The basis of this paper examines the impacts of the social, political, and religious movements through a multi-layer study of the Dancing Plague in Strasbourg from the early 1200s through the early 1500s. By analyzing this historic, but rather odd dancing hysteria, these movements created severe forms of depression, stress, and anxiety that ultimately led to high levels of psychosis within the community. The time period studied includes the Bundschuh uprisings and peasantry gains to Strasbourg citizenship, the religious justifications for diseases and the emergence of powerful saints, and the severe hunger strikes which resulted from years of failed crops and abnormal climate changes. This analysis uses several major sermons from Lutheran theologians such as Matthà ¤us Zell and Martin Bucer, eyewitness reports of those present in Strasbourg before, during, and after the Dancing Plague, and medical reports from Strasbourg physician, Johann Widmann. Likewise, this study challenges the pre-Reformation argument that the Dancing Plague was a form of punishment sent from God, but rather induced by biological and psychological means. The various Strasbourg movements challenged the inequalities and injustices of the Church towards the peasantry, which created severe and impossible living conditions for the peasantry. This in turn, resulted in approximately four hundred citizens dancing feverishly in the streets of Strasbourg in the summer of 1518. Located on the southeastern border of the Holy Roman Empire, Strasbourg, flourished as a major agricultural market and transportation center. The region’s landscape provided equilibrium between the two most important natural resources: grain and wine. The plains abundantly provided the city wi... ...areas designated specifically within the city and were barred from wearing luxurious accessories. Likewise, gamblers were forced to entertain themselves with card and dice players in gambling dens. The crops for the following year improved dramatically, which reinforced the belief that the city was divinely rewarded for purifying the city. However, the excitement was short-lived as Europe became introduced to syphilis. The first acknowledged record of the reported disease was on February 22, 1495 during King Charles VIII invasion of Naples. Syphilis crept into Strasbourg through mercenary pike men, or Landsknechts, on return from the Italian wars and came in contact with Spanish troops who had sexual relations with prostitutes. In the spring of the same year the executive head of the city, or the Ammsister, reported of having a â€Å"bad pox† unseen before in the city.

Primary Data Collections: In primary data collection method, I interviewed different officers for this purpose.The interviews were not of formal nature but it went along with time and the questions arose with identification of problems. I prepared many questions and discuses with Bank officers asked all the detailed function and procedures of there departments. All officers fully cooperated with me and provided all the necessary information which was required to me. The interviews have been taken from the bank officers and also the discussion was conducted with the heads of different departments. For collecting primary data, I use my own observation an d discuss my problems with previous internees. 1. 5. 2.Secondary Data Collection: The data that are previously collected and assembled for the some projects other than the one at hand.

Chapter 1 Introduction to Report CHAPTER 2 INTRODUCTION TO BANKING† 2. 1 MEANING & ORIGIN OF BANK Some authors are of opinion that the word bank is derived from the word â€Å"Banquet† which means a â€Å"Bench†. This is attributed to the fact that the Jewish transacted the business of money exchange on bench in market place. â€Å"A bank includes a body of person, who carry on the business of banking† or â€Å"a bank may be as an institution dealing mainly in money and credit. It accepts deposits from one class of people at a lower rate of interest and industry for meeting the requirements.This provides finance for successfully carrying on various stages of production as well as distribution. † Moreover, a bank can stimulate the habit of savings amount for the people and provide the security and interest they offer with these savin gs which are deposited by people are in a position to utilize the deposited amount more productively. In short, a bank can increase the transaction capacity of the customers by advancing loans when they require for additional funds to finance their expanded program of business transaction. 2. 2 EVOLUTION OF BANKING Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report According to the banking companies ordinance 1962 â€Å"banking is business that receive investment or lending of deposits of money from public and repayable on demand or otherwise and which draw able by cheque, draw orders or otherwise†. As regards the growth of modern commercial bank, it can be traced to as early as 600BC. The â€Å"An Outline of Money†, written by G. Crowther, has traced the history of modern English Commercial banking.According to him, the present day banker has three ancestors such as merchants, goldsmith s & money lenders; which are briefly explain as under; 2. 2. 