To Build A Fire And The Open Boat Analysis
Individualistic Naturalism in "To Build a Fire" and "The Open Boat"
It is no surprise that the country descended from immigrants values the potential of the individual to
build their place in the world. American individualism is at the root of the American dream,
American capitalism, and American literature. This is perhaps less obvious in works based on the
principles of science and not character or society. Naturalism's relationship with individualism is
embedded in its existence as the story of man versus nature, human determination to survive, and
authors' transcendent portraits of being.
In "To Build a Fire", Jack London creates an American character whose belief in his ability to
complete a journey alone results in his death. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Even as London draws a pessimistic conclusion where the unyielding powers of natural laws
overcome the individual, he undercuts determinism with the upshot of the man's dog and friends
surviving past the end of the story. With the last lines, London narrates an image of "stars that
leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky" (639). He describes an indifferent and cruelly
beautiful universe of hard science but then incorporates a promise of the continued existence of
human life, of "food providers and fire providers" (639) who were smart enough to protect
themselves from the extreme cold. The strong narrative of naturalism and pessimistic determinism
in "To Build a Fire" does not exclude the presence of hope and beauty. This short story about a man
dying alone in the incredibly cold tundra suggests that though an individual man's place in the
universe is worthless, humanity will transcend and persist.
Stephen Crane also draws on hope and transcendentalism to describe the strength of man in his
battle to survive against nature. There are four men in "The Open Boat," yet when the correspondent
rows alone at night he doesn't feel the "subtle brotherhood of men" (587), but that "he was the one
man afloat on all the oceans" (594). Crane's adherence to naturalism shows in the correspondent's
desire to communicate with a personification of nature, the great antagonist. In response–like

Geo World Cities Economic and Cultural Authority Essay
Question: Demonstrate why world cities are powerful centres of economic and cultural authority
A world city is a large city that has been outstripped its natural urban network and become part of an
international global system. World cities have become the central connecting point for the
multiplicity of linkages and interconnections that sustain the contemporary world economy, and its
social and political systems. According to the 2004 GaWC studies world cities can be ranked based
on their provision of 'advanced producer services' such as accountancy, advertising, finance and law.

Hence, world cities influence the flow of both finance and investment throughout the world thus
resulting in economic authority.
World cities are markets for a vast range of goods and services as they are areas of massive
accumulations of wealth and have extraordinary purchasing power. The importance of these cities as
markets is shown by patterns of concentrated retailing in high–order consumer goods, such as
clothing, jewellery, and art. Streets such as Fifth Avenue in New York are famous for their retailing
of very expensive goods.
Cultural Authority
World cities are centres for a range of cultural facilities and world entertainment. They have
theatres, opera houses, large entertainment. They host major cultural and sporting events ranging
from art exhibitions to tennis tournaments. The 2008 Beijing Olympics and Fifa's world cup in
Munich both were viewed by over a billion people worldwide. New York for example has a very
strong cultural authority with the New York Times reporting that in 2010 48.7 million people visited
New York spending $31 billion, which is almost 7% increase when compared to the 45 million in
2009. New York is home to a range of museums such as the museum of modern art and the
Guggenheim, Broadway, famous universities such as Colombia and NYU, and centres for the arts
such as the Julliard School and Lincon centre. Therefore the cultural authority of a world city stems

The Quality Of Air Environment And Health Of The Great London
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
The quality of air is a very important factor in projecting, representing and monitoring the status of
environment and health of the Great London. It is known that the Great London has a name of
'foggy city' since the severe air pollution event during December 1952 (?). Even though the air
status has been improved in a large degree in the recent years, atmospheric pollutant monitoring
should be never ignored, and should advance the measured technology and data model. The present
model is supported with GIS that use a geographic dimension to express the air quality information.
The geographical model is built by relating the actual pollution concentrations to the physical
characteristics of the pollution such ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The projects are designed with the following objectives:
1) The value of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are vividly represented in
various urban places across the Great London.
2) The value change of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are effectively
visualized with temporal variation.
3) The emission inventories are efficiently connected with the nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), and SO2 values to monitor the emission sources.
4) The atmospheric pollution model are completely built across the Great London.
1.3. Information required
The most important aspect of modelling air pollution during temporal and spatial change is the
pollutants content which could stand for the air quality. For instance, the concentration of nitric
oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are used as the indicator of air pollution in this
project. Model maps are needed, for example, by identifying pollution 'hot–spots', to show the
distribution of air pollutant in spatial patterns, and to provide further estimates of human health
conditions. Another product is the graph showed the temporal change of air pollution. This project

Introduction
Since the introduction of bus service tendering in London in the mid 1980s, there has been,
according to London Transport Buses (1999), "a dramatic improvement" in both the quality of bus
services provided and the value for money achieved. However, the rules of the game have changed
considerably over time. Whereas in the first instance a gross cost regime was used to let just a part
of the network to public sector operators, in recent years the whole of the network has been let in ...

The last of these contracts expired earlier this year. To complete the process, the Tendered Bus
Division started to let competitive net cost contracts alongside competitive gross cost contracts, the
aim being to use the type of contract in any particular case which delivered the best value for money
and incentivised operators to improve service quality. As of June 1999, only gross cost contracts
have been offered.
Impacts of tendering
London Transport Buses (1999) claims "a dramatic improvement" in both the quality of bus services
provided and the value for money achieved. Other authors have assessed these claims: White
(2000), White and Tough (1995), Kennedy (1995b). Salient features include: cost reductions of 47%
per bus mile between 1985/6 and 1998/9 (White, 2000); a reduction in the number of bids per
contract from 7 in early 1995 to 3 in late 1996 (ibid.); cheaper costs to the tendering authority of
about 10% per bus mile for gross contracts rather than net (White and Tough, 1995); and lower bid
prices as the number of bids exceeds four (Kennedy, 1995b).
PART B: PRINCIUPLES OF BUS TENDERING
We mean by tendering "the allocation [by government agency] of a protected or exclusive right to
exploit or carry out an activity" (Baldwin and Cave, 1999) such that "consumers or the public gain
an advantage – for example, an efficiently produced and competitively priced service" (ibid.).

