Introduction Thesis Statement: The use of DNA in a criminal prosecution has helped advance justice for both victims and suspects by, among other things, eliminating the possibility of wrongful conviction due to inaccurate identification.

Problem Statement

There are a number of reasons, defined by the ethical as well as the economic and the political scenes, for the non-diminishing interest in addressing the gap between the rich and the poor. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is an aphorism, which outlines the major views on economic inequality and the criticism, seen in academic and business literature, towards the philosophy of free market and capitalism in general. One of the principal works, laying the foundation for the discussion, is the work by Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2014), who places the idea ...

Neo-liberalism encourages economic liberalism, promoting the divide between the rich and the poor; it is active today, that is why it’s neo or new. However, it has lost dominance since the 1990s because of growing awareness of, and resistance to, its negative consequences. Peters and Bourdieu point out that The World Bank, the IMF, the WTO, the Asia Development Bank (ADB), the OEC, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the GATS have promoted neoliberal policies like privatisation, free trade, lowering labour costs and shrinking public expenditure (qtd. in Jiang 13). The neoliberal policies imposed by ...

Architecture of Madain Salih

One of the mysteries in the historical science of our time is the origin of the monuments Hegre in Saudi Arabia. In the historical literature, it is assumed that this city was built by the Nabataeans - the people, the basis of the life of which was to ensure the caravan trade.

A Reflection on Human Nature

When The New Yorker published Shirley Jackson’s famous story “the Lottery” in 1948, American readers immediately backlashed against the author and the magazine because they found the topic of the story—a mass stoning of a housewife whose name was drawn at random from a lottery—extremely offensive and grotesque. Readers went as far as cancelling their subscriptions to the magazine and numerous threatening mails started pouring in, addressed to the author and editorial staff of the magazine. Readers were also offended because many easily recognized their rural communities and the typical activities conducted in these places such ...

Introduction

The world of programming is huge and complex, so huge and complex that it can arguably be considered as an ecosystem on its own. There are numerous niches, product compatibilities, native programming languages, application program interfaces and platforms, among other possible variables that may be used for grouping and stratification. In this paper, the author focuses on one of the most commonly occurring problems in the realm of programming—compatibility. It is important to note, however, that the discussion was centered on one application development framework only and that is Apache Cordova (formerly known as Phone Gap, although some ...

Montejano in his article, “Anglos and Mexicans in the first century,” describes the repercussions of America’s deteriorating space in the entrepreneurial global-system for the newly accomplished public accommodation between Chicano intermediate class representatives and the Anglo trade in the Southwest (Montejano 2). Montejano further explores the issue of ethnic relations in the United States and views it as the primary cause of economic stagnation in the nation (4).He argues that the contemporary racial condition is characterized by political integration which he describes as the giving way of operational nationality to the Mexican American (5). In addition, 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 ...

Introduction

While many academics debate ethical topics such as anthropological research, the modern day tribal members face more pressing issues, many of them economic. An important component of modern first peoples economic rights include the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which Congress enacted in order to control the way in which the National Indian Gaming Commission conducts business. Even though the Oneida of the twentieth and twenty-first century are separated from their relatives in central New York, Iroquois and others, the Oneida are included in discussions about gaming and economics with these and others who are connected to the nations ...

Introduction

While the political avant-garde of modernist movement had a celebration of dissidence and proceeded to advocate a revolution of art and contemporary life, postmodern art delightfully exist in a world that shows the pluralism of atheistic manner and way of play. Art hardly ever functions on a critical level: the political prospect becomes separate from contemporary art functions. Postmodern art turns to represent not only the consumer society that we live but also a privileged commodity. In the 1960s, "committed" art had turned to be the pillar if artistic postmodernism. Gender issues, class, and race become central particularly following ...

Twenty-First Century Perspective

The Watergate crisis (1972-1974) marks a fundamental breach in the confidence Americans had in the integrity of government officials and in the American political system. Added to the Vietnam War and the economic decline that began to erode people’s income during this period, the Watergate crisis destroyed whatever American idealism remained about the leaders of the nation (Packer, 2011). Throughout the crisis President Nixon had supporters like Dean Burch (1974), who pointed out Nixon’s achievements as a leading statesman, but at the conclusion of the crisis when the taped conversations of the Oval Office were finally released, ...

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways. It appears that, contrary to the popular misperception, democracy is not necessarily a lack of restraint and complete discretion or at least a range of freedom like the right to media. Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...

One of the magnificent works of architecture has been the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai, UAE; that is the highest sky scraper to date. The enormous growth of the architectural world ...

The Age of Enlightenment is also commonly referred to as the Age of Reason. It lasted from 1650 to 1800. Many agree that the cause of Enlightenment was the Thirty Year War (1618-1648) though it was only an outcrop of many underlying issues that faced Europe at the time (Broner, 122). It came to an end during the French revolution. It is such wars that motivated German philosophers and authors to criticize the idea of nationalism and wars to protect nationhood. The German authors included Hugo Grotius and John Cornenius, who were the pioneers of the ideas that formed ...
