The search strategy, characterized as market segmentation, constituted identifying consumer demographics and buyer behavior as one of the key variables in influencing the purchasing of the product in the specific areas of concern in this case a relatively young market, Kenya. Consumer demographics were one of the key elements as it could help the researcher determine if there were potential users of the product in the new market. In addition to that, the use of the internet played a critical role, in the modern age of computing to access information and data about the Eric Hamilton founded Hamilton Health, Inc., (HHI) gym devices, similar devices in the market which could present competion, the pricing and distribution channels of the devices and the best approach to reaching the market and provide these devices at competitive prices (El-Kahal, 2006). Among the key drivers in the strategy was to determine if the Kenyan market was feasible in terms of return on investment, whether the people of the country are able to afford the exercise machines by evaluating the country’s economic conditions, determining the projected consumer’s lifestyle, project the possibility of achieving sales volumes that can sustain the company and generate sustainable profits and revenue, estimate sales forecasts that can generate desirable profits, and identify if other exercising brands exist in the market, and the competition likely to be faced by the new entrants (Kotabe & Helsen, 2008). The marketing research will be scientific as its target will be to provide reliable data that can enable decisions to be made before committing any funds into the project. One of the most reliable tools will be the internet (Milele fitness, n.d). Buying Behavior of the Exercising Product Findings from the search indicated that the market is relatively young and the buyer of the gym Eric Hamilton founded Hamilton Health, Inc., (HHI) could be strongly influenced by needs of the target market. Statistical findings strongly link the need for exercising with the lifestyle of a cross section of all demographic distributions of the relatively young market. In addition to that, findings indicate that gym devices are concentrated in urban areas of the country and the idea of exercising for personal health is fresh for many
Introduction Context relevance is one of the major findings of survey on public convictions about civil liberties and democracy. In spite of the significance of the awareness of the support for principles of democracy, the degree of support conferred on the democratic norms if they contradict other important principles is relatively more (Gibson, 1987; Davis & Silver, 2004 p. 1). Democracy commonly demands a grand exercise of moderation; however, when it comes to tolerating and enduring the consequences of democratic beliefs the intensity of their dedication to democratic standards may be best condone. On the other hand, regarding the common citizen, civil liberties matters are more probable to be absent from daily live experiences; however, in specific settings civil liberties matters have direct implications for citizens’ freedom and well-being relevance (Gibson, 1989; Davis & Silver, 2004). The September 11 th terrorist attack sparked a phenomenal amendment of the Americans dedication to democratic ethics. Also, personal and democratic liberty has been jeopardized by the attacks, since the federal government has been compelled to enforce certain policies which involve checking on their freedom. Such restrictions include increased surveillance on their documents and communication, increased searches on personal possessions, likely confinement regardless of “a writ of habeas corpus,” probable proceedings of military court devoid of the considerable protection of appropriate process afforded by the civil tribunals (Davis & Silver, 2004). Pursuit driving Alpert and colleagues (1996) argues that the civic and private reaction to pursuit driving was in its initial stages despite the increasing demands for evaluation and amendments, by clandestine citizens, media representatives, and civic agencies. Importantly, the government has had numerous investigations on the problems arising from pursuit driving. In addition, the United State Congress has conducted trials regarding pursuit driving and many local grand judges have evaluated issues arising from pursuit driving. This genre of inquiry has triggered policy reforms, instruction and regulation of pursuit driving. Gerald LaCrasse, a victim of pursuit, founded the first grass-root association called Desere with the objective of reforming pursuit driving. This association transformed the original management and guidance of numerous victims alongside their families. In addition, this organization concerns the education of law enforcement personnel and the civilians in regard to pursuit processes. 1990s saw the expansion of Desere to Stop the Tragedies of Police Pursuit [STOPP] an organization that has spearheaded the development and the management of amendment in pursuit driving. STOPP has developed a national system of victims including those who are demanding restructuring in pursuit driving. Noteworthy, the Pursuit Awareness Act of 1995 was introduced to Congress (Alpert et al. 1996, p. 5). Consequently, the adverse effects of pursuit driving have been condemned as pointless and dangerous by t
Human beings go through various stages of life; a person’s lifecycle involves five phases: infancy stage, childhood stage, youth stage, adulthood stage, and old age stage (Newman & Newman, 2017). In each stage of life, human beings interact with health experts differently. For example, patients between the ages of 20-60 years find it hard to interact with health care professionals because they feel hesitant to explain their issues adequately. These patients find it hard to explain their problems, especially when they are related to sexual changes. Therefore, stages of life affect the quality of interaction between the patients and health providers. Infancy is a crucial stage of life; at this stage, infants rely on others to meet their basic needs, including shelter and food. Infants are transformed to the childhood stage after showing signs of advanced abilities, including making decisions. During childhood, parents nurture their children to promote healthy levels of confidence that enable them to make the right decision. The youth and the adulthood stages are characterized by strength and proper decision-making (Connolly & Kotsopoulos, 2017). Human beings at these stages can make proper decisions regarding their health. The old-age stage is characterized by memory loss and poor physical strength; therefore, they depend on family members to care for them. In each stage of life, human beings show various characters both physically and emotionally. James, who was interviewed, is aged 72 and is suffering from prostate cancer. According to him, he had a good time
