The focus of the interview with a nurse working in an orthopedic outpatient setting was to highlight the main leadership style, challenges, philosophy, and problem-solving techniques as a leader. The answers were then investigated to analyze the most practical leadership style further. The interview revealed transformational leadership as the most frequently used working style in the area, as it can positively influence a whole group of working nurses if a strong leader sets a good example (Sigler & Gray, 2019). However, the evident challenges that arise from this leadership arrangement include increased pressure being put on the leader and the requirement of retaining a team of motivated staff members. This process can be difficult to manage without a structured plan. To maximize productivity in the chosen field, one must choose one philosophy or technique and practice its principles in daily work procedures. Surprisingly, one mentioned technique revolved around experimentation and learning from past failures. This philosophy has been researched before and could be relevant to the transformational leadership style. A study by Pardue et al. (2018) confirmed the successful rate of the theory’s incorporation into nurses’ shifts. The results demonstrated the idea that leaders taking risks in the field of nursing promotes better decision-making and stimulates independent management (Pardue et al., 2018). Hence, one central recommendation from the nurse’s response and research involves taking action in unpredictable situations. As a leader, one must demonstrate the behavior by being a role model: clearly identifying the issue and brainstorming with their colleagues to determine the best solution. Problem-solving does not always have to follow specific rules taught in college; neither does it solely require the leader’s abilities. As experience shows, the most beneficial results are ones that illustrate the collaborative skills of the whole nursing team, examined by the leader.
Introduction On September 11, 2001, a well planned and a devastating attack was directed to the United States of America. An Islamic extremist group called al Qaeda was responsible for these attacks. These attacks were a blow to the economic and the business fabric of the U.S., and as a result, of the world. Despite the fact that the U.S. economy was slowing in the months prior to this incident, the consequences of the terrorist act tipped the economy further into depression. The tourism and the travel industry were among the severely affected by September 11, but the industries are recovering. Background information about the disaster The terrorist attacks which took place on September 11, 2001, usually referred to as the 9/11 attacks, were a sequence of attacks in which suicide bombers driven by religious fundamentalism and the hatred for the U.S., targeted the country’s citizens. That day, nineteen terrorists linked to the al Qaeda terrorist organization hijacked four commercial planes and every team was composed of an experienced pilot. The pilots of two of these airlines headed them for the Twin Towers in New York. The third airline was directed towards to the Pentagon while the fourth one was crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Because of this disaster, 2973 individuals lost their lives and no one knows the whereabouts of twenty-four individuals until today. Economic effects arising from 9/11 Major economic effects were felt after the 9/11 suicide attacks. The initial shock made the worldwide stock markets to drop significantly. The opening of the New York Stock did was hindered after the first attack, and activities for the day were postponed after the second attack. The stock exchanged remained closed for a week. The London Stock Exchange and others were also closed. Gold prices, oil prices, and oil prices all spiked upwards. The Federal Reserve increased its lending to financial institutions in the U.S. to undertake uncleared credit payments. Other sectors of the economy such as the insurance, agriculture, small businesses, and airlines were also affected. The insurance industry was severely affected following September 11 attacks. This is because of the huge costs involved and the unexpected change of events. The high number of deaths and extensive damage to infrastructure resulted in a massive infrastructure/casualty claim in history. The loss was approximated to be $40 billion. Consequently, shares of most insurance companies reduced by over ten percent. Prior to 9/11, the agricultural sector was starting to pick up from years of low returns. However, in the aftermath of 9/11, the sector experienced major losses due to delayed deliveries into both the domestic and the international market. The revenues of the agricultural sector are largely dependent on the quantity of exports made and the cost of inputs such as fuel and fertilizer. The changing geopolitical situations in the aftermath of the suicide attacks significantly affected the U.S. agricultural sector. The Septembe
Introduction Currently, I work with the Saudi Arabian monitory agency (SAMA) in Saudi Arabia, as a banking inspector in the inspection department. SAMA essentially operates in the country as a reserve bank, whereby its responsibilities involve monitoring banks and other relevant banking tasks in the region. The inspection department has five teams, and each has a different banking operation. In the first three years, I worked with the banking complaints team, which comprised 12 members. Our functions involved receiving complaints from commercial banks’ customers who had issues with their banks and could not find a way to solve them at their local banks. So, those clients raised their cases against their banks to SAMA. The banking complaints team took upon itself to investigate these cases and ensure that the bank was complying with SAMA rules. Problem The department has a strategy of interchanging members of teams every three years. The