Abstract This paper focuses on the ITG technologies employed by the government in the United Arab Emirates and provides a deeper understanding of why innovations are important and should be implemented for the country to succeed. The United Arab Emirates experience rapid development in the field of implementation of advanced technologies into governmental structures. The Emirati government invests the impressive sums of money in the development and improvement of the non-oil segment. It is worth stating that the modern era of digital communication changes the way people live, and it is now reflected in governmental functioning. Introduction The United Arab Emirates is the country that is well-known for oil exportation. The UAE discovered the oil sources and it stimulated the rapid development of the country in all the spheres. Although the UAE is dependent on the resource, the government aims to develop the non-oil sector to improve economically. The Emirati government aims at bringing the country in one line with the top-ranking countries ( UAE vision , 2016). It has been acknowledged that IT governance is one of the most effective strategies to innovate and develop for any organization as well as the governmental organizations and the entire nation (Al Athmay, 2015). The UAE started the implementation of policies aimed at the integration of ITG in 2001, which was beneficial for the development of the country (Newcombe, 2014). The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the significance of the implementation of the technologies and e-governance in the UAE government. Informational Technologies in the UAE To become one of the leading nations, the country aims to improve and develop the Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The implementation of IT into the sphere of industry, health-care, and education can positively impact the development of the country and will consequently lead to the meeting of the objectives. The technologies affect the daily round of everyone. It is worth stating that the intense development of the Internet, mobile connection, and global networks stress the significance of innovations in modern life. As the technologies become pervasive, the government cannot ignore it and should use innovation beneficially. ICT is an integral part of the economy of every successful country. According to recent researches, the potential in the implementation of IT into the governmental structure is impressive (Al Athmay, 2015). The new system provides a
Introduction Modernization refers to the transition between the traditional agrarian society to developed modern society, which is based on industry and trade. It is a process through which a society undergoes social and economical changes like urbanization and industrialization that result to transformation of individual’s way of life. Modernism is a cultural change that entails continuous developing art, music, architecture, design, and literature that came up before 1914. The change was steered by artists and designers who were not in support of 19 th century historicists and academic traditions. Propagators of modernism embraced new social, political and cultural aspects of the rising modern world. Modernity in a society is defined as the presence of features of modern societies, which have democratic political organizations, capitalistic economies, industrialization and social stratification, women empowerment and their encroachment in social spheres initially dominated by men, low birth and mortality rates, standard system of education, and wide use of technology. Change in the Australian Society In the 1920s, the Australian society was characterized by a strong spirit and will to progress and embrace change (Bradley, Smith & Smith, 1980). This period was marked by tremendous improvement in Australians standards of living because of technological advances and mass production. Advance of technology in the Australian society increased materialism, consumerism and modernization, consequently leading to introduction of shorter working hours, establishment of car manufacturing industries and development of public infrastructure (transport). Entertainment and recreation industry has its roots in the development of dancehalls, picture palaces and introduction of radio. The figure of the ‘flapper’ and her mode of dressing initiated Australians quest for pleasure and changes in moral and social values and attitudes. The country experienced political change, a country party, communist party and ACTU (Australian council of trade unions) were formed. The society was still divided along race, class and gender. This period was characterized by industrial conflicts, strikes and capital –labor disputes, women were unable to exercise their political rights and indigenous Australians continued to be oppressed through marginalization and degradation (Bradley, Smith & Smith, 1980). During the early 20 th century, the Australians populations grew due to influx of immigrants. Immigrants and their cultures transformed the society in various ways. For instance, optimism society came up in Australia. The optimism society embraced new materials, colors and texture. Increase in population also led to a clear distinction between urban and rural residents. Australian academicians and researchers were able to draw a line between museums and galleries, and collection of antiques became a profession because of specialization. Bradley, Smith and Smith (1980) assert that modernism came into Australia in the early 20 th century thro
