...Tanner Pardue #16 Video 1 essay: Is it correct to say the evolution is just a theory? Is Gravity just a theory? Many people would argue about weather Evolution is a fact or theory. There are certain characteristics that make a theory a theory and a fact a fact. A theory is something that is thought to have happened or why something happens etc. but a theory is something that hasn’t been proven. When someone’s theory is proven it is considered a fact. So with knowing this I must agree that Evolution is just a theory because there is no complete proof or evidence to prove support or back up the theory of evolution. Therefore due to the definition of a fact and theory evolution must be a theory. Too me Gravity is not a theory. I believe this because gravity has laws; each law explains how gravity works. When these laws are tested in both environments with and without gravity the laws are proven to be true and work. Therefore due to the definition of a Fact in my personal opinion gravity would be a fact since the laws of it can be proven to be true. Video 2 essay: Why was Darwin considered to be a “revolutionary”? Charles Darwin is one of the most famous biologists in history. With a Theory called Natural selection he helped prove that biology makes since and how all species evolve to be designed how they are over time. As he studied the Galapagos Islands off South America he observed many different species of animals. He looked at how they reacted around each...

...Charles Darwin's revolutionary theory has changed the way we see society, ethics and religion. It has cause multiple problems within religion. What Darwin directly challenged was the view that God had originally created all species of plant and animal life, just as they exist today. The ongoing debate about the most valid perception of the world's origins has troubled both the scientific and religious communities, causing, in many cases, intense conflicts and misconceptions. The goal of the current academic essay is to investigate the compatibility between the scientific theory of evolution and the christian beliefs about the origin of human kind. I will also research the philosophical foundations of Christianity and Darwinism...

Home: 895-8559 (Please, no calls after 9 p.m.) REL. 222: Religions of the World Aim of the Course This course explores the religious dimension of human existence, by introducing students to eight of the world’s major religious traditions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The aim of the course (through readings, lectures, and discussions centered mainly on selections from each religion’s sacred scriptures) is to gain an appreciative understanding of the basic teachings and practices of the religions, as well as an insight into how they motivate and inspire their adherents. In a “survey” course such as this one, it is inevitable that breadth will be emphasized at the expense of depth. In an attempt to achieve at least some degree of depth, we will read one relatively short sacred text, Hinduism’s Bhagavad-Gita, in its entirety—a little bit each day, all throughout the course. Prerequisite There is no prerequisite for this course. Course Requirements 1. Class Participation (20% of final grade). There are two components to this requirement, each constituting approximately 10% of your final grade. a) Your oral contributions to our class discussions. Formal study questions will be provided for each...

...renewed attention because writers in English turned to writing in Filipino. Juan Laya, who uses to write in English, turned to Filipino because of the strict prohibitions of the Japanese regarding any writing in English. The weekly LIWAYWAY was placed under strict surveillance until it was managed by Japanese named Ishiwara. In other words, Filipino literature was given a break during this period. Many wrote plays, poems, short stories, etc. Topics and themes were often about life in the provinces. A. FILIPINO POETRY DURING THIS PERIOD The common theme of most poems during the Japanese occupation was nationalism, country, love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion and the arts. Three types of poems emerged during this period. They were: 1. Haiku –a poem of free verse that the Japanese like. It was made up of 17 syllables divided into three lines. The first line had 5 syllables, the second, 7 syllables, and the third, five. The Haiku is allegorical in meaning, is short and covers a wide scope in meaning. 2. Tanaga –like the Haiku, is short but it had measure and rhyme. Each line had 17 syllables and it’s also allegorical in meaning. 3. Karaniwang Anyo (Usual Form) –like those mentioned earlier in the beginning chapters of this book. B. FILIPINO DRAMA DURING THE JAPANESE PERIOD Many of the plays were reproductions of English plays to Tagalog. The translators were Francisco Soc Rodrigo, Alberto...

...ESSAY QUESTION; 1. Short Essay (1500-2000- words) Assessment 1 Students are required to submit a short essay that encompasses theory and examples to support the argument that: Sport and politics are inextricably linked. Intro This essay intends to discuss the mechanisms by which sports and politics are inextricably linked. To do so, the paper will focus on instances where politics/political relations have deeply implicated/penetrated/interfered the process/practice of sport. The core or main focal point of the essay will discuss the history behind the human rights violation made by South Africa’s apartheid policy/regime and their lofty suspension from the Olympic Games. The paper will go onto explore how this racial segregation policy impacted sport within the South African nation/community. A conclusion will follow which describes South Africa’s present stance in post-apartheid era and how sport contributed to the dismantling of the apartheid regime In order to begin, it is first necessary to define Human Rights clearly. The Officer of High Commissioner for Human Rights state that “Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.” http://www.ohchr.org/en/issues/Pages/WhatareHumanRights.aspx ...

Preface This isn’t really a teacher’s manual, not, at least, in the sense of a catechism of questions and correct answers and interpretations. Because the questions provided after each selection in Rereading America are meant to stimulate dialogue and debate — to generate rather than terminate discourse — they rarely lend themselves to a single appropriate response. So, while we’ll try to clarify what we had in mind when framing a few of the knottier questions, we won’t be offering you a list of “right” answers. Instead, regard this manual as your personal support group. Since the publication of the first edition, we’ve had the chance to learn from the experiences of hundreds of instructors nationwide, and we’d like to use this manual as a forum where we can share some of their concerns, suggestions, experiments, and hints. We’ll begin with a roundtable on issues you’ll probably want to address before you meet your class. In the first section of this manual, we’ll discuss approaches to...

