What is London?

London functions as a subject of study across a wide range of disciplines, including literature, history, urban studies, business, and the social sciences. Its long history as a global capital makes it a productive lens for examining how cities develop culturally, politically, and economically over time. Students in world studies courses are drawn to London because it sits at the intersection of so many academic conversations — empire, modernization, social inequality, artistic production, and governance — making it possible to approach the city from almost any analytical direction.

The papers gathered here reflect that diversity. Some take a literary approach, examining how writers such as Charles Dickens, John Milton, and Andrea Levy represent London and its society in their work, while others use the city as a backdrop for historical analysis, including the impact of World War One. Additional essays focus on business figures like David Ogilvy and architects like Robert Adam, treating London as a professional and creative environment. Still others engage policy and public health questions, analyzing issues such as flood defense planning and health care, which grounds the city in contemporary civic challenges.

A strong essay on London benefits from a clearly scoped thesis that commits to one dimension of the city — literary, historical, architectural, or policy-driven — rather than attempting a broad survey. Evidence drawn from primary sources, whether a novel, a historical event, or a case study of a company or institution, carries the most analytical weight. The most common pitfall is treating London as mere setting rather than as an active force that shapes the people, texts, and systems being examined.

Financial Analysis Mcdonald\'s Like Many

McDonald's like many other companies was affected by the recent global financial crisis, and its revenue and profitability was affected. However, presently, the company has recovered in the last two years. This is very clear when you examine McDonald's from 2007 to 2011. The net income of McDonald's has steadily risen from 2007 to 2011. As shown in its financial report, (see 2011 annual report), in 2007, its net income was $2,395 millions. The following year, its net income increased to $4,313 million, this was followed by a net income of $4,551 in 2009, and then $4,946 million in 2010. In 2011, McDonald's was again on a positive trend posting a net income of $5,503 million. This steady increase in net income shows that the strategies that McDonald's applied following the global crisis were effective and it has been able to maintain if not increasing its market share.

Great Expectations and Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

Both stories, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, are one of escape for their characters. For Oliver, it is escape form his starvation and bondage. For Pip is it escape from his poverty and illiteracy. Both escape into another world. The world of an 'upper class'. Each has a huge number of similitudes as they have dissimilarity. Their greatest similarity is that both describe the miseries of the abused orphaned penniless waif growing up in poor surrounding, Oliver more than Pip. The distinction between both is that whilst Oliver is a description and rendering o poverty and the abuse of societal class discrimination at its worst, Great Expectations journey beyond that and has the mature character reflect on his experiences and discover that perhaps the poor man is no worse off – and often indeed better than the wealthy. In great Expectations it is Pip and the convict who turn out to be the heroes, whilst the upper class gentlemen are parodied. Great Expectation is, therefore, a parody on genteel British society. Both books decry the abuse and injustice of a 'civilized' class system, particularly the injustice that is doled to the most vulnerable members of society. Great Expectations, however, goes beyond in questioning whether the wealthy are indeed better characters than the poor,simple and illiterate and it concludes with a determined 'no.'

Frankenstein and Romanticism

Having long been viewed as peripheral to the study of Romanticism, Frankenstein has been moved to the center. Critics originally tried to assimilate Mary Shelley's novel to patterns already familiar from Romantic poetry. But more recent studies of Frankenstein have led critics to rethink Romanticism in light of Mary Shelley's contribution. Gradually emerging from the shadow of her husband, she is increasingly being recognized as a distinct voice within Romanticism, a distinctly feminine voice within what seems to be a male-dominated movement. The trend of recent studies of Frankenstein has been to view it as a critique of Romanticism, particularly as developed in Percy Shelley's poetry. Critics have argued that Frankenstein is a protest against Romantic titanism, against the masculine aggressiveness that lies concealed beneath the dreams of Romantic idealism.
