The various method of acquiring knowledge without necessarily conducting research include; Intuition- Using this method, we rely on our emotions, guts, and instincts to guide us. Rationalism – the method involves the use of reasoning and logic to obtain knowledge. Logical rules are followed, and premises are stated before arriving into a sound conclusion. Authority- the method involves accommodating new ideas because people in authority stated they are true. The authority may include parents, priests, media, professors, etc. Empiricism- involves acquiring knowledge using senses. It’s the study of issues we can hear, see, taste, touch, or feel. Some of the ways political pressure influences research include; Political interests are given too much weight in research agencies. Again, Research agencies prioritize relations with lawmakers and government agencies than efforts to further their research. Inductive reasoning begins with a particular observation and looks at patterns to develop a theory of an event; for example, if one student, maybe Joseph, studies 5 hours and make an “A,” inductive reasoning, we might theorize that every student who studies 5 hours will make an “A”…

VA Loans Getting to a point in life where you can buy a home is a significant achievement, and it calls for a lot of hard work. For a veteran or anyone serving in the military could be harder than it is for people who are not. Remember, if you are in the military, you do not get the time to engage in other income-generating activities that would enable you to realize your homeownership dream. So what options do you have as a veteran and want to buy a home? Well, there is a mortgage package for veterans called the VA loan. What Is a VA Loan? A VA loan is a home loan given by private lenders and secured by the US department of veterans affairs. It enables US veterans, the active duty service members, and widowed military spouses to buy a home. VA loans were introduced as part of the GI Bill in 1944 to help the veterans, and they have become popular over time. In early 2019, 8% of homes were acquired using a VA loan. This…

Mary lee Mary lee is a 20 years old female. She has no previous important medical history. On a Monday afternoon, Mary enters the emergency room in fear of having a heart attack. She had experienced incidents of momentous chest pain, numbness in her arm, and difficulties in breathing. She then explains to her physician in the emergency room that she was walking her dog earlier in the afternoon when she began sweating. Since it was not hot outside, she failed to understand the reason for her sweating. Her heart was pounding hard that she thought it would explode, she explains.

The lack of medical abnormalities in her trial made the physician conclude that Jane had a panic attack, and he referred her to a clinical psychologist. After two weeks,…

Motivation maintenance I will compare and contrast the motivation maintenance approach to motivation and the hierarchy of needs. Motivation maintenance is the approach that appears to me as minimal prior knowledge of reading. It is an underlying concept of motivation generated from the employees rather than the managers and the hygiene and the motivation factors (Kinicki and Williams, 2018). Such motivator factors may include achievements and recognitions that must represent the truth of motivation to happen. The hierarchy of needs can be termed to be based on the assumption that people get motivated by something that satisfies significant needs for which money can be used as a motivator factor either directly or indirectly satisfy only a number of these needs (Kinicki, & Williams, 2018, p. 399). Motivation maintenance style defines that if an employee is undeformed, the manager has an alternative of going through a hierarchy of hygiene factors ranging from the highest basic salary to the highest achievements similar to the hierarchy of needs, to be able to identify which factors are met and follow the application of motivation…

                    Utopianism and Science Fiction Name: Institution:                   Ursula Le Guin “Dispossessed.” Introduction The dialogical theology of this text is described by the depths of their roots in culture and history of America given the relationships between the context and dialogic possibilities, making theirs a clearly dialogical theology that draws the contrary and complicated associations between social, technology, culture, religion, and social changes. How changes in the rhetoric and social-political in the U.S become transformations in American dialogical theologies is one of the question I asked. Comprehending the relationships between the novel, history, and discourse assist us to understand the ways Ursula Le Guinn’s The Dispossessed is overtly political and reflects the conflicts of the time in which it was written, most particularly the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Narrative is an artifact developed according to convention. Those insights apply to news reports and novels as well as the small and large narratives we talk about ourselves. Science fictions can assist bridge…

Students name Instructors name Course Date Short answer questi Students name Instructors name Course Date Short answer questions The thesis statement is that the sexuality of Emily and Homer was ambiguous meaning that one would not easily identify their true sexuality. I’m afraid I have to disagree with this statement as the author does not give valid evidence as to why he believes there is ambiguity in the sexuality of these two characters. The author issues evidence that by Emily cutting off the hair, she is trying to look like a man which is quite irrational because it might just be out of choice without any intentions to look like a man and the evidence is made based on mere assumptions.  Stating that Homer liked young men due to his preference for young men club is quite irrational because it might be just a preference and there is no evidence of him engaging in any sexual activity. It is thus quite irrational to make a judgement on someone sexuality based on his preference for young men clubs. Additionally, the author…

Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Financial Modeling Financial modeling helps identify a company’s or individual current financial status and forecast its future financial position. Proper financial modeling helps guide decision making in matters of investments, savings, expenditure, and future expansion plans in a company or business. Financial modeling entails accounting, business, and financial metrics to capture and represent the financial position under assessment. Companies use different financial models, depending on the company’s financial goals and operations. Some of these models include the Three Statement Model, the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Model, the Merger (M &A) Model, and the Initial Public Offering (IPO) Model, among several others. Of these models, I resonate more with the Three Statement Model. The Three Statement Model focuses on the income statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement. I resonate more with the Three Statement Model because it represents a person’s or a company’s actual financial status. The income statement gives the actual figures for the income generated from income-generating activities. In contrast, a cash flow statement gives the value of all cash…
