A speech about why the EU is iconic

The Brexit vote is often the topic of many discussions. It was a referendum that has the potential to make history. Even those who campaigned for a leave vote such as Nigel Farage had ‘absolutely no idea’ what would happen. It has been almost eight months since the vote on the UK’s status in the European Union, at which the country were in favour of leaving by 52% to 48% - but why did 48% of the voting population vote to stay? I wish I owned this The most commonly touched on reason to leave is that of immigration, as many people were fearful that jobs would be stolen and the terror threat level would increase. The truth is: allowing a free movement of people allows for a richer and more diverse culture. People that come from the continent are very important to public services. Many people do not take away from the UK but simply add to it. For example, More than 60% of new migrants from western and southern   Europe , who account for 900,000 of the 2 million who ...

A Level Business Studies - Responding to a fall in industry capacity utilisation

-
Many car manufacturers are expected to respond to a fall in overall capacity utilisation in the industry by cutting prices. To what extent is cutting prices a good way for any business to respond to a fall in the overall capacity utilisation in its industry? Capacity utilisation is the percentage of total capacity that is actually achieved in a period of time. The extent to which cutting prices is a good way for a business to respond to a fall in capacity will depend on the price elasticity. This essay will look at whether it is good for all businesses or not. Cutting prices would lead to the product becoming more accessible. Reducing overall capacity utilisation means that the business will have higher costs as demand is lower; goods being sold will not have their revenue spread across the fixed costs. A Daihatsu car may work to combat this because a car is a luxury product and is price elastic, meaning that demand will change as the price does. A fall in selling price will mean...

A Level Religious Studies - Idiot's Guide to Naturalism

Image
Idiot’s Guide to Naturalism Naturalism is the view that 1.      Ethical terms can be defined or explained using the same ‘natural’ terms we use in maths and science 2.      Morals can be based on the same kind of observation of the world as used in science 3.      All ethical statements can be translated into non-ethical ones Naturalists are absolutists . Morals are not about opinions and points of view and are objectively true . For example: ‘euthanasia is evil’ – they are expressing a moral truth, not an opinion. A person uses their senses and logic to conclude ethical truths. Moral truths are facts like numbers. You can conclude something is wrong from observation and analysis . Moral facts aren’t views or opinions, nor are they based on spiritual or intuitive sense. When you observe something is wrong, it’s a moral fact of the universe. Theological naturalists, like Thomas Aquinas,...
