Abstract
The paper discusses current events in the light of microeconomic principles. United States is facing a slow down in the economy which is leading to reduction in consumer spending and is also negatively affecting borrowing and investment in the country. Applying microeconomics concepts, we notice that demand for money is quite inelastic these days, as reduction in fund rates is not producing desirable results.
From the Paper
"To understand what is happening to our economy from a microeconomics perspective, we must first take into account some of the current events in order to get a clearer picture of the economic situation. The economy was already facing a recession-like situation when it was given the rudest shock of the century on September 11th. The country?s economy since then has been sliding downwards because the government has been unable to generate enough consumer spending despite several announcements of tax cuts which are aimed at giving people more purchasing power and several reductions in the federal fund rates. We need to analyze the current events from microeconomics perspective as this would give us clear understanding of the compelling issues our economy is encountering today. "

Abstract
The principles of microeconomics are not just important to economists and scholars, the principles apply to many aspects of society that impact everyone. Microeconomics considers how goods are produced, how people create their income and how people make decisions to spend that income. In short, microeconomics refers to aspects of life that people encounter every day. With this relevance of microeconomics to everyday life, it is not surprising that principles of economics can be found in many places, including in the lyrics of songs. To illustrate how the principles of microeconomics are referred to in a song, Garth Brooks? "We Shall Be Free" is used as an example. Considering the lyrics of this song, it is seen that various items are mentioned that relate to microeconomics. As well as describing these items, the analysis also extends to a brief discussion of why they are important to people.
From the Paper
"The lyrics of We Shall Be Free includes the following lines, ?And when money talks for the very last time / And nobody walks a step behind / ? / Then we shall be free.? This statement from the lyrics goes against the principles of the market economy and the concept of fairness in the market economy. ?When money talks for the very last time? refers to money not having power. The market economy of current society is based on money as power, since money is the means to obtaining necessary and desired goods and services. If money did not ?talk? in modern society, why would people work? It is fair to suggest that most people would not work if what they obtained from that work was worthless to them. If people did not work, companies would not be producing the goods that people buy with the money they work for. This illustrates that the lyrics suggest a different view of economics than what society is currently based on. The line ?And nobody walks a step behind? also suggests that everyone is equal. "

Abstract
The National Environment Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), jointly established by the White House and the United States Congress, outlines more than a dozen major laws that form the basis of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This paper begins by outlining some of the major laws enacted by the NEPA. The paper then presents a review of Mankiw N. Gregory's book, "The Principle of Microeconomics", in which the author presents a new style of comprehending the NEPA laws through subjects such as politics, science, and economics. The paper also includes several appendices that contain graphs.
From the Paper
"Within the principle discipline of economics is the newly developed subject of environmental economics that seeks to understand the relationship between the environment and the economy. It goes without saying that a healthy and sustainable economy is dependent on an equally healthy and sustainable environment, not withstanding the often-conflicting elements present within the business entities and concerns. To totally eliminate this conflicting atmosphere that tends to be a hurdle, and somewhat disturbs the approach towards the accomplishment of a healthy environment at the cost of the economy, numerous attempts to bring about a reconciliation to develop a so-called free market environmentalism are being pursued."

Principles of Policing, 2007.
This paper discusses Sir Robert Peel's nine principles of policing.
948 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 8 sources, MLA, AU$ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how Sir Robert Peel ushered in modern policing by establishing an ethical system for the police. The paper explains that while there have been significant changes in police work since Peel's time, his principles remain the foundation for modern police ethical systems. The paper identifies the nine principles, which include the primary function of police, public approval of police actions, the public in voluntary observance of the law and how physical force lessens public co-operation. The principles also discuss impartial service to the law, inappropriate use of physical force, how police are not separate from the public but part of the public, separation of the police and judiciary and finally, the test of police efficiency. The paper concludes that these principles continue to guide the actions of modern law enforcement agencies.
From the Paper
"Peel's first principle states: "the basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder." (New Westminster Police Service, 2006). The primary function of police today continues to be the prevention of crime. The successful resolution of unsolved crimes can aid in crime prevention, because most crimes are committed by recidivists. Therefore, the fact that modern police spend much of their time solving crimes does not detract from the fact that the basic mission of the police is crime prevention."

