Insurance is summarized as a means of protection from a financial loss which is an extremely important component in our society today. The concept of insurance can be dated as far back as 1681 and has been constantly changing ever since. There are many different types of insurance that people know about and are very common in the United States including car, life, health, renters, and home insurance. On top of those policies, there are new objects or actions that are not covered and must have new policies developed specifically for them. This research is very helpful because I intend on becoming an actuary. Actuary’s work with insurance companies and must predict and adjust to any changes in the coverage. The research that I did is a small part of an actuary’s process that they must do every day. In the following exploratory synthesis essay, I will consider eight resources in relation to the concepts of space travel, drones, terrorism, self-driving cars, and longevity, which are related to my research question, “what …show more content…
This research was helpful because I was able to learn more about actuaries and actually do some of the research actuaries must do to create insurance policies. I did find a few sources that were very ineffective, but I avoided them and decided to use sources that were productive. There isn’t necessarily a solution to this except that insurance companies must continue to adapt to the changes in our society to create the best policies for everybody. I hope this topic will cause people to discuss the future and how it will affect every aspect of society instead of just

“Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective” an essay written by Leslie Marmon Silko brings to life the diversified facets of the Pueblo Indian culture, sharing with readers the infrastructure of Puebloan dialect and folklore. Likewise, Amy Tan’s essay “Mother Tongue” details a series of prominent reflections of the nurturing voice responsible for constructing the author’s perceptions of the world. Both of these essays share a corresponding theme of the influence one’s culture can have on can have on individual styles of communication.

Each essay embodies commonalities, as well as, differences in the nonfiction elements used to depict the common theme.
Specifically, crime shows have given us, the TV audience as a whole, scripts or an expectation of what will/should happen in a variety of situations. It leads people to think about what is appropriate and what isn’t in terms of how the results of these situations play out. For example, in the CSI franchise, as the plot unfolds in each episode, it takes forensic evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, to convict the villain. Before the technological breakthroughs made in the fields of biology and forensics, juries relied more on circumstantial evidence, and eyewitness accounts to prove someone was guilty. This is just one example of how crime shows have changed the general representations of what is the “correct” way to solve a crime.
A synthesis essay should be organized so that others can understand the sources and evaluate your comprehension of them and their presentation of specific data, themes, etc.
In Democracy and Education, John Dewey, described as the father of experience-derived education, gave his opinion of how democracy and education should interact in order to create a sound democratic society. He wrote of how a democracy cannot flourish if education is tuned for the masses or if only a select few can get higher education. He also discussed how the “three R’s” (reading, writing, and arithmetic) are faulty, and how the curriculum must help students develop the ability to tackle social issues in the “real world.” However, high schools today are not preparing citizens to achieve Dewey’s vision; rather, they are moving farther away from it.
In the nineteenth-century women were oppressed from society and they had to stay home as housewives, cleaning, cooking and doing the household work (Jamil, 2009). Their rights or value in society were restricted and confined. Although this is true, these concepts has drastically changed over time. Women are more independent and really try to better themselves by studying and working. In literature, we are able to view the roles of women years ago. Women expectations during that time period was to be married and bare children. This is exactly what happens is the short stories The “Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant and “The Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin. The authors display women as repressed and unhappy with their lives during the nineteenth century. In both stories, the authors utilizes symbolism and irony to portray the story of two women that have different stories, but end tragically.
Despite the world being full of diverse people with varying accomplishments and skill sets, people oftentimes assume the qualities and traits of an individual based purely on the stereotypes set forth by society. Although these stereotypes are unavoidable, an individual can be liberated, empowered and ultimately overcome these stereotypes by obtaining an advanced education.
It is said that Western civilization had been primarily male dominated and as a result as diminished the feminine. Women’s roles in society have changed drastically over the past decades.

Insurance companies exist to make money. They are not concerned with your needs which include great coverage at an affordable price. Their agenda consists of offering superfluous offers, causing you as a customer to lose money on frivolous items that won’t ever benefit you.
Television has affected every aspect of life in society, radically changing the way individuals live and interact with the world. However, change is not always for the better, especially the influence of television on political campaigns towards presidency. Since the 1960s, presidential elections in the United States were greatly impacted by television, yet the impact has not been positive. Television allowed the public to have more access to information and gained reassurance to which candidate they chose to vote for. However, the media failed to recognize the importance of elections. Candidates became image based rather than issue based using a “celebrity system” to concern the public with subjects regarding debates (Hart and Trice). Due to “hyperfamiliarity” television turned numerous people away from being interested in debates between candidates (Hart and Trice). Although television had the ability to reach a greater number of people than it did before the Nixon/Kennedy debate, it shortened the attention span of the public, which made the overall process of elections unfair, due to the emphasis on image rather than issue.
Insurance is as ancient as Babylon. The first policy dates back to 2100 B.C.; specifically, it is the Code of Hammurabi. A loan from a trader made certain his valuable cargo traveled safe from the harm of thieves or storms (Marples). The term changed drastically through the ages, and insurance is now a mess of premiums, tiers, and co-payments. It may most commonly be known as a negative number on a check stub that ensures health and safety. There exists not one company that covers everything on just one plan, but a step forward may change that.
Therefore, insurance companies need to adapt to these new innovations in order to support increasing demands and expectations from their customers.

After the terrorist attack at London Bridge and Borough Market, Theresa May has promised to step up the fight against Islamist terrorism, saying “enough is enough.” Introduction Some researchers support that the message is the story leaders want voters to hear and the narrative that supports what they are trying to do. This view is very similar to the research about media image creation. Based on it, this article is a consideration of how to create a political media image (or leadership).