1 The Merchants: The earliest stage in the growth of banking can be traced to the working of merchants. These merchants were traders in commodities. The trading activities were carried on by them from one place to another. It was risky for the traders to carry metallic money with themselves for payment. The traders with high reputation began to issue receipts which were accepted as titles of money.These receipts or letters of transfer also called hundi in Indo Sub Continent were the first mode of payments. The merchant banking thus forms the earliest stage in the evolution of modern banking. 2. 2. 2 The Goldsmiths: The second stage in the growth of banking is normally traced to earlier goldsmiths. These goldsmiths also called Seths in India used to receive gold and silver for safe custody. The goldsmiths began to issue receipts for the metallic money (gold & silver) kept with them. These receipts with the passage of time b ecame payable to the bearer on demand.In this way the ‘goldsmiths’ note, become a medium of exchange and a mean of payment. The goldsmiths, thus, can rightly be termed as the fore-runners of the modern bank note. 2. 2. 3 The Money Lenders: The third stage in the development of banking arose when the goldsmiths became the money lenders. By experience the goldsmiths (who were called money lenders) came to know that they could keep a small proportion of the total deposits for meeting the demands of customers for cash and the rest they could easily lend. They allowed the depositors to draw over and above the money Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report actually standing to their credit. In Economic terminology, we can say that they allowed the overdraft facilities to their depositors. When every money lender and goldsmith issued receipts and most of them allowed the overdraft faci lities, there was too much confusion in the banking system. The money lenders and goldsmiths, in order to earn profits, could not keep adequate reserves for meeting the demands of the customers for cash.The failure on the part of the money lenders and goldsmiths to return money caused widespread distress among the people. In order to create confidence among the people, steps were taken to regulate the banking organization. A conference was held in Nuremburg in 1548. It was decided that a bank should be set up by the state which should streamline the banking organization and technique. The first central bank was formed in Geneva in 1578. Bank of England was established in 1694. The modern commercial banking system actually developed in the 19th century. 2. 3EVALUTION OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN At the time of independence the areas, which now constitute the Pakistan were producing only food grains and agricultural raw material. For Indo-Pak sub continent, there were practically no industr ies and whatever raw material was produced was being exported from the Pakistan. How ever commercial banking facilities were provided fairly well here. There were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the territories now constituting the Pakistan. As a new country without resources it was very difficult for the Pakistan to run its own banking system immediately.Therefore in accordance with the provision of Indian independence Act 1974, an expert committee was appointed to study the issue. On the recommendation of committee Reserve Bank of India continued to function in the Pakistan, till 30th September 1984, so that problem of time and demand, liability, coinage, currencies exchange etc be settled between India and Pakistan. It was decided that Pakistan will take over the management of public debt 10 Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report nd exchange control from reserve Bank of India on 1st A pril 1948, and that India notice would continue to be legal tender to the Pakistan till 30th September 1948. Following the announcement of independence plan in June 1947, the Hindus residing in the territories now comprising Pakistan started transferring their assets to India. Moreover the banks including those having the registered offices in Pakistan transferred to India in order to bring a collapse of new state. By 30th June 1948, the number of offices of scheduled banks declined from 487 to only 195 in the Pakistan.There were 19 non-Indian foreign banks with the status of small branch offices, which were engaged solely in export of crops from the Pakistani institutions i. e. , Habib Bank and Australia Bank. The government promulgated the Banking Companies Ordinance 1947, to safeguard the interests of both banks and the customers. The Imperial Bank closed down most of its offices in Pakistan, which created serious problems. The Indian government withheld Pakistan’s share o f Rs. 75 corer in cash balance held by them at the time of partition.The urgency of assuming control of banking and currency was very badly felt now. The government of Pakistan decided to establish a full-fledge central Bank. Father of the Nation, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan on July 1948, after the State Bank of Pakistan order was promulgated on 12th May 1948. The SBP provided every help and encouragement to Habib Bank to expend its network of branches and formulated and developed NBP in 1949 as an agent bank, which took over the agency functions in 1952 from Imperial Bank of India.In order to develop sound banking and weeding out week institutes, the Banking Companies Act was promulgated in 1949, empowering the SBP to control the operations of banking companies in Pakistan. In a very short period of time number of scheduled banks and other specialized credit institutions rose to thirty six. By June 1965, the numbers of branches of schedu led banks were 1591. Pakistani commercial banks were nationalized in 1974, but the process was reversed as nationalization proved to be defective. The ZTBL, MCB, 11 Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & TechnologyZarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report ABL and UBL have been privatized and HBL is expected to be privatized within near future. The nationalization of Banks in Pakistan since 1st January 1947 has heralded a new era of development and progress. It has taken a complete banking system with effect form January 1981. The privatization process of state owned banks and enterprises started in 1991. 