Essays on Bible

Many scholars and theologians have debated on the use of the word ‘kingdom’ in the bible. This comes amidst the believe that Christianity is not a political movement but rather some sought of welfare and humanitarian organization. This is because of its indiscriminative doctrine of accommodating any person that is willing to live up to the commandments. Kingdoms have always been considered self seeking movements that are not necessarily concerned with the needs of the people but rather their leaders. However, when we look in the bible, God intended that the world be one, with him as the ultimate king. ...

Life is always about learning new things, getting exposed to the new phenomenon and the realities that life throws at you. On several occasions in life, I came across an incident or an event or some tragedy which I have studied before and I know the theoretical ways of dealing with the situation. In such situations, it is easier for me to adjust and adapt to the incidents, events as compared to the situation when I have no clue about the situation. In such situation, I was not willing to accept or anticipate the phenomenon in the first place. ...

Contrary to the many supernatural beings or deities worshipped by pagans or other atheists, God has been described as the only true being that controls and gives life. It gets complicated when one attempts to prove this fact since religion is heavily based on belief. The bible does not at any point define the word God. Our working definition therefore is based on what has been described in the bible and other journals that give a description. Despite not emphasizing on the definition of the word God, the bible is full of description of his actions which portray this supernatural ...

I. Introduction In the United States, corporal punishment is still a contentious issue. Many different groups have done research on the subject, and the issue has been thoroughly investigated from a variety of different angles. Corporal punishment is generally considered to be acceptable in the United States, although in other countries it may be more acceptable or less. For instance, in Europe, some regions still have cultural mores that accept corporal punishment of children by their parents or guardians as acceptable; others, like the Scandinavian countries, for instance, have a nearly zero-tolerance policy insofar as corporal punishment of children is concerned ( ...

The scopes trial is also famously known as the scopes monkey trial and was a trial which involved the state of Tennessee against John Thomas Scopes. The charge against scopes was teaching evolution. Apparently back in 1925 it was illegal to teach anything about evolution in schools that were funded by the state. Back then people believed in the divinity of the bible. Anything in the bible was considered truth that was incontestable by any human being irrespective of the evidence at hand. Teaching evolution was tantamount to blasphemy against morally accepted truths by the people. The Buttler act made ...

In today’s hectic lifestyles, it is common for people to experience circumstances that are very difficult to handle. No individual is immune to challenges and it is these problems that enable people to grow and mature. The manner in which people deal with these problems differs markedly. According to Crabb (1977), people react to difficulties in life with feelings of guilt, anxiety or resentment. Counseling can help an afflicted person to deal with life’s challenges. The American Counseling Association’s mission is to improve the societal quality of life through enabling professional counselors to develop, advancing counseling ...

Religion plays an important role in the life of humanity that each person feels the need of being part of a religious sect because of the spiritual hunger that is naturally created in man (Hammond 4-10). Despite the fact that atheist do not want to recognize the existence of a supreme being, they still have to find something that will cover up for that spiritual need due to the spiritual thirst created (Yinger 90-95). There is usually that hunger and thirst within my spirit to know God more and even let Him guide me in everything that I do. I realize ...

Today's European civilization stems from three main sources . These are the Judeo - Christian heritage , a legacy that certain people brought from their ancient land , as in the case of the Serbs praslovensko legacy , and the legacy of antiquity. In ancient times the dominant civilization was just Greece . Hellenic culture with the conquests of Alexander of Macedon quickly spread to the East , while the West over the Romans . She thus became the basis of complete today's culture of European nations . Decisive influence on the lives of the ancient Greeks , their way of thinking and view of the world had their ...

The main focus is on Genesis chapter one and the biblical creation stories. God created man and woman in his own image to rule over his creation (Petersen and O'Day 10). In this creation story, man and woman are equal. This story was developed to refute the Babylonian mythologies of creation. According to these myths, god created man to do what he did not want to do himself. It signifies man as being created in order to work for god (Spence 45). However, in biblical creation, man and woman are created in the image of God. This signifies the ...

