When it comes to the human resources of a company, it is often said that they are most important assets that belongs to the company. It is said by the President of a successful company that what the company does is take care of its employees, if the employees are intrinsically happy with our care, they will take good care of the customers and when the customers are taken good care of, they will come again and again to us for repeat purchases of goods and services, thus forming a long term relationship, thereby increasing profits and ultimately making the shareholders happy. Thus, it all comes down to the fact that a company’s employees should be first made content which then starts a chain which takes care of all other stakeholders. A cultural workforce is one which consists of all genders, races, ethnic, sexual orientation, religion and nationality. In the modern corporate world, it is widely believed that having a cultural workforce becomes strength of the company as it gets ideas from people from such various backgrounds (Jackson, 2006). Culture The communication pattern in a culturally diverse workforce organization also depends on the kind of organization structure that exists. Does it facilitate communication to enhance effective knowledge management? Structure can be vertical, autonomous or network. All kinds of structures have different implications for how the human resources shares and communicates knowledge. The second issue is that of culture. Different kinds of corporate cultures exist in various organizations (Jackson, 2006). The type of communication that human resource does depends a lot on the culture that exists there. For instance, there is the “clan” culture, where all the human resource exists as a family and believes in sharing information. Then there is the reward system, which can play a huge role in whether knowledge management is effective or not. For instance, if the organization links some rewards to those who are sharing knowledge, then employees are more likely to share knowledge. Opportunities/Obstacles of being a member of both the dominant culture and an ethnic culture When an employee is part of the dominant culture, then the opportunity that he has is that he is well aware of the environment and the culture that exists around him and he does not feel like a lost person in a huge organization. When he sees people from different cultures around him, he feels superior and more self-confident than they are. But the obstacle is that he is working in a culturally diverse workforce and he cannot assume that he is superior because the company is going to treat both the employees as same. Moreover, he would also have to learn to communicate with them in their ways (Hoeckiln, 1995). When an employee is part of the ethnic culture, the opportunity he has is to learn about many other cultures or the dominant culture and the acceptance he gets from the company. But the obstacles can be harassment from other employees of the dominant culture. This might not be allowed in the office
Chaplin was a man who sought to make the world a better place, for this reason he used all the opportunities to entertain and at the same time educate people on serious issues affecting the community. In the movies A Dog’s Life, it’s no exception to this fact. Besides being an entertaining piece of silent film, the message Chaplin puts across, is that there is more to life than having a conventional job. People spend a lot of money and time in search of what is regarded as a conventional job. People want to work in offices and put on suits; this has shown that there are many people waiting in job placement offices in search of jobs. Since the jobs are not as many, most of these people end up being disappointed, thus become sad and miss other things that life offers. Trap misses job vacancies, although he is sad, he gets the chance to meet Scraps, the dog that becomes his best friend. The theme of friendship and love that is clear in the relationship between Tramp and Scraps. They have nothing in common apart from both being in difficult situations when they found each other, therefore, their loyalty to each other. People get too busy with their careers and forget what it means to have good friends and how to maintain friendship. Chaplin attempted to show that even in the lowest of moments something good could arise. Therefore, people should be open to whatever they get even if it is not necessarily what they wished for in the first place. The relationship between Tramp and Scraps is admirable, as they became best friends. Tramp is a homeless person, but he portrays himself as being satisfied with the position he holds today. Tramp laughs, enjoys fun, and is in no way depressed by sleeping in the dump. He seems happy when entering the dance wagon and one would be tempted to think he is as rich as the other people in the wagon were. Only his dirty clothes and Scraps demonstrate his poverty. Since the movie has no sound, one need to be keen to understand the message. Chaplin has managed to bring out the themes in the movie using different aesthetics. The main being that Chaplin makes it very comical thus; it is appealing to the audience, and captures the attention of viewers from the start to the end. This is important because it is a silent movie. Thus, it requires viewers’ attention in order to understand the movie. Tramp, Edna and Scraps seem engrossed in their roles, this brings out the best in their characters when they act. Musical cues and soundtracks assist in bringing out the intensity of different scenes thus adding to the appeal of the movie to the viewers. The title, A Dog’s Life is symbolic, as it shows rich people look down on poor people as they think they live like dogs. It may be true in some way, as Tramp and Scraps fight and rummage for food together like two dogs. However, their life is full of happiness and freedom since Tramp and Scraps can live their life the way they want without being judged by others. There is always something to live for even when one finds himself or herself without a permanent job. Thus, the symbolism of the title is very clear when one watches the mo
