Write 11 page essay on the topic Changing trends in employment.

The increased flexibilization process and deregulation of the labour market from both high and low income countries have, over the years, presented new challenges, especially with the intensification of the market competition in search for decreased production costs. The liberalization of the trade schemes plays a key role in reinforcing the competitive pressures of the global markets. As a result, such developments result in profound changes in technological, production, innovation, employment conditions, and the structures of firms (Alvesson 2001, p. 863).

By 1980s, the economic restructuring was enhanced through the decentralization of the production. The institutional changes at the micro level ranged from outsourcing and downsizing to changes in the skill requirement, transformations and work organizations towards the workforce composition. The liberalization of trade has also played a key role in changing the requirements in skills and employment due to the dynamics and the relative wages (Scarborough 1999, p. 8). This shifts the labour intensive production processes to the low-wage countries. These transformations impact differently to both men and women, and the variation is dependent on several factors. The feminization of the labour force continues at both domestic and international levels. This has led to increased participation of women labour force as well as deterioration of the working conditions in jobs previously dominated by males (Balakrishnan & Huang 2000, p. 43-7).

Changes in employment have profoundly affected the productive processes and have transformed modes and functions for most firms. This has, in turn, affected the labour relations and employment conditions. The structures in labour markets have been reorganized and destabilized. The changing production landscape at micro-level has increased job opportunities as well as generation of new employment positions. The changes in the micro level of

Hi, need to submit a 2000 words paper on the topic Comparing Cesare Lombroso and Edwin Sutherland and Their Competing Ideologies. Lombroso was a prominent Italian criminologist towards the end of the 19th Century in the arena of pathologically determined deviance. Lombroso’s emphasis on the scientific method and his revolutionary approach earned him the title “father” of scientific criminology. Lombroso’s prominent works include The Criminal Man (1876) and Crime, Its Causes and Remedies (1899). Lombroso idea’s contradicted the prevailing notion that crime was part of society, and thus should be accepted as an intrinsic factor of social conditions (Carrabine 2009, p.58). Lombroso rejected classical School assertions that crime was a typical trait of human nature and that rational choices formed the bedrock of behavior.

Lombroso attempted to discern a probable relationship between criminal psychopathology and physical or constitutional defects. The principal contention revolved around the presence of a hereditary or atavistic division of criminals comprising of biological throwbacks to the primitive stages of human evolution (Lily, Cullen and Ball 2011, p.15). Lombroso rejected the notion of free will and equality in which individuals were purported to exercise rational choices to engage in crime as advocated by classists. Lombroso advocated the assumption of determinism.

Lombroso applied scientific approaches and concepts derived from physiognomy, social Darwinism, early eugenics, and psychiatry. The approaches stipulated that criminality was inherited and “born criminal” could be apparent by physical defects, which validated criminals as “savage.” Although, the stipulated physical characteristics identifying criminals is no longer considered valid. nevertheless, the notion that definite factors incline certain individuals to commit crime continues to be the underpinning of criminology (Hayward, Maruna and Mooney 2010, p.25). Lombroso groundbreaking work, The Criminal Man (1876), alleged that criminals possessed a distinct physical characteristic that set them apart from noncriminals.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on The Impact of War in the Novels by George Orwell and Sylvia Plath. It needs to be at least 1750 words.

This is identified not only by the understanding and expressions of the individual artists. Instead, it shows a specific response related to the current political and cultural context during this time, as well as the philosophies represented by the authors. The specific context of war and brutality outline the responses and expressions as a voice of society during this time.

The external environment in the 20th century was surrounded by war and brutality. The political realm was the first area which showed this. World War I, the Holocaust, The Russian Revolution, World War II, Communism in Russia and the movement into the Cold War were the large-scale political battles which took place. For those connected to these communities were ideals and outcomes which were consistently seen, showing the brutalities and fierceness of the war and the political relationship which was a part of this. With this setting, were also social and artistic responses which were created, specifically with the need to create a remembrance of the brutality of the war. Expressing what had happened, how it had occurred and the questioning of what had happened to culture and society as a result of the several shell shocks became the main components. Personal interactions, as well as overall philosophies, were the main conflicts which began to arise socially and in terms of cultural recognition (Winter, 52).

The identity of politics and expressions of society can be seen through George Orwell and the content of “1984.” Orwell was well – known among other intellects in society to his opposition of specific political ideals, directly related to the rise of Stalin and Communism in Russia as well as his strong opposition to the Communist Party. Orwell had seen the difficulties of World War II and the brutalities which were associated with this. However, the concern which was a part of Orwell’s philosophies was based on the outcome of war and brutality and how this would affect different societies and individuals.&nbsp.

1. Researchers are interested in determining whether more women than men prefer the beach to the mountains. In a random sample of 200 women, 45% prefer the beach, whereas in a random sample of 300 men, 52% prefer the beach. What is the 99% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the percentages of women and men who prefer the beach over the mountains?

a.  − 0.07 ± 0.1172

b. − 0.07 ± 0.0557

c. − 0.07 ± 0.0053

d. 0.07 ± 0.01172

e. 0.07 ± 0.0053

2. A researcher wants to test the claim that the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly is not the same. He finds that 42 of 65 randomly selected men and 34 of 52 randomly selected women report exercising regularly. A 90% confidence interval for the difference in population proportions is (−0.154, 0.138). Which of the statements gives the correct outcome of the researcher’s test of the claim?

a.     Because the confidence interval includes zero, the researcher can conclude the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly is the same. 

b.    Because the confidence interval includes zero, the researcher can conclude the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly may be the same. 

c.     Because the confidence interval includes zero, the researcher can conclude the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly is different. 

d.    Because the confidence interval includes more positive than negative values, the researcher can conclude that a greater proportion of men than women exercise regularly. 

e.     The researcher cannot draw a conclusion about a claim without performing a significance test.

3. A children’s cancer research fund has been set up to collect donations for the treatment and research of the disease. A random sample of 600 people shows that 47% of the 300 who were contacted by telephone actually made contributions, compared with only 34% of the 300 who received email requests. Which of the formulas calculates the 98% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of people who make donations when contacted by telephone versus those contacted by email?

a.    

b.   

c.    

d.

4. A researcher wants to determine whether there is a relationship between age and frequency of travel. In a random sample of 18- to 25-year-olds, 70 of 195 traveled more than twice each year. In a random sample of 55- to 62-year-olds, 205 of 230 traveled more than twice each year.

c.     0.0931 

d.    0.0400
