Paul Andrew Bourne, 2006 ABSTRACT From a religious perspective, the evolution of man is embodied in a natural construction of a God whose function it is to fashion all the physical entities. This process ceases with the explanation of the Supreme Being, a spirit, unfolding his/her artistry in science, technology and biology to create a universe of immense interconnectivity and socio-physical solidarity with man at its pinnacle. He/she molded a man from

© Paul Andrew Bourne 2004 ALBERT EINSTEIN - WAS HE CORRECT . . . ? Introduction Albert Einstein, the renowned physict and pioneer in his contributions of natural phenomena to the natural sciences, in an attempt to display his academic prowess and show the scope of his ‘ideashanal’ made a sweeping position statement on economics that reads "The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my view, the main cause of our evils. Pr

By Paul Andrew Bourne Over the decades, the elitists among us have continued to "scuff" at Creole (Patois) as a language. This is because of its "mediocritic" origin and the social class associated with its usage. In order that finesse is brought to this discourse, a position must be provided on what constitutes a language. In addition, we must be able to comparatively analyze those factors in order to establish whether or not Creole is a language. We need to move this debate beyo

The industrialization of topologies at the time meant that people were migrating from rural to urban areas, and the traditional agents of authority, such as the Church and the landed aristocracy, were lo

Paul Andrew Bourne, M.Sc.; B.Sc. (Hons); Dip. Edu.

They have not offered their clientele the respect of voice on matters of social concerns or po

The issues of trade and the gains thereof are of immense significance to economists, sociologists, political scientists and non-academic alike. Trade directly and profoundly impacts on peoples’ welfare. As such, many proponents in favour of international trade wholesale and blindly ascribe to free trade as they see the gains from trade and the benefits there from as the saviour of participation countries. Many of them do this without

By paul andrew bourne B.Sc. (Hons) Economics and Demography Human development has replaced the classical economists’ conceptualization of development such so that modern economists refer to this construct as including social, political and economic development. Bourne (2004) in a paper titled Development: beyond an economic perspective wrote that: Karl Marx’s theorizing on economic development was interpreted within the construc

By Paul Andrew Bourne; MSc. (candidate), BSc. (Hons) Over the years, God has had two faces. On one instance, he had the heart of mother Theresa; the Red Cross; UNICEF; Father Monsignor Richard Albert and sometimes the Salvation Army. On another occasion, he was a hungry boar with the kindness of intent to maim and mow humans like the Tsunami. Although God is ‘love’, has understanding and knowledge of all things, some mem

Mishkin (2003, pp.11) posits that inflation is a monetary phenomenon. This is created by ‘more money chasing too few goods’. If goods and services are scarce in a particular locality, an increase in money supply will fuel a higher valuation of the same commodities. The reality here is businesses and government are forced to pay higher costs for products. This phenomenon affects the economy. Wilson (1982, pp.118) concurs with Mishkin’s positi
