Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Position: Head Chair/Co-Chair Introduction The criminal accountability of the UN Officials on mission is one of the legal issues, which has been debated through the Legal Committee for numerous years. The legal gaps make it difficult for the UN to hold personnel accountable for crimes committed in the missions under its jurisdiction. The UN personnel are being currently accountable only to their countries and their legislation or being protected by the international legal statute of immunity. The lack of accountability makes the whole organization less credible and reliable. With two different groups of UN personnel the troop contributing countries ...

AUSTRALIA AND SOUTH KOREA

Comparison of the Religion’s Significance in Australia and South Korea Religion is undeniably one of the most important parts of the humanity. It has always been there, first as a form of fear before the unknown and misunderstood forces of nature, and then as a form of moral guidance and help. People have been showing a necessity to believe in something above them for a very long time, and even though the times have changed, this necessity still remains intact in many. However, religions do differ greatly depending on many factors: nationality, geography, climate, historical evolution, political situation ...

Literature on the effect of environmental stress caused by changes in the climate is more relevant today than it has been before, especially in the context of global warming (Beniston 2010). Schulte (2014) and Somero (2010) published articles on environmental stress and climate change respectively. Reading the two articles offers an understanding of how the two variables are interrelated and the effect that they have on living organisms. The manner in which the arguments are constructed presents with various positives and negatives. This critique will highlight the positives and negatives with the help of literature from other scholars. Schulte ( ...

The Documents

The Declaration of Independence Among the founding documents of the American republic the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States share primacy. First in time was the Declaration of Independence. Prepared by the Continental Congress over a year after the American Revolution had started with the battles at Lexington and Concord in April, 1775, the Declaration was silent on the question of religious freedom. In Jefferson’s words, which still ring down across almost two and a half centuries, the Declaration is firmly based on the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” and, of ...

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

Introduction

Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs is a nettlesome problem, as its incidence has risen since the beginning of the century. Long-term regular alcohol abuse sooner or later leads to alcohol dependence, mental shock, nervous system and internal organs diseases. Despite the commonly held belief, active-duty personnel in the military are not quite as tough as to be completely immune to the substance abuse problems that blight civilian populations. However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

Introduction

The relationship between human sexuality and perception on homosexuality is one of the most interesting topics in psychology. An understanding of the relationship between sexuality and perception towards homosexuals could greatly aid psychologists in making psychological interventions. At present, it has been proven by diverse studies that homosexuals are under different kinds of pressure, especially from the society. Divers studies have also shown that helping this group of people would require not just experts in psychology but also by the majority of the members if the society (Feng et al., 2012). Hence, it is important to understand how the ...

Over the past decade, there have been ongoing debates about limiting marriage rights for people involved in homosexual relationships or not. The debates rely on the arguments that it is discriminatory to exclude any sorts of people from marriage. Alternatively, extending marriage to homosexuals destroys moral values. The polarization is mainly connected with individual differences: political values, ethnicity, contact with lesbians and gays, and sexual prejudice (Jowett 39). Despite the polarized views, people engaged in homosexual relationships have the right to marry. Nowadays, the population feels more favorable toward civil rights for lesbians and gays. In this regard, supporters ...

Reliability is a concept that focuses on the ability of a product to perform its functions according to specifications as well as in a consistent manner (Ebeling 32). It is related to unexpected failures of services or products as well as understanding the factors that contribute to such failures. The reliability of a system, service, or an item is the probability that it will perform the specified functions under certain environmental and operational conditions over a specified time. In most instances, reliability interfaces with quality, safety, supportability, test, cost, and design (Stapelberg 43). Reliability analysis is vital for understanding ...

Corruption is a multidimensional phenomenon with economic, political and cultural aspects. Its causes can be a combination of economic, political and cultural factors. Its impact can permeate the economic, political and cultural spheres. Brazil, India and China are countries that belong to the BRICS or the organization of emerging economies. Corruption can hamper the economic growth prospects of these economies. A comparison of corruption in Brazil, India and China provides a deeper understanding of the historical roots of this problem and the implications on the future growth prospects of these countries.

