This episode consists of three parts. The prologue contains an excerpt from a newspaper article aimed at showing that racial integration is not possible. Such articles were often published by many journalists in Southern parts of the United States. In particular, they were supposed to demonstrate that the segregation of white and black people had been inevitable. The second part describes the experiences of an interracial family that later. By looking at the life of these people, one can see that racial differences do not affect the relationships between spouses. Possible difficulties can be explained by social expectations that are set for representatives of a certain race. Moreover, one should not forget about the role of prejudices and stereotypes existing in the community. In turn, the third part of this program is related to the life of Cedric Jennings, an African-American student who was accepted to a prestigious university. His narrative shows that African Americans have to struggle with educational inequalities and it is difficult for them to climb the social ladder. The issues examined in this episode do not impact me directly; however, I do not know some black people who are affected by the legacies of racial segregation. For instance, they can be marginalized by their peers provided that they strive to excel in their academic studies. To some degree, their experiences are similar to the difficulties faced by Cedric Jennings. This episode has produced several effects on me. First of all, I can now better appreciate the problems faced by African-American people. Moreover, I will pay more attention to various aspects of interracial integration. In my opinion, it is not possible to turn a blind eye to this problem. So, this episode changed some of my attitudes. To some degree, this episode can change the way in people perceive racial differences or address various problems that are related to this issue. In particular, this program demonstrates that despite racial distinctions, people have the same value systems, priorities, or goals. Secondly, this radio program can highlight the difficulties faced by African Americans, especially at the time when they attempt to cross the so-called color line. Thus, this episode can change the values and attitudes of many people. Apart from that, this episode can have some impact on the educational policies of the state. Certainly, the impact of a radio broadcast cannot be easily identified or measured. Yet, this episode may prompt people to think more about the legacies of racial segregation and re-evaluate many of their worldviews. This is one of the arguments that can be made. There are several ways in which the society can resolve the issues discussed in this episode. First of all, it is necessary to refute the stereotypes according to which interracial integration is impossibl
Introduction The concept of Emiratization has been around for quite a while. It has had a large impact on the social and economic characteristics of the UAE. According to the resisting definition, the phenomenon of Emiratization in the process of inviting a larger number of residents of the UAE to participate in its economic growth. Particularly, Emiratization implies increasing the number of UAE residents in private and public sectors (Forstenlechner et al. 1). Therefore, there is an urgent need to reconsider the current approach toward the Emiratization process. Unless the target audience is interested in the offers provided by the private sector, the improvements that the state economy needs at present will never be implemented, and the SME environment will remain underdeveloped. A detailed analysis of the essential factors that affect the motivation and the choices of the UAE workforce, however, will help identify the current trends. Moreover, it will help shape the candidates’ choices so that the private sector could be rebuilt and revived (Goby 417). Thus, further economic growth can be spurred. Aims and Objectives The primary goal of the research is to identify the factors that affect the motivation rates among the members of the UAE workforce in private entrepreneurship. As soon as the factors that contribute to a drop in the motivation rates among the target population are located, the strategies for addressing the problem can be created. Research Question The study will aim at determining the factors that currently affect the choices that the UAE residents make when it comes to selecting a workplace. To be more exact, it will be necessary to understand why the private sector typically glances over. Also, the role of rewards, including both financial support for the staff members and public appraisals of their achievements will be assessed in the context of the UAE business environment. The specifics of the Emirati business environment, including the organizational standards and values, will be considered in the study. Thus, the factors that have the greatest impact on people’s choices can be isolated. Therefore, the research question can be put in the following manner: What are the factors that defined the engagement of the staff as the primary reason for the failure of the Emiratization for the private entrepreneurship area, and what strategies can be suggested to address the obstacles? Research Design A closer look at the research question provided above will show that it concerns mostly the qualitative relationships between the key variables. Therefore, there is no need in quantifying the outcomes of the study. Consequently, the use of qualitative research design can be suggested. Furthermore, the location of adequ