Database search results The state of any community is a concern that should be given great importance by the government as it impacts the health of the nation and contributes to the improved quality of peoples lives. For this reason, there are numerous programs aimed at the monitoring of the most nagging problems peculiar to society. These are an integral part of the modern healthcare sector as they are preconditioned by the creation of the database that is needed to provide the essential information for the comprehensive assessment of the state of health and creation of a certain set of actions to improve it. The databases of this sort could also be used when analyzing the current state of a community, its topical needs, problems and other essentials. In this regard, the given paper provides the detailed analysis of the most informative databases and their assistance in the evaluation of a community. Bergen beach, Brooklyn is chosen as the background for the research. It might help to describe the practical use of databases and conclude their efficiency. Yet, Healthy People should be considered one of the most credible and informative sources of this sort as it provides the relevant statistics that is collected by the governmental institutions and agencies all over the state. Additionally, the information about the most topical health programs run by the government is also offered. Healthy People database could be used to investigate the state of substance abuse in Bergen Beach. The database shows that by the year of 2015 the problem remains topical and needs some interventions to mitigate the negative impact of drug abuse (“Substance Abuse” par. 1). Statistics state that more than 15 percent of residents have tried drugs in their life (“Substance Abuse” par. 5). Additionally, this very research states that the number of drunk drivers also reduced compared to the previous years. At the same time, the situation with drugs remains complicated as the number of addicted people remains high. The database also provides a description of the main social determinants of health that impact the quality of peoples life in a certain community. These are defined as the conditions under which we live (“Social Determinants of Health” par. 4). Moreover, the leading health indicators that are described by this database show that there is a tendency towards the improvement of certain aspects, though there are still no changes in some aspects, which means that the situation is complex throughout the state and community. Center for Disease Control and Prevention also provides credible statistics related to the use of substances and smoking. It shows that the situation in the community remains complex. New York is not the most smoking state; however, from 13 to 17 percent of its residents are addicted (“Current Cigarette Smoking Among Adults in the United States” par. 5). New York City Department of Health website offers another portion of data related to smoking. It states that the topicality of the problem and the threat posed by smoking precondition the introduction of prevention programs that will reduce the number of people w
Introduction Eugene O’Neill was one of the most famous playwrights ever known in the history of America. His masterpiece, “Long Day’s journey into the night”, is at the tip of several outstanding plays the writer had. Eugene Gladstone O’Neill was born in New York City in 1888 (Selman & Zainal 444). His talent for piercing and poignant dramas came from a life glaring with challenges. After being born, his mother, Mary Ellen, had undergone difficult childbirth and was given morphine to assist her. However, she developed an addiction to the drug as she was also grieving for O’Neil’s older brother, who had been infected by measles and died three years earlier. On the other hand, his father was a stage actor who, at the time, had a role in a touring production of a particular film. Most of O’Neil’s early life was spent on the road, in hotel rooms, trains, and backstage (Otto). He was then sent to a boarding school at seven years old and would grow up to blame his father for the rough and challenging time the family led. As a child, he was brought up with two influences that were mainly in a dramatic conflict; his father’s peasant Irish Catholicism and his mother’s genteel mystical piety. Therefore, Eugene O’Neil had theatre in his blood, and his high sense of drama and his struggle with religion and God (all depicted in his play) were a result of his parents. Writing Career and Plays O’Neil never finished his formal education, but he would later attend a playwriting class at Harvard. He tried several careers, such as writing as a journalist and working on steamer ships as a seaman. After being diagnosed with tuberculosis, Eugene O’Neil reflected on his life and goals and decided to enter into playwriting. This saw the surfacing of a theater writer who would in the coming years, grow to be one of the most admired playwrights. A very small theatre group called the Provincetown Players acted in Eugene O’Neil’s earliest plays which mostly entailed the years he spent as a seaman (Selman & Zainal 443). They consisted of a series of one-acts that largely contributed to O’Neil’s quick push into the writer’s first triumphant period as a playwriter. He then became a full-time author of many full-length plays, including the famously known “Strange Interlude”, “Anna Christie”, and “Beyond the Horizon”. Aside from this, the writer also worked on other plays that brought new standards to the modern stage of America through the use of Greek drama to paint present world characters. Eugene O’Neil’s Themes Among the constantly noticed themes in Eugene O’Neil’s pieces are those of death and mourning. This is majorly du
