Migrations can be discussed as the most remarkable characteristics of the modern world which development is influenced by the globalization processes. The USA is the classic country of immigration where immigrants form one of the significant categories of the country’s population. However, the question of the role of immigrants in the U.S. social and economic life is still controversial. A lot of people are inclined to discuss the tendencies of increasing the number of immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, as the negative factor for the U.S. progress. These viewpoints are predominately based on the social biases which are connected with the situation of illegal immigration. Nevertheless, the negative public opinion toward immigrants in relation to the economic and social issues cannot be justified because the controlled processes of immigration in the USA have many advantages for the country’s economic and social development when the negative vision of the phenomenon can be explained by the prejudice developed in the society. Migrations are the processes of the people’s movement from some territories to the other lands, and these movements depend on the question of satisfying the people’s needs at this or that territory. Many historical processes are based on migrations, and it is unreasonable to reject the fact of the migrations’ impact on the development of the receiving territory. The first settlers at the territories of the modern USA were immigrants. Today, the processes of immigration do not stop because the developed country’s economy and high life standards attract more immigrants every year. This process has many advantages which are studied in the field of the economics of immigration. Thus, immigration is the source of the high-skilled persons and professionals who are necessary for the development of the country’s science and technology sphere and industry. Moreover, many economic sectors are based on the cheap labor of workers who are immigrants. The main problem of this process is in the fact of employers’ hiring illegal immigrants with paying them comparably lower wages. However, this question does not influence Americans directly, and it is important to be examined from the point of the immigration policy. The Americans’ negative reaction to the situation is often based on the lack of understanding the cultural differences between them and immigrants. It is important to note that millions of immigrants live in the USA permanently, have working visas or undocumented. Many immigrants from Latin America and Asia, and they can affect the cultural diversity of the society significantly. That is why, a lot of negative reactions to immigrants in the USA are provoked by cultural differences, misunderstandings, and biases. In spite of the fact immigrants developed the notion of freedom in the USA, today a lot of Americans are not free from biases toward immigrants who live and
In the story “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Gilman uses several elements of Gothic fiction such as dreams, suspense, horror, and the supernatural. The setting of the story in an isolated location, on an estate that is debilitating, is often used in Gothic settings to create ghostly and scary tones. The story centers on two important themes, psychology and Gothic fiction, due to its highly exhaustive and psychologically thrilling account of depression and desolation. The incorporation of elements such as horror and suspense gives the story a Gothic feel. The portrayal of the narrator’s plunge into madness and depression, resulting in abnormal behavior, marks it as a classic feminist Gothic tale. Gilman uses horror and suspense in the cautionary tale to demonstrate the effect of the supposed ‘rest cures’ on the mental state of a patient. The suspense surrounding the slow mental deterioration of the unnamed narrator of the story in a nursery provides scary tones. She glimpses some patterns and sub-patterns of a figure, which is “strange, provoking, formless” only in “certain lights” (Gilman, 488). The zenith of creepiness, horror, and suspense in the final scene is achieved when the narrator creeps and crawls along the floor on all her fours. The ‘rest cure’ treatment was given to women in the 19 th century as a way to treat postpartum depression. Women would be imprisoned for months and were not allowed to engage in intellectual activities like reading and had to practice restraint in physical and mental activity. However, with the advent of theories and therapies developed by Freud, Carl Jung, and Adler, there was a better understanding of the female hormonal system, and sensitive treatments were developed to cure postpartum depression. The Yellow Wallpaper describes the violation of the rights of women in the 19 th century.

