Review of Available Literature   * Review of online business case study . The business case to be discussed is the case of Solutions for Women which is the company with online options that are aimed at selling goods to customers through the web-store; at the same time, the website has also educational value as women that are concerned about menopause problems can read more about available options and select the most appropriate treatment methods. The treatment methods include the products offered by the Solutions for Women company. The company was started in the 1990s by Sabina Fasano “that researches and markets natural ways to deal with symptoms of peri-menopause and menopause” (Kraus, 2011). The most challenging task for this business was the expensiveness of products due to their quality while the expenses could not be cut down because of the methods used to promote the products into the market. We predict that we may encounter similar problems as well if we try to promote the products into the market using stores with physical locations though we will not have such problems as the ViaBela is designed to promote goods through online trading methods. The case study suggests that some optimization techniques such as increasing user-friendly options, encouraging the customers to stay longer and review different offers, making the content of the web
Introduction Family communication has become a matter of scholarly attention. That happens because there has been recognition of its significant impact on subsequent individuals’ lives outcomes. Family communication is the most important source of socialization, which can be either effective and supportive or unfavorable. The lack of effective communication in a family can cause mental disorders, problems in socialization outside family settings, and other issues (Braithwaite et al., 2017). However, there is a number of methods contributing to the improvement of family communication. This presentation aims to discuss the impact of family relations on the process of children’s and parents’ socialization and methods of improving family communication. Body I. Family communication shapes each member’s development significantly (Braithwaite et al., 2017). For this reason, family communication calls for both scholarly attention and family members themselves. Generally, scholars define family communication as a set of verbal, emotional, and functional interactions in everyday life:   * Often inseparable in real life.   * Family members are involved continuously at multiple levels. There are two main functions of a family as an institute: economic and psychological:   * The psychological function includes the constant exchange of various information, ideas, feelings, and interests.   * Continuous exposure to this exchange leads to the mutual influence of family members on each other in the process of communication and beyond. The family is a system of such exchanges, and throughout time, the patterns of communication become stabilized and extrapolated onto other spheres (Theiss, 2018).   * That is why family communication is an essential source of socialization.   * Skills gained throughout the family interaction determine the subsequent life course of family members.   * Scholars particularly focus on children’s family socialization since they mostly learn from a family (Braithwaite et al., 2017). Transition Now that you understand what family communication is and why it important, let us examine how different patterns of family communication can affect an individual’s life outcomes and the ways they can be enhanced. Family communication can be either effective and supportive or unfavorable and destructive. The lack of effective communication in family relations negatively affects all family members.   * The definition of communication presupposes the creation, sharing, and regulation of meaning in a transactional process (Braitwaite et al., 2017). These meanings can be harmful and dangerous to family members.   * Common forms of ineffective communication are threats, disrespect, condemnation, notation, disregard, violation of personal boundaries, a
Introduction Globalization entails the conception of principles, perpetuated by both governments and organizations that have altered the way nations perceive the obligation for a criminal justice system and the ability of the governments to control crime in society. With the emergence of transnational crime, there have emerged new kinds of crime that have been described as a serious problem at the turn of the millennium. A number of institutions and organizations monitoring the emergence and expansion of new crime waves have identified criminal aspects of globalization as grave domestic and international security threat. Some argue that transnational crime undercuts neoliberal policies and the performance of an ever rising number of capitalist market-driven economies through out the world. Accordingly, various solutions have been suggested and implemented with most of them being relatively extreme and involve covert strategies, approaches and processes carried out by intelligence services and their means are usually invasive all in the name of fighting global crime. Neoliberalism is also an ideology which supports the lenience of economic policies to acknowledge multinational organizational interaction in trade so as to capitalize on the private business sector and reduce the role of the state in business. Through neoliberalism, some cultures, societies and political policies