Arts education is very important for everyone. This area presupposes the awareness of culture, drawings, paintings, music and sculpture. Modern-day arts include photography, film production, video production and computer art (Dinham, 2011, p. 35). There are a lot of researchers who are interested in the influence of art education on the children. Arts develop different skills and it should be noted that children who are interested in arts are more successful at their study. Students with four years arts or music in high school average 100 points better on their SAT scores than students with one-half year or less. They are better in all three portions: math, reading and writing ( 10 Reasons to Support the Arts , n.d.). According to the latest research, it was concluded that students with an education rich in arts had not only higher scores, but better attitude about the community service and lower drop-out rates. These achievements are observed in all students regardless of their socio-economic status. Children who are motivated with arts demonstrate attention skills and strategies for memory retrieval which are very useful for other subjects such as maths and science ( 10 Reasons to Support the Arts, n.d.). According to the research of the neuroscientists from seven American universities, music, dance and drama education develop other students’ skills. Music classes improve skills in geometric representation as well as reading skills and sequence learning. Acting classes improve memory, learning and manipulating language skills. Dance classes are connected with physical practice and improve cognitive skills ( Arts Education and Cognitive Development, 2008). Many U.S. employers point out that creativity is one of the top five skills that is very important in promotion in business sphere. A college degree in the arts is the brightest indicator of creativity. Arts activities are one of the main subjects at college which develops creativity ( Business and School Leaders See the Arts as Key to Preparing Students to Be Creative Workers for the Global Marketplace, n.d.). Students who have studied arts at college are more likely to achieve success in their work and to be promoted. They are more motivated and disposed towards other people as far as culture and arts unite the whole humanity. More than that, students who have rich education in arts are more adapted to the life. They demonstrate themselves as flexible people with high order-thinking and problem solving skills ( Summary of Additional Arts Education Research and Facts,
Introduction The measure of expectancy theory depends on attitude of employees as the only measure for their relationships (DuBrin, 388, 2008). Every person has a different perception of achieving firm’s set targets/goals. They also have various personal targets such as the anticipate goals set during their elevated efforts in performances. The expectancy theory is one of the standardized measures of how people make their own business decisions depending on the differences of behavioural patterns, which determine the alternatives they are likely to choose. These behavioural patterns are known as the motivational forces (MF) over tasks, actions or business conducts, which determines performance (DuBrin, 388, 2008). According DuBrin (388, 2008), Vroom’s Expectancy theory presents the motivational force as a measure that depends on three factors namely, Valence, expectancy and instrumentality. Motivational force is thus a product of the three factors. MF= Valence * Expectancy * Instrumentality Reference of the Expectancy theory The emotional point of reference that each employee has towards satisfactory achievement of personal goals refers to valence. One needs to place some motivating goals such as the rewards they anticipate at the end of the contract. These rewards can be needs, goals or personal values such as better remuneration packages, promotion, and engagement into a program. From the case study, Andrew’s valence was the promised nomination for the firm’s management course, which would provide opportunity for possible posting as a future executive. Andrew anticipated higher income was indirect since his primary concern was possibility of getting promotion to a management position after the firm’s managerial studies. The program sponsored by the company is highly respected since upon completion, successful learners have high possibilities of becoming executives in the firm. Andrew hard and long input hours were in the aim of securing a place at the program. Valence depends on one’s expectations of satisfaction. It is a force that makes people to react differently for a given situation for instance, the position one get appointed to may be having situations that cause a lot of anxiety but one can give in all other aspirations, to achieve the goals amidst crisis. It is individual’s attitude towards determining the motivational levels. These personal perceptions are subject to intrinsic beliefs for instance, a person might shy away from a task or role due to value for personal peace of mind, while those with greater value for money will work towards the goals to enhance their pays. Valence is therefore not the final product or satisfaction that one gets after attaining a goal, but the expectations for some personal goals (DuBrin, 389, 2008). This means that employees who lack motivating factors have zero valences
Introduction The history of music has seen several musical styles which gained incredible popularity and even after their almost complete disappearance still managed to retained loyal fans. One of such musical styles was Rock and Roll that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Everybody knows that Rock and Roll in the history of music was something like a bomb that changed the minds of millions of people. Rock and roll have been made up by gifted and intelligent people, who have become renowned for this. Of course, the first names which come to mind when discussing this musical style are Elvis Presley and the real guru of Rock and Roll, “The Rolling Stones”, who continue their rolling even today. For more than forty years they have been getting their fans and admirers who did not stop loving this music even with its becoming unpopular. Since 1992 the Rock and Roll music has undergone certain changes; the greatest contributions to this musical style were made by Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame