Abstract

Workplace diversity is a broad and often contentious term to define fully. However, its abuses lead the United States Congress to pass Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1969, which created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and tasked it to implement the Act and the subsequent diversity laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Historically, the acceptance of the diversity concept particularly among companies took years to grow. And EEOC’s enforcement power came years after its establishment in 1969.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Concerns over the viability of the existing framework for determining technological spillovers vis-à-vis MNCs have grown, mainly because the predominant framework characterized by theories of production function did not provide consistent findings on the link between spillover occurrence and FDIs.

The study by Gachino is in tune with the current context describing the lack of consistency in findings on the spillover occurrence-FDI connection using the predominant framework on theories of production function.
The spillover literature takes into account variables related to variations in time, types of industries, and those related to space and location, and endogenous technological changes. Continue reading...

Is short term memory retention affected with interruptions?

Introduction
Our memory consists of the ability to encode information perceived through our senses, which is later stored in our brain and can be recalled whenever we may need it (Piccard, Berthoz, Baulac, Denos, Dupont, Samson and Guariglia, 2010). Information can be the smell of a fruit, the name of a person we just met or how soft that sweater was that you saw in a store. Memory is what we know, and if we forget something as simple as what we were doing one minute ago, then how can we go on about our day? Is it likely Continue reading...

Socialism emerged as the burgeoning working class’s response to the socio-economic dislocation and bifurcation they experienced amidst drastic changes that took place in western societies as industrialization and modernization were transpiring. Reframing the public dialogue about capitalism, Freidrich Engels and Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, a seminal and path-breaking treatise that continues to resonate in modern times, rendered the new, urban, working- class a politically potent yet cogent force that fortified and edified the terms for any and all discussions regarding the relationship between the working class (proletariats) and the middle class. However, F. Engels wrote that Marx was Continue reading...

The American Dream

Almost everybody wants to experience living in the land of milk and honey: America. Others called it the ‘land of the free’ because of the type of government they have and the way that the citizens enjoy their freedom in almost every aspect of their lives.

Every person who lives in America has their own meaning of ‘The American Dream,’ but for me ‘The American Dream’ means giving equal opportunity to people regardless of their race, color, and culture and letting them be proud Continue reading...

In ‘Letter to a Christian Nation’, Sam Harris seeks to show people why he does not believe in God and the Bible as the word of the Lord.

Arguably, one of the key ways through which Harris uses to put his point across is using some of the morally questionable laws of the Bible that govern the land. He also uses existing statistics of conservative communities compared to liberal communities in relation to their moral applicability. Sam Harris can convince the readers Continue reading...

Success is dependent upon the ability of a leader to motivate and direct others to the desired outcome. Leaders are vital in virtually every facet of life, Continue reading...
