...Part A The authors examine the implications of the Solow model for convergence in the living standards, that is, for whether rich countries tend to grow slower than poor countries. The findings of the study indicate that the augmented Solow model can forecast accurately the rate of convergence of different countries while keeping the growth of population and capital accumulation constant. The authors states that two variables, that is, rates of saving and population growth of a country, can be used to determine the country’s steady-state level of income per capita. This model predicts that higher the rate of population growth of a country, poorer is the country and on the other hand, higher the rate of saving, richer is the country (Edward Gamber, 2006). Overall, the findings reported in this paper shows doubt on the recent style among the economists to abandon the Solow model growth in the favor of endogenous-growth models which assume steady or growing returns to scale in capital. The author argues about the fact that the predictions of the Solow model are firstly to an approximation, consistent with the evidence and by examining the current data for a large set of countries we also find that saving and population growth affect income the same way the Solow model predicted. Moreover, more than half of the country variation in income per capital can be explained by these two variables alone. And also it can be added that even the Solow model can predict the direction of effects...

...Analyzing Second-hand Smoke – Ignored Implications by Dr. Zahid Naeem Jennifer L. Pendley Kaplan University Abstract The article by Dr. Zahid Naeem, Second-hand Smoke – Ignored Implications, targets an audience of parents and current smokers. The purpose of his article is to inform the audience of the dangers of second-hand smoke. Dr. Naeem uses multiple strategies to develop his key points within the article by effectively communicating the information to his audience. Analyzing Second-hand Smoke – Ignored Implications by Dr. Zahid Naeem Dr. Zahid Naeem’s article addresses the hazards of smoking and emphasizes the dangers of second-hand smoke. Dr. Naeem writes his article primarily to address parents of young children and current smokers by providing information in a statistical format. He quantifies the dangers that second-hand smoke poses to the physical health of those who come into contact with it. While a very informative article, one cannot overlook the slight element of persuasion used by Dr. Naeem to urge smokers, if not to quit smoking altogether, to at least be courteous to those who may be affected by second-hand smoke. Dr. Naeem’s article covering second-hand smoke can be summarized into three main ideas. The first point that Dr. Naeem articulates is the magnitude of complications that smoking and second-hand smoke can cause (Naeem, 2015, para 1). Secondly, Dr. Naeem expresses that second-hand smoke is every bit as hazardous as smoking is itself (Naeem, 2015...

...The Religion of Man Doyle W. Upchurch World Civilizations HIS 103 Jay Keever October 31, 2012 The Religion of Man Throughout time there have been different types of religions. There have been conflicts, battles and even wars, between families, clans and nations over religion. Religion has had a hand in changing the face of this world for millions of years and a hand in the development of nations. Religion has been and still is one of the most controversial subjects known to man. Paleolithic cave art was closely linked to the ‘conceptual discovery’ of the symbolic and religious world of primitive peoples. This denied any hint of symbolic and intellectual complexity among hunter-gatherers, made it impossible to fit such art within a ‘savage’ society. It was only when this idea of progress became more flexible, in parallel with the discovery and more precise definition of the symbolic–religious world of primitive people, that the prehistoric chronology of the parietal depictions could be accepted. (Eduardo Palacio-Perez, 2010) Prehistorians defined the decorated objects, as crafts, a ‘lesser art’ aimed at decoration, characteristic of traditional and primitive societies, in contrast with the ‘fine arts’ associated with the expression of the aesthetic ideals of civilized mankind. Clearly, with such a restricted conception of Paleolithic art, there was no room for the parietal depictions. However, does the key for the recognition of the age of cave art lie in the discovery...

...Social Impact Paper: Hajj assisting the poor There are five pillars of Islam, we will engage with two of them: Hajj and Zakah. Ishaq Zahid describes the Hajj as “a pilgrimage to Mecca It is one of the five pillars of Islam. The Hajj was made obligatory in the 9th year of Hijra. The Holy Prophet sent off 300 Muslims under the leadership of Hazrat Abubakr Siddique (may Allah be pleased with him) to Mecca so that they could perform Hajj.” He further states,” This pilgrimage is an obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to do so. Nevertheless, over two million people go to Mecca each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those of different nations to meet one another.” Hajj has been made a pinnacle of worship in order that Muslims who gather to perform Hajj can praise their Lord and Master, be thankful for His blessings, and humbly pray to Him for the removal of their difficulties. Muslims living in various parts of the world get to know each other, lay the foundation of social culture, give advice to each other, and provide opportunity for collective struggle (Zahid). Next we will examine another pillar, Zakah. This is the is the compulsory giving of a set proportion of one's wealth to charity. It is regarded as a type of worship and of self-purification. Zakah does not refer to charitable gifts given out of kindness or generosity, but to the systematic giving of 2.5% of one's wealth each year to benefit the...

