Sociology Degrees

Sociology is a very broad science that includes many different disciplines. This makes the career options just as diverse as the science itself. If you are considering getting a sociology degree, you may be wondering what career options are available. Many graduates enter the human services realm. There are positions such as counseling, case workers, advocacy, mental health services, and administration. Workers are needed in many different environments, like government, non-profit organizations, community service organizations, and advocacy groups.

Sociology graduates also fair quite well in the criminal justice arena. They get positions in correctional institutions, local, state, and federal courts, and other government agencies. The actual criminal justice positions vary but include corrections officer, rehabilitation specialist, and law enforcement agent.
Many federal government agencies are a great place for graduates to find jobs as well. Agencies like the Department of Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and the National Institute of Health often hire those with sociology degrees. They hold positions doing social statistics, demography, research, and city planning.
Since education requirements vary amongst the sociology fields, you should closely examine your career goals prior to enrolling in a program. The programs tend to be very demanding and intellectual. However, the rewards are really worth it. Upon graduation, you will have the skills necessary to succeed in this challenging career field.

US Economy

The current monetary policy of the US authorities is not absolutely adequate to the situation, and the main point that proves it is the fact that the way it explains the world crisis, does not reflect the reality.
Generally speaking, the monetary methods of the world crisis' explanation are "true" only in quite a narrow range of parameters which simply are absent today. Moreover, we may not expect the shift of the situation to these parameters neither in short-term, nor in long-term perspective. Today seems to be the time of 'sophistication'.

To find it to be true we'll remember the recent speech of Charles Evans, the head of Chicago FRS department, at the annual conference devoted to questions of the current monetary policy. According to his opinion, the USA economy now faced the situation when a number of certain monetary control levers, including the Rate, have now ceased to work. This is true, but then he offered to fix economy with the ordinary monetary measures what as we can see now is not effective and will not counter problems of unemployment and low inflation.
The world crisis's main reason is obvious: no market expansion is possible any more, and the main stimulus to the economic growth now is the all-time decreasing cost of credit money. But it is economy not math and this rate can not be less than zero. The first is to limit the supply of money (this way will cause recession), but then the so-expected growth will occur. But such approach does not suit the monetarists. They could not predict the crisis, then they rejected the crisis, now they imitate activity countering it.
The second way is what Evans said "more liberal policy".
The chief executive of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, Eric Rosengren, assumed the possibility US economy faces deflation. He said we need to counter it "immediately and vigorously", not to go the way Japan did in 80s when the country within a decade faced deflation.
This fear is natural, because the 8 months of 2010 showed only 1,1% inflation rate and it went along with unemployment growth and decrease of economic activity index. The FRS chairman Ben Bernanke had already mentioned that the only way to reach 2% inflation is printing more dollars.
But why not to have deflation for some certain period of time, then decrease of economy, then again the steady phase of economic growth? Neither they explain this nor how inflation will help the US economy.
The deflation scenario means quick decrease in economy, decay of the current financial system (which had produced all the monetarists). The inflation scenario means the death of 'real sector' of economy that goes along with slow and long period of recession. The monetarists have no idea of what to do but are eager to show they control the situation.

Indian Geography

India has a unique geographical structure. From the top of India to bottom, Indian geography totally changes. India is a mixed land that has mountains, deserts, hills, plateaus and much more. It is a land locked country but still has diversified geography. It is surrounded by the Arabian Sea in the west and by Bay of Bengal in the east. This mixed geography of the Indian land makes it a country that is rich in flora and fauna. The total area of India comprises of 90.44 percent of land and rest 9.56 percent of water.

Indian geography is very vast and changes with the land. It is very beautiful with natural combination of different types of mountains, highlands, seas, soil, hills and much more. Indian geography is a blissful approach one can experience for the mental peace. Soil of India also possesses different values with changing land of India. It can be classified into eight types black soil, alluvial soil, red soil, literate soil, forest soil, arid & desert soil, saline & alkaline soil, and peaty & organic soil. India is mounted by the Himalayas which also affects the Indian geography up to a great extent.

