Introduction After exploring the history and culture of the Western ancestors, many writers and filmmakers directed their attention to the stories about the East. The unexplored culture and traditions fascinated and astonished the audience. The Westerners started to compare their values and characteristics to the ones of the East, often portraying the Easterners as weak and unwise. Literature and films that depicted and sometimes misrepresented eastern culture created a concept of orientalism. The film The Man Who Would Be King , directed in 1975 by John Huston, is an example of portraying western and eastern people and how the two seemingly opposite cultures interact with each other. In this movie, Huston attempted to show good and bad sides for both cultures and explored the difference between the two worlds – the West and the East, while reinforcing the logic of imperialistic saviors. Orientalism and Comparison of Western and Eastern Cultures The film The Man Who Would Be King follows the adventures of two British men, Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot, who travel to Kafiristan to become kings by supplying the natives with rifles to conquer their enemies (Huston). The main part of this adventure takes place in Kafiristan and shows the lives of natives, their religion, and culture. From the beginning, the cultures of East and West are put into comparison, which can be seen in the first and second scenes of the movie. The first scene shows a marketplace in the East, immediately exposing the audience to the sounds and visuals of a different cul
Infancy represents a unique period when learning skills are developed in children. Programs for gifted children would help you and your child to grow and arouse skills and learning potential. Presenting problems in gifted children take various forms, ranging from the desire for baseline assessments to concerns regarding deterioration in academic performance to assessments for the purpose of satisfying criteria for gifted program placement. Whatever the reason for referral, a thorough understanding of the referral question or current complaint is vital for steering the direction of the neuropsychological assessment, recommendations, potential treatment, and follow-up. Gifted children are also most often identified during the preschool years because they go beyond developmental expectations. In infancy, precocious development of language or reading skills is an important marker in the identification of gifted children (Davies, 32). Although gifted children have been thought to be at risk for adjustment problems, some work indicates that this is not necessarily the case. Parents should know that young gifted children often have higher self-esteem and more energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity than average children. Programs for gifted infants will help to assess the potential of a child and the main areas of interest. Educators, psychologists and psychiatrists show a general consensus that programs for the gifted should be an integral part of the development in infancy, although a trend away from enrichment in the regular classroom as the primary way of meeting the needs of gifted students is evident. Instead, acceleration, mentoring, self-directed and independent study, individual education plans for infants, special programs for gifted, Saturday and summer programs, and community-based programs have become important today. In addition, an enormous amount of instructional material is created for use with gifted students (Culbertson and Willis 87). More recently, there also has been an interest in the role of mentors, role models, and heroes in the education of gifted high school students. In contrast to these earlier developments, there is now a growing movement to disband such programs, and instead of calling for more of the existing programs. Infancy is a unique period of development when parents should not waste time and wait for further school education. During infancy, the major developmental task and responsibility is personal identity formation; this is the period that has received the greatest attention in the literature. derivative conceptualization of identity development provided a major impetus for work by establishing a core that has sustained unique skills in a child. Gifts and skills development
Introduction On December 28, 2000, The Secretary of Health and Human Services issued the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which contained requirements with regards to the privacy of patient records within a treatment facility. All facilities were given two years to become fully compliant with the HIPPA regulations but it was noted that after the two years elapsed, an overwhelming majority of the treatment facilities were still not in compliance with the regulations. Firouzan & McKinnon (2004) set out to assess the role of the health information manager with regards to the implementation of HIPPA privacy rule within Pennsylvania healthcare facilities as well as to assess some of the issues which were raised during implementation. In so doing, they surveyed Pennsylvania health care facilities. The survey consisted of 20 questions and wherein they assessed the procedures in place for HIPPA compliance, the involvement of the Health Information Managers with regards to setting HIPPA policy, the incidents of confidentiality breaches as well as the perception of privacy rules and regulations. The findings of the study Anonymous surveys were mailed to 268 facilities along with self-addressed stamped envelopes and 128 (48%) of those surveys were