Rome’s location has less in common with Ancient Pompeii and more in common with Ancient Etruscan cities that like Rome, relied on their access to the sea for trade.

specified enemy nations. Since piracy included an element of robbery, no property legally changed hands as a result of such undertakings. Therefore, English law required that privateer captains present their wartime cargo to Admiralty prize courts, which confirmed the legality of the seizure and took the court’s and the…

The legal external environment, related to the international and national laws, may affect the cruise industry. Cruise companies often try to avoid legal factors such as national taxes and labour laws by registering their organisation and cruise liners in foreign countries with a weak political environment, such as Panama, the Bahamas, and Liberia (Burke, 2009). This is often stated as the ‘flag of convenience’. This frequently results in employees of cruises being underpaid, mistreated and they…

“Blackfish” was very informative for many as the events of Tilikum’s life have never been acknowledged before by Sea World or known well by anyone. “Blackfish” reveals hidden documents and holds interviews with past Sea World employees, as well as the owner of Flipper, a very famous dolphin, who admits that animal captivity is wrong ("Blackfish Official Film Site”).

some parts of present day Spain and the islands of the western Mediterranean Sea (Morey, 1901). Initially Carthage was a colony of Tyre and she got her independence at around 650 BC (Morey, 1901).

people in the Arctic have very little control over what is happening within their environment and the governing bodies in place are not adequately prepared to deal with it. The biggest contender for change is the force driving the quest for oil as the sea ice melts. However, taking a look at recent history, oil companies tend to take the least responsibility when things go wrong in the environment. Specifically looking at the British Petroleum oil spill of 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, spanning 87…