have evolved to using business oriented systems based on competence, liberal thinking and individual governance so that individuals rather than governments and corporations take charge of risks. Consequently, this category of market based thinking has become rather popular and is finding its way into the area of public and poignant interaction. This essay aims at unearthing the impact globalization and neoliberalism have on crime and criminal justice. Impacts of globalization and neoliberalism on crime With the permeability of international borders through globalization and neoliberalism severe cross-border waywardness has undoubtedly come to the awareness of the international community though only diminutive organized research has been committed to comprehend the causes, pattern, essence and consequence of severe international crime due to the low attention given to the acts by international governments and organizations. Without fully understanding the impacts of globalization and neoliberalism on crime, the crime is therefore basically a moving target for the stringent measures being studied and put into practice in various countries. Consequently the stringent measures may lead to collateral damage due to the application of envisaged policies to curb international crimes that have not been intricately studied. It is therefore imperative to start at the kernel of the issue by understanding the effects of globalization and neoliberalism on crime. Urbanization The most immediate and visible result of globalization and neoliberalism is the emergence of metropolitan centers. Orga
Justice is a virtue that all societies need to embrace to have a peaceful coexistence. Importantly, it is the responsibility of people to promote righteousness. In his article, Jim Forest reflects on the lessons that he learned from Dorothy Day about fairness within the communities for the good of all people. Although she was once a prisoner and had her shares of lack, she provides inspirational teachings on representing a just society as eminent in the Catholic intellectual tradition. In summary, the reading mentions seven ways in which Catholics can influence a just society by emulating the teachings and lifestyle of Dorothy Day. First, Dorothy dedicated much of her time praying for other people and then giving (Forest). The nun was merciful at heart, perhaps, because Day was once in prison and learned to empathize with others. In turn, it motivated her to give whatever she had to the poor in society to uplift their status. The other attribute that people can learn is that beauty is for all people, hence protecting everyone’s dignity. Moreover, being meek is also evident in Dorothy’s life and can be instrumental in enhancing justice for all. However, that should not be used as an excuse for being reluctant in confronting the filthy system of corruption that infringes on the rights of others (Forest). To enhance justice, people will have to learn how to relate more with people who are low on the social ladder instead of the emperors and other notable people in the society. Last but not least, the importance of following Christ and not the pope or fellow Christians is the ultimate way of obtaining justice. Conclusively, the article uses the lifestyle of Dorothy, who was an orthodox Catholic, to show how they can achieve a just society for the common good of everyone. Dorothy believed that equity started with prayers and that all people needed to start offering little help instead of expecting the government and organizations to provide the disadvantaged with services. Moreover, she believed in showing others mercy while upholding dignity and doing the small tasks in obedience to Jesus Christ. When people follow these virtues, they can care for each other and create a society where everyone is dignified.

According to Gareth, 2010 technology-push which is a business strategy refers to a situation where new technological innovations are pushed via R and R, production as well as sales departments into the customers or the markets with no consideration or satisfaction of the end users. On the other hand, demand pull is a strategy in which innovation made by a business entity is purely based on the demands of the end-user. It has been thought that the later is the way forward for an organization to remain competitive in the current world of business. In the case of Sony and Guerrilla Games, there are structural issues of concern that arise in their quest to being a giant in the world of games. The four major design challenges include; vertical and horizontal differentiation, differentiation vs. integration, centralization vs. decentralization of authority and standardization vs. mutual adjustment. It is no doubt that the merger between the two organizations will bring about a conflict on whether to adopt standardized way of doing things or adopting a mutual adjustment approach. According to Gareth, 2010 it is worth noting that standardized although a good aspect of organizational structure, there will be need to ensure that it gives workers an opportunity to fully incorporate the ideas into the systems of coming up with better services and products. Despite the fact that it will help cut down cost as well as increasing reliability there are instances that standardization will bring about a forced way of ding things which may plunge the two organizations into trouble. To curb this, there is need to resort in adopting mutual adjustment where each of the organization will harmonized their