Sources of income in this case include compensations such as service, income from insurance (except death benefits), interests, pensions, and annuities, gross profits from businesses, income from corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates, amongst others (Lymer 2004, pp 144). The state excludes death benefits accruing from life insurances, ...

History plays a very important role in the development and progress of humanity. Social, cultural and political religious factors play a crucial role in shaping a society. All these factors evolve in a particular way throughout the history to give the society or world a particular shape. The world of today has also experienced such historical evolution. The economy is becoming increasingly global, in which an idea of uniformity and global culture is embedded. But on the other hand, despite the increasing move or evolution towards uniformity, the extremism in the world is also increasing. The reason for that is hidden in the past ...

Abstract

As the majority of the people are becoming more aware of the adverse effects of petroleum-based products consumption and of the continued diminishing of natural fuel oil reserves all over the world, the search for more environmentally friendly and renewable substitute is becoming the focus of many studies.

David Hume is one of the philosophers who looked at the relationship of things as they are in the human world. His ideas were well explained through a philosophical argument. There are some tenets of his argument. Some of these tenets lie in the contents of impressions and ideas. According to Murphy (Para 5), Hume argued that the contents of the mind can be divided into impressions and ideas. The impressions are such things as passions, emotions and sensations. On the other hand, ideas are the faint images of these impressions in reflection, thought, and imagination. Given this explanation, ...

In the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, the author chronicles the attempts by her and her family to spend an entire year eating nothing but locally grown food. Toward this end, Kingsolver concludes that it is entirely possible, though difficult in the process of adjusting and acclimating oneself to these new conditions, to eat only natural food, adjusting one's diet to the local growth available in the season. The author clearly links the wholesomeness, freshness and healthiness of these organic and local foods to the ubiquity and assembly-line perfection of the supermarket in one particular passage, which ...

Drug courts are courts that oversee the reformation and rehabilitation of non-violent drug offenders (Cole & Gertz, 2012). Under these courts all stakeholders of the criminal justice system work in tandem to ensure that those going through the program are reformed and rehabilitated. The drug courts supervise the treatment program especially through regular review of the offender to ascertain the progress made. The court normally rewards the offender where there is positive progress, and imposes sanctions where the offender has regressed or violated any of the conditions that had been imposed. There are drug courts for adults, juveniles, and ...

Introduction

Issues Facing Intergovernmental Relations

The state and the federal government should complement each other. The federal government exercises powers in a semi-autonomous manner, keeping the state government in check; this prevents the country from having an all-powerful central government. However, there are instances when the state and federal governments clash on some issues. There have also been major debates on which matters should be handled by which government. Sometimes the national government has been seen to arm-twist the federal governments into doing things in a certain manner, for example, adopting some legislation. The first major issue is the policies and legislations put in place ...

However, questions and arguments persist regarding Shi Huangdi’s leadership as he had also ushered the end of the various schools of thought throughout China and ...

Why did Dr. Snowdon choose a population of nuns for his study of Alzheimer's disease and aging?

It is prudent to note that the author of the book aging with grace had a very bright brilliant idea in his attempt to study the health of the religious population catholic nuns. He therefore chooses to study the health patterns of this population because at that time every member of that population was being subjected to the same access to health care, same living situation and for the above all the same income status. Therefore, for the sake of uniformity, the author found this population interesting to study because the population was subjected to almost uniform conditions. He therefore ...

Abstract

New advances in medical science and technology have decreased the global burden of disease. However, low-income countries lack the necessary resources to provide for the healthcare needs of all their people. E-health systems have the potential to help low-income countries tap into the richer healthcare resources of more affluent countries, by providing cost-effective tools that can link them to global data management banks, clinical decision support organizations, and care-at-a-distance programs. However, to be effective, these resources must be used with care. The first step in prioritizing healthcare resources is to estimate the burden of disease. High-income countries have reliable ...

More than often, culture is learned, shared and patterned in the society through aspects of enhancing unified cultural institutional change throughout interactions among individuals. Nonetheless, diverse cultures exist in a social environment allows for increased constant interactions between internal and external cultural values that articulates in the concepts of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism (Spade & Ballantine, 2012). Even though, it is not easier to accept the beliefs, values and practices of other cultures it is essential not to become judgmental and harsher towards any specific cultural value and norms.

More than often, language has been considered as the most obvious form of human communication. This is because, the use of either oral, written or non-verbal - language in each and every society remain as the most refined and fundamental form of communication among individuals.

The study includes two sets of mini-modules. Each set has 9 PV modules tilted at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 23, 30, 33 and 40o. The first set called "Cleaned" was cleaned every other day. ...

It should be no surprise that the idea of utopia has often been explored by American writers, since one could argue that America itself exists as a sort of utopian ideal. The words of the Declaration of Independence posit a sort of utopia in their idealistic talk of ’life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ This is very bound up with the notion of America as a new world, a new place where fresh starts can be made and the mistakes of the past avoided: The utopian passages in Euro-American writings tended to elevate American spaces and colonists by comparing them to ...

Standardization connotes ‘uniformity of procedures’ in administering and scoring tests. Standardized tests are for the purpose of comparing scores received by different persons. If the scores are to be comparable, the test and testing conditions must be same for all who take the test. Tests that are administered in an unvarying mode to all test takers are a standardized test. The principle of standardization is that the only independent variables present in the test should be the individuals taking the test and all other aspects must be constant. In order to achieve uniformity of the testing conditions, the test ...

