Introduction One of those things that were created to establish the world peace yet constantly provokes conflicts, religion has never been an easy discussion topic. Unlike one might have thought, the key problem is not only that the postulates of certain religions conflict with each other; in addition, the misconceptions within the adepts of a specific confession lead to numerous problems. Adding several personal issues that one can possibly encounter during one’s own religious experience, one will get a concise portrait of the religious situation in the world in general and within the United States in particular. However, some of the core religious problems in the modern American society can and must be solved; according to American grace: How religion divides and unites us , the book written by Putnam and Campbell, certain religious issues both on the individual and social scale have the solution. Analyzing the impact that the church and religion have on the American society, the authors decide whether faith offers solutions or contributes to conflict fomentation (Chaves, 2011). Speaking of the genre of the given work, one must note that the book combines the elements of several genres. To be more exact, American grace: How religion divides and unites us , on the one hand, can be considered a science book, since it offers specific political, social and religious issues to a much wider audience. However, the given work can also be considered a research paper, since it provides a hypothesis and attempts to prove the given hypothesis right. Finally, American grace: How religion divides and unites us helps the readers dive into the depth of the American history. Blurring the line between different genres, the authors stir the reader towards a conscious evaluation of the role that religion plays in the contemporary society. The Authors and Their Methods As it has been stated above, the key topic that the authors of the book focus on is the ways in which religion shapes the contemporary society and the changes that religion brings. However, as it has been stated before, the authors do not avoid taking a historical retrospective into the development of the American religious landscape. Stressing the fact that the current religious backdrop of the American society is extremely diverse, the authors dwell on the changes that the religious society has undergone for the sake of maintaining tolerance and democracy and touch upon such issues as interfaith or same-sex marriage, etc. Moreover, Putnam and Campbell take a closer look at the process of a religious identity shaping. Hence, the thesis statement that the given work revolves around can be summarized in the following way: despite the years of misunderstanding and misconceptions between the representatives of different religions in the USA, with the help of tolerant attitudes, religious misunderstandings are long gone. In addition, with the help of their research, Putnam and Campbell seem to have been working towards encouraging more people to display tolerance towards other religions an
Introduction An abdominal aortic aneurysm or AAA, as it is commonly known, is the irreversible swelling of the aortas in the abdomen that is beyond 50% which is the normal diameter in radius. The majority of the AAA is located around the aortic branching within the inferential aorta. An AAA rupture risk is even higher as the diameter of the aorta increases, after the AAA raptures, the death rate is substantial. 80% of the patients who manage to get to the hospital, and approximately 50% of the patients that undergo surgery due to a ruptured AAA, most certainly die (Golledge, 2019). The rapture of an AAA is known all over for its substantial death rate, preventing its development, swelling and rapture has become the primary goal and objective in the treatment methods. Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms, and Predispositions of AAA Pathophysiology Instead of being a fixed chronic condition, aortic dissection illness is a complicated and evolving pathophysiological process. Three major processes largely contribute to the AAA observable characteristics; nameley swelling, smooth muscle cell death, and proteolysis. Understanding the causes of aortic dissection degeneration and the elements that cause the shift from a mildly inflated abdominal aorta
Introduction Man has been fascinated by heavenly bodies since time immemorial. The inquisitive nature of human beings pertaining to what lies beyond the glittering sky and the mystery of how the moon constantly changes shape, made man embark on a journey to space. In this regard, early scientists like Galileo delved into astronomy in a bid to demystify the theories of creation and the possible existence of other heavenly bodies aside from earth. These early astronomers faced resistance from the church, because they were proposing scientific theories that went against the doctrines of the church. By and large, significant strides have been made in space exploration ever since the first man landed on moon (Lambright 174). Despite the fact that space research has some negative effects, it has highly benefited the human race. Advantages of Space Exploration Some scientists are arguing that the earth is currently coping with population pressure, which is straining the available resources. From an economic perspective, there are too many competing wants that should be met by limited and non-renewable resources (Czysz