...The Chronicles of Generation X: The History, Influential Events, and My Personal Experience Kareem E. Murray COM/172 3/11/2015 Dr. Debra Geiger If you ask anybody about Generation X, nine times out ten people will think you were talking about an X-Men or Wolverine cartoon. In comparison to the X-Men, we have been stereotyped as being frustrated, cynical, hopeless and unmotivated slacker. This subject is more realistic than those lies and titanium claws society want to put on my generation. In a class of our own, you will get a better understanding of Generation X through its history, the influential events and my personal experiences have sharpened such a diverse generation that will always stay on top. Generation X or Gen Xers consist of 50 million members born between 1965 and 1977, from the past generation of the Baby Boomers. In a time where the single most anti-child phase in American history began. In the early 1960's the birth control pill became widely available, and in 1973, abortion was legalized (Coupland 1991). These are two factors that are said to have contributed to the generation small numbers. Compared to Baby Boomer numbers at 76 million and Millennial at 80 million according to Jeff Gordinier in his book, How Generation X Got the Shaft, But Can Still Keep Everything from Sucking (Gordinier 2009). Robert Capa, a photographer for Mangum magazine, was the first person to use the phrase "Generation X". Using it to describe the people who grew up after...

...1 NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE ESCALATION OF THE COLD WAR, 1945-1962 David Holloway, Stanford University Nuclear weapons are so central to the history of the Cold War that it can be difficult to disentangle the two. Did nuclear weapons cause the Cold War? Did they contribute to its escalation? Did they help to keep the Cold War “cold?” We should ask also how the Cold War shaped the development of atomic energy. Was the nuclear arms race a product of Cold War tension rather than its cause? The Atomic Bomb and the Origins of the Cold War The nuclear age began before the Cold War. During World War II, three countries decided to build the atomic bomb: Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Britain put its own work aside and joined the Manhattan Project as a junior partner in 1943. The Soviet effort was small before August 1945. The British and American projects were driven by the fear of a German atomic bomb, but Germany decided in 1942 not to make a serious effort to build the bomb. In an extraordinary display of scientific and industrial might, the United States made two bombs ready for use by August 1945. Germany was defeated by then, but President Truman decided to use the bomb against Japan. The decision to use the atomic bomb has been a matter of intense controversy. Did Truman decide to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki in order, as he claimed, to end the war with Japan without further loss of American lives? Or did he drop the bombs in order to intimidate the Soviet...

...Odugbesan Opeyemi .A 137479 Umoh nse lina 137493 Idowu Babagbemi .A 13794 Introduction This paper attempts to explain the reason why some European countries joined or formed secret alliances, which was to undermine its purpose of maintaining peace in Europe during our period of study. Shortly after the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, Germany became the European strongest power until the fall of Germany in 1914. The unification of Germany brought about changes to the European diplomatic scene, with the appointment of Otto von Bismarck as the German chancellor in 1871 by Kaiser Williams 1, he reorganized the German military and increased industrialization in Germany. Through Bismarck’s political strategies Germany was able to become European’s instrument for peace and balance of power. According to some research we realize that during the reign of Napoleon Bonarphte coalition were also formed against the French aggression, therefore we can say the alliance systems had been occurring in Europe before the coming of Bismarck, but for the purpose of our study the system of alliance that was going to change the political order of Europe, both in the east and west was formed between 1871-1907. This system of alliance was not aggressive but gradually it generated into the outbreak of the First World War which occurred as a result to the Balkan crisis and various territorial dispute in Africa and Europe.The alliance system was started by Bismarck, the German chancellor...

This will be a vital step to reinforcing market integrity.’ - Angel Gurría, Secretary-General, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The collapse of global financial markets in September 2008 has ignited a debate on what caused their quick undoing. As captured in the comments of the OECD Secretary-General, there is a growing sentiment that poor corporate governance is one of the forces to blame. It allowed the transparency, accountability and integrity of companies to be compromised and for abuses to go unchecked, particularly on matters of corruption. w w w. t r a n s p a r e n c y . o r g Table of Contents 1. 2. 3.

...need for analyzing the roles of a correctional psychologist. The special roles played by the correctional psychologists such as providing environments that improve the safety of the staff and inmates, psychological services, inmate management, and conducting an evaluation of the inmate/prison population and its influence on inmates’ health necessitated the study into the topic. In addition, the fact that the correctional psychology has numerous ethical dilemmas and conflicts makes it wanting to study the topic. Introduction Today, corrections are a complex, high profile operation, which consumes a significant portion of the federal operating budget. This paper will concentrate on the duties of a correctional psychologist. The paper begins with an overview of legal issues pertinent to psychological concepts and legal rights of inmates. We then examine the practice of forensic psychology in the correctional environment. Legal issues This section describes the common legal issues facing psychologists working in correctional facilities. The issues have been organized around the principles of American Psychological Association (APA) ethics code. Correctional psychologists see the criminal as a customer. In whichever scenario, the level of confidentiality that a customer anticipates in a psychologist is smaller than that found in the community due to the safety and security risks in the correctional atmosphere. Confidentiality...

...The Assassination of J. F. K. Ronald J. Conti Professor: Kathy Hartwell Mountain State University Spring 2012 Abstract This paper is going to tell of mainly the assassination of, President John F. Kennedy. It will give a brief description of his early and later life, his time in the senate, his presidency, and finally his assassination. To get some of the information on the afternoon of the assassination, one can go to youtube.com. They have some really good videos. Some of them are theories and some are actual footage. It truly was a very sad day for his family, and for the rest of the country. There are various conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination, but what is written in this paper may only go along with one of them. The Assassination of J. F. K. John F. “Jack” Kennedy was born on, May 29, 1917, to Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr., and Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald Kennedy. As siblings go, John was the second eldest of nine children. John’s father was the first chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, later, an ambassador to London. John is the second son of four boys born to Joseph and Rose. Rose is the eldest child to, John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, a prominent Boston political figure, who was the city's mayor, and a three-term member of Congress. During John’s childhood, he had been very ill, and had been given the last rights, five times; the first time, was when he was a newborn. He was born to an Irish-Catholic family, to which had nine children;...

...the real world like business processes, expert knowledge, or process models. This article gives a short overview about these disciplines and describes some current research topics against the background of common points of contact. 1 Introduction During the last decades the disciplines of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software Engineering (SE) have developed separately without much exchange of research results. In AI we researched techniques for the computations that made it possible to perceive, reason, and act. Research in SE was concerned with supporting human beings to develop better software faster. Today, several research directions of both disciplines come closer together and are beginning to build new research areas. Software Agents play an important role as research objects in Distributed AI (DAI) as well as in agentoriented software engineering (AOSE). Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) are being investigated for learning software organizations (LSO) as well as knowledge engineering. Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a new research area for distributed, non-intrusive, and intelligent software systems both from the direction of how to build these systems as well as how to design the collaboration between ambient systems. Last but not least, Computational Intelligence (CI) plays an important role in research about software analysis or project management as well as knowledge discovery in databases or machine learning. Furthermore, in the last five to ten years several books...
