Medical melodramas occupy a significant place in the lives of the TV audience, whether the viewers are professionally connected with the sphere of medicine or not. While critics note that such TV shows are rather exaggerated and far from reality, people all over the world enjoy watching Grey’s Anatomy and House, M.D. Between these two shows, I think that House, M.D. is a better medical melodrama than Grey’s Anatomy . My opinion is supported by many people. In her article “Health Care in the Time of Grey’s Anatomy ,” Julie Beck notes:   * “Several studies have shown that people who watch a lot of medical shows are more likely to believe certain things about doctors and healthcare.” In other words, many viewers of medical melodramas believe that doctors in the real world see as many extraordinary cases as their TV colleagues do. However, each of these shows presents the disparity between real and fictitious life in a different way. As Todd VanDerWerff mentions, Grey’s Anatomy is “a unique blend of workplace drama and over-the-top-soap.” While the events pictured in House, M.D. are also far from reality, the show concentrates more on the professional lives of the doctors rather than their personal affairs. Indeed, I agree with Peter McNab, who says:   * “[ House, M.D. ] still deserves credit for great writing, an unwillingness to compromise, and being able to effectively mix humor with challenging intellectual content.” The cases described in both medical melodramas are very rare in real life— and that is exactly why they are called “shows.” However, the amount of time that Grey’s Anatomy spends displaying the personal lives of medical staff, and the excessive amount of passion in that presentation, takes away from the merit of the TV show as a medical melodrama. In House, M.D. , on the other hand, events are also a bit overstated, but they mostly pertain to professional and not personal situations. Thus, I consider House, M.D. to be a better medical melodrama than Grey’s Anatomy since the former focuses on “medical” while the latter concentrates on “melodrama.” Works Cited Beck, Julie. “ Health Care in the Time of Grey’s Anatomy . ” The Atlantic . 2014.

Introduction An electric car is an automobile that uses an electric motor to generate electricity that is used to run its various components. Electric cars originated during the early years of the 19 th century (Anderson, & Anderson, 2005). However, lack of certain features that characterized combustion engine cars led to low popularity and the consequent disappearance of electric cars. They were very expensive and could only travel for short distances. Historical records reveal that the fist electric car was made in 1837 by Robert Davidson, who used galvanic batteries as the power source (Hunter, 2014). Rechargeable batteries were later incorporated into the engine systems of the cars beginning in the year 1859 (Anderson, & Anderson, 2005). Electric cars run on electric energy that is generated by energy storage devices such as batteries. In recent years, high oil prices and technological advancements have resulted in increased demand for electric cars. How an electrical car works As mentioned earlier, an electrical car runs using electric energy generate
Introduction Internet can be a powerful tool for learning and sharing ideas and it can definitely contribute to the development of children and adolescents. Nevertheless, it can also expose them to violence, overt sexuality, or cruelty and its impact is not always beneficial. This paper is aimed at discussing the influence of Internet on children under the age of 11. In particular, one should speak about the influence of online technologies in the way in which they communicate with one another. It is also important to examine the impact of Internet on their values and their understanding of behavioral norms. Overall, it is possible to argue that the abuse of Internet can impair their communicative skills and distort their views on social relations and values. Moreover, this technology can expose users to various controversial images, videos or texts and a child, who has not reached the age of 11, may not be able to interpret them. Thus, parents and educators should carefully monitor children’s use of internet that must not become the main agent of socialization. This is the main argument that should be discussed. The peculiarities of children under the age of 11 In order to understand the influence of Internet on children, one should first discuss the peculiarities of this age group. First of all, at this stage of their development they only try to understand the rules that govern social relations and the way in which a person should interact with others (Martin & Fabes, 420). In many cases, they do it by observing the verbal and non-verbal behavior of their parents or peers who often act as role models. Thus, the behavior of people in online communities can also become one of such role models for them. Additionally, one should note that before the age of 11, children learn the basic notions of morality, especially the distinction between appropriateness and inappropriateness of an action. In many cases, they determine the morality of an action on the basis of its consequences such as rewards or punishments (Martin & Fabes, 420). As a rule, these children do not have an independent moral judgment. Internet offers children an opportunity to observe people’s behavior under different circumstances and Internet can reinforce certain attitudes or beliefs. Therefore, it can become an agent of socialization that for these children. This is one of the main issues that both parents and teachers should pay attention to. They should know how they use information technologies, how they communicate and what kind of information they access. Communication via the Internet First of all, researchers identify several important aspects of Internet, and one of them is anonymity of users (Kizza 83). It means that individuals can conceal their identity and there is no way for others to determine it. Under such circumsta