becoming the place where this music will always be alive. Discussion Speaking particularly about the development of Rock and Roll, it is necessary to mention, that Rolling Stones is the music band whose work has been part and parcel throughout the whole period of the development of this musical style. Highlighting the development of Rock and Roll since 1992, it is of paramount importance to state that the whole success of this band lasted till the 1990s as the Rolling Stones ended the 1990s with their album Bridges to Babylon , released in 1997 to mixed reviews. The greatest contribution of the Rolling Stones into the Rock and Roll development in the 1990s was that they sustained the popularity of this musical style. They made Rock and Roll attractive for the listeners despite the emergence of new popular music trends. Rolling Stones keep Rock and Roll alive even today when the youth is mostly focused on minimalism expressed through techno and drum-and-bass. Therefore, the Stones’ Bridges to Babylon is the brightest example of Rock and Roll music since 1992. Of no less contribution to the developm
Introduction Many would say that art is an important aspect of human life and it is also a way you can express personal feelings. In history art also plays a vital role in the changes of life over time. But for some, it is also a way you show love and it is even one of the most treasured gifts someone can give to his loved one. This paper is aimed at highlighting the ways and means of classifying and appreciating art, particularly if it’s modern and classic art. Classic Art The classical style of art have been those of portraits, still, life, landscape, and the genre itself were used as subjects for the different forms of artworks. Those that were painted and sculpted were exact images of the objects where the images were patterned after. However, cubists and Fauves followed immediately though it still used the different sensible objects only in such a way that representations of such were used instead of the actual objects. Realism was thought to have a new dynamic and kinetic form that shows action and a different meaning for the audience. But real subjects remained to be the object of cubism and fauvism artists. (Pasmore, 1957) To provide an exact example of how classical art normally looks like: The above-shown painting is Jan Van Eycks “Ghent Altarpiece”. Many see this piece of artwork as a reflection of the community. There’s a picture of female – which is Eva; there’s male – which is Adam; there are the members of the church – the leaders and the followers; there are the activities conducted inside and outside the church. But behind all these scenes or pictures are various stories which are also clear reminders of how we humans act in a very humanly manner. Indeed, Eycks’s painting is very classical in approach. The faces are clear, the scenes and meanings of every scene are very clear to whoever might view this painting. Modern Art Modernism, it was during this time where American artist starting to establish their presence in the field of Arts specifically in paintings. Many Americans during that time either went to France to get a formal study on Arts and improve their skills and be able to have brought those skills once they go back to the US. There were also some instances where French artists would visit the US and then provide some skills enhancement to the country. The French artists which are also known as “wild beast” are among the early radicals that gave greater impact in the world of Art in the year 1905 and it was greatly felt in the US and it provides much ease in the country’s ambitious artists out of their usual academic instead an opportunity to focus on and some of the famous painters during that time which are now considered as icons are Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Arthur Dove (Cotter, Holland, 1997). Modernism is known as the movement in visual arts, music, literature that rejected the old Victorian standards of how art should be made, consumed, and w
The cell phone industry as booming at a tremendous rate and with every passing day new developments can be seen. No contemporary cultural artifact embodies the genius and the disruptive excess of capitalism as clearly as the cell phone. Ubiquitous in most developed societies in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, the cell phone has become a laboratory; some would say an asylum, for testing the limits of technological convergence. Less a telephone today than a multi-purpose computer, cell phones are game consoles, still cameras, email systems, text messengers, carriers of entertainment and business data, nodes of commerce. Particular age cohorts and subcultures have begun to appropriate cell phones for idiosyncratic uses that help to define their niche or social identity. By taking a look at the trend in sales of the past 36 months I was able to apply the least square regression method and come up with the following equation which would allow me to predict the number of cases sold in the upcoming 6 or 12 months (Heizer & Render 2011). This will allow Digital Cell Phone Inc. to predict how many cases to produces every month based on the trends in sales of each month. Regression analysis can be very useful for any company as it helps you statistically put two variables, a dependent and an independent variable against each other and then shows us its result. A linear regression line can also be drawn using the values given in the table below. The slope or gradient of this line would always be 1.42 and the Y- intercept would always be 1.42. The independent variable is X whereas the dependent variable is Y whose outcome is dependent on X as shown in the derived information given below. (Heizer & Render 2011) Y=600 + 1.42 X            sales ( Y )  month ( X ) January    601.42       1           February   602.84       2           March      603.82       3           April      605.68       4           May        607.10
