Introduction Individuals get married for a number of reasons most of which are as different from each other as day is from the night. By observation, most of these reasons have come to be documented in various pieces of writing either directly or hidden within other forms of social writing. This essay seeks to analyze a few of such reasons under the guidance of three readings. These readings are a play titled On tidy endings by Harvey Fierstein, the poem Advice to my son by Peter Meinke and Safe, a play by Cherylene Lee. In his poem, Peter Meinke advised his son to make the best of life by having all the fun possible. This, he says, is because life is very short and brittle and it can break any time. In the same breath, he tells his son to plan for the future because he may end up living longer and making arrangements for the long-term will help make his life comfortable on earth (Meinke 447). One of the proposals that Meinke suggests to include in the long-term plan is marriage. He advises his son to first look at a girl’s mother before settling down with the daughter. Though he does not expound further, it is easy for the reader to see why Meinke advices his son thus. First, most of the phenotypical characteristics are inherited. Therefore, if the parents are good looking, it is most likely that the children will also share the same good looks (Meinke 447). Secondly, children tend to get most of their character tendencies from their parents. Therefore, if a mother has desirable character qualities, there is a high likelihood that the daughter picked up the same admirable traits. In essence, the mother makes the daughter (Meinke 447). In a way Meinke tries to illustrate that marriage is one of the major life decisions for everyone. This is mainly because during the selection of a marriage partner there is the possibility that at least one of the two individuals will spend the rest of his/her life with the person chosen. Meinke, therefore, advised his son and indeed any other reader to choose carefully and not rush into a commitment without first considering its implications (Meinke 447). Harvey Fierstein principally suggests that marriage is one of the sources of happiness in life. He, being a homosexual, supports the right of the individual to choose whom to marry and regards heterosexual and homosexual marriages as having similar strengths and weaknesses (Fierstein 463-481). By the story revolving around a certain man whose partner dies with AIDS, the author tries to illustrate how comforting it is to have a wife or husband by someone’s death bed (Clum 28). After the death of Collin Redding, Arnold Beckoff builds a relationship with his fallen partner’s ex-wife, Marion Redding and the two are able to comfort each other following the death (Fierstein 465). By this, Fierstein sufficiently passes across the message that marriage provides both parties with a shoulder to lean on whenever calamity strikes as it is evident that Beckoff could not sufficiently cope with hi
Nursing associations are quite common in many countries in the world, facilitating nurse practitioners’ professional development. The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) is one such organization. The association was founded in 1969 as a response to nurses’ need to share knowledge and obtain more educational opportunities (American Association of Critical Care Nurses [AACN], n.d.). This paper includes a brief overview of the options the organization offers to its members. Nurses find membership in nursing associations a valuable experience and a platform for further development. Notably, this progress involves each nurse’s professional development, as well as all members’ contributions to the evolvement of the nursing practice (Rowley et al., 2020). This engagement in the network of committed professionals can be specifically beneficial for nurses working at progressive care units in the neuro/cardio units. The practitioners operating in this area need to be advanced multitaskers who have to make myriads of complex decisions during their workdays. They also need to remain updated on novel techniques and practices, which can be difficult without communicating with other professionals. The ACCN is a valuable channel for such communication as well as education as the organization (like many other similar institutions) offers numerous programs for its members. Practitioners can also receive the necessary certification regarding their advanced credentials. AACN is a nonprofit organization that serves as a platform for nurse practitioners’ growth and professional growth. The association’s mission is to provide nurses with the necessary ground for “expert knowledge and the influence to fulfill their promise to patients and their families” (AACN, n.d.). Excellence in practice is the primary value of the association, which shapes the opportunities it offers to its members. The AACN helps nurse practitioners to achieve excellence by providing education and certification support, networking, and recognition. As for recognition, the association’s excellence programs aim at recognizing the professionals who advance nursing practice and research. Circle of Excellence award and Beacon award are illustrations of such effort (AACN, n.d.). Peers choose the most outstanding nominee, which shows the relevance and significance of these individuals’ work. Notably, only association members can be nominated for the circle of excellence award, while the Beacon award can be awarded to non-members (AACN, n.d.). This flexibility facilitates the exchange of ideas and p
General approach Before the conference, I would lay down a plan of approach to selling my firm; Education Dynamics. I will target generally all the attendance, although I will focus more on decision-makers and influencers. My point of focus is appropriate because these officers are holding strategic positions at their schools and they would be helpful by making a referral in circumstances where they would be required to advise aspiring high schools student who wishes to pursue higher learning (Hopkins 173). My second approach getting to know as many attendances by name as possible and acquiring their contact addresses, including their cell phones, so that I could reach them any time a new development pops up. About my conversation with the attendance, I will concentrate on cultivating a long-term partnership deal, other than just getting them to recommend a few scholars to Education Dynamics. In the course of the conversation, I will consistently focus on what is important to the target (Rogoff, par. 1). Entrepreneurial conversation My third strategy pertains to the conversation I will have with my prospective consumers. I will use the time for social activity to strike an entrepreneurial conversation with the target attendance. I will listen out to the prospects consumers what interest them about higher education institution so that I will describe the features of my institution that suit their interest. Also, I plan to personally seek out their opinions about enhancing productivity and in recruitment and sustenance schemes at the same time cutting the cost of accomplishing this. Importantly, I will be more incisive when driving the conversation towards quantifiable objectives, including striking a sale, predicting the returns on ventures among others. These important elements can also be subjective and difficult to measure, including predicting the maturity of my new plan of action. Rogoff (154) argues that concentrating on the important issues drives the conversation on, while other subjects stagnate the conversation and minimize the chances of arriving at a compromise to collaborate. I will be cautious not to let an opportunity to drive the entrepreneurial conversation towards discussing the targets important issues, other than project my interest. Nevertheless, I will also regard my interest with clarity while projecting more on the other person’s real interest, on the account that they are superior and that my interest may never be accomplished. Objectives Fourthly, I will approach every target with a thought
