Introduction The concept of kairos means “right moment” that highlights the time’s value, a moment in an indefinite period when something unusual happens. Kairos is the right time and the right moment to open opportunities that require action to implement them or share the news that can be overwhelming for people. Kairos can also be defined as the decisive moment of fulfillment when reality condenses and changes fate. Main body There could be found different metaphors or similes for kairos, such as archery or skeet shooting. One can say that the “I have a dream” speech by Martin Luther King is an example of kairos that served as encouragement of fight for people in the US. Kairos is like cold water that appears in front of a wanderer going through the desert and is exhausted to death. Kairos concept people can use in writing by highlighting information that should be discussed at the urgent moment. For instance, a person can use kairos to disclose much worse imaginative news first and then present actual bad news to draw attention to the first piece of information. Kairos people can use when applying to a specific position and send a connection request for a hiring manager to highlight their skills and knowledge to stand out and be hired. Kairos managers can use to write an inspiring and encouraging speech or a letter for subordinates when the company has challenging times to help them stay motivated and move further. It is suggested that the most important and relevant concepts related to kairos are ethos (message), pathos (character), and logos (experience) that are different Greek terms related to rhetorical strategies that can be used in combination with kairos (Ramage et al., 2016). “Timeliness,” “the right time,” “opportunity” are the relevant words for kairos. Considering application activity #5, several essential points should be mentioned regarding the cover letter of Harold Sanchez. Several lines are effective as far as kairos, such as “I am eager to share my excitement for Technology Education with your high school students” and “if you have any questions or would like more information, you can call me at (817) 555-555” that are relevant for the hiring manager and show the willingness to work for a position. It can be stated that the exigence and purpose of the writing are not clear. To address this and get closer to achieving kairos, Harold could write, “I am writing to apply for a teaching position in Technology Education at Huddie Park High School.” While highlighting relevant subjects for the position, the author can use specific wording to show a deep understanding of the position’s goals, such as “My yearly work experience as a student teacher helped me train techniques that facilitate teaching process in robotics and engineering courses.” Furthermore, the author did not answer the so-what question directly and could reinforce it, stating, “my work experience and outstanding results in education are of a good fit with the teaching position that I want to obtain at Huddie Park High School.” Conclusion The author has chosen a more informal genre that might not represent the purpose of the cover letter effectively. Instead o
Aristotle made a discovery fundamental to all logic by introducing variables. Thus, it was shown that logic is not just a specific doctrine of specific things or terms, but the science of the laws of syllogisms, such as modus ponens or modus tollens, expressed in variables. Studying various judgments, formal logic abstracts from their specific content, revealing a structure common to objects of different content. Syllogism is the discovery of Aristotle and is the main and most original part of his logic. In the theory of syllogisms, Aristotle defined syllogism and distinguished its types, defined working and non-working types of syllogisms, and established three figures of syllogism. I find it particularly interesting that Aristotle was the first to make reasoning methods the subject of scientific research. He introduced the methods of reasoning as integral formations and not just certain reasoning components. Everything that was done in logic before Aristotle just attempted to understand individual methods and principles without any systematization and unification into a single coherent system. Thus, such concepts as Modus ponens and Modus tollens laid the foundation for understanding the definition of the truth of thinking. Thus, I am amazed at how accurately Aristotle introduced the concepts of conclusions that approach science by the rules of inference, the laws of contradiction, and the exclusion of the third. Modern logic as an independent field of knowledge arose from such different sciences as philosophy and mathematics. Being indeed a highly advanced concept, modern logic, however, lacks some characteristic philosophical features – it is more straightforward and technical. Modern logic is often called mathematical logic, thereby emphasizing the originality of its new methods compared to those used previously. In this sense, it is of less interest for discussion because it relies on exact sciences and computer technologists and avoids ambiguity. Thus, modern logic is built on artificial language and intelligence, which in itself is rather boring compared to traditional concepts.
