...Imperialism essay Imperialism is when a stronger country takes over the weaker countries for reasons such as for political, social or economic. Imperialism has been a major form in shaping the modern world. The effects of imperialism have been interpreted by many different views. The major imperialism occurred during the late 19th century and early 20th century, and had more negative effects in the modern world than the positive. One of its positive side is seen in document 4, where we can see that they were part of a modern culture and the colonial owners were responsible for providing security for a person and his or her land. They were also responsible for the opening of region to the lumberman, miner, and planter to the colony. After this occurred, they were considered part of a modern day culture. A negative effect is seen in document one where it says the white rulers live at the expense of the natives. Took their territory by force, and the most fertile land and minerals re owned by the whites. In this document you can see that the colonies did he work while the white man sat and watched. They had no freedom and had to sit in the mother country and work. Another negative effect is seen in document 2 when it said “civilization was nothing less than savagery”.in this quote you can see that the colonists make themselves superior to the blacks indicating that whatever the blacked do for civilization is savagery and that brought down their self-confidence.

(based on Business Ethics text Chapter 1; tied to course competencies 3 and 4) All four concepts (philosophy, morals, ethics, & values) seem to focus on the knowledge of positive and negative, but they do so in different ways.

Morals are one’s belief on what’s right (positive) or wrong (negative) based on the influence from society. Ethics is a systematic approach that focuses on one’s behavior to determine or predict the benefits (positive) or harmfulness (negative) to human beings. Values are one’s individual beliefs on what are an appropriate (positive) or inappropriate (negative) attitudes and actions in regards to things that are worthwhile or desirable in life. These concepts are important for modern day business managers because they are the life lines for all successful companies. The all have a positive or negative affect on a company’s productivity. If a company’s productivity is affected negatively, the success & survival of the company is put in great jeopardy.

It will then be followed by the study of Mildred Blaxter (1990). I will also be explaining the definition of the ‘sick role' which was introduced by Talcott Parsons, with its positive and negative effects on the society. Following by an explanation of the doctor-patient relationship with the theory of the functionalist approach by Barber (1963) and by also critically evaluating ways in which the medical profession exercises social control as well as their contribution to ill health and their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, I will analyse the key issues relating to the political economy of the health industry. Over the year's sociologist have tried to come up with a good definition of health, however, they were all elusive. According to the ‘World Health Organisations' (WHO) (1946), good health meant "Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" its definition was seen as a positive concept as it focused not only on being free from any diseases but it emphasised in a mixture of physical, mental, emotional and social well-being, this was seen to be so complete but yet unachievable. The negative concept of health is opposed to a positive concept of health, it was defined...

...Technology and Communication Paper University of Phoenix CJA/304 Mrs. Palmer August 10, 2011 Technology and Communication Paper Technology has helped enhance communication between others and has especially helped with communication in the criminal justice system. Technology has affected the communication capabilities of specialized databases in the criminal justice system in many different ways. Many forms of technology are used to help with communication such as mobile data terminals and iris scans in the criminal justice system. In this paper, this student will compare different types of specialized databases and will also discuss over positive and negative effects due to new technologies. Mobile data terminals are used in the criminal justice system as a form of specialized database to help with communication. “A mobile data terminal (MDT) is a computerized device used in public transit vehicles and emergency vehicles to communicate with a central dispatch office” (Versaterm, 2011).

...Modern Computer Systems are Detrimental to our Human Instincts Lenny Miller Post University Dependence on Modern Computer Systems is Detrimental to our Human Instincts With every year that passes, we are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. From the first punch card readers to the iphone 5, computers have had a profound and sustaining effect on humanity. Since computers were first used in the medical field in the early 1960’s, specifically in bio-engineering, the lifespan of the average American has gone up 9.6 years. Computers have essentially shrunk the size of the earth as we know it by aiding us in travel, navigation, communication, and networking. Long gone are the days of months-long voyages and correspondence by pen and paper, taken by ship or horseback. The amount of information made available by computers is vast and practically unending. For these reasons and more, it’s hard to discount the positive impact computers have had on society. However, over-looked in all the praise of computers is the fact that they have eroded our ability to function independently. From math abilities to social skills and the ability to navigate from point A to point B, the negative aspects of computers are starting to outweigh the benefits. Our dependence on modern computer systems is detrimental to our human instincts.

...The Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on Western society and the effects were numerous and mainly positive. The Industrial Revolution began in England in the 1790’s and spread throughout Europe and eventually to America. The extensive effects of the Industrial Revolution influenced almost every aspect of daily life and human society in some way. During this time period, widespread transportation such as railroads became available and important for the movement of goods and people. Also, new social reforms came about, dealing with critical issues including that of child labor. In addition, the effects of the revolution resulted in a great improvement in living standards for many people. Although the positive affects of the Industrial Revolution were plentiful, there were also several negative affects concerning the issues of railroads, child labor, and certain living conditions. The railroads built during the Industrial Revolution allowed for widespread transportation to now be available for goods and people. Consequently, the coal burned in train engines created great pollution resulting in an unhealthy and dangerous environment for the people. In addition, as European governments became involved with the creation of railroads, taxes increased resulting in the lower classes experiencing greater burdens. Despite these negative repercussions, railroads were beneficial to society in a variety of ways. Railroads created a way for people to quickly and easily move throughout...

...Derek Hackney Ms. Rizzo American Lit. Period 9 18 March 2010 Modern Slavery Human trafficking is a worldwide war. It has affected the lives of millions of people worldwide: some positive but mostly negative. The three points that are going to be discussed are the origin, modern day problems, and effects of the trafficking of humans. Slavery has never really ended it has only become more discrete and more organized. Human trafficking is basically modern day slavery. The origin of human trafficking can not be narrowed down to one specific country or continent. Many countries have been trafficking and there is no official place of origin. “Countries high on the list of “origin countries” are Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Lithuania, Nigeria, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Thailand and Ukraine, according to the report” (Aita). The main reason that human trafficking began was to generate profits in a quick and easy way. A few countries are places of origin as well as major regions for destination. “Africa, Asia, Central and South Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean are significant regions for both origin and destination” (Aita). There is no set time period for when trafficking began but it seems as if slavery has never ended. Human trafficking has created a global problem that has become more and more troublesome since it first began. The modern day problem of the trafficking of humans has become a global issue that needs to be resolved. UNODC Executive Director...

...The Negative and Positive Ecological Impacts of Technology Introduction In today's society more people are working longer hours and utilizing more technology in their everyday life. As a result of these longer hours and increased use of technology, more energy is being consumed. (Hayden and Shandra 575) The impact that this is having on the environment is substantial in both negative and positive ways. It is hard to deny the benefits modern technology has produced for the world, in industry and in everyday life. With more and more technological breakthroughs, there have been many positive ecological impacts. However, it is also hard to deny that there are considerable negative impacts as well. Supporters of a work reduction scheme maintain that the reduction in hours will have a positive effect on the environment and the raw materials that are used on a daily basis. (Hayden and Shandra 576) Though the argument that a reduction in hours will result in a better quality of life is largely agreed upon, the theory that a reduction in hours will reduce the negative impacts on the environment is still one of contention as there is no concrete evidence to back it up. (Hayden and Shandra 576) To counter this theory, there are those who argue that a reduction in hours will not result in a redution in damage to the environment. Each year, technology is making advances in producing low energy products that will reduce the damage to the environment. It is argued that with these advances...
