For instance in United States nearly 9 billion chickens are slaughtered for meat. Another 100 million animals loses their lives in tests and experiments. Additionally, 3 to 4 million dogs and cats are euthanized yearly which adds to the number of animals lost yearly. Felthous (163) has noted that leather industry is not safe either because approximately 1 billion animals are slaughtered for ...

The following are examples of product adaptations in foreign markets:

- Chicken Maharaja Mac This product was developed by McDonald’s specifically for India because Indians do not eat beef because it is prohibited by their religion, Hinduism. Indians consider cows as sacred. To adapt to this regional belief, McDonald’s developed the Chicken Maharaja Mac, instead of offering the Big Mac, which is made of beef. It is a “double filling of the perfectly browned chicken breast that lightly flirts with a mixture of onions, lettuce, tomato, and gooey cheese or sesame bedecked bread buns”. This adaptation to the culture of India has made McDonald’s more successful ...

In the article Discovering Your Authentic Leadership by George, Sims, McLean & Mayer (2011), the main points are that there are no set traits or characteristics that make one a leader and as such, a person does not have to be born with such set of traits in order to become an authentic leader. Instead, authentic leadership is borne out of an understanding of one’s life story, especially from the way they’ve overcome the difficulties they’ve experienced in their lives. Authentic leaders have an awareness of who they are and try to stay true to who they ...

The theory was developed by two psychologists in the year 1908 namely, Robert M. Yerkes and John D. Dodson. This theory suggests that performance gets affected by the increased or decreased levels of arousal. It increases with psychological arousal but at the same time it starts decreasing when arousal level reaches too high. Everyone has different levels of arousal which is a very common phenomenon. Let’s take an example to understand this idea. An athlete performs usually better in ...

According to the American Sociological Association, sociology is characterized as a study of social change, social life as well as the social causes and the consequences of a person’s behaviour. In essence, it facilitates the understanding of culture. This paper answers how a university president may answer the question, "Is sociology important?” Equally, sociology is important to presidents because it gives meaning to democracy. Apart from the surface meaning of democracy, i.e. the majority rule, it provides presidents with a deeper meaning that brings liberation to the general society. Democracy is characterized by a society where an individual ...

Jonathan Swift’s satire, entitled Gulliver’s Travels, deals with all general flaws of humanity, including but not limited to weakness, stupidity and greed. He utilizes everyday topics such as politics, science and human relations, and criticizes them under the guise of telling a story about a man’s odyssey into the unknown lands. Swift’s final part of his misanthropic tale lands his protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, in the land of the Houyhnhnms, which will eventually turn out to be a utopia for him. However, as it is usually the case in life, all is not as it seems, ...

Both Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus Rex and William Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello share some characteristics, such as an heroic yet tragic figure whose own character flaw brings about the final tragedy. In both plays, the main character’s wife dies as a result of the husband’s flaw. However, some essential differences exist between the plays. In Oedipus Rex, fate plays a central role in determining what happens to the main character, but in Othello, a very human antagonist sets the sequence of tragic events in motion. In each play, the playwright establishes the protagonist as heroic. In Oedipus Rex, ...

Hinduism and Christianity

The understanding of different religions can sometimes be made easier by comparing and contrasting key systems of belief to determine how these religions are both alike and different.

According to Buchanan (2000) the rules people make should not be confined to suit their interest only. They are external rules that govern the relationship between people in society. In this times and day no person can in a life similar to the Westphalia world. We need relationships with the outside society. No one can fully sustain themselves without the help of the external environment (Buchanan, 2000). Buchanan believes that the laws by Rawls define a past generation of events and policies. He argues this by putting across the idea that civilization and globalization does not allow for laws ...

Modern business institutions have become more and more reliant of information systems to cope with the complexity of internal business structures. The knowledge that is needed in running most of the business institutions is usually available but in dispersed bits and incomplete and contradictory forms (Gay and Salaman, 1992). Business information systems range from cell phones, websites, databases, CDs and DVDs, videotapes and games, infomercials and hypertexts among others. ...

When a middle aged Colombian woman sold her daughter – a minor – for just five dollars to a seventy year old man who was looking for young girls to have intercourse with, the world was shocked. This act was condemned as being the worst abuse to humanity, especially considering that the victim was a child that could not defend herself. The man was later sentenced to a term twenty five years imprisonment and the woman was charged with various sex crimes and sentenced to a jail term of thirty years. That same year – 2011 – the police department of Nicaragua saved ...

The Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union was already in the making long before the Truman Doctrine was announced in the spring of 1947, and in fact dated back to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. During that period, the U.S. and other Allied nations sent troops to support the anti-Communist Whites against the Reds, and then refused any diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union until 1934. Even the policy of containment was not new since during the 1920s and 1930s the Western powers attempted to create what they called a ‘cordon sanitaire’ around Communist Russia. Britain, ...

There is a serious clash between the Buddhist community and the Muslim who differ in cultural values, and religious practices (Pastor, 163). It seems as if it is a political fight between tow cultures with one wanting to dominate the ...

World War 2 took place on fronts such as the Pacific, the Atlantic, Europe and North Africa. These battle fronts were popularly known as theaters. Between 1941 until the time the war ended in 1943, the American military undertook several operations on land, air and sea in these theaters. These operations were so massive that they had major impacts on the war’s outcome.

