Introduction Fire safety center for children is a non governmental organization that offers civic education to the community to ensure that instances of children being victims of fire accidents are minimized. In addition, the facility offers medical services free of charge to children who are victims of fire accidents. Besides these two functions, the centre also serves as a home for children who lose their parents to fire accidents (Bernard, 2007). The headquarters of the organization will be in Chicago, Illinois and have a centre in the same city. It will have branches as it expands with the main target of its operations being in Kenya, East Africa and other African nations. The choice of the countries of operation especially those in Africa is heavily determined by the fact that this continent is large, the poverty levels are largely deplorable and most of the families down there can barely afford to feed their children. In the United States, families are sizable and most of the American parents are in a position to provide most of the security needs that their children would ever want. In Africa however, things are different, instances of political instability cause make rival group to intimidate each other by setting rival houses’ ablaze. Innocent children and the old helplessly burn to death in such occasions. The organization is not going to seek political indulgence in the African countries but it will offer the much needed services to salvage the continent from a possible oblivion that bacons it as a result of recklessness politics. Kenya is the economic hub of the region of East and Central Africa, as such it is likely to be a better place to run a branch of the organization as well as create a regional centre. The country has one of the best road networks and this would make transportation in and out of the country a lot easier than in neighboring countries. Destitute children who will pioneer the program will be picked from the neighboring countries and centered in the country until the organization has taken foot enough to establish branches in other parts of the region (Johnston, 1991). The organization will be envisioned in the call for equal service delivery in an attempt to give hope to the hopeless and a home to the homeless. The vision statement of the organization will be, “To offer the society an alternative parent so as to safe guards the future of Africa”. The vision statement is relevant to the entrepreneurial project because it sounds convincing enough to make a potential sponsor or a donor to support the activities of the organization. The vision statement does not seek any involvement of politicians. Africa is a highly politicized society that each and every activity will be considered as
In the sermon Intellect, the Instrument of Religious Training, John Henry Newman persuades his congregation that intellectual knowledge and religion should not be alienated (Newman 85). Newman is an icon in the history of the Church of England. He was a priest and an intellect. He wrote several religious articles in the 19 th century (Hasson 1). Newman was a key founder of the Catholic University of Ireland. The above-mentioned sermon was delivered at the University Church, Dublin in 1856 (Guiley 65). In the sermon, Newman explores the risk of self-sufficiency, which is the notion that an individual can exist without God. Academic tone, analogy, comparison, and similes are the techniques employed by Newman to deliver a strong and persuasive sermon. This rhetorical analysis paper focuses on Newman’s sermon on the feast of St. Monica in the year 1856. Based on the sermon’s delivery location, the sermon was conveyed to university students and staff. The sermon was delivered to individuals who shared different views with the preacher. In his sermon, Newman believes that a number of intellects separate intellectual knowledge from religion. He persuades them that the two fields should not be separated, and that they have coexisted peacefully from time immemorial (Ker 67). Newman was very knowledgeable with his subject. This gave him the adequate credibility to convince his congregation that religion and intellect should not be separated. As such, he notifies the congregation that his sermon do not dispute the common doctrines held by intellects. According to his arguments, the differences between religion and intellect have resulted in controversies. His main wish is for the two fields to unite and coexist in harmony (Ker 67). He is successful at convincing undergraduates about the importance of religion in their lives. His opinions were well organized and they were made more appealing with the use of logos and pathos. Newman commences his sermon using an analogy to aid the audience understanding of the character of St. Monica. He asserts that St. Monica was not a teacher, evangelist, or a bishop and did not own an office, but was a widow who spent sleepless nights praying and wandering for her son to be brought back to life. Similarly, Newman asserts that after her son was brought back to life, he did not only become a saint but also a physician. Through this stylistic device, the preacher is able to put across the character of St. Monica by using the blueprint of teacher, evangelist, bishop, and administrator as a starting point for understanding her identity. Similarly, Newman con
