Introduction This article discusses training and development in healthcare field. The value of training and education in this field is discussed together with the importance of measuring competencies learned through training forums. The process of tracking and evaluating training effectiveness is also outlined and finally a conclusion is drawn. Training and Education in Health Care Training and education in the field of healthcare are very vital. This is simply because the field is evidence based and always improving. Professionals in this field need to be informed and trained on the latest advances in the field. Minor adjustments in this field often have amplified results. Keeping abreast with new developments through education and training therefore helps to ensure that the best evidence based practices are upheld. It is worth noting that education in theory and practice has to be done hand in hand. Having a solid theoretical background is vital to ensuring that training is carried out well however, theory alone without training will be meaningless. Education and training help in enhancing the efficiency of medical care; errors are pointed out and remedial measures suggested. Sharing of knowledge through symposiums and other platforms helps to ensure that only the best practices are upheld (HSRIC, 2013). Education and training may also be carried out on communication tools. How a provider interacts with patients is of significance as it determines how much the provider will understand the life of the patient. Interacting well with a patient is especially significant for the cases of counseling. It helps the provider to pick the best approach of treatment (HSRIC, 2013). Education and training also helps in ensuring that healthcare providers are compliant with the requirements of the healthcare field as pertains to their practice. Non-compliance with the set rules and regulations may lead to a revocation of a practitioner’s certificate. Being informed on one’s area of practice also reduces the risk of being involved in legal suits as a result of malpractices (HSRIC, 2013). Importance of Measuring Competencies Measuring of competency levels is significant in the healthcare field for various reasons as discussed below. Healthcare Reform : The need to reform the healthcare field has necessitated measuring of competency of practitioners and new graduates. It is assumed that one of the fac
The high population and improved living conditions of the people of Fremantle, Western Australia and its environs offer a business opportunity for a theme park. The main target of the park will be the youth and kinds; this target population by extension involves parents accommodating them into the park. To ensure that the firm enters in the market effectively and remain competitive, the management needs to undertake a situational analysis and develop marketing objectives of the project (Paul & Donnelly, 2010). This paper discusses the situational analysis and marketing objectives of the project. Situational analysis When developing the project, the effects of the project in terms of qualitative and quantitative measures; it should ensure that internal strengths and weaknesses have been well interpolated. A business operates in an environment with people who have different cultures, way of doing things, economic and cultural beliefs; the park targets the local people thus an understanding of the societal dynamics of the people is important. The Australian population is growing from an increased birth rates and immigrations; these will offer the park an increased business. On the other hand, the improved living condition of the people of Fremantle and western Australian in general will offer the park high customer inflow (Pearce & Robinson, 2011). It is important for business coordination be in harmony with the social function of the larger society. There should be coordination between the values of the company as well as the community. Social norms are considered essential by the business organizations as the purchasing behavior of the customers living in a particular society is dominantly affected by these norms. Australia has good communication and transport system that will assist the company tap business from different areas; this includes using the internet as form of advertising to meet the potential customers from different parts of the world (Rakesh, 2005) Australia has legislation laws that a firm must comply with if it has to undertake business in the country. Companies have to follow the companies’ laws and acts of the international business as well as domestic business. While working on the global level, the companies have to consider three types of the legal systems including common law, civil law, and theocratic law. Hospitality industry is faced with increased laws since there is need for health laws compliance. The non-compliance with such laws creates critical legal issues for the company which has an adverse impact on the business performance as well as corporate image of the company (Mintzberg, Ghoshal, Lampel & Quinn, 2003). Australia has a monarch kind of government, this does not mean that the country’s political wave is one sided but the resultant is that there is an influence that it has on the business environment. Political environment includes the government systems and judiciary systems, which influence the business of the international organizations. The political way may determine things such as where the roads are going to be made, who maintains them among other fa
