Essays on Unity

Unity banks face enormous challenges both internally as well as externally. Internal challenges include issues related to the ownership. Unity banks lack autonomy, which shapes their destiny. Furthermore, union banks reflect politics rather than economic obsessions. Unity banks cannot hire employees at market salaries, which impose constraints on the banks in terms of their nature of oversight . The nature of oversight of unity banks prevents them from operating in a manner that values the concept of time as a competitive factor. On the other hand, the external challenges are severe. The business model implemented by unity banks is under stress due ...

The paper argues about the human mind exhibits unity; that it can perceive various activities occurring at the same time together as elements of a single conscious state. The unity of consciousness is fundamental to human cognitive functions. It is the basis in which we merge our senses and our minds to recognise, act and react. The unified consciousness is responsible for our ability to make comparisons based on our senses weaving it into one experience.

The notion of the unity of consciousness is the basis of cognitive research stemming from notable work by Descartes, Leibniz and Kant. Descartes’ argument ...

Introduction

The doctrine of Heraclitus is not only one of the earliest specimens of Greek materialism, but also a wonderful example of Greek dialectics. He was a contemporary of the failed uprising of the Greek cities conquered by the Persians against the conquerors. Heraclitus's contemporaries often considered him brash, arrogant man, who did not bother to explain his ideas, puzzles, mind-ciphers to others. Greeks called him the Dark. It remains unclear whether he was called the Dark, because he wrote in a poetic, is not very clear language, or because he was prone to aphorisms, sounding paradoxical, sometimes defiant. Maybe it was ...

WALTER RODNEY (1975), LIMITATIONS of the African petty bourgeoisie, Toronto: Afro-carrib publishers

For a long time now since the so called independence which was attained from the imperial powers, the African, Asian and Latin America working and the majority masses have continually experienced deprivation and untold suffering. This is rather ironical considering that it is the same masses under the ‘guidance’ of some indigenous political leaders who struggled to attain this independence. It was expected that the working classes who form the majority of the population would after gaining independence enjoy both political, social and economic freedom. That every person ...

Amongst the catalogue of powerful Twentieth Century speeches lie two that were delivered within three years of each other in the 1960s. President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech, from which comes the famous line, “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country” (1961), and Martine Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech (1963) are commonly regarded as benchmarks in American history and politics. Although first appearances seem to show that these speeches are completely different – the former addresses a new era in American politics, and the latter focuses on racial ...

Part 1

1. Why was control of the region important to the British and French? The original purpose of the British in controlling the Persian Gulf coast was to protect its strategic sea route to its empire in India. The safety of the region and the coast from piracy and other forms of conflicts, including conflicts between and among sheikdoms, jeopardized the free flow of trade in the region. To ensure the free flow of trade by freeing vital sea routes from piracy and conflicts, the British entered into a treaty with the sheikdoms in the Persian Gulf outlawing war within ...

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Question 2 Democratization has been very rampant in Africa. Democratization can be defined as a transition or change in the political regimes from non-democratic to more democratic states.

In Africa different workshops and meetings were convened to discuss how the issue of the authoritarian regime could be eliminated. Some scholars described such discussion as a ‘second wave and policy of liberation in Africa’. Numerous individuals and movements fought in ...

Introduction

Over the years, Catholic Church has undergone several changes, although the most significant being the changes brought by Vatican II. Arguably, Vatican II changes brought forth doctrines that the Catholic Church initially believed and taught its members. Worth noting, the changes brought forth “new Catholic Church”. This change is mostly attributed to the Vatican Council II that represented Vatican II, which was dogmatic as compared to other Vatican councils that were pastoral (Lopez & Julian, 2013). This changes not only affected Catholic Church members, but also the Protestants, and was led by Pope John XXIII. First, the mode of ...

Abstract

Chinese entrepreneurship is known to be influenced by historically traditional and cultural characteristics. The concept of Chinese businesses that the family patriarch critically manages them continues to hold true, although in the modern world as opposed to two decades ago, it has slowly changed. However, much of the management is held by a male member of the family, whether they operate a business upon their property or if they lease or rent the property. The tradition of a Chinese family-run business retains its discernible mark in worldwide business.

As motivated as they may be maintaining past practices for the sake of ...

Introduction

Marcus Aurelius is one of the most influential philosophers. Ideally, he has substantial reasons why he came up with his philosophical works including the “Meditations”. Stoic Aristo’s readings and reports influenced Aurelius’ efforts to come up with his philosophical piece of work. These readings initiated a sense of self-acceptance and confidence in Aurelius’ philosophical works. The “Meditations” is a very different from the text from the other philosophical texts. Most of the elements that are significant in the book elevate towards Aurelius’ personal experiences. Some of these experiences such as death and livelihood irritations manifest in the entire text.

As the world gradually moves forward from an age that celebrates the independence of each nationality to an age of interdependence and collaborative efforts, then so does education.

Migration from the birthplace to another country, interracial marriages and other such circumstances have all made possible the convergence of diverse cultures and languages in a single place. In a classroom setting, no longer is it possible to see a concentration of just one race. Today’s society is full of individuals who come from a long line of ...

The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013). As such, because of the industrial revolution, classes emerged. In this regard, the classes that emerged comprised of those of the rich and those people who worked for them. However, since then different forms of stratification emerged in the society. Examples of such stratifications or classes are the ones based on gender, race, age, and religion (Bartos & Wehr, 2002). Consequently, various arguments exist concerning these new forms of stratification with some people viewing ...