Most of the theories of Durkheim argue that harmony fosters efficiency in work by minimizing conflicts. The occupational practices of Durkheim include the procedures adopted in the hope of realizing division of labor while creating harmony in the workplace. Durkheim was optimistic that these practices are attainable; however, he challenged people to show commitment in attaining their full level. In his preface to the second edition, Durkheim highlighted that legal division of labor was desirable due to the unique existence of the groups that came from it (Durkheim 2). Durkheim developed the hopeful theory, which assumes that division of ...

Anthropology has done much for religion by comparing religious opinions and cultural practices across social organizations, concluding that religion is created by human society that practice it.

Assumption of modern anthropology holds that religion is in continuity with magical thinking (Cassirer 1944:122).

God is an imaginative projection of humans as it has been observed that images of gods worshiped by communities resemble such communities. For instance,

Xenophanes a Greek writer observed that Thracian gods were blue eyed and blond while those of

the Ethiopians are flat nosed and black (Harvey, Van A. 1997). If gods are like the people worshiping them, then the society is worshiping itself in the disguise of religion- this argument has not been validated by all anthropologists. But this may make much ...

Mandatory minimum sentencing laws are inflexible sentence that courts are forced to hand on a convicted individual. These laws do not factor in culpability and other mitigating elements surrounding the crime committed (Bjerk, 2005). These laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. These laws apply mainly in common law jurisdictions as in civil law each crime is prescribed minimum and maximum sentences (Gilpin, 2011). In scenarios where the mandatory minimum sentencing laws prevail, judges have only the core duty to determine whether an individual is guilty or innocent. The laws were formerly introduced in two countries, the United States, and ...

Social control is very important in developing good morals among the members of the society through conformity to the societal social norms and customs. It refers to the social and political processes used in the society to govern individual and group behaviour with the aim of ensuring compliance to rules provided by the social group, state or society. The meaning has been subject to change overtime as it first meant the ability of the society to regulate itself but today the meaning has changed to individual’s conformity to society norms and customs.

Brand dilution

There is the imminent problem of a high possibility of brand dilution. There are some steps that could lead to brand dilution like when we examine the expansion strategy utilized by the other automobile manufacturers. One would notice that they are manufacturing variants for specific market regions; for example, there would be models for the European, African, Asian and other markets (Meredith, 2000). When this approach is adopted the customers in some regions would feel short changed because there is no uniformity. They are likely not to take pride in these models since they have a feeling that some features are ...

The onset of jazz music was a luxurious and monumental thing for New Orleanians. Though music was essential to life in New Orleans throughout the nineteenth century, no sound that welcomed everybody. New Orleans was a diverse place where Creole, French, Spanish, and African cultures, among others, all lived elbow to elbow, with seemingly nothing in common other than a love for music. During the 1870’s could be heard everywhere. New Orleans was filled with the folky sounds inspired by European immigrants, and the distinct beats of African and Caribbean inspired musicians. As the turn of the century approached, these two ...

Autism has a long past, but a short history. The story of autism begins with legends and tales of children being left by elves in return for stolen. In real history already in the 18th century medical texts are known, containing descriptions of people who are likely to suffer from autism (although the term was not used yet) – they did not talk, were excessively closed and had unusually good memory. Scientist of the previous centuries who approached the problem of people with autism the most was French explorer J.M. Itar, who described this state on the example of a 12-year-old boy ...

In the 2008 film Die Welle (The Wave) directed by Dennis Gansel and produced by Rat Pack Film and Christian Becker, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (portrayed by Jürgen Vogel) challenged his students about the possibility of an authoritarian government in modern Germany. To prove its possibility, he provoked his students to being his blind Nazi followers while he plays as the dictator "Herr Wenger". It was an experiential experiment gone astray but a subtle and touching revelation on the transcendence of fascism in contemporary time. For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

In family law and public policy, child support and visitation has been a matter of public discourse and intense debate, with no end in sight. Child support refers to a periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit following the termination of marriage, its dissolution or other relationships. This maintenance is either paid directly or indirectly by an obligor or an obligee to help in the care and support of children out of a relationship that has come to an end.

Criminal Law

Question 1: The exclusionary rule remains to be relevant in our present legal environment. According to Slogobin (2013, p. 345), the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Mapp v. Ohio stated that the exclusionary rule is derived from constitutional origin and stays completely undisturbed which means that the Fourth Amendment mandates the suppression of illegally seized evidence in spite of its effect on the police and an efficient means to prevent police misconduct. As an effect, any evidence that is illegally obtained and violates the Fourth Amendment for unreasonable searches and seizure is inadmissible in ...

The Catholic persecution in Ireland was a five-century quest to eliminate the Roman Catholic faith in an island where the religion has been deeply entrenched since the time St. Patrick introduced the faith in the second half of the fifth century. The Roman Catholic religion has been, until the 1540's, Ireland's religion until Henry VIII broke away with the Church. He instituted the English and Irish reformations in an attempt to rule over the church. Compared to other anti-Catholic movements that spread throughout Europe during the Reformation, the different aspects of Irish Reformation were primarily triggered by shifting government policy. ...
