Introduction In every career, there are distinct factors that guide the decision-making on the career that best fits an individual. However, most of the intellectuals have difficulties in determining their career due to poor introduction at the primary level of career development. Lecturers, parents, and guardians play an important role in career development positively or negatively. Some parents forcefully choose the best career for their children, but this is not advisable (Freitag, 1986). Main body In my case, curiosity played a huge role in my personal career development since childhood. I was wondering how a wire could produce energy that can produce light to the house and act as the aerial for the small radio receiver at home. My father wondered about such kinds of questions. However, my father never talked much about engineering, but instead, he continued supplying the play materials, which are related to the engineering of which I had a lot of interest in it. After elementary education, I opted to study sciences due to my earlier interest. On other hand, the lecturers too kept encouraging me, following the exemplary performance which continued to the end. At the University level, the long-awaited career dream of becoming an engineer had come to a reality. However, after the completion of the course, I informed my parents that I would be graduating with a first-class honors degree in electrical engineering. When I look back at my life and see how far I have come, I cannot help but remember the words of my father when he told me studying electrical engineering will change my life. This career has allowed me to interact with people outside of my race, culture, and religion and now all the stereotypes that I had before are gone. Some say that life is a rollercoaster ride, but what I have come to know is that life is about opportunities and grabbing them with both hands because you just cannot tell which opportunity will change your life permanently. I have tremendous respect for my father who saw my career as an opportunity while I did not seem to see it that way. Hitherto, my father remembered how he supported my ambition to become an engineer at a tender age. Surprisingly, I managed to be the best in our class without wishful thoughts on career choice. The field of electrical engineering has greatly changed in the last 100 years with the invention and introduction of electrical machines and equipment that uses integrated circuits, programmable and logic control circuits as well are remote control and assistance (Wildes & Lindgren, 1985). A century ago, electrical machines and equipment were very heavy and bulky while the performance was 20 times slower than the present speed (Hambley, 2010). However, only a few people were able to understand the idea behind the profession. Switching on an electric machine would take an hour just for the transistors to generate heat to warm the system to be switched on
Introduction The Confucian philosophy dates back to the early 6 th century and has been in existence for over 2,500 years (Ruiping 19). For that period, it has played a great role in influencing the development of human rights laws in many societies. The teachings and ideas of Confucianism are diverse and borrow greatly from other schools of thought. The core teaching is the emphasis on the importance and value of humans. In terms of priority, humans are first, the spirits are second and lastly, the rulers of the world. This has served in the preservation of human rights in different societies of the world. Precisely, its ideas on freedom of speech and expression, fair treatment and equality before the law and its humanistic aspects have laid a basis for the propagation and protection of human rights in the world today (Ruiping 21). Discussion Today’s society has become highly diversified in terms of economic power, politics and culture. Owing to a constantly changing modern society, deliberations and evaluations relating to human rights are directed towards fostering the improvement and protection of human rights with the sole aim of ensuring fair treatment and equality of all. The Confucian philosophy is a major component of different world cultures whose influence runs deep. In the early years, Confucianism formed a basis of the culture of the Chinese society for many years before the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The Chinese philosopher, Confucius, developed Confucianism 2,500 years ago and formed a diversified and highly developed school of thought. It comprises of several fields that include human aspects, political matters, education, ethical issues and law (Ruiping 26). Even though the revelation of human rights concept is indirect in its teachings, Confucianism contains several ides directly linked to the development of human rights. The exploration of these ideas leads to a greater understanding of how they influence modern human rights in the world today. The humanistic aspect of Confucianism Confucianism is founded on humanistic philosophy, expressed through the great attention and priority it accords human beings over other things (Ruiping 41). It promotes the act of doing good and charitable deeds to others that is evident from sayings attributed to Confucius. As such, it advocates for treatment of human beings with great respect and putting into account that humans are the most important above all else. These humanistic ideas focus on the suffering of the ordinary people through the violation of their human rights. Confucian human rights foster the protection of their rights by encouraging fair and equal treatment. Concept of human dignity and free conscience Human rights
