There are several core beliefs concerning Jesus’ identity held by Christians. Jesus as Messiah is a chosen one sent by God to save humanity. The New Testament contains evidence of his miracles and resurrection after death that symbolizes people’s salvation. Thus, for Christians, Jesus is a Crucified and Resurrected Savior who sacrificed his life to take all human sins. He was crucified, suffered, died, and was buried to rise again and ascend into heaven. Jesus as the Son of God or a second person of the Blessed Trinity indicates the existence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Molloy, 2021). They are co-eternal and co-equal – three identities of God are equally important and always exist together. In the Son of God’s identity, Jesus is unique and divine. He holds to love for the Father and access to the Holy Spirit. He is the Son, he is the Father, and he is the Holy Spirit – the only one God in three identities. At the same time, during his life, he guided followers and taught them. In the present day, he could be regarded as a social activist who supports people by providing them with essential principles of humane treatment: “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you” [Luke 6:37–38] (Molloy, 2021, p. 326). He promotes the equality of all people, shows respect for women, and appreciates nature as God’s creation. He translated the messages of love, non-violence, peace, and humility. Christian virtues are immeasurably helpful in various spheres of human activity, including nursing. Regardless of their religion, nurses should have moral resilience as an ability to sustain their integrity in response to distress and moral confusion (Defilippis et al., 2019). In addition, nursing requires equal respect for all patients and their dignity, altruism beneficence, love, and compassion. Respect for all individuals regardless of their race, gender, age, and social status and the promotion of equity are essential for the establishment of social justice in the modern world as well.
There is no doubt that over the last few centuries American pop culture has deeply permeated through society and occupied every little aspect of the daily life of each family in the US. Mass culture is highly accessible due to the modern media, it inspires, dictates manipulates and encourages, and its scale is exciting and frightening at the same time. However, sophisticated and manipulative as it is, American pop culture still holds on to the most “American” values, such as democracy and freedom of being able to decide what it is that you want and being able to achieve it. Popular culture is a collective of ideas, values, aspirations, and commercial products that are dominant in mainstream society. It is manifested in different genres and forms of art, and it possesses an ideological constituent. The latter is distributed through the books and movies, music, TV shows, commercials, papers and magazines, Facebook and Twitter, and this constituent became so prominent in the world that it is considered to “have shaped contemporary globalization” (Crothers 14). Some American culture icons are so powerful, that their names became allusions to indicate a certain lifestyle. In Gilmore Girls TV Series, well known for their pop-culture references, Lorelai calls a young man, who is just passing through town “a regular Jack Kerouac” (Wessel par. 1). It is quite common for girls to dream to be Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, or Beyoncé and for the boys to copy James Dean. Indeed, popular culture tends to form and standardize society but at the same time, it is being formed by the same society itself. These days popular culture and its mass influence are often regarded as a disease of the population and are used in a negative connotation. Modern idols are considered to foster consumerism, implant the aspirations for money, fame and destructive behavior and, more than anything, depreciate a human brain’s ability to think. Mass media is by far the most vigorous “shaper of a modern pop culture” (Johnson 256). Since the majority of the world’s population has easy and unlimited access to various sorts of media, it makes mass culture a powerful tool to bias a person’s opinions and decisions, while giving a person an illusion that the decision was his or her own. Nevertheless, as it usually happens, every idea, that is inherent to a certain majority will eventually trigger an opposition. Cantor writes in his book: “America was born in a rebellion, and its popular cul
Introduction Every person in this world is born with an inherited ability to persuade (Pullman 13). Persuasion allows one person to influence another so that the person being influenced will act as the one who is persuading wishes. Thus, this ability is something that many might desire. However, it is not so easy to learn how to persuade people. Persuasion requires precision of actions, an understanding of human emotions and the ability to read them effectively, and charisma that is either developed or present without any training. In any case, a persuasion is a tool used mainly by politicians and people who possess a particular authority. It is crucial for these people to know how to persuade. Persuasion as a set of techniques and methods, along with its peculiarities, will be the focus of this paper. History of Persuasion The first people to recognize persuasion and use it to their benefit were the Greeks, who