Introduction Marriott is an international operator of hotels and other lodging services. It was founded in the year1927 by J.Willard Marriott who was a missionary in the order of Mormons. He conceived the idea of starting Marriott after his missionary experiences in Washington D.C during the summers. He figured out that the city lacked a place where the residents could have a drink while cooling down from the warm weather. The novel idea grew into a worldwide chain of hotels and restaurants. Their main investment is the Key Bridge Marriott hotel in Virginia. Marriott owns approximately 34,000 hotel and lodging facilities in the United States and other parts of the world. Internship /management training program As an industry leader in the hotel business, Marriott offers internship opportunities to interested college and university students at their hotels. These internship programs equip the students with the necessary work experience to be able to offer quality leadership in the professional fields of the hospitality sector. The internships focus on specific professional areas such that the internee gains experience in one area of specialization. Marriott offers internships in the following areas: Human Resources and Housekeeping, Catering and Food Preparation, Restaurants and Front Office. They also offer opportunities in their Accounting, Finance, and Sales departments. Most of these opportunities are offered in their hotel and lodging facilities in different parts of the world but some are offered at their corporate offices. Internship opportunities are available throughout the year and with their diverse portfolio in different locations, anyone’s preferences can be easily accommodated. Accommodation during the internship period is provided to the internet in some locations. Where it is not available, the internet is required to make personal arrangements. The internship period ranges from three to six months during the winter, summer, or spring seasons. Most prefer the six months period because the skills and experience acquired are more than those acquired from the three months. In most cases, the period is determined by the management of the facility where the opportunity is offered. Marriott also offers internship opportunities at their corporate offices from time to time in such fields as Construction, Information Technology, and Architecture and Revenue Management. These internships involve practical work in the field of specialization coupled with assignments. Before commencing internship,
Abstract Over the years, the application of the Systems theory in different fields of study has escalated. It has played a pivotal role in analyzing various aspects that impact our lives as human beings. Within the field of marriage and family therapy, it has been used in conflict resolution between members of the family. In addition, it has helped therapists in addressing family and marital issues such as: divorce, marriage, anger, the role of the parents within a family setting, domestic violence among other issues. In this research paper, we shall analyze the history of this theory, its philosophical underpinnings as pertaining to marriage and family therapy, the main concepts behind it and its applicability in this area of study. Introduction It is a known fact that no man is an island. This statement may seem hollow but it has deep psychological meanings that may help one understand the human psyche. In layman’s terms, it simply means that humans are social beings that need each other to maintain their sanity as well as in surviving the day-to-day tribulation. From a psychoanalytic perspective, it means that the source of any psychological distress experienced by a person can generally be traced back to his/her society. To further understand how the human mind works, scholars have developed theories that try to justify human behaviors as products of their environment. The Systems theory presents one such development through which human inter-dependency can be explained. A system as defined by Connors et al (2005) refers to; “an organized collection of parts (or subsystems) that are highly integrated to accomplish an overall goal”. A system has various elements that work together towards the achievement of desired results or outputs. This means that a system must have other smaller subsystems if it is to function effectively (Herting et al, 2007). As such, if one aspect of the system changes, it is likely that the pattern of the overall system will change as well. Therefore, a system can be defined as being systemic in nature (Egiazaryan et al, 2007). This paper shall analyze the applicability of the Systems theory to marriage and family therapy. The concepts of this theory shall be evaluated to measure the extent to which it can be applied into the practice of marriage and family therapy. History of Systems theory Systems theory refers to a research strategy that uses different fields of study to create a holistic understanding of a system (Gunaratne, 2008). The main aim of this theory is to analyze the core principles that govern how a system functions so that they can be applied in all fields of study (Trop, 2007). The origin of this theory can be dated back to the late 1890s. This was an era characterized by scientists who wanted to unders
