Adolescents face several challenges when it comes to controlling pregnancies because they are often vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment. For instance, girls are likely to be abused because they have little understanding of the stages of growth and development. On the other hand, boys might fail to control themselves, leading to serious problems, such as rape, which is one of the major causes of teenage pregnancies. In the program, the logical model will have several sections, each with a specific role to play. The logical model will perhaps constitute inputs, outputs, short-term goals, medium-term goals, and long-term plans and objectives. Regarding the inputs, the project coordinators will ensure that qualified personnel is deployed to help both girls and boys in coping with the adolescent challenges that make them vulnerable to teenage pregnancies. For this to be successful, the local authorities will be contacted mainly to request funding. Additionally, the program will need relevant reading materials, such as books and journals to supplement the knowledge gained in class. On the side of outputs, the most susceptible groups would be identified before coming up with specialized strategies to help them get out of the problems. A curriculum will be designed for both boys and girls to enable them to understand the dynamics of the modern society as far as adolescence stage is concerned. Short-term goals include enhancing knowledge on teenage pregnancies and educating the vulnerable groups on the dangers of early pregnancies. When teenagers will be in a position to follow instructions on pregnancy prevention, the project will have attained its medium-term goals. Several pregnancy prevention strategies exist, but few girls are able to use them, forcing the majority to be mothers at a very tender age. The project will insist on abstinence, but other options will be availed as well because it might be a big challenge for any teenager to keep off from sexual behaviors. In this case, the use of family planning methods would be recommended. It will be clarified that not
The topic I would like to discuss is the impact of social media on children. This issue is critical to be developed because children are the future of society, and the subsequent development of humanity primarily depends on them. Thus, it is essential to ensure the stable development of children’s personalities in order to ensure the decent future generation. The growth of social media has completely changed human life. Social networking sites have become an integral part of the daily routine of adults and children. Even though new technologies empower progress in the information sphere, social media has negative impacts which should be addressed. It is vital to develop strategies to minimize these negative influences in order to empower the future progress of humanity. Reducing the negative impacts is especially important for children because they are in a personality development state. In the scope of the mentioned problem, there is one specific issue which I would like to explore in details. It can be formulated as follows: the fear of mission out syndrome and its psychological impact on children’s personality development. This dangerous syndrome has recently developed and, according to the statistics, has infiltrated the minds of millions of people all over the world (McGinnis, 2020). Fear of missing out syndrome is usually characterized by the feeling that people live a less fulfilling life than those around them (McGinnis, 2020). The stronger this feeling, the greater the desire to check other people’s profiles. This syndrome provokes dangerous unfavorable comparison, which affects the human mind leading to psychological distortions. It is incredibly hazardous for children who are being at the stage of shaping their personalities. Fear of missing out syndrome can provoke the establishment of envy and negative comparison emotion, which interfere with the normal psychological development of the mental strength causing moral weakness and lack of confidence. Thus, this problem is essential to be discussed by sociologists because the impact of social media cannot be eliminated completely. Through the research, scientists can design the methods how to minimize the adverse effects of this syndrome on children. From my perspective, the research on this topic requires various experiments, including both research methods: qualitative and quantitative. The combination of methodologies allows researchers to gain more detailed data about the investigated topic (Ferris & Stein, 2020). If I were able to conduct research on his specific issue, I would start qualitative research because it allows gaining in-depth insights into the subjects’ personalities. The prevalent method which will be helpful for the study is the interview or open-ended questions. Suc
