...The Economic Impacts of Running a Casino Jin Zhang V00772600 Mar 3, 2013 Abstract Over the past years casino has increase the impact on society, it seems that has been providing benefits to society, but is also brings much more negative effects. Casino decreases the income of local business. As many people know gambling is a bad habit just like drug use that can increase crime rate. No one can afford the harm that affects us. The use of casino can be very dangerous to the society and harmful to the economics if we are more aware of it, being caution about the negative effects of casino can increase the quality of social cost. Keywords: social cost, local business, crime rate The casino industry is a popular entertainment field in recent years, it is becoming worldwide. It has become a tourist attraction to many places, and has a great impact in our society. Casinos can be used for money sources, job opportunities, charities, and community growth, but we must not look only at the surface of things. (Tourism Management 2010, para.4) Research shows that casino bans will make society better off, casino industries in countries leads me to argue that casino is a local business killer, casino increase crime rate, and casino became the breakdown of social order. In “Residents’ perception of casino impacts: A comparative study,” Lee, Kang, Long, and Reisinger (2010). Casinos are local business killers...

...Annecia Analyse the impact of the Dumas on Russian society The announcement of the Dumas brought hopes that it would bring democracy to Russia, but the reality of it was that of the two chambers the Dumas had only on was elected by the Russian people. This meant that the Russian government still had significantly more say in the way Russia was ruled and they had effectively created a smoke screen hiding the fact that democracy was nowhere near being achieved in Russia. The second chamber was appointed by the Tsar and held a veto over any actions. In addition, the Tsar retained ‘Supreme Autocratic Power’, in effect, the Duma was neutered right from the start. Consequently making it hard for the Dumas to be seen as having a positive and significant impact on Russian Society. The first Duma was dissolved after two months when the government felt that the Duma complained too much and was intractable. For this Duma arguably the only impact they had on Russian society was to show that the Russian government was in no way ready to compromise and create a more democratic Russia. This is again reinforced by the fact that the second Duma only lasted from February to June 1917, and because of the actions of Kadet liberals shortly before, the election was dominated by extremely anti-government factions. Similar to the first, when this Duma opposed Stolypin’s reforms it too was dissolved again showing that in no way did the implementation of Dumas mean the democratisation of Russia. Despite...

Mother Against Drunk Driving has changed the laws regarding drinking and driving throughout the United States. MADD changed the legal age for drinking and purchasing alcohol. MADD has made the laws stricter; including more fines and punishment for breaking the laws. MADD has become one of the nation’s largest agencies to help improve assistance for families that have lost loved ones to drunk drivers. The organization has made historical changes in laws and legislature. MADD, Impact on Social Policy Mothers Against Drunk Drivers has made a significant impact on our society today by bringing changes in our drinking and driving laws. MADD, more commonly referred to, has implemented a change in drinking age and mandated strict laws for people who break these laws. From a simple outcry by the founder of MADD, this organization has grown to service millions. MADD was originally founded by Candy Lightner in 1980 after her 13 year old daughter, Cari was struck from behind and killed by a drunk driver. The driver had three previous drunk driving violations and had been involved in a hit-and-run accident and arrest two days before the incident involving Cari. One of the most effective leaders was Rebecca (Beckie) Brown from New Port, Florida. Rebecca became involved in MADD after her son Marcus...

...EXPOSITORY ESSAY NAMES AND THEIR IMPACT TO THE SOCIETY How my two names came to be are solely my parents’ property rights, for if I only had spoken just a minute after birth, or if children be allowed to choose names by themselves, then I would have chosen a strange name like no other. It is because there are impacts of names to society which seem to be irreversible and critical. According to my father, “Errol” was derived from Errol Flynn, an Australian-born American Actor during the 1930’s, who was known for his handsome, romantic swashbuckling roles in Hollywood films like Captain Blood (1935), The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), and The Sea Hawk (1940) and for playing American Heroes such as Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer in They Died with Their Boots On (1942). He was also known for his playboy lifestyle which ruined his career. The second name “Wynstan” was my father’s discretion. He read Barbara Cartland’s “No Time For Love,” where Wynstan played the good-looking and well-mannered guy who took courage to find and woo Larina Milton, the girlfriend of his elder brother who died of cancer. My first names are a destined identity. I shall carry that name in all transactions, wherever I go, whatever I do, for better such as Doctor Errol, Professor Errol, Attorney Errol or for worst, WANTED: ERROL with one million cash above my head for being a serial killer, or...

