Abstract
United Kingdom Consumer Laws and Consumer criminal Laws are meant to protect consumers against defective and unsafe products and services. They can be invoked if a consumer feels he was taken for a ride and given product or service, which did not meet his needs or was faulty in any sense. We need to understand that certain conditions apply when these laws are made use of to bring charges against a trader. For example, the nature of product or service doesn't count at all but the length of use; special seller instructions, representation of a product etc. play a dominant role in determining the exact nature of breach of contract between the seller and the consumer.

From the Paper
"Eleanor and Nicos needed to purchase a second-hand car and visited Solid Cars for this purpose. There they found a Range Rover, which was being offered for ?2,000. The salesman informed them the original engine of the Rover had been replaced with a reconditioned engine. After initial discussions with the salesman, they agreed to purchase the vehicle through their debit card. The salesman however told them few things, which later proved to be incorrect and caused them several problems during test-drive."

Abstract
This paper outlines the history of mental health law in the UK, identifying a number of key principles of health care economics and ethics, with a focus on the particular incentives and trade-offs that are raised by these principles at three levels of the mental health system: government and society; purchasers and providers; and users and caretakers. The paper then suggests that there is a need to move towards a more open, accountable, and evidence-based mental health care system, which would be fully supported by UK law.

From the Paper
"In the United Kingdom, a debate has surfaced in recent years regarding existing mental health laws . This debate raises important questions about human rights, duty of care, individual responsibility, the nature of mental illness and the purpose of mental health services. The focus of this debate revolves around the libertarian principles of autonomy and self-determination. In basic terms, stakeholders in the debate, including mental health professionals, insurance companies, patients and family members, have varying ideas regarding whether or not we can justify the legalized use of force by mental health services on individuals diagnosed with a mental disorder who have not committed a crime."

Abstract
This paper explains that the close ties between the United States and Great Britain are deeply rooted in common language as well as a long-running and deeply connected historical base of strongly tied economic as well as militaristic cooperation that has spanned since the era of World War II.

From the Paper
"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Voluntary Euthanasia in the United Kingdom, 2004.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper focuses on voluntary euthanasia, euthanasia in which a clearly competent person makes a voluntary request for assistance in dying, which is different from non-voluntary euthanasia because, in this case, a person is either not competent or unable to express a wish about euthanasia. The author points out that many critics believe permitting voluntary euthanasia, which is supported by many people, will lead to permitting non-voluntary euthanasia. The paper states that, in the United Kingdom, physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia is illegal, but euthanasia was legalized in certain circumstances in the Netherlands in 1994, in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1997, and, in November 1997, Oregon voters approved the Death with Dignity Act (DWDA); the United Kingdom also should legalize a humane death.

From the Paper
"Many religious groups oppose euthanasia because it goes against their faiths. Thomas Aquinas documented traditional Christian beliefs on the issue of suicide (Gula, 1997). Suicide was condemned because it harms other people, and because life is the gift of God and can only taken away by God. Muslims, and Jewish are amongst other faiths that believe life is given by God, and can only be taken away by God. One of the other major points made by religious groups is that "God does not send any experience that we cannot handle (p. 145)". For some faith groups, such as the Roman Catholics, "human suffering can have a positive value for the terminally ill and the caregivers"."

Abstract
This paper attempts to trace the history in detail of United Kingdom from the time Britain became the United Kingdom in 1707 to the present. While doing so it looks at the political, social and economic development that took place in the United Kingdom during this time and analyzes how it has got to where it is today. A brief review of the history of Britain prior to 1707 is also included.
From the Paper
"The history of Britain can be traced to the pre-Roman times when Celtic-speaking people inhabited the island. The Celts also settled in the Ireland in 500 BC. Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 50-55 BC but it did not become a Roman Colony until the first century AD when it became the Roman province of Britannia. In the 5th century AD, Nordic tribes invaded Britain pushing the Celtic people into Wales and Scotland. Christianity was introduced in UK in the 6th and seventh century AD and it soon became a major influence. During the 8th and 9th centuries , the Viking armies and the Danes often invaded the coastal areas of Britain and fought with the local armies. In the 9th century, Alfred the Great repelled a Danish army which helped unify England. William of Normandy conquered England in 1066 and ruled as William I (1066-87)."

Abstract
The Islamic banking industry has not been confined to Muslim countries alone but has spread to important finance centers in Europe, the United States of America and the Far East. In contrast to what those in the United Kingdom might consider traditional banking, Islamic banking derives its rules and practices from religious sources. Having recognized this, one should understand that Islamic banking truly is in a developmental stage pertaining to the interaction between Western financial practices, which are based, in large part, on the role of interest, and the dictates of the Qur'an and the Islamic Prophet Mohammed, which together are interpreted to forbid interest.
This study discusses the topic of Islamic banking in the United Kingdom. In this paper, the research problem, objectives, hypothesis and significance of the study are presented. The method and limitations are presented as well, as is a review of the literature and other important information that is necessary for a complete and thorough understanding of the study.

