At its best, the relationship between the policy maker and the agent of implementation enables collaboration between the two, which in turn ensures the effective and quick implementation of policies. Not only do these policies get enacted quickly, but the said implementation initiative also has more chances of succeeding as the agents of implementation will support the policy and ensure that all the resources necessary for a successful implementation are provided (“Creating Value through Collaboration”).

On the other hand, this relationship at its worst can lead to a lack of collaboration between the policy maker and the agent of implementation, ...

Externality is when one agent’s actions directly affect another agent at the same time not altering the price of the good or service. Two types of externalities are known, negative and positive externality. Negative externality is the case when one agent’s actions cause the second agent to lose welfare, and the second agent is not compensated for that. The opposite takes place with positive externalities. When one agent’s actions cause the second agent’s welfare to increase, and if he/she is not compensated for that, then it is known to be a positive externality.

Chemical and Biological Agents and Radiation

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN): HCN is a highly toxic chemical blood agent in the form of a colorless gas.

Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss how cartoon violence affects behavioral patterns in childhood. Several researchers have confirmed that visual media can affect the behavioral development in children because they learn social norms by following examples from social agents. Cartoons are a part of the visual media industry, and that is one of the major social agents that shape perspectives, rules, and norms in society. However, data analysis indicates that cartoons for children are frequently disguised as fantasy stories, but they promote more violence than programs focused on older audiences. Chronic exposure to violence through cartoons implicates normal psychological development ...

Indeed, it is fair for the shareholders of a company to have a limited liability and for the owner of a sole proprietorship to have an unlimited liability.

Insider action research faces several challenges associated with the political dynamics of the researcher being a member of the system/community/organization he is researching. The political dynamics, if not well managed, have the potential to undermine the research endeavors and impede the planned change (Coghlan, 2007). The main challenge is the challenge of the validity of the data because the inside researcher is suspected to be biased, emotionally attached to the system/organization under study and thus what constitutes valid data is intensely contested and politicized. Other challenges include gaining access to data, using data, publishing and disseminating the results. In addition, ...
