“Trauma is the number one public health crisis in our county” Trauma is an emotional response attributed to past events such as natural disasters, rape, or accident. I agree that trauma is among the crisis that faces public health orientation. The phenomenological outlook of trauma is characterized by an extreme sense of having less power in the form of expectations or beliefs. People who have faced trauma are victims of circumstances. Therefore, such people have fewer self-defense mechanisms, and their life direction has disappeared. It also increases the chances of feeling low self-esteem hence making them have a shuttered autonomy. Many people have trauma developmental problems such as stress, violent behaviors, low self-worth, and differential ecological outlook. To make such negativity disappear from their minds, they are forced to self-reclaim in drug abuse or other wrongdoings. Trauma has made others commit suicide, and some have ended up in prison. It is fundamental for the country to treat people who have faced trauma by reducing the repercussions. The Christian view of how to seek emotional well-being Many people are aligned according to their spiritual conformity or their cultural understanding. Christianity has a major role in ensuring that people have a good understanding of their well-being. As a Christian, I can ideologically posit that various religions work towards curbing trauma in one way or the other. For instance, in case of a natural disaster, Christians work towards housing the affected families or giving them basic needs. In so doing, the Christians are trying to reduce the chances of such families having mental problems. The role of the Christian community is to ensure people are governed by good thoughts and helping those that seem to deviate from the spectrum of well-being.
Nowadays, people are often exposed to various influences that positively and negatively affect their consciousness. These sources include music, which is an integral part of life. Cook notes that music, like no other art, can influence mood (11). All musical works can be conditionally divided into activating and, relaxing, and soothing. Cheerful and energetic music, influencing the human psyche, replaces sadness with joy and optimism. In turn, calm and smooth music will help relax and calm down, distract from everyday worries, reduce the number of thoughts and focus on self-regulation. Slow and relaxing music affects a person like a sleeping pill. For example, after a hard busy day, the first thing I do when I cross the house threshold is turn on my favorite songs to relax. On the contrary, in the morning, I turn on upbeat and rhythmic music that helps to wake up and energize me for the whole day. Classical music comprehensively influences a person, including such recognized geniuses as Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and Schumann. On the one hand, classical music has a relaxing effect, relieves fatigue, soothes, and improves mood and sleep. On the other hand, it increases the ability for intellectual activity and even strengthens the body’s immune defenses. According to Cook, classical music is played by employees in some companies because it affects the brain, making a person work much better (32). It is noteworthy that it does not distract but rather allows one to concentrate. However, such activities as listening to music should not be protracted. It can negatively affect the human psyche. If the melody is too loud, or the genre is not acceptable, then it will be perceived as extraneous noise, destructively affecting his general condition. I have repeatedly noticed that when I am somewhere where unpleasant music is playing, I become nervous, anxious, and worried. Thus, a person can control his emotions, and physical and mental state thanks to a suitable selection of melodies that benefit the body. Selectivity will help avoid negative and harmful effects on health and charge with positive energy. Work Cited Cook, Nicholas. Music: A Very Short Introduction . Oxford University Press, 2021.
