Answer 1) the reason why Europe and France are considered such important markets for Netflix is because they represent a large proportion of the population that has access to broadband services.

Secondly, the US market has become highly saturated while the market in Europe for online video streaming services is still in the growing phase. Therefore in order to cover its rising expenditures, it is important for Netflix to be able to ...

“Learning to Read” by Frederick Douglass

In “Learning to Read” Frederick Douglass wrote the story of his personal experience with one of the most prohibited and dangerous acts that a slave in the pre-Civil War South could do: learning to read. It is a narrative that is both shocking and revealing of insight into the times and place where it took place, the power of the institution and practice of slavery to dictate evil into the hearts of men and women, and of the dedication and strength of the personality of Frederick Douglass. A close reading demonstrates not only Douglass' narrative techniques, but his skills ...

Part A. Answer the following questions based on the literature:

PTP (Pretrial publicity) creates a set of problems that forensic social/cognitive/experimental psychologists are uniquely qualified to address. What are some of these problems? Hint: they are psychological (social/cognitive) and legal (procedural/substantive). Thus, begin by addressing: why we are concerned with PTP at all? What are the alleged effects and what does the social science research indicate regarding these effects (be specific in citing literature)? One of the problems, caused by Pre-Trial Publicity is the cognitive one. This means that juries get the information about the case under some circumstances, identified by the pre-trial mass media articles, which they ...

http://nypost.com/2016/02/19/are-we-finally-moving-beyond-the-hook-up-culture/ Chelsea Samelson writes for the New York Post in this article regarding how American’s views on sex have changed in the last decade. The article essentially summarizes a study conducted by OKCupid, where both men and women were asked “Would you consider sleeping with someone on the first date?” and “Would you date someone just for the sex?” The results of the questions revealed that in response to the first question, there was a 19% decline in participants answering yes. For the second question, there was a 10 percent decline. According to Samelson, this says a lot ...

The popularity of online dating apps such as Tinder, Grindr, Hinge and Coffee meets bagel and more has not only increased the dating pool for people but has also accelerated the hookup culture that has been around for a while. Hookups aren’t a new phenomenon. The sexual revolution of the sixties, growing incomes and independence of young adults means that they no longer follow the traditional route of getting married young and having kids. Young people, especially college going adults put their career ahead of marriage and settling down. This does not necessarily mean that they lose out ...

For my first reading journal, I chose to discuss the first four chapters in Michael Kimmel’s “Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men” In the first two chapters, “Guyland” is introduced as “the stage of a young man’s life between adolescence and adulthood.” (pg. 4) Kimmel then begins to set the tone: members of Guyland are essentially man children who didn’t receive enough guidance in their lives, and they now exist in a limbo-like state of life, where hook-ups and bouncing from job to job are common, and socialization between men involves frat parties, excessive ...

Fundamentally, the main theme in Freitas’ book “The End of sex” is that young people have developed pressure to involve themselves in the casual sex and other similar circumstances. The author describes this situation as the “hook up” culture. According to Freitas, “hookup” phenomenon in young people, particularly the students has varied descriptions and so the definitions. According to some people, hookup may mean kissing, or the mouth or oral sex. Conversely, the majority perceive it as the virginal intercourse. According to Freitas, the hookup process leads to the emergence of a group of students who ignore books such ...

Armstrong, England, and Fogarty (2012, p. 454) found that women were more likely to enjoy sex and experience orgasms in relationships than in hook-ups. Based on the qualitative data obtained from interviews with both men and women, the researchers found that all participants reported that “men are typically not concerned with women’s pleasure in hookups, but both reported that men are very attentive to women’s pleasure in relationships” (Armstrong et al., 2012, p. 458). The results were attributed to gender inequality because the double standard suggests that both men and women deserve reciprocal sexual satisfaction in relationships, ...

Introduction

The main idea of a research proposal is identification of important social issues, for which an additional research is needed to clarify them, and, in some cases, to justify the need of sponsorship and to describe the main ideas of an investigation. Among the most important of this academic and sometimes business activity are succinct, yet informative abstract and introduction with an absorbing narrative hook. This paper discusses the main elements of these components of a research proposal, as well as it speculates about irrelevance of rhetorical questions in academic and business research.