Introduction “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is an intriguing story of a sick woman, Charlotte Perkins, confined in a room for treatment by her husband, a physician. Charlotte is suffering from neurasthenia. Cared by his overprotective physician husband, but instead treats the care and concern as unfair for confinement and a twenty-four hours bed rest prescription. Charlotte’s sickness makes her realize that nobody can listen to her ideas; she resorts to writing secretly in her daily journals as a way of expressing her compliments to somebody. On a few occasions is she allowed visiting other people. Those she visits are her husband’s suggestion, who are generally usual close family relatives, those she suggests her husband turns them down. There is an apparent misunderstanding of care, love, and concern between the patient and the physician. The Yellow Wallpaper: Themes The fact that the patient is the physician’s wife ought to portray a picture of mutual agreements and understandings rather than subjecting one’s decision to the other with a reason for care and protection. A small inclination to the husband’s decisions is better, but a usual put off to charlotte’s ideas causes misunderstanding. However, she pursues the wallpaper, finding to get a clear clue of what is affecting them all, especially her husband, the sister in law. With the nervous breakdown, all the ideas and suggestions that charlotte comes up with, with a view of a positive response, are against his husband’s final decision “…. there is something strange about the house — I can feel it. I even said so to John one… but he said what I felt was a draught, and …” (Gilman, 2001, p.2). The husband is thinking out of prejudice, which is the real cause of misunderstandings in the context. Although the misunderstandings brought about by the idea that she might be suffering from brain disorders, it does not mean that she is wrong all the time. She comments that even the reader succumbs to when she says, “I disagree with their ideas. I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good” (Gilman, 2001, p.1). With such a sickness, one can show care by undertaking suitable work with the patient, but the husbands see it as very wrong. The physician portrayed with a domineering character has shown negligence in her wife’s psychological support. That is from the misinformation of how sick Charlotte is. She believes that she is not very ill. Yet, her husband knows she is in a critical condition that does not allow her to think or give compliments “… but John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad” (Gilman, 2001, p.1). The misunderstanding is portrayed again when Charlotte is awake all night long. Her husband does not talk to her most of the ti
The High Renaissance is often referred to as the dawn of the epoch of the modern art. Those were great times of changes in the world of art and in the minds of people. The three geniuses of the Renaissance, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Rafael, were the cornerstones of the new era, the era when the boundaries between the art and life began to vanish. The film The High Renaissance portrays the major peculiarities of that remarkable period focusing on the most important works of the masters of the High Renaissance. The film starts with the impact of Rafael on the development of art. It is stressed that Rafael was among the first artists to create such lively images in motion, using such bold and bright colors, light and shade. Then Leonardo’s works are depicted. His precision and attention to any detail are pointed out. It is also stated that Leonardo’s affection to science enabled him to develop new forms in painting. Michelangelo’s genius is justified by his magnificent sculptures which were revolutionary works of marble. The film also reveals the art of such prominent Venetian artists as Titian, Tintoretto and Palladio. It is underlined that the artists revealed the peculiarities of the contemporary society. The works revealed the principles of humanism and people’s progress. Sayre also claims that the period of High Renaissance was marked by increased naturalism, Humanism and growing affection to Greek philosophy (Sayre 418). Remarkably, any painting or drawing of Leonardo is very naturalistic because he was not only an artist but a talented scientist. For instance, his Battle of Anghiari is astonishingly naturalistic (Pic. 1). Michelangelo’s works are also very naturalistic. For instance, his David seems to be a living young man due to exclusive precision of the artist. Of course, only the development of science could be the appropriate background for such divine works of art. Pic. 1. Battle of Anghiari The art of the twentieth century also revealed the changes in the contemporary society and responded to emerging scientific and philosophical thoughts and trends (Sayre 461). One of the great examples of the symbiosis of art and science is June Wayne’s lithography. This remarkable woman was the one to bring to life almost forgotten technique of lithography. Moreover, the lithography obtained a new life due to the affluent energy of the artist. She promulgated quite revolutionary thesis since it was inacceptable to mix the work of a printer and an artist for centuries. Some critics even try to compare Wayne’s works to a craftsman’s works. However, Wayne is the artist which proves that art is an indispensible part of life which is in every sphere of humans’ life. She can be compared with the three giants of the High Renaissance since her precision, the use of scientific knowledge and attention to details enables her to create unique works which really extend the boundaries of art. For example, her Fable Series (Pic.2) reveal her absolutely magnificent technique. Moreover, Wayne can be compared to Rafael since she also creates new forms new medium to express her artistic vision of reality. It goes without saying that
