Introduction Human beings have a self image of how they look like, their weaknesses and strong points. This image is shaped from childhood and influenced by the society and the people we live with. This self image leads to self esteem. When a person think that he is inferior t0 their peers in one way or another, leads to low self esteem (McKay & Patrick 2-12). This paper discusses methods that I can use to boost my esteem as learnt in class and how the methods learnt will be retained for a long period. Four things that I can do to improve my self esteem Low self esteem is a creation of the mind and thus it can be boosted. The following are some of the possible ways to boost esteem; Rebut the Inner Critic Esteem emanate from what the inner self is telling us on who we are. There are some negative perceptions that we hold of ourselves. The most important thing to do is to develop self love and liking. This is done through focusing on ones strong points, talents and strengths. When a person realizes that he is hanging around with a group that is pointing on his weaknesses, there is no danger in changing the group. Choosing the rights friends is of importance and keeping those friends who build our strengths and don’t look us down our weaknesses. Practice Self-Nurturing A person should ensure that he is at his best at any one time. Doing what one likes and putting on measures to improve how we look physically in terms of the clothes we wear, the make ups and the scent of the perfume we put on. These are small things but they give someone confidence and self liking. Get Help from Others The society and our friends have a role in how we feel about ourselves. Keeping friends who have trust in us boosts ones esteem. The friend may do this by genuine and healthy criticism which can assist a person to improve his ways. Wide reading of motivational books and watching such movies Reading motivational books assists a person to realize the differences that people have appreciate then and know how to utilize the strengths that he has been given. Reading of such books will lead to someone appreciating himself (Burns 2-23). What I have learnt from the key Idea I have learnt the need to self appreciate myself. I have learnt that if I don’t like myself, feel good about whom I am, and then the people around me will not be able to appreciate and respect me. Esteem is a creation of the mind and thus if I can deal with negative pictures and attitude about my own life, then I can raise my self esteem. The people around me have a role in shaping my esteem. I have realized that choosing friends is crucial for my esteem. If I hang around with people who recognize and respect my strong holds, then I will develop a high self esteem. Game plan for continuing to use esteem booting idea after class The initial step in developing high self esteem is by developing a self liking. Before I come of out of the house, I will b
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks written by Rebecca Skloot raises various contradictions that still have not been eradicated from the contemporary society. In addition, the writing dwells upon the birth of bioethics. This dramatic scientific research has resonated strongly in society, and it inevitably affects everyone who reads the book. The purpose of this paper is to consider the topics raised by this research and to analyze its core underlying messages. Background The book tells about a woman named Henrietta Lacks. One day it turned out that she was sick and the doctor providing services to Henrietta took her cells without the woman’s consent. Later, these cells became an important medical tool and caused a major breakthrough in the industry while their owner died without knowing about the contribution she made to the lives of future generations (Skloot 370). Themes, Formative Influences, and Social Identification It should be stressed that this book has covered many critical topics. One of them is the theme of suffering. The family of Henrietta Lacks had to face the consequences of slavery and the outcomes of institutionalized racism. As the family was poor and society was full of prejudice, it was impossible to break the circle of poverty and harassment. Many of the family members, as well as Henrietta, were uneducated people; consequently, they were limited in their opportunities (Skloot 299). The formative influence of legal system on the lives of common people resulted in the number of barriers that the family had to overcome. Another theme is morality and ethics. Although Henrietta was diseased, she did not give her consent for removing the cells for research purposes (Skloot 298). Although she did agree to have the cancer cells to be removed, the woman was not aware that they would be given away for experimentation. The ethics of scientific research lies in the fact that the patient has to be knowledgeable of everything that will happen to his or her cells and Henrietta only knew that cancer cells would be cut away. This difference reveals the ethical violation performed by the scientists. Notably, the social identity of the family evolves throughout the story. Initially, the family was questioning why scientists were making huge money on Henrietta’s cells whereas they were unable to receive any benefit from them. Nonetheless, Deborah Lacks revealed another perspective on this issue when she expressed her concern that her mother was never officially acknowledged as a person who made all the discoveries implementable (Deborah 301). The financial aspect did not play any significant role since the family wanted that Henrietta’s role in scientific research was recognized. Also, the theme of race intensifies the ethical dilemma. The woman’s background had a direct impact on the doctor’s unethical decision-making. With the development of the plot, both the family and the readers could comprehend that it was their race that prevented the family from gaining equal access to education and resulted in the improper treatment of individual
