The occurrence of white color crimes and the inability of the society to protect itself from their adverse effects have led to the government coming up with laws to protect the society and deal with perpetrators of these crimes. Various law enforcement agencies have been given the mandate to investigate and act accordingly upon identifying these crimes. In some instances, the available laws have been effective in controlling white color crimes while there are cases where the available laws have not been adequate enough to deal with crime perpetrators. This paper is aimed at looking at the effectiveness of legal guardianship provided on savings and loan violation, the effectiveness of laws in the case of the Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion as well as whether more criminal laws would have helped in preventing security violation and compliance. For the government to identify and prosecute white color crimes conducted in savings and loans in the banking industry, it calls for the government to conduct a thorough investigation. In most cases, people who have committed the crime may not be identified. There are other cases where people may commit the crime unconsciously and end up suffering the consequences. In addressing these problems, the legal advice offered can prove to be adequate in ensuring that such crimes are never committed. Deciding to dispose of assets from those institutions identified to have embezzled money would not prove effective in eliminating these crimes. This is the reason why the act needs to be reconsidered and Berne’s actions are taken in the future. Disposing of these assets through the public market would give an opportun
Looking for The Tell-Tale Heart psychological analysis? This term paper focuses on the themes, symbolism, and point of view in the short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It also reviews the mental disorder that the narrator suffers from. Introduction The Tell-Tale Heart is one of the most famous works by Edgar Poe. The outstanding character in the tale, who is also the narrator, attracts a lot of attention from the readers. The character reveals much about human nature and other self qualities that people tend to overlook. Themes of death, egoism, and evil are found in most of Poe’s works. The same case applies to The Tell-Tale Heart as evidenced by the analysis in this paper. The analysis focuses on the main character and narrator of The Tell-Tale Heart. The analysis is conducted from a psychological approach. There are various forms of literary psychological criticism. In this paper, the author uses the Freudian psychological approach to analyse Poe’s work. The narrator forms the basis of the tale. All the themes in the story revolve around them. The literary critique explores the themes of death, ego, and evil as reflected in Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart . The themes of ego and evil are featured prominently in this critical review. The two contribute immensely to the narrator’s actions. The literary criticism of the tale seeks to answer the question of human ego-evil relationship and associated psychological justifications. Freud’s psychological approach serves in analysing the narrator’s actions towards the old man. The Tell-Tale Heart Summary Edgar Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart tale adopts the first person perspective. The main character also assumes the role of the narrator. He begins the story by arguing that they are sane and not mad as people are saying. The narrator says, “True!- nervous -very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses- not destroyed -not dulled them” (Poe par. 1). However, Poe does not tell the reader whether the narrator is a male or a female. The usage of the connotation ‘He’ does not describe definite gender of the narrator, but just as an assumption. The narrator admits that they are sick. However, they insist that the disease has sharpened their senses. The disease has not made them mad. In a bid to prove their sanity to the audience, the narrator embarks on the story. The events told in the story take place in a house where the narrator lives with an old man as a companion. The narrator claims that they loved the old companion very much. As such, they
Leonardo da Vinci’s painting “The Last Supper”, portrays Jesus having dinner with his disciples. Da Vinci has so beautifully displayed even the minutest of details. Be it the way the disciples or Jesus is sitting, talking and even pointing to something or someone has been exotically put onto the canvass. The light, though dim; defines each character properly and is dark where required. The background is shown lighter than the front picture. When looking at the picture, the variation of colors is such that one can easily identify the background. The colors used are all simple and not so bright that they hide the true emotions and expressions of the characters. The spacing is precisely done. Da Vinci has given the painting a real look of a dinner room as it is in reality. “The Last Supper” is undoubtedly an impeccable piece of art. Titian’s “Assumption”, on the other hand, uses more light effects, a shade darker. The choice of colors is just superb. The detailing has been done with utmost care. The line and space have been justifiably used. The different shade of colors filled into the flowers, is just striking. The complete painting is a dream realized. The best part of Titian’s ‘Assumption’ is the light effect. A single color blue has given the painting the effect of a real one. Different shades of blue have been used. Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” uses darker shades of blue and a lot of black. The city view has been painted beautifully. The painting depicts the view outside his sanitarium room window at night, although it was painted from memory during the day. The painter had had memories of the day when he painted the painting at night. The line and space has also been done full justice to. The horizon is painted on almost the correct position. The city view is painted very well.Priority has been given to the start studded sky also showing the moon inscribed in the sun. The ambiguity of the painting is very amusing. This proves that Van Gogh had had memories from the day and had painted at night. Jasper John’s “Numbe
