Internment is the act of confining people in isolated places on the basis of their ethnic origin, political ideology, or enemy aliens’ status. It has been taking place in society since ancient times when certain populations were resettled to gain control over the territory. With time the meaning of the concept slightly changed, though ‘resettlement’ is still associated with it. In the 20th century, internment was carried out in Canada during wartime; it took place in the course of World War I and World War II. The main reasons for it were the maintenance of national security, which demanded separating people of a certain ethnicity, as well as political beliefs, from the rest of the society. This process had certain advantages from the political perspective for it allowed the government to keep the countries safe. Taking this into account, the internment can be totally justified because any government “has the strictest duty to act in the most rigorous manner required by circumstances to protect the order and security of the whole nation which is asked to give copiously of its money and blood”. [1]However, internment was inhumane with respect to the internees most of who suffered undeservedly only because of their ethnic origin or political ideologies which they followed. State internment can not be regarded as a process beneficial for society for it has led to ethnic discrimination, resulted in sending innocent people to the internment camps, destroyed a number of families, and affected health and welfare of interned women and men who have been kept in poor conditions when interned. To begin with, the internment affected a number of ethnic communities with their interests being largely neglected, which with time led to ethnic discrimination. The Canadian internment of civilians which took place during World War II had purely political goals for its main focus was the wartime bureaucracies. Back then, “the social and economic repercussions affected the communities’ relationship with the host society and their very sense of identity as ‘ethnic communities’”.[2] Italian Canadians were the target of internment in the 1950s-Canada. They stopped being perceived as a part of the society, which led to worsening of relations between them and the host society. Though the Italian Canadians managed to avoid ardent prosecution which the Japanese Canadians have experienced, they still were discriminated against their ethnicity and interned, in particular those who have been pro-Fascist (a number of people, however, were sent to internment camps by false accusation). Italian fascists were especially persecuted since the Canadian government was convinced that they could “adapt to Canada only by abandoning their Italian and Catholic iden
Palmdale Road Cut The San Andreas Fault is one of the most remarkable faults in California which can be observed while going down the road in Palmdale, California. Thus, the Palmdale road cut demonstrates the significant San Andreas Fault and a range of minor faults in this region. That is why these remarkable territories where different faults can be found are known as the San Andreas Fault zone. Palmdale road cut represents not only the faults that are typical for the zone but also different types of the folded rocks. While discussing the San Andreas Fault, it is important to note that it is a strike-slip fault, which can also be characterized as the horizontal right lateral fault which was formed because of the active movement of two blocks. These two fault blocks moved past each other according to the principle of the strike-slip fault. The fault appeared as a result of the plates’ movement past each other at the territory where there is the boundary of the Pacific and North American plates. If the San Andreas Fault is the major fault observed while exploring the Palmdale road cut, minor faults are not easily observed because they are reshaped as a result of the erosional processes. These territories are the reg
Attention gather America has established itself as a model nation in the 20 th and 21 st century. Great achievements seen today on the global stage have been credited to the country and as such making it an undisputed leader. The American culture is one that prides itself in placing a high value on quality with the country creating a global image that projects it as a one where fake products rarely see the light of day (Gilpin 33). Introduction to the topic The U.S. has been the greatest advocate of Capitalism from the Cold War period when wrong social, economic ideologies were being bandied around by communist states. It is imperative to realize that the burden to shape up the world is not easy and that it requires stable leadership. Democratic values together with sound economic schools of thought are the best prescription that the world needs for the long term purpose. These vital facets can be found within the stable American governance system. Relevance statement The American people are always keen on the quality of the products they buy. They also tend to value reputation and will promptly reject the products of a company that becomes associated with unethical practices. Such tendencies on part of the Americans explains the reason for exploring the the need to purchase American goods. Thesis statement Quality and timely innovation characterize the American culture and its products, offering a strong reason for one to consider American goods over most of the rest. Credibility statement The sources used in this speech are from credible sources that include peer reviewed journals, books and r