...MR. ZAHID RAFI, the General Manager of MUHAMMAD RAFI GARMENT INDUSTRIES (PVT) LTD, Lahore Pakistan was trying to implement a management information system. He was facing resistance from Mr. Kashif, his most senior Supervisor. MR. ZAHID RAFI wondered what he could do to overcome this resistance. Company Background Westward Exports was an exporter of ladies cotton garments. It was a private company established in 1971. It was a family run business and all four directors were brothers. Over the past fourteen years the exports of the company had grown from Rs. 0.71 million in 1972-73 to Rs. 59.76 million in 1984. Almost 90% of the exports went to USA. It owned no manufacturing facility of any kind. It purchased cotton cloth from six different textile mills and had the cloth dyed and printed. This fabric was then passed on to 138 stitching subcontractors. The company had been expanding the product line over the years and by 1983 it was exporting about one million garments in over one hundred basic designs. The 100 designs were presented in a large of fabric types, shades, designs and sizes. When seen in the context that the company had to get all these things done through subcontractors, the managerial control of the operations became quite challenging. The directors who had always been actively involved in each and every aspect of the business, and made all the decisions by themselves, felt the heat of changing situations. They appreciated the problem and decided...

...PENGALAMAN DAN KARAKTERISTIK SUFISME JALALUDDIN RUMI Sufisme adalah suatu ilmu yang mempelajari cara bagaimana seorang muslim dapat berada sedekat mungkin dengan Allah Swt. Adapun kesadaran berada dekat dengan Tuhan dapat diambil dari berbagai bentuk sesuai dengan kondisi sufi itu sendiri. Yakni bisa berbentuk ma'rifah, mahabbah, ittihad, hulul maupun wihdah al-wujud. Untuk mencapai tujuannya, seorang sufi harus menempuh jalan panjang, di antaranya melalui al-zuhd, yaitu keadaan meninggalkan dunia dan hidup kematerian. Apabila dilihat dari luasnya wawasan dan tajamnya penglihatan pandangan seorang Jalaluddin Rumi, dari tema-tema universal yang diangkat dalam setiap baris karyanya dan dari cara mengungkapkan pikiran dalam bahasa puisi yang sarat simbol, tak dapat kita pungkiri bahwa bahwa Rumi adalah seorang yang jenius sebagaimana diungkapkan Erich Fromm: "Dua ratus tahun sebelum pemikiran humanisme renaisance, Rumi telah mendahului mengemukakan ide-ide tentang toleransi agama yang dapat ditemukan pada Erasmus dan Nicholas De Cusa, dan ide-ide tentang cinta sebagai tenaga kreatif yang fundamental sebagai yang dikemukakan oleh Facini... Rumi bukan saja seorang penyair dan mistikus (sufi) serta pendiri Tarekat; tetapi ia juga seorang manusia yang mengetahui secara mendalam tabiat-tabiat manusia.” Lalu bagaimana dengan pengalaman dan karakteristik sufi seorang Jalaluddin Rumi? Melalui syair-syair dan puisi yang ia tulis, sebagian orang menganggap ia sebagai pelopor yang menghidupkan...

Causes of poverty are diverse but unemployment and wages below minimum are the most commonly known causes of poverty. It is unfortunate that some people inherit poverty, thus people born in particular social groups defined by race or location where poverty is prominent.

Noticeable effects of poverty on families include stress on bread-winners of the family and on children.

Parents living under poverty conditions find it very hard to provide the basic needs such clothing, shelter and food needed for a decent living,” about 330,000 people, roughly the population of Windsor, turn to food banks every month in Ontario” (Par Health Nexus Santé).

Anxiety and frustration due to failure to provide generates a sense of less self-worthy and causes sleepless nights to parents.

...motion? Too often it is said, “Poverty is a choice, it’s their fault” and this could not be further from the truth. One of the most difficult issues around generational poverty is the way it is viewed by society and the other is the way political parties pass the buck back and forth. These views keep the issue stuck in the problematic zone, where no one is accountable and nothing can be done. (Search for Clarity and Truth. Pitts, S., Conservative. Kalamaya, R., Liberal.). So once the buck stops, if it stops at all, only then can the causes can be addressed. Where exactly does poverty stem from and what are the barriers that prevent people from escaping this inheritance? In his article “Poverty, Family Stress and Parenting”, Dr. Zahid Shahab Ahmed carefully describes, in depth, the challenges of poverty, its impacts and the cycle. The misconception that people who are in generational poverty...
