Introduction

Sharp fluctuation in oil price since the 1970s and its impact on the economy, both macro and micro, have gained huge attention from scholars. Speculative factors alongside immense instability in demand and supply have caused an aggressive increase in oil prices, especially in the previous decades (Hacioglu & Dincer, 2013). Thus, research on this issue intensified and a number of studies tried to explain the core relationship between oil prices and price levels in the economy. In relation to this, researchers have analysed the correlation between oil prices and manufacturing or industrial production, oil prices and balance of trade, oil ...

Tabarrok (2016) asserts that the modern trade theories in global businesses today focus on the roles of businesses in increasing their scale returns, as well as, network effects in their markets.

Abstract Every speech is embellished by metaphoric expression, despite its context, content, and tone. In different fields the application of metaphors may vary, yet still they are applied regardless the situation consciously or unconsciously. In the speech of adults, metaphoric expressions play pivotal role serving as the instruments of persuasion, simplification, and demonstration. There is less evidence that explain the utilization of metaphors by children. Some scholars insist that children use metaphoric expressions unconsciously, while the other researchers imply that they implement the metaphors due to their symbolic perception of the environment. There is certain inconsistency in the results ...

The point of view is a perspective from which the author chooses a narrator to tell a story. The third-person narrators are usually observers but not characters in the story. Kate Chopin in “The Story of an Hour” uses the third-person omniscient narrative, which captures the reader and makes him sympathetic to Louise Mallard. The reader has a possibility to see how the woman interacts with other characters, her thoughts, and feelings. Indeed, the omniscient narrator is able to tell the story of Louise’s hour of evolution and freedom but the happiness lasted only for an hour before ...

Seven Sayings from Calvary Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do (Luke 23:24) These words can be heard from the man whose last day were absolutely awful.

The recent proposal by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to convince billionaires to give up half of their wealth was well received in the USA but received a cold reaction from the German super rich. Gates and Buffet’s proposal resulted in forty of the world most affluent individuals agreeing to donate half of their wealth to charity after their death. Some of Germany’s wealthiest, however, viewed the move with skepticism and explained the move to be too flashy. Most of the German billionaires who had an adverse reaction to the proposal explained that they had previously given ...

My article appeared in The Nation magazine in December of 2015 and is entitled “The Oil Price Plunge.” I selected this article in order to better understand the macroeconomic effects that oil shocks may have (“The Oil Price Plunge” 5). This article defines the two major ways oil price movements can affect the macro economy. One common explanation holds that oil price increases can inhibit GDP growth by raising production costs. Alternatively, big oil price changes (either in the form of increases or decreases) may adversely affect output by causing a delay in business investment because of raising uncertainty. ...

I. While person gets to know something regarding crime or related issues, the offender, the victim are the two parties that necessarily come to mind. The victim, generally, refers to the party that was harmed as a result of the offender’s violation of a criminal law. The key underlying element in this definition is that a person, the offender, is motivated for financial or personal gain to violate a law, rule, regulation or custom.

Literacy of Emoticons

The literature world and the computer communication systems have diversified mainly due to the new technological advancements. The rise of these contemporary form of textual communication has raised eyebrows however much figurative the spoken or written language tries to communicate.

Introduction

While this crime has happened decades ago, it still haunts the minds of investigators, experts, and historians. The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the mysteries that has remained unraveled until these days. Myriads of conspiracy theories linking together the CIA, FBI, KGB, Cuba, and Lyndon B. Johnson, were the result of, as experts admitted, an ambiguous and negligent official report. The assassination of JFK was particularly sudden and shocking for the American people, which required a close and meticulous examination. On November, 1963 President of the U.S. Lyndon B. Johnson has created a special commission for ...

Since ancient times, thanks to the social needs a person had to distinguish and take into account individual psychological characteristics of people. Even then, people began to think about the existence of a spiritual principle, which has guided their behavior. Psychology, as a special scientific discipline, was born in the depths of philosophy, and so the psychological "dimension" of identity is very difficult to identify and explore not focusing on the philosophical doctrine of man, the specifics of its existence (individual and public), about the nature of human consciousness and activity. The formation of psychology as a science has ...

Internal Controls

The recent journal article under consideration is titled, “Internal Control and Audit Program Effectiveness: Empirical Evidence from Jordan”, by Fawzi Al Sawalqa and Atala Qtish. The authors investigate the association between some elements such as control environment, risk assessment, and control activities of the modern internal control system used in organizations and the effectiveness and accuracy of audit procedures in Jordan. The authors use 43 usable questionnaires to get responses from professional auditors across Jordan. The study results indicate that the risk determination through internationally acceptable procedures does not necessarily mean an effective audit program (Al Sawalqa & Qtish 128). ...

