Global and Multicultural Education: Difference To encourage change in any area, one must launch a program that will affect the attitudes and behaviors of the target population. Although the existing options for comprehensive environmental programs, i.e., global and multicultural ones, share a number of characteristics, they, nevertheless, are strikingly different when it comes to choosing the approach for communicating a problem to the target audience. The global one is aimed primarily at embracing as many people as possible, whereas the multicultural one focuses on appealing to a larger variety of audiences (Banks, 2015). Put differently, while quantity is viewed as the key aspect of the global education process, it is the quality that is deemed as essential in the realm of the multicultural education. It would be wrong to claim that one should be preferred over another, though, as the report produced by the International Development Law Organization (2006) showcases that the two can be blended into a perfect strategy for promoting change in the environmental policies issued by the state authorities. For instance, the case points to the need to embrace as wide a range of audiences as possible to promote the further civil enforcement, which aligns with the principles of the global education framework (Hellmann, 2014). It is deemed as necessary to promote “Widening the standing provisions to encourage civil enforcement breaches to the act (open standing for civil enforcement)” (International Development Law Organization, 2006, p. 8). At the same time, the authors of the article delineate a multicultural approach toward building awareness among the representatives of as many cultures as possible: “The social and economic dimensions of such unsustainable practices should not be dismissed” (International Development Law Organization, 2006, p. 9). Thus, the case under analysis is an example of both the benefits and limitations of each approach, proving that they complement each other. Incorporating both global and multicultural aspects into the process of managing deforestation in Indonesia seems to be a very smart choice since it helps broaden the range of public that the program aimed at restoring the ecosystem of Indonesia can embrace. Environmental Law and Enforcement Workshop Addressing the issues faced by the government of Indonesia when handling the problem of deforestation and the increase in the levels of pollution must be viewed as a priority. By determining possible obstacles, one will be able to design an elaborate appr
I would consider myself a critical and logical thinker because I tend to be interested in discovering the underlying purpose of information, which I receive. From this point of view, the ability to adequately assess any data complemented by following specific patterns of thought, such as deduction or induction, is what defines such a person. These qualities positively correlate with one’s capability in discerning the motives of individuals or organizations, which pursue their own goals in providing citizens with their claims, which seem well-justified. Nevertheless, one’s actual interest in the matter is essential, and it can be ensured only if people can distinguish between their needs and instilled desires. Despite the fact that my abilities in this respect are sufficiently developed, I would still be able to improve them by taking into account significant changes in the environment. Thus, for example, the emergence of new techniques of misleading individuals, such as those used in advertisements, is followed by their further progress. In this situation, the need for keeping up with these shifts might be critical when one wants to remain a critical thinker who cannot be confused by others. As for an argument, as it is viewed from a logical standpoint, it is not the same as an attempt to aggressively prove the correctness of one’s position. This outcome might be possible, but it is not the purpose because it means presenting statements and defending them by supporting with the available evidence. In this case, any individual can select one or another stance and consequently gain enough information in this respect to logically explain the possibility of examining issues from the selected perspective. Considering these principles, an argument in this sense is one’s intention to find sufficient justification of an opinion for its further comparison with the ideas of opponents.
