Dixon, N. J. (2008). Performance-Enhancing Drugs, Paternalism, Meritocracy, and Harm to Sport. Journal of Social Philosophy . This article focuses the publicity of performance-enhancing drugs. Writer’s point of view maintains that this publicity will stop promoting sportsman’s skill; rather every other rich man affording the expensive drugs could enter the industry freely. The value of skilled man will deteriorate. Youngsters will lose their efforts for improving their playing skills and they will get engaged in choosing the drug appropriate to them for playing their sports. Hence downfall of sports in world would be the resultant and financial losses would occur too. Fans would lose interest in sportsmen’s strength and a lot of revenue would be lost and super stars will not rise. For sports it’s the strategy, and skill of the player that matters, not the artificial support helping them out CITATION Dix08 l 1033 (Dixon, 2008). Humphry, J. (2003).

There are two types of mortgage loans: adjustable-rate mortgage and fixed-rate mortgage (Green, 2013). The interest rate of a fixed-rate mortgage remains unchanged for the whole term of a loan; therefore, it is not influenced by fluctuations in the market. An adjustable-rate mortgage, on the other hand, is associated with the change of the interest rate over time. Taking into consideration the fact that a fixed-rate mortgage does not transfer risk from a lender to a borrower, it is more expensive. In the countries like the United States, fixed-rate mortgages have existed for a long time. However, in Hong Kong the development of a fixed-rate market has started only after the establishment of the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (HKMC) in 1997 (Ho, 2001). HKMC facilitated the backing of fixed-rate mortgages by fixed-rate debts. Therefore, it could be argued that existence of a fixed-rate debt market was one of the preconditions for the creation of a fixed-rate market (Ho, 2001). A government agency called Fannie Mae started purchasing mortgages from commercial banks in the 1930s (Ho, 2001). Immediately after the purchase, the agency pooled all mortgages and issued debt-based securities which were later sold to new security holders. The receivables of the securities were “the interest and repayment of principal on the loans” (Ho, 2001, p. 2). The establishment of the government agency helped to transform asset-backed securities (ABS) market into the one that covered not only residential mortgages but all types of assets. Unlike the United States, Hong Kong started securitization only in the late 1980s (Ho, 2001). Mortgages were secured by private agencies such as Manhattan Card Company, Bank of America, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank (Ho, 2001). Due to the fact that separate entities could not create homogeneous issues, the MBS market in Hong Kong could not attract a sufficient number of investors. Active government participation in the development of mortgage capital market started in 1997 with the establishment of HKMC (Ho, 2001). It allowed developing secondary mortgage market as well as introduce a new type of loan—the Fixed Adjustable Mortgage (FARM) (Ho, 2001). The development of the MBS market in Asian countries was significantly hindered by the lack of foreign and local investors. Mortgage-backed securitization in the Philippines was slowed down because of the low level of investor confidence. Moreover, the country had numerous
Leda and the Swan have been believed to be one of the most technically brilliant poems ever written in English and world literature. The original story of Leda is derived from Greek mythology. Leda was the wife of the Spartan king Tyndareus. She did not waver to alter her royal husband for a god, even though he came to her as a swan. Four eggs that she had later gave birth to Castor, Polydeukes, Clytemnestra, and the famous Helen of the Trojan war. William Butler Yeats’s venturesome sonnet depicts the details of the rape of Leda by the god Zeus. Leda and the Swan are criticized to be passionate, sexually definite artwork. Features of rhythmic power, plain enunciation, and allusions to mystical relationships of people and divine creatures can be observed in this poem. Though there exists an opinion that this poem can be considered as a key step towards future tragic events: the result of Leda’s assault was the birth of Helen of Troy. Because of her, the following destruction of Greek civilization came and a new era began. The poem has also been suggested to pay attention to the violence that took place in Yeats’s homeland during the Irish Civil War of 1922–1923. Considering the technical part of the poem we can say that Yeats’s variant of the traditional fourteen lines sonnet form is made in a more radical, modernist style. A set of unforgettable, weird