2. 3 CLASSIFICATION OF BANKS IN THE PAKISTAN The banks are classified according to their spheres of activities. The main types of banks are as under: 1.Central Bank: Every civilized country now has its own central bank. The primary function of the central bank is to regulate the flow of money and credit in order to promote efficiency, stabil ity and growth in the country. In Pakistan, the SBP is the country’s central bank. 2. Commercial Banks: These banks are engaged in performing the routine duties of banking business. They collect surplus money from the people. They make loans and advances in the form of overdrafts, cash credits, discounting bills of exchange. The commercial banks also manufacture credit money.They also provide agency services and general utility services. These banks are considered the lifeblood of the economic society. Some commercial banks are owned and controlled by the government which is called as public sector banks. For e. g. , NBP, HBL, UBL†¦etc while other commercial banks that are owned by corporations is called as private sectors banks. For e. g. , MCB, ABL, City Bank†¦etc. 3. Exchange Banks: As name signifies, these banks mainly deal with international trade. These banks take the responsibility of settlement of foreign exchange and arrange the foreign business.In Pakistan , all the nationalized commercial banks have been allowed to do the business of exchange banks. 4. Saving Banks: Saving banks are those banks which collect and keep the small savings of the public. They are called also thrift promoting institutions. The saving 12 Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report banks invest the funds in the safest government securities. The Post offices and saving centers perform the business of saving banks in Pakistan. 5.Agriculture Banks: The agricultural banks (specialized banks) are set up to provide financial assistance to the agriculturists. The agriculture banks provide short term credit to the farmers for the purchase of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, fuel†¦. etc. They also make medium term advances for buying tractors and introducing modern techniques in farming. In Pakistan, the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan was set up in 1981 for meetin g the financial requirement of agriculture, the ADBP is incorporated as public limited company, according to the â€Å"Company Ordinance 1984† & is name was changed to the ZTBL in 2002.An agriculture bank is also called as domestic banks because these banks are registered and incorporated within the country. 6. Industrial Banks: The industrial banks mainly provide medium and long term credit to the industries. Since the industrial banks have long term deposits, they are in a position to permit long term investment in industries. In Pakistan, the Industrial Development Bank was set up in 1961. The other institutions engaged in providing financial assistance to industries are PICIC, NDFC†¦. etc. 2. 4 ROLE OF ZTBL IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE PAKISTANBanks play an important and active role in the economic development of a country. If the banking system in a country is effective, efficient and disciplined, it brings about a rapid growth in the various sectors of the ec onomy such as agriculture, industrial, and the SME sectors. If the banking system is unorganized and inefficient, it creates maladjustments and impediments in the process of development. In Pakistan, the banking system is very well organized. The SBP established on July 1st, 1948 stands at the apex and is responsible for the operation of the banking system in Pakistan.The other banks such as commercial, specialized or unspecialized banks which form the banking structure in the Pakistan are playing an active role in the 13 Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report economic development of the country. The role of the ZTBL in order to achieve economic growth and development of the Pakistan is briefly explained as under: 1. Development of Agriculture & Industrial Sector. The ZTBL particularly in rural areas of Pakistan are now providing credit for the development of agriculture & industrial secto r.The provision of credit to agriculture & industrial sector has greatly helped in raising agricultural productivity and income of the farmers. This has led to increased demand for industrial goods and expansion of trade & industry. The use of bank drafts, cheque, bills of exchange, credit cards†¦. etc, has revolutionized both national and international trade. 