Introduction Corporate social relations is a concept which many organizations use to give back to the society after considering the interest of the society regarding the organizations activities impact on its suppliers, employees, stakeholders, customers and the environment. This kind of responsibility extends far beyond the organizations objectives to adhere to the legislation that governs the organization. It entails the organization taking an extra mile a head and voluntarily creating initiatives which are aimed at improve and enhancing the quality of life for the staff as well as for the society and environment (Owen, pg ix). Case Study: Genentech Biotech Company Genentech has embraced the outcome of good corporate relations for a period of few years now but according to its Chief executive these few years operations coupled with a good corporate social relations has had a big impact to the overall performance and on the image of the company. The company believes that having a good social relations scheme integrated into its vision dubbed “Horizon 2010,” has really made the organization to turn out to be one of the chief oncology companies in the United States of America. It has managed to come up with a top cream immunological franchise and became a master and leader in biomedical field. The company brought on board the concept of social relations when one Mrs. Stutts become the head of communications after she recognized that the company did not have a good way of representing itself to the audiences and this led her to initiate the “Horizon 2010.” Vision which she wanted the company to use as a road map to a achieving what it initial had been unable to achieve. As the company’s relations team adopted this plan and started to use it there was obvious success that started to be seen which then forced the company’s chief executive officer, Mr. Levinson Arthur to integrate the action into the entire company system. When the media approached the CEO later after the company had adopted “Horizon 2010” into the system, The CEO told the reporters that, Corporate relations was an important function in Genentech and it had made the company to seek all avenues of growth and it was working well for the company when it comes to testing of new drugs before they were licensed. Genentech’s Value of social relations The company has a strong value it attaches to social relations and all the executives of the company recommends it to be one of the concept which is outstanding in the realization of the compa
Synopsis President Obama assumed office on 20 January 2009 as the 44 th president of the United States of America. He is the first US president from an African-American racial affiliation. During his first term, he mainly focused on policies that sought to address issues such as GFC and tax policies. He signed legislation that sought to reform the US healthcare system while at the same time exploring various foreign policy initiatives. In terms of enhancing security of the US to foster freedom from external aggression, he has been exploring mechanisms of reducing nuclear arsenals through diplomatic strategies, such as negotiations. In 2012, President Obama was re-elected back to the White House for a second term. Upon successful re-election, his victory speech mainly dwelled on the need to address inequality, global warming, and reformation of the American system of education to encourage innovation and technology. Over the first term and now, during his second term in office, President Obama introduced several policies to reform the US. However, for more than five years, one would ask, has he changed the nation? This paper addresses this question by considering success and failures of President Obama’s administration during his first and second terms in office. Analysis Obama’s Presidency and Transformation of the US From the time the US acquired its independence, all presidents of the United States of America have had their failures and successes in terms of changing the nation. As Watson reveals, close to the end of his political campaign in 2008, President Obama remarked that he was remaining with almost five days to transform the nation. 1 He promised economic growth by boosting employment levels of the US citizens. While several of his promises during the first term’s campaigns went partly or even without being met at all, this pronouncement was, perhaps, one of the most accurate and truthful prophetic statement that President Obama had ever uttered. Transforming the US amounts to one of the most substantial promises he has kept, although it is detrimental in some situations to the interest of many US citizens. Skocpol and Jacobs contend with this assertion by claiming that his presidency with support from his radical political left-wing supporters has changed the US from being the nation of the brave into a place, which enslaved and timid people can call home. 2 Through Pres
