Introduction Previously, passionate video gamers were criticized, while their hobby was regarded as a mere waste of time. However, the growing recognition and popularity of cybersports prove that the situation has changed. E-sports or cybersports E-sports or cybersports are the new terms that can sound odd to the men in the street but are well-known in the environment of video gamers. These terms are used to describe the competitions in playing video games. Like in any other kind of sport, the E-sports competitions are held on amateur, semi-professional and professional levels. The tournaments and competitions are broadcasted on television and via the Internet, and the winners are awarded substantial money prizes. The Video Games League fosters further development of cybersports and encourages everyone fond of playing games to take part in the competitions. Such examples as GSL E-Sports League in Korea awarding the winner with $ 500, 000 provides gamers with strong motivation for developing new strategies, improving their skills, and participating in the tournaments. SOGC LAN – Iron Gamer is the gaming event that will take place on April 30 th in Sydney. It is a two-day tournament that will start at 10.00 am on April 30 th and will finish at 10.00 pm on May 1 st. The Iron Gamer Challenge tournament is a significant event in e-sports of New South Wales. The organizers of the tournament invite the best gamers all over the region to form small squads of no more than 3 members to test their strengths against other warriors or just grieve for the success of the favorite team attending the tournament as a spectator. Apart from winning the title of Iron Gamer which is undoubtedly honorable and desirable, the winning team will receive a cash prize of $ 600 and a lot of other goodies. Moreover, this victory will allow the squad to participate in the National Iron Gamer competition which is planned for November. While Australian e-sport is only at its starting point, the Korean gaming league has remarkable achievements. Korean attitude to cybersport is similar to that of Japanese to baseball. They have an e-sports channel on television, and the largest companies, such as Samsung, SK Telecom, and even the air force have their teams for these tournaments. Ken, a Japanese pro-gamer noted: “Video games are a part of our future. If you are embarrassed by being a gamer because your friends or family assure you that video games are a mere waste of time, you should bear in mind that till you have enough moral strength to do what you like, the things which you are passionate about are not a waste of time. Moreover, gamers can make a lot of money by participating in tournaments. Currently, I make up to 300, 000 Japanese yen from e-sports competitions. I recognize that my career as a professional gamer has its expiry date, but now I spend 3-5 hours a day playing games and I am not going to give up it.” You may join the local event the Iron Gamer and see how far it can go. Maybe, it will allow you to win the title, participate in national competitions, and become the beginning of your professional career in e-sports.
Organizational planning acts as a pivotal instrument for driving organizational success. Planning entails the integration of essential tools by the management within any form of organization, with the goal of enhancing effectiveness and efficiency measures. Complex organizations such as schools, large private businesses and public agencies have adopted and integrated technology to aid in the running of the organizational processes in the recent years, a step that has played a very significant role in the running of these businesses. The discussion on this paper focuses on the essential elements of organizational planning. It is also crucial to establish the organizational reliance on technology, in regards to a comparison between a school and a private business or a government agency. A complete school technology plan for technology integration will also be presented. Successful planning in complex organizations Successful planning within any form of an organization depends on the effectiveness in the implementation of the essential planning elements. However, most organizations in operation in the current world are often paralyzed in one way or the other, a factor that makes it difficulty for the effectiveness in cooperation towards the achievements of the intended organizational goals. The environmental scan recently done by researchers and scholars has indicated that 50% of the complex organizations often face rampant challenges in a bid to implement new strategies within their organizations. It is therefore for every institution to be taught of the best elements for effective organizational planning (Hunnicutt, 2007) . Essential elements of an organizational planning process The interplay of essential elements in planning provides a fundamental ground for continuity. First, every organization at its inception must develop a vision/ mission statement of the outcomes they anticipate for in their operational lifetime. This is essential in aiding the integration of the foundational philosophies at any time deemed necessary . Secondly, every organization must have objectives or rather the goals that have driven the essence of its formation. The objectives often spell the intentions of the organization in its immediate and external environment. The goals act as a tool for organizational and employee motivation. There is always a strong linkage between an organization’s objectives to the availability of opportunities. Thirdly, timelines assignment to needed projects is also a long-term component in planning. The element spells the period of anticipation in which an intended project should be accomplished to eradicate organizational growth delays. Every comprehensive plan should indicate the period of initiation of a project and the accomplishment season. A results-oriented plan also incorpora
