Introduction

In modern democracies in general and American in particular, the key principles to constitutional democracy is the separation of powers and rule of law. These principles are damaged by the administrative state where much power is vested in unelected government officials or bureaucrats. In a political system with separation of powers like that of the United States of America, the constitution divides policy making powers among the three branches of government. The Congress is charged with the responsibility of making laws, the executive branch is charged with the implementation of the laws formulated by Congress while the judiciary interprets Continue reading...

The Arab Spring occurs as one of the widely discussed topics in history. This can be attributed to the fact that the Arab Spring evolved into a significant global event in history. The Arab Spring can be traced to the beginning of the early twentieth century when revolts to topple over authoritarian regimes in the Middle East became the most adequate solution to dictatorship, which had defied global trends aligned with liberalisation of the populations. Worth noting is the fact that social media played a comprehensive role in enhancing the success of the Arab Spring. Precisely, social media platforms Continue reading...

While motivation is essential to all ages, it is of paramount importance and has become a big issue in secondary education. Motivation plays a crucial part with success in student education and later in adulthood. Parents have the utmost impact on adolescents when it comes to expectations and goals. The lack of parental involvement has become a major issue for many public schools. In order to change how students value their education, parents have to be involved at home, school and set expectations for their children. While there is extensive research on strategies for teachers to use to help Continue reading...

World War II

The aftermath of the global economic crisis was rapidly building contradictions between the imperialist countries that were unevenly developed. There was also a crisis in international relations, especially when Versailles-Washington system collapsed. Now Germany, Italy and Japan wanted to achieve dominance over their competitors, which were Britain, France and the United States of America. Therefore, aggressive foreign policy of fascist states created a military threat to the world. The second group of countries (Allies) sought to maintain their positions, directing their actions against the fascist states, and the Soviet Union, as they were counting on mutual exhaustion of both Continue reading...

Introduction

In a world where the Pandora's Box opened a long time ago, every day new diseases are being discovered. New cases with new (or old) illnesses come up every day in huge numbers before the medical fraternity. While prevention and control measures safeguard the majority of the population from transmittable diseases, developing nations still find it hard to curb transmissible illnesses, thus increasing the incidences of illness or a disease in a household by manifold. In such a scenario, the point to ponder is how the citizens across the world, especially those of developing nations afford to pay for Continue reading...

Use of Common Property to address the Commons Problem

Introduction
The use of common property to address the problem of common people refers to the tragedy of the commons. Most of the work on environment cuts across the pro-regulatory traditional protectionist laws and policies.
According to Acheson, the tragedy of commons does not hold correctly to the future of all the available resources. Private owners instead of the general deserving public use the resources. Acheson reviews several classic examples of managing environmental resources in his essay. There are some institutional regimes, which have been in operation for a long period without degrading the available resources. In addition, Acheson Continue reading...

Because of the over use of domestic fire, smoke mixed with other pollutants caused major pollution on a local level which then after a period became more than a local problem but instead a national problem. As Great Britain grew, and urban setting started cropping up so did air pollution. Most urban settings at the Continue reading...

Question 1

Today, the market’s diversity provides numerous low calorie microwavable food options. In addition, increases in the income of individuals, people have the capacity to live easier lifestyles and this has led to increase in demand for certain products of preference.

The quantity demanded equation of the product is given by;

Qd = -5200 – 42P + 20Px + 5.2I + 0.2A + 2.5M

Therefore, the elasticity of P (partial differentiation)

δQdp = -42 Assuming all other independent variables are constant
Hence elasticity of P = (δQdp). (δPQ )
= -42(P-5200-42P+5.2I+0.2A+2.5M)
For the 3-pack unit = -42(5-5200-425+206+5.25500+0.210,000+2.5(5000))
Therefore = -42 (537810) = -212656 = -0.007906

Solving for Px

ΔQdp = 20(637810)=0.010579

Solving for I

QdI=5.2550037810=0.7564

Solving for A

QdI = 0.2(10,00037810) = 0.0528

Solving for M

QdM = 2.5(500037810) = 0.3306

Question 2

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi Continue reading...

The perception of the majority of people in any society easily denotes what dominant ideologies mean. Each society shares certain beliefs that uphold certain values accepted and indeed practiced by them as revealed by the Omi and Winant racial theory. They argued the race concept was created to justify genocide and inequality that characterized the European or whites’ colonization. Blacks were discriminated and used as slaves, a situation that led them to create a social conscious framework that Europeans were born more superior to them. These dominant versions of the society beliefs proved to be very persuasive especially if Continue reading...

5.0 Methodology
5.1 Research Philosophy
“As suggested by Remenyi et al. (1998), there are several major questions that require significant consideration by researchers such as „How to research?‟ and „What to research?‟ But central to the researcher‟s answers is their perspective on „Why research?‟
This refers to the systematic search for knowledge, existence, and reasoning. It involves an establishment of facts to both new and existing knowledge and behaviour. Research philosophies are aimed at addressing the objectives of a study rather than the research methodology itself. Whatever research philosophy you select, it will begin with certain assumptions. These Continue reading...

Introduction

The bill outlined their intention to bring foreign laborers into the country. This controversial issue is represented again at the front burner for the President and the congress. Unfortunately, Continue reading...
