Introduction Success in life is only guaranteed by proper planning. Proper planning at the individual and even organizational level requires appropriating all available resources or capacities and identifying in what way they can best be used for maximal gains. It requires scanning the environment and identifying anchors that can be relied on for success. This paper presents my roadmap to a successful career in the banking sector. Apart from my career plan, it also presents general views on how recruitment is done. Most importantly, the paper presents a self-evaluation in relation to what happens in the job market. Career Plan We live in a very fast-paced world. Our world of today has numerous opportunities but not much security, especially the security of tenure. In the days of my grandparents and even parents, the security of tenure was assured. People used to work hard at school, then they would get jobs in organizations and managed to grow within the given organizations until retirement. Due to technological and socio-economic changes, the job market is more unpredictable with the coming of each day. It is for this reason that creating a dynamic career plan is very crucial. As technological and social-economic changes make the security of tenure untenable, people are tending towards entrepreneurship and being multi-skilled. The recent world recession proved yet again how unstable even old secure professions like mechanical engineering could be. In the recent recession, from which economies around the world are steadily pulling out, many people were got off guard. It just happened that all of a sudden banks were making losses due to bad loans or credit. Failing financial institution necessarily translated into many other companies’ fortunes dwindling. The most stable of brands like General Motors were threatened with indefinite closure due to losses. My career plan is as in the figure below: – Career Plan. My career goal is to find a job in a bank and gradually grow through the ranks as I gain financial management related skills and experience. I hope to one day become a top manager in a bank, and after some years of successful operations, I plan to start my own business and become an employer. I look forward to a career in banking because my training has been in banking-related studies. Additionally, I have also had attachments in financial institutions. Short Term Career Objective My short term career objective is to gain entry into a banking institution after graduation. From what I have read in job advertisements, most employers or recruiters seeking people who have some experience. Looking for a fulltime job immediately after graduation, I have come to understand, can be very frustrating. Despite having the necessary knowledge, having some experience in the industry plays a critical role in earning one the dream job. The internship is the best way towards bolstering one’s chances in the job market. I realize that banks do not employ fresh graduates on a permanent basis. I, therefore, hope to work for some time as an intern as I gain experience for long term eng
China is becoming an exceptional user and supplier of chemicals and due to its growth potential and high demand within and beyond including its western counterparts who are now being left behind due to Chinas cheap labor advantage. China will become the 2 nd largest producer of chemical and chemical related goods in 2015 after U.S.A and an expected growth of 5% with revenue reaching to EUR 400 billion (Perlitz 2005). Currently, China has a capacity to produce well above 2million tons of ethylene which is subject to change due to natural calamities and other uncontrollable factors (Perlitz 2005). The chemical giants in china are being financed by joint direct investment by foreign countries or business partners who could improve if less bottle necks are observed as far as logistics are concerned within china. The plant capacity of china is unmatchable having a high demand and comparatively low wage of cost. It is a capital intensive industry. Some huge Chinese chemical companies are: China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), China National Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and China National Chemical Corporation (CNCC) respectively. Basic petrochemical and the chemicals market in general only take up projects that are above or equal to a volume of 800,000 tons (Perlitz 2005). The primary focus of china is on basic chemicals like ammonia, benzene, chlorine, ethylene and propylene which are used in manufacturing the feedstock of cattle and other animals. The German BASF along with Sinopec (china) initiated a plant in Nanjing having 1,500 workers altogether (Perlitz 2005). There are two chemicals that are used in producing plastics which are ethylene