This is illustrated below in ‘The Circular Flow’ [Note: Reprinted from the aforementioned source, 3.A General Model of the Closed Economy].

The council of the slew of generals President Abraham Lincoln had to tread through, was not unlike dangerous waters which were constantly shifting amid the complexity of the Civil War. The events surrounding the Civil War era, the Lincoln presidency with its turmoil of revolving generals, and the hotly debated issue of slavery form the most contested episode in United States’ annals of history. Among the short string of military generals under the auspices of Abraham Lincoln include George B. McClellan, Joseph Hooker, Ulysses S. Grant, and George G. Meade. Whether or not people agree with Abraham Lincoln’s ...

Voluntourism Analysis: Positive Development for Local Communities?

The term ‘voluntourism’ suggests just that. But while intentions of the travelers may be pure and noble, the outcome and propensity of accomplishing truly positive achievements in a geo-developing world context may be questionable, doubtful, or downright detrimental for the people in local communities. The goal herein is to evaluate the pros and cons and make a position.

Untrained youth in volunteerism is a problem. In Doc Zone Volunteers Unleashed (2015), most of the young volunteers are privileged white girls from Western societies. Statistics bear this out, placing most of the voluntourism sectors ...

The plight of the American woman Karen Dove, an uninsured lady depicted in the PBS video Critical Care, is unfortunately a common example of the horrendous status of the healthcare system policies and planning in the United States.

A cogent understanding of the intensity and difficulty required to run an airline is noteworthy at the outset of this essay. In an article appearing in the Harvard Business Review, Anderson (2014) describes the treacherous terrain of management ...

"Help your child or teen get back on track: What parents and professionals can do for childhood emotional and behavioral problems." by Kenneth H. Talan

I have chosen to analyse the article from social-emotional development theory, which involves the social and emotional development of children and teenagers which continues to adulthood. The issues on social and emotional development are based on the eight stages of development developed by a psychiatrist, Erik Erikson in 1956. Emotional intelligence describes a person’s ability to express or show his emotions accordingly, interpret other people’s emotions, and understand emotions; what triggers it and ...

Abstract

The ethical and privacy implications of biometrics usage is a concern for individuals, companies, and almost anyone with an awareness of the concept of Protecting Personal Information (PPI). Although the present research paper article addresses biometrics as a whole, it briefly explains an ethics definition, before delving more deeply into the topic. This paper additionally discusses an overview of General IT behavior, serving as a segue into the larger discussion of biometrics. Several journal article, and peer-reviewed references help to round out the guidelines for understanding a wide range of biometric implications, environmental authentication climate, and privacy risks examples using electronic health records, ...

Disaster narratives in pharmacists’ journals usually describe accounts of inappropriate breach of medical dispensary, or involve issues regarding confidentiality. One recent article publication in Chemist & Druggist (2012), portrayed a situation in which a woman walks up to a pharmacy counter, hands the clerk a prescription bottle, demanding to know what symptoms the medicine is for (p. 278). The prescription is not hers, although most likely she is the caregiver for the elderly man who is homebound. In this case, the pharmacist must proceed quite cautiously due to striving to protect all of the confidential healthcare information passing through the dispensary. As one can ...

International Trade and Foreign Exchange Rates

International Trade and Foreign Exchange Rates Trade surplus or deficit is usually used to analyze international trade. Speaking about U.S. economy, one need to use surplus of imports only, as the balance of trade this year in January was minus 38702 million dollars, meaning that the US imports goods more than exports (“United States balance of trade”, 2014).

Firstly, this is industrial machinery and equipment, at $731 billion. Almost a half in the category is crude oil ($313 billion). Also, fuel oil ($46 billion), petroleum products ($50 billion) and natural gas ($9 billion) is essential in it. Large amounts ...

