The media influences people’s consciousness significantly. People are inclined to react to the visual and audio television messages more actively than to the information presented with the help of the other media. That is why all the information discussed in television shows should be assessed with references to certain principles of censorship. Nevertheless, these principles are not followed today, or they are openly ignored by the producers of television shows who intend to make sensations, but not to care about the ethical issues. As a result, the audience can observe the tendency to use a lot of obscene language in modern television shows. Thus, television shows should not be allowed to use the obscene language because the television language is based on the definite language norms, and the usage of obscene and profane words cannot be discussed as a norm; the great part of the audience of television shows is children; the usage of the obscene language on TV reflects the society’s general cultural level and contributes to its further decline. The problem is in the fact the usage of the obscene language in television shows is prohibited about the Federal Communications Commission policy. The ignorance and violation of the policy end indefinite fines and restrictions. However, the television audience continues to hear the obscene language used in television shows. From this point, definite obscene words can be perceived by the public as a norm because they are broadcasted with the help of the media (Andersen and Taylor 43). Some people can state that the obscene language is used in everyday life by many persons, and television shows only reflect the tendency. However, the obscene language is not a norm, and the usage of profane words in television shows should not be allowed because the usage of such words cannot be perceived as the normal situation. Furthermore, television shows are watched by many children. The TV channels should not be allowed to present television shows where the obscene language is used because children cannot analyze the informatio
Introduction Businesses are normally guided by diverse business laws, one of them being the law of contract. The Law of contract usually binds two or more parties. Formal contracts are always made relevant by the provision of formal documents such as deeds. However, for the contract to be binding the consideration must have some value and merits on both the buyer and the seller; the parties which are involved in the process. James and The Kitchen Wizard have been involved in a transaction the implications of which created some level of conflict between him and the company. James feels aggrieved concerning the transaction because some of the items which were supposed to be part of the kitchen set such as the oven and the marble top bench were not included in the final prefabricated kitchen set that he had ordered. Law of contracts The seller in the course of the transaction uses a contract to stipulate the terms in which he specifies that the company would not be held accountable for, in failure of the installers to fit the cupboards within the defined space of the kitchen. The contract that James was made to sign was meant to solidify the trust between James and the Kitchen Wizard and as such should have been taken as a source of cordial relations between the parties involved in this transaction. The concept of consideration on both the buyer and the seller is vital for any transaction to be carried out because this is likely to impact greatly on how the two parties relate with one another. This concept stipulates that the seller measures up to the expectations of the buyer of the goods and that the buyer replicates the gesture by being able to pay for the goods and services availed to him by the seller. In business law, therefore, James and Kitchen Wizard have an obligation to meet their promises regarding the transaction that they are engaging in to ensure that neither of the parties is negatively impacted by the failure of one of the parties to live up to their obligations. The seller and James had an obligation to execute their promises as stated within the initial agreement when the transaction that enabled the exchange of goods between them was taking place. The selling company had given James a promise in form of both a written contract and an oral commitment that the price paid for the transaction was valid and was commensurate to the goods and services James had sought to obtain from the company for this purpose. The salesperson that was charged with the responsibility of selling the goods, who James interacted with within the course of that business transaction made promises to James, and as such since the salesperson was acting on behalf of Kitchen Wizard the promises made to James were valid and should have been met by the seller. The salesperson had promised James that the oven wo