Martin Luther King and Malcolm X came from community activist families with minister fathers and experienced racism in their youth. Nevertheless, Martin had a respectable social circle, a cozy home, and a friendly atmosphere. His early hatred of white people faded as he got older and had more positive experiences with them. He took advantage of several educational opportunities to develop his outstanding talents. Martin Luther King was chosen as the president of Montgomery Improvement Association “after completing his Ph. D. in theology at Boston University” (Nieman 149). Malcolm X grew up in a ruined home: racists murdered his father, his mother was harassed by the state and then institutionalized, and he lived in foster families. Despite his deep intelligence, he was discouraged by the fact that every white is meaningful because of the skin color (Schulist). This truth inspired him to progress, and he taught blacks that whites must be disarmed. While spending time in Harlem, Malcolm became addicted to the underworld and was thrown into prison, where he educated himself, converted to Islam, and became Minister Malcolm X. The environment of two leaders formed their approaches to the civil rights struggle. The goal of Dr. King was to eliminate legal obstacles to civil rights for black people and put together southern society to create an environment with healthy and positive interaction between blacks and whites. This struggle was not easy since “court decisions and statutes attacking the South’s caste system would meet massive, determined, ingenious, and often violent resistance from whites determined to preserve their power and privilege” (Nieman 150). Later, Dr. King was disappointed with whites’ behavior and attitude towards blacks and focused on social justice issues and poverty. Malcolm X initially considered white society to be irreparably spoiled and called blacks to learn to love themselves regardless of whites’ opinions. Later, however, he based his position on the idea that white society is full of corrupt values that must be eliminated so that black society could gain their rights. Dr. King was primarily a political activist who sought to pressure politicians
Summary There has been remarkable increase in oil prices in all parts of the world. Many have argued that the world is running out of crude oil deposits while others believe that there is still enough to last for a long time arguing that there are more wells to be explored and more efficient refineries to be built. World oil prices are driven by many factors. The leading factor is the increase in demand of oil due to growing economies in china and United States. The rising demand has out spaced the world production capacity and the trend offsets the prices. Political instabilities in oil producing countries have continuously led to reduced production. The problem has been compounded by the fact that new technologies to refine crude oils and new oil fields have not provided a solution to the problem. There are worries that rising oil prices could slow down the growth of the world economy. The effects of rising oil prices have also been felt in the dining table as it has not only resulted in high food prices but also corn has been used as a substitute to produce bio-fuel. The organization of petroleum-exporting countries OPEC promised to increase the production by half a million a day. But this is disputed by experts who argue that increase in production may not help in solving the oil crisis since the problem is not production of crude oil but rather the refinery process. The current oil crisis problem can be only solved by drilling new wells and refineries to increase amount of oil to consumers which takes time and money. It is estimated that the world will not run out of oil reserves but it is feared that producers will run out of capacity to produce to meet world demand. In order to increase the current supply of oil, there is need to improve oil extraction technology as the current technology operates at 40% efficiency. Discussion Oil crisis have rocked the word for a long time and the problem seems not going away soon. From November 2001, oil price per barrel has continued to rise to date and is currently selling at $100. This has been due to rising demand in China and America with the demand in China growing at 12 to 15 percent per year and America consuming quarter of world oil demand every day. Demand has suddenly out spaced production due to low production technology which enable the world to exploit only 40% of the total oil reserve. Low production has also been compounded by political instability in majority of the OPEC region like Nigeria a

Allen E. Buchanan (2002)  The rise of ethical views         Moral rights                         One can have legitimate power only if such right is morally justified.                          