paid a great deal of attention to the way a person conveyed ideas through speech. The success of politicians and other types of activists was determined based on their skill in rhetoric and elocution. Politicians’ ability to persuade was tested, for example, in the Assembly. Just as in modern times, both the prosecution and the defense mainly depended on the ability of the one prosecuting or defending to persuade the jury. A speaker used the means of rhetoric to find ways to persuade people at any given moment. It was important to take advantage of every situation. Aristotle listed four reasons to invest one’s personal time in the art of persuasion: the ability to achieve justice, the ability to teach properly, consideration of each side of a problem, and the fact that persuasion is the best tool with which to build a defense. Furthermore, Aristotle derived three basic elements of persuasion (ethos, logos, and pathos
The consequences of World War II led to Germany’s falling apart into four occupation zones. There were three western zones – American, British, and French, and an eastern Soviet zone. This eastern zone occupied by Soviet troops received the name East Berlin. It is informative to look at what happened to Germany (particularly Berlin) after the division between the allied powers. Overall, the division of Germany is a consequence of the Second World War and the struggle between two political forces – western and eastern. The Soviet troops started a blockade of West Berlin in 1948. After World War II, Germany was ruined. Multiple wreckage and deconstructions turned Berlin into ruins. After the zone separation, The Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) wanted to prove that residents in need of housing deserve luxurious houses. They wanted to create a new city, free from inequalities (Stangl 190). The project involved perfect homes, which represented the supremacy of socialism. On the contrary, Interbau opposed the project of the GDR as a response to the socialistic east. These two projects do not share similarities; while Stalinallee aimed to show the wealth, Interbau was generated for common lively purposes. In 1961, the building of the Berlin Wall started. It remains unclear whether the idea of this construction was born in Germany or Moscow. However, it became clear that the German people were separated not only by zone division but also by the wall. The wall became a direct answer from GDR leaders to the unwillingness of their citizens to live under socialism and a symbol of an explicit separation. From August 1961 to November 1989, the Berlin Wall divided Germany into West and East zones. For West and East Germans, it meant the separation from their families and natives. Sometimes the wall came across a single street, and people tried to climb over it. However, as the length of the wall was relatively decent, inhabitants tried to escape to another part of the city. Unfortunately, most of those escapes were fatal for them. Thus, stricter police measures were implemented to avoid such runaways. The work by Stöver, 2013, discusses the history of Berlin and includes the story of the postwar period and the beginning of the Cold War. On April 28, 1945, the Soviet general and a military commander of Berlin Nikolai Berzarin started to appoint German district mayors. Nowadays, it is known that those posts were vacant for “selected people” (Stöver 83) to start preparation for policies on occupation. Most of these leaders were communists or members of the Socialist Unity Party, and various anti-fascist policies began. Berlin was destroyed after World War I
Corporate governance regards the rules, principles, or laws through which a business or organization is controlled or regulated. Its existence is shown by the internal and external factors set by the various parties involved. Such members are the shareholders, government, the firm through its constitution, officers, customers, and other clients to the organization. From the reference company, a board of directors is used to give out the directives that the firm is to follow, in its operation to achieve results. As at incorporation of Disney Company, the law allowed the board to consist of not less than eleven and not more than twenty-one directors. Directors are expected to be independent of the organization to devote their ability and integrity in guiding the control of the firm. The nature of customer governing arises from the agency relationship with the directors (Walt Disney Company, 2011). Management acts to supervise the working of subordinate staff like the chief executive officers and their continued renewal. The board is also entitled to the approval of all the major decisions involving finances as well as the management of the business. They are expected to provide detailed data concerning the operation of the firm to the various interested parties. Decision-making entails proper analysis of the data from past or current transactions in focus on what is to be in the future. The financial statement from the summary of the firm transactions needs is accurate and well established. The management team consisting of directors has an obligation to ensure that the data analyzed is reviewed for accuracy. It is also necessary to prepare the statements on due dates prior to decision time. As the company has legal regulations, it calls for the preparation of statements complying with the set accounting and