House Crickets Experiment
Introduction Animals usually compete for resources, mostly food, and the motivation to fight is
directly related to how much of a resource exists in that environment according to Nosil (2002). The
residency effects of House Crickets most likely follows the trend of other species; animals tend to be
territorial and the space that they reside in is their space. They will defend it if another animal
invades and poses a threat. This was already assumed prior to the House Cricket experiment. The
House Cricket was the organism in this experiment, which is native to Europe, but more recently
found in the eastern United States by Alexander (1961) as well as southern California according to
Weissman and Rentz (1977). This study tests the hypothesis ... Show more content on

One week before the experiment was performed, small environments were created for the crickets.
This was made in a round plastic container that was 5 centimeters tall and had a radius of 5.5
centimeters. Inside the container was a damp paper towel used as substrate for the crickets. In
addition there was a piece of food in there. Holes were poked in the container to allow air flow. On
the day of the experiment, two crickets were obtained in their containers. One of the crickets was
marked with a paint pen to identify them as the intruder. This intruder was placed in the resident
cricket container. Timing began when it was placed inside. The timer ran for ten minutes and during
that time the number of wins was recorded for each cricket. A loss was deemed as the first cricket to
turn away in a confrontation. A win was marked to the cricket that maintained its position. If there
was no obvious outcome, it was a tie. The overall winner was the cricket with the most wins marked
in that ten minute period. If there was a tie, the process was repeated for an additional minute to
determine a winner. At the end of the ten minute trial, the intruder was returned to its original

Cities Before Planning: Development, Consequences and Challenges
To understand the ancient and pre–industrial cities, learn from urban history, and explore the
conditions that led to the appearance of formal planning, different approaches to ancient urban
planning have been researched by previous studies. Based on ancient urban planning literature, this
paper summarizes the development of ancient cities before the Industrial Revolution, explores the
consequences and challenges of the absence of formal urban planning. The first part of the paper
focuses on the development of large urban settlement before the formal planning. The second part of
the paper discusses the challenges and consequences of the absence of formal planning within
ancient cities.
Introduction
Like consciousness, planning is an indefinable concept with many different associations and
approaches. Before the discussion of ancient cities and formal planning, it is necessary to clarify
several turning points and stages. First, the appearance of formal planning was discussed by many
scholars and researchers. Kruekeberg classified the city history from 1840 to 1910 as the origins of
urban planning (Krueckeberg, 1983). Fainstein and DeFilippis used the first National Conference on
City Planning hold on 1909 as the defining event of modern formal planning (Campbell & Fainstein,
1996). However, there is no doubt that the

Compare And Contrast Atticus And To Kill A Mockingbird
A tale of childhood and an Alabama town's troubles with racism is spun from the novel of To Kill a
Mockingbird. Most critics, however, claim that the two missions the main characters undertake are
not connected well. On the contrary, Harper Lee successfully intertwines the two storylines of To
Kill a Mockingbird to create a more profound statement on the interaction of people with clashing
ideologies. The two stories enrich each other by showing the parallels of the kids' and Atticus's goal
to change unshakable behaviors, comparing and contrasting the two parties' methods, and by tying
together the two adventures in a way that address both possible outcomes. Many believe the tales
are too different to put together, but both worlds' objective are more similar than they seem. The two
storylines may appear to have two different end goals, but Atticus and the kids really have the same
mission; they want to change people's habits. The kids looks to get Boo Radley out of his house out
of sheer curiosity. Atticus also wants to change the town's opinion on African Americans. He
demonstrates this after a court battle while he was defending his black client. He proclaims to the
audience, "I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence you have
heard, come to a decision, and restore this defendant to his family. In the name of God, do your

Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis
Diagnosis and management of Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EGE) requires a background knowledge
of hallmark characteristics, the use of medical procedures for differential diagnosis and a
multidimensional approach to treatment (Ingle & Hinge, 2013). Diagnosis begins with identifying
gastrointestinal symptoms of EGE, eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract, exclusion of
parasitic disease and the lack of other systemic involvement (Ingle & Hinge, 2013). Treatment
options for EGE include dietary restrictions and steroid use or a combination of both depending on
the determined reason for onset. Overall, the lack of information on EGE is telling of the rarity of
the disease, with only 280 cases being described in the literature before 2013 (Mori, ... Show more

Hargrove, Sleisenger, & Jeffries (1970) classified EGE by the anatomical location of the
eosinophilic infiltration within the three layers of the intestinal tract: the mucosal, muscularis and
subserosal layers. In 1990, Talley, Shorter, Phillips, & Zinsmeister (1990) proposed three diagnostic

1970 Civil Defense
The fact that these lack any reference to fear or anger demonstrates that civil defense was working
remarkably well in North Dakota in 1964.
While civil defense was effective in 1964, six years passed before protests over the ABM emerged.
Civil defense had more than enough time to erode during this time, but it did not. Government–
produced civil defense literature produced between 1964 and 1970 shows the government still had
an interest in promoting the psychological purpose of civil defense. Material produced by local civil
defense groups, as well as further newspaper coverage, demonstrated this was successful.
The first sources to examine are the Government plans regarding civil defense in the six–year period

Causes Of The Fabian Movement
The economic climate of the latter half of the 19th century was one of upheaval. London was quite
influenced by several socialist thinkers during this time including Karl Marx. Marx passed away in
1883, leaving behind many radical socialists who influenced the burgeoning Fabian Movement.
H.M. Hyndman and Henry George were two important figures who wrote pivotal pieces of
literature. Henry George published Progress and Poverty in 1879 and greatly influenced many of the
socialists who came into the Fabian Society (Fremantle, 1961, p.20). Two years later, H.M.
Hyndman wrote England for All and later that year went on to found the Democratic Federation
(later called the Social Democratic Federation) (Fremantle, 1961, p. 22). Both George and Hyndman
were fans of Marx and believed in his violent revolutionary ideology yet, what helped form the
Fabians was their dislike of this particular tenet.
Laissez–faire Liberalism and its twin Capitalism were major sources of disproval for the individuals
who would go on to create the Fabian Society in 1884. Laissez–faire liberalism was seen to be the
source of much unrest and unhappiness among the impoverished in the world. They saw the system
of Capitalism to be an oppressive, tyrannical system. W.L. Phillips, the Society's only working class
member said the following, "The workers must and will shake off their blind faith in the
Commercial god Competition, and realize the responsibility of their unused powers" (Pugh, 1984, p.

Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee
Anne Frank once stated, "Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the
final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." This guidance can go hand in hand
with the theme growing up, when older characters give advice to children or siblings.Growing up is
used frequently in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Harper Lee uses the theme
growing up in To Kill a Mockingbird to change characters opinion, develop characters through their
world, and utilizes prejudice to reveal growing up.
One major cause growing up is used in To Kill a Mockingbird is to represent a change of opinion.
One part growing up was shown in is through the trial in part two of the novel.
During the trial Jem was so sure that his father Atticus was going to win the trial. Jem was so
excited and so certain he was going to win for Tom. When they didn't win J me was knocked down a
few pages . Jem was jumping in excitement. "We 've won, haven 't we?" "I 've no idea," pronounced
Atticus shortly. Actually, Atticus does have a pretty vigorous idea. He is confident he will lose,
despite his best efforts. He knows that the jury would never acquit a black man accused of raping a
white woman, even if there was no way he could have committed the crime. The racism was just too

To Kill a Mockingbird:Accepting people in the minority
"It is noble to love another without caring to know who gave them breath." says Cornelius Elmore
Addison, in his book, Tom Thorneval: Dream Merchant Extraordinaire. People who are kind to
others without judging their families, are noble. This relates to the book To Kill a Mockingbird by
Harper Lee because many characters are judging others or are being criticized because of their
wealth and how kind they are. The book takes place in Maycomb, Alabama, in the 1930's. The main
characters are Jem and Scout. Atticus, Jem and Scout's father, is a lawyer. Arthur Radley (also
known as Boo Radley) has never been seen out of his house in fifteen years. Scout's Aunt,
Alexandra, is wealthy and self–centered. The Ewells are not wealthy and they are rude to people.
The book To Kill a Mockingbird shows that in general, people are not very accepting of others who
are different than the majority. Alexandra judges others, while the Radleys, Burrus Ewell and the
Cunninghams are being criticized.
The Radleys are being criticized because of the rumors spread about them, and people are scared of
him. When Scout is describing the Radley house, she explained, "the Radley chickenyard tall pecan
trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard, but the nuts lay untouched by the children: Radley pecans

The Rural Economy Of Fiji
Sugarcane industry, today dominates the rural economy of Fiji and employs a large number of rural
population. The first sugar, introduced by the European colonists, was produced in Fiji in 1862
around the flatland areas near Suva (now the capital city of the country) due to the availability of
fertile alluvial soils (FSC 2014). However, after the first few years the center of production shifted
to the rural western and northern parts of Fiji's two biggest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu (also
known as the 'cane belt area'), due to the fact that sugarcane needs dryer areas for better quality of
sugar to be produced (Ward 1965; Mayer 1961). Whilst the majority of the growers are Fiji Indians,

Sugar contributed 8 percent of the Gross Domestic Production (Fiji Island Bureau of Statistics
2015). In short, sugar industry is still vital for Fiji's economy and the significance of the industry is
still substantial to Fiji's rural economy (Paresh and Biman 2003).
For the purpose of this essay, the rural livelihoods of Fiji Indian sugarcane farmers will be discussed
in relation to the sustainable livelihood framework. Chambers and Conway (1992, p. 6) defines
'sustainable livelihood' as:
A livelihood comprises the capabilities, assets (including both material and social resources) and
activities required for a means of living. A livelihood is sustainable when it can cope with and
recover from stresses and shocks, maintain or enhance its capabilities and assets, while not
undermining the natural resource base.
On the other hand, Scoones (2015, p. 11) argues 'rural livelihood' is more than agriculture and
farming, it includes off–farm activities such as rural employment and migration as means of links to
the urban areas. This essay, thus, will first explore the livelihood assets of rural farmers, that is, the
human, physical, natural, financial and social capitals. Secondly, it will discuss the vulnerability
contexts affecting the farmers, such as, the shocks, trends and seasonality. Thirdly, this essay will

them know that with him as commander–in–chief, America would "pay any price, bear any burden,
meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and success

Social Judgment Theory Essay
Abstract
The best theory to addresses how people's attitudes change as situations and involvement change is
social judgment theory. A review of the literature on social judgment theory (SJT) improves
understanding of one's own judgment process and of one's work, marital and interpersonal
relationship. The social judgment theory of attitude change was first presented by the U.S.–based
Turkish psychologist Muzafer Sherif (1906–88) and the U.S. psychologist Carl I(vor) Hovland
(1912–61) in Social Judgment (1961). SJT attempted to explain how attitude change is influenced
by judgmental processes. The focus of SJT was about attitude change on a specific issue that results
from judgments on related issues. This study provides insight literature ... Show more content on

However, Carl Hovland died before completing the book Social Judgment in 1961, thus Sherif
carried on their study and published the book after Hovland's death (Sherif & Hovland, 1961).
Carolyn W. Sherif, Muzafer Sherif's wife, is one of primary theorist of social judgment theory
(Sherif et al., 1965). Carolyn W. Sherif and Muzafer integrated the social judgment–involvement
approach into the study of individual attitude and behavior within the patterned interaction of such
groups in Attitude and Attitude Change: The Social Judgment–Involvement Approach (1965), the
book in which the social judgment–involvement theory is detailed.
Fundamental Theoretical Ideas
The focus of SJT is that an attitude change on a specific issue will result from judgments on related
issues. Because we cannot observe a person's attitude using traditional research methods, therefore
the social judgment theory was developed (Sherif & Sherif, 1968). Based on Muzafer Sherif and
Carl Hovland's research (1961), they establish the ordered alternative questionnaire to measure the
judgments. The questionnaire requires that the participant rate a list of statements as being
acceptable, objectionable, or non–commitment (neither acceptable nor objectionable). An
individual's latitudes of acceptance, rejection, and non–commitment represent an individual's
feelings about the topics. According to Sherif et al.

