Aim and Thesis This research paper aims to explore Napoleon’s strategies and tactics, which he employed throughout his military campaigns to defeat his enemies and conquer other empires when he ruled the French empire between 1779 and 1821. The thesis of the research paper examines critically the effectiveness of Napoleon’s military strategies and tactics, which he used during his reign as a powerful emperor of France and an army commander. General Outline This paper delves into military experiences of Napoleon and tries to unravel why his strategies are valid in teaching military students of this tremendous technological era. Since many commanders of his time acknowledged and credited him as a military genius, then, how effective were his military strategies. The effectiveness of his military and leadership tactics is evident in the way he managed to lead the French empire, mobilized his armies, and conquered many territories. Napoleon employed a strategy of dividing his enemies and forming strategic alliances to conquer his enemies with much ease. The uniqueness of Napoleon is that he had already discovered in his time the current application of professional military skills and logistics in his strategies and tactics. Professional skills and logistics are the present pillars of a military that guarantee victory when optimally utilized. To overcome his battles, he interrupted the logistics of his enemies to weaken them. Even though Napoleon considered himself as a great commander, he never underestimated the danger posed by the enemies, even the weakest of them all. At all times Napoleon took precaution and responded rapidly to any threatening enemy. When combating his enemies on the battlefield, Napoleon employed central position approach and indirect approach. These two approaches enabled him to seize the local superiority to control and manipulate the enemy on the battlefield. Moreover, Napoleon utilized Battalion square strategy to combat his enemies. This strategy enhanced his ability to mobilize his armies and troops effectively in fighting powerful forces of Russia, which defeated him. He also applied his five military principles that enabled him to use his troops economically as concerted military efforts focused on the enemy were quite effective. Introduction Napoleon was the great Emperor of France with novel military strategies and tactics that enabled him to conquer his enemies and neighboring empires in a bid to expand his territory. His determination to win battles came from his confession that “there is no man more pusillanimous than I when I am planning a campaign. I purposely exag
Social diversity is a characteristic that can be used to enhance human survival but also if the wrong approach is applied it could be detrimental. The health department can be in a position to provide better services to the public are the issue of diversity is addressed. Diversity means respecting and valuing the difference in people. These differences can be in cultural beliefs, religion, and ethical among others. The health care system is responsible for devising mechanism through which patients can receive medical care without their rights being infringed. Equality and human rights for instance are very important aspects in social diversity. This paper will be discussing the issues of social concerns in relation to the health profession especially equality, diversity and human rights issues. Equality mean treating human beings as equals without discriminating based on any personal characteristics. There are different characteristics that are protected as provided for in the Equality act [2010] (Duke, 2011). They include age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, race, religion, gender reassignment, marriage and partnership, as well as pregnancy and maternity (Martino, and Pallotta-Chiarolli, 2003). Equality is a duty to all public providers and the department of health must be in the forefront to defend the rights of patients as well as its employees. A productive health care system must be able to provide its services in an equitable manner as required by law. Recognizing this fact, the health practitioners therefore must acknowledge and appreciate the diversity of a population in order to provide equitable services. Equity can be achieved in a health system that acknowledges the diversity of the population respecting the expectations and needs of the patients, the staff and the services as a whole (Emmett, and Alant, 2006). In the recent past, the department of health has been keen on the issues of equality in the department of health (Emmett, and Alant, 2006). The department has been keen to seal all the loopholes that provide access to unequal access and outcomes experiences to some sections of the community. The department has been working to ensure the principles and practicalities of fairness and equality are achieved (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2007). To achieve this, human rights must play a very crucial and fundamental role should be integrated in the department of health. Multiculturalism is the promotion of ethnic diversity and multiple ethnic cultures (Emmett, and Alant, 2006). In the health, depart of health; this is a very crucial aspect to consider when dealing with patients as well as he staff. For the purposes of effectiveness, the health department must seek to integr
