As we have witnessed in the institutions that include the schools, businesses, hospitals work place and government agencies, there differences in the way we perceive race, gender and class. I concur with the writer that social institutions are mostly controlled by white elites. The symbolic dimension comprises of the use of stereotyping and image control in description of diverse class, race, and gender. The masculine are considered to be aggressive, leaders, intellectual rational and strong as opposed to the passive, follower, emotional, and week feminine. Aggressive black and the Hispanic are not expected to show such behaviors although, are masculine. ...

Introduction

Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1). Haedr (2012) considered the mediation effect of management accounting information on motivation using contingency theory stating that “MAI usefulness accounts for a full (i.e. complete) mediation effect only on the relationship between centralization and MCS effectiveness.” (n.p.). As the number of views cannot present a unified opinion on the matter, the purpose of the current paper to reveal whether the functions of the ...

Introduction

In any society, race and ethnicity are common issues. Racism is the discrimination of people on racial basis. Races include, Black, Chinese, Polynesian, and Indian. On the same note, ethnicity is the aggravated discrimination established on ethnic grounds. The ethnic circumstances may be regional in nature. Racism and ethnicity can be viewed from perspectives which are: Individual and Societal. It is in the appreciation of the works of Feagin and Feagin’s discussions that we come to the conclusion that these perspectives form a conclusive illustration on race and ethnicity issues. In this study, therefore, I objectively purpose to bring ...

Fall 2014
Years back, while at the age of eight, I went through a tough experience that still lingers in my mind today. These events took place on the beaches along the Pacific coast where I almost drowned. It occurred during my family’s vacation when my parents decided that we should spend time at the coast together. At the beach, the waters seemed calm. Without my parents’ permission or watch, I decided to venture deeper into the continental shelf. Suddenly, a huge wave appeared from nowhere, swept me off balance and its backwash dragged me further into the deeper ...

The topic on the existence of God is perhaps one of the most equivocal topics that have generated an immense debate amongst various population segments all around the globe. In fact, this topic has evolved into one of the most contentious topics all over the globe. Notably, there exists various arguments postulated regarding the existence of God. Nonetheless, the ontological argument devised by Anselm on Gods existence is perhaps one of the most substantive arguments that support that notion on Gods existence. Anselm’s argument on God’s existence asserts that Gods existence is indeed true based on the ...

The medical challenge in the part of low back pain (commonly abbreviated as LBP) is on an increase. Due to requirement of attention it costs the economy dearly where the value of cost is in both time and money. Diagnosis methods and equipment, and medical improvements have been seen, but still LBP remain a menace, with the worst part being that number of patients are increasing per unit time. Developed countries face the problem of an equal magnitude to that of developing countries in this. America is also facing an economic challenge due to LBP even after large ...

Psychology
In any normal society, there is a given code on how people within eh society are supposed to behave. People who deviate from this code are often termed as retards or people with mental disorders. Mental health is, therefore, of great importance for an individual to function normally in a given society. However, psychologists have tried over the years to come up with an explanation of how these mental disorders come about. Based on arguments by Fromm, Horney, and Eriksson, it is evident that the mental disorders are greatly defined by the ‘inability of an individual to act in ...

Any study focusing on religion should begin with a definition of the concept. However, the term religion assumes different meaning depending on perspective of people. In his book, Religion in society: A sociology of religion, Johnstone Ronald takes a sociological perspective in defining religion. The author defines religion as “a system of beliefs and practices by which a group of people interprets and responds to what they feel as sacred and, usually supernatural as well” (Johnstone 13). Johnstone derives the meaning of religion from the Latin word ‘Religare’ meaning, ‘to bind together,’ pointing to the concept of fellowship or a group (7). The definition ...

Introduction

Part of the meaning of marketing looks at effective profit strategies. Hiring additional salespeople to market the managed care plan more aggressively to pick up enrollment showing below the forecasted level for the original target date remains a one dimensional profit strategy characterized by its own inconsistencies. The inconsistencies between this decision to maximize profit in this manner compared to an evolutionary marketing perspective centers on best practices having more than one strategy connected to external factors and the long range - larger picture connected to resources and life cycle states of the product.

Speech Analysis – Representations of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestine Conflict is a complex political situation spanning nearly a century, with great divides in ideology and perspective on either side of this escalating situation. In the wake of sectarian violence and widening gulfs in culture and religion, it is difficult to find a way out of this process. The road to peace is a rocky one, and nowhere is this more acutely exemplified than in the rhetoric of the respective representatives at the UN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Through their respective addresses to the United States Congress and the United Nations, the differences in perspective ...

