As I walked into my interview with Dr. Lisa Calvano, I did not have the impression that research took in any part of business management. After having a meeting with her, I learned exactly how important research is to the discipline.

Information from research is usually produced by the classical methods:…

Many have been debating whether Ontario has made the right decision or not. Ontario has decided to build 2 new nuclear units at Darlington along with 10 refurbishments at Darlington, Bruce, and Pickering. $33-billion will be spent on nuclear energy and $27-billion for renewable energy along with $12-billion on conservation. Ontario has proudly stopped using coal for electricity in 2014 and currently has 2 nuclear, 65 hydro, and 3 thermal fleets. These three types of energy have been used…

Why is there no similarity in growth if countries have the same tools, such as access to resources and historical and social context? According to the CIA Fact book, the data shows that countries do not expand their standard of living at the same pace as each other (263). Countries such as Saudi Arabia and North America have achieved higher living standards than countries in Asia, South America and Africa. Some of the reasons for this difference in economics is that some countries do not change…

In many classrooms across America today, race and ethnicity are very much on the table. Teachers dream of seeing their students discuss difference in a constructive way.

I can…

environment are the roads that have to be built to lead to them. They would also destroy the natural habitats of various animals. Wind turbines can cause noise pollution that can lead to health problems such as hypertension, impaired cognitive development, minor psychiatric disorders and sleep disturbance (7). Finally, another disadvantage that wind energy has is its reliability. Wind does not blow consistently and the location of turbines can determine how much energy is stored. If the weather…
