(Vertical records will be depicted in a different post.) An in-line rundown may comprise of a lot of words, expressions, or conditions, or a blend of the three. The least difficult in-line list is one that comprises of single word things: ââ¬Å"The shades of the American banner are red, white, and blue.â⬠(Style guides vary on whether the comma going before and, called a sequential comma-or, some of the time, an Oxford comma-is vital, however reliable use assists journalists with abstaining from making equivocally composed sentences.) Progressively unpredictable records welcome mistakes. For instance, in the accompanying sentence, the linguistic structure of the rundown things isn't predictable: ââ¬Å"Children brought up in a conventional two-parent family unit will in general be genuinely and sincerely more advantageous, less inclined to utilize medications and liquor, take part in wrongdoing, or become pregnant outside of marriage.â⬠One can investigate the sentence by changing over it into an early on express followed by a vertical rundown. Note how the things are not equal in structure: Kids brought up in a conventional two-parent family unit will in general be genuinely and sincerely more advantageous more averse to utilize medications and liquor take part in wrongdoing become pregnant outside of marriage. An in fact right update follows: Youngsters brought up in a customary two-parent family unit will in general be truly and genuinely more beneficial less inclined to utilize medications and liquor less inclined to participate in wrongdoing less inclined to get pregnant outside of marriage. In any case, the reiteration of the expression ââ¬Å"less likely toâ⬠is diverting and is repetitive to ââ¬Å"tend to be,â⬠and facilitate correction of this vertical rundown is prescribed on the off chance that it is to be changed over back to an in-line list. Since the four components in this sentence are not reliably bolstered by action words or action word phrases, it is ideal to isolate the principal thing from the remainder of the things, bringing about a sentence comprising of two components that incorporate models the primary model remaining all alone, and the other three held as a three-thing list: ââ¬Å"Children brought up in a customary two-parent family unit will in general be truly and sincerely more beneficial and are more averse to utilize medications and liquor, take part in wrongdoing, or become pregnant outside of marriage.â⬠On the off chance that at least one components in an in-line list incorporate a comma, a more grounded accentuation mark, the semicolon, must be utilized to explain the association of the sentence. This is genuine when at any rate one component incorporates a solitary comma that sets off, for instance, the name of a city and the name of a state, as in this model: Irregular names of urban areas and towns incorporate Cut and Shoot, Texas; Truth or Consequences, New Mexico; and Rough and Ready, California. Semicolons are additionally called for when at least one things in an in-line list are themselves records, as appeared here: Strange names of urban communities and towns incorporate Cut and Shoot, Truth or Consequences, and Rough and Ready; Embarrass, Uncertain, and Waterproof; and Accident, Hazard, and Protection. Note that albeit a few scholars use semicolons to isolate things in a rundown when the things are long and complex, doing so is pointless. Accordingly, the mediating accentuation checks in the accompanying model are securely changed over to commas: ââ¬Å"Uncertainties remember the instability for oil and gas costs; worries about the effect of financial endorses in Russia to U.S. what's more, European markets; inquiries concerning lulls in China; and the impacts on U.S. financial approach coming about because of the move in power in the U.S. Senate in January 2015.â⬠This is particularly evident if an extra provision follows the last rundown thing, making the suggestion that the proviso applies just to the last thing. Here, it is important to change over the semicolons after capacity and investors to commas: ââ¬Å"If the CEO isn't eager to focus on the notice signs posted by the hazard the executives work; the prize framework isn't adequately offset with the drawn out premiums of investors; or the board isn't posing extreme inquiries about the presumptions and dangers fundamental the methodology, it isn't almost certainly chance administration will have an effect at the significant second when a contrarian voice is needed.â⬠Otherwise, the expression starting ââ¬Å"it isn't probably chance administration . . .â⬠would have showed up (in any event when previously read) to relate just to the expression starting ââ¬Å"the board isn't posing extreme inquiries . . . .â⬠Likewise, semicolons are a bit much while isolating just two arrangements of rundown things, as opposed to at least three. In the accompanying model, or is adequate to recognize the two records, and the semicolon ought to be precluded: ââ¬Å"This technique may traverse a few offices for instance, legitimate, acquisition, and account; orâ marketing, deals, and client service.â⬠Likewise, to help in recognizing things in a rundown, the things are here and there went before by consecutive numbers (or, once in a while, lowercase letters) trailed by a nearby bracket as opposed to a period, as in this model: ââ¬Å"The three types of rock are 1) molten, 2) changeable, and 3) sedimentary.â⬠This strategy for association can be valuable for specifying and setting off complex rundown things (or, on account of letters, offering alternatives), yet it is normally pointless, or a vertical rundown (without numbers or letters) might be a superior choice.

It discovers its most extreme hypothesis in crafted by George Berkeley.â Berkeley broadly holds that see that nothing exists without observation â⬠ââ¬Ëto be is to be perceivedââ¬â¢, as the adage states.â The truth of items is guaranteed by their projection onto or inside the awareness of various specialists. Optimism here is spoken to by Berkeley who is the preeminent defender of an unadulterated vision in the western philosophical tradition.â Similarly, he is the main significant immaterialist mastermind in his time of Enlightenment philosophy.â The job of the perceiver is the last referent in the equation.â This is in accordance with the arrival to science and the re-assignment of old style esteems that portrayed the Enlightenment worldview.â Empiricism is going by John Locke, the accentuation here is accordingly not as much on the perceiver for what it's worth on the apparent objects.â Within the two customs of rational idea there is extraordinary accentuation on observation as the key deciding procedure in the achievement of the real world (or an exact portrayal thereof). At the point when observation is the way to legitimate request there are two principle parts of issues that must be represented, figment and delusion.â Illusion is an issue or trouble with the capacity of tangible information and daydream, being an issue with the seeing mind.â â The resistance between a psychological and perceptual issue doesnââ¬â¢t hold up too in contemporary logical idea, anyway it appears to be important to incorporate these models of thought to explain the dreamer empiricist banter around 1700s.â Another confining concern is the epistemological character of the whole dialogue.â It is explicitly a drive toward conviction that powered a lot of insightful request. Hallucinations, as in oneââ¬â¢s recognitions infer conflicting things, have frequently entranced rationalists from Plato through Descartes and even until today.â In Berkeleyââ¬â¢s work Three Dialogs among Hylas and Philonous, he talks about various perceptual inconsistencies utilizing Philonous as his mouthpiece.â The issue is expressed that on the off chance that one places a hot deliver water the temperature feels cooler and hotter on the off chance that one places a virus turn in a similar water (Berkeley 142-143). This is done inside the setting of Berkeleyââ¬â¢s visionary task which is to expel traits from the object and depict things as far as their reality in perception.â He begins by referencing the constraints of the faculties: they can't surmise from perception to causes and are bound to that which is quickly seen (Berkeley 138).â thusly, he contends that since there is an inconsistency in the view of a similar item. The ââ¬Ëtemperatureââ¬â¢ of the water must not be a formally dressed characteristic that exists inside the water.â Otherwise, the water must be without a moment's delay hot and cold and this is dismissed as a preposterousness (Berkeley 143). Hylas mentions the criticism that while the sensation might be in the perceiver, the quality that offers ascend to it should be inside the object.â This is countered by expressing that such a quality has no bearing as we are aware of it just by our intellect.â That is, we have expelled it from any kind of corporeality.â He writes in his rules that thoughts of one God and thoughts of man are both liable to being thoughts, they can't exist ââ¬Å"otherwise than in a seeing mindâ⬠(Berkeley 74). Lockeââ¬â¢s way to deal with this specific issue is tended to in an alternate manner in his Essays Concerning Human Understanding.â While Berkeley depicts the vibes of warmth and cold as similar to pleasantness and sharpness or all the more by and large joy and torment, Locke considers the circumstance of temperature as practically equivalent to the properties of motion.â Locke holds the view that warmth and cold are really a type of movement at brief level (Locke 2.8.21). This is, obviously, a prototypical view for the cutting edge logical perspective on temperature where warmth is spoken to by low-level vibration of particles.â The quicker the vibration the higher the temperature.â With this model, what we feel in the pail model is the deceleration of particles in the warm hand and the increasing speed of particles in the cool hand.â The differential temperatures see to average themselves out.â This model is well in accordance with the contemporary palette, be that as it may, it neglects to address Berkeleyââ¬â¢s point of view which eradicates the idea of an inalienable quality. The issue of fancy is raised, again in Berkeleyââ¬â¢s Three Dialogs among Hylas and Philonous.â Hylas sets, ââ¬Å"What contrast is there between genuine articles and figments shaped by the creative mind . . . since they are all similarly in the mind?â⬠(Berkeley 197).â The appropriate response comes that ââ¬Å"ideas framed by the creative mind are black out and indistinctâ⬠(Berkeley 197).â This might be a lowered reference to Descartes interest for ââ¬Ëclear and distinctââ¬â¢ thoughts as the establishment of diagnostic realities. Locke examines this in his Essays Concerning Human Understanding.â He recommends that mind produces blends of thoughts while judgment isolates them (Locke 2.11.2).â He composes, ââ¬Å"How much the flaw of precisely separating thoughts one from another falsehoods, either in the dulness or issues of the organs of sense; or need of intensity, exercise, or consideration in the understandingâ⬠(Locke 2.11.2). Besides, he recommends that thoughts must connection up with things.â Sensation is created by the congruity of the item with the perceiver (4.4.4). The separation between the two scholars is hence that of their perspectives on the essential job of perception.â For Berkeley it might appear that Locke is by and large excessively distrustful on the job of the perceiver.â For in the considering Locke the psyche isn't the cause yet the faculties which shape the mind.â For Locke, we are conceived clean slate, a clear record to be dazzled by our tactile information. Our brain takes up the activity of molding sensation after that point.â This is to state with Locke we are in an a posteriori epistemology though with Berkeley we are a priori.â The issue for Berkeley could accordingly be described as finding the establishment of information on the persistently moving skyline of sensation as opposed to the static, steady universe of ideas.â In a way this is similar to the uniqueness between Heraclitus who composed that ââ¬Å"nothings stays fixedâ⬠and Parmenides who held that ââ¬Å"Being is unchangingâ⬠(Wheelwright 70,90).â The issue has originated from a long history and various types of this debate will probably proceed with interminable interminability.

If I stayed on campus, I could work all week and finish up a few midterm papers. If I went on vacation, I could relax in the sun. In the end, I decided to head to my parents home in the suburbs, and I couldnt be happier with my decision. Photo from Rachel Hernandez Being home this week has allowed me to spend valuable time with my parents, time that I otherwise would not have gotten. The truth is that growing up, especially in your late teen and early twenties, is a busy time. As a college student, it can be all too easy to lose touch with family members. Heading home with no set-in-stone plans was absolutely amazing. Photo from Rachel Hernandez Whether it was going for long walks with my dad or running to five grocery stores with my mom, being able to create new memories with my parents was priceless.

I am asking youbegging youto appreciate the time you have left with your family. You have so much time ahead of you to spend with your family, but it will never quite be the same as it is now. Seize the chance that is right in front of you and spend time with the people you love. Ultimately, my point is this: Do not rush your last few months living under your parents roof.

During the 1970s, the Business world became aware of damages engendered by the human activity, in particular environmental damages. For this reason appeared the notion of à « sustainable development à » in the Brundland report (1987). This notion can be defined as the mean to assure the development of the current generation without compromising the development of future generations. The Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) are in a sense the contribution of companies to respect the stakes of the sustainable development. According to Carroll (1983), ââ¬Å"corporate social responsibility involves the conduct of a business so that it is economically profitable, law abiding, ethical and socially supportiveâ⬠. The Corporate Social Responsibilities of companies is a sort of self-regulation based on social, environmental and economic concerns. This match the ââ¬Å"triple bottom lineâ⬠theory: ââ¬Å"People, Planet, Profitâ⬠. Over the years, Corporate Social Responsibil ity expanded and became very important in the Business organisation and a large number of companies take part in CSR initiatives. In 2004, approximately 90% of the 500 best performing companies according to Fortune magazine had invested in CSR efforts.

