The problem in the first article was the area of IT security as it relates to social networks within an organization. Recently, there have been many trends the security of information and communication technologies, in particular, due to the expansion of the reach of social media which increase the size of social network, which has taken the rates sharing personal and working information to very high levels and also posed increased risks to data networks. One note is that this article does not specifically analyze social media networks, but more so social networks. Within this, every growing data intensive environment, there is the unique need to secure enterprise data within this environment. This gap poses new increased risks. Social media networks which could pose some increases risks, however, could prove some advantages in increasing the stretch or mixing the diversity of the social networks, due to the intense popularity of social networking service and it mediums. The use of this services by employees within the organization, and the need or desire to share information across social media mediums could expand the present stretch of social networks within an organization. Thus, access to readily available information and the need to connect to others yields both benefits and undesirable consequences within an organization. (Dang-Pham, Pittayachawan, & Bruno, 2016) Employees remain the biggest risk within the organization to IT security. However, employees can also be a significant asset to reduce the risks that are related to information security. Understanding compliance behavior remains crucial for organizations to secure its data by leveraging their human capital resources. The general problem is that technology-based solutions do not sufficiently address gaps in information security compliance. The study posits that employees’ outcome beliefs shape the employees’ views about conformity with compliance. Intrinsic benefit shapes benefits of conformity, any rewards that are received, the benefits of any conformity while intrinsic value forms the costs of compliance to the employee, the vulnerability of resources, and any sanctions that could be levied. Ths problem area looks at the risk of noncompliance with IT security policy to the business and evaluates the implementation of training and IT programs. (Bulgurcu, Cavusoglu, & Benbasat, 2010) Comprisals within IT security and vulnerabilities have resulted in the increase in ransomware attacks and other types of cybercrime including, financial fraud, stalking, and blackmai(Gradon, 2013). There is a lot of literature that covers these areas and many of the theories which evolve around this subject matter of security as it relates to the business enterprise. As this area in an area of increasing vulnerability, I would like to extent the research into this area. For this reason,
Sociology is an individual study now which serves for understanding the surrounding society, the processes which occur there, institutions, systems and relationships. Many years ago this study was not considered as individual one and only in the middle of the 19 th century it was distinguished as a separate individual science. Emile Durkheim was one of the founders of sociology as an individual science. Many ideas and theories expressed by Emile Durkheim still remain up to date and may be applied in the modern society. To understand Emile Durkheim’s vision of sociology three most significant theories are going to be considered with the detailed discussion of the application of his theories in the modern society. The institution of the family, origin of religion and social development are the central issues for discussion in the paper devoted to Emile Durkheim, a sociologist of the 19 th -20 th century. To begin with, the brief discussion of Emile Durkheim’s bibliography should be presented for better understanding of his ideas. Many events and life situations impact human vision of life and future convictions. Emile Durkheim was born in religious family and planned to connect his life with this social institution, but after the death of his father he refused from this idea. Being interested in philosophy, Emile Durkheim gave lessons in one of the French schools. He had an opportunity to visit Germany in 1885 where he received knowledge in philosophy, social sciences and ethics. After his return, he gave lectures in University of Bordeaux where he created the first department of sociology. Dwelling upon Emile Durkheim’s live, it is important to remember his friend Victor Hommay whose suicide impacted the sociologist greatly. We can only guess the extend of this impact, but its presence cannot be put under question as later in his works Emile Durkheim writes that a person may become the part of the society and this connection may be broken. The World War I was a catastrophe for a sociologist as according to his theory the whole world had to be broken into pieces. Emile Durkheim died in 1917 after the death of his son on the war. This loss was too painful for the sociologist and he could never adopt it (Lukes 50). The sociologist’s life consideration may be helpful in understanding his vision and approaches to society. As is has already been mentioned, many theories offered by Emile Durkheim can be used in the modern society as the rules are unchanged, only the form may be transformed and developed why the society lives in accordance with particular norms which existed and will exist. The first theory highlighted by Emile Durkheim should be his consideration of the family as one of the strongest and most social institut
