Worries about a decline in the birth rate are nothing new, at least in many developed nations. As early as 1909, Hoffman made it perfectly clear that a love for babies was not the reason that some in the U.S. fretted over the declining number of births. Rather, it was concern over the decreasing rate of births among “native white married women” while the “rate of reproduction [was] materially higher among the foreign element” (p. 676). Similar concerns are in evidence today in places such as Israel, where the comparatively high rate of births among the Arab population has ...

Studies on psychology and cognition have shown that a child’s language has a great impact on his/her ability to regulate his emotions and behavior. In order for two people to understand and share meaning with one another, a clear ground should first be laid out to avoid misunderstandings. A study involving 120 children aged 18 months to 4 years old showed that participants who had superior language skills expressed less anger upon reaching 4 years old (Roben, Cole, & Armstrong, 2012). Most children in their early stages learn to use language as a means of self-expression and self-regulation, because ...

Abstract

Developed countries have long agreed that there is a necessity to assist developing countries if the world is to develop continuously without issues. These developing countries have the capacity to compete against developed countries if they are given enough support and education on how they can bolster their development.

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways. It appears that, contrary to the popular misperception, democracy is not necessarily a lack of restraint and complete discretion or at least a range of freedom like the right to media. Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by Joanne K. Rowling is the first book in a series of novels about Harry Potter, a young magician.

Something that may initially seem to be just products of Rowling’s imagination turns out to be real things rooted in history and traditions, fairy tales and myth. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’ ...

Based on the example of the Amos Yee case, we would like to demonstrate and analyze the work of the media towards the definition of deviation, or more simply how the media affect the formation of the generally accepted norms of behavior. In general, the media always overestimated an importance to the public opinion. The journalists are always trying to build information in the form, in which it will be taken by as many people as possible.

Introduction

The origin of this principle is from an Italian by name of Vilfredo Pareto. In 1906 he realized the unfair distribution of wealth in America and that’s when he came up with the formula that 20% of the people owned 80%of the wealth. Later a Dr Joseph Juran would apply the same principle to demonstrate that 20% are vital while 80% are trivial. His observation summarized as vital few, trivial many. This was called Paretos principal of 80/20 rule (Ng, Yew-Kwang, 1983).
