According
to some authors (for example Shaw & McKay) it’s very difficult to give an accurate explanation
to the term social disorganization. It’s generally agreed that social disorganization may be
regarded as deficiency of effective management of existing social institutions which leads to the
cases of disorder in society. In many respects the main principles of social disorganization theory
is the study and analysis of certain social organizations and communities which can have much in
common in different locations so they give the characteristics to the number of social
disorganization processes which occur in today’s society. Continue reading “Criminal Justice System Essay”
Marketing Management Research Paper
Introduction
Profit
maximization and satisfaction customers’ requirements are two essential objectives of any marketing
management. Marketing management uses a lot of instruments in order to achieve these goals with the
best possible results, and of course market segmentation is one of them. Market segmentation has
been an important tool of marketing management that helped such world-wide known corporation as
Nestle and Reebok reach tremendous popularity among customers all over the world. When a famous
sportswear company Reebok International held its first segmented marketing, it increased its sales
of sports footwear from .3 to 0 million in a rather short period of time (a couple of years). At
that time vice-president of Reebok announced in one of his interviews that “Reebok relied on
intuition, observation, and one-on-one conversations with retailers and potential customers and
discovered a hidden, but very large market segment – women” [1]. Not all companies dare to hold
market segmentation due to its large expenses and tunnel vision on future of those companies,
because the majority of them are satisfied only with present success not thinking about future and
more important goals. Market segmentation often goes side by side with product differentiation,
which is a market strategy used to make companies goods and services seem different from those
belonging to the competitors. The main principle that distinguishes these two methods is the object
of study. While market segmentation tries to identify the characteristics of the market and develops
strategies to reach meaningful segments, product differentiation distinguishes the product from a
group of similar products. However, in this research paper the major objective is to analyze market
segmentation, its ways of accomplishment and major factors that are necessary to take into account
while determining the usefulness of market segment to a company [2] Continue reading “Marketing Management Research Paper”

Adams,
P., & Burford, G. (2004). Restorative Justice, Responsive Regulation and Social Work. Journal
of Sociology & Social Welfare, 31, 7+.
The authors’ main purpose is to stress the importance of several dichotomies that underpin social
work, including the correlation “between formal and informal helping and between care and control,
or empowerment and coercion” (Adams, Burford, 2004). They bring in the work of J. Braithwaite,
Restorative Justice and Responsive Regulation, that elucidates these concepts and try to put his
ideas in context of social work.
Adams and Burford (2004) argue that every look at social work will exhibit a certain degree of social control implicit in the profession as even empowerment “disguises a coercive core”. Pointing to worries about the “colonial” relationship between middle-class social workers and those in their care. The authors introduce Braithwaite’s findings to sociologists, aiming to help them create a more equitable and democratic environment for their also shatter the rosy image of restorative justice stressing that convicts will often be shamed for their deeds, which does not help them to return to non-deviant behavior and argue for Braithwaite’s idea of replacing restorative justice in its contemporary look with responsive regulation that will draw on the criminal’s own social network.

Critical Thinking Problem
The
C.P.A. in this scenario assumes that the owner neglects the business because of his dying son; he
also assumes that this is unfair to him, as he is the one who handles the work load and his pay is
nevertheless decreased. Emotion might influence his decision to quite an extent, since he can
imagine himself in the situation of business owner and realizes that work would not have been a
priority for him as well under those conditions. Logic is important in this situation; the C.P.A.
logically thinks that with time business will only deteriorate, and his pay will decrease as well.
There is certain conflict of values inherent in the situation: the C.P.A. wants to earn what he truly deserves (self realization and self esteem), but at the same time he cannot simply leave the owner with his dying son (sympathy and kindness). Critical thinking can be deployed in order to come up with the best course of action available to C.P.A. in this situation. The C.P.A. has one feasible option that would incorporate all the values described above: he can offer the business owner to become partners in the business at issue.

Security
in the Internet economy has become too complex and dynamic for Great Catalogs Inc. to deal with, and
traditional approaches to security aren’t helping. A handful of products and an occasional audit
can’t address a fast-changing security environment and provide the protection that organizations
need. The advantages of cost, speed, and access demand that companies leverage the Internet and open
their networks to partners, customers, suppliers (and sometimes even competitors). In this
interconnected environment, new and unfamiliar security risks are a daily reality. (Richardson, p.

Essay: Newton’s First Law of Motion
A
human being is a very dependable creature that cannot exist in isolation from the surrounding
people. In fact people are always influenced by different forces which may be divided into internal
and external. It has always been an important question that philosophers and thinkers of different
epochs and different nations attempted to answer, what these forces are and the extent to which they
can change our life.
Speaking about external forces that influenced me in person I should say that at first glance my life is full of different events and I am surrounded by many people that seem to be important for me but, on deeper reflection, I realise that our life reminds me a river that flows constantly without changing its direction and it is out of our will to change it somehow. In actuality it is really seems to be that the direction can be changed very seldom but what is important is the fact that it is changeable and it is me who can change my life or the direction I move.

Family Pressure Essay
For a young person like me, the family experience is frequently the most definitive one. My family life has been full of ups and downs that both served to make me a stronger, more mature person and foster resistance to life’s sharp turns. My professional interest in psychology has also developed under the influence of family relations.
To start with, my parents got divorced when I was only 8 months old, with my father leaving for Canada never to appear again in our lives. Financial struggles, pressures from the full-time job and cultural rejection of a single mother in her environment proved too big a challenge for my mother. She developed serious emotional problems and, unable to handle the baby, sent me to live with my grandmother who since then became the main source of love, affection and support in my life.

The string of accounting scandals in corporate America in the past decade has contributed to public distrust in corporate operations and created an environment in which financial reporting is viewed with more suspicion than before. Together with Enron, WorldCom case has become a classical tale of accounting fraud.

Essay on Urban Legends
I would like to start by saying that urban legends represent a folklore that comprises stories which are only factual to those who create them, such as rumors. This term urban legends is used to mean expression similar to apocryphal story.
Since the urban legends oftentimes are repeated and spread through the mass media as well as online (email, chats, forums, www) people indeed believe that such stories happened to a friend of a friend (FOAF) that the FOAF would become the very community to describe such stories. In Great Britain urban legends are called Whale Tumor Stories which derives the name from the famous WWII urban legend about the whale meat.
Urban legends are not necessarily untrue, yet typically they are exaggerated, distorted to the point of sensation and despite the word “urban” do not apply only to the urban settings. The name is used to differentiated urban legends from traditional folklore created in pre-industrial times. Continue reading “Essay on Urban Legends”
