A human services professional is a person who wants to help others with their issues and complicated situations. I have decided to get a degree in this profession because I believe that qualified support can help people overcome many problems and improve their lives. There are three primary areas of job responsibilities for people who work in human services. It includes implementing direct service, organizing administrative matters, and, most importantly, working with the people. Human services professional is a job that requires the execution of specific tasks. They work with the people in need, so it is important not to do anything that might hurt them even more. This job requires thinking and planning everything in advance. (Packard, 2021). The next step is to follow this plan and make sure everything works correctly. Otherwise, the professional has to change the tactic and ensure that it helps. Human services work responsibilities also include performing administrative work. There is a lot of new information, people, and issues workers face every day. The task of human services professionals is to make sure everything is organized (Packard, 2021). On the other hand, not analyzing even a tiny piece of information can sometimes cause serious consequences. In this sphere, it is crucial not to miss anything that can benefit people in need. The most important area of job responsibilities for professionals who work in human services is working with the community. The main aim of this work is to help people and society in general. That is why working with the community is an inevitable activity (Packard, 2021). Human service professionals have to show empathy and make people trust them. It is the only way to get to know their problems and help them find the solution. I have decided to choose human service as my profession because I feel that I can help people to overcome difficulties and solve problems. I always knew that I wanted to make people happier, and getting this job would allow me to do so. I used to struggle with mental disorders, so I know how crucial support is. I am hoping to use my degree to help others going through similar issues. Reference Packard, T. (2021). Organizational change for human services . Oxford University Press.
Black Swan is the name of a book written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It deals with the effect of the highly improbable. The title is taken from the discovery of Black Swans in Australia – an improbable event. Till then it was supposed that Swans were white and there was no way in which a swan could be black. Once it was discovered that the swans were black as well, the whole paradigm of looking at swans changed. Thus, this is the effect an improbable event has on the popular imagination. As the author states, there is a triplet that is defined as rarity, extreme impact, and retrospective (not prospective) predictability. This is what constitutes a Black Swan moment. “A number of Black Swans explain almost everything in our own world, from the success of ideas and religions to the dynamics of historical events, to elements of our own personal lives” (Taleb, p. 150). Thus, once an event happens and we recognize retrospectively that it would have happened; we are no longer fooled by the same event happening again. And the rarity of the event and the extreme impact it causes are indications that we live in a world where predictions are highly hazardous. The author’s epiphany came with the Black Monday stock market crash of 1987 when he realized that chance has a greater impact than we would care to admit. According to the author, “History proceeds by jumps and is controlled by the tyranny of the singular, the accidental, the unseen and the unpredicted”. Thus, sudden events with great impact drive history than the normal ones that have no long-term bearing on the course of history. There is a lengthy description of what he calls “Mediocristan”, “Extremistan” and the like. These are imaginary populations of people who are marked by their singular affiliation to falling for the unexpected and the extreme views of the experts. Taleb takes the example of 911 to indicate how a Black Swan works. Before the event, there were not many who could foresee that such an event could occur in the United States. Of course, Taleb criticizes experts throughout the book when he says that they are failures at spotting Black Swan events before they happen. There is a lot of audacity in the book from Taleb when he states that, “We attribute our successes to our skills and our failures to external events outside our control” (Taleb, p. 56) However, he overgeneralizes many occurrences and fails to note the views of many who could see things coming. In conclusion, it is apparent that Taleb is one of a kind author who can simplify things and complex events for the layman who does not have access to sophisticated statistical modeling tools to predict events. One thing that the book teaches us is to “expect the unexpected” and be ready for it. There is no use wringing our hands after the event is over and it has had a terrible impact. The current financial meltdown may or may not be a Black Swan moment, but, anyone who read the book would have been prepared for the worst outcome. I thorough
