Introduction The Moonrise Kingdom is a 2012 American film directed by Wes Anderson, written by Anderson and Roman Coppola. This is a story of love between two children, Suzy and Sam, who accidentally meet each other and decide to run away together. Main text In the Moonrise Kingdom, one can find dialogues of different types and functions. In the majority of cases communication between Sam and Suzy helps the audience to get to know some information about their personalities and the way they live. New decisions are made on this basis and thus the story moves forward. Just like in the dialogue near the sea, when the children confess that they love each other (Anderson 74). As both of them look for adventures, they get such an opportunity, and the events proceed. In their dialogues, Sam and Suzy relive certain experiences about their personal histories and relationships with people they know, describe their worldview, and in some cases emotional state. The last one, however, is more vivid, when is conveyed through mimic and moves. Plant and playoff are the things awaiting the audience while watching the film. As usual, the knowledge that is hinted at leads the audience down the wrong path, so later this knowledge is revealed through some actions or talks, for example, a brooch on Sam’s jacket. It is there all the time, and most likely no attention is paid to it by the viewers till the moment when Suz
Background Monism refers to a philosophical ideology that holds that physical beings as well as the universe is made up of a single entity. The concept of monism asserts that the world and the body are made up of a single entity that is unified by a particular substance (Doubestein). On the other hand, the ideology of dualism posits that the body is made up of two important elements that combine to form an individual which is the physical element and spiritual aspect of it (Doubestein). In our contemporary society the people who subscribe to the ideology of dualism are more widespread because of the credibility of this concept compared to monism. Indeed since the first time that the concept of dualism was first elaborated by Descartes, the world is becoming more and more inclined to believe in dualism because of the existence of various literature and evidence that supports this model. Hypothesis If we are to reject the ideology of dualism then we will by extension have to subscribe to the ideology of monism since these are basically the only two ideologies. Therefore the hypothesis in this case would be; “dualism is the most widely held belief in the world because it is the model that is largely supported by various educational and literature theories”. Method To determine whether dualism is the most widely held theory in our contemporary society we need to assess it against other literature and educational theories that we commonly rely on in our present times. The Cartesian world view that evolved during the 20 th and 19 th century provided the first evidence that humans have two elements; the body and the mind (Wilkie and Hurt). This description of humans provided the earliest foundations of the evolution of ontologic dualism which did not provide room for the integration of monism perspectives of this model. It is the principles of the Cartesian geometry developed by Descartes which we still rely on today that tipped the scale in favor of dualism from a pure scientific point of view. Over the last century the concept of dualism has been advanced to another level with the invention of two important theories that further supports the ideologies of dualism; psychophysical interaction and psychophysical parallelism (Wilkie and Hurt). The principles of psychophysical parallelism explains the theory of dualism by describing the simultaneous ability of the physical and the mental aspects of the body to function together in the entity of the body in a coordinated manner. Psychophysical interaction principle is more or less a modification of the parallelism model and advances the theory of the causal effect that is observed between the body and the mind as evidence of their coexistence. This is by far the most convincing evidence that we have, which so far supports the model of dualism in our contemporary society. Discussion The contentious issues that are advanced by the models of dualism and monism is a never ending debate that still continues to polarize the fundamental principles of modern psychology as well as philosophy itself. In our modern day society
Executive Summary Business Identification The name of the business to be created is Locker Laundry, which is a drop-and-go dry cleaning service venture. The concept of the business is drop off and pick up laundry storefront. However, all cleaning is sub-contracted to established dry cleaners. The company will set aside a special place where customers can drop their dirty laundry and only pick it up when clean. The main operating system will be similar to the one used in post offices. Clients will not have a direct contact with the management. In the building that the business enterprise will be located, lockers will be located at the front where clients will drop off the laundry. The store will initially be leased while the locker rooms will be located on the front where the public can access them quickly and easily. However, due to the relative openness of the enterprise, security for the clients’ items will be guaranteed