In addition, the company had reported its revenue before receiving it under the leadership ...

Abstract

For an agreement to be considered a valid contract, it should have four vital elements that include an offer, acceptance, intention to be under legal consequences, and consideration. If any of the mentioned terms are missing from the contract, it is not legally binding. Objective theory of contracts is a legal notion that rejects the enforcement of thelaw that appears to be too good to be true. The contract, according to this theory, is binding only if a reasonable person from outside will judge objectively that the offer has been made, and it has been accepted. The soft drink company, in ...

In gender theory the concept of women as a unified, homogeneous group is challenged through the theory of intersectionality. This theory states that the status of being female is not the only defining characteristic in oppression. As opposed to there being a unified experience of “female oppression” which defines all oppression experienced by women, oppression is defined by the interaction of gender with factors such as class, sexuality and culture (Carbado, 2013).

The movie Pariah displays a number of intersectional facets that interact to create identity. Gender and sexuality are the most obvious intersectional factors explored in the movie. However, Alike’ ...

Introduction

Dr. Kallman, a maestro of risk management has authored several articles regarding the techniques used in risk management. Other authors offer varying approaches and techniques to risk management. Heinz-Peter Berg is another scholar whose approaches to risk management are revered. The two scholars agree that businesses ought to ...

Today, there have been many sources available over Internet, from which we can get information. They can even provide us with the necessary facts and figures.

Although Mickey has two homes in the Cayman Islands, the home proposed in the offer seems to be specified if he ...

Introduction

Infidelity refers to the act of unfaithfulness by a sexual partner and in most cases a spouse. It could also be regarded as a situation in which a spouse is adulterous or a partner is disloyal. Infidelity normally causes a lot of havoc in a relationship because of the betrayal of trust that is associated with it. As such, the partner who has been cheated on tends to harbor a lot of bitterness and anger. In my case, I would forgive my partner for cheating on me because of a number of reasons. Furthermore, I would do so through a step-by-step process which would ensure that the same problem ...

Analysis

Clearly, music videos function to enhance an artists’ idea, and help the listeners understand the exact message they are trying to pass. As much as the music videos help an artist in making more money through more sales, they are vital in expressing the artist’s ideas. Therefore, music videos are more than just ideas, and when bonded with the lyrics, they create a perfect picture of what an artist is singing about. Evidently, this can be seen in Avcii’s video called Wake Me Up. His musical video creates a story about two stars who seem to be lost and ...

Thesis: There is a misrepresentation of the two sex system that is used in society. The central theme which is addressed by Fausto- Sterling is the fact that there are lots of people who are born of other genders away from the most recognized dimorphism and that many other people do not understand the normality of this possibility. People should, therefore, understand that apart from the two known and acceptable genders, there are three more which should also be accepted which are herms, “merms” and “ferms”.

LOVING THE UNLOVEABLE

In the story of Ruth, Naomi and Ruth went to Bethlehem to make a fresh start in their lives. As a widow, Ruth needs a kinsman-redeemer in order to have a man to take care of her. However, that she was a Moabitess makes her chance to be accepted by an Israel slim. By God’s perfect will, Ruth met Boaz – a relative of Naomi, and a wealthy man in Bethlehem who owns the field in which Ruth was working. Since the time they met, Ruth found favor in the sight of Boaz, and he extended grace upon her. As the story goes on, Ruth ...

The works of Ursula LeGuin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” and W. H. Auden, “The Unknown Citizen” highlight that rebellion against the norms in society come along with high costs involved.

Debatably, personal responsibility is as one’s ability to wholly take care of oneself by means of treating oneself with respect, keeping healthy, keeping a sound mind and managing one's emotions. Personal responsibility is basically taking responsibility for one's actions and accepting the consequences that come along. It is the overall conscious that one has to willingly accept the importance of every individual and standards that are established in the society. It could also mean that individuals do not have to blame others or other factors outside themselves for failure to meet their expected goals and standards. In ...

In this project I want to test whether students who live with their families dine out more than those who do not live with their families. I also compared among the families and males and how much they spend whenever they go out to dine. I have determined the confidence interval for the students who live with their families and for the proportion of students who do not live with their families.

Anybody who has read or watched The Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice & Fire Series –would agree with me that it is a series that shows every facet of deception used by humans. According to Merriam-Webster, the word “deceive” means, “to make someone believe something that is not true” or “to cause to accept true or valid what is false or invalid.” Deception is a form of dishonesty that is used everyone, every day. And the characters in this book are able to show how it is done so to achieve what one wants; whether it is something ...