images of instant physical contact are made using abstract depictions in terse language. At the same time, it offers a distant view of that event over time. Critics have seen this poem as an outstanding example of how thoughts central to the poet’s life can be expressed in his poetry. Though the main theme of the poem is derived from the Greek mythology and the plot is clear enough, critics have always been searching for a symbolic and psychological explanation of the poem’s images. As Keesey fairly notices, “psychology helps us to talk about what the novelist knows, but fiction helps us to know what the psychologist is talking about” (222). The main impulse of realistic fiction is mimetic. Any artwork of psychological realism appeals for detailed psychological analysis. Psychological approaches allow analyzing important characters of the fiction and to examine the consciousness of the author and his moral message to the reader. The swan in this poem is not
The lliad , a masterpiece written by Homers, tells the story of a ten-year war in the plains surrounding Troy (llium). The war, which was fought by an alliance of Greek kings and the people of troy, began with an attack on troy to avenge the insults done to the king of Sparta when his wife ran off with the then prince of troy. On the other hand, The Aeneid , written by Virgil, is a Latin epic poem, which tells of the story of Aeneas, the ancestor of the Romans. This article compares and contrasts two characters, Hera and Juno, of The IIiad and The Aeneid respectively in an attempt to demonstrate the change of Mediterranean culture. Hera was the Goddess of fertility and women and sister to Zeus, the Greek king of the Gods. She is described as being jealous of Zeus’ lovers. In most places, she is described as being vengeful (Fagles, 2006, p.45). She is also described as a hater of Trojans who always sides with the Greeks expressing uttermost hate and resentment for Paris. Her hate for Paris originates from his decision to name Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddesses in Greece leaving her out. He later married Helen who is described as the most beautiful woman in the world at his time (Fagles, 2006, p.47). In Virgil’s epic, The Aeneid , Juno, the goddess, resented the Trojan people. She is described as being “wrathful because she was not chosen to judge Paris and because the descendants of Aeolus would presumably destroy her favorite city of Carthage” (Fagles, & Knox, 1990, p.31). Her hatred for the Trojans was also increased by the fact that a Trojan known as Ganymede had replaced her daughter Hebe as the cupbearer of her husband Jupiter (Fagles, & Knox, 1990, p.31). She tries to bribe one of the Gods to prevent the Trojan fleet headed to Italy from reaching. She achieves this in a storm. The two women represent two ages of the Mediterranean culture with distinct differences and similarities. For the case of Hera, her husband Zeus supports the Trojans because his mortal son is a hero in Trojan while Hera hates the Trojans (Fagles, 2006, p.24). These gods find themselves therefore in two opposing sides in the Trojan War. They follow it faithfully at times interfering in the battlefield to support their sides. The war threatens to cause domestic wars in the family with Zeus cautious not to support the Trojans against the Greeks. Hera, on the other side, is secretly supporting the Greeks, and puts an idea in Achillleus’s mind to assemble the army in the war (Fagles, 2006, p.36). Athene however stops him from killing Agamemnon by holding his hair and advising him to abuse him verbally. The two goddesses demonstrate a common Mediterranean culture in the two eras in which they existed. The role of families, unions, honor, and duty are distinctly portrayed with family bonds being put to the test. The women take a stand in weighty matters that opposes that of their husbands due to different reasons. This demonstrates that the Mediterranean culture remained the same in these eras with only a change in the characters and situations involved. For Hera, she displays a jealous cha
Introduction The formation of the society and the pace of its development directly depend on people living in it and determining the norms of life. Constant progress has become one of the factors of the transition from a slave system to a civilized one, and today, the person has substantially more freedoms and opportunities than previous generations. Nevertheless, some historical vestiges remain relevant at present. In particular, such social problems are implied as racial inequality and social division into classes. Certainly, today, these manifestations of intolerance are less pronounced than before. However, such factors as race, social classes, and other similar determinants play an essential role from a cross-cultural