Usually, the theme of the westerns revolved around morality and justice enforced or restored by a single character, classically a cowboy. The theme of The Ox-Bow Incident, however, is a tragic one, as not only the injustice is not redressed, but it ...

Section 1: US Government

When the US constitution was set up, the founders divided the new government into three co-equal branches of government: The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Each was given separate areas of responsibilities, that were designed to make the branches work together to govern the county. The idea was that no one branch would grow to dominate the other two. To make sure that didn’t happen, the founders built a system of checks and balances into the constitution. This system consists of a series of powers that each branch has over the other two, to prevent any one branch from ...

Abstract

This paper aims at establishing communism in China and its effects on the government, economy, and lifestyle.
Introduction
In world history, communism is often associated with negative points. When communism is brought up, cruel regimes in the former Germany, U.S.S.R, and Yugoslavia and also current regimes in nations such as, North Korea, China and Cuba are time and again thought of depressingly. In addition to that, communism is associated with government control, limited personal freedoms, and a police state. Seemingly, all these curtail civil liberties. Ideally, some nations have tried communism and failed because of the methods they ...

Social injustice is one of the major challenges that the human kind has faced for long. This social vice has attracted quite a great deal of reactions from the oppressed and those in the rule. It has also attracted great scholars and philosophers. Socrates, one of the great philosophers is one such individual who suffered social injustice in Athens.

The two had an ultimate quest to end injustice. This is because Socrates stated ...

Cultural anthropology, as a practice, notes the fundamental and subtle differences between cultures in an increasingly globalized world. As the world gets increasingly smaller, cultural anthropology will become more complex, especially when it comes to economic systems and how they interrelate. Globalization has led to increased access to foreign goods; various economic and cultural theories will be used to explain the effects that the melding of different cultures and markets are having on the way nations and peoples interact economically. A shift towards democratic autonomy is suggested as a potential solution for the complexities of melding different economic systems in a globalized ...

In the early traditional ages, Japans cultural set up majorly favored men in the society. In the ancient times, women in japan were generally viewed to be inferior to their male counterparts. “I don’t interfere with my husbands business, not with my mouth, hands or legs.” This statement, made by Kumiko Hashimoto, the wife of former Japanese Prime Minister Ryutario Hasimoto, basically underlines the traditional role of women in Japan. These sentiments clearly show us that a woman’s roles in the house were much defined and that at some point they had to seek for permission from their ...

The reluctance of the government to reverse the harsh factors that led to the severe consequences of ‘Brain Drain’ which has made the African American population prone to suffering severe consequences for lack of political and economic muscle. The situation has not been ...

The affirmative action can be termed as positive implementation of polices to foster balanced diversity and compensate the minority groups in the education, employment, business and other government sectors while considering representation in terms of color, race, religion, gender and national origin.

Diversity Management in Contemporary Organization

The contemporary business environment is a complex mechanism of relationships on organizational, group and individual levels, where the trend of internationalization and blurring business and economic boundaries between the countries places more emphasis on adaptability and unique competitive advantage, based on intangible assets. For many companies, growth and profitability mean organic and inorganic expansion to foreign markets and, thus, there is an increasing concern about diversity and management of cross-cultural differences within and outside of the companies. The reality of such retail giants as Tesco, Walmart, Starbucks Coffee Company and many others demonstrates that in order to build on ...

Abstract

Recent news of police engaging lethal force to contain seemingly non-dangerous situations has dominated headlines in the news. News such as the shootings of Kajieme Powell, Michael Brown and countless others and the seeming impunity that the system grants the accused proffer that the system will use any avenue to impose the upper classes’ will on the lower class in the guise of crime control. However, rather than project a racist slant, the research also looks on the possibility that the police officers, in the line of duty, must be given enough latitude in determining the situations that ...

There exists about 300,000 plant species on earth, and every individual plant hosts one or more endophytes. However, it is just a few of these plants that have been researched relative to their endophytic biology. Hence, the chance for isolation of new, as well as, interesting endophytic bacteria in plants are important. Endophytic bacteria can be referred to as bacteria that can be isolated from tissues of a surface-disinfected plant or bacteria extracted from inside of a plant, which cause no visible negative effects to the plant. Almost every plant is populated by varied bacteria referred to as endophytes. Majority of ...

In the discursive formations analysis, human beings are not the center analysis to avoid problems associated with anthropological approaches used earlier.

It is not secret that there is still racial inequality within society. The mass migrations to cities have left many neighborhoods overpopulated, destitute, and families mainly minorities, left holding the bag.

In essence the concept of participatory design has emerged from urbanization, a tool implemented in order to include community involvement in urban planning and development.

Abstract

The United States expenditure on its health care systems has risen to very high levels in the recent past. However, the nation has not attained the sufficient levels of health care.

I am a Muslim by faith and follow Islam as my religion. As I was curious about another Abrahamic religion i.e. Judaism, I decided to visit a rabbi and interviewed him regarding his faith.

He acts as a mentor for the Jews (and for anyone who is interested to know about the religion).The interview was an exceptionally informative experience for me as the rabbi informed me regarding a number of things related to Judaism that were ...

The ethical dilemmas that surround the concept of sexual act make it more challenging to determine its intrinsic value. In fact, there is almost certainly no chance of escaping issues like consent, marriage, procreation, preference and gender when discussing sexual act or behavior. Some may argue that to determine if a sex act is intrinsically right or wrong, good or bad, requires a total separation of it from morality or ethics, an idea that is not impossible but very challenging to do.
The use of the word intrinsically in this case, makes it more difficult to formulate a specific answer to ...

Racial Profiling

Racial profiling is the process by which the authorities will create a profile of a likely suspect based on his or hers ethnic background and race. This idea is based on the belief, stereotype and, in some cases, statistics that certain minority groups are more likely to participate in unlawful behaviour (Laney, 2006, p1). The controversy which surrounds this is based in the discussion of whether anyone should be legally pursued on the basis of their ethnicity and race. The narrower end of the wedge here is a definition which sees police officers stopping people for questioning based on their race but ...

Africa has traditionally been a continent of mixed fortunes, where real-life stories of hope and despair abound. African traditions, values and customs have been slowly influenced by colonization and eventual globalization that has turned the world into a global village. The novel, Things fall apart, is a reflection of the extent to which Africans were tied to their beliefs and customs, as a violation of those customs was regarded as being disrespectful to the gods.

Is Latino Political Influence in the United States Matching Population Growth?

While it is clear that the rising Latino population in the United States is resulting in greater political representation and influence, the extent of this influence and whether it matches the growth of this demographic is not quite so clear. Certainly, because of a high birth rate and high levels of immigration, one would think that Latinos are likely to become more powerful in the political sphere in the years to come. This paper will examine the reality of the changing political landscape in the United States, with a particular focus on the effect that Latinos are having on ...