Introduction The 20 th century produced several new literary genres, dystopian fiction (DF) being one of them. Typically set in the future, DF stories, nevertheless, were meant to represent the fears of the era, including the social anxieties regarding political, societal, and cultural changes. However, owing to the profoundly insightful and incredibly imaginative thinking of DF authors, their works also reflect some of the aspects of contemporary reality. The definition of DF may vary depending on its tone and context, yet it contains general characteristics that can be applied to most of its examples. Montz, ‎Green-Barteet, ‎and Day (2014) define DF as the literature that “situates itself in direct opposition to utopian thought, warning against the potential negative consequences of arrant utopianism” (p. 8), while Syvertsen (2017) prefers to denote the subject matter as “a negatively deformed future of our own world” (p. 36). Thus, the goal of this paper is to study the phenomenon of DF based on the examples of Orwell’s and Huxley’s fiction and determine the presence of the themes that overlap with the contemporary social, cultural, and political issues. Among some of the most notable examples of the 20 th -century DF, Orwell and Huxley’s works have to be mentioned. Orwell’s “1984” has practically become the staple of DF, coining the term “Orwellian” to describe a dystopian future. Huxley’s “The Brave New World,” while garnering lesser fame, also represents DF of the 20 th century rather well. The authors address the topics of totalitarianism, people’s rights and freedoms, the concept of sexuality, emotional and mental well-being, and other issues that remain problematic in the modern world as well. Therefore, the works of DF writers of the early 20 th century tend to reflect some of the modern realities and ideas and affect contemporary society. Analysis of the Concepts and Themes Related to Dystopian Fiction Although each PDF author sets their story in a different environment with its unique characteristics, there are common themes and ideas in the DF genre and especially DF of the early 20 th century. Because of the political pressure that could be observed in the world at the time, totalitarian regimes and their effects were often explored in DF as crucial themes. In addition, the key features of the 20 th century DF include libertarian philosophy, the lead characters that fight oppressors, and political commentaries regarding the tyrannical regimes that protagonists attempt at overthrowing (Anwar, 2016). In essence, DF can be seen as the assumption of the drastic outcomes that the current negative trends in politics, economics, and social life may entail in the future. Specifically, some of the specimens of DF have become so well known that they perform the function of a cautionary tale for humankind. The issue of politics and dictatorship is addressed explicitly in Orwell’s and Huxley’s novels (Morgan, 2018; Scot
Introduction Confucianism is often seen as the Chinese religion, and the influence of this tradition on the government is often ignored. However, it is possible to note that it had a profound effect on the way various rulers exercised their power throughout centuries. This tradition has been criticized by many scholars, politicians and thinkers, but it has returned as a core doctrine many times. 1 At present, Confucianism is also the basis of the Chinese political thought, though, it has been affected by various changes that have taken place in the Chinese society. It is important to analyze the way Confucianism appeared as the political doctrine to understand the way it affects the contemporary Chinese society. This paper focuses on the way Confucianism became a state doctrine during the Han dynasty. Major Concepts One of the central concepts of Confucianism is harmony. Thus, people should strive for harmony in their souls, their lives, their families and their state. 2 Balance in the social sphere is as important as it is in people’s private lives. Remarkably, according to Confucianism, harmony in the state can be achieved through submission to authority. It is important to add that some scholars criticize Confucianism claiming that it leads to authoritarianism and dictatorship. Nonetheless, Confucian doctrine condemns tyranny, and it is even stressed that a dictator can be overthrown and even killed as this kind of ruler usually destroys the harmony. 3 The authority is still a central concept in the Chinese tradition as it is deeply rooted in the Chinese history. According to Confucius, people should follow a wise leader and accept his/her authority. Importantly, the Chinese people often had to look for the balance between following regulations and orders of a ruler and limiting the power of a dictator. Finally, wisdom is another important concept of Confucianism that has affected the political sphere. Leaders tried to assign people who had the necessary knowledge, skills and experience in this or that area. 4 The concept of nobility was linked to an individual’s background: knowledge, experience, achiev
eBay: Some History Ebay is an online auction service, uniting buying and sellers across the world. It was initially founded in 1995, then known as AuctionWeb; the company’s current name, eBay, came about in 1997. Since its first sale, a broken laser pointer (estimated value under a dollar), it quickly grew into a corporation grossing over 10 million in revenue, according to 2018 materials. eBay: Choosing a cloud computing model When choosing a cloud computing model that would work best for a service such as eBay, one needs to consider the user base. For eBay, the most important factor is that its users, both buyers and sellers, are likely to use the service intermittently. For many of them, once they have bought or sold the item they wanted, they no longer need the service. Furthermore, as long as the items and payments are being delivered, the users do not know or care who the other