Articles Comparison.

	The Telegraph	The Sun
Tittle	Public sector pensions strike threatens holiday chaos	Airports warn of strike day chaos
Language	Formal Language	Informal language being used Informal writing for example the use of unnecessary quotations in 2nd,  in the 3rd last paragraphs
Paragraphs	The quote is for trusted source from UK Border Agency (1st paragraph)	The quote is untrusted, from  just spokes man BBA (1st Paragraph)
LENGTH.	Its long enough t explain the situation between the Airport workers and the authorities responsible for their pay.	It is very short that you only get one side of the situation
Evidence and opinion poll.	The Telegraph introduced a poll were the public thinks on how they thought of the strike.	The Sun does not give the reader an expression of opinion, neither does it justify the report with a data sheet i.e graph or a pie chat.
Figures	The Telegraph does give figures to show exactly to the readers how many people will be affected..	It lacks any chats and tables to show exactly how many people are affected.. Chats and graphs could be helpful for the readers.
Language	Its careful and caution with their expression i.e “Passengers have been warned to expect lengthy delays at airports and ferry terminals.”	It is not cautious with the language it uses in on the photo caption i.e” Nightmare ... airports are warning passengers to expect misery on Wednesday
Writers.	The writers are trusted Journalist with their names on the articles.	The Sun relies on staff reporters. Its unprofessional and you cant trust the information since no name given.
Reference.	The paper references the photo by AFP	It does not reference any work for the photo.

Conclusion.

The both papers create an awareness and information about the strike. However The sun try to lean on one side of the story. The Telegraph i s better recommended to any one who want to get true information and right news about the story.  The sun lacks to give a name of the writer which means the information is untrusted.

THE BRITISH COALITION GOVERNMENT.

The British Cabinet.

The current coalition government was formed as a result from the hung parliament which was preceded following a Conservative party win from the election with the most parliamentary seats.  In first time history the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives merged  for a government, (www.parliament.uk) .

The government is headed by the Prime Minister David Cameron. He supervises the working of the Civil service. The prime Minister stated that on 20 May 2010 with Deputy Prime minister Nick Clegg set out the coalition’s programme that was to be implemented through out the five year term in office. To “rebuild the economy, unlock social mobility, mend the political system and give people the power to call the shots over the decisions that affect their lives”, as per article published on www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk. The signing of the agreement also stated that the united agenda shared the same vision. David Cameron quoted, “This is programme for fundamental and comprehensive reform that will transform in our country.......”  But to many British David Cameron and his goverment has failed to deliver what he promised before the elections. The BBC reported that a poll reported that a majority of the U.K citizens they expected more of him.

STEPPING TO THE ZONE.

                                           THE ZONE BEFORE STEPPING IN.

The Map of European Union

European is a political and economical cooperation by 27 Nations in Europe. Formed by just 6 nation in1953 it as grown to a current 27 member state empire within Europe. With a clear objective of stability, peace, prosperity,Raise of leaving standards and a single currency as stated on its website www.europa.eu. With its most central financial operations held in Germany making it  the unions’ power house. With its  economic stumble that is facing in the present time as referred in article on  www.hbr.org by Katherine Bell, Its a choice between a rock and a hard place to make the right decision wether to to join or not to join this Europe “ship” on this shaky tides. This article is going to look at the both sides of the coin and give a short analysis the way forward for the new nations who are yet to join the E.U.

The Euro Currency Symbol.

Having a SIngle Currency in 27 Countries in the world can be the first and the best idea of any economic brain. With Low or Zero Currency exchange risk experienced in the euro zone, Joining to gain this benefit for any country citizen is added advantage to boost Tourism and Trade between the states. as a stated on www.economist.com.

A statistical approach was given by www.un.org and stated that there are 326 million citizens in the union. Expanding this number to use the Euro currency as a reserve to the dollar and other major currencies can be of an added advantage to join the Union.

The rise of conflicts between nations is on the rise, with a bond,a unique connection through same monetary policies and waiving of migration laws, common passport, and single currency can be used as a political approach in creation of peace and stability within nations according to www.un.org .

Inflation digits always being on the raise, London Business School website (www.london.edu) did a snap research between the UK and the E.U in the early 1990s and found out the inflation that UK inflation was rose at 0.76% while the of the E.U rose by 0.35%. Its a solution of proving a solution by keeping inflation on the low. 

  

Economic Meltdown in Greece
led to violence.

