Since early childhood, I had a dream of becoming a physician because I greatly admire these peoples work and the invaluable assistance which they give to patients daily. During these years I have tried to stick to this dream despite all difficulties. After leaving school I enrolled at King Saud University, where I received my Bachelors degree in medicine and surgery in 2004. Subsequently, I started an internship at King Khaled University hospital in Riyadh, which I finished with excellent results. Initially, I chose pediatrics to be my major, as it was one of the few well-organized programs available in Saudi Arabia. However, when I joined my husband in Canada, my eyes opened to other branches of medicine, in particular, to neuropathology and I understood that it had to be my vocation. Neuropathology gives deep insights into the functioning of the human brain and helps people suffering from neural diseases. As my interest in this area increased I began to read and learn more about this specialty. This science enables us to unveil the mysteries of consciousness and identify the cause of many diseases. My love for investigating the structure of tissues, using new technologies only strengthened my intention to pursue a career in neuropathology. I always believe that a person can start a new page in his or her life and this seems to be the right moment to do it. On the whole, neuropathology is that area of activity in which I can do my best and better serve the interests of my patients. This is one of the reasons why I am so intent on entering this program. My former colleagues describe me as a very responsible worker, ready to assist them and take their advice if the situation requires it. Being reliable, helping others with their needs, and sincerely serving the community are my main goals and priorities. While treating my patients I always attempt to establish humanitarian relationships with them and place myself in their position. Fair application of the moral code of ethics and complete confidentiality are the most crucial concerns to me. Hopefully, these qualities will be useful to me in the course of my professional activities. Coming here to Canada and practicing medicine among professional physicians is the first stage of what I hope will be a bright future career. After in-depth reading on this fascinating branch of medicine, I have decided that neuropathology is the ideal choice for me and that I wish to dedicate the rest of my professional life to its study. To become one of the leaders of neuropathology in Saudi Arabia, I would like to apply for the residency program and fellowship at your hospital. I took time searching your website and I was fascinated by the program and the wide scope of training that it gives. The use of the most cutting-edge technologies, ample research, fellowship opportunities, and accomplished faculty are the main reasons why I am so willing to enroll in this program. I do understand that I am not the only candidate and that other students want to become neuropa
In the process of learning and creating new ideas in the institutions of learning, knowledge is founded on previous ideas and experiences drawn from other people. When the new ideas we create are written down, people want to differentiate which are your ideas and the building blocks from which they are based. This is done by citing the sources of your building blocks. When this is not done and the student present ideas of others as their own, it is called plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined by the Instrument of Student Judicial Governance section II.B.1. as “the deliberate or reckless representation of another’s words, thoughts, or ideas as one’s own without attribution in connection with submission of academic work, whether graded or otherwise.” (Plagiarism Par 1). This cheating can result to punishment by the school authorities, course failure or suspension. Policies on plagiarism Plagiarism in all its forms is a serious offence in institutions of learning and students should take initiative to educate themselves about it. Any work presented for marking in the institutions is supposed to be checked for plagiarism by the professors and reported if such instances are found and an investigation is launched. A plagiarism policy in the University of Sydney states that “Where an Examiner detects or is made aware of alleged Plagiarism or Academic Dishonesty by a student; the Examiner must report the alleged Plagiarism or Academic Dishonesty to a Nominated Academic” (University of Sydney p. 8). Once found guilty, a record is made in student’s record and the situation may even lead to expulsion. Another rule on plagiarism is that students copying or using another students work. In this case, both students are guilty since no one should make his/her work available to another student unless under instructions to do so by the instructor (Department of Sociology Para 4). Violations Plagiarism occurs in many ways some deliberate and others negligent (University of Sydney p. 4). Plagiarism covers the act of presenting ideas that have been used in previous works regardless of how they are expressed without citing. Failure to cite properly any work copied word to word from works of others whether a few words or segments or paragraphs can result to plagiarism. Nonetheless, extensive copying is unlawful even if cited. In addition, plagiarism results when everything that is not common knowledge is written without acknowledging the author or the original source. Finally, it is a plagiarism crime to copy word to word works obtained from the World Wide Web or even presenting a whole paper from the internet as one’s work. Consequences of Plagiarism There are many consequences of plagiarism depending with the parties involved. For students, plagiarism may result to expulsion from school or temporal suspension. Different colleges and universities have different rules to deal with plagiarism. In some instances the grade of the person is lowered which in other instances, the person is awarde
