Introduction

The financial crisis of 2007/9 was the worst in the U.S. since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was the cause of the failure of some of the biggest financial institutions including Washington Mutual which was closed in 2008, and its assets transferred to JP Morgan. In 2008, the crisis reached its peak with loans dropping dramatically to the lowest levels to be witnessed in a half a century. For example, new loans to large borrowers fell by 47 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to the previous quarter and by 79 percent relative to ...

Market discipline has evolved from the real need to address the financial concerns that brought on the last few financial crises. The international economy is tied deeply to the financial sector, and international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have been tasked with providing ease of liquidity throughout the world, while also helping to protect the flow of capital across borders to facilitate trade. These financial institutions are remarkably limited to what they can do because they hold little sovereignty over the independent nation-states that compose them; only the World Bank is effective when ...

Gender Difference and Complementarity according to Cloutier

Cloutier identifies the belief that men are superior to women because of cultural stereotypes. The cultural assumptions according to Cloutier could be drawn from the Bible where a woman was created as a helper. This implies that according to some beliefs, men and women are naturally different. Others according to Cloutier have the belief that the only reason why man needs woman’s help is for bearing children. However, as Cloutier argues, that the Western culture should no longer make people view women as inferior and created only for procreation. Since everyone is committed to the need for personal ...

The United States judicial system offers certain protections for criminal suspects who are at risk of arrest or a search without a warrant. One of the most important safeguards afforded under the U.S. Constitution is the 4th amendment, which prevents government officials from illegally searching individuals or seizing property without following standard procedure. The concept has evolved over time, and the exclusionary rule is now the primary way to defend people from illegal search and seizure by government officials. However, history has shown that this is an ineffective solution because it allows those who would have been convicted to ...

The Complexity of the Cross

Perception and perspective is often considered one’s reality. This notion forces one to acknowledge their own perceptions and perspective, particularly when it comes to their faith as they solidify and identify their own beliefs. For those who belong to the body of Christ, each member has its own journey formulating a testimony that is based on a personal relationship that is rooted in the loving grace of Jesus Christ. Within each life with Christ, there are complexities that only the grace of God can heal. In spite of life’s injustices, evil forces, sinful flesh, and degradation, the ...

The controversy over the understanding of ethnicity and ethnicity unfolded in America and Europe in the early 1970s following the collapse of the colonial system. Many foreign and domestic scientists are engaged in the consideration of the complexity of inter-ethnic relations that has arisen within countries (the so-called “ethnic paradox of our time”). Most of them in their studies refer to the concept of social constructivism (Berger, & Luckmann). This approach allows one to display the natural multiplicity of ethnic identity. Supporters of this trend claim that the ethnic consciousness can have multiple layers; it can be forked and split ...

Q- How we see post-modernistic approach in John Barth`s short story & in what way? John Barth's short story "The Night Sea Journey" is an example of a post modernistic approach. Postmodernism actually means, treating a thing or a character in such a way that is completely different from what it actually is. For example in this short story we first see a person talking, later we realise that it is a sperm who was the narrator in the entire story. Right from the beginning the spermatozoa addresses himself as a person who is in doubt, wonder & despair. The sperm narrating the story as human ...

Introduction

One of the most important elements in leadership is continuous personal development. This is achieved through engaging in professional development and from feedback and experience (Zuzelo, 2010 p. 3). Through this, this paper will discuss the development of problem-solving skills. Driscoll’s model of reflection will be used in this case. This is because Driscoll’s model allows for asking of the “what” question (what happened in the situation). This is then moved on to the so what (what was the feeling, was it a good or a bad one) and now what (if the situation ever occurs again, what ...

Establishing whether human senses and sensory data can be relied on in providing an accurate view of the world is highly controversial.

The paper examines the reliability of the human senses and interpretation of sensory information.

Reasons for Believing in the Accuracy of Sensory Data

The first the rationale for believing in accuracy of sensory information is based on the process through which humanity perceives experiences. Barth, Patrizia, & Klein, (2011) identifies perception as a sensory experience ...

In the ruling delivered by Judge Carol Los Mansmann in Schurr v.

