Very soon, the schools in Australia will enjoy the freedom of governing themselves in the sense that they will get the opportunity to make their own decisions. This will be in administration and the Australian federal Labor government heavily backs all this. This came about after a lot of reassure from the National education agenda that pushed for the major reforms in schools. Each school will hold its own mandate to develop its own councils and even devolution of funds within the institution and come up with ways to harness declining performance in some students and boost the performance of others. The issue of liberating the school administration and letting them govern themselves is still a topic of discussion and heavy debate. There is an argument that, as much as the government seems to have completely removed itself from the normal running of the schools it still has a major role to play in them. For example, the government still has a role in making some initiatives and reforms for schools but the bureaucracy has been broken down to mask the entire issue. The government in most schools will still establish their own constraints and limits that the school should work on if they want continuous flow of funds from the government. Schools do not really require involving themselves in the role of decision making, as they should ponder more the performance of the student rather than the competition among its industry and even materialization of fund in most cases. The parents also have a part to play in ensuring that the schools have an authentic touch. The teachers in the Capita territory discovered the school-based model in 1967 in Australia in order to counter the bureaucratic model. This form of model has encouraged the schools to be more open and include the parents in the community in decision-making. The role can either be to offer expertise advice or even contribute ideas and help establish something in the school. Involving the communities from around and helping form partnership will go a long way in helping communication of people. This will hence boost confidence among the students and the people of the community and eventually form the basis of trust, which is paramount in working towards certain goals and even coming up with comprehensive plans for the school’s effective management. The structure and running of school’s differ and hence the strategic plans for the various schools are different because the students, teachers and the staff at large are not the same in all schools. The strategic plan should reflect the uniqueness and diversity of the students, staff and teachers, as it should look at the strengths and abilities of the stakeholders of this particular institution. The Australian Federal Labour Government can make efforts to empower the schools only if the schools approv
Relation between emotional intelligence and employee performance The intellectual process that is pertinent in the management of an individual’s state of emotion as well as ability to recognize feelings and experiences of others are all important elements of emotional intelligence. Besides, emotional intelligence enables a person to achieve, plan and motivate others who may be in need. Similar to myriad of definitions and applications of other organisational behaviour terms as adopted by different scholars, there are various viewpoints that have been used to define emotional intelligence. In spite of the fact that human emotion has been presumed to lack coherent organisation, disruptive and equally characterized by inability to adjust, some of the latest theories on human psychology underscore the integral role played by emotions in organizing and directing human activity. In this paper, the relationship between emotional intelligence and the overall performance of employees in organizations has been discussed. Empirical research models have been applied throughout the essay in order to obtain objective reporting from various viewpoints. In a research study by Rangriz and Mehrabi [1] , the Red Crescent Societies employees were surveyed on their work performance in relation to individual emotional intelligence. In the empirical study, questionnaires were used to collect data. The four part questionnaire sought to gather data both on employee performance in the organisation as well as their emotional intelligence. In the first section, a total of six questions were asked detailing the Red Crescent Societies in terms of organizational structure and employee population statistics. In the second section, the emotional intelligence of Red Crescent Societies employees were featured. Organisational competence of each of the individual employee was addressed in the third section while the fourth section sought to gather information on the performance of employees. The research study incorporated a total of 116 employees derived from across the organisation, namely top managers to subordinate workers. The marital status of the respondents was also an important factor to consider in the survey. Out of those interviewed, 25% were not married while the remaining 75% were married. Those who were between the ages of 20 and 30 constituted only about 19 % of the total respondents while the age bracket of 31-35 made up of 33.3% of the respondents while the remaining percentage were adults aged above 35 years. In terms of working period, respondents who had been in employment for 15 years and below were slightly over 70%. Only 30% had exceeded a working period of 15 years. As already mentioned, there were two main parts in the research survey. The first part dealt with demographics of the organisation while the second part utilized five point Likert- type scales as a way of obtaining the right correlation between employee performance and emotional intelligence. Perceptual measures have been employed b
