Introduction While serving different purposes, business and military strategies are similar. Both of them are tools designed for achieving advantages and winning the competition. Military strategy is used for direct defeating the enemy, while the business aims to produce more and better goods and earn more money for them. In general, military strategies may enrich the business ones, providing solid tools for winning the competition in case of their proper realization. Military Strategy and Business Strategy Comparison Marketing and business strategies share many similarities with warfare and military theory. Like in the military strategy, marketing aims to spread the influence of the business and conquer new “territories” to sell its products. However, types of competition are different in both cases: during the war, one should destroy their enemies and conquer the territory or some particular object (Luggin & Fink, 2020). To start a successful business, one should conquer people not by destroying them but by attracting them and selling goods and services to them (Palmatier & Crecelius, 2019). At the same time, other players in the market compete over the customers’ limited resources (Simeone, 2020). The situation looks similar to the war scene: markets can be seen as battlegrounds, companies as fighting armies, and their profitability as armies’ power. Companies design and execute strategies, form alliances, and overthrow competitors, just as armies of rival states. Netflix, for example, has succeeded in the field of media by reaching strong competitive advantages, proposing to customers a subscription-based platform for film and video watching (Fawzia & Wardhani, 2020). The company’s business strategy was new and unique, and it proved to be more effective in attracting customers than competitors’ ones. Like armies at war, working businesses should have good suppliers that will provide them with goods: from office supplies to raw materials for production. While troops need weapons and various warfare technologies, businesses need a more diverse range of goods and technologies to make themselves more effective and profitable (Aćimović et al., 2021). CEOs of companies work similarly to army generals; however, there are also differences, for example, in the level of centralization. Companies’ governance may be more or less centralized, while military leadership is always authoritative and strictly hierarchical. Examples of Battles The Battle of Borodino To see how war decisions lead to losses or facilitate victories, it is better to see some historical examples of battles. The first one is an example of a battle where the victory gets a minimal competitive advantage and, thus, takes no profit. The Battle of Borodino took place in 1812 near Moscow, on the territory of the Russian Empire, between Russian troops and French invaders ( Battle of Borodino | European History , 2021
Introduction The health care industry has to adjust and modify its requirements, corporate environment, and employees’ attitudes towards their work constantly as it always faces fresh and significant challenges in its conditions. In this regard, nurses need to be acutely conscious of their inner essence and outer preferences, especially when it comes to the responsibility of treating patients or cooperating with clients. Therefore, this paper aims at discussing the critical areas of focus, namely, professional presence, personality preferences, mindfulness practice, and healing environments, by analyzing my internal and external worlds and creating my professional presence plan. Professional Presence Discussion of the Differences between Two Models The central difference between physical-body and body-mind-spirit models is that the former are concentrated on treating only the body, while the latter emphasizes the importance of interventions in mind and spirit as well (“Body/mind/spirit,” n.d.). For example, the physical-body approach prescribes only particular drugs and, in some cases, physical exercises. At the same time, the second can also comprise such practices as meditation and pray, indicating that they facilitate relieving stress, which relaxes the nervous system and reduces the adverse influence of stress hormones, including dexamethasone. Differences between the Physical-Body Model and my Professional Presence Primarily, the physical-body approach differs from my professional presence in that this model focuses entirely on the functionality of the natural part of an individual’s entity. However, in my firm conviction, medicine should take into account all three components of the individual’s well-being, namely, body, mind, and spirit. In addition, adepts of the physical-body model are mostly inclined to severely criticize and, sometimes, condemn alternative medicine, despite that this treatment shows practical and useful results without significant physical interventions. My Professional Presence in my Nursing Practice My professional presence is considerably contributing to my everyday nursing practice by promoting my relationship with clients and helping me meet their expectations and demands. I fully recognize that, in critical situations, patients and their families need diligent attention and attendance since they are most vulnerable during challenging times. Besides, self-awareness aids me in controlling my negative feelings and thoughts during adverse conditions and responds to them adequately, prompting me that poise is required in any situation. Figure 1. My Professional Presence in my Nursing Practice Personality Preferences My Preferences and Relationships, Favorite Activities, and Career Choices After taking the Jung personality test, I have revealed that I am an INTJ that stands for Introverted-Intuitive-Thinking-Judging. First, the te
