Introduction In Kate Chopin’s “The Storm” it is the woman who has an affair with and then continues on with her normal routine as if nothing happened. In most aspects women are usually thought of to be more submissive but at the same time they are often more tactful than males. Within the field of science females are less often seen at the higher levels of research. There are many possible reasons as to why this occurs but in general females seem to be more interested in helping people directly rather than conducting research. Another difference in behavior between the sexes is that men tend to actively seek ways to establish their dominance more than women do. The condition is still in vogue even in 21st century despite so much advancement in social behaviors. The storm is still an indictment of society in the 21st century. Analysis In the “Storm” the writer Kate Chopin in order to intensify the character and the mood, uses a great deal of symbolism at various places. As far as the literal storm is concerned Chopin from the very first sentence gives us a clue to the approaching of the storm. The storm is still an indictment of society in the 21st century. The basic reservations and core ideas never change in any society because these are always inbuilt and innate. “The leaves were so still that even Bibi thought it was going to rain”. (Chopin, I) It is generally accepted as an axiom that whenever there is calmness and serenity, it is an indication of something disastrous. The writer has led the reader into thinking of storm in different views. This shows that the storm is still an indictment of society in the 21st century. On the contrary Storm could be a symbol of passion which will eventually return with the intent to destroy her martial life. Later on the writer symbolically expressed the sexuality of Calixtia being restrained by her marriage institution and society’ concept of women outbreak of passion. Chopin represented this by the housework and her husband’s Sunday clothes which he alluded to society in the form of church as he me “She sat at a side window sewing furiously on a sewing machine” “Out on the small front gallery she had hung Bobbinet’s Sunday clothes”. When she closes the window as said “she got up hurriedly and went about closing the windows and doors”, she illustrated the significance of her married life and that she was not willing to have anyone in her life except her husband. As we proceed on further Chopin says “it was even necessary to put something beneath the door to keep the water out” “and Alccee helped her to thrust it beneath the crack.” (Chopin, II) This clearly suggests that the cloth on the door was a shutter to the society. This prevented anyone to discover the secret and Calixtia’s forbidden passion would be buried deeply in the depth of her house. Today’s society has

This way we will make use of the large internet market that is currently untapped (Pinson, 2004). Market analysis There are many electronics shops today all over the world. The demand for electronic components is however not yet met. Repairing services are in high demand yet most of the repairing shops do not offer quality services. There is also a large internet market that has remained untapped for quite a long time. My information technology skills will see the business benefit from the large internet market, my four qualified friends will offer quality repair services to our customers. This way we will attract a good share of the market and ensure people know about our business. Electronica enterprise will also use the internet to go global by selling its devices to people outside our country (Pinson, 2004). Business name and location Electronica enterprise is to be the business name as mentioned before. We are still evaluating on the effects of locating the business in different places thus we do not have an official place to locate our business yet (Turban
Executive Summary In the 1980s, policymakers and implementers focused on conservative crime prevention strategies such as making arrests and following the law to the letter. In the 1990s, other crime intervention strategies were invented, including problem-oriented crime intervention techniques, community policing, hot spots policing and broken window policing. Various police departments in the US adopted liberal strategies owing to their effectiveness. The department of police is one of the government agencies considered so conservative to an extent that it is always resistant to change and development in terms of technology. Therefore, the incorporation of a problem-oriented crime intervention strategy into its mainstream agenda was amazing and dramatic. Due to this change, the police service was viewed positively, as one of the government agencies committed to solving social problems afflicting the American society. Consequently, police professionals all over the country and criminology scholars moved on to adopt the policy. Going by the American data as regards to crime rates, there was a fall in crime in the US. Police elites, scholars and the public attributed this change in records to the new strategies applied by the police in preventing crime cases in the country (Niskanen, 1994). The public, professionals and policy makers within government came to the realization that the previous police intervention strategies were wasteful, dubious and highly ineffective. Particular, the standard model of crime prevention and intervention was accused of its ineffectiveness