Introduction To begin with, it should be stated that the highest responsibility for teaching children sexuality and all the issues, associated with sex is on parents. The fact is that school and teachers can give only the basis, and the biological factors of sexuality, while parents’ assignment is to explain the emotional, moral, and psychological factors of sexuality and behavior, basing on their own knowledge and life experience. Discussion First of all, it should be stated that most parents are afraid of talking with their children about sex as they just do not know what to start with. Then, the kid grows and gets all the knowledge from literature, TV, and media. Surely, all the imaginations and information are distorted by childish comprehension and mass media prejudice. Everything that parents may do in these circumstances is to try to change the kid’s views on sex, while the point of view has been already shaped. There are no strict rules when the talks should be started, nevertheless, it is necessary to take into consideration that high trust should be between kid and parent to talk about sex, as this topic is very delicate, and requires gentle and careful behavior, especially if the kids are in their teens. As a mother of two boys, I claim that education should be started from the toddler period when you teach your kids “this is your nose, and this is your finger”, add, “This is your penis” etc. This little human should clearly realize what and where he or she does have, consequently, there is no necessity to conceal some obvious things. As the child grows, parents may add some material to their education, read corresponding books, show educational movies, and initiate explaining dialogues. It has been already stated, that the biological factors of sexuality are generally taught in school, nevertheless, it is necessary to give at least basic knowledge on the biological processes in the organism, and, surely hygiene. A very important thing that should be properly emphasized in dialogues, dedicated to sexuality and sexual behavior is that children should understand that sexual relations entail not only sexual contact but also caring concern and responsibility. If a child is in pre-teenage, the messages on responsibilities and consequences of sexual activity should be included. The conversations with kids in their 11 12 should also entail discussions and talks on the matters of unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and the ways of contraception. All these issues may be discussed only with close people. The fact is that the most difficult period is the teenage when the body of adolescents starts transforming, and the acceptance of their personality by themselves changes essentially. It is necessary to maintain trust and be careful in notifications, messages, etc. Parents should stay the No One persons, who the adolescent may address for help, advice or just to share his or her feelings and considerations. Conclusion In conclusion, it is necessary to emphasize that only parents are responsible for the sexual education of their childre
Introduction Marketing is a vital component of any business undertaking. It determines the extent to which one’s products or services are accepted on the market. Although most companies are doing well in this respect, there have been allegations that marketing has not been fully embraced in some industries. In this regard, this paper discusses marketing challenges in the healthcare industry. The paper asserts that the best way to market healthcare services is to avoid marketing and concentrate on service delivery. Some of the strategies successfully employed in other industries are discussed in relation to the healthcare industry. Marketing Strategies Marketing strategies can be designed based on product, prising, location or extensive promotion. Some strategies work better in certain industries than others (Powers & Jack, 2008). Product Strategies Companies that employ product strategies strive to enhance customer satisfaction (Powers & Jack, 2008). This can be achieved by ensuring that products yield better results and are easy to use. According to Powers and Jack, product strategies involve innovation and differentiation (2008). A differentiated product is defined as one that stands out from the rest. As Powers and Jack points out (2008), the kind of services offered in the healthcare industry makes innovation and differentiation difficult. The industry is highly regulated because of the high risks involved. As a result, there is no flexibility that is required for innovation. In addition, people are creative when the consequences of mistakes are not so severe. Mistakes in healthcare industry come with deadly repercussions. The consequences range from litigation to cancellation of operating licence. As a result, most players focus on perfection rather than innovation. This makes it difficult to achieve product differentiation (Powers & Jack, 2008). Under such circumstances, it becomes likely that one will find similar services and procedures in different hospitals. Without product differentiation, a hospital cannot put itself in advantageous position. It should be noted that this factor affects all players and no particular firm is disadvantaged. Companies can, therefore, concentrate on service delivery and benefit from the increasing demand for healthcare services rather than commit resources on marketing. Prising Strategies In the absence of innovation, most firms resort to prising strategies. This is an elimination tactic employed by big firms to reduce competition. Thomas (2002) observes that prising strategy cannot work in the healthcare industry. Prices are already too low as a result of the government’s initiative to avail healthcare services to minority groups that are economically disadvantaged (Thomas, 2002). This puts players in financial constraints that cannot allow them to cut price
