Introduction Sports play a very vital role in the American community. Professional sports have continued to bring major benefits to most communities in the American public sphere. These benefits have spanned political, social, and economic spheres. Professional sports receive enormous support from the public and hence have continued to impact the daily lives of citizens. Sports play a critical role in promoting important values like justice, fair play, and teamwork. This paper will look at how professional sport has brought immense benefits to local communities, with emphasis on the Chicago area. Chicago is one of the largest cities in the U.S which a large presence of popular professional sports teams. Popular teams in Chicago include the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Chicago White Sox of the Major Baseball League (MBL), Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL), among others (Baade & Victor, 2001). All these teams have impacted the social and economic development of the Chicago area tremendously. One positive impact that has been brought about by professional sport is the increased revenues by the local businesses as a result of increased spending by visitors and the residents of the community. There is a direct expenditure that boosts businesses relating to transportation, hotels, and the food industry, and those selling souvenirs (p. 24). These revenues, on the other, leads to more taxes that are used to improve social services in the community. They help support local social services and other tax-supported activities like any other income payments originating from sources outside the community. The additional dollars brought about by the spending play a crucial role in promoting the economy of the city. Furthermore, the presence of these teams in the Chicago community has brought with it a sense of pride to the residents who feel associated with the success and popularity of the teams in the national arena. They have brought with them a sense of civic pride and community awareness. Also, sports have motivated many young people to engage in physical exercises as a result of watching adult professionals who are fit. Thus, it has helped in mitigating risks relating to weight problems. The fame that comes with being professional players has motivated many kids to engage in sports instead of engaging in less rewarding activities like watching television (Jasina &Kurt, 2008). Additionally, professional sports have been cited as one of the largest contributors to integration among various races in the United States. Their integration of both Black and White players played a significant role in bringing about harmony among different social and racial groups in Chicago (p. 42). All the players have now become role models for young people who view them as a model of success worth emulating, regardless of their racial or social background. Moreover, there has been an increase in
Introduction Regardless of the economic state of affairs, unemployment is present in every country and is only differentiated by the unemployment rates in different countries. Unemployment is contingent on numerous factors, and this research is explicitly focused on these aspects. The evaluation of these aspects is crucial to the current research for the reason that it would help highlight the weak spots of the modern employment apparatus and suggest novel ways of dealing with unemployment. The research is conducted to identify and evaluate the elements that might help to decrease the unemployment rates on a local scale. In other words, the researcher is investigating the subject to find several universal approaches designed to eradicate (or at least minimize the rates of) unemployment. One of the possible ways to do that is to implement numerous policies that would affect all spheres of human life. These would include specialized education and training intended to diminish organizational unemployment, a flexible labor market that would allow hiring and firing employees in a much more trivial manner, and a lower minimum wage. Fiscal and economic policy Nonetheless, the author of the research pays maximum attention to the probable fiscal and economic policies that would meaningfully improve the current situation. The first policy recommended by the author is aimed at the boost of aggregate demand by cutting interest rates. This policy would generate investments and economic progress. Lower interest rates will cause the devaluation in the exchange rate and make imports more expensive (making exports cheaper at the same time). Another fiscal policy would affect taxes to boost aggregate demand. On one hand, this approach would motivate consumer spending. On the other hand, this approach would only be effective if the tax cut is backed by increased efficiency. In other words, if the country’s economy faces fiscal dilemmas and complications, there is a very low chance that the tax cut allows advanced consumer expenses. The last approach is based on geographical grants. On a local scale, this means that businesses would be encouraged to invest in weak areas to provoke economic development. These aspects have to be reviewed in detail to be analyzed and evaluated adequately. Nonetheless, the researcher believes that these policies are competent and have value in the real-world economic context. Conclusion There is one more major aspect that should be taken into consideration when reviewing the policies intended to minimiz
Sunita Puri took her readers in for a deeper look into the bastardization of cultural identities by having another view it simply as ethnic fashion. A part of the modern lifestyle that looks hip and very happening without actually understanding the real meaning of the cultural item as it pertains to the ethnicity of the person. A multi-million dollar industry that has forever changed the face of South Asian cultures for the worse. Cultural items are worn by a specific set of people in order to signify their religious beliefs or their cultural identity. In the country of origin, what we consider to be fashionable is actually a part of their way of life. Having it nice to look and possibly matching what one is wearing is not even part of what the person considers when he or she wears the item. For these people, it signifies a huge part of who they are and where they came from. These items are deeply rooted in tradition and culture and should therefore never be taken lightly by others. By wearing such items out of context is to show disrespect for a way of life — the cultures and traditions covering that particular belief. However, there could be exceptions to the rule of cultural item wearing. If, for example, it is worn as part of an educational process, such as at a United Nations Day parade, that may be acceptable. Or if one finds himself visiting that particular country, he or she may show respect for their hosts by wearing the item in the proper context. It is never acceptable to wear these items to just make a fashion statement such as Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Destiny’s Child have done to the bindi, wearing it only as part of their costume. That shows disrespect for the people who really wear the item for a reason.
