Asymmetry

For this journal entry I have chosen the professional scenario from the Milestone Three Rubric, where I am a member of the communications department of the American Academy of Dermatology. In the scenario, a new vice president of communications has asked to evaluate an infographic on how to spot skin cancer, which the company has released, and compare it to best practices as follows: • Comparing it to best practices for typeface • Comparing it to best practices for quality of content, icons,…

Super-size and large companies have huge amounts of money/resources to deal with in different ways. Financial executives of big companies have to keep all the immediate, intermediate and future financial necessities of companies in mind while taking any of the important policy decisions. Investment, financing, dividend and working capital decisions entails large amounts of money allocation/elicitation and has considerable impact on the financial well-being of a firm. Hence, all the policy…

It is generally acknowledged that schizophrenia has an etiology which is biological. In any case, the movement towards this assertion is still under study, and the etiology of schizophrenia has been the subject of long discussions over the past years. The level headed discussion has been part between the individuals who propose psychodynamic etiology and those that hypothesize biological etiology to schizophrenia. For proponents for psychodynamic origin to schizophrenia, non-natural variables,…

Humanizing Trade: Economic Growth and its implications on Poverty. Mahatma Gandhi once wrote, “Poverty is the worst form of violence.” Few would disagree. Rural poverty, low-wage jobs, poor labor rights and lopsided trade policies are fast killers of human capability and encourage extremist behavior. To reduce poverty, neoclassical economists & neoliberal politicians argue that trade liberalization contributes to overall growth, however, growth is simply not enough, trade should only be…

intentions differently than they actually are, forming a new context for the in-group. The deindividuation theory, on the other hand, does not consider the out-group as a factor for people’s behaviour within crowds. The third element to consider is the asymmetry in attitudes, so the difference in the crowd members’ self-perception and how the out-group sees the crowd members. If the out-group has the possibility to execute its assumptions and the crowd members perceive this action as…

investment in fixed asset as a component of total asset. Tangible assets are broadly accepted determinants of capital structure because fixed assets provide security to the capital provider by directing a claim against capital erosion. Information asymmetry between borrowers and firms increases the agency cost of debt which can be reduced by using adequate tangible assets that may serve as collateral to issue debt (Jensen & Meckling, 1976). This is obvious because firms with greater tangible…

man. Then, it would be Sophy’s duty to make that man happy. In Ahmed’s account, if Sophy is indeed happy, there is still a problem because there is a structural injustice. Sophy is inheriting a subject position that is already unjust. There is an asymmetry in who is responsible for other people’s happiness. The husband and parents are not responsible for Sophy’s…

suggest that a company wishing to raise funds to prefer internal financing, debt as second option and new equity issue as the least preferred option. Pecking order theory takes into consideration not only the costs of bankruptcy but information asymmetry and transaction costs as well, in order to interpret the financing behavior of the…

no individuals in interpellation, only subjects. By this way the dominant ideology exerts power on the others and drives them to think in that particular manner. With the given abstraction that surrounds the dominant notions created through power asymmetry, it is clear that there are external influences that limit the freedom of speech and expression in cinema through the censor…

Artistic evolution occurs throughout the Kamakura and Muromachi eras, altogether spanning from 1185 to 1550. Developing areas of art include literature, theatre, and visual arts. Both eras demonstrate interests regarding the past, Buddhist principles, and tradition but have different influences. Kamakura era literature discusses loyalism and Buddhist concepts. The era begins as war between the Taira and the Minamoto families concludes in 1185. The Tale of the Heike, a significant war…
