Introduction The Book Know My Name: A Memoir is an inspirational source of information regarding the challenges and pains victims of sexual violence go through. In this riveting piece of work, the reader gets a chance to learn more about the American justice systems and how it victimizes the affected individuals. This essay gives a detailed analysis of the justice system’s response to the author’s ordeal. Miller’s Expression of the Justice System In the selected book, the reader realizes that Chanel Miller tries to be a good person despite the fact that she is a victim of rape. Throughout the period, it becomes clear that Miller is encouraged to trust the system and follow the precedent or normalcy that is already in place. However, it eventually becomes quite clear that the laws put in place and the procedures only demean her (Miller 84). The facts of the case only appear to bring her to something that could be compared with justice. However, the reports from the case describe a totally different person. Miller decides to use the book as the best tool to give a detailed picture of her situation and anguish. She does so with the aim of guiding other people to learn more about sexual violence and how the system treats casually. In the work, the author writes: “my pain was never more valuable than his potential” (Feller). In such a quote, Miller is trying to describe how the legal process ignores the pain and anguish she had to endure during the ordeal. Instead, the new focus is on the trial process and how the offender, Brock Turner, is able to defend himself. The kind of portrayal diverts the attention from the reality, thereby making it impossible for justice to be served. This work, therefore, tries to expose the inefficiencies and inappropriateness of the country’s justice system when dealing with rape cases. The process of seeking justice becomes another stumbling block for victims of rape. For instance, the book tries to explain how Miller is required by the investigators to repeat the exact details of the assault. Such a process makes it impossible for the victim to deal with depression and trauma. Instead, she is forced to develop mental pressure and become depressed (Miller 109). The problem worsens when the courts take longer to convict the offender or provide justice. From the work, the reader learns that it took several months for Brock Turner to be sentenced. Additionally, the attorney could be accused of introducing Miller as a stereotype seeking the attention of the media. The judgment for Brock Turner also leaves the reader questioning the validity and the desire to provide the much needed justice. From this analysis, it becomes clear that the process of seeking justice remai
Introduction Fairmont Hotels and Resort is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and celebrated brands in the hotel industry worldwide. The brand offers unrivaled high standards to its customers, hence it is the preferred brand among dignitaries and celebrities all around the world (Kotler & Armstrong). Mumbai, India is known for its landscape and weather that sets it as a perfect skiing destination. The market, however, is underserved as it lacks a luxurious brand offering services to some segments of the market. That is why some steps should be done to fill this gap. Analysis of the market and rivalry should be done for the purpose of predicting the success of the project. To afford the project with the facilities, the shareholders of an already existing known local hotel should be bought with the intention to remodel it according to the standards of Fairmont Company. Indoor skiing arena should be built from the ground up, as it is the unique building for this area. Market Situational Analysis Analysis of the market is necessary as its results can guarantee the projects financial success. The Fairmont company is market-oriented brand, and its main aim is to give high-quality services to its customers. The area for the project is chosen perfectly, as Mumbai is the commercial, financial and entertainment capital. It is a metropolitan city. That is why it is the best place to build a ski resort. It will target the cream of society, made up of the Bollywood movie actors, political leadership and the executives of several companies in Mumbai. Product Review An indoor ski resort will include manufactured snow and controlled temperatures to offer customers an exhilarating experience of skiing all year round. Indoor skiing has become very popular worldwide, especially among the young and middle-aged population which want to engage in adventurous and fascinating activities. The management should have a complete understanding of the services at different locations by developing perfect entry market strategies for their organization (Kotler & Armstrong). Competitive Review It is obvious that at the moment there are no indoor ski resorts in Mumbai. This fact should be taken into account as it is one of the main factors of the projects success. Fairmont will offer clean, serene, and private skiing facility to the people who value their privacy and high-quality services. This particular market is sensitive to high standards, and that is why the environment provided by Fairmont would appeal to them. Fairmont is famous for its high-quality service and experience that offers value for money. That is why this brand can serve as a good advertisement for this project. There is a tendency in the modern world, that rich people make some kind of advertising, recommending some place, restaurant, hotel or resort
The social disparity has always been an integral part of human society. The emergence of money made this problem even worse. People became very dependent on this remedy. Money became the main standard, according to which a person could be determined whether he/she was successful or not. It is quite natural that there are rich and poor people in society. However, if the number of the last ones is extremely great, this tendency becomes threatening for the country. Poverty can be very dangerous within the framework of social relations and the functioning of the state (Little, 2013). With this in mind, it is necessary to investigate the main aspects of this issue in order to avoid its dangerous aftermath. It is possible to suggest that there are some main reasons for poverty, which are the ineffective political system, discrimination, and mistakes of the rulers of different states. Traditionally, there were several reasons for poverty. In ancient times the majority of the population lived under horrible conditions in the state of constant poverty. There were several reasons for such a state of affairs. First of all, it was connected with the political system of ancient states. Poor people were the main source of income of the privileged minority. Being discriminated against and exploited, they had no chances to improve their state as nothing depended on them. Moreover, rich people and government were not interested in the improvement of the state of these people. Besides, very often, the rulers of different states were not able to provide wise economic policy, and poor layers of society suffered from it, becoming even poorer and more miserable. That is why discrimination, the inabilit
