Low satisfaction of one of the partners is one of the most common causes of marital conflict. It may be caused by various factors, but one of the most critical sources of satisfaction, or lack thereof, is sexual desire. A mismatch between the partners’ sex drives is likely to create a divide in the family, leading to a variety of consequences, such as outright conflict or the initiation of a side affair. This paper aims to study the correlation between different libido and conflict in relationships and marriages. Sex Drive in a Relationship A person’s sex drive does not stay stable throughout the entire relationship. According to Impett, Muise, and Peragine (2014), passion and desire tend to peak at the beginning of the relationship and then decline. The common reasons for the decrease are the stability of intimacy, which makes sex less exciting, overfamiliarity with a partner, and the desexualization of roles. The researchers also report that higher sexual desire was associated with increased satisfaction with the relationship, even if the frequency of intercourse was lower than desired. When families are taken into consideration, one must pay attention to another critical factor, namely pregnancy. Pregnant women, as well as those in the postpartum period, often report decreased sexual desire as well as some other concerns and tend not to seek adequate help, states Pomeroy (2014). This inclination naturally leads to a decrease in the sexual satisfaction of both the women in question and their partners, who are usually unaware of the full scope of the issues. As married couples may sometimes be in extremely long-term relationships, an investigation into the mechanics of marital satisfaction in long marriages is warranted. According to Lee and Tetley (2017), sexual activity can continue well into a couple’s 70s, and they can enjoy intimacy and report satisfaction even when intercourse is not performed. Although some respondents were dissatisfied due to their mismatched libido, they had accepted it as a part of the relationship that could not be changed and did not create conflict over it. Lastly, sexual dysfunctions and disorders usually have a significant adverse effect on a relationship. Sharma and Kumar (2016) describe a variety of issues, their causes, symptoms, and management. As they adversely influence the percep
Andrey Sinyavsky is considered to be one of the few decedents in the Soviet Union who opposed an official communist ideology and criticized the Soviets in his writings. In the novel The trial begins , it’s clear that the Soviet totalitarian system is built on the hypocritical ideology of double standards. It united all absurdist tendencies of totalitarian power including anti-Semitism and total control even over the private life of citizens. The trail begins in the novel in which vices of Soviet society are exposed on an example of one well-to-do family. The Father of student Serezha named Vladimir was a state prosecutor; faithful to communist ideology with blind belief in communist ideals. He was confident that his job as a prosecutor was just and useful for the country, as he protected it from counterrevolution and hidden enemies. He sent thousands of innocent people to jail, just for suspicion in opposition to communist ideology, or other minor guilt. At the same time, it was clear that communist ideology was inhuman in its core as it was totalitarian and had much in common with the absolutism of Russian tsars, which was changed by Soviet power. The Soviet Union preserved all traits of empire, including the imperial attitude of Russia towards its provinces and other ethnicities, which did not change since the times of Tsar, with the only exception that the leading role of the Russian monarchy was changed by proletariat dictatorship, led by Moscow. Serezha had a brilliant mind and unlike others was able to differentiate virtue from evil, as well as absurd from true ideals. He asked dad several provoking questions, which confused the teacher of history at school and confused Vladimir as well. These questions referred to a growing wave of anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union, to double standards in Russian history which were practiced in Soviet times, etc. Serezha understood that something was wrong in the system, that neither Dad nor his surrounding followed true ideals of communism which guaranteed freedom, equity, and justice, and that communism wasn’t working at all in the USSR. It was a society where justice and freedom were guaranteed for chosen only, and those few managed li
The ability of a child to realize his/her full potential is influenced by genetic makeup (inborn traits), early socialization, socioeconomic factors, and early childhood experiences. During infancy and early child development, a child has four essential needs to an upright psychological development; the needs are psychical, psychological, opportunity to learn, and self-esteem (Robertson 23-45). This paper analyzes the essential needs for child development. Physical needs To grow upright, a child needs human basic needs like food, shelter, clothing and housing; this is likely to make the child feel comfortable with life and his mind relaxes to grow his/her potential. The physical needs need to be provided in an environment that is hospitable and nurturing, in order for them to facilitate an upright development and growth. The people around the child have should be guiding and showing the child all spheres of life; for example a child at tender age has the ability to listen and reason, he can be explained why he has to change clothing after sometime. This strengthens the child psychological development. Psychological needs The family or the home that a child first grown in has the role of providing emotional and psycho-psychological wellbeing of the