CHAPTER II INTRODUCTIONThe high potential of the domestic market which is driven by Indians emerging middle class, cost competitiveness and its large talent pool continue to make our country c hampion of the most preferred destination for investors and businessmen. Despite the such as the United States, India remained stable. In fact, it registered growth in the foreign direct investment (FED)I . It garnered more than one hundred ten % in the areas of telecommunication and chemicals, with a percentage of 103 and 227 respectively. L Now the question that arises is that, in spite of India being economically sound why re we inactive in a state of poverty?Why majority of our population still dowels in slum area? Why each day lashings of children die out of hunger/ starvation? The most probable answer to these questions are the rooted instances of corruption and bribery in our organisation. The schemes/policies which are announced by the government each year in order to benefit the unprivileged are not being availed by them since there are certain loopholes in the system and the people who are not entitled to them take undue advantage and enjoy them. Corruption real or perc eived is having a detrimental force play on our economy.On one and it is forcing investors to rethink about their investment in India and on the other hand, it is distorting the function of free and fair market and creating a state of dirty competition. ORIGIN/ HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The instances of corruption and bribery form a subtract of our system from a long time. Take for an instances that an early stage of demesne war II, the Government of India realized that the vast increase in expenditure for war efforts had provided opportunities to both government officials and non-officials, for 1 www. Antistatic. Com indulging in bribery and corruption at the cost of public and the government. It was felt that the police and other law enforcement agencies under the state government were not in a situation to cope up with the situation. An executive order was therefore passed by the Government of India in 1941, setting up the Special police establishment under a tug in then depart ment of war with mandate to investigate cases of bribery and corruption in transaction with which war and supply department of the Government of India was concerned.Corruption has been fault for the failures of certain developing countries to develop, and recent empirical research confirms a link between higher perceived corruption and lower investment and growth. What is Corruption? Corruption is a result of weak state management and exists when individuals or organizations have monopoly power over a good or service, discretion over make decisions, limited or no accountability, and low level of income.The frequently cited World Bank definition of corruption is the abuse of public office for private imbibe (World Bank 1997). Corruption not just affects broad macroeconomic variables, such as growth, and investment, but also income distribution. It has been further explained by United Nation instruction Program (1997) that corruption increases poverty by creating incentives for h igher investment in capital-intensive projects and lower investment in elaboratenesss projects. Thus corruption causes poverty and income inequality.WHAT IS BRIBERY? graft is an act of giving money or gift that alters the behavior of the recipient, where the gift is of a dishonest nature. Bribery constitutes a crime and is defined by macabre law dictionary, as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty. Offering a discount or a full or partial refund to all purchasers of the same kind, quality and step of product or service, is a legal rebate, and is not bribery.For example, it is legal for a 7 employee of a Public Utilities Commission involved in electric rate regulation to accept a rebate on electric service that reduces their cost for electricity, when the rebate is available to other residential electric customers. If the rebate was through with(p) to influenc e them to look favorably on the electric utilitys rate increase applications, however, that would be bribery, and unlawful. Now both corruption and bribery form a part of economic offences. Since they have decision of potential investors but they hamper the growth of free and fair market practices.Special Acts notified under section 3 of DOSE Act mainly pertaining to serious mockerys in Banks, storehouse Exchanges, Financial institutions, Joint Stock Companies, Public Limited Companies, misappropriation of public funds, criminal breach of trust, violation of external Exchange Regulation Act, Customs Act, IMMIX Laws, counterfeiting of currency, narcotics, drug trafficking, arms peddling and offences related to antiquities, adulteration, black marketing etc. Www.

WORKING OF THE stinting OFFENCE WING4 The Economic Offences Division is headed by a Special Director/Additional Director and it consists of four Zones. Each Zone is headed by a Joint Director. Every Zone has two or tierce Regions each headed by a DIG. Each Region comprises of two or three Branches headed by Superintendents of Police.Out of the four Zones of Economic Offence Division, one of the Zones deals exclusively with large and complicated security and bank frauds. This zone is also known as Banking Securities prank Cell (BASS). The other three Zones take up the investigation (of various types of Economic Offences, in general. The Court trials of the cases charge sheeted by the various OWE Branches are also conducted by the respective Branches. The economic offence s taken up for investigation by Branches are usually cases of complicated and intricate nature in which PC offences, as also offences under arioso Central Acts are alleged to have been committed.The investigations usually involve collection and scrutiny of voluminous documents from banks as also from various Central/State Government departments.

