There is great influence of the imported food on the food security of the individual countries. In Canada for example, there are numerous cases of cuisine’s from Australia and China. On a general scale, these foods are becoming popular among the residents of Canada. The end results are dire to the economy of Canada. These foodstuffs are going to overrun the foods produced locally and the local production might collapse (Aboriginal Food Security in Northern Canada, 12-17). This will lead to food insecurity in Canada hence need to be tackled head on. Different factors have encouraged the penetration of these imports into the Canadian market. Some of the factors have…

Recently there has been a surge of the software applications that exist to users in regards to healthcare. The increase in these applications has been dramatically contributed by the health awareness campaigns that have been taking places all around the world mainly due to lifestyle diseases. One of the apps that I would propose would be software for pediatric services that should be inclusive of a BOT for quick self-service needs and also stand-by pediatricians on the other end. This would help nursing mothers who might get issues with their kids for particular reasons that could be solved without the need of getting to the hospital. The application should be…

Film versions are essential in analyzing the work of Mary Shelley, Frankenstein. These adaptations reveal new insights into the complexity of juxtaposing literary devices and cinematic techniques to relay the intended message. In this case, the films Frankenstein (1931) by James Whale and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) by Kenneth Branagh will be reviewed. Often, films communicate to the eyes, and what characters say sporadically supersedes the effect of what the audience sees. Examining various adaptations of the narrative will reveal whether movies are mere travesties or vulgarizations of the original. Film versions of Frankenstein are thematic by addressing various topics in popular culture; however, they are abridged due to narrating…

Companies participate in corporate social responsibility because such actions – which are neither mandated by law or part of the companies’ principal, profit-oriented transactions – bestow benefits on the communities in which the said companies operate. For instance, a manufacturing company that decides to construct a road between its facilities and the neighboring community to enhance local commerce is not engaging in CSR if a statute exists that requires the company to make certain that the local community benefits from its operations. While some people enthusiastically praise the admirable excellence of CSR, others are extremely cynical of the practice. This raises the important question regarding whether CSR is ethical. This…

Calculating the Amount Smith Need to Save for Sara Sara is 13 years old today, she will be 17 or 18 years old by time she joins college. The concept of sinking fund will be applied to arrive at the annual contribution required (Francis, 2008). Scenario 1: When she joins college at 17 Smith will have four years to make payments, assuming that the payments are made annually and in advance. A discounting rate of 8.5 percent will be applied and four equal payments made Number of years = 4 Interest rate =8.5 percent Given the future value of total payments at 36,021, the computation below is employed to arrive…

Chris shook with fear every morning when her mother knocked on the door for his to wake up, and prepare for school. He knew well that he was stepping out into the world that was unbearable for him. As the mother’s knock became louder, Chris sprung out of bed and murmured, “Mum, I’m up, heading to the shower right away mum”. His mum remarked, “You should have showered already”. Chris stood on the bathroom shortly before he opened the shower knob and let the water flow. He wished her parents could relocate to another town or move him from the school he was attending. Thoughts of shame, loneliness, and to…

Summary Smoking has always been a major problem worldwide. I recently listened to a talk hosted in TEDx University of Piraeus by Nasia Davos entitled My TED Talk on Addiction: How to Quit Smoking for Good. The fact sheet by the Smoking Cessation Formula states that Davos is an ex-smoker and a smoking cessation practitioner with an MA in Psychoanalysis. She is a public speaker who has helped thousands of smokers quit. Davos talks about her friend, Melissa, a single mother of two children, who had been smoking for 36 years and was not able to quit despite having developed lung cancer which could possibly lead to premature death. During…

International relations is an exciting and important field especially in the modern world that we live in. Information technology has led to drastic progress in global connectivity as people from different parts of the world can communicate freely. Nevertheless, relations and cooperation between countries has remained strained, a situation reminiscent of post-World War II and Cold War tensions. Countries that have differing political ideologies and economic systems exhibit poor diplomatic relations, which often culminates in trade wars, sanctions, or even armed conflicts. Some of the countries that demonstrate hostile relations include the United States and Cuba, Israel and Palestine, India and Pakistan, and North and South Korea. I study International…

People of goodwill will always seek to help others when they are in distress or need. This is part of the golden rule for humanity. The bystander effect happens when individuals deliberately choose to avoid offering help. However, most people offer their help because they believe that they, too, will need help someday. This is how the bystander effect relates to altruism, as it directly opposes selflessness or philanthropy (Fischer et al., 2011). Sometimes, people may encounter a situation in which they can act to prevent harm but choose to walk away and ignore the individual in need. The term “bystander effect” first appeared in the aftermath of Kitty Genovese…

Argumentative essays should acknowledge both pro and con arguments, but emphasize your point of view first of all. It means you have to choose a side and prove it. Perhaps it is difficult to find another plant around which there would be as much discussion as around cannabis and weed. From the stem of this plant, it is possible to make fibers, from the leaves and the flower by distillation – the essential oil, and from the dried leaves and the dried flower – drugs, namely – marijuana and hashish.
