Discussion Board Post Real Estate Law The real estate contract can be salvaged when one element is missing, and this is the element of their being a written agreement. A contract between two people can be expressed in various forms to include verbal form and not necessarily written form. For example, in case I promise my neighbor that I will sell him my car at 2,000 dollars without putting this in written, the response from my neighbor of giving me the requested amount as per the agreement makes the contract valid. However, there has to be mutual agreement, legal capacity, lawful purpose, and consideration, all of which are evident in the contract between my neighbor and I. Therefore, missing one element of having the contract in written form does not make it invalid.The real estate contract can be salvaged when one element is missing, and this is the element of their being a written agreement.

The Pursuit of Beauty in Korean Society “People don’t understand the need for me to look perfect”. The words of Kim Kardashian are a reflection of the nature of Korean women. Contemporary society has created a new culture that puts pressure on women, particularly the women of South Korea, to look their best. As such, women have gone out of their way to reach the meaning and the overall description of beauty. The most surprising fact of it all is that there is a standard that has been set to meet the requirements for beauty.

Social and Cultural Identity Introduction Social identity is a major concept that revolves around any culture. The concept tends to focus on the uniqueness of a certain culture as a social aspect. On a broader perspective, social identity takes the lane of defining certain groups of individuals based on their social life. Most often, social identity can be addressed through several sources. There are five main sources of social identity, which include gender, social class, region, age, and ethnicity (Rao, 2018). These help an individual identify their culture as well as social life, especially in most cultural events.

Social and Economic Justice Justice refers to a set of universal values that assists in guiding an individual to judge what is wrong and right, regardless of the society or culture in which they live. Social justice is, therefore, the manner in which the manifestation of human rights happens in an individuals’ everyday lives at any given level in society (Jackson & Usher, 2019). Clerk argued that that social justice constitutes a concept of a just and fair relationship between the society and individual and can be gauged by how opportunities for personal activities and wealth, as well as social privileges, are distributed among people (Jackson & Usher, 2019). Furthermore, Clerk maintained that social justice encompasses values like equal wealth to every citizen as well as the rights of meeting their basic requirements. On the other hand, economic justice, which concerns social order as well as an individual person, entails moral principles which assist us in designing a good economic institution (Lombard & Twikirize, 2014). It is these institutions that help in determining how every individual earns a living, exchange…
NATIONAL CULTURE AS MODERATOR BETWEEN SOCIAL NORM, RELIGIOSITY, AND TAX EVASION: META-ANALYSIS STUDY Abstract. The research purpose is to present meta-analysis results of the relationship between social norms and religiosity on tax evasion using national culture as a moderator variable. The previous results showed mixed results about the relationship between social norms, religiosity, and tax evasion. Meta-analysis is considered as a way out of saturated and inconsistent research because it provides an efficient and systematic approach to provide robust conclusions. This research is synthesizing a total of 54 results from 14 individual articles published from 1989 to 2017. This study shows three main findings. Although social norms are not effective in combating tax evasion, religiosity is a useful tool in decreasing tax evasion. Theoretically, national culture plays a vital role as moderating variables of social norm and religiosity on tax evasion. Still, this variable cannot moderate the relationship between both two independent variables and tax evasion. These findings show that the theory of planned behavior is inconsistent in predicting the influence of social norms on tax evasion. In practice,…

Effective policies are needed for an effective performance appraisal plan (PAP). A PAP requires both inputs of the management, the human resource, and the employees. As such, an organization should focus n ensuring that proper policies such as elimination of nepotism and favoritism are considered when creating an effective plan (Bratton & Gold, 2017).
