A museum is an institution that displays different and previous artworks such as paintings, pictures, and sculptures. Individuals are advised to visit the displayed galleries rather than reading newspapers or viewing photos. Birmingham Museum of Art contains the finest galleries in the Southeastern part of the United States of America. Utterback states that the collection consists of more than twenty-four thousand paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, and decorative arts representing numerous cultures globally (4). From Victoria Square, turning right at the end of the Council House, the entrance is located on the right side exactly at the New Street Station. Inside the building, there is an Egyptian grey ibis in color. Its body is oval with a long neck and legs. According to Ness, illustrations of kingdoms and rulers in the African culture capture one’s attention due to their proximity (245). The painting consists of black and energetic individuals, tall and young, holding sticks. Next to the ibis is a Chinese black wine vessel. There is also an illustration of Chinese culture, a pear-shaped bottle decorated with banana leaves, a lotus pond, and lotus petal motifs. Ahmady indicates that the pear-shaped bottle is categorized as porcelain with glaze blue decoration (6). Museum paintings and prints indicate how African and Chinese cultures are rich. There is the Dream of Italy by Robert S. Duncanson which is located in another room and illustrates how Italians were longing for peace and tranquility. The painting reveals a bright yellow sun far from the west, green plants, clear blue water, and scattered clouds. The image of Margaret George McGlathery is another painting available here. She is in a long black dress, with long black gloves, and a white veil covers her. The painting is believed to be one of the nineteenth century’s most expensive paintings, which offers an exquisite view. Her family comprises seven children and a husband; the painter targeted painting all of them in one picture but seemed impossible due to financial constraints. On the project of doing more research, it is worthy of finding paintings of tracks done by hand. The hand is folded with black tracks on it, illustrating rails drawn on the hand’s backside. These tracks run from the wrist through the knuckles to the nails. However, due to digital limitations, the display of the paintings is incomplete and it is hardly possible to feel the same emotions as while taking a real-life tour around a museum. Another painting in this building shows the Ascetic Shakyamuni made of wood and seated, wondering about many events. Ascetic
Interactive marketing is a relatively new marketing concept that aims at making changes based on the reactions from customers. The overall goal of interactive marketing in the film industry is to make changes that could result in more attraction with regard to films. Interactive marketing is essential because it makes marketing personnel react to prospects of customers. High levels of competition characterize the film industry and it could be important to utilize the views of customers about films before they could be released into the market. Efforts should be focused on understanding customer requirements so that films are produced to meet customer needs. This is particularly important because film production requires huge investments. In fact, it is argued that interactive marketing produces better results than the normal marketing by about 10 times. In order to achieve interactive marketing of a dramatic film, it is important to do the following:  1. Use a database to capture customer behavior, which would be analyzed to improve the quality of films.  2. Utilize the best approaches to decide what to do so that customer needs could be met.  3. Use software that supports email conversations between a marketer and customers.  4. Use software that supports promotions of films so that the intended audience could have the knowledge about films and react appropriately. Thus, timely responses are critical when implementing interactive-based marketing approaches in the film industry. However, five essential processes should be carried out so that marketing executives in charge of promoting films could help to produce market-driven films. First, market triggers should be identified through the use of various market analysis tools. Triggers could come from many sources such as customer feedback and data analysis. If the right film triggers are identified, then strategic marketing teams involved in marketing a film could know about the best approach to use in marketing and the changes that could be proposed to the film production team. Second, the creation of responses is essential in the process of using interactive marketing of films. Responses are created based on the identified triggers. This could be the hardest part of interactive marketing, but it could make a film increase its marketability and appeal to the targeted audience. Third, it could be important to evaluate the success of interactive marketing based on the outcomes. The outcomes should be quantifiable so that the returns of investments could be evaluated. For example, the number of people interested in watching a film could be determined. Also, the number of films sold could be assessed and sales analyzed to determine the monetary rewards of conducting interactive marketing. Fourth, operationalization is important in interactive marketing so that the number of campaigns could be increased. In order to run a significant number of campaigns in a day, it could be essential to automate the process.
