...Hand in Question 1 1. Why did the Australian government give protection to the Australian car industry after World War 2? The Australian government gave protection to the car industry after World War 2 as the government thought that the car industry, an infant industry, was critical to the future needs of the Australian defence force. Protection could, for example, increase economies of scale to promote efficiency, decrease costs and allow the industry to become internationally competitive in building vehicle engines and producing motor vehicle parts after the war. Also, cars were symbolic of Australia’s ability to become a fully industrialised developed country as cars represented modernity and wealth. Furthermore, the Australian government thought that a successful car industry would allow the economy to develop skills that were crucial to the future of the Australian economy and in previous instances, the car industry has always managed to prosper. However, there has been no form of evidence to support that statement. 2. Give reasons for the decline in Holden’s share of car sales in Australia from over 40% in 1958 to 15.2% of total sales in 2006 and finally the shutdown in 2017. What impact will the shutting down of Holden have on the economy? Since Australia’s car industry has been heavily protected by tariffs and government subsidies, it has effectively given the domestic car industry an artificial advantage over foreign competitors such as Toyota. This has...

...September 26, 2015 Written Case Analysis 4 In the particular case presented, Case 4 the parties “involved are a Superior Court judge, a father, his 5-year-old son, and the mother of the child.” (Ruggiero 171) The moral issue is second-hand being a danger to the child in question; and the fact that the judge has ordered the mother to stop smoking around her child. People know the dangers of second-hand smoke and how harmful it can be your child’s health, or anyone’s health for that matter. When “the judge ordered the woman to stop smoking around her child, his judgement corresponds with the natural value that we have a moral obligation to care for ourselves and others. Also, we are prohibited from acting in ways that could harm innocent persons.” (Burnor 182) Based on the judge’s decision, “negative rights,” he made a claim against the mother that she should not be smoking around her child.” (Burnor 196) So he is deterring the child from second-hand smoke and making sure he is protected. Now the mother must practice “positive rights” (Burnor 195) to ensure that she does what is morally right to make sure the health and well-being of he son are of utmost importance. Also, the father can be more at ease knowing his son is free from second-hand smoke. Because of the judgement against the woman, she can accuse the judge and possibly her child’s father of violating her “human rights.” (Burnor 196) She may claim that she’s being discriminated against for being a smoker, which just...

...TOPIC RESEARCH: I know from first-hand knowledge you don’t have to shot a handgun before you are allowed to carry on in the state of Iowa. PRIMARY QUESTIONS: Do you think that shooting a hand gun should be part of the carry and conceal class? What else do you think the class may need? Do you think adding a shooting portion to the class would violate the 2nd amendment if they do not pass the shooting portion of the class? REASONING BEHIND THE QUESTIONS: I think that people should learn how to shot before they are allowed to carry and hand gun and potentially use to and hurt themselves or an innocent bystander. ATICIPATED RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS: I think he’ll think that shooting should be part of the course and that it will not violate the 2nd amendment if they don’t pass the shooting portion. SECONDARY QUESTIONS: Do you think you should have to qualify with a hand gun before you get your carry and conceal permit? Should they shoot several different types of hand guns like a semi-automatic and revolver so they know how to handle both? Or do you think that learning to shoot properly should be an elective class that should be offered by the state? Answers: shooting should be part of the classes. We need to be able to go to a range and shot so we can get comfortable shooting and know the right way to shoot a handgun. I don’t think it will because everyone that wants to carry has the opportunity to as long as they show they can handle the hand gun properly, and it not...

...Catharsis(es) In Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Is there a catharsis in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close? If so, when does it happen for Oskar, and if applicable for the reader? Discuss. To discuss whether there are catharsises and if so where, it is important to have a clear definition of ‘catharsis’, so there can be no confusion. According to ‘Oxford’s: Literature Criticism and Style’ a catharsis is: “The purging of emotions which takes place at the end of a tragedy.” A good catharsis closes a story and does not leave the audience, or reader with questions. According to the Oxford definition of a catharsis, it is important to determine whether Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a tragedy, but for this essay, the focus will be on the purging of emotions and the closed ending. First of all for Oskar. On one hand there is a catharsis for Oskar. There are two moments where there could be a catharsis for Oskar. The first possible catharsis is on page 315. On this page Oskar opens up to Ron for the first time. Ron explains that he had a family, but they died. There is a small purging of emotions by Ron. Oskar opens up to Ron, which suggests he accepts that he is there. The acceptance is very important for a catharsis. Acceptance is important, because it creates a closed ending. The acceptance is also important in the second possible catharsis for Oskar, which starts on page 324. The last couple of pages are filled with the purging of emotions, which is a characteristic...