Professional skills of the human service workers are aligned with the global social changes, which transform and coordinate human relations. Therefore, the duties of such specialists include promoting positive alterations (Abramovitz, 1998). In this paper, the role of human services in addressing ex-felon disenfranchisement problem is overviewed. The expert opinions on the policies of voting, which are not granted to ex-felon prisoners, differ. However, one can differentiate two major directions in disenfranchisement treatment. The first line of social change may be supported by the recommendation of the President of the Center for Equal Opportunity, Roger Clegg. According to him, the major task for international human services is to promote the opinion, according to which people, who have once committed a felony, are supposed to be equaled to people with mental disabilities, due to their mistreatment of state rights (Hamilton & Lines, 2009). The similar attitude, however, may have adverse effects on the development of global society, as well as discriminated minority groups, in particular. For instance, the majority of felonies, in the USA, are committed by Afro-Americans. Mainly, every person out of 13 colored citizens is a prisoner ( Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, 2000). Therefore, communicating the idea of ex-felons’ disabilities might be misperceived by the representatives of minority groups. Indeed, the history of disenfranchisement lists the cases, in which the policy was perceived as race discrimination measure rather than a judicial solution ( American Counseling Association, 2005). In contrast to such decision, a non-biased alternative may be offered. Specifically, it could be recommended to implement probation termination of voting rights and align it with the program of felony prevention for minorities, which might be realized through educational and social involvement. The second professional recommendation to human service workers was suggested by the Professor of Sociology in the University of Washington, Alexes Harris. Due to the expert, ex-felons should not be deprived of voting rights since they have to b
Identifying the Problem A code of ethics is very important in the professional lives of people in different professions. However, a code of ethics cannot replace human minds that have the ability to question, judge, experience emotions, and even act depending on different situations. Ethical codes cannot replace the struggles that people in helping professions like counseling go through with simple quick solutions. The ethical struggles are sometimes unique situations, puzzling questions and demanding personal responsibilities that call for practical solutions not clearly stated in the codes of ethics. Sometimes conflicts arise between unclear codes of ethics and the need for practical solutions thereby presenting dilemmas. The case of Wilma, a counselor in a community agency, and Donna who is a client suffering from an anxiety disorder and panic attack is a real dilemma. Wilma discusses information that is considered private by Donna in a public place. The right to privacy implies that the decision of information such as opinions, emotions and personal data that someone is willing to share with other people is at an individual’s discretion. There is also a problem of breach of confidentiality on Wilma’s side. The code of professional ethics requires Wilma to keep the information she has on Donna a secret (American Counseling Association, 2005). The code of ethics applies even if the information seems harmless. There is a moral obligation by Wilma to ensure that Donna adheres to her treatment plan and gets better from her current situation hence the dilemma as stated in article 7.B.1 (South Carolina Department of Labor Licensing and Regulation, 2006). The simple fact that Wilma makes an inquiry on Donna’s progress in the presence of another person is a breach of privacy. Wilma’s frustration with Donna’s laxity with the homework she is given during the therapy session causes her to ask Donna about the homework. The context in which the confrontation occurs is wrong as both are in a public place. Furthermore, Wilma is not alone since she is in the company of a friend. Perhaps Donna’s visits to the community agency counseling center are a secret and the information divulged to anyone else may lead to further complications especially now that she is being helped overcome her condition of panic and anxiety. There is a possibility that Wilma is the reason Donna is not able to complete all her homework. They may be having problems such as a personality clash or a situation where Wilma is not competent enough to handle Donna’s case. A case of fidelity presents itself in this situation. The situation is a combination of an ethical and a clinical issue. An ethical issue arises due to the breach of the right to
The movie Black Robe is a perfect example of early American history that represents the first interaction between the French Jesuit ministers and the Huron Indians of Quebec. It is a seventeenth-century movie that shows the cultural and social differences in two communities referred to as the Algonquin Indians on one side and the French Jesuits on the other hand. It represents the conflict between two clashing cultures. The movie was captured in the Canadian wilderness with the main character who is a priest by the name of Father Laforgue taking up the work of spreading the gospel among the Indians in a village called Huron, where he wanted to convert them to Christianity. At the begging of the movie, Father Laforgue seems unflattering and unmoved in his quest to spread the word of God and help the native Indians. He is prepared to tackle any challenge that may come along his way in his mission of spreading the gospel and helping the natives. Father Laforgue has a strong belief in God, and he believes that God is superior to all “savages.” As the movie progresses, the main theme of cultural differences between the French Jesuits and the Algonquin becomes apparent. The Jesuits led by Father Larforgue have different systems of culture which lead them into loggerheads with each other. A different culture is brought into perspective when Father Laforgue and another Algonquin are taken hostage by an Indian tribe. “The movie The “Bl