Principles of Learning, 2007.
A discussion on the significance of some relevant principles of learning.
1,531 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 7 sources, APA, AU$ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at four different principles of learning and their impact on the author. The four principles are that learners must be motivated to learn , what is learned should be reinforced, learning situations should take account of individual differences in learning capacities and style and that new learning should take into account learners' present knowledge and attitudes.
Outline:
Identify and Discuss the Significance of Relevant Principles of Learning
Analyse In Detail How Two Principles of Learning Affect the Planning of Your Teaching
Discuss the Impact These Insights Have Had on Your Own Teaching
From the Paper
"The main reason for choosing strategies such as presentations and group discussions is that they are an effective means of generating in depth discussions. This is an ideal way of taking into account learners' present knowledge and attitudes and using them as an effective teaching and learning resource. Oral strategies such as these signify validity, in that learners are encouraged to prepare and present findings in an environment similar to the workplace. Therefore, what is learned is capable of being successfully generalised from learning situation and related to personal experiences and issues. Such techniques also satisfy different learning needs and styles, being that some learners perform better in oral assessments than in written ones. "

Children's Perceptions Of Magical Events, 2005.
A study across multiple age groups on the perceptions of magical events.
2,305 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 2 sources, APA, AU$ 103.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that children use both natural and supernatural entities to account for events. Thus, children could view television programs and movies from a magical perspective and come out with a distorted perspective on how life actually functions. This paper presents research that attempts to validate past research that found that children use magic as a solution to improvable events. The authors of the study contend that 3- to 4-year-olds will use magic more frequently as a solution to a problem that looks unattainable in real-life. The authors also contend that 10- to 12-year-olds will attribute a seemingly impossible event to tricks instead of magic. As age increases, children will use magic less and less as a solution for deceptive events.

Discussion
From the Paper
"The participants involved in our study also were a limitation because they were all volunteers. Participants in this study all chose to participate; therefore they might have had some similar characteristics. The participants that came to the study might have wanted their kids to be involved in research and/or had a higher level of education then those who chose not to participate. The experiment may have left out a specific religious faith because some of the people who chose not to participate did do because they thought magic was evil. This detail also makes our results less generalizable to the public."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The vision statement of an organization presents inspiring words developed by select leaders conveying the direction of the company. This statement defines the purpose through organizational values and employees expected behavior. These inspirational words are designed to enhance employees to attain a zenith in service and found a magnetic public trust. The vision statement manifests the positive reasons employees should work with the organization. "A vision statement for a new or small firm spells out goals at a high level and should coincide with the founder's goals for the business" (Ebben, 2005, p. 2). Within a healthcare establishment, the direction of the organization is to deliver high-quality health care service to each of the requesting recipients. Core ideology and envisioned future are components of a vision statement."

Abstract
This paper discusses change as an opportunity to learn and grow. The paper presents the writer's memories of two events that upset his well-ordered life and his resentment of these events that altered the course of his life. The two events explored in the paper are the death of an uncle that left a deep void in his life and the breakdown of an intimate relationship.
From the Paper
"Carl Jung once observed, ?We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.? (Words of Wisdom) The undeniable wisdom in Jung?s words is something that perhaps an adult, who is facing the disruption caused by the death of a loved one, can appreciate. I, however, was too young to even comprehend or accept that death is an inevitable part of life?s cycle. Therefore, my uncle?s death was a point of change and discontinuity, which resulted in a wide range of personal emotions that I had to learn to deal with. In fact, as I look back on that traumatic time, I am able to see exactly what Tennant and Pogson meant when they said, ?It is, thus, the unexpected life events, those that occur ?out of time? that are the potential crises.? (Smith, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Kobasa's article about individual and group differences regarding responses to stressful life events. The paper discusses the topic, specifically examined by Kobasa, that personality is a major mediating factor in the presence of physical illness following a series of stressful life events, and then explains how Kobasa's article is designed to discover which personality factors were most significant in determining how a person reacts to stressful events.
From the Paper
"Moreover, in accordance with current research, Kobasa defines stress as a life event that ?causes changes in, and demands readjustment of, an average person?s normal routine,? (2). Stressful events can be ?positive,? such as marriage, or ?negative,? such as death of a loved one. Kobasa divides her hypothesis is divided into three key components, which she phrases: a) ?Among persons under stress, those who have a greater sense of control over what occurs in their lives will remain healthier than those who feel powerless in the face of external forces,? (Kobasa 1979, p.3); b) ?Among persons under stress, those who feel committed to the various areas of their lives will remain healthier than those who are alienated,? (Kobasa 1979, p. 3-4); c) ?Among persons under stress, those who view change as a challenge will remain healthier than those who view it as a threat,? (Kobasa 1979, p.4)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of Heinrich events, and current theories of their origin.

