Introduction A picture of colonial life can hardly be positive as the idea, that one country may expand its rules and standards on the territory of another country with its own ideals and social norms without certain agreements and concessions, usually oppresses people and make them believe in personal inabilities and dependencies. The current paper touches upon the three different literary sources, the authors of which talk about the peculiarities of colonial life, its role in history, and the effects on human understanding on how the relations between different societies may be developed. These are Orwell’s “Burmese Days”, Rizal’s “The Reign of Greed”, and Binh’s “The Red Earth”. These accounts help to realize that each author demonstrates his own attitude to the process of colonization and the reactions of the people on the demands of the government: Orwell underlines the impossibility to avoid corruption and prejudice, Rizal admits the necessity to remember about the personal interests and beliefs, and Binh wants to explain that sometimes not only the colonists but also the colonized people may benefit from the process. Main body Being a witness of how the British Empire turned Burma, a considerable and prosperous Indian state, into a poor colonized part of British India, George Orwell could not help but wonder how the people of Burma could allow a new power making them the slaves of corruption, prejudice, and their own wrong understanding of the human ideals. It is normal for colonial life to force
Introduction Wild animals have many survival mechanisms, which enable them to survive the harsh environment of the jungle. The jungle environment is under control of natural conditions that are free from any human intervention, and thus, wild animals have utilized diverse survival mechanism to perpetuate themselves for many generations despite the predisposition to threatening circumstances. Like human beings, wild animals have the ability to define their own territories and own resources that are essential in their survival. Moreover, wild animals have social systems that enable them to have some form of government, which protects their territory and provides safety for their lives, as well as resources. Jungle government is consistent with human government because, both deal with protection of territory and acquisition of resources. Behavior of certain species of animals usually depicts some social and habitual pattern, which implies that they have constant behavioral pattern as human beings exist in their complex society. Thus, for wild animals to survive in their natural environment, they employ both physical and behavioral adaptations. To elucidate how survival mechanisms of wild animals relate to human beings, this essay explores the survival mechanism and warlike behaviors of lions (Panthera leo). Lion A lion is a wild animal that belongs to a group of big cats, and it ranks second in size after tiger. The Lion belong to family of felidae, genus Panthera and species leo, hence scientifically called Panthera leo. Due to historic extinction of lions across the world, wild lions currently live in the African parks and game reserves because human activities continues to threaten their existence and survival. Since lion is the largest carnivore in the jungle, people have called it a king of the jungle because it is extremely powerful and is conspicuous. Both human beings and wild animals fear its presence in a jungle as it is the most dangerous carnivores that cannot tolerate the presence of any unfriendly animals in its territory. Under wild environment, lions can live for about 10-15 years but due to frequent fights and loss of habits due to human encroachment, they rarely live longer. According to Fumagalli, mane on males, unemotional coloration and tufted tail are some of the prominent features that differentiate lion from other cats (3). Thus, what are the instinctive warlike features and survival mechanisms that lions employ in ruling their jungle, and how do they relate with human beings. Social Organization Like humans, lions organize themselves into groups for purposes of mating, hunting, protection, and rearing of young ones. Social organization and behavior differentiates lions from other wild animals because it is quite rare to see a lion hunting and living a solitary life. Their social organization shows that lions are social animals that live
When speaking of market modification, it is of crucial importance to tackle the notion of innovation. For instance, the economy of Egypt may be examined on the subject of innovation visualization. The innovation of products and collaboration with the global market is essential for the growth of countries’ economies. GII (Global Innovation Index) was designed to identify the specific country’s position worldwide in terms of implementing innovative tools for their development ambitions (Forouharfar et al.). It has much information about the current situation in the state and helps understand where to grow, what blind spots can be fixed. Egypt has several imperfections in terms of innovation, and it includes regulation problems, the policy used for the development, access to education, electricity, and the Internet. GII data visualization tool helps distinguish between various indicators for specific analysis; for instance, sources of the data may be reviewed separately from other components. Thus, one can see that the primary source of information for GII is the World Bank that provides information on the country’s economic development. On the one hand, the index shows the internal country’s issues; on the other hand, the pole reflects the global scale position, which predetermines the possible direction for growth. Academics are involved in the process and analyze the index for several fundamental reasons. Firstly, the data is useful for policymakers to examine the current situation and find other innovative ways. Secondly, the research highlights the areas that need immediate improvement. Moreover, this project pushes innovation forward to fix imperfections and blind spots. Even though there are some challenges for this research, for example, some designs are not recorded within the country, some of the data may be late; it is still crucial for improving the current situation. Thus, the GII visualization tool is an important instrument for analyzing existing data and the country’s position on the global scale in terms of implementing innovation. Policymakers can find this project useful as it shows blind spots and ways for further growth.

