The article is based on an analysis of legal acts, documents and literature. Its purpose is to present the development of consumerism in the United States in four historic eras. The idea of consumers’ laws has been developed with particular stress on the president’s J.F. Kennedy speech of 15th March 1962 – Special Message to the Congress on Protecting the Consumer Interest. For the first time in the history, four consumers’ rights were named: the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose and the right to be heard. Therefore United States are commonly recognized as the predecessor of the idea of consumerism.

In December 2013 Devyani Khobragade, deputy consul general of the Consulate General of India in New York, was charged with committing visa fraud and providing false statements in order to obtain a visa for her Indian domestic servant, whom she had paid illegally low wages. She was arrested the next day by agents of the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service and transferred into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. There she was subjected to a body‑cavity search and placed in a holding cell with common criminals, before being released on bond later the same day. She had to surrender her passport and was barred from leaving New York. Her arrest and treatment received much public attention, causing angry protests in India, and sparked a full‑scale diplomatic crisis between India and the United States. Indian authorities fully backed the diplomat, demanding an apology from the US State Department, and proceeded to retaliate against American diplomats when she was indicted. The crisis ended in May 2014 when the BJP party won national elections in India. This paper provides an in‑depth analysis of this complex and unusual incident, including its causes and direct consequences for Indo‑American relations.

During the last two centuries factors directing migration were purely economic or combined by different political reasons such as prosecution or political pressure based on religion or any other. The immigration policy in the United States always reacted to the changing situation earlier or later but restrictions were discriminative in any times and influenced emigration from those territories were restricted generally. The most egalitarian juridical viewpoint and regulation appeared only by Immigration Act of 1990 creating a new era in both migration policy and in the relation between the US and the rest of the world. Such racist aspects as the disclosure of Eastern Europeans changed to a more liberal consideration of popular diversity which can led to emerge the US society both economically and demographically to an unexpected level in the future. And despite since the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 broadly disclosed Eastern European from immigration and despite patterns in emigration from Easter Europe changed generally in the last couple of years34 America as a target country remained in their minds when thinking about emigration.

At the end of the Cold War, Yugoslavia lost its geopolitical significance for the United States. The President George H.W. Bush Administration tried to support these political forces in the SFRY, which tended to maintain the multiethnic country, for example the new Prime Minister of Yugoslavia Ante Marković, and the leader of Macedonia, Kiro Gligorov. The Americans opposed the independence aspiration of Croatians and Slovenians, because they were afraid that it would lead to the ultimate falling apart of the country, which could influence the USSR. When the EC recognized Slovenia and Croatia, the Bush Administration refrained from following European countries until April 1992, considering the consequences for Bosnia and Macedonia. The peaceful and democratic nature of Macedonia’s independence placed the republic in a good position to be recognized by the United States. But Greece led a vigorous campaign against the recognition of Macedonia and the Administration of George H.W. Bush was worried that a conflict between Greece and Macedonia could spark a regional conflict in which Greece and Turkey, two members of the NATO, could clash against each other. One influence on the decision of the Bush Administration was the Greek lobby in the United States, which actively engaged in the Macedonian case and the 1992 presidential campaign. Concurrently, without establishing official diplomatic relations with Macedonia, the Americans engaged in the works of the CSCE mission and supported the preventive deployment of “blue helmets” to appease the domestic situation and contain neighbours from aggressive steps. “The Macedonian Problem,” as the bloody war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, remained unravelled by George H.W. Bush and became a problem for his successor in the White House.

The United States and Western Europe approved the change of power in Iran, fearing of the Communist influence. What is more, PRL newspapers put a sign of equality between the U.S. policy in Iran and the rule of the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, stressing that the U.S. will accept each and every amendment on the Iranian political scene in order to safeguard the interests in the Middle East. Iranian-American relations in the Polish press were characterized by complexity and uncertainty resulting from the presenting the United States as a declining leader of the ailing world in the 80s.

This study analyzes the position of the United States of America toward the Greek question between 1945 and 1947. Its goal is to answer the question of why, with the end of the Second World War, the interest of the United States took such an interest in the political situation in Greece – a country that had traditionally fallen under the influence of Great Britain. It discusses the reasons why the American government decided in 1947 to replace the United Kingdom in its power position in Greece. The entire issue is set into the wider context of Greek political developments in the years 1944–1947 without neglecting the perspective of the USA in the initial stages of the Greek Civil War or the reasons for Great Britain’s withdrawal from Greece. This study is based upon archival research in the United States and Great Britain, and many volumes of source materials as well as secondary literature.

Retirement signifies the transition from a position of active employment to a non-employee status usually triggered by age or other significant life event. The underlying principle of retirement continues to be a necessary event to sustain the American economy. In the post-depression era, the idea of retirement and more recently the idea of encouraging individuals to retire became a popular notion. Benefits from retirement include job openings for younger workers who graduate from college or university or are ready to start a trade or other employment. Recently government and private workers have been enticed into retirement with a myriad of buy-out arrangements. Even when Americans make a good faith effort to save for retirement, it is possible to end up with inadequate resources due to corrupt business practices and investment decisions that do not generate adequate returns.

Emerytura oznacza przejście z pozycji aktywnego zatrudnienia do statusu osoby niepracującej zwykle z powodu wieku lub innych istotnych wydarzeń życiowych. Podstawowe zasady przechodzenia na emeryturę w dalszym ciągu są niezbędne dla utrzymania amerykańskiej gospodarki. W okresie pokryzysowym, zachęcanie osób do przejścia na emeryturę stało się popularnym zjawiskiem. Korzyści z przejścia w status emerytalny osób uwzględniają otwarcie rynku pracy dla młodszych pracowników kończących szkoły i uczelnie lub gotowych do podjęcia działalności handlowej lub innego zatrudnienia. W ostatnim czasie pracownicy sektora administracyjnego i prywatnego zachęcani byli do przejścia na emeryturę za pomocą licznych ofert wykupu. Nawet jeśli Amerykanie w dobrej wierze oszczędzają na emerytury, istnieje możliwość, że pozostaną z niewystarczającymi środkami za sprawą praktyk korupcyjnych w biznesie i decyzji inwestycyjnych, które nie przynoszą odpowiednich zwrotów.
