Abstract

Hammurabi’s Code placed great value upon the slave as property, not as a human being. The slave’s value appeared to be measured by the degree to which he or she could perform work for the slave-owner. Grave punishments were inflicted upon a man who deprived another of his slave. While assaults upon freemen resulting in injury or death were punished in draconian fashion, monetary damages were the measure of reparation for the injury or wrongful death of a slave and were payable not to the slave or his family, but to the slave-owner. Liability for professional malpractice ...

Abstract

In second language acquisition, the teaching methods are primarily meant to contribute to learner’s acquisition of the language, not learning of the targeted foreign language. This implies focusing on communication (enhancing the vocabulary) and on process rather than on grammar and on product (learning the language). In this context, for stimulating the communication, teachers need to create relaxed environments for the learners to feel comfortable in communicating and interacting among themselves, sharing their experience with others and in the same time learning from various strategies or language acquisition methods. Such language acquisition methods are presented in the current ...

After having read Good Country People three times, the first time to take note of

my personal reaction, the second and third times to glean information, I found from my

personal perspective this is the typical O’Conner story--everything is hum-drum dry and

then along comes the antagonist to turn it upside down and to teach someone (even the

reader) a lesson. Initially it appears that Mrs. Hopewell and Mrs. Freeman will be the

ones who will be learning something in this story. They are both set in their ways and

look like they need to see another point of view in life. Their personalities are sharply

defined and brought to the reader’s ...

1. What are the four mind-sets about the environment? Why are they important to our thinking about business ethics?

Four critical mindsets about the environment must be put into consideration in the management practice. These mindsets help to steer the organization towards a financial prosperity including generosity, vulnerability, candor and accountability. Generosity is the belief in mutual existence between the organization and the society. Other behaviors arise from this major behavior. It is the commitment to mutual support.

"Hills Like White Elephants" and "A New England Nun"

Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" follows two conflicted and ambiguous characters - Jig and the American. Though their primary struggle and conflict is never explicitly mentioned, it is heavily implied that these two characters were or are in a relationship, Jig is pregnant, and the American wishes for her to have an abortion. In Eleanor Wilkins Freeman's "A New England Nun," a similarly contentious relationship is shown, between the happily-established Louisa and the selfish, disruptive Joe, who comes into her life because of a promise which nearly ...

Introduction

Success is an abstract concept which is difficult to be defined in one single sentence. Success means different things to different people. One may weigh success in terms of material gains; another may weigh success in terms of spiritual values. Most of the people define success in terms of achieving a mission or a goal. For instance, in Genesis 1.28 of Bible, God while entering into a covenant with Noah blessed him with "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the ...

Introduction

It has been noted that Fast Food TV commercials have biased representation of gender; majorly favoring the males. These commercials promote heteronormative and sex-role stereotypes, which are Packwood and Merskin, argue in their article “Having it His Way: the Construction of Masculinity in Fast-Food TV Advertising” (Packwood, & Merskin, p. 456) to be as unhealthy as the fast food themselves. Most of the fast food TV commercials represent men as heterosexuals, which imply that the fast food ads aimed towards such male members of the society. On the other hand, critics argue that such ads present women as the weaker ...

1.0 Pivotal response therapy (PRT) Pivotal response therapy/treatment/training is one of the early behavioral intervention techniques developed for management of autism. This techniques is built on the premise that autism interferes with “pivotal behaviors” that ultimately underlie other behaviors are deficient in autistic children. The pivotal behaviors/areas are initiating activities, motivation, self-management, feelings and responding to multiple/complicated cues (signals). PRT therefore aims at increasing pivotal behaviors, particularly motivation, which would in turn enhance generalization. The autistic child chooses the activity and is rewarded (positive reinforcement) for every correct responses or attempt. As such, PRT trains the child to respond ...

Executive Summary

Foreign Direct Investment has been rated by economists as one the most vibrant and stable forms of capital inflow into an economy (Kalfadelis, Gray & Freeman 2006). This is mainly because it involves the establishment of infrastructure that supports the business into the country and hiring of personnel from the local human resource base. However, this is dependent on the level of profitability that such investment have. The Australian people have relied on foreign direct investment for over 200 years in order to meet domestic investment needs because of its relative plenty in terms of resources (Vasek, ...

Labor Market

Labor market is a form of the economy that functions through demand and the supply of labor. Labor demand is the companies demand; labor and supply focus on the supply of the labor workers. The bargaining power is likely to have high influence on both supply and demand.

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

- There are several issues with the credentials in this case study. Laparoscopic laser cholecystectomy procedure has been refined since its initial conception, and is much easier that it was years ago. However, it is still a complicated procedure. The fact that it is now offered on a consistent outpatient basis may be the reason that medical facilities, such as the one mentioned in the case study, consider it worthy only of workshop certification. Another reason may be that it is considered minimally invasive, which is a phrase that, according to “Ensuring Physicians' Competence — Is Maintenance of Certification the ...

Freeman Charles, “The motives of Constantine” in A New History of Early Christianity (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1947), 225-333.

In his chapter “The motives of Constantine,” Freeman argues that the motive for legalizing Christianity by Constantine was to increase his support base, especially among Christians. After defeating Maxentius, Constantine still had to seek support to defeat Licinius, who still ruled the Roman Empire until his defeat in 324 (Freeman 227). Freeman draws his sources from Constantine’s confidant, Eusebius who wrote History of the Church. This points to the idea that Constantine had political motives to legalizing the church. However, by that time, religion still constituted a paltry population of the empire, with less wealth and influence, whose ...