person is. Finally, regular users are not likely to possess the computer literacy needed to install, maintain, or run complex software. The Software-as-a-service (SAAS) model Software-as-a-Service is a cloud computing model that suits eBay’s needs outlined in the previous slide. The vendor hosts the proprietary service, which can be accessed by users, often through a web browser. This means it requires no dedicated hardware, installation or additional steps to maintain or update on the user’s part beyond accessing the service from their existing device — from his or her perspective, it just works. This is the crucial advantage of SaaS compared to other cloud computing models: Grandma can use it to sell her vintage desk lamp with only basic computer knowledge required to operate an email and an accessible web site. Advantages of SAAS Deploying the SAAS model brings several advantages to the vendor. As outlined previously, it is accessible and easy to make available to a broad audience. As anyone can access the service without specialized hardware, software, or knowledge, it can be brought to a large audience with little to no limitations. Furthermore, the ease of access is further improved by the fact that since the service works entirely in a web browser, the user does not need to spend any time on installing, updating, or managing it. He or she can stop and resume using it as necessary, even with years in between. More advantages of SAAS For the vendor, developing a SAAS model
The coronavirus epidemic has caused the need for the application of telemedicine. Fresno Medical Center needs to change its policy. The new coronavirus infection is characterized by a rapidly developing and often unpredictable course of the disease. In the case of late treatment, late initiation of therapy, or inadequate treatment, the course of the disease is often complicated. In such situations, timely qualified intervention is crucial. In the current epidemic situation, when severe restrictions on physical contact between patients and medical personnel were introduced and face-to-face appointments and consultations were temporarily suspended, telemedicine is becoming a common and everyday phenomenon. It can help healthcare practitioners fight COVID-19 by introducing solutions and remedies for chronic diseases at home. With the growing demand for telemedicine, Fresno Medical Center needs to change its policy. It is imperative to ensure a smooth and unified transition to such a method of providing medical services. The coronavirus has exacerbated the problem of capacity shortages (Becker, 2020). Fresno will comply with the Government Code section requirements (FSMB, 2021). Fresno Medical Center faced a limited number of intensive care units in the hospital. This problem has arisen in connection with the coronavirus epidemic and is observed in many healthcare providers (Becker, 2020). Accordingly, Fresno was forced to address this problem promptly. Real meetings were replaced with online sessions. For organizations involved in the provision of health services, it is necessary to quickly resolve the issues associated with the quality standards of telemedicine. In particular, it is considered that service providers should obtain written or verbal consent before using telemedicine services (FSMB, 2021). However, to date, the medical center has not yet developed the principles for the provision of telemedicine services. Since social distancing is not enough to reduce coronavirus cases (Bohmer et al., 2020), telemedicine is a timely method to address the growth of disease (Klein, 2020). The epidemic obligates the a
Strategy mapping is regarded as an effective tool to develop a sound strategy and communicate it to the stakeholders involved. Bryson (2012) notes that this method is acquiring more and more popularity as it is comprehensive and comparatively easy to implement. To understand the way strategy mapping contributes to the development of organizations, it is possible to consider the way an organization utilized the tool. Glacier Inn’s experience will be analyzed. The strategy created with the help of the tool is sound and effective. It is also easy to implement as it is clear to the stakeholders whose commitment is likely to increase. It becomes clear that the major focus should be made on the overriding objective that should be economic in nature (Armitage & Scholey, 2006). Other vital areas are customer strategies, financial and internal practices perspectives, and learning and growth strategies. It is clear that the use of strategy mapping is beneficial for organizations as it facilitates the process of strategy development and its communication to employees. First, it is necessary to mention that the organization in question is an ice hotel established in Northern Minnesota. This ice hotel that has a museum (where visitors have to pay a fee). The first year showed that the owners’ expectations were unlikely to be met unless some changes were implemented. The strategy mapping process started with the identification of the overriding economic objective (Armitage & Scholey, 2006). Jones (2016) also argues that the major objective should be economic as it helps to remain focused and assess the performance efficiently. Armitage and Scholey (2006) add that the objective should have a particular period for implementation. Clearly, this will help the management estimate the effectiveness of the strategy and introduce some changes if necessary. Choosing the value proposition is another essential step to implement as it is critical to understand the aspects customers will value most and will be ready to pay for. The management of the hotel decided to focus on unique experiences, which was a wise choice. The visitors could have some tours associated with environmental issues (walking tours, fishing, and so on). This can be regarded as a key element since the hotel could attract more customers. To enhance this strategy, it is possible to pay more attention to environmental and social responsibility aspects. Rae and Sands (2013) stress that the incorporation of these elements into strategy mapping translates into mid- and long-term financial gains. Nevertheless, even the focus on tours aimed at bringing people closer to nature will be beneficial as they can attract many people tired of the urban setting. It is possible to note that the chosen value proposition based on the idea of provision of a unique environmental adventure is likely to enable the organization to achieve the objectives set. The next step is the focus on fin