Grief is a fact of life that is inevitable. Through loss, pain and suffering in any way, one goes through grief, with each individual with their own way of handling grief. How one chooses to handle grief is entirely up to the individual and their personality, their environment and the social support structures they have to aid them through this process. In an attempt to explain and understand grief and the process of grief, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross hypothesized the “grief cycle”, otherwise known as the five stages of grief. In this paper, I will seek to critically look into the ...

- Question on Philippians 4: 10-13 Paul is writing to the Philippians while addressing some of the pressing issues of the new church. In the book of Philippians, Paul focuses on thanksgiving as important to the Church. Here is the paragraph of the verse: The structure of each sentence starts with the (I), thus reinforcing the individual aspects of the story. So what about the other grammatical arrangement of the essay? In many sentences, the subject and verb alone cannot express a complete idea. The idea only becomes whole with the help of verbs and other nouns. Different verbs ...

Nothing in the world is as fascinating and interesting as religion. There are several religious groups that have their own beliefs and teachings that they belief are the only right one. It is through this keen and critical view that faith can be looked into. Christianity during the patristic period was more diverse than anyone can imagine. There were very many groups that had different approaches towards Jesus Christ which happens to be the blueprint for their beliefs and way of worship. In the book Lost Christianities by Bart Ehrman, Christianity is put on the spot. Ehrman seeks to ...

Gilgamesh was in search of eternal life, immortality. This was because after witnessing the death of his friend, he realised that he was mortal and that death can come for someone at anytime; he wanted to stop it from coming to him. There is a similarity between this story and the biblical story of Noah and the ark. In both stories the Gods are believed to have been angered to the extent that they wanted to punish the people by using floods. Both Noah and Untanpishtim were asked to build an ark/boat and to enter with their families together ...

Introduction Christian Science and Scientology have had conflicting beliefs, prompting believers in each group to accuse the other of being a cult. The two groups have different beliefs and principles concerning salvation. Comparisons can be carried out to establish the similarities and differences between scientology and Christian Science.

According to Christian Scientists, salvation is an attainment of something spiritual. Salvation involves truth, life, love and it prevails over death, sickness ad sin. When salvation is attained in one’s life, they demonstrate truth, love, salvation and life. Their conscience is also freed from earthly things like sin, death and ...

The explorations of Christopher Columbus remain to be an integral part of history especially regarding the colonization of the Americas. One of the key things to realize is that Christopher Columbus though an explorer did not directly gain materially gains from his travel expeditions to the new continents in the Indies. Columbus was working for the Spanish Crown, and the gains that he obtained were to benefit the Spanish thrown. Columbus in his part did not find affection in his fame of exploration, but was more concerned about the spread of religion, in this case Catholicism, to the new ...

Karl Jack Bauer’s The Mexican War (1974) does describe the United States as the aggressor in the conflict and concedes that President James K. Polk was motivated by the desire to expand the borders to the Pacific. Indeed, there was never any real question about this in either the U.S. or Mexico at that time—or later. He justifies this action by asserting that that this type of expansion was inevitable, and if it had not been carried out by Polk’s administration then some other one would have done it eventually. Although the U.S. president preferred to ...

In today’s world, where democracy is the determinant of the political systems, voting processes are paramount political tools. There are various electoral systems used in the United Kingdom.

Hilton, Choi, and Chen’s article in the Journal of Business Ethics, “The Ethics of Counterfeiting in the Fashion Industry: Quality, Credence and Profit Issues,” discusses the ethical dilemmas that persist in the fashion industry relating to counterfeiting of fashion goods. The immensity of counterfeiting is illustrated by the authors’ example that “Worldwide the International Chamber of Commerce estimates that seven percent of world trade is in counterfeit goods and that the counterfeit market is worth $350 billion” (345). They identify the possible ethical basis for analyzing fashion counterfeiting as utilitarianism, distributive justice, the Moral Rights of Man, and ...

