Professionalism is regarded as an essential element in the field of pharmacy. Even though the term professionalism has been widely applied in everyday’s undertakings, it is ideally true that not everyone understands the meaning of the term. In fact, a majority merely believe that being professional implies having the general good manners, being ethical, polite, dressing neatly and portraying the expected behaviors at workplace. However, such attributes might constitute professionalism, but a professional pharmacist should embrace more than just the listed traits. Most pharmacy schools tend to prepare their students for the basic professional experience edification through holding white coat ceremonies to denote the imagery behind the worn uniform. In healthcare, to colleagues and even to the patients who seek medication, the white coat that pharmacists put on is a major symbol signifying that whoever wears it, should always act in a professional way. Professionalism in pharmacy entails a lot. For instance, in response to the ever-expanding public demand for the pharmaceutical products, care, and services, professionalism in this particular field of healthcare practice involves neatly putting on the professional attire to gain the patients trust, assuming the accountability for the drug therapy results as well as the proficient, precise and safe supply of any pharmaceutical products. Besides, a professional must always be willing to actively care for the patients. Being patient-centered and much focused will enable a pharmacist to be the patients’ advocates by showing commitments in all aspects. For example, true professionals often yearn to achieve the best therapeutic results, aspire to attain advanced skills and knowledge in clinical medicine, represents their patients in the law courts and above all, develop traits that does not just make pharmacy an ordained occupation but also a dignified profession. Well nurtured behaviors, ethics and attitudes such as proper timekeeping, flexibility, commitment, sociability, diligence, lenience alongside sincerity and responsibility constitute the backbone of pharmaceutical professionalism. Most characteristics of professionalism are rarely obtained or learnt from textbooks, tutorials and lectures, but they can be enthusiastically obtained and instilled via professional socialization practice. Furthermore, professionalism in pharmacy necessitates constant attention, leadership, service orientation, covenantal association with the patient and principled sound decision making. In essence, to portray critical elements of profes
Introduction In an attempt to study how people inter-relate with all societal platforms, it is perhaps important to investigate how they form simple relationships such as friendship and family ties. Through the revision of these forms of relationships, an opportunity of analyzing the interconnection between people’s relationships within the individual and civic domains emerges. Understanding how people form loose relationships helps in addressing looser relationships such as civic links. This paper has three objectives. First, it discusses Aristotle’s notion of civic relationships. Second, it discusses the notions of best work practices. Lastly, it compares and contrasts these two notions. Aristotle’s Ideas on Civic Relationships Civic relationships differ from other forms of friendships among people in society. Even though there lacks scholarly agreement on the precise definition of a civic relationship, Bostock maintains, “It should characterize the way that persons interact with each other in the public sphere” (25). For such a relationship to have any meaning, it also needs to possess friendship interconnectedness and civic dimensions. Civic qualities involve the desire to take part in the public sphere. They underline the agenda that one has as a citizen. However, it does not equal to being a national figure, although it provides a mechanism of explaining how citizens unite at a civic position. The term ‘civic’ stands for a different type of relationship, apart from an individual or personal relationship and political or public realm relationships. The manner in which people conduct themselves (how they form and establish civic relationships) defines their effectiveness in workplaces. Therefore, the best practices at workplaces remain an important aspect of defining or providing channels for establishing working civic relationships at workplaces. The idea of best practices at work stems from Aristotle’s perceptions and ideas on civic relationships. Aristotle believes that individual’s and civic companionship or friendships are interconnected. He emphasizes the necessity of this interconnection while insisting that such close associations are fundamental aspects of prosperous human living. Civic friendship constitutes all critical aspects of human good (Bostock 27). According to Bostock, Aristotle believes that civic friendships serve the principal function of “assisting to sustain the performance, regulation and conferring fairness in the state, but furthermore to make likely the cultivation of individual friendships that are founded on virtue” (29). To reinforce these roles, a personal acquaintance that is built on the platform of merits helps in terms of aligning and mitigating the likelihood of interference and/or state dishonesty. When people perceive themselves as good civic associates, they can have the ability to come into agreement with broad-based issues that are anchored on the pillars of good public engagement principles, especially on crucial aspects of collective advant
