As one can see, Abdulaziz’s decision to enlist Yazeed’s support failed to get a job. It seems that Yazeed’s lack of focus and overconfidence are the reasons why he approached the questions so carelessly. Emotional and even economic damage was caused to Abdulaziz; he lost his job prospect, and now he can sue Yazeed. Here, the legal arguments that Abdulaziz can use against Yazeed will be analyzed. Torts can be identified in the case of Abdulaziz and Yazeed, and the first one is negligence. Experts note that negligence is “a failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances” ( Negligence , n.d., para. 1). Yazeed had a duty to act because he agreed to help Abdulaziz. However, his visible carelessness led to the expected result of such behavior, which is his failure to apply for a job for Abdulaziz. Emotional harm, namely regrets and failed expectations, can be considered an injury requirement in negligence tort ( Negligence , n.d.). Although economic harm is not a full-fledged argument in negligence cases, Abdulaziz can use this as a secondary one in court. It is also noteworthy that causing emotional harm is also tort by itself, even if it was done unintentionally. Lawyers refer to this offense as “negligent infliction of emotional distress” (Goguen, n.d., para. 1). The claim would be more valid if it turns out that the emotional damage that Yazeed inflicted on his friend led to a deterioration in physical health and the development of mild eating or sleep disorders in the future plaintiff. As with the tort of negligence, the court re
Introduction Organizational behaviour is a concept that studies the behaviour of humans in the organizational context. As such, the organizational behaviour is concerned with the conduct of the individuals, groups and organization as an entity. This paper seeks to discuss how the teams affect Leadership Implicit Followership Theories. Indeed, teams and individuals have critical effects on the LIFTs because the leadership of people is defined by individualism and groupings. Further, this paper will seek to understand whether the LIFTs affect the job satisfaction and the employee’s outcomes. Factors of Organizational Behavior Influencing LIFT As stated in the thesis statement, organizational individuals and team affect the LIFTs because people behave both at personal and group levels. With regards to the definitions; Teams-In an organizational context, a team refers to a well-organized group of people who have a common objective to achieve (Sullivan, 2013). As such, departmental employees can form members of an organizational team. This is because the group has common objectives and works toward achieving it. Individuals-These refer to the unit members of the organization. They hold various responsibilities in the organization and their commitment is supervised individually. Overview of an Issue involved with the Subject Indeed, LIFTs have been considered as leaders’ pre-existing perceptions and beliefs towards their subject’s personal characteristics in the organizational context. Indeed, the perceptions of leaders towards their followers’ characteristics are affected by the question of whether they work in teams of individually. As such, it becomes critical to understand how the perceptions change according to teamwork and individualism. Importantly, it is crucial to investigate whether the LIFTs affect the employees outcomes as well as the job satisfaction. Key Terminologies for the Topic Keywords: Teamwork, individuals, individua
Securities exchange regulations in the United States date back to the 1930s when the government sought to entice new investors after the stock markets crashed. The entity of securities exchange has come a long way since the 1930s. Currently, attention has shifted from safeguarding the interests of individual investors to minding the welfare of entities that have been mandated with taking care of private funds. Recently, the global economic crisis revealed how managers take unnecessary risks using their clients’ capital. In China, the system has been changing from a strictly communist trading environment to a capitalist-friendly regime. There are strong emerging capital markets in areas like the United Arab Emirates and South America. It is interesting to consider how the securities exchange regulations have changed over the last fifty years. This change can offer a glimpse of how these regulations will have changed in the next thirty years. On most occasions, securities regulations are modeled to protect the interests of investors while minding the dynamics of the economy. Therefore, in 2047 the securities exchange regulations are likely to align with the interests of both the economy and the investors. This paper reflects my insights and guesses about what the securities regulations might look like in 2047. The paper focuses on the trends in the United Sta
Introduction For this assignment the chosen work of art is the piece Confrontation created by Spencer Fidler in 1993. This particular piece of art combines both the artistic and modern in its creation since Fidler utilized 6 burnished zinc plates along with the cooperation of a local printing group in order to create a large scale representation of his work embedded into 3 plates each. While line etching as a form of art has been around for quite sometime the distinctive style utilized by Spencer in this instance is unique in that the personally identifiable details of the subjects involved are omitted (i.e. face, body details etc.) except for the character in the middle which appears to be the focal point of the piece itself. Description of Confrontation From the point of view of an observer the painting is an experience in contrasts with the left most side showing two characters in black with a distinctly red backdrop while the right hand side shows a single character colored in red being placed under a white backdrop. A cursory glance can immediately inform