Introduction The book “First Nations in the Twentieth Century” by James Frideres offers some useful insights about the experience of the Aboriginal people in Canada. According to Frideres (24), scholars and historians view colonisation and decolonisation as social processes. These social processes result in the cultural change. The processes affected the experience of the natives. The book goes further to explain how the First Nations survived the consequences of colonisation. As Frideres (21) indicates, the indigenous people of Canada experienced a sudden cultural shock after colonisation. Majority of the colonialists treated the Aboriginals as individuals without their own moral, social, and cultural values. My Personal Reflection Some of the people’s cultural beliefs and practices survived many years of colonisation. Such aspects eventually became part of the Canadian culture. The class readings explain in details why some of the First Nations continued to promote their cultural practices. The First Nations were unable to lead a normal life due to the endless oppression and victimisation. According to Frideres (53), most of these groups lost their cultural identities. After several decades of colonisation, a new wave of intergenerational trauma emerged thus affecting the experiences and social positions of the natives. According to Frideres (46), the First Nations re-fashioned their society despite the challenges and obstacles affecting them in the country. The 2011 Canadian Census also indicated that Canada had over 60 active Aboriginal languages. The census divided these languages into twelve distinct groups. The census indicated that Canada was a diverse country because of these cultural practices. The census also indicated that over 213,000 people were using various languages to communicate with each other. Some of the cultural groups identified during the census include
Introduction The marketing campaign for movie Sex and the City focuses on the routine of observing four main heroines interacting with each other and forwarding their own personal vision of perfect life, should it imply as many shoes that can be held in the closet or a loving man following hard on woman’s heels. One way or another, the film campaign is confined to selling lifestyles, which entail fashion, clothes, behavior, and habits (Smith 2008). The emergence of trailers and posters of the movie relies predominantly on glamorous representation of femininity, as well as carefree lifestyle of all protagonists. Exploring Patterns of Consumption Lifestyle habits and behavior of the leading characters are confined to purchasing and alcohol consumption patterns. Buying habits are brightly represented by Carrey who plans to get marry and hires a wedding assistant to choose a designer’s dress. This moment in the movie strongly correlates with advertising brands and designers of dresses. Apart from selling clothes as an integral marketing concept of the movie, patterns of alcohol consumption are also among the most spread ones in the movie. These behavioral trends correspond to the representation of power, independent woman, similar to Samantha, who takes everything she wants from life. Identifying the Audience As it has been stressed, the movie focuses on various representations of feminine lifestyle and, therefore, it certainly addresses female audiences who search for self-expression and self-determination. In their turn, the male audience is rigidly opposed and even ignored because male characters are represented in the movie as the tools for achieving various purposes and performing various functions that women dictate. Although the movie does not exempt men from the film audience overtly, it still ignores discussing the film plot from the male perspective. Therefore, women as the target audience will receive much more pleasure from watching the film because it is also about fashion, relationship, friendship, and women’s life. Main Discussion Exploring Film Culture The popularity of film Sex and the City has led to significant shifts in lifestyle, habits, and consumption patterns. The movie producers have released a number of posters, trailers, and marketing campaigns advertising these cultural trends and integrating new outlooks on feminist ideal. In particular, the film aims “…to empower women and remind them that they did not have to sacrifice the beauty of being feminine women, for that of having a career” (Zendejas 2). It is possible to strike the balance be
Introduction The main feature of the modern world economy is globalization, which has a decisive impact on global business development. This article analyzes various aspects of globalization that are characteristic of business both within the country and abroad. It also reflects the main differences in the processes of doing business, touches on ethical problems that may arise. Types of Business Environments Domestic business is defined as existing restrictions; international business is not limited and goes beyond the country. Local businesses facilitate limited exchanges between people in a given country, while international companies operate in many countries (Djelic, 2018). Meanwhile, domestic enterprises do not perceive too many warnings or strict requirements for product quality (Thorbecke, 2019). International companies must maintain very high-quality standards of the products or services offered. Example Organizations Google’s parent firm, Alphabet, acquired its Delaware incorporation registration and is registered as a foreign entity in California. When compared to, for instance, Huawei, a Chinese technology company, Alphabet is a decidedly domestic organization (Djelic, 2018). A domestic corporation is one that operates entirely inside its native nation. On the other hand, international organizations such as Huawei cover multiple countries, which is why such businesses are regulated depending on the states in which the entity operates. Benefits of Expansion Entering the foreign opens up almost limitless opportunities for business development. An example that is relevant is how the oil production in Saudi Arabia, a country with significant reserves, can supply the demand of multiple countries and affect the pricing of the oil worldwide (Thorbecke, 2019). The development of new markets makes it possible to significantly increase sales volumes and regulate seasonal fluctuations (Djelic, 2018). Another advantage is the increase in the currency resources of the exporting company. Ethical Considerations Even when a corporation meets all local legal standards, wages and working conditions in other countries are typically lower than those in the United States. If a company recruits people there, they must decide what wage and working conditions are appropriate (Djelic, 2018). Thus, the appropriate way is to develop corporate rules while integrating into the local economy. Conclusion Globalization is a new qualitative level of internationalization that covers all spheres of modern society: production, exchange, distribution, consumption, social, political, and cultural relations, developing them in breadth and depth. It is worth noting that as a result of globalization, supranational forms of industrial relations are being created. Reference Djelic, M. L. (2018). Globalization and business regulation.

