Configuration approach To address the test of young men impression of perusing for delight and alluding to applicable writing, I chose to move toward the exploration utilizing triangulation so questioning of discoveries could be accomplished inside a generally short space of time. A blended technique research approach was utilized to respond to my examination question so that in completing a survey, follow up meetings and perceptions could happen to answer further hidden causes and questions. Cresswell at al. (1993) portrays the blended technique approach as gathering, examining and incorporating both subjective and quantitative information through a solitary or various examinations. In doing this Kettley (2012) composes that it takes into account the investigation of the two examples and reasons for conduct which can elevate the dependability of results. Be that as it may, Laws (2003) challenges this view, expressing that an assortment distinctive exploration viewpoints may not coordinate flawlessly as th ere could be complexity and struggle between discoveries. Laws (2003) suggests that a scientist ought to fundamentally break down any differences in discoveries so to make importance from them. What specialists have utilized it-for what reason is it acceptable Triangulation-what is it (ive utilized this technique however give some knowledge) Testing 300 words Morse and Niehaus (2009) see that testing techniques are planned to amplify the proficiency and legitimacy of exploration results. This examination included utilizing an intentional example, a procedure which is broadly utilized with the goal that people or gatherings of members are particularly proficient or experienced in ones line of request (Palinkas et al., 2013). For this examination, multi year three classes both from autonomous schools were picked to investigate the test of young men perusing for delight. My principle enthusiasm for this examination was to perceive how view of perusing contrasted between classes which had individuals that were thought to peruse more for joy, (for example, in a blended setting) in contrast with a class where the class was all young men and were generalized to be impartial to peruse in their spare time. These schools were picked as the quantity of young men in every year bunch were comparative and were of difference as far as single sex or blen ded. The two schools were from a similar area of Oxfordshire, and all individuals from staff in every year bunch were female. The two gatherings of understudies were, albeit decided on school foundation type, not founded on foreordained perspectives on perusing for joy. Patton (2002) features that the utilization of an intentional example is to catch significant varieties through the examination of results as opposed to distinguish a typical center. Because of the absence of single sex grade schools, a private blended school was picked as the complexity so that as far as kinds of schools these were the equivalent. If I somehow happened to do this exploration once more, I would include increasingly single sex and blended schools in my examination with the goal that my outcomes were not summed up Perception Observational information is an appealing type of information assortment as it permits the specialist to assemble proof from genuine circumstances (Cohen et al., 2000). Toward the start of every week in the schools, I watched the kids in their learning condition, focusing particularly on the day by day schedule and how English was educated. I decided to utilize perceptions as one of my examination strategies as it permits you direct access to social associations which can be of center to the exploration intrigue (Simpson and Tuson, 1995) while likewise seeing and breaking down the physical, human, interactional and program setting (Cohen at al., 2000). Utilizing a semi-organized perception approach permitted me to inundate myself in the circumstance so I could see how perusing for delight was advanced inside the study hall and how youngsters responded to perusing in the homeroom condition. As I was contrasting two distinctive year bunches from various schools, utilizing the unstructu red methodology took into account components of the observational circumstance represent themselves, instead of setting up a perception plan (Cohen et al., 2000). Thomas (2009) states that albeit an unstructured perception might be simpler in contrast with organized, it includes a lot of preliminary work so one can turn out to be a piece of the circumstance and requires affectability, thought and responsibility to dissect the discoveries definitively. Punch (1998) features different challenges expressing that as far as recording information, the adaptable idea of observational strategies, the account of information can possibly become adaptable moreover. To defeat this expected obstruction, just noted qualities from every class as far as the physical condition, the connections to education in exercises, childrens conduct lastly educators systems. Every single observational technique have points of interest and drawbacks, anyway with cautious planning, they can be useful assets in in creasing significant examination proof. Poll A poll was chosen to be utilized to discover the childrens perspectives on perusing for delight, too discovering what different side interests they like to do in their extra time and how frequently they occupied with perusing for joy in their available time. Dim (2004) suggests that surveys are utilized when working with a huge crowd where normalized questions are required. Utilizing polls as an exploration strategy permits an investigative methodology which can be utilized to investigate connections between factors. Gillham (2000) features that there are a couple of beneficial parts of a polls which has prompted it being a well known decision of examination strategy. A portion of these components incorporate minimal effort, speedy information recovery and the way that polls can be sent to a huge size of individuals in brief period. Gillham (2000) additionally features that obscurity can be guaranteed while utilizing a survey anyway he likewise brings up that from a more minor perspe ctive, analysts might know about qualities of respondents and thusly ready to recognize answers dependent on a character profile. In the same way as other examination strategies, surveys have their downsides. Gillham (2000) exhorts that if a poll is to be inherently persuading for members, the length should run somewhere in the range of four and six pages. Robson (2011) further features that the inspiration of a member could influence the information prompting a less legitimate outcome. To beat these obstructions, I picked 12 inquiries, a significant number of which were shut inquiries which required small reasoning time. Two open inquiries were utilized to discover their view point on why they delighted in or disdained perusing, and what might rouse them to peruse more for joy. Because of the obscurity of surveys, analysts can't distinguish deluding or saucy answers, and if no further follow-up perceptions or meetings are included, specialists will be unable to recognize genuine portrayals. As I utilized two other examination strategies close by surveys, I had the option to recognize a progressively substantia l portrayal of kids and instructors perspectives in contrast with simply utilizing one technique alone. Utilizing the equivalent normalized questions which have been steered and changed if vital, it is conceivable to increase a high dependability of reaction (Robson, 2011). Preceding the exploration occurring, I messaged the surveys to the two schools and tried the inquiries for lucidity with an outside 8-year-old kid so the inquiries were clear and the jargon was age suitable. Meeting I chose to utilize semi organized meetings with both the educators of year three from the two schools and a choice of 4 young men who were esteemed hesitant perusers by their instructors. This was with the goal that my examination could be additionally bolstered and a more profound comprehension of the two instructors and young men could be accomplished. Arksey and Knight (1999) remark that the strategy for meeting permits members to communicate their emotions and impression of their general surroundings. This further concurred by Cohen and Marion (1997) featuring that one of the principal purposes behind utilizing interviews as a component of an examination approach is to accumulate data on a people information, worth and disposition which can be utilized related to different strategies, for example, a review. These meetings were attempted after they had finished the survey, with the goal that I had the option to acquire understanding into what persuaded young men to peruse in the h omeroom and at home, and what might inspire them further to peruse for joy. In spite of the fact that the inquiries for every understudy was the equivalent, a semi-organized methodology was utilized so answers could be explained further and I could increase an increasingly straightforward comprehension. Utilizing semi organized meetings while exploring childrens perspectives is perfect, particularly when utilized nearby youngster neighborly language and meeting in places in which the kid knows about (Graham et al., 2012). Each class instructor was additionally addressed on which systems they used to advance perusing for delight. As half of the educators were from the blended school, the inquiries were worded somewhat distinctively as I needed to discover how they persuaded the young men. The entirety of the meetings with every understudy was recorded as opposed to making notes on what was being said. This was with the goal that I could focus on their non-verbal communication and verbal reaction simultaneously instead of focusing essentially on simply verbal criticism. It has been accounted for that taking notes during a meeting can divert the questioner from the focal point of the discussion which can bring about lost basic data (Britten, 1995) in this way utilizing an excellent recorder nearby note taking on the members non-verbal communication and feelings can altogether diminish the probability of blunder or confusions during information examination (Fernandez and Griffiths, 2007). As most of the meetings were with the kids, it was significant that the youngsters could see that I had their complete consideration, and that b piatrafsinto1982http://www.blogger.com/profile/13917913865043383246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062741578987981564.post-6131531757597464882020-08-22T23:45:00.001-07:002020-08-22T23:45:30.546-07:00Sample of DocumentEntity:| Vietcombank| | Period ended:| 31/12/2012| Significant class of exchanges/huge divulgence process name:| Credit beginning â⬠Transaction processing| | Significant class of exchanges/critical revelation process owner:| Credit Policty at HODebt the board division Client Division | |We acquire a comprehension of the huge classes of exchanges (SCOTs) and noteworthy exposure procedures to recognize and comprehend the dangers of material error at the attestation level (I. e. , what can go wrongs (WCGWs)) and, when appropriate, to distinguish and comprehend the powers over the WCGWs.

Watching something go from nothing to everything is stunning. In the book Cry, the Beloved Country, by Alan Paton, reclamation is one of the primary topics of the book. I am going to discuss two principle models; a citation from a character and the criticalness of a specific character. The principal thing building up the idea of rebuilding is the character Napoleon. Napoleon was a reference utilized in the story. He was a demonstrator that went to the city of Ndotsheni to help them ââ¬Ëget in a good place once more' by showing them how to proficiently farm.However, his recommendation was not actually welcomed. As a character, he is very like Napoleon Bonaparte, a French chief. Them two had extremely supportive plans to improve life for everybody, except not every person valued his recommendations. The Napoleon in the story likewise represents beginning the procedure of reclamation. When Ndotsheni at long last acknowle dges his recommendation and starts doing things all the more productively, it's a tremendous defining moment for the city. Likewise representing the reclamation procedure is the expressions of another character, Father Vincent. Highlight Articleà Country Schoolà Allen CurnowFear is an excursion, a horrible excursion, yet distress is at any rate an arrivingâ⬠, he says, while encouraging Stephen Kumalo. At the point when he says this, he likewise alludes to the idea of reclamation, in light of the fact that later in the statement, he references assembling a house, straightforwardly saying that you can revamp what you have lost. I've quite recently given two models on how various sorts of material in a similar book can mean nearly precisely the same thing. Watching reclamation is as yet exciting for me, regardless of whether it be, all things considered, or in an anecdotal town. piatrafsinto1982http://www.blogger.com/profile/13917913865043383246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062741578987981564.post-64457697205744368642020-08-21T21:27:00.001-07:002020-08-21T21:27:22.041-07:00Theodore Roosevelt2 essaysTheodore Roosevelt2 papers Theodore Roosevelt was the twenty-6th leader of the US. He served in office from 1901 to 1909. With the death of President McKinley, Roosevelt, not exactly 43, turned into the most youthful President in the Nations history. Roosevelts youth was altogether different from a large portion of the different Presidents. He was conceived in New York City in 1858 into a rich family. His life was tormented at an early stage by medical issues and sickness which he survived. The vanquishing of his evil wellbeing prompted Roosevelt supporting a difficult way of life. In 1884, his first spouse, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mom passed on around the same time. Following their demises, Roosevelt went through two years on his farm in the Dakota Domain. At his farm, he invested his energy driving dairy cattle, major game chasing and even caught a bandit. During an outing to London, Britain, he wedded Edith Carow in December 1886. Roosevelt was a lieutenant colonel in the Rough Rider Regiment during the Spanish- American War. He was one of the most recalled saints of the war, driving a charge at the skirmish of San Juan.

