Introduction The term ethical response refers to the non violent campaign against the minority groups in society. There are several injustices against humanity that occur globally. The first step in ethical response is gathering data to determine the nature of discrimination. After gathering the facts, the next stage is the purification stage. This involves training the oppressed people on how to participate in the ethical response process. The main lessons here are how to avoid hitting back even when they receive attacks. The ethical response process should come after the negotiation process with the oppressors fail. The final stage in the ethical response process is the direct action. The process should not be characterized with any form of violence. There are several forms of injustices that happen globally (Piccolo 100-106). Racial discrimination is the worst form of injustice that happens especially in the American states. The two articles in this essay focus on ethical response that is a result of racial discrimination. Thesis There are several forms of injustices that are evident around the world. Ethical response is a non violent campaign against the injustices towards the minority group in society. This entails creating constructive tension by using non violent means to achieve freedom. Oppressors never grant the individuals they oppress freedom voluntarily. They always have to find non violent ways of getting themselves out of the bondage. This is mainly after dialogue fails to bring up the desired results. Ethical response in the two articles The first title of the first article is “Sherman Alexei’s the joy of reading & writing: Superman & me”. The writer of this article is an Indian author who resides in the Eastern Washington state. The author of this article is Sherman Alexei. Sherman learned the art of reading by making use of a superman cobic book. The family lived on a combination of government surplus food, hopes and irregular paychecks. This was a substandard form of life for the family. The father was a vivid reader, and he exposed the author to several reading materials. Because of this, the author could view everything around the world as paragraphs. The white did not expect Indian students to perform well in class work. The author overcame this form of discrimination by reading several books. This made him fight with his classmates under several occasions. The Indian children viewed as poor performers in the non Indian environment (Cohen 15-18). The second article in this essay was the product of Martin Luther king, Jr. The author was in jail in Birmingham because of parading crusades without a permit. The topic of this article is “letter from a Birmingham jail (King, Jr.). This is because of the injustices that were taking place in Birmingham. The Negroes had severe treatments especially in the courts. From both articles, the minority group’s discrimination was on the basis of their race. Both situations call for an ethical response of coming up with a solution (Cohen 203-217). Martin
Introduction Due to increased globalisation, market accessibility has become more liberal in the airline industry making it more competitive. Competition in the airline industry increases when new airlines make entry into the industry and the existing airlines expand their services into other geographical markets. Making entry into new markets is easier for existing airlines than it is for new airlines as there are many restrictions and regulations placed on new airlines by governments (Fu & Zhang, 2010). Some political issues like international trade and the tax policies in a country are also barriers to entry for an airline. The cost of acquiring an aircraft and having it operate with enough crew is very high, which means that the cost of establishing an airline is cost prohibitive to many airline companies. Short-haul airlines provide timely flights for its customers, usually businesspersons, who are keen on punctuality and are willing to pay for premium services. These airlines also provide cost-effective services by providing the same class of amenities to its customers. Although advanced technology replaces physical meetings, short-haul flights still provide the needed person-to-person business meetings. Therefore, this report analyses short-haul operations in airline industry using SWOT analysis and offers recommendations for appropriate changes. Short-haul Operations Essentially, the major determinants of major players in the airline are the safety of passengers, expediency of services, quality of services, economical consumption of fuel, security checks, and advanced technology. Therefore, short-haul airlines must ensure that they achieve these determinants so that they can compete effectively with major players in the air industry, such as Qantas and British Airways. Short-haul aircrafts can make many and quick turns in an airport unlike long-haul aircrafts that require more time after they land to turn and refuel. Again, short-haul aircrafts may require no cleaning after passengers alight as most of them can travel the whole flight without eating, whereas long-haul flights, cleaning is important as everybody has to eat or drink during the flight. Short-haul flights are made within a country or between states, unlike long haul airlines, which travel between different time zones across different continents. Different time zones cause a difference in the morning and night hours and cause long haul aircrafts to face restrictions put across for protecting the residents living near airports from noise pollution. Passengers in short-haul flights do not carry luggage as they are making short travels, while many people travelling in long-haul flights have luggage as they are going to stay in their destinations. Lack of luggage to load and off-load during travels reduces significantly the amount of time sp
The popularity of tourism increases with references to the emergence of different ways to spend holidays effectively. The opportunities of tourism become more available for the public because of the increased competition within the industry. Today, a customer has an opportunity to choose the ways to spend holidays according to their interests and possibilities, and the main task of a tourism operator is to attract more customers. During a long period of time, the distribution of brochures containing the important information about the tour and services provided by the tourism operator remained the most effective way to draw the target audience’s attention to the product and services. Producing well designed brochures, tourism operators focus on marketing strategies in order to emphasize the advantages of the product and advertise it successfully. In this case, brochures are necessary to promotion and persuading customers to choose the certain services. Thus, brochures are important for tourism operators to market their product because they are used to attract more customers, to