Abstract Is education necessary? In line with Dewey’s writing regarding education, (39) there is a large notable distinction between inanimate things and living, in that lifeless things react from forces, which have to be grater than the resistance involved. They are not able to react against the forces to change the outcome. Living things have the ability to endure or struggle to make use of the adjacent energies such as light, materials or air to control any unfriendly forces. If the living being is able to subjugate forces, then considering life as a self-renewing process through the reactions against environmental factors can maintain the process or keep renewing it indefinitely. This continuous renewal is growth. Research considers many aspects regarding education as growth such as possibility of existence of conditions that promote further advancement or one that shut off a person who has grown in a particular direction from advancing to another new direction. (Dewey, 2008, 29) Thinking of life in the sense and principal of continuity through renewal, it applies that there is some literal facts over renewal of social groups. A person is born without any knowledge, language, maturity, belief, ideas or social status. There is necessity to indicate interest, information, skills and practices to form a characteristic life. Civilization h
In sociology, a bio-social environment can largely benefit from the applied science of eugenics. In other words, eugenics supports the study of modifying or boosting the genetic make-up of any sample of a population. In most cases, the human population is the major target in the application of eugenics practices. It is also imperative to mention that eugenics is a broad social philosophy that attempts to improve the productivity and genetic wellbeing of certain individuals, while lowering the productivity of some individuals by modifying their genetic make-up. It is definite that eugenics has been a subject of great discourse and controversy since the time it was developed and adopted. During the first few decades of the 20 th century, eugenics had attained high popularity especially in the western world. It had been recognized as a formidable social movement. For instance, institutions, influential individuals as well governments were already propagating and advocating the practice of eugenics before the mid 20 th century. Although the identification and understanding of certain features and compositions of genes have been facilitated in the study of genetics, there are still no definite and approved scientific methods that can be used to evaluate traits that may finally be useful. However, eugenics has been moderately applied in boosting body defense against diseases such as Cholera and Malaria. In terms of genetic diversity, it is worth to mention that policies that promote eugenics are likely to interfere with the natural diversity of genes among various populations. There is a wide pool of scientific evidences which have demonstrated that vulnerability towards certain ailments could be rife especially among populations with modified genes. For instance, individuals whose genes have been incapacitated find it difficult to adapt effectively against prevailing environmental conditions. Needless to say, when undesired genes are eliminated in the process of eugenics, the diversity of genes portfolio is equally reduced leading to unbalanced population in terms of various personalities needed to supplement society. Individuals and corporate bodies who support the practice of eugenics argue that the process of eliminating genes may not necessarily impact a population negatively because it as slow program that can be reversed whenever undesired consequences are noted. They also reiterate that when a particular program on eugenics is adopted, any unwanted consequences can be noted in advance and therefore controlled accordingly. Additionally, they observe that in case of any significant reduction in gene diversity, then it will take remarkably long period of time with negligible effects. Therefore, there is no cause for alarm over the practice of eugenics. The autism rights’ movements have also entangled themselves in the controversies surrounding eugenics. When genes are predisposed among individual wit
Leadership is what some people value most of all. Different character traits allow people being leaders, whereas for those who lack these traits, being a leader can become torture. It is hard to present a universal definition of what leadership is because it has numerous facets and depends on different factors. “Leadership is generally seen as a force for coherence, as contributing to effective organizational action by eliminating contradictions and preventing confusions.” (March and Weil 3) Future leaders are supposed to know how to deal with complexities, how to remove inconsistencies, and how to set precise objectives to cope with. Leadership also involves “finding ways to minimize the problems of diversity through recruitment from a common background, experience, or education, or through the use of persuasion, bargaining, incentives, socialization, and inspiration to mold multiple talents and backgrounds into a common culture.” (March and Weil 3) Leadership is a social process “rooted in the values, skills, knowledge, and ways of thinking of both leaders and followers” (Gallos and Heifetz 1) There exist some special tests and assessments which help to find out whether a person indeed has inborn leadership abilities or whether he or she does not possess traits necessary for becoming a leader. Such assessments as emotional intelligence tests, IPIP, and Myers-Briggs personality assessment define the level of a person’s