For example, an A-rated source may pass misinformation due to organizational errors or deliberate action, such as counterespionage efforts. The level of confirmation is based ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

1. How would you characterize Martha Stewart’s initial public relations response to the charges against her? Martha Stewart’s initial response was inappropriate. She should have shifted from her usual image of being blunt, stern and tight-lipped to a more accommodating. She did not answer the press when asked and instead went online later to issue her response. Her stance conveyed an image of aloofness. It was time to speak but instead she stayed silent. She needed to reassure her supporters and stakeholders that she is fine and they will overcome the problems. 2. What key public relations ...

Globalization is defined as a social, economic, and political process that makes it easier for people, goods, ideas and capital to travel around the world at an unprecedented pace.

Happiness has almost always been associated with money. This is particularly a general belief in more urban areas in which amenities and conveniences are almost always purchased by money. The argument of whether money could buy happiness or not is perennial. However, meanings of both money and happiness change over years not only for communities across ages but also for individuals over different life phases. For supporters of moneyed happiness, so to speak, happiness – interpreted as enjoying what modern life has to offer including all consumables and even spiritual practices – cannot only be achieved without money but is, in ...

The consensus formed over several decades that supported the globalizing efforts of free trade advocates across the political spectrum seems to be tearing apart. According to Eduardo Porter’s New York Times article “In ‘Brexit’ and Trump, a Populist Farewell to Laissez-Faire Capitalism,” large segments of voters in both major political parties are both highly motivated to go to the polls and hold very negative views of the forces wrought by free trade and other reductions in global economic borders. Porter points to the recent vote in Great Britain to exit the European Union as evidence of the surprising ...

In the closing days of the first quarter of 2011 (March 28), The New York Times restricted access to its once free-read news website The Times, except for the home page and the front pages of each section (Kumar, et al., 2013). Users who exceed its free 20 articles each month were directed into its digital subscription page, which is referred to as “the paywall.” The test launching, however, occurred mid-way through March in Canada. The goal: to test paid reading acceptance. The newspaper battled for the value of its journalism. The critics decried its short-sightedness. However, the digital ...

For many centuries women had to struggle to make a place for themselves in society. Some have become successful but many are still mistreated by their families as well as their society.

The purpose of her speech was to encourage people to see that women contribute to the success of society and that any violation of a woman’s right should be regarded as a human rights violation.

If I am to be given the chance to personally speak to the next president with regards to the Drone (or T-Tip) Policy, the first thing I will do is to clarify questions. The first question is who is the actual target of the policy? It is important for the president to address this concern because as mentioned in the policy, it is intended for all Al Qaeda forces and its associated forces. If the policy is intended to eradicate terrorism, should not it extend to all terrorist groups? I will inform the president that there must be a ...

Fearing that there could be dire implications towards the nation’s democratic ideals, many people in America have aired their criticism regarding state laws that bans felons from voting. Law professor and New York Times columnists, Janai S. Nelson, criticized the practice as ‘anti-democratic’ and discriminatory. In a New York Times article dated April 2016, Nelson stated that the running policies of felony disenfranchisement in the United States are comparable to “ the antiquated laws that excluded women, people of color and the poor from the ballot box,” which, according to Nelson, is “an anti-democratic tool with a sordid history ...

Post Crisis Change Management in Business Organizations

Business Organizations are often confronted by situations which induce their owners to re- examine their policies and processes. These situations are termed as crisis and needs reformulation of organizational processes, in absence of which the existence of the organization may be threatened. These situations may erupt from failure to anticipate the internal and external consequences from economic, political, ethical and technological changes related to organizational activities. Even if they are anticipated, crisis may not be altogether averted; only it helps in formulating contingency plans that are used to address post crisis situation and calls for initiating changes in the ...

In America today there is a great deal of anger, strife and unrest. In fairness it is impossible in a diverse land to “please” everyone. The reality is that much of this social unrest stems from a number of reasons. Three of those reasons include income, race and gender as it exists in this modern era. While each can be discussed and addressed individually, they are, in fact, completely intertwined. Despite the ideal that America is based on the ideas of equality for all Americans is something of a myth in many towns, cities and states across the country. ...

A sudden child death is death in an infant which occurs precipitously and unexpectedly. The causes of most sudden child deaths are often not immediately evident to prior investigation. This is due to the fact that it takes less disease to kill an infant than it would take to kill an adult (PBS, 2011). A child can die as a result of a pre-existing medical condition. However, medical practitioners have always found it very difficult to find a link between a sudden child death and the child’s pre-existing medical condition. Hence, when medical examiners fail to diagnose a ...

Nowadays, many people will stipulate that the Great Recession of a few years ago was just as bad, if not worse, than the Great Depression. There are similarities and patterns, to be sure. The effect globally was indeed worse this time around, because the world’s banks are far more intertwined and globalized now. People experienced a hard time getting back on their feet, and we had (and still have) a congress that is completely ineffective, throwing money at problems rather than actually fixing the regulations that allowed such a tremendous recession to take place. On the other hand, ...

People receive a number of messages every single day from just about anyone and anything. For instance, when people see a No Smoking sign in a public place, it is a message that they will consciously receive. This means that these people know that they are being told not to smoke within the area. However, there are many times when people receive messages unconsciously. These messages are called subliminal messages. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word subliminal to be the things that can influence a person’s mind unnoticeably (“Subliminal”). Subliminal messages are used in several ways ...

Hedstrom Plastics headquartered in Ashland, Ohio is one of the largest manufacturers of rotomolding plastic (Official Website, n.d.).

During its process of production, the plastic is placed in an oven for the purpose of molding. The company has already cleared its intention to sustainability by replacing fossil fuels ...

Native Oil

Oil, a source of wealth and power, is often a contested ground of conflict. This conflict is further intensified if erupting between parties of different cultural backgrounds. Then again, conflict over oil assumes further intensity still if accompanied by acts of mass displacement of native populations. The enjoyment of wealth becomes, accordingly, a double crime of capturing natural resources illegally and occupying native land. The case of Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota is one most insightful example (McDonald).   Red Tipped Arrow, or Tex Hall, is a tribal leader who controls, via a board, one-third of oil production in ...

The Cuban missile crisis of 1962 has become a pivotal event in the history of the United States since 1929.

In order to convince the reader how critical this moment was for the history and future of the world, I will describe the background and development of this event and analyze the actions of both sides of the crisis: the USA and the Soviet Union.

The son of a former Black Panther, this ode to his mother provides a glimpse into the conundrum of surviving in the wake of being poor and black on public assistance. What Shakur unknowingly reveals is the image of welfare in a more empathetic and realistic way that illuminates instead of ignoring the lived realities of its recipients. While Shakur’s lyric is compassionate in it’s depiction, conservative lawmakers are less considerate in their elucidation of ...

The quest for overachievement is one which has become central to current U.S. culture. Driven by a growing sense of beating peers, parents and children stretch limits to outperform and win. Probably, sports, particularly so called "dangerous sports", represent one most notable area in which (helicopter) parents and children compete to achieve excellence. In pursuing an eternal dream of overachievement, children (self motivated or, more commonly, pushed by parents and coaches) are subject to a host of risks in contacting one another during physical activity, a concern which only highlights growing debate over whether dangerous sports particularly football and ...

Censorship is the practice of examining movies, books, art, and media among other things and suppressing the vulgar parts.