This question is relevant, in that it asks us to reflect on how simple commodities such as tea can distinguish social differences between classes, both past and present; it also allows us to ponder on how tea was popularized into the daily-consumed beverage it is to this day with people of all class backgrounds. In her book A Necessary Luxury: Tea in Victorian England (2008), Julie E. Fromer discusses how in 19th century England ââ¬Å"new identification categories and new hierarchies of status developed along lines stemming fromâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦From the illustration, the audience can see that these powerful men have no cares, worries, or concerns at all; theyââ¬â¢re not worried about getting food on the table for their families. They are only concerned with having a good time with the somewhat disgusted women in the painting while they consume heavy amounts of tea, symbolizing their refinery and high social class status. Published in 1824, Edward Villiers Rippingilleââ¬â¢s The Travellersââ¬â¢ Breakfast (Pettigrew, 77) illustrates members of the literary circle that idealized Sir Charles Elton, including Coleridge, Southey, and Dorothy and William Wordsworth, as they have breakfast in an inn, with the tea urn focused in the middle of the table. According to Mrs. Beeton in the 1879 edition of her Book of Household Management, ââ¬Å"ââ¬â¢At Homeââ¬â¢ teas and ââ¬ËTea Receptionsââ¬â¢ were large afternoon events for up to two hundred guests. Tea was laid out on a large table in the corner of the drawing or dining room, and servants would be on hand to pour and hand round the cups of tea, sugar, cream or milk, cakes, and bread and butter,â⬠(Pettigrew, 107). Beeton reinforces the notion that these products were expected to be present at the tea table for afternoon tea with the upper classes. For the upper-classes, afternoon tea could be taken out to the garden.

In it, the history of knowledge, beliefs, skills and cultures of humanity can be found as some of the earliest aspects of human beings that offer a distinction between man and other creatures. For instance, education has been the mainstay of many communitiesââ¬â¢ earliest practices this is seen through efforts by such communitiesââ¬â¢ generations to propagate its cultural, social, traditions, morality, religion, knowledge and skills to the next generation. We will write a custom essay sample on A Narrative Essay about Education or any similar topic only for you Order Now Such informal efforts are what form the basis of the modern education system (Farrant J.S, 1980). Education can therefore be said to be the process of inculcating worthwhile knowledge, skills and attitudes to individuals with the main aim of permanently and positively changing them. This paper will implore the various dimensions of education, its dynamics, its use its development, the key players, problem it faces, its benefits and lastly an independent position taken in respect to the worldââ¬â¢s trends of education. Uses of education Education (teaching/ learning) can be grouped into three dimensions i.e. formal non-formal and informal dimensions. The formal dimension encompasses learning that takes place in school classrooms; non-formal encompasses learning that takes place in school clubs, societies, games and sports while the informal takes place in unstructured informal interactions between learners themselves or with other people (Farrant J.S, 1980). However, whether offered in a formal, non-formal or even informal dimension, education (learning) process needs to address the following four main aspects in order to be meaningful and impacting. These aspects include; who will be educated? What institution will control education? Who will offer the financial support? Lastly, why do certain get different quality of education? For instance, many jurisdictions have struggled formulate education systems that seeks to fully put into consideration the inherent needs of its population. Therefore, they formulate schools and institutions; they offer budgetary allocation and set standards of placing various groups of students into respective educational levels according to their academic abilities (Theodore, 1994). It will be hollow talk and a mere waste of resources if the human kind continues putting much of their ideological and material efforts to a thing that does not offer any substantial value to their lives. Education as seen earlier in the introduction part is as old as the human origin and hence its value to human beings is enormous. According to Susan Bassettââ¬â¢s article, ââ¬Å"what is education for?â⬠(The education revolution, 2007) education is about children growing up into adults who will have a sense of understanding in the world they inhabit. This education will therefore make them internalize the essence behind the casting of votes in the elections, why things like preventive healthcare are necessary, why history remains important in the modern society and so on.

This paper studies how science and medicine have combined to make the process of a blood transfusion both safer and less necessary. The paper looks at dangers involved with blood transfusions, and introduces a new procedure that should improve the safety of transfusing blood. The workings of the procedure are explained and its strengths and weaknesses are evaluated. It then moves on to other measures that can be taken, in making blood transfusions safer. It also deals with the use of these developments to Jehovahs Witnesses. Blood transfusions can save a persons life, but if the blood is not carefully checked for impurities such as the HIV virus, the transfusion can also take someones life. However, a new procedure may help virtually eliminate any risk of contamination of transfusion blood by viruses such as HIV. Essentially, a chemical has been developed by scientists in California which, when exposed to ultraviolet light, binds to the genetic material in blood and the resulting bonds prevent the two strands of DNAs double helix from unzipping, thereby preventing germs from replicating.

Many organizations are working towards reducing the rate of employee turnover. The only way organizations can retain employees is through ensuring they are comfortable at their place of work. To be comfortable, there are various demands made by individual employees depending on the nature of their work. To fight for better working conditions, employees come together to form unions. The organizations have also crafted a human resource management department that works with the worker unions to ensure workers are treated in line with their preferences. There are common factors that often determine employee satisfaction across all industries. The major factor that determines employee retention is remuneration. Whenever an employee feels that they are not well compensated for their services to the organization, they will always leave for companies that pay accor ding to their expectations. Another factor is the overall conditions at the place of work. An employee may feel mistreated by management or even by their colleagues. The organization culture may be unfavorable to some employees by making them slaves of the seniors. Other organizational cultures may hinder communication from juniors to seniors or even among the employees. Employees in such organizations may feel isolated and even unwanted as they cannot communicate their grievances to the seniors. Employees can also feel unappreciated when they or their work is taken for granted. Harassment by the management can also lead to employee turnover. When employees are constantly subjected to abuse by management, they start to dislike their place of work. Their productivity is lowered and they eventually leave to a place where they and their work are appreciated. Another factor revealed by employees is job location. Most employees indicated that they could prefer to exit their current emplo yment if they are transferred to other locations, especially areas of hardship or rural areas. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-49850397501893019472020-03-03T01:25:00.001-08:002020-03-03T01:25:03.651-08:00Things a Successful School Principal Does DifferentlyThings a Successful School Principal Does Differently Being a principal has its challenges. It is not an easy profession. It is a high-stress job that most people are not equipped to handle. A principalââ¬â¢s job description is broad. They have their hands in virtually everything related to students, teachers, and parents. They are the chief decision-maker in the building. A successful school principal does things differently. As with any other profession, there are those principals who excel at what they do and those who lack the skills necessary to be successful. Most principals are in the middle of that range. The best principals have a particular mindset and a leadership philosophy that allows them to be successful. They utilize a combination of strategies that make themselves and others around them better thus allowing them to be successful. Surround Themselves with Good Teachers Hiring good teachers makes a principalââ¬â¢s job easier in virtually every aspect. Good teachers are solid disciplinarians, they communicate well with parents, and they provide their students with a quality education. Each of these things makes a principalââ¬â¢s job easier. As a principal, you want a building full of teachers that you know are doing their job. You want teachers that are 100% committed to being effective teachers in every aspect. You want teachers who not only do their job well but are willing to go above and beyond the core requirements to ensure that every student is successful. Simply put, surrounding yourself with good teachers makes you look better, makes your job easier, and allows you to manage other aspects of your job. Lead by Example As a principal, you are the leader of the building. Every person in the building is watching how you go about your daily business. Build a reputation for being the hardest worker in your building. You should almost always be the first one to arrive and the last one to leave. It is essential that others know how much you love your job. Keep a smile on your face, maintain a positive attitude, and handle adversity with grit and perseverance. Always maintain professionalism. Be respectful to everyone and embrace differences. Be the model for fundamental qualities such as organization, efficiency, and communication. Think Outside the Box Never put limitations on yourself and your teachers. Be resourceful and find creative ways to meet needs when issues arise. Do not be afraid to think outside the box. Encourage your teachers to do the same. Successful school principals are elite problem solvers. Answers do not always come easy.à You have to utilize the resources creatively you have or figure out ways to get new resources to meet your needs. A terrific problem solver never dismisses another personââ¬â¢s idea or suggestion. Instead, they seek out and value input from others cooperatively creating solutions to problems. Work With People As a principal, you have to learn to work with all different types of people. Each person has their own personality, and you must learn to work effectively with each type. The best principals are able to read people well, figure out what motivates them, and strategically plant seeds that will eventually blossom into success. Principals must work with every stakeholder in the community. They should be skilled listeners who value feedback and use it to make recognizable changes. Principals should be on the front lines, working with the stakeholders to improve both their community and school. Delegate Appropriately Being a principal can be overwhelming. This is often amplified as principals by nature are typically control freaks. They have high expectations on how things should be done making it difficult to let others take the lead role. Successful principals are able to get past this because they realize there is value in delegating. First of all, it shifts the burden of responsibility from you, freeing you up to work on other projects. Next, you can strategically make individuals responsible for projects that you know fit their strengths and will help build their confidence. Finally, delegating reduces your overall workload, which in turn keeps your stress level at a minimum. Create and Enforce Proactive Policies Every principal should be an adept policy writer. Each school is different and has their own unique needs in terms of policy. Policy works best when it is written and enforced in such a way that very few want to take the chance to receive the attached consequences. Most principals will spend a large part of their day dealing with student discipline. Policy should be seen as a deterrent to distractions that interrupt learning. Successful principals are proactive in their approach to policy writing and student discipline. They recognize potential problems and address them before they become a significant issue. Look for Long-Term Solutions to Problems A quick fix is seldom the right solution. Long-term solutions require more time and effort in the beginning. However, they typically save you time in the long run, because you wonââ¬â¢t have to deal with it as much in the future. Successful principals think two to three steps ahead. They address the little picture by fixing the large picture. They look beyond the specific circumstance to get to the cause of the problem.à They understand that taking care of the core problem may head off several smaller issues down the road, potentially saving both time and money. Become an Information Hub Principals have to experts in many different areas including content and policy. Successful principals are a wealth of information. They stay up-to-date on the latest educational research, technology, and trends. Principals should at least have a working knowledge of the content being taught in each grade for which they are responsible. They follow educational policy at both the state and locals areas. They keep their teachers informed and are able to offer tips and strategies concerning best classroom practices. Teachers respect principals who understand the content they are teaching. They appreciate when their principal offers well thought out, applicable solutions to problems they may be having in the classroom. Maintain Accessibility As a principal, it is easy to get so busy that you shut your office door to try and get a few things done. This is perfectly acceptable as long as it isnââ¬â¢t done a regular basis. Principals must be accessible to all stakeholders including teachers, staff members, parents, and especially students. Every principal should have an open door policy. Successful principals understand that building and maintaining healthy relationships with everyone you work with is a key component to having an outstanding school. Being in high demand comes with the job. Everyone will come to you when they need something or when there is a problem. Always make yourself available, be a good listener, and most importantly follow through on a solution. Students are the First Priority Successful principals keep students as their number one priority. They never deviate from that path. All expectations and actions are directed to better students both individually and as a whole. Student safety, health, and academic growth are our most fundamental duties. Every decision that is made has to take the impact it will make on a student or group of students into account. We are there to nurture, counsel, discipline, and educate each and every student. As a principal, you must never lose sight of the fact that students should always be our focal point. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-42377250831499138492020-02-15T16:49:00.001-08:002020-02-15T16:49:02.942-08:00Business culture Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1750 wordsBusiness culture - Research Paper Example USA and South Korea have maintained a very strong and supportive relation among each other since 1960. The multicultural relation among these two countries has started since the Korean War during the early fifties. During the Korean War US played a very vital role towards South Korea to give them the financial and political support towards the establishment of new developed nation. Since then South Korea has grown fast and it has reduced its dependency upon the United States of America. United States is one of the largest oversees trading partners of South Korea, In 1998 due to the dictatorship of the ruling party United Democratic Front and Combined Force Command (CFC), the relation among US and South Korea has faced some frictions which made South Korea to divert their way from US. However, in 2007 June South Korea and United States of America have signed a free trade agreement (FTA) which helped them to sustain the positive trade relation among the two countries. Business relation has become very strong among these two countries but if the focus is given thoroughly towards the nature of doing business and the socio-cultural differences between these two countries then, it can be seen that, the way of doing business in each of these countries are totally different. It is very important to understand the socio-economic structure of any country to do business or to set up a new industry. South Koreaââ¬â¢s business culture is very much different than the US. South Korea is the fourth largest developed economy among the Asian countries, but it would be a big mistake to presume what worked for Japan, China or any other Asian Countries are same for South Korea. In other hand United Sates of American (USA) is a mixture of many races, cultures and religions, it is the best known cosmopolitan country in the world.