Globalization and changing environment lead to improvement of cultural interactions between people and, thus, require new approaches to education. The diversity in schools and universities and different cultural and family background of students result in the new role of a teacher as a "guide" who is able to perceive each of his students as an individual with a personal set of skills and is able to find to each of them personal educational approach. It is especially challenging for early education when children just learn to interact with each other and to be tolerant. The terms "diversity" and "cultural ...

Art-related disciplines are critical to educating citizens and students of every age. Nevertheless, the arts have declined significantly in schools and public participation. According to a recent study by Rabkin and Hedberg (2011), fewer eighteen-year-olds in a 2008 survey reported receiving arts instruction in their childhood than a similar age group surveyed in 1982. The research suggested that the provision of arts education dropped from 65% in 1982 to about 50% in 2008 (Rabkin & Hedberg, 2011). Moreover, it included survey data gathered in 2002 and 1992 with each successive period indicating a severe decline in Americans’ access to arts ...

Innovation Architecture

Innovation Architecture Innovation is essential for the development of all businesses. It is crucial for the management of the company to provide an environment that encourages development. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg (2013) argue that leaders should be innovation architects in addition to being innovators. The primary role of a leader is to ensure that the structures, processes, as well as culture, are conducive for the employees to be innovators. This paper is set to discuss the processes, culture, management styles, as well as systems of Netflix, General Electric (GE), and Lego that enable them to create a culture of motivation ...

Although the alcohol is a legal drug while the consumption of cannabis is illegal in many countries, alcoholism has enormous effects on the health and the life of the consumer. Lewis et al. (2011) portend that consumption of large quantities of alcohol leads to addiction. Primarily, addiction leads to a medical condition whereby an individual develops difficulties in controlling the consumption of the alcohol even if he is well aware of the inherent effects of excessive consumption of alcohol. According to Lewis et al. (2011) alcoholics are at a high danger of many health related complications some of which ...

John Locke wrote ‘The Letter Concerning Toleration’ among all people. At the time, there were diversities exhibited by people especially in matters regarding religions and faith. The letter called for toleration, bearing that Catholicism was taking root and becoming strong in Europe, especially in England. Due to the fact that there were many religions in the world, and all of them claimed to be the most powerful, and have a majority of followers, Locke saw that the only way to a peaceful coexistence would be through toleration of each other, regardless of which faith a person subscribed. Christianity was ...

Introduction

Diversity is a concept that can have various meanings. It entails an understanding that every person is unique. It is essential to mention that diversity is all about understanding one another irrespective of our race, culture, sexual orientation, physical ability, gender, social class, or ethnicity, and embracing tolerance to our individual differences. Diversity is primarily a good thing as it allows for both variety and richness and increases innovation which, in turn, facilitates the economic growth of a country. Diversity is fundamentally an opportunity because the society, which learns to coexist with it has high chances of attaining faster ...

In an article titled ‘How Religion Can Lead to Violence’, Gary Gutting explains his view on the current state of terrorism in the world. Gutting (2016) elaborates that almost all the recent terror attacks all over the world have received almost the same response from Islamic leaders who have distanced the causes of terrorists from their tolerant religion. Clearly, Gutting is of the position that Islamic teachings have failed to teach Muslims tolerance as Christianity has done to its adherents. After reading the article, I was utterly disappointed in the arguments that Gutting presented in a topic defined by ...

William G. Perry: Forms of Intellectual and Ethical Development in the College Years

Perry conducts research on college age students and sets forth their intellectual and ethical development through nine positions. Position One is designated as Basic Duality. At this stage, the student places knowledge into two categories: the “in-group” and the “outgroup” (Diessner, 2008). According to Perry, position one has the following attributes: Within the in group are things familiar: truths that concern obedience. The student develops knowledge through committing items to memory and obeying Authority. The out group consists of things unknown or alien to the student. This set of knowledge is considered illegitimate and wrong. The student sees no ...

In Plato's "Apology", Socrates' series of dialogues in the period preceding, during, and after his trial provide an insight into his mastery of rhetoric. That is especially true given his ability to arrange his arguments in a judicious manner. While not overly successful in persuading the jury, the final judgment appears to be as a result of bias and prejudice rather than having a weak argument in the various passages of the "Apology." Socrates makes a persuasive claim that it is not possible to separate wisdom from moral virtue. Therefore, by being a man of wisdom, he could not ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Abstract

Although obliged to cover issues in their entirety, with no distortions made in the process, American media tend to misrepresent the reality, as was the case with the depiction of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime implications for the social welfare possibly for political reasons. The noble cause of saving the international image of the USA formerly allied with the late leader in the wake of the Gaddafi demonization could have been the driving force of misrepresentation of the myth related in part to ethical minorities. The knowledge of non-consequentialism and its principles, whether unconsciously or otherwise, allows readers to perceive ...

