Four years ago, I began volunteering at a tutorial centrally located within an underdeveloped community in the Bronx. Being a close-knit organization, I observed the tutorial’s managerial side and the practicalities involved in operating a small business. Although we approached a deficit at times, we prioritized affordability to guarantee that the community’s students had access to academic resources. As I gained experience, the site directors allowed me to manage fiscal matters within the business. I remember probing through spreadsheets and meticulously examining every financial decision to ensure that we can offer tutoring services at affordable prices. This was my first insight into the world of finance and economics at the age of fifteen. Through studying finance at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, I aspire to help businesses in underdeveloped regions and live up to the school’s motto, “Developing leaders who make a positive difference in the world” and I trust that Ross will enable me to pursue my career goals, as well as equip me with a diverse education. At the Ross School of Business, I hope…

Southern Apologetics Southern Apologetics was a systematic defence tactic that defended the practice of slavery in the South. According to Loewen, the civil war arose due to slavery practices in the South. However, Loewen shows that some history books have shown that slavery is isolated and an obsolete historical aspect. Ideally, this does not do justice to the fact that the white supremacist tactics developed from slavery. In showing how slavery was the central issue during the civil war, Loewen explains that when South Carolina seceded from the union, the politicians condemned the states that did not enforce the Fugitive Slave Act that allowed runaway slaves to be returned to the slave owners in the South. This Act shows that there was a group of Americans who supported the ownership of slaves in the South. These were the Southern Apologetics. High school textbooks have portrayed many ideas about slavery, and most of the people would be surprised to learn that slaves played a critical role in the economy of the Northern States. The history textbooks show that the issue of…

President Franklin Roosevelt issued an er order in 1942, which put across certain areas in the United States to be military zones and restrict access to those areas. The President’s order came after the Japanese military attacked pearl harbor, and there was concern that Japanese Americans might pose a threat to the national security under the executive order. Japanese families were taken to internment camps. This affected them because they had to sell their homes and businesses for much less of their worth. This led to the Japanese losing much of what they had accrued. They also faced racism based on public perception and hysteria. The order was fair to the Americans but unfair to the Japanese Americans because it infringed the basic fundamental rights and freedoms of the Japanese Americans. It was deemed a setback by the government side to upheld those rights and freedoms. The fear of the unknown pushed the American government and people to take the Japanese Americans to camps. The order contradicted American justice, as we can see in the case of Korematsu V United…

The Abbasid Caliphate The medieval period is very prominent and popular among historians given that, this is the period that was regarded as being dark but in reality it influenced the modern spiritual, scientific, economic, cultural and political aspects. Even though the medieval era had a significant impact on humanity, there were still other powers that emerged during that period, and they include the Abbasid caliphate and the Byzantine Empire. This paper will mainly look at how the powerful states in the Abbasid Caliphate in the tenth century established their courts as well as what roles those courts had. Looking at the article “On the Courtiers and Familiars of Kings” is clear that there is no king can be without worthy courtiers.

The courtiers were also supposed to be honourable and of excellent character, of a cheerful disposition and irreproachable in respect of their clean liver, discreet and religion (Levy). The king of the Caliph was very keen so…

Intrusion detection system An intrusion detection system is a software application that monitors network traffic for unusual activity and alerts administrators to discover such issues. This software scans the network for policy breaching and harmful activity and reports any malicious activity to IT administrators using event management systems. This event management system integrates all outputs from various sources and applies an alarm filter to distinguish false alarms from malicious activity. Therefore, it provides the function of detecting active attacks on a site or network. This aspect is because even though intrusion detection systems are meant to detect malicious activity, they can be manipulated by false alarms. Hence, firms have to use fine-tuned IDS products when installing them. The IDS also functions by detecting asymmetric route and protocol-specific attacks on a network. IDS also has the ability to block and detect unknown malware and spyware and hence a fundamental complement of other security systems like firewalls (Ambusaidi et al., 2016). These IDS work as signature-based detectors that look for indicators of known attackers or exploits. Once they find these indicators of…
