Constitutional Issue and Details of the Case The constitutional issue that I am going to discussed is based on the case of a Caucasian female, Abigail Fisher. She applied for the University of Texas (UT), and it is important to mention that the was not a part of the top ten percent of the class, so she had to strive for admission with other undergraduates who also were in the top ten percent of their classes ( Fisher v. Univ. of TX at Austin , 2013). Nonetheless, the UT disregarded Fisher’s submission. Subsequently, Fisher claimed that the UT dismissed her application based on her race and decided to file a suit against the university. Fisher supported her claim by the fact that the equal protection clause was violated (being an integral part of the Fourteenth Amendment) ( Fisher v. Univ. of TX at Austin , 2013). In response, the UT claimed that their strategy was to guarantee diversity and did not agree that they violated any of Fisher’s rights. The district court’s and the Court of Appeals’ decisions were in favor of the UT. Taking that into account, Fisher decided to file another complaint and challenge the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The Impact of the Key Arguments on the Major Parties Involved in the Case The impact of this case on the criminal justice system is substantial due to the act of consideration of race. The judicial system was affected by the previous legal instances of coping with the admissions involving minorities (Collins & Ringhand, 2013). The overall decision was based on the standard investigation of the case and its acquiescence with the Fourteenth Amendment. In this case, the problem consisted in the fact that the Supreme Court had to identify if the policy served exclusively as an adjustment to the governmental interests. All the parties involved in the case concluded that if the policy was not compliant with the previous standards, the commission did not have the right to consider race to be one of the factors that influenced the process of admission (Collins & Ringhand, 2013). The issue of diversity impacted the ultimate decision of the Supreme Court and the judicial system in general. It was later claimed that the lower courts did not collect adequate evidence concerning the case and the decision was overturned. The Influence of the Court Decision on the Criminal Justice Policy This unique case caught the attention of the whole country and its impact on justice policy standards is evident. Automa
Introduction Career development is a great and significant task that every person has to carry out. The path to be followed when developing one’s career is dependent on the career that one has taken up. Apart from just getting a degree in the area of interests there are various things a person can do in order to develop his/her skills. This paper discuses the development of Mechanical engineer and some of the professional bodies that a mechanical engineer ought to join in order to develop his/her career. Personal and Professional Development Personal development includes the gradual development that an individual attains in his/her career life through the various activities he/she undertakes on a daily basis that enables him/her continues learning various new things in that career. It is an all rounded kind of development which involves the mind, the heart, the spirit and the body. Personal development therefore enhances a wholesome development of an individual. In personal development, an individual may require to be keen on a few areas in order to be up dated and to avoid stagnating in one position. For instance, in the engineering field, it is important to outline your goal clearly as this will make it far much easier to achieve it. Self discipline is important in helping one to develop personally. One ought to point out his/her strengths and capitalize on developing them. Again, an individual should find means of improving his/her productivity. Professional development on the other hand refers to the skills and knowledge an individual in a certain profession seeks to attain in order to optimize his personal development and to avoid stagnating in one position in his job field thus ensuring that there is a job growth. Professional development is established through various activities such as completing professional courses, attending professional workshops and seminars and it should be evaluated regularly to determine the qualifications and the ability of an individual. Professional development in the engineering field refers to the planned process of personal growth that facilitates development in every professional engineer to full potential. The field of engineering like any other field involves a continuing personal or professional development and every individual is responsible for his personal and professional development. The continuing personal development is an ongoing developmental process whereby individuals drive their own learning and development through reflections and taking actions. It is an empowering and stimulating process that gets individuals working towards their dreams in order to achieve their aspirations. By continuously examining oneself, an engineer views his career from, a wider perspective by giving him an opportunity to develop his own career and challeng