in solving crime cases such as rape, kidnapping and domestic violence. Scholars and government policy makers came to the realization that criminal justice systems such as random preventive police patrol and rapid police response did not have any positive effects as far crime prevention was concerned. Many people believed that the police was not able to maintain law and justice owing to its inability to contain crime. However, people changed their perception after the invention of the problem-oriented model (Gottfredson, & Hirschi, 1990). Introduction It is eminent that the police service has undergone many changes to improve its effectiveness as far as crime prevention is concerned. Indeed, various scholars have undertaken research to confirm that the conservative models of crime intervention are ineffective in preventing the occurrence of crime in society. Furthermore, standardized model of crime prevention has proved defective in solving crime cases in the contemporary society. This article reviews what other scholars have done as regards to problem-oriented crime intervention strategy, as well as research design that would be employed in collecting data. The focus of the paper is to establish ascertain
The UN Internet Governance Forum in Rio de Janeiro held on 12-15 November 2007 covered a wide range of topics related to the logical and physical infrastructure of the Internet. It was noted that there is a need to build up community infrastructures including critical Internet resources to meet the needs of 5.5 billion people who do not have access to the Internet. During the Forum held in Athens on 30 October – 2 November 2006, the aim was to provide a knowledge facility regarding issues related to Internet government. Despite the slightly different themes of discussion, both Forums were aimed at dealing with questions related to access, security, diversity, and openness. Forum in Athens (2006) The general aspects included the nature of Internet governance and consultation processes. The participants focused on the general organizational setting of the current Internet governance mechanisms and tasks of Internet governance organizations 1 . Discussion included an analysis of the ways in which Internet governance mechanisms could be understood in a broad set of international policy frameworks. Russia recommended including the discussion of issues related to the administrative management of IP addresses and the Domain Name System. Another objective was a focus on development issues of the Internet as a public infrastructure with a public goods perspective. Important issues of discussion included privacy of correspondence, third party interference, freedom of expression and information, security and stability, protection from political and commercial manipulation. Openness Many speakers and contributors noted the importance of openness as one of the fundamental principles of the Internet. The Internet provides a robust exchange of information and empowers millions of people to trade ideas and information and increase the wealth of knowledge 2 . The openness of the Internet is a key feature ensuring stability and security. The Internet offers an opportunity to communicate quickly at a low cost. Forum participants discussed an objective of an inclusive Information Society and continued economic and social development. However, consensus over the rules dealing with intellectual property rights in cyberspace was not achieved. One of the objectives was to decide how these rules should be developed to protect Internet openness and unrestricted flow of information. Special emphasis was made on the importance of open online education resources. Security Security was the second issue of discussion. Contributors and speakers noted that security was a key element in establishing trust and confidence among users of the Internet. The achievement of the Internet’s full potential coul
Unemployment has thrust itself as a serious socio-economic concern that has left many public policy makers scratching their heads for lack of a better approach to this societal menace. Unemployment exhibits itself when a person qualified and available seeks work but cannot find it. The extent of unemployment is measured as a fraction of those in the labour force. The world over, unemployment has posed serious challenges for governments. With rising labor costs and general economic slowdown, many countries have grappled with this socio-economic problem albeit unsuccessfully. Unemployment has created a string of other setbacks that include poverty, mushrooming of slum settlements, and high morbidity rates the world over. Current figures put the world unemployment rate at 30% for non industrialized nations and 4-12% in developed countries. On an individual country basis, Nauru leads the pack of the unemployed with 90% of her population without jobs (Meares, 1996). Socially the youth have been most affected and with an increasing number of them still jobless, there is a growing concern by governments as to the future of this supposedly promising population. For majority of youths, it is gloom as many do not find jobs as they grow older or finish their education. In Africa, youth unemployment stands at 21% which overlaps the world’s average of 14.4%. The stratified population alludes to a rate of 18.4% for young women and 23.1% for young men. The case for women is strengthened by cultural norms toward employment and a dearth of icons to motivate the young women to strive