Introduction All organisms are made up of cells; they contain structures and perform functions that ensure the survival of all living entities. Nonetheless, they can be exposed to certain conditions that alter their functioning since they survive in specific environments. These conditions include high temperatures, low temperatures, exposure to certain chemicals, and even Ultraviolet radiation. High temperature above a cell’s optimum temperature for survival affects the structural composition of a cell. The plasma membrane (PM) is affected first since it is the outer boundary. It comprises a phospholipid bilayer containing fatty acids (F.A.) and integral proteins forming a mosaic. The components of this layer make it selective for molecules and ions, regulating substances that pass through it. Extremely high temperatures lead to reduced rigidity of F.A., changing the PM’s permeability allowing entry of materials that may be harmful to the cell, and denaturing Proteins that make up the mosaic. All organelles bound by a membrane are subject to these effects, which eventually cause apoptosis. Ultraviolet rays focus on the cell’s DNA; exposure to U.V. rays causes damage either directly or indirectly. Direct harm occurs when photons of the U.V. rays hit the DNA molecule. It absorbs energy and becomes briefly excited, and it is during this excitation that two DNA base pairs of proximity can fuse and cause mutations in the structure. This alteration leads to changes in the functioning of the cell. Indirect harm is caused when an oxygen molecule (O2) comes into contact with U.V. rays and becomes unstable due to excitation. The O2, therefore, collides with any protein in the quest to dissipate the extra energy. If a collision occurs with DNA, transversion between guanine and thymine occurs, altering the DNA’s translation into protein. Consequently, mutations that are harmful to the functioning of the cell follow.In this experiment, cultured bacteria; Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus capitis, and Enterobacter aerogenes were focused on to see how increased temperatures and ultraviolet rays affected them. B. megaterium is a rod-like, aerobic gram-positive bacteria in common soils and some food such as honey. It survives in temperatures of 3◦C to 45◦C; however, its optimal temperature for functioning is 30◦C. It is also known to survive harsh conditions of up to 65◦C. Staphylococcus capitis is an aerobic, gram-positive bacteria found on the normal flora of the skin- the scalp, face, neck, scrotum, and ears. The coagulase-negative bacteriocin exists between 6.5◦C to 46◦C with an optimal functioning being between 30◦C and 37◦C. ?’##Enterobacter aerogenes is a pathogenic rod-shaped, gram-negative oxidase-negative bacteria. It is found within the
Abstract Military life is a normal style of life for many Americans. Nowadays, the United States has to participate in numerous political and military conflicts to support order, justice, and citizenship comfort. Military families may be observed in different states, and military children have to get access to appropriate education and other conditions that may promote their personal growth and development. The U.S. government supports the choice of citizens to be a part of military service and introduces several special programs for military families. Childcare programs represent a significant part of the military care system. In this research study, the discussion of the military lifestyle is developed to clarify its possible effects on young children regarding their families’ needs and expectations. A mixed research design is chosen to answer the main research questions. 20 families and 10 childcare providers are invited to participate in interviews and a survey about the connection between military service and the childhood care system. The results should prove that the military lifestyle has a certain impact on young children and their families. As soon as the needs of military families are recognized, they have to be compared with the conditions under which children receive professional care and education. In the early stages, children can memorize huge amounts of information. However, they are not aware of how to interpret all data and develop relationships with the world. Appropriate childcare, the worth of military service, and the peculiarities of military families have to be discussed in this study to understand the effects of the military lifestyle on children. Summary of Proposal This research proposal aims at discussing the conditions under which Americans have to serve, create families, and bring up their children. The impact of the military lifestyle on military children and the early childhood care system will be discussed in terms of a thoroughly developed literature review and the findings from surveys offered to military families and interviews conducted with military families and childcare providers. Military families may have special needs, and the existing care systems should meet these needs. The research proposal proves the importance of the chosen topic and introduces the problems military families face while promoting their children’s development. The appropriateness of the research methods and the literary sources is proved by the possibility to answer the main research questions and create a basis for future recommendations to childcare providers. In general, it is expected to cooperate with different people and work with multiple sources to obtain enough qualitative and quant
