The main aim of literature is to share thoughts, emotions, and even just impressions from the world with the reader. There are different types of literature: poetry, drama, and fiction. Poetry is the most emotional and symbolical, fiction has the narration form in most cases and drama is more close to real life by the way of expression and structure. The construction of drama allows the reader to understand the relations between people, the atmosphere inside the play through dialogues. Dialogue is the main concern in the drama. Psychological Critical Perspectives aim to follow and analyze the changes in society, the differences between social classes and groups which can impact some individuals and groups of people. (Holdstock 2000) The plays under consideration are “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen (1879) and “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles. The current paper aims to give the Psychological Critical Perspectives of these two plays. “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen gives the reader the vision of traditional relations between man and woman, their social roles, and the relations inside the marriage in the XIX century. The play involves the reader into the world of the XIX century. The characters are so interconnected, have so many shared secrets that the reader has an impression that he also became one of the parts of their secrets. There are a lot of ironic and humorous circumstances in the play. (DiYanni 2003) The reader may see Ibsen’s question through Nora’s quotes, whether that society was right when forcing women and men to some certain roles in the society. The reader is given the negative effect of the created men and women stereotyped roles in the society of the XIX century. The author presented the middle class in his play as limited, brutal, and unforgiving creations. He aimed to underline and emphasize the problems which existed in that society. Dr. Rank and his disease is a symbolic example of the sickness of the whole society during those times. Henrik Ibsen tries to give the reader the understanding that the stereotypes and forced roles can create nothing but versa effect, that people should be given some freedom of choice what place in the society they want to take. The play “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles presents us with the person who understood his blame and punished himself for that. The difference between this play from the others of that period is that the end of the story is not connected with the passions and vices of the main character, but constructed by destiny. “Sophocles emphasizes the individual’s uncompromising search for truth, which is evident in his play “Oedipus Rex” (DiYanni 2003-958). The main character searches for the truth and conquers it. The comic, maybe even ironic effect presents in the play “Oedipus Rex”, “when the messenger’s speech unsettled rather than reassures Oedipus about who is he and what he
Nothing Distance about It. The author speaks on the feminist movement in the 1960’s and the good things that happened as a result of the movement. She demonstrates the achievements of the feminist movement despite the contradictions and shortcomings of the radicals in the 1960’s. The world though is a better place today due to the gains in the feminist movement in the political and labour force environment. The feminist movement was ignited by the events that were taking place at that time. The Black movement had a great influence on the feminists. The Black movement said that the African Americans were an American colony in the country. In the same way the feminists put forward that the female body had been colonised by the men. The women were pursuing a total social transformation in the society. The radicals at the time went against the institutions at the time. The Black movement and the Left movement created alternate schools, political parties, universities and media. Similarly the women liberationists also created alternate abortion referral services, health clinics and rape crisis centres. The main idea was that politics is personal. It was a time of personal politics. The radicals were tired of a mediocre, complacent existence. They wanted to break old structures and assumptions. The author shows the way the women dissatisfaction with NOW movement since it was only pursuing legal and judicial reforms instead of total transformation. There were challenges however to this notion of identity politics. It could lead to self-absorption and the woman would not help others. Thus there were calls for collective action as opposed to singular action. The women engaged in conscious-raising, a practice where the women engaged in deep talks about their tough experiences. Through it all the author is able to show the struggles that marked the achievements of the feminists. Sources of the Second Wave: The Rebirth of Feminism The author traces the causes or activators of the feminist revolution in the period 1950-1960’s. She highlights the causes as the spirit of protest that was prevalent at that time, the Black movement and the ability of the women to organise themselves. He shows us the rapid progress made by women feminists from the period 1950-1970’s. At the time the women had been confined to a domesticated role which they wanted to break out. The author highlights vice president Nixon and the Soviet Premier arguing in the kitchen how they wished their discussions were on matters of the washing machine and not rockets. The author shows that the discrimination in the workplace and societal expectation on the woman’s role in the 1960 led to the women getting a platform to fight for their rights strategically. In the labour forces, the pay structures were unequal, men getting higher pay than women for the same kind of work. Law companies refuse to employ women even though they were at the top of their class in campus. The writer shows second catalyst of the feminist movement as the Blacks civil movement. He backs his argume