Where as the book A Little Commonwealth mirrors the situation wherein the Puritans lived. The greater part of the houses in the Puritan Colonial time were little, dull, agonizing and meagerly outfitted. This permitted the Puritans to utilize each accessible space in the home. For models, the greater part of the goods and utensils utilized by the Puritans had more than one usea trunk would be utilized for capacity as well as for sitting upon or perhaps a table. Besides on account of their way of life, they needed to convey inventories, which were massive and were positioned at the corner. In a manner to exhibit his/her remaining in the network and to affirm his/her own mental self view, the Puritans saw their riches by material and substantial acquisitions. Their humble attire indicated exactly what their standing was in the network. More garments, books (regardless of whether they couldn't peruse), materials and such things were seen as cash in the bank, in spite of the fact that gems, in any event, wedding rings, were not viewed as substantial riches in the Puritans. The families were very close. While they lived in such confined quarters they were by all accounts ready to live quietly and by speak with one another. As opposed to quarrel among themselves the Puritans, by method for uprooted outrage, would regularly have contentions with their neighbors as opposed to upsetting the amicability in their own family unit. The greater part of the families, inside a given network at a given point in time, exemplified the essential model of spouse, wife, and youngsters. While the nuclear family was close, the Puritans would regularly had agreement help, ideally by formal apprenticeship, on their youngsters because of absence of family unit space. Hirelings lived on very close terms inside their new family yet not similarly. On account of affliction of the Master, when the Master was well and, no longer wanted to have a hireling, or died, the agreement was considered satisfied. Now and again, the Master, in his will, would cause a particular to hand down to the worker in of acknowledgment of their fellowship and fondness to that hireling appeared, however this was uncommon. In spite of the fact that remarkable Negros and Indians workers were generally viewed as a feature of the perishing keeps an eye on home and were given to his beneficiaries alongside others sorts of properties. In contrast to todays youthfulness, Puritan kids knew from an early age where they have a place in the family, what was anticipated from them and what they would do likely for the remainder of their lives. The seniors accepted the kids ought not realize they have their very own will. From the earliest starting point they were dressed and treated as smaller than expected grown-ups and took in their stations by partaking in the exercises of their folks. This helped them develop early and play their individual jobs in the general public. Given that the Puritans were a strict gathering of individuals, still the relationships were performed by Civil Magistrates and were seen as a common service and not as a strict one. Being hitched and on their own a youthful wedded couple would even now be obligated to their folks most occasions until middle age because of a paranoid fear of exclusion of land that was given to them in marriage. On normal the time of marriage was a lot higher than one could picture. A male would wed when he would be 25-27, where as a female would wed by 20-22. Men required ladies to deal with their homes and repeat and ladies required men for budgetary strength ; security. Ladies seldom had place where there is their own, the children would be given land and the ladies were given utensils or animals.

The appalling event that led to the fatal deaths of thousands of people is still a triggering occurrence that still effects society today. Although this event attracted a lot of controversy within several theories about who is at fault for it sinking, there is one obvious answer. That answer is Bruce Ismay, head of the company who owned The Titanic. Ismay caused this tragedy by three impactful decisions. By limiting the number of lifeboats, rushing travel, and using poor engineering, all effected the deaths of many people. Who is Bruce Ismay you may ask, and why is he the cause of the well-known tragedy, The Titanic? Bruce Ismay was the owner of the company, White Star Line who later became chairman for fourteen years. As a creator of other ships including the Olympic, The Titanic would have been his crowning achievement. He and his company spent over two years creating the ship. The first dreadful decision that Ismay made while creating the ship was limiting the number of lifeboats. It was first discovered by the chief designer of the Titanic that Ismay made the decision to regulate how many lifeboats could be permitted on the ship. This ship could fit at least forty-eight lifeboats in the deck. While knowing this, Ismay still insisted on having only sixteen on the boat. This amount was enough to save about one-third of the crew and passengers who were on board of the ship. That is thirty-two less lifeboats that were not on the ship the could have saved dozens and dozens of more people. The ship was first made to have about thirty-two boats, but because they thought that the deck of the boat would be extremely filled, the number was condensed. The argument that Ismay revealed was, Why litter the deck, when the ship is herself a lifeboat. He believed that when a disaster strikes, the boat would save them, but little did he know, that would not be the case. If there were a more amount of the sixteen lifeboats given, then how many less people could have died? Crew and passengers included there was 2229 people, 1503 of that total, died that night. Most of the lifeboats that left the Titanic that night carried only twenty-eight people, when they could have held sixty-four people. Although there were enough life jackets for everyone, that was not enough to save all those people from dying. During the horrible events that occurred, on the last lifeboat, Ismay not only took the last seat but he went ahead of all the other passengers. Women and children were the first priority to be on the lifeboats but even though Ismay knew this, he took advantage of the situation. It was also discovered that the crew were least priority to enter the lifeboats it was the passengers who were supposed to go first. So, most of the ships men an d crew were left to die that night because there were not enough boats on the ship to save them. Sir Alfred Chalmers expressed, If the Titanic had carried fewer lifeboats, more people might have been saved, since the existing boats would have been filled to capacity instead of partially empty when the ship sank. The question that is left with people today is, if Bruce Ismay allowed more lifeboats on the ship, how many people would have still been alive? It was not just Ismays decision about how many lifeboats would be on the ship, but it was the rushed travel that caused the fatal crash. On June 1914, not only was Ismay questioned about the amount of lifeboats, but also the speed of the Titanic. Two surviving passengers from the ship, Elizabeth Lines and Emily Ryerson negated Ismays statement on trial from what the heard on the ship. On Saturday, April 13th, Ms. Lines caught a two-hour conversation between Bruce Ismay and Captain E.J. Smith. Ismay caught her attention when she heard him say, We made better today than we did yesterday, and we will make a better run tomorrow than we did today. By saying this, he meant that they would arrive one day earlier then they initially arranged. Every day, Ismay wanted the captain to continue a faster speed then the day before. Not only did she witness him saying that, but she also heard him say, We will beat Olympic and get in to New York on Tuesday. He stated that by arriving earlier, they would have beaten another ship, the Olympic that was on the same route. Ms. Ryerson remembered seeing Ismay with a message in his hand later the following day. The message that he had stated, We are in among icebergs. Regardless of knowing that they were near dangerous icebergs, he still continued going at a faster speed. He told her that in order to surprise everyone that night with a quicker arrival, he would be placing additional boilers to go faster. No matter hearing anything about icebergs nearby, he wanted to keep going. His reason behind for continuing a rapid speed, was fame. If this White Star Lines chairman, Bruce Ismay, arrived at their destination earlier then they had planned and at a fast speed, he would have been well kno wn everywhere. He wanted to prove that his company, White Star Line could sail all the way across the Atlantic in just six days. By doing so, he hassled Captain Smith to now slow down but go faster as they passed through the ice fields. A book was published about the Titanic that stated the rivalry that White Star line had with other competing companies, especially Cunard Line. The ship was all about success and fame for Ismay, not about safety for others. piatrafsinto1982http://www.blogger.com/profile/13917913865043383246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062741578987981564.post-19903339799603961322020-05-26T09:58:00.001-07:002020-05-26T09:58:05.115-07:00What Everybody Dislikes About Essay Topics on Educational Reform in Texas and Why What Everybody Dislikes About Essay Topics on Educational Reform in Texas and Why You thought that war may be coming.

Particularly in the South Pacific, where the resources are limited compared to large continents. The delicate relationship between the ecological systems of the Pacific makes these resources often scarce that are getting depleted at a faster rate than it is being recovered by the natural systems. Logging is an example of such an activity, which has dramatically increased as a direct consequence of the rising populations (For example, Solomon Islands). Indigenous people of the Pacific damaged many landscapes and habitats upon settlement. Deforestation (linked to logging) was a major disturbance on the islands of the South Pacific. On the contrary, the early settlers also learnt self-subsistence farming and positive forestry practices that are still widely used today (Clarke, 1990). Researchers have found a strong linkage between populati on size and depletion of natural resources. For example, Papua New Guinea or PNG was heavily covered in natural rain forest until the 1980, after when it was severely logged (Filer, 2013).