Introduction William Shakespeare, one of the celebrated English writers globally, left a legacy denoted by his great poetic, playwriting, and acting works. Notably, Shakespeare’s Sonnets, an assortment of 154 poems, considered as sonnets that address various themes emerging from personal and interpersonal relationships. Evidently, Shakespeare uses the initial 128 sonnets to cover issues affecting a particular young man while the remaining 28 focus on a woman (Leishman 34). Rooted in the stylistic approach embraced by the Petrarchan love poems, Shakespeare’s sonnets unmask the themes of time, love, gender roles, politics, sexual desire, sexuality, and pornography (Schiffer 27). Specifically, the theme of sexuality manifests in various sonnets, thus welcoming an analysis to understand Shakespeare’s choice of addressing the issue. Interestingly, various scholars have raised concerns about the sexuality of the great writer, as some consider the probability of him being gay. The allegations arise from the biased coverage of his sonnets, where a majority of them address men. Additionally, the poet’s description of beauty, satirical approach to love, and the construction of gender roles reveal his interest in the issue of sexuality. Therefore, this paper purposes of analyzing the theme of sexuality in Shakespeare’s Sonnets. The Theme of Sexuality In the Shakespeare Sonnets, several poems depict the aspect of human sexuality that implies a person’s sexual orientation. Particularly, in addressing love and gender roles, the poet unearths the various sexual preferences he associates with the man or boy in question. In this regard, the heterosexual and homosexual preferences or desires of the characters in question would provide a suitable approach for analyzing the theme of sexuality in Shakespeare’s great works. Heterosexuality The aspect
Introduction China remains one of the leading manufacturers of flat screen televisions in the world. The great China region is estimated to be supplying close to half of the flat screen televisions produced worldwide. The three main manufacturing hubs in this region include mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. These three regions combined manufactured around forty million flat screen television in the year 2010. The world’s demand for flat screen televisions has been fuelled by increasing rates of urbanization. Higher GDP growth rates have also meant that consumers living in developing economies can be able to purchase flat screen televisions (Park 2006). Globally, the flat screen television industry has had mixed fortunes. The global trends vary depending on different factors. While second and third rate economies are recording an increase in sales, the market in first rate economies has stagnated considerably. Therefore, leading flat screen television manufacturers have had to jostle for the larger market share in developing economies. In china, the flat screen television industry has been one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy over the last decade. The specifics of this industry are explored in this report. The report covers past, current, and future performances of this industry. The report also covers all other factors that are relevant to the Chinese flat screen television industry. Market Overview The global flat screen market has improved by about three percent in the last four years. When it comes to the market share, developing countries account for seventy five percent of the global market. Because most developing countries have not yet ventured into manufacturing of flat screen televisions, they have had to rely on exports. The Chinese market is buoyed by the fact that its domestic and import markets have grown uniformly. This has made the Chinese market very robust. As of 2010, the Chinese domestic market accounted for seventy four percent of flat screen televisions manufactured in China. The value of these sales stood at ninety five percent. Improved GDP growth in China has increased the purchasing power of most consumers (National Development and Reform Commission 2011). Moreover, frequent advertising has increased awareness of the flat screen television technology therefore aggravating the switch from the older technology to the new one. All these factors are responsible for the solid market share enjoyed by the Chinese manufacturers in their region. After recording constant growth over the last five years, the Chinese flat screen market slowed down for the first time last year. This is according to a study carried out by China’s Video Industry association. Last year the sales of these televisions hit thirty nine million. This was an annual increase of less than ten percent. Over the previous five years the industry has always grown by more than ten percent. This year, the industry is also expected to grow by eight percent (Hao-ting 2012). Industry experts have predicted that this development is as a result of the Chinese market reaching its maturity stage.