...the Pony Express of early America, fax machines of the 90s to today’s ever-present internet connection, humankind has relied on the technology of the times to communicate. When members of a society cannot communicate with one another, breakdowns occur and the society is at risk of collapse. The impact communication technology is having on the world at large can be felt at every level of society: from education to social activism, communication technology is making it possible for anyone anywhere in the world to make an impact. While technology has brought about great change and made the seemingly impossible possible; the role that technology plays in society has its detractors. Humanity does not always accept the novel. Change is always greeted with suspicion and society can be slow to shift its paradigm. Today, no one can deny the power of having a literate society. Literacy rates are at an all-time global high. Any student who went to school in the 20th century studied using tomes of paper bound together in the relic known as textbooks. Textbooks were not handwritten, as was the norm prior to the invention of the printing press. Rather, they were mass-produced so that anyone in the school system could have access to educational materials. Mass-produced printed material has allowed society to become more literate, which in turn has helped the global economy. However, when the printing press was invented in the 15th century, it was not heralded as a hero. Rather, it has been credited...

...11/29/15 John Kalafatic Mr. Chapman The Impact of Technology on Society The Internet is the decisive technology of the Information Age, and with the introduction of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, it is possible that humankind is now almost entirely connected, albeit with great levels of inequality in bandwidth, efficiency, and price. People, companies, and institutions feel the depth of this technological change, but the speed f the transformation has triggered all manner of good and bad perceptions that, when examined closely through research turn out not to be accurate. For instance, media often report that excessive use of the Internet increases the risk of isolation, alienation, and withdrawal from society, but available evidence shows that the Internet neither isolates people nor reduces their sociability; it actually increases sociability, civic engagement, and the intensity of family and friendship relationships, in all cultures. Our current “network society” is a product of the digital revolution and some major social changes. ne of these is the rise of the “Me-centered society,” marked by an increased focus on individual growth and a decline in community understood in terms of space, work, family etc. However, individuation does not mean isolation, or the end of community. Rather, social relationships are being reconstructed on the basis of individual interests, values, and projects. Communities are formed with individuals common...

...Components of two meals: Breakfast: Coffee Creamer Mixed green salad Pico de gallo Cheese spicy guacamole Dressing Lunch: Chicken enchilada soup (homemade), ingredients include chicken, diced tomatoes, black beans, onions, green pepper, various spices, cheese Club crackers The brand of coffee that I use does not state on each label which country their beans come from. Instead, they list on their web site the countries where they grow or acquire their coffee beans. These countries include South and Central America, Indonesia, Africa, the Caribbean, and in the USA, Hawaii (Millstone.com, n.d.). The salad greens we use are packaged by Dole. The package does not state that these greens came from outside the United States, so they are produce from some place within the United States. The pico de gallo we use is a premade selection that is prepare in the United States. The spicy guacamole brand that we use is made in Mexico and shipped into the United States. The dressing we use is prepared in the United States, but it does have some ingredients that could be from outside the United States. However, the labeling on the package does not state the origin of all the ingredients. The chicken in our soup is local chicken. There are numerous chicken houses in our area that raise both layers and roasters, so most of the chicken we purchase is locally raised. The tomatoes, onions, and green pepper were purchased at a local farmer's market during the season for these vegetables...

...Media has continuously pervaded and defined society and has advanced with technology. The traditional forms of media propagation including television, newspapers, posters and mail remain as efficient as before the introduction of newer methods. Email, websites, e-zines and social online media have replaced expensive media production such as magazines and photographic paper. Media imparts and shapes society’s opinion on the subjects of politics, business, culture and sports. It reflects on the freedom of speech and freedom of expression within a country. The positive aspects of free media far outweigh the negative effects that may occur. In the case of internet based media, control is difficult. Control of the Internet has however been imposed in China. Media has the ability to bring relief to disaster prone areas while at the same time it may be responsible for nurturing prejudice against certain regions. For example, the perception that Africa is an extremely underdeveloped region although it is actually bustling with megacities. In the world of social media, gossip columns have the potential to ruin lives of individuals or boost their popularity. Advertising through modern media has led to the rise of fortune 500 companies. It has been argued that media has resulted in a generation of couch potatoes who rarely engage in outdoor activities. It has become rarer to find someone who has good handwriting since typing is now the preferred skill. Conversely, media has brought...

