Illegal Immigration: The Border Has Been Crossed

Illegal immigration is not only a growing trend in the United States of America but it is also a frequently discussed and debated topic through news sources, social media and through political campaigns. There are both sides of the debate, one which does not see the illegal immigration as being a downfall to the country and one that does. There are always different beliefs when it comes to any easily debated topic, and this is no different. Illegal immigration is a growing issue in the United States of America and it will most likely continue to grow, unless proper policies and restrictions are ...

Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s. Although most people understand what an NGO is - the name itself makes it very clear that these are organizations that are not government run – there is little consensus on what may be described as key characteristics of an ...

Overview

Public agencies have until recently not been engaging in succession planning. Succession planning is the process by which an organization plans for and replaces outgoing managers, executives and selected chief employees. Such employees initially held vital positions affecting the success of the organization, and preparing for succession is critical to the success of an organization in its present and future plans. The process of succession planning includes carrying out preparations of how the organization will select and recruit successors, the most effective way to handle changes between executives and how to build upon its successors (Todnem & Macleod, 2009).

In regards to Relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity.
Opinions could be based on your culture/folklore, your parents/grandparents, TV/videogames, and unless you can strip away all of these subjective opinion inducing factors, your specific morality cannot be objective and it probably won’t be relevant to a large amount of ethical situations.
This basis obviously limits objectivity, you’re opinions are decided by where you come from and who you’re with ...

Regional Stability, Global Security: Finding a Workable Answer to Iran’s Nuclear Threat
In the modern world, “rogue” states have become adept at wielding the threat of nuclear weaponry in the global political arena and wringing concessions from developed nations that have, at best, an imprecise knowledge of whether, and at what stage of development, nations like North Korea and Iran possess nuclear capability. It is a matter of intense interest among America’s intelligence and diplomatic communities to determine whether the persistently belligerent regime in Iran seeks political leverage against Israel and the United ...

An article published in a 2002 edition of The Modern Language Review noted that there is a growing belief among scholars that Sir Gawain is a misogynistic figure who descends “to the level of a churl capable of abusing the ladies of (the Green Knight’s) household” (Morgan, 265). Indeed, Gawain’s rant, which takes place near the end of the classic medieval poem, is part of an ancient literary tradition that reaches into the distant past. And yet Gawain is also a contradictory figure, a knight errant critical of women in the story and yet a hero who bore the image of the Virgin Mary ...

1. PREFACE

Today’s world is influenced by many factors such as globalization, cultural influences and the presence of the open market. Europe is a fine proof of this influence as it is more open for international business. Products from around the globe can be accessed by all types of consumers in the European market. Many find the European market more open to international businesses. Some find their successes in the European market through the use of good market analysis. Brooksbank (1991) notes that good market analysis is a key to the successful marketing plan;; it gives companies advice which will ...

Introduction and thesis statement

The gestational mother should not be granted a right to co-parent a child in a situation of surrogacy. Surrogacy refers to an arrangement whereby a surrogate mother gives birth to a child with an intention to give it out to the intended mother (Söderström-Anttila et al. 261). Various key factors culminate to the engagement of such a partnership. Infertility and obstetric complications are among the common elements. Surrogacy can be traditional or gestational. The former implies that the begotten child is biologically related to the surrogate mother whereas the latter means that the child is biologically related ...

Magnesium is an essential nutrient

Magnesium is a mineral which is of great abundance in the human body. Along with enzymes, it is important for protein synthesis, muscle regulation and a host of other important cellular factors such as oxidative phosporylation, energy production which involves production and utilization of ATP and glycolysis. Additionally, Magnesium is required to assist in different cellular processes such as DNA replication and transcription and RNA translation(Barbagallo, 2012).
Magnesium is found usually in the bones and or in the soft tissues of humans. Next to Potassium, it is the most abundant ion in the body. The plasma actually contains ...

The set of doctrines surrounding the consideration of the end of time, particularly with regard to the fate of humanity and the resolution of human history, is the subject known as eschatology. Within the Christian consideration of these concepts, theologians and believers tend to emphasize heaven, hell, death, resurrection and the return of Jesus Christ to this plane. Indeed, such subjects as the rapture of the believers and the last judgment receive considerable attention (Jorgenson 115). Three facets of eschatology --- the Second Coming, the Rapture and the Judgment – come under consideration in this paper, as do the perspectives ...

There is no simple definition of bisexuality because bisexual people are a very diverse group. Some of them tend to monogamous relationship, others may have more than one partner. There are several theories about the different models of bisexual behavior. Thus, there are 13 types of bisexuality based on the sexual desires and experiences. According to Flanders and Hatfield, alternating bisexuals may first have a sexual relationship with a man, and then can choose a woman, and then again return to men. Bisexual on the circumstances are mainly heterosexual, but can choose a partner of the same sex only in those situations where there ...

Introduction It has been our objective, in the previous research and surveys we conducted, to find out if there is a significant difference between the performance of an externally recruited CEO and an internally appointed one. A CEO or Chief Executive Officer of a company plays a very significant role in the success of the organization and, therefore, it is key to assess and discover which formula would work best for a company. Studies had been initiated to determine which will be the better choice between an internally appointed CEO who has grown within the company and expected to be very familiar and ...

in the Debate Between Moral Relativism and Moral Absolutism
The issue of moral relativism versus moral absolutism is an important one in the history of moral philosophy. Benedicts argues that normality is “culturally defined” and argues that what we think of as right and wrong, good and evil, and moral and immoral varies from culture to culture” (qtd. in Rosenstand, p. 146). This view of moral relativism is that the standards of moral right and wrong are based on the moral code of each culture. On the other hand, Christina Hoff Sommers observes an opposite view that moral ...

