McDonald’s seeks to open a new station at Tecoma Victoria, which is a green village setting that attracts tourists who visit the Dandenong Ranges where Tecoma station is to be located. Tecoma residents, who are about 2085 in number, are opposed to McDonald’s idea out of the fear that the business setup will increase pollution and interfere with tourism. McDonald’s already has a sour relationship with the local residents, yet it needs them as employees and consumers for its successful establishment and survival. The residents of Tecoma have expressed fears of McDonald’s littering the clean environment with its packaging upon establishing in the locality. The proposed location is also raising concern since it is opposite a kindergarten, thus residents fear that McDonald’s establishment will promote junk food and unhealthy feeding among the kindergarten children. Several suggestions have been formulated to help tackle the challenges and help McDonald’s gain acceptability among the residents of Tecoma. Tecoma’s unit should adopt green packaging to maintain a clean environment. McDonald’s should start charity programs at Tecoma as a corporate social responsibility initiative to assuage the locals. There should be open and constant communication between McDonald’s and the local community. McDonald’s should introduce a menu that is compatible with the culture of the people of Tecoma. The new establishment should also employ local residents in most of positions. Foreign workers should be taught the culture of the people of Tecoma. Tecoma’s establishment should be structurally designed to look less urban and more conservative to appeal to the local residents. McDonald’s should also design a healthy menu, especially for the kindergarten children located opposite the proposed establishment. Involving the residents of Tecoma as the primary stakeholders before establishing at Tecoma is one sure way of gaining acceptability from the residents.
High dropout rates among students is one of the main social problems in Washington, D.C. Critics suggest that the school experiences of dropouts reflect an array of poor educational outcomes. By the tenth grade, youths who will later drop out of school are, on average, doing poorly in school, are more likely than graduates to report having discipline problems and lower attendance, and are more likely than graduates to have repeated grades previous to high school. The lack of educational motivation and support that at-risk youths receive in school has as much of an influence on their educational outcomes as their educationally disadvantaged position at home. An interpretation is that a student’s propensity to leave school is influenced by family background, by cumulative and persistent school failure, and by the inattention and unresponsiveness of school systems to the complex array of problems faced by disadvantaged youths. Dropping out is most often portrayed as a cumulative process whereby persistent and escalating school failure leads to disengagement and to the decision to drop out. There has been little empirical investigation of whether the path to dropping out takes the form of a slow and steady deterioration in academic performance or whether there are critical points during which the academic processes that lead to dropping out initiate or accelerate (The DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation 2008). This perspective would portray the path to dropping out as an individualized phenomenon based on the progression and interplay of school failure, a youth’s individual circumstances, and a youth’s interaction with the school environment, the timing and nature of which will vary from youth to youth. One student may drop out because of difficulty adjusting to the school system as an immigrant, often staying at home to translate for parents, and the greater rewards of an after school job. Another student may drop out because balancing the competing roles of student and parent in a school with no day care facility is difficult. a student’s poor school performance and whether a reaction to that poor school performance is to act out and decide to leave has very little to do with school policy or what happens in school. If this portrayal accurately portrays the path to dropping out then we would expect that knowledge of that student’s family characteristics, ability, and motivation to complete school would tell us as much about his or her chances of dropping out, as would knowledge of how that poor school performance developed as she or he moved through the school system. On the other hand, if school experiences do matter, then whether students are recommended for retention or for participation in a remedial program, whether they are called when absent, or whether there is day care available in the school will play an important role in determining the chances of them staying in school (DC Sustainable Business Assessment 2008). Orientation programs have long been the model used by colleges to facilitate this transition. The typical college model is a week or several days of an orientation
