...Starr Carter is an African American high-school student who, during this section, witnesses her childhood friend’s death in the hands of a Caucasian police officer. Her internal conflicts and struggles that follow this event set the stage for important questions that are prevalent in society today. When analyzed, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare both explore a similar theme of love despite differences. In Romeo and Juliet, the rivalry between the Montagues and the Capulets causes Juliet to be conflicted, telling her nurse, “My only love sprung from my only hate! … Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy.” (Shakespeare 1.5.151-155). This shows Juliet questioning why the...

The literature on radicalization tends to emphasize cost/benefit calculations, but many have noted the salience of emotions such as anger or outrage, shame, and humiliation in political conflict. Research on emotional aspects of radicalization is needed. For instance, it is not clear whether hate is an emotion or a powerful form of negative identification that can be the occasion of many emotions - both positive and negative - depending on what is happening to the target of hatred (Royzman, McCauley, & Rozin, 2005). Similarly, it is not clear whether humiliation is a distinct emotion or a synergism of more fundamental emotions such as anger and shame (Lindner, 2006). 6. How Does Martyrdom Contribute to Political Radicalization? Many have noted the power of martyrdom for political mobilization, and there is a significant literature that asks how individuals are encouraged or recruited to give their lives in suicide terrorism (Merari, 2004; Speckhard &...

...Analysis: Albert Fish’s actions can be analyzed from an anthropological, sociological and psychological perspective in order to further understand what led him to such outcomes. First he will be analyzed from an anthropological perspective, which looks at the overriding culture and other factors that resulted in his actions. Early in his childhood, Fish was introduced to violence which led to his sadistic realizations (Brisbon, H. 2007). The culture between 1870 and 1936 in which he lives was a very violent time in America with a lot of violent crimes related to racism and homophobia, making following in those footsteps a very easy option for a person like Albert Fish. Due to the violent historical occurrences, Fish felt as though he was dominant over African American, handicapped and homosexual people, which led him to exploit them as his primary targets (Brisbon, H. 2007). This shows that the culture and society he was brought up in caused Fish to abide dominance against other humans and displayed violence as an easy outlet for that hate which led to the many gruesome assaults and murders he proceeded with throughout his lifetime (Brisbon, H. 2007). The anthropological circumstances contribute to Albert Fish seeing the world through a lens of arrogant entitlement and treating people as targets. Albert fish could also be understood through the lens of sociology. Sociology looks at how members of society interact with one another. To the public, Albert fish was a gentle and...

...Contemporary Hate Crimes, Law Enforcement, and the Legacy of Racial Violence Ryan D. King University at Albany-SUNY Robert D. Baller University of Iowa This article investigates the association between past lynchings (1882 to 1930) and contemporary law enforcement responses to hate crimes in the United States. While prior research indicates a positive correlation between past levels of lynching and current social control practices against minority groups, we posit an inverse relationship for facets of social control that are protective of minorities. Specifically, we hypothesize that contemporary hate crime policing and prosecution will be less vigorous where lynching was more prevalent prior to 1930. Analyses show that levels of past lynching are associated with three outcome variables germane to hate crime policing and prosecution, but the effect of lynching is partly contingent on the presence of a minority group threat. That is, past lynching combined with a sizeable black population largely suppresses (1) police compliance with federal hate crime law, (2) police reports of hate crimes that target blacks, and in some analyses (3) the likelihood of prosecuting a hate crime case. Our findings have implications for research on law and intergroup conflict, historical continuity in the exercise of state social control, and theories that emphasize minority group threat. Steven F. Messner University at Albany-SUNY onflict theories of crime and criminal law posit that the...

...http://jejedex.blogspot.com/2010/06/jejemon-history-how-it-all-began.html Jejemon History: How It All Began Several years ago, a lot of the youth joined text messaging clans while others played online MMORPG games like Ragnarok, Flyff, and Gunbound. Some, with the urge to find and get to know people of all ages online, joined in social networks like Friendster and Multiply. At that time, Friendster was in while Facebook was not what it turned out to be at present. Due to the necessity of having to relay a message abruptly so as not to be delayed in action (while playing, texting or commenting), they tried to make messages they type really short to an extent that every word was internally altered using numbers to creatively displace letters that would still make the words readable. Of course, Jejemonism was not that intense and obvious at that time. It took a longer time before the more educated ones realized that something's not right and one thing has to be done - to abide by what is being conventionally dictated by society. At that moment, many of the younger generation became adapted to this kind of typing style for they really thought that it was somehow cool, manageable and widely accepted within their age range. It was the new hip at that time, but as it grew out of nowhere, concerned academic people took this as a threat to the educational standards. In time, Jejemonism became the latest source of boiling social debates. As time propelled and confusion arose, people...

