The Electoral College is an integral part of the current election process of the United States. Created during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the establishment of Electors and electors was developed through debate of the Virginia Plan, which proposed that Congress should elect the president. However, concerns of the president being controlled by Congress and fears over a small group of individuals being able to dictate who would hold office presented the need to change the plan. For this reason, the Electoral College, which attempts to proportionately divide state votes among delegates. While it has been contested that the ...

Introduction

Time was, revenue-obsessed executives and owners used to disregard the social and ethical components to their business. There has come a time when business has become the environment- and society-centric.

Aspects that Provide for Legitimacy of Federal Laws and Regulations in America

Federal regulations and laws in America apply throughout the country, including individual states that build up America’s entirety. The existence of the regulations, however, owe to various aspects within the country that govern and limit their application. Generally, the American Congress ensures the passing of regulations and laws that govern the country, and additionally authorizes various federal agencies to create and enforce the regulations (Bumgarner, 2006, p. 4). The Administrative Procedure Act, for instance, governs administrative agencies’ proposal and establishment of laws. In addition, the Housekeeping Act, the Congressional Review Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and the Regulatory ...

International Law and Global Inequality

There are three distinct legal directions in the international law and they are: Public International Law that involves the relationship between sovereign nations and international legal entities as the International Court; Private International Law which deals with questions when jurisdictions are in conflict and Supranational Law like treaties, conventions, etc., that the states adopt in a voluntary and collective way. Logically, three more questions are outlined as: is the International law a real law like the national laws; where ...

I. Introduction Since the formation of the state of Kosovo, there have been disputes about the legitimacy of the state—some do not recognize the international legitimacy of this state to the current day. Kosovo faces a number of issues that are inherited from its long history of conflict; one of the key problems faced by the country and the future leadership of the country is the problem of security. Because of the conflicted nature of the territory, Kosovo faces significant internal and external pressures (Alexander 14-19; Shaw and Štiks 91). The entire region is war-torn, and this conflict ...

Scores on assessments of learners' scholarly accomplishment are presently mostly utilized as a part of educational responsibility frameworks. This utilization ordinarily lays on two suppositions. First, the learners' scores are a sensible evaluation of educational quality, and thus giving the educators responsibility for them will give proper motivations to enhance the execution of instructors and the school operations. The utilization of government standardized testing is bolstered by two essential suppositions – first, state-administered assessments are outlined impartially, without inclination and second, state-administered assessments precisely evaluate a learner's scholarly information. These presumptions have persuaded school authorities, to utilize test information, as ...

Introduction

Psychology

Purpose The PCL-R is utilized for diagnosing psychopathy as a part of people for clinical, lawful or exploration purposes. Grown in the mid-1990s, the test was initially intended to recognize the level of an individual's psychopathic inclinations. Since sociopaths, then again, are frequently rehash guilty parties who carry out rapes or other brutal law violations over and over, the PCL-R is currently discovering use in the court and organizations as a pointer of the potential danger postured by subjects or detainees. The aftereffects of the examination have been utilized as a part of measurable settings as a variable in ...

Introduction

The Falkland War of 1982 was an undeclared war between the United Kingdom and Argentina and lasted for about ten weeks. The main reason for the fighting was because of two islands under British control that the Argentines insisted were supposed to be theirs since they were located only 300 miles from their coast (Ashton, 2018, 1). These islands were South Sandwich and the Falkland Islands. In response to the above prompt, the essay will look at the war in detail, both from the military perspective and diplomatically, to uncover why the war broke out and the liability that ...

The callous opinions of unmoved minds regarding the value, or legitimacy, of Affirmative Action policies in the country today have always been controversial. While a most imperative requirement to sufficiently examine such an issue demands a strong evaluation of the historical conditions that brought affirmative action to bear in the first place, this research paper must remain within the confines of time and length constraints. How has affirmative action changed since the 1960s? Of course, the short answer might be that its policies are no longer exclusively applied to black ...

In the views of Jefferson it is “the consent of the governed” that provide the government the power to govern and to enact laws and to perform other administrative activities to ensure the basic rights of the people.

Based on the concept of legitimization, what makes organizations such as Wal-Mart and McDonald’s legitimate?

