Introduction

Maslow calls resilience “ordinary magic.” But in reality, there is nothing magic at all about resilience. Resilience is not even a natural human intact or behavior, it is one that is learned over time and influenced by one’s environment. People are not born naturally resilient. The behavior is an adaptation necessary from their surroundings as they grow and change. Simply, Resilience is a learned behavior.

How has the composition of federal and state and local government spending changed over the past 40 years? What social and economic factors might have contributed to this change in how governments spend their funds? The government has been changing its spending in the last forty years. In 1970’s almost half of federal spending was on defense and around 15% on healthcare and social security. Fast forward, in 2000’s health spending and social security exceeded spending on defense. In 2001 expenditure on defense fell below 20% the total federal budget. Besides, health spending by state and local ...

Addiction can have devastating consequences on families. Many people become so caught up in the whirlwind of hard drugs that they lose touch with reality and begin to forget the person they used to be. They make decisions based on the drugs instead of using common sense, and people tend to get very hurt, and in many cases, they die. People will do anything for money, including committing crimes, and those crimes can end up leading them to jail or other criminal punishment. In Anthony’s Intervention episode, his addiction has a significant affect on all aspects of his ...

Having a meaningful life is something that people have been aiming to do in their lifetime. Everyone wants to bring a meaning in his/ her life. When we refer to meaning, it often talks about the future, or maybe linking the part with the present and the future. Individuals care so much about meaning. This may be attributed to the idea that they want their happiness to last. Happiness is something that is present and fleeting. On the other hand, when someone puts meaning in his life, it extends to the future and seems more stable. Because of this, ...

Scenarios that were described in the case will always have opponents and proponents, because all stakeholders have different moral values and needs. As for me, I would assess what direct and indirect impact three decisions would have on me. If negative consequences, including increased expenses, are more or less reasonable, I will accept stricter policies. In contrast, when expenses are too high and harm both businesses and my interests, I would be against the measures that the government would like to take in order to reduce the terrorist threat and prevent climate change. I think it is important to ...

Amanda Todd was subjected to a series of escalating events beginning with cyber bullying, then escalating to verbal and physical threats, then ultimately a physical assault (Todd, 2012). As a result, the young woman developed symptoms of anxiety and depression, was alienated by and isolated from friends, and endured feelings of guilt and shame. As anyone so young, Amanda lacked the coping skills to manage these issues on her own, but fear and shame kept her from reporting the some of the most severe of the incidents (Todd, 2012). Amanda moved from one school to another, and ultimately moved ...

There are numerous factors that make managers and leaders successful in the business world. One of the most important aspects of business leadership is allowing communication to flow up and down the chain of command; while not every idea is implemented, it is important that employees understand their concerns will be listened to in order to maintain a successful work environment. Leaders, therefore, build a transparent environment and make themselves available to their employees and other high level business people. In addition, business leaders must work on relationship building between other business leaders in order to foster good relationships ...

1. How were the conditions in 1935 and 2013 similar? What did John Maynard Keynes propose to resolve this crisis in his book? Both 1935 and 2013 are two years during which the world’s economy went through economic crises. Specifically, 1935 experienced the Great Depression, while 2013 faced the global financial crisis. The economists of the time predicted that the economy would come out of the depression without the intervention of the government (Kirshner 315). In 1935, unemployment was extremely high. In 1936, Keynes published his book ‘General Theory of Employment, Theory and Interest.’ While other economists suggested ...

Iraq

Introduction The period between 2003 and 2011 is a duration that will remain in the history of Iraq for decades to come. It was a period characterized by unprecedented levels of violence and political disorder whereby there was a strong influence exerted on Iraqi politics by foreign powers. The same period witnessed the American-led military troop invasion of Iraq, in an exercise that overthrew Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath Party governance. The year 2011 marked the end of nearly decade-long fight when the US troops left the country. After the invasion, there were efforts to reconstruct Iraq. However, the ...

The court ruling in the landmark case of Eisel v Board of Education of Montgomery County, 324 Md. 376 (1991) has a significant impact to the counseling profession. The main issue of the case is whether or not the duty of counselors to intervene to prevent the commission of a suicide extends to school counselors as a duty owed to prevent the suicide of Nicole Eisel, who is a 13-year old student of Montgomery County. The antecedent facts of the case involve the manifestation of Nicole’s tendency of committing suicide after she openly told her friends about her ...

The Evolution of Economics, Economic Systems and Politics

The science of economics, starting with Adam Smith –the father of economics, is the total efforts for developing an understanding of the economic behaviors of the humans. The science of economics follows a development path in defining the economics. The first definition of the economics was based on the household management. Members of family specialize in completing some specific tasks. The specialization relies on the genders' traditional functions. This definition was developed by the philosophers in the ancient times before the Dark Age in Europe. Adam Smith developed this definition by creating a theoretical economic system which has the ...