for higher than the profession of house-help. With access to education skewed in most parts of the continent in favor of boys, efforts to join the labor market become an arduous task for the young womenfolk. Cases of youth unemployment in Africa is exacerbated by dismal growth in economies in many parts of the continent coupled with other social problems live poverty and disease. With a large population to take care of the market for labour is overstretched from Johannesburg to Tangiers and cannot accommodate the influx of young job seekers leading to shortage or in some cases the total lack of employment for the educated and able population. Education too has a role to play in worsening the situation. The quality of education in many African states is wanting with students getting equipped with skills that are out of touch with the requirements of the job market. The curricula used do not churn graduates with the necessary skills to match the jobs they intend to take up. HIV also worsens the situation as it lowers productivity and life expectancy of many of the youth in Africa (Du Toit, 2003). The effects of unemployment are both social as well as economic. The jobless youth are forced to fend for themselves through alternative means including the informal sector and in severe cases prostitution and criminal activity. With rising migration to the urban areas, youth in the urban areas find considerable comp
Introduction Supply and demand are two vital aspects in any market economy. Supply refers to the quantity of a product that a market can avail. Another definition can be amount of a product that producers are willing to give out at a given price. Demand on the other hand refers to the quantity of a product that customers are willing to buy at a given price. The two are key in the determination of a product or service price (Adil, 2006). Usually, a product or service price keeps on varying until a point where the amount of demand at a particular price equals that of the amount supplied at the same price. This point is termed equilibrium. A relationship exists between demand and supply, which is very important in the determination of the amount of resources to be allocated purposes. Demand law and supply law are applicable in any type of market. The law of demand states that, if the price of a commodity is higher, with all other factors remaining constant, then the demand for the same good is low. This is because people cannot opt for the same good while others of the same value exist at a lower price. The law of supply states that when a products price is higher, then producers readily avail it into the market thus increasing supply (Henderson, 2004). Applying the two principles, that is, demand and supply to the hotel rooms in Sydney, Australia will be of great help in the determination of whether to increase or retain the same number of rooms in the city. There is a higher demand for accommodation than the supply is in Sydney and for this reason, more rooms for accommodation is required. This is in line with the laws of economy whereby supply and demand should match at a given point in order to reach equilibrium to ensure a stable economy. State of Supply and Demand for Accommodation in Sydney Sydney is a major tourist attraction in Australia and as such, visitors frequent the city. This calls for more accommodation facilities. According to Jones Lang LaSallee Hotels (2010), Sydney is a major Gateway to Australia and receives a higher number of visitors at night compared to any other city in the country. A survey carried out in 1999 on accommodation supply and demand showed that an increase in the number of visitors was to be 7.3% each year in a span of ten years. This gives a suggestion that supply of accommodation should be increased in order to meet the anticipated increase demand. However, this has not been feasible due to higher costs of construction and land purchase, which all along has not been compensated for because of poor market for accommodation (Jones Lang LaSallee Hotels, 2010). Sydney city has all along not reached the anticipated growth in accommodation market. This is attributed to various factors, major ones being; firstly, in 2001 and 2002 most of accommodation rooms were converted into residential rooms owing to the reason that they are more profitable compared to the former (Jones Lang
Say Not to Psychiatry focuses on detrimental effects of psychiatric treatment to both individual and society. However, the article discusses the issue from an unusual, unpredicted angle, heavily criticizing all current methods and approaches to treating mentally impaired people (Say No to Psychiatry: Site Index, 2007). In fact, such a criticism is not sufficiently grounded because no specific evidence is provided to support the thesis. For treating a moderate anxiety disorder, the psychiatrists use minor tranquilizes, such as Valium, or diazepam, which is frequently prescribed by American doctors. Librium and Xanax are among the most popular drugs after Valium. Apart from medications, psychiatric therapy is of great value as well. When a person has a serious eating disorder, he/she feels overwhelmed with issues connected to food consumption, dieting, and weight gain. In addition, there are also physical signs of the disorder, such as underweight or overweight, constant irritation, inappropriate reaction to the questions about food, inadequate assessment of their physical appearance. After the rehabilitation period, former