The first one is the 'island mode', which later contributed a lot to Japanese detective storywriters.
This mode has a very well–known representative, the novel "And then there were none", originally
named "Ten little Indians", Christie creates ten different main characters of different social status,
who are lured into coming to an island under different pretexts, e.g. offers of employment or to
enjoy a late summer holiday, or to meet old friends. All have been complicit in the death(s) of other
human beings but either escaped justice or committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction.
Besides, their ways of death are strictly followed by verses of the old folk 'Ten little Indians'.
Finally, all characters died on that isolated island. This novel is the founder of the 'island mode',
which means a group of people who have no or little relationship between each other gathered in a
specific place, but because of some weather changes they are isolated from the outside world.
During this period, murders take place in this place, while at the same time the murderer hides
himself/herself inside the innocent. Therefore, this kind of detective stories usually gives people a
sense of nerves by creating an atmosphere of horror. The second mode is that the murderer
sometimes has an accomplice to help the murderer commit a crime or get rid of his/her guilt. The

Rebellion In John Updike's A & M
The 1960's was a time of rebellion. African Americans rebelled against a corrupt justice system and
police force. People across America, especially young people, protested the Vietnam War. The
1960's were a pivotal time in the United States chockful of rebellion and unrest, so it's natural that
the arts and literature of the time reflected this. The short story A&M features strong themes of
rebellion in most aspects of the story, from Sammy quitting to the girls leaving without thanking
him. But the most prominent examples of rebellion in this story by the "bikini girls" are the girls
wearing the bikinis in the first place and the girls insisting they are decent when Mr. Lengel

Lengel. When Mr. Lengel confronts Queenie, initially stating "Girls, this isn't the beach" (Updike,
1961), Queenie does not offer an apology. She offers a valid reason as to why she was in the store,
which was "my mother asked me to pick up a jar of herring snacks." When Mr. Lengel repeats
himself after Queenie's rebuttal, Queenie still never says the word "sorry." Instead, she tries to
reason with Mr. Lengel, elaborating as to why they were in the A&P. One of the other bikini girls
comes to Queenie's defense and says "we weren't doing any shopping. We just came in for the one
thing." When Lengel eventually goes as far as to slut–shame them, saying "we want you decently
dressed when you come in here," Queenie still doesn't falter. In fact, she looks him in the eye and
retorts "we are decent." They then proceed to buy the herring and leave the store, ignoring his final

Open Systems
Why Open Systems Theory?: The open systems approach has been chosen to study the above issues
because it has been commended for its potential usefulness in "synthesizing and analyzing
complexity" (Simon, 1969) in "live" organizations. Comprehension of a system cannot be achieved
without a constant study of the forces that impinge upon it (Katz and Kahn, 1966). Leavitt, Pinfield
and Webb (1974) also recommended an open– systems approach for studying contemporary
organizations which now exist in a fast–changing and turbulent environment. Ramstrom (1974)
propounds increased emphasis on systems thinking to comprehend the increased interdependencies
between the system and its environment, and between the various parts of the system. Classical ...

He was finally able to participate in World War I as a voluntary ambulance driver for the Red Cross,

the nineteen year old was severely injured on the Austro–Italian front and hospitalized in Milan and
had an affair with a Red Cross nurse named Agnes Von Kurowsky, who turned down his proposal to
marriage. War punctuated Ernest Hemingway's life and career (Ernest Hemingway 1024). The

Hemingway's most popular and critically acclaimed novels was A Farewell to Arms (Hemingway,
Ernest (Miller) 1899–1961 1). Hemingway was given two decorations by the Italian government,

of the Spanish Civil War inspired For Whom the Bell Tolls. After he returned home to his family in
Chicago to recuperate, he worked as a foreign correspondent for The Toronto Star. In Chicago, he

First of all, the conformity is one of similarity in both stories because everybody follows the rules

Harrison Bergeron (1961) is set in a future dystopian America in 2081, which it is often seen as a
powerful critique of the authoritarian state. This story is a form of fiction in which a society's
attempt to develop a great world goes wrong. While the main theme is people are made equal by
device such as technology (masks, radio, television), this is shown to be the dark side of an ideal.
According to Kurt Vonnegut's story (1961), "nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was
better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else" (p. 1). In

America's Declaration of Independence in the phrase "All men are created equal", but the writer

Typology Of Leadership Essay
Contemporary research focusses primarily on the influential concepts of transformational and
transactional leadership (Bass, 1999)[40], two leadership styles that have received much attention
over the past decades.
Leadership theory is plagued by a lack of integration both within and across the trait and behaviour
paradigms (Derue, Nehrgang, Wellman & Humphrey, 2011)[41]. There are simply too many
leadership theories and too little integration, comparison or contrast. Over the years, some
developed taxonomies appear to have common tendencies and/or correlate strongly, yet as said there
is a lack of integration of these styles in the literature. To assess the relationship between leadership
styles and commitment according to literature, a typology of leadership is needed that is both as

Intuitively, countries that adopt ELI need markets to which they can export. Import substitution
industrialization, which focuses on domestic industrial production, has less of an emphasis on
creating goods for the international market. In contrast, countries that follow an export–led
industrialization strategy, by the very nature of ELI, must find markets to which they can export
their goods. In the absence of sufficient demand, ELI strategies fail. Put positively, ELI strategies
require sufficient demand for the goods of the country in question. Where, then, does demand come
from? This is a particularly vexing problem. It seems a reasonable intuition that developing
countries would not, prima facie, produce goods of sufficient quality that external, developed
markets would demand. Moreover, only developed markets would be worthwhile targets for exports;
exports to developing markets would not provide sufficient capital flows to fuel transformation into
a developed country. In other words, embarking upon an ELI strategy is a fundamental catch–22. A
solution to this problem of demand is the presence of not only a willing market for the developing
country's goods, but also a market that is willing to make investments of capital and technology into
that developing country. Doing so would enable domestic firms to develop their industry to levels of

Literary Devices In Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth
Norton Juster's book, The Phantom Tollbooth successfully used different types of literary devices to
introduce the main theme of the novel which was the importance of education. Juster told the story
of a boy named Milo who was described as, "...a boy... who didn't know what to do with himself–
not just sometimes, but always" (1961, p. 9). Milo was very indecisive and overall, he leads a pretty
boring and uneventful life. However, all of that changed when he came home from school one day
and noticed a mysterious tollbooth in his bedroom. The tollbooth made him start to realize the value
of education and the importance of enjoying what was going on in his day to day life. The literary
devices Juster chose to use in his writing increased the quality of his work and they also helped
allow him to engage his readers in what they were reading more. Juster uses a wide variety of
different types of literary devices throughout the entire story but three of the most common are
irony, puns, and allegory. One of the most ironic moments in the book is when Milo, Tock, and
Humbug enter the Valley of Sound on their way to Digitopolis. From the time they entered the
valley it is obvious that something was missing. Juster wrote, "at first it was difficult to tell just what

