Controlling for a variable

Discrimination Even though our social system is relatively much complete than before, but gender discrimination seems like a problem for a long time. For studying the differences of wage level between men and women, researcher controls the several variables, such as education level, working experiences, and race, which would influence the result of this experiment. The researchers find that except the impact of these factors, there are still a large part of wage gaps remain unexplained,…

Government policy affects the economy in a variety of ways, but it is ultimately better for the government to have an active role in regulating and controlling it. Statistically speaking, the economy does better the more government regulation of it there is. Under the Obama administration, the economy has now more than quadrupled the number of jobs present from the Bush administration, and unemployment…

In Michael Huemer’s essay, “The Lure of Radical Skepticism,” he expands on the idea that ‘we cannot know anything,’ by outlining four different arguments supporting the claim. (Huemer 47-57) René Descartes holds the opposite opinion, which he discusses in ‘Meditations One and Two.’ While there is validity to both sides of the argument, Huemer’s essay proves to be more reliable after dissecting Descartes’ concepts of existence. Huemer proposes that no one can know anything about the external…

investment and would lead Mr Yu struggling to make a ROI, due to the sheer competitiveness and un-attractiveness of the industry as I have pointed to above. However, if Mr Yu is willing to make a sizeable investment from production to retail, thus controlling more of the value chain the investment could be very profitable. The information provided clearly states that importers enjoy a healthy mark-up even after paying the import duty. The only major issue they were having related to inventory…

Gaining Clarity: Industrialization Breaking the Gridlock between Pollution and Globalization Scientist since the 1800s have researched and found connections between the earth’s atmosphere and the rising temperature of the earth. There are still those who do not trust the science behind global warming, and debate whether global warming is a scientific fact. However, the rise of carbon dioxide emissions cannot be debated. These emissions and a number of other things are combined in to the…

Why follow the rules? Why not get what you want when you want it however you can get it? The mere function of today’s world is based on the elite necessity to have every citizen obey their laws. In addition, people never stop to ask themselves, “Why is there a pressing validity in the action of obeying wholesome rules, and how does this benefit me personally”? Thrasymachus addresses the underlining importance behind morality and the misleading advantages that follow with being virtuous. In a…

Gender Wage Gap in the Health Care Field Women are now pursuing occupations that were traditionally dominated by males and offered a higher pay. The pay disparity is more prominent within such jobs, possibly because of the fact that they are less flexible and more demanding. As a result, employees, mainly women, who seek alternative arrangements face a disadvantage due to such requests. This theory is further explored by investigating the trends found within the healthcare sector. The path…

The purpose of this EEI is to create and analyse an experiment that relates to and supports the theory of osmosis in biological cells. Cells are the biological building block for all life; all living organisms have cells also. Cells provide structure, absorb nutrients from food and convert those nutrients into energy so that the cell can carry out specialized functions. There are two main categories with most organisms and their cells; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The distinctive difference…

Contribution factors that make all lines a deceleration curve is due to the change of variables of time and absorbance. In the beginning time frame the velocity rate of diffusion of pigments is rapidly increasing, towards the midsection of the time frame it starts to slow down and finally levels off. This shows that there is a deceleration…

Varying Degrees of Adolescents with Major Depression and Their Effect on Amygdala Activation Tony Yang and others’ study, “Adolescents with Major Depression Demonstrate Increased Amygdala Activation,” is an influential study of developmental psychology because of the insight it brought onto the relationship of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Dysthymia and the activation of the amygdala in adolescents (Yang et al. 2010). Major Depressive Disorder is defined as a two week interval with sad…
