Legal arrangement that offers management, distribution, and ownership of property is what is known as trust. Trust that has some terms and provisions that are not possible to change is what is referred to as irrevocable trust. Once a term has been fixed at the beginning of the contract, the guarantor has no power to alter the terms of agreement as it is done in a revocable trust (Thomas, 2013). Many benefits can be enjoyed by taking irrevocable trust. The most common benefits are to minimize tax on the estate, for minor family members, to help those who are financially irresponsible, ...

Ch.5.1 Nature and Nurture are two distinct elements that control and mould our personal development. While one is associated with heredity, the other is associated with the environment where they live. A child’s nature develops at home; from his/her family members, while it is nurtured by the influence of the outside. As a child, there is not much that I did on my own. I would go to school, study, and play with other children till I developed a particular interest in a boy or girl whom I would call my friend. Mrs. Chan was my ...

The use of social media in epidemiological studies remains an area that is viewed with skepticism. Epidemiologists often track disease trends following tip-offs and concerns gathered from traditional channels of information (Garrity, 2011). In this study, the researcher will use social media as a tool for gathering information about the eating and exercise patterns of the participants. The researcher will track the updates and photos put up by the participants on Face Book.

The inclusion of social media as a source of data is hinged on the following reasons: social media attracts millions of young people across the world. With ...

Status offenses entail conduct that is not a crime when it is committed by an adult, but it is a violation of the law if a minor commits them. Some of the examples of status offenses include skipping school, consumption of alcohol, running ways, violating curfew, as well as being beyond parents’ control. If the status offenses were determined according to social rather than the legal definition, there could be a lot of statistical changes in delinquency. It is worth nothing that the delinquency statistics will reduce due to the social view of some of the status offenses.

Social views of status offenses ...

Stealing is looked down upon in society and more often than not, is always talked about in a negative connotation. Stealing may lead to other offensive acts such as lying or hurting other people. However, when people place emotion above reason they may be able to justify stealing in certain circumstances. Regardless of the reason provided, stealing is wrong and must not be encouraged at any cost. The extent of stealing may be debatable and some acts may not be considered as offensive as others, but the fact remains that stealing is unethical and must ...

Variable have different types of classifications like quantitative variable, categorical variable, dependent variable, and independent variables. Independent variables often known as X, is termed as the variable in a statistical relation between two variables. That is seen to be the cause of other variable. However, dependent variables (also known as Y) are variables that that is seen to be an effect.

Introduction

With respect to law of torts, any action carried out intentionally and that results in causing either physical or emotional injury to another person qualifies as an intentional tort. On the other hand, negligence tort entails causing harm or injury to a third party as a result of personal carelessness. According to Arthur and Barner (2007), civil law requires that every individual conduct his or her activities in a manner that induces no harm to surrounding persons. In this context, the need to conduct one’s affairs in a safe manner constitutes the element of duty. Failure to act safely and within expected ...

It is Christmas time. Everybody gets excited to buy new clothes either as a gift for their love ones or for themselves. The biggest problem for a buyer is not what to buy because they know what they want. The conflicting ideas start when one cannot decide where to get the best worth for their money. To ease the strain, people resort to friends and ask their opinion. It can either be where to buy a tie, a suit, children’s clothes or kitchen utensils. All of these mentioned products are available at Brooks Brothers. You can either be in Canada, New York ...

HIV/AIDS has been a menace in the last two decades. Multiple lives have been lost and children left as orphans due to these diseases. One of the major causes for increased transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is unsafe sex. Young couples, especially those that are not committed in their relationships, ought to make sure that they use condoms to prevent transmission of STI’s. One of the alternatives for doing so is through the distribution of condoms to public schools, especially colleges and universities. Young people with access to condoms are more likely to use protection while having sex than ...

Introduction

Underage smoking is one of biggest challenges that the American society has to face. In an effort to curb the crime, adverts are being used to discourage the young people against smoking.

The featured advert looks at the irony that surrounds some of the celebrities and their efforts to curb the vice. Ethos has been applied here by using Philip Morris who is loved by the young people even though what he says is not what he stands for. The title of the advert seeks audience of the young people as they can easily associate with the name. This ...

