Introduction Corporate philanthropy is the contribution that business makes to the general population using its finances as part of its corporate social responsibility. The activities undertaken by the organization will have a positive impact on the lives of the beneficiaries and sometimes even the business itself. Most businesses are involved in various philanthropic activities, which vary depending on the community’s main problems and the business’s interests. In addition, the philanthropic activities are usually focused on improving the quality of life of the workforce of the company, their families and the general population where the company operates or may be intending to operate in future. It may also be targeting the environment in which the organization operates through the improvement of the natural resources of the area that the organization operates in. primarily, corporate philanthropy can be undertaken through various means, which include giving gifts (products of the company or other company’s product), and having the employees of the company doing various activities which benefit the general community e.g. cleanup of the area near the organization. In addition, an organization can directly be involved in the philanthropic activities or may form a foundation to carry out its philanthropic activities. These foundations are not involved in any business activities; their sole purpose is managing the philanthropic activities, with funding from the parent organization (Anheier, H K and List R 2005 p 67). However, corporate philanthropy is not only a means of giving back to the community it also benefits the company in various ways. Principles of Business sustainability and development Principles of sustainability explain the measures that an organizations need to put in place to ensure that they are to able cater for the current needs without having to compromise their ability to meet the needs in future (Landrum, Landrum and Edwards, 2009, p 3). In addition, organizations can ensure their sustainability by properly controlling and improving their main assets. These assets can generally be classified into: Capital provided by nature: the organization should ensure that its activities do not create damage to nature. The organization must ensure that its activities are nature friendly. A good example is where
Introduction Death is one of the inevitable aspects of life, and all human beings will go through the process at some point in their life. Although death physically separates individuals from their family and friends for good, it can be motivational. It can be the reason to live well with others, do good to anyone, a reason to correct yourself, and stay healthy always. Human beings do not like death, but it gives a sense of awareness that the end is the same; what matters is how one spends their life Death is a powerful force, and it may be the only thing on the earth that can change the world (Vajta 24). Devastating as it may seem, death has a surprising amount of power. It is the only thing over which human beings have no control. If it is the time for a person to die, they will die; nothing can change it. Main body Death is the most agonizing experience when it involves the people you cherish. When a loved one passes away, people are left wondering why it happened and trying to ignore the same. It is normal to be filled with resentment, wondering why you were not able to be there with them. Instead of dwelling on the fact that they are no longer alive, a mature person accepts the conclusion and considers what they would want you to do in their honor if a loved one passes away. You will be able to utilize death as a motivator if you approach it with an open mind. When one is about to give up, they will hear the voice of their departed loved one telling them not to worry. Typically, no human is ready to die, and most people wish to live forever, and that is why it is essential to cherish all moments. This essay will explore the significance of death in the human experience of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet , the poem I heard a Fly Buzz – When I died, and A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery. These works give a more understanding of the theme of death from different perspectives. The story of Hamlet is centered on an important topic that depicts a never-ending emotional conflict. In the story, death permeates every scene, from the opening scene’s confrontation with the Ghost of a dead man to the final scene’s carnage, which claims the lives of nearly every significant character (Shakespeare 1-206). There are many deaths in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but his fascination with death and the Ghost of King Hamlet is visible in his depiction of the issue. Hamlet is perpetually preoccupied with death and contemplates it from a variety of angles. While the idea of self-harm fascinates and repulses him, he is equally entranced by death’s physical reality, as evidenced by the famous gravedigger scene (
