In the world today, people obtain goods and services by buying them for cash, credit or by borrowing from their friends. Different countries in the world can obtain goods and services from other countries through offering them credit facilities then later on demanding for their repayment after a specified period of time. Credit refers to the money that is borrowed from the financial institutions or from friends so as that the purchaser of the goods and services may obtain them and later on pay back all the money that has been borrowed at a given period of time. A person is said to have a good credit history when he can honor credit repayment agreements as per the agreements that have been made. A contemporary economy addresses the economic problems that affect the operations of an organization that are in various parts of the world through using the following methods such as the theoretical and empirical perspectives. The economic policies and reform are implemented within an organization so as to solve the economic problems that may occur within an organization.Incase there is increased usage of the international currencies by the countries when carrying out their transactions then economic policies can be implemented so as to prevent the problems from happening in the future.

The first major takeaway from this week’s reading is the complex role nature of parenting. As a preschool teacher, I had an opportunity to witness the massive impact created by parental roles personally. According to Gestwicki (2016), parents fulfill various roles, ranging from workers to consumers and nurturers. I can confirm that many parents are virtually consumed, even overwhelmed by these roles. The constant deficit of time and possible conflicts between the roles create immense pressure on parents. Raising a child in good conditions is costly, which often forces parents to prioritize the worker’s role. However, emphasizing work sometimes leads to a lack of attention to the educator’s role, which can also hurt a child. In a way, I feel that my professional duty as a preschool education worker lies in helping those parents and their children. Secondly, I can confirm the emotional responses and attachment types associated with parenting, as I have seen them in my work. Gestwicki (2016) described the following attachment types: secure, anxious-ambivalent, and anxious-avoidant. As a preschool teacher, I have to be especially caring and comforting while working with children who demonstrated anxious-ambivalent and anxious-avoidant behavior. From my perspective, such behavior is a warning signal, which has to be taken seriously and corrected by the teacher’s actions. Finally, this week’s reading provided a list of reasons for parenthood, which define it as an emotional experience. People perceive children as an expansion of self, try to fulfill moral obligations, look for affection and fun, or follow certain achievements (Gestwicki, 2016). In regard to my work, I think that some of these reasons may lead to harmful consequences for a child. For instance, I feel that pushing a child into disliked activities to satisfy the parent’s ambitions is a traumatizing experience for a child. As such, an educational worker should communicate with parents and warn them if they spot any troubling signs. Parents may be responsible for a child’s upbringing; however, that responsibility does not turn a child into a property object. Reference Gestwicki, C. (2016).

Television shows can be classified into views of the society towards women and they relate to each other. There are common patterns in most television shows. To start with, it is evident that most television shows relating to use women bodies as an attractive and catchy features to viewers as well as men as violent people. They also use humor features in almost all the shows. This television shows require total concentration from the watcher and as such no activity can be expected from them. They also makes people become addictive and therefore it captures all attention and interests of the watcher. This makes people inactive in other important aspects of life that are fundamental for their empowerment. I feel that the time people spend on such television shows is the sacrificed time for movements and therefore they become less active. Prison break television show have therefore affected the behavior of people negatively by encouraging them to assume violent behavour that may not acceptable in some societies. When people watch violent show shows like prison break, they are likely to have less thinking when choosing relating to each other. It is possible for an average American child to watchover two hundred violent shows over television for one year. The frequency of the television shows is a pattern that is interesting to monitor in the shows watched. The shows are more than any other programs on our screens. This is the same trend across the various channels and stations that showed different shows. This frequency is meant to capture the attention of the audience and keep the viewers focused on the television channel. Some of these shows require callers to contribute making them glued to programs. Direct-call shows contrast with the general shows in terms of their goals. The aim of direct calling is to capture attention of the audience without having to intermediary connections. It presents the audience with the opportunity to contribute directly with show organizers. Prison break show depicts prison as a place that reflects how people are defined by their role and function in society. Michael and friends have a role in prison, but they both learn that adjusting to society reveals their true lack of freedom. The film reveals that people, like society, are institutional in nature, and hence they cannot define who they are outside the role given to them by society. In that sense, the prison represents how people are imprisoned by society as even their sense of freedom is inseparable from the boundaries of social roles. Prison life reflects how people must continuously adapt to evolving circumstances that define the larger institution of society. Some turn to corruption in order to survive change while others turn to friendship and loyalty in order to achieve redemption. The show depicts the prison as places in which prisoners such as Michael can find a means to interact with others and create friend to assist him learn away. Michael has a functional role in the prison as the other prisoners view him as influential and reliable. The depiction of the prison is r