The vaccination against whooping cough given to infants remains crucial to the future health of babies. The vaccination against Pertussis prevents severe whooping cough among children during childhood and adulthood. The fact that the media widely reports on issues related to whooping cough plays a critical role in enhancing public knowledge. It is agreeable that vaccination should start when children are about two months old. However, it is regrettable that constant changes which take place within the society have altered peoples’ original perception about Pertussis vaccination. Society believes that the vaccine causes autism in children. Consequently, some parents avoid taking their children for vaccination from a young age. The statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) about the new outbreaks are agreeable. Infants who experience under vaccination contribute to the present high whooping cough outbreak rate. Under vaccination entails completely missing the vaccine doses. It also entails receiving the vaccine after the planned time for administration has passed. I agree with the assertion that under vaccination of infants leads to high Pertussis. On the contrary, fewer children who receive the dosage also develop whooping cough. The general public must change their perception about whooping cough vaccination to contain the outbreak. It is disagreeable that vaccination of children against epidemic illnesses according to dosage administration plans to enhance the effectiveness of vaccines. The administration of the Pertussis vaccine at the right time as spelled out in the administration plan makes it highly effective. Giving 5 doses of the DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis) over 5 years to a patient remain effective even during the periods after the administration of the dosage. This paper agrees with the suggestion that vaccines impart life-long immunity. However, Pertussis vaccine fails to provide patients with lifelong immunity years following its administration. These concerns raise questions regarding the possibility of drawing a new schedule for Pertussis vaccination. It is agreeable that the vaccination schedule for Pertussis should change in order to ensure maximum effectiveness of the program. CDC has plans to undertake vaccination for children above seven years. I agree with the suggestion because patients who are not fully vaccinated should remain stable for the period beyond the five years. In addition, infants who fail to receive adequate vaccination during th
Confucianism is a tradition that is practiced in ancient China and was founded by Confucius. Him and his disciples were able to spread the culture that has become the center of the East Asia region. Cultural values and traditions in China borrow a lot from Confucianism (Deuchler 1995, 302-390). Confucianism forms the most of the complex intellectual Chinese history and has greatly impacted the and shaped the culture of the entire Chinese communities and the surrounding nations neighboring the nation (Goossaert and Palmer2011, 2011, 411-415). The Confucian system has shaped social aspects of life such as family, marriages, politics, academics to mention but a few (Goossaert and Palmer2011, 2011, 411-415). Confucianism holds human life to be the most important and does not condone practices such as infanticide (Deuchler 1995, 302-390). As a teaching of the Confucian system, the Chinese have increased their loyalty to their leaders and morals have been effectively installed in them. In the Chinese society elders are accorded utmost respect and honor. Teaching the body involves strategized bodily arrangements and this is referred to as the LI philosophy. However, Confucians acknowledge other options of training including scholarly training (Deuchler 1995, 302-390). Confucianism teaches respect for one another with reference to everyone’s social standards supporting the discretion in relationships between juniors and superiors. Setting up a descent form of governance must include the rites and beliefs of the Chinese people and this is what the Confucians advocate for up to date. Confucianism upholds the Ren principle which advocates perfection hence campaigning for people to do everything competently. They believe in seeing nothing indecent, doing nothing indecent, hearing nothing indecent, and saying nothing indecent as well. According to Confucians, humanity is good which is in contact with an umber of other philosophies. The Confucian model does not encourage the subordination of women and it teaches against gender inequality (Goossaert and Palmer 2011, 2011, 411-415). According to Confucian philosophy, there are five social interactions that greatly influence public interaction (Goossaert and Palmer 2011, 2011, 411-415). They include the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between father and son, the relationship between the king and the officials, the relationship between the an elder and a young person, and lastly the relationship between friends (Deuchler 1995, 302-390). Confucius was mainly interested in creating a harmonious interaction between men and women (Yao 2000, 320-360). Junzi was an ideal of the Confucian philosophy that supported the the shared cooperation between men and women in the society (Yao 2000, 320-360). LI which stands for ritual is the only way according to Confucius for humanity to achieve Ren (Goossaert and Palmer 2011, 411-415). Confucianism teaches responsible actions and calls on the entire humanity to cat in the utmost care to behave in the most appropriate manner in all circumstances. This backs the reasoning of the Confucians on the principle of prope