child; affection, consistency, quality interactions, security, trust, love , and care, the attributes assist in the growth of the child’s psychological mind setting. Human personality , intelligence and ability to utilize ones full potential is influenced by genetic factors (inborn traits) and the factors of socialization that the child has been exposed to; the quality of the environment of growth is paramount in growing children with high mental strength and stable emotional standing. A child’s emotions are believed to be shaped right from conception; the child has some hereditary traits from the parents and goes ahead after birth; the family should offer an environment that the child should offer an environment of healthy emotional development of the child (Robertson 23-67). Opportunity to learn Children should be given the chance to learn new things, learning is not limited to what the child is taught but the parent or the caregiver but there are numerous ways of creating a learning environment to the child. The care giver should be leaving something unsolved and give the child the chance to use its mental power to seek a solution; this can be done by the use toy’s, playing stations, playing a hide and seek game with the child. If the child is of age, playing with other children of the same age or otherwise is crucial, it assists the child develop the mental power and intelligence necessary for full realization of its potential (Fabes 6-23). Respect and self-esteem Children are sensitive to the environment they are brought up in; they need to feel appreciated, loved, cared for, and respected. The family setting should offer a comfortable and relaxing environment to the child; this will grow the self-esteem of the child. At birth, a child has some inborn strengths and weaknesses; it is upon the parent to grow the strengths and offer a favorab
Introduction Science field trips are important in promoting science and scientific literacy. Learners gain scientific literacy and can apply science taught in the classroom to daily life. However, many students do not achieve scientific literacy to enable them to compete effectively in the scientific world. To achieve this competency field trips are necessary because they enable the learner to transfer knowledge gained in class to the real world. Fuller states that fieldwork “may incorporate field teaching, field trips, and field research or field camps” (2006, p. 215). This paper will endeavor to look at actual science field trips and alternative science field trips. In addition, the paper will look at the advantages and critiques of each type of field trip. Actual field trips Actual field trips are very important in learning. They entail the learners and their instructors or teachers. They visit the environments or sites that provide students with an opportunity to learn as directed by the curriculum. For, example in Portugal an actual field study was conducted in the gold mines of Castromil (Lima, Vasconcelos, Felix, Barros & Mendonca, P. 1) Advantages of actual field trips They add a variety to the instruction methods used by teachers (Lederman & Abell, p.141). This motivates the students and prepares them for lifelong learning. Actual field trips are important be
Introduction Firms in various economic sectors are increasingly considering expanding their operations beyond their local market. This has been amplified by a number of factors. For example, increase in the intensity of competition in the local market has led to a decline in their profit level. In addition, these firms are considering venturing into the international market so as to attain their profit maximization objective and diversify risk. For a firm to operate internationally, it must have the potential to compete with the major competitors operating in the international market. This is possible if the firm formulates and implements effective global strategies. Global strategies refer to the competitive advantages necessitating a firm to compete genuinely. Riordan Manufacturing Industry is a company located in Hangzou, China. The firm produces a variety of plastics products which are marketed in a number of Asian countries. The firm has been able to supply its products to international markets through adaption of a global strategy. In pursuit of its global strategy, Riordan has identified Australia as one of its potential investment destination. Considering the increased incorporation of the concept o internationalization by firms, it is vital for them to adopt global strategies relevant to help them expand their business beyond the domestic boundaries. According to Inkpen, it should be the managers’ responsibility to identify how a firm should position itself strategically and market its products so as to sustain its venture in the international market Inkpen (2006, p.58). Strategic management process Every firm has a vision which it yearns to achieve in the course of its operation. For the firm to achieve the vision, the management must decisively and correctly plan the way forward. This is facilitated by adapting an effective strategic management process. According to Tyndall (2000, p. 1-5), strategic management process has a number of phases as outlined below.  1. Establishing a mission statement which describes the goals and the objectives of a firm. Scanning the environment to determ