The Florentine Renaissance became a cult of beauty, love and gratification of the senses, and Botticelli in both The Birth of Venus and Spring (Primavera) reflected this delicate and romantic Renaissance style, with Venus rising from the sea on an open shell, unclothed but demure, and later clothed at her coronation. Because these two paintings are different sizes, it was thought they did not belong together, but further analysis shows enough similarities to make them a set (ââ¬Å"Analysis;â⬠ââ¬Å"Allegoryâ⬠) At a time in Italian history when Florentine artists were enamored of mythology, Botticelli captured the essence of the myth. The elements in any composition are line, shape, color, pattern, value, form, texture, space. Those specifically attributed to the Sistine Chapel are 1) lines ââ¬â direction of lines leads eye to specific ar ea of painting; 2) shape ââ¬â height and width of shape creates an illusion on the ceiling panels; 3) space ââ¬â the relationship of positive and negative space affects impact and unity; 4) color ââ¬â bright, dark, intenseââ¬âimplies texture through color, line, shading, repetition and pattern. Michelangelo began painting the Sistine Chapel in 1508 and completed it in 1512, almost single-handedly. The four main elements that define the vaulted ceiling of the Chapel are, as noted, line, shape, color, and pattern. The ceiling is painted in panels, with circles., squares, and triangles framing the different panels. Colors, bright and dark, lead the eye to the focus in each panel. The technique is fresco. There are nine central panels illustrating and interpreting stories from Genesis in a specific pattern ("Michelangelo"). Albrecht Drer Albrecht Drer was a painter and engraver who was best known for his woodcuts and prints. His etching work was meticulous with special focus on color in his paintings. He was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci's studies of the human figure and applied Leonardo's proportions to his own figures. Finished form and richness of conception, as well as perspective and proportion are characteristics of his work along with color and energy (Ponich). Rembrandt Rembrandt van Rijin is noted for his transfiguration of experience into art. It is his inner emotions as represented in his art that makes him unique. He was highly influenced by Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titan in their depiction of the human form, but he is a multi-faceted artist, excelling as a painter and an inspired graphic artist and etcher. He painted, drew and etched portraits, landscapes, figures, and animals, but above all scenes of biblical and secular history and mythology. Although also known for his self-portraits, his most famous works show his ability to expand his subject matter. One of his best known paintings is called "Night Watch" although it has since been found to be a daytime scene. His art symbolizes a whole period of art history rightfully known as "Holland's Golden Age" ("Rembrandt"). Romanticism Romanticism (1800-1850) unlike its opposite, classicism, has a storytelling, epic quality that extends to music, painting, and literature. Richard Wagner's music evokes feelings of power and dread, with its emphasis on emotion and great freedom of form. It was his aim to offer a complete synthesis of the arts in his music. According to Alfred Einstein in "Music in the Romantic Era, A History of Musical Thought in the 19th Century (New York, 1947), "[Wagner] was the first to theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-84182710478464611082020-01-25T07:09:00.001-08:002020-01-25T07:09:03.083-08:00Gay Adoption :: Gay and Lesbian Adoptions Homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted and integrated into todayââ¬â¢s society, however, when it comes to homosexuals establishing families, a problem is posed. In most states, homosexuals can adopt children like any other married or single adult. There are many arguments to this controversial topic; some people believe that it should be legal nationally, while others would prefer that is was banned everywhere, or at least in their individual states. There are logical reasons to allow gays to adopt children, but for some, these reasons are not enough. The main issue really is, what is in the best interest of the child? This type of problem isnââ¬â¢t really one with causes, effects, and solutions, but one with pros and cons. Like any other adoption situation, a parent prove themselves to be responsible and capable enough to raise a child on their own, or with a spouse. This problem or issue is one that is proving to be a bigger one than many people most likely expected. In Todayââ¬â¢s more liberal society, homosexuality seeing more acceptance than ever before. Homosexuals and heterosexuals alike have parental instincts and are as interested in beginning families and raising children. A family should be based on love and trust, if these two elements are present in a relationship, homosexual or heterosexual, there would be no reason that the environment the couple creates for a child would be bad. Some say the homosexual lifestyle revolves only around sex, which of course is the most inappropriate subject for a child. (White) For the most part, parents and adults keep what happens behind closed doors, private, therefore, there would be no reason for a homosexual person to flaunt their sex life, especially in front of a child. Pros of Adoption by Gay Parents Adoption is a very important part of the American lifestyle. The welfare of children needs to be put in front of homophobia. There are an estimated 500,000 children in foster care nation wide, and 100,000 of these children are awaiting adoption. In 2013, only one child of every six available for adoption was actually adopted. (Sanchez, 13) Statistics like these show the true importance of adoption. People seem to prefer to have their own children biologically, but adoption should be taken into consideration, even if natural conception is possible. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-1753030170975161042020-01-17T03:33:00.001-08:002020-01-17T03:33:05.891-08:00Movie Tsotsi Role in Society EssayIn the beginning of the movie Tsotsi role in society is the gangster. Him and his gang lurk around the urban area of South Africa looking for people to mug. In this movie you can see how his sub-culture has a effect on him also the conflict theory by Karl Marx and Web DuBois comes to play. The conflict theory states that Conflict is a part of our progression. It actually causes the change. The with the main character in this movie is a young man who plays the role of a gangster hiding the fact of his traumatic experience at a young age, when his abusive father killed his mother and kicked the familyââ¬â¢s dog. This experience changes him and makes him more of a harsh person. Later on him the movie Tsotsi commits a robbery for a womanââ¬â¢s Mercedes-Benz he takes the lady out of her car and shoots her then takes off with the car. What he didnââ¬â¢t expect was the lady had her baby in the back seat of the car. When he realizes the baby in the back seat of the car he follows a woman with child home and forces her at gunpoint to feed the child. This might sound like a very hostile act to some but why would a ââ¬Å"gangsterâ⬠put a gun to a woman to feed a child that is not his. This shows a change in his way of thinking because now he is thinking of another life other than his. Then he goes back to the house where the baby lives with his gang as an attempt of robbery but in actuality he is going to get the babies bag from his room. Now he goes back to the lady for the lady that he put at gunpoint to feed the child for another feeding and she realizes that the baby is stolen and tells him to give the baby back he already took the womanââ¬â¢s legs at least give her back her child and he listens. Now you can see how the conflict theory comes to play he changes from a gangster to a father of a stolen baby now heââ¬â¢s listen to a woman he hardly even knows to do whatââ¬â¢s right for that childââ¬â¢s life. He leaves is counterculture (gang) and does the right thing knowing that he will be going to jail for kidnapping, car theft and attempted murder. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-71307842673443486572020-01-08T23:56:00.001-08:002020-01-08T23:56:04.820-08:00The Old And New Testament - 1756 Words The Bible is made up of two main books, the Old and New Testament, which both consist of stories and the experiences of the apostles and the disciples. The Bible talks about every topic imaginable to man; but the topic of woman is still today, a very controversial one. Depending on whom you talk to, opinions will vary dramatically. ââ¬Å"Are women seen as equal to man?â⬠ââ¬Å"Are women independent or dependentâ⬠, and ââ¬Å"Are women only seen for their beauty and duties in the household?â⬠. Throughout the Bible, women are spoken about quite a bit. In Genesis, man and woman are created, in Proverbs, the perfect wife is described, and in Corinthians, marriage roles are talked about. The Bible can be interpreted in many ways depending on someoneââ¬â¢s opinion.â⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Adam and Eve, probably, both were gardeners/farmers of the Garden of Eden. They didnââ¬â¢t have children yet and there was no other human being or other job on the earth. One did not do a more masculine or feminine job than the other, they were equal. Another item of note; before Adam and Eve ate the fruit of knowledge, they both had no idea that they were naked. They did not know there was a right and wrong, they couldnââ¬â¢t get embarrassed, or jealous, or angry. They were innocent. Adam wasnââ¬â¢t the only one innocent or naked, Eve was as well. God didnââ¬â¢t give more knowledge to Adam than Eve, they were given equal amount of knowledge and responsibility. That was the only time that human beings were perfectly equal. The only reason for that, of course, was because it was before they ate from the tree of knowledge. After that, mankind was born into the knowledge of embarrassment, anger, jealousy, pride, and inequality. The definition of equality is, ââ¬Å"the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.â⬠When looking at the book of Genesis, Adam and Eve were equal in status, rights, and opportunities. Soon after Eve was created, Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge and convinced Adam to as well. This was the fall into sin. When God found out about this he punished them both.

Through the prophets, Scripture reveals a redeemer and the name of Messiah. They foretell about Christââ¬â¢s birth, death and resurrection in the Old Testament and the New Testament retells His real-life stories. Because of this, a large part of the prophecy in both the Old and New Testament--according to Christians--has been fulfilled.