The second half of the twentieth century witnessed significant transformation of American society. This is of particular concern to period of Vietnamese war, the era of escape of Asian immigrants to the United States. However, in the pursuit of a better future, the Asian community faced significant resistance on the part of the residents. Under the influence of political, social, cultural, and economic factors, the Asian people considered it a serious obstacle and, therefore, they strived to deserve love, acceptance, and recognition of the American population. As a result, the Asian American community had to sustain solitary existence. Numerous accounts and documented history provides evidence of the hardships and prejudiced attitude that Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese had to overcome on the way to the American Dream. The tremendous shifts happening in Asian American community requires a total reconsideration of interdisciplinary studies. In particular, constant attempts of the Asian communities to adjust to a new cultural environment has led to the synthesis of new communities that exist within the contexts of transnationalism, racism, multiracial identity, social justice, and immigration. In the book called I Love Yours for White People , the author focuses on the actual transitions and adjustments that a Vietnamese family had to face to gain recognition in the American realm. The American society has long been considered a united nation with a strongly shaped feeling of identity, sense of traditions, culture, and religious beliefs. Therefore, the residents resisted the first waves of immigrants arriving in the United States. In the 1960s, the Asians were encouraged to enter the United States, but these refugees had to live up to the ethnic minority image. The situation has changed dramatically as soon as the 1965 Act because the U.S. immigration policy has been reinforced and, as a result, the immigrants had to reside predominantly in rural areas where the poverty level reached the bottom line. In I Love Yours Are for White People , Lac Su reports about his hard experience while living as refugees: “I’d see adulterous men rendezvousing with mistresses at the local café, mothers catching their sons drinking and smoking, corrupted officers blackmailing naïve citizens” (3). Adjustment to an alien cultural environment creates serious problems for ethnic minorities due to the absence of equal attitude to all the citizens irrespective of their race, gender, and social status. The story provided by Su proves the absence of consistent South Asian infrastructure failed to support civil rights of the Vietnamese refugees and challenged their peaceful existence. Exposure of violence and unjust treatment of minority groups has negatively influenced family and generational relations because the reinforced governmental policies encouraged mass arrests of immigrants (Yu-Wen et al. 26). In the memoir, the author focuses on the eternal confrontation between various cultures leading to biased and prejudiced attitudes on the p
People from different parts of the world have various behaviors. It should be noted that even people who belong to the same cultural group might exhibit different behavioral traits depending on their work. As a matter of fact, it is not obvious that when a person is at a given place, he or she will behave as expected. More often than not, people depict unexpected characters when they are in a certain place. It is supposed, for example, that when people are in a given restaurant, they will go there to eat. However, that is far from the truth. If one listens to the conversation that people have while in a restaurant, then the reality of what really happens will be brought to the surface. In this regard, I conducted an observation survey in a restaurant and documented what I saw. It was on a Thursday during lunch hour and at that time it was expected that people would be rushing to have their lunch and make it back to their offices. Moreover, it was drizzling outside as such most people were rushing into various restaurants to avoid being wet. The restaurant I chose is situated at the center of the town, a place that is surrounded by many offices. Being at this strategic place, the restaurant usually receives a lot of people during lunch hour. This reason, the unwelcoming weather conditions outside ensured that many people came to the restaurant that particular day. Consequently, I was assured of variety of people to choose from for my observation. The restaurant is a high end place designed to take into consideration the needs of the working class people who usually visit it. It prepares high quality foods hence the aroma in the restaurant is very inviting. However, being located in the middle of working class people, the restaurant is relatively expensive. On the same note, the tone of service in the restaurant was formal given the fact that most of the people came from the nearby offices. Services were also quick, which really impressed me. It took roughly three minutes for a person to get his or her meal ready after ordering. People came in groups, which I assumed had been composed of workmates from the way they were talking, mostly about how a certain duty should have been executed. Additionally, most people were dressed in official clothes and looked well mannered. While taking their meals, most of the people were careful and ate systematically. The conversations revolved around issues to do with work and work environment. Nonetheless, in very few cases, people talked about their personal issues. It is important to note that there were few people who came in twos and they seemed to delve much into their personal issues. Nonetheless, most of these people seemed to be working in the nearby offices judging from their dressing and code of conduct. There was this one couple, which seemed to be slightly different. The man was in casual wear while the lady was in official attire. According to my judgment, one of them, the man to be exact, could not be from the nearby offices. Moreover, the two seemed to be cautious on their talk and they looked around from time to time in what seemed to me as ensuring that nobody was peering into their c
