Describe the cycle of money, the participants in the cycle, and the common objective of borrowing and lending The cycle of money is the period of funds circulation. It starts from the moment of resources acquisition and goes until the sale of goods and receiving money for them. The main participants in the cycle are creditors and buyers. The purpose of borrowing is to obtain financial resources for a certain period. The objective of lending is the provision of capital taking into account the following interest payments. Distinguish the four main areas of finance and briefly explain the financial activities that each encompasses The primary financial areas include finances of commercial and non-commercial funds, as well as budgets of public authorities and extra-budgetary funds (Janicka, 2016). The first two relate to business entities and cannot be connected with the state property. The second two are linked to state and municipal finances and can be used to sponsor all the government projects and payments. Explain the different ways of classifying financial markets According to the types of services, four categories of financial markets are distinguished (Davari & Aminnayeri, 2014). They are the credit market, the securities market, the foreign exchange market, and the precious metals market. According to the way of the trade organization, there are exchange and non-exchange markets. These types of classification are used to identify the primary spheres of trading and finances distribution. Discuss the three main categories of financial management All financial activities are connected with the earning and distribution of resources. The main categories of financial management are considered to be capital, that is, available funds, the profit that comes in the process of work, as well as cash flow. If all three categories are correctly considered, the chances of successful trading will be very high. Identify the main objective of the financial manager and how he or she might meet that objective Priority tasks of any financial manager are the competent allocation of resources, the assessment of risks and opportunities for a particular company, as well as the planning and control of costs. This post implies searching for solutions to ensure that a certain enterprise is economically sustainable. Also, a rather significant task is to wor
Introduction Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia, that officially became independent as a nation in 1932, so the education was limited to some private Islamic schools. Today any citizen of Saudi Arabia has a right to enter the public school, either it is elementary or high. The government’s investment in education is equal to 8.8% of its gross domestic product. The schools mainly focus on Islamic studies; however, more diverse programs have been embedded. There are different types of schools, but the primary schools are the center of attention as they lay the foundation for children’s future achievements. Public primary schools in Riyadh imply a six-year program with day education. Among the capital’s local schools, there are international and multinational ones. Although the education system is elaborated, there are problems that teachers still face. Literary Review The first problem in Riyadh’s primary schools relates to the insufficient amount of class time. According to Zheng (2015), the limited hours assigned to a teacher do not allow them to fulfill academic objectives. A heavy load of information cannot be explained during one class, so the teacher either skips some topics or, on the contrary, focuses on them more, thus postponing other questions. It is possible to note that “many teachers want to move beyond traditional methods of teaching” (Kaufman & Wandberg, 2015, p.87). The statement underlies the teachers’ desire to find more effective ways of engaging a student in the process of learning. Nevertheless, this issue can be solved by applying sophisticated methods. Some researchers believe autonomous learning is a key to the solution (Zheng, 2015). Independent learning implies provoking the interest and initiative of a student so that they can complete the task within the preassigned time and develop independence from the teacher. Moreover, it will improve their active learning, i.e., total engagement into activity (Cavanagh, n.d.). Active learning includes class presentations, creating mind maps, and debating, which are especially important for elementary school kids. The next strategy offered is aimed at planning a class (Morrison, 2015). It means that the teacher should plan questions, define the time for discussion without overloading so that the time spent on the assignment will take less time. Some practitioners offer to use technology tools not only to alleviate the process of learning but to manage the time (Chong, 2018). Such services can help to provide students with feedback or assignments. All these approaches used together can significantly improve tim
There are many and different cultures in the world. People holding these cultures have different beliefs. Traditionally, people used medicine and ate food according to what they believed about them. There was passing of beliefs from one generation to another. Each culture was unique in its own ways. Traditional medicine customs in Chinese culture Among herbal systems of the word, Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the great ones. The system has continually developed throughout its history. Sustaining of this Traditional Chinese Medicine was through research into every aspect of usage. Herbal medicines are very safe especially when prescribed by a well-trained health worker. The Traditional Chinese Medicine has unique characters. For many past years, these traditional medicines have been providing curing of many diseases. Naming : traditional Chinese medicine has a variety of names with some of them complicated. They were given names according to their origin, smell, the disease they heal, and the name of the one who discovered them. Functions : the medicines functioned in different ways according to the type of disease. