For every movie, emotional appeal is always significant in winning the viewers’ attention. If the filmmaker can be manipulating the audience’s emotions, they can realize the target responses. Swaying the feelings of the audience increases the persuasiveness of the content. Such functionality can prevent the audience from establishing the valid logic of winning the filmmaker’s arguments. For instance, the narrator in the film uses rhetoric and moving pictures to capture the viewers’ minds and incline them to his line of thought. The narrator uses persuasive language to establish a basis for appeals to emotion-based arguments instead of fact. For example, the film’s images do not show the timeline for their appearance but paint the overall picture of how Emirates has scaled up from a humble background. Such a level of engagement provides no room for the audience to question the validity of the stories. However, the filmmaker must integrate the required literary devices to attain emotional appeal successfully. Technological advancement has made it easy to realize such an effect. Therefore, the filmmaker has achieved persuasion through the emotional appeal of his stories instead of using logic. The filmmaker employed a strong emotional appeal to demonstrate how Unity has enabled the Emirates to make significant strides in history. Even though the validity of the statements and pictures used in the film cannot be established, the viewer is convinced. Such an effect was achieved through visual aids that viewers use to connect to the past without factual evidence of endorsed concepts. The film narrator uses storytelling of past chronological events to persuade the audience and peal to their emotions. In such regard, the validity of the premises of arguments cannot be verified, such as conventions the Emirati leaders used in unifying their people under one flag. Moreover, the narrator seems passionate about his delivery in the movie that makes it convincing. He uses compassion to showcase the Emirati leadership’s driving force, which is acknowledged by the audience. For example, the choice of words compels the viewer to the film’s content, like Emirates unification, corridors of Abu Dhabi translating to those of today’s high science. Therefore, it becomes difficult to refute the film’s emotional appeal because it is a rhetorical device. With historical images that can be dated to ancient times, the viewers are also persuaded with no logic incorporated in the film. Such consideration achieves a strong correlation between past and present Emirates that the viewer can attribute to Unity. For that reason, the movie’s emotional appeal is characterized by logical fallacy, where the narrator wins the arguments based on the audience’s emotional responses. Even though emotional responses effectively learn about Unity, they are considered dishonest since they appea
Genetic variation in humans plays a key role in the heterogeneity of resultant body responses to exercises. Some genomes support the exercise-mediated improvement of high blood pressure, alleviation of diabetes type 2, muscle development and the metabolism of excess body fat. For example, some classifier genes contain DNA variants that contribute to the variation of VO2max responses in people undertaking physical exercises (Timmons, et al. 2010). However, some people are of the view that the effect of genetic variation on exercise-mediated body responses is dismal. This argument is usually based on the idea that several other factors such as diet, lifestyle, disease and the effect of certain medicines override any possible effects of genetic variation on exercise. This has led to the general dismissal of most genetic tests provided by many exercise programs. As a result, genetic testing and genetic counseling can only be administered by physicians. These only benefit victims of severe cases or prominent genetic disorders such as diabetes and cancer (Herring et al., 2012). Genetic testing, however, may reveal very important information about one’s ability to respond to exercises. A genetic test should be provided over-the-counter so that people can get an overview of their genetic potential for certain exercise responses. People who have certain genes exhibit slower responses to exercises. The ability of some people to withstand strenuous activities is limited by the structure of vital tissues, cellular organelles and functionality of various body systems. For instance, defective red blood cells, as seen in bearers of the sickle cell gene, fail to take up adequate oxygen necessary for one to sustain long exercise sessions. Various heritable congenital heart disorders also impair the ability of one’s cardiovascular system to supply adequate oxygen and energy to various body parts during exercise. Variations in such genes as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-coactivator-1 (PGC-1)and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are thought to play a role in the regulation of muscle adaptation to exercise (Timmons et al., 2010). Even though they do not play a significant role in exercise endurance, they coordinate how starter’s muscles adapt to trained movements during specific exercise programs. VO 2 max is the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during a maximal or exhaustive exercise session. Any increase in exercise intensity beyond this point relies on one’s cardio-respira
