- 15121: The Pc Industry
- ... is the current industry leader. CCC boasts a 1999 market share of 12.8%. However, this figure has declined slightly from its 1998 share of 13.4%. The dip is due to Dell Computer Corp. s heavy presence in the small PC market, (Industry Survey, Apr. 2000). Compaq has a wide range of PC products from smaller, less expensive machines to more costly, high-tech systems. CCC has been most successful ... home/family segment, because they are able to sell large quantities. However, Compaq has been unsuccessful in retaining customers because most of them were pleased with their smaller machines and did not upgrade to CCC s more expensive, high-tech systems,(Hamblen 1-2). Customer retention has been a problem for the forty billion-dollar company, (Hamblen 1-2). It is my assessment that Compaq does still remain the leader because ... the WIZ or BEST BUY and there are five or so Compaq machines all competitively priced with a good range of attributes, usually not the best that a veteran user would require. For instance CCC s newest product, the iPac, is a very simple-to-use, inexpensive machine. It is supposed to satisfy business workers needs for a useful computer at low cost,(Wildstrom 1-2).

- 15123: The Geographic Power Of Countr
- ... India, the United Kingdom, Brazil and finally Mexico, with the least geographic power. Of all the countries listed above, China has the most geographic power and indeed the most potential for future geographic power. China's total resources far surpass the number of resources that the other countries possess. China has eleven resources in total. This by itself may guarantee a country geographic power. However, human resources are often more important ... also a large amount of resources. These two things seem to be paying off for this geographically powerful country. India has the second most geographical power of the countries listed in the introduction. India doesn't fall too far behind China, as its total number of resources are nine. The majority of India's resources fall into the human resource category and this is beneficial as they can gain more money from these resources. Only two of India's total resources fall into the natural resource category, but ...
- 15124: The Ethical Delimma Of Journal
- ... to come forward, if anonymity would otherwise prejudice the defense. This media law has been protecting rape victims from journalism intrusion of privacy, as it showed before in 1975 half of the press reported complainant's name and address (Robertson &Nicol, 1990, pp.254-257). If there was no media law protection, some of journalists might enormously devastate victim's reputation. Nevertheless, breach of confidence would hardly happen to rape victim, as journalists now can not break media law. Therefore, this issue should be more focused on the defendants because there is no restriction for media on any identification. Legally, no one can publish name of rape defendant when case is still in the lower court. Journalists could only identify person when such time establishes evidence and s/he commits trial to higher court. However, there are some cases, which journalists must morally concern to the reputation of defendant and his/her relatives when revelation exists (Meyer, 1987, p. 87-91). For ...
- 15125: The Errancy Of Fundamentalism
- ... This view is exemplified by the following statement of Jimmy Swaggart, a Pentecostal pastor: "One of the most basic tenants of the Christian faith is that the Scriptures are inerrant. Because the Bible is God's Word, it is entirely error-free." (Swaggart, 1987, p. 8) [1] It will be argued that this view - which will be referred to as Fundamentalism - is the only possible logical view of the Bible for ... ourselves, Does this doctrine of inerrancy also apply to translations and later original-language manuscripts of the Bible? The above-mentioned Jimmy Swaggart has the following to say on this matter: "So while the Bible's original text is without error, mistakes may have crept into the translated versions." (Swaggart, 1987, p. 8) Let us think about this for a moment. The logic of the claim that the original text is ... true logic of Fundamentalism, as explained above, later manuscripts and translations must also be inerrant.) 2.3 Clarity Let us continue our logical journey of Bible scrutiny and ask ourselves, Would it be in God's interest and capacity to provide an unambiguous revelation? That is to say, assuming for the moment that the Bible is error-free, could it plausibly be the revelation of god if its message is ...
- 15126: The Disease Of Masturbation
- The Disease of Masturbation: Values and the concept of Disease by Engelhardt Englhardt s article The Disease Of Masturbation is an example of the ways in which values impact society s definition of disease. I agree that it is possible that science is being, or has been, limited by the values within society. For science to conclude that masturbation causes such aliments as blindness and epilepsy ... symptoms of a dangerous disease: Disease is neither an objective entity nor a concept of a single definition, there is not, nor need be, one concept of disease (UWO, p.241). The problem with Englehardt s article is our health system is that of the biomedical model. The biomedical model does not recognize masturbation as a disease. It states that disease is a biological deviation from the norm that can ...

- ... the top 100 is 25.32. The trend of the average age of the tennis players is still decreasing. It is not surprising that all of my fellow tennis partners are in their early 20's. Most of them are college students who manage to spend some time on the tennis court. Race seems to be a factor in determining the likelihood of a person becoming a 1 Data from WTA ... numbers of black participants remain unchanged in most countries. The lack of facility disadvantage is not the only reason for the lack of black participants. Controversially, the racial prejudice is another huge reason. Professional athlete's opinions about racism discourage many coloured people from playing the sport. Recent racism controversy between Venus William and Irina Spirlea has worsened the racial problems in tennis. During the semi-final match of the 1997 ... complicated. The racism accounts for the major reason on why the blacks in the United States, who have access to public tennis court, still are not that interest in tennis anyway. The lack of black's success in major tennis tournaments is certainly another factor for such attitude. In addition to that, black children grow up under the powerful influences of NBA.

- 15128: Stereotypes Are The Psychologi
- ... points with Social Identity Theory is that the very act of categorisation, regardless of group contact, is enough to produce in-group preference and differentiation from the out-group. According to the theory an individual s self esteem is related to his or her social category membership and therefore the individual seeks to make the social category appear in as positive a light as possible. This group differentiation can lead to the formation of stereotypes. Turner s self-categorisation theory states that individuals seek to form self-categorisations of themselves at many different levels ranging from the most abstract, as in the perception of the self as human, to the most defined ... experience.

- 15129: Slang In America
- ... comfortable, but this is not considered. If a language is not comfortable, why would you want to speak it? Language has always changed to fit the paradigms of society (Crystal 105). For example, in Shakespeare's time, many contractions used today were considered poor English. Rarely could a person of high social status be found using "don't" in a sentence. Today, however, people may use contractions without fear of being scorned by society. This simply illustrates The same types of people who opposed contractions in the past are opposing slang and new ... standard Internet. There are words used specifically for the Internet, usually acronyms that are universally understood, that will probably appear in dictionaries in the future. Conservatives have no reason to bother with whether a person's dialect or diction will be understood in spoken language, because most communication will be typed, not spoken, in a neutral Internet language. Conservatives claim that the lack of standard English is due to an ...
- 15130: Self-injurious Behaviour
- ... my Nursing Project happened on the last day of my learning difficulties placement. It involved a young Autistic man, who I will refer to as John throughout my assignment. This is to protect the client s identity, this is in accordance with the UKCC Code of professional conduct (1992) clause 10: Protect all confidential information concerning patients and clients obtained in the course of professional practice and make disclosures only with ... the self-injurious behaviour that John exhibited is an interesting and difficult Nursing problem and one, which affected my ability to care for him. Rather than focussing on the self-injury specifically related to John s case, I will examine the possible ways to manage self-injurious behaviour, especially in persons with learning disabilities. To manage this problem effectively, a multi-disciplinary approach is required, but for the purposes of this essay I will look at the problem from a Nurse s perspective. I will begin by giving a brief description of self-injurious behaviour and the possible causes. I will then highlight the different techniques available to Nurses for the management of this behaviour. Self- ...
