In the recent weeks, American airwaves have been filled with heated debates over Mr. Donald Sterling’s racial remarks. There have been accusations and counteraccusations, as well as legal battles in different media over Donald’s remarks and the sale of Los Angeles Clippers. In this paper, the main objective is to highlight constituents of good quality journalism and its role in the society. In an attempt to meet this objective, two stories covering the Donald’s saga have been chosen: TMZ.com and New York Times. These stories/articles will be analyzed as I seek to illuminate on what constitutes ...

Globalization may be described as the increased interconnectedness and flows between world regions and cultures. Today, this interconnectedness is apparent in major events. Although globalization is usually associated with positive outcomes, it may have negative ones as well. For example, when disasters happen on the world stage, the interconnectedness and flow between regions accentuates the problem. No disaster depicts this fact clearer than the Prestige tanker disaster. In November 19 2002, The Beaches of Galicia in North-Western Spain were covered in thick sheets of heavy fuel oil known as Crude oil 4 (Gimenez 1). This was part of a twenty-one ...

Troy (2004): Movie Review

Troy: The Myth Behind the Movie Introduction Wolfgang Petersen brought an important historical epic event to the silver screens through the movie entitled Troy in 2004. The movie stars a list of Hollywood’s finest actors to play the role of Greek history’s prominent figures such as Achilles (Brad Pitt), Prince Hector (Eric Bana), Prince Paris (Orlando Bloom), Helen of Troy (Diane Kruger) and a whole lot more. However, the underlying question here is whether or not the events depicted in the movies is really what history told. The movie will be analyzed ...

This ad titled “The Question” is a pro Obama campaign advert (USATODAY, 2012). In it, the logic portrayed is that president Obama has made things better for America and Romney will just make things worse than before. The ad takes broad perspectives from the past when president Obama took power and the present situation. It exemplifies the past by mentioning about the financial collapse during the great depression and in epitomizing the current condition it illustrates workers leaving a channel probably from work or on their way to work. This is meant to demonstrate his policy of creating over 4.6 million ...

Former American President Bill Clinton is credited with significant economic reforms including a reduction in public debt and several budget surpluses during his 8-year presidency (Harris). During the recent Democratic National Convention (DNC), Clinton endorsed President Obama for a second term. He voiced his support for the economic reforms achieved under President Obama arguing that no president could have repaired the economic damages in just four years (The Associated Press). He stressed on economic initiatives that have over the last four years created jobs for Americans and increased the number of Americans in middle class.

Clinton asked Americans to give president ...

The article, appearing in the daily Gulf News on February 24th, 2011, begins by stating that certain sectors, namely finance, insurance and money exchange are lagging behind in their Emiratisation efforts while the banking sector exceeded set targets.

The article continues to reveal that employees and companies in this sector are blaming each other for these dismal figures. Lack of training, ...

According to BBC news (2012), it is important for firms planning the volume and production of oil to know the demands determinant for oil products. It is also important for the consumer to know the available offer of oil products in the market. There are three determinants of demand in the market, mainly the price of oil, balancing or substitutable price for goods and income potential consumers. On the other hand, subsidies, taxes and resources for production of oil are the key determinants of value supply. Besides interest being direction, it is also the magnitude of demand and change ...

In recent years, one of the most exciting new ideas in IT has been cloud computing based on Web 2.0 technologies that foster greater user interaction and sharing. For businesses, this often refers to the process in which they make use or one or ...

Judging from everyday events surrounding each and every one of us, it appears that instead of progressing into more evolved and more civilized beings, humans are regressing into a state of savagery and hate. It does not only happen on television, to the people we do not know and who live miles and miles and away, but it happens in our towns and neighborhoods, even, or maybe especially, in schools. The case of 10-year-old Joanna Ramos, a normal girl attending Willard Elementary School in Long Beach, California, ended up dead at a local hospital, mere several hours after she engaged in a fight ...

People often assume that close relationships are based on good communication. However, this may not always be true. We develop close relations with others due to different factors and only one of them is good communication. Children are friends with those that they go to school with, adults with some coworkers and those are people that we did not choose to go to school with, or to work with. We are close to them because we spend a lot of time together and share similar interests. In order to understand each other we need something more than closeness, we need ...

