Policy Trade-Offs for Commons The utilization of public and natural resources is subject to multiple interests from various parties. While some of these welfares align, many are conflicting, leading to antagonistic approaches from stakeholders. Consequently, national governments and international authorities come up with relevant policies to promote the interests of different stakeholders as well as safeguard commons. Therefore, trade-offs are essential policy strategies to accommodate dissimilar perspectives of stakeholders. Ecological Policy Trade-offs Environmental concerns have become a central aspect of modern affairs. Policies regarding conservation are devised to promote sustainable ecosystems and bio-diversities. However, their formulation is based on a consideration of other elements as commerce and private rights of ownership. Notably, protecting the environment comes at a cost to other industries who seek to sustain their culture or earn income for economic development. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) is an example of a global agency that spearheads the development of environmental policy trade-offs. The commission ensures that threatened whale species are protected from commercial fishers while at the same time allowing Aboriginal communities the right to continue hunting the…
The Effect of Leadership Style on Organizational Performance of Multinational Manufacturing Companies in Egypt Introduction Any business aims to ensure that it gains profits and becomes dominant in the market that it operates. Each organization also has set goals and objectives that are supposed to be completed in a specific period. The purposes are made based on the size of the organization, existing market conditions, and the working environment that the company is. To achieve the goals, there is a body that is set to oversee the functioning of the company. In many cases, it is a board of management. It is composed of leaders from different segments of the organization to make strategies and follow them up until the goals of the organization are achieved.

The second phase started in Britain and later on spread to North America, Europe, and Japan. Later on, in the 20thcentury, the revolution spread to other parts of the world. The first industrial revolution in Britain occurred because of the need to supply the necessities to the growing population.

Experiences of The Immigrants in The US Taking this class has been the most enlightening session in my entire life. I have not only learned about immigration but also the reasons that spurred the migration and how the Japanese immigrants dwelled in the United States, the formation of ethnicities in the United States culture, the rise of racism. I also came to read about the immigration of the Chinese into California and the struggle of the government to rid some of the Chinese following the rise in populations, using the Chinese Exclusion Act Clause. From most of this ethnic immigration to the US, one thing is for sure, and the immigrants played a significant role in the development of the economy of the United States. Additionally, I also learned about identity generation from the reading, A Shocking Fact of Life, and I found the book intriguing, especially the choice of words that the narrator used in the story (Sone). Most interestingly, the narrator explained that he did not like the sudden change of events, following the discovery that he had…

NAFTA and Women Introduction Although some would say that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been successful throughout the years, the NAFTA had not only economic effects, but also social effects, such as deteriorating worker conditions, especially for women. There have been numerous studies that indicate the benefits of NAFTA, including the growth of the economies of Mexico, Canada, and the United States. Mexico has specifically experienced rapid growth of its industries and farming sector as a result of NAFTA, even though subsistence farmers have been negatively impacted by increased competition from foreign companies (Horan, 2001). Americans and Canadians, on the other hand, continue to enjoy low prices for various commodities, which would be more expensive in the absence of free trade. This paper seeks to discuss how these gender inequalities manifest, and explores how the inequity can be acted upon to give women the same chances to succeed as their male counterparts. Discussion Despite the adoption of NAFTA, gender inequality continues to be witnessed in terms of employment opportunities available for men and women. New employment opportunities…
