Introduction Fulton County is in Georgia State (US) with Atlanta serving as its capital city. It is one of the most populated counties in Georgia and has a considerable number of homeless people. Based on some reasons, it is important to know the aggregate number of homeless people in Fulton County. Knowing this number aids the identification and provision of homeless victims with transitional programs and shelter. It also enables effective planning, financing, and implementation of important services to the homeless people (Hombs, 2001). The aggregate number of the homeless victims in Fulton County also indicates critical living trends within Georgia and beyond. Concurrently, it enhances the public’s understanding of the issues concerning the homeless. Finally, the data is important for the government, local authority, and other humanitarian organizations that seek to help the homeless people. The aggregate information on the number of homeless people is necessary to help the community tackle this problem. Evidently, it affects the entire community (Clapham, 2005). This paper provides the investigated aggregate number of homeless individuals in the county (Fulton). It considers the sheltered and the unsheltered individuals who were counted in a study executed by Pathways titled, “The Metro Atlanta Tri-Jurisdictional Collaborative Continuum Care on Homeless” (Clapham, 2005). The paper is divided in to various sections that deal with specific issues namely the introduction, general information and a section that include information on homeless individuals and families. In addition, the paper discerns sleeping locations, North and South Fulton, methods used in the study, and a conclusion section at the end. General Information The population of Fulton County living below the poverty line is projected to be 15%. Nearly 3250 families are likely to become homeless annually. People of Fulton County who are aware of county’s homelessness is estimated to be 6%; nonetheless, the Fulton is one of the most populated counties in Georgia State as indicated earlier. Homeless people can be classified as either unsheltered or sheltered homeless people. The unsheltered homeless people are those who reside in areas regarded unfit for human habitation (Burt, United States., & Urban Institute, 1999). Such areas can be the road side, vehicles, and abandoned buildings. The sheltered homeless are those who live in the emergency shelters that have been put by the authority and other organizations. Transitional housing is a facility providing shelter and supportive services to the homeless individuals. This is incorporated by proper management, facilitation, and provisions of adequate skills to enable homeless individuals acquire their own homes within a year. The study done by Pathways in Atlanta city, Fulton County, and DeKalb County found a total of 6838 homeless individua
Being Communication Issues Leader Being a leader means assuming a range of roles and responsibilities (Bowerman and Wart 89). Additionally, a leader must be able to acquire new skills and train them successfully. The ability to communicate efficiently can be developed by developing the skills such as active listening and the ability to negotiate, thus, addressing the emerging conflicts in a timely and efficient manner. In other words, to be able to communicate successfully, I will have to work on my skills of intensive listening. Additionally, the necessity to develop the ability to solve the emerging conflicts must be acknowledged. There is no need to stress that conflicts occur even in the most relaxed environments. Although conflicts are traditionally viewed as negative phenomena, avoiding them does not seem a reasonable strategy, as one will be unable to handle a conflict unless having real-life experiences of managing ones (Eunson 8). Therefore, these are not the avoidance approaches, but the negotiation strategies that will help me as a leader to manage communication processes in a team. Getting Priorities Straight Additionally, the ability to plan, prioritize and organize work must be brought up as an essential quality that will allow a leader to distribute roles and responsibilities adequately among the team members, as well as set specific and measurable objective, supervising the team members and evaluating the progress made by the latter. The qualities in question can be developed with the help of an adequate time management strategy, as well as the reconsideration of the leadership qualities required for the specified tasks. Particularly, as a leader, I will need to get my priorities straight so that I could be able to navigate in the array of tasks and define their urgency, therefore, locating the ones that will have to be carried out within the nearest amount of time (Wart 234). Moreover, the organization of work will require an appropriate distribution of roles and responsibilities among the staff members. For this purpose, an elaborate hierarchy will have to be introduced to the team; as a result, the members of the team will be able to identify the key objectives and strive for their accomplishment (Rothstein and Burke 245). Flexibility and Sustainability Last but definitely not last, I have learned about the aspect of leadership known as the flexibility of approach. The given quality is crucial to successful project outcomes; therefore, a leader must strive for developing enough flexibility. Moreover, the significance of flexibility has recently increased due to the enhanced rates of diversity in all domains, including work, education, etc. In other words, a leader must be able to adapt to new circumstances, unique characteristics of the people, who contribute to the evolution of the company, certain changes in the political, economic or financial environment, etc.