Computer networks and the internet have radically altered the way we live and conduct business. Integrated information systems based on vast networks make up the center of operation for current business environments and governmental operations. Governments such as the United States and Canada hold sensitive information about its citizens in such computer networks. Businesses rely on networks in order to perform business transactions that use electronic transfer of money in a new business paradigm referred to as E-commerce. However, as these systems are efficient and effective in management, they present the most vulnerable systems to security breaches.

Unlike physical storage ...

Wilson, B., & Sparks, R. E. (1999). Impacts of black athlete media portrayals on Canadian youth. Canadian Journal of Communication, 24(4), 589-589. This article provides an insight on the media effects to the races and most evident the black as athlete by examining the limitations of the current theories about the same. It provides a rationale for using Janice Radway’s concept of ‘interpretive communities’ as a means of giving insight into the influence the media has to the audience and most importantly the youth as far as athletics is concerned. The research involves audience and media-related ethnographies that help ...

Robyn Wright has been considered by some as one of the best journalists covering the Arab world; the opinion is based on her several decades of writing about the region. Kakutani (2011) claims Wright has an intimate knowledge of the region and has the experience to write knowledgably on the subject (para. 5). Wright has traveled throughout the regions of the world where the Islam religion is the most popularly worshipped religion. From 1973 until now she has traveled to most of the fifty seven nations to report on explosive events which she describes as “wars, military coups, revolutions, ...

Television back in the day was the practical choice for many families for entertainment and news. However, many have noticed the somewhat violent content on most television programs today, which causes parents and viewers to raise their concerns. Some believe that these shows can influence children and copy them, making them aggressive and violent. These sentiments are immensely likable, but there are others who claim that these influences can be prevented given that there is supervision when watching these shows. Television shows are not excessively violent as these shows undergo classification for their violent content and deem fit for ...

Kate Chopin’s “Desiree’s Baby” and “The Story of an Hour” are both intelligently written and gripping short stories. They have many similarities such as their settings, protagonists and the presence of literary techniques such as symbolism and foretelling. However, there are also many differences, such as the nature of the marriages that are explored in each. Over all, there are many elements which make each story memorable individually, but it is clear that both are written by the same author. “Desiree’s Baby” is set the mid-nineteenth century United States of America, on two plantations in ...

A U.S. District Court found the Wall-Mart guilty of discrimination and ordered the retailing giant Wall-Mart to pay $275,000 to one of its employee Charles goods, who was wrongfully fired by the company. In a suit filed by Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the judge J. Ronnie Greer also passed several specific instructions for the Wall-Mart. The judge instructed the company to carry out an anti disability discrimination training program to teach its management to be cautious against any such activity in the future and further to submit a report to the EEOC in this regard within six months. D Bruce ...

Mrs. Cross, 65, is a patient in an acute care hospital with a diagnosis of pneumonia. The nurse tells you that Mrs. Cross has a history of schizophrenia. You are assigned to provide AM care for Mrs. Cross. How would you approach Mrs. Cross when you enter her room? How would your knowledge about her mental health problem affect your initial contact with her? When assigned to provide AM care to Mrs. Cross, I would approach her with understanding and compassion. My knowledge about her mental health would not affect our initial contact or the way in which I would ...

Social bias is still prevalent in modern society, despite the educational efforts of government entities to rectify them. For example, in a study of British schools, children were placed in academic tracks more according to their social class than their testing scores (“Social Bias in Setting Pupils” 2007). It seems that one of our skills that should have evolved with the rest of our human traits is an ability to set aside these social biases (Haselton and Funder, 2004), but it still persists, both among conservatives and liberals (Tierney, 2011).

In my personal background, I tend to gravitate toward people ...

1. President Obama advanced several arguments for a part of Palestine territory must be assigned to Israel. To my point of view, Obama’s arguments are weak. He stated that Palestine is considered a homeland of modern European Jews. This is a ridiculous assertion because if it was true, than other nations could claim their “historical homeland”. For example, Germans could claim the part of the Indian territory as they were descended from ancient Aryans who lived in northern India. Also, he argued that Israel needs the territory in order to stop Israeli neighbors threatening with invasions while it has being actively ...

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) is the single most trusted organization in the US for quality nursing practices.

1. A. The target market for breakfast cereals ‘Yum Oats’ does not limited to any age group or gender but it is favorite of health conscious people. We can define the adults of 18 to 35 years old and people who are having sugar and cholesterol related health problems, as main target market. Children and other age group members are secondary target market. In other age group the main focus would be on older people as they are the one who faces maximum problems related with sugar and cholesterol. 1. B. The main objectives of marketing communication and ...

