Problem Statement Since the very beginning, religion has always had a strong effect on the voting behavior of human beings. It very firmly indicates a person’s voting technique and choices. It creates a very strong impact on how the person, that is the voter, views certain specific issues, like homosexuality, abortion, economics of the state or country and also the person’s immediate environment. Every individual voter then applies their own understanding of these delicate issues as their guidelines and then decides which candidate is suitable to actually obtain their vote. Thus, it is rational to accept that religion and its various forms plays a significant impact and also influences a person’s voting techniques when elections take place. (Shepherd, 2004) It is to be determined whether the amount actually instruments the results in an overall election scenario. Sub Problem statement A number of studies have been made to determine the factors, which influence a person’s voting preference. Some people say that things like class, gender and race are an important factor influencing voting. Studies have also shown that religion and even lack of it is among the most essential factors determining a persons voting behavior. The various religious sects have varying opinions regarding our social and economic issues. They have drawn their own conclusions based on their influences. We also have to consider the opinions of the different secular groups, which add more confusion to the behavioral studies, making it more difficult to determine what causes an individual to take the decision one makes. (Shepherd, 2004) Thus, it is essential to analyze and establish the determining factor and address the fundamental variable. Hypothesis statement The basic hypothesis states that the influence of religion affects the outcome of a voting system and the fundamental variable in this case is religion more than any other factor. Demarcation of the terrain of study The best statistical method would be to interview long well formulated day-to-day working procedure at a specific and well-selected location. Throughout the procedure, it should be noticed whether there are specific variables within the testable population or not. These variables would be extremely important while evaluating the basic data in the final stages where the adjustments would be made to the formulated data in accordance to the observations. However, it is important to take into account the aspects of fundamental variables of an individual such as ethnicity, religious belief or positive support from the social background. Assumptions It is assumed that the basic hypothesis and the subsidiary hypothesis would be proven to be flawless and the study would confirm the hypothesis. Limitations Limitations to the research would in fact include many different considerations. Those considerations are inclusive of the number of respondents along with the number of churches and other places of worship in the general vicinity. Other things that limit this research would in fact be the concerns of other levels of
One of the central ideas revealed in the poem “Famous” by Naomi Shihab Nye is our modern-day culture that is obsessed with the things and objects believed to be prominent and renowned. The concept, that everything is valued from the point of view of its being famous or not, is the central concept Shihab Nye utilized in this poem. On the basis of this concept, she evaluates the objects that are common in our daily life. A remarkable feature of the poem is the concept of fame by Shihab Nye which is in the fact that even ordinary objects are famous to those who come across them on a regular basis. Stating that even ordinary objects are famous, the poet tries to object to the cynical notions of modern culture. Overall, modern-day culture is not shown as something positive by Shihab Nye; on the contrary, every line of the poem “Famous” is the protest against hard-boiled values and beliefs common among people. In the first lines of her poem, Shihab Nye speaks about eternal things such as the water in the river that is well-known to those who swim in it and the loud voice that is well known to silence (Shihab Nye 121). Then, she continues enumerating such simple and common objects, things, and living beings as the fence, the cat, the birds, and the birdhouse. Addressing such objects, things and living beings, the author shows that the surrounding world of nature always stays the same. In these initial lines, the author creates a peaceful atmosphere that is known to people worldwide for centuries. The only point here makes the audience’s minds concentrate. That is the ‘loud voice’ that is famous for silence. The word ‘loud’ does not add to the peaceful atmosphere in the first lines; on the contrary it introduces the other ideas that Shihab Nye addresses next. After a few lines with the mood of peace and calm, suddenly Shihab Nye makes an abrupt shift to the other phenomena of the surrounding world. The author says: “The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek” (Shihab Nye 121). In these words, she discusses the things that are common in today’s world. It is true that modern culture and the modern world are full of cruelty and pain that make people have many tears on their cheeks. The author herself is not an exception as she had to go through the tears of war. So, it is understandable why she makes such an emphasis on the phenomenon of grief that is so common in today’s culture. Next, we read: “The idea you carry close to your bosom is famous to your bosom” (Shihab Nye 121). Here, the author makes stresses egoism and indifference that are so spread in the world today. Shihab Nye gets to the point with this statement as today people only care about their own concerns. Then she mentions ‘the boot’ that is famous to the earth and ‘the dress shoe’ that is famous to floors. Thus, she emphasize