The Canterbury Tales is one of the greatest pieces of literature because of Chaucer’s story-telling techniques. He weaves together various stories and characters to create this memorable tale that continues to be studied and examined throughout the ages. However, some of the pilgrim’s tales are more engaging to the readers than other ones. For instance, the Knight’s Tale is filled with courtly love, jousting and war scenes, as well as the time honored knight’s code. It can be considered a tale of courtly love as well as an epic due to its writing style. Despite ...

Fell et al. argues that “implementing a federal requirement for states to mandatory examine older drivers is the key to end road carnage(424” .Fatal crashes for older drivers are significantly different to those of other age groups. Drivers aged 70 in most instances intersection crashes are common while driving given that, the older driver is turning right across traffic and accidents where the older driver drives off the road (Fell et al. 423-431). It is essential for old drivers to have a medical examination each year so that to retain their license. As elderly drivers reach 70 years ...

The McCarthy Era was one that was fraught with conflict. The world had changed in the years after the Second World War, and those changes led to one of the most divisive geopolitical paradigms in modern history. In this time period, the world seemed divided into two groups: those who opposed communism, and those who supported it as an idea. In the United States, the debate raged on, fueled by men like J. Edgar Hoover and Sidney Hook. Documents from both these individuals will be discussed and analyzed in this text, focusing on the different ideological stances held by ...

In health care, accounts receivables represent due payments from patients for services offered and payments due from insurance companies (Ferenc 169). The accounts receivables constitute the largest part of hospitals current assets in a balance sheet (Ferenc 169). Hospitals employ resources that cost money in offering services to patients hence they require an adequate cash flow. Patient statements and claim forms are prepared for billing after patients have received medical services. Managing the accounts receivables in a hospital requires an effective system that captures all the events in the accounts receivables’ cycle (Ferenc 172). The cycle begins with the ...

In his work entitled, The Lover's Dictionary, David Levithan recounts the ups and downs of romance. Specifically, Levithan uses words to describe the aspects of the relationships. It is a quite revealing book in the sense that there is a unique structure to it whereby the words read like a dictionary. Arguably, the overall tone of the novel is similar to that of Drake's "Hotline Bling." The song, along with the music video remains a viral sensation because of the antsy and catchy dynamics that are woven within it. Lyrically, Drake tells the story of an ex, who has ...

Each and every piece of art is being connected to some particular period of history: to its key events, to its main personalities. The appearance of the photography has made the artists’ reactions onto some particular events even more intense, as it gave them much more freedom for the creation. Nowadays, one of such key issues of the modern world is the terrorism and each artist sees this issue differently, putting his or hers own sense in it. What do pictures tell the viewer?

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Chinese people consumed Opium on an everyday basis mainly adding it into the cigarettes, and it took a long time till people understood that opium was very addictive. The demand increased with every purchase. Countries made huge amounts of money on opium trade, while many civilians died from addiction. Until 1839, opium was announced illegal in China, but later on, two very important wars were triggered over the drug. Wars have always been a symbol of unresolved issues, far from straightforward, and well worth pursuing to learn about the inconspicuous motives. ...

When most people hear the word gun, they automatically think of crime. The two have always come hand-in-hand since the invention of guns. Many news reports have stories of people being robbed at gunpoint, or there is an armed gunman on the loose.

It is an economical and powerful communication option in which telephone networks and data networks are combined. As the Internet protocol network can carry traditional telephone traffic, it offers both opportunities and challenges to all the telephone service companies. Since the traditional circuit-switched network works as a complex web of a large number of interrelated technologies that have evolved over more than 15 years, just the transmission technology replacement ...

In unison, the community around the Sandy Hooks Elementary School, the nation and the international community at large rallied behind the victims of the tragic events. However, one academician in particular shocked the world, the nation and more so, the victims of the fatal shootings (Jaschik, 2015).

Introduction

The security of schools is a major priority for the administrative personnel in such institutions. As such, they are likely to employ different methods to strengthen the security situation in schools. One of the methods, which are likely, is that of arming the school staff with guns.

Therefore, the essay aims at addressing the demerits and problems that are likely to arise when guns are used to protect schools.

Secondly, the use of guns by school employees undermines the role played by police professionals who are ...

Hospital gowns are never intended to make a fashion statement. They are more intended for comfort, along with saving and protecting the dignity of the patient from unnecessary exposure.

