Political, social, and cultural factors in the world have significant influence on the economic and security status of a society. The political, social, and cultural factors are parameters that reflect the stability of the local states, nations or the entire world. All countries are striving to shape their economic and security aspects by ensuring stability of political, social, and cultural factors. Steinlin argues that, “the idea of development is the most recent stage of the enlightenment notion of human progress as a continual process of internal and external expansion based on values of rationality, secularity, and efficiency” (9). Internal expansion involves local and national industrialization strategies geared towards economic growth while external expansion entails being in tandem with the globalization development. The objective of achieving economic growth and stability is to eliminate poverty, which is a perpetual issue in the world full of inequalities and competition. Therefore, poverty is an issue that transcends political, social, and cultural dimensions and it affects individual members in the society at all levels, be it at local, national, or international levels. People are unable satisfy basic human basic needs due to poverty. In the society, there are two types of poverty viz. the absolute poverty, and the relative poverty. Absolute poverty is complete inability to satisfy the basic human needs while relative poverty is the inability to afford quality and standard human needs. Steinlin defines poverty “as a human condition characterized by the sustained or chronic deprivation of the resources, capabilities, choices, security and power necessary for the enjoyment of an adequate standard of living and other civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights” (9). Poverty dictates the kind of lifestyles that people live and that explain why there are various socioeconomic classes of people in the society. Human health and education depends on the economic status of the individual, family, the society. Compliant political, social, and cultural aspects in a society that seeks to keep abreast with economic development due to the globalization provide an environment where economy thrives. Poor economic strategies by the government adversely affect the health and educational status of its citizens. Deprivation of the resources severely affects the living standards of the people for they will not afford quality and standard healthcare and education. Poverty directly reflects poor health and low educational status
Value and Purpose of Educational Partnerships An educational partnership is an agreement between two parties that aim at coming together for one common good of a school or enhancing student learning processes. Education is not a type of isolated experience in terms of which students receive new knowledge. It is an endeavor that has to be supported by families, schools, and communities. The value of family-school partnerships is the possibility to improve students’ academic progress and support their intentions to learn and use their knowledge properly. A parental connection has to be effective, but not capitulating to develop closer relations with pupils, promote communication, and develop a better understanding of education (Cano et al., 2016). The purpose of such partnerships is not only to support but demonstrate a good example of why education is important and what outcomes may be achieved. Education is important for a family, society, and the student’s future. Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational Partnerships Today, the United Arab Emirates is in its process of developing education reforms and programs with the help of which student learning can be supported (Stringer & Hourani, 2012). Therefore, it is obligatory to know what positive and negative aspects of such educational partnerships can be. The pros of parental involvement include the presence of an extra pair of hands in the development of classroom activities, the support of students who are in need of additional hints in writing or reading, and the establishment of new community relationships between parents. A flip side of such relations is a wrong understanding of the role of parents in their children’s education. Sometimes, parents are not ready to cooperate with teachers and come to school just to be present. As a result, additional distractions and emotions mislead students. Strategies to Promote a Positive School Environment UAE teachers admit that specific strategies can be used to promote family-school partnerships to overcome tensions and help students (Moussa-Inaty & De La Vega, 2013). For example, teachers may start their cooperation with parents from sharing personal contacts to underline the importance of such partnerships under any conditions. Besides, such details as transportation, feeding, and entertaining have to be mentioned not to overload students and their parents with academic discussions only. Information should be provided in different forms so that parents can choose the most effective methods, including printed versions, e-mails, and oral communication. Finally, the distribution of roles between parents and children has to be offered to explain the place of each person in family-school partnerships.
