There are some approaches to natural law. The first conception assumes that it exists independently and does not need to be recognized, found by anyone or declared. On the other side, the positive law has to be approved according to certain procedural standards. The positive law is limited, while the natural law of God or of Reason is limitless and universal (Silving 477). In other words, they are of different origin and have different power and procedure of adoption. These concepts fit into my understanding of the role of law in the community. Thus, it is well-known that there ...

The financial markets reacted immediately: the pound experienced the largest decrease during the entire period of the free-floating and major stock indexes, like FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 also fall considerably (Mackenzie & Platt, 2016 June 25). However, the reasons the ...

Indeed, to have a goal means to be able to remain hopeful and to have desire to reach it. Such ...

Ever since the emergence of theatre as a form of art, it has remained on of the most popular and expressive genres of art that continue to entertain as much as it informs. This is perhaps because for many years, theatre has been used as a social mirror of sorts; one that allows the audience as well as the performers to view the society in which they live for what it is. The ability of playwrights to craft magnificent and compelling theatrical pieces that highlight the plight of the societies in which they live arguably makes playwrights one of ...

Analysis of Leadership in the Film “Into the Wild”

Introduction It is difficult to define leadership. There are multiple opinions regarding this topic. Some experts think it is an innate ability of a person to lead; the others insist that there is no such thing as a natural born leader, as every individual has a potential for leadership. These are diametrically opposite views towards leadership, yet both of them have important points. Those who claim leaders are born, emphasize the significance of their relationship with family and resources available in the early age. The opposite view focuses on the training, learning, and the ability of a person to ...

Child Abuse

Abstract This paper addresses child sexual abuse as a crime that impacts the victim psychologically, leading to long-term devastating consequences. Over the last three centuries, the number of children who have experienced sexual abuse is staggering. Also, there are many unreported cases mainly incest. Importantly, child sexual assault in the U.S. emerged as a social problem due to the high number of assault reports and lack of policies to curb the vice (Goodyear-Brown, 2011). Traditional laws were only protective as opposed to contemporary legislation that punishes the offenders. Also, children protective agencies didn’t address the issue of incest ...

Discussion of the crisis issues associated with the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster in 2004

Management in crisis is a tough enough situation. However, the horrific onslaught of a suddenly unexpected tsunami literally crashing dramatically upon one’s doorstep is simply unthinkable. The inconceivable occurred in Indonesia, when the Aceh-stimulated earthquake stirred the violent killer waves in 2004 costing the lives of 127,000 people, roughly half a million injured – leaving behind potential scores of disease-prone epidemics and mourning of loved ones (Pascapurnama, Murakami, Chagan-Yasutan, Hattori, Sasaki & Egawa 2016).

The two play an essential role in helping the society members to respond and bounce back despite the loss of life and damage to properties. An attempt will be made to expound the mitigation and recovery disciplines of the disaster management plan as well as the ...

Introduction

Much of the human suffering and economic disadvantages that occurred during the Great Depression (1929-1933) were a result of the boom mentality and unregulated business practices of the 1920s. People with a corrupt kind of business acumen exploited the weakest segments of society in the poorest regions. Praying on a naïve boom psychology, businessmen led a devastating attack on the Midwest that ultimately was not curbed by politicians or financial institutions until the middle 1930s. New businesses exploited weak government controls and took on many of the same exploitative practices as the Robber Baron businessmen of the 19th ...

1.0 Introduction and Background Information Nuclear power and energy has become very useful in the economics of the modern world. Whereas the energy can help to achieve enormous benefits, it cannot be disputed that the inherent hazards are potentially dangerous (Greenberg 63). These dangers are evoked by the nuclear wastes produced after the energy is produced and utilized (Strandberg 87). In principle, such waste is radioactive in nature implying that it remains active over a long period of time. As such, it becomes fundamentally vital to ensure that the nuclear waste management is concrete and undoubtedly reliable (Miller 84). ...

World War I made a devastating impact on Russian empire. At the break of the war, August 1914, Russia responded by patriotically rallying around Nicholas II. Some of the effects included: overthrowing the Romanovs who had ruled Russia for over 300 years and weakening of the Russian military that relied on its poor infrastructure. In 1917, the Germans had gained full control over Russia. The realization of this impact made the Russian army to rebel orders given by the German military. Exaggeration on small events led to the Russian army’s interest to attack Germany. The results were devastating ...

Should Internal Corruption be allowed in Businesses?

Internal corruption can take different forms. For instance, a situation whereby the business management overvalues assets, implementation of false projects, devaluing stakeholder’s dividends or even using shortcuts when awarding tenders. While internal corruption benefits individuals in the firm, it has devastating effects on the overall business performance. Primarily, internal corruption may profit the company’s customers, stakeholders and ensure a smooth running of business activities. In some cases, businesses spend less money when they use shortcuts in awarding tenders. Ideally, the standard tendering process takes a long time and involves the use of funds. Thus, if an alternative ...

Introduction

The paper intends to discuss the significance of critical thinking and system thinking approaches in solving the problems that may arise in the organizations. The prospect of the problems needs to be treated strategically irrespective of the nature of the problem to ensure the sustainable outcomes. However, it has been observed that the managers or the leaders regard even the complex problems as the simple ones, and that results in costing the business practices or even generating troubles to the global position of the business (Gharajedaghi, 2011). In this regard, the paper presents the problem of cultural diversity within ...

ABSTRACT

Hurricane Katrina proved to be one the largest natural disasters to occur in the United States. This storm devastated parts of the south, particularly Louisiana. High winds, rains and the breaking of levees left mass flooding and the drowning of entire neighborhoods. The emergency response from the government proved to be highly disorganized, inefficient and lacked the needed supplies to meet the needs of those requiring medical attention, food, water and shelter. In fact, some argue that the disaster lasted longer because of organizations like FEMA whose efforts many call a great failure. Since then many suggestions have been ...