An Old Whig V's Argument Analysis
After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the founders believed it was necessary to hold a
National Convention to revise it in order for it to become the Constitution. After the signing of the
Constitution, two groups were created. The Anti–federalists who composed a series of essays one
known as An Old Whig V (1787) suggests that an inclusion of a Bill of Rights would be more
effective in clarifying the limits of the government, while others, the Federalists, opposed to it. To
understand the effects of ratifying a Bill of Rights in the Constitution, both sides must be analyzed.
This paper examines An Old Whig V's arguments against the Federalist, mainly letters from

officers just so they could side with them there is not a statement refusing the government otherwise
(An Old Whig V, 1787). Without the inclusion of a Bill of Rights to clarify the boundaries of which
government must not cross then oppression would be the road we are calling unto our future (An
Old Whig, 1787).It is essential for future generations to express their "liberty of conscience,
freedom of speech and writing and publishing their thoughts on public matters, a trial by jury,

Hendrix's performance at Woodstock wasn't the same as his different forms of the song of praise,

Wonderland Identity
How do travelers construct their own identity as they travel? '"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar.'
(Carroll 1998: 40). Identity is explored extensively throughout Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland (1865) and Amos Tutuola's The Palm–Wine Drinkard (1952). Both protagonists embark
on a journey that questions their inner self; through the distortion of characters, time and plot.
Transformations allow each protagonist to distort their own identity and gain self–awareness as they
travel. Both texts explore the protagonist's escape from reality through the episodic structure. Each
episode is constructed as they travel, to become part of their identity, and the representation of
escape as a criticism of the social context. Both authors carefully structure the narrative for both
protagonists to create an identity that is intertwined into their travels. Escape is a major theme that
controls both protagonists as they travel. Carroll and Tutuola highlight the irrational nature of the
world they create, as both the African Bush and Wonderland are very different from the daily lives
of the protagonists. Both texts enter a mysterious realm that is like a dream–state or limbo, arguably
a journey into their sub–conscious, where through escaping different episodes they eventually come
to find themselves. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, it is quite clear to the reader that Alice is in

The Rational Decision Making Process
A rational decision implies that a qualitative and considered thought process was undertaken in
order to reach an optimal outcome. Although there are defined rules that add structure to the rational
decision making process (Tripathi & PNP 2007; Williams, & McWilliams 2013), according to
contingency theory and with respect to the rationality paradigm, there are limits to which an optimal
outcome is realised (Morgan 1986, p. 167; Schoonhoven 1981, p. 352). External factors such as
government, customers, competitors and suppliers all impose their constraints that influence the
final decision. Contingency theory suggests that the final decision is ultimately determined by the
organisation's overall objectives coupled with real world limitations, and consequently all rational
decisions take the form of bounded rationality and therefore should be considered suboptimal (Todd
& Gigerenzer 2003, p. 144; March & Simon 1958, p. 269). However, there is another view that
considers rational decisions made independently and unbounded will become optimal, or more
accurately stated, maximising the expected utility (Von Neumann & Morgenstern 1944). Nash
(1950) postulated the Nash Equilibrium (NE) and has since been implicated in many aspects of
human endeavour, and one of which is rational decision making. A facet of NE shows that a rational
decision becomes optimal when a considered decision is made within the context of the

the oldest living brother.
Franny answers the phone and starts talking to who she thinks is Buddy, but is really Zooey. Zooey

Contributions Of William Golding
William Golding was a famous British author, poet, and playwright. Golding contributed to British
Literature by writing several works for which he was acknowledged. His most famous work is a
novel called Lord of the Flies which was published in 1954. Lord of the Flies is still being read
today around the world. In addition, two movie versions based on the novel were released. The first
version was released in the United States in 1963 and the second version was released in 1990. The
Lord of the Flies remains a relevant piece of literature today as it shows what happens in nature
when there is no central governing body. His pessimism about the nature of humanity was obviously
reflected in his writing. William Golding's childhood, school life, and war experience heavily
influenced his work as a playwright, poet, and an author of Lord of the Flies.
On September 19, 1911 William Golding was born at his maternal grandmother's house in Newquay,
Cornwall (England). This was approximately six years after his older brother Joseph was born.
Golding also had an adopted sister named Eileen. She was his blood cousin and was adopted in the

Miller and Modigliani (1961) proposed the dividend irrelevance theory, suggesting that the wealth
of the shareholders is not affected by the dividend policy. It is argued that the value of the firm is
subjected to the firm's earnings, which comes from company's investment policy. The literature
proposed that, the dividend does not affect the shareholders' value in the world without taxes and
market imperfections or perfect capital market. Further they argued that dividend and capital gain
are two main ways that can contribute profits of the firm to the shareholders. When a firm chooses
to distribute its profits as dividends to its shareholders, then the share price will be reduced
automatically by the amount of a dividend per share on the ex–dividend date. So, they proposed that
in a perfect market, dividend policy does not affect the shareholder's return. The main assumptions

This arises when management acts in their own interest rather than on behalf of the shareholders
who own the firm. This is contrary to the assumptions of Miller and Modigliani (1961), who

the management. Managers may conduct some activities, which could be costly to shareholders,
such as undertaking unprofitable investments that would yield excessive returns to them and
unnecessary high management compensation (Al–Malkawi, 2007). These costs are borne by
shareholders; therefore, shareholders of firms with excess free cash flow would require high

The residency effects of House Crickets most likely follows the trend of other species; animals tend to be territorial and the space that they reside in is their space. They will defend it if another animal invades and poses a threat. This was already assumed prior to the House Cricket experiment. The House Cricket was the organism in this experiment, which is native to Europe, but more recently found in the eastern United States by Alexander (1961) as well as southern California according to Weissman and Rentz (1977).