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been remarkably effective in treatment of diseases like tumours, bone fractures, and many others. TCM provides non-surgical treatment of diseases that may require surgeries. Recently, development of TCM was through technology. For example, cupping has further been developed as a way of opening pores of the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine has significantly improved the health of people from all over the world. The result for this is few deaths caused by serious diseases. TCM has been helping in raising the economy of countries and counties all over the world. Research reports Reports on some researches like statistics showed that China raised the number of the world’s qualifying. Researchers report that TCM has improved people’s ways of living. This happens through creating employments. Also, research results to better forms of herbal medicines. They help treating complicated diseases that are extremely common in today’s life. Knowledge This is a course that examines how a country or a county approaches health and medicine. Globalisation of science and technology has become a reality of today’s world.TCM has resulted to an increase in the people’s knowledge. It increases during researches to discover better forms of herbal medicine. Researchers must get new ideas about this which makes them knowledgeable. Anthropological approaches This is a course that helps one examine diverse ways of how people understand traditional medicines. Individuals
Over fifty years ago, a crime was committed in Kew Gardens that left many wondering what had happened to our humanity. According to the accounts given by the witnesses, the killer had time to come and finish the job on two occasions while no one dared to report the matter. The only person that called the police did so after the lady had succumbed to her wounds and the killer had got away. The indifference and inaction of the neighbors were shocking, and this case has exposed the level of ignorance that exists in our society. The inactivity of these people was a criminal offense, and they should have been prosecuted according to the actus reus due to the neglect they showed towards the Genovese (Baker & Williams, 2012). West’s Encyclopedia of American Law (2008) describes actus reus as an element of criminal responsibility. It includes the unlawful act or omission, commission, or possession that contains the components of a crime. The law requires proof of both the actus reus and the men’s rea so that criminal liability can be determined on the part of the suspects. In this case, an act or omission was committed by thirty-eight people that witnessed this murder yet did not bother to alert the police. The act of omission is committed when one does not do what is expected of him or what is considered the norm in such a situation (Baker & Williams, 2012). In this case, 38 neighbors committed an act of omission by not reporting this ordeal to the police. The issue of if bystanders should be prosecuted is very important. Charging bystanders for omission will go a long way in ensuring such activities are not repeated in the future. The main advantage of charging bystanders is to make sure that people do not tolerate crime as they will also be charged either for neglect or omission. The culture of bystanders watching a crime and leaving it unreported must be stopped by prosecuting those found guilty. However, the disadvantage of charging bystanders is that innocent people might be charged wrongly in case they did not understand what was going on. Many argue that prosecuting bystanders may not be the solution to this problem. Most people suggest that society should be enlightened not to tolerate any form of crime by reporting or making an effort to stop such a crime (Baker & Williams, 2012).
In Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery,” the story illustrates how people can get so completely caught up in following the customs and practices of their culture that they lose the meaning of the action. The history provided of the lottery within the story is sketchy at best as people begin gathering around a black box and organizing in a strict patriarchal hierarchy. The discussion of the lost original paraphernalia emphasizes the degree to which much of the original history has also been lost: “At one time, some people remembered, there had been a recital of some sort, performed by the official of the lottery; a perfunctory, tuneless chant that had been rattled off duly each year … but years and years ago this part of the ritual had been allowed to lapse” (119). While there is a subtle hint that perhaps the lottery is tied up with ancient traditions of fertility and the harvest, this is as close to the history or usefulness of the lottery as the story gets. Although there doesn’t seem to be much of the original materials, practices or meaning of the lottery available to the reader, the degree to which people have become slaves to tradition is emphasized in the idea that the villagers themselves also seem unsure of the tradition. As the drawing gets underway, there is some talk in the crowd that there are other villages thinking about getting rid of the lottery. Mr. Adams brings up the subject to Old Man Warner who immediately scoffs at the foolishness of such new ideas. According to Old Man Warner, there has always been a lottery and this is, apparently, reason enough for it to continue. No tangible or spiritual reasons are offered for its continuation while it would seem the emotional attachment to a meaningless practice would be far outweighed by the emotional losses of mothers, daughters, husbands and sons as the lottery is played out. While people within the village have questioned the reasons for the lottery, they remain dedicated to its practice as the victim is finally selected. “Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones” (123) as Tessie is stoned to death. Although today’s world is no longer accustomed to using physical stones as a means of beating a sacrificial offering to death, it remains true that people in the modern world continue to devote themselves to meaningless ceremonies and practices that can often have detrimental impact on the family unit or social relationships. Today’s world is increasingly globalized, meaning various people of different cultures and belie