This letter is intended to reach the social domain of the American society especially those audiences who have concerns over the involvement of physicians in helping ...

The end of the Civil War saw an end to slavery, allowing enslaved African-Americans to become freedmen, and with that came many rights they had heretofore been denied. Some of these rights were a promise to freedmen who fought for the North to get “forty acres and a mule,” a phrase referring to the allotment of land and property for any black American who enlisted for service in the Union army. After this point, Reconstruction occurred, a time of strife and great adjustment for a healing nation. Despite the freeing of all African-Americans from slavery, they still had significant ...

Abstract

Early ambulation is now recognised as an intervention that confers many positive benefits to patients following cardiac surgery. However, there is lack of clarity as to the optimum time for the patient to perform early ambulation. A focused question was developed to ascertain whether early ambulation within 24 hours after extubation is more effective compared to ambulation 24 hours or more following extubation. The clinical question guided the search and retrieval of 6 studies that were subsequently appraised. There are benefits and many limitations of the chosen studies and do not provide sufficient evidence to answer the clinical question ...

With the increased consumer awareness, organizational success is now more dependent on their actual and/or perceived commitment to socio-economic, environmental, and other aspects of sustainability. It is no longer acceptable as proper for organizations to thrive in isolation from the communities that are affected by such a firm’s actions. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an important way for firms to strike a balance between economic, environmental and social responsibilities in operations, which in turn ensures that they cater for the interests of all their stakeholder’s interests and expectations. CSR has different meanings and has varying definitions depending ...

How should labor relations in the United States progress in the future?

Labor relations have been facing stiff opposition as well as criticism for quite some time now. Membership in unions has also drastically reduced today compared to in the 1950s. Membership has declined from 33 percent for all American workers in the 1950s to 11.8 percent today (Freeman and Hilbrich 1). The most affected areas are in the south where labor unions are virtually nonexistent. The few that remain in other parts of America continue to struggle. Remarkably, changes need to be made so that their activities can progress in the future. Scholars and researchers argue that the only successful ...

This was a level lower than in the year 2011 when the union membership was at 11.8 percent.

Social and ethical responsibilities in business

Social responsibility is an ethical theory, which requires individuals or corporations to be accountable and fulfill their civic duties. Individuals or corporations actions must be of benefit to the whole society. For social responsibility to take place, there must be a balance between the environment, welfare of the society, and economic growth (Davis, 1960). Once the maintenance of this equilibrium is achieved, social responsibility is achieved. Social responsibility is build on an ethics system whereby decisions and actions are required ethical approval before proceeding (Freeman, 2001).

Introduction

The word segregation is commonly used to describe the obligatory separation of certain ethnic group based on the racial prejudice. The racial segregation in America was viewed as a discriminatory practice that oppressed the African American. This is because it was associated with the consequences such as perpetual urban poverty, lack of affordable houses, and economic oppression of the minority community. Although this led to the Civil Right Movement in the history of America, the segregation practice prevails in the present lives and is mainly affecting the American minority groups. For instance, from the education perspective, the African-American student ...

The Tennessee Valley Authority (T.V.A.) began its construction as part of a plan for 17 nuclear reactors in total. However, in the 1980s, at around the time that its predecessor (Watts Bar 1) ...

Introduction

The film Last Vegas, directed by Jon Turteltaub, was released in 2013. It stars cinematic heavyweights like Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. Some of these actors, like Kline and Douglas, have faded into general obscurity in recent years, but still have managed to maintain relative clout with their reputations, making this film seem like it was going to be one to remember. Unfortunately, most will probably remember it as one they wish they could forget. The storyline is boring, the jokes are stale, and the material is dull. There are a few redeeming qualities ...

There are several key points to be made in comparing and contrasting the protagonists in Speak and Inexcusable. Perhaps the most fundamental difference can be ascribed to viewpoint, to the relative perspectives of the two protagonists and of the reader. Both stories deal with a highly controversial issue. The crime of rape, which many in our society seek to obscure and trivialize by reducing it to a matter of opinion, is met head-on and addressed compellingly in both books. These two stories raise questions not only about sexual predation, but about the nature of denial and self-delusion and the ...

Chechen Terrorism in Russia

These, as he noted, must be investments geared towards innovation. Enterprise innovation is ...

South Africa in the 20th century had many words to describe it but none were flattering. Words like hate, suffering, anguish, separation, ignorance and apartheid. Apartheid is best described as government institutionalized racism and is Afrikaans for apartness. The South African government disfranchised black voters and non-white citizens. An American example that is similar is the Jim Crow laws in the south While there was wide spread racism in South Africa for several years before that, it was made into law in 1948. It took the resolve of Nelson Mandela to guide the country in a new direction. Nelson ...

In the article “Self-Enforcing Democracy” Adam Przeworski argues that a democracy can only survive if it is self-enforcing. He notes that for a democracy to have any good effects, it needs to enforce itself. For example, those people who are in control of the government must be willing to hold regular, competitive, free and fair elections and all parties must be willing to comply with the results. Przeworski states that all the political forces that may be responsible for the overthrow of a democracy must be maintained at equilibrium at all times. There are certain conditions that have to ...