Introduction Novels, plays, songs and poems have been used in various ways by many scholars to convey important messages to their audience. People can view themselves in many literature presentations and realize the mistakes they make in life. Literature warns, educates, entertains and informs people about their societies and what shapes their behavior. This essay examines how play writers expose different perceptions of human beings through their characters and themes. Trifles by Susan Glaspell This play was written in 1916 and it explores various perceptions of men and women and how they behave when faced with different challenges. The author condemns gender stereotypes by exposing the evils associated with male chauvinism. She manages to show her audience how people have equal abilities to manage various issues in the society. The play presents how the detectives failed to discover what killed Mr. John Wright. On the other hand, the three ladies present in the room are shocked at how these ‘professionals’ are not able to gather clues that will lead to the arrest of the culprit. In addition, the audience is able to see the evils associated with gender stereotypes. The women concealed the evidence that would have been used to find out the cause of the death being investigated. This play is a good example of how the society continues to fail due to weird gender perceptions. The murder investigators think that they know their work better than other people. In fact, they think that women cannot help them in any way to establish the truth regarding this matter. On the other hand, these women are submissive and they do not want to engage in arguments with men. Even though they look innocent, they inwardly laugh at the fruitless attempts shown by the incompetent investigators. This is expressed in their conversations when the attorney and sheriff say that the house has no evidence to lead to any meaningful case. This play shows that men think that women are weak, illiterate and must be kept in the kitchen. On the other hand, women respect men but inwardly laugh at their failures. The Hairy Ape by Eugene O’Neil This play portrays how wealth and power cause discriminations and class differences in the society. O’Neil uses bleak realism and natural conversation to create uniqueness. Literature continues to evolve and thus O’Neil was in the right path towards revolutionizing stage drama. He has used a natural style to present his views to enable the theme of the play to blend with the behavior of the main character. Yank is a primitive but meticulous young man who thinks that he has more energy than machines. This male chauvinism drives him to despise women and think that he is not worth in his society. An honest statement that describes his character makes him change his residence. In addition, he pays a lot of attention to bad comments about him and this makes him leave his community to stay with a gorilla. He meets his death at the zoo after stayi
A Target Community Injection Drugs users were chosen as a target population for the Health Promotion Program. It was stated that this group of people are in the high risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It was claimed that 7% of all cases of HIV were connected to drugs injections (Spiller, Broz, Wejnert, Nerlander, & Paz-Bailey, 2015).The spreading of pathogenic viruses among injection drug users was caused by using common syringes inside the community. Major Health Problems in the Community Drug-addicted users are suffering from the numerous long-term health problems, including infection diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C. Skin infections are also widespread among the population. Another type of the health problem is mental diseases. It was stated that approximately a half of drug users are suffering from this kind of illnesses (Salina, 2014). The aim of this Health Promotion Plan is to improve the situation with infection diseases spreading among the injection drug users due to the social importance of this problem and the high level of mortality of people with HIV. The Problem of HIV among Injection Drugs Users HIV could be considered as a vital problem among the youth population. It is an infection disease which is spread among people through body liquids, mostly, blood, sperm, and vaginal secret. The major risk factors for HIV are unhealthy sexual behavior (unprotected sex) and non-sterile needle or syringe use. Virus can also spread from a mother to a child during pregnancy (Salina, 2014). Therefore, among the drug users as a target community, the problem of common needle or syringe use during the process of drugs injection is a typical reason for the HIV infection spreading (Spiller et al., 2015). Another widespread problem into the population of drug abused youth is unhealthy sexual behavior and practice of unprotected sex (Shuper, Joharchi, & Rehm, 2014). This Health Promotion Program is focused on a problem of common syringe usage inside the target community as a more specific issue which is more amenable to intervene (Aspinall et al., 2014). Enabling Factors The primary aim of this program is to intervene the usage of common non-sterile syringes for intravenous drug injections. This unhealthy behavior is widely spread among the population of drug users. Four main enabling factors which influence this unhealthy behavior could be stated:  1. people underestimate risk factors and importance of sterile syringes  2. no access to the sterile injecting equipment among drags users  3. personal psychological features  4. social rejection. Generally, a community of drags users suffers from the poverty. Members of community do not desire to spend money for buying a significant amount of sterile syringes. Besides, a low educational and cultural level of people leads to the lack of knowledge accordi