With all goodies mentioned on the previous lines, when in or joining the  E.U, Some political analyst on http://blogs.reuters.com suggest that loss of Sovereignty is to complained and addressed. On the grounds of the hardship of a single system laws for the E.U should can not manage the Countries due to their cultural differences and backgrounds i.e some Laws favor one part of the E.U than other. Running the E.U is never a easy task as a document suggest on www.cnn.com.  Administrative nightmare is experienced in running the system in Uniformity.  Economical burden to other states is passed to other nations as www.bbc.com reported during the Greece bail out by Germany.This are the scares that should be considered before a nation Joins the E.U

A membership to the E.U is a mixed blessing as any other merger of corporation’s or bodies.The difficulties comes as the reward comes. Its a give and take situation. Steve Blake was quote by www.brainyquotes.com  that “Globalisation, which benefits only multi-national companies and takes away all sense of local or national pride and identity, is the biggest threat facing all the member states of the EU"  

THE LEARNING – U.K AND KENYA CONNECTION.

                                           THE LEARNING – U.K AND KENYA CONNECTION.

Nairobi school for British

Kenya being a British Colony since 1895-1963 mostly referred as Kenya Colony. Its undoubtedly borrows most of its “white” Culture from Britain. It’s widely visible in a number of aspects like Its First Language (English), Being a Common Wealth Member and fighting for the British government during the Second World War.  Without leaving the education system that majorly Uses English as compulsory Language of Learning in Kenya, it’s the basic common similarity with Britain, thus creating a connection bond between the Two Countries. I am to going show the Similarities and the disconnection of the two Education systems in their given different levels in this article.

Oldest Pupil  Mr
Maruge Kimani and classmates

According to the Ministry of education of Kenya at www.education.go.ke the body that governs the education Matters in Kenya. The government of Kenya passed a law in 1985 that established the 8-4-4 system in Kenya. Which meant that; Eight years of Primary School, Four Years at Secondary school and Four Years at Tertiary College. The Primary school begins at the age of 6 or 7, for most of the people in Kenya.  In a year there is a  3 terms that are divided in to 3 months section each with a 1 moth break between them. The educational year begins in January.The Pupils (Students) Take a maximum of Five Subjects; Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Science and Social Studies. The Narc government in introduced the free primary education as part of 2015 millennium goal. Making the primary Education free, Most of people who could not afford the education became enrolled. Making Mr. Kimani Maruge the oldest Pupil in the World at the age of 78 in the2010 movie based on a true story by BBC films directed by Justin Chudwick.  Most of the pupil proceeds to Secondary school that takes Four years and a tertiary education for another four years. Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) is responsible in setting up National Exams that are taken in the end of the year. www.education.go.ke

 Hemmingfield Ellis Primary School

Un Like in Kenya the Education System is different in many aspects. The lack of a central governing body in the U.K to oversee the education in the UK Makes one of the difference. In  England for instance the education body is controlled by the Department of Education according to www.education.gov.uk. The full time learning is a mandatory for all the Children of ages 16 and below. The educational system in England begins in September 1^st as stated at the website.  The school follows the National Curriculum that consists of 12 Subjects that are required compulsory by to the pupils. The welsh Nation government is responsible in governance of school Curriculum and asses the school educational routine according to an article in their website on www.wales.gov.uk . The Scottish government has the mandate take charge of the education system in Scotland for instance, in the 1980 Act (Education) Scotland; the parliament was given the overall authority in Education system. This can is illustrated at their website at www.scotland.gov.uk. In Ireland the Irish has a body that governs the educational System that is called the North Ireland Executive Department of Education (DENI). The Council for the Curriculum Examination and Assessment (CCEA) is responsible for setting out national exams. Their Curriculum is based on that of England and Wales.

With these in Mind the Main different of lack of a central governing body for education in the UK makes a disconnection between the two countries, as suggested in the article.

   

BRITONS

The Great Britain

 An historic Podcast by the BBC World Service suggested that the people of Great Britain were called the Britons. In a wide believe by many scholars, after the Roman conquest of the 43 AD a Romano-British Culture began evolving.  But at a point given around 5^th Century, the culture and Language of the Britons started to divide with the evidential up to presence time been seen in four (4) different geographical parts namely; England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.  In a recent Study by the, speak english.co.uk, an English Language research website states that at least 95% of the UK people speak English. This case makes a point out that English is the widely spoken language in the Great Britain.

 The government contacted census in 2001 according to direct.gov.uk and in a written report of the data collection is noted that the are 72% Christians, 3% Muslim 1%Hindu, 0.6% Sikh, 0.5% Jewish,0.3% Buddhist and the other religion took the reminder of the population. In this case the government keeps a record of higher population of Britons being Christian’s. 

A  William Shakespeare Play

“I am confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British Heritage”, Alexender McQueen was quoted by www.brainyquotes.com. In these range McQueen has shown a great concern that keeping the British tradition is a lifestyle to a lot of British People, these is where we draw our attention of Culture, Morals, economy, Politics and Religion as well when we think about the British people. However British you maybe, I more British still by Henry James on brainyquotes.com