Young people have a role to play me the Christian ministry. Most of the young populations are enrolled as college or high school students, but this does not mean that they have no role to play in ministering within the Christian ministry. The Christian foundation has to be based on young people who do not only need to know Christ but also understand the ministry of Christ. Young people can play different roles within the Christian ministry.

Richard has e discussed four levels of the Christian Ministry; however the mission level seems to be the most compelling. Yon people have a ...

Age has a biological and social classification. Age distinguishes acceptable behavior for different social groups such as the right to vote and the military enlistment age. The entire course of a human life has different social constructions that occur at different times. The aging population in America occurs due to improvements in life expectancy and advances, in healthcare technology. Schulz (2006) cites that the future projection of the elderly living in Eastern and Western Europe is likely to increase. The regions of Northern America and Oceania will experience an increase in the number of the elderly. The rates of the elderly ...

Question 1

The study is an example of a quasi-experiment; falling specifically into the pretest-posttest design. In such studies, the dependent variable is measured once before treatment implementation and once after treatment implementation ((Saylor Foundation, n.d., p. 176). In this case, the dependent variable is the weight of the obese children which is measured before the 3-month active program and after the program. The weight of the obese children is the medical/psychological problem that needs treatment. The treatment (3-month active program) might be responsible for weight reduction but this may not only be the reason as there are other factors that might ...

Communication evolved numerously in recent years because of scientific progress and technological revolution in the twentieth century. The media have become an essential part in raising public interest regarding issues of the social problems. Media is a major source for the public to get different kind of information regarding all political, cultural and social issues because of the social effectiveness and widespreadness. The media have ability to communicate with the bulk of the community. Different source of media has the potential to influence which does not directly picture the formation of social awareness.

One of the main values in public health involves communicating research results. In order to do this, public health professionals must first have the economical means to perform a research study, and then successfully reporting its results to the scientific community. Writing is a skill that allows professionals to achieve this. Though it can be intimidating for young researchers at first, it is a skill that can be learned through practice. Writing small projects proposals are a great way to gain writing experience within a controlled environment (Penrod, 2003). Three of the most important tips for young writers would be style polishing, writing order, ...

In order to compare sexuality in teen magazines today and compare that with teen magazines of three decades ago, I selected the current issue of the contemporary magazine M Magazine (March, 2014), a magazine directed at teens. To have a standard of comparison, I read a back issue of Seventeen from December 1977.

M Magazine seems to have more sexually charged articles than other articles. If one were reading M Magazine in order to get a grasp of contemporary teenage culture, they would be likely to conclude that teens of today are interested in: what celebrities are doing, who they are dating, tips ...

- 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. People who are pedophilic have a sexual attraction toward minors who are not sexually developed. 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 ...

Plagiarism refers to a wrongful appropriation or stealing publication of the expressions, ideas, thoughts and language of another author and representing them as the original work of someone (PARK, 2003, p. 18). There are different forms in which plagiarism occur. In academia, there are different instances and characteristics of plagiarism. The forms of academic plagiarism often surface among students. The first form of academic plagiarism is the act of students submitting the work of other students as their own. Another form of plagiarism is re-writing the work of somebody else without giving proper citation resources. The third form of plagiarism ...

In the scenario presented, three ethical schools are applicable in providing the best solution(s). The three ethical schools include consequentialist theory, deontological theory and virtue theory. Consequentialist/utilitarian school of thought considers the end of an action, deontological school of thought considers the motive of an action, and virtue theory considers whether the action conforms to what is right.

Coming back to the scenario in question, the decision made by the court has the full backing of ethics. This is because the virtue theory, for instance, evaluates the kind of life an individual wants to live before determining the ...

The debate on whether teenagers should have part-times jobs in the evening and on the weekends is common in the society today. The situation presents both positive and negative sides. This paper seeks to explain the advantages associated with teenage part-time jobs. First, it is worth noting that there is lot of time in the weekends and sometimes in the evenings.

During this time, many teenagers may engage in unproductive activities, such as abusing drugs such as alcohol or other activities detrimental to their development. It is therefore critical to find them some work to do during this free ...

