In my whole life, I have always lived in plenty. While I was in Philippines, a simple occurrence that was seemingly normal made me take a different focus on what I would like to do to have a fulfilling life. I came across street children, who were searching through trash in a dustbin, apparently looking for food. Since then, I have always taken keen interest in discovering just how it feels to be a street child, and the challenges that these people go through. This paper looks into the challenges that street children go through, highlights some of the reasons why children go to the streets, and suggests measures that can be taken to reduce the number of street children, or make their lives better. Street children go through a lot of challenges. These challenges are brought about by the fact that they do not have homes, money, family, and all the other prerequisites for the healthy growth of a child. One of the greatest challenges that street children go through is hunger. They do not have food and thus they depend on hand-outs, and garbage. In some areas, street children even get addicted to sniffing gum as they try to reduce the pangs of hunger. Hunger is so great a challenge to street kids that it has numerous repercussions in the lives of these kids. It is the main reason why street children get involved in criminal activities like robbery with violence. It also makes their bodies so weak that they become susceptible to diseases. Another major challenge faced by street children is lack of shelter. They spend their nights in subways even in the coldest of weathers. This can potentially make them fall sick. Spending nights in the open also makes them vulnerable. Thus they can be bitten by snakes, or they can even be attacked by sex-pests, who may be people in the neighborhood or fellow street children. There are a number of reasons why children may take to the streets to become street urchins. One of the main reasons is the death of the parents of a child who does not have caring relatives. After the death of the parents of such a child, the child may be forced to join other street children in cities in order to learn how to survive. Another reason is child neglect. A number of children become street children after their parents neglect them, and fail to take care of them. This is mostly seen in parents with specific problems like psychological problems, social problems, or even behavioral problems like the abuse of drugs. If a child is neglected by a parent who is able to raise him/her, he/she becomes angry about it, and it is easy for him/her to make poor decisions like
Personal judgments about the credibility of source of claim, presented in the news report The author of the news report under consideration admits that “math just isn’t adding up for college students.” (Tibbetts, 2009) The point is that the context, which she chooses to support this claim, plays a significant role in order to assess her credibility as a good source. To my mind, she has the right to present such kind of a claim as she grounds on the results of research, conducted by York University and Seneca College in Toronto. Those people, who get the idea of the works in this college and university, realize that these researchers use the results of numerous investigations, conducted within their institution. This is why they may be regarded as quite valid and reliable. According to this report, teachers are “products of the university system” (Tibbetts, 2008); this claim helps to comprehend that all teachers’ activities are closely connected to universities only. This is why college students face another problem and called “second-class citizens” (Tibbetts, 2008). However, all these investigation took place within certain institutions, and it is not quite correct to present such a claim without mentioning their location; they are not sure about the situation in the colleges of other countries. In general, the researchers from the York University and Seneca College in Toronto have an opportunity to present such claims, but still, their concentration on certain institutions means that the source of the claim is not quite credible. Critiques of news report The title of the article under consideration captivates many students and other people, those professions are connected to education, indeed: it states that math cannot add up for college students. To my mind, this title is a bit unclear, and lots of questions appear very quickly: which countries it is all about, whether it touches college students only, and what the author wants to underline, when she uses the word “just” in this title. At the same time, the major question appears in the head – why math does not add up for students, specially for college students. To my mind, the use of statistics makes this work strong and more persuasive: people can do nothing with statistics, just accept the facts and think about the consequences. The sources, used in this news report, are reliable (the results of the investigations from several educational institutions). The example of incompleteness is all about the title and its generality: the author does not specify the areas of her investigation from the very beginning. Numbers, used in the report, help to get a clear picture of how many students face problems with math at colleges. However, the author does not focus on the reasons of why these students face thes
