Abstract

The following examines Mexican American and African-American cultures and the ways that these two cultures interact the dominant white culture in the United States. While on the surface these two cultures might seem to have much in common (given that they are frequently discriminated against minorities in the United States), in point of fact they are very different in the ways that they assimilate into American culture. Anthropologists and sociologists have traditionally used words like “integration” and “acculturation” to describe the process in which immigrant cultures ultimately blend in to (and accommodate themselves to) the dominant culture of the ...

Q (1). What are the standard logistics operational characteristics of a consumer product company?

The logistics operational characteristics are vital towards the success of a company, especially one that provides services and products to consumers (Pontius, 2016). The main focus in such areas is what the customer wants more than what the company can supply. Hence, the company has to come up with strategies that will meet the demands of its clients in the quickest and cost effective way. A proper strategy will enable the company to be ahead of others, regardless of the abnormalities that may occur during low or high tides. The first characteristic is achieving maximum customer service. As stated ...

Abstract

Diversified care is a huge issue in the healthcare administration. One of the reasons for this is funding, another is that patients are becoming more aware of the medical advances that exist and are more demanding in regards to the treatment that they obtain.

Nonetheless, there are many ways that the issue can be addressed and avoided by both looking at the needs of the community and enabling the institution to change and implement the technological advances as they come about. One way ...

The function of golli-MBP is less understood than that of the classic MBP. However, golli-MBP is believed to play an important role in various physiological activities such as the regulation of calcium (Ca) homeostasis especially in oligodendrocytes (OLs) and in T-cells ( Paez et al., 2007). The latter authors investigated this particular property of golli-MBP using fluorescent protein clones, cell lines and imaging techniques. It was revealed that when overexpressed in OL cell lines (N19), the golli proteins activate the elaboration of processes and sheets which retract rapidly following a depolarization with high potassium ions (K+). Simultaneously, a substantial augmentation ...

Racism is a type of discrimination whereby people are subjected to different treatment basing on the connotation and social values attached to the color of their skin.

In the US to be precise, the acts of racism dates back to the time of slavery whereby the Africans were segregated in the south while the whites occupied the northern states.

On one hand the administration of the country had to develop and implement strategies aimed at addressing the immigration crisis . Initially, the country had resorted to sealing the borders to prevent the influx of refugees . However, with international attention on the crisis - especially highlighted by the capsizing of boats carrying refugees in the Mediterranean Sea the nation had to resort to finally accepting immigrants into the nation.

Muscle contraction is a very important activity that enables an organism perform various bodily movements and flexible actions, in response to nerve stimuli. Muscle fibers are multinucleated long cylindrical cells that have an outer membrane called sarcolemma, and are mainly composed of contractile elements called myofibrils (Dougherty, 2016). Myofibrils are made up of repeating units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres in turn are composed of (thin) actin and (thick) myosin protein filaments called myofilaments (Dougherty, 2016). The muscle fiber structure and organization is shown in Fig 1.

According to the sliding filament theory, during contraction myosin filaments remain constant in length, ...

Immigration to Europe started after World War 2 and the rate continued to increase over the years into the 20th century up to date (" Debating Europe"). Western Europe experienced quite a significant percentage of immigration, especially after the World War 2. Currently, there are a sizable number of immigrants consisting of both Europeans and non-Europeans, who are defined as both illegal and legal immigrants. In 2004, the percentage even grew further after the European Union granted a permit for citizens to move freely within the EU nations ("Debating Europe"). The aspect of immigrations has received different reactions; some people ...

Many Latinos from South America, Central America, and Mexico have made decisions to either legally or illegally to immigrate into the United States of America over the past decades.

The exponential increase in the number of the immigrants over the past decades has led to the surge of high-quality documentaries, like Crossing Arizona, produced in the year 2006. In this film, varying degrees ...