Feedback 1 The research questions help to explore the overarching query, which is to determine what motivates or limits teachers when they are adopting new technologies and to bring out an understanding of the teacher’s use of new media technologies. This would tell the researchers and practitioners of the elements in the current programs, such as the Common Core State Standards that are supportive of the overall teaching and educational goals in high schools. At the same time, the research question provides specific dimensions of the phenomenon of teacher attitudes, motivation when it comes to technological teaching aids. The study is seeking to explain the way new media technologies will end up assisting student learning. It, therefore, picks the primary stakeholders and the secondary stakeholder who are teachers and administrators. Feedback 2 The study narrows down to a case of several high schools that prove the environment for teachers to work with various new media technologies. The questions also bring out the theoretical underpinnings available in the theory of planned behavior. Especially, they show how motivation leads to action, and whether the motivations are intrinsic or extrinsic. The questions ensure that the study does not only dwell on the information gathered from teacher surveys but also offer a link to the various policy architects seeking to introduce new technologies and implement them as part of education reform. The questions also expand the scope of the study and elaborate on the main problem statement, which was to find out the attitudes and perceptions of teachers regarding new media technologies by providing a focus on the entire school environment. This environment includes teachers, administrators, and the infrastructure as well as policy in place. Feedback 3 The study is evaluating aspects of the theory of planned behavior that relate to the ability to follow the theory to predict behavioral outcomes. Following the teacher’s perceptions and their interaction with new media technology and then relating them to expect the behavior of individuals when interacting with new information and roles helps to develop additional literature. The additional information assists in finding alternative approaches to reviewing the potential uses of the TPB. Moreover, the research also follows a structure that introduces new information and then verifies the information according to the TPB to come up with a new conclusion. In this case, the query is whether there are specific relations between perceptions and behavior outcomes that are unique to the high school teacher context when interacting with new media technology as a teaching aid. The approach of conducting a survey of teachers and collecting qualitative data, such as interview reports provide the context of applying different behavior modification incentives and observing their results in terms of the eventual behavior of the studied subject. Here, teachers are r
Up to date expansions in macroeconomic plans, both in frames of theory and practice, have raised financial policy while fiscal policy has been reduced. Monetary policy has concentrated on the setting of interest rates as the key policy tool, along with the acceptance of inflation goals and the use of fiscal policy to target inflation. The fact is that there is no clear declaration of fiscal policy, but defenders of such a model have produced lots of disputes that propose that the use of optional fiscal policy should be regarded as the exemption rather than the rule. The norm for fiscal policy should be created to let habitual stabilizers operate in any surroundings of budgets reasonable within the business cycle. A number of cases have been put onward to make the case besides the use of optional fiscal policy and of long-term budget deficits. According to Heming and Kell Further arguments in opposition to discretionary fiscal policy relate to what has been labeled as institutional features of fiscal policy: model indecision, in that long and more unsure lags overcome than it was considered before; there is the risk of pro-cyclical behavior in view of unwieldy parliamentary endorsement and accomplishment; increasing taxes or declining management expenses during upswings may be politically impracticable, and this may produce a deficit partiality; spending choices may be subjected to irreversibility, which can lead to public expenses ratcheting effect; and there may be a supply-side ineffective association with tax-rate volatility. The empirical researches of the efficiency of fiscal policy are normally assumed in the context of econometric replicas that could be regarded as amplifications of the ‘new consensus’ representation. The final econometric model is much larger and includes lots of leads and lags which do not appear in the ‘new consensus’ model but the econometric models usually compel the subsistence of a supply-side equilibrium which is equivalent to the zero result gap for which inflation is constant. With a policy system that moves forward the economy towards the supply-side equilibrium, there is little space for output to considerably diverge from the supply-side stability. Hence, any fiscal stimulus is soon degenerate in the context of the mode
