Introduction A woman in despair is a weak woman because she is not able to react to different life issues adequately; a woman should be strong whatever may happen in her life because she can seem weak and allow people to think that she is weak. When a woman becomes weak in the real life, she has not to strength to overcome certain difficulties, moreover, she needs moral support and encouragement from outside because she cannot handle all the problems and put her thoughts and efforts to reach the goal. Main body The warning is a woman that thinks that all her problems are because of the color of her skin which is black; this is where the first theme appears. Discrimination can be referred to in this case because of the color of someone’s skin. Racial discrimination is one of the most burning issues of the modern global community. Regardless the globalization, people have not acquired the knowledge on differences between cultures and the importance of respecting each other and traditions established in different countries. The warning is described sitting on a box and criticizing her appearance. The box describes her discontentment, isolation, and unwillingness to change. A box of any sort is usually kept away, far away from any activity. Her finding the box paints a solitary picture and her troubled heart, no wonder she had no one to talk to and share her dilemma. The mirror depicts her true inert state, the reflection of the ‘thorn in her flesh’. Anyone watching her might think her insane talking to herself. Her small mirror reflects her narrow sightedness and discreteness. Her handbag shows how organized she is despite facing personal challenges. This also flashes out how private her life is. She blames herself for being so ugly. However, she is beautiful because all people are beautiful in a way. She is disturbed by her outward appearance. Not thinking twice about where to sit, she secludes and almost seems not to know what to do when troubled. When among people, Warringa is elevated and full of herself and seems to ‘scratch’ other peoples’ backs. On the other side, she is regarded as a woman who outwardly rubs shoulders with her inherent inferior qualities; her spirits seem to be crushed. She is ashamed to be herself; she does not like the color of her skin because she thinks that a whiter skin could make her luckier or open brighter perspectives for her. A problem shared is a problem solved: Warning is going through personal issues that are internal and poking to the heart. Instead of sharing her concerns, she isolates herself hence enlarging the
Introduction This paper aims to discuss such phenomenon as work stress and its effects on individuals and organizations. Overall, there are numerous definitions of this disorder; I would like to adopt the explanation provided by World Health Organization; it says that work stress is a negative emotional and physical response which is caused by the fact that a person cannot meet job demands, or thinks that he/she cannot cope with his/her work duties (WHO, as cited in Drenth et al, 1998, p 397). This condition is normally accompanied by such symptoms as irritability, depression, the feeling of dissatisfaction, depression or even heart diseases (NIOSH, 2010, unpaged). In some cases, job stress can lead to aggression and violence toward others (co-workers, family members, and even completely unknown people). Managers of leading companies have long realized that this phenomenon is dangerous to both employees and companies, and one of their priorities is to remove the causes of work stress and or at least minimize its aftereffects. These are the most important questions that we need to analyze in this paper. The causes and effects of work stress The factors, leading to work stress In order to eliminate stressful situations in the workplace, one should first examine their underlying causes. At the moment, both scholars and managers concur that it is connected with the personal traits of an employee, and with the managerial policies, established within the company. One of the reasons why people can suffer from work stress is inadequate level of self-esteem (Resnick, 2004, p 15). For example, a person, who has a low level of self-esteem, usually regards any workplace problem as a sign of his/her inaptitude and inability to live up to the employer’s expectations. Normally, such people experience extreme feeling of anxiety or depression which may eventually culminate into a nervous breakdown. There is also a reverse side of this coin, and it is high level of self-esteem. As a rule, these individuals believe that the senior management is biased against them and criticizes them unjustly. For them, any managerial criticism is a personal offence. Excessive perfectionism is another character trait greatly contributes to work stress because a person, who usually sets high standards for himself, is more vulnerable to workplace stress. The thing is that such individuals usually dedicate too much time to some minor details that are not very relevant to their immediate duties, while their overall productivity remains at the same level (Corveleyn et al, 2005, p 116). Furthermore, when they do not receive credit for their perfectionism, they begin to think that they are undervalued by the managers. When speaking about individual sources of work stress, we should also mention poor relations with family members and friends, health problems, sleep deprivation and so forth. They do not directly trigger ag