Introduction Considering various different types of communication in a business environment or generally in a work place, these types at times exist in the form that, some are more effective as compared to others. These forms of communication include face-to-face communication, spoken communication, electronically transmitted which includes telephone or voicemail, personally addressed written communication these are personal messages, and impersonal written communication considered as impersonal messages. Principally, this communication brings about the taste and need to communicate amongst the members of an organization for mutual interactions within the the organization as a whole. There is a need to get to learn proper communication to develop oneself on how to relate with others to sail in the same track in life. More so, the most important thing one has to do in business is to learn how to solve problems and make decisions, maybe personally and with other people. Informative message Essentially, in the business world, communication is very vital to many as to who should receive the message. This therefore, considers communication as vital in relations and it is thus a very important element, which ought to have more consideration. So considering the approach to which one communicates determines a lot on the density of the message conveyed, which may have positive as well as negative impacts to the recipients. For example, if there is a need to communicate something that is showing a sign of negative impact, there is a need to employ the use of a positive manner in which the message communicated no alarm to recipient (Guffey & Almonte, 2007). Therefore, we at times witness some characters whose work is to discourage their adversities generally by focusing on their less fortunate side of life and their character. Such ways of communication may be fatiguing because of their negative impacts in communication, hence there is a need for positive ways of conveying a message to the audience. The choices of words in the communication determine the kind of communicated message, either positive or negative. For example, considering some of the reply letters from some organizations may have at times very discouraging choice of words that the audience may receive, thus causing lack of interest for future needs. While some of these replies may sound polite they are very negative as may include negative words like cannot and neglected, which implies that the recipient is the one to blame. On contrast to some of these messages, it should encourage the recipient in a positive manner showing him/her the criterion to use. Maybe by encouraging the audience, whil
This paper dwells upon major training techniques. Central characteristics are pointed out. Main advantages and disadvantages of the techniques are also identified. The brief analysis of the major training methods helps come to a very valuable conclusion. Thus, each training technique is aimed at specific goals and each of the methods should be used in particular settings. More importantly, human resource professionals should combine several (or all of the) training techniques to help employees develop and properly function within the organization. Training is one of the major constituent parts of human resource management. HR professionals are equipped with a variety of training methods which help employees adjust to a specific environment. These methods are used in different settings and they are also aimed at different goals. One of the most widespread techniques is on the job training. Employees are exposed to the particular working settings (Ivancevich & Konopaske, 2012). They start doing their job at once without additional theoretical assistance. This method is successful when major aspects of the tasks have been taught and the employee has a chance to apply this knowledge. This minimizes training time as the employee is exposed to various issues which he/she is trying to handle. Another effective method that helps employees get ready for specific issues is the case method. Employees discuss specific cases which are concerned with major issues. These issues are often concerned with OSHA regulations as about 16% of workplaces are characterized as places with high rate of accidents (Ivancevich & Konopaske, 2012). The method is efficient as employees discuss the most serious cases and develop strategies to address specific issues which can potentially happen in any workplace. Role playing also helps employees address particular issues and develop certain strategies to act properly in different situations. In pairs or in groups, employees act out different situations. Again, this can involve practicing scenarios related to safety issues (Burke & Hutchins, 2007). However, this method is also effective to develop proper behavioral patterns in a variety of settings (team work, risk management, strategic planning, etc.). In-basket tech is similar to role playing, but it is more elaborate. Thus, an employee is given a specific role (description of the situation and position within the company) and a set of materials (memos, reports, etc.) to facilitate the employee’s decision-making (Ivancevich & Konopaske, 2012). This is an effective method as employees are trained to make right decisions (they are able to evaluate decision
