Effects Of Foreign Direct Investment On Economic Growth

Joana Hassan Katherine Schmeiser International Trade 17th October, 2015 Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth in Ghana Abstract It has been widely believed that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) assists developing countries with the much-needed capital for economic growth. Part of the foreign direct investment is the inflow of up to date technology and management skills. In this paper, I will investigate to what extent foreign direct investment inflows into Ghana affects the nation s Economic Growth and Development by addressing selected macro economic variables including GDP, Employment and Wages (Income). The Heckscher-ohlin model will be used to examine the relationship between foreign direct investment and Economic growth whiles Graphical analysis will be used to determine the effects of foreign direct investment on the selected macroeconomic variables. What has increasing FDI inflows contributed to Ghana’s economic growth? Has the contribution increased or decreased overtime? Has the effects of foreign direct investment inflows into Ghana been positive or negative? The study seeks to answer these an d many more questions on the effects of foreign direct investment.

Terrorism Towards An Understanding Essay Example For Students

Terrorism Towards An Understanding Essay Terrorism Towards an UnderstandingCriminology 413January 24, 2000AssignmentTerrorism Towards an UnderstandingI am in complete disagreement with Corrado and Cohens theory of political terrorism. I believe that political terrorism is committed by dominant, aggressive males in positions of power, acting with other dominant, aggressive males for more power, money, or status, and without regard to the spiritual nature of human kind. I believe that dividing political terrorism into state or anti state terrorism, does not get to the root cause of terrorism. To uncover the true cause of terrorism, I believe involves identifying motive and personalities of those terrorizing. In most cases it is dominant, aggressive males who hold positions of power in either the political, economic, or military arenas, and who manipulate events to suite themselves, e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and in more recent times, Slobodon Milosovic. Those that fight against dominance and aggression, I believe shou ld be called revolutionaries. For example, the Irish Republican Army. The North of Ireland harboured a protestant streak of dominant, aggressive males, who in attempt to hang on to power, unleashed the horrific events of Bloody Sunday, and many other uncalled for acts of aggression. These acts where sanctioned by politicians, in both the North of Ireland and England, who acted in conjunction with both the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and the British Army. On Bloody Sunday, the British soldiers deliberately aimed and killed young men, they believed most likely to be members of the Irish Republican Army, at the peaceful, albeit illegal, demonstration. all the deceased where men, and nine of them were under the age of 25. It was an effort to stop what has almost come to pass. A fair assembly of politicians, who represent all layers and fabrics of the society. The event is still under review.The actions of the Irish Republican Army has eventually destroyed the positions of power that the dominant, aggressive males abused. But I do not believe that we should label those who fought for a better life as terrorists.People who put their lives on the line for true justice, I believe should be referred to as a Revolutionaries. We will write a custom essay on Terrorism Towards An Understanding specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now We are exposed to new conflicts now, almost on a daily basis, and no two situations are ever identical. This makes the breakdown of a typology extremely difficult.The typology which defines political terrorism, according to Corrado and Cohen, has eleven different categories, in order to encompass all of the different situations. These typologies may be useful in a security setting, but in order to get to the bottom of the problem, I believe that rather than complicating the issue with many meanings, it should instead be simplified and attributed to one of two choices. Either acts of dominant aggressive personalities, for selfish gain, or for the achievement of human rights. It does seem that most of the state terrorism, would fall into the category of actions by a dominant, aggressive male, whereas the majority of anti state terrorism can be attributed to actions of revolutionaries seeking justice. A good example of this perhaps could be the recent events in E. Timor.Taken one step f urther, we could distinguish all actions as either taken for personal gain or selfish motives, or actions taken from a spiritual base, which concerns itself with the furthering of humanity through acts of genuine, long term initiatives for peace and harmony. And which sometimes requires revolutionary tactics. This discipline, along with history, sociology, psychology, and political science, struggle to structure the chaos in our world, in an attempt to bring understanding and closure to the problems that threaten to destroy us. In history actions of the dominant, aggressive males speak for themselves, for example, WWI and WWII. One would be hard pressed to deny that if you look for a conflict, anywhere in the world, 99.9% of the time, a male leader, along with others males in positions of power, are most likely responsible. This trend extends far into the past. Like Israel for example. Taken over by the Holy Roman Empire, the inhabitants became displaced because they did not follow the teachings of the Holy Roman Empire. Another ethnic group moved into Israel, and we are left with the mess we see today. .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 , .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .postImageUrl , .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 , .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:hover , .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:visited , .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:active { border:0!important; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:active , .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028 .