After reading this chapter, which of the many factors that cause prejudice do you think is most important to change? Prejudice is an adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts. Prejudice can come from ignorance and also fear, because individuals can be prejudice to a certain culture where they could know a little about them, and is afraid of how that certain culture is different from them in language, behavior or customs. 3- How do Milgram's results—particularly the finding that the remoteness of the victim affected obedience—relate to some aspects of modern warfare? 4- What are some of the similarities between Zimbardo's prison study and the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq?

...World Religions Report Katherine Grenfell HUM/130 Religions of the World September 21st 2014 Shannon Richmond World Religions Report Buddhism is considered to be beyond religion as it is more of a philosophy and a way of life (A Basic Buddhism Guide: 5 Minute Introduction, 2014). Buddhism sprang from the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama who lived for approximately eighty years in the fifth century BCE. His name means “wish-fulfiller” or “he who has reached his goal” (Fisher, 2014, p138) and through his search to find an end to suffering he became the Buddha, or awakened one. Buddhism is a very personal religion as it encourages its teachings to be tested and explored by each individual, allowing each follower to use the religions in their own way. Having been brought up to explore and question all things, this seems a beautiful philosophy that I could not wait to explore. Siddhartha was born to a wealthy family that sheltered him from all suffering. According to the legend, the Gods arranged for Siddhartha to see four sights: an old man bent with age, a sick person, a dead body, and a vagrant who sought happiness rather than worldly pleasure (Fisher, 2014). The first three sights left Siddhartha contemplating the impermanence of life and the cycle of birth, life, and death, while the final sight intrigued him and interested him in a life of renouncement. He set out as a wandering ascetic in search of discovering a way to total liberation from suffering, spending...

...PERSPECTIVE ON CRISISOLOGY (A Brief Commentary) By MUHAMMAD SANI ISA Abstract They are number of words in the dictionary whose meanings are self-expressive. One of such is the word crisis. By the virtue of its phonology and perceptual disruptive characteristics, it needs no introduction. However, over the years, men and women both educated and uneducated have become victims on a number of reasonable and unreasonable grounds ranging from acts of God, ignorance, materialism, human error and as well as unsafe acts, lack of standard of operations, government decisions/indecisions. As it is world-wide, crisis has assumed the right of occupancy in the affairs of mankind, making it extremely imperative for us to critically and objectively explore, expand and to deepen our understanding about its triggers, escalations, life-cycle, dimensions and including every conceivable aspects of crisis through education, sensitisation and conscientisation on the platform of Crisisology. Key words: crisis, emergency, disruption, management and Crisisology Crisis is the occasion of pain, injuries, illnesses, disabilities, deaths, and property damages. It disrupts means of livelihood and unleashes other undesirable consequences to lives and the environments that threaten growth, development and communal survival. Crises are inevitable. No individual, organisation or society is immuned from it. A crisis is one of the purest forms of global equality – blind to race, culture, religion, occupation...

...Founded in the year 2005, by Dr. Chris Granet, in the Fremont District of California, Solyndra is a company that deals in Solar Energy. Involved in the manufacturing process of Tubular Solar Panels, it’s an unrivalled player in this business. The company also offers a variety of other Solar Product options, as it’s been in the books of most solar manufacturing companies to use Flat panels which are traditional to Solyndra’s PV Solar System. Contrary to the Standardized solar panels as used in Ballast, the Solar Products manufactured by Solyndra are not entitled to be Standard specific. (David 2008). The manufacture and exercise of solar panel have a true ethical implication. There are issues wherein the admission to solar panel and the economic development has led to the distribution of resources that has affected the environment and also due to the usage of exhaustible resources with the purpose of certain kind of ethical values. As the Solyndra’s problem gradually started since 31st August 2011 onwards as the filling of legal plaintiff in the bankruptcy case (chapter 11). It had to receive the payment of more than half a billion which was basically a loan funding from the energy department of US after 2 years, $25.1 million dollars were also added which was generally tax exempt from the California’s Alternative Energy & Advance Transportation Authority (CAEATA), they were also given the permission to provide a helping hand to the Solyndra finance in the process of manufacturing...

...Content Intoduction 3 Why do customers complain? 3 Complaints are a goldmine of information 6 Why is Complaints Handling Important? 7 Intoduction A consumer complaint or customer complaint is “an expression of dissatisfaction on a consumer’s behalf to a responsible party”. It can also be described in a positive sense as a report from a consumer providing documentation about a problem with a product or service. In fact, some modern business consultants urge businesses to view customer complaints as a gift. Consumer complaints are usually informal complaints directly addressed to a company or public service provider, and most consumers manage to resolve problems with products and services in this way, but it sometimes requires persistence. If the grievance is not addressed in a way that satisfies the consumer, the consumer sometimes registers the complaint with a third party such as association of the rights of the consumers , a county government (if it has a “consumer protection” office) and etc. These and similar organizations in other countries accept for consumer complaints and assist people with customer service issues, as do government representatives like attorneys general. Consumers however rarely file complaints in the more formal legal sense, which consists of a formal legal process. Internet forums and the advent of social media have provided consumers with a new way to submit complaints. Consumer news and...