The problem Language barrier has been recognized as a major cause of racial and ethnic disparity of health provision (Woloshin, 1995). The ability of the patients to communicate effectively with the staff in a healthcare agency is of uttermost importance for several and obvious reasons. From the very beginning of the encounter between the patient and the clinician, the latter has to be able to extract accurate and detailed clinical history; otherwise, it would be very difficult to make the correct diagnosis. Consequently, there is an overrepresentation of people with poor English proficiency in the misdiagnosed cases in the United States healthcare system. Secondly, at some point in the course of treatment, the doctor is usually required to give the patient detailed information regarding the regime or self-care; in some medical cases, failure to understand sections of this information may lead to serious and even potentially fatal consequences. While a patient may be confused by the complexity of medical information even when they have excellent English proficiency, it is unfortunate how a language barrier can compound this problem. Additionally, crucial decisions on the part of the patient may be hard to make; including issues such as giving consent for surgical procedures if the correct information is not relayed. It has been shown that among the patients that stand experience of a potentially fatal event during hospitalization, those with poor English proficiency are overrepresented in this group (Dobson, 2007). It has been therefore recognized that the absence of trained medical interpreters in American hospitals is putting such needy patients at an elevated risk compared to their proficient contemporaries. Some of the healthcare provision agencies have tried to remedy this anomaly; however, this has not been an industry initiative; only 25% of such facilities have programs to train medical interpreters. To make matters worse, extremely few medical professionals have the right training to work with a medical interpreter (Sobralske et al, 2008). The current conformation of the American population is telling in the manner which the health provision sector needs to provide interpretation services to their clients. About 18% of all Americans have a second language other than English; therefore, there are over 100 languages spoken in the United States (Sobralske et al, 2008). Additionally, approximately 20 million people are categorized as having limited proficiency in English; and in 2000 they accounted for about 8% of the total American population. This may seem like a big chunk of the population; however, the most alarming fact is that just a decade before this, t
Introduction Protestantism emerged in Europe at the beginning of the 16th century as the opposition to the Roman Catholic Church and based on the belief in personal faith and the connection to God. Reformation had a direct impact on art as it undermined all the traditions of iconography. As Gardner and Kleiner note, Protestants believed that “representations of Christ, the Virgin, and saints could lead to idolatry” (p. 280.) Although Albrecht Dürer was influenced by Italian Renaissance art, he often referred to the ideas of Protestantism. Main body Dürer’s Four Apostles represent the artist’s support for Protestantism, especially Lutheranism. The first detail that speaks of it lies in the positioning of the apostles. Saint Peter and Saint Paul, who represent the Roman Catholic Church, are placed behind the evangelists John and Mark as Protestantism recognizes Gospel as its primary source. Moreover, Dürer’s apostles bear portraitlike features that oppose to the traditional imagery of catholic icons. The artist also added the quotations of the verses from the New Testament under each panel. The meaning of these inscriptions concerns the warning against false prophets whom Protestants were believed to come from the Catholic Church.
Claudia Lady Bird Johnson is quoted as saying: “Art is the window to man’s soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world, nor could the world see the man within”. It has been rightly pointed out that imagination is the most important and most intriguing characteristic of human beings. It is the link between the conscious and subconscious, permitting an exploration of the inner being to satisfy the craving to see beyond the ordinary in an effort to comprehend the ever-changing human body/mind as well as the exterior world (Fortunecity.com). Art is easily the most important and intriguing manifestation of human imagination. It is a universal medium used by human beings since time immemorial, right from cavemen telling stories via pictures drawn on cave walls, to later year artists passing along historical events via drawings, paintings, sculptures, and architecture (Seminole Community College). It has been famously saying of the great artist Rembrandt that when he drew a picture, it was as if his inner spirit or soul was actually moving the pencil (Fortunecity.com). Artists are gifted with the ability to self-expression. They represent their feelings, thoughts, and experiences through their works. By spawning the creation of such art, artists permit others to see the world through their eyes (Seminole Community College). When artists make drawings or paintings, it is not only to bring into existence a picture but also to create a feeling or mood that is more than just a mundane moment in life, which spawns some sort of emotion within artists that they hope will be replicated in the viewers of their art. Their pictures outwardly represent aspects of the immediate world, but inwardly portray the emotions and thoughts that well from the depths of the artists’ souls. Good examples of this statement are the paintings of American painter Maxfield Parrish and Spanish painter Joan Miro, as well as a famous painting of the incomparable Dutchman Vincent Van Gogh entitled ‘Starry Night.’ Parrish utilized tube colors to painstakingly paint his costumed models, meticulously varnishing every layer of color thereby providing phosphorescence mixed into a
