Introduction Who is the right person to marry? Every man and woman who is married or intending to marry must have had that question in mind. Selecting a marriage partner is very important. This is because the kind of a mate one selects determines what kind of marriage they will have. Therefore, one has to be careful in selecting a marriage partner. What is the most important thing when choosing a life partner? It is race, culture, education level, personality or love. This paper will endeavor to look at mate selection in the American society. How the selection varies from other cultures of the world. The paper will also look at differences between selecting a mate now and 40 -50 years ago. What is the best way to select mate according to researches? How do ethnic backgrounds such as race, religion play a role in selecting mate? Why careful selection of mate is important for success of marriage? How do societal factors influence selecting a partner? Selection of mate in American society In the American society “feeling romantic is a prerequisite for choosing a marriage partner” (Dixon 45). The romantic love involves physical attraction, sex, passion as well as deep emotions. However, it is important to note that this has not always been the case. Those who believe in romantic love are of the opinion that love conquers all. Therefore, when selecting a mate romantic love is a crucial criterion in this society. Most Americans believe in marrying their soul mate (Hamon and Ingoldsby 11). One is also expected to select a mate outside “their own kin group” (Andersen and Taylor 394). The trend in the American society is to select mates who have similar characteristics to their own. This is a general selection criterion called homogamy. People are discouraged from marrying next of kin or within family, which is exogamy (Hamon and Ingoldsby 11). People also select mates who are in similar occupations. This depends on the educational background. People who attended elite private schools get the chances to advance their education in institutions of higher learning. When they come to selecting mates they select people who are in respectable professions and with similar educational backgrounds (Reeves 227-228). Most Americans depend on dating activities to find their life partners. They will date about one to before selecting the partner to settle down within marriage (Hamon and Ingoldsby 10). Americans value people who are physically attractive and hence they make themselves attractive to compete better. This may lead to people putting on false images. For example, men may exaggerate their sincerity and commitment and in
self-esteem is often considered an important part of personality and individuality. The self-actualizing process, with its creative transformations, not uncommonly leads to a moment of peak experiencing, experiencing that in a powerful, time-free moment reveals life’s unitary substrata, the ocean of the individual waves. These transformative experiences transpose one’s ethical consciousness accordingly. self-esteem can be increased with the help of motivation, effective communication with colleagues and friends, and ethical behavior. Researchers admit that persons are compassionately concerned with humanity and life as a whole. Yet they have a strong sense of themselves, their autonomy, and their special need for privacy. Berger;s ideas (2010) — proposing a motivational ground beyond deficiency and a new understanding of psychological health — served to spark self-esteem and to give a new value centering to educational psychology. McKey and Fanning (2000)admit that such terms as “consciousness,” which for years under behaviorism had been ruled out of order, plays a crucial role in increasing self-esteem. The concept of self-esteem offers conceptual support for the emergence of many forms of cognitive behaviors. In general, personal needs and values involve achievements and personal improvement, a desire to prove professional skills and knowledge. The willingness of members of a community to contribute their services toward achieving the group’s purpose is another element which research has shown to be important to the work that has to be accomplished. Positive thinking should support dialogue and activities in a wide range of areas. While building self-esteem, beyond this establishment of special ends (happiness, self-actualization, and so on), which we have called fulfillment, the path of fulfillment is itself existential. That is, one’s self, one’s understanding, and one’s sense of ethics are all transformed in this process. McKey and Fanning (2000) bring into the fulfillment debate virtually all contemporary psychology insights (creativity, developmental, physiological, and so on). As to the spiritual, other “esoteric” traditions took up the issues we now consider spiritual and even mystical. Indeed, An individual following an spiritual path comes to recognize more than one’s own interest in others’ interests, indeed comes to actually see one as other. This is part of a consciousness process in which one goes beyond what comes to be recognized as the illusion of separate selfhood. As regards the values-ethics crisis and the unique contribution Maslow could make, on the one hand, The whole range of human need and value states and does so from vantage points that include the bio-physiological, sociological, anthropological, and, of course, psychological as well as spiritual. Moreover, having deco
