The Reality of “Accepted Truths” Today

The Reality of “Accepted Truths” Today

Introduction

Studying political science necessitates critical thought on the status of “accepted truths” as applied to contemporary American politics in comparison to its past. Review of the literature whether this remains an appropriately assigned characteristic of American politics as recognized forty years ago frames the discourse of the scholastic task presented in this document. Von Eckardt (1995) advises “The truth of an argument alone makes it convincing (when it is) undeniable or self-evident, that is, evident by its own terms and definitions, it forms one of the axioms of politics (Von Eckardt, 1959, p. ...

What are the characteristics of a population for which a mean/median/mode would be appropriate? Inappropriate?
The mean, median and mode are collectively known in statistics as measures of central tendency. A measure of central tendency is a numerical or categorical value that is supposed to be the middle-ground or center or average description of the entire data set whether obtained from a sample or the data population. Measures of central tendency are also known as summary statistics or measures of central location precisely because they describe the population data on the average across a wider range of values.
The mean is the ...

Pauper labor argument is a view that has been presented in that a country with high wages loses when it imports from another country, which has low wages since it will presumably low wages in such a country. However, the view ignores the aspects of low and high productivity in a country, in the determination of the wages paid in any country. The countries with high productivity will have a competitive edge over the countries with low productivity, hence gaining from the trade. The concept states that when a country imports goods from an economy where the workers are lowly paid, it affects workers standards ...

Summary: The study titled: “The Role of Prefrontal Inhibition in Regulating Fascial Expression of Pain.”, examines the role of pre frontal cortex in the control of fascial expression of pain (Karmann et al.). Expression of pain is determined by a certain factor in the environment (like the availability of caregiver) and also on factors that exist within an individual. Expressing pain is a form of communicating once feelings to others. Understanding expressions may help in assessing the pain in a patient (Craig). Presently, assessment of pain in an individual, is done based on the verbalization of pain by the ...

Binomial distribution

When do we use the binomial distribution?
The binomial distribution is very useful when there are very many trials conducted in an experiment, say n, and we want to get the probability of finding success where each number of successes has a given probability of occurrence. The probability of success is denoted by p while that of failure is the complement, i.e. (1-p) (Collani & Dräger, 2011). The binomial distribution gives some of the probabilities that are associated with repeated Bernoulli independent trials.

There are four basic types of data: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio.

Ratio data is quantitative data. For ratio data we can obtain all three basic measures of central tendency: mode, median and mean. Moreover, we can obtain both geometric mean and arithmetic mean from this kind of data.
Interval data is also quantitative data. For interval data we can obtain all three basic measures of central tendency: mode, median and mean. But here we can calculate only arithmetic mean.
Ordinal data is qualitative data. For ordinal data we can obtain only median and mode. Mean is not acceptable measure.

Abstract

This essay is about pauper labor argument – what does it mean and why it is considered as wrong way of interpreting median earning of workers in the USA. This argument that American captial must be protected against European ‘pauper’ captial and its workers’ ‘pauper labor’. It used to be very popular argument of American protectionism specially but soon it was discovered as a fallacy for its innumerous inconsistencies. Some authors believe that even the name of this argument is wrong – they believe that paupers are those who receive help while people from ‘pauper labor’ countries are producing good and receiving ...

1. The mean of the bottling Company Case Study is 475.62(sum of all ounces of the bottles that were randomly selected on all three shifts)/30(amount of bottles that were randomly selected on all three shifts)=15.85(mean/average of ounces).
When evaluating the median of an even data set the two middle numbers are added together and the mean of those two numbers is taken. In this case, the median of the Bottling company case study is 15.98 + 16.00 = 31.98/2 = 15.49. the median is 15.49.

The standard deviation is calculated as

σ = √[ ∑(x-mean)^2 / N ]

Today, the economics of the world is more dynamic and unpredictable than never before. This dynamism in turn significantly affects the standing of the countries in the world by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita ranking (Pasquali, 2015; The World Bank Group, 2016). Every year, the ranking looks different, but these fluctuations are so volatile that they may occur even over a span of a month. While some countries gain rank and others fall off their position, there is no telling that countries at the top of the list are well the most influential nations in the world today. ...

Introduction
According to the median voter theorems there are two main principles which can help us count and measure the amount of voters that vote for one candidate as well as to predict the outcome of the election on the ground of various primary polls.
So the first key principle is that if parties or candidates want to win, they should orient on the median voters. The second key aspect suggests that people will choose will vote for such an alternative, which is the most closest and similar to their prospective.

The picture describes in what directions should two parties, organisations or candidates move according to the median voter theorem (Congleton).

Q1. (a) What is the difference between descriptive statistics and inferential statistics?

Descriptive statistics refers to statistical procedures that are used to analytically describe a population that is being studied. The data used for such purpose might be obtained from a sample of the intended population. Organization and description of the data is based on the results obtained during the study.
Inferential statistics is the process production of inferences or predictions about a population based on observations and analysis of the sample being investigated. The sample results generated are then generalized to account for the whole population from the sample was obtained.
(b) Provide an example for each.

Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

I am working towards becoming a training and development manager. I harbor the belief that all capable individuals should assist their colleagues to achieve their optimum potentials. Ideally, a fortunate or less informed individual should be willing to assist the less informed or the less fortunate ones. An individual’s weakness should not be a basis for discrimination or despise. Instead, it should be a valuable opportunity for one to build greater and more desirable competencies for another person. Where an individual shows the desire and willingness to develop other people’s talents, they also benefit themselves in one ...

