Introduction

Something that is disruptive overturns or changes the traditional way of doing things and in its place introduces an absolutely new way of doing the same old thing. Disruptive technology, therefore, can be described as a technology that displaces an established technology and in the process introduces a new groundbreaking product or service to the market (Rouse, 2014). Disruptive technology disrupts the status quo of the market, changes the way people live and work, and rearranges the pool of values. This inevitably forces other companies to either change the way that they approach their businesses or risk losing market ...

With the present global capitalism, natural resources are under threat as a result of over-commercialization. Communities that guarded the sacredness of nature are also being controlled with the aim of making them extinct (Talbot 281). Over time, governments have gained control of the indigenous populations and their lands to gain commercially (Cosmic Vision News 1). The massive destruction of the environment and exploitation of natural resources through mining, pollution negatively affecting a specific ethnic group way of living constitutes an ...

Drapetomania referred to an alleged disease of the mind that only affected black people. Apparently, upon infection, a black person becomes mad and would often act in an unexplainable manner because his or her brains would not have normal function. For that reason, when slaves ran away, they were mentally sick, and the situation was getting out of hand since the doctors were yet to understand the details of drapetomania. If Caucasians failed to exert their God-given authority over the black population, the latter group would become idle because it is in their nature to be so. In other ...

The trucking industry has felt the direct effects of the ever-changing fuel market much more than any other industry in the United States (EPA, 2014). The rising fuel price has led to key industry players to devise ways of combating the problem. In coming up with ways of cutting the operational costs, the environment should also be put into consideration. ...

Robert Frost, an American poet of the late 19th century was dubbed as one of America’s finest poets. Literally, his poems reflect the serene appreciation of quiet living in the countryside, the simple appreciation over small things and the values of life (Fagan, 33). In this paper, I would like to argue that Robert Frost’s poems reflect individuality, despite the gentle poetic words of his poems. Normally, a reader might perceive Frost as an ‘effeminate; due to the quality of his chosen words. Most poets at the time of war use a much stronger voice in order to express ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ethernet has been termed as the most ubiquitous networking interface in the world. Almost all traffic passes through multiple Ethernet links. The point is that majority of the Ethernet links spend time while idle waiting between packets of data transfer, but consuming power at a near constant rate. In fact, on average, 10% of all IT power is consumed by network devices and network interfaces translating to tens of TeraWatts hour per year. A solution lies in the design of green networks which consume minimal power while idle without losing their functionality. In this research paper, Energy Efficient Ethernet is ...

The relationship between nature, the state and individuals is a complex one; political philosophers have been studying these relationships ever since the dawn of time, with the goal being to determine the best way in which the people relate to nature. Based on the ideas of philosopher John Locke, the state does not have the ability to infringe upon the right of people to determine their own destiny; he believes that mankind’s best state is to bring the best parts of their natural instincts into society, collecting together into a “state of perfect freedom.” Conversely, philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau believed that ...

Introduction

This paper is an endeavor to explain the rights and freedoms of people around the world, as they (such freedoms) cut across the social classes and prejudices. The arguments of the paper are based on the presumption that the concepts of freedom and equality are sometimes being suppressed in some parts of the world including the Middle East, Russia, and Canada (Charlton 18). Such inequalities in the application of freedoms and rights is what makes it hard for the Middle Eastern and Russian people, for instance, to extend greater tolerance and share the same social privileges. That is why ...

As such it has broadened to a philosophy of how organization’s operations should be managed. This Philosophy emphasizes on the avoidance of all forms of waste, maintaining high levels of quality and reliability and on the need of reduced throughput time of resources already transformed.

The US is considered today as a world power, dominant in almost all sectors of being a country which calls for great respect. However, the US had actually been similar with other growing nations as it was also conquered by another nation and it had to fight for its independence. It was also not as active as it is seen today as the US had adopted an isolationist or passive stance over issues overseas in the past that had only changed in the 1890s. History showcases that the US had changed this belief in the 1890s as the Spanish-American Conflict of ...
