Abstract

The United States is currently embroiled in a debate on how healthcare should be structured. The Republicans have sworn to repeal the Affordable Care Act. On the other hand, more than 33 million people are not able to afford basic healthcare services, do not have medical covers, and most of them do not have proper employment (Atun, De Andrade, Almeida, Cotlear, Dmytraczenko, Frenz, & De Paula, 2015). Additionally, most middle-income earners cannot afford proper health insurance or afford to pay health care costs off their pockets. Essentially, this is best demonstrated by the high number of bankruptcies filed due to ...

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

The last year was marked by the unexpected results of referendum held in the UK, where citizens had to decide whether the country should leave or stay in the European Union. Obviously, many experts had been skeptical and the results, with 52 % voted for the exit, were, with no doubt, shocking both for the EU and the entire world. The financial markets reacted immediately: the pound experienced the largest decrease during the entire period of the free-floating and major stock indexes, like FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 also fall considerably (Mackenzie & Platt, 2016 June 25). However, the reasons the ...

The research topic is: “Examine the impact of diversity management on organizational performance and innovation capabilities”.

Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD).

The current environmental regulatory regime led to widespread dissatisfaction. This is because the centralized command-and-control environmental regulation does not offer a reliable method for determining the optimal amount of pollution or finding the most efficient means of achieving the desired pollution level. This has resulted in various reform proposals and policy changes to increase environmental quality. One of the proposed reforms includes abandoning most of federal environmental regulation and returning to the common law environmentalism. This proposal has however received harsh criticism from most stakeholders in the environment sector who believe that the failure of state common law is ...

Abstract

Over thirty years after its identification, HIV and AIDS remains a somewhat elusive virus, particularly when it comes to its history as a human infectious agent, and resourcing a complete epidemiology of the disease. Part of the problem is that so many antiretroviral drugs have come out and have either been used or prescribed incorrectly. In addition, the virus, like many other reverse RNA transcriptase viruses, has a very high aptitude in terms of developing resistance to drugs at a very rapid rate. What further complicates matters is how quickly it has spread. It will probably never truly be ...

Introduction

The American Society represents a typical society that is characterized by high levels of social stratifications.

Additionally, the social status affects the strength of the bond among partners. Arguably, the establishment of power in spousal relationships is related to the socioeconomic class that the partners belong.

Throughout history, there have been many great thinkers. They have sprawled among many disciplines, from philosophy to physics. Nevertheless, some of these have made important contributions to many fields at the same time. One of these cases is that of Blaise Pascal, who was deeply influential in mathematics, philosophy and theology. In a sense, one could say that these three disciplines were intertwined in his work.

I have worked for an organization where I have received recognition for my contributions.

The research topic is relevant due to the ongoing discussions about the historical role of Abraham Lincoln in the national history of the United States of America. Since now there have been absolutely opposite assessments of the presidency of Lincoln: from the openly apologetic to almost offensive.

The sociological discourse of the 21st century persists on the topic of gender and gender roles, as ascribed by the society for decades, which continue to connect women to the domestic sphere, in a submissive manner, and men to the public sphere, in a dominant manner. In the current modern society, men and women are represented in both the domestic and the public sphere due to social changes that encouraged women participation in the labor work and men’s involvement in the private sphere (Duffy 113). Nevertheless, there are still proves that women continue to be associated with the ...

One of the fundamental principles of the law of business associations is that a corporation is considered, under the law, to be a person albeit an artificial one.

Over the last decade, however, corporations have increasingly been found to be or share some of the same rights and privileges as natural, as opposed to legal, person ...

The newly developed SASB allowed companies to take into consideration external events (Eccles, 2016) that cannot be controlled such as the effects of climate change. The reason for the accounting standard addition is that governments cannot ignore the effects on industrial markets and their investors (Eccles, 2016).

The problem is that there was no previous standard developed for nonfinancial performances (Eccles, 2016) especially on environmental and social activities.

Description of the Chosen Organization

One of the most important points to learn in public administration courses is the way how nonprofit and government-related organizations work. The first thing that has to be remembered is that they work differently compared to for-profits mainly based on the fact that their actions and behaviors are often not motivated by profit. However, critics would suggest that all organizations, be it nonprofit or for-profit may at some point, be validly considered as a form of for-profit organization because they both rely on a steady stream of income paired with sound and effective forms of budget management in order ...
