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 ...

Although the Spratly and Paracel Islands don’t look like much—they’re little more than outcroppings of rock in the South China Sea, after all—they are the subject of serious debate in the international community, and a number of countries are becoming exceptionally territorial over their claims to the islands. These islands are known by a number of different names, depending on the country; for the purposes of this discussion, and in the interests of relative clarity, the English name for these islands—the Spratly Islands—will be used exclusively in the text to refer to these ...

INTRODUCTION

In human society there have always been laws and lawbreakers. Police were designed to protect the public from the dangerous offenders who might steal from them, harm them or kill them.

However, over the last few years there have been more and more instances where police have committed acts of unnecessary force, extreme violence and, unfortunately, including the use of deadly force in cases where their actions and motivation are being questioned ...

1. “Notes on Punctuation” by Lewis Thomas - Summary The writers use punctuation marks in order to set the tone of the text according to Lewis Thomas. This differs from language to language and there are very few marks in English. It is important to use punctuation so that people do not write in an ambiguous manner. Commas are useful more than any other marks because they have many purposes. They should not be used in great amounts although they add a specific meaning. Lewis thinks that semicolons are important as well because they let the writer express themselves ...

It has been well documented that Emily Dickinson wrote poetry for herself and her friends, not for publication. Her expression, found in her poetry, is an expression of self, often conflated as thoughts entered her mind from multiple directions creating mature works that bent and formed new visions different and fuller than that original image at the beginning of each poem. Emily Dickinson’s reclusive nature is revealed in much of her poetry. It is in those written lines where she explores her world. Her work, relegated to letters to her friends, was from her soul and not meant ...

ABSTRACT

Police discretion is a freedom granted to officers in order to make judgment calls while on the job. However, some officers, take advantage of, misuse and abuse that freedom.

There are two sides to the argument. Many Americans, as well as, many in law enforcement, feel that the unpredictability of police work requires that officers have some freedom to make proactive choices as to how to resolve a situation.

Fairytales generally offer children a very limited choice of heroes and villains, and they cast men and women in stereotyped roles, because they are meant to socialize children according to the values of the society and according to their expected gender roles. Two feminine characters found in many fairytales are the wicked stepmother and the young and beautiful heroine, who is often a princess. In such fairytales as Grimm brothers’ “Snow White”, “Cinderella” and “Mother Holle”, the stepmother is an intruder who occupies the role of the good mother and persecutes the young, beautiful and kind heroine. She is ...

Earl Babbie has begun with the logical reasoning based assertions which are often used to justify ones stand in sociological context. He gives the example of malnutrition of black athletes and AIDS for gays to explain that the relation between the stated assertion and reasoning often defaults on logical parameters.

For example, due to excessive Islamic extremism the Middle East and Asian countries are suspicious of general Muslims to ...

QUESTION 1:

Michael is a hypertensive adult with obesity as an additional risk factor that could contribute to the occurrence of a cardiovascular event. While his choice of personal diet may not be limited, it may be more constrained when eating out with others, since their tastes and preferences will indeed vary.

It should also contain low levels of sodium, saturated fats and trans fats. Fortunately, the American National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommends ...

Project management is a helpful practice in business because it allows managers to plan for the project (Tria, 2003, p. 3; Dash, 2002, p.127; Ferdows, 2006, p. 8). Through planning, a manager allocates the available resources. Planning is necessary because of the scarcity of resources. Project management enables an organization to execute a plan successfully without making grievous mistakes. A project that goes through all stages of project management can hardly fail (Thamhain, 2012, p. 10). Therefore, project management ...

1. The effect of the portfolio on risk of a security The diversification effects on a portfolio listing are based on the reduction of portfolio risk which creates the impression of imperfect correlations as compared to asset return pairs. It is rather crucial as correlations remain rather independent of the portfolio’s rate of return. Therefore, portfolio risk is extensively reduced while at the same time ensuring that the rate of return is not compromised (Oberuc, 2003). For instance, if several low-correlated assets are combined in order to create a pronounced high risk-adjusted return which capitalizes on portfolio improvement, then the ...

Power Distance

After the study of 88,000 IBM employees working in sixty-six countries in different parts of the world, Hofstede Geert—a Dutch cultural anthropologist—ranked countries in a scale of one to a hundred on individualism versus collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity-femininity (Hofstede, 2001).

Through his research, Hofstede Geert developed four cultural dimensions, which are very useful when analyzing a country’s cultural value. This research paper provides an in-depth discussion into one of the cultural dimensions developed by Hofstede, power distance. In addition, this research paper investigates the implication of power distance on the attitudes and behavior of learners.