Wal-Mart and McDonalds are among the big organizations which have gone greater heights in putting their employees on public assistance. McDonalds has McResource line that advocates that the full time employees sign up for food stamps and welfare. Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private sector employer has the largest group of Medicaid recipients. The general argument is that these organizations are bigger, richer and hence less deserving of taxpayer subsidies. However, both McDonalds and Wal-Mart are engaging in perfectly legal behavior. Though seemingly taking advantage of the taxpayer, they are operating within the law. They draw their legitimacy through ...

Introduction

Recruitment and selection is a difficult process, as it involves various elements to judge the right candidate for the organization. However, today, there are several ways of judging the candidate for a given organization. There are written tests, group discussions, providing tasks, making them solve problems in groups, and finally, conducting personal interviews. The Human Resource Management tries to evaluate the competencies and skills of an individual from several perspectives (Strasak et al., 2007). We would like to judge the candidates on the basis of their behaviors, attitudes, knowledge, and skill-set demonstrated in the group discussions and personal interviews.

Globalization is a contemporary phenomenon that elicits controversy in the academic and political arena. It grows from the collapse of state socialism, the cultural ideology of consumerism and the consolidation of capitalism. This combined with the electronic revolution has changed communication media (Movius, 2010, Pg. 3). Mass media is the traditional source of most global information. However, the emergence of cultural globalization changes the traditional flow of information from one source to include the growth of transcontinental flows of information on a larger scale and at a faster rate. The role of the media in this new age communication is ...

In The Hindu article "Egypt disqualifies 10 from presidential race," the Associated Press attempts to provide as objective a view as possible of the disqualification of Muslim Brotherhood and liberal presidential candidates from the upcoming Egyptian elections. In the wake of Mubarak's ousting, it is necessary to get both sides of the story, so the article notes both that the ousting of extremist views is much like the totalitarian regime that preceded this election, and that some are thankful that more extremist views have been eliminated from the election. (AP, 2012).

Egypt Independent's article, "What's 'left' in the presidential ...

Question 1

The advancement of the society and the effects of globalization have created increased differences in terms of economic backgrounds, religions, cultures, lifestyles, and political views among other differences. The idea of diversity is always associated with balancing gender, class, national, or racial representation. The mention of diversity always generates thoughts and opinions related to representation of the above identity groups. This aspect has made it crucial and necessary for companies to embrace the idea of accepting and acknowledging such differences within the workplace.

Question 2

Over the years, companies performed poorly because of misunderstandings, disrespect, or mistreatment incidents because of the ...

Marston, Jerrilyn Greene. King and Congress. The Transfer of Political Legitimacy, 1774-1776. Princeton Legacy Library, 2014.

This book describes the history of the Continental Congress in the light of its being in the forefront of the struggle of America with the Great Britain. It is valuable for the research, because it provides a new perspective on the history of the Congress.

Advanced quantitative methods in psychology are such methods that require the use of statistical methods for the measurements of the various psychological attributes of individuals. With these statistical measures, the analysis of human behaviour is done. These methods lay more emphasis on varying numerical analysis of data. It will be done through surveys, questionnaires or polls. It focuses on generalising data obtained from large groups of people. The data collected through quantitative methods are relatively structured. They are more inclined towards convergent thinking rather than divergent thinking. They represent the larger proportions of the population. Such methods have high ...

Introduction

Colonialism is a domination practise where people or nations are economically and politically subjugated. In the western tradition, colonialism legitimacy remains one of the longstanding concern especially to moral philosophers as well as the politicians. Colonial expansion was on only a preserve of genuine colonial powers for instance Spain and England only since the transfer process has shown that even other colonisers who came in late, for instance Germany also took part in this process of political expansion. The process is known to be one of the historical one where Europe shaped the history of the world decisively as well as ...

Institutional theory refers to the universally accepted posture that emphasizes on rational myths, legitimacy and isomorphism. It consists of policy making that concerns itself with the formal and legal structures of government. It is concerned with the resilient aspects of social structure and the manner in which such structures become authoritative guidelines for social behavior in institutions. In effect, institutional theory may be useful in explaining the stability of institutional realities that is sometimes occasioned in institutions. It is the case that for organizations to survive, they must conform to the beliefs and rules of systems that are subsisting ...

