Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians. The military-civil relationship in the United States is based on the doctrine about the civilian control over the military. This doctrine states that the control over the strategic plans and decision-making processes which could generally affect the whole nation should be in the hands of the civilian leaders and not the military leaders. It has ...

Abstract

This paper explores how research methodologies can be used to resolve organizational issues. Using Starbucks as the company of focus, this paper discusses the qualities of qualitative and quantitative research and how they can be used for investigation and analysis in an organizational setting. It is hypothesized, for instance, that the decline in Starbucks’ sales as well as the poor performance of some of its stores is due to poor customer service. The concept of customer service, however, is too abstract to measure directly. However, this hypothesis can be determined using qualitative research methods as opposed to the quantitative ...

Abstract

Linear Regression (LR) forecasts the value of a random variable (dependent variable) for a given value of an associated independent variable. The regression equation provides the formula for such a calculation. Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES) forecasts the bases its forecasts on a weighted average of past data, with more weight on the more recent periods. A smoothing factor helps in providing weight. It generally forecasts for the short-term. In the present case, we forecast the sales data for year-2 for ABC Furniture Company using both the methods. For SES, we use two smoothing factors α equal to 0.15 and 0.90 ...

Abstract

The most crucial goal that has been targeted in all research studies in the past few years has been toward prevention of problems. The scientific method is a stringent and proven procedure, which can be used to determine the most probable evidence to back up an environmental phenomenon. The proposition is usually made in a cause-and-effect phenomenon. Such a proposition is known as a ‘hypothesis’. The method used for testing the hypothesis is termed ‘experimentation’. This procedure is comprised of five elementary and significant steps. The most salient aspect that renders the scientific methods most popular is the fact ...

Importance of Confidence intervals

The confidence interval is a set or range of values that a population parameter is likely to fall within (Graham, 2008). It is calculated using the sample statistics and a given confidence level. For instance, a confidence interval of the mean calculated using the sample statistics, gives the lowest and highest possible value of the population mean. The population mean is expected to be within the confidence interval. A point estimate is a single value that approximates a population parameter (Graham, 2008). For instance, a sample mean is point estimate of the population mean, while a sample proportion is ...

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE

Introduction Most nations make policies after they enter serious crisis. There is a general notion that a critical problem requires a critical solution. Thus, nations that came under Nazi or Japanese attack in the eve of the Second World War declared a state of emergency and made sweeping changes to their national policies. These changes had far-reaching impacts on the functioning of the arms of governments and the entire nation had to suspend various activities to implement the policies in response to the crises. However, after World War II, significant events have been considered as turning points in national ...

Definition of the word “culture”.

Say two twins were brought up in different cultural setups: if either of the twins revisited the other, members of the society visited would be able to tell this to be a different person. This is only possible because of the knowledge on culture. The fundamental factor responsible for the existence of culture is that human beings are social creatures. Social scientists, for instance, believe that the social organization of human populations into societies that are governed by norms or unspoken rules is the major distinguishing factor between people and other animals. Human beings can communicate ideas, emotions, preferences, ...

The Solow Model

For long, the concept of economic change has been interesting economists. The reasons why some of the countries are poor while others are rich or even the understanding of why some nations grow faster than others has constantly disturbed the understanding of most economists. The theory of economic growth has been put upfront in explaining the growth indices of different nations. In its place, the theory of economic growth aims at explaining whether poor countries can grow faster than their rich counterparts, catch up with them and close their income gaps, that is converge.

The preliminary title of the proposed research project is “A contrastive study of transitivity and intransitivity in formal and colloquial Arabic and English”. The final title of the research project is not carved in stone and will likely be subject to change, if some nuanced corrections are suggested.

Background

In the languages that are widely spoken in the world today, all verbs can be categorized as transitive, intransitive or ambitransitive. Historically, linguists have understood transitivity as a “transfer of energy from one entity to another” (Hoche, 2009, p. 148). It appears from this definition that transitive verbs presume the transfer ...

There can be a consensus among literary critics about the fact that poetry provides the utmost scope of exudation of literary quintessence and aesthetic appeal on the part of the literary artist. The literary artist has the liberty to use a number of metaphors that is a type of figure of speech in which a kind of expression is used for the purpose of referring to something that is not literally denoted by the expression. A metaphor thus goes on to suggest a similarity between the signifier and the signified in the literary work. Thus, metaphor can very well ...

Sandra K. Fischer’s seminal work, “Hearing Ophelia: Gender and Tragic Discourse in Hamlet” goes on to portray the fact that the play by William Shakespeare goes on to use the female characters as simple buffers to the entire narrative only to the extent that they work to bring out the omnipotence and significance of the male characters in the play. Now, if one delves deep into the narrative of this Shakespearean play, it would become clear that Fischer has correctly pointed out to the innate nature of the narrative to reiterate the patriarchal parameters of the then society ...

In ancient societies, people believed that the hierarchy of human society was based on the divine right of certain people to lead and the divine permission to keep others as lower class members of society. This shamed the parameters of social order until the Age of Enlightenment and Reformation in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The American and French Revolutions laid the foundation for the creation of a system of civil liberties and human rights which required some basic rights to be accorded to all human beings without exception. Human rights is defined as “a set of freedoms guaranteed ...

It needs to be taken into account that literature goes on to reflect the true nature of the society of this world. The stalwart literary artists have for long engaged in portraying the dynamics of the interpersonal relationships in their works, and the theme of domination and its subsequent subversion has come to find commonality in the works of many literary artists of the world. If one closely introspects on some specific works, it would be easier to gauge how the thematic content of domination has been portrayed in the literary texts over the span of the history of ...
