Introduction Among the various economic sectors in the US, Agribusiness has remained a major contributor towards the country’s economy. It works as an important economic stimulus through creation of jobs as well as earning government revenue. Currently, agribusiness in U.S has taken international perspective. Many companies are involving themselves with exportation of farm produce to international market. FarmCo, has been very instrumental in this context. Currently, if has shifted its focus from domestic market where it has done very well and is now looking forward to expanding it’s market to China. FarmCo FarmCo is a private agribusiness company in U.S, based in Texas. The company deals with production of fruits and vegetables and it has over the past few years grown enormously. The company enjoys local market share but has currently decided to expand its market a little larger into the international platform.

Introduction The paper below focuses on the barriers to setting up a safari zoo in the UAE. The report seeks to identify how animal zoo may be effectively established and managed in the UAE. Through this, the study will identify the animals that are more likely to be comfortable in the zoo. Similarly, the study will highlight on how the zoo should be modified to ensure that the animals’ wellbeing and rights are upheld. As such, issues with respect to shortage of space, well-beings of animals, unpleasant smell, and the UAE’s weather will be identified. The research is worth studying because its findings will offer means of setting up a reputable safari zoo that meets the international conservancy regulations. In the gulf region, safari zoos are one of the best family destinations. They offer amusement and education opportunities in a natural out-of-door settings (Vine 12). Through the study, it can be revealed whether the current animal zoos in the UAE are well managed considered that a number of challenges exist. Equally, through the study it will be known whether the current animal zoos in the country infringe on animals’ rights. Based on the above illustrations, it is apparent that a comprehensive research on the subject should be carried out before setting up a new venture in the region. The findings obtained from this study may also be used in improving the management of the existing animal zoos. The research is divided into two parts. In the first part, barriers faced when establishing safari zoo are highlighted. The second part focuses on the means to address the barriers. Barriers to sustainable development According to Tuyl, a number of challenges have affected the people’s behaviour and decisions with respect to setting up safari zoos in the UAE (Tuyl 10). Space constraint is a major decision that should be considered before setting up an animal zoo in the UAE. In the last few decades, the country has witnessed rapid urbanization. Usually, zoos are set up in urban regions to serve the needs of the city dwellers (Tuyl 12). Therefore, in the country zoo investors have to face huge competition for space with real estate developers. In this regard, it will be expensive to acquire space in the region pushing up the cost of setting up the venture. Tuyl notes that the issue of space constraints also implies that zoos in the region will experience clarity of view challenges (Tuyl 12). Unlike in the wild, animals in the zoos are kept in cages. As such, the cages are made of heavy metal bar and mesh to prevent the animals from escaping. Similarly, the cages are meant to
Introduction Over the years, the World Bank has been at the forefront in helping the developing nations to fully integrate their systems with emerging managing technologies. Founded in 1945, the bank functions to provide advice and finance to nations for the sole purpose of developing them economically and abolishing poverty in these countries. Most of the World Bank activities are focused on budding nations, mostly in Africa and Asia. It has continued to help these countries in diverse areas of agriculture and development of rural areas, health, education, environmental protection, governance, and infrastructure. It has established critical management technologies that aim to streamline governments’ functions of these poor countries and help develop institutions that are free from corruption – a major setback to third world economies (World Bank Group, 2008). Main body The World Bank, through its arms, provides loans to member nations at special rates to develop the growth areas mentioned above. Grants are offered to the least developed nations so that they may catch up with the rest. The World Bank loans and grants for explicit ventures are closely allied to broader policy changes in the economy or individual sectors of recipient nations (World Bank Group, 2008). The World Bank is a major user of emerging managing technologies. The Bank’s basic terms of reference are helping countries to achieve economic development as well as reducing poverty levels. To achieve these crucial goals, the institution has honored the significant role played by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the development endeavors around the globe. Not so long ago, people and governments did not realize the benefits of using ICT in poverty reduction and advancing economic development. Governments, especially in Africa could not understand how ICT could deal with the terrible challenges of homelessness, lack of education, lack of health services, and starvation that continued to pose problems to their populations. This was until the World Bank realized that ICT was a vital component of its broader efforts of increasing economic development and decreasing poverty levels (Thompson, 2004). Through the grants and loans offered by the World Bank, developing nations have now taken tangible steps to integrate ICT into their development programs and economic strategies. Many nations, especially in Africa and Asia are now implementing nationwide e-strategies that lay prominence on internet connectivity as well as new applications in e-business and e-government (World Bank, 2006). In Kenya for example, the government has secured a substantial loan from the World Bank for its e-business project which is done in phases. Upon completion, the management technology will ensure that government affairs are run efficiently thus providing room for economic development. The bank is also in the process of providing grants to a number of African coun
