According to Myers, when it comes to money, the relationship between ownership and control is unique. To gain the control of a vast majority of wealth, as well as the means for wealth production, an individual does not need to own everything. Much of the property owner can be distributed among different shareholders while still giving an opportunity for a minority to hold a predominantly large share. Individuals with the predominant shares gain the directorship of the wealth production channels and as such gain control of the diversified owners. The article also indicates that there is an interconnection between the different sources of money. Thus, when individuals with predominant shares in certain sectors use their directorship powers they control other areas too. Canadian banks have a central role in the economy. In Canada, the banks are highly centralized, and they have immense power to control the operations given that they can introduce privately-issued money. Historically, when the centralization of one sector began, it was followed by a spillover of the effects in all the primary money sources. Canadian banks also play the role of controlling finances in all economic spheres that are financially dependent. The banks also set the pace of close organization in most areas and distribute financial services given the fact that they have branches all over the country. Myers asserts that the bank ownership also gives some individuals more control over Canadian wealth. According to Myers foreign investments, plays a crucial role in fostering the economic development in Canada. Myers asserts that receive enormous amounts of capital from different countries. Britain is the primary source of foreign investments in Canada. According to one editor, British investment amounted to millions of pounds. Most of the funds went into industries such as railways. Other areas of Europe also made the capital contribution in different economic areas of Canada. The United States had significant capital contributions in Canada to the tune of millions of dollars. The capital contribution of the US was mainly in factories especially factories that were affiliated with American Trusts. The entries of the significant funds also lead to a lot of amalgamations that spurred economic growths. The author demonstrates that there is an interconnectedness between political power and economic power. Politically it is shown that the biggest beneficiaries of the centralization of money are the individuals with control over the money-making processes. The political contexts in which economic operations and realignments occur play a significant role. As such the ruling class needs to familiarize themselves with the current economic forces. Individuals, as well as nations, can only have real chances of averting the concentration of money into the hands of a few men by first understanding processes that generate money. The political class has the role of ensuring the documentation of all transactions that take place. The records of the transaction are important in determining the processes of generating money.
In fact, at the present moment on the political map of the Arabian world there may be distinguished three models of the participation of the political parties in the political structure and the political life of the state. The first model is the formation of the new political regimes in the former republics of the pro-Western mode headed by the Islamic parties of the moderate type, such as Ennahdha in Tunis and the Freedom and Justice Party in Egypt. The second model may be exemplified by the political situation in Morocco, where after the victory on the parliamentary elections the representative of the Islamic party of Justice and Development has been appointed as the prime minister. It is the new model for the Arabian world when the Islamic party of the moderate type is incorporated into the structure of the monarchical regime. It is also possible to make certain conclusions concerning the third model of the increasing impact of the moderate political parties, when such kind of a party becomes the center of all the oppositional structures in the countries with the dictatorial regimes. The typical example of these models is the political situation in Syria. Nowadays on the huge territory of the Arabian world, there are the vast amount of the political parties of the moderate Islam. They conduct their activity on the huge territory upon the different social and political conditions, but all these parties have the similarities in the programs, principles and values. The main country, the transformational renewal of which effects the whole policy of the region, is considered to be the Arab Republic of Egypt. On the elections to the Peoples Assembly – the lower house of the parliament, the Islamic parties have achieved the victory. As the result of the elections, these parties achieved almost two-thirds of the parliamentary seats. The political arm of the Egyptian Muslim Bothers – the Freedom and Justice Party obtained together with their allies nearly half of voices. There are many different geopolitical, economical, sociocultural and religious factors, which effect the formation of the international policy of Egypt. The activation of the Egypts foreign policy in the 90s of the XX century were taking place in the circumstances where the economy of the country continued to be weak and the sources of its development were not numerous. The mainstay of the countrys items of incomes is connected with external environment and depends in a great manner upon the state of affairs in the international field. The main socioeconomic indicators of the Arab Republic of Egypt reveal the serious problems confronting the government of the state. Egypt has the high unemployment and poverty figures. According to the official returns, the level of the unemployment in Egypt makes up 8-10%. Approximately half of the population of the republic- nearly 35 million people live below the poverty line, and 6 million of them live in the extreme poverty. At the same time there is a pressure of the international contributes on th