The various transportation forms or networks which man has created do play a significant role in our lives. Apart from them being very useful in mobility-related purposes, these channels also have a direct impact on our normal lives, based on a number of aspects. For example, some of these aspects are complex issues whose great impact has constantly affected human life socially, economically and ecologically. Various modes of transportation usually come along with different significant impacts and effects to both humans and the environment. This paper examines ‘the car’ as a common mode of transportation in the contemporary world, whereby the benefits and effects arising from this mode of transport are clearly identified and analyzed. The car, which is seen by many as the most preferable mode of transportation today, comes with many impacts to the human society and the environment (Litman 54). This mode of transportation, which involves all kind of automobiles, plays a fundamental role to the modern society. People all over the world have found it more easy and convenient to transport goods, access services, and to conduct business, among other key activities in life, through this common form of transport. The use of automobiles as a mode of transportation provides numerous economic, social and environmental benefits. One social and economic benefit of this mode of transportation is that, there is a constant increase in equity among people of low income, especially through car sharing networks, which are popular in some countries, such as Canada (Forkenbrock 18). Transportation is necessary in the contemporary world in ensuring that there is vibrant communication and interaction between people, thus paving way for effective functioning of communities. Among other modern forms of transportation, cars have been in the front line in helping people meet these significant requirements of life. This mode of transport has been viewed by many as a convenient medium which is not only affordable, but also efficient and reliable in many ways. In that case, community members from different segments of the society have found cars to be a reliable form of transportation, which they could rely upon, in meeting their mobility
Yatch Fetch Services, Inc. (YFS) Ready to Launch New Service for Its College Client Current inflation don’t impede FYS’s expansion plans and strategy New York, September 23, 2011- following 6-months of intensive and extensive research by the firm’s manager, Morgan F. Ben, who worked in collaboration with six other departmental managers including firm’s financial and accounting manager, Dan M. Geoffrey, facility and resources manager, Bin A. Jerald among others – Yatch Fetch Services has revealed its newly intent of expansion and improvement plans of its transport and travel services for staff members and the entire college students’ body at ABC campus. As transport and travel service within the campus and its surrounding areas having now been a major issue of concern for the college community, YFS Inc., a transport and travel service provider announces its recent expansion and its subsequent launch of the unique 24/7 service network in the region. Although the directing manager, Morgan Ben, believes that his decision step taken is a hard and difficult one, he is convinced that this is best way forward for the company’s growth. According to him, the habit of continual investment is the only principle that drives and changes the various organizations he has ever headed. He said ‘there is no day that this nation has ever announced or recorded as having a stable economy; and he doesn’t even remember if there is any time the nation’s economy has been said to be stable. Furthermore, in case any of these has ever happened, very little has been done by the state’s leaders to improve, or change the entrepreneurial investors’ situation in the transport industry’. YFS Inc. has planned to invest 1.2 billion in the transport industry to bring a change in the provision of transport service and in the country’s economic growth without the fear of the current business situation or circumstances. He adds ‘we have an estimate of 200 modern fleet cars for 3 to 6 passengers’ travel, a purchase estimate of 50 buses for ferrying even larger number of passengers, and finally around 40 pick-up lorries for fleeting bulk cargo that may be needed to be ferried to or from the college institution. Morgan is speaking from his acquired solid knowledge and work experiences. For many years, he has managed, directed and overseen the operations of various transport firms. He asserts that he knows very well the operation and management hindrances borne by the transport service firms. In addition, Melda Willy, the operations’ manager says the firm is very innovative and would strive to provide the best of their services to all of its affiliated clients. The firm will intensify and extensively offer its services to people from all sides of the globe. It will network from the earth’s cardin