returned. The sizes of the respondent facilities were as follows: 20% were small facilities, 48% were medium-sized, 10% were large, 7% were described as mental and behavioral health facilities, and 14% were described as other. The data was collected over three weeks. Of the respondent facilities, 91% indicated that they either had an HIM director or the medical records manager within their facility. There, however, were three limitations to this study. The first limitation involved the fact that there was no mandatory compliance to HIPPA privacy requirements involved at the time since the study was completed before the deadline for compliance. This held the potential of affecting compliance in that compliance measures did not have to be in place at the time but they could have been in the process of being impacted and could have been enforced before the deadline. The second limitation involved the fact that the HIM within the individual study facilities could change their perception of HIPPA privacy regulations as the individual facilities came closer to the deadline for implementation. A third limitation of the study involved the demographics of the study facilities. All of the study facilities were located within the state of Pennsylvania. These limitations will be addressed in further studies which will be conducted after the deadline for the implementation of the HIPPA privacy rules. The findings of the study indicate that HIM professionals were cognizant of the HIPPA privacy rules and did take an active role in assuring compliance measures would be in place on or before the compliance deadline. Much of this involved new responsibilities and they welcomed these new responsibilities. They, however, were very pessimistic with regards to t
History of the first half of the 20th century is saturated with the cases of fierce political and military confrontation between states and their alliances, as well as those between local communities within the state borders. Genocide became one of the most severe and tragic embodiments of this confrontation. Historical science tends to provide reasons lying in the dimension of political, economic and territorial interest, or in that of nationalism; sometimes it is stated that genocide was caused by certain religious motifs and that religious people had the role of the perpetrators of genocide. This work is aimed at analyzing the availability of religious implication in genocide and corroborating the following statement : religious people, motivated by religious convictions, were more likely than others to resist genocidal policies and attempt to help the victims. The research is focused on genocide of the Jews in Nazi Germany before and during the World War II and genocide of the Armenians in Ottoman Empire in 1915. According to the definitions of this term, genocide is a set of intentional measures aimed at extermination of the population belonging to a certain ethnical, national, racial, or religious group; in the first half of the 20th century, genocide turned into an active and legitimate governmental policy in some states. The mentioned criteria of persecution lead to the idea that the reason of genocidal policy also lies in the dimension of the nationality or religion, which would mean that religious people initiated and headed execution of genocidal policy. However, instead of corroborating this statement automatically, we will refer to the works of scientists who have researched genocide through the prism of religious influence. Genocide of the Jews Relation between Christianity and Judaism has a long history of a certain confrontation: Judaism has always served as “the other” religion to Christianity, providing a point against which Christianity can position itself. Besides the closed nature of Judaism, the reason for the opposition was the “revolutionary” essence of Christianity which implied alternative interpretation of different matters comparing to Judaism; thus, two religions which opposed to each other so substantially could not always co-exist in harmony. However, it obviously does not mean automatically that the Nazi were inspired by the Christian movement. Thus, we face the necessity to find out whether Christianity assisted or otherwise resisted the genocide of the Jews. Robert P. Eriksen’s research describes the connection between Christianity and Nazism. The author investigates the course of life of Gerhard Kittel, a German Protestant theologian who was devoted heartily to both Christianity and anti-Semitism, and alludes to the names of other Protestant theologists, such as Paul Althaus and Emanuel Hirsch. What Ericksen focuses on is the confrontation between the “old” and the “new” order in the German society. He claims that many German Christians “believed that the modern, secularizing world threatened to destroy the traditional, Christian, German culture they loved”. 1 T
