Portraits of the Tetrarchs The name of the piece is a portrait of the four tetrarchs, which refers to a porphyry sculpture of Roman rulers. The work of art is found in Italy at St Mark’s Basilica and is considered part of the Philadelphion decoration. The work is very important to the history of Italy because it represents the ways of life of the ancient leaders and their reasoning. The style employed in producing the piece is blocky and stout, which is similar to the ancient styles that were mainly idealistic. Repetition, rigidity, and stiffness are some of the stylistic devises employed effectively in designing the work of art. Many artists preferred using the style employed in making the sculpture in their later works and the Arch of Constantine is given as an example (Gardner and Kleiner 29). At the period, artistes were requested to employ repetition and follow the works of previous designers as much as possible. The piece of art is not different from other works developed at the time suggesting that repetition was a valued style at the time. Some of the features of the works of art that makes it similar to other pieces produced at the time include stumpy size, gaunt movements, ordering of parts through symmetry and replication, and finally describing features and drape folds through notches rather than sculpture. One of the art histories that are related to the piece is crisis of the third century, which refers to the interruptions that political and economic activities brought to the writings and artistry work. At the time, other artistic works from the east influenced the reasoning of the western artistes leading to the decline of the traditional models. Arch of Titus The piece of art was made in the 1 st century and is found in Rome. The structure is associated with Domitian who was a Roman Emperor that took over after the death of his older brother Titus. The structure was meant to commemorate the life of Titus who brought glory to the kingdom having fought and won various wars. The two major cultural values associated with the building are civilization and war given the fact the locals remembered their people who died fighting for the territory (Russell and Cohn 45). The words inscribed in the portrait suggest that those who died defending the kingdom were great people who should be remembered every year, which proves that the locals were civilized to some extent because they were able to celebrate the lives of the heroes. Regarding ideas, the portrait sent a clear message to the enemy that the people of the kingdom were prepared to die for their land and they were encourage to face anybody in the battlefield. One of the historical events or aspects associated with the buildi
Introduction For centuries, humanity has been trying to create a great number of different remedies and institutions which will be able to make the life of people easier and more coordinated. The whole history of the development of humanity can be taken as the chain of appearances of different institutions which were created under certain conditions and according to existing beliefs and rules. Though, a complication of society, development of human thought, and technologies led to the evolution of these institutions, and their progress. Moving hand in hand with humanity, they helped people to achieve great success in different issues and regulated their lives. That is why it is possible to say that they became an integral part of society and one of its main characteristics. The Justice system is one of these institutions. It is one of the oldest among them as its grounds could be seen even in prehistoric society when one person could kill another because of the piece of meat taken without a permit. Being rather primitive, these manifestations of social institutions though became the basis for the modern justice system. In the course of development, it had a great number of significant phases such as the appearance of Roman law, which is used by all civilized countries in the world, and the creation of the modern justice system. All these changes appeared as the answer to the development of society and nowadays technical revolution and widespread digital technologies also lead to the introduction of significant changes to this very system. The appearance of electronic arbitration can be taken as a result of these processes. Being rather a convenient issue it still has its advantages and disadvantages which should be analyzed for a better understanding of the efficiency of new mechanisms of the justice system. Electronic Arbitration. Definition First of all, a clear definition of the term electronic arbitration should be given. A
In the discussion “ The Coca-Cola Company and subsidiaries ”, the author focuses on the description of an annual report of the Coca-Cola Company in 2016 and the evaluation of its parts and their importance in the field of business. There are several strong and weak aspects of the discussion that have to be mentioned. The evaluation of this discussion and the consideration of the main parts of an annual report can be a useful step taken in terms of the development of personal skills, business knowledge, and critical thinking. On the one hand, the author of this post gives clear links to the sources that have been used. It is easy to check the credibility of the information and compare the results. For example, it is stated that the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” provides an overview of the company and its success during the last three years (“The Coca-Cola Company