The story of the three little pigs has been used to show or indicate issues that can be related to the human world. The characters indicate different personalities of individuals. The authors indicate that the wolf is fueled by greed to conduct his actions of killing the pigs. All the writers indicate that form of oppression exists.
Gomez (1999) indicates “The classic story of a worker’s revolt against the tyranny of a bullying capitalist wolf” Gomez tries to portray the picture that the weak are oppressed by those in power. Further, the author shows how people react to situations ...

Introduction
Successful leadership is characterized by the manner in which the leaders manage difficult times. Most leaders ranging from those in businesses to those working in the public setting have undergone and put up with traumatic situations. The ability to learn from every negative experience and soldering on to making great leaders is what makes the difference. Thomas and Bennis(2001) refer to these challenges of leadership as “the crucibles of Leadership.” A crucible is a transforming occurrence of a person from an old perspective to a new sense of individuality. For a leader to grow and develop out of the crucibles, ...

Paradigms

A paradigm is a system of belief or theory that serves as guide to the way we do things or, our value and beliefs (Stolley, 2005). Paradigm may range from patterns of thought to action .Paradigms are seen as perspectives that allow social scientists to have broad range of tools to describe society, and to create hypotheses and theories(Stolley ,2005). Paradigm only describes a given phenomenon they can neither occur nor happen in the society for it is just a view point. Paradigm perspectives include conflict paradigm, functional paradigm and symbolic paradigm .In this essay I am going to look at ...

For this assignment I will be defining the tern Afrocentric. Many people around the world have had a negative connotation in reference to this terminology. However, it is important to look at the structure of our world today. The international system lacks a global police who can be able to regulate the actions of states. This means that the world lacks a central authority that can act as a control of different facets of the world. Nations have used their economic and military might to conquer other nations in order to access the necessary resources as well as fulfill other desired interests. Based ...

Part One

The social reform perspective is effective for adult learners as it involved the transformational learning as well as a critical reflection (Nesbit, 2005). I prefer the social reform perspective because it depends on experiences that help transform the beliefs of an individual from old ways of understanding to new perspectives. As an adult, there are various new habits and beliefs that I have learnt as a result of undergoing adult learning through the perspective. However, the nurturing perspective should be used initially then a follow up by the social reform perspective. The purpose of adult education mainly focuses on ...

Summary of text

In Eberle and Cuneo's "Religion and Political Theory," the authors seek to explore the role of religion in an increasingly liberal democratic, secular political world. At the same time, religion seems to be increasing in scope and influence in the political spectrum, with religious pluralism instead of strict atheism driving political decisions. The relationship between three distinct groups in the political world is explored - the standard view of politics, the liberal perspective, and the advocates of a philosophy known as New Traditionalism.

In the standard view of politics, religion drives many political decisions. According to political theorists, "religious reasons ...

When one attempts to analyze society through a macro-perspective, it becomes clear that such analysis is a highly challenging endeavor. With all the interlocking parts, different demographics of people, as well as local and national governmental structures and laws, it can be extremely difficult to make any sort of cogent observation. However, sociologists have attempted to broach these difficulties these developing paradigms through which individuals can examine society. The social-conflict paradigm is one such lens that is effective for such analysis. This paradigm argues that society is best understood as a system of class conflict, with inequality between different ...

“In knowledge there is always a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity.”

Evaluate this Statement in Relation to Two Areas of Knowledge
In some context, simplicity is a term suggesting ignorance. It is not a way of knowing but a measure of knowledge. Simplicity can also refer to something that is basic or uncomplicated and may affect the way of knowing. Barrow argues that simplicity is a function of perspective. Based on his argument, a physicist might view the world as simple based on his understanding of particles and matter. Physics is a field based largely on reason and his interpretation of the universe as a series of simple algorithms is ...

Discussion 1 - Analyzing Point of View

A point of view is considered as the narration of a given story from a given perspective of the first, second, and third person. The importance of point of view is determining from what perspective a reader will hear a given story. Through the point of view, the narrator gets to revel given information to the readers. A writer can control how the reader understands the story by describing well his or her point of view (Clugston, 2010, p.74). Unlike a short film, which has picture, a short story calls for imagination through different perspectives or viewpoints that are provided by the writer. It is ...