- Rationalization refers to the act of providing a seemingly logical (rational) explanation to a certain behavior that otherwise may seem weird or not adaptive. As a defense mechanism, it is an individual's way of finding a middle ground between the Id and the Superego. The Id is in charge or urges and emotions, and the Superego reflects our perception of what society expects and what is considered acceptable. When a certain desire or emotion does not coincide with societal expectations, even in terms of not being within the acceptable norms, it creates tension between the Id and the Superego, and it is up ...

Poetry and song share common themes or ideas. Each idea is carefully crafted to create a mood or tone, to tell a story, or simply to entertain an audience. Either way the reader or listener is left with different feelings and emotions. The writers make use of figurative devices, rhymes, rhythm and imagery to create the overall mood and atmosphere. In the poem “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickenson and the song “Flirted With You All My Life” by Vic Chesnutt, both writers view the inevitable nature of death and the impact death has on an individual’ ...

Throughout the novel Jane Eyre, the central character constantly grows in her understanding of misfortune and forgiveness. In the beginning, the young heroine suffers her fate but is unfalteringly vindictive towards those who are mean to her, like her aunt Reed, with little consideration of their fate.

In Helen Burns, Jane experiences her first encounter with unquestioning understanding. Despite all the antagonism from her teacher and Mr. Brocklehurst, Helen ...

Alternative 1: Invest $20000 in the NewestHighTech.com when it goes public. This is a very good investment option for Dara.

Instead, she stepped on her man, became so arrogant and never gave him any attention. What mattered to her was her freedom and career. However, the result was more hurting as her husband decided to cheat on her. Upon realizing this, she owned up and took a full responsibility for her husband’s infidelity. ...

A few decades ago, beinghomosexual was resentful. Homosexuals were strictly judged and condemned for their sexual preferences and were presented as people with mental illness. In fact, though, homosexual people were not treated as mentally ill, rather than annoying parasites that societies had to ban in order to gain back the lost balance and morals. It was considered unethical to choose a partner of the same sex and have a common life together as a couple. Back in the 1940s and 1950s, gay bullying was worldwide, and homophobia was very serious in the US at that time (McCormack). It seems that societies ...

1. What is the purpose of ethical conduct, and on what criteria would you evaluate your conduct? Ethics is collective values that define the accepted standard of right or wrong. Individual values are determined by factors such as beliefs, culture, upbringing, and exposure and life experiences. Knowledge of being right or being wrong is not a guarantee that a person will always behave in an ethical manner. For a person to acquire good moral traits, they must willingly abide by the acceptable ethical standards. Ethical conduct is like a guiding principle in making a sound choice or steering a person towards the proper course of ...

This is a case of Juli and Steve and their positions on the issue whether the release or publication of certain works of art, which in their case was the Laramie Project should be regulated in an event that not doing so creates the possibility of igniting public unrest or compromising the community of individuals who are not involved in the dispute. In the case, Steve argues that the public release of the Laramie Project should be cancelled and be ultimately banned from the campus. Juli, on the other hand argues that there is nothing wrong with publicly releasing or ...

Admissions and Confessions

An admission can be defined as a statement made by a person that points towards the guilt of the maker of the statement and more often than not suggests participation in the crime. Admissions are usually made on specific facts in issue. Despite the fact that an admission tends to point towards the guilt of the maker of the statement, admission does not construe acceptance of personal responsibility for an allegedly committed crime. On the other hand a confession is a fully corroborated statement acknowledging all the essential elements of a crime and as such construes acceptance of personal responsibility for committing a crime. ...

My life has been characterized by constant struggles against various hurdles. It is a difficult world to adapt to in normal circumstances, but it is an altogether different story for people with different ways and traits. The world seeks the segregation and differentiation at all levels; it is nobody’s fault, however, as the world demands competition and struggle for survival the fittest.

Racism is an issue that occurs everywhere regardless if it is at work or in school. It scars the cultural, economic, and political life of an individual whether acts of racism are done subtly or not. In many ways, racial and ethnic discrimination blur the lines of what are accepted and unaccepted norms and behaviors in society. People who have issues about other people’s races or ethnicity usually use violence and verbal abuse to show superiority and make others feel inferior. In schools and universities, one of the issues that confront America now is whether or not to ...

Review and analysis

In the article, Harris et al. (1999) uses parallel group trial, randomised, controlled and double-blind designs with the intention of providing comprehensive and unswerving data. I find it rather unsatisfactory to use such designs in a small sample size of only 990 patients in a single hospital (Harris et al., 1999). The clarity, reliability and dependability of the data could have been improved by using the various designs in different hospitals or areas to increase the coverage and enable comparison. It would also have eliminated the financial constraint that seems to have adversely affected the final analysis of the data and ...