and subsidiaries”, 2016). The reader can use the link and find all detailed information about the chosen company. In addition, this discussion contains the definitions of what an annual financial report is, and what financial activities should be described. The author uses Investopedia as the main source for references and indicates Financial Statements, Auditor’s Report, Accounting Policies as the main sections of an annual report (Momoh, 2017). The definitions help to understand what kind of information is important for financiers, managers, and shareholders who are interested in the activities of the chosen company, its latest achievements, and perspectives that may have a certain impact in the future. On the other hand, the discussion under analysis contains much information taken directly from the sources without any evaluations, personal thoughts, and contributions. The information is comprehensible, but it lacks something that can he
Introduction Background Hotel businesses try to inspire their workers by utilizing extraordinary and versatile approaches to improve profitability. In any case, monetary inspiration exceeds other elective procedures received by administrators to stimulate their workers to be more efficient. Representatives typically perform better in the event that they get expanded monetary prizes (Zaraket and Saber, 2017). Consequently, the whole rewarding framework is fixed on the arrangement of money-related gains for great execution. The favorable circumstances that are connected to improved worker execution come from the arrangement that monetary prizes sign to representatives that their managers care about their prosperity. Cash is additionally an acknowledgment of the estimation of work they put in their separate fields of activity. The relationship between these positive parts of worker insight and work yield has been connected with the view that money is a driver of representative execution and hierarchical change (Zaraket and Saber, 2017). Accordingly, in this research, employees make decisions about how their managers should treat them depending on the reward system. Rationale There is a wide gap between the wages of high-positioning workers, for example, administrators and directors, and less qualified specialists. These disparities arise in an unexpected way creating a huge payment inequality between representatives who live in developed and developing nations (Artazcoz et al., 2016). The same problem applies to gender differences, as women, in general, acquire lower compensation contrasted with their male colleagues. For instance, the existing data indicate that women in the hotel business receive about 18% less money than men (Witts, 2015). Other than gender and geographics, the rewarding inequality is likewise clear in the segments such as age and education level. Despite the fact that salary imbalances continue in numerous financial areas, its consequences for organizations that work in the hotel business might be broader due to the role which administrations play in adding to guest loyalty. Aim This investigation plans to look at the commonness and effect of unequal working hours on rewards proportion in the hotel area. This exploration point is connected to the examination issue, which features wage imbalances in the business. Objectives The primary objective of the work is to identify the commonness of uneven working hours to reward pr
Introduction The supreme desire of every parent to take their children to school is for them to get the best education and excel at studies. Despite this fact, there comes the point in time when the student needs to supplement the income from their parents or rather source funds to even cater for their education (Sloman, 652). As a result, most students end up engaging in part-time jobs. It can be due to the necessity or desire to have some extra money to spend. The decision to engage in part-time jobs is entirely the student’s choice. Some get support from their parents, tutors, and friends, while others don’t. But should students have part-time jobs? This essay tries to answer this question. Before any decision to engage in part-time jobs is reached, three things have to be critically considered. These are the students themselves, the financial situation, and, finally, the type of work. The listed factors will allow a person to make decisions that they will not live to regret. Therefore, this part-time job essay is an in-depth analysis of the advantages of students having jobs and a little discussion on the disadvantages. Advantages of Part-Time Jobs for Students Part-time jobs are of great essentiality since students are able to earn while at the same time studying. Most part-time jobs require that one works for about three to four hours a day something that is manageable by almost every student given the fact that lessons don’t take the entire day. Some of the benefits associated with part-time jobs for students include the following; Relief of financial burden Students who engage in part-time jobs get paid for the services offered hence the earnings obtained can be used to partly relieve the students’ financial burden they could have. This is because the cost of education has in the recent past sky rated making students from poor families not able to afford yet the banking systems have also failed to loan such students therefore engaging in part-time jobs makes such students meet their education expenses (Somoski 1). In addition to this, part-time jobs make students have pocket money that they can spend on their