Introduction

One of the approaches in literary analysis involves a closet reading of texts. Essentially, a close reading involves a thorough analysis of texts towards the goal of scrutinizing all details that relate the connotative and denotative meaning of various literary works. As an approach, a close of reading of text is called formalism or new criticism. Formalism as an approach in literary analysis focuses on the intrinsic nature of texts. Texts become independent in that its significance and value lay in the content or more specifically the choice of words and the arrangement of these words in literature. Since formalism derives meaning from ...

In the federalist 70, Hamilton argues that pluralism is detrimental to union of Americans i.e. it is better for Americans to remain in one united government than to have multiple sovereign governments in the America. Hamilton claims that, the executive power is very critical in running of the government. He states that “energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition of a good government” (Alexander Hamilton, March 18, 1788). For this reason, therefore, the quality of executives determines whether the government is good or not. If the executive is feeble, it shall lead to bad executions of its ...

Very often people ask themselves why we think, how we think, what is the proper way and concepts of right thinking.

Confucianism is a belief that is greatly valued and taken to be as more of a religion in Asian countries. These ethical beliefs were developed by the Chinese philosopher called Confucius. The founder of the Confucianism did not intend to create a new religion as he developed these moral virtues, but he rather wanted to expand on the dying Zhou religion. These ethical beliefs were developed during the spring and autumn period. Confucianism was later incorporated into the state as an ideology. Despite the impact Confucianism had on the regions where it was exposed, the founder Confucius was not well known. Confucius ...

Critical Review

I would like to begin by agreeing with Ronald for reporting that women have not been given an equal recognition in the church. Unlike their male counterparts, the womenfolk ‘have had to struggle to liberate themselves from religious oppression’ Reddie, 2001). Although they have now attained religious progress, they have been discriminated in these male-dominated Christian churches for a very long time. As the author acclaims, no woman could initially be given a leadership position especially in the mainline churches. However, I would like to point out that they are now liberated. Today, many of them have been ordained as church ...

When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d

The Poem entitled “When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d” is Walt Whitman’s romanticized story of an American leader during a trying time. In his poem, he shows the audience his own meaning of democracy as well as racial equality. His poem speaks of Abraham Lincoln as the one who brought about racial equality in a land that was being tried. This was during the time of national disagreement, when their great leader fought for equality and abolitionism. This was the most prominent theme seen in Whitman’s work here. He speaks to the deceased president about his ...

SOCRATES - GLAUCON AND now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will ...

China on Screen: Chinese Identity

China on Screen: Chinese Identity The majority of classic popular Chinese cinemas are filmed and published by the fifth generation directors.

The Ottoman Empire emerged between the early fourteenth century and the late sixteenth century after a series of ten successive conquests. We, therefore, seek to answer the question, 'what were the reasons behind the Ottoman Turks military success in creating a third (but non-Arab) Islamic empire re-uniting the Greater Middle-East/Gulf region?' The Ottoman Empire emerged in the 13th century and expanded its area coverage through a series of conquests against the Christians and non-Turks minority. These successful conquests were significantly attributed to the extemporary organization of the Ottoman army. First, the success of any military conquest depends on its organization, ...

The Brahmin’s Son

In India, during the sixth century B.C., the Buddha era, lived a little boy named Siddhartha. Being the son of a Brahmin priest, Siddhartha was expected to practice sacrificial rituals and be trained in the various Vedas and Upanishads. He perceived its principles at a young age.

What is Pan-Arabism? In what ways has Pan-Arabism expressed itself in the Middle East? Why has Pan-Arabism failed to produce Arab Unity?

The term Pan-Arabism refers to the concept of the al-Umma al-‘Arabiyya or the Arab nation. The term was first conceptualized in the late 19th century when the call for Arab Unity was requested upon the establishment of several secret societies in Lebanon and Syria, urging the revolt against Turkish rule of the Arab region. It was constantly expressed by Arab nationalist in several periods such as in the First World War, wherein various Arab nationalist groups demanded the creation of an independent Arab nation once they revolt against the Ottoman rule; the West’s approval of the Zionist ...

Introduction

Administrative management theory is one of the theories in the classical management theory. Pioneered by Henri Fayol, the theory focuses on management of organizations in the most efficient way for the benefit of the total organization. This theory developed at the same time with the scientific theory of management and it emphasized on the functions of management. The theory “emphasized management functions and attempted to generate broad administrative principles that would serve as guidelines for the rationalization of organizational activities” (Drucker, 2007, p.132). This paper describes the administrative management theory, its initiator and the changes made to allow it ...

Leaders have always changed the course of time and have brought revolutions in the fields like Politics, Spiritualism, Management, Science and Arts etc. However though all these may be defined under the definition of success the path obtained to achieve success is different for all leaders; ...

“Pure philosophical writing is the anti-image.” - Agamben

In exploration of frameworks of both covert and overt manifestations of indeterminacy, these concerns are revealed, as representations, in philosophies of aesthetic iconoclasm and art, artifacts as symbolic, and modern issues related to Being and subjectivity, both of which are analogous to Nietzsche’s model of the relationship. For example, tragedy, comprised of Dionysian and Apollonian forces which combine in a chiasmic unity of oppositions, according to Professor Fred Ulfers, are characterized by Nietzsche as beautiful, singular and factual on the one hand (Apollonian), and sublime, multiple, and fictional on the other ( ...

Telephones, fax machines and email have all made office communication faster and easier. At the same time, they have dealt a big blow to interpersonal, informal forms of communication. Email tends to be formal, telephone calls are normally short, perfunctory and scripted and opportunities for informal conversations over projects are rarer. Meetings cannot be held daily to facilitate brainstorming, and many companies are realizing that something valuable may be lost.

Informal interactions give opportunities for people to bounce ideas off of each other and solicit for personal opinions in a low pressure environment. Outside of formal meetings, outside of email messages ...
