Introduction Electronic mail, popularly referred to as email, is a means of swapping over digital communications from a creator to one or additional addressees. Contemporary electronic mail functions across the World Wide Web or other computer set-ups. A number of the initial electronic mail set-ups needed that the author and the addressee both be available over the internet at the same time. Present day electronic mail set ups are founded on a store-and-forward form. Electronic mail servers allow, forward, convey and store communication (Email, Internet, 2009). The users and their computers have no need of being over the internet at the same time. They just could do with linking only for a short time, normally to an electronic mail server, for the period of time it requires to mail or receive communication. An electronic mail message contains three elements, the communication wrapper , the message title, and the message body. The email’s title consists of control data, consisting, austerely, a sender’s electronic mail address and one or more addressee addresses. Normally expressive data is as well included, such as a theme title and a message passing on date/time. Electronic mail in business communication Electronic mail was far and wide acknowledged by the business fraternity as the initial wide-ranging electronic communication means and was the original electronic revolution in business communication. Electronic mail is exceptionally straightforward to comprehend and in the vein of postal mail, electronic mail gets to the bottom of two fundamental predicaments of communication. These are logistics and synchronization. Businesses and other enterprises are really benefitting from LAN supported electronic mail. It has advantages like letting the business user(s) to transfer mail when unavailable on the internet and offering small enterprise user(s) to have several users’ electronic mail identifications with just a single electronic mail link. Pros of electronic mail The foremost is the hitch of logistics. A great deal of the business world depends upon communications between persons who are not actually in the same building, region or even nation; tacking together and gracing with one’s presence an in-person gathering, telephone conversation, or discussion call can be difficult, time-wasting, and costly. Electronic maul offers a means to swap over information between two or additional persons with no set-up expenses and that is by and large far not as much of costly as physical gatherings or telephone calls. The other is the predicament of synchronization. With real time communication through assemblies or telephone calls, partakers have to work on a similar program, and every partaker has to take a similar amount of time in the assembly or call (About The World Wide Web, 2010). Electronic mail takes into account asynchrony, meaning that every partaker may be in command of their program autonomously. The cons of electronic mail A good number of business employees in the present day use up from one to two hours of their working day on electronic mail. Activities they

In the world of politics, political campaigns are common strategies used to win voters in an election. These are strategies that influence the decision-making of a targeted voter. In the campaigns, there are statements used to characterize a politician and his manifesto well crafted, in order to gain popularity among the voters. A campaign team is chosen to carry out vigorous campaigns to all the areas of interest and more often they represent the politician as viable for the position. These campaigns are put across the media, in rallies, meetings, face-to-face events, leaflets, and websites to reach the voters. These events require lots of money and the politician has to arrange for how he/she can raise funds and find sponsors in his campaign. They will be in constant travels to various parts of the nation and so the campaign team chosen should be able to represent him well and cause conviction on the voters. Political consultants may be used as they are able to execute sophisticated mechanisms to carry out the campaign which sells the politician to a majority of voters. The campaigners leave their workplace and opt to devote themselves to campaign teams in support of any politician, giving advice and alternative strategy that can be used to gain support from voters. (Karen et al 1997) Money, time, and other resources are used as those vying for seats continue to reach the potential voters. Normally, a politician knows so few people that if he has to reach the big number of the population, really, he/she should have a way of convincing them of his/her ability, potential, and power in initiating and implementing change in the life of people and their country. At the end of the day, the voter has the decision to vote for or against a politician. Therefore, political campaigns have to use persuasive tactics in order to win majority voters. Through campaigns, attitudes can be changed and opinions created in carefully executed campaigns where communication plays a great role in enhancing this. Image has continued to play a role in politics, especially where the physical attractiveness, health, and athletic look have been used to determine a politician. Persuasion in communication has encompassed face-to-face interactions to mass communication campaigns. (Kuklinski 2002) (Karen et al 1997) Politicians use pro-social
