When George Orwell wrote Animal Farm in 1945, he intended the story to be an allegory to the occurrences in the Soviet Union in the Stalin era prior to the Second World War (Orwell 23). He was referring to the fact that after an era of monarchy, Joseph Stalin emerged as a communist leader who initially promised to listen to the needs of the common people, but instead soon became a monarchical ruler of the country. Thus, Orwell believes that communism is a dangerous policy as it gives the leaders of a country such absolute power that they tend to forget their responsibilities. ...

The central argument of this book is the emphasis on the dominance exercised by big businesses on the American economy’s macro-dynamic. Small entrepreneurs who compete for customers through price adjustments outnumber the quasi-monopolies or mega firms by a significant margin. However, the latter still dominates the macroeconomic dynamic. Foster and Magdoff posit that quasi-monopolization, or monopoly capital, is the driver of the American economy’s macro-dynamic. Monopoly capital, however, brings about stagnation. The duo base this argument on the postulation that the greatest strength of this economic system is also its Achilles heel. Quasi-monopolies’ greatest strength is the ...

The theory of realism has been a source of constant conflict between the government policies and the academia. The lines put forth by John Mearsheimer bear testimony to this conflict. Mearsheimer believes, “Realism appears to have a bright future in the twenty-first century. Unfortunately, we still live in a nasty and brutish world where the great powers compete with each other for power. The only possible threat to realism is likely to come from inside academia, where it is frequently reviled. But any attempt to silence realism within the academy is likely to fail, simply because it is difficult to repress or ...

Mathematical statistics is a branch of mathematics, which is developing methods for recording, describing and analyzing the data of observations and experiments in order to construct probabilistic models of random mass phenomena. Depending on the mathematical nature of the concrete results of observations divided by the mathematical statistics Statistics numbers, multivariate statistical analysis, the functions (processes) and time series, Statistics non-numeric objects of nature. There are three parts of mathematical statistics: descriptive statistics, estimation theory and the theory of testing hypotheses. Descriptive statistics is the ...

Both the theologian James Cone and the existential philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre looked at the world and were unsatisfied with the status quo they experienced around them. This dissatisfaction led them to know ideas and perspectives with which to see the world. These ideas resonated with others, which gained them the notoriety they have today as important philosophical/theological figures. The Public Broadcasting service (PBS) did a profile of James Cone in its series “This far by faith” which explains how the social and political tides at the time shaped his view of the world and his ideas for how he thought ...

NPV

NPV (the net present value) is used to calculate, and analyze how much is a project is useful also to find out the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. Also, we should know that the NPV analysis is sensitive when we calculate the future cash inflows for the project's revenues. Simply the NPV method shows whether we should undertake a project or reject it; it is useful to make decisions and it is easy to use.

Introduction

This research paper examines the evidence that supports a continuance of the existing federal ban on the recreational use of marijuana. While there seems to be a groundswell of public support for legalization of its use – which many claim is the result of strenuous lobbying by pro-marijuana activists – there remains strong scientific evidence in support of a continuing ban on the grounds of public health and safety, especially among the younger generation who would be most affected and most vulnerable to addiction and other problems if it were legalized, thereby making access that much easier.

Racism is an issue that occurs everywhere regardless if it is at work or in school. It scars the cultural, economic, and political life of an individual whether acts of racism are done subtly or not.

People who have issues about other people’s races or ethnicity usually use violence and verbal abuse to show superiority and make others feel inferior. In schools and universities, one of the issues that confront America now is whether or not to ...

Concerning personal identity my position is similar to that of John Locke. I reject the idea that my personal identity is tied to my soul, as Cartesian theory suggested. I also do not believe that my personal identity is tied to my body. It seems more plausible to me that my personal identity is tethered to my memories because I am a culmination of my experiences. What I have endured, learned, and observed have made me into the person typing this. Memories are what have created my personal identity. My position on the mind and body problem, or that ...

The administrative system of the colonialist, for example, became part of the practices exhibited by the former colonies. Interestingly, not all the colonized assimilated the culture of the colonialist. As evident through cultural conflicts in the postcolonial era, ...
