Write 6 pages with APA style on The Issues Surrounding Mixed-Race Children. Throughout the years, these mixed race children have been treated with ambiguity – not quite discriminated against like their minority counterparts and not quite accepted among the majority population. Their behavior also straddles these two extremes. consequently, their peer acceptance is not quite improved on either side of the fence. And now with the election of a mixed-race president, it is a possible opening into more acceptable standards of recognition of these children. There are various implications that can now be drawn for and about the future of mixed race children. These implications shall be drawn from various discussions of experts and socio-cultural theorists and analysts. Future implications would mostly focus on sociological aspects and discussions.

In an article by Khan (2007), he mentions that the present acceptance and prevalence of mixed race relations and children are the most visible signs of racial harmony. In a way, this is a truce between and among the different races of the world. There is now a greater acceptance of mixed race children and the possibility of improved relations among the different races that exist around the globe. It is important to note, however, that this acceptance was started in the 2001 census which featured boxes for mixed race children. Where before, the boxes broadly covered general categories, now, more specific descriptions and classifications are available for these mixed race children (Khan, 2007). This implies that mixed children are now slowly but surely being identified as they are – not as whites, or as blacks, or even as Asians, but as mixed race children. In a big way, these children would now have the chance to be themselves and to be accorded the same rights and privileges and even responsibilities that their pure-breed counterparts enjoy.

Write a 6 pages paper on the nature of a political leader. When Machiavelli talks about a common man and his nature, he contents that men possess good and bad qualities and traits, some of which are inherent in human nature. The majority is content, happy, and trustworthy in prosperous times. However, when circumstances change, the bad qualities and traits prevail and most men quickly turn selfish, deceitful, and self-interested. Therefore, Machiavelli, repeatedly calls humans fickle creatures. He, almost ironically, notices how most people admire honor, generosity, courage, and piety without ever displaying those virtues themselves. Since most men are weak and lacking the virtue of the good citizen, they need a new leader, a heroic one, who will infuse his own virtue into all the citizens. “Thus, the miserable creatures that human beings ordinarily are or become when not properly guided, are thereby transformed into patriotic citizens, capable of sacrifice, self-exertion, and other patriotic values” (Prince, 1513). It is interesting to notice how Machiavelli, not only in the Prince, gives importance to outside factors influencing human nature. In the Prince, he asserts that men tend to be satisfied with the status quo as long as they are not victims of something terrible. Very few men express real ambition. In his other famous work,&nbsp.Discourses on Livy (1517), Machiavelli writes: “Men never do good unless necessity drives them to it. but when they are free to choose and can do just as they please, confusion and disorder become rampant” (Discourses, Book 1, chapter 3, 1517). Also, in his Florentine Histories,&nbsp.through the eyes of an anonymous citizen, Machiavelli describes the state of the city of Florence at the time: “The young are lazy, the old lascivious. both sexes at every age are full of foul&nbsp.customs, for which good laws because they are spoiled by wicked us, are no remedy. From this grows the avarice that is seen in our citizens and the appetite, not for true glory, but for the contemptible honors in which hatreds, enmities, differences and sects depend. and from these arise deaths, exiles, persecution of the good, exaltation of the wicked” (Florentine Histories 1525).

Compose a 2000 words assignment on is it right to take your own life. Needs to be plagiarism free! Sad isn’t it. Yet the dilemma of the situation is that people can still make it a debatable point. They can provide you with a long list of reasons which will justify his desperate action. We have come to that level of insensitivity that today I am required to pen down an assignment that questions the righteousness of the action of committing suicide. Under no circumstances will I call the action of killing oneself correctly.

The unfortunate state is that we have been so much infused with the words our rights that we think we can also interfere in God’s decisions. I know sometimes the situation gets out of hand. Like the above-mentioned boy, there are people, who get stuck in such a manner that no outlet could be found. We go so deep into the ocean of disappointments that no light reaches us. Still, I do not believe that the light has disappeared altogether. It is just the fact that we are not facing it. Let’s first analyze the motives which instigate a person to take this extreme measure.