Over the years, the views of people on political power and its justification transformed. Thus, St. Paul, Locke, Jefferson, and Buchanan offer different explanations for the source and nature of such influence. Various political, social, and cultural events affected their perception of political legitimacy. This paper aims to summarize the opinion of St. Pule, Locke, Jefferson, and Buchanan and provide an explanation for the evolution of legitimate power perception. St. Paul’s view on government and power was primarily affected by the Cristian religion. His perspective can be summarized by the quote “let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established” (“Romans 13:1-5”, n.d., para. 1). Religion was among the primary forces that guided lives of people, which provided a basis for St. Paul’s opinion. The divine origins of authority imply that power comes directly from God. Due to the fact that his influence cannot be questioned in accordance with Christian religious beliefs, a ruler of a particular territory is believed to have ultimate authority. Such an approach is dictated by the establishment of Christian Church which occurred in the time when St. Paul formed his perception of political legitimacy. John Locke believed that natural laws should guide the process of obtaining and obeying legitimate power. In his opinion, each individual is governed by moral standards, regardless of his or her political views. Locke (2016) states that people are “constantly exposed to the invasion of others … and the greater part no strict observers of equity and justice, the enjoyment of the property he has in this state is very unsafe” (p. 130). Thus, although humans naturally aim to have freedom, its uncertainty results in fear, to create a system in which people are mutually united. Additionally, common consent, which is the result of such cooper
Poverty has a high negative impact on the environment. In developing countries, while the poor to relative unproductive areas while the rich live in the most productive areas. To sustain their livelihoods in such unproductive areas, there will be little consideration for the environment leading activities like cutting of trees or planting on riverbanks. This will lead to industrialization that will create an emerging middle class; a demand by the middle class for local agricultural and manufactured products will create an internal cycle of growth, eventually moving the country from a developing country. Economic growth, which favors the rich, will not reduce poverty in a developing country. A focus by the government on equitable growth through income redistribution will improve the quality of life of the poor through serving their essential needs of housing, healthcare, education or even food security. Further, economic development should not lead to vulnerability to crises. This includes natural crises like hunger, floods and drought as well as market crises such as fall in prices. To ensure this, developing countries should have long-term development plans that will cushion its citizens especially the poor from such crises. Example is storing food after harvests in silos to store food, which help avert hunger. (Our common future 1986) Use of appropriate technology such as use of energy efficient modes of industrial production will reduce energy use in production thus cut back on energy use, which is a significant factor of environmental degradation through pollution. Use of proper technology practices in farming in developing countries can reduce the poverty levels. Modern farming technology will increase productivity of agriculture thus increase returns. Secondly, it will use of appropriate technology in storage and production can reduce waste especially in agricultural activities thus increase food security. Reduction of pollution by industries specifically air, land and water pollution through recycling of effluents to environmentally manageable levels are a step in the right direction. Use of sources of energy such as wind power or geothermal power that have a less environmental impact will improve environmental conservation efforts. Further, sustainable mining especially of non-renewable sources while taking environmental impact assessment will reduce their footprint on the environment. (Bauman, H. & Tillman, A., 2004) A successful agricultural policy is a combination of economic self-interest and environmental conservation. The introduction of commercial tree planting on hill slopes and dry areas can improve the water retention of the soil and reduce soil erosion. Further, focus on long-term agricultural development instead of short term growth will, for example, embracing organic farming will attract higher sales income and maintain long term agricultural productivity. (Our common future 1986) An economy’s productivity is in the form of gross domestic capita (GDP). In developing countries,
Introduction The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) that was signed in to law in 1996 has been successful in reducing the number of welfare claimants in the country. It was the first serious attempt by American legislatures to free millions of the poor from yokes of dependency on federal, state and local governments. However, the institutions and systems that were put in place ended up converting a new group of working Americans known as “working Poor”, which means hardworking employees that were still tied in poverty (International Labor Organization, 705). Continued discrimination, mistreatment from employers, lack of skills, and federal paternalism are termed as the cause of “working poor’s” woes. But is it true? That’s what this paper will address, and will apply institutional and systems theories to achieve that goal. It is arranged in three sections. It will first analyze Barbara Ehrenreich theories, then present some policy initiatives that would have made PRWORA more effective and end by synthesizing on the several important points. An Analysis of Barbara Ehrenreich’ Theories Ehrenreich provides a detailed day to day life of the working poor that she experienced as an undercover researcher. Her accounts are consistent with other accounts of the working lives of former welfare claimants. She however brings new insight