perspective, and ignoring this order means the acceptance of any form of inequality. Types of Classes in the Modern Society The division according to social classes is explained by different criteria. Thus, one of the most common factors is the level of prosperity. According to Parker, poverty is what makes people separated, and this gap widens day by day (204). A large number of people today own multimillion-dollar states while some are unable to earn money for themselves and their families. This difference is the reason for the formation of social strata based on wealth and poverty. Another criterion that determines the division of society is race. Today, this issue is particularly acute and is regularly considered not only at the state but also international level. As Kulick and Machado-Borges claim, “money is associated with race” (225). It means that the division both in terms of income and race has much in common and can be considered in one cross-cultural context. According to Parks, poverty occurs everywhere, including highly developed countries and states with weak economies (208). A similar situation occurs with racial intolerance. Therefore, these types of class divisions are especially relevant today. The Formation of Caste Systems The formation of class systems can be explained in terms of the mentioned approaches. Although a certain relationship between race and social status is traced, a distinction can be made. Thus, for example, Kuper notes that “racial differences are of a more enduring nature than class differences, and there are very extensive social correlates of racial differences in many racially structured societies” (61). In other words, racial inequality is a more serious and significant factor in the manifestation of differences among people than, for instance, low social status. Therefore, issues related to discrimination about the origin and the color of skin cause a great public response and are regularly discussed at the international level. Severe Manifestation of Discontent and Aggression If it were not for the frank manifestations of aggression among the representatives of different classes and races, questions would hardly be of great relevance. Nevertheless, periodic resonant cases force society to participate in conflict resolution on interracial, financial, and other grounds. The policy of genocide, which
Companies are not required to provide health insurance for their workers. However, when a potential employee considers working for a particular company, healthcare insurance is a significant factor. While it may be beneficial for employers, offering healthcare packages to employees could prove problematic due to its high cost. Employer-based healthcare also helps in preventing unauthorized absence in the workplace. Companies that offer healthcare insurance to their workers must consider all the pros and cons of such benefits. As for its advantages, potential candidates will find career opportunities that include healthcare coverage to be more attractive. For example, a potential worker will even take a job with a lower salary offer if it includes health insurance, which can also benefit a company in the long run. A company that depends on labor efficiency will always witness the benefit of strong, healthy workers. Companies can also receive tax benefits by offering its employees a health package (Beentjes et al., 2017). In terms disadvantages, the constant increase in the cost of health insurance is also a factor to consider. Insurance premiums for workers are factored into the cost of labor which may fluctuate depending on the coverage purchased by the company as well as conditions in the market. There is also the issue of negligence and whether companies may be liable for any mistakes, increasing the probability of fines or lawsuits, and thereby increasing their financial burdens (Frost, Barrette, Kennedy, & Brennan, 2018). Small businesses suffer even more since the administrative cost for health package benefits are significantly disproportionate to their profits compared to major corporations Health insurance is effective for deterring workers from being absent for illness-related reasons. In such situations, employees are required to provide a medical certificate, and paid sick leave is only determined by the employer, which also helps to reduce absenteeism. However, if sick leave exceeds the allotted paid period, a worker must submit the required medical certificates that explain the reason. In cases when a company refuses to provide further sick leave, an employee has the right to sue an employer; thus, a company may face a fine or lawsuit (Edemekong & Haydel, 2019). Companies providing healthcare insurance must consider both legal and cost advantages and disadvantages before purchasing coverage to their employees.