Dangers Associated with Nuclear Weapon Terrorists One of the main dangers associated with the use and spread of nuclear weapons is its availability to terrorist groups. Terrorist attacks happen more and more frequently, but if these groups possess nuclear weapons, the consequences of such attacks will be much more severe compared to the biggest assaults during the previous years. Thus, the main concerns for states become not terrorist acts per se but those where actors can move from conventional to nuclear explosives (Doyle, 2013). No Effective Restraining Strategies Whereas during the Cold War only two major nuclear powers were competing, the current situation is, from a particular perspective, much more dangerous, since approximately ten countries are currently in possession of nuclear powers (declared or undeclared). However, former and current deterrence strategies are not as effective as states and other interested actors would want them to be ( Nuclear Tipping Point 2011). As Doyle (2013) points out, declassified documents from the Cold War-era indicate that nuclear catastrophe was avoided not by strategic actions but rather luck or a set of random events. The current form of deterrence, where the acquisition of nuclear warheads is explained as a tool for restraining other nuclear states from using the weapon, does not decrease the chance of an accidental or intentional launch. Furthermore, economic sanctions also do not help in deterrence, as they have not stopped North Korea from acquiring (as it states) nuclear weapons. Materials Scattered Around the World Materials for weapon creation are not stored in one place and one state; instead, these are scattered around the world and can be purchased or stolen by interested actors. It does not mean that it is easy to create a nuclear warhead, but the availability of materials significantly increases the chance of terrorist groups acquiring a nuclear warhead. Destruction of Infrastructure, Social and Economic Structure As pointed out in the video, the launch of nuclear weapons will lead to severe consequences: the destruction of houses, hospitals, roads, bridges, entire infrastructures of cities ( Nuclear Tipping Point 2011). Social and economic structures of the impacted cou
Art is the effective use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others (Kilgallen para. 6). One arranges work in such a manner that will capture, influence and affect one or more senses, emotions and intellect (Kilgallen para. 2). Art is made up of a wide range of modes of expressions, creations, and human activities. They include photography, paintings, film, literature, and music. Design is an area of human experience, skill and knowledge which is concerned with the ability of one to mould the environment to suit a desired need. Depending on the art and design work done, a person is likely to be impressed by the work. Art is meant to capture the readers mind and emotions (Kilgallen para. 4). Art and design is supposed to bring or facilitate the intuitive of a person rather than the rational understanding (Kilgallen 6). Art has many specific categories whereby each is related to its technique and medium. Examples of arts are: decorative arts, performing arts, plastic arts and literature. Art and design is primarily dependent on personal opinion (Kilgallen 21). For instance, what would be pleasing to my eyes would not attract another person’s sense of sight and mind. In my opinion, a good work of art is supposed to show some skill, create meaning and also show a high degree of creativity. Analysis of the work of art from the source website is as follows. First, the arts show a high level of creativity. The images depict a strong form of creativity since in the process of the art work it shows there was a cognitive approach that describes the thought technique. The images too show a measure of creativity since it is evident there was a background skill of how things look like (Kilgallen 2). For instance, the drawing of the tree seems to be an original art work due to the fact that the tree has green leaves and the rest of the images show simplicity since they graphically describe the natural life of people (Kilgallen 3). This is evident in the drawing of a person who is sure, stubborn, and yet, proud. This shows a high level of creativity. These drawings express original record of action since they seem not to have been drawn using anything mechanical. The drawings are purely handmade and they show that the artist spent a lot of time to come up with these drawings. The artist took all the time to come up with these drawing and to further express the feeling to other people (Kilgallen 23). In my own opinion, the drawings are excellent since they are not flat but have great content. The artist should have been influenced by the fact that most drawings found in books and libr
Introduction The theoretical work contributed to the relation between companies within a business alliance has established the most general aspect of the structural and the relational perspectives of such collaborations. This paper addresses the analysis of the article “Towards an Integrative Perspective on Alliance Governance” by Dries Faems et al. in regards to the article’s developed perspective on alliance governance. Key Arguments The main idea of the article is outlining that previous studies in regards of the forming alliances propose limited perspective of a successful collaboration. The case study provided within the article emphasizes this assumption by demonstrating that the structural and relational aspects within a transaction provide difficulties in companies’ business partnership when approached separately. By showing an example of two alliances of the same companies with different relational and structural approaches, the article emphasizes the mistakes and the efficiency decline resulted from maintaining both approaches independently and without proper integration. In that sense, the article states that “structural and relational aspects are inherently linked and mutually influence each other, both within and between transactions “ (Faems et al. 2008, p. 43). Based on the concluded statement, the article provided a conceptual framework model based on which the relation between each aspect were analyzed to establish the degree of influence on the business process within the alliance. Theoretical Contribution The findings presented in the article can imply a new theoretical perspective on the way the application of structural elements could be connected to relational processes. Regarding the connection between structural design and relational dynamics within the transaction the article states that trust dynamics based on contracts with similar degree of contractual formalization, depends on “on the extent to which the nature of contractual formalization reflects the nature of the alliance activities” (Faems et al. 2008, p. 39) In that model the article contracts are governance mechanism, whereas goodwill trust is merely a condition that determines the way these contracts are applied. In regards to the connection between structural design and relational dynamics within the transaction, the article argues that mutual interdependence and competence trust could be “more important conditions fo
