Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Recent studies have established that people do not mind their eating habits. They do not know the dangers either associated with poor eating habits, or are just ignorant to the fact that healthy eating is paramount to healthy societies.

The major problem associated with poor eating habits is obesity, which exposes people to diseases such as hypertension, coronary artery diseases and diabetes. These are very threatening diseases that have very simple origin-poor eating habits-but also have simple solutions - proper dietary measures.

Organizations, instead of running themselves, require employees with a diverse mix of “abilities, intrinsic gifts, skills, knowledge, experience, intelligence, judgment, attitude, character, drive, and ability to learn and grow; collectively called talent” (Michaels et al., 2001, cited in Beechler & Woodward, 2009, p. 274)” to do the same. However, “sustaining this talent is more challenging than creating it, considering the dynamically complex and perilous global business environment, that most of the companies operate in, thus, necessitating a carefully crafted talent strategy or talent management process, on their part, that precedes every other organizational strategy, 24*7, regardless of the prevalent business conditions” ( ...
