Essays on Demography

Immigration is a contentious topic in the United States today. Even now, the Presidential Debates are full of discussion of immigration and the suggestion of immigration reform; in the last months of his presidency, President Obama seems intent on discussing and passing new immigration reform legislation as well. Immigration is a difficult topic in the United States because the country has literally been built on the backs of immigrants; however, there is also a long history of xenophobic thought and nationalistic sentiment in the United States as a whole. The history of immigration is even more contentious in places ...

Introduction

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is the state law regulating the age discrimination in employment opportunities in the US. It was implemented in 1967 to endorse work of the older employees based on their input rather than age. The Act inhibits discrimination, and assists in solving problems that come up with the aging labor force. The Act, ADEA, forbids employment discrimination based on age for employees over 40 years. The original law, enforced in 1967, covered staff between 40 to 65 years (Eglit, 1992). However, subsequent amendments raised and then abolished the upper age boundary, ending compulsory ...

The methodology is a systematic and critical discussion of the methods and procedures used to research a particular area. This chapter discusses the design and methods of the research process in detail along with the justification for selecting them.

Research Approach

The research approach is positivism; it is an empiricist view that considers that knowledge stems from human experience. The primary benefit of positivism is that it grants the required objectivity to the study by nullifying the role of human interest and the researcher's involvement. Crowther and Lancaster(2008) opined that positivist studies employ a deductive approach, and the researcher concentrates ...

All companies must adapt to their specific niche or they are doomed to failure. American Apparel is no exception to this rule.

For American Apparel, there is no evidence of higher quality than analogous brands, and the prices are quite high for the clothing they are offering; as such, the company’s main appeal for the ...

In "Merchants of Cool", so-called "cool hunters" are featured. Cool hunters are marketers who, in search of the next "big teenage craze", attempt to scientifically research how and what to sell to the rapidly-growing teenage demographic. Cool hunters collect marketplace data about teenagers through exhaustive surveys, questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, and even personal visits at home.

Population pyramids are a useful tool for analyzing the population’s age and gender structure. The countries with the rapid population growth have more young people than elderly people. On the contrary, the countries with the slow population growth tend to have a large number of elderly people (Rowntree 23). Sometimes the population pyramids have a very unusual pattern which can be explained only by means of the analysis of the country’s past history and socio-economic development. For instance, in Figure 1 one can see the population pyramid for Qatar in Southwest Asia. There are much more males ...

Globalization has become an increasingly encompassing phenomenon in people’s lives today.

There can be several non price related factors which affect the demand for a product. Some of the most commonly discussed ones are seasonality, branding, demographics, available and future expected income etc. Demographics is one factor which can significantly affect the demand of any product, be it a consumer durable, healthcare, or any other product that we see around us. Demographics include population size, population growth, age distribution of population, gender profile, education levels etc (Bragg, 2013). Whenever there is an ageing population or when the population growth is very low or negative, the overall demand in the economy ...

The big data analysis question that motivates me to apply for the MS in Business Analytics at Marshall, which relates to customer analytics is: “What is the average time taken between a buyer learning or searching of a particular product or service and doing the actual purchase?” Individuals who search through click ads on popular search engines like Google and Yahoo take a long time to become buyers.

Market segmentation for automotive in Canada

The automotive industry in Canada is robust with most players founds in assembly plants; besides, it is ranked 10th among the largest producers of automobile in the world. As the result, practice of market segmentation will best apply in this case because of the various dimensions available for segmenting the market.

Typically, children with poor oral health tend to show an undesirable oral health outcome throughout their childhood and adulthood because people are constantly susceptible to the development of dental caries during their lifetimes (Kawashita, Kitamura, & Saito, 2011). Past investigations have reported that oral health is linked to numerous health issues. Dental caries in childhood, for instance, increases the risk of comorbid maladies like cardiovascular disease and diabetes (Kawashita et al., 2011). The World Health Organization (2015) recognizes the significant impact of oral health ...

Response: Protecting the United States Boarders

Law enforcement agencies are faced with different problems in their bid to secure the borders of United States.

The primary reason why demographic winter would cause concern is the fact that the very essence of the process called “demographic winter” results in a nation’s – as well as well world population’s in general – shrinking. This is pure mathematics: less people are being born, more people are living longer. This ensues several conclusions. First of all, the structure of a society in which demographic winter happens is so that the working groups of people are constantly and incrementally getting smaller. This means a couple of things, including the decline in productivity of a nation (given than less ...

DISCUSSION

The crux behind the behavior perspective is that external forces or events drive the behavior of the individual. In the argument of nature versus nurture, behaviorism suggests that the environment shapes a person through a series of experiences (Feldman, 2013). Said experiences mold the perspective of the individual later in life, and thus making them react in certain ways to certain future events. A poor childhood, for example, could result in a prolonged, or yearning for a childhood, or childlike things later in life. Also, a tragically spent youth could potentially result in empathy toward young people, or a ...

Background Statement For any organization to ultimately be successful, it depends on the presence of competent and effective leadership. It does not matter they type of the organization, and this truth especially applies to the law enforcement community. This reality also applies to organized sports, where a football team may be able to win a game, but without effective leadership in the form of a team manager, coach, or captain, its chances of ultimately winning a title will remain elusive (Schwarzwald, Koslowsky, & Agassi, 2001). Police service is not different than this analogy. Perhaps the most essential component of police ...

Introduction

The notion of social class, and its function within the various societies throughout the global community, has been well documented throughout time. In fact, this very concept is the very basis of the exhaustive work carried out by Karl Marx throughout his professional endeavors, and continues to be the basis for much conflict throughout society. Many make the effective argument, however, that class is a human construct and, as such, is not necessarily an institution that is endeared to human civilization for all time. Postmodernists, for example, make the content that class is actually dead, giving deference to a ...

Several historians have studied the development of cities over the Balkans during the Ottoman period. The explorations shed light on how the urban planning in the Balkans looked like and whether those cities could be labeled either Ottoman or a Balkan. However, the Balkan urbanism in the Ottoman era does need a much more profound approach. With the decline of the Cold War period, there was a revival of ethnic, national and linguistic identities in many parts of the world.