Juvenile Justice or Juvenile Law

A separate juvenile justice for the youth is a 20th century phenomenon that grew out of the lobbying of social reformers (Siegel 2011, p. 561). The establishment of the juvenile system is a good development because it reflects the acknowledgment by society of the distinctions between a child and an adult mind. Adults have fully developed brain systems that allow them to fully understand the implications of their actions. According to Zerubavel (2009) children cannot draw fine lines “between the normal and the perverse” and “between the sacred from the profane” (p. 14). Thus, children generally do not share the ...

Music plays a vital role in the lives of young adults and children in the society. The presence of music is everywhere and is easily accessible through the new technologies allowing diverse listeners. The use of new electronic media permits the children access music that often the parent is unaware. The young adults listen to explicit content and as a result are hooked on drugs and acts of violence. The music that the students listen to is in tandem with their behavior in the society. According to research, popular music has the exposure of violence and sexual messages that has the ...

Summarizing Brian’s position I would like to point out his main statement that Internet causes a big damage for social life of young generation. In my opinion it is not so straightforward. In general I think the question he raises is not groundless but I think that a Internet is very important these days. We have to remember that Internet facilitates connections between people who live in different places and do not have a chance to meet often. Brian claims that spending time with friends in person is rather a rare phenomenon nowadays because social networks swallowed up the communication between young ...

In the past most gang members were people from minority ethnic communities who felt sidelined and threatened by the current mainstream life and sought protection against harsh living conditions thus finding comfort in groups consisting of people from their ethnic community or people in a similar predicament as them. The criterion of gang formation and membership has since changed from minorities and the sidelined seeking protection to more complex and deeply psychological reasons. Increase in gang activities and gang related activities in minority groups especially the African American group residing in the United States has been to a great extent due ...

1. How do we measure the prevalence of drug use in the UK?

The prevalence of drug use in the United Kingdom is measured by surveys conducted amongst the youths of secondary schools years 7-11. The NHS Information Centre in the UK conducts this survey. The survey is done anonymously amongst the schools all across the UK. General household surveys are also conducted. However this is not always an accurate description of drug use due to the fact that most people may not be entirely truthful on a survey or are missed completely because they are not in conventional housing units, thereby not being included in the survey at all.

There are also a ...

In his article “Violent Media is Good for Kids”, Gerard Jones argues that violent media has a positive impact on young people (57). The reason I chose this article is because Gerard uses his own childhood experiences to explain why violent media has a positive impact on young minds. The author tells his story from his own experiences and not from another person’s experience.

Gerard organizes his thoughts systematically. Jones uses the elements of diction, tone and organization and example. He uses words that are conversational. His positive attitude throughout the article makes his readers think equally as he ...

Summary:

These ten letters by Rilke are replies to a young poet in which he encourages the poet to develop a connection to, and an understanding, of his inner creative soul. In these letters, Rilke explores themes related to how creativity, nature and sexuality are interrelated, the importance of living a full life, and the necessity of solitude. These letters can be seen as sort of a guide to life, not merely for creative individuals for just about anyone has the desire to develop a connection with their own humanity.

The rate of teenage pregnancies varies across the globe. This is still a rampant problem in the United States, where an alarming number of teenage girls under the age of 18 are becoming pregnant (Anand & Khan, 2013). This issue of teen pregnancies goes far beyond the social stigma that might come along with the pregnancy, here are three reasons why teenage pregnancies is an issue for the families of those involved:

1. Teenagers cannot support themselves or a child – many teenagers who are pregnant with a child before graduating high school usually are not able to provide for themselves, let ...

A fallacy is an erroneous reasoning or thinking. In logic, an assessment of fallacies is based on arguments and conclusion made from the premise. Fallacies are commonly used by politicians and media outlets to achieve specific goals and interests. In advertisement industry, it is employed to influence consumers’ preferences and boost sales. For example, the popular Taco Bell advert premiered on CBS Television Network on February 3, 2013 contained invalid arguments. The advert titled “Viva Young” was meant to promote the products of the company and popularize its new slogan “Live Mas” which is translated as “ ...

The paper will discuss youth violence, which has been receiving professional attention especially in developed countries such as United States. This will entail how each of the three service delivery models will handle youth violence. These models include medical model, public health model and human services model. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2014), it refers to youth violence as, “harmful behaviors that can start early and continue into young adulthood.” It observes that the youth can be a casualty, wrongdoer or witness of the same. It goes further to explain that it involves ...

