Introduction

The concept of sustainable development was first introduced in 1987 by the United Nations as part of the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, in which it was stated that sustainable development implies “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). The World Conservation Strategy published in 1980 served as prelude to the conception of this notion, as the UN recognized the importance of minimizing the impact of human activity over the earth’s ecosystems and adopting models inclined towards sustainability ...

High rates of unemployment are referred to one of the biggest economic concerns in the United States. The number of unemployed people increases substantially in the periods of economic downturn. As Stater and Wenger (2013) ascertain, “the national unemployment rates averaged 9.5 and 9.0 percent in 2010 and 2011” (p. 2). The unemployment rate serves as an indicator of “a community’s socioeconomic deprivation as well as its social disintegration or disorganization” (Singh & Siahpush, 2016, p. 9). This indicator is strongly associated with income inequality as well as levels of poverty across ...

The predictions that old structures cannot withstand increasing wind loads also inform the new designs. In this report, the loads on the frames have been established to shed light on the ...

The media have given the depiction of female-instigated violence a partial coverage, and the belief has been otherwise. In fact, the reporting and the perception of the society have been oriented to male- instigated violence and this construed thought has had a place in the media reporting parlance. Based on this desertion, I have realized a series of shortfalls that have often marred reporting and coverage of female instigated violence. Therefore, I can attest that the partiality in this reporting has construed the social mindsets that male propagates most violence, and the public belief has been that female aggressions ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is one of the most famous novels by the American romantic writer. While the novel is well-known for its depiction of the relationships between the characters, and the romantic plots and subplots, the novel also has great value as a historical study of the Puritan period. Puritan society was a highly gendered society, with strict gender roles for men and women, and a well-established patriarchal society. Explorations of the novel, and of the depiction of Hester’s character, her punishment, and her actions in the novel can help reveal whether Hawthorne was realistically ...

Introduction The health care system in the United States is considered to be unique among other developed countries, including those participating in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Moreover, access to quality health care refers to another side of complexity, because uninsured ...

Both Satre and Camus, important and famous French philosophers of the middle of the 20th century explored various facets of what may be called existentialist philosophy. Sartre grounded his work by focusing on the concept, and practice, of human freedom, While Camus approached existentialism from a tension between absurdity and the meaning of making choices and commitment. While both philosophers worked in very different areas of the wide branch of philosophy known as existentialism, both Camus and Sartre build their systems on the foundation of a life, or universe, without any divine force, and certainly without the idea of ...

The book “Democratic Insecurities: Violence Trauma And Intervention In Haiti” by Erica James examines the connection between the problems that Haiti has with democracy and security and the level of humanitarian and military involvement that has occurred within the country.

These changes, the author contends are rooted in the violence and repression that these individuals have been subjected to. As these groups continue to intervene in the lives of the ...

On a global front, creativity acts as a priority to educational systems and is primary to the debate concerning contemporary learning. In his Talk “Do Schools Kill Creativity”, filmed on TED in February 2006, Ken Robinson argues that the current education system places a significant role in killing creativity in children. He, instead, recommends the creation of a personalized approach that encourages creativity development. Ideally, Robinson develops his credibility on this issue using personal events, credible sources, and emotional appeals. In his talk, Robinson initially sets the stage by outlining three primary points that define his presence to the ...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Spanish horror-fantasy film The Devil’s Backbone is a unique ghost story for its time, given the film’s setting during the Spanish Civil War and the morally ambiguous nature of the ghosts found in the film. In telling the story of a small orphanage in rural Spain in the early 1930s, haunted by a small boy named Santi whose death provides one of the central mysteries, The Devil’s Backbone mixes the high fantasy of fairy tales with the gritty despair of one of Spain’s most tumultuous historical periods. As evidenced in the ...

