They are essential in analyzing the financial performance of the company. Are important to investors because they give them relevant information about the company’s financial position so that they can make a decision about whether to invest in the company or not.

Displacement effect theory The “Displacement effect theory” posits that the human brain has a defense mechanism strategy of involuntarily displacing the unacceptable effects of a situation or person by an alternative situation that the mind deems acceptable (Walker, Gaviria, & Gopal, 2018). This theory argues that the displacement activity takes place unconsciously in the mind and it aims to find a satisfactory alternative that relieves stress, trauma, and other tensions from a person. The victims of sex trafficking suffer a lot of trauma because of the unfortunate ordeal at the hands of the sexual-offenses perpetrators. The trauma that victims of sex trafficking ordeals go through makes them become depressed, drug addicts, violent, and even commit suicide.

Ethnography in Construction Site             It was such a grateful day when I decided to visit a construction site around my homeplace for observation purposes. I did this on Saturday morning at around 10 am. Since I was not one of the construction workers, I just sat down on one side to observe the operations that were taking place in the site. It is a downscale construction site that is located approximately three hundred meters from my homeplace. I was an outsider in the construction site where I visited.

I only saw one man approaching and greeted me, “Good morning.” I respondent, “good morning to you.” He showed me a place to sit whereby, according to me, “he was the supervisor of that construction site” The reason is that he was going around inspecting the other construction workers and directing them on what they were supposed to do. In the construction site, my core objective was to observe all the operations that were…
