Information for Writing an Essay When writing an informative essay, we use information from an array of sources. Writing about a topic is a tasking activity because one has to assume that the audience is not familiar with the topic. Usually, anyone will provide information better if they understood and conceptualized a certain topic. This is achieved through making connection of information from various authors on specific topics. Psychologists have classified knowledge acquisition into knowledge-telling and knowledge-transformation. Knowledge telling is known as cramming where information is transferred from a textbook to paper. Knowledge-transformation is where information is explained clearly and in multiple ways. Edward De Bono. Method of Combining Several Ideas Edward De Bono is one of the authors who used this method very effectively, combining ideas from several authors. Here, the idea of using many authors has been likened to lateral thinking or what we call “thinking out of the box”. On the same page she states, “Lateral thinking takes into considerations all the possible associations, even those that seem rather unlikely. Lateral thinking acts like a bush.” This is a very important aspect when doing critical and creative writing. Back in the 1980s, psychologists did research and came up with the idea that achieving constructive results must involve oriented strategy of thinking and application of information from various authors is mandatory. For instance; when doing an experiment, all possible procedures are considered before the best and simplest one is stated as preferred. Apparently, different parts of the brain are stimulated in the
Project Description As the entertainment industry in Dubai is expanding due to robust economic growth, the demand for recreational centers such as parks, resorts, and other related establishments has been on the rise. The increase in demand for such services in the Dubai market necessitates the need for the Dubai Parks and Resorts Project. The proposed project will consist of products such as Motiongate, Legoland, Legoland Water Park, Bollywood Parks, Riverland, and Lupita. The project aims at addressing the needs of customers in the family segment, who are interested in family-friendly park services since the proposed Dubai Parks and Resorts Project will offer customized services to a myriad of customers. Despite the existence of more than twenty establishments in Dubai currently offering similar services that the proposed project intends to present, very few parks offer customized and family-friendly services despite the existence of more than three million potential clients. Therefore, the actualization of the proposed Dubai Parks and Resorts Project will bridge the existing gap by integrating the aspect of service customization and targeting the family segment. The findings of research in the Dubai parks and resorts industry reveal that only seven parks currently offer customized services against a surging demand that they cannot meet. It was also established that the existing parks and resorts charge uncompetitive prices for their services, which very few locals can afford. Therefore, the proposed Dubai Parks and Resort Project will be modeled around the affordability of the services as a strategy for ensuring sustainable competitive advantage and prompt market penetration. Project Governance Since the proposed project is capital intensive, the governance will be accomplished by a team of three experts supported by a team of 30 implementers. The project director will head the project planning implementation phases assisted by a project manager, who will be the primary supervisor of project implementation strategies put in place. The last expert, the technical project manager, will be mandated with the role of providing technical skills in the implementation of the project since the role will be taken by an expert in the field construction. Therefore, the hierarchal ladder in terms of project leadership will begin with the project director and end with the project technical manager (Bloom 29). The technical manager will manage the implementation team. The summary of project governance is presented in figure 1 below. Structure of Financing the Project Start-up costs The proposed Dubai Parks and Resorts Project is quite capital intensive. Some of the start-up costs will be incurred in putting up the centre, purchase of land (approximately 25 acres), and other activities. The capital will be raised through three ways. The first approach is through the seed investors. This group of investors is made up of the company management team and the seed investors. This is a form of investment in which the investors purchase a part of the business. Their investment is quite risky and is based on the success of the b
Schizophrenia is a lifelong brain disorder. The ones involved have auditory or visual hallucinations and delusions (NIMH). The patient shows “ markedly diminished interest or pleasure in most activities, significant weight loss or weight gain, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of energy and feelings of worthlessness”( Affective Disorders, Pg. 32). The feeling that somebody is reading their mind keeps troubling them (NIMH). Genetic makeup and chemistry are believed to be the causative factors. Medicines can keep the disease under control and allow the person to have a satisfactory life. Staying on the medicines prevents relapses. The role of family members and other social support is essential and form part of the management of this illness (NIMH). Psychotherapy in schizophrenia is more expansive, more intense, and more subtle than any other mental illness. An array of issues ranging from personal to social have to be dealt with. The illness can cause severe damage to physical and mental fitness, intra-personal and interpersonal relationships in social and family integrations (Psychological treatment of Schizophrenia, Recovery Inc.). The bizarre behavior of the patient leads to his withdrawal from society (Psychological treatment of Schizophrenia, Recovery Inc.). His family follows suit. The illness causes the others in the family to have stress. There is undue demand on them. They first have to accept and understand the illness. From the word go, the family members are under duress. They would be at the receiving end of the patient’s odd behavior and emotional outbursts (Psychological treatment of Schizophrenia, Recovery Inc.). Lots of restraint on their part and an adjusted response to the patient’s outbursts would be part of their life. Trying to be as supportive as possible and speaking in a calm straightforward manner helps to reduce stress by relieving the ill person’s responsibilities. Spending some quality time with him, indulging in common interests like music or painting, or watching television together, could help the patient communicate with you (Schizophrenia, Help for partners and families). Never would there be a chance to lead a normal life. Other normal family wants may have to take second place on the agenda. The family members would be worrying constantly about the future and the unending financial constraints on their pockets (Psychological treatment of Schizophrenia, Recovery Inc.). Obviously, their psychological status too may become questionable if not careful. The various relationships in a family would be strained. Relationships with a child, parent, sibling, or husband would be tense. The counselor plays an important role in managing family rel

