A dress code is a very important thing in company management. If a company doesn’t have strict rules of clothes that staff is to wear, then it will become a circus and it won’t make the impact of a trusted organization. But creating dress-code rules might be a little bit tricky without a special guide. First of all, it should be clear why dress code is so necessary. As no company can exist without interaction with other people, its image plays a great role. Many people won’t make business with staff members sloppily or in some casual clothes with different prints, etc. Another point is that dress-code will protect you from untidy employees who don’t maintain proper hygiene. And the third reason for implementing a dress code is that it will be one step ahead to protect staff from such problems as envy and rumors, as similar clothes don’t imply that there will be some reasons for them. So, what should employees wear? “Above all, the employees need to be neat. The dress may be casual or more formal business attire, but this is something that will vary greatly from setting to the setting”(Baldrige, 1993, p.572). Before creating a dress-code list of banned clothes, each should be thought over whether to be banned or not. But there are some common things which are inappropriate for wearing in the office. These are various hats, sweat pants, sweatsuits, tank tops, halter tops, or muscle shirts, clothing with dirty language or obscene images, and torn clothing. Staff should be dressed according to the aim they serve. It would be funny if you come to a fast-food restaurant, and you will be served by a person dressed in business attire. But some things oughtn’t to be banned. They are hijabs (as it may offense religious feelings) and facial hair or special headwear (as it also may violate religious beliefs). To make sure that every employee is aware of intentions to implement dress code, staff should be informed orally and the dress-code list should be hanged on the noticeable place in the office. It “will save countless headaches from challenges and interpretations of the dress code if it is very specific on potential problem issues” (Carton, 1990, p.841). It can happen that some members of staff will object to the new rules. Therefore it should be explained that dress policy doesn’t make them change their wardrobe completely, but it is implemented to keep order in the office. If a new member of personnel is employed, he must be informed about the dress policy. It will help to avoid some conflicts on this ground in the future. To achieve a more positive experience when creating a dress policy, it will be essential to ask employ
Introduction Migration of people has steadily increased throughout the human history with research indicating significant variations in different parts of the world. It is a concept that has drawn debatable opinions and ideas across the board in explaining the causes and effects of this phenomenon which has become a global concern. Naturally, any shift in population size usually carries both economic and social factors to the countries involved. This analysis explores the concept of international migration with emphasis on the role of economic factors in shaping migration trends and in redefining major effects and causes of international migration. It gives a broader scope of the issue, encompassing a myriad approach that seeks to integrate major economic views that explain international migration. Migration Generally, migration refers to the movement of people from one place to another. This may include cross-border movement (international migration) or movement within ones country (in-migration). As it shall be seen later in this synthesis, people move from one place to another because of various reasons some of which may be classified as voluntary or involuntary. There are countries like Jamaica, India, and Turkey etc, which encourage their citizens to migrate in order to look for better employment in attractive countries that could be suffering from labor shortage (Russell, 1995). Nevertheless, this deprives such nations the chance to utilize their native human resources in nation building (Massey, et al., 199
Introduction Frederick Douglass was born a slave and spent his life fighting for the abolition of slavery and attainment of equal rights for African Americans. His quest for justice and equality for all people made him famous. He is a historic person and his struggle to have slavery abolished continues to inspire many people today. This paper examines the Frederick Douglass Historic Site located in 1411 W Street SE, Washington, DC. The home of Frederick Douglass is located in this site. The relevance and historical significance of this site is discussed. The Frederick Douglass Historic Site It is at this site that the home of Frederick Douglass is preserved. The site is protected by Public Law and is meant to commemorate the life of Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass has been described as “a great abolitionist, civil rights advocate, author and statesman” (National Park Service 1). He was greatly committed to ensuring that there justice in the treatment of all people. During his time, he was described as “the most important negro of the nineteenth century” (Hinds iii). This site helps to celebrate his contribution to the US civilization. The home preserved in this site was Douglass’s second home. He purchased it in 1877 and made it his official residence up to the time of his passing away in 1895. The house was built by John Van Hook between 1855 and 1859. It had 14 rooms. After purchasing the house, Douglass made some additions to it. By the time he passed away, he had increased the number of rooms in the house to 21. Among the many changes he made in the house were the conversion of “the original kitchen into a dining room and construction of a new kitchen in the south wing” (National Park Service 1). He converted two rooms which were upstairs on