THE ADVANTAGES AND DISAVANTAGES OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE E.U

According to the Forgein & Commonwealth Office (2012), the British Government will be an active entity in the E.U. As the Forgein Secretary put it, the British government would be,'active and activist, positive and energetic' from the onset.

This implies that the British government will take a staring role alongside their E.U fellows. The aim is to have all European Nations prepared to tackle problems such as business competitveness, green house gases and world wide poverty.

Britain has a new government and a new prime minister to show for it. Aged 43, David Cameron is the youngest prime minister in nearly 200years. It is also the first time in 65years that the Lib Dems have made part of the government. In essence, they are viewed to be stationed somewhere in between the Labour and conservative positions. The Conservatives won more votes and seats than the other parties. In most consistuencies, the Lib Dems come in second. Therefore, it is understandable that they see the electoral system as unfair.Most of the public would also agree with this. These views eventually sufficed in the 'alternative vote' system for future general elections.

In my view, the European Union was initially formed with the aim of minimizing and even abolishing Trade barriers among it's member states. However, with the economic crisis facing some of it's member states it is no surprise that the UK has had it's sights strongly held on a move away from the Union. British tax payers have grown increasingly frustrated with knowing that billions of the taxes they pay go to the E.U. According to Gregory, the UK cannot afford to subsides the other ailing member states by paying billions of pounds each year to the Union(2009).

Education is important in todays fast growing world. Proper employment these days usually translates to proper education nowadays and wanything less may not suffice. In Tanzania, education is given very high importance. However, this emphasis on education is not older than 20years. The UK on the other hand has enjoyed the benefits of a far more advanced education system that has seen them become one of the worlds economic power houses.

The education system in Tanzania is NECTA while the UK uses the Cambridge education system. According to The United Republic of Tanzania National website, children are to be taught in both the national language which is kiswahili and english.

THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN

BBC(June 2009)

In my opinion, the people  of britain doesn't necessarily mean "the people of britain". It's easy to see why when you walk the streets of lets say, london. Diversity is at its' best here as different races such as africans and asians contribute to the population of Britons.

The UK has more immigrants than any of other the big super powers.According to Easton( 2011), more than two thirds of Britons see immigration as "more of a problem than an opportunity". However, the fact that immigrant both legal and illegal play a big role in the economy of Britain.

According to the BBC (3 February, 2011).

I am of opinion that  a more multi-cultural population would help different groups of people be able to better understand and coexist with one another. However, problems due tend to occur when differences arise in aspects such as religion and sexual orientation.
