Introduction Cosmos is a family hotel in Australia that offers accommodation and transport facilities to its guest. Its visitors include the local people from other parts of the country and tourist from all over the world. Most of its guest comprises 75% of the visitors from England. The family lounge started as a small lounge that used to host three to five visitors in early 1980. The lounge has now expanded and current is able to accommodate a hundred guests at a go. Its good performance is attributed to its good information system and its good working culture that has enabled it become very popular (Chris2001, 123). The lounge expansion is attributed to a strategic plan by the family to computerise the hotel services through establishment of a lounge network, website and Internet. These services were aimed at improving the services of the hotel. This is because the hotel network and wireless Internet could allow a good communication within the hotel. The internet enabled the visitors easily communicate with the human resource department in case their are in need of something and through this process they could receive better attendance from in this hotel. This process called for establishment of a computer network at the hotel reception, which the hotel’s guests could use to communicate to the human resource department and other people such as their friends or family members back at home. The hotel website was meant for launching awareness of the hotel. The website was designed such that visitors willing to visit the hotel could get all the details necessary so that to enable them make an informed decision of what to expect once they visit the hotel. The website also offers online booking to facilitate booking in advance. (David 2005, 77). Problem Statement The family needed a home website to be used in its lounge by the guest. The family had a challenge of determining the right network and website to use in its lounge. Therefore the compilation of this report is aimed at addressing these issues. Aims and objective The aim of the hotel website and Internet is to boost the performances of the hotel through increasing awareness and enhancing the hotel’s services. Objectives  1.

The 2007 movie, featuring award-winning actors Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, portrays the involvement of the US in the Soviet-Afghan conflict. “Charlie Wilson’s War” is based on a true story and presents the impact of the Texas congressman on ending not only the Soviet-Afghan war but also the long-lasting Cold War. Although the film is delivered in a comedy genre, which helps the audience get a more relatable perspective on this issue, there are many other aspects of politics covered. This paper will reflect on “Charlie Wilson’s War,” provide a plot summary and describe several political features such as democracy, party structure, electoral system, and authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Charlie Wilson was the US Texas congressman and a member of several foreign affairs committees. Being reelected several times for his position, he received trust and support from the people of Texas and the whole country in general. In his first appearance in the movie, he receives the highest recognition award from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for his input into the “defeat and the breakup of the Soviet empire” ( Charlie Wilson’s War 00:02:00). As the film progresses, Wilson shows his hedonistic and self-indulgent personality spotted in a questionable company in Las Vegas. However, the congressman’s excellent education and professionalism cannot be denied as he begins his journey in resolving the Guerrilla war. He learns that in order to put an end to the ongoing devastating conflict and help defeat the Soviet Union, more sophisticated weaponry in greater amounts is needed by the Afghan forces. Wilson’s initial increase of the US assistance fund in the region brought almost no satisfactory results but received backing from one of the wealthiest women in Texas, Joanne Herring. Joanne Herring played a key role in the movie, helping Charlie Wilson receive support from local and international authorities. Throughout some time, he convinces several governments around Afghanistan to cooperate and reaches agreements on the supply of military machinery. With the help of Joanne Herring, Wilson manages to increase the US funding in the region from only $5 million up to about $500 million as covert support, totaling $1 billion with the Middle East countries’ financing. Together with Gust Avrakotos from CIA and Joanne Herring, the Texas congressman helped to put an end to the Soviet-Afghan war in the late 1980s. However, their consequent attempt to rebuild Afghanistan and provide the country with a better quality of life was dismissed by the American government. This work, directed by Mike Nichols, depicts some of the most fundamental aspects of politics from defining different types of governance to showing the way they operate. First is the notion of democracy and a democratic country. “Charlie Wison’s War” did a great job representing both advantages and disadvantages of this governmental system. Inclusiveness, diversity, freedom, and power that is in the hands of people – these are the mottos of a democratic state, which are also shown in the movie. However, the movie hints on difficulties of a democratic government to reac