Introduction All of us will, no doubt, agree that Nursing deserves a prominent place in modern society. It is a noble profession and is a means to earn but it is also a selfless service, especially benefiting the poor and the needy. The development of the nursing field is an essential factor for a country’s bright future. Hence it becomes almost mandatory that all necessary developments should be brought about in this field. The innovation of different Adult Learning Theories has done much in this field, especially their implementation among adolescents and adults. The adolescent period is a more problematic period of a person’s life, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here both physical
The students fought for meaningful changes in the 1960-1970s. Notably, those changes were to improve educational system of the country. Nonetheless, they were also to change considerably the very basis of the society. In the first place, students demanded improvement of the tuition. Young people claimed that professors were absolutely indifferent to their subjects, students and their development. However, the youth believed it was professors’ task to inspire new generations to develop and grow. Students were tired of the boring lectures that did not give anything to them. They longed for discussions and real interaction with their professors. Students argued that discussions would let them think critically and self-develop. Another way to make students truly gain knowledge was to change the form of examination. Students demanded to change the very way students were assessed. They argued that tests could only check students’ memory. However, it was more critical to check whether students are capable of analyzing and evaluating. Young people understood it was more important to learn to think, than to memorise mere facts. Finally, students also touched upon wider issues. They argued that the very system of education was to be changed as it was meant to provide the system with proper tools. In other words, students understood that education was not accessible for everyone, though politicians claimed it was. Young people argued that it was the right time for students and workers to unite as those two social strata were closely connected. Students did not want to become isolated from the social reality. They wanted to make the society better. Therefore, it is possible to state that students wanted to change educational system along with the basis of the society of that period. What Are the Similarities and Differences between How Women’s Movements and Gay/Lesbian Movements Are Talking about “Liberation” in the United States and Latin America? One of the major similarities between liberation of women’s and gay/lesbian movements was the desire to change people’s mindset. Women as well as gay people argued that the society was built on false preaching and people’s mindsets were being changed. They claimed that from the very childhood boys and girls were taught to behave in a particular way and see things in a specific way. In the USA and Latin America, women and gay people saw that they were oppressed and they wanted to diminish that oppression. Women and gay people saw their liberation as something revolutionary and positive for the development of the society. They argued that they tried to make the right choices and those choices would lead to a better and more progressive world. As far as differences are concerned, the oppressed strata in the US and Latin America focused on rather different things. One of the central things for US women was the image of a good wife. The US women claimed that an image of a young and posh girl was the creation of males, which insulted womanhood. They also tried to object and to make mal

Chart one showing resources analysis of Best Buy Corporation From a financial accounting perspective, resources are economic assets that can be owned or controlled to yield value that could be utilized to lead to positive economic results (Rothaermel, 2013). In other words, tangible and intangible resources of Best Buy Company are those assets that could be converted into cash by the management (Rothaermel, 2013). However, it is important to note that cash is also a resource. As displayed in the balance sheet of the company, the firm is characterized by very strong current and fixed resources (Best Buy, 2014). The assets could imply that the business establishment has premises on which to base its local and foreign investments with regard to doing business. There is a general increase in the value of the company’s resources, which could mean that the assets have been improving over the years. The total accounts receivables for 2010, 2011 and 2012 were 2,348, 2,288 and 2,704 million USD respectively. Accounts receivables are important aspects of a business and they determine the