Response 1 It is true that such regression might be caused by unconscious underlying feelings concerning the divorce. He also might feel hidden sense of guilt. In addition, he was moved to an alternate school. Probably, his aggression toward his peers is a way of an emotional outlet (Goodenough, 1931). The boy might be angry on himself, though it is not his fault in existing situation. It is clear that he is not ready to leave the anger management. Instead of intensifying the anger management program, it might be better to involve both parents and carry out the group therapy. Response 2 Quite possible that it is hard for a child to travel to another state every time he/she wants to see one of his/her parents. It is hard both in adaptation to such conditions and in regards to emotional stress and discomfort, which child have to suffer every time. The reason the boy acting aggressively might be caused by his sense of defectiveness, as his parents got divorced and live separately (Goodenough, 1931). Maybe he has not quite realized and accepted the whole facts and such sudden changes in his life. That could be the reason why the anger management has not worked properly and he returned to his aggressive behavior. Response 3 It is true that the 16 year old boy is not ready to deal with his problems alone. He might be afraid of responsibility and alienation that fell down on him. His fits of anger can be explained with a lack of self-confidence, as well as non-acceptance of such serious and disagreeable changes in his life. Such emotional outlet allows him to draw attention and call for help in some way (Goodenough, 1931). Instead of taking anger management classes, it might be better to help him learn how to deal with difficulties of life, how to accept changes and to develop willpower. Researches also shown that disagreement between parents is causing aggression and anxiety in children, especially in boys. It means that parents have to be involved at first place. Response 4 It is true that the important part of assessment and evaluation of the client is a behavioral analysis using the graphs, diagrams, etc. It is important to collect as many data about client as possible, so to it is easier to trace changes, whether it is a degradation and regression or a development and progress. However, the interpretation of the data and the changes in client’s behavior and condition is also important (Gambrill, 1977). It is also significant to consider the extraneous variables. They can both help or disturb the behavior modification procedures. It is also good to trace emotional and conditional changes by interviewing clients. However, the underlying ideas of questions might tell more about cli
In the past decades, illegal immigration was prevalent in the United States. Illegitimate European immigrants who were undocumented faced few repercussions in contrast to today’s state of foreigners. The individuals who resided unlawfully in states in 1940 were secured from deportations by enactment, while in 1930, thousands of inhibits had amnesty to reside. The people who did not have the amnesty or statute of limitation had another medium of protecting themselves; until 1976, the authority seldom deported parents of children who were US citizens. There was no restriction on public reliefs that one was supposed to access when one was not a citizen in the states until 1980 when it was essential for a migrant to have documentation to be hired (Vimo, 2019). The enhancement of strict immigration laws was due to the transfer of immigrants out of Europe to foreigners from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Where in 1971, the governor created restriction laws on access to public benefits for authorized immigrants. In 1996 congress debated public benefits to immigrants where they added more restrictions on federal benefits. Thus today, non-citizens face more severe consequences for their felonies than their white antecedents. Employees are not allowed to hire undocumented immigrants, which influences the low status of living to the co-inhabitants. The foreigners pay taxes, yet they are not eligible for public benefit if they fall ill or lose their jobs. Unlike the prior generation of documented immigrants, today’s policies have implications for illegal residents in the country. They are denied access to public associates and live in fear of separation via deportation, which integrates racism. President Trump used racial criticism to criticize the immigration of people from Haiti and Africa. However, the Biden administration’s immigration would help reverse racial inequity. Biden plans to allow undocumented residents already living in the US and are not victims of committing offenses to apply for legal status in the country. Through the use of this model, it will enable a creation of a society that is racial just. Reference Vimo, J. (2019).

