A Lesson Plan Nowadays, the integration of social concepts is important in the modern classroom. Paying attention to gender and diversity is critical, as nowadays, these notions are substantial aspects of social values. In this instance, it is reasonable to propose a multicultural program to educate the students about a plethora of ethnicities and to enhance “respect for all human cultures” (Jones, 2015, p. 109). Suitable subjects are social studies, history, and arts. Based on the factors provided above, the primary goal of the lesson/program is 1) to help students learn about new cultures; and 2) develop new concepts and involve students in the interactions. The materials used are interactive board, classroom (space), and art supplies. As for the objectives, they are 1) students will have to keep special diaries to reflect their thoughts and ideas about different cultures; 2) learning about new cultures and taking advantage of the modern technology; and 3) introducing tasks, which will engage all students in the learning process equally. Speaking of various comprehensive integration strategies and activities, these aspects will involve 1) keeping a diary of their thoughts, stereotypes, and feelings about different cultures; 2) designing posters representing the integration of cultures in the modern community (group work); 3) presenting students a new culture every week; 4) engaging students in partner talks and discussion to understand the significance of diversity and equality and develop creativity (Jacobson, 2014); and 4) writing a reflection essay to understand the learning outcomes of the program. Lastly, assessment methods have to be proposed. One of them is depicting students’ changes in the behavior by using observations ( Completely kindergarten , 2016). At the same time, the teacher can consider self and peer assessments as possibilities, and this approach can be implemented by sharing the final essays. Using checklists with all objectives will have a beneficial impact on the understanding of the effectiveness of the instructional style. Implications of Social Class on Schooling To enhance the learning environment in the classroom, one has to consider the implications of social class on schooling. One of the effects is the fact that belonging to a low socio-economic class creates a perception of exclusion (Kane, 2014). This matter occurs since parents do not have enough financial resources to contribute to the child’s social image and learning (Kane, 2014). Consequently, this aspect creates a wrong perception of a student in the classroom and leads to the elevation in stress levels. Thus, another implication is a correlation of the social class with the academic performance (Rothstein, 2016). The studies conducted in the past indicate that “students’ family characteristics” have a substantial influence on academic excellence (Rothstein, 2016, p. 1). Therefore, the presence of this issue is highly related to the different approaches parents attain in raising children (Rothstein, 2016). Having dissimilar values affect
Leadership and Effectiveness COVID-19 has presented a new reality that leaders need to consider if they are to achieve their potential. This pandemic aligns with YES!’s mission since it presents a new reason to mentor, train, and provide additional support to at-risk youth in the selected community. As the leader, I would change different aspects of the programs by equipping the members of staff with additional resources and guidelines. Such gains will guide them to provide online tuition, food materials, and insights for staying fit (Jonker & Meehan, 2014). The followers will provide personalized instructions depending on the beneficiaries’ needs. Additionally, all individuals will have to take social distancing, sanitization, and hand-washing practices seriously to minimize infections. Non-Profit Leadership I would pursue new strategies to continue offering all the programs and services. The academic empowerment process will take place online while individuals will receive timely ideas for pursuing their health goals. They will get food supplies and additional instructions to engage in exercises. The relevant interventions will be offered, such as counseling and referral to community resources (Jonker & Meehan, 2014). I will provide promote appropriate communication strategies and observe outlined guidelines to prevent COVID-19 infections. This analysis means that no programs will be cut. Due to this pandemic, my staffing needs will change significantly. However, no additional workers will be needed or laid off. Instead, I will restructure their roles to resonate with the anticipated goals. In terms of technology, computers and handheld devices will be essential to deliver services virtually (Jonker & Meehan, 2014). The current team will also prioritize the issue of Internet access. Communication is critical to support the delivery of positive results. Social media platforms and mobile phones will support the process. Individuals will share timely messages via their handheld devices and liaise with clients’ guardians or parents. YES! will develop a website to communicate with all key members of the board, funders, and partners. Beneficiaries will learn more about these changes from social media platforms and the NGO’s website (Jonker & Meehan, 2014). Radio and TV adverts will be considered to communicate the changes to all community members. CEO-Board Relationship The CEO and the board members should work together to support the delivery of the intended services. However, the CEO can contact different leaders, such as the chairman and the secretary, to develop the best plan for managing programs and services during the pandemic period. These key representatives will make timely decisions that resonate with the wishes of
