Globalization is a process of integration of regional economies and cultures into a global network of trade. Nations integrate into the international market in terms of technology, trade, culture, capital flows or investments. Globalization has many positive effects but it also lead to negative effects if not treated properly. Some of these negative effects are lose of a nation’s culture and tradition, and increased immigration (Ferraro, et al, 1998:295). This paper will give a brief summary of an article titled “FNC presses educators on protection of national identity” written by Khalaf Hala and Habboush Mahmoud. The Federal National Council (FNC) was concerned about lose of cultural and national identity by Young Emirates due to globalization. The council realized that the young Emirates especially the school-aged were adversely affected by the dangers of globalization and wanted to know the step taken by the national educators to curb the problem. A member of FNC noted that teachers were not concerned about the extensive use of the internet by the students and that the ministry of education had failed in implementing the same. Students extensive use of the internet was seen as a contributory factor to the children lose of identity and one way to curb it was to force the students to use the library in their academic research. He also noted that, these dangers were contributed by the astonishing development of the UAE. There are many nationalities living together and the Emirates constituted only 16.5% of the entire population in the UAE. To address this, the government had already formed the Federal Demographics Council which was aimed at promoting national pride. The principle of Al Assayel primary school, Latifa al Hosali praised his school for promoting national identity but emphasized on the importance of its inclusion in the curriculum. She said “We already have social studies and geography books that develop national identity, but honestly, the more activities we can cultivate around that the better” (Khalaf & Habboush, 2009:12). She observed that, more classes should be included in the curriculum to enlighten the children about their culture, and tradition, thereby minimizing the threat of the dangers of globalization. From the discussion I noted that the major contributing factor of the dangers of globalization is the internet. Many people have adopting culture and traditions from other nations due to the influence they get while surfing the internet and through international trade. The old and valuable tradition has been neglected and people tend to imitate other cultures (Blum, 2007:93). This is not an exception to the young Emirates who have adversely been affected by it. One member of FCN noted that, the only option left for teachers it to discourage their students from using the internet and to enlighten them on the dangers of globalization since it would be difficult to completely prevent them from being af
Introduction This paper will highlight the value of facility planning for the renovation of an Emergency Room. It will touch on the regulations, equipment, design, budget, color selection implications and noise issues and the need to involve stakeholders to realize a fully equipped and utilized Emergency Room(ER). The stakeholders include the board memembers, administrators, shareholders, patient representatives, architects, and doctors. The most efficient emergency rooms to the day will be those that involve all stakeholders in their creation, renovation, and policy implementation (Anthony & Watkins, 2002). Purpose The focus will be on the renovation of the Emergency Room at Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, California. A $3 million worth of renovation has been set aside to expand the emergency center at the hospital to accommodate the rising number of patients in need of emergency services. The renovation at Anaheim began in April 2011 and is focusing on emergency room expansion, facelift, and equipment upgrades. Common reasons for visits to the Anaheim emergency room include diseases and conditions that threaten life such as severe asthma attacks, seriously broken limbs, sprains, eye injuries, chest pain, cardiopulmonary arrest, trauma, and stroke. Regulatory requirements on the design and equipment The first stage in the design and equipment of Anaheim Memorial Medical Center was to identify the needs of stakeholders and satisfy them in the best way. Certification and regulatory requirements before the design phase of an ER can reduce the cost of equipment, enhance safety, and hasten certification and completion of projects. The Construction Safety Act and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act ensured that the community was aware of the emergency room renovations at Anaheim Memorial Medical Center. Certificate of Need (CON) was given after the local authority agreed there was a need to renovate the ER facility. Compliance with the minimum requirements of the Disabilities Act ensured that all areas, both in and outside the ER could and be comfortably used by many patients with temporary or permanent handicaps. The Joint Commission on American Hospital Organization (JCAHO) has also agreed to vet the new and existing personnel to meet minimum working standards at the health facility. Any person hired for the renovation work was verified to be insured, bonded, and licensed. The use of medicines, chemicals, medical equipment, and how to renovate the ER without closing it also met all safety regulations. The ER continued to comply
