Introduction According to Rosemary R. (19970, “ A model can be defined as a person who poses or displays for purposes of art, fashion or other products and advertising.” Modeling industries therefore can be said to be firms that use models as a way of displaying art, fashion and marketing their products. There are various types of modeling. These types include the body part models that display their body parts in shows. Others are the fashion models that display different clothes designs that have been designed. Also fitness models, bikini and fine-art modeling. Models are highly paid in the modern world and enjoy a lot of attention from people all over the world. The fashion celebrities appear on various public articles or shows. The body types required for the models to have demand of them to maintain their body shape and sizes. For example, in Europe fashion shows, female models should be 1.79m tall, average weights of 50kg, waist (under 24.4 inches) and hips under 35.4 inches. For male models, average height is 6’2’ and weight between 64-75 kg. Due to the unusual thin shape of fashion models, most teenagers will prefer to maintain their bodies thin like those of models. This is due to the belief that beauty is defined by the models-like kind of body. Therefore, the thin shape of models has been criticized for changing women’s body image and also for encouraging eating disorders in teenagers. In this paper, modeling will be discussed to know whether it should blame for teenage eating disorder. An eating disorder can be said to be an urge to either eat or avoid eating. It is an unhealthy eating habit and has been observed to affect teenagers’.It affects a person’s physical and mental health negatively. This has raised concerns on the causes of the disorder and how it occurs. Eating disorders have been blamed on several factors, one of them being the modeling industry. Modelling industry uses models to display their products. These models require certain body size and shape that are considered being below the normal or average size in both men and women. The models influence on the teenagers is considered too great to cause eating disorders in them. Discussion Teenager eating disorders can be partly blamed on the modeling industry. The modeling industry demand very thin body shapes and sizes of the models. The teenagers tend to interpret the model’s body shape as beautiful. This is because of the media’s portraying of these body shapes and sizes as the ones that ultimately define beauty. The eating disorders in the teenagers (especially young girls) have mounted very great pressure on teenagers to be thin. The teenage girls have been said to adapt eating diso
The Oxus Treasure was found at the territory of Takht-i Kuwad, Tajikistan, in 1877. It includes a great variety of gold and silver items which belong to the period of the 4 th – 2 nd centuries BC. Nowadays these items are located in Great Britain in the British Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum. These treasures reflect the traditions of the art of the Achaemenid period, the peculiarities of the local Greek and Bactrian art, and the elements of the Scythian style. The griffin-headed bracelets are considered as the most famous examples of the Achaemenid art presented in the Oxus Treasure. Today two griffin-headed bracelets are located in the British Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum. First examples of the Oxus Treasure appeared at the markets of India in the 19 th century and attracted the merchants’ attention. The archeologists stated that the treasure was found near the Oxus River. However, there is no factual information about the peculiarities of their discovering. There are a lot of sources which describe the almost legendary story of the adventures of the treasures in the East (“Gold Griffin-Headed armlet from the Oxus Treasure”). Thus, one story tells about three merchants who were going from Kabul to Peshawar and were stolen by the nomadic people. They had golden and silver treasures which were bought in Kandiana. The local people had found the items at the coasts of the Oxus River. However, the British Captain F. C. Burton helped them and the golden and silver treasures hidden in small packets were returned to the merchants. In the morning the muggers came to the Captain because they were frightened with the perspective of being killed. The merchants were grateful to the Captain and asked him
Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder affecting people under the age of 19 years. It is characterized by continued patterns of inattention and Hyperactivity. ADHD presents itself during early childhood to school going children. There is no medical cure currently available hence it is classified as chronic or persistent medical condition. ADHD spears to be a hereditary neurobehavioral disorder and most children diagnosed with it retain it through adulthood. It becomes very hard for school going children with ADHD to concentrate in class room as they are not able to complete assignments and task, focusing is also an issue they have to contend with. These children are easily frustrated, angered, defeated and stressed making it hard for them to associate with other children in school. There are more complicated problems related to ADHD and it is for this reason that early testing of ADHD is very important. For a long time there