Colonial Settlements in North America

During the middle Ages, persecution became the main trait of Europe. The individuals were subjects to violence. Governmental and social institutions were set against some groups of people whose social description was different, based on race and religion.

Moore discussed thoroughly the suffering of medieval Europe in The Formation Of A Persecution Society: Power and Deviance In Western Europe 950-1250.

World War I was not caused like most other wars. Airplanes weren't flown into buildings, ships weren't blown up and no one was invaded.

Albert Camus

'Offering everything,' yet 'confirming nothing' are the words Albert Camus used to describe conflicting perspectives. A dense thicket of complication and falsity has always shrouded perspectives, a commodity exploited by the powerful institutions that govern society for individual profit and gain. Such conflicting perspectives, whether it be satirised in the form of the commercial media's journalistic integrity la Barry Levinson's film, Wag the Dog (1997), or the state's totalitarian abuse of the legal system as echoed in Franz Kafka's novel The Trial (1923) and contrasted within W.H. Auden's poem Law Like Love (1939), has led to an alarming message on the representations of perspectives especially when a profit or control-driven intermediary is involved.

A Critique of Linda Colley's Britons

In 1707, the Act of Union completed the political unity of England, Scotland, and Wales, declaring the three very culturally, economically, and politically different regions as Great Britain.

Single European Mobile Market

In reference to the European Internal Market, the EC Treaty set out its four "fundamental freedoms": the free movement of goods, the free movement of services, the freedom of establishment for European Union companies and the free movement of capital.

This may partially be explained by the fact that "unlike goods, services are intangible and are not subject to custom duties"1.