The actual instruction given to Duff and Menzies was that the trust should be managed in order to produce returns that will support the Museum in perpetuity. In order to fulfill this objective, the funds of the Museum were invested in the equity shares of large, long-established, and high reputed companies. They have also chosen a diversified portfolio of companies from different sectors so that the risk could be reduced. They have also avoided investing in small and other start-up companies which are high-risk-bearing. In order to analyze whether the investment decisions made by the managers are correct or not, the returns of each of the companies are analyzed separately and also compared with the FTSE index. ( Educated Investor: How to Evaluate Investment Portfolio Performa nce. 2000). That means that an absolute and a relative comparison are made. In the absolute comparison, the absolute return of the portfolio is considered. Looking at the returns of each of the companies in which the investment is made, L & G in which 1000 shares is being held is showing a declining trend from the year 2002 to 2006, and only in the year 2007, it is showing an increasing trend, which may continue in the next year also. Thus investment in the insurance sector will not cause any risk to the investor. In the case of the DSG, which is the durable consumer industry, provided a steady increase in the dividend up to the year 2006, and in the next year, it declined to a great extent, and in the later years, it will also show a declining trend in the coming years. There are 800 shares held in this company, which should be reduced since the returns provided by the company will be low in the coming years. So the portfolio should be rearranged in such a manner that investment should be increased in those companies which will be offering higher returns in the coming years. They are holding 400 shares of the BP oil company, whose dividend share is increasing over the years, so it is better to hold more shares of this company, and its share in the total portfolio should be increased. Similarly, in the case of HSBC also the dividend is showing an increasing trend, and so the share of this can also be increased in the later years. But the dividend share of the EMI is decreasing, and its share in the portfolio can be decreased so that the total returns of the Museum can be increased. The same case is with S & N, in which the dividend share has decreased, and there are more or fewer fluctuations in the dividend, so it is better to reduce their share in the total investment portfolio. This will help the management to reduce the risk. In the case of ITV, the share of the dividend is fluctuating in some years, but it has shown a high dividend percentage in the last year. It will definitely show an increase in the dividend percentage in the later years, so it is better to increase the investment in the ITV so that the overall returns will be more in the entire portfolio investment. Overall in the entire portfolio should be rearranged in such a way that the equity inve
Mission Nowadays, the ever-developing world puts great responsibilities on personal development of modern people. One of the key success factors in such dynamic environment is flexibility in both thought and action which is attainable through constant renovation and update of one’s educational experience. Lifelong learning becomes the key to one’s ultimate success in all spheres of life, including inter alia employment and health (Field, 2006). Considering the objective inability of standard education to satisfy the immediate ever-changing need for innovatory knowledge during one’s whole life, it appears most reasonable to work out a lifelong learning plan so that the need for development and adaptation is fulfilled. In addition, individual lifelong learning plan is the more successful that it satisfies the requirements of flexibility: it is much easier to adapt an individual plan to the ever-changing environment rather than revolutionize a whole organization. Environment Since the pace of development in modern world is extreme, any long-term planning should be approached with caution. One never knows how the course of development will proceed in the long run, therefore it appears more reasonable to set up an individual lifelong learning plan that would not exceed the coming decade. This period is both long enough to allow of setting considerable learning objectives, and short enough not to find oneself at a loss as a result of mistaken planning. A decade’s time is enough for a modern individual to attain significant knowledge, as well as develop one’s abilities that lead to a successful career in the chosen sphere. Vision Any learning is impossible without proper learning sources that provide adequate information and guidance on the studied issue.