I have been in school for most of my life, and I can safely say it is the life I am most accustomed to. Having studied in different schools and different countries, I do have many different kinds of experience as a student. Higher education is so important to the future and mental health to the people who are lucky enough to experience it. As much as I love the learning process and the great opportunities they can unlock; I am sad to see fellow students miss opportunities to take advantage of their academic situation. Most people agree that it is important for students to go to a graduate school after they graduated from college, but some people think that students should attend some social activities or intern in a company before they go to a graduate school. In my opinion, undergraduate students should go to a graduate school immediately after they graduated from college. I want to be clear that the students I am talking about are those who can afford to continue their schooling. I understand some students are forced to leave school for financial reasons. I can think of a few people I know personally who only had enough funds for a few more years and wanted to intern at a company that will give them a position after that time. I am not advocating education over survival. That being said, I believe they should continue their education immediately if they could afford to. As far as education goes, a student is much more primed to absorb information. Being a student isn’t simply an occupation. It is a lifestyle that comes with a lot of habits that were painstakingly developed through the life of the young adult. People tend to get “lazy” when they give up their academic rigor. This also means it will be much harder for them to come back to school after a year of work. Here I would like to point out that I do not think it is ever too late to go to graduate school. For some people, four years is not enough time to figure out an area of study that they can be passionate about. I also think there are situations where a student needs to spend some time away from a subject to get a better perspective on how they should continue their studies. I simply want to point out how being involved with an internship for an extended period can be disruptive to a person’s education. A student is also likely to give up valuable relationships when they leave school. I can think of a few cases where a student was able to get the job they wanted because of their relationship with their professors. A letter of recommendation is a very powerful tool for the students, and the associated professors tend to give them out sparingly. My friend Tina is a good example. She studied Hospitality Management at Boston University, and she applied to continue study hospitality as a graduate student when she was a senior student. Half a year after she studied in graduate school, her professor who knew her since her freshmen year offered the chance to interview in The Ritz-Carlton, which is a famous luxury hotel. She told me that she want
Introduction Professional counselors should establish good relationships with their clients to provide the therapeutic healing that these clients require. They should keep a boundary in the way they relate to the clients to ensure that their relationship with the client does no harm or pose potential harm to the clients. While relating to the clients, counselors should anticipate potential risks of misconduct and take action before it is too late. This may include reporting the case to the authorities or in cases where the damage is already done, an informal approach should be used to address the issue at hand. On other occasions, informal approach may not be appropriate. Therefore, the ethics committee is involved in order to deliver a verdict. The case can be dismissed and a sanction issued, or charges can be pressed against the accused (Welfel, 2012). One ethical dilemma that has been experienced in the past is the issue of counselors engaging in sexual relations with their clients. This is a serious form of misconduct clinically, ethically, and even legally. This form of conduct is harmful to the clients, destroys the work of therapy, and damages the profession itself. There is a challenge as to whether counselors exhibiting such misconducts should be criminalized (Gutheil & Gabbard, 1992). This study will examine a scenario where a 36 year old woman experienced an intimate relation with one of my work-mate counselor. However, she later revealed it to me and forbade me to remain silent about the issue. The following is an analysis of the various approaches that should be used in addressing this issue. CASAC ethical canon on Sexual Misconduct by Councillors Sexual contact between clients and their therapists is prohibited. This also includes their family members and romantic partners. The prohibition is based on the harm that is caused on the clients. It also contradicts the fundamental values found in counseling and psychotherapy. This is also not applicable to professionals who may want to initiate a professional relationship with clients with whom they were formerly relating sexually. This has been prohibited in an effort to promote the client’s trust in the therapist. If such a case happens, the client may not be comfortable revealing the secret in the fear that the information may be passed to the work mates. Therefore, this may disrupt the therapeutic process and cause harm to the client. In this case, the client remained silent with the issue due to fear of victimization. This offense is punishable under the civil or