The Play’s Analysis It is considered as a memory play. It can therefore be exhibited with rare independence of convention. Owing to its noticeably subtle or questionable content, environmental inferences and finesses of direction take up a very pertinent role. Expressionism as well as other untraditional approaches in drama possesses just a single valid goal which is a quicker methodology to realism or truth. When a playwright chooses to use exceptional methods in writing his play, it is not thought or should not be in a bid to elude its mandate of countenancing reality or inferring knowledge, but it should be a process of trying to get an easy way to show or clear way to express issues as they exist. Music, screening, and lighting are important factors of consideration when developing a play and should be well done. All these are achieved in the play as one experiences reading through its plots and lines. Tom Wingfield Tom takes a double role in this play. The first role is that of a character having memoirs that the play writes about. The second role is that of a character who mainly acts bound by these very memoirs. It is these double roles which underpin the tension in the play pulling between dramatic realism shown in the play and recollection’s disruption of realism. There are moments in the play when Tom speaks directly to the audience in a bid to offer a more isolated clarification and evaluation of events that have occurred on stage. The other characters do not do this. Nevertheless, at the same moment, he exhibits actual and at times infantile sentiments as he participates in the acts within the play. This kind of dualism can upset our consideration of Tom since it is difficult to come to conclusion whether he is that kind of person whose evaluations should be taken seriously or a character who permits his feelings to dent a blow to his personal judgment. In addition it shows the way recollection is intrinsically challenging. This is because memory is normally incorporated to deal with a past where an individual was not as virtuous as he may be at present. Even when considered as the only character within the play, contradiction seems to fill his life. On one side of the coin, he immerses himself into reading literature, writing poetic contents, and hopes for the better things in life. However, on the other side of the coin, Tom appears intricately bound for the grotesque, simple environment of the Wingfield family. Amanda Wingfield One distinct character which marks the play’s dramatic plot can be said to be that of a faded southern belle. Wingfield clearly represents this attribute. Typically, the playwright’s faded belle is one from a well-known community or fami
The principal targets of Economics One of the principal targets of Economics is the intention to improve people’s standards of living. However, the practical implementation of this idea seems to be challenging. At present, there is no confirmed method to achieve this goal. Meanwhile, the thoughts of Adam Smith on the subject are not only valuable in terms of a better understanding of the issue but also comply with the principles of economics (Mankiw, 2021). The economist saw society’s future in mutual assistance and cooperation, and such an approach allows drawing an analogy between his ideas and specific economic concepts. The main principle that relates to Smith’s ideas is the correspondence of the cost of goods to the received benefits. It explicitly demonstrates that the more people give in return for products, the more they get as a result (Mankiw, 2021). From the perspective of human relationships, this concept can be applied to any kind of cooperation since the giver is the one who ultimately benefits most. Another principle that correlates with Smith’s vision is the response of people to incentives (Mankiw, 2021). It indicates the reaction to changes, including one’s behavior, and fits into the idea of being considerate. A turning point in economic development in 1914 The importance of July 28, 1914, and the month of August 1914 is defined by the fact that they marked a turning point in economic development with the outbreak of World War I. During the period preceding the conflict, world technology and the economy were developing rapidly (Amadeo, 2020). The time under consideration changed the situation entirely and reversed the process to blaze a new path for the economics of the future. The suspicion towards foreign citizens was growing and resulted in a row of
The diagnosis of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorder becomes very widespread nowadays. It is quite difficult for many scientists to find out the major reason for such cross-gender identification. Nevertheless, there are many descriptive features and factors which help to make this diagnosis. The Gender Identity Disorder may be classified as sexually attracted to males, sexually attracted to females, sexually attracted to both and sexually attracted to neither. Sexual and Gender Identity Disorder is usually diagnosed according to 4 criteria. Criterion A presupposes the strong desire to be the other sex or the evidence of persistent cross-gender identification. Cross-gender identification consists not only of the evidence of the advantages of being the other sex but also the discomfort or a sense of inappropriateness of being the assigned sex. This sense of discomfort belongs to Criterion B. Criterion C includes a concurrent intersex condition. And the last factor, Criterion D, is “clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational and other areas of functioning” ( Gender Identity Disorders Section in DSM IV, TR , n.d.). Boys with Gender Identity Disorder are fond of women’s clothes namely dresses, tights, high-heeled shoes and different things of innerwear. They prefer to play with girl mates with dolls. These boys usually play female roles in playing. They are sensitive and emotional like girls. On the contrary, girls with Gender Identity Disorder are dissatisfied with parents’ requests to wear female clothes like dresses. They like boys’ clothing and short hair. These girls usually play with boys and their plays are often aggressive with the use of fights and toy guns (Zucker, 2009). Adults with Gender Identity Disorder demonstrate their desire to be of the other sex acquiring the physical appearance of the other sex and adopting its social roles. Their main aim is that the public treats them as if they were of the other sex. There are many associated descriptive features and mental disorders which contribute to the development of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorder. According to DSM-IV-TR, many individuals with Sexual Disorder are isolated. Isolation and ostracism may be the reason for the development of this disease. The diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder may coexist with different symptoms of depression, Separation Anxiety Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It should be noted, that not all children with the above diagnoses have Gender Identity Disorder. More than that, these Personality Disorders are more often di
