Sports and Sociology. Watching the videos, I am impressed by the way the truth about sports is spreading. For quite a long period, people have been ‘blind’ to see the many flaws in sports. In previous centuries, the flaws in sports were not common, but things have really changed. In the past, sports was a good recipe for socialization and character development, but it is no longer the case. First, sports reflect inequality in society, as revealed by Colin Kaepernick’s video. Colin’s story is just a representation of many unheard cases where sports is a platform for inequality. For him, the US sports mistreated the blacks and the people of colour. In other spheres, inequality extends to races. Authorities heading sports are in the front line of the inequality, as evidenced by President Trump’s speech when he orders Colin to be chased away from the team. While the function of sports in society was meant to be creating symbolic value for participants, promote youthful socializations and enhance character and educational development, sports have missed the mark. Instead, sports are a…

        Exercise 1 Student Instructor Institution Date                   Exercise 1 Research centering on a case studies provide a comprehensive understanding of an issue assumed to be complex by extending and expanding the knowledge from the previous research. A case study, therefore, provides a foundation for the application of concepts from prior research to real-life situations. However, the downside of the research technique is that it does not provide ground for determining reliability of the research results (Soy, 1997). Similarly, the use of multiple case studies my expose the research findings to case biases. In studying cyber security, a case study technique excels in establishing the social engineering element mixed with the human aspect. Further, case analysis allows the understanding of the interaction of economic, organizational, ethical, and social factors across multiple cultures and their relation to real-world technical systems.                   Reference Soy, S.

    reply   In Australia, the oil and gas sector has been accredited as the main actor for economic development. Despite fossil fuels catering for energy wants in Australia, the scientific consequences of burning fossil fuels remain a threat. looby groups such as The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) seek to influence policy change within this sector. Globally, in 2015, five major oil companies and looby groups spent approximately $150 million (Arup, n.d.). This illustrates the financial cost oil and gas companies spent to influence the climate change policy that seeks to keep world temperatures below an average of two degrees. Clearly, policymakers and the Australian government benefit financially from oil and gas. APPEA spent almost $4 million last year .trying to “obstruct” a more ambitious climate change policy, according to InfluenceMap, a British research group (Arup, n.d.). This shows the energy sector puts pressure on lawmakers to support conventional and unconventional oil and gas production. By lobbying, APPEA can influence policy by using consultations, messaging, advertising, and public campaigns.   references; Arup, T.

Responsive Web Design (RWD) Responsive Web Design (RWD) is a technique suggesting that design and development should correctly respond to the users’ environments and behavior based on their platform, screen size, and orientation. According to Sutton (2018), the responsive web design is a development approach that introduces dynamic changes to the overall appearance of a web page or the entire website, depending on the node’s size and orientation or devices being used to access it. With this technique, page elements and contents reshuffle as the viewport shrinks and increases. Responsive web design consists of various layouts and flexible grids, videos, images, and intelligent use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) media queries. As the surfer or user switches between screen sizes, for example, from a Smartphone to a laptop, smart television, or vice versa, the web pages must automatically switch simultaneously to accommodate all elements, including resolution, image size, font size, and other scripting abilities. However, to effectively achieve responsive design elements, the user may also have to consider altering their device settings on private networks that may block their access…

Social issues are alarmingly on the rise in modern contemporary society and are considered to affect most society members. A society develops social problems when there is a difference in opinions regarding religious issues, ethnic issues, cultural practices, and political issues. Social issues vary from society to society and threaten values such as law and order, stability, and institutions’ social cohesion. However, social issues are distinguished from common problems by the extent to which they are perceived and recommended actions to deal with them. Social issues have long been a bone of contention, and arguments on the same have brought controversies. It is no different from the society that Lisa Simpson lives in, encompassed by multiple social issues. However, to a large extent, individual characters can contribute to the success of a society by seeking social justice and upholding a noble cause such as Lisa Simpson. Climate change and global warming affect the living conditions due to an increase in global temperatures and changes in weather patterns. Global warming is caused by the accumulation of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere…
