The Effects of Turkey’s Government Involvement in International Trade

In central and northern Europe, activists like John Calvin, and Martin Luther questioned papal power and probed the Catholic Church’s capability to define Christian exercise. Although the movement was predominantly spiritual, the attitude of independence endorsed by Protestantism steered many people to rebel in contradiction of the power of the church and the authoritative monarchs, who relied on their authority ...

Introduction Undoubtedly, the nursing profession has vital ingredients of accountability and autonomy. Also, it is true to assert that nursing profession demands more responsibilities than before when the main role of a nurse was just to provide comfort and care. In the modern world, a nurse is expected to be an advocate for clients, a manager, and an educator (Drayton & Weston, 2015). However, little attention is drawn towards the assessment of the actual public image and perception of nurses. Nurses seem to dwell in a dual structure of nursing and social worlds. The two worlds tend to influence and ...

The most special feature of such events is their local character, despite which the case becomes extremely well-known all over the world.

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 ...

Black Lives Matter

I find social activism as a modern and more effective way to create awareness about an issue or initiate a protest against one. This is because social activism promotes mass movements in societies in which it is initiated, and as such, important matters that call for everyone’s attention can be addressed with urgency and the level of importance that can bring about social change. The social activism movement: ‘Black Lives Matter’, initially originated in the U.S. and later on replicated in the U.K., is one that I am particularly interested in. Spearheaded by the African-American community, the movement ...

Stray Dogs: Issue and Solution

People and animals have had a historically controversial relationship. This led to the development of breeding farms and torturing animals in the name of science. Today, a much-contested thought revolves that animals have feelings and intelligence as well which makes them categorically as smart as human beings. As opposed to the thought that people have, animals are not only different on the basis of science and religion. However, today, in terms of globalization, overpopulation occurs not only within the human population but also animal one. Homeless dogs and their attacks on people are indeed local, but important problem, which ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672).

Analysis

Identifying the Key elements of the Resistance to Change

The reasons for people resisting change differ depending on interests and anticipation for changes.

The General Systems Theory maintains that complex systems share particular organizational principles that can be identified and modelled mathematically. Furthermore, the theory is based on the reasoning that the world comprised of various systems that are interrelated and influenced by one another (Butts and Rich, 2010). Numerous sources or articles often trigger the development of theory through the study of concepts that are related to propositions. Research indicates that qualitative research enables researchers to explore behaviours, life experiences, and varied perspectives (Cresswell, 2007). Ideally, research questions that may generate a theory should be open-ended. In most instances, open ended ...

One could hardly imagine a resident of the developed country who has never delved into such aspect of popular culture as sport – either by buying a soccer ticket, buying exactly the same sneakers model David Beckham was wearing in that Adidas commercial, following the Olympics on TV or hunting some rare baseball cards.

In the recent decades, significant societal, economic, political and cultural transformations turned sport not just into a socially meaningful phenomenon but rather in an ...
