Abstract

While power is a secular affair these days, ethics and moral with their connection to religion seem related to what refers to activities associated with the governance of people and territories. Of course, neither of the two provides a comprehensive view of the complex notion of politics, yet both complement the concept with precious meaning. Thus, moral adds an important dimension revealing domestic politics as a set of activities prioritizing social welfare. Furthermore, the perception of governance through the prism of virtuous leaders, as done by ethics scholars, such as al-Farabi, allows people to perceive politics as a unique ...

In this paper, Anderson endeavours to oppose the proponents of Luck egalitarianism. Egalitarians believe that the fate of an individual is dependent on the choices that they make. They believe that everybody has got equal chances to be as great as any other person. What makes one becomes a servant and the other a lord is the choice they made at one point of their life (Anderson, 2007). Egalitarians believe that people make some conscious choices that define what they become in future. Those who make good choices end up being successful than the others who made wrong conscious ...

When an individual is task to observe an organization, the first thing they notice would be the demographic profile of the people working within the organization. Usually, employees are profiled according to race, gender and culture. Nevertheless, mostly overlooked is how organizations are also diversified according to age.

In Knockout, Suzanne Somers interviews a number of doctors who have very specific ideas on cancer treatment and prevention – namely, that radiation, chemotherapy, and mammography do not work, and can actually cause more harm than good. They then proceed to offer their own alternatives, usually from their own field of medicine, which they claim are much better solutions for preventing and treating cancer. Somers then goes on to detail her own experiences working with doctors in the face of a misdiagnosis of cancer, and how that led her to seek alternative treatments and preventative measures. Upon reading this book, I ...

Abstract

Reality is a powerful source of inspiration for writers in the 20th century. For Raymond Carver the American reality of the working class served as the main source of inspiration for his short stories that fall into the dirty – realism literary style. A technique that is representative for this current and that Carver subtly masters in his short stories is the insertion of objects into the narration, attributing them the value of reflecting the reality through familiar descriptions of the working class American society’s lifestyle. In Carver’s narration the objects tell stories, unite people in the same universe ...

Why the Funding of the Children’s Summer Expense Project was Overlooked

Fund management is critical especially for non-profit or charity organizations with limited resources, and dependent on private or public donations. Competing priorities could lead to misallocation of funds. In the case of Children’s Summer Expense Project, its omission in the Foundation’s list of priorities could be one of the reasons why funding was insufficient. In many cases, programs to be funded are based on how strong their proponents are in advocating for their cause(s). If a program has no assigned proponent to lobby for its full financial support, it will be disregarded in ...

The proponent of the writing seeks to prove its contents and that the writing is closely related to a material issue. In order to comply with the best evidence rule, the proponent of the evidence should produce the original document. If the producing the original is not possible, it ...

Worker Alienation in a Modern Economy

The term “worker alienation” was coined by Karl Marx decades ago. Built on the principles of capitalism and socialism, it addresses the concept that workers feel apart from the products of their labor. The result is a loss of his sense of humanity. In a capitalist society, exploitation of the worker exists through selling his labor and not the product of his labor. His labor is sold as through it were an intangible product. The product is sold and the profit goes to the capitalist. The proletariat now owns neither his labor nor the product it produced; however, he has received ...

Indian Boarding Schools

After the effective defeat of the Indians and their subjugation in the name of manifest destiny, American reformers (including The Friends of the Indian) sought to “Americanize” Native Americans by refocusing land ownership through allotment of private property as opposed to attributing lands to tribes. Furthermore, boarding schools were created that would re-educate Native Americans in the ways of white, Christian, American life, leading them to abandon their traditional Indian identity in favor of becoming fully assimilated into the US citizenry. Despite these ostensibly good intentions, however, there were several critics of these boarding schools, who would argue ...

Since the end of the Cold War, the Korean Crisis between North Korea and South Korea remains as one of the world’s longest ongoing conflicts as the region remains in conflict despite the 70 year armistice between the two countries.

Several attempts have been done throughout this period to try to get the North to concede to a permanent peace in the Peninsula and the removal of its nuclear weaponry, but the North remained adamant on its position as a hostile country. ...

- Ricardo and Marx and Keynes embraced the finite nature of the capitalist system. Compare and contrast their technical and philosophical justification for this.

The word Globalization is frequently used whenever there is a discussion on development, trade and economy. Globalization is therefore understood as a process integrating the economies around the world so that they together constitute a global economy and is operated with the implementation of global policy making. This interlinking arises not only out of the movement of people, goods and capital but also due to the merger of many cultures across the economies. This paper evaluates the basic question of whether globalization brings equivalent benefits and opportunities to the developed and developing nations or it contributes to enlarging the gap between rich ...

The European Union in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

- Introduction and Research Question For decades, the Israelis and the Palestinians had remained at odds with one another because of the decades-old conflict on mutual recognition, territorial boundaries, and national identities that still remains unresolved despite various negotiations held for the resolution of the conflict. According to Tessler (1994), the conflict can be traced since the 19th century when the Zionists and the Arabs first came into contact and argued as to their right of access and claim to the religious sites such as Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Canaan. However, the arguments escalated as the Arabs and Palestinians ...

The civil rights movement provided a significant chapter to the history of democracy in the United States (US), in that it enabled the empowerment of African-Americans towards freedom from discrimination. While much activity related to the movement is attributable to the string of protests undergoing in the US between 1955 and 1968, it also influenced uprisings in the United Kingdom and South Africa. The prevalence of discrimination against African-Americans has prompted activists to fight for the eventual recognition of their entitlement to civil rights. Race is the primary focus of discrimination, with the ...

Controversy has always characterized the study of international relations, particularly in terms of politics. The complexity of such field has enabled the applicability of many theoretical models in studying politics in the international arena. There could be no “one-size-fits-all” approach, as there is an understanding that several theories have attempted to explain phenomena within international relations. Three theories – neorealism, neoliberalism and classical realism, stand out as among the most prominent ones applicable in studying international relations, with each tending to construct distinctive interpretations. This study seeks to establish that of the three aforementioned theories, classical realism stands out ...

With interest in the field of child development emerging in the early twentieth century, many theories have been formed in an effort to understand the physical, educational, social, emotional, and cognitive growth that children undergo from birth into early adulthood (Cherry, 2013). In particular, developmental theories are organized systems of “principles and explanations of certain aspects of child development” (Swim, 2008). In this regard, this paper discuses three of the major developmental theories, namely the behavioral theory, the cognitive theory, and the sociocultural theory.

Introduction

During the Cold War, the United States (US) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) both used soft power against one another in order to elicit domination across different states. Central to those soft power struggles is the emergence of new states out of their former colonial masters. Both powers sought to capture the support of the new states by influencing them their political systems and ideologies. In return, said bipolar setup enabled divisiveness in political thought across the world. Alignment towards either the Capitalist (US/Western) Bloc or the Soviet (USSR/Eastern) Bloc thus resulted from the divergence, ...

Little differences in initial conditions result to an extensively different outcomes for chaotic systems, depicting long-term forecast to be impossible. This occurs even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future performance is completely determined by their initial conditions, with no random factors involved ( ...