Introduction The issue of management in the hospitality industry has captured the attention of many scholars and theorists within the past few decades. Such discussants have presented evidence-based strategies that can be applied in the industry to deliver timely results. Additionally, some exceptional leaders such as Howard Schultz have presented exemplary ideas that can be emulated by different managers in the industry. This paper, therefore, offers a reflection of the book “Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing its Soul” by the chief executive officer (CEO) of Starbucks Corporation. Key Points The selected book details the story of Howard Schultz’s return to Starbucks and the obstacles he had to deal with in an attempt to turn things around. The economic meltdown of the year 2008 destabilized the company. With his passion for greatness, leadership, and innovation, Schultz focused on the best initiatives and strategies to revolutionize Starbucks’ performance (Schultz, 2011). He began his transformation agenda by closing unproductive stores. Schultz’s boldness was observed when he began to tackle the company’s problems. Employees were educated about the proposed agenda, the need to implement powerful initiatives, and the importance of teamwork. He was also keen to engage every employee (Schultz, 2011). Workers (or partners) were entitled to medical insurance and encouraged to participate in every decision-making process. The desire to focus on the changing needs of the corporation’s customers was another powerful strategy employed by Howard Schultz. The experience of every customer, according to the CEO, could either break or make the company. Schultz implemented a powerful plan to build a reputable brand that fulfilled every customer’s demands (Schultz, 2011). He addressed the smell of coffee in different stores and focused on the choices of different customers. New training sessions were considered to equip every barista with the right skills and values. Relation to Hospitality Organizations The key points outlined above echo most of the best practices associated with the hospitality industry. To begin with, the industry focuses on unforgettable experiences and superior services that can meet the needs of more customers from diverse backgrounds. Schultz implemented powerful approaches in an attempt to maximize the customer experience. He achieved this goal by introducing superior products and reengineering the existing ones (Schultz, 2011). He also collaborated with different baristas and trained them to deliver timely results. The second issue revolves around the empowerment of employees and followers. The leader created a positive culture whereby workers were treated as partners. They received health insurance cover and competitive remunerations. They were also involved in every decision-making process (Schultz, 2011). These best practices can empower employees to
Diversity There is no universally agreed upon definition for diversity though the term has grown into much prominence among people in the recent past (Blaine, 2000). There are those who consider the term as tolerance, others perceive it as acceptance, yet some think about it as attitude. Additionally, some people interpret the term as inclusion, some see it as gender and racial variations and to others it means numbers. Lastly, the same term has the interpretation as being the code of ethics that fight for the existence of the minority groups within the society (Blaine, 2000). As such, there is a commonality of all the perceptions held, which is the fact that humans are social yet different from one another. In this work, I reflect my perceptions of diversity, which will give the meaning of the social being of humans according to my views. How I Would Describe Myself In Terms of Diversity I appreciate the fact that the world consists of people of varied backgrounds who equally contribute to the beauty of our communities (Blaine, 2007). It means that I value the existence of persons with diverse personalities as well as cultures all around the globe. I have an understanding that the geographical regions and distances between individuals make their cultures different. Even people who belong to the same cultural backgrounds vary in their ideologies (Blaine 2007). I understand that I am an individual with distinctive personalities, but still realize that I live in the community where not everyone is like me. I accommodate others considerably because I realize that they can never be like me. How My Family Discusses Differences There are times when members of my family conflict on some matters, which need resolutions before we can move on. For example, my younger brother regularly clashes with my sister over the television channels that each of them would like to watch. The problem arises because they both want to express themselves simultaneously. My father always settles the dispute in a manner that makes me think of the society as being diverse. He respects the feelings of each one of them because he asks them to understand that the television belongs to the entire family. At one time, he asked them to think of the rest of the family who do not conflict and conclude if they too would like to watch or not. Therefore, the two have since learned to move by the decision of the rest of the family because it represents the majority. My Experiences with Workplace Diversity According to Choudhuri, Santiago-Rivera & Garrett (2012), there are people of diverse races, sexes, ages and social classes at my workplace. Each of this of individuals make up the staff and the management. The combination of their ideas and experiences makes the workplace a complete unit. It offers them an opportunity to learn varied approaches to managing issues related to the tasks that they face. The human resource de
