Primate is a mammal that belongs to the Order Primates. They ascended from predecessors that lived on trees in the tropical forests. This is evident in the characters of many primates. Order Primates are traditionally divided into two groups namely anthropoids/ simians and prosimians . Prosimians are more similar to earliest primates; they include lemurs of tarsiers, lorisiforms and Madagascar. On the other hand, Simians include humans, apes and monkeys. Primates possess numerous characteristics which make them hard to classify. Scientists have found it hard to categorize early primates and mammals. Bats and tree shrews primates are close existing relatives of order primates. Generalist teeth, forward-facing eyes, complicated social organization and opposable thumbs are some of the characteristics that can be used to define order Primates. As stated above, human beings ( Homo sapiens ) and chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) belong to the group of primates known as Simians . The following is a description of some of the similarities and differences that exist between humans and chimpanzees and the most significant traits that each possesses taking into consideration the above four traits used to differentiate Primates. Humans are taxonomically known as Homo sapiens while chimpanzee is a common name for species of apes which belong to the genus Pan. Human beings have a high brain capacity that is highly developed which gives them the capability to reason, introspect, language and solve problems. Humans have an erect body with hands which enable them to manipulate objects. This is why humans are considered to have made greater tools on earth as compared to other species such as chimpanzees (Stein 120). Humans have complex social structures which are composed of competing and cooperative groups from nations to families. Human social interactions have established wide variety of social norms, rituals and values. All these composition make up human society composed of large number of individuals spread all over the continent. Chimpanzees too have a social structure; however, they are not as complex as that of humans. Chimpanzees have a large number of multi-female and male social groups referred to as communities (Stein 210). They have definite social hierarchy within the community which is usually dictated by an individual who has high influence on other chimpanzees. Just like humans, chimpanzees have a leaner hierarchy whereby an individual has the authority to dominate those from the lower ranks. The Alpha male is a dominant male in the community who controls the community and maintains order when there is dispute. This is more similar to what happens in the most human societies. Human face is perceived to be finely tuned. Both the chimpanzees and humans have forward-facing eyes. However, when comparing faces between the two species, it is
Whether you are in America or in any other part of the world and working either in local police department or doing business, the way public organization manage information has an effect in every individual. Today, there are new technologies that used to collect data, store information, analyze it and publicize the information. However, the way every organization handles information is vital since it will promote their value, competence and effectiveness. For a long period of time, most public organization has been facing difficulties when it comes to formulation of messages. This is due to pressures from political leaders and also from the public scrutiny. This is what Graber had to say, “ the process of managing communication in public organizations has been more demanding and intimidating (Graber 2003).” In his book, The Power of Communication: Managing Information in Public Organizations Doris A. Graber has helped students see the way in which communication networks should be handled. Graber elaborates ways in which effective channels of communication can be constructed to enable transmission of information to the correct audience and also to relate citizen’s feedback and policy decisions. This paper mainly describes communications theory that can be applied to public administration. In the world today, knowledge has indeed become power making it crucial for every person working in public organizations to possess excellent knowledge regarding organizational information. Communication in public administration is a major problem. Governments have performed several functions that are controversial and that normally affect the lives of the citizens. Sophisticated methods are being used by many citizens to challenge the actions of the government. The government therefore is required to possess excellent skills in information and communication management in order to be able to deal with the complex tasks. Information both from the government and the public needs to be well assessed, framed and selected before it is communicated. This will enable communication process to be effective since the flow of information will be properly guided before it reaches the targeted group. Lack of responsible and effective communication and information management usually flood the flow of information making it to become a threat instead of being an added advantage to good government. The quality and nature of public administration communication system generally determine the performance of units
Introduction Instagram is a website that enables people to share information on the internet. Facebook started the website in 2010 to make users have a unique platform on which to share their photos (Instagram, n.d). Therefore, users are presented with an excellent site on which to share their videos and photos, as well as interact with their family and friends. The networking approach of Instagram has made people create networks that are important for both social interacting and marketing purposes. Its services offered are supported on the following computing applications: Apple App Store and Phone Store. Although the services of the site were initially available on limited devices such as the iPhones and iPads, they are now accessed via Android camera phones. The increase in the number of devices that could support the application has led to an increase in the number of users (Instagram, n.d). For example, a few weeks after the social networking website was started, it attracted about one million consumers. A year later, the clientele base grew by 5million users. Surprisingly, in 2012, Instagram had more than 30 million users (Instagram, n.d). This essay aims at developing an effective customer relationship management (CRM) plan about Instagram. It is expected that the plan would lead to better relationships between the site and users (Chen & Popovich, 2003; Newell, 2001). It would be important to execute an excellent CRM plan due to the ever-growing