The books by Zane Grey played a significant role in the development of the genre called western. The image of a hero living in the Wild West comes from his works. Interestingly, more than half of Grey’s works were screened. This writer was able to create such an extraordinary character due to the experience he received while traveling in the west. He became closely acquainted with the culture, sights, and realities of this terrain, which left an indelible impression on him. These reflections were transformed into a particular literary genre. The book “Riders of the Purple Sage” was one of the first in the genre western. At present, this work is considered classics of the genre. The purpose of this paper is to review this book by Zane Grey. General Description The book reveals the events from the life of Jane Withersteen and her friends who face multiple obstacles on their way to happiness. Members of the Mormon Church persecute the young woman because its leader intends to marry Jane. Lassiter and Bern help her to avoid this terrible event. The young woman adopts a girl (Fay) and falls in love with Lassiter with whom they have to overcome various difficulties to be together (Grey 175). Lassiter is well known in Texas and Utah (Grey 152). He does not accept the Mormon beliefs and helps Jane save her friend Bern Venters from persecution. Bern, in his turn, falls in love with Bess who turns out to be the Masked Rider. In the course of the story development, some of the heroes abandon their religious roots and beliefs. They have to fight with the Mormon community to be with their loved ones. Overall, storylines intertwine the fates of the main characters, which allows the audience to understand them better, and an exciting and dynamic plot pushes the reader to finish the book in one sitting. Review One of the main features of the book is the dynamic plot. The author creates an exciting atmosphere by unfolding several storylines simultaneously. In particular, he intrigues the reader with two love affairs, which unfold against the background of confrontation between the church representatives and the main heroes (Grey 152). Grey sustains the atmosphere of intrigue by implanting minor events that contribute to the overall mood. For instance, the reader tries to answer the query about the connection between Oldring and Bess and the identity of the “Masked Rider” while anticipating the further development of love stories (Grey 68). These events are accompanied by detailed descriptions of the area. The author uses his descriptive ability to help readers find themselves in the Wild West observing sage bushes and canyon (Grey 304). This factor contributes greatly to the intense development of the plot in which scenes change rapidly to produce emotional tension. Also, it can be assumed that the author intentionally allows the villains to succeed in some parts of the story to make the reader sympathize and support the main char
Introduction A “visit to Grandpa’s” is a story by Dylan Thomas, featured in the “Harrap book of modern short stories,” published in 1956. It portrays the artist as a child, and the close relation he develops with the country side of Wales, at an English village, characteristic with the twentieth century literature. The book also presents the way the artist felt about the experiences he associated to the place. The story is greatly connected to the artist’s life, and the experiences he would develop after growing up. With reference to the artist’s life, a comparison is built, relating their experiences with those of the memory of the reader, about their childhood experiences. The story offers immense attention on the characters and the atmosphere, towards developing the narration, which are linked to the appearing situations and atmosphere. 1 The artist also uses the experiences of dreams, which are used towards the development of the meaning of the story. The story, generally, centers on explicating how an adult reader still comprehends the problems and the feelings presented through child memories, as presented through the child story. This paper is an explicative account of the concept expressed through the story, including comparisons, references to the English village, and what the feelings of the Grandpa and how the end of the story are developed. 2 Discussion The concept of the author lies behind the blending of atmosphere, characterization and narration, towards the development of a captivating life story. These three areas of reality and abstraction are blended together, to present the memories of the artist as a child, depicting their childhood memories and the experiences of their early years. The concept of Dylan, further, lies in creatively presenting his home place, Wales, in a way that will make the reader see and feel the truth that the author experienced. The artist’s creativity is not only represented in the way he portrays his home place, but also the way that he presents the characters of his masterpiece. The artist’s creative secret of the characters of the story lies in his ability to use them without introducing them, like the norm is for many stories. The author, simply, goes ahead to introduce them, without considerably, taking the pain to develop them, which is not expected from any story, but a style that works so well for his work. Throughout his creative story, the only character which is considerably developed, which can be comprehended in a clear manner, is that of Dylan himself. 3 Further, the character Dylan is the narrator, which shows that the writing style used is quite liberal. It can also be argued that the work revolves around liberal creativity, where the character Dylan, who is narrating the story, presents what they are able to remember and what they observed. 4 Under characterization, the art