Problem The phenomenon that is considered in the article can be defined as the development of individual leadership. McDermott, Kidney, and Flood define it as “an ongoing process of personal development,” which makes leadership and related skills the “personal capital” of the leader (358). The authors point out that despite the general interest towards the leadership development, the individual experiences of the leaders are less researched, and they consider it to be an issue since, apparently, the individual leader development is of importance for the collective growth in leadership understanding. In order to resolve this issue and highlight its significance for the scientific community and practitioners, McDermott, Kidney, and Flood undertake their study on the individual leadership development. Also, the authors consider five major themes in leaderships that are often a subject of debates and apparently require additional research: the origin of leaders, work balance, emotions, the question of collective and individual nature of leadership, and the universality of leadership. Hypothesis The study of McDermott, Kidney, and Flood is primarily exploratory in nature, which is why it would be incorrect to insist that they suggest a hypothesis on the results of the interviews. It can be stated, though, that their study is based on the assumption that the personal formative experiences of successful leaders are capable of providing insights into the leadership development topic. In other words, the work is aligned with the developmental perspective of leadership, which is described below. While it may or may not be regarded as a hypothesis proper, this assumption receives confirmation in the findings and conclusions of the study. Also, they make assumptions about the themes that should be discussed, but they do not form hypotheses, which is normal for an exploratory study (Andrew, Pedersen, and McEvoy 8). The Need for the Study Leadership development is considered to be a very important tool that affects organization performance, which is why investing in leadership development and researching it is deemed a worthwhile activity. Apart from that, the authors believe that their topic is especially unique: given that the traditional approach to leadership does focus on the collective leadership capacity, the integration of personal formative experiences in this framework may be considered original. As a result, the work offers a relatively new perspective on leadership formation. Also, the experiences of successful leaders are always of interest both for theorists and practicing leaders. In general, the need for a study that is devoted to this problem and carried out in this way is apparent and justified. Methodology The study is qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and based on empirical data,
Introduction As the information technology is making great strides and is expeditiously turning the world into an inter-networked village, it is also opening avenues for invasion of privacy. On of the various forms of pilferage of personal information is identity theft. This is perhaps one of the most heinous crimes arising due to the lapse of security and privacy particularly in the cyberspace. However, the crime of identity theft has been devastating the personal and the professional lives of many since the past several decades. This evil is increasingly rising with the passage of time especially with the electronic mode of communication. California was the sole state to take the initiative of tackling the issue of identity theft. The state incorporated laws on the crime in its legislation. The law required the different organization keeping personal information of customers to be careful regarding when and how to use the data without any unnecessary disclosure. The other states followed the footsteps of California and implemented similar litigation on identity theft. (Schneier, 2006). Critics argue that the crime of identity theft is fundamentally a serious offence of impersonation. The thief or the criminal obtains the personal information of the victim and impersonates himself to be him. The actual identity of the victim, if viewed in the literal sense, is not “stolen” rather it is all the relevant and confidential information of the unfortunate individual or individuals which is being misused (Schneier, 2006). Elements of Identity Theft Under Historical Common Law As the crime of identity theft is being committed since a long time, there were laws already in place to combat and reduce the crime. These legislative policies also determined the treatment to be meted out to the offenders as well as the victims. The laws traditionally dealt with the issues of impersonation. Later, more emphasis was placed on transfer of personal information among different state-owned and private organizations. According to a survey conducted by Privacy and Human Rights (n.d), “Multi-media fuse many forms of transmission and expression of data and images so that information gathered in a certain form can be easily translated into other forms”. This is a source of pilferage of information. Data is more susceptible to get into wrong hands. It is seen throughout history that California is a “trend-setter” in promulgating laws on the crime. The state has been a “first-ado
Friedman’s traditional view of business responsibility   * According to Friedman, the main purpose of a corporation is to maximize shareholders returns.   * Corporations are responsible only to their shareholders not the entire society.   * Corporations have the obligation of obeying the laws of the nation where the organization is situated but that does not mean that they are obligated to the society in any way.   * Friedman also argues that an individual who performs business and acts in a responsible way by reducing the price of the products sold in the firm to avoid inflation or minimize pollution or make expenditures, or appoint hard-core unemployed is instead spending shareholder’s money to gain social interest(Wheelen & Hunger 2010).   * Friedman claims that these acts are not economical even if the business person has obtained permission from the shareholder. This is because the actions may cause harm to the society in the long run instead of saving it or helping it.   * The business may become less efficient is the firm decides to take social costs burden. The prices for products may either go up to compensate for the increased costs or new investments made in the business.   * According to Friedman, these results will negatively affect the fatally of the business; its long long-term efficiency will reduce.   * Friedman therefore decided to refer to business social responsibility as fundamentally subversive doctrine (Wheelen & Hunger 2010).   * According to Friedman, there is only one soc
