...reason as to why this has been so is because there is an obvious assumption that democracy will always have a positive impact on economic development. It is worthwhile however, to move away from the sweeping generalization and put this issue into proper perspective. It is proper to establish the full impact of democracy. In this study, the author will seek to establish the impact of democracy on economic development. Since its origins in ancient Greece, when Greeks created city states as communities of citizens in which the administration and the making of policy were the rights of citizens, democracy has been a subject of many speculations and questions that even to date beggar answers. One of the critical questions that have been the center of speculation is what democracy’s impact on economic development is. This question has been propelled to the fore by certain factors such...

...‘the desire to be heard, - that is the impulse behind writing poems, for me’ (Adrienne Rich) Does the poetry of Adrienne Rich speak to you? Write your personal response, referring to the poems of Adrienne Rich that do/ do not speak to you. The poetry of Adrienne does speak to me, as it makes me aware of the hardship that women have faced in the past which, while focused on by many in the past, is something I have not thought much about. However Rich’s poetry shows me that this is an issue which deserves some attention, as it effectively presents the undue and unfair struggle and hardship that the female sex experienced and still experience. This is achieved with several features of her poetry, such as her variety of register, variety of theme, the seriousness of her poetry and imagery. The poems I shall use to show how Rich’s poetry speaks to me in aforementioned manner are LIVING IN SIN, DIVING INTO THE WRECK, AUNT JENNIFER’S TIGERS, THE UNCLE SPEAKS IN THE DRAWING ROOM, THE ROOFWALKER and OUR WHOLE LIFE. As I read through her poetry I noticed Rich’s poetry features unusual images which seems not to serve a purpose, but which are heavily focused on, such as a coffee-pot boiling over, or several tigers prancing. These images served two purposes: they caught my eye due to their apparent irrelevance, and then easily presented their messages to me, as they display various instances in which the females are dominated by males, cruelly and unfairly. In LIVING IN SIN Rich shows...

...1.12 What is the difference between a sample and a population? In most studies, it is difficult to obtain information from the entire population. We rely on samples to make estimates or inferences related to the population. Population means the population of the whole area. Sample means a sample of people taken out of the population to be tested or studied. 1.13 What is the difference between a statistic and parameter? The difference between parameter and a statistic is that a parameter is a number obtained by calculation from a population while statistic is a number calculated from a sample. A statistic is usually used to estimate a parameter. 1.22 A Gallup poll indicated that 74% of Americans who had yet to retire look to retirement accounts as major funding sources when they retire.
