American and Chinese Culture Introduction The term culture is an umbrella term that encompasses the norms and social behavior that is found in human societies. It is also made up of the beliefs, knowledge, customs, laws, habits, and capabilities of the people who are in these cultural groups. Human beings tend to acquire culture using the learning process. This process mainly involves socialization and enculturation, which is primarily shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. As a matter of fact, a cultural norm tends to codify acceptable conduct in a community, and it also acts as a guideline to the way people behave, dress, speak and deal with a situation (Chung et al., 2014). It also acts as a template for e the expectations that a social group has. A monoculture is a social group that can bear risks, and it also shows the lack of functional responses to the change. Different nations have different cultures. American and Chinese have several different approaches to creativity and innovation. American Approach to Innovation and Creativity The American culture has used a…
Beliefs and needs Beliefs and needs are some of the most influential factors that govern the behavior of an individual. When one is born, the brain is often not fully developed. As such, they are always ready to gather information from the environment and form beliefs based on the collected information. People then act in ways that are consistent with their belief system. The beliefs then play an influential role in the way one behaves and how they build character and personality. This implies that the experiences that one gets as a child are responsible for developing their beliefs, and may last for the rest of their lives. According to Albert Bandura’s Social Learning theory, a child gets new behaviors by observing and imitating the people around them. This process is both cognitive and social and can take place even without any reinforcement. They also learn through observation the aspects of rewards and punishments. Therefore, if they see that a particular behavior is often punished, they are likely to desist from it. This learning process is what forms their belief…
primary sources of law in the United States of America Laws and regulations are norms of conduct legislated to maintain justice and stability in a society. The government of citizens is, therefore, based on laws and not the instincts of men. For without laws, humans would be but animals. Laws ensure that disputes are solved in a civilized manner, thereby maintaining peaceful co-existence within the society. Laws are drawn from sources which can either be primary or secondary. The primary sources of law in the United States of America include the U.S Constitution, federal and state statutes, case laws, and administrative regulations. The United States Constitution The Constitution forms the most fundamental source of law in a country that the government and every department draw authority from. The Constitution is the supreme law of the country from which other sources of law draw existence. Any other statute which is inconsistent or violates the Constitution is void to the extent of its inconsistency. The United States constitution provides Bill of Rights which protect the individual liberties of every citizen in the…
Putin signs law that allows him to Rule Russia beyond 2024. The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, today signed the law on constitutional amendments that allows him to remain in power beyond 2024, by granting him the right to run for reelection. The new Russia constitution amendments open up the possibility for Putin to remain in the Kremlin until 2036 since they have broken the current rules that barred a president from running for reelection after serving two six-year terms. Putin’s two six-year terms come to an end in 2024 Putin, who will be 83 in 2036, has been at the helm of Russia’s Governance since 2000, having held the post of President of the Republic for four terms. But between 2008 and 2012, he held the post of prime minister, in a move that was aimed at avoiding violation of the nation’s laws which allowed him only two consecutive terms, having been replaced by Dmitri Medvedev, a mere political protégé of his. Vladimir Putin signed the law on constitutional amendments after the Russian Federation Council, which functions as…

Christopher Ordaz My name is Christopher Ordaz; I am in my second year at Cedar Valley College. Hobbies are the activities we engage in to feel satisfaction, and, in other instances, activities we derive joy from. My hobbies include playing occasional multiplayer video games with my friends, going out on the weekend, and taking hikes. Also, I love taking trips around the country, visiting new interesting sites such as national parks. Besides all the fun activities I engage in, what I would like to do is to take some time right after college ends to travel the world. One of the reasons I want to travel soon after college is because traveling is a hobby that I enjoy. It provides opportunities to create lasting memories and connections or friendships. I also want to travel because traveling will make me more knowledgeable and culturally diverse in preparation for the job market. However, my parents and some of my friends are against the idea of arguing that it will be an expensive endeavor, and I have no means to pay for it.…
The framework of evidence-based policing and how it can be beneficial to the criminal justice field. Abstract This paper focuses on the literature review on the framework of evidence-based policing and how it improves the field of criminal justice. Most of the police departments and other law enforcement agencies have embraced the use of evidence-based policing to improve the efficiency of the criminal justice system. The literature shows there is great interconnectedness between evidence-based policing and advanced technology. This is because evidence-based policing leads to the evaluation of scientific methods and information to base their evidence. Policies use evidence-based in conducting an investigation, evaluating physical and forensic evidence, and connecting with offenders, which is beneficial to both policing department and field of criminal justice. Another scholar has established the link between criminal justice and evidence-based policing practices by ensuring there is substantial evidence presented in the court. It has led to a more effective way of conducting an investigation, presenting evidence and store of evidence for future relevance and retrieval. Other scholar focuses on the integration of evidence-based policing in…
the development of common law and statutory law Module 1 Module one discussed the development of common law and statutory law. It also highlighted the relationship between the legislature and the law-making process. Common law is the body of legal rules that are derived from the decisions made by the judges while ruling on a case (Friedman & Hayden, 2017). Under stare decisis (the doctrine judges consider when making a universal law), familiar law judges must consider prior decisions that are similar and base their judgments on the precedent. If this is not done, then the choices will likely be overruled later on in the legal process. An example is when the court decided that people who have lived together for over ten years have the right to share their assets. Statutory laws, on the other hand, is a body of law that is written and passed by a body legislature (Friedman & Hayden, 2017). Examples include criminal codes, tax laws, company formation regulations, and traffic regulations. A proposal to change or repeal an existing law or make a new…
. Explain the Impacts of Faith on Economic behavior “Life should be great, rather than long”. The words of Ambedkar are a genuine reflection of the kind of impression religion leaves on the believers. Ideally, the human race is a religious group. As much as there is a small percentage that does not believe in any supreme being, the rest of the people believe in a different religion. Since man began living in social groups, the aspect of faith has always been an integral part of his community. Over the years, people have grown to identify with different religions depending on their beliefs and the faith of their ancestors. Following this, many scholars have explored the role of religion in shaping the behavior and culture of human beings. It has, however, come to the attention of many scholars that the impact that religion has on the economy is not a field that has been explored to its exhaustiveness. The few that have evaluated this relationship has, however, established that religion has a significant impact on the economy of the believers.…
Persistent racial discrimination in the workplace Functionalism is very critical as it addresses constituent elements of the society that includes the institutions, customs, norms, and relevant traditions. In the early 90s, functionalism was highly criticized due to the lack of its capacity to account for social change or conflict and the structural contradictions. It was also condemned for ignoring some systematic inequalities such as class, gender, and race, which are the leading cause of conflict and tension in society. According to sociologist Michael Omi, the structural-functionalist framework is generally supposed to take the unifying role of culture and precisely the white man’s values in resolving and regulating conflicts. From this viewpoint, members of the society are identified as bounded, coherent, and having fundamental relations constructs that operate as an organism with all their different parts working together to realize a social equilibrium. Persistent racial discrimination in the workplace and other related social domains has resulted in an interest in the possible social conflict between different members of society. Unlike in the pre-colonial era, when discrimination and prejudice were widespread and…
