Leaders on The Big Picture (Mission) Leaders in the Army should take the mission seriously and understand its high priority. The Army mission implies that soldiers fight for their country and its interests. Besides, leaders should realize that there and other soldiers’ lives are at high risk. They should consider the mission as a high priority, simultaneously avoiding unintended consequences for people’s lives. What is Best for Mission Leaders should understand that there are difficult decisions they must take to accomplish the mission. They should rely on the Army Ethic, which states that it is vital to follow the mission with great respect for the people. According to the Army standards, a decision is right when it is ethical, effective, and efficient. A leader should ensure these principles to decide what is best for the Greater Good. Leaders, Their Followers, and Ethics Leaders and their followers should understand that some of them might suffer to achieve the Army mission. They should have the courage to accept that they might lose their lives, as well as their followers. It is ethically justified, as people who belong to the Army take the risk associated with the profession. However, leaders are obliged to avoid soldiers’ and Army civilians’ suffering as much as possible in a given context. They need to think about their decisions in terms of their ethics, effectiveness, and efficacy. If leaders follow the principles, their actions are right for the Army and its values.

Introduction A cell phone, in other words also referred to as a mobile phone is a gadget that is operated electronically using frequencies of radio telecommunication which operates on a two-way basis within a given network. Since their inception, cell phones have contributed highly to several factors both negatively and positively. Motorola was the first telephone company to demonstrate the first handheld mobile phone. Differences in a cell phone and a cordless phone Cell phones which are currently more reliable enable users to communicate over a two-way network. With this, users can communicate via radio frequencies throughout the world hence making communication easy. This is unlikely while using cordless telephones which have limitations on the area of coverage. Cell phones also do support many interesting features like the internet, Bluetooth. Infrared and also games (Consumer Reports, 2003). One can even take a picture of their choice and send it via the MMS service to another mobile phone. Interesting cell phone Applications can be stored inside the cell phone’s memory. Some feature cell phones also come with a memory slot card which allows the user to swap memory cards of different storage capacities. A wide range of recharging options like a USB port or a cigarette lighter characterizes the cell phone’s advanced features to those of the cordless telephone. In addition to these, cell phones also have Bluetooth hands-free features that allow the user to answer calls when driving or just for leisure, without using hands to access the keypad. The positive impact of cell phones In the modern world where everything is rapidly changing, cell phones have succeeded in improving plenty of our lives. We can now monitor our premises and homes with the help of a cell phone. Keeping in touch with friends and family has never before been this easier and more fun. Cell phone technology has also seen a significant percentage of people access news and social networking sites such as Facebook from their cell phones (Knight Digital Media Center, 2009). In the event of an emergency, one can be sure to be able to convey a message regardless of the distance. However, cell phones have also impacted negatively on the user and the community at large. The negative impact of cell phones In as much as the positive attributes of owning a cell phone surpass those of not owning one, there are disadvantages too. Cell phones have been said to be a major cause of road accidents due to overindulgence in calls and text messages whilst driving (eHow magazine). Children with access to high-end cell phones end up getting exploited especially by child predators. There are also concerns that the prolonged use of cell phones could in the long run have side effects on the user, thus causing diseases such as cancer of the skin. Security is also an issue because criminals take advantage of the cell phone’s ability to use different sim cards from different operator companies, to commit crimes like extortion.+ Conclusion The world being a
Introduction America has enjoyed more privilege than any other country. The United States is more significant than any other country. The current question is where the United States is heading and, if possible, why it is headed there. Currently, across the globe, people are keen on trying to find out whether or not the United States is on its way up or merely holding its own or on its way down. Question is being asked what has generated the current debate in the years after the Second World War by a generation of writers impressed by a new kind on international block. With its vast military machine, enormous material resources, and ideological self-confidence, the United States is like no other power on Earth. It could not get its own way. There were always the obvious problems of the USSR and China, the two most evident obstacles standing in its path. In a competitive struggle for supremacy between USSR and the USA, Americ) went on to build a new global order because of a threat by international communism. The USA managed to unite its former enemies, mobilize its own people, contain the foreign policy ambitions