Reflection: What Makes People Happy People have different thoughts and beliefs about what makes them happy or self-sufficient. Besides, people have different definitions of happiness, which also affects their ingredients of what makes them happy. It is a fact that happiness is a mood and a good thing, but it fades just like moods swing with time. No one is capable of holding onto their happiness when it’s time to pass comes. Thus, happiness does not endure, nor does it satisfy because one can lose it at any given time. I believe happiness is the good feeling that people usually have sometimes in life. There are several reasons thought to be sources of happiness by men, and people pursue them in search of self-satisfaction or accomplishment (Slavitt, David and Boethius 83). Some people think that having good relationships, jobs, or any social behaviors such as charity work makes people feel happy. Regardless of the source of happiness, it always necessary and pleasant to be happy. Happiness helps people to pursue their ambitions and achieve life goals because it instills self-drive…
Effect of Diversification on Firms’ Value Introduction In the 1950s and 1960s, a majority of corporate went the way of massive programs for diversification. The process continued until the 1960s when it reached its climax with the enormous rise to prominence of substantial conglomerate firms. That trend has, however, reversed in the past 15 years. The return to specialization replaced it. The push towards focus came as a result of the view that diversification that is unrelated leads to a decrease in the value of a firm. Arguments from theory argue that diversification, however, bears both value-reducing and value-enhancing effects. The benefits that could arise as a result of operating different business lines in a similar firm is the increase in operating efficiency, decreasing or low incentive of preceding the positive net present projects, the capacity of enormous debt, and lower taxes. However, there are potential costs that arise as a result of diversification, and they include the following; the employment of the diversification at the organizational workplace leads to the improved decision-making process, improved production value, and sharing of…
Representation of Gender and Marriage In Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf Play Introduction Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a play by Edward Albee, who has created a world inhabited by individuals dealing with difficulties in understanding and asserting their identity within a social sphere of change and crisis. The play is a critique of humans and their society and brings to light psychosocial, sexual, philosophical, and political problems that lay at the heart of human existence. The play stands as an opponent of the idea of a perfect American family and the expectations of the society as the play attacks the false optimism and narrow-minded confidence of contemporary society. Edward takes a heavy-handed approach to the display of this contrast, making examples from each character and their expectations for the people around them. The play shows convincing families that are not perfect and possibly ruined, using the two characters, Martha and George, who are married. This paper will try to look at how the play brings out themes of sexuality, marriage, and gender, through the way the play’s characters…

Dublin society Archeologists concerned with social and economic development in the historic era consider capitalism as the most useful framework for tentative changing practice. This has provided a link between ideology, material culture, labor relations, power, consumerism, and resistance. The concept of improvement originally functioned as a financial creed to improve the nation’s fortune and thereby to improve standards of living of its inhabitants. By observing enlightened principals, prosperity and trade would flow morals and habits, reforms, and nations modernized. Individuals such as John Locke and Francis Bacon ordered explicitly and well-managed landscape with civility; they believed that it was possible to have a civilizing influence on the populace. Locke justified the confiscation of land from those who were reluctant to improve it to an English standard; this justified British imperialism in North America and Ireland. By the end of 17TH-century improvement, the creed was concerned with reforms in agriculture, which entailed ‘waste’ reclamation and field systems enclosure; customary laws elimination that affected real lives of cordial people, for instance, access to land held in stock and rights erosion.

White Collar Crimes Introduction Since the onset of industrialization, more sophisticated crimes have arisen. As more people joined the rat race, the crime for financial gain was no longer only violent and wasn’t only linked to people in the lower classes. Being that those who were able to secure well-paying jobs were automatically placed in the middle and upper classes, Sutherland argued that individuals could also commit crimes from all social classes, where business people used the mask of respectability to commit fraud, extort and embezzle funds for their financial gain. Sutherland’s definition was later on criticized for being plain and non- inclusive, and later on, many definitions from different sociologists and criminologists came up. From my research, I would, therefore, classify white-collar crimes as crimes committed by individuals in the course of their employment, involving deceit and concealment, which violate trust, moral or ethical obligations, and civil, criminal and regulatory laws for the individuals’ financial gain. The term white-collar crimes thus cover a wide array of crimes. It’s done in a sophisticated manner and may not be easy to…

Crime has negatively affected the economic and societal development of states. Therefore, there is a need to curb it before it gets out of hard.