Introduction A police is a state officer mandated to ensure there is law and order in the community by making sure that everybody follows the laws of a country. A confession is a testimony that reveals information not previously known or which had not been exposed fully. Therefore, it may be a link to a criminal event, a contribution to a case or a proof that something happened or did not happen (Kassin, Drizin, Grisso, Gudjonsson, Leo and Redlich 2010). Induction means to do something to happen without the willingness of the other party. Therefore, police induced confession refers to information offered to the police by criminals, suspects or the public through tactics developed by investigators. False Confessions This is not a new aspect in legal and psychological fraternities since it has plagued these departments for many years. It refers to the process of offering false information regarding a crime, suspect or situation in an attempt to associate or disassociate an individual from the activity. There are several factors that make individuals to confess in legal or psychological situations. The most dominant reasons include the desire to be set free, show non participation and prove innocence before a court of law (Kassin et al. 2010). A confession is deemed false when it is later proved that nobody committed the alleged crime, the results from scientific tests reveal disparities in terms of blood or gene samples, arrest of a reliable suspect and when evidence shows that there was no connection between the confessor and purported crime. Suspect Characteristics These are characteristics that distinguish innocent civilians from those that may have participated in a crime. However, some of these characteristics may not apply in some situations since criminal evidence mutates according to the context and persons involved (Kassin et al. 2010). There are various issues that regulate suspect characteristics in all criminal proceedings including the following. First, adolescence is a transitional period between childhood and adulthood and is usually accompanied with various emotional, physical and mental changes. Therefore, most confessions provided by adolescents are treated with cautious compared to those provided by children or adults. It is extremely difficult to establish the truth in confessions offered by adolescents. Secondly, intellectual disability disallows anybody from being considered fit to offer credible information to the police regarding criminal investigations (Kassin et al. 2010). People may be willing to volunteer to offer information but their intellectual disabilities disqualifies them from participating in this activity.
Amid the numerous political texts shaping the United States’ image in its early development stage, the Maryland Toleration Act is the one deserving specific attention. Being passed in 1649, it became among the first regulatory acts seriously considering the issue of religious freedoms. Although nowadays most of its provisions would seem discriminating and relatively cruel, it was a step in the right direction, the first glimpse of American liberties. The aspects covered in the Act remain relevant and manifest themselves in today’s world. The Maryland Toleration Act was adopted during the historical period when the church’s authority was still unquestionable. That led to a significant amount of prosecutions related to faith and personal beliefs. Maryland authorities realized the critical need to stop such practices for ensuring the prosperous life of the diverse Christian settlers. Otherwise, the conflicts among them would aggravate, slowly destroying the Province from the inside and impairing its economy. The new Act provided all Christians with the long-awaited freedom of worship, making any actions against them illegal. It is also worth mentioning that the Act equally covered both Maryland citizens and those temporarily residing in it or visiting it for business or personal needs. So, the document was addressed to the general public without restricting its application to any specific group. Therefore, it became a reliable source of a new policy associated with religious issues, which later formed the foundation for the rights declared in the First Amendment. Although the document contained some relevant provisions and was quite a progressive text for its era, my first impression while reading it was a shock. That was due to the cruel nature of the punishments stipulated in it for the behavior considered typical today. Would anyone expect to face anything stricter than public condemnation for blaspheming Jesus or the Holy Trinity? The Toleration Act provided for the death penalty for such crimes without even considering the idea that an individual is free to believe in God or not. The concept of prohibiting work on Sundays is also unthinkable for most of us. All this shows the low value of life during those times and the widespread indifference to people’s freedoms. It is appalling to realize that these concepts were regular practice just a few centuries ago. However, thinking further about the concept of the value of life and attitude towards death, I have to admit that this issue remains a significant one. While the authorities certainly do not sentence people to death for religious offenses anymore, the United Stated remains among the few countries that are still applying capital punishment. Unfortunately, even a thorough investigation and trial procedure is not a guarantee that the right person is sentenced. History has numerous grief examples of the opposite, and the offender rehabilitation after the sentenc
