This paper will argue that despite habit, custom, and the existence of God, one does not know in fact if the future will be a resemblance of the past. Basing on the works of famous philosophers Immanuel Kant and David Hume, we’ll come to the conclusion that no one can foresee one’s future even on the basis of strict knowledge of the past and even having habits and customs that presumably have to ...

Employee engagement and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)

Employee engagement is an organization approach aimed at ensuring employees commitment to their organization’s goals and values, and motivates them to take part in the success of the organization. Organizations expect employees to offer more of their potential and capability. According to Rich, Lepine & Crawford (2010), employee’s motivation leads to high levels of job performance. On the other hand, employee engagement is relatively related to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Employee engagement to their workplace determines their commitment to the organization, hence promoting OCB (Bhatnagar & Biswas, 2010). Total engagement of employees to their duties increases the occurrence of ...

Love is difficult to define as a concept; it carries philosophical, social, cultural, political, biological and even spiritual meanings to many people for many different reasons. However, despite the differences in culture and attitude, love is an enduring concept that is found in most, if not all, modern cultures. As people, we are bound to others in a need for connection and bonding, but what fuels that connection? Is the thing that powers our need to love the same as mental illness? Is it a biological imperative or a social one, and is it healthy either way? It is ...

The paper argues about the human mind exhibits unity; that it can perceive various activities occurring at the same time together as elements of a single conscious state. The unity of consciousness is fundamental to human cognitive functions. It is the basis in which we merge our senses and our minds to recognise, act and react. The unified consciousness is responsible for our ability to make comparisons based on our senses weaving it into one experience.

The notion of the unity of consciousness is the basis of cognitive research stemming from notable work by Descartes, Leibniz and Kant. Descartes’ ...

Government agencies are in most cases mandated with essential service-delivery and thus are often non-profit in nature. Hence, they are riddled with a culture of inefficiencies and underperformance. This paper will evaluate organizational culture, particularly in government agencies, thus the term organization will strictly be used to refer to government agencies (the civil service and the public sector in general).
In this ever dynamic business environment, management strategies are formulated every once in a while. The broad purpose of the so-called strategies is to enhance performance at the organizational level. For this to be possible the work ...

Domestic Violence

“Domestic violence” can be defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and other systematic behavior [designed] to be part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.” It is a contagion impacting people in every community regardless of social station in life, age, gender, racial background, nationality, or religious pursuit. This action is commonly followed by psychological abuse and extreme domineering dispositions against the other partner; however, this is only a fraction of the structured pattern designed to force and domination over the other. Ultimately, the action of ...

It appears that we, as a global society, are in the midst of a serious dilemma. While it would be foolish to under-utilize the power of our most recent communicational technologies, it has become apparent that there are legitimate and dangerous side effects associated with our current involvement with, and application of, cyber technologies. In this project, I will be studying the relationship between recent advances in communicational technologies and architecture, in order to analyze the current benefits and setbacks of both cyberspace, which has been created by various technological media, and the actual physical spaces which we live in, so that interpersonal communication in our physical world may be improved through the careful integration of the powerful and endless capabilities of cyberspace Gustavo Fischman(2005, 191).

The poor have always had to struggle throughout the generations. Often marginalized, the poor are whittled-down to a statistic. The poor represent different things to different people. Poor women, in particular, often find themselves with limited incomes, single parent responsibilities, low employment levels, and a need to receive aid from state and county welfare programs. This general aid includes government provided medical care. However, with the passage of recent healthcare policies, the types of therapies and treatments offered to and made available to poor women is changing.

It is thus advisable for creditors to make their decisions based on the five Cs of credit model in order for them to assess the creditworthiness of their respective debtors properly (Strischek, 2011, par. 1).

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.

The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior. Therefore, when organizations plan their strategies to ‘guide’ consumers, they do so by studying these factors and using them to design and market their products or services. This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort ...

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 “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for example, the inspiration ...

Central to this line of morally-grey antiheroes is Marvel Comics’ the Punisher (aka Frank Castle), a man with no superpowers – just an ...
