Also, Greenspan did not act as a statesman because his actions and decision led to the dot-com bubble. His action contributed to a sharp rise in the valuation multiples on stock on and other equities. The rise in the valuation of stocks meant that the same earnings would now worth excessively than expected. For instance, the action triggered the rise in the multiple of NAQSQAD, which was 100 times earnings. The new level of NASQAD was about six times greater than the median historical valuations. The rise in the valuation multiples consequently contributed to the dot-com bubble, which adversely affected the economy of the USA. The investments in the internet-based firms mainly fueled the crisis during the bull during the late 1990s. Moreover, the crisis caused various negative effects which include but are not limited to the acquisition and merger of companies, bankruptcy of firms, and the decline in the investment bond market. Dot-com bubble made many of the struggling firms to be merged or acquired by other companies, and this consequently affected the companies by reducing their profitability and…

Power poses The message from the video is that the way we pose could reflect highly on how people perceive us. Posing can also highly reflect on our personalities. There are specific poses that are considered power poses because they depict strength and assertiveness as well as confidence. There are also poses that depict timidity and weakness in a person. The video establishes that the way we pose can determine our confidence levels and the levels of confidence are determined by two types of hormones. The determining hormones are therefore testosterone and cortisol. Testosterone is the hormone that is associated with dominance assertiveness, power, and confidence. It means that people who have higher levels of testosterone are more confident than those with lower levels. The other hormone cortisol is associated with timidity. Cortisol is considered the stress hormone which means that the hormone facilitates the inability of a person to adapt well to high-stress situations. People with high levels of cortisol are therefore viewed as weak and timid. There are several resources used to establish this message in the video.…

Sustainable Bills management system Introduction The building blocks of our business ideas will be built upon the business model canvas covering four major areas; infrastructure,  offer, customers, and financial viability of our business.  The business ideas are an economic-based idea called Sustainable Bills Management System. The idea aims to help individuals both in the working and non-working class, manage their bill payment, and process the smart way.  Responsibility of any human begins way before birth. Parents are responsible for helping their children shape their future by putting a roof over their heads through rent, pay tuition fees, and providing healthcare coverage for them. That responsibility is passed along generation after generation. Our idea is to build a system where we take the burden of bills away from our customers by investing capital generated by our customers into successful businesses where the profit acquired is used to pay up the bills of our clients. Our clients and customers can then use their incomes to build family bonds, travel the world, and buy beautiful antiques and enjoy life and never have to…

The fundamental attribution error is like a personal defense mechanism where one shift blame for their behavior. They can blame external factors, including others, the environment with acknowledging that it could be a flaw in their inherent attributes. However, when other people display a specific behavior, these individuals will blame the character ignoring situational factors. Fundamental attribution error is a result of how people view the world. You can only understand yourself and the things that are going on in your life. You can be honest with yourself and comprehend the truthful reasons for your behavior. However, other individuals are complicated. You have no idea about their lives apart from what they show you or tell. To live well with others, you need to take a few steps to reduce this bias. This will make you a better manager or a team player in the workplace. An example of a fundamental attribution error A good example is how people tend to make some internal attributions blaming the victim. This may be warranted or not, but it does happen anyway. When…

A Sequential Study of Graduates’ Employment or Acceptance for Continued Education Problem Statement Global Problem There is a responsibility for universities, professors, and placement counsellors to provide evidence of a return on investment (ROI) for graduates and parents of students (Schomburg, 2017).  Universities and colleges are expected to provide superior instruction and guarantee that the graduates’ experience during their education establishes the skills and opportunities to facilitate a smooth transition to a professional career or matriculation to continual professional development (Backes-Gellner & Geel, 2014). Therefore, collectively, academic institutions need to provide graduates with skill sets to demonstrate qualification and proficiency for excellence in their professional performance, not just academia. The success indicators used to measure this responsibility consist of the placement rate statistic for both career placement and matriculation to advanced education program acceptance. Research Gap The primary goal of educational institutions is to provide the society with graduates who meet the necessary skills required in the job markets. Therefore, it’s the responsibility of the universities, professors, and placement counsellors to provide essential evidence of return on investment that the…

Behavioral data collection In this case study, Tyler engages in vocal stereotypy in school. In behavioral data collection, the stereotyping can be described as off-task behavior because it affects his ability to complete school tasks on time. It is indicated that the behavior forces the student to complete his classwork for homework in the evening. Even at home, the off-task behavior effects Tyler’s ability to complete his homework. Since off-task behavior cannot be measured on its own, it cannot be described as a variable. Duration of off-task behavior and frequency of off-task behavior are two dependent variables that can be used as dependent variables for this case study (“IRIS | Behavior: Duration and Latency Recording”, 2020). The duration of off-task behavior will show how long Tyler engages in scripting instead of focusing on completing his assignment. Frequency of off-task behavior- in this case, vocal stereotypy and scripting, can also be used as a dependent variable because it helps in determining the number of times the off-task behavior is occurring within a specified period (“IRIS | Behavior: Frequency and Interval Recording”,…

The African Wild Dog The African wild dog is one of the most successful hunters on the African plains.

The Corona Virus Pandemic Coronavirus is believed to have first been reported in the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan, China, according to the public mind. At the same time, other reliable sources quote Wuhan labs as the source of the virus. According to Laurie (2020), China’s inability to control the infection endangered the stability of life worldwide. Controversies started hitting the sky waves on the real number of those affected and succumbed to the pandemic in China. The major English speaking nations, U.S, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were at loggerhead with China for lack of transparency and careless handling the virus. Additionally, China was blamed by the U.S for providing false information that Covid-19 was not a human to human transmission virus (Scissors, 2020). The human to human transmission misinformation was claiming as many lives as possible as safety measures were ignored. The economy has been impacted negatively worldwide. There are many sets of unresolved questions, but why was China misinforming the public about Corona numbers to the world? It remains a misery whether the coronavirus was…
