Influenza is one disease that is of significant public health concern in the United States. Consequently, a lot of information on the disease is available on local, state and national websites. These sites provide information on the condition including how to take care of patients affected. Relevant local, state, and national websites were assessed to determine the Hawaiian Influenza status. A table on the content of these websites was created. This essay describes and summarizes the findings of the national, state, and local government on their coverage of influenza. Information Overlap The websites selected had significant information overlap. These websites discussed influenza and provided information to any individual that opened the pages. First, all the three websites defined the condition, including making a description of the epidemiological characteristics of this disease. The local website made a thorough description of the health condition and the differen
Introduction Intellectual capital audit (ICA) is one of the main strategic tools which help HR management to assess and evaluate human potential and knowledge, skills, and creativity. Creativity and productivity are important attributes of a person, a group of people, or an organization. The balance and focus of an organization on these two attributes determine what an organization can accomplish. Typically, at various stages in the life of an organization or person, there is a natural focus on one or the other. Creativity is the driving force of an organization. It causes growth to occur. Without creativity, there can be no productivity. Productivity results from the exploitation of the creativity of an organization. This is Taking into account a person’s deep smartness, it is possible to say that ICA is not applicable because it cannot record all activities and adequately evaluate the knowledge and skills of a creative person. Main body The uniqueness of a deep smart person is that he/she possesses outstanding skills and knowledge, thinking, and decision-making skills. The creativity of an organization does not have to totally exist within the organization, however. An organization’s productivity can be built on others’ creativity as a base or through injection for creativity at any point in the productivity process. But an organization has to have some lead of internal creativity or it wins stagnate and die. ICA can be applied to common employees and organizations in general, but it will not reflect the analytical and information-gathering skills of a deep-smart person (Mullins, 1993). A deep smart person can easily extrapolate information, considering unique context and settings, make unusual and even odd decisions and establish the rule of the game. Any of the ICA can assess and evaluate these skills and knowledge. For a deep smart person, the formation of ideas is driven by interaction with the marketplace (customers, technology, and competition). The organization is small; the ideas being tested can reside in the mind of one individual. That individual can look at the issues of the marketplace and the business, and can develop the vision. The pull of the market comes from current customers and known and unknown potential customers. Market push comes from the technology-direct technology, supportive technology, and enabling technology. The clash in the marketplace comes from competitors–direct, indirect, and structural (Baron and Kreps 1999). Taking into account communication theories, it is possible o say that face-to-face and online communication differs greatly. A person can have excellent face-to-face communication skills, but it will be difficult to assess them during onli
The gendered division of labour is widely regarded as a critical manifestation of gender injustice. It has various implications for families. According to Bergen (2013), the gendered division of labour has multiple adverse impacts on women. Bergen (2013, p. 147) argues, “Women are made vulnerable by the gendered distribution of tasks long before they face choices about how to distribute their time between publicly remunerated work and private unpaid occupation”. Women become vulnerable as society expects them to spend considerable time taking care of their dependents. Thus, they are forced to choose certain career trajectories that deprive them of the opportunity to exploit their potentials. The labour market is structured in a manner that jobs, which accommodate the needs of women, are low-paying (Bergen 2013). A majority of women sign up for sales, teaching, nursing, and administrative jobs. The jobs have limited prominent positions and a small room for career development. On the other hand, men do not worry about the responsibility of caregiving. Consequently, they effortlessly sign up for jobs that have prestigious professional positions. According to Berk (2012), the gendered division of labour has a high toll on women than men. Women continue to earn meagre salaries compared to their male counterparts despite being equally educated. This paper will discuss the injustices of the gendered division of labour. Gendered Division of Labour Berk (2012, p. 74) posits, “The gendered division of labour in the family does not merely denote the gender-based separate labour assignments in the household”. Rather, it has great economic, social, and cultural implications. The gendered division of labour is a facet of social structure. It entails the gender-based separate organisation of household and market work—the employment targets individuals who do not have major tasks for housework and work full-time. In most cases, labour market targets men as they do not assume household duties like taking care of children. On the other hand, women are expected to bear the responsibilities of housework. Thus, they do not have an opportunity to engage in full-time employment. Berk (2012) argues that the distinct organisation of family and market work involves discrete gender responsibil
Child abuse is an act where the rights of a child are violated for a particular reason. Child abuse ranges from several acts which can be summarised as: denial of the right to education; denial of the right to basic necessities; Inflicting pain by form of beating or any other type that can be considered molestation; rape and other sexual forms of harassment; and child labour. The following references would be useful when coming up with an educational program for sensitizing the community on child abuse. Reference material The report “Initial reliability and validity of a new retrospective measure of child abuse and neglect” by Bernstein, Fink and Handelsman (1994) provides the findings of the consistency and validity of some of the conservative measures of child abuse and neglect, by analyzing the responses from administering a questionnaire. The test was conducted on patients who were dependent on either alcohol or drugs, and a re-test followed after a period of about four months. From the questionnaires, it was deduced that child abuse and neglect constituted four factors namely: physical neglect, sexual abuse, amotional neglect, and physical and emotional abuse. In the book “ Violence Against Children – Physical Child Abuse in The United States ”, Gil (1973) provides some useful facts acquired after the careful examination of various studies conducted on child abuse. The author looks into public awareness, attitudes and opinions, in order to evaluate the scope of child abuse in the United States. Information used by Gil in his analysis is obtained from incidents of physical abuse reported via legal channels that are evident from statistics on juvenile courts, child care facilities, correctional institution
