Questions of family, marriage, mental development of the family’s personality are always relevant for humanity. A person is born, grows up, and most of his life is inextricably linked with the family. Happiness and a sense of fullness of life largely depend on family relationships. Socio-political and economic transformations have given rise to many different problems, the most important of which is the formation of a personality and a new generation in a changing society. Negative factors of the social and natural environment cause an increase in deviant forms of behavior in children and youth, an annual rise in crime, drug addiction, and suicide among children and youth of all age groups. Currently, the modern family is going through a difficult stage of the revolution – the transition from the traditional model to a new, modern one. The types of family relationships are changing. Many researchers characterize the current state of the family as a crisis (Levy, 2017). This is due to the objective processes of marriage and family relations in all economically developed countries in the system of systems, which entails a decrease in the birth rate, an increase in the number of divorces, and an increase in single people. One of the most important factors influencing a child’s self-esteem is family structure. This problem is also very relevant, as in the absence of one of the parents, children feel humiliated, unprotected, and deprived, which also negatively affects self-confidence. Children with one parent are the objects of ridicule and lead a closed life. These phenomena, of course, negatively affect the self-esteem of children. In an incomplete family, children do not feel protected entirely, including loved ones. Parents raising children alone do not show embittered. They do not show the love and care necessary for the child, which leads to the formation of a feeling of weakness, insignificance, and loneliness. It can reduce the child’s self-esteem to the limit and cause irreparable harm to psychological health. All of the above adversely affect the development and formation of the child. Mental development is continuous, and the child, like every person, needs self-preservation, protection, and self-improvement. At the same time, his system of relations with himself and those around him is formed. In the modern family, not only individual functions change. The lack of emotionally personal family members with children who are engaged in adult family members’ official employment is the cause of the children’s loneliness, despite his life among relatives and friends. The family, with its value orientations, peculiarities of interpersonal relations, all ways of life and style of life, directly or indirectly, to a greater or lesser extent, not only influences the formation of the child’s personality but also prepares the child for his future family life. In this regard, there is no doubt about the inclusion in the life of family introduction to work, participation in the preparation of family holidays, and joint leisure. Upbringing in the ability to be attentive, caring
Miss Representation is a documentary devoted to the complex topic of female image and function as presented by media. Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the director, emphasizes the fact that women nowadays accept objectification as a part of their social position and generally do not even try to struggle against such a humiliating perception of their bodies. This presentation partially accounts for the fact that so few women could be found in prominent positions of power and influence in the USA. In fact, I cannot say that Miss Representation is a unique feminist masterpiece as it does not tell the viewer anything new on the topic. Its message can be deduced by any intelligent person without watching documentaries: women are depicted as sex objects both on television and in cinematography. Besides, they aggravate the effect by accepting this role. Trivialization in the media deprives women of social respect, which makes it almost impossible for them to build a successful career, especially in politics, where reputation is an issue of paramount importance. To my mind, one of the most interesting points Miss Representation has is the analysis of women who achieved high positions despite the societal pressure. Although the movie offers statistical data to support its ideas, it is still rather generic. However, for me, it was a useful refreshing material in feminism. It reminded me that no matter how much women have already advanced in their struggle for equality, they still stand lower than men in the social hierarchy for a whole number of historical and political reasons. It was an incentive for me to reconsider how much I am influenced by the media in terms of gender role shaping. I am not a proponent of TV mentality, but I acknowledge that it still has an impact on my vision. To my mind, both men and women are subjected to biasing and have to meet certain requirements if they want to be successful and popular. For instance, women are expected to be sex-appealing, silly, always good-spirited, bitchy, and family-oriented at the same time. Men must be sportive, active, enthusiastic, career-oriented, and financially independent. Otherwise, they are perceived as losers or nerds. Thus, hyper-sexualized images promoted by mass media harm not only women but also men. However, it is rather understandable why they are used for commercial purposes. Practically all businesses exploit this as a purely psychological phenomenon: people are ready to buy anything from clothes to cars and houses if they feel that it can make them young, beautiful, sexy, sportive, and successful – exactly like those people they see in commercials. That is why, on the one hand, we can say that huge enterprises hold responsibility for the misrepresentation of women, but on the other hand, it is the society that accepts the standards of beauty and creates the demand. This brings us to the idea that every community needs role models in order to pursue some moral or phy