This was made in a round plastic container that was 5 centimeters tall and had a radius of 5.5 centimeters. Inside the container was a damp paper towel used as substrate for the crickets. In addition there was a piece of food in there. Holes were poked in the container to allow air flow. On the day of the experiment, two crickets were obtained in their containers. One of the crickets was marked with a paint pen to identify them as the intruder. This intruder was placed in the resident cricket container. Timing began when it was placed inside. The timer ran for ten minutes and during that time the number of wins was recorded for each cricket. A loss was deemed as the first cricket to turn away in a confrontation. A win was marked to the cricket that maintained its position. If there was no obvious outcome, it was a tie. The overall winner was the cricket with the most wins marked in that ten minute period. If there was a tie, the process was repeated for an additional minute to determine a winner. At the end of the ten minute trial, the intruder was returned to its original container. This entire ten minute process was repeated on two more cricket pairs, for a total a six crickets ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Based on ancient urban planning literature, this paper summarizes the development of ancient cities before the Industrial Revolution, explores the consequences and challenges of the absence of formal urban planning. The first part of the paper focuses on the development of large urban settlement before the formal planning. The second part of the paper discusses the challenges and consequences of the absence of formal planning within ancient cities. Introduction Like consciousness, planning is an indefinable concept with many different associations and approaches. Before the discussion of ancient cities and formal planning, it is necessary to clarify several turning points and stages. First, the appearance of formal planning was discussed by many scholars and researchers. Kruekeberg classified the city history from 1840 to 1910 as the origins of urban planning (Krueckeberg, 1983). Fainstein and DeFilippis used the first National Conference on City Planning hold on 1909 as the defining event of modern formal planning (Campbell & Fainstein, 1996).

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas Analysis of Dystopian Literature It's getting harder for the average young adult to put down a good book...very surprising when it seems like youths don't read anymore. However, the increase of sales in youth fiction is appearing to prove otherwise. One genre in particular has captured the attention of young audiences across the globe: Dystopian fiction. A topic not new to literature, yet more prevalent among books lining the shelves of your local Barnes & Noble. In fact, popular dystopian novels today are glimpses of illustrious short stories and literature of the past; each used to reflect the realities of mainstream society. For as long as the human race has thought about its future, thoughts of how humanity would evolve has always seemed to paint a dark picture. Originations of this is contributed by the heavy apocalyptic teachings of the future through religion.

  • 9. Compare And Contrast Atticus And To Kill A Mockingbird A tale of childhood and an Alabama town's troubles with racism is spun from the novel of To Kill a Mockingbird. Most critics, however, claim that the two missions the main characters undertake are not connected well. On the contrary, Harper Lee successfully intertwines the two storylines of To Kill a Mockingbird to create a more profound statement on the interaction of people with clashing ideologies. The two stories enrich each other by showing the parallels of the kids' and Atticus's goal to change unshakable behaviors, comparing and contrasting the two parties' methods, and by tying together the two adventures in a way that address both possible outcomes. Many believe the tales are too different to put together, but both worlds' objective are more similar than they seem. The two storylines may appear to have two different end goals, but Atticus and the kids really have the same mission; they want to change people's habits. The kids looks to get Boo Radley out of his house out of sheer curiosity. Atticus also wants to change the town's opinion on African Americans. He demonstrates this after a court battle while he was defending his black client. He proclaims to the audience, "I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision, and restore this defendant to his family. In the name of God, do your duty...In the name of God, believe him."(Lee 275). Atticus desperately tries to convince the jury and the people to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis Diagnosis and management of Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EGE) requires a background knowledge of hallmark characteristics, the use of medical procedures for differential diagnosis and a multidimensional approach to treatment (Ingle & Hinge, 2013). Diagnosis begins with identifying gastrointestinal symptoms of EGE, eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract, exclusion of parasitic disease and the lack of other systemic involvement (Ingle & Hinge, 2013). Treatment options for EGE include dietary restrictions and steroid use or a combination of both depending on the determined reason for onset. Overall, the lack of information on EGE is telling of the rarity of the disease, with only 280 cases being described in the literature before 2013 (Mori, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In 1961, Ureles, Alschibaja, Lodico, & Stabins (1961) classified EGE's depending on presentation for the first time, class I a diffuse EGE and class II a EGE with well–defined edges. In 1970, Klein, Hargrove, Sleisenger, & Jeffries (1970) classified EGE by the anatomical location of the eosinophilic infiltration within the three layers of the intestinal tract: the mucosal, muscularis and subserosal layers. In 1990, Talley, Shorter, Phillips, & Zinsmeister (1990) proposed three diagnostic criteria: presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, biopsies showing eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract in one or more areas, and characteristic radiological findings of eosinophilia with no evidence of parasites or intestinal disease. In 1993, a longitudinal study on eight adult patients was published which provided information on the relapsing nature of EGE as 50% of the individuals in the study needed continuous low does steroid therapy to stay in remission (Lee, Changchien, Chen, Lin, Sheen, Wang, . . .

While civil defense was effective in 1964, six years passed before protests over the ABM emerged. Civil defense had more than enough time to erode during this time, but it did not. Government– produced civil defense literature produced between 1964 and 1970 shows the government still had an interest in promoting the psychological purpose of civil defense. Material produced by local civil defense groups, as well as further newspaper coverage, demonstrated this was successful. The first sources to examine are the Government plans regarding civil defense in the six–year period between the installation of the Minuteman Missiles and the installation of the ABM. The government plans were a result of President Kennedy's increased funding and focus on civil defense. The major program was the Home Shelter Survey. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 15. Causes Of The Fabian Movement The economic climate of the latter half of the 19th century was one of upheaval. London was quite influenced by several socialist thinkers during this time including Karl Marx. Marx passed away in 1883, leaving behind many radical socialists who influenced the burgeoning Fabian Movement. H.M. Hyndman and Henry George were two important figures who wrote pivotal pieces of literature. Henry George published Progress and Poverty in 1879 and greatly influenced many of the socialists who came into the Fabian Society (Fremantle, 1961, p.20). Two years later, H.M. Hyndman wrote England for All and later that year went on to found the Democratic Federation (later called the Social Democratic Federation) (Fremantle, 1961, p. 22). Both George and Hyndman were fans of Marx and believed in his violent revolutionary ideology yet, what helped form the Fabians was their dislike of this particular tenet. Laissez–faire Liberalism and its twin Capitalism were major sources of disproval for the individuals who would go on to create the Fabian Society in 1884. Laissez–faire liberalism was seen to be the source of much unrest and unhappiness among the impoverished in the world. They saw the system of Capitalism to be an oppressive, tyrannical system. W.L. Phillips, the Society's only working class member said the following, "The workers must and will shake off their blind faith in the Commercial god Competition, and realize the responsibility of their unused powers" (Pugh, 1984, p. 5). ...

