Where did the idea of the American Dream first originate? Immigrants to the New World were bent on creating a new society, one that thrived on democratic principles, where they could worship freely and having equal standing in the eyes of the law regardless of their financial situation or social status.

However, the students hear about the dreads of plagiarism and its consequences so often that for the most sensitive of them, writing process becomes really terrible.

Abstract

It is possible to sort out three major counter-productive actions that took place throughout the meeting (although there were much more). First of all, the meeting started with a formal recital of orders that were imposed on the task force, instead of democratically sharing the views of the new management on the possible review of policies with the selected professionals. Secondly, the topic of new uniform (or scrubs) turned into the public ostracism of the nurse due to her appearance, which is in fact an action punishable by law. The ad hominem accusations prevented the meeting from ...

In fact, when a firm fails to secure and protect company-client secrecy, it ends up losing its customer or dignity.

Fundamentally, confidentiality affects one’s personal and professional ethics. Companies are expected to keep personal information such as social security numbers, telephone numbers, passwords, Surnames, and addresses confidential. During lawsuits, however, a business may be required to provide such information without their employees’ ...

How materials behave is dependent on various factors, some of which include their mechanical properties. When the material experiences various loading conditions, its behavior reflects its mechanical conditions as well as the effect of the loading conditions.