Racism, especially in the U.S., is a real social vice that has attracted noteworthy attention for many years. Different people living in America during different periods, especially from the nineteenth century, viewed racism as a social threat that needs concerted efforts to come to an end. Frederick Douglass and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento are some of the earliest scholars to write about racism to advocate for equality. Dr. King Jr. is famous for publicly declaring his dream of a U.S. free of racism in the future. However, the dreams of Dr. King Jr. and several other leaders wishing for a fair America remain a mere dream to date. Arguably, racism remains a critical issue in America because of the significant division and contradiction among its scholars and parties pushing to alleviate the vice in the U.S. communities. The present work uses Hooker’s book to correct the notion that real differences exist between racial accounts between Mexican and African American scholars. Reading different scholarly accounts on racism often makes one perceive the issue as subjective. For example, there is a mistaken notion that racial reports from Mexican scholars and authors differ from those provided by African American authors. This aspect often leads to wars and further divisions among parties fighting against racism, thus, creating room for the vice to continue (Lopez and Candis). Such divisions, however, stand to decline or end courtesy of literary works like that of Juliet Hooker. Hooker is a political science scholar in the U.S. who is highly concerned with racial issues. The author’s 2017 book, for instance, seeks to shed light on the commonality and thematic similarities among four racist scholars and writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Hooker juxtaposes the works of two Africa-America and two Mexican race scholars to show their similarities in anti-racial concepts. Among the four scholars are Douglass and Vasconcelos, the first persons to write influential accounts on races. Douglass was African American, a former slave, and a brilliant individual who fought to become a powerful public figure and author. On the other hand, Vasconcelos was a witty Mexican politician, revolutionist, and philosopher with a deep interest in race and racial issues, just like Douglass. These racial scholars lived during different times, but their works exhibit noteworthy similarities. By covering the two scholars and others, Hooker succeeds in showing that the perceived differences between racism as viewed by Mexicans and African Americans are erroneous. He instead, proves that Douglass and Vasconcelos’ works on racism inform each other (Hooker 196). Consequently, the author insists that racism scholars and policymakers must understand the connections between the two seemingly antagonizing hemispheres of racism scholars, Mexicans, and African Americans, to work together. Additionally, Hooker’s work discussion of Mexican racial accounts or experiences as exceptional is wrong and leads to mistaken thematic divisio
Major Data Breaches within Organizations The case of the premier presents several issues that demonstrate significant data breaches within the organization. It is essential to start by analyzing some of the fundamental problems that are in one way or the other related to the significant data breaches. The top management of premier outsourced data management services. This means that the data center for this company is at Q data. IPremier bought a service space, power, and communication system, so all the hardware is at Q data. According to Khong (2007, p. 112), outsourcing such services is not wrong, but the issue may arise when dealing with sensitive information. The first significant breach of this case is that this service was outsourced to a different company other than premier. IPremier has access to vital customer information, including their credit cards. The contract that this company has with its customers does not disclose that these critical pieces of information are in the third hands. Customers know that it is the company that has access to such vital information about them. However, it comes out that this information is managed by Q data, a company that has no direct business contract with the customers. This is considered a breach. Some customers are particular when it comes to accessing their personal information. The premiere was wrong in allowing third parties direct access to and full management of its customers’ sensitive information. The cause of this breach might have been the company’s desire to maintain efficiency in service delivery by outsourcing some services that needed technical expertise. This was a strategic move, but one that may have some profound implications. Allowing third parties to access the vital customer information, including their credit cards, may pose a severe danger to the firm. The values of the outsourced company may not be the same as that of the premier. This means that the customer information, and other classified data, may not be handled as correctly as may be desired by the stakeholders at the premier. This could be one of the main reasons why the attack occurred. The second breach that occurred based on this case was the attack on the website. Customers, staff members, and all other major stakeholders of this company expect to access the information from this company. However, this was not the case on this particular night. The website was locked up. At this stage, it was difficult to determine whether this was happening at Q data, or the problem was emanating from a different location. Denying customers access to the relevant information in itself is a breach. Customers trust that they will always be allowed to access the relevant information from this company. If there are any common technical issues, they need to be informed in advance. However, this did not happen, and when the
