As the words denote, air rights refers to the unused space above all properties. Air rights are seen as a form of developmental rights in real estates. On the other hand, real estates refer to the legal process involving land and all the activities done with an aim of developing the land. This involves the erection of buildings, drilling wells, putting up fences and will also include all other improvements on the land. Such improvements are done on a fixed location. In real estate, there are laws that regulate the activities done on the land. These include all the regulations and legal codes which guide commercial and residential property transactions. In relation to air rights therefore, the mere act of owning buildings or land automatically grants one air rights. These allow one to use and develop the land and air space as one wish. In my research proposal, I aim therefore at look at some of the benefits and effects on the fundamental principles guiding both the ownership and development of air space and real estate.

The proprietary theory had been developed at a time when the size of businesses was relatively small and the ownership was mainly sole proprietorship or partnerships with small number of partners. In this situation, the ownership of the business and its relationship with its creditors could not be adequately explained in accounting terms since the fact that a company is ...

In the Economist debate over the presence and legitimacy of the ‘global elite,’ Jamie Whyte and Daniel Ben-Ami argued both for and against, respectively, the right of the global elite to have the majority of wealth in the world. They also discussed whether or not they subjectively ‘deserved’ to be there, and whether their status on the top was beneficial for the whole of humanity – whether they ‘served the masses’. Jamie Whyte argued for the legitimacy of the elite, as they are providing services and purposes that are proportional in importance to their income and level of power. Conversely, ...

In this paper, Sung-young Lee creates a very compelling analysis of minimalism that is full of facts and clear arguments, but there are quite a few things that could be improved upon. For one, there are quite a few spelling and grammar errors in the text – ‘quite’ instead of ‘quiet’, mixing tenses in mid-sentence, and even potentially making up some words, such as ‘dynamicity’ and ‘minised’ (perhaps they meant to say ‘minimized’). The sentences, for the most part, are clunky and poorly formed, which can make it a little difficult to read and comprehend.

Those stereotypical images have their parallel in our society too, because through the media images of what ...

Being a great manager requires being a great leader.

Answer 1 I agree with the statement that supply usually creates its own demand according to the statement made by the economist who appeared on CNN (news station). In an economy, the production as well as the sales of goods usually produces automatically an income of the same value for the producers. The income is then re-injected into the same economy to create more demand which is enough to buy the same goods and services hence supply creating its own demand. This is in alignment with the market model which states that the return of a certain security is ...

In Mortimer Adler’s essay “How to Mark a Book,” he makes some incredibly compelling arguments for writing in a book as you read and understand it. In his mind, marking books is a way to interact more with the text and be a part of it, instead of just letting it pass over you. By marking your book, you are forcing yourself to pay attention to the work and permitting its ideas to invade your mind. This makes it more than just a piece of trifle that you are reading in order to waste time – it is something ...

Human Nature is Inherently Good

Sometimes it seems that people have forgotten what it is to be good. The world has turned into an evil and dangerous place of existence: constant terroristic acts, murders, hunger, diseases, etc. It is high time each and everyone stopped and thought about his human nature, about his inner good. However, despite the fact that the mankind is so cruel and evil, Mencius is convinced in the contrary, saying that all the people are naturally good. Mencius says that, "Human nature is inherently good, just like water flows inherently downhill" (95). He ...

In the introduction to Hunter's Shakespeare and the Comedy of Forgiveness, the author announces his intention to combat oversimplifications that have arisen over the past few decades with regards to the scholarship of Shakespeare, wherein the attitude of Shakespeare itself at the time of his writing would actually reflect the politics and intent of the work itself (e.g. King Lear having a sad ending indicating Shakespeare being despondent at the time of its composition). "This study...will be an attempt to investigate one feature - the denouement in forgiveness - which is common to five of the later comedies" (Hunter 2). In this way, Hunter is unique, in that he seeks to differentiate Shakespeare's plays from the normal categories of 'problem play,' 'romance,' and so on, and investigate their actual endings, calling them 'comedies of forgiveness.'

Why are babies, who are born to drug-addicted mothers, more likely to abuse drugs as teens and how can this be prevented?

Introduction

The term ‘Mothering’ is a manifestation of all the best practices constituted in the well being of a child. The way mothers perform this behavior is largely influenced by the social norms, rituals and myths. Then, the outcome of Mothering is an amalgamation of social, economic and political influences reflected in the character of a child. Hence mothers should be really concerned about how they raise their children and who is accountable for them. Family and household further extend support to the mothers as mothers alone cannot provide for all the needs of the children. It is the family and society which sets standards for what is good and bad for a child and a mother should be mindful of these differences if she wants to return to the society, a responsible human being.
