The outcomes of the Chinese civil war coupled with other
coincident occurrences were among the key factors and forces that led the
Nationalist party retreat to Taiwan branching out from the communist government in the mainland China. In the post-Martial law Taiwan, political divisions,
which started flourishing in 1986, paved the way for internal political
struggles outside the KMT for the first time in Taiwan political history.
Polarization has steadily become cogent, and one of the ambitious tasks to the
yet Taiwan’s growing democracy. Taiwanese domestic politics is determined by multiple vicissitudes including cross-Strait relations. Alternatively,
different groups adhere to political viewpoints favoring either unification,
independent and/or status quo. As per the theory, these motions have to deal
with foreign policy of the island directly, simply because trades and
investments alongside diplomatic ties can be determined not only by the group
or individual decision making, but also by the domestic population as well.

The purpose of this research is to examine to what extent the
National Rifle Association (NRA) has an impact on federal and state policies in
the United States of America. The study examined the NRA’s political activities within the last 10 years. The political activities include lobbying methods,
campaign spending, maintenance plans, and bills lobbied at legislative,
executive, and judicial levels.

mission is to promote public safety, train members of law enforcement agencies,
adopt and encourage the shooting sports, and to promote hunter safety. The research results showed that the NRA operates at over $250 million a year, and
most of the money is spent on ads, lobbying, and Political Action Committees.
The research concluded that the primary source of power for the NRA is its 5
million dedicated members. The NRA’s members are engaged in the political arena
and feel passionate about their gun rights.

David Peace and the late Gordon Burn are two British
novelists who have used a mixture of fact and fiction in their works to explore
the nature of fame, celebrity and the media representations of individuals
caught up in events, including investigations into notorious murders. Both Peace and Burn have analysed the case of Peter Sutcliffe, who was found guilty
in 1981 of the brutal murders of thirteen women in the North of England.
Peace’s novels filmed as the Red Riding Trilogy are an excoriating portrayal of
the failings of misogynist and corrupt police officers, which allowed Sutcliffe
to escape arrest.
Burn’s somebody’s Husband Somebody’ Son is a detailed factual
portrait of the community where Sutcliffe spent his life. Peace’s technique combines reportage, stream of consciousness and changing points of views
including the police and the victims to produce an episodic non linear narrative.
The result has been termed Yorkshire noir. The overall effect is to render the
paranoia and fear these crimes created against a backdrop of the late 1970s and
early 1980s. Peace has termed his novels as “fictions of the facts”. This paper
will examine the way that Peace uses his account of Sutcliffe’s crimes and the
huge police manhunt to catch the killer to explore the society that produced
the perpetrator, victims and the police.

In fact, inequality and marginalization are usually at interface
in that they both with interacts and reinforces each other. Religious minority
groups are amongst those who encounter severe exclusion, discrimination and oppression.
In case of Indian Muslims as a religious marginalized community, these two
concepts overlap. However, concern with ‘marginalization’ is relatively recent
and it is imperative to check the development trajectory on the marginalized
groups. As considerable evidence exists, a process of ‘marginalization’ of
minority communities exists in almost all societies and nothing warrants that
the same is not true of Muslims in India to a greater or a lesser degree.