Boeing is the largest aircraft manufacturer of all time, having success stories running throughout U.S business history. The company is well-known for its commercial airplanes and input in space and security. William E. Boeing established the company in 1916 in Seattle before moving to Chicago (O’Connell, 2020). Boeing started manufacturing by transforming a building plant designed for wooden boats. The company earned its first income from the United States military and contracted it to develop aircraft. Due to the influence the firm had in the market, the owner focused on ensuring that he gathered input and ideas from all staff members. Boeing also developed aircraft specifically designed to deliver mail to faraway cities and towns in the country. The aircraft provided a faster way for people to share information despite having distance barriers. This forced the company to change its business model to incorporate airplane manufacturing and flights. In 1931, Boing transformed other airlines into a single one to form United Airlines (UAL) and also purchased other airplane manufacturing companies to expand its operations (O’Connell, 2020). Later, the firm changed its name to Boeing Airline Company and played a significant role in developing military aircraft used during World War II. When the war was over, Boeing shifted back to manufacturing commercial aircraft to make single trips across the country. This meant that the company had to eliminate aircraft that used propellers and adapt turbojets. Boeing started receiving large orders from the Unite
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is an environmental interest group whose operations are centered in the US. It is a nonprofit making organisation and its core activities are targeting the protection and preservation of the environment. In particular, this environmental pressure group has been on the forefront towards campaigning against the devastating effects of global warming, restoring the natural interactive balance between man and other living species as well as the overall wellness in human health. In order to discharge its duties fairly and expeditiously, EDF is nonpartisan. Its key mandate lies behind seeking viable end-based solutions on the challenges facing the environment. The Environmental Defense Fund has a large membership base ranging from farmers on the ground to corporate partners. As part of its broad objectives, the membership of EDF is open and consequently, any interested party can join the group. There are both individual members and corporate partners who are offering monetary and moral support to the organisation. Individual members are free to donate to the group at will. However, the group does not accept direct funding from corporate organizations. As Gwen Ruta, the Vice President of the group notes, “we accept no funding from our corporate partners. That independence frees us to set aggressive goals and drive change across entire industries” (EDF, 2010). As a member of EDF, the immediate community will benefit from a preserved environment void of human destruction. The broad agenda of EDF as an environmental interest group is to advocate for a healthier environment. In retrospect, it is imperative to note that elements such as global warming occasioned by the destruction and interference of the ecosystem have largely impacted human life in a negative way. For instance, natural catastrophic events such as hurricanes and erratic weather conditions which are being witnessed in the modern environment would likely not be prevalent if man opted to preserve the environment. Hence, membership to EDF is not only beneficial to local communities; the larger society is also bound to enjoy living in a healthy environment. Currently, EDF deals with three main issues, namely global warming, development of human health and protection of the ecosystem. In fact, the group has already outlined additional goals for 2011 so that they can achieve more in regard to protecting the environment. For example, the interest group is currently focusing on how oceans can be protected from human influence (EDF, 2010). Further, the group is seeking to implore United States to reduce its greenhouse emission as part and parcel of securing an international deal on managing climate change. In addition, the nonprofit organisation is endeavoring to work with business enterprises to speed up the process of reducing carbon mission to the environment. EDF is also forging innovative modalities that can be adopted and impleme
