Problem Statement

The use of mobile phones during the time of work has affected the attention of supermarket attendants. Ideally, the prevailing state of social media and interactions enabled by mobile devices can distract these employees from relaying competitive services to clients (Charoensukmongkol, 2015). For the last one week, clients complained that they were not satisfied by the way attendants handled them when making inquiries. Furthermore, the CCTV cameras show that most of the attendants serving in the Nakumatt branch have been using their phones often and paying little attention to the clients during shopping. In this respect, it would be ...

Analysis of the President’s Obamas Iowa Victory Speech

President Obama’s Iowa Caucus victory speech was an inductive argument predisposed on a given number of premises. These premises held the note of his speech and kept the public into a belief that his premise would be fulfilled upon assumption of Presidency in the USA. In as much as this speech was anchored on giving gratitude to the Iowa delegates and citizens for overwhelmingly endorsing his candidature as a Democratic presidential torchbearer, it was deeply entrenched on the following premises:

Abolition of tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs of overseas, and instigate a middle-class tax cut, ...

Source: Law Office of Shawn M. George <http://www.smgapc.com/practice-areas/california-three-strikes-law/ Every generation in the United States has seen new tactics designed to continue the oppression of racial minorities, abjuring the rights the Founding Fathers deemed necessary and irrevocable for all people in the nation. Many African Americans were denied their right to participate in the growth of the new nation. Centuries later, the United States is still far from being called a true “egalitarian society.” Racial segregation and bigotry have been evinced in a number of forms; over the years, these forms have changed and evolved but the ...

Philosophy and Logic

The nature of philosophy as, as Socrates put it, a metaphorical gadfly demonstrates the relationship that the discipline has with other academic and intellectual pursuits. The idea that Socrates was attempting to express is in consideration of the role of philosophy in the sciences and the philosopher in society (Plato 2016). This role, for Socrates went well beyond simple academic pursuits, but rather, extended into all aspects of life. In this sense, it is important to consider this metaphor in relation to the conception that Socrates had of the implications of rational thought and the mind's pursuit of knowledge. ...

Plato wrote Apology that covers the trial of Socrates and his oratory defense of his position. Socrates calls himself gadfly, as his full intention was not to prove himself “innocent,” but to file a set of questions to stimulate action in terms of how one ought to think about issues, and what the oratory and written outcomes would be. This deals in particular with how philosophy was developed. Gadfly questions issues and matters to the point of ensuring an outcome of examined arguments, premises and conclusions. The idea is to question those things that can lead to a constructive ...

Philosophy of Religion

In the light of Jeffrey Brodd’s eye-opening study Invitation to World Religions (2012) the question of the content and premise of religion comes up for discussion. At the very outset the author explores how religion sprang from myth in many cultures of the world, and in Chapters 2 and 3he speaks of the native American and African religions in particular. Then he goes on to discuss the sway of religion in postmodern society under the impact of globalization and multiculturism (Brodd xiii). The very perusal of the table of contents would point to religion being a characteristic of ...

Socrates was, and still is, considered to be one of the most profound contributors to human philosophy that has ever lived. In the end, he was, if anything, a bit progressive for his time. This was reflected in the fact that he introduced many new thoughts and ideologies that ran counter to culture at the time. As such, he was eventually arrested, placed on trial, and set for execution. With many supporters around the region, Socrates likely could have gotten free somehow. This could have perhaps took place via an escape, but he chose no such way out. As ...

There are many books on the American prison system. Nearly all of these cite the negative aspects of the American prison system, including the safety of the staff from the prisoners, the treatment of prisoners, etc. However, some literatures also point out the advantages the prison system can have on the imprisoned individuals and, consequently, the society at large. This paper reviews two of these literatures that argue out these sides of the debate: Robert Johnson’s Hard Time, Understanding and Reforming the Prison (more of a supporting voice) and Billy Wayne Sinclair and Jodie Sinclair’s A Life ...

It is unethical for hospitals to charge uninsured patients more money than insured patients for similar medical procedures. This is according to medical ethics and professional codes of practise. However in most cases, this is rarely the case given challenges normally arise as a result of resource allocation.

As a result, it is common practise for hospitals to ignore principles of distributive ...

Introduction

Official corruption regularly, exists in every nation with long haul financial stagnation: on the premise of easygoing induction, it is obvious that the degree of authority corruption in an economy is absolutely corresponded with government administrative action, and contrarily connected with the pace of long-run monetary development and advancement.
