Giving artificial contraceptives, or in some helping to acquire, to women in the third world countries is not an absolute solution to the underdevelopment in these countries. The drugs only reduce the birth rates in these countries but do nothing to other economic factors such as unemployment and job creation. Contraceptives are, therefore, a short term solution to underdevelopment problem.
For a long, the United States government has been known to provide aid to countries in need. In some way, contraception reduces the population of an environment in the long run. Helping agencies that avail contraceptives to people in the ...

Role of Marketers and Parents

The KGOY (or kids getting old younger) phenomenon is a situation wherein a young children pretend to be much older than their age and try to look mature. Researchers have mixed findings about whether this phenomenon was brought about by marketers or not. However, research has shown that marketers actually have a market segment defined as KGOY. That means they develop advertising and marketing campaigns precisely to tap and develop this market. The segment is fairly detailed and even has sub-segments as age group. The Barbie doll is one example of a toy that encourages young girls to aspire not only to become ...

Focus Of Juvenile Justice

It is true that to some degree, a number of juvenile delinquents who are detained know and understand the severity of their crime or offenses. Instead of coming up with punishments, like that of the adult system, it is important that juveniles are given rehabilitation. This means that the focus should be on allowing the juvenile delinquent back in to society if the rehabilitation process proves to be successful.
Young juvenile delinquents still have their future ahead of them. If detained for their crimes, they will not be able to focus on their career, family, etc. This means that, ...

Executive Summary

This case study looks at the increasing numbers of as yet unsentenced (and therefore potentially either innocent or guilty of any offence) young people on remand in Queensland, where – in common with other states in Australia – “Efforts are primarily focused on the rehabilitation of young offenders so that even after the establishment of guilt, detention is seen as a last resort.”(Mazerolle & Sanderson, March 2008) (p.1). Because custodial remand brings young people formally into the justice system and into close contact with what Mazerolle & Sanderson refer to as “deviant peers” (p.1), it can increase the possibility of (re)offending, too. ...

One considers both the Tuskegee and Stanford experiments as unethical and inhuman. Both experiments are against human rights. Those who designed the experiments failed to realize what bad effects their experiments will have on their subjects. With regards to the Tuskegee experiment, one thinks that no experiment should be allowed if it will result in the death of those who will participate. It is cruelty at its peak. The participants of the Tuskegee experiment were not informed properly of what the purpose of the experiment is and what they will be subjected to. The experiment took advantage of the ...

I recall an incident 6 years ago when I was in high school, which to this day continues to baffle me. The incident was a negotiation involving my father and a potential employee at one of his shops. My father had been in the process of setting up a new business and had opted to carry out the interviews for his potential employees at home. Not only did he feel that this would provide a less intimidating atmosphere for his potential employees, but also that it would allow him to comfortably express his culture and expectations without too much effort.

In the case study involving the flu strain spreading in urban Minnesota, there certainly is a moral dilemma, as there would be in any situation where one has a vaccine for a potentially deadly disease but not enough of that vaccine to protect all of the members of a given population. In the case of the influenza, it is a frightening disease. Between September of 1918 and June of 1919, 675,000 Americans died of either pneumonia or influenza, easily more than the number of Americans killed in both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam (Redican). Intriguingly, though, it was the young adults, normally among ...

Arguably, in the past decades researchers have established program modes and intervention strategies that will help in promoting social development, as well as reducing juvenile delinquent behaviors. These programs and strategies have various objectives and goals in several states. Preventing juvenile delinquent behaviors saves life of young people from being wasted, prevents adult crimes in the future, as well as reducing the burden of crime on society and the victim. Perhaps, it costs the city a lot of dollars to prosecute, arrest, treat and incarcerate juvenile offenders. Hence, the use of delinquency-prevention programs saves a lot of taxpayers’ money, which is ...

Perez case study

Although the term identity cannot be defined with precision, it often refers to the internalized system, which is responsible for individual’s self-definition, uniqueness and commonalities expression, as well as for the distinction between the outside world and the inner self. Identity is mostly socially constructed and it is formed according to the definitions provided by the others and to the social context, which is communicated to a person already in the childhood. Although children have the choice to accept or reject societal definitions, social influence is very powerful in determining the way one’s identity is being built (Steinberg, ...

Over the years, the Singapore government had been operating on a two airline policy that had promoted efficient interaction between the government-owned Singapore airline, and its national competitor, Silvertail Airlines. For about 10 years, the duopoly worked so well until 1990 when other competitors joined the airline industry, following the airline deregulation policies adopted by the government. Consequently, the share price of Silvertail Airline Company started changing due to the friendly services such as low cost charges offered by its major competitors. This wind of change prompted a transformation in the company’s board of directors, which was replaced ...

Workers have different feelings towards everything within the workplace. The attitudes of the teenage and student employees, especially in the hospitality sector, are of great ethical importance since they determine how these workers treat the clients, how seriously they take their work, and whether they will steal from the business or not (Rogojan 6). This paper explores a case study and will attempt to establish how typical are the attitudes that Sheehy reports. The paper will also show how Sheehy’s description of a new work ethics matches with my own experiences.

Domestic violence has adverse impacts on the development of a child. In fact, the emotional turmoil created by growing up in such an environment heightens the chances of the infant engaging in rebellious activities such as drug abuse and other denial behaviors in their youth.

Since she witnessed her mother withstand the abuse she received from his father, she felt obliged to keep up with his ...

Why is it that you are probably not eating at McDonald's? How would you define the 'Millennial' Challenge?

People may not be eating as often as before at McDonald’s because they may be growing tired of McDonald’s menu. Nothing really great has changed through generations. Besides, the quality of food is not really good. The fastfood chain’s chief advantage is speed, but even perception of that seems to be deteriorating. People’s taste for food may have also changed, especially with so many migrants around and global influence. Image seems to be another problem. The idea of a kiddie place and a clown might not seem cool to teenagers and people in their 20s. McDonald’s ...

Based on the three customer personas, which customer segment should Ontela target?

The company should concentrate its energy on the promotion of application to persona 1 (Sarah, the Parent). First of all, the segment of parents after 40 years is quite wide. Also, due to constant workload with home staff, this category of customers doesn’t have time for understanding every know-how. However, parents always want to see children’s development, and memories are very important for them. Unfortunately, there is no never-ending memory on devices, so to store photos, which size is quite volume, makes it problematic to take new ones before transfer them to bigger space. The category of ...

Why the U.S. Has the Highest Incarceration Rate in the Western World

ABSTRACT

Since over 70% of the U.S. prison population is black or Hispanic, even though these groups are only 25% of the population, racial disparities in arrests, convictions and sentencing are really the main reason that this country has a higher incarceration rate than any other advanced Western democracy. Indeed, it has more people incarcerated than all other Western nations combined, and for much longer sentences. Overwhelmingly, these offenders have been convicted on drug charges, and even though minorities use narcotics at the same rate as whites, they are ...

Citigroup would use the huge DTA’s to shield future profits from taxation to a tune of $38 billion.
