Introduction Modern schooling systems around the world are currently working to involve parents in school and community activities. It is true for the UAE, as well. Research shows that parental involvement is beneficial not only for grades of their own children but for other children as well. Seeing real adults and hearing about the world from them is good for students, as they become more prepared for the challenges that await them in the real world. Extracurricular school activities and community events are some of the areas in which parents are able to contribute. In UAE, National Day is one of the biggest national holidays, which is marked by a vacation for students. Nevertheless, this holiday is an opportunity for parental involvement in numerous schooling and community activities, which will open their doors to those who wish to spend their free time learning. This paper is dedicated to identifying areas and activities throughout the year in which parents play a critical role. National Day Celebrations In the UAE, National Day is celebrated yearly on 2nd December. The holiday is meant to commemorate the creation of the Union, which happened on 2nd December of 1971 when various emirates have agreed to unite and build together one powerful, sovereign nation. This holiday is celebrated by demonstrations, manifestations, air shows, and military parades. Parent involvement during these festivities is paramount. By introducing their children to the culture and traditions of UAE, they promote patriotism and love for one’s own history, people, and country, which is important for individual growth and for the prosperity of the country in general. Parental roles in this event are revealed on both individual and communal levels – parents educate their children on the rules and traditions of their people, before bringing them to the celebration. At the celebration, they safeguard the children, establish order, and ensure that the celebrations are proceeding accordingly. Abu Dhabi Reading Programs In 2013, Abu Dhabi launched the “Abu Dhabi Reads” program, which is a program for students and children to be acquainted with national and world literature and enhances their reading and writing skills. This program endorses numerous schools and other learning facilities in order to facilitate cooperation and get more children to attend the project. Parents have a very important role in this venture’s success. Parents may instill reading culture in a child from a very young age, and encourage it throughout various stages of development. By attending Abu Dhabi Reads, parents would be showing an example to their children and all other children around them. As it has been proven many times before, parental influence plays a pivotal role in promoting education among their children. In addition to this, parents can acquaint their children with a reading by introducing them to Abu Dhabi Reads, as some students are simply unaware of the program. To summarize, in this area, par
Abstract The digitalization of nearly every aspect of life, which started in the last quarter of the twentieth century, has had an impact on nearly every aspect of normal human life. The world today is on the verge of technology, and nearly all processes are being digitalized. For example, people are now using online banking, online booking of rooms and air tickets, online dating, and so forth. The education sector has not been left behind since it is in this era that we have the online application of degree courses, e-learning facilities, and online studies, among other digitalized education services. Digitalization in the education fields has created a new class of learners known as digital students. With the increased use of technology in delivering educational services, most students in this era and age fall within this new breed of learners. This paper defines who the digital students are and outline the differences that exist between them and previous-generation counterparts. Introduction Digital students can be defined as young adults who have been raised up in an environment where they enjoy active participation in technology as an everyday aspect of their lives (Shelly, Gunter, & Gunter, 2010, p. 15). The technology they are exposed to include the daily use of computers in their studies, and daily use of the internet and mobile phones. This paper defines digital students and explains why they are different from their previous generation colleagues. This technology, in which these students are exposed to, is firmly embedded in their lives in that they cannot function normally without it. It forms part of their academic life as well as their social life, and most of them are well versed in computer competency (Johnson
Chinas Food Culture and Table Etiquette China is a country that focuses on courtesy with a deep history in its food culture. In China, it is essential to observe table manners as both guests and natives have a precise placement on the table during meal times. It is admirable that the Chinese stress taking care of the elders and children before others during meals. In a domestic setup, it is the norm to place the main dish, consisting of grain or rice, at the center. Rice is an essential part of the meal since it has some religious value to society. Since China leads in rice cultivation, the people believe it is their source of wealth and show reverence to it by making it the main meal in every dish. Elders sit at the head of the table and serve first. Chinese receive rice bowls with both hands to show respect regardless of the age of the person serving. So, when in China, it is advisable to like rice and teat it religiously during meal times. Another