Typical hospital gowns can be made from a mix of cotton polyester blend or just pure cotton fiber. There is also an option of flannel material for enhancing the patient’s comfort during winter months. Hospital gowns can be designed either on unisex format ...

The Tea Party movement in the United States is greatly influencing the political agenda of the Republican National Party. Although the Tea Party movement did not get its running start until late 2009, the movement has gained great momentum since the midterm elections of 2010. Furthermore, the 2014 midterm election results on all three levels of government (national, statewide and local) reiterates the popular notion that the Tea Party movement fails to be merely a passing phenomenon, but is fundamentally changing the Republican Party (Hook 1).

The Tea Party is primarily made up of conservative and libertarian politicians, among the ...

Introduction

Gun control debate has attracted heated debate on whether the use of gun should be controlled or should not in the United States. Different political sides have assumed hardline stands on the issue. This is evident from the proponents for gun legislation control and the opponents for the control of gun use. President Barack Obama has made his intentions clear on gun control in congress. This was exclusively after the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. Obama confirmed his proposal on the need of congress to pass the legislations that will check the ownership and usage of guns.

In the recent past, school violence has been identified as a serious problem in several countries, and the problem has been made worse in the incidents where guns and knives are involved. Generally, the violence involves fights between students, as well as physical fights carried out on school staff. One form of school violence which has received a lot of attention from the media, as well as the public, is school shootings.

Medication errors are estimated to cause approximately 7000 deaths annually and cost approximately $2 billion in added health care spending. Improving the safety outcomes of medication-use processes in hospitals has been cited as a means of addressing this issue. Careful and planned use of information technology is a proven approach to solve a majority of medication errors made with paper-based systems (Paoletti et al., 2007). These systems have been found to provide much better compliance with the “five rights” of medication administration: right patient, right dose, right route, right time, and right medication (Hook, 2008). Accordingly, the present paper describes a test ...

Introduction

Managing people is a complex task as there are no specific rules that could make sure that people would behave in the most appropriate manner (Henry, 1995). The behavior of the individual is difficult to predict and with organizations increasingly focusing on diversity in the workforce, this is creating more difficult for organizations to manage people. With more people belonging from diverse background in organizations today, it has resulted in increasing complexities in managing people (Foot, & Hook, 2011). Therefore managing workforce or people at the organization have become much more complex than it used to be few years back. ...

Part I:

I believe that, despite the seemingly mercurial and boundary-less morality of Peter Pan, there are instances in which he shows himself to have a moral code. Even though he seems less restricted than many, and he is seen by Wendy and the others to be the stereotypical naughty boy, who never wants to grow up and always gets in trouble, he acts according to a code of ethics. He is dedicated to the protection of Wendy and the Lost Boys, and seems to be very kind to those for whom he feels responsible. He saves Tiger Lily from Captain Hook at ...

Nobody hates looking at women’s funny character in movies. Something that mulvey well put across. The conditions of watching a move in the cinema gives authority to a voyeuristic spectatorship. All spectators are chirping characters taking pleasure and watching others while they remain unseen. In other fields, feminists have identified voyeurism as violence that is because of gender. The chirping character is most often a man-watching female without her knowledge. Most of the funny erotic scenes, you find a woman fully exposing her body and private parts but never will you find a man doing so. The power of the man’s look ...

Introduction

The neurophysiology of nerve pulses in the cell were the subject of the online laboratory experiment in order to better understand neuron communication from inside a cell to the outside of a cell. One of the incredible characteristics of the nervous system is its capability to communicate due to the existence of neurons. Neurons show a measurable response to their environment by producing an electrical signal. We can smell due to olfactory sensory neurons that can directly react to perfume, food or anything with an odor; these odors are the sensory stimuli. The function of the receptor potential is to trigger an ...

Jane Doe

n/a n/a William Goulding’s novel, Lord of the Flies has not only been a classic piece of literature that is studied and admired throughout both the literary and academic world. The fascinating story of a group of young boys stranded on an island after their plane crashes was also produced into a film in 1963 by director Peter Brook, and then remade in 1990 by director Harry Hook. After observing the 1990 version of the film I was able to capture numerous core concepts and theories of sociology that were applicable to the events unfolding among the characters of ...