The success of multinational businesses’ competitiveness in the global economy is conditional on the potation capability to develop and acclimatize their resources tactically to the gradation of the widening global playing ground. Business practices that firms adopt to maintain competitiveness need to be developed in concurrence with their human resource departments (Ferner 2007: 98). The human resource strategies should be congruent with the firm’s strategic plan so as to enhance successful implementation of their business strategies Given that it is individuals within the business who sell and market, develop and make products, make decisions and implement programs, human resource management is essential to the success of any business. To be strategic human resource strategies should maximize workers’ effectiveness according to their firm’s visions, aims and goals. However, in a multi-cultural world and global economy, cultural misunderstandings persistently threaten an organization’s ability to function in an efficient and cooperative manner. Thus, for effective management of a multi-cultural company, it is essential that the management should be familiar with its staff culture and traditions (Poole, 1999: 78, Bell, 2007: 69). International human resource departments have a difficult role: they have to come up with strategies that will sustain correspondence with the entire strategic plan of their particular multi-national companies, while matching with the economic, social, political and legal constraints of the numerous host nations. Global management practices in multi-national corporations will differ significantly. The strategies, practices, systems and structures developed to implement those strategies will as well differ. Developing global practices can be challenging, given the conflicting demands on the multinationals placed by the global environment. These conflicting demands frequently crop up as multinationals try to maximize their capabilities to handle the demands of the host nations (local responsiveness), while trying to uphold their controlled corporate structure globally (global integration). Mostly, the more autonomy foreign subsidiaries have to operate autonomously and address local issues, the less integrated the global company gets – and vice versa (Beret, Mendez, Paraponaris & Richez 2003: 450). Numerous staffing strategies (such as recruitment, selection and placement) are conditional on the multinationals worldwide management strategy. The human resource management structures that multinationals adopt for their foreign operations and the socialization strategies applied for host national staff are examples of strategies
The climate change has brought about many changes that humanity was not ready for, including a shifting pattern of crop’s growth and emergence of diseases. The Earth’s population must get ready to a new era that will require a more efficient use of energy and a better conservation of people’s health. The article “Climate Change, Coming Home: Global warming’s effects on populations” starts out by talking about the minimal amount of rainfall in Africa that has caused significant changes to people’s lives. The government has made some steps to better the situation by making dams, but malaria has become the result of such efforts which in turn, has caused more damage to people’s health. The estimated number of deaths that relate to changes in climate is rather high, reaching 150,000 and is prognosed to be even higher. Even though there are warmer winters and thus, a lower number of cold-related deaths, many places have seen a significant rise in temperature and heat waves that cause much greater deterioration in people’s health. Malaria is cited as one of the most deadly influences on the population, as mosquitoes are not affected by the warming climate and are still active in the higher temperatures (“Climate Change, Coming Home: Global warming’s effects on populations” par. 5). The crops are also becoming affected by the climate change, as droughts are instrumental to the lessening of food q
Psychological wellness arrangement for youngsters is a significant space of concern globally. There is expanding acknowledgment of the drawn-out effect of youth psychological well-being issues and the requirement for a more organized reaction in the US (Shields et al., 2018). The chance of damage from the psychology clinic, specifically from the youth emotional wellbeing facility, has been generally neglected. In spite of the expanded accentuation on patient safety, there is little consideration regarding the proportions of security inside psychological wellness, especially in youth emotional wellbeing administrations (Shields et al., 2018). What is critically required is an estimation of damage in youth mental medical services and installation frameworks to guarantee safety. Genuine mischief audits following child lethality have featured the effect of helpless interagency working in such disastrous cases. No assessments are accessible of adolescents being hurt or having passed on because of clinical blunders (Shields et al., 2018). Notwithstanding best goals, risk frequently results from remedial mediations (Shields et al., 2018). Each framework is impeccably intended to accomplish what it was designed to accomplish. A decent framework is intended to dispense with or lessen human errors by making it simpler to make the best choice and harder to make drastic decisions. A psychiatric nurse is the fundamental driver of clinical evaluation and prompting care. This is trailed by treatment dependent on that analysis, in certain circumstances using uncommon abilities driven by a nurse. Clinical mistakes in psychiatry have gotten somewhat little consideration than in different regions. I have worked as a psychiatric nurse in an adolescent and child’s facility for more than a decade. From my experience, I believe the lack of formal consideration of safety in youth mental health needs to be addressed now. It is not uncommon for the prescriber to coincidentally recommend some unacceptable prescription. Clinical mistakes are not restricted to grown-ups; they happen to youth but are underreported. Composing a remedy to treat a psychological well-being issue is simple, yet it may not generally be the most secure or best course for patients. A developing theme of voices worried about the quick ascent in the solution of psychotropic medications (Skurtveit et al., 2018). Today, patients regularly get psychotropic meds without being assessed by mental health proficient. The fast development of medications has frightened some emotional wellness experts, who are worried about the