Digital media is fast gaining its stronghold on businesses because of its popularity nowadays.

In return, the stakeholders respond to these messages and an active flow of communication emerges between the organizations and the customers. In fact, video sharing ...

Public Relations

Definitions Public relation is a term that has evolved over the years with varied interpretations based on its application and understanding. According to Hunt's definition, PR is the organization of communications amid a business and its community. Management, as used in the definition, indicates how a business is coordinated using the available information to achieve its desired goals. However, interaction or communication is employed in the definition to signify that the interchanged message should be well comprehended by an organized group working to achieve a single objective (Ledingham et al., 2015). The public will signify a group that is ...

Zhao, Yushan, Zhu, Hongjing, Studies in Literature and Language

Abstract Most studies of inter-subjectivity are about the translators' subjectivity, which pay less attention to the subjectivity of writers and readers. Some papers center on binary dialogue among translation subjects, and place one subject in the center. Based on Davidson's triangulation model, the paper provides a clearer ternary dialogue for intersubjectivity. Davidson adopts "triangulation" to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. Translation, as the cross-cultural communication involving many subjects, is the result of the triangulation among the subjects. Triangulation in translation should be: a writer, a source text and a translator; a translator, a target text and ...

Authors, poets, and playwrights use language in different ways to achieve certain aims and express various themes. Poets may choose to use specific words, as well as unique accents to bring out different emotions, such as laughter, suspense, and love, among others. Ben Crystal provides an explanation of how Shakespeare uses language by analyzing several aspects including the accent and theatrical conventions used in Shakespeare’s work. The language aspects used by Shakespeare help to provide a further understanding of life at the time Shakespeare wrote his plays. Just as Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde employs different aspects of language to ...

This problem is important due to the implications that this has on equality and social progress. The regard that is given to equality within the corporate and business realm has direct implications on the view that society as a whole has regarding the issue.

In psychology and psychophysiology there were many attempts to give a comprehensive definition of attention. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, medical definition of attention is ‘the act or state of attending: the application of the mind to any object of sense or thought; an organismic condition of selective awareness or perceptual receptivity; specifically: the complex of neuromuscular adjustments that permit maximum excitability or responsiveness to a given class of stimuli; the process of focusing consciousness to produce greater vividness and clarity of certain of its contents relative to others (Merriam-webster.com) while as stated in ‘On the neural basis of focused ...

“In knowledge there is always a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity.”

Evaluate this Statement in Relation to Two Areas of Knowledge In some context, simplicity is a term suggesting ignorance. It is not a way of knowing but a measure of knowledge. Simplicity can also refer to something that is basic or uncomplicated and may affect the way of knowing. Barrow argues that simplicity is a function of perspective. Based on his argument, a physicist might view the world as simple based on his understanding of particles and matter. Physics is a field based largely on reason and his interpretation of the universe as a series of simple algorithms is ...

Terrorism is a problematic issue for the whole globe. It is a policy based on systematic use of terror with political, social, cultural or economic purpose.

Every country defines terrorism in different way taking into account various aspects of this notion, that is why there does not exist a universally accepted legal definition of the term. The European Union suggests the definition of terrorism for official purpose that provides the explanation that terrorists ...

Do you believe in reincarnation? Personally I never did before. I cannot say that I belong to that category of people who refer themselves to any particular religion or devote their lives to appreciating gods or saints. I preferred to characterize myself as a rational person. I believed in rationality and usually can find a sober reason and explanation to anything in the world – everything that seems to be supernatural has a rational explanation. I never really thought and cared about my soul, but a tiny event that recently happened in my life made me change my views and ...

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 ...

Handling an angry or uncooperative patient can be a challenge to any healthcare professional trying to perform a medical procedure on the patient’s behalf. When a patient is faced with a sudden illness, he or she may experience overwhelming fear about the outcome of any testing or procedures that have to be performed. For many patients with no medical knowledge, testing brings with it more fear about what is going to happen during the tests. The role of the radiology professional is to maintain compassion while educating the patient about the procedure that is to be performed. In ...

