Q. 1: The Defendant’s Competence to Stand Trial

No, the defense team feels that the defendant is not competent to stand trial. This is because Mr. Stu Dents must have been suffering from delusions at the time of the commission of the alleged crime. From the evidence obtained in the Journal entries containing references to aliens, God, and the end of the world, it is argued on the defendant’s behalf that he was suffering from some mental defect which made him have a deluded feeling that killing was a way of “fulfilling his destiny.” Moreover, the defendant’s combative, irrational, and agitated behavior at the time ...

The risk of non-compliance and non-conformance is critical in the development of any system and impacts the success of the development at hand. For developers, taking risks and being innovative is critical in the course of finding new solutions or developing new ideas. However, it is important to observe regulatory requirements that are set in the regulatory domain to ensure aspects such as safety and performance quality are observed (MasterControl, 2017). FDA and ISO regulations, in particular, are quality system regulations and concepts that require organizations or individuals to understand the regulatory obligations for the product or services they ...

The proliferation of science and technology has led to the need for technical leadership in organizations. A technical leader is often responsible for leading a scientific or technical team in a given organization.

Question 1: What drives the basic economies of the airline industry? The refining industry?

The revenue side of the airline industry is driven by the amount of passengers an airline can carry per flight. A common index is the percentage of filled seats: if it is low on a flight, that flight may be unprofitable. Fuel costs may represent 30 to 50% of total operating costs in the airline industry (Grassbaugh, 2013). For the refining industry, the cost of crude oil is the major driver (Grassbaugh, 2013). Hence, when the price of crude falls, refining margins tend to rise.

Question 2: How is Delta different from other airlines?

The work is arguably one of the most important aspects of the lives of human beings. Yet, it may differ, person to person, and more importantly, it may vary across various cultures. The culture may determine, one's work etiquette, behavior norms and even schedule of the work. In this essay, I argue, that American culture is distinctly more focused on working around the clock while European culture is known for its relatively relaxed attitude towards the work. By using broad terms such as American and European culture, I intend to use these two terms in a very wide context. ...

The world has been awoken to the realization that there is a possibility that dominant cultures are getting fused together with the subordinate ones and that there is emerging a significant shift that is best described as the politics of difference. In the article What Is This “Black” in Black Popular Culture? Stuart Hall seeks to show how Black forms of popular culture have been seamlessly fused into mainstream culture and have been incorporated into the dominant Western or European culture. What that means is that there is a new spurt of intellectual consciousness that have included new conceptions ...

12 Angry Men is a play written by Reginald Rose which deals with various topics describing human nature. People have to deal with prejudice, misconceptions and intuition by being devoted and taking time to find the truth.
