Both Ashley’s and Chris’s organizations are in the education industry and as much as the functions of the operations departments in both schools are the same as they deal with the needs of the students’ e.g. enrollment, facilities, events and graduation they differ in the academics functions as we see the University of Phoenix academic department handling all degree programs and class schedules ( Dick, 2011, 1), as well as student grade issues which mainly entails building classes, arranging and assigning faculty classes and schedules, handling grade issues and payments for the faculty. Chris’s chart on the same organization shows that the same responsibilities are shared between the academics and finance department which establishes the payments plans for different students collects all payments and balances at the same time monitoring the students’ spending while on campus. Karen’s organizational functions differ in that the operations departments handles the company’s major operations which including purchasing of merchandise while the finance department Processes payrolls, leave request with the help of the human resources department which deals with insurance, payrolls, policies and training of the soldiers. The accounts departments then budget the funds of the organization, keeps track of the credit cards and makes sure that the soldiers get their bonuses when they should (Insights, 2011, 1). The marketing department in turn handles all sales issues especially ideas on how different groups of soldiers can have better performance. Also organizing community events and public education programs making sure that technology is up to date at all times to get new recruits interested at all times. Traci’s organization is also service oriented but also has different functionalities in the different departments compared to the other organizations (Harvard Business School, 2011, 1). The operations department exclusively dealing with customer care which includes having the customer care representatives stationed here, clerical work, claims and hearings being dealt with here as well. The HR department on the other hand dealing with the personnel records of employees. As well as receiving and maintaining a database of potential eligible employees. HR also does the training of newly hired staff as well as other employees in the other departments and finally managing the payroll of the whole organization. The accounts department then handles capital expenditures in the organization as well as setting budgets aided by the finance department which mainly manages and maintains the budget already set and allocated by the accounts department (Peter, 2011, 1). After which they communicate the yearly budget numbers to management to enable them make decisions based on these allocations. The marketers’ role is in public relations which mainly involves representatives going to different locations to talk about the program which creates awareness. All this departments are then supported by the management of the company which plans and organizes the organizations
Problem Statement Diversity comprises the entire range of primary aspects of an individual, such as cultural background, race, sexual orientation, religion, age, and disability. Some secondary aspects of diversity include styles of work/communication, organizational position/level, geographic orientation, and financial status. Topical research reveals that when valued and acknowledged, diversity increases individual efficiency, organizational efficacy, and continued competitiveness (Bassett-Jones, 2005; Cox, 2001). However, it also poses a challenge of miscommunication in organizations, because people come from different cultural lines, races, genders and age groups, in addition to different communication styles, work styles, and status. Therefore, this paper hypothesizes that although diversity is essential in enhancing organization performance, it also poses a challenge of miscommunication/misunderstanding in organizations. Potential Solutions One potential solution to the problem of miscommunication in an organization could be the use of images, videos, and translation as a means of enhancing communication, for persons from different ethnicities (Segal, 2009). So, to handle other diversities, some potential solutions may include maximizing contentment for all workers at the place of work, maintaining a workforce of international class, and creating an environment that encourages continuous learning. So, to ensure the environment is suitable for all workers, an organization may conduct audits on cultural diversity. Such audits may capture the heart of the workforce and offer open assessments of the work environment. The outcomes form the center for improvements in diversity-related issues. An organization may also use an informal method to get workers to express their concerns. For instance, an organization may develop an internal website where workers can communicate their views, learn about diversity and participate in the open dialog with their seniors. Another example of an informal instrument is the utilization of a worker feedback hotline, which enables workers to contact advisors on diversity and give feedback on topics related to their understanding of diversity at the place of work. In these forums, employees, especially those who are in the diverse groups, may also explain if they feel appreciated and dignified to work in the organization. Another potential solution for addressing diversity in organizations is dialoguing with affinity teams. An organization may promote and support the establishment of worker groups. Regular forms of groups include task teams, diversity councils, affinity councils, focus teams, subject study teams, and association groups. Such groups offer a forum to communicate and recognize the diverse interests and needs of workers. I