Conflicts are unavoidable. No matter how high the quality of services in a specific company might be, there will always be people who will find some faults; likewise, a company cannot maintain a constantly perfect performance level – once, in a while, there will necessarily be a problem to deal with. Therefore, conflicts are bound to appear. However, there is a huge difference between solving a problem in a peaceful atmosphere and dealing with an issue while an angry customer is burning with indignation and revenge. To handle the so-called “angry customer” and remain calm and composed, one has to use the appropriate behavioral tactics; otherwise, the support employee is going to have a nervous breakdown. Solving such conflicts starts with specifying the goals of the customer. According to what Wrench (2013) says, the goal that every customer pursues in his argument is to make sure that (s)he is heard. To be more exact, Wrench says that “angry customers need to be acknowledged and reassured that they are heard and will be attended to” (Wrench, 2013, n. p.). Researches say that the first step in all strategies of handling angry customers is specifying what kind of person the support is dealing with and, therefore, realizing how far the client is going to push the conflict. The key difficulty is, therefore, to find out what type of customer the support is dealing with and, thus, to choose the appropriate strategy to calm him/her down. Therefore, five major strategies in conflict solving can be defied. Asking questions By specifying the details of the problem, the support staff shows that the customer’s demands are understood and that the issue is being investigated (Godwin, 2008). Thus, the customer becomes ready for a constructive talk. However, the questions must refer strictly to the problem, e.g.: Wrong                                        Correct                                                 Customer: “My Internet connection is down.”  Customer: “My Internet connection is down.”             Support: “What computer brand do you use?”   Support: “Did you try pinging the Internet connection?”  Being supportive A customer wants to see the support is concerned with his/her problems. Therefore, talking to the client in a this-is-another-person-with-a-typical-problem manner shows the lack of support’s competence (Cloke & Goldsmith, 2011). By being supportive, an employee makes the customer feel special, which comforts the latter and leads to a productive conversation. Summarizing Reiterating what the client says makes him/her feel that his pledge has been heard. As a result, the customer calms down and is ready to discuss the problem in a much more comfortable atmosphere (Pynchon, 2012). Giving feedback By updating the client on the progress, the support makes it clear that the problem is being dealt with. As a result, the customer turns more patient (Evenson, 2007). Being neutral Inexperienced support staff often resorts to using their sense of humor. However, a client typically wants to be taken seriously with his problem. Therefore, most innocent jokes are taken with either irritation or indignation (Demkin, 200
Introduction I have been practicing nursing for eight months in a psychiatric and substance abuse unit. I am highly passionate and socially skilled in the nursing profession. My interest is to provide quality care and educate the community about various social, environmental, behavioral, and health determinants that influence substance abuse and addiction. Therefore, health needs assessment for a given population facilitates the planning process, as per the identified needs and the distribution of relevant health and care services. About the Hispania in Mesa, Arizona The selected vulnerable population in this paper is the Hispania living in Lawrence, in Massachusetts County. The unemployment issue has increased the persistence of poverty in Lawrence, leaving vulnerable communities at risk of substance abuse such as alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin ( Drug & Alcohol Detox in Lawrence, MA: Rehab treatment centers) . Hence, social-economic challenges cause low self-esteem, stress-life experiences, and existing emotional issues that influence people to abuse drugs. Health Needs The Hispania population needs support such as nutritious food and the security of stable homes to combat issues of poverty. The other essential need is healthy relationships; hence, healthcare providers should educate the community about social relationships with the freedom to express gender and live a toxic stress-free life. The population needs critical, and routine healthcare accessibility means to enhance and maintain the health and safety of the public. The local authority and managers should offer job opportunities to the people of Lawrence to reduce poverty-related problems which lead to substance abuse. Conclusion Challenges associated with inadequate healthcare access to primary care affect the safety and well-being of the Hispania people in general. Health education programs and easy access to health care can reduce substance use and addiction risks. Provision of employment, basic needs, public transportation, and emotional support will help Lawrence’s vulnerable population gain self-confidence and value self-worthiness.

