Matter is anything that has mass and occupy space. The smallest particle of matter is referred to as an atom. An atom is the basic substance of the matter. An atom consists of; tiny subatomic substance. These substances are; proton, electron, and neutron. The protons are positively charged; electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. The atom is divided into two parts, the center that consists of the neutrons and proton and the outer part which consist of the electrons.
An atom has different properties; a physical property can be seen and observed without ...

Physical property of a substance is that property which can only be observed but cannot be changed. They include color, volume and weight. On the other hand, a chemical property is that property of a substance which can only be observed through changing the chemical composition of the substance.

Difference between physical and chemical reactions

A physical reaction does not evolve a new matter. A chemical reaction on the other hand produces a new substance.

How different an element is from a compound

An element is a pure chemical material composed of the same type of atom. A compound on the other hand is entailed of atoms of unlike elements that are chemically combined together.
Elements in the ...

Introduction

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is a group of technologies that received recognition in 21 century. CCS process consists of collection and concentration of CO2 emitted from combustion of fossil fuels with further transportation to special storage locations. The reason for storing carbon dioxide away is related Greenhouse effect and its influence on global warming process. The main goal of carbon capture technologies is to stabilize the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is expected that implementation of CCS technologies will make it possible to reduce the total emission of CO2 up to 54% (to 450 ppmv). ( ...

The concept of political development seems to be quite a simple one on its face. Without investigating the role of the state too deeply, it is clear to see that in general, there are distinctions between the developmental levels of states around the world; while poverty exists in every nation, there are some that are much more stricken with the problem than others. In addition, relative levels of poverty within a nation is a scalable phenomenon—that is, levels of poverty and the very meaning of poverty can change across different political landscapes around the world. The conceptualisation of ...

In both of Ernest Hemingway’s short stories “The Killers” and ‘The Old Man at the Bridge,” a character faces the probability of death. In “The Killers,’ a former prizefighter learns that two assassins have been hired to kill him, while in “The Old Man at the Bridge,” an elderly man stays at the likely site of an impending wartime conflict. Each of them faces the prospect of death in a similar way, seemingly calmly accepting that their death is imminent. However, the reaction of the other characters in the two stories differs. The scout in “The Old Man at the Bridge” ...

The strain theory is the theory that best describes why people commit crime because it provides the most logical rationale compared to the other theories of crime. According to this theory, negative emotions including anger and frustration arise from strains and stress. Although the other theories of crime have valid explanations, none of them seem as logical as the Strain Theory.
According to the Strain Theory, the reaction to negative emotions caused by a strain or stress leads some individuals to engage in criminal behavior. Individuals commit crime to reduce the strain or stress. A strain or stress occurs ...

Introduction

Pragmatically, the deviant behaviour of white-collar criminals provides students of sociology a different exploration of how human nature works in clandestine operations in plain view. Society, at least superficially does not suspect a so-called white-collar individual of criminal behaviour in general, as stereotypes tend to lead people’s thoughts in the direction one way or another. While, the dishevelled, unkempt, anti-social “looking” individual exists as suspect of deviant behaviour by his/her mere appearance including labelled as a criminal in some regards, the white collar individual stands in society appearance wise as an upstanding citizen (Goode 2008).

Historically, the concept of white collar is not so new:

Edwin Sutherland created the concept of ...

What is ‘risk’ and how can it be accomplished successfully? You are required critically to analyze the concept of risk; discuss how it can be measured and ranked and outline how a project risk management strategy may be constructed.
Risk is the capability of losing something that is worth; weighed against the possibility to increase something that has quality. Qualities might be gained or lost when one takes a risk which results from a given action and/or inaction, predicted or unforeseen. Risk can also be characterized as the purposeful communication with vulnerability (Altemeyer 2004). Risk perception is the subjective judgment individuals ...

