BSDS101: Assignment 1: Outline the stages of Walter Rostow’s Linear development theory and discuss the theory’s applicability to the developing world. Introduction: The question of why and how the developing world has since been developing at a relatively low pace has since been interpreted by various perspectives most of which are Euro-centric and highly debatable. A number of theories have since been formulated to explain why the developing countries are lagging behind in terms of their Gross

Linear Programming Model in Operation Research study is usually mathematical type of model which contains set of equations that represent objective function and constraints. The keywords in this article are Objective Function and Constraints‚ according to Heizer & Render (2008) Objective Function are mathematical expression expressed in linear programming designed to maximizes or minimizes some quantity‚ for example profit can maximized while the cost might be reduced. The objective function is also

The short story “Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin is about human nature versus reality‚ because the girl’s nature told her to get on the EDS as a stowaway‚ but she didn’t know the reality so she suffered the ultimate consequence of death. The EDS pilot knew he wasn’t alone in the EDS because of the heat sensor. He knew what he had to do‚ so he opened the cabinet where the human was. The pilot is surprised to find a young happy girl in the cabinet and gets thrown off his objective. He tells her what

In the short story‚ “The Cold Equations‚” written by Tom Godwin‚ is about an emergency supplies ship pilot who finds a stowaway on his ship‚ and must execute her on sight. This story illuminates the theme that sometimes‚ the consequences to one’s actions can be worse than the initial crime itself. First‚ in the beginning of the story‚ The E.D.S pilot sits in the cockpit of his ship‚ reciting the clearly stated law‚ “Any stowaways discovered in an EDS shall be jettisoned immediately following