Name of Journal Journal of Nursing Education . Title of article Role strain in male diploma nursing students: A descriptive quantitative study. Author(s) Charles R. Baker. Quantitative Design Descriptive. Problem statement People often need to comply with the perceived norms about their gender to completely accept their identity. Because nursing is often perceived as a female profession, male nurses might suffer from a role strain. Purpose To find out whether male nursing students experience role strain, and what factors it is connected to, in order to be able to address the problem. Research question or hypothesis The author provides four research questions, the first of which being 1) “Do male nursing students experience role strain?”; and the other three aimed at determining whether there is an association 2) “between age, amount of education, male sex-role characterization, and role strain”, 3) “between year of program and role strain”, and 4) “between sex-role category and role strain” among nursing students who are males (Baker, 2001, p. 378). Review of the literature There is little literature related to the problem; the article utilizes 12 sources, most of which are theoretical literature. The research which most closely looked into role strain among men in the profession found out that experienced male RNs did not suffer from role strain (Egeland & Brown, 1988). Baker (2001), however, stresses that the recorded absence of role strain is likely to be the result of coping mechanisms developed by these men; had they not developed such mechanisms, they would probably have quitted the profession. Therefore, the study by Egeland and Brown (1988) does not indicate the absence of role strain in male nursing students or recently graduated male nurses. Theory or theoretical framework used in the study The author utilizes a sociological theoretical framework, according to which role strain consists of four elements; however, only one of them, the role conflict, is used; the role conflict is experienced by a person that is subjected to more than one inconsistent role expectations which cannot be fulfilled at the same time. Population Students of 15 Ontario community college nursing schools; one of these schools refused to take part, so only 14 schools participated. Sample population Male nursing students. 184 of 476 questionnaires were returned, which means the response rate was 39%. Participants Age range was 19-49, mean age=28.1, SD=6.8 years. 46% of respondents were first-year, 34% – second-year, and 19% – third-year students. According to BSRI, 17% of respondents were undifferentiated, 18% feminine, 24% androgynous, 41% masculine. Have the subjects’ rights been ensured? Confidentiality? The participation was voluntary and anonymous; the data was also treated confidentially. Measurement tools BSRI was employed to determine the sex-role category of respondents as they perceived it (Bem, 1981). The Total Role Strain Scale (TRSS) was utilized to deter
Introduction This paper presents the case of a four-year-old girl, Molly, suffering from chronic constipation, and who has been admitted to clean her bowels through the use of laxatives. The case study will broadly look at the child’s condition with a specific focus on the condition, assessment of the child, nursing and management of the condition as well as the evaluation of the care and interventions given. In this case, the case study presents the process of assessment, care, and treatment of the child right from the admission to the time of discharge. Additionally, the case study also puts into consideration the role of the family and caregiver in the management and treatment of child’s condition. Initial complaint Constipation is a condition whereby, bowel movements become infrequent or difficult (Chatoor, 2009). The condition affects between 5 to 30 percent of children, a situation that makes it a common problem among children (Van den Berg et al., 2006). Some of the main causes of constipation include; insufficient intake of diet fiber, dehydration, inactiveness, drugs such as narcotic pain drugs and antidepressants, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), milk, excessive use of laxatives, colon or rectum problems, and conditions/ diseases, like for example, neurological disorders and systemic conditions (Chatoor, 2009). Assessment The assessment to be carried out in the case of Molly will entail a number of tests to assess the presence, severity, cause of, and relevant treatment for the condition. The assessment procedure will, first of all, entail the basic process of checking the weight, Blood Pressure, Temperature, Pulse rate and Respiration (TPR) and SpO2. The other procedure will entail acquiring a constipation history which will entail asking questions such as, how often does constipation take place, does constipation occur after eating any particular food, does the child always soil herself, how do you treat or manage the condition and how long does it last? Another important question will be how often the child passes stool as well as to acquire a description of the stool in terms of for example size or hardness. It will also be important to find out the various symptoms associated with the process of defecation in the child, for example, if there is any pain, strain or bleeding when passing stool (Rubin, 2004). At this point, it will be important to check for any anal fissures, and to inquire if they have been present in the past. A diet history will also be important to assess the child’s feeding habits and nutrient intake. Information on other issues such as the frequency of drinking water and activeness of the child will also be important. Other assessments will entail:   * Conducting an abdominal x-ray/ radiography to find out if there are any abdominal problems that could be causing the constipation.   * Ruling out the presence of any neurological problem by checking the nerve functions.   * Finding out if the child has experienced any problems as a result of the imperforate anus correction as well as the colostomy reversal procedures.   * Examining the rectum to assess impaction.   * Assessing the frequen