Sports bars in the US have become a lucrative business. Even in the recessionary phase sport bars like Buffalo Wing (Walkup, 2008) or Greene Turtle (Licata, 2009) has been on the rise. Therefore, a sports bar franchisee at such time is a lucrative business proposition. I intend to open a sports bar franchise in Georgia. Even though there are number of sports bars in Georgia, there are multiple avenues for the franchise to succeed. The sales in restaurant industry are expected to rise 2.5% percent and the estimated sales in 2009 in the restaurant industry in Georgia are expected to be $14.2 billion (National Restaurant Association, 2009). According to the National Restaurant Association restaurant pewrformance index in April 2009 was the highest in last 11 months. Therefore a restaurant franchise is a lucrative option even in the present the economic slowdown in the US. The goal of the business is to provide customers to have fun while watching sports with the crowd as well as enjoy their meals. The sports bar will have separate televisions for different sporting events. However, with increasing competition in the sports bar business, it is very important to curve a competitive edge and provide additional value to customers in order to have sustainable competitiveness (Wolson, 2001). Thus, it is important to provide more than just a number of giant television screens in a sports bar. Therefore, our sports bar will provide a bar, restaurant, shopping arcade, multimedia games, and other facilities. The offerings of the bar will include everything that a conventional restaurant offers along with being a great place for sports enthusiasts. The offerings will include the following listed below:  1. Giant television screens for the sports fans that can enjoy their meal as well as enjoy the game. This is a basic offering in all sports bars. Apart from the giant screens, the restaurants will have flat screens in every booth. Therefore, all seats will be the best seat in the house.  2. The menu that we will serve will consists of conventional American grill food as well special kids menu, and more. The dining hours will include breakfast, lunch, lounge, dining, and late-night dining.  3. For those who enjoy a warm and happy place to dine, but is not a sports enthusiast we will provide additional offerings like pool tables, video games parlor for children, and lounge and disco fro music enthusiast. Thus, it will create an inviting neighborhood appeal. Given these primary specifications, I researched on various sports bars, which has attained national acclaim. There are 10,000 sports bars in the US
Introduction The development of technology and, more specifically, the rise of social media explains why policymakers are becoming concerned about the impact of online platforms on the population’s mental health. The multi-faceted nature of the interrelation between communication apps and one’s well-being does not allow for any generalizations, especially when individual characteristics come into play. Thus, for example, the researchers confirmed that women are more likely to get affected by unhealthy patterns of conversing with others on the Internet than men, and they develop a number of alarming conditions (Ducharme, 2019; McLean Hospital, 2021). However, it is still unclear why this population group is vulnerable to the dangers of social media and what measures should be taken in order to prevent adverse outcomes. Considering these factors, the paper aims at investigating the influence of popular apps on female users and suggesting changes in this area to promote their mental health. The issues of this nature cannot be addressed while neglecting the particular tendencies attributed to this category of citizens, and the significance of self-image formed by online resources is the key to resolving the challenge. Description of the Issue The spread of apps facilitating communication on the Internet is directly linked to the conditions of the environment, which contributes to the creation of a space that can potentially benefit or harm individuals. As it was previously discussed in the case study analysis, the common beliefs about the advantages or disadvantages of societal practices rarely correlate with reality, thereby confusing (“Week 10 PPT,” n.d.). In turn, the misconstrued expectations of citizens lead to ignoring the emerging threats of interacting with peers in Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat related to one’s self-esteem and the overall appropriateness of promoted values (McLean, 2021; “Week 11 PPT, reading, video,” n.d.). Human behavior was confirmed to be connected to meeting people’s informational needs, but the risks are usually not taken into consideration (Kaplan & Kaplan, 2003). It means that the effects of social media on the population’s health are not viewed as equally important as their intentions to keep up-to-date with trends. For women, this neglect indicates the impossibility of maintaining their mental health due to a variety of reasons. First, they are more susceptible to cyberbullying compared to their male counterparts and, consequently, suffer more from social isolation, which is the outcome of this practice (Ducharme, 2019; “Week 10 PPT,” n.d.). Second, this category of citizens is more likely to compare themselves with others, whereas the representation of users in the apps is far from reality (McLean, 2021). Third, the neglect of