Depression is the root cause that pushes people so hard against the wall that the only escape seems to be suicide. And this just proves that people act so desperately when they are not totally fit. Nine out of 10 people who commit suicide have a diagnosable mental illness and up to three out of four individuals who take their own life had a physical illness when they committed suicide (Dryden-Edwards). The way we perceive society usually depends upon the health of our brain. The state, where we have convinced ourselves about the cruel nature of the world, can only occur if a person has some psychological illness. And as we do not hold a psychologically upset patient responsible for his actions we can’t allow him to take his own valuable life. Studies have shown that the majority of the people who take their lives are mentally sick and so their actions cannot be justified under any circumstances.&nbsp.

Write 7 pages with APA style on 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. I have heard the 1906 San Francisco earthquake variously described as The Great Quake and Fire, The Great Shake, and The Great San Francisco Earthquake- whatever the names might be, the fact remains that the worst-ever natural disaster to hit a segment of the human population on that fateful day of April 18th is forever etched in our memories whether through hearsay or the media or books or pictures. Nothing said or done can lessen that horrific sequence of events which unfolded that morning when people were literally caught ‘napping’ in the wee hours of the morning at around 5.13 A. M. Those who felt the foreshock would have had no idea that devastating tremors would follow immediately and hundreds of lives would be lost, thousands would be rendered homeless and the whole city would be caught up in massive fires due to broken gas lines and stoves. No help would be forthcoming initially because the water mains would also be broken and the whole city would be in a state of siege. Scientists may place the magnitude of the earthquake at 7.7 to 7.9 on the Richter scale or even higher at 8.3 according to the analysis made by more advanced equipment available now but eventual analyses become inconsequential in the wake of the destruction of such ferocity. (Wald, Hiroo, Helmberger, and Heaton) More than half of San Francisco’s population was left without a home by the earthquake and the fires that followed and 28000 buildings had been destroyed and approximately3000 people died.&nbsp. In the aftermath of the horror, massive planning and reconstruction took place and the people of San Francisco slowly picked up the shattered pieces of their lives and set about returning to normal. (“Timeline of the San Francisco Earthquake”)

In cold facts, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake took place on the 18th of April, 1906 at around 5.13 A.M jolting people out of their morning slumber and immediately after the foreshock at that time, the quake hit with devastating ferocity within 20-30 seconds at around 5.15 A.M. Before people could realize what was happening, huge buildings were crashing down like a pack of cards, people were being crushed underneath the falling debris, the asphalt on the roads was buckling and piling up and gas lines and water mains had burst open. Raging fires engulfed the city and people were helpless in the face of nature’s fury. I have read that the epicenter was near the city and for this reason, the entire city was rocked by tremors. Though the quake lasted for only about 40 to 60 seconds, it destroyed the city beyond recognition besides taking an unlimited toll on its people. The first natural disaster to be recorded by photography the pictures bring alive the horrors of that terrible day.

Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Structured Query Language: History, and Usage. SQL is used in varied environments of client-server programming, web programming, and host-based database programming.

Knowledge about databases is a prerequisite to understanding SQL. The Webster’s Dictionary defines a database as ‘a usually large collection of data organized especially for rapid search and retrieval.’ Taken as such, a database could even not be associated with computers and simply be paper-based in the form of organized data on paper.

Databases are however closely associated with computers because computers represent the simplest, fastest, and most efficient way to store, manage, retrieve, and update data. Computer-based databases, which are the databases referred to in this paper, can range from the older Legacy mainframes often with the Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM), dBase, and other file-based databases, the Relational DataBase Management Systems (RDBMS) and the recent XML and Object-oriented databases.

There have essentially been three types of database models – Hierarchical Databases, Network Databases, and Relational Databases. In the hierarchical model, the data is structured in what is known as a parent-child relationship. In this model, the basic logic hinges on the assumption that a child element can have only one parent, while a parent can have many children. This relationship in a database design is termed the ‘one-to-many’ relationship as opposed to the elementary ‘one-to-one’ where a single element can be linked only to another single element. The hierarchical model is nagged by the problem of data redundancy. The Network model was developed to eliminate this problem of redundancy. It represents data using set theory instead of a hierarchy. In this structure, a child element has more than one parent resulting in a child having many parents and a parent having many children in what is termed as the ‘many-to-many’ relationship. Both the hierarchical and network models had limitations. Their indexing systems are linked to the hard disk sectors in which the data resides. Moving the data across sectors leads to problems. Moreover, querying data from multiple tables requires sophisticated programming that uses proprietary languages.
