Introduction Art has long been recognised for its learning and therapeutic benefits because when people create visual images, they use their right brain hemisphere. Additionally, creativity contributes to healing individuals, revealing suppressed emotions, alleviating tension, fear, and anxiety, and fostering a notion of self-reliance. Involving people in arts is critical to encourage creativity and innovativeness through opportunities. In other words, such an endeavour facilitates the development of a young individual’s core qualities, which include self-confidence, assertiveness, connectedness, and critical thinking. “Connect and Create” can assist young people in developing the resilience necessary to deal with difficult life circumstances. Project Summary: Funding a Heart Work Project Our cohort sought to conduct a fundraising event to initialise the Project Tribe’s awareness campaign. Research indicates that loss of community connectedness is the everyday activity that leads to poor mental health. The goal was to create a community that understood mental health and its impact on daily living. The target market would be the people in the community; this event would be a great way to meet them and talk about our project “Tribe.” The project will be more engaging and effective in acquiring funds for new outreach community projects. An auction, entertainment, mental health discussions, and camaraderie will be part of the event. An auction might be set up with over 35 items gathered from around the United States by reaching out to local business organisations. Social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, or Twitter also can be used for advertising the project. In addition to the arts (art pieces, theatres, galleries, music venues), connection building (holiday packages, group activities) and confidence boosters will act as donors for the recipients’ mental health (jewellery, nice clothing). Since this was the launch event for Project Tribe, it was crucial to focus on mental health awareness. We will also be introducing a musical theatre for students from the Music Department to perform for us, in addition to the silent auction. The musical entertainment will feature upbeat, happy, and country music. We will be expecting over 50 college and community members to attend the Gala. The project will influence the neighbourhood, and after Project Tribe, the cohort will invest in a non-profit organisation that would improve mental health in the community. The Heart Work Project is planned to achieve the three critical goals of raising donations for Project Tribe, wellness, and the efforts of Project Tribe. Moreover, it will positively impact the mental health of the community and start the conversation, building a “Tribe” of support around the project. Furthermore, another strategy is to review previously sponsored initiatives and look for previous grant awards that included arts-related components. When we come across a funded project, we will also check for further information about the program that supported it. We are in a digital world, and, thus we might utilise the technology for our research. There are many federal f
The modern world Michael Thomas Sadler is the author of the text. England began its journey into industrialization in 1800, and by 1900, industrialization had reached rural enclaves in England. One of the early reformers at that time was Michael Sadler; he had a poor background and understood how the poor were suffering in England. Although England was not fully ready for this kind of revolution, the change exposed various issues that have been in England over the years. The rate at which children were used for labor in factories was alarming, and Michael could not afford to stop this trend until he was elected to the House of Commons. He served to the house bills against child labor, which seek to enact policies to stop child labor in Britain (The Sadler Report). The report of Sadler as Chairman of the committee hearing on child labor was one among the many fights Sadler championed during his stay in the House of Commons. Sadler wanted to end child labor; he used the hearing to expose to the world the hazards these children faced while working to earn a living. Sadler used the opportunity to call for a social reform policy that should enlist children into insurance schemes that will cater to them. The argument was that these children were being exploited and the situation was worse than what they know. Social reforms at that time were not accepted by the authorities in England due to the inequality margin. Sadler used the testimonies of these children to make a case for them and change history on their behalf. Arguments from the text Sadler used the hearing to educate the members of the House of Commons on how these children were treated at work. He used the opportunity to make a strong case against child labor, and the challenges children encountered while working at the mill. The arguments were that these children suffered while working for their country just to make a living, and the elites did not see the need for social reforms. The House of Commons was moved beyond doubt by the testimonies of the little children. At the end of the hearing, they came up with some strong points that formed the basis of a bill against child labor. Sadler proposed that owners of factories and mills would be prosecuted or fined should there be cases of accidents with these children. He pointed out that negligence on the part of the owners accounted for the rate of accidents in the factories. Another point raised was the number of hours that these children are forced to work. Sadler pointed out that children under the ages of eight and below were not permitted to work and if they should work in any mill, it has to be for six working hours. Sadler believed that this would give the children time to make use of other educational institutions in society (The Sadler Report). The text showed the transformation process of England at that time. It was