The practice of nursing preceptorship is followed around the globe, and a range of studies report positive changes in nursing education that are associated with the involvement of nurse preceptors in a working process. In clinical settings, preceptors help nurses adapt to the work in a healthcare facility, and they teach how to provide acute and continuing care services appropriately (Duteau, 2012; Kalischuk, Vandenberg, & Awosoga, 2013). However, the problem is in the fact that, in spite of supporting inexperienced nurses, preceptors often lack the required skills and resources in order to work effectively and demonstrate their potential. The cause of this problematic situation is the lack of focus on the orientation of preceptors (Sanford & Tipton, 2016). Although experienced nurses are usually obliged to complete certain courses or training in order to perform as supervisors or preceptors, little attention is paid to their orientation, and many facilities lack resources to provide specialists with the necessary training. Furthermore, nurses often lack time to attend specific training sessions because of their strict schedules (Shinners, Mallory, & Franqueiro, 2013). From this point, it is necessary to discuss the situation with preceptor orientation not only from the perspective of its role for preceptees but also from the point of experienced nurses, who need to participate in preceptorship programs to expand their knowledge, and from the position of authorities in healthcare facilities, who plan to retain high-class specialists. In spite of the determined challenges and barriers, it is possible to propose the change and develop the preceptor orientation program that is most efficient in terms of the required resources and potential outcomes for preceptors and preceptees. Such preceptor orientation should be appropriate to be implemented in clinical settings where there are no opportunities to hire nurse educators or develop their roles (Ford, Fitzgerald, & Courtney-Pratt, 2013). It is possible to identify the key features of the proposed orientation: the program should involve nurses who have experience and demonstrate the willingness to perform as a preceptor; training sessions should be integrated into the working process; and online courses should be proposed to support a practical component of the orientation. The accentuated advantages that are associated with participating in the preceptor orientation are the professional growth, the improved collaboration, and the personal satisfaction (Duteau, 2012). It is also possible to state that the role of a nurse preceptor cannot be discussed as applicable to any nurse. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the importance of preceptor orientation and propose the program that will demonstrate benefits of this p
Introduction Investment opportunities can be assessed with some indices, and the elasticity of demand is among them. This term defines the dependence of order on various factors, the most popular ones including price changes, customers’ income fluctuations, and the changes in the price of other different services and goods. In this paper, McDonald’s Corporation and Hyatt Hotels Corporation have been chosen to demonstrate the influence of these indices on investment choices. However, other characteristics of the companies are also taken into account to make an informed decision. The paper includes a short overview of both companies, a theoretical overview of the elasticity terminology, a description of the critical elasticity features of both firms, and some additional investment-relevant information. The conclusion includes a possible decision concerning investment. Hyatt: Short Description Hyatt operates and franchises over 500 luxury hotels and resorts in almost 50 countries. The chain’s history began in 1957, but the brand Hyatt Hotels appeared in 2004; in fact, the company owns the brands Hyatt, Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Andaz, Park Hyatt, Hyatt Place, and Hyatt Summerfield Suites (extended stay) brands (Hoover’s Inc., 2015a). The target market of the company includes business travelers and leisure vacationers with high income. The competitors of Hyatt include other luxury hotel chains, such as Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc., Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., or Marriott International, Inc. (Hoover’s Inc., 2015a). McDonald’s: Short Description McDonald’s Corporation is specialized in foodservice retail that was created in 1955. The company operates and franchises restaurants in the US, Latin America, Canada, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, and the Middle East. The company-operated restaurants amounted to about 18% as of 2014 (McDonald’s Corporation, 2014). Most of the company’s restaurants offer drive-through service. The menu includes typical fast food items like hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and French fries; apart from that, McDonald’s serves salads, sundaes, and pies. Finally, soft drinks, water, juices can be bought by the customers. Among the famous special McDonald’s offers are the Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, and Chicken McNuggets. According to The World’s Most Valuable Brands Rating by Forbes (2015), McDonalds scores “poorly” with customers, but due to the size of the company (33,500 restaurants, 68 million customers, 119), it is ranked the 7th most valuable brand. For example, in the US, only there are more than 14,250 McDonald’s locations. McDonald’s Competitors include Burger King Worldwide, Inc., Yum Brands, Inc. (Hoover’s Inc., 2015b). Elasticity: Key Terms Flexibility is the term used to describe the effect that a variable has on another one (Png, 2012). For example, the price elasticity of demand “measures how much the quantity demanded a response to a change in price» (Mankiw, 2014, p. 90). Therefore, the term can be defined as the change in the demand (the quantity demanded) divided by the difference in price (both presented as the percentage). In case the r
