Introduction

In a world where the Pandora's Box opened a long time ago, every day new diseases are being discovered. New cases with new (or old) illnesses come up every day in huge numbers before the medical fraternity. While prevention and control measures safeguard the majority of the population from transmittable diseases, developing nations still find it hard to curb transmissible illnesses, thus increasing the incidences of illness or a disease in a household by manifold. In such a scenario, the point to ponder is how the citizens across the world, especially those of developing nations afford to pay for Continue reading...

Introduction
The paper is focused on the difference between developed economies and developing economies. The focus is to look at the gross domestic products (GDP), export rates, and import rates of advanced economies with those from less developed economies. These are compared to see those factors that have resulted in the increasing gap between advanced economies and developing economies. These choices of data are chosen because they are very factual and explain the real world situation.

International trade has continued to Continue reading...

Introduction

However, this industrial revolution led to a series of problems both social and economic. Among these problems was the fact that Britain had become the world’s most urbanized country. This meant that almost half of the population of Britain at this time was living in cities. This led to several social problems mainly in the areas of education, healthcare and housing. There were also several economic problems that would face Britain after 1870. The emergence of new industrial powers in Germany and U.S.A meant that Britain’s industrialization was facing a decline. The UK had for so long Continue reading...

Despite the great progress in healthcare and medical technology, antibiotic resistant bacteria still need to be addressed very effectively. Superbugs are at rage against the humankind. An estimated one in twenty, or five percent, of patients now pick up a threatening superbug infection from the hospitals and this number is rising all the time. A recent study has shown that more than 1.7 million patients in the United States develop Continue reading...

Analysis of sample

We see that the most powerful companies are the transitional companies which merge so as to increase their capital and also have the little bit of monopoly power in the industries. This enables them to compete favorably with those companies that are newly established or those that have low capital invested and hence this company continues to be powerful forces in the economy of the world.
The manufacturing industries are concentrated in the developed world. The above map show that there is little or no manufacturing industries in Africa. I do support this because from the map most of Continue reading...

Introduction

Rising levels of industrialization in Australia has led to increased demand for energy by both the domestic and commercial sectors of the economy.

Without energy, rates of economic growth and development would stagnate or even drop in severe circumstances. However, in recent times, there have been intensified calls for energy companies to Continue reading...

Globalization of corporations has affected the geography, people and the economic system. It is not surprising to understand that globalization has developed across borders to progress in trade; however globalization has not been beneficial for the people as the advantages of globalization are savored only by the corporations.

Social attitude to abortion is primarily defined by moral norms and traditions of society, living conditions. In recent decades, abortion has become one of the most intensely and diversely debated issues of the moral theory. Defenders of abortion rights and their opponents do not agree among themselves even in the terminology of the dispute. Opponents argue that the problem here is the following: whether or not the embryos should not be killed, like other human beings. Advocates believe the central question here is whether it is possible to force a woman to bear an unwanted fetus even at the Continue reading...

Introduction

Poverty is the deprivation of basic things like money, food or assets that are essential for a normal life. GDP on the other hand is the goods and services produced within the by a country in a year. It is known that with increase in poverty it leads to reduction in output of a country. This is because essential resources that are vital for production are lacking. It also means that human capital is insufficient and consequently the resources needed to stir growth are used to feed and provide for the poor population.
Poverty and unstable GDP are common Continue reading...

Financial repression can be seen in many countries. The concept of financial repression was introduced in 1973 by Stanford economists Edward S. Shaw and Ronald I. McKinnon. The term financial repression means a government policy which aims at lowering interest rates and restricting capital movements. The goal of such government policy, which concerns monetary policy, is to reduce the government debt. Such government measurements can be defined as “stealth tax” (Polin 3). The long-term goal of such measurements is to reduce unemployment in the country and to spur the economic growth. It can be said, that such measurements can Continue reading...

Introduction

The concept of globalization in today’s world is very wide.

The World Bank defines inequality as the disparity of income and standard of living among nations and their citizens (Birdsall, 2005). Inequality refers to the differences that exist among various groups of people in the society and should not be Continue reading...

Since the ancient times, it is visible that there is always a gap between societies that often divides them into two or more distinct groups. There are countries that have more political and economic capability than other countries, while there are countries that are better in social stability. In terms of people, they are mostly divided through their financial capability, educational attainment and upbringing, which would then determine as to whether or not they can keep up with the modern world. As far as technology is concerned, people are yet again divided over their capacity to know and afford Continue reading...