The growing industry of vaping and e-cigarettes and a dramatic increase in the use of such products, especially by teenagers, gave rise to concerns about the danger they might expose to society. There has been a lot of debate and public resonance about this problem in recent years, leading to controversy, myths, and misconceptions. Researches from many universities and medical organizations have conducted studies that are aimed to shed light on this issue and provide evidence for scientific discussion. These studies have shown the negative consequences associated with the use of the substances in question (Glantz & Bareham, 2018). E-cigarettes and vaping pose a substantial threat to the public, making it important that the medical community educates patients dispelling common misconceptions regarding the subject, and the government takes measures to alleviate the danger. Despite the amount of public attention that this problem has gotten recently, the level of public awareness of the effect vaping and e-cigarettes have on humans remains low. This problem is largely due to the spread of misconceptions regarding the subject in mass media and advertising of the products by tobacco companies (Glantz & Bareham, 2018). Personally, before this discussion, I knew the basic information about the negative effect of using vaping and e-cigarettes on a person’s health but did not fully realize the degree of the danger. As recent research suggests, the problem has already led to negative public consequences, and it keeps growing (Glantz & Bareham, 2018). In the face of the threat, it is necessary to promote collaboration of different government and non-government organizations to thoroughly address this question and develop a complex l
Louis Vuitton POEm Strategy Louis Vuitton’s (LV) primary strategy is the use of its heritage in stories, fashion movies, and others. The brand is enhancing its presence via the most popular social media channels. The content used by LV appeals to the consumer’s lifestyle aspirations. The digital media strategy of the brand covers its memorable monogram, distinguished history of cooperation with the fashion industry, sports, and lifestyle along with French heritage. The brand’s campaigns regularly engage celebrities and upload specific video content. Despite all the technical issues and shortcomings of LV’s social media strategy, its content still has high quality, and its classy approach additionally contributes to the brand’s success. In its online social media strategy, LV, like any other luxury brand, faces the challenge of increasing the loyalty and engagement of its audience and simultaneously maintaining its brand positioning and exclusivity (Giglioli, 2017). LV’s digital marketing strategy is strategically inclined and defined. It can be further explored utilizing the POEm model which includes paid, owned, and earned media. In terms of paid media, LV prefers to encompass exclusive visuals and high-fashion celebrities aiming to captivate the viewers “including Keith. Richards, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Sean Connery, Hayden Christensen, and Angelina Jolie, and more recently, David Bowie” and many more (Kasztalska, 2018). The brand connects emotionally with potential customers and makes them believe they are part of LV’s exclusive culture by casting influential models in its fashion films. For instance, it cost LV about six million dollars to engage Angelina Jolie as the face of its single ad campaign in 2018. In addition, the brand actively uses Instagram and Facebook Ads to target its customers effectively. Moreover, to interact with its market more efficiently and closely, LV is sponsoring some mega sports events and primarily focuses on macro-influencers like C. Ferragni. The brand also uses owned media to the fullest. LV’s regular newsletters are sent at least once in 7-10 days, while its festive and campaign newsletters are sent daily. The newsletters are very visual due to the moving illustrations and captivating graphics. They are also very easy to navigate and free of heavy words.
The article by Kraus, Hornickel, Strait, Slater, and Thompson (2014) examines the processes of the brain of children from a disadvantaged background who are involved in permanent musical training. According to the authors, their intervention is aimed at stimulating the development of speech and reading skills (Kraus et al., 2014). Working with children from disadvantaged families is an essential aspect of the activity since their health and well-being are improved by training cognitive functions. As the researchers argue, the participants of their study “hear less complex language and fewer words overall during early language development, which contributes to weaker vocabularies when entering school” (Kraus et al., 2014, p. 1403). Therefore, the study of brain activity in this direction helps children to socialize better and adapt to the educational environment. The work performed proves the importance of music and art in general because by making a proportional ratio of the study participants, the authors prove that creative activities have a positive effect on mental development (Kraus et al., 2014). The training of cognitive functions is a continuous process, but in children from disadvantaged families, it can pass more slowly than in their peers from the normal background. Involvement in creative activity makes it possible to control the brain activity of the child, thereby stimulating those areas of thinking that are responsible for speech and writing. Regardless of the motivation of the participants in the study, positive results were obtained, which proves the effectiveness of the work done and the need to introduce this practice in the educational process. Therefore, the importance of research on the role of music and other forms of art in the daily life of children from a disadvantaged background has not only theoretical premises but also practically proven grounds. Reference Kraus, N., Hornickel, J., Strait, D. L., Slater, J., & Thompson, E. (2014).

