the subject. The theories that have been brought to light are mass hysteria caused by St. Vitus, Ergotism, Tarantism, and an unknown type of heretical cult. None of these ideas are able to truly explain the abrupt Dancing Plague that occurred in Strasbourg. This is not the first time this type of event has occurred. Dancing epidemics have also occurred in other areas of Europe in earlier centuries, but without the same deadly outcome as the 1518 plague. The most popular theory on the cause of 1518’s

During the 1347-1349 outbreak of the Black plague in Europe, religious bigotry and greed for money from citizens in Strasbourg motivated the arrest and slaughter of its Jewish people. The Black plague was a disease that first arrived by sea into Messina, Italy in 1347. Transmitted through rats and flea bites, the disease had spread from coastal to inland cities from 1347 to 1349. Avignon, a coastal city was among the first cities to be affected by the disease. “By 1348, more than half of Avignon’s

Introduction In this assignment, out of the two European cities provided for our choice, I selected Strasbourg, which is located in the eastern part of France, since the given small scale map clearly shows some of the historic buildings located in the city. In contrasting with Strasbourg, France, I have chosen Tucson, a small/mid-size city in the state of Arizona. The reason for such a particular choice lays in a desire to learn more about this city, which I may potentially have an opportunity to

a constitutional shift, where sovereignty is now shared between higher judges (judiciary) and Westminster Parliament (Legislator), with further reference to the impact of UK Judges following the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights (i.e. Strasbourg), which will

methods to spread a culture because the immigrants can practice their culture everyday and share with the natives. Unfortunately, however, there are three contending views of cultural globalization and I decided to examine the views in London and in Strasbourg. The first view is that the racism always follows the immigrants. In London,

My interest in foreign affairs is what motivated me to apply to Georgetown University and now to attend the Université de Strasbourg. As a sophomore French major and Arabic minor, I have always been passionate about the interactions among languages, cultures, and nations. My classes at Georgetown have only strengthened my linguistic passion by inspiring me to expand my horizons with each lesson or homework assignment. My favorite French class thus far at Georgetown, for example, emphasized the importance

Europe, which was established in 1949 in Strasbourg in France in order to unify Europe after the Second World War (Harries et al., 2014; O 'Boyle, 2014). According to Donald et al., (2012), United Kingdom was among the first countries to adopt and has played an important role in ECHR creation at that time. In 1966, the petition and jurisdiction of UK’s citizens was voluntary and individuals was able to take a case and jurisdictions to the ECtHR in Strasbourg. Latterly, in 1998 this process become compulsory

Section C: 8 Before the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) coming into force, the UK subscribed to a ‘weak’ judicial review. However, the Act has brought a drastic change into the practice of judicial review in the UK. In this essay, I shall argue that with the new powers conferred to the courts under sections 3 and 4 (ss 3 and 4) of the HRA, they have developed a mechanism which allows the court to communicate with Parliament through their interpretations although the practice of judicial review remains

unnecessary document. The introduction of the Charter does however raise questions of how the relationships of the Luxembourg and Strasbourg courts may be affected. The current position of the courts, as described by academic, S Douglas Scott , is “a symbiotic interaction…working out a solution to the sometimes awkward co-existence of the EU and ECHR”. The ECJ and Strasbourg courts make reference to the others law but on a limited basis as to avoid conflict. As has already been seen, the ECJ frequently

The English common law system is obliged to comply with the rights and obligations under the Human Rights Act Convention. Even though they are not bound by it has been advised by the House of Lords to harmonise or comply with the Conventions, on a equivalent basis which is “no more, but certainly no less”. The Convention does not guarantee damages for violations that have occurred between private parties, it only protects them against the public authorities, thus only binding states. Generally the
