Masculinity is a set of qualities traditionally inherent to males. However, these features change through time. Some experts mentioned that the original idea suffered severely from the development of consumerism in 90s. Men were turned from the so called Caveman Masculinity to other behavioral patterns that would make them buy more goods. Levant and Kopecky are examples of authors who thought masculinity is in crisis. Like they mentioned in their book: “raised to believe that “real men” don’t feel fear, sadness or much of nay other emotions, we’re now told we should not only feel these emotions ...

Corporate Social Responsibility, also known as CSR in business management circles, is a newer facet of business in most developed markets. Unlike previous generations of businesspeople and businesses that tended to put profit before all else, businesses in the modern world are more likely to put other concerns on an equal footing with profits; sometimes this is referred to as a “triple bottom line” (Carroll & Buchholtz, 20114). The triple bottom line refers to the people, the planet, and the profits that a business makes; all three of these things must be a concern for businesses in the modern world. ...

Q1: The principal considerations of a board of directors in making decisions involving dividend declarations There are three principal considerations of a board of directors in making decisions involving dividend declarations: the dividend policy; the type of dividend; and the source of dividend. Dividend policy: The Board must decide between two main policies in dividend declaration: progressive policy and payout ratio policy. Progressive policy may be in any of the three common methods: (1) increase or at least sustained; (2) increasing steadily (at a defined rate); and (3) increasing in real value (Financial Reporting Council [FRC], 2015).

Net neutrality is a design paradigm that has been used in the United States to protect the internet users. It argues that the network providers should be detached entirely from the information they are sending to their clients. Therefore, at no point should a given web information be given priority over the other. The policy implies that information networks are more important and useful to their users when it gives no focus on one issue over the other. In addition, the neutral network can be designed without prodding into any legality. The Internet is an interconnection of computers, allowing ...

The article is an open letter written by an anonymous resident of Ontario, who most likely is from one of the 28,000 farm families of Ontario. The open letter is written after new regulations to restrict the use of neonicotinoids had been proposed. The writer is reacting to this proposal because he or she feels that the regulations are not well-intentioned, and they are not aimed at protecting the honey bees.

Revenue management involves doing something to the consumers rather than doing something for them. A number of industries have implemented the concept of revenue management in order to maximize their sales and revenues. It assists in increasing their level of competitive advantage. Any organization should have their primary goal as establishing a mutual value of a relationship between them and their customers. Consumers ordinarily perceive a certain price increase given as ‘fair’ in the event that it is a reaction due to an increased seller costs. They perceive the price increase as ‘unfair’ in the event that it is ...

The freedom of movement is a constitutional right that allows every citizen to move freely in the country (Mau et. al., 2012). Essentially it enables the citizen to be anywhere so long as the citizen’s movement is not restricted by law, and such restrictions arise out of the actions of the citizen. Similarly, the movement may be restricted to restricted areas such as nuclear plants, power stations, private property, military bases among others. It follows then that the ordinance may face a constitutional challenge for prohibiting or curtailing the freedom of movement. The ordinance curtails this right by limiting ...

Macau is a very attractive gaming destination in the Asia Pacific region, just across the border for Hong Kong. This city attracts a large number of tourists and international visitors. It has also seen a rapid growth in establishment of large gaming companies, ever since liberalization for gaming operators in 2002.

It is a continuous process and is not the final outcome, and due to globalisation the world economies become dependent on each other culturally and economically (Friedman, 2006). This term was first used by an American economist Theodore Levitt in the year 1983 (Stiglitz, 2007). The main factors that drive the globalisation process can be removal and reduction ...

Avena, N., Rada, P. and Hoebel, B. G. (2008). Evidence for Sugar Addiction: Behavioral and Neurochemical Effects of Intermittent, Excessive Sugar Intake. Neuroscience Biobehavioral Review, 32(1): 20-39.

The nervous system evolves to motivate and reinforces an individual to subconsciously eat sweet foods and other foods that may trigger such addictive behavior similar to that of alcohol addiction. In this research, Avena and colleagues attempt to find whether or not sugar should be included in the ranks of heroin and cocaine that could also lead to a natural form of addiction. Avena and colleagues contend that food addiction may be a plausible explanation to explain how the brain pathways evolved in response to natural reinforcements that are activated in the same vein that pathways for narcotics are also activated. ...

Smoking has already been identified by numerous publications and journals as one of the top risk factors for the development of heart and cardiopulmonary diseases. This rationale has been used by policy makers to make policies and ordinances that prohibit the act of smoking tobacco products in public places. Unfortunately, some countries are yet to follow suit. Their ordinances and legislations’ laxity against the spread of second hand smoke are evidenced by the fact that smoking in public places are not yet fully enforced. In an academic journal published in the Journal of American Association in 2006, the authors ...

Privacy defines the capacity of individuals to conceal themselves or information about them. People regard a private matter as being inherently special and pertaining to the individual being or a group of people with collective interests. In this regard, the domain of privacy encompasses certain aspects such as information security as well as the need to secure information form access by unauthorized persons (Smitt et al., 2011).

Tariffs are defined as custom levies that are imposed on shipped goods. The levy is traditionally calculated as a percentage of the collective cost of the shipment, inclusive of transportation and guarantees. This factor increases the price of the shipment and provides a benefit to local products in that specific market; these are almost never imposed on export products. On average, tariffs hover at 5 percent; however, countries charge varying rates of tariffs depending on the product the tariff is designed to protect. Customs authorities will also impose sales duties, local duties and even additional customs levies. These levies are ...

Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are plants and animals in which the genetic material has been artificially altered through technological means. Genetic modification is now so widespread in agriculture that most Americans consume GMO-derived food every day without even realizing it (Chrispeels, 2014). Genetically modified meats, fruits, and vegetables are made by extracting and splicing segments of DNA from different organisms together.

How GMOS are Created

The creation of GMOs requires three main components: the gene to be transferred, the organism that the gene will be transferred into, and the vector of transmission that will deliver the new gene to the host, or ...

American history shows that people are unique and live together by the rule of law. As historical facts suggest, America's success as a democracy is due to its successful implementation of the rule of law.

Introduction

The US Constitution guarantees many of the rights of the individual citizens. One of the rights guaranteed is the right to peaceably assemble. The Bill of Rights states in part that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof [] or the right of the people to peaceably assemble” (First Amendment [emphasis added]). The 14th Amendment, on the other hand, ensures that states enforce this guarantee and all other civil rights guaranteed under the Constitution. The core issue in the present study is the right of the fans of Big Bad Bruce to ...

Company Law

Question One First, the issue in play is fueled by two elemental components. That is, the Beanstalk Ltd Company has a constitution that limits the sale of the agricultural products by the company in Queensland.

Nevertheless, Jack, who is the managing director of the company, attended a trade fair in Victoria that saw him sign a purchase agreement worth $150,000 with Giant Ltd.

Before the imperial Japan assault on Pearl Harbor on December 7th – “Day which will live in infamy” – the Japanese immigrants constituted a significant and quite a prosperous national minority among those existing in the United States in the period of inter-bellum. Despite the presence of some discrimination on the part of the white-skinned natives which consisted in not-employment of the Japanese for white-collar work and such other things “many Japanese and Japanese-Americans found relative success as entrepreneurs and business owners, particularly as farmers and hotel owners and managers” (Speidel). All of this taken in aggregate points out to the fact that ...

Vaporizing our futures

Researchers and health experts have proved again and again that tobacco, in any form, is extremely injurious for human health. However such findings and warnings have not deterred the smokers from smoking and there is no effect of such findings on the sales or use of cigarettes. The apathy of tobacco users is a major concern for policymakers and health experts. What is the reason for the ubiquity of cigarettes even though people know it is bad for their health? Mainly, people say that curiosity is the essential element in this problem. In our twenty first century, tobacco companies took a ...

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, ...

The main view of the paper is the review of the contrasting model of control which is the medical model and public health model of control. High salt intake comes from various sources. One of the main sources noted to be relevant in America is that of the intake from processed and restaurants foods. The medical model is based on stating the amount of salt the patient needs based on the health condition of such patient. ...

Part 1. Right to Strike

Present arguments for Public Sector Collective bargaining Lewin, Keefe, and Kochan (750) argue that collective bargaining in the public has been facing increasing criticism from the government for the past few years. The process where employees unite to negotiate with their employers for salaries and other benefits is argued to give the public sector an added advantage over their counterparts in the private sector. However, new evidence reveals that the public sector needs the collective bargaining more than ever. First, research reveals that the public sector workers make 4% lower compared to employees in the private sector (Budd ...

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development.

One of the problems which beset many governments today is corruption. With the era of globalization, countries are finding ways on how to eradicate corruption in order to be globally competitive.

International Trade and Foreign Exchange Rates

International Trade and Foreign Exchange Rates Trade surplus or deficit is usually used to analyze international trade. Speaking about U.S. economy, one need to use surplus of imports only, as the balance of trade this year in January was minus 38702 million dollars, meaning that the US imports goods more than exports (“United States balance of trade”, 2014).

Firstly, this is industrial machinery and equipment, at $731 billion. Almost a half in the category is crude oil ($313 billion). Also, fuel oil ($46 billion), petroleum products ($50 billion) and natural gas ($9 billion) is essential in it. Large amounts ...

The use of cell phones while driving is responsible for a large number of road accidents that often result in death of many. Cell phones have particularly become very important in recent times and almost everyone has a phone. It is due to this fact that the use of cell phone has gone overboard. People have started using cell phones even in the most unconventional situations, for instance when driving. In light of this fact, several laws that ban or restrict the use of cell phones while driving have already been enacted. Restricting the use of cell phones while driving is a ...

Gun Laws in US since 1877 to the Present

Debate on the right to own gun in US remains a controversial issue over the last two centuries. In the start of the year 1877, there were increased gun-related cases in United States.

Five years after the formation of National Rifle Association in 1871, the majority of people advocated for gun ownership for personal security. However, the constitution, under the second amendment barred private ownership of guns for personal use. The papers provide the timeline of gun laws revolution ...

- Introduction The prevalence of obesity has been on a steady increase in the last 3 decades to the extent that it has become a major public health concern (Bell & Zimmerman, 2010). This trend has been attributed to environmental factors that prevent or inhibit healthy eating and active life. Parallel to the prevalence of obesity and overweight has been the reduction in sleep duration. The longer working hours, in a bid, to make more money, and the growing 24-hour internet and cable TV entertainment have led to many people sleeping fewer hours than the recommended 6-8 hours . This has led to ...

Music has no boundaries and is listened by all sections of society, globally. Whether it is in English, German, French, Hindi, Mandarin, Arabic, Urdu, or any other language, music is enjoyed by one and all for its sheer power of attraction.