Reasons for a Development Plan   * Overcoming a competitive barrier and addressing the existing legislative issues are crucial tasks.   * High costs of component materials are the reason to develop a strategic plan.   * Regulatory requirements impede the company’s growth and contribute to increasing costs on legal conventions.   * The Asian market is not covered comprehensively.   * Tesla’s pricing policy is ambiguous in the context of accessibility.   * The lack of innovative technologies may cause too high costs at the production stages. To achieve authority in the international market, the Tesla company has to overcome the current competitive barrier and address the existing legislative issues impeding its sustainable growth. It is essential to introduce changes to the internal production processes to reduce the high costs of the production process and minimise the expenses on component materials. In addition, the necessity to enter new markets is a relevant task. To expand the sphere of influence, Tesla needs to interact with the Asian market and represent its products in this region. More opportunities should be provided to consumers to increase brand recognition so that the company’s products could be more affordable because now, Tesla’s goods are expensive. Despite the modern assembly principles, expenses increase due to significant production costs, which, in turn, makes it difficult for the corporation’s marketing specialists to promote the brand Strategic Aims   * Applying for relevant and in-demand information technologies.   * IT innovations may contribute to solving this issue (Falát & Holubčík 2017).   * Establishing effective cooperation with the Asian market.   * Overcoming competition with other market electric vehicle brands.   * Maintaining partnerships may help reduce legislative conventions.   * Creating a sustainable system of marketing both locally and internationally. Utilising information technologies may help avoid too high production costs and eliminate expenses at all the assembly stages. According to Falát and Holubčík (2017), addressing the company’s pricing policy due to more accessible offers is a relevant step, and the optimisation of production though implementing productive innovations may help correct the current problems. More favourable terms of sales can enable Tesla’s representatives to cooperate with Asian distributors effectively, which is one of the most important objectives. Using IT innovations in manufacturing can help Tesla create a sustainable background for overcoming competition in this market segment. Strengthening power opportunities through partnerships can not only expand the sphere of influence but also reduce the legislative conventions with which the company has to deal. Achieving brand recognition is possible due to maintaining a sustainable system of marketing, which may help promote the company’s goods in both local and international markets. Current Marketing Mix Effectiveness   * Sufficiently advanced marketing principles for effective promotion.   * Productive advertisi
Juran applied the Japanese philosophy on quality into Western management practices emphasizing the role of human resources and control. New quality programs should comprise a quality plan which offers a structured, disciplined approach to quality and incorporates a number of tools and tech­niques. Particular emphasis is given to the collection and analysis of information and to employee training. It is culturally based with involvement as a core philosophy (Foster, 2006). Following Joseph M. Juran, the focus should be on the quality of the end. Quality does not happen in originations or production, it should be carefully planed and controlled. For every company, this is a crucial element of quality programs determining the product and service they will deliver. This approach means a move from a traditional ‘control’ type approach which accepts, implicitly, that defects will occur. Joseph M. Juran proposes the tools of control including the Bell system of sampling, the Shewhart control charts and inspection plans (Foster, 2006, Juran 1989). In order to maintain quality, a company should take into account the following factors:  1. Identify who are the customers;  2. Determine the needs of customers;  3. Translate those needs into language  4. Develop a product that can respond to those needs.  5. Optimize the product features;  6. Develop a process that is able to produce the product.  7. Optimize the process;  8. Prove that the process can produce the product under operating conditions;  9. Transfer the process to operations (Beckford, 2002). Juran singles out ‘elephant-sized’ and ‘bite-sized’ projects. He states that the best way to deal with the ‘elephant-sized’ projects is to divide them up into ‘bite-sized’ units. Juran suggests that its is important for a company to ‘cut-up the elephant’ (Juran1989). Juran supposes that 80 % of an organization’s quality problems are caused by management-controllable defects. In order to improve this, the organization should put the systems right. The human dimension (training, education, cultural diversity ma
Abstract Medically complicated cases come to routine dental surgery for various procedures. While many of these patients are dealt with successfully, some of these patients may suffer from extreme anxiety. Reducing this anxiety is essential for proper execution of the various procedures. Conscious sedation is one of the most commonly employed methods to relieve anxiety and is now widely gaining acceptance as a safe method for reducing anxiety. The introduction of various forms of sedation dentistry has made it possible to treat many of the patients who may not be cooperative otherwise. Among the various techniques, the most commonly used these days is the conscious sedation method, most commonly used in pediatric dentistry as well as in anxious adults. Conscious sedation has many forms of administration, and usually it is through clinical knowledge and experience that the dentist may choose a particular one regarding a particular patient. Ideally a patient who is fit to receive any form of anesthesia is either Class I or a Class II patient. Class I patients comprise normal healt