Abstract This research was meant to study the factors that affect consumption behaviour of the international students in KICL College, London. It is notable that the consumption by international students has somehow removed that of local students. The research study made use of quantitative methods in which 50 respondents, drawn randomly from both the foundational and pre-masters students, were surveyed by use of structured questionnaires. The sample population was representative of both genders; each side had 25 representatives. Frequency analysis was used to analyze the collected data and findings represented in terms of graphs. The whole research process followed all the ethical requirements of scientific research activities. The research found out that the consumer behaviours of the international students are informed by product characteristics such as brand, quality, popularity, reputation, and advertising. Other factors include payment methods available, parental influence, and culture. There are also other factors that affect the consumption behaviour of the international students; such factors are such as those that affect the consumption behaviour of any other consumer who is bale to make rational choices in the goods and services market. So the main aim of this research was to establish an understanding of the factors that affect the consumption behaviour of the international students in KICL College. Introduction Consumption is a common concept in the field of economics. The specific definition of the concept “consumption” is varied according to different schools of economists. However, according to the school of mainstream economics, the concept is used to refer to the purchase of goods and services by the end user. Consumption entails satisfying the material and cultural needs of an individual or a group of individuals. The end users of goods and services are known as consumers. The producers of goods and services depend heavily on consumers for the disposal of their manufactured and processed products; this implies that without the consumer the production process would stop. It is important to point out that, economically; consumption of manufactured products is greatly determined by such factors as choice and preferences, affordability to the consumers and mostly importantly, the varied consumer behaviour. These are the reason producers engage in marketing an
In many cases, belonging to a specific social group can turn into a source of advantage for many individuals who do not always admit that they enjoy a certain privilege only because of a mere coincidence. In fact, they are not always aware of being privileged. As a rule, the boundaries of such groups can be delineated by such markers as gender, race, ethnicity, religion and other criteria that are often used to classify people. This issue can be widely discussed by various researchers such as sociologists and psychologists who want to understand the interactions between different community members. This essay is aimed at discussing the advantages that can be derived from mere belonging to a specific group, but not from the conscious effort of a person. Moreover, it is necessary to explore the relations between the degree of privilege and the options that are available to a person. One can say that as a rule, these options are related to such areas as employment, education, interactions with governmental institutions, as well as culture. These are the main questions that should be examined more closely. These issues are important for understanding the behaviour of separate individuals and groups. It should be mentioned that in many cases, people are not fully aware of the fact that they occupy a privileged position in society, even though they did nothing in order to achieve this goal. To some degree, this issue is relevant if one speaks about males who do not fully recognize the challenges that women have to face almost on a daily basis (Deutsch). For example, Barry Deutsch discusses a variety of advantages to which males are entitled due to existing social norms; for instance, they are more likely to be hired for a prestigious job. Additionally, they are not pressured to stay at home in order to care about children. This requirement is usually set for women who are primarily responsible for childbearing (Deutsch). Additionally, these people do not always have to meet the rigid standards of physical attractiveness; in particular, males do not have to be too much concerned about extra weight (Deutsch). Finally, they do not have to overcome the effects of gender stereotypes. On the whole, the article written by Barry Deutsch is very informative because it demonstrates that in many cases, privilege is simply a matter of chance, and it is derived from the membership to a particular social group. In turn, advantage can be described as opportunities that originate from the privilege of being a part of a certain group. In turn, one can also argue that due to the existing social norms, ge
In the UK it is very easy to move from a temporary settlement to a permanent one and it has increased the levels of net migration to the brimming level. The Government showed its intentions to introduce some interim changes to the present criteria for permitting permanent settlement with effect from April 2011. These may include minimum salary criteria for economic migrants, new requirements for unspent criminal convictions, and proficiency in the English language (The Coalition Government’s plans: Asylum and Illegal Immigration, 2011). It is quite evident that students from other countries contribute a lot to the UK economy and it should not stop in the coming years. So, student visas should not be targeted to cut as international student migration brings many benefits to the UK economy. Nevertheless, some other measures may be taken to meet the goal of the Coalition government to reduce the net migration and settlement. These could be : not an easy transfer from temporary to permanent migrant status; requirements for skilled