Alcoholism, and its physical and mental impacts, alter behaviors in the regular drinker which create family-wide disruption and conflict. Previously-important family rituals are shattered, financial problems arise, child neglect occurs, as well as a multitude of possible impacts. This research project identifies alcoholism in the family and the impact on family lifestyle.

One author describes the family structure as one in which specific job roles are assumed by various family members, with one as chief caretaker, another as the family expert, the master distractor, and many other family roles (Cole, 2000: 27). These job descriptions are generally held for long periods of time and work as the foundation of the family structure. In the situation where alcoholism factors into the family dynamic, outcomes of behavioral changes can include domestic violence, marital discord, sexual abuse, suicide, poverty and even medical problems (Athanasiadis, 2003. Cooper, 2001).

The linkage between alcoholism and behavioral changes would explain the wide variety of aforementioned family outcomes as the social dynamic changes. The alcoholic, if they were the traditional caretaker, is suddenly the family member requiring help. The family expert, if acting as the family alcoholic, is suddenly unable to provide the guidance or swift fix-it mentality which the family had come to previously rely on. Marital discourse would be the most obvious outcome of strained spousal relationships if one or the other is unable to receive the rewards of their partner’s job role functions in the family due to altered behaviors.&nbsp.

World Bank is a global source of technical and financial assistance to the third world or developing countries. World Bank is mainly an institution concerned with development whereas the IMF focuses on maintaining orderly payment systems between countries.

Why does Jeffrey Sachs think extreme poverty can be eliminated, and why do the makers of the movie The End of Poverty? disagree with him

He thinks so because, via education and government accountability, poverty can be eliminated. However, the movie End of Poverty disagrees because corruption and poor policies to eradicate poverty do not exists. Poverty eradication demands sound policies and zero tolerance to corruption, which is deficient in many governments. In sum, the government is not committed to eliminating poverty.

In Paul Collier’s The Bottom Billion, what are the “four traps” and how do they keep countries stuck in poverty

The four gaps include human trafficking, lack of education, overpopulation and corruption. These gaps make leaders in developing countries fail to take responsibility for their actions. The four traps drain most governments of the energy required to make progress in development because governments of developing nations tend to have their attention diverted to other things that just affect development negatively. As such, the countries remain contained within the poverty cycle.

According to Collier, why has globalization left the bottom billion behind?

Globalization has destabilized the economies of poor states and uncovered people to harmful competition. Their concern is rational and understandable especially since the gap between the poor and the rich has become more prevalent in recent ages. Poverty can be deliberated in various ways, for instance, relative to a nation’s individual average consumption level or in terms of well being of citizens. Globalization has simply made developed economies better while worsening the economies of developing nations. It has opened the boundaries of developing countries to further exploitation by developed economies, thus the economies of poor states have been left lagging behind.

When the officer was being tried for killing, the jury was told to consider the following verdicts: second degree or involuntary manslaughter. The juror decided to charge him with involuntary manslaughter even after substantial evidence was provided. This kind of judgment also contributes a lot to police officers to become brutal to their citizens.

Even after congress had passed the Violent Control and Law Enforcement Act, they have neglected its responsibility to continuously provide the necessary funds for its enactment. There is no need for the police to keep and criminal records since the legislations can handle this matter. It is quite unfortunate that the legislative department does not hold police officers responsible for their criminal acts and the violation of human rights. When police officers murder innocent citizens in America, they are most of the time charged with involuntary manslaughter. The definition of this term in legal terms is the unlawful killing of a person that was done unintentionally (Alexander, 2005). May states in the world do not even have the proper definition of this term, thus many people go unpunished for the criminal act they have committed. Many people who are brutally murdered by police officers rarely get justice. Even after a police officer is found guilty, his sentence is reduced. Some police officers are even released on parole when current fracas reduces and people have forgotten about the incident.

When the court does not hold police officers accountable for his actions after committing a crime, citizens start demonstrating. The same police officers mishandle the citizens by arresting them in large numbers even if they are holding peaceful demonstrations. The citizens are disconnected from the police officers because of being handled heavily and brutally (Alexander, 2005). Families that are not served with justice after one of them is murdered are mainly the Latino and black Americans. This group of citizens is tortured, beaten and murdered in cold blood by police but no justice is served to them.

Multiculturalism in the United Kingdom has increased rapidly in the past few years due to the continuous immigration of people from developing countries in search of jobs and better education. The rise of the population in the United Kingdom has changed the perspective of multiculturalism. People of Britain and other countries have developed different perceptions of multiculturalism. Some of them believe that multiculturalism expresses the core of modern liberal society whereas others believe that multiculturalism has helped information of an anxious, fragmented nation.

Multiculturalism has become a complex topic for the people of Britain due to mass immigration on one end and the political process associated with multiculturalism on the other end. As per the political process, multiculturalism describes a set of policies that aim at diversity management of different ethnicities. Multicultural policies have become a means of empowerment for minority groups residing in the United Kingdom. This empowerment has not proved to be beneficial for the community leaders however the people have not been benefited entirely. Hence multiculturalism has not proved to be successful in the United Kingdom and the people of Britain have several disputes against the policies initiated towards multiculturalism.

The dissertation will have an introduction with the help of which readers would be educated about the topic. Following the introduction, there would be a Research Question that would signify the research objective. The research question would also help to identify the desired outcome. Following the Research Question, there would be the Literature Review, which would contain details and evidence about Multiculturalism in the United Kingdom. Based on the Literature Review an Analysis would be performed using the Research Methodologies. The Analysis would contain a detailed observation and based on the evidence appropriate&nbsp.findings and outcomes would be obtained.&nbsp.

The traditional family structure, which consisted of a married couple and children, declined after World War II. American families took diverse families, from single parents, stepparents, unmarried partners to same-sex partners and multi-generations. While for Japanese Americans, kinship’s patriarchal pattern changed to a stem pattern of shared responsibility within the partners and inheritance for both sons and daughters. The gender structure of the Philippines, in contrast to that of Japan, Korea, and China, became more egalitarian while kinship became bilateral. The older men from Southeast Asian countries lost their elderly traditional roles by which they were responsible for making important decisions, solve problems, and adjudicate quarrels, etc. Moreover, fathers’ status reduced, as children started being more responsible and started earning. On the other hand, women learned more about their rights and protection from abuse and discovered that they could also provide income to the family by selling their intricate needlework. The concept of extended families prevailed in the Japanese and Chinese cultures, while that of joint families prevailed in Asian-Indian culture. (Asian American Families, n.d.)

The historical causes for this structural change trace back to World War II when the war uncertainty brought many young couples into the circle of marriage, and that too in a rush. When they returned from the war, they started families immediately. As compared to the previous generations, women relatively bore more children and in quicker succession. this turned out to be the single largest generation in the US history, famously known as the ‘baby boom generation.’ Moreover, the couples who had rushed into marriage during the wartime went their separate ways, and the divorce rates considerably inclined during the post-war era (the 1950s to 1960s).

The family breakups forced&nbsp.the children (of the divorced couples) to go through bitter challenges, who grew up questioning the marriage’s worth, which eventually led to the launch of a sexual revolution.