Introduction Management is an important organizational procedure that involves organizing and coordinating activities within a firm. The process usually follows particular policies so that defined objectives can be achieved. The organization that I work for is St. Peter’s hospital. The hospital renders many kinds of health services including surgical, outpatient and rehabilitation services. Management at St. Peter’s Hospital The management of the hospital is structured to enhance efficiency and specialization of services. The specialized work force enables high quality services to be rendered. Thus, to facilitate the management of the health facility, the management has been divided into different departments. Each department has qualified professionals that are specialized for their particular jobs. This means that there are no overlaps from one profession to the other. Tasks are therefore subdivided into separate jobs depending on who is qualified for the job based on ones academic background. Different jobs have also been grouped together on the basis of their similarities in which the professional services are rendered. For instance, outpatient services that include family health center, rensselaer health center, dental services, Slingerlands and Madison pediatrics are all grouped under ambulatory care network (St. Peter’s Health Care Services, 2011). Individuals and groups report to the higher authorities who are mainly departmental leaders. For instance, any matter concerned with recruitment of new staff is always done by the human resource department. The number of individuals under a manager should be optimal to enhance the effectiveness of control. The hospital has ensured that there is a wide span of control under each manager in order for employees to take more responsibility and have high morale. Decision making of the firm is made mainly by the top management. There is delegation of duties to all departments but when it comes to administrative issues that need to be deliberated by higher authorities, the top management takes over the decision making process. Employees and managers are usually guided by departmental regulations through which overlap of duties by employees is avoided. Technological input has helped to increase efficiency of professional services. The acquisition of modern machinery such as modern surgical equipment, digitization of documents, ultrasound machines and power wheelchairs has improved organization processes in the respective departments. Many services such as cancer treatment can now be offered in this health facility through the acquisition of modern equipment. Many of the equipment have also greatly reduced the workload of the employees thus creating more time for other important duties to be attended to. It is worth noting though, that implementation of technology can cause proble
Managers have the role of synchronizing and combining human, financial, and physical resources within their organization; effective managers ensure the above resources are utilized to their optimal level. When synchronizing and combining resources within their reach, managers start by understanding the potential their organization has in particular areas then take such strategic management measure to maximize and improve their organizations use of resources as they minimize the effects of their industry threats and internal weaknesses. Apple Incorporation is an American multinational company in the electronic industry; the company manufactures computer software, phones, Ipones, consumer electronics, and personal computers. The company was founded on April 1, 1976 in Cuperino, California, since then it has been a major competitor with companies in the same industry like IBM, HP, and DELL; according to fortune 500 report of 2011, Apple is the largest publically traded company in the world by revenue and profit. The success of the company can be attributed to its effective human resources management and strategic knowledge management style in the company. This paper discusses the human resources and knowledge management styles as adopted at Apple Incorporation. Apple Human Resources Management The human resources management department at Apple has the role of ensuring that the company has the right number of people with appropriate knowledge to drive the organisation to the next higher level. Well-managed human resources results into an orchestrate team. Apple’s human resources department is responsible for looking at its staff’s welfare. The department is responsible for planning, deploying, employing, training, retaining, and dismissal of employees. To manage their personnel’s effectively, the company undertake the following management approaches to its personnel: Personnel need Planning Apple human resources department is mandated with the task of analysing the labour market, and its internal needs of employees so that they can come up with the right decision on when they should seek more talents, expertise or manpower. Through its planning role, the department ensures that the company has an orchestrate team and makes sound prediction of any future changes in human resources markets. Hiring When a particular department establishes area/areas that require more employees, Apple’s human resources department starts the hiring process starts timely enough that at no point will the organization suffer a deficit. Hiring may be from internal staffs or can involve seeking for talents and people of certain cabers in the external labour market; whichever the method the company decides to use, the main objective is to get people with talent, experiences, expertise, and energy to do the job. After an advert, whether internal or external, applications are expected to have been received at a certain period, they