...These ideas had continuing effects on modern Western medicine and thought. Ancient Arab thoughts on medicine, surgery, and psychology have had a lasting impact on Western medicine today. Avicenna was at the forefront of medical and scientific thought during the 10th Century. Avicenna, or Ibn Sina, was born in 980 CE to a father of high intellectual standing. Sina himself was extremely intelligent, and soon found a passion for medicine. At the age of 18, he cured a local royal of a serious sickness, earning him an elite reputation. He worked mostly at a traveling physician, only settling down in the years before his death in 1037. Avicenna’s most famous work was The Canon of Medicine, a multi-book series on everything pertaining to medicine and disease treatment. This work was imperative to the development of medical and scientific thought in both Islamic and Western cultures. (Sizgorich,...

...Humans live in a world where geographic boundaries cease to exist when it comes to goods, services, and even food. Most people think nothing of having freshly squeezed orange juice or kiwis for breakfast, even those who live in New York City with 10-inches of snow on the ground in the middle of January. In this age and time everything and anything is available for consumption year-round at the local grocery store. Although it may be an “unintended consequence,” these conveniences can come with potentially major ecological and economic impacts that are both positive and negative. For example, the coffee you drink may come from beans imported from Columbia, the sugar you use may come from India, or the steaks you sear on the grill may have come from Argentina. How much fuel was spent transporting these products across the ocean? Were any pesticides used? If so, was it done in a sustainable fashion? Were forests cleared to make room for grazing herds or larger agricultural fields? These are just a few of the many questions that should be considered when making selections at the grocery store. Explore the following resources in the Kaplan Library, along with the link from the United States Department of Agriculture, to learn more about the foods humans rely on and the variety of ways in which these foods can be acquired.

...The Impact of Drugs on Individual Society The Impact of Drugs on Individual Society As the nation grows, so does the impact of drugs within society. Social and cultural factors have helped to influence the supply and demand of drugs. In some social circles, drugs have had a major influence over behaviors, choices, and attitudes. Everyday stressors, such as work and family life, can help to increase drug usage. Individuals, who use drugs, believe that escaping their daily problems of life. The impact that drugs have had on individual society has been negative because it has increased criminal activities, health issues, addictions, and overcrowded the criminal justice system. Even though many organizations and groups have stepped forward to start anti-drug groups and have encouraged members of society to become drug free, the process has been slow. Throughout life, there will continue to be individuals who will always struggle with their interpersonal conflicts and think that using drugs is a way to solve their problems. There are ongoing studies and methods of research that view the perspectives of drug usage and its effect on society. Some people even feel that if drugs are legalized, then they would become less desirable. Actually, an addict will only stop once they feel that they had a need to do so. Drugs, within society, possess the thoughts of the addict and continue to allow for them to not realize their problem until it is too late. Society realizes...

...Seasonal Influenza and Impact on Society Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious illness caused by influenza viruses (influenza virus A, B and C) that affects the respiratory system. The illness can be moderate to severe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2015), five to 20 percent of the population in the United States contracts the flu each year and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized due to complications caused by the illness. The CDC also reports that between 1976 and 2006 flu-related deaths have ranged from 3,000 to nearly 50,000. Individuals more susceptible to flu-related complications include children, older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems. Classification of Influenza Seasonal Influenza, along with other types of influenza, is a primary disease. A primary disease is defined as acute onset of a disease or illness that is not associated with a previous injury or disease (primary-disease, 2015). This information is consistent with information available from the CDC as the agency states that the flu, most often, comes on suddenly and without warning. Any complication one may experience due to contracting influenza would be considered a secondary disease. Symptoms consistent with the acute onset of influenza include but are not limited to body aches, fever, chills, sore throat and headaches. People who are experiencing these symptoms are encouraged to see their respective primary care doctor or health...

Technology has become mobile enough through smartphones and tablets that accessing the Internet and other applications instantly have become the norm. As these conveniences become expected by society there will be positive and negative impacts on the individual users.

The launch of handheld, mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets allow users to have instant access to these conveniences from anywhere. Though conveniences are often thought to have a positive impact on an individual’s life, sometimes they can take away essential skills or processes in everyday life that can be beneficial if the technology fails. Mobile technology obviously has its positives, if it didn’t it’s popularity would not be increasing as rapidly as it is. Technology in general helps to keep people better organized. Mobile technology can take it a step further in the fact that the user’s information will always be available to view or update. Advancing technology also offers the ability to sync all devices together so that the users information can be typed into one electronic and transferred to all the others.