From the Paper
"It is very difficult, still, to find banks that are Shari'a compliant in Western countries. Most of the Islamic 'Banks' are not recognized by the regulating bodies of specific countries and therefore they are not really considered banks by those that are Non-Islamic (Chapra, 1992). The Institute of Islamic Banking and Insurance, however, is aware of the challenges that would be faced by a Shan'a-compliant bank in the Western world (Kuran, 1997). Having to work around the regulations placed on them by a non-Muslim government has been hampering the growth of many Islamic Banks in Non-Islamic nations and has a strong effect on how well these banks can perform (Patrikis, 1996)."

Social Change in the United Kingdom, 2005.

Abstract
This paper argues that any true societal change is marked by interconnected economic, social, technological and political change--each of which are clearly marked by issues of uncertainty, diversity and agency--issues that form the very glue cementing the change into the fabric of society within the United Kingdom and around the world. The author points out that the more "traditional" social changes, which are just as interconnected to the technological change as the political and economic factors, include aspects such as work patterns, leisure patterns, consumer patterns, relationship and family patterns and even health issues.
From the Paper
"In the World Economic Forum notes from the 2000 annual meeting, Prime Minister Tony Blair sought to illustrate the importance of societal change within the United Kingdom as a means of societal advancement. In specific, he called for governments to "match the pace of change currently occurring in the world of information technology and e-commerce." In response, another speaker and representative of Dell offered Blair advice, namely that, "if governments believe e-commerce is important then they should start using it themselves. In this way governments can truly help lead the change needed to transform societies."

Abstract
This essay discusses the legal system in the United Kingdom. It mainly focuses on the difference between barristers and solicitors. It defines the two and gives the names of the courts where each practice. Furthermore, it discusses the push to fuse the two together as it is in the United States, telling the reader the role the Lord Chancellor has played in moving the two professions into one.
From the Paper
"In the United States, attorneys provide legal counsel for those who seek it throughout all stages of the legal system. In the United Kingdom, however, what we consider attorneys are divided into two categories, barristers and solicitors. The two branches of the legal profession, although both doing work that American attorneys would do, serve different functions in the legal system of the United Kingdom. This paper will be used to examine the structure of the legal system in the United Kingdom, stating the differences between barristers and solicitors. Furthermore, I will give an opinion as to whether the legal system of the United Kingdom should be fused into one or left as two distinct professions; I will also state what the Lord Chancellor has done to promote more similarity and overlap between the barrister and solicitor professions."

The Decline of the United Kingdom, 2004.
An analysis of the economic, social, and industrial decline of the United Kingdom.

Abstract
This paper addresses social, industrial, infrastructural, and economic issues that give evidence of growing concern among those who live in the United Kingdom about the real state of the strength of the nation. In this tertiary analysis, there are countless clues as to the real state of affairs that give, at least, some credence to the individual, bound by gross personal debt and afraid for the future. The paper examines why the numbers players continue to call the U.K. one of the strongest nations in the world and whether a general decline in all nations, comparatively, has given the U.K. a shining star for strength only because so many other nations are sinking economically, socially, and industrially.
From the Paper
"Yet, despite the fact that the UK has set historical precedence in the area of crime statistics, the comparative data is still relied upon as an indicator of the nations health. It can be proven without a doubt that international comparisons are mute in a situation where statistics are not congruent, yet they are, another example of the ways in which statistics can cover any problem with a translucent bandage. Critics of the new crime programme find fault in its ability to spin statistics to make the crime rates look as if they are going down when they are clearly not."

Abstract
The United Kingdom has long been revered for its supreme educational structure. The country has always believed that headmasters play a vital role in ensuring that educational institutions provide students with the best instruction possible. More specifically, the Labor Party has initiated a policy of "superheadism". The paper describes the aforementioned initiative and discusses what role it plays in fostering school improvement. In addition, the paper explores other education initiatives that have been wrought by the Labor Party. The likely success or failure of the "superheadism" initiative is presented in the paper.
From the Paper
"According to an article found in the journal, Education, the super head initiative was brought about by the labor party as a response to the educational atmosphere that they inherited from the Tories. When the Labour party came into power, the educational situation in the United Kingdom was in great need of repair (Marshall, 2001). According to the article, teachers' salaries were declining and the overall expenditures for education were also decreasing (Marshall, 2001). The article explains that for this reason Prime Minister Tony Blair named education as a top priority for the labour party (Marshall, 2001). The author also explains that the conditions at many schools were deplorable as teachers were forced to teach in overcrowded classrooms and buildings were falling apart (Marshall, 2001)."