Introduction The Fourth Amendment was created to protect individuals from illegal searches and to feel secure against the abuse of the police, the army and other authority figures who may barge into homes, offices and schools without a warrant. It is not only the person who is protected against illegal apprehension but it also covers individual rights against the illegal seizures of property, papers, and effects (Smith, ). For centuries this law has provided protection from tyranny and the need of some law enforcers to go beyond the boundaries given by law. Moreover, the Fourth Amendment also includes the right to privacy. After the September 11 terrorist attack as well as the proliferation of mobile technology and the notoriety of Youtube there are fresh challenges to the Fourth Amendment. This paper will show that the Fourth Amendment does not need a major overhaul to increase surveillance and intelligence gathering activities. When the United States was established more than two hundred years ago, it was the result of a mighty struggle. Patriots and freedom fighters laid their lives on the line to secure American independence and when they decided to draft a Constitution to govern the Union, the memory of oppression and tyranny was still fresh in their minds and so the Fourth Amendment declares: The right of the people to secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized (Smith, ) This law is easy to apply when it is limited to illegal search and seizures particularly in the context of a policeman apprehending a person without probable cause. But when it comes to privacy rights the use of technology to capture the person’s face on camera and digitally record a person’s voice and then upload to Youtube, the interpretation of this particular law becomes troublesome. There is a need to understand how to balance privacy rights and the need to secure this country from terrorist attacks. Mobile Phones and Cameras The first argument is with regards to capturing images and videos from a mobile phone and then turning around to upload it to Youtube. According to legal experts, there is no violation of the Fourth Amendment and asserted that “The Fourth Amendment provides no protection for what a person knowingly exposes to the public. Like a man’s facial characteristics, or handwriting, his voice is repeatedly produced for others to hear” (Lectric Law, ). As long as the images were captured in public there is no violation of the law. Even if the images were captured inside the home or of
Punjabi is a specific area located in the region of five rivers. This is a particular area of Pakistan and northern India with the oldest culture which has been distributed all over the countries. Speaking about the cultural peculiarity of the place, it is important to start with the language. Frankly speaking, the place does not contain one language as there are a lot of dialects. Saraiki/Multani, Dogri and Pothohari/Pothwari are the largest accents in the rejoin, however, they are not the only and there are officially more that 20 dialects. Those who know Arabic and Persian state that Punjabi accent is a combination of those two languages. Punjab women are treated specifically as being Eastern area, the tradition and religious canons require from women specific behavior. Religious aspect is important in considering the culture of the area. Punjabi follows three main religions, Islam, Sikhism, and Hinduism. However, this is not the whole list and there are many religions which are pursued in small regions of the area. Islam, Sikhism, and Hinduism are similar religions, however, there are a lot of differences there. Marriage is not just the registration of a new family, it is a specific event which is to be followed in accordance with the cultural needs. Marriage may have differences depending on the religious peculiarities. In most cases, Punjabi marriage is full of customs and traditions which are to be followed. Even nowadays, when Western culture has penetrated into the smallest parts of the world having changed the perspectives and visions of many events, marriage in Punjabi still remains a sacred and purely traditional issue. For example, Jaggo is a specific tradition which insists on women going at night to the neighbors and waking them up, singing and dancing to them, the day before the marriage. This is like the announcement to the wedding and an invitation to it. Cuisine is one more reflection of a culture. Speaking about Punjabi, the cuisine of this area is distinguished from other cultural meals by species. Punjab cuisine is very spicy. Each of the products is prepared under particular technique, therefore, the distinguishing feature is in the number and the nature of species. Many people have not got used to Punjab cuisine are unable to eat it due to pepper and other hot species, such as paper and others. Finally, speaking about Punjab culture, it is impossible to avoid cloths. The tradition of clothes is too particular. National dresses and suits for women presuppose absence of short skirts. Punjabi Salwar Kameez is one of the well-known suits for women in Punjabi culture. Even though Western culture effects Punjabi area and many cultural aspects have changed under its influence, the main characteristics of traditional Punjabi clothing has not changed. Finally, speaking about Punjabi and its culture, it should be stated that ye recent changes are connected with the intrusion of the Western culture, however, this specific are has conserved the specifics of the
