Abstract

An element of bias in any decision making process may be triggered off by various factors. One factor that can have a profound impact is the deeply ingrained value system of the decision taker. A conservative interviewer might find the dress of a lady candidate too ‘loud’ and that may color his decision to select the candidate. Such biases can at best be minimized and cannot be ruled out completely. Decisions are often termed as rational choices (Samuelson & Zeckhauser, 1988). Selecting the best choice highlights the rationality behind the decision making process. One can try to impersonalize the decision ...

Explorations of the novel, and of the depiction of Hester’s character, her punishment, and her actions in the novel can help reveal whether Hawthorne was realistically ...

Antigone is a dreadful tragedy written around 441 BC by the Sophocles. It was the last of the Theban plays but chronologically written first.

Abstract

In the society today, everyone desires to remain young, active, and self-dependent. However, the forces of nature do not allow human beings to survive forever in the environment. People have to die for others to be born (Aldrich, Kiyota, Arnold, & Tanaka, 2015.). Everyone must go through old age if they successfully escape from other fatalities that cause pre-mature deaths. Our society treats senior citizens differently.

With the parents, teachers, and scholars harping on the negatives of corporal punishment, various schools have already banned this archaic practice of imposing discipline on students. There is no denying the fact that arguments against corporal punishment rule the roost in the ongoing debates. Most of the published articles and available literature endorse a positive connection between corporal punishment and aggression and antagonism among children. Nonetheless, my perception is a bit different. I favor this age-old practice for its efficacy, and a deeper analysis of some of the studies does support my understanding. A large-scale meta-analysis conducted in 2002 ...

Abstract

Chinese entrepreneurship is known to be influenced by historically traditional and cultural characteristics. The concept of Chinese businesses that the family patriarch critically manages them continues to hold true, although in the modern world as opposed to two decades ago, it has slowly changed. However, much of the management is held by a male member of the family, whether they operate a business upon their property or if they lease or rent the property. The tradition of a Chinese family-run business retains its discernible mark in worldwide business.

However, since I first saw the video about the Ramayana, I started to gain some interest in religion. I thought that religion might be amiable and interesting given that some ...
