Specific Hypothesis: This paper will explore the claim that additional investment and development of a comprehensive educational reform by the US government will help young Americans pursue the American Dream and achieve high results in their socialization through obtaining education and, as a result, good jobs. Applicable Sociological Concepts Social Learning Theory Socialization is one of the most important processes in the life of an individual and many factors affect this process (Macionis, 2010). Education is one of the most potent factors in the process of an individual’s socialization as young people learn more about societal norms and patterns and obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to become a part of this society. Rational Choice Theory Financial component of socialization. Money has always shaped people’s behaviors and financial component plays an important role in the process of education. Two impacts money has on education. On the one hand, lots of people strive for higher education to have more job opportunities in future, and, on the other hand, some do not have enough money to get education. Practical Implications Implications for public policy Reasons for the change in the educational system. Honda (2011, p. 3) stresses that education should be equitable and accessible; otherwise, “the foundation of our democratic society is compromised”. Possible outcomes for the society. These are higher quality of education and more opportunities for young people in the job market as well as in the society. Implications for employers Ability to change in the rapidly changing business environment. More educated young professionals are likely to help employers develop their businesses as young professionals are more flexible and ready for change which is essential for any company (Applebaum et al., 2014). More competitive labor market. Labor force will become more competitive as younger professionals will become a good competition for older employees who often lack enthusiasm and motivation. Tax payers Financial Aid High rates of unemployment among young people lead to additional burden on tax payers. There is financial aid to unemployed young people. Crime Unemployment is also associated with higher rates of crime and, as a result, higher expenditure on detention and maintenance of prisons. Financing educational system Financial aid Numerous educational programs involving financial aid to less well-off young people have resulted in higher rates of employment and involvement in volunteering which means that many young people are eager to obtain higher education. The Earned Income Tax Credit This is one of the most effective anti-poverty incentives as it has helped decrease unemployment rate (Applebaum et al., 2014). The American
Introduction With reference to politice, the terms power and authority are usually used interchangeably. But, the fact remains that the terms are completely different and their meanings and context are different as well. As can be defined, “while “power” refers to the ability to achieve certain ends, “authority” refers to the legitimacy, justification and right to exercise that power. For example, whilst a mob has the power to punish a criminal, such as through lynching, only the courts have the authority to order capital punishment. The phenomena called authority is at once more ancient and more fundamental than the phenomena called state; the natural ascendancy of some men over others is the principle of all human organizations and all human advances” (Authority, 2007). Power and Authority Having power means being capable of getting things done by others. The basic charateristic of punish and reward. Power does not need authority to exist on its own. For example, an armed robber has power but he does not have authority. On the other hand, authority is the power to enforce law and take command, and to expect obedience from those without authority (What is the difference between power and authority, 2003). Authority does not in any means require power to exist. It can exist both with and without it. For example, the teacher of a classroom has authority over the students that she teaches, but that does not give her any power over them. It is believed that three dimensions of power exist namely: decision making, non decision making and manipulating desires. When a laq is being passed in the parliament, and is under discussion between the MP’s along with any other form of political group, there has to be a particular body that has the power to execute power on others in order to reach a decision. A number of differences exist between authority and power. First of al lthe most significant difference between the two is that of the nature of the terms and the differences that exist between the types of each concept. The first of these differences being the nature of the concepts of power and authority, the second, the sources from which each derives the power/authority, and finally, the many types of each concept. As is said, “Power is comprised of a relationship between two or more people. The political scientist Robert Dahl (1957:202), encapsulates this important relational focus in his definition of power: ‘ A has power over B to the extent that he can get B to do something B would not otherwise do. A person or group cannot have power in isolation. Power has to be exercised or deployed, or has the potential of being deployed in relation to some other person or group. Power is similar to a currency exchange. It is meaningless unless linked or compared as an exchange commodity. Power is never linked to price, but always to value. ‘ ’” (Potgieter, 2000). Power means having the capability to transform the conduct of another person in a way whic