have be no particular diagnostic test for ADHD. The combined contribution of professionals like speech therapist, psychologists, health advisor and teachers helps to determine if a person is suffering from ADHD. It is against this background that the new Biological ADHD testing has been received by many players in this field with much enthusiasm. The research, leading to the discovery of the Biological testing for ADHD was conducted in Thessaloniki, Greece with 65 children volunteering for the research. The research was based on close examination of the eye movement. According to the data presented by the researcher, the results for Biological testing are 93% accurate. The best part of the research is that the biological testing can be used to detect early cases of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children, leading to early treatment and management of the condition. In Biological Testing of ADHD, a child sits in front of a computer screen wearing special kind of spectacles for monitoring the eye movement of the child. During the 10 minutes test, the child is asked to look and lock his /her eye on a spot of light traversing the screen. There is a large difference in the eye movement of a child with ADHD compared to a normal child. A normal child follows the light for between 60 seconds to five minutes while a child with ADHD will follow the light for less than five seconds. Additional testing using different criteria like fixed light, smooth pursuit and light cascading also give very accurate results. This Biological ADHD Testing will greatly benefit children from the age of three years as it will reliably identify children who have ADHD, ensuring that early effective intervention are put in place, reducing loss of confidence and other psychological problems.

Introduction Listening to the speech by Steve Jobs is fascinating. Specifically, Stanford University speech is very motivational to anyone who aspired to build a successful career. The strengths that Steve Jobs talks about are the attitude of not settling for less and doing things that make an ina dividual happy. This speech is heavily based on encouragement to the 2005 class of Stanford University. Steve Jobs encourages this group to always pursue their dreams. He classifies the setbacks in life as a bridge of opportunity for improvement. Steve then proceeds to narrate past three bad experiences that he used as a stepping stone to success. Summary of the speech Steve is assertive and use commanding language across the speech. He has full control of the direction of the speech and strong mastery of the subject. The first story narrated by Steve is on what he calls connecting the dots. He reflects on how his mother intended to adopt him. Unfortunately, at birth, the family that was to adopt him changed their mind. However, another family adopted him and he joined Reed College at the age of 17. Despite the fact that his line of action to drop out of collage was risky at the time, he has learnt to follow instinct by only studying the courses he liked. Consequently, his success was based on personal initiative and not largely influenced by perceptions and views of people surrounding him. The s
The phenomenon of victim-blaming sparked controversy in recent years, with some of the major news outlets found guilty of sympathizing with criminals and accusing the victims of being responsible for the crime committed. Victim-blaming can have life-long consequences on the lives of crime victims, highlighting the need to stop the media’s scrutiny of the victims and focus on those really responsible for the crime instead. Victim-blaming occurs when criminals are given a higher social status opposite the victim, with the victim held responsible for the crime committed (Schoellkopf, 2012, p. 2). Victim-blaming is practiced by criminals, legal and health care professionals, and sometimes even by the victims themselves, and most recently, by the individuals on social networks. The most dangerous form of victim-blaming, however, occu
Abstract Successful leaders always focus on the changing expectations of their workers or followers. Different theories of leadership present powerful concepts and practices that can produce the best results. However, some leadership theories are biased and inappropriate such as the narcissistic model. This discussion highlights some of the lessons gained after completing the “Narcissism Assessment”. The essay also gives appropriate insights that can support the needs of many public health leaders. My Perspective on Narcissism The completed assessment has equipped me with new ideas regarding the inappropriateness of narcissism. This leadership theory is “characterized by negative aspects such as arrogance, hostility, dominance, and egoism” (Nahavandi, 2014, p. 138). That being the case, the leadership approach is extremely destructive and inapplicable in different settings. A narcissistic leader may not consider the needs of his followers. The person’s main goal is “to consolidate power and satisfy his or her desires” (Nahavandi, 2014, p. 129). Public health practitioners should therefore avoid this kind of leadership because it will affect the experiences of different populations. Experts argue that this leadership model has the potential to deliver the best results. However, it reduces the level of motivation. It also affects the well-being of every