Event Planning and Business Entertainment in the U.S. Corporate World

A liberal democracy can survive for a while on institutional strength and widespread agreement. As long as most people are generally satisfied with how things are going (or have made peace with the status quo), it is easy to imagine that something like a social contract will keep things on track. Hamish MacAuley makes a persuasive case that many Canadians came of age politically between the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the 2008 financial crisis, when consensus was widespread and politics seemed optional, thus many chose to stay out. We abandoned democratic governing habits during prosperous times. Instead, we played politics. In response, McGill's Jacob T. Levy advocates for political action that rejects the status quo while also refusing to burn it all down or take our ball and go home. We should participate in politics, even if it is unsatisfying. When the foundations of our democratic structure or the rights of vulnerable people are jeopardized, it makes sense to delegate aut

The Biggest Brazilian Enclave in the United States

The flexin' of rights is handled by the Employment Tribunal and gov agencies, fam. Equally true are peeps having a major role in flexing the enforcement if they feel discriminated and unequally treated. Farm workers who thought they were getting treated unfairly and got fired for no reason couldn't do their job cuz they got hella demotivated by their bosses. They totally flexed their case to their employers and spilled the tea to the CAB. When employers heard that workers spilled the tea about unfairness to the CAB, victimisation totally went down. It's like they had no clue about their work rights, fam.34 They probs dodged courts and tribunals, lol

This concern was like totally noted by Paul Sellers who was like, "The TUC's Commission Vulnerable Employment (CoVE) found that, like, few workers knew their employment rights in detail." 


Workers were like totally struggling because they couldn't easily find advice on their rights, you know? It's like a lot of the UK is just a big "advice desert" with no independent sources of help anywhere to be found. So not cool, man. cOvE OMG, like peeps were totally scared of losing their jobs and not having any job security. But, in Chapter 1, we saw how the Scottish courts and tribunals were all about making sure migrant workers had the same rights as everyone else (The Daily Record, 2 April, 2010). Lit! Makin' an equality claim from cultural cap can be, like, hella hard if there's any discrim practices goin' on. OMG, in the last chapter we totally saw some shady discrimination going down! Anastazja, Zoran, and Paulius were all treated differently just because they tried to speak up about equal opportunities, workplace rights, and accommodation rules. Not cool, fam! They got totally victimized because of that, like, it's so not cool. Discriminatory employment practices are, like, sooo obvious when it comes to Ausra, Anastazja, Raymond, Paulius, Jakub, Grigore, and Daniel. They were totally treated less favourably, ugh. OMG, like in the last chapter, migrants were so bummed out by their lame low skill jobs and the snail-paced career growth because their cultural capital wasn't even recognized. SMH. Their claim from cultural capital was like, hella weak compared to the 'western' cultural capital that's like, universalized and stuff. The vibe is like, there's this whole balance thing going on between being fair and having those basic jobs, you know? And like, migrants have other stuff going on in their lives that's more important than just cultural stuff, and it goes both ways, you feel me? 

The tea is, the legit vibes in the Equality Act 2010 and UK Employment Law don't really do much for migrants' cultural capital, you feel me? 


There gotta be some other ways to flex and protect migrants' cultural clout, ya know? This totally shows how crucial it is to, like, get the bigger picture when it comes to migrant farm workers and all the stuff they go through with their social and cultural changes. One of the visions of the UK's Employment Law32 is to flex on workplace disputes so that workers don't have to deal with unfair treatment, fam. OMG, just so you know, there's, like, this other way to deal with work drama in Scotland without having to go to a boring employment tribunal hearing. Judicial meditation33, aka ADR, is hella lit for cases with a discrimination complaint or a complaint of unfair dismissal. One major issue with this kind of judicial meditation is that it's not that simple to get both parties (claimant and employer) to come together at an initial Case Management Discussion (CMD) and convince them to try and vibe out a meditated solution. BTW, resource constraint is, like, a big factor in deciding which cases will be submitted for judicial mediation. Although judicial meditation helps the parties achieve a solution to their dispute, it's still kinda basic because it doesn't mean employers can't limit their cultural clout, ya know?