Introduction Technology has become a critical component in the present world due to its extensive application in different fields of human operation (Cleaver, 2014). Whereas technology has been applied vastly, the education sector has been influenced greatly (Higgins, Xiao & Katsipataki, 2012). Importantly, online education and computer-based learning have taken a critical position in the sector. As such, it is evident that education stakeholders, including teachers, students, and policymakers, must consider technology-based education (Marinkovic, 2011). The important concern relates to the effectiveness of technology-based education when it comes to imparting skills. Also, the ability of teachers to adopt the new method of teaching is of great concern due to the adoption of technological change. Indeed, the current teaching staffs are not effectively equipped with technological efficiency. As such, the ability to adopt technology and applying it in education is questionable. Also, the ease of students using technology is education evokes critical interest too. This is based on the fact that the application of technology in education might not receive great enthusiasm as opposed to general technological communication (Muirhead, 2000). Lastly, the environment created by technological education must be interrogated deeply to understand its benefits in the education system. Problem Statement The introduction of technology in the education sector has led to a critical development in the education sector. However, some important issues have not been addressed satisfactorily. One of those issues relates to the embracement of technology by the teaching staff. In most cases, the current teachers and lecturers are either of average or old age. As such, these ages are not as conversant with technology as the young generations. This implies that teachers and lecturers have deficient skills when it comes to the use of technology. In addition to the deficiency of skills, the staffs have a low willingness to adopt the technology due to conservatism. Conservatism mentality makes the staff stick to the traditional methods of teaching (Ray & Coulter, 2010). As such, the question of whether the staffs are capable and willing to adopt technology becomes of critical importance. Also, even if the upcoming staffs are not above the average age of technology, the ease of using traditional methods still evokes similar concerns. For example, lecturers find it effective to distribute handouts through the class monitor rather than send emails without the guarantee of delivery. The second point of concern is the degree to which the students, although young when it comes to age, are prepared to use
Scientific research is a field of study that relies on the integrity of all those involved. As scientific experiments are conducted with other studies in mind, any one mistake or cover-up in an experiment report can lead to disastrous results. Therefore, it is extremely important for scientists to use proper methods of collecting and evaluating data. They must also write down all pertinent information to the study so that it can be closely examined for biased or flawed methods. If a scientist uses a flawed method of data-collection or data-analysis, his entire study could be skewed. If a scientist were to do a study on whether dogs had preferences between different kinds of foods, he would have to make sure that the foods were equidistant from the dog. If he did not, he would have a flawed method of data-collection. If he published a study as proof dogs liked one food better than another without recognizing that the dogs had simply picked the food closest to them, he would have failed at proper data-analysis. Incorrect analysis is very harmful because it can mislead readers and provide distorted views of a conclusion’s scientific merit (“ Data analysis .”) The paper by Morselli and Passini takes into account the autobiographies of three peaceful political activists: Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mohandas Gandi. The scientists noted that many autobiographies showed signs of bias; the authors picked events that correlated with their current ideals. They claimed that “narrators not only narrate, but also justify themselves” (Morselli & Passini, 2010). They wondered if this key phenomenon would show up in the autobiographies of Mandela, King Jr., and Gandi, so they decided to do a study at micro-level. This meant that their research population was “ a small group of individuals in a particular social context” (Schaffer). To collect precise data on the autobiographies, Morselli and Passini used an intricate procedure that they adapted from methodology used by K. Keniston. They created different categories of key factors in life (e.g., family, childhood, and adolescence) and used cross-sectional comparison (Morselli & Passini, 2010). QSR-N5 software was used to select relevant passages from the text. Then, two independent coders performed the analysis; they came together to compare results only after both had finished. Morselli and Passini took all the right steps to make sure the collection method was appropriate. Analysis of text can be subjective, so it can be hard to put into concrete results. Morselli and Passini smartly combated this obstacle by having two different coders work independe