the west wing into three small bedrooms. He also completed the attic creating five more rooms and added a library to the house (National Park Service 1). A number of restorations have been carried out on Douglass’ home. The first restoration was undertaken by Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association (FDMHA) in 1922 – this was 19 years after the death of Douglass’ second wife. In 1962, the custody of Douglass’ home was transferred to the National Park Service from FDMHA. The second restoration was carried out by the National Park Service between 1962 and 1972. The house was reopened to the public in 1972. The construction of a visitor center at the site was started in 1980 and completed in 1982. The third and last restoration so far was undertaken between 2004 and 2007 (National Park Service 1). Taking into consideration the knowledge that Douglass displayed, his library is often treated as a special place. The library is lit by three windows which are large enough to allow enough natural light in. The library is filled with many books on various topics. There is an iron stove in the library which Douglass used to warm himself up with in the library during the winter seasons. Since it is not possible to closely examine the texts in this l
Introduction During the Great Depression, many families were striving to meet their basic needs, which drove people into different ways of facilitating supplies and upholding their status in society. At this time, most civilians blamed the government for the challenges they were experiencing and considered the banks to be oppressive 1 . People needed hope and support to survive these challenges. While some people worked to improve their status, Bonnie Parker, Clyde Barrow, Alphonse Capone, John Dellinger, and John Ashley rose as criminals during these times to suit society’s expectations, hence promoting their popularity. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow People loved the two for their autonomy in taking care of themselves since they were born in low-income families. Bonnie and Clyde were taken as robin hood figures despite their actions during the time 2 . The tough economic times drove everyone to seek sustenance to avoid starvation and losing homes, and the preexisting economic challenges caused their efforts. The national and local governments did not offer practical solutions to deal with the challenges citizens were facing. Thus, they opted to take action on their own hands. Their actions were considered to be combating the oppression from banks by undertaking bank robbery. They would send what they got to their families, and their families would support them in situations of trouble. People viewed Bonnie and Clyde as a revolutionaries. The couple was also famous due to the Americans due to Bonnie’s gender. It was not common to have a woman tied to a crime spree and involved in a national-wide search in the US. She became a focal point for most by showing that females had power too. People made portraits of her holding a gun and smoking to show she was considered unique. More people followed their stories, making them well-known. Alphonse Gabriel Capone Capone was dear to the American people due to his generosity. He was also gregarious, which made people award him public sympathy. People, to an extent, considered him a robin hood figure or a man of decent who would work alongside the people during the times. He consecutively used the press through his soup kitchen to gain sympathy 3 . However, people’s love for Capone began deteriorating during exposure to brutal violence, tax evasion, and murder to the public. The Impact of the Great Depression on their Persona Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow In the 1930’s most people in America were feeling the impact of the Great Depression due to the crashed economy. The crime was high all over the nation since each family was working to evade starvation or losing their homes. Clyde, born in a family of seven and grown up in poverty, had moved out of Dallas with his family, and they could not afford a tent. On the other hand, the government did not offer practical ways of handling the crashing economy, which made it worth it for their actions to take care of themselves through illegal means. When Bonnie and Clyde had money, they would send it back to their families. The great depression pushed them to seek a means of survival. Alphonse Capone During the great depression, most
The underlying reasons for homelessness emanate from numerous social and economic sources such as poverty caused by unemployment or poor paying jobs, a deficit of affordable housing, and the lack of services for those who suffer from domestic violence, mental illness, and substance abuse. It is these and other factors that contribute to homelessness, a condition that is seldom a choice for people who must live outside the comfort and security of a home environment. This discussion will examine the homelessness issue including why and what type of people become homeless. It will also review agencies and programs offering assistance to individuals and families living on the street. Thanks to recent public awareness campaigns by private and government agencies such as the National Coalition for the Homeless and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development respectively, long-standing societal stereotypes of the homeless are gradually evaporating. Images of creatively clothed white-bearded old men leaning against an alley wall clutching a bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag have morphed into a family living in their car or a single mother and her children living in a shelter. The estimated half a million children that, at any one time, is homeless in America and their mothers represent the “fastest growing segment of the homeless population” (“Face” 2007). According to current research conducted on homeless shelters, single males comprise