After hearing about the events happening in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and in some other Southern American cities, I decided to form my own six words about race. They are: “Racial equality should not be difficult”. The process of segregation in some schools, described as a natural happening, truly is not normal. To my mind, it is a harmful and unreasonable process that leads to social degeneration of some areas. The question of racism and segregation has been bothering the American society and the society of the whole world for generations. A certain progress was achieved in this field over the last several decades, yet, there are still unresolved issues that bother various ethnic groups. For years people of color have been fighting for their rights in the white societies. Several decades ago the world’s society started to understand and admit the equality between all people. Segregation happening in some American schools nowadays does not only slow people down on their way towards complete equality, it also reverses this process and erases some of the achievements our society has made through all this time. To my mind, racial equality should not be difficult. The United States of America is one of the most multinational countries of the world, most children from the early age are taught to treat all people according to who they are, not how they look. The fact that since childhood people are taught to live and interact in a diverse society on a daily basis and deal with cultural differences without discriminating or offending others has made a great positive impact on the development of equality in people’s minds. Re-segregation leads to isolated existence of people of different ethnicities, it results in the appearance of judgments and prejudices. If this process continues and becomes wider, our socie
As a rule, the concepts of counterfeiting and terrorism are not seen as quite compatible, mostly due to the drastic difference in the end goals of each type of criminal activity. However, some terrorist organizations have sought to venture into counterfeiting, effectively expanding into massive illegal yet tremendously lucrative businesses. The notorious Italian Mafia has been particularly infamous for its efforts to capture the Italian market and seeking to divert the revenue stream to fund its nefarious activities (Beqiraj et al., 2020). Although Mafia’s activities can hardly be restricted due to the overwhelming power that it has already established in Italy, accurate tools for detecting counterfeits and preventing them from entering the European market must be incorporated into the current measures. Italian Mafia’s involvement in counterfeiting has been quite prominent., mostly due to the overwhelming power that Mafia holds in Italy as its infamous organized crime institution. Among the key counterfeit-related activities in which Mafia has been engaged, manufacturing fake products for sale has been the main one (Beqiraj et al., 2020). For instance, in 2017, Mafia was involved in manufacturing fake olive oil for selling to EU countries (Bacchi, 2017). Though the described counterfeit endeavor might seem as insignificant, especially given the range and severity of crimes for which the Italian Mafia has been known, the specified incident has produced a rather ample impact on the trade between Italy and other European states. According to the reports issued in response to the specified event, cheap oil was “re-labeled as the more expensive “extra virgin” variety, prized for its rich taste and health benefits, and distributed as such to retail stores in New Jersey” (Bacchi, 2017). The specified activities undermine the reputation of Italian food manufacturers and the related companies, therefore, jeopardizing the very basis of the state’s economy. Therefore, the problem of food counterfeiting must be managed so that Italian companies working in the food industry and exporting their goods can continue to flourish. In order to combat the issue, measures for identifying the instances of counterfeit and preventing them from entering the market must be designed. Unfortunately, an alternative solution that could be seen as more efficient, namely, fighting Mafia in the first place, is presently highly improbable. Since the Italian Mafia has practically ingrained itself into the economic and political context of Italy, overthrowing its rein will take a tremendous amount of time. Therefore, introducing tools for detecting instances of counterfeiting and removing them from the market should be accepted as a reasonable temporary measure (Juntunen, 2019). Thus, the very concept of counterfeiting will no longer seem lucrative to o