by the use of pin-code entry. Customers who will have signed up for credit/debit payments will be registered in the computer POS, which is a personal six-digit code, which will ensure the security of the transactions since the system will only be open to the customers and the handler. Once the customers have dropped off the dirty laundry in their respective lockers, they will then be taken for cleaning to another laundry that will be sub-contracted. After the cleaning, customers will then get the laundry in the lockers after a stated period depending on the time of delivery to the company. Mission, Goals and Objectives For any business to reach a point of boasting of having achieved, it must have a mission, goal, and objectives. These three requirements act as a guide to the business. The mission defines what the business is established to do not only to the benefit of the owner, but also to the employees and the public at large. Goals are like indicators of the far the business wishes to be after a specified period in terms of achieving its set objectives. Objectives on the other hand define the key deliverables that measure the business’ achievement. All objectives need to narrow down to the business’ vision and mission statement. The mission of the company is to provide convenient and efficient laundry services for the general population. The first goal of the company is to be the leading laundry shop in the country in a period of ten years. The company is relatively new with the idea being conceived recently. The capital is not large enough to provide the necessary means of achieving the objective. However, with the projected opportunity and growth, the business will most likely achieve it. Another goal is to provide efficient and reliable services to the working class people at their own convenience. Since this group of people is often too busy, the company realizes the need to create a personalized laundry system where they can do it at their own convenient time. T
Introduction Fiji water is a company that was introduced by David Gilmour, who was a Canadian hotel and gold mining tycoon. The company began its’ activities in the Fiji Island. Through a lease from the government, the company obtained a piece of land located in Fiji’s main island that has numerous artesian aquifer found in the Yaqara valley. The slogans used by the company were significant in attracting a competitive advantage. For instance, the company used slogans like “untouched” and “unpolluted” to show the desire to conserve the environment. This created a competitive advantage, which made the company gain a new brand image, an indicator of good health, new trends, and a high-end. Currently, the company has been encountering criticism on its’ business model, which it uses in shipping products and the carbon print. For carbon print criticism, it emerged from the areas where there was high quality water, which is readily available. The aim of this report is to analyze the future options of Fiji waters company growing up as a company that will be conscious to the environment and ensure its’ sustainability. Situational Assessment Analysis of the competitive landscape Generally, the company’s rate of competition globally ranges between moderate and high. This conclusion is derived from the use of the Porters Five Forces, which is an analytical tool. Fiji Water competition emerges from the suppliers, who distribute substitute products. These suppliers are also found in the global beverages market. They include suppliers of carbonated drinks sparkling water and alcoholic beverages. The main competitors are from the suppliers and producers of bottled water. The US has several local bottled water brands. They include arrowhead, Zephyrhills, Deer park, Poland spring among others. Australia also has companies that compete with Fiji waters. They include Spring Valley twist, which is under the management of Cadbury Schweppes, Cool Ridge, Mount Franklin (which is a leader in Australia and receives its sources from the selected springs in Australia and is owned by Coca cola), Island Chill (A Fiji company, which is appreciated in Melbourne and is increasingly expanding to different regions of Australia). There are competitors like Island of Chill and Evian, who aim at making the market of water tap and other related bottled water superior. Island Chill tends to market silicone particles. The particles are perceived to be of high quality and luxurious, a strategy also used by Fiji water. This strategy is applied in the market of high premium image. Fiji water and Island Chill apply differentiation generic strategy to pursue this high premium image market. There are competitors who use mid prices to sale their water. An example of such companies is the Coca-cola and Nestle companies. This generic strategy concentrates on cost leadership. Unlike Evian water, these companies have employed the use of filtered water rather than the use of the streams from far-off and well known reserves. SWOT Analysis Strength Fiji Company has a number of opportunities that make it strong in the market. Firs