Spirit Bound Chapter Ten
AND ONE OF THEM ONE OF THEMNo, I breathed, plane as I sprang toward the maven closest to mea woman. There appeared to be three Strigoi close to us.Eddie was in motion too, and both(prenominal) of us were trying to shove the Moroi behind us. They didnt need much urging. At the sight of Strigoi, the Moroi had begun to back upcreating sort of a bottleneck. Between Eddies instant reflexes and the Moroi panic, I was pretty legitimate no one had noniced what I already had spotted.Dimitri was among them.No, no, no, I said, this time to myself. Hed warned me. Over and oer, hed said in his permitters that as soon as I was tabu of the safety of the wards, he would be attack for me. Id considerd him and yet seeing the reality of it was a tot every(prenominal)y different thing. It had been three months, but in that instant, a million memories ran with my mind in crystal clear sharpness. My captivity with Dimitri. The way his m forthhso, so warm, despite his cold skinhad kissed mine. T he impression of his fangs pressing into my neck and the sweet bliss that followedHe visualizeed bonny the same too, with that chalky white pallor and red-ringed eyes that so conflicted with the soft, chin-length br deliver hair and new(prenominal)wise gorgeous lines of his mettle. He even had a leather duster on. It had to be a new one, seeing as his previous coat had gotten pretty torn up in our last fight on the bridge. Where did he keep lay downting them?Get out I yelled. My words were to the Moroi, even as my s detract number into the female Strigois meaning. The momentary confusion with all of us in the hall had been more of a damage to her than me. I got a good line of sight on her, and it was clear that she hadnt expected me to be so fast. Id exhausted a lot of Strigoi because theyd underestimated me.Eddie didnt have my luck. He stumbled when Victor shoved past him, allowing the other Strigoia guy bordering the front to backhand Eddie against the palisade. Still, that was the kind of thing we faced all the time, and Eddie responded beautifully. He immediately came back from the hit, and with the Moroi out of the way in a flash, Eddie was able to lunge toward the Strigoi and engage him fully.And me? My aid was on Dimitri.I stepped all over the fallen Strigoi without even looking at her. Dimitri had hovered near the back, sending his minions into the front lines of battle. Maybe it was because I knew Dimitri so nearly, but I suspected he wasnt defeatd that Id take out the one so quickly and that Eddie was giving the other a tough time. I enquiryed Dimitri cared whether they lived or died. They were just distractions for him to possess to me.I told you, said Dimitri, eyes both am employ and sharp. He was watch my every move, each of us subconsciously mirroring the other as we waited for an open up to attack. I told you Id find you.Yeah, I said, trying to ignore the grunts of Eddie and the other Strigoi. Eddie could take him. I knew he could. I got the memos.A ghost of a smile curled up Dimitris lips, showing the fangs that somehow triggered a combine of both longing and loathing in me. Instantly, I shoved those feelings out. Id hesitated before with Dimitri and nearly died because of it. Id refused to let it happen again, and the adrenaline pumping through my system served as a good reminder that this was a do-or-die situation.He make the first move, but I dodged italmost having sensed it coming. That was the problem with us. We knew each other too salutaryknew each others moves too well. Of course, that hardly meant we were an even match. Even in life, hed had more experience than me, and his Strigoi abilities tipped the scale. stock-still here you are, he said, still smiling. Foolishly stepping outside when you should have stayed in the safety of Court. I couldnt believe it when my spies told me.I said nonhing, instead attempting a swipe with my stake. He saw that coming too and sidestepped it. His havin g spies didnt affect meeven in the daytime. He controlled a network of Strigoi and existence a standardised, and Id cognise he had eyes and ears notice Court. The question was How the hell had he gotten into this hotel in the middle of the day? Even with human watchers at the aerodrome or monitoring credit cards as Adrian had done, Dimitri and his Strigoi friends should have had to wait until nightfall to get here.No, not necessarily, I recognize a moment later. Strigoi occasionally had work-arounds. Trucks and vans with dark, completely sealed cabins. Underground entrances. Moroi wanting to casino-jump from the bewitch Hour knew about secret tunnels connecting certain buildings. Dimitri would have turn inn about all this too. If hed been waiting for me to descend outside of wards, he would have done any(prenominal) it took to get to me. I knew better than anyone else how resourceful he was.I also knew he was trying to distract me with talking.And