The principle of habeas relief originated from the English legal system. It excludes a named person with the force of law to be excluded from court proceedings that lack sufficient cause and legally acceptable evidence. A motion of habeas relief enables a federal court to review the proceeding from a state court and determine the competency of the case. It is usually sought by a parry that feels aggrieved by the nature of the court proceedings.

The studies in this unit were quite educational in trying to inform readers about the fashion industry. The readings also give readers a rough idea of the fashion industry’s influence on what people dress. I could not adjust my dressing style since I do not agree that the fashion industry controls everyone’s sense of fashion. I do my best to look good and I’m rarely affected by the mass’s sense of fashion (72 words).

Within the reality of fashion, I employed the theories on conscious consumption, social imaginations and collective conscience to argue my stand. When ...

1. Is current criminal justice system female?

The current criminal justice is female (Karson, 1998). I will base my arguments on some of the past facts which have eroded most of the female contributions to the criminology system. First is the ancient Greece. When an individual committed murder during this period, he/she was to be punished by the daughters of the Mother of the Night. The daughters were by Titan, a female supernatural being. In Egypt, wrongdoers were punished by Sekhmet, the goddess of punishment and protector against evil (Purpura, 1996).

In astrology, Taurus the female ascendant gave rise to various bull religions in the Middle East ...

How much influence should the committee have in the overall management structure?

Organization structure set the functions, culture, relationship and responsibility of every department and workers in the organization. Therefore, the committee influence should be restricted to the mandate and jurisdiction of the department. Since, the structure set the functions and the role of the committee; the committee influence should be felt on its functions and the role it is supposed to accomplish. As such, the committee should do its work and hand over to the product of its work to the overall management (Loucks et al., 2011).

Introduction

Culture has a great influence on the development of our self-identity. Various factors that include; tightness, complexity and individualism versus collectivism found in culture, influence a person’s personality traits. Individualistic cultures emphasize independence, development of self-goals and competitiveness (Matsumoto, 2001). Collectivistic cultures, require an individual to belong to a certain group. Group goals are the priority and one’s behavior is expected to conform to what is acceptable in the group. Collectivist cultures embrace working together whereas in individualistic cultures individuals are self-reliant. A lot of studies suggest that the big 5 personality trait emerge from a variety of cultures.

Prevention strategies prevent crimes. Crime prevention is a concept applied to combat criminal activities through the development of crime prevention programs and strategies. For example, in cases where there are lower levels of crime in communities, lower offending laws and in reoffending by individuals. In crime prevention, researchers examine the influence of formal and informal social mechanisms of control focusing on the influence of family, peers, school and work. In addition, crime prevention strategies target different levels and needs for individuals, parochial and public action in preventing crime. But for any of these strategies to have a long effect, it should ...

The amino acid is a hydrophobic and aromatic essential amino acid. The compound is relatively non-reactive because of the benzene ring in its structure. Since it is nonpolar, the amino acid does not dissolve in water. Due to its hydrophobic nature, the amino acid is buried in the hydrophobic core of protein structures. However, the aromatic side chain in the structure of the amino acid affects protein structure by staking with the aromatic side chains of other amino acids. The side chain of the amino acid is relatively non-reactive and as such is not often involved in the functions of ...

For more than 50 years, psychologists and other scientists have been studying the effects of media on the development and growth of adolescents.

What are the arts for? (For the purposes of this paper, consider “arts” to be the same as visual culture and to cover anything produced with a visual design aspect to it).

Visual culture is an important aspect of any society and the arts, particularly the visual aspect have been part of man’s civilisation since time immemorial. Even the first prehistoric man used visual drawings and graphics to depict certain situations and episodes in his life and these have been preserved in caves and on buildings and artefacts which have been discovered after thousands of years. The recent centuries have seen art develop substantially and one may arrive at the conclusion that art is a representation of a particular moment and can also be described as the identity of a particular society.

The power dependence relation is a simple theory developed to explain the concepts of power, authority, leadership, influence, dominance and status. These terms are commonly used in social situations, politics and business, yet most individuals do not understand their meaning. Despite the existence of extensive research in this area, Emerson (1962) feels that there is a misconception regarding social power. This flaw in thinking is best demonstrated by the common thought that power is attributable to a specific power or group of people. This misconception raises the question of the power structure in society and the aspect of power as property.

It is human nature to socialize. People go out and meet people with the intention of improving themselves and to belong to family groups. The presence of other people in one’s life influences the person in more ways than one. This is best described in social psychology which explains the effects on a person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions that other people, whether they are real or imagined, have (Feist & Rosenberg, 2012). When we are with people, we tend to act differently than when we are alone. At times, people around us influence us positively and sometimes we ...