My personal experience in marriage, long-term work with families within the framework of my occupational duties, and the desire to help people through life’s difficulties motivate me to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have obtained a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and currently work as a property manager. However, I am considering changing my career path because I could not pursue a criminal justice-related job due to my ex-husband’s background. I believe that the profession of a marriage counselor will allow me to contribute to the improvement of life of other people and help me grow professionally. My experience in mental health and marital counseling is based on my personal marriage and divorce that I have overcome. The issues concerning family relationships are of significant importance since they constitute a backbone of the society as a whole, and the psychological well-being of each individual (Johnson et al., 2017). As a property manager, I have acquired extensive experience in resolving property-related interpersonal issues and conflicts that have significantly improved the lives of tenants. In 2019, I was divorced and have been trying to provide a better life for my children since. The ability to deal with people and provide support to them might be valuable experiential background for my future career as a marriage counselor. The population that I am currently planning to work with constitutes individuals from minority communities and multicultural families. As a property manager, I continuously deal with diverse populations and families of multicultural backgrounds, which necessitates a specific approach. In general, white privilege challenges the marriage and family therapy filed by requiring more effective interventions for underrepresented populations (Combs, 2019). Therefore, I would prioritize racial minorities as families with whom I would like to work. I believe that self-care and self-awareness are key elements of the counselors’ profession. As a mother and a divorced woman, I have managed to cultivate my self-understanding through reflection, self-analysis, and exploration of the psychological issues behind the feelings I was experiencing. Reading psychological literature, meditating, developing spiritual practices, and maintaining a consistent self-care routine helped me overcome the difficulties. I consider that the experience I have accumulated in combination with my great desire to help people in their relationships will become a strong basis for my successful career as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
Many people feel that the propositions of mainstream Egyptologists concerning the manner of construction of the pyramids of Giza are in error, or albeit deceptive (Malkowski, & Schwaller, 2007). The rationale for such arguments is the existence of the idea that it would not have been easy for the Egyptians of ancient times to have constructed the pyramids. Additionally, the idea of the mystery of the construction process revolves around the fact that the technologies of the ancient Egyptians do not equal the architectural designs of the pyramids (Malkowski & Schwaller, 2007, p. 56). Using the mentioned ideologies rather than the historical and the archeological evidence, there are a number of theories put forward to explain the construction of Egypt’s landmark, the Pyramids of Giza. Therefore, this work describes two theories that explain the mystery of the construction of the pyramids. The first theory is the work of Margie Morris and Dr. Joseph Davidovits, who propose that the pyramids were built of exceptionally high-quality concrete and limestone, which they suppose was synthetic stone. They argued that the blocks used in the process were made of more than 90% limestone rubble and nearly 10% cement (Orcutt, 2000, p. 45). Therefore, the two academicians suggested that the characteristics of such blocks were beyond those of natural limestone of the time. There was also no requirement for stone hauling or cutting for the construction process (Orcutt, 2000, p. 45). The two writes further explain that the building blocks of the pyramids were not quarried and did not require cutting or movements. How they moved up the whole height of the pyramids is explicable from the reasoning that workers lifted buckets of slurry to the places of making the limestone blocks atop the pyramids. From such a perspective, there is the conclusion that the theory explains the fact that the construction blocks did not require moving nor cutting. Another theory is the development of the ideas of Martin Isler in his book, On Pyramid Building, and Peter Hodges in his writings in the book, How the Pyramids Were Built. Their ideas provide a school of thought that ancient Egyptians constructed the Pyramids of Giza by the use of levers in lifting the building blocks to the required elevations. They based their ideas on the fact that some of the rocks found on the pyramids had bosses at their bottoms that would facilitate the use of levers but were later removed (Rigano, 2014, p. 67). They also suggest the idea that the architects of the time combined ramps with levers to ensure that the blocks reached the required heights. The theory advanced by both Margie Morris and Dr. Joseph Davidovits is more plausible than the other theory because of two reasons. It is noteworthy that the reasoning provided for the choice of theoretical bases on their strengths and weaknesses. First, there is evidence that the blocks used in the construction were uncut. From such a perspective, there is a rational though