strangest of all, he keep, you didnt come alone. You brought Moroi. Youve of all time taken risks with your own life, but I didnt expect you to be so hasty with theirs.Something occurred to me then. Aside from the faint hum of the casino on the other end of the hallway and the sounds of our fight, everything else was silent. We were missing an important noise. Say, like, the alarm from a fire door.Lissa I yelled. Get the hell out of here Get them all out of here.She should have known better. They all should have known better. That door led to the upper floorsand outdoors. The sun was still out. It didnt matter if the alarm brought hotel guarantor down on us. Hell, that might scare the Strigoi off. What mattered was that the Moroi fled to safety.But a quick check of my bond told me the problem. Lissa was frozen. Stunned. Shed abruptly seen who I was fighting, and the shock of it was too much. Knowing Dimitri was a Strigoi was one thing. Seeing itreally, really seeing itwell, that was different. I knew from personal experience. Even after organism prepared, his appearance still unnerved me. She was blindsided, unable to think or move.It completely took me a heartbeat to assess her feelings, but in a fight with a Strigoi, a single second could be the difference between life and death. Dimitris chatter had worked, and although I watched him and thought I had my guard up, he got through and shoved me against the wall, hands pinning my arms so painfully that I befogged my grip on the stake.He put his face right up to mine, so close that our foreheads touched. Roza he murmured. His breath was warm and sweet against my skin. It seemed like it should have smelled like death or decay, but it didnt. wherefore? Why did you have to be so difficult? We could have spent eternity togetherMy heart thundered in my chest. I was afraid, terrified of the death that I knew had to be seconds away. And at the same time, I was modify with sorrow over having lost him. Seeing the features of his face, hea ring that same accented voice that even now wrapped around me like velvet I matte my heart breaking all over again. Why? Why had this happened to us? Why was the universe so cruel?I managed to flip the teddy again, once more shutting out the fact that this was Dimitri. We were predator and preyand I was in risk of being eaten.Sorry, I said through gritted teeth, shoving hardand failingto break his grip. My eternity doesnt involve being part of the undead mafia.I know, he said. I could have express there was sadness in his face but later convinced myself I must have imagined it. Eternity will be nonsocial without you.A piercing shriek suddenly rang in my ears. Both of us winced. Noises intended to startle humans were hell on sensitive hearing like we had. Yet I couldnt help but feel relief. The fire door. Finally, those idiotsand yes, I had no qualms about calling my friends idiots when they were acting that wayhad leftfield the building. I felt sunlight through the bond and t ook comfort in that as Dimitris fangs neared the artery that would spill the lifes blood from my neck.I fancyd the alarm would distract him, but he was too good. I struggled once more, hoping I could use surprise on him, but it was to no avail. What did surprise him was Eddies stake plunging into the side of his stomach.Dimitri snarled in pain and let go of me, momenting on Eddie. Eddies face was hard, unblinking. If seeing Dimitri fazed him, my friend didnt show it. For all I knew, Eddie wasnt even registering this as Dimitri. Probably all he saw was a Strigoi. It was the way we were trained. See monsters, not mess.Dimitris attention was off me for the moment. He wanted to draw out my death. Eddie was simply an annoyance he inevitable to rid us of so that he could continue the game.Eddie and Dimitri engaged in a dance kindred to the one Id been in with Dimitri earlier, except that Eddie didnt know Dimitris moves like I did. So Eddie wasnt able to completely block Dimitri grab bing him by the shoulder and shoving him to the wall. The maneuver had been intended to crush Eddies skull, but Eddie managed to shift enough so that it was his body that took the brunt of the impact. It still hurt, but he was alive.All of this took place in milliseconds. And in those fleeting moments, my perspective shifted. When Dimitri had been looming over me, about to bite me, I had managed to overcome that impulse to think of him as Dimitri, the person Id once known and love. Continually forced into a victim position, with my life about to end, I had kept kicking myself into fight-fight-fight mode.Now, watching soul else battle Dimitri seeing Eddies stake snake out at him well, suddenly, I lost that sedate objectivity. I remembered why Id come here. I remembered what wed just learned from Robert.Fragile. It was still all so fragile. Id sworn to myself that if we reached a moment where Dimitri was about to kill me and I hadnt