Reaction Paper About Monetary Policy - 3087 Words

1. SOCIOLOGY is the ordered, logical study of human society and its origins, development, organizations, and institutions. It is a social science which uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about human social activity, structures, and functions. A goal for many sociologists is to conduct research which may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, while others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes. Subject matter ranges from the micro level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and the social structure. The traditional focuses of sociology include social stratification, social class, culture,†¦show more content†¦Both Auguste Comte and Karl Marx set out to develop scientifically justified systems in the wake of Europeanindustrialization and secularization, informed by various key movements in the philosophies of history and science. Marx rejected Comtean positivism but in attempting to develop a science of societynevertheless came to be recognized as a founder of sociology as the word gained wider meaning. For Isaiah Berlin, Marx may be regarded as the true father of modern sociology, in so far as anyone can claim the title. Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903) was one of the most popular and influential 19th century sociologists. It is estimated that he sold one million books in his lifetime, far more than any other sociologist at the time. So strong was his influence that many other 19th century thinkers, including Émile Durkheim, defined their ideas in relation to his. Durkheim’s Division of Labour in Society is to a large extent an extended debate with Spencer from whose sociology, many commentators now agree, Durkheim borrowed extensively. Also a notable biologist, Spencer coined the term survival of the fittest. Whilst Marxian ideas defined one strand of sociology, Spencer was a critic of socialism as well as strong advocate for a laissez-faire style of government. His ideas were highly observed by conservative political circles, especially in the United States andShow MoreRelatedMonetary Policy Should Consider Asset Prices944 Words   |  4 PagesTo look into the is sue of whether monetary policy should consider asset prices in particular their appreciation, we lay out a model in which we corporate a role for asset prices in particular bubbles.

