Introduction

‘Leadership’ and ‘Change’ are interlinked in a very important way, they actually complete each other and it will not be wrong if we say that if there is a Leadership it will always bring a change or vice-versa.

Leaders have always changed the course of time and have brought revolutions in the fields like Politics, Spiritualism, Management, Science and Arts etc. However though all these may be defined under the definition of success the path obtained to achieve success is different for all leaders; ...

The Communist Manifesto

Introduction
First published as Das Kommuniste Che Manifest, the Communist Manifesto was commissioned by the communist league, a political organization formed by working class individuals in northern Europe.

SURVIVAL AND SUBVERSION

In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the Federal government enacted the 13th Amendment freeing the slaves and the 14th Amendment, which granted African Americans citizenship. In 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed, which gave black males the right to vote. In a few short years after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, African-American enfranchisement was the law of the land. And yet, in a vast region that had been conquered in a long and bloody war, social change was superficial. In practical terms, there was little difference between slavery and the world in which former slaves lived. Segregation was an absolute ...

Introduction

The provision of foreign aid to North Korea (officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is a contentious issue, perhaps due to the negative image of the nation in question brought by its repressive regime and myriad of human rights violations. While the United States of America (US) took on the arduous task of providing foreign aid to North Korea in the mid-1990s, it halted such efforts in 2009, despite the ongoing food shortage there. What motivated the US towards such direction is the regime’s inefficiency in distributing aid, mainly due to its resistance of reforms. Apart from ...

Introduction

The idea of slavery for many people is the images of black men in cotton plantations, working a whole day for no pay. The trade of African people for lifetimes of slavery is the other embedded idea of slavery to many people living in Canada and United States. These concepts of slavery ignore the possibility of a current form of slavery. The idea that slaves are working forcefully without pay in Canada and the United States is farfetched. This status of ignorance acts as part of the modern day slavery, where people, especially young girls, are sold for purposes ...

Africa has traditionally been a continent of mixed fortunes, where real-life stories of hope and despair abound. African traditions, values and customs have been slowly influenced by colonization and eventual globalization that has turned the world into a global village. The novel, Things fall apart, is a reflection of the extent to which Africans were tied to their beliefs and customs, as a violation of those customs was regarded as being disrespectful to the gods. Resistance to the new values and beliefs as brought by the missionaries are resisted since the communities regard them as inclined on disrupting the ...

Introduction

Bureaucracy as a management of an organization by non-elected officials has long been there in society and firms since 20th century. This form of organization is prevalent both in the public and private sector. The evidence of techno-management or technology management being usurped by bureaucracy is plentiful. For example, techno-managers need for control and domination is evidenced by their language at work by use of words and phrases such as “how many people work for you?”, “subordinates,” “my people” and “staying on top of things,” etc. These indicate the necessity of separating bureaucracy from techno-management; while doing so, one encounters ...

There are but a few eras in the history of the United States that can rival the 1960s in terms of political turbulence and social unrest. This period was marked by widespread anxiety regarding race, gender, social class, and generational divide, not to mention the political chasm between the government and the more youthful sectors of society regarding the issue of the war in Vietnam. As a result, a number of movements – both political and social – emerged out of the cacophony of voices advocating for change. African Americans began their struggle for civil rights, while the “new” left began to question the ...

Introduction

The double bind concept according to Marilyn Fyre refers to a situation of reduced options that human being have in their social living. Such options may lead an individual into a penalty or even depression. For instance, being cheerful and smiling is a requirement among oppressed people.

Fyre further argues that, the oppressed acquiesce in their own world hence making them invisible, as they occupy no space in the available social atmosphere. According to Marilyn Fyre, the oppressed contribute to their erasure. In the contrary, anything ...

Civilization in Cold War

The end of the Second World War left the world with two superpowers – the United States (US) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) – that nearly controlled every aspect of politics, economics and social life worldwide. The two superpowers, after completion of the Second World War, started fierce rivalry that did not involve direct military engagements in the battlefields. The fight for scientific, political, economic, and military control as a way of civilization led the Americans to support one group or country over the others. The war involved the two superpowers in hideously supporting, financing and implementing their ideologies ...

In dual-career marriage, both partners have occupational careers that they pursue. These types of marriages are rare to find and differs from dual-earner marriages where only one partner has formal employment. Studies have shown that women are fond of undertaking double work, combining workplace responsibilities with domestic work. Having a dual-career marriage makes partners face a load overload while trying to cope with different strategies to improve their marriage. Couples should possess relational coping resources that include fantastic behaviors, cooperation in times of negotiation, and trust between them (Marshall, 1998). Researchers have tried to study the behavior of couples engaged in ...