Introduction Indigenous peoples, also called aborigines, are the native inhabitants of any region, unlike the newcomers who arrived later. According to United Nations’ (UN) estimations, there are 370 million people who represent the indigenous population living in more than 70 countries of the globe (UN, 2019). They retain a rich diversity of cultures, religions, traditions, languages, and history, while often remaining among the most marginalized groups in the world. Indigenous peoples stay on the very fringes of society: they are poorer, less educated, die at a younger age, they are more likely to commit suicide, and their overall health conditions are worse than of the rest of the population (Greenwood, De Leeuw, Lindsay & Reading, 2015). Often, the underlying cause of poor health among the natives is open or implicit discrimination, which violates one of the most basic human rights. Most indigenous communities have a negative experience of colonization and oppression by the state and the dominant social society. The long history of existence in conditions of political, economic, social, and cultural disturbance has caused severe damage to the health of indigenous peoples (Fabrigas & Maniago, 2018). Sometimes even political and social conflicts abroad can negatively impact the internal native population. The Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 forced millions of Bangladeshis to seek refuge in India (Van Schendel, 2016). Thousands, however, fled to Australia, including my family, thus indirectly influencing the lives of the indigenous Australian inhabitants. Our life opportunities were shaped too, as the war destroyed many life-sustaining facilities and displaced enormous numbers of people. Impact of Historical Events on My Family’s Opportunities Because wars and international political conflicts affect both the natives and newcomers, I want to emphasize a story of Bangladesh Liberation War, which caused great devastation to my family and relatives. Millions of Hindus sought refuge in India, but even more lost their homes and had nowhere to go (Van Schendel, 2016). There was no country of Bangladesh at that time, and we were all part of one state of Pakistan. Bengalis mainly inhabited East Pakistan, and many demanded independence. West Pakistan, which was economically more developed, began the war in order to suppress the movements. Our family first moved to the eastern capital, Dhaka, but later were forced to leave the country to sett
Introduction Effective leadership is the main driving force in every successful private or public organization (Freeman & Siegfried 2015). To become a competent leader, a manager should possess adequate skills and encourage his or her followers to focus on the targeted vision. Leadership is therefore defined as the ability to lead others by example, communicating goals adequately, and mobilizing resources to ensure positive results are realized promptly (Koryak et al. 2015). Entrepreneurship leadership has emerged as a new model that guides managers in different organizations to mentor others in an attempt to deliver the intended objectives. Ward (2017) believes that entrepreneurship leadership is the act of “organizing people to achieve a specified goal using various entrepreneurial strategies” (p. 75). Some of these approaches include change management, innovation, risk optimization, and inclusivity. When such attributes are taken seriously, an organization will find it easier to achieve its goals. Unfortunately, the application of entrepreneurship leadership by managers has not delivered desirable results in many organizations in the public sector. Focusing on the unique attributes and concepts of entrepreneurial leadership, this paper explores why managers often fail to implement meaningful changes in the public sector. The discussion goes further to describe how entrepreneurship can be used to implement change in a government organization. Leadership in the Public Sector Many theorists have presented various models to describe how a change in a public firm can be managed. It should also be observed that some of the presented theories offer conflicting ideas regarding the issue of change management. However, the models appear to present remarkable concepts and initiatives that can be applied successfully in public organizations that want to realize their goals much faster (Koryak et al. 2015). Organizational managers are equipped with adequate competencies that can be applied to effect change. The manager will be required to go a step further to ensure the intended change process is implemented successfully. Freeman and Siegfried (2015) assert that a change model is critical whenever planning to initiate a new idea in an organization. Kurt Lewin’s change model has gained popularity within the past few decades bec
Introduction Pandemics, in general, are not just a severe public health problem; they cause catastrophic socioeconomic and political crises in the countries where the infection occurred. With the arrival of the coronavirus in these countries, economic activity has slowed considerably because of quarantine, and the accompanying anthropogenic environmental impact has also decreased (Hampton, 2020). Until 2020, the increase in greenhouse gases occurring since the beginning of the industrialization era has led to a rise in global average temperatures on Earth, causing effects such as melting glaciers and rising sea levels (Ryan, 2020). Human activities, in various forms, caused environmental degradation and triggered the sixth mass extinction. However, the ecological consequences of a worldwide pandemic are mixed. At the same time, globalization complicates the ecological situation. The bottom line is that countries and nations are interconnected, and one nation’s harmful industry causes consequences to spread to its neighbors. Globalization is not only about economic integration, its political, informational, and cultural aspects are also important. For example, India and China are under international economic and political pressure to meet higher environmental standards. How the Pandemic Has Helped the Environment An apparent positive consequence of the epidemic has been improved air quality – because of the quarantine, there are fewer cars on city streets, and only businesses that produce vital products and services continue to operate. It led to a quarter reduction in China’s carbon dioxide emissions at the beginning of 2020 compared to the same period last year (Ryan, 2020, p. 117). Coal use at the country’s six largest power plants fell by 40% over the same period (Ryan, 2020, p. 117). Combined emissions from industrial processes, manufacturing, and construction account for 18.4% of global anthropogenic emissions (Ryan, 2020, p. 120). The financial crisis of 2008-2009 led to an overall reduction of 1.3% in emissions; in 2020, the figure will be about 0.3% (Ryan, 2020, p. 131). According to China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the number of days with “good quality air” in 337 Chinese cities has increased by 11.4% compared to the same period last year (Gupta & Goyal, 2020, p. 80). In Europe, satellite images show that nitrogen dioxide emissions, a substance harmful to human health, have dropped to almost zero over northern Italy. The situation is similar in Spain and the United Kingdom. The reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is due to the removal of cars on the streets, which account for about 23% of total CO2 emissions (Hampton, 2020, p. 39). In