and propylene for ship building, house hold goods and toys. Some chemicals for a large number of flavors, scents, additives, adhesives, coatings etc are also produced in china having a market share of about 30%. Apparently, Asia holds 50% of chemical fiber share with 25% share held by china alone. These are synthetic fibers as compared to the natural fibers because of the increasing demand which cannot be fulfilled through the production of huge quantities of natural fiber. China also holds the position for being the biggest exhibiter of synthetic dyes producing around 600,000 tons per year (Perlitz 2005). Apart from Chinas production capacity certain loopholes are present; For instance, china imports resources and raw materials which are not available internally and there is a limited energy supply having costly methods of producing or buying oil, gas, petrol for generators (Perlitz 2005).Research indicates that once industries like automobile, electronics and construction thrive the chemical industries out put will in
Introduction: Political Situation in Narrative Films: Gripping Reality Of all movie genres, documentary seem the least enthralling for the general audience; while it is hard to consider the events of the past as something to be cared about in present, the omnipotent narrator, who, as a rule, takes the hold of the plot, can be quite a nuisance. However, with the help of several peculiar approaches undertaken to view the events in Northern Ireland from a different perspective, Carol Reed and Neil Jordan actually managed to create three-dimensional characters that possess a certain romantic element. Even in the light of the tragic events that tore Northern Ireland apart, one can still see that the documentaries offer their vision of what happened at that time with a glimmer of romanticism. With the help of a number of specific techniques, the movie directors manage to make the lead characters of the Odd Man Out and The Crying Game closer to the reader, helping the latter relate to the people depicted in both movies. Using a number of various techniques, Carol Reed and Neil Jordan manage to convey the very essence of the romanticism in the Ireland at the very beginning of the XX century, in the thicket of riots, treachery and open fire. Analyzing the movies closer, one can possibly see a common pattern in the manner in which each of the movies depict their characters, as well as trace the key means which help the movie directors achieve the specific romantic effect that both movies are shot through with. Documentary genre as a luckiest find for political movies It goes without saying that documentary is a very specific genre to shoot movies in. While allowing to represent carefully the cadence of events that led to a certain situation or to tell someone’s biography in a very precise way, documentary still has its own laws of filmmaking which cannot be attributed to any other genre. However, when it comes to depicting Ireland, while avoiding all possible clichés concerning the IRA and trying to overcome the numerous obstacles of mass prejudice against Ireland and its political situation, the documentary genre seems a perfect find. In the given case, a documentary movie will allow to represent the facts about the IRA soldiers and the Irish po
The given case is an outstanding demonstration how an individual with a disability can get help regarding his or her employment. William’s parents can refer to the Department of Rehabilitation of the State of California in order to acquire assistance with his future independent living and employment support. Services for transition-age students with disabilities include counseling and guidance, job search, placement assistance, and post-employment services (“Employment Services”). The eligibility criteria are fairly simple, where a person must possess a disability and have trouble finding an employment. When William becomes an adult, he will be able to refer to the Department of Rehabilitation for independent living and the Department of Developmental Services for supported living services. Both of them have supported living services, such as assistance with moving into a house, personal attendants, daily living activity involvement, and managing personal finances (“Supported Living Services”) . Both Social Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) are plausible options for William, but the difference is manifested in the fact of employment. William will not be able to benefit from both programs simultaneously, and thus, he will have to choose one of them. He can choose SSI, if he has a job with low income, and he can select SSDI, if he has no job or source of income (“Disability Benefits”). Therefore, William will receive some financial support regardless of his employment status.
