Introduction

The book The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo argues that beneath any man lies some degree of evil, so detrimental if exposed under duress. The Lucifer Effect explains how good men can transform when exposed to stressful environments to commit heinous activities beyond imaginable moral magnitudes. In this regard, the author empirically explains the findings of the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) the processes involved in transforming good men into committing evil and heinous activities under duress and powerful situational forces. A comparison between the SPE findings and those of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq have strong correlations in ...

Article Reviews

The newly developed SASB allowed companies to take into consideration external events (Eccles, 2016) that cannot be controlled such as the effects of climate change. The reason for the accounting standard addition is that governments cannot ignore the effects on industrial markets and their investors (Eccles, 2016). The value of accounting standards is that it allows individuals, companies, and governments to generate wealth since it allows financial performance comparisons (Eccles, 2016). The problem is that there was no previous standard developed for nonfinancial performances (Eccles, 2016) especially on environmental and social activities.

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”

Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

The article entitled Japan’s growth strategy is all wrong is about the ...

When an armed attack takes place, eyewitnesses usually focus on the weapon and ignore the appearance of the perpetrator, to the extent that they are unable to remember his or her face accurately afterwards. Many studies have showed that seeing a gun makes eyewitnesses less reliable, because they tend to focus on the weapon, rather than the face or particularities of the criminal. These studies often concluded that this is an automatic response generated by fear or surprise at the unexpected sight of the weapon (Pickel, Ross & Truelove, 2006). In their study, Pickel, Ross & Truelove (2006) investigated the psychological ...

Article Review: Ovulatory cycle effects on tip earnings by lap dancers

The hormonal changes in a woman during her ovulatory cycle have several effects on her daily life. The effects include alteration in the behavior patterns and sexual attractiveness.

- The Warburg effect was an observation found in cancer cells by a German biochemist Otto Heinrich Warburg. He was able to observe that in cancer cells, there is a high rate of glycolysis under aerobic conditions, a trait which is technically inefficient for energy production in multicellular organisms. Hence due to his discovery, it subsequently also became known as the “Warburg Effect” over the years.

- Apparently Warburg was wrong. It was said in the paper that not all cancer cells have their mitochondria improperly functioning.

While an individual can be certain that their recollection of events is accurate, eyewitnesses can often get large details incorrect, such as gender, clothing colors, and race. According to research by Frenda, Nichols, and Loftus (2011), there are several aspects of human nature that contribute to what is referred to as the Misinformation Effect. Memories often deteriorate over time, even when the events feel like they just happened yesterday to the individual recounting the experience. However, due to a variety of variables, such as the amount of stress associated with the experience, information provided by fellow eyewitnesses, investigators, and even ...

Introduction

Government interference play huge role in the economic processes: by conducting monetary or fiscal policy, policymakers are able to stimulate the economy during the periods of downturn and moderate too fast growth during the periods of economic boom: both these cases have devastating consequences for the general growth and development. Particularly, central banks, that make decisions regarding the monetary policy, are most important players. By using different tools, such as interest rates, open market operations, required reserves etc., central banks might influence on aggregate supply and aggregate demand, thus shifting equilibrium to the desired level (in other ...

Micro and macro nutrients are crucially important in the body. Iron functions as a very important micronutrient in the body. It helps in the central nervous system as a cofactor in the process of energy metabolism, synthesis in the transmission of the neurons. It also helps in the myelination process- a process that develops the myelin important for skin protection. Iron is also very important in tissue functions such as oxygen transportation and energy synthesis. Iron deficiency is the state of inefficient iron quantities in the body. Iron deficiency anemia is the severe deficieny state. It results in ...

Iron deficiency is seen to the most neglected and the most prevalent nutrient deficiency all over the world, and more particularly among children and pregnant women in developing countries. Anemia is defined by low hematocrit or hemoglobin and is used commonly in assessing iron deficiency severity in populations lacking high malaria rates. The high iron requirement physiologically in pregnant women is difficult to attain with most diets. As a result, they receive routine iron supplementation. The studies conducted in the past have given evidence that iron supplementation without or with folic acid does reduce anemia incidence during pregnancy, but ...

The Author, Walter Hixson has in this article discussed the effect popular culture has on the postindustrial society. This has however, been subject to discussion over the years as some critics argued that popular culture would have different effects on different people.

Most politicians for example Ronald Reagan took to popular culture for themes relevant to the political scene (Wirls, 1992). This essentially resulted into increased scrutiny of the effects popular culture would have on the masses (Hixson, ...

This was the stepping stone to more studies and theories on greenhouse gas and global warming.
The greenhouse effect is a natural occurrence that allows ultraviolet radiation to pass on the surface of the earth and blocks infrared ...

1. Introduction: The current environment especially in Western societies promotes increasing consumption of calories along with a relatively sedentary lifestyle thus fueling the global obesity epidemic. Body weight is regulated by complex interaction of genes that promote energy storage along with environmental factors that promote enhanced energy intake and reduced energy expenditure. This obesity promoting environment makes it difficult for many people to sustain weight loss for long periods of time and adequately maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Obesity can overall have many devastating effects on human health such as increased tendency to develop high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems and strokes.
