AI Ethics and Rights The rapid exponential rate at which Artificial Intelligence continues to develop has cause reason to consider the effects which it would have on overall human morality, autonomy, even human intelligence. The rate at which AI continues to develop indicates that it will attain some semblance of autonomy and the ability to make independent decisions in a matter of years or less. It, therefore, becomes a valid question what the motivations behind these decisions would be, and who becomes responsible for these decisions, if catastrophes arise from these decisions. Some fundamental human rights are also placed in potential jeopardy with the continued development of Artificial Intelligence through machine learning. Amongst these are the rights to privacy, the rights to equality, and the rights to the prohibition of equality (Mantelero, 2018). It is worth deep consideration of the whole range of effects that any further development of AI would result for humankind on the moral, intellectual, and human rights and autonomy fronts.

Seven-step Fundraising Strategy for Local Home Church Introduction Today’s financial climate is volatile. Therefore, charities, organizations and individuals must continually reassess their ability and skills to generate funding. For several organizations, particularly those reliant on donor funding and government grants, fundraising remains a significant component of getting income.

They mostly pose as those born from the 1990s to the present state. Based on surveys conducted, this generation has displayed four distinct sets of behaviors that are more or less founded upon the need for truth. The generation has distanced itself from the input of labels and opted for the expression of the individual self. Another character they possess is a profound need for dialogue, especially in dispute settlement.

The Link between Gender and Jealousy Abstract Mindfulness is a common trait occurring in both genders. Numerous studies have been conducted on the influence that gender has on mindfulness among individuals. Most of the studies propose that either gender has higher levels of mindfulness than the other, while others suggest a similar degree of mindfulness in both. The minimal consensus and inconclusive results regarding the subject, therefore, necessitated an additional study on mindfulness among genders. The study involved 77 participants whose levels of mindfulness were gauged through the use of 15 hypothetical scenario questions using a self –Report Mindfulness Attention Awareness scale. Male participants scored a higher average mindfulness score in comparison to their female counterparts. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two scores leading to the conclusion that gender was not a significant variable in determining mindfulness among individuals. Keywords: gender, male, female, mindfulness The Link between Gender and Mindfulness Mindfulness refers to one’s capability to be present in the moment without succumbing to distractions about past or future events. It refers to being in the…
Environmental Pollution and Climate Change Part 1 Some of the concepts that were discussed in class concerning ecological paradigms include the idea of environmental justice. Ideally, this concept is used to refer to the concept of equally distributing resources that are responsible for the betterment of the environment as well as the aspect of sharing the burdens in the environment equally in the society. It came to the attention of many researchers that many corporate firms tend to evade the charges that come with environmental pollution. Environmental justice aims to ensure that the interaction between the economy and ecology is sensual in the aspect that the benefits and the burdens of the environment are distributed equally.

This idea is used to refer to the thought that nature is a resource for all humanity, and so it should meet the needs of these people. Some scholars, however, argue that the idea of conquest mentalities are used when referring to the fact that human beings…
Understanding The Construction of the Society The contemporary society has created an environment in which most of the information that is obtained is used in analyzing a concept. To be particular, most of the data that has been collected in the contemporary times has been used to statistically analyze events and also predict the occurrence of future events. Taking an example of the changing economy from an agriculturally based one to a business-oriented with the incorporation of advanced technology, that has contributed to the improvements of the business world.

Discussion of Leadership Resources are a contending need in a health care setting that may affect the development of policy. The management should develop a policy that promotes a balanced allocation of financial and human resources to all departments and initiatives (Hardin, Kilian, & Spykerman, 2017). The management has the mandate to determine the actual needs before allocating resources. In this case, these needs may hinder the development of policies in cases where the hospital intends to practice economies of scale. For instance, the management may focus on reducing the cost of operation by allowing nurses to work for longer hours. However, the situation may lower the quality of services delivered to patients due to increased errors in service delivery. Patients are a pressing need that might affect the understanding of diagnosis and management of obesity. The number of patients who require acute care may be high, which may affect the learning abilities of the nurses (Hardin, Kilian, & Spykerman, 2017). The statement implies that it might be hard to train the nurses on the diagnosis and management of the…
Construction of Chinese Culture after the Socialism Era “Call it democracy, call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within the country for all God’s children”. The words of Martin Luther King are a genuine reflection of the relationship that is shared within a society. The concept of Socialism has been a considerable part of many nations for a long time now. China for instance, managed to get rid of Socialism and begun the creation of its social construction after Socialism, giving rise to the concept that is known as the post-socialist era. This concept is a term that is used to describe the situation in which a phenomenon or an idea, which does not conform to the Marxist ideologies about the society but has significant impacts on the nation in terms of cultural influences on the existing culture.

Rebecca Walker: Feminism Rebecca Walker’s position perfectly portrays the perception held, back then, until now, of feminism. In many peoples’ minds, as she explains, feminism is confining instead of liberating. Outspoken feminists, in the world over, according to popular belief, are perceived to have taken a stand that cannot be renounced. Yet, this idea of feminism, in a world of transgender, bisexual, interracial, cannot flourish. One will be forced, sooner rather than later, to renounce his or her prior stand and adopt another one. My generation is not beyond binary thinking; as a matter of fact, it is plagued by the same. What do I mean? Despite the changes that are manifest from every corner of the globe—the increased appearances of bisexuals, transgender, and the many races, millions still cling stubbornly upon binary thinking. They do not believe in anything else apart from male or female, white or any other race, among others. Indeed, without a doubt, most people find feminism more confining than liberating. In the light of the changes in gender, sex, and race now becoming prevalent in…
