Reflection on Social Research Preparation Most people consult the internet for research purposes. Therefore, my training for the foundation of social research tutorial was over the internet. I searched and read multiple journals and research books just to get a gist of exactly what social research was. I learned the definition of social research as a systematic study of human beings and their interactions by scientists, academic professors, and even students. In his book, Keith Punch suggested that social research is an art of human study (2013, p.28). Therefore I was mentally prepared to learn the art of studying humankind in the natural habitat. Thus, it was exciting to wait for the first class. Furthermore, I have to read the origins and history of research. According to Gary McCullough, social research and social research originated from the ancient Greek. They rationally asked about human nature and their morality (2004, p.14). Furthermore, I came across the ideology that researchers research in a particular way and using particular methods. Because just like any other discipline, research requires ethics and respect. For example,…

The human being is supposed to protect the environment from collapsing through social activities, among other factors that cause environmental pollution. The main aim of preserving our environment is to make sure…
Natural and Sexual Selection in Frogs According to the Darwinian theory of natural and sexual selection, organisms undergo variations and mutations in order to possess significant traits for their survival in a specific ecosystem. Such adaptations increase the survival and reproduction rates thus maintaining their existence in an ecological niche. Moreover, the variations are inheritable hence making the future generations to survive. However, in the case of reproductive isolation, new species are likely to form. Sexual selection inhibits overproduction of unfit species’ generation since only organisms with the best fitness compete successfully for mates either in intrasexual or intersexual selection. For instance, the bullfrog has unique phenotypic adaptations that enable it to survive on the competitive land and aquatic niches. Since amphibians live partly on land and water, the bullfrogs have different leg lengths which help them in their movements with the fittest bullfrog having the desirable characteristics and optimum length. Irschick & Higham (2016) affirm that due to the effect of natural selection, some of the bullfrogs underwent phenotypic reproduction hence the variation in the leg characteristics of the…

Geography Question 1. Supranationalism is a system whereby different nations in agreement create a treaty and an organization whose boundaries go beyond the national borders. The member countries become subject to the authority of the organization. The individual nations have lesser powers than the organization formed. Such agreements exist, for example, the European Union created for economic and political reasons. Question 2. Devolution refers to the decentralization or transfer of power to lower levels. A central government can devolve its power to a local administration. Centripetal forces tend to draw things together and unify them. Such an effect can be a national language or common culture that binds the nation. Centrifugal force pulls the country apart, such as corruption and ethnicity. Spain has experienced devolution majorly to help maintain democracy to curb dictatorship. Question 3. Balkanization refers to the process of disintegrating a state into smaller states which are either uncooperative or are hostile towards each other. In the 1990s, Yugoslavia experienced balkanization and was dissolved after an economic and political crisis. Former Yugoslavia is now made up of…
Diplomatic solutions on human trafficking Introduction Human trafficking can be referred to as an organized international crime with the aim of using a human being for the purposes of making the profit. This kind of crime leads to destructions of lives where many of them are children whose dignity and right to freedom are robbed. The victims of human trafficking are people from a poor background who are exploited by traffickers by means of deception and force. The exploitation and transportation of these vulnerable people that is, men, women, and children by this organized group of criminal should not be tolerated by any civilized nation in the world (Goodman, 2015). Thus, the aim of this essay is to discuss whether the diplomatic solutions of human trafficking are enough to affect change. Thesis statement should have 3 main argumentative points International action to stop trafficking happening in the first place “is this a subtitle?” if yes then it should be bolded Trafficking is a global problem and this crime happens to our (academic writing does not allow use of first…