Introduction

Crime has been an ever-present feature in the society. Every society has had some deviant individuals who have chosen to engage in this behavior. Throughout the years, the society has come up with various measures that punish those who engage in criminal behavior. The punitive measures have become progressively severe with the hope that criminals who witness the massive punishment that awaits them should they be involved in criminal activities will be deterred from committing crime. The presence of strict and severe punitive measures has to a significantly helped in the deterrence of criminal activities in the society. However, in ...

Introduction.

Everything we do has a limit. Limits are put to define the extent to which we can do certain things or even the extent to which we can move from a particular point. Boundaries are physical barriers which separate different areas. They are usually in the form of walls, roads, paths and so on. Therefore, maritime boundaries and limits are connected with the ownership of valuable resources and coastal state jurisdiction over foreign shipping. Inaccuracies and uncertainties over such sensitive issues are best avoided. There are numerous international disputes over limits and boundaries, some of which could endanger peace and security. ...

In fact, research has advanced to the extent that the link between strains of diabetes and those of cancer ...

Racism in the United States is not a thing of the past as earlier claimed by some government officials. In fact, it has taken another form which is a disguise to the original form of racism. To begin with, racism can be defined as the act of judging people in regard to a certain vice. In most cases, racism occurs when one race of people discriminate against another mainly in regard to skin color or superiority complex. As an example, in the United States, the racial discrimination (racism) that exists is due to skin color. In the US, there are the black ...

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...

1.0 Introduction
Generally motivation is a psychological process that refers to issues that drive an individual into action. Motivation can also be defined as the process of triggering, sustaining and guiding behavior to a specific purpose. All human behavior is usually as a result of either an external (the environment) or internal (physiological) causal agent (commonly referred to as stimulus) (Stajkovic and Luthans 34). In a business environment, the terminology “motivation” is very complex because different employees are motivated differently and by wide range factors. While some employees are easily motivated by monetary means others are motivated by recognition of their efforts ...

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

The question of whether we should trust our sense comes to us from the ancient times. Since the beginning of philosophy and thought, humans wondered whether the world is the way they see and experience it. With the advancements in philosophy, such doubts even framed out in a separate field of thought. Many thinkers were very skeptical about the contrast between the world as we perceive it and the way it really is and what role do our senses play in the process of perception and understanding. Descartes and Hume are two of the most prominent philosophers whose views ...

Abstract

Can female participation in the labor force contribute to economic growth? Is there a causal relationship between female participation in the labor force and economic growth? This paper addresses these questions using the vector error correction model. For this study, an annual time series data for the period 1970 to 2012 for the United States has been used. The results show that there exists a co-integration between female participation and GDP per capita, which is a proxy measure for economic development. The result does not support a two-way causality between the variables. However, a causality running from GDP per ...

In Euthyphro of Plato, we are introduced first to a conversation that goes on between Socrates and Euthyphro with an explanation by Euthyphro on his intention to prosecute his father on the murder that he strongly believes that he has committed in his presence. It is clear that Socrates from the start of Euthyphro has one objective in mind; questioning the ones around him and provoking them in questioning their own lives aspects. A good example is the question that he directs to Euthyphro that at first glance looks confusing. The argument clearly states that the morality idea is solely ...

This paper will argue that despite habit, custom, and the existence of God, one does not know in fact if the future will be a resemblance of the past. Basing on the works of famous philosophers Immanuel Kant and David Hume, we’ll come to the conclusion that no one can foresee one’s future even on the basis of strict knowledge of the past and even having habits and customs that presumably have to lead to some definite outcome. The two thinkers argued about those things, and using their ideas we’ll substantiate the thesis under consideration.

This is a question that films like Raging Bull and The Godfather Part 1 attempt to answer. These films feature "bad" boys who resort to socially unapproved and criminal behavior and still seem to get away with it. In a world where societies make the rules, perhaps their appeal lies in their ability to bend and break those rules. Nevertheless, there are reasons why they seem so untouchable—reasons that have to do with their immediate context, their thinking and their values. This paper will attempt to analyze those reasons.
The film Raging Bull (1980) is arguably a film about lust, ...

Professionalism is a worldwide recognized concept. Being a professional means specializing in a particular area of study. This person should, therefore, know every little detail of that specific field of study. There are different areas of study that offer that offer professional courses to individuals willing to pursue them. For example, there is medicine as a field of study. (Smith, 94-96). One can be an expert in the different branches that exist within the medical profession. One could, therefore, opt to be an expert in surgery under medicine. It would imply that this person could deal best with surgical problems within this profession. ...

Restatement of Problem
The topic of consumer buying behavior has researched by a number of scholars, and each one of them has illustrated what are the possible factors that influence or guide consumer behavior. Therefore, when organizations plan their strategies to ‘guide’ consumers, they do so by studying these factors and using them to design and market their products or services. This involves the participation of all stakeholders in the planning and strategizing process. The stakeholders could include the design team, the production team, finance, marketing, purchase and stores to name a few, and it is the collective effort of ...

Community policing

The police protect people and enforce laws. However, nowadays, in some communities, police officers do not consider protecting people to be the main task of their job. Instead, they abuse people, especially those with different skin color or religious views. Moreover, some of the police officers use their job to take bribes. In recent years, there have been several cases of such police officers’ misconduct. This thesis is aimed at examining whether community policing leads to less abuse police authority or not. The paper will be divided into two parts. The first part will be devoted to the issue ...
