Introduction Art has been evolving for many years since time immemorial. One of the reasons as to why it is pretty difficult to date the time artwork began is because the practice is as old as human beings. However art gained its known exponential growth within the last one thousand years. This was the era when the famous Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci brought their paintworks into fame. It was also during this period that the famous painter Titan exposed his remarkable talent through paintings. The real names of Titian are Tiziano Vecellio. He was ranked the best artist of the (sixteenth) century. He is well known because of his extraordinary use of color in his paintings. Titian used his paintings to influence the society greatly. Thus he contributed to all the major initiatives of art and related works. His paintings could touch on all sectors of life to exhibit the mythology and cultural practices of the prevailing environment. Titian’s trainers were Giovanni Bellini (1459-1516) and Giorgione (1478-1510) of which Giovanni was influential because he used a tonal approach in his artwork and for his landscape styles that were quite evocative. Thus Titian and Giovanni worked in a similar way to the extent of making the situation hard for the artistic world to fix the boundaries between their works. The works of Titan are celebrated way beyond the national border of Italy to the entire planet. His timely works include the drawings of landscape and goat and two Satyrs in a landscape which exemplified mythological figures in a fine landscape whose naturally occurring picturesque contrasts sharply with the ordered arrangement that is at equilibrium. Early years The early years of Titian were marked with major achievements of his life. When he was nine years old he went to Venice with his elder brother to his uncle’s home for a stay. The other reason why Titan went to Venice is because he wanted to partner with
Professional’s Women’s Clothing and Accessories for Interviews in America Wearing the right accessories to an interview is an important part of making the right impression in an interview. The importance of wearing the right accessory is especially important for women. Experts say that female accessories differ from “normal” wear because few accessories make a better impression of the interviewee. Similarly, experts say it is incorrect for female interviewees to wear too many accessories because wearing too many accessories does not create a humble impression of their personalities. Similarly, it is crucial for women to wear accessories that complement their clothing, as opposed to overwhelming it. Concerning jewelry, some experts say women should refrain from wearing a dangling jewelry (like dangling earrings) in an interview. Similarly, women should not wear many bracelets in an interview. Women should also conceal tattoos and piercings because they are inappropriate for interviews. Therefore, depending on where interviewees have their tattoo, it is advisable for women to consider covering it for the duration of the interview. Experts also advise that wearing hats in interviews is disrespectful to the interviewers because it is unprofessional for first time interviewees to wear hats. This requirement applies to any type of interview. Relatively, women should not wear hooded jackets, or informal clothing such as sweat pants because they have hats or extensions on their fabric. Women should also refrain from wearing extensively high-heeled shoes in interviews because it is inappropriate for fist time interviewees to wear such shoes in their first appearance at interviews. Since making a good impression in an interview is very important to the interviewee, women should also refrain from wearing platform shoes. Instead, closed-toe pumps are appropriate for interviews. A neutral color is most desirable. If a woman wears an outfit that has a provision for a belt, she should have a matching belt. Alternatively, the belt could match any other accessory that the woman wears (such as a bag or a pair of shoes). When it comes to hair and makeup, professionals advise women to have simple hairdos and wear minimal makeup to exude humility during the interview. Here, women should always be subtle with their hairstyles an
Introduction Social scientists engaging in the study of human behaviour fail to establish a stronger correlation that is well-defined and understood between psychological features and individual behaviours that are likely to be employed effectively in analyzing the fraudulent tendency of perpetrators. Many people in the business and corporate world are known to be law-abiding, but researchers, both in the field of psychology and finance, ask themselves several questions regarding what went on in the early 1990s to 2000s. This is because fraud was the order of the day among senior managers and those charged with the role of policy formulation in big organizations (Hartog & Belschak 2012, p. 35). This irrational enthusiasm was mainly attributed to greed and dishonesty, but current studies suggest otherwise because the personality of an individual determines his or her corporate behaviour. In fact, people in the corporate world rarely resort to fraud and misappropriation of public funds to attain their selfish interests. Criminologists offer three explanations as regards the fraudulent behaviour, one of them being a supply of motivated offenders. Again, white-collar crimes take place because the suitable targets are available while others are likely to happen once the capable guardians are missing. The explanation is in line with the idea white-collar crime is often committed by choice, meaning available opportunities and motivation determines the type of crime that an individual is likely to commit. Therefore, crime, irrespective of the type, is largely influenced by the environment in the sense that an individual dealing with money is tempted to