manager of the department individually decides to make the exchange between the teams’ members. Consequently, the decision affects all the teams as they need new members to fill the gaps. I was transferred to the anti-money laundering team, the role of which was to collaborate with government agencies in the communities of anti-money laundering. The team also coordinated with monastery of interior to investigate suspicious people accounts and transactions. This team had more complex and difficult tasks than my previous team. Its members needed to deal with covert and significant issues. All the team members were law professionals and had a long experience in the team tasks, while I had a bachelor degree in accounting with only 3 years of experience. I realized the problem after I first moved to the anti-money laundering team. First, all the members were dissatisfied with the decision of members’ exchange. They felt that the department manager should have consulted with them before trading off members. Secondly, the complexity of the team duties required the members to have had long experience and high quality education in law wi
One of the most notable features of the 1999 film Shower (directed by Zhang Yang), is that this movie does make it possible for viewers to savor the authentic taste of what used to be the realities of a Chinese living, during the nineties. The reason for this is that, throughout the mentioned historical period, the process of China’s industrialization, attained an exponential momentum. In its turn, this caused the Chinese society to become especially sensitive to what accounts for the dichotomy between ‘tradition’, on one hand, and ‘modernity’, on the other (Young and Deng 1441) – the idea that is being explored throughout the film’s entirety. In my paper, I will aim to substantiate the validity of this suggestion at length, while outlining the specifics of how some of the film’s major characters relate to the motif of ‘tradition’ vs. ‘modernity’, and expounding on what can be considered this motif’s discursive significance. The idea that the film Shower is indeed about exposing the inconsistency between the ‘traditional ways’ of China, on one hand, and the process of this country becoming progressively affiliated with the ways of modernity, on the other, can be inferred from watching the film’s two initial scenes. In the first of them, we get to see a young Chinese man stepping into something that can be well described as an ‘automated shower booth’, where he is being thoroughly washed and ‘dried’, within a matter of five minutes. Throughout the procedure, this man’s facial expression remains utterly unemotional, as if he was not much of a human, but rather a car at the auto-wash facility (Shower 00.01.33). It is understood, of course, that the above-mentioned scene was meant to stress out what Zhang Yang believed to be the most distinctive aspect of ‘modernity’ – the fact that it causes people to grow increasingly alienated from what accounts for their sense of self-identity – hence, making them nothing short of ‘robots’, incapable of appreciating life to its fullest. The consequential scene, in which we get to observe the functioning of the family-operated bathhouse (ran by Old Liu) in Beijing, could not be more discursively incompatible with the earlier mentioned one. The reason for this is quite apparent – as this scene implies, people used to come to visit Liu’s bathhouse not only to cleanse their bodies but also to be able to socialize with one another (Shower 00.05.19). Allegorically speaking, Liu’s bathhouse appears to have been helping its regular attendees to ‘purify’ their souls. This simply could not be otherwise – the very ‘activity’ of spending long hours in the hot bathtub, while chatting with mind-likes, naturally enables one to lessen the acuteness of its life-impending unconscious anxieties. What is especially peculiar about how the film depicts Liu’s bathhouse, is that there appears to be the strongly defined atmosphere of an interpersonal intimacy between visitors – these people give each other massages and feel at ease while discussing a variety o
Trait theorists assert that people have distinct characters that influence their behaviors. Personality can be categorized into two wide dimensions (Nevid & Rathus, 2013). The dimensions are introversion and emotional stability. Healthy personality approach focuses on positive aspects of life. Based on the approach, trait theorists believe that the study of the positive aspects of life is more helpful in addressing human problems. Trait theorists associate the healthy personality with having the ability to adapt to adjustment (Nevid & Rathus, 2013). They emphasize on the description of individuals’ character rather than on their sources or alteration. According to trait theorists, healthy personality is perceived as the addition of a person’s response repertoire. Notably, response repertoire is achieved through experience. They believe that humans should focus their concentration on the visible behavior rather than on theorized unconscious forces. Similarly, trait theorists assume that humans should focus on the situational variables of their behavior. In addition, they also upheld the logic of individual freedom or capacities to implement free will (Nevid & Rathus, 2013). Unlike physicians, trait theorists focus more on healthy personality as a means of helping individuals to become happy (Myers, 2004). As such, the trait theorist approach focuses mainly on the healthy patterns on individual growth and progress (Nevid & Rathus, 2013). Based on the above approach, trait theorists address humans’ problems by focusing on the positive aspects of life rather than on the negative aspects. The patterns are social and vocational development. On the other hand, physicians focus on the means through which physiology can be applied to help persons address individual challenges and manage stress. Reference Myers, D. G. (2004).