Dynamic Strategic Plan (DSP): Key Concepts and SWOT A Dynamic Strategic Plan (DSP) is typically defined as the means of creating rational policies for the use of the company’s resources (Brown, 2012). DSP usually includes concepts such as leadership, guidance, resource allocation, and data management (Niven, 2014).                  * Allows setting the priorities straight;                                                                                            Strengths        * Helps improving the security system and, therefore, passenger safety rates;                                                                         * Creates premises for executing better control over the key airport processes;                                                                       * Allows monitoring of the essential processes closer                                                                                Weaknesses       * Implies significant time consumption;                                                                                                               * Restricts risk identification to the initial risk level analysis                                                                                    * Provides a chance to enhance passenger safety rates;                                                                               Opportunities    * Provides opportunities for avoiding accidents;                                                                                                      * Provides a chance to identify key performance indicators and, therefore, improve the quality of airport services;                                   * Provides opportunities for a security gap analysis.                                                                                Threats          * May lead to a failure to identify all challenges that the key stakeholders face (de Naufville, Odoni, Belobaba, & Reynolds, 2013).  DSP for the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Purpose The DSP for the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is aimed at improving the current luggage checking process since the procedure is currently quite lengthy. Context The DSP framework will be applied to address the issue of waiting time at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Specifically, the stages involving the baggage check and the further delivery or the luggage to the passengers will have to be improved. However, apart from addressing the identified problem, the tool will be used as the means of promoting a general improvement of the airport services and enhancing passenger security. Assessment The assessment will
Library professionals Just like in any other profession, public library leadership plays a major role in society. There are various goals that should be my priority. Many people tend to undermine us as public library managers but the roles we play are very essential to society. Those people who carry out research may agree with me on the importance of the library profession. Among my goals is increased advocacy of various programs and decisions to all the staff members within the library. It is common as a library leader to be assessed by the members of the staff especially on the basis of logic, strength credibility of our plans and projects. Therefore, it is my goal to enhance the advocacy of various plans and programs within the community through various communication strategies. This will enable the public to acquire knowledge concerning the use of the library and the plans available that would improve the services provided to them. It is very important to make sure that the library provides the highest quality of library services. This is the utmost goal that I will press to attain to offer the best services to the people in California in the most innovative and effective way which will meet the current needs as well as the forthcoming challenges. To ensure that this ensues, it will be my role to ensure that I develop different leaders who will serve in the various library departments. I will also make sure that I reenergize as well as motivate all the workers who are working in the library to ensure effective service delivery. Another goal is to ensure that the operations within the library as well as the responsibilities given to me are maintained above the horizons of interest. One of the paramount responsibilities is making sure that the effectiveness of operations ensues in the library. This would ensure that all the members of the public access information and other services from the library at ease. It is worth noting that I will see to it that all the staffs carry out their responsibilities in a professional manner so that the overall performance will have improved. Any institution must be concerned with effectiveness in financial management. It’s therefore my goal to attain financial credibility
