Issues Regarding the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment

This law protects the person from incriminating himself to a crime, from possible improper methods to be used by law enforcement either through deceit, coercion or threats (Snitker). By encouraging silence in the face of the need for legal defense, this law wisely leads the accused to seek legal assistance.

Protection to the Criminal Defendant

Self-preservation is a natural right of any person and he may abuse this right by unknowingly withholding cooperation in judicial processes against crime. Excessive protection can be treated with reasonable approaches by law enforcement so that the Fifth will not overly and inappropriately protect defendants.

Introduction

Management is a task that brings together the various aspects of the roles of managers. In particular, the tasks performed by managers in organizations are quite huge because it is essential that a person is courageous enough to deal with the various views and characteristics of people that make up the workforce of the organization (Rice, 2013). Therefore, the analysis of the effects of the management theories on the management roles of managers is a timely analysis that requires adequate time and resources for the investigation of the various aspects of the subject.

Abstract

Computers scientist have been grappling with the challenge of developing cognitive systems. Some of the challenges that have made the creation of such systems include natural language processing and machine learning. However, IBM has been able to produce a system known as Watson that has demonstrated human-like intelligence. The system was able to deal with the challenge of natural language processing by using a parsing process to derive the context of questions. This made IBM Watson have human-like understanding of natural language. The system is also built on active technologies that facilitate adaptation training through data and user changes. ...

Introduction

I have often thought critical thinking is simply my opinion, or generating ideas and opinion through mental exercise, i.e. I can do critical thinking without external help or interaction. Yet, it is so different, because as I searched the literature and in studying in this course, I found that critical thinking involves the individual’s ability to use the mind actively to sense the surrounding environment and realize opportunities and potential hazards by generating innovative ideas (Ruggiero, 2009 as cited in Bruning, 2016). Critical thinking needs knowledge, and knowledge is learned and experienced. Precisely, critical thinking is borne out ...

Elementary School-Aged Obesity

Introduction The topic of the study is about the elementary school-aged children who are identified as obese. The study was a review of the efficacy of school-based intervention and home-based strategies to address the underlying effects and issues in obesity. Furthermore, the study shows that school-based interventions may reduce the BMI score of the elementary school-aged children (between six and eleven years of age), but such approach serve as a short-term intervention. On the other hand, it was stated in the study that in home setting can provide significant strategies that can help in halting obesity among these children. ...

Abstract

Forensic Science has long found important application in a criminal investigation, and its correct usage will enhance its effectiveness in crime detection. The use of forensic science in intelligence has allowed the possibility of crime scene reconstruction, identification of a suspect and the elements therein. Law enforcement has gone a notch higher in crime investigation in the sense that scouring for limited evidence at crime scenes has been made possible long after the perfect crime has taken place. The sole purpose of finding the obscure evidence is to have the criminals responsible brought to book and as a result, ...

I am one of the choir members in my church. I started singing at a very young age. My parents noted the talent in me and encouraged me. They are the ones that motivated to join the church choir. Singing became a hobby for me. I would spend most of my time listening to songs and attempting to compose my own. When more people heard me singing, in choir competitions or in school, my voice moved them. Slowly, many people took an interest in my voice. I began getting invitations to perform in events and concerts. The invitations increased ...

Murray, the current mayor of Seattle, has set up plans for moving the squatters out. This is to be done by providing them with roads and services that are easily accessible to the police and service crews, unlike the plan of the past bulldozers-led sweeps that was not compassionate by displacing the people who were homeless. With the help of Union Mission teams which has made treatment and shelter available, many people have managed to move away from the Jungle. The city staff also say that the shelters have rooms provided by the state and can accommodate everyone. One ...

Introduction

Every fiscal quarter, automated writing algorithms produce thousands of corporate earning articles using little more than structured data. Companies such as Automated Insights and Narrative Science can write articles on almost any domain with clean and well-structured data. The machine-written articles have variability, tone, and style, and at times are difficult to differentiate them from human-written articles. The automated writing algorithms offer scale, speed, and labor-saving cost. However, the effects of the compromise on media organizations are nuance and accuracy. Thousands of machine-written and published articles had to be corrected for some kind of error (Diakopoulos). The errors range ...

