The Society for The Prevention of Cruelty to Dead Horses Watson psychological review attempts to break the traditional and the current theories on the concepts and the terminologies of psychology. Studies have shown that psychology gave attention and concentration on mental phenomena as alleged through self-consciousness (Watson, 1924). This was proved to be inefficient as such means would be subjective and would lead to a lack of objectivity and in return could not add value to scientific knowledge. Therefore, Watson opted to make psychology an objective and tentative branch of science through the introduction of the concept of behaviourism. When Koestler says “the society for the prevention of cruelty to the dead horses” he meant that human beings should not be forced to believe in models of the 19th century that ultimately does not completely solve their problems, he expounds on this in his book, “The Ghost In The Machine” by saying that ” science does not provide ultimate answers, but it can provide pertinent questions” (Koestler, 1968 p.10), he regards the 19th-century models as two distinct cultures which in…
The Pise of ‘Politicized Islam’ The use of Islam as a basis for political solidarity and action in the modern era is a continuing phenomenon. Gone is the time when Muslims came together and rallied behind each other in their efforts to rid themselves and their lands from foreign domination and occupation. Today, other factors such as immigration rise of rebel groups and geopolitical events such as the Arab spring have taken the forefront in contributing to the successful political emergence of politicized Islam. Immigration The immigration of Muslims in western countries and Europe has been associated with religious fundamentalism since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Arguments claim that only a small percentage of immigrants are associated with fundamentalism. Studies show that 60% of foreign-born and native-born immigrant generations believe that Muslims should adopt their roots. In comparison, 75% hold the belief that only one interpretation of the Quran is acceptable.[1] Generally, fundamentalism is higher among Muslim immigrants with primary education (which is the highest number) compared to those who have attended university. Notably, the country of origin of…
European Model of Restorative Justice In the European model of restorative justice (RJ), the aim is to incorporate the best interest of the offender in the justice process. One of the best ways to apply the European restorative model of justice is by creating mediation services that are voluntary to the people. This will attract people to this form of justice. The United States should ensure that the services that are offered by the mediation groups are uniform all through so that the process does not face resistance or contestation due to the discrepancy (Kinnunen et al., 2014). The services should also be available to all people who will give them the opportunity to decide the route to follow (Drost et al., 2015). Additionally, in the United States, there should be a determination of the cases that can be mediated since not all cases carry the same weight and introduce complex cases slowly (Kinnunen et al., 2014). The US should create legislation that will make room for the victim-offender mediation as well as provide the required finances to ensure the…
Role of Political Loyalties Iraq became a failed state in the years following Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003). Disagreements between the political parties was one of the reasons for the failure of the state after Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003). During the instance where members of parliament were supposed to elect a national parliament, the states three largest parties combined to form a coalition, the Iraqi Accordance Front (Gaub, 2017). The action indicated a new friendship among these parties that usually had diverse views. Consequently, United Iraqi Alliance that was led by Shi’ite and consisted of two Shi’ite political parties became more fractured. Such was as a result of the exit of prominent party members to start their own political parties before the elections. The fractures led to division of ideologies, which enhanced the opposition in the parliament. Furthermore, the ineffective leadership of the transitional Prime Minister, Ibrahim al-Ja’fari was part of the problem in the failure. The Prime Minister had been widely criticized by the Sunni Arabs, Kurds, as well as the Shi’ite leaders because of the mismanagement of government funds and…
Personal Leadership Essay In my early years, I thought leaders were people who only led big organizations and a country. I always underestimated leadership and never imagined that a father heading a family would be termed as a leader. I thought that leaders are only elected by others to lead in big platforms. They also had to be charismatic in leading their followers towards a particular path. This included having a persuasive speech and unmatched character that made them enviable to all. However, as my age progressed, I changed my views on this aspect. I started appreciating the responsibilities my father was undertaking in the family. I felt that leaders are not determined by the number of people being led or the size of the organization. My very first experience when it comes to witnessing a true leader was looking up to my dad as an entrepreneur and his common behavioral traits as a leader to help him manage his business and motivate his employees. He was a decisive leader that embraced change and always inspirational and empathetic. He always…

(Alexander, 2001). From the graph, monopolist maximizes profits at price and…

Financial Environment Summary The financial structure The financial management for not-for-profit organizations, government organizations, and for-profit organizations has a lot of differences and similarities. For-profit-organizations focus on profitability, not for profit organizations focuses on enhancing shareholder value while providing value in the healthcare system. On the other hand, government organizations’ financial management focuses on providing value for the public good and promoting initiatives that are good for the public. A not-for-profit organization, however, does not enjoy flexibility in its financial management plan because it does not engage in exchange transactions like it’s for-profit counterparts. The most important factor is ensuring that the donated resources are used optimally, unlike the for-profit, which receives payment for valuable healthcare services provided. For government organizations, they must ensure that tax payer’s money is managed optimally towards public good health outcomes that affect the health system on a larger scale. The financial management is more flexible and budgeted within government approximations. For example, the Center for Disease control plays a significant role in tacking and addressing regional health challenges of a broader scale and promoting…
