Together with procedural, retributive, and restorative justice, distributive justice forms one of the basic types of justice. It is “concerned with the fair allocation of resources among diverse members of a community” (Maiese, 2003). In this case, fair allocation implies the resources available for distribution, the responsibility of the society for equitable distribution of available resources, the procedure of this distribution and the resulting patterns (Maiese, 2003; Ascension Health, 2005).
For instance, in the realm of education, the application of distributive justice means that everyone should receive equal access to quality secondary and higher education as there is a fundamental human right to receive education. Continue reading →
In this research, we will analyze a decision making model that relates to successful team ventures. At the idea stage of a team venture, one of two processes is assumed to occur. An individual may get an inspiration for a new venture by recognizing a market’s unmet need (also known as an opportunity). This can be termed the “lead entrepreneur” approach, in which one person gets and processes information, often from members of his or her social network, as well as from personal experience at work, at school, or at home, or from the news media. Most other types of innovation also emerge from such an idea-generation phase (Kamm, 1997, p. 101). The primary decision to be made at this first stage is whether or not to act on this idea for a new venture.
As Scott notes (1991, p. 156), “Organizations do not spontaneously emerge but require the gathering and harnessing of . . . materials, energy, information, and personnel.” The next major set of decisions to be made, therefore, is where these resources will be sought. This is the first step in the implementation stage of a team venture. It addresses how individuals or groups decide to seek a partner or partners to help them supply resources. Continue reading →
What is leadership? Leadership is the ability to encourage and lead people who believe in you. A leader is a person who stays on the head of the particular group of individuals and makes important decisions for them. What is more, he is responsible for his people, whereas they provide him with the right to represent their collective opinion. The primary duty of every leader is to unite his group and help them reach their goal. As you see, it is complicated to be a good leader, and there are very few examples of the outstanding leaders, whose experience one wants to follow.
Mahatma Gandhi is one of the brightest examples of real leaders who managed to save the entire nation and show a new way of development to millions of people. Continue reading →
A healthy outside starts from the inside. In my opinion, this quotation is right whereas our health is a complex category. When one is healthy, it means that he is psychologically and physically healthy. If you are ill, you will never enjoy your life. The burden of your disease will always weigh upon your mind. Even if you are wealthy and successful, your money will not make you happy unless you become healthy. Thus, one can say that human psychological well-being depends on his physical health. I believe that this hypothesis is out-of-date. The actual truth is a bit different. Our physical health is often determined by the psychological wellbeing. Our entire body is controlled by brains and nerves. Therefore, the key factor is human psychics. If your brain is damaged, you will never be healthy. When you have problems with nerves, the specific functions of your body will be disturbed. Continue reading →
Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Have you noticed that the average temperature on Earth is increasing gradually? Fifteen of the sixteen warmest years have been detected since 2000. About 200 000 people die from the negative impact of global warming annually. It will not be a mistake to say that global warming is one of the most relevant problems of our time. It affects people, animals and plants. In addition, it causes harm to our economy inasmuch as the level of water increases flooding the supplies of fresh water, fields and crops. Enormous coastal areas will be flooded as well and millions of people will lose their home. This tragic scenario waits us if we do not take care about the solution of this noteworthy problem.

There is hardly a person in the world who has not read Robinson Crusoe. Everyone likes adventure stories about pirates and sailors who visit uninhabited exotic places. Robinson Crusoe is one of such books. The novel was written by Daniel Defoe in 1719. At that time, people enjoyed reading about the undiscovered islands and continents whereas there were still many white spots on the map of Earth. One can say that this novel was revolutionary, because it introduced realism into fiction. It is hard to define the genre of this book forasmuch it possesses many features, which emphasize its originality. The novel is written in different forms. Foremost, it is an epistolary novel, because Daniel Defoe wrote the text in the form of a diary. Secondly, the novel is confessional as the protagonist shares his emotions and impressions about his life on the uninhabited island. Finally, Robinson Crusoe is a didactic novel inasmuch as it contains many instructions and recipes. The protagonist describes how to do the peculiar things and how to cope with the specific challenges. In these details, we are able to notice the elements of realism. Continue reading →
A human being is a social creature. We live among other people, and we work and entertain together. One cannot survive without the slightest contacts with the human society. Apparently, everyone is a unique personality who has her interests and preferences. Very often we have to defend our point of view and dignity. No wonder, a human being is a conflictual creature. There are conflicts everywhere. One can mention corporate, domestic and other types of disputes. It is always hard to define the cause of a conflict and its chief accuser. When one lives in the society characterized by gender inequality, it is hard to observe the roots of conflicts objectively.
Everybody knows that gender inequality is a relevant problem in our society. When we speak about various European countries, we should say that the woman was a subordinate element of the human community.
There were numerous cases of forced marriages and executions because a woman resembled a witch. The dominant position of men was not disputed because they were physically stronger and more influential.
Moreover, centuries ago, it was difficult to survive without the protection of a man; therefore, the problem of gender inequality was usual. Continue reading →
We hear about bullying every day. It is a widespread problem in our society. Bullying occurs in education, in the workplace, and in some families. Physical and psychological abuse of a human being in her social group characterize it. Evidently, many people suffer from this problem, especially students. Some students decide to give up school. Sometimes, there are cases of suicide. It is essential to understand the most objective factors, which cause bullying at school or in the workplace. I am going to analyze this problem in detail to understand the cause of bullying and its effect on young people.

Page, Scott E. Diversity and Complexity. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011. Internet resource.
Scott approaches fine and performance arts from comparative perspective, which enables him to document on the 1400 CE art practices at a precise and authoritative manner. His first chapter is an insight of the diversity and complexity of the renaissance art prior to the medieval age. The author seeks to decipher abundant knowledge to the readers as he asserts the contributions of renowned artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Giorgione, and Bondonne. Further, Scott Page aligns his work to a clear platform when he evaluates the subject of measuring the intensity of diversity between fine and performance arts of the past. The author narrates on the process by which the early artists evolved their artworks, and the diversities born to such practices. On the third account, Page indicates on the existence of constraints within the art field and the variations shown by the systems used. Therefore, Page Scott succeeds to implement the course of fine and performance to the modern scholars. Continue reading →