Introduction In this paper I will discuss two types of art work and they are; analytical art and expressive art. Also it is important to discuss how the two lines of style are illustrated in specific artworks for example; Number in colors of 1958-1959 by Jasper Johns and The Death of Sardanapalus.The essay will also discuss the differences between the two artworks. The same essay will also describe some specific terms which are related to art and they are; picture plane, reserve and two dimension space. Art-analytical and Expressive lines Expressive art is normally the use of creativity in art as a type of therapy. In art, creation as an expression is always emphasized with regard to the end product. It is always believed by many people that this therapy can bring healing via creative expressions and imagination. In his painting, Jasper Johns used this explicit style (expressive art), where he illustrated his early technique in art work. In his painting, the Flag, Jasper uses this line of style, where the art was illumined through a dream (Jasper, p. 34). Expressive art also features widely in the various art works of Eugene Delacroix, in most them he used color to create his name as an impressionist, in the painting, Death of Sardanapalus , and he also used this set of work to illustrate various paintings in Shakes Spear’s book. Expressive art can also be used to show ones feelings towards certain things surrounding us. Analytical art is a type of work that is usually used to analyze various topics related to human beings, for example the personality of people, which may resemble the majority.This type of art is very common in many artists across the globe where Jasper and Eugene use them too. For example Jasper used this style in his painting of Number in Colors, 1958.This style is also profound in Eugene’s paintings for example the painting Death of Sardanapalus , 1828, which shows a painting of a sick and dying king who watches his troops complying to his orders to kill his workers and servants (Eugene, p. 45). This painting helps people to analyze the effects of tyrannical leadership, who cannot be disobeyed. Description of terms Charles Demuth has used two dimensional spacing in his superb artwork. A two dimensional space art work is an illustration where one draws or paints on a piece of paper. In two dimensional spaces paint has less volume in space, and it does not give the viewer the impression of depth and distance in the painting. This type of painting ensures that there is good management of space. For example Demuth used the two dimension space to draw his famous painting of, I Saw the Figure Five in Gold (Demuth, p. 56). Picture plane according to clowns is the flat surface on which the painting is on, for example a paper, it is also known as the pictures ground. In every painting one has to use a picture plane in or
The study of how music affects the memory, motivation, and confidence has been the theme of interest for many researchers in this field. The interrelation of music to the mental and physical health of individuals has been the subject of debate aimed at improving scientific research. Many studies by Cardena (2011, p. 143) have maintained that music has positive effect on our memory, motivation, and confidence. Music, as Thiam (2006, p. 97) notes, has the power of healing our frequent ailments as human beings. In addition, research validates that the classical forms of music has had an impact on individuals, reporting impressive results on the power of healing particularly ( Effects of Music on the Mind and Brain 2014). Music has a calming effect on the human mind, and an inspiring zeal on the general composure of the body. Besides, music is an exciting element that hastens human recovery from health illnesses, given its ability to inspire motivation to feel better. More than that, music helps in fighting nervousness, especially due to the comforting impact it has on the mind, the muscles, and the body. Music helps to reduce the impacts of depression. For instance, when individuals are under depression are gloomy or feeling inadequate, music can offer soothing effects that can raise their composure to normal levels ( Effects of Music on the Mind and Brain 2014). Dejection has the capacity to moderate the actions of the brain, inhibits the ability of brain to think consistently, and perform certain responsibilities. In this aspect, music induces in individuals an aura of strong will that reverses the impact of depression and autisms in the body (Volkmar 2013, p. 48). Deficiency of neurotransmitter and serotonin in the brain, according to Koelsch (2014, p. 172), may result in depression. However, listening to music has the ability to inspire the hormones and raise the levels of these elements to equilibrium, making the brain to work optimally. Soothing musical sounds inspires the production of serotonin levels in the brain, thereby helping in the alleviation of mental depression (Larson 2010). Soothing music has a natural way of making the brain relaxed, creating an aura of confidence in individuals, as well as motivating people in very effective ways. Among the tried, tested, and trusted benefits of listening to music includes a broad spectrum of ideologies and practicalities that research has sought to validate. To begin with, music has the capacity to relieve anxiety and
