Environmental crimes include unregulated fishing, illicit trade of hazardous waste, smuggling of ODS (ozone-depleting substances), illegal logging, wild animal traffic, electronic waste management, as wee as dumping in rivers. Analytically, environmental crimes are sensitive and dangerous to the living things. Militant groups and criminal gangs profit from some ...

One of the main advantages of literature lies in its ability to communicate various cultural experiences and provide greater knowledge and deeper understanding of foreign traditions for the reader.

In addressing the issue of religious values, the authors of two books, Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us about Living in the West and Children of Dust: A Portrait of a Muslim as a ...

Dear Finders and Losers,

In a second you will have a better idea what I am referring to. No, I am not trying to offend or mock you. I will talk about one of the oldest idioms that we still use in the era of Netflix, Snapchat and Facebook Live. The English language uses a lot of idioms that came from the ancient times, to be more precise Shakespeare times. Therefore, some of them are already outdated and do not connect to the modern reality. One of such phrases is “finders keepers, losers weepers” that has originated in the fifteenth century. A lot ...

In order to get to collage, I had to make many challenging decisions. At a particular time in my life, I realized that most of the things that we do come as an instinct. However, that marks the difference between these events is the outcomes that are associated. The difference is also observed from how they affect our lives in a different way compared to the possible outcome in case they could have been done differently. Eventually, the occurrence of these events and how we influence them is a matter of our mindset. The outcomes always depend on whether ...

Introduction

Research Paper

Abstract The youth is the most at-risk group in terms of gang membership nowadays. It has been found in several studies that gang involvement largely appeal to adolescents, especially those living in poor neighborhoods, estranged or alienated in schools, and in conflict with police authorities or the larger criminal justice system.

Introduction

The concept of discrimination at the workplace has gone through a significant transformation as societal norms evolved under the pressure of globalization and urbanization, international mobility and access to information. While a lot have changed since the US have accepted equal employment opportunities and freedom of its black population, many will argue that gender and racial discrimination are still deeply embedded in employment relationships (Shen et al, 2009).

Some people would say that delayed transition to adulthood is a poor decision. Individuals argue that it puts people behind, mentally, in relation to how they are supposed to function in society. However, there are other people who would say that it is a double-edged sword. The reason people would argue this, is because when an individual has a delayed transition to adulthood, they get to explore more of who they are. Moreover, the reading “The Longest Decade” expands upon this as well. What it says about delayed transition to adulthood, is that giving time for individuals to discover ...

Choosing the most appropriate business approach within a firm presents a very delicate process owing to the ever-transforming business world. Discovery-driven teams operate on the basis that business firm assumptions regarding business models are appropriately tested and stated (McGrath, 2010). Execution driven teams, on the other hand, incorporate the breaking down of strategies into objectives, hierarchically incorporating the objectives, evaluating the achievement of the laid down objectives, and excellent performance (Sull, Homkes, & Sull, 2015). Discovery-driven planning calls for chronology in handling business ideas from their conception. The executive teams are expected to steer the business towards success by pursuing ...

Introduction

In their attempt to identify appropriate research approaches in politics, feminists have often criticized traditional social science methodologies. In her article on women and democracy and the patriarchal welfare state, Carole Pateman raises the issue of the highly patriarchal political scene. She indicates that the positive and social democratic perspective is that a welfare state provides social meaning and equal worth to the political and juridical rights of all citizens. A second, more pessimistic, view on the welfare state, according to Pateman (1987) is that it provides the government with new approaches to exercising power over and governing the ...

The Impact of Technology on Urban Life and Urbanization

Question One The argument that the Course Directors present, with regard to the five key points that are discussed in this paper, is that while technology has historically paved the way to the progress of communities through effective communication, it simultaneously produces a widening gap between those who have greater power and those who does not (York University, 2016). In Splintering Urbanism and the Future of Cities, the Course Directors state that the evolution of technology has led to global urbanization; this, in turn, has resulted in the splintering of the urban society. This weakens the poor and strengthens ...

The mechanistic structure comprises a bureaucratic or hierarchical arrangement with formalised practices or procedures along with centralised authority and focuses on control and specialisation.

Organic structures are more practical as compared to mechanistic structures in a rapidly changing business environment of the modern world mainly because of the flexibility. The mechanistic structures offset the creativity, flexibility, and autonomy required in the contemporary world to ...

Intelligence is a broad term which has various meaning attached to it, in all the languages of the world. Philosophers have been trying to understand and explain the meaning of the term ‘intelligence’ since centuries, and each one of them has come up with their own exemplification of the term. For example, Einstein terms intelligence, not as the occupation of knowledge, but it is more of imagination and creativity. Socrates, on the other hand, believes that intelligence is the self-knowledge of claiming that one knows nothing. Moving from philosophers, people have considered understanding the meaning of the term from ...

Discrimination and stereotyping affect those it is directed to and deny them the various opportunities to be productive and successful members of society. Therefore, this paper aims to show that the only way to stop discrimination is to experience what the discriminated group goes ...

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities.

Challenges of Multiculturalism

In a world with a large number of issues undergoing the complicated process of resolving like racial and gender discrimination, it is of no wonder that heated debates and arguments have been happening in all corners of the society.

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years.

Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

A General Framework I have always been interested in the role of women in different regions of the world, especially in the Middle East and Asian regions. I was always fascinated by the ways in which women were treated in these parts of the world. This is because women have been known to be discriminated against.

The media have given the depiction of female-instigated violence a partial coverage, and the belief has been otherwise. In fact, the reporting and the perception of the society have been oriented to male- instigated violence and this construed thought has had a place in the media reporting parlance. Based on this desertion, I have realized a series of shortfalls that have often marred reporting and coverage of female instigated violence. Therefore, I can attest that the partiality in this reporting has construed the social mindsets that male propagates most violence, and the public belief has been that female aggressions ...

Introduction For decades, the life of a woman on earth was always tough. The woman was subjected to different restrictive laws and requirements by the society that hindered her freedom and other rights, (Winegarten, & McArthur, 2015). The requirements were the polite ways through which the community oppressed women and suppressed their rights and freedoms. During the Seneca Falls women’s right’s convention, it was clearly evident that women were never comfortable with the place the society had placed them. Before 1848, woman was generally treated as subordinate to the man and their roles and rights were always considered ...

A New Relationship between Christians and Jews

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with the Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking can still be found before Vatican Council II and even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904: “The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superseded by the teachings of Christ” (Cunningham 2). Saint Paul wrote ...
