To them, practicing agriculture or farming is not being uncivilized. Elias Boudinot ...

Sociologists consider sports as a microcosm of the society. On the one hand, sports are viewed as the product and on the other hand, the reflection of the society.

Norbert Elias and Weber Contribution to Economy

Abstract: This paper argues that in their respective works, Norbert Elias and Max Weber came up with different arguments on a psychological and sociological plane for the explanation of society and the modern economy. Whilst Elias is more focused historically on the development of the individual, Weber argues that history is not necessarily a good case study for sociological development. However while both authors use an element of sociological Darwinism in their arguments, they are far apart on the schools of thought regarding economic and social development in the modern age.

Insurance investment is a rather heated debate especially given the fact that insurance, at its core, covers risks traversing a vast range of fields and application. Investing in insurance and more specifically; when considering life insurance requires diversification of the investment field.

Leadership and administration is another important aspect that is so often neglected by many; yet its importance cannot be overemphasized. ...

There are many factors that influence the growth of law in many regions. They range from religion to ties they had with their colonial masters.

This is because they severed their ties with their colonial masters earlier than others, and the process of being independent began immediately. The original inhabitants of the land had a way of living that was based on their cultural ...

In recent years, the debate upon the influence of video games to young and teenage gamers have been in the headlines and debates in many forums.

The western and the war film are both distinctly violent films – they are basically about revenge, defeating the adversary, and operating in a wilderness of sorts (the Old West, compared to the jungles of Vietnam or the beaches of Normandy). In many films of this genre, the protagonist is unfamiliar with the harshness of the environment around them – they are not accustomed to violence, and must find themselves in the process. Two such characters are, respectively, Mattie Ross in the 1969 western True Grit and Chris Taylor in the 1986 war film Platoon. Both are young, idealistic characters who slowly ...

Section 1: The Impact of Disoriented emotions on Sexual Performance amongst War Veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq by Nunninck et al. (2010)

In this non experimental study, four post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) cluster conceptualizations were utilized to enhance evaluation of the role that each of the clusters played in enhancing sexual functioning. The study prediction was based on the assumption that given the intimacy that is enhanced through emotional detachment and sexual encounter (reported by the individuals that had PTSD), the sexual numbness symptoms were hardly likely capture many variance that accounted for the sexual functioning and PTSD. All these clusters were closely connected to the sexual complications in a group of 196 veterans that had participated in Pakistan and Afghanistan wars.