When performing a cultural assessment of an individual one must take into account five important aspects of the individualââ¬â¢s heritage. These aspects will give the nurse an idea of the patientââ¬â¢s heritage consistency. First, is the individualââ¬â¢s culture. Everyone has a culture. There are four basic characteristics of culture. First, it is learned; from birth one is learning the language and socialization of that culture. Second, it is shared. All the members of the same group share that culture. Third, it is adapted. Culture adapts to environmental and technical factors, as well as the groups availability to natural resources. Finally, it is dynamic. Meaning, it is always changing (Jarvis, 2008). The second aspect of oneââ¬â¢s heritage is ethnicity. We will write a custom essay sample on Cultural Assessment Nursing or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page This is a group within the social system that have a common geographical origin, race, religion, values, traditions and food preferences. The term ethnic is tricky in the United States (US) because of how large the US is, and the large diversity of ethnic differences it has. Religion is the third aspect of oneââ¬â¢s heritage. Religion is extremely important because an individualââ¬â¢s religious beliefs play a huge part in oneââ¬â¢s health-related behaviors and how someone perceives illness and death. There are roughly 1500 different religions in the United States which is why this aspect is so important when performing an individualââ¬â¢s cultural assessment (Jarvis, 2008). The fourth aspect of oneââ¬â¢s heritage is socialization. When someone is raised in a specific culture, the person naturally acquires the characteristics of that group. Many people in the United States are bicultural, acquiring certain customs and traditions of the United States while staying loyal to their traditional culture as best they can. Time orientation is the fifth and final aspect of oneââ¬â¢s heritage. Every culture has a different understanding of each otherââ¬â¢s perception of time. Depending on the individualââ¬â¢s heritage, that person may focus on the past, the present, the future, or a combination of the three. It is important for the nurse to recognize the individualââ¬â¢s perception of time to gain a better understanding of how to individualize a plan of care. To gain a better understanding of cultural assessment and how it relates to health care and being culturally competent, a sit down interview was performed with an 84 year old female of German-American heritage, who believes that any belief or view differing greatly from hers are strange, and usually wrong (Riley, 2008). In order to preserve her right to privacy, she will be referred to as G. E. Heritage Assessment Cultural Group G. E. is 84 years old and was born and raised in the United States. She considers herself an American who is extremely proud of her German heritage. She is 100% of German decent. She had one older sister who is deceased. Her immediate family was all born in rural Illinois. Her father built a house in Coal Valley, IL when she was very young, where she lived until she was married at the age of 18. Her paternal grandparents were both born in Germany. It is unknown what city or village in Germany they came from, other than the northern part of Germany. They immigrated to the United States shortly before her father was born. She remembers her grandparents speaking little to no English, then, eventually broken English. Her father spoke English as a first language and some German. Her mother, her sister and she ever learned the German language. English was the only language spoken in the home. Her father was a coal miner and her mother took care of the home. In her culture, each generation lived in separate homes, whereas in some cultures, multiple generations live in the same household. However, her grandparents and extended family members did live nearby, so she s pent a lot of time playing with her cousins, and saw her grandparents, aunts and uncles on a regular basis. They would all get together on Sundays after church, and have lunch together. She lived at home until she married at the age of 18. G. E. ent to public schools, then to secretary school after graduation. Her husband was also 100% of German decent. They had two sons and a daughter. Both of her sons live close by, but her daughter lives in Nebraska. Her daughter and she talk on the phone every day. Her husband was in the US Navy during WWII and her husband and she were very patriotic. Like she has stated earlier, she is an American. Other than that, she did not know much about the war or Hitler or just did not remember. What she did remember when asked about this subject was the fact that a few of her husbandsââ¬â¢ ancestors were drivers for Hitler during his reign. Ethnic Group G. E. ââ¬â¢s ethnicity focuses around her family and church. Even though her fatherââ¬â¢s parents were born in Germany, there is no indication that they were passing down many values, traditions, or food preferences to the new generations. By all accounts, they wanted to completely immerse themselves into the American way of life. The only German recipes that were passed down to her were for sauerkraut, German pigs-in-a-blanket, which included sauerkraut, and German potato salad. Her family also eats a lot of beef, pork, and chicken. Potatoes are also a staple of her diet. For many years, G. E. and her husband would grow a big garden and produced enough vegetables for the entire winter months. Traditions are very important to G. E. For many years her family would come to her house after church for Sunday lunch and also for Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving the grandchildren would come over to decorate the Christmas tree. She still has her family over every Christmas Eve. She says she does not cook a meal anymore, she orders a meat and cheese tray, and makes some side dishes. The other family members bring over the desserts. She also used to have a birthday party for her children and grandchildren. She baked a cake and the family would come over and eat dinner. The birthday person got to pick the dinner, and would then open presents. Her grandchildren bring her great-grandchildren to see her at least once a month. She says she enjoys it when they come to visit. She really enjoys seeing the great-grandchildren. She says that it makes her feel proud. Religious Group Religion is the most important aspect of G. E. ââ¬â¢s life besides her family, and always has been. G. E. and her family are Protestants. Knowing that most of her ancestors came from the northern part of Germany, this is interesting because in Germany, Protestantism is practiced predominantly in northern Germany (Fuller amp; Vossmeyer, 2004), which is where her ancestors lived. This is proof that their religion has been passed down through the generations and still continues to be practiced. Her husband and his family, who are all deceased now, shared the same ethnic and religious background as her family. She regularly attends a Presbyterian church at least once a week and is a very active member of the church. Her husband would fill in as pastor when the regular pastor could not. She practices her religion in her home every day by praying and reading the Bible. G. E. celebrates all of the holidays of her religion which are Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with her family. She states that her religion has no influence on her diet or health practices. G. E. believes in heaven and hell, which is common to many German religions (Fuller amp; Vossmeyer, 2004). She insists that younger family members who do not go to church attend church with her at least once a year. She does not like the fact that her other family members do not attend church. She feels in order to get into heaven one has to attend church occasionally. Social Group Most, but not all, of her friends share the same ethnic and religious background. She also has a few Hispanic friends whom she enjoys spending time. She still lives in her home in the same neighborhood in which she has lived for over 50 years. The neighborhood is located close to the church and most of her neighbors are close in age. Most of them attend the same church and are of the same ethnic background. She has always had a very active social life which can contribute to her excellent health. She goes to a senior activities hall twice a week to play bingo and has a swimming class twice a week to exercise and socialize with friends. She goes to have her hair done every Saturday which she has done for many years. She regularly goes out to lunch and to watch a movie with friends once or twice a month and is on the phone a lot with family and friends. She made sure to mention is that she absolutely does not like to travel and has never been outside of the United States. When her children were young they would take camping trips to Wisconsin and Minnesota. That was pretty much the extent of her travels. As a result, her sons do not like to travel much either but her daughter enjoys traveling. Her daughter has been to many countries and G. E. does not understand why she enjoys it so much. Time Orientation G. E. ââ¬â¢s time orientation focuses on the present and the future with little to no focus on the past. She feels at her age, focusing on the past is a waste of time. She says, ââ¬Å"I just move onâ⬠(G. E. 2011). She does not like to dwell on the past. She says, ââ¬Å"whatââ¬â¢s done is doneâ⬠. Although she misses her husband very much she believes she will meet up with him in heaven one day. She enjoys the thought of that. She does not think of health care in terms of the past either. She follows her doctorââ¬â¢s advice and is open to new treatments and medications. This is another reason she is in excellent health for an 84 year old woman. She does not like the thought of a doctor not knowing the latest in medical technology and treatments. She also is not bothered if health care personnel are not culturally sensitive to her heritage since she sees herself as an American who is proud of her German heritage. G. E. is uncomfortable with doctors who are not Caucasian. She also does not like to be cared for by male nurses or other male caregivers who are not doctors. Health Related Beliefs and Practices G. E. has health insurance and Medicare, so she is able to see the doctor on a regular basis. Lack of insurance coverage is not a factor for her. She never goes without her medication because of lack of prescription coverage. Also, with the money she and her husband saved over the years, plus both of their retirement packages and social security benefits, she lives comfortably and does not have to worry about not having enough money to live out the rest of her life in the lifestyle she leads. Developmental Situation G. E. remembers things her mother did when G. E. was a child to maintain and protect her health. She had to wash her hands regularly, especially before and after meals and after using the bathroom. She always had three meals a day which consisted of foods from all of the food groups. In the winter she could not go outside until she was bundled up. When she did get sick, she had to stay home in bed until her mother thought she was feeling better. This was solely the job of her mother since her father worked long hours in the coal mines. She states that her mother was the stereotypical strict, but loving, German mother. When she started her own family, she ran her home in the same manner. She was raised during the Great Depression and was raised to be hard working and to appreciate what one has, which G. E. has instilled in her children. G. E. is accomplishing all the developmental tasks of her age group and has successfully resolved Ericksonââ¬â¢s last ego stage, which is the psychological conflict of ego integrity versus despair. In this stage, ââ¬Å"resolution to this final conflict occurs when the adult accepts oneââ¬â¢s one and only life cycle as something that had to be and that, by necessity, permitted of no substitutionsâ⬠(Jarvis, 2008, p. 8). Causes of Illness G. E. describes illness as not being able to do the things she normally does and she defines health as having no aches or pains. She rates her health as good to excellent for a woman of her age. She has never smoked, however, her husband smoked a pipe for years. She does not use any devices to help her get around and she still goes up and down the stairs to do laundry. She states she has fallen a few times but has never broken a bone as a result, and was able to get back up on her own. She has never been hospitalized as a result of an illness, only for an occasional elective surgery. What she believe causes illness are environmental change, Godââ¬â¢s punishment, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, incorrect food combinations, poor eating habits, smoking, inactivity, and viruses and bacteria. Cultural Practices in Healing and Health She maintains and protects her health by washing her hands regularly, taking her prescribed medications, staying active, eating a well-balanced diet based on the food pyramid, taking vitamin supplements, seeing her doctors regularly, staying inside when it is too hot or too cold, avoids people who are sick, and does not take on more than she thinks she can handle. When she does get sick she does not make a big deal out of it and does not feel the need to worry family members. She stays at home because she fears getting others sick as well, especially her great-grandchildren. She takes care of herself by getting enough rest, keeping herself hydrated, not eating certain foods she knows will make her feel worse, taking needed medications, and calling her doctor when she feels she needs to be seen. When G. E. feels she needs some lab work done, other tests, or has any concerns, she immediately calls her doctor. She trusts in her doctorââ¬â¢s advice and always follows his or her orders. It is because of all of this, she believes she is still living an active and healthy life. G. E. is also extremely concerned with the health and well-being of her family. When her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are sick, she worries about them and calls them regularly to check on them. She also prays for them to get well. Cultural Expressions of Illness G. E. does whatever her doctor suggests and does not believe he would do anything to jeopardize her health. However, as far as family and friends go, she will not outwardly express indications of pain. She states that it is because she does not want people to worry about her. G. E. believes this is due to her strict German up-bringing and growing up during the Great Depression. She believes one can never work too hard, so pain is seen as a weakness to her. The more she expresses pain or illness, the weaker she is seen, and possibly unable to effectively take good care of herself. Alternative assisted living is not an option G. E. needs at this point. G. E. feels she does not need it, and she absolutely will not burden her children with having to care for her. Cultural use of Alternative Therapies G. E. sometimes uses home remedies when she is ill. When she was a child her mother would use some vapor rub then put a sock around G. E. ââ¬â¢s neck. G. E. ââ¬â¢s mother would feed her chicken soup and give her juice or hot tea to drink, and keep her in bed. G. E. believes that healing and curing are the same and believes that praying, following the doctors orders, getting recommended treatments and taking prescribed medications brings healing. In the past few years G. E. has used alternative therapies to help with pain and arthritis. She gets acupuncture once a week, and sees a massage therapist occasionally. She admits, ten years ago she would have never done these types of alternative therapies, but her daughter is a nurse, and recommended it as an alternative to pain medication. She also admits that it does help, or she would not pay to go, but she feels it does not cure anything. She still has to supplement the pain with medications from time to time. Summary G. E. ââ¬â¢s interview was conducted at her home, and it took about an hour and a half. She would often change the subject, so having to restate questions happened often. She felt comfortable being in her home answering these questions, but often asked why an assessment of this type was so important. She has no issues with cultural sensitivity, or nurses being culturally competent, and has had little experience with other cultures. G. E. does not understand the need for such learning. Her views are ethnocentric, and at 84 years old, that will probably not change. During the interview, both open-ended and close-ended questions were used to gain the most information. She was very open to doing the interview, but stated she did not think she had much to contribute. She states she has lived a wonderful, privileged life with a loving husband, and a great family. She has never been disappointed by her family and is extremely proud of them. The only regret she has, has to do with her sister. They lived about five properties apart from each other, and some land next to her sister that G. E. owned, her sister planted a garden there for years. Well, G. E. gave the property to her daughter and son in-law to build a home. Her sister got extremely upset, which ended up with their families not talking for years. Then she received word that her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, and G. E. called her up, and they reconciled. Unfortunately, she died shortly after that. G. E. has never gotten over that. Because of that, she is continually telling her family not to bicker over the small stuff, and that oneââ¬â¢s family is all one has, and the people who love them the most in this world. Even though G. E. will not openly express pain to anyone except her doctor, the rest of her family will openly talk about any illness they have or pain they are experiencing. This is something she practically requires of them. She says it is like ââ¬Å"do as I say, not as I doâ⬠. This goes back to her not wanting to be a burden on anyone, yet she has to know that her family is alright. It is perfectly fine for her family to be a burden on her, because to her it is not a burden. She sees it as her responsibility. She states that her family always tells her she will never be a burden, but she is too stubborn to listen to them. She is the mother and she knows best. She says her family jokes to her that they are 50 something year old adults, yet they still feel like children when they are around her and have to do what their mother says or there will be trouble. She finds this very amusing. She does not believe in cremation and plans to be buried alongside her husband. She has all of her final arrangements already planned and paid for, again, as not to burden her family. Many members of her family plan to be cremated and she cannot understand why. She believes oneââ¬â¢s soul will not go to heaven if the body is cremated. There were no communication barriers while interviewing G. E. It was a very easy and pleasant interview. G. E. enjoyed talking about her heritage and family. G. E. is a very active and healthy woman for her 84 years, and she cannot wait until she can reunite with her husband in Heaven. She prays to her husband every night. Personal Reflection Writing a cultural assessment about someone from a different generation was very interesting for me. While some of the information I received during the interview was similar to my own personal beliefs, most were not. Being two generations younger than G. E. makes a huge difference in certain beliefs. My mother is 100% Swedish and my father was a Vietnam veteran who is 50% German, with some English, French and more German. Growing up, my family did not follow any ethnic traditions and had no heritage related beliefs other than being American. We were a middle class family and as a child I thoroughly enjoyed life. I have one younger sister, and we, for the most part, were spoiled. I think that has to do with having baby boomers for parents. We took dance classes and I was a gymnast through junior high school. We had a whole neighborhood of other children our age. We were outside from morning until evening, especially in the summer. Both of my parents worked and provided us with whatever we needed. My parents made me attend Sunday school every week until I was about 12. After that, I attended church only a few times a year. Religion does not play a big role in my culture. Even at Sunday school, it did not make much sense to me, but I was too young really understand. My parents and grandparents always had a strong work ethic and I also do as a result. My parents wanted me to be my own person and choose my own path as long as it was an honest path. I live within a mile from my parents and from my sister so we see each other frequently. My parents help out my husband and me with our children. I have two sons and a daughter who are ages three, four, and six. One thing that differs from G. E. and me is that I like to know about the past as well as the present and future. One thing that we agree on is that we see our doctor regularly and rely on the latest in medical technology and medications. When we are both ill, we tend to use the same methods to take care of ourselves. However, I am not one to hide any pain or illness I have from my family; when I am sick or in pain, everyone knows about it. Also, the way we in which we raise our children is different. G. E. raised her children in a loving, but more strict, manner. I do not raise my children in such a strict manner. I raise them like my parents raised me. They are very different styles, but I do not know that one is better than the other. They both have positive and negative parts to them. In G. E. ââ¬â¢s generation the woman usually stayed home to take care of the family. In my generation I feel many women enjoy getting an education and usually find it a necessity to work outside of the home. I know I would enjoy the best of both worlds, to contribute to the family income, yet limiting my work outside the home to part time until the children are older. One thing about religion I also learned was how important it was to G. E. Other than her family, her religion was most important to her life, which is very different from me. As I stated earlier, religion has virtually no importance in my life. Also, I do not consider myself to be ethnocentric. I have yet to meet a person whose religion, culture, ethnicity, or heritage shocked or bothered me. As long as I do not feel that I am being pushed into one belief or another, I am fine. Everyone needs to find the path that makes one happy, healthy, and whole. I want to be a nurse because I like people. I feel I can make a difference in this career by letting my patients know that I genuinely care for their well-being and want them to lead the best possible life they can. I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for the last 6 years and I enjoy it. I think by becoming a nurse I can do even more to help them. It is an awful experience to go to see the doctor, and feel like cattle being shipped in and out of the office at record speed. I like the thought of, as nurses, we take a holistic approach to healing that I feel doctorââ¬â¢s lack. Patients need to feel they can openly discuss their problems and that someone is actually listening to them and taking time to talk about it with them without judgment or prejudice; to come up with a plan of care that suits everyone involved, as much as possible. I realize since I do work in a hospital that there will not always be a happy ending. Some patients can be difficult to care for, but as a nurse, I need to understand that they are there because they are ill, which has an effect on their personality and mental status. I must have empathy for them, as difficult as that may be sometimes. I know that when I am not feeling well, my personality changes, as does everyoneââ¬â¢s. I feel the issues I need to work on most is the language barriers when they arise, and patientââ¬â¢s family dynamics. The diverse and often complex dynamics of a patientââ¬â¢s family is extremely difficult to understand. It will take time to develop a way to handle these often difficult situations. No family has the same relationship, so as a nurse I must go in prepared for anything, and keep an open, non-judgmental frame of mind while performing a cultural assessment on the patient. Writing this paper has made me even more sensitive to peopleââ¬â¢s cultural differences. No matter what background one comes from, most people essentially want similar things when it comes to healthcare. One wants to be seen as an individual, rather than a number. We want compassionate care. We want to be listened to. We want to get well. We do not want to be judged or belittled. We want to be understood and we do not want to be dismissed as just another ââ¬Å"crazy patientâ⬠. Nobody reacts well to negativity especially when there is no need to be. These are the things I must keep in mind while doing cultural assessments in the future. References Alexopoulos Y. (2007). Illness, Culture, and Caring: Impact on Patients, Families, and Nurses.

