Profitability is the key issue in this, and each business organization is striving not only to gain basic profits, but also to increase profitability margins.

Introduction:

I wish to tender my interest to secure admission in military college. I had a primary interest of being a soldier, and this has been a natural conviction which emanates from a very remote encounter to this discipline.  I discovered quite early in life when I was a teenager at sixteen years that I am a peace maker who is naturally very inquisitive, argumentative and critical and my father testified to this when he said that I took after my uncle who was a soldier. I could then critique the behavior of those in the fraternity of the so-called the military officials. This troubled me immensely ...

Things happen…Indeed, they do happen when you are not waiting for them. And the worst is that bad things happen to you when you are not waiting for them at all, when you are disarmed, they like stab you into your back with a knife, like a traitor…the next feeling is devastation, despair and darkness.

Lao Tzu, the author, is the initiator of Taoism. It is difficult to pinpoint a life story of Lao Tzu, which was between 570-490 BC. There are many myths about him. Some think he never existed at all, while historians can identify numerous potential historical characteristics for him. In spite of this, these legends provide the book with an appealing, human face. In the book, Tao Te Ching’, Lao Tzu reflects on the various different school of thought. The western and eastern cultures and approaches to various things including nature have always been different. One of the many striking differences ...

Childhood Obesity is as well-known problem in America. An altered lifestyle, as well as dietary habits, could account for the epidemic.

Should Criminals Be Punished With Lengthy Jail Terms Or Re-educated And Rehabilitated Using Community Service Programs For Instance, Before Being Reintroduced to Society?

Public opinion concerning criminals and punitive actions has always been one of the most disputable, arguable and ambiguous issues. At the time when some groups of people speak about the necessity of lengthy jail terms, the others believe in rehabilitation and effectiveness of treatment. In my opinion, if we want to achieve positive results, eradicate evil and prevent future crimes, incarceration should be viewed as a necessary and an inevitable punitive action.

In terms of this paper, ...

Abstract

In advertising throughout the past few centuries, women have placed in one of several limiting roles. One is the extremely thin fashion model, a sex symbol for the typical man whose main role is to be pretty and attract men. The other is the domestic partner, the woman who takes care of the house to the exclusion of all personal desires and responsibilities. There is also the incompetent, the dullard; the weak-willed woman who simply cannot handle the limited and finite duties that are burdened upon her. In this paper, the effects of negative advertising on women will be explored, ...

Abstract

This paper will compare and contrast the three named novels: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Emma by Jane Austen, My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok as bildungromans – that is, novels about growing up. Each of the central characters – Emma, Huck and Asher – grow to maturity by the end of each novel, having struggled through various difficulties. The three novels were written at very different times and are set in very different societies, but they are linked by the growth and development of the central characters. This growth is moral, not merely physical and involves a ...

Question 1

a) According to the National article, the “inextricable link” highlighted was the link that existed between the independence of the board and good corporate governance.

b) According to the National article, financial, legal and future mergers are the areas that really need independence even on a small executive board. The reason why it is very essential to have independence even on a small scale is because it would be quite expensive to bring in a person as a full employee in those areas.

c) In accordance with the 2010 UK Corporate Governance Code, except for smaller companies, at least half of the board, excluding the ...

The culture that is being embraced at the present moment by our the society has predominantly helped us have a better approach to getting to fathom ourselves, the culture being used and in particular accepting the society that we are living in. Surprisingly, Apostles and the evangelists have a commonality in their thoughts as they are convinced that the Third Industrial Revolution will sprout out numerous job opportunities more than it will shut out, and this vivid increase will go hand in hand with the high consumer demands (Mills 4).

Additionally, this will also call for establishment of new global markets ...

I had read an article from the new, which indicated that pork consumption might make one add weight. Since I was underweight, as my doctor had told me, I wanted to consume pork in order to add some weight. After consuming it for thirty days continuously, I started gaining more weight and became fatter and fatter. It is from this experience that I really appreciated that consumption of pork can improve someone’s weight, especially these who are under weight.