Effective business management is one of the core issues lacking in most business organizations. According to Bob Farrell motivating the workers is a central feature in establishing a sound and effective managerial environment. Motivation, for instance, as illustrated in his video titled Give e`m the PICKLE is presented as the principal force behind successful organizations. Thus, the video seems to suggest that lack of motivation is unhealthy for both the client and the concerned business organization. In essence what this indicates is that by inspiring the employees in an organization the chances that they will be productive are high. Another highlighted feature in Bob Farrell’s video, Give em the PICKLE revolves within the scope of client satisfaction. Basically, the central role of any business organization is to satisfy its clients. Hence, Farrell asserts that for any organization to satisfy its clients it ought to embrace the concept of serving others its topmost priority. This is he supports by arguing that business is actually a noble career and all involved must be proud of what they embrace. Also the scope of attitude is equally examined. The core approach to this features pertains to the manner clients are treated. Thus, he notes that ones attitude determines how an individual treats the clients. More so, this is supported by insisting on consistency. What the video does is to explore the dynamics of teamwork. This is testified by the manner he explores the concepts of seeking apposite ways to make each and every aspect of serving look good and eventually delivering on time. Examining the scope of consistency he points to the need of setting high but realistic standards and equally sticking to them. This is shown to be the principal reasons client’s returns for having received satisfying services. Another highlight of the video touches on teamwork. It ought to be noted that individual talent in business is not appreciated as is with teamwork. Farrell notes that teamwork plays a crucial role in establishing the right managerial and organizational approach. This he notes is essential in providing seamless but healthy customer care. And this explains the need for client satisfaction which leads to client loyalty as well as building a core base of return and satisfied clients. In essence, Bob Farrell explores the dynamics of running a business organization that have the right attitude in satisfying its clients. This is demonstrated in the manner he examines the subject pertaining to the client satisfaction. He notes client satisfaction means life to any business organization. Horst Schulze is the chairman as well as chief executive officer of West Paces Hotel Group. Despite his involvement in hotel industry he has a long history in regard to travel industry. As depicted in the video, there a number of managerial issues that he profoundly examines and offers critical insight. Human contact, for example, is one of the major issues that he argues helps in fostering strong business management. He notes that, because human contact cannot disappear it is thus essential to
Problem The epidemic of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been holding a status of an epidemic since its early cases’ discovery in the 1980s. Currently, the state of Florida is a leader in the new HIV cases nationwide, constituting 4,584 new diagnoses in 2019 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021b). Although the virus does not discriminate the population and may affect anyone, the most vulnerable populations concern sexual and ethnic minorities, as most HIV cases are found in the Black community (57,8%) and men having sexual intercourse with men (MSM, 75%) (Florida Department of Health, 2019). Given that the number of new infections continues to decrease, the progress is insignificant compared to other states and their preventive practices. Despite the existing programs to promote HIV/AIDS prevention among the population and criminalization of the failure to disclose HIV status prior to sexual intercourse, the Florida state legislature does not obtain any mandatory outreach and education programs for the population. Additionally, the focus has not been placed on the mandatory state outreach programs for the minority groups in question, as the access to HIV testing is dependent directly on the regularity of the patients’ medical check-ups. In case the issue continues, the new case rates will increase, deteriorating the magnitude of the pandemic. On the other hand, access to preventive initiatives such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in high-risk groups is necessary to slow down the rate of virus dissemination among ethnic and sexual minorities. The idea for Addressing Solution The modern definition of health care is comprised of both quality medical assistance and communication with the population on the matter of health awareness and prevention. For this reason, as far as HIV/AIDS prevention is concerned, it is necessary to present a public initiative that would encourage nurses to share knowledge about HIV prevention and sex education among different communities. The existing Florida legislations describe the benefits of promoting HIV/AIDS prevention and testing, yet the nurses’ participation in educational endeavors is recommended with no further motivation (Florida Department of Health, 2021). The existing initiative called “Know your HIV status” is beneficial for people willing to learn about HIV prevention and treatment. However, while nurses address their patients to the network, a number of high-risk patients ignore the educational resource. For this reason, the newly introduced legislation should present a financial incentive for the nurses to eliminate the mediatorship and educate the community directly. More precisely, the legislation should include:   * The provision to financially motivate community nurses to create educational curriculum for the populations of high risk of HIV infections.   * The increase in financial resource