Introduction The art by Katsushika Hokusai from Japan showcases Mount Fuji which is said to have a red-like at dawn in the early stages of autumn. The print is particularly referred to as Red Fuji which presents an uncompromising visionary element of the mountain in the absence of humans. The unique snow-capped Mount Fuji exemplifies an iconic spiritual perspective that focuses on religion. In the art, trees are seen reduced to tiny triangular shapes in green color that stretches along the mountain’s base. 1 There is also a blue sky that contains a white paper-based outline of clouds to include the aesthetic value of Hokusai’s art. This paper explores the Red Fuji art and argues on the relevance of the art by the designer to society. Figure 1. Hokusai’s print of decorated Mount Fuji2.   * Title: South wind, clear sky (Gaifū Kaisei), also known as Red Fuji   * Artist: Katsushika Hokusai   * Date: ca. 1830-32   * Medium: woodblock print, ink, and color on paper   * Size: Oban 10 x 14 7/8 in. (25.4 x 37.8 cm)   * Location: British Museum, Indianapolis museum of art The Red Fuji art is one of the perfect artworks that show how people during the Edo period were gifted in designing objects. The way Hokusai design and printed the work shows efforts towards the interest in drawing and painting. The woodwork prints were carved so that fine presentation would be achieved. During the period, most artists used wood prints to draw and paint because of the availability of the material. Wood was considered durable if preserved in a nice environment, and most people used to embrace the style. 3 It was efficient to paint the Red Fuji by utilizing wood prints to show the level of artistic designs used in early periods. Additionally, it is interesting they the artist framed the colors. As seen in (fig1) above, the themes have several patterns that add to the aesthetic value of the object. Hokusai used a blue landscape on the major part of Red Fuji and supplemented it is using many more colors such as red and brown. The art shows a distinct phenomenon of exceptional clear mornings in all seasons. 4 Hokusai’s combined southern wind and the clear sky would mean an outstanding print that was an indisputable masterpiece up to current moments. Red Fuji is an example of artistic work that portrays an element of advanced skill in painting from the transfer of reality to illustrated view. The talented Hokusai depicts the iconic volcano from various angles for all seasons. Therefore, it is fine to say that she was an outstanding artist during the Edo period. 5 Due to the obsession with art, Hokusai influenced other people, such as Utagawa Hiroshige during the ukiyo-e period, to create a beautiful landscape. To show how Red Fuji was admired, Hiroshige made a series of prints with the same title as those of Hokusai to illustrate the motivation in revealing the unique work in the original painting. Interpretation of the Work From the way Hokusai presented her work on Red Fuji, it is true to say that she was an early riser. Making more than 30 views
Introduction In the recent past, the popularity of events management and related projects has increased. According to Bladen (2010), the phenomenon involves the application of project management concepts to the administration of events and occasions. In this paper, the author will analyse a number of contemporary issues affecting the management of these undertakings. To this end, the author will review 6 articles reporting on various issues in this field. A key theme affecting the operations of a manager operating in this field in each of the articles will be identified and critically reviewed. Contemporary Issues in Events Management Media Representation of Volunteers at the Beijing Olympic Games (Charles Richard Bladen) Volunteers play a major role in the management of activities related to many events. Bladen (2010) explores how the media represents volunteers in sports. Bladen analyses this issue from the perspective of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The major theme in this article is the portrayal of volunteers in mainstream media. According to Bladen (2010), the Chinese and foreign media houses varied in their coverage of assistants involved in the Olympics. The local media portrayed these individuals as the force behind the success of the mega-event. The foreign media, on the other hand, treated volunteers as a ‘front’ for the Chinese government. According to Bladen (2010), Chinese media tended to glorify the parties, while foreign media focused on their shortcomings. The media is a very influential force, especially in gauging the success of managing an event like the Olympics. In some cases, media outlets can distort the outcomes of an event. Such distortions can occur in situations where there are conflicting representations, like in the Olympics Games. Bladen (2010) feels that the reporting of volunteering in sporting events lacks sufficient research. The media pays more attention on the individuals