won without nagging their parents with money. Promotion of education Students who undertake part-time jobs are able to upgrade their study making them understand whatever they learn in school even better. For, instance an accounting students who gets a part-time job in an accounting firm will be able to experience the theory learnt in school practically hence having a better understanding of the course. The same applies to medicine, engineering, law and biology students among others (Pickett 1). Accumulation of work experience Engaging in part-time jobs enables the students to gain experience in their field of work hence boosting their resumes. This is important when it comes to job hunting after completion of studies. Research has shown that student’s that have undertaken part-time jobs and gained relevant experience have an upper hand when it comes to getting jobs unlike those that are just fresh from school. On the other hand, working part-time for recognized organizations increases ones chances of landing i
The contemporary dynamics of the labor market differ significantly from those dominant several decades ago. This tendency involves the provision of jobs, employee retention, and their movement from one career field or organization to another. For instance, before the 1990s, it was common for individuals to have very few workplaces throughout their lifetime. Today, by the age of 30, people often tend to have had several working experiences at different organizations. This phenomenon mainly occurs because the responsibility for career development that used to be practiced by organizations has been moved to their employees. Edgar Schein (1996) developed the career anchor theory that was expected to determine what motivations stand behind the choices of career fields; the motivators were grouped into 8 anchors. Today, this theory is almost inapplicable because most careers are very complicated and can be characterized by more than one anchor. Also, an individual may have several anchors at a time, and that would not make their choice of a career easier or determine their loyalty to a certain sphere. Analyzing myself, I could name several dominant anchors; they are, managerial, security, lifestyle, and service. As a result, I am characterized by a multitude of theoretically suitable career fields. In my opinion, the anchors determine a sphere of action of an individual but not a specific career field. In that way, life-long learning will facilitate my movement from one anchor to another throughout my lifetime. Reference Schein, E. H. (1996). Career anchors revisited: Implications for career development in the 21st century. The Academy of Management Executive, 10 (4), 80-88.
Introduction Emergency management is one of the most critical responsibilities of the government. According to Haddow, Bullock, and Coppola (2014), emergencies may arise because of a wide range of factors, but consequences tend to be identical. Some may be caused by human error or acts of terror while others may be attributed to natural disasters. Irrespective of the cause of an emergency, the most important thing is the ability of the relevant agencies to respond within the right time to save lives and property. The Qatar Civil Defence Department is responsible for managing different types of risks. It must deal with emergencies such as fire outbreaks, major flooding, and other major natural disasters. The ability of this department to achieve its strategic goals depends on its understanding of its mandate, availability of skilled workers, adequate resources, and goodwill among top managers. The report focuses on aspects of preparing for major incidents with a primary emphasis on mitigating the consequences of such emergencies. The report is expected to be of benefit to the Qatar Civil Defence Department with the primary aim of improving the agency’s efficiency. The primary objectives are to identify the changing hazards and develop ways through which this department can respond to them effectively as the country prepares to host the 2022 World Cup. Scope The primary focus of this paper is to determine how the Qatar Civil Defence Department can mitigate the consequences of stadium collapse that may occur during the upcoming major football tournament. The department should be properly prepared to achieve success in such endeavors. It should have the right resources needed to manage a possible collapse of a football stadium during the tournament (Sylves 2015). This department needs to focus also on identifying new or changing hazards and threats from both local and wider environments. Other than the threat of stadium collapse which is the main focus of this paper, issues such as the threat of terror attack or actions of extremist groups, cyber-attacks and national border infiltration, climate change, regional political tension, and other legal concerns should be taken seriously. It may be necessary to take train employees for them to understand these emerging threats. However, dealing with regional political rivalries is beyond the scope of this paper. Although a potential attack by foreign forces is a real and serious threat to the national security in the country, the topic may need to be considered by future researchers. Analysis Preparing for a major disaster is one of the most important aspects of mitigation. Qatar is currently preparing to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup and various emergencies may arise in the construction sites or other parts of the country. The Qatar Civil Defence Department should be fully prepared to deal with these emergencies to protect lives. The task may be overwhelming, espec
