Introduction / Problem Identification Phoenix Park, the neighborhood for people with low-income, is located in one of the cities of Canada. The residents composed of immigrants and the local population mention multiple cases of property crime and street drug trade. The police response seems to be insufficient and confusing to some residents. Among other problems, there is gentrification and a lack of social responsibility from businesses entering the given area. In this connection, it becomes evident that this community needs a new crime prevention combination of strategies to improve the current situation. In particular, this paper will focus on community-based crime prevention, harm reduction strategy, crime prevention through environmental design, and the comparison of the above combined with the alternative solution, focusing on a punitive initiative. Combination of Strategies Community-Based Crime Prevention The fact that Phoenix Park residents feel confused while the police representatives work in the area, usually to arrest drug traders and other criminals, shows that there is a need to enhance the relationships between these parties. In this regard, it is safe to assume applying a community-based crime prevention strategy that implies close collaboration between the police and the community members. As argued by Kelly, Caputo, and Jamieson (2005), crime prevention through social development (CPSD) is “based on the assumption that social development is of intrinsic value” (p. 308). Such an approach recognizes the link between the social and environmental context and safer living conditions. More to the point, the identified community may be characterized as the one facing equity concerns. Since CPSD focuses on diversity awareness and sustainability development, its implementation would be beneficial in this case. In terms of the proposed community-based strategy, it is necessary to introduce specific measures, thus making it clear what should be done to reduce crime levels. First of all, due to the community-orientedness of the mentioned strategy, it is essential to explain to the residents that their reports may significantly contribute to the effectiveness of the police. The latter, in its turn, should be polite, respectful, and sensitive while communicating with the community members, so that they feel comfortable and engaged voluntarily. In other words, the community should be regarded as a tool for improvement in the framework of sustainability development (Kelly et al., 2005, p. 320). Informal social control may be a
For centuries, hydropower has been deemed as a feasible, dependable, and inexpensive source of energy. Currently, it is one of the most popular sources of renewable energy. In the United States, this form of energy constitutes 13% of the electric power. However, in the Latin America hydropower constitutes up to 70% of the electric power (Currie, 2011). Environmental experts argue that the world’s hydroelectric power ventures avoid the emissions of up to a billion tons of greenhouse gases yearly. Despite its usefulness, critics argue that hydropower is not a true renewable source of energy and that its use results in numerous environmental issues. As such, critics assert that in the future this form of hydropower would not be reliable and should be discarded for other sources of renewable energy. This article focuses on why I believe hydropower would not be feasible in the future. In the recent past, the use of hydropower has attracted heated debates. More studies have revealed that development of hydropower projects has resulted in environmental issues. The studies suggest that if hydropower is given more attention in the future, humans might not be ready to solve the social, economic, health, and environmental impacts of these projects (Førsund, 2007). With an increase in the effects of global warming, hydropower has been unsustainable in nations where frequent droughts affect power production. For instance, global warming effects have increased the frequency of droughts and reduced the volume of water in major rivers that run the hydropower plants. Because of these, blackouts and interruptions in power have become common phenomena in the affected countries such as Ghana and India. For a dam to be developed, a huge reservoir should be put in place. When these reservoirs are flooded, animals and people depending on the flooded land are displaced. Usually, when individuals are displaced from their lands social conflicts arise (Draper, 2003). Studies have shown that most of those displaced are not willing to be relocated. For instance, the Three Gorges Dam project in Asia attracted many disagreements owing to the number of residents who were relocated to give room for the reservoir. The international media estimated that up to 4 million residents were relocated (Currie, 2011). Tester, Drake, Drscoll, Golay, & Peters (2012) found that the construction of new hydroelectric plants could also have a negative impact on the ecosystem. When a new dam is constructed, the migration of fishes is thwarted. Similarly, the creation of dams can result in the depletion of oxygen in the river waters affecting on the aquatic life. For instance, the creation of dams across rivers in the Pacific Northwest in America has had a negative impact on salmon populations. Annually, millions of salmon migrate upstream to reproduce. However, with the creation of dams in their migratory paths their population has been lowered. Recent studies have refuted the claims that hydropower is clean. These studies have indi
