Social issues are sometimes affected by the environmental and economic issues, but they often have a life of their own. The social environment is comprised of a number of factors, including demographics, trends, mores and norms, and social factors that affect the market such as health, education and social mobility (MindTools, 2014). Those factors will affect the economic power of consumers, but also other things like knowledge that will affect the bargaining power of buyers. So there is some overlap between social factors and economic. In recent years, the overlap between social factors and environmental ones has become stronger as well, as a push towards better environmental stewardship in the social dimension has resulted in more laws that create restrictions on some businesses and opportunities for others. The social environment is particularly important because it affects the likelihood of consumers or businesses wanting to buy a product. The economic environment…...

Social Issues and the Myth of Luck in "Rocking- Horse inner" by DH Lawrence
Rocking- Horse inner" is a short story by DH Lawrence that illustrates the importance of social status and the myth of luck in Paul's family, as well as in the society that their family live in. The short story deals with these two important themes, and each theme is dependent on each other, since it is evident, upon reading the text of the short story, that Paul's family heavily depended on luck to maintain the high social status their family enjoys even though they can barely support themselves financially. The story will focus on Paul's struggles as he strive to become a "lucky" individual, driven by the fact that he has to become lucky so that he will be able to generate enough money to give his mother, and to stop the "whispering" of the voices in…...

In the 1960s and 1970s contributors noted the poor status of Indigenous children on measures of formal educational outcomes in comparison to the rest of the population.  Suitable solutions ranged from the use of coercive measures to increase school attendance, to new curricula and teaching styles so that teachers were better attuned to the ‘learner’s frame of reference’.   These alternative approaches could be characterized as those focused on behavioral change versus those focused on creating an attractive and culturally relevant learning environment.

There are tangible links to more recent policy debates.  A 2006 article discussed the rise of Shared Responsibility Agreements (SRAs) in the Howard Government’s approach to Indigenous affairs.  Under these agreements, state funding for specified services and infrastructure has been made contingent upon Indigenous peoples’ commitment to behavioral change.  Several SRAs have involved Indigenous commitments to increase school attendance rates in return for government funded facilities such as…...

Marketing Plan
Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues in Marketing

It is crucial to consider ethical, legal, and social issues when making marketing decisions. Considering these issues is even more important in the context of international marketing. In the international context, considerations are made to not only the domestic market, but also the foreign market. his section highlights the ethical, legal, and social issues affecting the marketing of laundry detergents in the U.S. (the domestic market) and the UK (the foreign market).

Ethical issues basically relate to the moral principles that govern marketing (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2009). Major ethical issues in marketing include consumer safety, personal autonomy, stereotyping, market exclusion, selective marketing, pricing ethics, deceptive advertising, negative advertising, sexuality, and so forth. wo important ethical considerations in the marketing of laundry detergents relate to consumer safety and deceptive advertising. As laundry detergents are made of chemical compounds, hazardous ingredients and additives can pose…...

The importance of monitoring marketing performance is critical to evaluate and control the effect of the activity in reaching its desired outcomes. This entails determining the extent to which the formulated marketing objectives are achieved. In this case, the objectives include increasing awareness of the brand in the U.S. and UK markets, expanding the customer base, and raising brand loyalty in the next three years. Accordingly, marketing performance ought to be evaluated on the basis of these aspects. After the three years: What will be the level of brand awareness? How many customers will the organisation have? How many of those customers will be loyal or repeat customers? What will be level of customer satisfaction? Answering these questions will project the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the marketing initiative. As the achievement of the above objectives is tied to the bottom line, marketing performance can also be monitored by tracking changes in sales performance. Increased sales would be an indication of the effectiveness of the marketing initiative. Though the strategic objectives are to be achieved within three years, it is important to note that monitoring marketing performance is an ongoing process. Rather than waiting for the end of the three years, the tracking should be broken down into shorter periods, for example quarterly and annually.

It is apparent that misinterpretation and misperception about the Muslim culture and ethnicity has justified the disinclination of teachers to risk interfering with the Muslim heritage in the classrooms. Muslim ethnicity deals with the tradition and history of successive Muslim generations. The culture of the Muslims is the thoughts, traditions, as well as, art of the present generation of Muslims. The Muslim culture has not been motionless instead it has been in an active environment of social life. The educational program will clearly differentiate amid the Muslim culture and ethnicity so as to maintain and protect their ethnic characteristics while liberating them…...

Moral and Social Issue of Recent Media Debate
hy Censorship of Sexuality Cannot Exist in the Modern, American Media

ith the rather sentimental reminiscing about the end of the ten-year-old television show "Friends," it is easy to forget some of the controversy that surrounded this eight p.m. show during its first years of network airing, before its images became institutionalized as part of our cultural discourse. "Friends" was noted for the high level of sexuality incorporated into a relatively early show, spanning the reference framework from lesbianism to single motherhood, to 'going commando' in one's style of evening underwear. The recent 'wardrobe malfunction' of Janet Jackson on live television during the Super Bowl similarly highlighted the discomfort with open displays of sexuality on television in American culture, that seems to be accompanied by an equally intense fascination with sexuality. This dual adolescent American cultural fascination and repulsion by explicit sexuality, which…...

