Asymmetry

Every religion has artwork that depicts the works of their respective gods or their god’s disciples. Christianity has many pieces of art that show the life of Christ and his works as well as his disciples. Muslims have pieces that depict the life of Muhammad, who was the main disciple of their god Allah. Jewish people have works that show the greatness of heaven and of God. The Good Shepherd and The Ascent of the Prophet Muhammad on his Steed Buraq, Guided by Jibra’il and Escorted by Angel, are…

Although it is no longer headlining the evening news, organized crime still poses a very real and dangerous threat to both society and the government. Corruption of influential people has always played a vital role in the success of organized crime but this issue has grown tremendously in modern time as organized criminals try so much harder to stay in the shadows. Even with the attempt of various governments to limit the power of these groups and the increasing resources of law enforcement…

inequality in ownership, unequal sharing of household benefits and chores and domestic violence. Inequality in gender of one type leads to gender inequality of many other types. Gender inequality in health is evident not only in the old form of asymmetry in mortality, but also in the new form of sex-selective abortions, as many parents want the new born to be a boy rather than a girl. Sex selection before birth and neglect of the female child after birth, in childhood and, during the teenage…

The existence of International Politics is impossible without the existence of power pursuance. Power can be described by Steven Lukes as “A gets B to do something A wants but B would have not chosen to do” (2004: 122). According to Heywood, Politics has three characteristics: it is an activity, it is social and it originates from diversity. By using the term diversity, he refers to having a diversity of opinions, interests and ways of thinking (2004). This last characteristic of Politics is the…

A change in your breasts can be a sign of a serious medical problem. Being familiar with how your breasts look and feel allows you to find any problems early, when treatment is more likely to be successful. All women should practice self-awareness,…

properties, processes and functions (Verheijen et al 2012). Until this has been comprehensively quantified, regulations have a higher likelihood of unsuccessfully mitigating potential risks associated with the use of biochar, and creating information asymmetries. The compilation of scientific data will allow governments and stakeholders to scan the domestic and international environments and determine how policy, including…

In his pioneer model for dividend smoothing, Lintner (1956) proposed that firms in general have a long-run target payout ratio. The role of the managers is to gradually adjust firm payment of dividends toward the target. However, in this model adjustments are partial because they are not free and the firm has to incur a cost for the adjustment. The Lintner model for partial adjustment is given by: Dit – Dit-1 = ai + ci (D*it – Dit-1) + εit (1) where Dt and Dt-1 are dividend payments at…

unlikely to affect individual constituents in the same way. Returning to the idea of equality, liberalism should try to achieve not just equality of institutional representation, but instead equality of outcome (Gagnon 2001). There are some examples of asymmetry in Canadian federalism. Firstly, as mentioned above, there is a constitutional requirement that three Supreme Court judges come from Quebec. While the other nine provinces receive representation, the breakdown is conventional not…

differently? In what follows we will discuss the different ideas of the different communication styles given by Tannen in her book, metamesages, and the problem with glass ceiling. Tannen’s Ideas One of the most important ideas from Tannen’s chapter is asymmetry vs symmetry.…

For several years the frontal lobes, known to play a role in higher-order cognitive functioning, have been thought to contribute to episodic memory (EM) – a contribution in which researchers have recently made efforts to delineate. Here I will evaluate the notion that frontal lobes contribute to EM, and suggest reasons as to how it might do this. Lesion studies We can look at lesion studies to assess the contribution of the frontal lobes to EM. Unlike cued-recall and recognition tasks (which…
