The article “An idea Whose Time Has Come” questions the validity of many of the mass media information fed to individuals on a daily basis and challenges the authority of rules, demonstrating that nowadays, ...

It has always been the desire of independent nations to act as such: making their own decisions in accordance to their national interest and sovereignty. It is true that nationalism in this regard condones any form of external intervention and manipulation, especially if these actions can directly influence a nation’s political wellbeing. Such is the case between Cuba and the United States, whereby the history between these two nations during the past century is tainted with controversies concerning not only economic and military policies, but more so about displacing a duly-sworn leader who is deemed as perilous by ...

With the advent of computer use by all and sundry, criminal minded people have also ventured into what is termed as cyber crime, which has as many ramifications as there are categories of crime.

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...

“Good Country People”, the 1955 short story written by Flannery O’Connor, delves on the lives of Mrs. Hopewell and her daughter, Joy or Hulga, their maidservant Mrs. Freeman, and the Bible salesman, Manley Pointer. What is especially observable in this story is the use of irony and conflict to convey O’Connor’s thematic appeals, which center on deception, rebellion and sexual manipulation. As such, despite of Hulga’s high educational background she still seems naïve to life’s harsh realities, in that Manley is able to deceive her using his manly charms to eventually steal Hulga’ ...

Michael Foucault once said that “visibility is a trap”, which describes the best how panopticon works (Milchman and Rosenberg 18). While Jeremy Bertham’s idea of Panopticon initially concerned only the layout of a prison, the metaphor of his concept shed the light to the methods of power and control in the society. Back in 18th century Bertham proposed to replace physical abuse and torture of inmates by an innovative layout of prison that would allow one watchman to observe all prisoners, which may or may not know that they are observed (Semple 38). Further on, Foucault developed the ...

Post 1

The post brings up an important topic of the effect of misinformation on eyewitness memory. Most importantly, the importance of the topic was highlighted when you mentioned that ‘it causes jeopardy in the court room’. A false memory is not simply a mistake or a lie, but rather a corruption of one’s personality and one becomes a victim of a memory that did not happen. There is a tendency for eyewitness memory to be influenced by misleading post-event information. This is because memory distortion after exposure to misinformation makes a lie become a memory truth (Dodd, 2014). However, ...

Introduction

Mark to market, also called fair value accounting, has been one of the most controversial accounting methodologies in financial reporting. Mark to market refers to an accounting process in which the reporting entities report the value of assets and liabilities as per the current market value as opposed to the book price thus making the methodology highly subjective (Association of American Bankers, 2016: Serakibi, n.d.). Therefore, since the reported value is pegged on the prevailing market value, it follows that the value of the financial statement would change as the market changes. In most cases, the change in value ...

Quasi-experiments are research designs that attempt to mimic an experimental design. However, the researcher cannot control the assignment of study participants to groups: a key feature for true experiments (Wadsworth, n.d.). This paper explores quasi-experiments as a research design.

Part 1

Advantages of Quasi-experiments Firstly, quasi-experiments, as the name suggests, are not true experiments. They contain elements of both a true experimental and correlational research (Jackson, 2012). Therefore, they allow the researcher to obtain stronger conclusion compared to when they conduct a pure correlational research. Secondly, quasi-experiments are useful in circumstances when conducting a true experiment is either infeasible or very ...

Chiaroscuro is important in artistic photography. Chiaroscuro heightens the dramatic presentation of the lone subjects in painting; thereby putting the audience attention on the central icon of the photograph. Originally, chiaroscuro was a technique used in the Renaissance period and even today to create the illusion of three-dimensional perspective and volume; by the Baroque period in the 17th centuries, the level of chiaroscuro emerged as one of the components of artistic presentation enabling images to mimic the real world setting. In photography, the discourse regarding to chiaroscuro has been left out; yet, it has been ubiquitously used by many ...

Introduction

The exchange rate has become an integral component of modern economics. Its role stems from its far-reaching effects on the economy of a country, investments, the profitability of firms, and personal finances. Countries have become even more interdependent due to the rapid advancement in communication technologies and the expansion of global trade, which have significantly reduced the geographical distance between both individuals and countries. However, since nations use a broad range of domestic currencies with different values, trading partners must, therefore, rely on currency conversion methods to facilitate global transactions. This paper explores the importance of exchange rate and ...