like the reality that one job cannot do it for the working poor; they have to get into several jobs to survive. She asserts that the transition from welfarism to the job market with several months assistance from state and federal authorities does not really prepare claimants for the “working poor ” lives they end up living. Reason: all jobs, including the lowest in the informal sector needs some skills that the people never get to develop because situations force them to migrate from one job to another. The squat supply of low rent accommodation in their localities lead to situations where some even pay higher rent than their salaries, which further demands second or even third survive. This further raises the importance of constant migration from job to job in search of better pay. Moving to new jobs require relocating to places closer to work, which comes with new challenges such as housing, transport and assimilation to new environment. This transition is even harder for minorities, disabled, and the poor with children. Some of those theories are very valid while others leave unanswered questions. The subsequent section explains why some theories are agreeable while others are not. Agreeable Theories Ehrenreich correctly asserts that working poors’ liberties are grossly abused by employers. This starts even before they are employed, as they get subjected to rigorous selection process th
Central Idea/Thesis Statement: The U.S. Department of Education should not use grades to define student’s intelligence and performance because  1. grading system depends on the judgment of a professional teacher, but not the learners,  2. the performance of a student relies on his/her focus on learning,  3. grading system varies in schools. Introduction  1. (Attention Getter) “Most of the criticisms of grading you will hear today were laid out forcefully and eloquently between four to eight decades ago” (McDaniel et al. 360).  2. (Establish Controversy/Justify Topic) Grades have been used to measure the performance of learners for centuries, though its use has been under dispute.      1. It is not the first time this debate of grading is popping up. The effects of grading learners are two-sided, meaning that it has pros and cons.      2. Curriculum developers are divided over this matter.          1. There are those who argue that it is the only available way of measuring the performance and intelligence.          2. Others feel that teachers should exploit other means because some grades communicate the wrong information (Metallidou et al. 254).      3. I form side with the group of curriculum developers who are against the use of grades.  3. (Credibility Statement) I respect the education system, but still disagree with the performance measurement by using grades.      1. Throughout my education, I have been reading articles and magazines in order to find ways of improving my grade
The discussion of this exegetical paper will explore Galatians 4:1-7. This passage is rather short; however, its contents are deep and meaningful. The paper will examine the words of Paul from the rhetoric and literary point of view, and consider the historical context and the background of the Galatians to whom the author speaks. Besides, the discussion will view the passage not as a separate statement, but in a combination with the ones around it. Finally, from the literary point of view, the passage will be characterized as a concluding part of the previous section. Overall, Galatians 4:1-7 has an explanatory and inspirational character; even though it is separated from the previous section as an individual statement, the themes of both parts are connected; this division might be made due to its powerful emotional content of the passage, so it serves as the link between two sections. The Galatians For the fuller understanding of the meaning of the passage, one is to consider its name as it presents the people to whom the author addresses his words, the Galatians, Paul’s converts from paganism in need of an explanation of what being a Christian stood for. 1 The first words of the passage are “What I am saying is”, this indicates that Paul is addressing his audience to explain some very important tenets of Christianity; he continues, “as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father”. 2 As pointed out by Martin Luther, the Apostle begins his explanation with a clear illustration. 3 It is possible to theorize that Paul employed this kind of demonstration to make his point more accessible since he was speaking to simple people many of whom might have been uneducated. The Meaning of Passage The true depth of Paul’s comparison and its meaning can be revealed when the passage is viewed in the context of those that stand before it. Namely, in Galatians 3:26 the Apostle says, “So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ”; this sentence makes it clear that Paul attempts to demonstrate the connection between people and God through the acceptance of Jesus. Besides, in Galatians 4:8 the author emphasizes, “Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods”; this passage also helps to understand the previous one. Paul’s choice of comparison is very precise as he uses the relationship between a lord and his heir to illustrate the place the Christians occupy embracing the legacy of Jesus. As pointed out by Fowler, before the arrival of Jesus, the people were to follow the legacy of Abraham and obey the law. 4 In Galatians 4:5-6, Paul says, “God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adop
