Print: $19.10 Download: $12.50 Health promotion, which is different from sickness prevention, is about promoting a state of complete physical, emotional and social well-being for individuals in a community. Thus, it is proper to expect that health promotion efforts are like to result in a happier, contented and more productive community without the burden of excessively high costs associated with a high incidence of mental or physical illness. However, it is important to resort to the right approaches for health promotion because such efforts are culturally sensitive and they must be practical, workable and economical. Health promotion must emphasise both the mental and physical aspects of health, because many physical manifestations of disease have their roots in mental and psychological distress. This brief essay presents an examination of health promotion efforts designed to contain eating disorders, which are physical manifestations arising out of mental and psychological burdens imposed mostly by peers in schools.

Print: $22.10 Download: $15.00 Global warming has become a global issue for concern within the recent past and the impact of such a warming will influence tourism trends. Greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere due to the burning of oil and coal has resulted in a build up of these gasses in the atmosphere that trap solar radiation and increase temperatures around the globe. Thus, tourism contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and it is also influenced by global warming. Higher temperatures will have an impact on both winter and summer tourism because the mountainous regions will become unreliable for winter sports and the beaches are likely to be affected by rising sea levels, heatwaves and storms. Popular tourism destinations will fail to deliver the expected and a few surprises may be in store for the tourists who will want to switch to more convenient destinations, altering existing patterns and trends. This essay presents a discussion about the impact of global climate change on tourism destinations.

Print: $19.10 Download: $12.50 The classic statement of the act of state doctrine had taken root in England as early as 1674 and it was inappropriate for courts of a sovereign state to sit in judgement on acts of other states. Sovereign monarchs in Europe had absolute power and they could do no wrong. Thus, monarchs in Europe were immune from action in domestic courts and reciprocity demanded that they did not interfere in the affairs of other sovereign monarchs. State immunity, which is a creature of international law, developed out of the previously mentioned considerations and a need for interaction between sovereign states, which required reciprocity. This brief essay presents a discussion about state immunity from proceedings alleging jus cogens norms.