Malcolm X Views on Racism Free Essays

Malcolm X views on Racism† English II Ms. Taylor June 18, 2009 Malcolm Little (aka Malcolm X) viewed racism in America as dehumanizing to African Americans and that African Americans were treated with indifference and discrimination. During his lifetime, Malcolm X experienced firsthand how racism affected the lives of African Americans including himself, his family and friends. We will write a custom essay sample on Malcolm X Views on Racism or any similar topic only for you Order Now With some of his first encounters with whites being so terrifying and horrific the firsthand experience was the beginning of his views on how America allowed such treatment to exist. Malcolm X lived during a period in American history when racism and civil rights were at the forefront. This essay will explain what led to his views of racism in America and how his views changed. It will also explain why he embraced the Nation of Islam Muslim organization which works toward the change for the better of African Americans in an array of areas, including spiritual, financial, and social. I will argue why he left the Nation of Islam after he helped strengthen the Nation of Islam membership. Malcolm lost his father Earl Little when he was six years old. Earl Little was viciously beaten by a white mob and run over by a trolley in Lansing, Michigan (Bloom, 2008). The death of his father divided his family. After the father’s death, Malcolm’s mother, Louise Little, struggled to raise him and his seven siblings. The pressure of trying to raise eight children on welfare and the horrific death of her husband, Louise Little eventually had a nervous breakdown and was ultimately institutionalized. Malcolm and his siblings were then separated and placed in orphanages. For Malcolm, the role the state agency plays in breaking up his family became symbolic of how deeply racism is ingrained in society and its institutions. He stated â€Å"I truly believe that if ever a state social agency destroyed a family, it destroyed ours. We wanted and tried to stay together. Our home didn’t have to be destroyed. † (Bloom, 2008). From this point racist social barriers and Malcolm’s own sense of rebellion threw Malcolm into the criminal world as he became partially, broken by imperialism (Wood, 1992). The aforementioned encounters began molding Malcolm’s views on racism in America. As a youth Malcolm was sent to a detention home in Mason, Michigan the home was run by a white family the Swerlins. He had expected the worst due to his past experiences with whites but he was surprised to find that they were kind and generous. Malcolm then started feeling as though he was there mascot. The Swerlins and their friends would talk freely about â€Å"niggers,† using hurtful language, as though he wasn’t there. From here he went to another detention home. Once he was released he went to go live with his sister Ella where he continued to hang around people who were a bad influence on him. It wasn’t before long Malcolm was back in jail his one last hustle with two white women and a friend landed him back in jail for burglary. â€Å"His court appointed lawyer was appalled to see white women being lured into crime by black men and told him he had no business messing around with white girls! †(Helfer, 2006). While in prison Malcolm was introduced to the Nation of Islam (NOI) by his brother Reginald who visited him often. During his time in prison he recalled all the white people he’d encountered. â€Å"In one way or another he felt they all used blacks to better their own lives leaving blacks living under the same or worse conditions as before†(Helfer, 2006). Malcolm began to read a variety of books morning and night, he felt that knowledge was the ammuniton needed to fight the battle against the white devil whom he blamed for his wasted years. Malcolm also developed a relationship with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad through mail correspondence. After corresponding back and forth for a considerable length of time, Elijah Muhammad provided Malcolm with instructions of how he could enter into the Nation Of Islam. Malcolm commited himself whole heartedly to the Nation Of Islam and was welcomed into the brotherhood. â€Å"The teachings of the Nation of Islam that he receives in prison effect a further change in both Malcolm’s character and his view of white people. He simultaneously abandons his wild past and embraces a systematic hatred of whites† (Bloom, 2008). After his release from prison Malcolm continued to embrace the Nation of Islam which worked toward the improvement of African Americans in an array of areas including spiritual guidance, financial independence, and social skills. At this time Malcolm was given the X to replace his last name because Elijah Muhammad believed that Little was a slave name. Malcolm seen the Nation of Islam as a place that gave his life purpose and a sense of pride for African Americans. Soon after Malcolm’s last name changing he became a minister for the Nation of Islam. He would become very well known for his eloquent speeches and his ability to persuade others. During the time of his ministry, some of Malcolm’s close friends were murdered at mosques in Louisiana and New York that were apparently raided by white police officers for no reason. These unjust and tragic events angered Malcolm. This tragic act caused Malcolm’s first disagreement with the Nation Of Islam, because he felt that the Nation Of Islam should defend itself more aggressively over this tragedy. After this, Malcolm began to question the beliefs and philosophy of the Nation of Islam. His faith was soon crushed after he discovered that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, whom he believed was a prophet, was secretly having relations with as many as six women whom were members of the Nation of Islam. Malcolm was so devastated by this deception and blatant hypocrisy he soon terminated his membership in the Nation Of Islam and founded the Muslim Mosque, Inc. After establishing his own Muslim organization, Malcolm took a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia which changed his opinion about whites. Malcolm greatly expanded his views on race in America by integrating the wisdom he gained from his travel to Mecca. The trip opened Malcolm’s eyes to see that Muslim’s come in all different races and genders. The trip proved life altering, as Malcolm met â€Å"blonde-haired, blued-eyed men I could call my brothers†(Wood, 1992). He returned to the United States with a new outlook on integration and a profound truth that all white people weren’t racist and evil people. After my research it validated my prior assumptions about Malcolm X himself being racist while under the teachings of Elijah Muhammad. His views changed about racism in America that he could also call a white man his brother as well as a black man. He realized you should judge the individual not an entire race of people as a whole but only the individuals that display or encourage acts of racism. References Alkalimat, A.