“The Production of Consciousness” and The German Ideology In “The Production of Consciousness,” which is a part of The German Ideology by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the authors explain their understanding of the origins of the contents of the human consciousness, that is, of various ideas, theories, religious views. existing in it (Marx & Engels, 2004). According to Marx and Engels (2004), humans are firmed in the world that they live in. While living in the world, humans produce things; and it is these things that determine the life of a society, its culture, the views and ideologies prevalent in it. Society on the whole, therefore, produces history. This is called the materialist conception of history. (Here, the conception of the history of Marx and Engels sharply contrasts those of most German philosophers of that time, e.g., Hegel, who argued that it is the World Spirit, a very abstract and general entity, that determines the course of history.) As for a separate individual,
Introduction China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In the last three decades, China experienced a rapid growth in its gross domestic product (GDP). This growth was characterized by a rapid expansion of both domestic and foreign companies in China. The companies focused on serving all market segments in order to increase their revenues. This has led to the saturation of most industries in China. Consequently, most Chinese companies have had to look for alternative investment destinations. In this regard, Chinese firms have embarked on overseas investments through acquisitions and foreign direct investments (Mobius 2011). Africa is one of the destinations that have benefited from the Chinese companies’ growth plans. Even though the Chinese companies that are operating in Africa have contributed to economic growth, their operations have always been associated with malpractices such as poor pay. This paper sheds light on the practices that have been employed by the Chinese companies in Africa. The Practices of Chinese Companies in Africa Chinese companies have always been associated with labor malpractices in Africa. Such malpractices include poor pay, long shifts and physical harassment of employees. Workers in Chinese companies often complain of deplorable work environments and exposure to health hazards. These allegations are likely to be true since most of them are based on empirical research findings. However, the occurrence of these malpractices varies from country to country (Polgreen & French 2007). Chinese companies can be found in nearly all African countries. However, complains about labor malpractices or unethical behavior are common in countries with weak governance systems. For example, Zimbabwe is led by a dictatorial regime that has little regard for its citizens’ welfare. Consequently, the government has never taken any disciplinary action on the Chinese companies. On the country, Chinese companies in stable countries such as Kenya and South Africa have hardly been accused of any unethical behavior. Thus, the unethical behaviors of the Chinese companies can be attributed to poor governance in specific countries in Africa. For instance, corruption is one of the factors that prevent most African countries from taking disciplinary action against Chinese companies. It is apparent that not all Chinese companies usually engage in malpractices in Africa. Generally, cases of unethical behavior are common among companies that are operating in labor intensive industries such as the mining sector (Polgreen & French 2007). For example, in Zimbabwe the complaints were raised against a Chinese construction company. This can be attributed to the fact that workers in this sector lack adequate education. Thus, they often tolerate the Chinese malpractices in order to protect their jobs. Finally, the malpractices can be attributed to the business culture of the Chinese companies. Long shifts are common in China where the Confucianism philosophy encourages hard work. Africa’s Attra
Introduction Sunday in the park is about two families who are Morton, his wife and child Larry and another family a man who is a bully, his wife and a child known as Joe. The setting is in a park on a Sunday afternoon and Morton is reading a Times Magazine while Joe’s father is reading a comics book. In the beginning of the story, one thinks that the story is about Morton’s happy family, but the story reveals that there might be trouble in the family. The end of the story shows that there are unsaid things like Morton’s wife seems disappointed by her husband because she thinks that he is weak. Sunday in the park is a very descriptive story that gives the reader a mental image of what the narrator is feeling in the surroundings of the plot of the story. The narrator is also the protagonist, is the wife to the gentleman in the story who is known as Morton. The narrator goes to the park on a Sunday afternoon with her family, her husband and her child. This paper will explore characters in the book ‘Sunday Park’ that cause lack of communication (para1 line 5). Body The beginning of the story gives the reader a clear mental image of the environment in the park whereby, it is peaceful and the weather is conducive for a family to enjoy their free time outdoors. The narrator portrays the attitudes of two particular families in the park and describes one as polite and good and the other one portrayed as being bad. The ‘good family’ is represented by Morton and his wife. Morton reads the Time magazine which shows him to be learned and intelligent (Kaufman 2). As he reads, he has one arm around his wife. Morton’s wife watches her son Larry as he plays in the park. At that moment, Larry is playing in the sandbox. This creates the impression that the Morton’s family is happy and lives the ideal life that any American family would like to live. The boy from the other family whose name is Joe is described as having thrown sand at Larry and his father did not look up although he must have heard the commotion and must have known that his son was involved. After reading ‘Sunday in the park,” the reader gets the impression that the author might have wanted to pass the message that an individual should stand for their beliefs. Morton is reasonable and rational which might be suggested by his profession. Morton is a professor at the university. He is intelligent and he physically appears pale and timid which creates the impression that he does not like confrontation. His physical structures also suggest that he might not be a confident individual. When Joe the chubby boy throws sand at Larry who is Morton’s son (para 2 l 1), the mother wants to tell the chubby bully not to throw sand at her son but she does not want to seem like she is interfering in her child’s play. Morton’s wife tries to tell