The homosexual community in China faces discrimination and is treated with less respect as compared to the heterosexuals. The older people in China are rigid and refuse to change their negative perceptions towards the homosexuals. The older people perceive homosexuals as being sick and think homosexuals need to seek treatment. The homosexuals experience social stigma and pressure from their families, friends, colleagues, and the community as a whole (Preston 219). The homosexuals, thus, experience problems such as the fear to seek health services due to fear of stigmatization (Feng et al.). The marriage law bill, for the homosexuals, which ...

Legal and Social Response to Forced Marriage

Critical Review Introduction Adhering to one's cultural beliefs is important although some cultural activities are controversial and destructive in the face of the modern civilization. However, paying attention to the complexities of the social constructs and the cultural makeup of a community is essential before placing any critic on the cultural behavior of such a community. Additionally, governments and other organizations should have positive motives when they intervene in communities they deem to have unacceptable cultural behavior. Sometimes, western societies view their ways of life as superior to those of the Third World countries. Some cultural activities such as ...

In Economics, it is common to outline general principles that may be used for explanation of development of economy from local to global level as well as behaviour of different stakeholders like private companies, governments, consumers, etc. These principles are usually categorized in three groups: how people make decisions, how people interact with each other and forces/trends that influence the economy. In this paper, they will be briefly presented in order to understand better how companies should act in order to be competitive and responsive to the market changes. How people make decisions. In the free market economy with ...

Europe's Last Summer by David Fromkin considers the origins of World War from the perspective of the alliances Germany had formed prior to the war and how those alliances affected its entry into the war. It also examines how relatively small events (such as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand) can spiral out of control and lead to a world war. In particular, Fromkin looks in detail at the European crisis that occurred in mid-1914 and pieces together his argument that it was Germany’s alliances and how poorly it handled its diplomatic relations which resulted in the terrible calamity ...

1. The researchers studied how humans act in the case of emergency individually or in a group when they are exposed to the inaction of other people, who also witness the same emergency. Experiments were carried out to test the following hypotheses: Passive reactions of other witnesses, in this case, confederates, to an emergency situation will affect the behavior of an individual; therefore, he will be more unlikely to act than if he were the only witness of this emergency; According to the second hypothesis, if a group of naïve subject witnesses face an emergency situation, two factors ...

In the midst of the Cold War era, both the U.S and U.S.S.R engaged one another in proxy wars in regions throughout the world to further their respective expansionist national agendas while counteracting the geo-political influence of one another. Proxy wars are conflicts contained within third party nations or regions which are instigated by the influence of major geopolitical powers who do not themselves become directly involved in the conflict. Thus, proxy wars are facilitated by major powers to preserve and expand their geopolitical influence through promoting or opposing certain armed factions within a regional conflict which in turn ...

The struggle for independence is not a new topic in Europe as the region’s history depicts a myriad of conflicts that occurred for the sake of independence from monarchies and the desire for self-governance. Throughout the past centuries, larger European empires broke down into smaller states while others merged to their partners or faded entirely. However, even after the Great Wars have ended, there were still factions hoping to separate themselves from their respective countries in the hopes of reestablishing their identities prior to their inclusion to larger countries. Catalonia, for instance, has been actively working on pushing ...

Introduction

Modern global economic system is a considerably distinct from the dogmatic frameworks of political economy (Mankiw, 2014). Professor Blanchard contests that extreme increase in production and substantial automation of the business processes have seriously changed the global economic landscape (2011). In order to stay competitive the companies have to develop and implement new business solutions, as well as they have to stay socially and environmentally responsible (Goldin, 2014). In addition, Gartner wrote that there is an increasingly important need to stay in line with the perpetually evolving customers’ preferences (2006), and the smallest disharmony with their predilections may result ...

Source: (Nash et al. 474)

The selected source is a Thomas Nast creation dubbed The End of Slavery? Currently, the cartoon has no copyrights after its original publication in 1867 in the Harper's Weekly newspaper. The visual primary source depicts two scenes and in both, a woman wearing a tunic sits upon a pedestal surrounded by both black and white characters, she represents American liberty. For a thorough description of the picture, there is a need to focus on the two scenes separately. On the left, there is a slave auction going on as white men stand around the raised platform, and two more ...

Adam Smith views the world as an economy driven by greed. Hypocrisy has dominated human mental institutions. He talks about consumption and production of goods as his main point of reference. He argues that the elite members of the society consume more than the poor whom they divide the little that is available. Contrary to the declaration by the rich as only doing what is good, Smith posits that the whole human race is driven by selfish interest and not the universal goodwill they proclaim (Heilbroner 47). Based on this, the government has a duty to intervene in production ...

