Introduction The growth of global society and the reduction of barriers through globalization represent major vehicles for expansion. Capitalism is essential to consider in this case because it represents an economic system based on the private ownership of production means to earn a profit (Weiss 189). All countries worldwide operate on the basis of capitalism to increase their prosperity and ensure the well-being of their citizens. However, some may abuse their power in the global arena and use the resources of less privileged parties for the purpose of getting rich. Sweatshop Warriors: Immigrant Women Workers Take on the Global Factory by Miriam Ching Yoon Louie brilliantly discusses the growth and expansion of globalized capitalism through the direct testimonies of immigrant women workers. The analysis will aim to answer several questions regarding the gains from the book from a historian’s perspective, the events on which the work shed light, the point of view on the events, the accuracy of their representation, and the use in World History courses. The book was chosen for the present analysis due to the author giving the voice to those people who were abused by the institution of capitalism and showing how they fought back against exploitation despite being at the very lowest step of the economic ladder. Sources used to write the review included Weiss’s Business Ethics and Logan’s “Emerging Ghettos” as they provide some insights into the economic and racial issues described in Sweatshop Warriors. Analysis Ching Yoon Louie explores the problem of the reemergence of sweatshops in the United States in the late twentieth century. It was assumed that sweatshops disappeared a long time ago, and their presence would not be accepted due to the increased awareness of society of the problem. Sweatshops represent an instrument to the development of capitalism both in the US and globally. The exploitation and oppression of workers that are put in inhumane conditions allow large companies to extend the production of their goods and become more equipped to compete with other capitalists. The extremely low pay that workers receive is the key to the success of organizations that abuse labor. Historical Events The creation of labor unions in the US was to end sweatshops in the country through collaborating with political allies, social institutions, and public supporters of no-abuse labor. In 1955, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) was established as a significant step in the labor movement to provide advocacy and support to workers. Ching Yoon Louie reflects on the AFL-CIO in 2000 and the speech given by Rojana “Na” Cheunchujit in front of 20,000 workers, demanding to end sanctions against employees (215). Na was among the seventy-two Thai workers who were kept at the El Monte, CA sweatshop and forced to sew garments for little to no pay in 1988. Their case terrified the nation because, by that time, everyone thought that sweatshops only existed overseas and not in the States. Historians will gain a tremendous n
In the story ‘the Yellow Wallpaper’ by Charlotte, the narrator is a lady who is married to a physician and confined in a room covered with yellow wallpaper. Throughout the entire story, the narrator is emotionally disturbed and is filled with bad feelings such as dislike, loneliness, obsession, nostalgia, anger, sadness, and helplessness. The narrator suffers from a mental condition and is angered by the fact that her husband who is a physician does not believe that she is sick ‘You see he does not believe I am sick!’ (Gilman 1). Contrary to what is expected of physicians, her husband who is a physician dismisses the seriousness of her condition and goes on assuring relatives and friends that she only suffers from ‘a slight hysterical tendency’ (Gilman 2). This makes her feel so helpless ‘And what can one do?’ (Gilman 2). The narrator also has a dislike towards her husband’s actions. He gives her drugs and forbids her from performing any congenial work ‘Personally, I disagree with their ideas’ (Gilman 2). She is also filled with sadness because of a lack of support from her husband and society in coping with her condition. “-but John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad” (Gilman 5). From the way she describes and interacts with the room, one can notice that she has a dislike and immense hatred towards the room she is confined in. She believes that hatred radiates from the room. “It is stripped off–the paper–in great patches all around the head of my bed, about as far as I can reach, and is a great place on the other side of the room low down. I never saw a worse paper in my life” (Gilman, 9). She hates the yellow color and describes it as unclean. She also supposes that the room was a nursery school and the children studying in it must have hated the wallpaper just like her. This clearly shows that she hates the room because it confines her from the outside world and she is, therefore, unable to interact with other people (Gilman 7-19).

National Park Utah is one of the most majestic spots on the planet as it astounds with mother nature’s wisdom and grandness. The place is often a topic of discussion related to various issues including tourism, environment, and American history. The collapse of Wall Arch called for new discussions and particular actions of policymakers. The short press release by Paul Henderson (2017) highlights a few details of the collapse. A very short and informative piece includes a brief report of the changes that took place due to some natural forces such as erosion and gravity (Henderson, 2017). However, this event should be discussed in detail and result in positive changes, and a piece of persuasive writing can help achieve this goal. This event should become a turning point for many since people should start thinking about the consequences of their actions and the attitude towards the environment. A wide audience can be attracted with the help of a blog or newspaper article that encourages people to reflect and take actions. The author should appeal to people’s senses, memories, and feelings associated with the past and future generations. The author should draw people’s attention towards the natural beauty of the places they live in or travel to. In conclusion, it is possible to note that persuasive genre is the most appropriate to the case in question. The writing can make people make sure that they have seen some of the most picturesque places as these spots can vanish at any minute. It can also force policymakers to be more active and effective when it comes to environmental issues as people are losing numerous meaningful things contributing to decay and destruction.

