1.0 Paternity Leave For Men Paternity leave is taken by fathers after the birth of a child. Paternity leave is given to father so that he can spend time with the new-born child and older children, help out at home and giving support to his partner(Peter,2006). A recent research found that fifteen out of twenty-two countries under review have paternity leave which varies from two to ten days and it is usually paid on the same basis as maternity leave(Peter,2006). The country, Iceland, improve its nine months post-natal leave period by dividing equally between fathers and mothers The first nation which offers paid paternity leave in year 1974 is Sweden. The National Labor Market Board stated that men have the right to take responsibility for their children on the same basis as women. Paternity

    Wall Street is evil and corrupt… or at least that's all I hear from news headlines and organizations like Occupy Wall Street. After consistently hearing about corrupt brokers and managers like Bernie Madoff and Jordan Belfort, I began to buy into this facade. I enjoyed following the stock market, but I didn’t want to pursue it as a career out of fear of social repercussions. Last summer, this all changed. A few of my friends and I were awarded a free trip to Washington D.C. for placing fifth in a national stock market competition. While there, my views did a complete one-eighty.…

    Many researchers have examined social cultural impacts of cultural tourism in different destinations with the help of tourism related models. Alhasanat (2008) cited that social cultural impacts are divided into three categories: positive consequences, negative consequences and no real social impacts. For instance, a previous study in Latvia found out the locals there noticed the positive consequences in a friendly and trusty way. In contrary, a study in Botswana found out opposite findings, which shows negative consequences such as increasing prostitution rates and extra use of alcohol by residents. Besides, a study in Hawaii found that the locals did not notice any specific impacts of tourism. However, these previous researches create some areas for improvement. First, most of them conducted research through the locals’ perception but fail to reflect the visitors’ perception on their experience in the cultural villages. Second, the results obtained from a global measure by using tourism theory models would not be always applicable when focus on one particular destination.…