Despite being an ultimate ground for philosophical debates and discussions for many centuries, the topic of the absurd remains unresolved and not ultimately structured. The main issue considered under this theme is the connection between human life and its absurdity. Thomas Nagel, in his work, investigates a concern about the inescapable absurdity of human lives and analyzes the nature of this phenomenon. He also justifies the fact that human life is full of the components of absurdity and reflects a positive attitude toward this position. Moreover, in his view, self-consciousness and self-transcendence help make life meaningful, even if it is not. Life in Nagel’s view, is absurd on a large scale, so some might argue it becomes inescapably meaningless. However, the purpose in life and understanding of it could diminish the absurdity. The primary point is that the perception that everyone creates their reality and success themselves should be preserved. This paper aims to observe the relationship between life and absurdity and prove that it influences people and could be controlled based on Nigel’s study and its critics. First of all, it is essential to differentiate between the negative and positive perceptions of absurdity in our lives. Certainly, human lives are undoubtedly absurd, considering them at the Universal scale. The negative perception is that in terms of million years in the Universe, human lives are so short and inconsiderable that they could be recognized as meaningless (Nigel 717). This claim leads to the view that
Introduction The term is used to refer to the distinct and unique personality that an individual has. Every individual has a different personality is this is what determines whom the person is and why one person is different from the other. Though the identity may be influenced by external factors like the environment where an individual lives, it is not possible for two or more persons to share an identity. A shared identity only occurs in rare occasions where individuals are adventitial twins although it does not happen to all the twins. Defining identity This is the uniqueness of individuals that differentiates one person from another. Personal identity has everything to do with the persisting unit that is particular to each individual. The structure of the personal identity always appears to conserve itself from the former description in time after being modified. Mark S., (2003). Personal identity is therefore the characteristics of an individual that result from the personality through which an individual is known or recognized. This identity has its basis on the consciousness rather than the substance of the body or the soul. How identities are formed The formation of a personal identity is based on issues to do with how the conditions that make an individual have different personalities at different tines. This involves the following; The mind and the body This is the relationship that takes place between an individual’s body and mind. The personality of an individual’s perception is formed when a stimuli results to a change in the state of the mind that leads to a sensation. This is then sent to the body which gives the response that has been sent by the mind. These perceptions form the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and desires among others all tat are part of the personal identity. Consciousness This is what determines on what personality an individual has at a given time. Hence personal identity is dependent on consciousness rather than substance. An individual is the same person depending on the extent to which the individual is conscious of the future or past actions and thoughts just the way that individual is conscious of the present actions and thoughts. Control in forming and shaping our identities The control of shaping as well as forming our identities is sometimes incurring control and at other times it is beyond our control. This is because the identity of a person is influenced by both the body and the mind. Mark S., (2003). An individual has authority and control over any stimuli response that comes from the body. However, the part of the mind that is responsible for controlling our identity is the subconscious. An individual does not have control over the subconscious mind. At this point then, it is not possible to control our personality. How identity provides a link between the personal and the social The link that an individual has with the social or with other people is d
Introduction Down syndrome (DS) refers to a genetic disorder marked by the occurrence of an extra chromosome 21. It can be found in individuals of all races, nationalities, and socio-economic levels and is considered one of the most common chromosomal conditions (Meneghetti et al ., 2021). People with Down syndrome experience developmental and cognitive delays and are characterized by a distinctive facial appearance. This disorder varies in severity and can be associated with a number of medical abnormalities and co-occurring conditions, such as heart defects, obesity, immune system problems, blood disorders, short- and long-sightedness, and others (Duffy, 2017). Furthermore, DS can affect learning abilities, which implies that a student with this syndrome would need support with education. This paper aims to discuss Down syndrome in a student and explore how the condition can affect individuals, as well as their learning abilities. Condition and Characteristics of Down Syndrome Down syndrome refers to a condition that combines physical and cognitive symptoms resulting from the presence of an extra chromosome 21. This paper summarizes my observations of a student with DS and scientific research findings with regard to this syndrome and its implications on people’s lives. Currently, the causes of DS remain unknown, and this condition is not attributed to any actions or habits of the mother-to-be before conception or during pregnancy. At the same time, the woman’s age of 35 and older is considered a risk factor that increases the chance of Down syndrome