divert it to other channels. White-collar criminals feel that they have access to the means that would allow them to steal without being noticed. The rate of professional crime varies directly with the supply of illegal opportunities, as well as the supply of people and organizations vulnerable or motivated to utilize them whereas the rate and occurrence of the offence vary inversely with the strength and strictness of rule of enforcement. The studies on crime, especially the white-collar offences, show that variations of business cycles and cultures related to crime, which are often in conflict with the social, moral, and officially permitted norms of behaviour, have strong correlations with the soaring rates of professional crime. For instance, whenever there is a feeling that everyone is getting rich in the society, professionals in various organizations tend to believe that leaving any opportunity is a great mistake hence they always explore the avenues to defraud the organization. Again, the underperformance of huge conglomerates and well-established organizations, such as Enron, Nortel, and Cisco encourages individuals to engage in illegitimate earnin
Problem Statement The use of renewable energy is increasingly becoming common in recent years. The Paris Treaty ratified in 2015 laid out the obligations of decarbonization to ensure minimal levels of greenhouse gases (Taminiau and Byrn 1). Specifically, capping global warming at about 1.5 Degrees Celsius puts an immediate plan in preparing and deploying viable, scalable, and replicable possible energy approaches with more emphasis on urban and industrialized places. Local governments and cities are responsible for identifying and installing appropriate solutions focusing on sustainable energy (Taminiau and Byrn 2). New York City seeks to maximize sustainable and renewable energy usage. However, its increased reliance on electric power contrasts with this desired emission drop objective. For instance, among its dedication to the 2015 Paris Accord, its authorities have set a vision of fully powering the city’s operations through renewable energy (Taminiau and Byrn 6). To attain this magnificent feat, more than 70 percent of urban-extensive power usage needs to emanate from green sources. Goals and Objectives Internationally, more than 700 cities have devoted themselves to using renewable energy sources in connection with the 2015 Paris Treaty. Concepts such as net-zero energy, decarbonized, 100 percent renewable energy structures, and carbon-neutral are frequently used coupled with the application of many other various aims and approaches. These scenarios and concepts all set up targets and principles toward more sustainable and renewable futures for every city. Overall, these point to a determination towards a domestic shift to a sustainable and renewable energy future, although these rarely match with global transition (Thellufsen et al. 2). Therefore, it is essential for all cities, including those that are yet to commit to this strategy fulfill a sustainable energy transition. Currently, the amount of photovoltaic production capacity is merely 15.5 percent. The problem of profound decarbonization aggravates pressure on the existing electric potential. The production and utilization of electricity are key to the municipal’s greenhouse gas releases, accounting for about fifteen million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Since its in-city fleet produces roughly 50 percent of electric power, it is a considerable contributor to greenh
Antigone believes that the living must give their deceased appropriate funeral rites. She cares deeply about this principle that she does not second guess herself even amid a probable death sentence. In reality, her sister Ismene attempted to remind her how helpless she was against Creon’s commands. In return she replied, “I will continue to conduct burial ceremonies for Polynice on my own; the lower-most kind of disobedience is death ” (Puchner 728). Furthermore, the playwright indicates that the living indeed have to protect the interests of the departed. Remarkably, the sentry responsible for preserving Polynices’ body is distracted when he learns that the corpse has dust all over it, which perhaps means that a process of burial had been completed. He communicates to Creon, who interviewed Antigone for the same purpose. She firmly justifies her conduct, and she does not dispute her participation. She provides a convincing case to defend the legitimacy of her acts, but regrettably, she has been sentenced to death by Creon. Similarities and Differences of American Values Citizenship is and will always be a central element of the American identity since the importance of nationalism coincides with it. Hence, it is the willingness of a person to place America’s best interests ahead of their own. Effectively, it is an emergent phenomenon that gives a person an advantage that shelters them from turmoil in the country. None of these values, nevertheless, are accessible because they must only be granted by the state itself. Simultaneously, the government gives the citizen the right to align with other beliefs, but to a certain degree. Thus, to follow these values beyond the set parameter would be like running a violation against the government. As such, loyalty is the value demanded of all people; meaning that all individuals must understand that the country’s interest supersedes that of any person or any community of civilians. Creon laments explicitly the reason for this importance when he says, “Every one of you would do well to note that our security relies on our state. Thus, it is when she sails true to the route that we can build alliances” (Puchner 732). In Antigone’s eyes, nevertheless, the feature of patriotism is not only limited but lacks dimensions. Furthermore, aspect of nationalism does not provide the platform required to respond to social values and human expectations. It spells out the tension between the demands of the government and the traditional influences of its people. Commonly, friction is overcome by the repression of the will of the citizens. Antigone’s case is an excellent example of how an individual can take care of the ‘turmoil’ and undertake a cultural effort at the state’s expense (Puchner 735). Regret