Summary: The interaction between the limbic system and the subcortical dopaminergic system, is important in the experience of reward by the individual. The hypothesis in the present study is that, increased excitability of the medial prefrontal cortex, exerts a suppressive effect on the interaction between subcortical dopaminergic system and the limbic striatum structures (Ferenczi et al.). Lack of a reward seeking behavior is seen in patients with depression and MRI studies in these subjects have identified increased excitability of the medial prefrontal cortex. This finding was suggested as a rationale for the study. The experiments were designed to demonstrate ...

Why do Some Students Fail to Finish College in the U.S.?

Introduction

One of the major reasons why there are individuals who could not attend or finish college is poverty. In the United States, for example, poverty is the biggest hindrance to successfully completing college. Over the past several years, college tuition has increased dramatically. As compared to other primary goods, tuition fee increases almost twice as much while the average income of the majority remains almost the same. In just two decades, it has been observed that college tuition fees have increased by 500% while basic commodities increased only ...

Meaning of Neighborhood Stabilization Program

NSP (Neighborhood Stabilization Program) is an initiative established by the U.S Congress with the objective of stabilizing communities that have been subjected to property abandonment and foreclosures. This program was initiated under Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, and it was intended to repurchase and redevelop the abandoned and foreclosed properties and homes (Neighborhood, 2016). Low- income individuals who default to service their mortgages usually have their residential property repossessed by the lenders. People are evicted from their homes, resulting in abandonment and foreclosure of the property. Such property would remain under the ownership of private lenders after ...

I was familiar with descriptive statistics before this course. We all are acquainted with mathematical calculations and descriptive statistics is based on calculations. In statistics, the data are clustered around a given set of observations so to analyze we use the measure of center, variability and shape . These are common methods of statistical calculations that are used in day to day life. For example ,we are familiar with the calculation of average of numbers. This is mean in statistics which is a part of measurement of central tendency (Triola,80).

The decision on whether to invest money or deposit it in a savings account is influenced by many factors. However, the most significant factor would be the economic gain from depositing money in a savings account compared to investing. Various indicators can be used to determine the economic gain to be made in terms of purchasing power. One vivid indicator is the real interest rate. Real interest rate as an economic indicator describes the rate at which an individual’s purchasing power grows from investing activities. The real interest rate is derived from adjusting the nominal interest rates in ...

Introduction

The twin deficits hypothesis claims that government budget deficits cause current account deficits. To understand how this is possible, a breakdown of the hypothesis is useful: firstly, the national account identity tells that the income of a country (GDP) comes from the monetary amount of private (household) consumption, the government’s consumption, and the investment. Given that a large part of economies is nowadays, open one adds to the consumption side the monetary value of exports and subtracts the imports, as they are goods and money which leave the economy. Very intuitively, a government budget deficit arises when the ...

Percentile data point can be applied to evaluating the scores of students who took the different tests. If most students who took form B are on the lowest percentile while students who took Forms A and C then it implies that the test was the hardest. However, if there is no unique pattern of the distribution of students who took the different forms, then there is no evidence that Form B was the hardest. The student’s argument will be wrong.

Relative poverty is a measure of standard of living of an individual or a group of persons relative to the people they live around within the area. It may also be the minimum amount that a person or an individual requires in order to maintain an average standard of living. On the other hand, absolute poverty is a measure of poverty that is based on a set standard and is the same in all countries. The standard does not change over time and may involve living below certain measure poverty such as $1 a day.

The economic activities of companies operating domestically cannot but prove beneficial to the home county. Manipulating large working capital, often having the high rate of liquidity, and generating significant revenue, large ventures naturally are great producers. As such, they contribute to the gross domestic product of a country increasing the overall output picture, as may be seen in the case of Canada and the USA home to large and successful multinational and domestic companies. Besides the GDP, a litmus paper of economic growth, the coefficient of value of large companies is measurable through different economic development indicators. Large companies do pay ...

Introduction

Somewhere around the midst of the twentieth century, policymakers, and activists were anxious about the decline of the inner city across the United States. The reason was that the people with money were going for the suburbs. However, the widespread reports and notions of the demise of American cities proved to be untrue. At the start of 1970s (What is Gentrification 2003), the urban life began to revive, and one finds most of the cities thriving once more and with more vigor. What we find here is Gentrification. It means the arrival of a wealthier lot in the already existing ...

- Pay Caps Debate: They Don't Go Far Enough.
The article describes executive compensation and argues that changes are not a dangerous intrusion into a corporate boards’ authority. Furthermore it argues that large remunerations are not necessary for financial firms to fill executive positions. Firms still have performance based compensation to make up for any salary reduction and there is no cap on total pay. The only firms affected are those with “generally available government programs” and “exceptional assistance”. The government is requesting “say on pay” for shareholders and cash restricted shares when money is paid back to the government ...

Brief History of Each Area
Baltimore was established as a county in 1659 and David Jones who owned 380 acres of land in 1661 first settled it. The most attractive and important aspect ion determining the location of the city was the geology at the mouth of the Patapsco River forming the Port of Baltimore, which was later changed to Inner harborHarbor. The large number of farmers from the surrounding areas significantly motivated the city. Water flowing to the Patapsco fall line was efficient for driving mills the heavy tobacco farming in the surrounding areas resulted in many shipments ...