Gender can influence the way in which pork can be perceived. Most women do not prefer pork because they ...

Introduction

The use of police discretion is a major challenge to the police today. Police discretion is the availability of a choice of options one can take in a situation. Discretion involves making a judgment and a decision, Dempsey J. (2009). The criminal justice system involves various amounts of discretion. A police can sentence a defendant on bail or order the defendant incarcerated until trial. In police, there are huge cases of discretion because the crimes committed by the people are not always the same. The police have to perform broad discretion behind a façade of performing in ministerial fashion. The police use discretion to arrest, ...

Virtual Reality a is new, groundbreaking type of technology that is likely to change our world entirely. It is a computer-simulated experience that a person can actively take part in. It involves using technology to exist in a virtual 3D environment that provides real-time interaction. Most virtual reality involves wearing a headset and gloves, and being able to actually see and control everything that you see. There is a screen inside the headset and sensors on the gloves. People do have to be in an enclosed space that is specially set up for the process, otherwise they could find themselves walking into things in ...

The term freedom can be used by individuals in various aspects. In speech, freedom is the right to speak freely; in movement, freedom is the ability to move freely; and in society, freedom is the absence of slavery and captivity. A country on the other hand may look at freedom as the right to self rule, without any interference from another country. Human actions, when not restricted or monitored properly, can greatly result in lack of freedom. Susan Faludi in her article “The Naked Citadel” writes about men who do not want the citadel to go coed. She discovers ...

1. The Sapir-Whorf theory of language essentially argues that language is culturally-conditioned, and so the way you speak depends on your environment and your experiences and the traditions of your culture. Anthropologists and linguists are particularly interested in the languages of remote and self-contained tribes people because their lack of contact with the developing world allows the study of language at an earlier evolutionary stage of development. However, there are signs that even in European languages culture and background may play a part in the way that some languages perceive the world around them. Motluck (36) examines the gender of ...

As earlier discussed, we anticipated starting a casual Friday in our work place and we were promised that it will be put to effect.

My Criterion for Selecting Business Schools and How Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business meets these expectations. Baruch College was recommended by my accounting professor at Stony Brook University as a very competitive college with a highly reputable accounting program.

A Revolution is defined as ‘a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving’ (Julian 173). One would also say a revolution involves basic changes in power or organizational structures which take place in a relatively short period of time. The Scientific and Industrial revolutions were both a change of life, and changed the way that jobs were created along with how people created different theories regarding different approaches to creation and nature (Julian 173).

The Scientific Revolution was a period of time that included great men of the Middle Ages such as Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) to Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Historians may ...

At least once in someone’s lifetime, especially in their career endeavors and undertakings, they are bound to be challenged. The possibility of getting into a morally challenging situation in one’s career cannot be overlooked. It is probably true that once in a while, at least everyone has faced or encountered situations that put them into a moral dilemma. Some philosophers have defined a dilemma as a situation in which one has to do either A and B where both choices are incompatible (Statman 1995, p 6). I recently got into such a situation. The moral dilemma that I encountered convinced me that I was ...

Introduction

There is a high likelihood for the developed countries such as the United States, Australia and Canada among others to attract immigrants who are looking for a place where they can have a better life. However, the trouble is that, many of these immigrants do not follow the right procedure to get in to these countries. Taking the case of the United States, this country is facing a problem of illegal immigration because people, for instance, move in to the country illegally across the U.S-Mexico border, or they enter the country and stay for a longer time than required. Currently, “the United States ...

Discussion Question #1

The recent trend of making the news more entertaining only serves to dilute the importance and relevance of the actual important news stories. The peppering of puff pieces with real news detracts from the impact when a real news story hits. More time is spent on human interest stories than the actual news sometimes, and therefore people will pay more attention to that. The role of news to educate viewers can get sabotaged by the need to keep people feeling better and entertained. While the news may be seen as ‘sad,’ there is no need to force happy stories down ...