When analyzing visual art there are many different ways to interpret a painting, sculpture, or work of architecture. Often we think that art should convey factual knowledge about when a piece of art was made and the context it was created. We may also think that the role of art is to discover meaning within a visual image and explore how we respond emotionally to them. Form and content should contain a message. However, there is no true definition of art. Yet the most recognized one is, “Visual art is human expression in a visual form.” (South). When interpreting what a visual work of ...

When carrying out psychological tests, I-O practitioners are under obligation to observe the rights of their respondents or patients. The patients have rights such the right to informed consent, anonymity and privacy. These rights pertain to individual information revealed to a psychologist. Psychologists must always handle this information carefully because it is confidential.

Privacy refers to personal details that are sensitive. When psychologists interview and assess patients, they have access to this sensitive information. Since the patient has to reveal the sensitive information, there are rules that oblige a psychologist to keep this information private and confidential. If the psychologist reveals ...

This article begins by talking about the five hour-long presidential debates in Egypt on May 10th. It notes that the candidates discussed global political issues and not simply those of their home country. These two candidates represented opposing views, and according to the article “perhaps the most crucial fault line in regional politics”. The ...

However, the company intends to change this notion in order to receive more donations and improve its viewership. Its goal is to attract a younger oriented audience then they have in the past. This will pose as a challenge since they intend to market the same values in order to retain the older and more cultured older generation. It would also invite new donations that would be attracted by the young generation.

The letter talks about the Bible and how it cannot error if the people interpret and understand its true meaning. In the letter, Galileo urges the Duchess to pursue experience and necessary demonstrations when making conclusions about the nature. It argues that the Bible cannot speak untruth. Although he agrees that, at times, the Bible may give statements that are different from what its words portray, proper interpretation is essential to avoid errors. Galileo goes on to tell the Grand Duchess that is necessary to assign to God’s feet, eyes and hands and forget the past deeds and ...

One challenge that was met when installing the e-procurement systems at MCD was the integration of the information systems from all the departments and agencies. It was hard bringing all the information and making it as one. Another issue was the transition process. It was hard converting the whole process.

Productivity in the work place is dependent on many factors that surround the working environment of an individual.

I believe that among all careers available today, those dealing directly with people are the hardest. Although it seems so easy to communicate with human creatures, it is actually a tough task to accomplish. The problem is you cannot get into other person’s mind and retrieve the information you need, you can never fully understand what their intentions are, finally, you never know what to expect as a reaction to your words. Considering all above mentioned, I can assume that my excellent communication skills can be defined as one of the qualities that distinguishes me from others.

The subway system in the flooded within hours of the hurricane and efforts to make it usable might last up to four days. There is ...

Outsourcing refers to the practice of delegating to a third party the performance of some parts of the value chain that used to be done in-house. The make-or-buy decision is usually based on the cost-benefit analysis and aims to eliminate non-value adding activities or processes that the company does not have competitive advantage in. It is possible to distinguish between onshore and offshore outsourcing. Onshore outsourcing implies that the partner companies are located in the same country, while offshore outsourcing or offshoring implies that the outsourced activities are going to be performed by foreign entities (Jacques, 2006).

Originally outsourcing was ...

Probably one of the most notable characters in all of Shakespeare’s works is Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. However, as it is evident among literary critics and commentators, this character is often confused to be either an evil person or a religious one. Since he kills and is always willing to do so when he chooses to, others say that he ought to be seen absolutely as an evil person. In contrast, since Shylock experienced more wrongdoings from others than did his own wrongdoings towards others, many argue that he should be sympathized and be considered a religious person. ...

Describe how change was led

Regardless of Brazilian Embraer being the fourth largest commercial aircraft manufacturer in the whole world from year 2000, the management did not have the best leadership of change. For close to thirty years, John p. Kotter a Harvard professor, has been in the process of change and believes that there are differences between the leadership of change that have previously succeeded and those that failed. It is for this case that the Brazilian aircraft has not been constant in leadership especially when it comes to maximization of profits. The organization did have a dramatic change, something ...

