...De La Torre, Pamela Z. 2015 – 46044 BA Behavioral Sciences This should be one of the Last Posts by females on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter which recount their experiences of men catcalling or inappropriately touching them and news articles on women exposing how they were physically abused and/or raped by colleagues or even high-profile men circulate and can be seen on our timelines and news feeds almost every day. Amidst these haunting cases are comments made by both men and women on how it was the female’s fault why she got raped or harassed in the first place and other posts about how women should dress and act so as not to get harassed or seen as “asking for it”. You have men thinking that it’s okay to say “hi ganda” or “miss beautiful, pahingi naman ng number mo” to ladies passing by because they don’t really get condemned for it as much as the girl who was wearing a short skirt when it happened. Such thinking exists that it’s okay to catcall women but it’s not okay for females to wear shorts on a hot day. Our own culture tolerates and even encourages sexual harassment by joking about it (Expanding the Anti-Sexual Harassment Law, n.d.) and society normalizes sexual violence committed by men (What is Rape Culture?, n.d.). This is rape culture, and it exists and prevails in the Philippines. Emilie Buchwald, co-author of the book Transforming a Rape Culture, defines the culture of rape as “a complex set of beliefs that encourages male sexual aggression...

...The exchange rate fluctuations in India has been a topic of apprehension for the policy makers and common public. The exchange rate system in India, known as managed float, has evolved through a long process of probing for an suitable policy system for India. in view of the fact that exchange rates are relative prices of two currencies it is generally exaggerated by the relative productivity differential and real wage rates in the long-run. However, the bubbles arising out of assumption plays a major role in influencing the exchange rates in the short-run. The present state of affairs about the exchange rate fluctuations in India has been caused to a large extent by the worsening current account balance and the unfavorable expectations related with it. On the other hand, the question of interference by the government in the exchange rate market should be decided on the foundation of the impact of such exchange rate fluctuations on the real effective exchange rate and the likely effects on the employment situation in the country. There are an array of factors affecting the exchange rate fluctuations like interest rate, balance of trade, money supply, economic growth, foreign debt, inflation etc. India has seen a huge breakdown of the Rupee because of the adverse affects of these factors on the Indian currency. Mentioned below are the various sectors being affected by the Rupee depreciation. Fuel Price: India imports most of its oil consumption. As a result of dwindling of...

...Philippines, being one of the most friendly countries towards homosexuality according to a survey “The Global Divide on Homosexuality” conducted by the US-based Pew Research Center last 2013. Being a country that widely accepts homosexuality, a lot of straight men and women that are homosexuals are loud and out. Although the LGBT (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders) are now accepted by the Philippine society, they have come a long way of struggle to gain their freedom and rights. Gays in particular, have been a great subject to social discrimination, taunts, ridicules and mockery. One of the ways the discriminated gays thought of was to come up with a code that only they will understand in order to hide from the prying eyes and ears of the society they move in. But because of the everyday and frequent use of the code in parlors, sidewalks, comedy bars and other places where gays frequently hang out. Since 1960’s where an evolution of the Filipino language sprouted called Taglish or Tagalog-English where one of its steady sources has been gay language, which has generated so many words and idioms that have been inserted in the mainstream of the everyday Taglish. As the gays started to be accepted by the society, the language grew gradually adding more and more terms from different sources. Gay language has also influenced the way the society converses and is empowering the gays more, giving them an identity and a trademark. As this language continues gradual evolution...

It will include examples of real firms which have been successful or failures as they employed one of the theories at their company. The conclusion will be a recommendation on which theory should be used with supportive details and an example of a company that validates the claim. First and Last Mover Theories The first-mover theory is all about being first to enter a new market which allows a business to gain the advantage over its rivals (First-Mover Advantage, 2014). This is true for developing new geographical or demographic markets for existing products or to introduce new products to an existing market. The first-mover theory advantages include the first one to the market gains defensible ground because it captures the market share much more easily without rivals. The first one to the market also has a leg in with the competition when it does come because the customer is already familiar with their product. The first one to the market also consolidates its position in order to compete more effectively. The first one to the market also captures the majority share and become the lower cost leader. Being first to the market also allows for many disadvantages (First-Mover Advantage, 2014). The first-mover theory disadvantages include that the mistakes the first...

...Granted a Last Meal One of the most controversial debates today is regarding the ability for death row inmates to order a last meal before execution. What sparked the debate most recently is when a man named Lawrence Russell Brewer, a death row inmate housed in a Texas prison, ordered a meat lovers pizza, two chicken fried steaks with gravy and fried onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños, a large bowl of fried okra and a side of ketchup, three fajitas, one pound of barbequed meat with a half of loaf of white bread, one triple patty cheeseburger, a pan of peanut butter fudge topped with crushed peanuts, three root beer drinks and one full pint of Blue Bell ice cream (Fernandez, Manny). After Lawrence Brewer ordered this huge feast, he did not even eat one bite. This extravagant meal was costly in many ways to taxpayers. Lawrence Brewer took his last opportunity to show the government, the victims, the family of the victims, and all people just how little he cared. Many people were disgusted by his arrogance and disdain, and others thought nothing, as though it were his right to order whatever his heart desired in the last hours before his death. The current debate runs deep. Normally a last meal requests are made approximately two weeks prior the scheduled execution. Why in the world would you treat a vicious murderer like a special celebrity two hours before they are to be executed? Conversely, why would you deny a person the comfort of having one last...

...SYNOPSIS OF THE LAST SUPPER ACCOUNTS Student’s Name Date In the New Testament, the Last Supper refers to the last meal that Jesus shared with his disciples on the night of his betrayal. This last meal mentioned in different terms in different texts. These terms include the Lord's Supper, Eucharist, communion and mass. The last supper serves as an encouragement and a unifying factor to Christians. It binds them in fellowship of love, trust and mutual acceptance. Sharing of the last supper is one of the orders that Jesus gave to his church. It is ideally Christian’s remembrance of Jesus, acknowledgement of his presence, confident hope in his second coming, fellowship with him and his people, self-examination, thanksgiving and gratitude. 1This paper explores the last supper event as presented by the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and 1st Corinthians. Historical Background of the Last Supper The last supper concept dates back to the early times in the Old Testament where Jews used to celebrate the Passover. The Passover ritual entailed an opening course where the paterfamilias spoke a blessing over the first cup of wine. The preliminary dish comprised green herbs, bitter herbs and a sauce made...

...The Last Supper and The Book Of Genesis Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the most prominent men in history and was the creator of many new ideas. He created many works of art and invented many new technologies that would be considered extreme for the time period. One of the biggest works of art he completed was “The Last Supper”. This painting, done in fresco, plays a significant role in Christianity and depicts Jesus with his disciples. Along with “The Last Supper”, The Book of Genesis was produced to influence belief on a group of individuals. These works of art are cemented in history and can be connected to each other by their significant individual affects on human existence. “The Last Supper” and the creation story in The Book of Genesis are connected to one another by theology and both share themes such as creationism and humanism. To understand how these individual pieces of work are connected to each other, one must first breakdown why these works of art were created. The Last Supper is one of the most thought-provoking and controversial works of Leonardo da Vinci. It is a mural painting, which means that it is directly painted on a wall, and is created by Leonardo in Milan from 1495 till 1498. Da Vinci painted it for his patron Duke Ludovico Sforza who decided that he wanted this religious scene painted. The Last Supper measures 15 feet × 29 feet and covers the back wall of the dining hall at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. Leonardo spent 3 years painting...