Introduction Names of places and people are a vital aspect of Native American culture as they denote thoughts, language, and environment. The implication is that the history and identity of a region can easily be established from its description. Thus, when a word fails to reciprocate the present state of whatever it is supposed to represent, it raises concern. In her poem, “Manhattan Is a Lenape Word,” Diaz raises questions regarding the whereabouts of the Natives. The objective of this paper is to analyze how Diaz’s poem and the folklore, “The Creation or Age of Beginning,” account for the missing Aboriginal community. Although everything appears to be glittering, the silence amidst near extinction of the Indian Americans calls for attention from all races. Disappearance of American Indians When a person is unable to change a situation, they must look for an alternative coping mechanism. The first stanza of Diaz’s poem contains just a single line, “it is December and we must be brave” (Diaz stanza 1, line 1). The modal verb “must,” in the sentence, denotes that there is no other alternative. The reader may find it ironic that courage is needed in December, the month that is characterized by celebrations, holidays, and family gatherings. However, in the consecutive stanzas, the audience begin to understand and empathize with the persona. She is all alone, the rest of the people belonging to her ethnic group have vanished. However, no one seems to care, let alone enquire of their whereabouts. When the end of the year comes, she must be courageous enough to bear the loneliness. The Indian mythologies can help the reader appreciate the damage caused to the few Native Americans still present in the city. Specifically, it is apparent from the folk tales that the Native Americans were people who had an appreciation for family. Navajo narrates how the first man met the woman and asked “Why do you not come with your fire and we will live together?” (O’Bryan 1). The persona in Diaz’s poem grieves that she is the only one of her kind left. Being on the window of the “8 th floor” of a hotel connotes that she can see people across the streets and other buildings (Diaz stanza 4, line 3). The implication is that her judge
Al-khober is a massive urban city in the Eastern frontier of Saudi Arabia. The city’s is located along the Persian Gulf coast line. Such attributes make this city a hub of commercial activities in this nation and also in the larger Middle East region. The city has a population of about half a million. The city is part of the larger Dammam metropolitan region. The surrounding area provides adequate support for the city robust commercial activities. The city seems to serve as an opening to the eastern frontier of this nation owing to its strategic location. The key reason that made me opt to undertake my research in this city is that it is my hometown. As such, I will be at ease when undertaking my research. Additionally, am well versed with the city and all activities undertaken. Al-khober, a coast town attracts many tourists owing to its weather, beaches, culture and hotels. Therefore, tourism seems is a key activity. There are numerous modern hotels that host guests form various nations. Tourism requires infrastructural support such as roads and airports. The King Fahd International Airport is about fifty kilometres form this town and provides easy access to this urban centre. Furthermore, the Dammam highway provides access by road into this town. Initially, the town began as trading centre for merchants. The town has not lost this aspect. Al-khober is a preferred location for various multinational entities in the manufacturing and mining sector. This city is characterised by large shopping complexes that serve the tourists and residents. Overall, this town is a business hub where many of the local residents have invested. Among the investors are women who are key in this research. Challenges experienced in gathering data In undertaking my research, I experienced numerous challenges. First, many of the respondents were unwilling to participate in the research. In the research design, interviews was one of the means of amassing data. Moreover, the research was also to utilize phone calls and emails. Despite the elaborate data collection methods, the research was hindered by lack of cooperation. During face-to-face interviews, the respondents were reluctant to provide accurate details. They felt that the researcher would utilize the information for selfish purposes. Additionally, other respondents were unwilling to share information since they seemed not to trust the interviewer. They had reservations about the interviewee’s real agenda. Hence, the details provided were not precise, but based on generalizations. The above research requires precise data. Precise information will enable the researcher make accurate inferences. Generalized responses contain many assumptions that may jeopardise the research. During the research, many emails were sent. The emails contained queries that interviewees should answer. Nonetheless, many of the participants failed to reply to the emails. The means that a large proportion of the target population was unwilling to participate in the research due to varying reasons such as lack of time and laziness. Due t
Virtuous behavior can be considered to be any good deed done by an individual who belongs to a particular society. It also extends to the avoidance of vices that can in any way affect the well-being of other people. Virtue theorists believe virtuous behavior can be determined by specifically asking the person who practices virtue concerning the reason why he does so and not the contrary. Virtue theorists emphasize the need for virtuous behavior to be geared towards good characters such as kindness and generosity. These are the characters that enable people to make better and informed decisions in life. They do not focus much or rule s which people are supposed to adhere to so as to be practicing virtuous behavior. As for an ancient philosopher like Plato, for someone to be virtuous, he/she must be practicing justice, wisdom, temperance, and courage. Aristotle advocated for control over reason and emotions, and this can be achieved by acquiring good characters