The UAE has made incredible progress in its healthcare sector, owing to the government’s plan to establish comprehensible health initiatives and programs that target both private and public health sectors. The World Health Organization now considers the UAE one of the developed nations in terms of healthcare services. The nation has high standards of healthcare as indicated by the witnessed high life expectancy and reduced infant mortality. The UAE’s citizens can access healthcare services in 35 public and 14 private hospitals, 128 outpatients’ health facilities, and several local private hospitals that continue to be established (World Health Organization, 2006). Asian expatriates (particularly semiskilled and manual workers) rarely have health insurance, despite some foreign employees having such covers. The World Health Organization (2006) posits that wealthy UAE people traditionally preferred seeking medical services abroad. However, Dubai Healthcare City endeavors to change this taboo by hoping to attack healthcare seekers from the affluent UAE population segment. The UAE had a rate of bed occupancy of 57% to 90% and a ratio of one bed to 915 peo
Introduction Studies on the Second World War have yielded varied perspectives; according to Erdelja, “there is no other experience that was more crucial to the development of the U.S. and Europe in the 20 th century than the Second World War” (Erdelja, 2009, p. 1). The war marked the struggle for social and political freedom for the entire world. The consequences of the war were characterized by chaos, which broke human bonds, destroyed homes and communities, and uprooted foundations of societies. From today’s perspective, World War II was more than the series of battles and diplomatic negotiations, which are widely studied today (Royal Air Force 94). This paper will discuss the World War II in the light of the U.S. history. The paper will describe the role that the war played in shaping the U.S. government and its policies. The lessons learned due to the U.S. engaging in the war are also highlighted. World War II and U.S. History World War II was the most gruesome epoch ever in the U.S. history. It was characterized by struggles, deaths of many citizens, financial constrains, damaged property and many other challenges in the country. The number of deaths between 1939 and 1945 was estimated to be more than 55 million. The war began on September 1, 1939 when Poland was invaded by Germany. It spread out to the entire world with almost 50 countries taking part in the war and men and women fighting in almost every part of the world. After the war became rampant, Americans became divided on whether to participate or to stay out of it completely. However, their hopes and desires were for their allies to win the war while they remained calm and isolated from the war. While some wished the U.S. could avoid the war at all costs, there was a group of interventionists that demanded the government to do all it could within its power to help the allies of U.S. It was then that the government changed its policy from being neutral on issues related to the war into being prepared through expanding its military forces and later proceeded to support its allies. The president then made the U.S. to be an arsenal supplier; the U.S. started by supplying war materials to its allies (Teachers Guide 1). World War II was a turning point to the lives of Americans and in the history of the U.S. In 1944, the thre
This health history focuses on a 76-year-old African-American male with disabilities living in an urban setting. For this patient, it is especially important to pay attention to his age, disability, and ethnicity. It is appropriate to interview the patient as an integral part of communication between the patient and the caregiver. According to Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, and Stewart (2015), “establishing a positive patient relationship depends on communication built on courtesy, comfort, connection, and confirmation” (p. 2). Therefore, the interview would be conducted in a comfortable exam room to ensure proper accommodation with his disability. The introduction of a clinician would be followed by the explanation of privacy terms, identification of the patient’s name, and then by open-ended questions regarding his physical and psychological state and health issues. The patient-centered approach would be used to gather more data and help the patient timely. The Home Safety Self-Assessment Tool (HSSAT) would be applied to evaluate the patient’s living conditions in terms of safety (fall prevention) and quality (the presence of accessible features). The functional assessment would also be used to determine the ability of the patient to care about himself and what level of care is needed (Bickley & Szilagyi, 2012). This would help to select relevant interventions. More to the point, multi-assessment may be important for older patients who have several health problems and need different types of assistance, including mental health, disability, and physical issues (Weber & Kelley, 2014). The received data should be documented in the first-person narrative to properly reflect the patient’s state and f
Arias-Alfonso, Andrés F., and Camilo A. Franco. “ The Creative Act in the Dialogue between Art and Mathematics.” Mathematics, vol 9, no. 13, 2021, p. 1517. MDPI AG The research aims at showing the relationship between Art and Mathematics to students. The two disciplines have proved to be more united throughout history, with many characteristics believed to be different proving to be more confluent. It is indicated in the article that emotions, intuition, and the creative process related to art play an essential role in mathematical thinking. According to the authors, three moments were formed to establish a dialogue between the two disciplines: Introduction to Art and mathematics as ways of doing art, collective experimentation, and re-signification of education as a model of experience. In the article, one of the apparent links that show the relationship between Mathematics and Art is believed to be the mathematical concept of symmetry. The aesthetic criteria related to art are portrayed here, thus making symmetry a vital factor in showing the relationship between the two disciplines. The article indicates that various investigations have been conducted in education. The result was that the two are interdependent; one discipline is used as another instrument. The researchers identified sequences, symmetry, proportions, and a simple pendulum from the methodology as concepts that portrayed the relationship between mathematics and art.