For this paper, I have selected the following two paintings: Painting 1   * Name of the painting: Paris Street, Rainy Day   * Artist: Gustav Caillebotte   * Year: 1877   * Type: Oil on canvas   * Size: 212.2 – 276.2 cm The painting, “Paris Street, Rainy Day,” was painted by the French painter, Gustav Caillebotte, in the year 1877. Caillebotte was from the Impressionist period. He was very much fascinated by photography, and this fascination can be easily noticed in his paintings. Due to this aspect, he believed to be a realistic painter. “Paris Street, Rainy Day,” is a modernistic painting where Caillebotte tries to depict the economic and social conditions prevailing in the industrialized nations (this particular painting depicts a street in Paris) during the 19th century. In all his paintings and particularly this one, Caillebotte gives great importance to the clarity of the minutest details. The contemporaries of Caillebotte depicted the leisure and fun that people had during that period. But Caillebotte depicts the other side of modernity. In this painting, people are shown enjoying the rainy season. But unfortunately, Caillebotte probably forgot to include the rain in this painting, though the streets seem to be wet that allows the viewer to understand that the rains had just stopped. In this painting, the artist has used a combination of blue, green, black, white, and yellow colors. The pedestrians are shown neatly dressed, holding umbrellas. The reflection of the people and even the lamp-post makes us understand that the surface is still wet. The artist, by way of this painting, wants to suggest that during the 19th century, women were not allowed too much freedom. “Women thus had very little freedom of movement within the public sphere despite more opportunities of stepping out of their domestic boundaries” (Juan 8). Painting 2   * Name of the painting: The Card Players   * Artist: Paul Cézanne   * Year: 1893-96   * Type: Oil on canvas   * Size: 47 – 56 cm The painting, “The Card Players,” was painted by the renowned artist Paul Cézanne during the period 1893 – 1896. The painting shows two people engrossed in playing cards. The work of art is very simple, but Cézanne has been able to establish the expressions on the faces of the two players. One of the players is smoking a pipe, but unfortunately, the artist probably forgot to show the smoke. Besides laying stress on the two men, the artist has also highlighted a bottle that is kept on the table. Cézanne used a combination of brown, yellow, white, and black colors. Cézanne wanted to depict still a human life, and accordin
Summary Studying many academic subjects in the early preschool years is a sound strategy for supporting any child’s early development. It is common knowledge that the earlier a child begins to learn, the easier it will be for them to absorb new knowledge in school (Louis, 2018). That said, of the incredible variety of subjects studied, math is considered one of those foundations that should always be present in a preschooler’s curriculum. The Importance of Learning Math There are many benefits to a child from learning math early. First of all, it allows you to immediately show how varied the learning process can be, which will help your child choose the most exciting areas of knowledge. Secondly, mathematics allows for systematic structuring of thinking so that it is precise, analytical, and logical. People who know math are more likely to have critical thinking (Jablonka, 2020). Finally, early learning of math can be meaningful in terms of pre-kindergarten preparation for school. At the pre-K-3 stage, your child should not yet be an expert in arithmetic or number operations, but they will do well in school if they are. The Choice of Methodology There is an important pedagogical problem in choosing the most effective methods that will be useful for young children (pre-K-3 level). In particular, one has to take into account the relatively young age of the children, since most of them are not even four years old. Thus, the audience for learning mathematics is still very young, and therefore the choice of methods is a particular challenge. Nevertheless, modern pedagogy is advanced enough to offer the professional teacher a range of techniques and practices that have already been shown to be sufficiently effective for early learning. First and foremost, any methods of learning mathematics at this age should use a tangible signal that will allow toddlers to form their own associative connections. Suggested Method #1 As an obvious signal, a verbal countdown can be used, which the teacher pronounces each time they perform a task. This method offers several valuable advantages. First of all, students hear a sequence of numbers and thus learn arithmetic, even without yet knowing what lies behind the words. Second, the teacher’s counting structures and disciplines students so that they perform the task only as needed. Finally, the frequent use of counting creates a supportive environment in which kids are exposed to numbers every day, which means the rate of learning should increase. Suggested Method #2 A second competent strategy for learning math is to count objects done individually or cooperatively. More specifically, the child uses a physical object, be it a cube, balls, or toys, as a tangible cue. By counting the number of such toys, the child independently associates the real thing with an abstract number, making it easier to understand the nature of arithmetic. It is essential to specify that counting can be done both verbally (for more advanced students) and on the fingers, associating one object with one toddler’s finger. Use of Standards Therefore, the methods used should be based on the child’s nee