forty-five percent and single females fifteen percent of the estimated two million homeless in America. Forty percent of the homeless population is comprised of families and a third of them are single parents with children (“Face” 2007). It is a misconception that most homeless persons prefer that horrific lifestyle after having adjusted to it. Studies show that ninety-four percent of those without a home certainly would not choose to live this way another day if they had an alternative. Another common fallacy regarding the homeless is that they made poor decisions thus are culpable for their fate. In addition to the large percentage of children that are homeless, many others are victims of their circumstances as well. Some veterans suffer from mental and physical disabilities resulting from combat and cannot maintain a ‘normal’ existence. Others were abused as children or raised in homelessness. Still, others fell victims to the addiction of drugs and alcohol which decimated their working and family life. Some have become ‘unemployable for various reasons or can find only men
The major of the book The characterization of women in customary Muslim society has been guided by many books which specifically address their strengths and weaknesses. One of these books is called Perfecting Women, written by Maulana Asharaf. The book has its focus on women in societal Muslim, how they are treated and various attitudes towards them. Women in the Muslim world are supposed to be guided by certain virtues according to the Holy book. This work examines the behavior, weaknesses and strengths of Muslim Women in the 20 th century. There is strong criticism against women’s behaviors in some particular customs. In fact, when reading the book initially it seems that women are suppressed by numerous traditions and rules. It becomes clear that a number of rules which are imposed by Asharaf do not aim at suppressing women. Still, the same book and the rules mentioned do not make women free and independent to develop their knowledge and skills which may be used to gain necessary respect and recognition in society. It is necessary to point out that the role of virtuous woman in society is very high since women are responsible for the household and children rearing. Moreover, the book stresses the essential role of education which women should obtain and encourage their children to become educated as well. Thus, it is crucially important to remember that it is a woman who stimulates the development of society; and the main theme of the book under consideration is to portray the oppressed women and reveal the honorable status of women and hew essential role in the society chosen. Oppression in the book. There are several instances in the text which evoke thoughts about oppression to the women. By all means, the First Book is the most affluent in passages which may be regarded as evidence of oppression. In this part Ashraf provides a very interesting task for improving one’s reading which is a kind of a code of laws which women should obey. Some of these rules may seem too strict or oppressive. For instance, the rule “to consider beating” from parents “to be an honor” at first sight suggests an image of a resigned woman who can be punished and has no right even to defend herself or even run from beating (Ashraf, 53). Other rules are even more striking since they assign what hands to use while eating or drinking, how many gulps to make while drinking, etc (Ashraf, 5). The existence of such strict prescriptions makes the reader feel the oppression women seemingly experience. Other instances are especially associated with customary religious practices. However, it is necessary to point out that the most of these practices is regarded as sinful by Ashraf. For instance, ostentation is done when the barber’s wife displays the outfit as part of the wedding ceremony (Ashraf, 119). Maulana goes ahead to acknowledge this as a fine assembly of sins. This is because in the whole practice t
The Virginia Plan had proposed a bicameral legislative plan to favor states with high human population and disfavor the states in the United State with small population. Each states number of representatives in the two chamber were determined by percentages of the state’s contribution, the national contribution and population size quotas, to the national development (Madison Debate 13; Madison Debate 15). The states with high population supported the Virginia plan. However, the states with low population, which feared losing the self-governance powers, opposed it. Instead, they embraced the New Jersey plan. The New Jersey plan was single chambered. Every state had a single vote regardless of its size as stipulated under Article of Confederation (Madison Debate 13; Madison Debate 15). Virginia Plan Branches The Virginia plan had three legislative branches, which include legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislature was more powerful than others as it was authorized to elect the executive and judicial sections (Madison Debate 13). Legislatures Two parliamentary houses characterized the Virginia plan of the legislature where citizens elected the members of the House of Representatives while the legislature elected the Senate (Madison Debate 13). Supplementary Supremacies The Virginia plan allowed United State the powers to regulate any trade happening between the states, abolish unconstitutional laws, and authorize armed forces to put into effect any law (Madison Debate 13). New Jersey Branches The New Jersey plan had three legislature branches, which consists of legislative, executive, and the judicial. The legislature appointed members working in the executive branch. The executive branch elected those working as justices in the Supreme Court (Madison Debate 15). Legislature The New Jersey plan of legislature was unicameral. Representation of single states was equal to ensure no state was exercising higher power than other states in