Introduction The paper at hand is going to compare the opposing opinions about the influence of popular culture on American youth. For this purpose, it will summarize the arguments provided by William Bennett and Mike Males as they are presented in the articles “Popular Culture Negatively Influences America’s Youth” and “Popular Culture Does Not Negatively Influence America’s Youth”. Bennett argues that glamorizing various kinds of antisocial and violent behavior patterns, which is currently typical of the popular culture, produces a negative impact on young people’s morality. On the contrary, Males attempts to refute this claim, stating that movies, advertising, and music cannot encourage youths to involve in criminal or hazardous behaviors. Analysis The former Education Secretary William Bennett is convinced that modern movies, television, and music create gratuitous images of violence, brutality, and antisocial conduct thereby coarsening young people. Some of them are tempted to believe that their problems can be resolved with the help of violence as it is shown in the movies. He exemplifies his opinion by the case of a cruel mass murder committed by two Colorado high school students in 1990. Twelve teenagers were killed exactly as celebrities typically do in popular Hollywood films: Pleading victims were first taunted and humiliated and then murdered. According to Bennett, there is sufficient evidence to state that both criminals (Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris) actually enjoyed the process not least of all due to the glamorization of mass murders in music and cinematography. The author partially attributes it to the immense popularity of the 1996 movie Scream, in which “a dozen students and teachers are graphically butchered in the film, while the characters make running jokes about murder” (Bennett). Furthermore, both teenagers were fans of the shock rocker Marilyn Manson, who is often called “Antichrist superstar” (by the name of one of his albums). That makes Bennett insist that the entertainment industry bears responsibility for all consequences produced by the unregulated content of all its products. Moreover, in the author’s viewpoint, the issue of arms carrying is also closely connected to the popular culture since movies continue to promote the so-called pro-gun ideology (Bennett). Finally, he switches to the topic of kids, for which “the popular culture works as a coarsener, desensitizer, and dehumanizer” (Bennett). This makes the task of bringing up children excessively complex for their parents since they have to fight “against faceless television, movie, and music executives who are fighting against them”. The author concludes that the greatest problem is that for some percentage of kids (who are particularly affected by the popular culture) violent songs and film
Racial discrimination in the Dallas-Fort Worth area has long historical roots. This, to a certain extent, still now affects the political voice of the Black, Hispanic, and Asian populations. However, while the Voting Rights Act of 1965 removed most of the barriers to voting among blacks, other racial minorities remained largely unaffected by the document. Meanwhile, the number of registered African-Americans in DFW skyrocketed from 2.1 in 1965 to 70.4 in 1968 (City of Dallas, 2019). Thus, there is a historical imbalance in the political representation of racial minorities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Notwithstanding the above, Texas, like Dallas in particular, is one of the most racially diverse and segregated regions. This picture emerges mainly at the expense of immigrants, thus often identifying this segment of the population as vulnerable. According to the University of Virginia (2020), most migrants are Latinos; in the second place, there are Blacks, followed by Asians. Nonetheless, the Black population is reported to thrive best in the suburban areas of DFW, where this racial group’s political and labor participation is well above average. (Egan, 2021). This is most likely due to the fact that suburban areas attract already better-off people seeking stability, family formation, and a safe environment. However, as studies show, socioeconomic disparities still take place in DFW and are reflected in a high correlation between low-income levels as well as child poverty and non-white race. Thus, for example, 20% of the Hispanic population lived in poor conditions in 2018 (City of Dallas, 2019). There were also disparities in access to education and justice reported in DFW. Unsurprisingly, Texas has a rather depressing picture of voter turnout and registration. Today, a significant lack of turnout is due to the fact that most of the non-white population is made up of migrants who are not eligible for voting. It also notes that the path to more active political participation of Latinos in Tarrant County lies through expanding access to education, given that the area has a young Spanish population, which will very soon be eligible for elections (Murphy & Ura, 2018). In the last couple of years, northern Texas has been rapidly changing its face, opening more opportunities for racial minorities. This is evident when looking at the rapidly growing Asian and Hispanic populations (Cai & Ura, 2021). At the same time, the growing diversity of the population is multiplying the state’s culture, including the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Introduction After reading, analyzing and marking a difference in the topic under consideration in the article “Women’s Organizations and Civil Society in China” by Jude Howell, the question of the role of non – governmental institutions (that still, despite acting apart from the Party-state during the period of reform in China, should be regarded at the beginning of the essay as the structural component of the Chinese Communist Party –CCP) in the development of China, with the regard to its civil society, arises. Main text It might be stated that old and stiff gender cultural traditions, as well as economic discrimination, devious and inequality, are the basis of the problem of the interest. It would be relevant to regard the All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF) that is subject to CCP within this context. It is the officially designed widespread organization that represents and protects women’s interests and rights. However, the