Today, it is important for non-profit organizations to determine their goals and strategy. Strategic planning enables a business to identify its processes as well as to make them successful. As a health care administrator, I will consider the strategic plan and the approach used in creating the operating budget. Identifying its mission and priorities will enable it to maintain a successful operation of the organization. To become successful, the organization will need to develop a strategic plan. The plan includes the vision statement, purpose statement, strategic goals, and financial statements for the agency. The vision statement will be “Our vision is to provide people with the best medical services for free.” The purpose statement will be “To enable people of all social layers to maintain their health.” The strategic goals will include the following:   * To increase the number of clients.   * To restructure the organization.   * To hire the best medical workers.   * Increase the number and quality of medicines.   * To improve the image of the center. Then, the financial statements will be:   * Sales: $4,200,000.   * Cost of goods sold: $2,820,000.   * Interest: $62,000.   * Depreciation: $35,000.   * Taxes: $130,000. After creating the plan, the organization should consider how to make the points work. At this stage, it is important to understand how the plan is ready for execution and whether it can be implemented in real life. The center managers should make telephone calls and address the necessary organizations to communicate with potential partners. The connections will enable the directors to find the channels for purchasing medicines and medical equipment. The next stage in creating the strategy is organizing operations so that all the processes can be conducted (Bryson, Edwards, & Van Slyke, 2018). It is important to employ workers and establish connections between them and departments. The employees should be provided with training and constant assistance for the first time. It may also be helpful to implement a probation period for all the newly-found workers. The management should consider the possible issues or accidents related to the execution of the plan. The next step would be to buy the necessary materials and equipment for the organization (Bryson, 2018). All the costs and revenues connected are to be calculated, and the operating budget is to be provided. After purchasing the materials needed, the strategic plan is ready for execution. The center should establish an exact date of the beginning of the operation and make it known to the public. When all the processes are completely thought over, the agency should start working. In constructing its operating budget, the agency will use the activity-based costing process (ABC). It is referred to as “a costing method that assigns costs to the related pr
Modern poetry broke the barrier of poetry and prose and transformed into a new form of narration that is textually interdependent. The poem, “This is Just to Say” by William Carlos Williams is a short, autobiographical, 12-lined poem, that seeks forgiveness from the poet’s wife, for an insignificant offence of eating the plums that she might have saved for the breakfast. The offence is not of significance for an analysis as this being a modern poem, shows how poetry can be written about anything and everything. The poem clearly demonstrates how a poem can be poetic in tis simplistic theme and way. The poem stands out in its brevity and summons a plethora of interpretations. Some believe that the poem is a biographical confession to Williams’s wife while other interpretations more strenuously focuses on the part the poem plays in associating with Modernism, Imagism, or with the idea of poem that Williams has associated with in his published essays (Bogel 103). Some other interpretations of the poem have concerned itself with the apologetic or forgiveness seeking language of the poem and interpret the moral and linguistic pattern of the act presented in the poem (Bogel 103). Some other critics like Charles Altieri have used this poem to dissecting the literary text to tease out meaning of words like “Just” to literarily contextualize the poem (Bogel 104). So, how can we interpret the poem, given such diverse interpretation provided by critics? Is it simply an autobiographical poem seeking forgiveness or does it hold some greater meaning within the poem’s brevity and simplicity? Alternatively, is it an exposition of the nature or state of marriage? I will argue in this essay that Williams in the poem “This is Just to Say”, tries to invoke an argumentative communication between the husband and wife. I believe Williams’s poem is filled with sensual marital emotions that has often been belittled by other interpreters. Some critics believe that the poem is an inquiry into the nature of forgiveness, but the most apparent meaning that becomes apparent after reading the poem is the intensity of the relationship that is demonstrated through the words. The poem, I believe, demonstrates the relationship between couples, through the description of the actual eating of the plum. This act demonstrates the nature and state of the domestic relation. The relationship between the man and the woman seem to be strong and long-standing as the woman seemingly accepts this short, almost half-hearted apology of the man. I believe the apology is half hearted as the speaker simply states what he has done and how he felt eating the plum, but makes not further promise of not doing it again nor does he give any reason why he has actually eaten the plums. Instead, he simply writes a note of apology and is almost sure that his partner will understand him and excuse his action. Thus, in its brevity and a