Executive Summary The study demonstrates potential of the tourism industry in Australia. According to findings, most facilities and attraction sites are not fully utilised. Therefore, ACT must adopt study findings to implement the demands of various international tourists. At the same time, the focus must also address the wanting areas of customer service satisfaction. The research findings will address how the ACT intends to improve the level of satisfaction among diverse tourists from different parts of the world. As a tourism industry becomes competitive, there is a need for Canberra to adopt a vision of sustainable tourism development in its plan. This will address emerging challenges, and trends the industry is experiencing. Incorporation of traditional media and new media to reach all market segments and global, targeted visitors ensures that communication and promotional strategies, will have effective results in driving the number of visitors to Canberra. Social media must incorporate all the necessary information an individual needs in order to make a decision. In fact, social media have become the cheapest and fastest way to reach a global audience effectively. The tourism industry must address social, economic, environmental and competitive situations of the modern tourists. Tourists are most likely to demand high value for their money through customer services, products and activities they engage in while visiting. The ACT must put in place machineries in addressing challenges and encounters of different tourists such as setting up information centres, interpreters, reliable transport facilities, porters and guides. Introduction Canberra is Australia’s capital city. The native people have lived in Canberra for more than 20,000 years. Now Canberra is a leading tourist’s destination in Australia. The city has beautiful gardens and homes, parks, dining areas, accommodation and family fun parks. The region has natural wonders, including the wineries. Tourists experience the culture, history, landscape and gourmet specialties. Australia provides swimming, paddling, playing and fishing in the major rivers of Australia across the Murrumbidgee River Corridor. Australia also provides the natural grounds for playing in the snowy mountain where people walk and ski in the alpine flowers so as to access the highest peak. At the same, Canberra has long and natural beaches with wildlife, water sports, fishing grounds and fresh seafood on its coast. Natives and tourists live well and share their experiences through the love for land, art, food, wine and rural walks (Australian Capital Tourism, 2010). Background to the research The Australian Capital Tourism (ACT) has decided to promote and boost international tourism. Therefore, it has decided to have a better understanding of the needs, wants and satisfaction levels international visitors experience while visiting various attractions in Australia. The ACT knows that tourism is a leading cont
Issues and the Target Audience being Addressed Yemen is one of the countries that have experienced the Arab Spring protests witnessed in other countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. According to Swift (2012, p. 21), these protests started soon after the Tunisian revolution. The Yemenis, just like other Arabs in other parts of the world, were motivated by the success achieved by the civilians in eliminating the autocratic rule in Tunisia. This was in early 2011. When it started, the protestors demanded that the government should not modify the constitution as had been pre-planned. They claimed that such modifications would grant the president absolute powers. The government stopped its plans to modify the constitution in order to pacify the protestors. However, this did not take them away from the streets of Sana’a, Yemen’s capital city. They came up with a new demand to justify their stay in the streets. They wanted the long-serving President Ali Abdula Saleh out of office. They accused him of being an autocratic leader who was not concerned about the well-being of the society. The protestors used bombs and other weapons to target the senior government officials, including the president and his family. They succeeded in forcing him out of office in late 2011 (Bennett, 2015, p 14). In 2012, a democratic election was conducted in the country and Rabbuh Mansur Hadi became the president. For a while, all seemed well as the new regime took power. In 2013 and early 2014, the country experienced minor cases of protests in the major streets, especially following some of the landmark decisions made by the president in the cabinet. The year 2014 saw the emergence of Houthi rebels who came up with new demands. By September 2014, the Houthis had taken control of the country’s capital city. The UN intervened, and the rebels agreed to withdraw their forces from Sana’a. However, in 2015, things got worse. The Houthi rebels once again took over the city, putting the president under house arrest in February 2015. The president fled to the southern town of Aden. According to Khaled (2015, p. 11), the Houthis have become so violent in their protests. Having taken over power, they are now moving to southern provinces in order to consolidate their power. This war has drawn the attention of many neighboring countries, making it a policy issue. Iran has been accused of supporting the Houthi rebels. However, Saudi Arabia led other GCC countries to support the ousted government. This paper is spec