Discussion The present population of United States is around 300 million and among them, about 12 million people are unlawful immigrants from mostly the neighboring countries, Mexico and Canada. This signifies that one in 25 inhabitants is an unlawful foreigner. The idea of the Great Wall of America appears perfect and actually appears excellent for the citizens of United States. With the purpose of preventing any kind of border confrontations with illegal immigrants, the government should endorse significant implementations like the Great Wall of America just like what China did. America has been greatly affected by immigrants and has been radically shaped by every new group entering through its borders. However, this issue has been loose for years and some measures should be taken to create things reasonable and well-organized for all Americans. Currently, taxpayers are facing huge challenges while paying large sum of money each year to offer social services and medical care for these illegal immigrants. American borders have evident weaknesses and these have supported some drug traffickers and possible terrorists into United States. The idea of Great Wall of America is designed to reduce these problems which Americans are facing presently. Most immigrants are easily hired due to their cheap wages and Americans remain cursing themselves. They have started staying in horror of exposure and are highly experiencing exploitation from these illegal workers (Shilpi). If the Great Wall of America is constructed, it will be of great advantage to the people of America. The major benefits will be increase in employment opportunities and the American labor workers would get better chance to be hired. Every person attempting to pass through the Great Wall of America would have to pass through careful screening for nationality. President Obama said “The plan will immediately hire 20,000 citizens and provide them with basic wall building classes before the great wall begins. The 80,000 other jobs will be gradually added on as the projects proceed, and will include snipers, hunters, and an assortment of criminals to prevent even a single illegal from crossing our welcoming and democratic border” (Kaplan). Implementing the Great Wall of America cannot worsen the association between United States and Mexico since it seems that Mexico is not bothered about the relationship between both countries. This was seen when Mexico police officers pointed their armed guns to the FBI representatives when they were trying to investigate a deadly shooting in the America-Mexico border. Constructing this wall would not upset Mexicans since they already have the hatred towards United States due to the latest deaths of Mexicans in the border. Therefore, the solution to end all these disagreements and hatred in the border is to construct the Great Wall of America immediately. Since 1997, illegal immigrants have increased greatly and this shows that by 2025 the number of illegal immigrants would be around 40 million. Immigrants are more and more ready to use this opportunity to enter America and obtai
Introduction The Terri Schiavo case is one of the most high-profile US euthanasia cases. In 1990, Teresa’s heart stopped, and doctors recognized the case as hopeless: the girl’s vital functions were forever lost (Ullah & Adeeb, 2018). In 1998, her husband went to court – he demanded to let Terri die (Ullah & Adeeb, 2018). However, her parents were against it: they referred to the fact that Terri was a Catholic and euthanasia contradicted her faith. From that moment, a long series of court sessions began, during which two stakeholders fought: the woman’s parents and her husband. The bioethical issue in the Teresa Schiavo case is a question of euthanasia and the expediency of interrupting human life in some cases. Bioethical Analysis The long-term judicial resolution of the Terri Schiavo case was related to the bioethical problem of the humanity of euthanasia, which had many opponents and supporters. Theresa’s parents and even President George W. Bush regarded euthanasia as an immoral and unacceptable action due to the possibility of demoralization, mistakes, and abuse (Ullah & Adeeb, 2018). In addition to contradicting the Catholic faith, opponents of euthanasia raised the issue of artificially reducing the growing number of disabled people and changing the country’s demographic situation. At the same time, Teresa’s husband advocated for her euthanasia. He argued this with the conclusion of doctors who argued that significant physical and moral suffering could not be eliminated by known means, and the disease led to irreversible degradation of the individual. Conclusion The Congress of Doctors supported the decision to turn off the life support device since there was no chance of the patient’s withdrawal from the vegetative state. At the end of 2005, it was decided to use euthanasia since the hope for the existence of Terri as a person was lost (Ullah & Adeeb, 2018). Shortly after that, Josh Bush, who spoke out against euthanasia as governor of Texas, signed a law allowing hospitals to decide on their own whether to turn off a patient or not. Since the signing of the law, the final decision on the expediency of euthanasia in Texas has been made not by the court but by medical staff. Reference Ullah, I., & Adeeb, H. (2018).

