Introduction It is true that in the life of every child, there comes a time of fairy tales. Unfortunately, these fairy tales are just that; fairy tales. They do not culminate into anything realistic, and as one grows and reality sets in, most children become disappointed to find that their fantasies never mimic the reality. The reality is always harsher than fantasies. Talk of Spiderman and every boy in the neighborhood will have something to comment; talk of fairy tale marriages and every girl will have a couple of pages detailing how she will be married to a prince, have princesses and princes and live happily after that. The fact is, the ‘ever happily after that’ sounds sweet to many but in reality, it does not happen. The, closest this line has ever come to reality is in poetry. Anne Sexton proved this right in her poem, Cinderella. Adults should stop telling young girls about these fairy tale marriages because they do not exist in reality. They Lived Happily After that Many adults conclude their fairy tale marriages by saying, “and the couple lived happily after that.” This passes as a wild imagination that never has, and will never come to fruitage. Even in her poem Cinderella, Sexton writes so sarcastically such that the reader can sense the vagueness in the poem right from the beginning. She begins by analyzing some unusual stories that people hear in life like, “the plumber with the twelve children/ who wins the Irish Sweepstakes” (Sexton Lines 2 &3). However, she is quick to the point that; this is only but, “that story.” For sure, this is only but a story. The best thing with stories can be either true or false; either way, they find a way into the masses and win following. Some instances in this poem may be real, like a tycoon’s son marrying a house cleaner hence promoting her from zero to hero. Nevertheless, marriage has nothing to do with luck; it is a reality, a harsh reality. The fact that even poets like Sexton realize that fairy tale marriages are not real; therefore, choose to write about the fairy tale in a satirical way depicting its vagueness, is enough to stop promoting fairly tale marriages amongst young girls. Fairy Tale Marriages Are Not Real A young girl listening to an adult pushing for the abolition of these fairy tales may wonder why these fairy tales never come to be. Well, there are many reasons surrounding the fact that fairy tale marriages are not real. The greatest misconception about marriage is that people get married out of ‘true love.’ This is ironical because even there is no definition of true love. Love is not a single element that exists by its own; no, love is a combination of different virtues that have to be nurtured over time. Therefore, when people get married u
Overview The intervention in question is based on the idea of the learning community (Brophy, 2010). It can be applied in many disciplines, but the teacher should use a creative approach. This project will be called a Year Book 2016: Historical Insights . It aims at increasing students’ motivation to study history. The high school students will create an album of pictures and descriptions of themselves and their peers. Each student will have a page with two pictures (a photo and a cartoon) and two texts describing him/her as a historical personality. The work will involve interviewing and discussions that will take place every week. Students will be encouraged to share their backgrounds, their plans, expectations and so. The teacher will also share as there will be the corresponding page. The students will keep diaries with notes and their ideas. Discussion of historical figures will take place each week as well. Literature Review The basic source used is the book by Brophy (2010). The author dwells upon the benefit of creating the so-called learning community. Brophy (2010) describes ways to incorporate this strategy and make it effective. Importantly, the researcher stresses that the teacher has to be a model and use certain authoritative power to manage the classroom activities. Another important source focuses on particula
Introduction The Food service industry has experienced significant growth over the past few decades. This growth and development has been facilitated by the contributions of some of the innovative individuals in the industry. One person who has made considerable contributions to society’s food service management is Thomas S. Monaghan. This great American entrepreneur has contributed to the hospitality industry field through innovations made by his successful fast food pizza franchise, Domino’s Pizza. This paper will set out to describe Monaghan with particular focus on his company, and the contributions that he has made to the hospitality industry. Brief History of Thomas S Monaghan Thomas S Monaghan was born in March 25, 1937 to his father who was a trucker and his mother who was a nurse. Monaghan’s father died in 1921 when Monaghan was four years old leaving the task of raising Monaghan to his mother. As a nurse whose job provided her with very low weekly wages, Monaghan’s mother was unable to provide for her two sons and they were soon taken into an orphanage in 1943. While at the orphanage, Monaghan was under the care of nuns and this led to his deep devotion to the Catholic faith (Zuber 141). Monaghan and his brother stayed in the orphanage for the next six years and they were eventually taken back by their mother in 1949. Monaghan served with the US Marine Corps from 1956 to 1959 when he was honorably discharged and after this, he returned to Michigan where he enrolled for a degree in architecture at the University of Michigan. While in school, Monaghan collaborated with his brother to open a small pizza business which was expected to help pay for his education (Dicke 134). However, Monaghan ended up dropping out of school and running the business on a full time basis with great success. Domino’s Pizza Domino’s was started in December 1960 by the two Monaghan brothers, Thomas and James. The two bought a small pizza shop called Dominick’s in Ypsilanti, Michigan using the $900 loan the
