Pair-group activities are fundamental for learning the second language (L2) as it helps to master communication skills and acquire appropriate competencies. However, this sort of cooperation during classes is a complex one because of multiple challenges arising between individuals engaged in team-work. These might include a lack of motivation to perform these tasks that comes from the poor understanding of pair-group activities’ purpose (Loewen, 2014). Additionally, learners can experience emotional discomfort triggered by the necessity to cooperate with other individuals. Finally, students can have a critical difference in knowledge that makes their communication more complex. Eliminating these barriers is central for final success as it ensures that skills will be mastered and promote better L2 understanding. One of the possible strategies to overcome listed difficulties is to ensure that all students are equally prepared. It means that they possess similar knowledge of vocabulary, grammatical structures, and speech to know how to perform tasks. The given approach will help to eliminate the discomfort that might emerge because of the critical differences in knowledge and ensure that all learners will be able to understand the task. Another method presupposes the provision of opportunities to communicate with multiple partners while performing this sort of activity (Loewen, 2014). This strategy guarantees that all learners will interact with each other because of the existence of many options. Finally, it is essential to select the content that will be interesting for students as it will provide the basis for discussions and debates promoting the improvement of speaking skills and L2 mastering. The utilization of these strategies can help to eliminate the majority of difficulties arising when organizing a group work and attain the appropriate result. Discussing the proposed case study, several aspects should be considered as drawbacks. First of all, the model selected by an educator is effective enough to discuss the needed vocabulary and feel the gaps in knowledge; however, regarding the existing guidelines for implementing group work, there were no clear instructions about the purpose of the given task and timeframe needed to complete this assignment. It can result in a lack of time for other activities and loss of control over the situation. Additionally, there should be clear instructions about the number of peers with whom students should interact to avoid chaos and ensure that all learners are included in the process. Disregard of these instructions can constitute a certain problem and corrupt results of the planned speaking activity. To avoid negative results, some improvements can be offered. First of all, an educator should outline the limit for this exercise to be controlled. At the same time, considering the existing guidelines, all students should be provided with an opportunit
Purpose: The purpose of this evidence brief is to prove that the utilization of registered nurses as primary team members interacting with patients during telehealth visits in an outpatient setting will improve patient outcomes.  1.

Introduction Violence against women is a global issue that has captured the attention of many nations in the world hence being put on international agenda. It can be defined as any act concerned with gender based violence that leads into sexual, physical and psychological injury to women (Hague, Kelly & Mullender, 2001). It includes acts such as rape, trafficking in women, partner abuse, female genital mutilation and dowry violence among others. Many women organizations have sprout up in the last ten decades objectively to fight for the women rights. For instance, in the international conference held in 1993 based on human rights it was recognized that human rights cater for all gender either male or female meaning that women rights forms part of human rights. This implies that violation of women rights can be regarded as abusing human rights. According to UN General Assembly of 1993, it was discovered that violence against women is a product of gender inequality which to some extend is true. Due to rampant increase on violence against women, the World Health Organization in 1996 implemented policies and strategies aimed at preventing violence against women and children (Hague, Kelly & Mullender, 2001). Discussion According to the research topic violence against women, the only appropriate approach or method to be used in researching on violence against women is a survey whereby the researcher is supposed to go to the field and sample a population to be interviewed. As already known that in survey a researcher may use either quantitative approach or qualitative approach but the most viable between the two is a qualitative approach because it provides more depth description of the study rather than quantitative that involves the use of numeric values. Based on the study, survey on violence against women using Quantitative approach can be considered appropriate since it involves case studies and interviews that are said to provide enough information for the study (Renzetti, Edleson & Bergen, 2010). Violence against women could only be studied by carrying out a survey on the population of women that is at risk. This will include taking your target population to be women who have been married at a particular point in their lives and those who are currently married. The researcher then should embark on interviewing them by posing questions related to violation of women’s rights. For instance, the researcher intends to know the number of women sexually harassed by their partners or psychologically harmed by husbands through threats among others (Bickerstaff, 2010). The only important thing to change when conducting a survey on violence against women is the manner in which the questions are administered to the respondent or the target population. A researcher should create a rapport with the respondent so that he or she can extract the require information from them meaning that the manner into which the interview is conducted matters a lot to the study outcomes. Leading questions should be avoided because they can lead to poor quality of data collection during the study (United Nations, Joint international Law program & Division for