- Which, if any, of your food choices were influenced by emotions (happiness, boredom, or disappointment, for example)?

While I chose to eat the specific food items which I consume daily, at the evening I felt like having a chocolate. I soon went out to the store and grabbed one from there. I relished it on my way back. In retrospect, I believe that I made the choice of going for a chocolate as I was feeling quite bored sitting at home all day and playing computer games. The chocolate made me get over the boredom and I felt happy.

Corporate culture is a set of beliefs, values, norms, goals and ways of finding solutions, shared by the employees (members) of any organization(Schein, 2010). An organization culture provides the employees the meaning and the internal rules of behavior. When these beliefs, rules, customs and norms have been accepted, shared and circulated within the organization they represent the culture of the organization. The culture of an organization greatly influences ethical decision making process within the organization.

1. Explain the types of mistakes and the types of misrepresentation which can give rise to a court being required to interpret a contract. What remedies are appropriate to each type?

In the law of contracts, mistake refers to the belief in a set of facts or fact that is erroneous and, therefore, not available. Mistake often arises in relation to the conditions and terms of the contract. One or both of the parties to the contract may rely on a fact or set of facts as forming the conditions or terms of the contract. In circumstances where it is later obtained that the set of facts was erroneous, they are held as mistakes in contract. There are two broad categories of mistakes depending on the parties involved.

Motivation is a goal oriented factor either internal or external that stimulates energy and desire to continue being interested and committed to service. It is an impulse that causes a person to act or move towards achieving a goal. Motivation results from an interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors like individual or peer expectations, intensity to need or desire, or rewards and incentives attached towards goal achievement (Daft and Lane, 2008). Motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic; the former is an act for an activity alone while the latter is an act intended for external rewards. Most forms of motivations are ...

Question One: Types of Mistakes and the Types of Misrepresentation

These mistakes include the unilateral mistake and the mutual mistake, which is also referred to as common mistake. Establishing that there was a mistake in the contract makes the court render the contact as void ab ...

Consequently, different organizations are affected differently by the environmental factors, depending on their size and type of industry. Environmental factors can basically be grouped into technological, political, socio-cultural and economical factors. All of these factors influence an organization’s marketing strategy in dissimilar ways. Initially, technology has largely impacted on the nature of marketing merchandises ...

Managing people is a complex task as there are no specific rules that could make sure that people would behave in the most appropriate manner (Henry, 1995). The behavior of the individual is difficult to predict and with organizations increasingly focusing on diversity in the workforce, this is creating more difficult for organizations to manage people. With more people belonging from diverse background in organizations today, it has resulted in increasing complexities in managing people (Foot, & Hook, 2011).

How systems theory can be used to propel the field of public health to the next level.

Improving people’s health entails understanding and changing societal functions and structures, while at the same time countervailing forces that undermine these changes. This, in turn, reflects the adaptive intricacy inherent in public health systems (Von Bertalanffy, 2004). Due to the changing times, improving public health will need a greater understanding of the intricate adaptive systems that are involved in both instigating and cracking public health concerns. For instance, containing and preventing the pandemic influenza will require partnership across a wide array of fields and disciplines, including global reconnaissance to prevent further outbreaks.

They go against their actions, requests and even ideas, not because they are bad but because they do not like or see eye to eye with the other person. This occurs because they cannot in modern society go to arms and fight; therefore they go against each other’s ideas with the ...

In the international system, the state is considered as the most fundamental unit of governance.

This is because the world today has become interconnected such that there is no single nation that can operate on its own. Therefore, it is important to look at how leaders influence in shaping national institutions that have both ...

If someone has high self-efficacy, then they are more likely to participate in activities and behavior that will further their goals and desires. On the other hand, those with low self-efficacy doubt their ability to perform many tasks, and often lack commitment and motivation to perform tasks. ...

In addition, the leaders should allow employees to give their ideas that can assist the organization. Howard Schultz reports that good leadership involves observation of ...

Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss how cartoon violence affects behavioral patterns in childhood. Several researchers have confirmed that visual media can affect the behavioral development in children because they learn social norms by following examples from social agents. Cartoons are a part of the visual media industry, and that is one of the major social agents that shape perspectives, rules, and norms in society. However, data analysis indicates that cartoons for children are frequently disguised as fantasy stories, but they promote more violence than programs focused on older audiences. Chronic exposure to violence through cartoons implicates normal psychological development ...