Descriptive statistics refer to the numbers that are used in summarizing the descriptive data. In this case, the data refers to the raw information that has been collected in the field. Once the data has been collected, it is important for the user of the information to analyze in order to be able to interpret it and make sense of the information that has been collected. Thus, the first step in any statistic problem is to make sense of the raw information that has been collected. For a decision to be made, evidence has to be prepared in such ...

Psychology

Introduction The use of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing as a statistical tool for research methods in psychology became a center of debate because of the perceived errors, which was associated to the misuse of the method and erroneous conclusion in some of the published scholarly journals. Many scholarly journal publishers particularly those that are specialized in the field social psychology suggests to ban the use of NHST and the Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) acted upon on this call. On the other hand, proponents of NHST argue that the problem is not with the technique, but with the ...

Abstract

Most people find it hard to get the real meaning of an argument and therefore they tend to misinterpret it whenever they come across it. They give different meanings of an argument which might end up confused people. In this paper, the significance of an argument will come out clearly whether it is taking an extreme position and standing our ground or it is a way of convincing our audience by taking the reasonable stance in and sticking to our position. This paper also talks about internet reliability as a source of information and why the information is necessary. ...

Brief Summary

Argument strategies are the ways in which an individual presents his arguments or justifications. Even though some arguments are just mere deduction and generalizations that are based on the daily life experiences, people still need to be tactful while presenting these arguments. Furthermore, there are several argument strategies that people can put into practice while presenting their arguments or justifications. Nonetheless, a clear understanding of these argument strategies is likely to do an individual more good than evil. Individuals with such knowledge are likely to argue more clearly and effectively. Basically, there are four major argument strategies, that is, ...

Introduction

Cost estimation is a crucial step in any project management, with the fact that estimating establishes the foundation of the development cost at varied phases of project development. A cost estimate at a particular phase in a project progress represents an estimation given by the cost engineer or construction manager based on the presented data. The costs involved in constructing a facility are inclusive of the maintenance and operation cost, in addition to the initial capital cost. The capital cost for a construction project includes the expenses ranging from planning and feasibility studies, testing and inspection, construction financing, equipment’ ...

Many scholars have debated the role of women in politics over the ages. The reason for this is that the women’s intellect has been compared with her potential to also trick male leaders into failing in love with her. Throughout the ages women have played both roles. Before Christianity, women have been heavily involved in politics and political theory. It was not until the dark ages, that women took a more backseat role to those aspects of politics that they are just beginning to come back from today. In the books of the Aeneid, Virgil absolutely compares women ...

Abstract

This is a review of a paper called, “Are Humans the Source of Canine Mange? From the journal Parasites and Vectors. I reviewed the paper and determined that the study was both accurate and sound. The paper hypothesized that humans were the main reason for the spread of Sarcoptes scabiei in dogs and other canines. The results indicated that humans were not the main carriers of Sarcoptes scabiei to dogs and other canines and that further studies should be undertaken.

Inferences and Assumptions

Two important aspects of reasoning are the usage of inferences and assumptions. An inference is a conclusion that is drawn (or made) from a combination of many factors. Many inferences -- or conclusions -- are drawn from underlying assumptions. Underlying assumptions are facts that are taken for granted, or presuppositions. If an underlying assumption is invalid or incorrect, then, by necessity, the inferences one makes are skewed, and do not reflect the reality of the matter at hand. Many people -- including myself -- make inferences based on underlying assumptions. It is a normal, healthy aspect of everyday decision-making. However, when one's ...

Introduction

Interdisciplinary perspective is an approach that entails a comprehensive analysis of more than one social or economic discipline. The involved parties exercise the virtues of impartiality by connecting the influence of one discipline to the other. In most cases, interdisciplinary approach are associated with education disciplines where two or more subjects are interlinked to assess how they impact a certain aspect of life. Interdisciplinary approach facilitates the naivety of crossing of the boundaries with an objective to resolve contention between two or more social aspects.

The speaker highlighted the theme of the discussion on system boundaries and the borders that exist ...