clientele base of Instagram. SWOT analysis SWOT analysis is an approach that is used by businesses to identify crucial factors that could impact their performance outcomes. To identify the areas to focus on when developing a CRM plan, it would be important to understand various issues about the website. A SWOT analysis will help in comprehending the internal and external factors that could impact the social networking provider. The provider would have control over the internal factors, i.e., strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, it cannot control the external factors that could influence it either negatively or positively. About internal factors, strengths of business lead to better outcomes while weaknesses result in undesired outcomes. Opportunities for a business in the external environment present chances of growth to a firm while threats increase the probability of a company to record poor financial results. SWOT analysis of Instagram shows that it has the following components: Strengths   * A sizeable social networking site   * A free communication platform   * A global presence   * A popular brand   * Many users (more than 50 million users)   * A series of applications   * Stable technologies   * Adequate number of workers Weaknesses   * Slow in responding to users   * Bugs that interfere with applications   * User
Introduction Demonstration is one of the frequent ways of exhibiting discontent on a pressing issue and dealing with controversial issues since time immemorial. Demonstrations give individuals contradictory perspectives on the objectives of the demonstration. Many are the times when the core purpose of the demonstration is not conveyed and the aftermath brings tribulations to the parties involved (He 98). For instance, when there are political conspiracies, demonstrators are manipulated to rebel against the government or a political party. We are currently faced with students’ demonstrations in our towns marching across the streets in the name of democracy. As any other group of citizens, students may want to express their dissatisfaction on various issues. Some demonstrations that are held are not carried out in a civilized manner. These kinds of demonstrations may jeopardize the country’s economic, social and political stability (Beja 34). However, to tactically terminate students’ demonstrations, the paper advocates for the use of military forces. In addition, I would urge the indecisive party officials to consider this approach as the ideal way to end students’ demonstrations for the following reasons. Ulterior motives by some demonstrators A student demonstration can have additional parties in the demonstrations. The members of the public who are not necessarily students can join in the movement in the name of struggle for democracy. In our case, the students are demonstrating against the political party which is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In the recent student demonstration at the Tiananmen Square, it has been noted that a group of tiny handful people has emerged and is taking advantage of the situation at hand. They are fabricating some rumors to attack the Party and the government at large (Lizhi 15). People’s minds have been contaminated with all sorts of lies and this has led to a state of confusion amongst the citizens. Manipulation of the demonstrators Small portion of the demonstrators has been noticeably seen manipulating the students through financial assistance to demonstrators as a way of expressing their support. The once democratic demonstration by the students was turned into a political based demonstration with no civilization. As we are all aware, the ruling party has put a lot of efforts to harmonize the country and as a result, the economy has a recommendable rise. The government and the Party have tolerated some of the slogans being used by the students long enough as a way of consideration of the profound anguish of the students. However, with such attitude, a lot is at stake and it is time for the party to handle the inciters (Lizhi 22). The military force should be sent to stamp out the demonstration. They are trained and can tactfully deal with the students. We should be able to distinguish right from wrong at this
Introduction Three main advantages factors helped Starbucks to achieve success. First, the global coffee selling industry was large, and the product was freely available in every part of the world; with the low cost of production, the commodity was also affordable, which made using it as the primary product an important cost-saving factor. Moreover, the coffee consumer market has always been characterized by its width and stability, as many people around the world love coffee. Lastly, some of the countries were famous for having their own coffee-drinking culture, which gave Starbucks a possibility to expand all over the globe, using joint venture schemes and licensing to move into new markets. Nevertheless, most of the time, Starbucks failed to outrun the local market leader. With the only exception of Thailand, where Starbucks had achieved full control of the market and soon bought out the main competitor, expansion to foreign markets made the company face challenges it could not quite overcome, constricting it to stay one step behind the local market leader every time. Market Analysis For instance, in Asia-Pacific countries, including China and Japan, Starbucks believed it would be unable to achieve the success it had hoped for due to the countries’ cultural factors. Both China and Japan, as well as some other Asian Countries had well-established tea cultures, and people did not drink coffee nearly as much as they drank tea. Moreover, the company’s market research showed that the smoking ban in Japan would affect the sales of coffee. However, both concerns turned out to be misleading. The smoking ban turned out to be advantageous for Starbucks, and in both countries, there were promising outlooks for future development. Conclusion Another challenge for Starbucks occurred when it had entered the European market. In Europe, the coffee marked had already been well-established, with certain market leaders, many of which were Italian coffee companies. Entering the European coffee market as a new challenger proved to be difficult; however, the company took a risk and became relatively well-established in some of the European countries. Entering the Latin American coffee market was nonetheless difficult, particularly because the country has always been among the leading growers of coffee, and thus there were a lot of established local competitors. Despite being unable to achieve stable competitive positions in both regions, the company’s persistence and effective marketing could help to win over the customers and make a larger market share over time (Moffett and Kannan 3).
