Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence, a document signed by about fifty-six delegates to pass grievances of the thirteen colonies against King George the III of Great Britain, formed the current United States. The content of the Declaration, though written several years ago, has remained a powerful instrument of liberty for several societies around the world seeking freedom from their oppressors (Becker, 2017). Though there are no precise subdivisions within the document, it has subsections addressing key issues right from the introduction to the conclusion. The introduction starts with a powerful statement that informs Great Britain why the colonies need to set themselves free from the rule of King George III and his government. In the same account, reference is made to God as well as the Laws of Nature, indicating that the writers indeed recognized the existence of religious freedom as well as the essential liberty bestowed upon every human being by nature.

Student Loans and How Government Subsidization Leads to Rising Tuition Institutions of higher learning have continued to increase the costs beyond attainable means by most of the students. The study revealed that increased students’ loans and government scholarships are the principal reasons why institutions increase the fees levied on their programs. Research 2015 suggests that student loans increase tuition fees by 58 cents at a given typical college, while more substantial impacts when reductions in institutional financial aid are incorporated. A study by NBER in 2016 explained that adjustments in student loans offered by federal institutions are evident in tuition increases at private nonprofit colleges. Moreover, an analysis conducted in 2014 revealed that the colleges, especially for profit that were legible for federal student aid tuition fees charges, were 78 % more than that of a similar institution but not legible for aid. Therefore, the funding provided to the student was a major contributory factor to the increase in tuition fees. The federal government offers more student loans and incurs more money on higher education compared to previous expenses on…

This system of government is characterized by the existence of a central authority to whom everyone in the state answers, the prohibition of any form of opposition, absence of democracy, and complete control over every sphere of the state.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND THE FUTURE Prompt 1. What is Intelligence? Many scholars define intelligence in many ways. Intelligence in general, understanding refers to the mental ability that enables an individual to learn readily, reason, and act effectively with an individual’s surroundings. Intelligence also entails the manipulation of the geometric forms and the acknowledgement of the variations of the pictured objects and their similarities, quantitative thinking, and abstract analysis. Can Intelligence be accurately constructed or measured? Intelligence analysts should always try to come up with recommendations that will help in making a well-grounded decision. The diagnosis of intelligence should have the basis of the analyst perception concerning why and how events usually occur in a certain way as pointed out by (Ghahramani, and Zoubin, 452). Once an individual observes an event, and he or she thinks and knows what is happening, the perception here tends to resist change. The construction and measurement of intelligence cannot be entirely accurate. Who is Raymond Kurzweil? Raymond Kurzweil is one of the world’s greatest living visionaries. He is the brain behind compelling technology and the…

Just like other states, Louisiana undergoes secession. Secession is described as the act of a state leaving the Union. The actual reason for this was actually due to states’ rights.

Some of the online publications include bulletins and newsletters. The organization should ensure that every staff could access online information using their phones and computers within the health care facility. Since all the employees in the organization have a connection to the email of the organization, it is easier to disseminate the results of the project using the organization email. The organization email ensures that every person who has the connection to the email can access and read the results and information disseminated to them. Besides, staffs can get information using printed fliers posted at the nursing station, the lunchrooms and the conference rooms (Gannaway et al., 2015). The printed fliers will help reach the employees who cannot access the online information. The fliers will provide further direction on how to access online publications.