Background Allen Hall Food Court generated its revenue from the sale of food and beverages. The food court had classic meal plans that could be paid for using credit cards. The revenue generated by the enterprise was used to facilitate the operations of the food court. For example, the costs of the cafeteria’s supplies, equipment and other expenses were met by the generated revenue. The payroll and overtime were also met by the proceeds from sales. The food court had one opening that was used as the entrance and exit for staff and clients. The hall was closely packed with chairs and tables. This audit inspected the operation procedures of the cafe to ascertain its effectiveness during service delivery to its clients. Objective This audit aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the café’s operations. It also aimed at providing recommendations to improve the operations of the food outlet. Scope The report covered the period from 12/01/2015 to 12/03/2015. Thirty three clients filled in questionnaires after which their responses were tallied. The questions ranged from food quality, cleanliness, the safety of the court, the efficiency of service delivery to overall satisfaction. The clients filled the questionnaires willingly during the period of data collection. The clarity of prices was also included in the questionnaires to determine whether the clients could find prices of all meals with ease. The Hanger report revealed some of the flaws within the court that needed to be rectified. The compilation of the report encompassed the input of 33 auditors who helped in providing unbiased conclusions. Conclusion The efficiency of the entire process of service delivery was rated as average because the clients reported that the outlet served food within two minutes. However, this time should be reduced to a minute or less because consumers were time conscious and did not wish to waste their time waiting. The cleanliness of the floors needed a turnaround whereas the arrangement needed to be reorganized. The conditions of the cleaning equipment and cloths needed improvement to ensure the hygiene of the court met the required standards. Meeting all the requirements as needed by the law was important for the success of the business as well as client satisfaction. Observation 1: Cleanliness The management and personnel checks according to the State of Ohio Standard Inspection Report Authority Chapters 3717 and 35715 indicated various violations. The first violation was 3717-1-03.4 Food: Limitation of Growth of Organisms of Public Health Concern that held the firm responsible for poor handling of food at various temperatures that compromised the safety of the food. For example, the presence of white cheese stored at 44 o F was tangible evidence for the violation. The right handling temperatures for cold and hot foods were stipulated as 41 o F and 135 o F respectively to restrict the growth of bacteria and possible food contamination. The food court violated section 3717-1-03.2 Food: Protection from Contamination after Receiving. Food received should remain clean and fit for human consumption. The handling of food after receipt determined the
Executive Summary Carter Capital Management is a small business operating in the fund’s management sector. Its main investment is in pension funds and hence requires better marketing strategies to increase its customers. Currently, the company’s main advertisement channel is a small corporate website that illustrates its operations, contact details, and some information on investment opportunities. With its head office in Brisbane, the company must improve its advertisement strategies by exploiting opportunities in social media and other emerging technologies. The best social media platform that can be used to enhance marketing is Google+. Despite being the third-rated social media platform, Google+ has a user-friendly application, and has the potential of expansion and diversification as compared to Facebook and Twitter. The following report will evaluate Google+ features, plans, and options, which can be implemented by the company to increase returns. Advertising Options in Google+ According to Brogan (2012), Google+ is becoming one of the fastest-growing social networks in the world, with its features being expanded regularly to fit customers’ demands. Google+ has developed various user-friendly features, which allow businesses to get found across the leading search engine, get face-to-face interactions with their customers, and make the social network accountable for their business success. One of the special features offered by Google+ includes Google+ Ads, which enhance business popularity across the social network. Also, the social network has Google+ badges that drive traffic from a company’s Google+ page, hence increasing the business’ popularity. Google+ also offers businesses share and +1 buttons, which allow followers and potential customers to popularise organizational brands and to share the brands amongst friends and other followers by creating circles. The Google+ applications available for business marketing are referred to as Google+ social annotations. They include Google+ share buttons, +1, Google Ads, and Google badges. However, the major feature in Google+ is Google Ads, which is designed purposely to promote business development, popularity, and advertise organizational brands. One of the advantages of Google+ Ads is the link already established with all other Google search platforms including Google maps. The working process of Google+ annotations involves connecting the business across all AdWords selected by the company on Google and other search partners. The annotations are compatible with other ad tools, hence making it easier for use by any business in the social network. Once a company decides to advertise its product using Google+ Ads, the social network offers the user an opportunity to select the annotations, which seem appropriate depending on whether the business is service or product-oriented (Brogan, 2012). This means that different companies can be using Google+ Ads
Cleaning agents such as detergents, antiseptics and disinfectants serve the important purpose of ensuring and maintaining cleanliness in most households. The use of these agents, expose households to pollution. Pollution is mainly in the form of water and air pollution. Cleaning and disinfecting properties of these agents arise from the chemical ingredients that are used to formulate them. These ingredients pose as potential household pollutants. Most cleaning agents contain chemical ingredients such as phenols, hydrofluoric acid, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), propane and butane. When these cleaning agents are used, they come into contact with the skin, water and the air. This contact allows for contamination and consequently pollution. For example, when cleaning agents containing VOCs are used, the VOCs readily evaporate and mix the air, dissolve in water or react with the skin. Contact of the mucous layer with contaminated air causes immediate health effects such as nasal and eye irritation. The chemicals also readily dissolve in foods and water causing adverse health effects such as loss of appetite and cancer. Therefore, they can also cause water and food pollution. The following is a summary of some of the health effects caused by the chemical ingredients. PCBs induce carcinoma, hepatic adenoma, eye discharge, expectoration, immunosuppression, liver and lung cancer. Propane, butane and phenols are carcinogenic and also contribute
