Thesis Statement Despite its complexity and the efforts that it demands from a student in terms of the domains that have to be mastered, the skills that have to be learned and the information that needs to be acquired, being a business administrator is one of the most interesting jobs that the present-day education has to offer in the field of economics and management. Acquiring the knowledge that a business administrator must possess will help learn to not only manage a team of employees, but also monitor numerous business processes, use strategic planning efficiently and be a successful leader, especially when it comes to making a career in business development, be it managing a restaurant chain or a pharmaceutical company. My Experience and Its Relation to the Business Administration Domain Being an average employee is much harder than it may seem; being a leader is even harder since the pressure of the responsibility is much heavier. However, being employed as a business administrator must be the most complicated and at the same time, the most exciting stage of one’s career. Unlike a company leader, a business administrator is hardly noticeable –, clients may even be completely unaware of their existence – yet a truly irreplaceable element of any firm. Scheduling, arranging, checking, and carrying out several other and more specific tasks, a business administrator is an element that no corporate mechanism can work without. I have had quite an impressive experience in management in general and business administration in particular. To start with, I have been assisting my father, who owns a small pharmacy company, in running the firm and have learned quite several crucial d
Literacy is a skill that is never late to acquire because it is essential for education, employment, belonging to the community, and ability to help one’s children. Those people, who cannot read, are deprived of many opportunities for professional or personal growth. Unwillingness to become literate can be partly explained by lack of resources and sometimes shame; yet, these obstacles can and should be overcome. First, one can say that literacy is crucial for every person who wants to understand the life of a society. It is also essential for ability to critically evaluate the world and other people. In his book, Frederick Douglass describes his experiences of learning to read. Being a slave, he had very few opportunities for education. Moreover, planters were unwilling to teach their slaves any reading skills because they believed that literacy would lead to free thinking and slaves’ aspirations for freedom (Douglass, 96). Overall, they were quite right in their assumption because literacy gives people access to information, and they understand that they can achieve much more than they have. This can be one of the reasons for learning to read. Yet, literary is essential for many other areas of life, for example, employment. Statistical data show that low-literate adults remain unemployed for approximately six months of the year (Fisher, 211). This problem becomes particularly serious during the time when economy is in the state of recession. It is particularly difficult for such people to retain their jobs especially when businesses try to cut their expenses on workforce. One should take into account that modern companies try to adapt new technologies or tools, and the task of a worker is to adjust to these changes. Thus, literacy and language proficiency are important for remaining competitive. Furthermore, many companies try to provide training programs to their employees, but participation in such programs is hardly possible with basic reading skills. Thus, these skills enable a person to take advantage of many opportunities. Additionally, one has to remember that without literacy skills people cannot help their children who may struggle with their homework assignments. Moreover, ability to read enables a person to be a part of the community in which he or she lives. In his essay The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society , Jonathan Kozol eloquently describes the helplessness of illiterate people. This helplessness manifests itself in a variety of ways; for example, one can mention inability to read medicine prescriptions, contracts, ballot papers, official documents, and so forth (Kozol, unpaged). While speaking about these people, Jonathan Kozol uses the expression “an uninsured existence” which means that they are unaware of their rights, and others can easily exploit them (Kozol, unpaged). To a great extent, illiterate individuals can just be treated as second-class citizens. This is a danger that people should be aware of. To be an active member of a community, one has to have access to a variety of informational resources, especially, books
Introduction The United States has had an eventful relationship with countries of Latin America. Latin America has historically been the US’s backyard as far as foreign policy is concerned (Cottam 4). Given its diversity and active politics, various US administrations since Kennedy have focused on different issues including military operations to achieve predetermined political and social ambitions, narcotics control, humanitarian interventions and economic aid to Latin America. Sullivan reinforces Cottam’s suggestion that US policy concerns in Latin America mainly center on US funding for democracy projects, oil issues, human rights concerns, counter-narcotics and concerns about Venezuela’s involvement in Latin American politics (3). US policy images on Venezuela Relations A keen observer can easily note that Venezuela features in all the above policy issues. Hugo Chavez had led the country since 1998 safe for a brief period in 2002 when he was overthrown through popular protests and pressure from the military. Given his position as leader of the country, his stance on US policies and his pursuit of populist policies in the country and elsewhere in Latin America, Chavez remains