  • There have been different interpretations of the meaning of the General Welfare clause.
  • General Welfare clause arises from two distinct disagreements: The first concerns whether the General Welfare clause grants an independent spending power or is a restriction upon the taxing power; the second disagreement pertains to what exactly is meant by the phrase "general welfare. "
  • Illustrate how the General Welfare clause of the Constitution is applied to public policy

• "The General Act of the Conference"

• Intergenerational Conflict

  • Intergenerational conflict refers to the conflict between older and younger generations as they compete for jobs and resources.
  • The conflict perspective of aging thus emphasizes competition between generations.
  • According to the conflict perspective of aging, generations are competing over jobs.
  • As jobs became increasingly scarce, younger and older generations both felt pressure to compete over available resources, enabling competition between the generational divide.
  • Members of the powerful generation act as gatekeepers and orchestrate the distribution of resources and powers to be in line with their own interests, often at the exclusion of the needs of other individuals and generations.

• Precision

  • Almost anything can be described either in general words or in specific ones.
  • General words and specific words are not opposites.
  • Specific words are a subset of general words.
  • Here's an example of general and specific words in a sentence:
  • In scientific, technical, and other specialized fields, writers often need to make general points, describe general circumstances, or provide general guidance for action.

• Mendelian Crosses

  • Plants used in first-generation crosses were called P0, or parental generation one, plants.
  • These offspring were called the F1, or the first filial (filial = offspring, daughter or son), generation.
  • He then collected and grew the seeds from the F1 plants to produce the F2, or second filial, generation.
  • Mendel's experiments extended beyond the F2 generation to the F3 and F4 generations, and so on, but it was the ratio of characteristics in the P0−F1−F2 generations that were the most intriguing and became the basis for Mendel's postulates.
  • The resulting hybrids in the F1 generation all had violet flowers.

• Posting

  • Carrying out of these instructions is known as posting, a procedure that takes information recorded via journal entries (or journalizing) in the General or Special Journals and transfers it to the General Ledger.
  • In cross-indexing a notation is made for each entry that indicates which general or special journal account the general ledger entry came from.

  • The general ledger contains all entries from both the General Journal and the Special Journals.
  • Describe how posting affects the General Journal, Special Journal and General Ledger

• Pasteur and Spontaneous Generation

  • Such ideas were in contradiction to that of univocal generation: effectively exclusive reproduction from genetically related parent(s), generally of the same species.
  • Today spontaneous generation is generally accepted to have been decisively dispelled during the 19th century by the experiments of Louis Pasteur.
  • This was one of the last and most important experiments disproving the theory of spontaneous generation.
  • Ultimately, the ideas of spontaneous generation were displaced by advances in germ theory and cell theory.
  • Disproof of the traditional ideas of spontaneous generation is no longer controversial among professional biologists.

• Electric Generators

  • Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy; they induce an EMF by rotating a coil in a magnetic field.
  • Electric generators are devices that convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
  • A generator forces electric charge (usually carried by electrons) to flow through an external electrical circuit.
  • Generators illustrated in this Atom look very much like the motors illustrated previously.
  • In fact, a motor becomes a generator when its shaft rotates.
