...traditional trade has evolved to a new global platform and some of economic system like capitalism came into prominence. According to Cambridge Dictionary, capitalism is a political and economic system in which a country’s trade is controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. With this system, the numbers of producer increased because of the private owners. Until the last few decades, it seems beneficial and useful breakthrough for humanity but today, increasingly people criticize this system. While Peter Saunders in his article “Why Capitalism Is Good for the Soul” defends that capitalism provide a profitable result for us; Clive Hamilton in his books “Grown Fetish” and “Affluenza”, Annie Leonard in her video “The Story of Stuff” and Tim Kasser in his book “The High Price of Capitalism” claim that capitalism has damaged people in some ways. Although some people argue consumerism provides an easy life and a better world; it actually makes people materialistic and dissatisfied with life, kills people’s free time and damages the plane. With capitalism, people become materialistic and dissatisfied with life. They become addicted to money and their possessions. Preoccupation with money has invaded every piece of people’s life and people have become too materialistic. However, being materialistic doesn’t make people happy and dissatisfied with life. Today, people no longer care about moral value and norms but only themselves and their pocket. Moreover, when people with...

...Laboratory Exercise Osmosis and Diffusion “Osmosis and the Incredible, very Inedible Egg” **This is a fun thing to have your kids or significant other help with. Please note that this experiment takes several days to complete, so don't wait until the last minute to start!** I. Background: Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. This is how water gets into and out of our cells. In this lab we will investigate the effects of different solutions on the water content of an egg. An egg will serve as our model of a cell. A. Remember, when comparing 2 solutions, the one with the greatest amount of stuff dissolved in it is called hypertonic while the one with the lesser amount of stuff dissolved in it is called hypotonic. Please get these terms straight in your mind before you start the experiment. B. Therefore, hypertonic solutions have less percentage of water in them than hypotonic solutions. Water, like everything else, moves from a greater concentration of itself to a lesser concentration of itself. C. In this experiment you will observe the movement of water into and out of an egg. To do this we will remove the minerals from the egg shell leaving only a membrane that is permeable to water. II. Supplies needed: 3 eggs 4 drinking glasses or clear containers Vinegar (about 2 cups) Foil or plastic wrap White Karo syrup (or any brand like it) Distilled water (actually...

...presidents who grew up with single mothers, or comparing three emerging teen leaders in Asia would be interesting topics. Try your best to stay away from movie stars, singers, or other pop starts unless they became politically active or took on leadership roles that went beyond entertainment. It is too difficult to sift through tabloid articles and the final papers will suffer because of this. Please include the following sections in your paper: Introduction of the leader Here you will introduce your topic and explain why your think it is important. You need to convince any reader of your paper that it is worth his/her time to read your paper. It always helps to have a statement such as, “ This paper will cover….” in this section. How and what did this person lead? Discuss books and articles about your leader. This is an important section because you are providing evidence that other writers have taken interest in this person. Readers of you paper want some background on your leader because not...

...Olivia Weston is the temporary house mother at Belhala’s Mission School and she has been characterized as a compassionate young lady who wants to make a difference to the children’s lives. We know this due to the way she thinks and behaves. In her visit to Colva Prison, she explains how she “fell in love” with the Belhala children and the “eyes looking at me, and the smiles” (p.78). Using these two quotes we can infer Olivia has deep feelings of friendship for the boys, which is a fantastic example of the theme of friendship in the text. She also says another fantastic quote to support the theme: “the mountains of trash, and the children… is a thing to change your life” (p.78). Through this quote, we can see that the author has used reader positioning to show Olivia’s friendship. For example, Olivia’s thoughts position the reader to understand the depth of her affection for the Belhala children and her desire to care, love and connect with them. Her Friendly nature is also shown through her behavior when she helps the boys...