A rapid growth of technology did bring certain advantages and disadvantages to the modern world. However, I strongly believe (or at least I would like to think so) that there are not as many flaws in technological boom as most people suppose. Perhaps, we simply did not have enough time to adapt to all the dramatic changes that took place in the way we live. I personally consider social media and instant communication to be among the most important inventions of this era – our task is to take the best out of it and make it work for ...

Several institutions developed in both France and England in the 13 and 14th century and these institutions were behind the civilization of western countries. The first institution was the church. Many crusades were made in these countries facilitating the spread of Christianity. When church became an institution in these countries, leadership became a major issue and specifically the catholic leaders became too much involved in political affairs. They controlled monarchy in England that had a lot of power (Noble, 156).

Schools are some of the other institutions that were very important during the period. Many people got their education during the ...

According to Nye (p.52), the 21st century global power keeps on shifting from states all the way to the non-states participants, besides shifting east-west. These power changes can either be transition which is power change among the states and power diffusion which is change from either east or west states to non-state participants. Power has two divisions which are; hard power and soft power. Hard power is define as the act of changing people’s position towards an individual’s side by using financial coercion, threats or inducements (Bohorquez, “Soft Power”).

Many people believe that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2002 had replaced the focus of natural hazard management in the US. The homeland security on natural hazards management was a big question when it came to the establishment of priorities. However there is no doubt that the homeland security department was more focused on the consequences of disasters, both manmade and natural. In a nation’s effort to establish national disaster priorities, it is these calamities that call for a renewed focus and reconsideration. One of the recent events that raised the topic of homeland security’s natural calamity priorities ...

Some panel companies adopt community approach in order to improve the engagement of the panel members. The main goal for this is improving respondent retention and cooperation. Companies reach the sense of community through different initiatives, such as ability of respondents to post comments at the end of the surveys, to post their own polls for other panel members, create their own discussions, use avatars and images and chat with other members. Companies also use some innovative techniques like focus groups and research communities. The issues are that with this new community approach companies had to cede ...

As a student at Humber College, I usually use the computers at the lab quite often. I do this to check my mail and research on class work.

When I arrived at the church, there were about 10 young men and women in the church. Two ladies were standing next to the large oak ...

A combination of factors has played a role in facilitating change in the role of individuality in white collar employee working conditions. First, globalization has affected almost all parts of the world. With this, people are seeking for employment from every corner of the world. It becomes difficult to adopt the same working conditions with the new type of employees. These new employees are used to different working conditions and this has necessitated changes in the working environment (Jetten, 2006). New breeds of educated people who are seeking jobs have led to the changes in the characteristics of the ...

Dowsing is a method used to locate underground objects of interest such as water, valuable minerals, and unmarked graves. Early dowsing was also referred to as water witching since it was mostly used to locate the presence of underground water. Dowsers use a forked divining stick when locating underground minerals and water. The stick is gripped inflexibly in each hand with the forkedend pointing upwards. As they walk over the ground, the stick is twisted suddenly as though moved by a powerful unseen energy. The stick is turned, and the forkedend points down to indicate the location of the water. Different types ...

Students at Yale University have recently developed a metallic material that increases the physical toughness of a metal, durability, and malleability. The new developed metallic material is known as Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG). The students attribute the success of developing this metallic material as being similar to the discovery of synthetic plastics in the past century. This is because the development of this new metallic substance has allowed them to mold metal into different shapes. Some of the things that they have been able to create using the new discovered BMG’s include metallic bottles, the cases used in the making ...

Looking at the disunity of the Caribbean region, I could not help but wonder whether the cultures of the inhabitants of the area have anything to do with the problem. Just as there are many different communities in the region, so are the diverse cultures. To aggravate the problem, the people in the Caribbean are not ready to accept change. They seem to value what they term as their sovereignty. As each group seeks to keep its sovereignty, it so happens that there is no room for unity. The situation is so bad that even in some unified countries ...