Introduction Based in Italy, the Benetton Group is a fashion brand that is recognized in the global apparel industry. In the past, the company was associated with very controversial and silent advertisements consisting of pictures meant to send messages to clients. Specifically, in the year 1990, the company spent more than $8 million in advertisement campaigns that spurred a lot of controversy since they depicted the elements of different races sharing a common bond. Among the controversial and silent picture advertisements in the year 1990 included the image of a white man and a black man handcuffed together. Besides, there was the image of an infant white child being nursed by a black woman. In April the same year, the famous ad showing a black child’s hand resting in a white man’s palm was launched. The then company’s general manager representing the US stores stated that “we like to follow up a strong, controversial campaign with a softer approach” (Benetton Group, 2014, par. 6). Thus, this analytical treatise attempts to recreate the Black and White Hand advertisement in terms of its appropriate message, goal of the campaign and targeted audience, and a model for the advertisement strategy. Besides, the treatise formulates an integrated marketing communication plan and recommends third parties to approach to gain support for the campaign. The Black and White Hand Appropriate Message There is no limit to humanity. The center of happiness is in the fashion we share, the vision we want, and the
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) provided ten significant recommendations for transforming health professions education in order to improve quality and dynamic needs of patients. These recommendations, if adopted, would have significant impacts on nursing education, training, and practice. All these recommendations aim at providing effective methods of incorporating a myriad of competencies into health professions education. Overall, the recommendations cover “oversight processes, the practice environment, research, public reporting, and leadership” (Greiner and Knebel, 2003, p. 137). The IOM believes that the first basic approach to reforming education and practice in nursing involves the articulation of a shared language. This shall enable health care professional to communicate and collaborate with each other at the same level. In addition, a common language would be useful in informing the interdisciplinary proceedings about core issues. Stakeholders, both private and public oversight institutions, in nurse education would then adopt the agreed upon set of competencies into their practices. The IOM believes that a lack of common language in nursing education and practice has led poor developments in interdisciplinary team skills. Thus, a major reform in the nursing curriculum is necessary, but it must provide a common language and terms for coordinating courses and training activities. Besides, the committee has recognized that a lack of common language has hampered implementation of various proposals in nursing education and practices. It would also ensure that nurses and educators adhere to strict standards in health professions education. The IOM recognizes that developing a shared language is not simple. As a result, it calls on other stakeholders to support such interdisciplinary efforts with the purpose of achieving general standards on “a core set of competencies that include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics” (Greiner and Knebel, 2003, p. 124). The IOM has observed that there has been an increasing concern about patient safety. As a result, it has recommended that oversight institutions should incorporate competencies in nurse education and practice. This also accounts for differences in geography, patient characteristics, and the demand by the public and financiers for a greater accountability. The IOM believes that developing core competencies should focus across national, state, and local levels with an oversight framework, accreditation, licensing, and certificat
Introduction The prehistoric world starts from the Palaeolithic era all through to the emergence of Islam. Many of the contemporary concepts of art including abstraction and expressionism trace their origin to the primeval world. The history of evolution articulates the basic ties between the government, people’s beliefs, and art. This paper will examine the characteristics of two forms of ancient art. This will include the Greek and Roman art. It will compare and contrast the “Parthenon (447-438 BCE)” which is a Greek art to the Roman art “The Colosseum 72-80 CE”. The two examples symbolize the characteristics of each culture. Discussion One of the most acclaimed Greek Temples is the Parthenon. The temple was built in honour of goddess Athena in 5 BCE and was located in the region of Acropolis of Athena. The sculpture was constructed on the ruins of an older temple. The Parthenon was constructed on three marble platforms and in its architecture is based on three kinds of columns including Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns. These columns were used in the construction of holy places. In total, the Parthenon had 46 and 19 external and interior columns respectively (Neils, 2005). The base of the top part of the architecture was made of although it was covered with marble. The entire architecture comprised of white marble and when the sun shone on it, the southern side changed its color to gold with the northern side becoming grey. The sculpture was “provided with more sculptures than any template before or after” (Neils, 2005).It had four parts: the pedometer, metope, frieze and the statue of Athena which comprised of ivory and gold.