Crime rates have increased drastically among the children and adults in the society over the recent years. Poor parenting, altruism, and prosocial learning has been associated with violence among the children.

In a video posted on July, 22 2016 comedian Mike Ward was fined $42,000 for using a disabled child as the butt of one of his jokes. ("Political Correctness Gone Too Far? - Canada.") While it is easy to agree that Ward deserved to be fined for what could be seen as an attack on a child and a disabled person. On the other side comedians argue that political correctness and thin skin have had a negative effect on doing their comedy. This is understandable as comedy has always been a way to look at the flaws of ...

(Professor/Instructor) (Course/Major)

The US Constitution allows Congress the power to deploy the ‘militia’ with the objective of “executing the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.” In addition, it ensures that the states are protected against aggression to overthrow the “republican government” and, upon the request of the state government, against civil disturbances. These constitutional tenets are seen in the 1807 Insurrection Act prior to and after the adoption of 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. The latter bans the deliberate engagement of any component of the Army or the Air Force unless allowed by the ambit of Congress ...

Introduction

The distinction between how the West and the East control their local affairs, and how they organize their institutions is enormous. In a normal context, though, even two states in similar vicinity exhibit major differences in individual economic policies, religious inclination, and political systems. Notwithstanding that, it is important to appreciate the similarities and dissimilarities that manifest due to the location in certain regions. The case of Saudi Arabia and France is a good one to understand how regional influences affect, the systems of government, political institutions, faith and economic policies of a state. For instance, the Saudi Arabia ...

Introductory Remarks

At this point, it is no secret the American society shows a degree of tolerance lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered individuals never enjoyed in the 20th century. The question emerges of why it is that people have grown more tolerant towards and supportive of LGBT individuals. Media categories, such as television and films considered the carriers of culture, influence people’s perception, as does the culture itself shaping it. Thus, the way such phenomenon as same-sex relationships along with their participants are depicted in television and movies determines how tolerantly the society will perceive such people. The major research ...

Women and gender studies

Gender studies - the practice of interdisciplinary research using the cognitive capabilities of the social theory of sex (gender) for the analysis of social phenomena and its changes. The psychoanalyst Robert Stoller worked at the University of California he has introduced into science the term "gender" in 1958, which means social manifestations of belonging to a sex or a "social sex". In 1963, Robert Stoller spoke at a psychoanalytic congress in Stockholm. He presented a report on the gender self-awareness. His concept was based on the separation into biological and culture study of sex. The scientist believed that sex ...

Everyday police work tirelessly to ensure that our streets are safe from criminal offenders. Therefore, different programs are applied to ensure that law and order is upheld. Three common programs; zero tolerance policing, community policing, and problem-oriented policing have thus been applied in various occasions by the police to deal with the law breakers. Zero tolerance policing has plenty of similarities to share with COP and POP and at the same time, there are some differences.

Similarities between Zero Tolerance Policing and COP and POP

Though zero tolerance policing, POP, and COP apply different strategies in executing their services, the biggest similarity they share is that they are ...

The elections are nearing, and the campaigns are still ongoing, and politicians are using hateful speeches and remarks to further their political ambitions. Individuals who use hate speech cite the first amendment; the freedom of speech. However, hateful statements have adverse effects on the peaceful co-existence of individuals from different communities and may also cause emotional damage as well as fear. Donald Trump has been making bold exclamations about immigrants in the Capitol, since his pre-election period, and for that he received a wide coverage and magnetism from the press. Amanda Sakuma’s Why Donald Trump’s Racist Remarks ...

I find vision of tolerance is ethical and useful, because with vision of tolerance, Locke promoted toleration for religious beliefs of alternative religions. Locke is, however, of the view that the use of force by the government or state in order to compel people to practice a particular religion is illegal or unlawful. Further, he emphasizes on separation of state and church as he argues that the role of government is to manage external affairs of well-being of individuals, and the role of church is to manage internal affairs in an effectual manner. In my opinion, Locke’s tolerance ...