The mixed land of India and Indian geography including soil and climate make it a hub of various natural resources. In India various reserves of natural resources can be found like coal, iron ore, manganese, mica, bauxite, titanium ore, chromites, natural gas, diamonds, petroleum, limestone. Weather of India is also quite unique and changes as per the land geography. Northern India is usually cold and southern India is warm every time while the western part of India enjoys a moderate climate.
Indian geography is very vast. It is a rich source to study about rivers, mountains, plateaus, hills, soil, season etc.

History of Management

Many different perspectives on the practice of management have been advanced suggesting how managers should approach, diagnose, and solve organizational problems. Some perspectives attempted to solve problems of current interest to managers of that day. Other perspectives attempted to develop rules and guidelines for managers that could be useful in many different organizational settings. Regardless of the managerial issue or problem that was of central concern to these perspectives, it is fair to say that each differed in its assumptions and in the methods it recommended to managers for reaching a solution. A careful understanding of the events and issues that confronted managers in the past enables us to understand why different approaches have been recommended for solving managerial problems. The development of management theory and practice is best understood in the context of history.

Preindustrial Societies
While techniques of management have been around for a long time, the practice of management is relatively new. Prior to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in 17th-century England, several forms of organization had emerged requiring the use of "managers" to successfully achieve organizational objectives. Most prominent among these organizations were the state, the church, and the military. With the emergence of villages and cities in ancient civilizations, as represented by Greek, Roman, and Chinese societies, came the need to administer the building of roads; to establish judicial principles to oversee commerce and settle disputes; to provide means to distribute food supplies; to control the collection of taxes; and to supervise military activities both within the state and among conquered territories. We find in the writings of early Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans expressions of the need for effective managers with explications of the duties and responsibilities assigned to their position, the need for training, and the need for control over activities in the hands of a centralized authority such as the emperor.'
Religious institutions, most notably the Catholic Church, also contributed to the body of knowledge concerning managerial principles. While the objectives of the church differed from those of the state, the church incorporated many of the same principles of management. In addition, the church developed methods and techniques directed toward commitment to values and attitudes, provided social support to the populace, and established conditions for membership.
Perhaps the most advanced form of organization was the military. Indeed, many of the more sophisticated principles created and developed by the military, from the Roman to the Prussian armies, are still applied by managers of modern businesses. •Chain of command. The chain of command established clear, unbroken lines of authority and responsibility from the highest to the lowest level in the organization.
•Delegation of authority. Because of the length of the chain of command, it became essential that decision-making authority be granted to those in middle- and low-level positions. Without this provision, the individual occupying the senior position would be overwhelmed by the task of having to approve each activity necessary to the efficient functioning of the military units.
•Staff. While staff officers accrued power because of their expertise, the final decision was the responsibility of the commanding officer.
•Unity of command. The principle that no individual has more than one supervisor is known as unity of command. Receiving orders or directives from two or more superiors can lead to confusion, contradictory requests, and instability in military operations.
The importance of these principles in military organizations cannot be overemphasized. As we will see later, organizations operating in threatening environments must reduce errors and plan their activities to a greater extent than organizations operating in non-threatening environments.

Biology Through Interactive Whiteboard Resources

Everything related to our bodies, the way we breathe, the food we digest, and the diseases we suffer from are all related to biological studies. When we are reading up on the subject of biology, we do not know what functions are going on in the body of an organism as we are not able to see inside the body for obvious reasons. However, when the internal working of the body is revealed through 3d animation and video tutorials, we can see first-hand things like how exactly blood travels from the heart, how the lungs expand and contract and how the food passes through the body to give us energy. All this remains a distant dream without using interactive whiteboard resources in our daily curriculum.

There are innumerable diagrams that come with the study of biology. Biology is a subject that is deemed to be incomplete without the use of visual aids. Everything of significance needs to be drawn and marked along with providing a theoretical explanation. Interactive whiteboard resources showcase different diagrams relating to the study material using lots of colors that makes it appealing for students. Students feel involved with the study of the subject. The habitats and natural surroundings of different organisms that we study can be easily shown. There are some organisms that are microbial and simply too small in size to be observed with the naked eye even though they are present all around us. Such organisms like bacteria, viruses and fungi that have a considerable impact on daily living can be easily seen and their structures studied by observing images on the whiteboards. Students can learn in this manner in the classroom and then also go home and download these resources that are available at most places free of cost.
For younger kids, one of the first things that are taught life cycles of organisms. For primary class kids, this concept can be hard to imagine how a butterfly forms from a worm. Videos can be shown that show how a beautiful butterfly emerges from the pupa. Such presentations are sure to leave the students awestruck and keep them interested in the study of Biology in later years in life.
Biology also involves the study of evolution and the pre historic animals and birds that we have evolved from. Without images and graphical presentations, it is hard to imagine the existence of creatures like dinosaurs, the mammoth, etc. especially for a first timer. Interactive whiteboard resources help to better drive home the point. Studying and rote-learning through books is no match for the kind of learning that these resources can afford.