Answer: Introduction Social Networking Service is termed to any sites, service or platform which works for building up social networks or relations amidst people who share the same set of interests, real-life connections or activities. A social network depicts individual profiles of various people with their credentials such as date of birth, interests, occupations, friends, pictures and other activities. Most of these networks are based online and help the users to interact and avail the benefits of the service on the internet for example e-mail, instant messaging, Facebook and Twitter. At times, the online community series are also referred as social networking services but on a closer analysis it can be said that social networking services are focussed on providing individual-focussed services to millions of people online and community network services are focussed on providing these services to a particular group (Parr, 2010). Now there is a broad range of social services available on the internet and some of them are:- Social networking apps specifically made for teens Social networking sites for finding the right business partner SNSs for finding your perfect life partner SNSs for searching your dream job and employees SNS's for sharing data related to business and massive files Many other social networking sites are available on the internet which can be accessed by users for free, and all they have to do is get themselves registered. (Google images) It is true that everything has got two sides of the coin, and similarly usage of social networking sites has both pros and cons and in the next sections, we would be discussing both of them. Let us first start with the pros of SNS's Pros Social networks have brought the world much closer and people can interact with people across the globe and share ideas, visions, business, education and many other things via social networking sites. Around a decade ago, it was still easy to count the number of SNS's available for people around the world but now, in present time, the number of SNS's is increasing rapidly and are giving competition to one another on the number of services which they provide users. SNS's have grown the business area for various companies, created opportunities for online outsourcing firms, created awareness regarding various falsehoods around the globe and many more things. Let us discuss all these in detail. a. The increased rate of prosecution due to the usage of social media For example, in the year 2001, when the Vancouver Canucks lost their cup, the fans came on streets for rioting but the smart police department of Vancouver police took the help of social media for tracking and tagging people who were involved in the entire fiasco and were able to recover the trophy along with the accused thieves. Similarly, in South East Asia, people in countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been able to demonstrate their protest against an absolute wrong deed of any powerful or corrupt minister through the usage of SNS's and justice has been done in many if not all the cases (Migrator, 2012). b. New creations of social connections due to social networks It is proven by the statistics that more than 70% of the adults use the SNSs for contacting and being in touch with their relatives and family members whereas more than 57% of teens tend to make new friends with the help of social media networking sites. In today's world, people have not got enough time to communicate face to face and understand each other's emotions. Hence social sites give them enough time and space for talking and reading people at whatever time of the day and at whatever place they are. c. The performance of students has been affected for good due to social networking Talk about pros and cons of the internet and social networking sites and how can one forget about the impact these sites have had on an integral part of our society i.e. school students and teachers. As per statistics from several surveys, it has been found out that 50% of the student using internet take help of SNS's for reaching out pupils and talk about their daily class course, home works and several other things. More than 59% of students use social networking sites for discussing instructive topics d. The quality of life has increased several folds Look at the number of health groups made on networking sites such as Whatsapp, Facebook and the number of people using these groups and the information in them for improving their lifestyle, talking about health issues and in critical conditions refer doctor who would be perfect for that occasion and problem (Jessica, 2016). e. It has created job opportunities for a lot of people, and they can sustain a healthy lifestyle All thanks to social networking sites as it has promoted internships, jobs (part-time and full-time) to some people and SNS's such as LinkedIn are used by job recruiters to recruit the suitable employees. Some online outsourcing ventures have opened up and desk jobs have been redefined into work from home jobs due to which even the employees can spend more time with their families. Cons It is right that social networking and the Internet has revolutionised the manner in which we communicated with our near and dear once, business colleagues and other people in our life. Unfortunately, there are certain disadvantages of social networking also and people tend to fall in the luring trap of the virtual world and forget their real life personalities, duties and act as someone they never were and will be. Hence, creating a void between their actual self and the virtual self-portrayed on social media which leads to depression, anxiety and an impatient nature (Staff, 2014). Now let us talk about some of the major cons of the social media on our society:- a. Social media and news A current news reader gathers more than 27% of the news from the social networking sites which are only 1% less than the printed newspapers for which the figures are at 28%. This percentage is much greater than 18.8% of the radios and totally outclasses other sources of news which sit at a diminishing figure of 6%. b. Lots of fake and inappropriate content As the internet and SNS's have risen, people have started investing more and more time on the internet and so have people started investing time on the web by opening websites and writing blogs. Most of these blogs are supposed to be an account of personal experiences but slowly, these blogs have turned into mills of rumours, which spread inappropriate or wrong information to the readers. People tend to accept this information just because they are on the internet. This at times can have a disastrous impact on someone' health or approach towards particular lifestyle or maybe even worse. c. Students spending excessive time on the internet and social sites Just in the prior sections, we had been talking about the benefit which social networking sites have been providing to the education institutions and children and here we are to accept the sad fact, what was supposed to be an aid for students has turned out to be the cause of degeneration in a certain section of students (James, 2010). For a matter of fact, a student using social networking sites have an average GPA's of 3.06 whereas the non-users of these places have an average GPA around 3.8, and even a drastic stats is available for tests in which students using social sites tend to score 20% less than their counterparts. d. Social media sites and lost productivity due to them Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are one of the main reasons for the loss of productivity at workplaces, and people tend to waste time on these applications rather than working on their assigned tasks. e. People being more shy and dubious when contacting face to face Social networking sites have led to a lack of family time in many households and individuals tend to waste time on SNS's instead of spending time with family or work on productive things. As per a survey, lack of communication amidst family members rose from 8% in 2000 to 32% in 2011. Moreover, people tend to lose confidence when they are to face a larger audience because social networking sites have accustomed them to talking at individual levels or behind the curtains. Real life examples Logan Sachon, who is the Cofounder of theBillfold, wrote in an edition of NY Magazine on Mar. 8, 2016 opinion piece under the title "In Defense of Social Media." There is a girl named Alice, who is 17 years old and she was able to meet her best friend through Twitter. Before meeting her, she used to remain lonely and always felt perplexed and de-motivated towards her life as no one around her had ever tried to be friends with her. It was only through Twitter that she was able to contact a girl who faced similar problems and they were able to share their feelings. This made her feel that she was not alone facing this problem and hence, later on, she was able to communicate with different people in her school and contact some people on Twitter. She had deepest of conversations with them and could understand and express her thoughts to them (N.D., 2016). Hence, it can be said that actual relations are also formed on SNS's, and they can also be nourished on the internet and such relations can be pillars for you or anyone else in life. Virtual or social media life is not just a ghetto nor is it the second world with different dimensions. It is just a beautiful expansion of our little world right from our bedroom. Lindsay Williams, who is a freelance writer, blogger and an editor wrote an article for a Relevant Magazine titled "6ways in which social media is ruining our friendships" dated Dec. 29, 2015. The report is available on relevantmagazine.com (N.D., 2016): She says that whether we believe it or not but social networking sites have had a toll on our friendships and relationships. Merely liking a picture on Instagram of Facebook does not mean that we are close to that friend, it takes time for a genuine friendship to build up and preferable that is to be done face-to-face. SNS's leads us to think that people on our list or the ones with whom we talk daily are our support system or pillars for life but in actual life, these are just virtual numbers displayed on a social networking site and nothing more. On social sites, we do not put our dirty pictures, dirty rooms or de-shaped body pictures, all we put over there are few special moments of a day and we never share our emotions when we were sad. Real friends are the once who have seen the worst side and conditions and then stayed with us. They are not the once who are with us only because of the number of followers which we have or the number of likes which we get. We get so engrossed in telling our stories in the most interesting and impressive manner that we have forgotten to see what stories other people are reciprocating. It is easy for each one of us to have me-focus due to the tactics used by social networking providers but it is tough to share your personal space when any of our fellows, is in trouble because we have always been so busy in crafting our little imaginary world. Conclusion IN the end, it can be aid that different people can have different perception regarding the usage, benefit and damage which social media does to our society. For many social media, networking has been life changing, and they have created a little space of happiness for themselves, and they are content with it. On the other hand, we have a particular set of people who are highly frustrated because of the over usage of social networking sites and the number of coins which it has on our society. Hence, it can be said that we have got our lives, and it is upon ourselves to decide our path. We can use social networking sites for our benefit and limit its usage and keep ourselves happy and content in the real lives instead of the virtual world. It is important to bear in mind that excessive use of anything leads to carnage and doom. So, be wise and use social networking sites for your benefit and for the interest of the society or else time will come when we would just be able to repent over our earlier decisions. We will have thousands of followers but no friends; we will have hundreds of likes in our pictures but no one to appreciate our disgusting faces and moods; we will have a number of friend requests but no one in real life to come and approach us and offer a good face to face chat.