Abstract Discrimination in the workplace is a common occurrence especially when people from minority communities are denied employment. In addition, discrimination based on is gender is evidenced when men harass women at the workplace. According to Paludi (2012), continued discrimination in the place of work is likely to happen in a situation where people from the minority community are not represented within the ranks of an organizational structure. In this regard, the minority lacks a representative among the organization’s executives. Workplace discrimination is considered both an unethical and immoral practice since it promotes poor relationships among employees. Proposal Topic scenario In Maria’s case, racial, gender, and structural discrimination is promoted by the company. According to Harvey and Allard (2014), structural discrimination is described as the continued support of a discriminatory culture against other employees within an organization. The topic is critical in understanding various issues that arise concerning discrimination in the workplace. In this context, understanding the legal perspective on gender, racial and structural discrimination is necessary (Harvey and Allard, 2014). Moreover, the implication of such discrimination activities is a concern for the organization. The topic provides an insight into the importance of cultural diversity in the organization. Apparently, the workplace is an essential environment for promoting cohesion, unity, and diversity. The differences in culture and socio-economic backgrounds produce different traits among the people. In most cases, diversity among the employees is a positive element for improving organizational productivity and performance. In fact, diversity is attributed to different abilities that can be harnessed to achieve a common goal. Expectations The study aims at investigating whether a company has invested in measures aimed at reducing negative practices among the employees. From the topic scenario, the organization can initiate seminars and workshops to train the employees about personal responsibility in eradicating work-related discrimination. From this perspective, positive employees’ attitude is developed from training and education. On the other hand, the company can balance the number of employees in every department to establish equity. In addition, the strategy improves employees’ performance and interpersonal relations (Gregory, 2003). The study expects the organization to introduce employees’ training especially on communication principles and interpersonal relationships. From the topic, policies that
Among numerous bad habits of modern society smoking seems to be of the greatest importance. Not only does it affect the person who smokes, but also those who are around him. Many people argue about the appropriate definition of smoking, whether it is a disease or just a bad habit. Considering the peculiarities of a habit and of a disease, smoking can be considered as a habit rather than a disease. Among signifiers of a bad habit, it should be pointed out that a bad habit can be controlled by willpower, it can be prevented, and it can be cured (Gilman and Zun 33). Smoking can be fought against with the help of all the points mentioned above. Thus, it is a bad habit which can be easily refused if an individual possessing it has a strong decision to quit. Moreover, it can be cured in many different ways, and it can be prevented by education and other social norms. Considering the first element, which one of the most important out of the three, willpower is a key to get rid of such a bad habit as smoking, which is very difficult to give up. If a person has a strong determination to quit smoking, he will have to endure considerably a short period of time of physical discomfort. One of the most important part of quitting, is that that is doesn’t require medical help, that is to say, a person is not likely to suffer a procedure that is risky to health and life. In comparison to alcoholism or drug addiction, where medical help is essential to save life of a person who needs a certain amount of an alcohol or drug substance in has blood to survive, the lack of nicotine in blood produces just a physical discomfort that is not dangerous for health and can be handled with the help of willpower. Regarding the second aspect of a bad habit, prevention, smoking can be prevented in early childhood with the help of proper education and social norms (Brinkman et al 689). Many people start smoking when they are teenagers just to prove they are adults in companies. If the society was able to produce a negative impression of this bad habit, so that it doesn’t seem to be sign of being an adult, it would be easier to prevent many children from smoking (Albaum et al 11). The last aspect of a bad habit is a cure for it. Smoking can be cured in many different ways. There are many different techniques, starting from a nicotine plaster and ending with special clinics and communities helping people to get rid of this problem. If a person wants to quit, he or she has various options to help him or her to solve this problem. To conclude, smoking is a bad habit that can be easily quitted. Although there is an addiction to smoking, the lack of nicotine is not dangerous to the life of a sm