Introduction In this flawlessly solid book, chart-topping writer John Maxwell describes how true leadership functions. It is not produced by the individual’s title. In actual fact, being promoted to a position is the lowermost of the five stages every operative leader goes through. To be more than a person in charge that people have to follow, one has to master the aptitude to motivate and capitalize on individuals. Overview It is essential to gather a crew that generates not only outcomes but also imminent leaders (Maxwell, 2013). By merging the information contained in this book with expertise and commitment, one can reach the highpoint of leadership where their inspiration covers outside their instantaneous range for the profit of others. Purpose The author’s goal is to make the reader understand the importance of going through the key stages of the leader’s development process. He also dwells on the peculiarities of each of these levels and gives extensive evidence to the person who reads concerning the importance of continuous learning and progress (Maxwell, 2013). The intended audience is both experienced and inexperienced managers that strive to reach the pinnacle of leadership. Evaluation The author achieved his goals by assuming that titles are not that crucial, and people are the most valuable resource of a company. The teams function as a whole only when the leaders have trust in their followers and effectively manage them. Maxwell’s knowledge in the area and his extensive experience are the foundations of this book. Most of the evidence relates to the personal value of team members and channels of communication (Maxwell, 2013). The fact that to attain vision as a crew is worth imperiling the relationships is one of the most original author’s suggestions. This is backed by the idea that relationships that are not accompanied by vision are insufficient. On the other hand, the description of the production stage is one of the least convincing in the whole book. There is an insufficient explanation of how the leader should generate momentum and convey lucidity to the vision. Despite the overall contents of the book, a very important part has been missed out. Very little information is given out by Maxwell on the topic of how a proficient leader should deal with the stresses and complications of managing a team and accomplishing goals (Maxwell, 2013). The book also barely touches the subject of interpersonal relations within a team. “How Successful People Lead” is rather useful as it provides a thorough interpretation of the process of developing a leadership style and encouraging others to achieve leadership roles. I believe that this particular book relates very closely to my personal and working lives. By virtue of this book, I became the employee of the month, got a raise in salary, and learned how to improve my performance significantly. As for my personal life, I became more cognizant of how I should behave in different situations and learned how to take the lead and guide people. I believe that one should take on the jo
Key Information In their article ‘Corporate entrepreneurship in family firms: a family perspective’, Kellermanns and Eddleston (2006) study the effects that the exposure to the corporate entrepreneurship practices has on companies run as family organizations. The article was published in 2006, which makes the information represented in its touch dated. However, the phenomenon of corporate entrepreneurship can be viewed from a broad perspective that involves the study of a company’s evolution in the context of the global economy, which makes the outcomes of the research applicable to the contemporary business environment. The article was published in Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice , which, being issued by the Wiley Online Library, can be described as a peer-reviewed journal (Wiley Online Library 2016). Summary According to the results of the study carried out by Kellermanns and Eddleston (2006), there is a direct correlation between the adoption of the corporate entrepreneurship framework and the impetus for change that the organization receives. Moreover, the outcomes of the research also indicate that the application of the identified practices in the context of a family firm is likely to enhance the technological progress within the organization. Furthermore, the overall attitude toward change as the driving force behind promoting improvements in the organizational environment, in general, can be viewed as the essential study implication (Kellermanns & Eddleston 2006). As far as the technological progress is concerned, the study reveals that the acceptance of the corporate entrepreneurship culture in family firms helps build the environment, in which technological opportunities are viewed as the tools for enhancing change, and in which change is interpreted as part and parcel of the continuous success. Finally, the use of strategic planning as the foundation for the decision-making processes in the organization can be considered the crucial concept introduced to the environment of the family business by the authors of the study. As Kellermanns and Eddleston (2006) explain, for a firm operating in the context of the global economy, there is a need to use its every asset to retrieve the maximum benefit and maximize the profits. Therefore, by introducing the strategic planning concept into the realm of family entreprene