The modern-day office setup is evolving rapidly. As such, the workplace is becoming even more diverse and complicated. To this end, many modern offices have developed strict policies to ensure that the workplace environment is maintained at an optimum to ensure that it is efficient and fluid (Stuckey 14). Offices also establish human resource departments where such conflicts can be aired and solved in due time. Employees need to be sensitized on possible sources of conflict to put them in a better position to avoid them. As the office administrator, I have studied the patterns of conflict in the office and I would like to highlight some sources of these fights in this office. The memo will put into consideration the welfare of all employees in the company. Please read it and note all the factors that are raised therein (Melling and Booth 16). Break Room The break room is a shared facility and should be treated as such. Employees should ensure that all edibles are consumed in the break room during breaks for snacks or lunch. Employees should be mindful of others’ allergies (Dobson 44). Being mindful will go a long way in preventing any imminent accidents in the break room. Food that contains nuts, gluten, lactose and other known allergens needs to be properly sealed and labeled to avoid contact. The break room will also be equipped with an epipen, as well as a first aid box, in case of emergencies. The same necessitates the use of a report. Observation of all these matters will reduce accidents and incidents in the break room. Break room etiquette should be taken very seriously because it could have dire consequences if unchecked (Stuckey 12). Duties Cleanliness is very important, and especially in a place where we prepare our coffee and warm our lunch. Cleaning up after oneself is a great way to avoid conflict in the office environment (Morris and Smith 9). Every employee should ensure that they clean any mess. The following is a list of the kitchen duties:   * Dispose off any unwanted sanitary material   * Place utensils in their right places   * Maintain an aura of tranquility Sharing of Office Resources The office provides a number of resources for use by employees in the course of executing their duties (Dobson 18). The company provides employees with telephones, internet, printers, paper and stationery. Employees need to refrain from using these resources for their personal errands. Social media sites are blocked to reduce the number of distractions in the office. Please also refrain from making or receiving personal calls on the office lines. Office printers, printing paper, and stationery are also shared resources in the office. Every person has been issued with a printer code. Please use it so that the office assistants may have an idea as to whom the printing belongs. Please avoid excessive use or misuse of paper where necessary. Adhere to proper di
Several theories explain the factors that drive offenders to commit serious crimes such as murder. In most cases, the crime is an act of rational choice done to gratify personal desires or for personal gain (Sanderson, 2019). The extant theories that explain the act of criminal behavior fall into psychological, social, and biological categories. However, as numerous cases indicate, the social and psychological factors have the strongest impact in influencing criminal behavior, especially among juveniles. This reaction paper analyses three cases of juvenile delinquents that committed murder in different contexts. Eric Smith Smith murdered a 4-year old child when he was only 13 years old. He lured the young boy into a wooded area before strangling him and hitting his head with a large rock. Smith was found guilty of second-degree murder and was sentenced to the maximum term for juvenile offenders. He served three years in the juvenile jail and later in jail for young adults. Smith cited childhood bullying experiences that he experienced from older children and his family as the reason for his rage, which caused him to kill the child. Lionel Tate Lionel Tate killed Eunick when he was only 13 years old. The two were playing when Tate forcefully stomped on Eunick’s stomach, which damaged her liver. In addition, Eunick suffered a swollen brain, fractured skull, and broken rib. For these crimes, Tate was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, the sentence was later overturned and he was released on probation. Nevertheless, Tate continued with his criminal acts and was sentenced to 30 years in prison for violating the terms of the probation. This violation of probation illustrates Tate’s new identity as a criminal offender due to his previous conviction. Brayden Wright Brayden Wright fatally shot his 9-year old brother at their home. Wright, who was then aged 13 years, was acting as a cop in a game of cops and robbers. His siblings confirmed to the investigation team that Wright would occasionally point guns at them when they disagreed at home. In this case, Wright understood no negative consequences of deviant behavior because his parents never taught them. For his actions, Wright was charged with criminal homicide, while his parents were charged for endangering their child. Reaction The given cases show the outrageous, unjust conviction, where Brayden Wright was charged with criminal homicide because his parents did not teach the child about safety. Meanwhile, the first representatives were also convicted on the exact charges but were found to intentionally harm another individual. I firmly believe that the justice system and court should consider the background of the case, the age of the felons, and their mental state and punish the guilty individuals accordingly. It is also vital to consider opposite opinions on the given matter. Deflem (2018) argues that individuals charged with murdering children should b