Reflection

Here it is already, the end of a semester that went by faster than usual this year, I think because I found out how much I enjoy writing. I’ve always been a scribbler. Ever since I was a little kid, just ask my Mom, wait, I don’t really want you to ask my mom. I’m just saying that I started writing practically when I was knee high to a grasshopper – and my mother has saved every scrap and journal. Well, except for the ones she doesn’t know about.

The great thing about this semester is that I learned ...

Since the American declaration of independence, the country is founded on the roots of justice and freedom. The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution clarified the rights of the citizens, under the Bill of Rights. These rights give the citizens the freedom of choice. Furthermore, the constitution provides that the federal law cannot deprive the citizens of a given state the rights provided for in the State’s laws. In the light of these provisions, the issue of gay marriage has become hotly debated in line with the law. Pro-gays’ argue that prohibiting the marriages equals of the homosexuals, since ...

Contrary to what most people believe, American men are more prone to skin cancer than women (Voiland, 2008). In fact, according to statistics, more men die due to skin cancer than women every year and there are reasons behind this fact. This paper will identify some of the most common reasons why men are more prone to skin cancer than women using strong evidences from journals and publications synthesized over the internet and from books.

Before trying to compare both sexes’ vulnerability for skin cancer, it may be wise to identify first and know the nature of the said disorder. ...

Brazil is a classic example of the division between rich and poor. Brazil has three states on the Atlantic coast that make a lot of money from producing oil. Those states are Rio de Janeiro, Espirito Santo and Sao Paulo. Brazil has 27 states in all and now only 9 of those are getting royalties from oil. The divide is deep. For example, in 2010 Rio de Janeiro received 2/3 of the total oil royalties. That amounted to about $1.9 billion (Fick and Jeffris, 2011). Inland states with much smaller revenues are lobbying for a share of Brazil’s wealth. With a ...

Hormone mimics are types of chemicals in the environment that mimic the natural hormones in the body. Wagner and Oehlmann (1999) list three pathways xenohormones (foreign hormones) enter the body. When the xenohormones enter the body it is called “xenohormones uptake.” They are (1) breathed in from the air, (2) absorbed from body lotions, perfumes and deodorants, and (3) eaten with food that has been stored in containers or plastic wrap containing the chemicals. Estrogen, androgen and thyroid hormones are “chemical messengers” made by glands (like the thyroid gland and adrenal gland) to regulate different processes in the ...

The poem “A Subaltern’s Love Song” by John Betjeman is a very sweet poem that tells a story. Inside the poem is a mystery about love and who is in charge, the man or the woman. It’s the type of poem that makes a person smile when you read it. The author uses ‘ambiguity’ to make the mystery. The reader isn’t quite sure which meaning some of the words have. For instance I think the “subaltern” (which means “a person holding a subordinate position”) is the young man saying the poem. Although the young woman is the victor in the tennis game ...

E-business is by far the largest growing form of business in the world and this is also obviously true for the UK. Although there is the perception that this is a relatively recent phenomenon, actually e-business has been around for quite a long time, actually since the late 1970’s when Michael Aldrich invented online shopping (1979) although commercial prcatise ac ross the internet was strictly regulated until 1995 when rules began to be relaxed and companies began offering their services through the internet. Initially services offered through e-business focused on sale of books, CDs and other similar equipment but ...

The world is slowly transforming itself into a global village environment. As such information is spreading faster than bush fire from one corner of the world to another. The business environment has gone high tech as more and more business people adopt technological means of transacting. One can carry out a transaction while in the comfort of one’s office with another person in the same position miles away thanks to developments in information technology. It is imperative therefore that business managers acquit themselves with the developments in information technology to aid them in their communication if they are to keep ...

The Tea Party Movement is an American political effort. Generally speaking, it is known to be both conservative and libertarian in nature. As a group, the Tea Partiers believe in the constitution, and strongly oppose the growth in national spending. In some ways, the Tea Party are obtaining the recognition that they are looking for, by way of public stunts and marches. Overall, however, the movement appears to be another attempt at leading a revolution, and is unlikely to succeed.

In his article, The Tea-Party Tradition, Daniel Hannan (2010) contests that the movement is “unaffiliated but conservative, political but sceptical toward ...