Gay parenting involves a situation whereby gay people including lesbians are allowed to act as parents to one or more children through foster care, adoption, surrogacy, and co-parenting (Bozett ix). Therefore, gay parents are allowed by law to establish a normal family in some parts of the world. According to different census studies, about 33% of Lesbian couples and 22% of gay couples take care of at least one child in their households. In addition, the same studies show that gay or Lesbian parenting has several advantages as opposed to foster care and some aspects of heterosexual parenting (Aiken 182). Here, the supporters of gay or lesbian parenting argue that a considerable number of gay parents provide their adopted children with more secure emotional surroundings compared to heterosexual parents. Moreover, gay parents give their adopted children a chance to realize the importance of a full-time family compared to single parenthood, which is characterized by many shortcomings such as poor academic achievements and questionable behavioral characteristics in children. On the other hand, evidence tends to support the perception that lesbian parents who are given a chance to bear their own children through artificial insemination are better parents in terms of providing emotionally stable homes and raising well-adjusted children. Lastly, gay or lesbian parenting serves to minimize the shortage of adoptive parents experienced in foster homes across the United States (Aiken 180-183). Furthermore, studies show that gay or Lesbian parenting does not significantly differ from heterosexual parenting in terms of raising psychologically sound, well-educated, socially healthy, and well-adjusted children. On the other hand, most studies involving gay parenting and gay adoption seems to support the idea that adopted children with gay parents have better chances of succeeding in different aspects of life and academics. As a result, this essay looks at different aspects of gay or lesbian parenting, which seem to support adopted children in their mission to succeed. F
Introduction A refugee is defined as a person who due to a justifiable reason of being persecuted for reasons of race , religion, nationality, membership of a certain social or a political group is out of the country of origin and is not convinced of protection in that country owing to the same fear.(Refugees status today ,2008) Historically, refugees have been a by-product of war: people have fled in fear of violence, or because they have lost all their possessions in the fighting. Increasingly, however, forcing people to leave their homes has become a tacti c in war. Where claims to political power have been framed in terms of ethnic, racial or religious identity, a group mobilizes itself on the base of that identity, and then tries to assert its right to power by excluding “others” from the territory. Extreme cases of this have been witnessed in Rwanda, with the Hutus and Tutsis, in Yugoslavia, with Croats, Serbs and Bosnians. In other cases individuals may be targeted in the instance of Iraq, some Iraqis who have worked alongside the US-backed Iraqi administration have fled the country after being warned by anti-government militiamen. The UNHCR After the World War II had ended, the League of Nations incorporated the right to asylum in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. In 1950, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was created to protect and assist refugees. In 1951, the United Nations agreed on Convention addressing the Status of Refugees, and by February 2002, it had been approved by 140 countries The agency has a mandate to direct and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee their problem. Its primary aim is to safeguard the civil liberties and we
In modern-day ever changing reality, it is important for us to always be critical of research that is presented to us. This is explained by the abundance of external factors affecting the results of research studies presented to the audience. One of the main peculiarities of the external factors is in their ambiguous nature because they are difficult to predict and control. It also happens that a measure of bias both intentional and unintentional one can be shown by the researchers who make their investigations. Some of the resent changes affecting research studies and researchers in Canada seem to be an important step ahead to cope with the undesirable phenomena in the area of investigation. Overall, the situation in Canadian research area can be evaluated as significantly improving, but this does not mean that critical approach is no more an option for approaching the results of research studies which is explained by the effects of the unpredictable external factors. Among the ambiguous and difficult to predict external factors which affect the results of research studies are surveillance data, loss control considerations, stakeholder input, political shifts, new or modified legislation regulations and policies, commodity prices and global ec
Introduction Different cultures have different ways of looking at things. Indeed, cultures have affected the way businesses are run since time immemorial. Bajada and Trayler (2014) explain that business has evolved over time and have led to the development of several business approaches. Despite the progression, other companies have remained loyal to their origins and only deal with aboriginal businesses. The essay answers three questions based on the assignment requirements. The first issue highlights the differences between original business approaches and general ones. The second question highlights some of the intercultural variances that were recorded during a previous visit to a Maori site. The third and last question highlights the evidence of conflict that was also noticed during the tour. How Does an Indigenous Approach to Business Differ from Traditional (General) Approaches? Discuss those Differences using Examples There are many differences between indigenous approach and traditional approaches to business. One difference is that indigenous methods tend to stick to the native cultures and value system of the community they are involved in or target. An example can be used to elaborate further. Wolfgramm and Waetford (2007) argue that according to Marsden Maori, the