Milgram’s Study of Obedience to Authority
Introduction:
This essay will outline Milgram's experiment of obedience and outline ethical issues relating to it.
Before outlining Milgram's experiment this essay will look at Milgram himself. 'Stanley Milgram
was born in New York in 1933. A graduate of Queens College and Harvard University, he taught
social psychology at Yale and Harvard Universities before become a Distinguished Professor at the
Graduate Centre of the City University Of New York.' (Zimbardo, 2010) Milgram's study of
obedience was an experiment that looked at how 'ordinary citizens obey the orders of an authority
figure if those orders meant physically harming an innocent person' (Milgram, 1974). He conducted
'18 studies between 1960 and 1963' so that he then could examine whether people would obey
authority figures that involved giving innocent people electrical shocks of up to 450 volts. One of
the studies was based on '40 men, ranging from 20 to 50 and representing a cross section of
occupations and educational roles in the USA.' (Milgram, 1974). This study involved three people a
learner, a teacher and an administrator. Milgram (1974) states that 'each participant meet a middle
aged man who was introduced as another participant but was actually a confederate'. The Learner
and the teacher roles were taught by the participant to be chosen at random but it was rigged as the

The reform of the British constitution remains unfinished...
In this essay, I would like to analyse why the reform of the British constitution is seen as unfinished
business. Constitutional reform is when the system of government and how government institutions
interact is changed. This has also meant the codification of some components of the constitution in
the UK. Between 1997 and 2007, there were a considerable number of constitutional reforms
introduced by the Blair governments. These reforms included devolution in Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland, decentralisation, reform of the House of Lords and Commons, creations of new
legislation granting greater freedom and rights within the UK, and so on. However, some of them
are yet to be accomplished or in progress related to the electoral and ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Until now, the content of the constitutional reform has not covered any electoral reform yet as the
constitution was prone to manipulation by single–party governments.
The reform of the Human Rights Act can illustrate that the constitutional reform did not go far
enough. In 1998, the Blair government announced that the citizens ' rights would be safeguarded
and strengthened through incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
However, this created a problem as the UK now has two sets of rights – those built up under
Common Law and those in the Human Rights Act. These two sets of rights may conflict and, in
addition, cases can be taken using these rights to both the UK Supreme Court and the European
Court of Human Rights (which is the supreme court for the European Convention on Human
Rights). The UK judiciary is divided on how to resolve this issue.
The centrepiece of Labour 's programme of constitutional reform was undoubtedly devolution. This
was achieved with remarkably few problems. There now seems no likelihood that the new
arrangements could be reversed, even by a Conservative administration. The election on 6 May
1999 of a Parliament in Scotland, with extensive powers of primary legislation as well as tax–
raising, and an Assembly in Wales, with powers of secondary legislation only, will have a profound
impact on governance within the UK. In

Naturalism As A Genre Of Naturalism
Naturalism as a genre depicts commonplace happenings dictated by powers larger than humans,
such as nature or society. As Phillip Barrish puts it, "Literary works ... traditionally identified with
naturalism depict characters whose lives are controlled or 'determined' by immense, impersonal
forces that the characters themselves can barely understand, let alone effectively resist" (116).
Obviously, not all naturalist literature is created equal; different authors choose to focus on different
aspects of the genre. Specifically, this study will be exploring the differences between divergent
interpretations of naturalism: the first, a story controlled by the forces of nature, and, the second, a
story manipulated by the power of societal structures.
First, let's take a closer look at these two branches of naturalism. The naturalism based in nature
involves both the nature of the human body, including things such as hunger and death, and the
influences of the natural world itself, such as hurricanes and snowstorms. This varies significantly
from the form of naturalism that roots itself in the authorities of society such as the economy and
social class limitations. While these two subdivisions of naturalism are perceivably unique from one
another, Barrish explains that "naturalist writers frequently blur together the natural and social
orders" (116). That is to say, there is a fine line between the two that is repeatedly smudged by
authors. Jack London's "To Build a Fire" and

Gentrification Of Death Essay
Gentrification of death: Behind London's burial crisis Seven boroughs in London contain no new
grave space, and a further 19 will be unable to meet expected demand for burials over the next 20
years, according to local authorities. The shortage of burial space in the capital is reaching a critical
stage in many of its 32 boroughs. Data shows that the majority of them currently lack the capacity to
supply enough graves to meet the level of demand suggested by mortality projections over the next
two decades. Changes to burial legislation gives London boroughs the authority to reuse graves in
order to combat grave shortage. The practice involves placing a new or additional body in an

The Council doesn't even have to get permission from families of the private graves, or even

spokesman John Wade, said the local authority does not currently reuse graves but may in the
future. A similar scheme is already in place in the City of London, Cemetery & Crematorium, where
more than 1,500 graves have been reused. The 161–year–old cemetery was on the verge of running
out of space when officials decided to begin reusing graves in 2009. It has proven to be a popular
choice, with over 60 per cent of burials there now in reused graves. Trevor Davis, Westminster
cemeteries manager, believes the most effective way to stop cemeteries from overflowing is by
reusing graves. He said: "New graves can continue to be developed on an indefinite basis as
required through overfill/overvaulting and through reuse." To avoid reusing graves, some cemeteries
in London have "created" new burial plots. A Greater London Authority audit from 2010 reported
that Brockley & Ladywell Cemetery in Lewisham "found" new burial space by demolishing chapels
and clearing land. Even so, the entire authority of Lewisham will run out of spaces at its four

Why Was The Stamp Act Created
When the Stamp Act was created, it was because of the broken or leaky trade system between the
Europeans and the Colonists. Their was a lot of smuggling that went on throughout the system.
Many of the officers that should have been preventing these actions, just accepted bribes or just
didn't stop what was going on. Even though the system pretty much worked because everyone
profited, the British Parliament wanted to tighten its grasp on the trade by punishing the colonists,
thus The Stamp Act was born. The Stamp Act created out cry that would eventually lead to a better,
more unified colony which would evolve into the United States The Stamp Act was created in 1765
by the Parliament of Great Britain. It directed a tax toward the colonists as a result of the disregard
for the rules of trade. It required almost every kind of document to be printed on paper that was
created in London that had a revenue stand put on it. The kinds of documents that were stamped
were things like legal documents, playing cards, newspapers, and many other types of papers. This
created a hassle because all paper had to travel from London to the colonies if it was going to be an
official document. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
But what really united the colony was the common enemy of Great Britain. For the first time, the
British created a tax that affected everyone, not just some from the south or some from the north.
This is a common theme throughout history, uniting to beat a greater, singular enemy. After this the
colonists began to question the authority of the British Parliament and how they could possibly be

Ethnicity Creates Inequality in the Labor Market
In my opinion, the various kind of ethnicity in London creates some inequality in labour market and
health. The ethnicity is de1fined as a process of self–definition arising from inside a group. A way in
which individuals define their personal identity and a type of social stratification that emerges when
people form groups based on their real or perceived origins. (Dictionary of Human Geography, 5th
Edition). Firstly, the inequality in minority ethnicity group labour market is one significant existing
factor of London's socially inequality. There were a large amount of migrant from Africa, Pakistan,
India and south Asia from 1950s to 1970s. It might be a result of British colonisation in some Asian
and African countries. It provides a convenience for those residents in the colony to come to
England and worked. However, most of them didn't accept higher education or some skill training;
therefore they could only do the unskilled, manual and low–paid jobs which the local British
residents no longer wanted to do. After few decades' development, the working and living condition
of minority ethnicity group is well developed and getting more optimistic, they gradually get higher
paid jobs and the working environment is becoming better as well. For instance, many second–
generation minorities from Indian, Ugandan Asian and Chinese backgrounds have done well at

To what extent does multi–level government increase democracy and bring government closer to the
people?
The United Kingdom consists of four countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. As
the UK is a unitary state, the main power is centralised at Westminster. However, since 1997, power
has been devolved to five different areas; the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly, the Northern
Ireland Assembly, the Greater London Assembly and elected mayors in a number of cities, such as
London. There are also several levels of local government, such as county and district councils and
unitary authorities.