In order to conduct the investigation based on the known Piaget experiments, one child is chosen. For the purpose of confidentiality, the name of this child is changed to Jenny. She is a five-year-old girl, the elder one among her two brothers. There are only two people in this room: the girl herself, and me, an observer and experimenter. It is the afternoon of Saturday, May 16, 2009. The experiment does not take much time, as the girl demonstrates her interest and desire to communicate with a new person. The very experiment takes about 30 – 40 minutes. Before the experiment, her parents told that she could easy talk with unknown people, but only being in her room; this is why the place for this observation was obvious – Jenny’s room. The first experiment is connected with conservation of volume. Piaget tells a lot about the abilities of children of five and six years and admits that their abilities to conserve are not perfectly developed. “Their thought processes are dominated by the appearances of things, and they do not realize that the volume of an object may not change just because the appearance changes.” (Hobart, 155) Piaget points out that children at this age use rather primitive reasoning to answer any question and are not able to follow and think about the actions other people do. This is why Jenny does not pay attention to the volume of water, compare the forms of the glasses, or concentrate on the level of water; all she does is make conclusion visually. Jenny sees two absolutely identical glasses of water. I ask her which glass has more water; she surely answers that none, as both of them has the same volume of water. I take another, thinner and taller glass and pour water of one glass to it. The girl smiles and admits that now, there is more water in the thinner glass. I ask her to explain why she thinks so; her answer is rather clear, because the second glass is taller. The second experiment lies in conservation of mass. I present two equal balls of clay and ask her whether they are of the same shape. The girl touches both of them in order to play a bit and puts them on the table. In several seconds, she admits that they are of the same size. However, when I roll one of them and change its form into the shape of a sausage, the child looks at them attentively and tells that the sausage is bigger than a ball because it takes more place on the table. Jenny does not take into consideration that the sausage was made of the same material, get them up in order to find out which one is harder, or pay attention that nothing is added or deleted, and, finally, she does concentrate only on its general view. This experiment, as the previous one, proves the facts, offered by Piaget: a child at the age of 5 is disable to analyze the
From the readings, the following ideas and lessons can be derived. First, the mother’s house labor permits the provider, the husband, to labor, letting the woman undertake domestic duties such as food preparation, utensil washing, courtyard and home maintenance, and child care (Mosca et al., 2021). Thus, the societal predisposition and notion that women are lesser in the community should be abandoned, and greater emphasis should be placed on the critical functions they perform in the household. Additionally, notwithstanding the uncertainties, parents and guardians may transition from dread to meaning by intending to function as committed stakeholders in their children’s education. Second, while partnerships can be characterized in various ways depending on who is connected, all healthy partnerships share important components: effective dialogue, appropriate limits, mutual understanding, and supportiveness. Adolescents learn to develop secure and healthful connections with their peers, families, guardians, instructors, and love companions during their adolescence. Teenagers frequently experiment with various identities and behavior, and each of these interactions contributes to their identity construction. Continued use of contraceptive methods can help avoid pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Hormonal contraceptives such as pills and barrier measures such as condoms can significantly prevent the likelihood of pregnancy and minimize the danger of sexually transmitted infections. Third, to label a same-sex spouse as gay, characterize their connection as gay, or refer to their affection as gay intercourse is extremely insulting and should be disregarded. Anti-gay radicals regularly utilize these formulations to disparage LGBT persons, partnerships, and engagements. Lastly, The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor advocates American principles, such as the legal system and individual freedoms, to foster robust, peaceful, successful, and autonomous governments. They contribute to American sovereignty in the fight against dictatorship and terrorism by defending religious, linguistic, and media freedom and the rights of citizens to peaceably protest and seek the gov
Robert Putnam makes the case that the United States has lost social capital and civil society over the last quarter-century after explaining the importance of social capital and civil society in democratic societies. Tocqueville during his visit to America said, “Americans of all ages, all stations in life, and all types of disposition are forever forming associations. There are not only commercial and industrial associations in which all take part, but others of a thousand different types—religious, moral, serious, futile, very general and very limited, immensely large and very minute…. Nothing, in my view, deserves more attention than the intellectual and moral associations in America” (Putmann, 2000, p. 65). Even though Putnam admits that determining the significance of a few countertrends without additional research is difficult, he concludes that critical factors such as social trust are eroding at an alarming rate in the United States. He then goes into great detail about this erosion, and he concludes by outlining the research required to investigate these theories thoroughly. This important book demonstrates that social capital decreased dramatically in the United States after the mid-to-late-1960s due to generational succession, the rise of television and urban sprawl, and the increasing demands placed on people’s time and money, among other factors. Numerous social problems have been implicated from the same, and as a result, ranging from poor educational outcomes to economic stress and tensions between and among social groups. The most likely solution to this problem is to re-establish social capital in the manner of the Progressive Era but using contemporary approaches. Societal norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness have developed due to the accumulation of social capital, defined