Introduction From its launch in 1995, Amazon has grown to become the main choice for online shoppers across the world based on its array of quality products. Amazon Company’s success has been impressive, thanks to the company’s efforts to address its core competencies. Using VRIO analysis, this paper discusses research and development, organization culture, customer relations, incumbent advantages, and branding as Amazon Company’s key competencies. Amazon’s Core Competencies The Research and Development (R&D) has initiated and executed ideas such as Listmania and Kindle, which have proved valuable to the company. These ideas have attracted many consumers since they allow them to choose the products they find most valuable. Nonetheless, these ideas are not rare since Amazon’s competitors have parallel technologies. For instance, the Noble Company has a feature that enables clients to share opinions on products they have searched or bought. These products are expensive to imitate because of the corresponding technological dexterity and high costs to develop features such as Kindle. Moreover, these features are appropriate for the success of the organization since the efforts by the R&D department are met to enhance consumer shopping experience (Mennen 45). As Hill and Gareth confirm, Amazon has established an organizational culture whereby ideals such as prudence and leadership are given top priority (56). This organizational norm is dear to the firm since it keeps it at the forefront of other companies in the industry in terms of efficient exploitation of resources and the introduction of changes in the company. However, this culture is not rare since most organizations encourage frugality and good leadership. Moreover, it is not difficult to imitate it since its implementation is inexpensive and publicly available in Amazon’s website. This organization culture that promotes prudence and leadership is relevant for the organization since it attracts and retains customers. It improves consumer experience, thus granting the company advantage over its competitors (Amazon 12). Harris says that the company recognizes that maintaining good customer relations is crucial to its prosperity (10). The company finds it valuable to allow shoppers to review the products to attract other potential customers. However, this strategy is not rare since most companies have similar tendencies of allowing their customers to share opinions on their (companies) products. Furthermore, this idea is not technical to imitate since firms should only comprehend the anticipations of their clients and strive to satisfy them. Maintaining a good rapport with customers is appropriate for the organization, as it helps to control the online commercial market (Mennen 67). Amazon joined the online shopping business at time when there were few online users or online shopping firms. Being the first in the industry has been of great value, as it has enjoyed several incumbent advantages such as the economies of scale of the business. This opportunity is a rare since there can only be one first-enterer. Additionally, it is hard to mimic incumbent companies in other industrie
Introduction Economics is the study of a finite world where there are unlimited wants, relative scarcity, and where choices have to be made. In specific terms, it is the study of how individuals and societies choose to employ scarce resources that could have alternative uses to produce products and services now or in the future among various groups in the society. (Glanville and Mark, 64) In a finite world, individuals and societies are confronted by limited resources such as factors of production, time, budgets, technology, information, and knowledge. The resources are labor, land and capital, and entrepreneurship ability. The alternative resources are matter, technology, time, and energy. The scarcity of the resources that arise in an economic system forces people to make choices. These choices in a finite word have ‘opportunity cost’-this is the value of the next best alternative sacrificed. (Glanville and Mark, 67) Economics is the social aspect that can be used to study human behavior and institutional arrangements in societies that influence the processes by which the relatively scarce resources are allocated to alternative sources. Economists view things in a unique way. The same people will deliver and apply the principles about economic behavior at two levels i.e. macroeconomics and microeconomics. The microeconomics which forms the basis of this discussion looks at the specific economic unit. All the details of the economic unit are converged in microeconomics analysis or the very small segment of the economy. Firms, households, and industries are analyzed individually. Economists tend to solve the dilemma of the big question of how the society can be organized in a way that the liberty and autonomy of an individual can be protected yet at the same time provide for the commonweal. The above statement forms the basis of our study in which we shall examine the main concepts of economics related to income and wealth inequality and methods to measure such. In this study, we shall use the Lorenz curve and the Gini Coefficient, which originated in the early years of the twentieth century (1995) by Max Otto Lorenz. (Glanville, 22) Inequality Analysis In economics, the inequality analysis is supported in terms of the apparent important groupings in the population. This method chooses a particular defining characteristic that should be a determinant of inequality in some sense and partitions the population into groups according to the value of this population. E.g. sex as a characteristic can form a partition group of men and women. (Champernowne and Cowell 119) The Lorenz curve When constructing this curve for measuring worldwide inequality, the standard framework is built up in four stages. This curve also requires one to draw the X and Y-axis in which the X-axis represents the cumulative percent of the household measured and the Y-axis measure the cumulative percentage of wealth. The graph’s axis is closed to form a box. The second procedure requires one to order the distribution from the smallest to the largest. This enables one to answer the ques
