A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

The Concept Analysis

The Concept Analysis In our daily lives, it is expected for us to look over and take care of ourselves. However, there are limitations, which hinder us from doing and performing such activities. That is why; we need other people to continue activities we cannot do. For instance, when we are experiencing pain or any disease, we go to healthcare institutions so that healthcare professionals can attend to our needs.

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

Introduction

Coal is a very cheap and abundant provision of energ. In fact, it is the most abundant fuel in the United States; U.S. has the highest coal reserve in the world, with up to 25% of the known world coal present in America and being mined in 26 out of the U.S. 50 states (fe.doe.gov, 2013). However, this abundant energy is seldom used because it is a very dirty energy. According to Hong & Slatick (1994), up to 204.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per million Btu is emitted when coal having 78% carbon content is completely burned to attain a ...

ABSTRACT

Gun Control is a very serious and regularly debated issue in this modern area. Some feel very strongly that the resolution to gun violence is to restrict guns from the public and therefore lessening gun related crime and accidental injury. However, that is not how all Americans feel. They see gun control measures as a direct infringement on the Constitutional rights, it would leave Americans defenseless and would, in fact, increase crime rates not lessen them. The bulk of research tends to lean toward the reality that gun control will not have the desired effect that gun control supporters ...

While Lightner Witmer has been largely credited with the conceptualization and creation of a separate field of study for school psychology (D’Amato et al., 2011), it has it’s true roots, in many ways, in the creation of the IQ test. The IQ test was pioneered by Alfred Binet who was specifically interested in the standards of the normal mind. Today, the Binet-Simon scale, first generated in 1905, is still used in schools to determine a child’s overall ability to perform certain tasks (Binet & Simon, 1905). Perhaps more significantly, however, it was significant that Binet recognized that ...

Within the Context of World History

Racism and misconceptions about the peoples of Africa have resulted in the neglect of Africa’s historical reality ever since the field of history began to emerge as a structured discipline during the eighteenth century (Reynolds, “So Many Africas, So Little Time: Doing Justice to Africa in the World History Survey”). Since Greek and Roman times and up until the European Renaissance there was mutual respect between Europeans and the subjects of black kingdoms they met (Clarke ‘Why African History?”). By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, however, most European historians, philosophers and political scientists had adopted a Eurocentric attitude ...

Introduction

The Chinese real estate market is currently experiencing a bubble in growth as investors rush to acquire real estate property both within and outside the country. As such, there is a need for effective communication platforms to facilitate the frequent talks and negotiations between China and other countries to take care of the increasing numbers of Chinese investors who want to purchase or invest in real estate properties overseas. In most cases, these negotiations crumble because of the lack of understanding as the buyer and the seller speak two different languages, hence a communication malfunction (Bogucki & Deckert, 2012). Therefore, ...

Introduction

Sexuality and Christianity - often these two topics are opposed. This is not surprising because the negative attitude towards sexual relations and sex-phobia, fear in relation to sexuality, negative attitudes towards sexuality accompany the entire history of the Christian churches. One theory of the fall of humanity says that the sin of Adam and Eve was that they have entered into a sexual relationship. (Kamitsuka, M.D., 2010, p.26) In turn, the Christian asceticism tried to instill in Christians a feeling of contempt for their own corporeality (by the way, another theory Fall states that "leather garments" that God gave ...

Importance of mentorship and succession plans for health organizations

Health organizations implement mentorship programs and succession plans in a bid to ensure professional continuity and survivability.

Additionally, mentorship improves inter-professional collaboration which benefits both the health organization and patients (Diane, Davidson, Odegard, Maki, and Tomkowiak, 2011). Successful mentorship programs result in improved teamwork, cohesion, and morale which consequently promote organizational performance. On the other hand, succession planning ensures proper coaching of junior employees as they prepare for promotion to the challenging levels of leadership (Gerald, et al., ...

Peer support interventions have a wide range of benefits. They cost less, they reduce the strain on emergency rooms, and they have been proven to be extremely effective in providing support to patients with mental health problem (Gaumond & Whitter, 2009). My personal reaction is that these systems have been working well for some years, particularly in the case of charities such as Alcoholics Anonymous, which provides peer support for people seeking help for substance abuse problems. I think it can be useful to have someone to talk to that has experienced the same thing as the patient, rather than ...

I. INTRODUCTION The cultural dimension of Christian experience, which Niebuhr attempted to typify, is essentially more complex that he himself appeared to recognize. In fact, in order to deal with this complexity, Niebuhr categorized Christianity as inextricably of a Western culture to the clear disregard of the realities of Christians in the East, which the apostles too have built into a community of the faithful under Christ. Nevertheless, he dealt with the complexity by presuming that Christianity is essentially a Western cultural community while referring to the target culture as “not a particular phenomenon but the general one”. While ...

Certainly, global warming is an existential challenge for humanity. The United States Energy Information Administration (2014) discloses that fossil fuel consumption for electricity generation has increased from 1990 to 2014. This trend indicates a general increase of global demand for electricity, which places pressure on more environmentally-friendly forms of power generation (that use renewable resources), which can curtail their development. It is also true that technological breakthroughs are commonly brought about to ...

Children and youth in correctional institutions are extremely vulnerable. They come most often from disadvantaged families, and in many cases, they have experienced trauma or victimization before reaching the correctional institutions.

Once in the care of the state, they should be protected from further victimization, and helped to overcome their traumas, so as to be reintegrated into the society successfully, and to become healthy and active members of their communities. However, in many cases, correctional institutions become the settings for new forms of ...

Government-Business Relations

Predominantly, free trade entails trade between two or more countries where there is an elimination of restrictions such as import duties, local production subsidies, import licenses, and export bounties. The common argument used to support free trade is that countries have different resources endowment.

Varying levels of technology required for resource exploitation necessitate the need for countries with advanced technology to invest in other countries where technological knowledge is less developed. The decision to allow foreign investment involves some ...
