The play ‘Lysistrata’ by Aristophanes is one of the funniest comedies in Greek literature, as it unveils harsh turmoil experienced by Athenians as a result of war. Being a sex striking play, Aristophanes exposes the absurd consequences of war, though in fanatical manner. In this play, Athenians are brought out as having temporary liberation from the throes of warfare situations, which they can not easily amend. Particularly, the comedy is quite emotional in the way Aristophanes presents humorous sexual tensions among women and women. Reality is expressed in this comedy, since it tries to reveal out the long-term implications of war, which drives youths and potential men out of their families and lovers. As a result, indisputable sympathy towards the disbanded women is registered, through humor. This paper discuses the comic nature of the play by bringing out the achievements realized by Aristophanes by setting his serious purpose in a comic form. As the play reveals, the problems of young women and unmarried girls are clearly brought in focus, when their husbands and the youths are constantly involved in war for years. As a result, these women are brought out as being desperately longing for sex, despite the community lacking potential men. Basically, Aristophanes has succeeded in bringing out the harmful consequences of war, though in comic form. In this case, he makes the audience to understand and acknowledge the unruly nature of wars in the society at large. Particularly, the situation in this play exposes the deterrence nature of war for coherence in societal development and peace. It is clearly depicted that, with most women being left without husbands, posterity of the society is at risk, since the rate of population growth is almost negative. The play continues to unfold its comic nature when women are left to take control of treasury, since no potential men to take charge as all men had gone to war. As revealed in the play, the old men left strive ceaselessly to drive such women out of control of such sensitive institutions. Though these scenes unfold humorously, Aristophanes is trying to expose how male chauvinism in the society is bad. Since such old men had fought Spartan, the king of Persian, they now turn to fight their very own devastated women. It should be remembered that, women during that time had been denied of their conjugal rights, and were involving themselves in activities which would make them busy, in absence of their men. Certainly, Aristophanes succeeds in bringing out how productive women are in various aspects, despite the oppressive the oppressive nature of men. More specifically, the author of this play exposes the ability of women to engage in productive activities in absence of men. Importantly, this play revolves round politics and social issues in the days of the author, in spite of the lack of parabasis. As depicted in the play, cities are mutilated and extensively damaged, which turns out to women’s work in their protests against the w
Introduction Neonatal sepsis is an infection of the blood that affects infants who are below ninety days of age. There exist two categories of neonatal sepsis, namely: early-onset as well as late-onset sepsis (Belleza, 2021). Early-onset occurs within the first week of birth, while late-onset affects infants who are between one week and three months old. Additionally, in early-onset sepsis, the newborn baby either transmits this infection before or while the mother gives birth. Factors increasing the occurrence of early-onset sepsis include preterm delivery, placenta, and amniotic fluid infection, and in case water breaks more than eighteen hours before birth (Belleza, 2021). Moreover, an extension of hospital stay and the presence of the catheter in the blood vessels contribute to late-onset sepsis in infants. The major bacteria causing sepsis in newborn babies is Group B streptococcus. Other bacteria that cause neonatal sepsis include Escherichia coli, certain streptococcus strains, and Listeria. However, these cases are not rampant in current years due to the introduction of screening technology for pregnant women. This essay critically reflects the care given to a preterm baby on optiflow with sepsis in the neonatal unit during my shift. Description The name of the preterm baby was Simon, born at twenty-seven plus two weeks of pregnancy. Simon was delivered through a cesarean section and weighed 779g. After delivery, Simon could not breathe normally, and therefore, he was incubated after forty-five minutes of birth for ventilation breaths. Simon was transferred to the neonatal unit, where he was ventilated for three days. Afterward, a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine provided him with steady air pressure to assist him in breathing. The last alternative was optiflow which is more comfortable than dry or standard oxygen. Optiflow, also known as Nasal high flow oxygen, provides high-flowing, humidified, and warmed oxygen to patients (Belleza, 2021). Simon was twenty-six days old during the reflection period and was on an eight-liter optiflow. Additionally, the oxygen requirement was between twenty-five and thirty percent. All safety checks were conducted after handover, and after assessment, it was discovered that Simon had desaturation and frequent bradycardia, which required oxygen stimulation. I also noticed that Simon had a rapid rate of breathing, irritability, and tachypnea. I immediately informed the doctor in charge and the nurse on duty. A partial septic screen (blood cultures, CRP, FBC) was conducted, and began on antibiotics. An x-ray of the chest was done, and respiratory distress was revealed. Lastly, 3.0 lactate was detected through blood gas, and an assessment of pain was administered. Simon looked lethargic, in distress, and unwell. Seeing his condition, I felt sympathy and con
