effect of government interventions The government intervenes in the economy intending to benefit its country. Free market economies state that government interventions cause an unfair allocation of resources. As a result, government interventions should strictly remain as government interventions. Other people believe that government interventions are powerful in fields such as monopoly and public goods. It is important to note that government interventions can affect economies differently. For one, it promotes equal and fair distribution of resources. The government must intervene in different businesses to ensure that the consumers benefit. The consumers are part of the economy hence the stabilization of the economy. The other effect of government interventions is on market failure. Organizations work by prediction. They try to understand and establish the approximate number of people that will require a certain amount of goods. If their prediction is wrong, then the government can help stabilize the economy. The government also intervenes in the macroeconomic environment to reduce recessions and over unemployment. A recession is described as the decrease or fluctuation of something. In this case, the recession of…
Affiliations between Domestic Terrorists and Transnational Terrorists Difference between Domestic Terrorism and Transnational Terrorism As defined by (Presley, 1996), domestic terrorism, which is also referred to as homegrown terrorism, is a type of terrorism whereby victims of a terrorist act are targeted by an executioner who has the same citizenship as the victims. On the other hand, transnational terrorism refers to actions in which executioners, victims, and sites of violence represent different nationalities and states (Crenshaw, 2020). Terrorist Group that Fits the Classification of Transnational Terrorism The terrorist group that fits the classification of transnational terrorism is Al-Qaeda, which is a transnational militant organization established in 1988 by Abdullah Azzam, Osama Bin Laden, and various other Arab volunteers (Bergen, 2006). Al-Qaeda has attacked military and non-military targets in several nations, including the U.S. September 11 attacks, the U.S. Embassy bombings in 1998, the Madrid bombing in 2004, and the Bali bombing in 2002. Affiliations between Al-Qaeda and Domestic Terrorist Groups Al-Qaeda operatives collaborate with members of domestic terrorist groups because both groups have a shared common goal, which is to…
Modern Criminal Trials and Problems with the Modern-day Jury Systems The juries in different nations across the world make decisions each day on the fate of defendants, which significantly result in them getting prison sentences that fit the crime for the offenders found guilty and release the innocent. However, various studies have revealed that the modern jury system in criminal cases, in numerous instances, get the decisions wrong. For example, a study by Northwestern University revealed that out of the 271 cases within the four areas of research, the juries gave the wrong verdict in at least one of every eight cases. Most individuals get sentenced, yet they are innocent due to the incorrect decisions made by the jury (Gargarella, 2017). Most of the errors in the modern jury systems are false acquittals where the defendant goes free while some are incorrect convictions, and this has negatively influenced the justice systems. In worst-case scenarios, some modern-day jury systems rely on the racial and gender stereotypes to make a sentence decision, and this deprives the right to participate as democratic equals.…

How can health and safety regulation become a trade barrier? After World War II, there was an outcry for free markets and international trade globally. Many countries were suffering from strict restrictions to business, especially if they did not belong to the economic bloc they earned to trade. By opening up of countries territories to international trade has had a significant boost in sales. Having great success has also brought disadvantages that countries are grappling to control. In attempts to protect their business locally and internationally, countries have put exceptional measures to protect locally produced products, disguised as non-tariffs barriers. An example of the non-tariff barriers includes passing laws that would require strict adherence to health and safety regulations. Since these countries do not want to place as those against free trade by other developed nations, imposing of non-tariffs enable them to enjoy supremacy of interest in their territories. These non-tariff regulations take the form of, subsidies, technical barriers, custom delays, import quotas, among others. These measures do not apply to an increase in taxes for imports. They do, however,…
Transfer Pricing The survey is based on the shifts in pricing model taking place across the globe. In a study of 623 executives of transfer pricing covering 36 locations among the 17 industries affected by pricing transfers, the survey narrows down to investigate the reasons behind the disputes associated with pricing among the jurisdictions based on the response from the study. The study was carried out in the year 2016, defining pricing transfer as a string of Art through which is compared to a thread pulled together using taut connecting pins that form geometric shapes. The survey showed that transfer pricing is undergoing a heightened tax-risk besides a controversial regime that has been fostered by a rapid increase in the tax-associated transparency demand. The high pressure on transparency and adherence to tax regulations has led to the oversharing of tax information and other relevant data regarding operations across companies globally. Due to the primarily shared information about companies and their services, questions regarding their incomes, and whether they avoid taxes become louder. Some of the questions asked are how…
Independent and Dependent Variables Question 1 Research question: How would you define an independent variable? Why have you chosen this measure? Hypothesis: I hypothesize social media does not depend on people’s interaction. Independent variable: Social media operation. Social media operation is not affected by different factors, such as how people interact and post things on social media. Its policies and rules remain unchanged. It is fixed such that every user has to follow them to be part of social media. Social connections around the world stay the same and only change when there is a change in social media policies, and this has effects on all media users (Abdel-Khalek 2012. This measure is vital in measuring social media operations because media operations do not depend on many factors, and this measure will give clear information. Evaluating system operation is essential in determining social media operations users (Abdel-Khalek, 2012). The maintenance structures are vital in maintaining individuals connections on social media. This may be through the keeping of user’s confidential information and maintaining the trustable relationship by monitoring fraud or…
Invoice factoring financing. Invoice factoring is a financial facility that enables a business to sell its unpaid invoices to an independent third party (factor). It is also referred to as debt factoring. The factoring company then takes responsibility for collecting invoice payments. This alternative finance has become popular since it provides capital for a business that experiences longer payment terms with invoices. It does not appear on the balance sheet as an expense, but rather a benefit without the traditional downside of a loan. How it works The business client submits details of the invoice to the factoring company, which will manage the credit control for a fixed period. Upon agreement, the factor will advance some funds to the client. The factor then proceeds with the collection of the debt from the customers. Once the invoice has been settled, the factor makes the remaining balance, minus their fee, available to the client. Pros Invoice factoring provides businesses cash flow and immediate capital to compensate for funding gaps caused by slow customers. Compared to bank loans, which take months for approval…