Introduction In his book, A Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold explores conservation of natural resources. Leopold is trying to get across a salient message of conserving the natural resources particularly the sustainable use of land. In the first twelve chapters of the book, Leopold describes how seasons and living things affect the environment; middle chapters deal with his expedition observations of the environment while the last chapters deal with land sustainability. He brings the concept of land ethics as the sustainable use of land because to him, “a thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise” (Leopold 269). The land ethics involve all ecological factors that are necessary to perpetuate the life of living organisms sustainably in all generations. Conservation of natural resources is still relevant in the current world as envisaged by Aldo Leopold in his book, A Sandy County Almanac . The Ecosystem To make the reader understand the concept of environment and necessity to conserve it, Leopold describes seasonal variation in terms of months through environmental changes, which occur throughout the year. The descriptions take the reader into a deep thought in a bid to understand the complex environmental changes and factors that affect it. The wide descriptions and expeditions make him realize the importance of conserving environment and he convincingly advises the Americans to conserve the environment. He unravels the intricate link between man and environment as he argues that, “conservation is a state of harmony between men and land” (Leopold 271). The harmonious coexistence of living things in the environment signifies healthy living for the present and coming generation. He further argues human freedom and health depends on the availability of safe environment where plants can vigorously grow and animals enjoy their fruits. These recommendations are still valid and relevant in the current society. Aldo Leopold ideas form the basis of modern ecological studies. What raises much of his concern about the environment is the way people seemed to act in utter ignorance as they constantly destroy environment. In his efforts, he seeks to educate people on the dangers of destroying the natural resources without considering the future generation. He wants to “change the role of Homo sapiens from conqueror of the land-community to plain member and citizen of it” (Leopold 75). Due to the current pressing issues of the environment such as global warming, changing rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, emerging diseases and diminishing species, the whole world has come to the realization of the need to conserve natural resources for the benefit of humanity. World bodies such the United Nations are putting measures that will mitigate impending calamities due to destruction of the enviro
Enterprise management System This system internally and externally integrates management information in organizations. In takes place in an entire organization touching on various departments such as finance and accounting, customer service, sales and marketing. According to Sheldon, the main aim of installing ERP’s in organizations is to help the smooth flow of information within organizations and other external stakeholders so that business transactions and functions can take place smoothly (2005 p. 347). The system runs on special software designed with databases where the information is stored and accessed by authorized parties at various levels. ERP use in Airports According to Hamilton, airports such as Sharjah implement ERP systems as part of their business support programs to help in the reduction of their existing systems, elimination of business processing and data constraints as well as supporting business support functions crucial in the running of the airport (2003, p. 205). Stolzer et al says that implementation of ERP in airports usually involves drastic changes to organizational processes, practices and staff. Full-fledged implementation is preceded by consulting, customization and support by the implementing companies that have been chose (2008, p. 167). Implementation Team The implementation of ERP at Sharjah Airport is expected to take approximately two years. The process will involve process preparation, configuration, customization, data implementation, data migration and extensions. The implementation will be spearheaded by an external team from Oracle and an internal team working under the information technology department. The Oracle team will comprise t Of a project manager, business consultants of not more than four people and program developers. Business consultants will help in the engineering aspect as well as configuration of the production and supply chains of Sharjah Airport. The internal team from Sharjah airport on the other hand will have a project manager, business analysts, program developers, engineers form various departments data migration experts, representatives from planning and configuration, supply chain management and production depar