Introduction The economic aspect of various societies plays a pivotal role in spearheading development at different levels. The fluctuating global currencies demonstrate the influence of different factors on international trade thus explaining the varying demand and supply trends globally. Additionally, the role executed by financial institutions similarly determines the money system and economic growth trends in a given country. In this regard, understanding the several elements of a financial system in a given economy holds essence on the economic disparities and variations noted today. For this reason, the book “The Money Machine: How the City Works” authored by Philip Coggan, a renowned financial journalist, provides insight into financial systems in a particular economy. Importantly, the author covers areas including currency trends, the institutions that affect the financial systems, and issues that lead to the collapse of an economy. The clear and precise account of urban growth linked to fiscal development employed by the author makes it easy to comprehend how the system works. Furthermore, comparing Coggan’s perceptions of the financial processes in a city with that of other scholars reinforces the readers’ comprehension of the economic system. This paper provides an appraisal of the book, “The Money Machine: How the City Works” by considering the views of other authors on the main issues covered in the guide. The Use of Financial Jargon The media plays a chief role in educating the public concerning the various financial matters that affect the undertakings of the City. However, in most cases, the news media uses financial jargon to explain the economic trends in a given economy, in a manner that makes sense to financial professionals and those with limited or basic financial knowledge. As such, the greatest majority in the City fails to capture the correct meaning of the financial headlines thereby making the news less informative since it fails to capture the attention of the public. For this reason, Coggan underlines that besides media houses’ efforts to avoid the use of complex terminology when addressing financial issues, the public needs to put any effort into learning the meaning of different financial jargon. As such, I agree that understanding the meaning of the jargon goes a long way in facilitating the comprehensiveness of issues on economic matters including the financial markets, banking, and housing aspects. Likewise, Van Rooij, Lusardi, and Alessie suggest that news media professionals need to use straightforward terminol
There is no use denying the fact that the modern age could be characterized by the blistering development of small and large businesses. Having realized the advantages and possibilities of the market driven economy, many people decided to start their own business in order to develop their company and become successful. It is obvious, that the process of management of a certain business is a very complicated job which demands a great number of various skills from the owner. Thus, one of the first and most important tasks which a manager should accomplish is to align the efficient supply chain in order to provide good products to customers. Besides, one should also remember the fact that “effective supply chain management has become a potential way nowadays to improve organisational performance” (Singh, Sandhu, Metri, & Kaur, 2010, p. 173). That is why, this issue is given so much attention. The task is also complicated by the fact that the given sphere is regulated by a great number of various laws which should be taken into account. Speaking about the supply chain, it is possible to analyze it in terms of the functioning of Kroger, one of the greatest US retail companies, which has a great number of various supermarkets in different cities across the USA. Kroger is very popular and is usually associated with the high quality of goods along with their affordability. One also admits the fact that being one of the greatest grocery supermarket chains in the country, Kroger follows all rules which exist in the given sphere in order to protect its image. That is why, it is possible to take its supply chain strategy as the example for the analysis. First of all, it should be said that according to Krogers report there is a great number of various goods supplied by its own facilities. Kroger company nowadays owns different food products, dairies, bakeries, cream plant and cheese plants ( Our Brands , n.d). It becomes obvious that the company manufactures a great number of goods which are sold in its supermarkets, that is why it why it could be taken as a self-funding company which is also a great supplier. However, it still needs raw material supply to guarantee the functioning of it facilities. That is why, the company enter into various contracts with the manufacturers of raw materials to align the stable functioning of all its departments. It is obvious, that the given supply chain strategy could be taken as very efficient because of the pattern according to which it is organized. Being a great manufacturer, Kroger depends only on the raw materials. Moreover, it could control the quality of goods by itself, providing a certain strategy and following some procedures. Speaking about the quality, it should also be said that the company adheres to a
Introduction Traffic accidents, cardiovascular diseases, divorce, dysfunctional families have one contributory factor in common; alcoholism. Alcoholism is a condition in which a person finds himself or herself addicted or dependent on alcohol. It does not necessarily manifest in obvious ways, but the person loses control over their consumption of the substance. It has health, social, emotional, physical and psychological ramifications in the alcohol abuser’s life as well as the people around him or her. Since this issue has an adverse impact on society’s well being, then one must analyze its cause. Every person must take responsibility for his actions, and alcoholism is a result of those choices. Overview/history of alcoholism The problem of alcoholism started in Ancient Egypt, where individuals took beer in excess. Historical evidence indicates that even the Romans dealt with alcohol-abuse complications like liver inflammation. In the United States, alcohol consumption was a controversial issue among the settlers. Initially, pilgrims regarded it as a valuable commodity because it was not as susceptible to contamination as water. However, after the establishment of the colony, alcoholism became a problem. During the American Revolution and the civil war the issue turned into a debacle. The first attempt to tackle the problem was in the 1920s when the government passed the prohibition Act. However, underground establishments flourished leading to a repeal of the legislation. In those times, alcoholics were treated as immoral, degenerate and even wicked persons. Currently, some people still hold this view although many also acknowledge that no one sets out to become an alcoholic. Current issues related to alcoholism In the news, one is likely to read about an accident that caused the death or dilapidation of several individuals. Drunk driving is one the most significant causes of death. Therefore, the media attributes such devastating losses to the problem of alcoholism. In these traffic accidents, one often learns that the people involved may not walk again or may not function properly. For instance, the Chicago Tribune reported that a Romeoville woman killed an innocent bystander because she was driving under the influence of alcohol. The victim’s family was devastated by the loss because Marke Bajson (the victim) was a strong, influential and lively person (Meisner 16). Sometimes the media highlights cases of high-profile individuals who separate or divorce from their spouses because of the problem of alcoholism. Many talented celebrities have failed to meet their family