Russell begins his analysis of reality by asking the question whether there truly exists knowledge that is in itself so certain that no man could doubt it. This question seems rather simple at first but upon further analysis of the question especially through Russell’s eyes the depth of the question manifests. Russell argues against the concept of direct realism. He argues that everything we see and then perceive is subject to our conceptualization process which is in turn subject to our experiences and point of view. This then begs the question as to whether what we see truly ...

Intensive Reading Program

Reading is an essential component that enables students to develop comprehensive skills in the learning process. A reading program is therefore necessary in achieving this objective. A reading program that I would develop is the intensive reading program (Alderson, 2000). The things I would include in this program are diverse and it would be a guide to the success of the program. This program would include the key ideas and the details of the text, inference, identification of the outline of information and the relationship with the message, phrases or text that connect ideas and lastly would be identification of ...

Six months back, due to transfer of a colleague, a new person joined in my team. The team in which I work comprises of four people and we work very closely and share responsibilities. Due to shared projects and responsibility, we had developed an understanding to assist each other if the work is pending with anyone. However, the transfer of one of the team member and introduction of a new colleague disturbed the dynamics of our team. The day we were introduced to our new team member, I noticed him looking apparently disinterested in initiating conversation. His conversation with us was limited ...

The Long-Term Effects of Parental Alienation on Adult Children:

A Qualitative Research Study Introduction Parental alienation is experienced by children after divorce when one parent uses emotional manipulation to make the child dependent on them and turn the child against the other parent. In 2004, Opperman estimated that 20 million children were victims of parental alienation and predicted that an additional 25 million children will experience parental alienation to some extent (i.e. mild, moderate, or severe) before reaching ...

The Bayesian method, also known as Bayesian method, is an inferential rule that is commonly used whenever an update is required within any probability estimate (Cohen et al. 12-57). The estimates are done on hypotheses whenever additional evidence is in the process of acquisition. This technique is majorly used in statistics and more especially mathematical statistics. In most of the cases involving the usage of Bayesian method requires, that it be derived through statistical methods. The derivation is usually automatic and ensures that the method well in combination with other competing methods that could have otherwise been used. This ...

Induction

Induction The problem facing induction has been a great challenge presented by epistemology to various philosophers, among them David Hume. Since the 18th century, he has raised the induction concern to various philosophers with the aim of finding a solution to the dilemma. Karl Popper, Chalmers among others philosophers played an imperative role in identifying a considerable solution to the induction problem. In philosophy, induction is defined as a form of reasoning that is derived from a particular observation of a phenomenon and draws conclusions from the phenomenon. For instance, it is certain that the sun will rise tomorrow in the morning simply because ...

Since then it gained in importance, till it has reached quite recently the predominant role. While this philosophical movement was in the beginning described as Logical Empiricism, or Neopositivism it is nowadays much more accurately described bas Analytical Philosophy. It conducts language and notion analysis on the basis of logic. Gaining popularity in the last years it has altered and even erased some old concepts of classical philosophy. - Vienna Circle ...

Increase in the use of internet has increased the vulnerabilities of databases for many corporations. Prior to 1970s, much of the research and early work has been in the statistical database security (Thuraisingham 55). The most important accepts in statistical database security involve aggregation and inference (Gollmann 168). Aggregation relates to examining the differences in sensitivity levels of an aggregate computed for a group of values in a database and the sensitivity levels of individual elements. Attackers usually use the differences in sensitivity levels to have access to the sensitive items in the database. When it comes to inference, sensitive information ...

The term corruption in the simplest and most basic sense refers to the abuse or misuse of the available public resources and amenities by few individuals so as to benefit their private needs and urges. It also refers to a state where the people elected in public places, and offices use their powers and privilege to enrich themselves with the public resources. And powers at the expense of the general public or a whole society. At the face value, major corruption scandals would involve instances and cases where the officers in the positions of authority take bribe and solicit other mutual ...

Review of Tamsyn Barton’s book ‘Ancient Astrology’

Ancient Astrology written by Tamyson Barton is a fresh and an objective perspective upon a persuasive yet often overlooked subject of social science. The book has two important theses, one is the premise that astrology, physiognomies, and few other "pseudo-sciences," as are under practice within the various societies where they are largely accepted, have similar claim to the authenticity of these fields as in the case with the other subjects that contemporary Western societies consider to be "scientific." Secondly, it is suggested by the author that the study should be based more on the history of the "sciences"; and that every ...

