...Bangladesh over a period of 10 days started from 1st December, 2012 to 10th December, 2010. The main objective of this study is to describe what the condition of feminism in Bangladesh and what is the thinking of our varsity girl about feminism. Total 21 respondents were selected based on age class of 18-22. Feminism is a belief in the right of women to have political, social, and economic equality with men. It is a discourse that involves various movements, theories, and philosophies which are concerned with the issue of gender difference, advocate equality for women, and campaign for women’s rights and interests. According to some, the history of feminism can be divided into three waves. The first wave was in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the second was in the 1960s and 1970s and the third extends from the 1990s to the present. Feminist theory emerged from these feminist movements. It is manifest in a variety of disciplines such as feminist geography, feminist history and feminist literary criticism. Although feminism has emerged in nineteenth in the world, it is yet unknown to women of our country. The concept of feminism in Bangladesh has been rising since last 20th years and women got some equal right such as voting right, politics right, education right, job right, decision making right, child raring right etc. But, they got some right constitutionally, not practically yet. But, it is hopeful that we will be able to establish equal right within next 20th year...

... there is a social movement which tried to change this belief, including the condition of the inequality between men and women. This social movement is called feminism. This social phenomenon began, in 19th century, in the western side of the world, because women didn’t accept the original culture, their role in society, the inequality of gender, and the oppression of men. However, this contradiction in terms of gender has been argued up to the beginning of 20th century. Feminism has rapidly grown since the last forty years of 20th century. People become awakened to study about women in several measurements, especially in the study of the relationship between men and women, by using the idea of gender to be the equipment of the analysis. The inconsistency of gender causes the movement which people demand the equality between men and women. Moreover, there are many studies, explanations and ideas about the secondary status of women in many terms, in the last for decades. Almost explanations and ideas of feminism develop from main...

...and describe four distinct periods of time which he referred to as 'waves of terrorism'. (Rapoport 2004 :46 -47) These waves are used as markers through which an understanding can be gleaned of how terrorism goes through changes or cycles. This paper will identify the four waves of terrorism as set out by Rapoport and define the characteristics of each wave. Terrorism has many and varied definitions and yet all are consistent in identifying it as an act of violence used to gain influence for a cause or an ideological belief. (Mannik 2009: 152 - 153) Most acts of violence are deliberate, targeted and serve a purpose for the groups goals.(Kydd & Walters 2006: 49-50) In this sense waves of terrorism, then, can be seen as a type of revolution where there is an uprising against the political state of the time. (Rapoport 2004: 49 -50) Whilst terrorism has existed throughout history and has employed violent methods to achieve their aims and objectives it can also be seen that terrorism follows distinct patterns. These patterns occur in cycles which were identified by Rapoport (2004) and are referred to as waves.(Rapoport 2004:46, 66) As terrorism appears to move in waves over time so too do the activities of the terrorists. A wave then can be seen as specific to a particular time frame and consisting of a number of identifying factors. (Harrow 2008: 3) Rapoport identified four waves of terrorism which ultimately embody social uprisings, better...

...began this research, I discovered that Black Feminism is too broad of a topic to elaborate on as a whole. This paper defines the term “Black Feminism. It will explore two published articles that report on the theory and practice of how black feminism is making waves and what role of education in the development of the Black Feminist Thought from 1860 to 1920. This paper will examine when the National Black Feminist Organization was founded and lastly, how two outstanding women who made an impact in the Black Feminist Movement. According to Encyclo (n.d.) online encyclopedia the definition of black feminism is “A strand of feminist thought which highlights the multiple disadvantages of gender, class and race that shape the experiences of nonwhite women. Black feminists reject the idea of a single unified gender oppression that is experienced evenly by all women, and argue that early feminist analysis reflected the specific concerns of white, middle-class women.” In other words, black feminist argue that the liberation of black women entails freedom for all people since it would require the end of racism, sexism and class oppression. This brings me to the theory and practice of black feminism and how it is making waves. According to Taylor (2001), … (Black Scholar, para. 2) states, “it seems that far too many black people continue to link the feminist movement exclusively to the activism of bourgeois white women and not to struggles initiated by African Americans for...