Define the Subject Period and large-scale conflict The Australian presence in the Vietnam War was a government’s step to help western nations, specifically the US, in containing the rapid spread of communism and socialism in Asia (Palazzo, 2006). Primary sources and inherent conflicts The battle was a product of the long ideological conflict between two schools of thought- capitalism (Australia and America) and Socialism (China and the Soviet Union) (Breen,1988). The Stage Strategic operation The war The battle involved 108 Australian forces (ANZACS) against North Vietnamese forces, the Viet Cong, estimated between 1500 and 2500. Overarching campaign American and USSR were competing for the control of Southeast Asia. America’s campaigns to win over USSR led to the inclusion of Australia her ally. USSR made allies with China. Principle objectives Australia was keen in helping contain the rapid Chinese and Soviet influence in Southeast Asia. The insurgent Cong forces were fighting to liberate North Vietnam from South Vietnam. Area Impact of Weather conditions There were heavy rains, with heavy cloud coverage. Heavy rains made the ground muddy, restricted movement by the forces Terrain analysis (OAKOC) The battlefield was at a rubber plantation in Lang Tan, a distance of 4.5 Km east of Nui Dat (Grandin, 2004). The terrain at the area was marked by high ground. The area was muddy, which became the main obstacle. The heavy vegetation was also a great obstacle. The only avenue of approach was by clearing bushes or crawling under the vegetation. However, these bushes also acted as a good cover for both forces. Comparison  1. Size and composition: D company had only 108 troops (with support from New Zealand Artillery). The commander divided his forces so that each ‘Company’ had specific responsibilities. Viet Cong had between 1500 and 2500 troops, composed of 275th and 274th Regiments and the local Provincial mobile Battalion (Buick & McKay, 2000).  2. Impact of Technology: Australians had better facilities than the Viet Cong, Including radio and radar detectors (McKay & Nicholas, 2001). Viet Cong had mortars, rifles, machine guns, and recoilless artillery (Anderson, 2002). The Australians had better artillery, machine guns, and a good supply provided by helicopters (O’Neill, 1968).  3. Training: most of Australia’s 108 men at the Battle were trained but inexperienced. The Cong comprised of 274TH and 275th Battalions based in Mao Taos, where some military training took place.  4. Logistics: Australian forces at Nui Dat had better logistics provided by helicopters and APCs. Helicopters were used to reinforce the forces after the attack. Helicopters brought ammunition
Researchers detect a number of major reasons for eucalyptus decline in Australia. These reasons are climatic extremes, improper management, agricultural pollution and a variety of pathogen organisms. It is necessary to add that some types of eucalypt are more vulnerable, for instance, E. sieberi or E. marginata . At that, the decline of these types may lead to the decline of other types of eucalypt growing in the area. As far as the reasons for the decline are concerned, climatic extremes are seen as the primary cause of eucalypt decline as recent droughts in Australia had a negative impact on the trees. Apart from droughts, frost and waterlogging are dangerous weather conditions which may lead to eucalypt decline. Trees growing in low areas where there is soil with poor drainage are especially vulnerable. The change of soil tends to lead to chronic abiotic stress in trees and their further decline. The trees which are impaired are affected by a number of species of pests which cause further decline. It is necessary to note that human activity negatively affects eucalypt
Introduction Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological illness that is triggered by terrifying events, such as life threatening, frightening or extreme overwhelming experiences. These events may be associated with human or natural-caused disasters, personal assaults, military combat, and accidents among others. Some other factors such as horror events and helpless situations among other can result to PTSD in a person who witness or experience them. PTSD keep on re-experiencing the traumatic occurrences and try to avoid contact with people, places, or other things that contributed to the disorder or which remind him of the events. In addition, a person in this condition is delicate or sensitive to the happening of the normal world. Despite the fact this condition is serious and has ever existed, human being has tolerated trauma and as a result this condition has made it hard to identify a person suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and has therefore been termed as a formal diagnosis for a long time. This condition has been nicknamed with many terms, for instance “soldier’s heart” condition by early American civil war veterans, “combat fatigue” in World War I, “gross stress reaction” in World War II, “post-Vietnam syndrome” by early Vietnam troops, “shell shock” and “battle fatigue.” (Frienman 2003). Statistical facts on PTSD A severe post traumatic stress disorder normally results from an extended exposure to events causing trauma and it is associated with long-term problems with damaged social and emotional functions. According to survey done by Nutt, Davidson and Zohr (2000), 7% – 8% of the US citizen will likely experience PTSD throughout their life with other cases of rape and combat veteran’s victims comprising of 10% – 30%. The survey also shows that in a nation that comprises more than one ethnic group such as America, some ethnic groups are more affected as compared to others. This is caused by different ways in which these groups practice ways of socializing, perception of inferiority by some ethnic groups, individuals self blaming as a result of perceiving themselves as minorities and ways of expressing stress which differs between these groups. In addition, since the minority groups are the most sufferance of conditions such as low self esteem, they are more likely to join sub-cultural groups such as army, at early age, something that expose them to PTSD. More importantly, women are considered to be more sensitive to PTSD as much as twice in comparison with men. In regard to the children and teens, research has shown that about 42% have undergone and endured at least one traumatic event with girl comprising the highest percent. Causes of PTSD Any trauma related to psychological or emotio