The aim of this paper is to identify the best approach of teaching English as a second language in Canada. English is one of the two official languages in Canada. It is the major language in the whole country except Quebec and most Canadians can speak English. According to the recent census conducted in Canada, 58 percent of Canadians speak English as their first language, though 85 percent of Canadians can speak English (Statistics Canada, 2008). There is a considerable percentage of people who speak English as a second language. However, Canada is now home to people of different nationalities from all ...

The main intent of this paper is rouse intellects on the issue of Katrina and reminds Americans that their fellow citizens have not yet fully coped with the disaster.

Irrespective of how well knowledgeable I am on this topic, there are still other more significant things to mull over if this presentation is to be successful. I have developed an instance of this audience analysis rooted in an in-person presentation concerning ...

I believe that teaching grammar is incredibly important – the English language, as well as language in general, is an important tool for communication, but you cannot simply know the words. You have to know how to use them, and I believe that is where grammar comes in handy, showing the speaker or reader exactly what you need to do to convey your exact message through the language.

Realia techniques are my preferred method of teaching grammar to my students. I will bring in objects to the classroom in order to be used as a teaching aid. I will use things ...

In Donald Murray’s essay “The Maker’s Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscripts,” he raises very important points about the nature of writing. To begin, he states that the real writing begins after the first draft is completed. That is the raw material, which can then be shaped into the real content. He states that “this difference in attitude is…the difference between amateur and professional.” (Murray 1) This attitude makes a lot of sense; after all, a writer must contain sufficient passion for his work that he should not just want to “get it over with,” and as such must ...

It is the goal of each individual to prosper in both academic and in life skills. Having attained my first degree, I feel that I still have the chance to further my academics in order to successfully achieve my academic goals. The field of criminology and justice has been feared by many individuals due to the amount of commitment and dedication that is required of an individual. This field of study requires that law enforcement officers first understand the guidelines stipulated within the country’s law in order to be in a position of maintaining law and order.

In corporate chain stores and huge corporations, workers get frustrated as a result of several unjust treatments. A good percentage of the employees are forced to be part-time workers since these companies want to pay for as little benefits as possible. Such companies are also temporarily understaffed making many of their employees to work overtime which, in most cases, is not paid. Failure of the employees to complete their tasks directly results into loss of that particular job. This compels the workers to go extra miles even if it means working overtime, with very poor benefits. In these big stores, ...

We live in a time when more people refuse to believe in the existence of God. The ethical guidelines given in divine revelations are being implemented to much lesser degree than ever before. Yet, the religion of Islam is growing each year at an astounding rate and Muslims are known to practice their religion in day to day lives. The ethics and morality preached through religious texts can be considered as legitimate only if they are considered to be of divine origin. The same reasoning applies to the religion of Islam too. Muslims around the world believe that the laws ...

Abstract: Feminism is the collection of movements aimed at defining, defending and establishing equal social, political and economic rights and opportunities for women. Feminism is focused mainly on issues of women even though some men are also victims of feminism such as gender and sexism roles. Feminist theory also emerged from feminist movements which include general theories about origins of inequality and about social constructions of gender and sex. Campaigns are going on for women’s rights by the feminist activists. The activists have opposed sexual harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence (McDonald, P. 2008). Joseph suggests ...

Throughout history, sections of the community in many parts of the world have adopted some subcultures quite unique to the common culture, and sometimes very controversial. Some of these subcultures actually evolve to develop into relatively new cultures, religions and beliefs, while others are short lived but leave some marks in the community. An example of such subcultures includes the hippies, punks and old religions (Falk and Falk 57). A comparison of these subcultures in their early development and their modern equivalent has been discussed in detail. Although the earlier versions of these subcultures share some common features with ...

The politics affecting Middle Eastern countries has a direct impact o world economies and politics. Yet, the political system of Muslim countries greatly differs from modern Western concepts, leading to misconceptions about the morality of such a system and doubts about its feasibility in the modern democratic world of politics. In this paper, I will be firstly be discussing how religion and politics in Islam cannot be separated. I will further discuss the rationality behind Islamic politics existing in the modern democratic scenario.

Part Four – Anthropology.