...to answer the following real-life scenario. Make sure to address all of the questions posed in the following Case Project. You have been asked to design the entire cabling system for a medical instrument manufacturer’s new warehouse. The company already has three buildings, each 1/2 a mile apart, and the warehouse, 2 miles away, will be its fourth building. Currently, the buildings run on separate networks, but the company wants to be able to exchange data among them. For example, the Quality Control Department in Building 1 would like to be able to access servers in the Research Department in Building 2. In addition, the Sales Department in Building 3 wants to conduct video training for its representatives in the field via the Internet. What kind of transmission media would you recommend for inside each different building and department of the medical instrument company and why? What type of media would you recommend using to connect the buildings together and why? Finally, what kind of media should the company use for connecting the corporate WAN to its ISP and ultimately, the Internet?

...67). As Schmidt and Brown (2012) state, quantitive research design is used to predict relationships and explain relationships and causality whereas qualitative research design gives meaning to events of phenomenon’s (p.72). The purpose of this paper is to identify and interpret research questions, study designs, sample sizes and representativeness, the strengths and weakness of the designs, as well as results of data analysis of both quantitive and qualitative research designs. Overview of Quantitive Design Using the Research Study “A Bundle Strategy Including Patient Hand Hygiene to Decrease Clostridium difficile Infections.” Research Question The basis of a research question is to pose an interrogatory question that describes the variables and population of the research study (Schmidt & Brown, 2012, p. 72). In the article “A Bundle Strategy Including Patient Hand Hygiene to Decrease Clostridium difficile Infections.”, (Pokrywka et al., 2014), Pokrywka et al. (2014) present the research question; will the effect of an expanded bundle strategy, to include patient hand hygiene, make an impact on the rate of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) of hospitalized patients? This question can be stemmed from the main research problem that the prevalence of C. difficile in hospitalized patients causes increased hospital costs, mortality and length of stay (Pokrywka et al., 2014, p. 145).

...players are card counting in a since. It’s a process of elimination. They know what is in there hand and a card that is in the opponents hand. Knowing that there are cards numbered from 1-9 you start by taking out what is in your hand and the cards that are located on each person’s forehead. Then listening to key questions you will be able to come up with an answer. So Andy draws the first question: Andy draws the question card, “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” He answers, “`yes.” Sum of Belle's cards = 5 + 4 + 7 = 16 Sum of Carol's cards = 2 + 6 + 4 = 12 Since these have different sums, but Andy sees at least two players whose cards have the same sum, then your cards must add up to either 12 or 16 -------------------- Next Belle draws the question card, “Of the five odd numbers, how many different Odd numbers do you see?” She answers “All of them.” The only odd cards that Belle sees from Andy and Carol are 5, 7 So you must have 5 and 7 -------------------- 5 + 7 = 12 You know that sum of your cards = 12 or 16 Since 5 + 7 = 12, and smallest card is 1, then your cards must add to more than 12 Sum of your cards = 13 Third card = 13 - 7 - 5 = 1 Your cards: 1,5,7 So if a person listens to the clues that that are being asked and applies those questions to what they already know with what the hold in there hand they will be able to come up with the unseen card that is located on their forehead and be correct...

...Definitions and illustrations of the concepts of Pareo and Nash equilibria. PARETO OPTIMUM/EQUILIBIRUM/EFFICIENT The idea of pareto optimum runs through all aspects of economics, for example, comparing different tax rules, and not just in game theory. It gained currency as a test to be applied in selecting economic policy as a result of a contradiction in the theory of the market deriving from the philosophy of utilitarianism. Utilitarianism could be construed as a justification for the oppression of the individual in the name of the greater good of society. This approach sits uncomfortably with the libertarian ideals of market economics, which put the individual above church and the (feudal) state, and by implication above the monarch in direct challenge to feudal rule. (see, eg, http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1126&bih=425&q=Shanti+Chakravarty+neoliberal&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Shanti+Chakravarty+neoliberal&fp=45f26fda8f9185dd). To get around the difficulty posed by classical utilitarianism, market efficiency theorems came to rely on the idea of ordinal utility which does not allow for inter-personal comparison of utility. The paretian criterion explicitly rejects inter-personal comparison in arriving at economic policy. The paretian criterion is focused entirely on the individual. A pareto optimum is a state of affairs whereby NO ONE, no individual, can be made better off without making someone worse off. Since no one is above anyone in the...
