Some experts mentioned that the original idea suffered severely from the development of consumerism in 90s. Men were turned from the so called Caveman Masculinity to other behavioral patterns that would make them buy more goods. Levant and Kopecky are examples of authors who thought masculinity is in crisis.

In the first discussion, the author expresses his intention to write a grant proposal that would attract sponsors towards his course. His interest to reduce disparities in healthcare among the minority populations and children is clearly identified. However, the second objective lacks clarity.

Business goals are primarily geared towards attaining financial gains. Other factors weigh heavily in ensuring the success of a business undertaking such as the organizational capability, management competency and market improvement strategies. Beyond these success factors, however, one aspect of running a business that is crucial in determining the performance of the business in the long term is business ethics or the application of moral theories in making business decisions. Business ethics refer to the adoption of proper business policies and practices concerning potentially controversial issues, such as corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility and fiduciary ...

Critics have questioned the authenticity of medical-related to industries support towards reforms in healthcare reforms. One might argue that these industries have decided to forgo profits in the future to gain in regarding public relations rather than support the efforts being made towards providing healthcare services access to all. According to Brody (283), a conflict of interest can be seen clearly by examining the reaction of medical professionals to these reforms. Professional medical organizations have made no promises towards reducing medical costs. Ironically, some physicians have offered to support the reforms on the condition that their income is not ...

Question: Does this representation create, reinforce or challenge stereotypes? Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Shonda Rhymes’ “Scandal” Throughout the history of television, women have been presented as passive and submissive, and have been constructed as sexual objects. However, more recently, groundbreaking television series have begun to break the gender stereotype by presenting female characters in strong, authoritative roles which were usually reserved to men. Shonda Rhymes’s “Scandal” fits in this trend, centering upon Olivia Pope, a unique character who challenges the stereotypes by presenting an empowered African American woman. However, Olivia is only one of a series of masculine ...

The recent proposal by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to convince billionaires to give up half of their wealth was well received in the USA but received a cold reaction from the German super rich.

Some of Germany’s wealthiest, however, viewed the move with skepticism and explained the move to be too flashy. Most of the German billionaires who had an adverse reaction to the proposal explained that they had previously given ...

There are different approaches to define small economies. Besides usual quantitative ways to measure country’s smallness by its population, territory, GDP and other criteria, there some qualitative factors that are used to define the economy’s scale. Some economists state that small economies are those that adopt “price taking” policies as they cannot dictate their rules in the market, neither significantly influence trade rules. This peculiarity of small economies mainly lies in the fact that such countries have limited resources. Hereby, small countries are more dependent on imports and are forced to accept trade agreements offered by large ...

Introduction

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is the state law regulating the age discrimination in employment opportunities in the US. It was implemented in 1967 to endorse work of the older employees based on their input rather than age. The Act inhibits discrimination, and assists in solving problems that come up with the aging labor force. The Act, ADEA, forbids employment discrimination based on age for employees over 40 years. The original law, enforced in 1967, covered staff between 40 to 65 years (Eglit, 1992). However, subsequent amendments raised and then abolished the upper age boundary, ending compulsory ...

According to the theory of cumulative advantage/disadvantage, the state of an individual or community, in terms of income, lifestyle, psychology, health, etc., is not due to any one factor but is an accumulation of the outcomes of many different factors. In the case of old age and retirement, many factors such as life-long income, health and mental well-being all play a role in shaping how a person’s retirement will be. Childhood and young adulthood play a vital role in many ways. It seems highly unlikely that a person’s economic status at this stage in life would be ...

Introduction

In America, Federalism came into practice when some states rejected the thought of a unitary government. Due to the large size of the country, the founding fathers allowed states to form powerful governments. State governments are used as a training ground or political labs for policing, where new ideas can be implemented and evaluated (El Camino College N.pag). In Federalism practicing states such as Florida, state government possesses the power of providing safety and public health, regulate interstate commerce, form government and conduct elections. However, Washington still carries the power of printing money, declaring war, establishing an army and ...

1. Why has Madonna been so successful in the world of entertainment? As Madonna got involved with the emerging dance scene in New York City, she was able to catch the attention of a club DJ who then introduced her to producers from Warner Bros.

This is evident when she hired Freddie DeMann to be her manager, who was formerly supposed to work with Michael Jackson. She did not hire friends that ...

Someone is just aware of the existence of such kind of donation, and there are people, whose life or the lives of their relatives, were saved thanks to some people, who shared their blood.

Description of the Social Problem: Student Debt in America:

The total outstanding amount of student loan debt in the US amounts to $ 1.2 Trillion. This is an astoundingly high amount of debt that not only directly affects the indebted students, but also has an effect on the economy of the country as whole, as well as the soundness of the fiscal system. There were around 37 million student credit borrowers with exceptional understudy advances in 2013. By Federal Reserve Bank of New York accounts, remarkable student debt obligation in the United States lies between $900 Billion and $1 Trillion with around $850 Billion in Federal understudy advance debt. ...

About 5% of the pension fund’s investments have been made in Volkswagen Group which has recently fallen prey to a major scandal. These investments face high risk, now that the company’s share price has fallen considerably. On 18th September 2015, few Volkswagen cars were found to be emitting lethal amounts of nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere despite having passed various pollution control tests. This irregularity in the diesel engines was caused due to engine management software which was deliberately fitted in each car belonging to a particular model.