Solubility of potassium chlorate Essay Example

Solubility of potassium chlorate Essay My plan is to find the determination of solubility curve of potassium chlorate.PredictionMy prediction is to find that the solubility of potassium chlorate (kClO3) increases as the temperature increases.ApparatusThe apparatus that I used during the experiment were* Bunsen burner* Tripod* Gauze* Safety goggles* Heat resistance mat* A boiling tube* A test tube rack* Thermometer* Burette* Two glass beakers* Two grams of potassium chlorateSafety measuresWear safety goggles and lab coat.When do the experiment stand up dont sit down.Use caution when dealing with chemicals.Hot boiling tubes and beakers can cause burns.Do not move around the lab during the experiment (stay at your work station)Scientific information on solubilityThe solubility of a solute in a solvent at a given temperature is the number of gram of that solute which can dissolve in 100g of solvent to produce a saturated solution at that temperature. In this experiment I will see how the solubility of potassium chlorate (KClO 3) changes as the temperatures changes.ProcedureI will explain my procedure in bullet points* Set up the Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze and the rest etc. as shown on the diagram sheet.* Put 2 grams of potassium chlorate into a boiling tube.* Add 4ccm of distilled water from the burette. ( the burette is more accurate to use)* Place the boiling tube in boiling water and allow the solid to dissolve.* Remove the tube from the boiling water when the KClO3 is dissolved.* Stir the contents with a thermometer record the temperature at which the KClO3 crystals first reappear.* Add another 4ccm distilled water from the burette to the boiling tube and stir the contents with the thermometer and record the temperature at which the first KClO3 crystals reappear.* Repeat this step another three times using the same boiling tube.* Then take another boiling tube and add 2 grams of potassium chlorate and repeat the whole experiment in same way to obtain a second set of results.DiagramCalculationsSolub ility (g/100g of water) = mass of solute (g) x 100Mass of water2/4 x 100 = 502/8 x 100 = 252/12 x 100 = 16.672/16 x 100 = 12.52/20 x 100 = 10 average temp = (temp1 + temp2)Results and also see my graphMass of KClOVolume of water ccmSolubility g/100 ccm waterTemperature(`c) at whichcrystals reappearTemperature(`c) at which crystals reappearAverage temperature(`c)2g4ccm50g/100ccm91 `c92 `c91.5 `c2g8ccm25g/100ccm59 `c55 `c57 `c2g12ccm16.67g/100ccm45 `c42 `c43.5 `c2g16ccm12.5g/100ccm33`c31 `c32 `c2g20ccm10g/100ccm25 `c27 `c26 `cConclusionFrom performing this experiment I have found that the solubility of potassium chlorate (KClO3) increases as temperature increases. Every thing happened as I predicted it.I also concluded that most solids that dissolve in water behave like potassium chlorate, although the amount that dissolves will be different.EvaluationAfter doing the experiment and concluding that the solubility of potassium chlorate increases when temperature increases and also findi ng that other solids behave like this I feel that the experiment was successful. By using accurate apparatus like the burette and thermometer I believe that I have obtained reliable results. By also repeating to get a second set of results and finding the averages has also made my results reliable. From the graph I can clearly see it is a solubility curve as is should have drawn a line of best fit to suit my results.There are also other experiments that could be done to obtain results for the solubility of potassium chlorate and surely the same conclusion would be drawn up. But I think that the experiment I did was not so accurate but reliable enough.

USA World Bank Paper

USA World Bank Paper In recent years, the banking industry has experienced tremendous pressure to expand its market share globally. As a result, USA World Bank (UWB) is introducing more effective products and services to its customers. Competition has made selecting a successful product considerably more difficult than previous years; therefore, creating an exceptional and profitable product has become very challenging. UWB is a global organization that must create products to improve profitability and increase its market share. This analysis will identify challenges and opportunities, business goals, and potential problems preventing the successful launch of UWB's strategic goals.Scenario Background USA World Bank is a major player in the banking industry. Boasting both a large consumer and small business customer base, UWB has experienced marginal success on recent initiatives. UWB's President of New Product Development feels the pressure to present a product to the Board of Directors that will have si gnificant impact on the firm's earnings (University of Phoenix [UOP], 2007).Product Development TechnologiesBased upon the decision to introduce a new product, UWB's leadership team is now in the midst of deciding whether it would be more beneficial to focus on the consumer or small business market. As a result, the executive team has come up with two options: offer an instant reward credit card for consumers. Similar to a frequent flier program, an instant reward consumer credit card would collaborate with airlines, hotels, and retailers enticing the cardholder to make purchases with UWB credit card. The second option is the small business credit card with a $200,000 credit limit for capital purchases, offering discounted interest rates and incentive rewards.Mary Monroe, Vice President of New Product Development, and Jim Wilson, the Vice President of Marketing Development presented their products to the executive staff. The executive staff supported both Mary's Instant Rewards and Brian's Small...

