Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Introduction Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013).

Synopsis A

I agree with some parts of Synopsis A that refers to a chain of command being created to ensure a more systematic management of the Band of Merrymen. However, I believe that the solution does not provide specifics as to how revenues can be collected. I believe that it would be best to place leaders nearby the towns so that they can be easily identified by the wealthy, which will then lead them to avoid the areas where they know that the band’s leaders are located. I think that the solution is incomplete without ...

Introduction5 Literature Review..6 Conclusion....11 References..12 Abstract Negative (opposing or intimidating) events arouse robust and speedy physiological, rational, emotive, and social reactions. This organization of the organism is accompanied by physical, cognitive, and interactive results that diminish, lessen, and even wipe out the influence of that incident. This array of mobilization-minimization seems to be bigger for undesirable events than for unbiased or positive happenings. Hypothetical explanations of this response form are reviewed in this paper. Further, it will give a verdict on whether negative bias has been helpful or harmful to the process of human evolution. It is established that ...

1) Theories are to concepts as hypotheses are to variables. Hypotheses depend on tests that suggest multiple variables. On the other hand, theories are made up of concepts ("Theory and Practice of Social Research" 4). 2) Does a hypothesis propose a relationship between dimensions or variables? Yes. A hypothesis depends on the link that exists between two or several variables. Whereby, a slight change in variable ‘A,' leads to a change in variable ‘B.' In this case, it can be almost predictable that if the first event occurs on the first variable, then we expect variable ‘B' to ...

Kantianism is an ethical theory developed by the German philosopher, Immanuel Kant. The theory focuses on the correctness or wrongness of the actions themselves, as opposed to the correctness or wrongness of the consequences of those actions or the disposition of the actor (Holzhey and Mudroch 35). Kant's ethics further hold that people are bound to an ethical duty by universal ethical rules. Therefore, to act right in accordance with Kant's ethics would be motivated by appropriate universal principles that treat everyone as an end rather than just a mere means. The philosopher further asserts that being motivated by ...

Abstract

Some theories focus on explaining developmental changes that happen to humans. The Social Cognitive Theory represents one of the many theories of psychology that explain human behavior. The theory was introduced by Miller and Dollard in 1941 and later advanced by Bandura and Walters in 1963. The main concepts of the theory are personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Other concepts including self-control and efficacy, observational learning, and many others help in understanding the interaction between the environment, person, and behavior. On the other hand, the theory operates on five assumptions that relate the theory to learning, language self-control, and ...

HRD program that is most often not done well

An important component in designing a HRD program that is most often not done well is education and training. Education and training define an employee; without it the worker is ineffective and cannot meet expectations. Authors and experts blame the educational system and the training infrastructure for the inadequate preparation of a particular workforce. You cannot teach an employee statistical process control if that employee had not mastered seventh-grade math or fifth-grade reading. Studies have shown that many job applicants are not prepared for the present job market, let alone the advanced economy they will face in the near ...

Article Summary

In this article, Maura Sellars examines the role of the teacher as a change agent through reflective practice. The author argues that it is the teachers and not education authorities, curriculum developers, or policy makers who are the most effective, durable, and powerful agents of educational change. She also contends that the reliability and proficiency of change in education practice depend largely on the capacity of teachers to develop self-knowledge and reflective practice. According to the Sellars (2012), historically, these aspects of teacher development have not been emphasized in the process of preparing and promoting effective teachers. ...

Big companies hire special managers to find proper workers. And if you have a rather small enterprise, you have to find them yourself. It’s not that easy – an ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

One of the most interesting laws created by Congress was the Cyber Security Act of 2015. It was created as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Act signed by President Barack Obama that year. The Act limited government use of collected online information and how information could be shared between different nongovernment organizations and different levels of government. The bill may also have increased government oversight as well, considering the fact that the Department of Homeland Security now has increased access to networks to protect against terrorism and espionage. The Act has a “provider exception” (Kerr, 2015), which allows individual ...

All genres of songs advocate for the audience to participate in immoral and violent acts that are highly praised. The conversations regarding this issue will not help the situation if the concerned stakeholders do no action. Music creation is dependent on the ...

By its definition, the categorical imperative is the basis of duty. By nature, Kant means that which is objective, and that which exists as a part of nature – abiding by the laws of nature (Kant 38). Kant continues by stating that in ethical considerations, or duty, one must act subjectively through one’s will to ...
