In order to complete this museum report, I visited the Bowers Museum that is located in Santa Ana. The visit and the entire experience was fun for me because it gave me an opportunity to learn in an entirely different and stimulating environment. History is not as much fun when sitting in class and talking about people and cultures that one cannot relate to. Thus, going to the museum makes the learning experience relatable and easier to understand. This was my second time visiting the Bowers Museum. This visit brought back memories because the last time I was there, ...

In the recent past, California has emerged as one of the state in the US with many reported cases of fraud in workers’ compensation schemes. In actual sense, a quarter of all compensations extended to workers by insurers in California are false. The major types of frauds include internal, claimant and provider fraud, with the most rampant being claimant fraud. In order to minimize losses caused by falsified claims, relevant state stakeholders have structured policies meant to detect and punish compensation fraudsters. Unfortunately, existing policies have not been effective in addressing the issue. Matthew (2013) insinuates that what must be ...

Introduction

Real estate in the world is considered a good target for investment. Organizations and individuals willing to acquire residential and commercial property, as compared with other forms of investing money in real estate investments have a number of indisputable advantages. Investing in real estate is profitable to the investor as a result of the growth in real estate prices, as well as from property rental. In the long term real estate prices tend to rise, despite the possible local fall during various economic crises. Risks associated with investments in real estate, as a rule, lower than the risks associated ...

Introduction

Human trafficking and illegal immigration has been a central issue in most debates in the United States. Unscrupulous agricultural industries have been accused of taking part in illegal immigration and human trafficking to provide cheap labour for the industries. The state of California is the most affected by this vice due its extensive farmlands. Even though these industries make high profits margins, the plight of workers is the same old story of poverty and destitution (Lee, 2013). The illegality of this practice led me into seeking answers to pertinent questions from George Gascon, the District Attorney of San Francisco. ...

Research literature shows that though it is correct to hold that there are ...

Language development in classroom communication

The backbone of any communication process is language. Language can thus be described as the means of passing information between two parties (Robertson, 2002). In a classroom, effective communication is essential for the learners to gain maximally. Poor language results in poor understanding of the subject matter in a subject. This translates into poor intellectual background of a learner. Social communication can also result in poor classroom communication (Brock-Ute, 2007). So as to analyze classroom communication, I choose to use economics as the subject of concern. This is mainly because economics extends virtually into all aspects of business regardless of the location ...

Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...

Introduction

Leadership is an important factor in the development of a business enterprise. Leadership becomes even more important when the business experiences growth. The growth of a business enterprise results in new and different dynamics. It is imperative that the business leader also grows in terms of philosophy and skills in order to lead the business under the new dynamics. Burke, Clarke, Barrow and Molian (2008) argue from a different perspective. They hold that during the growth of a business entity, a leader has two roles to play. Firstly, the leader needs to articulate the vision and direction of the ...

The rational choice theory is a combination of rational behavior and human capital and the outcome is a criminal activity. One economist named Gary Becker applied his views on this theory and he discovered that offenders are engaged in a predictable behavior before crimes are ...
