A few qualities of the vehicles industry incorporate prevalent quality, brand recognition, and is said to have high pay versatility of interest. As individuals get to be wealthier, they have a tendency to purchase more valuable and luxurious products. In any case, this also implies that as the wealth or individual possession declines, as does the interest for these cars. The luxurious cars can be considered as a symbol of wealth.
Eye-getting usage of their items by respectable figures in the public eye prompts expanding requests for luxury cars, and it is a growing industry with the worldwide extravagance merchandise business sector developing 9% for every year. These consumers purchase their items for fulfillment and to support their respect toward oneself instead of for ease or solace. In spite of the fact that a contention can be made is that fulfilling their respect toward oneself issues comforts them or provides for them comfort (Han, Jee, Nunes, and Drèze 20).
The luxurious car is under exceptional change and at diverse levels. For example, Toyota cars with its split personality, the stiff competition in the luxury car industry is half strong and intense. Competition is genuinely solid, yet not serious at the top of the line level for flagship store and full-priced stores. There keeps on being a growing demand in emerging markets and an increase in wealth which makes competition less savage. The interest for luxury cars in developing markets keep on growing particularly in UAE because of the development of the working class. With the developing requests for luxury cars in UAE, automotive industry members ought to be fulfilled enough not to dispatch any real hostile systems which could prompt striking back.
One of the aggressive constraints that have an incredible impact on luxury car industry engaging quality is the risk of new participants and that it is so tricky to develop a brand name that can rival any semblance of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Audi. It takes profound monetary pockets and incredible duty to make extravagance picture with the well-known brand and predominant quality. As a result, it is very difficult for new companies to gain market share and exposure. Luxury cars are known for their better quality and to some individuals, the status that they convey. New companies must form this status from the beginning, which can demonstrate difficulties without sufficient assets.
Another competitive factor can be a strong bargaining power with suppliers. A high-end car manufacturer might want to be interfaced to the luxury brand names e.g. Lexus and Audi. The automotive industry members have over suppliers is supportive of the internationally known luxury brand which is known to create quality products (Theo, et al,. 240).
In the other hand, some approaches, advancement and promotion technique set by the manufacturers are not suitable in UAE’s automobile industry, for example, one of Ferrari’s arrangement is that after the client purchase a Ferrari car the distribution ought to open a bottle of champagne for the purchaser, yet this can’t be applicable in UAE market, in light of the fact that the residents of UAE are Muslim and alcohol is banned in Islam. Some policies tend to discourage buyers since it might be too harsh or too procedural.

A Review of “Phylogenetic concordance analysis shows an emerging pathogen is novel and endemic.”
The article is a report on an experiment that describes whether pathogens are novel or endemic in controlling infectious diseases. To illustrate this scientists’ experiment on tiger salamanders and the emerging Ranavirus in Western North America. They sample sites in Canada and the US where there have been salamander die-offs. The scientists then isolate viruses in pure culture from the animals that were diseased at every site and took the salamander tissue for genetic analysis. The scientists conduct different experiments on the salamander tissues; concordance testing, and the infection experiment. Ultimately, use uninfected mice as the control group of the experiment. Ultimately, the scientists identified that pathogens are highly novel and endemic in controlling emerging infectious diseases.
An understanding of the coevolutionary relationships between the viruses and salamanders is quite important. Pathogens and hosts provide environments that are ever-changing for one another, and this creates dynamic patterns of reciprocal selection that helps in driving the coevolutionary process. Apart from human beings and species that are economically important, little is known about how diseases and infections affect populations of wildlife, but with emerging infectious diseases that affect both humans and wildlife, a comprehension of the evolutionary dynamics of wildlife diseases is becoming significant.
This study is essential since it details how pathogens are endemic and novel for the emergence of diseases among the populations of tiger salamanders in western North America. The study shows that ranaviruses are more endemic in the tiger salamanders and the bait salamanders that are infected are moved by human beings thus result in perceptible host-switches. Pathogen and host trees are non-concordant and very different, thus proving pathogen novelty. The next experiment that the scientists could undertake should involve if host defenses that are evolved can be used to treat different host populations.