a key figure to success or failure of US policies in Venezuela. Despite close relations between US and Venezuela, there has been friction between him and various US administrations. During all those times, US foreign officials have been careful on their wording on Venezuela, especially stressing on the need for Chavez to accommodate some of the opposition’s grievances and Chavez’s adherence to democratic principles. It is important to note that the US’s approach in Venezuela is chiefly aimed at ensuring a continued steady supply of oil to the US at a reasonable and stable price. According to Clemente, some scholars on US’s Latin American policy conclude that US foreign policy officials view Latin American people, including Venezuela as temperamental, immature and incapable of self-governance (60). There is reluctance or plain lack of effort on the part of US officials to try to learn the exact needs of people of Venezuela. Clemente further asserts that many at times, US officials will ascribe negative moral traits to Latin American leaders like Chavez when these leaders oppose policies fronted by the US in South America (60). The above view by US officials fuels the image of inferior people in Venezuela, who have to subscribe to superior and seemingly “correct” US direction in the region. This perhaps informed the Bush administration’s support of the coup in Venezuela and support for opponents of Chavez in the pretext of promoting democracy. Implications The result of the above approach has been formulation of a somehow flawed US policy on Venezuela that is character
It is generally accepted that the cyber environment provides people with both positive opportunities such as self-realization or creativity and negative ones involving specific problems. Unfortunately, the digital space can also become an atmosphere of involving children and adolescents in criminal acts, thus bringing to psychological issues by means of mobbing, cyber-fraud, embezzlement of money from an electronic parental purse, pornography, pedophiles’ acquaintance with children, free access to extremist websites, sale of drugs through the Internet, etc. Due to age characteristics, the insufficient educational activity of parents, the provision of unlimited opportunities in the online environment, and also due to the low media literacy of the population, people can become victims of cybercrime and sometimes even turn into criminals. In this connection, it is of great importance to identify potential problems that are encountered by law enforcement when computer crime organizations cannot ensure the safety and security of users. Nowadays, people live in the era of the information society when computers and telecommunication systems cover all the spheres of human and state life. Focusing on telecommunications and global computer networks, it was impossible to foresee the opportunities for abuse these technologies could create. Today, among victims of criminals who operate in virtual space, there are not only adults but also children. Even though computer crime laboratories continuously update their products to ensure the safety and security of users, forensic computing faces plenty of problems. Online games are one of the most popular activities on the Internet, along with searching web pages and socializing (Britz, 2013). The main threats faced by users involve the following points:   * Phishing. The criminal web-environment generates many fake gaming sites. Some of them use URLs that are very similar to the addresses of real websites. An unsuspecting player is threatened not only by malicious programs but also by traps that can steal
Abstract Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, a corporate personality of a government establishment, aims at providing suitable housing in Dubai to the nationals of Emirates. It does this by offering services that are entirely related to housing of the nationals under a sole umbrella via a wide range of alternatives. Some of the alternatives used include granting ready houses, residential plots, extending and maintaining current houses, governmental houses and offering loans for houses depending on the standards and policies that are adopted by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (Bridgman 100). Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment profoundly contributes to the stimulation of the national economy through activating strategic partnerships with both the public and private sector and the execution of investment projects. The list of nationals who are entitled to the allocation of housing in Al Mihar 1 area which is adjacent to the old Mushref Shaabeyya is approved practically by the board of directors under directions and instructions of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum together with the direction of His Highness Sheikh Hamda Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid who is the Dubai Crown prince. Introduction The main issue of this project is to discuss and evaluate Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment in terms of characteristics of the policy regulation, history of the policy regulation and assessment of the cost and benefits of the project intervention. Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment is a leading bank in Dubai region. It executes its agreements in support of mortgage financing and funding of the nationals of the UAE (Blakemore 197). Normally the loan packages are provided to the residences where there are completed houses or constructions in progress by the individual owners only. In performing its duties, Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment remains focused to its strategic objective, to build and expand further its partnerships with banks, private sectors and mortgage financiers in order to provide enhanced home loan solutions to the nationals of UAE. In explaining the context of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment projects and agreement, it is of high significance to state that the agreement to fund mortgages was signed by the Assistant Executive Director for the Financial Affairs, Mohammed Hamid Al Marri and the Group Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Jamal Said Bin Ghalaita in the presence of the senior officials from Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment and Emirates NBD. During the signing of the agreement, the objective was reinstated by Mohammed Al Marri that this was to re-ene
