Introduction Health standards play a very imperative role in ensuring that society remains healthy at all times. This is achieved by assigning and delegating such roles to a specified body. This paper discusses functions of NPHPSP and also the role of customer satisfaction in quality improvement. NPHPSP and its function NPHPSP refers to national public health performance standards program. According to CDC (center for disease control), NPHPSP is a public utility program whose main role is to set and maintain health standards. It has four main functions. First, it generates and disseminates health standards for public health structures and ensures the same is used by all health institutions hence ensuring security and safety of the public in reference to health standards. Secondly, it boosts and influences coordination of all stakeholders in national, state as well as local levels in relation to readiness for possible health exigencies thus ensuring that public is adequately covered for all possible worst case scenarios. Thirdly, it is responsible for constant quality upgrading of public health bodies and structures in order to meet both current and emerging needs in public health. Finally, it is responsible for reinforcement of scientific background for public health practice advancement hence ensuring that new scientific inventions and innovations are used within stipulated standards for best interest of the public. Thus, NPHPSP can be seen as a public watchdog whose main role is to ensure that all the aspects of health standards are made and followed by all means (CDC, 2011). Role of Customer Satisfaction in Quality Improvement It is undeniable that NPHPSP cannot meet any of its core objectives without the feedback mechanism existing between itself and public. It thus becomes a measure of progress of NPHPSP in meeting its obligations. Depending on current public needs, NPHPSP reorganizes its objectives to meet those particular requirements. Review of customer satisfaction enables NPHPSP to allocate resources and energy to sections that will ensure utmost customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction also enables NPHPSP to review successful and failed projects. This way, it is able to implement projects successful on one area to all regions and also discontinue projects that have no value to public health system. Results of customer satisfaction enable NPHPSP to understand emerging needs in the public health. Since one of the core objectives is to g
Introduction “Faith is a fine invention” is a poem by Emily Dickinson. While the poem is very short, it bears deep philosophical meaning. From one side, Dickinson wrote about faith in God and its importance in the life of people. From the other side, the reference to microscopes makes it possible to state that Dickinson wrote about science being opposed to religion. Living a life of seclusion and simplicity, Dickinson wrote poems of great power. She questioned the nature of faith and immorality. The opening lines of the poem state, “Faith is a fine invention for gentlemen who see ”. While the meaning of these lines appears to be self-evident, Dickinson managed to pose a philosophical dilemma without even asking a question. Analysis The descendants of Emily Dickinson are traced back to the early Puritan settlers who left England to practise religious freedom in America (Pettinger). As the result, the poem “Faith is a fine invention” is related to a religious theme. Religion was important in the life of Dickinson. She adapted the Calvinist approach to religion and believed that “men were inherently sinful and most humans were doomed to hell” (Pettinger). An only a small number of men could be saved while salvation could be achieved only by adherent proclaiming of faith in Jesus Christ. The Calvinist approach is sensed in the first line where Dickinson states that “faith is a fine invention”. Dickinson refers to faith as an invention because faith serves as a tool for salvation. Pettinger provides an interesting explanation for the religious as well as scientific tones found in Dickinson’s poetry – “although her poetry expressed intense inner experienced, this separation from established religion is a factor in her uncertainties and fluctuations in sentiment, evident in many poems”. In other words, Dickinson was not confident in her own beliefs and she questioned the importance of faith as opposed to science. Notably, Dickinson highlighted two words in the poem: “see” (line 2) and “microscopes” (line 3). The choice of these words reveals that Dickinson opposes science to religion. The word “see” symbolizes the ability of people to find meaning in life through religion while the word “microscopes” represents science and logic. Personal Reaction In conclusion, I think that the poem “Faith is a fine invention” is about the lack of religiousness in societies. While people strive to find meaning in life, they fail to accept faith as the only way to salvation. Dickinson suggested that people used to care about their souls and were faithful. However, scientific developments motivate people to question their own beliefs and to seek proof of everything. Faith is a belief that is not based on logic or scientific evidence. Faith is about believing without seeing. People turn to faith mostly when they are in trouble when faith becomes the last resort. Nevertheless, Dickinson tried to show that faith should be part of our daily life. Science does not give answers to all questions and sometimes it is worth believing in things that cannot be explained through logic. Works Cited Pettinger, T. Short Biography Emily Dickinson . 2006.