The field of cinema is made up of some media which include; motion pictures, film and movies.The history of cinema, also known as film, traces back to over one hundred years ago from the beginning of the 19 th century to date. The cinema has been its development from its abstract form and today it is the most important means of communication. Since its innovation, motion pictures have a huge impact on arts, technology and politics. This paper discusses the significance of early cinema for our study of the history of the cinema. In cinema development, the most significant endeavor has been to recreate and present reality through various artistic means which have been developed in line with cinema technology. In art history, we get to learn that cinema was not invented overnight and thus, it is a product of a gradual accumulation of insight and the technology which was available at different times. The early cinema evaluation in cinema history takes the learner through the pioneering work of many people who inspired Auguste and Louis Lumière to come up with a Cinématographe system, which presented moving pictures in 28 December 1895. Cinema historians has it that there were many inventions which preceded Cinématographe such as the moving image projections and shadow plays, which traces their origin in Java and India thousand years ago. These included creating a silhouette by manipulating some leather puppets using rods and placed beyond a translucent material. The technology of shadow plays has been adopted, effected and fitted into today’s cinema and are being used. After this technology of shadows; there was the invention of the magic lantern which was made from a box, a candle which could be enclosed inside and a drawn image. From this invention, there was still the element of projection which is still in use today. The magic lanterns became more prevalent in the 19 th century and they came with sophistication as they deployed a number of lenses. This technology became very popular and the lanterns were present in most parts of the
Okafor (2007) presents that depending on the particulate domains on which one is practicing, the responsibilities of a supervisor are distinct and multi-faceted. The scholar notes that supervision functions on human relation curriculum decisions, instructional strategies, personnel enrichment, and development, as well as evaluation, among other aspects. He further expresses that in a learning or educational environment, supervision is a general function that harmonizes and manages the activities pertaining to learning.” Glickman (1990) defines Instructional supervision as a process that is adopted in the means to improve instruction for the benefit of students. This model in teaching practice evolved from the clinical supervision model in the 1960s, which according to Glickman (1990), entails a low-risk step by step and somewhat elementary process in achieving set educational goals and objectives. The scholar notes that in the practice of clinical supervision, there is an allowance for a variety of supervisory approaches deemed feasible for the accomplishments of set academic or education objectives and goals. The thrust of instructional supervision is focused on the growth of education practitioners such as educators instead of mere compliance, which characterizes clinical supervision. The thrust is also based on teacher collaboration which is distinguishable by continuous and reflective inquiry. (Dull L.W; 1981)The theoretical and conceptual domain instructional has evolved from clinical supervision be reach and packed framework embracing aspects such technical skills of the supervision process, assessment, planning, research, and observation. The domain also enlists aspects of program evaluation as well educator evaluation. From another angle, Cogan, M.L. (1973) notes that the evolution from clinical instructional practice has seen the development of associative aspects such as direct assistance, peer coaching, and group development as well as action research as inalienable and hallmarks of the education theoretical evolution. Clinical supervision is an approach in which the supervisor is involved in a close and helping relationship. In education, confines supervision entails the reception of information by a teacher from a colleague who has observed the teacher’s performance functioning as a reflection from the teacher may critically evaluate and likely modify their professional practice. Glickman (1990), in the typical premise of the foregoing, concepts and ideas are shared, and assistance is off red to improve or enhance the teacher’s ability through, and evaluation of objective data gathered in the course of an observation. The characteristics of clinical supervision and its evolution into instructional supervision can be well deciphered in consideration of the etymology of the terminology. The