Introduction History traces Morgantown as a stopping point for distinguished frontiersmen like Davy Crocket and Daniel Boones. It is also associated with the representative of the church of the Latter Saint, Senator J. Ervin. Maya, a group consisting of mostly immigrants from Guatemalan forms a majority of the population of this town. The town buildings such as religious institutions have been fortified to illustrate the warmth connected to the Maya community. Besides, Morganton believes in its dynamism and as a growing community embracing the social and economic prowess based on agricultural activities (Fink, 8). Immigration and legislation The Maya benefitted to a larger extend by the US immigration legislation of 1986. This has continued to shape their systems of engagement in Morganton. The legislation provided an opportunity for undocumented ethnicity, which has lived in the US for several years’ automatically gain legal status and ascend to a better employment in the visible economy. This development created new opportunities for Mayans and barred the secret employment sector of sweet shops, day construction labor, and agricultural piecework for the new immigrant to fill. As a result of these changes, many Mayans moved to traditional agricultural, migrant stream that many Mexicans were instantaneously vacating. Diversified Economy Morganton The economy of Morganton arose as a result of being a transportation hub and a trade gateway linking the plantations in the south to newly formed markets. Thus, the slaves during the 1860s, was believed to have influenced the abundance of the town and local families (Fink, 8). The 19th century saw agriculture being joined by other economic activities such as furniture factories, lumbering and Textile Mills. These industries actively contributed to absorbing Morganton Mayan population into the area labor force. The characteristics of Industries formed in Morganton evolved and acquired national recognitions, thus; government purchased some of them. For example, the Drexel Furniture was acquired by the state in 1903 (Fink, 8) Rapid economic development in Morganton gained momentum after the WWII. This was prompted by the construction of the Federal 40 link which crossed through the Burke County. Consequently, the local chamber of commerce report, released in 1964, emphasized the latest developments in the economic sector. This was in terms of establishment of 12 new industries which included; the shoe factories, furniture firms, Knitting Mills, fish hatcheries, machine tool operations and Breeden’s Poultry Inc., later it became to be known as the Case Farms. The local Morgantown industries bellowed after the postwar. Fink (8) asserts
Representation of the Article “A Father’s Faith” In “A Father’s Faith”, Miriam Toews describes the story of a family and its relation to religion and community rules. Its distinctive feature and the main topic is the possibility to combine various attitudes towards the same place and people and find out the meaning of life. Being a mature teacher, a good husband, and a kind father, Mel Toews is still under a serious threat because “if life doesn’t make sense you lose yourself in it, your spirit decays” (Toews 113). At the same time, the family continues living in the same town and being good representatives of the Mennonite community where everyone knows the history and roots of each other. The problem is that despite complaints, depression, and ambiguous thoughts where “the world was sad and unsafe place for him”, the father of the family believes that “his town provided shelter from it” (Toews 114). Mel tries to underline the benefits of this life so his children could understand the worth of this life and enjoy it the way he did it. In this story, the narrator covers different periods of life and says that human experience is the best barometer of relationships. With every new paragraph, I discover significant and controversial elements for people to rely on in their intentions to be happy and satisfied with their choices. Mel liked the idea that “teaching school – helping others make sense of the world – was a good profession for a man who was continuously struggling to find meaning in life” (Toews 113). However, he was depressed as he was “living in that freaky, austere place where this world isn’t good enough” (Toews 113). Such description proves a contradiction of thoughts that cannot be avoided even in a perfect world with a life full of sense, emotions, and responsibilities. Conceptual Relationship Between “Intoxicated by My Illness” and “A Father’s Faith” It seems that the conceptual relationship between “Intoxicated by My Illness” and “A Father’s Faith” lies on the surface. In both essays, the authors discuss the life, its meaning for different people, and the choices that have to be made under certain conditions before their deaths. However, the ways used by Toews in her “A Father’s Faith” and Broyard in his “Intoxicated by My Illness” vary considerably turning the former as a perfect conceptual respond to the latter. Broyard introduced the world where a person accepts the fact of being dying and discovers only the best moments in order to inspire his family and his friends. Toews, in her turn, focuses on the details that make life unpredictable and not always happy, thus contributing to the vision of the previous author. The conceptual relationship between the stories of Broyard and Toews should not be limited to the meaning of life but expanded to the feeling of inevitability that is depicted in different ways, the intentions to enjoy the present, and the connection with a family as the major gift. In both texts, the main charac