There is no use denying the fact that the modern age could be taken as the era of humanism and tolerance. The thing is that nowadays a human being is proclaimed to be the greatest value and everything should be done to protect its interests and rights. However, being supposed as the main condition for the development of society very often leads to some other problems. It should be said that in the last several decades the number of cases of violence increased and there is a tendency to assume that it happened because of the change of attitude towards a human being. Having understood that they have a great number of rights, people start to feel impunity. Especially vital this fact becomes for various institutions. There are usually many people who work there and, that is why the danger increases. Due to this fact, people could suffer from the aftermath of the increased aggression. Several factors could be taken as precipitating ones. First of all, it is the already mentioned feeling of impunity. However, the increase of the level of stress, which results from the interaction of many people and a great number of demands to a person (Rice et al.,1989), is also important. Finally, it could also be the question of upbringing as people are not explained the main aspects of social behavior. Besides, it should be said that all these factors should be taken into account by a company. The thing is that it is responsible for the creation of conditions that could be taken as beneficial ones for workers. That is why a company should also control the manifestations of aggression and violence. With th
Church in Australia at the Turn of the Century (Australia’s Church Life on the Verge of the 19th and 20th Centuries) In the late 19 th century, all churches present in Australia were in dire need of new members, particularly male ones. One of the reasons for this was that priests’ salaries often depended on their congregation’s generosity and men were the only earners in the family at that time (O’Brien 440). There were also significant cultural and social differences between the clergy and their parish, which had their implications. In the Church of England, ministers were mostly English, and the Catholic Church’s ones were Irish (O’Brien 441). This inevitably created a barrier of the birthplace, which hindered their communication with the locals and affected the number of new members. This situation enabled priests to seek new believers among the bushmen, which required proving their “manliness” (O’Brien 442). Clergy that went to the outback had to be physically fit, able to endure harsh conditions, and tolerant of the habits of their parish to earn their respect. In large cities, such as Melbourne, the problems of decreasing church attendance and general religious disbelief were also present. The discussion between the clergy and the non-believers was maintained in different publications, including Melbourne Review and the Victorian Review, which provided a platform for the exchange of opinions (Roe 149). For example, the Anglican minister of Williamstown wrote, “I have felt the reproach of having failed to comprehend and s
The significance of GAAP cannot possibly be underrated. The framework allows for a uniform approach toward financial reporting, thus, making the process of monitoring simpler and more successful (Goldstein, 2017). Incorporating key ratios it shows the whole picture of a company’s performance. GAAP allows considering essential factors that affect a company’s financial performance when making an important business decision. For example, when combined, the quick ratio and the liquid ratio not only provide a rather detailed account of a company’s short- and long-term liabilities but also serve as a platform for delineating a strategy for managing corporate financial assets. Inventory, which is overlooked when using the identified ratios, can be taken into account when deploying the inventory turnover ratio (Weygandt, Kimmel, & Kieso, 2014). Consequently, an organization’s purchasing system can be redesigned successfully to establish tighter control over the use of a company’s financial assets. The debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, in turn, sheds light on whether an organization is capable of meeting the liabiliti
Introduction The present banking marketplace is exceptionally competitive. Therefore, there is a need for Co-operative Bank to keep on advancing, retaining, and attracting top talent so as to possess exceptional skills that are aimed at developing people. In addition, there are wide arrays of transformations in the banking marketplace that urges banks to keep on assisting the employees to embrace the critical novel initiatives that are essential for keeping the pace (Treadway, Adams & Goodman, 2005). During the previous three decades, Empowerment Institute has been extremely active in formulating the ‘empowering organization.’ This involves behavior transformation, development of talents, and changing the culture in an organization. In addition, the features of a disempowering culture are transformed so that change initiatives can be successful in future. Empowerment Institute recommends this methodology to small and large organizations. Moreover, a large number of practitioners have been trained on how the methodology can be implemented. In all organizations, there is at least one feature of a disempowering culture. In such an organization, transformation initiatives cannot be implemented (Greshon & Straub, 2009). This paper aims at describing specific examples of the symptoms identified at Co-operative Bank and developing a plan for transforming the practices and empowering employees. In addition, the conclusions will be elaborated. Apathy and burnout Apathy refers to an indifference state in an individual or failing to portray emotions such as passion, concern, motivation, and excitement. The person is not interested in anything and does not associate his work with any meaning. On the same note, employees experiencing job burnout portray features such as low or absence of motivation and enthusiasm, exhaustion, frustration, and cynicism. This is particularly the case among the human service employees at Co-operative Bank. There is a need for Co-operative Bank to ensure that its employees have meaning in their anticipations and goals. Failure to this, employees may be unable to solve simple challenges and have concentration issues. If employees fail to achieve their goals, they experience further burnout (Treadway, Adams & Goodman, 2005). Example Apathy and burnout are more co