In order to create an organization that can effectively organize the document, the division of the text should be in the form of a hierarchy. The first paragraph of the essay should start with a question, the second paragraph should go on to answer that question and the third paragraph should answer some more questions. These are all repeated throughout the entire document.It is also important to note that each division of the document should be labeled properly. The first division of the document should be the main thesis statement. This division should be large and strong. The second division of the document should contain supporting facts and support arguments. The third division of the document should provide some supplementary data or information.The main thesis statement is usually followed by four parag raphs that are known as the introduction paragraph, the main argument paragraph, the conclusion paragraph and the conclusion of the paragraph. Some of the other division of the document that you may include in this paragraph is a body paragraph, but that is a topic for another discussion.When writing this essay, you will need to realize that there is a large amount of writing to do. You will need to make sure that the introduction paragraph contains enough information to get your point across. The next two paragraphs should contain plenty of supporting data so that when you are writing the conclusion of the paragraph, you will have ample information to use.The third paragraph that follows the introduction paragraph should be very brief, but it should contain one more supporting document or topic. This paragraph will then help you to complete your document and move forward with the essay.The fourth paragraph should discuss how you will demonstrate the main idea of the essay. The conc lusion of the paragraph should answer all the questions asked at the beginning of the document.The paragraphs that are right after the introduction and main argument paragraphs should also be very brief, but they should also answer the question posed in the beginning of the document. The body of the document should contain enough supporting documents or topics to be able to continue the study.One of the main dissertation writing samples that is available online is a division of essay that is divided into seven paragraphs. This sample can be used for your own thesis paper, but the purpose of this article is to help you organize your writing and develop a structure that can help you keep the essays on the topic to a minimum. piatrafsinto1982http://www.blogger.com/profile/13917913865043383246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062741578987981564.post-35755447475518691732020-04-14T08:08:00.001-07:002020-04-14T08:08:02.489-07:00The contextual environment Type of Organization Paediatric well being is an important public health concern. The Childrenââ¬â¢s Medical Research Institute, (CMRI) is an example of an institution that deals with paediatric health. With its location in Westmead, CMRI is a committed paediatric research centre (CMRI, 2009).Advertising We will write a custom report sample on The contextual environment specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The agency conducts basic investigations on diverse areas. These include cancer; cell signalling, and gene therapy. The centre also focuses on research on embryonic development. The institution receives remarkable support from the federal government. There is a notable indulgence of community support groups. The ââ¬Å"jeans for Genes fundraising campaignâ⬠is a newly launched support unit. It is one of the fundamental programs for the institution. Philosophy of organization The CMRI practices strategic fundamental approache s. These help to assist the organization accomplish its strategic objectives. There is a widely held conviction that comprehending the most critical inner operations of human cells is important. As indicated within the strategic objectives, this may lead to more innovative and better methodologies. Particularly, these relate to the paediatric diseases (Frank Nass, 2010). It has a proper corporate culture. Mission of the Organization The organization has a strong mission statement. It aims to establish and initiate the operation of critical research teams. The focus is based on the setting up of four research domains. In attaining such ambitious goals, the organization recognizes the urgent need for increased funding and capacity building. These are pertinent issues within its basic operations. The mission statement also emphasizes on the need to create effective collaborations (Gido Clements, 2009). The concept is already eminent within the domestic and global platforms.Advertisin g Looking for report on health medicine? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More Client Group Served The CMRI has strong commitment to serve the entire community. However, the focus of its research activities is on the paediatric confines. Ideally, this means that the organization seeks to launch empirical investigations (Schwab, 2007). Particularly, these aim at the prevention, control and the general management of most paediatric complications. Policies/Principles and Goals The organization believes that child health complications emanate from the adults. Therefore, it applies strategic research to help solve these challenges. The organization has had immense contributions to the developments within the paediatric health confines. There is an evident development and initiation of innovative empirical techniques in ensuring child survival. The research projects within the organization have remarkable global acknowledgement (Roberts, 2011). The research agency provides critical attention to the processes of human development and maturity. This is observable from the childhood. Resources The organization utilizes the knowledge and expertise of qualified human resources. The basic specialties range from management to the scientific domains (Federico, 2003). Indicatively, it recognizes the need to minimize its basic human resources in order to lower costs. There are also eminent plans to expand its physical buildings and infrastructure. The effective application of technological resources is appropriate for quality performance. Moreover, funding is an appropriate success factor. The Client Group Being Served Presently, most research activities promote good paediatric health within Australia. However, it is evident that these investigations have important implications on the developments within the global health scenario. The young children are the major client group served by the organization.Advertising We w ill write a custom report sample on The contextual environment specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The Management Plan for the Case Study Management Issues Environment Selection and Structure As a ââ¬Å"Jeans for Genesâ⬠manager, there are diverse environmental considerations that I would initiate. The identification of appropriate development partners within the general public health domain is necessary. Secondly, real time resource outsourcing mechanisms are appropriate (Roberts, 2011). As a manager, I must be able to initiate the recognition of the significance of the new ââ¬Å"Jeans for Genesâ⬠project. Identification and involvement of all stakeholders must be a basic priority within all decision-making processes. Quality Management The improvement of the ââ¬Å"Jeans for Genesâ⬠project requires a critical observation and adherence to principles of quality management. As a ââ¬Å"Jeans for Genesâ⬠project mana ger, I must emphasize and practice this strategic management approach. In accomplishing this task, it is necessary to address the present management gaps notable within the entire CMRI. Quality assurance programs and monitoring systems must be applicable (Kamerman, Phipps Ben-Aryeh, 2009). They enhance transparency and accountability. Notably, these are appropriate both for the financial resource management and in quality operations. Processes under the ââ¬Å"Jeans for Genesâ⬠project must depend on sustainable and economic concepts.Advertising Looking for report on health medicine? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More Therefore, the manager must stress on the sustainable resource utilization and lowering of costs while increasing funding sources. Staff Selection and Support The management of the ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠campaign must observe strategic processes during recruitment initiatives. The initiative involves the proper definition of roles and outlining of core competencies required for specific jobs. There must be a health promotion officer and an accountant. The heath promotion officer will develop appropriate interpersonal communication equipment, (IEC) for the campaign. On the other hand, the accountant helps to design economical budgets for campaign. He must also engage in grant writing and inquiry. Since the organization seeks to minimize cost, it is also important to engage the services of an expert economist. Above all, it is important for the ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠manager to recognize the significance of high leadership capacities (Roberts, 2011). Budget/Resources It is vital to recognize the need to increase strategic collaboration. Moreover, there is an urgent need for external funding. In the first quarter of the 2013/2014 financial year, I must be able to cut the unnecessary budgetary costs. These might involve the reduction of operating and excessive employment costs. Apart from the existing support groups and funding agencies, it is necessary to advocate for more diversified sources of support (Federico, 2003). Personally, I must ensure significant minimizations in the budgetary allocations for staff entertainment in the preceding financial years. The engagement in community volunteering projects and intensive corporate social responsibility initiatives would be critical in outsourcing funds. Other donations including the office stationery, T-shirts and campaign garments may be appropriate. Time Management All scientific investigations require effective mechanisms for time management. Important time management considerations are appropriate. These include capacity building the ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠team on time management. Adherence to project schedules and implementation cycles is mandatory for the entire project team. As the manager, i must be able to establish significant budget sots and lower to half all financial expenditures by the end of 2013 project cycle. Apart from this, the project must be able to attract potential international donors by the end of this year. Selection and Sequencing of Activities Nature, Needs, Interests and Expectation of Selected Target Group Most children suffer from various health complications. These are notable during their tender ages (Stanford, 1999). The ââ¬Å"Jeans for Genesâ⬠must focus on the initiation of critical investigations on these paediatric complications. Since the selected target group is the children, the manager must have dedication to transform the nature of infection trends amongst the group. The interests and expectations require urgent attention. Ai ms of Quality Improvement Project The ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠initiative aims to establish and initiate critical empirical investigations into the common paediatric illness associated with the human genes. In this project, there is need to conduct real time experiential processes based on the general humanity (Peper, Doorne-Huiskes Dulk, 2005). Global improvements in child health and eradication of hereditary or genetic health complications are some of the basic aims of the project. Objectives of Quality Improvement Project The quality improvement project seeks to utilize basic empirical knowledge related to child health and biological interactions. The process is critical in improving the safety and wellbeing of children and future adults (Kiess, Chernausek Hokken-Koelega, 2009). The initiative is attainable within the global perspective. There is also a need to effectively outsource and utilize basic financial and human resources in accomplishing these noble objectives. Exp ected Outcomes of Quality Improvement Project The project seeks to develop a sustainable methodology of dealing with paediatric infections. In addition, it must be able to initiate dependable empirical investigations within this field. It must achieve maximum and sustainable resource use. These are core principles appropriate within diverse scientific investigations. Sequence of Experiences The investigations within the ââ¬Å"jean for Genesâ⬠project must collaborate with other global agencies in accomplishing their strategic objectives (Federico, 2003). The project must also outline clear roles and develop a strong mission statement. This aims to provide innovative approaches towards solving various paediatric health complications. Teaching/Learning Methods/Strategies Monitoring and evaluation processes are applicable in the enhancement of project modification. It is also appropriate for effective learning and teaching within the entire project team. Apart from this, it is si gnificant to observe capacity building and empirical or managerial quality assurance processes. Report of Personal Self Directed Learning and Reflective Learning Personally, as an intended manager for the ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠project, it is important to emphasize on the relevance of strategic management practices. The professional experience within project management enables me to integrate these strategic management skills within any setting. The experience is very appropriate for the development and achievement within the ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠project. Expected Outcomes The project must meet all its objectives within the indicated project cycle of 2014. By the first half of 2013, there shall be levelled budgetary expenses. The necessary employees must be obtained by the first quarter of 2013. A part from this, the project must obtain a set of potential donors at the beginning of the 2013 fiscal year. Generally, there is an expectation of an overall reduction and min imization of the targeted paediatric illnesses. Teaching/Learning Steps Some of the vital teaching and learning steps in this process include the application of needs assessment process. The logical project framework is applicable in the determination of teaching or learning requirements. Apart from these, monitoring and evaluation procedures also remain appropriate. Impact Evaluation Program The program must set appropriate deliverables and indicators. These are necessary in the period of project inception (Roberts, 2011). They are vital in the process of impact evaluation a monitoring processes. The management also assumes critical roles in the program evaluation. Clients Client satisfaction surveys are important in the assessment of the project impacts. The establishment of proper linkage mechanism with these clients is important. Generally, the utilization of external data on public health trends is also crucial (Federico, 2003). Particularly, this relates to the clientsââ¬â¢ perceptions on the trends of paediatric illnesses. Staff The staffs are important internal stakeholders within any project. For purposes of internal evaluation, there is need for the establishment of proper communication and feedback mechanisms. The project must also evaluate the perceptions of the staff through satisfaction and welfare approaches. Personal Comments The Experience The position of a ââ¬Å"Jean for Genesâ⬠project manager comes with a tasking yet educative experience. Nonetheless, the experience is critical for personal career and societal development (Roberts, 2011). The Value The value attached to this role and profession is immense. Particularly, this is in consideration of the fact that most basic processes here deal with human health. Generally, it is vital to protect the wellbeing of future generations. The Future It is appropriate for the organization to adopt strategic and transformative project management skills. The approach is important for future de velopment. Furthermore, technological applications must be pertinent components of future management initiatives (Roberts, 2011). References CMRI, (Childrenââ¬â¢s Medical Research Institute) (2009).

