Vision and Opportunity When setting my life goals, I see myself as a successful businesswoman in several years. After graduation from University, I plan to get a second degree in psychology. I think understanding people’s and my own feelings and mind can help to build my professional and personal life. However, my main goal is to create a clothing brand and open a cozy boutique that maybe would look like the one on the picture ( Accommodating advice to startup a women’s clothing boutique 2019). I also want to create an atelier making comfortable and stylish clothes for women and helping them not lose themselves in many fashion trends. My entrepreneurship experience includes working with technological tools as I have created a social media app. At first, it seemed almost impossible to create something new in this sphere, as there are various websites and apps where people can communicate. The first variant of the app could not offer people something innovative. However, now we are fixing it, and the app has wider functionality. Thanks to the first failure, I have learned to analyze market and clients’ needs, which can be helpful for my future businesses. My mission is not to do business only for money but to be useful for people. I want to create an atelier that makes stylish and comfortable clothes using an individual approach to the clients and not following blindly fashion trends. I would formulate my credo as following: “do not give up.” It may sound simple, but for me, it refers to different spheres of my life. It means not to give up my dreams and values, not to give up facing difficulties, and not to give up an initial purpose to be useful for society. It implies hard work and self-development, including both one’s skills and character traits. I want my values always to be in the first place for me regardless of circumstances. Following my goals, I state several essential questions: who I want to be, what I am passionate about, what inspires me, and how I can overcome my fears. The first question echoes with my credo, referring that I want to be the strong and independent person following my life principals. Inspiration and passion of my life also go together and imply that only doing what you like it is possible to gain success. Overcoming my fears is probably more about psychology, and, when understanding myself, I can learn how to cope with fears. Following these questions can help me to build a more stable foundation for all my beginnings. Successful goals achievement is often connected with opportunities a person may face building his or her career and life. For me, one of the most important aspects is an opportunity to gain knowledge both through studying and meeting more experienced people. In my opinion, it is crucial to learn everything you can about the sphere you are going to work in. Useful contacts are another opportunity allowing not only learn from someone else’s experience but also apply their skills in your own business and build a successful team. Teamwork is an important factor that helps one’s business grow. I also hope that with my future team we will create such a positive at
Introduction Police corruption is one of the most prevalent issues in the United States. The invention of camera phones gave everybody the ability to document the wrongful actions of police and have undermined the trust people had in the police authority. The presented video shows one possible case of police misconduct. This paper will analyze the ethics of this action. Incident Classification The video shows a large, male police officer pinning a small woman to the side of his patrol car. The woman must have been standing on the pavement before she was pinned because her feet are dangling off the ground. It is unknown what the police officer asks or tells the woman because only a few of the words are audible. The woman is distressed because her body language is very protective. She is also not struggling so there is no justification for this kind of force being applied to her. By the end, the woman was not charged with anything, so it is unclear why this incident occurred (Francis, 2016). I believe this incident can be classified as minor misconduct. Justification for Classification To justify this classification, I would like to overview the conditions for the use of force. While they are not strictly defined by any agency, their nature depends on the context of the situation and the need for self-defense of the officer, or others (“Police Use of Force,” 2017). The officer in the video used physical and verbal restraint when the civilian was not visibly struggling to getaway. The complete context for this is unknown, but some information about the woman suggests she was aggressively yelling at a man who “propositioned” her before the officers arrived. However, this man is not seen in the video. The pinned woman was not armed and was physically weaker due to how easily he was able to hold her in midair. However, the woman did not receive lasting physical harm, lowering the level of misconduct (Francis, 2016). Recommendation This incident suggests that the officer is willing to overstep the boundaries of his authority without a just reason. His actions were not justified by the context and his partner did not do anything to stop him