  • 17. Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee Anne Frank once stated, "Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." This guidance can go hand in hand with the theme growing up, when older characters give advice to children or siblings.Growing up is used frequently in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Harper Lee uses the theme growing up in To Kill a Mockingbird to change characters opinion, develop characters through their world, and utilizes prejudice to reveal growing up. One major cause growing up is used in To Kill a Mockingbird is to represent a change of opinion. One part growing up was shown in is through the trial in part two of the novel. During the trial Jem was so sure that his father Atticus was going to win the trial. Jem was so excited and so certain he was going to win for Tom. When they didn't win J me was knocked down a few pages . Jem was jumping in excitement. "We 've won, haven 't we?" "I 've no idea," pronounced Atticus shortly. Actually, Atticus does have a pretty vigorous idea. He is confident he will lose, despite his best efforts. He knows that the jury would never acquit a black man accused of raping a white woman, even if there was no way he could have committed the crime. The racism was just too deep. Guilty as accused was the justice system for blacks in Maycomb. (Page 212) Growing up is shown when Jem was younger and thought that everything was always going to work out in ...

  • 19. Analysis Of To Kill A Mockingbird : Accepting People In... To Kill a Mockingbird:Accepting people in the minority "It is noble to love another without caring to know who gave them breath." says Cornelius Elmore Addison, in his book, Tom Thorneval: Dream Merchant Extraordinaire. People who are kind to others without judging their families, are noble. This relates to the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee because many characters are judging others or are being criticized because of their wealth and how kind they are. The book takes place in Maycomb, Alabama, in the 1930's. The main characters are Jem and Scout. Atticus, Jem and Scout's father, is a lawyer. Arthur Radley (also known as Boo Radley) has never been seen out of his house in fifteen years. Scout's Aunt, Alexandra, is wealthy and self–centered. The Ewells are not wealthy and they are rude to people. The book To Kill a Mockingbird shows that in general, people are not very accepting of others who are different than the majority. Alexandra judges others, while the Radleys, Burrus Ewell and the Cunninghams are being criticized. The Radleys are being criticized because of the rumors spread about them, and people are scared of him. When Scout is describing the Radley house, she explained, "the Radley chickenyard tall pecan trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard, but the nuts lay untouched by the children: Radley pecans will kill you" (Lee 11). The school children were afraid of what the Radley pecans would do to them because of all the rumors going around. In ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 23. The Rural Economy Of Fiji Sugarcane industry, today dominates the rural economy of Fiji and employs a large number of rural population. The first sugar, introduced by the European colonists, was produced in Fiji in 1862 around the flatland areas near Suva (now the capital city of the country) due to the availability of fertile alluvial soils (FSC 2014). However, after the first few years the center of production shifted to the rural western and northern parts of Fiji's two biggest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu (also known as the 'cane belt area'), due to the fact that sugarcane needs dryer areas for better quality of sugar to be produced (Ward 1965; Mayer 1961). Whilst the majority of the growers are Fiji Indians, the land belongs to the indigenous Fijians ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Sugar contributed 8 percent of the Gross Domestic Production (Fiji Island Bureau of Statistics 2015). In short, sugar industry is still vital for Fiji's economy and the significance of the industry is still substantial to Fiji's rural economy (Paresh and Biman 2003). For the purpose of this essay, the rural livelihoods of Fiji Indian sugarcane farmers will be discussed in relation to the sustainable livelihood framework. Chambers and Conway (1992, p. 6) defines 'sustainable livelihood' as: A livelihood comprises the capabilities, assets (including both material and social resources) and activities required for a means of living. A livelihood is sustainable when it can cope with and recover from stresses and shocks, maintain or enhance its capabilities and assets, while not undermining the natural resource base. On the other hand, Scoones (2015, p. 11) argues 'rural livelihood' is more than agriculture and farming, it includes off–farm activities such as rural employment and migration as means of links to the urban areas. This essay, thus, will first explore the livelihood assets of rural farmers, that is, the human, physical, natural, financial and social capitals. Secondly, it will discuss the vulnerability contexts affecting the farmers, such as, the shocks, trends and seasonality.

The President also wanted to send out a warning to all other nations by letting them know that with him as commander–in–chief, America would "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and success of liberty"(Kennedy 609). Basically he was stating that he would not think twice about using all possible forces in order to preserve peace and prosperity for the United States.

A review of the literature on social judgment theory (SJT) improves understanding of one's own judgment process and of one's work, marital and interpersonal relationship. The social judgment theory of attitude change was first presented by the U.S.–based Turkish psychologist Muzafer Sherif (1906–88) and the U.S. psychologist Carl I(vor) Hovland (1912–61) in Social Judgment (1961). SJT attempted to explain how attitude change is influenced by judgmental processes. The focus of SJT was about attitude change on a specific issue that results from judgments on related issues. This study provides insight literature ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However, Carl Hovland died before completing the book Social Judgment in 1961, thus Sherif carried on their study and published the book after Hovland's death (Sherif & Hovland, 1961). Carolyn W. Sherif, Muzafer Sherif's wife, is one of primary theorist of social judgment theory (Sherif et al., 1965). Carolyn W. Sherif and Muzafer integrated the social judgment–involvement approach into the study of individual attitude and behavior within the patterned interaction of such groups in Attitude and Attitude Change: The Social Judgment–Involvement Approach (1965), the book in which the social judgment–involvement theory is detailed. Fundamental Theoretical Ideas The focus of SJT is that an attitude change on a specific issue will result from judgments on related issues. Because we cannot observe a person's attitude using traditional research methods, therefore the social judgment theory was developed (Sherif & Sherif, 1968). Based on Muzafer Sherif and Carl Hovland's research (1961), they establish the ordered alternative questionnaire to measure the judgments. The questionnaire requires that the participant rate a list of statements as being acceptable, objectionable, or non–commitment (neither acceptable nor objectionable). An individual's latitudes of acceptance, rejection, and non–commitment represent an individual's feelings about the topics. According to Sherif et al. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This mode has a very well–known representative, the novel "And then there were none", originally named "Ten little Indians", Christie creates ten different main characters of different social status, who are lured into coming to an island under different pretexts, e.g. offers of employment or to enjoy a late summer holiday, or to meet old friends. All have been complicit in the death(s) of other human beings but either escaped justice or committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction. Besides, their ways of death are strictly followed by verses of the old folk 'Ten little Indians'. Finally, all characters died on that isolated island. This novel is the founder of the 'island mode', which means a group of people who have no or little relationship between each other gathered in a specific place, but because of some weather changes they are isolated from the outside world. During this period, murders take place in this place, while at the same time the murderer hides himself/herself inside the innocent. Therefore, this kind of detective stories usually gives people a sense of nerves by creating an atmosphere of horror. The second mode is that the murderer sometimes has an accomplice to help the murderer commit a crime or get rid of his/her guilt. The best representative of this kind of novels, among all Agatha Christie's works, should be the ''Murder on the orient express".