Modern business is run in the period of change and innovations. Each day new decisions are created and new methods are applied into life. There are several aspects according to which business should be run. The choice of the method and the principles of running business is the first step on the way to success. It is crucial to choose correct methods and principles according to which a company is going to operate. These principles determine the way of bringing the highest income to the company. Revenue is the primary purpose of each business. Tropical Spring Water is the company which has decided to experiment with the number of the decisions, such as sales force recruitment. The strategy chosen by the company under consideration is the tries and errors approach which is justified in this case. The company has a limited capital, therefore, the conduction of the research with the purpose to identify the most appropriate method of running business is impossible. Considering the tries and error approach as the main means for running business, the company should pay attention to the following aspects of this technique. One of the main priorities of the tries and error decision making is that a manager is able to see the mistakes of the previously applied method and to use this information in applying to another approach. The model is considered in detail and the manager is able to see all the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen method (Matsatsinīs & Siskos 2003). The decision making based on the tries and errors method gives a manager of the company a great experience which will be useful in the future if to refer to it correctly. One more advantage of the tries and errors management method is that the work has already been started and if something goes wrong, it is possible to correct some procedures, to change the direction and to refer to other specific measures which are impossible while conducting a theoretical research (Sharma 2009). The theoretical research is just able to show whether the approach is effective for this specific type of business or not. Therefore, the choice of the tries and error decision making is a winning strategy for Tropical Spring Water in the situation is has appeared into. The company has also referred to the sales force recruitment which is a winning strategy for it. Being a hierarchically based method of running business, this method is useful in monitoring the work of each department. Moreover, this technique is appropriate for the niche chosen by the company managers (Longino 2009). The automation of the sale
Introduction Nowadays, ecological issues are becoming more and more significant. Human activities, as well as rapid technological development, lead to drastic changes in the environment all over the world, and the United States of America is not an exception. The country has to deal with deforestation, air pollution, loss of biodiversity, and more. All of these processes have a huge impact on local flora and fauna. Specifically, California faces such ecological issues as water shortage and drought, which dramatically affect local biodiversity. Main body To begin with, there is a variety of reasons for this threat. First, according to the website Climate Signals beta, climate change and, particularly, long-lasting high temperatures, as well as rare precipitations reduced the amount of groundwater (Nexus). The soil was not watered enough, and it caused dehydration for the plants. Also, David Colgan claims that the other reason for the water shortage is the increasing population (Colgan). The more people live in the State, the more natural resources they need. Without any doubt, lack of water influences regional ecosystems. For example, as Frederic Beaudry states when the territory faces this issue, it leads to lethal results for invasive inhabitants, especially for those already endangered (Beaudry). Therefore, settled animals have to move, and it might be difficult for them to find another place to live so it can cause their eventual extinction. Mainly, it refers to fish and some types of plants. Besides, it is necessary to mention that extreme scarcity in aqua supplies might enhance fires, and, therefore, ground and crops damages. Deforestation affects flora and fauna in those areas, and the consequence of that might be a ruined ecosystem. However, the US government is putting a tremendous amount of effort to protect wildlife. It provides substantial funding, creates special programs that regulate the use of water, and it also protects endangered species that reside in wetlands. Last but not least, State administrative officials tend to achieve excellent results in preparation for future droughts. Conclusion To conclude, the huge problem with water shortages in California cannot be overrated. The results of the issue might often be dangerous and irreversible. However, even though the outcomes are serious, there are a lot of ways to change the situation. That would require both increases of awareness among citizens as well as huge support from the government. Only the combination of these two factors will let citizens end up with sustainable development and planet conservation. Works Cited  1.

