In the modern times, the world has become a global village and people are connected more than ever before. Today, people depend on the internet to do almost everything. Individuals are using modern technology to communicate and to run businesses. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have exploded in the last few years (Watters, 2012). Children and adolescents have also become exceedingly active on social networking sites to communicate with friends and hook up with different people all over the world. Undoubtedly, the internet is playing a significant role in everybody’s life, and children have not been left behind. Although, the internet has much to offer, there are certain risks involved. This paper will discuss the potential threats of social networking sites to children. Criminal elements Social networking sites can expose children to criminals (Roderic, 2006). Although Facebook and Twitter among other social networking sites are primarily designed for socialization, there are many users who are on these social sites for different reasons. There are many nice people on social networking sites, but those who have bad motives also do exist. Children are exposed, and criminals are targeting the most vulnerable groups in the society (Roderic, 2006). Because children and adolescents post a lot of information about themselves, social networking sites, especially Facebook, Twitter, and My Space have become heaven for internet predators (Roderic, 2006). Children are usually excited to share about their hobbies, friends, schools, their physical appearance, and their phone numbers among other exceptionally sensitive information. Such information mostly is read by criminals. When a child says that he will be at a certain place during a specific time, such criminals take advantage either to kidnap children or harass them. Sexual content Social networking sites can expose children and adolescents to content that is only meant for adults (Watters, 2012). It is now clear that social networks are just more than socializing. In recent times, adolescents, youths and adults have become active on the social networking sites. Some people are using the social networking sites to advertise while others are doing illegal business on the same sites. However, some individuals usually post statuses that can cause emotional damage, especially when accessed by children. It is clear that, most social networking sites, especially Facebook provides facilities that allow users to post images and videos (Roderic, 2006). According to Watters (2012) some people are extremely sensitive, but others have bad motives and they only post images that are destructive to children. In fact, research has shown that big percent of images found on most social networking sites are sexual graphics. Even if your child has not posted such images,
First of all, it would be necessary to underline, that Mesoamerica, or Middle America, is a term that is often used by archaeologists to define a geographic region within whose frames a separate cultural arrangement burgeoned in Pre-Columbian times. Such eminent cultures as the Olmec, Classic Maya, Toltec, and Aztec augmented, flourished, and collapsed in this archaeologically famed area. In this episode, we look at the rise and expansion of compound nations and communities in this cultural region. It is necessary to keep in mind that Mesoamerica wraps a much lesser territory. It also seems to have displayed more educational unity over a 3000-year epoch than did the region from Anatolia to the Indus. In spite of these basic dissimilarities, although, some noticeably comparable developmental prototypes typify the early stages of farming and the later rise of civilizations in both the Old and New World areas. Prehistoric civilization first appeared in Mesoamerica about 1200 B.C. between the Olmecs on the Gulf Coast of the current Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco. As it is argued, the Olmecs soon started enhancing their authority to other parts of Mexico, into Guatemala, Honduras, and Salvador, even as far south as Costa Rica. It is about this time period, certainly by 1000 B.C., that we can say the Mesoamerican civilization area (or better yet, the Mesoamerican civilizational scheme) starts its own existence. Over the past twenty years, lots of researchers have investigated the probable links between Venezuelan rock art and the Venezuelan ethnic groups, working at the issues of symbols in civilization. The researches have been directed as well toward the structure and substantiation of endings based on ethnographic works on the cosmogonic and cosmological schemes of the former Venezuelan Indians, with their legends and the Indians who are still alive. Whenever probable, this has been created by contrasting these ideas with the outcomes of archaeological and anthropological study mannered in this country from the XIX century beyond. These researches have also relied on bibliographical bases from raconteurs of the XVI and XVII centuries. Finally, we compared samples of rock art with a possible astronomical depiction, keeping in mind that the previous makers or actors of the rock art are no more amongst us, and, of course, we are also conscious of the fact that, in our analysis at the present time, we can only anticipate attaining a current explanation of those forms left as rock pictures and petroglyphs. The most discernible characteristic of all Mesoamerican writings is the exceedingly complicated and symbolic form of symbols. They are often named “hieroglyphic” in analogy to Egyptian hieroglyphs as their signs are highly graphic. For this reason, a sign from Mesoamerican scripts is often called a “glyph”, a
Introduction Nowadays, most baby boomers born during the post-World War II baby boom from 1946-1964 are retiring. According to the Bay Area Medical Practice, 40% of its patients are baby boomers (57 to 75 years old); thus, an elaborated marketing plan is needed for the customers. The world has changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and new trends in healthcare should be considered. In this paper, three recommendations will be considered: providing additional hearing aid services via telemarketing, promoting active leisure time for baby boomers, and emphasizing later education. Main body To begin with, after the pandemic, baby boomers became increasingly interested in telemarketing, especially in video calls, over health issues. Williams and Leppla (2021) suggest that to address such a trend, “audiologists may conduct hearing aid fine tuning and troubleshooting over video calls” (p. 50). Thus, the product is the audiologists’ services over the hearing aids’ tuning. The place for this product must be television or websites, so that baby boomers will easily get recommended the services and supply them at their homes. Accordingly, promotion should also concern telemarketing; for instance, audiologists’ websites might be sugges
It is risky to communicate with people who are invisible, and the organization has to take precaution of its internal marketing information in order to remain within legal realms of doing business. As opined in the article, “marketing channel conflicts management”, the enterprise should meet all the legal and ethical consideration while using the internet to reach out to the target population. The organization should not use any offensive or abusive words because this can reduce the volume of sales (Brian, 2012). Reflectively, the fashion industry is very sensitive and the internet can help reach out to the market effectively. The advantage of internet communication is that it has no geographical barriers. In FUBU Company, customers use blogs to express their ideas, thoughts, and conflict with the Company. For instance, as indicated in the article, a customer in Dallas reported the company to the marketing regulatory authority over confidentiality lapse. Upon ordering and paying a pair of suit online, the customer received the wrong size of the suit. Though he has since received the right size, his complaint was the time wasted by the company. Thus, speak out loud is a forum that enables members to share their knowledge and views on a particular subject. Finally, your opinion matters are used by web based stores to give potential clients an opportunity of reading user reviews before consuming a specific product while ensuring legality in trade (Koufaris, 2002). Creation of content is extremely essential when dealing with internet marketing communication within the fashion industry. It is necessary to determine the online behavior of the target market before selecting the best channel for internet marketing to minimize issues of illegality in trade. The fashion industry web content may be in the form of press releases and articles among other internet content platforms as indicated in the article. Most customers of high fashion brands are aware of pace in the industry and enterprises should be careful with their content. The content should be given time to enhance its online presence by constantly updating information on current product trends as indicated at the FUBU Store in America. There are various types of internet communication technology applied by the FUBU Store. These include social networking, online phone calls, blogs and Vlogs, emails, speak out loud and your opinion matters among others. This means that all users who are part of the browse site have access to all communication. The main provider of online phone calls is the skype.com website, and users download the software for communication purposes. There is no way an individual can understand the concept of online branding without having an understanding of a brand. This comes up by identifying the design, slogan, logo of the parent company. FUBU Store utilizes the internet while undertaking online branding activities. The internet is an integral part of online branding within the fashion industry (Bert, 2011). There are a few tips that are vital during the design of an effective online branding strategy. The first t
Research Question and Introduction Does Africa interact with the diaspora culturally? Dispersion of people around the world is a fundamental factor in exchange of idea and skills. It is through migration that the world became more interactive and made significant discoveries. Most people appreciate the fact that there are separations in humanity between races, traditions, tribes, geographical regions, believes, cultures, attitudes and nutrition among others. These factors lead to the designation of a distinct access to knowledge, abilities and living strategies. Culture is one of the most critical factors that would describe these distinctions. We, therefore, expect that people become learners when they arrive to a new area with new cultures (Hall, 1997). Also, they take their cultures with them to present it to other people. The question above seeks to investigate the strategies in which Africa presents its culture in the diaspora. In this respect, we can assume that Africa does not interact with the diaspora culturally. However, we cannot device strategies to prove this. Therefore, we have to perform a study involving a hypothesis that Africa interacts with the diaspora culturally. In a bid to perform this study, we can assess Institute of Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) with an aim of evaluating how it raises its identity in the diaspora. Institution Chosen ICD devised strategies and programs to facilitate Africa’s socialisation and economy improvement. The title of the program is ‘Experience Africa’ Program (EAP). The program (EAP) enhances cultural interactions within and outside Africa. This institution unites international stakeholders, assesses salient features and links people with similar interests. The institution accomplishes this unity by operating academic events, conferences and tours. The goals listed below presents the institutional directives.  