The philosophy of modern society draws a thick line between religion and politics. However, a closer look at the two will reveal that these phenomena, in fact, have a lot in common. Moreover, there is an obvious connection between the political moods within a particular society and the religious principles, which the specified society is guided by. Depending on the specifics of the religion that a certain society professes, as well as the extent, to which the religion in question is followed by the members of the society, the former does have a tangible effect on the politics of the state. To be more specific, religion allows for making people turn a blind eye on the economic, political and social issues, which the state may be experiencing, and promoting the idea of obedience and compliance with the state laws, as well as the accepted morality principles. Religious principles, especially when conveyed by the person that is capable of using a transformative leadership strategy, become an efficient weapon in streaming the energy of the population the right direction. As the video clip shows, the deplorable state of favelas, as well as the local prisons, creates the environment that is most favorable for criminals to emerge. The local people, however, can be described as law-abiding and obedient. The phenomenon in question occurs due to the efficacy of the Pentecostal leaders, who manage to convince people to mend their ways and follow the key principles of morality and ethics even in the conditions that can be defined as far from fostering piety and obedience. The video shows in a very graphic manner that the religious leader conveys the basic behavioral patterns of a healthy and morally stable person, including dropping cocaine and marijuana (Johnson “If I Give My Soul” 00:01:56), as well as more specific religious ideas, such as “opening their hearts” (Johnson “If I Give My Soul” 00:01:52). Religion, therefore, serves as the means for people to keep their hope alive and be able to struggle towards a better life. On the one hand, one could argue that the Pentecostal leaders with their idea of high moral standards, only make the situation worse by convincing the local people to be acceptable towards the conditions that they live in and the treatment that they receive. On the other hand, the methods of the Pentecostal religious leaders can be considered a kind of a “painkiller” that allows people to maintain their faith in humanity and
The sense of urgency within the public school system to identify students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) for targeted intervention has been sparked by the increased prevalence estimates of these disorders. Although there are a number of uncertainties regarding the recent increase in ASD prevalence rates, the educational personnel have a higher chance of meeting autism cases. Therefore, there is an increased need for comprehensive evaluation techniques in schools. The basic focus of this article is to outline the need for a diagnostic procedure for identifying ASD in public schools. The authors give an overview of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as a guideline for providing appropriate special education services for children. Therefore, the public school administrators and educators are endowed with the responsibility of screening children with ASD. In spite of this responsibility, the school personnel have to receive adequate training and supervision concerning ASD due to its heterogeneous nature. There are a number of legal and clinical issues in diagnosing children afflicted with ASD. Since 1975, the passing and modification of several federal laws has occurred to ensure that the students with disabilities get access to appropriate educational services. These federal laws include Public Law (P.L) 94-142, and FAPE. In 1990, the further modification of P.L 94-142 took place and it was given a new title as IDEA. The term “autism” and its meaning were accorded official recognition. In 1997, a significant number of other amendments were again made to the IDEA. Qualified medical professionals, as stated by the Local Educational Agency (LEA), do appropriate evaluations to determine ASD. The process of retrieving all related information should take place without any discrimination. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is an important document that outlines the requirements of any child with disability and how the educational personnel are to cater for those requirements. The IDEA ‘97 gives a “provision for the dissemination of information to parents concerning procedural safeguards” (Noland and Gabriels, 2004, p. 267). The document also gives ways of resolving disputes. In the past, a number of litigation cases have occurred that focused on appropriate identification and development of educational services for students with ASDs. However, in most cases school districts have lost because of either procedural mistakes or mistakes concerning the substance, or the content of the IEP. IDEA ’97, being a federal law, ought to be interpreted and endorsed by every state. However, states vary in the way they choose to interpret the document, organize disability groups and provide the victims with appropriate services. Therefore, services are provided differently in every state as well as between sc
