Civil Disobedience Discussion The quote I have picked from “Excerpts from Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience” is “The law is the law and should be respected regardless of content.” I agree with Thoreaus’s sentiment. The criticism that Thoreaus provides aims at the type of respect that coils from a genuine honor for the government authorities. In this criticism, a good man is likely to become agents of injustice actions. The one thing that makes me agree with Thoreau’s notion is because not all laws are equal, but they should be respected. For instance, some acts, such as laws against tax evasion and contempt of court, exist for other various reasons other than guarding or protecting the government. In most cases, such laws are likely to have more severe penalties than the laws protecting people against violence. When someone denies the government authority, it becomes sweeping and vague, and it is likely to invite arbitrary jail terms for that individual. The courts and lawyers are always part of the government’s defensive machinery. Hence, this is why the court fails to protect Thoreaus after…

HOW DO EMOTIONS POSITIVELY AND NEGATIVELY INFLUENCE CRITICAL THINKING? As a survival instinct, the human brain is biologically wired to give priority to emotions. Emotions such as fear and terror caused by dangerous triggers such as the sight of a wild animal can induce fight or flight responses are generated. In such a situation, the fear and terror emotions can positively influence an individual and naturally trigger the individual to think about saving their life either by fighting or flight. Safety, therefore, evaluate possible options.   Alternatively, emotions can be barriers to critical thinking. If the emotions are too intense, the individual can enter into an emotional hijack where all critical reasoning opportunities are lost. In such, the emotions may lead to an involuntary human freeze response where the body enters into a temporary passivity. DESCRIBE HOW YOU BALANCE YOUR EMOTION AND REASON WHEN MAKING DECISIONS. INCLUDE AN EXAMPLE OF WHEN YOU HAD TO USE BOTH. When encountering challenges, emotions such as fear can be a barrier and limit an individual from critiquing. During my 16th birthday, I decided to invite…

CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.0 Introduction This chapter will provide an overview of how the research is conducted to achieve the stated objectives. In more detail, it discusses every component involved in conducting the research from research design, research approach, procedures for sampling, target population, data collection techniques and methods, measurement of variables, and data analysis technique. 3.1 Research Design   In this study, it employed a quantitative method on the factors influencing usage behaviour, experience response, and cross-category usage of fashion goods among mobile users in Malaysia. The quantitative method provides the fundamental link between empirical investigation of phenomena and mathematical expression of quantitative relations through statistics and the processing of numerical data ( Basias, N., Pollalis, Y., 2018). Moreover, it utilizes correlational study which is used to clarify the cause and effect relationship(correlations) between variables and test the theory that includes independent variables (IV), dependent variables (DV) as well as mediator variables (transmitters) (Kothari, 2004). This research also is deemed to be a cross-sectional study which allows researchers to collect data and evaluate various variable at a single point in…

According to the world health organization, adolescent age ranges from 10-19 years (Berk, 2019). Therefore, childhood development takes place from the time the child is born to the age of 9. Adolescent development, on the other hand, is a period of transition that falls between childhood and adulthood. In this phase of life, people undergo changes that are similar to those in childhood development such as physical, mental and emotional changes with other additional changes such as personality and social development.

Comparison of Biomedical Product Development in the United States and Singapore Introduction Over the past years, biomedical research has proved impactful in improving and advancing healthcare systems across the globe. By integrating knowledge from the chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences fields, a foundation of unleveled knowledge on concepts of organs and tissue molecular compositions has proved reliable in healthcare improvement. Chen et al. (2018) indicate that biomedical research has developed innovative processes, biologies, devices, and interventions for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment hence contributing to the increased health improvement. However, the safety of biomedical products is a vital element that attracts regulatory systems for humanity’s welfare. Ideally, these products have a ranged rate of risk levels that requires regulation to ensure that despite their effectiveness, their flaws do not outrun their efficiency to the humans. In this light, it is worth noting that biomedical product development management is comprehensive and varies widely across the globe. More so, control of these processes evolves continuously due to the need for better consistent approaches to regulatory documentation. The World Health Organization offers an…

Levels of Care Work addiction just like any other form of addiction, it does create mental health problems for the affected individual. However, if treatment is adopted then one can be able to overcome this. Due to this, there are various levels of treatment that are known for treating substance use disorders and other addictions. This paper will highlight the most appropriate level of treatment for treating work addiction. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) recognizes four separate levels of care. Out of the four levels of care, the ideal level of care for work addiction is outpatient treatment.

CHAPTHER I INTRODUCTION The researcher concern more on a problem that mushroomed in the society. It also expected that the research results could be used as a milestone for someone’s assessment of something. Here the author sees that the Indonesian political trend is increasingly slipping due to the political stakeholders not giving their whole soul and effort to realize better social welfare. In fact, many members of political parties or even legislative councils are enthroned to fulfill certain goals for some interest groups. This phenomenon is happening because someone does something not in accordance with the portion and the capacity. For example, a sick person should be referred to see the doctor to diagnose which type of illness the person possesses and find an appropriate medicine to cure the disease and not to see the carpenter. If people want to make a cupboard, they should go to a carpenter, not a veterinarian. In short, everything must be handled by their respective expert because humans have their limitations. Interestingly, celebrities in Indonesia which in its nature as a public figure whose…

Income Tax in America Taxation in America In its quest to raise monies to support public spending, the government employs a couple of methods which only differ depending on their characteristics. First, there is the use of taxes.  Taxes come in various forms such a: income tax which is a tax charged on the net salary earned by an individual. Corporate tax is the tax companies are charged based on the profit they earn. Sales tax is charged on any amount earned from sales transactions and property tax is charged from the value of a given real estate (Duff, 2004). Second, a government can also raise funds by charging user fees. Individuals are charged these fees for the benefits derived from using certain government facilities. The more one uses them, the higher the fees charged. If an individual does not use these facilities, no fee is charged. Lastly, a government can raise funds through penalties from the regulation of civil and criminal activities (Sun & Jung, 2012). Origin of Income Tax in America The first ever tax paid on income was during…