Introduction T17 RAG Technology House has made an important decision to enter the microcomputer business in the global market. The strategy that has been taken by the corporate headquarters is that after two years, this new division should be able to sustain its own operations and generate substantial profits for the mother company. According to Keller (2003, p. 76), two years may be a short period for a large company to break even and generate returns on its investment. As shown in the previous analyses, it is clear that the top management has decided to make a massive investment into this new project. This means that any form of failure in this project may not be acceptable. The corporate headquarters has made the decision of making a seed capital of $ 7 million within a period of two years. Such a massive investment must be used to generate a strong value to the parent firm. As the head of this new division, it is important to draw a clear market plan that would help achieve the expectations set by the headquarters within a timeframe of two years. This may not be a simple task, especially given that the products are to be delivered to the global market. All the major continents are targeted, and within the two years, the products should be available in North and South America, Europe, Asia-pacific, Africa, and Middle East regions. In this market plan, the focus will be to find the most appropriate marketing strategies, financial plans, and assessment approaches that will propel the firm to the desired heights. History of the Firm According to Fisher and Vallaster (2008, p. 74), one of the best ways of developing an effective plan for the success of a firm is to start by analysing its history. The process of analysing a firm’s history helps in determining the past trends in order to determine what the future holds for the firm. As stated in the section above, this is a new PC division that has just been introduced by the parent firm. This division lacks any history because it has just been created and it is yet to take off in the market. This means that its past can be analysed by knowing the history of the parent firm. T17 RAG Technology House has been operating in the market for some time as a large international electronic firm. It has specialised in various electronic products, but had not made an entry into the personal computer business. In order to succeed in the challenging market environment, the management had developed a mission statement that would guide its operations. The mission statement reads as follows: “RAG Technology was founded with the vision of producing innovative and affordable computing solutions to enable people explore and develop themselves in any industry.” From this mission statem
The propaganda movie “Triumph of The Will” hit German theatres on March 28, 1935 at a time when Germany was undergoing a turbulent political and social period. Two years earlier the Nazis led by Adolf Hitler had ascended to power at the height of the Great Depression and assumed office in a democratic but fragile state dating from the Weimer republic. Instability and numerous checks and balances that hampered the viability of a stable government hampered the political climate. Several interest groups were still influential enough to threaten the existence of the Nazi regime and these included the aristocracy, the army, conservative civil servants and politicians as well as internal Nazi threats. The greatest of all the foes that Hitler faced was Ernst Rohm, the commander of the paramilitary SA (Sturmabteilung), and most disgruntled insider of the regime. Rohm and the paramilitary wing of the Nazis were of the opinion that the administration was dragging its feet on the implementation of reforms promised during the 1932 election campaign that brought them to power. The SA also wanted to merge with the army to make a combined security unit under the leadership of Rohm (Ailsby, 2005, p 54). The SA therefore alienated itself from the establishment as more and more conservatives and Nazis piled pressure on the Chancellor to rein them in. As a result, Hitler conducted a purge between June 30 and July 2, 1934 in which he ordered the execution of all perceived rivals in a gruesome episode now remembered as the “Night of the Long Knives”. At the same time, he took the opportunity to neutralize any other opponents not necessarily connected to the SA and its leadership. The social systems in Germany were also under strain as the country reeled from the effects of the Great Depression. The Judiciary was also under attack from Hitler and his cronies as they did away with laws that they felt threatened or hampered their exercise of power. It is in this setting that Germany found itself in late 1934 as the Nazis prepared for their Sixth Party Congress in Nuremberg. Racial Nationalism was the ideology that Hitler intended to proclaim at this mega-convention and its purpose was to consolidate the German people to increase support for the regime. This party congress served as the backdrop for the propaganda film “Triumph of The Will ” directed by Leni Riefenstahl. The purpose of the film was to capture the mass