of others, and pump – prime the larger world economy with spending on the military. The Pax American seemed to serve the narrower the US interest, but it led to the disbursement of mass public goods that appeared to help many other nations too. Hence, for 20 years, what was good for the USA was good for the rest of the world 1 . Paul Kennedy pointed out that the American era was likely to be over, and the sooner the US adjusted to that fact, the better, he believed, the United States had no alternative but to pull in its horns 2 . The Threats to American Global Powers Firstly, even though American enjoys wide global powers, it is however faced with several threats. Weapons of Mass Destruction and Missile Proliferation This is the major nuclear power. Missile proliferation, particularly with regard to nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and missile delivery systems, constitutes a direct threat to the United States’ interests worldwide. Most states see the acquisition of these capabilities as vital to countering United States conventional war sighting superiority and to providing an unparallel measure of power, respect, and relevant determent value within a regional context. Presently a good number of states are actively engaged in the pursuit of weapons of most destruction. Since nuclear
Introduction Saints are very important figures in Christianity and for centuries, the Church has engaged in the practice of declaring individuals as saints after their death. Through canonization, the Roman Catholic Church has singled out a few of the faithful as saints due to their virtuous lives. This paper will discuss the history of the canonization process with a focus on the steps leading to canonization since the 1983 changes by Pope John Paul II. The paper will also provide an in-depth description of one of the Church’s Saints, Maximilian Kolbe. Canonization History Catholic Org reports that by the year 100AD, the early Christians had already begun honoring dead Christians as saints (1). Until the Middle Ages, this process was informal in nature and the criteria for selection varied widely from region to region. The Church authorities at Rome came to assume a central role in the process during the first half of the thirteenth century. By the 10th century, the Roman Church took complete control of the process and declared that one could only become a saint with its approval (Slater 48). The first official record of canonization occurred under Pope John XV in 993AD. In 1588AD, the steps to be taken in the official recognition of a saint were codified Under Pope Sixtus V. Pope John Paul II made some dramatic changes to this process in 1983. Steps Leading to Canonization Since 1983 The first step involves the making of a formal request for the individual to be considered for sainthood. This request usually has to wait for a minimum of five years after the death of the individual. The bishop of the diocese is the individual who receives the formal request and the reviews if there is enough evidence of the person’s dedication to God and virtuous life. If there is enough compelling evidence, a request is made by the bishop to open a cause of sainthood. Once permission has been given a tribunal is established and individuals who knew the candidate are called to offer testimonies about his life. If a person’s virtue and devotion are unquestioned in this stage, he is given the title “Servant of God” and the bishop sends a report of the person to Rome. This report is translated into Italian and a summary presented to the Congregation for the causes of Saints. The next step involves a review of the life of the individual who is a candidate for sainthood. Theologians engage in an objective historical investigation for proof and evidence of heroic holiness in the individual. If these theologians are satisfied with the evidence offered the candidate is designated “Venerable” and he can move on to the next stage. Miracles attributed to the Venerable are sought out and once identified; they are presented to the pope who then declares the individual a Saint. Saint Max
The history of the public perception of globalization is somewhat similar to the path undergone by the industry of food chemistry: once its benefits and advantages over traditional ways became apparent, it was trumpeted and praised as a glorious achievement of the human mind and determination, a sign of the boundless potential for improvement. Then, once the mounting evidence of its downside became impossible to ignore, and the public was somewhat disillusioned, the media immediately picked up the change of winds and began portraying it as a threat to the established order of things as well as the humanity’s well-being, which was not completely unfounded but still massively over-exaggerated to cater to the public mood. Finally, amidst this outcry of anxiety and unrest, some individuals continue their honest attempts to estimate the real impact of the phenomenon on our lives, both by critically reviewing the existing misinterpreted evidence and by highlighting the new aspects of this massively complex entity. The articles by Gleiser and Wasserstrom are both of the latter variety. Both authors take on the complications the globalization presents from the cultural perspective but approach it from slightly different angles. For instance, Wasserstrom describes the cultural differences in perception of the globally distributed products by providing an example of a McDonald’s restaurant being a stand-out event in China as opposed to the routine approach of the American population (21). The mentioned example, however, does