given organization’s motive is not a political change. But according to the author of the article under consideration – Jude Howell, it is indeed doubtful that Chinese cultural traditions can be changed easily just by time of occurrence, “even the ACWF faces limitations on the authority that it can exercise over policy or legislative changes” (Howell, 2003, p. 192). So referring to the article of this scholar, there can be made a suggestion that the women’s organizations in China are actually unable to target and fight the basic issues behind the problem of gender discrimination. Still, following the development of the non – governmental institutions, like ACWF, within the civil society of China, it is possible to portray the changes in the process of the development of China. Howell studies and analyzes the reasons that caused the creation of women’s organizations; she analyzes the degrees of such organizations’ autonomy and takes these indices as a measure of the development of China’s civil society as a whole. Thus, author of the given article concludes that “although there are differences between women’s organizations and other social organiza
The companies engaged in international marketing, involve the use of one or more marketing mix across global boundaries; this requires the company to establish amenities all over the world and coordinate marketing strategies globally (Doole and Lowe 172). The implementation of international marketing strategies by the companies operating worldwide is necessary to achieve a competitive landscape. The companies operating worldwide which manage to succeed are those that view international environmental changes and can develop strategies to respond to those changes. For a company to be successful it needs to be aware of the industry’s limits and market within its global marketing surroundings; however, management forethought and organizational erudition can be applied to achieve a sustainable competitive edge in the international market (Doole and Lowe 169). Currently, globalization has been mainly driven by technology information; this has made many companies to reassess what enabled them to achieve competitive gain. Pull of competencies of the firm personnel, personal knowledge, capability, and skills has made companies to develop their potential and become knowledge-based firm (Doole and Lowe 170). Furthermore, these companies have realized that they must nurture, retain, and apply capabilities and skills in all their businesses if they desire to be efficient in the national market. The potential growth of international marketing can only be utilized if the organizations become a learning organization where the high-end training of staff in a market is leveraged and build in all worldwide activities (Doole and Lowe 175). The implementation of international marketing to such an extent can fail due to the following factors; one, failure to discover the accurate market niche, two, disinclination to update and adapt products for home use which means that there are no unique products that are perceived as of high quality by customers in the home market and finally vacillating pledges that takes time to learn how they operate in the context of other countries (Doole and Lowe 175).

Introduction The house represents a unique environment filled with different intimate objects important for all family members. Every family member values certain objects and but disregard the others. Thus, there are unique objects important for all family members because they symbolize past experiences and memoires, trips and travels. A statue of Nike is a symbol of glory and memories, emotions and experiences. This is a copy of well-known sculpture from ancient Greece. Main body The uniqueness is that a statue is an inanimate object thus it reflects personalized features and symbols. The statue of Nike shows a woman in every one of dimensions, in thickness as well as in height, and even in solid weight if that were desired. In a painting, people cannot see both the back and the face of a man. They can only have one view of him, and that the view which the painter has chosen. A painter or a sculptor in relief sets out with a clear admission of the limits imposed on him in this respect, and he has the consolation that viewers do not in general desire to see the backs of his figures. So far a picture of a man, or a bas-relief of him, fascinates viewers more readily than a statue; and doubtless it was for this among other reasons that in antiquity the sculpture of statues was comparatively late in coming into the field. The statue of Nike is located in the left right corner in the hall. Statue of Nikè is represented as moving sidewards, but with the face and upper part of the body turned to the front. The workmanship is delicate and refined, but for the most part the delicacy and refinement are limited by formality and conventionalism, as may best be seen by the treatment of the hair with its fine formal curls. Doubtless it was the fashion then for ladies to wear their hair in some such artificial arrangement; but still it is possible for an artist to render artificial fashions of that kind in an artistically free manner, if it is in his power to work with freedom at all. It is not, however, only in the hair but also in the movement and drapery of the Victory that all people see the formal restraint under which the sculptors were laboring. In particular it is to be noted that in the movement of the Victory which is to the left with the right leg advanced, the left leg comes forward so as to form a nearer plane and gives the statue the aspect as of a relief with two planes. The right cheek is pushed back a little, and the effect of this is increased by the interruption of the otherwise long line of the jaw caused by the lowering of the head, which also in the circumstances was an action produced by a feeling of tenderness. The eyes are turned inwards a