Since the end of World War II, the populations of Eastern and Western Europe have developed in divergent directions. The significant differences that can be observed were attributed to the development of political systems in the East that allowed limited personal authority, welfare policies associated with demographic and welfare aims, as well as decreased access to resources that could have improved the well-being of nations, including healthcare and contraception. In the mid-1980s, just prior to Gorbachev becoming General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party, the divide between East and West in Europe became even stronger. In addition, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact deployed new nuclear missiles against one another, with political tensions on both sides becoming highly acute. 1 Within the tense environment, Western Europe showed the ability to adapt to tough economic conditions and implement reforms leading to the improved quality of life for its citizens. The discussion focus on exploring the reasons behind the success of Western Europe associated with embracing globalization and the collapse of Eastern Europe, predominantly the Soviet Union, linked to policy changes implemented by the government. The issues to be discussed further are associated with the politics of history, which has become an important aspect of international relations both in Europe and globally. 2 The fall of the Berlin Wall represents the defining event in the history of Europe. Several important political figures played essential roles in the unification of Germany. For example, Gorbachev mentioned that he was prepared for the event because it was inevitable: “We knew that when we pursued the principle of freedom of choice and non-interference in Eastern Europe, we also deprived West from interfering.” 3 The United States government supported Germany in the efforts to reach independence, with George Bush Senior stating that “we were in favor of German unity early on and felt events were moving properly”. 4 While Margaret Thatcher was initially opposed to the unification of Germany, she later stated that “to unify Germany would make her the dominant nation in the European community. They are powerful, and they are efficient.” 5 Thus, the future of Europe was defined by the event of unifying Germany into one independent country, changing a range of economic and political processes that would make the region what it is today. The fall of the wall facilitated globalization, which is a societal process associated with the “rise of the relative share of trans-border transactions as compared to within-border transactions. It is an ongoing social process which substantially changes the context of all kinds of political processes.” 6 Globalization is now considered among the causes contributing to the rising prosperity of Western Europe because it enabled the development of a successful European Union (EU) from economy with a single market to a political community since the unification of Germany into one sovereign state. Europe managed to enter a new stage of development within t
Information system comprises of the technology that collects, stores and processes information (Aberer and Martin-Flatin 3). Today, many firms and business organizations that compete globally are compelled to adapt information system technology or risk being faced out of business. The main importance of information system to any modern organization is to store its data and that of its associates and customers in a secure manner (Aberer and Martin-Flatin 5). Due to the increase in instances of fraud and data hacking, organizations have to ensure maximum protection and confidentiality of their data. Organizations also use information system to store and disseminate their data. This makes it easier and faster to access data, as it organized in a systematic order. Database technology is a system that shows a representation of the outside business environment in relation to the internal business. Examples include those found in the flight industry, banking and the stock exchange markets. This kind of representation is very essential in organizations today, as it helps business transactions to be easier and faster. For instance, if we were to calculate all the daily financial transactions in a bank, it would take several months as compared to using database technology where it takes a few minutes to perform various transactions. An enterprise system is application software that enables computation, storage and transmission of data in business processes. It is of great significance to modern organizations. These are software different from the retail software in that, they are specially designed for organizations’ operations. The software is business oriented for operations such as online payment, billing, customer relations and product catalogue. Different organizations have different enterprise systems that relate to their operations
Introduction The process of choosing a judge in Canada does not involve campaigning and election tactics like in other countries such as the United States. However, candidates are appointed after being subjected to rigorous and lengthy vetting procedures. This position requires all candidates to be or to have been lawyers, regardless of the court level, and have an experience of at least five years. Contrary to the election of judges, lawyers who have more than ten years of experience preside over the appointment process. Moreover, the selection of judges is conducted either provincially or federally by representatives at the court level following a universal process. Based on the two approaches to judge selection in Canada, this paper will discuss whether they should be appointed or elected. Judicial Electoral System According to a legislative research carried out in Canada a few years ago, the election of judges provides a platform where citizens have a voice in the selection process (Savchak 379). The procedure follows two approaches which include selection via contest election and community retention of the appointed judges. In either