Introduction Is advertising a necessity? Advertising campaigns are essential, since they help the respective companies, to create new markets for their commodity, retain existing customers, and boost their profits. In addition, they allow information to be quickly processed. They also generate strong mental images on the targeted consumer. Understanding these images assists business prospectus to build a brand and enhance memorability on the part of the consumer. In the cookware arena, advertising helps to build lasting mental images, such that, as the client makes his/her decision to purchase an item, the images flip in short videos, at a very high speed. These results from efforts made during advertisement campaigns to create a probability of either the company or the product, will be remembered. Marketers of the various cookware items are supposed to have a deep understanding of the essentiality of the campaigns, functionalism of each campaign method, isolation of the sales period, and the critical time to change the campaign in order to enjoy the benefits of marketing (Bhatia 2000). Discussion Marketing has its benefits, which include increasing the company’s opportunities, to introduce a new brand in the market, determination of a niche in the market, and familiarizing consumers with the benefits of a specific product and its flaws, if any. A brand combines visual and verbal images, to transmit a mental image. Cookware items require to be advertised for a number of reasons. First, there are varieties of cookware items produced by different manufacturers, hence, advertising is critical to survive in the highly competitive environment. As such, advertising campaigns assist the consumer, in quick decision making, on what brand to choose and what company to buy from. They also equip the consumer with knowledge about the methods of application of each of the item and ways of maintenance. They also allow him/her to identify new products in the market, which would offer better services (Cook 2001). Marketers are, thus, burdened with the responsibility of satisfying the needs of their target consumers. As such, to attract the consumers and convince them that the needs are well addressed,
Introduction Every person should make a decision regarding the kind of future career at some point in their lives. On the one hand, there is a variety of supporters of the idea to start the business. For instance, according to Rhonda Abrams, an expert in small business and entrepreneurship, “The independence and flexibility of time is a great advantage of the entrepreneurial life” (USA Today). On the other hand, opponents of this idea highlight that owning a business are associated with numerous challenges. Although having a business is a tremendously popular career opportunity due to unlimited earning potential and independence, working a day job can be considered a more suitable decision for individuals seeking stability and regular cash flow. Pay Consistency Working for an employer is an excellent opportunity that can be used to plan the future. In fact, the individuals working a day job receive regular paychecks, whereas the earnings of entrepreneurs are inherently unpredictable. This belief is especially true in terms of new business when the owner is not aware of the principles which should be maintained on a regular basis. In turn, people having regular cash flow are more likely to cover the mortgage, education, and everyday expenses without stress than entrepreneurs. In the context of owning a business, the person does not have the opportunity to plan future investments, trips, and purchases, as monthly earnings can significantly differ. It is a widely known fact that external and internal factors can affect the success of the business, thereby, requiring the owner to pay additional money. Freedom Taking into consideration that the twenty-first century provides numerous opportunities for professional development, employed individuals can select many areas of work. People working a day job can do things that they would not be able to do as small business owners. For example, delivering custom solutions and products on the basis of the latest IT advancements requires a high-quality infrastructure and reputation. It is difficult to serve these functions without support from other stakeholders, which is why employed individuals tend to rely on entrepreneurs. In case the specific area of work does not satisfy the expectations and needs of employees, they can quit the job and keep looking for other job offerings. At the same time, the majority of business owners cannot develop large-scale projects due to the vast amount of resources that are required to achieve such goals. Thus, working a day job is associated with freedom of choice, while business owners should work on a specific project despite everything. Job Benefits In addition to regular and timely cash flow, employees have the opportunity to benefit from various bonuses, such as health insurance and paid sick leave. Simultaneously, business owners lose money for every day whic
Introduction Today’s business environment presents numerous challenges for new and existing organizations. As such, business entities have had to come up with effective and efficient operational strategies in order to remain relevant and profitable in an increasingly competitive arena. To achieve this aim, marketing tools and strategies have been used extensively to ensure that a business meets the needs of the customers, has a competitive edge over its rivals and remains profitable in aggressive market situations. Kotler et al (2005) define marketing as the process through which a business plans and executes its concepts regarding products, prices, promotion and distribution of goods and services in order to facilitate exchanges that optimally satisfy the consumer’s and organizational needs, goals and objectives. Marketing Mix: 4 P’s of Marketing The marketing mix is arguably the mot important aspect in marketing. This is attributed to the fact that it covers the basic concepts (4 P’s) of successful marketing. These concepts are price, place, product and promotion. Is used wisely, the marketing mix leads to successful marketing strategies, which in turn guarantees profitability, consumer loyalty, competitive advantage and increased market share for an organization.
