Introduction Law enforcement in society faced a lot of challenges due to the different backgrounds and beliefs of the people. This necessitated the invention of new ways of tackling crime using skills, strategies, and knowledge of all the communities involved. This cultural diversity also proved a key point of the study that was helpful to law enforcement agencies. The knowledge of a certain culture gave crucial information that explained the different ways of that community (Siegel 2003). Allocation of more resources In order to maintain law and order in a multi-cultural society a lot of resources had to be invested. Funds were also used to hire the law enforcement staff from the various communities in that society. The training academies for the police included the study of multi-cultural societies and their cultural beliefs in training. This knowledge improved the relationship between the police and the individuals in that society (Mead 2004). Various needs had to be met so that a state of peace was maintained in a society consisting of various communities. These needs involved gathering important information on the communities thus enabling the law enforcers to know more about these communities and be able to understand how well to manage peacekeep
Abstract Early childhood is an important stage in the development of a person. At this stage, a person experiences both physical and mental development. Education is very important at this stage in one’s life. During the process of mental development, education is needed in order to enhance one’s knowledge. At childhood stage, the mind is able to grasp concepts fast due to the rapid expansion. This makes it a very important stage in one’s life because it forms the basis of gathering a wide base of knowledge. Education at this childhood stage will define the ability of a person to learn about more complex concepts in life. Purpose of the study In this study, the researcher will be interested in determining why early childhood education is highly valued. The study will seek to find out why it is highly recommended for a person to start his of her education at this stage. This will help explain why governments around the world and individuals are always willing to spend a lot in order to ensure that learning at this stage is successful. Research questions  1. What is the importance of early childhood education in one’s life?  2. What are some of the specific factors that make education at this stage very important?  3. What type of knowledge is vital during this early stage in one’s life?  4. Who are some of the stakeholders that play important roles in the early childhood education? Research hypotheses  1. . Education plays an essential role in a child’s mental development during the early stage of life.  2. At the early childhood stage, the ability of a person to grasp concepts is always high. Definition of variables and key terms Early childhood refers to a developmental stage when one is between the age of 1-4 years. Mental development refers to the growth or expansion of the mind. Knowledge refers to any new information gathered from different contexts that is important to a person’s normal life. Learning Learning refers to the gradual process of gathering knowledge by an individual in different contexts. It is important to note that learning may take the informal process where new concepts are taught to a person in a practical manner. It may also take a formal process where the concepts are passed to the learner in a classroom context. Both types of learning are very important. However, this study mainly focuses on the formal learning process. Childhood education Early childhood education refers to the learning process of a person who falls under the age bracket defined above. According to Heckman (2010), “Child development refers to the physical, social, intellectual, and emotional growth in young people as they interact with peers, parents, teachers, and the society.” Passage of kno
The National CLAS Standards focus on improving health care quality and helping in the eradication of health care discrepancies (Purnell, 2014). CLAS offers a framework for persons and health care stakeholders to apply socially and linguistically suitable amenities (Giger, 2012). Implementation of these principles will enhance better wellbeing and health care in the USA. In the article below, one of the fifteen CLAS standards is selected for analysis. The 13 th rule is chosen for this assignment. The principle helps the community to plan, assess strategies, and engage in services meant to safeguard cultural and linguistic suitability (Ludwig-Beymer, 2014). The Amish American culture is distinctive from other cultures. Unlike other American cultures, the Amish culture is conservative. The community has not embraced modern technologies in transport and communication. Similarly, the community encourages their children to drop out of school in the eighth grade. Teenagers abandon their education programs to work on farms. The community also believes in the use of alternative medicines. By implementing the 13 th standard, health care stakeholders will be able to come up with more open and trusting relations with the patients from the community (Ludwig-Beymer, 2014). Through collaboration with the community in developing health strategies, medical staff like nurses will be able to acquire knowledge of society’s health care beliefs. Familiarity with these dogmas will enable nurses to offer culturally sensitive care (Purnell, 2014). Nursing care that safeguards cultural and linguistic suitability encourages the conservative community to feel more contented in the contemporary health care setting. The standard illustrated above should be utilized in implementing culturally competent care in the Amish American community. All nurses assigned to them must be conversant with the Amish cultures (Purnell, 2014). Although they are not expected to be acquainted with all the community’s cultural values, they should show admiration to their values for holistic care. Nurses should also be familiar with the community’s alternative medicine. In this regard, nurses should find ways of inquiring from their patients whether th
Introduction Economic and social problems are the causes of public unrest in Venezuela. The social problems stem from historical struggles among the poor to fit into the society in a bid to afford basic commodities. Power struggles and inequality perpetuate into modern society because of the affluent, and powerful people enjoy more privileges than the poor and the powerless individuals. According to McCarthy, gender and racial inequalities coupled with economic and social classes, continue to perpetuate modern society because they have adopted novel modernizations (9). The existence of inequalities plunges