People across America, especially young people, protested the Vietnam War.

The short story A&M features strong themes of rebellion in most aspects of the story, from Sammy quitting to the girls leaving without thanking him. But the most prominent examples of rebellion in this story by the "bikini girls" are the girls wearing the bikinis in the first place and the girls insisting they are decent when Mr. Lengel confronts them.

Typology Of Leadership Essay Contemporary research focusses primarily on the influential concepts of transformational and transactional leadership (Bass, 1999)[40], two leadership styles that have received much attention over the past decades. Leadership theory is plagued by a lack of integration both within and across the trait and behaviour paradigms (Derue, Nehrgang, Wellman & Humphrey, 2011)[41]. There are simply too many leadership theories and too little integration, comparison or contrast. Over the years, some developed taxonomies appear to have common tendencies and/or correlate strongly, yet as said there is a lack of integration of these styles in the literature.

Intuitively, countries that adopt ELI need markets to which they can export. Import substitution industrialization, which focuses on domestic industrial production, has less of an emphasis on creating goods for the international market. In contrast, countries that follow an export–led industrialization strategy, by the very nature of ELI, must find markets to which they can export their goods. In the absence of sufficient demand, ELI strategies fail. Put positively, ELI strategies require sufficient demand for the goods of the country in question. Where, then, does demand come from? This is a particularly vexing problem. It seems a reasonable intuition that developing countries would not, prima facie, produce goods of sufficient quality that external, developed markets would demand. Moreover, only developed markets would be worthwhile targets for exports; exports to developing markets would not provide sufficient capital flows to fuel transformation into a developed country. In other words, embarking upon an ELI strategy is a fundamental catch–22. A solution to this problem of demand is the presence of not only a willing market for the developing country's goods, but also a market that is willing to make investments of capital and technology into that developing country.

Some of his later published novels were Burning Bright, 1950, East of Eden, 1952, and The Winter of Our Discontent, 1961. He later earned the Noble Prize for Literature in 1962 for "his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humored keen social perception" (John Steinbeck – Biographical). There were many people who disagreed with him earning this, but with what he had written, it was simply logical for him to earn his Nobel Prize. He had multiple inspirations for his novels in his years. He had travelled to Mexico to gather marine life with his marine biologist friend, Edward F. Ricketts. From this inspiration he wrote Sea of Cortez in 1941. He would also listen to the stories of homeless people and their lives, and from this he created Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday.

He was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. Hemingway wrote a variety of novels. My favorites are For Whom the Bell Tolls, written in 1940, A Farewell to Arms, written in 1929, and The Sun Also Rises, written in 1926. Most of Hemingway's works are often criticized and considered sexist, but I believe that they give us a glimpse from a man's perspective of what life was like during his lifetime. I have chosen to write about Ernest Hemingway because of how fascinating his books and life were. He lived and wrote all over the world: Africa, Italy, France. And, he also had a ...

  • 60. Literary Devices In Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth Norton Juster's book, The Phantom Tollbooth successfully used different types of literary devices to introduce the main theme of the novel which was the importance of education. Juster told the story of a boy named Milo who was described as, "...a boy... who didn't know what to do with himself– not just sometimes, but always" (1961, p. 9). Milo was very indecisive and overall, he leads a pretty boring and uneventful life. However, all of that changed when he came home from school one day and noticed a mysterious tollbooth in his bedroom. The tollbooth made him start to realize the value of education and the importance of enjoying what was going on in his day to day life. The literary devices Juster chose to use in his writing increased the quality of his work and they also helped allow him to engage his readers in what they were reading more. Juster uses a wide variety of different types of literary devices throughout the entire story but three of the most common are irony, puns, and allegory. One of the most ironic moments in the book is when Milo, Tock, and Humbug enter the Valley of Sound on their way to Digitopolis. From the time they entered the valley it is obvious that something was missing. Juster wrote, "at first it was difficult to tell just what had changed– it all looked the same and it all smelled the same– but for some reason, nothing sounded the same" (1961, p. 144). By making the Valley of Sound of all places completely silent in the book, readers become more ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

An Old Whig V's Argument Analysis After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, the founders believed it was necessary to hold a National Convention to revise it in order for it to become the Constitution. After the signing of the Constitution, two groups were created. The Anti–federalists who composed a series of essays one known as An Old Whig V (1787) suggests that an inclusion of a Bill of Rights would be more effective in clarifying the limits of the government, while others, the Federalists, opposed to it. To understand the effects of ratifying a Bill of Rights in the Constitution, both sides must be analyzed. This paper examines An Old Whig V's arguments against the Federalist, mainly letters from Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, to propose that the inclusion of a Bill of Rights allows citizens to verbalize their right of protection in regards to the occasion of being shown in the Constitution. Literature Review ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The history of mankind reflects that without the clear rights of people being written down to reference back to, destruction would incur (An Old Whig V, 1787). An Old Whig V additionally added, for example, if the nation were to come across future leaders who allow the replacement of officers just so they could side with them there is not a statement refusing the government otherwise (An Old Whig V, 1787). Without the inclusion of a Bill of Rights to clarify the boundaries of which government must not cross then oppression would be the road we are calling unto our future (An Old Whig, 1787).It is essential for future generations to express their "liberty of conscience, freedom of speech and writing and publishing their thoughts on public matters, a trial by jury, holding themselves, their houses and papers free from seizures and search upon general suspicion or general warrants" through the security of ratifying the Bill of Rights (An Old Whig V, ...

Carefully maintained bends of force harmonies that reproduced hints of bombs dropping, mounted guns discharging, and maybe the indicated shouts of passing on people amidst an ethereal assault, Hendrix recounts a direct story about the overwhelming occasions happening abroad in Vietnam through his interpretation of the U.S. national anthem. Hendrix's performance at Woodstock wasn't the same as his different forms of the song of praise, and it can be found in the mind boggling relationship between the fleeting and topographical setting of Woodstock and the dynamic gravitas created by the mental synchronization between artists and group of the audience amid the live performance. My opinion about this video is that it has a unique type of combination of instruments with harmony among all of them. Hendrix was playing and singing with emotions all the time and I saw this while he was playing his electric guitar closing his eyes.