After departing from Palm Beach private airport in Fla., a plane with four missionaries from Flying Nuns onboard crashed near Biscayne Bay. Although the exact cause of the incident is unknown, the Federal Aviation Administration’s main version is that water in the gasoline tank caused the crash. The investigation revealed that the deceased pilot had sufficient experience and the region’s knowledge to complete the flight. The plane was also in good condition after a successful reparation, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. While there is much speculation about the crash in Biscayne Bay and its causes, there is little evidence on which theories can be based. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the incident cannot be attributed to the technical condition of the plane that Flying Nuns used. The aircraft underwent significant successful reparations shortly before the incident. Regarding the pilot, Alfred Car, he had all the needed ingredients to complete the flight – long experience in aircraft control and extensive knowledge of the region. Currently, the primary assumption is that water in the gasoline tank provoked the crash. The situation is still under investigation. After the destruction that Hurricane Dorian brought to the Bahamas Islands, Flying Nuns was established to help its underserved places. The organization functions in affiliation with Island Church in Grand Bahamas, by which it is also partially funded. Their last, as well as the other mission trips, were sponsored by Air on Time, a commercial air transport services company. The disaster has two casualties: Alfred Car, the pilot, and recently identified Jack Wilson, one of the missionaries. They were found dead shortly after the incident. Coast Guards divers pulled Car and Wilson out from the sunken plane half an hour after their arrival on the scene. The pilot worked for Air on Time and had his license for six years. Another two of the victims were initially pulled out of the water by fishermen from Miami, who were first to arrive at the place. The men regularly visited Biscayne Bay to fish there. Sister Jan and Sister Jane are among the disaster survivals. Although the nuns come from different backgrounds, they both have had previous experience working with refugees. Sister Jane worked with Mexican immigrants as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, and Sister Jan has a long history working with Cuban refugees and lived on the island until the 1980s. Moreover, Sister Jane is an experienced licensed pilot ready for long flights. The third missionary, the deceased Jack Wilson, participated in the organization as a part of his rehabilitation program after being sentenced for minor drug abuse. According to the organization, Wilson was a dedicated person wanting to turn his life around and its asset. Recently, a GoFundMe page was created to support Flying Nuns and collected 200,00 US dollars, where half of it comes from a single anonymous donation. The Biscayne Bay plane crash is open to further investigation.
Juvenile delinquency or youth crime is rampant in many parts of the world. This rise has led to the formation of special prisons, juvenile detention centers, and special juvenile courts where these underage offenders are tried and taken for correctional programs. Over the last few decades, the number of minors aged below 18 years committing crime has risen significantly (Steinberg, 2008). Among the many reasons cited to have led to high the number of cases of juvenile offending is divorce and single parenthood. Bringing up a child as a single parent is not usually sufficient enough to help a child develop in all spheres of life. Areas of development that will be adversely affected are social and emotional development. While divorce sometimes seems as the best option in some marriages, without proper care and guidance, it can leave emotional scars in both the parents and children that may affect them for the rest of their lives. Such children will feel depressed, angry and will try to feed the anger by hurting others or fill the void left by the departed parent by engaging in crimes. This is unlike most children with both parents who are more emotionally stable hence chances of engaging in crime for such reasons are limited. Thus, there is a connection between single parenthood and juvenile delinquency. A visit to any juvenile correction center will reveal a common but worrying trend: most of the minors held in these correctional centers come from single parent families. In the United States of America, app
What is “green” power? “Green’ power refers to the power that is formed from renewable, pollutant free, and harmless sources like breeze, biomass, spoilt materials, lunar, and geothermal (the high temperature of the earth)(Gipe 6). As the growth in manufacturing and utilization continues to go up, the dilapidation of the natural surroundings of the earth persists, since the challenge to extend maintainable employment of the natural resources has not so far been met. Due to this reason, technological modification of extensive degree is essential to reduce the reliance on substance resources, in order to maintain the surroundings, and protect the earth’s flora and fauna (Wilson 103). Wind power is one of the options that have been considered to be endorsed, to make sure a strong planet earth for age groups to come is established. The aim of this paper is to determine whether wind turbine is a feasible power source option in terms of “green”, economic friendliness, and its aptitude to produce considerable quantity of power. “Green” power, as any other power, has its advantages and disadvantages. The debate over whether to go “green” has been there for a long time, as others argue that it is more harmful than considered. The question then arises; will constructing the huge turbines generate a cleaner and safer energy base as contrasted to normal gases, petroleum, and energy plants? The benefits of wind power The advantage of using “green” energy is that natural possessions that are renewable are employed to generate more power without contaminating or harming the earth. This reduces the capacity of global warming as the rate of carbon dioxide release to the atmosphere, as well as the monetary impact that comes with energy utilization is reduced (Wilson 103). In wind energy, in contrast to nuclear and relic energy power plants, water is not required for cooling or producing electrical energy. The effects of wind power Wind power is considered as one way the environment will be harmed if it opts to “green”. One, it is considered as a way that will end many animals’ lives hence affecting the food chain for instance, rotating wind turbines kill drifting birds, bats, and human beings as well. Studies show that, every megawatt of fitted wind-power leads to the murdering of one to six birds, annually (Slattery 97). In addition, since many wind turbines are constructed in the coastlines, old turbines may leak oils in the water systems hence pollutin
Introduction Virgin is a top-labelled venture capital establishment that is among the world’s largely renowned and esteemed brands. Sir Richard Branson envisaged the Virgin group in 1970. It has since grown into incredibly successful businesses touching into various industries such as travel and transportation, mobile networks, financial and advisory services, music, media in addition to gym. Virgin has formed over 300 branded companies all over the world, which have employed about 50,000 people in around 30 nations (Glenn, 1998). Worldwide Virgin branded revenues surpassed 11.5 billion pounds, which is roughly US $18 billion. This paper seeks to discuss the strategic planning of Virgin Atlantic that will help it achieve organizational success. Company’s Mission and Vision Virgin Atlantic in its mission believes that safety, security, and dependable delivery are deep-seated foundations of the whole lot of what they do. It simply states, “To grow profitable airlines, where people love to fly and where people love to work” (Virgin Atlantic, 2009). The objectives are to identify the different stakeholders of the organization and their requirements towards the organization. Virgin therefore, aims at delivering quality service through employees’ empowerment and progress their customer’s experience by constantly seeking their feedback and through innovation. The vision of virgin Atlantic is to build equity that incorporate people-friendliness and creativeness, therefore targeting on coming up with an icon of innovation, value and fun. It is simply making difference. The goal is to re-enter the inactive markets or industries with fresh and innovative ideas as well as developments by offering customers diversified and wide variety of products. Core competencies of Virgin Atlantic include quality brand and image, branch out product and service portfolio, originality and creativity, excellent customer service as well as a distinctive organizational structure. For instance, Virgin is known for its quality offers for its business class clients outdoing first class services of its competitors (Virgin Atlantic, 2009). The strategic planning process Strategic planning determines where the organization is going to be in the coming years, how it will get there, and how it will determine the achievement of the objectives. There are a number of issues involved for instance a SWOT analysis, a plan, goals, objectives and an appropriate model. SWOT analysis should be carried out both internally and externally to enhance strategic decision-making (Pakhare, 2007). At internal level, the analysis helps in future planning as it articulates present operations. It can divulge trends, indiscretions, limitations, as well as opportunities. There should be a mission, which the organization is aligning with. There should also be well set goals and
Introduction Service marketing is a sub-component of the wide discipline of marketing. It essentially refers to B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Client) services that embrace the marketing of various services such as financial, telecommunication, air travel health care, literacy seminar services, and professional services among others. Marketing of a service is a new area of study, which is rapidly developing since the current world economies are exceedingly characterised by service economies. The growth is associated with the increased need and development of information sharing enabling technologies such as the development of web 2.0 applications, SMS, and social networking. This paper discusses marketing of literacy seminar services for mature students. These services entail leasing out books and other academic materials through online library checks for the availability of the books, which can then be physically collected from the library premises. An effort is made to discuss the potential customer base for these services and to evaluate strategies to create and manage relationships with all potential customers for the proposed services (including any internal marketing strategy) and communicating the service to the chosen group of customers including the creation of a service brand and image. Potential customer base for the service Identification of scope coupled with the target audience of marketing campaign is a substantial step in the success of the marketing strategies to push for acceptance of a service in the market (Broady-Preston & Steele 2002, p.385). While attempting to set online information literacy talks for mature students, the campaign can only reach people who are logged into the internet or who have accessibility to internet connection. Consequently, the main target audience that also forms the potential customer base for the services is the largely growing family of bloggers and people interacting through social media. With the increase in information availability and the development of the culture of information sharing, students at secondary and tertiary levels of education resort to the web as the first and the principle preferred source of information (Cmore & Chan 2009). This pool of people forms an immense potential clientele for literacy talk services. The main challenges of marketing literacy seminar services rest on looking for mechanisms of ensuring that, as the target audience seeks its preferred information, it is also able to link u