Introduction Motion pictures and advertising concepts reached their peak in the twentieth century, having developed from pictures, such as stationary images of human forms cast as shadows on walls. The introduction of this film technology made many people interested in movies, yet producers were unsure of how to market these motion pictures, which were still unfamiliar to many people. The other concern was that early productions were short, lasting only one to two minutes. Ultimately, films continued to be made and the length of production gradually increased up to about two hours, a period that enabled producers to shift into hosting stage plays. These plays helped in making the concept more popular, especially in America. The impact of hosting stage plays and short movies was immense, as it became an attraction and received attention from people of different nationalities (Crowley et al. 123-142). The common uses Motion pictures, also referred to as films, recorded as images using camera recorders, have been used as an important tool as a reflection of the cultures within which they are made; hence, they can be termed cultural relics of a culture’s past. The common uses of the concept of the motion picture since its establishment include offering education, entertainment, or acting as a sensitization tool, regarding areas of societal flaws like administration among others (Campbell et al. 67-92). The early days In the early days of the motion pictur
When people get sick, it is a rather stressful time for them, no matter if the disease is serious and may have consequences or not. Unfortunately, sometimes people around the sick person can aggravate the situation with their attitude. The purpose of this paper is to review the situation that happened to Sarah, one of the Home Health Care Agency workers. Also, the way it was handled by the agency will be analyzed from different points of view. Sara was feeling sick for a long period of time and, after seeing a doctor, was diagnosed with active tuberculosis. Forced to spend a long time at home being treated, after coming back to work and not being contagious, Sara faced some unexpected difficulties. Her boss and co-workers refused to spend time with her, there were gossips about her disease, and everyone started avoiding her even more after another worker started to display the same symptoms Sara had. The main problem of this situation is not Sara’s disease but the attitude of her co-workers. The way they treated an already healthy person who had a severe illness shows their ignorance in the spheres of health communication and advocacy and health literacy. According to Lam and Mattson (2018), “social change via health advocacy campaigns is necessary to alleviate health inequity” (p. 175). Also, the fact that someone from the agency’s Human Resources Department told Sara’s co-workers her diagnosis demonstrates people’s lack of empathy and respect for personal boundaries. Although it is hard to approve the actions of Sara’s co-workers, it is possible to understand them. When people are worried about their own health, they usually forget about respecting someone’s feelings. However, one of the ethical considerations is to respect confidentiality and privacy (Smith, Morrow, & Ross, 2015). Considering all of the information mentioned above, it is possible to say that the situation was handled in the wrong way.
The progress of Japan and China in the 17 th century is characterized by the definite accomplishments and failures in the political, economic, and social life which influenced the further development of the countries. The period of the 17 th century in the history of these two countries can be discussed as the shift to the era of the modern times which depends on the successes in the economic and social spheres, and they are also associated with the certain weaknesses in the states’ policies. In spite of the fact the 17 th century brought significant changes to all the aspects of the states’ growth, their effects were different for Japan and China in the context of the states’ independence and stability. To analyze the features of the main accomplishments and failures of Japan and China in the fields of the political, economic, and social life, it is important to concentrate on the peculiarities of the historical processes in these countries. The beginning of the 17 th century in Japan can be discussed as the foundation of the principles of the country’s unification and consolidation as the main aspects of the state’s progress (Schirokauer et al., 2005). The period is connected with the development of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The first shogun was Ieyasu, and he made the major accents on maintaining stability in Japan with references to the strict hierarchical system which included the classes of daimyo, samurai, farmers, artisans, and traders. The next shoguns tried to strengthen the economic power of the state and also focused on controlling the social classes and providing the policy of the state’s isolation (Morton, Olenik, & Jansen, 2004). Thus, the complete stability of the state became the reality during the rule of Tsunayoshi. That is why it is possible to determine such successes in the policies as the orientation to the strong and strictly regulated social hierarchy with the accents on daimyo as the main feudal lords and on the warrior class of samurai. However, the peaceful period in the history of Japan made the class of samurai dependent on the other aspects of the social life instead of their military activity (Schirokauer et al., 2005). The situati