Invoking a Warranty According to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 46.7, “the use of a warranty is compulsory is not mandatory”. Nonetheless, if the benefits to be derived from the warranty are proportionate to the warranty cost, the contracting officer can then consider including that factor in the agreement. To determine whether the warranty can be invoked whenever any discrepancy occurs, such as a defect, fraud or gross mistake in the supplied goods or services, the following conditions are provided under FAR section 46.703 (Arnavas & Ruberry, 2001). The contractor has to consider the nature and the utility of the goods or services, the cost of the goods or services, the administration and enforcement, the complexity of identifying defects prior to acceptance, storage period of the product, state of the art and the level of development among other things. Whenever there is gross mistake, or fraud of a defect in commodity provided, the warranty can be invoked as per specific conditions. First, if the product fails to perform the intended use. A warranty is invoked whenever the product of the services provided indicate the defects as defined in the FAR section 46.703 with regard to the products and services delivered in the contract. The government may require that the supplier inspects or assesses and then take actions necessary to correct the defect, or replace the product, or any other form of compensation to reimburse in case of a fraud. All these should be done at no additional cost on the materials, labor, and transport expenses or otherwise. The government may also need the contractor or the supplier to provide all the instruction based on the complexity of use, state of art, level of development etc necessary to correct the defect or all accomplishment of the intended use at reasonable cost as long as such action will correct the defect. The reason for invoking a warranty has to be included in the agreement. As a matter of fact, the main reason why the warranty has to be issued in a government contract is to ensure that the rights and obligations of the contractor and the state are well defined with regard to defective products and services. As such, a warranty helps to foster quality performance on the side of the service and products supplier. A warranty provides a contractual right for the correction of the defects in spite of other requirements of the contract regarding the acceptance of the supplies (Arnavas & Ruberry, 2001). It also gives the period to be covered and the benefits of the warranty. Express Warranty and Implied Warranty The use of warranties was popularized by national retailers and the car dealers over the past five decades. They are either offer written or implied warranties to show their customers that their products are reliable. Most of the states require that the manufacturers give warranties for the products or services provided by suppliers. To the least of their ability, they ha
Preaching Holiness: Summary The concept of holiness is frequently used when discussing the notion of Christian values and the importance of spiritual progress, yet the very notion of holiness remains the source of multiple confusion for a range of Christian people. By conflating the concept of holiness with the state of being holy and sinless in one’s nature, Christin people consider pursuing holiness a pointless and even impossible task, which is quite far from the truth (Leclerc, 2010). Therefore, changing people’s minds in order to shape the discourse is highly required. Applying different perspectives on holiness to the analysis, as well as considering some of the Biblical mentionings of the concept of holiness, one will realize that the subject matter embraces a vast number of ideas apart from the notion of being devoid of sin. In fact, the latter does not necessarily factor into the phenomenon of holiness in a range of theological perspectives (Leclerc, 2010). Therefore, interpreting the subject matter as the goal of spiritual development that will allow one to establish a better personal relationship with God should be seen as a priority for the Christian community. Furthermore, the problem of disobedience in the contemporary Christian community as a major obstacle to promoting holiness and the developing of strategies for attaining sanctification needs to be mentioned. The challenge of transforming the current perspective on the holistic approach of questioning ideas and principles of Christianity and especially the principles established in the Bible needs to be outlined as one of the foundational concerns (Leclerc, 2010). Finally, the problem of the lack of wisdom and the unwillingness to explore the dialogue with God further through spiritual practices, primarily, prying, deserves a mention as the primary issue with the promotion of holiness in today’s world. The specified issue leads to underestimating the importance of holiness and, therefore, the failure to develop it as an essential component of communication with God (Leclerc, 2010). Overall, the absence of a coherent perspective on holiness and the strategies that can be used to promote it represents one of the main issues with the promotion of holiness and the possibility of sanctification among modern Christians. Being Passionate about Holiness Problem A substantial number of people look at the idea of holiness with a substantial amount of skepticism and even disbelief as the goal that they are unlikely to ever approach, not to mention attain, given the perceived criteria for achieving holiness that is quite ubiquitous in modern media (Darrell, 2009). However, the idea of holiness as being an immaculate human being with no imperfections is quite detached from the truth, namely, from the current understanding of holiness as a theological concept. Instead of viewing holiness as an attribute of divinity, one should consider holiness as the point of spiritual development at which one becomes capable of living by the Biblical principles and ideas, par