Background A powerful storm Amphan destroyed the city in India and Bangladesh, taking the life of 84 people. The main blow of the storm fell on coastal areas with strong wind and rain. Thousands of trees were hardened, driven power lines, and destroyed at home. In the Indian city of Calcutta, most roads were underwater, and 14 million people were without electricity. The storm was the first supercyclone that formed in Bengal Bay in 1999 (BBC News Staff, 2020). Despite the fact that the strength of the storm weakened by the time of impact, it was classified as a very strong cyclone. The first strike of the storm fell on Sundarban, the largest mango forest on Earth, which is on the border between India and Bangladesh. About 4 million people live in the region (BBC News Staff, 2020). Then the storm headed to the north and northeast in the direction of Calcutta. Environmental Health Issues in Cyclones The most devastating effect tropical cyclone brings in coastal zones, lowlands, mouths, and river delta. The zone of flooding of the sea coast reaches tens of kilometers. This is due to the loss of a large amount of precipitation, as well as the release of rivers from the shores in the lower reaches and the merging of the zones of the river and sea floods. Cyclones arising in tropical latitudes have to speed up to 64 nodes (74 miles per hour) and are able to cause destructive winds, abundant precipitation, and floods, which can end with huge damage to the infrastructure of human settlements, private property, and human victims. Cyclone on the strength of environmental impact is not inferior to earthquakes: the buildings, masts of power lines and communication, transport highways are broken and turned with the roots of trees, maritime ships, and road transport (Ali et al., 2019). Timely alerts about cyclones from weather forecasters may not do. The lack of a storm warning leads to colossal material damage, human victims, and sometimes to significant humanitarian crises. To effectively resolve the crisis situations, coordination and concentration of resources are necessary, which will provide the provision of timely and relevant assistance to countries in need and people (Ali et al., 2019). The destructive power of cyclones lies primarily in the colossal wind speed, which affects the land and causes rough seas. The destructive effect of cyclones is associated with the turbulent, vortex movement of air particles. Destruction during cyclones is associated with low pressure in the center of the eye. The related crucial environmental health issues that are to be dealt with are destroyed buildings, a substantial amount of pollution, a plethora of injured persons, disrupted properties, societal chaos, surface damage, and the possibility of floods (Ali et al., 2019). Environmental Health Management of Public Health Issues During Amphan in India, 2020 Cyclone Disaster Management Overview Given the diversified impact of cyclones, the institutional framework is to be advanced and coherent, as well as to ready to address various issues and conduct an appropriate risk assessment
The Hippocratic Oath, created in the fifth century B.C., is among history’s earliest writings. Although the authors meant it to be a formal commitment, modern doctors consider it as a vow to protect the art of medicine and work in the best interest of the patient. Throughout generations, the medical industry has amended the vow to reflect changes in healthcare and the community. One of the variants of the oath was written by Dr. Louis Lasagna in 1948. The most drastic difference between the original oath and the modern version is addressing the oath. The traditional version of the oath, for instance, is sworn by Apollo and other Greek gods of medicine ( Various physician’s oaths , n.d.). Today’s variants of the oath are sworn by anything sacred, or they start merely with a vow to preserve medical ideals. Moreover, Dr. Louis Lasagna stresses one vital moment “I will not be ashamed to say “I know not” ( Various physicians oaths , n.d.). In my opinion, it is crucial to understand that nobody can know everything, but there is always an opportunity for improvement. Additionally, in the original oath, a doctor is seen as a body carrying out its duties. They also swear to keep themselves away from the “seduction” of their patients, “be they free or slaves,” which seems inappropriate ( Various physicians oaths , n.d.). Contrary to this oath, in the modern version, a doctor is seen as “a member of society” who, in turn, not only performs their duties but respects their patients ( Various physicians’ oaths , n.d.). Hence, the Oath of Hippocrates does consider the interests of the patient, but it is accustomed to the realia of that time. In comparison, the oath by Dr. Louis Lasagna reflects my ideals and values more. I put the patient’s interests first and believe that it is necessary to remain humane and respectful while performing my duties. Moreover, I also see the part of not being ashamed of personal unfamiliarity as vital since it can always give impetus to learning something new.