Anabolic steroids are a set of steroid hormones related to the male hormone testosterone. It is also known as anabolic-androgenic steroids. These steroids are used by many to build up muscles and increase their strength. However, these are known for several harmful effects on the human body. This paper intends to bring out the effect of anabolic steroids on the human body. As the name suggests anabolic means building up. Anabolic steroid is intended to boost protein synthesis inside the cells, as a result, the cellular mass, particularly of the muscle buildup. These steroids are also known to have androgenic and virilizing properties. For instance, anabolic steroids aid the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. It enhances the growth of the vocal cords and body hair. Since anabolic steroids are known for their properties of increasing muscle mass and physical strength these are very common among athletes and those involved in other sports activities and bodybuilding particularly to improve their strength, stamina, and physique. Studies have proven that the long-term or excessive dose of anabolic steroids has serious health risks such as changes in cholesterol levels, changes in the skin, hypertension, damage to the liver and its functions, and structural changes in the heart. Androgenic or Virilizing effect They affect the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. These can affect pubertal growth, sebaceous gland oil production, and sexuality particularly in the case of fetal development. Virilizing effects include growth of the clitoris in females and the penis in male children, increased male pattern of hair growth in the pubic, beard, chest, and limb hair areas, increased vocal cord size, deepening the voice, increased libido, suppression of natural sex hormones, and impaired production of sperm. Musculoskeletal system In recent years athletes and others abuse anabolic steroids to improve performance and also their physical appearance. However, the increased levels of testosterone, in general, trigger the growth spurt that occurs during puberty and adolescence. In normal cases when the concentration of these hormones crosses a limit, they signal the bones to stop growing. This is when the person attains his or her maximum height. The administration of anabolic steroids may signal the bones to stop growing much earlier than they normally would have done. This results in stunted growth. Impact on the Cardiovascular system Anabolic steroids such as testosterone are known for the increased risk of cardiovascular disease or coronary artery disease. These steroids directly elevate blood pressure, which is particularly risky in those with pre-existing hypertension. Secondly, they have harmful changes in cholesterol levels i.e. decreases HDL and increases LDL levels. Thirdly, anabolic steroids are also known to alter the structure of the heart by enlargement and thickening of the left ventricle. As a result of this, it can h
“The Summer I Was Sixteen” by Geraldine Connolly (Poem 34)  1. The turquoise pool rose up to meet us,  2. its slide a silver afterthought down which  3. we plunged, screaming, into a mirage of bubbles.  4. We did not exist beyond the gaze of a boy.  5. Shaking water off our limbs, we lifted  6. up from ladder rungs across the fern-cool  7. lip of rim. Afternoon. Oiled and sated,  8. we sunbathed, rose and paraded the concrete,  9. danced to the low beat of “Duke of Earl”. 10. Past cherry colas, hot-dogs, Dreamsicles, 11. we came to the counter where bees staggered 12. into root beer cups and drowned. We gobbled 13. cotton candy torches, sweet as furtive kisses, 14. shared on benches beneath summer shadows. 15. Cherry. Elm. Sycamore. We spread our chenille 16. blankets across grass, pressed radios to our ears, 17. mouthing the old words, then loosened 18. thin bikini straps and rubbed baby oil with iodine 19. across sunburned shoulders, tossing a glance 20. through the chain link at an improbable world. The main reason why I selected this poem is that it is full of expressive means and stylistic devices that tame it very poetic even despite the absence of rhyme or meter. Connolly’s poem illustrates the principles of poetry discussed in class readings. The word choices are precise and accurate, and the author uses imagery and metaphor a lot. Thus, “The Summer I Was Sixteen” is a perfect example of an “open form” poetry. The author exploits a variety of approaches that help the reader to visualize the actions taken place in the poem, as well as the people that perform these actions. Probably the biggest impressio
Introduction Using experiments is a useful tool of social scientists for them to enhance general understanding of the social scientific research logic. Socially the experimental process of collecting and analyzing data involves creates an interesting sentiment of casual study style where activities are laboratory oriented or even involve natural occurrences. This paper gives a brief summary of the topic “ethics and controlled experiments” that are associated with natural sciences. Although not commonly used, the controlled experimental technique has important logical values which are the basis for other commonly used techniques. Experimenting is the act of gathering information, analyzing, and making observations or conclusions. Social scientists indicate that all natural activities are undertaken experimentally (Babbie, 246). Socially controlled experiments are known to work better in well user defined research topics. Such subject matters contain well-defined concepts and proposition especially those involving hypothetical cases. They involve explanatory as opposed to descriptive procedures. Most research tends to take the laboratories procedure as opposed to regular social events setting. Components of the classical experiments The basic pairs of components involved in both natural and socially classical experiments include the independent and dependent variables, pre and post-testing, experimental and control groups. In line with Babbie (264), natural experiments involve putting people in unexpected situations or settings so as to find out how they would react. Whether present or not, an independent variable is a stimulant to dependent variable in an experiment. The experiment determines the effects of its presence or absence. The variables are limitless but they must be rationally defined say through observational methods. Like the words indicate, the pretest begins by testing the subject in terms of dependence and later independence variables. Post testing re-measures the subject with relation to dependent variables and the differences that are noted are then compared to independent variables. This method works under assumptions that a second time analysis of an experiment seem to make it more clearer and it is probably taken more keenly thus more accuracy is achievable. Unlike laboratory experiments, socially controlled experiments involve an experimental group to which a stimulant to be administered are observed. The observati
