Sometimes we have to sit back and consider others who don’t have the luxuries we have. Although Cambodians and Americans are both human beings there lifestyles are very different in a way.…

    The issue of discrimination has been the cause of raging debates for a long time in the history of the United States. Such discrimination may be based on race, gender color, ethnicity, or any other basis that distinguishes people and tends to favor specific groups over others. During the history of America, the American people have observed discrimination on many fronts and especially so against black people and the minority. The concepts of race, gender, and class have had a tremendous effect on children’s experiences through the American education system. Different children and people have different life experiences as well as different backgrounds. As such, one cannot wish away these elements of race gender and class in an education system that has real people from real societies. As such, a society can only hope to find ways of reducing the distinctions and the discrimination associated with those elements in the schools. The discussion in this paper will analyze the modern forms of racial and sexual discrimination, which affects access and treatment of students in schools. It will propose an argument for ways of creating racial and gender equality in schools in the United States.…

    2. In Andrea’s case I would advise her to look at her options. She must look into the benefits and the drawbacks of staying within the company and transferring departments, or taking her redundancy package and starting up her own business. She should assess and measure the opportunity. Not only banking on the government authority as her only customer she must analyse if other customers are reachable. She must assess is if her market potential and annual growth is could be significant and durable. She might also measure if the customer payback would be less than one year, and if she would break even within the first 2 years. Andrea should also assess her competition and see if she can compete and provide her services at lower cost than them, and lower capital. All the above is important for her to look at when assessing and differentiating starting her own business from being a mere idea to an opportunity. Kit too should look at these same aspects of differentiating between a good idea and an opportunity as Andrea. He should look into finding out the costs involved in operating his business in an environmentally friendly manner, and measure if the venture will be sustainable as well as profit maximizing, with cost effective…