Thesis statement/introduction Born in the era of French revolution and the enlightenment period, William Blake uses his artistic skills to construct the poem the tiger among other compositions. Coupled with misery and disunity in the region, he symbolically uses the tiger to condemn the evil practices in the society. Therefore, by analyzing his poem the major theme that is evident is religion or Christianity. Although Christianity advocates for unity and harmony among other elements, the aspects of evilness and goodness co-exist within the same religion. Thus, by symbolically applying the fierce nature of the tiger, Blake not only elaborates on the theme of Christianity but also couples his artistic nature with literary skills to explore a problem that was common during his contemporary time. Authentically, the supremacy of Christianity lies within God. Furthermore, biblical records assert that God is the creator of all living and non-living things. Ironically, according to Blake how dare God create a tiger, which is a dangerous animal? For instance, in the third line of the first stanza he, laments, “What immortal hand or eye/ could frame thy fearful symmetry?” (Blake) Therefore, although God or Christians advocate for innocence, the presence of tiger amongst them deletes their teachings. Thus, Blake assertions are to mock Christianity. Moreover, the poet continue to mock Christianity and more so God’s creation through his literal setting, which is at night. Most people associate darkness with evil, hell or Satan but Blake chooses to describe the tiger in this situation. For example, in the first line of the first stanza he writes, “Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright/ In the forests of the night” (Blake), which proves his doubts about Christianity. In addition, the setting of the poem (darkness) symbolizes the social injustices and oppressive nature of the people who promote Christianity in the region. Despite of Christianity being the common religion, the region is full of evil practices, which he compares them to the ferocious
Some Fundamentals of Amiri Baraka’s Biography While discussing Amiri Baraka’s famous play The Dutchman , I would like to say a few words about the author. So, first of all, there is a need to point out that Baraka is considered to be a well-known writer, journalists, and essayist of the famous Black Arts movement. He was born in the early thirties. In the early fifties, Amiri got his degree at Howard University. The writer is also known as a music critic. In the early sixties, Baraka was extremely interested in political and aesthetic issues. In other words, during that period, the author’s beliefs were radically changed. Generally, one is to keep in mind that Baraka is recognized to be one of the most important representatives of the black community, and the theme of racism in The Dutchman has, therefore, some historical context. The author founded the Black Arts Repertory Theatre to fight against American racism. The author was a supporter of black cultural nationalism. It should be pointed out that Amiri Baraka was interested not only in racial problems, but he also tried to resolve certain economic contradictions of blacks. The author’s ideas about the ideology were expressed in his books. Thus, Baraka wanted people to fight against the capitalist regime. In other words, the author’s primary purpose was to fight against chauvinism. The representative of black cultural nationalism said that his thoughts and ideas concerning political philosophy were not changed, but they developed. Shana Riddick says that according to Woodard, “through Black cultural nationalism African Americans were able to develop a collective consciousness” (p. 1). Critical Analysis of the Themes in the Play The Dutchman When speaking about Baraka’s most famous works, one is to keep in mind that his ground-breaking play The Dutchman requires special attention. Generally, the underlying theme of the work is considered to be racial injustice. In the play, the author discloses the relations between a white woman and a black man. “The Dutch sailed the first slave-bearing vessel to the American colonies. The legend of The Flying Dutchman is one of a ship cursed to sail the seas eternally without ever finding safe harbor” (“Amiri Baraka and The Dutchman ” par. 7). In my opinion, another important theme of the play seems to be the nonrecog

Introduction Social change is the modification of social order in the community. The social changes in society are related to social behaviors and relations. Social changes can develop from two diverse sources. Such factors like weather and climate affect social change (Homan, 2016). Another factor of social change includes systematic factors such as availability of resources, the flexibility of the government, and the social organization of the society. Generally, unique factors and systematic factors greatly impact social change. There are many issues in society that affect the way we live in society. Social change aims at correcting the wrongs in society to make society a better place to live in (Homan, 2016). Leadership Leadership entails offering guidance so that changes can be effected. Leadership is the activity of leading a group of society in effecting changes by establishing clear visions (Sudbrack & Trombley, 2007). Leaders have to share the vision with those responsible for sharing with them the knowledge and information to ensure that the vision is achieved. There are many conflicting issues in society, and it is important to balance and coordinate the interests of the stakeholders to ensure that changes are implemented as required. Leadership is important in times of crisis as it is through leadership that difficult situations are solved (Sudbrack & Trombley, 2007). Leadership is not taught though it can be enhanced by mentoring or coaching. Advocacy entails a process that is influenced politically by groups or individuals with the aim of altering decisions in the social, economical, and political systems. Advocacy may include the activities undertaken by an organization
Introduction People know the kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a strict and traditional state. While this ideology may be true, Saudi Arabia is also a rich country with a diverse cultural heritage that suffices through economic, political, and social processes. Therefore, while many people appreciate that Saudi Arabia has a wealthy and robust financial system, some people find that the country’s strict laws and customs are great deterrents for expatriates to work in the country (Loe, 2012). These sentiments have however not dampened the spirits of several expatriates who live and work in the kingdom. While some sections of the economy may not suffer from insufficient staffing (from local and international staff), other sectors of the economy still suffer from significant under-staffing. One such sector is the educational sector. More specifically, teaching English as a foreign language in Saudi Arabia suffers from significant under-staffing (Loe, 2012). Adequate staffing is an important facilitator of any learning objective. Its importance in foreign language learning is especially critical in Saudi Arabia because English is not the first language for most students in the kingdom. Therefore, unlike a situation where students may learn a language through their