Events that led to the influx of refugees in Turkey

The Arab Spring that was experienced in African countries like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, inspired the protest against President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s government in March 2011. The government, in response, sent its forces to contain the protest, and as a result, Syria plunged into civil war (Carpenter 2). As the war continued, alliances, mini-alliances and shifts took place throughout the region, and this led to a complex situation as the war developed dimensions involving Islamic extremists, Assad’s government, rebel groups and ethnic groups. In July 2011, defectors from the Syrian army organized a Free Syrian Army and ...

In the late nineteenth century, America went through a time of progress that was later dubbed the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age is known as a time of economic prosperity, industrial advancement, and population growth. However, the era included many dark times that are masked under the guise of progress and prosperity. The economy took a downward spiral, discrimination was rampant, and corrupt politicians worked with wealthy businessmen to concentrate the country’s wealth in a small population of people. Despite the tough circumstances that were caused by a boom in population growth, immigrants remained a large portion of ...

Introduction

Radical extremism is a sought after media subject today. However, the real picture is always missing. The entire world focusses only one type of radical extremism. The world chooses to forget that there is yet another type which is far more dangerous. The callous campaign of the Crusaders in the Eleventh Century destroyed the peace in the Middle East and is responsible for all the animosity towards the West from this region. Yet, European scholars at the time did not document the massacres or acts of cannibalism by the Crusading armies. Similarly, while the Western media is busy covering ...

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

The camps in Turkey are already overwhelmed and crowded, and it is estimated that 50% of these refugees cannot stay in the camps. Due to the crisis, many of the refugees ...

Introduction

Violence within prison complexes is common in almost all parts of the world. The violence can originate from staff or inmate. The correctional systems in several countries attempted newer approaches to incarceration in order to avoid violence on prison complexes. There are very few complexes in the world that have reduced rates of violence or can claim to be violence free. Instead of rehabilitation, prisoners face entrapment in a dangerous game. The level of accountability towards prisoners and their safety diminishes in regions such as Asia, Middle East, and South America. The United Nations established a set of international ...

Abstract

The use biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are one of the most dangerous form of terrorism ever invented. In contrast to ‘conventional’ suicide bombings, killing sprees, or use of chemical agents, the symptoms of attack are not immediately obvious. Therefore, it requires special response approaches, especially, when a potential attack may take place in a venue, where many people will be present. In addition to potential exposure of tens of thousands of attendees at a Democratic-Republican Party Convention in Miami-Dade, among the participants will be the top politicians of the country, whose safety is a matter of national ...

From the onset of the war, Turkey’s government welcomed asylum seekers and migrants from Syria calling them “guests” as they were looking forward to providing a solution to the war and also to try ...

The debate over unauthorized immigration rages in America for reasons of economics, sociology, politics, morality, and more.

The art of Japan during the Edo period were highly influenced by the Zen Buddhism; most of the paintings have Chinese influences since most of them were done using paintbrush and rendered on silk scrolls. The most prolific Japanese painter known to paint beautiful landscapes was Ogata Korin whose painting iconography is well-known throughout the world because of the delicateness in portraying the images found in the environment especially the flowers and animals. One particular artwork he made during the Edo period was the Red and White Plum Blossoms dated in the 18th century was a diptych makeshift wooden ...

Wars and conflicts with countries and even between two or more of them could bring a lot of death, strife and hunger and many families suffer the least ideal consequences imaginable from the resulting outcomes. Apart from the obvious and the greatest loss, there is one more predicament, the impacts of which last over longer time periods and that is the problem of the people who have become displaced. We can call them refugees when they flee their country, and the same group of people becomes Internally Displaced Persons if they do not cross the borders of their country. ...

Problem Statement and Recommendations

The growing influx of Mid-East refugees into Europe, particularly in last five years, cannot be overemphasized. The mass uprisings, civil wars and political persecution are leading causes for current refugee crisis. The path made by refugees into Europe's heart is, if anything, a major logistical issue, apparently minor but is at core of current refugee crisis. As Mid-East asylum seekers and refugees continue to pour into European countries and across borders, European security is at stake at multiple levels. First, "source" countries – i.e. countries at Europe's southern borders at which refugees first set foot from countries of origin – pose ...

