Good Bye, Lenin

“Everything begins with Marx, continues on with Lenin, and ends with the refrain, Welcome, Mr. Brezhnev”, says the classics of critical theory. How come socialist revolutions begin with bright slogans and promises of the emancipation of every social group but soon end up with Stasi, KGB, Gulags, economic stagnation and deep coma? Why does it need the Wall to be built to prevent the people not from the intervention but from escaping if, by theory, everything is made in sake of people’s happiness? The destinies of the characters of Good Bye Lenin movie (like many of people from ...

Reflective Essay on the Book “Wonder”

Abstract

It is important to teach children, and adults, how to accept individuals who have a disability. This eliminates the awkwardness when they encounter such individuals.

As an educator becomes more familiar with the adaptations, it will become second nature. R.J. Palacio’s book, “Wonder” begins with a young teenage boy, August, ...

The success of any firm relies on the performance of the leaders and the employees. However, due to the failure of teamwork in most institutions, the leaders have ended up satisfying their personal interests instead of focusing on the long-term goals of the organization. Most organizations have tried finding solutions to these leadership problems without the success they crave (Gustavson & Liff, 2014). Maybe training the leaders is not a final answer. They should take a fresh approach on how the work is conducted. This could be creating a team of leaders where everyone has a leadership role, and there ...

Thesis The good indicates one’s understanding of being, in which one halts from evil and incorporates the choices and beliefs that are considered good. It is a predetermined phenomenon in which one individuals try to incorporate good rather than evil in a rationalized manner. It eventually indicates that individuals indulge in the wrong only under the self-denial and unconsciousness towards the extent of good (Partenie and Tom 8). The extent to which one believes in good also accounts for the extent of self-determination which eventually empowers the individual towards new perspectives and laws (Partenie and Tom ...

Introduction

Time was, revenue-obsessed executives and owners used to disregard the social and ethical components to their business. There has come a time when business has become the environment- and society-centric.

As demonstrated by Alila Hotels & Resorts, companies can make nature conservation efforts and undertake civil initiatives garnering a massive public support. Towards these ends, resorts can employ local residents, thereby increasing their welfare, train personnel, support the organic food cultivation and local crafts, open and ...

Debates concerning the use of marijuana as a medicinal treatment have been ongoing for decades, and have sparked more than a few concerns that have to do with its applications.

Introduction

Unsustainable corporations simply do not last when they encounter economic, social, and ecological boundaries that dictate what is acceptable or possible. However, switching or creating the sustainable enterprises is quite difficult. Therefore, it is fascinating to witness how new company policies, unrestrained by old habits and vested interests, perform under the challenging circumstances. The incoherent changes in the society today are termed as the New Economy that has risen since the late 90s. The high employment, low inflation, and high growth introduced by the period have led to flawed business plans and excessively optimistic forecasts. This article structures an ...

Weizmann Institute of Science Abstract Contemporary science education (at all levels) does not treat students as passive consumers of knowledges, skills, and other educational “products” anymore.

Technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) are important tools mutually used by educators and learners to organize and develop the educational activity in its advanced form. In the present paper, investigating students' difficulties within the transition to the new model of education and acquiring of ...

Since the shift from rehabilitation-focused to a penal system the rate of incarceration has increased drastically. This current trend of mass incarceration is ...

Vocabulary lists record that a family is "a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household." Families contain several different people related in specific ways, including father, mother, and children.  This view extends to include step relations, in-laws, grandparents, and other relatives.

In literature, there are various definitions of a family.  The basic definition is founded on the significance of human reproduction and underscores that children need parenting for quite a long time. Functional theories evaluate the value of accomplishing roles by families. But if family roles are abandoned, a family is referred to as a dysfunctional family.  Another view of the ...
