Introduction

Newton's Second Law of motion asserts that the acceleration of an object exhibits a direct proportional relationship with the subsequent force acting on it. It explores the relationship that exists between force, mass and acceleration as exhibited by an object. This experiment examines Newton's Second Law of motion by enabling a dwindling weight to speed up a glider of recognised quantity along a track. A thread that links the dwindling mass to the glider is passed above a smart pulley (Knight, 2004). It is imperative to note that the smart pulley exhibits insignificant inertia, low friction and its revolution ...

Abstract

“Song of Solomon” is the third novel written by Toni Morrison and is a very remarkable and rich piece of fiction.

Significantly, in the novel, the writer employs classical myths, specifically that of Icarus and the ...

The debate over whether or not to spank one’s children has been raging for years. Violence and abuse has gotten out of hand and become unacceptable, almost to a point that it has become intolerable for parents to discipline their children using any form of physical violence. Some believe that it sets a bad example and the abuse may eventually get too out of hand. Many people protest this idea. They believe that, as parents, they should be allowed to raise their children in whatever way they choose, initiating the disciplinary actions they believe to be right for their kids. ...

Rehabilitation of mentally ill in prisons and jails: issues and concerns

The California Department of Corrections (CDC) in 2005 added the term “rehabilitation” as a part of the agency’s official title, becoming the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the CDCR. However, the change in title did not result in a change of philosophy in the treatment of prisoners in the United States. Though the reintegration of the methodology of rehabilitation officially entered the regime of the CDRC, there is little or no evidence that the methodology has significantly changed (Berkeley- University of California, 2009, p. 277). Berkebile (2010, p.1) reported that by 2009, California’s penal facilities ...

A budget is an integral part of any economy. It outlines the financial plans of a country to facilitate economic growth. Most countries, including the United States of America prepare a budget comprising a one fiscal year financial plan.

Market capitalism refers to a market in which things like distribution, investment, and production are influenced by demand and supply forces. As such, the prices of both services and goods can be established in an economy with a price system that is free. Alternatively, it can be defined as an economic system where the industry and the country’s trade are controlled by the private sector without any sort of interference from the state. On the other hand, market socialism is one where methods of production and other economic activities are socially owned or publicly owned such as cooperatives. The essay ...

The Party

Hank Rearden’s wedding anniversary party is one of the most insightful episodes in Atlas Shrugged. Firstly, it shows the reader the glaring contrast between the movers and the parasites, through their opinions on the new Equalization of Opportunity bill. Those who are happy, if not think of it as their right, to feed off other people’s efforts, talk about the necessity for such a law. To them, it is based on a superior moral; equality that is a result of altruism. They are heard saying that owning anything private is evil. When Hank, on the other side of the battle, a ...

Introduction

Data is the building block of any system in the world today. A repository of such related data is called a database. A relational database organizes the data into tables that are related to each other. For example, in a relational database system, there exists one table that contains the data about cars manufactured by a company and the second table contains the information about car parts. These tables are related to each other, because each car is made up of parts, and each car part can be in one or more cars. Haley (1991) defines a table as the principal building ...

Sensationalism

This media strategy is employed by mass media through editorial bias. The topics and events in the news stories are often overhyped with the intention of increasing readership and viewership numbers (Dye, 132). As a media strategy, sensationalism includes reporting on matters that are generally insignificant. Events that do not have any impact in the society are also discussed. In doing this, the journalists offer a biased perspective, presenting the news in a tabloid or trivial manner to get the attention of other people. In most cases, this is against the standards that guide professional journalism. In practice, this has happened in ...

King Lear and the Basilikon Doran

The Basilikon Doron is an ornately significant document for the pivotal role that it plays in exemplifying the Jacobean court and its usage of the local allegory for recounting the royal power and accountability. Furthermore, this discourse is a highly useful recap of the way in which James I viewed his association with his family as well as the people of his kingdom, both of whom are bound to perceive James I as their regal father. The Basilikon Doron is precisely a list of qualities that make an individual a good leader and an ideal king. For an individual to be ...

The effect of minimum wage on employment has been one of the most explored topic in the discipline of labor economics. During the global recession that plagued the world recently, the rate of employment for the low-skilled and young workers (who comprise the largest component of all minimum workers) worsened disproportionately. Traditionally, some economists have argued that the imposition of a minimum wage that is above the market clearing equilibrium wage reduces employment and at the same time contributes to unemployment particularly among the relatively unskilled as well as the young workers. This is quite ironical given that this is ...

Introduction

Comparative analysis is a vital tool in presenting an effective and efficient manner of presentation between any two or more impetuses of an event. It is even more imperative in the sense that subsequent acute analyses can be facilitated and done based on it (Demand media 2014 p.1). Ideally, the presentation of a comparative analysis attempts to bring forth a clear and rather more pronounced distinction that is inherent between two or even more stimuli. Accordingly; a more precise conclusion is more often than not deduced as a culmination of this exercise. Thus; it is in light of the above that this essay ...

Critiquing Quantitative and Qualitative Studies

Several research techniques are available all with the aim of achieving precise data or information or data about something. Quantitative technique, sometimes referred to as true science, involves the use of mathematical and statistical methods in the analysis and drawing useful information from a specific set of data (Davies, 2009).