It is defined as the “troubling monument to Roman imperial power and cruelty” (Neils, 2005). It is one of the most prominent Roman structures and serves as an archetype for the contemporary colosseum. It was constructed during the reign of emperor Vespasian and rests on a six acre piece of land. As a result of its large size, the Colosseum could accommodate about 50,000 persons (Neils, 2005). In comparing the Greek sculpture “ Parthenon (447-438 BCE)” and the Roman “ The Colosseum 72-80 CE” , one sees two distinct pieces of two cultures though with similar values. The function of the Colosseum was quite different from that of the Parthenon. In the primordial era, the sculpture was used for leisure activities such as gladiatorial contests, communal spectacles and animal hunts. According to Preble and Frank, the Colloseum was built by rulers of the Flavian dynasty for pleasure and recreation (Preble & Frank, 2005). The Parthenon was architecturally built as a place of worshipping Athena who was a Greek goddess at that time and just like the other Greek temples, the building was also used as a treasury. In contrast to the Parthenon, the Colloseum is elliptical with an entertainment ground at the centre. We can, therefore, conclude that the Parthenon is th
The client has been exposed to various traumatic experiences he encountered during his lifetime. The interview method was adopted to obtain information about his traumas from the patient. At the beginning of the conversation, a series of simple yes or no questions was asked to elicit basic facts about the presence of psychological traumatization. Upon identifying its presence, questions of a more specific character were introduced, and the client gradually became involved in the conversations, during which he shared his life experiences. In the course of the examination conversation, it was found that the client, a 77-year-old man, had repeatedly been exposed to physical abuse by his boyfriend, who the patient does not see anymore. The patient has often been hospitalized with physical traumas (broken wrist and arm). The client’s current life is lonely due to the separation from his partner. The client has three siblings, but they do not communicate regularly, thus he does not receive any family support. The cultural background of the client is marked by his origin; he is of Puerto Rican ethnicity, where the concept of machismo obstructed his acknowledgment of being gay. At present, the client is seen at Aspire Health Alliance for outpatient therapy and psychiatric care. Diagnosis and Differentials/Co-morbidities The client’s health history contains diagnoses of posttraumatic stress disorder related to the patient’s previous victimization by his boyfriend. However, as the examination shows, there are more profound and more severe issues the client is dealing with mentally due to his family history and incidents of prior traumatization, including harmful relationships within his family as a child. Thus, I agree with the current diagnosis, but not with the basis on which it was made. Therapy and treatment ar
Introduction Emiratisation is a nationalistic strategy which has been adopted by the government of the United Arab Emirates to employ its citizens in a meaningful and efficient manner in the public and private sector with a chief aim of utilizing country’s human resources optimally in the economic process and to transfer skills and knowledge from foreigners to Emiratis (Wayne et al., 1999). Under Emiratisation the local and federal governments solve the challenges emanating from the policy by inviting and even compelling the private and public sector businesses to apply a specific Emiratisation ratio by adopting a quota based system (Suliman, 2006). Interestingly, with a total population of close to 5 million in the United Arab Emirates, 80 percent of this population is foreigners leaving the rest 20 percent to Emiratis. In the labor market the disparity is even bigger with UAE nationals consisting of only 9.3 of the labor market. The percentage of foreign workers therefore varies across the
Introduction The cultural orientation of a society plays a significant role in shaping healthcare. Culture impacts key areas including nutrition, environmental interactions, and migration patterns (Napier et al., 2017). This paper explores the impact of cultural values, beliefs, and practices on health in contemporary society. Specific Questions The interview questions included: What type of medication is used by the members of the Maasai culture? What cultural biases and beliefs exist about healthcare in the Maasai culture? And how do the biases and beliefs affect the health-seeking behavior of the members of the community? Implications of the Cultural Biases and Beliefs on Health The Maasai culture encourages the use of herbal medication. The culture is biased against conventional medicine, which has negative health implications due to the inadequacy of herbal medicine. Teenage marriages and polygamy encourage the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and birth complications, especially in young girls (Rashed & Hussien, 2015). Moreover, beliefs such as high bravery demands on males hinder timely medical attention among the Maasai men, hence worsening their health conditions. Reflection on My Cultural Norms My culture is less conservative and promotes a more civilized way of life. It also encourages education regardless of gender differences and allows the use of conventional medicine alongside herbs. Practices such as early marriages, polygamy, and obsession with masculine bravery are not part of my culture. I am comfortable with my culture because it fosters health and minimizes suffering brought by the use of crude medication methods. The Maasai culture is similar to mine in the use of herbal medicine. It, however, features retrogressive practices such as polygamy and early marriages, which are absent in my culture.