I have chosen a specific kind of work that is not universal for most people. I decided to write about the teaching profession or skill as a kind of work. For most people tied to production, teaching in a job is additional employment assigned to the main one. The primary occupation is the personification of a person in the labor market. However, some people enjoy teaching and have a sincere interest in it. The opportunity to share knowledge and experience among such people is a genuine interest. The specifics of the teacher’s work include the transfer of basic knowledge about the profession and the obligatory support of the student in his first work experience. Psychological support and faith in a still inexperienced person are essential in such situations. This type of work is specific in that the teacher closely intertwines his or her immediate professional activity (drawing, dancing, shoe repair) with communicative and emotional aspects (Kosuri, 2018). Because of this, this type of work cannot be chosen by most people, as they find it too exhausting. The teaching profession has always been prestigious and sometimes even symbolically loaded, especially in the Eastern mentoring culture. The modern social context leaves this profession among the most respected. However, people cannot say that the younger generation has passion and dreams for this type of work. Despite this, the significance of this type of work for society is colossal, although in most cases, it is not visible to the human eye in everyday life. Examples of mentorship inspire people to take action, work hard, and stubbornly pursue goals. In addition to the spiritual role, teachers play an essential socio-economic role in every state. Education in a developed society is a strategic base for the future state. Education is a public good that any government must provide at a high level. Young trained specialists in any specialties are representatives of certain social strata within the state and representatives of the country within the framework of international cooperation. At the moment, technologization also penetrates the type of work of the teacher. It overhauls the system for obtaining a specialization for this kind of work. Now young people who want to try themselves in this area need a different qualification (Sociological Dictionary, 2017). The qualifications that their teachers once obtained are no longer considered sufficient in society; it makes some older teachers feel inept. Plato’s statement applies to this type of work since the chosen type fits well into precisely that state model, which is described as approximately ideal by the philosopher. Only a developed society and the state that supports it can afford a complete division of labor (Annas, 2017). Emile Durkheim made a similar statement, but he combined a clear division of labor with simultaneous cooperation. This statement refers to medieval factories, small enterprises with the divisio
This short story focuses on the theme of relationships between mothers and daughters, which also reflects the problem of parents and children on a larger scale. In her story, the author seems to reflect on her own experience. The mother of the girl prescribes her daughter certain rules and behaviors, expecting that she would strictly follow them. In turn, the girl feels constrained in these imposed behaviors, which limits her life. It should be stressed the mother gives both positive and negative advice, but the girl’s perspective and ideas are quite a few in the story, which can be interpreted as the overbearing of the mother in her daughter (Jayasree 83). On the one hand, the actions of the mother are guided by love, and she wants the best for her child. On the other hand, the mother is an old-fashioned and too strict woman, who leaves the main character without social interactions and personal opinion. Another important problem that is raised by this story is that the society promotes stereotyped thinking in children. Namely, the thoughts that are translated by the mother to her daughter represent female discrimination, and it creates the gap between the sexes. According to the mother, a woman should be limited by her house, while men are not restricted. The mother also uses the word “slut”, which shows that he treats her daughter derogatively. One can conclude that the mother does not teach her daughter how to live in the modern and how to become happy. It would be better, however, if she left some place for the girl to think independently so that she can make her own mistakes and learn from them.

Introduction This article examines strategic planning process of purchasing an existing coffee business in Miami. We have based the business concept on News Café, which demonstrates affordability, growth, and comfort at the Ocean Drive of Miami Beach. New Café is a 24-hour business with a great menu that consists of both national and international coffee and desserts. It has a great oceanfront view. However, the place experiences service lackluster during high tourists’ seasons. Business Concept Strategy Starbucks introduced coffee business to the US and coffee has become a common feature of Americans as millions of them consume coffee daily. These people are willing to spend money on quality coffee. Specialty coffee has become a growing coffee business in Miami as News Café shows (Monaghan and Huffaker, 1995). Market conditions such as recession and slow economic growths have not affected coffee consumption in Miami or the US. In fact, specialty coffee sales have increased. In addition, no coffee house closed due to recession unlike in other industries. News Café and other coffee outlets serve quality coffee in Miami. However, most of these coffee outlets look like ‘fast food restaurants’ because of their services. Now Miami coffee consumers have increased, and their preferences for coffee and other products have grown. As a result, many consumers need fresh coffee, varieties, and coffee with health benefits. This means that there is a niche in the coffee market of Miami. Coffee consumers want fresh, high-end, quality, and health coffee served in high volumes and in a warm and conducive atmosphere. A new coffee business in Miami can meet these needs and fill the niche in the market. The business should provide high quality coffee products in upscale locations of Miami. The location must also provide a mixed clientele base in order to ensure that the business has high-levels of activities throughout the session. Develop or Purchase Based on the performance of News Café, it is necessary to purchase an existing coffe