The Second Amendment, commonly referred to as the right to bear arms, is the constitutional provision that guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms. Even though in the text it talks of militias and people, the Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller interpreted it to also include the right of an individual to bear arms. The philosophy underpinning its inclusion by the founding fathers was the inalienable right of self defense and the duty of the citizen to act in defense of the state, whether in resisting oppression or external aggression (Johnson, ...

Summary and Annotation

Putting Walden’s philosophy and that of Henry David Thoreau, it is easy to notice the interconnectedness of their philosophies and their practicality. Both use metaphors that in the end become a philosophic system. Walden speaks about the relationship between man and his environment. Thoreau on the other hand demonstrates that human beings can overcome struggle that exists between the self and the society but then, nothing can be trusted if proof is not offered, “No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof.”(Hamby 1). These try to bring out meaning of the inherent things ...

Several states across America are proposing that school employees should be allowed to carry concealed weapons at school. This was prompted by the Sandy Hook mass murder. Twenty first-graders and six adult staff members were killed in mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the quiet village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012. Adam Lanza, the man behind what is now considered the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in American history, was reported to have killed his mother at their Newtown home before driving to the school. Despite the upgraded security protocol ...

Conspiracy theories and rumors are the creation of people who have extraordinary minds to exaggerate ideas and event happenings in a non-desirable or negative way. People who spread rumors tend to have a lack of education and wisdom. However, it is also observed that even education does not stop people from sharing information that is not even known to exist. Some people disseminate information while threatening about something such as GMO foods or weapons of mass destruction etc. Thus, it is a continuing practice in today’s world to speak without thinking and believing in things or rumors that do not exist ...

‘Instructor’s Name’

‘Subject’ Should the US have stricter gun control laws? Guns have a special place in American history and Americans have always had a love for firearms. This love affair for guns started in the seventeenth century, when the early settlers were required to carry gun to protect themselves from Indian attacks. The ‘Kentucky rifle’ of the 1700s, Samuel Colt of the nineteenth century and WWII veterans bringing home their enemy guns as trophies are all symbols of the proud American past. However, the spate of recent mass shootings has called for a stricter regulation of gun ownership and distribution. The ...

(Institution Name) Have you heard about Sandy Hook? A fanatic who was a media violence junkie murdered twenty innocent children, along with six staff members. In the past few years, gun violence has been on the rise in many previously peaceful countries in the world and researchers are claiming that the attackers are usually people who have been fed violence via different media channels, predominantly TV and video games, since early childhood. These children grow up to glamorize the people who hold guns and kill innocent human beings. It is safe to say that media’s romanticized portrayal ...

The Importance of Implementing Stronger Background Check System

for Gun Sales in the U.S.

Vice President Joe BidenThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NWWashington, DC 20500

Dear Vice President Biden: In relation to the series of gun-related violence that have mostly occurred within school premises in the recent years, here is a report that analyzes the best way to protect people from being victims in active shooting incidents.

This recommendation is based on the fact that strengthening the background check systems will ensure that only mentally and emotionally fit ...

Objective: Hook’s is a fundamental topic of physics and few divisions of engineering like Civil and Mechanical engineering. This law helps to perceive elastic property of a material. As per this principle of physics, force needed to compress or extend a spring by some amount of distance is proportional to the distance. If F is force and x is distance, then as per Hook's law, F = -k.X, where k is termed as stiffness and it is constant for a material rather the spring. Purpose of this experiment was to find spring constant (k).

Shobbit Shabhara’s case is not an isolated scenario. In fact, in most terror activities performed by individuals in the U.S., a similar pattern has been observed not only in the U.S. but in other parts of Europe where diverse cultures are common. The story of the Boston bombing where a pair of Chechen brothers from Dagestan developed a passion for terrorism after living in America for more than 10 years is just one example of how some individuals can be hateful even though the country has accepted them without hesitation. The United States was traditionally considered by social scientists ...

Bob Dylan’s song uses lyrics about to the divine in his song ‘With god on its side’. The title is also the main hook of the song as well demonstrating the importance of god and the divine. The use of a main hook line and title with the lyrics ‘God Bless the U.S.A’ is used by Greenwood in his song with equal importance. Both songs appeal to patriotism and the divine however the difference is that Dylan’s lyrics are satirical and don’t necessarily mean what they say directly. Greenwood’s language is not satirical and the listener ...