Marketing mix entails a combination of marketing activities such as production; distribution, promotion, and pricing that are controlled by firms to enable it meet the needs of customers being targeted. Goods and services are conveniently availed at favorable prices to customers who are well informed about the firm and the product itself. Generally, marketing mix facilitates satisfying exchange relationship between the producing firm and the purchasers of the firm’s products (Belohlavek 13) Target market may include large or small groups of customers in the local or global market that seeks a single or multiple products to satisfy their needs. Marketing mix is to some extent the same as marketing strategy although marketing mix does not put into consideration external factors such as economic, technological, legal and statutory, socio-cultural, competition and political forces in the environment. Approaches of Preparing a Case Study Preparing a marketing case study of a new product may at times be challenging and demanding thus the need to follow systematic steps to achieve positive results for the product market. New products are marketed using desirable approaches to establish a strong consumer base and generate revenue for the product in the targeted market. In marketing a new product, the following sections are important for successful penetration into the market: The first step is researching extensively for information about competitors and the kind of products, customers, and strategies they have in the market. Irrespective of whether the new product is unique or similar to those of competitors, extensive research about competitors and their product is vital for successful marketing strategy implementation. The firm may compare its products with those of the competitors to improve its approach for marketing its new product. Comparison can be done by impersonating the consumers of the products of competitors in questioning and comparing products as customers will do when making their purchases. The second step is researching for information concerning the target markets of the new product. Information about consumer target groups is vital for the understanding of consumer patterns and behaviors with respect to existing and new products in the market. When new products are being launched into the market, firms should be in a position to establishing the characteristics individuals believed to have the likelihood of purchasing the new products. The characteristics of consumer groups that purchase similar items enable the firm to capitalize on additional features of the new product. Additional features of the new products play a very important role in attracting consumer groups who have interest in si
America is a very religious country and a country of many religions. According to Butler, Wacker & Balmer (2009), 90 % of Americans believe in God or a supreme being. The fact of religious diversity finds its roots in the bright immigration history of this country and encouraged values of multiculturalism and diversity. Today, America diversity represents many religions from all over the world, such as Protestantism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism and other. This paper aims to explore the impact of Islam, Hindu, and Buddhism on the diversity in America today and answer the question what role they are playing in the society. According to the research by the Pew Research Center (2014), religions like Islam, Hindu, Buddhism and Judaism include only 6% of total American population. Thus, these religions cannot seriously influence the majority of Christians in the country. However, Islam has become a hot topic of debates in recent times. There are many reasons for that, such as the rise of ISIS, a European migration crisis, and series of brutal terrorists attacks by fundamental radical Islamists in recent twenty years. Despite the fact that there is a big gap between Islam as a religion and radical terrorism, many people today make an assumption of their equality. Likewise, the question of immigration and Muslim refugees today is a compulsory theme of US presidential rally. There are many views on that issue from Trump’s desire to ban Muslim immigrants to Obama’s wish of uniting against a common enemy. The same question is in all European news and among EU leaders who cannot find a consensus of how to manage this problem. Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism take a small but growing share in the religious pattern of America. These religions have a serious impact on the development of American culture and society. For instance, Hinduism was one of the major inspirations of the New Age movement. Likewise, there are many followers of the Indian culture and Hindu practices who like yoga, meditation, and other mental practices. According to Ankerberg & Weldon (2011), Hinduism has a big influence on college campuses, schools of psychology, and transpersonal schools. Thus, Seager (2012) mentions that Buddhism “due to its size and complexity, is unlikely to have an immense impact over the long term” (p.158). However, both Hinduism and Buddhism have many followers, and the number of them continuously rises. There are many misconceptions of recognizing these religions by Americans. First, many people believe that the majority of Islamic Muslims have Arab nationality. In many cases, it is not true. For instance, the biggest Muslim country in the world is Indonesia. Thus, both Buddhism and Hinduism religions today are represented i
Greek is one of the countries with stable political circles. Its banking system is also stable compared to many other European countries. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it’s free from the looming economic crisis in Europe and elsewhere in the world. One of the reasons why the Greeks banking system is not greatly affected by the crisis is because it invested more in turkey Russia and Ukraine which have not been affected greatly but if these economies fail, things may change for the worse. The buying capacity of the average consumer as well as the cash flow of many businesses in Greek have been shattered by the strategy of keeping deposit rates low and loans very expensive. This makes business in Greek very expensive and hard to maintain. Importers have problems paying for the goods. The country has a great financial deficit – in fact, the second-highest in Europe after Italy-of around 13.9 percent, and research shows that the figure is likely to move upwards. This crisis has attracted strikes from civil servants. Greek struggles to cope with a great debt of $406 billion and it still needs to borrow to meet the budget deficit. This affects the local consumers and investors and the greatest hit are the Europea
