According to one commentary, "we ought to be sure that real, not just symbolic harm results from youthful pursuit of disapproved pleasures and messages before mandating indecency laws and other restrictive regimes" (Platt, 2001:45). For many censorship is considered simply bias, a move by those who are disinterested in the idea of freedom of expression (Borchgrave, 2003)
Lord of the Flies was also considered "demoralizing in as much as it implies that a man is little more than an animal" according to parents challenging the book in Dallas Teas in an independent high school district (Abula, 1996). There are those that argue that kids should be able to discern the difference between fantasy and reality, thus it is difficult to justify censorship (Platt, 2001)
According to the cognitive theory, an individual can be able to encourage or unlock new ways and [patters of thinking through meditation. The cognitive theory gained a lot of stronghold between 1980's and 1990s (Fritscher, 2014)
This is usually a very brief therapy whereby results can be achieved as fast as after a few sessions. It is also used to treat PTSD and addictions as well (Gonzalez-Prendes, & Resko, 2009)
In several instances, people are one's most valuable resources, and a sharing of information between educators can prove highly influential in the spread of knowledge and techniques for the improvement of learning. Such environments, in which "teachers support each other" via "collegial networks across schools" (Copland, Knapp, 2006, p
What appears as one of the most efficacious learning systems for a reflective practitioner to utilize then is known as double-loop learning, in which learning systems are regularly reflected upon and analyzed to find varying methodologies in which they can be improved. In all actuality, double loop learning relates heavily to Schon's theories about the transformative nature of learning systems, for the simple fact that it allows one "to question governing variables" (Smith, 2009) of a particular learning system itself
The following quotation proves that the apathy that typifies the young man's spirit is extremely palpable on his first night in the camps. "Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky…Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live" (Wiesel 32)
The peripheral nervous system is responsible for carrying nerve impulses to and from the body. The central nervous system therefore integrates information while the peripheral nervous system transmits both sensory and motor signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body (Farr, 2002)
The inheritance of these genes which produce these behavior tendencies does not guarantee that these behaviors will actually occur in an individual. These genes affect the development of the nervous and endocrine system and how they operate which in turn influences the likelihood of the occurrence of a certain behavior under certain circumstances (Powell, 2014)
If the Fed wants to increase the money supply, it contacts its broker and announces it wants to buy $100,000 of government securities. One reason that the Fed may lower the reserve ratio requirement is to increase bank lending (Epstein, 2002)
Since the monopoly has been, one presumes, the only or one of the only firms offering a specific good or service for some time, any competitors may not see entry into the area as a viable option, since the monopoly holds a considerable amount of the existing market share. This leads to a cycle, in which the monopoly continues to be a monopoly, while any prospective competition is thwarted (Consigliore, 1996)
Wal-Mart can then sell those products at drastically reduced prices to consumers, and still make a higher profit than those of other, competing retailers. Smaller locally owned stores cannot compete, and their business fails (Fishman, 2003)
Since the monopoly firm already has control over the market, it is unlikely they will continue to research or develop improved methods of production, or improved products (Hennesy, 1998). As a matter of fact, a recent study of monopolies showed that a monopoly will only implement a superior technology change if that change is seven times more efficient than the old technology (Parente and Prescott, 1999)
The definition can also be applied to any situation in which a company or supplier has considerable power over the pricing structure of the market in which they exist. These situations tend to be present in areas such as natural resource distribution, or in companies that hold exclusive rights over specific copyrights, such as drug companies (Rea, 2003)
In Chapter Two, she writes, "According to Sinita, Trujillo became president in a sneaky way. First, he was in the army, and all the people who were above him kept disappearing until he was the head of the whole armed forces" (Alvarez 17)
Another historian notes, "Trujillo had prisons set up throughout the island with torture cells that became infamous for the horrors that occurred within. Opponents to his regime were dealt with swiftly and brutally, usually succumbing to death from the effects of torture or disease, if not assassinated" (Brown 31)
Other true historical accounts paint an even darker picture of the man and his effect on his country. "In 1937, the Dominican dictator, Trujillo, gave the order for the massacre of over 25,000 Haitians on the Dominican side of the border, as part of his plan to 'lighten' the skin of his country" (Wucker 82)
As Foot stated in making her case, "merely being alive even without suffering is not a good…." (Foot, p
Accordingly, HP acquired a networking equipment producer in 3 Com for nearly $3 billion dollars, and acquired AppIQ for storage management: moves that dovetailed with the growth strategy for the HP Technology Systems Group. According to industry sources, HP has plans for more acquisitions in the infrastructure software arena, which would likely include security software companies, storage software makers, and software companies that serve the blade server market (Makri, 2012)
The technology sector has been notoriously cavalier about sourcing precious metals. Many firms buy raw materials sourced from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where atrocities have become part of doing business and armed groups "earn some $185 million a year by controlling access to more than half the mines and collecting bribes and illicit taxes along trade routes" (Zax, 2013)
