Government regulation plays a role in business in protecting consumers, preventing actions taken by businesses that will hurt the overall economy, and also in regulating the financial industries sector to prevent major economic turmoil. Periods of unregulated economic activity have been mired by large booms and busts, so governments have attempted to intervene to regulate economies in order to prevent these damaging cycles to economies.
The arrest of a criminal suspect.
If you've ever watched a television crime drama, you've heard the "Miranda warning" -- or at least the beginning of it: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney ...." There's a couple more sentences to the warning, but TV shows often cut to the next scene before hearing the arresting officer finish their recitation of the full warning.
Miranda v. Arizona was a Supreme Court case decided in 1966. Ernesto Miranda was accused of kidnapping and raping a woman. He confessed to the crime when interrogated by police, but attorneys argued that he did not fully understand his 6th Amendment rights. After the decision in Miranda v. Arizona, it has become standard procedure in all arrests that the arresting officers must clearly state the accused person's rights -- their "Miranda rights," as they have become known.
There are many differences between schools all around the world. In America we are graded on a scale from 1-100, but in mexico they are graded on a scale from 1-10.

There are a lot of differences between schools all around the world, but that's what makes them all unique.

"There is a risk, definitely. And we are very aware of that," says Brooke Isham, director of the Food for Peace program at the US Agency for International Development (USAID). "And that is why we are always looking at the impact of food aid on local markets and whether it is depressing prices in local markets."
USAID, the UN World Food Program (WFP) and others monitor markets regularly. Etienne Labonde, head of WFP's program in Haiti, says, as of March, food aid did not cause major disruptions in Haiti's economy. "Maybe it's an impression, but it's not the facts at the moment," he says.
Low prices can lead Haiti's farmers to store rice rather than sell it at a loss.
Whether impression or fact, Haitian President Rene Preval raised the issue when he came to Washington last month. He said food aid was indispensible right after the earthquake. But, "If we continue to send food and water from abroad," he said, "it will compete with national production of Haiti and with Haitian trade."