Introduction Probation officers are professional workers serving in the juvenile justice system (courts). Due to ethnic, gender and cultural factors, the probation officers happen to develop a certain attitude and perception towards girls. Varying environmental factors like scarcity of resources and other problems have contributed to the failure of girls to meet their expected behaviors. This has made the probation officers, psychologists and other officers working in the juvenile judicial system to develop a negative perception and hostility over girls. They view girls as criers, liars and manipulators just as the topic suggests. These conditions have made girls disadvantaged while seeking justice in the juvenile courts and other programs offered. In relation to this, we will be discussing the role of gender, sexuality, age, race and class in the juvenile judicial system. The paper will also explore the presence of gender bias in different stages of crime processing. The article is about the perception of girls held by juvenile probation officers and other professionals involved in the juvenile court decision making. According to the article, an environment marked with scarcity of resources, racial/ethnic stereotypes and gender leave girls with few options for treatment and services in the juvenile courts. There exists a lot of criticism in the juvenile justice system over inadequate attention to the needs and situations of girls. Due to economic and social forces like homelessness, sexual abuse and immigration restrictions, girls fail to fulfill the expectations of probation officers in terms of behaviors. The family of Yunior had left Santo Domingo and migrated to United States of America where they were looking for a better life, it was only three years in the United States but major changes could be seen especially on the mother of Yunior who had gained some significant weight. The sister to Yuniors’ mother, Tia, had succeeded in coming to United States and that was a reason enough for celebration because she had made it to the land of opportunities. Yunior had a problem when he had to travel by his fathers’ car because he would end up vomiting in the car and as a precaution his father had instructed him never to take any food whenever they were going to go for a ride in his car. Temptation to eat so
The article, “Perspectives on the Delegation of Hygienic Care in the Context of Home Nursing: A Qualitative Study,” is written by Dumitrescu et al. In this article, the authors conduct a study to determine how hygienic care delegation takes place in-home nursing (Dumitrescu et al., 2018). In today’s healthcare systems, practices have evolved, including attending to patients in their homes. Similarly, nurses’ roles have changed to include delegating care to health care assistants, and hygiene is considered a vital component of nursing. The authors focused on understanding personal care, exploring home nurses’ experience concerning the delegation, and determining criteria that home nurses use to delegate or monitor services. The key points to be covered in this paper include professional delegation, hygienic care, and barriers to providing better care. Professional delegation refers to a process by which a healthcare worker who owns legal authority to carry out controlled acts transfers their authority to another person. In most cases, nursing diagnostic practices are the basis for personal care delegation. From the study, the authors mention that the most common approach involves assessing a person’s situation and needs per the diagnosis or nursing indicators (Dumitrescu et al., 2018). During delegation of nursing tasks, it is reported that the person who authorizes remains accountable despite the personal care involved. Authors report that the most common criterion for delegation used is a close collaboration between care providers. Hygienic care refers to a cyclical care process where nurses continually invest in relationships with patients, assess their needs, and take necessary actions. The care process at home and its delivery should be mutually agreed upon with patients considering the environment or lifestyles. The author reveals that the decision to delegate hygienic care depends on assessments of patients’ needs using indicators or diagnoses (Dumitrescu et al., 2018). In nursing practice, hygienic care is essential and should be delated to assistants with apparent supervision. Delegation of personal care can be hindered by factors such as financial and legal constraints identified by the authors (Dumitrescu et al., 2018). Care from community services incurs expenses to patients such that they might refuse services because the national insurance caters to nursing care at home. Also, community support and home care nursing have different jurisdictions: hence, the former cannot be integrated by the home nursing team, and a lack of proper supervision occur impeding communications Personal care is a vital component of in-home nursing, and it is the basis on which professionals can establish positive relationships with patients, families, and the community. In my experience, home nursing care does not improve without the development of trust between patients and professionals. Once a bond has been established, it
