Figure 1. Japanese tsunami (Japanese tsunami 2011). Tsunami is one of the most dangerous large-scale hazards. It is chosen as a primary topic for the essay, as it is the most hazardous and unpredictable natural phenomenon. Despite the rapid development of technology, a tsunami is variable. Moreover, a number of victims remain high, as the speed and development of the wave are high, and only some people can react quickly and evacuate from a dangerous zone. Consequently, a considerable magnitude and power of the wave destroys everything, which occurs on its way. Figure 1 presents a devastating impact of the tsunami on the Japanese city, Minamasanriku ( Japanese tsunami 2011). This disaster expectedly happened in 2011 (Reuters in Seattle 2015). The photograph displays the power and ability of the nature to destroy the whole city in a short period. However, it has to be mentioned that this tsunami not only lead to the socio-demographic and economic problems, but also to the ecological issues. As some of the debris, such as electronics, car wrecks, and sports equipment still floats in the Pacific Ocean, the Ocean’s ecology is in danger (Reuters in Seattle 2015). Moreover, this fact causes problems to the United States of America, as some of the wreckages appear close to its coastline (Reuters in Seattle 2015). Figure 2. Volcanic eruption (Volcanic eruption n.d.). As for the geoscientific origin of a tsunami, the process is complicated, as the intensity and magnitude depend on various parameters. Firstly, the source of the volcanic eruption has to be understood, as this natural phenomenon is one of the primary causes of a tsunami. Figure 2 displays the influence of volcanic eruption on tsunami formation ( Volcanic eruption n.d.). A release of magma occurs due to the extreme density of magma and other gasses under the Earth’s crust (Masters 2012). It could be seen high volumes of debris, which are crashing into the sea with the rapidly excavating speed ( Volcanic eruption n.d.). This act causes a production of elevating capacities of energy aimed at the water surface. It is a primary cause of tsunami formation, as the pressure involves a movement of high volumes of water towards the shore. Even though a volcanic eruption is a leading cause of tsunami, the gigantic waves might occur due to the earthquakes and landslides. The earthquake occurs due to the rapid release of accrued pressure in the crust of the Earth. A primary cause of it is ‘the relatively slow motion of lithosphere plates’ (Levin & Nosov 2009, p. 44). The epicenter of the earthquake takes place where a dislocation happens due to the remaining fault on the surface of one or more platitudes (Levin & Nosov 2009). As plates move, the surface of the Ocean experiences fluctuations and pressure, which leads to the tsunami development. There are several types of tsunami regarding their geographical occurrence such as regional, local, and distant. Earthquakes generate all of these types (Mercado-Irizarry & Liu 2006). However, oth
The main task of the Australian company FoodBank is defined by the problem of hunger, which is still relevant for the Australian society. FoodBank provides food supplies for the needy sectors of society, and their main task remains to solve the problem of hunger of vulnerable members of society. Lack of food represents a basic human need, and the task that FoodBank solves is one of the key conditions for the harmonious development of society. Based on this, it is possible to describe FoodBank’s activities as exclusively humanistic, which does not negate the need to maintain its own brand and conduct business. Given the charitable nature of the company, their target market is represented by those customers who are able to provide them with support. The market is geared towards anyone who can provide food or financial support as a donation. Charity is at the heart of the company’s financial support, and in the case of FoodBank, food is valued as much as money. The company also relies on online fundraising campaigns and works with charities across the country. The element of competition in FoodBank’s operations is brought about by a large number of other organizations engaged in similar philanthropic practices in Australia. Other organizations, such as the Australian Red Cross, have broader spheres of influence that go beyond subsistence (Chapman et al., 2018). However, it cannot be said that there should be direct competition in their activities since humanitarian activity logically cancels such a possibility. A beneficial advantage and point of difference for this company in comparison with other charitable organizations is the very urgency of the tasks they solve. Directly dealing with the problem of the hungry segments of the population of Australia, the company emphasizes that their activities are vital for the prosperous life of society. Additionally, it should be noted that FoodBank cooperates with companies for charity, which as a result, underestimates the possibility of competition between companies (FoodMart Australia, 2021). At the same time, the very tasks performed by companies, on the contrary, require close cooperation and mutual influence of finance and other means. The Keller-Model Brand Evaluation A brand mantra or statement that sits at the core of a company and expresses its essence should be a statement emphasizing the company’s extended networking. It is by joining with charitable organizations, volunteers, food factories that the company is able to provide food for such a large number of hungry people. Therefore, collaboration in all possible areas for the sake of helping everyone in need can in fact be the company’s credo. Using the model of brand equity developed by Keller, it is proposed to consider FoodBank as a brand that has all the inherent features and qualities (Raut et al., 2019). The brand’s identity is defined by its clearly defined objectives – providing and distributing food to tho