1. Promotion of development in African socialization especially in healthcare and education  2. Improving the relationships between African state and their cultural groupings  3. Initiation and development of intact relationships internationally  4. Creation of strategies to attract tourists, investors and trading merchants  5. Boosting the relationships of Africa’s diaspora communities ICD uses a variety of strategies in trying to enhance these goals. In the following paragraphs, we will evaluate these strategies enabling the accomplishment of their goals. Programs The programs facilitating ICD development divides into the following parts;  1. Young Leaders Forums  2. Human Rights Initiatives  3. Academy for Cultural Diplomacy  4. ICD Thematic Programs. ICD Young Leaders Forums This program unites people with similar interests and arms them into making improvement of the cultural relationship throughout the world (Institute for Cultural Diplomacy 2012). The relationship could be between areas, countries or the globe. Different countries or regions interact culturally and strengthen the relationships existing in day to day operation. It has several forms of operations involving interactions by areas,
The Western Roman Empire was one of the parts of the Roman Empire, located on the west, with its capital Mediolanum, now known as Milan. There were several periods of the Western Roman Empire’s existence, and the abdication of Romulus Augustus was the final reason of the Western Roman Empire’s official fall. After that empire announced its end, a new era began, and it was called the Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages, the period when the Islamic world changed considerably and Islamic traditions became more and more significant and recognizable by the whole world (Stearns & Langer, 101). However, lots of other problems in political and cultural spheres took place, as lots of people wanted to present own rules and traditions. If the Western Roman Empire had survived even in a shrunken form because of Italian influence and pressure, the development of European and Islamic cultures and their history would have changed considerably: the role of churches would not have been so significant as it had been during the Middle Ages and the Middle Asia would not have learnt Islamic culture on a profound level. The fall of the Western Roman Empire was the most noticeable signal for the start of the Early Middle Ages. When the Empire lost its power and influence over other countries and nations, it turned into one more decentralized region of Europe. This collapse gave a green light for the development of many other religions and the possibility to occupy the territory of the Western Roman Empire for other tribes and nations. The point is that the Western Roman Empire was a kind of split of several different traditions and religions. The Romans felt the power to unite everything and not to share with other countries. However, the collapse of the Western Roman Empire led to the division of certain common ideas and interests and created more opportunities for other religions to develop and spread over the whole world. So, this fall of one of the greatest empires in the world during the Ancient Ages caused numerous changed and provided other nations with an opportunity to spread and gain recognition. Now, it is high time to imagine what could happen to all European and Islamic countries, if the Western Roman Empire had continued its existence, even in a shrunken form. Well, first of all, the role of churches was not widely spread over the world, and the Middle Ages were not so popular because of its religious aspects. Even more, it is hardly to imagine whether the Middle Ages started in the middle of the 5 th century. Another significant point is the spread of Islam over the other countries of the Central Asia. Such countries as Uzbekistan and Afghanistan would not have heard about Islam and its rules concerning the matter of devotion to own nation a
Introduction LVMH is a luxury brand that is famous around the world. It was created in 1987 and boasts 50 luxurious brands that have a unique history and culture. The main aim of the organization is to improve its profitability in the industry. It also ensures that the authenticity of its brands remains at the highest possible levels while meeting its goals. Although LVMH started as an international company, it lacked human resource managers with international expertise. This led to the company choosing to invest in ensuring that it is able to acquire these types of managers in order to ensure the development and growth of the organization. Most of the companies that comprise LVMH are located in France. The group is structured around five business groups where each consists of several strong brands. The group has 50 companies which in turn have 450 subsidiaries. These companies run almost independently where each has its own president and an executive committee which makes decisions about some of the activities of the company. LVMH International Mobility Program The main features of the LVMH International mobility program include the idea that the company held. The company believed that the development of its managers was not through subjecting them to formal training but by increasing their mobility. This means that the managers moved to different countries and interacted with new environments