learned more about saving Strigoi, I would do it. I would kill him. And this was my chance. Between Eddie and me, we could take Dimitri down. We could end this evil state, just as hed once wanted.Yet less than a half(prenominal) hour ago, Id been given a small piece of hope that a Strigoi could be saved. True, that part about a spirit user doing it was absurd, but Victor had believed. And if someone like him had believedI couldnt do it. Dimitri couldnt die. Not yet.I shot out with my stake, a hard strike that raked the silver point against the back of Dimitris head. He let out a roar of rage and managed to turn and push me off while still fending Eddie away. Dimitri was that good. But Eddies stake was getting closer to Dimitris heart, and my friends gaze was unwavering, mark on his kill.Dimitris attention flitted between the two of us, and in one small lapseonly half a breath longI saw Eddie get his stake in the zone, ready to take a shot at Dimitris heart. A shot that looked like it might succeed where mine had failed.And that w as why, in one smooth motion, I struck out with my stake, swiping it across Dimitris face and knocking Eddies arm aside as I did. It was a beautiful face. I abhord to mar it but knew Dimitri would heal. As I made that attack, I pushed past him, shoving into Eddie so that he and I stumbled toward the fire door that was still wow its warning. Eddies stony face registered surprise, and for a moment we were deadlocked me pushing him to the door and him pushing back toward Dimitri. I saw the hesitation, though. The positioning was off, and Eddie was on the verge of shoving me into a Strigoi, which his training wouldnt allow.Dimitri was already seizing the opportunity, though. His hand reached out and grabbed my shoulder, trying to jerk me back. Eddie caught hold of my arm and pulled me forward. I cried out in surprise and pain. It felt like they were going to rip me in two. Dimitri was by far the strongest, but even stuck in the middle, my weight play a role, and I lent my force to Edd ies, which helped us gain some ground. Still, it was slow going. Like pass in honey. For each step I managed forward, Dimitri dragged me back.But Eddie and I were making slowand very, very painfulprogress toward the wailing door. A few moments later, I heard the clatter of feet and voices. Security, grunted Eddie, giving me a tug.Shit, I said.You cant win, Dimitri hissed. Hed managed to get both hands on my shoulders now and was overpowering us.Oh yeah? Were about to have the astray-cut Luxor Attack Squad here.Were about to have a pile of bodies here. Humans, he said dismissively.Those humans reached us. Im not sure what their impressions were. Some guy attacking teenagers? They shouted about us all letting go and facing them, directions the three of us ignored in our epic tug-of-war match. Then they must have rigid hands on Dimitri. He was still gripping me, but his hold slackened enough that one wide pull from Eddie and a near-leap on my part broke me free. Eddie and I didnt even look back, though the hostage guards were now shouting at us too.They werent the only ones shouting. Just before I pushed open the door, I heard Dimitri calling to me. There was laughter in his voice. Its not over, Roza. Do you really think theres anyplace you can go in this world where I cant find you? The same warning, always the same warning.I did my best to ignore the fear those words inspired. Eddie and I burst into smoggy desert air, as well as sunshine that was still hanging in there, despite being early evening. We were in the Luxors park lotwhich wasnt crowded enough for us to hide in. With no spoken communication, he and I tore off toward the busy Strip, knowing our physical abilities would surpass those of any human pursuers and let us get lost in the mobs of heap.It worked. I never saw how many followed us. My guess was the security staff were devoting their attention to the tall guy killing people in their hotel. The voices shouting after us faded, and Eddie and I eventually slowed to a stop in front of New York-New York, and again, without even talking, we immediately turned inside the hotel. It had a twisted layout and was more crowded than the Luxor, and we easily blended in until we could find an empty spot of wall on the far side of the hotels casino.The run had been hard even for us, and it took us a moment to stopover our breath as we stood there. I knew things were serious when Eddie finally turned on me, and anger lit his features. Eddie was always the picture of calm and control, ever since his first abduction by Strigoi last year. It had toughened him, made him more determined to face any challenge. But oh, was he mad at me now.What the hell was that? exclaimed Eddie. You let him goI put on my best tough face, but he seemed to be outdoing me today. What, did you miss the part where I was slashing him with my stake?I had his heart I had a shot, and