It is always interesting and educative to read what different people think about the ways of how the world has been created. There are so many suggestions and powerful ideas that it is hard to believe that some of them are false, this is why it is better to compare them, define strong and weak sides, and take the best aspects into consideration. In this paper, two passages taken from the field of anthropology will be evaluated and compared. The first passage is An Aranda Creation Story that comes from the Australian tribes and defines the creator as “a living creature, covered with a smooth skin like the skin of a man” (“An Aranda Creation Story” 451). The second article is devoted to “The Big Bang Theory” that is properly discussed in one of the astronomy textbooks. Its author admits that in the beginning, it was “a great primeval fireball of matter and radiation” (Abell 451) the image of which is hard to imagine even nowadays. The main idea of this essay is to evaluate the authors’ attempts to contribute the world of anthropology; in the both articles, it is admitted that the earth has its beginning, but the reasons of why the earth appeared are hard to understand; however, the main difference of both passages is the way of how the earth was developed: the first work introduces the idea of the god’s interference, and the second work discusses the natural development of the earth due to the explosion. Anthropology is the science the main purpose of which is to disclose the peculiarities of humanity and the ways of how the world was developed. The works under consideration may become a significant contribution for this field, and their authors admit that the earth has its own history, and people had nothing in common with it. Each passage is a unique understanding of earth’s birth. The style of writing chosen by the authors as well as language is simple enough so that the both articles are clear to any reader. Another significant aspect of the works is the identification of the fact that the earth has its own beginning, and this beginning had nothing in common with Christian beliefs or the dinosaurs, the role of which remains to be important nowadays, or the apes, behaviour of which is usually compared to humans. It does not matter what kind of earth’s beginning is taken into consideration, the peculiar feature of the both passages is the idea to contradict the approaches, which are highly appreciated in the modern world. This is why it is possible to believe that the thing that unites both works under analysis is the necessity to create the approaches of world’s development, which are appropriate for different cultures and characterized by specific attitude
Introduction and Rationale Globally, alcohol consumption is a big health risk. According to Birech et al. (137), it is the third biggest health risk and among the leading causes of high morbidity and mortality rates in developing countries. Indeed, the chronic intake, or long-term intake of alcohol, leads to serious health complications such as liver disease, mental health problems, and permanent head damage (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism 5). To affirm this finding, studies done in the United Kingdom (UK) have shown that liver complication is the fifth largest cause of death in the country (Birech et al. 137). In fact, researchers estimate that it accounts for more than 15,000 deaths in the country, annually (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism 5). Associated socioeconomic effects of excessive, or irresponsible, alcohol consumption have also led to the increase of socioeconomic ills such as crime, sexual abuse, road accidents, and the likes (Grønbæk 407; Birech et al. 137). The British Crimes Survey reinforces the association between crime, injury, and alcohol by reporting that more than 76,000 incidences of facial injuries were associated with alcohol consumption (Birech et al. 137). Studies that have investigated the relationship between excessive alcohol consumption and mortality rates have also established that 26% of deaths among 16-24 year olds are because of irresponsible drinking (Grønbæk 407). According to Birech et al. (137), the per capita consumption of alcohol in the US is more than 1.9 gallons. This statistic is equivalent to about two-thirds of an ounce of alcohol every day. Demographic differences explain how people consume this much alcohol. For example, studies conducted in Europe (the United Kingdom and Scandinavia in particular) have shown that there is a higher percentage of males who consume alcohol (75%) compared to their female counterparts (56%) (Birech et al. 137). Relative to these findings, health researchers have highlighted a growing problem of poor lifestyle choices among young people (Collins and Carey 498). In detail, there has been a lot of concern among different health groups regarding the increased incidences of smoking, irresponsible sexual practices, and alcoholism among the youth (Grønbæk 407). Often, many public health campaigns have focused on addressing smoking and irresponsible sexual behaviors among the youth. Comparatively, there have been limited attempts to address alcoholism, which is a serious, and growing problem among this demographic. The seriousness of the health problem stems from the fact that alcoholism among the youth has become part of a young and growing culture among many American students who see it as a “part-time activity” (Collins, Witkiewitz, and Larimer 322). For example, in many colleges around the country, undergraduate students engage in binge drinking, not because it is beneficial to them, but because it is what they do to “pass time” and have fun. To support t
Introduction Background Information Community service as a concept has gained popularity throughout the world for various reasons. Perold & Rahmat (1997:14) are of the view that this concept is gaining popularity in discourses taking place throughout the world. This is especially the case in community development discussions. Bryant & West (2011) views community service as service or activity that “…..is donated or performed by an individual or a group of individuals to benefit the community” (p. 82). The aim of community service is to benefit members of the public or the various institutions that are found in a contemporary society. It is noted that not every individual who provides community service can be referred to as a volunteer. This is a common misconception among members of the public. It is not everyone who is contributing to the wellbeing of the community is doing so at their own free will. This is given the fact that the individual may be compelled to provide community service by various factors. Such an individual cannot be conceptualised as a volunteer. However, those who provide community service on their own volition with the sole aim of benefiting members of the society and the various social institutions can be regarded as volunteers (Hustinx, 2005: 530). So what are some of the reasons that compel someone to provide community service? According to Jones & Hill (2003: 539), there a