On the one hand, there could not be anything simpler than tell a couple of paragraphs about a person known from the birth. On the other hand, even this issue hides some pitfalls and needs a good command of basic stylistic norms. Therefore, the example of a short speech on my father will provide an excellent basis for understanding the key requirements to this type of writing. Due to my age, somebody may doubt the validity of the words I am going to say, but there is one advantage that it provides; I am already capable of assessing a figure of a father from a perspective different from the one that is usually taken by schoolchildren who want to get a good mark for a proper essay. Not aiming at getting straight Aââ¬â¢s from you, I can confidently say that my father fulfilled three the most important functions in my life, each of which is apparently the expression of his good nature. First of all, my father set a good example of being a family caregiver. This notion embraces for me not only the financial issues but also points connected with the emotional stability of the family. Surely, I am delighted with his ability to earn a sufficient amount of money to satisfy the needs of his close ones; especially if to take into account that after graduation he started his career as a gas station worker. Despite the fact that work was consuming a great part of his time, my father had always managed to find a minute to talk with us, his sons, and express that our mother and we are much more important than work. Only years after that I have realized that all the time spent at work was sacrificed in order for us to feel comfortable. The second role taken by him was a friend. I am not sure how many people can boast about the same, but my father was a person whom I addressed in need. Even though there was a division of topics I could discuss with my peers and father, the most important and personal issues I discussed exclusively with my father. There were situations when my friends were astonished at my statement that it was my fathers advice, and even then I was proud of having such a person. The third and maybe the most important lesson my father taught me is the need to always remain a human. I will never forget a snowy night when we were returning home from our relatives and found a small kitten a hundred meters from the entrance door. My brother and I did not even try to ask to take it since we knew very well that our mother would not be happy about such a prospective. Despite this, our father brought the kitten home and promised to find a shelter for the pet the next day. He never talked about this, but showed with his own behavior that people have to help each other. All in all, I was lucky to have a caregiver, a friend, and a moral authority combined in one person. In fact, it is wrong to say that I was lucky using the past tense; I am currently lucky to have a father that will be an icon for me while upbringing my children. I sincerely hope that in a couple of decades a child of mine will deliver the speech not worse or even better than this one. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-45285460077046036412019-12-23T16:07:00.001-08:002019-12-23T16:07:03.549-08:00Homosexuality A Persistent And Predominant Sexual... Homosexuality can be described as a persistent and predominant sexual attraction to persons of oneââ¬â¢s own sex (Family Doctor, 2010). Yet, homosexuality means different things for different people. Some individuals have same-sex attractions and consider themselves to be homosexuals. Whereas others may have unwanted same-sex attractions, yet refuse to identify as homosexual due to fears or strong religious convictions. Some individuals who identify as homosexual claim to have always known that theyââ¬â¢ve been different. They feel abnormal, like they do not fit into the heterosexual world. There are other individuals who may not discover that they are homosexual until they have married and had children. There are four aspects to consider in homosexuality: feelings, behavior, identity, and way of life. The onset of same sex-attractions happen at different times for each individual. Some claim to have experienced it early in life, early adulthood, or during a mid-life cr isis (Exodus Global Alliance, 2016). Many young individuals struggle to hide their sexuality and is coined ââ¬Å"being in the closetâ⬠. Coming out is when an individual decides to tell family members and friends about their true sexuality. The strength of these attractions are also varied, some claiming to have strong feelings or weak feelings. Others claim theyââ¬â¢ve always had same-sex attractions believing they were ââ¬Å"born gayâ⬠, however there is no solid scientific evidence to support this claim (Worthen, 2016). theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-14393144140476897152019-12-15T12:37:00.001-08:002019-12-15T12:37:03.463-08:00Global Burden Of The Disease Health And Social Care Essay Free Essays Cervical malignant neoplastic disease is a major public wellness issue ; it is the 2nd most common malignant neoplastic disease among adult females in the universe, and one of taking cause of decease by gynaecologic malignant tumor in developing states. ( I. Shahramian and co-workers 2011 ) Besides, cervical malignant neoplastic disease is one of the most preventable and curable malignant neoplastic disease when it is detected early, and this is due to its slow patterned advance, since it take several old ages to turn from a noticeable precursor lesion. We will write a custom essay sample on Global Burden Of The Disease Health And Social Care Essay or any similar topic only for you Order Now This cardinal characteristic provides a big window of about 10 old ages or more for effectual early sensing of the precancerous lesion, and forestalling its patterned advance to invasive malignant neoplastic disease. From this position, good organized bar attacks have been applied by high income states over the past 50 old ages, and have resulted in a singular diminution in morbidity and mortality from this invasive disease. The showing plan is a successful illustration for effectual bar from cervical malignant neoplastic disease, it has been used in the Nordic states ( Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden ) ; this plan was examined by the International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) in 1960s and it was found that the mortality rate in these states fell by about three- 4th, The most drastic lessening was marked in Iceland by 84 % and this was due to the broad mark age scope for testing in this state. ( whomb people ) However, over the same period, developing states have failed through utilizing the same plan to cut down the load of the disease, and cervical malignant neoplastic disease continues to endanger the lives of 1000s of adult females, this may be due to the deficiency of an effectual bar scheme. We will seek in this paper to reexamine the determiners of cervical malignant neoplastic disease testing among Algerian adult females, to clarify the outstanding barriers sing showing and to foreground the chief factors act uponing the single wellness behavior, for this survey, we will utilize the Health Belief Model as a conceptual model, we will explicate the construction of the Health Belief Model ( Becker ) and how the different concepts of the theoretical account could foretell the adult females ââ¬Ës wellness behavior sing cervical tumor showing, eventually the application of this theoretical account as a guiding model to anchor behavioral intercessions and to better attitude of adult females sing malignant neoplastic disease showing will be discussed. Epidemiology of cervical cancer/ planetary load of the disease Global overview Worldwide, cervical malignant neoplastic disease is the 2nd most common cause of decease among adult females ( ACCP2004 ) with an estimation of 493,000 new instances, and 274,000 deceases happening every twelvemonth harmonizing to the statistics of the International Agency for Research on Cancer ( GLOBOCAN, 2002 ) In 2008, 530000 new instances were diagnosed, more than 85 % of the planetary load were registered in developing states ( where it remains the most common malignant neoplastic disease seen in adult females and it accounts for 13 % of all female malignant neoplastic diseases ) , In the same twelvemonth, the cervical malignant neoplastic disease was responsible for 275000 deceases, approximately 88 % of which occurred in developing states 53000 instances in Africa, 31700 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 159000 instances in Asia. ( GLOBOCAN 2008 ) The figure below shows incidence of cervical malignant neoplastic disease by state, it should be noted that informations from developing states might be underestimated as the official statistics in these states are non dependable. hypertext transfer protocol: //globocan.iarc.fr/factsheets/cancers/cervix-bar.png Regional overview Algeria is a big North African state, extended from the Mediterranean Sea down to the Sahara, with about 37 million dwellers. Algeria has a population of 11,51millions of adult females whose ages are 15 old ages and older, ( WHO/ICO2010 ) which means that about the tierce of the Algerian population is at hazard of developing cervical malignant neoplastic disease. Cervical malignant neoplastic disease is the 2nd most common malignant neoplastic disease among Algerian adult females after the chest malignant neoplastic disease, ââ¬Å" Current estimations indicate that every twelvemonth 1398 adult females are diagnosed with cervical malignant neoplastic disease and 797 dice from the disease â⬠( WHO/ICO2010 ) About 10, 5 % of Algerian adult females are estimated harbour cervical HPV, and about 77, 1 % of cervical malignant neoplastic diseases in Algeria are related to HPV 16 or 18. ( WHO/ICO 2010 ) But we should observe that even these statistics might be underestimated, The economic impact of cervical malignant neoplastic disease is significantly heavy for the province. The intervention of a individual patient returns to about 2.5 million dinars ( aââ¬Å¡Ã ¬ 20,000 ) , with this cost we we can accomplish 2000 vilifications ( smear trial cost 20 aââ¬Å¡Ã ¬ ) and vaccinate 30 adult females. Natural history of cervical malignant neoplastic disease Understanding the procedure of developing cervical malignant neoplastic disease is a important measure to plan an effectual plan of bar. More than 99 % instances of cervical malignant neoplastic disease are attributed to cervical HPV infection, which is a sexually transmitted disease ( STD ) , the virus is acquired by both work forces and adult females through sexual activity, the infection is normally symptomless and transient. HPV is the most common STD in the universe ; it affects ââ¬Å" about 50 % to 80 % of sexually active adult females at least one time in their life-time â⬠( ACCP 2004 ) , they contract it in their adolescent, 20 or early 30s. There are more than 100 genotypes of HPV that have been identified, and which are numbered by order of their find, approximately 13 types can take to invasive cervical malignant neoplastic disease and they are known as high oncogenic hazard ( 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66 ) ( WHO 2007 ) The two most common are 16 and 18 doing about 70 % of all invasive cervical carcinoma ( 60 % related to HPV 16 and 10 % to HPV 18 ) the whom people The others types of HPV are known as low hazard and they normally associated with venereal warts ( particularly 6 and 11 ) which can turn in the venereal portion in both work forces and adult females ( neck, anus, vulva, vagina, phallus, and scrotum ) and they cause a important morbidity. ( WHO2007 ) , They are really seldom associated with cervical malignant neoplastic disease, but can take to low class alterations in cervical cells which are really similar to those caused by high hazard types. These low lesions are symptomless and impermanent, nevertheless, in some fortunes can germinate and take to high lesion or invasive malignant neoplastic disease. Table: summarizes the different phases taking to cervical malignant neoplastic disease ( ACCP2004 ) HPV infection Low-grade lesions High-grade lesions Invasive malignant neoplastic disease HPV infection is highly common among adult females of generative age. The infection can prevail, take to cervical abnormalcies, or decide on its ain. Low-grade lesions are normally impermanent and vanish over clip. Some instances, nevertheless, advancement to top-quality lesions. High-grade lesions, the precursor to cervical malignant neoplastic disease, are significantly less common than low-grade lesions. High- grade lesions can develop from low-grade 1s or straight from relentless HPV infection. Invasive malignant neoplastic disease develops over the class of several old ages and is most common among adult females in their 50s and 60s. Beginning: Adapted from PATH 2000. HPV is a necessary cause but non sufficient to come on from HPV infection to invasive cervical malignant neoplastic disease, there are other lifestyle factors that increase the chance to develop the malignant neoplastic disease including high para, immature age at first bringing, being in polygamous matrimony, adult females with hubby ââ¬Ës adulterous sexual relationship ( D. Hammouda and co-workers 2004, 2011 ) , long term usage of unwritten contraceptive method, baccy smoke, certain dietetic lacks, hapless sanitation, multiple sex spouse, low socio economic position, and life in a rural environment. In add-on, co-infection with HIV, Chlamydia Trachomatis, and Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 ( HSV 2 ) . , ( whomb people ) HPV was incriminated in many other anogenital malignant neoplastic disease ( anus, vulva, vagina, and phallus ) and malignant neoplastic diseases of the caput and cervix. Understanding that HPV is the primary implicit in cause of cervical malignant neoplastic disease has focused attending on the potency of early sensing of the infection through the cervical showing. Screening for cervical malignant neoplastic disease is based on the usage of the Papanicolaou cytology technic ( Pap smear trial ) in which doctors or nurses expose the neck by speculum and take cells from the squamous epithelial tissue and transmutation zone to observe unnatural precancerous cells. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology suggest that adult females should have the first testing trial 3 old ages after the first sexual intercourse They besides recommend that adult females should go on having cytology testing annually until the age of 30, from than they can have it every 3 old ages. Harmonizing to the same college, menopausal adult females have a lower opportunity to develop unnatural cervical cells ; nevertheless, there is no upper age bound to halt the showing. ( Whom people ) Primary bar have focused on hygiene and cut downing hazards factor by ââ¬Å" cut downing the figure of sexual spouses and promoting the usage of barrier preventive particularly rubbers, â⬠( ACCP2004 ) Recently a new vaccinum which has the potency to protect against certain type of HPV infection ( 16 and 18 ) has been licensed to underpin the preventative plan against cervical malignant neoplastic disease. The vaccinum has been used in many developed states and shown great consequences in cut downing the load of the disease, but it has non been introduced in Algeria yet Pap smear as a cervical malignant neoplastic disease testing trial Algeria is one of the development states where cervical malignant neoplastic disease remains a major wellness public issue. although the application of testing plan, a big population remain under screened, the result are really modest and the incidence of cervical malignant neoplastic disease is ever high and this could be contributed to the deficiency of consciousness about testing trial among adult females and some specific cultural wellness beliefs barriers, non surprisingly that big proportion of the patients are diagnosed with advanced phase of the invasive cervical malignant neoplastic disease, interestingly, even most of the wellness attention suppliers have neââ¬â¢er had a pap vilification. ( ref hazard factor ) . Surveies show that comprehensive cervical malignant neoplastic disease showing is modest in low resources states ; hence a low engagement in Pap vilification and a low follow up when it is done the first clip. It has been stated that testing plan in these states and even among minorities and Aboriginal adult females faced many obstructions ; deficiency of sufficient research lab substructure, high cost of wellness attention, unequal trained wellness attention suppliers, absence of supplier ââ¬Ës recommendation and a deficiency of appropriate educational plans in these states that indicate the hazard factors of this disease, the importance of testing at early phase, and the power of the Pap smear trial to observe the disease in its premalignant phase and so the possibility of full remedy and bar. ( S.T. Tavafian 2012 ) In add-on to these financess and human resources lacks that can hindrance an effectual and organised testing intercession, there is besides the deficiency of cognition from the patients sing preventable cervical malignant neoplastic disease every bit good as the socio-cultural position barriers, such as embarrassment from pelvic scrutiny that have been argued as one of taking obstruction to non having testing trial, ( S.T. Tavafian 2012 ) another factor is the fright of topic and the entrenched belief that malignant neoplastic disease can non be cured, the deficiency of optimum cognition about testing patterns ; this utmost fatalistic attitude about malignant neoplastic disease among different states lead adult females to see diagnosing as a ââ¬Å" decease sentence â⬠and so the turning away of the trial, ( V.Thomas and co-workers 2005 ) there is besides undertakings identified spiritual beliefs, the limited linguistic communication ability as another major perceived barrier, t he deficiency of societal support, the low socio economic position and the unequal functional wellness literacy. There is a survey that has been conducted in Spanish among low income Latinas, that found that adult females with unequal functional wellness literacy are 16 times less likely to have a Pap smear trial ( S.T. Tavafian 2012 ) It has been illustrated that Individual ââ¬Ës beliefs, cultural background, cognition about a peculiar unwellness are significantly interconnected with the health care seeking and wellness promotional behavior, Al-Neggar and his co-workers concluded that some misconceptions and incorrect beliefs may carry on to the hapless pattern of cervical malignant neoplastic disease testing among adult females, despite the equal cognition sing the hazard factors ( Al-Neggar and co-worker ( 2010 ) . One of theoretical theoretical accounts that could be used to place the determiner of malignant neoplastic disease showing and measure the influence of people ââ¬Ës beliefs on their determinations to take up malignant neoplastic disease showing is the wellness belief theoretical account. Harmonizing to the constructs of this theoretical account, persons are more likely to take up testing if they are motivated plenty about their wellness, and they regard themselves as susceptible to develop malignant neoplastic disease, believe that effectual intercession would be good to cut down the susceptibleness and the badness of the status. Health belief theoretical account as a theoretical model for foretelling behavior The wellness belief theoretical account is one of the theory the most normally used in wellness publicity and wellness instruction, ( chapter 4 ) it was developed in the early 1950s by a group of