distinct aspect in Chinese food cultures is with eating chopsticks. I found it interesting that Chines have a unique way of holding chopsticks according to the meal. I find it hard to eat noodles with chopsticks, but the Chinese make it sound and feel easy to eat rice with chopsticks. It is incredible how people rip meat and fish with chopsticks when I do not know how to hold them in the first place. I did find out that chopsticks have cultural value in China, where they are considered lucky charms in a marriage. Norms And Values In ‘How Family Works’ The author describes family norms and values from a more ritualistic perspective. Ancient communities relied on rituals and ceremonies to showcase their socio-cultural and economic importance. Rites of passage are a norm for people who must pass through all stages from childhood to adulthood. Community members observed all rites of passage through ritualistic ceremonies involving willing participants. Nowadays, families also celebrate rites of passage differently. While the natives held rituals, nowadays, people have celebrations and religious traditions to mark developmental stages such as birthday parties, graduation, and religious events like baptism and matrimony. Elders ensured the passing of traditional knowledge across generations through narratives and observing traditional ceremonies. The people had a central kinship that dictated societal traditions, behaviors, and ceremonial locations. Significant stages such as marriage ceremonies were held with the utmost respect. It was a norm for the girls’ parents to receive a dowry, which shows the girl’s value and the community. In the marriage ceremony, the couple faces away from their parents to indicate bro
Abstract This report presents the findings of a study commissioned by the dean of the College of Business at Bayview University. The objective of the study is to assess the current ethical behavior of business students at the university. The report concludes that cheating is a major problem among these students and that there is a need for a new study, which investigates why male students cheat more than their female counterparts do during their time at the university. Introduction Cheating at Bayview University and more specifically in the College of Business has been a pressing issue for the dean for quite some time. The concern is appreciable when consideration is made to a claim appearing in an article by the Chronicle of Higher Education that unethical behavior shown by Wall Street corporate officials, which can be attributed to prevalent cheating in business schools, played a role in the global recession of 2008 and 2009. Faculty members have their opinions on the level of cheating in the university and the college. One group claims that in comparison to other universities cheating is more widespread in Bayview. Another group claims that the level of cheating in college is not a major problem. With these claims in mind, the dean commissioned a study targeting the students in the college. The main objective of the study is to assess the student’s current ethical behavior. Using statistical procedures and the data availed by an exit survey conducted as a part of the study this report discusses the nature of cheating at Bayview University’s College of Business. Methods Materials and participants The study through an exit survey assesses three forms of cheating, which are captured in three of the four questions that make up the questionnaire of the exit survey. The valid responses to each of the three questions are “Yes” or
ETOPS is an acronym that stands for Extended Twin-engine Range Operations. The term and the concept indicate the recommended practices that are issued by the International Civil Aviation (ICAO), which provides the guidelines for flying long-distance routes that were previously prohibited to two-engine airliners (Lee, 2006). ETOPS has evolved over the years. This paper provides an evaluation and in-depth analysis of the key elements of the Extended Range Operations. To understand the applications of the ETOPS rule, it is important to have a review of its evolution over the years. As such, it is worth noting that the use of aircrafts as a means of transportation is a recent technology, yet it has evolved drastically in the last 100 years (Stolzer, Halford, & Goglia, 2008). In the early 20 th century, the first transatlantic flight was made from Canada to Ireland. It took more than sixteen hours. However, the reason for such a long stay was because flights far from the land were deemed very risky. As such, two engines were necessary for such flights over ocean or long distances (Liou, Yen, & Tzeng, 2008). The US Civil Aeronautics Authority introduced the 60-minute rule, often referred to as the Section 121.161, for twin-engine and three engine aircraft whereby the aircraft’s flight path of the twin-engine would not be permitted to extend further than 60 minutes of flying time from any airport. To meet the regulations, the aircrafts affected by the rule had to fly in long dogleg path to remain within the 60-minute extended range rule (Valenti, Bethke, Fiore, How, & Feron, 2006). In 1964, the three engine planes were exempted from the rule. Only two-engine aircrafts were affected. However, over the years, engine design, reliability, and technology have evolved and improved drastically. Airplanes are not allowed more than the initial 60-minute restriction (Kinnison & Siddiqui, 2012). Further, the safety of operations of aircrafts has increased due to better engine reliability. Currently, other factors apart from the engine are majorly to blame for safety issues, regardless of the number of engines in an aircraft. In 1985, the FAA introduced the AC 120-42, which would provide two-engine airplanes with the means of obtaining up to 120 minutes of extended operations from an adequate 120 minutes. The rule was further revised in 1988 with the issuance of AC 120-42A, which extended the operations range to 180 minutes (Moir & Seabridge, 2011). The AC120-42B was introduced in 2008 to provide improved safety regulations and requirements for twin-engine and commercial airlines. Since 1988, the ETOPS limit for twin-engine aircrafts has remained 180 minutes from an adequate airport and is applicable in the majority of the world’s current aviation routes. However, some of the areas that are
