Given that the export of one country is the import of the other, and that the same two countries might be involved in more than one trade item, the repercussions can be felt more profoundly. (Gwartney, Stroup, Sobel, & MacPherson, 2008 ) Consider the example where Country A exports cotton to country B
d.) According to (Kaempfer, Tower, & Willett, 2002): "Explaining trade protectionism has been one of the most fruitful areas for the application of public choice analysis
That is to say that if country A imposes restriction on goods coming in from country B, B is also going to impose some sanctions on A. (Lipsey & Chrystal, 2007) The reasons for this are simple
Therefore some measures of protectionism are valid and should be allowed to countries without there being any penalizing measures. The notion behind this theory, since earlier day's lies in the fact, that government officials have long been of the opinion, as explained by the following paragraph (Lighthizer, 2008): "For almost 100 years after the Civil War, the Republican Party (led by men like Lincoln and McKinley) was overtly protectionist
What remains to be seen is how they will be able to sustain this advantage in light of the increasingly competitive future and in light of the recessionary trends that are prevalent in the market. (Maunder & Maunder, 1979) In light of these discussions we would like to maintain that as India and China were able to focus on their own economies first, and then opened up when they felt that they were in a position to, similar strategies should be allowed to be followed by other countries of the world
Moreover, Adam Smith, who focused on perfectly competitive economies, also indicated that the costs of free trade outweighed the benefits in that they increased the difficulties and would in turn harm the consumer as companies sought ways to expand their wealth. (Moffatt, n
Introducing free market regimes in such regions and forcing free trade upon them will serve only to deteriorate their domestic industry further and create a balance of payments deficit that can be detrimental to that nation's economic health. (Riley, 2006) Protectionist Theories and Measures Before we go onto discuss the theory of protectionism, it is necessary to understand that although various strategies of imposing protectionists measures are available to governments and to policy-makers the interdependence and nature of trade has become so integrated that protectionist measures imposed by one economy are bond to have retaliatory effects
An economic impact that results out of this is that the licenses are sold to the highest bidders in some countries in order for the government to realize profits. (Wessels, 2000) While the tariff and quotas are apparent and can induce retaliatory measures that may prove harmful for the importing economy, other methods are less obvious and in some cases can be secretly carried out at the benefit of the home country
Furthermore, there should be freedom of religious choices and no religion should influence the legality or illegality of gay marriages because it is not a criminal activity (Hannum 12). For a gay couple, children is not some natural doing of biology, gay couples respect the need of children, which they face and incorporate the search for children into the fulfillment of their joy within the marriage (Case & Briana 172-177)
This makes the issue of gay marriages difficult to accommodate in religious institutions, as it would deter the freedom of knowledge regarding holy marriages. Since religious people consider gay marriages sinful, advocating for their legalization or acceptability is sinful (Edwards 247-261)
Opposite sex marriages and divorce is acceptable in the society with same sex marriages exceptionally condemned because they would reduce the sacred touch aspect of marriages. My interest in the issue of gay marriages is that, I find it intriguing that most countries gang up against same sex marriages but support opposite sex marriages, even in the instance of multiple divorces (Galli 30)
Children may be the result of biological setup, and that is very much agreeable. Nevertheless, the problem comes in place when those children so treasured by the society, do not receive the protection they deserve bringing about the need for adopters (Hannum 12)
Altering laws into accepting gay marriages is very offensive because, the very laws, which govern nations, are described using religious backgrounds. Incorporating aspects, which are unacceptable to religion protectively within the laws, would not be defending the foundation of religion; instead, it would be like an insult to the same religion formulating its presence (Judith 285-291)
It is this interest in getting closure for gay marriages sparking the interest I have in this research. I would love to highlight some of the reasons as to why religion and government under looks gay marriages (Jones 10)
It is the cause of disagreements and confusion faces by the society. This is because, when a child grows without any development of standard family values, it just becomes hard for the child to overgrow the society's expectations when faced with certain situations (Karpel 18)
I do not agree with the fact that legalizing of gay marriages would invalidate marriages of opposite sexes. The countries, which have so far, gone steps ahead and legalized gay marriages, have never faced negativity on opposite sex marriages (MacIntosh, Elke & Heather 79-90)
In most gays, there exists secondary resemblance of opposite sex characteristics like soft voices, on males and cheekbones on females. These are effects of hormonal switches, which make gay marriages inevitable and less deserving of discrimination (Shulman, Gabrielle & Robert 158-181)
These countries already consume more tobacco than the developed countries." (Chapman & Leng, 2004) United States tobacco companies have even had to go as far as litigation through the international court system to open up third world nations' boarders for U
"Even our present population growth was brought on by technology which prevented or cured disease and allowed large gains in food productivity (often by increased use of fertilizers and pesticides, and cruel treatment of farm animals)." (Hanauer) Humans have removed themselves from the natural cycle of life, placing themselves at the top of the food chain and having no natural predators whatsoever
For generations, nations did not try much to change moral issues in other states. According to the research, "realist scholars argued that it was inappropriate for states to consider moral issues in foreign policy" (Allendoefer 2010 p 7)
