Introduction Betty Friedan’s work, titled The Feminine Mystique, is a captivating masterpiece that speaks about a fifteen-year period between the 1950s and 1960s when America sought to redefine femininity all over again. The author’s audience is the woman who had been viewed as an object whose only job was to take care of household jobs. According to Friedan, “Women no longer left their homes, except to shop, chauffeur their children or attend a social engagement with their husbands”. However, the 19 th century was marked by a rise in women’s assertiveness and the need to gain valuable steps toward attaining equality with men. For the first time in history, women could attend college and even attained political rights early into the twentieth century. However, these achievements were reversed by an increasing desire by women to be feminine by denouncing everything that appeared unfeminine. They were now content with being housewives and mothers, regardless of their degree of education. Indeed, most of the women were now going to college to seek husbands among fellow students. This paper analyzes Friedan’s arguments, how she supports them, and the issues she overlooks in her book. Analysis Friedan successfully delivers her main point of showing how the reversion of the age-old definition of tradition resulted in a crisis among women who felt dissatisfied with their new role as homemakers and mothers. They were yearning for something more, although they did not understand what it was. The middle of the twentieth century was a dark era for women as far as gender equality goes. Women had fought for and attained equality toward the late nineteenth century. According to Friedan, indicators of this victory and hence the mark of revolution in the book included education for women, voting rights, and women being able to take up careers. Initially, getting married and having many children had become the new occupation were going to school to earn education was no longer a priority. Friedan’s work may not be welcome by many schooling women of today, especially based on her argument that females went to college to look for companions. However, her argument is in line with the 1960s’ state of affairs since getting married became more important in the 1960s, the age for marriage dropped to the extent that girls as young as thirteen were seeking men for a hand in marriage. It did not escape the notion that a lot of brainpower was going to waste since women shunned the path of academics to embrace the family. When half the country’s population is not using their intellect to build the nation, economic advancement must be affected. Friedan seeks to address various structural issues that bedeviled women in the pre-feminist era. The issues range from societal/cultural to corporate. The oppressed women could only wake up to prepare their husbands for work and the children for school. During the day, they would jostle between feeding the babies and taking the household laundry to the cleaner. Meanwhile, she had resigned from doing any other jobs to giving birth. According to Friedan, the average woman was having abo
Introduction The domain of physical development in early childhood is especially important because children do not grow at a steady pace. Additionally, it is essential to understand the importance of the neurological system and the changes that occur with it. According to Hoffnung et al. (2010) and Papalia Wendkos Olds, and Duskin Feldman, (2009), the domain consists of aspects that relate to biological changes. The authors point out that this aspect involves changes in the body, including improvement of motor skills, development of brain functions, and alterations in the state of health. Milestones that should be pointed out for children aged two to six years are stairs climbing, throwing a ball, ability to create simple drawings, primary writing skills, and the ability to put on clothes with the help of a care provider. The cognitive domain consists of approaches to thinking and processi
Information about the research will be distributed to specialists and referral organizations, such as instructors, healthcare assistants, psychologists, and physicians, during the course of the research. All participants will receive an Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) based screening with the nineteenth percentile as a limit measure (Reedtz et al., 2008). The problem and intensity measures of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory will comprise of the major result measures owing to the utilization of the Norwegian norms for the current age range. All participants who achieve a measure that is higher than the nineteenth percentile will consequently be questioned using the Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). All participants who achieve a sub-level or conclusive analysis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder will be incorporated into the procedure. In conformity to Angold and Costello’s recommendation about sub-limit diagnosis, participants who achieve one standard below the four standards that determine a formal DSM-IV Oppositional Defiant Disorder analysis or the other standards necessary for a prescribed Conduct Disorder diagnosis, while also exhibiting characteristics of reduced function, will be incorporated into the study. A total of fifteen psychotherapists will administer the Parent Training (PT), and nine will deliver the Child Therapy (CT) program at two different locations. All participating therapists will possess a minimum BSc or MSc qualification in psychology -related careers, with considerable clinical practice experience. All therapists will be offered training bas