Cultural diversity refers to inclusion of individuals of varying age, gender, race, ethnicity, relationship status, educational achievement, income, and sexual orientation, among other dimensions. The practice is important in development because engaging children in culturally responsive learning experiences help them build critical skills such as self-confidence. Such children become more aware of themselves, learn how to appreciate and respect diverse beliefs and cultures. Approximately 96% of major employers favor employees who can work effectively with colleagues and clients from diverse cultures (Wells et al., 2016). Furthermore, fostering cultural diversity can improve children’s cognitive skills. Wells et al. (2016) reported that exposure to people who are from different cultures helps promote critical and problem-solving skills due to the diversity of ideas and perspectives. Moreover, it is imperative to be competent when working with children and families of diverse/exceptional backgrounds to design outreach and communication strategies that respond to their unique needs (socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistic). Understanding the values and beliefs of these groups can also foster inclusion and sense of belonging. Cultural competence can help avoid imposing values on others. Racial prejudice occurs in schools partly because people have preexisting notions about people from different backgrounds. Promoting inclusivity in the school setting helps discourage racial discrimination by eliminating the preexisting assumptions and celebrating personal differences. Campaigns such as the Black Lives Matter may be attributed to lack of inclusion and appreciation of different cultures. Cultural diversity has evolved significantly from what was perceived to be acceptance and belonging in the year 1970. For instance, the discussion of inclusivity in the 1970s focused on primary (race, ethnicity, gender, and disability status) and secondary (.e.g., sexual orientation, educational background, first language, family status, income level, and communication style) dimensions of cultural diversity. Consequently, some of the challenges parents would face addressing an issue of “diversity, acceptance and belonging” with the school administrators that impacted your child’s schooling during this period include racial discrimination, gender bias, prejudice based on sexual orientation, ethnic inequality in access to educational resources and opportunities, and intolerance to different cultures. Today, such a conversation would depict an expanded scope which goes beyond simple demographic variables to include tertiary dimensions such as individual values, beliefs, assumptions, perceptions, attitudes, and feelings. Reference Wells, A. S., Fox, L., & Cordova-Cobo, D. (2016). How racially diverse schools and classro
The short story Reunion is a wonderful representation of the selfish love of a parent conveyed through the first-person narration (the son) and multiple symbols that John Cheever introduced skillfully. Although it is a short story the author managed to provide a clear understanding of how quickly the son got disappointed in his father and the feeling of excitement about the meeting changed to the wish never ever see the father again. The author’s writing style is a brilliant man to convey the relations between protagonists, yet giving an opportunity to think up what is missing without multiple descriptions but through heated dialogues. The story starts with Charlie telling how impatiently he is waiting for the meeting with his dad. They have not seen each other for three years. The upcoming meeting seems to be a thrilling and exciting event for Charlie, and the author gives a clear understanding of the son’s eagerness: ‘… as soon as I saw him I felt that he was my father, my flesh and blood, my future and my doom’ . (Madden, p. 254) John Cheever wonderfully describes that Charlie wants to inherit his father and the overall writing style in the first paragraph gives the precise notion of how important this meeting is for Charlie. He loves his dad and cherishes this moment for a chance to see, talk, and sit next to his ‘daddy’: ‘I hoped that someone would see us together. I wished that we could be photographed’ (Madden, p.254). However, the following events changed the boy’s impression of his dad just in a span of one-page writing. John Cheever offers several dialogues with the waiters of the three restaurants that shift Charlie’s perception of dad for the worse. Using the words ‘kellner, garcon, cameriere’ (Madden, p. 255) for the waiter and ultimately ‘sommelier’ has a completely different meaning for the story rather than presenting a father as a highly educated person. The author shows that the father wants to impress his son though the way he behaves is completely inappropriate for the place they are in. Next, John Cheever introduces the reader to Charlie’s utmost desire to escape. The father wants to buy a newspaper – the symbol of a souvenir, something that Charlie would keep as a reminder of his dad, which the boy does not want to because of his dad’s behavior near the newsstand as well: ‘…sell me one of your disgusting specimens of yellow journalism? ’ (Madden, p. 256). Outstandingly, the author turns the boy’s desire to be like his dad in the beginning of the story into the wish to never know and see the father again: ‘ I went downstairs and got my train, and that was the last time I saw my father ’ (Madden, p. 256) – this was the prompt escape of the boy who wanted to be photographed with the dad in the introducing paragraph. John Cheever presents the story very effectively for the reader to understand how the feeling of the child’s anxiety to see the father changes to awkwardness and sh