2. Banks Promote Capital Formation. The ZTBL plays an important role in rising of the financial resources. They encourage savings by giving various types of incentives to the savers.They expand branches of the banks in the rural and urban areas and mobilize savings even at far of places. These savings are then made available to the businesses which make use of for productive purposes in the country. 3. Investment in new Enterprises. Businessmen normally hesitate to invest their money in risky enterprises. The ZTBL generally provide short, medium & long term loans to farmers to invest in new enterprises and adopt new metho ds of production. The provision of timely credit increases the productive capacity of the country. The organized banking system helps in directing physical resources into productive channels.It also keeps a balance between the availability and requirements of the capital in the country. 4. Balanced Development of different regions. The ZTBL plays an important role in achieving balanced development in different regions of the country. They help in transferring surplus capital from developed regions to the less developing regions. The trade industries etc of less developed regions are able 14 Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Chapter 1 Introduction to Report to get adequate capital for meeting their business needs.This in turn, increases investment, trade and production in the country. 5. Monetization of the Economy. The commercial banks by opening branches in the rural and backward areas are reducing the exchange of g oods through barter. The use of money has now greatly increased the volume of production of goods. The non monetized sector (barter economy) is now being converted into monetized sector with the help of commercial banks. 6. Implementation of Monetary Policy. The central bank of the country controls and regulates volume of credit through the active cooperation of the banking system in the country.It helps in bringing price stability and promotes economic growth within shortest possible period of time. The ZTBL under the supervision and guidance of the SBP help in implementing and achieving the objectives of the monetary policy which vary from time to time. 7. Financing Development Projects. The ZTBL provide short, medium & long term loans for financing of development projects both in private and public sectors.

Booting the Exports: In order to boosts the exports of the agriculture and industrial goods of the Pakistan, the banks have established export promotion cell for the information and guidance of the exporters. 9. Less Reliance on Foreign Capital: A planed banking system by launching a vigorous campaign of mobilizing idle saving in the country can meet the capital development requirements from within the country.The country will thus have to rely less on foreign capital for financing in the development projects. 15 Institute of Management Sciences, Kohat University of Science & Technology Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd.

Therefore the need for establishment of a third source of agricultural credit was essentially percolated so as to fulfil the credit requirements of farmers not only for production but even for the development purposes. Consequently, the ADFC was brought into existence in 1952 for the purpose of expanding financial facilities and promoting the development and modernization of agriculture in the Pakistan.Subsequently in 1957, the ABP was established that can provide both short term loan for production and long term loan for development.

African Americans fought hard and valiantly in the American Civil war and with the Unions win freedom and peace for blacks seemed to be assured. As most people would quote, Freedom isn t free. It almost always has a cost. Africans Americans since the origin of this country have literally laid down their lives for the cost of freedom and opportunity in the US.

The role of women in the Greek Heroic Age and late 19th century Europe was one of great obedience and devotion to the men of the house. Nora in A Doll House, a play written by Henrik Ibsen, and Penelope in The Odyssey, an epic poem sung by Homer, both display unwavering loyalty to the men they love. Penelope pretends she is available to the suitors by weaving and unravelling a burial shroud to buy time and by offering her hand in marriage to the winner of her archery contest. Nora pretends she is the doll wife to her husband Torvald by secretly loaning money from Krogstad and by devising a suicide plan to keep Torvald s honour. Since both the Greek Heroic Age and late 19th century Europe were patriarchal societies, female autonomy was done in secret. Both Penelope and Nora use deception and guile to meet the same goal of saving their families, especially the men they love. While Odysseus is on his journey home to Ithaca, Penelope weaves a burial shroud for her father-in-law, Laerte s. Penelope informs So by day I d weave at my great and growing web -/ by night, by the light of torches beside me, I would unravel all I d done (Homer, 395). Penelope s trickery allows her to stall the suitors until Odysseus returns home. Since Penelope never completes the burial shroud, she never marries one of the suitors. Moreover, female honour during the Greek Heroic Age was purely sexual. Since Penelope never engages in sexual acts with the suitors, she maintains her honour, andShow MoreRelatedNeoclassical Art Versus Romanticism Art1164 Words   |  5 PagesThe Neoclassical era was known as â€Å"The Age of Reason† or â€Å"The Enlightenment†.