to aid in their development. They were also subjected to new challenges and experiences which enabled them to be able to cope with the current changing needs of the business environment. The company believed that staying in the same geographical region and being subjected to the same challenges and environment does not result in the development of the managerial skills of an individual. The company also did not support the development of experts from outside their areas of expertise in regions that are outside their home areas. This is because the company believed that allowing this to happen will not be beneficial to the company and instead it will only benefit the person involved. The company also found out that promoting the practice will not be cost-effective as far as the company’s economic front. The experts who are accorded mobility, therefore, are given this on the basis of their carrier paths and are only subjected to tests that will be helpful in their development in their field of study. Exceptions however exist but the overall intention is to ensure the development of the person in training and therefore benefit the company. The company also ensured that it offered exciting career development prospects as opposed to economic incentives. The company was in a position to offer economic incentives and also the package that they offered was amongst the be
By saying political systems we generally mean the system of a government in one particular nation or state. They are two forms of governing system namely, the centralized form of government and decentralized form of government. Centralized political system In this form of government, governing activities are organized in a centralized area or comes from headquarter, and decisions are made from the central government where political powers concentrate on a few individuals and the funding of its activities comes from overall generated revenues. A centralized government covers a large geographical area (a nation or a state) and it has a large capacity of its population compared to a decentralized government. Although the ownership of land is regarded as private, the government has the right of authorization where it issues title deeds to the private owners. In this system, the government regulates the expenses of every district and considers uniformity in the service delivery. ( Walrath 253) Decentralized Government The decentralization form of government adopts a devolution form of government where administration and distribution of resources are taken closer to people. The local communities are given powers to decide on the development angle to take through the locally elected people. This enables the elected authority to understand better its people and people to know more about their leaders resulting in effective political representatives. Unlike the centralized form of government where authorities and orders are received from the above-decentralized government allows local people to rule themselves, additionally, decentralization covers a smaller geographical region let say a district or county where the population is relatively lower compared to a country. In this case, the public land is controlled by the local authorities discouraging national government interference. The family acts as the smallest unit of government in a state or a county and is highly respected. (Walrath 247). Works Cited Walrath, Dana, and McBride, Bu Haviland.

Jean-Francois Lyotard was a French sociologist, philosopher and a literary theorist. He remains one of the most prominent philosophers of the twentieth century. This scholar was interested in defining the current society in the context of modernity. This scholar noted that the world has changed a greatly, and there are factors that did not exist before which exist in the modern society. This scholar focused his study on post modernity. The world today, according to this scholar, has advanced in various fronts. He looks at the factors that are brought about by post modernity. Modernity has brought about a number of changes in society. In fact, social problems in society today are attributed to modernity. A modern society is full of technological changes implying that humanity relies on technology heavily. In this regard, all aspects of life rely on technology. This scholar defines postmodernism in respect to modernity. When the world adopted the aspects of modernity, a number of factors came into existence. Of interest was the fact that the society came to accept the importance of painting. Painting was considered an extremely valuable art that was used to pass given information. Such prestigious places as the church heavily depended on paintings to communicate to its audience. This scholar notes that leaders of the church could explain their ideas through the word of mouth. However, other details could only be explained through painting. For instance, people were convinced that God was a significant being that was seen by a few exceptional individuals in the past. Moreover, it is recorded that he came in different forms and, therefore, it was impossible to come up with his image. However, it was recorded in the bible that Jesus lived amongst us. People would want to see an image of Jesus and other saints. It was only through paintings that such an image could be reproduced. Postmodernism seems to change this pierce of art. The world is no longer a place where people cherish painting. Photography seems to have thoroughly overtaken painting as a form of imaging. People currently rely on photos to present their images. It is not only easy and less time consuming, but also more accurate than the baroques that existed in the old era. Another factor that has characterized postmodernism, according to Lyotard is literature. Modernity saw