Introduction It is worth mentioning that the medical environment provides healthcare professionals and patients with numerous safety issues. It is so because treating one condition can subject individuals to experiencing harmful effects of other phenomena. That is why sufficient attention should be drawn to identifying potential safety issues and offering specific interventions to improve the situation. Thus, hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) are widespread among numerous patients because a set of prerequisites contributes to this state of affairs. Consequently, this case report will consider safety concepts to comment on pressure injuries within the healthcare setting and recommend a practical intervention to minimize the issue’s harmful impact. Brief Literature Review To begin with, one should explain why and whether it is rational to consider HAPUs a safety issue. According to Ismail (2017), patient safety relies on six components, and they are “state policy, diagnosis, medications, surgical operations, infections, and injuries” (p. 592). It means that all the infections, surgical operations complications, and various injuries refer to safety. That is why there is no doubt that pressure injuries should be considered a safety concept. Furthermore, numerous scholarly and peer-reviewed articles focus on HAPUs, and it is reasonable to locate them to understand the problem. Sharp et al. (2019) mention that pressure injuries are a widespread safety issue among aged individuals. This condition develops when patients spend much time lying or sitting
The complexity of the relations between the human beings within the society is a rather interesting matter for study. It involves such aspects as the relations between the age groups, racial and ethnic groups, and of course genders. Discrimination according to the sexual belonging is one of the most common types of discrimination in the modern society. In the past, the issue of sexual discrimination, or sexism, was even more crucial, which led to the emergence of the feminist movement. Acquiring more and more supporters around the world, feminist ideas were also considered in literature. The works by such brilliant Canadian authors as Dorothy Livesay and Ethel Wilson are bright examples of literature with the feminist underlying message. Viewed in the light of one of the recent news regarding feminism and women liberation, the works by these authors will help us interpret this piece of news and see all its hidden meanings. To begin with, it is necessary to specify the new article selected for this research paper. It is the recent article retrieved from the British Columbia newspaper National Post Canada from March 13, 2009. The title of the article reflects clearly its major focus – “The washing machine is the message” is the article about the simple but effective means of women liberation through centuries of human history. The author of the article, Colby Cosh, in a somewhat ironic form, reports about the recent news from the Vatican. The author’s focus is the “op-ed considering the question of what was the greatest practical force for women’s liberation in the 20th century” found in this week’s issue of the Vatican newspaper “The Osservatore Romano” (Cosh, 2009). What attracts the author’s attention is the fact that the newspaper in question is a purely religious edition defending the Catholic views of life and values. Nevertheless, as Colby Cosh argues, the author of the Vatican news article ponders freely on such controversial topics as the right for abortion, women liberation, etc. However, being interested in the topic o0f the article, Cosh carries out his own research so that to comment specifically the points made by the Vatican female author. The latter, arguing about the means of women liberation, assumes that apart from pills, equality or rights, etc. the invention of the washing machine was the most substantial step to give women freedom (Cosh, 2009). Cosh presents a brief account of the development of the modern technology in the context of new freedoms it gave to human beings; he also draws a picture of washing as viewed i
Introduction Media is a communication network through which news, theatre, education and messages are dispersed. It comprises of distribution mediums such as, magazines, television, posters, cell phone, facsimile, and the internet (Fox & Ramos 2011, p.125). Media events are developed from the media and are considered to be motions that are created for publicity purposes. Media events include all activities that are propagated through the mass media and hold fundamentally value with the media as priorities. Media events mainly concentrate on news broadcasts, corporate anniversaries and scheduled occasions like speeches. Media is only successful in the presence of a society, which is a group of people sharing relations through geographical territory, political leadership and dominant cultural beliefs (Fox & Ramos 2011, p.83). Leadership is the ability to guide, motivate and inspire individuals or groups with the aim of achieving specific objectives. Societies are categorized by arrangements of interactions between persons who share a unique culture. Culture is the collective knowledge of religion, notions of time, heroes, hierarchy of being, spatial relationships and wealth attained by a society from age groups through individual collective effort. The invention of media has brought significant changes in the society particularly in the context of relations and culture. Through media inventions and development in communication, a significant improvement has emerged on both domestic and international relationships. Individuals in a society are now able to interact and relate with persons of different societies through telephone, mail and the internet unlike in the pre-industrial era where communication channels were limited and therefore the culture and beliefs of a society were only know to themselves (Fox & Ramos 2011, p.303). The media has therefore facilitated cultural change which is evidenced in how people relate and interact, given that people are now able to develop themselves using their learnt abilities which enables societal. Discussion Media in the society is used mainly for interactions that is why several social networks like Facebook, Google plus, Skype and Twitter have been developed. All social networks are used as communication platforms between people from different corners of the world. The social networks enable people who are total strangers to communicate and learn from each other (Fox & Ramos 2011, p.23). Other than communication the media is used as an avenue for education and learning. The introduction of online tutorials and Google books which are at the disposal to all those who may need to read them. Such mediums have become fundamental academic tools that have expanded the global knowledge pool and enabled learning institutions to export their teaching models to foreign students. Entertainment has also been expanded through the media, with implements such as Netflix, YouTube and Channel1 becoming major entertainment hubs cross the globe for visual and audio content. Despite the fact that the media has greatly improved the modern lifestyle, it also has its demerits especially to the youths who spend so much of
A typical understanding of the term decolonization could mean undoing colonization. It includes all the activities that a country may have done to free itself from powers of their colonial masters (Wong 253). Politically, decolonization could also mean gaining independence or an autonomous rule of a country without external influence and this is when a country is regarded as a sovereign state. In addition, the term may refer to the effort of dismantling neo-imperial empires that were started in Africa and Asia before and after the Second World War. Critically, it has been observed in most cases decolonization could be gained through peaceful negotiation; in practical decolonization was gained through violent revolts and resistance the colonizers. Such revolts or decolonization movements were mostly started by strong people in the colonies that had seen the need for their countries to be free from influence of colonizers. This paper looks into decolonization efforts that were muscled by Kenyan movements against colonization in Africa, Egypt revolts against Britain rule also in Africa and Russian revolts in the former USSR that caused their independence and freedom from influence by European colonies. In addition, the paper looks into the effects that the movements had in national self-determination efforts; the movements have improved or hampered attaining of self determination by many countries. To begin with, we shall start by looking at decolonization movements in Kenya; it was colonized by the Great Britain during the infamous scrabble for Africa (Majdalany 75). The revolution was started at around 1952 to 1960 before the country gained independence. Despite the fact that the rebellion did not get the intended support from the locals, there was a massive support of the natives living in the central region of the country. The main reason for the massive involvement of central Kenya’s natives being much involved in the movement is since the region was regarded the most productive by then and therefore it was heavily habited by the Europeans (Majdalany 76). According to the British colonials’ description, the decolonization movement was biased and regarded the movement primitive and emotional since it was devoid of reasoning. However, Mau Mau leaders, as the leaders revolt was popularly known, had a different presentation to make about the group; they were of the opinion that the movement was the most legitimate in the voicing of the needs and the grievances of the whole country (Branch 342). However, there is distorted information that is being obtained from focusing too much on the gains that had been made by the Mau Mau Movement to insinuate that the group was squarely dominated by the
Introduction The present paper is devoted to a rhetorical analysis of the essay “On ‘Real Education’” by Robert T Perry. The purpose of the work is to refute the thesis of Charles Murray that is expressed in his book “Real Education” and consists of the idea that higher education is romanticized, which is why too many people seek it even though not all of them are capable of benefiting from it. Charles Murray suggests that the majority of students are not needed by the country. Perry’s purpose consists in refuting Murray’s arguments. Perry’s essay is meant for higher education stakeholders (especially those from South Dakota); it uses logos to refute Murray’s statement and supports it with pathos and ethos to persuade the audience that the author had chosen. Main Body The rhetorical situation is a broad term that unites all the elements of the situation in which the communication occurs and involves the rhetorical triangle and the context (Enos 75-76, 282-283; Glenn 1-5). For Perry’s essay, the following aspects of the rhetorical situation can be of interest for the analysis. The author is the “executive director of the South Dakota Board of Regents” (Perry para. 17). His work does not exist on its own, and the essay continuously refers to Murray’s arguments. The audience is likely to be any person who is interested in learning about higher education, but Perry focuses on South Dakota and the US population. Also, the audience is likely to include those who had read Murray’s book and those who visit Inside Higher Ed, where Perry’s work is published. The situation defines Perry’s rhetorical choices. Most of the means of persuasion in Perry’s work are logic (for example, the knowledge economy), facts (for example, the situation in the job market