...evolutionary theory?” as I have asked myself several times whilst conducting research for this essay. My conclusion is that it is, quite simply, a theory of evolution. The online Oxford Dictionary defines evolution as, “The gradual development of something.” (2012) The dictionary defines a theory as, “A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something…” Therefore, by using these two definitions, it can be said that a social evolutionary theory is a system of ideas intended to explain the gradual development of society. This question is vital in interpreting the purpose of this essay. The task at hand in completing this essay is to compare and contrast the social evolutionary theories of Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer. Before we analyze these theorist’s works, it is critical that we first look at the setting under which these men lived and worked. According to Ritzer (2011), Comte and Spencer both lived most of their lives during the 19th century. Comte lived from 1798 to 1857 while Spencer lived from 1820 to 1903. Comte and Spencer were from France and Britain respectively. The 18th and 19th centuries in Europe was characterized by widespread social change due to the Enlightenment period and the French Revolution. I think that this time period was the reason why social evolutionary theories were needed because of the extensive amount of change taking place in such a short time. There was a need for and a fascination with explanations and future predictions of this...

...Staffing is one of the most important things that an organization can do to bring success to the company. Without experienced manpower there are no completed tasks, or quality customer service. If a company hopes to hire qualified individuals, they must be aggressive, and plan a head in order to know the staffing needs of the organization. This paper will outline an effective and efficient staffing plan for Haircutters Barber Shop, including how to determine the numbers of barbers and beauticians to hire and a recruitment strategy to ensure appropriate candidates are hired. Recruiting in all industries is a numbers game as well as a game of networking and relationships. It is a dynamic and on-going process that must constantly be monitored and evaluated for its strengths and weaknesses (Cowan, 1992). Industry standards estimate that one needs to interview over 20 candidates to hire one employee (Cowan, 1992). Due to attrition and employee failure, a company must recruit at least 30 percent of the total number of existing employees every year to achieve an overall growth of 10 percent (Cowan, 1992). To use this formula as a basis for goal-setting, it is important to analyze the previous years' goals and results. If the goals were met or if they failed to achieve the objectives, it is crucial to examine the factors that came into play, whether they were economic trends or internal issues. This information should provide a solid plan to identify the most successful methods to seek...

...atheism from the last century, His literary and communication skills are definitely almost unprecedented winning a nobel prize for Literature. His influence and iconicness that stood the test of time and his literary works that are still being talked about years after his death is a proof of his undying influence. Despite the fact that he was agnostic and an atheist, he felt that he was not up to the pedestal of being a Christian because he thought he couldn’t live up to the righteous maxims of Christianity, he found the religion too hypocritical and its norms too uptight and self-righteous for his own sake. It was his contention that religion and its maxim’s purpose was to limit knowledge, especially to children and prevents their ability to think clearly by trapping them with norms and inhibiting them from cooperating with others whose views are different from theirs. He also believes that religion flourishes fear and dependency. He also asserted that religion caused war, oppression and misery that is happening right now. Issues: According to Russell, The character of Christ isn’t as divine as God because of the flaws in his teachings and to his followers. Russell attacks Christ’s divinity and characteristics and followers in attempt to debunk Christianity. And that the argument of design is unpersuasive because if God was omnipotent, why would he create such detrimental things such as the KKK and fascists. Russell asserts that God’s imperfections caused detrimental things...

I will review, present, and explain in this essay that in all companies, proper management of human resources is vital to being a successful business; human resources must be a critical department within the functional area of an organization. The basic purposes of this essay is to emphasis and culminate the principles of Human Resources Management by describing the application of the knowledge learned in the field of human resource management, with emphasis on six areas: EEO and Affirmative Action, Human Resources Planning, Recruitment, and Selection, Human Resources Development, Compensation and Benefits, Safety and Health, and Employee and Labor Relations. However, for this knowledge to be relevant, all these HRM areas need to be working together, and need to correspond with the overall business strategy, Dessler(2000).

...Chicago, Illinois November 22, 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Target Corporation has decided to expand their business to India. The study was authorized by the CEO of Target when all other crew of the company approved for expansion business to India. The CEO of Target Corporation requested an evidence to show the positive impact of expansion. Our conclusion that Target will have positive impact in India is based on scholarly articles, cultural books and research. In order to achieve success in India, the company will have to consider these aspects of the culture: * Social customs: Target needs to adapt various cultural, religion and taste preferences. * Family life: Big quantities will be sold much faster as the basic building block of Hindu society is the joint or extended family. * Religion and Folk belief: Religion has a huge impact on the daily life of almost everyone in India. Business have to holidays on holy festivals of India. * Economic Institutions: Employees must get paid a monthly salary. Target has to compete with “Kirana” stores that sell groceries and food to consumers at a low price. On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that Target needs to offer products not only at a lower price but with good customer service. Target Corporation has to avoid selling beef and pork in stores. Also, Target has to change their stores layouts while expanding its business all over India.

...assembly lines. Therefore, the use of Henry Ford in this book creates the allegory of the humans being mass produced from a single embryo, one to seventy at most, and are in assembly lines to determine whether they are alpha, gamma, beta, epsilon, and delta. Which brings the second topic, Huxley directly implies the caste system that is in today. The rich, the middle class, and the poor. Democracy did not exist in such world. Everyone was manipulated and stationed on someone’s free-will. In the book, Bernard Marx, who is the protagonist and psychologist in the book, is classified in the highest class of the society, Alpha. Alphas are rich in genetics and physical stature. Therefore, alpha’s are considered the tallest, but Bernard Marx is a bit short than the Alpha’s that he’s mistaken for one of the lowest class, Delta. As a result, his assertion of being an Alpha becomes doubtful and becomes a joke. The symbolism is implied in the real world today the norms expected by society. Alpha being the richest, Beta is the upper-middle, Gammas are the middle class, Delta is the upper-lowest, and the Epsilon being the lowest of the lows in the caste system. Alpha’s are intellectual...