way, if the judge is a problem in the community, the citizens have powers to remove him/her from the position (Driscoll and Nelson 116). The eviction of a judge depends on specific wrongdoings or an action from other branches of the government within the state. Secondly, the electoral process promotes a more dynamic and responsive judiciary. Based on statistical analysis, the reappointment or life tenure of judges is determined by other branches of the government. Such systems, regularly, result in a stagnant or a long-serving judiciary (Redish and Aronoff 206). Therefore, electing judges that the community trusts will most likely bring about change in the judiciary. As a result, a more responsive tribunal whereby the elected judge is held accountable, and the problematic judge is retained is encouraged. Contrarily to the advantages, elective or retaining judges system creates a judiciary that concretely beholds the whim of the political and citizens’ interests rather than the law (Driscoll and Nelson 116). Judges are supposed to make difficult decisions concerning the application of the Canadian without the communities’ criticism and fear of the political reprisal if the specified decision is unpopular. If a judge is subjected to a retention or re-election, then there is a high possibility for him/her to make a non-law based decisions that favor his next election (Redish and Aronoff 202). Judicial election critics suggest that such situation disrupts the roles of the court and makes it impartial and unfair. This one negative is cited concerning the systems where judges stand to contest for an election, both non-partisan and partisan. A contested election requires a judge to spend some time to raise and campaign. Seemingly, the two activities are at odds with the impartiality of the courts. To combat this situation, the communities or states that are holding judicial contests should have strict rules and regulations in their conduct codes (Way 45). Nevertheless, even the
Introduction Leadership is one of the most critical elements in the existence of organisations and societies. Lussier and Achua (2010) are of the view that the success of organisations and the overall society is determined by leadership behaviour. Organisations are progressively considering leadership as a fundamental strategic management aspect. For example, in their staffing process, firms are selecting job candidates characterised by leadership skills and potential. The significance of leadership in attaining sustainable development especially within organisations has increased the rate at which firms are investing in leadership training programs. Leadership should not only be confined to employees with organisational authority such as managers. On the contrary, it is an aspect that should be possessed by all employees. Organisations in the UAE are amongst the firms that have been appreciating the importance of leadership in the last decade. The leadership-training programs aim at creating future leaders, hence transforming the organisation’s performance. Despite the significance of leadership in attaining long-term organisational excellence, there has been extensive debate as to whether leaders are born or made. Some scholars and management practitioners are of the view that leaders are made through nurturing. Conversely, others are of the view that leaders are naturally born. Thus, leadership is an innate phenomenon and education can only be used to refine it. This research paper is based on the assumption that leaders are born and not made. The paper will help organisations design leadership programs that will improve the selection of job candidates. This goal will be achieved by assisting decision-makers to observe and understand who could be a real leader. Literature review Leaders are born The leadership role presents a challenge in many organisations and society in general. One of the major sources of challenge entails the dynamic nature of the contemporary business environment and society. Firms encounter new issues daily that should be resolved effectively. The issues require the adoption of unique resolutions. Therefore, in the course of constituting their human capital base, firms must undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the job candidates’ characteristics to understand their traits (Kouzes & Posner, 2010). Research on leadership has been dominated by charismatic and transformational leadership theories over the past few years. According to Lussier and Achua (2010), the two theories presuppose that leadership in the contemporary environment is only effective if it based on inspirational and emotional influences. Thus, effective leadership is based on the extent to which the organisational leaders are not only committed to achieving the predetermined goals but also on strengthening em
Introduction Every culture and religion has its own unique traditions, views, and ways of living and as such, it comes as no surprise that such a divergence would also include unique perspectives on God and his inherent relationship with humanity. In this paper what will be explored are the different perspectives of Christianity, Islam and Judaism regarding God and how these views factor into their fundamental understanding of their relationship with God. It is expected that by the end of this paper readers will be able to learn of unique facets of each individual religion and how their views are formed in light of their individual interpretations of the Almighty. Rejection of the Holy Trinity and Jesus as the Son of Man One of the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith is its focus on the holy trinity which is composed of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit each aspect, while separate, is part of God as a greater whole and thus comprises the fundamental interpretation of God under Christian Theology. For Islam, such an interpretation goes against its fundamental concept of monotheism referred to as tawhid. This is not to say that the Christian faith is centered on a belief in a triumvirate of three distinct Gods rather under Christian