legal standards (Walt Disney Company, 2011). The documents prepared to give the detailed data must be covering the whole or general operations of the firm showing the completeness of the information. Disney Company has to ensure an efficient flow of information to aid in quick and informed decisions made. Technology act to be the quickest mode to use. In this regard, the company has a media network structure to ease data flow. Blog sites are in a place where distant customers can communicate and place orders and reservations. In addition, the firm holds regular exchange programs through meetings and conventions that create interaction moments between the clients and the management. In return, the clients give suggestions, complaints, and approval to the services and products of the firm. The board then has the duty to ensure the failures are rectified and where suggestions are within reach, implement them. Every business has an obligation on dealing with the various risks involved in the operation. The Disney firm security pack i
Introduction Economics is a social science, which is concerned with the distribution of scarce resources amongst limited, competing and insatiable wants of consumers. The invisible hand principle was coined by Adam Smith; a classical economist, to elucidate how the market regulates itself in a capitalistic setting (McConnell and Brue 1). The aforementioned resources are usually employed in the production of goods, and provision of services to the myriad types of markets; where producers and consumers interact. Incidentally, due to competition in these markets; there is always friction between producers and consumers which is occasioned by the need of producers to exercise their desire of profit maximization, and the consumer’s need to attain maximum utility per commodity purchased. This is tantamount to the consumer, being on the highest possible indifference curve; as indicted by a rational consumer yearning to be on indifference curve I 1 in the graph below. Graph One In the preference map above, a consumer operating on indifference curve I 1 is a utility maximizing agent; choosing to be where there is optimum combination of commodity X and Y. Producers on the flipside, gravitate towards maximizing their profits by minimizing their production costs. The invisible hand therefore, is natural equilibrating component of the market, which provides a middle ground between producers and consumers with regard to their welfare. The Circular Flow of Income Seemingly, the primary constituents of the economy in a macroeconomic perspective are the household and the firm. In a circular flow of income mechanism, there is always exchange of services, products and income between these two agents. The invisible hand principle assumes that; there is no government intervention in the market where these agents interact, to counter market imperfections. Diagram: Showing Economic Exchange between Households and Firms. The Price Mechanism Ordinarily, the basic microeconomic principle with regard to equilibrium between demand and supply, is the price mechanism; where demand and supply automatically self- correct to attain a price and quantity that is ideal to both producers and consumers. In situations where demand exceeds supply, there is shortage and where supply exceeds demand there is a surplus. The invisible hand is mandated with the task of equilibrating demand and supply in the market. Graph Two The Free Market, Command and Mixed Economies Much as we may acknowledge the existence of free market economies, in reality there is no way that an economy can function smoothly with the reliance on the invisible hand exclusively; without the government’s input (Suntum 10). In practice most economies that purport to be free market economies, are typically mixed economies where both the invisible hand and the state play dual roles; in ensuring that, consumers are cushioned from high prices set by producers. Additionally, producers are able to produce in a fair and conducive environment. Therefore, a mixed economy is an amalgamation of the command economy’s government intervention, and the free market economy’s invisible
This paper provides brief information on communication issues within organizations. Information exchange is one of the most vital parts of any company. Today, more research is being conducted on this subject matter. Generally, both organizational structure and characteristics of individual employees impact the communication processes. Therefore, barriers related to both aspects are covered in the text, along with their descriptions, common causes, and potential solutions. I work as a Logistics Engineer for an oil company that distributes fuel to commercial customers and government organizations, so there are going to be references to real-life scenarios. Communication is vital because accurate coordination is necessary for this company to function correctly. Executive Summary There is a link between how companies approach communication and their performance. The effectiveness of information exchange and the results of the organization’s activities are directly related, as evidenced by a study conducted among employees of Western companies (Boies, Fiset, & Gill, 2015). Leadership styles that are used within organizations also play a vital role in improving team performance and facilitating creativity (Boies et al., 2015). The researchers suggest that different areas