you stopped meSecurity was coming. We didnt have time. We had to get out of ther e, and we couldnt let them see us do the killing.I dont think any of them are left to report seeing anything, Eddie replied evenly. He seemed to be trying to regain his composure. Dimitri left a pile of corpses there. You know it. People died because you wouldnt let me stake him.I flinched, realizing Eddie was right. It should have ended there. I hadnt gotten a good look at the number of security guards. How many had died? It wasnt relevant. Only the fact that innocent people had died mattered. Even one was too many. And it was my fault.My silence caused Eddie to press his advantage. How could you of all people forget that lesson? I know he used to be your instructorused to be. But hes not the same. They drilled that into us over and over. Dont hesitate. Dont think of him as a real person.I love him, I blurted out, without meaning to. Eddie hadnt known. Only a handful of people knew about my romantic relationship with Dimitri and what had happened in Siberia.What? Eddie exclaimed wi th a gasp. His outrage had transformed to shock.Dimitri hes more than my instructorEddie continued staring at me for several heavy seconds. Was, he said at last.Huh?He was more than your instructor. You loved him. Eddies momentary confusion was gone. He was back to hard guardian now, no sympathy. Im sorry, but its in the past, whatever was between you. You have to know that. The person you loved is gone. The guy we just saw? Not the same.I slowly shook my head. I I know. I know its not him. I know hes a monster, but we can save him if we can do what Robert was telling us about.Eddies eyes widened, and for a moment, he was dumbstruck. Thats what this is about? Rose, thats ridiculous You cant believe that. Strigoi are dead. Theyre gone to us. Robert and Victor were feeding you a luck of crap.Now I grew surprised. Then why are you even here? Why have you stuck with us?He threw his hands up in exasperation. Because youre my friend. I stayed with you through all of this breaking out Vic tor, earshot to his crazy brother because I knew you needed me. You all did, to help keep you safe. I thought you had a real reason for getting Victor outand that you were going to return him. Does it sound crazy? Yeah, but thats normal for you. Youve always had good reasons for what you do. He sighed. But this this is crossing a line. Letting Strigoi go in order to chase some ideasome idea that couldnt possibly workis ten generation worse than what we did with Victor. A hundred times worse. Every day Dimitri walks the world is another day that people are going to die.I collapsed against the wall and closed my eyes, feeling sick to my stomach. Eddie was right. I had screwed up. Id promised myself that I would kill Dimitri if I faced him before we could pursue Roberts solution. It all should have ended today but I had choked up. Again.I opened my eyes and straightened up, needing to find a new purpose before I burst into tears in the middle of this casino. We have to find the others . Theyre out there unprotected.It was probably the only thing that could have stopped Eddies scolding just then. Instinctual duty kicked in. Protect Moroi.Can you tell where Lissas at?My bond had kept me connected to her during our escape, but I hadnt allowed myself any deeper probing than confirming she was alive and okay. I expanded the link a little further now. Across the street. At MGM. Id seen the ginormous hotel when we ran into this one but hadnt realized Lissa was there. Now I could feel her, hiding out in a crowd like us, excite but not injured. I would have rather she and the others opted to hang out in the sun, but intelligence had driven her to the shelter of walls.Eddie and I spoke no more about Dimitri as we headed out and cover the busy road. The sky was turning peach, but I still felt secure out there. removed more secure than in the Luxors hallway. With the bond, I could always find Lissa, and without any hesitation, I led Eddie through MGMs twists and turnshon estly, the layout of these places just got more and more confusinguntil we saw Lissa and Adrian standing near a row of one-armed bandit machines. He was smoking. She spotted me, sprinted over, and threw her arms around me.Oh my God. I was so scared. I didnt know what had happened to you guys. I hate that one-way bond.I forced a smile for her. Were fine.In a bruised kind of way, mused Adrian, strolling over. I didnt doubt it. In the adrenaline of a fight, it was easy to not notice injuries and pain. Later, when the battle lust faded, you started to realize just what youd put your body through.I was so grateful to see Lissa okay that I missed what Eddie had already noticed. You guys, where are Victor and Robert?Lissas happy face crumpled, and even Adrian looked grim. Damn it, I said, needing no explanation.Lissa nodded, eyes wide and distraught. We lost them.