Part A- Product Abu Dhabi Government Logo Car Badge is a car emblem that is considered a decoration for a car. The product is attached at the front end of the bonnet, near the number plate, or at the back of the car. It is not a mandatory requirement for one to attach the emblem, but it is considered a decoration. It is metallic and has the government logo on it. The price for this product would be set at AED 21.99, inclusive of the value-added tax (VAT). When determining this price, the company uses internet resources to determine the average market price. Kelley, Jugenheimer, and Sheehan (2015) advise that when setting a price for a given product, it is necessary to determine what other companies are charging. The price should not be significantly below the market average because it may be viewed as a substandard product. At the same time, it should not be significantly above average because it may become unaffordable to the majority. Mohamed Ali, a government officer who uses his own car for most of his official duties, is the best candidate for this product. Ali is a male Arab who lives in Abu Dhabi and works with the General Revenue Department. He is a tax compliance officer responsible for tracking down businesspersons who are keen on evading tax. He uses his private car on most occasions to avoid being detected by his suspects. He would need this emblem as a sign of authority when undertaking his official duties. The emblem may act as a reminder to the people who he engages that he has the mandate to review their tax compliance records. When identifying a potential buyer for this product, it is important to determine whether there are specific biographic, geographic, or psychographic (attitudes, values, and lifestyle), which can connect this buyer to the item the company is selling. Given that the sales representative has been interacting with the client for some time, the lifestyle shows that he is the best candidate for this product. Ali likes to demonstrate his authority as a government officer, and anything that would confirm the same is always welcome. The fact that sometimes he cannot use official government cars when on investigative missions makes it necessary to have the emblem on his car. It helps reinforce his authority when handling the suspects. It has also been established that Ali values everything that symbolizes national unity. An
Introduction In the future paper, I would like to examine political and economic concerns in Iraq. In particular, it is to discuss the relationship between political stability in this country and the stagnation of the economy. They will be regarded as inter-dependent variables. In order to illustrate my arguments, I will discuss the violent attacks that occurred in Baghdad on March 19, 2013. One should discuss the causes and consequences of this event. The findings of this analysis can be helpful for explaining the challenges that the Iraqi society currently faces. The main causes of the event While examining the causes of this event, I will focus on two factors. First of all, much attention should be paid the problem of corruption. It should be taken into account that at the moment, the Iraqi politicians are among the most corrupt ones in the Middle East. This issue is a significant barrier that prevents the growth of businesses and lowers the conditions of living in the country. So, it leads to the discontent of many citizens and protests that can often be violent. It should be taken into account that this country is torn by different the representative of various political and religious factions. In order to illustrate this issue, I will focus on the attacks that took place on March 19. In this case, one should focus on the bombings and violent demonstrations that were aimed against the current Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki. Consequences This event is important for my discussion because it suggests that economic development is closely related to the political situation in the country. The problem is that Iraq economy fails to achieve sufficient growth because of the insurgencies that took place in the March of 2013. Many local entrepreneurs can be afraid of starting their operations in the country since they do not know whether their rights will be protected by the state. Furthermore, this instability deprives the country from the access to the international capital. So, the relations between economic and political life will be the most important part of the paper. Sources While writing the paper, I may use various sources such as academic books and peer-reviewed articles that examine the political and economic development of the post-war Iraq. Furthermore, I will have to incorporate some of the recent newspaper reports in order to tell more about the bombings and shootings which occurred on March 19, 2013. Conclusion and the main theme In my opinion, this approach is helpful for understanding the political and economic co