Analysis of Sources It is important for human resources and firms operating in different cultural background to engage in training to enable them have a competitive edge over others because training helps employee to appreciate and respect the cultural values of other people (Coget 2011, p.85). This stands out as the key message in Coget’s article “Does National Culture Affect Firm Investment in Training and Development?” Coget is an associate professor of management in the Orfalae College of business and California polytechnic state university. The methodology used in gathering this information on the study area involved surveys carried out by Hilla Perezet from Ort Braude college, Israel. An approximate of 6000 firms was surveyed in 21 different countries. The study’s findings indicated that cultural differences influence whether the firm invests in training or not. Firms in countries with low power distance, high uncertainty avoidance, and higher future orientation invest more in training of their employees compared to those operating or embracing higher power distance, low future orientation, and low uncertainty avoidance. Power degrees is the degree to which member of a certain group expect that power should be distributed equally. Written by Shiryan, Shee, and Stewart, the article ‘Employee Training Effectiveness in Saudi Arabian SME Performance’ is a must-read composition that finds out the relationship between employee training and organisation’s performance. The three authors are based in the school of management and information systems faculty of business and law in Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. They affirm that employee training is critical if an organisation aspires to achieve its objectives. They based their study in Saudi Arabia where they collected data through surveys. 500 questionnaires were sent to managers and staffs of various SMEs. An estimate of 264 questionnaires was returned for analysis. The findings showed that most of the firms and SME managers in Saudi Arabia in the firms lack skills on training (Shiryan, Shee, & Stewart 2012, p.52). They do not understand the essence of training. Management training is essential in staff training since good leadership and change management can
In the history of World War II, a central characteristic feature of the kind of war effort that Germany undertook is often discussed which is concerned with the prolonged war effort by the nation that continued until May 1945. The Nazi rule in Germany had a significant role in the long-drawn effort of the nation to fight for victory in World War II. In an analysis of the war strategy adopted by Germany for the ultimate victory in the War, it will be seen that the Nazi leadership and its ideology had a great impact on the soldiers as well as the war efforts. One of the most remarkable aspects of the German war efforts has been that it kept going until May 1945 when it surrendered to the pressures of the Allied force. It is often questioned why the force did not make a surrender when it began to feel the ultimate failure. An investigation into this pertinent question based on German history and its participation in World War II makes it clear that the Nazi rule has had such an important effect on the lives of the people as well as the policies of the government. Therefore, in an understanding of the impact of the Nazi rule and leadership on the people, it is pertinent to deal with the question of why the German war effort continued until May 1945. The wider understanding of the various aspects of the German participation in the War also necessitates the analysis of the effect of Allied bombing on German morale, cohesion, and resistance and the reasons for the little resonance in the people on the plot to kill Hitler in July 1944. It is also important, in this background, to comprehend the driving force behind ordinary German civilians and soldiers in persisting to follow the orders of the regime until April-May 1945, the reason for no German revolution taking place in 1945 following the failure of the country in the war, the role of the Holocaust in intensifying German resistance, the reasons for the destructiveness of the regime to continue until the end, and the reasons for the salvage of the home front from a collapse in the war. Such a profound investigation makes it clear that the impact of the Nazi regime had been such that the civilians and the soldiers were greatly confident and trustful in the regime and its teachings. Therefore, the Nazi history, together with Hitler’s rise to power, his establishment of a dictatorship, the persecution of the Jews culminating in the Holocaust, and Germany’s commencement of World War II can provide a clear understanding of the issue. The Nazi regime had a great influence on the civilians and from the time when Hitler came to be appointed the chancellor of Germany in 193. More importantly, the party’s program which was announced in 1920was followed greatly all through its activities. This had great relevance to the policies of the nation which were strictly followed by the civilians. Of the twenty-five points in the program, the following five had immense value to the nation’s development. “We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany, on the basis of the right of a self-determination of peoples. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other