Constitutional Conflicts between the US Executive and Legislature

The framers of the American constitution created a document which ensured that no dictator would rule the country. The founding fathers guaranteed this by mapping out various the arms of the government. Each arm of the government has its own responsibilities, such that no arm is subservient to the other. However, in an attempt to provide enough checks and balances for the presidency, the constitution creates instances whereby the functions of the president and those of the congress overlap. In such circumstances, the unclear separation of power has led to frequent fights between the congress and the presidency. The overlapping ...

The Importance of Social Responsibility in Business

The exact meaning of ethics is hard to capture. What defines “ethics” varies from place to place depending on the culture and environment. However, scholars are entangled in the struggle of finding a comprehensive way of describing ethics. Fundamentally, ethical behavior aims to create harmonious coexistence between individuals in a social setting. Society hopes that laws reflect the ethical standards that it thinks are pertinent. Ethics refers to a body of standards of wrong and right, borne, not out of a requirement to obey a rule but for the sake of goodness and justice and fairness. Concerns about ethics cut across the whole sphere ...

Factors that explain that violence is a Social Problem

Violence may result from social factors such as unemployment, working conditions that are poor, political differences, financial problems and drugs. According to World Bank (79), the linkage between violence and unemployment involves exclusion and social identity. Employment cannot be entirely viewed as a financial matter. Employment should be viewed as a social matter since it involves aspects of social relations such as a person’s expectations and personal status. Unemployment becomes a factor that results to recruitment of individuals into gangs. According to the World Bank (79), studies indicate that criminal violence is strongly linked to persons with low income. Most people are ...

Boris Pasternak’s classic novel accords with the tradition of great Russian literature in its reflection and interpretation of the period in which it was written, despite the fact that Dr. Zhivago was not published until 1956.

Yuri Zhivago, the story’s protagonist, is a sensitive, starry-eyed idealist caught up in the violence and treachery of the times. His powerlessness leaves him profoundly vulnerable to the whims of fortune and challenged to maintain his individuality. Ultimately, Dr. ...

Arguably, modern day historians are justified in attributing the economic and sociopolitical attributes of the present Brazil to the past.

Generally, Brazilian people trace their originality from four main sources, which include Europeans, Asians, Amerindians, as well as Africans. The diversity and complexity of Culture and societal characteristics of Brazil reflects cultural and racial mixing that took place during the colonial period that ...

For those who consider the disputed 2000 Presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore to have been controversial, the story that takes place just before the opening of Sophocles’ Antigone must seem downright barbaric. If you consider the chaos that the previous year or so had brought down on Thebes, Antigone’s wrath could just as well be considered the bellowing of an entire city, weary of its rulers’ drama. Oedipus had died after blinding and exiling himself, on the heels of discovering that he actually had fulfilled the Oracle’s prophecy of killing his father and ...

1. Introduction

Tradition can be thought of as an annual family ritual like a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Traditions can also apply to communities such as when the nation watches the lighting of the White House Christmas tree on television. Not everyone in one community or even one family always celebrates in exactly the same way and exactly the same time.

Another way to define tradition according to Oxford American Dictionary (728) is as “a long-established or inherited way of thinking or acting.” That definition applies more to what this essay will be discussing. Even better is the fourth definition ...

On what grounds is the idea of universal human rights challenged?

Human Rights

The universality of human rights is one area that has generated many debates and equally varied interpretations with respect to its existence. The debate regarding the universality of Human rights calls for the understanding of ‘universality’ and ‘human rights’. Irrespective of what they do, who they are, or where they come from, all human beings are holders of human rights, and therefore, they are entitled to their rights (Ankerl, 2011; Donnelly, 2003). Since the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, fundamental freedoms and human rights have undergone codification of different types that cover ...

Christianity stands out from the rest of the many and diverse religious beliefs that exist in the world today. According to Buntin (nd) in the myriad of religious beliefs today the idea of salvation is common albeit being defined or even termed differently. The concept of salvation from all the religious beliefs implies reconciliation of humanity to God (deity). The basic principle is that the sin and wickedness of man has separated him from his maker thus the need for salvation. As earlier mentioned to many religions salvation means different things including oneness with deity, righteousness, perfect nothingness, enlightenment, ...

School and Classroom Processes:

Whilst researching Attention Hyperactive Deficit Disorder (ADHD), if one thing is immediately clear, it is that the ADHD child needs allowances to be made for their behaviour whilst in the classroom. ADHD is a diagnosis of the American Psychiatric Association and lists symptoms as including inattentiveness, impulsiveness and hyperactivity that are extreme enough to interfere with an individual’s day to day existence. (Lewis & Norwich, p125, 2005) The disorder is known to affect approximately 18,168 of the Hong Kong population, most of whom are male children. (Wrong Diagnosis, 2011) ADHD comes under the heading of ‘Emotional Behavioural Difficulties’ ( ...