Governmental Budgeting Process

A. How and where revenues are derived from the agency. The federal government can be categorized into several groups: grants, taxes, earnings, sales, balances and transfers. It is noted that for budgeting purposes, federal revenue is divided into two categories: the non-general fund and the general funds. Arguably, more than half (60%) of state funds are non-general income and set for specific purposes. For instance, gasoline taxes are set aside by law for transportation programs. On the other hand, general fund revenues tax make slightly less (40%) of the budget. These funds are mostly obtained from direct general taxes ...

Collectivist and Individualist Cultures

Introduction Cultures are naturally grouped into two: individualist and collectivist. On most of the occasions, cultures differ regarding the importance of individual welfare and group welfare. Societies where personal welfare is cherished nurture members who are more of self-promoting and dependent naturally. In contrast, collective societies highlight the significance of group welfare over the individual desires and needs, thus creating a more inter-dependent society. Because not every individual within a given society will be affected in precisely the same way, each individual claims a cultural personal-identity, which manifests some culturally recognized values. An individual’s cultural identity then offers ...

Abstract

Crude oil has been refined to make such fuels as diesel and petrol as well as industrial chemicals and lubricants. Transport activity, as a core element of economic development and a precondition of human welfare, is increasing across the globe with the growth of economies. Transport predominantly relies on such fossil resource as petroleum. The literature relevant for this study can be divided into two parts or strands: one that focuses on the demand side and another one that gives analysis to the oil market by focusing on the supply side. This paper absorbs the ideas of both strands ...

The selected Public Service Announcement (PSA) on blood donation would be applicable under conditions of man-made or natural ‘time-limited’ emergency or disaster, but it’s effectiveness in inciting a positive response would be limited. On one hand, the PSA uses a subtle language that incites the reader to respond positively to the ad. The line, ‘every 2 seconds somewhere in the world there is a need for blood transfusion’ helps the reader to grasp quickly why blood donation is necessary to save human lives. However, the PSA does not stress on the urgency of blood donation in time-limited disasters ...

Benefits resulting from Due Diligence for Responsible Business Report

CSR generates benefits for a business internally as well as for the external stakeholders. However, it is challenging to monetize the benefits of the CSR since much of the benefits are only visible in long run. In addition, the challenge comes from the fact that they are indirectly led to by the positive changes of the CSR (Sino-German, 2012). On the other hand, whether firms are likely and able to practice the CSR is highly dependent on their managers’ incentives as well as constraints that are in turn determined by their preferences, contracts, ethical beliefs and objectives. The major ...

The Campaign for Debt Relief

The problem of foreign debt is well-known to the majority of countries, yet it is especially hard for the less-industrialized economies. At some point after the Cold War ended, the support of the developing economies was canceled. Consequently, poor states have found themselves in the dead end where growing external debt limited the ability of the country to reduce poverty and satisfy basic human needs. While such organizations as IMF and World Bank tended to pursue their own interests, it was recognized that the current system makes the developing countries struggle for survival making the wealthy country even wealthier. ...

Question 1 The results of the Commission on Inquiry Report are somewhat depressing and dismal which is not the objective of a hospital or health care institution. The complaints from the report were as follows: assaulted, neglected and left to die patients under grave conditions; uncaring healthcare providers; and lack of sufficient care for patients who need more than medication. These are clear indications of the hospitals’ lack of concern to the welfare of their patients and lax and sloppy hospital administration. However, there are times that the administrations of ...

Options to Prevent Elimination of Social Security and Medical Benefits

Over the last few years, the overall costs growth rates of both social security and Medicare reserves have exceeded the growth in interest and non-interest income. Thus, it is necessary to put in place various measures that will avoid elimination of these essential benefits (Blahous & Reischauer, 2015). The first recommendation is that legislation needs to be passed to allow the expenditures of one program to be financed by another program’s taxes and reserves. This is because trustees usually emphasis on the financial status of hypothetically combined funds. In this case, shortages of one fund will be financed by ...

Purpose of the study This study looks into the interpersonal complex trauma and mental health in children and adolescents placed under foster care. The research looks deeper into the histories of such traumas as many Child Welfare Systems do not usually screen for instances of trauma exposure. The study also examines complex trauma exposure in children and adolescents.

in a 5-4 decision in favor of Citizens United. The decision effectively eliminated the ban on corporate spending in elections. It ruled that campaign donations and campaign spending constitute free speech and that corporations are people (Barnes). The Citizens

United ruling also stipulated that people can contribute up to $5,200 per candidate per

election cycle ($2,600 each for both the primary and the general election) and make unlimited contributions to single-candidate super PACs on top of that.(Levy 1).

The 2012 Presidential Campaign was a minefield of disparaging rhetoric between candidates Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. However, the most derogatory remarks were leveled at the American population itself, especially by Romney and other conservative Republican leaders such as his then-running mate, Senator Paul Ryan. Ryan has used caustic rhetoric directed towards struggling Americans, characterizing them as lazy, entitled welfare recipients. However, his statements are based on falsehoods and calculated distortions which defend the mega-rich of the US, the financial elite who have capitalized off their own version of corporate welfare. Nearly every community in the US has ...