What type of franchise was Del Rey’s La Grande Enchilada restaurant? Del Rey’s La Grande Enchilada restaurant was a business format franchise. This is the kind of franchise whereby the business persons uses the brand name of the franchisor. Del Rey was required to use the business system and model embraced by La Grande Enchilada. It was mandatory for Del Rey to embrace the procedures and stipulations provided by the parent restaurant. The business owner adopted similar recruitment methods, safety precautions, and business practices. The franchisor’s representatives inspected Del Rey’s restaurant every month to ensure it complied with the major provisions and practices. By so doing, Del Rey’s franchise would be able to record positive results. If Del Rey operates the restaurant as a sole proprietorship, who bears the loss for the damaged kitchen? Explain. The presented case study shows clearly that Del Rey operates his business as a sole proprietorship. That being the case, it becomes quite clear that Del Rey is the one who should bear the loss for the damaged kitchen. Sole proprietorship franchises are usually guided by specific legal frameworks. For instance, the control of every sole franchise business is something that lies directly in the hands of the businessperson who has contracted the model. This means that the individual will control aspects such as legal responsibilities and business objectives. The franchise-agreement only presents the business model that has the potential to deliver positive results. Del Rey will, therefore, be responsible for the loss of the kitchen. Assume that Del Rey files a lawsuit against La Grande Enchilada, claiming that his franchise was wrongfully terminated. What is the main factor that a court would consider in determining whether the franchise was wrongfully terminated? The presented case indicates that Del Rey’s franchise would terminate in a month for failing to follow the prescribed safety precautions and procedures. The case shows clearly that Del Rey can file a lawsuit against La Grande Enchilada for wrongful termination. During the proceedings, the court would consider the facts behind the targeted matter. Before arriving at a fair judgment, the court should examine the source of the fire and the franchise’s adherence to La Grande Enchilada’s operating model. According to the operating manual, the workers should ensure towels are placed at least one foot from grills. The case shows that the oiled towel was placed two feet from the grill at the time it caught fire. This fact indicates that the franchise followed the company’s practices and requirements. After the incident, La Grande Enchilada chose to terminate the franchise because of Del Rey’s non-adherence to the operat
Establishing Credibility My dear colleagues, it is my pleasure to address you on a topic that might highly affect the rates at which our organization is performing. To understand why the company needs this kind of change, one would have to grasp the topic itself. The problem that I am indicating is the lack of technological advances in our working processes. As it seems now, the organization may significantly lag behind the more advanced competitors that have already implemented necessary technology to improve their performance and lower expenses. However, it is most important to know what kind of benefits the new technology brings to the table. Firstly, modern technology may profoundly decrease primary, secondary and tertiary risks that often occur in our line of duty. The processes that the organization is obliged to maintain sometimes are of a highly hazardous nature. Therefore, it is the responsibility of effective and efficient leadership to negate these obstacles to provide the workers with a possibility to fully perform their duties without having to always worry about their well-being. Secondly, there is simply not enough time to waste thinking on whether or not new technology must be implemented. The decisions must be made quickly and precisely, and it is exactly what modern technology may ensure. Framing the Common Ground It is also important to know how the implementation of new technology may benefit everybody individually. The advantages and benefits are rather easy to grasp. The reason behind this desire to implement new technology is that we would spend less money on various risk-management and hazard elimination processes. Simply put, new technology effectively reduces expenses. Therefore, the incomes will increase which would mean that the overall profits that the organization is making would also allow everybody to make more money. Even if monetary improvements are not enough, it is simply much more comforting to know that one is working in a safer environment. Thus, although it would require almost unnoticeable investments, the implementation of modern technology will result in far greater benefits. Providing Evidence According to Karim and Arif-Uz-Zaman (2013), one of the factors that push organizations to produce high-quality products in shorter terms is rapid improvements in technology. As stated by the authors, some assembly processes require as much as sixty-two minutes to be completed. However, new technology provides a much-desired cut in time spendin