List of Obama Gun Control Measures and Executive Orders

List of Obama Gun Control Measures and Executive Orders President Barack Obamas record on gun control is a fairly weak one, even though he was often portrayed  as the most anti-gun president in American history and called for more regulations in the wake of the numerous mass shootings that occurred during his two terms in office. We do not have to accept this carnage as the price of freedom, Obama said in 2016. The National Rifle Association once claimed Obamas obsession with gun control knows no boundaries. Did You Know? Only two gun laws made it through Congress during Obamas two terms in office, and neither placed additional restrictions on gun owners.   In fact, the two gun laws signed by Obama actually expanded the rights of gun owners in the United States. Attempts to limit the size of gun magazines, expand background checks of gun buyers and ban gun sales to buyers on terrorism watch lists all failed to pass under Obama. Perhaps the most significant Obama gun control measure was not a law but a rule that required the Social Security Administration to report disability-benefit recipients with mental health conditions to the FBI’s background check system, which is used to screen firearm buyers. Obamas successor, Republican President Donald Trump, rescinded the rule in 2017. Obama Gun ControlProposals Had No Teeth That is not to say Obama was not critical of the use of guns to commit the numerous mass shootings and acts of terrorism during his tenure in the White House. Quite the opposite. Obama sharply criticized the gun lobby and the easy access to firearms. President Barack Obama pauses during a meeting to observe a moment of silence for Sandy Hook Victims. Pete Souza/Wikimedia Commons Obama also made curtailing gun violence a central theme of his  second-term agenda  after the  mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School  in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012. The president signed  executive orders  calling for mandatory  criminal background checks on gun-buyers  and several other measures that were unpopular in Congress including  a ban on assault weapons  and high-capacity magazines. But he was unable to win passage of  new laws and insisted authorities do more to enforce measures already on the books. Executive Actions Not Executive Orders Critics, however, point to Obamas issuance of 23 executive actions on gun violence in January 2016 as proof that the Democratic president was anti-gun. What most fail to point out is that those executive actions contained no new laws or regulations; and they were not executive orders, which are different than executive actions.   For all the pomp and ceremony, nothing in the president’s proposals is going to put a dent in U.S. gun crime or even substantially change the federal legal landscape.  In that sense, apoplectic opponents and overjoyed supporters are both probably overreacting, wrote  Adam Bates, a  policy analyst with the libertarian Cato Institutes Project on Criminal Justice. Gun Laws Signed by Obama Expanded Rights During his first term, Obama didnt call for any major new restriction on guns or gun owners. Instead, he urged authorities to enforce the state and federal laws already on the books.  In fact, Obama signed only two major laws that address how guns are carried in America, and both actually expand the rights of gun owners. One of the laws allows gun owners to carry weapons in national parks; that law took effect in February 2012 and replaced President Ronald Reagans policy of required guns be locked in glove compartments of trunks of cars that enter national parks. Another gun law signed by Obama allows Amtrak passengers to carry guns in checked baggage, a move that reversed a measure put in place after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A Strong Tradition of Gun Ownership Obama often mentions the expansion of gun rights under those two laws. He wrote in 2011: In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership thats handed from generation to generation. Hunting and shooting are part of our national heritage. And, in fact, my administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners- it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and Obama repeatedly expressed support for the Second Amendment, explaining that If you’ve got a rifle, you’ve got a shotgun, you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it away. National Rifle Association HammersObama During the 2008 presidential campaign, the NRA Political Victory Fund mailed out tens of thousands of brochures to gun owners and like-minded voters that accused Obama of lying about his position on gun control. The brochure read: Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history. Senator Obama says words matter. But when it comes to your Even though the president didnt sign a single bill into law limiting the use or purchase of guns the NRA Political Victory Fund continued to warn its members and like-minded voters during the 2012 election that Obama would make weapons a target in a second term. If Barack Obama wins a The NRA Political Victory Fund also falsely claimed that Obama had agreed to give the United Nations authority over the guns owned by Americans, saying: Obama has already endorsed moving ahead toward a U.N. gun ban treaty and will likely sign it after it’s negotiated.
