Education is of great importance and is currently given more value than it was about a hundred years ago. Every parent in this day and age believes that the best lifelong asset that he or she can give to their child is education. Unlike in the old days, education is currently taking place in modernized institutions where the mode of instruction is also modernized. There is the use of organized syllabus for various subjects. Learning takes place chronologically from one grade to the next. The student has the freedom to choose the subjects that suite their future careers. They also take part in co-curricular activities to exploit their talents. A school is an institution in which teaching and learning take place concurrently. Teaching is basically known as the art of imparting knowledge and skills to individuals so as to mould a positively minded and goal oriented person that the society can turn to or rely on for the sake of its prosperity and development. Every school setting tries to bring out the best in their students. Schools make curricular that offer the type of education that meets the communities’ needs. For example, all or most communities and thus nations at large require professionals like teachers, doctors, lawyers actors just to mention but a few. These professionals also need to be people who have values such as high self esteem. From the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, high esteem is experienced when a person feels valued, accepted, respected and with a sense of belonging whether it is at work, in school or while pursuing a hobby (Kreitner, 2006, p. 12). All school settings should be a
Introduction Hardly ever has the word “complaint” been used in a positive sense. Originally, it comes from Latin where it meant “hit” or, figuratively, “hit on the chest.” Although some businesses happen to treat complaints as hostile fault-finding and try to avoid or ignore them, complaints are claimed to have a positive outcome and, thus, should be managed properly. Analysis Nowadays, a complaint tends to be associated with pain, discontent, and irritation. This word can stand for a medical disease or a legal claim. It is, therefore, obvious that no one enjoys getting complaints. However, a complaint is one of the ways for the customer to inform the business on how to continue developing. Businesses strive to put the best foot forward in order to make products or provide services. Despite this, clients have enough courage to say that they do not appreciate the endeavor. What is more, businesses should welcome such applications and attitude. A complaint can be treated as a means of expression. Customers tend to groan and moan, which might seem unfair at first, but their message appears to provide crucial information for the further development of the organization. Hence, a complaint proves to be a gift. As a matter of fact, complaints are acknowledged to be feedback which helps businesses to quickly and cheaply amend their production quality, service style, and working directions in order to comply with the customer’s requirements. In the long run, these are clients who any business is based on and who purchase products and services. Therefore, a complaint should be viewed as a strategic tool or, in other words, as a means for the business to find out something about the products and services which have not been known yet. Complaints, thus, can become an asset but neither a loss nor expenditures (Knox and Van Oest 44-46). It is a universal truth that a business does not exist without clients. Complaints are one of the main means of direct communication with a customer. Nowadays, the concept of a client has been broadened. Presently, a client is not the one who pays but anyone who benefits from services and products, including patients, students, and public transport passengers. Besides, there has appeared a notion of an internal client which implies colleagues and the management. Customers have found themselves at the top of the hierarchical structure of the organization. They ar

Reproductive and sexual health is critical to a happy and fulfilling life. Improving it contributes to lower health costs, reduces disease levels, eliminates inequalities, and provides more opportunities for people (“Reproductive and sexual health,” 2020). If problems are ignored, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) spread, infertility, or fetal health problems occur. Despite the importance of taking care of this aspect of health, some groups of the population suffer from its lack more than the rest. Societies may accept gender and sexual diversity in various ways. Somewhere, representatives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community are treated better, and somewhere, on the contrary, the attitude can be quite cruel. Feeling discriminated and stigmatized, LGBTI people do not receive the necessary support for their health and experience difficulties receiving treatment. Moreover, bias against LGBTI also negatively affects people’s mental health. At the same time, sexual health involves not only physical but also emotional, mental, and social well-being (“Sexual Health,” 2019). A person’s gender and sexual expression depend on several factors – biological sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation (Pepper, 2019). Society should understand that they can be determined independently of each other and are not required to comply with heteronormative rules (Pepper, 2019). Health and self-expression are inalienable human rights, and therefore the issue needs attention. Employees of medical organizations, in particular nurses, have a responsibility to the LGBTI community to promote health and non-discrimination. Besides providing information to society on disease prevention and health maintenance, it is also essential to develop personal communication skills and cultural competence. It is necessary to create conditions in which LGBTI people will not feel uncomfortable communicating with hospital staff and will not be afraid to seek help. Thus, there are obstacles to promoting sexual and reproductive health among LGBTI people, and they must be overcome to improve the nation’s health.