Introduction

Literary critical theory is a complicated process - there are many different ways from which one can look at a story. The question remains, however, whether or not these readings are valid. Is the process of literary criticism a means of mental gymnastics, where theorists can force a reading into a text like a child pushing a square peg in a round hole? Looking at the various theorists who make up the most prominently observed members of the literary critical canon, it becomes clear that the act of reading itself is an interactive one, with the reader bringing just as much into the experience of reading as ...

Unlike dry and rushed textbooks, keywords have been defined on the side of the textbook, which has proven to be helpful when studying for a test. Ciccarelli’s book is ingenious and insightful, and not only do her topics come to life, but ...

Reviewing "The Yellow Wallpaper" through Plato and Christine de Pisan

Charlotte Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” tells the tale of a young married woman who suffers from what is presumed to be post-partum depression. Her physician husband decides to sequester her for a ‘rest cure’ in their summer home, which turns out to backfire when she starts to slowly go insane. The story takes the form of journal entries denoting her gradual slide into madness, as she hallucinates and forms paranoid thoughts about her husband and the outside world. The audience sees all of this through a first-person perspective that allows us to see inside the mind of the protagonist, ...

Organizations can either be profit or non-profit. For profit organizations, the main aim is to make profit. No matter what kind of business a profit organization ventures into, the most important thing is to have customers. All profit organizations have relevant customers that must be taken into consideration. The main aim of non-profit organizations, however, is to generate some kind of social impact. To smoothly run their operations, the non-profit organizations need to secure steady resources or income (either from donors or volunteers). Such organizations may not have relevant customers to take into consideration.

An example of an organization that ...

Critical Thinking

John Berger's Ways of Seeing is a fascinating and interesting book that looks at the ways in which humans perceive the world around them; Berger believes that the interrelation of text to image is important, and so he intersperses photographs, paintings, hand drawings and more with their appropriate text. "It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it" (p. 7). According to Berger, visuals can articulate concepts and ideas that words simply cannot quantify, and words as a result attempt ...

Lenn Goodman- ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective

Challenges to Relativism

Conclusion

Introduction
Relativism is a concept that forges reality advancing assumptions which declare nothing to be absolutely true or valid. This is so because what has been proven true or valid is always based on personal perceptions which may be influenced by various predisposing factors. Often they may be merely subjective sentiments which are not universal since they only represent the view point of a few, the minority, majority or imposition of a dictator (Baghramian, 2004)
When conceptualized within the context of morality it impinges on the framework that ...

Abstract

In the present paper, the issue of personality development is discussed from the perspective of psychoanalysis. Since followers of psychoanalysis studied personality in its integrity of inner and outer worlds and dynamics of development, the phenomenon was analyzed from interdisciplinary and systematic perspectives. In order to understand the integrity of psychoanalytic approach to studying of personality development, three major psychoanalytical models of Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein and Heinz Kohut are outlined. Freud’s concept of personality development is analyzed on the basis of his structural model of personality and stages of psychosexual development. Klein’s approach is based on ...

The experiences that people go through in life help shape their characters and actions. The behaviors that people exhibit cannot be looked at exclusively from an idealistic moral perspective. It is therefore important to look at an individual’s past situations before throwing a blanket judgment on them. This is the case with Troy Maxson in the play “Fences” written by August Wilson. An abstract look at his behavior would suggest that he is a selfish and egoistic man, yet a closer look at his life experiences suggests that more often than not, there was an underlying justification for ...

It is often the case that science fiction writers infuse aspects of religion in their works. In the case of the two books Out of the Silent Planet and Bellwether the authors have infused aspects of religion in their works as will be shown in this essay. The presence of science fiction in books makes the genre more interesting to read. In the two novels the two main characters are characterized by their agency and their subjectivity. This means that they exhibit a mythic dimension and an ethical dimension. Characterized by their agency, the main characters in these novels are ...

Abstract

In the framework of the modern merge between philosophy and economic theory, two opposite theories of socio-economic development of human civilization are of specific interest. The first concept theory is Mill’s perception of the liberalism and its further contribution to formation of free market system. The second one is classical Marx’s theory of socialism, which should save humanity from social stratification and anarchy of the free market. In order to understand the correlation between those two concepts and realize what might be wrong about liberty, Mill’s work “On Liberty” will be analyzed from the perspective of ...

