Upward Bound

It is a foregone conclusion that in a world of seven billion individuals, some are bound to be impoverished. A United Nations study conducted in 2014 found that approximately one half of the population of the world — upwards of 3 billion people — survive on less than $2.50 a day. More worrisome still, upwards of 1.3 billion live below the line of extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. Such an egregious affront surely requires the co-operation of those more well off in the developed world in…

was provided for everyone. Excessive competition and production were blamed for the collapse. Therefore, business proprietors and farmers were allowed to cooperate in establishing prices that would provide them with a profitable return and induce an upward turn (under the National Recovery Administration and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration). The Second New Deal was more anti-business and pro-consumer. Roosevelt turned to vastly increased relief spending (under the Works Progress…

When it is promoted that a person can be whatever they want, it starts a chain reaction of people stepping over their bounds. I will use myself as an example: I cannot become a professional athlete because these 3 reasons I am fat, I have athletically induced asthma, and I have an overly flat foot! Just how I can’t become a true athlete a male cannot become a true female…

are bound to change American society. With rapid immigration into the Unites States, coupled with broad education systems that include the learning of other cultures and languages, the family structure in the United States is headed for great changes that will make it completely different from how it was during the First World War. Many immigrants come into the United States from Mexico, Europe, Asia, and they have different marriage practices from those of Native Americans and hence are bound…

specialized functional departments like production, marketing and finance. Every organizational unit has well-defined and select responsibilities and objectives. Communication is mostly vertical, with more importance on down-ward guidelines than on upward communication. Hence, Buck press’ goals, strategies, policies, and procedures are determined by the top-level management and communicated downward as instructions and decisions to be…

The reasons that we justify comparing ourselves and our accomplishments to others can be very complex, or it may be very simple. Are we seeking an honest assessment of our self-worth, or are we merely attempting to appease ourselves by showing we are just as good as or better than someone else? According to Festinger’s (1954) social comparison theory, we must first compare ourselves to others in order to appropriately evaluate ourselves, because for many domains and attributes, there is no…

of the two. China’s economy had gone down simply because, its industrial sector faced a hard hit in terms development. However, with the new bilateral trade with South Korea as well as the recovery of its developed markets, the economy is bound to take an upward curve. Basically, the bilateral trade agreement has opened up trade between the two countries especially the exports whereby,…

about love and marriage, but never the good things. This can give people the impression that love or marriage is hopeless and it will end. Downward social comparison is the comparison of lower people to one’s self to make themselves feel better. The upward social comparison is when individuals compare themselves to people who are better than them. Studies show that downward social comparison benefits a relationship’s well-being. One big problem with the assumption that long term…

My interest in becoming a pharmacist started after completion of Drug and Alcohol Pharmacology. Since then chemistry has started to have a reason to be learned in combination with biology. Who would have realized that a combination of drugs can create a synergistic effect doubling the potency of a drug? Or giving drugs in an order in which the first drug is to inhibit receptors that may be bind by the following second drug? To be a part of this profession originated greatly from self interest in…

result, disparities in work, wages or salary drive lower aggregate demand for goods and services having unattended effects in the market. Further productivity and technology that produce innovation often lower labour production requirements (Berman, Bound, & Machin, 1998) again intensifying demand for non-routine manual work. In addition, any benefit of value may not be evenly distributed, and could even contribute to widening income inequality (Manyika et al, 2013). The further widening…