Patient X is a 66-year-old male adult who resides in Dublin. He divorced his wife five years ago and is currently living alone. Mr. X is also a father of two children – a boy and a girl. Both of his children are married and currently reside away from home. Mr. X is a farmer dealing in rearing beef cattle. He is also a former military personnel who fought in many battles during his younger years. Mr. X suffers from hypertension and diabetes mellitus and receives treatment from a local hospital. The data collection method that would be used to gather the relevant information is interviewing patient X utilizing a prepared questionnaire. It is essential that the survey is analyzed using clear and straightforward language since it will ensure that the patient has a clear comprehension of the questions for accurate responses. Psychological Needs of the Elderly Individuals at the old age stage of life have several needs concerning their deteriorating health and mental concerns. According to the developmental stages by Erik Erikson, the elderly phase in life is linked with crises over integrity vs. despair (Antypas and Kirkevold, 2020). A sense of fulfillment and accomplishment is felt by those people who believe that they had a significant positive impact on the world. On the other hand, people who feel that they did not realize their potential tend to have despair. Erickson argued that the less desirable goals during the developmental stages manifest themselves in people who do not feel a sense of accomplishment (Antypas and Kirkevold, 2020). For instance, geriatrics may have a mistrust of their judgment (trust vs. mistrust) or have self-doubt about their abilities compared to others (industry vs. inferiority) (Antypas and Kirkevold, 2020). Therefore, the needs among older adults emerge from the unaccomplished goals during development phases and may include a requirement for intimacy and support in meeting their physiological needs. Furthermore, aging adults require a sense of love and belonging. Most individuals have experienced losing their close people at this stage of life through deaths and separation or divorce. Therefore, the elderly are in need of a sense of love and belonging from their friends and family members. Moreover, according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, senior adults want to feel respected by their peers, have self-confidence, and be accepted by others. Old age is when the elderly tend to feel accomplished to achieve their self-esteem needs (Gudynas, 2019). Finally, the fulfillment of the geriatrics’ self-actualization needs relates to having a satisfactory feeling. Old age is the pinnacle of life, the elderly look back on their lives and assess whether they have accomplished their goals to achieve personal fulfillment. Strategies for Meeting the Needs of the Elderly Family Support Various stakeholders in society have essential roles in ensuring that older adults attain their needs. First, family members should help the aged meet their physiological needs including food,
Introduction The American history of the 18th century saw a plethora of grief examples of the suppression of African-Americans where white people dominated and exploited the Blacks. This confrontation between races is based on the prejudiced attitude to the otherness of people leading to inferior relations (Loomba 104). The memory about the violence did not let slaves live in reality but to in the world of allusion that could give them at least the minor hope to live in a better world (Toufic 7). Still, the past cannot be forgotten, as it is perpetuated in the deeds and feelings, which were brightly perceived in the novel Beloved by Morrison and in the art world of Kara Walker visualizing the history of ongoing repressions and eternal confrontation between the whites and the blacks. The representation of “memories” in Morrison’s Beloved Morrison’s literary work, the main protagonist Sethe, a former slave, escapes from slavery and repressions and tries to build a new life and a new reality deprived of the past. However, she is constantly haunted by the voice of “memories” that hamper and destroys her present. By this, the author emphasizes the
Introduction This paper analyses the vents that happened at My Lai village and why it could have been prevented had the US army followed the principles of war. The paper starts by looking at what really happened and then proceeds to analyze whether the killings could indeed have been prevented. Many will remember the My Lai massacre as one of the most shocking events of the world and can be described as one of the most infamous events in the history of Vietnam War (Bilton and Siam, 1992). This war took place on March in 1968 in the village of My Lai which had approximately 700 people, located in the southeast of the United State base of Danang (Bilton and Siam, 1992). It is in this village that innocent people were killed on that date by the US Army while they were in search of rebels. The question then becomes whether this attack on innocent people was justified; the first part of this paper discusses what happened and the US army conducts at that particular time and is a synopsis of the events of that fateful day. The second part of the discussion looks at whether the principles of war were adhered to and examines whether these deaths would have been prevented had the rules of engagement been followed (Bilton and Siam, 1992) The events at My Lai The US troops conduct during that time was incredible and least expected and the outcomes of that day have left many people dumbfounded. The morning of March 16 th saw three platoons of US troops from C Company of the eleventh Brigade arrive in the Son My area (Bilton and Siam, 1992). The Platoon which was commanded by Lieutenant William Calley was on a search and destroy mission that was directed on My Lai village with the sole aim of finding members of the NLF popularly described as Vietcong (Bilton and Siam, 1992). The reason for directing the operation on that village is because the area had in the recent past been very active with the Vietcong rebels. As the Platoon troop advanced through the village they started firing towards the village and instantly killed innocent civilians mainly women, children and the elderly who had at the time gone to the paddy fields to carry out their daily chores. By then, Sergeant Michael Bernhardt, 1973 who was at My Lai said that he saw no one who could have been of military age and went on to say that “the US troops in My Lai met no resistance from the villagers” (Bilton and Siam