Stress can be defined as an external force impinging on the individual. An effective stress challenge is important to an individual since it enables them to learn.

Hormones that alert us whenever there is a stressful moment are very important since it may cause us to fight or run away(Bjorklund, 2010).

The nation-state is one of the fundamental and important political entities for a coherent coexistence within a particular society (Rotberg, 1). The nation-state is a structured means through which important political/public good is delivered to the community. A nation-state is normally led by a government and should the legitimacy of such a government be put to question by the citizens, it is therefore shunned and efforts to keep the nation-state together eventually fail. In the past several nations have been considered failed states however most of these nations have been able to recover and develop a country. One of the nations that stand out as a ...

The Postal Age, a book written by David Henkin and published in 2006, gives a historical account of the revolutionary changes in communication borne by the establishment of postal services in the United States. Although the practice of passing written information from one individual or place to another through a go-between can be traced to the early days when writing came to the fore, the establishment of postal services took place much later. In this interesting read, The Postal Age, Henkin examines the chain of events that led to the burgeoning of postal services, and how this was the turning point in ...

The article “After birth abortion” was written by William Saletan to support the idea that after death abortion is similar to the normal abortion. The author argues that as far as abortion is allowed, then after death abortion is allowable since there is no much difference. The author supports this by explaining that in both cases, the mother has a choice on whether the child should live or not. In both cases, live of the fetus is ended and the difference in the two cases is the time when the live is bought to the end. According to the article, ...

Throughout history, slavery was always a brutal, violent and coercive system of forced labor, but plantation slavery in the Americas was the harshest version of all, particularly in the sugar-producing areas of Brazil and the West Indies. Over 90% of African slaves were sent to these areas and the death rate was so high that the African slave trade continued to supply them illegally into the 19th Century even though it had been officially abolished. Aristocratic elites of large landowners dominated all slave societies, which tended to be politically authoritarian in nature. Slavery was also a profitable and expanding institution at ...

1. Is my primary audience external or internal?

My primary audience in this case is Jeff Clarke who is an employee at the hotel. This necessarily makes him an internal audience, as he is part of the organization’s operations (Snell & Bohlander, 2012). In addition, unlike the external audience, the organization has direct control over him.

2. What are some key demographics about my audience, such as age, gender, family situation, etc.?

The most important demographics of my audience can be focused in two categories namely the primary and secondary audience aspects. The demographics of Jeff Clarke include ...

Islam, Judaism and Christianity are popular religions across the world. Martin (3) noted that these religions represent almost half of the world’s religious believers, with Christianity and Islam coming first and second on the world’s most popular religions respectively. They have some features in common, but continue to fall into conflict often just like it has been throughout their history. This paper has two parts. First, it notes the common elements to all the three religions. In the second part, it evaluates both historical and contemporary conflicts with respect to these religions, and the efforts that have ...

The orange county, a municipality in United States was declared bankrupt on 6th December 1994 after loosing about $1.6 billions due to risky investment strategies i.e. over leveraging purchases of structured notes and fixed income securities.

Robert Citron who was the county treasure gambled with $7.5 billion public pool with a strategy of borrowing short to go long. Being a star performer he wanted to raise higher income without increasing the taxes, as he believed that medium term investments had higher returns than short term investments.

It would be intriguing indeed to read an account of the initial colonization of Africa or the Americas by the indigenous peoples instead of viewing events through the ideological filters of the Europeans who landed their ships on these new shores, motivated by God, Gold and/or Glory (and not necessarily in that order). While there are many works that effectively describe the ways in which the entities in power had complete control over those in the new colonies, the story of Kurtz in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness may be the most compelling portrait in all of literature of ...

The concept of breach of peace, which is a common law1 practice rooted in the English system of laws, exposes one to charge for the commission of absolutely anything. The mischief intended to be addressed by the originators of the term was that the peace of the Queen2 was to be protected and defended at any cost. From a legal perspective, it could be codified exactly what could cause the breach of the peace. The main qualm in the case was that the peace had been breached. Many common law countries have exported the law into their jurisdiction carefully omitting the ...