Maps can generally be described as representation of the real world through graphics. However, this representation is usually considered an abstraction of the real world phenomenon (Chorley and Peter, 48). This is mainly as a result of the fact that the universe is infinite and it is quite impossible to capture its entire complexities in a single source. Maps can be used to represent various issues for instance: The distribution of human population, temperatures and other aspects of the environment. In the case of representing the distribution of nature in an accurate manner the following maps can be used:

The Social Bond Theory was due to the need to try to create an explanation to social problems that may not have been addressed. The social control theory was developed based on the Social Bond Theory; the theory was found as an interesting way of addressing diverse social problems. The theory is well elaborated through Hirschi (1969) point of view. The theory tries to create an understanding of the diverse element of a society that varies from social norms, commitment to institutions and attachment to family members (Hirschi, 2002). This is with the intention of explaining the complicated organization ...

The world had always been full of different religious beliefs, because there is probably no universal explanation of the origins of human creation. Since the ancient times, we all needed a symbol of faith and of the existence of the judge, who sees everything, thus, is always eager to price, or to punish. Depending to the extent to which we’ve followed his commandments. The two religions: Islam and Christianity are highly different, and their followers are people, whose worldview differs from the other. It makes the two different religions mystically connected, and creates a view of the existence ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

The behavioral approach to psychology holds that human development is chiefly behavior learned through observation and the interaction with the environment around a person. The theories associated with behaviorism state that human development does not necessarily occur in stages; instead, it is a continuous process. In this regard, two main theories linked to the behavioral approach exist - B. F. Skinner’s Operant Conditioning Theory and Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. These two theories establish the perspective of the behavioral approach in explaining human development. Accordingly, the various concepts and terms of the two theories apply in explaining my choice ...

Is Evolution True?

Is Evolution True? Development can be defined as the fundamental process whereby species that are new develop from earlier species through accumulated changes. Sometimes an evolution is described as "descent with modification". As this process of speciation continues to take place, many species start to appear thus becoming increasingly different, and this continues over time and becomes a pattern. Through many observations of the changes in life forms over time, these models have been developed. Charles Darwin explains that the mechanism on hoe evolution occurs is by natural selection. Having constantly been observed, natural selection role in being the ...

Describe the major purpose of theory in the sciences and practice disciplines

In the simplest terms, a theory can be defined as an explanation of something. Therefore, a theory can be said to explain why and how a particular function occurs in the way that it does. Therefore, a theory can be defined as an organized body of concepts and principles that are intended to explain a particular phenomenon. The process of systematically organizing and formulating the specific ideas and procedures to find the meaning of a particular phenomenon is known as theorizing. There are also assumptions that should be made while proposing the theories. While the explanation of various phenomena in the sciences and the practice ...

Understanding the history and the current status of feminist movements has been of great importance as it helps one understand the struggles women have passed through in fighting inequality. My favorite readings of the quarter were the article by Shaw and Lee, which explained the system of privileges and inequality in women's lives and the book by Reeds. In the article by Shaw and Lee, an expeditious explanation has been made in explaining the relationships and hierarchies in the society. Reeds, on the hand, provide a detailed explanation of the experiences of civil and women's rights movements from different societies ...

Introduction

Historically philosophers religious people, atheists and other interested parties have developed numerous argument about the existence of God, basing their arguments on ideologies and presuppositions. However, the argument is presumed to majorly between religious people who believe in the existence of God and atheists who believe there is no God. For contemporary atheists, their justifications for non-existence of God is based on lack of evidence for his existence. Although there is no evidence for the existence of God according to atheists, there are numerous proofs of existence of a supernatural being (Gutting, 2012). This has been due to lack of ...

Question 1: Role of an Apology

The purpose of an apology is to restore a pre-existing moral order by expunging hurtful effects of previous actions by accounting for what is not alterable. While it may not achieve this, the motivation for a transgressor to apologize includes the need for forgiveness and reconciliation, which makes it possible to paper over the transgressions and bar them from becoming permanent impediments to social relationships. Further, Tavuchis (1991) argues that apologies speak to some things that are larger than any specific betrayal or desire for expediency/reconciliation (p. 6). Social order is hinged on a measure of commitment to norms in respect of ...

Introduction.

When teaching science, instructors use a specialized language that has many dissimilarities from the language that students generally use throughout the day (O’Toole, 2003). Each different occasion for language has a set of intrinsic purposes, values and characteristics, and the purpose of these different traits is to demonstrate the unique properties of that category of language. For example, in scientific language, there is an emphasis on precision in diction, as well as conciseness and clarity. No matter what the language is, writers hope to achieve a style that is comprehensible to its readers while remaining true to the aims of the ...