a casual observer that the painting is meant to represent a scene of violence where the character on the right hand side represents a male character gripping the distinctly female characters on the left hand side. The pose of the female character in the middle denotes a certain degree of pain and the “silent scream” effect often utilized by abstract artists when trying to represent a scene where pain is apparently denoted. In fact Fidler follows the exact same formula in denoting this particular effect as seen in other artistic works by having the head tilt backwards towards the right with the nose facing up. This particular similarity to other abstract artists may in fact be evidence of a certain degree of influence some abstract artistic works have had in the creations of Fidler. Interpreting the Painting While one obvious interpretation of the piece is to consider it a representation of violence being inflicted on a woman by a man another interpretation of this particular work can be that the female characters on the left represent lesbians while the man on the right is symbolic of society at the present which constrains, limits and inflicts psychological harm on individuals exp
Discussion Art of different periods shows the development of people’s history. Paintings, architecture, sculpture and other types of art which managed to remain till our times give people a lot of information about times when ancient people lived, how they lived and what materials they used in order to make their life comfortable. Pieces of art, which remained till our times, show us cultural level of people, their interests and as a result the level of their mental development. Main Text Colosseum in Rome is the building which remained till our times. This building shows us the level of ancient Roman culture, the meaning of the theater during those times. It is the main monument in Rome. It was built in the Romans times by Vespasian and completed by his son Titus. It building was started in AD 72 and finished in AD 80. Colosseum has such sizes: 614 ft (187 m) long, 509 ft (115 m) wide and 187 ft (57 m) high. The building could comprise 50,000 spectators, according to modern investigations. (Garwood, 2006) The building was built during the ruling of two different persons, so the architectural decisions differ in some ways. It seems that Vespasian completed three first rangers and his follower, Titus, added two more rangers. Colosseum was built out of travertine blocks. One block was 5 feet high and 10 feet long (1.5 by 3 meters). These blocks were fixed together with metal cramps, thanks to which these blocks gave elliptical shape of the walls. (Langmead & Garnaut, 2001) Colosseum’s façade is “a visually compelling assembly of three tiers of 80 round-arched openings, each flanked by engages columns, surmounted by a taller but barer storey articulated with Corinthian pilasters” (Watkin, 2005, p. 63). The building is half ruined but reconstruction helped to save it on the same level, moreover people may see its real appearance. It is plain building with lots of rows, arcs and tunnels. The half ruined building still allows people to assess its great structure and magnificent look. Colosseum was built according to architectural traditions of its period, so the work is typical for its period. All buildings in the named period were constructed so magnificent and huge. It is an amphitheater which was used for gladiator fights and fights with animals. Different sources name different number of killed animals and people. This place was also used as the place for performances. A lot of people were able to visit it. This information confirms the fact that the main entertainment for people of that time was public performance, whether on the theater stage or fighting arena. Colosseum does not perform its direct function now. People are unable to visit it with the purpose to see performances there. It is also not used to shoot films about gladiators as the building has been ruined a lot. The only purpose
A photograph is not meant just for the viewing purposes of a photojournalist. Just like in the old adage “every photo is worth a thousand words,” every human being is drawn to the various stories that the photo attempts to tell, bringing the brilliant images of relatives, friends and people we work with in an abstract and lively way for our amusement and remembrance as well as that of others. Photographs tell the stories that are inherent in the minds of the artist, evoking latent emotions in the viewer that are either an attempt, by the artist, to capture their character, feelings, places or even events (Warren 23). Now more than ever, the power of telling and recreating a story has been harnessed through the use of photographs, taking more than the skills and power of critique of a photographer but the imagination of the viewer. In an abstract way, photos taken of nonfigurative and conceptual images are sometimes far removed from the original meaning that the artist intended them to be, their interpretation being subject to the discretion and judgment of the viewer (Wells 74). Michelle Chiquita’s photograph shows the documentation of a pencil throughout a period of two weeks. In the picture, you can see the transition of a pencil, with regards to its size and background, as it goes through the different phases of ‘life.’ The picture shows a series of scenes depicting a yellow pencil on a foolscap background, each with different mathematical calculations and formulas. Looking at each of the pieces, the size and scale of the pencil keeps getting smaller with regards to the foolscap background, while more and more calculations keep being added to the background. White framing all through the picture makes the slides more visible to the viewer, bringing them into focus and making it possible for the viewer to concentrate on them. The vertical, restive position of the pencil in each of the slides is indicative of a resort to have finished a particular task, presumably that of writing on the foolscap, with the pencil resting in an awkward horizontal position after having finished its ‘work.’ On first sighting, the attention of the viewer is immediately turned to the pencil, constantly trying to figure out the different phases that it goes through and the true essence of the photograph. The picture can be interpreted in relation to my life, with regards to the yellow pencil and the different phases that it seems to be undergoing. In the very first slide, a, presumably new, pencil is shown laying on a blank piece of foolscap. In relation to life, the unsharpened piece of pencil shows a new entrance into life; a new born baby that has not been ‘sharpened’ by the experiences of life. The foolscap has nothing written on it as it is with real-life; every child has to chart their own livelihoods and histories. As the pencil get sharpened throughout its life, so does the life of a human being as he or she goes through life, facing life’s problems and being taught by them. As the person gets older, their minds are clouded by
Introduction Over the years, there has been an increased use of Local Area Networks (LANs) to facilitate the transfer of information and to improve communication in learning institutions and organizations ( Fetterolf & Anandalingam, 1992). In large companies and universities, electronic devices are connected using different network devices such as bridges, switches and routers. These devices are able to capture the location of different equipment on a network and forward packets from device to device (Fetterolf & Anandalingam, 1992). To take advantage of this advancement in technology so as to improve its operations, Hanson University has approached Transcend Solutions and wants a LAN infrastructure designed for them. The main purpose of this report is to provide a description of the proposed LAN infrastructure design for Hanson University. Various recommendations are made concerning different issues such as what network devices to source for, the network operating system to use, the location of devices on the network, security requirements, and Internet connectivity among others. For security purposes, a client – server model would be the most appropriate for this LAN. Besides offering better security than a peer – to – peer network, a client – server network will allow for centralized administration. It will make it possible to share the available resources among the users and since some of these devices such as the printer are usually quite expense, the university will be able to save substantially on implementation costs. Again, when it comes to accessing Internet services, all staffs and students will use only one connection shared across the university. A peer – to – peer network is quite cheap and easy to implement but has several limitations. In the first place, the can comfortable support only up to ten users. Maintaining security in this kind of a network is also a bi challenge. As users are left to manage their own security, it very difficult to control how they do it. It very easy for a user to leave his or her machine as well as documents unprotected. Requirements for the LAN A wired LAN will be implemented to offer the services required by the university. According to Cisco Systems (2001), a wired LAN offers better rates of data transfer than wireless technology regardless of the distance being looked at. Key requirements for the LAN are; Hardware Requirements Server Computers The LAN will require at least three servers. One of these servers will be used for Internet connectivity while the other two will be used for staff and students. Given the number of users and the amount of work that will need to be done by the servers, each should have the following specifications as a minimum; processors with a speed of at least 2 GHz and 2 GB of physical memory. AAs the servers will be handling so much, 160 GB of hard disk space or greater is necessary.
Introduction Persian movies have helped reflect the situation in Iran. The political climate has played a central role in the movies. During the old days, freedom was curtailed in Iraq with several movies banned or censored. This is not strange in the Islamic countries where cultural fundamentalism is entrenched in the society. Moreover, western ideologies are subject to criticism. Through religious bodies, movies were opposed as they revealed the nature of the political, social, and economic situation in Iran. Successive regimes have been suppressing human rights in the name of national security and the Sharia law. The influence of the regimes and the religious bodies exists today as famous movies have failed to depict the real situation in the country. Directors, opposing the standards set by the regimes, have been jailed, or their movies censored. This paper will explain how Persian movies reflect the issues in the society. Discussion The Persian culture has been depicted in many movies. Most of these movies have enjoyed success despite the censorship that exists in the country. Films that succeed in the western countries and globally, lack a true reflection of the real political, social, and economic situation in Iran. In white balloon, the people of Iran are shown to face trouble like individuals in other countries. Moreover, these people have families and troubles similar to other countries. From the movie, the culture of Persia has philosophic and poetic sophistication. White balloon possesses a concrete, up-close, and complex view of the hardships faced by the Iranian minorities. Recent movies also reveal the impact of American occupation of Iraq. The Kurds freeing Iraq enter Iran voice vehement feelings concerning Saddam Hussein, the infamous dictator. Generally, most of the Iranian movies depict a struggling society. Iran struggles to reconcile political choices with cultural traditions, thorny realities, and vaunted ideals. The movies are vital with this regard as they give a nuanced and rich view of challenges prevalent in Iran (Alizadeh, 2005). How the Society Was Treated In Old Days Prior to 1950’s, entertainment in the Persian society was limited to musicals and melodramas. Although the society enjoyed a commercial industry with a film festival because of releasing a high number of movies annually, the movies were devoid of social critique. Movies with negative connotations were banned or censored. In the 1960’s change permeated in the Persian society and the entertainment industry. The cow is among the movies that brought modernist literature to the fore. The traveler depicted the cultural consciousness of Persians. Nonetheless, the political landscape of this country changed with anti-Shah protesters supporting Ayatollah Khomeini, opposing themes in the movies. Traditionalists accused movi