Factors are contributing to the internationalization of accounting Accounting is practiced across the globe. There are a number of reasons that facilitate the internationalization of accounting. First is the advancement of information technology. The Internet makes the globe a one-stop market. Therefore, accounting should be internationalized to enhance trade. The second reason is the rise in multinational companies. Domestic companies are making entries into foreign markets. These markets are in different jurisdictions and apply different accounting principles. Thirdly, the rise of global competition creates the need for the internationalization of accounting. This facilitates the comparison of financial records. Fourth, there is an increase in the number of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. The use of common accounting principles makes mergers and acquisitions easy. Fifth, the internationalization of capital markets requires that accounting also be internationalized. This is because internationally traded financial assets end up in the books of accounts. The sixth reason is the advancement in financial innovation. New financial products are being introduced in the market. This creates the need for the internationalization of accounting. Global capital markets The global capital market is a platform where international financial instruments are traded. This market helps in raising long-term finances for companies. These securities are either debt or equity. Some of the financial instruments traded in the market are stocks, bonds (such as GDR, ADR and EURO bonds), debentures, treasury bills, foreign exchange, and fixed deposits. The global capital market allows companies to raise large sums of capital required easily. Secondly, it gives companies international recognition. Finally, global capital markets enable companies to overcome restrictions imposed in domestic markets. Factors that influence accounting development Some of the factors that influence the development of accounting are sources of finance, legal system, taxations, inflation, political and economic ties, education level, and level of economic development of a country. These factors directly affect the development of the accounting of a country. A country with a favorable legal system, taxation laws, low rates of inflation, strong political ties, and a high level of education is likely to develop in accounting easily. Cultural values Culture brings about institutional arrangements in a country. These arrangements affect accounting development. Individualism, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance are the key cultural determinants of accounting development. Countries with weak uncertainty avoidance, small power distance and individualism have strong accounting professions. In such countries, accountants rely on professional judgment. Also, capital markets are the main sources of finances. From this, we can deduce that cultural value is central to the development of accounting. This is concurrent with the factors named above. It is also evident that the cultural values of countries explain the national difference in
Situational Analysis Steps for Undergoing Situational Analysis The first step is to determine a framework. This means that the obtained information will be presented coherently. There are several frameworks Rashid Hospital administration may choose from. In most cases, the existing frameworks can be easily adapted to the specific needs of the organization. The current framework will include a possibility to make comparisons with other hospitals located in Dubai. Moreover, the framework is expected to highlight the exclusive feature of the fall prevention plan that is implemented within the framework of this paper. The second step is to categorize the data that is already available to Rashid Hospital. The administration is responsible for storing all the sources of information and all the available data. This means that the available data will be analyzed and structured by the staff. The administration at Rashid Hospital believes that the statistics that were collected during the previous stage will be efficiently used throughout the time frame after the implementation of the fall prevention plan. The administration is aware of the fact that the collected information may be irrelevant or inaccurate, so the managers are used to going through the process of analyzing the obtained information and scrutinizing the latter to eliminate any inaccuracies. The third step is presented by the process of identifying the information that is still mandatory to implement the fall prevention plan successfully. During the process of collecting the data, no significant gaps were identified. At this point, the administration of Rashid Hospital developed a set of genuine objectives related to the novel fall prevention plan. The most important thing during this step was that the staff at Rashid Hospital collected only practical data and did not wait for a perfect opportunity to publish the composed plan. The fourth step is related to the collection of supplementary data. Moreover, it was intended to help the nurses and other staff better comprehend the key objectives of the newly developed and published fall prevention plan. The plan was distributed to the appropriate personnel, and the timeframe was specified. During the fifth and sixth steps, the administration of Rashid Hospital compiled the final report and distributed it respectively. It was updated promptly to reflect only relevant and conversant data. The obtained data regarding the efficiency of the new fall prevention plan was shared will all the staff, and then feedback was collected. Elements of the Internal Environment The key element of the internal environment that was taken into consideration by the researcher is the managerial resource-based factor related to management. This aspect includes the nurses’ willingness to provide high-quality care and be a passionate health care provider. A supporting role, in this case, was given to the managerial decision-making process as the nurses’ readiness to provide eminent health care service utterly depended on the leadership style employed at Rashid Hospital. Strengths and Weaknesses of the Competitors The k