Introduction In course of human life it is often the case that one due to certain events or circumstances one has to review and alter one’s point of view and outlook on life. Soul-searching leads to acquisition of a new understanding of life and a new set of values resulting in changing one’s lifestyle and preferences. The reasons for such radical changes can vary from financial to emotional, and one of the widespread situations when a person experiences a renewal of outlook on life is, inter alia, changing of habitat: moving from one country to another, rising or descending in the social hierarchy, or simply losing one’s usual place of residence. The latter happened to Lars Eighner who in his essay On Dumpster Diving described his experience of living on the street and surviving there due to dumpsites which provided him with everything necessary and moreover, taught him some lessons. Body Paragraph I Eighner starts his essay with the introduction to the topic of Dumpsters, providing an etymological analysis of ‘Dumpster’ and a linguistic one of the typical words for describing the activity of overhauling dumpsites and explaining his preferences for the word ‘scavenging’ among all the other possible synonyms by the fact that it is the most accurate, sound and devoid of ambiguity. After directly stating his involvement into scavenging and mentioning the circumstances that led him to it, Eighner proceeds to discussion of scavenging activity as such according to a scheme “beginning with the practical art of Dumpster diving and proceeding to the abstract”, which reminds one of the possible outlines for a research paper. Body Paragraph II The first practical part comprises a detailed instruction of what food is safe to eat from Dumpsters. Claiming that at some time in one’s life anyone would not be able to resist the temptation of picking up something attractive from a Dumpster but only “eating from Dumpsters is what separates the dilettanti from the professionals”, Eighner provides a whole lecture on kinds of food available at dumpsites and the dangers connected with each of types. While such foods as canned goods, raw fruit and vegetables, candy, pizza from delivery shops, yoghurt and cheese are named among relatively safe ones, Eighner warns against any home-canned goods and prepared foods in general. Using three main principles of selection — common s
The story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf is that the shepherd boy was bored, and he chose to frighten the locals as entertainment when a wolf appeared. The locals tried several times to save the sheep and the boy from the wolf, but the boy only laughed. He was very amused that people are abandoning all their affairs and trying to help him. When the wolf appears at the end of the story, no one believes the boy anymore and does not save the sheep. Thus, because of his lies, the boy loses all the sheep. The author wants to show children that it is never worth lying in life. Any lie is punishable and will only bring misfortune to the liar. The central theme of the story, in my opinion, is that people stop believing liars and no longer seek to help them in case of trouble. I think that this is the story’s central theme because this is the moment when the narrative ends. “He cried out aloud “Wolf! Wolf!” But alas! No one came to rescue his sheep” (Aesop). No one helps the boy save the herd from a real threat because he lied too much earlier. This story is instructive for children and is recommended for reading. It demonstrates the consequences that lies can bring and teaches that if people have lied, they should be prepared to deal with what will happen in the end on their own. I want to ask my classmates: have they ever lied, and what consequences did their lies bring them? Naturally, every person in their life has ever faced the fact that they had to lie, and sometimes people, getting harmful consequences from this, decide that they should not have lied. Reference Aesop. (1867). The boy who cried wolf.
We live in an increasing technology and device-dependent world. Having said that we have a dependency also indicates that there is a certain part of our body that we tend to use a lot less because of it. We are now part of a mentally and physically stagnating society because of it. According to Minot State University professor Terry Eckmann, who was the guest speaker on Brain Fitness at the International Council of Aging, the past 10 years have shown that there is an actual and direct correlation between the brain and physical movement or exercise. Prof. Eckmann indicated that recent studies have shown that our brain is a constantly evolving and developing part of our body. We may stop developing physically, but our brain has a unique character that allows it to continue growing, even in our most advanced years of age. Brain exercise it seems prevents the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia because brain use/exercise allows for the development of new neurons and neural pathways in the brain. Thereby proving that regular brain exercise has a direct effect on our physical well-being. Brain exercise is nothing special. It does not require the use of any specific instruments, nor does it require any sort of special software to accomplish. Anytime we do anything physically challenging, such as learning a new dance routine or how to cook the recipe for a dish, we force our brain to exercise because of the cognitive need to understand what it is we have to physically manifest. Such activities ensure that our brain does not stagnate and instead, stimulate the brain by keeping it fresh with the analysis of new activities that turn into part of our daily routine. It is not as hard to keep our brains as active as we think. Prof. Eckmann pointed out that any sort of physical activity, socialization, and volunteerism provides our brain with enough activity to keep a senior citizen’s brain active. For example, older adults who regularly hit the dance floor, either with a partner or just as part of an aerobic activity have the chance to reduce their