provide the detailed information about the tour and services, to evoke the public’s interest in relation to the definite tour, to stimulate the customer’s buying behaviour, and to contribute to the effective work of a travel agent; furthermore, the effectiveness of a brochure depends on the quality of information included in it. The Purpose and Importance of Brochures The main purpose of working out a brochure is to present the information about the tourism product and services while persuading the customer to buy this product. Thus, an effective travel brochure should attract the customer and include the message which can stimulate the customer’s positive buying behaviour. According to Bhatia, “since tourism is an intangible product which cannot be pretested by the prospective consumer prior to the purchase, the brochure becomes the important channel of informing a customer about the product and also motivating him to buy the product” (Bhatia 2006, p. 247). Potential customers react to the information in brochures as on effective advertisements. That is why, a brochure should be well designed and organised. A brochure is important for all the parties participating in the process of selling-buying the product or services. Thus, a brochure is important for customers who can learn all the necessary information about the tour or hotel only with the help of a brochure. From this point, a brochure is designed for a customer. In this case, the tour operator should focus on the idea that the information and materials presented in the brochure are provided to be effective and interesting for customers. The focus on customers’ interests and needs guarantees that customers receive the information which is most appealing for them (Ivano
Central Outreach and Advocacy Center aims at offering the people in need and families the support to overcome the poverty (“Central Outreach Advocacy Center” par. 1). As well as providing helpful services such as medical assistance and solution to the legal issues, the center focuses on the engagement with God and development of the essence of faith (“Central Outreach Advocacy Center” par. 1). Reaching the unchurched people and extending the population of believers helps the religion to deliver the message about the importance of faith in the society. Designing the outreach strategy will assist Central Outreach and Advocacy Center in delivering its message to the masses while supporting the core concepts of evangelism. One of the outreach strategies is the focus on the individual characteristics of the minorities. This instrument will help enhance the ethnic diversity of the institution and attract more representatives of the minority groups (Perry 397). It underlines the availability of the service for everyone by organizing various events that encourage the multiculturalism in the society. Additionally, this matter complies with the pastor’s values, as a pastor has to be able to pay deliberate attention to the studies of the characteristics of the social clusters (Proctor 113). Lastly, the pastor has to reply with knowledge and avoid stereotyping (Proctor 113). Alternatively, the awareness of the certain ethnic groups can help organize events and holidays for the cultural exchange and improve the knowledge of evangelism. The message can be delivered via posts in the immigrant centers and social services that offer help for the people in need. A Pastor has to play a role of a leader to highlight the right prospects of faith and religion. He has to create an image of a man, who is fully aware of the concepts. Trust is the core value of the institution while attracting new individuals due to the pastor’s awareness of the external changes and the rightfulness of the decisions (Culpepper 66). “Liberation is a product of freedom”, Townes claims in support of the equality in the pastor’s values (149). Additionally, Pastor has to evaluate the political realities constantly and focus on the rights of the people (Taylor 127). Combining these characteristics will assist in the development of the trusting relationships with the members of the society. This approach can be achieved by using mass mailing and providing the quotations of the pastor’s speech to show his awareness of the social and political life of the country. The seminars and new programs that target the improvement of living standards among homeless people and overcoming poverty will have a beneficial influence. It contributes to the encouragement of a new life, as a pastor needs to have a conversation with the audience and explain to them the possibility of transformation with referral to Christ (Willimon 229). The program will focus on the desire of an individual to start a new life. Providing emotiona
Capital Projects and Problems Apple Inc. is one of the well-known companies that operate in the technological segment by providing iPhones and others. Due to Apple’s outstanding performance and worldwide recognition, Apple has been working on its development in a diversity of spheres and, now, it plans to expand its areas of operations and product lines. Thus, it will be easier to become a market leader and gain recognition in the market (AP, 2017). For example, to become recognized in the sphere of online streaming and television, it will be reasonable to acquire Netflix (AP, 2017). This acquisition will assist in becoming a market leader in this industry while having a positive impact on its development. The estimated cost of Netflix is $183.64 per share (Nasdaq, 2017). Consequently, a high investment will be required to control a substantial percentage of shares. In this instance, the estimated initial investment is $53 billion, thus, it is expected to deliver $30 billion in the recent future while incremental after-tax cash flow will account for income ($30 billion) – initial investment ($53 billion) – expenses ($3 billion) = $(26) billion. Due to this high investment, it will take several years to cover the costs related to this project, but it is still reasonable to invest in it due to its growth opportunities. The company can consider possibilities for making this acquisition, as it has relatively high market shares, cash flows, and can raise finances by using the equity method. The aspects depicted above imply that acquiring Netflix can be discovered as another sphere and product line that Apple, Inc. wants to control (AP, 2017). Nevertheless, becoming a leader in this segment is associated with a number of problems. In the first place, as it was mentioned earlier, the project requires a substantial investment, as the price per Netflix’s share remains high ($183.64) (Nasdaq, 2017). In this instance, one of the related risks is the fact that Apple can overpay for this acquisition and create unexpected financial losses. Another internal problem may be associated with the inability of the management of both companies to generate a favorable economic environment and ensure sufficient integration of two organizational cultures. This matter will create challenges for the company, as it may be discovered as a primary source of tensions and internal conflicts. This concept complies with the ideas of theories of organizational culture and management. In this instance, making this acquisition very rapidly will also lead to similar consequences, as the overall integration will be ineffective due to the issues with planning. In turn, other risks and problems may be related to politics due to the need to sign different agreements while public relations may also be viewed as a potential threat since the users of Netflix may experience discomfort when learning about this acquisition and discovering Ne