Leadership is a concept that guides individuals to guide and mentor others to achieve their potential. People can develop their own styles to dictate the way they solve personal challenges and eventually succeed in life. This strategy is applicable in a wide range of settings to support the delivery of positive results. This paper gives a detailed analysis and description of the major aspects and consideration that will support the development of a superior personal leadership plan. True North My true north is leading others in a professional manner, applying ethical principles, promoting equality, and ensuring that positive results are recorded. This orienting point guides me to remain on track and ensure that all followers focus on the anticipated goals (George, 2015). I will know that I am following it by focusing on my colleagues’ responses and feelings. I will also consider whether the team records the targeted aims or not. It will be appropriate to consider emerging ideas and combine them to connect emotionally with all my followers. Sometimes I will sit back and reflect to ensure that all decision-making, critical thinking, and problem-solving processes support all key partners. I will be ready to apply such insights in my workplace and personal life. These aspects and considerations make it easier for me to know when I am following my true north. My philosophy of leadership is simple and guides me to support the delivery of timely results. As a democratic leader, I will guide and allow my followers to be involved in decision-making processes and identify ideas that can deliver desirable results. I will inspire them to form new teams, remain ethical, share ideas, and consider new ways to improve performance (Tyran, 2017). This philosophy makes it easier for me to achieve most of the intended goals. Intellectual Development Leaders need to expand their intellectual abilities and acquire new strategies to organize their ideas and thoughts. I endeavour to deepen my intellect by reading widely and examining case studies of individuals who succeeded in life. These exercises will equip me with additional competencies for leading others. I will broaden my intellect my applying the acquired concepts in different settings and organizations (George, 2015). I w
Abstract American criminal justice databases have developed enough for the executive authorities to have the opportunity to access virtually all the information necessary for the investigation of criminal cases. The legislative base envisages the use of the most modern technologies and tools, without which it is quite difficult to imagine the criminology of the United States. The article will consider two American criminal justice databases that are used in serious criminal cases: fingerprint analysis and ballistics testing. Both of them have been significantly improved over the past several decades and have almost completely changed the legal landscape in the United States. Innovative methods used in these procedures have made it possible to achieve obvious progress with almost perfect results. The procedures of ballistics testing and fingerprint recognition have reached a new level, corresponding to the modern development of criminal science. Fingerprint Analysis Modern methods of recognizing the personalities of criminals have almost nothing in common with those used in the last century. The introduction of new technologies in forensics has allowed the American justice system to reach a completely different level; therefore, all police investigations are much more effective today than they used to be. The analysis of fingerprints has always been an integral procedure of any criminal case, whether it is car theft, robbery, or murder. Nevertheless, earlier criminologists used ordinary brushes and classic coloring compositions as the main components of their work. Today, the expansion of the base of special preparations and devices has allowed achieving an almost error-free identification of the obtained fingerprints. Synthesis of Nanophosphorus One of the techniques that American criminologists use today successfully is the synthesis of nano phosphors. The basis of this procedure is an eco-friendly green combustion process that accelerates the detection of fingerprints and makes this work as efficiently as possible (Darshan et al., 2016). The use of special chemical components makes it possible to forget about obsolete and long-term methods of recognizing individual structural parts of left traces. This high-tech procedure is widely used in the practice of American criminologists and can be justly considered one of the most modern techniques. Touchless Fingerprint Recognition Another method of fingerprint recognition, which, perhaps, a few decades ago would seem absolutely impossible, is a touchless recognition that allows determining the identification of a criminal with a high degree of safety and accuracy, has hygienic advantages and makes it possible to detect even the smallest traces (Wang, Jiang, Cao, Xing, & Zhang, 2016). High-precision laboratory research is an integral part of this technique. The most modern algorithms and methods used in the process of such work allow specialists to avoid
