However, the presence of aging population comes with consequences and a responsibility to the state and the society in entirety. Principally, the aging population is associated with myriads of limitations ranging from healthcare to the higher dependency level. Thus, the aging population does not command the power and energy to produce positively to the economy of a country. Ideally, the broader societal views have shaped the old age policies in the USA, and this becomes the backbone of the essay. Principally, ...

The term ‘macro-environment’ refers to the set of forces that influence the functioning of all the businesses at the market (Dibb and Simkin, 2008, p.26). In political terms, the fragrance market is likely to be impacted by the major trends in international relations (e.g., the conclusion of international agreements, openings and closings of markets). Similar, given the fact that the Middle Eastern producers of fragrances tend to export them to the markets of other countries, the state of the economic relations between the Middle Eastern countries and the rest of the world is highly important for exporters. Moreover, the ...

Medical genomic can be defined as the utilization of genome-based information in the making of clinical decisions. A broader concept, personalized medicine, is often used to describe the models of healthcare that emphasize the application of an individual’s unique environmental, genomic, genetic, and clinical information to the treatment and prevention of diseases (Brunicardi; Offit). In their practice, doctors combine the results of patient data, which include individual genomic information, family history, medical history, conventional test results, and symptoms. The combination of the data allows the physicians to diagnose diseases accurately and personalize treatment strategies (Alzu’bi et al.). ...

Main Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease

According to the World Heart Federation (WHF, 2016), the majority of cardiovascular disease (CVD)’s etiology stems from risk factors that can easily be controlled or managed or modified although a few other risk factors cannot be controlled. For that matter, the risk factors can be grouped into two broader categories (I) modifiable factors and (II) non-modifiable factors. For the modifiable factors, they include hypertension, cholesterol, unhealthy diets, obesity and overweight, physical inactivity, and the use of tobacco (WHF, 2016). On the other hand, the non-modifiable factors include age; the risk of CVD increases with age because as a ...

Parent’s Influences and Responses to Children’s Risk-taking in Outdoor Play

Introduction Parents play an integral role in guiding their children in making crucial decisions in life, especially when it comes to risk taking. Although in most instances children depend on their direct experiences to react appropriately to risky situations it is apparent that parents also influence their ability to make sound decisions in such situations. When children are young most of these decisions are influenced by their parents since they control most of the activities they engage in. As children grow older, they start gaining independence in handling several tasks thus they take a greater responsibility for their decisions. ...

Protests have been occurring in Iran for decades, but recent developments have brought them to the center of global attention. In this essay, I will explain why the Iran riots started, their origins, development, and essential points, as well as why understanding them may be crucial for the American public.

Reasons Behind the Protests in Iran

Protests in Iran are happening for a variety of causes. Economic difficulties make up one of the key factors. For years, the Iranian economy has struggled due to foreign sanctions and mismanagement. Inflation is on the rise, while unemployment is widespread, particularly among the young. Many Iranians are struggling to ...

Introduction

There are periods in life when it seems that it is impossible to go on, rise from ashes, or simply continue a journey. This time may be characterized as a dark hour, a gloomy dream, or a “the light vanished from our golden sun” (Wilde 25). It is challenging to encounter with the most difficult circumstances and to have strength to overcome them. Not everyone has an inner will and power to overcome the barriers and find a guiding threat again. However, literature presents the readers with the invaluable gift of experience, inspiration, and guidance, which helps to continue ...

Abstract

The research paper is based on non-conviction based confiscation system. The system was recently proposed by the European Commission. In general, the paper gives a comparative approach between non-conviction based confiscations and conviction-based confiscation. However, in some nations, non-conviction based confiscation is referred to as Civil Forfeiture. The main aim of conducting this study, therefore, is to have a comparative study of the conviction-based confiscation in Kuwait and non-conviction based confiscation in Australia. The study as well will identify the gaps involved in non-conviction based confiscation that will enhance its adoption or not. The significance of the study, however, ...

Writing on a complex problem like adult learning can itself be a complex process. An adult student’s cultural literacy is formed over a lifetime of experiences with the written word and encompasses their expectations, their goals, and their understanding of their relationship to the broader world. It is no surprise, then, that I faced several challenges as I began to explore this issue and its impact on the educational experience. Being able to explain a complex concept to others requires you to first reach a complete understanding of the topic—no small task in itself, when faced with ...

1. There were several important factors that led to the decline in 2007 and 2008. While some were notional factors, most of them were factors that were actually taking place and affecting the sales of the company. It was at the beginning of February 2007 that Schultz began noticing that the media communication of Starbucks was failing to tell the story of the company. He also noticed some of the following factors in play that were behind the possible decline of Starbucks. a) The personalization of the customer experience that existed in the smaller coffee shops no longer existed ...