The movie The Graduate directed by Mike Nichols is a story of a young man called Benjamin Braddock who returns the house of his parents after graduation from the university. The main character has no definite plans regarding his career or personal life. He starts an affair with Mrs. Robinson who is wife of his father’s partner. Yet, later this character falls in love with her daughter, Elaine. Overall, this film is about the individual who strives to discover his identity. This opening credit sequence of this film is supposed to show the sense of insecurity and uncertainty that this person experiences, and this goal is achieved with the help of different formal elements such as mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound, and editing. This argument should be discussed in more detail. The first part of this sequence starts with a close eye-level shot of the protagonist. A few seconds later the camera moves backward and the viewers can see that the main character is on the airplane. This shot includes diegetic or identifiable sounds. For instance, one can mention the voice of the flight attendant. This element is necessary because in this way the authors can tell the viewers about the destination at which the main character arrives. Additionally, the close-up shot is important because the film-makers want to show the main character stares blankly into space. He looks like a person who is deeply obsessed with some question or dilemma that he cannot resolve. This is one of the details that should not be overlooked. During the second shot of the sequence, the viewers can see Benjamin Braddock moving on an up escalator. It should be mentioned that the camera operator takes a medium-distance dolly shot. The use of this technique helps the audience see the facial expression of the main character, and one can see that he feels very strained. This is main impression that he can produce on the onlooker. Yet, the most important element of this shot is the sound track. In particular, one can speak about the song called The Sound of Silence. To a great extent, it greatly helps the film-makers to render the feeling of insecurity that the protagonist tries to overcome. The music and the lyrics are vital understand the behavior of Benjamin Braddock and his interactions with other
The Service Triangle Framework is a dynamic model outlining relationships between three interlinked groups: Company, Customer, and Employees. These three parties may engage in three corresponding types of marketing: external (Company and Customer – “making promises”), internal (between Company and Employees – “enabling promises”), and interactive (Employees and Customer – “keeping promises”). A promise stands for customer assurance about the fact that the services offered by the organization will be delivered following the set quality and time standards. The analysis of the business model of Pret a Manger using the framework reveals the following:  1. External marketing. As indicated in the case, the company actively interacts with its target customers, staying informed about their needs and satisfying them when it is possible. Stating that their number one advantage is “quality, speed, and genuineness of service,” Pret a Manger lives up to this promise. First, it provided high-quality food, having no preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors, and prepared on-site. Second, the pricing is reasonable so that a wide range of customers can afford the product. Third, the brand name itself (“ready to eat”) functions as a promotion element. Finally, the product is marketed in the right place, where the customer needs it.  2. Internal marketing. Another strength of the company’s strategy is its HR policy. In order to enable promises made to customers, Pret a Porter hires more employees than needed, which allows minimizing throughput time. Moreover, the turnover rates are remarkably low as compared to other firms from the sector. The concept “by the people, of the people, and for the people” suggests that the organization has a supportive attitude to its employees in all aspects, which is proven by the fact that many of them remain loyal to it even if they did not intend to stay for long. The firm not only shares its goals with the workforce but also gives employees a final say in hiring decisions. Besides, they are provided with training opportunities, bonuses, and even entertainment. The culture is, therefore, communal.  3. Interactive marketing. The service provided by employees of Pret a Manger is famous for its unquestionable excellence, attention, and personal involvement. It is a common case when customers build personal relationships with employees—the latter offer free coffee and pastries to regular clients. What is even more important is that they display friendliness, enthusiasm, and genuine interest in each customer. As far as “twin shops” are concerned, I am against this business model in the form in which it exists at present. The major reason for this is that the policy disrupts external marketing due to the company’s failure to live up to its promise to prepare the