Article Critique: Regression and Correlation Research Question The research question in this article highlights the relationship between job satisfaction and good customer orientation. The research question derives answers from the purpose of the research, which is seeking to clarify the importance of maintaining customers in relation to attaining a competitive advantage. To maintain customers, the employees in direct contact with the customers must have good relationships with their employers (Bauer, 2000). Hence, the research question creates a need for determining the relationship between job satisfaction and good customer relations. Methods and Study Design The researcher used the 24-item SOCO instrument as a scale for measuring the customer orientation, which was the key dependent variable for the research. 24-item SOCO instrument is normally a self-assessment scale suitable for evaluating the desirability of a salesperson about helping a customer in meeting the ends and offering satisfactory services or products to the clients. Other uses include giving an adequate description of the services or products to the clients, and finally determining whether the salesperson offers deceptive or manipulative information to clients. The instrument has been applied in various business settings from both the sellers and the buyers’ viewpoint, and hence proven as an effective tool of measuring and evaluating the satisfaction of transaction parties in any business. Job satisfaction is the key independent research variable from which the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) scale was used as the research instrument for this question. Various researchers have verified this scale and according to Wicker (2011), the scale uses six indexes suitable for measuring the employees’ job satisfaction. Those indexes include “work satisfaction, supervision mechanisms being used, and chances for promotions, co-worker relations, payment satisfactions, and general job satisfaction” (Wicker, 2011, p.82). However, the above two-scale instruments that were used for measuring the data variables were used in the form of questionnaires where both the employees and customers were required to fill in their answers. JDI sca
O Rubor Sanguinis/Favius Distillans (Sequentia) When thinking of the time slot on which two extremes meet to produce the most fascinating art, the Middle Ages and Renaissance come to mind first. While the music that was inspired by the ideas of the Middle Ages was “prim and proper,” almost stiff, the music of the Renaissance blew one’s spirit away with its grandeur (Wright 48); yet both cross at certain point, making it obvious that one followed another, which makes it worth considering some of the Renaissance and Middle Ages music closer. The first musical piece to start with, O Rubor Sanguinis by Hildegard von Bingen, is the exact representation of the time when the church had absolute power over people – with the lyrics in Latin, the bass line ostinato that reminds of the martyrdom, and the crystal-clear voice that rings of heavenly bliss. Messe de Nostre Dame Another peculiar piece of music that is worth considering closer as a specimen of the Middle Ages and Renaissance art is Guillaume de Machaut’s Messe de Nostre Dame . Solemn and slow, it seems a much more serious work that offers the audience a much darker travel into the depth of the spiritual world, which is rather characteristic of France of the Middle Ages. It is much longer than the previously discussed work; containing five parts, i.e., Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Angus Dei, it somewhat reminds of a story, with a beginning, an outset, a denouement, a climax and an end. Like O Rubor Sanguinis, Messe de Nostre Dame is also performed in Latin, which truly is a mark of its time and morals. Ave Maria The third musical piece, Ave Maria by Prez, might seem very similar to the Messe de Nostre Dame , mostly due to the fact that the song is performed in soprano and countertenor. The high-pitched voices of the singers make it sound like a church choir; however, there are certain differences between the works mentioned above and the given artwork. To start with, Ave Maria is often referred to as a motet. The above-ment
Communism was a common ideology and phenomenon in Eastern Europe of the 20 th century. Romania was no exception, and the period from the 1960s to the 1980s is known as an epoch of the Ceausescu dictatorship. The documentary “The Lost World of Communism” calls this period as “socialism in one family.” It reveals the dreadful truth about the power of the Ceausescu family and the dark side of the communist regime. Before watching the documentary I imagined communism as an ideology which supposes that people share everything, and where the government provides for its people. Although I realized that history had proved the inadequacy of communist theories, I did not expect to see such a terrifying picture of Romania. If I imagine myself in this country of the 1980s, I would be scared of the generally poor level of life, the massive cult of Nicolae Ceausescu, and insane bans. The first issue that would strike me is scarce food and housing, that I saw in the documentary. Romania had enough land and farmers to provide its citizens with nutrition. However, instead of putting it to good use, the government exported most of the food to pay its external debts. It led to famine, people starved to death. Also, many peasants were forced to move to towns, where houses were unfit for human use, and it made Romanians struggle daily to survive in cold apartment blocks. This national disaster clearly illustrates the inefficiency and cruelty of Ceausescu’s internal politics. Despite the fact that Romania was suffering, as mentioned above, Nikolae Ceausescu was represented as a national hero and worshipped throughout the