...Zaroff was roaming the streets of Bath after his successful hunting trip looking for a place to stay. The hotel he was previously staying in would not allow him to take in any game, be it dead or alive, no matter how many times he insisted that they would regret not housing the incredible General Zaroff. Then when the hotel threatened to call the police, the General decided to leave. Besides, who would want to stay at a place that holds no value to the hunt, Zaroff thought to himself. Exasperated by the hotel’s ignorance, he decided to find another place to stay. “What must a man do to get a decent place to stay these days?” The General sighed, “The only other place that I could stay in is a bar filled with narrow minded commoners who could...

I found his presentation interesting because he went over all of the steps that he uses to investigate arson. I was not well educated at all about arson before I met Marty. He taught us a lot and I appreciated it. Kevin Hogan was a guest speaker on probation. I found his presentation interesting because he told us all about probation. I myself have Kovaleski 2 known people on probation and they usually say it sucks. I never really knew what the rules and regulations of probation were though. Probation seems like a rough thing to deal with. I would not want to ever put myself in the position where I would need to be put on probation. He made it clear how much it does “suck”. He also had some really funny stories about people on probation as well that I enjoyed hearing. Sgt. Ferranti and his dog were one of my favorites. I loved seeing what a strong relationship the dog and Sgt Ferranti had. It showed that besides them being partners they were also like friends. The dog was very obedient and Sgt. Really knew the commands for him. It was amazing to see how easily the dog could pick up the smell of drugs as well. The only thing I wish we could’ve seen was the dog’s “bite” but I enjoyed watching the dog and...

...and was in a weakened state. He told her that she was missing too much work. He said he would give her a good grade and protect her from his other colleagues; if she would be his “girlfriend,” move in with him, etc. Every day after class she had to go out with him. She would be fondled at school, kissed on the head when he was leaving for appointments. He would rub her back, touch her in certain places, show her his private parts telling her he was now taking Viagra and this is what she did to him. Now they are saying it was all consensual because she had written emails responding to his and/or stuff he would ask her about during class. They cancelled the mediation, offered to pay her until the end of the month if she would sign a release! But she wouldn’t. How can they use emails against her? Everyone knows they can be altered. How can she prove that whatever she said and did she had to, or she wouldn’t get a good grades in class, Why is she again the victim? Kristine is so stressed out.

...Wrenches and crowbars can be used as thrown weapons, as well as to tamper with fittings and valves. Flipped coins send guards obediently into corners, while rat poison can taint drinks and send people puking alone to the toilet. (Although, if I’m honest that last one feels a little OP currently as it’s so guaranteed to work.) At this point I haven’t even mentioned the extra stuff - menus full of challenges that unlock new equipment, the ability to stash things in the level for later retrieval, or even start somewhere already undercover - in the kitchen as a chef, for instance. There are also Contracts - user made kills set up by players taking out any NPC and challenging you to match it - and Elusive Targets - victims that only appear for a limited time and can only be killed once. It has a few issues, like weirdly unpredictable frame rates. It actually speeds up in places, although there is the option to lock it down. It’s connected nature is also a little confusing. You can play it either on or offline but the two don’t join up, and I was kicked out of a playthrough once because my internet went...

...Christian Hufford Ethical Issues in Business Business Ethics BA 338 Business Ethics Unit 4 Individual Project August 5, 2014 Professor Loschiavo Pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes share many similar characteristics in which unsuspecting individuals are fooled by unscrupulous investors who promise extraordinary returns. However, in contrast to a regular investment, these types of schemes can offer consistent “profits” only as long as the number of investors continues to increase. Ponzi and pyramid schemes are self-sustaining as long as cash outflows can be matched by monetary inflows. The basic difference a rises in the type of products that schemers offer their clients and the structure of the two ploys. Ponzi schemes are based on fraudulent investment management services- basically investors contribute money to the “portfolio manager” who promises them a high return, and then when those investors want their money back they are paid out with the incoming funds contributed by later investors. The person organizing this type of fraud is in charge of controlling the entire operation; they merely transfer funds from one client to another and forgo any real investment activities. On the other hand, a pyramid scheme is structured so that the initial schemer must recruit other investors who will continue to recruit other investors and those investors will then continue to recruit additional investors and so on. Sometimes there will be an incentive that is presented as an...