Communication is a vital facet in today's’ social setting. The complexities emergent in the current settings are as a result of divergent contributing factors that entwine to yield an amiable stance. In different cultural settings, there are belief systems that are both emergent and sustained based on different contributing reasons. For example, most cultural festivities are as a result of an incident(s) that happened in the past which individuals and communities hold with high esteem. Such incidences are celebrated mostly with a lot of marrying, pomp and color. However, there is a challenge that emanates from fathoming the origin of a given cultural practice. ...

The Puritans of the 17th century remained an extremely patriarchal people; their primary goals were to glorify God and place their earthly passions behind them, all the while placing men in positions of authority, leaving women little choices for activities and positions (Bremer, 1976). According to Edmund Morgan, "the central Puritan dilemma was the problem of doing right in a world that does wrong." If this is to be believed, then the works of many important Puritan authors would express this dilemma through prose - their feeble attempts to make right this flawed world that they lived in. In this ...

In today’s world, people follow many religions. Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam make up five of the most followed religions in the world (Diversity Committee, n.d., slide 5). It is interesting to compare and contrast the creation stories of these five religions in order to better understand them and develop some personal thoughts about them. According to the Buddhism, the world’s creation began when a queen from the kingdom of Sakyas had a dream about a silver elephant entering her womb, and when the queen recounted her dream to some priests; they predicted that she would have a son. ...

The information provided by pharmacokinetics is important in the discovery of new drugs and in screening drug candidates. It helps in drug research and can determine the concentration of a drug present in the body. The discovery of new medicines not only depends on pharmacological activity but on pharmacokinetic parameters as well. Pharmacokinetics includes absorption, distribution, metabolism and execration (ADME). Absorption is the absorbing of a drug in the blood stream. There are two types of absorption, passive and active. The physico-chemical properties are responsible for passive transportation while the active transportation determines the binding of a molecule to the target site. ...

Every organization fosters its own leaders, each with individual leadership styles. According to Kurt Lewin, these leadership styles could be classified into three categories, of which the best is considered to be the democratic style. Even if there are leaders that come very close to one of the three styles identified by Lewin, I believe that some leaders could be combining the styles or slightly deviating from them in their work. This paper aims to explore my past experience in order to indentify a real life case of leadership and compare it to one of the leadership styles formulated by ...

History plays significance role in the human life since it involves changes, role of material circumstances, and various historical events.

In the recent years, very many athletes in the different fields of sport have been found to be using drugs to enhance their performance. Well known athletes have tested positive for drugs that are used to enhance performance and other many instances have gone under without being reported. It is so disappointing in such cases where an athlete is seen to be doing very well in their sport and later on speculations on the use of performance-enhancing drugs or steroids arise. The most bothersome thing about the use of these drugs is that the users put their lives at ...

Scholars are able to determine how the early people lived from the artifacts these people left behind. Such artifacts include; burial sites, weapons, wall paintings and also the structures they constructed. A good example is the Machu Picchu in Peru, an antique city, that archeologists use to extract information about the ancient people. Another example is the Aztec and Mayan pyramids (Spielvogel 2010).

The pre-historic Amazonian culture was very difficult as opposed to how the archeologists had assumed it. Although the soil there was very poor to support agriculture, they still practiced farming. Due to this disadvantage, prehistoric civilizations ...

Technology is important in transformation of the market place since it brings up new paradigms in marketing. The transformation that takes place in the marketing sector results from the high spread of technology. Technology has become very persuasive in today’s businesses and industries. The only existing companies today are the technology companies. Technology has spread at a very high speed into the products as well as the marketing place and workplace. There has been an increase in the number of computers purchased everyday compared to twenty years ago (McKenna, 1991, p. 1).

The new technology has a defining characteristic of ...

