Introduction

The government of the United States (US) regards the civil rights of each of its citizens with utmost importance, regardless of race, gender, or affiliation. The recognition of the importance of protecting the civil rights of every citizen renders the US government as the single largest protector.

The case of Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu v. United States (Korematsu v. US), decided in 1944, served as the first instance where ...

Introduction:

The Soviet Union was created at the end of World War II with the Communist Russian government as the controlling many of the Axis Eastern European Nations. This created an unwieldy government that could not be managed centrally. The seat of power was in Russia and it claimed the majority of the resources. This caused more and more conflicts with the satellite nations and the Union failed mainly because of economic reasons.

Context:

The Russian Revolution started in 1917 before the start of World War II. The revolution succeeded and monarchy failed for many of the same reasons that the ...

Over the years there has been a raging debate pitting Christian creationists against the atheist evolutionists. Scientific knowledge has advanced and researchers have not been able to confirm basic assumptions of the evolutionary theory. This has made the evolution theory to be discredited when compared to the Creationist theory that has stood the test of time by being consistent as expounded on the Bible. As a creationist, I fault the evolution theory because it is based on dating methods that operate on unverified assumptions. Over the years the dating has been ambiguous, in 1850 the evolutionists stated the earth ...

Introduction

World politics involve states and nations coming up together with organizations and agencies that cannot be understood independently.

Introduction

The process of decision making faces ethical dilemmas that require the application of relevant theoretical foundations. The most common theoretical foundations of ethics include utilitarianism, Kant’s categorical imperative, justice as fairness and altruism. Utilitarianism theories require decisions to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people (Johnson, 1952, p.154). Kant based his theory of categorical imperative on the premise that decision makers should focus on right decisions regardless of their costs (Johnson, 1952, p.158). The proponents of the theory of justice as fairness propose that decision makers should guarantee equal rights and opportunities even in the ...

Using force field analysis, the case can be explained effectively. The analysis suggests that implementation of change in an organization requires evaluation of the costs and benefits of the proposed change. Changing the current bureaucracy in the organization to self managed teams leads to reduced turnover and lowered costs in the organization.

The change also facilitates easy decision making in the organization. The costs of the change are that some managers will lose their managerial authority. The analysis ...

Please discuss what could be done (by society, couples, families, courts etc.) to help children of divorce to have better outcomes.

Response to the Question:

One strongly believes that children of divorced parents should be accorded with as much support from the nearest authoritative source possible: from both parents, despite the separation, from the nearest relatives who children are most affectionate with, and even from educators who have been duly informed of the matter. The divorce itself could be devastating for parents and children alike. As such, children, especially those in their tender ages, must be provided with holistic support in terms of ...

Organized crime is fully represented by the protection rackets. War making and state making uses protection rackets as a typical example of organized crime. Organized crime is influenced by the expanding impact or role played by the powerful countries in the supplying of military organizations and arms to the third world countries. The government offers both internal and external protection to its citizens and charges a price for the service hence qualifying it as racketeering. The power holders extract resources that are relevant in the process of war making and state making from the population to which he or ...

In the history, man’s self interested has been dominated by the idea of self interest with the aim of concluding a dominion over those with no or little power in the absence of rule of law to protect them. The monster of Habeas Corpus has been around in circulation for many years despite the fact that it sets back to many years unidentified.

In “Am I My Genes?” Dr. Robert Klitzman states that there are about 5,000 diseases where there is good genetic data available for a pre-disposition for that disease (Donovan, 2012). In “Cracking Your Genetic Code” the program states that having some mutations, like the one for Huntington ’s disease is absolute, while other mutations just show an increased chance of the disease, which is much harder to interpret (Nova, 2012). Further, it should be realized that different sequencing companies at this point look at different parts of the genes so the results can be contradictory. In “Personal DNA ...

When a person shows excessive obsession to any activity and witnesses intrusive thoughts then he or she is likely to suffer from compulsive behavior. This type of behavior makes a person perform an action repeatedly because he or she is unable to suppress his or her desires- these desires are often unbeneficial for the person. Compulsive behavior is not similar to physical addiction like drug or alcohol dependence; however it is still very dangerous and should not be ignored (O'Guinn & Faber, 1989, p. 147-150). The wide range of compulsive behaviors includes the routine activities that somehow dominate the life ...

The eugenics movement is a movement that advocates for measures that would improve the genetic makeup of the population. Prior to its discrediting after the Second World War, eugenics played a significant role in the United States. The American eugenic movement traces its background to Francis Galton, who was a cousin of Charles Darwin. The eugenics movement had many famous and well-known backers such as Henry Ford and J.H. Kellogg as well as the support of various institutions. Michigan was the first state to attempt to pass laws promoting eugenics and Indiana became the first state to pass eugenics ...

Elisa’s answer on water as liquid gold is right. In many places of the world, water determines the necessity of life. In Africa, where water is scarce, famine and diseases are rife. In cities, water is ideally necessary to sustain life. The usage of water for drinks and sanitization is necessary for the survival of humankind. According to Starr, the Wright Act established in 1887 ensured a quick flow of irrigation so that water can be supplied around California (p. 168). As such, it becomes necessary that Elisa’s response is adequate except for the fact that the ...

In life, the issue of stereotype is inevitable, especially with diversity. It is worth noting that stereotypes always adopt a specific way whereby they view other people in a certain way.

This paper will define and give examples of different types of figurative language with their appropriate usage. The examples of figurative words are idioms, amphibole, metaphors, analogies, euphemisms, cliché among others.

1). “The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistical and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them , for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind. Failure makes people bitter and cruel.” (Maugham). Response: I agree with this quote that it is a mistake to believe that success can make a person “vain, egotistical and self-complacent.” I believe that the most successful people are also the most humble. I believe that success tempers the qualities of being driven and passionate along with humility. Being successfully teaches us to know when to listen and when ...

However, the commodity has experienced immersed controversy though out California’s history citing battles of dynamite blasts in the past to the present day battles in court rooms and the United States congress over who gets how much of the valuable reserve.

1. The history of racial tensions in California can be traced to the stress experienced at the time foreigners (Spaniards) forcefully took the native lands and established mission schools, introduced foreign crops and used locals as farm workers.

The European-American servicemen disliked the sight of Latinos socializing in clothing that they considered unpatriotic and extravagant during wartime.

1). “We got our own rules.” (Irving). Response: The apple picking crew at Ocean View Orchards keeps on ignoring the list of rules they are supposed to follow every season and when Homer asks the why this is so, this quote is the explanation that he gets.

I believe this quote teaches an important lesson that at times rules that do not make sense tend to prevent us from doing something that is morally right. In ...

Despite ensuring enforcement of the local law, the military officers also misused the local and even took away their properties.

Introduction

Disruptive innovation involves the whole process of creating new markets for an array of products. The idea of disruptive innovation is best explained by Christensen, C. M. (2003) as the creation of new value networks and markets, something that would cause disruptions in the existing market. Disruptive technology has created a competitive advantage for many business organizations, where a new and more superior product or service is introduced to the market. This knocks out the competitors since the products or services do not exist on the general market. Superior goods and services would, therefore, force the general existing market ...