Introduction Interviews can be viewed as the method of collecting information of interest or general facts about the participants and as a category. Interview as a category is a broader concept and involves detailed work with the data collected throughout the interviewing process. It implies conversation analysis, which requires both recording and a thorough examination of what has been said. The interview’s objectives include assembling data from the answers or statements of the participants to respond to the designed questions or obtain new interesting facts (Emans, 2019). Consequently, it is crucial to construct the interview questions and the flow of the process in a proper way that will present rich information and keep future readers engaged. Interviews also represent an inherent part of digital media, because, in the modern world, they are often conducted online. Hence, digital media provides unique opportunities to collect and share information. Literature Review The modern age of digital media brings new elements in each field of life, including political, social, and commercial. The conducted research revealed are different characteristics of the content design influence, including the effects of various kinds of digital media on several aspects of social life. Curiously, content creation has a substantial impact on personal and public life and, thus, represents a significant issue. Moreover, content creation plays an essential role in social media and education, while visual and verbal communication are integral to the function of digital content. Another vital topic is the way individuals view the new digital era, its influence on businesses, and what position it has among societies. Thus, the research topic is the influence of digital media on various spheres of life on the example of conducting online interviews. Digital Media Influence on Individuals The impact of diverse digital content is claimed to be unpredictable and can have different implications in one’s life. According to McFarlane (2010), “it is difficult to theorize the possible variants in the interplay of learner, task, and media… the impact on the actors, outcomes, or processes” (p.150). Thus, besides influencing individuals as learners, digital media raises numerous issues that might have consequences in personal life and relationships with others. Technology affects the way people perceive the world, the communities, interactions with others, and life, in general (Baym, 2015). At the same time, the digital era provides various possibilities to exchange information, deliver knowledge, and share. For instance, media advancements give an opportunity to communicate in large groups, search for curious facts, and listen to the stories of others within the fields of interest (Baym, 2015). Therefore, digital content opens up new horizons for the individuals, and those involved in the information creation ha
Introduction The scholarly article about tourism is basically explaining the scope of tourism and the tourism industry in relation to the role played by national parks that act as markers for tourist attraction. The first part of this paper emphasizes nature and its importance to the tourism sector. It explains the use of different terms and the different places in the attraction of the tourists. The National parks are credited for being major tourist attraction sites as compared to national heritage and promotion of the tourism industry as they have what the tourist wants to see, that is, the beauty of nature and the which has over the years proved to be a major attraction in most places in the world. The article argues that the branding of the natural environment with the marker name, or label which forms a nucleus that is the major point of attraction for visitors visiting any given place, is an important aspect in promoting tourism. The article also talks of research conducted in Sweden in three different National sites to prove the argument of the article. In the research, the findings were analyzed with reference to the number of people who often visit the National Parks and National Heritage
Introduction In this paper, the primary requirements for obtaining a driver’s license and major steps to passing a driving test will be viewed. The Requirements To obtain a driver’s license in the U.S., one has to know exactly what requirements he or she will need to follow as they differ from state to state as well as driving laws. To find out more, one should consult a specialist at the given state’s department of motor vehicles (Berardelli, “Safe Young Drivers” 21). One can only get a license in a state he or she lives in and has to be eligible to apply, which means people with health conditions like epilepsy are not allowed to drive (Drazkowski 11). After receiving a license, one can drive anywhere in the U.S. (Berardelli, “The Driving Challenge: Dare to Be Safer and Happier on the Road” 19). Of course, “learning to drive can be nerve-wracking for teens and parents” (“Helping Teens Learn to Drive” par. 3). It does not apply to teenagers only, however. No matter how old you are when you are learning to drive, your experience will contain a certain amount of stress as you get used to the vehicle, the road conditions, and try to follow the instructor’s orders. If you are a parent anxious for your child to succeed, the handbook “Teaching Your Teens to Drive” suggests that “One of the best ways for you to influence your teen’s driving habits is to sit in the copilot seat as your teenager learns to drive” (1). It might not always be possible literally, but giving the needed emotional support is always necessary for a teenager to feel confident behind the wheel. Experience is the key. If one spends a lot of time honing his or her skills outside the driving lessons in different road and weather conditions, he or she gets a better chance to adapt to all kinds of situations on the road after acquiring the license (“Helping Teens Learn to Drive” par. 6). To practice outside of driving lessons, one can use such facilities as empty parking lots or usual roads if there’s small traffic (Ribeiro 20). Skills one learns during his or her driving practice can be divided into three groups:   * the primary skills (basic car control – gas, break, and acceleration pedals, transmission; the control panel – windshield wipers, lights, etc.);   * the secondary skills (noticing the potential road hazards; reacting accordingly to the road signs – slowing down, coming to a full stop, following distance, etc.; parking; dealing with navigation around other cars, pedestrians, animals on the road, etc.);   * the advanced skills (navigating on bigger roads – minding your speed limit, changing lanes, slowing down at intersections and traffic lights, making turns, merging into traffic, etc.). The Driving Test To finally receive your driver’s license, you will have to take a driving test. It consists of a written part and a practica