societal psychologists to explicate the widespread failure of people to follow the disease preventative plans suggested and testing trial recommended to observe and forestall the disease at its symptomless phase, Subsequently it was applied to analyze the response of patients to diagnosed disease and their conformity with prescribed medical regimens. ( Nancy and co-workers 1984 ) This theoretical account aims to explicate the patient ââ¬Ës ideas procedure behind his preventative attitude instead than his behavior after acquiring the unwellness. The underlying construct of the theoretical account is that wellness behavior and willingness of people to prosecute in a preventative plan or to take up a screening trial are determined by personal beliefs and perceptual experience of the disease in add-on to the different resources available to forestall its happening, ( chapter 4 ) The theoretical account provides guidelines to develop schemes for effectual intercession and execution by leting contrivers to understand the grounds for non conformity with the recommended suggested preventative systems. This theoretical account assumes that person ââ¬Ës wellness behavior is determined by five psychological factors: perceived susceptibleness, perceived earnestness, ref perceived benefits and perceived barriers to effectual conformity ; cues to set into action, late, there are others concepts that have been added to the theoretical account called modifying or actuating factors such as mass media enterprises, run, personal stuffs, societal support, wellness professional and self-efficacy. ( V.Thomas and collegues 2005 ) Copier le tableau Articulation of cervical malignant neoplastic disease testing behavior to the HBM model In this subdivision ; I will seek through the concepts of the Health Belief Model to explicate the relationship between adult females ââ¬Ës belief and wellness behavior in Algeria Perceived susceptibleness: personal hazard or susceptibleness is referred to the personal belief about the likeliness of undertaking a disease ( S.T. Tavafian 2012 ) , it is one of the most powerful factor that influence people to follow a healthy behavior, ââ¬Å" the greater the perceived hazard, the greater the likeliness of prosecuting in behaviors to diminish the hazard ( chapter4 ) . For testing plan, adult female will be interested to take up a smear trial if she is cognizant plenty of the possibility to acquire cervical malignant neoplastic disease by undertaking HPV infection, and that she is exposed to this hazard every bit long as she is sexually active. The HBM predicts that adult females are more likely to follow with cervical malignant neoplastic disease testing recommendation if they believe that they have risk factor of cervical malignant neoplastic disease ( Glanz et and co-workers 2008 ) , and frailty versa, the belief of non being at hazard for cervical malignant neoplastic disease or HPV infection preclude ( deter, empeche ) adult females to prosecute in such plan, And this is why most virgin adult females in Algeria underestimate the necessity ( believe the futility ) of smear trial as they think they are protected from the hazard of HPV infection because they are non married. Or in other words, because there is no sexual intercourse, virgin adult female does non comprehend her exposure to cervical malignant neoplastic disease, although surveies show that HPV has been found in some female virgins, which means that the virus does non ever necessitate perforating sex to be transmitted, And that it may be spread through non pe rforating sexual contact ; and even within married adult females, the construct that HPV infection is related to multiple sex spouse make them believe they are safe from the hazard since they have one spouse, disregarding the hubby sexual behavior, as many work forces in Algeria have adulterous sexual relationship underground that the married woman unawares, and so she does nââ¬â¢t see herself as susceptible to the hazard. Another badgering factor is that youngest adult females consider malignant neoplastic disease to be an aged disease, while older adult females harmonizing to cervical showing age bound might believe that they are no longer at hazard ref ( V.Thomas 2005 ) , and so there is a incorrect perceive of susceptibleness. Perceived badness: refers to the earnestness of the disease as assessed by the patient, it is normally based on medical information or personal cognition from telecasting, wireless or cusps, or it may come from the belief of a individual about the effects that would make a peculiar disease whatever clinical such as decease, disablement, or societal like household life and societal dealingss ( chapter4 ) , ( S.T. Tavafian 2012 ) , For testing trial, if adult females believe that cervical tumor is a terrible disease that would take to serious troubles for her and her household, she will see bar as a precedence and so she is more likely to have a Pap smear trial. Besides holding knowledge about Pap smear trial and its importance to observe the invasive disease at early phase will actuate her to have one, because many adult females realise the badness of cervical malignant neoplastic disease but lack cognition of testing plan, and available service. Despite the acknowledgment that cervical malignant neoplastic disease is a serious issue, most of adult females in Algeria believe that there is no intervention, which make them see testing trial as futile and this possibly reflects the spiritual beliefs and the cultural background that may act upon their attitude, Algeria population as most of Muslims agree that unwellness, recovery and decease are all determined from God, so ââ¬Å" The bulk believe that testing would non protract their lives and when the clip of decease comes no 1 can force it off â⬠( K, Salman2011 ) Another point is that the fright from possibility of designation unnatural cells would needfully take to other probes frequently influence the willingness of the adult females to go to, particularly when there is no 1 to watch the kids during the showing and the deficiency of important support. ( chapter4 ) In Algeria, as in many other Arabic states, ââ¬Å" malignant neoplastic disease showing is normally recommended for diagnostic intents instead than being used as a tool for secondary bar â⬠( K, Salman2011 ) most of adult females consider the absence of seeable symptoms as a mark of good wellness hence they do non seek wellness attention unless the disease manifests itself and starts to disenable her day-to-day activities, and so the malignant neoplastic disease is frequently diagnosed at its advanced phase. Perceived benefits is about the individual ââ¬Ës sentiment on how much may new behaviour lessening the hazard of a peculiar disease, the HBM predicts that most people have tendency to follow new behavior which is seen as a healthy behavior when they believe the capableness of this new behavior to diminish their hazard of developing a disease ( Glanz and Colleagues 2008 ) Perceived benefits play a major function in the acceptance of secondary preventative intercessions such as showing, for illustration, if adult females believe that Pap smear is of import for early sensing of the precancerous lesions and bar of malignant neoplastic disease that will actuate them to take part in secondary bar pattern by seeking cheques up and periodic showing. Therefore adult females are non expected to prosecute in any screening plan unless they perceive that this plan is potentially good to cut down the hazard, and so wellness attention suppliers should explicate to the patient the ability of testing trial to observe alterations in neck before they develop to malignant neoplastic disease, which make intervention easier and bar effectual. Sensed barriers: relate to the person ââ¬Ës vision of the obstructions he will confront if he decides to follow a new behavior. In order to set about a recommended behavior, a individual needs to believe that the benefits expected from it outweigh the results of his old behavior ; this enables him to get the better of the sensed barriers and to follow the new behavior ( chapter4 ) For illustration, if adult female believes that benefits of undergoing a screening trial outweigh the obstructions that she may confront, she is more likely to obtain Pap trial. Previous surveies have showed that adult females who perceived the Pap smear testing as a painful and awkward procedure were less likely to obtain cervical malignant neoplastic disease showing, in the same surveies adult females reported many cause that deter them to take the action, such as a negative old experience, included hurting, hemorrhage, or being faced with inexperient practician who did nââ¬â¢t explicate the process to them during taking the sample, linguistic communication troubles was another barrier due the perceive that she will be unable to pass on decently with the wellness attention supplier, and to construct a trusting relationship. Even those who appreciated the necessity of the showing, the fright of the trial procedure was a great obstruction for them, as most of adult females find it uncomfortable, and perceive the metal speculum as a painful instrument. ( Abdullah 2009 ) Shyness is another major hinderance that may discourage testing procedure, and It is really common for adult females to decline to uncover her organic structure parts to undergo a physical test or a medical processs particularly when the wellness supplier is a adult male, and even the treatment about a sensitive wellness issue like matrimonial relationship, sexual activity and reproductively is regarded as really private, and should nââ¬â¢t be disclosed to other people, particularly work forces, and even hubby may sometimes non be involved in his married woman ââ¬Ës wellness issue if it is related to her generative variety meats. ( K, Salman2011 ) Cues to action: are the ensemble of events, things, people that motivate a individual to alter his behavior, and this can be aggregate media such as telecasting, wireless, advice from a household or friends, cusps, information booklet, runs, recommendation from wellness supplier, ( chapter4 ) Womans are more likely to take up a pap trial if she receives adequate information about the benefits of the trial from her GP or Gynaecologist, if she receives advice from another adult female who had the trial, if she is encouraged by a member of her household particularly the hubby or if she knows person in her cortege with a history of malignant neoplastic disease, all those factors are susceptible to cut down the sensed barriers to malignant neoplastic disease showing. Perceived self-efficacy: it refers to the belief of the individual in his ain ability to follow the behavior required, because people by and large do nââ¬â¢t prosecute in making something unless they believe they are able to accomplish it. ( Chapter 4 ) Modifying factors: in add-on to what it has been already said, There are other factors that seem to act upon the willingness of adult females to take up the trial such as unequal cognition about the showing, deficiency of swearing relationship with the wellness provide, deficiency of assurance in the importance of the trial, high cost of the trial, fright of the consequence of the trial and superstitious notion that speaking about malignant neoplastic disease would convey it, some stigmata imposed by the community and even sometimes the household that cervical malignant neoplastic disease is related to promiscuousness, Perception of the Pap vilification as a menace for the adult female ââ¬Ës virginity, some fatalistic attitude that unwellness, recovery and decease are associating to ââ¬Å" god ââ¬Ës will â⬠and that testing trial is futile, Low socioeconomic position, deficiency of societal support, poorness, deficiency of wellness insurance ( J.Hatcher and co-workers 201 1 ) , childhood sexual maltreatment, fleshiness, low degrees of instruction, kid attention, deficiency of transit. Cervical malignant neoplastic disease screening- publicity intercessions based on HBM Today, the HBM is used by many research workers to guideline the development of schemes for effectual wellness intercession, In this subdivision, I will seek to summarize some determination from the different intercessions based HBM that push me to propose this theoretical account to better adult females ââ¬Ës behavior in Algeria. The wellness belief theoretical account has been used by several survey, entirely or combined with other wellness publicity theoretical accounts to and to better belief and behavior among adult females sing the showing plan, an illustration of this survey, has been conducted in Iran, in 2010, this survey showed that the ââ¬Å" HBM has formed the footing for an interventional plan to better behavior among Persian adult females â⬠, ( S.Tavafian2012 ) , The survey was conducted with 70 volunteers- aged between 16 and 54 old ages, and they had neââ¬â¢er received Pap trial, the participants were divided into many little groups, and each group underwent a session of 2 hr preparation. For the informations aggregation tool, a self-administered multi-choice questionnaire was developed based on the constructs of the HBM. The personal belief and wellness pattern of all the adult females were assessed pre intercession and four months subsequently, the findings reported that wellness in struction based on HBM concept was effectual, and could advance the participant ââ¬Ës cognition and better the different constituents of the theoretical account ( sensed susceptibleness, badness, benefits, and barriers ) .The developing plan that has been used enhanced the willingness of adult females to pattern the testing trial significantly. The survey concluded to the fact that instruction plan based on HBM concepts can alter adult females ââ¬Ës wellness beliefs, heighten their cognition about the cervical malignant neoplastic disease and the screening trial, and actuate them to follow a new behavior. ( S.Tavafian2012 ) Another survey in Somali was about an educational programme about the intent of the screening trial, to promote Somalis to set about the trial. The participants praised the enterprise and suggested that such information should be provided in a community scene, because it would assist adult females to comprehend the value of the trial, and to get the better of the different fatalistic barriers to testing. further, Participants suggested bettering the consciousness of testing among adult females via mass media: Television, wireless, picture, DVDs, CDs and audiotapes ( Abdullahi, 2009 ) , Health publicity ( ACCP 2004 ) ( reexamine the rubric ) There is a deficiency of information sing wellness publicity theoretical accounts that have been used to act upon wellness behavior among adult females in Algeria, and even there is no description how the intercession methods were selected, Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention ( ACCP ) consists of five international wellness organisations who portion all the same end to forestall cervical malignant neoplastic disease in limited-resource countries.it aims through its undertakings to implement an effectual bar schemes to understate the load of the cervical malignant neoplastic disease.unfortunately, Algeria has non been included in this enterprise, through my reappraisal of this manual, I would propose it as an attack to better adult females ââ¬Ës wellness is Algeria and to advance wellness service bringing. Many method of diagnostic, testing and intervention are presently used. And each of them has strengths and restrictions, this method should be reviewed to pick up the most appropriate for the patient, for the showing for illustration the Pap smear trial is the most normally used, this trial requires multiple and regular visit from the client, which can be a barrier for the adult female to go to it, The ACCP suggest some alternate attack with better sensitiveness and specificity such as Human papillomavirus ( HPV ) DNA proving, or ocular showing, a low cost method with an immediate consequence. As a wellness attention installation, they suggest to unite the intervention of precancerous lesions to the showing procedure, and suggest some effectual and safe methods that should be performed by doctor and non physician. These intervention methods allow remedy and histological confirmation at the same clip, it has been shown that this enterprise was praised by adult females and suppliers every bit good, and it has a great consequence to take down rate morbidity. The combination of both effectual showing attack and intervention would get the better of the restriction. Facility adult females ââ¬Ës entree to precancer intervention services, through choosing a plan to associate testing services to precancer intervention services. This would increase the effectivity and promote adult female to follow up. Achieving widespread testing coverage of the mark population by choice of well-organised bar attack. And this may include the policymakers and governments who should promote the investing in cervical malignant neoplastic disease bar Planing an effectual bar intercession: Planing a bar plan requires a coordination between a multidisciplinary direction squad, that include clinical, administrative, and preparation specializers. To accomplish the plan ââ¬Ës aim, the squad members should follow a participatory procedure which includes besides the position of laic people who are concerned by the result of this plan, and this will let accomplishing a high showing coverage with satisfactory consequence. Bettering wellness services and laboratory substructures: bringing services should be accessible, acceptable, low-cost, and dependable to fulfill the client and guarantee a high coverage of the population mark Training: Ensuring Performance to Standard Ensure to measure up a competent staff and wellness supplier, to pull client to utilize the installations available and this would go on by developing session that enable supplier to confidently offer dependable services Supplying Information and Counselling to Address Community and Client Needs Women mark group should be informed enough the benefits of showing and handiness of bar services to increase the effectivity of the plan, and this could go on by direct contact between adult female and wellness worker or through aggregate media and run, Social web intercessions, mailed invitation missive for showing and reminders, information booklet which are really popular to distribute information about wellness subjects. It has been stated that direct supplier contact is more effectual to increase the usage of bar services as the single guidance will turn to concerns and emotional demand and should be more convincing Overview of showing, intervention and Palliative Care services of cervical malignant neoplastic disease Cervical malignant neoplastic disease showing services, cervical malignant neoplastic disease intervention, and alleviative attention services should be continuously linked to guarantee the effectivity of the plan. Decision Plans should be planned strategically, be based on realistic appraisal of demands and capacities, and use the most recent grounds on showing and intervention attacks. ie hapless public presentation of cervical malignant neoplastic disease bar plans in some limited-resource scenes has most oiââ¬Å¡?en been the consequence of hapless planning and execution and deficiency of systems for ongoing monitoring and rating, irrespective of the screening trial or intervention methods used. Establishing mechanisms and procedures to back up and prolong each constituent of a plan will travel far to guaranting that services are effectual, accessible, and acceptable to adult females who need them.

