Introduction

Perhaps no decision in world war two from the Allies was as significant as that of Dwight Eisenhower’s decision to follow a broad front strategy in a bid to enter the war in Europe. This paper argues that the broad front strategy followed by Ike was the right choice as opposed to Montgomery’s single thrust strategy. The reasoning given in this thesis statement is that the objective at that time was to end the war in Europe quickly and win against the Axis powers and in such a situation, an all out offensive was the best form ...

Shortly after the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. As a result of real concerns over the security of the nation as well as more than a little mass hysteria over America’s vulnerability in the new age of global terror, the 342-page long USA PATRIOT Act, as it is popularly known, sailed through Congress a mere 45 days after the attacks with little debate or analysis but with broad bipartisan support. Indeed, in ...

A Proposal Review 1. Research Question The proposal question – How has the credit crisis had an effect on the capital structure of Dutch SMEs? – is essentially quantitative in construct but the elements appear to indicate a confused tendency towards quantitative investigation. There are other things to improve on. First, for quantitative studies, which this study is, the words “what” or “why” are most appropriate to begin the research question (RQ) if the research design intends to find a cause-and-effect relationship (“what”) or the reason for such relationship (“why”) (Creswell 130). Moreover, directional verbs ( ...

French comedy, like comedy of any specific region, has a wide range of subjects and styles from which to draw – some comedies rely more on the physical and slapstick, while others relate more to character-based humor and the everyday absurdity of human interaction. Two French comedies from the 90s and early 2000s encapsulate this divide quite well – 1993’s Les Visiteurs and 2000’s Le Gout des Autres (The Taste of Others). Visiteurs is a goofy, fantastical fish-out-of-water story about a knight and his squire (played by Jean Reno and co-writer Christian Clavier), who find themselves transported from 1123 ...

Abstract

With this trend, people developed views that intelligence testing could discriminate against old people and minority groups; while others are opposed to such views. On the other hand, intelligence testing is not fully validated for minorities such as African –American. They do perform well ...

The word health is a very broad term that is not easy to describe (Georgetown University, n.d.). When most people think of health, they are referring to a state when they do not have any ailments. In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (World Health Organization, 1948).

Primary data is advantageous because it is relevant and original and hence the level of accuracy is high. Primary data may be garnered by a number of manners like ...

Introduction

The film industry considers the horror genre in cinema, especially in Hollywood, as a staple because it draws a sizeable audience that consequently makes horror movies highly profitable (Hantke, 2010, p. viii). At least, this was the case during the 19th and 20th centuries since the state of the horror genre has changed over time. At present time, filmmakers would confess that horror films today are not as profitable as they were in the past. According to Hantke (2010, p. viii), we can attribute the so-called slump in the horror genre, especially in Hollywood, to its decline as a ...

Science from a philosopher’s perspective

Science has undergone a lot of transformations and many theories have been formed to form the basis of truth and knowledge.

Abstract

Personal problems often affect the capacity and motivation of employees to work (Janssen, Lam, and Huang, 2009, p. 787; Rich, Lepine & Crawford, 2010, p. 617).

The term “Patents” came into existence as a legal mechanism created for the protection of the ‘intellectual capital’. It aims to protect inventor’s ideas from getting into the hands of others without appropriate permission or compensation (Bell 2013). This idea of patenting came up as a result of the early recognition that many inventors do not have the means to produce, develop, or even implement their invention at the time it was conceived. There is, therefore, a need for some protection that would encourage the inventors to aggressively pursue their ideas without someone else stealing it and thereby ...