This therefore brings power closer to the Scottish people, through the Scottish Parliament, but in
hand it takes power away from the English people. This may be because there is no purely English
devolved body in comparison to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland
Assembly. Power is also brought closer to the people as devolved bodies can hold referendums;
however, on the other hand, they are limited on what they can hold referendums about.
On the other hand, devolution had failed to resolve the problem of voter apathy, for example, barely
1 in 4 of the electorate voted in favour of the Welsh Assembly. The use of PR in the devolved
assemblies has weakened the link between elected representatives and their constituents. The
Conservatives argue that devolution has undermined the unity of the UK, and some argue that the
Barnett formula is too generous towards the Scottish. Also, most importantly, it is argued that
devolution raised the problematic West Lothian question.
Devolution has not brought power closer to the people in that regional councils only have limited

that it varies according to one's different experiences and their knowledge; however, the graphic
novel reinforces the idea that a terrorist is someone who inflicts harm on innocent civilians and is

In most instances that are provided in the text, he only takes away the lives of those who are in his
opinion, the cause of London's corrupt government. However, a few may argue that because V was a
victim of the government, that his motives behind choosing the lives that are taken are purely for his
personal revenge, instead of for the greater good of the people– but this is not the case. For instance,
when V makes a replica of a prison to torture Evey, his intentions are to help her understand the
system that the government created(Lloyd)Many oppose the idea of V helping Evey due to the
torture that he forced her to endure, and believe that V's intentions were purely to brainwash her in
order to manipulate and use her to his advantage in his scheme to terrorize the government.
Although this reason is valid, nevertheless, it can be argued that the freedom fighter simply did not
have a choice, if he was truly going to make a difference in the government; apart from having to
instill fear in the government he had to expose them as well, and part of the process was making
sure that if Evey could see the truth– so could everyone else. A credible source on the other hand,

Another benefit to the reforms is that the prime minister appoints members based on their
profession, for instance the majority of the life peers that are in the house of lords are lawyers which

Tony Blair initial aim when he came to government, was to have a fully elected house of lords, in
this case would have been more democratic. Due to elected politicians in the house of lords many
appointed members by the Prime Minister are part of his own party which can ais the Prime

Solemn Soot and Social Despair
In the Transformative World of William Blake England was changing. The rolling green shires and
inspiring scenery that was fixed in the earliest memories of the Romantic poets was quickly
vanishing. There was a trade off happening. Rivets for rocks, chimney stacks for trees, locomotives
for carriages and steal tracks for cobblestone. Piece by piece England's quaint agricultural backdrop
was being replaced by a stern industrial one. Progress! Some shouted. The greater good! Others
exclaimed. Expansion was becoming virtuous. In droves they came from the country to work in
London's factories. The machines ruled the fields now. Farmers turned their plows in for hammers
and the way peopled lived was never going to be the same.
A new social class was developing in England. It was the working class. And although a wider
segment of the population was producing, creating steam for the Empire, certain leading minds of
the time had to examine the under–belly of this fiery beast. In William Blake's poems "The Chimney
Sweeper" and "London" he does just that. Through this examination Blake dwells on the theme of
the loss of innocence. He writes these two works in a straight forward tone, almost like a social

According to Introduction To Law Enforcement, The London Metropolitan Act of 1829 was a
government subsidized police force established in 1829, passed by Parliament, and was led by Sir

enforcement tactic that works better than current law enforcement methods that had flaws.

assistance as well as the amount of force and presence of police is critical to be met only to
neutralize the threat and avoid overkill. Similarly, Peel emphasized the manner of an officer should
be that of a quiet and determined rather than a tempered one. As aforementioned, the presence of an
officer can affect a situation as well as how trained and qualified the officer is. Nonetheless, Peel
incorporated an identifying number for each officer as an identity for the officer and allocated that
each police headquarter should be centrally located and easily accessible to the public. Peel further
detailed that officers should undergo a probationary period and their records reflect their training,
history of their performances as an officer, and possibly holds each officer accountable for all of
their actions (Doerner, 2016). The assumption can be made that Peel's Principles place responsibility

and quantity of these open spaces differ across two areas, Tower Hamlets (TH) and The City, before

key terms. 'Open Space' can be interpreted in different ways, however I understand it to refer to
green space (parks, woodlands, gardens) but also the open river and canal space, or the open air in
the capital. I interpret 'character' as the type of open space, the size and location in relation to other
land use (commercial, industrial or residential), and overall 'feel' of the space. 'Quality' is interpreted
as the standard of the space (for example how well maintained, features available and overall air
quality). Finally, the variation across the city refers to how the style and standard of these spaces
differ across the 1000mile2 area, comparing similarities, patterns and exceptions across boroughs.

Character Analysis Of A Room With A View
Claire Conti
AP Literature
Mrs. Scruggs
29 August 2017
A Room With A View Lucy is a young woman born and raised in 19th century England, when the
country was in its prime. England was the world power, causing it to be extremely wealthy and a
safe place to live. Lucy and her aunt go on vacation to Italy, and her eyes are opened to a whole
other world. During the time, Italy was a scummy city where the poor lived, but she is able to
discover herself while vacationing there. Within Italy, she finds love, adventure and exhilaration that
she could never experience in her homeland. In A Room with a View by E. M. Foster, Lucy's
character is dynamically developed from uptight and predictable to full of adventure and excitement
as she travels between the prime and proper England to the dirty and unkempt Italy. England is
clean, neat and boring, which makes Lucy predictable and boring due to the structured life she is
forced to live. The buildings within the city of London are simply lackluster in both looks and
character. As Lucy gazes upon a meadow, she notices how "pretty cottages lined it on two sides, and
the upper and third side was occupied by a new stone church, expensively simple" (82). There is no
exciting architecture in England, but everything is very old and very expensive. The diction used to
describe the buildings and the city illustrates how archaically beautiful England is, but highlights
how humdrum it becomes it Lucy. Then, when she returns from Italy, she is

Comparing London by William Blake and Westminster Bridge by William Wordsworth
William Blake was born in London in 1757. He was taught by his mother at home, and became an

Blake lived on the edge of poverty and died in neglect. His poetry receiving little acclaim while he
was alive.
'London' was written by Blake in 1789. Taken from Blake's 'Songs of Experience', the style is darker
and in a sense depressing. It describes the city after the Industrial Revolution. Blake takes a very
negative and hopeless view of the city and the lives of those living within it. He hated the way

