Comparison Paper:Treaty of Versailles to Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points The Treaty of Versailles This paper compares the Treaty of Versailles to Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points, by outlining strengths, weaknesses of each argument, in addition to what the major war nations achieved and lost according to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Concerning the Treaty of Versailles, the agreement had various strengths. To be more precise, the German had to take responsibility for starting World War One, as indicated by clause 231 (Schoenherr, 2004). Now, this was an advantage because it provided sufficient justification for most of the remaining terms. And what is more important is the federal system of Germany had to compensate for the damage they made during the war. As a result, they paid reparations of 6,600 million Euros (Schoenherr, 2004). Another essential advantage of the treaty is that it brought about peaceful relations in most parts of Europe. As a result, there was the establishment of the League of Nations to monitor and foster friendly relationships all over Europe. The implementation of the treaty meant that…

Importance of “Favoring Many” In Democracy Athenians established the first world’s democratic constitution in 510 BC. The new ruling method was advanced into its classical form by the changes that were brought about by Pericles in nearly half a century later after establishment. It was during Pericles’ ruling in Athens that the most significant achievements took place in Greece (Taylor, 2018). In contrast, the other countries continued with the different forms of leadership, such as hierarchical and monarchical. Democracy itself is a leadership technique where decision making is characterized by equality among all the members of the group. This leadership tool is beneficial as it helps in improving the participants’ character and also has good policies and laws. For instance, the Athenian citizenship gave full participation in each decision that was made in the state regardless of the class or wealth. The political life was limited to males of native parentage and excluded slaves, children, women, and alien residents. Still, this act of equality in the political arena led to the evolvement of the idea of universal egalitarianism (Taylor,…

Health Inequalities Essay ASSESSMENT AIM The aim of this assessment is for you to select a particular health inequality and to evaluate the factors that contribute to that inequality. This assessment is an opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of health inequalities experienced by a particular group of people and to demonstrate your knowledge of that topic, critical thinking skills, and ability to express yourself in writing. BACKGROUND As you will learn in this unit, there are many factors—biological and psychosocial—that contribute to health and health inequalities in society. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health inequality as “differences in health status or in the distribution of health determinants between different population groups” (WHO, 2017, para. 2). While some health inequalities may be the result of biological factors that may not be modifiable, others are the result of differences in the distribution or allocation of important resources that have an effect on health (e.g., differences in access to education or healthcare). Inequalities that are avoidable are termed health inequities. For example, thinking globally, life expectancy in Australia…