Introduction The French Revolution was an event in the 18th century that introduced a new approach to governing. A key player in the revolution was Maxminillian- Robespierre, a ruthless leader who was successful at disseminating the beliefs of the left-wing bourgeoisie. Robespierre was a middle-class lawyer, who was incredibly critical of the government and all those who opposed him. He was a walking paradox, as he simultaneously promoted the rights of slaves and poor people but later, also prosecuted all those who went against him. This clearly shows how inconsistent he was. It is quite intriguing to investigate the impetus behind his change of character and his development from being a simple bourgeois or in other words, one who belonged to the middle class. He strongly advocated for the less fortunate in the society but later became a despotic and ruthless dictator sanguinary. In this paper, I will demonstrate how the political deterioration in 1791 and the failed attempt at setting up a workable constitutional monarch under Louis XVI led Robespierre into radicalizing his political philosophies and ideals which were tremendously influenced by Rousseau’s idea of “rule by virtue” and the general will of the public. The French Declaration of the Rights of Man This declaration in 1789 stated that the rebellion was not against Louis XVI. Rather, it was against the tyrannical government, and not against the principles and the personality of the king. Although a constitution existed since 1783, it was never enforced by those in authority and its implementation was to a great extent hindered not only by those opposed to the king but also due to the presence of ignorant leaders in the system, who added to the confusion before the implementation of a new constitution in 1791. To exonerate these leaders, their lack of knowledge was seen to have been caused by the huge number of decrees presented to them that was quite complex. 1 The Abolishment of the Monarchy The revolution in France was totally opposed to the monarchy and wanted a change. Immediately after the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Louis and the queen, the monarchy was abolished. This took place on September 21 st , 1792 and brought in a new era in French history. Consequently, as a result of the failure of the constitutional monarch and the foreign wars that threatened the French Jacobins, the Committee of Public Safety was constituted in part of the new Republic, on April 6th, 1793. A key responsibility of this particular committee was to protect the French citizens against any internal rebellion as well as foreign attacks. Robespierre, however, was not added to the committee until
Marketing strategies have been changing due to ever-increasing customer demands. It takes a lot of effort to change the perception of consumers towards a particular product or service. The automobile industry is one of the most competitive industries across the world and therefore companies have to come up with designs that meet the needs and expectations of potential customers (Anderson, 2010). Increased global campaigns about environmental conservation have made many companies consider environmental issues when designing their products and services. Many consumers in the modern world are conscious about their environment and will always be careful to consider the effect a particular product has on the environment (Anderson, 2010). Marketing strategists have to come up with marketing messages that are able to convince consumers that their products and services are eco-friendly. This paper will highlight some of the environmental factors that need to be considered when marketing an automobile product like the Toyota Prius. The perception of a customer can only be influenced to change if the marketing message highlights serious issues like environmental conservation. Toyota Prius is a hybrid car model that is friendly to the environment (Anderson, 2010). The environmental impact of a vehicle is a major factor in determining whether it will be rated highly. Toyota Prius is a car model with high fuel efficiency that makes it consume less fuel. Fuel efficiency plays a major role in reducing fossil fuel consumption (Lamb, 2011). The auto-emissions that are released to the atmosphere are normally minimal if a car has high fuel efficiency. The regenerative braking system in Toyota Prius facilitates the charging of the car battery through breaking (Lamb, 2011). This type of feature ensures that there is energy conservation because the vehicle is able to generate its own energy (Lamb, 2011). Toyota Prius has quite a number of other environmental benefits apart from fuel efficiency. Customers prefer to live healthy lifestyles and hence eco-friendly vehicles contribute to this type of lifestyle. Toyota Prius has a dual gas and electricity feature that favors environmental conservation. Environmentally savvy customers like this type of car because it has good gas mileage (Lamb, 2011). Toyota Prius guards against noise a