suggesting that both of them require disciplinary action. Both officers should be retrained to fully understand the situations where such force is permitted. The officer who perpetrated the misconduct should have a three-year discipline letter added to his file and should be suspended from specialty assignments for the next three months. These actions should serve as a just punishment because the actions of the officer do not reflect the position of the police department so he should not represent it in a specialty, and especially public setting. Evaluation of the Type of Corruption The type of corruption is hard to evaluate due to the lack of information on the incident, but it is a likely case of “rotten apples.” The severity of the force compared to the strength of opposition is such that it is hard to believe that this
Stanley Nelson’s documentary “Freedom Riders,” released in 2011, is a monumental chronicle of one of the most dramatic episodes of the Civil Rights Movement (Bellafante). Having invited many participants and witnesses to star in the movie and having included numerous original recordings of the events that happened in 1961, Nelson became able to create a profoundly impressive account of one of the darkest pages in the Movement’s history. The movie pays equal tribute to the most active participants of Freedom Rides: Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). As it becomes obvious from the film, each of these organizations employed different methods of fighting against segregation (“Freedom Riders”). The paper presents a critical response to the movie, along with the analysis of the main strategies used by the participants. The movie describes the state of affairs dominating in the US at the beginning of the 1960s. As witnesses of those events report, it was rather disappointing that the President did not want to get involved in the problem of segregation because he was “worried about the Soviet Union” and did not want to be distracted from the international events (“Freedom Riders”). What was ironic in Kennedy’s statements was that he talked about the importance of spreading freedom all over the world, neglecting the situation in his own country. The documentary reveals exquisite confessions of both white and black participants and witnesses of Freedom Rides. One white man said that people “were blind to the reality of racism” and “of change” (“Freedom Riders”). Unprecedented interviews and archival video and photo proofs of the dramatic events happening in 1961 made “Freedom Riders” a unique testimony to some pages of the country’s history. The media landscape of the 1960s was changing, which suggested additional support for the activists of civil rights movements. The following three characteristics best describe the changing media landscape of the time:   * the decreasing supremacy of the traditional types of mass media;   * the continuing power of the established news values;   * the appearance of social media and the Internet (Negrine 64). Civil rights activists used
Nursing has evolved over time into a profession with its own body of knowledge (Abdellah, 1972). Research has picked momentum and is currently generating a lot of new knowledge. Research in various areas of nursing has necessitated the establishment of learning and practice theories. Theories attempt to explain phenomena. A theory is a set of closely linked ideas. A theory represents an attempt to explain phenomena that are associated with certain behaviors. Nursing theory is a set of concepts, assumptions and definitions obtained from nursing models (Abdellah, 1972). Nursing theories often link the concepts, assumptions, relationships and definitions together. This gives rise to an explanation, a system of doing things or a way of performing certain procedures. That is, it lends guidance to the nursing practice. Theories enable both nursing students and qualified nurses to understand the principles underlying certain interventions and to predict the likely outcomes of the said interventions. However, theories do not provide guidance to all aspects of nursing. In addition, theories may be largely made of opinions and not facts. Nursing should always focus on both patient and nurse safety. Where theory is thought to be insufficient, the best practice principles should be followed. Theory may undergo some modifications over time owing to emergence of new evidence and better understanding of phenomena. Theories in nursing research may be used to explain certain behavior. Understanding behavior is necessary in some studies because it may be the only logical explanation of some findings. In nursing, theories are often used to guide interventions, patient safety, and nurse safety. No theory can sufficiently explain a phenomenon. A theory may guide the development of new knowledge in the field. It directs the course of the profession. Without theories of nursing, the development of knowledge may become slow. Generally, nursing theories guide patient care, nursing education, and professional development. The major problem facing hand hygiene is lack of compliance with hand hygiene standards (Caglar, Yildiz & Savaser, 2010; CDC, 2002). Several studies have shown that this phenomenon is not related to lack of knowledge and moral issues (De Wandel, Maes, Labeau, Vereecken, & Blot, 2010; Galway et al, 2003). Some researchers have reported that attitude and motivation are the most accurate predictors of hand hygiene behavior (Parmeggiani, Abbate, Marinelli & Angelillo, 2010). A theory has been proposed to explain this behavior; attribution theory. The theory was developed in the twentieth century. Attribution theory was identified as th