Introduction The House of Ajmal is a family heritage and a sensational force in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The business entails a perfumery, which is based in Dubai and it has been inexistence for close to six decades. It has its origin in India and it is rumored to have come into existence when the very first Arabians visited India and developed a liking to the oriental scents that typify the Asian continent. However, contemporarily, the accuracy of this rumor is insignificant in the face of all the business that the House of Ajmal is closing at the end of the day. The business features amongst the leading perfumeries in the United Arab Emirates, alongside household names such as the Arabian Oud, Zahras Perfumes, Swiss Arabian perfumes, and the Royal Diwan Group. Its formidability as a competitor is evident to its rivals especially when there are international rewards such as the FIFA Perfume Awards that were sponsored by the Fragrance Foundation (founded in 2008), where Ajmal won a number of awards based on its fragrances and exemplary retailing techniques. On the global level, the competitors are numerous ranging from Coty to Elizabeth Arden to Dolce and Gabbana and Chanel. What is of concern is that even other non-perfume sectors such as the clothing lines and celebrity names are entering the race and they have the luxury of sailing past entrance resistors under the glamour of their names. These factors and many more are justification enough for the house of Ajmal to reconsider its development strategy in light of ensuring continued relevance, sales, and profitability in the future. Superficially, it may not seem to be in jeopardy of becoming irrelevant especially considering that presently the House of Ajmal runs a $200 million 150000 square foot factory in Dubai, which produces over 50000 bottles of perfumes consisting of an array of Arab and French fragrances daily. However, the new entrants pose a threat to its very existence especially considering that traditionally, most of its products have been targeting the affluent Middle Eastern clientele. External Environment It is interesting to note that the perfume industry is becoming as dynamic as the fashion industry, which is to say that it changes all the time. This versatility has to do with the fact that increasing percentages of consumers are in fact younger than twenty-
Bowen Family Systems Therapy I have learned many facts related to the history of family therapy and the main psychological principles that it is based on and that makes it effective. In the book “The Essentials of Family Therapy” by Michael Nichols, the methods of Murry Bowen are thoroughly described in detail. Currently, my placement is March of Dimes Canada, where I can apply this information. I am sure that it will help me understand the relationships in my patients’ families in order to make a successful intervention when it is necessary. The main purpose of Bowen’s principles is to make people focus on their family relationships using clear thinking rather than emotions, thereby minimizing the level of anxiety. He distinguishes two main methods that help achieve successful results in the therapy, namely, detriangulation and differentiation. The first one concerns itself with the necessity for a therapist to not take sides during therapy. The second one focuses on the importance of teaching parents how to deal with their anxiety so that it is not transmitted to other family members. From my personal experience, I can say that I witnessed a situation where Bowen’s theory was successfully implemented in practice. A friend of mine is a therapist. Once, he was working with a couple who had quarreled all the time and had many problems in their relationships. Being present at one of his sessions, I saw that he was several times provoked by one of the parties to choose a side, but he managed to avoid making any choices adroitly. In addition, he spoke about differentiation and the ability to control the anxiety so that it would not spread to their children. Eventually, he managed to reconcile them, and they were grateful to him. Not-Knowing Approach to Family Therapy This lecture has given me an understanding of the so-called not-knowing approach to therapy, which focuses on a constructive dialog between a therapist and a mentally ill patient. In the chapter about narrative therapy of the book “The Essentials of Family Therapy” by Michael Nichols, the principles of the not-knowing approach are applied to family therapy. I am positive that this information will be useful in my current placement in a way that I will place a much larger focus on patients’ past experiences while having conversations with them. Not-knowing therapy was designed particularly for patients with mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder; nowadays, it has a much broader application and can be used to help constantly arguing family members establish good communication with each other. In general, this therapy is based on the idea that oppressive stories about a person’s life always aggravate their condition. Therefore, therapists try to focus the patients’ attention on their positive experiences by asking certain questions that abstract patients from their problems. In my