Summary Zeek’s Music Shop seeks to provide music customers with an alternative source of affordable and easy-to-get products from all genres of music. To reach its the customers, Zeek’s Music Shop will prove to be the best provider of all types of music, ranging from the oldest to the latest music in CDS, DVDs, and all forms of modern digital storage materials. The business will use these technologies to provi9de music products for all the people who are interested in music. This means that there is no limit based on age, gender, age and race. However, the business will be focused on attracting people aged between 14 and 45 years because they are fond to music and more interested in music, especially modern genres, than older generations (Krasilovsky, Shemel and Gross 12). Purpose This plan aims at describing the detailed plan that will be used for marketing Zekk’s Music shop and its products to the target customers. It will provide an in-depth analysis of the intended market niche, strategy for reaching the target customers and a financial plan. The target market Zeek’s Music Shop, being a unique business of its kind in the area, will attempt to attract music shoppers from all races, generations and social divides. The business will therefore aim at providing the public with a unique source of music products, ranging from the old to new generation pieces. The shop will seek to know the what members of the public need in music. As such, the business will interact with people aged between 14 and 60 years, but will specifically focus on targeting the people aged between 14 and 45 years. Nevertheless, the business will serve all customers, regardless of their age, sex and ethnicity. Market Niche Zeek’s Music shop provide a unique source of music products in that it will not just deal with recorded music, but will also include musical instruments, books, technologies, training equipment and music production equipment. Most of the local music shops specialize on providing music products in recorded format such as DVDs, CDs and other digital or electronic formats. This means that Zeek’s music shop will provide a wide range of products that will satisfy the needs of the special and unique customers. How to reach the customers Zeek’s music shop is a one-stop shop that will allow customers to choose between traditional shopping and online shopping. In the modern context, generations tend to determine the procedure through which a customer makes purchases (Tschmuck 29). In music industry, customer behaviour is marked by generational differences (Dolata 23). For instance, young people, aged between 14 and 35 years, will prefer online shopping, while those people beyond this range prefer to visit music shops in order to determine the presence of the products they need. Therefore, Zeek’s music shop will prov
Edvard Munch (1863-1944) Bischoff and Hulse divulge that Munch is a Norwegian artist who founded the concept of expressionism. His works from 1890 appear to be more conversant with people; as a result, they inspire modern artists. In his work Munch emblematically depicts themes like fatality, illness, and desolation. One of his paintings named the scream is perhaps the most popular, and in its artistic content, it elaborates how illogical life is to mankind. The scream expresses the feeling of fright and segregation brought about by the happenings in the world (Bischoff & Hulse 42). Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) He is considered as one of the key figures who brought about and advanced the concept of existentialist; hence his work was mainly related to ontology and phenomenology. Most importantly, he asked the question; what is being? He related the existence of human to getting engrossed into the habitual activities of the world concerning the symbolic insinuation. He depicts the fact that human beings suffer a lot in life knowing there is no supreme truth but they still, go ahead to make choices. Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) He invented and advanced existentialism which is a philosophy of existence. Also, he is accredited to have developed an ontological concept of the quintessence of being human. Most importantly, Sartre was interested in understanding why human beings exist. It is evident that the two main forms of beings that Sartre developed were the being-in-itself that relates to the existence of objects and the being-for-itself that relates to the existence of human beings. He describes the emotion as the perception that has been projected on to authenticity (Sartre 95). Erikson (1902-1994) Erikson developed the physiosocial theory of development, thus coming up with the eight stages of human development. Similarly, he acknowledged Feud’s developmental theories; however; he believes that feud was wrong about some essential concepts of human development. In feud’s theories of development, he insists that human beings traits are determined by the age of five. On the contrary, Erikson highlights that traits are developed through our one’s life. The first theme that his philosophy is the base on is that a person’s surrounding broadens as time passes by. While the second is that when a person fails in life, the let downs accumulates. It is noteworthy that, during the development of his theory he divided life into eight stages that extend from infancy to maturity. Nietzsche (1844-1900) He previously pursued theology which he abandoned for philology. It is noteworthy that he was a master in classical literature. Thus, he became a teacher by profession but got
