...In this report, we discuss the following sentiment: > Privacy in a world of online social networks is an old-fashioned concept and young people feel less need to protect their privacy. This statement implies that young people do not care about their privacy, and do not act to protect their privacy, at least not as much as their elders. # Privacy Paradox The discussed sentiment is known as the privacy paradox. The study that coined this term makes the claim that "Adults are concerned about invasion of privacy, while teens freely give up personal information." The study claims that young people post too much of their private information in public spaces like Facebook and MySpace. This sentiment was not exclusive to adults either. According...

...The Shale Gas Revolution in the U.S. - Aspect of Domestic Market - Prepared for Microeconomics May 6, 2014 "The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we’ve been in decades," Obama said during his fifth State of the Union speech on January 2014. In a fact sheet accompanying the speech, the White House called on Congress to establish "sustainable shale gas growth zones." As mentioned by the U.S. president Obama, “The Shale Gas Revolution” is hot topic in the energy industry recently. Previously, the U.S. has imported large amounts of natural gas from other countries, but now it is expected to be an exporter of natural gas because of shale gas production. (Reference: Annual Energy Outlook 2011, May, 2011) Exporting shale gas would bring economic benefits. Gross Domestic Product can be increased, employment on LNG supply chain would be increased, and there will be no import of LNG anymore. Nevertheless, there is some limitation which will not favor to domestic LNG market. For exporting the shale gas, there are many researches to determine the associated costs. The price U.S. LNG exporters can afford to charge can be separated into the following components. Price = Wellhead price + Pipeline + Liquefaction + Shipping + Regasification Based on the above formula, experts’ estimate that the minimum price the U.S. and afford to export LNG to Asia, mainly Japan and Korea...

...A Pew Research Center study has shown that many first generations who assimilate the American culture are more influenced by those around them, consequently, there is an inclination towards crime (Morin, 2013). On the other hand, first generation college students are head-to-head against other students whose family have attended college; first generations are in debt, in addition to coming from a low-income family. Moreover, first generations should not be entitled to little-to-none advantages due to their background but should be evaluated on their work ethics. The government, authority, and society must focus on these issues of racial discrimination, injustice, and prejudice, especially during this period of time. In 2016, immigrants and their American-born children made up 27% of the U.S. population (Zong & Batalova, 2017). The government and those with authority must amend these issue by taking action abroad and regulating areas where potential dangers are high alert, in order to prevent any harm in the community. Conditionally...

...#what is social networking? Social Networking - perhaps you've heard of it before, but are not quite sure what it means. Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighbourhood subdivision, if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand informationand experiences about any number of topics . . . from golfing,gardening, developing friendships andprofessional alliances. A broad class of web sites and services that allow you to connect with friends, family, and colleague's online, as well as meet people with similar interests or hobbies. When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, or politics. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them. The friends that you can make are just one of the many benefits to social networking...

...College men’s alcohol use is related to both power and powerlessness. Many men choose to drink in order to be sociable and fit into a place of perceived social power within their friend groups (p. 307). Based on Capraro’s research, college men’s alcohol use is also influenced by the fact that heavy drinking can make them feel more strong and assertive (p. 310). This once again shows their motives to conform to traditional masculinity and achieve the social power within the ranks of college groups (p. 310). Yet at the same time, many men drink as a form of “escapism or to get drunk,” showing their desire to become powerless through alcohol use (p. 308). Even if a man is drinking to appear masculine and become socially empowered in the eyes of other people, they individually feel powerless and numb the stress of conforming to college masculine culture (p. 310). Thus, we have the paradox of power and powerlessness....

...The Physics of a Bow and Arrow A bow and arrow operates on certain principle of physics. I will be investigating what factors affect the accuracy of a bow and arrow. Figure 1 - The change in the shape of the bow as the archer draws it. Figure 1 - The change in the shape of the bow as the archer draws it. A bow is a basic machine called a “two-arm spring”. Energy is stored when the archer bends the bow. It may look like the string is being stretched, however, it is not stretched but the shape of the bow is changed. The stored energy is then transferred to the arrow in the form of kinetic energy. The greater the draw length, the greater the momentum and energy that the arrow gains. A longer draw length will influence your accuracy. You, as an individual, need to find the draw length that you are most comfortable with. With your own unique draw length you need to have an anchor point. This point is the place where your hand will be every time you shoot an arrow. This will greatly improve the accuracy of the shot. Figure 2 - Correct form to shoot an arrow Figure 2 - Correct form to shoot an arrow In archery your form is very important. If you do not have the correct form then you will not be able to shoot properly and you might hurt yourself. In Figure 2 (left) we can see the correct form when shooting an arrow. Old military snipers used a technique they called B.R.A.S. Breathe. If you are do not breathe then you will not be able to focus clearly on where you are...

...Consequently, because legacies and athletes take up about 23% of admitted students at Dartmouth, about 500 possibly more qualified students, who do not have any special recruitment tages, are being denied or waitlisted. In a school like Dartmouth or Stanford, where 5% of 42,000 applicants are accepted and 74% of applicants have above a 30 on the ACT, colleges should not be lowering their standards to include students with lower grades lower than the majority of applicants simply because they have a “recruiting tag.” (CITE). Ultimately, because colleges are admitting less qualified students who are meant to increase diversity, athletic success, or the alumi system, possibly exceptional students are being denied, demonstrating one major flaw within the admissions...

...of the strategy. FedEx Strategy at the Business Level Federal Express’ clients ranged from large scale business to individual customers that required a wide range of services. As such, Federal Express needed to find a way to meet the needs of the various groups of customers that it provided services to. By streamlining its operations and by integrating its various systems, the company was able to develop a customer logistics management segment of its business to cater especially to its large-scale business clients that required such service (Conley et al, 2000). This included providing warehousing and distribution services that cut the costs for its business customers. Such strategy demonstrates the company’s way of dealing with the paradox of market adaptation and resource leveraging. Having identified the needs of its clientele, FedEx used the extensive resource base it had in order to meet these needs. Since the company had established a logistics infrastructure, it merely put to good use the resources it already had. Federal Express understood the value of information for all its clients. As such, it continuously searched for various ways to improve the transfer of...

...Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 29, Number 3—Summer 2015—Pages 3–30 Why Are There Still So Many Jobs? The History and Future of Workplace Automation† David H. Autor T here have been periodic warnings in the last two centuries that automation and new technology were going to wipe out large numbers of middle class jobs. The best-known early example is the Luddite movement of the early 19th century, in which a group of English textile artisans protested the automation of textile production by seeking to destroy some of the machines. A lesser-known but more recent example is the concern over “The Automation Jobless,” as they were called in the title of a TIME magazine story of February 24, 1961: The number of jobs lost to more efficient machines is only part of the problem. What worries many job experts more is that automation may prevent the economy from creating enough new jobs. . . . Throughout industry, the trend has been to bigger production with a smaller work force. . . . Many of the losses in factory jobs have been countered by an increase in the service industries or in office jobs. But automation is beginning to move in and eliminate office jobs too. . . . In the past, new industries hired far more people than those they put out of business. But this is not true of many of today’s new industries. . . . Today’s new industries have comparatively few jobs for the unskilled or semiskilled, just the class of workers whose jobs are being eliminated...