Abstract Companies use financial statements to portray their true financial positions. Managers use financial statements in planning and forecasting. In addition, financial statements show the long-term stability of the company. Companies should be able to interpret information in financial statements. Various factors determine the interpretation of information in financial statements. Companies in various regions have different acceptable values of information in the financial statements. Debt-to-equity ratio is one of the major information that determines the financial performance of an organization. However, the acceptable value of the debt-to-equity ratio differs from one business environment to another. This may pose several problems to multinational corporations (MNC), which have subsidiaries in various business environments. In addition, subsidiaries of MNCs operate using different currencies. Introduction The United States’ Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires multinational corporations that have 50% of voting rights in foreign companies to have consolidated financial statements. Some companies may reduce their ownership to less than 50% to eliminate the need to consolidate equity investments. To tackle this problem, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) expanded consolidation to beyond ‘legal’ control (Radhakrishnan, 2012). MNCs should recast the financial statements of the foreign GAAP to US GAAP. In addition, multinational corporations should translate foreign currency into US dollars. Finally, multinational corporations should combine the financial statements of the foreign companies with the financial statements of the parent company (Holt, 2004). One of the major advantages of consolidating financial statements is that it enables a company to access more credit. However, foreign currency translations and consolidation pose several problems to an organization. Therefore, an organization should look for alternative methods of presenting the financial statements of foreign companies. Therefore, a company needs to consider the benefits and limitations of consolidation before deciding whether to consolidate the financial reports. Consolidation is usually beneficial to companies that have interdependent operations (Muller, 2012). Limitations of Recasting Financial Statements Companies may face several problems due to foreign currency translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries from the foreign GAAP to US GAAP. A company cannot consolidate its financial statements unless it translates the foreign currency. However, these financial statements are not as effective as the original statements. An organization can’t have a good analysis of the financial statements without referring to the business environment of the foreign subsidiary. Referring to the business environment of the foreign subsidiary provides insights that are unavailable in the translated financial state
History of the Research Topic Saudi women are typically perceived as rather conservative people who are focused on their privacy that is why they are not associated with any sports. However, recently, the Arab world has proved that its female population is not inferior to the rest of the world. In 2012, they participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, promoting physical activity among peers. Princess Reema Bandar did her best to make women from Saudi Arabia open a new area for development. However, there were no female athletes from the country at Asian Games in South Korea, even though almost 200 men were present (Almaeena, 2014). This fact revealed that the female population faces numerous challenges when it comes to participation in sports. According to the Secretary-General of Saudi Arabia’s Olympic Committee, women “were not yet competitive enough for the Asian Games” (Almaeena, 2014, para. 5). This characteristic can be explained in several ways. First of all, ladies started being trained along with boys only in the 2000s, which presupposes that this kind of practice is not yet well-developed. Female participation in sports starts being introduced in schools. However, public educational establishments open clubs rather rarely because of the lack of professionals who can work with girls. Moreover, there are no appropriate stadia and halls in schools. In addition to that, there are no physical education departments in universities, which means that they can hardly be properly educated. Another obstacle faced by Saudi women who want to compete in sports is that the many representatives of the general public are still not ready to perceive the female population as a part of the world of sports. They do not realize how important exercises are for women and focus on stereotyped views, failing to understand that they can help fighting depressions and menopause (Toumi, 2017). Finally, the greatest issue that prevents Saudi women from being engaged in sports is the absence of sports-promoting culture. The majority of the female population considers sports to be a luxury or an alien phenomenon. For them, it is an unnecessary thing that can cause trouble in ordinary life. Fortunately, particular improvements are already observed. Women find an opportunity to go in for sports regardless of the existing challenges. They wear specific clothes that prevent them from breaking the rules and practice separately from men (James, 2016). In this way, even though numerous changes are still to be implemented, Saudi women have a chance of overcoming those issues that prevent them from participating in sports currently. Methodological Perspective of Approaching the Topic On the basis of the literature sources that were used for the discussion of the selected topic and consideration of its peculiarities, it is possible to presuppose that the best methodological perspective that can be used in this case is a deduction. This very approach allows starting research with the general level of focus. In this way, it is presupposed that Saudi women face challenges in s