the United State (Madison Debate 15). Supplementary Supremacies The New Jersey plan required the United State to approve the national legislature to authorize laws powerful than the laws of any state in the United State and impose levies, import duties, and control inter-states trade. My Opinion The New Jersey plan allowed more power to the new federal government. The New Jersey plan of the United State government disallowed the state with high population to acquire higher powers than the states with poor population. Besides, it opposed employment of the two parliamentary chambers. This enhanced meaningful political reforms. By this plan, there occurs reduction in incidents negatively affecting the state when making those political transformations. Furthermore, the New Jersey plan ensured the power between individual states was equal. It was a copy of the current state of the powers in the United Nations in emphasizing the fact that individual states were independent state
The Shack is a Christian book that responds to the most contentious issues surrounding Christianity. The author William Young gives answers on why people are suffering, yet God is omnipresent. The author explains the experience of a person who used his time during the weekend with the Trinity. The story revolves around the misfortunes of Mack Philips whose daughter is murdered. Although her body is never discovered, police rely on proof that the killer left on the crime scene. In the story of the Shack, God appears in a human being form such that Mack meets with Him. Mack gets the chance to meet with God for him to express his sadness. The book provides a clear and exceptional relationship of the three forms of the Trinity, which Mack converses with during his divine encounter. Mack involves himself in lengthy discussions with every member of the Trinity over the week and finally understands God in a better way. The author describes God in three theological perceptions, namely revelation, salvation, and the Trinity. The revelation aspect attempts to underscore how God has decided to disclose himself to humankind. The varying ways in which God chooses to talk to humanity is the same way as religious teachings but in a different way. Christians are popularly known as ‘a nation of the book’ – a majority who stick to the Scripture as an open force of God. As a distinctive reward from God, the Bible highlights God’s love for humankind. Many Christians hold a strong faith that the Bible is the solitary foundation of God to people. Not only does it teach deliverance from sin, but the bible also teaches Christians the standards by which to conduct themselves. As the writer notes in the book, it is essential for people to expect God to disclose Himself in unmediated ways. Going through the scriptures, there is no place for importance or exclusivity (Young 20) The book reiterates that the cross is widely mentioned in the Bible, which compels Christians to be faithful to it. Anyone without a proper understanding of the teachings of the Bible and the Christian conviction may fail to understand the cross together with what the death of Jesus meant to Christians. According to the Bible, the cross is essential to Christian belief. Jesus shouldered humankind’s sins and paid them on the cross. Faith is a crucial concept for Christians as they gracefully accept all the positive things that Jesus achieved as He underwent the painful treatment on the cross (Young 45). The trinity doctrine is part of the complex that one has to unravel to understand the several beliefs that exist in Christianity. For an extended period, Christians have concealed the knowledge of their doctrine, as there is a lot that can be learned. As definitions may differ, the majority of Christians believe that the best description of God covers three persons. Trinity is a powerful idea in which Young tries to bring out in the quest to understand the factual life of God the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Father. The book’s
Cloud Computing Cloud computing is widely used in various spheres including education. Although it is associated with certain issues and concerns, educators are eager to use this technological advance in their practice. At my educational establishment, teachers utilize cloud computing to develop lessons and assessment plans, as well as numerous activities for their classes. Virtual space enables my colleagues to access limitless resources and share their ideas with peers concerning a wide range of topics. Educational facilities benefit from the use of this technological advance as there is no need for the acquisition of costly hardware and software. As far as the data security issues mentioned in the post are concerned, there are quite apparent risks, but they can be mitigated if the necessary cautions are exercised. Technology Leadership According to Thannimali and Raman (2018), technology leadership is instrumental in the development of a learning culture and digital citizenship that have a positive effect on teaching practice. It is clear that many educational facilities are trying to make use of the latest technology, and principals are often the driving force of such changes. At our school, the principal plays an important role in the establishment of a learning culture. He encourages the faculty to incorporate technology into their practice, and his efforts are rather successful. Since the administration provides resources and information concerning digital products, my colleagues start using technology and improve the quality of the educational services they provide. Nevertheless, quite many people are still resistant to the changes, and they try to adhere to traditional approaches. They are reluctant to learn and use new methods the digital world offers. Therefore, our principal has to use more effective leadership to ensure all people’s adoption of the digital-age learning culture. Reference Thannimali, R., & Raman, A. (2018).
