However, ratings for each criterion depends, in part, on the subjective interpretation of the supervisor. Rater bias and favoritism based on gender, race, age, physical appearance or attractiveness, personality, and personal relations or interests may influence supervisor ratings.

Introduction

Much recent publicity surrounding climate change has focused mostly on global warming, but little direct correlation has been given in the media with regard to the impacts that environmental pollution has on climate change, and also on human health.

The modern day society is technologically oriented, with virtually every activity being conducted with the help of various forms of technology. The implication is that the world has seen a massive rate of large-scale production of technology devices. Estimates point out that close to 50 million tons of e-waste are produced globally (Lepawsky & Mcnabb, 2010). The developed countries are the primary producers of this waste, with the role of doing away with the waste left to the poorer developing countries. In the US and Canada for example, close to 80% of all electronic waste is exported to Asia and ...

Introduction

High rates of unemployment are referred to one of the biggest economic concerns in the United States. The number of unemployed people increases substantially in the periods of economic downturn. As Stater and Wenger (2013) ascertain, “the national unemployment rates averaged 9.5 and 9.0 percent in 2010 and 2011” (p. 2). The unemployment rate serves as an indicator of “a community’s socioeconomic deprivation as well as its social disintegration or disorganization” (Singh & Siahpush, 2016, p. 9). This indicator is strongly associated with income inequality as well as levels of poverty across ...

“Governments should paly active roles in managing short run instability caused by

Unemployment and inflation problems” Introduction The reverse of the above statement is true, whereby if governments do not play an active role in fighting inflation and unemployment, the adverse effects associated with these two economic eventualities do sometimes dissipate on their own. Therefore, this paper agrees with the above statement, but will also attempt to show that various economic solutions to the short run instability which is associated with unemployment and inflation can sometimes lead to a worsening of the situation at hand, rather than its subsequent improvements (Quiggin, 2012, pg.13).

However, the desire to experience rapid economic development goals is often hampered by existence of rigidities, which are either in technological or institutional forms. Therefore, the sector ...