Social media platforms have complicated algorithms which propose information or advertising according to the users’ interests. For instance, the work of those algorithms can be easily seen in TikTok by watching an interesting video. The app can categorize the topics and propose similar videos to maintain the attention of the user. To prove this theory, I started to watch many videos about ice-skating. Consequently, every third video on ticktock was related to this specific topic. When I scroll down ice-skating videos without watching them, they start to appear rarely in my TikTok field. The same algorithm works when I start skipping interesting videos and watching something I did. It becomes difficult to return videos that I like as the algorithm follows all my actions. Instagram and YouTube have the same algorithm system, and the proposed advertising is usually based on past Google research. For instance, recently, I have been looking for a new pair of shoes, and a huge number of advertisements started to be shown while watching videos on YouTube or while watching stories on Instagram. Moreover, some algorithms have the ability to remember audio, and while talking to someone, the systems catch different product names, and promotions can appear in the social media field. On the one hand, this technology might be helpful as people can see different information according to their interests. Moreover, advertisements might not be disruptive and sometimes propose needed products. However, as long as phones and other gadgets might hear what people are talking about and send this information to the artificial intelligence which produces algorithms, it might be scary for some people, and the trust level might decrease.
This paper is based on the article taken from the website of the New York Times newspaper. The article is called “Harry Potter Casts a Spell for Tolerance”, it was written by Annie Murphy Paul and posted on the website on the fourteenth of August. The author of the article explores the role of literature in the social and moral development of the adolescents and children. The article explains that through reading about familiar experiences in popular literature young people can perceive the equality of all social groups, learn to respect the differences of people, be tolerant and friendly towards the diverse members of the society. Taking a fantasy novel by J. K. Rowling as an example of explanations of social discrimination and the value of tolerance the author demonstrates how such methods provided through popular books can educate young people about the life in a diverse society. “Harry Potter” novels present diverse social groups within its fictional society, but instead of the cultural clashes typical for our society such as the differences between white and black people, between Muslims and Christians, the author creates her own conflicting social groups such as wizards, muggles and mudbloods (Paul 2014). The article notes that literature can help young people to develop tolerance by enforcing their diversity of imagination. The author of the article mentions that the best and only way to destroy the unfriendly stereotypes and judgments is a long-term communication between the members of the confronting groups. To increase the time teenagers spend experiencing the issues of diversity this aspect is brought into the products of modern culture such as movies and books. This subject is an applied example of developmental psychology in adolescence. This stage starts with the beginning of puberty and goes on for several years. During the period of adolescence children grow to learn about the social roles and statuses of adult people, their responsibilities and duties. This is the stage when teenagers start forming their social opinions and identity and employ the morals and behaviors they believe are appropriate in various situations. This is why proper social education is highly important at this stage. It allows the adolescents to learn more about such important aspects as manners, etiquette, tact, tolerance, respect, trust, and reliability. It is a well-known fact that adolescents tend to unite into groups and follow the same behavioral patterns. For the children of teen age, it is highly important to feel like they belong together with someone, that their experiences are shared by other members of their social groups. The device employed by J. K. Rowling in her novels allows the adolescents reading these books to recognize the experiences they have been through, relate to the characters and learn from their behavior. The experience of being discriminated ed
