Essays on Majority

Introduction

One of the most significant topics of the Middle East history that is considered to be Arab cultural awakening is undoubtedly Arab nationalism. On the one hand, it gathered strength and coherence during and after the First World War. On the other hand, little light is actually shed on that recent phenomenon. A lot of scholars may even get into a mess in defining Arabs, as well as determining what is meant by Arab nationalism. However, taking into consideration the fact that the twenty-first century is characterized by a considerable political activeness, much attention should be paid to Arabs ...

Introduction

The concept of gender specific jobs and roles continue to stall and receive controversial opinions. Historical etymology and practices place men within certain positions different from those of women. The rise and development of intellectual modernity, civilization and constitutional provisions that identify both genders to be equal and capable of performing at similar capacity and platforms have seen a substantial paradigm shift regarding occupational perspectives on gender aspects. Gender issues, differentiated reception on women and treatment within the ambit of social structures where men encompass a majority section in the military sphere and the minority portion in professions like ...

Before the experiment, the seven confederates had decided on which response to adopt when the task is presented. However, the naïve participant is not familiar with this plan and believes that, every other participant is real. In all the criminal trials made by the seven confederates, the naïve participant follows their opinions. If I was a naï ...

Stock Ownership and Capitalism

Introduction In the podcast entitled, Who Makes Cents?: A History of Capitalism, released in June 2014, Julia Ott discusses the issues associated with stock ownership. She does so in the wake of mass workers turnout at a Macdonald shareholders meeting (Ott, 2014). They take advantage of the meeting to voice out their grievances. This is due to the fact that shareholders and stock owners have become more influential in corporations across America.

According to the 2012 census, the United States total population is estimated to be over 313 million; this represents a 9.7% increase within a period of 10 years (Thomas, 2014).

As a result, the diverse U.S. population has serious implications on the United States ...

The principles by James Madison in Federalist # 10 are better placed in accomplishing unity than those suggested by Cato. A large extended republic gives individuals the freedom of movement. As individuals move from one place to another, they interact with people who have different interests and cultures. It is only by such interaction that people understand the cultures and interests of other people and this enhances the establishment of unity. Having an extended republic may not look good in the short-term because of the evident divisions, but it is the answer to unity in the longer term. This is ...

A bicameral parliament is a system of the legislative branch of the government made up of two complimentary houses that work together to pass laws. This system of parliament ensures that both the citizens and the government are adequately represented in the house and that sufficient consultations are made before any bills are passed into laws. In the case of the United States, the Senate embodies the interests of the state whereas the House of Representatives exemplifies the views of the country population as a whole (Moran 1895). The modes of qualification into these houses vary from one nation ...

1. Polyandry relationships provide for marriage system in which a woman can have more than one husband. Speaking from the historical perspective, the emergence of such marital arrangement in Tibet is related to the fact that the social system compelled marriage within a social status category.To understand the Tibetans' practice of polyandry, "it must be realized that Tibetan families consider it of great importance to keep together, without any division, whatever property they possess" (Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, 1962, p. 414). That is the reason why husbands are often brothers or close relatives, which is referred to ...

Introduction

Today, the burden of health care-associated infections (HCAIs) are drawing attention not only from governments and health care regulatory bodies but also from patients and more so from health care practitioners (HCPs) themselves.

Many of the foreigners who came to India were as a result of trade in the 17th century; the traders began conquering territories in India over the years. After the fall of Bengal in the battle of Plassey, the British moved in and divided India through force of arms (Singh, 1984). During World War II, British and other European colonial empires experienced a strain leading to the other European colonial empires relieving the colonial grip on Asia and Africa.

Introduction to the Health Issue

One of the notable health issues that remain relevant in the health system today is childhood obesity affecting children between the ages of 2 and 19 years.

Currently, one out of every five children aged between 6 years and 19 years suffers from obesity (as highlighted in figure 1) (Bariatric Surgery Source, 2016). Obesity results from a situation where the body has excess fat that it is not able to ...

Social Responsibility of Business

Introduction The belief advanced by Milton Friedman connotes that the directors of a business must engage in business actions that bring only profits to the given business shareholders. In reference to notions of business ethics, the executive management of a business corporation must earn profits for the business owners within the rules of the game. Further, about corporate social responsibility, the business management mandate is to conduct business activities in such a way that they do not commit business resources to social responsibility activities, like charity, that have the potential of reducing business profits (Watson and Prevos, 2009).