Executive summary Marketing recovery in businesses is essential especially in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. It involves restoration of everything that has been lost because of a catastrophe or otherwise. A tsunami hit Thailand at one of its coastal beaches, affecting the tourism sector. This sector is one of Thailand’s economic backbones. For this reason, researchers included 250 travel agencies in a market research and collaborated with the government and the Tourism Authority of Thailand to establish a post tsunami-marketing plan to revive the tourism market. The marketing research, which mainly included advertising and promotions, attracted tourists increasing the number of tourists, though at a lower rate. Further, the assurance of safety by the government enabled the tourists to return to the affected areas. However, there is still a need for the government to improve crisis management in the industry by designing physical infrastructures, which withstand the forces of such disasters when they happen. The travel agencies should also enhance awareness on the same to tourists. Introduction Tourism industry has been one of the leading factors contributing to the economy of Thailand. This is because of the attractive features and hospitality of the people in the country. The industry has continued to grow over the years by approximately 20 per cent, and the number of tourists reaching 12 million in 2004. On 26 December 2004, an earthquake, off the coast of Sumatra, triggered a tsunami that struck many countries throughout the Indian Ocean. The tsunami disaster affected both the infrastructure and human population, with 223,492 people losing their lives, other 43,320 declared as missing. 400,000 homes were destroyed, and more than 3,000 miles of roads and 118,000 fishing boats damaged. With more than 8,000 people, half of them being tourists, dead or missing in Thailand’s Andaman Coast, the tourism sector was severely hit (Carlsen & Hughes 2007, pg.139). Moreover, many restaurants and rooms were wiped out, coral reefs shattered, and white sand beaches were moved into coconuts groves. The disaster caused not only a destructive consequence to the people there but almost destroyed the tourism market in totality (Rittichainuwat 2006, p.396). Following the disaster, the number of tourists decreased by 10 per cent, with potential tourists cancelling their bookings assuming that all the hotels were destroyed. This spurred researchers to come up with the Phuket Action Plan to restore the tourism sector, which was the source of income and employment in the country. For instance, in Phuket alone, 300,000 people were employed. The researchers included tourism experts and several private and international organizations. The researchers aim was to assess the damages caused by the tsunami, to evaluate and adjust the impact and strategize on how to combat the crisis in the future. Objectives   * To restore the travel confi
Introduction Materialism has taken precedence over humanity in contemporary society. Melville had foreseen this fact when he wrote Bartleby the Scrivener. This is a masterpiece expounding how materialism can derail humanity and men turn into selfish brutes that care less about fellow men. Bartleby the Scrivener revolves around a “scrivener”, working for a lawyer who doubles as the narrator. After the lawyer places an advert in the local newspaper, Bartleby applies for the position of a copyist and the lawyer hires him. The first few days in job are great for Bartleby, given his swiftness and accuracy in writing. However, as the story unfolds, things change as Bartley starts to shun his duties for no good reason. The Lawyer tries to fire him but he cannot hear anything of that sort. Finally, Bartley ends in prison on charges of vagrancy and dies few days later. This story is important for it highlights how philistinism and consumerism rose in American society and its effects on charity and humanity. Analysis As aforementioned, the Lawyer, who runs a law firm on Wall Street, is the narrator. He apparently has two copyists, Turkey and Nippers but they do not astound him as Bartleby does. Turkey is the Lawyer’s age mate (over sixty years) and even though he is a prudent copyist, as afternoons approach he wears out quickly and makes silly mistakes in typing. On the other side, Nippers, a twenty-five year old energetic lad, is the precise opposite of Turkey. He has issues in the morning sessions but as afternoons approach, he concentrates more in his work giving better results. However, this story concentrates on Bartleby, a newly employed copyist. His enormous output in the job delights the Lawyer for he works day and night without complaining. However, Bartleby’s vibrancy lasts for a few days after which he starts to refuse doing his job. After the Lawyer consults him to do some work, he says, “I would prefer not to” (Melville 5). The Lawyer does not realize this stance would later turn to a mantra until Bartleby uses it often and sticks to it. Bartleby, courteously but firmly refuses to do his routine job; something that puzzles the Lawyer, who calls it “passive resistance.” The Lawyer seeks to find out why Bartleby does not want to do his job; however, he gets the same reply of ‘…not to’. Bartleby’s behavior puzzles the Lawyer forcing him to ask other copyists what they think about Bartleby. They confirm that his actions are strange and unreasonable. After a final try to get Bartleby do his job, the Lawyer rushes out to attend some business but he vows to investigate the issue. After scrutinizing for a few days, the Lawyer realizes that Bartleby does not leave the office or take lunch or tea; he only takes snacks that Nuts, the errand boy brings him. The lawyer rues that, “nothing so aggravates an earnest person as a passive resistance” (Melville 12). Nevertheless, he starts pitying Bartleby for he concludes that whatever he does, he does it involuntarily. The lawyer
