Does a gender earnings gap exist in Norway and the United States? Overtime, the male to female pay gap has reduced. As jobs have become more gender neutral and industrialized, males and females have been given equal rights to work. However, despite these seemingly dramatic generalizations, the pay between females and males has not equalized. It appears that a woman still faces significant obstacles to receive the same pay and respect that her male counterpart is awarded. To understand more about the gender pay gap, we must also understand the attitudes and behaviors in the work place. Adding this perspective as well analyzing the time in which a woman might be away from work to give attention to motherhood are all factors that may contribute to the gender earnings gap. Understanding these factors assist in the efforts to achieve wage equality and reduce wage differentials between males and females. A cross cultural analysis between the United States and Norway will provide additional valuable insights. The culture and economy in Norway present a stark difference to the United States. In order to better evaluate the problems and to define solutions for the earnings gap, it is essential to analyze an economy that inherently gives many more benefits to the working class.

A Discussion and Analysis of the Impact of Financial Regulations Before and After the 2008 Great Recession

Regulations in the financial sector of the United States have had the same purpose of protecting the economy and consumers since their modern establishment.

Regulations in the financial sector of the United States have had the same purpose of protecting the economy and consumers since their modern establishment. Deregulation in the 1980’s led to an environment that allowed banks to take on high risk choices. This, among other economic circumstances, lead to the 2008 Great Recession that brought down the United States and global economies. The government was forced to act with bailouts to keep many big banks from shutting down. Some were bailed out and others failed to keep the economy stable. In June 2009, the recession was over, but the recovery process was not. To help prevent another crash, the Dodd Frank Act was passed in July 2010. The act is a long and complex legislation with the main purpose of enforcing regulations to keep banks in check to prevent another recession. The Act’s enforcement was felt immediately, forcing businesses to adapt to its regulation standards. Opinions on Dodd-Frank are mixed. Some see it serving its purpose with regulating the financial sector and others see it being a costly burden that has slowed the progress of the economy. As the economy continues to evolve, we can expect changes to the regulations on the financial sector which will continue to cause businesses to adapt, change, and modify their operations.

Thesis: Timeline of Changes in Mammography Guidelines in the United States

Description

Breast cancer affects about 12% of women in the US. Arguably, it is one of the most advertised cancers. Mammography became a popular tool of breast cancer screening in the 1970s, and patient-geared guidelines came from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the US Preventative Task Force (USPSTF).

Breast cancer affects about 12% of women in the US. Arguably, it is one of the most advertised cancers. Mammography became a popular tool of breast cancer screening in the 1970s, and patient-geared guidelines came from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the US Preventative Task Force (USPSTF). This research focuses on ACS guidelines, as they were the earliest as well as the most changed guidelines. Mammography guidelines changed over time due to multiple factors. This research has tracked possible causes of those changes. Research began with an extensive literature search of clinical trials, the New York Times and the Washington Post archives, systematic reviews, ACS and USPSTF archives.
