The world created by Orwell consists of three political powers competing: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. Because of the permanent clashes, society is deprived of good products, subject to surveillance. Poverty is widespread, a general decline of strength among people deprived of individuality and incapable of personal freedom. As a result, Orwell’s utopian world consists of a monotonous mass of people who have found their protection in uniformity. There is no objective truth in the collective consciousness, and the ruling party promotes slogans denigrating freedom. Society (very small, only 300 million in Oceania) is disenfranchised, and a rigid social hierarchy restricts it. Among the psychological aspects of the world are bans on love and relationships (thoughtcrime), pressure on children, training in speculation, and manipulation. The higher party imposes doublethink- the ability to believe in two mutually exclusive things, with the consequence being that the world lacks personal opinion, honesty, and faith in people. Winston Smith is the protagonist, a middle-aged man who works in the documentation department and compiles facts with dissenting utterances. Despite work in the Ministry of Truth, he deeply hates party ideas, only pretending to adhere to them. Winston appears to be a strong personality, a man of will who has found his individuality and begins to doubt the party. After arrest, he endures torture with fortitude and lets Party eventually break him down and turn him into an obedient member of society. After realizing the situation he dreams of trial and execution, lest he becomes part of what he has fought. At the center of his motivation is his belief in a better world, in individual and social freedom. He swears to O’Brien that he is willing to sacrifice everything to overthrow the party. The reader can see in him that no matter how intense the ideologically wrong idea is, there will always be people who can oppose it. Julia is an actively anti-dissenting, anti-love young girl who hides her genuine party hatred. She pretends to obey the laws, but in reality, is in permanent violation of them. Julia is a beauty who turns fussy and active around her. She can be typologies as an extrovert with a pronounced attitude and a belief in the power of personality. However, her passion for acquiring authentic goods hints at the frivolity and
In spite of the fact the moral concepts are the basic principles according to which people regulate their lives and interpersonal relationships, these principles are often broken, and any person can experience problems in his or her interacting with the society. Sometimes, people become opposite to the societies with their developed hierarchy and stereotypes because of their differences. The problem of the social inequality is one of the most controversial questions in the world, and it is closely associated with the issue of racism and prejudice. The theme of the human’s opposition to the society is discussed in To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee. It was the most provocative novel of the 1960s which influenced the social discussions and revealed the problematic aspects of the democratic American society. To analyze the basic ideas of the novel, it is necessary to examine it with the help of formalism as an approach to concentrate not only on the topic but also on the author’s methods to present it. In the novel, Harper Lee demonstrates her vision of the question of the social inequality with references to the problem of racism in the society based on prejudice and absence of actual principles of tolerance and justice, and this vision is given through the eyes of children with their morality and innocence as an important point to emphasize the issue’s controversy. It is possible to state that Harper Lee uses the character of Scout as the story’s narrator not only to accentuate the lack of morality in the society but also to emphasize the links between her own experience and the problem discussed in the novel. Harper Lee was born in the family of an attorney in 1926. Being a child, Lee observed the injustice of the social relations in the 1930s which were based on the racial discrimination and the lack of tolerance. Thus, these peculiarities of Lee’s perception of the situation and definite biographical details were depicted through Scout’s eyes in To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper Lee did not write any other novel, but her first experience in writing with accentuating the most problematic social issues was so successful and remarkable that the novel became the winner of the
Introduction The origin of the rhetoric theories is rooted back to the times of Ancient Rome and Greece. Though Aristotle is recognized as one of the first philosophers who raised the question of rhetorical art and coined the notions of ethos, pathos and logos as the main components of effective persuasion patterns, some researchers point at the links between Aristotelian lectures and Homer’s Iliad . This essay suggests that despite the importance of applying all three components of ethos, pathos and logos for a successful attempt of rhetorical persuasion, the dialogues from Iliad by Homer demonstrate that the situational constraints can prevent the speaker from persuading the listener and need to be taken into consideration for choosing the most effective strategies. It would be quite interesting to discuss the influence of Homer’s Iliad on further development of rhetoric theories, trying to identify the main sources of persuasion in the work, comparing the rhetoric patterns implemented by the characters to Aristotle’s conceptions. In this paper, we focus on the Book Nine of Homer’s Iliad which is devoted to the attempts of king Agamemnon’s “ambassadors” to persuade Achilles to fight against the Trojans. “Language in use creates and changes the opinions that are our only available knowledge” (Bizzel 38). The purpose of this paper is to analyze persuasion in The Iliad , analyze whether the notions of logos, pathos and ethos are applicable to the dialogues from Book Nine and if they are, why Phoenix, Ajax and Odysseus fail to persuade Achilles. Aristotle emphasized the three most important components of persuasion, namely ethos, pathos and logos. The Greek philosopher used the term ethos for defining the credibility of the orator’s words which depends on the character and trustworthiness of the speaker and the impression which he/she produces upon the listener. It is important that the person who delivers the messages should be accepted as a specialist in the field whose opini