Introduction In his article ““The Falafel Index: A Way to Assess Purchasing Power in the Middle East”, Adam Heffez proposes a new method to assess purchasing power parity (PPP) of different currencies of the Middle East. The publication is well-written, well-structured, provides clear explanations of the given concepts and could serve as a good example of a magazine article. Summary This paper is an analysis of an article labeled “The Falafel Index: A Way to Assess Purchasing Power in the Middle East” by Adam Heffez, where a new method of economical evaluation is introduced. In the paper, Heffez’s ideas, the way they are developed and supported are assessed. A linguistic analysis of the article, which evaluates the organization of the article, rhetorical appeals, the word choice, etc., is provided. Analysis General Information about the Article’s Subject. The article introduces Falafel Index (FI), a method for evaluating PPP of the countries of Middle East. The method is an analogy to the Big Mac Index (BMI) devised by The Economist (“Interactive Currency-Comparison Tool”, par. 1) and used by the magazine to evaluate PPP worldwide. Although BMI method is estimated by Clements as “not perfect”, but one that “seems to provide good value for money” (p. 55), Heffez argues that BMI is not suitable for Middle East, as the Big Mac sandwich is not affordable for a large part of the local population, and proposes to use the price of a falafel sandwich instead of the price of Big Mac to assess PPP of currencies of the local countries; hence the FI (par. 2-4). How Reasonable Is the Choice of Falafel Index? The choice of falafel sandwich prices to assess PPP for Middle East currencies seems reasonable. Wilson, for instance, argues that FI is a good local substitute for BMI. In particular, he asserts that FI allows Heffez to arrive to two interesting inferences related to the value of some of the local currencies; namely, that the Quatari and Saudi currencies are currently undervalued, while Israeli currency is severely overvalued (Wilson par. 11-13). Wilson concludes that FI “could prove a handy barometer in the future” (par. 15). Esser points out that “the main reason this index is not just another clever gimmick, is because falafel is edible” (par. 7), for food prices (and not e.g. gold prices) are of crucial importance in the region; they were, for instance, one of the main concerns during the Arab Spring (Esser, par. 8, 13). So, it would be possible to use other methods of evaluating PPP, but it seems that the article’s main purpose is to introduce FI, and not to provide a detailed assessment of PPP. From this point of view, the absence of usage of other methods is justified. Of course, a comparison between the results of FI and results of other methods of PPP evaluation would make the article more complete, but the text would also be harder to comprehend for the intended audience. Evaluation of the Article’s Balance and Visuals. The article appears to be well-balanced, for it contains no groundless or biased statements. Heffez relies mainly on logical arguments and explanations, and endeavors to illustrat
There is no use denying the fact that history of any country and the world is comprised of a great number of various events, triggered by the activity of leaders, who are able to inspire people, make them believe in a certain idea and follow them. These personalities change the image of the world forever and lead to the appearance of some unique phenomena which predetermine the further development of society and the whole world. These personalities contribute to the development of social thought and mentality. They are also known by people all over the world due to their unique achievements or ambivalent character. Julius Caesar is known as the founder of the Roman Empire. Charles the Great are the great Emperor of the Middle Ages and there are a great number of other famous names that changed our world. Napoleon Bonaparte is among them. He became the hero of the French Revolution, a person who was excepted to change the image of France providing liberation and equality for its citizens. Thus, having plunged France into the chain of wars, Napoleon turned into the tyrant, which contradicted to the ideas of revolution. However, he still dreamed of equality and prosperity of France, trying to protect it and guarantee its leading role in the world policy in order to use its influence and spread the ideas of revolution. Trying to support this statement with the clear evidence, it is necessary to analyze the background of the rise of Napoleon and conditions under which he obtained power. The thing is that before the events of the French Revolution Napoleon was an unimportant and even forgotten military who, though, had some blistering victories and great ambitions. However, the mood of the end of XVIII and beginning of XIX centuries influenced him greatly and he became the great admirer of the French Revolution. Very soon he became one of the most genuine French generals who brought a great number of victories. However, ideas of revolution and processes that took place in France were taken as dangerous by other