Does Cyberbullying happen in the VR world these days? An electronic instigated form of harassment is referred to as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying involves the conveyance of intimidating or threatening messages that are meant to torment a person. Virtual reality is an experience stimulated by a computer in an interactive way environment to entertain and enhance interaction. An individual using virtual reality software can interact with items in the world and virtual features. This paper will explore the occurrence of cyberbullying in the virtual world and how technology has increased cyberbullying in the current generation. To some people, cyber bulling has been both foreign and familiar. Due to the presence of many games that are played in virtual reality (VR), multi-playing is likely to cause harassment at some point during the play (Frank par. 3). This may because players failing to concede defeat. This type of harassment is hazardous, as it may result in mental suffering. It may trigger the mind of a tormentor to send death threats message to the other player. Virtual reality games may activate the mind of players…
Time Travel According to Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity, time is an illusion in a way that it can speed up or slow down depending on how fast you move relative to something else. According to his theory, one would age much slower moving at the speed of light through space and thus making time the fourth dimension in addition to length, width, and height-the coordinates of space. Time can also be adjusted by gravity, according to a second Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Gravity increases speed in space relative to earth, a situation proved by the GPS satellite technology where clocks gain 38 microseconds a day, calling for calibrations by engineers to adjust the difference (Howell). Scientists often disagree with the concept of time travel. Einstein’s theories make time travel an extremely difficult scenario to accomplish.His equations provide for travelling through wormholes although they would only be suitable for small particles. Stephen Hawking describes a wormhole as a theoretical tunnel that links two places in space-time where space and time are pulled into the tunnel by negative energy…
Conflict Theory /Social and Culture Film Karly Maxy was born on the 5th of May 1818; he was a philosopher, an economist, a historian, sociologists,a political theorist, a journalist, and a revolutionary socialist from German. At his campus-level, he mainly majored in law and philosopher. Maxy became stateless as a result of political publication where he was living in London for decades together with his wife and children. In 1848, his three best titles were pamphlet, communist manifesto, and three-volume Das capital. The politics and philosophy of Marx influenced more on subsequent intellectual, economic, and the history of politics; his name was used as an adjective, a noun, and as a school of social theory. Maxy was considered an essential person in society because he increased force towards contradicting the issues of disequilibria that was used in solving only in the new social system.

Honor-based Violence Introduction Honor-based killing can be defined as slaying done as a commission by the extended family to restore the honor after dishonor through cultural norms violation. Murder for honor puts threats on girls and women if they do not perform some cultural acts such as covering their hair and not acting as their domestic servants. It can be done through being run over by a vehicle, stabbing, strangulation, and set on fire (Mallicoat, 2018). Muslims are the most known to kill their women for the honor. Mostly, the perpetrators work in conjunction with other family members. This essay gives instances of honor killings in the united states, how the killings can be reduced, and how religious and secular groups can compact such murder. Instances of Honor-Based Violence Occurrences of honor-based killing in the united states include Amina Said, a younger girl of 18 years and her sister Sarah 17 years of age, were killed by their father at their home Texas in January 2008 (Chesler, 2009). Said, his father, with the help of their mother, killed the…
Explain what is meant by the need to design culturally appropriate reward systems? Give some examples One of the determinants of the success of a company in the global market is the efficiency of a culturally diverse workforce. Incentives and rewards are critical to workforce motivation in a company. Therefore, appropriate systems must be put in place for a positive outcome. It means that in a culturally diverse workforce, the rewards system should conform to different cultures to motivate the employees effectively. Although, in general, rewards may fall in financial, job content, career, job content, professional, and social status categories, the weight of each of the categories varies between countries. For instance, in Japan, the reward and incentive systems are primarily based on superiority, and more weight is placed on the bonus system. Additionally, in Japan, there is a significant discrepancy between temporary and regular workforces, with regular employees receiving noticeably more rewards (both in pay and job allocation) than the temporary workers. Rewarding of individual employees is frowned in Japan as it is seen to encourage competition within the…

She is on a quest to find out her ancestral connection and origin from Africa. It studies deep into the Atlantic Slave trade that took place in Ghana where her background is found. Hartman went to Ghana as a scholar and stayed there for a year researching into the save trade, intending on tracing the itinerary of destruction from the coast to savanna. The book is stimulating the thoughts on the scarring effect of slavery that still haunts the present-day.

This lost identity is what Hartman hides in the tittle Lose Your Mother. Hartman, among many other Africans living in America, faced a lot of challenges because of their skin color. She explains her feeling about the situation that she…