indigenous approach to business is very spiritual. Therefore, many of the strategies that are made within the said context are spiritual in nature. However, the opposite applies to the traditional, or more general, business approach. Paiano, Caione, Guido, Martella and Pandurino (2015) observe that general business strategies are flexible and do not necessarily include any spiritual aspect in their undertakings. Another significant difference between the indigenous and the traditional approaches is that the traditional are more people oriented than the native. Pompper (2016) explains that indigenous companies value the systems more than the people. The main argument behind the said premise is that indigenous companies survive on the assumption that people are replaceable, but systems are not. It can be argued that in the early centuries all businesses were indigenous in nature. While analysing the concepts of barter trade, which was the first form of operations, one realises that people sold things they acquired naturally. However, with time, and the introduction of the concept of capitalism, such systems changed and led to the creation and development of the general business approaches. With the change came the value of people, as opposed to systems. Thus, as stated, traditional marketing approaches value people more than the said systems. Two examples can be given to clarify on the said difference. Coca-Cola uses the traditional business approach and is known to invest in the staff fully. The c
Introduction Considering the United States’ position of influence in the world as well as an alarmingly growing population of hundreds of millions, the nation’s protection is rightfully a top priority for the government. In the year 2021, the dangers the country has once faced are unrecognizable. With the rise of technology and activation of fascist and terrorist groups both domestically and internationally, the authorities have to develop the appropriate frameworks to navigate the increasingly complex environment full of novel threats. Despite terrorism seemingly being the danger, which continues to define 21st century for the U.S., the government takes an all-hazards approach to mitigating, preparing for, recovering from, and responding to the entirety of emergencies (Comiskey, 2018). In order to avoid becoming shortsighted and focusing too much on a single issue, the federal authorities develop strategies for different kinds of hazards, including environmental, technological, and human-causes ones. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of homeland security and its primary phases, while integrating a Biblical worldview into the discussion. Mitigation Since the beginning of 20th century, the majority of the government’s resource and focus allocation has primarily centered on preparedness. After all, preparing for an upcoming enemy attack was often the only choice and a relatively efficient strategy to ensure a quick response to a military emergency. The global environment has changed since then, which led to politicize intrigue that often denied blunt military action and opted for long-term schemes for fighting other nations. Moreover, after the failure to respond to natural disasters, including multiple tornados and hurricanes, in the 1980s, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recognized the importance of an all-hazards approach (Boustan et al., 2020; Raker, 2020). Ensuring security from various natural, economic, and technological threats implies much more than just preparedness. The four phases of emergency management are mitigation, preparedness, recovery, and response. Mitigation refers to the process of preventing emergencies and ensuring the risks of them occurring are minimal. Thus, any activities aimed at prevention and risk minimization, which happen before and after an actual disaster are considered to be a part of mitigation. Purchasing an insurance plan is an example of the aforementioned concept. On a larger scale, however, the government can choose to build-up its arms to reduce the chances of a full-blown enemy attack or pass legislation aimed at preventative procedures in case of a natural hazard. Another important function of mitigation is to manage the long-term effects of unavoidable emergencies. For instance, developing safety codes or land-use management is appropriate to showcase what this task entails. Mitigation allows the nation to create and strengthen its critical foundation, which would
Waste management involves collecting, transporting, processing, and disposing of waste. The sustainability aspect helps in enhancing maintenance of aesthetic, healthy, and ecologically sound environs. Effective waste management practices within the construction industry reduce environmental degradation, which affects both fauna and flora (Waste n.d.). There are numerous waste materials in the construction industry, especially solid wastes, which still lack a strong policy for disposal. Therefore, construction managers ought to device suitable disposal techniques that can make the processes within this industry sustainable. Waste management strategies should be sustainable in order to create a cleaner environment, as well as conserve resources of nutrients, raw materials, energy, and water. Large construction projects produce wastes that construction managers must devise ways of mitigating. Construction, demolition, and land clearing debris (CDL) that comes from the mentioned project require salvaging, recycling, and complete prevention (Ma 2011). Removing valuable and reusable construction resources prior to demolishing structures constitute salvage. In large construction projects, wood, cardboard and gypsum wallboard are highly likely to be the main eco-friendly materials that remain after work completion. The reduction strategy identifies pote