In the second stanza Blake describes the whole scale of humanity from infant to man to feel general
disgruntlement with the life that London inflicts upon them. 'Ban' suggests restricted or prohibited.
Blake however suggests that men have in a sense designed their own prison, implying this by use of
'mind–forg'd manacle'. He describes infants who cannot speak but are nonetheless born under the
chains, which Blake suggests society has needlessly inflicted upon itself. Again he creates effect by
the repetition of 'every'.
Blake goes on in the third stanza to comment ok the use of child labour under appalling conditions,
attacking the church as it ignores the cries of the chimney sweep. He is disgusted with this practice
and appeals against it and effectively shows the church to be appalled by the cries of the
complaining chimney sweeps. He describes the church as 'blackening', which illustrates the
industrialisation of the church. Just as he contrasts the chimney sweeps with the indifferent church,
he contrasts the soldiers sent out to die, while the palace pays no attention – 'the hapless soldier's
sigh runs in blood down palace walls.' This is a literal allegory for the French Revolution taking
place at the time, where Blake suggests that if the 'palace' ignores the dries of the people a far

Atmospheric Pollution During The 20th Century
From young to old, rich to poor, male to female, air is the most fundamental part of human
existence. One can survive days without food and water, but one cannot typically survive more than
a mere minute without air. A writer at The Times in 1881 poignantly said, "the air we receive at our
birth and resign only when we die is the first necessity of our existence" (Harrop, 2002, p.1). In the
following, I will discuss the responses to atmospheric pollution in Britain during the 20th century
and how those responses formed the basis for government intervention and legislation in the
regulation and prevention of future pollution catastrophes. Air pollution is not a modern concept
confined to the twentieth century or to the industrial ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
While this was the start of a long, hard fight to improve the quality of air and subsequent health,
productivity, and prosperity of Britain, the bill was only met with moderate success (Scarrow, 1972,
p.268). Fog was simply viewed as the byproduct of industrialization, forward progress, and wealth
and therefore for the next 100 plus years, and between two world wars, there was relatively limited
and predominantly ineffective public action.
No greater was there a year for the environmental movement than in 1952. It was this week in the
middle of December that changed the course of British history. "On Friday night an unusually nasty
fog descended on the city. On Monday the fog was as thick as ever... At Sadlers Wells theater the
opera La Traviata had to be abandoned after the first act because the audience could not see the
stage" (Ashby and Anderson, 1981, p.104). While Londoners had been accustomed to extreme fog
descending on their city, this was just the beginning of a crisis like no other. During that week, more
than 4,000 people died: mothers lost daughters, sons lost fathers, and families lost loved ones. Not

There are many things that must be taken into account when making these decisions. Considerations
must be taken of the wishes and feelings of the service user, any beliefs or values that the service
user may hold; such as Marys religious beliefs and also the information given by carers or family
that know the service user well (Brammer; 2010, 483). In this case the decision made is for her to go
to a residential home that is nearer to her daughter so that she is able to see her regularly; this is a
catholic home which would suit Mary's religious beliefs.
For a carer or professional to decide whether or not someone who lacks capacity should go into a
residential home, the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), is used to ensure that this decision
is lawful. This is introduced in the MCA 2005 and in this case Mary is unable to make reasonable
decisions regarding her welfare due to her lack of capacity (Johns, 2009, 35–36). However, the
decision to place Mary in a residential home is depriving her of her liberty which is a basic human
right, as stated in the Human Rights Act 1989. The DoLS legislation allows carers and/or

information may be derived from instrumental judgements of the police. An instrumental
perspective suggests that when the police do effectively protect particular communities, and when
outcomes (e.g. quality of service, availability of aid) are not equally distributed, these communities

Case Study Of Legal Facts: Kelo V. City Of New London

In the Kelo case, Legal Reasoning was prevalent in application of law to the outcome of the
decision. Justice Stevens followed the guidelines that it was the courts duty to determine the wisdom
of the government's attempt to exercise eminent domain, and that the court should not allow its
decision to be deviated by the hardship that one might incur when unwillingly relinquishing their
home or property. The large media influence on the Kelo strengthened the importance of Legal
Reasoning even more. The court found it necessary to remove all emotions involved in listening
about an individual that was about to lose the home that they had lived in their entire life and make a
decision that would be for the better good of the people.
In addition, Case Law Reasoning was used to determine the outcome. Case Law Reasoning is when
courts take prior cases, also known as precedents, and apply these cases to guide in the decision
making processes. This application of taking prior cases to assist in the conclusion of current cases
is known as stare decisis. Because case facts often vary, several cases are usually brought up to
expand and make it possible to have a factual determination. In addition, several cases are brought

proactive strategy in over thirty years to deal specifically with the planning and development of
London. Since an increase in London's population by 800,000 is expected by the year 2020 , the
mayor has suggested the construction of high–rise buildings as the method most likely to enable
London to grow in a controlled and steady manner and maintain its status as a world city. A key part
of the plan, the mayor's proposal for high–density towers throughout the city, has heightened the

Paul's cathedral . Claims such as these have held together London's existing developmental plan, the
Views Policy, which is for the large part unorganized and reactive; the plan dictates where tall
buildings should not be placed rather than where they could best be placed, which has resulted in
London's fragmented and uneven skyline . Thus far, the plan has served these groups well and they
have effectively prevented the construction of tall buildings that could potentially obstruct views of
London landmarks.
In place of tall, high–density towers, suggestions have been made by some heritage groups for the
construction of a greater number of smaller and more compact high–density buildings. Even though
smaller buildings would help to preserve the views of London's major landmarks, they would not be
built in the best interest of the city. Since there is a lack of available land in the city and low rise,
high–density complexes require more land than tall, high–density towers, the only way to construct
these developments would be to expand outward. An outward expansion would not only be
expensive, requiring a development of infrastructure in those areas strong enough to support new
businesses, but almost entirely impractical due to London's poor transport system. Even though half

Edwards & Wajcman (2005) describe globalization to be a process of increasing economic
integration of national economic systems. This has benefited and negatively impacted the UK

hand, the connectedness of the UK economy puts it as risk. The first global economic crisis was
triggered by the Yom Kippur War, followed by the collapse of the Japanese economy and dot–com
bubble burst led to a global recession (Robinson 2006). These events were later dwarfed by the
global financial crisis in 2008, from which the UK economy is still struggling to recover.

Healthcare Inequality in the United Kingdom

advanced and financially able countries in the European Union and the world. According to
economic scale, the UK has the sixth largest economy (by GDP) in the world and the third ranked
economy in the European Union (behind only Germany and France). However, the united kingdom
has some of the largest healthcare inequalities in all of the EU. A recent study by the House of
Commons Health Committee (2009) found that infant mortality was 2.9 times greater among
unskilled workers as compared to professional workers. This gap is further magnified when it comes
to access to healthcare for all age groups and evaluating based on certain types of chronic conditions
which shorten one's lifespan (The Health Foundation, 2012). The fact that there are still inequalities
that are this great in an advanced, industrial society are telling of the problems that exist within the
national system. Since healthcare is supposed to be available to all, it would seem that questions
such as access would have already been answered long ago. However, the national government has

The Legal Position And Right Of Residents

The legal position and right of residents in different tenures vary considerably. Both owner
occupiers and social renters have significant legal rights that are not usually available to tenants in
the PRS (Tenure Trends in the UK Housing System, 2010).
As mentioned previously, at about the start of the 20th century during the First World War, rent
controls were put in place to limit the initial rent that a landlord could charge as well as any
subsequent increase in response to housing shortages. The Rents Act 1915 was passed to provide
security of tenure and to restrict rents in the PRS and remained in play for most of the 20th century.