The submission shall answer both questions consecutively in the ensuing discussion.

The IRA, Hamas and various protest movements in the Arab world may have nuances that easily qualify them as freedom fighters. However, by the nature of the aggression and attacks they engage in, the organizations and their members squarely fall within ...

Kraska, P. (2006). Criminal justice theory: Toward legitimacy and an infrastructure. Justice Quarterly, 23 (2), 168-185.

The article offers great and valuable information regarding the criminal justice theories that play a leading role in promoting justice in several criminal systems around the world. The source deals with the criminal justice theory, which deals with crime rates and crime. The article points out the fact that pursuing criminal justice is in some cases implicitly, and tacitly, referred to the narrow responsibility of descriptive and evaluative scholarship.

The overall goal of a democratic government is to ensure that the greatest number of people within said democracy are represented - that their desires and needs are met to their satisfaction. As such, the idea of a 'majority rule' is thought to be the defining component of the concept of a democracy1. According to Follesdal, "The contractualist case for majoritarian mechanisms in general is that such mechanisms secure the relevant interests of affected parties from standard harms to an acceptable extent"2. However, does the concept of 'majority rule' really function to serve the best interests in a democratic ...

In the Economist debate over the presence and legitimacy of the ‘global elite,’ Jamie Whyte and Daniel Ben-Ami argued both for and against, respectively, the right of the global elite to have the majority of wealth in the world. They also discussed whether or not they subjectively ‘deserved’ to be there, and whether their status on the top was beneficial for the whole of humanity – whether they ‘served the masses’. Jamie Whyte argued for the legitimacy of the elite, as they are providing services and purposes that are proportional in importance to their income ...

Introduction The Enron collapse, occurred in October 2001, consequently caused the bankruptcy of the whole Enron Corporation, the world’s leading energy, commodities and services company, as well as the dissolution of Arthur Andersen, which was one of the top five largest audit and accountancy firms in the world.

As he makes the transition from Austin to Washington D.C. what are some of things that he should be aware of? Specifically, how is the structure of the Texas Legislature similar or different from the U.S. House? Also, how would you inform him about how Congress has changed over time. Finally, how would you suggest he develop his Home Style?” John Marshall became the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme court for thirty years. ...

Introduction

One among the accepted reality in international relations is the prevailing recognition of the idea that terrorism is the weapon of the weak. This is further reinforced by the shocking turn of events on September 11, 2001 where a group of terrorist coordinated a series of bombing in the United States. However, many political analysts argued that terrorism is not solely associated as resort taken by the weak to get their messages across, rather, it also a means by which the strong impose their will on the former. While this may not be generally accepted, defining terrorism would shed light to the fact ...

Virgil’s Aeneid is a literary epic and the national story of the Roman Empire. The story is an attempt to link the history of the Roman Empire, and its emperor Augustus Caesar, to the ancient wanderings of the Trojan people to its establishment. By doing so, Virgil hoped to not only create a common national identity of his country’s people, but to link this identity to historical symbols that people would recognize, in an effort to legitimize the Caesar and his empire. By doing so, Virgil creates a story on a grand scale that encompasses not only the history of his ...

Abstract

Much as mobile payments are comfortable to carry out, there is the danger of money being stolen by cyber thieves. Criminals use plenty of malware tools like Heartbleed bug or Trojan viruses to gain access to sensitive information for further manipulation.

Analysis

As noted in the introduction, the author of this report is not trying to sway anyone’s minds when it comes to whether global warming exists or not. Based on the totality of what is coming out in the press and the science community, the planet probably is warming and humans are probably at least a small (if not a major) factor in all of the above. However, some of the talking heads, “scientists”, politicians and other people in the global warming/climate paradigm are acting extremely suspiciously and/or in an obtuse or irresponsible way. The author of this report is happy ...

Question 1

One of the causes of lack of effective management is that my age is an issue to some of the members of the management team. Additionally, they feel that I do not have the experience that is required for such a position. Additionally, they feel that they have already developed a comfortable working and communication relationship with their line managers, which makes them handle their duties well since they feel that their issues are directly heard at the headquarters. They seem to think that reporting through me may be inefficient and that their issues that they raise may be neglected. Furthermore, ...