Introduction The poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” are written by William Blake while the poem “lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey” is written by William Wordsworth. “The Lamb” appeared in Blake’s songs of innocence while “Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey” is the last poem of Lyrical Ballads by Wordsworth. “The Tyger” another poem by Blake’s appears in his songs of experience. The two poems written by Blake complement each other but most importantly, all the three poems share a similar quality and theme. (Anthony, 412) This essay will attempt to interpret and explain the meaning of the three poems and the similar qualities linking all the poems will also be discussed. The intent is that, at the end of this essay, the reader will clearly understand all the three poems and the similar quality which they share. The Lamb William Blake’s poem “The Lamb” could be described as a philosophical and religious poem. The theme of the poem is love and to fully comprehend the poem, a reader needs to read its companion piece “The Tyger” also written by Blake. “The Lamb” focuses on Man’s innocence when he was created. From lines 1-8 of the poem, the writer seems to be reminding Humans of how we came to existence. Blake also tries to point out our resemblance to our creator. (Anthony, 315) The writer seems to be asking in the poem, Man who made you? Do you know who made you, gave you life, and fed you? These questions refer to us humans and the use of “Lamb” is the religious symbolism in the poem. In the new testament of the Christian Bible precisely in Isaiah 53:7, JESUS is called the Lamb of the world, and his gentleness, meekness, and mildness are emphasized in the poem. (Anthony, 327) Line 14 of the poem “The Lamb” reads, “For he calls Himself Lamb” while Line 18 reads, “we are called by his name”. This means if JESUS is called the Lamb in the Bible and Man is referred to in the poem as little Lamb; it, therefore, means Man is supposed to portray the qualities of a Lamb which are meekness and mildness. Love in other words is the central theme of Blake’s poem “The Lamb” (Anthony, 512) The Tyger “The Tyger” is another poem by William Blake and it appeared in his songs of experience. This poem as aforementioned above complements the poem “The Lamb”. Unlike the Lamb which talks entirely about love and good, “The Tyger” on the other hand, talks about love, pain, good and evil. The writer begins this poem by describing the dangerous qualities of a Tyger. Blake talks about the fierceness and aggression of a Tyger and the use of Tyger in the poem symbolizes evil while the allusion to the Lamb in the poem signifies kindness. (Anthony, 222) However, the key to understanding this poem is in line 20 of the poem. It is in Line
Introduction Social policy refers to interventions and directives for creating, changing, or maintaining living standards that are acceptable to the welfare of human beings. Policy zero around the social aspects of a community (Heller 78). The policy deals with issues of health, inequality, poverty, welfare, and human services. The main aim of the United States social health care policy is to improve the welfare of Americans in terms of enhancing social security, housing, and education and health care services. In America, the health care sector is a large and ever growing sector as opposed to all other sectors. The country’s health care expenditure amounts to $2.6 trillion which is 17% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Furthermore, the federal government is responsible for nearly 50% of each dollar incurred on health services due to the increased number of health services such as Medicaid, public and state health, and Medicare which are provided by the federal government. Social Policy The United States health policy limits health care funding to Medicaid, SCHIP (state children insurance program), and Medicare. In addition to the above services, the government oversees Veteran administration which caters to the health of veterans, veterans’ families as well as the survivors and MSH (military health systems). In the financial year 2007, a budget cost of 39.4 billion US dollars was allocated to MHS (Smith 1298). The budget catered for 9.1 people who included duty personnel and retirees alongside their families. Nearly 25% of America’s uninsured people who qualify for these services are still not enrolled, yet covering all people qualifying for enrolment remains both politically and fiscally challenging. This leaves the burden of access to health care delivery to American citizens compelling them to pay private health insurers for the same expenses which are very expensive. Hitherto, 59% of American residents access health care covers via employers, though the figure keeps decreasing day in day out, and also insurance covers and contributions expected from the works have a great variance (Heller 79). Individuals whose employment does not cater to fro medical cover including self-employed citizens must therefore purchase private medical covers. A case in point is in 2007 where out of forty-five million uninsured residents, twenty-seven million took part in part-time work, and over one-third of them resided in households earning more than $50 000 per annum. Given all these issues, it is therefore paramount that health policy should be intertwined with other social policies in the United States. Drawing attention to the extent to which the country has lagged in health care delivery systems as well as the promise tagged to the social health policy, it has been estimated that nearly $5.2 billion is spent daily does not produce any investment returns (Smith 1296). For instance, America’s life expectancy is below Chile, Nordic and European states as well as Costa Rica. Within America, the drift in stark health has continued to increase in ethnic/racial perspectives and also in socio-economic perspective. In t
