Introduction The world of crime has had numerous inventions of crime types cropping up each day in the society. These crimes range from the simple ones such as piracy to the complex ones such as murder. However, regardless of the weight of the crime committed, justice has to take place by having the criminal punished. The hate crime is one such crime that happens to occur each day in almost all regions of the world (Levin and McDevitt). Common hate crimes that have been documented include those listed below. The case of “Admiral Duncan, a ‘gay pub’ in Soho, London in which three died, and scores were injured, is an example. And the callous attack on the young gay man Matthew Shepard who was pistol-whipped and left lashed to a fence in freezing conditions to die later in hospital in Wyoming in October 1998” (Iganski 1). Others include “the brutal murder by white supremacists of James Byrd, who was beaten unconscious, chained to the back of a pickup truck and dragged for miles along rural roads outside the town of Jasper, Texas in June 1998, as well as the racist murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence in South London in 1993” (Iganski 1). These are just but some of the cases that attracted media attention. Others have taken place and left unmentioned because of the current laws regarding hate crimes. Hate crimes entail several criminal offences such as arson, assault, vandalism, injury, and murder. They normally come about when one party is motivated by bias of issues such as religion, sex, class, ethnic group, political affiliation, gender, and age among other differences, to hurt the other party (Elmore 1). The aforementioned factors that arouse bias are difficult to change hence making the victim continue suffering if at all there is no intervention by the law. When hate crimes are committed, they bring about damage to property, injury to the individual and psychological issues depending on the type of criminal act committed. In other words, hate crimes normally cause diversified impacts on the victim of the act, as well as the community (Elmore 1). However, it should be known that all human beings have their rights and freedom, which protect them from being victimized. In case, an individual is victimized through the hate crimes the law should intervene to punish the criminals who violate the rights of other people. This research paper will be an in-depth analysis of the punishments accorded to hate crime offenders. The reasons as to why these punishments should be made more severe because of the psychological impact they bring about to the victim and the community will also be discussed. The psychological impact of hate crimes Unlike other criminal offences, hate crimes not only have an impact on the victim but the community is also affected by the crime (Elmore 1). A victim of hate crime will undergo several physical and psychological problems because of the act. For ins
Many years ago, people used to value and respect traditional lifestyles in many different ways. In the past, people were connected to each other throughout families and communities, which allowed them to be linked and, in a relation, full of trust. There weren’t any complications back in the day, and life was mostly simpler due to the strong ties people had and the rituals people would follow. Nowadays, people have forgotten the value of tradition and culture, which lead people to lack of trust and communication throughout communities and sometimes families, and bonds are not as strong as they used to be back in the good old days. With this in mind, encouraging people to use and value traditional lifestyles will allow them to gain back the simplicity of life and the strong bonds they once had in the past alongside a multitude of other benefits. One should be aware that traditions are an important part of our culture, and they help to build the structure and establishment of our families and society. Firstly, traditions can help make cultural standards stand out in many different ways, such as valuing the past and present. People all over the world tend to stick to their culture by expressing their morals, for example, here in the UAE, we celebrate our National day every year on the 2nd of December, and to make our culture standout, people all over the UAE wear traditional clothing and jewelry and spend time together all as one nation. In other words, values, such as integrity, faith, and freedom, are reinforced by tradition (Sonnenberg, 2015). This allows families and community standards to reunite and indicate in a better and more traditional way that may be linked with not only values but as well as manners. The importance of tradition lies in traditional ways like rituals and rules. For example, neighbor relationships are directly impacted by the traditional elements of a society, which is of paramount importance for unification and strengthening of the community (Alwahedi, 2016). The rituals and rules that are held throughout traditions can have a very beneficial impact on everything like families, connections, and lifestyle. By valuing priorities, old rules, and rituals, they will enable a sense of belonging throughout societies. Looking back at your past culture and family will give you an understanding of the simplicity of life back in the day, also how it used to be and how over time, things like ethics and lifestyle have started to change. However, the old importance of reputation and worth still impacts future lives. Each culture deals with a reputation in its own way, and for example, some cultures would kill just to keep their reputations intact. Thus, by looking back at the past, it will empower a person to acknowl
Men and women are two absolutely different species. The main difference is biological one, however, there are also the psychological issues. Having different sex organs, men and women think differently, their behavior is various as well. Trying to define the nature of gender, the primary sex identities are to be considered. Moreover, it is important to remember other signs of gender which occur in the human organism, chemical and biological processes. Even though a person has wrong sex organs, the chemical processes which occur in their organism will define his/her gender. Therefore, the psychological gender identity is a result of the biological processes. I am sure that gender is a product of biology. People are born with specific biological characteristics and when people start changing the particular signs the problems appear. Much research has been conducted n the sphere and the common question has not been achieved. However, the first reading titled states that “the difference between boys and girls can be traced to a single chemical source: testosterone” (Blum). Depending on the activities people perform and their thinking processes the level of testosterone may be either higher or lower. Therefore, the roles of a person are shared. Those people who have the higher level of testosterone perform male tasks while those who perform female tasks have lower level of testosterone and the sex organs may be either men or women. Therefore, this is one of the arguments that sex has a biological nature and people formulate their preferences on the basis of the chemical process which occur in human organisms. Despite the physical sex organs, people may have another gender which is a real expression of their self, however, it is the biological process as well. Human mind is impacted by the chemical processes which occur in their minds. Works Cited Blum, Deborah, “What’s the Difference Between Boys and Girls? Life 22.8.