Recycling allows people turn waste materials into something new and useful. In such way, we gain the opportunity not only to save our environment but also to reduce utilizing of raw materials. Car recycling is also dedicated to these purposes. More than 70 percent less energy is used to recycle metal instead of making new (Grabianowski par. 3). This issue is crucial for the UAE, as the new approach is likely to enhance the income of the country and make it more independent. Recycled metals are much cheaper and can be mixed with new steel. That is why today a car consists of many details that can be processed. There are several techniques and digital tools that help to select materials for products. The methods proposed by Ashby and the CES sector are among them. The work that was written by Ashby and Cebon deals with the CES EduPack and describes “a design-led procedure for the teaching of materials and processes” on its basis (1). It is explained that the CES EduPack is of a great advantage as it includes texts and software tools that are to help in teaching, as they describe the properties of materials and processes. Everything is focused on the systematic method of selecting materials. All the things that engineers produce are made from materials. Needless to say that these materials are to be chosen correctly so that no problems occur during the creation of a product and its exploitation. That is why it is important to remember that the materials are to be of “low density, high strength, modest cost and resistant to sea water”, for example (Ashby and Cebon 1). So as the design is chosen, one is to make sure that the materials selected for the product perfectly meet all requirements. To streamline the process a person can refer to the many of engineering materials, which includes the basic families that can be combined to create hybrids. In order to deepen into the subject, the hierarchical structure for material classification should be used. It allows to find out not only the family of the material but also more detailed information such as its class and a range of all attributes, which is called a property profile of the material. The same structuring can be applied to the manufacturing process. So referring to the structures, one can find the best match to meet the requirements of the design. Thus, the selection of the materials is to go through several steps:   * An engineer is to consider all materials and find out which materials can be used according to the design requirements;   * The materials’ attributes fail to meet at least
Role of Physical Therapist This report proposes a long-term health management plan for Sgt. Jason Pepper with whom I have been providing physical therapy since 2008. I am professionally qualified to do so since I have a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the College of Health Sciences (Department of Physical Therapy), Tennessee State University. The course is accredited by the Commission for Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). The organization is the sole accreditation agency in the United States with regard to education in Physical Therapy. In general physical therapy aims at positively improving “individual’s overall health, wellness, and fitness by providing services that positively impact physical fitness.” (Physical fitness for special populations: Overview, 2008). Managing and improving the overall health and fitness of a person like Sgt. Jason Pepper is very different from the usual cases that I handle. This will evident from the short background of thirty something war veteran given later in this report. But, it is in assisting cases like this that gives me the maximum of professional work satisfaction. There is something special in assisting those who were willing to defend the sovereignty of the USA as a part of our armed forces. Common war injuries in Iraq: The most common war injury in Iraq is TBI or Traumatic Brain Injury which is usually accompanied by Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. (Brain injury and the Iraq War). Patient Background The earlier section mentioned probable war injuries when on active duty in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. Sgt. Pepper was injured by an improvised explosive device while on active duty in Iraq. He suffered TBI and suffers from PTSD. The explosion “blinded him, damaged h
Clinical symptoms of acne According to Holmes (2002, p. 45), acne is not just pimples as many people claim. It is more than pimples because many of the people affected portray some blemishes which include Nodules, Papules, Whiteheads, Pustule, Cysts and Blackheads. Acne majorly appears on the face but it can appear in other parts of the body such as the chest, neck region, shoulders and many other parts. Some of the clinical symptoms of Acne include Low self-esteem. Another common symptom of the disease is the appearance of dark spots and scars on the skin (Fulton 2001, p. 53). Some of the victims who get the acne nodules or cysts are left with permanent scars on the skin. Diagnosis, Treatment and Control Diagnosis of Acne varies from one dermatologist to another. Some use the Leeds Acne grading formula that categorizes the disease into inflammatory and non- inflammatory. Others use the Cook’s grading sale which gives the ranges of Acne from the least to the most severe (Fried 2005, p. 78). The topical medication involves the application the medication on the skin. Reducing the level of sugar intake, taking a lot of water to flush out the toxins, and avoiding excessive make-ups can help in controlling the disease (Al-Achi 2008, p. 32). Strategies that exist to prevent and control the infection To control this disease, there exists a variety of body oils and lotions that help in keeping the skin free from any bacterial infection. Some experts have recommended a collaborative approach through community sensitization on the disease as a way of controlling the spread.

