My initial hypothesis

Young adolescent people approach mathematical problems differently considering their gender. The methods that that the females use to approach mathematical problems are different from the approaches taken by their male counterparts. Traditionally, male students have been said to have a natural ability in mathematics and females have been attributed to less confidence and less learning styles. The thoughts of male students being much better than their female counterparts in mathematics seem real and ones that I can support because males tend to major in mathematical fields than females. Males have proven over time to be more successful in mathematics than ...

The inter linkages of the international finance systems cannot be denied nor overemphasized. A movement in one major stock market signals either a threat or an opportunity in another stock market. For instance, a boom in the New York Stock Exchange will also signify the upbeat in the other foreign stock markets such as in Asian and Latin American markets. Conversely, the fall of the U.S. housing markets led to the credit crunch felt by most financial centers in the U.S., Great Britain, and other European markets. Hence, any threat to the global financial market may mean a single threat to the ...

What public- and private-sector resources could be used to respond to the threat?

First of all, it is essential to be aware of the fact that the act of chemical or biological terrorism may range from the food product contamination to the aerosolized anthrax spores’ dissemination. That is why, it is almost impossible to make the forecasts regarding the time of occurrence of particular terroristic act as well as the place and method, used for this purpose. At the same time, it is obvious that the public- and private-sector should not ignore the probability of such forms of terrorism. This statement may be supported by increased rates of the frequency of such ...

Threat of Entry

It measures the responsiveness in which competitors enter the industry. Ideally, it shows how difficult or easy it is for newcomers to start competing together with defined barriers that exist in the business. The higher the industrial competition, the better and easier it is for the new entrants to join the market. Majorly, new entrants will look at adjusting market shares, loyalty of customers, and prices. New entrants depend on many factors before they join the market.

Police have to deal with threats in the community. The threats can stem from violence, riots, and environmental factors. The threat of terrorism has been a huge problem for over a decade and is increasing more over time. The Patriot Act gave the government and police more power when it came to terrorism and protection against crime. The budgets and finances for the criminal justice departments have fallen short due to the economic hardship that had happened in the country. Resources can be limited depending on the financial availability the criminal justice department can use. The economic standpoint has ...

Due to the nature of these attacks, no one has an idea of when or who will be targeting them. Hence, large and mid-sized companies invest heavily on securing ...

Torture today is subject to diverse universal moral legal condemnation. Along with other vices like genocide and slavery, torture has been established to violate the primary customs of human rights.

Criminal Law

Introduction
This paper looks at the claim by Cullen and Gilbert (1982) that “Rehabilitation should be the major goal of any correctional system” (p. 5) and seeks to determine if rehabilitation is the most efficient method to attenuate crime. From the onset of the 20th century, efforts to combat crime have seen a rise in the implementation of rehabilitation as a preferred philosophy or methodology enacted by the justice system in order to reduce this societal challenge. The treatment of criminals was perceived as both efficient in terms of crime prevention and also the treatment of offenders was considered a more ...

Intelligence Reform Law

The enactment of the intelligence reform law in 2004 was a move towards revamping the intelligence community, especially after the terrorist attacks of 2001 on US landmarks and symbols of their economy. The reform law saw commissioning of the Director of National Intelligence office. The activities envisioned in the new law saw the most significant restructuring of the Intelligence Community in over half a century. As a result of this, civil and private liberties and education for members of the intelligence community were instituted. Their scope was also widened in order to prevent such attacks on US soil or its overseas interests.

Emma Bonino’s article “The Arab Spring Label is over. The Arab struggle for a better future is not” is an investigative look at the success and the failures of the Arab spring that started in Tunisia in the month of December 2010. Bonino argues that while the Arab Spring would be perceived as a sudden outburst, it was a gradual process of simmering emotions on the people about the authoritarian regimes in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and others. However, while looking at what happened in Egypt in the summer of 2013, one can almost certainly argue that while the Arab spring ...

In Jeffrey Dueck’s essay “Religious Pluralism and The Super Best Friends” he takes the view that Stone and Parker South Park’s creators are relaying the lesson through their character Stan that take the Religious Pluralist view that all religions are “roughly ‘on par’ with on another in terms of their truth.” (Dueck, 226).

Intelligence analysis is given the mandate to apply all information sources, insights from experts, and trade crafts that are specialized to help prevent or reduce damages to US security through threats. Tactical warning seeks to know from afar and deter threats to US security interests. It aims at avoiding incident surprises. This is done by blocking and blunting damages. Strategic warning has its interests in perceived dangers. This informs policy makers on decisions to make for preparedness in order to limit damages or prevent the incident completely.

Dear Mr. Gigot,

I am writing this letter to discuss the WSJ article named “All Clear on Recession Risk. Not Yet” by Greg Ip which was published on March 4, 2016 (Ip 1). The article is not as informative as much it tends to illustrate a sense of clairvoyance in the writer’s judgement and his forewarning of the imminent economic apocalypse for the nation. It is needless to mention that the article’s theme has been excessively pessimistic in predicting the odds of a recession not hitting the US economy in the near future. My inference on the article’s theme ...

Totalitarian political system is based on the unlimited authority and power to ‘rule’ every dimension of the social and even private life of the individuals, which is in direct contrast of democracy. Such governments maintain their rule by regulating a comprehensive propaganda campaign that is communicated through the television channels and print controlled by the state. Public at large is the major party that has to go through the tyrannical control of the state over economy, media, surveillance, and freedom of speech and thought.
The use of terror is common and widespread in totalitarian states, to keep the opinion ...

For that reason, this paper centers on Canadian Border Policy and more particularly on the concept of Fortress North America, or the Perimeter Security where it attempts ...

Racism is essentially pronounced in the twentieth century, assuming a strategic position in both political and administration policies. Earlier scholars such us John Locke popularized the belief in equality of humanity by describing the background of human societies, the state and morality. Particularly, the scholar introduced the idea of a “state of nature’’ asserting that men are equally free. However, this state is no longer identifiable in the contemporary society that is highly informed by biased racial assumptions. Charles Mills developed the concept of “racial contract” that describes the state of affairs in the contemporary society. The scholar challenges the existence ...

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 ...

Fostering Successful Emergency Planning

Fostering a successful emergency plan ensures that the plan focuses on intensive training and exercises. In doing so, the plan reinforces emergency preparedness for a number of potential emergencies. The exercises that emergency planners can create to test their plans include trial or testing through prototypes and operations, rehearsing the plan and explaining the plan to others and memorizing it (‎Perry, 2016). The best way to access emergencies is through trials. I believe this is true because when accessing emergency systems using trial, one bases the trial on socialist systems. The use of socialist systems in responding to emergencies ...