Introduction The report is about construction work on Indian reservations which have been found to be having oils reserves. California Indian council is however against the idea and issues to the government, a statement with conditions that further exploration will only continue if the state will agree to approve and offer bilingual education to people living in this area, who are the Native American Indians. It is against the government to forcefully evict these people since they have ownership rights, while at the same time the government is divided about the issue of offering bilingual education since it fears this could spark pressure from other communities who may demand the same. Given the budget constraints that will come with this, the government must come out strongly to balance between its interests and that of the Native Americans inhabiting this area. Brown should therefore organize talks with the Native Americans to solve the issue amicably. Information Relevant for Talks The following information should be well tackled in the talk, The policies to be adopted for mutual benefit, how the oil project will benefit the Native Americans particularly those who own the lands, steps the government will take to ensure no private land is lost without compensation, how to address the bilingual education demand raised by the California Indian council, what might happen if the anticipated oil turns out not to be as much as expected and the budgetary implications that will follow suit. The government should also ensure it comes up with mechanisms to ensure what is agreed upon becomes biding. Summary of the Facts Presented The total population of Americans Indians combined with Alaska Natives of various races amount to 4.8 million. North America region only has a population of over 31 million. The language commonly spoken by the Americans living in the north have greatly changed and very few people still speak the native language, these changes have made the language to reveal not only that of the indigenous people but also that of European colonization too. The languages that remain widely spoken in North America are thus; English, French, Spa
Due to favorable immigration policies, the US is home to all ethnic groups in the world. For that reason, the US is home to Whites, Asians, Hispanics, and Africans. Nonetheless, these groups have endured racism and ethnic stratification throughout history. In this regard, certain races are perceived to be superior or inferior to others. Consequently, racism has been the greatest obstacle to the assimilation of certain ethnic groups in the US. The Zoot-Suit riots were, hence, a manifestation of a greater problem in the US. According to Castillo, the Zoot-Suit riots exposed the racial hatred towards Latin Americans and other ethnic minorities. Its publicity, thus, exposed the plight of ethnic minorities in California and the entire country. This essay explains the influence of the Los Angeles Zoot-Suit Riots on ethnicity, nationalism, and assimilation in the US. The Zoot-Suit riots took place in June 1943. For two weeks, military personnel based at the Chavez Ravine Naval Reserve Training School in Los Angeles embarked on a string of attacks on young Mexicans wearing the zoot-suit (Watson). This event was the largest civil disturbance involving Mexican-Americans in the US. Moreover, Chicanos were the main victims in this confrontation. Chicano, a term associated with politics and activism, refers to later generations of Mexican immigrants (Castillo). Within the first ten days of the riot, White people joined the military and the police in pursuing the zoot-suiters (Watson). Therefore, by pursuing Mexican zoot-suiters, the police and the military were fueling ethnic hatred towards them (Castillo). Subsequently, the zoot-suiters embarked on a series of retaliatory attacks — for instance, the angry youths ran-down policeman and stoned sailors (Watson). The Zoot-Suit riots generated varied reaction and conclusions on the predicaments of ethnic minorities in California. For instance, the Latin American press used this incident as a confirmation of prejudices leveled against the Latinos in the US. Therefore, the Zoot-Suit riots were seen as a product of hate directed towards Mexican-Americans. Also, many historians believe that the reactions from Mexican-Americans were mainly due to racial stereotypes and other forms of discrimination. Furthermore, this disturbance reminded the Chicanos that they were descendants of Mexican immigrants. Accordingly, their nationalism was dented as they felt like second-class citizens in their country of birth. Further analyses of the Zoot-Suit riots indicate that these happenings were part of a wider scheme to victimize California’s ethnic minorities (Watson). Consequently, organizations representing ethnic minorities united in a bid to expose the events behind this riot (Watson). Racists believe that some ethnic groups are naturally inferior to others. Consequently, racism has been used to justify the different forms of prejudices in the US. Ethnic minorities are more prone to prejudice and discrimination than the majority of ethnic groups in the US. This discrimination takes place in all states within the US. For that reason, California does not represent an exception to the rule when
