In the classic book, Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe, you learn different aspects of postcolonial literature. As you follow this one character, you understand how colonialism destroyed his normal way of living, and the challenges of cultural stereotypes he faced. With postcolonial literature, you learn the devastations Europeans made on unique cultures and the changes they brought to their history, traditions, and even to their religion. When British missionaries came into Igboland, they not only damaged the people living there, but also their land; forest were cut down, many resources were taken, minerals used, and even harsh labor was forced. These countries were stripped and are now poor living in poverty. Europeans just used these people to gain wealth for themselves. Also after and during colonialism, many racist views were formed. Unfortunately, many believed in the lies that were told about the Africans, that they were savages living in darkness, that the white people were supreme, which concluded many to joined the side of the colonizers, rather than the victims of colonizers. However, with postcolonial literature, it tries to obtain both perspectives of each person; not just praising about the European colonizing into Africa and making wealth, but to view the impacts it had on African culture and their economy. In Things Fall Apart, Achebe wanted to express the lies that were told, that Africans had traditions, they had morals and customs, religious practices,
As I near a year of antibiotic treatment in a few days, I’d like to take the time to let everyone know my current health status and what I’ve been doing the past months. At the beginning of January, I had to take a break from antibiotics due to a case of gastroenteritis. Within a week of being off of the antibiotics, I began to feel my Lyme symptoms returning. Migraines, body aches, nausea, fatigue, brainfog, anxiety, extreme anger, and insomnia were just the major symtoms. The symtoms became unbearable, so I began antibiotic treatment once again on February 5th. Since restarting the antibiotics, I have noticed a huge difference in my health. I also began a medical cocktail IV treatment once a week to boost my immune system, along with many
There are a variety of different business structures that comprise the market in the world today. The most common ones found in the business world today are sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. From these you will also find monopolies and oligopolies. Economists assume there are a number of different buyers and sellers in the market which leads to competition which allows prices to change in response to changes in supply and demand.(1) In many industries you there are substitutes for products, so if one type of product becomes too expensive the consumer can choose an alternative product that is cheaper, or one of better quality.
The competitive environment : competition from the industry can impact a company’s strategy and operation. For example if a competitor release a new or similar product that threaten to steal market share, an organization must be ready to change in order to retain its

The organization and characteristics of a specific market where a company operates is referred to as market structure. While markets can basically be classified by their degree of competitiveness and pricing, there are four types of markets i.e. perfect competition, monopolistic competition, monopoly, and oligopoly. In perfect competition markets, many firms are price takers whereas monopolistic competition markets are characterized by the ability of some firms to have market power. In contrast, oligopoly markets are those in which few firms can be price makers while monopoly market is where one firm can be a price maker.
Stage 4 - Companies in this stage have broad analytic capabilities for solving local problems, but not at the organization level. Due to duplication of efforts and lack of appropriate employee skill sets and attitudes, the organization has some work to do to reach this level of analytical maturity. The CEO and executive team are supportive of analytical focus, but are not passionate about competing on this basis.
At least two different organizational structures are identified, described, and compared in terms of their design principles.
Business Taxes also known as corporate tax is imposed by the government on the businesses, which becomes government's income that it uses in development and welfare work (Cope, pg. 19). Corporate tax is an expense for the business but if it is too high the business will be reluctant to pay these taxes this might even increase the chances of tax invasion. Business might also try to shift the taxes incidence on the buyers in the term of high prices, which might give rise to inflation, on the employees in terms of low wages that might make standard of living low, and on the shareholders in terms of low profit causing them to withdraw their investments. Although this all seems not so serious but apart from these private cost on the employees, customers and shareholders it also increases the social cost. When businesses especially ones, which sell goods whose prices elasticity of demand is elastics, cannot increase prices they look for ways to cut down on the quality or the quantity of the product in order to reduce their cost of production and to increase their profits. This decreases incentive to produce and therefore the GDP is affected. In order to cut down on the cost of production they use resources of poor quality, which harms the environment in term of air pollution. Furthermore which burden of high taxes on them they might ignore the necessary laws of disposing of the waste from the factories in a proper way. The dreadful effect of raise In the prices of