To start with, Flannery O’Connor was an American novelist and story writer born in the 1925 year. In 1965, she published the book, consisting of several short stories, called “Everything That Rises Must Converge.” This book involves a piece of literature called “Greenleaf,” describing the story of Mrs. May, who experiences a conflict concerning social class struggle with Mr. Greenleaf, her employee, and two of his sons. At the beginning of the “Greenleaf” short story, Mrs. May has a dream where a bull destroys her life and the lives of her two unmarried sons. Interestingly enough, opposite to Mr. Greenleaf’s children, Mrs. May’s sons are not interested in farming, which their mother owns. Thus, children here can be considered a symbol: successful sons represent the happiness of Mr. Greenleaf’s life, while unwillingness to work and marry Mrs. May’s sons stands for the meaningless of her own life. Moreover, the crucial symbol in this story is a bull because he appears not only in the dream but also on the actual farm of Mrs. May. It turned out that Mr. Greenleaf’s sons are the owner of the bull that scares Mrs. May. When she realizes who is the owner of the scaring animal, she insists that Mr. Greanleaf should put the bull away from her farm or shoot it. At the end of the story, Mrs. May appears to be killed by this bull, which is ironic because it happens when the animal itself should be killed. Interestingly enough, the wife of Mr. Greenleaf was represented as a very religious woman who always prayed for Jesus attacking her heart to be pure from any sins. That is why, when Mrs. May becomes killed by the bull’s horns, one can see the animal as the symbol representing Jesus. To conclude, different symbols can be seen in Flannery O’Connor’s “Greenleaf” short story. Moreover, such symbolism opposes Mr. Greenleaf’s life to Mrs. May’s one, which raises the topic of social class struggle. The final scene, where the bull’s horns are killing the story’s main character as it was in her dream, stands for the idea of Jesus attacking the heart of Mr. Greenleaf’s very religious wife.
Introduction Every community has its own way of expressing spirituality through rites and ceremonies. This happens to be the same case with Native American communities. From ancient times, these communities have seasons when they perform their rituals. For example, in times of prolonged droughts, communities opt for rites and ceremonies to appease God who will then bring rain. Some communities perform rites and ceremonies during circumcision, marriage and certain celebrations. In diverse North American communities, people consider myths as folktales. Most importantly is that, these myths appear to centre on ordinary people and not gods. Nevertheless, the stance of North Americans is that the whole lot is vivacious by divinity. This means that all creatures and places are celestial. Thus, it is never good to characterise or name people after things or objects because, combined principles are more vital than personage privileges. Rites and ceremonies had their own significance especially those related to spirituality. Some communities used objects to symbolise events and perhaps, as a gift to gods. For example, ancient communities have used tobacco in very many ways. Among the Indians, tobacco (pipe), tobacco is a sacrosanct plant to be used in rites and ceremonies. On the other hand, some communities use pipe as medicine and yet others use it to signify diplomacy, generosity and religion. Of particular interest is how two North American communities, Ojibwoy and Lakota, conceptualised the pipe especially when it came to matters of rites and ceremonies. The two communities had similarities and differences on the pipe. (Native American Myths 1). Ojibwoy and Lakota: Conceptions of the pipe Native American communities used the pipe (calumet) in ceremonies and ethnic rituals. The Ojibwoy and Lakota communities in North America made exceedingly decorated pipes and used them in very special circumstances for example, rites and ceremonies. Each of the two communities had its own conceptions regarding the pipe. However, the conceptions turned out to be similar at one point. To Lakota and Ojibwoy, the pipe was a religious and celebrated icon linked with the White Buffalo Calf Woman. Legends from Lakota and Ojibwoy agree on the origin of the pipe. Diverse literature materials on Ojibwoy and Lakota communities link an inexplicable woman as the one who mysteriously brought the pipe into these communities. Later on, the woman became a White Buffalo Calf Woman with great spiritual powers. It did not stop here as the woman went further to instruct tribal leaders and chiefs to first smoke the pipe ahead of rites and ceremonies in order to signify peace. Even today, the pipe is extremely imperative to Ojibwoy and Lakota rites and ceremonies. The two communities regard the pipe as an arbitrator between humankind and their gods. These communities believed that the smoking of tobacco in the pipe