Strategic Planning Mission and vision statements, core values and organisational goals have become defining forces in the formulation of organisational strategy. To this end, some strategists note that mission and vision statements, core values and goals can offer options to a tedious work of organisational planning (Dobson, Starkey and Richards 10). This is because stakeholders look at organisations in terms of their mission and vision statements, core values and goals. These factors define the long-term purpose of a company with regard to its services and products. Organisational strategies and objectives must support its vision and mission statements, core values, and goals. Vision and mission statements, core values, and goals should show the purpose of the firm in terms of the main business, principal values and aspirations. It should also show key stakeholders and principles of the code of conduct to guide employees on how to behave. Therefore, we shall focus on these strategies when formulating vision and mission statements, core values and goal for Gulf Fertilizer. This is a start-up organisation that needs well-formulated statements to provide strategies that can radically transform it for the markets it serves. These are the mission and vision statements, core values and goals of Gulf Fertilizer. Mission statement Gulf Fertilizer is a global leader in the provision of fertilizer to farmers. We are a leading fertilizer company that combines various processes and technology to produce high quality fertilizer. There is no other company in the world that produces fertilizer to farmers the way we do by integrating technology and research. Vision statement Gulf Fertilizer is dedicated to providing the best quality fertilizer with the aim of value creation for farmers and quality performance of crops, and providing productive and sustainable farming in society at large. Organisational goal To provide the best fertilizer manufactured with the state-of-the-art technology and research. Core values   * Proving the best quality natural and organic fertilizers available   * Delighting and satisfying customers through meeting their diverse needs   * Creating ongoing win-win partnerships with suppliers   * Caring about farmers and the environment   * Promoting the safety and health of farmers through education programmes on fertilizer handling and usages Description of the organizational environment, both the internal functions and the external context The internal environment an organisation reflects features within the organisation.

Some elements of the internal environment may relate to the management, whereas others affect the entire organisation. Gulf
In the current society, the number of older people is gradually increasing and these seniors are in most cases living alone. Consequently, they suffer intense feelings of loneliness that cause common medical problems observed among the older population. Over the past decade, there have been great advances in the field of information technology and these changes have greatly revolutionized the way people interact, work and carry out their daily duties. This report will highlight how some IT applications can offer help for older generations to enforce their social contacts and be actively involved in different social activities. Literature review will be needed for creating the theoretic background, while the descriptive nature of the research will emphasize the challenges that old people face, and the solution process for these challenges. Since the actual importance of studying the challenges will help to define the solution strategy in the global scales, the study is based on the interview intended to test older people. Introduction Topic Area Since older generations have difficulties with the communication technologies, the study of these technologies, as well as helping these people to solve the appearing challenges, will be helpful for simplifying the entire usage of the communication technologies, and expanding the target audience of the communication technologies producers and developers. Nevertheless, digital technologies are intended to simplify most everyday operations, like communication, ordering goods and products, paying for services and son on. (Independent Age, 2010) However, these technologies often mess up older people, and perform the opposite function. This research will be helpful for creating the basis for improving the everyday life and activities for older people. As it is stated by Pollack (2005), technology use among older people has a great potential of bringing great social benefits. Technology use among old people has a great potential of bringing great social benefits to old people like participation (Pollack 2005). This proposal is set to demonstrate that technology has the potential and the ability of enabling the elderly people in their bed to renew and enforce their social contacts. Having considered all this, the use of IT applications can offer a chance to engage old people in meaningful work and other essential tasks in life (Rogers & Fisk, 2006). Research Questions The study will be based on the hypothesis that the information technology advances and innovativeness can offer old people with means of interacting with other people and actively participating in different activities (Independent Age 2010). These technologies will prevent the feelings of isolation among old people so that they do not suffer loneliness and social seclusion (Victor et al 2005). The core questions that have inspired this study include;  1. How can IT technology be used to prevent and alleviate the feelings of social seclusion and loneliness among
Nowadays, it is only the handful of uneducated Christian fundamentalists, who continue to refer to the Bible as the actual “word of God”, due to the fact that Christianity had long ago lost its conceptual validity, as theological doctrine. However, it would be wrong to think that such a situation came about as the result of particularly recent developments, in the field of empirical science. Even as far back as in 16 th century, many European intellectuals were beginning to realize the sheer outdatedness of Christian worldview. And the reason for this was simple – ever since Martin Luther had translated the Bible from Latin into the secularly spoken German language, Catholic clergy was deprived of its exclusive right on interpreting the “holy book”. In his book “Protestant Thought and Republican Spirit: How Luther Enchanted the World”, Joshua Mitchell says: “Luther’s stress upon the pure inwardness of religious experience inculcated