Summary The report has been formulated after investigating the importance of joining a professional human resource association. The report has highlighted the importance of being in a local or an international human resource professional association. There are various advantages associated with joining such associations which include increasing the trading partners and networking. The report will focus on the benefits of joining such a professional association. It will put into detail the requirements for joining such a human resource professional association and the benefits that come with joining them. These include career development, networking as well as material benefits like grants and scholarships. In the introduction, the report will highlight the aspects that will be of main concern to the report while explaining the aims and objectives of this particular report. In this case the point of concern will particularly be the importance of joining a human resources professional association and the implications to the person joining. It will also focus on the methodology used while obtaining this particular information as well as the limitations. The report has highlighted the results, discussions of the findings and finally the conclusion (Lundy 2006, p. 33). Introduction There are numerous advantages that are associated with joining a human resources professional association. They include ensuring that one remains updated on the developments that occur in this particular field. This is made possible with the help of the newsletters, journals and website updates that are done by these associations. They also organize conferences that inform members about the current developments in the various fields. There are many networking opportunities that are made available by joining such associations hence helping an individual to get new opportunities (Noe 2010, p. 65). These points have been elaborated in detain in the findings/results as well as the discussion. The methodology used in the gathering of the information for this report was mainly the secondary sources which include books, journals, newsletters and internet sources. The report also highlights the limitations that were encountered in the process of getting the relevant information. The report is aimed at finding the advantages that are associated with joining a human resources professional association whether at local or at the international level. The findings/results have then been discussed and a conclusion drawn. Methodology Secondary sources have been used in this research. Some of the materials used include; books, journals, newsletters and online sources. The secondary sources have been used as the method is economical and there are no much expenses to be incurred. It is less cumbersome when compared to the use of primary data. It is also less time consuming when compared to the use of primary sources of data like direct interviews. It was also preferred due to the ease in comparison between the different sources. It was for instance easier to compare the advantages of joining the human resource professional association from internet sources as well
Standardization   * Taking alcohol is a lifestyle (cc). Lifestyle entails many things and is not limited to some aspects of our life. Therefore, cycling, becoming a vegetarian, moving out of geographical locality or being gay is also lifestyle choices (xcc).   * Lifestyle is does not attract interest (cc). Therefore, it happens to be arrogant to refer to gay as mere choice of lifestyle. It should not be disguised in the veil of ‘common sense’ (xcc).   * Lifestyle is wearing accessories of various design and shape (cc). Been gay is not all that, and should not be labeled as such, as it a show of discrepancy despite the media hullabaloo that centers on the fact about sexual anomalies associated with it.   * Having a sexual orientation is a birth right (cc). Gay couples should be in a position to have and enjoy the same since it is their birth right too (xcc).   * Some laws are just made to oppress the minority (cc). Gays are a minority in society and the amendment of the marriage act to lock out gay marriages is another attempt at the discrepancy of the minorities, this time gays.   * Marriages are man and woman unions since the day immemorial (cc). Gays and other same sex associations are and man and woman based and hence they cannot qualify to be marriages. Hence if that is the case they should scraped and should not be allowed t o continue on whatever basis (xcc).   * Statistics show an overwhelming support for gay especially in Australia and in the Americas (cc). The government should not shy away from all that support shown everywhere and should live to the expectation of the people and come up with legislation that supports the same (xcc).   * America is a big country (cc). Most of the people support the issue of gay marriage. In Australia where the population is quite small in comparison with the American one, gay has seen the light of the government and has been approved. America should embrace the same human rights approach shown by a smaller country and have the right upheld for that section of the minorities (xcc). Counter Considerations The study starts with a sentence alluding to the fact that taking alcohol is a lifestyle choice. The author goes on to enumerate other activities that he also allude being lifestyle choices like cycling a bicycle, becoming a vegetarian or relocating to a seaside. This is a case of counter consideration. The author, having considered the first act as a lifestyle choice, concludes the later can also be the same. The issue of homosexuals is discussed at large; long and unwinding counter considerations for the reader to decipher are used. If buying accessories is a lifestyle issue, and they say that homosexuality is an issue of lifestyle, then the comparison becomes demeaning and rather arrogant and despicable to treat a minority grouping of people. A country like Australia has upheld the rights for gay marriages following studies that have shown greater support for the same. This support is rather vibrant also in the United States and the same ought to be done so as human rights may be seen o manifest itself and