...Introduction INFORMATION Students at High Schools in St.Louis are not allowed to use cell phones during school hours. The Disciplinary actions for students caught using a cell phone are: First Violation: The device will be confiscated and a parent/guardian must schedule a conference at the school to retrieve item. Second Violation: The device will be confiscated, student fined P1,200.00, parent/guardian must schedule a conference to retrieve the item, and (1) day suspension of student. Third (or more) Violations: The device will be confiscated, student loses privileges of possessing electronic devices for 1 year, student fined P2,400.00, more suspension days and/or referred to Student Tribunal Court. School districts across the states have similar policies because cell phones and other electronic devices are seen as an interference to the learning process. On the other hand, there are arguments that these rules are too strict and school districts should find ways to embrace the cell phone technology used by students on a daily basis. LITERATURE CAUSE AND EFFECT In today’s fast-moving and globalised world it is almost impossible to imagine our day-to-day life without mobile-phones. It is one of the most successful inventions of the 20th century, which has become a convenient means of communication. Modern mobile phones perform many other functions as well; they can substitute for such devices as music players, cameras and organizers. Most of them also...

...Virtual Management - a New Business Organization Paradigm JJ Murphy Negotiation Newsletter Calum Coburn Co Ltd ( private paper). This article discusses how traditional organizational management methods and structures are failing to adequately accommodate a complexity-based world view, which is characterized by discontinuous change, hyper competition and the exponential explosion of information science. Virtual organizational management is the needed change in the management paradigm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This article argues that traditional management methods and structures are failing to adequately accommodate a complexity-based world view, which is characterized by discontinuous change, hyper competition and the exponential explosion of information science and shows how the management paradigm has been updated by the new era of the virtual structures. While the management structures and systems developed by such researchers as Weber, Fayol, Taylor and Drucker in the 19th and 20th centuries established a management paradigm which has endured up to the millennium, these "simple" structures and systems were more suited to a time when competition was slower, less aggressive, and characterized by long periods of stability, and when information science was in its embryonic or primordial stage. It is abundantly clear, however, that the arrival of the 21st Century demands a fundamental rethink, and the development of...

They have more opportunities running businesses or gaining high wages than ever. Compare to the other factors, the economic factor is the mainly driving factor influences international students and scholars about retuning to China or not. Global Economy: Today’s Most Important Factor In China’s “Brain Drain” There are two revolutionary “Brain Drain” in China based on the contemporary economy-oriented phenomena. The first section will state the various analysis of former researchers, and with comparison and contracting, sums up with several main factors that affect international students and scholars to make the decision about returning to China or not. The second section will elaborate the two main factors based on the global economic circumstance, and then ends up with conclusion about what the two new forms of “Brain Drain” is that play the most efficient role in recent generation of China. By realizing the fact that “Brain Drain” in China become more and more serious, researchers have been doing numerous investigation and researches about the factors determine the decisions of international students and scholars about returning to China or not.

...Situational Analysis Tools A thorough situational analysis will begin with an initial study of the business case in order to identify the current or implied mission, vision, strategic direction and strategic goals, as well as the preferences, needs, targets and constraints of significant stakeholders (e.g. shareholders, senior management, creditors, customers, suppliers, etc.). As well, the more obvious strengths and weaknesses, and a good cross-section of opportunities and threats (SWOT) can be identified and appropriately categorized. The initial scan should then be followed by a more careful study using some of the analytical tools mentioned below, in order to find the less obvious and often more pertinent strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats pertaining to the situation at hand. The final step will be to consider the comprehensive list of these factors that have been generated (reproduced in an exhibit to your report), and to focus on the most important and relevant items that a) have caused the current situation (weaknesses), or b) must be solved (weaknesses) or mitigated (threats) in order to rectify the current situation, or c) must be drawn upon in order to come to a viable resolution to the problem (opportunities and strengths). This final list will comprise the items that you will emphasize in the body of your report. SWOT Analysis A major starting point in solving a business problem is to take a close look at the environment within which an organization...

...The PESTEL framework provides a broad analysis of six major organizational factors; Political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal. The origin of the PESTEL diagnostic model is fairly ambiguous, as it has only recently become a staple in corporate human resource environments within the last ten to fifteen years. The model itself is a broad snapshot of an organization’s big picture. In other words, the PESTEL diagnostic model can be used to help identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. According to Evans and Richardson, “organizations will need to examine competitors (current and potential), in order to determine their capabilities and strategies before evaluating their likely actions or responses” (Evans and Richardson 2007). This suggests further analysis is required after the production of a PESTEL analysis. The PESTEL framework was chosen for a few reasons. First, the analysis creates a general map of the external environments of each organization. Second, a fairly significant portion of mergers and acquisitions occur because of external forces. The PESTEL analysis determines the external forces at play for each organization. Third, the PASTEL analysis external forces only qualify if they are defined as a change in the environment. In regards to the America Online and Time Warner merger, a PESTEL diagnostic analysis can be applied to both organizations. First is an overview of the political external environment. Due to the...