self-confidence, extraversion, neuroticism, cheerfulness, ability to cooperate with others, orderliness, self-discipline, etc., as well as his/her type of personality which does or does not allow becoming a leader. I scored high at emotional intelligence tests, which makes me a confident, empathetic, convincing, and motivated person; IPIP helped me to find out my level of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience; Myers-Briggs personality assessment revealed that I belong to ENFJ and ENFP types; these assessments helped to reveal strong and weak traits of my character and my advantages and disadvantages as a future leader, team member, and employee. Discussing my advantages as a leader, it would be fair to take into consideration the strong traits of my character. As Peter Drucker stated in his “Managing Oneself”, “Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong.”(Drucker 4); just like everybody else, I cannot know for sure which strong traits of character I possess. To find this out, I went through some assessments. Thus, the emotional intelligence test revealed that I am, first of all, a confident person. I scored 88%, which is the highest score; this means that I am full of confidence and determined to reach the goals I set for myself. Secondly, the tests showed that I am an empathetic person, which adds to my advantages as a leader because being empathetic means reading people and their emotions; this is an important character trait for it allows managing people with taking into account their emotional demands. Finally, my being convincing and motivated (81 and 78% correspondingly) is also
Introduction Immigration as a process refers to the movement of a person from his native place to another place and settling down there for a long period of time. This may have been caused by various reasons. It can be of political, social, occupational, educational, and so on. Generally, the migration process is always connected with war, political emergency, job and so on. In the context of America, emigration can be defined as the movement of people from other regions and countries to the United States. It is seen that such emigration helped for the population growth and it even resulted in the cultural exchange. The economic, social, and political part of the emigration has resulted in controversy on the issues related to the ethnicity, values, economic development, religion, job security, social mobility citizenship, criminal tendencies and finally on the patterns of settlement. The statistics show that the United States contains the majority of migrant population. But the September 11, 2001 incident has significant influence on the public attitudes on migrant population. As a result of this the government has tightened the security measures due to which migrants have to face several problems. Purpose of the Study The purpose of the study is to explore the identity problems of Asian and Latino Youth living in America. Immigrants to America can be viewed in different phases. The colonial period, the mid-nineteenth century, the beginning of the twentieth century and the post-1965 are the most significant periods. Each phase has brought different national groups, races and ethnic groups. It is the post-1965 that brought the majority of Latin American and Asian population. Studies show that the Latin and Asian countries accounts for the higher population of migrants in united dates. About the Latinos in United States, majority are from Mexico (66%), Central and South America. Puerto Rican, and Cuba account for about 15%, 9% and 4%, respectively. So we can say that the Latinos are chiefly the migrants from Mexico. So far it concerns the Asian migrants they are basically from countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Philippines, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. Latin economies do not provide enough surpluses of jobs. United States offers more jobs than the Native Latin nations. This excludes the Latin people form their towns. The fact is that the part of the family already lives in USA or that most of the young males of the local towns normally immigrate to the north and now is a path to follow by kids. They even th
Introduction As a consumer I have interest in food and its nutritional values. From this point of view I am also concerned about the health that mainly depends on my diet. These days I am faced with various types of dietary advice that range from official governmental publications to magazines and TV shows. Some food advertisements in fact require advanced chemical and physiological knowledge to understand therefore one’s personal diet should be of one’s great concern. Main text An accurate evaluation of one’s diet is an essential component that determines a healthy lifestyle. MyPyramid Tracker is an online tool, developed by the US Department of Agriculture and Health that is used to evaluate diet as well as physical activity. This tool had brought me better understanding of my energy balance status and clarified the importance of keeping track of my dietary intakes. It provided information on the quality of my diet, as well as drawn parallels between my daily food intake and recommended nutritional guidance. Proteins make up around 20% of the human body mass, and over 50% of lean cell mass (Goldstein & Goldstein, 2002). In human tissue cells proteins do not get laid away for reserve, therefore their daily intake with food is essential. Ten out of twenty amino acids that make up proteins are synthesized in the human body, and the other ten amino acids are essential and have to enter the organism via the alimentary tract. Comparing to the recommendations of C
