Oral history interview is the best methodology for collecting information about the past either on social or cultural life. The information could be obtained from a family member, close friend, a relative or person in the community as one tries to understand their past event experiences (Dogan, 2015).

Introduction

People always say to themselves that the time has not yet come to save and enjoy life it is necessary at the moment. Having reached retirement age they understand that they were too careless. One of the main reasons for careless attitude to the pension savings is debt. A large number of Americans with great difficulty paying residential mortgages repay payments on credit cards. Some people in the US have at least one of these three types of debt retirement. Today, tens of thousands of Americans living in the country, whose age has long passed for 90 years and ...

Michael Bloomberg is definitely among the public personas whose persistence, inventiveness and meticulousness became the foundation of successful entrepreneurship and overall affluence in financial, political and media realms. In addition to political career, Bloomberg’s greatest achievements in business are a global media empire and a financial data network bearing – quite naturally – the name of their decisive founder, Bloomberg LP. Having created a Wall Street company in 1981 (Anders, 2009) with an intention to collect, structure and deliver financial and trading information (Bainbridge, 2008, p. 27), Bloomberg has been expanding his empire further until today. According to Winfrey (2009, ...

Ethical Issues

Human trafficking is a worldwide problem. For all practical purposes, this activity is nothing but a form of modern slavery. Every year, about 21 million people are caught up in human trafficking from about 130 countries around the world. Without a doubt, this is a serious issue given that it violates human rights that the United Nations takes very seriously - and should. While this pertains mostly to women who are sold into prostitution while also involving children and young boys as well who are coerced into forced labour as well. Given the atrocities around the world, the purpose ...

Homeschooling has become one of the most well sought out ways of educating, and teaching children the lessons they need to survive. Parents are homeschooling their children, and many of the reasons are evident such as the fact that children are more likely to listen to their parents than complete strangers. Other reasons could be that some parents have given up on the school system and their ability to provide a decent education, another reason could be ethical or the school system’s lack thereof to deal with some children especially those who are bullies. The pressure of trying ...

I agree with the author’s explicit stance that competence and professionalism are unrelated features. However, I do not support the author’s implicit opinion that disregards competence as an essential contributor to professional success. Stark (2015) claimed that all of us know someone who lost his job due to lack of professionalism. I consider this as the author’s attempt to vitiate the importance of competence for success in any occupation. Undoubtedly, if a person lacks competency required for a particular job, then he will either not be hired or soon be fired. Therefore, being competent is a ...

Juvenile Delinquency Reduction Efforts

Two of the most renowned juvenile delinquency reduction programs in the writer’s society include Adolescent Diversion Project and Aggression Replacement Training (ART). Adolescent Diversion Project aims to motivate criminals belonging to minor age category to adopt civilized and gentle behaviors. Such criminals are given special training in jails after they have committed a crime in which they are taught and made aware of the value of being socially responsible (National Institute of Justice, 2016). On the other hand, ART is mainly directed to prevent minors from aggressions through psychological training into different dimensions. They build social skills through ...

It is necessary to consider welfare of employees, their salaries or wages, pensions, benefits, and administration of contracts of employees in accordance with their grievances in order to allow employees to work in most effectual manner. However, this is also essential for ensuring satisfaction of employees. Union movement started in Canada as there was fight for wage cut, workers were discriminated, and labor conflict was increasing because of arrival of immigrants from Ireland, Britain, and Scotland, who became involved in the crowd behavior for protesting alleged injustices of employers. Further, in 1990s, variations in trade agreements, economic system, and ...

AMINAL’s motto states that all efforts to categorize the genre they play in are futile and that it is “their sworn duty” to melt their audience’s face. Indeed, the “molten rock”, as they call themselves can be used to define the style of the band and, thus, its appeal. The somewhat careless attitude towards what and how they play does not make the band appear uninteresting to the public; it is the part of the style they consciously use to attract new audience. In crude terms, people enjoy seeing a bunch of regular-looking dudes play cool music ...

Introduction

There is no particular definition of the term homelessness. However, it can be described in simple terms as the condition where one lacks a home or permanent residence. The National Health Care for the Homeless Council has a wide range of definitions for homelessness (Bahumohl 5). First, it describes the condition as the one in which a person lacks permanent housing and resides in deserted buildings, vehicles, shelters, or lives as a street urchin. The person lives in a temporary transitional housing, single room or shelter. Secondly, it recognizes a homeless person as the one who is in a ...