Brannigan foods was facing a major challenge as the soup industry had been on a continuous decline, with the market share and profitability dwindling in the last three years before 2012.Although the condensed and the ready- to-eat (RTE) soup were a staple in the USA by 2012, the concerns about health and obesity had reduced the consumption of processed foods and products with high sodium contents. The issue of reduction in the consumption of the processed food was particularly pronounced among the baby boomer generation. There was also an increasing demand for the fast, simple meals among the working ...

Foremost, in the views of the Federalists, the only means through which the Constitution could maintain the partition of powers into the executive, legislative, and judiciary departments was through instructions incorporated into the structure of government. Accordingly, as Madison explains in Federalist #51, the Constitution gives each department “a will of its own” by ensuring that factors such as appointments are devoid of the other two’s influence. However, the new government gives more power to the “fountain of authority,” the citizens. By that logic, in the strictest sense, the people reserve the right to select the Head of ...

According to Andersen and Taylor (2008), "through gender socialization, men and women learn the expectations associated with their sex" (305). Speaking from the perspective of my own upbringing, I consider play, clothes, fairy tales, schooling and mass media to be the major socializing agents in my childhood. Obviously, the fundamental source of this process are parents, who encourage children to play with particular toys, choose clothes that they consider to be appropriate for their children, and educate children by means of fairy tales. Speaking within the context of toys, as on the fundamental socializing agents, the first thing that ...

Introduction

No country is expected to exist without the help of another country. Hence, countries usually exchange foreign aids in order to help each other meet their respective challenges. At present, developing countries rely greatly on foreign aids provided by richer countries. One of such developing countries is China. Due to the dynamics of war and politics in China for the past few decades, particularly during and immediately after the Second World War and the Cold War, it is an interesting subject for understanding the distribution of foreign aid during times of war and peace. After, analyzing the distribution of ...

Part 2 I agree with Akers & Chingos (2014) that, “increases in lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increase in debt loads.” According to their research, the average household with student debt has experienced an increase in annual income of $7400 while total debt increased by only eighteen thousand dollars. The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014). The increase in borrower’s income ...

Understanding society, and indeed the world, is a complex task that is unlikely to ever be fully achieved. There are various social theories that work to explain the workings of society, three of which are structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. The structural functional approach works on the idea that society is made up of systems that are beneficial to all concerned. However, there are substantial problems with this theory, as it does not acknowledge that certain structures need to change even if they seem to be working for the majority. Conflict theory asserts that society functions based ...

In the majority of states all crimes are divided into two groups: felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between these two groups is in seriousness of crimes. (Hasselm, 2011) If this is a felony, an accused person can get 1 year in prison, life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty. If it is a misdemeanor, an accused person could be punished by less than 1 year or a year of imprisonment and/or fine. Crimes are not equal in weight. General public considers some of the crimes more severe than others. (Kappeler, 2014) The majority of people considers the ...

In recent years, there has been much discussion among sociologists as to the nature of crime and whether or not it is socially constructed. Generally, crime is an action or behavior that defies criminal law, and the fact that laws vary from place to place and between cultures automatically supports the argument that crime is socially constructed. Some interesting arguments focus on those who have power to make such laws and their motivations for doing so. There is a legal distinction between crime and deviance, in that while deviance goes against social norms, it does not break any actual ...

America was beginning to become a powerful and vital nation in the world in the twentieth century. Power was based on the assumption that Americans felt the abundant life, which was a promise to the world along with the concept and experience of freedom.

In the 1920s, America was beginning to grab attention in the international scene. Europe was fading, while America was appearing as a dominant nation. However, this is not because of the popularity ...

Institutional Racism towards Black Americans

Racism, as several experts describe, has been a way of life, for quite some time in the United States (Nesbit). The rise of the pre-colonial era, and immigrations, slavery and the way people drifted towards different shores in search of power can all be accounted to the present day situation that we face in America. While slavery and apartheid ended long before, what is left over is our own complicated melee of whites, blacks, and Asians, and many more races, in a mixed colorful bouquet, and yet, creating a lot of confusion in the minds of both people and ...

Workers have different feelings towards everything within the workplace. The attitudes of the teenage and student employees, especially in the hospitality sector, are of great ethical importance since they determine how these workers treat the clients, how seriously they take their work, and whether they will steal from the business or not (Rogojan 6).

The major characteristic of the decline stage is that there will be long-run drop in sales due to customer taste changes and increased availability of substitute products (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2016, p.202). This long-run drop in sales would naturally lead to a decrease in revenues. While going through the ...