...and justice, is a perfect example of a seemingly equal situation, which turns out to be anything but for women. The policies imposed in the criminal justice system affect men and women in extremely dissimilar manners. I plan to examine how gender intersects with the understanding of crime and the criminal justice system. Gender plays a significant role in understanding who commits what types of crimes, why they do so, who is most often victimized, and how the criminal justice system responds to these victims and offenders. In order to understand the current state of women and the way in which gender relates to crime and criminal justice, it is first necessary to provide a comprehensive analysis of the historical evolution of women in the criminal justice system and the affect that the different waves of feminism have had on policies and practices towards women in this system. I plan to argue that the criminal justice system is another form of patriarchal control, a sexist organization which creates conflict between the private sphere of a woman's life and the public. This control extends far beyond the just incarcerated women, it affects all women. Despite the fact that there have been changes to certain policies and prison regulations, though made with resistance, none of the changes have been for the better. By looking at past and present situations as well as the differing feminist perspectives on the justice system, I hope to offer ways and opinions on how to improve this system...

Shale gas is natural gas from shale formations which acts as both the source and the reservoir for the natural gas. Each Shale gas reservoir has unique characteristics. Shale has low matrix permeability, so gas production in commercial quantities requires fractures to provide permeability. For a given matrix permeability and pressure, gas production are determined by the number and complexity of fractures created, their effective conductivity, and the ability to effectively reduce the pressure throughout the fracture network to initiate gas production. Understanding the relationship between fracture complexity, fracture conductivity, matrix permeability, and gas recovery is a fundamental challenge of shale-gas development. Shale gas reservoirs almost always have two different storage volumes (dual porosity) for hydrocarbons, the rock matrix and the natural fractures .Because of the plastic nature of shale formations, these natural fractures are generally closed due to the pressure...

...was through his extensive research in the general circulations, that modern day weather forecasting has emerged to what it has become today. Rossby had a well-established career in the geosciences, with a broad educational background. It wasn’t until later in his life did he come to publish his greatest works. Rossby published three works in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s that involve potential vorticity, which would help establish the ground work for his most famous work on Rossby waves. The 1936 paper shows the conservation of potential vorticity in a hydrostatic, shallow fluid state, while the 1938 paper is an extension to the highly stratified hydrostatic flow, this time using isentropic coordinates. The term potential vorticity is actually never used until the 1940 paper where it is introduced. The 1939 work by Rossby is considered by some the most famous work contributed by Rossby, as he explains the semipermanent centers of action which would become the well-known Rossby waves. INTRODUCTION When people think of meteorology, the first names to appear are John Dalton, Gabriel Fahrenheit, William Ferrel, and Anders Celsius. These men are the founders of modern meteorology and made tremendous contributions to the field. These names appear in many text books and are known throughout the world. However one such name that is only known in the science of Meteorology and not so much outside is that is Carl Gustaf Rossby. Rossby not only...

...Cloud Computing Darryl W Anderson CIS 109 Abstract Cloud Computing is an up and coming technology that is changing how the world conducts business, schooling, and simply general computing. Companies are not having to spend millions of dollars on IT infrastructure allowing them to allocate those funds elsewhere like innovation. Cloud Computing One account is cloud computing is believed initially envisioned by J.C.R. Licklider back in the ‘60s. Back then he had called it “intergalactic computer network” Licklider was responsible for the development of ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Networks) back in 1969. Licklider’s dream was that everyone in the world was interconnected and able to access programs and data form any site from anywhere you could access the internet.On the other hand cloud computing is also believed to be the brain child of John McCarthy who believed computing should be delivered as a public utility like electricity or water.Since the 1960s, cloud computing has evolved over the years through a variety of phases. These phases include grid and utility computing, application service provision (ASP), and Software as a Service (SaaS). One of the initial milestones was the development and release of Salesforce.com in 1999. This provided enterprise applications through a website. In 2002, Amazon launched Amazon Web Services, offering storage and human intelligence to customers. In 2006, Amazon launched, Elastic Compute cloud (EC2) as...