“Governments should paly active roles in managing short run instability caused by

Unemployment and inflation problems” Introduction The reverse of the above statement is true, whereby if governments do not play an active role in fighting inflation and unemployment, the adverse effects associated with these two economic eventualities do sometimes dissipate on their own. Therefore, this paper agrees with the above statement, but will also attempt to show that various economic solutions to the short run instability which is associated with unemployment and inflation can sometimes lead to a worsening of the situation at hand, rather than its subsequent improvements (Quiggin, 2012, pg.13).

It is not human nature to run towards trouble, but instead away from it. Human beings possess an innate sense that requires them to bear witness to tragedy, drama, and triumph alike, but does not force them into action. There are exceptions to the rule without a doubt, though these are relatively few and in most cases will inspire others to act. Without those who work against their own nature as human beings however the inactivity and inability to intervene when needed is a very human characteristic. It is easier to stand by and do nothing than it is ...

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency in the United States is steadily increasing at an alarming rate. The age pool of offenders keeps on decreasing even for violent crimes such as homicide and rape. It is unclear on how the society deteriorated in successive decades since the 1970s crack cocaine epidemic. Street gangs took over droves of students into their establishments while promising acceptance. The programs that came to the aid of the criminal justice system were two pronged. The primary program is prevention. This program holds the potential to safeguard schoolchildren who are yet to succumb to the pressures and circumstances around ...

There are four groups of stakeholders: students, customers and WRC; Nike, FLA, and the factories where the products are manufactured; the labor force; and the University of Oregon. The first group would like to make the American companies more socially responsible and some of the stakeholders even want to return the production to the USA. The second group strives for effectiveness of the production and the acceptable working standards. The labor force is interested in the improved working conditions and the wages that are sufficient for living. Finally, the University of Oregon is a hostage of circumstance, because it ...

In 1997, Hong Kong experienced “the Handover.” According to the Basic Law, it became a Special Administrative Region of China with a high autonomy degree in every issue except international and military affairs. However, the misunderstanding of the “one country, two systems” principle and Beijing desire to intervene into Hong Kong policies that became especially crucial last years fueled tensions between Hong Kong and China. The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the issue of Hong Kong-China relations through the theoretical framework of pluralism. For a start, it is necessary to give a brief overview of ...

The interview is about critical incident crisis management among children.

Based on the response political leaders had to Hurricane Katrina, it appears there is a link between inefficiency and ethical behavior. For example, it is ethical to be equally prepared for any natural disaster, regardless of the location or population that the natural disaster might impact. However, Hurricane Katrine primarily impacted African American individuals who were impoverished. Moreover, it was cited many times that most of the deaths and struggles occurring during Hurricane Katrina could have been avoided had dams been repaired when city council members requested government stipends, and recommended it be done. Though this would not have ...

Do we have a duty to intervene in conflicts around the world? Why or why not? Use Kant/vices to answer this question. Kant argues that human being has the capability of knowing what it right as well as the capability of willing to do it (Kant 149). Conflict around the world is not a good thing; however, intervening to stop is a good deed. As such, as a human being, we feel the urge to do what is right, which is to stop it. Additionally, stopping the conflict does not yield pleasure to the person doing it; nonetheless, they ...

Education is a public good because it comprises of several features of public good. But, it is not a perfect public good. It is a public good because it ensures productivity in terms of human capital accumulation, and also ensures economic growth.

This can be considered from the fact that with the increase in education productivity, which may pave the way to creation of externality when educated workers fail to ...

Would Pharma Corporation be eligible to be an S Corporation? If one of the shareholders objected, would the other two do a vote to become an S corporation without the third? Legally speaking, Pharma Corporation can become whatever type of corporation it wants to be.

This means that Pharma can become an S Corporation. The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defines S Corporations as “ ...

Is It Appropriate for Humans to Intervene in Nature with Animals?

Nature was created and functions according to its unique laws and regularities. Although scientists claim that they have already revealed many of them, they admit that there is much more to understand and discover. Many of us wonder why there is cruelty in nature and how could God let it happen. But in fact, we should just change our attitude to this, as if we don’t understand something or disapprove of it, it doesn’t mean that it is wrong, or shouldn’t be this way. Only those for whom nature was created and by ...

Obesity is becoming an epidemic in America, with more than 30 per cent childhood diabetes cases today are of Type 2, a condition that is as a result of poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle (Zinczenko 154).

However, it should be the responsibility of the individual to regulate their diet intake. Given that the current statistics regarding cases of Obesity in America, self-regulation of diet is ...

Abstract

Currently, it has been assumed that with the declining prevalence of racism and seemingly reduced rate of bullying in the neighborhood, schools in the United States of America are no longer affected by the negative vices of bullying, whether based on the race, gender or otherwise. In this regard, it is further assumed that the counselors within the schools have the ability to eliminate bullying within the schools. However, there is a very great difference between the reality and the assumptions taken so far. In addition, there are several reports on studies that have been developed with an aim of ...

Manifesto:

The constitution amendments in the Arab countries in order to provide less powers for presidents and reduce their ruling span to ensure fair running of the countries resources.