Michelle Alexander is an American writer who is known for her deep knowledge in the sphere of law as she works as a civil rights advocate. She has been interested in the issue of racial discrimination and justice for many years already. Her book “The New Jim Crow” is writing that discusses this very topic and its connection with mass incarceration. The author believes that it can be one of the new systems used to control society and affect African Americans negatively even though it seems to make the USA safer for the representatives of the general public. Alexander (2010) argues that the number of African Americans who are controlled by the criminal justice system becomes higher with time and it exceeds the number of European Americans who are in the same condition. To prove this point of view, she resorts to the information regarding slavery, which reveals that in the middle of the 19th century there were fewer enslaved African Americans than today those who are connected with crimes. The author states that even though all people seem to have the same rights and the US government insists on the initiatives targeted at the spread of diversity and equality, those African Americans who are claimed to be felons face prejudice when dealing with almost all aspects of life, including education, employment, and voting. Thus, Alexander (2010) insists on the fact that the civil rights laws of the 1960s turn out to be ineffective today when being applied to people of color. She goes back to Jim Crow segregation and compares it with the contemporary situation, claiming that they have much in common. In her book, the author claims that mass incarceration, as well as slavery, maintains a racial caste system, which presupposes the existence of a racial group that holds the subordinate position because of legislation peculiarities and habits that are peculiar to the particular society. Alexander (
Introduction Background to t he study Over the recent past, there has been an increment in the degree of sensitivity with regard to corporate social responsibility amongst the large and small enterprise operating in various economic sectors. According to Epstein (2008, p.288), management teams of firms in different economic sectors are becoming more concerned with the stakeholders and other social issues. As a result, they are committed towards ensuring that they improve the publicity of their business enterprises thus becoming good corporate citizens. The shift has resulted from an increment in pressure by either the stakeholders or due to an increment in government regulation. In addition, the shift has also been occasioned by the high rate of globalization. Fisher (2009, p. 1) is of the opinion that the high rate of globalization is culminating into an increment in the rate at which the world economy is becoming integrated. This presents numerous opportunities for firms to exploit. However, a new set of dynamics have also resulted. Some of these challenges are relate to climate change. There has been increased criticism towards business as being one of the major contrib
For the Confucians, marriage is a very significant aspect of a person’s life as it is viewed as the cultivation of their virtue. This is still very much still the belief in modern-day China. From ancient China until today, giving birth to a baby boy is more widely accepted than a baby girl. This is because boys are viewed as being more responsible and more capable of taking care of their parents as they grow up compared to a girl whereby they will be married to someone else when they grow up. Apart from that, Confucians also view marriage as a momentous moment for the family as well as the society. Thus, Chinese women are prohibited from finding their own partner as their parents would want only the best man for their daughter, this would be in terms of money, power as well as family name. The family name is a very important part of most ancient Chinese marriages as the girls’ surname will change to her husband’s surname which is why having a boy would mean more as they would be able to carry on the family name forever. Compared to the Confucians, Taoists believe that marriage is something more of an emotional adventure, rather than a family or society moment. However, in today’s world, women are becoming bolder against their traditions by picking their own man to marry and marriage is becoming a rather expensive industry in China especially since many Chinese women are drawn to what they watch on television about having a luxurious wedding. However, most recently, Chinese parents have expanded their horizons, thus allowing their daughters to have the freedom to choose their own man, though they still insist on having it in a more traditional way. In recent times, Chinese women are more conscious not to have kids due to the high cost of having kids and to maintain their body figure. The cost of having a kid in China is going up tremendously; especially since about a few years back due to the rapid development in China as the