Theoretical Explanations of Two Prominent Pre-Industrial Civilizations: The Mayan Civilization and the Roman Empire from the Lens of Joseph Tainter and Arnold Toynbee

Introduction

Civilizations have characterized much of human history and have laid the groundwork for several innovations on human organization. As humans have learned to congregate in societies, they have developed their respective ways of living based on their understanding on the natural and social environment enveloping them within a given geographical area. Human organization inevitably comes into play, in which positions of authority are recognized and tasked to maintain and improve the political, economic and religious affairs of ...

Previously businesses were more concerned with the economic outcome, of the business decisions. However, in today's world business take time to also reflect on legal, ethics and morality issues with regard of the social consequences of decisions they make.

- For Locke:John Locke, Second Treatise on Government, 1689 In the “second treatise of government”, Locke advocates that governments are formed through mutual agreement. He is of the view that those who are given the mandate to govern must do so without violating the fundamental rights and freedoms of the people. He opines that people acquire the rights to property, life, and liberty upon birth. Locke’s contention is that governments are supposed to protect the foregoing rights for the benefit of the citizens. Accordingly, he observes that the power to make laws is a preserve of the people. ...

Most of this heat energy is trapped within the atmosphere by the GHG while some of them are let out into the space. The phenomenon of atmospheric heating due to the GHG is called as the greenhouse effect. Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases form the greenhouse gases. Burning of fossil fuels, manufacturing processes, decay of organic matter, agricultural industries and emission of synthetic fluorinated gases from various ...

The software industry is an information intensive industry, whose output consists of well coded instructions that guide in the operations of gadgets like phones, smart machines, computers, and tablets. The inputs and outputs of this trade consist of intangibles, the prices of which contain substantial Schumpeterian payments.

The current software industry is consequently an extreme sample of an industry where the revenues to innovators investments, and in other cases ...

In a world where most people will only be interested in those things that satisfy their selfish whims, it is unlikely that one would passionate about the general happiness of others in the society. The concept of happiness is an emotional state of wellness that is manifest by the exuberance of pleasant emotions that emanates from a feeling of contentment and joy. However, this definition at best does not capture all the multi-facets of happiness as it may be construed by different persons. Disparities in meaning and construction have been raised by commentators who confine happiness to the hedonistic tradition of ...

No man is an island. This quote serves as a reminder that we do not live in isolation. As stated by Aristotle, human beings are social animals who need daily social interaction with other members of the community and that to be self-sufficient and not partake in the society is distinctive of either a beast or a god. Because of this frequent interplay among members of the society, creating laws and empowering legal authorities became a necessity in order to establish order. These laws are meant to impose control and limitations over what individuals can do to avoid interfering with the rights of ...

Introduction

Myth, particularly in the Greek tradition, places a great significance on place and location – cities such as Thebes, Athens and Crete are given almost mythical importance of their own through their roles in the characters’ journeys. In the case of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, Thebes is both the setting and the goal of the story – Oedipus’ loyalty to Thebes, a suffering city, provides a complex goal and metaphor for Oedipus’ own journey to the truth of his own existence and past with King Laius. Thebes is just as much of a character in Oedipus Rex as Oedipus himself or any other figure, solidifying place’ ...

The political upheavals that shook much of the Arab World when the Arab Spring first broke out in 2010 introduced the region to a political trend that has swept much of the world during the 20th century – democratization. Although the Arab World is, in many ways, a “late-bloomer” in terms of adopting democratic virtues, the fact that several people from Arab nations have expressed their dissent through manifestations distinct to the globalized world shows how globalization has opened the eyes of the people against authoritarian regimes (Smith &Gaviria, 2013). The mass demonstrations that toppled long-standing authoritarian figures in nations such as ...

Introduction.

The future of human-kind depends on state’s capacities rights. If this argument is anything to go by then states must focus on the contributions of the corporate businesses and private sectors, and how such interface with public expectations and values.

For the last few years corporations operating both domestically and internationally shield their profits from taxation troubling tax payers and governments alike. There has, however, been a limited effort to associate such tax evasion to corporate responsibility in ...
