How did the public consciousness influence Wald’s projects and the future of public health nursing? Even though Lillian Wald is often referred to as a visionary whose contribution to the radical change of the health care system of the U.S cannot be overstated, it is necessary to recognize that it would not be possible without cultural ethos and the Progressive reform of the beginning of the twentieth century. Public consciousness of that time directed the development of the most important Wald’s projects: “the invention of public health nursing itself, the establishment of a nationwide system of insurance payments for home-based care, and the creation of a national public health nursing service” (Buhler-Wilkerson 1778). The reinvigoration of the future of public health care nursing is only possible when the role of a public nurse envisioned by Wald is built on the principles of social welfare, motherhood, and public (Buhler-Wilkerson 1778). The paradigm shift of the medical system was not supported by the public at large whose consciousness was predominated with an image of a nurse as a mother figure. Therefore, to uplift nursing practice from the local level and expand it further, changing the health industry along the way, Wald had to reform both public opinion and the medical establishment (Reverby 1663). Describe Wald’s narrative – how does she relate the story of the Settlement? The following canons of rhetoric are used as a framework for the analysis of The House on Henry Street : imagination, memory, style, and arrangement. For the rhetorical canon called imagination, it is clear that both conventional wisdom of Wald’s era and her personal experience provided her with materials necessary to build the core of the book. The same can be said about the canon of memory. It could be argued that by using simple style the author wants to appeal to a wide audience interested in both social and political change. Moreover, by resorting to language such as “unfailing goodness of the poor” (Wald 18) while telling a story of an impoverished family of the Scotch-Irish cobbler, she aims to imbue a reader with the sense of communal support which was so common to urban areas mired in misery. Therefore, there is no surprise that she makes numerous appeals to emotion throughout the book in an attempt to campaign not only for minds but also for the hearts of her audience (Wald 25). For the arrangement, Wald manages to neatly combine all elements of the narration making her arguments extremely persuasive. Consider Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. Does Wald make a persuasive appeal? Wald skillfully employs ethos by retaining the sincere and fair-minded presentation of her arguments, throughout the book. By using phrases such as “we had many experiences with them,” “all our experience,” and referring to her “cumulative knowledge” (Wald 157), she manages to convince her readers that she possesses credentials necessary to tell the story. On the level of
Introduction A sports industry is popular now involving thousands of athletes and millions of fans worldwide. In addition to that, it deals with considerable sums of money that come from numerous sponsors, advertising, and different economic activities. That is why it is much more than just a competition in a particular kind of sport; it is a full-fledged business sector. Thus, some teams irrespective of their specialty manage to be high yielding projects. Among them, the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club deserves specific attention. This sports team has a rich history, decent management, and skillful players, while its economic performance seems to be perfect. Team Explained Toronto Blue Jays are a Canadian baseball team that was established in the late 20 th century. It was named after the bird, blue jay, that is famous in Canada. The team competes in Major League Baseball (MLB) and represents the American League East division, and it is the only club in MLB that is not from the United States. Blue, red, and white are the team’s official colors, which is depicted at its logo. History and Performance Toronto Blue Jays were created in Toronto in 1977, and they immediately became popular among fans. Over its 42-year history, the club has witnessed many successes and failures, while different people and organizations have run it. At present, however, the team is owned by Rogers Communications Inc. that purchased 80% of the club interests in 2000 (Tait para. 69). It happened in 2004 when the company managed to buy the remaining 20%. Rogers Communications is a famous Canadian company providing people with various communication and media services. Now, the company has many young employees, which influences the company’s performance. It is possible to identify a clear sporting focus of the firm because alongside owning Toronto Blue Jays it launched a specialty TV programming and a sports radio station. As has been stated, the team’s history has been full of both winning and losing moments. The late 1970s-early 80s were the time of struggles for Toronto Blue Jays because it was difficult for a newly created team to compete against more experienced opponents. As a result, the team finished in the last place in its division several times. However, it took a while for them to win the first East Division title, which happened in 1985. That event marked the beginning “an era of success” for the team (para. 53). During 1985 and 1993, Toronto Blue Jays won a total of nine titles, including the World Series in 1992 and 1993. It could not but result in significant economic benefits for the team, and in 1991, it became the first b