Introduction Social media refer to electronic platforms that people use for online interaction. The latest social media sites include face book and twitter. Noteworthy is the fact that the sites have attracted many people especially youths. They enable people communicate, share information, update statuses and market their products and services to a large population with ease. Although social media is effective in communication; it is has led to the alteration of the grammatical structures of official languages in many nations. Many social media users admit to ignoring the grammatical provisions of language. They violate them and use a completely different morphology from the official language. Therefore, bad language use in social media raises questions about the future of grammatical structures of the official languages among school children. It is unfortunate that they are also attracted to social media. Notably, many of them learn wrong grammatical structures at a tender age due to social media influence and availability of electronic gadgets such as internet enabled cell phones and personal computers. Hence, they transfer the wrong lexicon to the academics. Social media reduces the educational achievement of many young students especially in languages. Impact of Social Media to Grammar Social media has caused a major lapse in the grammar of many official languages in many countries. For instance, it has altered the morphological structures of some languages; thus, transferring the same to school age children. The worst affected age group is the youth because it forms the largest number of social media users. From a linguistic point of view, the language used in social media may not be universally understood. Therefore, it is not applicable in formal functions such as government business, academic instruction, medical practice, international commerce and law among other official operations. Social media language is in many instances devoid of the grammatical structures that make up a language. Essentially, many users use corrupted language whose lexicon is strange. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the linguists to create an international phonological chart to guide the use of such a language. Slang is a popular language in social media. Users prefer it over an official language if they plan to restrict a communicative situation to people of a certain group. It is important to note that slang and its constituents do not have a structured morphology Hence, there are no grammatical rules to guide its use. It is sad that it has grown significantly when compared to other languages. Youths have particularly strengthened its growth especially in major urban centers in the world. In learning insti
Disability Essay: Introduction Disability is a mental or physical condition that restricts a person’s activities, senses or movements. Modern societies have recognized the problems faced by these individuals and passed laws that ease their interactions. Some people, therefore, believe that life for the disabled has become quite bearable. These changes are not sufficient to eliminate the hurdles associated with their conditions. The life of a person with a disability today is just as difficult as it was in the past because of the stigma in social relations as well as economic, mobility and motivational issues associated with such a condition. Disability in Modern Society A person with a disability would live a hard life today owing to the emotional issues associated with the condition. His or her identity would revolve around his or her disability rather than anything else that the person can do. It does not matter whether the individuals is handsome or talented, like Tom Cruise. At the end of the day, he will always be a disabled man. This attitude obscures one’s accomplishments and may even discourage some people from accomplishing anything. Other able-bodied individuals would always categorize such a person as a second-class citizen. It would take a lot of will power and resolve to get past these labels and merely lives one’s life. Opponents of this argument would claim that some great inventors of modern society are disabled. A case in point was Dr. Stephen Hawkings, whose mathematical inventions led to several breakthroughs in the field of cosmology (Larsen 87). While such accomplishments exist, they do not represent the majority. Persons like Hawkings have to work harder because they have their handicaps to cope with alongside their other scientific work. A disabled scientist is more diligent than a normal one because he has two forms of hurdles to tackle. It is not common to find such immense willpower in the general population. Therefore, disability leads to a tough life owing to its emotional demands on its subjects. How the Society Can Be Helpful to the Disabled People Modern life has created several technologies designed to simplify movement. For instance, modern cities have stairs, trains, cars, doors and elevators to achieve this. However, these technologies are not easy to use for disabled people. Many of them find that they cannot climb stairs, drive cars or even access trains without help from someone else. Therefore, while the rest of the world is enjoying the benefits of technology, a disabled person would still have to overcome these challenges in order to move from place to place. Some opponents of this assertion would claim that the life of a disabled person today is unproblematic because a lot of devices have been developed to facilitate movement and other interactions. For instance, a person with amputated legs can buy artificial limbs or use a wheelchair. However, some of the best assistive technologies for the disabled are quite expensive, and average