Culture is a multidimensional notion that is influenced by a variety of internal and external factors, such as traditions, history, political structure, or religion. In most developed countries, national laws and policies are among the key influences. For instance, laws that establish workplace conduct and policies affect the work culture of citizens, whereas animal rights laws enhance the people’s respect for other beings. Due to such a distinctive link between legislation and culture, judicial review tradition can also have a significant impact on the country’s culture (Reichel, 2013). The primary purpose of this essay is to outline several different international judicial review traditions and to outline their effect on the culture of respective countries. United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, judicial review tradition can be traced back to the times of absolute monarchy, when the citizens could appeal to the King to hold ministers to account for their decisions and actions (Coleman, 2014). Today, the United Kingdom follows the traditional model of judicial review, where the Supreme Court has the supervisory power over the government and public institutions (Reichel, 2013). Such a model of judicial review helps to protect the rights of citizens and organizations, while at the same time promoting transparency on all levels of legal decision-making. Therefore, fairness and legal protection are the main values transferred to the culture by such an approach to judicial review. India The scope of judicial review in India is broader compared to the U.K. and many other countries. Sharma (2017) explains that the system of judicial review in India is separated into three distinctive areas: judicial review of legislative action, judicial review of executive or administrative action, and judicial review of the judicial action. Supreme Court plays a major role in the understanding of constitutional provisions and their applicability to legislative, executive, administrative, and judicial actions (Sharma, 2017). The Indian model of judicial review strengthens the authority of the Constitution, thus enhancing the court and government processes. Compared to the U.K. model, the Indian judicial review regulations improve objectivity and transparency, while at the same time putting less emphasis on fairness and protection of human rights. Japan Japan follows a similar traditional model of judicial review, which entitles the Supreme Court with all functions related to judicial review (Tonami, 2015). However, there are significant issues with regards to the process of judicial review in Japan; Tonami (2015) states that since the enactment of the Japanese judicial review system in 1947, the Supreme Court has been using a rather passive approach: “up until now there have only been eight cases where the Supreme Court has struck down statutes as unconstitutional” (p. 2). The primary reason for judicial passivism is the controversial nature of Japanese Constitution, which was a subject of significant debates and
Article Information For the analysis, the article ” Product, process, marketing, and organizational innovation in the flat knitting sector industries ” written by Ganzer, P. P., Chais, C., and Olea, P. M. was selected. It is published in the 14th volume of the journal Revista de Administração e Inovação as the fourth issue on pages 321-332. Preliminary Analysis The purpose of the study was to identify innovations in the flat knitting industry in the period from 2008 to 2011. Among the specific research objectives were the analysis of trends, their development, and introduction. The study is descriptive, as it captures innovations in the flat knitting industry. This study is also causal since it establishes the relationship between the amounts of investment in product and marketing innovations. The theoretical model proposed in the study includes logical ways to deduce trends in the flat knitting industry from the total set of innovations. In addition, it is based on the procedure of operationalization of the value of the amounts spent on innovations and the establishment of a logical connection between them. The study revealed the relationship between the volume of investment in the product and marketing and the correlation between skilled labor and organizational innovations. Methods & Empirics In this study, two scientific methods are used: qualitative and quantitative. According to Malhotra, Nunan, and Birks (2017), the first one was aimed at analyzing the data obtained as a result of the survey. Descriptive quantitative analysis was used to determine the relationship between the variables of the theoretical construction (Dzwigol, 2020). The primary method of collecting statistical data was a sociological survey. An interview was conducted among the heads of enterprises producing flat knitwear, during which 23 people were interviewed. Interviews were conducted with each manager individually; their answers were recorded. According to Ganzer, Chais, and Olea (2017), the main list of questions allowed to identify similarities in the strategies chosen by managers. The interview was aimed at determining the variables that stimulate the introduction of innovations. The measuring device was an indicator of the frequency of words used by different people in interviews. They were grouped according to the criterion of a similar interpretation. The number and content of common topics mentioned by managers were also a measuring tool. The target group was the heads of enterprises in the textile sector, namely factories to produce knitted products; the target group includes only direct managers, not subcontractors. During the sampling, questions were asked about the main problems in the textile industry sector, including issues that have been solved recently; cost reduction and staff motivation were also discussed. The sample may not represent the population well enough since it considers enterprises of only one region. The choice of words and expressions may not accurately convey the utterance’s meaning, which may be distorted during decoding and analys
Introduction The Avengers is an American superhero film that was produced by Marvel studios in the year 2012 (Surrell 30). The movie includes several seasoned actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Chris Evans, and Clark Gregg among others. It revolves around a team of heroes created in order to stop an evil force that tries to vanquish the earth. Certain scenes in the movie show some members of the rescue team sacrificing themselves in order to save everyone else and stop the evil force from subjugating the earth (White 100). The movie gives the viewer a graspable series of action, good absurdity, and regulated intricacy. Studies have established that over the last couple of years, the focus on heroes by different cultures across the United