Joy daycare advertising strategy and how it aligns with its marketing goals Advertising is an indispensable marketing tool especially for new businesses. Advertising enables a company to heighten products/services awareness among potential consumers (Fisk, Grove & John, 2008). If effectively executed, advertising is capable of increasing sales and generating immense revenues. However, the tricky part is how to come up with effective strategies especially for small business like Joy daycare center. The main marketing goal for Joy daycare center is to increase its market share steadily with a targeted growth rate of 10% p.a. To achieve this objective, with we will engage the services of a website hosting provider to ensure that the business maintains on-line presence. This strategy was chosen because most parents are conducting their activities (shopping, classes) online, thus they are likely to be looking for child care services via the same medium. Secondly, flyers, brochures and business cards bearing Joy daycare logo will be designed and strategically distributed within the neighborhood. How the effectiveness of the advertising will be measured According to Fisk, Grove and John (2008), the effectiveness of advertising strategies should be measured based on the initial objectives for carrying out this campaign. Joy daycare advertising and promotional strategies were designed in order to inform customers about our services and by so doing increase sales. Moreover, promotional strategies strengthen brand image among existing customers. We will test awareness based on the number of enquiries we receive from potential customers seeking further information. Secondly, the brand image and sales objective will be measured based on the number of inquires we receive via the various communication mediums supplied in the adverts. Furthermore, we will also follow up to establish whether these inquires translates to sales. Promotional strategies that may be used in addition to advertising   * The center will design hats, t-shirts, mugs and bookmarks bearing Joy daycare logo and contact details, distribute them among existing parents, and give them extra ones to take to their friends.   * We will regularly conduct regular community clean-up activities and request parents to invite other families.   * A Christmas concert for children both members and non-members will be organized. Measuring customer satisfaction for Joy daycare services According to Hayes (2008), customer satisfaction is the key to businesses success. High level of customer satisfaction has been associ
Introduction This is a case study on IKEA. The case study will introduce IKEA, analyze its history, state its mission, and explain what it does and its profitability. It will additionally discuss IKEA operations design, location and layout of stores, delivery and manufacturing process of its products. The case study will also introduce John Lewis, compare and contrast it with IKEA. It will state the problems facing IKEA and conclusively highlight its operations and sales functions. IKEA IKEA is a private owned company that sells furniture and household items; it draws its market from all over the world. IKEA was started by a 17-year old Swedish named Ingvar Kamprad in 1943. Ingvar Kamprad was born in 1926 in South Sweden. IKEA History The history of IKEA is tied to the founder Ingvar Kamprad. Ingvar Kamprad is from Smaland in Sweden. It is said that Smaland does not offer much opportunities but its people are very sharp and skilled. IKEA is an acronym developed from the initials of the founder’s name, Ingvar Kamprad (I.K), “the first letter of the farm he grew in, Elmtaryd (E) and his village, Agunnaryd (A)” (IKEA, 2009, p. 1). IKEA locations are now owned by INGKA foundation. Initially, IKEA dealt with products like pens, ladies’ stockings, watches, picture frames and small furniture items. It distributed its wares through the county’s milk van. However, in 1951 IKEA decided to zero in on furniture products only and additionally produced its first catalogue. IKEA opened its first store in Almhult, Sweden in 1953 and outside Sweden in 1963 (Norway) and Denmark in 1969. IKEA expanded rapidly opening many stores outside Sweden; in 1987 it won the Excellent Swedish Design prize. As time went by the company incorporated children items (IKEA, 2009, p.1). IKEA Mission and Profitability IKEA has a big mission, “to offer a wide range of home furnishing items of good design and function, excellent quality and durability, at prices affordable to the majority” (IKEA, 1994, p.1). The INGKA foundation which owns IKEA is a Dutch charitable organization controlled by Kamprad family and thus IKEA profit is non-taxable. IKEA annual revenues total to US$28.8 billion, making it the world’s largest furniture manufacturer. IKEA Delivery and Manufacturing Process IKEA has a labor force of highly qualified staff of 130,000 people around the world. IKEA products are manufactured in a responsible way and follow the normal supply chain. The designing is undertaken in Sweden but the manufacturing process is carried elsewhere where expenses are minimal. The IKEA