Literature:

Reader-response theory, also referred to as reader-response criticism, generally refers to a category of literature theories that the reader at centre of interpreting and giving meaning to a piece of literature work (in this case poetry). The theory, emphases on the audience /reader’s reaction to a literature work than on the work itself. In fact, the theory suggests that the text (poem) cannot exist without the reader and thus cannot be interpreted and/ or understood in the absence of the reader’s reaction. As such, reader-response criticism renders literature a performing art with the reader as an active agent that gives the ...

Sexual assault is one of the most demeaning acts any individual can go through. According to Kaitlynn’s experience, sexual assault is psychologically damaging in several way. Sexual assault experience raises concern on our role as members of the society who are, in one way or another, affected by sexual assault. The lifestyle in campus where people interact greatly at personal levels that appear too intimate to count resulting violence as assault; complicates the scenario for the accused and raises the stake for all involved.
Sexual assault psychologically damages the victim. To begin with, it breaks one’s spirit ...

Line

In this work, line plays a very important role. The visual space if filled with thick, bold, and fluid lines. Some lines are straight and create a division between more organic, wavy lines. Some of these wavy lines run parallel to one another. Lines also work to create a strong sense of depth and value in this particular work. The effect of the use of lines in this work is that it creates a sense of movement and calm at the same time.

Shape

The sense of shape in this work is very abstract at times, and quite geometric at ...

ETHICS BEHIND USE OF INFORMERS TO NAIL NARCOTICS SUSPECTS

Law enforcement agencies in the United States have resorted to using all possible means to curb drug abuse especially cutting the chain of drug trafficking. In that case, the predominant practice within the anti-narcotics departments is to employ the services of informers who are allowed to infiltrate the criminal gang and get information that may assist in convicting targeted suspects. In fact, the informers are trained and allowed to participate in the crimes so long as they get the relevant evidence. They can only engage in such an endeavor having been granted virtual immunity because of their cooperation. This ...

Stanley Milgram who was a psychologist from Yale, conducted a well-known experiment about obedience which is relevant for human psychology. This happened in 1963 and the experiment was related to the fact that people were in conflict between their own conscience and obeying authority. Milgram was seeking for explanation of people who committed genocide because they were ordered to do so during WWII and he found out that obedience is a powerful impulse.
Milgram was inclined to believe that people tend to obey the authority because it is a tactic for survival. “For many people, obedience is a deeply ...

1. Legitimacy
a. What is legitimacy? What role does it serve in governance? Illustrate your response with examples.
In politics and governance, legitimacy is a term that is attributed to a regime, administration or institution that possesses widespread acceptability, support and trust from the public at large (Hague and Harrop 2013). It is this attribute that usually gives a political entity the right to govern and the right to exact obedience from its subjects. Legitimacy, particularly political legitimacy, is said to result from consent, beneficial consequences, and public reason and public approval. The consent theory as related to political ...

Hall, Ward, and Comer’s (1988) “Published Educational Research”

Abstract

In this educational research analysis, the topic is about the quality of published educational research articles. The authors’ main research question is about the quality of previously published articles based on the evaluations of 178 volunteer judges. The quantitative research methods consisted of integrated literature review, random selection of judges, and evaluation instruments. In the data analysis, chi square value of 11.28 (df = 6) suggested that the distribution of quality among the three types of evaluated journal articles were significant at alpha = .02, which suggested that primarily research and related ...

Civil Liberties and Social Responsibility

In 2002, as reported by The New York Times, the Bush administration approved a presidential bill giving the National Security Agency (NSA) the power to track, listen to, and intercept without a warrant the local and international communications (e.g. emails, phone calls) of a vast number of American citizens. Sooner or later, the scheme expanded to involve a certain extent of 'internal controls' (ACLU, 2015, para 2), yet there was no mention of mandating warrants specified under the foreign intelligence surveillance laws. This surveillance program has penetrated and invaded almost all of the communications technologies and networks that the ...

The story gives some clues to understand why Diaz thinks about Yunior's motion sickness. Firstly, the father warns the mother not to feed him before the car travels. Thus, when Yunior is full driving, it is relatively higher possibility that he will vomit. Thus, his stomach is sensitive to the motion, and if his stomach is empty, he can stay without vomiting in the traveling car.
Also, in the car, Yunior tries to stay still. There might be two reasons behind this: 1) he does not want to attract his father's attention on him and 2) he wants ...