Risk Analysis Components A risk analysis is a crucial step that cannot be neglected or poorly organized. With the help of this kind of analysis, the main threats and hazards can be identified and categorized in accordance with their severity, possibility, consequences, etc. It is very important to document all components of risk analysis, explain the necessity of such type of work, and underline the importance of each solution made and every idea presented. A successful risk analysis has to be open, applied, and clear. There are three main components of the majority of risk analyses: assessment, management, and communication. Each component consists of specific steps that should be taken. Assessment is about such processes like identification, characterization, and exposure assessment. Risk management is the evaluation and implementation of the options and the review of the situation before and after the improvements. And risk communication is the way of how the exchange of information is organized. As soon as the main risks are identified, it is necessary to categorize them and quantify accordingly to think about the most appropriate solutions to try to improve the situation and avoid the most stressful outcomes and challenges for the project. Brief Risk Identification and Description The current project is based on the necessity to resurface a 2,100-square-foot driveway with new asphalt. The project manager has to predict the possible resurfacing challenges (both expected and unexpected) in order to gather information and choose the most appropriate options. The previous project helps to identify the following risks: weather conditions, uncertainty about the equipment being delivered in time, possible poor quality of the chosen material for asphalt, poorly removed old driveway, unstable physical conditions of the employees, and unexpected financial costs. In general, there are six main risks with their own components and methods for solution. All of them have to be properly managed to benefit with the opportunities available as soon as the project is finished. A chance to improve a parking place, decrease the chances of car damage, promote a good look of the territory, stop a possible destructions of the driveway, and use a new driveway for a variety of reasons are the main stimuli to underline the importance of risk management and support the development of a comprehensive quality management program (Lemelin, 2011). Risk Categorization and Quantification Rules and properly developed working principles have to be taken into consideration while managing risks and promoting an effective implementation of the ideas. Every successful manager has to develop a strong framework on the basis of which all risks can be categorized and explained. As a rule, such factors like not clear objectives of a project, ineffective communication, or insufficient business demand analysis predetermine a further development of risky situati
Total quality management is the organizational practice used in ascertaining that the organization meets the prerequisites of its clients. The process involves improvement of services, products and processes through a contribution from all the stake holders in the organization. On the other hand, business process management is an effort made by an organization aiming at improving its processes in a bid to satisfy their clients. This process helps an organization serve its customers in a more effective way thereby maintaining the strong link with their clients. The specific organizational goals are carried out by both the organizational personnel and equipment. Continuous improvement is a step by step uninterrupted attempt to improve products services or even processes. The improvements may either be made over some time or made once and for all. This process is at times referred to as a management process but this does not imply that it is carried out or executed by an organization’s management only. The two, business process management and continuous improvement are similar in that they both target the needs of their clients. They ensure their clients get the best services and products from them to maintain their clients. By maintaining their clients they are able to survive in the market and compete fairly with others. The two also coincide in the implementation process. All stake holders of the organization are equally involved in the process of implementing the processes. The executive management of the firm is in charge of heading the organization’s personnel in carrying out the implementation process. The two processes also aim at promoting the effectiveness of the business by adhering to the demands of their clients from the feedback they get. They also look at improving the total quality management processes continuously. The processes help to gain high levels of customer satisfaction by improving their product and service quality and ensuring appropriate time to market speed. The two processes also bring forth revenue and promote improved products and services through enhanced technological advancement. Both aim at mechanizing business activities through information technology with the use of manpower driven processes as they rely on resubmit obtained from the organizations clients and the various processes. How you can use ‘Social Intelligence’ in Group/Teams Social intelligence is the ability of human beings to relate and cooperate well with others. This may in other words be termed as the mutual relationship between different individuals. Social intelligence comprises of five different attributes which include sympathy, legitimacy, clarity, awareness and presence. Social intelligence in groups gives one a feeling of love, respect and appreciation. People with high social intelligence within a team are seen as appealing or to contain so
