Article Review on ongoing conflict between U.S technology companies and sovereign states In her article, Stephanie Hare explores the ongoing conflict between U.S technology companies and sovereign states as far as the control and access of consumer data is concerned. Most importantly, the article argues that the battle between these entities is preventing them from working together to address the greater enemies in a way that benefits both sides (Hare 550). The first section of this article explores the problem of the wicked problem of data protection. The article ends by exploring how both the U.S technology companies and foreign countries can benefit from increased cooperation between the two entities. Both the foreign sovereign states and U.S technology companies have justifiable reasons for seeking total control over the data provided by internet users. States can use this data to thwart and prosecute cybercrimes and terrorism. On the other hand, technology companies have a mandate to protect the data provided to them by their customers and not to avail it to third parties. At the same time, Hare argues that the…
Vengeance and Forgiveness in Shakespeare’s the Tempest The Tempest, at the surface level, is a story of Prospero, who is an exiled Duke of Milan. Prospero is a character that is at the center of the Tempest. Within the play, he has a lot of action and the last work. The book revolves around Prospero’s search for revenge against the people who overthrew him. He is seen as an all-powerful, all-knowing, God-like character who has power over the island and could easily destroy his enemies in a variety of ways (V.i.1). Instead of destroying them, he chooses to bring them face-to-face with their mistakes forcing them to repent. He later forgives them and allows them to marry his daughter. In the book, it is clear that forgiveness is heartfelt and real and shows the author’s need for a humanist future where bigotry and religious hatred can be transcended. In the Tempest, Prospero tells his daughter Miranda as they are watching the storm from a shelter on the island of how he was once the Duke of Milan, but he was…

Ultimatum game behaviors Unfair offers in many animals elicited activity in the brain areas related to both emotion and cognition. Before we tackle that we also note that reciprocity and fairness, alongside empathy and compassion are the pillars of morality among animals. If we can be guided by the reaction of capuchin monkeys; where they did get offers from humans that were largely unfair, in this case one of them getting a raw deal, the victim protested and even rejected the offer. Where an animal was involved to another animal, there was more equity in that they chose equitably to share the offers or even helped each other get a reward even where one was not particularly interested. Lamelara of Indonesia were depicted to share equitably 58% of the time which can be attributed to the fact that they were culturally dependent. Hazda of Tanzania on the other hand had lowest offers being rejected most of the time. This phenomenon could be partly explained by cultural expectations and the fear of ostracism. Question 2: Method that would allow better…

It is important that children should be given the chance by their teachers to develop to skills that they can use in the presentation and to be able to critically appraise mathematical concepts, arguments and calculations (Lerman, 2001). Much emphasis has been placed on students communication and presenting mathematical arguments by the ministry of education. This has made many children not to learn proper right and wrong mathematics and doing column sums. Instead students have been made to memorize what their teachers are saying as the correct results without having the ability to reason out whether the result is correct or not (Hurfed, 2004). In mathematics as a subject proper reasoning is significant from early age as a child. The reasoning aspect should be considered in the preparation of mathematics curriculum. And mathematics teachers should consider how they incorporate reasoning aspect in mathematics to ensure understanding. This paper will focus on mathematics aspect of reasoning that establishes why mathematical calculations yield results that are true. The need of…
The Developmental Importance of Play Question 1 The quality and quantity of play for children have significantly declined since I was a child. The national trust survey revealed that children nowadays utilize less than half the time their parents spent playing outside. Approximately, children play outside for only five hours a week and over thrice that amount playing video games inside. The reason is that the rise of the internet has children choosing to spend time indoors. This type of indoor play is of lesser quality as it does no accommodate physical activity and social interactions.

As children play along with others, they develop social skills such as taking turns and solving conflicts. The play also helps children’s’ emotional development by allowing them to express both the conscious and unconscious…

Midas’s primary strategy Midas has the plan of adding a new service to the operations of the company. Therefore, it will be crucial for Midas to focus on how this change will affect its operations. Such changes could have significant financial impacts to the organization. It could result in losses or even affect the reputation of the company. It is quite challenging to predict the future of this organization, but if the management can formulate a strategy, it can be prepared for any unforeseen obstacles. In the automotive repair industry, Midas’s primary strategy is to offer an average number of services at a relatively low cost. Also, its regional product promotion is critical in developing a comprehensive geographical market. It is not a comprehensive repair shop. However, it focuses on a few services like brakes, shock absorbers, and muffler repair (Vonderembse and White, 2013). This small scale operation is a worrying factor Midas because the management is afraid that adding tune-ups might affect daily operations. I think teaming up with other specialized shops within the market would be sustainable. I…
