Harsh words that cannot be recalled are spoken in moments of anger or stress. Verbal and physical abuse are as old as human relationships. They are ways of asserting power and maintaining authority, of venting pent-up anger, or, in its meanest occurrences, an explosion of drunken fury. Joe asserts his power over Janie by striking her several ti...

Industrial Action Trade Unions
542 wordsIt is difficult to see how anyone could deny that all workers should have the rights to strike. This is because striking gives workers freedom of speech.

For instance, in the nuclear power industry, any breaches of safety can have tragic consequences. If the employees are exposed to nuclear material, t...
