These issues were largely manufactured by previous generations of Tsars but ultimately set in stone the downfall by Tsar Nicholas' inability to change.

Functionalist theory is based on the assumption that the needs of the individuals in society reflect the needs of the social system, it assumes homogeneity of interests and the desire to maintain harmony which is not the case, not everyone in a society may want to play a certain sport, and functionalism cannot distinguish whether people actually want to play sport at all.The way the Government wants to promote sport is

The field of ethics, also called moral philosophy, involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Business ethics is the study and evaluation of decision making by businesses according to moral concepts and judgments. Ethical questions range from practical, narrowly defined issues, such as a company's obligation to be honest with its customers, to broader social and philosophical questions, such as a company's responsibility to preserve the environment and protect employee rights.

International student-athletes (ISAs) are one of the quickest developing subpopulations in intercollegiate games, expanding at a rate that is far outpacing the general understudy competitor development in NCAA Division I intercollegiate games. Being a student-athlete, itself, is challenging enough alone, but with the combination of being a student-athlete while also having to adjust to the culture and environment can be challenging for an individual.

It takes two things to begin what may seem like an impossible change process: a push back and a push forward. The only way human resource management can alter the course of the company culture is to push against what may seem like the ordinary. HR managers must forbid the practice of any discriminatory behavior—from the most obvious done by an entry-level employee, to the subtle committed by the CEO. Secondly, they must push forward. Oppression and assembly breeds revolution (Hackman, 2013). If their employees do not feel heard, they will eventually rally themselves. It is better to come alongside and fight the social constructions of gender, race, and so much more (Hackman, 2013

Issues in Law Enforcement Final
The Ferguson Effect
Over the past few years, law enforcement in the United States has become under intense examination from the public for deadly force incidents on unarmed black civilians. On August 9, 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was fatally shot by Officer Daren Wilson in Ferguson, MO. This incident sparked weeks of civil unrest in Ferguson, a Department of Justice investigation into the police department's practices, protests throughout the United States, and enormous coverage by the media (Nix & Pickett, 2017, p. 25) Eventually, Officer Wilson was cleared of federal wrongdoing. This angered a lot of people, not just those in Ferguson

Nations constantly on the verge of war would be required to invest heavily to support their forces and subsequently protect their sovereignty .As the above policies have illustrated, there was a real and present interconnection between Mercantilist theory, policy and the wider political issues of the time. A time in which emerging empires fought for dominance not only at sea or on the battlefield, but through a new economic system the likes of which could never have been imagined by earlier scholastics.

China has expanded basic education for their people by quadrupling its output for college graduates, however by doing this it has created a system that discriminates against its less wealthy and well-connected citizens, preventing social mobility at every step with bureaucratic and financial barriers. One of the main problems is that there’s a huge gap in educational opportunities between students from rural areas and from the cities. Students in rural areas are known as “left-behind children”, and their grandparents take care of them while their parents are working in faraway cities.