The issue whether abortions should be legalized or not is persistent today. Proponents argue that this is the right of a woman to decide if she wants to keep a baby, while opponents strongly believe that it is unacceptable to take away someone’s life. Political and juridical systems often have to get involved in this dispute. In his book, The Street Politics of Abortion: Speech, Violence, and America’s Culture Wars , Wilson discusses the critical and complicated role of the lawyers in anti-abortion social movements. This topic of banning abortions is highly controversial in nature. Proponents claim that women are in power of their bodies, and they should have options. Unwanted children might be unhappy and might lead to the mother’s unemployment or even be the reason for domestic violence. Moreover, making the procedure illegal would unlikely to eliminate it because are still going to find ways to do it, but the process would become extremely risky. Opponents say that a fetus is a human being that feels pain and that a woman has to accept the responsibility of having a child. In the text, the author talks about how social movements, lawyers, politicians, and policy are intertwined. Wilson describes a few cases when the activists were standing for their ideas to ban abortions. He provides an in-depth scholar analysis of how attorneys worked with these groups and what they were able to achieve. In particular, Wilson focuses on the way the anti-abortion movements were organized, held, and, eventually, institutionalized, and he primarily refers to the influence the lawyers had on the way the protests went. This text fits with other works of literature and topics in this area. For example, recently, Alabama State has passed legislation that makes abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. Moreover, seven other US states consider restricting abortions. It seems that there will be a lot of work for legal representatives as these bills might takeover Roe v. Wade. Lawyers work closely with the clini
The paper is dedicated to researching the relationship between the working memory of human beings and their non-conscious experiences. The study sets the objective of filling the gap in research on visual working memory’s (VWM) executive function and consciousness while offering a new system of methods adapted from numerous studies in the research field. The researchers used an operational structure adapted from Bergström and Eriksson’s experiment, which allows determining that the processes of the working memory can take place independently from conscious awareness. The study entails the participation of 40 subjects that will undergo an experiment drawn from the previously-mentioned study, while trials will be carried out in conscious, non-conscious, and baseline conditions. The main advantage of the study is that it is innovative and uses the adapted experiment from Bergström and Eriksson aimed explicitly at exploring the role of executive function. If the study achieves its goals, the unconscious working memory function will be determined with the help of selection recognition of the presented visual items, which offers high chances for all trials across various levels. In addition, the study can be beneficial for promoting further research in the identified area to determine whether all components of working memory, which is short-term memory, can occur unconsciously, not only VWM. The structure of the proposal follows the logical layout, beginning from the background of the issue through the methodology to problem significance and research innovation. However, there is a significant section missing from the paper, which includes a review of the literature. For a research proposal, a literature review is important for summarizing, analyzing, categorizing, as well as comparing the most important works, which means that there is no need to cover everything that has been written. While the researchers mention the fact that there is a gap in studies, they do not provide evidence that can help illustrate such a gap by outlining the strengths and weaknesses of previous research. Besides, it should be noted that the authors do not mention expected results. At the stage of the proposal, it is possible to put fo
Known as the Wells Fargo scandal, it started in 2016 and recently got new developments. Wells Fargo provides financial services, and the scandal concerns unlawful cross-selling tactics utilized by the company’s employees (Tayan, 2019). In itself, cross-selling is widely used, influencing people to invest in services additional to those they are buying. However, Wells Fargo employees were “opening new accounts and issuing debit or credit cards without customer knowledge, in some cases by forging signatures” (Tayan, 2019, p. 2). Despite multiple controls present, the company did not prevent the scandal. The company used different levels and types of control, but they all failed due to lack of management and pressure on employees. Wells Fargo implemented concurrent control with strict rules and protocols but did not provide enough managers to monitor the staff (Lumen Learning; Tayan, 2019). These rules explicitly prohibited illegal cross-selling while the company’s strategy dictated unrealistic tactics. Feedback control extorted assigned quotas with specific numbers and types of services to be sold daily; otherwise, the target was added to the next day (Tayan, 2019). These targets pushed employees to violate the prohibitions and ultimately led to the scandal. Wells Fargo aimed to strengthen their values and visions by normative control dictating acceptable behavior (Lumen Learning; Tayan, 2019). Some forms of proactive control were implemented too. The company had a “hotline to notify senior management of violations,” various bonuses awarded for the risk management and adhering to the company’s culture, triggers for bonuses recoupment, etc. (Tayan, 2019, p. 2). However, Wells Fargo did not have objective control and top-down control. The latter contributed to why managers did not realize the scope of the problem and could not react timely and appropriately. Wells Fargo needs to establish solid top-down control to monitor the staff and expand their management numbers. Tactics should have sufficient tactical control and not just a description. Although operational control allowed detecting the issue resulting in firing several dozens of employees, it proved to be just a little piece of a much larger problem. The company’s strategy needs revision to resolve it completely. All other controls were ineffective simply because strategic management asked for unrealistic progress from employees.