Introduction Western industrialization had its socio-economic impacts in the 18th century. The industrialization evolution led to a change of social structures within the society (Armesto 31). During the 18th century, people lived in villages located in rural areas. An increase in rural-urban migration was evidenced during the industrialization era. Individuals lived as farmers since agriculture was a predominant occupation. In this regard, subsistence farming was not an economic venture compared to recent times. Through industrialization, social structures that supported communism were altered by capitalistic ideologies. For example, people started to farm for economical gains. This led to establishments of factories that bought farm inputs and processed them for sale in market set-ups. Body Another social set-up that changed during the industrialization era was the conventional division of labor between men and women. Industrialization oversaw women and children get employed to address the rising demand of labor in factories (597). Industrialization in the 18th century led to adoption of mechanized farming as a new economic venture (629). The establishment of textile factories and iron smelting were considered new economic gains. Moreover, a need to improve communication was evidenced by new modes of transport and communication technologies. Trading in goods and services became predominant, and trans-regional trading between nations was considered a norm. Industrialization is credited for promoting democratic principles in the 18th century (682). The democratic principle of human rights to both women and children was established. In this regard, women became a significant factor in providing labor to new factories. In the 18th century, education became critical in supporting the new industrial mechanization developments. Education that focused on technology and mechanization became popular (621). Formation of governments that either used capitalism and communism as democratic principles rapidly spread among nations. In this regard, civilized nations developed by sourcing labor from citizens. On the other hand, nations that embraced communism liberated the labor force through shared rewards among the community members. The industrialization era of the 18th century promoted political democracy in civilized countries. This led to the formation of political parties and democratically held elections (673). Constitutionalism became an integral element in protection of civil liberties and an effective judicial system (673). Since the industrialization evolution in the 18th century, political decisions were made by the majority. However, protecting the rights of the minority was highly upheld and enforced through constitutional laws. In the 18th century, industrialization inhibited the progress made in democratic principles and practices. Industrialization led to oppression of women and children rights. Women were forced to work long hours with minimal payment compared to men. Moreover, there were job positions considered a preserve of men only. Moreover, indu
Introduction When you analyze the Task Stimulus illustration, it is possible to observe a group of people that are sitting around the table and attempting to assemble a puzzle in the shape of a human head. The head, in this particular case, mirrors the personal identity that, as well as puzzles, needs to be compiled into pieces. In general, identity is a combination of features and values that distinguishes one member or party from another. Experiences, emotions, interactions, and beliefs are all elements of it. Identity is not laid down from birth but is formed throughout life since it is based on the connection with different social spheres that provoke the adoption of experience and sharing of views and ideas. Accordingly, the human’s perception of their relation to some conviction or opinion is influenced by both people and context, which are combined into institutions. Even if someone is a “couch potato”, he will certainly feel the surrounding that tends to stick to him like glue. Identity Formation To my mind, a person is a social being that is a part of the global community and is forced to communicate and interact with the outside world. During adolescence, identity formation is a critical developmental stage with various public health consequences (Schwartz & Petrova, 2018). While shaping the identity, the influence of adult role models is essential. It gives patterns for youth to set up their identification, and if the positive role examples are absent, youngsters acquire a confused or unpleasant sense of individuality (Schwartz & Petrova, 2018). I suppose that people who influence the formation of the identity are directly the representatives of the institutions that cooperate with an individual from their date of birth. For example, the education system, which includes human presence, plays one of the key roles in shaping identity since it provides the children with a system of values, attitudes, and knowledge. Individuals form groups that later expand to the level of social institutions, which create the external environment of each person. I strongly believe that the context of an action is a framework that encompasses it and offers resources for its correct understanding. Identity can be built not only with the assistance of the surrounding world and people but also in the context of a particular situation, which varies. For instance, young individuals in Western countries who are unable to integrate their multiple identities (gender, ethnicity, religion) and functions into an internally coherent whole are more inclined to disclose poor well-being and depression complaints (Schwartz & Petrova, 2018). In other terms, I think it is essential to pay attention to the context of the development of individuality in order to estimate its effectiveness. In the context of the family, a person can feel like a part of their environment of relatives and friends. By contrast, they, for example, experience discrimination at school based on ethnicity, so they are embarrassed to correspond to the group of people they represent, grounded on their family’s history. Consequently, in my opinion, the same persona is able to demonstrate d