Aura refers to the ability held by the distinctive, unique work, which under modernism is honored by the tactics of mass reproduction (Benjamin, 1968) The history of man art can be traced way back in the early ages. The fine arts that man enjoys today was developed and established in times that were very different from today. In those times, man’s power of action upon things was inconsequential when compared to the present time. The astonishing growth of man’s techniques, the malleability and accuracy they have attained today, make it a safe bet that thoughtful changes imminent ...

When organizations are employing new workers, they aim at getting individuals who have the necessary skill that are needed in their organizations. One of the competencies of the job applicants is the skills that they posses. However, in most cases the new employees may lack some of the skills that the employers may be seeking from them. The difference between the skills that the organizations need and the skills that the employees possess is the skills gap. This research paper will discuss skills gapping and how it is applied in organizations such as health care organizations (Nakayama, 2001). ...

There are numerous factors in an organization’s macro-environment that naturally affect manager’s decisions.

The state of Maryland has been posting exceedingly impressive economic data recently. The economy of the state seems to be robust. The state recorded 1400 more jobs created in August alone than in July. The sectors driving this demand and supply are government spending, accommodation, food services, and scientific services. The state currently has one of the highest recovery rates after the recession. The post-recession job recovery rate is 8% and represents a particularly serious spike in jobs. Further, the state’s takings from taxation topped 4% above the 2011 figure (OWIP, 2012). The increase in sales tax receipts this ...

According to the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, PTSD is “a debilitating condition that follows a terrifying event.” Habitually, individuals with PTSD have tireless alarming thoughts and memories of their experience for months or years after the event. There are varying statistics on how many American soldiers who have returned from Iraq have since suffered from PTSD. However, according to the Lizette Alveraz, this number could be as high as one in five. Interestingly, of these, only a little over half have pursued mental health treatment (Alveraz).

There are a variety of treatments available for PTSD. Some of these include ...

In the long history of human development, one of the most controversial matters was human history itself. Only those who do not have to deal with history directly or study it in depth might consider that it is a definite and simple narration of the past events and their cause-effect relation to the contemporary events of human civilisation. On the other hand, for historians and researchers on political studies, history is as interpretive and changeable as human life itself. While tracking of certain events might be relatively easy and common historical time line is synchronised, socio-cultural interpretations of the previous ...

The African diaspora refers to emigrants of African descent living in Europe, America and the Middle East. Historically, the term African diaspora predominantly referred to African descendants enslaved in the Americas; currently, the term African diaspora even includes people who voluntarily migrated from Africa. At some point in human history, many black people from Central and West Africa were transferred to the Americas to serve as slaves. This group of people largely constitutes the African diaspora. In the last few decades, historians have differed in characterizing the African diaspora. This has led to the raging debate explained using the ...

Organ transplant involves the replacement of a patient’s (recipient) ailing organ with a well functioning organ from some who has died (donor).

The Western Virginia Legislature holds that a bill is an idea that can eventually become a law (para. 1). This implies that the idea has to go several processes before it is accepted as part of the law of the land. A bill can be introduced by any member of the legislature, and then it can start the process that makes it into a law (Votesmart para. 1). As the New Jersey Legislature observes, the process is often a long one, but it leads to the realization of a new law which is acceptable in the land (1). The steps to making a bill into a ...

Evaluating Change over Time in Organizations Organizations have changed aboutas much in the past few decades as in the preceding century

Change is a human nature characteristic and as people’s natural instincts determine them to modify their attitudes, their behaviors, their actions, and so on, the social processes implicitly suppose change. Therefore, as society changes and people tend to evolve, new needs appear. In business this might mean new market orientation, new strategies, and new approaches. In accordance, it becomes a necessity that the companies should re-think their business approaches, strategies, market orientation and other areas that require change, ...

People from all cultures and all faiths advocate for forgiveness. However, there’s the question of how much one should forgive. If an offense is so grievous or repeatedly committed then it can make one question if continuing to forgive won’t cause further harm towards oneself. It’s true that nobody’s perfect and that even the people we love and who love us do things that hurt us, whether intentionally or unintentionally. However, although I believe that we should always find it in our hearts to forgive, I believe that we shouldn’t bestow the same level ...