Introduction The U.S. Army is concerned about the physical fitness of its soldiers and seeks ways of increasing this parameter. Therefore, it has developed the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) that is supposed to completely replace its predecessor, the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), by October 2020 (Buckner, 2019). Opinions are divided on whether the new standards will be of benefit to the U.S. military. Advocates of the ACFT argue that it will ensure that all soldiers are able to survive and perform their duties on the battlefield regardless of their gender or age (Buckner, 2019). Although it is a strong argument, the ACFT has several issues that should be fixed to make the requirements for passing the test more reasonable. This paper will review the drawbacks of the ACFT, including inadequate requirements for women, injuries associated with the test, the increased complexity of the trial, and the necessity to complete the two-mile run. These features of the test appear to be excessive and hardly able to serve for the benefit of the U.S. Army. Women Failing the ACFT It has been a long time since warfare ceased to be a completely masculine occupation. In 2015, women were allowed to occupy combat positions in the U.S. military, meaning that they got permission to fight on a par with men (Center for Military Readiness [CMR], 2019). However, the natural distinctions between the two genders have not disappeared. Women usually have less physical strength; therefore, “treating women like men in the combat arms would increase injuries and weaken mission readiness” (CMR, 2019, para. 5). Despite this fact, the ACFT established equal requirements for female and male soldiers of any age. As a result, most women appeared to be unable to meet the new standards. There is evidence that out of 3,206 soldiers that took part in the ACFT, 84% of women and 30% of men failed to score the necessary number of points (CMR, 2019). Buckner (2019) argues that the leg tuck, which is the most difficult event in the ACFT, is the only exercise that prevents women from succeeding in the test. However, female soldiers generally perform worse than their male counterparts. For example, wh
Executive Summary This business plan outlines the Project of creating a multi-brand retail online store that will sell products of the light industry in the dropshipping system. Enterprises in China and Turkey carry out retail and small wholesale trade and work on a system of dropshipping to foreign markets. As the range of goods increases, the geography of the online store will also expand. The ultimate goal is to enter the markets of as many countries as possible. Dropshipping, or drop shipping contract, is one of the business models, the essence of which is that the intermediary does not have stocks of goods in the warehouse but buys them from the manufacturer when he receives an order for it and is paid by the buyer. Either they transfer the order to the wholesaler and then send it themselves, or the order is sent immediately by the manufacturer, while a commission is charged. This framework of organizing the work of an online store is suitable for starting a business in trade, does not require large investments, and also allows testing the market and products. The work of the online store will be adjusted at all stages of work, which will make it possible to declare itself as a high-level service. This will be confirmed by:   * a convenient and understandable interface of the site;   * the ability to filter products by various parameters;   * permanent organization of actions;   * interactive support for website visitors and customers;   * informative and high-quality content and photos;   * provision of guarantees, demonstration of quality certificates;   * prompt delivery. The target audience of the Project is a population of 23-50 years old, with an average income level. As a rule, these are the people who spend a lot of time on the Internet, are not afraid to take risks and test new services and sites, and for whom the brand is not important for making purchasing decisions. Service customers can afford to wait for a package for several weeks. The core of the target audience will comprise active young people who own pets and are ready to spend money on better items and accessories for them. The online store will sell light industry goods of the middle price category, produced at factories in Turkey and China using the dropshipping system. Initially, the assortment of goods will consist of Products for cats, Products for dogs, Protection against fleas and ticks, Products for aquarists, Products for rodents and
