Article "China’s Brutal One-Child Policy"

As one of the largest populations in the world, China introduced one-child policy in 1979. The goal of the policy is to reduce birth rates and stabilize the population growth.

That makes taking statistical summary of criminal activities in the country quite interesting. This paper, therefore, would try to give a summarized view of reported rape cases in the US for the reporting years of 2012 and 2013. In the Continue reading...

Demographics usually come in handy when reaching out to people affected by various health issues. Demographics bring out how people feel, interact, and cooperate with one another on how to improve their system (Use of Demographics to Understand Your Target Market, 2014).

The categories of the groups would include, for example, include age, gender, role, financial status, and social class. Having this information will help in coming up with a reasonable questionnaire that will narrow down a research topic and enable the Continue reading...

In their work on the analysis of the security and social system issues in Russian Federation, Eberstadt and Groth make the following statement: "Successful social security policy for Russia, consequently, will depend upon much more than social programs alone."

Eastman and Ferguson (2002), in their work “Broadcast/Cable/Web Programming”, discussed the decisions that they make when choosing a show for prime time television as well as the advertisements which are to be played.

The marketing segment for the women’s health clinic should be based on the demographic, the psychographic, and the behavior of the potential customers (Rabinowitz, 2013). In particular, some of the demographic factors that should be considered would include the age, marital status, ethnic or racial background, and employment status of the patients. These should be considered because the needs of women from each demographic segment would be different from each other. For example, young women would have different health concerns from women in their senior years. Married women would also need healthcare services that single women don’t Continue reading...

An individual terrorist has been described throughout history in many different ways, such as anarchist, a lone-wolf terrorist, and a revolutionary terrorist among others. Although the specific context of these different labels tend to vary but there are many similarities between them. Perhaps the most notable example of an individual terrorist in history would be the U.S. army veteran, Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people and injured another 500 after detonating a bomb in Oklahoma City ("Profile: Timothy mcveigh," 2001). Although this strategy of terrorism is quite old, we still need to pay attention to it. In 2010, CIA-director Continue reading...

Epidemiology involves the study of how disease frequency in man is distributed and determined (Laumann, Paik, & Rosen, 1999). Consequently, there is the use of statistics, probability, and research knowledge to test certain hypotheses concerning the occurrence of morbidity.

Abstract

This essay is about pauper labor argument – what does it mean and why it is considered as wrong way of interpreting median earning of workers in the USA. This argument that American captial must be protected against European ‘pauper’ captial and its workers’ ‘pauper labor’.

The United States is viewed as the most successful democracy in the world, however, it has been drafted in a manner that does not give unlimited freedom to the masses. It seems to suffer from a dilemma of trusting the people and suspecting their abilities.

Hence, an informed citizenry becomes crucial to the effectiveness of a democratic government.
