The Growth in Internet Use Has Affected Cultures Around the World, Leading to a Westernized, Homogenous World Culture

The concept of globalization is sometimes discussed as an undesirable feature of the current geopolitical realities of the world.

One of the impacts of going out to explore the world is that cultural interactions take place. These cultural interactions have been ...

The Morality and Legality of Insider Trading

Undeniably, the rate of unethical behaviors in international corporate organizations seems to have risen to an uncontrollable rate. For instance, insider trading that does not involve the abuse of dominant positions or manipulation of financial marks is often termed illegal but hardly immoral. Among the major proponents of insider trading are that it promotes the spirit of enterprise and economic efficiency but at the same time, it leads to unequally access to information and breach of fiduciary duty (Juan, 2011). It is highly believed that insiders are capable of undertaking strategic trading activities to prevent them from revealing their ...

Ontario’s HPV Vaccination Program
In this paper, I present arguments that are supportive of the ethical inappropriateness of the Ontario government’s HPV vaccination initiative.

In addition, I will use the utilitarian approach to support my views.

The feminist movement has been a vibrant one for the past couple of decades, not only in the United States but all across the world.

The feminist movement involved several projects in the government bureaucracies, different institutions, and professions. These movements have brought about major changes in the lives of many women and their professions. Despite the acceptance of women’s equality and prominent accomplishments, the feminist movement has yet to achieve its absolute goals of gender equality (Epstein 2001).

Dietary Trends Reflect Socioeconomic Status and Gender Roles in contemporary U.S Society.

Nutrition has undoubtedly emerged as a dominant contemporary social and cultural value in contemporary U.S society amid an escalating rate of heart disease and ongoing obesity epidemic. However, dietary choices on the individual level are often influenced by exterior forces which both mold the perception of what is considered to be healthy as well as the availability of genuinely healthy food to certain socio-economic segments of the population. In the consumer based capitalist society of the contemporary United States, food has become an agent which reinforces traditional gender roles and also serves as a primary indicator of the ever expanding degree ...

The ideal and real roles of women depicted in the plays The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare and The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Women have been the subject of greater literary interest since times immemorial. They frequently serve as the means to replicate contemporary society. During the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, women were largely portrayed as the victims of a patriarch society. Modern feminism was nonexistent until the 19th century and female voice was completely subdued. “Feminists’ scholars regarded the 18th century author Mary Wollstonecraft as the original harbinger of feminism, a ...

Literature

Dana, a modern black woman, was celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with Kevin, her husband, when she was snatched abruptly from her home in Altadena, Los Angeles, California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, a young white boy, was drowning, and Dana jumped into the lake and rescued him. It was as though Dana had been summoned to rescue the boy. Dana was repeatedly drawn back to the early nineteenth century, to the slave quarters, where her stay grew longer and longer with each transit. Each visit grew longer, more arduous and equally dangerous for her. This continued, until, it became ...

Analysis of “TV Makes Us Smarter”

Steven Johnson in his New York Times article “Watching TV Makes You Smarter” argues that the increased complexity of TV plot lines has contributed to an increased intelligence of viewers. Whereas in the past TV shows typically followed a single plot line and had a single protagonist, today, shows such as “24” and “Lost” among many others follow extremely complex plotlines that involve multiple characters, that blur the lines between good guys and bad guys, and while the moral issues are not as clean cut as they were in the past. There are several ways of interpreting this data. One is ...

Gustav Klimt was an important painter in the history of art, and one of the few artists appreciated in their own lifetimes. His portrait of Adele Bach Bauer I in particular illustrates how the flow of his life’s work ran through the Victorian Age, into the Edwardian era and influenced the genres that followed. In part, due to the times in which he lived he was exposed to a world in transition. Born on July 14, 1862 in the Austrian-Hungarian city of Baumgarten during the Victorian era he studied at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts until 1883. ...

Although Macklemore and Lipsitz have chosen different methods of relaying their message, they come to a consensus at some point. Lipsitz’s article is a critical analysis and criticism of the ill behavior that surrounds whites on their perspective to black people. On the other hand, Macklemore has chosen his song as a platform over which he delivers his message. The two individuals have been able to come into a common thought that racism has gained roots, with whites being superior over blacks. It is clear from their different presentations that they are aware of the difference between whites and blacks.

Introduction

Amidst increasing globalization of markets and industries, it is natural for custodians of free-market distortions, to scrutinize not just companies at home country, but also foreign ones. This is applicable to not only national regulators such Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Antitrust Division of Department of Justice (DOJ), but also to international regulators such as the European Commission. These regulators must supervise mergers and acquisitions at their home territory as well as in other jurisdictions. So, it is not unexpected when, those mergers, which, initially seems to be purely American in nature, have been subject to intensive inspection ...

President Obama is a Keynesian and social democrat in domestic policy, and has been forced to deal with the worst depression since the 1930s. He has rightfully rejected the conservative laissez faire policies of the last thirty years in favor of government stimulus, investments and support of the economy that have prevented far worse consequences for the American people. In this area his policies are far preferable to those of his Republican opponents and he should be reelected. This is also true of his foreign policy, which is more realistic and pragmatic than that of his opponents and less likely ...

China’s Role and Contribution to the Global Economy

Economists and editorialists often describe the rise of China as a case of a flourishing economy which is following an ascendant trend, preceded by Japan and the Asian "tigers" (Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) and that will be soon joined by India. The impact of China's continuing rise on the world countries-on both the developed and the developing countries - will be enormous, and so will be the need to find new strategies and reactions to the challenges created by China.
Taking into account the differential purchasing power, China is already the second largest economy in the world. Advancing ...

One of the generally established positions considering the scientific revolution of the XVII century is that the European science (primarily related to the classical natural sciences) originated from it. It is interesting that it emerged at once in the interrelation of all components: theoretical knowledge, its rationale and mathematical description, experimental testing, social structure with network of scientific communication and public application. Among the phrases that can best show the way of thinking that started acting at that time, there is one William Gilbert wrote in his Preface: “LIFE is a Chemical Process: In that of every Individual there has ...
