At the time the physical geography being taught was geology, and the teaching of political geography required little more than recitation of demographic facts. While the creation of the discipline of geography in England cannot be credited entirely to Mackinder, his controversial presentation to the Royal Geographic Society and the subsequent discussion of it did

clear that this advantage is by no means secure and comes with the price of complete submersion of identity and eventual loss of self. Although European colonialism no longer exists in fact, Cliff explains in her early essays how decolonization did little to collapse a racially segregated power structure within the West Indies, only supplanting a landed white Creole elite with a burgeoning mestizo middle class aiming for “oppressor status” at the expense of darker-skinned Afro-Caribbeans (“If I Could

which the author intended, but that scarcely matters. It is now a truism that as readers we rewrite what we read, making it our own in ways too multifarious and too mysterious to explain in general terms. Crime fiction or romantic novelettes, which say little to minds shaped by Racine and Proust, may provide for others a transposition of experience or opportunities for self-examination and reflection which go beyond the escapist label which is hung around their necks.

The price and the fact that a robbery of a bicycle is relatively easy compared to a car could be a handicap.  Traffic accidents: using a bicycle during the rush hours may be dangerous for users.

it because they expect it. When a product breaks down, they feel betrayed. Remember Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? This has food, water, and shelter on the bottom as basic needs, and self-actualisation near the top. If you don’t have food, you spend little time contemplating your navel. Quality of conformance (defects-food, water, shelter) and quality of design (features-self-actualisation) are related in a similar way. If you have defects in products and workmanship, it really doesn’t matter very much

suppliers are producing a commoditized product, the company will make its purchase decision based mainly on price, which tends to lower costs. On the other hand, if a single supplier is producing something the company has to have, the company will have little leverage to negotiate a better price (Porter, 1980). According to Porter, the suppliers are particularly powerful when: • • • • • • It is dominated by a few companies and is more concentrated than the industry it sells to. It is not obliged to contend