and habits. According to the ancient philosopher, Socrates virtuous person is someone who has the knowledge, but this tends to be disputed by modern philosophers. For an action to be considered virtuous, it must originate from an individual and be in the self-interest of whoever is claiming to be virtuous. A virtuous person would engage in acts or activities of which to a minor extent, have an effect on the other members of the society. If someone decides to steal or harm others in any way, he or she might receive the same kind of treatment in the future. This can be a deterrent to people from doing what society considers to be a vice. Virtue comes from the will of someone to do good for the sake of others in society because society is a complex of various interactions. For the purpose of co-existence purposes, people have to be virtuous. Avoiding anti-social behaviors willing for the sake of others in society would constitute a virtuous behavior. The religious belief system is a very important component of virtuous behaviors. When an individual decides not to engage in vice-like stealing even when he /she is sure that he /she will not be found doing it, then this constitutes a virtuous behavior. An individual is trying to portray himself with good characters when deep inside he/ she does not do not constitute virtuous behavior. Virtuous behavior is when the interests of society are more important than selfish desires. This can be illustrated in leaders, for instance, when they decide to step aside from their positions just for the sake of a nation. This can constitute virtuous behavior. Before exercising virtuous behavior, knowledge is essential so as to get the clarity between good and bad things that constitute the morality of a given society. It is rationally in the best interest of society when someone acts well or behaves himself even when he
Introduction The YouTube video “Healthcare Quality Assurance Success Story” explains how modern innovations are making it easier for hospitals to improve their customer-service functions. Technologies are improving the process of screening, real-time decision-making, and the delivery of timely services (Military Credentialing, 2012). Strategic decision-making processes can make it easier for service providers to achieve positive results. The case study of the Army National Guard shows how the idea of healthcare quality assurance (QA) can benefit many hospitals (Military Credentialing, 2012). This discussion, therefore, examines the QA approaches used by the Houston Methodist Hospital. Description of the Targeted Facility and Organizational Structure Houston Methodist is “a leading provider of different health services in the Greater Houston area” ( Houston Methodist , 2016, para. 3). The institution is composed of six hospitals and one academic medical facility. The success of this institution is attributable to its core values. These values include accountability, integrity, excellence, and respect ( Houston Methodist , 2016). These values are followed to ensure enviable care is available to more patients in the targeted region. The major priorities targeted by the hospital include service , quality , and safety ( Houston Methodist , 2016). The organization’s research institute undertakes numerous
Introduction: Animal Liberationists and Environmentalists Animal liberationists are groups of people who oppose the use of animals in medical, biological or chemical research work. Animal liberationists fall under the animal liberation movement which is a global animal rights movement that operates under three major components; legal development, direct action and philosophical debate. The animal rights movement seeks an end to the status of animals as property as well as end the legal distinction that exists between human and non human living beings. Animal liberationists believe that all non human animals deserve protection from harmful activities that are meant to benefit human beings (Cahn and Markie 825). Animal liberationists share the believe that the basic interests of non-human animals should be observed and protected and that the legal world should confer these animals legal rights to protect them from any harm or injustice. Animal liberationists differ from utilitarian liberationists who believe that animals do not possess any moral rights. Utilitarian liberationists argue that moral decisions are based on the happiness of the majority number since animals have the ability to withstand suffering and this suffering is usually taken into account in moral decisions. Animal liberationists believe that animals lack the ability to withstand any form of suffering and they therefore advocate that animals should be accorded similar rights to human beings (Cahn and Markie 589). Environmentalists on the other hand believe in environmental conservation and the reduction of environmental pollution to improve the state of the environment. Environmentalism is deemed to have a social movement that advocates for the conservation of the environment through lobbying, activism and education. Environmentalists speak out about the various environmental issues around the world and what people can do to protect the natural resources and ecosystems in the environment. Environmentalists also advocate for the introduction of public policies that will reduce the amount of green house emissions and pollution that takes place in the environment. Environmentalists and environmental organizations in general seek to make the world a greener and safer place to live (Gottlieb 389). Theoretical Perspectives of Animal Liberationists and Environmentalists According to various researchers such as J. Baird Callicott, animal liberationists and environmentalists share distinct and inconsistent theoretical perspectives. Callicott was of the opinion that animals did not deserve any form of rights and he termed animal liberationists to be incoherent when they spoke of animal’s natural behavior. Callicott noted that it was impossible to liberate domesticated animals and that the animal liberationists were betraying the value commitments of the social human movement. With regards to environmentalists, Callicott noted that they were more holistic and real than the animal liberationists sin