Damage of Negative Social Media Strongly †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Damage of Negative Social Media Strongly. Answer: Introduction: There are different categories of people who reside in the world as a part of society. Every society has its own distinct characteristics. It should however be noted and understood that no particular society is perfect in any sense. There are evils and disadvantages in every society. Some societies might experience a relatively lesser number of problems than other societies but the fact of the matter is that there are existent evils in each society. These evils are deadly and have a profound negative impact on the people of the world around us. This is because of the reason that evils create negative energy which engulfs people. Society needs to be freed of all evils to emerge as the winner as a whole. Therefore it is to be understood that the social evils need not be feared but understood and eradicated (Corstjens Umblijs, 2012). Social evils have the power to disrupt the normal flow of lives of the people and might also disrupt the social life to a large extent. These evils have the power to cause problems and disturbances in the lives of the people and also create a huge impact on the individuals inhabiting the society and their norms, customers, values, perceptions, religious and other daily practices and so on. Social evils include poverty, slavery, trafficking, the financial inequality, the great demarcation between the haves and the have nots. The rise of he selfish, self-centred and self absorbed individuals of the present day world and the concepts of crime, corruption, addiction are all different types of social evils (Karnani, 2016). Trafficking is a very serious and a grave crime which leads to a huge violation of human rights. There are thousands of women and children who fall prey to people who send them to different countries. In such cases, threats, force, coercion are administered to sent the persons to far off places. Several dangerous consequences await the people who are trafficked. This is a sign of an extremely wrong and dangerous mentality which is detrimental to the people residing in the society (Haynes, 2014). Human trafficking is truly a global threat and needs to be stopped at any cost. There are several reasons which can be cited behind the growth of social evils. Several reasons contribute towards incapacitation of a society to be and perform well for all the inhabitants. One of the main reasons is the prevalent law and order in the society. In case the laws are not equal and just the situations which involve judgement would not be true and fair and individuals are bound to lose their faith in such a system. A strong law and order system can help enforce a certain state of justice and balance in the society. There need to be strict laws so that the culprits are punished and it becomes clear to all the people that strict punishments are there for any person who fails to abide by the law. In case the law and order of the society continues to favour a certain section of the people who are well off and influential and discriminates in case of people who are poor and not powerful, the evils of the society specifically crimes of different types and categories will conti nue to prevail (Haynes, 2014). It is seen that the people who have huge amounts of money and who are usually extremely well off are favoured in all segments and in all cases. This is bound to make the poorer class complacent. This is because the enforcement of the law fails to bring them justice and they are blamed for crimes and misdeeds which are not even theirs. It happens in majority of cases that the poor and the downtrodden people cannot escape the biased law and order system which is not in their favour (Corstjens Umblijs, 2012). However, there are certain theories which put forward the idea that the social evils are not only the outcome of the unjust social system but the corrupt human nature. It is suggested in majority of situations that a certain section of human beings are corrupt by nature and they are not a proper fit for the inappropriate social system. The conscience and the nature of the people should be such that they should not knowingly cause harm to the people. There are certain individuals who become abnormal by birth and some become abnormal because of the situations which they had to face in their childhood. The situations in their personal lives impact themselves so deeply that it becomes an indelible part of their character. Social orientation plays a huge part in determining whether an individual becomes a criminal or stays a loyal citizen of the society (Karnani, 2016). In order to make the society a better place, it should be freed of all evils. People should not be afraid of meeting and trusting people. There should be a perfect harmony among all sorts of people. Judgements should not be made based on a persons background, his race, religion or nationality (Jenkins, 2017). It might not be possible to eradicate all evils from the society, however it is possible to reduce the evils to a large extent so that people lead a peaceful life. There needs to be the spread of education, there also needs to be a proper character building children must be trained to have a proper and a sound character. Moral education is a must to reduce all sorts of social evils. In case children are taught the power of staying together at a young age they will be able to understand the importance of staying as one in a particular society (Brown, 2017). There might be myriad ways in which evils can be eradicated from the society but the sole way in which this can be done lies with the human beings themselves. Only they can try and make the world a better place to live in. In case they try and make the world suitable for each other, the society will become better and worth living. References: Brown, M. J.