Mumbai is one of the most populated cities in the world (Kalpana, 2010). It has a total of 18.4 million people, which makes it the eighth-most populated town in the entire world. It is on the western side of the Indian coast and has one of the deepest natural harbors in India (Kalpana, 2010). It has aided the growth of the business to a very great extent (Kotler & Keller, 2009). It was made an alpha city in the year 2009 and has always been the richest place in the whole of India. It is also among the world’s best ten centers of commerce. Precisely, it generates approximately 7% of India’s Gross Domestic Product (Kalpana, 2010). In addition, it is India’s industrial hub: it produces the most amount of income from its industrial activities. Its port is also the most active in India. The other important thing about Mumbai is the number and magnitude of the institutions it houses. The Reserve Bank of India, the Bombay Stock Exchange, and the National Stock Exchange of India are all located in Mumbai (Kalpana, 2010). The ever-growing Bollywood Film Company and other television companies are also among the most important institutions that have their headquarters in Mumbai. All these businesses, organizations, and names make Mumbai very appropriate for any new enterprise. It is also suitable for the franchise business since its enormous population and business involvement can help franchisees market themselves within very short periods. Investment in Mumbai The likelihood of business failure in Mumbai is very minimal. This situation is good for any reason. Such reasons include its strategic location, its position as a commercial stalwart in the world, and is the capital of all commercials. Other reasons include the financial and entertainment activities in India and its commission as an alpha city (Kotler & Armstrong, 2008). Mumbai is along the busiest coast in India, and its port accounts for 70% of India’s exports and imports that use the ocean. Therefore, this location opens chances for many businesses to thrive. In addition to opening up business opportunities, potential business persons have almost everything they may need at their disposal. Items come from all over the country and others from all over the world for the purpose of being exported or as imports (Kotler & Armstrong, 2008). Apart from its proximity to a port, its global and national recognition is a financial and commercial hub that can play a vital role in marketing a new business establishment (Kotler & Armstrong, 2008). This status helps attract many potential customers from all over the country and the world. As a result, it is very rare for any business to fail since different types of people with different business orientations are attracted by Mumbai’s business capability. The Franchise Business The franchise business depends on already established business brands. Such labels help market franchisees more quickly than when they start as individual companies (Kotler & Armstrong, 2008). The other advantage they have over individual businesses is they are more unlikely to fail compared to different businesses. Such a business can quickly s
Data mining presents the most significant advancement currently in the line of analysis and identification of terrorists. The US government has increased its deployment and development of these algorithms despite the privacy issues concerns. However, this is a necessary evil as the nation’s security has to be prioritized since these attacks lead to harm to a larger population compared to the infringements. Moreover, even though it might be challenging to forecast such activities, data mining offers a starting point for tracking these activities instead of other measures. Therefore, the government must heighten this deployment and development for the nation’s safety and security. This continued use is likely to lead to more and more false identifications. Such individuals may feel violated and may even seek legal redress. However, they need to understand that this process is for their safety and security. It is pointless to claim privacy rights violation when such infringement is done for the individual’s best interest to ensure their continued enjoyment of their citizenship rights without the fear of terror attacks and such malpractices. Nonetheless, it is vital to maintain a balance between the common good and rights and between the need to conduct actions within the confines of liberal communitarian values and the need to take action. This is why the balance is best struck on a case-by-case basis. In this regard, situations have to be analyzed and weighed to see which competing interest prevails. In the same way, there need to be mechanisms that control the extent to which such violations can occur. All in all, acknowledging that one side might supersede the other in specific scenarios and vice versa is the primary step toward achieving this balance.