Overview of Topic The topic of discussion is about the laziness in the workplace and the spread of its negative impacts on Chinese cuisines and restaurant business across the world. Management of human capital, how restaurants and hotel business is handled in the Chinese way and the city that should be dwelt upon is that of Ontario in Canada is also discussed. Laziness is an intolerable demise and it has never been recognised and accepted anywhere on the universe. Most specifically, managers are known to be very harsh and strict on lazy characters in case they are identified. This is because laziness and productivity are a complete contrast of the other. One does not expect to realise growth in production where employees do not perform their roles within the required timeframe. One contributor to laziness derived from attitude in Chinese business is the fact that Cuisines of the Chinese are based on the Chinese culture and they are majorly based in the major Chinese cities of Lu, Zhe, and Guangzhou among many others. Moreover, Chinese Hotel business spreads across the world like bushfire due to its uniqueness and its strong cultural base. What we ought to do is seeing on ways to solve this problem and hence support business growth. This is again supported by the fact that people are very open and willing to accept the Chinese culture hence big client and customer base which is the major prerequisite of business advancement. The spread of Chinese ventures is not biased because that china is not a capitalist state and has belief bent on the welfare considerations of the people. Another reason is that of recent China has opened up itself to the rest of the world as opposed to previously when it believed in itself and her alone (Cho, 2010). This explains why even the labour industry and laws of Canada have accepted their operations in their land. In Ontario, Canada alone there are over 500 Chinese restaurants and the prospect of growth are highly expected at slightly over 50% p.a with the major obstacles being laziness at the work place and employee handling. Punishing employees who do not conform to the policy and standards of many businesses in Canada has been a very great challenge due to the strong human right organisations and employee associations. Despite their members being on the wrong at times they always employ a great deal of resources to defend them to the last drop of blood (Ludmer, 2001). Our case in study is the Shanloon Chinese Cuisine House. Employers are also left in a dilemma at times when the government and the civil society engage in strife over their employees. This restaurant is located in a highly accessible str
Summary Complex electronic systems are in demand in various fields, including engineering. Their design, behaviour, and functional features allow the implementation of different tasks due to the accuracy and stability of work. These systems may be distinctive in their basic technical characteristics, but in general, the use of these machines makes it possible to reduce risks and secure any computing and analytical procedures, which are the essential benefits of any technical activity. Characteristics of Complex Electronic System Based on the results of the assessment and the opinions of stakeholders involved in working with a complex electronic system, one can note that its activities contribute to improving communication and increasing productivity. According to Albers, Peglow, Powelske, Birk and Bursac (2018), these mechanisms have those functional characteristics that cannot clearly describe the design of the equipment or its behaviour. In other words, these systems have a wide range of capabilities that cannot be predicted without having relevant information about the specifics of the technology. Users utilising this advanced communication algorithm confirm that it improves performance and helps to accurately retrieve data. In case of an unexpected breakdown and malfunction of such a system, all data do not disappear, which is another valuable feature. The equipment has reserves to prevent the loss of valuable information. Given that all the data received are processed sufficiently quickly, these characteristics are valuable under conditions of intense activity and continuous operation. Nevertheless, despite a large number of advantages convenient for working in a constant communication mode, some difficulties in operation arise. In particular, users note interface challenges that cannot be adjusted to individual requirements. Also, an untrained employee is unlikely to be able to work with such equipment as productively as possible since its functionality is complex, and preliminary training is a crucial condition. The multi-step operations carried out by the system complicates control over all processes and may create difficulties in planning all types of activities. At the same time, compliance with the necessary system maintenance rules is mandatory. Otherwise, those
Potential Advantages and Disadvantage of Introducing the Meat Lab The advanced development of science and technology allows the world to face the problem of fast-growing population. Due to the salient increase in the meat consumption, integrating the laboratories for growing in vitro meat seems to be reasonable. On the one hand, the production of the lab meat can satisfy the extreme demand for protein. On the other hand, the cultured product differs much from that grown in nature due to the absence of necessary microbes protecting the immune system. The latter can be solved in case antibiotics are introduced, but this innovation requires significantly higher costs, which might not justify the overall production of artificial protein. With regard to the above-presented advantages and shortcomings, producing meat in laboratories can threaten to human health because of the possibility of creating a genetically modified product. The natural environment is much more appropriate for sustaining human wellbeing. The laboratory conditions for producing cultured meat are not fully appropriate because most of cells are taken from rats, humans, and rhesus monkeys. Certainly, “culturing embryonic stem cells would be ideal for this purpose since these cells have an…infinite self-renewal capacity” (Bartholet 65). To extract such cells is impossible without killing an animal, or doing harm to them. Moreover, producing artificial meat does not ensure