and Claudio 269). Consequently, space research is paramount in the research on possibilities of harnessing space resources. Arguably, space resources may be used to augment production on earth so that firms do not go out of business due to input scarcity (Morris 5). It is important to note that space exploration has enhanced people’s understanding of how fragile our planet earth is. Through space exploration, the human race has been able to appreciate that the universe needs care from each one of us. Moreover, it is as a result of space research that some questions regarding how the universe works has been answered. Space exploration has provided answers to questions like, what exactly is up in the sky and what goes on there which would otherwise be troubling human beings (Huadong and Ji 10). On the same note, many students are motivated to work hard in their studies by the idea that one day they might be among the astronauts who will discover something new. Admittedly, space exploration has led to the discovery of new and faster modes of communication, thanks to satellites that have been launched into space. There are many internet applications that are used for navigation via Global Positioning Systems (GPS) which are aided by satellites in space. Furthermore, images of the earth can be captured from space enabling the location of buildings or other objects (Morris 7). The information gathered is useful to civilians, the government and security forces in fighting crime. Additionally, satellites in space also improve the accuracy of weather predictions by meteorologists all over the world. At the same time, satellites can b
Introduction Movies and films play an important role in reflecting on real life issues in societies besides entertaining. Such issues include; moral decay, corruption in government, infringement on human rights and poverty. This paper will examine two movies; “the fields by Roland Joffe and Hotel Rwanda by Terry George”. The review focuses on similarities and differences in terms narrative strategies, tone, mood and choice of characters. Similarities in the two Movies Both movies are based on atrocities against human rights; they reveal a brunt of burning injustices in real life. The films incorporate an emotional engagement that attracts the attention of the viewer. Hotel Rwanda recounts the events of the 1994 genocide that resulted in death of close to a million Tutsis by the Hutus. In a similar vein, the killing battle illustrates the 1984 genocide in Cambodia. The two films are a historical testimony of the events that led to massive loss of innocent lives from ethnic clashes. In the killing fields, three journalists Schanberg, Swain and Pran who witnessed the Cambodian genocide under the regimes of Pol Pot and Rouge recount the stories and events of the genocide. Paul Rusesabigina who is a Hutu is portrayed in the film Hotel Rwanda as being on a rescue mission to save the lives of the vulnerable Tutsis. Both films are set to create memory of the genocide and reveal the trauma experienced as a result of the massive killings. The killing field and Hotel Rwanda are all set on an “identity conflict”. The Hutu vs Tutsi identity instilled in the two ethnic groups by their Belgium colonial masters in the 19th century is the centre stage of the conflicts. The film portrays identity illusion in which the black Hutus feel their identity is threatened by the white Tutsis. In a similar way, racism is the cause of genocide in the killing fields. Both movies reveal the hand of bad leadership as leading to genocide. In Hotel Rwanda, General Juvenal Habyarimana from the Hutu ethnic group ascended to power in 1973 through a military take-over. He led the country through dictatorial leadership. His assassination allegedly by the Tutsi rebels sparked the beginning of the genocide. Atrocities against human rights committed in the Killing Fields occurred under the brutal regimes of Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge. The themes of betrayal and forgiveness are effectively painted in both films. In Hotel Rwanda, Paul who is the main character is married to a Hutu. He provides asylum to the Tutsis who are the target of fellow countrymen from the Hutu ethnic group. Hutus feel betrayed by Paul and even threaten to unleash their anger to him together with his family. He lives under fear of attack from the Hutu militias as because of his role in providing asylum to the Tutsis. Dith Pran in the Killing fields equally finds himself in a similar position as Paul. Khmer Rouge calls for his arrest and detention in the forced labour camp for befriending foreigners. Rouge felt Pran had betrayed his regime by associating with Schanberg and revealing sensiti