Gender inequality in higher education has been persistent despite all the measures which were implemented to reduce it. In fact, it is a challenging issue across all workplace settings (Jayachandran, 2015; Thébaud, 2015). However, in higher education, it has been identified as a particularly troubling issue (Clauset, Arbesman, & Larremore, 2015; Duong, Wu, & Hoang, 2017). A prime example of gender inequality is the underrepresentation of women in educational leadership, and this problem is going to be considered here in detail. The goal of this study is to investigate the perspectives of current educational leaders, including administrators and faculty members, on gender inequality. The dissertation will seek to identify examples, challenges, and ultimately best practices to tackle this issue in higher education settings. The leaders’ accounts of the impact of institutional policies related to gender equality will also be considered. Educational leaders are likely to have expert opinions that are based on their experiences and familiarity with the efforts aimed at reducing gender inequality in their institutions, which warrants the inquiry. To investigate these topics, a qualitative approach will be used: the study will involve email interviews with educational leaders that will gather the relevant information and will be analyzed with the help of thematic analysis. The perspectives of both men and women will be introduced. Statement of the Problem Gender Inequality: Definition, History, Current Climate Gender inequality can be described as the unequal treatment of genders (Winslow & Davis, 2016). Historically, women used to be directly and legally discriminated based on their gender. For example, women did not have the right to vote in the US until 1920 when the corresponding amendment was made in the US Constitution (the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution of 1920). Later, other steps towards achieving legal equality were taken to protect the rights of the US women to work (the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and earn (the Equal Pay Act of 1963) (Beaumont, 2016; Evans, 2016). After the legal safeguards were instituted, additional measures to improve women’s employment were developed, including gender equality policies, education, affirmative action, and so on (Klein, 2016). However, it cannot be claimed that complete gender equality has been achieved. Indeed, while it is illegal to discriminate, research indicates that discrimination still occurs. For example, women are still underrepresented in positions of power (Beaumont, 2016; Clauset et al., 2015).
Introduction Several things have to be considered when doing the market feasibility study of a product. This essay broadly categorises these said factors into three groups: ethical, regulatory and financial aspects of market feasibility. Ethical Aspect of Market Feasibility Gender plays a big role in market feasibility. The target population has not been divided based on sex but rather, based on an individual’s interest in sports. As stated, the app will have several fractions such as an online store, merchandise, discounts on some items from partner stores, and events. Both male and female users will be able to shop for the favourite merchandise through the app and get similar discounts. On the same breath, the app is age inclusive. Indeed, children aged 14 and lower also watch and actively follow sports, especially if they play the same sports in school. Thus, the app will target sports lovers aged 12 through to 65. However, a challenge will arise on whether the younger target population (under 18 years old) will require parental consent to access the app. This can be a challenge due to both cultural and religious beliefs. The developer has to ensure that the marketing strategy clearly states that the app is also children friendly. It is also important to consider cultural and religious ethics as affected by the app. UAE is made up of 80% Muslims with a population of approximately 9 million. 28% of the 9 million are women. Due to cultural and religious limitations, many of the women might not have access to the app due to limitations of sporting among women in some cities. However, many cities in UAE have made strides to ensure gender equality and equity. Thus, one can argue that the future market potential is very large and positive. It is important to point out that all the ethical considerations mentioned can be resolved. Therefore, using the ethical aspect of market feasibility study, one can argue that the product will be successful in the market identified. Regulatory Aspect of Market Feasibility Just like in any other country, there are several regulations that guide how to conduct business in UAE. This regulatory aspect will analyse system developments and zoning restrictions that would affect the effective production and market uptake of SPORTEC Mobile App. As mentioned, the company will be registered as a sole proprietorship. This makes regulations easy as the sole owner will be a citizen of UAE. Regulations state that the proprietor does not have to contribute any money towards the starting capital and can have foreign investors. The developer will, however, need part of the initial capital before registration of the business as required by the Ministry of Commerce. This money is used as a guarantee in case of any liabilities, but can be accessed immediately after registration. A sole proprietorship is desired as it takes a relatively short time to register and set-up. Additionally, people trust locally-owned busin