Q.1
The five basic assumptions of positivism in law are realism, objectivity, scientific evidence, and ultimate proof is unattainable. The realism operates in order to impress investigators to face the reality without letting their emotions cloud their judgments. The objectivity wants them to focus on objectives without getting hurt from the presence of obstacles and problems in the way of solving the crime. The good investigator always follows the evidence because it does not lie, but people do in order to hide their wrongdoings. The final assumption argues that ultimate proof is not possible to be found, and ...

Introduction

The theory of knowledge obligation is an essential key to the educational philosophy. From a philosophic point of view, neutral question is the question that is obvious interpreted from a questioner who has not vested any interest on the answer. In other words, the questioner will accept the answer that is given out or emerges from anyone. Neutral question is a leading question in the argumentative essay that is well distinguished in the legal world of philosophy. In this case, witnesses are asked questions that are designed and produce a certain answer that will settles the questioner’s prove and will. However, collecting ...

High-yield explosives are explosives that have a great amount of potential energy that produces explosions once they release energy suddenly. The explosions are usually having loud sound, light, heat, and pressure accompanying them. The energy so contained may be chemical energy as in the case of grain dust or nitroglycerin, pressurized gas as it is in aerosol cans, or nuclear energy as that produced by plutonium-239 or Uranium-235. The explosives are categorized based on the rate of reaction within its components. Those explosives with the reaction faster than the speed of sound are “high-explosives”. The materials that a slower than the ...

I believe in causal determinism that means that every event (except maybe the first one) was caused by what came before.
Casual determinism states that all events, including human action and choices, are ultimately necessitated and determined by preceding events, which are influenced by the laws of nature. The idea of casual determinism is in par with the scientific theory in holding this reality but raises an objection from the free will concept. Physics gives a reason to doubt the certainty of determinism using the probabilistic theory that shows no certainty in the occurrence of events. Since the laws ...

Taking into account the sources of Islamic law, what changes did the ulama in Persia undergo during the reign of Shah Abbas I (1587-1629) that would have direct influence on the Iranian Revolution of 1979?
Shah Abbas (or Abbas I) hated sunnies and he suggested a new denomination to people: Twelver Shiism. Shah Abbas and many other traditional religious people were against any change in Iran. They wanted to follow the belief of Shiism.

Question 1

Collective bargains and labour relations are usually associated with adversarial approaches. However, there are also ways the adversarial approach can be avoided. Normally, there are two opposing sides, each seeking to have its terms accepted in the collective bargains. In other cases, the labour relations are aggressive such as holding demonstrations. However, the compliance and collaboration strategy can be used effectively without causing adversarial impacts. In this case, both parties agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the bargaining process or labour agreements. The parties then collaborate in working towards achieving the collective bargains or improving labour ...

This essay discusses the application of the concepts ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. Ethnocentrism is defined as “the tendency to apply one’s own cultural values in judging the behavior and beliefs of people raised in other cultures” (Kottack 44). An opposite concept is cultural relativism which means that a “particular culture should not be judged by the standards of another” (Kottack 44). I have a particular experience involving food practices which I am evaluating using these two concepts.

Psychology

Phobias are common in people but why in a modern urban world would people be afraid of snakes or dangerous spiders? Öhman, Flyki, and Esteves (2001) have done several experiments to try to understand why and how people with phobias of snakes and/or spiders react to photographs of them. The experiments used photographs of snakes, spiders, flowers or mushrooms in order to time the difference in people’s ability to identify the items that frightened them versus the items that did not have any fear-relevance for them.

The experiments were based on identifying the selective attention of the participants. That ...

Team Work

Team work is an effort of a group of individuals who come together with an aim of facing a common situation and tackling the task towards success. This requires that each team member be ready to lead and also prepare to be lead at one point or another. It requires an overall group focus on the common mission to override the individual goals of each member. Therefore, at some point, everyone has to sacrifice for the rest of the members (Parker, 2011).