substance addicted individuals should be regularly monitored for about three month before they get down to work. The monitoring should be held weekly and be accompanied by regularly meetings with counselors who should evaluate the psychological and emotional stability of the patient. Specifically, the role of counselors consists in defining the problems and behaviors that addicts usually encounter while fighting with their dependency. The rehabilitation period for substance addicted individuals is involved into a criminal justice program. Therefore, people who abuse drugs and alcohol because legally responsible for any violations in the workforce. In this respect, the counselor also becomes liable for the decision he/she makes and, therefore, if the client is allowed to return to his former job position, it means that the counselor takes responsibility for his/her client actions. Under the auspices of the World Health Organization, the passive-aggressive behavior is identified as Axis II personality disorder. According to DSM-IV, passive-aggressive personality is characterized by overtly ambivalent actions, endless conflict with others, as well as disappointment with everything these individuals do. The individuals with this disorder largely depend on conflict and desire to self-assert themselves. Ascetic people do not expose significant mental deviations because their goals in life are more connected with philosophical and ideological perspectives. However, people who are too obsessed with this lifestyle and pay extreme attention to their food preferences could be regarded as mentally ill. Huntington’s disease does not have any cure, and the available therapy is possible only to reduce the severe development of some of the symptoms. Medications could also be involved to treat some psychiatric
Voice recognition is the use of software and additional apparatus to capture voice-based commands from a user and transfer these to a computer. In recent years there had been an increase in the development of software and approaches to software design. Among the examples of such advances are witnessed in voice recognition software that is used to convert text to speech (Neustein, 2010). His type of software is widely used in call centers and other such facilities where automated responses may suffice. Another use of this concept that has been widely explored through software is the use of a voice message for authentication. Speaker authentication or identification requires that the speaker record their voice while saying a keyword used for identification (Neustein, 2010). The computer system will analyze the voice pattern to confirm that the speaker is the same individual. This approach is very effective as a security measure and can be widely used to control access. An example of this software is the program Dictation 2004 4.4.1 which can be purchased at approx $49 from various sources online (freedownloadscenter). Since the software will most likely require the purchase of a microphone it is suggested that a microphone that is compatible with the plugs on conventional sound cards is selected.
3C Media Every person has a right to live in a healthy environment. Even though their activities may affect nature negatively, all people should be equal initially. It is just like a right to be healthy and receive healthcare services that are to be a basic right of the population. In addition to those impacts of climate change on humans discussed in the lecture, it may affect people’s health through the increased number of possibilities to get injured accidentally. For instance, it can lead to earthquakes and floods. I might have contributed to the adverse health consequences when I burned leaves. My actions generated airborne particulates that worsened people’s health. Some time ago, I tried smoking under the influence of my peers. As it is not my habit now, I do not need to make any related lifestyle changes. However, I am sure that those individuals who smoke should abandon this habit as soon as possible. They do not only harm their own health but also affect the well-being of others negatively. Recently, I started thinking that it would be great for me to start exercising and running, as I spend a lot of time sitting and start feeling that I lack action. To enact these plans successfully, I have already bought appropriate clothing. Moreover, I am going to develop a schedule of training that will help me to follow my daily regimen, accomplishing all points. The main environmental hazard that can be seen in my city is a plant that worsens the quality of air. Electromagnetic fields that can lead to cancer are produced by electronic devices. Having x-rays is also dangerous because of radiation. Toxic chemicals can be found in various goods provided by shady organizations. Finally, superfunds can affect the land. EnergyStar is an EPA program that is likely to improve environmental health. It encourages US businesses to invest in energy-efficient products. As a result, they can save money and minimalize negative impacts. Toxic Substances Control Act is an environmental regulation targeted at the control of chemical substances and mixtures. It urges the necessity to record their use and follow strict requirements, etc. Rick Love is one of the current environmental leaders. He represents United Technologies Corporation and ensures that its businesses meet environmental goals, such as the reduction of emissions and waste or the efficient use of resources.