as “connections among individuals’ social networks.” Social capital is regarded as having the same value as physical and human capital. In the same way, social networks are regarded as having the same value (Putnam, 2020, p. 19). According to the author of Bowling Alone, there has been a decline in social capital in contemporary America. The book investigates the causes and consequences of this decline and potential solutions. According to Putnam, there is a critical distinction between social capital that bridges everyone and bonds bind everyone together, including only those people. Outward-facing networks, as opposed to inward-facing networks primarily concerned with their members, are more likely to contain more inclusive social capital networks. Ethnic fraternal organizations and country clubs are two examples of this type of organization today. Diverse social cleavages, also known as bridging social capital networks, on the other hand, are outward-facing and include people from a wide range of social backgrounds. The civil rights movement and youth service organizations are examples of how social capital has been used to bridge gaps in recent history. The possibility that social capital might restrict free
Various seminal studies in the field of educational psychology have illuminated fundamental components on the learning process that could be used for effective communication and collaboration either at the classroom level or in the social context. These studies have demonstrated that students are not only inclined to learn in divergent ways, but they also favor different instruction methodologies and materials for teaching (Franzoni & Assar, 2009). It is the purpose of this paper to evaluate some of the existing learning and personality styles with the purpose of developing strategies for effective communication and collaboration amongst the evaluated learning styles and personality types. A learning style, according to Franzoni & Assar (2009), can be described as the attributes, strengths, and inclinations in the way individuals obtain and process stimuli or information. Consecutive studies reveal that every individual is endowed with an intricate set of tactics which he or she uses in the learning process. This paper will evaluate the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and reading and writing learning styles. In intrapersonal learning style, the individual is solitary-oriented, and always prefer to conduct his or her studies in private using considerable amount of independence (Franzoni & Assar, 2009). The learning style, though introspective in orientation, enable the individual to concentrate in the learning process in addition to developing his or her own independent thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and attitudes. The students utilizing this particular style always take time to reflect on their educational achievements and failures without necessarily being pushed to do so. In interpersonal learning, the student is highly sociable and is able to communicate effectively with other people, including the instructors. The individual also exhibits highly developed verbal and non-verbal communication channels, and is always sensitive to attitudes, feelings, and worldviews of others (Long & Coldren, 2006). The individual is highly admirable and always prefer to learn in groups, not mentioning the fact that he or she always prefer to spend time with the instructors discussing topics that have not being well understood. According to Hlawaty (2009), individuals using this learning style develop their cognitive capa
In the US, police officers regard crime investigation procedures as a paramount facet of criminal justice. These processes entail examination and evaluation of crime scenes with the aim of recovering crime evidence and documenting crime details (Albanese, 1999). For effective crime investigations, police officers are required to assess, observe, document, search, collect, and analyze crime scene evidence. This paper focuses on police experiences as they perform their policing duties. Simple Assault Simple assault is defined as a willful cause of bodily harm to an individual. In the US, procedures used in criminal investigations related to assaults are similar to those used in homicide investigations. Simple assault differs from aggravated assault in that it does not involve the use of weapons (Fisher, 2000). Upon arrival at the crime scene, police officers should analyze the scene critically. Through this, they should collect samples of fingerprints and blood samples. After this, they are supposed to interview the witnesses. During this procedure, the victim’s information is paramount. The above procedures have been stated in accordance with the procedures documented in the textbooks and classroom environments. However, in contemporary society, some of these procedures do not hold. For instance, more often cases of physical assault are reported after the suspects or other individuals have distorted the crime scene evidence. Because of this, the investigators will be forced to rely on other evidence (Fisher, 2000). Any individual who willfully causes threat or bodily harm to another individual is termed to have violated the assault law. To understand the major causes of this crime and how to deter it, law enforcers should employ psychological theories in coming up with appropriate policies. Robbery Robbery crime refers to the unlawful act of taking someone’s property. More often, investigators arrive at the scene of the robbery after the robbers have fled. This implies that soon after arriving at the robbery scene police officers are required to attend to emergencies (Fisher, 2000). Thereafter, they are supposed to broadcast the robbers’ information to their fellow officers at various locations to begin the follow-up searches. After this, follow-up vehicles are supposed to be dispatched. Similarly, police officers and forensic experts should detail the evidence left behind by the robbers by taking pictures of the crime scenes and searching for fingerprints. During the robbery investigations, investigators may find that some of the mentioned procedures do not hold in any of the investigations. According to the existing literature, police officers are expected to follow standardized procedures during their investigations. However, during their investigations, investigators might be prompted to interview the eyewitnesses before first-hand information is lost. Just like other common crime
