  Denmark's prosperity depends on its trade with the European Union which represents half of its exports. A member of the EEC, two referendums had to be held for the Danish people to approve ratification of the treaty of European Union in 1993. Agriculture and fishing, amongst the most modern in the world, are prosperous. The very powerful food industry exports cheese, bacon, beef, beer and processed sea food.

• Make it right

  Make it right More than 4,000 homes in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina (which was the deadliest and most destructive Atlantic hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season). Two years later, when actor Brad Pitt toured the city, the neighborhood was still deserted and devastated. Pitt promised the families he met there, that he would help make it right.

• It's A Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown

  It's A Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown Introduction / Presentation / Analysis : The song was recorded on February 16, 1966, in New York. It topped the US R&B chart for 2 weeks. There is a reason why the late great musician James Brown is honored as the ‘Godfather of Soul.’ Indeed, the song was recorded as if it was a sermon with dramatic melody . Brown’s song makes broadly sketches towards pre-women's movement, in which men's responsibilities consist of burly pursuits such...

• A Communist regime since 1945 and completely cut off from the outsideworld for thirty years, Albania opened its frontiers in 1990.

  A Communist regime since 1945 and completely cut off from the outside world for thirty years, Albania opened its frontiers in 1990. Tens of thousands of Albanians then tried to flee to Italy and Greece. Little by little Albania is normalising its relations with these countries. It is now the most rural and poorest state in Europe, with an unemployment rate of almost 20%. However, since 1994 Albania has begun its recovery. Its economic growth rate is high (over 8%). The first country in Eastern E...

• Noteworthy for its pacifist culture, Iceland has been a neutral countrysince 1918 and declared itself a nuclear free zone in 1984.

  Noteworthy for its pacifist culture, Iceland has been a neutral country since 1918 and declared itself a nuclear free zone in 1984. It is one of the richest small countries in the world. Fishing accounts for 70 % of export earnings. The reduction in fishing quotas in 1992 and the subsequent strikes in 1994 are splitting the country between fear of isolation and fear of the dissolution in the community of Europe. Despite the Norwegian "No" to Europe, Iceland finds itself less isolated than it fea...

  The Voyage Out (1915) Virginia Woolf Chapter I As the streets that lead from the Strand to the Embankment are very narrow, it is better not to walk down them arm-in-arm. If you persist, lawyers' clerks will have to make flying leaps into the mud; young lady typists will have to fidget behind you. In the streets of London where beauty goes unregarded, eccentricity must pay the penalty, and it is better not to be very tall, to wear a long blue cloak, or to beat the air with your left hand. One a...

• “What Good Is This Thing Called Intelligence and Why Bother to Measure It?” Hilliard Response

              I've heard that the only thing an IQ test measures is how well people take IQ tests.  In the reading, “What Good Is This Thing Called Intelligence and Why Bother to Measure It?” Hilliard seems to agree that these tests aren't worth much.  One reason IQ tests are not valid is because there is no standard, agreed-upon definition of “intelligence.”  There are some qualities our textbook says most theorists attribute to intelligence, but it is still vague and ther...

  Prometheus Unbound Percy Bysshe Shelley Author's Preface The Greek tragic writers, in selecting as their subject any portion of their national history or mythology, employed in their treatment of it a certain arbitrary discretion. They by no means conceived themselves bound to adhere to the common interpretation or to imitate in story as in title their rivals and predecessors. Such a system would have amounted to a resignation of those claims to preference over their competitors which incited...

  The European Union, of which it has been a member since 1981, has just imposed an austerity plan on Greece. Government debts and the widespread slump has encouraged the development of a black economy.

A co-operation and friendship treaty was also signed with Albania in 1996. On the other hand, tensions with...

• Jacob's RoomVirginia WoolfChapter 14'He left everything just as it was,' Bonamy marvelled.

  Jacob's Room Virginia Woolf Chapter 14 'He left everything just as it was,' Bonamy marvelled. 'Nothing arranged. All his letters strewn about for anyone to read. What he expect? Did he think he would come back?' he mused, standing in the middle of Jacob's room. The eighteenth century has its distinction. These houses were built, say, a hundred and fifty years ago. The rooms are shapely, the ceilings high; over the doorways a rose or a ram's skull is carved in the wood. Even the panels, painted...

  More than 700 years old, this neutral State organized as a Confederation of sovereign cantons, is famous for its direct democracy and referendums.

Switzerland is facing increasing isolation within the European Economic Area, further accentuated by Austria, Sweden and Finland's membership of the European Union. The Swiss hav...

• The first Republic of the former USSR to declare its independence in1990, Lithuania is a Baltic State.

  The first Republic of the former USSR to declare its independence in 1990, Lithuania is a Baltic State. The early days of independence were marked by economic difficulties following from the divorce from the old system which had long been integrated into the USSR. Nonetheless the 1992 elections were won by the former Communist Party. Sullied by these affairs, the government was brought down by the parliament in February 1996. The march towards a market economy has meant a large fall in the stand...