Introduction Overview Service industries play a significant role to the global economy. This is because of service markets across the globe. Service industries such as financial, technology, banking, and insurance create growth opportunities for the strategic acquirers. Report purpose and structure The rapid development of service industries has led to economic growth in many nations of the world. In the last decade, service industries have grown tremendously across the world. This rise has led to rapid global economic growth. The main reason for this report is to establish the importance of services industries in building economic growth. Reasons to build a services economy Intangible aspect of the service industry Most organizations across the world are embarking on the establishment and development of the service economy due to its intangible aspect. This is because the intangible aspect makes the industry difficult to pirate. This means that it is difficult for other firms to copy the work without being authorized by the genuine owner. Importance of technology in the service industry Another reason for building service economy is because of the technological advancement in the service industry. Technology has played a significant role in the service industry. This has led to a significant growth in profits and shareholders returns, in service industries such as financial and banking industries. Information and technology have enabled many organizations to participate in service related activities. For instance, the e commerce has helped in creating new market opportunities for many firms. Entry barriers This is another reason which has made many organizations build service economy. Most of the firms in the service industry are subjected to strong institutional controls as well as high entry barriers. Some of these barriers are not found in the commodity industry hence the need to venture into the service industry. Sectors impacted by market forces Banking sector The banking sector has been affected by the forces of deregulation, and market liberalization. One time scale economies is not a barrier of entry anymore in the banking industry. This is because of the development of internet banking, which is very flexible as compared to mere economies of scale. Software service industry There is a lot of shortage in skilled manpower in the service industry. For instance, in Japan and US there is a high shortage of computer service personnel (McManus, 2005). This has provided a good opportunity for other countries such as India and china to provide skilled man power in order to fill the gap. Financial services Deregulation and liberalization in the financial sector has led to increased competition in this sector. This has caused increased productivity, as well as quality improvements of financial instruments (Keyes
Australia has been swift in responding to humanitarian needs of the people in times of crisis. This is evident when cyclone wrecked havoc in Samoa and Niue in 2004. There were indeed rapid and coordinated responses. This was made possible with the urgency with which AusAID and relevant NGOs relayed the information on community needs. In a matter of time medical supplies and other necessities were made available. EMA and AusAID undertook to work together with other relevant national authorities. Under this partnership, water containers and tablets used for purifying water were sent to the affected people. Other development partners like France and Newzealand also joined this campaign. Australia has also contributed to peace building efforts in Sri Lanka that has had civil wars for almost a quarter of a century. Australia oversees the post conflict rehabilitation processes to refugees through International Organization for Migration. However, Australia for quite sometime has been thought to be a violator of refugees basic human rights, observes Dharmanan (1). The country has been in the limelight for hindering multiculturalism and for its hard line stance on individuals seeking asylum. UNICEF’s assertion that the living condition of immigrant children in Europe is slightly deplorable compared to that in Australia has helped spark the latest controversy into this issue. Statistics show that almost 2 million children aged below 17 years living in immigrant families comprise 33% of Australian population. These children’s living standards were similar to those children brought up in Australia. This is also the same for the kind of education they receive. Despite the fact that the Australian government has scored relatively well in other spheres, their immigration policy has remained the most wanting (Ziffer, para. 3). A proper ventilation of Australian humanitarian record reveals that she is not an international leader as she is purported to be in immigration perspective. This is evidenced at times of wars when the numbers of refugees swell, their response has not been so promising. In the year 2007-08 a rickety 7.3 % of refugees were included in the humanitarian program (Australian Bureau of Statistics, pp. 1). Further research indicates that in the last quarter of the 20 th century, Australian humanitarian intake was so negligible in comparison to the country’s overall allowance. Australian government has only softened its immigration policies on skilled immigrant hence the surge in number of those falling under the category of skilled migration program. The statistics on living standards of immigrant children was prompted by the fact that the parents of these children were skilled migrant workers who had good education with beautiful pay packages hence ease in settling. It is notable that a reasonable percentage of these migrant workers were British citizens. Some major challenges that refugees in Australia face are racial a