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u71972d1c47e605f99494605e12ed5028:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: F. Scott Fitzgerald Essaythe process of terrorism is in a constant state of changeTypologies may increase our understanding of terrorism, but each terrorist incident must be understood in its specific social, historical, and political circumstances. Under these conditions, Crozier, Bell, Wilkinson, along with Corrado and Cohen, struggle against insurmountable odds, to conclusively define terrorism. Many of these methods for classifying or identifying different forms of terrorism have categorised, and eased understanding. For example, Crozier devised six types of terrorist groups ranging from right-wing fascism, to revolutionary left-wing behaviour and anarchy. It is a much simpler typology than that put forth by Corrado and Cohen.. Corrado and Cohens typology does not, as Crozier does, make reference to a pathological group. I agree with Corrado and Cohen, and believe that there is no room in a terrorist definition or typology, for mental illness. Although I view many dominant, aggressive males as sick people, categorizing them as pathological, is more a reflection of the system that enabled them to get into power in the first place. For example, Hitler wrote and spoke about outrageous acts of racism that should have categorized him as mentally ill, but rather the system failed and he progressed into a dictatorial leader who was partly responsible for WWII.I use Hitler as an example because he typifies the rarity of a dominant, aggressive male acting alone. Hitler was surrounded by dominant aggressive males that helped him to further his ideology. Croziers typology is much simpler than Corrado and Cohens. But Croziers typology has made the work of se curity much easier by hinting at the background and goals of terrorists. For example, a neofascist movement would most likely include some sort of ethnic cleansing such as we witnessed in WWII and the Jews. A minority nationalist group however, would be striving for a different political system or changes to a system that they see as unfair.This understanding can prompt a different kind of security response. The downfall of Croziers typology is that it has become dated, and I find it is too vague in that each of the six categories, could indeed have sub categories, that would be more specific, such as Corrado and Cohens typology. As it is explained in the book the nature of response is determined to some extent by the structure of the group causing the problem. Bell sets out six types of terrorism in an effort to simplify what response would be necessary. In Bells typology he includes acts of the mentally ill, such as the psychotic. And, again I disagree that this category should be included. However, I do find that Bells definition of revolutionary terror, is perhaps is the most descriptive of actions that I would consider taken for just cause. He uses words such as organizational, allegiance, functional, provocative, manipulative, and symbolic gestures to explain the forms of revolutionary terror. But these words do little to arouse a feeling of dominance, and aggression. Instead, it seems to me, they invoke a structure to classify the underlying actions of a revolution. Bell believes that media stories of terrorism, or politicians referring to terrorism, is in fact a reference to revolutionary terror. Bells typology is closer in a sense, to Corrado and Cohen, because it breaks down revolutionary terror into different forms, much as Corrado and Cohen have done. Bell suggests, that much like Corrado and Cohen, these types may overlap. His theory is, as was Croziers, helpful in security situations because it identifies the reasons behind the actions, such as e ndemic terrorism, which he describes as internal struggle. I am not sure if the revolutionary type activity described as behavioural change through fear, represents people becoming revolutionaries due to fearful or oppressive regimes, or that the revolutionaries instigate fear in order to bring change to the society. I also disagree with Bell including a criminal type of terrorism, because I see crime as different from terrorism, and prompting a different response. His forms of revolutionary terror is similar to Corrado and Cohens anti state terrorism. For example, single issue terrorism could also describe functional terrorism, i.e. to accomplish goals and missions of a group. And, provocative, manipulative, and symbolic forms of revolutionary terror are tactics used by ideological and ethnic national forms of anti state terrorism. However, although he strives to identify forms of revolutionary terror he does not confine the definitions to state or anti state, except in the provoca tive definition. Whereas Corrado and Cohen separate the two. .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e , .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .postImageUrl , .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e , .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:hover , .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:visited , .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:active { border:0!important; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:active , .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ue9505fabc5998b8b32ff3136ea60383e:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Role Of The Department Of Homeland SecurityIt must be obvious that some revolutions are necessary in order to bring about a, usually long overdue, change. The French Revolution of 1848, which mirrors the conflict in the North of Ireland in some ways, would today be classified as acts of terrorism. But the people who turned to violence against the government, were called revolutionaries, not terrorists, and I feel this in a way bolsters my opinion that there should be a separation of motives, before we can identify a pure political terrorist act. In Paul Wilkinsons typology, I noticed he also included an area of criminal activity linked to terrorism, which I previously ment ioned disagreeing with. Wilkinson agreed however that it is important to distinguish criminal terrorism from their political counterparts.Wilkinson also agrees with Corrado and Cohen that it is important to distinguish between external and internal terrorism. He sees political terrorism in its most common form as internal state power used to frighten citizens into obedience. He sees state sponsored terrorism as a tactic used in international conflict. He also describes nationalist and revolutionary categories, which mean to gain political independence from a colonial power or to change the ethnic composition of an existing government without changing the ideological structure. Or changing the political ideology of a social or political unit. I believe these categories are similar to my theory of revolutionary actions. His typology is not as in-depth or self explanatory as Corrado and Cohens typology. But does point to a revolutionary element, which I believe is important to distingu ish. Of all the typologies I prefer Corrado and Cohens. It attempts to cover all avenues of violence and also attempts to give the reasoning behind it. Although I still disagree with actions of revolutionaries, such as the IRA, being referred to as terrorism. Corrado and Cohens typology does break down areas that have been previously left untouched.Such as formal and informal state terrorism. However, I still believe that all actions of violence today, are generated for the causes set out in my dominant, aggressive male theory. This theory has carried me through many essays, and I still believe, that although it has not been fully developed, it goes a long way in explaining events in our world. The theory is not a feminist theory, in that it does not believe that all men are dominant and aggressive. Quite to the contrary, dominant and aggressive males are responsible for killing many more men, than women as was evidenced in both the slaughterhouses of WWI and WWII. It is dominant aggressi ve males that I speak out against in protection of the world as a whole, and not as a female dominated arena. This theory speaks out against any acts of dominance and aggression, and wishes to identify those responsible for these acts, in an effort to stop them from happening. I do not wish to see the world run by women, but I do wish to see dominant aggressive males removed from power, and replaced with men and women whose values include the preciousness of life, and the importance of a non-violent society.