Though around the middle of the 20th century where security of tenure was still strong in the PRS,
there were scurrilous landlords that would evict tenants unlawfully, a prime example being Peter
Rachman, he was known for his exploitation and intimidation of his tenants. In response to the
Rachman scandal the Eviction Act 1964 was passed in an attempt to deal with similar problems.
The PRS underwent a mini revival during the 1990s due to a combinations of factors, such as
changes to tenancy arrangement in the 1988 and 1996 Housing acts, the availability of housing
benefits and the state of home owning market (Stuart Lowe, 2004).
With the introduction of the Assured Short hold Tenancy (AST) in the Housing Act 1988, granted
the landlord the right to guaranteed possession after the initial six month period, in other words
giving landlords stronger rights. The Housing Act 1996 furthered strengthened a landlord's position
by making AST the default tenancy except expressed. The Act defines several criteria for an AST to
be set up e.g. the property must be set as separate accommodation, the property must be the tenant's
main home, the tenant should be an individual, thus there are uncertainties that the AST's lack of

generally no more than 10% recycled asphalt (Highways Magazine, 2016).
This trial is being carried out on three lanes on a stretch of the A1 at Mill Hill in North London on
the strategic road network. The asphalt with the high recycled content is being monitored against
primary aggregate asphalts and it is hoped that the results of the trial will allay fears over the long
term durability and skid resistance of high recycled content asphalts. Subject to favourable results,
TfL would like to implement this sustainable method across the highway network which could aid

Social Work and Adult Health Care Essay
Introduction
Social work is a service that provides 'universalist services outside the market on the principle of
need' (Titmuss, 1974, p.146). It maintains welfare of the public, and its basic role in adult social care
is to focus on individuals, families and communities, and to ensure their well–being. By doing so,
social workers improve quality of life, and serve for betterment of the whole community, thus
enabling a social change. Today, much of these social work services is guaranteed by social policies
and laws, which ensure delivery of social care to different individuals. However, there are
significant drawbacks in social work practice, and issues that need to be addressed by the public and
by social workers themselves. This essay ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It also operates on a larger scale by educating, 'engaging in social and political action to impact
social policy' (The International Federation of Social Workers, 2014, p.n.g.), and by involving the
right people and organisations. A legal framework for these services is based on the Health and
Community Care Act 1990 and the Health and Social Care Act 2012. These acts define rights and
responsibilities for social workers in adult social care and associated services. They state that local
authorities are in charge of social care provisions, having relevant services at hand, and supplying
adequate support (Department of Health, 2010). Section 47(1) of the Health and Community Care
Act 1990 requires councils to provide assessment for potential social care and support, and to
provide a suitable service to eligible individuals, according to section 4 of the Disabled Persons Act
1986. This shift in power from central to local authorities creates a market, where NHS trusts and
other organisations provide services, and the local authorities choose and market these from their
budgets. The councils are 'set free to run innovative local schemes and build local networks of
support' (Department of Health, 2010, p.4).Thus, this legislative emphasises community and home
care, where carers and patients can work together. In other words, the government encourages
councils and their social work departments to be independent of any state bureaucracy, and to
explore their

Housing Tenure Research Paper
Tenure describes the legal status of and the rights associated with different forms of housing
ownership and occupancy (Mullins & Murie, 2006). There are three categories of housing tenure,
which are home–ownership, private rent and social rent. Home–ownership is the households that
live in a home they owned. The home–ownership tenure includes home that is owned outright,
where the owner has paid off their mortgage and own their home without qualification, and bought
with a mortgage, where mortgagors have taken out mortgage to help purchase their home that repaid
over a period of 20 years or more and are still in the process of repaying the debt. The lender will

  • 1. A Brief Note On Subsidies Policy For Public Transport An analysis of subsidies policy for public transport in UK "subsidy means money given as part of the cost of something, to help or encourge it to happen" (cambridge dictionary, 2015). In transport,.. Main Body Organisation and Policy Glaitser et al (2006) stated In Great Britain, Department for Transport responsible to include posts covering public transport, transport in London, roads and traffic national policy and aviation and shipping or logistic.

  • 2. To Build A Fire And The Open Boat Analysis Individualistic Naturalism in "To Build a Fire" and "The Open Boat" It is no surprise that the country descended from immigrants values the potential of the individual to build their place in the world. American individualism is at the root of the American dream, American capitalism, and American literature. This is perhaps less obvious in works based on the principles of science and not character or society. Naturalism's relationship with individualism is embedded in its existence as the story of man versus nature, human determination to survive, and authors' transcendent portraits of being. In "To Build a Fire", Jack London creates an American character whose belief in his ability to complete a journey alone results in his death. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Even as London draws a pessimistic conclusion where the unyielding powers of natural laws overcome the individual, he undercuts determinism with the upshot of the man's dog and friends surviving past the end of the story. With the last lines, London narrates an image of "stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky" (639). He describes an indifferent and cruelly beautiful universe of hard science but then incorporates a promise of the continued existence of human life, of "food providers and fire providers" (639) who were smart enough to protect themselves from the extreme cold. The strong narrative of naturalism and pessimistic determinism in "To Build a Fire" does not exclude the presence of hope and beauty. This short story about a man dying alone in the incredibly cold tundra suggests that though an individual man's place in the universe is worthless, humanity will transcend and persist. Stephen Crane also draws on hope and transcendentalism to describe the strength of man in his battle to survive against nature. There are four men in "The Open Boat," yet when the correspondent rows alone at night he doesn't feel the "subtle brotherhood of men" (587), but that "he was the one man afloat on all the oceans" (594). Crane's adherence to naturalism shows in the correspondent's desire to communicate with a personification of nature, the great antagonist. In response–like London's dancing stars–the "high cold star on a winter's night" (595) responds ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Geo World Cities Economic and Cultural Authority Essay Question: Demonstrate why world cities are powerful centres of economic and cultural authority A world city is a large city that has been outstripped its natural urban network and become part of an international global system. World cities have become the central connecting point for the multiplicity of linkages and interconnections that sustain the contemporary world economy, and its social and political systems. According to the 2004 GaWC studies world cities can be ranked based on their provision of 'advanced producer services' such as accountancy, advertising, finance and law. In 2008 the rankings according to the GaWC determined that London and New York were Alpha ++ cities whilst Sydney, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore were Alpha ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Hence, world cities influence the flow of both finance and investment throughout the world thus resulting in economic authority. World cities are markets for a vast range of goods and services as they are areas of massive accumulations of wealth and have extraordinary purchasing power. The importance of these cities as markets is shown by patterns of concentrated retailing in high–order consumer goods, such as clothing, jewellery, and art. Streets such as Fifth Avenue in New York are famous for their retailing of very expensive goods. Cultural Authority World cities are centres for a range of cultural facilities and world entertainment. They have theatres, opera houses, large entertainment. They host major cultural and sporting events ranging from art exhibitions to tennis tournaments. The 2008 Beijing Olympics and Fifa's world cup in Munich both were viewed by over a billion people worldwide. New York for example has a very strong cultural authority with the New York Times reporting that in 2010 48.7 million people visited New York spending $31 billion, which is almost 7% increase when compared to the 45 million in 2009. New York is home to a range of museums such as the museum of modern art and the Guggenheim, Broadway, famous universities such as Colombia and NYU, and centres for the arts such as the Julliard School and Lincon centre.