Introduction Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) commonly affects children and adolescents. Symptoms of this disease include negativistic and hostile behavior, vindictiveness, insurrection, and other modes of associated aggression such as verbal intimidations and physical action (Steiner & Remsing, 2007, p.126). At this stage, these individuals are dependent and ODD can lead to undesirable adulthood. ODD can lead to delinquent behavior, substance abuse, and conduct disorders (CD). Steiner and Remsing (2007) assert that, the aforementioned situation makes ODD assessment and treatment a challenging affair that requires multimodal approaches, including drug and psychosocial therapy (p.126). Because of the complications associated with this disorder, clinicians often encounter challenges in diagnosis and treatment of ODD. Therefore, this paper gives recommendations for child and adolescent patients’ assessment and treatment per the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Recommendations Efficacy A clinician addressing an ODD case should establish therapeutic alliances with the patient and family members for successful assessment and treatment of ODD is sufficient to treat the disorder. ODD therapy can achieve favorable results when the patient (child or adolescent) accept the therapy. It requires coupled efforts from clinicians and family members to compel the patient to accept ODD therapy. Secondly, active consideration of cultural values in diagnosis and treatment of ODD is sufficient to treat the disorder. This recommendation is valid since it determines the compliance of the child and parent to the ODD therapy. Patient’s disrespect and parent’s cultural values may lead to rejection of the therapy. Therefore, clinician should be aware of the existing cultural differences that might hinder the acceptance of the therapy. The third recommendation is adequate to treat ODD because the information can help the clinician establish the risk factors of the disease and develop the relevant intervention. Clinicians can determine root cause of the condition and develop intervention to include elimination of the risk factors from the child’s surroundings; moreover. Addressing the root causes of abuse can produce desirable outcomes. The fourth recommendation is also ample to treat ODD because delineation of co-morbid condition from ODD can help the clinician to establish accurate therapy. Comorbid condition can cause misdiagnosis and mistreatment of ODD. The fifth recommendation regarding inclusion of information from various outside informants is not sufficient to treat the disorder. Outside informants cannot
Huey Long was born on the 13 th of August 1989 in Louisiana. He was the seventh child in the family. His homeland, Winnfield, was located among the poorest parishes found in the state. However, since Huey’s family were farmers who had livestock, they were considered relatively wealthy. “Long was known for his avid reading, photographic memory and an audacious personality with no inhibitions about offering his opinion” (History.com Editors). His character was impeccable, with great confidence and a smart mind. Nothing would hinder him from giving his own opinion. In a debate competition during high school, he won a Louisiana State University scholarship. He attended a Law School but later withdrew to be a traveling salesman. In late 1912, he was arrested for causing a disturbance in Shreveport’s brothels (History.com Editors). Later he claimed that the reason for his arrest was a false accusation of shooting two men. He had gone to Shreveport to propose marriage to Rose McConnell, who she married in April 1913. In 1914, Huey joined Tulane University Law School, where he concentrated on his studies for one year. He then got special permission to sit for an exam at the Louisiana bar, where he passed at 21. After winning the Louisiana Railroad Commission’s seat, Huey used his seat to fight utility rates and monopolies, where he won favor from working people. After four years, he became the Louisiana Public Service Commission chairman and petitioned against the telephone company’s raising rates (“Huey Long Biography”). He contested for gubernatorial seat as a Democrat and lost, but he won the seat later in 1928. He is commended for his effort on improving the healthcare, infrastructure and the education system of Louisiana. Huey was a socialist who campaigned for redistribution of wealth. His controvers
Introduction Corporate security is one of the rapidly growing areas of concern for business organizations. The min perceived risk concerning corporate security includes physical disruption such as those associated with terror activities, particularly to business organizations that heavily rely on technological infrastructure (Allen & Rachelle Loyear, 2017). However, corporate leaders and managers are increasingly becoming aware of the broader scope of maintaining and upholding corporate security (Goncharuk, 2016). Excellent financial management is critical in ensuring the success of the business organization. The advent of globalization has provided greater opportunities for business growth, including potential security risk in managing financial resources, especially owing to the geopolitical instability as evident in the global scene. This report will discuss various aspects of effective corporate security strategy in the financial sector. Overview of Risks in the Banking Sector Firms in the banking industry continue to face numerous financial challenges that can impact negatively on their operations. The large size of some banking institutions, overexposure to risk is major contributors to the collapse of most firms in the sector. It is vital to develop well-constructed risk management infrastructures to aid in prudent risk management (Nadikattu, 2019). The primary risks facing financial institutions include market, liquidity, and operational