Introduction Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is currently the Emir of Qatar. This politician is known for his inspirational and powerful speeches that he prepares without anyone’s help, and that appear to overwhelm the public. To begin with, it is necessary to mention that Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is a popular person among the population of his country because he was participating in a number of events that were aimed at the promotion of sports in Qatar. Nowadays, the sheikh is known as the wealthiest young man occupying the leading post of his country in the entire Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC). The following paper is intended to discuss one of Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani’s most notable speeches and the influence it made on the audience. Also, the information below will include several facts to explain why people in Qatar love their Emir and what had this person done for his state. Most Powerful Speech Recently, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani participated in the seventy-second Session of the UN (United Nations) General Assembly that was organized in the city of New York. Indeed, the government leader did not address the citizens of the country with the help of this particular performance. Nevertheless, this speech is an example of all of his addresses made during various events because it shows his dedication to it and emotions that he wants the audience to feel while listening to him. “I wish also to express my appreciation to His Excellency Mr. Peter Thomson for his valuable efforts in managing the affairs of the 71st Session of the General Assembly, and I take this opportunity to commend the efforts of His Excellency the Secretary-General, Mr. Antonio Guterres, to strengthen the role of the United Nations” (The Peninsula 2017, p. 1). Also, it would be proper to mention that another speech performed by Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani was made during the process of sheikh’s inauguration. The manner of the politician’s performances is somewhat unusual. The Emir of Qatar uses his charisma and well trained rhetorical skills to influence the audience and make an impression on the listeners. Why People Like the Emir’s Speeches To begin with, it esse
Introduction In The history of ancient Egypt, The Middle Kingdom of Egypt refers to a period that stretches over the eleventh dynasty up to the completion of the fourteenth dynasty. This is the period in history known to be between 2055BC and 1650BC. This period was dominated by Osiris cult in major parts of Egypt.Historians have documented proof showing that the Middle Kingdom partially owned the 13th Dynasty. Historians argue that part of the thirteenth dynasty belonged to the Middle Kingdom. Hence, this era saw the 11th dynasty ruling from Thebes, while El-lisht was the operating village for the 12th dynasty. When the old kingdom collapsed, Egypt plunged into a time when Pharaonic power was weak. Egypt Many facets characterized the literature of the Middle Kingdom. Thus, the literature shaped Egyptian culture in numerous ways. According to Lichtheim(128), the literature produced during this era was anchored on Egyptian official castes. Perhaps, it can be attributed to the message which was conveyed. Besides, most of the literature published during this era was mainly circulated after the approval by central administration of theMiddle kingdom. The Egyptian royal court was portrayed as the powerhouse of all literary material, thus, other facets of Egyptian culture failed adequately to match the philosophical significance linking courts and literature. In understanding how this literature shaped ancient Egypt, clear evidence can be linked to the courts of the time.The courts were widespread across geographical region in the Kingdom and this simplified administration,whereas providing easy circulation of literarymaterials. Consequently, the literature of this time was closely linked to individual identity. According toLichtheim (113), this was seen as a symbol of unsociablecharacter because it precipitated stress on the latent of adverse characteristics of the prevailing individual situation. Values and Ideas The Middle Kingdom was endowed with a variety of ideas and values. This was explicitly expressed in Literary approach present. Literary world in ancientEgypt pointed to a unified or near to ordinary verbal language of everyday society. The languages of legendary texts, excluding Tale of Wole and Amun were a hybrid that evolved progressively as a result of spoken pre-history undertakings. Thus, this showed the value anchored on historical happenings. According to Lichtheim(33), the syntax of the language of contemporarybooklets, for example portrayed extensive use of semanticdevices (Lichtheim, 113). Consequently,substantial language use can be nevertheless be differentiated with conventional Egyptian culture.The idea of embracing designs on papyrus is noted to have massively increased the use of symbol texts. Papyrus creativity of the MiddleKingdom encouraged graving, of non- royal biographies and of amalgamsdesigns such as; Harris Papyrus linked the o interpretations of the act of Ramesses III centers between Conventional and late Egypt. Things I have Read The history of Middle Kingdom in Egypt rejuvenates in me the mythical account of XVII Dynasty. The account of this dynasty was limited, and comprised of poorly conserved papyrus tex