There was a time during the early months of the 21st century when we all lived in the calming peacefulness of knowing that we lived in a country that trusted in the safety of living in the most technologically advanced, military-protected country in the world. We all felt that because our country was separated from the “Axis of Evil” and other terrorist countries by oceans of water, we would be safe and far removed from the life-altering impacts of terrorist attacks. I would not be surprised if, before the events of September 11, 2000, we all thought that we lived in the safest country in the world. A mental belief that was brutally shattered by the trio of airplane terrorist attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center and The Pentagon. Before that happened, our tendency was to trust everybody around us, even if we did not really know who or where they came from. That has all changed now. It is the fear of the unknown and the suspicion of those whom we do not know that have caused the country’s leaders to seek a version of racial profiling in order to keep the country safe from another terrorist attack. Their plan of action? Getting a national I.D. card into place. A card that carries all the important information on a person who is supposed to be a free citizen of this only truly democratic country in the world. When Alan M. Dershowitz wrote his opinion paper entitled “ Why Fear National ID Cards” for the New York Times. He did so in support of a system that he hoped would fast-track the lives of the American public. A life that has been mired in red tape and slow action due to the terrorist threats that hit America on that fateful day of 9/11. His argument was that it was okay to lose a little privacy in order to ensure the safety of many. To quote: I prefer a system that takes a little bit of freedom from all to one that takes a great deal of freedom and dignity from the few — especially since those few are usually from a racially or ethnically disfavored group. A national ID card would be much more effective in preventing terrorism than profiling millions of men simply because of their appearance.(Dershowitz, Why Fear National ID Cards, par. 9) Somehow I cannot bring myself to agree with what he stated in his opinion paper because even though the constitution does not guarantee our right to privacy, we do have laws that protect our private information from anonymous access without our consent. Which is exactly one of the things that can be done to all of us in the event that a national ID card finds itself implemented. We should also consider that there is absolutely no way that we, the public, can be assured that each perso
Teaching of English to international students is likely to require both face-to-face teaching in class and e-collaboration. This class has been trying to enable students learn the definition and the different types of essays. The concept has to be evaluated to see the level of understanding and application the students have attained. In this class, this shall be done through the use of e-collaborative assignments and projects. The choice of e-collaboration is because the students are international and they require interacting with each other through giving opinions and helping each other especially the students who are not native English speakers. E-collaboration requires focusing on the learner, that is, it is learner-centered. The class is involved in the teaching on essay writing and description. In this situation, we analyzed various types of essays and classified them appropriately. I further guided the students on the writing of various types of essays. As a form of evaluation, the assignment will involve both individual and group work based on the work covered. The assignment has to be covered with the response to the four tasks posted on my class section on the school’s website. Assignment Task 1 (To be answered in group work) In groups of 3, consider the types of essays we have looked mainly the informative, persuasive and argumentative. Choose to concent
Introduction Both classical and many other schools of strategic thinking have been used to describe the concept of business management strategy. Strategic thinking has become a major concern of many business organizations because of the need to achieve mutual benefits between the organization and the employees through proper management strategies. Proper strategies are necessary for the business to improve its productivity. Business productivity can never be improved without the member taking part in the strategy formulation (Lampel & Mintzberg, 1999, p. 21). The reason for the emergence of these schools of strategic thinking is the question of why some strategies fail and others succeed. The main issues addressed in these schools are the factors that may cause these strategies to fail or succeed. Strategic thinking is a mean of understanding the key drivers of business as well as improving the conventional thinking through dialoguing with members in the organization (Mintzberg, 1996, p. 96). The main objective of this essay is to present a Critical Analysis of the fundamental concepts of the ‘Classical’ schools and other schools of strategic thinking. Critical Analysis of the Classical School of Strategic Thinking The classical schools of management are based on the assumption that the employees only pursue the economical and the physical needs which are their source of satisfaction. The school assumes away the social and job satisfaction needs of the workers. Though the school argues that these needs are either absent or are not important in the course of the service offered by the employees, the claim is without clear attestation. The main focus of the school is high labor specialization and bureaucratic process of decision making where decisions are made from a central point. Profit maximization is also a major concern of the school. This indicates that the social and job satisfaction needs of the employees