Nowadays, most gyms are victims of the spread of coronavirus; fitness will not be the same. The pandemic began to ‘dictate’ its own rules and conditions, which became a time of drastic changes (Piotrowski & Piotrowska, 2021). The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to take measures and create the necessary conditions for maintaining the health of both customers of fitness clubs and their employees. The first step to the prevention of morbidity is to follow the WHO recommendations. The primary safety measures are increased hygiene, wearing disposable or cotton masks and gloves, maintaining a certain distance. The distance is observed within 6 feet of each other. It is advisable to use signs, symbols, or special placards that attract people to follow the recommendations; following such aspects should be encouraged. Messages must be brief and, at the same time, informative, easy to read and perceive. In fact, ‘special hints’ will help separate people in the hall and the office premises. Moreover, a public place must have a hand washing machine, special disinfectants, and disposable hygiene products. There should be open windows and doors, room ventilation using HEPA filters, and humidity at 40-60% to ensure air circulation. Employees are recommended to regularly clean the premises and disinfect the surfaces. In addition, doing sports and physical education in the fresh air is a great way to make exercises more exciting and minimize the risks of morbidity. Physical training is organized in a creative way, which will help to keep the distance. Restricting access at certain times will help avoid a large crowd of people and reduce the risks of infection. Customers should be provided with cleaning products and masks. All employees should be trained and aware of the rules of personal hygiene and personal protection against exposure from COVID-19. Suppose an employee or a client has suspicions about the test results or is already infected and feels unwell and weak. In that case, it is necessary to urgently provide proper support and assistance. A chief has the right to suspend infected employees and those who do not follow the recommendations. A manager must be ready to provide an employee with special conditions and self-isolation for the period of illness. It is necessary to follow the screening protocol to identify these people – for example, to measure the temperature at the entrance, involve the personnel department, follow the recommendations of the specific state and federal authorities.
Introduction This essay aims to make an analysis of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. While discussing the short story’s central themes, it is necessary to highlight some fundamentals of it. There is a need to point out that the author is deeply concerned about the role of women in society. The Yellow Wallpaper: Literary Analysis In the following paragraph of the essay, The Yellow Wallpaper will be analyzed in terms of its main literary devices. From the very beginning, it becomes evident that the protagonist of the short story is oppressed, and the oppression is depicted symbolically. For instance, one is to keep in mind that Gilman relies on rather complicated symbols, including the window, the wallpaper, etc. The house is mostly associated with freedom, as the author provides us with her psychological vision of a woman’s transformation. In other words, she allows us to understand that the house is considered to be the symbol of self-expression. On the other hand, the protagonist cannot feel safe, as she is not in her own house. Thus, nobody can say that the house is a symbol of security; it should be regarded as a place, which allows us to observe a woman’s metamorphosis. While analyzing the short story, one can probably notice that the main character feels uncertainty and fear. For instance, she says that “There is something strange about the house” (Gillman p. 1). However, there is no need to understand the phrase “sensu stricto”. On the contrary, a deeper analysis of a woman’s worldview allows us to suppose that for her, there is something strange about her expectations and hopes. Still, she is not ready yet to accept the process of transformation and consider it necessary. In other words, one should regard a woman’s metamorphosis as an evolutionary process. The Yellow Wallpaper: Symbolism One of the significant symbols in the story, which one cannot neglect, is the window. Generally, at first sight, it seems that the window should represent a woman’s potential; however, the author gives us a negative connotation. The protagonist does not want to look out of the window, as she can see many other women, who must creep, to belong to society. More about The Yellow Wallpaper Which Gothic Element in the Yellow Wallpaper Reflects a Social Attitude of Gilman’s Time? 5 210 Who is Jane in the Yellow Wallpaper? 5 502 What Does Creeping Mean in The Yellow Wallpaper? 4.5 3362 What Are the Examples of Foreshadowing in The Yellow Wallpaper? 4.4 1248 “…And There Is a Friend that Sticks Closer than a Brother”. What Is the Meaning of This Passage in The Yellow Wallpaper? 5 595 What Is the Significance of the Narrative Form in The Yellow Wallpaper? 5 82 Thus, the main character of C.P.Gilman’s short story does not want to see her real personality, as other women symbolize her reflection. In other words, one can conclude that the window is not a symbol of various possibilities; it is a trap. Even though the woman experiences transformation, she cannot fi
