The two competing economic systems are capitalism and socialism. In Adam Smith’s Capitalism, there are three vital concepts; the economy is driven by selfish desire for luxury goods, economic balance is achieved through a self-regulating invisible hand, and the government’s role in a nation’s economic system should be limited . In Karl Marx’s socialism, there are three main features; in a capitalist system, workers are alienated from their labor, in capitalism, there is a class struggle between the working class and the business owners, and workers must improve their situation by revolting against capitalist ...

In a research initiated in 2002, the author said that the optimal motivation to leadership is the desire of an individual to serve . A servant leader like the Jesus Christ emanates this attribute. In fact, anyone who wishes to follow the teachings of Christ should have the heart for serving their brethren without expecting anything in return .

We have seen a lot of leaders who serve for the purpose of self-aggrandizement. Some would go to remote areas to build house for the aborigines, to distribute relief goods for the victims of calamities and some donate hospitals, schools and facilities claiming this ...

- What did you learn about Pedophilia?

Pedophilia can be described as an abnormal sexual behavior of a human being. While the sexual attraction of an individual toward someone from the opposite or same sex is accepted and understandable, pedophilia is taken to be an abnormal form of sexual desire.

The minors are subjected to the sexual acts as the pedophilic person acts as an active partner or participant in the sexual act.

Pedophilia is an abnormal state of the human sexual desire, and there are ...

The term love has been used in its broadest sense, but, used to refer to individuals who posses tender feelings for the others, and would not want any harm befalling their loved ones.

Phaedrus in Plato’s symposium holds that love deserves more recognition as a god that has significant influence on the course of our lives. He places love in the position of a deity, as old as the earth itself.

On the ability of love to inspire positive action, Phaedrus creates a link ...

In normal people, sexual response has four phases namely: desire, arousal, and orgasm and resolution respectively (Montgomery, 2008). Sexual motivation and desire and sexual wish are the chief components of phase one. These components are the psychological, biological and social aspects of sexual response. On the other hand, phase two is triggered by psychological and physiological stimulation. Phases three and four occur only after the first two phases have been fulfilled.

There are, however, two forms of sexual desire disorders: sexual aversion disorder (SAD) and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). These disorders occur in a small percentage of the general ...

"Say Who I Am" by Maria Fusco

Maria Fusco, in her article/podcast "Say Who I Am," she makes some very good points about reimagining objects of art and writing around them. There is often a tendency in academic writing, particularly about the arts, to unravel the object, and to demonstrate that we understand the meaning or importance of the object. However, what Fusco argues is that we need to insert ourselves into our understanding of the object, and write about it academically by inserting our own biases and interpretations into it. In this way, the reader gets a part of ourselves from the piece as well, ...

Feminism is a complex concept that is not easy to define. It is an ideology that brings together several different subcategories that uniquely differ from one another.

As observed by Anna Katsavos in her interview, Carter believes that the view of the female gender is negative with their role being less than ideal to an extent that does not please nor give them glory (Carter and Katsavos 12). In her earliest ...

Introduction

Child development is a crucial process that considers different nuances. In the process of development, a child faces a variety of issues that require constant motivation and guidance. Ideally, the life of a child revolves around motivation and achievements. Motivation in child development refers to the act of arousing a person or a being into appropriate actions with a goal that is desirable in mind. In the child, several actions and goals lay in the future. Learning becomes a vital aspect in this case. Motivation, therefore, dwells upon appropriating critical desires to perform an action. Motivation can either be intrinsic (internally driven) or extrinsic (environmentally driven). ...

The word “advertise” comes from the Latin word “adverto” which means to “to turn one’s attention to something” (Espejo, 2010). In an effort to turn consumers’ attention to their products, advertisers have used men’s and women’s bodies in part or whole to market and advertise everything from car tires to brassieres. The major effect of such advertisements is to give women and men some unrealistic notions of what is sexually appealing and how they ought to look like (Gill, 2008).

The retina is one of most important part of the eye and among the most affected part as the person ages.

Summary of leadership philosophy

Every leader in society or organization has their personal approach and perception towards doing things. Leadership must be guided by specific philosophies that provide direction on how to achieve the desired results and performance. A leadership philosophy is quite different from leadership styles or models. A leadership philosophy focuses on how a leader behaves and his characteristics. It is the detailed kind of leadership a certain leader offers to his subjects. The philosophy I hold towards leadership is a combination of two philosophies. My leadership philosophy is to offer leadership that is based on ethics, servants and values.

The survival of the modern economy depends on a neverending stream of consumption. This is why cars do not last as long as they used to, it is why the cost of a new television is not significantly higher than the cost of television repair, and it is why restaurants continue to proliferate across the map, hopping from retail corner to retail corner to chase families down before they can get home and cook their own meals. This trend began in the wake of the Great Depression; while it was largely the mobilization of industry for World War II that brought ...

Why, according to Xenophon, are human beings so difficult to rule?

It is, indeed, difficult to rule human beings. Such is because of the fact that human beings possess the ability to reason, which enables them to become highly susceptible to their desires and decisions. In that case, they become very hard to rule because they do not follow instructions coming from others apart from them right away. For them to follow someone who is sending out orders to them, they have to use their reasoning powers to discern whether such orders are compatible with their line of thinking. Thus, an effective ruler of humans is one that possesses great ...

1. The word “philosophy” means in Greek “the love/pursuit of wisdom” – considering the first Greek philosophers (the Pre-Socratics), what propelled them to pursue a new kind of “wisdom”? What were they unsatisfied with?

The pre-Socratic philosophers were referred to as physiologoi, meaning physical or natural philosophers. They sought to provide natural and rational justifications for various occurrences. The “essence of things” propelled them to pursue new king of wisdom by posing questions such as; where does everything come from? Can nature be explained mathematically? From what does everything emanate? As such, their concerns were ontology, mathematics, and cosmology. They were unsatisfied with the mythological explanations to the occurrences that were being experienced during their time and sought to provide reasoned explanations to natural occurrences.

In a control system, the interest is maintaining the system in a steady state irrespective of the input into the system. In achieving this aim, the system is designed to constantly check for deviations from this goal and apply the corrective measures to keep the system steady when there are deviations from the steady state. The device that ensures this desired output is a controller. The overall aim of using a controller in a system is thus to maintain the stability of such a system in the face of deviations (errors) from a desired output.

Controllers are used in a feedback system because of the need to ...

The neoclassical theory of the firm explains that firms are run entirely for the profit motive of its owners.

Part A: 1: Stay and do nothing

In my opinion I will adopt this attitude in a situation where I either don’t have any personal interest or the responsibility of the situation is upon someone else. This attitude best suits these two situations due to the reasons that we should not try to get involved in some situation for changing anything where we don’t have any interest as we can get into trouble from any negative outcome of the involvement. Similar is the case when someone else is responsible for the outcomes of any approach in a situation.

An example of such situation include a workplace where a ...

Strategy formulation is the task of a manager in every institution hence it is a requirement ...