Introduction In order to investigate the culture of other people and their cultural practices, I visited the Japanese region in my town. A friend of mine lives in this region, so I can communicate and make friends with some of its people. I can say that Japanese culture represents a unique combination of historical, political, religious, and social forces which influence society and its values. Every culture has its own unique qualities not found in other cultures. Japan is no exception. It is culture is centered on core values and traditions. They lead Japanese people to have different ways of looking at the world largely from differences in language and religion. Japanese culture determines the specific way of living and social relations, cultural and religious views. Experience of the “Self” From my tour, I can say that Japanese culture is based on unique traditions and values influenced by religion and lifestyle. The Japanese learned to view the world from the perspective of traditional versus modern values after the Meiji Restoration in 1868 following the opening of Japan’s doors to the world. This attitudinal structure started to fall apart in 1978, and its disintegration became definite by 1988. For example, the “conquering” nature was an important value during the era of Japan’s modernization process, but it has since been replaced by the “following” nature. In the middle of the XX century, the traditional perspective of catching up with the West and categorizing what is Western and Japanese has become meaningless (Oxtoby 2001). While the industrialization process produced divergent values for Japan and the West, it also is responsible for the development of some homogeneous cultural values. Researchers found three levels of similarities: (1) frequency distribution of single variables, (2) similar impacts of age and gender on attitudes, and (3) similar structures in the way people categorize their experience (Oxtoby 2001). The neighborhood tour shows that the modern Japanese lifestyle is influenced by industrialization and innovations coming from other countries. Thus, the Japanese value their old traditions and rituals adapting them to the new social environment. For instance, Japanese take off shoes ins
Government intervention on the economic outcome In my opinion, government interventions have an overall positive effect. First, it allows for redistribution of wealth, leading to greater equality. The free market systems are inherently unequal in terms of income and opportunity since privilege largely determines the possibility of creating value. While such redistribution may seem unfair, the law of diminishing returns states that a negligible decrease in wealth of the high-income segment can result in a significant improvement of the low-income population. Besides, in the free market public goods will likely be underproduced. For instance, despite its obvious importance for the public good, maintaining law and order is an extremely unprofitable endeavor and is unlikely to be provided unless enforced by the government. What are the best ways of reducing budget deficits? Probably the best way of reducing budget deficits is economic growth. An enhanced economic development leads to an increase in the GDP percentage, which provides the government with an opportunity to increase tax revenues without the necessity to raise taxes. The downside of such an approach is the limited capacity for growth, which is especially apparent in developing countries, where it is constrained by the restrictive monetary policies and recession. Another good option is to seek ways of reducing government spending. This is usually achieved through a review of the activities of existing departments. It should be noted, however, that the success of such a strategy depends on the state of the economy and thus is not always an option. Using supply-demand analysis, briefly discuss the future of the real estate market in Los Angeles The observed steady increase in the price of real estate in Los Angeles can be attributed at least in part to the growing gap between supply and demand. Specifically, the construction projects in the area were unsuccessful in providing housing at a rate that would satisfy the demand of the buyers. The main reason for that is the scarcity of land for building. While it is possible to address this limitation by capitalizing on high-density projects, such an approach is time-consuming due to political and regulatory constraints. Since such a setup inevitably affects disposable income, it is reasonable to consider the possibility of a bubble, which is going to burst once a sufficient number of people is unable to afford housing at current prices. Why is unemployment so high in Europe? The uneven economic, political, and social landscape of Europe creates several challenges for the job market. For instance, in comparison with the U.S., the European business environment is more risk-averse. Simply put, young indivi
