Family Rights

1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

The epidemiological distribution of Zika Virus shows that women who traveled in the area of Little River after August 2016 should wait for eight ...

Introduction

The First Persian Gulf War was triggered in August 1990 when Iraq invaded neighbouring Kuwait for their oil reserves and ensuring their debts were cancelled. Iraq’s leader Saddam Hussein claimed that Kuwait were guilty of slant drilling and over production, of crude oil, which significantly hurt the Iraqi economy as they were reeling from the after-effects of a long war with Iran. Different historians present their own reasons for the start and the First Persian Gulf War and factors behind the involvement of the global coalition to defeat Iraq.

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). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Introduction

The Ebola virus has existed for centuries. Like all life forms and viruses, it has been changing and adapting since the beginning of time to survive. Despite this the disease did not make itself known until the twentieth century. However, once the virus revealed itself only three major outbreaks have occurred. There were two in 1976 and one which took started in 2014 (CDC, 2015). The latest outbreak has been the longest and worst, effecting numerous countries such as, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia and Senegal in West Africa (CDC, 2015). This paper will look at the scientific aspects of the ...

Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit). The rise of the pre-colonial era, and immigrations, slavery and the way people drifted towards different shores in search of power can all be accounted to the present day situation that we face in America. While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

In an analysis of the documented homicides in Chicago, Ford Fessenden and Haeyoun Park’s Chicago’s Murder Problem reported a pattern that until recently remained predictable and somewhat within the same range as other cities in the United States. According to the reporters, between 1996 and 2003, there was a steady decrease in the homicide rates before “progress stalled” in 2004 and murder-related crimes remained stable until 2013 (Ford and Park par.1). However, by 2014, Chicago's homicide rates assumed an “upward trajectory,” and the writers presume that they remain so as tensions over race and police conduct continue ...

With thousands of health centers spread all over the country, Planned Parenthood has wide reach that ensures Americans have access to reproductive health.

While the House Republicans claim ...

There has been increasing awareness of the role of waste in the production of greenhouse gas emissions and its impacts on climate change. Diminishing natural resources has led to the recognition that what is discarded as waste has the potential to be reused as resources. Governmental legislation on prohibiting toxic materials and prevention and control of the volume of waste has helped in decreasing adverse environmental effects. There is a growing public awareness about waste prevention and its beneficial effects. The society has to replace the linear model of extract-produce-consume-dispose to closed Loop's approach of resource recovery and waste ...

INTRODUCTION

Throughout human history there has always been crime, from the most petty of crimes to the most heinous of criminal injury, abuses and murder. The most gruesome of crimes are those involving murder, whether premeditated or “heat of the moment,” which carry heavy criminal consequences. These cases are tragic, but no murders are more disturbing and shocking than those committed by serial murderers. These are killers who torture, dismember and murder victims in very specific and very ugly ways that are an extension of the killer’s needs. There have been many serial killers who have become famous for ...

Appendixes 18 Introduction France has been debated on their expatriates’ citizen lately due to the expansion of expat workers. It is seen negatively as some politics state that it is a “lose of brains” for the country because of the crisis and fiscal pressure of the government (Biacabe & Robert, 2014). The French system is often criticized due to the high risk that entrepreneurs are facing when they open their business in France. For instance, as Jean Tirole who awarded the Nobel Prize in economic, explained the French labour ...

Yes, I am aware of the age of the Anthropocene. As has been widely discussed by global scientists, the influence of humans on the earth’s environment is significant. These activities have led to what has widely been termed as global warming, triggered by higher concentrations of Methane and CO2 in the atmosphere. Humans have introduced new changes from a geological perspective such as the production of roughly 300m metric tons of plastic each year . The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) is the organ that decides the age or the time period that we live in . The process of ...

1. Routine Message: I was quite comfortable with Konrad Yakabuski’s assessment of our health care system. That is, until his last paragraph, where he states, “Younger doctors, motivated by more noble goals than money, seem to get this” (Doctors Don’t Get It: Health Care is a Team Game, Aug. 18). I am a 66-year-old family doctor with almost 40 years of practice under my belt. Fortunately, I really don’t need the money. I resent the implication that “older” doctors are less “noble” than younger ones. Most doctors were not looking for a personal boost to their ...