follower. The leadership approach can therefore affect the health outcomes of many underserved communities. New Insights Gained from the Assessment The results of the “Narcissism Assessment” encourage public health leaders to focus on the best practices to achieve their objectives. A narcissistic leader is usually authoritative and emotional. The strategy promotes unhealthy behaviors thus producing negative goals (Sarin & O’Connor, 2009). The assessment also explains how a healthy narcissistic approach can deliver positive outcomes. That being the case, public health professionals should borrow the best ideas and behaviors to achieve their objectives. It is also appropriate to have positive values and goals (Laureate Education, 2012). Public health leaders should also empower their communities in an attempt to improve their health outcomes. My Future Role as a Public Health Leader The above insights will impact my role as a future public health leader. To begin with, the assessment has highlighted the best behaviors that can make every leader successful. This can be achieved by avoiding various malpractices that discourage people from realizing their potential. A public health leader should embrace the most appropriate principles and behaviors. Such practices will deliver the best goals. For instance, public health leaders should be ready to empower their people. They should not be
Abstract Organizational structure and leadership are among the key factors influencing the functioning of large organizations. Positive leadership styles can help to improve employee attitudes and promote higher productivity. Moreover, leadership is a crucial part of change processes, as it affects the success of implementation and compliance. Organizational structure, on the other hand, affects internal communication within the organization. Large corporations are more exposed to communication issues due to their tall organizational structure, which might affect work processes and productivity. Using the example of Bechtel Corporation, this project aims to outline the effects of organizational structure and leadership on business processes, especially at a time of a major change. Project Outline The project is separated into seven distinctive parts, each one reviewing a particular aspect of the topic. The first part will review the current concept of organizational structure and its relation to work processes. The second part will provide personality type assessment results based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ typology. The third section will attempt to interpret the results from a leadership perspective, outlining the personal leadership strengths and weaknesses. The fourth part of the project will review the results of the impact analysis focused on Bechtel Corporation’s recent efforts to attract young graduates from different parts of the world into the company. The fifth section of the project will aim to review Bechtel’s current relationship with the stakeholders and provide recommendations to fit into the company’s stakeholder management plan. The sixth part will review communication challenges and opportunities at Bechtel to develop a communications plan. Finally, the seventh part of the project will focus on the negotiations strategy and plan. The conclusion section will summarize the findings and recommendations offered in the project, thus bringing it to closure. Organizational Structure Tran and TIan (2013) offer an extensive analysis of the concept of organizational structure in modern-day enterprises. The researchers note that, although there are many definitions of organizational structure offered in research, the term is normally used to define the established patterns of relationships between the different parts of the company (Tran & Tian, 2013). For instance, organizational structure can represent the hierarchy of authority within the organization or indicate the connection between various departments. Organizational structure is affected by a variety of factors, both external and internal. For example, severe competition might lead companies to centralize the decision-making authority, which would result in a taller organizational structure (Tran & Tian, 2013). Internal factors, such as the scope of products or services offered to customers, might also influence organizational structure. In a large international corporation such as Bech
A comedy is a play, script or a live performance meant to entertain the audience and make people laugh. Comedy comprises of jokes and satirical lines. Subversive comedy and social comedy are among the broader categories of drama. Subversive comedy reveals the different fissures under the smooth surface of official ideology in society and the play ends in a ritual celebration such as a marriage. On the other hand, social comedy addresses threats against hegemonic cultures by disciplining upstarts and the commonwealth man in society. Careful analysis of William Wycherley’s play “The Country Wife”, as an example of a subversive comedy, and Aphra Behn’s play “The Rover”, as an example of a social comedy, reveals a clear distinction between the two categories. Subversive comedy defines the cracks on the unscathed surface of the official ideology. These cracks exist in the Restoration comedy “The Country Wife” through the oppression of the Puritans Commonwealth during their reign from 1642 to 