...Analysis This is, without a doubt, Kipling's most beloved poem, and, along with "The White Man's Burden", his most famous. Although T.S. Eliot would deem it only "great verse" and others "jingoistic nonsense," it is consistently ranked among the highest, if not the highest itself, of Britons' favorite poems. It was first published in the "Brother Square-Toes" chapter of Rewards and Fairies, a 1910 collection of verse and short stories. While the poem is addressed to Kipling's son John, it was inspired by a great friend of his, Leander Starr Jameson, the Scots-born colonial politician and adventurer responsible for what has been deemed the Jameson raid that led to the Second Boer War. The raid was intended to start an uprising among the British expatriate workers in the South African Republic, but there were complications and it was a failure. Jameson was arrested and tried, but he was already being hailed a hero by London, which was filled with anti-Boer sentiment. He served only fifteen months in prison and later became Prime Minister of Cape Colony back in South Africa. It appears that Kipling had met Jameson and befriended him through Cecil Rhodes, the Prime Minister of Cape Colony at the time of the raid. In his autobiography Something of Myself, Kipling wrote of Jameson and "If-": "Among the verses in Rewards was one set called `If-', which escaped from the book, and for a while ran about the world. They were drawn from Jameson's character, and contained counsels of...

...awakening, that you don't know what to do -- I was so disgusted with myself.” While I do believe that statement is true I think it is more of apology where I am sorry I got caught but maybe I am not sincerely sorry for what I said. Other celebrities were also mad and turned to social media to voice their opinions. Rob Lowe for example and made the connection to her and the Dixie Chicks. The fact that she had a huge social media presences and chose Youtube as her format was an incredible advantage to reach her key audience. The video was seen as sincere and fans started using the hashtag #WeForgiveYouAriana to show their support for Grande. Also the support of her brother Frankie Grande helped her image when took to Twitter on July 9 and stated, “U made a mistake & r being JUDGED very HARSHLY for it but ur doing the right thing in the face of it & I’m so proud.” He also tweeted, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her....

...HBR CASE STUDY Crescordia’s products are respected the world over. Now, rivals have launched a radical–albeit still buggy–new technology. Can the company afford to sit out the revolution? Holding Fast by John T. Gourville “N DANIEL VASCONCELLOS ow remember, with every blow of the hammer, you’ve got to feel the femoral nail advancing through the bone. If you don’t, then for heaven’s sake, stop. It might be impinging on the cortex or it might be too large for the canal. Keep whacking, and you’ll fracture the cortex.” The trainer’s calm, authoritative voice boomed out across the room as a dozen orthopedic surgeons toiled away on the cadaver limbs laid out before them. Pausing to observe the technique of one of the surgeons, he glanced up to see his boss, CEO Peter Walsh, crack open the door and squeeze through, trying his best to be unobtrusive. The trainer glanced at the clock.“Okay, let’s save some of this fun for the afternoon,” he called out. “We’ll meet in the lobby in ten minutes and walk over to lunch.” In addition to making a range of products from artificial hips to scalpels, Crescordia was one of a handful of major companies that developed, manufactured, and sold the steel and titanium plates, nails, and screws – known as fix- ation devices – that surgeons used to repair broken bones. At least twice a month, Crescordia hosted training sessions like this one for orthopedic surgeons who used the company’s products. Walsh joined the group for lunch as often...

...Abstract The debate over whether moral sentiments should be included in normative economic analysis offers the arguments that inclusion is unnecessary as results are the same, that inclusion can result in double counting and will result in acceptance of projects that fail to pass a potential compensation test. I show that these arguments are unpersuasive or incorrect. Instead the inclusion of moral sentiments has potential to improve normative analysis. This is illustrated by comparing the standard criteria for benefit cost analysis (Kaldor-Hicks) that does not include moral sentiments with a modification (KHZ) that does. KHZ dominates KH even by the principles of KH itself. JEL Codes: Q20, D6, D63, D64 I. Introduction The practical criteria for economic efficiency, the Kaldor-Hicks (KH) criteria, have existed for over sixty years, without the profession fully facing the issue of whether or not moral sentiments should be included in normative economic analysis. In part this is due to historical reasons, in part to normal inertia associated with any academic discipline, in part because of the recent interest in moral sentiments in the form of existence values and in part because of objections raised to inclusion of moral sentiments. This paper concerns two issues. The first is whether or not it is desirable to include moral sentiments in welfare analysis. The answer to this question will depend in part on the answer to the second question, which...