Abstract This paper addresses the differences between Generations Y and X. The goal of the essay is to define the characteristics that set the two generations apart from each other, as well as explore the tendencies that both generations display and research the strategies that can be used to meet the needs of the target populations. An overview of the existing studies shows that Generation X is defined by its attitude toward family issues, particularly, the emphasis that it places on independence, as well as their impressive academic skills. Generation Y, in turn, is characterized by the emphasis that its members place on diversity in communication, as well as their technological savvy. To manage the dynamics between the two groups in the workplace, one should consider using the leadership strategy that allows encouraging independence among the company members, as well as offers extensive opportunities for change and active use of innovations. As a result, the premise for meeting the needs of both generations can be built. Introduction: The Generation Gap The phenomenon known as the generation gap has been in existence for centuries, and it has been known for affecting the relationships between the representatives of different generations extensively. The confrontations in which a generation gap typically results in the workplace lead to a significant drop in the overall productivity levels and, thus, impede the further organizational progress (Durkin, 2008). Therefore, creating approaches that will allow managing the relationships between different generations is crucial to the efficacy of a firm’s performance. To make sure that the members of Generations X and Y could coexist in the workplace, one should consider adopting the strategy that will include active promotion of independence for Generations X and the introduction of opportunities for an increase in competency levels among the representatives of Generation X. Thus, the environment in which both groups will feel comfortable will be created. Furthermore, a leadership strategy based on the active promotion of diversity and cooperation must be used to make sure that Generations X and Y should communicate efficiently and avoid conflicts successfully. Generation X: Description and Management Generation X is often addressed as the best-educated one, with a significant amount of its members having a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree and having a propensity toward independence in education, as well as in other domains of their lives. As a result, the representatives of Generation X tend to adopt a pragmatic philosophy and a corresponding set of values. Their maturity and ability to plan carefully make them very valuable employees (Lovely, 2005). Generation Y: Description and Management Born between 1965 and 1981, Generation Y is typically defined by its independence and propensity toward active learning (Re
Introduction Electrical engineering has caused tremendous changes in the electrical and electronic world. This is due to intensive and frequent researches and discoveries being made by scientists. This has led to electrical and electronic devices which have encompassed a high level of technology thus, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of these electrical machines. Voltage across the Resistor Voltage across the Inductor These superconductors will be compatible with other electrical devices such transformers, transmission cables and power limiters. For example; a current limiter with a capacity of 10.5 kilovolts and 200 amperes are being tested in some of the power research centres. The need for high-temperature superconductors has been created by the ever increasing number of power consumers. Such innovated superconductors will have the capacity to withstand high-voltage from power generators. Through this, China will have the capacity to supply electricity to major factories and to domestic consumers (Andersen, 2001). Electrical transformers have undergone tremendous changes through innovation in electric related matters. For instance, a high-voltage power holding 3-phase transformer which can withstand a capacity of 630 kV/10.5 kV for high use have been developed in Japan. Such transformers contain iron core solenoid and other high-voltage resistant materials such as stainless steel. These stainless steel materials get enforced by silver materials coated by polyamide films. This combination has allowed generation of modern electrical transformers which can withstand high electric voltage as well resistance to high temperatures. In China, modern electric transformers which have an automatic and modern cooling system have been developed. These transformers have replaced the old antiquated transformer which used circulating cooling oil in small metallic pipes. Through this, the conduction of electricity has been necessitated as a high level of degree Celsius can be lowered within a very short time. The inductor that is used is shown below; Induced electric fields The first move is to identify a conductor which must be moved in a magnetic field to start off the basic energy transfer. When the movement across the magnetic field takes place, a motional emf arises. This is because of the magnetic force that applies itself on the now mobile charges. The mobile charges always move together with the conductor and for this reason they have a velocity of a nonzero on the average. Moreover it is necessary to have a complete circuit since this will act as the platform around which the charges revolve. For these charges to begin their movements, the magnetic field is the source of their force and spurs them to motion. Calculations Suppose an RLC circuit is connected to an ac source with a fixed amplitude but variable frequency like the one given. The impedance depends on frequency. At extreme frequencies, either high or low, the impedance is larger and the amplitude of the current is therefore small. Resona