Introduction Every state has its own features that differentiate it from the others. Geostrategic is a terminology that is used to enhance one’s understanding of geography and politics of a country. The term, which is a subfield of geopolitics, is associated with a foreign policy that is normally guided by the geography of a country. It is, therefore, a means to an end. Geostrategy helps countries to deal with the various issues they face. The geographical outlook of a country is the mother of strategies that countries use in dealing with various issues affecting them including demographics, politics, topographic, and geologic matters. This paper uses Burma as a case study country in explaining and elaborating various geostrategic concepts of the country. The four concepts that the paper will investigate include climate change, historical conflicts, religious ideologies, and the population of Burma. Population Burma is one of the countries that have an averagely high population. As per the 2012 report, the population of the country is currently 54,584,650 (Omundi, 2012, Para. 6). The population consists of the aged, the middle-aged, and children below the age of 14. The population consists majorly of the middle-aged between 15 to 64 years, which is approximated at 18,342,696. The population growth rate is 1.07 % (Omundi, 2012, Para. 7). Various factors explain this slow population growth rate. These include the increased rate of death of people who are suffering from HIV and other chronic diseases, as well as the high mortality rates among infants. A larger percentage of the population of Burma people live in rural areas. Approximately 34% of the entire population lives in urban centers. These demographics are indispensable for the future strategic planning of the country, as well as foreign countries or interested parties who would like to enter any kind of relationship with the country. The government should come up with a strategy to ensure that people from rural areas access fundamental amenities to live well like those living in urban centers. Major cities that host many people in Burma include Rangoon, which is the capital city. It has an approximate of 4.259 million people (Omundi, 2012, Para. 9). Other cities include Nayi PyiTaw and Mandalay. Population in the capital city is high and will increase in the future, as many people flock to cities to search for jobs and greener pastures. There is a need for authorities to come up with appropriate plans to deal with the expected increase in population. In densely populated areas, the crime rate increases, pollution is also experienced due to the high consumption of foods and careless littering. All these issues need to be factored in Burma’s strategic plan to ensure its city is safe and clean. Furthermore, more houses should be built to cater for the increasing number of people or the immigrants who come from various parts of the country and outside the country. Other ethnic groups that live in Burma include Shan, Karen, Chinese, Rakhine, Mon, India, amongst others (Omundi. 2012, Para. 10). Burma is a country th
Objective The main objective of the given paper is to analyze the reasons of emergence of asthma among the elderly population, as well as research peculiarities of this group’s reaction to this condition as compared to other age groups with asthma. According to Vasmus, older people suffering from asthma are more sensitive to allergic reactions, impaired lung functions, and a considerably diminished quality of life (10). In the majority of cases, educating the elderly with asthma could pose challenges for all groups of patients. Inefficient treatment of asthma creates economic burdens as well and, therefore, the emergency departments and medical establishments should be more concerned with this problem. Methods/Procedure By investigating the environmental triggers, analyzing the current trends in medication management, and estimating people’s mental fitness and cognition, the scholar tries to define the way people react to the problem of asthma, as well as analyze their capacity to receive, process, and define the core information about health-related issues. By focusing on these three dimensions, the education specialist starts with evaluating the environmental factors, such as irritants, environmental tobacco smoke, and aeroallergens that are considered the risk factors for the emergence of asthma in all groups. Treating the problem of asthma in the elderly population is also perceived from the viewpoint of effective medication adherence and management. The role of healthcare professionals, therefore, consists in defining possible risks factors that relate to the disease development. Finally, educator defines patients’ ability to work out coping mechanisms that can help them to diminish the severity of the asthma symptoms. Results 75 % of the elderly with asthma are sensitive to inhaled allergens, although there is no persuasive evidence that proves the connection between asthma development and aeroallergen exposure (Vasmus 10). The report has also discovered that elderly patients with asthma often react best to the therapy that combines anticholinergic inhaled treatment and beta-2 agonist therapy. Finally, it has been found out that elderly people from 65 to 102 years old are largely influenced by cognitive impairment while treating asthma, including depression and stress disorder (Vasmus 11). The findings prove that 60 % of asthma patients follow the prescriptions of the physicians. Conclusions Although the report provides an extensive overview of risk factors, treatment, and medication management of asthma in the elderly population, there is still lack of research that can strengthen the quality of treatment for the group under consideration. Additionally, the research should also focus on other efficient interventions that can reduce the percentage of people with impaired lung functi