Throughout the course of recent decades, the rise of a global popular culture and the manner in which it is being reflected by movies have been discussed from a variety of different sociological perspectives. As a rule, the individuals that discuss this particular socio-cultural phenomenon do agree that the emergence of such a culture has been dialectically predetermined – that is, the very of laws of history created objective preconditions for people to grow increasingly cosmopolitical, which in turn causes them to relate to the global culture’s presumed values emotionally. At the same time, however, there is a specific rationale in believing that the very process of a perceptual cosmopolitization inevitably results in them becoming ever more intellectually marginalized and consequently, in growing dispossessed of certain psychological qualities, which allowed their ancestors to ‘fuel’ the ongoing socio-technological progress (Elhefnawy 2007). Therefore, it can be well suggested that many of the contemporary Hollywood (British) films do in fact contain some themes and motifs, which suggest that, as of today, the Western civilization is being rapidly deprived of its former vitality, in the figurative sense of this word. The reason for this is simple – as it is being subtly implied in many of these films, once people are being allowed to prioritize addressing their individualistic anxieties, it becomes only the matter of time, before they transform into essentially social parasites, incapable of acting as the society’s productive members. In this paper, I will explore the validity of the above statement, in regards to what can be considered the discursive significance of the films ‘The Player’ and ‘Gosford Park’ by Robert Altman (director). Probably the most memorable aspect of the film ‘The Player’ is that fact that, while working as a studio executive, in charge of selecting the best screenplays to be put into production, the film’s main character Griffin Mill is represented as an individual with utterly tight daily schedules. Thus, Mill’s ability to lead a luxurious lifestyle appears to be warranted to an extent. After all, it is namely the main character’s harworkingness, which formally explains his high social status. Nevertheless, as the film’s plot unravels, it becomes increasingly clear to the audience members that, even though Mill is indeed a rather busy person, his ‘busyness’ appears to have very little to do with the character’s presumed ability to contribute to the society’s well-being, which would have justified his riches. The rationale behind this suggestion is quite apparent – it is Mill’s talent in selecting individually those screenplays t
Introduction: Building a Leader from Scratch Although a range of studies point to the fact that leadership skills are not intrinsic and, therefore, can be fostered in literally anyone (Lussier and Achua 9), the acquisition of the corresponding competencies and the search for the unique approach that will help create a team and lead it to success is admittedly complicated. Nevertheless, I believe that, by focusing on the concept of lifelong learning as the basis for developing my leadership competencies, I will be able to become an efficient leader. Viewing experience as an essential part of becoming a good leader and understanding the importance of a proper communication approach, including the negotiation and problem-solving techniques, I will be capable of managing a team and promoting the personal and professional development of every participant, thus, creating premises for successful completion of any project. Leadership Framework: Transforming People’s Minds The transformational leadership style seems to be the most reasonable choice to make when it comes to defining the proper framework to work with. Seeing that the identified strategy helps build a unique philosophy that will, later on, challenge the participants’ concept of workplace responsibilities and promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and initiative among them, it will be sensible to focus on the transformative leadership style framework. Strategic Challenges: Building a Vision and an Approach A good leader must focus on the needs of the people working under their guidance (Kurucz, Wheeler, and Colbert 86). Thus, it will be necessary to create a vision that will encompass the needs of all stakeholders involved, employees and customers being the focus. For these purposes, the Six Sigma framework as the tool that will help increase customer satisfaction rates and enhance the professional growth of the staff should be viewed as crucial (Pyzdek and Keller 18). Particularly, every project will be handled with the help of the DMAIC tool, with the addition of the Total Quality Management (TQM) approach and the Just-in-Time concept (JIT) to enhance productivity and reduce waste and promote sustainability (Longoni 29). Personal and Organizational Charters: Ethics and Decision-Making There is no need t
Introduction Human health is one of the core elements or pillars of human growth and development. Despite the crucial and inevitable need for good health, human beings among other living creatures are affected by various diseases which jeopardize their wellbeing. One of the most devastating disease affecting human beings is congestive heart failure (CHF). This disease has been overwhelmingly rampant in recent days following the changing lifestyles. CHF in this case refers to a condition of the heart being unable to supply sufficient blood flow. Different nursing studies have shown that CHF is a disabling and costly disease. Both developed and developing nations have fallen victims of this disease, whereby developed nations have recorded over 2% of adults suffering from the disease. Based on these insights, it is evident that the disease is a serious calamity to the human society thus calling for efficient management strategies. This research study will explore the management strategies for congestive heart failure. By undertaking the research study, valuable insights will be established which will be of help to the nursing fraternity in offering effective solutions and management of CHF. The study will be based on a nursing guideline established by The National Collaborating Centre for Acute and Chronic Conditions. The guideline offers an elaborate structure on the management of chronic heart failure in adults in secondary and primary care. The guideline is published in UK by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in Aug 2010 in page 45. The relevance and effectiveness of the guideline is beyond doubt since it is very explicit and simple to follow in management of CHF in all phases from primary to palliative care. Based on the guideline, the study will be focused on all aspects in the management of CHF. The study will incorporate diverse insights from different nursing researches to support the ideas in the guideline. Theoretical foundation for the topic In executin