Introduction Though argued as a multinational concept, the “melting pot” paradigm has often been used to describe the American societal setting. Various critics have however regarded this assumption as false; citing the rather distinct difference earlier inhabitants of the larger America choose to distinguish emigrants to their setting, from themselves. Earle and Wirth (1995), through their book titled “American issues: the social record”, seem to question the relevance of the melting pot depiction to describe America (3). They argue that America’s conservative nature creates relevance to instead describing it as a society that tries to foster cultural tolerance as opposed to completely assimilating it. America presently holds legislations that seem to limit the emigration of individuals into their country. America cannot be described as a perfect melting pot of cultures, and should instead be referred to as a society that struggles to maintain societal rights through cultural tolerance. The past American society seems to bear witness to this particular assertion. The term melting pot emerged during the late 18 th century and was used to describe then America as an ideal setting that fostered both cultural tolerance and assimilation (Curti, 10). It was often regarded as a futuristic concept that would eventually become relevant once all cultures brought into the continent by differing factors would eventually blend and form a single entity, which would serve as America’s depiction. To this effect, various critics argued that America might have eventually been successful in achieving this objective, through understanding that many emigrants eventually adopted a new culture in their present setting. Few can argue that the present American culture appears as a diverse union of various cultural identities (Macionis, 25). A different perspective is however witnessed once we understand the different challenges particular races faced in trying to melt into a new culture. True to this assertion, it can be argued that though early historians alluded to the fact that America was an ideal melting pot, many people did not melt and instead faced many barriers to becoming accepted into American life. Various historical examples can be used to prove this assertion. In this particular context, it can be argued that the fact that most immigrants into the American culture faced racism-related challenges is one example that deems the melting pot paradigm a false depiction of the American culture. Again, a second example can be offered through analyzing the then-American legislation system that seemed to lock out the immigration of individuals into the country. These particular examples bring forth an
What are the opportunity costs of being a student in higher education?  1. The opportunity cost of being a student in higher education comprises alternatives that a student could have pursued instead of attending school. These include having a family, working, vacations, pursuing one’s passion and dreams, running a business, and loss of valuable time (Goastellec and Picard 54). The opportunity cost of higher education is the sum of all the alternative activities a student could pursue instead of spending time in college attending classes and doing other activities.  2. The opportunity cost of spending an evening revising for an economics exam is foregoing a part-time job or sacrificing a night out with friends. A student would need to know what is more important to them in order to make the best decision with regard to the best use of their time and energy. In addition, they should know what their core values are because the best decisions are based on an individual’s core values. The student should decide whether pursuing the alternatives is more beneficial than revising for the economics exam. The option that provides more value becomes the best course of action to pursue (McEachern 46). Costs of higher education The costs of food are not included because inspire of the choice made, it is a necessary expense that is incurred. If an individual decides to join college, they will spend money on food. On the other hand, if they choose not to g to college, they will still spend money on food. Therefore, the cost of food cannot be considered as an opportunity cost. Similarly, clothing cannot be included in the equation because both choices will entail spending money on clothing. Clothing and food costs are not sacrifices that an individual makes when they decide to either attend or not attend college (McMahon 63). The benefits of higher education include:   * Preparation for a career of choice.   * Opportunity to improve the standards of living.   * Possessions of skills and knowledge necessary to pursue desired careers and professions, as well as navigate life. In addition to academic knowledge, students gain social knowledge and skills that help them in creating collaborative relationships outside of school (McMahon 71).   * Economic empowerment in the form of income, wages, and salaries. Research has shown that an individual’s income is directly proportional to their level of education.   * Enhanced decision-making capabilities. Graduates gain knowledge and experience that allows them to make healthy decisions that benefit them and society.   * High standards of living with regard to economic and physical well being (Vedder par. 4).   * Personal development: enhanced critical thinking skills, better communication skills, a greater sense of discipline, the realization of passions, and a sense of accomplishment (McMahon 76). The opportunity cost to the individual and society is dissimilar because of the varied benefits the individual and soci