Background Bullying may occur at the workplace, schools, homes, and/or any other social setting. Research on bullying mainly focuses on its effects on people who have witnessed it. For example, Stop Bullying (2014) confirms that harassment affects people’s creativity levels, reduces morale, may cause accidents, influences moral and ethical judgment capacity, and/or hinders people from realizing their full potential in their areas of talent. Forero, McLellan, Rissel, and Bauman (2009) confirm that bullying is expressed in the form of sexual harassment, verbal abuse, physical torture, and psychological torture. It has the implications of making children fail to attend schools. Besides lowering employee productivity, it makes people treat others as objects. Typical examples of world bullies include Hitler and Stalin. The effects of bullying on the society are not well studied. For this reason, this paper objects to conduct a mixed research study on the implications of bullying. Problem Statement Cases of maltreatment are rampant in administrative centers and even learning institutions that accommodate people from diverse backgrounds. To overcome the challenges of harassment, it is important to establish how the society sees the problem so that possible solutions can be developed to address specific issues that are associated with it. Without this plan, any solution to overcome bullying lacks validity and reliability. Students in schools and workers in their workplaces need a good environment to not only converse, but also to participate in teamwork for them to lead productive lives. Bullying leaders may hinder this expectation, thus making it necessary to have tangible known effects of bullying in societal settings to facilitate the development of appropriate policies to manage it. Purpose The purpose of any research is to specify the primary thing that it aims to achieve. The proposed research will identify the effects of bullying in schools, homes, and workplaces. This information will help in the formulation of policies to manage it within these social settings. Objectives The primary objective of the proposed research encompasses studying the effects of bullying in schools, homes, and in workplaces. The paper conducts primary and an intensive secondary research on the same issue. Secondary research is critical in the development of a background to the research, which helps in determining the validity of the problem and suggested research methodologies. This section is critical in ens
The car is the most important object in the twentieth century where it is viewed as freedom for movement and escapes from troubles. Since the introduction of automobiles, artists and wealthy individuals have used it as a subject and object used to perpetuate modern myths. This is also through the past stories of winged horse Pegasus which helped finish various dangerous aims but it lost at the end because of warriors’ excess ego; this also applies directly to the human race. Cars then pose a lot of dangers to a beautiful future. Consumerism is a word or a term that is used to illustrate and describe the end results of equating personal happiness with the power of purchasing material possessions and their usage. Karl Marx and Thorstein Veblen were among the first to criticize consumption even though it started with human civilizations. Car culture is the idea behind current skepticism and the direct rejection of the automobile as a metaphoric savior. After the Second World War, the economies of the western world developed and boomed. This led to the birth of consumer-based economies that seemed endless. The idea of having a car developed as early as 1920, but the great depression and World War II made it difficult and expensive to own a car. The factors that led to this include government reducing the speed limit from 40 miles per hour to 35. This was to reduce the gas used and take care of the car tires. (Lee, 2000) This changed the consumers’ minds and they started using trains and buses. During these periods consumers worked hard to be able to purchase cars when normalcy returned and also to provide for their basic needs. After World War II the boom period of cars developed because there was a change when military car manufactures decided to switch to private cars. Then, these new automobiles (private cars) became the most used for movement. This for the government side led to the development of more roads and also rules and laws were passed for the control of these automobiles. (Fox and Jackson, 1983) During this period after World War II, men have perceived as breadwinners and most of them used their private cars to commute to work or to nearby trains and bus stops so as to enable them to continue their journeys to offices or factories. On the other side, the women used these cars after dropping their husbands to at work to take the kids to school and pick them up later in the evenings and also they used them for shopping. Teenagers were not left behind, the automobile to them was freedom and credibility of the status to their peers whether they were going to colleges or using them for leisure. The era of race cars also motivated the manufactures and the buyers, that is, after a car won a race the consumers could order the car and this boosted its manufacturing. (Aaker and George, 1994) During this car consumerism period, the power of owning a car mostly was viewed as a certain social class privilege and also to some was a demand. In this period some consumers owned more than one car. Also, the compensation that the soldiers and
