The term corruption in the simplest and most basic sense refers to the abuse or misuse of the available public resources and amenities by few individuals so as to benefit their private needs and urges. It also refers to a state where the people elected in public places, and offices use their powers and privilege to enrich themselves with the public resources. And powers at the expense of the general public or a whole society. At the face value, major corruption scandals would involve instances and cases where the officers in the positions of authority take bribe and solicit other mutual ...

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom
Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

Archeology and Art History

It is vital to note that Max Loehr was a distinguished art historian, especially of Chinese art. His 1953 paper was specifically focused on the historical study of Chinese bronzes. The study reflected on the fact that archeology pointed out the fact that the style of an object is not its property. What Robert Bagley set out to do in his book, Max Loehr and the Study of Chinese
Bronzes: Style and Classification in the History of Art, was to point out to all art historians, that style and classification is of great concern to all ...

Introduction

As very well stated by Jeff Wilson (2014) in his book Mindful America, “How Buddhism moves into new cultures and becomes domesticated: in each case, members of the new culture take from Buddhism what they believe will relieve their culture-specific distresses and concerns, in the process spawning new Buddhism (sometimes, crypto-Buddhism) that better fit their needs” (Wilson, 2014, p. 3).
Mindfulness in its true form is practicing and taming the mind to learn to live in the present without thinking about past or present while observing from a distance our own self and our thoughts which continue to flow ...

Who would have ever imagined, in their wildest dreams that a simple splatter of paint, a solid coat of one single colour painted on a canvas, or even an infant like sketch that would take 10 seconds to complete, would in the right hands sell for millions and millions of dollars? Is this even possible in today’s vast and sweeping art market? It most certainly is, and records for highest priced artworks sold over the last century continue to be broken to this very day. However it is our intention to explore specifically as to why such simple ...

Modern consumer capitalist democracy or, simply, modern capitalism, has been widely and profoundly criticized by numerous scholars, policymakers, and national leaders. Margaret Thatcher, Herbert Marcuse, and Ralf Dahrendorf were all critical of modern capitalism. But the question is, were their reasons similar or different? This paper critically examines the argument of each of these figures and then identifies the continuity (or discontinuity) between their ideas. Fundamentally, Thatcherism embodies the huge importance given to a small state and free markets. Instead of planning and controlling enterprises and consumerism, the role of the government is to avoid interfering. However, Margaret Thatcher ...

On 4 April 2013, Rehtaeh Parsons attempted suicide after facing months of harassment online. She was taken off life support three days later after she slipped into a coma. Cyberbullying claimed yet another young person. In response to the tragic incident, numerous reports and evidence hunting commenced; the police were not spearheading the operation. It was the media, Rehtaeh’s friends and family, and Anonymous (A hacking community) who were calling the shots. Subsequently, pressure from several quarters in the public and the justice system, a new law came into effect to protect anyone who faced cyberbullying. The law ...

Business Growth and Failure in Marketing

The aspiration of any entrepreneur is to start a business and witness its growth. Nevertheless, some businesses do not live to realize this goal. The concept of starting a business and maintaining the vibrancy of the business is inseparable. Other than rolling the blueprint for the business operation, the management of the business must design effective and successful marketing model in order to sustain the growth of the business. Evidently, the existence of any business depends on the relationship between the business and the target customers as well as internal factors such as management model. Arguing from this lens, the business ...

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution affords "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Eventually, these words attempt to defend two essential freedom goods - the right to privacy and liberty from illogical assaults.
An examination happens when a belief of discretion that people considers reasonable is trespassed by a legislative ...

'Our senses are an unreliable source of information about the world, and thus can never provide us with any certainty in the truth of our beliefs'
The senses are a curious thing. They're the fundamental lens through which humanity - the entirety of the human experience - has been surveyed. Without our senses we are nothing. They provide all the input needed to interact with the physical world, and that interaction is crucial for us to enter the abstract plane of thought. How would one contemplate the sound of water, or the sight of birds in flight without having ...

Essay for Lesson 6: The Holocaust

Introduction
The mere mention of the Holocaust could already arouse eerily suspicious reactions from those who know about it. The idea of systematically slaughtering the Jewish people because of unfounded accusations against their racial inferiority has heaped condemnation against the Holocaust as perhaps one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in human history. Historians would even go as far as asserting that the Holocaust is the most terrible act ever committed against humans, its impact being unparalleled by any other recorded event in human history. While one could assert the foregoing statement as a subject of an intense ...

Maps can be very instrumental in the description of a given geographical period. The most interesting thing about this description is that it is seemingly limitless. This means that maps can be used to describe a wide range of factors that exist in a given geographical zone for example population or the structure of the land in terms of topography and the general outline of the structures of the land if they are natural or manmade. Thus maps are very instrumental as far as the description of a given place is concerned. The following essay focuses on a map titled anti-Semitic incidents in Europe ...

What are the strengths and weaknesses of this response?

Violence in our modern-day society can take a myriad of forms, but its basic definition always includes an unjust or unwarranted exertion of force or power. Since the recent history of domestic violence provides a clear illustration of the social construction of the field of violence, it will serve as a tool to demonstrate the problematic nature of the system of criminal laws when applied to crimes of violence. This essay is designed to outline the strengths and weaknesses of the criminal system’s response to domestic violence in Australia. The first part of the paper provides information essential to the understanding ...

It is scarcely possible to describe the history of music without reaching the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart is well known and celebrated as being one of the greatest composers and musicians in recorded history, and for good reason. Very few individuals in history have had such a profound and pronounced effect on their field as Mozart has, and a testament to this can be read from the symbolism and thematic content of his magnum opus, The Magic Flute. It is an ostensibly light-hearted fairy-tale opera that served as a convenient introduction to the genre and continues to do so more ...

Classical theory of knowledge or epistemology (the scientifically oriented knowledge) informs part of the important areas in philosophy. It addresses such questions as what is knowledge; from where do we get the knowledge? How are our beliefs justified? How do we perceive the world around us? Do we know anything at all? How do we ascertain that we have the knowledge? How do we quantify the knowledge that we have?
What is knowledge? Rene Descartes (rationalist) in his apology to his disciple Plato claimed to be the wisest man in the whole world alive because he knew that ...

In today's comparatively progressive society, the value of established and traditional gender roles are increasingly being reviewed and investigated. Given the long-running activities, rights and perceptions attributed to women over the past several centuries, it is not hard to believe that these traditional roles for women (which are typically subservient to men) are often ardently defended. From the Latino fixture of the quinceanera, to the rampant stigmatization of women's weight, it is clear that women have certain expectations placed upon them that are reinforced by the society around us - women are supposed to go out and find a man ...

The School of Advanced Studies at the University of Phoenix is currently an effectively structured for-profit organization, but it is possible for some streamlining to occur. A more functional organizational structure given to the School of Advanced Studies would permit this department to slowly coordinate its activities across all divisions of the school, leading to higher long-term performance outcomes. In this proposal, we will examine how this particular hierarchy would work, and in what ways the functional organizational structure change of the School of Advanced Studies would improve efficiency in the long term.

As it stands now, the School ...