Discoveries, Revelations and Impressions A presentation concerning accounting and finances was provided by Dr. Ebenezer. In his presentation, Dr. Ebenezer provided a brief overview of the phenomenon of financial accounting, as well as the process known as operational accounting. The presented identified the key functions of FA and the means of carrying out the procedure within an organisation. Though the issues related to finances and accounting are traditionally perceived as “dry,” the lecture provided by Dr. Ebenezer seemed really enthralling to me. I was literally captured by the new and exciting facts about the phenomenon of accounting, the possibilities that it opens for a businessman, and the benefits that a company may obtain with the choice of a proper accounting strategy. Particularly, the fact that financial accounting is opposed to operational accounting was quite a surprise for me. Before reading the lecture, I had no idea that the concept of FA had any phenomenon to oppose it to begin with. The resulting discovery of to two phenomena and the way, in which they completed the concept of accounting, made me feel that eventually some light has been shed on the issue. The consequences of understanding the specified detail are beyond impressive – by using only FA in my practice, I would suffer considerable losses because of the lack of focus on the internal users 1 . The idea of taking huge losses, which may even exceed an organisation’s revenues (e.g., around $ 500,000 from the lack of attention to the knowledge management issues), literally made be relieved that I have acquired this essential piece of information. The concept of financial accounting can be related to the Positive Accounting Theory. Allowing for an identification of the methods of accounting that lead to maximising the company’s profits, the specified theory strikes me as truly brilliant. Suggested in 1990s as the means to explore the methods of accounting further and increase revenues, the specified theory, in fact, allows for improving the performance of a company to an impressive extent. The theory in question seems especially viable once the material covered in the lecture is integrated into it. Indeed, by including both the processes related to the financial transactions, and the ones that concern organisational behaviour, into the accounting strategy, one will be able to predict the efficacy of specific actions taken by the company with huge precision. 2 The presentation in question has clearly affected my decision-making strategies. Impressed beyond belief by the information concerning two types of accounting, I will necessarily make sure that the methods for both are well developed in the organisation that I will work for. The possibilities, which the use of efficient accounting strategies with regard to the two accounting types opens, enthral me, and I feel very enthusiastic about my future professiona
Many businesses nowadays are required to change constantly. Positive change is directly associated with succeeding in overcoming new challenges. However, sometimes businesses are required to change quickly and dramatically. When a company demonstrates consistent underperformance, it indicates the need for corporate renewal. This is where the concept of a turnaround emerges. When a company “turns around,” it undertakes serious and profound modification of its operation, internal structure, and strategies to adequately respond to the new circumstances of the market. Turnarounds are difficult, especially to big, long-standing businesses because their previously established complicated internal systems normally resist to changes (Shein 65). Gap Inc., which was a highly popular and successful brand in the 1990s, experienced a decline in the early 2000s, and then returned to high-performance rates, can be regarded as an example of a turnaround. Gap Inc. had earned popularity and a solid reputation as an “American style” brand in the 1990s (Joslin et al. 3). It launched a series of new lines of products that demonstrated improvements in financial performance every time. However, the decline was even sharper than the rise. According to analysts, customers rapidly became much less interested in Gap Inc.’s products. This situation required the corporation’s leaders and senior managers to consider turnaround strategies. Paul Pressler, the new CEO appointed in 2002, as well as the one appointed after him in 2007, was determined to implement turnaround strategies (Shein 84). One of the first turnaround activities undertaken in the framework of these strategies was to improve online communication. Gap Inc. rebuilt its websites (for Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy) and pursued more than serving its clients with simplicity, increased speed, and improved comfort (which are normally the goals of rethinking corporate online communication): it pursued enhancing the online presence, which means enhancing visibility. Other elements of the turnaround strategy were widening the target audience (opening a store primarily aimed at women older than 35) and broadening the choice of products that the brand offered (opening an online shoe store). Gap Inc. was striving to reach out to more people. The extensively facilitated growth brought by Pressler can be considered the tipping point of the corporation’s turnaround. Another aspect of the turnaround was the effort made to develop the company internationally. Gap Inc. was trying to increase its visibility and promote its American style clothes to foreign target audiences, which was a turnaround, too, from traditional domestic distribution. Criteria that can be considered in determining whether the company, in fact, performed a turnaround, include financial performance and perception at the
