Cognitive processes are complex and entangled, involving a multiplicity of elements and factors, which still makes it a remaining mystery for many researchers and scholars.

Problem Statement

There are a number of reasons, defined by the ethical as well as the economic and the political scenes, for the non-diminishing interest in addressing the gap between the rich and the poor. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is an aphorism, which outlines the major views on economic inequality and the criticism, seen in academic and business literature, towards the philosophy of free market and capitalism in general. One of the principal works, laying the foundation for the discussion, is the work by Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century (2014), who places the idea ...

Introduction

Modern global economic system is a considerably distinct from the dogmatic frameworks of political economy (Mankiw, 2014).

In addition, Gartner wrote that there is an increasingly important need to stay in line with the perpetually evolving customers’ preferences (2006), and the smallest disharmony with their predilections may result ...

Abstract

Can female participation in the labor force contribute to economic growth? Is there a causal relationship between female participation in the labor force and economic growth?

The result does not support a two-way causality between the variables. However, a causality running from GDP per ...

Granted this article does not speak to his presidency and the policies he did or did not pass. However, ...

Role and labor of a woman in American Society

Sex is the difference between females and males resulting from physical, natural and genetic distinctions. Gender is constructed basically on social and cultural conventions (Goldin 1983). A woman in today’s American Society is fairly equivalent to a man. In the early America society, women were always subjected to running household chores like, cooking and cleaning. They were challenged with opposing messages about their role in society. In the early days, stringent gender role discrimination gave men more power in public and civil world while women were placed with responsibility of maintaining the home.
