Less than one-half of the respondents in the 57- to 90-year-old category thought that a homosexual should be allowed to teach in college or university. This is contrasted with less than 30% of either of the other two groups (with less than one-quarter of the youngest group feeling that homosexuals should be banned from teaching college).

When responding to whether a homosexual should have his book removed from a community's public library, significantly more people from the 57- to 90-year-old group felt the book should be removed than did other groups (Table 4). Over one-half of the oldest group thought the book should be removed, but less…...
Acceptance Letter to Physician Assistance School
I can still remember his face that day: ashen, writhing in pain, tremulous. It was a good face -- one that had reflected love and caring to almost everyone who had known him, one that had contended daily with a debilitating condition that he fought to hide in his zest for life. It was the face of my father, the man who had raised me. And now, after dealing with cardiac disease for most of his adult life, my father was gone, one of the many claimed by this treatable condition which left me, like so many other caring family members, with nothing but memories…and an ardent determination that will not be denied.
Ever since the recent passing of my father, I have been almost singled-mindedly devoted to becoming a physician's assistant so that I can do all I can to ensure that others do not…...

IMAGINING A PESENT DAY NOBLE PEACE PIZE SPEECH BY D. MATIN LUTHE KING
The objective of this study is to imagine that if Dr. Martin Luther King were to win the noble peace prize today what he would say in his acceptance speech. This study will consider his ideals and principles when creating the speech as well as consider his noble peace prize acceptance speech decades ago.
The Speech
Your Majesty, Your oyal Highness, Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I accept the Noble Prize for Peace at a time when the first Black man is in the office of presidency of the United States and when the United States of America faces threats such as ISIS focused on destruction of our citizens, our Homeland, and our Democracy. The dangers we face in today's society is one that is not racially-based but instead one that targets our civil liberties and constitutional…...

Business Legal Case
The author of this response is offered a business legal case and is asked to give an opinion on whether one firm has a case against another. The author of this report will offer a response and will back it up using arguments going either way. In short, the answer up front is that ABC Corporation probably does not have a case but Mr. Jones acted quite carelessly and can get himself into quite a legal pickle in the future if he is not careful because he is leaving his fate to judicial review when he makes decisions like the one he made here (USLegal, 2013).
Points against Mr. Jones
Jones has two things working against him in this case. First, he was foolish enough to not have an expiration time and date for the counter-offer he made. ABC had one and there is a reason. If no expiration…...

acceptance, there must be consideration, the terms of the contract must be legal and there must be an intent to create legal relations (iley, 2012). There must also be mutual consent and understanding of the meaning of the terms. For a contract to be enforceable, there must be performance or delivery, and good faith (Larson, 2010).
In this situation with Mary Smith, there is consideration (the food), and the consideration is legal. While there are two counterparties, there is not necessarily mutual consent here. Gourmet Heaven intended to create legal relations with Mattie Smith, not Mary Smith. Mary Smith did not know where the package was from and in any case did not seem to intend to create legal relations with anybody. So while Gourmet Heaven acted in good faith and made delivery, that was with Mattie Smith, not Mary. There is no enforceable contract between Gourmet Heaven and Mary…...

Interface Design & Software Acceptance
Interface Design & Software Applications
Previous research efforts have focused on particular pre-existing software with little focus on behavioral antecedents. Theoretical perspectives highlight the need for marketers to understand the importance of the adoption and acceptance process of next generation software in the current market. Conclusions from research have indicated a gap for behavioral antecedents that have led to a void in marketer's ability to understand and predict consumer behavior.
Lack of user acceptance impedes the success of new software. User acceptance is a pivotal factor in whether software will be used. Usability involves effectiveness, efficiency, engagement, error tolerance, and ease of learning (Quesenbery, n.d.). Accessibility involves usefulness to measure whether the actual users can achieve the goals (Anon., 2000). Interface design affects whether users use particular software. The study is to determine how users make decisions to use software based on the interface design. How the user…...

Contract Law- Offer and Acceptance
Judgment for Zinni. According to §2-206 of the UCC, unless otherwise stated, an offer to make a contract is to be construed as inviting acceptance in any manner. Although Royal's form contained a clause that the order was not binding until accepted by the dealer or his authorized representative, the clause did not limit the method of acceptance. Both Zinni and Royal filled out a written order form, which demonstrated a meeting of the minds. Furthermore, the fact that it was Royal's order form was enough to make it an enforceable writing against Royal under the Statute of Frauds as embodied in the UCC.

Technology Acceptance Model
Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to Assess User Intentions and Satisfaction on Software as a Service (SaaS):
The Value of SaaS
Software as a Service (SaaS) was researched by Benlian and Hess (2011) in an effort to determine its value to companies. Among the arguments was that SaaS is already declining in popularity even though it is very new. The majority of the arguments that lean in that direction have been made by individuals who believe that SaaS is not offering the level of value that was originally expected of it (Benlian & Hess, 2011).
The main reason they feel that SaaS is lacking in value is because there were many problems with the deployment of it in the beginning (Benlian & Hess, 2011). At that point, there was a concern that the application would not work well because it was not ready when it was first made available. Many people…...

Contracts Scenario
On June 15, Peters orally offered to sell a used lawn mower to Mason for $125. Peters specified that Mason had until June 20 to accept the offer. On June 16, Peters received an offer to purchase the lawn mowe for $150 from Bronson, Mason's neighbor. Peters accepted Bronson's offer. On June 17, Mason saw Bronson using the lawn mower and was told the mower had been sold to Bronson. Mason immediately wrote to Peters to accept the June 15 offer. Has Peter's offer been revoked? Is Mason's acceptance ineffective?
According to the definition of a legally valid contract, when a person is asks someone to do something, such as to purchase a lawn mower, the first step has been made in securing a contract. This was performed when Peters offered to sell the mower for a particular price. However, the second step is the other party's acceptance of the…...

The other members of the value chain, particularly the service providers and device manufacturers, vie strongly against one another for differentiating content.

Generally speaking, the importance of the artist in human society has much to do with helping us to see beyond what we consider as reality and to understand how every human being is connected not only through human emotions but also through culture in the shape of iconography, being an image that relates a story, and the historical context of any given work. In some respects, art does provide much entertainment by allowing the viewer/reader to forget his/her problems for a short length of time, such as by attending a stage play or by going to see a movie on the big screen.
ut art can also be far more than mere entertainment, due to forcing the viewer/reader to ponder the mysteries of human existence and to use their in-born ability to think imaginatively and with abstraction. For example, by viewing a painting in a museum, a person can be…...