How are Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam similar? Find out in the essay below. Introduction Over the ages, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have grown and expanded to create what many people call “the Major World Religions”. These religions have developed over time, to establish various tenets. The tenets established are aimed at directing their adherents to attain their religious duties, and responsibilities in a better style possible. The five major religions have incorporated their founders and profounder aims or objectives of guaranteeing human existence, success and realization of purpose in life as a condition of attaining spiritual freedom. The major world religions have specific, or rather, a cause for their existence. It is challenging to understand the founder of Hinduism because it is a form of religion founded by any individual. It is God centered religion, thus; one can call Hinduism as founded by God. This is because Hinduism is built on psychological principles, encouraging all human beings to embrace. The followers of Hinduism are called Hindus. Buddhism founder is Sidharta Gautama. He was called Buddha by his adherents, which means the “awakened one”. Religious history gives little information about him. However, religious authors argue that Buddha was born around 563BC in a region of the Indian sub-continent. Buddhist adherents are called Buddhists, and a community of Buddhists is Sangha (congregation). Buddhism has many gods. They include; Lord Krishna, Vishnu, goddess Lakshami and goddess Saraswati among others. Muhammad, the founder of Muslim faith is believed to have been born in Mecca in 570. Muslims believe that God sent him as the messenger of good news. The Islam followers are known as Muslims and they call their God Allah. Judaism is connected with the rabbis of the second century; many historians, however, believe Hillel, a Pharisee, was the real founder. Hillel immigrated to Palestine during the first century BC. The followers of Judaic religion are called Jewish or Jews. Jesus Christ is the founder of Christianity. Moreman argues that regardless of whether Jesus was a deity or not, there exists sufficient evidence that He founded Christianity (80). Many religious authors emphasize that Jesus was baptized at the age of thirty years in River Jordan. He was then anointed with the Holy Spirit, which sparked His earthly ministry. The early adherents of Christianity were known as the Nazarenes, however, nowadays they are known as Christians. The major five religions have existed for thousands of years. Most of them have strengthened their teachings and practices basing on their sacred scriptures and writings. Besides, they have embraced the practices of their founders to strengthen their faith in what they believe. Thus, among the five religions, despite their names and places of origin, they all have varied similarities in their religious teachings, practices and rituals, among other aspects. Gwynne (95) notes the similarity among the Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianit
Background “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a 1962 drama film based on Harper Lee’s novel with the same name. The film, engaged brilliantly by Robert Mulligan, is set in the old town of Maycomb, Alabama, in the 1930s. To date, the movie remains the favorite of many fans of the book and critics as well. It tells the Finch family’s story with Scout, played by Mary Badham, her brother Philip Alford as Jem, and their single father Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. The protagonists include Tom, Scout, and Atticus, while the antagonist is Ewell. Atticus is faced with difficult decisions in his law career. He has to defend an African-American man, Tom Robinson, suspected of raping a white girl, Violet Ewell. Correspondingly, his two children are fascinated with the rumors that their neighbor Boo Radley is dangerous. This essay seeks to analyze the terms used to critique the movie. Point of Attack Scout, her brother Jem, and Dill spend their time playing games in the treehouse on summer days. They would roll down the town streets in a car tire and tell imagination stories about Boo Radley. Boo lives a mysterious life since he never gets out of the house to play. Despite the frightening stories the Finch’s have heard about Boo, they are curious to find more (García 2). The two believe that Boo’s father has chained the boy on a bed and would cane him every day. On the extreme, Atticus is approached by the judge to defend the wrongly accused Tom Robinson against his rape charges. Plot Atticus believes in fair justice for everyone irrespective of origin or race. However, his children are exposed to schoolyard taunts when he accepts Tom’s case. Before the trial, a lynch mob approaches Atticus when safeguarding Tom. To his rescue, Jem, Dill, and Scout interrupt the assembly. Surprisingly, Scout has no idea what the group is doing at the jailhouse. She quickly noticed Mr. Cunningham and told him to pass her greetings to his son Walter who happened to be her classmate. Cunnigham felt embarrassed as the crowd scattered, leaving him behind. On Christmas Day, the children attend church with their African-American cook, and they are well received. The plot proves to be logical and consistent throughout the movie, motivating the audience to watch till the end of the film. Turning Points Tom is accused of going to Ewell’s home and raping his daughter Mayella. Atticus argued that his client has a disabled left hand, yet the accuser suggested that her assaulter was left-