Introduction An MBA course is a field of study that enables students to learn various issues regarding business administration (Anson 2011). The term MBA is an abbreviation of Masters of Business Administration. Students taking this course must have other foundational skills in this field, and this should be related to business studies. An undergraduate student pursuing a business subject can advance his studies by taking an MBA course after meeting its minimal entry requirements (Kaufman 2012). The Importance of MBA Courses An MBA program increases an individual’s knowledge in this field and enables the learner to offer quality professional services to clients. This program enables learners to study real-life issues that affect the activities of businesses in modern societies. Undergraduate courses offer training and education on theoretical aspects of businesses, and this may not have significant impacts in transforming the performance of organizations (Garnesby 2013). However, an MBA course allows learners to understand the challenges that affect businesses. Secondly, most people find it difficult to change their careers, especially those that major in business subjects (Asacker 2013). Most institutions do not offer learners opportunities to specialize in subjects, and this reduces their chances of having an in-depth understanding of various issues in their professions. However, taking an MBA course enables students to specialize in various fields, including banking, consultancy, and human resource (Griffin 2009). This enables learners to change and specialize in various subjects depending on their career prospects. MBA programs enable students to specialize in different fields, and this means that they will be satisfied with their jobs. Most employees do not perform well because they do not like their jobs. These programs enable learners to prepare for real-life issues that affect their areas of specialization (Anson 2011). The banking systems of most nations are changing, and this means that people serving in this sector must have practical knowledge and experience to manage these transformations. There is no way undergraduates can solve practical issues in management or finance without having adequate knowledge regarding the practices and trends of this subject (Garnesby 2013). Also, everybody wants to get a good job that pays well and has flexible routines. People believe that individuals that advance their training get higher salaries than those that have a degree (Griffin 2009). Employers use employees’ academic qualification
Science and engineering principles have been applied in real-life situations in an attempt to find permanent solutions to specific problems that face humanity. The science of energy engineering seeks to focus on technologies for efficient and resourceful energy conversion and utilization targeting to meet the critical global challenge of sustainable supply and safe energy in the growing geopolitical uncertainty. Energy conversion, for instance, is a foundational activity that is very critical in mechanical engineering now and even in the past. “At first it was the steam engines, then a graduation to internal combustion systems of engines followed by the gas turbines and a further development to apply the science of low-temperature refrigeration” (qt. in Smith, p. 215). Modern research is focused on the issues affecting contemporary society. Since most of the machines developed in the earlier centuries, like the combustion engine, were dependant on fossil fuel for their efficient running, it is obvious that the existing fossil fuel deposits are bound to be depleted due to overexploitation to meet the ever-increasing demand for this precious commodity. For this reason, there must be a shift to other energy forms which must be more reliable in terms of sustainability and also more environmentally friendly. “The adverse, unfavorable effects of the increasingly warming globe as a result of pollution, especially from the by-product emitted during energy conversion in fossil fuels, must then be put into consideration by coming up with better engineering technologies” (qt. in Singer 23). This is indeed essential for the survival of humanity and of course the co-existence with the other part of the eco-system. Many engineers have in the recent past worked towards the realization of mankind’s most prioritized technological challenges. This has led to the diversification of engineering technology expanding research in solar, geothermal, and wind power systems. “Alternative sources of power like thermoelectricity, electrochemical cells, and fuel cells have been greatly exploited in the recent past” (Lawrence, pp. 5-23). Currently, engineering research spans over diverse technical fields ranging from the old combustion engines to hybrid engines, electronics, and their thermal management, energy-efficient construction of buildings, ocean energy, and other attributed aspects of nuclear energy. This intensive research process is usually accompanied by great creativity and synthesis of elaborate engineering designs with fundamental scientific principles of computation, experimentation, and analysis being applied The engineering field of energy and technology involves using the already acquired skills to appropriately convert, produce, transfer, distribute and effectively use energy. Mankind demand for reliable and clean energy is incredibly increasing and since diverse forms of energy
Introduction Managing change within an organization entails the integration of essential plans and effective implementation strategies. The current world has experienced rapid changes in business management as a result of the recent technological advancements as well as changes in organizational cultures. However, change management is the responsibility of managers within an organization. Gronlund (2002) argues that the procedure involved in change management is often influenced by an interdependence of the following three magnitudes which include: technology, organizational perspective, and change model. This paper will provide a detailed discussion on the Responsibilities of managers to implement sudden, drastic organizational changes within their scope of responsibility in Direct TV business which is a direct broadcast satellite service based in El Segundo, California, whose function is to convey digital satellite TV and audio to households in the United States. Responsibilities of managers to implement sudden, drastic