For the traditional student, college is the next step after high school. He takes only a few months off between high school and college as he did between the previous 12 years of his scholastic life, a whirlwind transition that leaves little time for maturation or new life experiences between being a senior in one place and a freshman in the next. Adult learners, however, bring a fully-formed identity as an adult with them into the college classroom. Educationally, they may have finished high school several years prior, not have finished high school at all, or be completing a ...

Culture is the way a group of people live and it provides a kind of software for the mind of a specific group and defines what must be done in certain situations and circumstances. This implies that people get to accept and apply certain trends and actions in some situations. This is learnt over the years and developed by groups of people over centuries of surviving and living as societies. Therefore, when a person moves from one culture to another, it is likely that the individual will feel a lot of changes in the world around him or her. ...

Abstract

The current discussion is aimed at the dissection of ethics, corporate social responsibility and sustainability of British Petroleum (BP) by taking the case of Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill in to consideration. By commencing the discussion with an overview of the externalities present in the oil industry, the pressures on oil companies are examined which is further evaluated through the application of stakeholder theory and the theory of utilitarianism. In the case of BP, it is revealed that the resort to CSR was primarily a reactive measure to correct its tainted brand image and save it from reputational risks. ...

Abstract

The following examines Mexican American and African-American cultures and the ways that these two cultures interact the dominant white culture in the United States. While on the surface these two cultures might seem to have much in common (given that they are frequently discriminated against minorities in the United States), in point of fact they are very different in the ways that they assimilate into American culture. Anthropologists and sociologists have traditionally used words like “integration” and “acculturation” to describe the process in which immigrant cultures ultimately blend in to (and accommodate themselves to) the dominant culture of the ...

Business Management

Introduction Businesses that are lucky to begin operations and operate profitably within the first two years should rely on a solid foundation based on responsive strategies if they are to maintain their success trajectory. The company, AM Shoe Shoppers, has been operating for eighteen months and is considerably doing well. The enterprise has been lucky to have survived this crucial phase without a clear strategic roadmap. It can be argued that the initial focus of buying in bulk and selling at a discount price made it possible for the company to weather formational challenges. However, as the company grows, ...

Marriage is a tradition that is practiced and honored all over the world. It signifies the birth of a relationship that grants couples the privilege to build families and an enduring kinship ties. Studies show that people who are happily married have more desirable benefits and experiences than those who are unmarried, cohabiting, widowed, or separated (Shariff 557). Specifically, married individuals have better parenting styles, stronger support systems, greater economic security, greater financial resources, healthier psychological status, more desirable emotional wellbeing, greater physical health, and longer life. Marriage practices in Western countries are different from those of other societies. ...

Introduction

The process of learning in animals and humans come through a series of situations that come together to motivate, and ignite the brains and enable them to repeat specific actions in the face of certain circumstances. The basic logic presented by psychologists and biologists is that there is intrinsic motivation based on the brain which controls the nerves and models of an animal or human being. This implies that an external variable triggers an extrinsic motivation that gets the organism to ignite the internal or intrinsic motivation in order to undertake certain actions and internalize it in order to ...

Section I. Reflections

My reflection on Assignment 1 incorporates that it will be challenging to motivate the teenagers to attend the 3D program. The teenagers will be unwilling to register for the program and even after being registered, they may not be consistent towards attending the program. This is due to the fact that teenagers will want to spend their weekend by means of engaging in some extracurricular and recreational activities. Moreover, the teenagers who already have encountered the situation of driving under influence will also refrain from attending this program due to their juvenile or resistant behavior. The revision for assignment ...

Community policing provides the modern concept on how police work is done. The main focus of the community policing model is to establish a police department initiated program that is designed to offer an opportunity for the police and public agencies and members of the community to discover their common problems and responsibilities, and work together towards the solution of community problems and the formulation of positive community programs (Palmiotto, 2000). It is not merely a problem solving strategy but an initiative that aims to establish police-community collaboration in solving problems in the community and in attaining peace and ...

Airbnb: A Strategic Analysis BACKGROUND The hospitality business is changing. In contrast to a conventional model of corporate-controlled business model offering a broad range of hospitality services to consumers largely defined within limited geographical spreads, peer-to-peer hospitality enterprises are disrupting hospitality business into an innovative model. The peer-to-peer model cuts across different hospitality services but, for current purposes, main focus remains on accommodation services. Of all short-stay, peer-to-peer companies, Airbnb is probably most prominent and, for that matter, most controversial. Founded based on limited property offerings in specific areas ...

Identification of Supply Chain Risks in India and China with Proposed Solutions

Introduction As the business world is getting more complex with the rise of globalization pressures and increasing intensity of the global competitive forces, it is critical that organizations must deal with certain risks they are exposed to. Operating in multiple markets with integration into the global economy, businesses face enormous challenges and risks that not only raise the cost of doing business but also cause the loss of competitive edge in the respective market arena. It is necessary that organizations willing to expand their operational activities in other countries should anticipate different risks they are going to face while ...