Private placement is the sale of a company’s securities to a few, select investors as a means of raising the capital. The investors may include insurance companies, banks, pension funds, and mutual funds. Such a placement does not require registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This work appraises the market performance of a group of companies that announced their intention to sell private placement shares. The market considered herein is the NASDAQ Global Market. For this market, two companies (issuers) are considered -- NeurogesX, Inc. and Solar Capital Ltd. The information herein is current and is sourced from various sites including the ...

Primary data is all about collecting and using data directly from the area of concern using methods such as interviews, surveys and focus groups while secondary data entails using data that is already existent like in journals and newsprints. Secondary data gives details about past areas of interest that were researched on while primary data gives information on the current area of interest to the researcher. Some of the disadvantages of using newspaper and magazine articles as secondary sources are that a person cannot know for sure if the articles represent the views of the writer or whether it represents a ...

This article is discussing the sudden death of a whistle-blower who was recently involved with the release of information that led to a major news media scandal in the UK. This article is designed to raise the question of whether his death should be considered suspicious or not as it follows an on-going series of reports that are constantly being updated as more and more of the scandal is revealed. The article does that by drawing attention to what the deceased went on record as saying to the New York Times, declaring that the scandal runs far deeper than just the ...

Asbestos mining and its usage has been proven to result to premature deaths caused by asbestosis, mesothelioma, and related cancers to those who come close to the mineral (Calvert, 2008). This inference has led to many developed countries restricting, and some eliminating its use. However, Canada continues to support Asbestos mining and exportation as the industry is worth $ 97 million dollars (Mesothelioma Herald, 2010). The move to protect the industry has caused frustration for many occupational safety and health officers globally and at home. Asbestos is exported to developing countries such as India and Mexico who use it to ...

Airlines are companies operating a system of scheduled flights that transports goods and passengers across regions of the world. News reported by various media has shown that airlines encounter various problems as explained in this paper. The first problem encountered is the loss of travelers luggage .This comes as a result of luggage destination misdirection by flight attendants. In cases where the luggage is traced then some of the contents are stolen and replaced by strange paraphernalia that were not originally in the luggage thus adversely affecting the concerned airline reputation (Banstetter 1).

Another problem is computer system breakdowns leading to ...

Introduction

Many illnesses in societies across the world are lifestyle influenced, generally. They could emerge from occupational predispositions, hobby engagements, dietary habits as well as participation in social activities that define religious and spiritual interactive living. Research has shown where blood pressure levels were distinctly related to life style issues within a certain community and culture. (Ejike, et al. 2008). As such, the role of the nurse, as an educator, inevitably, should embrace considerations of lifestyle infringements on health status in relation to health promotion practices. Importantly, health promotion ought to be compatible with sensitive health issues related to ...

On May 2, 2011, the US Navy SEALs performed an operation that led to the assassination of Osama bin Laden. There are photos of his body, but they have not been released to the American public, despite many people’s requests to the contrary. However, there are many good reasons to not release the images. The photos of Osama bin Laden should not be released, due to their gruesome nature, the insensitivity of the act, and the absolute lack of political gain.

The image of Osama bin Laden’s death is too gruesome for the average viewer. According to ...

The cold war is commonly characterised by the splitting up and the subsequent rivalry between the two major nuclear powers which were USA and USSR. The two powers also struggled for the control or loyalty of the decolonized nations – third world nations (Anonymous, 2010). Furthermore, the cold war is increasingly being referred to as an era that began in 1947, when a doctrine by Truman aimed at curtailing the spread of communism and expansion of USSR block (Farber, 1994). The era ends in 1991 when the soviet and eastern union began to disintegrate due to diplomatic, military, and economic pressures ...

The first person we would like to discuss is well known around the world as Deep Throat. Deep Throat is an anonymous person, whose activities have been cloaked in mystery for a long time. The person, who worked under this pseudonym, secretly passed information about the government of the United States to the journalists. It is believed that in 1970s Deep Throat leaked discrediting information about governmental actions to the press. It is suggested that the culmination of Deep Throat’s activity was so called the Watergate scandal. The scandal broke out in 1972 and involved ...

I thought this was a superb piece of writing. Doyle’s description of the hummingbird’s engaging and well-written. In the first paragraph, after the opening sentence, he starts three short sentences with the phrase ‘A hummingbird’s heart is...’ – a technique called anaphora. He then finishes the paragraph with one very long sentence full of vivid verbs – “whirring...zooming...nectaring...hammering.” He uses anaphora at the start of the second paragraph too – “They can...” and the long list of the exotic and mysterious names of different types of hummingbirds adds an element of what is almost poetry to the essay. He then goes ...