Executive Summary Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a considerable bother for healthcare authorities in Australia. CVDs are accountable for 14% of the total burden of diseases resulting in $10.4 billion of healthcare expenses (AIHW, 2019). CVDs are more prevalent in distant areas of the country due to decreased access to healthcare services. Swan Hill area in Victoria is an explicit illustration of the situation since its population experiences considerable difficulties in receiving appropriate heart care services. The matter may be significantly improved by the introduction of a clinical nurse educator (CNE) role in Swan Hill Primary Health Medical Centre (PHMC). The most efficient way to implement the project is by using the PEPPA framework. The potential stakeholders of the advanced practice nursing program include all patients of the PHMC, hospital personnel, including management, the community of the area, the public health sector, and the Australian Heart Foundation. A thorough analysis of the present model of care is the lack of CVD awareness and prevention program. A CNE can lead the modernisation of the current model to include the best evidence-based practices. The primary concern of the program should be health promotion and early detection of heart issues, better access to critical cardiac care, improved services, and system performance enhancement (Victoria State Government, n.d.). Therefore, the new model should include spreading awareness about the importance of heart health using visual aid on hospital grounds, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and arranging home visits and online consultations to patients living in remote areas. A CNE should utilise Roger’s diffusion of innovation theory (DOI) to create a coherent implementation plan for the new model of care. Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major concern for the Australian healthcare system due to the high rate of morbidity and mortality from its complications. According to the Australian Institution of Health and Welfare (AIHW, 2019), 1.2 million Australians aged 18 and above have one or more heart-related conditions. Heart conditions account for 14% of the total burden of diseases and $10.4 billion of yearly expenditures attributed by the Australian health system (AIHW, 2019). One of the reasons for the increased amount of adverse events is low access to qualified healthcare services in rural areas. The matter may be addressed by introducing advanced nursing practice in remote areas. The present paper proposes the introduction of a clinical nurse educator (CNE) role in Swan Hill hospital to reduce the number of CVD complications in the area. Importance of Advanced Nursing Practice Health care reformation has led to an increased need for advanced practice nurses (APNs). According to Bryant-Lukosius and DiCenso (2004), such professionals focus on m
GoDaddy Incorporation’s brand image has become less attractive and promising to its customers. The company markets customized web addresses to different businesspeople and individuals. The firm has been advertising its services using celebrities and risqué television adverts. Many customers associate GoDaddy’s Incorporation with web services for youths and celebrities. The image of GoDaddy Incorporation is that of “an internet bad-boy” (Olive and Demos 1). This image continues to discourage many customers such as Joymarie Parker. The company established this image using powerful TV adverts. The company has also stopped supporting the needs of its customers. These practices led to the establishment of the above image. GoDaddy has succeeded despite the challenges encountered by its customers. This fact explains why the company is planning to redefine its brand identity. The company wants to become a reliable business partner (Olive and Demos 1). This approach will support the goals of its customers. The firm will also make small enterprises more successful and productive. The firm will have to redefine its brand image. GoDaddy Incorporation should use powerful adverts in order to support the targeted brand image. Such advertisements should encourage more customers to work hard. The company should also get rid of its risqué television adverts. The targeted customers should associate the firm with success, positive customer support, and seriousness. The new image of GoDaddy will be that of “professionals working hard to achieve their business potentials” (Olive and Demos 1). This approach will support the company’s future goals. Business organizations can use powerful strategies to reposition their brand images. GoDaddy should use a powerful approach to deal with competition. A competitor-based positioning strategy will attract more customers. The company will convince more customers that it offers the best web-based solutions. The company can also support its customers using powerful support systems. This approach will make GoDaddy successful. The firm should also provide quality and affordable web-based services (Martisiute, Vilutyte and Grundey 6). This positioning strategy will encourage more businesspeople to purchase the targeted services. These two strategies will create a powerful brand image that supports the company’s goals. The brand image will also attract more business partners and professionals. The firm should use other advertising channels such as social media. This practice will eventually reposition the company’s brand image. The perceptions of the targeted customers determine the success of a specific brand. GoDaddy Incorporation should “use powerful research methods to gauge customer perceptions of its brand” (Martisiute et al. 6). The first approach should enta