Finally, it looks at the possible effects on global climate as the result of Heinrich events, using the Younger Dryas as the basis for discussion.
From the Paper
"Heinrich events were first discovered by Hartmut Heinrich of the German Hydrographic Institute of Hamburg, Germany in 1988. Heinrich extracted samples from northeastern Atlantic sediment cores, and analyzed the samples. He discovered that the number of lithic, or rock sediment, and planktonic foraminifera (zooplankton) shell formations fluctuated greatly in many of the core samples. Additionally, Heinrich noted that the components of the sediments seemed not to fluctuate gradually, but seemingly abruptly (Hackett, 1994)."

From the Paper
"All events in some way reflect the culture of the place in which they are held. However, some events are held primarily for their cultural significance. Carnivals, heritage festivals, food festivals, and independence celebrations are examples of these types of events. Annual carnival celebrations in Trinidad and Tobago and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are well known examples of huge cultural celebrations. The nation's beliefs and traditions of many cultures have come together and for a brief five days each year, the whole country forgets their differences to celebrate life. Carnival is such an important aspect of life in Trinidad that many schools believe that sponsoring a carnival band is a way to teach young people about their roots and culture. In this way, communities work together to develop stronger friendships and greater respect for the many cultures that make up Trinidad."

Jack Welch's Leadership Principles, 2007.
This paper exmaines Betsy Morris' article "The New Rules" that reviews and analyzes Jack Welch's leadership principles.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the article "The New Rules" where business analyst Betsy Morris seriously challenges the management principles and rules ascribed to Jack Welch. The paper discusses how his leadership style and principles have been the driving force of modern management. The paper explains how Morris suggests that current global, economic and political circumstances demand a rethinking of the fundamental assumptions of Welch's position on various issues and the establishment of new rules for today's managers.
From the Paper
"When he became CEO, Welch continued many of the traditions of previous CEO's. Oddly, this is rarely mentioned in the glowing published accounts of his career at General Electric. It is true that Welch established a no nonsense leadership style which earned him a reputation of being ruthless yet fair, but this is a common approach in the corporate world. It is also true that he was scornful of bureaucracy, rejected archaic business ways, and fired many managers who resisted applying his business rules and principles, but once again, many other corporate executives have scorned bureaucratic red tape, pursued innovation, and replaced managers who relied too much on traditional management methods."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that there are many principles and theories that guide coaching and program development.

Outline:
Introduction
Coaching Styles
Sport Psychology
Athlete Motivation
The Coach as Teacher
Coaching Efficacy and Program Development
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are three basic coaching styles that determine the manner in which a coach decides how to teach skills and strategies, how practices and competition methods are organized, how athletes are disciplined, and what roles are given to the players regarding the decision making process. A review of the literature indicates that coaches have a tendency to lean toward one of these three styles: authoritarian, cooperative, or casual. Although there is not one style that is better than the others, a coach must find a balance in the styles that will allow him to be firm when needed while letting the players have fun while at the same time allowing them to have a voice in their training and competition experiences. The weaknesses of each style are discussed in the literature, but there is not one supreme recommendation over the others. Instead, the goal of attaining a balance betweens styles is stressed. By finding a balance in a coaching style, trust is placed in the players, which helps boost their self esteem and motivation. In other words, to gain the most out of the players, coach must be control of himself as well as the players. A good coach will display elements of all thee styles."