Challenge Description In the environment of the 21 st century, technological savvy seems to have become an inherent quality, as most people use online tools for a range of purposes for social to business ones. However, because of the lack of research on the identified realm, the issue of security remains the primary problem that needs addressing urgently. Although the security management area faces a range of challenges that must be managed in a manner as efficient and expeditious as possible, it is the human factor that has been the cause of concern since the very beginning of the technological breakthrough. Because most users refuse to take the security issues and the related risks seriously, thus, neglecting a variety of safety and precaution measures, the instances of a personal and corporate data breach are getting increasingly common. With the rapid development of the software devised to trick people into providing their personal data, coupled with a complete lack of concern among most users, the security management process is getting increasingly more complicated and, therefore, requires a set of drastic measures aimed at increasing the users’ competency ( Human factors in information security management systems , 2013). Therefore, the lack of responsibility concerning compliance with the existing security rules can be considered the primary issue to be addressed in the context of security management. A recent report indicates that most people using the corresponding tools that provide them with security, in general, and information security, in particular, prefer to bypass the policies that they consider i
Purpose of Audit Plan Keystone Computers & Networks, Inc. (KCN) is an information technology company that develops networking software products and sells them to its clients (Whittington & Pany, 2012). The company had hired an external audit firm to carry out its audit according to the US Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP). The external auditor is required to carry out the audit of the company’s financial statements and provide its professional opinion based on the fundamental principles of independence, responsibility, integrity, and verified disclosure of business accounts and financial transactions. Moreover, the auditor has to perform the review of the internal controls of KCN and determine the degree of risks associated with different trades and their reporting. The current report describes the audit plan that has been proposed to investigate various accounts and transactions of the company incurred during the year ended on December 31, 20X5 (Whittington & Pany, 2012). Audit Plan for KCN Considerations It is reported that the last three years’ audit of KCN was performed by Adams, Barnes & Co. Therefore, the auditor has the experience and understanding of the company’s accounting system and internal controls. Moreover, it will be easier to perform the audit of 20X5 accounts and financial statements as the firm has previous years’ documentation. The objectives of the audit are (1) to identify and describe the objectives of the audit engagement and services that will be provided to the client by the audit team and (2) to define the responsibilities of the audit team members (Whittington & Pany, 2012). The contents of the audit engagement are as follows.   * To perform an audit of the company’s financial statements, including the statement of financial position, statement of income, statement of total earnings, and statement of cash flows for the year ended on December 31, 20X5.   * To issue a letter confirming whether the covenants of the letter of credit agreement with Western Financial services are in full compliance or not.

Introduction Environmental risk management is the process of managing health risk factors in a given environment with a view of improving human health. Effective environment risk management requires the assessment of the risk factors. Environmental risk assessment is an aspect of health that entails the assessment of hazardous materials that influence human health. The assessment of health risks is important in public health because it provides perspectives, which are important in the prevention and management of diseases that emanate from exposure to hazardous materials in the environment. Given that the degree of exposure to hazardous materials varies from one environment to another, there is a need to perform environmental risk assessment and management. Exposure to hazardous materials usually causes communicable and non-communicable diseases. Projections show that due to increase in adverse materials in physical and social environments, non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disorders will be the cause of about 70% of all deaths by the year 2020 (Belal, 2009). Such projection is applicable in developed countries like the United Arab Emirates. As a case study, the United Arab Emirates faces a number of environmental issues, which pose significant health risks to the population. The common environmental issues in the United Arab Emirates include air pollution, contamination of water, food contamination, radiation exposure, and occupational exposure (Belal, 2009). Therefore, the primary objective of the essay is to examine and assess these environmental issues with a view of providing appropriate recommendations