Introduction Learning can be defined as a process of acquiring and developing new knowledge and habits from the environment from time to time. People develop new habits as a way of approaching a particular problem by learning new concepts or applying what others use. Learning theories have had a lot of impacts on criminology as people tend to act under stimuli that are often under reinforcement. Bandura argued that a person attends, retains, rehearses, and performs a particular activity that he or she has learned from others (69). This modeling stage has a lot of impacts in shaping the behavior of a person in the long run either positively or negatively. Therefore, it determines the kind of person to be in the future. Law enforcement practices It is worth mentioning that learning theories are very useful in contemporary criminal justice practices by trying to explain how human actions are related to the evils done. Law enforcement practices require a lot of concerted efforts by the legal authorities to understand mechanisms to be adopted. This will be helpful to them because the civilians have different styles of learning and implementing the rule of law (Bandura 71). Cases of civilians ignoring the rule of law be directly related to the human learning process. Those individuals who often break the laws have a criminal history and have not yet been exposed to the rule of law practices. Judicial practices From the legal perspective, learning theories are also applicable in judicial practices. Judicial practices are concerned with delivering verdicts to those convicted of a crime. Understanding the crime learning theories is very important and their impacts determine the destiny of a case. This is because the legal officers have deep a understanding of the facts surrounding a case which enables them to make a sound judicial ruling (Winfree & Howard 41). Correctional practices Learning theories in correctional practices have average implications on contemporary criminal justice when compared with the rest. This is since convicted criminal needs to be rehabilitated to pave way for a new way of life. Rehabilitation personnel needs to understand the reasons behind the emergence of criminal tendencies and practices of the convicts. This will be useful because the convicts can be corrected to adopt new life by following their best way of learning (Bandura 78). On the other hand, poor understanding of their learning habits may not achieve the desired objectives because the convicts are not conversant with them. Therefore, when handling the convicts, it is very important to correct them according to their best understanding. Strong implications From the above discussions, it can be seen that law enforcemen
Introduction Companies in modern market environments are working towards achieving competitiveness. Emirates Airlines is not exclusion because the management of the company has established strategies to capture more customers in the global markets. The resources of the company have been strategically directed towards improving performance in the global markets. The intensifying competition in the airlines industry has forced players to embrace competitive strategies for sustainable business operation. Some of the competitive strategies adopted by companies in the industry are improving corporate social responsibility. This has achieved a lot of importance among many players in the airlines industry. In addition, companies have focused on low-cost operations in the airline industry. This strategy has improved the prices offered in the market to the customers. Low cost products in the airline industry have been focused on reducing the prices of products in the market (Pride, William and Ferrell, p. 148). Description of organization Emirates Airline is based in UAE and was founded in 1985. It started from a humble beginning because it leased two aircrafts from Boeing and airbus to start operations. The first flights by the company were made to Mumbai, Karachi and Delhin. The company provides commercial air transport domestically and globally. Emirates has different products that range from the transport of passengers, cargos and carrying postage. Other products of the company are wholesaling and retailing consumer goods, in-flights, as well as leisure management. More than 130 jets are operated by the company, and an estimated 10 cargo freighters. Emirates has established partnerships with Boeing and Airbus for the supply of jets, airplanes and other products (Graham, Papatheodorou and Forsyth, 155). The most recent global economic crisis has affected the performance of the company. The uncertainty in recovery of the economies of most countries is not predictable, and this has affected the sustainability of the company. The purchasing power of customers in the industry has been reduced after the global economic crisis, and this has forced companies in the industry to apply low cost strategies to reduce prices of the products offer4ed in the market. As such, most companies are entering the low cost markets to improve their profits. Emirates Airlines has been forced to start the strategy of low cost operations to attract as many customers as possible from the global markets (Graham, Papatheodorou and Forsyth, 156). Corporate social responsibility Economic responsibility The company has operated responsibly to control the inflation in the global economies. The management has been responsive to global economic changes to ensure that the operations of the company do not violate the economic environments of the countries it operates in. In this respect; the company has introduced strategies to control inflation by minimizing expenditures. In addition, the company has been responsible in payin
