In What Ways Are the Conflict Between Civilization and Savagery Discussed in Novel “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding?
Full text linkWhen the reader faces first with the beginning of the novel “Lord of the Flies” by
William Golding, may believe mistakenly that this book is a story that is written for children
which tells the story of pack of children crash on a virgin island. It may be seen as the modern
application of the R.M. Ballantyne’s well-known children’s book Coral Island. Even Golding
names his first two major characters as Jack and Ralph in order to strengthen this belief and
resemblance by using apparent names in both stories.
However, the true allegoric and deep meaning cannot be foreseen. Throughout the novel,
reader is pulled in to the virgin island that the pack of boys trying to survive in. As the time
passes, reader is introduced to the real allegoric dilemma of the novel: the dispute between
Civilization and Savagery and how far Savagery can go without civilization.
There occurs my research question. And in the purpose of answering to this research
question throughout my study I will analyze the major impacts, themes and motives that lead us
to the general assumptions. The scope of my investigation will be the decomposition of the novel
in to branches by also focusing on the allegoric elements. Which I will also support with my
secondary sources. Fight for leadership and quest and lust for power plays an important role in
the novel so that I will try to relate my statements with these facts. Also degeneration of
humankind from civilized gentlemen in to wild animals sets the general rhyme of the novel. I
will begin my study with the eloquent quotation from Golding and up to conclusion I will try to
merge theoretical ideas of the novel with the characters and events happened in the book
Negotiating Non-Contention:Civil Recovery and Deferred Prosecution in Response to Transnational Corporate Bribery
No full textWhile corporate bribery is a serious crime, that seriousness is often not reflected in the state’s criminal justice response. Due to a variety of reasons, it is rare that companies are prosecuted in England and Wales for bribery. Over the past decade, two alternative approaches have been relied upon to respond to such crime, reflecting a strategic preference for negotiation, rather than contention, and a sanctioning preference characterised by deferred or non-prosecution. The chapter explores this negotiation of non-contention, seeking to understand its nature and purpose by detailing the use of two non-prosecution based approaches – specifically civil recovery and deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) – towards corporate bribery. For each of these, the chapter will examine how these tools came to the fore of tackling corporate bribery, the advantages/disadvantages of each, and how they are used in practice with reference to leading cases. We conclude by raising the question of whether negotiated non-contention is emerging as the ‘new’ accommodation of corporate bribery

Corruption as a Facilitator of Human Trafficking:Some Key Analytical Issues
No full textThe aim of this chapter is to consider how and why ‘corruption’ facilitates the trafficking of humans into licit and illicit markets in the UK. Research and policy suggest that corrupt practices are central to the trafficking enterprise but there has been little consideration of how this occurs. We review empirical evidence on the dynamics between corruption (specifically bribery) and key trafficking processes (recruitment, transportation and exploitation) to identify likely ‘opportunity structures’ and their facilitative conditions. We argue that by focusing on points of potential interaction in the trafficking process at which bribery can occur, it is possible to identify how and where opportunities for bribery emerge; how these opportunities are realised by actors and where opportunities for intervention arise

A Note on Leigh Hunt, Nicholas Carrington, and The Liberal
No full textPlymouth poet Nicholas Carrington's poem of bon voyage for Leigh Hunt, 'To a Friend, On His Approaching Voyage to Pisa' (1822), marks the beginning of Hunt's journey to join Lord Byron and P. B. Shelley in publishing the Liberal magazine. The poem offers a sidelight on some iconic events of Anglo-Italian Romanticism, and suggest that Carrington's other works deserve more attention than they have so far received.