Introduction America has had a history of civil wars and wars with other nations since the arrival of the first immigrant on that soil. Although it now enjoys great wealth and the pride of being the superpower, credit to revolutionary leaders like Abraham Lincoln who suppressed civil wars in his country, among others. This paper will attempt to discuss a time in America’s history (1865) when a peace deal was signed in McLean’s first-floor room at Appomattox courthouse Village, to put an end to the bloodiest of civil wars in the United States of America. Surrender at Appomattox By the year 1865, the last of the four-year civil war between the south and the northern states, General Grant had inflicted serious damage to the Northern Virginian army. He wanted them to surrender and stop bloodletting which was the order of the day. The south had wanted to break away from the country, mainly due to their slavery institution which was opposed by the northern states. This led to conflict bringing the two commanders against each other. General Lee appeared reluctant to surrender to General Grant since he had no idea of the terms that would be given to him by Grant. He also did not want to show his weakness or hopelessness, as had been referred to in Grant’s first letter addressed to him on the 7 th of April, 1865. It would have been a maj
Introduction Over the past decades, the idea of health has been modified drastically in terms of its most significant constituents. If previously health was directly associated with the absence of illness, today’s interpretation of the notion is more associated with one’s lifestyle and daily routine. Hence, one of the most crucial parts of the process of quality health care intervention is the determination of social determinants of health (SDOH). The term stands for a combination of external factors that tend to impact a person’s well-being, including socio-economic status, physical environment, literacy, community, and health care system (Palmer, Ismond, Rodriquez, & Kaufman, 2019). The primary goal of the present paper is to conduct the evaluation of the family’s SDOH in order to develop a quality care plan and health promotion options. Social Determinants of Health Considering the family’s lifestyle and overall environment, it may seem that the setting itself has practically no issues in the context of SDOH. However, when analyzing all the determinant segments, the following areas of weakness may be outlined:   * Economic stability: income. Since the father changed his employment, the average income patterns changed drastically. If previously, he received monthly payments on a regular basis regardless of the amount of work done, his current position as a freelance business consultant is rather uncertain. As a result, the family is no longer sure of economic stability within the family.   * Community and social context: social integration and stress. Both the children and the parents have enormous stress levels that disrupt their physical and mental well-being, along with the relationship within the family. Moreover, the girls experience issues with social integration due to their current environment. The younger daughter has just started high school, so she tries to make sure she belongs to the community, whereas the older daughter does her best to obtain authority and respect among fellow college students. The following issues lead to intense deterioration of mental health, which may eventually result in health status disruptions and functioning limitations. Screening Recommendations Regarding the fact that the family members have no explicit health conditions that need to be managed, the list of recommended screenings has a purely preventative nature. Researchers claim that similar situations require medical intervention in order to make sure the patients realize the potential benefits of preventive screening and drawbacks of the recommendation ignorance (Lang et al., 2018). Hence, considering the history of f
Introduction Jean Racine was a noble French dramatist and a poet in the 17 century and has written a number of plays in which one of them is Phedre. Racine plays are very appealing to watch although they have aspects of pessimism and immorality. The Phedre has received many feminists’ criticisms stating that the play is depicting women as mere sexual bodies, emotionally weak and dangerous in their lust for love. Phedre is the main actor depicting the themes of passion and jealousy for love in the play. The drama revolves around the lust for love by the characters leading to the main conflicts in the drama. Phedre find herself in the crossroads: she is married to her sister’s ex-husband, Theseus, and she has a great passion for her stepson, Hippolytus. The lustful feelings of love overwhelm Phedre to the point where she become very jealous of her stepson, and falsely accused him of raping her because he rejected her demands. When Theseus heard about the bad news, he petition god of Neptune to punish Hippolytus. Hippolytus eventually died when he fell out of frightened chariots by the monster in the sea. Phedre also frustrated her nurse, Oenone, causing her to commit suicide by drowning into the ocean. The deaths of Hippolytus and Oenone caused Phedre to confess her guilty and commit suicide (Racine 2-3). Although the Phedre is depicting reality, feminists have heaped lots of criticism on the way women are portrayed as immoral, jealous, emotionally weak and quite dangerous in their passion for love. Sex and Gender Feminists’ theorists distinguish sex from gender and refute claims that sexes denote social perceptions to women. Phe