Introduction In simplest of words, theology is the study of religions and religious beliefs. Some scholars choose to call it the science of deities and divinity. But atheistic scholars do not very much approve of theology as a viable branch of study or ‘science’. Nevertheless, theology has been helping religious people understand, follow and even reform their religions with time. The great theologians in history have acted like a guiding star to bring changes in religious beliefs and rituals. And in the course of past several centuries, the major religions in the world have been modified mainly because of these ...

For many years, America’s economy was regarded as the largest and leading economy of the world. However, today it is fairly clear that the America is facing economic problems, and there seem to be no savory solutions to address these problems.

Not only factors from within the country, but even international factors have contributed to this problem. Domestically, the financial crisis of 2008 cruelly brought the feebleness of the U.S. economy to the surface. ...

Karl Bart is often called to be the modern "father of the Church" and is included to the list of the most famous theologians in the history of Christianity. Future generations will not stop talking about him as nowadays we talk about Augustine and Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Schleiermacher. “Barth is distinguished from neoconservatives like Neuhaus, with their apology for the satisfactions of capitalism, and aligned in social intent with latin American liberation theologians like Gutierrez and Segundo”(Hunsinger 5). It will be appropriately to say that as well as Schleiermacher dominated the theology of the XIX century and ...

The 70:20:10 model was developed in the mid 1990s through a research by Michael Lombardo and Robert Eichinger. The model is based on the argument that development is based on the identification of a need and the motivation to act to meet that need. The model is also based on the assumption that a combination of different learning approaches can provide a powerful learning experience. The model states that development will be 70% from on the job experiences, learning and problem solving, 20% from feedback and from working based on learning from examples of the need and 10% from formal learning. The theory ...

The idea of postmodernism in literature is one of the most predominant notions existing in criticism today; though its definitions are often loose and unmoored, there are many specific notions about its application to a great many aspects of modern society, from its books and its written works to culture itself. Fredric Jameson, in his essay "Postmodernism and Consumer Society," he denotes the ambiguity that permeates all manner of consumer culture and literature in today's age; pastiche and schizophrenia are touted as the means by which postmodernism translates to the modern day culture. N. Katherine Hayles, on the other hand, ...

Airline Industry Consolidation

Air travel in Europe remains to the largest and fast growing industry among other travel industries. It enhances faster economic growth, international investment and world trade making it the centre of globalization in other industries (Closs, 2007). With consolidation, separate airline joins their forces on equal or relatively equal terms and form a new company. This is aimed at improving investment returns by cutting down costs and improving productivity gains. Small competing airlines incur high costs and in turn run unprofitable performance. This drives them to join and create smaller number of large companies (Lawton, and Tazeeb, 2011). Consolidation ...

There are various forms of alternative or otherwise dabbed complementary medicine that has seen major disparities in their application. The reason for this change and views between complementary and alternative medicine and evidence-based medicine is the fact that medical practitioners who rely solely on what Barthó (2010) terms as chemical and the other approach that is dabbed natural have different effects. In this research paper, the learner will take a closer look at homeopathic medication and relate it ...

The discipline of anthropology studies humanity. Its origin can be found in the natural, social sciences, as well as humanities. The term itself came from Greek, where anthropos meant mankind and logia meant study or discourse. For the first time the term was used in the beginning of the XVI century by Magnus Hundt, German philosopher. In order to understand the whole complexity of humankind, anthropologists apply knowledge from different disciplines, such as sociology and biology, as well as physics and humanities. The other disciplines, in their turn, cannot get full-scale-view of people without anthropological perspective. The central concern ...

Introduction

“Group therapy is an effective opportunity through which group members are involved in “companion struggles” to cope with the feelings related to mistrust and alienation trauma (Gyle, 2006, p. 267).” In adults, cognitive, psychodynamic, and supportive behavioral models have been used in group therapy. However, this paper specifically describes the cognitive behavioral approach together with features of unique group therapy. It is apparent that as a result of exposure to trauma, group therapy is an appropriate approach although it lacks the evidence of enhancing prevention to the trauma related to psychopathology.

In this article, a rationale is detailed for group therapy ...
