Utility Maximization Theory And Economics
...Israel Is the Theory of Utility Maximization Reliable for Rational Consumers to Make Decisions?
The article by Rothman about Johnson’s book focuses on the topic of how most people use “bounded rationality” to make their decisions—that is, they do not use a true scientific process when deciding what to do with their lives. Rather they make choices based on constrained circumstances: they do not push the parameters of their knowledge or seek out all options and explore all possibilities, weighing pros and cons with statistical rigor. The reason is that most people prefer to follow whatever impulse feels right after a cursory examination of the situation, without expending a great deal of energy on the matter. They may spend two weeks deciding what type of laptop or car to buy, but that is because the specs have already been quantified for them: they only need to compare the numbers and the……

Ottoman Empire And The Arabs
...Israel Sharif Hussein Ibn Saud and the Fall of the Ottoman Empire
Introduction
The Ottoman Empire was served by a strong military and centralized political structure, but with territory that stretched into both the East and the West, the Ottoman Empire was also greatly served by its geography and the diversity of this realm. At the heart of its rule was the power of Mecca and the religious significance Mecca held for the Muslims. The relationship among the Ottomans, the Arabs, the Egyptian Ibrahim Pasha and his Sons, the Sharif of Mecca and Ibn Saud in Central Arabia all contributed to the strength of the Ottoman Empire. This paper will examine these relationships, the geographical and diverse characteristics of the Empire and the role that Mecca played in holding it all together. Ultimately it will show that the Ottomans lost the Empire as a result of turmoil among radical factions in……

Nordau’s analysis of the Jewish psyche is one of victimhood: “Everywhere, where the Jews have settled in comparatively large numbers among the nations, Jewish misery prevails” (Nordau, 1897, p. 1). The Jew is described as being without a home, a land, a nation, a state of his own. Even when he has been emancipated in a country, it has only been by legal terms and not by sentiment: he is still regarded socially as a pariah, an outsider, something foreign to the national body politic. Thus the psyche of the Jew is “Ghetto”—i.e., filled with “shame” and “humiliation” (Nordau, 1897, p. 3). Every Jew is thus psychologically oppressed, downtrodden and crushed and lives in a state of abject misery.