  • 4. The Quality Of Air Environment And Health Of The Great London 1. Introduction 1.1. Background The quality of air is a very important factor in projecting, representing and monitoring the status of environment and health of the Great London. It is known that the Great London has a name of 'foggy city' since the severe air pollution event during December 1952 (?). Even though the air status has been improved in a large degree in the recent years, atmospheric pollutant monitoring should be never ignored, and should advance the measured technology and data model. The present model is supported with GIS that use a geographic dimension to express the air quality information. The geographical model is built by relating the actual pollution concentrations to the physical characteristics of the pollution such ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The projects are designed with the following objectives: 1) The value of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are vividly represented in various urban places across the Great London. 2) The value change of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are effectively visualized with temporal variation. 3) The emission inventories are efficiently connected with the nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 values to monitor the emission sources. 4) The atmospheric pollution model are completely built across the Great London. 1.3. Information required The most important aspect of modelling air pollution during temporal and spatial change is the pollutants content which could stand for the air quality. For instance, the concentration of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and SO2 are used as the indicator of air pollution in this project. Model maps are needed, for example, by identifying pollution 'hot–spots', to show the distribution of air pollutant in spatial patterns, and to provide further estimates of human health conditions. Another product is the graph showed the temporal change of air pollution. This project should use the traditional way that makes the multiple line graphs for presenting the temporal trends in different locations on a GIS map, since the multi temporal dimensions of ...

However, the rules of the game have changed considerably over time. Whereas in the first instance a gross cost regime was used to let just a part of the network to public sector operators, in recent years the whole of the network has been let in ...

To complete the process, the Tendered Bus Division started to let competitive net cost contracts alongside competitive gross cost contracts, the aim being to use the type of contract in any particular case which delivered the best value for money and incentivised operators to improve service quality. As of June 1999, only gross cost contracts have been offered. Impacts of tendering London Transport Buses (1999) claims "a dramatic improvement" in both the quality of bus services provided and the value for money achieved.

  • 7. Milgram’s Study of Obedience to Authority Introduction: This essay will outline Milgram's experiment of obedience and outline ethical issues relating to it. Before outlining Milgram's experiment this essay will look at Milgram himself. 'Stanley Milgram was born in New York in 1933. A graduate of Queens College and Harvard University, he taught social psychology at Yale and Harvard Universities before become a Distinguished Professor at the Graduate Centre of the City University Of New York.' (Zimbardo, 2010) Milgram's study of obedience was an experiment that looked at how 'ordinary citizens obey the orders of an authority figure if those orders meant physically harming an innocent person' (Milgram, 1974). He conducted '18 studies between 1960 and 1963' so that he then could examine whether people would obey authority figures that involved giving innocent people electrical shocks of up to 450 volts. One of the studies was based on '40 men, ranging from 20 to 50 and representing a cross section of occupations and educational roles in the USA.' (Milgram, 1974). This study involved three people a learner, a teacher and an administrator. Milgram (1974) states that 'each participant meet a middle aged man who was introduced as another participant but was actually a confederate'. The Learner and the teacher roles were taught by the participant to be chosen at random but it was rigged as the learner role was a confederate.

  • 8. The reform of the British constitution remains unfinished... In this essay, I would like to analyse why the reform of the British constitution is seen as unfinished business. Constitutional reform is when the system of government and how government institutions interact is changed. This has also meant the codification of some components of the constitution in the UK. Between 1997 and 2007, there were a considerable number of constitutional reforms introduced by the Blair governments. These reforms included devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, decentralisation, reform of the House of Lords and Commons, creations of new legislation granting greater freedom and rights within the UK, and so on. However, some of them are yet to be accomplished or in progress related to the electoral and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Until now, the content of the constitutional reform has not covered any electoral reform yet as the constitution was prone to manipulation by single–party governments. The reform of the Human Rights Act can illustrate that the constitutional reform did not go far enough. In 1998, the Blair government announced that the citizens ' rights would be safeguarded and strengthened through incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law. However, this created a problem as the UK now has two sets of rights – those built up under Common Law and those in the Human Rights Act. These two sets of rights may conflict and, in addition, cases can be taken using these rights to both the UK Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights (which is the supreme court for the European Convention on Human Rights). The UK judiciary is divided on how to resolve this issue. The centrepiece of Labour 's programme of constitutional reform was undoubtedly devolution. This was achieved with remarkably few problems. There now seems no likelihood that the new arrangements could be reversed, even by a Conservative administration. The election on 6 May 1999 of a Parliament in Scotland, with extensive powers of primary legislation as well as tax– raising, and an Assembly in Wales, with powers of secondary legislation only, will have a profound impact on governance within the UK.

  • 9. Naturalism As A Genre Of Naturalism Naturalism as a genre depicts commonplace happenings dictated by powers larger than humans, such as nature or society. As Phillip Barrish puts it, "Literary works ... traditionally identified with naturalism depict characters whose lives are controlled or 'determined' by immense, impersonal forces that the characters themselves can barely understand, let alone effectively resist" (116). Obviously, not all naturalist literature is created equal; different authors choose to focus on different aspects of the genre. Specifically, this study will be exploring the differences between divergent interpretations of naturalism: the first, a story controlled by the forces of nature, and, the second, a story manipulated by the power of societal structures. First, let's take a closer look at these two branches of naturalism. The naturalism based in nature involves both the nature of the human body, including things such as hunger and death, and the influences of the natural world itself, such as hurricanes and snowstorms. This varies significantly from the form of naturalism that roots itself in the authorities of society such as the economy and social class limitations. While these two subdivisions of naturalism are perceivably unique from one another, Barrish explains that "naturalist writers frequently blur together the natural and social orders" (116). That is to say, there is a fine line between the two that is repeatedly smudged by authors. Jack London's "To Build a Fire" and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The shortage of burial space in the capital is reaching a critical stage in many of its 32 boroughs. Data shows that the majority of them currently lack the capacity to supply enough graves to meet the level of demand suggested by mortality projections over the next two decades.

However, Council spokesman John Wade, said the local authority does not currently reuse graves but may in the future. A similar scheme is already in place in the City of London, Cemetery & Crematorium, where more than 1,500 graves have been reused. The 161–year–old cemetery was on the verge of running out of space when officials decided to begin reusing graves in 2009. It has proven to be a popular choice, with over 60 per cent of burials there now in reused graves. Trevor Davis, Westminster cemeteries manager, believes the most effective way to stop cemeteries from overflowing is by reusing graves. He said: "New graves can continue to be developed on an indefinite basis as required through overfill/overvaulting and through reuse." To avoid reusing graves, some cemeteries in London have "created" new burial plots. A Greater London Authority audit from 2010 reported that Brockley & Ladywell Cemetery in Lewisham "found" new burial space by demolishing chapels and clearing land. Even so, the entire authority of Lewisham will run out of spaces at its four cemeteries in between eight and 10 years, said Council spokeswoman Alison Beck.