Introduction Smoking among preteens has become a major issue of discussion over the past years. According to a report released by the American Cancer Society, most preteens begin smoking around the time they are in their fifth grade. Despite the good news that the number of preteen smokers has been significantly reducing since the 1990s, there is still much to be done as the effects of smoking are increasingly building an unhealthy population that in the future may not reach the average age expectation (Mettlin & Smart, 2007). This possible reduction in life expectancy poses a threat to future generations since the consequences of cigarette smoking are dire and have long-lasting effects. It is, therefore, imperative to come up with solutions that will help in curbing this menace, usher in a generation that is healthy, and free from the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to assess the health risks of smoking cigarettes among preteens, mostly the fifth graders, recommend a viable plan for intervention, and seek ways of implementing the proposed intervention. Health Risks of Cigarette Smoking among Preteens The risk associated with tobacco use among the preteens not only affects their health but also has an impact on their levels of social interaction. Most children begin smoking under the influence of their friends whom they see doing the same. Wrong company and lack of parental guidance have largely contributed to this phenomenon. In other instances, the children observe their parents smoking and pick up the habit from them (Bush et al., 2009). Therefore, the blame should not only focus on social influence but also on the failures of parents to offer positive guidance to their children. Children who smoke regularly are highly vulnerable to certain chronic diseases, and health problems; such health problems and diseases may include coughing, wheezing, breath shortness, regular headaches, hearing loss, improper lung function, and depreciated physical fitness. Moreover, the overall health of the preteen would look miserable due to poor management of body and health. Smokers are also vulnerable to macular degeneration, which is often associated with vision impairment. This aspect means they can easily turn blind at a tender age, and this will affect their overall livelihood. The tar in cigarettes has also been found to bring blockage into the blood vessels. When the blood vessels are blocked, t
Nature-based or natural climate solutions implement factors such as lowered GHG emissions and any additional carbon reductions and their relationships with the natural ecosystem (Qin et al., 2021). This mostly includes landmasses such as forests, agriculture, grasslands, wetlands, and even some ocean-based environments. It is a management and mitigation solution that aims to redirect GHG emissions through Natural Climate Pathways in order to cap current emissions or even begin to observe a reduction. However, the solution also poses difficulties in selecting which landmasses would be appropriate for these pathways. Factors such as wildlife, water availability, competing with the use of already purchased land, and other economic costs may stump the flow such pathways require to be sufficient. Climate change solutions, like climate change itself, have a noticeable impact on a societal level. The social system and its response to climate change are directly related to the well-being, economic status, and quality of life of the population (Ding et al., 2021). The natural climate pathways are likely to cause socioeconomic alterations in localized, and maybe nationwide, communities. These changes are both industry-driven but in a way that is considerate of the well-being of the local environment and its population. It is a potential for increased employment as well as the reduction of environmental hazards. Due to the multitude of additional aspects that influence the success of the solution, an experimentation phase is a likely candidate to help with moving the solution forward. The current uncertainty concerning progress towards emission reduction is likely due to a lack of step-by-step blueprints, as many solutions are driven by ambitious goals (Hilden, Jordan, and Huitema, 2017). Short-term experimentation is necessary to offset such solutions in the long term. For this, many factors must be considered. They can include discussion on initial locations for experimentation, the kind of landmass that will be used, the potential pitfalls or improvements of local infrastructure, economy, and other social factors. The scale of the experiments should be noted, and a hypothesis of how such a solution would work on a world scale should be researched.