In order to do a trip to New York, I and a group of my friends had to plan it in advance and calculate time and costs of stay there. First of all, in order to see four performances on Broadway, it would take us a week of time to stay in New York. The roundtrip flight tickets would be around $270 per person. Potential accommodation would have to be quite far from the city centre and Manhattan in order to save some money. One of the potential options might be Sun Bright Hotel in Chinatown, which would cost $180 for 6 ...

Later in October, I plan on visiting New York with a group of four friends in order to see four Broadway shows; we have never seen professional New York theater performed before, and so we thought it best to go there and see what the city has to offer. Our proposed budget is approximately $9800 for five people; $4000 for air fare and accommodations, $4500 for show tickets and $300 for food and cab fare while we are in New York. We would leave October 19 and return October 23, booking a flight plan to New York and back from Home, ...

The exchange of one’s thoughts, feelings and opinions with those of others is a basic human need, most commonly known as communication. A human being relies on several aspects of communication such as spoken words, body language, expression of emotions and behavior in order to understand messages being conveyed by others. However, communication is not entirely related to simple sensory perceptions such as sound and vision. A person’s personal views, beliefs and state of mind also have a great impact on how he or she conveys and comprehends messages. Communication is used by people in all walks of life, ...

The federal system of the United States of America is very important in outlining the history of the United States of America. This country has undergone a lot of political changes from the date of the formation of the government (Lawrence 13). It should be noted that this form of government was formed with a lot of critics from the opposition side. However, the proposers of this system seemed to be more powerful to advocate for it. Even at the time of the civil war, the federal system still existed in the United States of America. The constitution of this country ...

It is the dream of every company to maximize the profit by increasing the sales, decreasing the costs, and reducing the risks. With the profit, the company is able to grow and the employee livelihood is improved. On the other hand, losses reduce the operations and may lead to bankruptcy. Losses arise when the company experiences a downturn in the business cycle or lower consumer demand which reduces the market share. This may result in laying off employees, closing underperforming facilities and selling assets or equipment, and the company may be forced into bankruptcy. There are various ways through which a ...

Advanced supply chains are highly complicated with parallel physical and data flows taking place so as to pledge the delivery of products in right quantities, at the right time to the right place in a cost-efficient mode. In recent years, the cause for more effective supply networks has led to these networks becoming more prone to risks and disruption. Specifically, there often tends to be shortage of resources in the organization to “buffer” disturbances in supply and hence any interruptions may have an immediate impact throughout the supply networks (DecisionCraft, 2010).

Risk situations are categorized as “known unknowns” or “unknown ...

Democracy can be defined simply as a system of governance in which citizens are vested with the power to choose their leaders through a democratic process. The rule of the majority is a dominant characteristic of a democracy. Citizens require information in order to make better decisions. The internet is one of the many sources of information available to individuals. The internet has been gaining prominence as a source of information due to its size, reach and usability (Joint, 2005). On face value, democracy and the internet seem to complement each other. This paper will examine this relationship and establish whether this observation realistic ...

Speeding in highways has become one of the most common vices in the society today. It has caused the death of a lot of people most of them being you people. According to a survey that was conducted between 2002 and 2006, more than 34% of the total accidents were caused by drivers who were aged between 17 years and 24 years (Tay 2002). Out of the total, it was found that only 17% of them had legal license holders. This prompted the government to come up with a campaign that was dubbed ‘The Pinkie Campaign’.

I was able to learn about the entrepreneurial strategies for success. From the article of Renee and Martin (2012), I learned that there are certain traits successful entrepreneurs have. I realized that even though successful entrepreneurs are risk takers, risk taking should never be confused with being reckless. In fact, from the article, I learned that a successful entrepreneur is one who trusts his gut (Renee and Martin, 2012). He is one who trusts his instincts. I got knowledge that this is effective in increasing the confidence in carrying out new, untested ventures and ideas. Equally, I learned that successful ...