Abstract Background The increase in awareness of individuals across the world with renal artery stenosis (RAS) has led to interest regarding the safety and accuracy of various methods applied in its diagnosis. The prevalence of RAS as well as hypertension among children has been vividly identified in most of the current studies. Various diagnostic modalities have been embraced although they all have advantages and drawbacks that affect their performance. The accuracy of Doppler ultrasound (DUS) diagnosis on children with hypertension has been one of the concerns of parents and scholars. Various studies have considered angiography as the golden standard for the diagnosis of RAS among children (aged between 0 and 18 years). However, the choice of the method of diagnosis is strongly dependent on the safety of the patients being examined. As a result, the use of invasive methods such as conventional angiography is discussed to assess the safest methods to diagnose RAS. Similarly, non-invasive methods such as DUS and computed tomography angiography among others are discussed. Research question How accurate is spectral Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing renal artery stenosis? Aim The objective of the systematic review was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Doppler (spectral) ultrasound in the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis among children with hypertension and its angiographic correlation. Methods The methodology used was a systematic review of qualitative studies with thematic analysis of major topics of the chosen studies. Additionally, electronic medical databases were used to select published studies and journals that were used in the systematic review. Five major medical databases were used. They include, EBSCOhost CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases to collect and assess studies. The databases were selected as they are the most used scholarly databases. Also, the five databases are rich in published and unpublished peer-reviewed journals that offer deep insight on the issue under consideration. Therefore, due to the abundance of sources in the databases used, it was possible to sort through thousands of journals and articles that resulted in the five chosen studies used in the systematic review. Similarly, inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to assess the types of studies that would be analysed. Only studies published in English were used to undertake the systematic review. Patients of both genders aged between 0 and 18 years were assessed to determine the accuracy of doppler ultrasound in diagnosing renal artery stenosis. Results Five studies were used in the systematic review. Moreover, among the five studies chosen for the review, three themes were evaluated and discussed using thematic analysis. One of the themes was the accuracy of the diagnosis of RAS among children (aged between 0 and 18 years). Additionally, the second theme studied was the safety of the diagnostic method chosen. Therefore, the use of invasive and non-invasive methods of diagnosing RAS among
First Visitors Snickers commercial First visitor snickers TV commercial utilizes a humorous execution style. The ad takes advantage of the current world situation caused by the pandemic to evoke a humorous appeal creatively. A couple is having visitors in their homes for the first time in-person interaction post lockdown. The male spouse thinks the meeting is happening over zoom and hence ends up emerging with a shirt and underwear (Snickers, 2020). The ad humorously exposes the male spouse by taking advantage of the zoom meeting, which only requires a good appearance on the upper part of the body. The television ad targets all age groups, including middle, upper-middle and upper classes in the society. Kelly Ripa’s 2X Ultra Tide Commercial This ad represents a slice-of-life scenario where a real-life issue is used by the tide to show how it can make the world and life better. The advertisement makes customers have a sense of relation to the events presented. It mirrors everyday life by depicting a normal event with guests at a table and an act of cleanness (Ourdailyripa, 2008). The ad targets the middle, upper-middle and upper people who are likely to utilize the product. This is a good ad because it utilizes social appeal to make customers believe the product can be a solution to routine problems by describing the beneficial effects of 2x Ultra Tide. Squatty Potty TV Commercial This ad provides a fantasy way mixed with a creative idea to bring a topic that could have appeared challenging to present in an advertisement. The ad targets middle and upper classes consumers who are likely to find new ways of enjoying bathroom matters. The attractive ad explains the bodily functions in relation to excretion by transporting viewers to a fantasy realm (Squatty Potty, 2015). The ad was excellent and effective as it utilized fantasy to talk about a topic that was rarely expected by many. It helps explain the advantages of using the squatty potty product in a manner that can be listened to and viewed by all age groups.