People visit doctors to obtain nutrition advice from them in order to gain tools that can be used to optimize health. However, it seems that certitude of health cannot be found in this manner. Apparently, all advice sought in this way is regarded as pure conjecture and educated guess work. It seems that numbers and statistics have all the answers to answers aimed towards optimizing health. The interpretation of health tests, treatments and staying well are all based on probability and statistics. An immense measure of statistical appeal in this sense comes from numerous real examples that aid in understanding the underpinnings of health. However, statistics has the likelihood of being misinterpreted which affects attitudes in regards to survival. In his essay, Stephen Gould affirms that statistics matter when it comes to interpreting and understanding medical issues. Through the real life examples he offers, even the most reluctant person is able to see that statistics does play an important part in every area of life. According to him, survival is simply a game of probability. A person can live based on a number of factors that play a part in his or her life. At the same time, he argues that correlation is not always a function of causation. By deftly whisking his audience through the median distributions, he plunges into a lot of regression analysis that separates cause and effect. He also utilizes regression analysis as an engine to explain these two aspects quite clearly. Through this, random statistics can be obtained, which can be used for either good or evil. This apt demonstration of the success or failure of numbers and statistics is useful for interpretation of various issues. Just like statistics, he also cautions that nothing is certain in this world, but there is also a time for everything to happen. Dunn insists that those who consider statistics useless are rebellious, and they are missing the point in many aspects. It seems that statistics is of central importance in the interpretation of both present and past events. For instance, he says
This paper is a discussion on the topic of risk management in the events industry. The paper is based on the question as to what extend is risk management essential in the events industry. The paper explores the topic in detail and especially pays special attention to the essence of risk management, through the presentation of the two sides of the debate. The paper uses examples to explain various arguments. It draws from various academic sources including books, journals and web resources. At the end is a conclusion which sums up the main arguments of the paper. The first issue to arise in risk management is the nature of risk management. It is important to underscore the fact that every one of us wishes that the future was as predictable as possible. In fact, if it were possible, everyone would like to have the ability to determine what would happen in the future so that all the plans which we have may go on without any form of hitches (Yeoman, Robertson, Ali-Knight, Drummond, McMahon & Beattie, 2004). A risk as an event or anything which is foreseen to happen in the future with some negative effects on a subject or an object. It is associated with uncertainty of what the future may hold for a particular entity, be it a person, group of persons or organizations. Some people may confuse a risk with an uncertainty. While a risk can be measured in terms of probability of happening, it is not possible to calculate the probability of an uncertainty happening (Rutherford, 2008). Since it is not always possible to foresee the future or to correctly predict what may happen in the future, it is necessary to put in place some preparedness measures so as to minimize the negative effects of a negative future. That is why we have risk management, which is defined as the process of identification, assessment and prioritization of the possible risks (Tarlow, 2002). The events industry has various risks just like any other industry. Various events ranging from concerts, festivals, tradeshows, sporting events, political events and various types of ceremonies have their unique risks (Stellman, 1998). These events are usually undertaken by organizations which do event management as a business. Examples of risks which are associated with the events industry include risks related to financial, legal, security, safety and environmental aspects (Glenn, et al 2010). The organizations concerned with events management are therefore obliged to do all what it takes to ensure that all the possible risks are properly mitigated. A recent example of a risky event is the Washington hayride in which 40 people were injured (Ashutosh, 2009). All event planners dream of organizing very successful events so as to gain some good reputation not only from the participants of the event but also from other people, companies or organizations which may like to hire them for similar services. In most cases, they are always successful. This makes them assume that all is well but they forget that ther
Introduction Language has so far been the evolutionary device that has created a sense of cultural identity for people in the world today . There has also been a growing interest when it comes to the subject of culture and language in practice of English language teaching. This growing interest raises concerns of the survival of cultural identity. Language is said to have a dual character. This is according to Wei (2005). It is both a carrier of culture and a means of communication. It is unthinkable to have language without culture and similarly culture without language. The relation between language and culture is described by Brown (1994) to be mutual whereby each is part of the other. This implies that the two are interwoven and they cannot be separated. If in case they are separated, the significance of the other is lost. However, looking at these concepts in the context of teaching and learning, Goa (2006) says that they are interdependence. This is in the sense that when one teaches language, culture has