Economic Systems and Their Characteristics

Command Economy

Comparable to a monopoly, in a command economy, the government has explicit control over the price and supply of a good or service.

Mixed Economy

The main characteristic of a mixed economy is that while some sectors reflect private ownership and freedom, and the flexibility of the law of demand, other sectors are subject to government planning.

Established Economies

Examples of established economies include:

• North America
• European Union
• Japan

Emerging Economies

Emerging economies typically face relatively low GDP per capita and a workforce that is either unskilled or semi-skilled, but they exhibit sustained economic reform and growth.

Free Trade Agreements

The creation of free trade agreements has... Continue reading "Command, Mixed, and Emerging Economies: HR Management" »

Claiming an Interest in Property

In advising [the claimant], the question arises as to whether she would be able to claim any interest in the flat which [the landowner] stated in his will was to be given to a charity. It is quite obvious she wants to continue staying in the flat and, therefore, she needs to establish a beneficial interest in the property. If she only has a license, that would serve her no purpose, as it is purely personal permission and does not bind any third party.

The best avenue for her to establish an interest in the property is to prove she has a claim based on Proprietary Estoppel. Raising a Constructive Trust or Resulting Trust might be quite difficult, as she had not made any direct financial contribution to the property'...

Overriding Protection and Adverse Possession

The Limitation Act 1980 previously granted overriding protection to individuals who had acquired rights through adverse possession (AP) for 12 uninterrupted years. This meant that even if someone hadn't yet reached the 12-year threshold, they could still receive protection, preventing a third-party purchaser from evicting them. However, this approach created inconsistencies in the law.

The Land Registration Act 2002 Reform

The Land Registration Act (LRA) 2002 brought significant changes to the doctrine of adverse possession. Section 96 and Schedule 6 of the LRA 2002 now govern this area. Notably, Section 96 abolishes the Limitation Act 1980's time limits for registered land. As a result, owning land...

Sustainable Agriculture and Global Challenges

An alternative approach involves applying fertilizers precisely to specific areas of a field where demand is high, often combined with drip irrigation to deliver water directly to plant roots. While this method can be expensive, it is highly efficient in controlling and reducing the amount of water and fertilizers used in agricultural fields.

Why Malnutrition Persists Globally

• Poverty: Many cannot afford nutritious food.
• Food Shortages: Periods like "hungry seasons" before harvests force families to travel far for food.
• Climate Change: Leading to droughts and floods that disrupt food production.
• Food Waste: Significant amounts of edible food are lost or discarded.
• National Economies: Economic instability

Major Schools of Psychology

Behaviorism

Behaviorism, a dominant school of thought in the 1950s, emphasizes the role of environmental causes in shaping behavior. Observable behaviors, such as classical conditioning (Pavlov's experiment) and operant conditioning (Skinner's experiment), are the focus of research.

Psychoanalysis

Founded by Sigmund Freud, psychoanalysis highlights the influence of the unconscious mind on behavior. Freud's theory of the id, ego, and superego explains the complex interactions that drive human behavior. The five stages of psychosexual development (oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital) are key concepts.

Cognitive Psychology

Cognitive psychology emerged as a response to behaviorism, focusing on mental processes such as thinking,... Continue reading "Exploring Major Schools of Psychology: Behaviorism, Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Psychology, and Humanistic Psychology" »