Summary of the Article The article under consideration entitled “The Pack Rat among Us” is written by Laurie Schutza. Schutza dwells upon a very disputable issue, i.e. hoarding. The article starts with a description of an average hoarded house. The author does not only depict the house, but reveals her ideas and emotions when she is inside the house (305). Schutza then tries to understand why people become the so-called ‘pack rats’. The author assumes that things help people to cope with such problems as loneliness, fear, etc. The author argues that people are often attached to things as they do not have close relations with people. The author also claims that hoarding is a very extreme case, but she also notes that almost all people have certain traits assigned to pack rats. The author mentions people’s desire to use things as a kind of material memories. The author then tries to define the origins of people’s desire to hoard. Schutza notes that the origins of this trait can go back to pre-historic times when people had to accumulate things to survive as their future was really insecure (305). However, the author also claims that the instinct has become a kind of pathology as people now live in the world of ‘wants’ and not in the world of ‘needs’ (Schutza 306). The author states that people living in the throwaway world are simply driven to accumulate items which they do not even need. For instance, the author mentions such ‘drivers’ as shops, e-commerce, and even garage sales which make people become compulsive buyers and eventually hoarders. Thus, Schutza warns the reader that each individual can turn into a hoarder so it is necessary to remain reasonable. The author concludes that people are “just a few steps away from the inhabitants of the house on the hill” where the house is a metaphor which stands for hoarding (309). Intended Audience and Purpose for the Essay The intended audience the author addresses is, in fact, each individual living in the throwaway society. The author asks: “how far removed are we, the consumers, from this tendency to collect and save?” (Sch
In the earlier generation, people relied on flowers and their parent’s permission to show their love. However, in generation alpha, people have stopped valuing these as well as have turned into sending nudes to their partners as a symbol of love. Teens have become vulnerable to this culture because they are experiencing love for the first time. The current generation condemns password-protecting online directories of naked underage girls. This indicates that nudity has been normalized and glorified as a regular part of relationships in the current generation. In addition, friends have turned to the extent of sharing nudes sent to them by their partners. Therefore, in the present era, love is being measured by sending nudes. Unsurprisingly, pornography is getting a lot of attention on social media. Videos showing pornography scenes are the number one most watched videos on all social media platforms where they are posted. Almost all teens in the current generation consider pornography normal because it is not kept private due to its being readily available on social media. Additionally, it has caused mental health issues such that some individuals visit social media to watch pornography only. It should also be noted that most celebrities have entered the field of acting in pornography movies. This has attracted most teens to go on social media to watch movies with their favorite actors. Although the most vulnerable populations are teens, some adults have also joined the group that watches porn on social media. In general, having both adults and teens fans of pornography has contributed to attention directed to pornography on social media.
The development of a target market for the low-cost generic detergent would involve some steps before eventually getting into the market to sell the product. First of all, it is important to mention that the market has been identified to be Las Vegas Nevada. The new product will be sold throughout Las Vegas which is the market that has been identified by the company. This is because Las Vegas is the most populous city in the United States with a high potential for shopping. The population of this particular market of over 478,434 people has the required potential basing on its size, to consume the new detergents and enable the company to achieve its targets in terms of sales. This is because of the new fragrances that would be associated with the product. The company is in a better position to effectively market the new detergent in the target market. This can be looked at the resources the company has at its disposal. There are adequate human resources to develop the strategy and see its implementation and success in the market. The company has been producing this product for quite some time and addressing the needs of the consumers in the target market would therefore not be an issue. Market segmentation The development of this market would begin with segmentation. Segmentation of this market will be undertaken based on some factors. This will include age and annual income. The first segmentation of the market will comprise the high-income earners, the middle-income earners, and the low-income earners. The supply of the new detergents to the market would be greatly influenced by the segmentation in the market. Low-income earners have been targeted especially with low quantity packaging with very attractive prices. This would help to raise the sales volumes in such segments. The low-income earners have habits of buying in small packaged quantities and this would have to be addressed. Middle-income earners have the habit of buying both in large and small quantities. Therefore all the packaging would be undertaken to meet their demands. The high-income earner’s segment will be useful for bulk buying hence quantity would be kept in check to ensure adequate supplies. Age segmentation would also be instrumental in this market with the bracket between 16 and 40 and the other segment between 40 and 70 years.16-40 years will carry most of the detergents and thus their needs will have to be identified and addressed. The over 40 years segment is not associated much with the detergents and is therefore not expected to contribute much to the sales targets. Therefore focus will be much on the younger age group. In the first segmentation, the middle-income earners will remain attractive in the market because of their buying habits. They will be taking both large quantity packages and smaller quantities. This makes it the target segment in developing this market. In the second category, the younger age group between 16 to 40 years will also be attractive in marketing our products. In terms of positioning, the middle-income earners would be found in all the major grocery stores i