Sports are not about gaining scores; it is about learning, expressing respect, encouragement, and experience. Both parents and coaches should be aware of that fact to be able to make sports for children as one of the most important components in their life. Moreover, they should recognize educational perspective of playing, as well as how they can contribute positively to development as a strong personality. Finally, a parent-coach partnership should ensure that children take the right experience and life lessons while playing a game. In this true context of sport, it is possible to encourage youth to become much stronger and develop such important qualities as cooperation, mutual agreement, and respect. Children going in for sports and taking part in competitions should not consider victory as the main purpose of game. Rather, the coaching committee should convince children that sports should be considered within a broader sense of life experience. Therefore, during play a child can learn what it means to support each other on the way to victory, solve problems, and work out successful strategies. It is also associated with shaping such qualities as patience and ability to control emotions and stressful situations. As a proof, The Positive Coaching Alliance adheres to the ideas of exploring sports as a means for gaining a valuable life experience, for entertaining, and building a strong character (Positive Coaching Alliance n. p.). As soon as a child recognizes that the sports is a means of self-development, but not a cause of depression once the game is lost, he/she will start modeling life philosophy and strengthen his/her self-esteem. Encouragement, therefore, is the strongest incentive for children to make better in sports and in future life. The role of a coach lies in promoting children’s awareness of their advantage and uniqueness. The creative thinking and persuasion, therefore, are among the most important conditions for shaping a strong personality and identifying the winning solutions. The rights efforts made by coach can become a priority in character education. What is more important is that sports concepts should be reconsidered to make both children and parents gain practical value. Hence, a multidimensional approach should be selected for managing a sporting environment and taking an advantage of it. Indeed, character education should become a foundational principle in sports. According to the report presented by Character Education Partnership, “when educators bemoan the fact “there is no more room on my plate” for character education, the common retort is that “character education is the plate”” (Berkowitz and Bier 4). Professional development should be prior to the sense of competition, victory, and popularity in school when children go in for sports. Therefore, parents should be able to understand that and explain the greater purpose in life to their children. Once again, as soon as ideological foundation is introduced, children will be able to enhance their understanding of sporting activities as powerful means of shaping their character and personality.

Introduction Different approaches to the division of the society are relevant today, and one of these principles is the gender difference. In particular, the role of women is the issue that is periodically raised and discussed, and various opinions are expressed regarding inequality and the infringement of rights. The works of different authors, aimed at studying human anthropology as the basis for relationships among individuals, can give an answer to the question of what constitutes the background of difference and inequality. Specific studies demonstrate the impact of the gender difference on women’s health and the healthcare system as a whole. Moore’s Criticisms of Anthropology In traditional anthropology, as Moore claims, the woman was present as a secondary object of field research; the empirically observed specificity of her social position and worldview was not reflected on the level of theory. In the works of anthropologists, regardless of their gender, the male model of the studied reality dominated the inevitable periphery of women’s problems. The author criticizes the opposition of productive, that is, the male, and reproductive (female) labor, which has become established in the scientific literature. Moore considers this view as erroneous and deliberately works to avoid prevailing anthropological stereotypes. Lorde’s and Moore’s Concepts of Difference Moore’s works relate to feminist anthropology and are aimed primarily at achieving the equality of women from the class point of view and the ability to take equal participation with men in the social life. Lorde focuses more on the topic of racial discrimination and pays attention to equality in terms of origin. Moore notes that the relationship between sexes is seen as the dominant principle of social life, and the study of these relationships is accepted as a starting point for any anthropological analysis. Lorde notes that the opportunities of women and men should not be limited to racial context, and the desire for equality is the key point of the struggle for justice. These theses are advanced by the authors, and despite similar ideas and ultimate goals, approaches differ in their implementation. Examples of Anthropological Research on Women’s Health and Healthcare The achievement of results in the field of healthcare as a whole and, in particular, women’s health, can be interpreted from different perspectives. Thus, it is possible to consider the concept of anthropological equality where, regardless of sex and physiology, individuals are entitled to receive equal medical care. Also, Moore’s research can be useful in evaluating the results of work on the use of both male and female labor in the healthcare sector with the aim of having equal conditions and opportunities. Lorde’s approaches focus on the identical rights to count on medical assistance regardless of people’s race. Finally, taking gender equality into account in terms of sexual orientation can benefit the he
