- Introduction
- Bilingualism has been defined variously as the ability to converse or speak and understand more than one language. In a stricter sense, bilingualism implies the ability to speak two languages though multilingual speakers, i.e. those who speak and understand more than two languages are often referred to as bilinguals. In recent years especially due to the world reaching the pinnacle of globalization where there is virtual interconnectedness of one end to the other, bilingualism has become more of a norm rather than an exception.

Psychology: Exploring the Relations of Micro Expression to Professional Performance

According to the studies conducted by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, in communication process, around 93% of human communication takes place through non-verbal mode. He divided the communication process into three parts; words (7%), tone of the voice (38%), and body language 55% (Mehrabian, 1981). Among non-verbal modes of communication the commonly used mode is the facial expressions. The face of the person expresses his/her emotions. Yet, some part of emotions is sometimes not clear to everyone. We all are not experts in identifying each and every expression of the ...

Introduction

The world is currently experiencing a rapid pace of globalization. Globalization, in general, offers a more positive than negative set of effects to society. It makes countries more interconnected. The actual advantages of this worldwide phenomenon, in fact, come from the international interconnectivity that it creates.
With a more globalized international marketplace, trade between two or more countries regardless of their geographical location becomes a lot easier. At some point, it may also become cheaper as more and more infrastructure projects get developed in anticipation of the emergence of a world that is so interconnected that countries cannot, especially ...

Multivariate Analysis

Guillaume, Knippenberg, and Brodbeck (2014) theorize that social classes or groups are an important starting point to determine the effects of societal diversity on individuals’ attitudes and behavior. People with similar backgrounds whether social, economic, or cultural are more comfortable and more likely to perform better both psychologically and behaviorally (Guillaume et al., 2014). Besharov (2014) states organizational identification occurs when members place a high value on organizational membership and define themselves accordingly. Additionally, creativity, helping behaviors, job satisfaction, and social support are other actions, which contribute to defining classes or groups (Besharov, 2014).
Organization identification benefits are fleeting ...

Technical Applied Science: Using the Scientific Method

Problem Statement

In general commercial and non-commercial flights are the two main categories of aviation. Pilot age became a particularly controversial issue in 1959 when the Age-60 Rule was made by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Age Rule has been lifted to 65 years so pilot’s can continue to fly through their early 60s. All factors causing air accidents are seriously investigated. If age is not a factor then time could be better spent resolving the problems that are factors in air accidents. This proposal seeks to evaluate the literature in order to determine whether or not the age ...