to be taught simultaneously. Similarly when students learn language they simultaneously learn culture. This paper discusses how language and culture interaction raises for the practice of English language teaching. Language and culture Tomlin (2008) considers teaching culture as a language skill among writing, reading, speaking, and reading. In the context of teaching English language, Tomlin (2008) says that globalization and the global role that English language plays in the world today are the two main reasons for teaching culture. Teaching culture when teaching English provides the students with the opportunity to appreciate and understand values. It also equips them with the knowledge of different ways of doing things. The students are made to use as a way of accepting differences in the global society. In order to teach culture in practice of ELT, the teacher has to have cultural knowledge, cultural value, cultural behavior, and cultural skills. Cultural knowledge is the entirety of culture within the society. Cultural skills refer to the ability to be aware and have intercultural sensitivity when using English language to communicate and interact with others. Cultural knowledge refers to the awareness of daily routines within the society, whereas cultural value is the awareness of what people regard to be important in the society. All these aspects have to be displayed during practice of English language teaching. It is not quite easy to teach culture when teaching language. Basically, the role that teachers play when teaching culture is that of guidance. This means that the teachers only get to show the way of how thin
Introduction Terrorism is one of the most serious criminal activities and it has greatly jeopardized world peace and safety. Defining terrorism is not very easy and its meaning has been subjected to a lot of debate by many scholars. “Terrorism can be defined as a tactic used by a small set of extremists to fight against an overwhelmingly powerful opponent while surrounded by a large population that mostly just wants peace”. The use of military is not the only way of dealing with terrorism. It is possible to defeat terrorism through these strategies. “First, it is important to understand how terrorists are kept away in the best case, then how terrorists can fight against this mechanism”. Finally, in order to foil those aims, it is imperative to determine the strategies that can work, and those that cannot. Defeating Terrorism Terrorism can be defeated if many people in the society can trust the authorities in their work. If people have faith in the authorities, they will inform them about terrorist activities. The Unabomber who killed many people through mail bombs was finally forwarded to the F.B.I. In this case, it was his brother who identified his writings and informed the authorities about his actions. He took that step because he believed in the authorities. “Terrorist acts can never be totally eliminated, but a cohesive community that trusts its authorities can defeat a continuing terrorist movement”. A more complicated situation in dealing with terrorism arises when a society has not been civilized, and they also do not trust their authorities. In this regard, terrorists find support from sympathizers, who might not want to be part of the terrorists, but are against the authorities. One of the best tactics employed by terrorists is creating misunderstandings between people and the authorities. Terrorists become stronger when they erode that trust. They do this to weaken the thin blue line. “The ordinary people, or at least some of them, support those they see as fighting for freedom, religious faith, or patriotism against overwhelming odds”. Strategies for Defeating Terrorism The important question is how to defeat terrorists after understanding their tactics? When people begin to isolate them as criminals, by reporting them to police authorities, then they have defeated them. What weapons can be effective in fighting them? It would be naïve to think that terrorists can only be eliminated by killing all of them. Such a naïve strategy cannot work in the real world. In an attempt to find and kill terrorists, many innocent people will either be injured or killed. This can make some of their friends, and siblings to contemplate joining terrorists as away of retaliating. Moreover, this will produce more terrorists than those destroyed. Therefore, if military confrontation is used most of
Introduction The volition of the mind is important in the determination of its attention. In order to capture attention, marketing campaigns apply several strategies. Marketing experts use factors in both the object and the individual to attain this objective. The advertisement for Masafi Alkalife pH9 water utilizes several strategies to capture the attention of the viewer and market the product effectively. It is an effective campaign because it incorporates several concepts that have been discussed in class: stimulus factors and incentive motivation. Incentive motivation Incentive motivation refers to the situation in which a person gets a reward after engaging in a certain activity. The advert utilizes this concept effectively because it shows the negative effects of dehydration and the benefits of hydration. On one hand, dehydrated individuals are represented as sluggish, lazy, and unenergetic. On the other hand, hydrated individuals are represented as energetic, lively, charismatic, and happy. This concept is utilized effectively because the advertisement passes t