differences and eventually share the same view points. Having in mind that decision making within an organization is of paramount significance especially considering time factor, a centralized environment of authority will pose a great problem to the firms as arriving at decision and giving direction might take a shorter time. Such decisions stand chances of being vague. Additionally this strategy gives very little room for consensus building; this may results to projects being arrived at without being fully agreed upon. On the other hand, decentralized authority brings with it a democratic working environment (Gareth, 2010). With this, views can be brought forth in an open manner hence supporting consensus building. However, it usually take more time to arrive at a decision since there will be involvement of a number of individuals as well as departments. Similarly, the issue of integration which typically is considered in terms of sharing information also arises when firms join forces. It is thought that integration bring a number of benefits regarding efficiency, agility, transparency as well as enhanced coordination. In situations where information is shared across a less hierarchy level, then it is evident that the information reaches the intended party within the right time frame for feedback to be provided. However, the approa
The use of cell phones and social media among adolescents has increased remarkably in recent years. As a result, both positive and negative effects on youth development and relationship forming can be observed. For instance, according to Ryan et al. (2016), exposure to media content can increase the risk of aggressive emotions and behavior, substance use, as well as stereotyped race-related beliefs, sexual attitudes, and gender roles. Besides, idealized pictures and marketing that targets youth contribute to eating disorders, body-image disturbances, and obesity. On the bright side, cell phone use can improve visual-spatial skills and attention in adolescents, while social media and video games promote prosocial behavior and thoughts (Ryan et al., 2016). Smartphone use in the classroom can lead to such positive effects as an enhanced learning experience and responsible behavior with phones. At the same time, negative consequences include inappropriate use of technology for cheating and involvement in harmful activities. While youth take advantage of technology, cell phone, and social media use can also affect their development and relationship forming. Motivation affects adolescents’ achievement and engagement in the class by shaping their attitude to learning activities. Suc
Introduction Recently there has been an ongoing debate about the role of democratically elected governments in the global economy. There are some who are of the opinion that the government and not the international finance should be the ultimate source of discipline for national economies. While others argue that democracy itself is the problem when it comes to the global economy. Democratic government in the global economy Democracy is one of the most effective forms of government in today’s increasing integrated World. As it allows governments to be accounted to the electorate who brought them into power and not the global financial institutions. While the international finance players advocate for free market economy system without considering the effects that it would have in the local economy. Democratic governments have come up with fiscal policies aimed at insulating the local market against risks brought about by the free market especially those that originate externally. This has enabled these countries to have a good welfare state, as evidenced by countries such as the Netherlands and Denmark who have an open market system but still manage to keep the risks as low as possible (Rodrik 316). As globalization has allowed worker
The research interprets Edward Forster’s science fiction story, ‘The Machine Stops’ (1909), and its relationship with the current overreliance on technology and the increasingly growing cyberculture. Forster uses imagination to create a world that solely relies on a machine for living and interacting with each other. This predicted the current world where technology and the internet have changed people’s ancient way of life. Some of the questions that acted as a guide to the research include: What does the machine represent in the current world? What are the benefits and threats of technology? What are some of the current signs that technology might lead to human and property destruction? The research links some of the instances in the story with what is happening today in a world where technology has been both a blessing and a threat. The information hazards and agential risks are likely to become uncontrollable with some individuals and countries developing technologies like nuclear bombs capable of wiping almost the entire world’s population. Generational mistakes and ignorance are also discussed as some other reasons why technology might cause the end of humanity. The research concludes that changes and developments that have been happening are a creation of people’s freedom and constraints. It is high time that people take early interventions and embrace otherness before technology destroys everyone together with their properties. Governments and organizations should spearhead the development of rigid policies and laws that prevent the ill use of technology and mend areas where technology has compromised people’s lives.