Introduction North America witnessed an influx of immigrants from England during the 17th century. One of the most important pioneer English settlements in the continent was the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This colony was established on the East coast of North America by the Massachusetts Bay Company, which facilitated the migration of Englishmen to this destination. A major motivation for emigrating from England during the 1600s was to escape the political and religious chaos the country was experiencing (Hopley 20). To the immigrating colonists, America was the New World where they would not only prosper but also enjoy political and religious freedom. The colonists living in Massachusetts were able to create a stable community and achieve great prosperity. Cause of Immigration During the 1600s, England was experiencing major changes in its political and religious structure. The country had just broken away from its Catholic roots and established the Church of England. At the same time, there was a prolonged struggle for power between the Parliament and the Monarch. In 1629, King Charles I dissolved Parliament and gave the Archbishop of the Anglican Church great authority (Williams 21). All Englishmen were supposed to recognize the authority of this church and religious dissenters were punished. The Puritan community regarded the Anglican Church as corrupt and wanted to reform it. For this reason, the Archbishop of Canterbury victimized the Puritan community with the aim of destroying it. Spencer documents that the religious persecutions caused the Puritans to immigrate to America where they would have the opportunity to freely practice their religion (40). Living in Massachusetts To facilitate the immigration of the Puritan community, the Massachusetts Bay Company was formed by a number of Puritan businessmen. These individuals were able to obtain a land grant in the Americas and subsequently, they acquired a Charter from King Charles (Clarke 85). While Massachusetts Bay was created as a profit driven company, it was transformed into a religiously motivated organization. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was established as a refuge for Puritans who were escaping religious persecution from the English Crown. The first major voyage by the Massachusetts Bay Company consisted of 1000 colonists who arrived at American East co
Introduction Play Station 3 is a powerful video game console that provides a platform to the virtual world of games produced by Sony computer entertainment. It provides the ultimate gaming experience with its robust multimedia capabilities. With excellent visual & sound effects and having thousands of games, Playstation-3 is a clear leader in-game console market. It’s the internal hardware architecture of Playstation-3 along with its software that makes it a high-performance output machine. Architectural development Like computers, the gaming console is also a processor which has memory and architecture which processes the digital data and produces the audio & video outputs through the interfaced peripherals. The hardware architecture of Playstation-3 utilizes a 64 bit 3.2 GHz cell processor developed by IBM having 8 synergistic processing elements (SPE), 256 MB of XDR DRAM, NVIDIA RSX graphics chip with 256 MB GDDR3 RAM for video memory which can also access the cell’s main memory i.e. the XDR DRAM and can generate 1080p output signals also known as full HD. (Gschwind, 2005) The cell processor equipped with 512 KB of L2 cache acts as a “managing processor” It manages the computational workload and assigns it to the 7 SPE processors using1 PowerPC processing element (PPE). The main function of a cell processor is to efficiently use the capabilities of the available SPE whereas a reserve SPE is available for the case of failure of any of the 7 functioning SPE. SPE are 128 bit single instruction multiple data (SIMD) vector processors each of them clocked at 3.2 GHz. The internal communication is carried away by Element interconnect Bus (EIB) which can transfer data at 204 GB/s. Every SPE uses its own memory flow controller & Direct memory access controller. (Stokes, 2000) (Langdon, 2008) Another controller is Flex I/O controller which communicates with the NVIDIA RSX graphic chip & the southbridge components such as hard drive, Ethernet, USB, memory card reader, WiFi, Optical Media like Blue-ray. The Bandwidth of Flex I/O is 60 GB/s and the majority of this bandwidth are allocated for the communication with the RSX graphic chip. (Blachford, 2005) PowerPC Processing Element (PPE) The PPE contains a 64 bit, dual-thread PowerPC Architecture RISC core. It has 32 KB L1 I-cache & 32 KB L2 D-cache along with 512 KB L2 unified cache. The PPE provides an excellent platform to control the functioning of SPEs. As PPE uses PowerPC instruction set and therefore the clock speed comparisons for this architecture lose significance. (Koranne, P. 20) Synergistic Processing Element (SPE) SPE are completely independent processors clocked at 3.2 GHz. It’s the core processor of the system and this vector processor is also known as single instruction multiple data processors (SIMD) which means that at one clock cycle multiple operations can be performed by a single instruction. Also the SPE access 128 registers with 128 bits each with a dedicated memory controller which makes the operation