In order to challenge the constitutionality of any given law, one must first of all present facts in a court of law to qualify for a standing to initiate a suit. In this case, for example, the Citizens for a Clean Future (CCF), a group of environmental activists, want to challenge the proposed development of an aluminium smelting plant by RRE International. The group’s move is a result of the possible impacts the proposed plant would have on the environment around the plant. Based on the facts collected from similar plants elsewhere in the world, the group came up with hypotheses on how the company would carry out its duties. Based on these hypotheses, the group assessed the potential sources of harm on the environment. These sources include the building of a coal-fired power plant, and diversion of the Long Trout River to form a dam that would be used in hydropower generation. These actions, according to the group, can have serious environmental impacts (Liverman et al., 2009). This is a report to ascertain whether or not the group has legal standing to challenge the proposed development of the aluminium smelting plant. An analysis of the law basing on past cases Sierra Club v. Morton, 405 US 727 (1972) This case involved a suit presented by Sierra Club to protest against the development of Mineral King. The development was supposed to be carried out near Sequoia National Park. Sierra Club is an environmental group that opposed the development of Mineral King citing a potential harm to the environment. The group sought to get a standing to carry out a lawsuit with the aim of preventing harm that would have occurred if Mineral King’s development had been allowed to continue. In this case, the court made a ruling that favored the continued development of the Mineral King noting that Sierra Club lacked a standing especially when it acted in a corporate capacity. However, the court made a note that, specific members in the club who face the risk of harm would have a standing to sue the government for the development (US Supreme Court Center, 1972). With reference to this case, Citizens for a Clean Future may not have a standing to file a lawsuit against RRE International if the group acts in a corporate capacity. The fact that the group does not have local members worsens their position. It would not be possible to support one of their members to be the plaintiff because the impact of the activities carried out by the company may not be felt within other states. Lujan v. National Wildlife Federation, 497 US 871 (1990) In this case, the federal
Introduction Quick response manufacturing is a concept employed by companies in reducing lead time while remaining competitive in the market. Quick Response Manufacturing is a strategic tool to “to cut lead times in all phases of manufacturing and office operations. It can bring your products to market more quickly and secure your business prospects by helping you compete in a rapidly changing manufacturing arena” (Quick Response Manufacturing 1). Companies realize more profit generation, improved time efficiency, and an overall effect of increasing on internal rate of return, net present value, and other return investment benefits in a time-based competitive environment. According to the article Quick response Manufacturing (1), this reduces the number of processes a product goes through in the manufacturing and value addition cutting the manufacturing life cycle of a product. Companies employ this strategy by effectively identifying the size of their customer population and identifying the actual needs the customers have while tailoring products according to the actual needs of their customers. In addition to that, a company that strategically implements the Quick Response Manufacturing concept leads it to identify supply chain activities and efficiently identifies the need to access customers in a timely manner. QRM’s goal is for companies to reduce lead time and emphasize efficient utilization and allocation of resources using software products such as ERP and APS. To realize all the benefits discussed above, the manufacturing company should implement the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) and Shop Floor Data collection software and integrate them together within its workplace. The ERP consists of a number of modules implemented as per the QRM requirements. In addition to that, the company is compelled to introduce changes in line with the requirements of the new software to help it gain a strategic position in the market. Stalk and George (120) talk of the changes that must be introduced. These include office operations, data collection methods, and other organizational activities leading to efficient utilization of organizational resources (Suri 45). Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) In a time when competition is rife in the manufacturing and product delivery services Quick Response Manufacturing QRM,) is a concept employed by manufacturing companies and other business concerns to reduce response time and manufacture products customized to the needs of the market. Mathaisel (122) asserts that for a manufacturing company to benefit from QRM, QRM must achieve lead time by integrating new and efficient approaches to time minimization in task completion, planning on the efficient utili
Introduction When it comes to information analytics, it is possible to use one of two approaches to deal with data. It refers to batch processing and real-time processing, and each of these phenomena implies its own peculiarities. In general, batch processing is suitable for transactions that are independent of one another, while real-time processing deals with subordinate units. However, the most significant differences also include the time lag and resource lag, which emphasizes the advantages and disadvantages of the issues under consideration. Essence To begin with, one should mention that the time lag is one of the essential characteristics used to distinguish between real-time and batch systems. According to Dataflair Team (2018), batch processing means that similar pieces of information are collected and analyzed at the end of a particular period. Printing utility bills is a suitable example of batch processing. At the same time, real-time processing is used to generate results either immediately or in a few seconds (Dataflair Team, 2018). For example, the reservation of tickets online shows how data is analyzed on a real-time basis. Thus, the time delay represents a significant difference between the two approaches, while its absence is an essential advantage of real-time processing. In addition to that, the resource use is another peculiarity that makes a difference. On the one hand, Rehman (2018) stipulates that real-time processing requires more resources to cope with its task. For example, it refers to more sophisticated hardware and software that can analyze data immediately. On the other hand, batch processing does not require many resources because it does not need to follow strict time limits. Consequently, one can say that real-time processing is a more complex task for an organization, which implies many resources. According to the information above, it is possible to state that operational efficiency can be improved with the help of batch processing. Pufahl and Weske (2019) point out that this kind of processing is “a common phenomenon in operational processes to reduce cost or time” (p. 1909). The general principles of this data processing method make it possible to achieve any positive results. It relates to the fact that batch processing is not used to deal with individual transactions. Instead, this phenomenon groups separate transactions into batches and analyze them as a whole. This fact results in fewer efforts that should be made to obtain the required results. Even though the two phenomena under consideration are different, it is possible to combine them. Such an opp