Introduction The case study method and the phenomenological study are two prominent methods of qualitative research design. The case study method involves an attempt to understand an issue or a problem using a case as an illustrative instance to elucidate features of a larger class of similar phenomena (Gerring, 2004). In contrast, a phenomenological study is used to describe particular phenomena, or the appearance of things, as a ‘lived in experience’ (Penner & McClemont, 2008). A phenomenological study is not aimed at explaining or discovering causes. Instead, its main aim is to arrive at the rich essence of experience lived ...

The quest for overachievement is one which has become central to current U.S. culture. Driven by a growing sense of beating peers, parents and children stretch limits to outperform and win. Probably, sports, particularly so called "dangerous sports", represent one most notable area in which (helicopter) parents and children compete to achieve excellence. In pursuing an eternal dream of overachievement, children (self motivated or, more commonly, pushed by parents and coaches) are subject to a host of risks in contacting one another during physical activity, a concern which only highlights growing debate over whether dangerous sports particularly football and ...

Question 1: Describe the basis of the principle of superposition as well as why we cannot date a 1 million year old hominid with radiocarbon dating. According to Hull (191), the principle of superposition states that for any layers or sequence of surface-deposited material, a bed is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it. However, this is not always the case since rocks and beds can buckle causing younger rocks to go underneath older bed. Therefore, the principle should be applied critically. Basically, the principle states that younger rockers lie on older rocks ( ...

Use of Language in the Contemporary Arts

In contemporary art, the ways and methods of artists in expressing their thought go beyond the mere replica of objects made as subjects for their art works. There are modern artists that explore various modes of expressionism. There are those who use the combination of words and letters in their works to give a message to their audience. Various artists practice the distinct combination of letters and figures and employment of words as part of the features of their practices in art. The use of words and letters in their artworks is also associated with the sense of authorship, ...

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the most famous abolitionists who fought for women’s rights and again slavery. She was among the founders of the National Woman Suffrage Association and first Woman’s Rights Convention. Her Keynote Address at the First Woman’s Rights Convention, proving that women should have the same rights as men, is a great example of a strong, effective argument. In this masterpiece, Stanton protests against the discriminative laws which determine the submissive role of women in mid-nineteenth century society. She objects to treatment of women as the inferior race and argues for the ...

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

3 PARTS OF PERSONALITY

Abstract

The three parts of personality according to Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche include the Id, the super-ego, and the ego. The three personality parts are the theoretical constructs upon which the interaction and activity of the mental life of individuals is described. Prior to the development of the Freud’s models, researchers and faculty psychologists had developed a division of the human mind. The theories they developed used to be modified from time to time until the development of the structural theory of the personality parts by Freud in 1923.This theory has ...

Personal Leadership Philosophy

Leadership evolves. Philosophies developed a priori and applied to a given organizational context are apt to fail. By definition, a leadership philosophy, let alone a personal one, emerges in response to variables making up a specific organizational behavior. Accordingly, in order to develop a personal leadership philosophy one should, above anything else, cater for organizational needs both at corporate and individual levels. Personally, I aspire for a leadership philosophy based on strict definition of raison d'être. By identifying core purpose for which an organization exists, I would be able to develop a sustainable leadership philosophy. Indeed, companies, successful ...

Introduction

It is well documented that there is an entire underground economy in the United States, and much of it is at the behest of the millions of undocumented workers that live within its borders. While there are numerous factors contributed to this reality, many illegal immigrants work in jobs that pay them off the books. This results in no taxes being paid by either the employer of the immigrant, and it also results in a lack of legal protections and benefits for the workers. Many of the undocumented workers living in America come to work on farms and in ...

called and held to account

Introduction

Traditional models of accountability, primarily those of elections and legislative scrutiny, are no longer sufficient in holding governments accountable. While Emy and Hughes (1988) argue that accountability dilemmas have been long standing within ministerial government, they see accountability failures as an indication of mechanisms corrupted by political interest. The rise of new social movements is a strong indication of the collective desire of citizens to interrupt the “chain of accountability”. The desire to influence political decision makers is a reflection of a growing assumption that the democratic deficit facing most western governments requires experiments ...

Introduction

The growing cost of college education has raised debates about how viable a college degree is. These debates are further fueled by required knowledge and skill sets required for current job market. Given current unemployment rates (coming in heel of an unprecedented economic recession), investment in college education has not only become a financial burden long after graduation but is also becoming, critically, less rewarding from a job prospect perspective. Indeed, "overeducated" college graduates – particularly ones completing an undergraduate or a higher degree in software engineering or digital media majors – are experiencing particularly painful job experiences, particularly during early ...

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion. In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...