Introduction Students are able learn at their best when they are actively involved in the learning process. according to (Collier 1980) and (Beckam 1990), of the subject matter learn more and are anle to retain the information better than when using other modes of study. (Marshall 2006) said that collaborative groups of students appear to be more satisfied with their learning than when they are in a teacher-student situation; this method of learning is referred to as Collaborative Learning (CL) the are many benefits to students and teachers which are derived from collaborative learning (CL) process. Main body One is that it develops a higher level of thinking skills in a person. students form the most effective form of interaction when they sit in pairs and small groups than when they sit in class and listen to the teacher presenting information. when they are discussing, they develop solving skills through idea formulation, discussion and getting immediate feedback from partners. interaction is continuous as compared to teacher student situation where they just listen and not contribute to the ideas. collaborative learning helps the teacher observe the students and be able to recognize the students thinking skills skills and their approach to learning. (Marshall 2006). Collaborative learning promotes interaction between students and the learning facilities as well as familiarity. collaborative learning enables teachers to move round the class, observe the students learning and interact with them personally. this way of learning provides an informal situation between the students and the teachers, students are therefore able to discuss their problems freely with the teacher and they are helped in a non-threatening manner. Another benefit is that it build self esteem in students, (Johnson & Johnson 1989). in collaborative learning, each and every students to has the opportunity to be involved in the discussion and these collaborative efforts results to higher degree of accomplishments as opposed to individual learning where they compete and some are left behind. the competition results to a win-lose situation and the bright students ends up reaping all the recognition and rewards while the low achievers are seen as losers and achieve nothing. on the other hand, collaborative learning environments makes everyone a winner as students help each other therefore building a supportive environment which leads to better performance of each student and a higher self esteem. (Kohn 1986). CL enhances students satisfaction with the learning experience because it values their abilities and include them in the learning process. The groups own the learning process and encourage each other to work towards a common goal which is usual
The short story by James Thurber provides a distinct idea on the significance of leadership in the family. However, it is not explained by merely positive coloring, but through the battlefield of family life. Starting with the title of the book, one can simply perceive the gist of the whole story. It is no wonder that Walter Mitty is out of his normal way of life. He is reduced to what everyone calls “life,” meaning the charms of family reality. However, the tragedy of Mitty is in the fact that he encounters misunderstanding and gross indifference on the part of his wife. The way the story is narrated provides a cross-relational discourse between Mitty’s inner world of dreaming and the real essence of dying from enduring the tension from his wife. Here comes the more social character of the story as opposed to its moral side. Walter Mitty is a victim of female pretenses concerning life prospects in the marital reality. They say that Mitty is weak in his moral background, for he cannot explain to his wife the way things go around him. He even dares not to do so, for taking over his wife, he could face a new obstacle in relationships. It is a point at which the female and male parties are contradicting each other following personal intentions. She claims with a sort of condemnation: “Remember to get those overshoes while I’m having my hair done” (Thumber 8). This decisive moment in the story proves the assumption that women are not powerless in their relationships with men. It constitutes their forceful influence beyond physical reality but by moral provocations or just ignorance. However, Walter Mitty has found a better way to step back from the constant outside pressure on him. He dares disengage himself from the harmful effect going from his spouse. Dreams serve to be a so-called shelter for Walter’s sensitive, though steadfast, soul. The excerpt in the book when he shouts about the fact that it is natural for him to be thinking invigorates the gist of the whole story. Engaging in fantasy is the case of Walter’s triumph over his misery in life (Mathews 28). He is sick and tired to suffer from such a monotonous life full of notations of his wife. He claims more personal freedom by letting himself know that his wife’s instructions do not apply to him. That is the way that encompasses the tragic estimation of Walter’s life. He is solely involved in the process of fantasizing and dreaming through and through. Hence, he gets no sense in shaping the reality in which he lives. “I was thinking,” said Walter Mitty. “Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking” (Thurber 17)? This is the point that characterizes Walter as manly enough to refute the claim of his spouse to put overshoes on. To be precise, Walter cannot keep up with the essence of so controversial happiness he has at the time. His genius as well as his preferences and ability to feel are not taken into account by a person allegedly created to a