The main purpose of design is the creation of the appropriate, aesthetic and visually appealing work that would draw the attention of the target audience. The design needs to include functionality, legibility and must be effective in the transition of the intended message. However, “the effectiveness of visual communications is not guaranteed in the visually-cluttered environment of the 21st century” (Technology & Business Journal, 2015, par. 2). Color and contrast are the basic elements that can ensure the efficiency of design and can make the message decoding easier. In the logo of the World Wildlife Fund, the black and white image of a panda bear is represented. The visual contrast in this logo is strong. In both physical and digital contexts, the contrast and the chosen colors ensure the high level of readability and minimize the level of the image perception subjectivity. According to the Gestalt psychology, some visual forms and methods of the organization make the image more recognizable and easy to comprehend, for example, circles and rounds are considered as “good” forms (McManus, Stover, & Kim, 2011). The design’s soft and roundish lines and the appropriate proximity of its elements contribute to the effective visual organization that in turn helps to reduce the possibility of misinterpretation of the design’s conceptual content. WWF addresses the international community, the representatives of different social statuses, genders, ethnicities, and cultures. The perception of each person depends on the experience, the personal and cultural background to a large extent. However, WWF’s logo can be considered efficient in addressing the multiple populations because the message can be easily recognized. There are less than 2.000 panda bears left in the wild, WWF thus states the urge for preservation by picking panda as a symbol. Although not everyone may know the facts about the animals that are endangered and face the threats of extinction, the panda bear is the animal that has the appeal and is loved by many people worldwide. WWF’s logo, therefore, draws attention and effectively fulfills its purpose. Advertisement Poster: Lanvin Chocolat (ca. 1950) “Vision deals with the raw material of experience by creating a corresponding pattern of general forms, which apply not only to the individual case at hand but to an indeterminate number of other, similar cases as well” (Arnheim, 2004, p. 46). The visual design can be regarded as a method of communication and correspondence between a particular object of design and physical, cultural, and mental reality. The current analysis is devoted to the evaluation of the visual content in the Lanvin Chocolat vintage poster by Harvé
According to Sandel, it is the financial crisis experienced in 2008 as well as the preceding years which made the market economy become a market society. It created a difficult time calling for faith in the markets as well as deregulation otherwise referred to as a time for market success. Prolific people like Reagan and Thatcher fueled their belief in the markets but not the government administration to propagate success as well as freedom. Through the 1990s, Clinton as well as Blair continued moderating this view as well as consolidating the belief that those markets could indeed be the basic way through which public good could be attained. The list of sellable services and items shown at the start of the essay serves a very important purpose. They try to show us how the markets have changed over the years. The list shows that nearly everything unimaginable is now equal for sale in the market economy. This shows the kind of change that has occurred within the market society. Sandel attempts to make a very important point when he mentions the move to even now sell slaves and children. This view is aimed at espousing to what extent amorality is attached within the current market liberalization. It shows that anything is for sale as long as it is aimed at profit maximization. Sandel poses the question as to why we have to worry that everything is up for sale and offers two answers. The reasons he offers are inequality and corruption. Concerning inequality, he says that living in a place where everything is up for sale is difficult for the people who lack money. The more cash one has to buy something, the more the richness or absence of it becomes important. According to him, if the sole advantage of richness was the capacity to purchase fancy and expensive things, the inequalities existing in income as well as wealth would not be as important as they seem to be currently. However, with the ability to purchase more and more through cash, the nature of distribution of income and richness changes. Secondly, as for corruption, there seems to be an overarching corrosive tendency caused by the markets. Sandel says that pricing all the good things in the world can lead to a corruption of the same. This is owed to the fact that markets do not just allocate goods but rather express and endorse several attitudes to the goods that are being traded. Posing the question and the answer at the middle of the article is better since it helps reflect upon the earlier information provided to us that leads to the question. There has to be a place where I can draw the line between sellable items and morals. Items for sale should not hurt that moral fiber. Some of the items listed for sale in this article actually cross the moral limit, because they tend to go against the moral liberties as well