All smiles follow the same language, a well-known proverb, yet contested by social knowledge of man. Not all smiles are genuine and therefore, not all speak in the same language. Nonverbal expression, especially through facial movements, helps in understanding the meaning of the messages communicated. Facial expression forms an integral part of the interaction. A smile can speak a thousand languages and are often attributable with immense power for inner and social healing. A true smile has immense contribution to address problems faced by man. Therefore, the importance of smile to the man is immense. Consequently, it is important to understand if one can identify the difference between a fake and genuine smile. Hence, there is a difference between fake and real smile, which can be differentiated by social as well as scientific factors. This essay tries to find out the reasons that govern the difference between the real and fake smile and how the difference can be identified. Human face is an amalgamation of a large amount of dynamic information and plays an important role in interpersonal communication. Smiles can be real or fake and there are different interpretations regarding the differentiation between the two. Science states that there is a scientific way of identifying the difference between a genuine and a fake smile. In fact, the real smile that eludes happiness is called the “Duchenne smile” named after the French scientist, Guillaume Duchenne, who studied facial expression in humans is the late nineteenth century. Scientists believe a Duchenne smile involves two muscles viz. zygomatic major and orbicularis oculi that helps in smiling. Zygotamic major raises the corners of our mouth and orbicularis oculi makes crow’s feet next to our eyes when the cheeks are raised due to smiling. In case of a real smile movement of both these muscles are observed while in case of a fake smile only zygomatic major moves twisting the corners of the lips but no visible movement around the eye. This is an observable difference between a fake and real smile but the question that arises is that what is the reason for such a difference between the two smiles? In reality, scientists believe that these two smiles i.e. a fake and real smile, are controlled by two different parts of the brain. The reason for such a belief is when the smile is consciously created the left part of the brain responds to such desire, and therefore, moves only the left part of the face. Consequently, only the left part of the face smiles asymmetrically, with the right side of the face not moving likewise. However, when the smile is a spontaneous response it has no asymmetries. Therefore, this resulted in the belief of the scientists that the two types of smiles are controlled by two different parts of the brain. Scientists found that the fake smile is controlled by the motor cortex and that of the real smile is controlled by the limbic system, which is actually the emotional warehouse of the b
How Ecological Systems and Family Systems Theories apply to Mahaley’s Case The ecological systems theory hypothesizes that a people’s development is directly influenced by the environment in which they reside and their social relations (Bredekamp, 2014). In the case of Mahaley, environment factors that affect the girl include her family, neighbors, and the school, just to mention a few. The student interacts with the stated groups on a daily basis. Hence, any changes in the environment will affect her welfare. On the other hand, the family theory views the family as a system in which each member contributes to the welfare of the other parties. An action by a member of the family directly influences all other members. This situation causes a certain reaction. Parents are the key pillars of a family. The disintegration of a child from them, as witnessed in the case of Mahaley, may cause developmental and health problems to the kid. How Ecological and Family Systems Theories can be applied to better Support Mahaley and her Family One way that the school can use the two theories to support Mahaley is by organizing counseling sessions for the affected student. The school should consult a family therapist to offer counseling services to the student and her family. Offering the service in a family setting will not only help the counselor to gain an insight into the problem but will also enlighten Mahaley’s mother about the importance of maintaining a close relationship with her son. If the mother establishes a close relationship with her daughter, she will easily cope with the sudden change in the composition of the family. Based on the ecological theory, the school should encourage Mahaley to make new friends for faster orientation to the new environment (Xu & Filler, 2008). Mahaley’s Microsystem, Mesosystem, Exosystem, Macrosystem, and Chronosystem Mahaley’s microsystem is made up of the home environment, which is comprised of the family members with whom she interacts with regularly (Kelly, Maynigo, Wesley, & Durham, 2013). Her peers and the kindergarten teachers are also part of her microsystem. Her mesosystem includes the interactions between the teacher and the parents to facilitate her education. Next, the exosystem refers to situations and decisions that affect a person, although the said individual cannot participate in their (decisions) making. For Mahaley, such decisions include her mother’s decision to move to Harcourt and to assume a new job in the named city. Next, the macrosystem refers to the cultural environment in which a person lives. It can influence a person either positively or negatively. Lastly, a person’s chronosystem refers to major life transitions, which have a historical imp