A myriad of baffling questions foster educated inquiries regarding the types of causes for schizophrenia, in terms of neurological foundations. Psychiatry and neuropsychological research continues to engage professionals in exploring the role of the frontal lobes in schizophrenia. While more questions persist than answers, it appears that the elements of memory and behavior correlate in ways that bond to either a region or function that is important in the disorder. According to medical researcher, Dr. Raphael Bonelli (2007) “schizophrenia, and mood disorders may result from disturbances that have a direct or indirect impact on the integrity or functioning of” various loops ...

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Introduction You all have seen the degrading photos. You remember how you felt the shame, seeing what looked like electrical-shock wires attached to human flesh, whose head was covered by a black cone-shaped hooded cloak. Perfidious sensory deprivation ensued. Someone once conveyed the following words of misery: “Only by experience can anyone realize how deep, and dark, and foul is that pit of abominations.” These words were written by Harriet Jacobs, a black woman in American history whose first-hand account recorded the atrocities of her captivity and cruelty of slavery (“Harriet Jacobs Fugitive Slave”). The tortures she suffered are unspeakable. ...

In the modern society of today, the world of education encompasses the involvement of many different kinds of families. Diversity has been the ‘buzz word’ for quite some time.

Introduction

While many certainly agree that white collar crime presents serious legal issues the sociological implications, regarding deviant behavior, is not always obvious. No discussion inspires a proper balance for analysis without a relevant definition of our terms. According to a ‘Sociology’ glossary, published by the McGraw-Hill Higher Education (2014) group deviance is defined as “Behavior that violates the standards of conduct or expectations of a group or society.” The same glossary defines the concept or theory ‘anomie’ as a Durkheim term for “the loss of direction felt in a society when social control of individual behavior has become ineffective” (“Sociology Glossary,” 2014). In an effort ...

A critical analysis of the differences between Buddhism and Christianity formulates a litany of ways by which the two religions may be compared. Worship styles, concepts of the afterlife, or understandings of sin represent examples of different elements that may be compared. One point of tension, or perhaps a recurring expression, deals with the different views of time from a Buddhist or Christian perspective. This paper seeks to objectively examine and document this particular tension of time-concept differences, between Buddhism and the Biblical perspective. During the course of the discussion, the words of Jesus shall be used to address and compare ideas ...

There is trouble brewing in America today. The issue stems from a topic in education regarding the effects of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as they pertain to ESL students. In other words, how do the Common Core State Standards effect ESL students? First, an understanding of the CCSS protocol and implementations must be understood. According to the official TESOL International Association, several acknowledgments must be taken into account. The organization communicates an overview of CCSS intentions and practices, as well as a framework for its structure and implementations. Therefore, the first step and task of this research paper is ...

The emergence of early colonial America onto the stage of Western civilization, dramatized many political, social, and religious events. Perhaps the greatest and most surprising story, surrounds the United States’ first official education system. It grew from turbulent beginnings. This paper explains how the United States government stepped into the pages of history, to create the first federally mandated public school system. One source states that the U.S. public education system can trace “its development from its roots in Puritan and Congregationalist religious schools in the 1600s” (“A History of Public Education in the United States”). As the newly ...

The terms ‘white collar crime’ and ‘tax evasion’ have precariously vacillated from the perception or classification of bonafide crime, or non-criminal acts. The slippery slope of tax evasion in relation to white collar crime sustains serious implications, historically and to the present. According to expert sources at Cornell University Law School, the definition of white collar crime is explained by giving an overview of an early incident in 1939, when sociologist Edwin Sutherland “coined” the phrase. Sutherland defined white collar crime as an act involving “crime committed by a person” who is normally tremendously respected in their line of occupation, ...

While national crime reports yield a mild but favorable .7% fluctuation in homicide cases per capita from 2000 to 2010, two major American cities have seen extremely volatile shifts in homicides per capita through the first decade of the 21st century. The District of Columbia and Detroit, with its metro area, are currently at two opposite ends of the spectrum of city-wide improvement in regard to creating a safe haven for all of its citizens. The historic notoriety in capital crime of both cities poses an initial challenge to discerning the more progressively lethal of the two; however statistics are showing ...