Introduction At Vila Health, heart diseases are some of the most common health issues that nurses, clinicians, and other health professionals have to deal with as they are frequently presented. In the United States, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with a mortality rate of about 30%, with more than 50% of deaths occurring before arrival at health facilities (Virani et al., 2021). Moreover, between 5% and 10% of those who survive die within the first year of the condition’s onset (CDC, 2021). Furthermore, approximately 50% of all patients are hospitalized within the first year of the initial event (Benjamin et al., 2019). Therefore, AMI is the leading cause of death among all the ischemic heart conditions and one of the diseases with the highest mortality rates in the country. Therefore, there is a need for continuous progress and improvement in the care provided to AMI patients to ensure high quality of life for these individuals after their discharge from the health care facilities. Angina, the telltale sign of low blood flow to the heart, is normally symptomized by agonizing pain radiating from the chest down towards the l
Major Issues There are four major issues in this case study. The first two major issues are directly related to the case. The third and fourth issues are indirectly related to the case. The first major issue is the need for the Video Game Company (“VGC”) to incorporate Digital Rights Management (“DRM”) software to all the products manufactured by the said firm. The purpose of the said DRM software is to protect the intellectual rights of the company. The second major issue is the right of Brian to receive purchased goods that are safe and have relative value. The addition of the DRM software rendered the product untenable and almost useless from the point of view of the customer. The third major issue is not directly related to the problem of the DRM glitch. The third major issue is the perceived benefit of piracy when it comes to sharing of information to promote innovation, creativity, and improvements on products purchased through a legitimate process. The fourth major issue is the encompassing goal of the VGC to end all types of piracy. The objective that Leads to a Solution The primary objective is to help Brian navigate through the anti-piracy software without resorting to unethical solutions. The secondary objective is for VGC to provide quality service to the customer without violating the rules and regulations of the company. Although it is important to resolve Brian’s ongoing problem, it is also imperative to look into the future and determine the long-term effects of piracy laws. Without a doubt, anti-piracy laws are needed to protect the interest of business owners, inventors, and creative people. However, there is a need to eradicate impractical laws that stifle the sharing of ideas. Alternatives Contemplated Brian was confronted with two choices. The first one was to download a “cracked” copy of the game. The “cracked” copy contains all the installer data needed to run the game minus the DRM software. Going through the said path is comparable to a journey through an ethical minefield. The act of downloading a “cracked” game is considered piracy from the point of view of VGC. A secondary solution to the problem is to continuously monitor the progress of VGC’s support staff and wait for the delivery of the software patch that will hopefully solve the DRM issues. This is not a practical approach based on the progress made and the actions that were done to rectify the problem. The third alternative is to establish an online community comprised of members who felt that they were victims of unscrupulous business strategies in relation to impractical anti-piracy initiatives. The main goal of the online community is to pressure VGC to provide high-quality service to its customers. The secondary purpose of the online community
Introduction This research seeks to find answers to questions on how a company’s CSR initiatives affect its employee retention. The research questions that this research will address include the extent to which companies involve their employees in CSR initiatives, how involvement of employees in CSR activities affect their decision to stay, and the extent of variation in terms of involvement of low-level employees and executive employees in CSR activities. The question of how company’s involvement in CSR and how it affects turnover and retention is remarkable since every company is interested in retaining its pool of talents. A well-researched response to the query that this proposal puts across will be used to solve the problem of employee turnover, which has been a major issue that faces companies in the Kingdom of Sound Arabia (KSA). Statement of research question Companies will also use CSR as a tool for internal marketing in a bid to pull the employees closer. When employees become good corporate citizens, their interest to turnover will be reduced. This claim has been proven by companies such as General Motors and General Electric, which have deployed CSR in the KSA where it (CSR) is still seen as a programme for giving back some profits to the community, rather than upholding it for the sake of company employees. The cost of carrying out CSR is low in relation to the cost that is incurred because of turnover. The proposal seeks to confirm whether communicating and integrating effective CSR within the workforce can have multiple benefits to the community, top employees, and the lower employees. To be inclusive in the survey, the target segment will comprise low-level and senior employees. Concern of HR Manager with information-withholding by employees Some employees may withhold informa