monarchies and they tried to revive the monarchy. That is why, Napoleon had to protect the new republic. This period of his life can be taken as the time when his vision of the future of France was formed. France was a colonial empire and Napoleon fought in Egypt, surrounded by sick with plague soldiers, having no fear to become ill. Since that time, he was beloved by all people who surrounded him. This fact became very important for his further career. Having a great power concentrated in his arms, Napoleon, though, did not use it to become the only governor of France until the Coup of 18 Brumaire. There are various points of view on this event and the role that Napoleon played in it. The fact is that he returned to France and, using his power, managed to put to the end this rebellion, promoting creation of the constitution. Under the Na
Buddhism is a non-theistic religion because it does not uphold the belief of a supernatural being, God, as the one who brought all things in to existence. Buddha was a person who had great power of meditation, which he used to bring spiritual knowledge and beliefs to his followers. This acts as the foundation for Buddhism. According to Buddhism, salvation is the state of ‘being’ of a person obtained through the cleansing of one’s being by meditation. Its characteristics are freedom from all forms of defilements and delusion. In Kapleau reading, feelings, thoughts, and sensations change over time. The writer points out that everyone experiences pain, unfulfilled desires, mental anguish, as well as moments of happiness and unhappiness. These changes occur depending on the experiences that one is undergoing. The narrator likens this to the way one candle lights another one; one moment’s characteristics heralds another moment’s identity and the chain continues. The writer also points out that nothing is permanent because things are constantly changing. Satori is the goal of Zen practice; that is, enlightenment. It aims to preserve Buddha’s teachings. In the beginning of the diaries, Kapleau initially experienced his desire for satori through his recognition of his desire to end some natural phenomenon as sorrow, pain, misery, grief, old age, and death. Through embracing of Zen Buddhism, his understanding about these natural phenomenons changed. In the reading, he accepts that he should not fight to bring such forms of suffering to extinction. His meditating experience helped to alter the way he understood it. Meditation involves opening one’s mind to the truth. He asserts that when one opens his mind to the truth there is nothing to fear. Roshi is a term that refers to the person who passes spiritual knowledge to Buddhists. He has good mastery of Zen Buddhism practices hence acts as a teacher to the rest. Kapleau’s relationship with the various roshis with whom they have student- teacher
Introduction Human beings have understood how to use various natural resources for economic growth and development. Natural resources play a significant role in promoting the welfare of many communities and countries. Throughout the Early Modern Period (1453-1789), many countries in Europe were engaged in numerous activities aimed at strengthening their respective economies (King, 2008). This period took place from the year 1453 to 1789. During this period, natural resources were used to support most of these economic activities. From the 15 th century, global society has used different resources to pursue a wide range of economic activities and goals (Chakravarty, Ghosh, Suresh, Dey, & Shukla, 2012). Today, how some natural resources are exploited is something that has led to numerous challenges. The current rate of global population explosion continues to impact natural resources such as forests negatively. This practice has led to the depletion of various resources and natural resources. This research paper will explore several issues such as the historical destruction of forests in different parts of the world. The study will also analyze the effects of deforestation on different regions across the globe. Although some societies have managed to achieve their economic potentials, the rate at which natural forests have been exploited is a major challenge that must be reexamined from an ethical perspective. This calls for new strategies to safeguard the integrity of every surviving forest in the world today. Over-Exploitation of Forests Historical Background: 15 th to 19 th Century The history of colonialism gives a comprehensive image of deforestation in different parts of the world. Throughout the 16 th and 17 th centuries, many European powers were engaged in different voyages across the globe (Lemon, 2012). Such missions were undertaken in an attempt to get raw materials for their respective industries. During this period, ships were widely used for transportation. The number of ships in different seas grew significantly throughout this period. However, historians have argued that most of the ships used during this time encountered numerous challenges. The demand for better, superior, and long-lasting ships was on the rise (Killingray, Lincoln, & Rigby, 2014). Most of the ships could