Poland Economic Factors Competition The international monetary fund recognizes Poland to have one of the leading economies in Europe. The polish air transport sector remains a global leader amidst strong competition from the key competitor North America. With the realignment of economic powers to favor the East, there is a prediction that the polish aircraft maintenance services will have a larger market. However, this realignment might bring in new competitors to the polish aircraft maintenance industry from the Eastern countries which are growing such as Brazil and India. Inflation While many countries in Europe got affected by the economic crisis of 2009, Poland economy stood strong in the face of the inflation. Being at the center of the European continent, the country has been able to enjoy economic advantage over other western European countries. At one hand, Poland hand aircraft maintenance industry gets the opportunity of having a market from the rest of the European countries due to the geographical location while, on the other hand, the industry is able to get skilled labor from these neighboring countries. This has led to the balance of supply and demand in the aircraft maintenance industry leading to the growth of the sector. Social Factors Infrastructure In the midst of vast competition, the success of the transport sector in Poland has relied on the infrastructure system of the country. The country infrastructure system has been poor, but this is radically changing as the country prepares for the 2012 soccer Euro championship. The country transport sector has received massive funding from the European Union in the effort to renovate the infrastructure. This will lead to the growth of the aircraft maintenance sector. Cost of Living The countries average income is much lower compared to other western European countries. This has directly led to lower cost of goods and services in Poland as compared to other European countries. Subsequently, many companies are outsourcing aircraft maintenance services from Poland because the prices are cheaper. Political Factors Politically, the country experiences a high level of stability. The republic of Poland has separate autonomy of power between the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. While the country has a presidential system of government, the legislative arm and the judiciary are independent. In 1997, Poland adopted a new constitution that has guaranteed the freedom in economic transactions for outsourcing companies. The laws governing the aviation industry include the air law Act of 3 rd May 2003 and the law by the infrastructure ministry of Poland of 6 th may 2006. Technological Factors R$D a
Article summary The article explores the issue of marriage in the United Arab Emirates. In addition, it discusses the critical issues of money and weddings in the region. In the UAE, marriage has become an expensive aspect of societal life that pushes many men to marry from other parts of the world. Men cannot afford to sustain wives from wealthy families. Therefore, they opt for women who are not accustomed to their culture and traditions. The article discusses these issues from different perspectives. It evaluates the evolution of wedding practices due to the discovery of oil. On the other hand, it explores public discourse with regard to marriage and wedding. Finally, it evaluates how these public discussions transformed the Emirati society. The author aims to show how the Emirati society has changed over the years by discussing changes in their wedding practices, and presenting the findings of interviews that involved different people. In addition, the author aims to demonstrate how unvoiced concerns contributed towards the rapid changes that have been observed within the Emirati society. Reaction to the article The author starts the article by describing the reason that motivates Emirati men to marry foreign women. She presents the issue of foreign marriages in a comprehensive manner by explaining why wealth is an important factor in Emirati marriages. The shift towards mixed marriages occurred after the discovery of oil in the UAE. Rich families started asking for high bride prices that many men could not afford (Bristol-Rhys, 2007). The author supports this claim with statistics from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The introduction of the article helps the reader to understand the topic in readiness for further discussion of other related issues. The author discusses the evolution of marriage by discussing the situation in days before the discovery of oil. In olden days, the mahr comprised cheap and affordable materials such as jewellery, food, household goods, and a small amount of money. It had a religious and an economic foundation. However, after the discovery of oil, families began to ask for large amounts of mahr that many men could not afford (Bristol-Rhys, 2007). To show how the changes transformed the society, the author discusses the era before the discovery of oil and how marriages were conducted. She explores the effect that the discovery of oil had on the society with regard to marriages and mahr . The author supports her claims using findings from interviews conducted on different people. According to the article, weddings have changed tremendously. The author describes a contemporary wedding to demonstrate the changes that have taken place. The author discusses this issue based on 26 weddings that she attended. Today, weddings have become vital social events in Emirati society. They take place in expensive establishments and involve both invited and uninvited guests. The author presents figures that show how expens