Conservation of environment has become the major priority in the current world due to unexpectedly disappearing of fauna and flora at the highest rate leading to the alarming deterioration of benefits man obtained from Mother Nature especially clean water and plenty of food among others. (Gagnon, 2002.) The current human activities and water handling especially the construction of Dams have really changed the hydrologic regimes causing alterations of biotic population and structure in marine, marshland and riparian ecosystems. These activities are chief contributors to the changes in the river hydrology since they change the flow, frequency, magnitude and timing of water down the stream causing totally different hydrologic regimes from the natural flow of regime. IHA (indicators of hydrogen assessment) method was invented in order to indicate extent of human interference to the level of hydrologic modification within the ecosystem surrounding the dams by analyzing data gathered within the ecosystem especially from different streams feeding the dam. This data is rather used to assess the impact of human activities especially those activities such as diversion of the original flow of water and land use during Dam construction. (Gagnon, 2002.) Based on 32 biologically relevant hydrologic parameters, the IHA hydrologic parameters are further divided into five major categories in order to analyse hydrologic variations they include: Water magnitude at an instance of time helps to measure the suitability of the habitant at particular ecosystem especially studies related to their habitant volume or to analyze the position of wetland in relation to the water The cycle of occurrence of certain water conditions such as floods and droughts can determine the mortality level species during this stressful water conditions and can also be used to analyze if the requirement of certain life-cycles of some species are met(Gagnon, 2002.) The rate of occurrence of certain water conditions like drought and floods may be used to study how they influence population of the species by tying them to the mortality and reproduction events of various species (Gagnon, 2002.) The period of existence of particular water conditions also can dictate the degree to which the molesting effects such as desiccation can amount and can also determine if it is possible to complete certain life-cycles. (Gagnon, 2002.) The frequency of change of water conditions may dictate the period to which some organisms may be stranded along the water banks or the period of contact with which the organisms may be able to get in contact with water supply(Gagnon, 2002.) The chief role of these IHA 32 parameters is to give the detailed information of the hydrologic regime in order to help those conducting activities that may alter the hydrology of some ecosystems to research on their effect to the fauna and the flora. They also c
Introduction The movie industry is a part of the mainstream culture which reflects general tendencies and trends that affected the society. The movies School Ties (1992), Marjorie Morningstar (1958) and Crossing Delancey (1988) vividly portray Jewish identity and Jewish culture In America. In recent decades it has not been the Jews alone who have fretted over their identity. During the last generation the term has acquired a central position in psychological and social theory due, perhaps, to greater awareness of the dislocations in the relationship between individual and society that characterize the process of economic modernization and of the problems of preserving cultural continuity from one generation to another in the context of nontraditional societies. Thesis The movies portray traditional values and lifestyle of American-Jewish and a change in cultural traditions: School Ties is based on the theme of national prejudices and stereotypes while Marjorie Morningstar and Crossing Delancey portray a conflict between modern traditions and cultural values of the Jewish families. Critics (Erens 43) admit that other reasons for Jewish entry to the mainstream were many and mutually reinforcing. This outcome was a stage in a long-range trend, the maturation of an acculturated second generation come of age in large numbers. They were free Americans aspiring to achieve in the arts, as well as the professions and business. Despite the discouragement from shortsighted editors and publishers in the late 1940s and early 1950s, they persisted. They overcame not only because of quality of writing, but also because their writing was viable in the marketplace (Buhle 123). Out of the large reservoir of talent on which the second generation drew was an impressive number of literary artists. The Jewish immigration under restrictive laws failed to provide obvious “foreigners” who might serve as targets of prejudice. This does not mean, of course, that discrimination had disappeared altogether. Movies review The movie School Ties directed by Robert Mandel was released in 1992. The main character of the movie, David Green, is a schoolboy belonging to a working-class Jewish family. Similar to two other movies, the events took place in 1950s, and vividly portray Jewish identity and unique culture based on strict religious and family striations. A conflict of the story is based on the national and cultural differences between David Green, a Jew and his classmates, mostly Americans. This movie vividly portrays Jewish-American culture and lifestyle, traditions and values dominated in Jewish families. In contrast to Marjorie Morningstar and Crossing Delancey, School Ties portrays racial envy and cultural prejudices faced by David. One day, going to school David is met by a group of local hooligans who try to beet him. David is insulted by harsh remarks about his identity and religion. School Ties shows that i ndividual identity is built upon pre-adult identification