country. Video-fragments of public displays and demonstrations, where everyone is supporting the cult of their leader, remind me of a modern North Korea. I was impressed by the incredible power Ceausescu had over people, where the influence of his wife cannot be underestimated. People did not realize or pretended to ignore the destructive role of Elena Ceausescu. As a result, the impact of a woman who supervised even her children became nationwide. The most knocking part for me was the number of atrocious and inexplicable bans Romania had. For instance, the ban on abortion and contraception was introduced in order to increase the Romanian population without any consent from women. A regular check of pregnancies seems to violate all possible human rights and considers women as incubators if regarded in a modern context. Moreover, those who disagreed with the government were often sent to psychiatric clinics as potential “troublemakers.” Nobody cared about the opinion of individuals, and it led to numerous self-made abortions and destroyed lives. Another negative side of communism was in the protectionist practices in media and culture, which resulte
For many, the American healthcare system seems a perfect example of effectiveness and innovation as the latest technology is employed, and high-profile professionals are involved. However, the system is far from being cost-effective or even just effective. According to the documentary by Heineman and Froemke (2012), approximately 75% of the costs are allocated to treat illnesses that can be prevented. One of the healthcare practitioners featured in the documentary stresses that people’s lifestyles tend to be the major causes of the disorders. Most importantly, once a person is cured, it is rather common that this individual continues living an ordinary life that resulted in considerable health issues. Therefore, new health problems often occur, and more resources are needed. Due to the high costs of healthcare services, many people do not have access to the required care, which leads to the development of more severe forms of disorders and higher costs for the system. American health care has been referred to as sick care. However, a solution can be found if people start focusing on health rather than disease. Antonovsky’s salutogenic model can be one of the keys to solving the issue (Fries, 2020). The central principles of this model include recognizing health as a complex adaptive system, focusing on health rather than the disease, being person-centered, and seeing disease as unavoidable and a valuable opportunity for adaptation and wellness. The process of the shift from sick care to health care will require time and resources. It will be necessary to educate people and explain to them the benefits and peculiarities of the new approach. However, the outcomes will inevitably be positive and will lead to major transformations in society. Wellness and prevention will finally become true priorities that will make millions healthier and happier.
How do you deal with difficult co-workers or teammates? Difficult co-workers and teammates can drain one’s energy or the energy of an entire team or department concerned. I feel that there are different ways to deal with the various situations brought about by difficult co-workers or teammates. Firstly, I always endeavor not to pass judgment on my co-workers/teammates. I have realized that a person may be ‘difficult’ or stubborn often because the matter at hand is important for them than the rest of the team may be realizing. Therefore, my initial reaction is to try to view the problem at hand from the point of view of the difficult teammate. Furthermore, I always make sure that I take my time to understand the issues raised by this difficult colleague. A quick reaction delivered in anger will only serve to worsen an already bad situation. Thus taking time to respond is vital in cooling things down. Additionally, when dealing with difficult colleagues, I consistently treat each new confrontation as unique. Thus I avoid any preconceived notions arising from previous arguments or confrontations we may have had from clouding current and future engagements with the involved colleagues. In conclusion, I believe that all workers in an organization have professionally earned the positions and roles they play. Thus all confrontations can be sorted out professionally and in ways that retain the dignity of the offending co-worker. What steps did you take to reach a goal that is important for you? A few years ago, I was in need of a job, and the only post available was for a tour guide, and the position required that the person be fluent in Spanish. Throughout my life, I have always desired to learn an additional language, and my inability to qualify for that job due to a prerequisite I had always felt I needed to gain hit me. Since the positions for tour guiding would always be available in the summer, I resolved that by the following year, I would be ready and purposed to learn Spanish. Consequently, I decided to use the little money I had, not in applying for another job, but in starting classes on basic Spanish – to me, this was a long-term investment that I felt I needed to make. I started the classes soon after, dedicating my days and nights to reading and understanding Spanish; I borrowed money from friends and family to buy Spanish language books and novels. One of my short term targets was to read a Spanish storybook every week, and my daily targets were to converse exclusively in Spanish with my Spanish class colleagues – for practice. Through hard work, consistency, and practice, by the following year’s summer, not only was I able to get the job but also I always felt I had attained a bigger goal – a lifelong habit of pushing my limits and trying out for new things.