  • 11. Why Was The Stamp Act Created When the Stamp Act was created, it was because of the broken or leaky trade system between the Europeans and the Colonists. Their was a lot of smuggling that went on throughout the system. Many of the officers that should have been preventing these actions, just accepted bribes or just didn't stop what was going on. Even though the system pretty much worked because everyone profited, the British Parliament wanted to tighten its grasp on the trade by punishing the colonists, thus The Stamp Act was born. The Stamp Act created out cry that would eventually lead to a better, more unified colony which would evolve into the United States The Stamp Act was created in 1765 by the Parliament of Great Britain. It directed a tax toward the colonists as a result of the disregard for the rules of trade. It required almost every kind of document to be printed on paper that was created in London that had a revenue stand put on it. The kinds of documents that were stamped were things like legal documents, playing cards, newspapers, and many other types of papers.

  • 12. Ethnicity Creates Inequality in the Labor Market In my opinion, the various kind of ethnicity in London creates some inequality in labour market and health. The ethnicity is de1fined as a process of self–definition arising from inside a group. A way in which individuals define their personal identity and a type of social stratification that emerges when people form groups based on their real or perceived origins. (Dictionary of Human Geography, 5th Edition). Firstly, the inequality in minority ethnicity group labour market is one significant existing factor of London's socially inequality. There were a large amount of migrant from Africa, Pakistan, India and south Asia from 1950s to 1970s. It might be a result of British colonisation in some Asian and African countries. It provides a convenience for those residents in the colony to come to England and worked. However, most of them didn't accept higher education or some skill training; therefore they could only do the unskilled, manual and low–paid jobs which the local British residents no longer wanted to do. After few decades' development, the working and living condition of minority ethnicity group is well developed and getting more optimistic, they gradually get higher paid jobs and the working environment is becoming better as well.

The United Kingdom consists of four countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. As the UK is a unitary state, the main power is centralised at Westminster. However, since 1997, power has been devolved to five different areas; the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly, the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Greater London Assembly and elected mayors in a number of cities, such as London.

This therefore brings power closer to the Scottish people, through the Scottish Parliament, but in hand it takes power away from the English people. This may be because there is no purely English devolved body in comparison to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly. Power is also brought closer to the people as devolved bodies can hold referendums; however, on the other hand, they are limited on what they can hold referendums about. On the other hand, devolution had failed to resolve the problem of voter apathy, for example, barely 1 in 4 of the electorate voted in favour of the Welsh Assembly. The use of PR in the devolved assemblies has weakened the link between elected representatives and their constituents. The Conservatives argue that devolution has undermined the unity of the UK, and some argue that the Barnett formula is too generous towards the Scottish. Also, most importantly, it is argued that devolution raised the problematic West Lothian question. Devolution has not brought power closer to the people in that regional councils only have limited power and are 'tokenistic'.

In most instances that are provided in the text, he only takes away the lives of those who are in his opinion, the cause of London's corrupt government. However, a few may argue that because V was a victim of the government, that his motives behind choosing the lives that are taken are purely for his personal revenge, instead of for the greater good of the people– but this is not the case. For instance, when V makes a replica of a prison to torture Evey, his intentions are to help her understand the system that the government created(Lloyd)Many oppose the idea of V helping Evey due to the torture that he forced her to endure, and believe that V's intentions were purely to brainwash her in order to manipulate and use her to his advantage in his scheme to terrorize the government. Although this reason is valid, nevertheless, it can be argued that the freedom fighter simply did not have a choice, if he was truly going to make a difference in the government; apart from having to instill fear in the government he had to expose them as well, and part of the process was making sure that if Evey could see the truth– so could everyone else. A credible source on the other hand, agrees that terrorism occurs when civilians are killed in the crossfire, a man named Michael Burnett. In the article, "How Do You Define Terrorism?" Oliver Libaw interviews, Burnett, a political science professor from the University of Wisconsin argues that V, a man that destructed government property could be portrayed as a terrorist to the government, but is in fact an actual hero trying to save other people.

Another benefit to the reforms is that the prime minister appoints members based on their profession, for instance the majority of the life peers that are in the house of lords are lawyers which indicates expertness in the skill of observing, as a result the reformed house of lords frequently defeat government. On the other side you could argue that the reform is still incomplete, and that Tony Blair initial aim when he came to government, was to have a fully elected house of lords, in this case would have been more democratic. Due to elected politicians in the house of lords many appointed members by the Prime Minister are part of his own party which can ais the Prime Minister in decision making which creates worse legitimacy. The second reform of the constitution is the Human Rights Act that was Labour's first major reform, that came in act in 1998.

The rolling green shires and inspiring scenery that was fixed in the earliest memories of the Romantic poets was quickly vanishing. There was a trade off happening. Rivets for rocks, chimney stacks for trees, locomotives for carriages and steal tracks for cobblestone. Piece by piece England's quaint agricultural backdrop was being replaced by a stern industrial one. Progress! Some shouted. The greater good! Others exclaimed. Expansion was becoming virtuous. In droves they came from the country to work in London's factories. The machines ruled the fields now. Farmers turned their plows in for hammers and the way peopled lived was never going to be the same. A new social class was developing in England. It was the working class. And although a wider segment of the population was producing, creating steam for the Empire, certain leading minds of the time had to examine the under–belly of this fiery beast. In William Blake's poems "The Chimney Sweeper" and "London" he does just that. Through this examination Blake dwells on the theme of the loss of innocence.

Furthermore, response times of police are critical when the public requests their assistance as well as the amount of force and presence of police is critical to be met only to neutralize the threat and avoid overkill. Similarly, Peel emphasized the manner of an officer should be that of a quiet and determined rather than a tempered one. As aforementioned, the presence of an officer can affect a situation as well as how trained and qualified the officer is. Nonetheless, Peel incorporated an identifying number for each officer as an identity for the officer and allocated that each police headquarter should be centrally located and easily accessible to the public. Peel further detailed that officers should undergo a probationary period and their records reflect their training, history of their performances as an officer, and possibly holds each officer accountable for all of their actions (Doerner, 2016).

During the time, Italy was a scummy city where the poor lived, but she is able to discover herself while vacationing there. Within Italy, she finds love, adventure and exhilaration that she could never experience in her homeland. In A Room with a View by E. M.

Fog was simply viewed as the byproduct of industrialization, forward progress, and wealth and therefore for the next 100 plus years, and between two world wars, there was relatively limited and predominantly ineffective public action. No greater was there a year for the environmental movement than in 1952. It was this week in the middle of December that changed the course of British history. "On Friday night an unusually nasty fog descended on the city. On Monday the fog was as thick as ever... At Sadlers Wells theater the opera La Traviata had to be abandoned after the first act because the audience could not see the stage" (Ashby and Anderson, 1981, p.104). While Londoners had been accustomed to extreme fog descending on their city, this was just the beginning of a crisis like no other.