Issue in Information System Operation Management (ISOM) Database security

Introduction Increase in the use of internet has increased the vulnerabilities of databases for many corporations. Many organizations operate and maintain their brands through ensuring that databases containing client information is well protected. According to Bertino and Sandhu (1), the proliferation of web-based applications increases the risk of exposure of databases. Database security has been a challenge since the beginning of use of databases in the 1970s. Every effort to improve technological advancement has led to an increase in the attacks on databases. Recent cases have been reported of hackers accessing private information from different databases of different ...

The various setbacks to developing and authenticating input distributions are well known in any institutions that deal with risk assessment and analysis. Due to all these, it has been given a considerable attention more recently. There are various strategies of estimating probability distribution from either empirical data or standard approaches, which are limit practical effectiveness especially whenever such data available are limited. Whenever such cases presents themselves, certain mechanisms and strategies are employed. Such include maximum entropy criteria which actually synthesizes distribution from priori constraints. The other mechanism is to employ the use of ‘default’ such include the triangle or ...

Since the beginning of time, people constantly look for ways of justifying their religions. The most basic justification would be the presence of God. For this reason, many religions look for ways of proving that God Exists. Cosmological arguments are those that seek to show either the presence or the absence of God in the universe (Hume, 59). In the cosmological argument, one looks at one factor about the world. Such factors include the fact that the earth has materials that cause others to exist. The cosmological argument has two parts. The first part seeks to proof the existence ...

Critical thinking has often been misinterpreted as a matter of accumulation of information. However, this is not the case because critical thinking entails an individual’s ability to engage in independent, and reflective thinking. There exist a wider array of critical thinking skills, which include interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. As I reflect on my academic life, there are various situations when I have utilized these skills. The comprehensive platform whereby I have utilised these skills is during class discussions. During the class discussion, I have utilized interpretation, analysis, and evaluations skills in synthesizing information brought forward by my ...

Abstract Research methods in social sciences have two basic categories; qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative research involves asking people's opinions in a structured manner in order to produce hard facts and statistics. In contrast, qualitative research is an explanatory research with the main focus being to gain insights into the helps or problems to develop a hypothesis for potential quantitative research (Cohen et al., 2010). Quantitative research is used to quantify defined variables such as opinions and attitudes, and generalizing results from a larger sample. They use measurable data in formulating facts and unearthing research patterns. Qualitative data collection methods take the ...

Introduction

According to my reading, I found that the positive characteristics of personality should be developed through sport training (Parker & Stiehl, 2004).The physical activities such as sports wholly enable the athletes to develop skills, commitment, sports-spirit, strategies, discipline, punctuality and respect in to their personality features. Hence, sports through appropriate strategies comply with the six fundamental aspects of character, which are: respect, trustworthiness, fairness, responsibility, good citizenship and caring (Arizona Sports Summit accord, 1999). Nevertheless, sports cannot necessarily have positive implications on these personality traits, particularly if ‘winning’ is being stressed upon (Barez, 2008). In fact, the ‘emphasis over ...

There are multiple faces and variances of feminism nowadays, differentiating both geographical as well as cultural (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). The western feminism comprises the values of the developed and partly developing countries, whereas the African and Asian feminism comprises the values of these societies, where besides gender, race is another element that defines women and the feminism discourse (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). But in practice things are much more complex than this simply structured formulation of localized feminism. Looking at the Islamic Asian countries, for instance, there can be observed great differences between women’s condition in Turkey or Egypt, ...

How can your mental models about your world both assist and limit your perceptions when you meet a person for the first time? Mental models are assumptions about the world and they influence our way of thinking. Mental models filters information so that the problem solving process succeeds; a process known as selective perception. The assumptions and generalization in our world will either assist or limit an individual perception when meeting a new person. The past experiences and the present knowledge builds up the mental models thus determining how we react to events and the actions we take. Human beings ...