Abstract This paper inspects the powerful variables that are more noteworthy concerning the buying behavior and states of mind towards settling on a buying choice. The paper highlights the significance of identity attributes, social foundations, societal standards, purchase circumstances and mental thinking. These compelling variables characterize how a man carries on and settles on a choice when purchasing merchandise and items in the commercial center. The paper unravels each powerful component and creates a chain of importance positioning framework to delineate the significance and adequacy of every variable. While making the chain of importance, the paper considered the principle focuses that the group members talked about. The material exhibited in the course reading material, and the group members’ judgment of every component. By and large, the paper considered both subjective and target points of view of the compelling components. The paper presumed that every component did have an impact somehow, yet each was measured in an unexpected way. The paper will uncover our own positioning of powerful elements and our thought processes in picking each. The paper will likewise give our solidified pecking order of the influential factors on buying behavior and the thinking behind it. Introduction Buying behavior is the study of how, when, why and where people do or do not source for goods or services. It attempts to assess the influence of the clients from external factors such as high salaries and income, the growth of urban lifestyle, among others. It is a common practice for the customers to purchase goods and services for a number of reasons. These reasons may include reinforcing self-concepts, maintaining a given lifestyle, becoming part of a particular group or gaining acceptance in a group they already belong, and or expressing cultural identity. This paper explores the important hierarchical factors that influence the actions of the consumers. The theme under study is a portrayal of how the chain of the importance of powerful elements drives the customers to settle on an official conclusion on purchasing behavior. It is essential to acknowledge how one variable is influencing another on the grounds that we need to comprehend the buyers’ activities, sentiments, and considerations that can apply to business technique, shape society and settle on dependable choices as a purchaser. The layout of the paper structures as uncovering the methodology of how we categorize the persuasive components by mirroring the significance of each. We utilize our group personality maps and level headed discussions to portray how those compelling elements settle on in the choice procedure. At that point, we examine about the shocks and morals that we experienced in organizing this paper. We further incorporate monetary variables that were not examined in the chain of importance and think of a finish of what we have found out about the impacts from shopper behavior. The paper relies on past and present literature to present the facts which are both theoretical and practical. Since shoppers vary cross
Introduction Publius Cornelius Tacitus was one of the prominent historians and writers who made a number of successful attempts to describe the conditions under which the Roman Empire had to develop and promote the relations with other countries. For a long period of time, the Roman Empire was considered as a powerful country, and its power was so great, that the vast majority of enemies or simple envious countries were not able to notice how weak the political and economical situation in the country was. Tacitus’ involvement into the political world of the Rome helped him create several powerful works where he described the style of Roman life, the challenges its citizens faced, and some other problems Roman society used to solve. The Agricola and the Germania are the two educative works which describe the achievements of the Roman Empire from different perspectives: the Germania is based on the traditions which were set by the Roman government for all those German people and helps to comprehend how the conditions of the Empire could influence the development of other countries; and the Agricola represents the story of a Governor of Britain that makes it possible to demonstrate Roman virtues and their impact on Roman style. Body The Germania and the Agricola as the two significant works in Tacitus career . In spite of the fact that these two works written by Tacitus touch upon lives of different people, they both are about the Roman Empire, and to be more exact, about the lives of different people under the same conditions and with the same opportunities. Different nations are united to achieve the same purpose – to confront the rules dictated by the Romans who have already suffered from its wealth and power. These books seem to be a magnificent insight into the Roman life and the style people have to follow. On the one hand, the author underlines the cruelty of the times and focus on how “many have died by the chance happenings of fate; all the most energetic have fallen victims to the cruelty of the emperor” (Tacitus, Agricola , 53). On the other hand, the author says that the Roman impact on other societies’ lives remains to be integral: “it lay indeed like any other refuse of the sea, until Roman luxury made its reputation” (Tacitus, Germania , 139). Political perspective helps to understand better the nature of Rome. To explain how terrible and unpleasant the conditions developed by the Roman Empire were, the author made a decision to develop his story around one character, Domitian, who was strict, prejudiced, and cruel. Even people around could cope with his cruelty because one of the most terrible torments for his people was “to see him with his eyes fixed upon use. Every sigh was registered against us; and when we all turned pale, he did not scruple to make use marked men by glance of his savage countenance” (Tacitus