Summary Nicholas Williamson, the author, obtains a particular piece of paper containing the research work by Sig. Volta. The piece of paper was with the royal society president, Sir Joseph Banks. The author gets a story about electricity production through a series of research activities done by some skillful scientists, Mr. Volt, and Mr. Carlisle. The author and Mr. Volta seem to have conducted similar electricity production experiments, and he, the author, intended to obtain a patent right for the research before Volt (Nicholson, 1800). He wanted to seek the approval and assistance of the royal before making any publications. Unfortunately, Mr. Volta made it to the royal before him. In Volta’s letter, he explains how pieces of copper, silver, tin, or zinc are put together and covered by a moist absorbent, soaked with salty water or alkaline when in contact with each other it produces a stream of current (Nicholson, 1800). The rationale behind the functionality of this apparatus is the ability of the pieces of the collected metals to conduct electricity. According to the author, Volt learned that the metals had different electric conductivity power. Volt discovered that if zinc and silver were in contact in a moist environment, the resultant would be a stream of current. Using a condenser, Volt was able to verify that the current produced was electricity (Nicholson, 1800). The current was generating sparks on the minus side (lower side) of the apparatus. Volts also noticed that this current could shock on the event of touching the minus side of the setup. He also experimented on the effects of running steam of current on wounded skin. The outcome was a more pungent pain in the wounded area (Nicholson, 1800). According to Volt, the following factors facilitated electricity production, humidity, good conductors of electricity, and contact between the conductors. He goes ahead to conduct a series of experiments to find out how different environmental situations and materials would affect the functionality of his apparatus (Nicholson, 1800). The author’s thesis The author, Nicholson Williamson, seems to have held a hypothesis against the successful functionality of the method of electricity production. He had a strong doubt about whether galvanism could be an electrical phenomenon (Nicholson, 1800). His doubt was cleared after personally experiencing how successful Volt’s experiments were. Still, the author did some research on the disadvantage of using the method and reported a chemical phenomenon that could be a major deterrence to both large-scale performances of this experiment and long-term electricity production (Nicholson, 1800). He noticed that among the observations recorded by Fabbrino, a galvanism expert, oxidation and its effects were not many parts of his records. This chemical process is characterized by the loss of electrons. The pieces of metals and the wire used in setting up the apparatus lose electrons and form some unique chemical components. The author thinks that galvanism is still far away from being a reliable electricity production process (Nicholson

Abstract Most of the time, the achievement that learners get does not have any effect on the faculty members, not even an iota of pride. The faculty members prepare learners to face a world that often seems imaginary. Learners spend their four years in institutions of higher learning and at times are forced to drop out of the institution whenever they fail. However, the author of this speech presents a different scenario. The author illustrates the activities that faculty members go through in the course of offering education to learners. According to the text, it is evident that faculty members play a significant role especially when it comes to dealing with learners who do not understand why they are in university. The text outlines the importance of taking one’s work seriously, accepting errors, as well as working hard to earn what one wishes to have. Generally, the author outlines that outside the university life, learners are faced with several challenges that they have not been used to; challenges that if one overcomes them, they are thought of as heroes. As such, if one confronts challenges by quitting, they will likely change adversely. Critique A review of the text indicates that the author is concerned with the life of learners out of the university. As evident from the text, faculty members have a lot of experience dealing with learners. Even though they face hard times, they do little to reprimand the learners. For example, the author points out that learners at times can go past the usual, are boring, fail to honor their appointments, or even when they do not submit their work as per the deadline, the faculty members are lenient with them. Besides, the text presents a scenario whereby college life seems to be easy, and everything works for the best interest of the learners. As for the faculty members, they do everything in their capacity to ensure learners complete their studies. For instance, even if learners fail in their deadlines, the faculty members set new ones. According to the author, pretense is a common feature among faculty members. They pretend in almost everything to make sure that they accommodate the learners. Even in circumstances where the learners are dull, the faculty members assume that they are smart. Additionally, the faculty members have often been ready to listen to learners’ routine, unimaginable, as well as predictable ideas. From the foregoing, it suffices that the author presents the points about the struggle that faculty members have to go through each day of their life well. However, as it can be inferred from the text learners take little or no time at all to reflect on their life after college. This explains why they do not work to meet their deadlines or even why they are not responsible for their errors. The learner’s world is altogether forgiving one. Eventually, learners get out of college without the real idea of what life out of college is all about. If the faculty could take time to guide learners into the real picture of life after college, then they would be in a position to handle life’s challenges without quitting. Instead, the faculty confines learners within educ