Heteronormativity is an expression that is usually used to refer to sexual relationships with a member of the opposite sex. As such, heteronormative thinking defines this kind of sexual relationship as the only normal relationship. With this kind of thinking, other sexual relationships like homosexuality are biased by the ideas it supports. Traditionally, heteronormativity has dominated various social institutions in society, like the education, media, family and religious institutions (Castro, 36). It has remained the most dominant way of thinking also in these institutions. Most societies have been socialized to the heteronormative mode of thinking. In the contemporary society ...

The domestic policy that President Obama should tackle first is education. Increasingly, the global economy is driven by technology, science, math, and engineering, but a recent research comparing fifteen year-olds in 65 countries found that average math scores among US students ranked 31st while US science scores ranked 23rd (Strach 74). Evidently, American students have fallen behind in performance over the last three decades and the government should intervene to develop educational policies aimed at preparing students for the technology and science driven global economy. As such, President Obama should consider developing strategies with the aim of improving education, ...

Roles of Psychological Autopsy in Investigation

Introduction Psychological autopsies are a rather recent phenomenon. Most estimates on when it began do not go back much earlier than the 1950’s. It was only in the late 1960’s with the work of Edwin Shneidman on the subject matter at the L. A. Suicide Prevention Center did the practice gain recognition and popularity (Selkin, 1994). Proponents of this practice believe that autopsies are of extreme importance in determining the cause of an ambiguous death (especially one where the hard evidence from the forensic department is not conclusive). The possible usefulness of psychological autopsies is not questioned. ...

Popular culture is everything that surrounds us and people all over the world. What are the underlying causes that lead to accepting and approving this culture? According to Storey, “popular culture is always defined, implicitly or explicitly, in contrast to other conceptual technology: folk culture, dominant culture, working class culture, etc” (p. 1). There are various factors that shape what and how will the culture that we live in look like. The fact that USA is one of the leading countries in the world should not be underestimated when talking about culture as well. In this research, I would ...

In Oscar Wilde’s classic novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray” the Victorian sensibility regarding materialism and aestheticism is quite apparent. By looking at examples of materialism and its consequences in “The Portrait of Dorian Gray” we can gain a better understand of how art and material objects was valued during the Victorian Age. Materialism and aestheticism both have a place in society yet Dorian’s gradual dissension into obsession, serves as a warning that unequal social classes and the pursuit above pleasure and power above all else is indeed a dangerous path. Dorian Gray’s relationship to objects ...

The dream of flying was born more than two thousand years before anyone ever made attempts realizing that dream. The kite was the first invention by human beings to know the skies. The first ever record of kite flying was in China where a Chinese general flew a distance of around two hundred meters in order to survey their enemy's territory. The ideas in flight went on advancing and from the kite the hang gliders arose. It is crucial for one to note that the Wright brothers were responsible for the first ever air borne structure that could carry ...

Introduction

At the dawn of the 20th century, researchers and scientists have developed another approach in the process of evolution called the synthetic theory of evolution. This theory emphasizes on microevolution stipulating that the population had very little genetic change during the past generations. Paleontologist like Stephen J. Gould believes that some fossil evidence suggested that some species remained the same for several million years (anthro.palomar.edu). However, the Darwinian idea contradicts the theory and suggests a natural consequence of macroevolution, which is the slow progress of genetic change on species at a less steady rate. These ideas were created based ...

While we do not have written records from the Paleolithic Era, the vast majority of our information has been gleaned from archaeological and ethnographic comparisons to other hunter and gatherer cultures that exist more contemporaneously, to gain a bit of insight as to how these individuals lived. In the Paleolithic era, also known as the "Old Stone Age," which lasted until approximately 12,000 BC, human beings (homo sapiens) were effectively evolved to more or less how we appear now. Our brains were nearly the size of modern humans, and we were used to standing on two feet, which ...

CHAPTER III

Introduction The high incidence of oil spills have led to the adoption of different clean up techniques that help in the remediation process. However, the adoption of a specific method for the remediation of oil spill requires the systematic reviewing of the different literatures available and meta-analysed by the researchers. According to Graham (2010), the range of the different clean-up efforts varies widely depending on a number of factors that include oil type and density, water temperature, the volume of spill, proximity to shorelines, waves, currents, weather and speed of response among others. The systematic reviewing of the research ...

Question 1

This theory stresses the importance of learning. According to Dollard and Miller, one must want something (the drive), notice something (the cue), do something (the response), and get something (the reward), in order to learn. In other words, learning is realized through drive, cue, response, and reward. Human beings are born with a set of innate needs; the need for food, oxygen, water, and warmth, among others. These needs must be satisfied in order for the human being to remain alive. While the needs may be inherited, meeting the needs requires learning. At birth and when still young, human ...

Cigarettes are one of the addictive drugs that have dangerous effects to the smokers and society in general. Many people argue that the government should intervene to control the use of tobacco. However, this is not justifiable. This research will support the fact that government should not intervene to reduce the cigarette market (Taylor, 7). Looking at the revenues generated from the sale of cigarettes, reducing the market will lead to welfare loss to the society. This is because revenues will be lost if the market is recued and hence less funds will be available to the government to ...
