Abstract

After the 9/11 event agro-terrorism has continually been recognized as a national security threat. It aims at depriving citizens off the confidence they have in the government. The act also endangers human life as the contaminated food is unhealthy. Agriculture has much vulnerability and although it does not have the shocking factors as other terrorist strategies it may be used as a secondary target. The US not having been a victim of a large-scale, successful agro-terrorism attack is not a guarantee that the nation’s agricultural and food processing systems are secure. Many policies have been implemented and initiatives ...

Introduction

The USA is now witnessing one of the highest income disparities in its history. Rich people are getting richer while poor people are getting poorer. One of the main challenges for the government is to ensure more equitable wealth distribution among the population. One of the most discussed techniques in recent years is “minimum wage”.

Abstract

Shortly after WW2, Japan became a place where the Allies put on trial Japanese military criminals of different standing. Overall, the process looked methodical and well-though-out, with an ad hoc classification developed for determining the guilt of offenders. The post-war years witnessed the execution of generals and the punishment of soldiers following their brutal orders. However, several years later, a complex of factors like the deliberate destruction of evidence or the enormous number of cases halted the prosecution process expediting its termination. As unethical and immoral as it was, the USA had its reasons not to prosecute some of ...

ABSTRACT

Spring-time events such as flowers budding have advanced by two and a half days per decade since the 1970s in Prairie regions (Korner C, Science, 2010).The flowering of a plant is a central event in its life-cycle, especially in plants growing in temperate regions of the world. These events are known as phenological changes and phenology is the study of plant and animal life-cycles in relation to annual and seasonal climate variations. Flowering phenology combines various diverse fields of study such as plant physiology, climatology, historical studies, and botany (Tooke F, J of Exp. Biology, 2010). The break of dormancy ...

This conclusion is arrived at after due consideration of the state of affairs. The paper shall canvass the considerations and equally move a step to giving three recommendations for the country and its leadership.

Introduction

I think that marijuana has moral, behavioral and health effects in the society. People smoke it for recreational purposes and behave weirdly towards others. I have heard of cases where some members of the society have become abnormal from too much marijuana smoking. It is a drug that affects an individual’s senses and how they behave and relate to others in the society. To this extent, I do not approve of the legalization of the drug. I have also read of the other cases of medical effects such as the sterility in sperm cells, because of the deformity it ...

The Congress of the United States has been accused of being out of touch with the American people. There are many reasons that this might be the case. One such reason is the lack of term limits placed on members of Congress. (Bennett, 2012) This allows members to become congressmen or Senators and slowly assimilate into the culture of Washington DC. Many representatives spend more of their years in office in Washington than in the areas they are supposed to represent. (Reed & Schansberg, 1994) Often times, these individuals are reelected on name recognition, or party affiliation rather than on ...

Washington DC is a hub of handful wonderful places among them museums which appeal to quite a wide range of interests.

Cost price squeeze is increasing of costs when market pressures like competition make it hard to increase commodity prices in order to cover for the escalating costs. In agriculture it involves increasing costs of inputs like seeds and fertilizers and the decrease of crop prices. The farmers end up paying more than they get due to the squeeze between prices and costs. Increase of costs in upstream can be caused by energy costs fluctuation, consolidation, and inflation. When fertilizer and seed companies consolidate, there are no low cost inputs for farmers to buy. Prices on the downstream can decline ...

The systematic reviewing of the research studies ...

Learning disabilities are challenges that educators have to face while imparting knowledge and information to these individuals (Heydon, 2007). Quantification of one to have learning disabilities is based on the diagnosis, which is conducted by psychologists or qualified professionals while using battery of tests (VAN LITH et al., 2011). However, such conditions are manageable through effective and appropriate direction and support. Visibility improves the ability of an individual to comprehend the phenomena or information being expressed (Xia et al., 2011). This is because the mind tends to remember more of what is recorded in the brain through the vision ...

Fight Club is an 1999 film based on the novel of the same title by Chuck Palahniuk published in 1996.

Fight Club is a depiction of a mental disorder known as Dissociative Personality/Identity Disorder or DID, at least in a psychological point of view. Evidently, the mental imbalance suffered by the character in the film is obvious in the plot. At the beginning of the movie the narrator can ...

Creative destruction is a term used “to refer to the incessant product and the process innovation mechanism by which new production units replace outdated ones” (Schumpeter 81). Backhaus writes that “the term creative destruction is the oxymoron of creation and destruction; it appears to be a paradox. But what it means is to create the new and destroy the old and the new and the old are not on the same dimension” (Backhaus 600). Creative destruction, explain Acs and David, “is the view of the market process as the elimination of the old way of economic life, not as the achievement ...

Visit to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend an afternoon at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, particularly the Museum of American History where some of the best known exhibits which form part of our nation’s psyche are kept.

Abstract

Illegal immigration is a very sensitive concern to the America Public and it divides the nation between those who are compassionate towards its practice and others who are antagonistic; believing that this is causing harm to their country and well being as citizens.

However, illegal immigration appears to be functional since these people work illegally, pay taxes; participate in the economy; do not receive any benefits from social services, but remain here .The argument is that they are robbing legal citizens ...

The Impact of Racial Ethnic Americans.

Introduction

The purpose of this presentation is to explore ways in which people of color and minority groups are represented in various cultural forms.

Importantly, perceptions of ethnicity and racial profiling have all emerged from these socio- cultural factors. Consequently, the writer chooses to divide this paper into two distinct components. First, a brief discussion of the films ‘ethic notions,’ ‘spirit of crazy ...
