To do so, various Native American tribes were removed from their homelands and relocated to areas called Indian Territory. Upon arrival at their new lands, they were told that the land they now occupied was to be owned communally, whereas, prior to the Dawes Act, Native American tribal communities individually owned their own familial lands. On February 8, 1887, the 49th Congress went on to specify in detail, how these communal lands were to ...

Childhood obesity is a contemporary problem of great relevance. Rates of the children diagnosed with this condition have increased considerably in the recent decades. Studies account that about 30% of children and adolescents in America are obese (Kiess 213). Obesity can easily be recognized; however, it cannot be treated easily. Nutritionists mainly associate obesity with unhealthy weight gain caused by aspects such as lack of exercise and poor eating habit. An abnormal weight gain trend indicates the likelihood of developing an obese condition. However, a child is not regarded obese until when he or she records a weight of at least 10% ...

The media have also influenced in glamorizing violence like guns and fighting so in turn children whose morality is still developing may lose grip on different consideration on what not to apply on real life. The poster is a call for adults to act and do ...

- Abstract This decision of 1911 related to an anti-trust suit brought by the United States against a group of 65 corporations collectively known as the American Tobacco Company. The United States argued that the organization resulted in an unlawful restraint of the tobacco business, similar to the one found in the oil business under the Standard Oil decision that had just been decided.

The Court disagreed, affirmed the lower court decision, finding for the United States. ...

A few weeks ago, I went to a birthday party for a younger cousin of mine at a family fun center that had a bowling alley, a rock climbing wall, laser tag, and a full video arcade. While the kids who looked like they were in elementary school were tearing around the various attractions, having a blast, I looked around and noticed something odd about the teenagers and the adults. When I was a teenager, we would all have been hogging the video games or running through game after game of laser tag (bowling was a little low-key, in our opinion). That wasn’t the case for the ...

Juvenile Justice in Queensland

The Juvenile Justice and Other Acts Amendment Act 2009 reviewed the previous Queensland's Juvenile Justice Act 1992. Besides renaming it Youth Justice Act (YJA) 1992, the government proposed several amendments to improve the justice system in Queensland. However, those same amendments are justified only by media statements that predict forever-rising crime rates and their prevalence against the justice system which is always described as too soft or inefficient. Unlike media depictions, scientific research presents the complexity of factors that are the actual underlying causes of criminal behaviour. Because those factors originate from a variety of sources, scientific research suggests that a ...

1. What are the primary drivers of groupthink?

Groupthink is driven by pressures placed on a cohesive team that is seeking conformity. This phenomenon typically plays out when the group’s desire for unanimity wins out over its need for a critical and objective discussion and appraisal of a particular challenge or goal (Janis).

Groupthink tends to be prevalent in teams that are dominated by a central figure, someone by whom others are intimidated or who has a strong reputation within the overall organization. Other drivers may come into play when teams operate in an environment where there is an unswerving belief in the organization’s core values, values that may be seen ...