Introduction Zadie Smith’s novels describing the challenges of the contemporary multicultural and especially interracial dialogue are a rather refreshing change in the contemporary literature landscape (Nkwetisama and Fai 12). By incorporating elements of humor into her work, she manages to create stories that appeal to readers on an emotional level, thus, helping them build an immediate connection with lead characters. The resulting engagement with the lives of her characters makes readers experience the trials and tribulations that Zadie Smiths’ characters have. The emotional journey on which Smith’s novels take readers to challenge the contemporary cultural issues by reducing the gap between representatives of different cultures and making the opportunity for understanding and, therefore, a peaceful dialogue, a possibility. Zadie Smith is a renowned British writer. She is known mainly for her novels, such as White Teeth , and her articles that scrutinize the nature of the social psyche, such as Generation Why . However, Smith’s novels also dive deep into the waters of social and intercultural relationships, which are becoming increasingly common in the modern diverse society. Therefore, Smith’s stories can be viewed as an attempt to study the associated issues through the prism of comedy, thus, developing an impartial attitude to them and locating the ways of resolving the specified concerns. The focus on comedy, which can be viewed as one of the essential characteristics of her writing, can be considered a coping mechanism that allows her to explore the depth of sociocultural issues. Humor in Writing Style The style in which Zadie Smith writes serves as a shorthand to introduce the reader to a situation that can be regarded as ethically or socially problematic and approached from the perspective of Zadie Smith’s sense of humor. When considering the characteristics that make Zadie Smith stand out as a writer, one must mention the inimitable writing style that sets her aside from the rest of contemporary novelists. A combination of realistic setting and characters and a humorous approach toward describing the situations in which her characters were defined by James Wood as “hysterical realism” (Zalewski). Remarkably, the specified epithet was not given to her body of work as an exclusive endeavor at pointing out its strengths; quite the contrary, Wood targeted the weaknesses of Smith’s creations. According to critics, After Wood skewered Zadie Smith’s first novel, ”White Teeth,” as a prime example of hysterical realism, she publicly admitted that Wood had introduced a ”painfully accurate term for the sort of overblown, manic prose to be found in novels like my own.” (Zalewski) Nevertheless, it was the overly exaggerated style, which made the comic elements of described situations completely out of proportion, that warranted Zadie Smith’s fame and recognition. Her readers related to the comedic scenarios described in White Teeth , as well as in Generation Why , thus, developing appreciation to the author for her ability to address complex social issues from a humorous perspe
Introduction The Concrete Masonry Corporation is a company specialising in manufacturing and designing for the building industry. To manage in the highly competitive environment the organisation work in, it has decided to transfer several machines to a new manufacturing site located in Eastern Europe. The project manager responsible for the transfer is Kevin Lewis. This report aims at addressing the issues Lewis should address from the project management perspective. It presents the activities he and his team should complete to implement the initiative successfully. The paper addresses the project life cycle, project scope statement, project priorities, work breakdown structure, and cost estimation specifically, noting the significance of these tasks. The report also offers charts helping to visualise the presented information. The paper concludes by stating the actions Lewis and his team should take to ensure that the project is successful. Project Life Cycle The activities Lewis should complete to implement the new initiative should be based on a project life cycle. This concept can be defined as the set of phases a project passes through from its start to its closure (Project Management Institute, 2013). Notably, the stages of the project life cycle are sequential; they can be divided based on the objectives a responsible team has, results it wants to achieve, milestones, or economic factors. It is vital to add that the project life cycle does not depend on the life cycle of the product produced (Project Management Institute, 2013). Typically, all phases of the project life cycle are time-bounded, which will also be considered in the design of Lewis’ activities. Normally, the project life cycle has several phases that should be noted; the following generic structure can be applied to the majority of projects. The first stage is the start of the project, followed by the phase of
Nursing is a continuously evolving discipline, which changed its position from an occupation to a profession in the twentieth century. When thinking about nursing, one can imagine many different activities and ideas – all of them can pertain to this discipline equally. For example, for some people, nursing is the direct act of caring about people’s health through physical examination, diagnosis, or procedures. For others, however, nursing is a science field in which academics conduct research to improve population health. Thus, it is vital to accept nursing as a multidimensional discipline that takes knowledge from a variety of sciences of health and society. As a profession, nursing can be regarded as mostly practical, especially if the nurse works in a clinic and cares for patients. In this way, the academic discipline of nursing also includes the process of teaching future nurses the necessary skills to provide healthcare services. Nevertheless, many scholars also add the ideas of nursing leadership, management, and science into the discipline’s view (McEwen & Wills, 2019). Finally, if one considers nursing as a science, the practice, while not disappearing, gives way to theory development and more prominent and more abstract questions. Science and healthcare are inherently united in their use of the scientific method and the aim of discovery and evidence-seeking. Nursing, therefore, is also supported by science – evidence-based practice is one of the main pillars of this profession. However, questions such as what science is or how a scientific method can be reliable and applicable are also essential. This exploration into the deeper meaning behind science is termed the philosophy of science (Gray et al., 2017). In my opinion, this