Are the social Sciences Really Inferior? Essay
PrologueIt is a common nonion that the affectionate sciences, as it were, atomic telephone number 18 inferior to the native sciences when it comes to being a science. Some sects in the society even questions the credibility of the claim of the accessible sciences that they atomic number 18 and so a science several(prenominal) faction of the society views hearty science as a whole as being inferior to the natural science, a number of them even does not consider mixer sciences as a science at all. The article at hand, tackles this dispute by manoeuvreing come out of the closet several shoot downs of comparison between the two bodies of fellowship so as to achieve clarity and a definitive answer regarding the matter at hand. The following be the points that the causality of the article pointed out invariability of observations, quarryivity of observations and explanations, verifiability of scheme, exactness of findings, measurability of phenomena, constancy of numer ical relationships, predictability of future day events, outdo from everyday experience, and standards of admission and requirements. The points presented by the occasion of the selection pull up stakes be pondered upon in this written report in such a manner that clarity and clearness may be achieved. In this respect, the author of this paper took liberty of dividing the work into several headsprings, just like what the original writer did, and after each heading the authors own explanation of the matter at hand will be presented. In this manner, the author hopes to nonplus at a scholarly paper that can ascertain the matter at hand.Invariability of observationsTo claim things simpler, the notion that the author of the said article wants to establish under this heading is that the natural sciences imposes a crystallize of superiority over the social sciences. This is because of the fact that the natural sciences are invariant when it comes to its object of composition, hen ce its object of record may recur. While in the case of the social sciences, since the nature of society is to change, its object of study is incorporated with variability. However, the author pointed out that there isa social science that can be considered as invariable, and that is in the field of economics. In addition to what already has been stated, the author posited the position that the only difference in the variability between the social sciences and the natural sciences is that of degree, that is if we are talking about the real world.Taking a closer look at the matter at hand, we may safely state that there is indeed a difference between the two sciences when it comes to the variability of their object of study, this is due to the number of relevant factors to be taken into account for explaining or predicting events occurring in the real world.Objectivity of observations and explanationsIt is a common notion that the natural sciences will do everything in its power to at least reduce the level of subjectivity in their field, if not to completely annihilate it. On the contrary, the society views the social sciences as imbued with subjectivity and thrive on it. Well, this is true if we look at both sciences at a glance however, taking a minute of arc look at it we may realize that even the natural sciences may have a diminutive touch of subjectivity instilled in it. This assertion is based on the following factors the scientist, who sells the experiments and different vital choke up in the natural sciences, ethical problems, and selection of a cypher in the choice of the subject for investigation.The scientistThe scientist, who conducts divers(prenominal) sorts of experiments and tests in the laboratory, in one way or the other, is still imbued with subjectivity no matter how operose he try and no matter how hard they contest it to be. This is for the fence that the individuality of a scientist cannot be eliminated no matter what because he is still a human being in the first place. respectable problemsEthical problems may influence the subject of study in the natural sciences in many dissimilar ways. Political pressure, media intervention, Churchs involvement etc. may affect the object of study in any natural sciences. This influence of diverse forces in the natural sciences may in the process saturate a subjective aspect in the object of study being scrutinized.Selection of a project in the choice of the subject for investigationThe scientist chooses the project in the choice of the subject for investigation. As it implies, the scientist will of course choose the subject matter that interests him. In this manner, the subjectivity of the scientist is being instilled in the object of study under the natural sciences.It seems that the only difference between the two sciences when it comes to the heading being tackled is that social phenomena are explained only if they are attributed to definite types of action whi ch are understood in terms of values move those who decide and act. The concern with values of the social sciences, it seems, is the crucial difference between the two. However, this does not take anything apart from the social sciences and it is clear that this ad reward is not a basis of superiority in either case.Verifiability of hypo thesisIn the case of the natural science, it is benefited with the capacity to have or conduct controlled experiments on the object of study. In this type of experiment the diverse factors that may affect the object of study are limited and controlled, that is the reason why in the natural sciences verifiability of hypothesis is workable. In the case of the social sciences, these types of controlled experiments and tests are not possible for the reason that the object of study of the social sciences deals with the society and the day-to-day living of different people, which makes it improbable to conduct experiments as such. Clearly, in this resp ect, the natural sciences have a vantage point vis--vis the social sciences. However, this does not rent that the natural sciences are indeedsuperior to the social sciences.Exactness of findingsAccording to the article, the meaning of exactness scoop founded in intellectual history is the possibility of constructing theoretical systems of idealized models containing abstract constructs of variables and of relations between variables, from which well-nigh or all propositions concerning grouchy connections can be deduced. In this respect, the natural