  • 66. Wonderland Identity How do travelers construct their own identity as they travel? '"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar.' (Carroll 1998: 40). Identity is explored extensively throughout Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Amos Tutuola's The Palm–Wine Drinkard (1952). Both protagonists embark on a journey that questions their inner self; through the distortion of characters, time and plot. Transformations allow each protagonist to distort their own identity and gain self–awareness as they travel. Both texts explore the protagonist's escape from reality through the episodic structure. Each episode is constructed as they travel, to become part of their identity, and the representation of escape as a criticism of the social context. Both authors carefully structure the narrative for both protagonists to create an identity that is intertwined into their travels. Escape is a major theme that controls both protagonists as they travel. Carroll and Tutuola highlight the irrational nature of the world they create, as both the African Bush and Wonderland are very different from the daily lives of the protagonists. Both texts enter a mysterious realm that is like a dream–state or limbo, arguably a journey into their sub–conscious, where through escaping different episodes they eventually come to find themselves. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, it is quite clear to the reader that Alice is in a dream. From the subtle implications of the narrator in the opening lines, that Alice ...

  • 68. The Rational Decision Making Process A rational decision implies that a qualitative and considered thought process was undertaken in order to reach an optimal outcome. Although there are defined rules that add structure to the rational decision making process (Tripathi & PNP 2007; Williams, & McWilliams 2013), according to contingency theory and with respect to the rationality paradigm, there are limits to which an optimal outcome is realised (Morgan 1986, p. 167; Schoonhoven 1981, p. 352). External factors such as government, customers, competitors and suppliers all impose their constraints that influence the final decision. Contingency theory suggests that the final decision is ultimately determined by the organisation's overall objectives coupled with real world limitations, and consequently all rational decisions take the form of bounded rationality and therefore should be considered suboptimal (Todd & Gigerenzer 2003, p. 144; March & Simon 1958, p. 269). However, there is another view that considers rational decisions made independently and unbounded will become optimal, or more accurately stated, maximising the expected utility (Von Neumann & Morgenstern 1944). Nash (1950) postulated the Nash Equilibrium (NE) and has since been implicated in many aspects of human endeavour, and one of which is rational decision making. A facet of NE shows that a rational decision becomes optimal when a considered decision is made within the context of the organisation's objectives and is independent of others. Because ...

She comes home to her mom Bessie and her brother Zooey. Bessie wants Zooey to talk to Franny about what is wrong. He doesn't really want to at first, but he comes around to it. She tries to ignore him to get him to go away, but he won't. He talks to her about why he thinks she should stop saying their Jesus prayer, something that has helped Franny through a lot. He makes her cry. And walks away to a secret phone that only calls other phones in that house, and pretends to be Buddy, the oldest living brother. Franny answers the phone and starts talking to who she thinks is Buddy, but is really Zooey. Zooey is acting as Buddy because Franny said she wanted to talk to Seymour, the oldest Glass brother that committed suicide. He thinks that Buddy is the next best thing, but Franny just wants Seymour. When she answers he says "Hello, sweetheart. How are you––are you alright?" (187) i think that is something Buddy would say, because he really cares about Franny, so Zooey is trying to act like him as much as he can. When he makes her cry, he tries to keep talking to her but she ignores him. Zooey says " I'm sorry Franny. I'm very sorry." (172). But when he says that, it only makes her cry even harder.

  • 72. Contributions Of William Golding William Golding was a famous British author, poet, and playwright. Golding contributed to British Literature by writing several works for which he was acknowledged. His most famous work is a novel called Lord of the Flies which was published in 1954. Lord of the Flies is still being read today around the world. In addition, two movie versions based on the novel were released. The first version was released in the United States in 1963 and the second version was released in 1990. The Lord of the Flies remains a relevant piece of literature today as it shows what happens in nature when there is no central governing body. His pessimism about the nature of humanity was obviously reflected in his writing. William Golding's childhood, school life, and war experience heavily influenced his work as a playwright, poet, and an author of Lord of the Flies. On September 19, 1911 William Golding was born at his maternal grandmother's house in Newquay, Cornwall (England). This was approximately six years after his older brother Joseph was born. Golding also had an adopted sister named Eileen. She was his blood cousin and was adopted in the 1930s. His parents were Alec and Mildred A. Golding (neé Curnoe). The whole family lived in Marlborough, Wiltshire. Alec was a master of science at Marlborough Grammar School. Alec was also a rationalist, religious skeptic, and an activist for the British Labour Party. Alec and Mildred participated in political demonstrations in support of women's ...

Also, it is not obvious how to extract 'best evidence' for use by management practitioners. Their systematic review is based on a detailed quantitative meta–analysis of accessible data from two databases namely EBSCO and ABI Inform. They tested 84 articles for making a systematic review, which finally concluded that only 5% of the articles primarily relied on qualitative research methodologies. The authors summarize the evidence of contextual factors and the influence on standardization, and propose a four–step process to develop management practitioners' own solution concepts.

  • 76. Miller And Modigliani's Dividend Irrelevance Theory? 2.4.1. Dividend irrelevance theory Miller and Modigliani (1961) proposed the dividend irrelevance theory, suggesting that the wealth of the shareholders is not affected by the dividend policy. It is argued that the value of the firm is subjected to the firm's earnings, which comes from company's investment policy. The literature proposed that, the dividend does not affect the shareholders' value in the world without taxes and market imperfections or perfect capital market. Further they argued that dividend and capital gain are two main ways that can contribute profits of the firm to the shareholders. When a firm chooses to distribute its profits as dividends to its shareholders, then the share price will be reduced automatically by the amount of a dividend per share on the ex–dividend date. So, they proposed that in a perfect market, dividend policy does not affect the shareholder's return. The main assumptions ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This arises when management acts in their own interest rather than on behalf of the shareholders who own the firm. This is contrary to the assumptions of Miller and Modigliani (1961), who assumed that managers are perfect agents for shareholders and no conflict of interest exists between them. But, that assumption is somewhat questionable, as the owners of the firm are different from the management. Managers may conduct some activities, which could be costly to shareholders, such as undertaking unprofitable investments that would yield excessive returns to them and unnecessary high management compensation (Al–Malkawi, 2007). These costs are borne by shareholders; therefore, shareholders of firms with excess free cash flow would require high dividend payments, because managers can misuse the excess free cash flow. Subsequently, high dividend paying firms perceive as fairly governed entities and investors willing to pay a premium for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
