The dominant influence of the Māori language (te reo Māori) upon New Zealand English is lexical. An 1999 estimate based on the Wellington corpora of written and spoken New Zealand English put the proportion of words of Māori origin ...

| | | | | socio-economic: Encyclopedia II - World Bank Group - Organizational structure Together with four affiliated agencies created between 1956 and 1988, the IBRD is part of the World Bank Group. The Group's headquarters are in Washington, D.C.. It is a non-profit-making international organisation owned by member governments.
Technically the World Bank is part of the United Nations system, but its governance structure is different: each institution in the World Bank Group is owned by its member governments, which subscribe to its basic share capital, with votes proportional to shareholding. Membership gives certain v ...

| | | | | socio-economic: Encyclopedia II - Technocratic movement - Goals and ideology A technocracy is a socio-economic system, one that is based upon abundance, as opposed to scarcity-based economies like capitalism or communism. A core conclusion reached by the group is that a price system, or any system based on scarcity, is an illogical means of distribution in the technologically advanced world in which we live. Technocracy sees established economic, political and administrative forms as relics of a traditional past. The group uses scientific observations and reasoning to argue that a technate is an optimal social structure.

| | | | | socio-economic: Encyclopedia II - Exploitation - Theories of exploitation The focus of most assertions about the existence of exploitation is the socio-economic phenomenon where people trade their labor or allegiance to a powerful entity, such as the state, a corporation or any other private company. Some theories of exploitation (Marxist, new liberal) are structural, while others are organizational (neoclassical).
Exploitation - Marxist theory.
In Marxism, the kinds of exploitation described by other theories (see further below) are usually called "super-exploitat ...

Democratic Republic of the Congo - Congolese pre-history.
From 2000 BC to AD 500, waves of Bantu migrations moved into what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Although the term "Congo" usually encompasses neighboring Congo-Brazzaville as well) from the northwest, adding to and displacing the indigenous Pygmy populations into the southern regions of the modern DRC state. Subsequent migrations from the Darfur and Kordofan regions of Sudan into the northeast, as well as East Africans migrating into the eas ...

financialisation (the extraordinarily strong growth of the global financial markets. This is trade in financial claims to current and future income. As a corollary, the proportion of national income which consists of interest income and rentier income increases.

At different times and in different contexts, the definition of the West (also called the Occident) varies. It is not always clear which definition is being used.

| | | | | | socio-economic: Encyclopedia II - Capital accumulation - Psychology, sociology and ethics of capital accumulation There have been numerous psychological and sociological studies of the motivations of investment behaviour by individuals. Most of these suggest that the propensity to accumulate capital is associated with qualities such as an intelligent understanding of property ownership, a positive attitude towards money, the ability to seize a money-making opportunity, and a desire to acquire more wealth. These are not innate or genetic qualities, but learnt through social experience.
However, even if a strong motivation for enrichment exists, th ...

World Bank Group - Social and environmental concerns.
Throughout the period from 1972 to 1989, the Bank did not conduct its own environmental assessments and did not require assessments for every project that was proposed. Assessments were required only for a varying, small percentage of projects, with the environmental staff, in the early 1970s, sending check-off forms to the borrowers and, in the latter part of the period, ...

| | | | | socio-economic: Encyclopedia II - Technocratic movement - Books on the Technocratic movement To date, two serious studies of the early history of the Technocratic movement have been published:
William E. Akin, Technocracy and the American Dream: The Technocrat Movement, 1900-1941 (University of California Press, 1977) ISBN 0520031105
Henry Elsner, The Technocrats, Prophets of Automation (Syracuse University Press, 1967)
Elsner's account is from a sociological perspective and so might provide more social theory than history. Akin's book is much more detailed, though deals m ...

(See Western culture.) Some cornerstones in this tradition are arguably: deductive reasoning, rule of law, also Christianity had major influence in the western thought, especially the last 1500 years. In the 21st Century Christianity has declined in influence in many western countries in Europe and elsewhere. Secularism and Freethought are increasingly important. An exception is the so-called Bible Belt of the Southern United States where religion and Religious fundamentalism is important. ...
