Rent Control: Pros And Cons
.... that the goals of rent control can be reached if they are
administered in a careful and just way.
The opponents, though, have both theoretical and practical experience on their
side. First, rent control creates a market that is unfair for everyone. Since
the rent is set at a lower than normal level, an unsatisfied demand is created.
This increase in demand leads to an increase in the cost of rents in the
uncontrolled sector. Thus, two types of rents are created: those that are
unfairly cheap, and those th .....

Symbolic Analysts

trends in job quality. The number of mundane, manufacturing jobs will decrease
as well as the number of in-person service jobs e.g. bank tellers, but growth in
the number of symbolic analytical positions.
The loss of repetitive manufacturing is primarily a cost saving plan of
American corporations. Corporations seeking to lower their costs of labor move
their large, low-skilled manufacturing to points all over the globe in attempt
to find the lowest wages. Replacement of some in-p .....

The Problem: Terrorism In The World
.... helicopters which held the Israeli athletes, killing the whole team. This
was one of the many cruel types of terrorism. In recent years, terrorism seems
to be at a new high and attacks are more violent than in the past.
With terrorism being so secretive and having no forewarning, it has been
a real problem to deal with. The governments of many countries have tried to
stop these cowardly acts, but they just seem to be on the rise. I have a few
ideas that might work
Solution:
Since there ar .....

The Increasing Application Of Scientific Management Principles Of Work Organisations To Services Is, Despite Its Limitations, Inevitable And

believed that in order to discourage, and indeed halt, this ‘soldiering' a ‘
mental revolution' was required. He believed this could be achieved via four
vital principles: (1) the development of the best work method, via systematic
observation, measurement and analysis; (2) the scientific selection and
development of workers; (3) the relating and bringing together of the best work
method and the developed and trained worker; (4) the co-operation of managers
and non-managers which includ .....

The Question Of Equality
.... Marxist-Jacobinist approach has a ringing appeal. With the term
proletariat, one simply substitutes the poor. By "expropriating the
expropriators," or eradicating the rich, equality is achieved with one bold
stroke.
The trouble with this formulation, however, is that the dictator-
proletariat is itself dictated upon by an all-powerful Party, while even among
the poor there is a hierarchy of classes, beginning with the "advanced"
proletariat, followed by the peasantry, the intellectuals and the petite .....

Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right?
.... Upon reading George Orwell's "A
Hanging," the reader can obviously see that the writer is against capital
punishment. Orwell brings out many of the points that are considered for
argument against the death penalty. Orwell writes "It is curious; but till that
moment I had never realized what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man.
When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the
unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. This
man was .....

Definition Of "Power"
.... team. Athletics is a good example of where
there is a constant power struggle. In every league, every player wants control.
They want what they think should happen (during games), to happen. Recently,
in the NBA, Dennis Rodman took this struggle to an extreme. In disagreement with
an official's call, Rodman head-butted the official, and through a temper-
tantrum on his way off the court. Quite obviously, this is bad. Every player
in the league agrees to the rules set by the NBA from the beginning. .....

just like the rest us.
Aside from the meetings that we have every so often to discuss
activities we can do, we usually do fun and interesting activities. We go out
for pizza frequently because it seems to be the group consensus on what we would
all like to eat. During the holidays we celebrate in interesting ways; on
Halloween we have a party where every one gets dressed and brings candy. For
the Christmas season we are going to celebrate with a party at a members h .....

Lowell Police

thing was quite funny, but I would never want it to happen in a real situation.
The cuffs where killing me, but I took it like a man. They gave me a ride
around the block where I had the chance to ask them a few questions.
1. What made you want to become a cop?
2. How do you feel about kids and our constant drug problem?
3. Do you think certain laws should apply to certain situations?
4. Do you feel you are making a significant contribution to socie .....

Ethics And Engineering
.... the public,
that person should also be responsible to the public. The only concern of an
engineer cannot be to make a bridge as sound as possible in a certain budget.
If the people are to be crossing over this bridge, an engineer must also
consider if it is possible to truly make this bridge safe within the allotted
budget. He must not think purely of the technical aspects of the bridge making,
but of the human side. Statements like "Is it safe?" should be replaced by "Is
the bridge safe enough?" Whene .....

Historical Analogies Have A Great And Significant Value To Everyone
.... turns to great of a power and only a
major World War could stop him. Also, as a reference to the past would be the
killing of all the Jews by Hitler compared to what Sudan Hussein is doing right
now to the Croats. Hundreds of thousands died during Hitler's evil rage and now
with Sudan Hussein practicing the same methods, action should be taken.
I think historical analogy is very important and serves a great value.
With historical analogy we can see positive and negative consequences from past
events and .....

POW #12: The Big Knight Switch
.... and its guidelines, I had a somewhat
solid idea of how to approach it.
I first made a custom 3x3 chess board, and included the chess pieces
(two black and two white). I placed each in their appropriate sections and
proceeded to attempt to solve the problem. I calculated it to take each piece a
minimal of four moves to reach the other side of the board so I instantly knew I
would require 16 boxes for my diagram. But rather then going through that
process, I decided to take a much easier one, that bei .....

Queen Mab's Speech

the desire to gain office with the king, and sometimes she may come with a pigs
tail, tickling parson's noses as he/she sleep. Then he dreams of another
lucrative church appointment. Sometimes she gallops over a soliders neck, he
then dreams of cutting foreigh thoats, give farthoms deep. Then she drums in his
ear, at when he wakes up frightened and says a prayer or two. Then falls back
asleep. This is the same Queen Mab that knots the horses mane at night. That