A peace officer is a constitutional officer who is under an obligation to uphold the tenets of the constitution and have a high moral standing. Bluntly put, the ethical world for peace officers is quite complex. Besides the moral standing expected of them in ensuring that they are persons of character who are governed by universal ethical duties as encapsulated in the Six Pillars of Character, they are also subject to professional ethical standards that govern the profession. Since they constitute public officers of employees, they are also bound by a wide set of principles that avail an overarching set of standards ...

There are two major types of contracts; written and unwritten. Unwritten contracts are also known as oral contracts. Written contracts are usually a signed agreement between the parties. Written contracts prevail in courts of law over oral contracts when there is a dispute. Some contracts are partly written and partly oral.

Contract formation acts as the evidence for the formation of the contract. Contract formation helps the parties to the contracts to ...

A social norm is an accepted behavior in the society. Norms have been gradually developed in the society because of interactions among people who live together to form a society or community. Examples of norms are washing hands before eating. Looking at someone when he or she is speaking to you, giving someone his or her personal space and many more. Norms vary from society to society. There are societies that consider a certain mode of behavior wrong. However, when we observe another society, the specific behavior is accepted. For instance, in an American society, shouting when calling somebody is unacceptable. ...

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed of sound at room temperature using the microphone connected to a computer. Sound travels at a speed which is comparatively higher than the speed many objects. Consequently, the determination of speed of sound is technically challenging task. Most experiments rely on echo which is a reflection of sound to estimate this speed. The speed of sound at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature of 0º C is 331.5m/s. The experimental value of the speed of sound is expected to be less than the accepted value because low winter temperatures.

In his book Animal Rights and Human Obligations Peter Singer makes some interesting arguments concerning the issue of animal rights.

His main argument is that just as we, as a society, have learned that all people are equal, regardless of skin color or gender, we need to learn that all animals are equal, regardless of species. Because this assertion may, at first encounter, seem absurd, he quickly clarifies what he means by it. Singer does not suggest that all other animals have exactly the same rights as people have. He uses the example of men and women: “Many feminists hold that women have the right to an abortion on request. It does not follow that since these same ...

Introduction Beatty, Samuelson and Bredeson (2013: 252-235) identified seven elements for the creation of a valid contract between two principals: offer, acceptance, consideration, legality, capacity, consent, and writing. The offer must be of serious intent, reasonably definite, and communicated to the offeree (Ashcroft and Ashcroft, 1999: 57-58). The acceptance must unconditionally agree to the terms and communicated (Beatty, Samuelson and Bredeson, 2013: 252, 231). A consideration must be received by both parties ( ...

Ethics are defined in the Business Dictionary as: “The basic concepts and fundamental principles of decent human conduct.” The definition also refers to “universal values such as the essential equality of all men and women, human or natural rights, obedience to the law of land, concern for health and safety and, increasingly, also for the natural environment” (Business Dictionary n.d.). Ethical standards are very much ingrained in a particular culture and – more specifically – are a result of an individual’s upbringing within society in his/her native culture. Because that is so, individuals within one family are quite likely to have a ...

SCENARIO ONE

Conflicts at workplace are common and especially in healthcare where a single mistake can result in greater loss. In this situation the internist is speaking louder and being angry but he has not used abusive language which means that there is a chance to settle the conflict easily. Moreover, until the time of conflict there had not been some great loss or repercussion which means there is a chance that the conflict can be resolved in a friendly way. So, for this purpose, I would suggest that one party should remain calm which in this case should be the radiologist. This situation needs ...

Office floor cleaning is held as a service offered by the UCC. Since the UCC article 2 & article 9 covers only sales and/or cleaning as a franchise service or as an added complementary action to a sale, Serviceco’s contract will not be enforceable under the Uniform Commercial Code.

The musical, “Kinky Boots”, is a comedic, yet dramatic representation of how society views people with a different sexuality and how they react to controversial issues. For this specific musical, transvestites are presented as “loud, unattractive, and full with underlying issues and problems” (Kelly). It depicts an unrealistic dramatization of how transvestites are considering that they are often portrayed in a comedic manner, not actually giving justice to who transvestites really are. In the story, the main character is Lola, a black male who dresses as a transvestite and is not accepted by his own father. While stereotypes often depict transvestites as outlandish and ...

Are Men Held To Unrealistic Standards in Terms of Gender Stereotypes and Expectations

When people think of gender inequality and unfair standards they usually think of woman and the struggles they have endured and continue to endure in the world. They faced gender stereotypes like a woman’s place in in the kitchen or the home not in the working man’s world. They still continue to face a world that holds them to different expectations. We don’t often stop to think of the struggle men are constantly dealing with. The truth is men also face their own challenges to try standing outside of the normal expectations and not be labeled a stereotypical man. ...
