We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

The legalization of medical marijuana will create a need for change, for example, new laws, policies, knowledge of medical and psychological effects, and education to help people understand the proper use of marijuana.

Description: The court case deals with a dispute over an easement given on a car park's property. At the time of the trial, the respondent had been attempting to limit the amount of time that the easement was allowed to be used while a tavern owner contended that the patrons of their business would be unable to take full advantage of the area during important hours. The limitation of five hours on the parking area’s use would profoundly limit the access that their customers have to parking. The rights of the easement as expressed by the grantee have ...

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

Persons with special needs are often overlooked in our society. For a long time this population was viewed negatively, often under the strict impression that they were incapable of contributing meaningfully to society. They were destined to be dependents of the state or forever inclined to charitable contribution. They were often segregated from society in institutions, incapable of ever learning how to function in the greater whole. One such area in which their neglect was especially great was in recreation. Often times play areas do not illicit feelings of joy among the special needs population because of their unadaptable ...

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 ...

Why the War for Independence was Justified Rebellion?

The American Revolution or the War for Independence was a justified rebellion because people should be allowed to freely make their own choices within the boundaries of any governmental institution. The British government at the time had according to Thomas Jefferson become destructive of one’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. How unfairly it was for Great Britain to impose a tax on the American colonies? There was also no representation in parliament. This was unfair to the colonists, and it needed to be abolished. The politics of taxing the colonists would only benefit the ...

I am presenting this reflective paper as a student who is aspiring to land a well-paying position as a fund manager. At the beginning of the course, I never thought that it had anything to do with fund management or anything in finance. After all, there were no financial models, capital markets, or even forex rates mentioned in the course material. However, as I progressively read the course materials, I find the course on diagnosis and management of human behavior in organizations as exceptionally useful and informative. It is particularly important to the understanding of the human aspects of ...

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 ...

1. Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Clearly identify the point in the reading when you realized that there were elements in the reading that surprised you. Not all of the surprises come at the end. The “surprise ending” of Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” became evident when the work made it apparent that the argument it was making was satire. This became obvious due to the increasingly radical views that were being proposed within the text. As the author continued to monetize and commoditize human life and began discussing trading ...

Theresa May might be the latest entrant in the pool of high-positioned women, but it does not subside the ongoing debate revolving women style of leadership and negotiation. The conflict management style of May might be the subject of discussion among management honchos in the future. Researchers proffer differing perceptions concerning this issue; while some accede that women have different negotiation styles than men, some authors counter this by saying that gender has a little role to play in conflict handling. Furthermore, savants are not unanimous on the efficacy of women's style of conflict management. This paper has referred ...

Leadership has numerous definitions and dimensions, but I largely view it as the ability of someone to influence other people to willfully and passionately to follow a certain course and achieve some specific objectives. There are several lessons in leadership that can influence me to become a better leader in my professional life. I learned that leaders are not born, but we do make them. To become a good leader, people need to improve themselves and become the best by increasing their ability to be the “best self” (George and Sims, 2010). In this regard, I looked at myself ...

Capitalism has come a long road before becoming the dominant social order on the planet. Adam Smith was one of the first economists to fully describe the benefits that free market capitalism can bring. Moreover, he was the first to systematically analyze the main economic categories such as wages, labor, profit, rent, population, demand, and supply. His work Wealth of Nations was groundbreaking, and he is considered one of the fathers of capitalism not without a reason. In this work, I will show that Adam Smith succeeds in his criticism of mercantilism and governmental market regulations and proves that ...

What is science exactly? The most generalized definition might be the pursuit of knowledge that can be studied, that can be tested through tangible experiments and then can be proven through repetition and presented in real world parameters.

Science, in all of its facets, has been and remains often controversial discipline, whether it is chemistry, robotics or genetics. The source of this consistent public criticisms and questioning of ...

The circumstances in which both documents were written were very similar and it is apparent that the American declaration of independence heavily influenced the French declaration of rights.

This is equivalent to the US’s entity of Congress as reflected in “ Representatives of the united States of America, ...

Leadership requires a lot of both innate and learned skills. An essential skill a leader is required to have is his ability to focus - on himself, on others and on his surroundings. He has to strike a balance between doing all of these simultaneously. Each mode of attention is interrelated in a sense that if you lose focus on yourself, you would not be able to focus on others leaving you ignorant and at a loss and most importantly, losing focus of one’s immediate surroundings will leave you unaware. Focusing on one’s self starts by giving ...

Britons’ decision to exit European Union is a reflection of their socio – cultural specificities and their expectations for an envisioned life in United Kingdom. When analyzing the Brexit decision, there should be considered the tight vote, as 52% of the voters opted for leaving EU, while 48% voted for remaining (Erlanger para 4). This score indicates that leaving EU was not a unanimous decision, but one that reflected the diverse interests and reasons of Britons. Connected with the liberal ideas coming out of enlightenment, this liberal exercise of reasoning echoes Kant’s urge to reason, breaking free from religious ...

Sadness is a construct, and as such cannot exist alone; without happiness there is no sadness and vice versa. They are the yin and yang that propels human beings through life, with happiness being the goal, and sadness being the benchmark by which human beings can assess the progress toward their goals. Ancient Philosopher, Aristotle, who studied under Plato, student of Socrates, touts “happiness” as our raison d’être. He is supported by philosophers who taught after he did, by the United States Declaration of Independence which purports the pursuit of Happiness, and by the fleeting American Dream, which ...

China and India’s Economy as a Neoclassical Growth Model.

It should be noted that the standard one-sector neoclassical growth model cannot be used to explain the macroeconomic variables of India and China. The model, however, provides the theoretical framework that aids in examining how the two economies’ digress from the standard model and in this way point out the market structure, organizations, and other variables that may have led to this digress (Huisken 239). An important variable that may help us understand this deviation and explain the differences in the growth of the two economies is the investment interest rates. India may have high level of investments but ...

The concept of “whiteness” is, of course, silly on its face. “Pinkness,” or perhaps, “very light tanness” would be more accurate. Nevertheless, the term is deeply embedded into cultural discourse. “White privilege” is the phrase of the day. “White Man’s Burden” was the public face of the reasoning for British imperialism. White men (no women need apply in those bygone days) not only “could” govern their poor, benighted “colored” brethren better than they could govern themselves, it was an affirmative duty to bring superior culture and civilization to the savages. In the history of the United States the ...

A key issue within photographic practice and culture is the establishment of perspective regarding the influence that the self and the underlying aesthetic preferences and expectations that are brought to the art.

The idea of the unawareness about the self-knowing as a common phenomenon in our society, ...

Many people all over the world today immigrate to America in search of the American dream which incorporates equality, freedom and the rare opportunity to attain their personal goals, which would otherwise not be possible to attain in their home country.

Central to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s writing of The Birthmark is the unexplained mark that was on “Georgiana’s left cheeka little [similar] to the human hand, though of the smallest pygmy size” (Hawthorne par.7). Initially, the mark had brought Georgiana much admiration with some lovers asserting that the impression on her face was subject to a “fairy” whose tiny hand had somehow landed on the woman’s cheek when she was young (par. 7). The problem is, Aylmer, who happens to the story’s protagonist and Georgiana’s husband, fails to see the appeal of such a mark on ...