Introduction Electrolysis refers to decomposition of a molten substance or material by passing an electric current at a certain voltage through it (Ebbing and Gammon 33). It is a processes used to refine metals such as copper, tin, and gold. In addition, it obtains metals such as aluminum and sodium form their natural ores. Examples of important processes in electrolysis include electroplating and anodizing. Electroplating is an important process used in electrolysis. It refers to coating of metals with thin layers of other metals of different chemical properties (Ebbing and Gammon 33). On the other hand, anodizing refers to a process of coating metals with chemical layers to avoid corrosion. In the manufacturing industry, electrolysis uses direct current to initiate non-spontaneous reactions (Fontaine 27). It is an effective extraction process that is widely used to obtain metals and other chemical elements from their natural sources. Electrolysis is used industrially in both large scale and small scale. Electrolysis An electrolytic cell comprises two electrodes of different polarities, an electrolyte, and a source of current (Fontaine 27). The two electrodes are of different polarities in order to attract differently charged ions. Anode is the positive electrode while cathode is the negative electrode. Electrolysis involves either electrolyte solutions or molten electrolytes. Molten electrolytes separate into ions that result from either gain or loss of electrons (Fontaine 28). A direct current provides power needed to initiate release of ions in the electrolyte. Current is transferred between electrodes by electrons that are negatively charged. On the other hand, an electrolyte includes a substance that dissociates to release ions, which facilitate movement of current between electrodes. Ions only carry current if the electrolyte is a solution. Electrolysis takes place in an electrolytic cell that contains two metal electrodes, which are in contact with a molten electrolyte (Ebbing and Gammon 33). Electrolysis of the solution yields chlorine and hydrogen gases in varying amounts. In case the product of decomposition is a metal, there are two possible outcomes. The metal is either precipitated as sludge or deposited on either of the electrode as a metal coating (Gore 64). The sludge is then recovered from the electrolyte and further purified to obtain a pure form of the metal. Electrolysis involves attraction of ions by electrodes and consequent decomposition. The product of electrolysis is obtained in a different physical state than that of the electrolyte used in the electrolytic cell. During electrolysis, the cathode attracts ions with a positive charge while the anode attrac
Asperger syndrome, the universe and everything is a very insightful book that relates and resonates well with our current educational environment. The book, written by Kenneth Hall is very essential for young people who are living with Asperger’s Syndrome. In fact, the writer has written the book with a lot of sincerity and innocence that could only be possible from a child’s point of view (Hall 19). This implies that it has been written from an insight that can entirely be understood by children. All in all, this book is very essential for young people who have been affected and others who live with them. In a broad perspective, there are others who work with people who have Asperger’s Syndrome which therefore requires a better understanding. The education sector is faced with a lot of challenges every now and then as a result of different changes. In this case, people have different needs as far as education is concerned which presents diverse and numerous challenges. Kenneth offers a good insight because he has been through the same experience that young people with Asperger’s Syndrome have to cope with. As a matter of fact, he describes all these aspects with honesty by giving us a better overview of the difficulties that people go through including school going children. Despite all this difficulties, the writer is very positive about his condition and future where he regards Asperger’s Syndrome as a gift (Hall 25). This can be explained effectively by looking at education today. It should be understood that there has been a growing need for special education because people and individuals with special needs have increased as time goes by. As far as the education industry is concerned, special education has been gaining prominence recently to take care of different and diverse needs. Children with special needs require education just like normal kids which explains why the book relates well with the history of special education. In fact, it relates well with education because it tries to explain what teachers go through while dealing with children who have special needs. Summary As far as this book is concerned, readers get their own understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome from what the writer is able to explain. Because he had difficulties as a result of Asperger’s Syndrome he explains and elaborates the emotions, frustrations and joy that he experienced. In a school setting, we should be able to understand different people because of diversity (Bowe 37). This book is a must read for all stakeholders in the education sector based on what it offers. Parents and family members of children with Asperger’s Syndrome should support them wholeheartedly for long term sustainability. Although it might be challenging, there should be concreted efforts to assist children with disabilities. Kenneth’s story offers a good insight into the life of people who are living with Asperger’s Syndrome. This is based on the history of special education because it has taken time to be factored