Green Chemistry

Chemical manufacturing has seen large advances in so-called green chemistry in recent years. The term "green chemistry" has come to embrace some well-defined concepts in chemical manufacturing. As enunciated by Paul Anastas, considered by many to be the father of green chemistry," a chemical process is greener when it meets certain well-defined criteria. Among those characteristics that enable a process to be called greener, many are commonsense goals. Using solvents that are more biodegradable is preferred. Similarly, a process that reduces overall waste that includes all inputs into the process such as solvents, raw materials, and process aids. In addition, a green chemical process uses less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions. The greenness f a process is summarized by a term called the "E-Factor" which measures the total amount of solvents, reagents, and consumables used in kilograms and divides it by the kilograms of final product produced.

One technology that has become a central part of green chemistry is biocatalysis. Using enzymes, which are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions, has immediate advantages in turning a chemical process green. Enzymes are nature's catalysts, present in every living organism to carry out a wide range of chemical reactions. As such, enzymes are completely biodegradable. Increasingly chemical companies are looking to biocatalysis to improve the sustainability f their manufacturing. Nowhere have enzymes had a larger impact recently than in the pharmaceutical industry. Many drug substances are difficult to synthesize, requiring multiple steps, large amounts of solvents, and extensive purifications. Using enzymes as catalysts can improve the purity and reduce the amount of organic solvent needed, resulting in a much greener overall manufacturing process.
A good example of the impact of biocatalysis on pharmaceutical manufacturing is the recent announcement by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer about changes in its process for the production of pregabalin, the active ingredient in its $3 billion per year drug Lyrica. In 2007 Pfizer replaced a classical chemical processing step with a more efficient enzymatic step. The result is a 90% reduction in solvent, used a 50% reduction in starting material needed, and commensurately large reactions in other reagents and chemical inputs. The E-factor of the process was reduced from 86 to 9.
Biocatalysis has many attractive features in the context of green chemistry, and its impact will become significantly larger in coming years.

Gender Physics

The promotion of women in business is not just good for women - it's good for everyone.
Like many of the physical sciences, it is predicated on the idea of balance and equilibrium - in this case, the balance between masculine and feminine energy. We all have an abundance of one energy or the other, which is often (but not always) dictated by our actual gender - that is, men will usually have an abundance of masculine energy and women will have more feminine energy. But just as a corporation will benefit from the infusion of feminine energy that women will bring to the table, so too do I believe that individuals will benefit from developing the opposite energy in themselves.