chances of having Dementia by 75%. This is because the activity allows for the stimulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factors. The rest of her video interview spoke about the other benefits of exercise on the physical aspect of a person, including how the concept of exercise has changed since the time before the baby boomers, the Jane Fonda era, and the current era as well being fanatics. The main point of her talk is that “Movement matters”, no matter how one gets it. Even something as simple as a 5-minute walk has long-lasting effects on our brain and physical well-being. Overall, it was a highly engaging and informative talk. Ms. Eckmann was well prepared and came armed with the most up-to-date information that will keep students of Health and Medicine engaged in the video podcast. It would seem like the information she is presenting has already been presented before, and that may be the case, but very few experts manage to create a relationship between mental fitness and physical exercise such as she was able to
Outline of Lessons Who This curriculum targets level 3 students who need to embrace the aspects of technology through the establishment and ratification of technological processes (investigating, devising, producing, and evaluating) (Willard, 2007). Students should know how to investigate issues, values, demands, and opportunities individually. Additionally, they should be able to devise and generate viable ideologies meant to prepare production proposals. They should also be able to emerge with solutions and manage production processes. This is followed by the ability to evaluate intentions, plans, and actions during the entire technological processes (Frumkin, 2006). What Fundamentally, the syllabus seeks to ensure that students understand the underlying concepts regarding technology processes (investigating, devising, producing, and evaluating). Students should have an outline of lessons covering each of the mentioned steps (Frumkin, 2006). As such, they should look into ways to reduce the impacts of such technologies on their lives and the environment. The measures undertaken should ensure that technology still meets the relevant human needs (Diamond, 2009). How Teaching this syllabus will encompass several strategies. Initially, the teachers should begin by elaborating to learners the magnitude of the lessons on any technological process. Students should be allowed to investigate their own issues for subsequent technological processes (Paterson, 2010). This is a critical phenomenon in various contexts. Subsequently, the tutor should engage the class in discussions relating to the topic. Once the discussion is complete, the tutor should allow students to brainstorm the ideas learned, device, and evaluate their progress (Hawkins & Simmons, 2009).

Considering the questions connected to the process of education, there are numerous issues for every person to face and overcome. A decision to get higher education is a solid decision that reflects on the whole life of people. The rightness of this choice predetermines the level of success and satisfaction that the person will get during their career. Studying at university has an incomparable potential to broaden horizons and stimulate people’s desire to conduct research and contribute to different sciences, which reflects the quality of life in a global meaning. Therefore, higher education is a key to opening new perspectives, and many reasons determine my connection to it. My name is Steven Medina, I am seventeen years old, and I grew up in Trinidad village in Belize in Central America. Since early childhood, I considered education extremely important and realized how precious the opportunity to get it is. My parents always did their best to provide me with the best available education, which is why I have learned the value of it. Moreover, I understood that I wanted to get higher education early; that is why I worked hard to do everything in my power, attaining good grades at every level of education. My family’s relatively low-income level motivated me even more due to the stimulus to improve our financial situation. An example of my effort is that I qualified to join Muffles college High School which presented me with a chance to actualize my academic ambitions. With the help of my teachers, personal commitment, and resources provided by the school, I graduated with a 4:0 GPA. It is an outstanding achievement, and I am looking forward to getting even better grades in college. Regarding the origin of my desire to get higher education, it is motivated by my perception of the concept of education. In general, I believe it is strongly connected to the ability of people to change the world and enter various life spheres, help other people and pursue their own goals, or stimulate scientific progress. In other words, education is an instrument that opens new perspectives in front of people who are highly devoted to it and the sphere of activity they have chosen. My sphere is medicine since I have dreamed of saving lives and practically helping people since I was young. Therefore, entering the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa would allow me to realize my ideas regarding healthcare improvement in the region where I grew up. Since childhood, I have been noticing the inconsistencies ad flaws of the medical system – for instance, the elderly do not receive the care they need. Entering the biochemistry program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa with a different purpose to pursue a medical degree would allow me to get the necessary knowledge for p