1. Man’s Creation. a. Preliminary Considerations. i. The fundamental difference between humans and angels, as Shedd states, is that “God created man male and female.” This implies that man is “incomplete if in isolation from one another.” However, angels are “sexless” which means that although they have been created with “reasonable and immortal souls” like man, they are not man or woman and are therefore, infinitely more complete than man. 1. This means that we must live at one with our alter-gender counterparts and consider each other equally as important. We are only whole humans ...

Ivory Coast is a West African nation which is bordered by Mali, Liberia, Guinea, Ghana, and Burkina Faso. Notably, to the South its border is alongside the Gulf of Guinea. According to the survey that was carried out in 2009, population in Ivory Coast was estimated to be about 20, 617,000. The country was colonized by the French and it gained its independence in 1960. This explains why the national language of this country is French. According to Janice (2004, pp. 23-25), from the economic point of view, Ivory Coast is well known by the production of coffee and ...

Personal History

I had a difficult start in life because I was born with physical disabilities. I was an extremely weak newborn and the doctors recommended a three-year stay in hospital for care and observation. The doctors were not very optimistic and even advised my mother against registering my birth with the government since they felt I was bound to die. I was eventually discharged from hospital by the age of four, and somewhat miraculously, after a few years I was able to live like a normal child. Yet, destiny would not allow me to enjoy a normal childhood. In my early teens, I made my ...

In this paper this paper will examine very closely four stories by Flannery O’Connor and justify the use of the phrase ‘the pain of the past’ in the title. O’Connor’s life and background will be briefly examined, as will the historical context in which she wrote her stories. I will also examine other common features that are characteristic of her stories. The use of symbolism in her stories will be considered. The four stories I have chosen are ‘Geranium’, ‘The Barber’, ‘Greenleaf’ and ‘Everything that Rises Must Converge’ Each of the four stories will then be ...

It is believed that long time ago many people thought that our lives in the earth are influenced by the heavenly bodies, they are: the moon, the starts, the planets, like Pluto, Mars, Venus, the Sun and so on. It is known that the rich and the famous people can’t make strong decisions by themselves, so that they follow advices of their astrologers. Today it’s very profitable to be good astrologer, because no one president or businessman can’t imagine their successful career without professional advisor.

10. There is plenty of evidence of divine design on planet Earth. The intricacy of design and processes in the world is massive. When considering this, it is easy to see how it must have been ‘designed’ by an Higher Intelligence. However, Darwin’s theory of evolution explains the intricacies in the world without the need for a divine force.

11. The Design Argument claims that an Higher Intelligence exists which designed and created the Universe. Pre-Darwin, the Design theorists claimed that evidence for this was in the apparent design of nature. Following Darwin’s theory, the Design ...

BACKGROUND

This experiment attempts to explain Piaget’s theory of cognitive development through contesting his method .It is significant that we first comprehend Piaget’s cognitive development theory.

Piaget’s approach to child development gives a totally different explanation of child development. For instance Piaget’s believe that development is a structural, systematic process. According to him, it is not only the amount of knowledge that differentiates the young child from the older intellectual or cognitive development; it becomes more capable of carrying out actions upon its environment as the child’s intellect develops which ensures its survival. Piaget thinks that ...

Sociological Perspectives

Structural functionalism is a perspective of sociology where the society is interpreted as a structure that has interrelated parts. It addresses the society holistically as related to the functions of elements that constitute it. According to this perspective society is made up of customs, norms, institutions, and traditions (Lawler, 2008, p 66). These elements are believed to be the ones working together to form what is viewed as a society. The functionalism perspective considers every part of the society as serving a purpose. If the interdependence of the elements of society is positive, peace and harmony is achieved but if it doesn’t chaos ...

I believe in autonomous leadership: leading the way through personal example. I make confident decisions and follow them through to their conclusion.

Rotman offers me the chance to learn innovative and integrative business skills that will help me in the workplace. Ultimately, I hope to achieve a Masters degree in Business Administration and I feel that this would be the first step towards ...

In the past, my endeavours to pursue such an education have been persistently accompanied by my past failures and I implore of you, please review my ...