Explain two arguments made by the Court concerning assisted suicide in the Glucksberg case. Are you convinced? The court clearly stated that it is a criminal offense to attempt or commit suicide. This law was formulated to protect and preserve human life (Bosselman 113). To ensure that the right to life is respect, the law was amended to include assisted or aided suicide as a criminal offense. Thus is an individual knowingly administered drugs or supplied weapons that will be used for murder, and then he is equally guilty. Further amendments were made to protect the dignity and independence of professionals. The amendments stated that withdrawal or withholding treatment that sustains the life of an individual by his/her request does not amount to assisted suicide. This law however ruled out physician-assisted suicide. The arguments are convincing enough since they aim at protecting and preserving the life of individuals. What are Rachel’s criteria for allowable euthanasia; do you agree? According to Rachel, euthanasia is only allowed if and only if the victim is suffering from unbearable pain. This exception should be administered to patients who are suffering from terminal illnesses, their chances of survival are slim and they are undergoing a lot of pain. He thus stated that euthanasia should be administered if the morals behind the action were justifiable and would result in happiness and killing a patient who is suffering from a terminal illness and undergoing a lot of pain by his/her request. Personally, I think that these criteria are justifiable as they will lead to more good than bad. Explain William’s nature-based argument concerning euthanasia. What might be an objection? The article that was presented by William clearly states that our bodies have a natural instinct of continuing to live. That is why in our everyday life we take many precautions to ensure that we are free from danger so that we can continue living. In our everyday lives, we take a lot of care to minimize the chances of us falling into danger or compromising situations that might compromise our health. That is why we dodge trucks, take medicine, eat, drink, work out, and ensure that we live healthy lives. Our internal body organs also work hard to ensure our well being. When we bleed, the capillaries automatically close up and fibrinogen is released to speed up the blood clotting process to prevent further bleeding. Our cells also have antibodies that kill any foreign material which may have caused harm to our body. Therefore, it is a natural instinct that we are alive and struggles by all means to survive Euthanasia on the other hand denies us this chance by intentionally taking away our life. This can only be objected to when an individual is suffering and the chances of recovery are low. It makes all the work which our bodies have worked hard to ensure that we continue to live. As a result, euthanasia goes against the laws of nature which ensure our continued living on earth. How does the argument concerning utility apply to the case of “Jack”? Do you think that Jac
Introduction Suicide basically refers to a situation where an individual takes his/her life willingly. This is the last stage after a long period of depression and the victim have not managed to get assistance in order to deal with the environmental stressors. A person contemplates suicide once his/ her mind has been stressed up to a point whereby it cannot bounce back. Suicide cases are very common in a society which is experiencing a social disorganization which touches all the other parts that makes up the complex whole. For instance after 9/11 attack in US many people committed suicide after losing their dear ones in the attack. In such an event people are faced with very catastrophic realities and they are disturbed thereby bringing in a psychological crisis in the society which needs to be dealt with before people start to contemplate suicide. This essay looks at the various myths that are related to suicide from a critical point of view as well as crisis intervention procedures that needs to be followed when treating a disturbed person and specifically a battered wife. Events that took place on 9/11 attack and their aftermaths will also be discussed in relation to crisis intervention as well as those steps that can be taken in order to make schools safe from local gangs. These topics will be handled under various sub headings one at a time. Discussion Myths about Suicide As I had indicated earlier on suicide means the act of killing one self and this act is intentional. Suicide is attributed to various social factors and it is increasingly becoming a problem in the contemporary world. In order to understand and prevent suicide we have to understand a number of myths that are associated with suicide and it is important to note that these myths prevent us from dealing with an individual before he carries out a suicidal act. In addition myths are common misconceptions that are related to suicide. Once we know the actual truth about suicide then we can easily identify people who are at a risk of committing su