Introduction The question of creation of and universe has puzzled humankind for centuries. Various philosophers, rationalists and people from the scientific field have thought over this problem throughout their life and some have come up with their own explanations. However, the subject is still very controversial and an active topic of research. However, there is a recent debate that “ The movement called Creation Science claims that the biblical account of creation in Genesis should be taught as science in public schools ”. (Alibris, 1) However, it should not be treated as science on logical grounds. Argument The theory of Creation Science is an argument that is directed towards the establishment of the idea that there is existence of God, and God is the creator of the universe in accordance to creation myth stated in Genesis. It states that Darwinian Natural Selection is incorrect because there is a divine force that is responsible for the creation and sustainability of the universe as the universe is so intricately designed that it would be impossible to create it without a creator. Thus, the theory of biblical creation can well be enumerated as a part of religion, or even theology, but it can never be conceived as a science and thus there should be no argument on the topic that it should be included in school as a science subject. Furthermore, there are several versions of creation and origin myths and they certainly cannot agree on a certain process of creation. Livingston indicates this point in a precise manner, he states “ later Priestly and earlier J and E writers are markedly are different, and this is reflected in the central focus and other order of their respective Creation narratives. These differences can be seen most easily by setting them out in parallel columns “. (Livingston, 239) Thus, it is certain that there is not even a complete benchmark of the Creation Science as an argument. The believers of Creation science try to strengthen the argument by contending that the purposive ness and seamless adaptation of the performance of natural objects with that of the universe was in the domain of ‘form’ only and not with regard to ‘substance’. They argued that a proof the latter, would have necessitated a clear and irrefutable evidence of the premise that the natural things in the world are also, in their ultimate material substance, products of the same supreme wisdom, to make them agreeable of being regulated by the universal laws. In absence of such a proof, the logic of automatic equivalence between the governing laws of natural things and that of the absolute necessity, viz., God, breaks down irreversibly. The concept of the biblical creation as the repository of perfection being described by such superlative epithets as “very great”, “amazing” etc also suffers from indeterminacy. Since the magnitude of such perfection could not be widely dete
This paper will show that Microsoft Corporation breached the terms of ethical business practice. It did this through unfair and brutal competitive practices that forced its competition to be unfairly beaten. By using the monopoly power it yielded, the company exploited its position and used this advantage illegally. The paper will show you how this happened and discuss why the practices shown are unethical. Additionally, it will show the effects of the unethical practices on the general economy. Microsoft is undoubtedly the world’s biggest software company. Its size makes it a formidable force for any competitor who dares venture into its business territory. A firm of such status, and any other firm for that matter, would strive to keep this dominance in place. However, the nature of its industry requires it to constantly innovate and invest in new products and technologies (Purkayastha, 1999, 946). The company’s financial strength allows it to put a lot in innovation and research in order to stay ahead of the competition. However, its true power lay not in its finances, but its platform monopoly (Spinello, 2005, 343). The platform here would refer to its operating system. Since it has a monopoly in controlling the system, it can lock out competition by manipulating this unique advantage. This is where antitrust law steps in. Antitrust laws are laws that are aimed at keeping the markets competitive and not dominated by monopolistic forces (Allbusiness.com, 1999). They are not meant to destroy competition, but keep competition alive by making sure that forces that would destroy it are controlled (Gillmor, 2002, 58). According to Hemphill (2004), this allows the economy to have sustainable and desirable activities (p. 128). So how did Microsoft breach ethics? The first accusation leveled is that Microsoft instituted a barrier to entry, especially about the browser market (Spinello, 2005, 347). This is because the company refused to divulge its source code. This ensured that software companies that offered software products that would run on the Windows platform would be unsure of its compatibility and quality. Netscape’s Navigator was a casualty of this tactic. They were unable to ensure that the product run seamlessly with Windows while Microsoft optimized Internet Explorer (IE), its own web browser, for Windows (George, 2003, 183). Additionally, Microsoft turned into a bully, using its size to force computer manufacturers into exclusionary deals (Purkayastha, 199, 946). The manufacturers were forced to license a copy of Windows with every computer they produced, but the IE ic
