Revolving door is a political science concept used to the describe the phenomena in state capitalist societies where employees cycle between roles in an industry, and roles in
government which influence that industry. Often these
two roles overlap, with politicians/civil servants simultaneously being employed in the private sector. Political analysts claim a symbiotic relationship can develop between the private sector and sections of
government, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges, a conflict of interest to the detriment of the nation. The revolving door concept is important in various political concepts, notably regulatory capture. The term is also more generally used for positions with high turnovers.
Casual relationship is an annotation used to describe the physical and emotional relationship between two people who may have a sexual relationship or a near-sexual relationship without necessarily demanding or expecting a more formal romantic relationship as a goal. It is more than simple casual
sex, which has little or no emotional element, and different from a
one-night stand, as the relationship extends beyond a single sexual encounter. Related terms are friends with benefits and
f*&k buddies.
Civil ceremonies often allow couples to choose their own
marriage vows, although many civil
marriage vows are adapted from the traditional vows, taken from the Book of Common Prayer, "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for
better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to
cherish, till death us do part."
