Inequality is increasingly at the forefront of public debate. After seven years, global economies today continue to struggle for recovery from the 2007-2009 Great Recession. Rising inequality is not a new issue, yet the subject and its distribution has been continuously marginalized in the field of mainstream economics. Perhaps it is due to inconsistent views of what economic inequality is, its level of economic consequences, and when inequality becomes unjustified. As a famous economic…

In the Wilt Chamberlain example, Nozick attempts to show that patterned principles of just distribution are incompatible with liberty. Nozick argues that what the Wilt Chamberlain example shows is that no patterned principle of just distribution will be compatible with liberty. To preserve the pattern which was agreed to in the original position, the state will have to continually interfere with people's ability to freely exchange their shares allotted by the patterned principles. For any…

Nonstructural scoliosis is reversible and repairable by treating the cause of the problem. These issues include but are not limited to differences in the length of legs, spinal lesions, and abdominal lesions. Structural scoliosis is an irreversible fixed curve that doctors treat on an individual basis. Structural scoliosis is broken down between four different types; these are idiopathic scoliosis, osteopathic scoliosis, neuropathic scoliosis, and myopathic scoliosis. (Salter, 1999) Data…

A girl comes out standing on the table and then jumps off and gets low to the ground, does a small roll thing and then stands up bent over with her arms straight up. In that whole scene she went from high topography, low, to medium and also shows curves with her body and straight lines with her arms. Her element is fire the entire time she is on stage. At the end of her scene she shows two more extreme “systems” by falling to the ground again and getting back up to continue her last lines and…

Lists 3 visual elements of art and design (the "building blocks") you think Munch employed when he created The Scream. These visual elements must be chosen from those featured in Chapter 3 and the PowerPoint presentation. 1. After you list the 3 visual elements, you must then write a 300-word long thread that describes the characteristics of each element AND explains why they were chosen by Munch to createThe Scream. 2. Pay particular attention to the most obvious visual elements of The Scream.…

First, the Elvis board was connected to a power source and to the computer. A team member then connected the IR optosensor to the Easy Pulse circuit board. Afterwards the Easy Pulse circuit board was wired to the NI Elvis II board using jumper wires, ensuring that the VCC, A0 and GND pins connected to the +5V, AI0+, and AIGND sections respectively. The AI0 was then connected directly to the AIGND on the Elvis board. Once that was done, another team member ran the program Pulse Moniter.vi and…

The solution of the Frank and Doris race problem looked to be simple at first. Although Doris speed began faster, Frank gained speed and passed her and thus seemed to be the winner of the race. After looking more closely at the problem I discovered this was not quite the case. I first sketched Frank and Doris given values onto the one Velocity-Time graph. Originally looking at this graph, it looks as if Frank passes Doris at 10 seconds, because that is when his speed becomes greater than Doris’s…

hereditary. Which means people with scoliosis are more probable to have children that has it, too. Also, the specialists explained to us that scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the spine. There are different symptoms of scoliosis, but the most common is the curvature of the spine. Furthermore, he explained that all people have normal curves in their sides and hips. One of my sides was straight and the other was overly curved and one of my shoulders was higher than the…

Questions: Answer all questions given What kind of relationship did you see in your D vs T graphs (both hand and computer)? Do these relationships make sense? Explain! In the distance versus time graph for the hand graph, there is an exponential increase the in the distance traveled; as time progresses, the distance the car travels increases a little more, as the slope is not a straight line, but instead slopes upwards, with slopes later in the line being steeper than the slopes before. What…