When we talk about the architect who looks at the architecture, we need to put ourselves in the architect’s shoes. There are two possible aspects of this problem: the architect considers some work that was created by him/her or some other architecture irrelevant to his or her own creation. No matter which of both situations is closer to the architect we imply, visual perception is the most important factor the architect will take into account. The phenomenon of visual perception of the person who looks at architecture is easily understood when we talk about the mental ability of creative people to generate images. The thing is that artists do not realize themselves as thinkers when looking at the piece of art. Actually, the process of thinking takes place when the author is working over his or her work, whereas when the architect looks at the work, his or her rich imagination starts to work. It is interesting to assume that the architect’s imagination that is “turned on” when seeing some architecture work is based on one of the two principles. Architect’s imagination may either come from the images he or she has seen and analyzed before or from the knowledge he or she has on this or that building. Therefore, depending on the nature of the architect’s imagination, he or she may benefit from the contemplation of architecture. As a rule, the architect’s desire to create something new wins, he or she looks at the architecture and thinks over how it may be modified or approved, and it does not matter whether the work the architect looks at is really a raw material or a perfectly planned and created work. While this process of mental evaluation of architecture takes place, the architect works out his/her own system of color vision, motion perception, and depth perception. The colors are extremely important for creative people as they help to render the message of this or that work. Though motion perception, at first sight, might seem a quite alien problem for an architect, his or her ability to the architecture in motion is of extreme importance. Looking at the piece of art architect sees the work in motion as it really seems alive to him or her. The depth perception of the work is carefully considered by the architect. The distance to the object that the architect evaluates may be important for the future plans the architect might have. What will be the best place for another masterpiece? Will the would-be work be appropriately treated if it is placed in this very place? These questions commonly arise in the architect’s mind when he or she looks at the architecture. Also, we should admit the fact that the architect’s perception of the architecture depends on gender. Although professionalism will always prevail, male and female architects will look for various things in architecture. The prerogatives are made according to the general rules of men’s and women’s distinction. As it is seen from
Criminal Acts Every country operates in accordance with specific rules that outline the way people should be punished in case they impose threat on lives and safety of other people, maintenance of organizations and government, and other potential dangers. Some of the rules regulating people’s actions are referred to as laws that stipulate punishment for criminal laws. According to the United States law, criminal acts are actions that, under the United States law, cause a threat to injure persons even if the offender is considered unable to commit the crime. Criminal acts are not influenced by race, such that persons of a particular race are prone to commit crime more than those of another race. Criminal acts are influenced by socioeconomic factors that put minority groups in improvised conditions promoting delinquency. The way the law is enforced will affect the extent of prevalence of criminal acts. As such, it is necessary to review the ideas introduced by David L. Bazelon (1973-) who analyses the development in criminal law as the one that occurred “against a background of mounting public anxiety about violent street crime” (p. 1143). In this essay; race is shown to be insignificant, law enforcement is shown to be a moral question, and self-reporting policies are seen as a social solution to managing criminal acts. Though justice should be blind and racial disparities should not be decisive for legal acts it is necessary to admit that some people are more likely to commit crimes due to socioeconomic disparities. More blacks than whites are arrested and this is attributed to the crime-conducive neighbourhoods that many blacks live in. Research findings of Robert J. Sampson and Janet L. Lauritsen (1997) conclude that there is no significant disparity in crime and criminal justice in the U.S. among blacks and whites that are as a result of race. Blacks are also less likely to self-report crimes they commit because of their prejudice against law enforcement. Whites offend the law less than blacks’ arguably because they enjoy better economic opportunities and success. If the tables were turned, blacks would be less law offenders than whites. The criminal justice system serves as the main source of research on racial differences. However, “the data that do exist are rarely presented to permit systematic study of race and et
The various forms of art are the beloved students’ activities in preschool and elementary school education. When it comes to the motivation of preschool and elementary school children, the teacher should be careful while preparing lesson plans. The art is a fascinating lesson for children. However, it is advisable to engage students’ positive emotions in the process of learning. According to Perkun (2014), “positive emotions influence learning by affecting student’s attention, motivation, use of learning strategies, self-regulation of learning” (p. 12). In anticipation of the holidays, it is expected that the students will be eager to create objects related to Christmas, and this eagerness will serve as the activator of the motivated behavior that will enhance students’ engagement in the learning process. Thus, the elaborated lesson design includes the “conceptual understanding” of the young learners’ motivation (Alderman, 2008, p. 5). This conceptual understanding refers to young learners’ happiness about being engaged in the process of making Christmas balls. However, the teacher is required to observe the class environment throughout the lesson and implement the tactics that would maintain and direct motivation. The involvement in the handiwork and the group work are the factors that provoke the students’ creativity and critical thinking. The lesson includes the high level of