Since tests are communicated with the engineering R&D department, Sifers-Grayson needs Operations Security (OPSEC) for the test range. Information is transferred through a variety of radio wave communication devices. Cyber-attacks into the system and changing test data are to be blamed for the test site (Konstantinou & Maniatakos, 2020). Wireless signals from and to test cars, as well as mobile phone communications from the R&D department, is acquired by the launch site. The trial zone has an internet service between control and command, cell phones, and video symbology systems. Control devices, the web, transmitters, spacecraft, and mobile phone communications are all included in this testing area. The test scope is vulnerable to risks such as malware attacks and computer hijacking, which can result in data modification and the data loss sent over the dataset obtained (Stephens, 2020). For safety reasons, Sifers-Grayson must keep a watchful eye on its activities within the zone. At the range testing, Sifers-Grayson requires OPSEC to safeguard the corporation and its experiment vehicles from attacks. The goal of OPSEC is to improve operational capability by securing critical but sensitive information (Heino & Kalalahti, 2021). The OPSEC process consists of five steps, where the first one is identifying mission-critical facts and the second one is evaluating the hazard associated with the process. In addition, evaluating flaws and indications and estimating the risk to the company are the third and fourth steps in OPSEC strategies. Finally, devising and implementing remedies are the last steps in the OPSEC procedures. A hacker can gain access to the firm’s test vehicle’s RF communication channels and records. Cybercriminals can take advantage of flaws in an industry’s security protocols, gadgets, and software. Unauthorized users who gain access to information that is unclassified may endanger Sifers-Grayson. The sample vehicle’s area network connection makes it easier for cyber threats to gain access to it. Physical impediments to Wi-Fi devices make it difficult to safeguard its convenience. A malicious attacker can get around the corporate security system, resulting in information being accessed or disclosed by unauthorized users. Sifers-Grayson should implement appropriate security controls to prevent hackers from getting access to the organization’s data (Udipi, 2021). Up-to-date hardware for the computers, constant internet traffic inspection, complicated identities, and multi-authentication needs for login would be among the safety precautions. Since the test limit is open protection, it is encouraged to evaluate data to assess inside the testing area from an open-source software. The usage of a high-speed internet connection to improve
“Agreement is the meeting of minds or a mutual understanding between two or more persons about their reciprocal rights and duties regarding past or future performances” (USLegal, n.d., para. 1). It seems reasonable to state that the subject of an agreement is the core of the latter. Hence, in order to ensure this mutual understanding to the greatest extent, it is to be concise and clear. The subject of the contract for the provision of cleaning services is not the result, which after its achievement is transferred to the customer, but the process (action), which is immediately consumed. Green Clean (GC) is to formulate this subject as detailed as possible so that in the case of any issues, the appeal to a court would be reasonable and evidence based. Moreover, it defines the amount and kind of work that GC will provide. If the subject is expressed appropriately, parties are likely to cooperate with benefits for each other. The parties do not always pay due attention to the term of a contract for the provision of services. The contractor does not evaluate whether there is enough time for the provision of these services. As a result, this contractor may miss the deadline for the transfer of the result of the work (service) under the contract, and the customer will refuse to fulfill it. Proper approval of the terms of the deadline is necessary for both parties. Based on this period, the parties plan their business activities, internal resources, and the conclusion of agreements with other contractors. The customer needs to receive the performance within a specific period (otherwise, he or she will incur losses or cease to need this performance). Thus, the condition that GC undertakes to fulfill the contract by a strictly defined deadline should be included in it. Confidentiality might be considered as an essential term for any commercial contract. It emphasizes the fact that contract law is founded on the established ethical principle of parties’ mutual respect (“Chapter 8,” n.d.). For GC clients, it may be essential to protect the confidential information that Green Clean could obtain by being present at their properties. The customers are likely to ensure that no accidental or intentional leaks will take place. Parties are to discuss the provisions of this term thoroughly due to the following reasons. GC is to clarify whether the disclosure of the fact that it has been cooperating with a client is appropriate or not. Green Clean may want to use this fact of cooperation as a case to enhance its reputation to lure new customers. If the client accepts such a clause, then GC’s ethical obligation within the sc