To consider the influence of legislation in relation to social care, the case of Mary who has been diagnosed with dementia will be used to explain how legislation is used. Within social work, law is very important as it is used to provide guidance and duties for the local authorities and professionals in how to proceed with a case.

There are many things that must be taken into account when making these decisions. Considerations must be taken of the wishes and feelings of the service user, any beliefs or values that the service user may hold; such as Marys religious beliefs and also the information given by carers or family that know the service user well (Brammer; 2010, 483). In this case the decision made is for her to go to a residential home that is nearer to her daughter so that she is able to see her regularly; this is a catholic home which would suit Mary's religious beliefs. For a carer or professional to decide whether or not someone who lacks capacity should go into a residential home, the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), is used to ensure that this decision is lawful. This is introduced in the MCA 2005 and in this case Mary is unable to make reasonable decisions regarding her welfare due to her lack of capacity (Johns, 2009, 35–36). However, the decision to place Mary in a residential home is depriving her of her liberty which is a basic human right, as stated in the Human Rights Act 1989. The DoLS legislation allows carers and/or professionals to be able to act to ensure that "a care home or hospital only restricts someone's liberty safely and correctly, and that this is done when there is no other way to take care of that ...

In the Kelo case, Legal Reasoning was prevalent in application of law to the outcome of the decision. Justice Stevens followed the guidelines that it was the courts duty to determine the wisdom of the government's attempt to exercise eminent domain, and that the court should not allow its decision to be deviated by the hardship that one might incur when unwillingly relinquishing their home or property. The large media influence on the Kelo strengthened the importance of Legal Reasoning even more. The court found it necessary to remove all emotions involved in listening about an individual that was about to lose the home that they had lived in their entire life and make a decision that would be for the better good of the people. In addition, Case Law Reasoning was used to determine the outcome. Case Law Reasoning is when courts take prior cases, also known as precedents, and apply these cases to guide in the decision making processes. This application of taking prior cases to assist in the conclusion of current cases is known as stare decisis. Because case facts often vary, several cases are usually brought up to expand and make it possible to have a factual determination.

Since an increase in London's population by 800,000 is expected by the year 2020 , the mayor has suggested the construction of high–rise buildings as the method most likely to enable London to grow in a controlled and steady manner and maintain its status as a world city.

Claims such as these have held together London's existing developmental plan, the Views Policy, which is for the large part unorganized and reactive; the plan dictates where tall buildings should not be placed rather than where they could best be placed, which has resulted in London's fragmented and uneven skyline . Thus far, the plan has served these groups well and they have effectively prevented the construction of tall buildings that could potentially obstruct views of London landmarks. In place of tall, high–density towers, suggestions have been made by some heritage groups for the construction of a greater number of smaller and more compact high–density buildings. Even though smaller buildings would help to preserve the views of London's major landmarks, they would not be built in the best interest of the city. Since there is a lack of available land in the city and low rise, high–density complexes require more land than tall, high–density towers, the only way to construct these developments would be to expand outward. An outward expansion would not only be expensive, requiring a development of infrastructure in those areas strong enough to support new businesses, but almost entirely impractical due to London's poor transport system. Even though half a million London workers live in the suburbs and depend on the radial rail system that links them to the center of the city, the system as a whole is expensive, heavily congested and wasteful; it ...

Healthcare Inequality in the United Kingdom Healthcare Inequality and the UK Poor The United Kingdom is one of the most technologically advanced and financially able countries in the European Union and the world. According to economic scale, the UK has the sixth largest economy (by GDP) in the world and the third ranked economy in the European Union (behind only Germany and France). However, the united kingdom has some of the largest healthcare inequalities in all of the EU. A recent study by the House of Commons Health Committee (2009) found that infant mortality was 2.9 times greater among unskilled workers as compared to professional workers. This gap is further magnified when it comes to access to healthcare for all age groups and evaluating based on certain types of chronic conditions which shorten one's lifespan (The Health Foundation, 2012). The fact that there are still inequalities that are this great in an advanced, industrial society are telling of the problems that exist within the national system. Since healthcare is supposed to be available to all, it would seem that questions such as access would have already been answered long ago. However, the national government has tried to fix it as a national problem, in the past, rather than as one which has many different local variables.

In response to the Rachman scandal the Eviction Act 1964 was passed in an attempt to deal with similar problems. The PRS underwent a mini revival during the 1990s due to a combinations of factors, such as changes to tenancy arrangement in the 1988 and 1996 Housing acts, the availability of housing benefits and the state of home owning market (Stuart Lowe, 2004). With the introduction of the Assured Short hold Tenancy (AST) in the Housing Act 1988, granted the landlord the right to guaranteed possession after the initial six month period, in other words giving landlords stronger rights. The Housing Act 1996 furthered strengthened a landlord's position by making AST the default tenancy except expressed. The Act defines several criteria for an AST to be set up e.g. the property must be set as separate accommodation, the property must be the tenant's main home, the tenant should be an individual, thus there are uncertainties that the AST's lack of security creates long–term problems for tenants.

These include FM Conway who provide a wide range of infrastructure services and have worked on high profile projects including the Olympic Park in London and the motorway network. They currently are recycling 100% of road planings which are used to produce low carbon asphalt (FM Conway, 2016). In March 2016, a trial began with FM Conway and Transport for London (TfL) which has been commissioned to try and establish whether or not asphalts with high percentages of reclaimed asphalt can meet adequate durability and skid resistance standards. Currently base mixtures incorporating recycled asphalt have around 50% recycled content while surface courses have generally no more than 10% recycled asphalt (Highways Magazine, 2016). This trial is being carried out on three lanes on a stretch of the A1 at Mill Hill in North London on the strategic road network. The asphalt with the high recycled content is being monitored against primary aggregate asphalts and it is hoped that the results of the trial will allay fears over the long term durability and skid resistance of high recycled content asphalts.

It also operates on a larger scale by educating, 'engaging in social and political action to impact social policy' (The International Federation of Social Workers, 2014, p.n.g.), and by involving the right people and organisations. A legal framework for these services is based on the Health and Community Care Act 1990 and the Health and Social Care Act 2012. These acts define rights and responsibilities for social workers in adult social care and associated services. They state that local authorities are in charge of social care provisions, having relevant services at hand, and supplying adequate support (Department of Health, 2010). Section 47(1) of the Health and Community Care Act 1990 requires councils to provide assessment for potential social care and support, and to provide a suitable service to eligible individuals, according to section 4 of the Disabled Persons Act 1986. This shift in power from central to local authorities creates a market, where NHS trusts and other organisations provide services, and the local authorities choose and market these from their budgets. The councils are 'set free to run innovative local schemes and build local networks of support' (Department of Health, 2010, p.4).Thus, this legislative emphasises community and home care, where carers and patients can work together.