Compare and Contrast Hegel and Marx on Civil Society and the Problem of Human Freedom

Essay

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel argued that civil society is characterized by private property, the pursuit of self-interest, and human needs. He viewed civil society as a body of needs wherein people align their specific personal interests with social expectations and necessities, which are finally negotiated by the all-embracing state. Hegel claimed that civil society is perfectly able to balance the wide array of human interests and needs. However, he further stated that the state, as a highly ethical entity, provides stability to the totality of needs by guaranteeing the security and strength of the division of labor, social ...

The historic incident of the U.S attack on the Iraqi Ba’arthist troops headed by Saddam Hussein on 1991 and the annexation of the country in 2003 have generated different debates on the actual intention of the stakeholders. Critics in favor of America’s action opine that these incidents were actually moral projects undertaken by America in order to release the Iraqi civilians from the claustrophobic ambiance prevailing in the country because of the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. These critics believe that America took over the ethical duty to organize the law and order of Iraq and establish a democratic ...

Introduction People often associate art with beauty such that art forms appeal to the audience because of their aesthetic qualities. Nonetheless, as we explore various theories, concepts, and approaches in art design, we discover that beauty is diverse. As the famous saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that the standard and quality of beauty differs based on varying constructs and views of beauty. The conflict and exchange between perfection and imperfection, for instance, illustrates the variability of beauty as a construct in art design (Bailey & Peoples, 2010). Beauty is not merely a creation or ...

The time is March 2004 and the place is Paraguay. It is there, where a group of hunter-gatherers, quite possibly one of the few willingly isolated societies in the planet, came running out of the forest in northern Paraguay, escaping from ranchers' earthmovers. The Gran Chaco forest, which means "hunting land" in the Quechua language, the language of the people, is a thinly inhabited, warm and semi-arid coastal natural area of the Río de la Plata basin, shared among Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, where it is attached to the Pantanal region.

To these, he states the contradicting nature of the mental process and unconsciousness and cites that the psychological analysis is going to be based on that. He establishes that consciousness does occur in a mental state but that there are some aspects of the state that depict unconsciousness. The state of consciousness is ...

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

There have been several studies done on the benefits of adult education (Demidenko, 2007; Grace, 2012; Nordlund, 2013, Reese, 2012; Roehrig, 2010; Jensen, 2007). Grace (2012) provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits of adult education. This author argues that education has a significant role in societal transformation. In the past, education was valued by a few, a reason why a large percentage of the old generation in modern society is uneducated or partially educated. Supporting this perception, Nordlund (2013) clarifies that education has undergone rapid transformation recently. Nordlund further explains that, while a majority of adults has completed secondary education, less than half of ...

“Psycho” is one of the most horrifying movies by Alfred Hitchcock.

Hitchcock introduces the viewers to the film’s characters and invites them to enter their world through consistent close up shots. By doing so, the audience establishes a much closer contact with the character and they seem to observe his/her experience ...

Winston Churchill, in his "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech, and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech still stand as monumental calls to action. Both men use rhetorical strategies that underscore their persuasive abilities, and both men speak authoritatively and convincingly. However, it is King whose gift of rhetorical craft and persuasive ability outdoes Churchill, because of his balanced approach to ethos, logos, and pathos. In both speeches, King and Churchill establish a strong foundation of ethos from the beginning. For example, Churchill is very specific about details from Great Britain's battles in Belgium against advancing Nazi ...

This is done through a combination of visual motifs, symbolism, and character moments juxtaposed through flashbacks and editing. Throughout the course of the pilot, the flaws, alignments and attitudes of the characters are weighed against a sense of ...

When palliative care was first introduced in healthcare, the focus of care delivery was exclusively on cancer patients and their families, but it eventually expanded to other types of terminal illness (Zimmermann et al., 2008). At the moment, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2014) defines palliative care as a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare for patients that are diagnosed with life-threatening conditions. A different definition describes palliative care as an intervention aiming to mitigate suffering instead of curing an illness (Becker, 2008). All definitions agree that the purpose of palliative care is to provide relief from pain, enhance the quality of ...