Lately, there have been a lot of wars as the media as they fight for what they would like to call media freedom. However, when granted the long fought for freedom, there seems to be abuse of the same. A responsible media is very necessary not only for the economic development of a country but also an establishment of strong socio cultural relationships among diverse people groups. An unfortunate thing is that the media is not using this opportunity to develop the otherwise would be harmonious relationship between people of different gender, races, ethnicity and socio economic status. Seemingly the tactics used in their communication have been so poor since they tend to incline mind frames to bias. The media has not been responsible in its reporting. McPhail (2002) discusses the theory of dialogic coherence and this could be applied by the media in ensuring that the relationships between different groups of citizens are not strayed further. In this theory, communication is said to be a tool that can be used to effectively as a discursive strategic tool. In this, McPhail (2002) is of the opinion that differences can be minimized and the commonalities emphasized. In reporting for example the media can state that even in the difference that does exist between persons, God created them all for complimentary purposes. A commonality here is that God created all for a reason and they all need each other. The theory of incognizant racism on the other hand shows that the media report differentially on people of color as opposed to the whites and Hispanics. Blacks mostly appeared in accidents, whether events, and disasters before and after the Katrina disaster. The minority reporters on the other hand were not interested in reporting on issues of the dominant group. The unfortunate thing is that the media is working to aggravate the differences more than it is working to limit the differences that prevail. For example the photos that are taken and reported by the media are having a big impact on the various groups’ people involved. Most photos by the media are unfortunately showing Africa Americans as very excited people and this has an emotional impact on the African Americans watching the news. On the other hand the Asians are presented to be the very calm type (Oh & Katz, 2010). Of course not all the Africans are very excited neither are all the Asians very calm. However with this, the people groups find their live being affected by such reporting in the photographs. In passing out communication in the photos, the media should try limit on the extremes and bring out humanity as having more similarities than differences. This will help to improve harmonious coexiste
To avoid an attack performed by cybercriminals, the companies should pay close attention to how their security measures are functioning. This relates to both the human factor and technological implications. First of all, the company should outline a strict set of rules that would save employees for falling for a phishing scheme or fraudulent spam emails. This step is rather significant because unwarranted employee actions may lead to financial losses or disclosure of private information. Second, it is important to have all computers secured and protected by antivirus software. The local network administrator has to run recurrent check-ups to make sure that there are no viruses or any other malicious software on the employees’ computers. The problem with the existing phishing and spamming techniques is that the scammers come up with new ways to spread their malicious messages under the guise of emails from respected companies such as Google, Amazon, eBay, and others. One of the companies that were seriously impacted by such fraudulent activity was Snapchat. Owing to a mistake of an employee, the company disclosed a massive array of data to the scammers (including the names and phone numbers of several Snapchat workers and their payroll details). Nonetheless, the company came back hastily as its servers were not breached and none of the personal information of their users was accessed by the hackers. The key factor that helped Snapchat to overcome the dangers of phishing scams is the training policy that allowed them to save time and money by teaching employees to identify and report suspicious activity and files that are received by the company.
In the 21 st century, it is hard to imagine that there was a time when women were treated as inferior beings. However, the history of sex discrimination is long and rich, and not over yet. Many people believe that the one sure way to end it lies in the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution. Opponents of the ERA argue that it is redundant due to the already existing Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Nevertheless, the above-mentioned clause was not always perceived as referring to gender equality. Although it was successful in ensuring the rights of the former male slaves, women were still treated differently from men for a long time since the Amendment’s ratification. Epstein and Walk (2013) suggest that the primary role of women in the early 20 th century was that of a mother; thus, in the 1908 case of Muller v. Oregon, they were prohibited from working long hours in order to preserve their health, which was deemed “an object of public interest” (p. 652). The verdict was well-intended and served to “protect women in the workforce” (Epstein and Walk, 2013, p. 652), but nowadays is considered extremely condescending. The tendency to over-patronize women can be seen in later cases, too. While the 1908 case was mostly concerned with the women’s physical well-being, the 1948 case of Goesaert v. Cleary was meant to prevent them from losing their virtues through dealing with “manly” vices, such as consum