Steer, and Gregory K. Brown. Similar to its predecessor, it consists of 21multiple pick inquiries that assist in finding the badness of depression. Each point consists of four statements arranged in order to determine the badness of a certain symptom of depression. BDI-II conforms to the DSM-IV standards for depression. Clients who are presented with the BDI-II are asked to reply each inquiry based upon the manner they have felt for the past two hebdomads in order to accurately conform to the DSM-IV standards. The BDI-II is intended for striplings and grownups and should non be administered to those under the age of 13. Scoring The BDI-II consists of 20 one inquiries, all of which correspond to a peculiar symptom of depression. Each point consists of a four point graduated table runing from 0-3. Items 16 and 18 consist of seven points which are used to bespeak an addition or lessening in both sleep forms and appetency. A entire mark of 0-13 is considered minimum scope, 14- 19 is considered mild, 20-28 is considered moderate, while 20-63 is considered to be terrible ( Beck, Steer and Brown, 1961 ) . The BDI-II may be scored by manus or by utilizing a package plan such as Q Local, where the tonss may be recorded and monitored by the clinician. The trial may be administered often, as it is intended to supervise symptoms that have occurred within a two hebdomad scope. Dependability Beck s Depression Inventory II has been used for many old ages with great success. Its dependability is still questioned by some. Sprinkle, Lurie, Insko, Atkinson, Jones, Logan and Bassada ( 2002 ) province that Although the BDI-II manual ( Beck, Steer, A ; Brown, 1996 ) and assorted other studies ( e.g. , Dozois et al. , 1998, and Steer, Kumar, Ranieri, A ; Beck, 1998 ) have offered significant grounds for the instrument s applaudable split-half internal consistence ( with reported coefficient alphas of.91 and somewhat higher ) , there are merely two published studies to day of the month on the instrument s test- retest dependability ( par.6 ) . Sprinkle et al. , ( 2002 ) further study Beck, Steer, and Brown ( 1996 ) reported on 26 outpatients ( no diagnostic information is offered ) who were administered the BDI-II at the times of their first and 2nd therapy Sessionss ( about one hebdomad apart ) , bring forthing a test-retest correlativity of.93 ( par 6 ) . Cogency Cogency of the BDI-II appears to be favourable. A survey conducted by Storch, Roberti and Roth ( 2002 ) examined the psychometric belongingss of the BDI-II. 414 pupils from two separate universities participated in the survey. Their consequences supported BDI-II two-factor construction mensurating cognitive-affective and bodily depressive symptoms ( par.1 ) . They concluded that the cogency of the BDI-II was supported by favourable consequences with self-report steps of depression and anxiousness ( par.1 ) . The consequences of this survey double past research of a college sample which supported the dependability and cogency of the BDI-II. Arnau, Meager, Norris, and Bramson ( 2001 ) besides conducted a psychometric rating of the BDI-II utilizing primary attention patients. The survey consisted of 340 primary attention patients ( 7 of which were eliminated due to incomplete responses ) . 68.8 % of the participants were female and the age group tested ranged from ages 18-54 ( M = 36.5, SD = 10.1, Arnau et al. , 2001 ) . The mean mark from the participants was 8.4 ( SD = 9.7 ) . They reported that tonss of 14 or higher, proposing at least a mild degree of depression ( Beck et al. , 1996 as cited in Arnau et al. , 2001 ) were observed in 23.2 % of the sample ( p.3 ) . Arnau et al. , ( 2001 ) besides found an alpha coefficient of.94, which they considered to be first-class internal consistence. They concluded that the BDI-II yielded strong grounds for the factorial cogency of the BDI-II in a primary attention puting ( p.6 ) . They found that the BDI-II could easy be implemented into the primary attention puting without interrupting patient flow. BDI-II Reappraisals Arbisi and Farmer, referees of BDI-II indicate that the BDI-II is easy to administrate and requires about five to ten proceedingss to finish. Arbisi provinces concern nevertheless, that there are no cogency indexs contained on the BDI or the BDI-II and the easiness of disposal of a self-report lends itself to the deliberate tailoring of self-report and deformation of the consequences ( Beck, Steeler A ; Brown, 1961 par. 5 ) . Arbisi and Farmer concur that the manual BDI-II was good written and provides a battalion of supportive information sing norms, factor construction, and notably, nonparametric item-option characteristic curves for each point ( Beck, Steer A ; Brown, 1961 par. 4 ) . They contend that the BDI-II has improved upon the original by updating the points to reflect modern-day diagnostic standards for depression and utilizing state-of-the-art psychometric techniques to better the discriminatory belongingss of the instrument ( Beck, Steer A ; Brown, 1961 par. 10 ) . Although the referees have noted their concern sing the deficiency of room for diverseness, Arbisi and Farmer appear to O.K. of its usage as a depression appraisal tool. Hamilton Depression Scale The Hamilton Depression Scale ( abbreviated as HDS, HAMD or HAD ) is used to mensurate the badness of symptoms of depression. For many old ages it was considered to be the gilded criterion . It was developed by Max Hamilton in the late fiftiess and was used to measure the public presentation of the first antidepressants. It was released in 1960. Upon its release, Hamilton acknowledged that it had room for betterment ( p. 56 ) . He revised the HDS in 1967. The HDS consists of 21 multiple pick inquiries. The first 17 inquiries determine the badness of the depression symptoms, while the extra four inquiries address the countries of paranoia and compulsion and their relation to depression.The HDS can be administered to both kids and grownups. It is considered to be easy to read and construe ; it is recommended that the HDS be administered merely by a accredited professional. Scoring The HDS was intended to be administered by an experient clinician by carry oning a clinical interview.A Scoring and administering the graduated table may be considered cumbrous as Hamilton did non supply structured guidelines for this intent. No standardised investigation inquiries were provided to arouse information from patients and no behaviorally specific guidelines were developed for finding each point s evaluation ( Health Care Technology Systems, 2010 ) . Seventeen points are rated on a 5-point ( 0-4 ) or a 3-point ( 0-2 ) graduated table. Overall tonss of 0-6 are considered normal. Tonss from 7-17 are declarative of mild depression. Tonss from 18-24 represent moderate depression. Tonss that are greater than 24 are representative of terrible depression. Dependability Bagby, Ryder, Schuller, and Marshall ( 2004 ) province that Clinician-rated instruments should show three types of dependability: 1 ) internal dependability, 2 ) retest dependability, and 3 ) interrater dependability ( par.4 ) . They contend that the internal dependability of the HDS estimations ranged from 0.46 to 0.97, and 10 surveies reported estimations 0.70 ( par.5 ) . They further contend that the bulk of points contained in the HDS indicate sufficient dependability.Per their testing, the undermentioned points were met in each sample: ( Guilt, in-between insomnia, psychic anxiousness, bodily anxiousness, GI, general somatic ) and an extra five points met the standards in all but one sample ( down temper, self-destruction, early insomnia, late insomnia, work and involvements, hypochondriasis ) ( par.6 ) . A possible job was suggested with loss of penetration, as it had the greatest figure of variables. Interrater dependability was considered to be hapless. Cicchetti and Pr usoff ( 1983, as cited in Reynolds and Kobak, 1995 ) province in a survey of interrater dependability of a 22-item version of the HDRS found low degrees of dependability for single points, with 14 of the 22 points showing intraclass correlativity coefficients of less than.40 ( par. 4 ) . Retest Dependability Tonss for the retest dependability of the HDS ranged from 0.81 to 0.98. Williams ( 1998 at cited in Bagby et al. , 2004 ) argued in favour of utilizing structured interview ushers to hike point and entire graduated table dependability and developed the Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale ( par.8 ) . Making so increased the retest dependability to 0.54 in malice of the fact that merely four points met the necessary standards for dependability ; i.e. : depressed temper, early insomnia, psychic anxiousness, and loss of libido ( par.8 ) . Cogency The Hamilton Depression Scale is comprised of 1 ) Content, 2 ) Convergent, 3 ) Discriminant, 4 Factorial, and 5 ) Predicative Validity. Content cogency is determined by analyzing scale points to find correspondence with known characteristics of a syndrome ( Bagby et al. , 2004 par. 9 ) . Convergent cogency is sufficient when a graduated table indicates Pearson s R values of a lower limit of 0.50 in concurrence with steps of the same syndrome. Discriminant cogency is determined by bespeaking that groups that differ in diagnostic position may be separated through the usage of the graduated table. Predictive cogency of symptom badness steps such as the Hamilton depression graduated table is determined by a statistically important ( p lt ; 0.05 ) capacity to foretell alteration with intervention Bagby et al. , 2004 par. 9 ) . Factorial cogency may be established by utilizing factor analysis or principal-component analysis to bespeak that a positive illustration can be found in sever al samples. HDS Reviews Bernard Carroll wrote a missive to the editor of the American Journal of Psychiatry in December, 2005 entitled: Why the Hamilton Depression Scale Endures. He offers three grounds why the HDS remains the gilded criterion. First of wholly, he contends that Hamilton s HDS focused on patient s load of unwellness ( par.1 ) . He suggests that this is the ground why the HDS contains illustrations of anxiousness that are present in depressive episodes, but are non portion of the diagnosing for depression. He farther contends that Hamilton intended the usage of this graduated table for client s that are good known by the clinician. In this visible radiation, the HDS displays a scope from mild to extreme unwellness ( par. 1 ) . Second, Carroll contends that the demand for a revised graduated table based upon modern standards of major depression is non realistic. Carroll believes that Current definitions of major depression, instantiated in DSM-IV, for case, are intentionally atheoretical nominalist conventions that lack consolidative concepts, prognostic cogency, and explanatory power ( par.2 ) . He believes that this is the ground why those who are diagnosed with DSM-IV standards for major depression are so contrastive. He adds: In the hereafter, we might add biomarkers or endophenotypes to clinical symptoms in measuring depression, but that twenty-four hours is non here ( par.2 ) . Third, Carroll does non believe that the HDS has been outmatched in public presentation. He does non believe that the HDS is insensitive to alterations in the badness of depression symptoms. When compared to the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, he believes that the Hamilton Depression Scale is superior in its sensitiveness to alter and in observing early alteration with intervention while holding the advantage of far more comprehensive symptom coverage ( par.3 ) . Carroll concludes his missive by saying The endurance of the Hamilton depression graduated table is singular, sing how many unauthorised, nonvalidated, mutant versions now circulate ( Hamilton s original 17 points have expanded to 28 at my last count ) . This is non progress, nevertheless, because the text versions and procedural usage in many modern-day intervention tests are corrupted ( par 4 ) . Paul C Burnett, a referee of the HDS contends that the manual is extended and comprehensive ( par.2 ) . The instructions for administrating the trial are clear and contain illustrations of the marking procedure. All of the symptoms contained in the trial are described and supply illustrations to be used in the interviewing procedure. He believes that the symptoms contained in the trial conform to the standards listed in the DSM-IV. The manual, which contains a sample of 202 down patients, is comprised of 76 % inmates, 24 % outpatients, and 69 % female ( par.3 ) . The manual contends that the demographics are just, despite the fact that no information is provided to back up this. He contends that the manual did non include informations to back up the process that was utilized to choose this demographic. Burnett states that Internal consistence estimations were found to be.79 and.81 for the clinical and self-report signifiers severally, bespeaking moderate dependability ( par. 4 ) . Other surveies suggest that the internal consistence scope from.45 to.95, which is stated in the manual as consistent with the consequences from the confirmation sample ( par.4 ) . Burnett does non see a scope of.45 to.81 as acceptable internal consistence. Burnett concludes that the HDS consists of a well written and concise manual, which clearly describes the disposal and hiting procedure. He finds that the two graduated tables have moderate internal consistence, sound coincident cogency, and comparatively consistent and stable factor constructions ( par. 7 ) . His lone ailment is that the confirmation sample is minimum and does non sufficiently describe the mode in which it was selected. The Stronger Assessment Tool Both Aaron Beck and Max Hamilton have created an assessment tool to find the badness of the symptoms of depression. While Hamilton s Depression Scale was considered to be the gilded criterion, and may be administered to both kids and grownups, one would hold to reason that Beck s Depression Inventory-II is the stronger of the two appraisals. It appears that the BDI-II can be administered with easiness and does non necessitate an interviewing procedure. The BDI-II has been revised to supervise the badness of symptoms of depression for the last two hebdomads, while Hamilton s HDS does non province such rigorous guidelines. It besides appears as though the BDI-II contains a stronger internal consistence with an alpha coefficient of.95 as opposed to the HDS internal coefficiency of.79 and.81. Another ground for this decision was the original purpose of usage of the graduated tables. Hamilton s HDS was developed to measure the public presentation of the first coevals of antidepressants, while Beck s Depression Inventory was developed to find the nature of the badness of symptoms of depression without the usage of medicine. Beck s BDI-II appears to hold surpassed the HDS as referees have considered this assessment tool as utilizing state-of-the-art psychometric techniques to better the discriminatory belongingss of the instrument ( Beck, Steer A ; Brown, 1961 par. 10 ) . It appears as though Beck s BDI-II is the preferable pick among today s clinicians. piatrafsinto1982http://www.blogger.com/profile/13917913865043383246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062741578987981564.post-30536343605328347262020-02-24T13:53:00.001-08:002020-02-24T13:53:02.973-08:00HOW HAS LUSH COSMETICS INCORPORATED THE RISING CONCERNS OF THE EssayHOW HAS LUSH COSMETICS INCORPORATED THE RISING CONCERNS OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN THEIR CORPORATE STRATEGY - Essay Example These current trends and demands in the market economy stems from the recognition of the reality that the economic realm is not separated from the entire context of the society and that its reality is deeply integrated and interwoven in all facets of the human society ââ¬â economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental aspects.