of transformational leadership should be emphasized to reach different sets of outcomes (Boies et al., 2015). However, among other critical processes, trust between team members and effective communication is the most significant (Boies et al., 2015). For instance, most of the coordination activities of our logistics team occur during in-person meetings. Lack of trust would serve as a significant hindrance to completing the tasks of the meetings. Main Issues There are negative consequences that are associated with improper communication or lack of it. The first outcome is that the coordination of the organization’s processes will be disrupted, and the activity planning will experience a severe disorder (Mumby & Kuhn, 2018). Another might re-perform the work completed by one employee, which will be a waste of resources. The image of the organization, which indirectly or directly affects the profitability, performance, and, therefore, the sustainability of the organization, might get injured (Mumby & Kuhn, 2018). For instance, one logistics engineer receives certain information from a client organization. If I interact with the same organization and begin to request the same information, this will be negatively perceived by the client. They may even switch to another oil supply company and end our partnership. Lack of communication also has adverse effects on new employees. Their adaptation is going to be difficult because they will spend much more time understanding the processes taking place in t
The increased well-being of people combined with the high pace of globalization has resulted in great demand for air transport around the world. Additionally, statistics show that air transport is one of the safest kinds of transport (Dunn 2017). The combination of these facts has contributed to the emergence of the great demand for aircraft. However, this increased demand has also introduced another significant problem related to the organization of air transportation and the standards for passenger safety. The fact is that heavy passenger flow can be a serious problem for an airport and its staff. Furthermore, with a current international situation that is characterized by tense relations as a result of terrorist threats and anti-terror wars, airports have become a primary target for terrorists because they play an important role in the functioning of a state, its infrastructure, its population, and more. Moreover, there are always many representatives of different states present there, a fact that could be exploited to attract attention and draw a response across global society. Finally, there are numerous engineering challenges unique to airc
Introduction I want to create a persuasive that will increase the rate of college students seeking treatment for mental health. Goal The goal of the campaign is to destigmatize, educate, encourage, and stimulate mental health aid for students on campus. The primary objective is to increase mental health service utilization by students. This can be measured on a quarterly basis via statistics from student counseling services as well as potential private providers if they are willing to share general data regarding the number of students utilizing these professional services and whether there is a percentage increase from previous years and quarter over quarter. Measures such as unique patients as well as repeated visits can be helpful. Another secondary goal is to make mental health aid more accepted in the student community, so even though a student may not need aid at the time, they would be willing to consider it or recommend it to their friends at times of need. Something like this can be measured through a self-response survey measuring attitudes via scales. Overall, mental health is a complex topic, so stimulating mental health service utilization is a difficult topic. It is not a one or even two-step action. For most people, it is an in-depth evaluation and consideration of their behaviors and needs. Therefore, the approach has to be wholesome to include education about it, starting public discourse, and reducing stigma around the topic. The goal is for students to feel comfortable and actually utilize mental health services in situations where they feel something is wrong or unusual about their mental state. Target Audience The primary target audience is the students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, as this is where the author of this campaign attends. The topic is also directly aimed at college-level students, so anyone attending any type of college (community, part-time, full-time) as well as more advanced education programs (master’s and Ph.D.) can benefit. The campaign is aimed at students in academic settings of all types. As a relatively large school, it is likely that there are students that fall into the statistics discussed above that suffer from a mental health condition and are reluctant or unsure how to receive psychiatric help. The level of emotional and mental disturbance plays an essential role as well. There are spikes in decreasing mental health rates among international students, those who are targeted by bullying, and those who are adjusting to college workloads (Bouchrika, 2020). While not all students are equally in the risk zone, the current situation with high-stress levels from COVID-19 and lockdowns puts everyone under pressure and makes professional counseling more essential than ever.