Black Lives Matter and Use of Body Camera
Introduction
Over the past decades in the US, police brutality against African-American people in the US has risen steadily. Racial inequity issues have led to a lot of incoherence in various communities in the world, such as riots and demonstrations. Police brutality is the use of excessive force by police officers on its citizens. African-American people have always felt that cops and the entire criminal integrity system in the US target them as compared to different ethnicities. It prompted people to start Social Movement Organizations (SMOs) to fight for the rights of these people leading to the establishment of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement through the micro-blogging platform, Twitter. (Vanessa, 2018). The Black Lives Matters movement aims at fighting and breaking the racial oppression upon which the US has established herself (Bonilla & Rosa, 2015). It aims at fighting this new kind of racism by bringing together all the black people excluded by the Civil Rights Movements in the past (Bobo, 2011). A single idea started the movement in 2012 triggered by the demise of an African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, and the acquittal of the officer who led to the death of the former, Officer George Zimmerman (Monica, 2018).
Thesis statement: In this paper, the researcher examines the reasons why the people coined the BLM hashtag and campaign through a content analysis study as well as importance on implementing body cameras by police.
Review of Previous Research
Extent of police brutality
The statistics showing that more than half of the victims of police brutality are either Blacks or Latinos in the US prompted people to formulate the BLM. Despite the black Americans making up 12% of the US population, the criminal justice system seems to target them through fatal encounters with law enforcement agencies.
Alicia Garza, Cullors, and Opal Tometi coined the hashtag BLM on July 13, 2013, through Twitter. The trio formulated the hashtag to dissent the exoneration of George Zimmerman, a police officer, who shot death Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black American youngster (Jelani, 2017).
Bonilla-Silva (2012) argued that people no longer racially discriminate based on biological factors somewhat covert or color-blind racism. He further explains that people should not see the color of an individual skin instead of a person’s social and cultural failings, giving a new base for racism in the US based on culture. People use the skin color of an individual to determine what they are in the inside (Bonilla-Silva, 2012). Bobo (2011) analyzes the colorblind racism and the criminal justice system in the US. Even though the criminal justice system wants to serve people equally, the level of black incarceration in the US tripled between 1980 and 2000. The ration of black people to white people increased to more than 8 to 1. It implies that for every one white American arrested, more than eight black Americans also faced
Problem statement
George Floyd Murder led to a lot of discussions including why often there has been need to use force especially on black men. This led to the discussion on the Collin Kaeprick as he tried kneeling to protest against police brutality as a peaceful means yet the backlash he got led to him losing his job.
The idea on peaceful protest has always been controversial in United States. Leaders like Martin Luther advocated for peaceful protests while Malcolm X on the other hand was seen as advocating for use of violence in fighting systemic racism. 2020 seem to be the year where discussion on which form of protest will seem to yield fruits.
There have been debates that only way peace can be found is if only there are better laws preventing police Brutality
Policy Effectiveness
There has been debates on the need of body cameras so that there is collaboration when it comes to the cases of police brutality (Dorothy, 2015).
Getting to capture these cases is important especially during trials as most police officers often do not want going behind their colleagues making the trial harder.
Most police brutality cases are usually the words of the officer against the police use of cameras would help.
Use of body cameras will help show the side of the story if excessive force will be used. Blue Code of silence is the leading reason as to why most police officers get away with brutality (Anthony, 2017).
Policy Recommendation
There are various police precincts that have implemented the use of body cameras most capturing the interactions between the law enforcers as well as citizens.
All officers should be made to wear body cameras
There should be review of all footage to determine the truth of the matter in cases where citizens file cases of brutality
There is evidence that police officers are far much more lenient when dealing with protests by whites as compared to when the protesters are actually black (Alese, 2020)
Conclusion
The BLM movement plays a pivotal role in raising awareness amongst the black people in American society. The police brutality and inefficiency of the US legal system have prompted the people to fight for their rights and voice their frustrations through social movements leading to a finely tuned awareness and social cohesion.
The social movement should objectify the acquisition of support and enlightening various black communities about colorblind racism. The criminal justice system should formulate laws that can replace the neutral laws that have been a subject of racial discrimination.
The fact that the cases of African Americans getting killed keep soaring then there needs to be a candid discussion on the need for laws that will protect the African Americans from the injustices most specifically police brutality