Most member states of the European Union ratified various international treaties and conventions that are supposed to protect human rights. However, reports by various human rights groups have posted disturbing figures about the number of asylum seekers and immigrants who cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe but are not given asylum. Through the provisions of the UNCLOS-United Nation Convention on The Law of the sea, EU member states have an obligation to come to the rescue of a person who is distressed at sea, Follis (2015: 41). The action of various nations from the European Union have been criticised ...

Tourism and the Cuban Economy

I. Introduction and Background Worldwide, the tourism industry has always had a sufficient importance for every state’s economy. Still, this influence can reveal less or more weighty depending on how the tourism sector is conducted by a particular country in toto. Considering the given north Caribbean state, it seems worthwhile saying that the socialist society’s impact on Cuba’s economy has been more than just significant. In the last few decades, Cuba’s tourism has had a tendency to decline. This phenomenon has taken place due to the Cuban economic recession, superfluous internal economic limits, and, without ...

The current growth of higher education has increased the concentrations of students in residential areas in urban centers (Smith, 2005). Most of higher learning institutions have open doors policy for both the local and international students that translate into the influx of students from different cultural backgrounds in residential areas. The firms owning residential buildings interpret studentification as a benefit to their business (Sage, Smith, & Hubbard, 2012). These companies usually inflate the rental charges to match the increased housing demand. The social cohesion in the residential communities has also been adversely affected by the growing number of students in ...

Psychology is the scientific study of how the mind works and how people chose to act.

(Feldman & Dinardo, 2009, p.5) Psychology encompasses many areas of analysis: how people feel, how people act, how they learn, how they are driven, and how they think. Understanding why people behave the way they do can benefit people in many areas of life. If you know why someone does something it is easier to find a way to get them to do it. The reverse is also true that if you know the cause of someone’s behavior you may be able to find the remedy to stop that behavior. This field of study is extremely useful in working ...

With the changes in the American cultural and the movement across countries, America is experiencing global changes that have impacted on the language and the people in the country. These changes have brought about new languages that allow persons to speak more than one language. But what do these changes mean for the society?

Instead, bilinguals are able to communicate on different levels in the society and among different cultures. Bilingualism stems from the influx of immigrants to the American ...

Even though the building of cities has a long and a correspondingly complex history, the concept of city planning as an organized profession has only been around for less than a century (Garvin). Practiced under several names (town, community, urban land use, or physical environment planning), most cities in the current modernistic concept of planning display considerable degrees of forethought and conscious design not only in their physical layout but also in their functioning. Today, the building of cities is done for several reasons that bear in mind the diversity potential of urban forms and the complex functions that ...

Cultural leveling describes how people from different cultures approach each other and try to reach common grounds regarding communication and interaction. This process is evident in Lee’s ethnographic fieldwork. Coming from white society, the researcher exhibited arrogance and considered himself superior, both intellectually and culturally, to the !Kung bushmen. He did this by extending to or cutting off the supply of tobacco from the Bushmen since he was the only source of the commodity in 1000 square miles (Lee). Besides, he neither shared his food with the Bushmen nor participated in their food-gathering activities. For this reason, the ...

Even more interestingly, there are some specific cultural minorities in Taiwan, like the Hakka people, with their own cultural traditions, beliefs, foods, and even languages. In reality, China and Taiwan are complex social networks made up of varied cultural groups. The Hakka Chinese are one of ...

Canada is known for its breathtaking landscapes and mountain views in the West. These views have been accessible to tourists, migrators, and businesspeople alike thanks to the introduction of railways across the country. During a time when people did not own cars and air travel was virtually nonexistent, railroad travel was revolutionary. This was the first time that people could freely travel across the country and explore the world outside of their home. Canadian nationalism has increased thanks to this railway, as the country is now united by train tracks from east to west. The Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPR) ...