The strict and best enforcement has a major vibe on the success of employment rights, ya know?

Cuz of all the law breaches in the last chapter, this migrant farm worker didn't get the solid employment protections they deserved, and their cultural capital wasn't valued equally. Like, the real tea is that it's like, totally impossible for workers to actually flex their legal rights and be like, "Yo, is my cultural clout getting the same respect and protection as non-migrant workers?" Both the farmers/employers and farm workers did not flex and vibe to protect fairness and solve workplace issues. It's like, totally obvious that employment laws were straight up violated all the time. If the enforcement system is hella weak, the law can be easily flexed and seriously undermined cuz laws and rules only matter when they come with some penalties or sanctions, ya feel me? The outcome is employees are discriminated against as they have no ability to flex their employment rights. 

OMG, like how is it even possible that the gov, who's all about equality and stuff, and has it written in the Equality Act 2010 and UK Employment Law, still fails migrant farm workers? SMH. Real talk, the Equality Act 2010 and UK Employment Law can't really keep up with the recognition and protection that migrant farm workers need, ya know? It's not just 'cause the Equality Act 2010 and Employment Law can't even tell the diff between bullying, intimidation, racial harassment and stuff discriminations when someone gets totally clowned on. It's like, the strictest and dopest enforcement and interpretation of what's right from cultural capital with mad restraint and caution, which is, like, hella vague in the Equality Act and UK Employment law, ya know?

Brazil and the USA: A Comparative Look at Urban Life

  National economies are propelled by cities These spaces are attractive to the most productive firms and the most talented workers due to the agglomeration advantages they generate, which are the primary cause for their existence. This environment is conducive to growth and development. Cities promote economic advancement by facilitating the sharing, matching, and learning of individuals and businesses through their high density (DURANTON; PUGA, 2004). Furthermore, Marshall (1890) asserted that ideas are "in the air," which implies that the mere concentration of individuals could result in novel outcomes. The functional role of each city in an urban system is contingent upon its ability to provide more specialized products and services to the surrounding areas (LÖSCH, 1964; CHRISTALLER, 1966). Given that population development enhances the capacity to generate economies of agglomeration and market potential, the centrality level of cities is also correlated with population s

The Biggest Brazilian Community in the USA: A Cultural Hub

To like, stop inflation, the policymakers of the first military government were like, "Yo, let's introduce this sick package that includes: a) cutting government deficits; b) controlling the money flow; and c) adjusting wages based on inflation and productivity. It's gonna be lit, fam! The plan totally flopped on its initial goals - only 10% in '66 - but it did manage to bring down inflation from a crazy 89.9% in '64 to 37.9% in '66 and 26.5% in '67. Furthermore, Figure 3 below flexes a steady drop in inflation rates throughout the economic miracle. By Brazilian standards, the period was like, totally lit in controlling price rises. Which parts of the anti-inflation policies actually stopped inflation tho? The Poli Econ of the Stabilisation Policy wage dropped steadily from 1964 up to 1968 and then kept almost constant throughout the "economic miracle." On the flip side, the "white collar" peeps were totally vibing with the economic bo

The Top Profitable Business Trends in Brazil

OMG, like the private banks were all about reducing credit stuff and focusing on investing in things from the public sector. So lit, right? First, banks like totally shifted credit stuff from private sector to public entities (check out Table 38 below). Second, the foreign currency remunerated deposits in the BACEN (regulated by the Circular Letter 230) became hella popular amongst commercial banks. OMG, in 1978 those deposits were only like 1.6% of the banks' total assets. But then in December 1979 and February 1983, they went cray and increased like six times. By 1983, they were like 9.3% of all the commercial banks' assets. OMG, in 1979, public securities were only, like, 17% of the investments in shares and securities. But in 1983, they were, like, a whopping 80%! Yo, peep Figure 18 up there, it's all about the financialisation of the non-financial corporation market value. Like, a big chunk of those financial investments were totally tied to the value of public bonds c
