...whether abortion is morally right or not. The argument follows the opinions generated from the religious followers who are mostly against abortion. Child abandonment, infanticide, and abortion were allowed under the Roman law during the times of Jesus (Bokenkotter 1990). It is surprising to find that Jesus never addressed the case since for Christians to read. Even if He did, it was never documented. This concern can make a Christian fail to know whether abortion is condemned by God or not. From the Bible, there is no clear evidence on whether abortion is moral or immoral. However, drawing lessons from some of the verses in the bible clearly indicates that the practice of abortion violates the moral obligations. A good example is from the book of Jeremiah in the Bible, in chapter one from verse four to five, which say that before the birth of Jeremiah, the Lord had consecrated him. The Load had already chosen prophet Jeremiah to be a famous prophet to the nations. God Himself new Jeremiah as a human being before birth and considered him to live in order to carry out His mission. God could not have allowed Jeremiah to die. Biblically it is immoral to kill. However, the scientific view on abortion may be different from the biblical view. The scientists have argued that although abortion termed immorally; the criticism is not evidence based. Their view is that, however much a fetus is considered a human being; it may not be true. The reason is that the fetus may not be like you and...

...| Abortion vs. Child Birth | An Individual’s Cost and the Cost to Society | | | Abortion vs. Child Birth An Individual’s Cost and the Cost to Society “The ability of women to participate equally in the economic and social life of the nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives.” Justice Sandra Day O’Connor (Boonstra, et al., 2006, p.6) Introduction “A woman typically spends roughly five years pregnant, postpartum or trying to become pregnant and three decades trying to avoid pregnancy.” (Boonstra, et al., 2006 p.6) This is more true today than any other time in history. The role women have played throughout history has been that of nuturer. In society today, she must also be provider. With this added duty placed on her, today’s women have had to adjust. One of these adjustments are the number of children she is willing and able to provide for. Advancements in technology in the past century has enabled her to control this, specifically abortion and the use of contraceptives. Hypothesis Changing roles in the family unit have caused the dynamic to change. Women have become the sole provider to the family in many households forcing them to earn a living as well as take care of the children. Conflicting sets of moral and ethical values within society have made their choices more difficult. By controlling which options she has availible, is society choosing for her? When does a specific...

Explore the claim that a consumer society is always a ‘throw-away’ society. In this essay I will attempt to explore the claim stated above that a consumer society is always a ‘throw-away’ society and find examples to support this. Before beginning to explore the claim stated above, it is important to understand what is meant by a ‘consumer society’. Many social scientists state that we live in times of a consumer which means “a label use to refer to a society which is defined as much by how and what people purchase and use, as by what they make or do.” (Hetherington, 2009, p.13). Consumerism is a form of socialisation evolving from the Industrial Revolution and it has continued to evolve through the decades to the present day. With so many produces being so readily available it seems there are a number of...

...Study Center Sydney Faculty of Business Assessment item- 3 Class: ECO130– Business Economics Lecturer- Dr. Harpreet Kaur Student Name- Sidharth Shanker Student Number -11511309 Due Date - 30/09/2014 Answer-1 Frictional unemployment occurs when people seek new jobs or when they decide to switch their existing jobs (Deepashree & Agarwal, 2006, p.7.4). In other words frictional unemployment is the time required for people to search for a new job. Frictional unemployment is usually short-term and does not affect the public policies or social welfare. In contrast, structural unemployment is occurred as a result of people’s inability to match their skills with existing job opportunities. The reasons for structural unemployment could be the changes in structure of the nation’s economy, which is a result of changing tastes and demand conditions or from changed production processes. Finally, cyclical unemployment occurs mostly during recessions when there is a lack of job opportunities (Arnold, 2013, p.140). Full employment occurs when the economy operates at an unemployment rate which is equal to the sum of seasonal, frictional and structural unemployment rate. In other words full unemployment could also be defined as the unemployment rate in an economy without the cyclical unemployment. This is because cyclical unemployment varies with the business cycles (Hall & Lieberman, 2012, p.556). Furthermore, even when the economy is at full employment there...

...The following will examine the article The Conundrum of Visibility: Youth safety and the Internet, written by Danah Boyd and Alice Marwick. The Internet is obviously a remarkable tool and has drastically changed and shaped the society we live in today. With all the good the Internet has brought to our lives, there is always a trade off or a negative outcome. Many adults are claiming that the Internet has a very bad influence on today’s youth since it is exposing them to sexual solicitation, harassment/bullying and exposure to inappropriate content. However, the main issue of this article is stating that the claims of the adults are not new to society and that these problems have been around for quite a long time and the Internet is just making these problems more visible. The article is stating that the Internet is making the claims of the adults visible to them and the reason why adults are blaming the Internet for these issues is because they are scared and do not know how to protect their children. They are focusing too much on technology and losing focus on the bigger picture. Society does not have the resources to help the youth that are in need and therefore we tend to look for something to blame, and choose to blame the internet. The article goes on to explain four main issues that come up in conversation when discussing online safety: sexual solicitation, harassment, exposure to inappropriate content and youth-generated problematic content, and is trying to prove that...