Statement of the Problem Saudi Arabia has already developed transportation and communication networks to experience long-term economic growth, expand business, connect national citizen with foreigners, decrease congestion, and ensure more facilities for the people of KSA and tourists. However, Library of congress (2006, p.17) reported that the existing railroads remain relatively undeveloped, though demand of rail service is too high in terms of passenger traveling service and cargo handling. In addition, this segment of transportation service remains undeveloped due to lack of long-term initiatives from the private sector and foreign investors. Background The concept of the development of railway transportation networks is a large project in terms of required financial investment, but it is not impossible to implement this project successfully for the private entrepreneurs. This is because Saudi Arabia is the member of World Trade Organization (WTO), which gives the opportunity to the foreign companies to invest and provide technological support for the development of transportation networks; in addition, the policy makers and local investors will be interested in it considering competitive advantage and importance of railway networks. Need Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and the biggest pilgrimage (religious gatherings) in the world; moreover, all Muslims who are physically able and can afford must make this journey once in a lifetime; therefore, it is the most important priority of the Saudi Arabian Government to ensure flexible, safe, and low cost transportation system for the Muslim World. In addition, the purchasing power of the international customers have reduced due to adverse impact of global economic downturn; therefore, millions of Muslims of the GCC Countries and rest of the world fail to come in KSA to perform the hajj and many pilgrims need to work hard to arrange fund for Airline tickets. At the same time, many old people would like safe journey at low costs, and some of them are not able to find out exact route; as a result, it is essential to develop railroads. On the other hand, Library of congress (2006, p.17) reported that more than 790,000 passengers traveled and carried 1.50 million tons of cargo on Saudi trains in 2001; however, the importance of train service is raising due to development of the future economic position and improvement of urban lifestyle. Benefits This project will help millions of Muslims to undertake Hajj with their limited budget, help government ensure safe journey, and increase number of pilgrims and tourists because this project has capacity to serve $1 million passengers and the price of train ticket is lower than airline ticket. On the other hand, this railway transportation network will serve the oil exporter and importer, which will save more than $50 million of local companies like SABIC. Qualifications of Personnel Three entrepreneurs Sara Aldossari, Hind alessia, and Reem are the student of Prince Mohammad Bin Fahad University and major is Finance. However, same educational background helps them coordinate the activities of the project
Discussion The bank of England acts as UK’s Central Bank (Singleton, 2011, p. 229). The bank plays a number of roles in the UK financial system, and these roles include: one, issuing notes and coins. These notes and coins are then sold to banking systems which in turn distribute them to clients as they make withdrawals in their accounts; two, supervises the financial system. The Bank of England often works in conjunction with other institutions set up specifically to regulate distinct parts of the financial system; three, manages UK’s gold and currency reserves (Great Britain Committees on Currency and Foreign Exchange, 1978, p. 159). This role enables the Bank of England to influence the level of exchange rate; four, acts as banker to government. It does this by managing UK’s national debt and arranges for the issue of new loans to cover government’s current borrowing; and last but not least, the bank plays the role of acting as a banker to the banking system. Normally the Bank of England comes to rescue banks that get into short term problems, unable to raise enough funds to meet customer demands. In this case, the Bank of England will supply cash to the banking system to relieve the liquidity shortage (Gomez, 2008, p. 349). The roles of the Bank of England compares to the Federal Reserve System in varying aspects. This paper examines the roles of the Bank of England compared to the roles of the Federal Reserve Bank of the US in terms of; regulation of the financial system, comparison of the roles in terms of facilitation of the financial system, comparison in terms of ensuring financial stability in the market, and lastly comparing their roles in Financial Stability and Depositor Protection. Comparing Regulative Aspects of the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve System In the
How “normative” ethics are visible in the Indonesian, Australian and global responses The category of morality is one of the most important and most complicated issues of humanity. People need moral norms, which help determine what is right or wrong, and act accordingly. However, in some situations the lines are blurred. The brightest example of such morally grey areas is antiterrorism. As a response to the 2002 Bali Bombings, Australia and Indonesia have strengthened their cooperation in the war with terrorism by establishing the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation and signing the “Agreement between Australia and the Republic of Indonesia on the Framework of Security Cooperation”. On the regional and global levels, the response is mostly the same – for example, in Southeast Asia Counter Terrorism Task Force was founded to coordinate Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation’s response and efforts in anti-terrorism. These actions have preventive nature and are aimed at fighting terrorism with morally accepted means, such as