Abstract This report will discuss the various floor designs that Mike and Earl Moore can choose for their store, College Men’s Unlimited. The store has a space of 2, 800 square feet and rectangular in shape. The design will be based on this information. The layout for the new men’s store will be thoroughly explained by looking at the size, office space, storage needed and where the counters should be placed. Introduction A store layout should be based on the customers’ liking and should be structured in such a way that movement from one category to another is made easy. Each category should be placed in such a way that there is the correct amount of space between each category. Every square foot of the retail store should be able to explain how it exploits the sales in the store (Grant, 1995). All permanent structures, fixture locations and customer traffic trends should be included and displayed in the layout plan. Factors such: as the location of the building, how much inventory flows in and out of the store and the products being sold directly affects the store’s layout (Fullen, 2004). There are five basic floor plans that best display the most effective plan for maximizing sales. Body text The straight floor plan is suitable for any type of retail store. It is the most economical design in that it includes walls and fixtures to create small spaces in the space of the retail store. Stores that have definitive categories such as grocery stores, convenience stores, etc. can use this layout plan. Some restaurants may use a variation of this floor plan such that they create ‘cubicle’ style offices. This layout plan is created to enhance shopping
The title of the film The title of the film that I chose to watch is “Primary Colors”. It was written and directed by Mike Nichols and it was released during a turning point in our political history, March 20, 1998. The year when the American ideals and Kennedy optimism had once again taken over our country as Bill Clinton led the country out of recession and life began to boom once again. The theme of the movie The movie takes place during the Democratic Primary race for president. It mirrors the characters of then-president Bill Clinton (Gov. Stanton) and his wife, now Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (Susan Stanton), and their quest for the presidency in 1992. The movie borrowed some actual events and scandals from the Clinton campaign, though in a fictionalized manner. It discusses the political climate of that time, the problems the candidates were forced to address (which are still the same problems our politics faces today), and how politics is always a game of manipulation and deceit. The manipulation, deceit, political posturing, and personal attacks that the candidates go through is so life-altering that it takes away the innocence and “True Believer” attitude of Henry, Burton, the campaign manager of Gov. Stanton. The movie shows us the true drama behind each political campaign and how lives are directly and indirectly affected by the quest for the White House. Events shown in the movie related to the U.S. government and how it functions Political game on the congressional and senate levels One of the events show in the film that struck me as a realistic discussion of how the game of politics is played on the congressional and senate levels. I wondered how many in the government service were like Henry Burton, who was so jaded by the political game on the congressional, senate, and executive levels that he would push hard for his programs, knowing very well that it would end up in the dustbin either by lost votes or a presidential veto, just so he and the others who supported the program could celebrate a moral victory in the end. Forcing a veto does not help anybody except the politician who supported the bill and will surely use it as a future campaign platform for himself. There must be many like him in the offices of these senators and congressmen, the believers who keep trying to reach that political nirvana that we all know will never happen. Gov. Stanton’s speech on the government’s reality I also particularly liked the speech that Gov. Stanton gave during the Democratic primary debate. In response to his opponent’s question of what it was that he did not like since he seemed to like everything, his response was truly a well thought out and written piece of reality in a government where all the political players seem t always be fighting for the spotlight and their five minutes of fame. He said something to the effect of political posturing, or preventing solutions from becoming a reality just because you were not the one who thought of it was what he disliked the most. And that is a reality in our current political system. We cannot even get the yearly budget passed beca