In the United State, various topics are being debated. However, among the most contentious and debated topics is whether marijuana ought to be legalized or not. Strong advocates for the legalization of cannabis claim that marijuana should be legalized because it numerous medical benefits. However, the opponents strongly assert that cannabis should be considered illegal because of its high abuse potential. From the impetus that currently surrounds the topic under discussion, it is evident that various movements have gained momentum on the legalization of cannabis (Stateman, 2009). In California, there are regions where the legalization of marijuana has been endorsed. A number of American citizens currently suppose that cannabis needs to be legalized. Others appear to be very skeptical about the adverse effects and health damage caused by marijuana. The reasons why marijuana needs to be legalized are many, and they outweigh the rationale behind its illegalization. For instance, the Olympic swimming champion, Phelps Michael, lately appeared in the global news for consuming cannabis. This hurt Phelps repute and made him lose some cash in approval. These reports rekindled discussions on whether cannabis should be lawfully recognized or not. Most debates conclude that the United States needs to legalize cannabis. Research has proved that the drug is neither hazardous nor very addictive as most opponents alleged. When marijuana is legalized, it might assist in stopping drug trafficking cartels and aid in impeding the criminal or gang activities. This implies that, the U.S. economy will have an opportunity to save additional funds (Hollister, 1971). This cannot be realized unless marijuana, which has numerous medical benefits, is legalized. It is perhaps very essential to be acquainted with an account of laws that surround marijuana in order to understand the reasons why the drug ought to be legalized. In the fiscal 1930s, various unenthusiastic misinformation concerning cannabis and its consumption emerged. For instance, in the financial year 1937, a popular movie dubbed ‘Reefer Madness’ depicted the negative effects of marijuana. Reefer Madness showed that innocent teenagers experienced soul-destroying effects from the consumption of violent sedatives (Hollister, 1971). In 1938, the legislature had to pass the Marijuana Tax Law due to the off-putting info on cannabis. As a national law, the Marijuana Tax Law allowed the federal administration to arrest any person who consumed cannabis even if the nation had de-criminalized its usage. This brought about various lawsuits, confusions, as well as unwillingness to carry out research on cannabis by the health sector. Thus, if marijuana laws could have been altered, the medical industry might have done many research studies on the drug. L
Introduction The Sonnet I from John Donne’s poetic cycle of Holy Sonnets represents author’s interpreting of ideas concerning inevitability of death, as well as overcoming of its fear and finding of spiritual eternity. Reading the sonnet, one may clearly feel a strong subjective connection between the main character of the Sonnet I and the author; the speaker, if not entirely represents the author, is still very close to Donne’s inner monologue; the whole sonnet is a kind of appeal to the Creator. The first two lines which introduce the basic mood of the sonnet also present a strong metaphoric image where one can also find parallels between physical and spiritual forms of a human: “Thou has made me, and shall thy work decay? Repair me now, for now mine end doth haste” (Greenblatt). The word decay apparently means the destruction of a soul, not body; thereby, the sonnet expresses the fear of not physical death, but spiritual one which is burdened with sins. Thereby, such images as “me”, and “thy work” mean only a soul of the speaker, and the request “repair” appeals for saving speaker’s tumbledown spirit. The mock epic poem The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope presents us the story of two families which quarreled with each other on the reasons of a rapped Lock which was snipped off by a young lord from his sweetheart’s head. Pope tells about routine and everyday events in an elevated and epic style mocking at pretentiousness of dandies and women of fashion. Epos usually presupposes two lines of narration, on heavens and earth at the same time. Thereby, The Rape of the Lock presents us either boudoir of a fine lady or reception in a palace where assemblies of spirits and fairies soar. The style comically intensifies events as long as it does not eliminate their insignificance but, on the contrary, accentuates it. The Oroonoko: or, the Royal Slave is one of the novels written by Aphra Behn. It is a story which depicts love of people: an African prince, Oroonoko, and Imoinda. It is interesting to know that the author depicted physical appearance of Oroonoko, she did not described him as an African man, on the contrary, dignity and honor wipe off the ethnic origin of the man. “Oroonoko, who was more civilized, according to the European mode, than any other had been, and took more, than delight in the white nations, and, above all, men of parts and wit” (Greenblatt). The main character is presented in the text as a hero. And there are several reasons for it. Firstly, he organizes a revolt among those African men who were to become slaves: “my dear friends and fellow-sufferers, should we be slaves to an unkn