The Union of the Soviet Socialists Republics (USSR) had many outstanding political figures. They include Trotsky, Lenin and Josef Stalin. USSR became a world super power under the leadership of Josef Stalin.The superiority of the USSR was attributed to their military stability, political, industrial powers and their flourishing economy. These were established through strategic plans laid by Stalin as he ascended to power after the death of Lenin in 1924.The paper will look at Josef Stalin’s childhood/early life, how he came to power, what he did that was significant, and how the world changed because of him. Also a brief look at what he did during WWII. Joseph Stalin was born as Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili in Gori, 1878. During his early childhood, his face was permanently scarred after suffering from a small pox attack. Beside that, he permanently damaged his left hand as a result two accidents that happened to him. He enrolled at Georgian Orthodox Seminary through a scholarship unfortunately he did not complete the course because he could not afford the required school fees. This resulted to his being expelled after which, he was inspired by revolutionary writings of Vladimir Lenin. In 1903, his desire for politics was satisfied when he joined the Bolsheviks and became an advocate of Marxism, a movement through which he carried out revolutions i.e. robberies and extortions. These illegal activities led him to be imprisoned many times, he also lived in exile. While in exile in Baku, his wife Ekaterina died. He started a newspaper printing press and named it Pravda. He remained as an editor of the newspaper (Suny 17). The Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War of 1917-1919 was major role that Stalin played. This ended in the victory for the Bolsheviks. As a matter of fact during the revolution Lenin escaped and went into exile thus creating room for Stalin to rise to power. He was elected to the Bolshevik Central Committee and became an appointee to hold the seat of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union’s Central Committee. This was after Georgia had been attacked by the Red Army. After the death of Lenin, Josef Stalin ascended to power. Stalin eliminated all his former allies who could cause a threat to his leadership and by the y
Even though every generation connects itself to the place of birth or residence, everyone’s roots go deep into the past. There has been so much mixing of blood that it has become impossible to trace the origins of humanity. It is also unclear what type of blood is predominant in a person and what genetic material has the most influence on individuality and behavior. My present life is very much affected by the surrounding environment. My background goes far back through Indian culture but the modern world and location has its influence as well. The traditions and unique setting of the United States of America allows for freedom of culture, speech and beliefs. This is a great addition to any race and background because people can practice their religion, keep their traditions and still be a part of the society. The younger the generation, the easier it becomes to get used to the world that is around and so, the transition into the new population and culture is almost unnoticeable. My background is Indian since my parents are from India, their parents and so on. The generation line can be traced all the way to 400 A.D., if not further. Everyone in the family has had a life full of honor and belief into the great power and God which guides all people. Relatives have told stories of the old times when the world was a very different place. People used to enjoy simple things in life. There were no TVs, computers, internet or other forms of technological advancements that are so easily available today. Especially Indian culture had a close connection to nature and the forces that make everything the way it is. I think it is much more beneficial for people to be closely tied with the Earth because it is important to care for it and live in balance. When people take care of the surrounding environment, they are also healthier themselves and this has been one of the key goals of our family. It is a very good thing that there are many communities in the United States that share the same views and outlook on life because it is very valuable to remember the ancestors and respect the origins of the family tree. Our family is one of many that have kept the knowledge of traditions and particularly, the qualities and usage of a plant called Turmeric. It is a very ancient plant that is related to ginger but can be used for many purposes. It originated some time before 500 A.D. and was used by Indian and Asian population for a long time. There are several ways of preparing the plant, as it can be boiled, dried or left in its fresh condition. It can be added to food because it is a little spicy and has somewhat bitter taste that can be compared to mustard or other similar spices. Sometimes, it was used in sweet dishes to give them a distinct taste and add flavor. This requires drying and chopping the plant. In other instances, it is used in a leaf form, for wrapping foods or just as a leafy-salad mixture. When it was being exported to places outside of Asia, it found many other uses and people have been adding Turmeric powder for coloring to many different cakes, yogurt, ice cream, juices and a large numb
