Ted Talk video: Singer′s philosophy 1) Please watch this Ted Talk video, which explains Singer′s philosophy: https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_singer_the_why_and_how_of_effective_altruism (Links to an external site.) Singer argues that: ″If it is in our power to prevent something very bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral significance, then we ought to do it.″ That simple claim, he argues, would radically change the world, if we all adopted it as our belief. His basic argument is that if we saw a child drowning in a shallow pond, and no one else was present to save the child, then we would be morally required to save her life, even if this meant being late to work, missing an exam at school, ruining one′s clothes, etc. Since ruined clothes, a job, school, etc., are much less important than a young child′s life, we are morally obligated to stop and save that life — as long as we were not sacrificing something of comparable moral worth. (For example, we would not be obligated to help if we were rushing our partner/spouse to the hospital after…
Guidelines for Writing Research Proposal Title Should have a core concept you are investigating Should indicate the organization you have chosen Can be in the form of a statement or a question Example: A study of motivational strategies in Bank Sohar Example: Do motivations affect job performance?

“What inspires you? What concerns you? What do you want to know more about?” Criminologists are constantly asking questions and searching for ways to mitigate and prevent, reduce criminal events from occurring. Your goal in the individual written portion of the assignment is to choose and examine in detail a crime problem, by answering important questions and introducing new creative strategies/solutions. Then, together with your group you will present an engaging, positive “LISA TALK” for the class to introduce and share your findings. What is a LISA TALK? Similar to a “TED TALK” video presentation is introduced, where an inspirational conversation is shared about an important issue to share: wisdom, advice, knowledge, and inspiration, in this case our focus is “CRIME”. (we have watched many together in class throughout the CJS program) – TED is a non profit organization, devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (20 minutes). TED began in 1984 as a conference. There are no standard templates for presentations. Elements of a good presentation- start with a very compelling, fresh relevant idea, teach us something…
cture and organization of membranes Membranes cture and organization of membranes Membranes are composed of lipids, proteins and sugars Biological membranes consist of a double sheet (known as a bilayer) of lipid molecules. This structure is generally referred to as the phospholipid bilayer. In addition to the various types of lipids that occur in biological membranes, membrane proteins and sugars are also key compo- nents of the structure. Membrane proteins play a vital role in biological membranes, as they help to maintain the structural integrity, organization and flow of material through mem- branes. Sugars are found on one side of the bilayer only, and are attached by covalent bonds to some lipids and proteins. Three types of lipid are found in biological membranes, namely phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols. Phospholipids consist of two fatty acid chains linked to glycerol and a phosphate 1 To whom correspondence should be addressed (email H.R.Watson@exeter.ac.uk).

Risk Assessment: Toothpaste Tablets in India Risk Analysis Introduction Currently, toothpaste tubes cannot be recycled. Colgate, a well-known global giant in the production of toothpaste, has been developing a recyclable container for five years and is planning to unveil it in 2020 (Suja, 2007). But Lindsay McCormick, the creator and CEO of Bite finds this move as insufficient. Her company is committed to being the most sustainable oral care business in the world, revolutionizing the industry entirely. The Bite produces low-waste, tubing-free oral care bites, which aren100% gluten-free, vegan, and free of harmful chemicals. Try one before you brush, and you will realize that the minty pellet has the same effect as regular toothpaste while brushing your teeth to refresh your breath. The bites are encased inside supportable, recyclable packaging glass bottles, and refills are sold in compostable sachets. Brush by Bites. Another advantage is that the customer gets to receive their purchase on a zero-plastic packaging (Harish, 2009). However, in the case of India, most of these companies are offering online purchases and still earning the right amount of…

Abenomics Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Abstract In the period between 1990 to 2012, Japan witnessed the most significant economic recession that took a tailspin on the stock and real estate market. According to Nobel Laureate, Paul Krugman, Japan’s recession was primarily due to a liquidity trap that has interfered with the bank’s ability to apply monetary policies that aid in regulating interest rates. However, empirical studies have shown that Japan’s problems stem from other sources such as the aging population problem, banking behavior, fiscal policy, liquidity trap, and transfers from central Government to the Local Government. There exist many resources that argue that the Japanese recession happened due to the growing vertical I.S. curve rather than the alleged liquidity trap. To date, massive loopholes still exist in the economy following the severe economic downturn that hit Japan in the period between 1990-2012. The recovery of the once modest economy has been set back by the March 2011 earthquakes and Tsunamis that struck Japan. With the country having the third-largest economy in the world, its economy is vulnerable to…
The Spazio Collection (Fiorucci) Student’s Name Affiliation Course Professor Date Executive Summary Spazio is an Italian fashion brand that was inspired by the mega-brand Fiorucci. Spazio clothing mainly focuses on an elegant dress with luxurious designer styles. The brand is unique because of its quality and high-end pricing. However, the current generation is very keen on the idea of fashion. This taste has given both designers and sellers the challenge to update and move by the changes. Though this is so, the fashion and designing industry has been vital to ensure that peoples’ tastes and preferences are kept to their standards and needs (Black, 2009). This step has given designers a challenge to ensure that their brands focus on market trends. The designers have also observed that aged people are nostalgic about their old patterns. Young people also tend to feel their parents’ fashion and trend. This idea has given them a feeling of their memories. The Italian brand Fiorucci has been able to manage these market trends…
Effects of Glaciers in Alaska, North America Name: Course: Instructor: Institution: Date of Submission: PART A (RESEARCH PAPER) Introduction This research is geographical-based research that seeks to establish the results of Glaciers in Alaska, one of the states in America. Glaciers occupy a significant part of the land in the United States, where Alaska contributes highly to these levels. Glaciers refer to vast masses of ice that slowly move some mountains and valleys downwards, thereby forming primary freshwater sources across the world. North America and specifically Alaska, is the most adversely affected by the effects of this geographical feature, as discussed in this research. Weather and Climate of Alaska Alaska is an actual state that is located in North America. The region is characterized by high levels of glaciers, with Bering forming the longest glacier that covers over 100 kilometers of length. This part of America usually experiences changing climatic conditions, with summer exhibiting fair conditions that become worse during winter periods. According…
The growing investment by luxury brands in the direct distribution channels Luxury brands are mostly sold through wholesale mode, and they have focussed less on direct selling over the past few years. According to the study by Bain & Co. in their Global Luxury Report 2019, they noted that there was a rise in the retail buyers of luxury brands (BAIN & Co. – Global Luxury Report 2019. Page 15). Luxury brands such as Cartier have continuously ignored retail selling, and they have decided to focus on wholesale selling and advertising. In the recent past, however, the brands have started focusing on the direct distribution channels. The reason they have previously targeted the wholesale model of selling and marketing is because of the nature of their products, which is for luxury and not the everyday household and daily use. The prices and the fame of the products make them out of reach of the ordinary person, thus the decision to focus on the wholesale model of marketing. This, however, has started changing with the focus on the direct distribution channels,…