The Two Energies
Masculine energy is action-oriented and forceful. It is a spear that cuts its portion, stakes its claim, and protects its territory. Masculine energy is primarily motivated by external concerns; it emphasizes independence, reinforced by a "can-do" spirit. If properly balanced, masculine energy can be a force for good: the father lovingly providing for his family, the government enacting regulations with a social conscience. Meanwhile, feminine energy is internally-driven. It is the source of creativity, imagination, and introspection. In contrast to the independent and forceful masculine energy, feminine energy is all about co-existence, cooperation, consensus, and nurturing. Feminine energy can likewise be a force for good in the world, as it resolves conflict and helps people band together in times of need. Its internal focus also provides the creative spark of innovation.
Excessive masculine energy without the counterbalance of feminine energy leads to mindless, risky action. We'll eat too much, spend too much, or work too much, without the introspective feminine impulse to ask why. Masculine energy also seeks to dominate the outside world; in the absence of the value system provided by feminine energy, this impulse can quickly lead to conflict and war.
An excess of feminine energy can result in co-dependency, as we become devoted to others at the expense of ourselves and follow their opinions without developing our own. Masculine energy also compliments feminine energy by providing that spark of action and decisiveness; without it, nothing gets done. I've often seen this in charitable organizations that are afraid to make any decisions for fear of offending donors and volunteers.
Finding Balance
The solution, of course, is to be balanced - to use both our masculine and feminine energies. If we are in a balanced state our thoughts, emotions, and actions easily flow back and forth between the two energies; we will be able to use the most appropriate energy for every situation. I call this state "Good Gender Physics," and it's a goal that every individual and organization should strive for. On an individual level, good Gender Physics can have far-reaching benefits. I often use the example of Thomas Edison, who called on innovative feminine energy to conceive of the light bulb, then masculine energy to see his invention through.
Organizations and even the world at large can also benefit from good Gender Physics. Even though women constitute half the population, the world is very much dominated by masculine energy. Society reveres the achievements of the self-sufficient individual and view the emotional feminine energy as weak - after all, feelings can be an impediment to getting things done! Furthermore, the attributes of masculine energy are rewarded financially, so both men and women aspire to them. The result is a masculine energy-dominated world characterized by war, conflict, and reckless decision-making.
This trend is perpetuated by the fact that the business world is dominated by men; those women who do attempt to climb the corporate ladder tend to suppress their feminine side in an attempt to "fit in." While it's not a bad thing to see these women develop their masculine energy, the big-picture result is that they don't bring enough feminine energy to these masculine institutions. And the men at these companies are not actively encouraged to develop their feminine energy; companies may have paternity leave available, but in most cases men know that it is career suicide to take it. Businesses and organizations must encourage the growth of feminine energy, not only by hiring and promoting more women, but also through family-friendly policies and a more responsible corporate culture.
The Six Steps
I frequently speak about finding a state of Effortless Energy by following the Six Stilletto Steps. The truth is that gender balance plays an important role in this process. The Six Steps are a journey, similar to the quests of ancient mythology when an ordinary boy or girl steps out of their comfort zone to face their destiny. On the journey, they discover who they are inside (feminine energy) and learn that they can depend on themselves (masculine energy). In changing their internal world, they develop the confidence that they can change their external world.
Indeed, every step in the process requires both masculine and feminine energy, which develops both our energies as we work our way through them. Step 1, Self-Awareness, is the most introspective (and thus feminine) step, yet it is also masculine insofar as it also involves awareness of external signals. The second step of Self-Acceptance again has two elements: it takes the feminine energy of compassion to accept what we have learned about ourselves, but also the courage of masculine energy to stand up and "dare to be different." Step 3, Self-Assurance, is all about the masculine energy of actively seeking support systems through friends and family based on the feminine energy of your self-knowledge. It is important that our external action reflects our internal value system which is established by our feminine energy. Again, it is an inner, to outer, step.
Step 4 is Self-Care, in which we arm ourselves with the tools and weapons we need, be they messages, affirmations, or knowledge. Self-Care tools can be as individual as what gives us energy. Again, it's the masculine energy action that fills the tool bag as we "invest in ourselves," but it's based on our internal value-system of restoration (feminine energy). The fifth step is Self-Reliance, the moment where we set out on the quest. This is clearly the most masculine of the steps, as it is the point where we stop planning and start doing; yet we also draw on internal strength and resolve in times of peril, and that resolve has its roots in self-knowledge. Even the final step, Self-Celebration, has a masculine and feminine side. Sometimes people ask me why I call them "Stilletto Steps." For starters, it's because I've always loved stillettos! But the real reason is that Stillettos represent a perfect blend of energies - the feminine stilletto heel evolved from the stilletto knife, the ultimate symbol of forceful masculine energy. Each step is a precarious balancing act between the two energies - but if we can keep our balance, we'll reap the benefits.

Go Mathematics

If you have not caught the trend by now, you should: Green is in, and everything else, well, is out. And if you thought that mathematics was not at the forefront of the green movement, then think again. We see this in a Florida utility plant that is harnessing the mathematical properties of the parabola to redirect the sun's rays and create a greener earth.