Making California a better place and the best home for its people is a collective responsibility of the whole population of this state. However, the state government has an invaluable role to play in making sure that all the activities in the state are running well and that the rule of law is embraced. For the state of California to have an impressive economic future, the government needs to come up with viable strategies of dealing with the numerous issues which the state is facing and are cropping up from time to time. This paper explores the major challenges facing the state of California, what the state government can do to resolve problems that are emanating from both internally and externally and also sheds some light on the duties the state government should execute. The problems facing California There is generally what can be termed to be myriada of issues facing the state of California. Provost and Hyink point out that some of the challenges facing the state of California include poor wealth distribution, poorly established leadership structure that runs the government, inadequate basic public education, lack of information flow in and out of the state to the detriment of the citizens, disturbance in higher education, lack of adequate public services, payment of high and sometimes exaggerated taxes, immigration and other population related issues. In addition, the state is also characterized with other general issues like lethargy among leaders and civil servants (Provost & Hyink, 2003). Nonetheless, the state of California has been doing relatively well compared to other states in the wider United States of America. Despite the fact that for many years the g,overnment has been employing significant efforts in raising the economic state of California, a dire need for action is clearly being felt across the state. The fight to make California a better place to live and do business needs thorough evaluation. For instance, focused campaigns aimed at identifying the key problems which are facing the state of California call for more attention. The voters in this state need to be given highlights of the current condition of the state in order to unveil and put them into a position of making a substantial impact in the state’s development and progress. This will require thoroua gh prioritization of all government policies in this state. What the state government should address The government needs to allow itself to undergo a continuous reformation in order to avoid rigidity and long response time especially when addressing issues of national or state interest. The stated government also needs to ensure that there is equitable redistribution of wealth in all parts of the state. This can be done over a set period of time through legal process. Lawrence (2012) observes that California is ranked low in economic status because there is no much support to public basic services provision and education has not been given substantial support in the recen
Human personality is the product of familial, genetic, and social factors integration. The way the brain espouses psychological character, personality, is determined not only by the accidental environmental incidents, but also by the genetic make up of the individual (Gazzaniga, 1985, p. 11 as cited in Fillipo, 1992). According to Motangu (1996, as cited in Fillipo, 1992), satisfaction of an individual basic want’s accounts for his/her functionality at the organic level. On the other hand, s/he must attain sufficient emotional satisfaction to guarantee personal balance in order to function adequately on the social level (Fillipo, 1992). Therefore, in Joe’s circumstance the father’s lack of concern for the family can be accounted for his emotional imbalance, since apparently it appears difficult for him to comprehend the father’s behavior towards the wife and the son, Joe. According to Barbu (1971, p. 150 as cited in Fillipo, 1992) the family presents the initial atmosphere for social interaction, thereby molding in a person the temperament and need to compromise with fellow humans. Further, he (p. 162) asserts that a personality orientation tends to re-enforce, consolidate, and develop a collection of distinct values, beliefs, ideologies, conceptions, and particular social organizations and structures. Generally, a familial background provides a developing child’s brain with atmosphere conducive for developing social abilities including communication skills, desirable impression, attitude, and the capacity to compromise (Fillipo, 1992). In this context, Joe and mother were subject to neglect by the father when he disappeared leaving behind a 5-year-old Joe to face live challenges without the protection of a father. These challenges are so hard on a child, but Joe did not find an alternative except to face them head on. With all the burdens, it is obvious that he could not concentrate on his education which may have enlighten him about the lives’ challenges and equip him with problem solving techniques. His feeling of inadequacy can be accounted for by the coming back of the father and then leaving again after siring two more children within a short time interval of two years. From Joe’s view, the two siblings are an extra burden. I can speculate that Joe must be blaming himself for allowing the father the chance to return and abuse them and disappear again. Beside the two siblings, the fatal accident which happened to the mother worsened his worsened his situation. The different events account for the phrase “I just never seem to be good enough” which he repeatedly uses to signify his frustrations. As for the bouts of depression, I can attribute this to the attitude he develops towards other members of the society including the experts associated wi
