Essays on Unintended Consequences

INTRODUCTION

It is the belief of most people that when stronger law enforcements are applied, it will help in getting the drugs off the market, thereby making the streets to become safe. However, the evidence that exists with the Drug Abuse Council challenges this belief. The council confirmed that an increase in the price of one bag of street heroin in any given month from $7 to $9, there would be an increase in the number of revenue-raising crimes from 11,000 per month to 12,000 per month due to heroin trade alone (Friedman 1).

Introduction to Contracts

Just like any other website dealing with social media, Facebook has terms of service that users must accept by clicking on a box before they go on to create an active account. Many legal experts around the world have questioned the legality of the Facebook terms of service seeing that the agreement process is just ticking a box. However, such terms of service are legally binding, and a violation on either side can result in a legal issue. For instance, agreeing to the terms of service allows face access and use of your personal data for research and another ...

Abstract

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), is a new hazard analysis technique designed to “eliminate or control scenarios” before they result in losses (Leveson 2011). STPA is based upon an analysis of loss of functional control of a process rather than on an analysis of failure of individual components. Therefore, the model that is used in STPA is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram (Leveson 2011). STPA provides guidance to the users, as opposed to other hazard analyses. In addition, STPA can be used before a system ...

The growing world population places a strain on natural resources. One of the resources that are strained is water. Water scarcity is increasingly becoming a global concern for environmental policy, especially in semi-arid and arid parts of the world (Dumont, Mayor, and Lopez-Grunn 64). Consequently, there have been measures to develop innovative solutions for water management to ensure sustainability of water resources through water saving technologies. These technologies allow the use of less water and reduce costs. There is an extensive debate on how the savings that are generated impact on water sustainability. It is argued that some of ...

Introduction

The primary objective of this term paper is to examine the intended and unintended consequences of the Split Roll taxes in California. Also, the term paper will address how commercial and residential property owners will bear the costs of Split Roll taxation system. Finally, I will offer alternatives to the Spilt Roll taxes and why I think they are ideal choices. I don’t support the Split Roll taxation since it would treat commercial property unfairly. Leaving out residential property in the current taxation system is not ideal since all individuals should be subject to a standard tax system. ...

Reproduction in the News

Introduction Science and technology are marching forward into the brave new world with increasing rapidity. The proverbial Moore’s Law, prophesying the doubling of the speed of computer chips every six months (Moore’s Law), remains true to this date. As a corollary, increased use of the computing power and consequent technology allows medical science to unravel mysteries hitherto opaque to man. The biggest mystery to man has always been the mystery of procreation. As with most things man did not understand to begin with, he gave procreation a divine status. Children were literally the gift of God. However, ...

Solving Social Problems: Solar Energy in Rural India

The developing world grapples with the lack of access to electricity. Third world countries have poor electrical infrastructure which is still in the nascent stages of development. As a result, majority of people, especially those living in rural areas, have no access to electricity. The reach of the electrical grid in countries is limited to towns, and the poor who have access to electrical power supply suffer frequent and prolonged power blackouts. As a result, people in such countries result to unclean and unhealthy means of lighting, such as kerosene and diesel generators. The kerosene lamps cause respiratory problems ...

Abstract

This research proposal outlines measures to be undertaken in exploring the unintended consequences of unemployment. The researcher wishes to advance the assumption that unemployment is inevitably linked to serious economic and social dysfunctions occurring within the confines of Social Structure. Many of these irregularities are obvious, but others are rather insidious and concealed. Together they define the unintended consequences of unemployment. Unintended consequences of unemployment from the perspective of this researcher embodies a conceptual framework explaining all psychosocial factors, medical elements and subsequent descriptive emergent variables that adequately represent a sequel of events for which unemployment is inevitably the underlying force. ...

UNEMPLOYMENT AND ITS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

Introduction

The world has been overwhelmed by more unpredictable economic circumstances recently, perhaps best evidenced by global financial crisis (Barry, 2005). As such, when economies cycle between booms, recessions and even outright depressions, unemployment both of productive resources, especially, capital remains a factor that many people as well as governments must content with, at any times of their nation’s history and career life.

This is especially so given the massive global population expansions which have hardly been matched by increased education and skills acquisition, effectively leaving huge proportions of the population vulnerable to staying unemployed at the slightest upheaval ...