Executive Summary Masdar City is a developmental project which focuses on the creation of sustainable settlements for companies and homeowners in Abu Dhabi. The multi-billion project is expected to take a leading role in transforming energy use in the country. Despite the noble vision that the founders and financiers of this project have, it is important to appreciate that conflicts may emerge. The paper looks at ways in which such conflicts can be managed to enhance the success of the project. Having proper systems and channels of managing conflicts will benefit all stakeholders within the city. Company Description Masdar City is a planned settlement project that is located next to Abu Dhabi International Airport, south-east of Abu Dhabi. Built by Mubadala Development Company, the city is designed to host 1,500 businesses and is home to 50,000 people (Wippel, Bromber, & Krawietz, 2016). The concept of this development is to rely wholly on renewable energy and to embrace environmentally sustainable practices such as reuse and recycling in line with the country’s vision 2030. Companies moving to the city must be ready to embrace these practices. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has already moved its headquarters to this city as a sign of its support for the concepts that the project embraces (Johnson, Toly, & Schroeder, 2015). The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology also moved its campus to the city. According to Alderson (2015), the United Arab Emirates has been a regional leader in promoting sustainable development, especially in the use of energy, water, and managing wastes. The government and private investors have been working as a unit to ensure that the country becomes energy efficient. Masdar City is a perfect e
The term of self-efficacy is applied to evaluate the confidence in a person towards the ability to accomplish a certain assignment. It has an impact on the assignment determination, perseverance, conveyed attention to the assignment, and the stage of objective exertion designated to a performance. Despite the importance of the self-efficacy and its impact on the job, little consideration has been provided towards its managerial insinuations. The article ‘Self-efficacy: Implications for organizational behavior and human resource management’ by Marilyn Gist aims to provide an evaluation of the self-efficacy perception and then, consequently, investigates its hypothetical and practical insinuations for managerial performance and human resource administration. According to the author of the article, self-efficacy is based on the continuing attainment of compound perceptive, communal, linguistic, and corporal abilities by the means of the existing knowledge. The people seem to scale, assimilate and assess the existing data about their skills; as a consequence, they make an attempt at regulating their elections and exertions in accordance with this knowledge. The concept of self-efficacy consists of three extents: magnitude, strength, and generality. Furthermore, self-efficacy is based on the perceptive assessment of one’s competencies. According to the authors, “self-efficacy affects one’s choice of settings and activities, skill acquisition, effort expenditure, and the initiation and persistence of coping efforts in the face of obstacles” (Gist, 1987, p. 474). Undoubtedly, the position of self-regulatory thought is a primary component in the practice of self-efficacy model. A number of academics have confirmed the optimistic outcomes of the establishment of an objective on the presentation in administrative situations. The assemblies with precise, detailed, and stimulating objective constantly have exposed more sophisticated levels of presentation than the assemblies with no objective at all, easily attained objective or “do your best” objectives. Self-efficacy is established with the help of communal learning courses. This practice in sequence results in more fecund objective establishment. It seems to be that criticism is imperative during the expressing of the effectiveness discernments that interrelate with the objective establishment to improve the stimulus of the performance. Inherent concentration is abstracted as the necessity for capability and self-purpose. In an explicit examination, it was established that self-efficacy is connected confidently to inherent concentration. For high inherent concentration to be existent high individual power and high proficiency are required. Self-efficacy could be now and then mixed up with consequence prospects in expectancy
The Asian continent is the world’s largest and most populous located mainly in the eastern and northern hemispheres. The population in Asia is estimated at about 4 billion people representing a whooping 60% of the world’s total human population as it currently stands (Lee 500). The Pacific Ocean borders Asian to the east while India is to the south of Asia. Asia is also bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean. There are several independent states in Asia with China as the single largest country. It is these many countries that define Asia’s varying distribution of wealth. It is also characterized by its immeasurable size and magnificent range of different cultures, historical backgrounds, environmental orientation, natural resources and different government systems. The paper seeks to primarily focus on the effects of famine in North Korea. It will highlight its background information, the cause of famine in detail as well as the role of its government system in influencing economic development. North Korea is a one of the countries in the larger Asia. It is also referred to as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) (Lee 513). Pyongyang is the largest and capital city of North Korea. It is divided from South Korea by The Korean Demilitarized Zone. North Korea borders China to its western region and Russian to the North-east. In 1948, North Korea declined to participate in an election that was held in the south which was supervised by the United Nations. This refusal led to the creation of the current independent governments of North and South Korean states (Lee 517). Continued tag of war for the sovereignty over the whole of Peninsula resulted in the Korean War in the year 1950. The war ended three years later with armistice but no peace treaty was ever signed which implies that the two states are still at war on book. The two states joined the UN in 1991 with North Korea withdrawing unilaterally from the armistice in May 2009. As far as politics is concerned, North Korea has been a single-party state. Its united front is steered by the Korean Workers’ Party and is governed by the ideology of self-reliance known as Juche which was advocated by North Korea’s late “Eternal President” Kim Il-sung. The ideology was made official in 1972 when the state adop