Introduction The hotel industry is a significant player in the world economy with an estimated staff of ten million employees who benefit directly or indirectly from its activities. The operations of this industry are influenced by macroeconomic factors like employment, security, inflation and food production. It is evident that this sector relies on external factors to exist. Therefore, there must be a favorable environment for this sector to thrive. This essay is an evaluation of the current hotel and beverage industry and recommends possible remedies that may help improve its operations. Background There is no evidence to prove when this industry started but it has a long history that dates back to the beginning of life on earth. This is called hospitality industry since it offers accommodation and homage services to its clients. People used to travel in search of business or employment opportunities. However, it was not possible to travel back home due to the complexity of their activities or the distance to be covered. Therefore, businessmen, workers and investors had to look for places to rest during the night before embarking on their journey back home. In addition, people on holidays wanted to enjoy and experience different environments and this necessitated the need to travel away from their residence. However, it was impossible to travel back home due to long distances and exhaustion from the day’s activities (Waller 11). People took advantage of this situation and started offering rooms for travelers at a reasonable fee. Consequently, the need to have quality room services forced people to establish facilities meant to offer quality accommodation. With time, drinks, foods and other personal and recreational services were introduced in these establishments. This was the beginning of an industry that now commands almost 10% of the world’s labor market. This industry controls more than 70% of investment services that are directly or indirectly related to it. Current Situation This industry is undergoing transformations that will give it a new face within this decade. It is necessary to state that while there is an unstable economy other factors are necessitating the growth of this industry. However, there are major concerns that this industry may experience a facelift and soon after become obsolete. The following is an overview of the current situation in this industry. Quality of Services Offered The introductory remarks outlined the evolutionary steps this industry has undergone to attain its present status. However, it is necessary to state that this sector is controlled by human lifestyle and trends. A service may be popular and fetch high prices in one market and the opposite becomes true in a neighboring country. There is no specific definition or requirement in terms of the
Introduction Western civilization is anchored in an active interaction of law and justice that perpetually try to find harmony and stability in the gist of unending antagonism and vulnerable dissolution. Civilization has thrived while this counter-point has staggered and crumbled (Plato 69). Greek tradition and misfortune were the reasons for instability. Thus, Aeschylus outlines the importance of trial by a judge to officiate justice founded on due procedure in a bid to ensure that a balance between justice and law is attained (Plato 54). This paper will discuss the main issues in the Euthyphro , the Apology, and the Crito , and how these issues impact the western civilization. The paper will also attempt to answer various questions emerging from this book: Why should a person suffer the injustices of his/her country? Would this inculcate a level of apathy that would frustrate any effort of public fairness or legal transformation? The Euthyphro We first meet Socrates on the day prior to his trial where he is charged with wickedness towards the gods and misdirecting the Athenian youth. The Euthyphro recognizes Socrates as a self declared mogul on religious issues who had journeyed to Athens to bring his father to court for unjust demise of a servant. It is in the exchange between the two that we learn about the accusations placed against Socrates. In the dialogue, we are introduced to the Socratic system, a dissertation that usually seeks to determine the essence of a universal quality or something articulated in a description. The Euthyphro raises a critical issue that pertains to the basis of ethics. In response to Socrates’ inquiry, Euthypro describes the meaning of right (or piety) as anything that is pleasant to the gods. This description replicates the conventional foundation of the Greeks ethics. According to the typical Greeks, what was agreeable to the gods was more of an issue of official adherence than individual conduct. The significant issue thus regards ethical foundations, an
Air Jordan is a brand of custom made shoes produced originally by the U.S. based sports merchandise manufacturing company Nike. These shoes were designed for and endorsed by all time celebrated in NBA basketball player Michael Jordan. The Air Jordan brand of shoes has significantly revolutionized foot wear in basketball. Before their debut into the world of basketball, all shoes in the game were white. This situation has since changed. The Air Jordan line of shoes and other Jordan products are since being marketed and sold by the Jordan Brand Company. Michael Jordan started his relationship with Nike in the 9 th month of 1984 after he had signed for the Chicago Bull. This resulted in the subsequent release Air Jordans 1, the first of the Air Jordan line of shoes, in March 1985. These shoes were inspired by the vibrant heritage, dream and undeviating concern of Michael Jordan. The replica design of this shoe in different colors and sizes for men, women, and children went on sale the same year drawing massive sales worldwide. The $2.5 million 5 year deal revolutionized sports entertainment. The bol