Introduction Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers constitute a grave public health problem, diminishing patients’ quality of life, and damaging the country’s economy. The negative consequences of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers are mostly avoidable, but the problem is seemingly not given sufficient attention in medical research. The bibliography intends to locate sources that provide the required theoretical foundation for the proposed research – a multidisciplinary team approach in the prevention and reduction of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. The gathered sources address a range of topics, coinciding with the subject matter of the proposed research. Among the topics are prevention and reduction strategies, interventions, and the effects of multidisciplinarity. Annotated Bibliography Samuriwo R. Pressure ulcer prevention: The role of the multidisciplinary team. British Journal of Nursing. 2012;21: 4-13. Samuriwo is a clinical academic and researcher at Cardiff University with a background in critical care, which makes the text scientifically trustworthy. Samuriwo’s article explores nurses’ attitudes to pressure ulcer prevention and the role of other health professionals in resolving the problem. It is intended for researchers, educators, and medical professionals who deal with or are interested in the health issue. The text synthesizes and analyses nurses’ understanding of the function that dieticians, tissue viability specialists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, and community nurses fulfill in pressure ulcer prevention. The nurses participating in the research reported high levels of collaboration with dieticians and physiotherapists. Pharmacists and community nurses were also likely to cooperate and became a crucial source of advice. On the other hand, the nurses received little support and guidance from doctors and tissue viability specialists. Additionally, findings suggest that the nurses undervalued the significance of prevention, contradicting other studies’ results. The text concludes by expressing the need for nurses to be more proactive and collaborative. Nevertheless, only 16 nurses participated, signifying that the research results cannot be generalized. Although a higher number could change the findings, Samuriwo still prompts the proposed research’s hypothesis: multidisciplinarity is needed to deliver better care and prevent hospital‑acquired pressure ulcers. The researcher also states the main functions of each medical professional, which could be useful for constructing the proposed research. Samuriwo emphasizes that collaboration between health care professionals and the multidisciplinary approach result in improved skin integrity and decrease the pressure ulcer incidence. Such factors as correct nutrition, repositioning, provision of guidance, and patient education, are dependent on different medical workers but are essential in pressure ulcer prevention. The assumption aligns with the results of other studies reviewed in the bibliography, for instance, of Miller et al. Moreover, the findings imply what medical workers should be more involved in pressure
Career In Social Work Social work career is not an attractive career to many people because you can never make a lot of money right away. I have had this interest in social work since I was young, and I used to express great enthusiasm for church and school service events. As I grew older, I volunteered in most community events, such as helping with free cancer screening and serving at the hospitals. I have had the feeling of helping to create a positive change in the community for the disabled and marginalized groups. My greatest motivation to make a career in social work was my strong desire to help others. I care about people’s lives, and I do not particularly appreciate seeing people struggle with simple aspects of life that I can help them solve. Social work has been an everyday part of my life, and I want it to continue to be my profession. My interest in social work grew as I began to see how my efforts could improve people’s lives. I realized this personally when close friends would come to me for advice, giving them a shoulder to lean on. My other reason for developing an interest in social work is that it allows me to advocate. I enjoy listening to people’s problems, and no matter how horrific or unique the story is, I offer my counseling without being judgmental. I want to become a social worker to give directions to people who cannot have directions from other sources. I have the desire to fight for human rights and social change, and I want to fight for justice in all corners to make society a better place. Finally, I desire to listen to people’s needs, ranging from children to adults and to people struggling with addictions, to help them change their perception of life to improve their quality of life. Professional Behavior and Accountability The social work profession facilitates social changes and the empowerment of people in a society. It is, therefore, a profession that employs the principles of social justice and respect for human rights and diversity. To me, professional behavior and accountability in social work mean being moral and responsible to others. Social work has professional and regulatory guidelines for accountability, as a student, I must uphold and maintain professional responsibility which protects the title of this career. Social work professional requires people who are reliable honest and trustworthy. Therefore, as a student, I must adhere to these regulations and be answerable to professional social work bodies. Being professional and accountable also means abiding by the rules and the rules enforced by appropriate government agencies. Social work requires core skills and values that are necessary and that society needs for its general well-being. As a student, I am expected to show a high level of integrity and humility when working
