Therefore, the investment decision is based on the investor’s expectation about the return, probabilities of success for different options, and willingness to take the risk (Dwivedi, 2010). Hence, a manager has to be aware of all the options and make the decision basing on reliable scientific tools. These tools are the decision tree and payoff analysis. The decision analysis ...

Parent’s Influences and Responses to Children’s Risk-taking in Outdoor Play

Introduction Parents play an integral role in guiding their children in making crucial decisions in life, especially when it comes to risk taking.

Human development is a process of providing mechanisms through which people can flourish and attain self-actualization in their lives. The rationale of human development as a process goes beyond focusing on economic development as an indicator of people’s wellbeing. It therefore incorporates other dimensions which are crucial in establishing the extent to which people would describe quality life. Traditionally, most economists have used quantitative indicators such as GDP Per capita as a measure of people’s wellbeing in a particular economy. The reality is however, different because quantitative indicators such as these are limited to assessing economic success ...

Of course Descartes’ assertion is that to us, our mind is easily known than our body. He offers an example of the wax piece that is observed both in solid and liquid forms while supporting this particular idea. His claim that perception cannot be seen, touched or imagined but rather an inspection done by the part of the mind a lone sounds convincing especially as he points out the challenges in relying on physical body senses in understanding the nature exhibited by the wax. Basing on the arguments that are brought out in Meditation II, I tend to contend ...

Introduction

Upholding ethical principles is essential to the maintenance of peace in any community. Precisely, the nature of people’s conduct in any organization is essential to the success of the institution. As such, people can determine how ethical or unethical we are by assessing our behaviours. According to Guerrette, Ethics is the philosophical study of the principles that govern the conduct of people in society [1]. Our actions can, therefore, be said to be ethical if they are praiseworthy and unethical if they are blameable. Ethics, therefore, tries to make a distinction between what is right and wrong.

Subjectivity refers to the situation of being a given subject. It used to show the quality of having experiences, beliefs, perspectives, desires, feeling and power.

Reading the chapters, I realize that just like Jesus was portrayed differently through the gospels, a person’s life is viewed differently by people. There is a specific trait or character that a person will appreciate in a person, which may be quite different from what the other may appreciate. This will depend on the occasion or place that such impact was done. What I may know about a particular person may be quite different from what somebody else knows. This hence implies that we should not be quick to judge a person basing on what we have simply been told or part of what ...

What is the difference between scientific racism and colorblind racism?

There are a few definitions of these terms, but more often scientific racism is defined as “the use of scientific, or ostensibly scientific, findings and methods to support or validate racist attitudes and worldviews” (“Scientific Racism”, 2009). At the same time, colorblind racism, known as aversive racism, is “racism that acts as if skin color does not matter – even if it does” (Abagond, 2008). These terms seem to have not much in common, however they are both devoted to justify racism. Scientific racism uses different aspects from physical anthropology to craniometry to provide some kind of typology of human populations ...

Part 1

George Ritzer defines socialization as the process that allows an individual to learn and accepts the ways of a group or society as a whole (Ritzer 154). This is the theme for this part of the paper. Individuals would always find themselves in the midst of this process as they go about their daily activities. Socialization becomes inevitable in a dynamic environment where people lives by the cliché no man is an island. For this particular theme, I find myself exploring the realm of socialization in a neutral environment—a party. I refer to this as a neutral environment because while people knows each other ...