Green Initiatives by Wipro

Green IT is defined as the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers and related components like monitors, printers, networking and communications devises and storage drives such that it has no impact on the environment. (Murugesan, San, 2008). The objective of green IT solutions is to:

a) educe the application of hazardous materials

b) Maximize energy efficiency during the product life cycle

c) Promotion of recyclability or biodegradable materials to minimize wastage.

The challenge of green technology is twofold, first to make computers as much energy-efficient as possible and second is to design algorithms and systems that effectively use computer technology. Wipro has initiated the green IT with consolidation and visualization. Computer visualization is the notion of computer resources like the process of running two or more logical computer systems on one set of physical…...

hat does it mean to be a black artist in America?

Ishmael Reed's play The C. Above High C. juxtaposes the world of jazz with the civil rights struggles of the 1950s. It depicts famous trumpeter Louis Armstrong's support of the students in Little Rock, Arkansas and the opposition Armstrong experienced from his managers and the American public regarding his stance. The play explicitly illustrates the conflict between art and politics: Armstrong's personal beliefs in his mind were clearly tied to his art. As a black man in a historically black genre of music, he felt compelled to speak his conscious. However, it was far more 'comfortable' for those white men making a profit off of his…...

Within each group there are specific girls that can best be described as the Alpha Female and typically gather a following through misogynist and ablesit practices. Although there are actions of violence that occur within these individual groups, there are also acts of violence that occur between separate groups.
One of the most common forms of this group-mentality violence is what is commonly referred to as bullying. Although bullying is not always physically violent, it is almost always emotionally and/or psychologically violent. This is the type of violence that sees the non-leader girls doing whatever it takes to win the favor of the girl leader and thus gain acceptance into the group. Often times this requires picking out a certain female, either from another group or a non-associated girl, and singling her out for unfair, violent and demeaning behavior. y "beating up" on one girl, who is typically powerless, the…...

Others suggest that redesigning evaluation procedures or revised methods of scoring could help. All have been tried, some have helped, and most have failed.
What is soon discovered is that all these solutions applied to a fundamentally and inherently defective test will not bring about a positive result. (ernhard) the thought that all members of every population will look at the world in the same way is false.

The notion of cultural validity in assessment addresses the fact that society and culture may influence the way in which individuals interpret test items and respond to them. A test cannot be considered as culturally valid if these sociocultural influences are not taken into account throughout the entire process of its development. (Solano-Flores)

We have discovered that most experts agree it is difficult, if not impossible, to compose a test that is free of cultural bias. And one of the primary problems we have…...

Women face a higher risk than men of a drastic drop in standards of living at retirement age, women account for the majority of the over 60 population in almost all countries.

This could very well be because women generally are not involved in decisions made in terms of economic, financial and related agendas. The following information supports the preceding statements:

Women still comprise only 13% of national legislators and 14% of government ministers worldwide. Among policymaking areas, economics and finance have the lowest levels of women's representation across all countries, only 29 female ministers hold economics related portfolios (including finance, economics, trade, development, industry and agriculture). Women are more likely to be concentrated in the so-called soft domains such as education, health, social affairs and human resources. Internationally, the number of women in the decision-making structure of the major finance and trade institutions is also dismally low."("Women Challenging Globalization" 2002)

Hip-Hop & Kemet
When discussing Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes with Mike D. And Jon A. I found their reaction to the issues presented in the documentary to be very similar. Given Mike D. And Jon A. have an extensive knowledge of music, it was easier to engage them in a conversation about the social impact of hip-hop and the recurring themes of the music genre.

The first and main aspect of the documentary that was discussed was the prevalence of masculine themes in contemporary rap music. We all agreed that masculinity is a common theme given the social history of blacks in America, which can be traced back to slavery and abolition to the civil rights movement. However, Mike and Jon argued that somewhere along the line of rap and its social historical standpoint, the message conveyed by black men became lost and instead of preaching for equality and justice,…...

socially constructed. What was considered a problem in one era or cultural context is not considered a problem at all in another context. Social issues can be reframed as social problems, and likewise, social problems can be downgraded into simple issues that matter to specific segments of the population. However, sociologists need to be mindful of the problems of ethical relativism when offering too much leeway with regards to downgrading social problems into mere issues or vice versa. Injustice and inequality are generally problematic, whether or not a culture or religion advocates hierarchy or inequitable power distribution based on race, gender, or class status.
Although I am more generally interested in studying gender as a social issue, a more pressing problem has recently come to my attention especially in the United States. That problem is anti-intellectualism or anti-science. It seems as if there has been a consistent undercurrent of anti-intellectualism…...

Three iconic high school dance movies helped shape popular culture from the late 1970s to the late 1980s: Dirty Dancing, Grease, and Footloose.  While the movies all focused on high school aged teens, they also had other similarities that are worth exploring.  They all feature relationships with a boy from the “wrong side of the tracks” in some way.  This is reminiscent of West Side Story, the original teen dance epic.  Of course, West Side Story derives its story from Romeo and Juliet.  Your thesis could focus on those similarities or you could....

Title: The Benefits of Mandatory Community Service for Secondary School Students

Introduction:
The modern education system should aim to produce well-rounded individuals who are not only academically successful but also socially responsible. Community service plays a vital role in this development, as it exposes students to various societal issues, instills empathy, and fosters a sense of duty towards their communities. Therefore, it is essential that every secondary school student be required to participate in community service as a condition for graduation.

I. Enhancing Social Awareness
A. Community service exposes students to diverse social issues in their local communities.