Risk and emergence management is very important in any setting be it in a hospital, prison, or school. In a hospital setting, emergence cases are many due to accidents and other incidences that require urgent medical attention. In fact, different patients go to hospital with different healthcare needs and some are more serious than others are. Because of this, it is essential that any hospital management should have an effective emergence department in place to ensure quality healthcare. For any emergence unit, it is important that the management should have a mechanism of prioritizing the needs of patients to minimize and manage risks. This paper will analyze a number of risk management strategies set by a hospital emergence unit to ensure quality service delivery. Problem statement The problem presented in this case study clearly shows that the main issue faced by the hospital is time wastage. From the case study, it is clear that patients stayed for long in the waiting room, nurses and doctors did not have an effective communication system to enhance speedy registration process, and procedures of addressing patients needs were slow and non-effective. Case Analysis In this section, the paper will look at each risk management strategy and assess its effectiveness in addressing problems faced by the emergence department (ED). After assessing the quality of service delivery, the hospital management recommended and implemented response management plan to improve quality care. The three fundamental risk and emergency management strategies employed by the ED (Emergence Department) are   * Training staff,   * utilizing technology (use of computer database registration),   * hiring more staff. Training staff One of the risk management measures that the emergence department implemented is training its staff. As such, the greeter, registration officers, nurses, and other staff members were trained in the recognition of appropriate action for time-sensitive conditions. Training of staff is effective in that it increases employees’ morale and motivation, improves work effectiveness, enhances the capacity to adapt to new technologies, and increases innovation (Strauss, 2007). Training of staff, volunteers, and contractors is a good way to minimize time wastage in the hospital emergence department. Such form of training can help employees to identify and prioritize which patients need urgent healthcare facilitating all treatment procedures. Training is also an effective risk and quality management strategy in hospital. For instance, a greeter must receive adequate training in order to detect which patients are critical and more serious. Once a greeter receives proper training, he/ she will recognize and learn how to escort any patient complaining of chest pain to a wheelchair and then immediately to the triage nurse, bypassing registration. This will effectively reduce time wastage and prioritize treatment of patients with serious healthcare needs.
Introduction Differences in any business setting may arise for a number of reasons. Some may be due to differences in culture, ethnicity, and gender while others may results as a result of differences in personality. Often times, people from different cultures will have varying opinions regarding different matters. Similarly, friction may be experienced due to ethnic and gender differences. This paper looks at the importance of understanding cultural, ethnic, and gender differences in a business setting. Failure on the part of managers and professionals to understand the effect of culture, ethnicity, and gender differences in any organization has been blamed severally for conflict and poor performance (Bell, 2011). It is thus imperative for organizations to spend ample time to deal with the challenges brought about by the differences in these three important aspects of social life in a business setting. By all means, managers and professionals must do everything within their powers to ensure that no differences arise due to culture, gender, or ethnicity. Understanding the Effect of Culture, Ethnicity, and Gender Differences Understanding of these differences comes with great benefits for organizations. In the world we live in today, organizations may be expected to spread their wings and distribute their operations globally in order to compete successfully with others in the same industry. To so do, it is necessary for managers to aim at ensuring that employees can exist and work in any environment regardless of the culture, ethnic inclination, or gender. The human resource professionals must resolve to deliberately hire staff with varying cultural, ethnic, and gender differences. There are, however, difficulties that will be encountered while pursuing such an agenda. Considering my ping pong e
Lean thinking is an organizational approach aimed at optimizing resources and outcomes in a holistic view, which includes the satisfaction of both customers and workers, and reduction of unnecessary wastes, and of negative impacts on the environment. In recent years, many companies have looked at the principles of Lean thinking to reorganize their structures to improve performance, efficiency, and flexibility (Fullerton, Kennedy, & Widener, 2014). The research on sustainable products and related manufacturing processes has highlighted the need to measure environmental performance (Caldera, Desha, & Dawes, 2017). This paper aims at setting some guidelines in understanding the concept of environmental performance within a lean organization. In modern society, social and economic concerns have increasingly become related to environmental issues, which are considered critical to attaining sustainable development for future generations. Lean productions have proved to have favorable impacts on the environment, reducing energy and water consumption, and emission of polluting substances into the atmosphere, soil, and water. However, the idea of environmental performance is relatively new, and the relationships between lean tools and their impacts on the environment need to be explored and carefully evaluated. A technique that has been proved to be suitable to assess and improve environmental performance is Value Stream Mapping (VSM) (Faulkner & Badurdeen, 2014). Developed initially to coordinate production processes through the mapping of materials and information flows among the subjects involved, VSM has been successfully implemented to unify and manage both production and environmental goals. Environmental issues in modern society have highlighted the need for implementing tools developed in lean organizations. Particularly, lean companies should include the assessment of how lean tools impact the environment. Currently, the concept of environmental performance is the subject of empirical and theoretical research, aimed at creating coherent literature with the goal of sustainable future development.