It seems reasonable to state that by using cyber-attack simulator systems and research, a number of crucial benefits may be attained. First, the development of efficient research practices, as well as training scenarios, may address problems within the scope of human cyber-security, advance the related skills, and contribute to the significant decision-making process. Second, the exploration of human factors in the framework of cyber-security can assist in resolving the issues of understanding a defender’s cognitive state, possibilities for automation, and an attacker’s subjective traits. Third, dynamic malingering that would involve attackers, defenders, and user models could enrich data sets regarding cyber epidemiology and cyber protection (Leblanc et al., 2011). The described benefits might be considered a great advantage in dealing with challenges caused by cyber-attacks. Such a state of affairs allows analyzing these benefits in terms of how they could assist in defining the needs for security within an organization. Here, it may be claimed that the mentioned cognitive models can give precise projections of behaviors if they are designed and applied appropriately. A model’s peculiarities, processes, and biases will vary depending on the aspects of age, education levels, and network intents. Internal surveys can be conducted in order to figure out essential details about users and defenders, as well as geographical data accompanied by information regarding potential cyber-attacks origins. This would allow an organization to determine the areas of security enhancement effectively. The utilization of advanced computational processes in the framework of cyber-security can serve as an important foundation for precise simulations. The latter, in turn, contributes to a company’s enrichment in terms of experience and theoretical background, which leads to a proper realization of how to address a specific issue. The conjunction of theory and practice in this vein is critical and should be achieved at all levels. Trend Micro reported that in 2020, the company’s products identified 119,000 cyber threats every minute. The attacks primarily targeted home-based employees and network infrastructure. This and other facts are published by Trend Micro in A constant state of flux: Trend Micro 2020 annual cybersecurity report (Trend Micro, 2021). Among other things, the report reveals that home networking has become one of the most popular targets for cybercriminals in 2020. With their help, attackers tried to gain access to corporate network resources or use home IoT devices for their botnets. In early June 2021, a cyberattack on the world’s largest meat producer JBS SA caused the shutdown of all US beef factories, which suppl
Executive Summary The fashion industry has been the latest to adopt the use of the internet as a marketing platform for its products. This is associated to the nature of the products in the industry. People buying apparel products would probably want to feel the texture of the material, try it on to confirm the size, check the color of the material before making a decision (White, 2000, p. 95). These buying characteristics can not be carried out online. It has taken time to change this mentality and create the possibility of online shopping of apparel products among customers. This paper examines the characteristics of the fashion industry and how these characteristics influence management of the supply chain. The paper also discuses the application of information technology in the collection of data on sales and how the data can be used to predict demand shifts. A further focus is on how information technology can be used to augment the effectiveness of an order form. The Characteristics of the Fashion Industry and How They Influence Supply Chain Management The fashion industry thrives on the efforts of retailers who mostly take up the role of supply, sales and merchandising of products to the consumers. The retail process of the fashion products heavily relies on the spending power of the consumers. When the consumer purchasing power is high, the sales volumes go up. The sales consequently reduce when the consumer purchasing power reduces. Fashion markets are unpredictable i.e. the market experiences frequent shifts depending on the fashion tastes of the consumers (White, 2000, p. 87). In order for the retailers to keep up with the market dynamics, they need to be keen and master the fashion trends. They also have to develop a good management system for their inventories in tandem with the needs of their. The fashion industry is more about designs and quality. Fashion designers spend time and resources to develop and come up with fascinating fashion designs. The law has not been structured well to protect designers from piracy. After a long time laboring and struggling to come up with a striking fashion design, photographs and drawings of the same are quickly taken and whisked to china where they are reproduced at a much cheaper cost than what the original producer would want to sell it at (Fernie & Sparks, 2004, p. 70). The pirated fashions flood the market so fast at a much cheaper price making the designers to go back to the drawing board for new fashion designs. Fashion sales have remained high despite the effects of piracy on the fashion designs. The reason for this is attributed to the fast change in taste of the fashion, every year; customers are dissatisfied with the existing f