This paper sets out to analyze the overall impact of a physical evidence of a service organization on its target audience. The purpose is to assess the ways in which different aspects of the underlying physical evidence manage expectations of the organization’s customers and to find out if there are any positive or negative gaps between promising and delivering the components of services communicated through physical evidence. London Bridge Hospital has been selected for this purpose. It is the largest hospital operating in the healthcare industry of London (Official Website, 2016). Physical evidence of the hospital is composed ...

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine how curriculum impacts students who are considered as at risk. In addressing this research question, it is quite implicit to first determine the prevalence of at risk students. The introductory part of the paper provides a statistical overview of the status of the country’s students who are considered as at risk. The population considered in this paper is only limited to students who have not yet graduated from high school. It also provides a background on how curriculum on pre-college education was developed, particularly in the United States. It also ...

Buddhism, like all the other Eastern religions, originated from “Animism”, which is the belief that everything in the universe has an essence, a spirit or a soul. As a way of life, it is similar to the other religions in promoting morality, generosity, kindness, harmony, and respect for all living beings including mother nature. Alike Hinduism, Buddhism believes in the following: 1. Reincarnation, wherein the soul is reborn into another body based on the level of spiritual attainment from the previous life. 2. Karma, which is either the positive or the negative effects of an individual’s actions. 3. ...

Industry Environment

According to the U.S. Dairy Export Council (2015), there were 9.3 million cows which produced 93.4 million tons of milk in the United States in 2014. The country has about 50,000 farms under dairy farms which are majorly family-owned (U.S. Dairy Export Council, 2015). Dairy farming is practiced in all the 50 states as well as in Puerto Rico, and it is the leading agricultural business in Arizona, California, Michigan, Idaho, New York, New Hamshire, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. 74 percent of dairy farms in the country have less than 100 cows, and the average ...

The world today is seeing more immigration than ever before, both legal and illegal. While countries forging solid links with one another in the vein of the European Union (hereafter referred to as EU for brevity) has encouraged legal immigration of all kinds, while war and deprivation in various other parts of the world has led to a burgeoning refugee crisis, with more people entering Western countries than can be adequately or carefully handled at any one time. These forms of immigration can be seen as quite different to each other at face value; however, when looked at in ...

Introduction

The Institute of Medicine, U.S.A, identified global health problems as health concerns that transcend national boundaries. These health issues are influenced by environment prevailing in other nations. Thus, there is a need for cooperative action from countries across the globe to find solutions to these concerns. With the kind of high mobility seen today, an epidemic outbreak in Africa, can readily spread to rest of the globe, if measures to contain its spread are not taken on a global scale. Polio eradication, containment of influenza virus, policies to restrict tobacco use are examples of policies that were instituted to ...

Health Care is a Right, not a Privilege

I believe health care is a right and not a privilege. Medical care is an essential component in individual’s well-being. Public policies create a significant difference in the healthcare industry by creating equity and promoting the right to care (Leppo, Ollila, Peña, Wismar, and Cook, 2013). The federal government is keen to implement policies that enforce the provision of healthcare services to all citizens. For instance, the establishment and implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) aim at improving the access of medical services. Under the ACA, the citizens have an obligation of paying health insurance premiums. ...

“Professionalism is knowing how to do it, when to do it, and doing it”,. Often we witness the term ‘professionalism’ being used to describe a wide range of skills, attitudes and behaviors; thus creating confusion. In order to eliminate such confusion, it is rather important to understand what professionalism really means and how to practice it. The crux of an array of formal and informal definitions illustrating professionalism is that the term refers to the specific skills, qualities and conduct required by a certain occupation. Although brief and vague, this definition efficiently captures the comprehensive nature of the term. ...

The prison has become a much more dangerous place since the coming in power of California’s big four gangs. Prisoners are being forced into doing their bidding while they involve these unwilling participants in drug trafficking, contraband smuggling, and assaults. The same is what professor Vasquez says in lecture 2 for week 1, that if they order a crime; the inmates have to get it done. In case they refuse, they have to face ‘consequences’. The urgency to take action on these prison gang members is because they have the power to be extremely notorious and they never ...