No one can actually give an answer to this question. Maybe, in such a way the contemporaries are sure that in the modern very challenging world it is necessary to have an option to free one's mind. The director of the film underlines that external appearance is not important for the modern hero. It is much more important a real heroism of a character. A physical power of Hancock can be lost in case he meets other superheroes. Achilles is an ancient Greek character. Nevertheless, this hero does not reveal features of a holistic mind or his open nature. Homer underlined his appearance: ââ¬Å"he sat himself down away from the ships with a face as dark as night, and his silver bow rang death as he shot his arrow in the midst of themâ⬠(Iliad, Book I). Actually, in the ancient world appearance played a very important role. Let us remember about the ancient famous sculptures and monuments of ancient heroes and characters. Of course, Ac hilles worshipped gods and this was a positive feature of his nature. Achilles helps Greek people in their fight against enemies, but in reality he is not much focused on solving military problems. From another perspective, Achilles can seem to be a consequential warrior. Achilles can be a patriotic hero, but in this case he should know for what purpose he needs to be such a person. He is sure of the fact that patriotism is positive if a personal concern is taken into account. Achilles impresses the audience by his daring and brash features. He shows more passion and he does not want to be vulnerable. This is another vision about heroism and patriotism unlike the view of patriotism in the modern time. Achilles is too arrogant and superior, but Hancock is not. These are two different approaches to representation of heroism and patriotism in two different worlds: in the world of ancient times and the modern times. Achilles was not focused on the common good of the society, but Hancock was very much pleased with his ability to help people. He did not place his own personality on the foreground; he made an emphasis on the background, which is society's welfare. Works cited 1. Iliad by Homer. 15 Dec. 2012. 2.

Oracle is one of the core images in Greek religion and mythology. In accordance with modern interpretation: "Oracles played an important role in the Greek religion and beliefs. The Greeks considered death as a necessary evil and therefore Immortality was not an enviable asset. They however required information on their future life on earth, for this they turned to the oracle" (Oracle). Ancient Greek people needed information about their future life on the Earth. Greek oracle was a priest or a priestess, who played a role of a mediator between people and God. The Oracle communicated with God an d in such a way he had an opportunity to get the required information. Apollo was a god of music and reason. He could see future too.

The Mysterious Blogger was about the leaking of confidential information by an employee and the actions of a second employee. The Veiled ID presented an issue that arises as the company tried to implement more strict security issues. The ââ¬Å"Mysterious Bloggerâ⬠had me playing the part of the Director of Information Technology for G-Bio Sports Company. During a routine check the department finds there is an employee that is posting blogs about the company and although 90% of the information is not confidential and questions safety this is a clear violation of the company policy. An anonymous email is also received by me this note indicates the name of the person posting the blogs. This information was obtained by hacking this personââ¬â¢s personal computer. My department was able to identify the name of both employees involved. There is an ethical issue on both cases one employee is violating the NDA policy and the other is violating the privacy of another employee. The action of both employees can cause major harm to the company. It is important to identify everyone that needs to be informed of the situation and decided the proper way to handle the situation. Both employees have been with the company for a while and are an asset to the company. Based on this information I do believe that both employees need to be discipline and made aware of the seriousness of their actions at the same time ensure safety concerns are address. My next step is to involve the proper stakeholders, our HR Director and our Legal Counsel they will help me validate my position and outline next steps. ââ¬Å"The Veiled IDâ⬠, I play the part of the Associate Director of Operations. Theà company has recently suffered a breach in security a former employee broke into a lab causing not only damage to the equipment but harmed another employee in the process. A new security system is being put in place to protect employees and our clients. Every employee will be required to carry a work Identification that will include a photograph without the ID they will not be allow in the building. Although the solution seems to very easy I did not take into consideration that some of our employees cannot be photograph due to religious beliefs. After, determining who will be affected by my decision and discussing the issue with a representative of our Human Resource Department, Training Manager and, other employees. We decided that the photo ID will still be require however, there will be some measures put in place to accommodate people with special needs. In conclusion, by utilizing the Rights and Responsibility Lens and the Baird Ethical model I was able to determine the best decision for each separate situation. The decision was the result of a serious of steps that help me first identify the issue, the people affected and the effect that my decision would have had in the community. Each steps helps you understand what is morally right and fair for the primary stakeholders and the community and how your decision making impacts others. Making sure that you understand everyone that will be affected either directly or indirectly is important prior to making your final decision. Doing the right thing is not just to following company procedure; it is also about protecting the shareholders interest and the interest of the company. In the case where the companyââ¬â¢s policies were violated, the company must make a sound decision that that produces an outcome in the best interest of the company and its stakeholders. The ethical perspectives used to make the decisions during the simulation were based on options given in each scenario. In the simulation, you were to determine the best outcome for each scenario based upon the information given. Neither one of the scenarios had a right nor was wrong answer it just the best ethical decision you consider fair for all parties involved. The important part is to make sure that each situation itââ¬â¢s analyzed and all the components are taking into consideration prior of making your final decision. Reference Trevià ±o, L. K.

That one person may not be able to do a whole lot physically to change the world, but one person has the power to inspire others to help that person change the world. I also believe very firmly that one person can set an example for others that may affect the outcome of any situation. à à à à à Just like in a baseball game where one person can hit the winning grand slam homerun, in life, one person can make the difference. The problem is that when the odds seem insurmountable, it seems impossible to overcome them and most people will give up. The true heroes in this world are those who don't give up in these times when things seem impossible to do. à à à à à The other thing I think is very important to note about the power of one person is that we need to look at what that one person is doing that is making a difference. One person can make a difference in someone else's life. I have had, in my life, many people that have made a huge difference. If someone changes your entire life or your outlook on it, your can definitely testify to the power of one. I think someone that can reach out to just one person's life is just as important as someone who can change the lives of millions. à à à à à One last thing I think is important to note is that, in recognizing the power of one person to make a difference, we must also note the contributions of others to help put that person where they are. A further explanation of this would be to go back to our other scenario. When, in the last inning, someone hits a game-winning grand slam homerun, that person is very important.