Maura is facing a problem that is common for modern women of her age. It is possible to apply two learning models to analyze Maura’s case. These models are classical conditioning and observational learning. First, it is necessary to consider major peculiarities of the learning models in question and, then, it is possible to analyze their applicability to the present case. Classical conditioning is based on the assumption that a neutral stimulus evokes certain responses if it is combined with another stimulus that evokes the same responses (Chance, 2008). Pavlovian experiments illustrate this model. Thus, a dog starts salivating when a signal is given. Hence, certain conditions lead to certain responses. At the same time, observational learning occurs when an individual observes some kind of behavior (usually it is the behavior of a model) and copies it (Chance, 2008). There are numerous examples of this in people’s everyday life. People tend to repeat the successful experiences of others if they need to achieve certain goals. In Maura’s case, it is clear that observational learning explains her behavior most fully. Hence, Maura (as any other woman) seeks a man who is ready to make a strong romantic commitment to her. She is likely to have models (her friends, relatives) who have managed to build strong families or proper relationships with men having stable careers. For Maura, this seems to be enough to conclude that she also needs a man with a stable career to develop a proper romantic relationship. More so, contemporary culture is based on the belief that proper relationships can be developed with only particular types of men. At the same time, the woman misses many details concerning the relationships of the models, and, hence, she makes mistakes that lead to painful break-ups. She only sees that some people are together but she does not know whether they are as happy as she imagines. Maura also seems to ignore many details as she focuses on the outcome. Nonetheless, she still uses the same approach and she looks for certain types of men as she thinks that is the way to do it. Even though she has already had some unpleasant experiences, she does not change her behavior and does not make any conclusions. When it comes to classical conditioning, the model fails to explain Maura’s behavior. The woman received several stimuli suggesting that her approach to romantic relationships was quite erroneous and it needed changes. However, it is also possible to assume that another stimulus (that reinforces the effect of the first one) is not present in this case. It is necessary to point out that it is quite difficult to identify the stimuli affecting Maura. At least, Maura cannot remember any stimuli as her memories are somewhat suppressed. More so, the woman may simply fail to understand why she is making the
DERMIS The need for real time response to disaster management followed the 9/11 events that required designing and integrating a dynamic emergence response management information system (DERMIS) into existing network and physical infrastructure. The design of the system was based on software functionality deemed critical based on extensive knowledge, experience, and tacit knowledge of the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) (Turoff, Chumer, Van De Walle & Yao 2004). Implementing the system required mapping the system design concepts into software design principles to optimize the functionality of the system. Therefore crisis management was based on the design and development principles developed from the Dermis Design Model as illustrated on table 1 below. The table details the design premises, conceptual design, general design principles and specifications, and supporting design considerations and specifications with the purpose to design appropriate functional requirements for the concept (Turoff et al. 2004). Table 1 Historical Insight From an historical perspective, the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) served civilian, regulatory, threat assessments, government disaster response effectiveness, and response planning by drawing on a larger network of expertise consultants and specialists, before it was modified to “Emergency Management Information System And Reference Index” (EMISARI) in disaster response system management design. EMISARI addressed technical and software needs (Turoff et al. 2004). OEP Philosophy One approach was System Training and Simulation. In this case, the core elements included training in a practical environment with simulated and practical events and quick apprenticeship. The next included crisis memory, exception as norms, scope and nature of crisis, role transferability, information validity and timeliness, free exchange of information, and coordination (Turoff et al. 2004). The key obstacles toward being effective in crisis management included high uncertainties, poor and lack of effective communication channels, non-flexible information processing at all levels, data movement, and lack of training (Turoff et al. 2004). Conceptual Design TheOffice of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) cuts across the nine emergency categories serving as a source of tacit knowledge to influence the software functionality of the emergency response system. The core concepts include metaphors which are the mental models for creating cognitive maps, the concept of human roles with actionable roles, notifications based on events, and context visibility for understanding users. That was in addition to hypertext concept for using different system functionalities (Turoff et al. 2004). Generalized Desi