Introduction This paper is a case study of a business plan by Alice Wood to start a new clothing store in Prince George, British Columbia. It evaluates the market potential and market share of the new business. Based on the findings of this analysis, this paper also highlights possible oversights of her business plan and recommends viable strategies for addressing them. Lastly, this study shows a financial analysis of her business plan by developing a five-year income statement and computing the internal rate of return (IRR) of the proposed business. Estimate of Market Potential Alice’s target market is determined by the nature of competition and the type of product she wants to sell to her customers. According to the case study, Alice could enjoy a niche market because she wants to focus solely on the petite woman, as her target market. Only 20% of women fit this demographic. Similarly, only 10% of existing clothing stores stock clothes for this market. Based on these statistics, we find that Alice can only target 20% of the market (based on her demographic appeal). What share of this market could Alice expect for the Petite Shop? Why does this make sense? The above section of this paper shows that the market potential for Alice’s petite shop is 20%. However, 10% of existing stores already service this market. If we extrapolate this finding to reflect the larger sample of female customers, we see that existing stores already service 10% of the 20% market share available for brands that sell petite clothing. This means that Alice’s market share is limited to 10% of the existing fashion market. What other considerations should be brought into this Analysis? The above analysis is subject to several factors. For example, the statistics highlighted above are only true in a perfect market (perfect competition). In an imperfect market, Alice could have a significantly lower (or higher) market share than the one described above. Advertisement is also another key issue to consider in this analysis. It often affects sales and market share. Stated differently, companies that participate in aggressive marketing campaigns command a higher market share than those that do not. Therefore, if Alice’s competitors have more aggressive advertisements than she does, she could command a small market share. Similarly, if she undertakes a more aggressive marketing campaign, compared to her competitors, she is likely to command a bigger market share than the 10% mentioned in this paper. Lastly, product demand and quality would affect Alice’s market share the same way as the advertisement and competition influences do. Prepare an Estimated 5-Year High Level Income Statement and IRR Calculation for the Petite Shop Income statement An income statement outlines the revenues and expenses of Alice’s proposed business. Its details are in appendix one. Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Figure 1. Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 16044+3456+807+173+35 Since the NPV at 9% is close to zero (35), the IRR is 9% What Areas Have Alice Overlooked in Planning her Business? Starting the Petite shop could be a profitable venture for Alice. However, to ac
Odysseus, the character of a ‘king of tricks’ as created by Homer, presents an epical understanding of the theme that how a person who is capable of deceiving so much is bound to obey what fate has decided for him. The same theme goes with the “Ring,” a Japanese film based on Koji Suzuki’s novel ‘Ringu’ in which, after four mysterious deaths, a news reporter ‘Rachel Keller’ finds the way out of it. Both the stories deal with curses. However, the nature of curses varies according to characters. Odysseus suffers a period of ten years due to the anger of Gods, which does not allow him to leave the island for home, whereas in ‘Ring,’ the curse is in the form of videotape, which whoever watches dies in seven days. The main difference lies in the characters of Odysseus and the cursed girl “Sadako” in ‘Ring.’ Odysseus, after going through a hardship of ten years, still opt a normal human life and rejected the idea of being mortal. While in ‘the Ring,’ the cursed and rejected girl “Sadako,” who is killed by her foster parents, turns into a curse. It is this curse in the movie which follows those who see it. Throughout the scene, Odysseus is at a total disadvantage of being homeless. Despite planning his return, Odysseus fails to return to his home. He is in full control of the Gods and Goddesses, which for ten years while acting in his own interests, carries him off his feet and has no respect for his own plans and wishes whatsoever. But after trying for ten years, he ultimately finds a solution. This, when compared to the curse of ‘Ring,’ is alike Sadako, who does not try to remain human and turns out to be a curse for all those who watch her while Odysseus does not go for being ‘mortal’ or ‘cursed.’ The way Odysseus tricks the one-eyed Giants by calling the name ‘Nobody’ not only saves him from being eaten by giants, but it also presents him as a brave and daring man who loves being the way he is. On the other hand, Sadako, before being a symbol of horror when alive, used to be a shy girl who was infected by the smallpox virus. At the time of death, Sadako, with all her psychic powers, merges with smallpox, thereby creating a powerful virus in the form of a ring.

Introduction The performance of different industries has developed into significant element in the competition competitiveness of an industrial company. The basis of the development of south west airlines has been globalization of the markets in the 20 th century, customers increased demand for services and the capital intensiveness of distribution logistics and aircrafts. In order to have control over the performance and capability to direct the development efforts effectively, the formulation of performance needs to be measured. Dimensions of performance include physical, economic, internal and external measures. However, the use of performance measures for strategic and operative business management requires a limited set of measures to ensure to top corporation performance. Aspects of performance measurement The development measure and today’s needs for measurement and different rules of performance measurement could be approached from aspects vital to successful business management in today’s environment including both internal and external viewpoints. Operations analysis enhances both effectiveness and efficiency by identifying what does and does not work and identifying specific areas for improvement. Performance of an organization can be measure on the basis of ; the number of fleets and aircraft, the routes and operation expansion, human resources, among others elements.

The images of women and their ideal role as portrayed in Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management, and in Godey’s Lady’s Book share many important characteristics, but reveal subtle differences which reflect the gap between the British Empire and its wayward ex-colony. In neither country were women accorded the rights which we, today, take for granted. In neither country did this lack of rights translate into being exempt from the heaviest of labor inside the household. However, there are discernable differences, inferable from both publications, in the role of the wife and mother in the creation and growth of the nation. In the middle of the 19 th century, women on both sides of the Atlantic had many decades to go before obtaining the right of suffrage. Instead,