workers should include higher levels of skills, qualifications and English language and a minimum pay limit, entry through family route should be restricted in number and candidates should be assessed through a secured test particularly on the proficiency in English language, post –study work should be classified as not leading to settlement, students on sorter courses should not be allowed to work or allowed to do unpaid work or internships only, students on shorter courses should be devoid of the right to bring dependents or the dependents should not be allowed to work (Reducing Net Migration Without Targeting Students, 2011). The government of the UK already warned that many overseas students from outside Europe will be diminished at least half by the coalition government if it plans to reduce annual net migration to the UK (Travis, 2010). “The visa system can be protected from abuse by assessing the potential risk posed by different nationals from different countries. Students on lower-level courses from highest-risk nations should be restricted” (Reducing Net Migration Without Targeting Students, 2011). A new authorizing body should be formed to certify private sector colleges and to discard the lowest quality colleges from the Sponsors Register to stop them from attracting students. “Another measure is to make the students pay the full fees in advance for courses up to 6 months and two-thirds of first year fees for longer courses” (Reducing Net Migration Without Targeting Students, 2011). “English UK suggests that there should be no changes to the system for at least one year after the completion of the current tier 4 student visa review” (Reducing Net Migration Without Targeting Students, 2011). Further, there should be the possibility for amendments only twice in a year (Reducing Net Migration Witho
Background The automotive industry is one of the major industries in Australia. Australia is capable of designing and making automobiles. The isolation of Australia necessitated the local production of cars. This was more economical than importing cars from distant locations. Holden and Ford Australia are the major automobile manufacturers. Holden is a subsidiary of General Motors. In addition, Toyota Australia also manufactures various models in the country. The Camry is one of the major models that Toyota Australia manufactures. Ford Australia was the first automobile company to manufacture automobiles in Australia. However, Holden was the first company to engage in mass production of cars designed in Australia. Australian automobile companies generally specialise in the production of ‘large’ passenger vehicles. However, there has been a steady decline in the market of cars in this category. This has resulted in cutbacks and shutdown of various plants that used design and manufacture cars in this category. Closure of the Mitsubishi Motors plant in Australia is a clear illustration of the dwindling fortunes of companies that manufactured cars in this category. Currently, most Australia imports most of its cars from Europe and Asia. Th
The history of the United Stated has witnessed many difficulties and conflicts arising from the differences in race and ethnicity. One of the features of the development of the American society in the 19-20 th centuries was segregation of social life, i.e. separation on the basis of race. With segregation as a foundation of social relations, school education could not but feel its impact. It was not until 1954 that the United States Supreme Court declared that separate public school education for black and white people is unconstitutional by enacting Brown vs. Board of Education case. It initiated the process of school desegregation all over the country that had a great influence on the social life of Americans and has become a subject of both criticism and appraisal but was a first step towards reaching social justice and equality. The beginning of the process of public education desegregation has deep historical roots. At first, black people were slaves. Even though not all representatives of this race were enslaved, the rest were not treated as equals. Notwithstanding the fact that there were many attempts to establish racial equality in the American society, e.g. the 1965 Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolishing slavery, 1868 Fourteenth Amendment and 1870 Fifteenth Amendment declaring that all people are equal before the law, there were even more steps taken to separate them based on their race. For example, school education was segregated on the grounds of skin color. It happened in 1849 when the Massachusetts Supreme Court proclaimed Roberts v. City of Boston enactment that made the separation of schools based on race and ethnicity legal. Moreover, it has become a first step towards establishing a “separate but equal” doctrine enforced by 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court Decision that laid the foundation of “white supremacy and black inferiority” (“Brown v. Board: Timeline of School Integration in the U.S.” par. 10). Supreme Court kept on legalizing further segregation of education by making colleges separate (1908 Berea College v. Kentucky ) and forbidding Chinese kids to study in the same classrooms with white children (1927 Gong Lum v. Rice ) including them to the list of colorful people (Davis 27). Because of these steps, almost all public schools were segregated not to speak about social relations as the whole because people who were seen as colorful were not allowed to stay in the same room with the white people no matter where they were – in schools, theaters, cafes or hospitals. However, such state of things in the society did not satisfy all Americans, so, by 1940, nearly every third citizen of the United States of America believed that schools are not a place for making the distinction based on skin color and that the state should enforce creating integrated schools and declare segregation unconstitutional. The authorities of educational institutions all over the country support
