checks and balances and separation of powers The doctrine of separation of power forms the basis of the United States constitution. The philosophy behind this doctrine aims at diffusing and dividing the power so that no individual or entity holds much power that can harm the citizens. The doctrine is thus a measure to ensure that the government does not consolidate all the power which it may violate and harm its citizens (Legal information institute, 2020). Government functions in this doctrine get divided into three groups, which include the legislative, judicial, and executive. The doctrine thus ensures that there is a legitimate government where the three bodies act independently. Still, at the same time, a system of check and balance is established to ensure that the power is not absolutely held by the three arms and thus not misused. It is worth noting that no branch is allowed to exercise its power over the others, but they overlap and complement each other. In the United States, Congress has the power to legislate while the executive power is with the president…

The Power of the Human Mind The human mind acts as the central point of processing information. The human mind is divided into three interconnected parts, which include the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the brain stem. The mind is the root of human intelligence; humans experience emotions and thoughts through their brain, then process daily basis information from the senses and store the data as a memory. Memory is a mind- comprehensive process that requires different parts of the brain to work in conjunction to take place. The cerebellum part of the brain plays a critical role in the processing of procedural memories. The two main types of memories include short term and long term memories, which are encoded and stored in different parts of the human mind. The memory processing consists of the encoding stage, storage, and retrieval stage. The human mind stores it stores all the experiences of the body, but the duration of the storage differs from one memory to another. According to brain experts, the mind stores memories in three ways, which is first in the sensory…

POWER IN NEGOTIOTIONS KEY TERM: Power as it Relates to Negotiation DEFINITION: Power in negotiations refers to the ability of people involved in negotiations or the negotiator to influence the outcome of the whole process either directly or indirectly (Kogan, 2019).

Hydropower: The New Face of Energy Production  The use of water to generate power, known as hydroelectric power, is not a new concept in the world. James Francis engineered the first modern water turbine in 1849, and it was named after him, the Francis turbine. A few decades later, other scientists designed a hydropower plant in the United States along the Fox River (Nunez 1). Currently, hydropower accounts for about 16% of the world’s electricity. Only two states in the United States do not use hydropower. These figures show the growing importance of hydropower plants, and many other countries should follow suit. There is controversy surrounding hydropower plants as several people argue that it has harmful effects on the environment while the rest insist that it offers more benefits to the environment. To provide a better understanding of hydropower plants, we need to analyze both sides of this issue. Therefore, we take an in-depth look at the positives and negatives of using hydropower plants to generate energy. A standard hydropower plant has three components: a power plant that produces electricity,…

historical as well as contemporary rivalries among global powers that have created various polarities 2.0: CHAPTER TWO 2.1: Survey and Review of Literature Chapter Two outlines and analyses historical as well as contemporary rivalries among global powers that have created various polarities. The aim is to find if Mearsheimer’s theory extends to historical data. The literature review will seek to extend Mearsheimer’s claim in chapter three that it should be apparent that unlike what most optimists that countries are more likely to define their greatness in constructive ways through cooperation are wrong. Instead, Mearsheimer asserts that states are more concerned about the balance of power and that powers are more likely to compete against each other[1]. One of the main reasons that Mearsheimer uses is international anarchy as the driving force behind excellent power behavior. However, in the 21st century, China is the most severe threat to the United States. Thus, moving forward, twenty-first-century world politics still use the five assumptions mentioned in Mearsheimer’s discourse as actors of the international system operate in an anarchic order, that powers seek to…