With the conclusion of the World War II, the world witnessed the emergence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) with the major purpose of protecting the dignity of all human beings. In 1993, the World Conference on Human Rights acknowledged that these human rights are universally relevant and applicable and no questions shall be raised about their authenticity (World Conference on Human Rights, 1993). Nevertheless, critics from around the world oppose the universality of human rights. Therefore, this essay asserts that the nature of the human rights’ universality is questionable. In the beginning, a brief discussion concerning ...

According to my perspective, the employees and managers behaved that way for a number of obvious reasons. The foremost was the pressure to make high profits, as well as, to meet the impractical and unhealthy production quota of slaughtering 500 cows every day. In addition to that, the employees were told that they would be only able to get their salaries and sustain their jobs, if they will meet the defined target. As revealed by one of the employees, the supervisors pressurized employees to slaughter and processed 500 cows no matter what it takes as cost in order to ...

Food-borne Illness

Food is the basic necessity of every human being. It has evolved into many forms, making it easier for people and animals to consume them. However, there are still circumstances wherein food can cause not only harm to people, but also deaths. One way by which this can occur, is through food-borne illnesses and diseases. Food-borne illness, or more commonly known as food poisoning, is an illness that is caused by consuming food that are contaminated with bacteria and chemicals (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015).

Food-borne Disease Outbreaks

Food-borne illnesses are conditions that people should not take lightly because though ...

The four stocks which I chose for the couple who have just retired are 3M, Facebook, JP Morgan Chase and Capital One. I chose these stocks because over the years these companies have exhibited substantial growth. They are already mature companies; thus, less risk is involved. Furthermore, they have registered high yields during the past years. For 3M, its second quarter 2016 results showed an EPS of $2.08, up by 3.0%, year-on-year. Moreover, the company has also declared $1.5 billion in dividends and gross share repurchases. The future for 3M looks bright as it has developed a new advanced ...

In Human Resource, the selection is nothing but picking the right person for a particular task having the expertise and knowledge (Mathis and Jackson, 2010).

Importance of Selection in HR

The importance of selection refers to recruit any candidate for a vacant position. This importance has a certain requirement for education, skills, knowledge and expertise for any industry to be fitting to the desired job. It is explicated by using two fundamentals of HR: “As tough the criteria, easy to go.” Testing from every end at the time of selection, make understanding for a candidate to the required output by an industry. “Wrong choice, ...

Percentage of fat the athlete’s diet

Fat is a fundamental source of energy for the body. Importantly, fat provides approximately nine calories per gram which makes it a dense macronutrient. In strenuous athletic activities that last for about 6 hours, fats can offer about 60 to 70 percent of the energy required (Clifford & Maloney, 2011). Fats consumption in a diet of an athlete should be less than 30% of calories. Since athletes need a lot of energy, it is good to retain their fat intake at sufficient levels. However, depending on the activity, the athlete can decide to keep their fat intake at a minimum ...

Autonomous cars

The emergent technology chosen by me is ‘Autonomous cars.” Description: Autonomous cars are driverless or self-driven cars which are an innovative and relatively newer form of technology. A few of them have been tested on roads and highways as a means of experiments for validating their success and safety (Fehrenbacher, 2016). While generally the roads are a place of immense traffic, there is great risk associated with a car driving without human intelligence behind the wheel which may cause an accident and loss of life. However, technology is planning to change this conception and move artificial intelligence to another ...

Introduction

The area under study in this paper is the region of Greater Brisbane. The capital city of Brisbane is the third most populous city in Australia, and has recently launched a detailed Infrastructure Plan towards 2031 to improve the city and to plan for projections of increased future population and changes in the age demographic of Greater Brisbane. Data from the recent Australian Census is not yet publically available, so data in this paper is based on the latest available figures, which in some cases are derived from the previous census in 2011, and in other cases are government ...

Videoconferencing software is a powerful tool for project managers who are required to use virtual solutions to communicate with team members or need to enhance their information delivery (Blau, Weiser & Eshet-Alkalai, 2016). Specifically, video conferencing software can facilitate the execution of the organization’s strategic plan. This is because as an organization continues to grow and become multi-national or global, the workforce becomes proximally distributed across the world, hence, there are challenges for project managers who need to communicate with a team that is an inter-regional or international audience (Daim et al., 2012). There is a multitude of different ...