Eating disorderliness has in the past been such a crisis in the public health sector. Vulnerability to the media (Internet, television, movies, newspapers, and magazines) is related to obesity and unfit body images which usually lead one to disordered eating habits. The media is one facility that is so essential in our day to day lives since we get updated on so many issues. Without it, people would be so much left behind on the current affairs in happenings around them. However, it so happens that the same media at times tends to give so much contradicting information that to some extent is even very risky. Unless one has the capability or the knowledge to sieve what is necessary and what is not as provided by the media, people will follow what the media provides them with the illusion that it is the gospel truth. Many people who are the victims of media mixed messages are often left frustrated when they have tried the advice provided by the media, and it has failed to work as it had been portrayed by the media which could be through the television or the newspapers. Many people don’t understand that whatever the media is presenting is all commercial – its business that they are building at their (audience) expense for those who get duped. This research paper is going to bring out clearly how the media corrupts people’s mind, and they blindly follow what is said. There are very few people who will understand that whatever is being presented to them is not always true. We are living in a society that is displaying so much of assorted messages. The most affected target seems to women (Kilbourne, 1999). Most of the advertisements will bring to the audience images of very skinny models; several other publications will display invoking junk delicacies. With such kind of advertisements from the media and most likely from the same media house, it just confuses people such that they are left confused on which one to follow (Kilbourne, 1999). Flipping through the television, you will find pictures of unflawed, skinny (sometimes macerated) actresses on your favorite broadcast (Fallon, 1994). One is left to wonder what with such a trend the media wants to communicate towards the audience. A good example is an advertisement for an actress/ model by the name Cameron Richardson. Protectors of the commercials continue insisting that it is not skinny while as in a real sense she well fits in the extremist-thin idealistic body type and one just wonders whether with this kind of a body she eats those thick burger (Fallon, 1994). The American Obesity Association indicates that over 30 percent of children and 65 percent of an adult in the population suffer from overweight. It shows further that the criterion for obesity is 15 percent for children and 30 percent for adults (Kilbourne,1999). This trend has been attributed to the fact that children most of the time spend their time watching television and playing games but rarely play outdoors while adults also endlessly snack on low nutritional foods and rarely workout (Fallon, 1994). This research by the American Obesity Association shows some of the reasons that lead to body image disorders among peo
The Kimpton Hotels under the initiative GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) sends a message of accommodation, comfort, and sensitivity towards persons from diverse groups (Andrew Freeman & Company, n.d.). On the other hand, the Christian hoteliers seem to send a message of rigidity and dogmatism that is bound to interfere with the comfort and general feelings of the targeted groups (Hirsch, 2011). In my opinion, the viewpoint of Kimpton hotel is more sensible because it portrays sensitivity towards the clientele. Sensitivity to the specific needs of GLBT sends a general message that the hotel has the capacity to anticipate, respect, and fulfill the needs of clientele through a personalized approach. On the other hand, Christian hoteliers may appear to be prejudicial and limiting in their capacity to meet the needs of their clients. Discrimination of any form in the contemporary world is viewed upon as uncultured, insensitive, and uncivilized. Such an image is even worse for an institution that is operating in the hospitality industry, where the capacity to anticipate and attend to the specific needs of clientele is the generalized hallmark of the industry. Sexual harassment, in general, is a difficult situation to deal with due to the social and cultural disparities that make defining the offense difficult. However, the situation is worse in the hospitality industry, where according to Gilbert, Guer
The purpose of the paper is to analyze a peer-reviewed journal article related to physical development in early childhood. The title of the article entails the level of physical activity that promotes the development among preschool children. Timmons, Naylor, and Pfeiffer came up with the article. The article appeared in the academic journal. The purpose of the article was to provide the relevant scientific evidence that could support the link between physical activity and psychosocial and biological development during early childhood (ages 2-5 years) (Timmons, Naylor & Pfeiffer, 2007). The authors clearly introduced the issue of physical activity during childhood and the obesity epidemic in different nations. The introduction gives a synopsis of what is expected and detailed in the entire paper. The authors did this clearly in order to attract the attention of the audience. The paper demonstrates clear evidence of the increased concern on overweight and obesity issues among preschool children. The article also gives clarity to other factors that influence preschool children’s physical activity, such as family and socioeconomic status (Timmons et al., 2007). The use of a non-conservative approach in the methodology seemed to be quite appropriate. This is because the topic under discussion had sparse literature, and the use of systematic review could have limited the number of studies used in the article. In addition, the use of different reviews in each health section helped the authors in addressing every issue with clarity (Timmons et al., 2007). The authors also employ different methods in both the physical health section and the psychosocial health section. The authors used a number of physical health outcomes in determining the way physical activity influences them. The methodology does not indicate on the tools used for collecting data (Timmons et al., 2007). Community involvement is an important factor that could determine the effect of physical activity on childhood physical development. While there have been inconsistent results about the way physical activity interventions could differ between boys and girls, the authors of the article hold that it was difficult to determine the amount of physical activity required to maintain a healthy body mass in preschool children (Timmons et al., 2007). The article also argues that the amount of physical activity required in maintaining childhood development functions would differ. For instance, the amount of physical activity required to maintain a healthy bone mass would be lower than that necessary for healthy body mass (Timmons et al., 2007). The conclusion of the article is in line with the discussion done in the paper. The authors keenly stuck to their discussions while presenting the conclusion. The authors gave clear recommendations on how physical activity affects physical development among preschool children. The article fails to come to a clear conclusion that tackles the purpose of the paper (Timmons et al., 2007). Various studies are necessary to fill several gaps related to physical activity and preschool childhood development. The article
Executive Summary Most people wonder how the Olympic Games opening event become so lively as well as how fireworks display works. Event management entails planning, coordinating and organising activities and processes, including participants in a given event. Just like in any other activity in a business enterprise, event management faces challenges, which may be either internal or external, for example, when dealing with suppliers. In order to make this event successful, all stakeholders should play their part and ensure they are committed to team spirit with the aim of achieving a common objective; communication channels should also be clearly defined in order to avoid misunderstanding during the event. Nevertheless, management professionals will have to “work tirelessly in order to create an effective experience, which can be given to the sponsors, stakeholders, stars, guests and spectators” (Masterman, 2014). In order to ensure that proper work is carried out, this project intends to ensure that every team member works towards completing their work one month prior to the event. This is a nice strategy that will prevent confusion and misunderstandings within the event. Deadlines for action are by the 10 th of June 2014. One advantage that is likely to be derived from the event is the opportunity provided to participants and organisers to be creative in order to ensure everyone feels satisfied and motivated by his or her experience when attending the event. Event managers are required to think and also demonstrate initiative in ensuring the event is a success. Moreover, it is crucial to ensure that the organisation of the event is done in such a way that it attracts the interest of every potential guest to the event, whose experience would last in memory for a long time. This would not only enhance the reputation of the organisers and sponsors but also promote a good relationship between sponsors and organisers. Our company will ensure strong leadership to all the team players and event management team. In order for the event management team to do its best, it requires strong leadership. As the leader of the event, the company should understand what is important and gain the “ability to spot good compromises and know what is essential to the success of the event marks out an excellent event team leader” (Raj & Musgrave, 2009). Event Description There has been a very high demand that has led to the launching of International Ice Hockey, which will be held in July 2014, an event that is intended to be better and bigger than those held before. T
Introduction Assessments used to determine career values and help individuals choose career paths depending on their priorities and visions can be discussed as effective tools that are actively utilized in human resource management and counseling (Dobson, Gardner, Metz, & Gore, 2014). After completing the Work Importance Locator/Profiler, it is possible to state that this tool is appropriate to help people recognize what values determine their vision of an ideal job. The purpose of this paper is to summarize personal experiences regarding the use of the Work Importance Locator/Profiler and experiences associated with the application of the tool to assess the values of another person. Analysis The Work Importance Locator is usually proposed as a pen-and-pencil version, and according to the guidelines, an individual is expected to work with special cards and focus on scores in order to determine what particular values and job characteristics are prioritized (Carlstrom & Hughey, 2014). The online version of this assessment tool is known as the Work Importance Profiler in which all manipulations and calculations are made automatically (Career Zone: California, n.d.). It is possible to state that the online version of the tool is more time-efficient when sorting cards or statements with values and certain characteristics. It takes only about fifteen minutes to think over the proposed cards and decide on their priority. The results of this career exploration tool indicate that the key two values which influence the person’s choice of a job include independence and working conditions. Thus, jobs should be selected to provide a person with opportunities to work on tasks independently, refer to personal decision-making, and demonstrate creativity. Furthermore, the selection of jobs will depend on the following factors: the comparability of payments, job security, and overall working conditions. For another person whose values have been assessed with the help of this tool, the following results are collected: a perfect job should provide opportunities to focus on such values as achievement and recognition. Thus, it is important for the assessed person to use individual abilities, receive recognition, become a leader, and take a prestigious position. While working with other people, the use of the online version can be discussed as most appropriate because it is easier to explain how to manipulate statements or cards, and the required scoring is made automatically. The provided results can be viewed as useful to help people focus on values that can potentially influence their job satisfaction. Furthermore, in addition to descriptions of the critical values, the tool also proposes a list of professions or jobs to choose from in order to address the identified interests and priorities (Carlstrom & Hughey, 2014). Moreover, while sorting the proposed cards and statements, it is also possible to think about the current employment and understand what needs are addressed or what gaps can prevent an individual from realizing his or her potential. Conclusion While concluding about the effectiveness of using the Work Im