In spite of the fact that the history has shown not once that a human being is a versatile creature that does not adhere to such notion as “norm”, there have been heavy arguments about what the notorious norm is supposed to be. These are only the recent times when a man’s personal life was considered the holy of the holies. Still the arguments on the way people should lead their lives are going on and do not seem to cease. The question of norm, well discussed so far, still turns into a problem to keep silent about as it touches upon a man’s sexual life. Indeed, it is quite reasonable that people are not supposed to know the details of one’s personal life as long as these details do not interfere the others’ safety. However, the debates that have been going on as people touched upon the question of homosexuality as not a deviation, but something that has the right to exist, the reaction was bios and very emotional. Most people tended to treat the new idea with disgust or resentment, and there was a long way to go to convince them that the new ideas posed no threat to their personal space and safety. This was a huge step towards the democratic principles, since homosexuality was no longer considered a mental disease, but a form of a person’s sexuality that was shaped under the influence of certain factors. In other words, this was not a mental illness to be treated in the hospital. The scale of the event could be equal to a revolution. Indeed, the forces that it took to make people recognize homosexuality as a shape of norm are indescribable. Sometimes people can be very stubborn about their prejudice, and this was the very case. The indignation that the society met the news with was worth being called a revolt, not an armed one, of course, but the moral one, which might have been ever harder to take. This is where the concept of multitude as the blind force that night take over and which the government should take into account comes to mention. The clue of this small revolution is that the norms that have been internalized and that have crawled into our body and mind, making it ossified, literally, while admitting that these norms are something that can be regulated and adjusted to the new stages of human’s development makes people more flexible and gives the additional survival ability. Although the ideas that concern sexuality seem to be more appropriate to discuss in private, one cannot but admit that there is a certain link between the social and the private life. It has been clearly expressed by Foucault, who said that “The law always refers to the sword. But a power whose task is to take charge of life needs continuous regulatory and corrective mechanisms” (144). Indeed, the problem of democracy that underlies the one of considering homosexuality a crime is something that needs to be spoken of. This is also the issue of the biopower and the immaterial labour that this democratic step is about. The connection is quite understood and easy to explain. Suppressing the
The innovative design of a product is the first thing the customers notice. Hence, creating a product with the state-of-the-art design is extremely essential for the people to pay attention to them and then clarify the actual options of the item. So, working as a major attraction, the design merely tells its story of creation. The further two products – Dyson Air Multiplier and the clamshell packaging – will be explored as per their design features and functions to showcase the well-designed product and the poorly designed one. So, the major outstanding feature of the design of the Dyson Air Multiplier is circle that attracts the customer and makes him/her wonder how it can possibly work and produce air. Once the fan is on it becomes completely understandable that the design is not only pretty and extraordinary, rather it has been made this way to produce the air further than an average fan with spinning blades. The latter is not able to heat up the room as quickly as Dyson Air Multiplier does and as evenly. Therefore, the circle mentioned above is the major feature of the design being fabulous (with its silver color) and useful – the air is accumulated around the hoop and then pushed out further into the room to heat up or cool off the air evenly. Moreover, the design comprises the functions of adjusting the temperature exactly to what a customer needs on the fan or directly with the remote, unlike conventional fans. The innovative Dyson Air Multiplier is also a very useful and safe for kids. This may e one of the major reasons to cherish the new design. The customer will not be afraid that a child can stick the finger into the blades spinning or get burnt. The worst design that has ever been created is the clamshell packaging. It was thoughtfully made up in order to prevent thefts in the stores. However, there are hundreds of customers totally dissatisfied with the clamshell when it comes to opening the actual product inside. The design is thought through the way to prevent stealing rates. The design is known to facilitate the product’s usage, whereas this one seems to work on irritating the customers. It is the worst thought through design ever found. Moreover, when you are trying to open the package, very frequently the product inside is urgently need so you unpack the thing very quickly and can get hurt. There are many cases of injuries caused by clamshell packaging recorded by hospitals all over the US. Therefore, this design is far from being a wining or philanthropist. There is even a term defined by Wikipedia defined ‘wrap rage’ or ‘package rage’ describing the feeling of a person while unpacking the item. The unrelenting piece of plastic can cause utmost frustration which is not god for human psyche and overall state of mind. The design is doomed to be rethought or even withdrawn from the stores’