an attitude of quietude and quiescence toward worldly power. Religion perhaps gained in spirituality, but the state certainly gained in power” (Mitchell 1992, p. 689). In its turn, this explains why Christopher Marlowe’s play “The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus” and John Milton’s poem “Paradise Lost” provide us with unconventional interpretation of Hell – the fact that both writers’ worldviews have been affected by religious movement of Protestantism, caused Marlowe and Milton to adopt philosophical rather then literal approach, while dealing with the subject matter. In this paper, we will aim at substantiating the validity of this statement by analyzing Marlowe and Milton’s visions of Hell as being fundamentally different from those closely associated with Catholic tradition. The reason why White Protestants became undisputed masters of the world by the end of 19 th century is that they continuously sought to grasp the essence of highly abstract notions, such as the notion of divinity, for example, while striving to refrain from viewing these notions as intellectually petrified categories. Unlike Jews, Muslims or Buddhists, they were trying to associate religious laws with the notion of common sense. This is exactly the reason why the character of Satan in Milton’s poem cannot be referred to as a classical villain. Upon being exposed to Satan’s reasoning as to why he decided to rebel against God, we recognize it as not being entirely deprived of rationale: “The mind is its own place, and in it self Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n… To reign is worth ambition though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n” (Milton, Book I
Discussion of the environmental problems of the planet is one of the most pressing topics today. While some are looking for the cause of the issues globally, others reduce it to a person. The latter includes works from 2014 by Jensen and McKibben. Even though both authors address the same problems, their works highlight different causes of it. Jensen argues in his writings that people should stop using shorter showers. These actions will not allow preserving nature since the actions of one person are not able to control the global waste of resources. Such problems require corresponding global solutions, which can only be achieved through the efforts of the entire society. However, since harmony in society is impossible without each person’s efforts, it is essential to direct these efforts towards truly significant socio-ecological actions. In full measure, Jensen’s idea can be described as follows: each person is in a situation in which even if they undertake several actions, it will not make up for the total loss of resources. The author clearly reveals this thesis with an example: a person taking a shower is not responsible for the lack of water, since 90% of water is used by industry and agriculture, while only 10% is spent on domestic needs (Jensen). In other words, people are not even faced with a dilemma of choice. And a person got into such a situation through the fault of the whole society, and it is the society that needs to solve this problem. Compared to Jensen, McKibben associates environmental issues with each individual. Even implicit actions, such as choosing another profession other than ecology, negatively affect the environment. However, both authors understand that humanity is wasting too many resources without replenishing them. Both writers agree that the problem requires attention, both from each person and society as a whole. Finally, both writers agree that each person is responsible for their actions concerning nature. Only further steps and approaches that lead to the same goal are different in the works. Work Cited Jensen, Derrick. “Forget Shorter Showers.” Orion Magazine, 2009, Web.
Peers are people your age or close to it, who have experiences and interests similar to yours. Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by a friend or friends in encouraging a person to do something that you do not want to do. Peer pressure is one thing that all teens have in common, and almost everyone faces peer pressure once in a while. You can’t escape it; it is everywhere. No matter how popular you are, how well-liked you may be, or how together you feel, sooner or later you will have to face peer pressure but how successfully you handle peer pressure depends a great deal on how you feel about yourself and your place in the world. Nearly everyone wants to be liked and to feel that we belong. This often means wanting to fit in with the crowd – having similar clothes, music, doing the same things, and going to the same places. There is nothing wrong with this as long as you don’t feel under pressure to do something that you cannot afford or feel uncomfortable doing. Peer Pressure can be broken down into two areas; good peer pressure and bad peer pressure. Bad peer pressure is being coerced into doing something that you didn’t want to do because your friends said that you should, e.g., take drugs, smoke, bullying, unsafe sex, etc. Good peer pressure, on the other hand, is being pushed into something that you didn’t have the courage to do or just didn’t cross your mind to do; it can also be a situation when your friends convince you not to do something you were going to do because it wasn’t in your best interest. In positive peer pressure, one can find Friendship where you find acceptance and share experiences that can build lasting bonds; Positive Examples, e.g., having peers who are committed to doing well in school or to doing their best in a sport, can influence you to be more goal-oriented, too. Peers who are kind and loyal influence you to build these qualities in yourself; Feedback and Advice; Socializing which gives you a chance to learn how to expand your circle of friends, build relationships, and work out differences and new experiences where your peers might get you involved in clubs, sports, or religious groups among others. Youth peer pressure is one of the most