strengthening international cooperation and preparing for defense rather than offense. Is it possible for regional governments to balance the normative ethics of the case with the use their power to have any real impact on terrorist activities? The regional governments increase police security, intelligence work, and international cooperation. Such measures are not only ethical, but also effective. Regional terrorist activities are made more difficult by internalization of policing effort. Therefore, even acting within the ethically allowed borders can have real impact. Nevertheless, some experts voice the opinion that in order to protect its people, the government can be justified in breaking the law and ethic norms. “Offense is the best defense”, as the saying goes, and some even advocate the idea that in special circumstances, torture should be warranted, so as not to undermine the law. A proposed alternative is to leave the current legislation unchanged, with the torture prohibitions intact, but to make exceptions in courts. However, such ideas are merely theoretical. If ever approved, which is unlikely, they would constitute a severe violation of normative ethics and wreak havoc in the justice system. What would be the “Realist” government response? When fighting terrorism, governments are put in a difficult position. They are often
The given report is aimed at studying the peculiarities of innovative development strategies used by large public companies in the United Arab Emirates. The main topics of the work are entrepreneurial health and the current business status of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. It belongs to the number of the largest infrastructure organizations tasked with service provision and research in the field of water and electricity supply systems. This report is structured in such a way as to meet a set of objectives that describe the key elements of successful innovation. The first objective involves conducting a comprehensive analysis of practices and working structures currently used in the organization to ensure that they do not pose a threat to DEWA’s innovation capacity. The next objective refers to the ability to transform the analytical findings into practice-oriented incentives for DEWA’s innovative projects. As for the third objective informing the choice of the research methods, it relates to searching for the new combinations of development opportunities at the confluence of various business areas. Given the complexity of its operations and organizational structure, the corporate entrepreneurship assessment index was used to study the health of different departments’ internal climates. Moreover, speaking about the tools used by the consultants to analyze the current position of DEWA, it is pivotal to mention the entrepreneurial grid. Focusing on the basic dimensions of entrepreneurship, its degree, and amount, the tool was helpful in defining the type of entrepreneurial strategy implemented by the executive management of DEWA. The conclusions made by the team possess reliability and can be implemented into practice due to the high quality of information sources. The sources included annual reports issued by DEWA, its contracts with external collaborators, and the official descriptions of the company’s “smart innovations.” From clarity considerations, the report is divided into three parts that serve different purposes. To begin with, the company description acts as an introduction since it summarizes the key facts about DEWA, its production capacity, successful projects, and strategic development plans. The conclusions of this section refer to the presence of numerous development opportunities and actual practice-oriented ideas. Therefore, the results of the preliminary analysis indicate no obvious barriers to innovative development related to the ineffective use of human, production, and financial resources. The next section is focused on the issues at the confluence of the theory of entrepreneurship and DEWA’s practical steps aimed at the implementation of innovation. In particular, in this part of the report, the researchers apply the principles of entrepreneurial health audit to the most recen
Sula from the novel Sula is an independent character who tries to avoid attachments and commitments to other people as much as much as possible. However, she violates this sense of independence twice with Nel and Ajax. She later feels rejected when Nel gets married and when Ajax leaves for good. This form of betrayal leads her to sleep with Nel’s husband. Sula’s character makes the society shun her. She feels isolated and dies a sad woman. Just like Sula, Beloved is a strange character who is too selfish to care about other people’s feelings. Her mother tries to provide her with everything that she wants but she does not appreciate it. Instead, she throws childish tantrums demanding more from her mother. Her mother goes to the extent of trying to starve herself to provide Beloved with what she wants. The society saw these two women as evil because they had no remorse for what they did. The society, therefore, tries hard to get rid of these women by isolating them. Nobody wanted to be associated with them apart from some close friends and family. Nel is portrayed as a quiet and obedient girl right from when she was a little girl (Morrison 22). Even in her adulthood, Nel remains to be a calm and composed woman. She gets married after finishing high school because her family strongly believes in social conventions. After Sula had destroyed her marriage, Nel did not seek revenge. Instead, she spends years thinking that she misses her husband while in the real sense its Sula that she misses. She forgives Sula at her deathbed and also realizes that Sula was not evil as people perceived it. Ne