...Higher Education: A Wise Investment The world is perpetually changing, and people are changing with it. Every day, there are new demands, necessities, and ways to achieve success in the 21st century. Consequently, to evolve at this rapid pace, people desperately seek opportunities to grow intellectually and feel they have succeeded in life, because everyone has his/her own inner power to make the world better. According to a contemporary model of a liberal society, humans are placed in the center of the planet around them. They are not just observing what is going on, but also participating. They have the right to express their opinion. These ideas might seem to be not very related to an educational process. However, a basis of such concepts like a freedom of speech, a critical thinking and self-respect are formed at school and polished at higher educational institutions (Bronfenbrenner). Everybody has a unique individuality. Studying at a university or college is efficient for liberating consciousness and developing the creativity of young people. Thus, investing into a higher education might lead to efficient results in this sphere. All around the world, universities are considered to form free-thinking members of the democratic society. The latter tend to make themselves and their communities better (Sokol). It is quite difficult to state that attending a university is a sine-qua-non for everyone in society. However, most experts would agree that higher education...

...completed application forms are submitted to the University and the student is accepted. The signing of the application form establishes the legal liability of the student and his/her other funder for the payment of all fees as determined by the Council. This can vary according to the student's circumstances. These fees are published in the annual Rhodes University Calendar, and are available on the WEB. In any discussions or negotiations about fees, it will be assumed that a student and his/her other funder have made themselves aware of the provisions of this section and of the equivalent fees schedule. While the University attempts to keep fees as low as possible, student fees usually increase annually by approximately 10% per annum. Ignorance of the fees payable does not provide grounds for avoiding liability for any fees due and payable. Alteration of fees The University Council reserves the right to alter all fees payable to the University, or to impose a fees surcharge if circumstances require it. In the case of an alteration of fees or the imposition of a fees surcharge, notice will be sent to all registered students. Nonreceipt of such a notice does not provide grounds for avoiding liability for the contents of the notice. Arrears Any student whose fees are not paid...

...Essay on Christianity. By Percy Bysshe Shelley. From the 1880 edition of The Works of Shelley in Verse and Prose, edited by H. Buxton Forman. Click here for Forman's editorial preface. ESSAY ON CHRISTIANITY. THE Being who has influenced in the most memorable manner the opinions and the fortunes of the human species, is Jesus Christ. At this day, his name is connected with the devotional feelings of two hundred millions of the race of man. The institutions of the most civilized portions of the globe derive their authority from the sanction of his doctrines; he is the hero, the God, of our popular religion. His extraordinary genius, the wide and rapid effect of his unexampled doctrines, his invincible gentleness and benignity, the devoted love borne to him by his adherents, suggested a persuasion to them that he was something divine. The supernatural events which the historians of this wonderful man subsequently asserted to have been connected with every gradation of his career, established the opinion. His death is said to have been accompanied by an accumulation of tremendous prodigies. Utter darkness fell upon the earth, blotting the noonday sun; dead bodies, arising from their graves, walked through the public streets, and an earthquake shook the astonished city, rending the rocks of the surrounding mountains. The philosopher may attribute the application of these events to the death of a reformer, or the events themselves to a visitation of that universal Pan who—— *****...

...“The role of women in the gothic genre is as victims, always subject to male authority.” Compare and contrast the extent to which this interpretation is relevant to your three chosen texts. “The wolf consumes red riding hood – what else can you expect if you talk to strange men, comments Perrault briskly. Let’s not bother our heads with the mysteries of sadomasochistic attraction” Angela Carter; Foreword to Perrault’s Short Stories. In much of today’s feminist writings, the Gothic era is frequently defined as a period in which the oppression of females was at its most intense. In response to fin de siècle anxieties of a social revolution in which gender stereotypes could be overhauled, gothic writers, it is claimed, sought to reassert cultural and gender norms – a reassertion which inevitably resulted in the oppression of women. In view of such contemporary analysis, it is thus all too tempting to offer a sweeping judgement of gothic literature as victimising, oppressive and misogynistic; Dracula’s “victims” are all “unambiguously women[1]”, Poe victimises through an “idealised and dehumanising image of women[2]”, while Carter is a “pseudo feminist” who merely “reinforces patriarchal views” with her “pornographic” writing[3]. Yet such views are largely artificial, and are primarily based on potted summaries of the above works, rather than a closer textual analysis. If one takes the definition of a victim as a being who is subject to the successful predatory actions of...