The relationship of Nora and Torvald develops significantly throughout the play and eventually shows a completely different side of each of these characters. At the beginning, they seem to be a perfect couple, both content with their roles in the family. However, as the play develops, they are revealing their unhealthy relationship and dissatisfaction. Torvald treats his wife like a child incapable of making her own decisions. He cares mostly about his money and reputation, and through his pressure and arrogance, he makes Nora believe that her life has to only be devoted to her husband and children. Nora sees her purpose in the same way: all she does is try to make her husband happy. Nora and Torvald’s relationship shows that women’s role as an individual was not always recognized, and that for many men, women were and still are simply “dolls” (Gardner et al., 2020). Nevertheless, after Nora reveals her husband’s true self, she realizes that he is a self-centered person who does not really care about her. She becomes stronger and decides to leave her family to educate herself and find her own purpose. The relationship between Kristine and Krogstad have also evolved through different stages. In contrast to Nora and Torvald, Kristine was the one who cared about money more and eventually left Krogstad, even though she actually loved him. This caused Krogstad to become a bitter, devastated, and unhappy man, which shows that he truly loved her as well. What saves him in the end is Kristine, who offers a second chance for them to be together. It appears that his motivation is not gaining money or respect form society; instead, all he needed was love, understanding, and honesty. The fundamental difference between these two couples is that Kristine and Krogstad love each other, which makes it possible for them to talk and solve their problems to reunite after many years of separation.

IS Solution and Operational Efficiency The introduction of information systems (IS) solutions can positively influence operational efficiency through organizing and simplifying the data management process. In a company as big as Soliel Panel Distribution, 150 employees generate rather much data such as progress reports, messages, responses, requests, claims, and many more. An information system can sort such information, unite it into thematic channels making the process of information management in the company more straightforward. BPM and Development of SolDistHR Business Process Management (BPM) can help the IT department develop SolDistHR by making design and modeling processes more efficient. Through effective implementation of BPM, the IT department can visualize the current workflow and all aspects that adversely or beneficially influence it. Additionally, it can establish transparent and swift communication between key personnel, which enhances design decision-making. 5 Steps of Change Management in Application to this Project The first step of change management, assessment, could help Soliel Panel Distribution decide what the problem is and what causes it to devise an accurate plan on how to change and address this issue (Carnall, 2018). The second step, acknowledgment, will address the issue of the perceived need for change in both management and staff. The third step, change strategy development, will allow the company to organize its future change activities and create understandable and achievable goals to manage its employees effectively. The fourth step, implementation, will mobilize the human, information, and technological resources of the company to change its practice of handling its staff. The final step, adjustment, will allow Soliel Panel Distribution to reflect on the IT and IS solutions implemented and compare it with the strategic goals set earlier and take corrective actions if needed. Responsibilities of Key Contributors One of the core groups involved with the project is the IT team leader, who oversees and motivates the developers to contribute meaningfully to the project. One of his or her key responsibilities is to establish effective communication between employees and upper management. In addition, the IT team leader ensures that all members of the team perform at the top of their capacity and their needs are addressed. Software developers are also key to the project. Their responsibilities are to develop a quality IS a solution to help the company address the staffing issue and maintain it in working condition. The administrator will likewise be closely involved with the project. His or her responsibilities are to support developers with advice on how to address staffing needs
Introduction Karl Marx is a well known individual in the field of history. Marx was a philosopher, a historian, and a social scientist who engaged himself with a variety of issues that affected the community. For this reason, Karl Marx is considered to be among the most influential socialist thinkers of the 19 th century. The socialist movement utilized Marx’s political, social as well as economic ideas to achieve success in its processes and practices. Among the many things that Marx is associated with is the idea of communism and socialism. This entails collective ownership of property and organization of labor in such a manner that all members benefit (Polan 1984). This piece of paper looks at the concept of communism and all that surrounds it. Much emphasis will however be given to Karl Marx’s point of view or ideology in regard to communism and how realist or desirable it was. Communism Communism can be defined as an economic system that is characterized by aspects such as collective ownership of property and an organization of labor that is meant for the common advantage of all the involved members. It could also be said to be a system of government whereby the state is involved in the planning and control of the economy and an