“The Pilgrimage” by Nelofer Pazira uses multiple rhetoric devices, including epithets and similes, which seem to perform similar functions in the description of the two opposing themes of the essay: the peaceful life in Afghanistan and the war between it and the Soviet Union. Epithets are most often adjectives (although they can be adjective phrases as well) which characterize a noun by naming its key feature (Harris 118). Numerous examples are present throughout the text; for instance, the river is characterized as “gentle,” the skin of the cooked fish is “greasy and wrinkled from burns,” and their “bones, skulls and skins” are “broken, crooked and burned.” It is likely that the use of the epithets was motivated by the wish to paint a more graphic picture of the described events; as a result, they are supposed to convey the author’s message more vividly. Indeed, by focusing on the characteristic that is the defining one for every phenomenon from the author’s perspective, the essay offers its reader an opportunity to view the described events the way Nelofer Pazira did. To the same effect, the author uses similes, which can be defined as the comparison of different phenomena which are united by a similar feature (Harris 85). For instance, the yellow flowers are described as being “scattered around like tiny stars.” Similarly, the red flowers encountered by Nelofer Pazira are “like an impressionist masterpiece,” and the hills “look like mountains of green velvet.” All the similes seem to communicate the author’s perception of the described phenomena: for example, the hills are perceived by a child as large and impressive. The mentioned similes also describe the beauty of the serene landscape that Nelofer Pazira witnesses, but the epithets are related both to the peaceful events and the more disturbing elements of the essay. Coupled with the discussion of the upcoming conflict between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan, the description of the burned carcasses of the fish seems to be an allusion to the devastation of war, which means that the epithets and similes help the author to describe the peace and war in greater detail and communicate the contrasts between them. The present analysis is limited by the consideration of the devices that are used in the essay frequently, and the determination of the purpose of epithets and similes can only be inferred, but the assessment of their effects can be viewed as relatively accurate since it reflects the perceptions of a reader of the essay.

Introduction Sovereignty is a word that is exclusively used to mean the independence of states in the international system. On the other hand, territoriality is a word commonly used in political science and history to mean an enclosed ecological space that offers a basis for material capital, political authority, and universal loyalty (Maier 816). This implies that a state should have powers and the authority to make internal and external decisions affecting its people without external influence. Sovereignty is a product of the treaty of Westphalia that was signed in 1648, which ended the role of religion in the management of state affairs. Before the signing of the treaty in 1648, the state and religion were intertwined meaning that religious leaders were both temporal and civic leaders. They offered directions on matters affecting the state, the education system, and society in general. After the signing of the treaty, states had full powers to protect their territories using all possible means. Since the signing of the treaty, states had the powers and authority to determine their destinies without necessarily consulting or considering the positions of other actors and units in the international system. For instance, the state could declare war without necessarily seeking the approval of the public or even the support of the international system. In other words, the state could make unilateral decisions on matters affecting it. However, things have so far changed mainly because of the global developments. These global developments are political, social, and economic. Before 1945, the world system was multi-polar meaning that there were various centers of power, including Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Spain in Europe, Japan, and China in Asia, and Canada and the United States in the American content. In Europe, the balance of power was sustained by a fragile relationship whereby states engaged in conflicts that were mainly unarmed. With the global developments since 1945, such as the end of the Second World, the emergence of the Cold War, decolonization process, the rise of economic institutions, and neo-colonialism, the state sovereignty has been in jeopardy. In other words, the shift in the polarity affected the behavior of many states in the international system, which automatically affected the sovereignty and the power of the state to protect its territories. For instance, the shift from multi-polarity to bi-polarity affected the foreign policy making processes of many states. For example, the centers of power could no longer claim international recognition because the Second World War had weakened them economically. In particular, Germany was no longer a power to reckon with while Britain and France were in the process of collapsing since the war had affected them adversely (Herz 488). In this article, it is noted that the rise of international economic institutions, the Cold War, and neocolonialism affected the sovereignty and territoriality of many states in a number of ways. The
East The Medicine Wheel Could be considered an essential modern tool that provides open-minded and seeking diverse knowledge individuals with numerous opportunities to delve into the peculiarities of a certain issue and conduct its in-depth analysis (“Aboriginal pedagogy,” n.d.). Therefore, it could also be a pedagogical tool for teaching, learning, and understanding of human journeys at different levels. Moreover, it helps to consider the most important questions related to a particular sphere. For instance, applying the Medicine Wheel approach to reconciliation issues, we could benefit from enhanced results because of the methods ability to suggest a particular structure needed for the investigation. The Medicine Wheel pedagogy ascends to indigenous practices that tried to encompass all essential aspects of a certain phenomenon and elaborate the most appropriate approach. Therefore, the Medicine Wheel pedagogy is closely related to reconciliation. It could be defined as attempts to restore mutual respect between people who have different cultures and mentalities (“Reconciliation,” n.d.). It includes all aspects of these individuals relations: political, cultural, economic, etc. The term could also be used to describe a complex and long term process aimed at the improvement of indigenous peoples position through a specific set of measures. In this regard, the Medicine Wheel pedagogy becomes a critical aspect of reconciliation as it helps to perform a comprehensive investigation of relations between Aboriginal people and other individuals who want to establish trustful relations and engage in beneficial cooperation. In modern society, reconciliation becomes a very important issue