organizational changes Managers play a vital role in the implementation and management of sudden and drastic changes within the Direct TV business. Generally, the recent sudden changes that the managers have to implement within the Direct TV Company include technological transformations where the organization is found in possession of computers that are meant for record keeping, communication through the internet as well as the performance of management functions conduction. Also, owing to the fact that technology has changed drastically, the organizational perspective experiences the same in an urge for the continuity of the business. More over, the direct TV business experiences changes in change management models; frameworks that would suitably drive the change implementation and management strategies. At the same time, the managers ensure effective utilization and maximization of available resources (Gronlund, 2002). Implementation change within Direct TV depends on the commitment of the operational managers in its various departments. Therefore, the managers have the responsibility to make sound and informed decisions regarding change management. Additionally, the Direct TV managers are charged with the role of informing their departmental employees of their intended purposes as well as the importance of the purposes to enhance full participation. More over, they are required to provide quality interpretations, communicate healthily and act as enablement factors for their employees to work effectively towards the achievement of the intended goals. However, the manager’s functions would fail whenever the implementation of change is imposed or directly instructed to th
The issue of violent video games has raised major controversies among different stakeholders for a long period now. The root cause of this controversy emanates from the fact that violent video games can affect the child’s aggression, significantly. This issue has raised a critical debate that has lasted for a long time. However, the two sides have not reached to an agreement. Many researchers have taken many studies on this issue. Some have found that video games have an impact on the children while others have proposed that there is nothing wrong with playing the same. Some of them have also come to the conclusion that some children can be affected while others cannot be affected by playing these games. These differences have led to controversies over the issue. Although various attempts has been made to come up with a consensus, there is no effective conclusion that has been done on the impact of the long term effect of violent video games and the long term implications on individual’s behavior. There are several players who are involved in this controversy. We have some concerned parents and legislators on one side and the video game manufacturers on the other. For instance, many concerned parents as well as legislators are determined to promote the restriction of the sale of these video games to minors. Policy makers play a significant role in this debate because they determine the measures taken against (and for) the issue. They have come up with a number of measures in order to legally restrict the minors from accessing violent games. On the other hand, the video games manufacturers have been arguing otherwise. The opponents of the video games have been arguing that these games can significantly increase aggression in individuals. According to the study conducted by Bushman and Gibson, violent video game can increase aggression long after the game is off especially among the men (Bushman & Gibson 22). Gibson and Bushman have carried several studies on the psychological issues that affect behavior. Their study is therefore important in understanding the issue at hand. In their study, 20 students were let to play video games half of which were violent and half non-violent. The results indicated that there was no difference in aggressiveness in both categories. However, the men who were made to think about the game became more viol
The perception of the self, according to Socrates explains the nature of man and the rationale on which man thinks. Socrates believed that, man is a product of his thoughts. Socrates questioned the way we attach importance to what people say without understanding the principle of individual thinking. The capacity of a man is a product of the self in him; this formed the basis of Socrates argument. He emphasized that; man must believe in his or her principles and should not follow the wagon effect of the society. We find ourselves in situations that will require our careful examination, but we often accept what people say on the issue. Socrates proposed that logical thoughts would be more productive than accepting a patterned way of doing things. The product of logical thinking is a patterned thought which is not influenced by the majority. To further his arguments, Socrates proposed a method of logical thinking. He believed that this would help each person evaluate his or her actions and thoughts based on the strength of logical thinking (Noe 4).  1. Critically examine people’s comment and assumption: The common belief should be subjected to examination. The belief that it pays to work hard or that marriage makes a man responsible.  2. Put forward a reversal to these statements: It is true that the society follows fashioned assumptions. One should be able to find a reversal to these assumptions. Provide a proof that man can be responsible without being married, and show that hard work do not always pay in the end. These reversals to a patterned way of life will help an individual build his or her confidence.  3. There are no credible statements than yours: When you are able to fine the reversals to the statements, you will conclude that many statements and assumptions are misleading. This will help you build your confidence in logical thinking.  4. Formulate your statements from observations: The examination of logical thinking will provide the basis of new statements. Marriage can make a responsible man live happily and wrong work is different from hard work.  5. Develop yourself: Make it a habit to always examine the statements of people and find the reversal to those statements. The strength of a man is weighed by his actions and statements; this is the defining principle on which we must stand. Socrates argued that philosophy can be analyzed not only by the elites, but by the common man. The ability to make a statement devoid of what people think or say is a product of self. Socrates emphasized that the human soul is immortal and is a product of differ