Shuttleworth Grandma lived on Sugar Creek Mountain all alone. It was a beautiful mountain, with tall cedar trees all over the mountain top. In the middle of the mountain was a crystal clear lake. The water in the lake was the prettiest blue you've ever seen. When the water was calm, you could see the fish swimming around in the lake. I loved sitting by the lake when I was a little girl. Grandma would pack us a lunch, and we would sit at the lake for hours on end. Hour after hour, grandma would tell me stories about her life on the mountain. I remember the day that grandpa drowned in the lake.My parents had tried to talk grandma into moving into town, but she wouldn't hear of it. My parents knew not to argue with her, because they knew that grandma was set in her ways. ââ¬Å"I've been on this mountain for so long that I've forgotten which is the oldest, me or the mountain,â⬠grandma had said, with a twinkle in her eyes. I knew my par ents worried about her being alone, because grandma was the only person who lived on Sugar Cliff Mountain. Today I was going to visit grandma, and the excitement grew inside me at the thought of spending time on the mountain once more. After all, it had been ten years since I had seen grandma.It's hard to believe that my career had kept me away for so long. As I approached the top of the mountain, I could see grandma staring out the window of her little log cabin home. Grandma greeted me at the door with a big hug. ââ¬Å"I am so happy that you could come to visit with me,â⬠said grandma. This Christmas is going to be so wonderful! I have a special surprise for you dear. Little did grandma know that I had a very special surprise for her as well. ââ¬Å"Well, we can't stand around here all day,â⬠said grandma. There's a lot of work to get done. I have invited the people from the village to come to my Christmas party on Saturday evening.After I had freshened up a bit, we spe nt the day baking all sorts of cookies and candies. Grandma had a story to tell as we baked the goodies for the party. She told me about how she used to bake apple pies for grandpa. ââ¬Å"He loved apple pies,â⬠said grandma. Those were his favorite. She said that after the pies would cool off, that grandpa would send her into the living room, under the pretense that he would clean up the kitchen. Grandma knew what he was really up to, but she never let on that she knew. Grandma would go into the living room and sit in her rocking chair. She would sing some of the songs that she knew grandpa loved.About an hour later, grandma would wander back into the kitchen. ââ¬Å"Why Henry! â⬠she said kitchen, grandma retired for the evening. I made myself a cup of tea and sat down in front of the fireplace. Sitting alone in the quiet house, I pondered my childhood memories of my grandparents. They had always been such a fun loving and happy couple. Shortly after they were married, g randpa built the log cabin home for his ââ¬Å"Little ole Emmyâ⬠, as he called her. Just before Christmas, almost twelve years ago, grandpa was outside gathering firewood, when grandma heard a horrible scream and a terrible noise.She ran outside to find that an area of the ice on the lake had fallen through. She yelled for grandpa over and over but no reply ever came. They searched the lake for over a week, but no trace of grandpa could be found. Finally, they called off the search. One of the men who had helped in the search said they'd probably never find grandpa now. Just then, as my thoughts were still racing around in my head, my grandmother brought me back to reality. ââ¬Å"We have to be up very early in the morning dear, so off to bed now,â⬠she said. I slowly walked to my grandmother's room, and kissed her goodnight.Morning came early at grandma's house. As I entered the kitchen I could smell the homemade biscuits and gravy cooking on the stove. ââ¬Å"What's on o ur list of things to do today? â⬠I asked. ââ¬Å"The men are coming from the village this morning to put the lights on the trees, and we have lots of presents to wrap for the children,â⬠she said. Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was the men from the village ready to start putting up the lights. Grandma was so excited as she stepped back to watch them. ââ¬Å"Let's wrap those presents now Laura,â⬠said grandma.As I watched grandma wrap the presents and tie the ribbons, I knew that so much more was being placed around them. With each piece of wrapping paper grandma was also wrapping them with love. After the last present was wrapped, we realized that we'd been wrapping presents all day! It was now getting dark outside and grandma wanted to go outside to view the lights. As we stepped out onto the porch, we gasped. The sight that met our eyes was so beautiful to behold! The snow was glittering and the reflection of the lights on the snow was beyond words! I t was breathtaking! That night I went to bed with a heart full of love for my grandmother.I knew that someday I wanted to be just like her, full of love for others. Saturday evening the village people started arriving just after dark. Grandma always waited until evening to have her Christmas party, because she loved the lights. All the guests gathered around in the front yard and began to sing Christmas carols. Oh, how grandma loved that! Ole Ben was a jolly fellow who worked at the village store, and he was chosen to help Santa hand out the presents. The children shouted with glee, as they unwrapped their gifts. Grandma said, ââ¬Å"Laura, come here dear, I have a surprise for you. As she handed me the present, I could see the love and pride in her eyes. ââ¬Å"I love it grandmaâ⬠, I said, as I bent down to kiss her cheek, ââ¬Å"I will cherish it forever. â⬠Grandma had made a quilt out of some of my dresses that I had worn as a little girl. ââ¬Å"Grandma, if you could have just one special gift for Christmas, what would it be? â⬠I asked her. Without even stopping to think, she replied, ââ¬Å"I would like to see your grandfather just one more time, so I could feed him the apple pie that the horses quit snatching when he left us. â⬠Just then grandma's face lit up like the lights on the Christmas tree!Everyone turned to see what grandma was looking at. Walking slowly toward her, with an apple pie in his hand, was grandpa! There was two slices missing from the pie that he was holding. The village people were speechless, as they thought they were seeing a ghost. Grandpa chuckled, as he yelled out, ââ¬Å"Emmy, those darn horses snatched the pie and got away with two pieces. Difference to me, but slowly my memory started to return. I remember now going out to gather firewood. There was a nice piece of wood on the lake. I thought the lake was frozen over so I stepped out on the lake to get the piece of wood.I remember hearing the lake crack le and that's the last I remember about the accident. ââ¬Å"Laura, how can I ever thank you for bringing grandpa home to me? â⬠asked grandma.

Interestingly, it is noted that the company is one that depends on a large pool of suppliers whom are found necessary for the business to operate desirably. Such suppliers are mentioned to include: maintenance firms, fuel suppliers, food suppliers, and others (Laudon Laudon, 2011). Thomas (2012) informs that a firm can benefit a lot from an effective supply chain management which can even have various policies for managing suppliers and serving consumers that enable a firm to greatly reduce its operational costs. It is expounded that these policies are those that establish profitable relationships between customers and suppliers within the supply chain. Thus, large firms with a large population of customers and many suppliers, different customer needs are linked to various business channels which produce various products and services through a complex supply chain process which has different modes of operating. This is said to be necessary for the sake of capitalizing both on organizationââ¬â¢s profitability and satisfying customersââ¬â¢ needs.

Workplace diversity is characterized as representing two perspectives: functionalist perspectives and a critical believe there is several challenges with diversity in the workforce. Challenge because it requires organizational change; it means fostering a cultural environment that values differences and maximizes the potential of all employees.

Answer: Introduction Research problem-market segmentation strategies need to be evaluated for effectiveness. This research will ascertain whether demographic variables are effective for market segmentation. Limitations of the report- the report is dependent on secondary sources of information which may have subjective opinions. Therefore care should be given in when implementing the recommendations. The sources and methods used-This report utilized secondary sources including academic underpinnings journals and internet sources. Report Organisation-this report will first evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using demographics as a base for market segmentation. Discussions Advantages of using demographics as a basis for market segmentation The first advantage of using demographics in market segmentation is that the demographics data is easily available for use and it is cost effective. Most secondary data including the census data are expressed in demographics. This makes it easy to access this form of data and apply it in identifying the target market. The census data is readily available and the costs involved in accessing this kind of data are low (Piercy, et al. 2011). Secondly, demographics are easily measurable when compared to other segmentation factors. Considering when other variables like lifestyle and personalities are used in market segmentation their demographic characteristics have to be ascertained in order for the true characteristics of a market segment to be known (Bruwer, et al. 2007). Therefore the use of demographical data in deciding which market segment should be targeted is vital even when other factors have been considered. This set of data offers an opportunity to examine the population of different locations and develop products that suit their needs (Tigert, et al. 1971). For example, it is not enough to give the percentage of people who use Moleskines product range but it will be important to know their age, their gender and income ranges. Third, the application of demographics in segmentation will lead to customer loyalty and retention. When the customer needs and wants are carefully evaluated and their trends studied, an organisation will channel its marketing campaigns towards those needs and wants (Sessler 2011). If the customers are satisfied, they will become loyal and they will tend to use the products more often. An example is the Moleskines product range. The company has engaged its customers in buying its non-digital products through incorporation of the products in the digital systems. For instance the MSK 2 is one of the products that customers can use to submit their art, hacks and videos on the company website. Besides, these clients can access various templates for the creation of their journals (Koenke 2006.). Fourth, demographic data reveals the ongoing trends that give a clear signal indication of business for marketers. For instance, demographics can reveal the income levels of a population and that can show the purchasing power of that population and products can be developed to suit the income levels of such a population (Barry, et al. 2009). Finally, the use of demographics in market segmentation can save the business the costs that may be incurred in expansion. Since the population characteristics can be defined and the future predicted, the organisation can save on costs that can be incurred on further research and the losses that can be incurred through unsatisfied customers. Disadvantages of Using Demographics as a Basis for Market Segmentation First, one major limitation with the use of demographics is that it is one dimensional and does not facture in product differentiation. For instance, demographics can give details on a certain product for example the aftershave but it cannot give information about a particular aftershave brand. And who exactly uses the brand (Shiffman 2013). Secondly, demographic data is only descriptive and his limits the understanding of the consumers themselves since the data available is general and generalization cannot be used in the development of products that can be used by such a population (Sessler 2011). Thirdly, demographic variable require that other variables are used in the development of a market segment. This is due to the weakness that is posed by only being descriptive of the data and not being detailed on the brand types that are preferred by different demographic segments (Shiffman 2013). Lastly, demographic data is readily available and competitors can easily utilize it to copy the products that an organization may be selling in a particular market. This is a great disadvantage because the competitors may produce better products which can lead to loss of customers. Can demographics and psychographics be used together to segment markets? In the analysis of whether demographics and psychographics can be used together in a segment market, it is important to describe what is contained in psychographics. Psychographic segmentation is related to research on the psychological needs and wants of consumers (Narang 2010). This form of research is also referred to as lifestyle analysis. This has been an important tool that has been used in determining the most promising market segments. The promotion of such products as Colgate, KFC fast foods, Lux soap and many others relies on psychographic research which is used in capturing the potential customers profiles. Consumer interests, activities and opinions are some of the psychographic measures that can be used in the development of a market segment. Besides, the profiles which can be used when se factors are the ones that can be used in coming up with consumer-based products (Kumar,et al. 2008). Psychographic and demographic can be used complimentarily. That is, when the demographic and psychographic variables are applied together, there is sufficient information that can be used in the development of products for a particular market segment. In marketing, information is important and the more information is available the more the marketing activities will be effective since the customer needs will be met. For a brand to be successful in the market, it needs to satisfy the customer needs fully. Organizations should invest more in market research in order to come up with the products that are needed by the market. It is not possible for the organization to produce products that will satisfy the customer needs if they do not conduct sufficient research on what those customers needs are (Simons, et al. 2016). Using both demographic and psychographic data is also important because this technique develops a deep understanding of what needs to be put into the market. Demographics help in developing the quantities needed while psychographics will develop the needed qualities. For a market to be fully satisfied both quantity and quality have to be adhered to. A product may be of the required quality and the market demand is so high and if the quantities cannot satisfy the demand then there may be a crisis that may lead customers away from the companys products. Also, a product may be abundant in the market yet it is not of the required standard and quality according to psychographic profiles. This also may tarnish the companys reputation and customers will avoid such products ((Shiffman 2013).). Moleskine is an example of a brand that fully utilizes the concept of market segmentation. This organisation used to produce notebooks and it is a popular brand name in this industry. The digital era has really affected this company but still it has managed to survive the tides that come with digitalization. Since the digital era came with a wave that could reduce the need to write in notebooks, the company did an analysis of their customer desires and lifestyles. Since these customers have a heavy presence in the online platforms and social media, the company developed products that can be used in the digital era. By doing this the company has survived through a challenge that many other companies could not survive through (Spence,et al. 2007). Recommendations When applying market segmentation as a strategy in marketing, demographic data is important and it should be used together with psychographic data. The combination of these sets of data makes it easy to identify and present products to the market will fulfil the customer needs and wants.A critical analysis of lifestyles and the [population is important in this strategy and therefore I recommend that the two sets of data should be used complimentarily for effectiveness. Conclusion Market segmentation is a marketing strategy that is effective in penetrating and managing a market. This is done through profiling the market needs and developing products that suit such a market. The use of demographics in market segmentation is important in determining the different customer characteristics. However, there are some limitations which need that a combination with other variables should be done in order to make sure that market segmentation is done in a way that will lead to customer and market satisfaction. When the market is satisfied, the brand easily becomes successful in such a market because it will be trusted and customer loyalty will be developed.