One of the greatest director-actor partnerships of the history of cinema, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, has provided many gems for the audiences, but according to me, Taxi Driver is the crown jewel for the partnership. With an immensely personal script from Paul Schrader, this partnership gave birth to Travis Bickel, a loner, who found his place in popular culture in no time. The analysis of the movie would indicate the transition of Travis Bickel from a person with no aim to finding purpose in the urban livelihood. The setting of the movie helps this approach of change. The setting for the movie is New York. Travis Bickel, a nighttime taxi driver, and a former marine is the main character in the film. He has chronic insomnia and so he decides to drive a taxi. Most of the story is set in the dirty streets of New York where Travis plies in the night and silently watches what is happening around him. The cleaning of streets by the corporation workers and the upcoming elections eventually juxtaposed in Bickel’s mind and after his romantic odyssey failed with the blonde angle of his dreams, Betsy; Travis decides to become somebody from a ‘nobody’. The sleaze and decadence of the “ city that never sleeps ” (Steiner, p. 123) urges Travis to unleash his violent side. This is done by plotting an assassination attempt on the potential Senator Palantine. Later, he saves a young prostitute from the clutches of the greedy pimps in the way. And most of the actions of Travis arise because of his loneliness in the city. So, the city of New York assumes a big part in the movie. As the yellow cab of Travis cruise through the underbelly of New York, which once Woody Allen said gave him nightmares, along with the hints of the beginning of the imminent globalization that was coming and alienating the people, together with set the tone of the movie with a brooding soundtrack of Bernard Herrmans (Steiner, p. 122). In the movie, we see a Vietnam War veteran, Travis Bickel, who lives alone in New York City, and to cure his chronic insomnia, he drives a cab in the night. His only pastime is watching pornographic movies in theaters and thinking about the regular changing conditions of New York City. He lives far from his parents and also does not tell them what he is doing for a living as he tells them that he is doing a secret Government job. He has his own opinions about good and bad. He is obsessed with a girl called Betsy, who refuses to entertain Travis due to his inappropriate behavior. After being turned down by Betsy, feeling powerless, Travis decides to do something that will clean up the society and plans to assassinate the Senator. But his plan fails for some causes. At this point in time, he meets a 13-year old prostitute, Iris, who wants to get out of the trade and the pimp. The last part of the story is centered on how T
Following the introduction of the healthy snacks in the market from the company, I hereby request you to consider employing E-marketing. As a marketing representative in the firm, my department has relentlessly worked and employed various marketing modes, in an attempt to find the best approach in the marketing of these products. As a result, my team has proposed e-marketing for marketing various products, including the introduced snacks. E-marketing versus Traditional Marketing Marketing is extremely pertinent in every business, since it creates the awareness of products and services that a firm offers. E-marketing is an effective marketing plan, since it serves as an exceedingly cheaper option, compared to other traditional media such as radio and television. For instance, a business blog is considerably cheap (Groves, 2009). Additionally, various types of social networking give the firm’s products to have more acceptation, as opposed to other forms of direct mails. In fact, some forms of online marketing are free. In addition, E-marketing is cost-effective, since the labor employed reduces drastically. As a result, expenses reduce, and hence this boosts annual revenue. Since e-marketing is an international approach, it will ultimately reach many prospective consumers, as opposed to various forms of traditional media that are mostly regional. As a result, the firm is able to receive large sales of the new healthy snacks through E-marketing, and hence increase the firm’s revenues (Groves, 2009). Besides, E-marketing is fast easily reachable by numerous potential customers in comparison to the traditional marketing process. Moreover, E-marketing is constant as long as there is internet availability (Boone & Kurtz, 2011). E-marketing also lacks geographical limits, making it a key marketing means in comparison to traditional marketing that has regional limitations. Additionally, various economists deem online buyers as having a better purchasing power that their traditional buying counterparts. As such, Kudler Company is bound to have an increase in the number of customers, and hence translate to increased sales (Boone & Kurtz, 2011). Besides, a huge number of prospective consumers mean that there is available market for the firm’s products. As a result, this enhances the ultimate growth of the firm (Boone & Kurtz, 2011). E-marketing and Increased marketing ROI E-marketing has a significant impact on the firm’s Return of investment (ROI). Kudler Company is bound to receive an increase in profits in various ways. Firstly, e-marketing will boost the figure of loyal customers. This will lead to the ultimate increases in the marketing ROI of the firm (Finora, 2009). Additionally, elimination of geographic boundaries will make trade with these remote customers simple, and thereby assis