Title From an epidemiological perspective, the title of the research report on juvenile arthritis is inappropriate. The rationale for this assertion can be provided by the ages of the research participants. Researchers who conducted this study stated, “focus group interviews were conducted with youth aged 14-21 years and young adults aged 22-29 years” (Garwick, Horvath, Secor-Turner, Scal & Wells, 2011, p. 302). In contrast, the adolescence stage ranges from 15 to 17 years of age (CDC, 2012). Secondly, all the study participants did not fall within the ages affected by juvenile arthritis. It has been reported that juvenile arthritis occurs in children and adolescents who are aged below 18 years (Arthritis Foundation, 2013). Therefore, the most appropriate title for this report would be ‘Challenges Associated with Juvenile Arthritis.’ Literature Review and Background to the Problem An aesthetic analysis reveals that the literature review for this report is inadequate. It does not include relevant research articles which addressed the issue in the past. Instead, it focuses on the challenges faced in health transitions regarding the transfer of healthcare services from adolescence stage to young adulthood. Besides, some of the articles used in the literature review were outdated. Articles which were published as late as 1992 were not appropriate for supporting a research study conducted in 2011. Ideally, the literature review for clinical research studies should be based on research publications, which are not older than five years from the date of the new research study. From an epidemiological perspective, the literature review for this report should have included recent publications investigating challenges experienced by teenagers and young adults who are living with juvenile arthritis. For instance, research articles, which discuss the impact of juvenile arthritis on social growth and quality of life, could be appropriate sources of information for this research report. In addition, a literature review should have provided an overview of the magnitude of the problem, primarily with regard to the limitations to activity, access to healthcare services by adolescents and young adults with juvenile arthritis and epidemiological trends of the disease. An article published in 2008 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare highlighted these parameters. For instance, it states that juvenile arthritis causes activity limitation, educational challenges and inability to participate in social activities among children (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2008). Therefore, the research report compiled by Molly Secor-Turner and his colleagues should have addressed the same parameters as they are discussed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Sampling and Recruitment In regard to sampling and recruitment of research participants, this study did not meet the required standards for clinical research studies. A sampling of the study participants was not randomized; instead, investigators followed predetermin
Introduction Moso community is a community in Southwest China, which is headed by a woman (Yang and Christine, p. 272). The community does not believe in marriage, and hence practices a walking or visiting marriage known as Tisese (Luo, p. 15). The men do not play any significant role in their children’s lives, as their mothers’ do all the duties. The women are responsible for all of the responsibilities, thus making the community a matriarchal one. Analysis The sexual division of labor in the Moso community is mainly the women’s responsibility. The women do not get married, but instead, give birth to their men through a walking marriage (Yang and Christine, p. 276). The women are the ones who give their children their surname. The children born out of these relationships belong to the mothers’, and not their fathers’. The family’s older males, better known as uncles, fulfill the fatherly parental role of the children. The adult males in this community play their roles in the matrilineal houses because this is where they live, and not in their partners’ houses. When they visit their partners, they become guests (Yang and Christine, p. 277). The sexual relationships that the community observes do not include any obligations, do not hold any contracts and are nonexclusive. The men only visit the women during the night hours and leave before the day starts. Their relationships are more social than economical and can be ended at any time by one of the couples (Luo, p. 16). As defined by Scott, the only major way of showing power relationships is through gender (Luo, p. 16). There is a correspondence between social relationships organization changes and power representations changes. What makes the difference is the change in direction, which must not be one way (Luo, p. 15). An example is along Lake Lugu where there is a village known as Xia Luoshui, which practices a collective system (Yang and Christine, p. 285). A committee has been chosen by the village members to manage tourism in the area. They have agreed that every household should contribute to labor and goods, and there would be equal sharing of benefits amongst themselves. In the private sphere, women in the community are nowadays housekeepers who work as cleaners, receptionists, and cooks. This is as opposed to about 40% who used to work in public, as collectives’ political leaders in the 1950s (Yang and Christine, p. 285). The Moso community affirms Miles’s statement that the social division of labor’s exploitative nature forms the basis of power relationships inequality between men and women. This is because women in the Moso community are given the authority over family, they manage the wealth of the family, they co own the property of the family, they are the ones who take care of the ancestors, and they own their own blood (Yang and Christine, p. 279). They have also been given the freedom and the right to sexual relations, which most parts o