Introduction The global human population has increased drastically over the past few decades to more than six billion people today. This has obviously put a strain on the world’s natural resources. The rapid growth in population is attributed to a number of factors including improved medical technology, improved standards of living, improved public health, and reduced death rates (Pearce 2010). The current essay shall endevor to examine the impact of increased human population on the global resources. Specifically, the essay shall explore the impact of increased population on natural resources, energy availability, food production, and the environment. Natural Resources and Energy Availability The growing world population has really stretched our natural resources like water, land, minerals, and energy supplies. As the global human population increases, so does the demand for food. This necessitates clearing of forests, ponds, wetlands and green belts to make room for food production (Engelman 2009). However, we end up damaging our natural ecosystem in the process. In addition, when natural resources like forests gets depleted, natural processes like the nitrogen cycle and photosynthesis are affected, thereby interfering with the growth of the ecosystem. As the world population grows, so does the rate of energy consumption. Already, the rising human population has overstretched the non-renewable sources of energy, and this has forced various countries to turn to renewable sources of energy (Nielsen, 2006). Food Production and Distribution As the global population increases, there is a dire need to increase the world food production. Consequently, different countries are embracing technology in agriculture as a way of improving food output. Unfortunately, as more forest land is cleared to give way to food production, it leads
Introduction Literature always provides an excellent platform where authors can present some of the happenings in the society in an artistry manner through fiction. According to Eoyang, authors always use the power of their imagination to depict what happens in the world in such a way that it is not only meant to entertain, but also to teach and offer some guidance on various issues in life. 1 Fiction can also be considered as a rich source of history, because most of the writers usually base their story on real events that took place some time back in their lives, or events taking place during the time of their writing. This means that in most cases, it would be possible to detect some form of similarity on works of different authors who had a similar experience in life that shaped the content of their works. As Fong notes, one of the areas to detect such similarities would be the guiding theme in the works, the type of the language used, and some of the historical references made. 2 In this study, the researcher intends to analyze two fictions with the view of identifying some of the similarities and differences they exhibit. The book ‘ To Live’ by Hua Yu and ‘ Big Breasts and Wide Hips ’ by Yan Mo were both written in the context of cultural practices in the East Asian, and their transformations in modern China and Japan. Although the two books were written in different timeframes, they both present the transformation of the East Asia from the historical perspective, the two books are presents issues relating to gender, ethics, and environmental concern in this region. This makes it necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of the two books in order to determine some of the similarities that they present. Comparing these two literatures helps in construction of the social structure of the people of East Asia. These scholars have given detailed discussion of the social structure of the people of the East, especially the Chinese social and cultural practices. Comparative analysis of these two literatures helps in bringing a detailed understanding of the historic facts in this region. The two books will be discussed to determine some of common and different issues they have in terms of style, theme presented, and any other stylistic features they could have in common. Common Themes in the Two Books These two books share a number of themes, especially concerning the virtues in the society, and some of the historical facts of this country. It is important to note that the two literatures were written in the context of East Asian cultural practices. Both books try to depict the cultural practices of the Chinese people, and the way they related with their neighbor, especially Japan. As mentioned previously, these two books were written two different individuals at different times, but both were based on Chinese social background. This means that although they could have some differences in the themes presented, it would be easy to depict similarities, especially in the social practices. The following are some of the similar topics discussed in these two books. Immorality and Unfaithfulness The authors of th
Introduction There is no use denying the fact that there is a great number of regularities which functioning makes the existence of the modern world possible. It is vital to analyze the main aspects of these process in order to understand the main principles according to which our society functions. The knowledge obtained from this analysis can help to create the more efficient model of our society and help people to understand the way in which they interact with each other. That is why, many various models have been created throughout the history of humanity. These models try to find peculiarities according to which some process are performed. Concentric Circle model is one of the models which could be applied to a great number of different spheres as it has rather universal character (Bunyi, 2010). That is why, it is possible to analyze its main concepts using the Harry Potter franchising as the background. Concentric Circles model the main idea First of all, it is vital to give a clear definition of the given model and outline its main peculiarities and concepts. It should be said that the given model is usually described with the help of circles which disperse from the center. The given scheme shows the general view of the model Concentric Circles model the main idea As it becomes obvious from the scheme, one of the main advantages of the Concentric Circle model is its wide applicability as it could be used to describe a great number of different processes in various spheres. It could also be used in terms of media and its influence on people. The given sphere uses “concentric circles to describe the relative influences on media content of individuals, routines, organizations, factors outside the medium and ideology” (Keith, 2011, para. 3). Main ways of its usage With this in mind, it becomes obvious that the above mentioned model can be used to describe the influence of a certain phenomenon on the life and conscience of people. The center of the model is the most important notion which influences a great number of other issues and leads to the appearance of new layers which could be compared with the ripples on the surface of the pond (Jacobson, 2015). That is why, it is very important to determine the key concept and speculate resting on the fact that in influences a great number of other issues. Under these conditions, it is possible to say that the usage of the Concentric Circles model can help to identify the main