...A common cause for inadequate defenses is simply lawyers who fail to do their jobs. The previously mentioned marine was wrongfully convicted because his defense attorney "did not promptly investigate, seek or interview potential alibi witnesses or pursue any alibi evidence because he believed that the case would never come to trial"("Marine's Rape Conviction Voided..." 2). This example demonstrates that some attorneys simply do not do their duty to adequately defend their client. Common types of inadequate defenses are "defense lawyers who: failed to present defense witnesses (often to establish/confirm an alibi); failed to seek DNA testing or have serology testing done to try to exclude the client: failed to object to prosecutor argument or to evidence introduced by the state: and failed to interview witnesses in preparation for the trial or cross examine state witnesses"(West 4). Also, some less often reported complaints against lawyers include, "failure to investigate, failure to object to an ID, and failure to present expert testimony” (West 4). These failures on behalf of attorneys can be devastating to the defense’s case, such failures would certainly mean conviction for the defendant no matter the fact if (s)he is innocent or not. To summarize, the issue is defense lawyers who either fail to, or chose not...

...Describing Digital Signatures By Chris LeDoux Digital signatures are electronic signatures used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and also possibly to insure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged. Digital signatures are extremely convenient. They are easily transportable, cannot be imitated by an unwanted third party, and are often automatically time-stamped. The sender cannot easily deny the signature later due to the ability of digital signatures to insure that the original signed message arrived as sent. Digital signatures can be utilized with literally any type of message, whether it be encrypted or not, so the receiver can be sure of the sender's identity and that the message arrived n the same exact form as sent. Digital signatures are not to be confused with a digital certificate. A digital certificate contains the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that anyone can verify that the certificate is real. If a person or company was going to send the draft of a contract to a lawyer in another town, that person would want to give that lawyer the assurance that the message was unchanged from the way it was sent and that it did indeed come from the company person allegedly sending it. The first step would be to copy-and-paste the contract, assuming it is not 100 pages long) into an e-mail note. By then utilizing unique software, the company would...

Introduction The modernization of technology has been a major source of change in every human being’s daily life in this world. The society today is no longer incorporated with the past traditions and the variety of choices people have gained with modern technology are simply limitless. It has total efficiency, mobility, and accuracy. But the modernization of technology also has its disadvantages to society. The modernization of technology - particularly computers and internet are becoming one of people’s necessities and some people couldn’t just live without it. As defined by the internet article The Positive and Negative Effects of Computers, computers are very useful these days. If people need answers to their questions, just type what it is, and the computer will give the answer right away. It made people’s lives easier and convenient. It really changed the way people live. But of course, computers and internet also have its flaws or disadvantages especially to the students.

So instead, the researchers hope that computers will help people to be advanced, developed and help them grow. Students were mentioned...

...“O”, and the last paragraph will cover the letter “T” to complete the SWOT analysis. This paragraph will cover the “S” that means strengths. The biggest strength I gathered from this company is that the owners have thirty years of experience between both of them. In communicating with some of my car enthusiast friends they all asked were, “How many years of experience does this company have in the automotive industry?” That in its own will increase sales and create a repeat business for this company. In the Jones’ business plan you can tell that they have done their research and personally received agreements from local and wholesale distributors. The fact that you will be able to provide the customer with a part or a service will be greatly beneficial for this company. The fact that they are starting their business as a husband and wife team will also lower the cost starting out having to pay employees. This paragraph will cover the “W” that means weakness. The biggest weakness I believe this company will have is a customer base for novice or entry level racers. I have found over the years that no matter how novice you are that the friends you meet will always assist you in getting the best parts for your car. Personally, I always have shopped at the same website or store that a friend of mine bought parts for their car. The only...