Coming soon to Martin County, Florida is FP&L's (Florida Power & Light's) new hybrid power plant, which combines the best of both worlds with respect to dated fossil fuel power generation and cutting edge green solar power. The 75-MW (megawatt) Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center takes advantage of the best of both types of fuel. The hybrid plant can generate power from the sun's rays when weather permits, and when the clouds are in force, the plant can switch to its originally designated purpose and generate power via readily available natural gas.

Where the mathematics comes in is through the application of our knowledge of parabolas in directing the rays of the sun. The utility plant has amassed a five hundred acre array of parabolic mirrors which concentrate the sun's radiant energy by a factor of eighty. The energy heats fluid that is converted into steam to move the turbines of the power generators. Thus when the sun is out and shining, these fancy mirrors capitalize on these sunny days; when it looks like rain, the turbines are driven by natural gas.
This solar project is so state-of-the-art that it is drawing international attention and FP&L, the utility company which built it, is giving tours for the United States Department of State. Given our concern with greenhouse gases and global warming, such new age hybrid utility plants serve to rest our concerns about whether the planet might survive at least another few centuries. And all because of our knowledge of a conic section that algebra students loved to hate and teachers strained to teach.
The gist of the story is that mathematics is more than a subject to confuse and bewilder. Even applications of fundamental mathematics such as the parabola are turning out to have "earth-shattering" ---indeed earth-saving---implications. Maybe mathematics is that which after all will save the planet and indeed the world.

Practical Information on Indonesia

Practical information
Time zones:The Indonesian archipelago is made up of more than 17000 islands that stretch out into three different time zones. During British summer time it's GMT+ 6 hours in western Indonesia (Java and Sumatra), GMT+ 7 hours in central Indonesia (Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi and Kalimantan) and GMT+8 hours in eastern Indonesia (Moluccas and Iran Jaya). Indonesia doesn't use daylight saving time, so in winter time the difference is GMT+7, GMT+8 and GMT+9 hours, respectively.

Communication: If you want to take your mobile phone away with you, make sure you check with your provider before you leave whether you can use your mobile phone in Indonesia. In order to minimise the costs of your calls, you could choose to buy a prepaid phone card. These usually cost no more than a few pounds and you can buy an additional calling card to top your credit up. You can call the UK from most of the phone centres like Wartel, Telkom or Perumtel found on most of the (larger) towns. To call the UK you'll need to dial 00 44, followed by the UK phone number, but without the initial zero. Internet cafes are popping up everywhere so you'll find plenty of places to check your email or surf the internet. It's cheap and easy, but connections can be poor and sometimes painfully slow.
Language:The official language on all the islands is Bahasa Indonesia, though each of the islands (or regions) has its own dialect. Many Indonesians speak a bit of English, especially in the larger more touristy areas.
Tips: Tips are often considered to be a supplement to a person's salary. Haggling: Bargaining is customary for most everyday purchases in local shops and markets. Before you enter the game of offer and counter offer, make sure you decide what price you are willing to pay. Remember, once your price is accepted you have to buy it. Haggling is part of the purchasing process, so only do it if you're really interested in buying the product, and not just haggling for the fun of it!
Departure tax: On your last day you'll be saying goodbye to Indonesia and boarding the plane back home. Before you spend all your Indonesian Rupiahs in a last-minute souvenir-shopping spree, remember to save some cash for the airport departure tax of 150,000 IDRP (approximately 10) which you'll need to pay after check-in. Departure tax also applies for domestic flights, though the fees are considerably lower, between 50,000 - 80,000 IDRP (approximately 3 - 6), depending on the airport

Basic Math Strategies

One of the most difficult sections of the CAHSEE is the math section. Because of the broad range of topics and concepts this section covers, it can also be one of the hardest sections to prepare for. Because of this, having the right strategy in place for the math questions can be significant.

Download Links Exam Drill for SNMPTN - Latihan Matematika


Be Prepared

While math may be the most difficult section on the exam, it can also be one of the easiest to prepare for. There are always core principles and formulas within each content strand of the math section. If there is a major concept or formula within a content strand, there's a good chance it will be covered on the exam. Always make sure you know the basic formulas and concepts, as well as the most popular ones. If you're going to do any last minute reviews on exam day, this should be the material you cover.