are locked out in the proposed management strategy (Whittington, 1993, p. 9). The classical school of strategic thinking was developed during the industrial revolution when factories in the industries faced management problems. There were vast labor dissatisfactions and the management was unsure of how to deal with the situation. The other issue was how to train the employees to make them loyal members of the organizations. The key objective of this school of thought was to determine the best way that could be used to undertake and manage tasks (CliffsNotes, 2010, p. 1). In this sense, the classical school was meant to solve the management problems related to labor dissatisfaction for the betterment of the industries but with less concern about the social life and job satisfaction of the employees. The classical school of strategic thinking was broadly categorized into classical administrative school and the classical scientific school of thought. The Classical Scientific School The major concern of this school was productivity and efficienc
Executive Summary The objective of the report was to provide the human resource manager with the benefits associated with joining a local or international human resource professional association. Different merits have been explored based on six professional associations namely the SHRM, CIPD, ASHRM, AHRI, DHRF, and the AITD. According to the report findings, an association like SHRM gives room for interaction and growth among a group of HR professionals. It also provides an individual with the necessary resources and research materials essential in career development. CIPD and SHRM are globally recognized associations and as such, they increase employees’ marketability. Other advantages include growth and development of HR professionals, networking and sharing experiences, training and developing professionals, provision of HR professional solutions, and provision of assistance in management. The most suitable organizations I would join as the head of the customer service department are SHRM, the AHRI, and CIPD. These organizations assist in developing HR profession and developing career of an individual. Given that career development is a progressive task, these associations assist individual gain skills, knowledge and solve issues related to HR profession. Introduction We are living in a world where employees are considered as the largest asset in an organization. For this reason, organizations invest heavily in their employees in order to ensure that the organizational goals are achieved. Proper career management and planning results in employees’ career development. The career of an individual is shaped through career development which in return results in career commitment and job satisfaction. It also prepares an individual to undergo different phases of career development. According to Adekola (2011), career development is a continuous process in which an individual passes through different phases each characterized by different tasks, unique issues, and themes. Therefore, career development is an essential task that prepares an individual to rise through the corporate ladder. Career development is primarily the outcome of interactional processes between institutional career management and career planning (Adekola, 2011). Institutions like Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI), Arabian Society for Human Resource Management (ASHRM), enables an individual to shape his/her HR professional to meet international standards. The objective of the report is to provide the human resource manager with the merits of joining a local or international human resource professional association. The benefits and the deficiencies of the professional associations named above will also be explored and analysed critically. The report will use cost benefit analysis to determine which association
The situation that Snow White faces in this case can be looked at from three different perspectives. The first perspective is the legal aspect of the case presented. The company is financially strained and may not be in a position to pay Happy for the extra hours spent at work. This is the reality and Ms. White has the legal obligation to explain the situation to Happy and a legal right to demand from him that he stops working the extra hours. She may need to put it down in a written agreement as a way of avoiding any legal actions against the company in future. The case can also be looked at from an ethical perspective. Happy did not start putting in extra hours when he knew he was eligible for payment for extra hours. He has been doing that for a long time and he made it his culture to give his company the best of his efforts. He is only happy that based on the current labor laws he will be eligible for payment for the extra effort he puts in at work. Ethically, Ms. White must find a way of reaching a common ground with this hard-working employee so that his extra effort can be rewarded in some way to maintain his high level of motivation. The third angle is the economic perspective. Happy is not taking extra hours at work doing irrelevant things. Yesterday, he was able to complete a project that has been pending for some time because he spent some extra hours at work, and Ms. White was pleased. Every hour he spends at work, therefore, brings money to this company. With such effort, it is likely that the company will be making more profit with him working for extra hours than when he does not. The best thing to do, under such circumstances, is to compensate him for the extra hours because he is a very important asset for the company now and in the future. Happy is right that he is in fact eligible for overtime payment. He deserves it, given his past record of spending more time at work even at a time when the company was not paying him for that extra effort.