Introduction The question of the right ways of ensuring that the rules that govern the society accomplish justice is an intriguing one even to the most advanced civilizations all over the globe. Scholars adopt various ways in their interpretation of what constitutes justice. They have also come up with the necessary ingredients that form part of the characteristics of political systems to ensure that justice is availed to every member of the society irrespective of the existing social differences. One of such an approach is to perceive justice as a way of ensuring maximization of welfare or rather utilities to facilitate happiness for the wider society. The paper examines the four principles about justice that Sandel defends in What Is the Right Thing to Do . Later, it presents a response about Sandel’s proposals. It also provides a clear explanation of what policy, law or moral principle that two authors in Justice: A Reader would defend on that topic alongside the writer’s opinion on the same. Examination of Sandel’s proposal Among the principles, which may lead to the achievement of justice, which Sandel immensely defends include the citizenship, sacrifice and services, the moral limits of the markets, inequality, solidarity and civic virtue, as well as politics of moral engagement. According to Sandel, the utilitarian approach faces two significant defects. Sandel argues that this approach “makes justice and rights as a matter of calculation, not a principle” (Sandel “Justice: What is the right thing to do” 260). This argument is somehow crucial. This holds when one bears in mind that accomplishment of justice needs people to have priory established and laid out rules and regulations that he/she has to follow to arrive at what is right. The second defect of utilitarian perception of justice according to Sandel is that it “tries to translate all human goods into single, uniform measure of value. This flattens them and takes no account of the qualitative differences among them” (Sandel “Justice: What is the right thing to do” 260). To resolve these defects, there is a need for a different interpretation of the right things that one ought to do to arrive at a just and fair society. One of such a different approach would require the interpretation of justice from the concepts of freedoms of choice. Unfortunately, Sandel argues that this approach solves the first defect of the utilitarian approach of justice interpretation. It fails to solve the second problem since the theories based on freedoms of choice “don’t require one to question or challenge the preferences and desires he/she brings to public life” (Sandel “Justice: What is the right thing to do” 261). Citizenship, sacrifice and services encompass one of the principles that Sandel, immensely defends. He claims that it has the capacity to render the society more just. For people to engage in activities that promote and inculcate the highest sense of communalism, they need to inculcate some sense on citizenship. A second attribute is pl
Aubry, P., Guillemain, M., & Sorrenti, M. (2020). Increasing the trust in hunting bag statistics: why random selection of hunters is so important. Journal of Ecological Indicators , 117 , 1-13. Web. Aubry et al. (2020) investigate the reliability of hunting bags, a data source for studies on harvested species in reporting population abundance, and the use of such data, including the study of predator-prey relationships, population fluctuation, and game species. The article provides approaches to assessing the rate of hunting with specific numbers obtained in the previous hunting bags while discussing the validity and comparison of each method. Authors show that different hunting statistics are biased following the volunteer approach through online and phone interviews and questionnaires, leading to wrong and subjective wildlife harvesting indicators. The study is essential in the study providing estimated data on hunting to support an argument on the extent of the activity and, therefore, its impact on humans, society, economic growth, and income. The statistics and view on the partial data are essential to verify and defend other information from other researches in the study about the nature and extent of hunting alongside the journey on hunting in the US. Bilgic, A., Florkowski, W. J., Yoder, J., & Schreiner, D. F. (2008). Estimating fishing and hunting leisure spending shares in the United States. Journal of Tourism Management , 29 (4), 771-782. Web. Bilgic et al. (2008) investigate the relationship between spending on hunting and fishing for leisure in the US, arguing that the two compliments each other with a projected decline in hunting for fishing following differences in expenses and income. The article provides details about the economic benefits of hunting, including payment from the entrance fee and transport cost to the site that has increased following a decrease in Americans’ leisure time. Although hunting and fishing provide the same benefits to a tourist and a hunter, fishing is taking over hunting due to low expenses and more economic benefits, although there is increased income from the activity. The source supports the argument on hunting’s economic benefits, including income to the government through tourism and wages to locals through activities and other related services. The article will also guide in concluding the best approach to control hunting following information on alternative activities, fishing with similar benefits but fewer risks to the environment.