not simply highlight the barrier to a successful business – instead, it has a deeper implication of globalization as a culture-forming factor. The changes may be subtle but contribute to more in-depth changes in values and tastes. Where Wasserstrom’s vision differs from the other authors writing on the matter is in the nature of the change: rather than becoming homogenized, the global society experiences a simultaneous shift that creates the new diversity instead of the old one. Wasserstrom illustrates his assumption by exemplifying the three contributions made by the image of Mao in geographically diverse locations within one year: artistic in London, empowering in Nepal, and liberal in Northeast China (23). Such suggestions undermine the established ideas of globalization as a homogenizing force. Gleiser’s article further expands these ideas but introduces evolutionary factors. According to Gleiser, the traditions and instincts developed throughout the human lifespan not only slow the globalization down but make its ultimate goal unattainable (9). This view notably aligns with that expressed in Wasserstrom’s article, but the appeal to human nature makes the resistance to globalization a much more feasible issue. It becomes even more apparent o
Introduction The way most of the hospitals and other medical facilities in the world operate today includes a personal visit of each client, data collection (often recorded by hand), an examination by a professional, and diagnosis. Connecting all the institutions through an international network is not feasible with modern technology and economic requirements. Developing a computer program for collecting and retrieving data about patients has potential. This paper describes proposals of intuitive software that could be synchronized with a person’s electronic gadgets and later retrieved by hospitals and pharmacies in needed locations in different countries. New Products Modern technology develops at a rapid speed contributing to various areas of everyday human life, including healthcare. Gadgets collect terabytes of personal data regarding cardiovascular state, physical activities, sleeping habits, and even blood composition (Malik et al., 2018). Currently, there is no convenient way to synchronize personal digital data with the medical institution system globally. Hospitals and pharmacies use separate storages, and manually inputting data on each patient and client requires much time. The author of this paper proposes creating two cloud-based applications that could be used by potential customers of medical institutions and pharmacies. The prime function of one, named MedSynch, would be providing doctors, nurses, and pharmacists with physiological data to better serve clients. The second application, MedMap, will include a list of international hospitals and pharmacies with contacts so that tourists and immigrants could find medical help even before they travel to a new place. The proposed products could be connected through a contact database but are designed to function independently of each other. Both of them are planned to be offered as potential products to a company Digital Science Ltd., a technology start-up based in Dallas, Texas. Currently, this business focuses on recording the data from high-school science laboratories and maintaining US biology institutions’ interactive map. One of their announced areas of interest is international health care supportive software. The proposals suggest entering the global market starting with France charging individuals €3 per month for MedSynch and €1 for the same period for MedMap. Determination Methods The first method to
Introduction The objective of the current report is to calculate the beta value of Apple Inc. and discuss the implications of this value. The analysis carried out in this report determines the slope between stock returns of Apple Inc. and S&P 500 (index) returns, which is determined on a daily basis. Apple Inc. is a technology-based firm based in the United States. The company is considered a mature firm, which is engaged in developing and selling technology-related products including computers, smartphones, wearables, accessories, and software. The company has a strong customer base due to its advanced technologies and high-quality products. It also has an excellent customer relationship management system, which ensures that consumers receive high-quality services after purchasing Apple’s products. The company is operating in the information technology industry, which is growing rapidly. There are many existing and new companies competing with each other through the development of new technologies. Apple is a well-established company and its business strategy is to acquire new companies and integrate their technologies into its existing systems, as well as further developing new ones. The company sells products and services to both individuals and corporate clients. Its products are considered luxury items because of their pricing. Although technology has lowered the cost of certain products, Apple has a premium-pricing strategy due to its innovativeness and the continuing demand for its new products and models. CAPM Model The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is considered to be useful and is the most commonly used method of determining the expected return on equity investment. The CAPM can be used to measure risks and interpret them to estimate the projected return on equity. The primary advantage of CAPM is that it generates an accurate value of the cost of equity. According to Sharifzadeh, CAPM is a systematic model that is used to assess the association between the risk of investing in a security and its expected return. Furthermore, it indicates that the return generated by a security depends on the risk-free return and market risk premium. In this way, financial analysts use this model to determine whether the business has the ability to generate profit when they face various risks. The cost of equity can be determined by using the following equation of the CAPM, which requires the beta value of stock, risk-free rate, and market rate of return (Sharifzadeh 60).   * Cost of Equity: Risk-Free Rate + Beta * (Total Market Rate of Return – Risk-Free Rate) The CAPM may be used to determine the total return, which shareholders require on their investment in the selected company’s stocks. Moreover, I can use the CAPM as a capital accounting threshold for determining the prerequisite rate of return. Consequently, it will help me in demonstrating the return, which is demanded by the market in exchange for maintaining their financial resources and bearing the risks associated with the firm. Th
Introduction Although plagiarism, which can be defined as the copying of somebody’s work without mentioning the author, is divided into intentional and unintentional, both representations are the violation of the accepted academic conduct rules. As long as plagiarism is considered to be a crime, taking someone’s research or other materials and presenting them as belonging to them is compared to people stealing money and pretending it is owned by them (DiMaria, 2009). Much attention is given to plagiarism at different educational institutions, both in the United States and globally, where students are expected to demonstrate ethical behavior and respect the established values of their college or university. However, plagiarizing in academic work can lead not only to the loss of a student’s reputation but other undesirable consequences such as being expelled from college or university and problems with positive letters of recommendation, which can be useful for future employment. There are two American cultural values, such as individualism and direct communication, which are considered significant for comprehension of plagiarism (DiMaria, 2009). Individualism presupposes respect for the authors whose ideas a person is going to borrow while direct communication as a cultural value implies open access to standards and codes of behavior, which is likely to minimize unintended breaking of the rules of academic conduct. Conclusion Paraphrase When a person selects an educational establishment for further studies, it is advisable to investigate its website prior to beginning the classes to be aware of academic prospects and policies. When a person comes to college or university, he or she comes across multiple resources, which can be useful for avoiding plagiarism. Since educational institutions use different citation styles, it is a good idea to turn to a writing center, in a library or the lecturer for help. Finally, in case a cultural component is involved, it is good to consult the international students’ community. Reference DiMaria, D. L. (2009). Plagiarism from a cross-cultural perspective . Web.
Discuss the future outlook and industry trends related to the new venture The new the venture is a healthy snacks business that target mostly, commuters in the transport industry and also households within the country. In Kenya through improved infrastructure transport industry has been growing steadily. This has been evident in major towns and cities such as Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Thika, Nakuru and Eldoret just to mention but a few. In addition to this, food industry has become a giant sector in this era of increased urbanization coupled with globalization. As population growth increases and demand for food also rise, food industry has played a great role in that it has made food available all the year round even when food crops have failed. It has been able to achieve this through technological innovation in food processing and preservation which has increased the shelf life of food stuffs. For this reason, people have been able to access foods from many outlets even in regions where certain types of foods are not grown. Food industry is increasingly becoming a very important sector in any economy simply because it has made food available in ready to eat form; some of the processed foods take lesser time to prepare as they are precooked during processing and have made some foods which are only found during certain seasons to be available during all the year round. In relation to transport industry which is growing steadily, it is projected that the industry of new venture will also grow. There is marked by economic growth in the country and this translates that potential consumers have relatively high purchasing power. Also, this is very important because with growing economy of the country people are able to transact as they move from one point to another. Though the country had experienced political instability three years ago, there seems to be a stable political climate with ushering in of new constitution in the country. Snacking is very common with commuters. Commuters will tend to have snacks in bus terminals as they are about to travel while others buy food snacks to eat when on transit. This is a clear indication that provided the business will offer products that are tailored to meet consumers’ needs there is market for these products and that the future outlook of the business is bright. Discuss the legal or concerns related to the venture idea A sole proprietorship kind of business in Kenya does not ha