Introduction Humanity has always had a thrift for knowledge and discovery, trying to cognize the world that surrounds them and find answers to vital questions. That is why people offered multiple philosophical conceptions and paradigms that served as the main tool to investigate the world. At the same time, the complexity of some issues and the lack of knowledge to find appropriate explanations for various processes puzzled people and stipulated the creation of frameworks that could provide at least some treatment. In such a way, the first myths and religions appeared as a method to justify the existence of objects or phenomena that remained mysterious to people. Regarding the fact that the problem of people’s nature and their descent has always preserved its topicality, the central idea of any religion was the creation of a human being by God. These creationist moods had been dominant for a long period of history; however, the rise of science preconditioned the appearance of the idea of evolution that explained how species and human beings emerged. Background Regardless of the existence of numerous pieces of evidence proving the theory of evolution, there are still adherers of the creationism stating that the world with all its animals, nature, and people originated from the act of divine creation. Religious moods remain strong in a particular part of the population, which means that there can be a wrong idea or poor understanding of the way people evolved. At the same time, even among groups who recognize the true character of this theo
The point of the company’s mission statement, “Meet information requirements of management” is not only the most important but also the most critical and central component which provides the basis on which the rest of the communication and data sharing capabilities are achieved (Melenets, 2012). Data sharing entails getting accurate and correct information to the right people at the right time in the right way. That underpins the importance of meeting information requirements and effective communication which creates the right path for the flow of data. To achieve the objectives, the CIO must implement a LAN (Local Area Network) and a WAN (Wide Area Network) to create a strong foundation for communicating and sharing data and information over a wide area. Besides, the CIO should follow corporate guidelines when implementing centralized and distributed access to data. Besides, the system should be designed to appropriately meet the information requirements of the management in terms of establishing a shared understanding of how the information systems work to support people in their activities. Toval, Nicolás, Moros, and García, F. (2002) note that the entire paradigm involves clear and precise understanding of the existing information needs of the organization, how the organization uses information, how to account for any short term and long term changes to information needs, and an assessment of the existing information structure in terms of its suitability and strengths. In each case, the information needs requirements should be achieved besides factoring them into the development process of an organization’s information system. Typically, meeting the information needs of the organization is of paramount importance in the development of the network architecture of the organization that enables internal and external communication and sharing of information on the LAN and MAN to be effective. That is besides enabling effective sharing of tasks, supporting collaborative communication, and the sharing of resources. Evaluation of the roll out points The most important of the three points in the roll-out plan crystallizes after a complete analysis of the nine points of the company’s mission statement. According to Hirschheim, Porra, and Parks (2003), the first point details the provision of computing capabilities to each department that critically needs them is an important function which is a prerequisite to the development of the LAN and MAN networks. However, this could be one of the most critical points because the information technology architecture provides the base on which cooperate computing functions are provided. However, the second point that containing the capital and operations costs within the budget comes after the infrastructure such as the LAN and the MAN have been set up, which makes the pointless critical as compared with the first point. The third point, which entails satisfying the computing needs of the end-user departments, compels the need to address the information system requirements that are necessary for setting up the info