class participation, creativity stimulation, development of critical thinking skills, cooperation based on empathy, efficient teamwork, and discussions. According to recent research, this kind of activity supports the students’ high performance and induces positive outcomes in studying all the school and college subjects (Geissler, Edison, & Wayland, 2012, p. 4). In the art class, the students’ skills of critical thinking lie in the ability to observe the creative process and take measures to improve the results in due course. Students develop their critical thinking if they consider the activity being taught of extreme significance or interest. Making Christmas balls is an interesting and important activity for students. However, the task of the teacher is to make the most out of this activity. Thus, the teacher engages and broadens students’ knowledge about Christmas holidays and customs. Consequently, pupils began to realize the significance of their work. Critical thinking develops when the teacher plays the role of facilitator and then promotes individual work. At the beginning of the class, the teacher demonstrates all steps of making Christmas ball. Then, he or she lets children develop their ability to do the same on their own. Critical thinking develops as far as students learn to understand the way different materials may be used for the creation of the Christmas ball. Based on the skills of critical thinking and benevolent behavior, the students’ interactions within the team positively influence self-esteem and assist the development of the leadership qualities. The advantage of the art classes includes the provision of differentiated learning opport
Introduction The need to tailor the behavior of individuals in the workplace or organizational settings is crucial for shaping up the corporate culture. In essence, the corporate culture employed by an organization affects the collaboration of employees towards the attainment of shared goals and objectives. In this regard, it is fundamental to integrate specialized knowledge within the organization for improving the aspects of career development, employee attitudes, decision-making processes, consumer behavior, individual assessment, and job analysis. Therefore, streamlining the behavior of the stakeholders involved in the operations of an organization is essential for facilitating efficiency towards attaining shared targets. Importantly, the personality and emotional aspects of the labor force within an organization hold considerable influence on individual and collective performance. The uniqueness of different people in the workplace environment shows variations in personality. Biological and situational factors influence the construction of a person’s personality. As such, individuals react to issues in the organization differently, owing to their uniqueness. In this case, personality traits account for the different capabilities of individuals when it comes to managing their emotions. Mostly, the concept of emotional labor arises from the situational aspect of personality development (Grandey, 2015). Thus, the organizational or industrial settings represent the situational forces that shape up the character of individuals involved in the operations of an organization. The development of theories such as the Big Five Personality Model assesses the influence of different variables on emotional labor. Therefore, this paper focuses on personality and emotional labor by integrating the Big Five Personality theory to foster an understanding of the concepts in contemporary organizational settings. Personality Traits at the Workplace Individuals’ personality infers to their tactics of responding to the prevailing life experiences. How people portray their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors reveal their personality traits. Every individual is unique in his or her way. The uniqueness is attributed to biological and environmental factors that shape up an individual’s development over time. The personality development process influences any changes in one’s feelings, judgment, and behavior. For this reason, people sense, think, and act differently, denoting the uniqueness of personality traits. Individuals’ distinctive personality traits determine their recognition, interpretation, and response to different stimuli, a situation that influences the expression or suppression of emotions (Grandey, 2015). Thus, an analysis of personality is relevant in understanding the concept of emotional labor sin
Water companies are categorized under utility providers. Therefore, they do not directly profit from the product or services they offer. This makes it unfavorable or other investors to invest in the business. Furthermore, the water industry has always been a regional monopoly following the privatization of the sector that cannot allow it to operate as a competitive market. The industry is regulated, and therefore consumers are left with no choice and cannot have other water suppliers to provide them with the product. The market for searching for a life partner is not perfectly competitive. In this structure, both the buyers and sellers have perfect information about the market (Golod, 2021). If one is looking for a partner, they are not aware of the other partner’s character, and therefore they lack adequate information about the partner. Furthermore, in this market formation, it is assumed that the prices do not control the market, which is contrary to the search for a life partner. If an individual is wealthy, they stand a high chance of succeeding in the market for partners, unlike those who are not financially stable. In other words, the market favors people with enough money. The best outcome for Dorcas and Sophia is when both agree to clean the room together, where they will take only two hours, and none of them will be exhausted. The worst outcome is when either Dorcas or Sophia chooses not to clean the room. They may not clean the room together because either of them might fear being overworked by the other due to variation in work rate, hence they will opt to clean the room independently.