The television set is one of the most common products of technology in most homes. It is very hard to envision how life would be in the contemporary society without a television set, because although better media gadgets have been invented, for example, computers and smart phones, non of these gadgets receives wide acceptance like the TV. One thing that has made TVs to be the most common electronic gadget is that, unlike in the past when TVs were only viewed as a source of updated information, presently TVs are also watched for recreational purposes, because of their numerous entertainment programs. Therefore, because TVs are watched by people of all classes, races, and ages, they have become one of the most effective means of communication in present societies. On the other hand, although most TV programs are very relaxing and informative, some programs have bad influences and can act as an obstacle to development of good behaviour and certain skills more so in children, for example, language, motor and, social skills. However, although such negative influences exist, if the watching is done in a responsible and controlled manner, watching television is one of the most beneficial activities that individuals can engage themselves in. TVs are one of the primary sources of relaxing entertainment, because of their numerous entertainment programs with different story lines and features. For example, TVs have different comedy and music programs, which are very entertaining and can sometimes act as stress relievers. Watching the TV is one of the most relaxing activities, because in most cases, as one is wat
Introduction Angels and Insects is a classical pair of works written by A.S. Byatt. The novellas examine the complexity and nature of human thoughts and relationships. It is a fable exploring the themes of love, infidelity and incest. The author also examines the theories of sexuality and human breeding. The book explores the issue of popular culture as practiced in our societies. In the first novella entitled Morpho Eugenia, the author has examined the nature of the human soul including how it relates with the other people. This paper will choose a passage from the first novella to explore the connections between the author’s work and popular culture. Context of the Selected Passage In the novella Morpho Eugenia, the author sets the story in Victorian England. The story begins by presenting William Adamson. Adamson is a famous naturalist who had spent several years in the jungles of Amazon. The naturalist had been studying different kinds of insects and animals. At the time, a shipwreck rendered him penniless. He lost his assets and possessions after the shipwreck. After the wreck, William finds his way to the home of Reverend Alabaster [1] . The reverend was an amateur in insect collection but had enormous riches. The wealthy reverend became his benefactor. After finding his way into Alabaster’s estate, William fell in love with Eugenia. Eugenia was the eldest daughter. Although Eugenia was weak, the passage indicates that she was still beautiful [2] . At the time, Eugenia was mourning the sudden death of a fiancée. Since she was from a rich estate, William believed that she was beyond his reach. However, William decided to start an affair with her. The real story began after Eugenia accepted her proposal and fell in love with William. The two married and began a family together. The two had a wedding ceremony after Eugenia’s parents approved the affair. It is also acknowledgeable that Eugenia brother, Edgar, was against the affair. He always said that William was from the poor class. This means he was not the right person to marry his sister. Later afterwards, Eugenia gave birth to children in a short time. Eugenia gave the first son the name Edgar. She wanted to name her child after his own brother whom she said she loved the most. During the time, William never warmed up for the children. He spent most of his precious time writing and studying. He was also writing several observations from his studies. A publishing company accepted the work thereby opening new opportunities for him [3] . The climax comes when William realizes that his wife was having a sexual affair with her brother. After William found the two having incest, Eugenia admitted that they had been having sex for years with Edgar. She had been unable to quench h
Abstract Physicians worldwide prescribe anticoagulation therapy to treat and prevent blood coagulation. However, this therapeutic intervention has a narrow window, which requires the patient to frequently monitor the international normalized ratio (INR) to minimize thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. The point-of-care (POC) and laboratory-run (LRT) testing are the two anticoagulant measurement approaches through which patients routinely observe the prothrombin time for clinical decision-making. Although POC tests are widely used due to their rapid turnaround time and convenience, users are advised to periodically validate the results obtained from the self-assessment with the findings of a standardized and automated laboratory. This paper evaluates the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) aspect of the two anticoagulant measurement approaches particularly regarding the effectiveness, validity, and confidence levels of their results. Introduction Anticoagulants are medications prescribed by physicians to prevent or eliminate the risk of blood clotting. People with the likelihood of blood coagulation are highly susceptible to developing life-threatening conditions caused by the blockage of a vein or artery supplying blood to critical boy organs. Doctors recommend anticoagulants to people presenting various specific conditions, including abnormal heartbeat and blood circulation challenges, among others. Although these medications are essential in preventing and reducing the progression of thromboembolic disease, physicians recommend regular blood tests known as the international normalized ratio to determine if the