In her works Patriot Acts , Katherine Crier talks about the nature of American politics. She suggests that politicians must be held responsible for their behavior. Most politicians do not have the interests of the Americans at heart since they will always mislead the public by circulating propaganda. Crier urges American politicians to tell the public the truth as regards to the status of the economy. For instance, politicians should provide adequate information to the populace regarding the past, present and the future. In other words, the government must provide critical information concerning the future of the American economy. She goes on to suggest that politicians must keep off from party politics and focus on issue-based politics. She warns that investments should not only be in form of money. Politicians must be wise and rational if America is to achieve its dream. The views of criers are valid because they explain the deteriorating nature of the American economy. She notes that the American economy does not match those of other countries because the government has been sleeping on the job. For instance, corporations are not safe financially in the American economy because the views of Adam Smith are no longer applied (Crier 47). Adam Smith observed that the market operates according to its own internal logics. For instance, consumers and producers have a cordial relationship. Producers will rarely manufacture goods that the public is reluctant to consume. In other words, producers will always analyze the market before manufacturing goods. Consumers in the American market are not safe because of government regulations. Adam Smith suggested that the state should never interfere with the market. However, the American government is involved in the market actively, something that goes against the views of Adam Smith and Crier. Regarding the role of government in regulating the activities of companies, Crier observes that the American government has failed. This is because fake products are in circulation in the US. In fact, harmful products are easily distributed to consumers without government’s intervention. Due to government’s laxity, the youths and the poor in society are languishing in public. The government has failed to create job positions to youths graduating from colleges. On the side
The movie Glory Road , released in 2006 and directed by James Gartner, features the story of racial discrimination. This film is set in the 1960s when the issue of discrimination based on race became one of the biggest social problems. Then, the underdogs, the Blacks, were secluded in many social events. In this case, the Blacks did not get an opportunity to participate in the basketball games even though they had the talent. Don Haskins, the newly appointed coach of the unsuccessful basketball team at Texas Western College in El Paso, found that the team did not have enough talent. He made the bold move of filling his TWC basketball team with seven African Americans. Many people despised the move, but Haskins maintained his stance and went ahead by letting African Americans to play only in the final match of the tournament against legendary Kentucky Wildcats and won. In general, the theme of the movie is social conflict bringing forth three major concepts. They are socialization, racism, and social mobility. Socialization is a sense-making process that enables people to adapt, create relationships and establish their position in the society. In essence, it is through socialization people can acquire and develop knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that enable them to be successful when participating in various activities as members of the organization. In the movie, the aspects of socialization are eminent when the coach introduces the African Americans into the team. The TWC basketball team bases its performance on cooperation. The dissension between the black and white players intensifies as the games come to an. Consequently, the lack of collaboration became real in the field and undermined their performance, yet they were highly capable of winning. Afterward, Haskins worked on developing cooperation, and the team was able to win most of NCAA tournament matches and finally reach the finals. As mentioned earlier, the concept of racism is also present. Racism is the reason for most of the problems which the team was experiencing. Racism is a social issue in which some groups of people are segregated based on their skin color. The belief that people belonging to a particular race possess specific characteristics that are unique to that race advances racism. Racism sets the threshold against which others may view an individual as being inferior and another one as superior. In the Glory Road , the African American groups are the inferior ones. They are excluded from most of the social events, in this case, basketball. They are not considered by coaches when sourcing for talent. Haskins was a unique coach who went beyond the racist notion that the Blacks cannot perform as well as the white. In the end, he was able to play in the “Blacks only team” against Kentucky Wildcats’ “white only team”. Haskins won despite the numerous challenges he and his team had to endure as a result of allowing the Blacks to play. Finally, the concept of social mobility is also evident. Mo