Data Collection The goal of this project is to support the development of the sphere of education in Saudi Arabia on the example of one of its well-known institutions, Dhahran Ahliyya School, through the provision of educational books and high-quality materials that can be available to teachers and students. It means that it is necessary to focus on the qualitative aspect of the work. As a rule, collective qualitative data is time-consuming even if small amounts of data are necessary (Hopkins 138). It is not enough to create and pose several questions, surf the web, or make observations. It is more important to analyze the information found and apply it to the standards and requirements of the already successfully defined system. Data has to be collected from different sources to make sure several aspects and perspectives can be available for research. It is decided to rely on several literary sources (books and journals), online material (official websites of Saudi Arabia institutions), and personal opinions that are taken from the interviews. The material has to be up-to-date. Still, it is possible to use some old sources to compare the achievements during different periods of time and identify what promoted education in the past. Interviews have to be properly planned, organized, and analyzed to understand the attempts have been already made in the sphere of Arab education, the benefits that can be observed by different people, and the limitations or challenges that still exist in education. Form of Analysis The general process of analysis consists of several stages. The analysis should be based on the credible material. That is why it is better to record interviews and to discuss the recording peculiarities with the interviewees before the process. This issue should be discussed in the research ethics section. First, it is necessary to develop a special system of initial codes with the help of which it is possible to memorize information and note it quickly. Then, it is obligatory to add some comments and reflections that can help to understand the peculiarities of the facts and their roles in research. Finally, it is possible to underline the same patterns or the answers that introduce different opinions and create a table within the frames of which all facts and data are properly organized. Research Ethics Research ethics is the practice that helps researchers to be fair and respectful to the participants (Alderson and Morrow 3). There are also several ethical standards that are designed to protect researchers and their achievements. The main research method of this project is an interview. Interviewees and the interviewer should be aware of the rules and their responsibilities. An interviewer has to:   * Choose the method of data collection (as a rule, Skype
In his article on the near-miss marine reporting fails, Hildeburg talks about the need to collect other data types to identify safety problems. The article’s author defines a strategy for creating and developing reports for receiving and processing ship messages. The main idea of such near-miss reporting is that back-office functions can establish reporting systems to learn about what is happening on ships. The purpose of this strategy is to provide organizational training to prevent accidents with severe consequences on ships. Even though the idea of near-miss reporting is well intended, it seems to have minimal effect or sometimes has adverse consequences. The overall effectiveness of the thesis and the article is high, as the author talks in detail about the existing problems in the topic he is covering. First, there is no stable definition of what a “near-miss” is that separates routine work problems from something reported. The lack of a purpose that can be put into effect creates a reporting practice determined by the fact that the vessel is trying to meet reporting requirements. As a result, there are reports of everyday events with little potential for learning. Secondly, the author’s research has shown an apparent underestimation of information about events that can occur in such cases as close collisions and landings, falling asleep on watch, incorrect assembly of engine parts, etc. These events are kept secret due to the lack of accountability management in shipping companies. Thus, the reporting system gives a distorted view of the vessel’s work – hiding structural problems that no one mentions. Thirdly, the idea that near-misses are harbingers of serious accidents can be questioned. The investigation of ship-related accidents is essential to obtain information about specific accidents and gain knowledge about the effectiveness of existing risk reduction strategies at sea.
Introduction The work is claimed to present an approach to construct photorealistic 3D models of real-world objects and to elaborate the methodology of system recognition of the movements. The system requirements are simple; therefore, the method is attractive for many applications. The computation of the visual hull is easy and fast and offers a good estimation of the object. Object recognition and object reconstructions are comparatively new spheres in computer modeling and 3D modeling in particular. Object recognition is the sub-sphere of computer vision whose aim is to distinguish objects from image data and, often, to evaluate the positions and orientations of the defined objects in the 3D world. The images to be analyzed may be 2D gray-scale or color images or 3D range data images. Applications are many and comprise industrial machine vision, remedial image analysis, and content-grounded image recovery. Object reconstruction refers to the structuring of 3D object models from image or range data. Reconstruction of 3D surroundings from sensor-achieved information is a computer vision pro
