Two case studies from the private sector are presented. (Davidson, 2008) Using the case study of the Australian Gas Light Company, shortcomings in current sustainability reporting practices ...

Inductive Thematic Analysis

Introduction Drug crimes are increasingly becoming a major concern on both local and global fronts. Current research (Braun and Clarke, 2012) suggests that the thematic analysis of important data sources such as sentencing remarks would facilitate the efficacy of available strategies in these crimes. The purpose of this assignment is to analyse the themes that comprise the societal understanding of the occurrence and penalties of drug-related crime. The researcher uses information from seven courtroom sentencing remarks from Adelaide, Southern Australia. This inductive thematic analysis identifies overarching themes that are evident across all seven documents. The themes include “gender and ...

That a man should hate oneself is a common phenomenon, which everyone experiences once in a while, because of people’s intrinsic flaws. These flaws ramify into people’s creations such that there is not one thing a man has created, which does not have to endure a measure of hatred from the rest of society. The creature in Frankenstein is no different from men’s inventions, whose hideous nature was not apparent at the time of their inception, and abhorred for what passed as evil yet not appreciated for the utility its creator envisaged. The guiding question for ...

The two most influential and widely-acknowledged philosophical minds that have reformed the social theories of political strategy, social protection, and nuances of human nature, are Nicollo Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. Both these eminent philosophers worked on the social contract theory to define how the ideal state should function and succeed in its ventures under the rule of a sovereign leader . However, there are differences in the two theories, in terms of the clarity and description of the exact nature of roles and responsibilities of the sovereign ruler (Smith," Introduction to Political Philosophy.Lecture 12 - The Sovereign State: Hobbes, Leviathan"). ...

This essay will discuss the concept of interpersonal relationships and the strengths and weaknesses of Narrative Therapy within professional and family relationship environments. The client is the expert on her/his life and the therapist focusses on the person and not the problem, conducting therapeutic conversations that externalize the problem. This is the concept of Narrative Therapy (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2004, pp. 343-344). Narrative Therapy views problems as separate from people and assumes that people have many skills, competencies, beliefs, values and abilities that change their relationship with the problems in their lives (Freedman & Combs, 2000, pp. 400-404). For example, were ...

Bierstadt used light and shadow in a masterly fashion, which made his painting an extremely dramatic. Incredible contrasts reveal magnificent natural environment and its immense beauty made Bierstadt’s pictures popular. The viewer can easily determine three spaces of the artwork: The foreground is the nearest area to the viewer on the right part of the picture. This part shows a hunting scene of the Indians pursuing deer with horses and dogs. Still nearer on the right the mountain spring is visible, next to which a carcass of deer and some human items were left. At some distance three ...

Laws are established in a country so as to maintain order in the community. Laws are mainly written by leaders and failure to follow the laws leads to punishment by law enforcers or the judicial department. One may wonder whether or not citizens should follow the law without any objections. The obedience and lawbreaking issues appear to be a crucial issue in the real world as people struggle with enforcing and obeying laws stipulated in various institutions or nations. Some famous philosophers such as Socrates have played a significant role in the world of philosophy. Socrates defined and considered ...

Introduction

Islam and Muslims have been viewed in the Western world negatively and the contributions they make to the society have been overlooked, following stereotypes that are attached to the Islam region (Akel, n.d).

Islam and Muslims have played an important role and made many positive contributions to the development of the society (Australian Government, 2008).

Research into the Characters, Story, and Music of Guys and Dolls

The musical Guys and Dolls first premiered on Broadway in 1950; it ran for more than 1,200 performances (Liukkonen).