The picture of both the British and international media was very narrow as far as the early post world war II, time is concerned, the premier sources of media then were newsprint and magazines etc. as the technologies available today were under developed or were not developed at all, hence there was a huge shift in the role of media both in UK and the entire world once the modern sources like Television, Internet and digital broadcasting services came into play.[ CITATION Bec06 \l 1033 ] It is a very common debate that discusses the role of Media in the various ...

Accounting scandals are business scandals that arise following the uncloaking of financial misdeeds by some trusted personnel in corporations. Some of the misdeeds usually involves some complex methods for embezzling, understating, misdirecting money, overstating the value of assets or in other words, underreporting the available liabilities. This is mostly accomplished in collaboration with workers or affiliate in corporations. In companies with public status, this kind of innovative accounting qualifies to fraud whereby investigations and inquiries are commenced by agencies of the government in place. In United States for instance, some of the government oversight agencies that are eligible to ...

The population for this research will be constituted by employees of ABC TV. These are the employees of the firm working in their various departments in the company. This group was specifically chosen because they regularly engage in data collection, production and broadcasting of information in the form of news, ideas, entertainment and programs. They also report on behalf of the public and hence they are caught between the dilemma of carrying the company’s image to the public and fair reporting. They are thus best suited in providing the information on the proposed study, as they are ...

The freedom of press in the United States of America is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. The aim of this clause was giving the people and the press of America the right to publish information, including confidential documents, that were deemed to impact the country and its people in general. The clause also protects the American press from government interference and censorship with regards to publishing such information. According to Chief Justice Hughes, who presided over the Lovell vs. City of Griffin: ‘The press, in its historic connotation, comprehends every sort of publication which affords a vehicle ...

In the past century, news media has changed from simple newspapers to a vast empire of television networks, magazines, and online content that allows for multiple methods of delivering the same news stories 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People no longer want to just get the big news of the day – there is now enough time to learn celebrity gossip, the latest political scandals, and reviews of what happened on television the previous night. This can tend to dilute the actual media and take away its sense of importance and individuality, as the stories tend to bleed together. Modern ...

In Douglas Rushkoff’s article “Bart Simpson: Prince of Irreverence,” he refers to the FOX sitcom The Simpsons as “the closest thing in America to a national media literacy program.” (Graff et al, p. 241) Within this program, the Simpson family deconstructs memes and cultural landmarks of television at a breakneck pace, holding a lantern up to the way that media works and displaying it for all to see. Due to its irreverence and ability to recognize and lampoon the structure and politics of the media industry, The Simpsons educates its viewers to view media with a more critical eye. In this paper, ...

When news about the Gold Rush in California arrived in Japan, most people did not believe it at first. Only a few curious people travelled to America to find out how accurate the gold discovery was (Isaacs 26). However, within a few months’ time, news came back home with the confirmation, and more people decided to set sail for California. My family and I packed our belongings and formed part of that exodus. When we got to America, we settled along the Sacramento River, in the Northern part of California. Naturally, my husband joined other miners, but the kind of ...

The role of the media is a complex and multifaceted idea that cannot be understood unless it is critically viewed with reference to the various role-of-the-media models dependent on what an individual is seeking. Various models have been formulated to help in analyzing the role of the media with Nordenstreng, Christians, Glasser and Mcquail’s five paradigms model being one of such proven models. To Nordenstren et al, the role of the media can be argued within five paradigms; Liberal-individualistic paradigm, Social responsibility paradigm, Critical Paradigm, Administrative Paradigm and lastly Cultural Negotiation Paradigm (Fourie, 2008).

From Nordenstren et al’s ...

Credit card companies should not be on college campuses marketing to students. Credit card debt is already spiralling out of control in the U.S. and with their parents already embroiled in heavy credit card debt, the credit companies are now keen to capture the next generation of consumers. In the course of this essay, I will discuss why I hold this opinion and attempt to persuade the reader to my view through a presentation of statistics and facts concerning credit card debt and their crippling effects.

Because of the increased scrutiny on the actions of corporations and those who act on behalf of organizations, there has been increased attention placed on the ethical actions within organizations. Many organizations have responded to this increased scrutiny by establishing formal ethics programs to address what are appropriate actions for those working for the company. There are several components of an ethical program; they include code of ethics, code of conduct, statement of values etc. this article will explore an ethical program with a bias on code of ethics.

A code of ethics is the most comprehensive of all ethical ...