Natural disasters might cause significant disruptions in the operation of facilities, might lead to injuries of a vast amount of people, and result in devastating destruction. One hazard that had severe results is tornadoes that happened in Alabama in April 2011. Sixty-two confirmed tornadoes led to 247 people deaths, hundreds of people injured, and thousands left homeless (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Tornadoes happened due to a severe weather outbreak caused by an “upper-level trough” that moved into the southern states (Morgan, 2019). Reviewing the disaster, it can be stated that all people and services had an inaccurate estimation of the magnitude of tornadoes and did not expect it to happen several times during several days (Morgan, 2019). However, emergency services were well-prepared and established a safety system right. The Alabama Department of Public Health used Public Health Emergency Preparedness system mitigated the situation by opening shelters, helping hospitals, creating mobile pharmacies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Due to the department’s fast response, the recovery was efficient, and rescuers were able to focus on the coordination of mass fatality issues. Another natural disaster, a winter storm, happened in November 2014, affecting Central and Eastern United States (Pignataro, 2017). The storm led to 26 people’s deaths, disrupted roofs of houses, outbreaks in energy systems, and shutdown of public facilities. The winter storm was caused by the lake’s cold wave and an extratropical disturbance that created heavy snowfalls (Pignataro, 2017). Analyzing the disaster, it can be noted that the authorities did not respond as fast as they could and were not initially prepared enough, which was a wrong strategy. What went right is a mitigation of the storm and response from emergency crews and the National Guard after the announcement of the State of Emergency (Linshi, 2014). Afterward, the recovery took months to deal with snow and renovate power systems and stations and help people overcome cold injuries. Such native disasters discussed should be investigated to prepare for possible problems in the future.
HIV/AIDS in aged populace There have been increased cases in HIV/AIDS in the aged people who have already attained sixty years and above. This has been promoted by the wrong perception of the belief that as people age, the danger of acquiring HIV/AIDS also reduces. This is not the case putting into considerations of the rising number of AIDS patients among the elderly, where they have been neglected by those offering sex educations. This has further resulted to low knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS in relation to sex among the elderly thus calling for the need of sex education. The biased perception has led to the elderly adopting sex behaviours which are not safe. Most elderly men frequently engage with young ladies for sex intercourse, thus increasing chances of contracting HIV/AIDS. Substance abuse by the elderly has been on increase which increases their sexual habits. Most elderly women on post menopause are more vulnerable on contracting HIV due to their thinner vaginal walls and the reduced lubrications. Out of the increased inexpensive commercial sex, there have been increased infections of the virus to the elderly where most of them keep multiple partners. There is a less likelihood of the older people discussing on their sexual habits with their doctors. Sex education is therefore necessary to the elderly which will help in reduction of HIV/AIDS (Bjorklund & Bee, 2008). Interaction of sex, gender, and age
Topic Proposal As a nurse, one must be exposed to different patients with different diseases, and there needs to be a better understanding from the hospital administration and other people of the risks/consequences associated with the exposure and potential disease spread among healthcare profession. This paper shall examine “The spread of diseases within healthcare providers.” Health care Centers should come up with ways to avoid the spread of communicable disease within the healthcare populations and methods of controlling infections. Some steps that health care workers can take in order to prevent the spread of infections include correct hand washing; enveloping sneezes and coughs; employing gloves, masks and defensive clothing; getting frequent immunizations; availing tissues and hand cleaners; and following hospital procedures when handling blood or infected objects (Medline Plus, 2011). Others claim that infections should not be controlled among health care providers, since by them acquiring these infections they develop natural immunity. This research attempts to answer the question: What is the most successful approach to solve health care providers’ risks of exposure? This paper shall first explain the different types of communicable diseases that health care providers are usually exposed to, before exploring possible solutions for these infections. Thereafter, the two shall be merged to build a persuasive research paper. This research will use academic journals, websites and books. These resources are easily accessible from academic libraries as well as the internet. It may be quite hard to trace the precise resources, but this can be tackled by exploring the content in different resources. The paper will make use of trusted sources and cite them properly so that readers can believe the credibility of the research. Problem Definition Workers in current health care surroundings are exposed, daily, to numerous infections. As a result, of augmented possibility of contracting contagious infections, disease control inside the hospital surroundings has developed to extraordinary heights. Communicable Diseases So as, to categorize communicable infections that pose a noteworthy threat to health care providers, it is crucial to identify the methods of spread of various forms of infectious agents. The two key forms of transmissible infections are air-borne and blood-borne and (Ayers, 1998). While blood-borne pathogens are many, it is a commonly accepted medical view that hepatitis virus A, B, and C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pretense the greatest threat to health care providers (Ayers, 1998). According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the key airborne infection cau