theology the holy trinity is the manner in which God chooses to reveal himself to humanity and each aspect delves into a particular nature of his being. For Christians the Holy Trinity cannot be considered distinct separate parts of the whole but rather a combined being with aspects that are beyond human comprehension to successfully interpret and are thus perceived as three distinct aspects of one single entity. Under the Islamic faith such a view can be considered blasphemous since it is an affront to the Muslim concept of Shahadah which is a creed in Islam which states that God is a unique and indivisible being (Volf, 20). In this case the Holy Trinity is thus viewed as polytheistic since under Islam God cannot be separated into different aspects but rather is a unique whole that cannot be separated (Volf, 20). In fact, it is based on this particular view that Islam rejects the idea of Jesus Christ as the son of God since under the tawhid there is but one God and is thus incomparable, indivisible and is not part of humanity at all. Judaism has a similar stance regarding God being indivisible and not having multiple persons within the same deity, in fact, such a view reflects the same tenets as the “oneness” described in Islamic texts which place an emphasis on the “oneness” and uniqueness of the Lord (Novak, 17). Such a view may explain the initial reaction of the Pharisees regarding Jesus as the son of God since for them God cannot be divisible into different aspects (The Gospel according To St. Mark, 1 – 50). This particular view goes against the Christian view that Jesus was the son of God that died for our sins and thus redeemed us all (The Gospel According To St. Mark, 1 – 50). To accept the Islamic view regarding an indiv
Why a teacher is a legitimate authority Teachers are the legitimate authority because they are a fundamental part of our society. Teachers provide education and install responsibility and moral principles in students. Moreover, they ensure student success by mentoring and motivating them. Therefore, a person possesses a significant amount of authority over their students by being a teacher. The type of respect a teacher should be shown Students must demonstrate solid acceptance and respect for teachers’ authority. In addition, through education and guidance, teachers help solve various problems, such as poverty, unemployment, and family issues. The type of respect a teacher is currently shown Unfortunately, not all members of society understand the importance of the teacher in the development of society. Many members of this profession face disrespect and criticism. Evidence of respect to a teacher Based on the Harvard Business Review, there are many examples of teachers’ strikes that have happened in West Virginia, Arizona, and North Carolina, among other states, because of the disrespect towards teachers. The fundamental reasons are poor pay, increased health care costs, and low school funding. Teachers argued that the government sees them as fungible costs of production. Education is vital to provide a better living for every citizen; therefore, teachers should be respected. This article demonstrates a problem of disrespect and abuse that teachers face daily from their students. Moreover, there is plenty of disregard, insults, and threats that teachers report in order to fight injustice. According to the article, the Google survey was shared via email with teachers. The results show that more than sixty percent of teachers faced verbal abuse in the classroom and approximately fifty-eight stated that students abused them verbally in the hallway. The basis of disrespect shown to a teacher Notably, many teachers are outraged that their students or even government treat them like service personnel. Teachers are shown disrespect because of misunderstanding of the profession’s importance, student resentment, and inability to accept the teachers’ authority. The appropriate way to voice concerns or disagreements with a teacher An appropriate way to voice concerns with a teacher would be a polite conversation or a meeting where students can express their suggestions for improvement. Disrespectful behaviors, threats, violenc
Robert Frost is well known as the author of poems that address the world of nature and human feelings. The author expresses the emotions and hesitations of his heroes through vivid images of nature and metaphors, as well as using the poems’ structure. Thus, the main particularity of his works is that they can be interpreted in different ways. One of the best examples of the author’s techniques is the poem “Acquainted with the Night”. As it has already been mentioned, the poem can be interpreted in different ways. One of the interpretations, that we are going to provide in this paper, deals with the explanation of the subject and theme of the poem. The poem is about a lonely person who feels isolation from the society. Thus, the protagonist of the poem experiences depression. The unwillingness to express emotions and feeling of loneliness and depression are the main issues addressed in the poem which present its theme. The subject of the poem is the loneliness that every person can feel from time to time. The protagonist of the poem wonders around the town unwilling to talk to somebody and express his thoughts and feelings: “I have passed by the watchman on his beat / And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain” (Frost 5, 6). Indeed, it is a feeling that every individual can experience when it is impossible to say what you want as nobody around can understand you. This makes him feel an outsider in the community he lives in. He knows that nobody thinks about him and nobody will call him: “When far away an interrupted cry / Came over houses from another street, / But not to call me back or say good-bye” (Frost 9-11). Hears the sounds of human voices and understanding that they are not addressing him, the protagonist’s feeling of loneliness and isolations becomes bigger. As the protagonist is wondering aimlessly around the town, he understands that his life is senseless. This idea can be heard in the fi
