- 961: Theory Of The Firm-are Firms J
- ... would continue to produce additional output regardless of its effects on cost. Given this information one might ask why the owners don t intervene when their appointed managers don t direct their actions in the interest of the owners, by maximising profits. First of all, the owners will not have the same access to information as the managers do. Where Information relates to professional skills of Business administration as well as ... lower then in Q3. So given this conflict of interests between the owners and the managers of a firm? What are the possible solutions available to the owners, to make their agents work in their interest? It is often suggested that an effective way to control the managers behaviour and bring it in line with the owners interests, is to make the managers owners themselves by giving them a share in ...
- 962: Should We Legalize
- ... citizens were addicts. This implies two things: that when addiction was worst in the United States 99.6 percent of the people were not addicted to a drug, and that if a return to these rates of addictions if drug Prohibition were repealed, then about one million people would be addicted, a clear contradiction to the claim that 70-75% of drug users become addicted (Trebach and Inciardi 49). Prohibition does ... black crime has two unfortunate results: first, the black victims, of course, and second, the fear of blacks by many whites. A racist person would point to this large discrepancy between black and white homicide rates as some sort of an inferiority (Trebach and Inciardi 34). The sad reality is that Prohibition has created much of this discrepancy. The analogy between selling drugs and stealing diamonds shows why this difference might ...
- 963: Pocahontas
- ... time forward was known as Rebecca Rolfe. It is uncertain as to why Pocahontas was wed to John Rolfe. The Powhatan Nation of today profess that she agreed to marry Rolfe, who took a "special interest" in the young hostage, as a condition of her release. Other sources claim that the two fell madly in love and then married. Some disagree because Pocahontas was rumored to be married to an Indian named Kocoum and therefore, could not marry again. Also, she would only have been 17 at the time and would not have had any interest in the 28 year-old Rolfe. The union of Rolfe and Pocahontas did have some benefits, however. It brought peace between the natives and settlers that would last for eight years. A general peace and ...
- 964: Penelope As Moral Agent
- ... last sentence of her essay: Insofar as tragic choices of the kind identified and praised by Aristotle are symptomatic of a social world in which obligations to promote civic welfare have acquired a greater ideological interest and resonance, it is not surprising that the Odyssey's most nearly tragic choice is made by a character whose social role is defined so pointedly in terms of responsibilities. Also, on page 101, there ... and, in fact, severely influenced) by her sense of obligation to Odysseus and his parting words. When it comes to who should make the decision and whether or not his mother is acting in the interest of the household, Telemachos is not at all consistent in his opinion. In Book IV, his hope (encouraged by Pallas Athene) takes him on an extensive journey in order to find out the demise of ...
- 965: History Of The Aircraft Propeller
- ... category aircraft and the introduction of the "un-ducted fan". This design incorporates the reliability of the turbine engine, with the efficiency of a prop. Expected savings of 25% in fuel costs drive the ongoing interest in this application. The design utilizes 8-10 thin but very wide, closely spaced, swept angle blades to propel an aircraft at speeds approaching the speed of sound (mach.8). It will be interesting to see how the role of the propeller develops as time goes on. This report has sparked my interest in propellers. I have never researched this topic before and feel that I've benefited from writing it. I enjoyed researching the history of the propeller and it's contributions to aviation milestones. I've ...
- 966: Populist Party
- ... was the result of a movement that begun with the Granger movement, which was, in fact, a social movement. It organized various activities for women and children, established a mail-order program, and took an interest in education. The Grange united the farmers, who started to participate in politics through different independent third parties. As the Granger Movement fell apart, the Farmers' Alliance was established. This, unlike the Granger Movement, was ... inflation and Macune's "sub-treasury plan." The sub-treasury plan allows farmers to store their crops in government warehouses and receive government loans for up to 80% of their crops' value at one-percent interest. This does two things: gives them immediate credit and the opportunity to hold their crops until the market improves. Both the Grange and the Alliance endorsed social and educational programs, but the Alliance did two ...
- 967: The Media: Newspapers
- ... and is the same size throughout. To me this just makes it seem extremely long, dry and boring. The tabloid gives fewer minor details and more of the straight facts that will be of most interest to its aimed audience. The tabloid and the broadsheet both use graduated text (starting large and getting smaller) but there is more of it in the tabloids and it is graduated a lot more gradually ... and a few smaller stories in the bottom half of the page. Sometimes both types of the papers have additional sideline stories that are not always of national importance but may appeal or be of interest to specific readers or both papers. I also found the use of language in both papers (The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph) totally different. The broadsheet used more advanced and difficult words and the ...
- 968: Iago and Honesty in Othello
- ... truthful as its meaning. However, this meaning is used continually by Iago to almost lie straight to Othello. He first uses it to tell Othello that if it were not in his (Othellos) best interest, Iago would sacrifice his manhood, honesty, or wisdom. Shakespeare has created dramatic irony, for while Iago is telling Othello that he would make these sacrifices in Othellos best interest, we know that he is doing the exact opposite. We know that Iago is making Othello see things that are not actually there, that he is leading Othello to believe that Cassio and Desdemona are ...

- ... tight revealing tube tops and mini skirts. The main thing that Samsung is promoting is higher standards in beauty. A direct result of high beauty standards in American television is higher suicide, depression, and anorexia rates. A test in the early seventies conducted by anthropologist Margaret Mead on a tribe called the Samoans shows us how television is part of the coming of age. The Samoan tribe was a loving peaceful ... tribe where heavenly bliss filled the warm air as you walked close to naked with confidence through the pastures. Five years later, after being introduced to American television, Margaret Mead concluded that suicide, and anorexia rates had increased quite drastically amongst the Samoans. Not only did the Samoans strive to meet America standards of beauty, they also found that their loving half naked environment soon turned into an environment of depressed ...

- ... has become popular in recent years. Who has not heard the excuse, I did it because my (parents/state representative/dog) (harassed/bit/abused) me when I was a child. In my opinion, the growing interest in pop psychology and the related fields of social psychology and child psychology have greatly contributed to the decay of moral rectitude and the concept of taking responsibility for one s own actions. The translator ... be greatly like a sociopathic personality. They will most likely be incapable of relating to others, save as far as they are themselves effected. They will not display anything near the level of enlightened self-interest that enables society. For all intents and purposes, they will be a sociopath, and due to the initial lack of guidance, they will be at best highly resistant to change, and at worst, totally irredeemable ...
