Original topic

Did South American civilizations lack critical technologies or science that enabled Europe to undergo mechanization and economic growth where they did not? This is a comparative exercise trying to identify particular technologies or pieces of science as necessary to sustain a long run growth process.

Reason of choice

The issue of technological development of the pre-Columbian civilizations is extremely interesting and appears to be far less explored than others. Southern American states are being often perceived as underdeveloped, while there are numerous artifacts which prove a relatively high level of technological development. It would be challenging, yet very educating ...

Long time ago when the colonizers were still the force behind every move in the world, the native people had no say on how to carry on with their lives of property. Everything at that time belonged to the colonizers. Our ancestors lived a state of unrest and no one could even dare gossip about their presences since they had spies in almost every village and locality. If someone, dared to utter a word those whites will sprint from nowhere descending on an individual mercilessly. The ancestors described the situation at that time as being in hell. The colonizers were not ...

INDIGENOUS RIGHTS IN AFRICA: THEORY AND APPLICATION

Abstract
The question of “indigeneity” is a vital issue in Africa. According to the Commission, all Africans are indigenous to Africa and no particular social formation can claim for the indigenous status. People often talk about ‘Western’ or ‘European’ concept of human rights, and thus compare ‘African’ and ‘Western’ thoughts. This issue occupies an important place in the vast literature that seeks to articulate an African approach towards the rights of the Indigenous people and thus compare such view with the Western concept. Despite the uprising of the consciousness of the African nations, many Africans have not made efforts ...

Human activities such as agricultural expansion, human population dynamics and agricultural policies have direct and indirect impact on forest cover change. Deforestation in the ...

Part #1: Introduction

Aviation safety is a concern to many stakeholders in the aviation industry. Air accidents occur because the technological advancements in preventing the accidents are not sufficient (Tetteh, 2006).

Thesis statement

Modern research in science can be traced to the 16 and 17th centuries. However, the most astounding discoveries were made from 18th century to the mid-20th century. Achievements made in science and technology (especially in the fields of production, transport and communications), gave birth to the industrial revolution. Industrial growth was experienced not only in capitalist states, but also in the communist Russia and other backward countries like Mexico. These changes have come to be associated with the modern global civilization. The rapid progress of science and technology has been associated with the enormous use of raw materials that ...

These form public sector clients. Public sector clients are responsible for infrastructural development. Public sector infrastructure procurement is marred with a number of problems, which limit the capacity of these clients.

The Middle East has been a region that has been in a state of crisis for over a century now. Since the redefining of its political boundaries post World War I, the prolonged conflict between Israel and Palestine to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the region has been the site of conflicts based on a wide range of justifications. Dictatorships, religion, land disputes, possession of weapons of mass destruction, the subjugation of populace, and, arguably, oil have been some of the common war points. However, just how true these justifications of war are depends greatly on the perception of the Middle East, its ...

Introduction

Over the course of history there has been a close relationship between rhetoric and music; this is especially evident in the Baroque period (rhetoric).

Until relatively recently in Western society, music was an form primarily focused on vocals, and consequently words were of extremely high importance. Due to this trend, composers were usually inspired by rhetorical principles when coalescing text and music (rhetoric). Likewise, even after instrumental-centered music became popular, rhetoric principles continued to be relied on in creating both vocal and instrumental music.

What is still largely unclear is how the interrelationships influenced the craft of composition. This is ...

Reciprocity of Marketing & Culture

INTRODUCTION
The growing interdependence of global markets has made a more compelling case for culture as an increasingly significant variable in marketing efforts.

Typically, consumer behavior metrics – including, most notably, conventional market research and more innovative approaches as data analytics platforms and applications – are adopted in order to identify consumer behaviors and needs.

Gender discrimination is the maltreatment of an individual based on their sex. This form of discrimination most commonly affects women. It also may affect homosexual and transgendered men. Whereas women represent approximately fifty percent of the global population, they are woefully underrepresented in a variety of fields including leadership roles. Gender discrimination takes the form of unequal pay for equal work, unwanted sexual advances, demands for sexual favors in exchange for workplace advancement, discrimination during pregnancy, and general unfavorable views towards women based on their roles as mothers.

Ethiopia is a Sub-Saharan country located in the Horn of Africa. The population of Ethiopia is estimated to be over 100 million inhabitants, making it the most populated landlocked country in Africa, and the second most populated country in Africa after Nigeria. Ethiopia is the only country in the Sub-Saharan Africa which has got a history of having its alphabets and calendar.

This is the reason why some writers refer to Ethiopia as one country with alphabet and ...

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion.
In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that focuses on the acceptance of imperfection and impermanence in the w0rld. Wabi and Sabi are two key concepts of Japanese aesthetic that look at beauty as imperfect and incomplete. The idea behind wabi-sabi is to accept things as they are and recognize the aesthetics in their imperfection (Martin 2007, p. 15). The fundamental nature of Wabi-sabi is passing of time. It is the process and not the final product and focuses on things that are often overlooked. Modernist reductionism strips down art to its basic essential ...

Amongst mentally ill patients at high risk for early readmission, does the utilization of a multi-component transition care plan as compared to usual care help to improve early readmission rates?

Abstract

The early hospital readmission rate in a 30-bed psychiatric unit in California is 25%. This figure is higher than the 13% reported in the literature for high-income countries like the US (Vigod et al., 2013). Early readmissions are problematic as they are costly and disruptive to the personal and professional lives of patients and their family members. In addition, they are construed to be negative patient outcomes and negative indicators of ...

(Araffin 2005). The evolution of mosques from the humble rendering of the first erected with the Prophet’s own hands to the geometric patterned, repetitive designed, and calligraphy domed places of prayer and worship found in the Islamic world today is a testament to the faith in God of all Muslims globally.