There is clear positive relationship between imports and rate of economic growth of the country. The trade is considered favorable if the amount realized from the imports is more than the amount that was used to acquire them. Developing countries focus more on exporting their products while the developed countries will import more so that they can comfortably sustain their economy. Imports will always give pressure to the manufacturers to be more innovative on their production and apply methods that cut on costs so as to be able to compete with imports that are usually cheap.
International trade accelerates Continue reading...

Abstract

Working in a multicultural health care setting calls for a workforce that clearly understand the ethical and legal considerations that exist in relation to culture, beliefs, background, as well as knowledge. While physician and nurses have the upper hand in ensuring quality health care as well as life sustaining measures, the patient holds a very critical role in dictating the care procedures that they prefer. Bioethics studies have had differing approaches to the issue of making informed consent to health care procedures. However, there is one thing that remains untouched. The greatest responsibility is the life if the patients Continue reading...

Hence, organizational culture is concerned with perceptions, ways of thinking and feeling which influences business interactions Continue reading...

What is the "Good in life" what is the end goal?

What is the "Good in life" what is the end goal is perhaps one big question that everyone will always try to find an answer from within oneself. When a person is growing the ambition to achieve one or two things at a given time in their life drives them. At the same time, they will consider themselves not to have lived up to their expectations when those goals will not have been achieved by the end of that time. As a matter of philosophy, every human being will always want to live happy in the course of their Continue reading...

Global scenario and California

Global scenario and California
Water is a precious nonrenewable resource. It is limited in quantity and serves the entire humanity, and all living beings on earth. A man can survive without water for only three days. Many problems on earth are attributed to increasing population and water scarcity is one of them. The exponential growth of the human population not only endangers other living things on earth but also deprives them of essential requirements like clean water, clean air, and a safe habitat to live. Water as a resource is under threat because it is contaminated, misused, wasted, and Continue reading...

Introduction

In the modern world, human trafficking is a problem that causes humanitarian concern. Victims of human trafficking have endured unimaginable suffering. Humanitarian aid workers have often been on the forefront to salvage the situation. However, their efforts have been frustrated since some law enforcement agents and politicians support this illegal activity. The fight against human trafficking in the United States can be traced back to 1999 when the Congress raised an alarm over the issue. Unfortunately, the vice still persists although the number of victims has reduced. This therefore raises several questions about human trafficking as it affects the Continue reading...

Ghana and Nigeria are two adjoining African states, which have achieved so much based on economic growth. There are great similarities between the economies of these two countries. This is so because they are the primary producer at about the same stage of development based on per capita income. In both countries, agriculture accounts the greatest percentage in the GDP because they depend significantly on the export of agriculture products. Therefore, external trade plays an equally important part of the economies of the two countries. However, the political stability and proper governance have been the key driver of economic Continue reading...

Introduction

It is not uncommon to hear remarks like, “Tiger Woods is letting your people down,” or “I knew it! Women cannot drive.” These are just some of the fainter forms of ethnic/ racial discrimination that do unnoticed in everyday life. Discrimination is the inferior or unequal treatment of people on the grounds of characteristics such as gender, religion or belief, race of color of skin, age, sexual orientation; political persuasion, civil status, ethnic background, nationality etc (Allen 891; Butler 308). In the contemporary world, discrimination takes subtler forms that in the traditional setting. Gender discrimination is one of the Continue reading...

In the article Students Behaving Badly, Richard Flacks seeks to explain the attributes of college and university students today. Their character and mannerisms, he says, are highly influenced by their backgrounds in terms of family, race and education. He made his point of view known from the onset of his findings because he tries to draw comparisons on what happens in college and universities today from what used to happen many decades ago. But then there is a problem with the way he puts forth his findings because the environment in which the studies are done is quite different. Continue reading...

Recommendations for AbbVie’s Overdependence on Humira

Patent Cliff and AbbVie

It is a true fact that no solitary factor can fully explain the U.S health disadvantage. To me, it has numerous causes and comprises some mixture of insufficient health care, unfavorable economic, detrimental behaviors and social conditions. Without proceedings to invalidate existing trends, the health of the United States will doubtless continue to plummet behind that of citizens in the other developed countries.

This is an example of the posts used by Obamacare to familiarize the citizens on the existence of these cares.

The article describes further that those who haves lives in the rural areas and they are also against the Obamacare. Living in the rural areas makes this particular group to eat a healthy diet, unlike the Continue reading...