When alcoholics withdrawal from alcohol, they suffer from symptoms such as irritability, nausea, and shaking. On the other hand, tolerance refers ...

It is a particularly ethically challenging job that requires thorough expertise and high standards in ethics to fulfill all goals. Policing is a difficult job as well in terms of physical and moral complications it may generate. It poses a direct threat to life of professionals operating in this field and high ...

With the increasing number of sexual encounters among adolescents at an early age and the saturation of sex in all major media channels, sex education is becoming an important part of the education system that can prepare young people to better understand sex and promote responsible sex behaviors. However, sex education is not mandatory in the United States on the federal level, so each state is required to develop its own policies concerning sex education (Weaver, Smith & Kippax, 2005, p. 176). The lack of laws regulating sex education on a federal level can lead to many problems with sex ...

Screening Reflection

Ride with the Devil, upon first glance, may seem like a movie that doesn’t deserve significant attention. In reality however, it relates to a deeper level with several of the other films that we viewed in class. For me personally, this film was able to relate to all of the other films we viewed in class on multiple levels. Ang Lee’s films have dealt with a variety of topics in the past. Some of his earlier works that we watched, like Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman, deal with the relationship between tradition and modern ways ...

Contemporary business landscape places numerous pressures on the companies. Some of the major challenges for the modern corporation, operating in the increasingly diverse environment, is to ensure consistent ethical business practices at all stages of the business.

Within each society, people build relationships that foster growth and development as people interact with each other. The relationships vary according to the work and social standards of the specific society. In other words, most people in a particular society will work together to develop a common idea that will help to bind people together as a community. Within these societies, there are those simple or common guiding principles that are practiced for extended periods and become an integral part of the culture and the traditions of the society. But, not all consensuses within the society will guarantee the ...

Medieval Europe Prostitution

Depiction of Women in the French Fabliaux Within the French fabliaux, women are portrayed in many different ways. However, the two most dominating depictions are as the heroic figure, or the unsavory figure. There are numerous articles and essays written on this topic, supporting one side or the other, explaining the reason behind why women are portrayed in a certain way within the fabliaux. However, are we really able to support strictly one side of the argument? The history of prostitution explains to us that there could be a reason why there exists such conflicting portrayal of women within ...

English 263: Holocaust Literature

Introduction The Holocaust experience remains something memorable in the world history as one of the worst events in the world. Various authors have come up with different literature pertaining to the Holocaust events and the experience. None of the literature can be deemed accurate compared to another. The experiences during this period by the Jews under the Nazi regime led by Adolf Hitler were extreme and in the modern civilized society, no person can subject to such torture and death without punishment.

Police Misconduct1. What role does the police/corrections subculture play in fueling law enforcement misconduct?

Police subculture is a popular notion in law enforcement literature. According to Ortmeier and Meese (2009), police subculture is an important determinant of police behavior and attitude. The definition of police subculture is based on common attitudes, which are characteristic in a typical police department. The police subculture perceives the community in terms of violence and hostility; thus, the general reaction is to ensure secretiveness, supportiveness and unity in the police force. The conventional characterization of police subculture is based on attitudes, values and behaviors developed within a typical police department (Ortmeier & Meese, 2009). Whereas the police department has ...

Jim McGuigan (2009), in his widely-acclaimed article “Doing a Florida: The Creative Class Thesis and Cultural Policy” talks about Richard Florida, considered as a the guru of management in America. According to McGuigan, Florida’s work The Rise of the Creative Class was a classic case of looking impressive on the surface, but is actually riddled with flaws in the inside. In addition, Florida’s work on cultural policy leans more on the managerialist perspective which resulted to the oversimplication of the scientific reasoning and research (McGuigan 310). To a reader who has no background on the social sciences, ...

Q1 Answer

The risk in financial investment refers to the events that may affect the attainment of a financial goal. On the other hand, Paul (2012) defines the rate of return as the gains from the investment that an investor receives after a given duration of time. Both risk and rate of return can be said to be directly related. This is to mean that when the risk of investment is very high, then the rate of return is very high. However, this does not mean that always when an investor takes high risks will gain high returns, He or she ...