Living in big cities away from wild nature, people put barriers between themselves and the rest of the world. Humanity has an inherent tendency to form large social gatherings and run away from nature. Attributing to this fact, Condor summarised the mentioned phenomenon by stating that “wilderness embodies a dualistic vision in which the human is entirely outside the natural” (Cronon, 1995, p. 80). The presented view has been around for many years in history, causing human irresponsibility, absolutely guiltless comfort, and consequent deterioration of the ecological situation (Lang, 2018). The possible implications of the stated perspective on the world can be detachment and indifference (Lever and Powell, 2017). These concepts result in the growing number of endangered species, neglect of essential trends in climate change and natural science, and mistakes that can be fatal for humanity. The unconcern mentioned above can be explained by the following factors. First, the alienation from nature makes society divide the world into the familiar and the outlandish (Stanley et al ., 2016). Humanity has long been living with a border between itself and the rest of the Earth’s ecosystem, breeding livestock and developing agriculture. This tendency resulted in an alienation of people from nature and an understanding of the wild world as an environment without humans and their impact (Lang, 2018). For instance, people tend to perceive trees in the streets or their backyards differently from those in forests or mountains. Similarly, people care about their pets but can hunt for amusement, thus acting controversially. This tendency comes from a sense of familiarity, which destroys other living beings. Second, many people view nature as sublime rather than a concept interconnected with their actions and lives. This perception brings problems of unwise consumption, as citizens do not understand or visualize the direct consequences of their deeds (Milfont, Davies, and Wilson, 2019). As a result, detachment is especially dangerous if not eliminated from people’s minds on time. Detachment from wild nature gives people a sense of relief from the burden of responsibility for all extinct and endangered species. They do not feel guilty and blameworthy for the environmental catastrophes because of the perception that they were caused by natural factors. At the center of the nature-soc
Anderson (2004) studied female students at Cedarville University to determine the relationship between bulimia and personality type. Students who consented to participating were given Myer-Briggs type indicator and eating disorder inventory-2. This was meant to determine whether the MBTI personality characters of sensing and judging were interrelated with high bulimic tendencies on eating disorder-2 subscales. The sensing trait of the MBTI was analyzed because of the similarity between the impulsive attributes of bulimic individuals and the ability to focus on sensors immediate understanding and present moment (Briggs-Myer & McCauley, 1986). The sensor explores the need for immediate gratification hence impulsive behaviors regardless of the consequences. On the other hand, judging is associated with people who make abrupt decisions without humble considerations (Abraham et al., 2006). Bulimic individuals are unable to control their eating habit and resolve to binging and purging to solve their emotional problems. The study used a correlational design to infer the relationship between the Myer-Briggs indicator traits (sensor and judge) and bulimic behavior assessed against the bulimia subscale. 221 female students aged between 18-22 years from psychology department chose to participate in the study. The participants were identified as either bulimic or non-bulimic after the analysis of the data provided in both the MBTI and EDI-2. A chi-square test was calculated to compare the personality traits of MBTI with bulimia subscale in the eating disor
