One of the biggest myths about family life in the U.S. was the myth about the stable and harmonious families that was famously depicted in 1950, even up to some 21st century films wherein the father and every member of the family enjoys their life as a part of that family. The father works hard to provide for his family, while the mother simply does the household chores. According to Eitzen et al. (2009), most husband-wife relationships were empty and in reality, members of the society lived under single-parent family banners with step-parents taking care of them. Divorce was ...

When an individual is task to observe an organization, the first thing they notice would be the demographic profile of the people working within the organization. Usually, employees are profiled according to race, gender and culture. Nevertheless, mostly overlooked is how organizations are also diversified according to age.

On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections. This therefore implies that corporations also enjoy the protection of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights (Freedom of Speech). The court case was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Levin-Waldman, 2011, 178). The above reaction to the court decision is from the liberal side and I agree. I think that the decision was not good and not respectful of the rights of citizens. Democracy is no longer powerful when ...

Privacy defines the capacity of individuals to conceal themselves or information about them. People regard a private matter as being inherently special and pertaining to the individual being or a group of people with collective interests. In this regard, the domain of privacy encompasses certain aspects such as information security as well as the need to secure information form access by unauthorized persons (Smitt et al., 2011). Various countries have privacy laws that may limit privacy in some cases in which privacy of an individual is in conflict with freedom of speech laws. In some cases, the privacy laws ...
Computer networks and the internet have radically altered the way we live and conduct business. Integrated information systems based on vast networks make up the center of operation for current business environments and governmental operations. Governments such as the United States and Canada hold sensitive information about its citizens in such computer networks. Businesses rely on networks in order to perform business transactions that use electronic transfer of money in a new business paradigm referred to as E-commerce. However, as these systems are efficient and effective in management, they present the most vulnerable systems to security breaches.

In order to sufficiently define post-modernity, we need to look at the meaning of modernity since it is the predecessor to post-modernity. Modernism simply refers to a capability of moving forward and making some progress towards a given goal. Most of the theories that led to modernity rested on personal goals whereby each person wanted to maximize his/her interests and minimize the rate of dissatisfaction that they could be exposed to. Modernity can also be used to refer to the post industrial era which had several developments taking place. In order for a person to be fulfilled in modernity, ...

1. Joint ventures can be very unstable if the partnership is not properly established. For a company like GE, with a large amount of income to invest in new partnerships and new strategies, it can certainly be beneficial to build their own venture from scratch as a greenfield venture (Business Leadership Management, 2015). However, when GE was utilizing acquisitions and greenfield ventures, the economy was a very different animal than it is today.

Ron Hubbard (DeChant and Jorgensen 304). The Hubbard Association of Scientologists was established in 1952 (305). It was a new religious movement, with its tax-free claim over revenues, which the American society came to view as a religious cult (Blythe 2). However, ...
Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young ...

The central element and aspect of the Christian Faith is the divinity of Jesus Christ, the founder of the religion.

This shows that Jesus Christ is the foundation on which the entire Christian faith is built. As such, every Christian must give reverence to Him and to His position as the pivot around which every other thing in the spiritual world revolves.

This question of infant’s causal understanding and its development will be the focus of this study. The study aims to explore the origins and how an infant’s perception of causality develops.