Introduction Amnesia is a mental condition that is characterized by loss of memory. The affected individuals may not have a good memory of an event that occurred in a short period prior to the reference time. Amnesia manifests itself differently and the kind of information that is lost by individuals may differ as well. The memory is disturbed and a piece of information that had been acquired may be blurred or appear completely. In other cases, amnesiacs may only recall new events or newly acquired information and lose the information that had been in the memory for a long time. In some scenarios, an individual loses memory for a particular event. In other cases, the individual is able to have a good memory of given information but cannot recall its roots. An amnesiac may recall tragic event like road accident that occurred in his or her life. However, he/she may not be able to recall the events that occurred just before and after the scene. Other individuals may have good memory of skills learned in school while they are not able to develop a cognitive ability for their personal identities. Several factors can cause amnesia and more studies carried out psychology pertaining to amnesia reveal causal factors. There are individuals who experienced such problems since their childhood. The condition could be acquired at a later stage in life following the causal factors. The condition could result from drug use, mental disorder, stress, and depression following a traumatic experience, or physical damage to the brain following an accident or shock. Abuse of drugs such as excessive use of alcohol may interfere with an individual’s cognitive ability. Drug effects could also be witnessed in the situation where a patient is induced with a drug before an operation. Wrong use of such drugs may pose problems to the patient’s memory. A traumatic experience like a tragic car accident may interfere with the victim’s memory of the events that occurred before or after the accident. These factors interfere with the function of hippocampus, the section of the human brain that is responsible for the development of memory, storing and organizing information. Information could be present in one’s memory but cannot be accessed. The inability to recall an event may occur just because the information is not organized in the memory area for proper retrieval. Lack of proper long-term memory is a hindrance to the learning
Abstract The increased importance of cryptocurrency peculiar to the recent several years contributed to significant attention devoted to the investigation of this potentially beneficial means of payment. At the same time, there are also numerous attempts to oppose it to the traditional options such as precious metals and fiat money that have been used for a long period. In this regard, the paper delves into the peculiarities of cryptocurrency and its production regarding the stable popularity of other means of payment. Bitcoin is taken to investigate factors that impact the market and forces that might contribute to the increase or decrease of their potency. At the same time, the paper revolves around precious metals and fiat risks as the modern alternative and factors affecting the sphere. Perspectives associated with these means are discussed, probabilities for financing and benefits are also revealed. At the end of the paper, the conclusion is made. Introduction The last several years are characterized by the rapid rise of Bitcoin. Its rates achieved the highest ranks and provoked a powerful reaction in the market of virtual currencies (Andrianto & Diputra, 2018). Investors and coins owners acquired a potent tool to perform financial operations and guarantee particular stability. The given shift of priorities from traditional to innovative currencies also preconditioned the emergence of multiple debates regarding the future of this payment method and its use in deals. At the same time, the popularity and power of precious metals were doubted (Grier, 2014). However, the rise of Bitcoin was followed by its downfall as its price quickly became lower and created the ground for a new wave of discussions about the reliability of the coin and its ability to be used at the international level (Andrianto & Diputra, 2018). For this reason, there is the need for in-depth research of the given aspect with the primary aim to determine its potency, nature, and correlation with alternatives such as precious metals. Nevertheless, bitcoin is not the only virtual currency that is used in the modern world. There are also Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, and Monero that are characterized by the ability to accumulate money and serve as the promising investment to monitor the state of the market and play on forex rates (Andrianto & Diputra, 2018). Therefore, at the moment, it is one of the most well-known coins because of the recent rise and shock caused by its blistering growth. However, precious metals trading has always been an alternative to innovative methods because of their traditionally high reliability and understandable character (Grier, 2014). Cogitating about the forces impacting both these options, researchers assume that they are vulnerable to similar processes happening within the market and stock (Andrianto & Diputra, 2018; Grier, 2014). For this reason, the need for an in-depth investigation of the current situation along with the analysis of the perspectives and problems associated with these cryptocurrencies becomes obvious. Problem Statement At the moment, the wide use of the new pa