The modern age is supposed to become the epoch of tolerance and democracy. Majority of states in the world should choose a democratic form of government to guarantee the involvement of citizens of a state in the political process and preserve their rights. With this in mind, this form of government is intensively promoted and recommended for all countries in the world. There are certain models which have already been applied to the structure of the majority of states of the Western world, and they are usually taken as very efficient. That is why these counters comprise special organizations which watch observation of the main norms of democracy in the whole world. Moreover, there is one more reason for promoting the development of democracy in the world. This kind of government is always considered to be the most peaceful if to compare with other forms. There are several reasons for this statement. First of all, there is a democratic peace theory, which states that countries with this form of government do not have military conflicts with each other (Placek para 1). Moreover, it is more difficult for them to enter the war as. Theoretically, it is for people to decide whether to do it or not. That is why it is widely believed that democracy leads to a more secure world by avoiding military conflicts and trying to solve problems only with negotiations and persuading. However, I can’t entirely agree with this very statement. To my mind, democracy has proved that it is helpless when it faces some real challenges. There are several reasons for this statement, which we are going to analyze. First of all, it is necessary to give a clear definition of this term. Democracy is considered to be the form of government which means that people, who live in a state, have the whole power (“Defining Democracy” para. 1). However, it is an only theoretical definition which has nothing in common with the real state of affairs. In a coherent society, people do not have real power, which is usually concentrated in the hands of the President or Parliament. With this in mind, it should be said that people have very few remedies to change something in the political system of their country. Nevertheless, democratic peace theory is still a very popular concept nowadays, which is often taken as the first step of establishing peace worldwide. According to this theory, democracies are more peaceful in their international relations (Reiter para. 1). Serving as a good example for the rest of countries, democracies are supposed to promote peace and democratic form of government worldwide. However, it isn’t easy to agree with this statement. Being the world’s brightest representatives of democratic states, The USA and members of the European Union, though, took part in many military conflicts all over the world (Rummel para. 7). There are different reasons for these conflicts, and they are still very disputable. However, the fact remains. The world’s most appreciated democracies are constantly involved in some military conflicts. That is why it becomes obvious that democracy does not lead to promoting peace. However, there is one more r
Critical appraisal of the competing drivers of diversity into organizational strategy and policy The Abu Dhabi Health Service Company plays a very critical role in ensuring that every citizen of this great country has access to affordable Medicare through a mandatory health insurance policy. The firm employs numerous people to work in various departments as it seeks to achieve success in making medical products accessible to all. The firm has been experiencing a trend where diversity is increasingly becoming common. The United Arab Emirates, especially the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, has experienced an influx of immigrants coming from all over the world for various reasons. The trend has seen cases where this firm employs people from different cultural and social backgrounds. According to a report by Unceta and Medrano (2010), SEHA is one of the firms in the Middle East that have been keen on hiring highly skilled employees to help improve their service delivery. The emphasis that was previously laid on citizens of the country has been relaxed as the firm tries to improve its efficiency. This has increased the diversity of its workforce. Managing diversity in the workplace is one of the most challenging tasks. The management of SEHA has to ensure that it understands its employees and provides a perfect environment where they can undertake their duties without feeling intimidated. According to Vedder (2006), when managing employees from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, there are a number of factors that should be considered. For instance, religious beliefs and practices cannot be ignored by the management. Muslims always consider Fridays as a holy day meant for prayers. As such, the management will need to ensure that they take this day off work to go and pray. Among the Christians, the official day of prayer is always on Sunday. They can afford to work on any other day of the week, but they have to be given a day-off every Sunday so that they can go to church. Hindus and Buddhists also have their special days of prayer. To some managers, this may be an insignificant issue that can easily be ignored. Given that this country is predominantly Islamic, everyone can be given a day-off on Fridays. However, what such a manager will be ignoring is the fact that some of the employees highly cherish their day of prayer. They may agree to follow the set guidelines, but this may affect their morale. They will consider the management autocratic and unconcerned about their religious needs. It is clear that managing competing drivers of diversity may be challenging. However, they have to be incorporated into organizational strategy and policy. The management can come up with a flexible strategy that allows the employees to choose any day of the week when they feel they have to spend the whole day away from their normal duties. This will be a sign that the firm appreciates the diversity that exists at the