On 23rd June 2016, Britain voted out of the European Union through a referendum. The decision by the Britons marked a momentous occasion in history as different consequences were seen. These implications were both political and economic. For instance, the freedom of labor was curtailed--immigration, trade between Britain and the entire European bloc was reduced, and the sharp decline of the pound followed. This paper strives to explain the economic implication of Brexit both in Britain, and the world. Since the inclusion of most European countries into EU, Britain has experienced immigration from the different member countries. The figure ...

While perpetually expanding to Asia Pacific regions such as Singapore, India, Japan, and Taiwan; it has now chosen Shanghai as its new corporate destiny. With the aim of Chinese expansion, the ...

On August 30, 2016, Laura Dimon and Ginger Adams Otis wrote an article for The Daily News under the headline “Protesters gather in NYC to show outrage of skyrocketing EpiPen prices.” The article highlights a controversy that is ongoing as this is typed – the price of potentially life-saving EpiPens has increased fivefold in the decade since Mylan Pharmaceuticals acquired the product. One of the clear economic concepts that the EpiPen controversy demonstrates is elasticity of demand. As Guo (2012) points out discussing price elasticity of demand, the concept is simple. It is intuitive as well. When prices go up ...

Abstract

A complete and thorough health assessment can help in the correct diagnosis (Dingman, 1941). According to a famous saying “A case well taken is half solved”. A well taken case should include complete description of the patient’s mental, physical and social well being. Mere jotting down of physical signs and symptoms may not give the true picture of a disease. As every patient is a different individual, thorough case taking is required in order to establish the individuality of the patient. Many features of the patients may have a role to play in his or her health, therefore, ...

The Purpose of Apologetics

The modern word “apologetics” is derived from a Greek word which has the meaning of defending, making a reply in order to give an answer and legally defend. Originally, the notion “apologia” implied a defense in a legal way which was given as a response to the accusation. In its modern usage, apologetics has a wider range of meaning. In its wide scope of meaning, apologetics is a Christian theology branch which aim is to provide the defense of authority of Christianity, divine origin and rational justification of Christian faith claims. The goal of apologetics is to persuade of ...

Alternatives to Incarceration

Alternative to incarceration refers to a punishment other than involving jails or prison for an individual who is found guilty of a crime. There has been a history of alternative punishments with a special focus on past few decades. Here, it is also important to mention that juvenile are individuals that have not reached the mature age or have not grown into majors in legal terms (ACLU, 2016). So any crime committed by this category of individuals will be regarded as juvenile delinquency or juvenile crime. Several alternatives to incarceration for juvenile have been introduced over the period of ...

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

The core values St. Leo’s represents is applicable to the debate surrounding the ACA. St. Leo represents and firmly believes in community and integrity. The ACA is reportedly designed to provide for the welfare of the community, meaning Americans at large. The issue surrounding the ACA is that many say the provisions lack integrity due to various different reasons. Regardless of these issues, integrity is often defined as doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. World leaders and policy makers have a responsibility to maintain integrity to benefit the communities in which they live, whether ...

Persons with special needs are often overlooked in our society. For a long time this population was viewed negatively, often under the strict impression that they were incapable of contributing meaningfully to society. They were destined to be dependents of the state or forever inclined to charitable contribution. They were often segregated from society in institutions, incapable of ever learning how to function in the greater whole. One such area in which their neglect was especially great was in recreation. Often times play areas do not illicit feelings of joy among the special needs population because of their unadaptable ...

Importance of Nursing Theory

Introduction Nursing, in general, refers to the nurturing and caring for a sick person. But over the years, such duties are institutionalized and carried out in a professional and scientific manner. Today, nursing has become a specific profession. Nurses are formally educated in their field and trained in the science and art of nursing, which have been developed over the years of study and research. Although, one does not need to have a background in the nursing profession in order to perform such task, caring and nurturing becomes more effective for those who are knowledgeable and experienced in nursing. ...

The commitment of clients towards the company is probably the most precious asset that the company cannot even show in its books, yet it strives day and night for the same binder from these people they call their customers. This struggle is even more intense today than it was ever before and as per the standards of today, the client also wants to ensure that the company cares not just about the profits it makes but also about the people that it works for. This commitment of any corporation towards the society that it operates in is what we ...

Markers and standards of a high quality early childhood classroom

High-quality programs are defined by a sense of purpose, which means that high-quality childhood institutions know exactly the required standards for their institutions.