1660. The play displays how the present government oppresses its citizens to the right of public expression and mocks the societal view of marriage and sexuality in London. The cynical view of the shift that occurred in the English attitude towards marriage in the middle of 1670’s has portrayed in Harry Horner’s explanation of how he plans to have sexual escapades with London’s upper class women and how they still keep their honor in society as moral beings (Norman 40). These sexual escapades are carefully planned by Horner’s lie of being a eunuch after recovering from a venereal disease that rendered him impotent. It aims at fooling the husbands and fiancée of the women who get involved with Horner to allow them do so without raising eyebrows. Major themes, such as hypocrisy, are addressed through the wants of men and women to appear as being more virtuous than they actually are. The importance placed on money in the society given rise to capitalism and absurdity that drives humans to yearn for sex without love is also tackled. Norman’s comment reveals the different fissures in society that are hidden under the smoothness of official ideology (Norman 52). Social comedy in contrast to the latter reveals the rebellion against the ruling élite and main virtues in the society. It addresses threats against hegemonic culture by disciplining upstarts. In the play “The Rover”, the characters revolt against vulnerability of women towards sexual abus
Pain management is one of the most important areas, especially when it comes to patients with chronic conditions. Virtual and augmented reality (VAR) can help nursing professionals in addressing various issues associated with the provision of care to patients who are in pain (Ferguson, Davidson, Scott, Jackson, & Hickman, 2015). The use of VAR in the clinical setting is still under-researched, but many scholars report positive outcomes of this kind of technology utilization. At the same time, Garrett et al. (2014) note that there is moderate evidence for the effectiveness of VAR programs aimed at reducing pain. The use of VAR can also have limited positive effects on older patients’ pain management due to this population’s attitude towards technology. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a VAR-based intervention aimed at reducing pain when treating older patients with chronic conditions. A mixed method design will be utilized as it is essential to identify specific health outcomes as well as older adults’ attitudes towards the technology-based intervention. Jeffs et al. (2014) explored the effects of VAR on adolescents with acute pain, but the modified framework of their study can be utilized for the present research. The participants will be divided into three groups. One group will receive care with standard pain management techniques; the second group will watch an age-appropriate movie. The third group will have VAR-based experience. Participants will complete pre-and post-intervention pain-assessment questionnaires. Furthermore, the experiment group will also share their views on the intervention by completing short questionnaires. These participants will also take part in a focus group discussion that will aim at eliciting their perspectives on the intervention and their experiences.
The Works by Lu Huan Lu Huan is the prominent Chinese artist, poet, and sculptor. He is famous for the miniature carvings of insects and amphibians which are made with paying much attention to each detail, and the examples are taken from life. However, in spite of the artist’s talent and recognition in China, Lu Huan’s fame is not so wide in the USA, and the number of his works remains to be unseen. The artist’s artworks can impress the audience with the talented imitation of the real insects and amphibians. The replicas are made of a specific stone in order to accentuate the beauty of the miniatures and their resemblance to the insects and amphibians as real living creatures (“Lu Huan”). Thus, Lu Huan’s artworks are inimitable in their masterly forms and details. Nevertheless, the uniqueness of the artist’s works is in combination of the elements of poetry and sculpture. It is interesting to note that Lu Huan’s miniatures are ornamented with lines of the poems written by the artist himself according to the traditional Chinese format (“Lu Huan”). These texts reflect the deep philosophical meaning of each figure of an exotic incest or amphibian made by Lu Huan. It is possible to speak about Lu Huan not only as a talented artist and poet but also as a philosopher because his poems which are inscribed in the stone reflect his vision of life. Furthermore, Lu Huan’s miniatures are also philosophical in their meaning and reflect the aspects of the human existence as it is in his group of miniatures which present the stages of the human life. Thus, the artist’s philosophical vision is represented in his stone miniatures where each detail has the special meaning. The Works by Wayne Thiebaud Wayne Thiebaud is the famous American commercial artist. It is a surprising fact that the artist started his career in the 1930s, and he is still popular, and his works are recognizable in the sphere of the commercial art. During a long period of time, Thiebaud worked as the representative of the Pop Art movement. Nevertheless, the artist’s approach to painting his works is not commercial, and Thiebaud pays much attention to