Introduction

Selection of materials is an important part of engineering design. Material selection is aimed at increasing the performance as well as the life of the engineering component and hence, very important for success of engineering component. The nature of loading, expected life, working environment amongst other factors determines the material to be selected for a particular application.

Therefore, engineers and designers must determine the properties of materials before they incorporate them in their design. Mechanical properties of materials such as ultimate tensile strength, Modulus of Elasticity, proof stress, specific strength, toughness and density amongst others are some of the important ...

Analyses of Gang Laws Impact Gangs' Membership in Los Angeles

Problem analysis

Just like any other major city, Los Angeles has had a very high level of gang related activities over the years. Unfortunately, the numbers of gang related activities suggest that Los Angeles’s gang problem is significantly higher than most cities in the United States. Notably, researchers argue that it is due to the high numbers of illegal Mexican immigrants who seek shelters in the cities. In addition, activist activities by black idealist also acted a foundation to some of the major gangs that contribute to the numbers in Los Angeles. The streets of downtown Los Angeles are home ...

The truth is that gangs have always existed in our society. They form part and parcel of the underground dealings that define society. This can be attributed to the fact that society has learned to accommodate them. This is so because they serve various functions that even the law enforcement units cannot do (Kinnear 2009). Among them is the fact that they offer protection to their communities aside from self gratification for themselves. The activities they engage in, therefore, benefit the society as well as themselves. Their acts to a huge extent serve to meet their personal needs in order ...

Scenario one

Oral contracts are equally binding and enforceable as written contracts (Thorpe and Bailey, 1999). However, the biggest disadvantage with oral contracts is the difficulty in ascertaining the precise terms should the parties differ. Where the parties are unable to prove their respective positions, the court will have recourse to the intention of the parties. In this scenario, the contract between Vivian and Hicks is oral, and to such extent Vivian can sue for breach of contract. It is however not clear what the terms where. Vivian claims that Hicks agreed to pay for all damages, whereas Hicks says he ...

The juvenile justice system is a foundation in the society which is granted responsibilities and power; it mirrors the adult system of criminal justice in that it also has three basic components like the adult system of justice. Its components are courts, police and corrections. The juvenile justice system brings the juvenile delinquent in contact with the court system if found guilty and the local police. A police officer is the first contact that a juvenile offender has with the juvenile system. He/she is considered the gate keeper of the juvenile system. Police officers are the most visible officials in the ...

According to the New York State Department of Health (2013), the rate of teenage pregnancy in Bronx was 97.4 per every 1,000 teenage females between the ages of 15 and 19 in 2011. That number is significantly lower than the rate of 136.4 pregnancies per 1,000 teenage females, but Bronx alone has the highest prevalence of teenage pregnancies when compared to entire New York City, which recorded a 69.9 teenage pregnancy rate per 1,000 teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19.

According to Kost and Henshaw (2013), teen pregnancy rates in New York are the highest ...

The White Aryan Resistance

The White Aryan Resistance was a Neo-Nazi racist extremist movement that was formed in 1983 and headed by Tom Metzger at Warsaw in Indiana.Its main area of operation was in the States of California, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, and Washington. It is a racist skin head gang. However, some skin head gangs are non-racist (Leet, Rush, & Smith, 2000). The formation of this group was motivated by the idea that whites belong to a superior race to those of nonwhites (Christensen, 1994). As askin head gang, membership comprises mainly of young people aged between 13 to 25 years.

Elizabeth Telfer is absolutely correct in her classification of food as a simple and minor art. Of course, as Telfer points out, food is limited by its transience (24) and that it is considered differently because of “the usefulness of food and drink” (21), but I think she tries to work around this to prove that it does not matter, rather than differentiating food for nourishment and food for an aesthetic experience. She talks about the aesthetics of food (10), but she ignores that there is an element of eating that is purely based on the aesthetic pleasure. People ...