Introduction Ballet is a performance dance that started in the Italian rebirth of crown courts. In fact, ballet that later urbanized to performance dance in Russia and France originated back in the fifteenth century. Based on the French expressions, ballet has transformed into an extremely nominal kind of dance that has spread out with its unique language (Darius 4). Moreover, ballet has impacted in the worldwide genres of dance and defines the basic techniques employed in diverse dances. In order to master, study, and uphold the ballet dance aptitude, one is must train for years and hold onto practicing (Lee 24). The dance has been trained in ballet school of the arts all over the globe with different artists archaeologically employing different philosophies to develop their talent. Conversely, Ballet might also denote work dance that comprises of music and choreography meant for a dance invention. A number of examples of ballet dance are choreographed by different artists with inclusion of dissimilar score of music. The trained artists perform and choreograph the works of ballet dances. Several classical ballet dance workings come along with classic music (Kant 42). The ballet dance engages convoluted staging and costumes with merely little exceptions based on different artists. Therefore, this research examines the Royal Ballet event, class, rehearsal, demonstration, and presentation as reviewed in dancing. The Royal Ballet The Royal Ballet presentation occurred in Covent Garden for the theater arts on Friday 23 rd March, 2012. The performance occurred with live streaming in real time, unedited, and online during the whole work day. The event was staged by the house of Royal Oprah with mysterious, exciting, and arduous ballet dance broadcast to the audience. A video recording of the fascinating artists took place behind the scenes. Indeed, an enormous audience that attended the extravagant scene was attracted by the tears, sweat, and blood that portrayed the ballet life of English nation. The performance took to the fresh level the impression of fly-on-the-wall (Mackrell par.1). The event held in slots throughout the day featured different programs contained in the ballet dance components. The form of dancing performed during the show comprised of the current ballet dance elements. Different dancers and artist appeared in the r
The King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (K.F.U.P.M.) and Stanford University are worlds apart. This can be said literally and figuratively. This is because the two universities are located in different parts of the world, on two different continents. The former is in the Middle East while the latter is in America. Aside from the location, the other major difference concerns cultural diversity within both universities. It will be explained later in detail that the cultural diversity in terms of the number of foreign students enrolled as well as the different types of courses offered in each university greatly affect the quality of education in both universities. Thus, the administrators of King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals tried to establish cultural diversity. Yet when course offerings, the number of foreign students, and the type of services available to students were compared to those found at Stanford University it was discovered that K.F.U.P.M. has still a long way to go before it can experience the same level of cultural diversity found in Stanford. Importance of Cultural Diversity Cultural diversity begins in the development of the program. Each university must be committed to encouraging diversity in the campus by first providing resources that will lead to the establishment of an academic program as well as in attracting foreign staff, faculty, and students to the university. Cultural diversity will impact the following aspect of university life:   * Learning Environment;   * Extracurricular Activities;   * International Faculty and Staff; and the   * Courses that will be offered in the said university. Quality of Education There is no clear-cut definition of what comprises quality higher education. Still, there have to be some standards that exist in guiding administrators and regulators whose main task is to monitor the performance of colleges and universities. Parents and students will also demand some kind of a mechanism to determine what university will provide a good return of investment. Some of the widely accepted standards are as follows:  1. The percentage of graduates able to hurdle licensure exams e.g. civil engineering and medical licensure exams etc.;  2. The existence of a program that will ensure that graduates will readily make an impact in their chosen field;  3. The existence of a program that will help students contribute to the sciences and the arts. The following will help deepen the understanding of what is exactly the meaning of quality education. Quacquarelli Symonds or QS is an education organization that sets standards for global higher education. It comes as no surprise that QS works with multinationals and global recruiters such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, AT Kearney, Bain, Eli Lily, GE, Shell, and McKinsey. This simply means that QS helps these companies to hire the best and with their connections with top universities it is easy for them to network with educational institutions and employers to facilitate hiring the most competent individuals suited for the job. Quacquarelli Symonds is also the producer of the world renowned QS University Rankings making them
