Medical Marijuana has long been at the center of much controversy. This drug is made up of a greenish gray mixture and is full of a powerful substance called tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. The United States government views marijuana as an illegal substance within its borders. This federal law seems simple, but a curveball has been thrown the government’s way: medical marijuana. Medical Marijuana is said to reduce chronic pain from a lot of causes such as cancer and severe spasms. It’s even said

Public lands in the United States provide natural amenities and recreational opportunities for tourists and migrants, and they also provide environmental benefits through the protection of wildlife and their habitats (Lewis et al., 2003; Cline et al., 2011). Most public lands have traditionally been managed for commodity outputs, such as timber, minerals, or livestock forage. However, with rising concern over environmental issues, policies to protect public lands have increased in the United States

They hold the girls-only camp responsible for higher retention rates (L.F. 33), bolstered confidence among female students (L.F. 32), and the continued success of its attendees after college (L.F. 25). However, there is once again no empirical evidence confirming this claim. For instance, Vera Ruben, the founder of the camp, says that women who attend the camp “seem to have more confidence than my other female students.” She goes on to say that, she “thinks” this is due solely to Forensic

ETHICAL NEUTRALITY In what follows, when we use the term “evaluation” we will mean, where nothing else is implied or expressly stated, practical value-judgments as to the unsatisfactory or satisfactory character of phenomena subject to our influence. The problem involved in the “freedom” of a given discipline from evaluations of this kind, i.e., the validity and the meaning of this logical principle, is by no means identical with the question which is to be discussed shortly, namely, whether in

resources arena where the immediate impact of employee actions is less obvious. Therefor it would be a major breakthrough if one would be able to identify those factors that predict success. Billy Bean in Moneyball, after identifying the right empirical data and then training (and convincing) his people of the new approach needs to build organizational capability in using and implementing his new system. In the same way, if a company comes up with a new way of determining what will lead to success

Section three comments the limitations of empirical findings and CSR. 2. Impacts on Financial Performance 2.1 Cost Companies committed to CSR are expected to reduce operating costs. One of the key areas in CSR practices is paying attention to environmental issues such as energy saving and avoidance

In this essay, I will present an argument against theories that propose that corruption may be beneficial to economic growth by presenting theoretical and empirical evidence that suggest otherwise. I will also discuss policies that will prove effective in eliminating corruption in developing countries. The international handbook on the economics of corruption defines corruption as the use of public resources to fund the private purposes. It usually involves the abuse of official power. Economic

Assignment 2: Individual Research Paper on an International Environment Agreement United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification: Empowering Local Populations to the expense of concrete results Introduction The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) was adopted in 1994 as a product of the Rio Conference which took place in 1992. It attempts to combat desertification which is defined as “land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various

Scientia, the Latin noun meaning “to know” is the etymological root of the modern English word science (Merriam-Webster, 2016). It is perhaps fitting that many of the greatest minds of our time consider science to be the ultimate source of truth, knowledge, and understanding. Famed chemist, professor, and author Peter Atkins (1995) believes “science is the best procedure yet discovered for exposing fundamental truths about the world” (Atkins, 1995, p. 97). This paper will challenge that assertion

Independent variables included competition among PMCs and resource compensation. Control variables included ethnic fractionalization, mountainous terrain, proportion of forces, gross domestic product, and levels of governmental and rebel support. The empirical research concluded two findings. If only a single PMC is hired, it is more likely to underperform and prolong civil war and if multiple PMCs intervene in an ongoing civil war it is more likely to be terminated.4 For example, if six PMCs intervene