Historians have been exploring the events experienced in the United States to understand how they have influenced political, social, and economic policies. Each decade appears to present specific opportunities, challenges, and issues that cannot be wished away if Americans are to understand how far the nation has come. The 1960s was a period of great upheavals that transformed the country’s future in a way many individuals never anticipated (Schmidt 1089). After the dawn of the new millennium, Americans realized that they were grappling with broader and bigger problems that required evidence-based solutions. The thesis statement for this paper is that the 1960s presented a decade of heartbreaks and promises. In comparison, the 2000s was a period of reflection as the United States realized that it was still on its journey towards realizing its military, social, and civil rights goals. Comparing and Contrasting the 1960s and the 2000s The history of the United States is characterized by momentous events and happenings that led to establishing different laws and policies. Many people acknowledge that the 1960s was a decade of transformations and extremes (King 14). On one side, the period saw an extension of the fight for civil rights and equality. For instance, minority groups such as African Americans became energized to demand their freedoms in a society that was characterized by discrimination. Similarly, women began to pursue similar objectives in the country. The decade created new disparities between the liberals and the conservatives. Most of the conservatives were observed to rebel against any agenda pursued by their counterparts. According to them, it was the right time to promote political correctness and sustain their cultural positions in the nation. On the other side, many liberals demanded a new society defined by justice, equality, and fairness (Schmidt 1092). The nature of these developments explains why many scholars agree that the decade transformed many things in the country. The fight for civil rights and gender equality led to the Civil Rights Movement (King 16). The economic development experienced throughout the decade made it possible for many Americans to pursue their aims. This opportunity compelled more people to acknowledge that different minority groups had been disadvantaged over the years. Consequently, new laws and amendments focusing on inclusivity were considered to transform the society’s dark history. In 1960, a
Introduction The importance of cultural strategy is of particular importance for any business and non-profit organization. Originally, the cultural aspects of the business performance shape the entire basis of customer care relations, thus, defining the attitude of the consumers, the target audience and the competitors towards the organization. In general, the cultural side of the business strategy is the defining aspect of the competitive capability. The aim of this paper is to analyze the changes in the cultural approaches at Euro Disney in 1987 – 1994. The theoretic analysis of the case study will be aimed at defining the crucial moments of the cultural aspects in business performance. Case Study Analysis In accordance with the case study, the business performance of the Euro Disney corporation needed essential improvement. As it is stated on the case study, the revenues 15% decreased for the analyzed period, moreover, the annual amount of visitors lowered constantly, thus, the costs had to be 12% cut. All these caused the essential losses, and originated the strong necessity for immediate changes. As it is stated in the case study, Euro Disney had also made essential operational improvements: Mr Bourguignon reported that it had cut queuing times by 45 percent during the year through new attractions and the redesign of existing ones; hotel occupancy rates had risen from 55 percent in the previous year to 60 percent; and managers were to be given greater incentives. The net result, claimed Bourguignon, was that the company would reach break-even during 1996. (Grant, 2002, p. 279) The entire change in the cultural approaches provided the required changes in the customer care aspects of the business strategy, which caused the improved attitude of the visitors towards the company, and increased the loyalty of the target audience. Theoretic Approach Originally, the change of the corporate culture
Abstract The present paper aims at evaluating the skills and abilities needed for the public health professional in order to eliminate the negative impact of some health issues on the health of the target population. The population group selected for the analysis is young people (18-35 years old). The health issue is HIV prevention. The paper covers three major areas. First of all, the approaches to monitoring the target population’s health, along with current evidence, are offered. Secondly, the ways of diagnosing the impact of the target population’s health are suggested, and examples are given. Thirdly, the ways of investigating the effect on target population health are analyzed. Additionally, the appropriate data that might be useful for such an investigation is provided. The ideas expressed in the paper are supported by current research in the field of healthcare. In the introduction, the significance of the chosen health issue and population group is explained. The conclusion offers a summary of the main points of the paper. Through the use of evidence and examples, the importance of the opinions and facts outlined in the paper is emphasized. An assessment project is a helpful tool for public health professionals as well as healthcare employees. Introduction The selected public health issue that will serve as a basis for the project is HIV prevention. The target population is young adults (aged 18-35 years old) in Chicago, Illinois. This health problem bears a high level of significance because of its extensive negative impact on the target population group. Adverse outcomes that may appear due to HIV vary from mild to severe health problems. Due to these facts, the issue of HIV prevention is among the most crucial ones, and it requires serious and immediate consideration. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the ways of monitoring the health of young adults, discuss the diagnosing options, and analyze the impact of the health issue on the target population’s health. The Ways of Monitoring the Health of the Target Population In order to monitor the health of the target population, it is necessary to analyze the statistics of young people’s health issues in Chicago, Illinois. To do so, the public health professional has to contact local hospitals and ask their representatives to provide data on young people belonging to risk groups. The second approach is visiting shelters for homeless people, where the risk of HIV spread is much higher. In both cases, the public health professional will need to observe the population group representatives, analyze their health condition to identify the symptoms of HIV, and encourage them to do HIV tests. This can be done both by direct observation and by asking young people about their lifestyle habits and health problems. A particular group of young people that is at risk of developing HIV is represented by drug users. Current evidence on this issue testifies that substance and drug abusers tend to engage in unsafe intercourse and frequently have sexually transmitted infections (Bonar et al., 2016). Wit