...Running head: ENRON CORPORATION Enron Corporation (former NYSE ticker symbol ENE) Rosetta Foster Strayer University Business Law I – LEG 100 Dr. Dorothy A. Sliben October 25, 2010 Enron Corporation (former NYSE ticker symbol ENE) The ensuing scandal involving the Enron Corporation, Arthur Andersen, the Bush Administration, the ninety-six banks, et al., clearly shows the abuse of power, when corporations, etc. ultimately thinks and/or feel that it is above the law. The effects are still being felt even after the bankruptcy proceedings, collapse/fall and trials of one of the biggest and major corporate scandals in American history and time. 1. Describe how Enron could have been structured differently to avoid such activities. Enron having been obviously formulated as a business corporation (a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners), a privilege provided by the state legislature to corporations by virtue of its Articles of Incorporation, corporate by-laws and state and/or federal charter, under its guise and appearance as an artificial company. As stated by Shaw, W. (2010), “Corporations are legal entities, with legal rights and responsibilities similar but not identical to those enjoyed by individuals. Business corporations are; limited liability companies―that is their owners or stock-holders are liable for corporate debts only up to the extent of their investments.” (Enron failed to implement and enforce the structural guidelines associated...

...ISSN 1940-204X COORS BALANCED SCORECARD: A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE Hugh Grove University of Denver Tom Cook University of Denver Ken Richter Coors Brewing Company IntroductIon By the end of 1997, Coors had finished the implementation of a three-year Computer Integrated Logistics (CIL) project to improve its supply chain management. Coors defined its supply chain as every activity involved in moving production from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer. (Since by Federal law, Coors cannot sell directly to consumers, Coors customers are its distributors whose customers are retailers whose customers are consumers.) Coors supply chain included the following processes: purchasing, research and development, engineering, brewing, conditioning, fermenting, packaging, warehouse, logistics, and transportation. This CIL project was a cross-functional initiative to reengineer the business processes by which Coors logistics or supply chain was managed. This reengineering project improved supply chain processes and applied information technology to provide timely and accurate information to those involved in supply chain management. The project objective was to increase company profitability by reducing cycle times and operating costs and increasing customer (distributor) satisfaction. The software vendor used for this project was the German company, Systems Applications & Products (SAP), 1 that provided the financial and materials planning software modules. The SAP planning...

...????????? What is conflict? Is it a miscommunication between two parties? Is it a clash of interests? Is it a need for revenge? To a literary person, conflict is what gives a piece of writing depth and makes it something to remember. In fact, it is the very concept that makes Hamlet stand out from other pieces of literature. The intense struggle between the two main characters make it one of Shakespeare’s most well-known pieces of writing. From beginning to end, two characters have the power to create, mould and exemplify countless themes throughout Hamlet. The fierce conflict between Claudius and Hamlet is essential to develop the action and inaction, revenge, the impossibility of certainty and appearance vs. reality themes. The contrast between action and inaction is emphasized between Claudius and Hamlet due to the conflict between these two characters. To begin, Claudius sends Hamlet to an almost certain death immediately after he suspects Hamlet’s knowledge of his father’s murder. Quickly, he confides in Rosencratz and Guildenstern that, “[Claudius likes Hamlet] not, nor stands it safe with [everyone] / [t]o let his madness range” (III.iii.1-2), and demands, “therefore prepare you. I your commission will forthwith dispatch / [a]nd he to England shall along with you” (III.iii.3-4). It seems Claudius proceeds impulsively, however his calculated and rapid actions are the key to the development of the theme of action. Claudius smoothly uses “[Hamlet’s] madness”...

...BACHELOR OF COMMERCE (B.COM.,) PAPER – 2.1 MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS UNIT – I CHAPTER - I SECTION - I Definition of Managerial Economics Managerial economics refers to those aspects of economics and its tools of analysis most relevant to the firm’s decision-making process. According to MeNair and Meriam, managerial economies consists of the use of economic models of thought to analyze business situations. Some writers consider managerial economics as the integration of economic theory with business practice for the purpose of facilitating decision-making and forward planning by management. The underlying idea of all these definitions is that managerial economics means economics applied in decision-making. So we may consider managerial economics as a special branch of economics bridging the gap between abstract theory and managerial practice. It may be pointed out here that effective decision-making at the firms’ level calls for a careful analysis of a choice between alternative courses of action. Economic theory offers a variety of concepts and analytical tools which can be of considerable assistance to the manager in his decision-making process. In fact actual problem-solving may require many skills and tools which are not available in the traditional economist’s. For example, knowledge of accounting and of statistical concepts and methods, which are not taught in economics, can help the analyses to apply more effectively the economic...
