Essays on Archival

The central thesis of Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw is that price decision making should prevail over political decision making since markets have been the driving force for world events (Yergin and Stanislaw, “Commanding Heights p3 New rules of the game”). The authors are trying to prove how the once commanding economy has lost its reputation since the desire to command and manage the top levels of the economy has shrivelled. They achieve this by interviewing different major players from different nations. Keith Joseph is portrayed as Britain’s “Minister of thought” as he worked alongside Thatcher, both of ...

Introduction

In a perfect world all students of all ages would have someone there to rely on to make sure they have the support needed to get through school. We are not only talking about your standard classroom teacher. We are talking about someone that is experienced and knowledgeable in many different areas, not just in one. These individuals are mentors and can be in the form of teachers, parents, administrators, counselors, etc. The literature seems to indicate that there are numerous mentorship programs happening at the public and private schools for high school students. Some of the programs cater ...

Business Intelligence and Data Warehouses

Business Intelligence and Data Warehouses The term “business intelligence” have come to define the efficiency with which an organization can improve over itself without the usual uncertainty that comes with such decisions. With the rapid expansions of many global corporations, understanding and analyzing huge amounts of transactional data (of all their activities), have become the only solution to manage their future as well as current actions. Most often multinational corporations find themselves at loss whenever rapid business decisions need to be taken which, to the desperation of many corporates, will go on to define the future of their company. ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

In a case study, an individual person, school, business, or organization is described in detail. This type of study shares a lot of characteristics with naturalistic observation, in that this individual is observed in its natural habitat, without any sort of intervention provided. Case studies tend to outline the history, symptoms, behaviors and reactions to treatment and situations in this individual. They offer insight into the life of the subject, and can offer an ethnographic detail of how people or organizations thrive or function given certain circumstances (Cozby, 2008).

Resources:

Resources are a set of tools to ensure the success of the research (Locke, Spirdoso and Silverman, 2000). These, above all, are research plan, team performers, deadline, information resources, technical means, the distribution of labor and financial resources necessary to process the results (Key Elements of the Research Proposal). In order to conduct the research effectively, the appropriate research plan was developed as well as the deadline till the end of the semester was set. Thus, using available resources, it was found that taxes are a major part of government revenue in close collaboration with government spending. On the one ...

Introduction

Cultural institutions like museums, archives, historical societies and libraries home reasonable collections of various artifacts and documents. These institutions are endorsed with the responsibility of preserving, protecting and providing mature stewardship for all available materials so as to ensure a continued long period accessibility. Advanced technology allows institutions to offer expanded education and access but there are essential priorities which ought to be addressed before embarking on the digital conversion of archival management. Digitization and archival management includes doing a physical job on top of analoging items. Digital documemts are imported to other files and controlled with the usage of software ...

Background

Witness Protection Programs are an extension of law enforcement that is shrouded in secrecy. Originally developed to protect organized crime witnesses, these programs now have wider application (UN, 2008). In criminal cases involving members of organized crime, witnesses testify at risk to their own lives, or personal safety, as well as those close to them. This is not the only group with whom a witness may find themselves, and their families, in peril. Over the years, Witness Protection has evolved to also include other well-resourced individuals and groups who are facing criminal conviction, such as despots and war criminals finding ...

Practitioners of engineering help the community by creating solutions for a future that is sustainable. The Code of Ethics provides principles and values that create the decisions made while in the practice of engineering. Lately, because of the recession in 2008, construction projects spring up with engineers lacking regard for the Code of Ethics. Monetary needs sometimes blind them from doing what is proper and ethical. (Lewis, 2007, p. 35). Members of Engineers Australia are committed to practice according to the Code of Ethics and accept the fact that they will be held responsible for their conduct regulated by ...

1). If I was using the archival method to archival method to conduct “research on sex differences in emails,” I would not have to collect data from emails, the required data from the emails would already be available. Since the data would already be collected, it would not have to be reviewed. Moreover, the men and women would have given their permission to use their data in research during the creation of the archive. Above all, if I use the archival method, I would not be able to introduce changes in the behavior of the participating men and women, ...

- Advantages of Using Archival Methods Archival method allows one to study how men and women use different statements in e-mails by allowing a wide coverage of data and across long time spans. This means that the data to be analyzed will be distributed over a wide period of time including those of earlier times.

Disadvantages of Using Archival Methods

Archival method makes use of the publicly available data and therefore it has a limitation in accessing private information that might be necessary for research. Some of the statements made by people might not used in e-mails but can be applied verbally that can be accessed ...

Archival research is a research method which makes use of publicly ready documents and records as the main source of data. It involves the analysis of data from present archives and public records, including genealogical archives, census, and economic and political surveys (Marshall & Rossman, 1995). These sources are used by the researches as first hand data or for primary analyses. They also serve as baseline and comparative data in studies using other research methods (Marshall & Rossman, 1995). This research method enables the researcher to study people from the ancient days, including their attitudes and behavior even when these have transpired ...

In The History of the Devil, the idea of Satan as a philosophical and psychological figure throughout history is examined, in a History Channel-documentary style program that demonstrates the new direction for these kinds of televised documentaries. The filmmakers present an extremely slick and sensational documentary with this film, offering many different interviews, powerful narration by a haunting British voice, and many moving illustrations that are dynamic and provocative. The beginning title splash card involves a ...

ABSTRACT

Stanley Elkins proposed a groundbreaking theory about the effect of oppression and totalitarianism on subject races, one that drew from multiple academic disciplines. James McPherson’s interpretation is more fact-based and less theoretical, drawing from anecdotal archival sources to develop an environment-centric picture of slavery in the Antebellum and Civil War periods. Ultimately, the success of African-Americans in all walks of life have tended to show that, as abolitionists argued, servility was a temporary product of the powerlessness of their situation in the plantation South.