Big Data and eBusiness Relevance Nowadays, more people get to know the term Big Data and try to understand its essence and make use of it to benefit in the chosen activities. According to Yin, Jiang, Lin, Luo, and Liu (2014), Big Data makes it possible to open a new era of science and human abilities to discover it through data-driven computing. Many scientists and researchers offer their ideas on how to develop the Big Data paradigm and why people need pay more attention to this concept. For example, Jao (2014), the CEO of one of the retention automation platform for eCommerce, admits that Big Data is beneficial from a variety of perspectives: it helps to improve business, choose the best advertising, decide on the marketing strategies, control customer retention, etc. It is hard to imagine the world of eBusiness, and eCommerce in particular, without Big Data. Its impact remains to be huge, and the following examples can prove its urgency. First of all, the organisation of information can be facilitated. For a long period, different companies have been challenged to collect, save, and keep data from different sources at one place. It was necessary to spend much time analysing each piece of the source chosen. Big Data helps to extract a certain value from data given (Nwokpoku 2015). People, who are involved in eBusiness, win a lot with Big Data concept due to the existing relevance by means of which people can combine data from browsers, social media, and different records and underline those ideas that become more important. Secondly, Big Data provides business people with an opportunity to make decisions that are more informed and data-driven. The key features of this concept are variability, velocity, variety, and value (Gandomi & Haider 2014). They show that each piece of information is a powerful combination of different credible facts that may touch upon different spheres of life and help people make fast and properly-grounded decisions. Such ability is necessary for the world of eBusiness; therefore, this relevance cannot be neglected in the analysis. Thirdly, the personalisation of information becomes possible with Big Data. Though some people may think that such general concept with a variety of sources can hardly promote privacy or similar issues, Big Data is created to help sellers observe the changes of users’/consumers’ behaviour and make the necessary connections to realise what can be done more to achieve more efficient results. Finally, it is wrong to believe that Big Data an
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century. He is, undoubtedly, one of the most criticized scientists. At that, he had a great impact on the development of the western society. Of course, it is possible to criticize his ideas, it is possible to call them unscientific. Nonetheless, it is simply impossible to ignore Freud and his ideas. Thus, On Dreams (1914) is one of the most popular books of this controversial author. The book was written after the success of another work The Interpretation of Dreams (1900). In his book On Dreams Freud revealed his ideas on dreams to make them understandable for non-professionals. Of course, the book can also be interesting for psychiatrists, scientists, neurologists, etc. It is possible to state that the book is a result of Freud’s self-analysis, his private practice and his theoretical orientation. Notably, Freud was influenced by the work of Jean-Martin Charcot who paid a lot of attention to hypnosis. Sigmund Freud got inspired by the ideas of unconscious mind. However, soon he adopted another method. Freud’s friend and mentor Joseph Breuer had a very specific approach. He did not rely on hypnosis, but he used conversations to help his patients. The case of Anna O. made him as well as Freud understand that talking to patients and making them recall some events and dreams can be very effective, even more effective than hypnosis. Such ideas became the basis for Freud’s numerous works, and especially his book On Dreams . It is possible to state that this book is one of the most well-known books by the author. The book is worth reading as it makes the world of psychopathology more understandable. There are quite many books written by Freud. However, the book under consideration occupies a very special place as it is on the border between the world of scientists and the rest of the world. The book helps people learn more about one of the most influential theoretical approaches in psychopathology. In his book On Dreams Freud reveals the major mechanisms of dreams. Thus, one of the central ideas of the book is that the dream is “the guardian of sleep” (Freud, 2010, p. 38). The scientist notes that sleep is one of the most important physiological processes, which helps the human organism to accumulate energy to start a new day. Freud (2010) also notes that people can be easily distracted from sleep by various stimuli: light, sounds, physical needs, etc. Nonetheless, dreams keep people sleeping as they transform the stimuli into a more appropriate form, i.e. the form of visions which keep people in the unconscious state. The scientist also expresses his ideas on the dream work (Freud, 2010). The researcher defines four major stages of the dream work. Freud (2010, p. 28) defines the dream work as “the transference of dream thought to dream content”. First, the researcher dwells upon condensation, i.e. combination of two or more though
Introduction Background to the study The global luxury industry has undergone remarkable evolution over the past five years despite the turbulent global economic environment. Some of the markets that have witnessed strong performance include the Latin America, Europe, China, and the United States. A report released by Bain & Company in 2012 projected that the global luxury market would grow with 10% in 2013 (Reed 2012). One of the issues that consumers of luxury fashion products are increasingly focusing on relates to a high level of personalisation at different organisation touchpoints. The core motive is to achieve a unique experience. This trend has emerged from the improvement in the level of information amongst consumers, which is changing how consumers engage with products. This aspect has motivated fashion retailers to incorporate digital media platforms in their operations. Wiedmann, Hennigs, and Siebels (2007) assert that luxury is concerned with the consumers’ emotion. Adopting digital mediums in their marketing process can provide luxury firms with a higher competitive edge as compared to print mediums. Purpose The purpose of this report is to appraise the future of digital with regard to luxury consumer experience. The report specifically focuses on fashion retailers by assessing the application of digital techniques and technologies in Stella McCartney’s operation. The report assesses how the firm utilises digital platforms in improving consumer experience.