Scope Statement Mission Statement The main purpose of the project is to increase patient wellbeing through the fashioning of modernized sepsis collaboration between healthcare professionals. Information technology and its role within a clinical setting has gradually heightened over the years, allowing both nurses, doctors, and even patients, unparalleled health care opportunities (Wyatt & Stephens, 2017). The establishment of a computerized sepsis procedure, thus, not only continues an existing trend in nursing informatics but also creates favorable circumstances for the professional growth of healthcare specialists and supportive conditions for patients’ health. Measureable Project Objectives For a successful evaluation of the project results, it is necessary to outline coherent and quantifiable targets. The metrics below were summarized by use of the proposed by Sipes (2016) activity aides, which are comprised of “the five “W” questions of who, what, where, when, why and an “H,” how” (p. 42). This 5 W’s and 1 H approach allowed efficiently outlining and objectifying previously undocumented project objectives, further developing the scope of the plan. The plan will be used by and directly affect the working routine of healthcare professionals, aiding them through a reduction of paperwork creation and retrieval time in life-threatening cases. An increase in patient healthcare quality will additionally be made possible through the fashioning of a digital sepsis protocol that will facilitate communication during patient treatment between doctors, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. The computerization project will be carried out within Northwell Health with affected stakeholders’ input allowing for an efficient staff-and-patient orienteered approach to a reduction in the paper trail (DuBois, Koch, Hanlon, Nyatuga, & Kerr, 2015). The duration of the undertaking will be defined per the learning outcome deadlines and with the guidance of the project manager. The cause for the project stems from the lack of a modernized sepsis protocol, as well as from the wish of a quality increase in patient well-being and staff employment satisfaction. Through the creation of accessible software and its implementation through teamwork in Northwell Health, the project will be brought to fruition. Justification of Project The primary goal of the project lies in the bettering of health care quality provided through the identification of complication-inducing practices within the hospital system. The time spent by nurses on paper-based documentation has been identified as detrimental to their opportunity to interact directly with the patients and subsequently aiding them in the recovery process (Clynch & Kellett, 2015). Since the treatment process includes both creation and retrieval of paperwork, the establishment of an equally available to all involved healthcare professionals computerized sepsis protocol aligns with the benefits of shared medical data (Wyatt & Stephens, 2017). An
Introduction The company under consideration in this paper is the Cheesecake Factory. As a matter of fact, it is considered to be a popular and famous restaurant in the United States. The majority of restaurants are located close to big cities. The reason why a lot of people across the United States like the restaurant are that the portions are bigger than in other cafés of such types and the menu offers visitors a variety of meals. The Cheesecake Factory realizes the significance of hiring only the most professional and highly qualified workers to provide the visitors with an outstanding service combined with reasonable prices. It should be stated that the company is orientated to the market of North America, and thus, the enterprise does not enjoy great popularity on the global level. The primary purpose of the paper is to identify the business strategy of the company, conduct SWOT, functional, and PEST analysis, discover Porter’s Five Forces, analyze the company’s stock and share value during the period of one year, and offer a solution to potential future strategic issues of the Cheesecake Factory. Corporate and Business Strategy The Cheesecake Factory is a competitive business in the United States that has already taken advantage of the rivals. However, the question arises, what stimulated the success of the company? The answer to this question is hidden in the dimension of the quality of the restaurant and its business strategy. First and foremost, it is of paramount importance to note that the enterprise understands the significance of innovations and flexibility in order to adjust to the current market and customer’s needs. The preferences of the customers are changing with dramatic speed, and thus, in order to stay popular and competitive, the managers implement marketing techniques and approach as well as dedicate a lot of time to the market research. The pivotal role in marketing and business strategies is dedicated to the advertisement. The promotion of the product plays a fundamental and crucial role in providing innovations to the target group of the restaurant. The advertisement of the company is seen as a tool to enhance the traffic of the customers (visitors, who make transactions in the café). The company has already developed an advertising strategy in order to stay competitive. There are four aspects that are believed to be under consideration of the company, among them are the following ones, namely:  1. Reputation;  2. Location;  3. World of mouth;  4. Social media. Understanding the importance of modern technologies and the digital world, the company communicates with the customers due to social media. Public relations are seen as a tool to reach personal goals and objectives (the popularity of the restaurant, an increase of