To compose detailed and effective patient profiles, clinic professionals note the important information on the patient’s state. It is necessary to note (1) the patient’s age and (2) ethnicity. The information on (3) the patient’s primary language and (4) profession should also be noted. To complete the patient’s profile, the nurse needs the information on (5) the history of the present illness, (6) used medications, (7) observed allergies, (8) past medical and surgical history, (9) facts of the personal and (10) family history, (11) immunization history, and (12) subjective complaints. To do the assessment, the clinic focuses on such significant components as (1) the subjective data provided by the patient on his or her (a) physical state, (b) complaints, and (c) past medical history. The data also depends on the character of the problem. For instance, to provide the assessment related to the women’s health, it is necessary to ask the patient about such details as the menstrual, pregnancy, and STI (sexually transmitted infections) history (Schuiling & Likis, 2013, p. 112). The next important component is (2) the objective data received as a result of the physical examination. The practitioner assesses the patient in relation to such criteria as (a) vital signs, (b) HEENT (Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat) examination, and (c) cardiovascular assessment . While referring to the needs of the community of Chester, PA, it is important to note that there are details in the approach to composing the patient profile which can be addressed in the clinic in order to contribute to providing more effective care. The community is not characterized by significant cultural diversity because the prevalent population is African Americans. However, race and language should be fixed clearly in the profile in order to avoid ethical and moral issues. Furthermore, the high unemployment rate is also connected with the community members’ health issues. That is why the information about the person’s employed/unemployed status should be added to the profile form. More attention should be paid to the family and personal history facts in order to predict and fix associated health problems ( Chester, PA: City Data , 2014). Thus, the patient profile meets the community’s needs because it asks for detailed information on the patient’s history, but certain aspects should be noted in order to improve the used patient profile form. The assessment used in the clinic is effective to meet the needs of the community representatives because much attention is paid to examining the patient’s state in relation to vital s
Innovation and design Strengths The company has a veteran fashion manager as a chief executive capable of sustaining its Italian heritage to appeal to customers in new countries where its corporate strategy has conducted a brand extension. It insists on hand engraving everything, and that is a good attribute for a luxury product that should be sustained in addition to being communicated along its advertisements to appeal to customers. Weakness The company has made a bold move to step outside its comfort zone and expand its supply chain management attributes. It is now working with Swiss movement manufacturers for producing simple movements and grand complications for its watches. The swish partnership is important for innovation and design, especially after the company decided to have customers take part in its design initiatives of making their Swiss-made timepieces. Opportunity Buccellati has insisted on having its wares designed by the founding family of the company, which places its design in a unique market position in the luxury sector for jewelry. The company can continue to use its workmanship as an influence on the price of its products. Threats The design concept only retains the exclusivity part where the company is associated with a few customers, however, mass outsourcing of handcrafting it going to hurt the brand. Branding Strengths Bucccellati targets upper earning groups in society and most people who are brand conscious. It targets women with class, but also appeals to everyone’s interest in gift giving for different occasions. Another careful strategy for the company has been brand marketing, where the company refuses to lend its necklaces and broaches to actresses who walk the red carpets at famous film conventions like the Oscar ceremony or the Cannes film festivals. Weakness The company is not advertising itself much to increase global awareness. Thus, it is not communicating with those that it is not targeting. Initially, Buccellati was known for being family designed, and Italian made. The Swiss connection and the customer designs go against this formula, and they make the brand more responsive to customer wishes. If this strategy continues, Buccellatti will no longer stay as a luxury brand because it is not defining luxury, but relying on customers to define it (DeMarco, 2014). Opportunity Tradition will help to improve the relationship between the brand and customer’s perceptions of being special and wanting to associate with such brand personality. Occupying iconic buildings known for their attraction for luxury brands is a good move that can help give customer satisfaction for associating with the Buccellati brand. Threats After selling majority shares to a private equity group, the corporate strategy of the firm changed, and it has embraced aggressive brand extension. Unfortunately, keeping up with the introduction of bespoke watches, engagement rings and high-tech jewelry for mobile devices can be very innovativ