Georgia - Seventy-one year old golfing misogynist, William "Hootie" Johnson, Chairman of the Augusta National Golf Club, has undergone major heart surgery. Unfortunately, he is expected to make a complete recovery. Augusta National hosts the Masters golf tournament and Johnson runs the club and the tournament with an iron fist. When the National Council of Women's Organizations sent a letter to Johnson in June to urge him to admit women to the club, Johnson provoked a storm by publicly declaring that he would not be bullied into admitting women. He then released the sponsors for the television broadcast of the 2003 event, in order to spare them from being pressured on the issue, thereby giving up $3 million in advertising revenue. A Club spokesman said the surgery involved a coronary artery bypass, aortic aneurysm repair and aortic valve replacement. "We're surprised that the doctors found he had a heart," said a spokeswoman for the Council. Augusta National is a private club, and legally can be a men-only institution. No one was paying any attention to the Council's position until Hootie issued a lengthy and emotional response. But while the club is private, the Masters tournament is the most watched sporting event of the year, and is thus arguably a public event. Why don't they admit some women, hold a second Masters tournament for women golfers, and make twice the advertising revenue? Augusta National's biggest PR problem may be that its Chairman is named Hootie. Proving yet again his audacity, former skirt-chasing President, Bill Clinton, is seeking young interns to work under, over or alongside him at his private foundation, according to a classified ad recently placed in New York University's student newspaper. EVERYTHING, we've been told over and over since the horror of September 11, is CHANGED. Not completely. True, the collective fear and anger generated by that atrocity has completed the right-wing takeover of Am...

Essay Example That information should be made public so that future generations would not have a misconception of what truly happened. In tours, it has been said that the killings happened non-stop. Then according to Dr. Franciscek Piper, it was the delousing happened day and night while the â€Å"killings† happened 20 to 30 minutes during 24 hours. Exaggerations are being given to facts. For what reason? Just the thought of innocent people being killed is enough to get sympathy from generations. There is no need for false information to gain compassion about what have transpired. All that the public needs is the truth. Figures may not be exact and just estimations, which would be completely fine as long as estimations would not be sensationalized. Based on the video which had been the focus and the main reference of the paper, right and truthful facts are of utmost importance specifically in facing issues such as the Holocaust which had affected the lives of a whole