Reading Matters, Even In Math

Always make sure to read the question. Once you have read the question, re-read it just to make sure you understand exactly what they're asking for. This is especially true for the math section given the complicated and detailed nature of the majority of the questions.

Do The Work

When provided with paper to do the math, use it. While it may seem simpler to try and do the math in your head, it is typically much easier to do on paper. It is also easier to catch your mistakes when writing out the calculations than it is when doing the math in your head.
While there may be a few questions on the exam that require some fairly in depth calculations, the majority of the questions should be fairly straightforward, relying on your basic knowledge of the concepts being covered. In other words, if the equation you're using to try and solve the problem is taking up half the page, you're most likely doing it wrong. Most equations should be simple, as long as you know the correct formulas to use.

SAT Tips

Yes, it's true...standardized tests are a pain in the butt! However, your score on these exams will play a large role in the college admissions process. The key to performing well on the SAT is being adequately prepared. You just have to pick the best study method for you. In this article, we'll discuss some SAT tips that will get you prepared for the big exam day.
First, you should take the PSAT or preliminary SAT. This exam is essentially an SAT pre-test. You'll be placed in a real live testing environment and the questions on this exam will be very similar to the ones that you'll receive on the real SAT exam. Similar to the SAT, the PSAT will include the following subject areas: reading, math, and writing.


Download Links Exam Drill for SNMPTN - Latihan Tes Potensi Akademik / SAT

Colleges won't be taking your PSAT score into consideration when evaluating whether or not they should accept you, but it is in your best interest to take this exam seriously. In addition to helping you prepare for the real SAT, this exam will also qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship program. What's the National Merit Scholarship Program? This program awards scholarships to students who earn the highest scores on the PSAT. You can learn more about this process by visiting the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's website.
Second, you should continue to prepare for the SAT exam after you have taken the PSAT. There are a lot of various resources available, including live SAT prep course classes, free online resources, and books that you can purchase from your local bookstore. The method of study that each student selects will vary based on their learning style. As for live courses, some schools may offer these for free. If not, the following companies offer live SAT prep courses: Kaplan, The Princeton Review, and Sylvan Learning Center. You should visit their websites to find out more information about specific prep courses that are being offered in your area. In addition, there are a lot of free online resources. You can download free practice questions on the College Board website. Lastly, you can also head down to your local bookstore and ask the people behind the counter to point you in the direction of SAT review materials. I can guarantee that there is a section committed to standardized exams. If you purchase your own book, you can create your own study plan as opposed to being committed to attending a live class on specific dates and times.
Third, you have to register. Commonly, students take the SAT in the spring of their junior year. You can register for the exam on the College Board website. It's a good idea to pick your exam date a couple months in advance of the application deadlines for the colleges that you intend on applying to. This will ensure that you get your scores back in enough time.
If you follow these SAT tips, you'll feel confident and ready to go when exam day rolls around. Remember to get enough sleep the night before the exam and to each breakfast on the morning before the exam. Good luck!

UI Hoping to Increase International Class

The registrant of selection into the University of Indonesia (See UI) for the International Special Class for the period 2009-2010 and then increased rapidly, namely from 1013 to 1492 or 47.92 percent. This year the UI also expects this increase, especially prospective new students were given eight elective courses.


Thus expressed the Head Office of Communication UI Vishnu Juwono to Kompas.com, Saturday (27/11/2010). Consider the UI Wave I academic period 2011/2012 remain held on 17 April 2011 which will be held after the national exam (UN).

"The bench is provided for prospective new students who made up about 2,000 more than regular S-1, S-1 parallel, vokasi/D3, as well as S-1 Special Class International," he said.

Vishnu said, Consider the 2011 registration will begin January 15 until February 28, 2011. Benches are provided for prospective new students in 2011 about 2,000 more are composed of regular S-1, S-1 parallel, vokasi/D3, as well as S-1 Special Class International.

"The selection will be held simultaneously in 47 cities throughout Indonesia and some overseas. The possibility of increasing the number of applicants can be in a number of locations, including those abroad such as last year in Malaysia because many Indonesian students or students who study there," said Vishnu .

He added that during later registration of new students to choose eight courses of study (Prodi) for all levels. The option is for all programs, not least the International Classroom Program.

"This is certainly an attraction for prospective students, especially the International Class," he added.