Introduction Straight Edge is a subculture embedded on the hardcore punk music, which is characterized by strict abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and other frivolous drugs. According to Muggleton (2000) Straight Edge subculture emerged as a result of direct reaction to profligacy and sexual recreation in the late 1970s. The Straight Edge movement comprises of youthful people seeking more freedom, as shown by their tendency to engage in doing forbidden things. As it has been observed, the Straight Edge subculture comprises of a way of life having its own ideologies, clothing fashion styles, music art, and literature (Haenfler, 2006). Diversity in religion is also explicit in the group’s members where some of them are followers of Christianity, while others follow the virtues of agnosticism. In Straight Edge subculture, music forms the realm of the group’s values as it is the fundamental basis of its ideology through the message conveyed through the lyrics. As reported by Wood (2006) the Straight Edge cultural group plays hardcore punk-rock tunes, though they have gone through various periods of rigorous alliance with punk musicians. One of the predominant popular symbols of the cutting edge sub-cultural group is “X”, which is worn as a tattoo or made on their clothing (Wooden and Blazak, 2001). It is also important to note that, Straight Edge group members are considered gangs by law enforcers, despite the minority of the group being identified as being violent. History of Straight Edge Subculture Straight Edge subculture has its origin in the late 1970s, and was characterized by shouted vocals and lyrics. The adherences of the Straight Edge movement constituted of white middle working class adolescents associated with punk ideals like individualism and live-for-the-moment lifestyles (Haenfler, 2006). Straight Edge outlooks can be found in lyrics of early 1980s pop group Minor Threat, most unequivocally in their lyric ‘Straight Edge’. The ‘Minor Threat’ band, which was led by singer Lan MacKaye, was the leader of the revolutionary music movement which advocated against drugs and sexual recreations. As noted by Wood (2006), the ultimate idea of the movement was evacuate drugs addition from the youthful society, and establish a strong basis for marriages where they advocated for abstinence from sex without love. The symbol “X’ was adopted by the group followers in the year 1985 when the group was reaching its extreme levels of hostility by the government. The reason why the group was being fought was due to the high likelihood of war emergence between the Straight Edge followers and the entire members of the society who violated the ideas of the group (Williams, 2004)
Since the economy of Saudi Arabia was historically based on international oil trade, it is one of the countries that were severely affected by the decrease in oil prices. Today, there are widespread fears that the country is moving towards a severe economic crisis, which will impair many people’s lives due to the rise in unemployment and living costs. However, some researchers believe that applying human capital theory to a struggling economy may promote its growth, thus alleviating its economic burden. This work aims to describe how targeting its human resources by implementing an appropriate human resource planning strategy can help the country grow and prosper. Saudi Arabia is a country that can be defined as both developing and commodity-dependent (Mikhin, 2016). The country’s reliance on the international trade of oil has helped it prosper at the end of the 20th century. Nevertheless, the decline in the oil prices affected life in Saudi Arabia in many ways: for instance, by increasing unemployment and living costs simultaneously. The current situation poses a significant risk for the future, as it is unclear whether or not the country will be able to take its place on the global oil market again nor what the future course of growth will be if the government decides that it is the time to choose a new direction (Grennes & Strazds, 2016). In this case, I believe that the management of human resources is a key to developing the country’s economy. As evident in the case study of Japan, a slow economy can have a substantial adverse effect on a variety of communities. Among those who are most affected by the crisis, however, are the young people who do not have a stable workplace. In the case study, Dooley (2013) explains that older people usually have stable jobs and income, whereas younger workers are more likely to experience struggles as a result of the recession. With the decrease in the number of workplaces available to the people, youths are at a higher chance of being unemployed and poor. An adequate human resources planning strategy, on the other hand, is designed to address the future needs of the country instead of merely answering to the current struggles. For instance, if the country were to divert from the traditional oil industry, more specialists would be required in other areas. As the need for innovation and creativity would arise, recent graduates would be needed to offer a fresh approach to issues. Creating a human resources strategy with a stable outlook for the future would help to identify goals, as well as to implement them. For example, if the country were to rely on recent graduates in the future, it would need to improve its approach to education now to make sure that the next generation of graduates answers to the country’s needs. Hanushek (2013) agrees with this point, stating that “Without improving school quality, developing countries will find it difficult to improve their long-run economic performance” (p. 1). Overall, I believe that