Competence, helpfulness, and motivation are the most suitable phenomena to describe my brand. Firstly, I typically spend much time and effort learning and increasing my knowledge base. I draw attention to news articles and scientific studies to sophisticate my experience and keep abreast of any changes in my area of interest. Secondly, indifference can be considered a severe problem today, and that is why I believe that helpfulness is one of the crucial advantages of my brand. If a person is always ready to assist others, it is a prominent feature in the modern world. Thirdly, motivation makes me a memorable and valuable member of every team. This statement refers to the fact that I am always dedicated to performing a task and also try to motivate others to do the same. Consequently, these three qualities allow me to stand out from other individuals who are on the same career path. When it comes to promoting my brand identity, I would create a personal profile on LinkedIn. This professional social networking platform is suitable in this case because it offers multiple advantages. For example, Kozłowski et al. (2021) admit that this platform is beneficial because it allows for reaching numerous individuals who can be interested in my brand. The researchers also stipulate that I can use LinkedIn to advertise my identity and participate in personal communication with other individuals (Kozłowski et al., 2021). Finally, multiple individuals worldwide use this platform, which increases the probability of promoting my brand successfully. A positive outcome will be achieved if one or more employers become interested in my personality and contact me via my LinkedIn profile.

Introduction Micronutrients are the elements that help organisms function without interruptions. As a rule, people get them together with food and drinks. They may be found in fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and other products. Their toxicity or deficiency may pose a serious threat to people’s health conditions, and it is useful to know their symptoms (Capone, 2019). The paper describes the symptoms of toxicity and deficiency of iodine and vitamin C as well as their impact on people’s organisms. Main body Iodine is a micronutrient that helps the thyroid gland work without any deviations. It is contained in fish, mussels, beet, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, beans, and many other products. Its deficiency violates the work of the thyroid, which provokes weakness, headaches, gaining weight, memory, eyesight, and hearing violations (Capone, 2019). Iodine toxicity is as dangerous as its deficiency since it is quite a toxic element, and one should be careful when taking iodine-containing medicines or products. It is characterized by stomachaches, vomiting, and other symptoms of intoxication. The most widespread disease provoked by iodine toxicity is the grave disease. When taken appropriately, iodine helps prevent diseases of the nervous system, such as memory and concentration degradation and many others. Vitamin C is one of the most important micronutrients since it protects people from infections and heart diseases such as heart attacks or thrombosis. Vitamin C is contained in lemons, grapefruits, oranges, spinach, black currant, and other fruits and vegetables. The most common symptoms of its toxicity concern stomach discomfort, intoxication, kidney stones, or headaches (Capone, 2019). Vitamin C deficiency is usually characterized by bleeding gums; hair falls, the fragility of nails, and frequent colds. Conclusion To conclude, when speaking about micronutrients, it is necessary to remember that every person has his own daily norm of them. It may be counted only in a healthcare institution by an experienced physician. Hence, one should consult with a specialist and take medical tests before taking vitamins. Wrongly prescribed microelements cause changes in people’s bodies and a lot of them are irreversible and harmf
An American writer Ray Bradbury is one of the most famous authors of the 20-21 centuries and one of the most ingenious anti-utopians in the world. In his works, the writer often discusses the topic of the human future and the inevitable degradation of people due to the loss of spirituality. Bradbury describes heroes living in the city of the future, where reading books is forbidden, and also predicts technical changes and moral problems of society in his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 . The purpose of this essay is to provide a summary of the book, analyze the main characters and the central theme of the paper, and, finally, present a personal opinion about Fahrenheit 451 . The Summary of the Novel Ray Bradbury wrote his famous, thrilling, and thought-provoking novel in 1953. The impetus for its creation was the burning by the Nazis of books by authors that they disliked. The writer perceived these cruel acts as a personal tragedy and portrayed the experience in his anti-utopian work. Moreover, “the novel reflects Bradbury’s concerns about censorship and conformity during a period when a free expression of ideas could