Introduction The American government has a cardinal duty to protect citizens against recurrent dangers and security threats. The world is increasingly insecure due to the stakes of various players in the global arena (Alperen, 2011). In light of these challenges, President Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1984. The initiative had the mandate to oversee and coordinate efforts against nuclear attacks on America. Critics argued that the program had no rationale concerning upholding national security. They questioned its capacity to forestall nuclear attacks against America (Alperen, 2011). They branded it a misplaced priority, citing poor funding and insufficient technological prowess. They argued that the initiative did not satisfy the ideals of American society concerning national security and foreign policy. This research undertaking seeks to support the extension and intensification of the initiative in light of developments articulated in the Iran scenario. This essay will support efforts by America to strengthen the initiative and promote its propagation (Alperen, 2011). Discussion Nuclear energy remains an important source of power in various countries across the world. Apart from the production of power, nuclear energy is vital in making weapons that have a high capacity for damage. With such advancements and innovations, America should intensify efforts towards safeguarding its citizens against external aggression. In the past, similar initiatives emphasize monitoring countries that had nuclear capabilities (Alperen, 2011). They assumed that nuclear weapons were a preserve of countries and territorial entities. However, there is an emerging reality of terrorism in the contemporary world. America should, therefore, intensify the initiative to ensure that it covers such emerging issues about national security. The American government should always struggle to ensure that citizens are free from all forms of attacks by external enemies (Alperen, 2011). The strategic defense initiative should continue because it offers numerous advantages to the American nation. Through this initiative, people acquire vital training and knowledge regarding nuclear energy and technology (Streissguth, 2012). This knowledge is critical in ensuring and guaranteeing the security of American citizens. Through this initiative, America develops a high capacity for nuclear energy that is useful in many areas. Such energy is useful in areas such as the food industry and the provision of medical care in hospitals. The laser technology is especially instrumental in undertaking medical procedures such as surgery (Streissguth, 2012). The initiative should continue because it offers numerous benefits for the country. The initiative has a major role to play in safeguarding the interests of America with its external partners. The initiative should work in harmony with other national programs to ensure maximum results on security matters. It should explore relevant options, such as the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) (Streissguth, 2012). The National Terrorism Advisory
Introduction Team’s motivation, satisfaction, and performance greatly affect the level of productivity of a given organization by either impacting positively or negatively on the overall production output through individual inputs in the production process. Thus individual workers level of motivation, satisfaction and performance is paramount to teams output. Key to individual members of a team input in the production process is their behaviour which shapes their work pattern and productivity outcomes. Therefore, motivation, satisfaction, and performance of a team or a group largely are shaped by the behaviour of the team or group members. In enhancing the three factors within the team, communication plays a major part. This is quite true since communication plays the following functions within a group or an organization: first, it controls member behaviour in a variety of ways. Secondly, it enhances motivation by giving clear directions about how a task should be done and how to improve performance. Thirdly, it enhances emotional expression of feelings and fulfillment of social needs; and finally, it facilitates decision-making (Robbins & Judge, 2011, P.343). Communication appears to facilitate these factors while the behaviour mainly shapes their outcomes. Within a team, behaviour is influenced by factors such as attitudes, emotions, personalities, and the values of the team members. The next part of this paper will address how these factors influence behaviour and team spirit, and eventually the overall team productivity. Attitudes Attitude and behaviour are quite interconnected with many studies reviewing that attitudes actually plays a key in shaping our behaviours. Attitudes are stable over time, and are directed towards a thing or a situation, thus they influence our behaviour (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2009, P.51). Hence, people mostly tend to behave in manners that match their feelings. For example, in team meeting if a member has a dislike for coffee and the team is served with coffee that person will mostly likely turn down the offer. Though the relationship between attitude and behaviour is very visible, it is extremely complex to determine the effect of an attitude on the behaviour outcome. Team members form attitudes about many objects in relation to their work, a thing that greatly influences their individual performances. In teamwork, individual attitudes that are vital are those that touch on hope, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2009, P.51). It is through hope that individual members of a team are able to put together their willpower to tackle a given task. Within the team the high-hope persons are attentive, embrace the suitable behaviour for the t