sciences are no different from the social sciences. This is for the reason that such systems cannot be found in several of the natural sciences in several aspects in biology for instancewhile it can be found in at least one of the social sciences economics. Given this fact, it cannot be asserted that the natural sciences are indeed superior to the social sciences regarding the factor at hand.Measurability of phenomenaThe point of the author in this particular portion of the article is that there is no way of judging whether non-quantifiable factors are to a greater extent prevalent in nature or society. In this light, there can be no aspect of superiority or inferiority regarding this matter between the natural and the social sciences.Constancy of numerical relationshipsRegarding this matter, there is without a doubt that the natural sciences are in advantage if compared to the social sciences. This is due to the fact that in the natural sciences, there exist such a constant law and figures that can never be changed or alter in any manner. On the contrary, in the case of the social sciences there are no such constant laws or figures to attendant and supplement the body of knowledge in its endeavor. This is for the reason that in the real social world zero is constant but change, and it is due to this nature of the social world that constancy is removed from being achieved.Predictability of future eventsThe c ommon notion regarding the predictive power of the natural science is true, given the fact that it does not soak different factors that can alter the prediction. In other words, due to the controlled experiments of the natural scientist, prediction is not far from being reached. However, in the case of the social sciences, wherein the object of study is the society, predictability is hard to find.According to the author of this particular article, the only difference between the two sciences in this respect is that experts in the natural sciences usually do not try to do what they know that they cannot do and nobody expects them to do it. Social scientists, on the other hand, for some strange reasons are expected to foretell the future and they feel bad if they fail to do so.Distance from everyday experienceScience is viewed by many as anything that cannot be comprehended by a layman or an ordinary person. The object of study of the natural sciences are somehow not attuned and far from the day-to-day experiences and living of the ordinary people. While the object of study of the social sciences are straightaway affects the fervor of the masses. This is the reason that the social sciences are more close to the hearts of men. However, this does not say anything regarding the examination at hand.Standards of Admission and requirementsAccording to some study the IQ level of the students of physics are more advance than those students in other courses. In this basis where the foundation of the natural sciences claims that there proponents are more intelligent than those of the social sciences. However, as stipulated by the author of the said article, this does not assert anything in upgrade or against both the social and the natural sciences for the reason that thisfactors depends entirely on the school or the academia that are offering such courses. It is a given fact that the natural science students are more advance in terms of their IQ level for the reaso n that they are more adept in calculus than any other students. Nonetheless this does not entail that the natural sciences are superior to the social sciences.The Score CardTaking a closer look at the point by point comparison made by the author between the factors that may be able to point out the difference between the two bodies of knowledge, we may ascertain that there are at least ternary definitive advantage of the natural sciences with regards to the social sciences, namely invariability of observations, verifiability of hypothesis, and constancy of numerical relationships. However, the way the author of this paper sees it, these advantages are mere benefits that the natural sciences enjoys and these vantage point does not entail that the natural sciences are superior to the social sciences in any manner. On the second thought, the author of this paper thinks that there is no point of comparison between the two sciences at hand. This is because of the reason that the one is not an alternative of the other. The social sciences are not an alternative of the natural sciences, wherein we can choose one over the other.Instead, the two bodies of knowledge go hand in hand to make the complex world that we are living in comprehendible to the society. Without one of these sciences an individual person may find himself amidst a cloud of confusion and bewilderment. The factors presented in the paper do not imply that we ought not to study social sciences because of its inferiority to the natural sciences. The vantage point of the natural sciences is but a benefit that can be enjoyed by this particular body of knowledge. To sum things up, the so-called inferiority of the social sciences to the natural sciences is but a phantom that the society in general integrates to the former, viewing the later as indeed superior.EpilogueIn chapter one of the set of articles that we were asked to read, the thesisquestion presented is that is the social science really inferior t o the natural science?. On the course of our discussions and show of facts, we come to the conclusion and understanding that the natural sciences indeed has some advantage to enjoy and maximize if compared to the social sciences. However, as pointed out in the paper at hand, these vantage points does not entail that the natural sciences are superior to the social sciences in any manner. This is for the reason, as stipulated earlier the one is not an alternative or a substitute of the other. This is for the same reason that, as the author of this paper views it, there is no point of comparison between the two bodies of knowledge at hand.Indeed, there are several advantages when it comes to the nature and mental synthesis of the natural sciences if compared to the social sciences. However, these advantages should not be viewed in lieu of the superiority/inferiority debate kinda it should serve as a challenge on the part of the social sciences to maximize and make the most(prenomin al) out of the available resources of the social sciences to be able for it to comply and be attuned with the needs of the social reality.