risks. Effective management of potential threats can permit improved profitability and growth of the business organisation (Schoenmaker, 2017). However, the absence of effective risk management interventions is posing significant challenges to the success of financial institutions in the industry. The capabilities of companies and managers to address risk have negative implications on the investors’ decisions as far as investment is concerned. Lack of robust risk management lowers the profit margin due to losses on credit facilities. Corporate Strategy and Organisational Alignment It is imperative to align corporate security with organizational goals and objectives. The corporate strategy leverages the need to establish more value from the collection of business units as opposed to the individual units (Simonsen, 1996). Executive leaders and managers can leverage functional and organizational resources in attaining such objectives. Organizational alignment describes the need to ensure that various parts of an organization can coordinate their activities to establish integration and synergy among the team members and organizational units. In this context, organizational alignment ensures improved linkage of organizational goals, systems, resources, and processes (Brůha & Kočenda, 2018; (Shyra et al., 2020)). Within the functional security department, it is imperative to promote a mutual understanding of the overarching organization’s strategic intent. Within the organizational settings, it is critical to adopt the crucial to leverage the three mains of the pl
1. Jay Gatsby’s tragic flaw is related to his naïve way of thinking that implies his belief in the ability to buy true feelings. He is an unselfish man who tries to build his happiness, but he uses the wrong foundation for it.  2. Gatsby should have let Daisy go right after her wedding, but this was likely to mean less remarkable achievements for Jay. Gatsby accumulated his wealth to prove he was worth Daisy although she did not deserve that kind of effort.  3. The scene where Nick visits Daisy for the first time shows that he sees her as an ideal and chaste “golden girl” radiating warmth and care (Luhrmann, 2013). However, when he overhears their conversation with Tom who promises to take her away after the accident, he understands that she is a lying shallow spoiled female.  4. Fitzgerald presented women of upper-class as a cohort divided into two groups: silly and beautiful housewives (Daisy) or self-assured belles (Jordan). Men of the same class were also divided into those who were born to it (Tom) and those who worked hard to enter it like Gatsby or Nick.  5. Tom claimed he was an ardent opponent of adultery, but he cheated on his wife. From Tom’s viewpoint, Gatsby could not have an affair with an upper-class married woman due to his origin, but Tom would not see Gatsby’s affair with a lower-class woman in such a negative way.

Daisy tried to make her daughter as shallow and vein as she was since she regarded it as the best way to marry a wealthy man, which was every woman’s dream and destination. In the modern society, this formula is unlikely to be effective as smart and confident women succeed in life.  7. The importance of not getting stuck in one’s past is the most important lesson I learned. People’s early years shape their character, but an individual should always focus on their present that is real instead of being haunted by the ghosts of the past. Reference Luhrmann, B. (Director).

Counter-project, successor-System, Revolution Schweickart inquires whether capitalism is spotted with contradictions or it is a successful system (3). According to the author, moral and pragmatic failures of capitalism are vividly evident in the modern world. Some of the setbacks of this system include extreme inequalities, poverty, pollution, unemployment, crises, and incessant conflicts or wars. The author expounds on a theory that can be used to define and understand the successor system. For the theory to work, it should provide solid arguments that are both practical and functional. The theory should also reflect the past efforts and note mistakes that need to be corrected. Party platforms and setbacks of current reforms should equally be illuminated by the theory. It might be misleading to use old revolution models bearing in mind that they hardly win the struggle against insurrection. In addition, it is crucial to spell out structural alternatives. Past failures and new conditions have informed the modern workers. As it stands now, the battle for reform is rife. Hence, flexibility and diversity will be required by the new emerging theories. Schweickart is also emphatic that the international context will continue to experience radical transitions (10). The transitions have been referred to by the author as the global project that affects the wellbeing of species. There are a number of challenging lessons that have been learned since the era of Karl Marx. In order to comprehend these lessons, it is necessary to compare and contrast socialism both in the 20 th and 21 st centuries. First, the strategic path being followed by nations is primarily to win democratic conflicts. Second, an ecosystem is made up of subsets within an economy. Third, people are sovereign beings while human rights should be considered to be natural. Fourth, transitions require markets, and finally, women play central roles in politics, civil society, and economic development. Besides, economies of scarcity require material incentives. Justifying capitalism Capitalism seems to be justifying itself. It appears that history has not faded away in the realiti