Further, it will discuss the similarities and differences between the responses received from my interviewees based on my discussion of The Myth of the Cave by Plato as read in Twenty Questions: An Introduction to Philosophy. For this paper, I interviewed a group of my peers at work. My company Bombardier makes trains and planes. I was a Senior Project Administrator for a project at New Jersey Transit where thirty-six (36) dual electrical/diesel locomotives were implemented to their train fleet. I recently was promoted and moved to Fayetteville, GA. My former work unit consisted of seven (7) people. The members of this group came from different countries and I was the only American in this work unit. I felt that based on the cultural and educational differences of the interviewees involved, I would receive unique responses to the question: What is the meaning of Platoââ¬â¢s Myth of the Cave? I chose the five (5) engineers in our group for this paper. The interview began as a group where I described The Myth of the Cave by Plato based on my reading in Twenty Questions: An Introduction to Philosophy. I described the story as follows: There are a group of men, prisoners, their hands and legs are shackled by chains. Moreover, the movement of their head and face is also restricted, so that they can see nothing but the wall in front of them. This restricted movement limits their visibility to the wall, thus circumscribing the scope of any encounter beyond it. There is an enormous fire on the ground, and between the wall and the fire is a walkway meant for objects to pass. The shadows of these objects fall directly on the wall providing the sole view for the prisoners. The only way for the prisoners to get acquainted with their surroundings is to decipher the shadows and consider them to be a part of the real world. They start naming each and every object, and amongst all the prisoners, the intellect of an individual is governed by his ability to judge those objects. Later, one prisoner is freed of the shackles and gets to see the outside world. What he encounters is beyond his comprehension. He is accustomed to dim light, and the light of the sun hurt his eyes. But slowly he would get accustomed to the existence of the new world and discover true reality and the beauty of Mother Nature. When the prisoner returns to the cave to share the news of the truth he has just discovered, he tries to persuade his companions that there is a ââ¬Å"realâ⬠outside world, and what all has been seen by them are mere shadows of the real objects. But the other prisoners resist his enlightenment and condemn him. In addition, we watched a You Tube video with an animated version of The Myth of the Cave by Plato to give my interviewees a visual interpretation as well as verbal description of the story. Once my story and video were completed, we discussed the meaning of the myth of cave as a team and debated about the moral of the story. After, I asked my interviewees to write down their personal thoughts of the story for individual discussion. My first interviewee is named Graziella Spizzi. She is twenty-eight (28) years old from Zurich, Switzerland. She is an Electrical Engineer at my company. She feels the myth of the cave is a symbolic way of showing how people are enlightened. She states that there are two main characters, those making the shadows and the prisoners. The people casting the shadows are trying to pass on what their ancestors taught them. The same shadows were once cast to them. The prisoners are chained in chains that represent conformity. She believes as the prisoners learn the shadows and the order in which they go in the chains are loosened. When a prisoner is able to recite the shadows in the order in which they appear they are released in order to share that same information with future generations(G. Spizzi, personal communication, May 25, 2011). My second interviewee is Markus Schaefer. He is forty-three (43) years old from Niedermollrich, Hessen, Germany. He is a Mechanical Engineer at our company. He believes it describes our fear of exploring outside our safety zone. We get locked and chained by our own fear. Markus stated that in psychology there is a process called subception whereby we disallow any incoming data at the source so that it doesnââ¬â¢t ever enter the conscious mind. In his example he stated that some people need the safety of believing that they can only rely on themselves so much so that they do not see when other people needing charity (M. Schaefer, personal communication, May 25, 2011). My third interviewee is Ennio Luchessa. He is forty-five (45) years old born in Zurich, Switzerland but raised in Northern Italy. He is a Technical Engineer at our company. He states the myth of the cave expresses how the prisoners in the dark cave were ignorant people and if brought into the light outside became informed individuals. Ennio feels that humans in general are trapped into they own world, not allowing outside influences that may enrich them to come in. He feels we have a duty to experience everything that the world has to offer and if possible afford this opportunity to others (E. Luchessa, personal communication, May 25, 2011). My fourth interviewee is Hector Martinez-Cabanes. He is twenty-six (26) years old from Villaviciosa de Odon, Madrid, Spain. He is an Electrical/Mechanical Engineer at our company. He also feels the meaning of the myth of cave was the prisoners in the dark cave represented ignorance in society in general. Hector believes that once the prisoners are brought into the ââ¬Å"lightâ⬠from the dark they are freed from their preconceived beliefs and can realize the world for what it really is and then choose what is better for them (H. Martinez-Cabanes, personal communication, May 25, 2011). My fifth interviewee is Volker Goltz. He is forty-one (41) years old from Kassel, Germany. He is a Technical Engineer at our company. He states that Plato was conveying that the real world can be correctly apprehended only intellectually, not physically. Volker furthers his claims by asserting that knowledge cannot be transferred from teacher to student through memorization-driven education and Platoââ¬â¢s belief of discovery-guided learning gives students the best possible advantage to discover the world for themselves and formulate what is true, real and important (V. Goltz, personal communication, May 25, 2011). All the interviewees agreed that the myth of the cave was about enlightenment. The differences it their responses occur with how the enlightenment may come about. Most responses convey that one must experience something and not only judge something from the way it looks or what they have heard. One must first live in someones shoes before they are able to feel what they feel and understand how they live. Most importantly, never judge something by its cover and from the outside. For me, at first I agreed most with Hectorââ¬â¢s response to the meaning of the myth of the cave. My decision changed once I thoroughly reviewed the interview with Volker. His response to the meaning of the myth of the cave that the real world can be correctly apprehended only intellectually especially through discovery-guided learning seemed logical to me. My decision is based on children, when they are young they believe what they are told by adults never questioning. As the child grows they begin to learn and experience things about the world that may differ from what they have been taught. As teenagers, most rebel against their parents for the chance to discovery the world for themselves, not as the world has been interpreted to them. As young adults and into adulthood, they are able to have their own opinions and formulate what is true, real, and important. Further, most of these opinions are commingled with the things taught to them in youth, which during their life journey have been proven to be true. Overall, the group believed that most people prefer to remain in chains and to see only shadows of the truth. Only the wise are willing to free themselves from the chains and look for the truth even if it is blinding at first. I believe through discovery-guided learning versus memory-driven education beginning in kindergarten will help develop more informed, open-minded, and outside the box thinkers in the future. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-4161760343481781392019-11-29T21:01:00.001-08:002019-11-29T21:01:03.782-08:00Strategic Actions Adopted by AirAsi free essay sample AirAsia is a Malaysian company that introduced the Low-Cost Carrier service to the domestic market and eventually the Asian region. Currently, AirAsia is the leader in this market segment. We can categorize AirAsia as a first-mover in this industry. That is because the owner takes an initial competitive action in order to build or defense its competitive advantages or to improve its market position. Before it becomes the AirAsia that we know today, AirAsia was a poorly performed company owned by a government-link-company (GLC) in Malaysia, DRB-HICOM. In 2001, it was sold to the current owner, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes founded of Tune Air Sdn. Bhd. for a sum of only RM1.00 (USD 0.25 cents), and agreed to take on the airlineââ¬â¢s RM400 million debt. Within 2year, Tony Fernandes exceeds everyoneââ¬â¢s expectation and turned AirAsia into a profit-making company. By the third year, it was listed in Kuala Lumpur bourse with outstanding IPO (Initial Public Offer) of RM717. We will write a custom essay sample on Strategic Actions Adopted by AirAsi or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page 4 million (The AirAsia Family, 2017)The Slogan of AirAsia goes as Now Everyone Can Fly. It is now the leading airline that was established in the year 2001 with the dream of making flying possible and achievable by everyone around any corner of the world. AirAsia managed to become one of the leading airline service providers despite facing the difficulties during the period of recession. They managed to create route networks that cover more than 20 countries which enables the consumers to travel around the globe. The vision of the leading airline company AirAsia is to be the largest low-cost airline in Asia and serving the 3 billion people who are currently underserved with poor connectivity and high fares. This shows that the airline is focusing on the middle-income earners as their target market.The missions of the AirAsia will be inspiring to many companies. One of the core mission of the airline company is to be the best company to work for whereby employees are treated as part of a big family. Besides that, another mission of the company is to create a globally recognized ASEAN brand. This will be a proud statement for the company that originates from Malaysia which enables the country to rise higher in the global arena. Another mission of AirAsia is to attain the lowest cost so that everyone can fly with AirAsia. They are actually flying their talk because the one-way tickets are sold at a remarkable price of RM 1 as the Marketing Director of AirAsia, the task has been given by the Managing Director to explain the impact of consumer buying process and its application to a marketer. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-62298553360347264972019-11-25T20:44:00.001-08:002019-11-25T20:44:02.671-08:00The Commodity Purchase Role for Warner-Robbins Agent EssaysThe Commodity Purchase Role for Warner-Robbins Agent Essays The Commodity Purchase Role for Warner-Robbins Agent Paper The Commodity Purchase Role for Warner-Robbins Agent Paper 1. What are your goals in this case? Why? My main goal in this case is to acquire all 100,000 pheasant eggs for Warner-Robbins. There is one commodity broker; as the agent I need to purchase the eggs, otherwise Warner-Robbins is unable to produce the product. I have to keep in mind, that Warner-Robbins is creating a vaccine to save babies who have low birth weight or other birth risk. If I lose this bid, the company will be at a great loss. The price is also a major factor-I must stay under $2, but also negotiating the lowest price possible. Purchasing the pheasant eggs from the broker will also provide me with a compensation of $5,000 if I buy at least 70,000 eggs. Less than the minimum would not be able to produce enough to run the compound commercially. 2. What concerns do you have going into the negotiation? Why? My main concern is my competitor Galaxo- they may have learned of the source of the infant hardiness compound, and is about to bring a competing product to the market. Galaxo might be willing to pay more than $2 per egg in order to market the drug before Warner-Robbins. Since, I have a limited budget of $2 per eggs; this will hinder my ability to buy the eggs. Galaxo may have the purchasing power if their budget is higher. 3. What will be my opening strategy? Why? Itââ¬â¢s imperative to listen to all the parties that are interested in buying the pheasant eggs. The buyers have different motives, so itââ¬â¢s important to listen first to build a strong negotiation stance. Itââ¬â¢s extremely important to listen to Galaxoââ¬â¢s reason for wanting the eggs. After hearing all the reasons and interests from the other buyers, I will explain the reason I need the pheasant eggs to the broker. Informing the broker that the eggs are needed to save babies lives might give an advantage over the other buyers. Another important factor is allowing the other buyers to bid first, so I can bid higher, while keeping the unit price of $2 or less per egg. 4. Are there ethical considerations in this case? Why or why not? I donââ¬â¢t think there are ethical considerations in this case because Warner-Robbins is trying to create a compound that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to save babies who have low birth weight or other risks. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-43345628050226027462019-11-22T04:08:00.001-08:002019-11-22T04:08:02.822-08:00CCEI083W Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 wordsCCEI083W - Essay Example I also maintain good communication with my preschoolerââ¬â¢s parents in order to guarantee their well being. Finally, I ensure that I am in a good position to discuss problematic behaviours of my preschoolers with their parents in a positive, helpful manner. In order to encourage family involvement in classroom activities, I encourage parents to be clients of the program. This grants them a chance to say what they like or do not like about the program. They also offer bright ideas by acting as clients to the program. Also, I request the parents of my preschoolers to volunteers to some of the school programs. For instance, I ask some of the parents to help in serving snacks for students or contribute toys that they think might help their children learn. Finally, I have included myself on the teacher-parent association in order to contribute to the local politics that parents bring up concerning their childrenââ¬â¢s learning. Through this, I share with the parents the importance of their childrenââ¬â¢s learning. I support the relationships of my preschoolers and their families by incorporating both classroom activities and home activities that include both the student and their parents. Such activities ensure that they children and their parents have worked together to complete the assignment. For instance, during sports day, I ask the parent to run for a designated distance while carrying their infants. I give my students assignments concerning their parents, whom they have to ask in order to complete it. Such assignments include briefly describing what your mother or father does at work or how their parentsââ¬â¢ childhood was. I also provide a diary for parents to sign to ensure that their child has completed his/her homework given. This will ensure that the parent has checked to ensure that the homework was tackled successfully.