Introduction In the highly dynamic world that we live in today, where nations constantly compete for power and influence, the concept of power balance is extremely vital to check and balance those holding power. However, in spite of the remarkable global progress that has been made with regards to the balance of power and betterment of international security; Kochler (3) says that “no balance of power has emerged yet since the collapse of the post-World War II system of international relations.” In essence, this means that there is still a lot that needs to be done if the concept of “balance of power” is to be well implemented and its benefits enjoyed. In this paper, the major focus will be on highlighting the usefulness of the power balance in understanding international security. In addition, other important aspects of international power balance like globalization will also be detailed. Importantly, relevant concepts, ideas, facts and authoritative scholarly opinion on power balance sourced from relevant books and articles will be used to further the arguments presented herein. But before delving into such intricacies, what really do mean by balance of power? Essentially, in politics, power is viewed variably by different scholars. However, in summary, power generally refers to the measure of one’s influence or control over resources, capabilities, outcomes, events or even issues. A person, country, region that exhibits influence—based on the above essentialities—is thus said to have power. In measuring global power, issues like economic stability, military strength, technological advancements and geopolitical power are normally assessed (Wohlforth 6). The balance of power, therefore, denotes the existence of some parity or stability among those in power (Waltz 20-30). In other words, balance of power describes a situation whereby there is some equilibrium between the competing forces. According to (Sheehan 10-15), the major aim of international balancing power is to ensure that no nation becomes too strong to the point that it imposes its dominance over the rest. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the U.S wields most powers in the world today and through that; it has been allegedly using its unipolar power position to exert influence on other nations (Wohlforth 5-7). An explicative discussion of how this has affected the world today—will be circumspectly detailed in the later parts of this essay. Principally, when we talk of international security, reference is being made to the well-being of countries across the world. Th
This semester is coming to an end, and I have benefited a lot from MGMT5050 study. I have realized my weaknesses from my tutor’s feedback and made progress in two aspects based on this semester’s tutorials and lectures and what I have learned throughout the semester. First, the Johari Window makes me aware that everybody must know himself/herself very well. Second, cultural modesty causes me to reflect. Finally, by reading the case of Google, I have understood that as an enterprise, it should have a sense of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which will help to improve the reputation of the company (Neubert and Montañez, 2020). This will be of great importance to me in my future career. I realized that I should make more exploration in the analysis. The problem is that I didn’t read the five portions of materials given by the tutor, so that I failed to collect sufficient arguments for my point of view. This is because I do not have the patience to read a flood of literature at a time. There are many details and good examples in the essay that I can choose as arguments. If I had read it carefully, taken notes, and made marks, I would not have achieved such unsatisfactory results. In my opinion, I can learn to split every complex task and fulfill part of it seriously every day in the future study or work because it is better to accomplish a task step by step than to complete it peremptorily in one day. I have understood two important points from the weekly SWD lesson. First, everyone should know himself/herself very well. There are two ways to do so, i.e., “self-reflection” and “evaluation by others”. This is the Johari Window model that Mark mentioned in class. That is, people should expand the open area and reduce the blind, hidden area, and unknown area when encountering a problem. For example, the weekly discussion board is very stressful for me, and I would put off handing in the assignment until the last few minutes before the deadline, but in fact, I had already finished it. On the one hand, I don’t want my assignment posted too early because I always feel that my essay is not good enough. On the other hand, I have problems with grammar and vocabulary and have to spend time correcting them. Second, I am not very proactive in responding to others’ questions. I don’t like talking with anybody unfamiliar. To better apply the Johari Window model to me, I’d improve myself psychologically. I will open my mind actively. In other words, I will become more outgoing for better communication with others. This is good for building a harmonious interpersonal relationship. I will search my heart prudently, further understanding myself so that I won’t be conceited at all. Also, I can improve myself based on my classmates’ evaluations. I will dare to have an objective self-assessment to create a healthier self by examining and liberating myself. In the meantime, I will show “what is hidden in my heart” to others, gaining more confidence in