The Issue Recently a 2-year old boy was grabbed, pulled into a lagoon, and killed by an alligator at Disney Resort (McLaughlin et al. 5). This was not the first attack by an alligator reported at this resort. Recent reports have indicated that security at this resort is compromised and visitors are prone to alligator attacks, especially when walking within the park. It was also reported that no proper guidance and security warnings are informing the visitors of the dangers posed by these alligators. As such, most of the visitors fail to take precautions and therefore get easily attacks. In the past, some visitors have reported serious injuries from these alligators (Kinsey and Kafer 44). However, the recent case where a child was grabbed from its parents and subsequently killed by an alligator sent a shockwave to the entire fraternity of Disney Resort. The management, workers, visitors, and government authorities are all concerned about this issue as they try to thin
Introduction Wright has a special way of explaining things. When reading this book, a reader need not have a background knowledge on terrorism, Wright crafts the book in such a way that it consists of a ten page list of the main characters, fifty pages of notes, a list of interviews held, a bibliography and a clear bibliography for those who would love research the topic more. He also uses pictures of the main characters in the book, so that a reader can see the person being discussed. The book can be divided into two major parts with the first part focusing on giving the reader a comprehensive background and beginnings of militant Islam and the terror group Al Qaeda. In the book’s first three chapters, the writer writes bibliographies of three important persons. He writes about an Egyptian named Qutb who is seen as the father of militant Islam, he also writes about Zawahri who also is an Egyptian and a co founder of Al Qaeda. The last character in the three chapters he talks about is Bin Laden who is the central character of the book. After reading the first three chapters a reader gets to learn about the internal politics of two most important countries in the history of Al Qaeda: Saudi Arabia and Egypt (Wright, 2006). The author tries to explain how the governments of both countries might have influenced the rise of radical Islam movement. This is helpful for the reader to understand why Al Qaeda is against everything represented by the West. Through the book, a reader can visit the towns and cities where these men grew up. After writing the bibliographies, the author then looks at the bigger picture and writes two chapters on Saudi Arabia. In these two chapters the writer talks of a spy master, Turki, who is instrumental in the search of bin Laden. The chapters also discusses the political and social structures of the Saudi Kingdom, the Soviet-Afghan war, the Afghanistan – Pakistan border jihadist movement and lastly how jihadism has spread around the world. Wright at this point builds a strong groundwork so that when he starts to discuss about the Al Qaeda attacks a reader can understand the context. Wright then takes 200 hundred pages of the book to discuss the American Security and Intelligence agencies, The FBI and CIA. He tells of how the agencies reacted to the first cases of jihadists. This section of the book ends with a chapter dedicated on Osama’s life in Sudan (Bergen, 2010). The second part of the book looks at the Al Qaeda’s activities in the rest of the world. He begins by writing about how, in 1995, the Al Qaeda raided and bombed a building in Saudi Arabia that was housing Americans in the town of Riyadh. The chapters in this second part of the book are not very detailed and the writer talks of various key players. It is also in this second part we learn of the gruesome murder of tourist by Zawalhri. The author describes how Zawalhri stormed the Queen Hatchupset temple located in Egypt and killed all the tourists that were there. Wright then looks at the evolution of the terror group Al Qaeda on how
Abstract Sport-related concussion is a serious neurodegenerative condition with a complex pathophysiology, which is not well understood. Rising cases of concussion have resulted in attempts to manage the condition after the injury. Neuropsychological testing has been widely applied to assist injured athletes during cognitive disorder assessment and recovery management. While the tests are now popular, their validity and reliability have not been ascertained. Consequently, further research is necessary to develop reliable tools for neuropsychological tests for sport-related concussion. Sport-related Concussion: A Brief Overview Much attention has been directed to contact sports in the recent past. Specifically, the source of concern has been the immediate and long-term outcomes of sport-related concussion (SRC). Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head trauma, is now studied to determine long-term effects of contact sports (Saulle & Greenwald, 2012; Yi, Padalino, Chin, Montenegro, & Cantu, 2013). Football, the prestigious National Football League (NFL), now faces lawsuits and criticism regarding player management and safety following cases of mild traumatic brain injuries. More strikingly, most cases have originated from a majority of retired players. Understandably, the sport is based on toughness, powerful impacts, full contact and the ability to overcome attackers. To date, many researchers have presented studies on concussion and contact sports players. Concussion refers to traumatically prompted transient disruption of brain functions and constitutes an intricate pathophysiological process (Sisodia & Kumar, 2013). Sport-related concussion is not only restricted to football, but is also reported in boxing (the first known identified cases), soccer, hockey, and professional wrestling. Although neurological outcomes of sport-related concussion are well documented, neuropsychological tests and their relevance to concussion are not yet fully understood. This essay focuses on the reliability of neuropsychological tests following sport-related concussion. Management of Sports-related Concussion Medical management of sport-related concussion can be viewed as having two different elements. The first aspect of management encompasses acute care management of injuries suffered immediately after the contact with the goal of identifying and treating any possible neurological outcomes, such as cerebral haemorrhage. This form of intervention is usually not necessary since most sport-related concussions entail mild concussions that may not result in acute neurological crises. Medical personnel consider the second aspect of management vital. It requires observing various symptoms associated with concussion over time with the aim of noting the progress for return-to-play decisions. In instances of extremely mild concussions, absolute recovery is often noted after few minutes, allowing players t