The judge relies heavily on the language used by the interpreter in order to write down his judgment and provide his theory of justice with respect to the pertaining case. One of the major shortcomings of this process off later has been privatization. In the current context the process of interpreting the dialogue of an accused or a witness inside the Court has bee privatized in most of the countries as of today, including England. And there have been some negative results of this trade, as the courts are not satisfied that the kind of work these private agencies are doing is upto the minimum standard of the Courts. It has also been alleged that those who all are working as interpreters in the Court of England have been handled very badly and have not been treated well enough by the agency, which hired them. One of the other trends, which have been significant off late in the field of interpretation services in Courts, is the fact that the art of Court interpretation has been heavily institutionalized by the private sector. The private sector has been playing the dominant role in making this process completely seamless in the way it functions. The future management issues pertaining to interpretation of language in Courts consists of improving the pay scale of the interpreters along with trying to include more and more people into the institution who are well qualified to take up the job of interpretation. The future requires a well-qualified stream of interpreters who are able to take up the job of interpretation in an extremely skilled and smart manner. These interpreters should have a judicial knowledge of the laws pertaining to the case and should be able to give the judge an unbiased and honest view of the case.

Such choice relies on the consideration of several factors as well as on weighing such factors. Network architecture selection, according to Palley, should take into consideration the following factors: Frequency of use of global data entails considering whether the use or sharing of data is localized. Basically, if data is to be shared by elements on a wider geographical area, much consideration must be given to the choice of architecture (i.e. ring/hierarchical). However, if the use of data is primarily localized, then such factor should not be much of an issue. Secondly, if global data is dynamic or heavily updated, considerations need to be made since the redundancy of data may lead to combinatorial update problems and data integrity problems. However, if data is static, redundancy of data would not be a problem; and "replicated" global data would be appropriate. Also, one needs to consider whether quick responses are needed when exchange of data occurs. In cases when response times are significant, the discussion of network efficiency becomes vital to the development and planning of the network. Undoubtedly, the size of the network should also be considered together with the o ther factors cited. Also, the budget given for the planning of the network is likewise vital since certain types of network architectures are more expensive than others. Lastly, one must anticipate future changes to the network as there are updates that need to be made every so often. The case of Blue Skies Inc. is to be discussed in this paper. Blue Skies Inc. is an organization that is currently considering expanding its services throughout the United States. Based in Des Moines, the company plans to open at least two reservation counters in every U.S. city with a population over 800,000, and create a Web site where customers can make reservations online. In such an environment, Blue Skies expects that they will handle 200,000 transactions on a daily basis. As such, the company requires the setting up of a network that can efficiently handle the aforementioned volume of transactions. Specifically, the appropriate choice of network architecture that will meet the needs of the organization must be determined. The choice of network architecture entails choosing either a terminal services or a mainframe based network. Before selecting the appropriate network architecture, the distinction between the two options must first be identified. Also, the known advantages of each of the two types of architectures must likewise be stated. According to Software Diversified Services (SDS), "Mainframes used to be defined by their size, and they can still fill a room, cost millions, and support thousands of users. But now a mainframe can also run on a laptop and support two users. So today's mainframes are best defined by their operating systems: Unix and Linux, and IBM's z/OS, OS/390, MVS, VM, and VSE." Also, John Campbell identifies three features that a mainframe based theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782615264085071326.post-78466323254934853472019-11-16T11:10:00.001-08:002019-11-16T11:10:14.841-08:00Phoenician Society: Seafaring and Maritime KnowledgePhoenician Society: Seafaring and Maritime Knowledge Discuss the role of seafaring and maritime knowledge within Phoenician society and its expansion. Introduction As a people the Phoenicians endured for some three thousand years and were already flourishing by 3,000 B.C. but it was not until about 1100 B.C., with the demise of the existing dominant peoples in the area, that the Phoenicians came to the fore as a significant force. From this time, until around 600 B.C., they dominated the Mediterranean by trading and establishing colonies one of the most important being Carthage. The success of their culture seems mainly to have been due to the proximity of the Mediterranean that encouraged dependence on seafaring and trade. Indeed, as Holst[1] indicates, international trade formed part of the guiding principles on which the Phoenician civilization was founded that also included a commitment to resilient partnerships, peaceful settlement of disputes, equality, privacy, religious freedom and respect of women. Although the majority of Phoenician trade was initially land based, a significant amount began to take place by sea[2] testified by the we alth of Tyre that, along with Byblos, Sidon, Arados and Simyra, were the main home-based Phoenician sea ports. Initially, Phoenician sea trade was mainly with the Greeks involving glass, slaves and Tyrian purple dye made from a sea shell called Murex and textiles coloured with such dyes formed one of the main Phoenician exports. Most of the major Mediterranean countries were involved in trade with the Phoenicians that included such commodities as cotton, timber, wool, precious stones, embroidery, wine, corn and various other foodstuff including spices whereas countries as far away as Spain traded metals such as tin, iron and lead.[3] The Importance of Trade Trade and colonisation originally centred on bartering indigenous timber as well as fishing skills, the latter of which is thought to have provided the competence for later seafaring abilities.[4] The far reaching sea trade of the Phoenicians took two forms ââ¬â with existing Phoenician colonies and countries in navigable reach. The colonies provided a means by which the home country could be assured of supplies of goods deemed essential. In this respect, Cyprus became a colony to ensure the supply of wood and copper, Sardinia and Spain for useful metals. In return for such goods, Phoenicia supplied such finished items as cotton and linen, pottery, ornaments, weapons, and glass. It was not, however, just with the Mediterranean that trade occurred but also with the Propontis and ports within the Black Sea.[5] The dominance of Phoenicians in seafaring has not gone without criticism however as early reports of such supremacy in Homerââ¬â¢s Odyssey, and also by Herodotus, has been viewed by some modern commentators as erroneous.[6] The extent of Phoenician preeminence in this respect seems to have been settled by Bassââ¬â¢s underwater excavations of the Cape Gelidonya wreck that highlights the extent of Phoenician trade.[7] The archaeological evidence from this excavation seems therefore to support the dominance of Phoenician seafaring from 1200 B.C. onwards. The recent discovery of two exceptionally large Phoenician merchant ships adds further substance to this view.[8] It is probable that the Phoenician maritime empire was preceded by trade with various outposts throughout the Mediterranean or otherwise began as safe anchorage points along the coast.[9] It was only later that these places became colonies set up to protect Phoenician interests that required ships of war which, unlike merchant vessels were employed all year round,[10] to protect both colonies and trade routes. The Phoenician character of many of these ports was lost due to the rise and dominance of other powers such as the Greeks and Romans that has masked the extent of Phoenician influence. Importantly, trade by sea was linked to specialist product areas that otherwise would not have come together that allowed the Phoenicians to establish a rate of exchange to their advantage.[11] Transportation of various metals available in the western Mediterranean by sea, such as Spanish silver, thus allowed the Phoenicians to link the demand in the east, from countries like Assyria etc., to the raw material centres of the west. The Phoenicians also took advantage of turning the raw materials transported from the west into quality refined goods to be later exported. These products, because they tended to be more refined and better quality than what most other countries could supply, were therefore much sought after and such goods have been found in western ports such as Carthage.[12] Moreover, the direct sea route through the Mediterranean provided the best means of direct and efficient transport of materials and products and the extent of this trade along the Mediterranean is confirmed by the fact that Phoenician coins came to be manufactured in Tyre from the fifth century B.C. onwards.[13] The Extent of Phoenician Trade Links It is thought that the growth in Assyrian power and pressure on the coastal cities first led the Phoenicians to turn to seafaring.[14] In this respect, Assyrian power is thought to have blocked access to resources to the east to the extent that the Phoenicians were obliged to turn west towards the Mediterranean for raw materials.[15] Others, however, contend that it was the growth in Assyrian wealth and power that stimulated Phoenician interest in Mediterranean seafaring because of the increased demands for products.[16] This could have likewise been hastened by the economic growth and increased demand of Tyre and other Phoenician ports for raw materials. It is likely, however, that rather than one factor there was a set of interrelated events involving political, historical, economic criteria that led to the Pheonician exploitation of the Mediterranean. Indeed, Tyre and associated ports were ideally situated to act as a conduit through which the products and resources of the Mediter ranean and countries to the east could be exchanged.[17] Moreover, a massive investment in time and resources would have been required to mount expeditions throughout the Mediterranean by sea that suggests Tyre was economically and politically secure. The exploits of the Phoenicians in the Mediterranean should not be viewed as exploration as most of the main sea routes had been charted during the Bronze Age. Rather the Phoenicians were able to use and improve their maritime skills to become the dominant force in the Mediterranean for six hundred years. Yet, there are reports that they ventured much further afield which suggest exploration was part of a general outlook. For example, Herodotus reports that they sailed down the Red Sea to circumnavigate Africa returning via the Straits of Gibraltar.[18] Some even propose that they may have voyaged as far as southern Britain to acquire Cornish tin but this was probably based on indirect rather than direct trade.[19] In this respect, reports of a tin ingot discovered in a Cornish harbour similar to those of ancient Crete remain controversial.[20] The Veneti of Brittany may also have actually been Phoenicians who controlled the trade route to Britain and were thought to be adept seafare rs. The control of trade routes seems to have been a characteristic of Phoenician dominance in that this allowed more exclusive access to resources around and outside the Mediterranean that helped to reinforce Phoenician power. The interest in regions outside the Mediterranean is supported by the notion that some coastal ports such as the present Portuguese port known as Peniche is claimed to derive from the Greek for Phoenicia.[21] Moreover, there are many Phoenician remains to be found along the Portuguese coast.[22] Such exploits beyond the Mediterranean may have partially been encouraged by the fact that the Greeks had prevented Carthage from gaining access to the home ports.[23] Indeed, it may have been the rise in Greek power that led to Carthage becoming such an important city port for the Phoenicians in the central Mediterranean and could have been a factor leading, in the 8th century B.C., to Carthage succeeding Tyre as the main Phoenician city. There is also some evidence that the Phoenicians may have even reached some of the Atlantic islands such as the Azores and Canaries.[24] Ultimately, it was the rise in Greek power in the east, the barrier of the Atlantic in the west and the rise of Rome that bought an end to Phoenician power.[25] In sum, the Phoenician influence along the Mediterranean coastline appears to be both a consequence of great initiative and impressive seafaring skills that was instigated by the promise of trade and pressures from the rise in other Mediterranean powers to the east. Types of Boats The initial attempts in seafaring by Phoenicians are thought to have been quite crude based on travel between islands by means of rafts followed by more sophisticated but still crude sailing vessels inspired by the need to fish.[26] The first boats seemed to have consisted of a keel, a rounded hull and a raised platform for the steersman with the oars intersecting the bulwark.[27] This formed a template for a subsequent craft where four upright rowers operated curved oars in a boat that lacked a rudder with a mast held aloft by two ropes secured at the front and rear of the vessel. The mast, however, seems not to have been used for a sail, but to support a viewing structure from which an archer or other attacker was able to launch missiles. From this, a larger vessel evolved with a low bow and raised stern with a rudder with a pointed prow and oars on each side of about fifteen to twenty in number that the Greeks referred to as triaconters and penteconters that are represented on coi ns but were shown without a mast so must have been a type of refined rowing boat. Around 700 B.C. further advances occurred in ship construction in that, instead of being situated on one level, rowers were now placed on two levels thus doubling the number of oarsmen. These vessels were known as ââ¬Å"biremesâ⬠by the Greeks and incorporated two steering oars issuing from the stern some with a mast and yardarm to support a sail that came in two forms one designed for war, the ââ¬Å"long shipâ⬠, and another, with a more rounded prow used for the purpose of trade.[28] Inspired by the Greek example, the Phoenicians also went on to develop their own version of the trireme with three levels of rowers.[29] The size of these vessels can be gauged by the fact that the top level consisted of 31 rowers.[30] The Phoenicians have also been credited with inventing both the keel and ram as well as the caulking of planks with bitumen though some believe that the ram or beaked prow is said to have been adopted by the Phoenicians from the Mycenaeans It was the use of an adjustable sail, more oarsmen and a double steering oar that led to increased speed and manoeuvrability allowing the furthest points of the Mediterranean to be reached and it was the round-shaped merchant ships called ââ¬Å"gaulosâ⬠that was mainly relied on in this respect.[31] Such innovations to ship construction illustrate the commitment of the Phoenicians to seafaring and their seafaring skills were so renowned throughout the ancient world that Phoenician ships and sailors were often co-opted into foreign war fleets.[32] Navigation The Phoenicians are thought to have invented the art of navigation. They used oars when there was little or no wind and large square sails at other times. Although they obviously practiced coastal navigation, the distribution of ports indicates that more long distance open sea voyages were also undertaken.[33] The fact that the Phoenicians had important centres at Sardinia, Sicily and Ibiza suggests that they often sailed the high seas. This would have involved extended periods at sea essential for the effective transportation of goods. They would probably, however, have employed short coastal journeys to travel from one port to the next but relied on deep sea navigation for longer voyages[34] and in places like the Aegean, with the many islands and dangerous currents, oars would have been used rather than sails. It is thought that the Phoenicians were also able to sail at night and used the Pole star and knowledge of astronomy for navigation. This knowledge along with the fact that , given favourable viewing conditions, land is nearly always visible anywhere in the Mediterranean -allowed the Phoenicians to use their seafaring skills to good effect. Conclusion The Phoenicians obviously depended on seafaring skills in order to extend trade links and their influence throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. This seems to have gone hand in hand with a need to develop more sea worthy vessels and navigational abilities to venture further into the open seas. Evidence from historical documents, such as found in Herodotus and others, indicate the extent of Phoenician maritime skills that evolved in tandem with the foundation of ever distant colonies and trading outposts. These skills seem to have been further encouraged by the advantages that came from the home ports being located where raw material from the west, which were in demand by countries in the Levant, could be traded for finished products. The Phoenicians were able to exploit this further by producing high quality manufactured goods that were exported to all areas thus increasing their economic power and wealth that allowed more sophisticated ships to be built for longer voyages. This te ndency is reflected in the progressive growth in Phoenician influence and colonisation from east to west from about 12,000 B.C. onwards. Trade went first, however, with colonisation following when the opportunity arose. Ultimately, however, Phoenician influence may have declined in the Mediterranean due to an over-reliance on seafaring that was unable to compete with more land based powers. In other words, their greatest strength eventually became their greatest weakness. Bibliography Aubert, M. E. (2001) The Phoenicians and the West ââ¬â Politics, Colonies and Trade.

