“The pope is surely a moral saint. For we were all moved to tears when we saw images of him washing the feet of prisoners, embracing victims of leprosy, and sharing meals with the homeless.”

Expert Solution

Every leader should engage in acts of charity or helping in order to prove that they are worth it. These acts of washing the feet of prisoners, embracing victims of leprosy, and sharing meals with the homeless are just the events that would market their popularity. If the pope is the real head of the church and he does that as part of his mission, it should be considered as a model behaviour which everyone under him should follow but no other clergy does that in real life. Pope also engages in such acts depending on the occasion because washing the legs of the prisoners is an exact enacting of Jesus act of washing the legs of his disciples. Thus, in reality these acts are just the replications of what Jesus had done in the past, otherwise, the pope should have insisted on other clergies who live a sophisticated life which contradicts the Christian values.

Once when teaching this class, I had a student nearly faint during an exam. We moved the student into a back room, and called the paramedics; the student had very altered consciousness, and felt tingling and numbness in their hands and feet. When the paramedics arrived, they had the student breathe into a paper bag for a while. Within minutes, the student felt better. The paramedics thought that the student might have an anxiety disorder, and had (due to nervousness)...

There is no doubt we all have some strategies or techniques we use when we want to persuade others. There is something you want...or something you want someone to do. Maybe you're trying to change someone's opinion or the way they think. What is your preferred technique or strategy? Why does it work for you? Will it work in a formal persuasive speech? You already use persuasive techniques...let's talk about them.

For a B2C product, the smartphone is one we all have some familiarity with. When they were in their infancy around 2006-2007 the concept was great but there was a debate on the different platforms. Windows and Blackberry were early to the market. Blackberry’s success with an application based operating system quite possibly gave Google and Apple the idea for their platforms. As far as forecasting goes in this market it depends on what stage the product is in. During...

We all know that wavefunction collapse when it is observed. Uncertainty principle states that ?x?p??2. When wavefunction collapse, doesn't ?x become 0?, as we will know the location of the particle. Or does standard deviation just become smaller? After collapse occurs, what happens to the particle? Does the particle resurrect into a wavefunction form? What can be an observer that triggers wavefunction collapse? (electron wavefunction does not collapse when meeting with electrons; but some macroscopic objects seem to become observers....)...