Introduction Al Deyafa is an innovative service that will link the mysterious world of Arabic culture and travelers from all over the world. The venture involves the provision of such services as cultural tours across major sites of the United Arab Emirates, Ramsa courses, the arrangement of traditional meals in local households. It will also involve marketing of traditional handicrafts and so on. The competitive advantage of the startup is its novelty and the use of innovation. The internet has become an indispensable part of people’ lives and many travelers make use of their gadgets when visiting other countries. Al Deyafa is a perfect platform for these people. It is necessary to note that the target audience of Al Deyafa is the traveler between 15 and 55 years old who is a savvy user of technology (smartphones and tablets). Situation Analysis The Emirati hospitality market is increasing at a considerable pace. It is expected to grow by 65% by next year while online travel penetration grew up to 22% in 2014 (Akerman, 2015). The hospitality sphere in the USE will continue being an attractive touristic destination for travelers from all parts of the world due to its political and social stability, unique culture, heavy investment into the sector (Chaudhary, 2013). At present, airlines and hotel online bookings exceed 50%. More so, the vast majority of people use their smartphones and tablets when planning their trips (Akerman, 2015). At the same time, it is clear that the technology is mainly utilized by these types of players in the market ( UAE hospitality is on the move, 2015). Travelers’ online helpers (like Al Deyafa ) are hardly available in the Emirati hospitality market. This provides a variety of opportunities to develop the business. Marketing mix and STP strategy Product The product is a platform travelers may use to make their visit to the UAE as pleasant and culturally saturated as possible. The platform will occupy the niche where only a few competitors operate. It is possible to note that there are no competitors at the time when this report is under development. However, there are quite high chances that such competitors will appear in the near future or are already about to enter the market. Price As for the pricing strategy, it is possible to utilize price skimming approach. This method is appropriate for such new services as Al Deyafa. There are no competitors to compare with. However, to establish a particular price, perceived value approach can be used. This strategy involves such aspects as the cost and benefits (Ferrell & Hartline, 2013). This strategy ensures the establishment of the most appropriate price. The company’s costs will be covered, the revenue will be developed, and the customer will be ready to pay a reasonable price. Place Since this is an online platform, the services will be provided through the Internet. The use of smartphones will also be regarded as it is possible to develop specific smartphone applications. Promotion The promotion will be implemented with the help of online resources. It is vital to make use of social networks. The service can be promoted through Twitter, Fac

Technological advancement has now made it possible for Qatar to participate in the international markets. NYSE, Qtel, and Qatar Exchange technologies have connected the country to the Global Trading Network. Technology enables financial participants in Europe and the US to connect through a secure network platform in Qatar markets (Mashni 2011). Qatar now joins high performance financial network of the global community through technology. The major communities of the world leading financial institutions consisting of brokers, investors, and investment banks now have access across Asia, Europe, and the US. Connectivity enables the traders to faster and easily reaches trading zones to provide and offers other services. Advanced technology provides a robust world-class secure and reliable connectivity to ensure that Qatar exposes it international presences and provide more benefits to investors. The networking gives the country a strategic advantage in the region and further develops the cross-region financial trading across the three continents (Mashni 2011). Competition: Summary of the article, “ Mideast carriers forge ahead with aggressive expansion plans, but challenges loom ” Times have changed. Marketing competition is fierce. Consumers are savvier. Communications are faster, and once-successful companies are in crisis mode. Marketing should focus on how to adapt, compete, and finally succeed in an overcrowded marketplace. Marketers need to beat the competition to stay afloat. Businesses need to challenge their rivals by differentiating their products and increase vale to enable them stand out in a crowded market. Marketing strategies should change with time in regard to competition. They invest and adopt the latest technologies, multimedia