Happiness has almost always been associated with money. This is particularly a general belief in more urban areas in which amenities and conveniences are almost always purchased by money. The argument of whether money could buy happiness or not is perennial. However, meanings of both money and happiness change over years not only for communities across ages but also for individuals over different life phases. For supporters of moneyed happiness, so to speak, happiness – interpreted as enjoying what modern life has to offer including all consumables and even spiritual practices – cannot only be achieved without money but is, in ...

President Barrack Obama recently proposed to increase the minimum wage to $9 an hour so as to ensure a decent living for the working class. On one hand, some liberals view the idea as beneficial to the working class that they want the increase to be $15 an hour. On the other hand, most conservatives have opposed the idea with some wanting to repeal the minimum wage entirely. The increase in the minimum wage to $9 an hour is modest and is beneficial to the nation as it strengthens the middle class which in turn leads to a stronger ...

Discussion Board Posts

Main post starting a thread: The Intersection of Poverty Discourses by Debra Henderson and Anne Tickamayer. Honest and open discussions on how racism, stereotyping and other forms of prejudice impact the lives of the poor are necessary in order to overcome the society’s resistance in assisting the categories of poor people labeled as ‘undeserving’, and in order to create more opportunities for these people to secure jobs, complete their education and to become self-sufficient. In their article, “The Intersection of Poverty Discourses”, Debra Henderson and Anne Tickmayer discuss the notions of deserving and undeserving poor. The undeserving poor, ...

CHAPTER THREE: MAN AND ARAB MASCULINITY

As Carabí and Armengol (2014) show in their study, Arab masculinity is a hybrid concept entailing adherence to traditional patriarchal values held for centuries in the Arabic world and supported by the religious component of Islam; however, it also “allows liberal values” which might contradict this traditional patterns. Cultural and societal representation of Arab masculinity is thereby rather complex and might emerge in a variety of contexts including family and society on the larger scale. In these representations, stereotypical images of man in traditional Arab context might enclose controversies and correlations between liberal-secular masculinity and conservative masculinity image entrenched ...

Breastfeeding a child is an uncontested action and each and every individual agrees to the fact that it is advantageous to both the child and the mother. However, the bone of contention is the fact that the members of the society tend to have varying opinions on the matter of breastfeeding the child in public. The main issue that causes the individuals to consider breastfeeding in public is the fact that a section of individuals tends to over sexualize the female breast and a glimpse of it is considered to be immoral or indecent (Komodoki, 2014). Due to this, ...

The simple answer is, yes we stereotype gang members, gangs or gang activity. It is not only about gangs, we stereotype people (mostly at subconscious level). Gang stereotypes stand out as they are generally perceived as violent groups of people. They thrive in stereotyping themselves as it gives them their identity. It is not really a matter of stereotyping, it is about calling a spade a spade. When an average citizen thinks about gang members they might imagine a violent young man. I understand and agree with Week 1 Lectures; it is not just the youth but people from ...

1) To what extent aspects of labor relations in other countries should be adopted in the United States? Labor relations have always concerned issues of negotiations, formation of different types of organizations of workers and employees and development of rules for their activities. In France, control over the daily management of a company is performed by the management. Its activity is regulated by the Supervisory Board. Labor relations in France also provide for the presence of the observer who is assigned to the categories of employees responsible for the payroll of the company's employees and collective agreements. This category ...

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 ...

Action Plan using Maslow’s Theory The world has a myriad of cultures and people that share their own set of cultural values and belief systems. These values become their cultural norms and are preserved in their day to day actions and routine. If a person does not carry the firsthand knowledge of another person’s cultural beliefs and norms, then they are bound to follow hearsay and believe whatever stereotypes are associated with them. However looking at the factual display of matters, many cultures have certain rites and traditions which cannot be changed or tampered with. ...

Human Trafficking

There is a flourishing international trade in human beings. In camps in the jungles and elsewhere, the victims of these “human traders” brutalize, rape and at times kill those who fall prey to them. These groups “service” the needs of businessmen looking to use the cheap labor to maximize their profits (Stoakes, Ranong, and Kelly, 2015). One of the most prevalent forms of the commercial trade in humans is child labor; in places such as Africa, children are used to service the cocoa fields using extremely dangerous implements even in the hands of adults (Food Empowerment Project, 2016). ...

Should every country in the world have a reasonable minimum wage?

Ideally, I think there should be a minimum wage set for every country. This would mean the assurance that each and every individual can provide for his daily needs. This would include rent, food, water, utilities. However, the minimum wage should cover enough of the spending to go beyond the poverty line and should cover inflation as well. There should also be the right balance between what a worker receives and what he pays in taxes. It would not be beneficial for one to receive high minimum wage while having a high tax burden to bear at the same ...

