The Gross Domestic Product has been used as an index of economic progress since the dawn of the nineteenth century. The use of GDP as an index of economic growth and development was inspired by the works of Simon Kuznets who stressed the importance of this measure of the total economic production in a nation in a year as an index to compare the economic improvement a country makes over time as well as for a cross-country comparison. But Kuznets himself later on expressed his view on the inability of GDP to take into account a number of important aspects of growth.

The chicken limb (wings) develops and buds out from the lateral plate mesoderm at typical locations along the sides of the embryo. These limbs grow with regional specification that includes distinct anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral pattern. The limb buds out because of the interaction between the mesenchyme and apical ectodermal ridge (AER). The signals sent from the AER maintain the progress zone in the mesenchymal layer. The progress zone has cell in highly proliferative and undifferentiated state. This knowledge can be used to produce higher number of chicken wings from fewer chickens.

There are certain compounds that are known to ...

The factors of the American culture that caused varying and unrealistic ideas about Native Americans included the fact that the natives were seen as the enemies of progress. Further they were also seen as standing in the way of settlement. These factors led to stereotyping of the natives who as a result were subjected to various atrocities. Such atrocities were aimed at provoking the natives so that they could reiterate. Their (natives) retaliation against the atrocities was then as an excuse to attack the natives. The natives were therefore regarded as savages who had to be christened and modernized. As ...

The term “Patents” came into existence as a legal mechanism created for the protection of the ‘intellectual capital’. It aims to protect inventor’s ideas from getting into the hands of others without appropriate permission or compensation (Bell 2013). This idea of patenting came up as a result of the early recognition that many inventors do not have the means to produce, develop, or even implement their invention at the time it was conceived. There is, therefore, a need for some protection that would encourage the inventors to aggressively pursue their ideas without someone else stealing it and thereby sharing the glory. ...

Economists and economic philosophers have been preoccupied with studying the past, identifying various social, political or cultural trends, for anticipating the future. In their articles, DeLong (“Growth is Good” and Lucas (“The Industrial Revolution: Past and Future”) develop economic theories consistent with their understanding of the past, analysis of the present and vision of the future. While developing their theories, the two economic writers touch various ideas, which are part of both discourses. Inspired by the known history and their contemporary reality, DeLong and Lucas reach similar conclusions, but there are also different points in their economic argumentations, which ...

In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted that humans would soon run out of food to eat. He thought that the limits on the world’s arable land meant that food supply would simply not rise as quickly as population would. Even in 1798, Malthus felt that the population was at the point of growing faster than food supply, so he did not see this as a problem that would show up millennia later; instead, he saw it as an imminent development. Of course, we are still here, more than 200 years later, and the plenty available for sale in supermarkets throughout ...

Book Review

Question 1 In defense of his statement, Diamond says that the location in which a particular culture took as a settlement area led to their ability to progress. The key things that defined the growth of a culture were animal domestication and agriculture. Apart from that, the ability of a community to come up with ways to have significant health traits, such as developing immunity vaccines, is significant. In short, the reason America and Europe progressed is due to the lack of some of the key features. It led them to travel far in search of them. Through the travels, they got ...

The “Cyborg Manifesto” is a story that deals with social feminism in the late twentieth century in relation to science and technology. There are numerous outcomes of what could happen next, but in my opinion, what will happen next is the return to the previous phase of human existence. Albert Einstein said that the last world war will be fought with sticks and stones and I support that opinion about where the future is taking us. Of course there is a lot of time before that, but in general the world has to be destroyed in order for it to ...

However, there are also some who are taking the odds against religion and looking up into the sky for answers about the cosmos and other realities of life.

Speaking about the four given definitions of risk, articulated by the four outstanding people, I think that each of these definitions makes sense to a great extent and striking a delicate balance between them would in fact be better that choosing one of those. However, having to choose the best I like I would say that quotations pointing out in favor of taking risk (so, the ones worded by John F. Kennedy and Jawaharlal Nehru) rather that in favor of being cautious are the ones I like better. Not taking any risk and always going forward by small steps is what ...

Introduction

An audit plan is a crucial element of the auditing process as it establishes the suitable procedures for specific items. (Mills, 2008) In that respect, it is a key risk management tool and its application in this case is crucial in managing the risks involved in auditing for the three items of work in progress, trade receivables and payables. (AICPA, 2002) In that view, the following is an explanation of why the three items are crucial for evaluation owing to the control and audit issues facing Falmer metals.

Justification for the items identification as areas key to audit risk

The business situation provides environment for audit risk. First, the lack of inclusion ...

Kuhn Cycle presented by Thomas Kuhn in early 1960’s. This cycle was a very sophisticated method of telling about the science and its progress. Kuhn presented a model elaborating the ways how a science can contribute in the progress of a society. That model was named as “structure of a scientific revolution.” According to that model, Kuhn negated the outdated ideas about the progress of science. According to Kuhn, the world is relying on the idea in the field of science, and that idea portrays the slow and steady innovations and addition to the existing scientific progress.

I began learning English because I considered it as an important part of my education. Much of the world speaks English. I plan to travel and want to be able to communicate with many people. Learning a few of the languages that the majority of the world speak will make that easier for me. Being bilingual makes getting a job easier as well. Many classmates of mine have also learned English as a second language, a good friend of mine from South Africa, in particular. When I began learning English I knew a few students who already spoke English. Some spoke it as ...

In the essay “Face of an Angel”, author David Sheritt overviews the progress of black actors in Hollywood through critiques of leading black filmmakers and critiques. These people, like filmmaker and director Spike Lee, are so invested in the progress that their critiques come across as harsh such as when Lee said that a character from The Green Mile merely filled the role of a modern day helpful slave. When used by itself, the quote gives the article a negative connotation. However, the article does look at some of the positive developments in Hollywood in terms of career progression of black actors. ...

The research could have been improved in several ways. These include and not limited to the following. In the data collection, the researcher could have used much smaller groups to ensure that every stake holder is fully involved and that the results are more credible.

The other component is the goals and objectives of the change. This is critical in understanding the purpose of the change. Another component ...

The Scientific Revolution has been subjected to philosophical evaluation for quite a long time. Among the most prominent people that have subjected the scientific revolution to a thorough thought process is Thomas Kuhn. According to Thomas Kuhn, scientific history has been characterized by changes in the scientific outlook (Dilworth 70). This can be best explained by the fact that the scientific community usually accepts a dominant paradigm, until anomalies arise. As time passes, scientists question the paradigm itself from which new ideas and theories emerge, further changing the outlook. In support of Kuhn’s views, this paper seeks to explain that the ...