Individuals can take causes of action against the church if they feel that the church has not acted in good faith or in contrary to the law. An individual can sue the church for defamation and invasion of privacy. This can happen if the church advices other people to shun an individual because of deliberately rejecting the doctrines of the church. This is well exemplified by the Paul vs Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York. If the church signs an agreement with an individual and fails to live up to the requirements of the agreement then the concerned individual can take legal action against the church for breach of agreement. In the case of Andrew Lee vs Church of Scientology, the plaintiff took a cause of action accusing the church of malice and oppression. The church can also be sued by an individual is it carries out practices and rituals to a minor without obtaining the consent of the custody parents. In such a case the parents can accuse the church for malice and misrepresentation. The act of a church towards an individual making him or her suffer from emotional tension can also result in a court case in which the church can be sued fro inflicting emotional distress on the concerned individual. Legal action should be taken against the church for inflicting emotional distress on the parents of Rob Jr.This can be argued in the light of the church taking advantage of the minor to brain wash him and making it look as if his parents were not giving the child the right advice and direction. The fact that the church undermined the parents of the child means that the church made them suffer emotionally. The church can be said to have disregarded the Childs sensitivity to emotional distress in the parents. The child was ignorant of the fact that the child would not feel to have caused emotional problems in the parents. Another cause of action against the church would be that of using undue influence to gain control over the child decisions. It is clear that such a child was not in a position to make sound informed decisions concerning his life. The church therefore must have taken advantage of the child and tricking him into staying in the church for all that time against the will of the parents. Action may also be taken against the church for inciting RobJr against the parents. By advising the child to write a letter to the parents telling them that the church was his new family is an indicator that the child had been tricked and incited against his legal parents. This goes against the law and therefore action has to be taken against the church and they have to compensate the parents for
This is a comprehensive connection or information of an individual; family origin in sort of descending order like a chain of command. This contains genetic factors that can allow in-depth study of isolated cases. It is known that genograms can help an expert make some useful discoveries and recognize some reoccurring or resemblance from a family tree. Information that is found could be used to shape the present circumstances of individual intelligence. Research obtained has shown that genogram may be given by any family link with a clear history of their system. Medics who perform individual inquiries on family members use some diagrams to help decode the genogram. In many cases, it is an individualistic view. Intergenerational patterns and themes on genograms have a tangible presentation of statistical happenings of a family tree that may contain natural behaviors in a lifetime. There is a very crucial stage in family life that must be tackled with great concern and total consciousness. This is a stage where an individual needs to select his or her partner in life. This is the most fundamental juncture that determines the rest of the whole family tree. In many different parts of the world, this stage differs from place to place. Like some countries, many societies still depend on the traditional methods of partner selection. This is done mainly by either a very close member of the family or extended relations; where an aunt is steadily involved in inmate search and during this process several comparisons are done. There are situations that parents are deeply involved in their children’s life partners. Studies from the United States have shown that this issue of spouse selection is now left mainly to individuals. The present digital world has great impacts concerning romantic relationships; especially mass communication and such related contact fields. This area of searching for a partner has some long-term and comprehensive genetic behavior. The coming together of two individuals brings different backgrounds that can reshape and channel new behavioral changes that will take effect in a family genogram. Research has found out that some factors will mainly predict conjugal value. It is believed that age issue, educational background, and maybe in some cases, individual income has a total impact on the prediction of a quality marriage. Most studies are drawn far back from the family diagram giving a more comprehensive outline of the family generational structure It can be observed that there are family matters that may arise and be solved. Spouse involvement in solving current issues may also depend on parental experience on both sides of the marriage divide (Hickman et al 2004). The intergenerational procedure has some complexity on genograms. Some families do prefer outside involvement in solving issues and others manage on their own. There are dilemmas in a modern marriage that are brought about by high standards of expectations; that might be a nig
