program has developed two methods in order to measure both women’s development as well as women’s empowerment. The two conceptual indexes that measure women’s development and their empowerment are the GDI and the GEM indexes. I do not believe that these indexes are accurate because they operate under a system of classification developed by the UNDP of levels subjective to only high‚ medium and low human development; unfairly this resulted in extremely low measures for Arab countries. Primarily we must

production process. It is the intellectual and physical effort of people in production. The labour market is a factor market where the demand and supply of labour interact to determine the wage rate and the allocation of labour resources in the economy.

Elasticity is the degree to which demand for a service or a good varies from its price. What happens most of the times is that when there are price decreases‚ sales increase and viceversa. This is known as elastic demand. For example‚ bicycles‚ sodas‚ jeans‚ cars have elastic demand because when they are cheap everyone wants to buy them‚ but when the price increases‚ people stop doing so (demand depends on the price). This happens with products such as this because they are not totally essential

In the early 1900s‚ psychologist Alfred Binet worked on creating a test that would measure a child’s intellectual capacity‚ determining whether or not they child was retarded or normal. In this test‚ both past history and future history are avoided‚ focusing solely on the child’s present state. Binet did not want to know why the child had the amount of intelligence that he did‚ nor if this state could be cured‚ but only the current mental state of the child. He pointed out that there were many different

Sex in Measure for Measure Sex: the theme seen in many a book and play‚ can be seen in Measure for Measure in many different places. This theme is the biggest and most intricate one throughout this play. It is seen more with death‚ venality‚ and decay in this seeming dark‚ dismal play. Why? Because there are brothels everywhere and venereal diseases run rampant‚ killing many a lover and whore.

Baldwin proposes the idea that "people can renew themselves at the fountain of their own lives" (54). This process of renewal means

(29/3 1998) The inverse demand function for a non-renewable resource is Pt = a- bRt‚ where Pt is the market price and Rt the extraction in period t. The total gross benefit from extracting this resource can be written as an integral The extraction cost Ct= cRt‚ where c is a constant. Total available amount of the resource is denoted by S.

Q.2 . What is groupthink. Explain. [10] According to Irving Janis(1972) ‚ groupthink is "a deterioration of mental efficiency‚ reality testing‚ and moral judgment resulting from in-group pressures". Thus‚ the overemphasis on consensus and agreement leads members to be unwilling to evaluate group members’ ideas critically. This hinders decision-making and becomes an obstacle to group productivity. Certain conditions favour the development of groupthink. i) The first condition is high cohesiveness

2.3 Ishikawa diagram In 1960s‚ Professor Kaoru Ishikawa has introduced Ishikawa diagram. This diagram also called fishbone diagram or cause and effect diagram (Ishikawa 1976). Since this diagram is inception‚ it has gained tremendous of popularity to identify the root cause of the variety of problems (Hossen et al. 2017). Besides that‚ Ishikawa diagram often called as fishbone diagram is because it can help in the brainstorming to determine the possible cause of a problem and also sort the ideas
