...AIM: The aim of my research is to find out the attitudes of the young/old male and female to other ethnic groups. Ethnicity is very valuable idea which refers to the common culture of a social group, such as language, religion, styles of dress, food, shared history and experiences. However, an ethnic group is a group of people who share a common culture, for example the Irish, the Poles, Asians and African-Caribbeans etc. I hope to find out the following: • The ethnic group which attract most prejudice? • Young or older people have more/less prejudice? METHOD: To test my hypothesis, I will use Quantitative data method which refers to anything that can be expressed in a statistical or number form or can be measured i.e age, income, qualifications and is usually presented in form of graphs, pie charts, bar charts etc. The advantage of quantitative data, is that data is easy collect and easy to count and visualize. Since the data collected will be in number form I hope achieve its reliability which is concerned with replication. A survey involves the sociologist in systematically gathering information about a group of people and is done using questionnaires or interviews and the first step is to select a group of people to be studied and this group is called survey population. Considering time limits in my research, I will use a sample which simply means a small group drawn from a survey population to be studied. To generalize my survey to the whole population...

The company dipped into the United States market, but came up short. It is time for the business to look at their largest market the U.K., and start asking the questions to realign their marketing management in their supermarkets. In successful businesses, understanding your customer and making changes to accommodate the feedback can relate to improving returns on investment. According to Finch, the value of loyal customers represents in the reliable stream of revenue, which establishes the initial investment (Finch, 2012). Good relationships build into very loyal customers, and dedicated customers spread the word of your brand and refer new business. The growth in a company can attribute to the loyalty and referrals. A consumer is more likely to use a new product, if a friend suggests a brand they use or enjoy. The power of a personal reference removes the doubt of someone trying a brand new company or service, with little information. Loyalty is the formula of customer satisfaction combine with market select. Finch describes a “retention plan with these four items: * Create specific profiles of loyal buyer...

...Albert Camus: an author of the truth about life One of the worst lessons to learn in life is how unimportant people become after the inevitable: death. Albert Camus is very well-known for his many novels exposing the true, cold-hearted facts about life and mankind. Although his writing was mostly focused on the unimportance of life, there was a time when he wrote about politics. He wrote for a very popular underground newspaper that tried to create a non-communist movement in France at the time of World War II. After being influenced by his mentor from college and witnessing deaths from World War II, Albert Camus began writing many novels and plays exposing the indifference of men and the meaninglessness of human life. Camus was born in Dreán, French Algeria on November 7, 1913 (“Albert Camus” The Famous People). He was born to a cellarman and a cleaning woman, both of whom lived in poverty (“Albert Camus Biography”). Camus lived with his father when he was first born. At one year-old, in 1914, Camus’ father died in the Battle of Marne during World War II (“Albert Camus” The Famous People). After his father died he lived with his mom in a three bedroom apartment without electricity or running water and with a toilet that had to be shared among other apartments. At that time children were only required to complete school up to the primary level. It was one of his primary teachers, Louis Germain that had a large impact on his education. Germain pushed him to go to high school, where...

...The Lady Or The Tiger? By: Frank Stockton In the very olden time there lived a semi-barbaric king, whose ideas, though somewhat polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors, were still large, florid, and untrammeled, as became the half of him which was barbaric. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He was greatly given to self-communing, and, when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but, whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. Among the borrowed notions by which his barbarism had become semified was that of the public arena, in which, by exhibitions of manly and beastly valor, the minds of his subjects were refined and cultured. But even here the exuberant and barbaric fancy asserted itself. The arena of the king was built, not to give the people an opportunity of hearing the rhapsodies of dying gladiators, nor to enable them to view the inevitable conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions and hungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to widen and develop the mental energies of the people. This vast...

So, “alternative investments” have become increasingly popular. An alternative investment is any investment other than the three traditional asset classes: stocks, bonds and cash. These alternatives don’t take the place of those more traditional assets. Investors shouldn’t sell their stocks, cash out their savings accounts and put all their money in these less traditional options. Most financial experts agree that alternative investments are best when used to diversify financial portfolios. In other words, instead of putting all of the money in stocks put some in stocks, some in bonds and...