a microbe free environment and, a result, any contamination is a serious threat to the experiment. In addition, there are no analogues of this kind of meat production in the world, which does not contribute to its reliability. Unlike the lab meat, the production of natural meat is not so sophisticated and, therefore, it is more cost-effective. What is more important is that breeding domestic animals in an ecologically safe environment guarantees production of high quality meat. It is also possible to grow cattle and poultry at the specialized factories, doing no harm to the natural environment and excluding the threats to the human health. Ensuring sufficient nutrition for livestock also alleviates the potential risk of producing a genetically modified product. Establishing strict standards of quality production is also a guarantor of good meat. Unlike the laboratory production of meat, the traditional techniques are less dangerous to nature because they do not involve use of specific technological processes. Ethical and environmental concerns with producing artificial meat are also under the question. People are aware of the potential threats of producing food in laboratory conditions because the product might lead to serious disorders and diseases, including cancer. Therefore, the idea of cultured meat can be justified as soon as meat will go through all known tests and inspections. Bartho
Company Background Apple is a multinational corporation from America that is in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling personal computers, software and consumer electronics. Its headquarters are based in Cupertino, California. The company was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976. It is unimaginable that both gentlemen were college drop-outs. Consequently, many people in the society did not want to associate with them. Until early nineties, the company had made great strides in coming up with best personal computers in the market. Such brands included Macintosh, Apple brand, Power Mac computers, iLife, iWork, iTunes browser, iPhones and software (Linzmayer, 31). Product Opportunities The company applies proper marketing tactics and majority of adverts are conducted online. The unique feature with the adverts is an ability to use familiar terms instead of difficult ones; therefore, they are easily understood. The pricing strategy makes the products almost two times expensive relatively (Linzmayer, 33). However, the fulfillment consumers derive out of it justifies the price. As the company kept on growing, its products drastically improved. Currently, everyone in the technological market talks about Apple since the company is well-known for innovation. Some of the factors that Apple has enjoyed and boosted its growth include customer loyalty and the growing closed ecosystem. Earlier, closed ecosystem has been a setback for business, but currently it supports the operations. Apple now possesses a variety of applications, products and software. Production of new products and supplements at a fast rate has expanded the ecosystem. In addition, strong loyalty from clients gives Apple a competitive edge. Another reason that serves as a plus to the Apple Company is the reality that it has strong financial backbone (Hitt,43). Apple Company is one of the leading organizations in terms of profitability. By the end of year 2012, it was estimated that the company had $10,000,000,000, with gross profit margin totaled to be 43.9%, which was far greater than its competitors’ financial indicators. Extra cash is channeled into business activities like acquisitions, purchasing back of the company shares among other things. Innovation in mobile handsets technology plays a crucial role in a success of the company. In 2012, for the third time, Apple was awarded as the most innovative company in the world. As a result, the organization has capacity to bring technologically innovative products t
Social Performance Business organizations are legal entities. Therefore, they may enter into contracts, own property, sue or be sued (Bouchoux, 2009). Organizations may engage in illegal activities. Therefore, since organizations are legal entities, the government or various parties may sue the organizations. Technically, it is impossible to imprison an organization. The sentencing guidelines provide a mechanism for convicting organizations that contravene various laws. This necessitates organizations to monitor their social performance. Failure to monitor the social performance would not only make the organization liable to expensive lawsuits, but would also tarnish the image and reputation of the company. Therefore, most organizations have a code of conduct that ensures that their activities are above board. The code of conduct governs the activities of employees of the organization. The code of conduct ensures the smooth running of the operations of an organization. Cellcom is a wireless telecommunications provider that has its headquarters in the Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company provides mobile phone telephone services to members of the public using CDMA technology. However, Cellcom does not currently have an ethics program. This puts the company at risk of facing expensive lawsuits or tarnishing of the image and reputation of the company. Therefore, it is vital for the company to develop a code of conduct. AT&T, one of the leading telecommunications company in the US, has one of the best ethics program in the industry. The code of conduct dictates that employees of the company should act with integrity. The code of conduct also states that there should be no conflict of interest between an employee’s professional duty and personal interests. In addition, the code of ethics requires employees to comply with all existing federal or state legislation that governs the activities of the company. This ensures that the code of ethics is always up to date regardless of changes in l