authoritarian party holds power and works towards establishing a higher social order where all goods and property are shared equally among the communities. It is a doctrine that seeks to overthrow capitalism form of governance. Communism ideology aims at establishing a revolutionary, stateless, and classless socialist society that is based upon commonality particularly with regard to ownership and means of production or division of labor (Ashley and Orenstein 2004). Marx and the Idea of Communism Marx is well known and remembered up to today for his idea of communism and his desire to do away with the capitalist form of governance. Communism and Marxist-Leninist interpretations played a critical role in influencing history of the 20 th century. This was seen in the intense of rivalry that was built up between the western world that was characterized by liberal democratic form of government and market economies and the socialist world that entailed social states that were governed by communist parties. This was serious enough that it culminated the Cold War that existed between the Free World and the Eastern bloc (Gaus and Kukathas 2004). In the communist manifesto, it is evident that Marx
The role of the teacher is a basic requirement for the achievement of an effective learning process. In the context of second language writing several theories have been established; which are commonly the process theories and the genre theories. The process theories use the ideas and assumptions of cognitive psychology and literary composition. On the other hand, genre writing is more focused on purposes, and socially positioned responses to particular contexts and society. Even though, the two methodologies of second language writing have various critics; genre theories have proved to be more effective in the learning process. This paper will focus on the various strategies of achieving successful second language writing (Bakhtin, 1986). The topic of second language writing is a much-contested area that requires expertise in the mode of selecting a successful methodology. On this aspect, many teachers have been in a dilemma on which way to take between the process approach and the genre theories. In the learning environment, different situations require different situations; whereby teachers require expertise in handling various phenomena. The issue of learner difference, as well as achievement of set objectives, should be given ultimate attention. The various theories are however essential though not the final solution to the effective learning process. Research on efficiencies of the processes has shown varied results on the strategies in different social environments as well as different writing topics. In this case, the genre theory is more appropriate and effective in varied learning situations (Bakhtin, 1986). Based on the failures and critics of the process approach, the genre approach seeks to give solutions to the various writing challenges. Various schools of the genre have all tried to establish realistic strategies which help in realizing a successful writing process. The genre theories are more realistic in that they are more literal in composition and encourage students to share wider social contexts. Though, the different schools of the genre theories have established and explained regulations of purpose, structure, and social influence; their emphasis on the context and research methods differ significantly (Bizzell, 1992). Importantly, it is evident that genre theories expound on the understanding of individual learners on the use and interpretation of certain communicative cases. This is a big boost to the individual writer’s knowledge and skills thus helping in the achievement of efficient and effective writing. In addition, genre theories and strategies are consistent with the aspect that; writing is positioned and investigative of general societal practices. From an analytical point of view, it’s realized that; genre strategies of second language writing are effective in making critic
In their article, Thomas Malone, Robert Laubacher and Tammy Johns discuss such a concept as hyperspecialization. This term can be defined as breaking or decomposing the work that is usually performed by a single person into separate elements or pieces. Moreover, these pieces should be done by two or more people. The authors believe that this approach can greatly increase the performance of many businesses. In my opinion, this question is very important nowadays when business administrators try to find ways of raising the productivity of their firms, especially manufacturers. Moreover, this question can have significant implications for employees who want to find work that suits their interests or expertise. The discussion presented by the scholars is based on the model of comparative advantage that originates from the ideas of Adam Smith. This theoretical model implies that individuals and groups are more likely to succeed, if they are engaged in the activities in which they are most skilled. Furthermore, the authors rely on such a concept as the division of labor which means that by dividing the manufacturing process into several short tasks that should be completed by several workers. From their standpoint, the principles of labor division can be applied to many modern companies in which employees do not have an opportunity to display their expertise. These are the main arguments that the scholars put forward and they should not be neglected by managers and executives. One should take into consideration that the authors of this article do not claim that their idea of hyperspecialization is entirely innovative. As it has been said before, they recognize the influence of Adam Smith on their discussion. Nevertheless, they want to show that many firms can benefit from hyperspecialization. This issue is particularly relevant a