Introduction

Since the republics in the Soviet Union proclaimed independence in 1991, there have been significant changes concerning the ethno cultural, and demographic situation. The dissolution of the Soviet Union was the major reason behind the creation of the Russian Diaspora. More than twenty-five million Russian citizens found themselves in the midst of newly and freshly created states, which were often redesigned as their new political dwellings (Beissinger, 2008). After some time, the displaced Russians were compelled to either assume a fresh political identity, or to return to the Russian Federation, which was newly created. Assuming fresh political identity would ...

Diversity involves different people who are of different sexes, ethnicities, religions and races coming to form a community, organization or group. If people, therefore, embrace each other’s differences, it will be possible to achieve a “we” among diversified people. Diversity is achieved if and only if morality comes in handy. It is only then that the idea of free will makes sense. Most people, especially those who are not active in philosophical thinking, tend to believe that they are free to choose from various alternatives when making various day-to-day decisions with the simplest of them- to say yes ...

Every society develops, struggles to find and seeks solutions that will be best for society. What are the best laws, political style and what should be considered right and wrong and good or bad. Science says that for every action there is a reaction. Essentially, this means that there are consequences for all actions and choices, which calls for great consideration in regards to those acts being right or wrong, good or evil and or even worthwhile. Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted means by which attain these social goals that need to be achieved. One area of ethical ...

Mark Krikorian believes that measures to curb illegal immigration have yet to achieve an acceptable level of functionality given the scope of the problem. His take on the issue is "Much needs to be done before the United States has the enforcement arrangements necessary to permanently reduce illegal immigration to a nuisance rather than an ongoing crisis." (Krikorian, 2012) He begins his argument with statistics that point to the prevalence of the problem. While immigration has decreased, Krikorian's interpretation of the data suggests this decrease to be deceptive. Though there is an all time decrease in illegal immigration, Krikorian links ...

What are some errors of truths?

Truth is relative and depends on the issue or argument in question (Ruggiero, 2009). What one individual considers being true, might in fact be misconceived as different individuals may have diverging perspectives of the same issue. This results to errors occurring in what may be considered as the truth.

There are errors of perspective and errors of procedure. Error of perspective arises one an individual in trying to resolve a given issue, fails to seek the perspectives of other individuals and assumes that his or her perspective is right (Ruggiero, 2009). Many individuals fail to accept criticisms with the notion ...

Organizations function as an independent entity in the business environment. The action, behavior and culture of an organization is shaped and governed by its employee’s managers and stake holders. In each organization there are certain vital components that influences the way it behaves and function.

The role of a manager is to identify these components and incorporate them in daily processes to improve efficiency productivity and effectiveness. In this paper I discuss some of these vital components and ...

In “Euthyphro,” one of Plato’s early dialogues, Plato describes the meeting between Euthyphro and Socrates near the king-archon’s court and proceeds to record their conversation about piety. Piety is a virtue that is often interpreted as religious devotion or spirituality. While piety in contemporary society usually means devoting God to gain good graces or seek forgiveness, piety was considered in a wider context by Greek philosophers, so it was a virtue that allowed a person to respect social order, religious order, and display devotion to others. Piety is directly influenced by the development of practical wisdom because practical wisdom was considered ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

One of the literary works that has been a constant reference throughout the ages of how the citizen is obligated to ...

The domain of mass media or information technology opens up avenues of thoughts and perspectives with all the data that is shared among people of the society. However, while the boom in technology has led to a surge in communication, it needs to be noted that there are examples of the state machinery leaving no stone unturned to regulate dissemination of information so as to channelize the thoughts and perspectives of the general mass of the society in a particular manner in accordance with the ambition of the authority of the state.

It seems that you are correct in your analysis of Shkerli and Turing’s decision to increase the price by such a significant amount. From a boardroom and business perspective, the decision is absolutely the correct and ethical, especially if one believes in the principles of shareholder value (Smith, 2003). I’m sure it is a decision that many corporate leaders would also make if they the same confluence of elements; namely no alternative product, complete control of distribution, and needy market; that Shkerli was able to enjoy. In fact how different is his decision than the decision of ...

Historical-materialist perspective associated with Marx and Engels

Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx developed the concept of the historical materialism also known as the materialist conception of history. One of the main building blocks of this concept is the Hegel's argument that history arises from a dialectic/conflict of the contrasting forces in the society. According to Hegel's claim, the world that we live is a world of appearances, and the state of reality where an individual and the absolute are reunified defines the end of the story. To form a theory of historical materialism, Marx and Engels accepted the idea of dialectic but refuted the Hegel's notion ...