Providing healthcare services to the representatives of different cultures means being able to establish intercultural dialogue. Unless a healthcare specialist is capable of talking to the people that suffer from a particular disease, it is impossible to cure the latter. For example, there is a tangible difference between the concept of “being sick” (illness) and the conceptual entity of symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment approaches (diagnostic category) (Frake 115). Speaking of which, the means of identifying the ways to locate a deeper affinity between isolated and seemingly different symptoms in various patients may require thorough research. It should also be born in mind that the alterations in the patterns of disease symptoms make the process of diagnosing the patient extremely complicated. Seeing that the names of diseases carry several elements, it is essential, yet nonetheless, very difficult to identify the dominant name. This does beg the question of whether a common ground is a viable reason for connecting several instances of a disease that do not have any symptoms in common other than the one stated above. Though at first, one might assume that the problem of labeling a specific health issue is rooted in the issues within the current healthcare taxonomy, it, in fact, concerns linguistics rather than medicine (Foucault 18). In the realm of globalization, the possibility to create an intercultural dialogue has been provided, yet new challenges also emerged. At this point, the link between the globalization process and the emerging trends in healthcare needs to be mentioned. Speaking of cultural fusion and the acceptance of new healthcare approaches, the phenomenon of biomedicine taps on the concepts of globalization and indigenization, therefore, linking healthcare to the key cultural processes (Kleinman 38). Biomedicine is linked closely to the Western concept of progress. Because of the challenges that the 21 st -century healthcare has faced, the priorities of biomedicine have been shifted from providing care to pursuing economic and political goals. Still, for a successful intervention, one must take the intercultural issues into account; particularly, the differences in the views of different cultures on healthcare, in general, should be analyzed closer. For example, the concept of healthcare adopted in the Lwezi tribe makes one wonder if the concept of treatment as a synonym to witchcraft in the Lwezi tribe prevents from advancing the Lwezi healthcare system (Bazinga 121). It should also be noted that the assistance, which a healthcare professional is ready to provide to the patient, may not be enough. In most cases, it is required that the patient should be ready to cooperate. In other words, it is imperative that the patient should put a stop to the usurpation of their self. In each case of a disease or a disorder, a patient has their “possession of the fate of the happening” (Sansom 191), and it is the duty of a healthcare professional to make sure that the patient is provided with an opportunity t
In academic writing, an author is usually inspired by an overriding motive, which is mainly to make a significant contribution in his or her area of study. An author’s primary purposes will usually be dictated by what is already known and thought about in the ongoing debate in his or her field of research and the contributions that he or she intends to make so as to be part of that debate (Taylor, 1989). In the articles, “Human Geography and the “New Ecology”: The Prospect and Promise of Integration” by Karl S. Zimmerer and “The bricolage of the here: young people’s narratives of identity in the countryside” by Michael Leyshon and Jacob Bull, the authors were motivated by different reasons in producing the works. In writing the article, Zimmerer intended to reformulate an existing point of view in the field of biological ecology. In this way, he wanted to ensure that the new version makes a better explanation. He posits that the concept of the “new ecology” takes into consideration the role of non-equilibrium conditions in biophysical environments as well as a reorientation of biological ecology based in part on biogeography, which had been propagated by earlier postulations. To this end, Zimmerer wrote the article to “explain the contributions of the “new ecology” and investigate its significance for the examination of biophysical environment in human geography” (Zimmerer, 1994, p. 125). This is an attempt in reformulation of certain essential ecological postulates such as “generalized carrying capacity, area-biodiversity postulate, and biodiversity-stability postulate” (Zimmerer, 1994, p. 125). The concept of the “new ecology” therefore offers better explanations concerning the significant premises of biological ecology qua systems that were prevalent fifty years ago and it is also antagonistic to the notion of constant stability in environmental systems. On the other hand, in writing the article, Leyshon and Bull had the motive of conceding to the fact that memories are essential for our construction of place but that further elaborations are needed to determine “the function of memory in creating identity, the political processes involved through which memories become interwoven into understanding of place, and the formation of a bricolage of the here” (Leyshon and Bull, 2011, p. 159). Further, the authors suggest that qualifications are also to be made regarding the “storied-self as a resolution of the competing constructions and expenses of personal continuity and the inconsistencies and constant change in the project of the individual” (Leyshon and Bull, 2011, p. 159). Thus, the authors wrote the article as an attempt to provide these elaborations and to explain that memories play a crucial role in the assemblage of space, place, and identity of an individual. The two texts have a unique version of truth in their fields of study that they are trying to propagate. The article, “Human Geography and the “New Ecology,” focus on the instability, disequilibria, and disorganized variations that typify several env