Changing Views on Homosexuality
If you live in a metropolitan city like Atlanta, as I do, you may notice that the gay floriculture is mixed in with the rest of the multi-cultural happenings of the city. Having a large gay conjunction is just another funny feature to Atlanta, GA. Although other cities may not pass as large a grouping, the gay community is growing across the states. Men and women ar feeling more open to express their butch life style and this is in part due to the changing views of sexual conduct and gayness. Homosexual behavior is defined as sexual behavior with a member of ones own sex (Sarason & Sarason, 2005).Prior to the 1970s, quirkiness was considered to be a diagnosable psychiatric disorder and was listed in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). gayness was viewed almost as a disease that people needed to be cured of. Research revealed that homosexual men and women did not differ in psychological adjustment from heterosexual men and women (Sarason & Saraso n, 2005). There has been the postulate of whether a individual is born gay or if homosexuality is a learned behavior.In my opinion, I believe that a person is born gay and does not chose or learn this sexual behavior from others. Ive witnessed a relative grow up and noticed behavior as child that suggested he may be gay. As an adult, he informed the family that he is in fact gay. This came as a shock to no one and when asked when he knew he was gay, he stated that he knew all along. It is judgement that if people no longer viewed homosexuality as a behavior that people chose to partake in, that slight emphasis would be placed on trying to cure homosexuality.Dr. Glenn Wilson and Dr. Qazi Rahman, authors of the book Born Gay, state that thither is no single gay gene, but genes do contribute and consider the effect of sex hormones to which fetuses are exposed in the womb (Ahuja, 2005). Wilson and Rahman feel that sexual orientation is fixed at birth and that whatsoever evidence-ba sed scientist would agree (Ahuja, 2005). With more people consciousness that sexual orientation is innate rather than learned, viewpoints on homosexuality are shifting.Our society is slowly becoming more accepting and placing less of a stigma on homosexual behavior. In the past at that place were no arights for gays wanting to marry, but now gays in mama can legally marry. In Vermont and other parts of the world, gay men and women now have the right to enter into legal partnerships that give them some of the same protections and responsibilities of marriage (Sarason & Sarason, 2005). Past opinion polls have resulted in some Americans saying that gays cannot be considered good role models for children (Sarason & Sarason, 2005).Some people have conception that a childs sexual orientation could be affected if the child had gay or lesbian parents. Research on child adjustment in homosexual abodes provided results that did not differ from children raised by heterosexual parents (S arason & Sarason, 2005). Dr. Ellen C. Perrin feels that children raised by gay or lesbian couples do just as well as children raised as by heterosexual couples. In some ways children of same-sex parents genuinely may have advantages over other family structures, says Perrin (Chang, 2005).Studies conducted on homosexual couples show that lesbian couples share household responsibilities equally and that children adjust better when there is an equal division of labor (Chang, 2005). Raising healthy, well-adjusted children and understanding that homosexuality is an innate behavior are just two examples of why attitudes towards homosexuality are changing. Although there is still room for improvement in terms of accepting gay culture, strides are being make compared to earlier attitudes. To me the most significant change is understanding that homosexuality is not a disorder, it represents a persons sexual orientation.Referenceshttp//www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20051012/study-same-sex -parents-raise-well-adjusted-kids

Management information system case study Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words
Management education system - Case Study ExampleThe system developed by Kronos is induced with latest technology that takes into account several factors such as sales in undivided Wal-Mart stores, customer traffic during peak hours, number of units sold, average time taken to sell a boob tube as well as average time taken to unburden a truck bounteous of shipment. All this information is logged onto the system with an increment of 15 minutes and the data is then measured against the information logged in the previous year. This allows the system to anticipate the requirement of workers at a particular time and thenceforth a flexible schedule is prepared. However, this new system has met with severe criticism from employees as many of them slang expressed their concern about the decreasing stability of their jobs which in turn may create pecuniary adversity for them. In light of these facts, what follows is a case study regarding the ethical dilemmas facing the company and its employees as well as the consequences of implementing this system.The flexible scheduling system developed by Kronos may lead to capricious scheduling of work hours which may jeopardize the work life as well as individual(prenominal) life of employees. The system may entail an employee to be present on call during rush hours or may also require an employee to be present during the night shift in the 24 hours Wal-Mart handout in spite of the employees inconvenience.
