Introduction

Organized crime has been a matter of major concern in the United States of America for a long period. Attempts to get rid of this social ill have not been fruitful. Mallory defines organized crime as an activity that is not allowed in the society and deal with illegal substances, and services such as drugs, gambling and stealing (Mallory 2007). Given this explanation, organized crime can be seen as a social institution that is socially disorganized.

The tie between culture and art is profound and close as the two have a joint and beneficial relationship. Art can facilitate the exposure of culture through paintings, sculptures, drawings, and other masterpieces. For instance, contemporary art can serve as a channel of culture.

Culture is influenced by an array of factors, and contemporary art is among them. Art is a dynamic, predominant element which can be considered “an aspect of culture” (Hatcher 1).

Kymlicka explains liberalism as a theory that describes the relationship between individuals, groups, and the society. Will gives the liberal views, the importance and value of the culture in the community. Disintegration of Yugoslavia led to violent ethnic conflicts in the world. Since that time, there has been the need to enhance stability and cohesion in the multiethnic states. “The main challenge to this has been meeting the demands of national minorities, and finding the means of accommodating mass immigration”. Kymlicka brings up an argument that favors the survival of the minority groups according to the liberal theories. However, Kymlicka’ ...

Introduction

As myriad of changes continue being experienced in the health sector, several challenges prevent effective implementation of healthcare services. These challenges include limitation in healthcare services, inefficient skills, unskilled personnel, poverty and huge gap between the number of skilled healthcare providers and number of patients seeking services. These problems further intensify in rural areas whereby the distance between patients and healthcare facilities prevent timely access to healthcare. This explains why several federal policies target problems facing the rural poor. Studies further show that more than 15 percent of healthcare beneficiaries reside in rural areas (Thrall, 2012). These patients depend ...

Scott Walterhoefer
Abstract
Can the United States solve its debt crisis? That is the daunting question that currently confronts our nation and the manner in which the “powers that be” attempt to deal with this problem will dictate the political and economic landscape for the foreseeable future. The sheer size of this debt (roughly $16 trillion) is so massive and seemingly out of control that it is nearly impossible to fathom. This paper will examine this debt and the factors that caused its exponential rise over ...

Introduction

This paper seeks to show, as Owen (1994) believes, that peaceful regimes based on a liberalist democracy are more likely to secure and maintain a condition of “democratic peace” than regimes that are neither liberal nor democratic. However, as reported by Kahneman and Renshon (2007), even liberalist decision-makers have to be wary of advice offered by hawkish advisors, because the human mind has a natural bias towards the more aggressive solutions and to be unrealistically optimistic about the consequences of such decisions.

How Liberalism Produces Democratic Peace:

Owen (1994) reviews and supports the concept of “democratic peace” – the idea that wars between democratic nations are unlikely and ...

Government spending encompasses all the country’s consumption and investment. It however excludes a country’s transfer payments. Basically, any country’s spending is funded by the taxes or country’s borrowing. Excessive government spending is thus a situation where a country spends more than it invests. When a gap exists between federal government’s spending and how it collects its tax, the country is likely to undergo excessive government spending. A likely consequence of excessive government spending is the debt crisis which may stem from its poor control of amount of tax receipts annually. This thus typifies uncontrolled spending.
Excessive government ...

An Interpretative Analysis

These three texts differ greatly in many ways. The dates of their composition are separated by many years and the social context in which they were written is greatly different. Trifles might be said to be a proto-feminist work in the way it describes the marriage of John and Minnie Wright, and in the way that Mrs Hale and Mrs. Peters understand why Minnie Wright killed her husband and conspire to keep the truth from the police in sisterly solidarity with Minnie Wright. ‘The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses’ is set in South Africa ...

Since the turn of the 20^th century, US governments have tried to control the use of drugs through the application of different policies that have mainly focused on the economic aspects of distribution at the expense of other policies. The federal, state and local governments have spent billions of dollars in their effort to ensure that America is free from drugs. However, these efforts seems to have come to naught since it is cheaper and easier than ever before to obtain drugs like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and other illegal drugs. The war on drugs has failed ...

Introduction

Authority is a crucial theme in the Christian faith as it plays an indispensable part to its authentic transmission. It determines the credibility of the teacher as well as the validity and acceptability of the teachings. In systematic theology, authority distinguishes between the sound Christian theology and the dangerous heretical ones. In the life of the Church, it is authority that provides stability of community life, confidence in the authenticity of the teachings received, and the confidence of the strength of the Christian witness to those who still do not believe. In fact, doubt in authority can bring an ...

Introduction

American history is not marked by heavenly lifestyle, but it’s filled with violence and conflicts. One of the major issues that challenge America's democratic setup is their ethnic diversity. After the civil war, the ethnic divisions continued among people and this time the conflicts are based on immigrants. The tensions surrounding immigration peaked from 1875 to 1930 where the US governments during that period came up with so many legislations in swift response to these tensions. In this assignment, we would analyse the important events of immigration between 1875-1930 that caused major tensions and how the US governments ...

Community policing

The police protect people and enforce laws. However, nowadays, in some communities, police officers do not consider protecting people to be the main task of their job. Instead, they abuse people, especially those with different skin color or religious views. Moreover, some of the police officers use their job to take bribes. In recent years, there have been several cases of such police officers’ misconduct. This thesis is aimed at examining whether community policing leads to less abuse police authority or not. The paper will be divided into two parts. The first part will be devoted to the issue ...

Overview

Public agencies have until recently not been engaging in succession planning. Succession planning is the process by which an organization plans for and replaces outgoing managers, executives and selected chief employees. Such employees initially held vital positions affecting the success of the organization, and preparing for succession is critical to the success of an organization in its present and future plans. The process of succession planning includes carrying out preparations of how the organization will select and recruit successors, the most effective way to handle changes between executives and how to build upon its successors (Todnem & Macleod, 2009).

In order to test the hypothesis, the goal of the research was to interpret the complexities of SB 899 and SB ...

Developing countries of the world today are facing unprecedented challenges in attaining sustainable development. Many developing countries are plagued by issues such as poverty, population growth, terrorism, dearth of qualified teaching staff, and territorial conflicts. To find a solution to this, many economists have devised various strategies both at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. Many people around the world will tell you that fossil fuel is Saudi Arabia’s greatest natural resource, but they are wrong because the children are the greatest resource. An excellent education of Saudi Arabian children is the key to ...

In the midst of a globalized world, it becomes vital to appreciate the varying types of economies carried by different nations and cultures. When examining the effects and attributes of capitalism as a whole, it is necessary to understand that not all capitalisms are created equal.

However, within these two major groupings there are many different types of capitalism, which all have their differences that make their particular brand of society unique. There are several major forms of capitalism: mercantilism, ...

The factors and actors that worked together to put ‘fracking’ on the agenda of the California Assembly and Senate are interesting because of the wide range of opinions held by the proponents ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract
In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students in this study are ...

1.0 Introduction
Generally motivation is a psychological process that refers to issues that drive an individual into action. Motivation can also be defined as the process of triggering, sustaining and guiding behavior to a specific purpose. All human behavior is usually as a result of either an external (the environment) or internal (physiological) causal agent (commonly referred to as stimulus) (Stajkovic and Luthans 34). In a business environment, the terminology “motivation” is very complex because different employees are motivated differently and by wide range factors. While some employees are easily motivated by monetary means others are motivated by recognition of their efforts ...