Introduction Stimulus is mainly intended to elicit a certain response. In learning, the simplest form of learning is associated with exposure to a single stimulus, more so when the stimulus is included as part of the learning process. In this case, this type of learning is known as stimulus learning. Stimulus learning is achieved when learning process involves stimuli in order to manipulate behavior. Learning encompasses ability to alter behavior, which shows when conditions trigger the display of this new knowledge. Through experience, stimulus learning brings about a relatively permanent change in behavior or behavior patterns. Only through observing behavior can we be able to judge or evaluate the knowledge acquired in a stimulus learning process. Simple stimulus learning is a form of stimulus learning that mainly involves habituation and conditioning. One of the most widely recognized form of simple stimulus learning is the classical conditioning, in which a stimulus that was initially neutral on an individual or animal comes to trigger a response through its association with stimuli that already was eliciting the response. This was successfully demonstrated by Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov in his famous experiment involving dogs, meat, and a bell (Sigelman & Rider, 2008, P.40). The concept of habituation Habituation is a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated presentation; for example, if you hear a loud noise in the surroundings, you are likely to experience startle reaction, but if loud noise is presented continuously, the initial reaction will
Being the head of the national reconciliation commission in Argentina I realize my mission and the mission of the organization. Argentina is in the period of renewal, or, to be more correct, in the period of adoption of new to our land, democratic principles. The fact that the process of our society’s democratization is on the initial stage makes the situation more complicated. There are lots of different tasks we should cope with, many aspects we should examine, and a variety of national problems we need to deal with before starting the way of reconciliation in Argentina. I believe that that the process of democratization we would choose would be connected with national obstacles which do not allow our society to become a civilized community. Nevertheless, there are several possible paths we may choose. That is why the commission and I should analyze all possible variants and choose the most appropriate for our country. To begin with, the people of El Salvador should realize that the commission on the truth was created to investigate a violation of human rights, an offense because of which citizens of Argentina suffer. On the one hand, it would help and promote the process of crimes investigation. On the other hand, it would be the first step for democratization and realization by citizens of Argentina of their rights. Our Truth Commission was established only at the end of the twentieth century, after the Dirty War ended, in 1983. The Commission aimed to investigate the destiny of people who disappeared after it. As a result “we have discovered close to 9000 of these unfortunate people who were abandoned by the world” (Report of considering). The goal of our organization is to explore the reason for the violation, main and minor branches in which the violation is held. Still, I cannot but admit that the Truth Commission of Argentina has some limitations. One of them is the absence of total access to the examination of criminal cases of all levels. It means that we could not inquire about the cases which were ultra vires. On the other hand, “in the course of our investigations we have been insulted and threatened by the very people who committed these crimes” (Report of considering). So, we can do nothing when we are not supported by the government in full. Nevertheless, the Commission was created to follow the principle of justice. The thing is that many people who committed crimes against citizens of Argentina, as well as other Latin-American countries, had held an opinion that they are more equal than others. Still, my aim and aim of the Commission is at least to try to set moral principles and get rid of mistakes of the previous governments. One of the main principles which are based on the Commission policy is the practical investigation of anti-human crimes. The guideline of our work is to uncover, reveal and punish deeds that were committed against people. My colleagues and I are sure that reconciliation is impossible without a comple
Introduction The sales process is always a challenge for the salesperson. The ability to sell a particular product requires special knowledge, skills, and even features of character. Salespeople face a lot of difficulties during the sales process. In the following paper, the process of selling Florida Cane Vodka to Boca restaurant in Tampa will be evaluated and analyzed. Peculiarities of professional sphere The first distinguishing feature of selling is that this sphere is highly competitive. There are thousands of sellers for all existing products and services. One faces a fierce competition while entering the particular market. In the video under evaluation, drinks are being sold to the restaurant. Selling beverages is a competitive area too. The salesperson has to be able to present that his drink is better than others, and it should become a part of the menu. In the video, the salesperson manages to attract customer’s attention to the fact that they need flavors to make a restaurant a better place. The second distinctive peculiarity of selling is that there are no exact rules of behavior or approach. T