...| | When compared to other industrialised countries the US has one of the most significant homicide rates and crime rates. According to statistics published by the UN in 2010 the probability of being of a homicide victim is more than five times greater in the US than in the Netherlands and close to three times greater than in Canada. However in spite of these statistics and contrary to general public perception the United States have experienced a continued decline of its crime rates since the second half of the 1990’s. In 2010 there were 5.4 homicides per 100,000 persons compared to 9.8 in 1991 at its peak according to the US Bureau of Statistics (2004). Similarly, other statistics[1] published annually by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Justice statistics[2] have highlighted that violent crimes and property crimes rates have gradually declined, on average, in the US from their height in the beginning of the 1990’s to a low point in 2004 and continues to further decrease in spite of the current economic crisis. One would have expected that the recession would have ended this virtuous circle but instead “crimes of violence began going down in 2007, falling 0.7 percent that year and then an additional 1.9 percent in 2008. The trend accelerated [in 2009] with a 5.5 percent reduction in overall crime ...” (Jerry Markon, The Washington Post...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY. Pregnancy is the state of being pregnant. It is also defied as a situation where by a woman or female animal having a baby or an egg or a young animal developed inside her baby. Unwanted pregnancy on the other hand means the pregnancy which occurs as a result of illegal in evolvement in sexual intercourse by both sexes. It is said to be unwanted or illegal because both sexes have not been legally united either by law or Religions doctrine or authorities under the caption of marriage. Abortion is believed to be a deliberate ending or termination of a pregnancy at an early state. Marriage is said to be a relationship between a husband and a wife to live or co-husband as such for life Thus early marriage could be seen as any marriage contracted unintentionally or that which is contracted by way of duress or undue influence. Unfortunately, most young girls in secondary school in Nigeria today see to it that sex is a golden slice or a do or die affair and as such when at their dangerous stages or period, they still fail to keep boys or man at arm’s length which at long last leads to unexpected pregnancy. Hence proper arrangements or precautionary measure not put in place as regards such pregnancies. The next idea as the only option that readily come to their winds at this point is abortion through any means which most of the time take their lives or endanger lives in such situations. Norststill, most girls in secondary...

...What Are The Causes of Unwanted Pregnancy In Teens? Imagine someone telling you that you don't matter and you don't have the right to exist, well 1 out of 4 babies conceived are aborted in the United States. Teenage Pregnancy has become an epidemic in which 1 million pregnancies are reported each year and 35% have an abortion. It troubled me to see these numbers and I began to inquiry what are the causes of Unwanted Pregnancy? According to National Abortion Federation (www.prochoice.org) many of the youngest women in this group (70% of those ages 13 or under) reports having had sex forced on them. By the time they turn 20, about 40% of American women have been pregnant at least once. Many of these young women have little understanding of their bodies and have begun having sexual intercourse before knowing about ways to prevent pregnancy. Of teenage women who become pregnant, about 35% choose to have an abortion rather than bear a child because of no desire to have one. Teenager’s today live in the fantasy of things, they believe in what they see, In modern society mass media reign, no longer is Maya Angelou or a book relevant; teenagers look up to music videos and reality shows to dictate their lives. Shows like MTV “Teen Mom, a show that follows the lives of young teenage mothers, the show portrays the “hardships and difficulty of young motherhood” sounds positive right, well due to the show the teenage parents are all over magazines and T.V scene becoming celebritize, no...

...idea and the budget are settled, event managers begin coordinating with sponsors and performers, arranging travel, security, and accommodation for the stars if there is a show. They also have to supervise ticket and stage design, arrange music, sound and lights, and look into those numerous details that go into making an event successful. Security is another big issue that is dealt with by event managers. In India [ Images ], shows usually have to end before midnight at the latest, even earlier in some places. Event managers have to ensure that events conclude on time, and in case they stretch beyond the permitted hours, they have to handle the police and the local bureaucracy. Bad security could ruin an otherwise well-organised event. Unwanted guests, stampedes, fights, and harassment of performers are a few things event managers have to tackle during public events. Segments like music, culture, sports, fashion shows, Bollywood-based shows and award ceremonies are emerging as the main growth drivers in the sector. "Sports management is not very well known in India. Cricket being the dominant sport, event management usually centers around it," says Rehan Shaik, group consultant in Advent, a Lintas event management company. He says event management in sports is usually long term and something, which companies in India do not understand, and even if they are interested it is usually related to cricket. "For example, Castrol withdrew its support to the Indian Hockey Federation...

...Smartphone Security Survey of U.S. consumers Sponsored by AVG Technologies Independently conducted by Ponemon Institute LLC Publication Date: March 2011 Ponemon Institute© Research Report Smartphone Security Survey of U.S. Consumers Ponemon Institute, March 2011 Part 1. Introduction Ponemon Institute is pleased to present the findings of the Smartphone Security Survey: A Study of U.S. Consumers sponsored by AVG Technologies. The goal of the research is to determine consumers’ perceptions about the potential privacy and security risks when using their smartphones. In addition, we wanted to learn if participants in our study care about these risks and if they take security precautions. We surveyed 734 consumers who are 18 years and older and own a smartphone. The risks that we address in our survey concern location tracking, transmission of confidential payment without the user’s knowledge or consent, diallerware (specialized malware unique to smartphones), spyware, viruses from insecure WiFi networks and others. What we learned is that most of the consumers in our study are using their smartphones without understanding that they are exposing their sensitive information to the risks listed above. We also believe the findings of this study signal a potential security risk for organizations because so many consumers surveyed use their smartphones for both business and personal use. With business confidential information stored on these smartphones, organizations should...