Executive Summary

International growth of a company is strictly defined by the expertise of its managers in training and developing human resources abroad that can work with the organizational structure of the parent company. But training employees abroad is considerably a demanding task. This is especially because of the cross-cultural differences that will hinder most of the usual training and incentive programs that are based out of the ethics of parent corporation. It is essential that the parent corporation understand the cultural practices as well as sensitivities of the target country before venturing into business with it. This is where the ...

There are different periods in the history of countries that play more or less significance roles. No doubt that First and Second World Wars immensely influenced the life and political situations almost in every country.

In spite of these tremendous periods in the world’s history there were no less and maybe, according to some views, more important period in the history of America in the twentieth century. The period of the 60s is treated now as the time of innovations in culture, science, music and ...

The films that will be examined in this paper have much in common though, at the same time they consist of different aspects in their plots and picture different characters (Hayward 67). The main issue that unites all these films is the theme of obsession. The meaning of this word in films is the same, but considering each character, it may have slightly different understanding. Each character has different aims and values and they act according to them (Parkinson 109). Nevertheless, there is one common and the most important characteristic feature in their behavior. It influences their lives and ...

Progressivism in the 1970s

Education is a “Necessity of Life.” In the book Democracy and Education, John Dewey’s postulation about education being a necessity of life illuminates the need for real world application to education. Dewey was a progressive educator who understood that students are failed by the concept of education if they fail to link what is happening in class to what is out there in the real world. He, therefore, sought to bridge the theory and practice concepts of education and argues that the idea of learning in the classroom has to link to the experience outside the classroom. In ...

Antigone and Creon are characters who assume parallel perspectives. There is a sharp contrast between the two and in almost all instances—they do not seem to be in harmony. Oedipus was Antigone’s father. There arises great tension after his departure on who would be the next king. Antigone’s brothers, Eteocles, and Polyneices had agreed to share the leadership roles in the throne. Creon is Antigone’s father (Schakel, and Jack 1105). The two are brought out as very different characters with conflicting ideologies on religious law and the law of men. They also differ on issues ...

Because of the theory that was posed earlier suggesting that in the current industry environment, most automobile manufacturers are on a constant lookout for more ways to expand—the fastest way possible. From the start, ...

I chose the era from 1941 until 1970. The period that can be framed with 1941 and 1970 is the time when the Second Great Migration of African Americans happened in the United States. Most African Americans travelled from the South to the North or to the northern part of either coast. Their destinations were chiefly big industrial cities so that they could be employed in industrial spheres. In their search for a better life, however, discrimination still haunted them in any part of the country back at that time. It was expressed not only in denial but also ...

Human Development is the concept of enhancing the experience of human existence in terms of several factors that affect the lives of humans.

The goal of human development is to make every human being ...

Even though statistics states the the number of homeless people declined in the recent years, homelessness remains a big problem that needs to be addressed (Katel 243). However, the lacking of a permanent settlement does not root from the inability or lacking of the government to provide housing programs especially to the unfortunate. In fact, the American administration has already launched programs which aimed at reducing homelessness (Katel 243-244). One of the housing policies include the “Housing First” Program which helps homeless people find a permanent housing and aids them in the payments of the rent for some period ...

Lopez Ostra was a Spanish citizen who filed a case before the European Court of Human Rights through the European Commission on human rights.

This case was anchored on the responsibility of the state to be held accountable for actions of private entities within its jurisdiction. It is a sophisticated case that was instituted under the ...

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways. It appears that, contrary to the popular misperception, democracy is not necessarily a lack of restraint and complete discretion or at least a range of freedom like the right to media. Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...

Jamaica Kincaid, an Antiguan-American novelist, wrote the short story under consideration. It presents one paragraph, which is really a flow of advice the mother gives to her daughter. The pieces of advice are separated with either semicolons or commas, while stops are completely absent. The end of the text is left open as it finishes with a question mark. Interestingly, the long list of the mother’s advice is interrupted twice with her daughter’s remarks highlighted by italics. Overall, the text produces quite an unusual effect due to the extraordinary punctuation. Therefore, the list of advice, the main ...

The statue of liberty has for a long time been a symbol of national independence, a fable of freedom and prosperity that American’s have been admired while at the same time been hated for the freedom that most countries desire. The song that most American’s have been chanting has been revolving around how much effort they need to put in protecting and fighting for their freedom, a common voice that has yielded fruit as demonstrated by the first amendment. In the road to freedom, a lot has been achieved, but all the achievements are on the verge ...