A household comprised of young family and a new baby born is exposed to certain difficulties. Besides the family being a young one, there could be a problem of the level of income. Some of these difficulties include environmental problems that may lead to health problems. These risks factors occur in a series. The family may not be able to cater for the child’s health requirements. Owing to the fact that the environment they live in is not as safe as required, the family is exposed to environmental hazards.

Radicalization is a process through which a person embraces a more radical or extreme approach towards an ideology. The ideology could be political, social or religious, but normally the term radicalization is used to denote embracing those ideologies which rejects the generally accepted norms, notions or values. Prison is a place where radicalization can be triggered easily because, its isolated environment and the lack of distractions, offer the perfect platform for a person to lean towards and adopt an extreme set of ideologies. The inmates who are already radicalized have the ideal opportunity to target a group of young men, who already have had a brush ...

Sioux Falls is the biggest city in the state of South Dakota. South Dakota has one of the highest percentages of cigarette smokers in the country. As per data from CDC for the year 2012, 22% of the South Dakota residents either smoke or use some ...

When a child asks his parents that where did he arrive from, the usual reply is god, carriage, heaven, and the clouds. Such vague answers often mislead children which further complicate their perceptions about sexuality.

This makes it a sensitive subject which requires to be dealt carefully because of the positive as well as negative effects which are associated with sexuality. In this regard, the tool of delivering information regarding human sexuality involving anatomy of ...

In this article, Laura Miler analyses the evolution of girls’ writing culture in Japan and elucidates on its growth and contribution to the Japanese linguistics. She does this by examining a note scribbled by a young student in her Graffiti photo. Girl graphs, she says, has been heavily influenced by the internet culture and many of the new syllabic characters used by young Japanese girls, are borrowed from English, Roman and even Egyptian hieroglyphs. She observes how the growing usage of mobile phones has further fuelled the inherent interest in innovative script writing among Japanese school girls. The desire for secrecy ...

The issue of gangs has been one that has been of concern in the United States for the past 50 years. Many methods and techniques have been designed and formulated to try and curb this social vice. However, I believe that the most effective ways to curb this social menace is through the use of sociological techniques that handle the human aspect of the young ones ensnared in it. As the police chief, I believe that a number of the proven techniques can work for our society.

I believe that “Social Intervention” is one of the most effective techniques ...

Raphael’s The Woman with a Veil (1516)

Raphael’s painting, The Woman with a Veil (1516), exemplifies the values of the Renaissance. This portrait in particular shows a young lady elegantly dressed. A cream-colored veil descending down past her shoulders down her back neatly covers her brown hair. The exquisite detailing of her dress and veil exhibit the attention to detail for which Renaissance painters are known.

She has a few strands of curly hair that are not tucked into her hairdo. Attached to her head band that holds the veil in place is one pearl that stands out against her dark hair. The red of her lips is ...

Defining Terrorism

Defining terrorism is a very complex issue, the importance of which cannot be overstated in the world today. The problem with declaring a “War on Terror” is that there is no catch-all definition of what constitutes terrorism (O’Kane, 2007). Most people have a very general idea of what terrorism looks like; it is easy to describe an act as terrorism once it has occurred, but it is very difficult to define terrorism as a whole before it happens.

A good definition of an act of terrorism is, arguably, an act, often a violent act, whose purpose is to terrify, scare, or otherwise ...

The article provides us with information about two separate studies conducted by Ernst and Young and University of Florida in 2002. Both studies analyze the causes and effects of inventory shrinkage in US retail industry.

According to the statistics, retailers loose at around 1.7% of their total annual sales on average due to inventory shrinkage, which includes shoplifting, employee theft and various errors.

In my opinion, inventory shrinkage is a serious problem to modern retail industry, as it significantly affects profitability of the company and its key indicators and results in consumer losses because of increased prices.

Firstly, inventory shrinkage ...

The enthymeme “e-Marketing should be included as a marketing and sales strategy in business because if offers more efficient techniques than traditional marketing” (Kwon, “e-Marketing,” 1) helped determine the organization of my essay by setting forth the deduction I was arguing and focusing my argument on the right subjects. My conclusion was that e-marketing should be included in a business strategy. My major premise, unstated, was that the best marketing was efficient marketing. My minor premise, stated, was that e-marketing is more efficient than traditional marketing. My major premise is not controversial so I spent a great portion of ...