Basic One-way ANOVA Study One-way between-group analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA) applies in cases in which there are independent variables or groups with three or more groups or levels and one dependent continuous variable (Pallant, 2005). One-way implies that the question only has one independent variable while the measure between groups implies that there are various subjects or cases in every group. One-way ANOVA must meet the following assumptions to make it acceptable(Jackson, 2012):   * Independent samples.   * Normal distribution of responses.   * Equal variances of subjects.   * Independent responses. An appropriate research question that would require the use of a one-way   * Is there a difference in consumption scores for young, middle-aged, and adult subjects who consume alcohol? Why this question is appropriate for the selected statistical test This question is appropriate for one-way ANOVA analysis because it captures the vital conditions required for this type of statistical analysis.   * It has one categorical independent variable, which has three different groups. They are continuous variables that capture three equal groups. The focus is on the age group of the research subject. For instance, we can have three categories of the subjects’ age group: between 18 and 24 as younger, between 25 and 30 years as middle-aged subjects, and between 31 years and above as adult subjects.   * The question also has one continuous dependent variable (the rate of consumption scores). From this question, the researcher would show whether there are significant differences in the mean scores of the dependent variable in all the three age groups of alcohol consumers. The variables in this study and each of their attributes   * Continuous categorical independent variable (age group of the research subjects) Age group is measured on a nominal scale.   * Continuous categorical dependent variable (the rate of consumption scores) This would also take a nominal scale of measurement. Do the variables fit the qualifications for the selected statistical test? Categorical independent variable Categorical variable assumes one of a restricted and normally fixed number of a given value. The age groups of respondents are limited and fixed within a group of alcohol drinkers. Continuous dependent variable We have created infinite numbers with various values between two points of a scale to measure alcohol consumption among young, middle-aged, and adult participants. Categorical variables are also known as nominal variables. They have two or more categories without intrinsic order. We simply assigned age categories of respondents in various groups. The researcher will be able to manipulate the categorical independent variable to observe changes that will take place. For instance, manipulation of subjects’ age would have effects on the rate of alcohol consumption among subjects. If no change takes place, then there would be no response
Strength In 2010, the Swatch Group has managed to introduce $ 10 billion of sales through presentation of 19 brands meeting the demands of the established market segments (Deshpander et al. 3). In addition, the company’s success was due to the revival of famous brand Omega confronting Rolex. Finally, introducing advanced Co-Axial technologies has allowed the company to sustain a competitive advantage successfully. Weakness Despite the success of the company and focus on multi-brand development, the company experienced a serious financial recession in 2009. Apparently, the decline was due to the establishment of high-cost monopolized boutiques that were less competitive as compared to those offering multiple brands. Time-sensitivity was another issue that the Swatch Group had to face. Opportunity In order to follow the company mission to introduce value as a priority for product promotion, it was highly important to cooperate with the leading manufacturers of the watch parts, such as Nivarox (Deshpander et al. 5). In addition, the CEO of the Swatch Group, Nick Hayek, has introduced a new communication strategy focusing on developing brands and inviting such celebrities as Daniel Craig and George Clooney as sponsors. Threat A narrow-focused appro
GE current Mission Objective When examining the present-day website of GE it is immediately apparent that the company doesn’t have a mission statement per see but rather has a set of principles which it indicates on the website as the cornerstone of their company culture and as such these are: to imagine, to solve, to build and ultimately to lead. These aspects, as indicated by the site, are action-oriented and express (in GE’s opinion) what it means to be part of the company. The verb to “imagine”, for GE, is to come up with new ways of doing business in that they take what they have at the present and find new ways of expansion, implementation, and improvement based on its inherent potential. When it comes to the word “solve” GE makes an eloquent statement indicating that the reason it’s around in the first place is to solve the problems of its customers, the surrounding community, and society itself. In describing the word “build”, GE explains that it is always on a constant quest for growth and development and that the only way to do so is to build. Finally, when it comes to the word “lead” the company describes this as the culmination of the previous 3 words which results in a call to action which gives the company a certain degree of responsibility in terms of the implications of its actions. It is rather interesting to note though that despite having such lofty mission objectives the actions of the company at the present seem at odds with its mission objectives in terms of the negative impact some of the actions of the company have had or rath
