In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such.

There has been a struggle for equal rights among all genders, races, religions, and sexualities since the beginning of the United States of America for people believe they deserve the same rights as everyone else on the premise that they are all human beings. In his article “Discrimination must not be tolerated” (2013), Daniel Swanton notes that while there are documents and laws regarding human rights there are various examples of discrimination throughout the world as people are continuously targeted because of their different backgrounds and beliefs.

The central thesis of Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw is that price decision making should prevail over political decision making since markets have been the driving force for world events (Yergin and Stanislaw, “Commanding Heights p3 New rules of the game”). The authors are trying to prove how the once commanding economy has lost its reputation since the desire to command and manage the top levels of the economy has shrivelled. They achieve this by interviewing different major players from different nations. Keith Joseph is portrayed as Britain’s “Minister of thought” as he worked alongside Thatcher, both of ...

Introduction

According to cultural relativism, it is the view that there are no higher or lower cultures in all cultural and moral aspects ("Cultural Relativism", 2016). It is difficult to look at your own culture the way other cultures see it.

But it is the main strength or his article and he is not afraid to show his culture the way they always describe others. It is unfair to describe traditions of other ...

The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators to deliver shocks is used as a life-saving approach when treating ventricular fibrillation events and ventricular tachycardia (Miyake et al., 579). The continued use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators to deliver shocks is not based on the knowledge of its effectiveness. Several studies have shown that this approach is associated with some negative effects. For instance, Miyake et al., (579) reported that the efficacy of implantable cardioverter defibrillators is unknown even though it is continually used. Miyake et al., (579) further reports that the use implantable cardioverter defibrillators has been to result inappropriate discharges. ...

Question 1: Mexican-American War

The battle was the first conflict that America had on foreign grounds. It introduced a political divide and portrayed the unpreparedness of Mexico in combat.

Management

It is important to know the internal rate of return because the percentage figure gives the speed of reinvestment that adds up to the break even value. Additionally, the Hurdle Rate is vital since it displays the financially attractive level of the investment. Further, the difference between cash flow and profit is that the amount recorded is the immediate cash in the firm’s account while the profit includes the amounts that will be paid in future. It is, however, important to get the NPV for any decision which flows into multi-periods because investment takes place over time and ...

Book Review – New York Exposed: The Gilded Age Scandal that

New York City in the late 19th-century has been shown through scholarly research and historical investigation to be a den of vice, with police-sanctioned brothels and unchecked political graft taking place on a large, systemic level. This matrix of criminal protections and laissez-faire attitude toward criminality led to the origins of the New York mob, and is a considerably important subject for historical scholars. Daniel Czitrom’s latest account of this early corruption, New York Exposed: The Gilded Age Police Scandal that Launched the Progressive Era, demonstrates the forces that began to identify the Gilded Age as one of ...

The concept of the natural state of man is discussed in detail by both Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe in their books Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe respectively. While Swift takes the reader through his opinion of the natural state of man by describing the journey of Gulliver, Defoe does this through an evaluation of the life of Crusoe. However, despite appearing to focus on the same topic, the two hold divergent views on the same. Defoe appears to make a more compelling argument as compared to Swift in Gulliver’s travel because he appears to be more ...

Is Schindler’s List Trivializing the Holocaust?

The movie, Schindler's List, has an essential place among the films about the Holocaust. The film is about a German saving almost 1300 Jewish people from the Holocaust (Leibovitz 2011). The story is a little confusing for some viewers because despite what many had learned about the Germans during the Nazi regime, it was a German who was helping the Jewish people. This implies that there was communication between the Jewish people and the Germans (Weinraub 2016). The existence of the communication between the two social groups might mean that a social solution could have developed during the Holocaust ...

The main focus of these questions, however, have centered around the age-old debate between what is the best balance between security and privacy. That is to say, very little public, media or government attention has focused on other equally important areas of privacy including privacy in the private sector, such as in the hospitality industry. Nowadays, the hospitality industry increasingly has access mountains of ...

The films that will be examined in this paper have much in common though, at the same time they consist of different aspects in their plots and picture different characters (Hayward 67). The main issue that unites all these films is the theme of obsession. The meaning of this word in films is the same, but considering each character, it may have slightly different understanding.

Reid moved to Tokyo, Japan, with his family – composed of his wife and their two daughters – where he lived for five years, as an expatriate employee for the Washington Post. He posits that some Asian nations (such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore ) have built modern societies within the safest environment, providing the best education for the children, and with probably the most stable families on Earth. In Reid’s opinion, this accomplishment is due to the widespread acceptance by Far East countries of the ethical values of Chinese philosopher Confucius. He pointed ...

Climate change at global capacity is a fact and scientific studies conducted to determine the causes have all implicated greenhouse gasses, including carbon dioxide, for causing the same.

“Poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it?” rings the famous lyric of the late Rapper-Activist Tupac Amaru Shakur. The son of a former Black Panther, this ode to his mother provides a glimpse into the conundrum of surviving in the wake of being poor and black on public assistance. What Shakur unknowingly reveals is the image of welfare in a more empathetic and realistic way that illuminates instead of ignoring the lived realities of its recipients. While Shakur’s lyric is compassionate in it’s depiction, conservative lawmakers are less considerate in their elucidation of ...

The philosopher Plato once claimed that the purpose of education is “to ensure that the habit and aspirations of the old generation are transmitted to the younger- and then presumably to the next one after that” (Plochmann). In “Reporting Live from Tomorrow,” from his book Stumbling On Happiness, Daniel Gilbert likens this transmission of beliefs to the process of genetic replication, arguing that like bad genes, false beliefs—those which do not, in fact, contribute to an individual’s happiness—can easily become “super-replicators,” within a culture (Gilbert 171). In Julia Alvarez’s Once Upon a Quinceañera, the ...

First, during his story, he recounts an episode where he lost the keys to his house, and rather than freeze outside, he lofted a brick through the window. As a neuroscientist, he realized (later) that the hippocampal structure of his brain remembers things spatially, due to our hunter/gatherer origins. Thus, ...