Murder. Incest. Serial killers. Civil wars. Atomic bombs. Concentration Camps. Internment Camps. Prisoner of war. Capital punishment. Domestic abuse. Hate crimes. Natural disasters. Poverty. Suicides. Corruption. All of these things are awful problems that our world has encountered. But one very important problem is not listed. That problem is slavery. Slavery was, and is, one of the worst things our world has ever had to face and deal with, yet it is not talked about like rape and murder are. We avoid talking about slavery, why? We do not want to admit that it existed, that we made a huge mistake? People are in denial? I am not quite such why slavery has not been talked about more or why more people do not know more about slavery. I believe it is time to change that. I chose to write my reggae paper on how Jamaican slavery influenced, and is reflected in, reggae music. I decided to research this topic because I find it intriguing. Slavery, in my mind, is the most awful existence a person can experience. I do not think I will ever be able to fully comprehend how one human being could treat a fellow human being with such disregard. Every country has had some interaction with slavery, whether in the past or present. It is unbelievable that few people truly understand how prevalent and awful slavery was and still is. My paper will guide you through the history of Jamaican slavery, while inserting popular reggae music which I feel exemplifies the point I am trying to make: the history or Jamaica has affected reggae music. My paper describes the Transatlantic Journey, British rule in Jamaica, and what happened to the Jamaican people once they were emancipated. I feel that the lyrics I have chosen to incorporate into my paper are prime examples of how such popular reggae artists, such as Bob Marley and Burning Spear, were influenced by the oppression of their people. How Could Something As Awful As Slavery Have Begunâ⬠¦ Before I conducted my research, I was troubled over the fact that something as awful as slavery could be justified and executed. I could not comprehend how something of this magnitude could ever be carried out. It was a race destroying itself. I came to understand that slavery, just like every other awful thing that goes on in this world, was concealed as something else. theresalane1979http://www.blogger.com/profile/14110164913141214272noreply@blogger.com0