Summary of Bonnie Thornton Dill’s Work In the work “Fictive Kin, Paper Sons, and Compadrazgo,” Bonnie Thornton Dill discusses the position of women of color in American society during the 19 th century and the early part of the 20 th century with references to their social responsibilities and role in a family. The author focuses on the life of African American women, Chinese women, and representatives of the Chicano culture to compare the life aspects with the situation characteristic for the white women in the United States during the discussed period. The author’s work is divided into three parts. Focusing on the life of the African American women, Dill pays attention to the concept of slavery as important to determine the role of the reproductive labor, patriarchal approach to family, and gender division of work for affecting the life of the women of color. Thus, Dill states that egalitarianism typical for the African American families had negative effects on women who were discussed as equal to African American men, and they had to perform as equal workers and also to concentrate on the household responsibilities. The African American women were not discussed as performers of the female roles in a family. They were sources of the labor force that is why the growth of slaves’ families was significant for the slave owners. Chinese women in the United States suffered from the effects of cultural stereotypes. Girls in families could not rely on a good attitude because they were discussed as temporary family members. Many Chinese women became prostitutes in the United States, thus, the Chinese family could not develop in the country appropriately. More attention was paid to the role of the Mexican women in families as representatives of the Chicano culture and as the important elements of the large family networks. The author’s discussion of the role of women of color in families depends on the analysis of the existing literature on the topic. Even though Dill focuses on the specific racial and ethnic groups to discuss the role of women in families, it is possible to examine the topic of the family more broadly and focus on such general sociological points as the role of race in a family, gender division of labor at home, equality and egalitarianism, family network, and kinship. From this point, race can influence the family development along with the culture, and the fact of belonging to the ethnic minority affects the distribution of the women’s role in a family as well as the social role. Questions to Discuss  1. How did the approach to egalitarianism in slave families influence the vision of gender labor division related to the role of women?  2. What is the role of women to contribute to the development of ethnic minority families?
In the article “One in ten Florida teens report engaging in ‘digital self-harm’,” Florida International University (FIU) introduces a highly ambiguous and serious issue that may be completely unknown and incomprehensible for the older generation – digital self-harm or self-cyberbullying. This phenomenon implies creating abusive and humiliating comments in social media about a person by himself and posting them on behalf of a stranger. According to the study conducted by Ryan Meldrum, a digital self-harm researcher and associate professor of criminology and criminal justice in FIU, from 10,000 students, “approximately 10 percent of Florida middle and high school students report having engaged in “digital self-harm” – they have cyberbullied themselves” (Florida International University, 2020, para. 1). Moreover, results showed that 6% of them had done it in the past month (Florida International University, 2020). At the same time, the study was focused mainly on the reasons for self-cyberbullying as it is difficult to understand why people force themselves to deal with hurtful messages perfectly knowing what emotions and feelings they cause. Thus, Meldrum stated that the majority of adolescents engaged in self-harm on social media platforms were cyberbullied or bullied before (Florida International University, 2020). Similar to physical self-harm that helps victims to distract from unbearable emotional pain, self-cyberbullying is used to cause sympathy and protection of other people. In other words, by posting humiliating comments about themselves, young people hope that other users will support and defend them giving a sense of self-worth. In general, Meldrum’s study is highly significant as it is oly the second peer-reviewed research dedicated to digital self-harm. Thus, it may be used in order to develop the most efficient responsive strategies. Relation to Society/Life As a matter of fact, digital self-harm is strongly connected with mental health problems and emotional distress. Personally, I have never post humiliating remarks to my accounts, however, I am aware of several cases when my peers did it. At the same time, it is not clear whether some of them self-bullied due to psychological issues as the majority of these people simply wanted to see the reaction of other users posting offensive comments mostly due to boredom. At the same time, the research of Ryan M