surroundings, students in Saudi Arabia learn foreign languages through the input of their teachers. Having qualified teachers therefore manifest as an important component for having the best outcomes in foreign language learning within the kingdom. However, the challenge in teacher recruitment hinders the realization of (EFL) learning in Saudi Arabia. This paper appreciates this problem by proposing a research paper to focus on Al-Andalus School, in Jeddah, as a case study of the challenge that many Saudi schools experience when recruiting new teachers. Problem Statement Saudi Arabia has suffered significant shortages of English teaching staff (Loe, 2012). This shortage manifests in many of Saudi’s private and public schools that teach English as a foreign language. Al-Andalus School, in Jeddah, is one such school that has experienced significant staffing challenges. The school mainly teaches three language curriculums – Saudi Curriculum, Egyptian curriculum, and the English curriculum. The school does not experience many problems in finding teachers to teach the Saudi and Egyptian curriculums. In fact, there are enough Egyptian teachers in the school because the institution has had proud Egyptian teachers who do not mind taking more classes and students to advance the Egyptian learning agenda. However, there has been a lot of difficulty experienced in recruiting English teachers to the school. Traditionally, the main English teachers in Saudi Arabia come from America, India, South Africa, and England. Some of these teachers have no experience in teaching the American curriculum, but their mastery of the English language is their main strength. Officials at Al-Andalus School, in Jeddah, have tried to attend career welfares programs in the US to recruit many English teac
Human Resource Management (HRM) is universal when it comes to policies, strategies and processes. One of the central challenges faced by human resource is developing and managing international/global setting particularly multinational enterprises (MNEs). Human Resource Management is both a business practice and academic theory that mainly address practice and theoretical techniques of workforce management. The theoretical aspect of human resource is a universal process while practice is not a universal process (Cole 2004, p. 110). This paper provides an understanding of the relevant theories, best practices and origins involved in managing people in the workplace by establishing an understanding of the major elements of HRM which includes culture, structure and team working. Structure This part emphasizes on the practices that reflects how Human Resource Management is organized in a firm. The organization structure not only consist of its location or designations but also departments and employee organization and group change such as termination, resignation, promotion and transfer which are practices conducted by HRM. Other practices include employee empowerment and management (Oded 1997, p. 140). In every organization, it is the workforce that collectively and individually contributes to the achievements of the set goals and objectives. HRM is majorly concerned with the regulation and nature of employment in the workplace and the society at large; they are the change agents in every organization. Human resource management model in every workplace emphasize on managing and promoting change, treatment of workers as individuals not a collection and encourage the workers to consider the management as their partners
Introduction The urgency to improve health care quality and productivity has been necessitated by the constantly rising cost and demand of health care services globally. According to McDougall (1995) “This sense of urgency has led to the development of new healthcare delivery models, broad organizational restructuring”. This desire for restructuring has been felt on the urgent need to ensure that the sharing of information on patient medical history is electronically managed through modern health information systems. To effectively manage the health care information system and stay in tandem with the increase in demand and cost of health care services, the committee members must achieve an above-average knowledge in their levels in health care information systems. Fundamentals of database characteristics and structure The modern health information system is characterized by provider identifiers, site-of-care identifiers, and product labeling identifiers (American Dental Association, 1995). In addition to the above, features of communications/message format standards and content and structure standards of the applicable codes are critical for the accurate and successful analysis and retrieval of information. Types of medical data and information record relevant to this project In this project, Healthcare Provider Information – 275 – patient’s information that is widely applicable in electronically requiting patient information and data in regards to tests, procedures, surgeries, and allergies will form the basis of analysis and discussion. Importance of uniform terminology, coding, and standardization of the data The importance of the wide application of uniform terminology, coding, and standardization of the data in the health care industry is not particularly hard to discern. This is because uniformity in terminology ensures that there is a general agreement in the methods, procedures, and results of practices in the provision of health care services (Chute, 1991), coding enables easy, fast, and efficient electronic transfer of patient data from one point to another while standardization of data ensures the accuracy of medical data. Various information standards and organizations that may be applicable There exist lists of information standards and organizations that may be applicable and required for this project. These include The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) that according to Terrell, Dutton, Porter, and Cowles (1991) “has created a widely used provider identifier known as the Universal Physician Identifier Number (UPIN)”. In addition to that, relevant organizations in information standards include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) P1157 Medical Data Interchange Standard (MEDIX, Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMB), American Medical Association (AMA), and International Standards Organization (ISO) (American National Standards Institute’s Health Care Informatics Standards Planning P