Introduction Leadership issues in academic institutions include those issues that affect the performance of the institution. These issues include poor leadership skills emanating from archaic procedures of operations which lead to redundancy of the management. This is mainly affected by the status quo that does not want to change its leadership styles and strategies in line with the ever changing world. It is important for leaders to embrace change since change is rest. Change has the ability to overturn the poor performance of a school and make it rebound to its previous moments of glory. In a high school setting, teachers must be able to adapt to positive changes that will enable the school rise to higher heights. For this reason, leadership is pretty important because the teachers and the subordinate staff actually emulate the leadership styles of the institution. The most important aspect of change in such an organization when it is faced with students’ performance problems is the change of culture. The change of culture must be initiated by the leadership of the institution because by beginning from the top, there are better chances of success than when the change begins from the subordinate staff. This paper discusses how the performance of a high school can be rejuvenated through the change of leadership styles, culture, ICT improvement and communication in the academic institutions. Case study Barnfield South Academy, UK, is a good example in this situation. The school used curriculum changes as a driving force of cultural change. The school has in the past been experiencing poor enrollment due to poor academic performance of students. Bad curriculum was later blamed for the poor performance of students. The other things that the school was grappling with were the issues of bullying and poor communication. As a matter of fact, bullying is one of the factors that made many parents shun the school for fear of emotional torture perpetrated against their children. There was also poor communication network between teachers and the parents of the students. The ICT infrastructure was also out of date. The head teacher of the school must spearhead the reforms by engaging the staff and students. The students worked hard with big expectations of disappointments. However, the situation must be changed into a culture whereby the students work hard expecting great success. This makes the students more excited in the success resulting from their efforts. Problem solving Leadership in the education sector has been faced by many challenges. These challenges stem from several factors that include the culture of leadership and the leadership styles in academic institutions. It has been said that when you do the same thing repeatedly, you w
In the fictional novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne, the story is told of a young Puritan woman who finds herself pregnant with the minister’s child at a time when she is married to a man who has been missing for seven years. As a punishment for her crime, the community determines that she should be doomed to always wear a scarlet letter A on her bodice to announce to all who see her that she is an adulteress. The only way they will allow her to remove the letter is if she names the father of her child. However, naming the father would mean bringing down the pillar of the community in the form of the minister, who has himself decided to remain silent. The story begins following the child’s birth and her mother’s incarceration period and ends well after this child is grown up and the woman has returned to her old community. Most of the story takes place while the child is still very young, though, as Hester’s true husband arrives in town, swears her to secrecy regarding his identity and begins tormenting the guilty man whom he’s already identified. The story was written in the nineteenth century, but there is a great deal of information provided within the text about the earlier lives of the author’s ancestors, making it a somewhat historical novel in that it reveals something truthful about the past. However, it can also be considered a psychological novel because it explores the deeper motivations and ideas of the characters who struggle with their beliefs and the rigid constraints of their community. However, it is perhaps most interesting to read the book from a feminist perspective as Hawthorne reveals the particular constraints and impossible standards that have been traditionally imposed upon women as he centers his story upon the main character of Hester Prynne. The incredible complexity of this book thus provides something for everyone whether they tend to be more inclined to read from the historical, psychological or feminist perspective. Historical perspective It is commonly assumed that the Puritans kept a very strict social order that infiltrated every element of their lives and was supposed to reflect on the level of their individual spiritual righteousness. People who were considered closer to God, such as those who served within the church, were automatically assigned a higher social status than individuals who were considered closer to sins, such as those who were diseased or women. The story of Adam and Eve was justification enough to adopt a social position that women were naturally closer to evil than men while the idea that the farmer had to divide his attentions betwee
Gradually, the world’s population is becoming integrated in to one community. Interaction between people from various continents and countries is bringing people together such that the national boundaries and racial differences are becoming of little significance. This process has been facilitated by the growing entertainment industry. Prior to the modern communication and the internet, the major mode of interaction between people of different races from different geographical locations was through trade. Missionary work was also a significant contributor to this phenomenon. However, the recent developments in communication have elicited interest in different races in terms of cultural and social interaction. The major factors in this interaction are the internet and mobile telephony (Crothers, 2007). One unique development that is a result of globalization is the popularity of the pop culture. Beginning with pop music, which has been in the market for a significant period, the pop lifestyle has become embedded into the lives of the majority of young Americans. This culture has been promoted primarily by globalization of economy. Global entertainment industry is doing remarkably well due to the adoption of the culture in other countries (Bertho, 2008). The growing importance of the industry through globalization has a serious effect on the American youth. Most of the prominent figures in the entertainment industry have grown immensely rich due to their worldwide sales. Consequently, the perception of the American people towards entertainment industry is overwhelmingly positive. While the American customs are becoming more popular around the world, pop culture emerges as the most popular aspect of the said social customs. In turn, the American youth is becoming more inclined to emulating the leading proponents of the culture (Bertho, 2008). The popular trend is enhanced by the concept of free trade that is being increasingly adopted by the world economies, with the United States being the chief campaigner for the liberalization of trade. American entertainment services dominate the European entertainment markets, and are also dominant in the developing nations. Since the entertainment industry i