Introduction Government policies are central to the realisation of government goals and initiatives. Before political can assume power, they are required to convince the electorate fully. This is based on agendas that address different needs of the electorate. In 2009, Democratic Party of Japan assumed power after defeating the long-serving LDP party. One of their agendas was to reform the mechanisms used in formulation of government policies. Their main aim was to reduce bureaucratic influence and control over the process of formulation of government policies. The following paper explores the process of formulation of government policies in Japan. It provides insight into the role of different stakeholders in the process including the Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers, bureaucrats and other special interest groups. Finally, it provides a comparison with Britain’s policy making process. Formulation of government policies in Japan Japan’s government is headed by a Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is appointed from either Houses of Parliament and subjected to a vote. The successful candidate is thereby presented to the Emperor for attestation (Curtis, 2000). One of the Prime Minister’s functions is the appointment and dismissal of Cabinet ministers. Therefore, the Prime Minister appoints individual whom in his view are representative of the party’s ideology. Under the constitution, the Prime Minister is allowed to appoint fourteen ministers only. However, under special circumstances, he is allowed to appoint up to seventeen ministers. Ministers oversee activities in various ministries. Government policies in Japan mainly originate from government ministries. Government ministries mainly consist of bureaucrats who have wealth of information regarding various issues affecting the ministry (Nakamura & Joffe, 2011). Also, most bureaucratic institutions within Japan have useful resources which are crucial in crafting of policies geared towards legislation. The process of formulation of government policy commences with the appointment of special advisory commissions (Curtis, 2000). These commissions comprise of experts from different fields. Commissions are used to give expert opinions and possible solutions to pertinent issues as raised by the ministry officials. Thereafter, the commission is required to submit a report containing recommendations including possible legislation that could be enacted in order to address issues as raised the ministry. The second stage encompasses liaison between various ministries in order to establish jurisdiction and possibility of legislation. Senior ministry officials are involved and explore the jurisdiction of recommendations as indicated by the commission (Nakamura & Joffe, 2011). This is used to avoid possible collision of needs between various ministries. Various institutions within the ministries are responsible for coming up with bills. Additionally, the ministry may seek assistance from other institutions with relevant resources. This institutions use such avenues to advance their interes
Client requirements Inclusion Melbourne is an organization that aims at improving the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. According to Inclusion Melbourne (2012), to achieve this noble goal, “Inclusion Melbourne provides a unique form of personalized support to assist people with intellectual disability to live fulfilling lives in the community” (Para.2). As a final year university student, I understand the requirements of Inclusion of Melbourne’s client, the intellectually disabled. Among the services provided by the organization include training and education that is accredited nationally among others. One of the key concerns of the organization is that people with intellectual disabilities encounter devastating challenges articulated to segregation in employment. This is in relation to other people in society. Therefore, the organization finds it plausible to look for solutions to this problem. Among the key options of reaching the client is the creation of a project inspired by concepts of micro-business tied within the umbrella of cooperatives. However, the organization insists, “micro-businesses must provide certainty and security to the Inclusion Melbourne service users and minimize the risk for Inclusion Melbourne” (Inclusion Melbourne 2012, Para.6). In the context of such a project requirement, I believe the incorporation of concepts of cooperative in the implementation of this project is not only necessary but also warranted because cooperatives give room for people like the intellectually disabled to participate in the running of micro-businesses through their membership in a manner that is democratic. This may help people with intellectual disabilities to learn and integrate entrepreneurship skills through participation. Given the disabilities of these people, this is perhaps the best way to make sure that such people become self-reliant through engaging in business activities. This way, Inclusion Melbourne will have r