This case Kirk v. Mercy Hospital is important because it illustrates the necessity to protect whistleblowers in healthcare organizations. Moreover, it highlights the importance of ethical choices that medical workers have to take while interacting with patients or their relatives. These stakeholders should have access to the information about medical treatment that they received. It should be noted that this conflict arose when a nurse-plaintiff wad dismissed from hospital because she spoke about the incompetent behavior of a doctor who did not provide proper treatment to the patient (Pozgar 506). This situation is vital because it shows that legislators and hospital administrators should develop a set of regulations that facilitate openness and integrity within medical institutions. This is the main task that should be addressed. This case indicates at several important issues that cannot be overlooked. First of all, it demonstrates that in many sit
Executive Summary Communication is an integral part of human life; with increase in technology more communication methods are devised. Mobile technology has taken center stage all over the world. There are many companies that are targeting the increased market. Nokia is one of the leading world producers of mobile phones. China has the world largest population and this makes the country a fertile market for Nokia phones. As a leader in phone industry, the company has to devise a marketing plan that can penetrate Chinese market despite competition from other international phone companies and Chinese local phone manufacturing industry. Business strategies involve all measures that are aimed at creating awareness and developing a competitive edge of a company’s product. It includes internal and external audits, market segmentation, developing product differentiation mechanisms and having an effective marketing mix. Introduction Nokia is an international company which has an international recognition. It has a strong brand all over the world; the company’s positioning statement is “technology connecting people”. Its positioning statement is rooted to the people to develop a close connection with the people that it targets with its products. The company is favored by a pool of experience that has been built over a period of time. Nokia entered Chinese market in 1985, when its first company was established in Beijing. Since then the branch has expanded and has now employed over 600 employees. The company implements different strategies in its move to dominate in the Chinese market. In the country there are two research centers to ensure that they assist the company in its implementation of programs (Nokia Official website, 2010). This marketing plan will be divided into segments that discuss different marketing issues administered by the company. The first part discuses the marketing strategy adopted by the company in Chinese market, it will look into market segmentation done by the company. The second part will concentrate on competitive strategy adopted by the company. In conclusion the paper will give a general view of Nokia Chinese business strategies. China China is a Middle East country that has undergone rapid economic growth rate in the recent past. The economic growth is a major determinant in making decision on whether to make an investment in the country. China has highly modern d
Introduction Lateral violence is one of the most critical problems of modern medical institutions. This type of abuse, also called horizontal, is a type of bullying that occurs between peers at the same level (Oh, Uhm & Yoon, 2016). Given the specifics of the work of nurses, conflicts of this kind negatively affect both the whole process of work and the health of patients in particular. The purpose of this paper is to describe the problems and dangers of lateral violence, identify its sources, and make recommendations for improving work conditions for nurses. Clinical Issue The stated problem is not a new phenomenon; however, due to the nurses’ shortage, more attention has recently been paid to this problem. Researchers discovered that the percentage of nurses who experience lateral violence is significant, and it is growing. According to Sanner-Stiehr & Ward-Smith (2017), over four years of research, the rate of nurses who changed jobs due to bullying increased by four percent. However, organizations often aim at conducting activities that combat the consequences, not the causes of violence (Sanner-Stiehr & Ward-Smith, 2017). Because of this, the scale of the problem only increases every year. Root Causes A literature review was conducted to analyze this problem in detail and to find the root causes. According to researchers, the reasons for lateral violence contain many aspects, from the personality characteristics of a person to the cultural issues of the studied country. Thus, according to Oh, Uhm & Yoon (2016), in comparison to Western countries, cases of physical violence among nurses in Korean hospitals occur much more often. There is also the problem of pressure from the authorities, and, lastly, the age factor can play a massive role in lateral violence as well. Young nurses are twice as likely to encounter bullying from their older colleagues, and this is almost universally observed (Oh & Yoon, 2016). The list of possible causes is, in fact, extensive, and to no small extent, it depends on what country and the social situation in the region the researcher studies. Aggregate Data Aggregated data includes research from various scholars collected in three articles from journals such as the Journal of Nursing Management, the Journal of Professional Nursing, and the Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice. Among these articles, extensive statistics are presented that allow us to conclude about the prevalence of the problem of lateral violence, its dynamics, and possible forecasts. These articles were obtained during the search for relevant resources over the past five years. List of Major Barriers and Facilitators Each organization has specific barriers and facilitators that interfere or, conversely, f
