Introduction Organization Description Nana children home is a non-profit organization with a goal to provide for needy children. They offer God’s love and heal children for the sake of their security, safety and life. The incorporated children in this organization are needy, abused or neglected before the age of eighteen years. The organization is located at Malabar in Florida. It relies on worldwide well wishers for provision to the children. Consequently, they have extended their reach among the continents including Australia. It relies on various advertisement strategies that facilitate their effect to most countries. Its funds arise from fundraising (40%), businesses/individuals (35%) and churches (25%) ( Nana House 2007). Advertisements The systems applied by Nana Children’s Home management have been advanced by technology. They are able to reach their donors through websites, social media, newsletters, inquiries, public meeting, television and radio. These factors have facilitated the development of the organization into achieving the goals. Social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, have managed to create a network that allows contribution from potential donors. Apparently, they have made the system easier to manage and reach many people simultaneously than in the previous times. The trend of advertisement applies high effort behaviour by applying various advertisement strategies. In fact, if they do not reach their donors, it is probable to close the organization due to lack of funds. Therefore, they spread their operations and request for funding through high effort advertisements. The main issues of advertisement involve funding, parent responsibility to children, seminars and fundraising events. Their advertisement websites have options for online donations that facilitate worldwide reach. This website has been advertised to other websites for connection purposes. Apart from the social media, the website has integrated with other websites that fight children abuse and neglect. Events are held to talk about and discourage communities from some issues. For instance, on 2 nd and 3 rd April 2013, the organisation arranged an occasion to pronounce their urge on child abuse prevention. Analysis Exposure to the Advertisement There are multidimensional strategies of exposure. The technological methods allow more exposures to many people than the traditional media strategies (Sandhusen 2000). Social sites have made a divergent and explicit interaction with people. Therefore, people are able to get advertisements and information easily. This may happen through sharing of the website with friends and other people. Another way of exposure is
Integrating faith and learning is a common practice in religious institutions. Faith and learning are intertwined such that when learning occurs without faith, knowledge is limited. Therefore, it is imperative for people to integrate the two to achieve greater knowledge. One area of learning that integrates scripture is marketing management. The bible contains verses that address human attributes that are required in organizational marketing management. Kotter and Keller (2012) provide that marketing management is the process of formulating and organizing marketing strategies to control the organizational activities as well as allocate the marketing resources. Character is a human attribute that is addressed by many Bible verses. For instance, the book of Mathew 7: 12 states that “therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them, for this is the law and prophets.” It is clear from the verse that good character entails treating people well in all aspects of life. In marketing management, entrepreneurs ought to give customers reasonable prices, satisfaction, and good customer care so that they can receive revenues or sales from the customers. This is a simple marketing principle that comes with success when utilized optimally. Customers need constant attention to remain faithful and loyal to the business. Thus, marketers or businesses should handle their customers with respect so that they can develop a sense of belonging to the business, and hence become regular customers (Patterson, 2008). Supplying the customers with valuable products and services naturally compels them to pay promptly and remain loyal to the business. In fact, this bible verse offers a golden rule, do good to your customers so that they will reciprocate in the same measure to the business. This is the reason organizations with character perform better in the long run even though they begin slowly. Organizational reputation is better that profits gained in a short while. Marketing tempts marketers to lie over the quality of the product or satisfaction the customers will get if they buy the product (Patterson, 2008). This occurs when competition is stiff. However, the bible rebukes deceit as it brings self-destruction. For instance, the book of 1Peter 3: 10 states that “for the person who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.” For an organization to live long and enjoy constant income and profits, it must not lie to its customers over the products or services they offer. Deceit eventually destroys the business because if consumers discover that the products or services do not offer them 100% satisfaction as they were promised, they will not buy them next time. However, if the business delivers the value it promises without deceit, it is likely to build its reputation and benefit longer from the profits and constant income from the returning customers. According to Kotler and Keller (2012), releasing products or servic
In “Love Among the Ruins”, Browning compares the past with the present giving love more weight than material things through the persona that he creates. In this poem, Browning creates rhyme through paring long trochaic lines with short sentences often made of only three words. The persona compares what he is seeing at that particular time which is a pasture in the ruins where sheep are grazing to what used to be there; a great city led by a superior king. Browning emphasizes giving a detailed picture of the city using figurative language, which makes the poem more engaging and memorable. This aspect of the poem makes it stand out in that the reader identifies with the situations described. For instance, “When the king looked, where she looks now, breathless, dumb” (Browning line 59) a line that elicits more imagination from the reader to be able to identify with the environment being described. This poem together is one of the works by Browning that would qualify him to be regarded as the quintessential poet of the Victorian times. Works Cited Browning, Robert .

The term ‘business’ can be understood as a commercial, industrial, or professional activity that implies the production of goods or services for selling and receiving something in return in the form of profit. Van Duzer (2012), in one of the Gospel and Culture Lecture series, talks about the connection between God and business and the importance of recognizing the business as a part of God’s creation. He gives an example of Adam, to whom God gifted Eve for the purpose of establishing a relationship between two and producing offspring (Van Duzer, 2012). Van Duzer (2012) describes it as a prototype for the modern business model where several agents are involved in a relationship for the sake of engaging in meaningful work. Moreover, the work in the bond implies the existence of benefit that Adam and Eve receive for their efforts, which solidifies the analogy between the biblical pair and the concept of business. This unique business model of Adam and Eve demonstrates the essentiality of the concept of business to the Christian world. Van Duzer (2012) emphasizes that productivity can only be achieved through the relationship between Adam and Eve and not Adam and another Adam. Despite a slightly prejudiced sentiment, there is an assumption that the speaker used this analogy to express the difference between the contributors to the business. In other words, Adam and Eve possess different qualities, which amplify the mutual benefit of their collaborative work. Baye and Prince (2017) discuss the importance of understanding the qualitative and quantitative measures to ensure the venture’s profitability, reflecting Van Duzer’s arguments about the significance of the comprehensive look on business. Therefore, quantitative aspects of demand analysis, such as price, income, and cross-price elasticities of demand, represent one person from the biblical couple, while qualitative aspects represent the other. In conclusion, the mutually beneficial relationship of Adam and Eve can be described as a prototype to the modern understanding of business. Therefore, business is just as natural as any other activity on earth, up to the complicated mathematical tools such as qualitative and quantitative techniques to measure demand. It implies that business is expected to be run ethically and with the purpose of serving God and other people. Thank you for your discussion post, Joshua! I agree with all of your points, especially about the importance of operating a business ethically. You have mentioned that the structure of an organization should offer benefits for both ends. I agree because by adapting environmentally ethical policies, a company’s profitability increases. According to Park et al. (2017), corporate responsibility increases customer loyalty, whi
Abortion should be made allowed and made legal unless the procedure will prove harmful for the mother. Three of the most common reasons why women choose abortion is that they do not have the financial resources to raise a child, the others feel that they are not ready to have a child, and others feel that they will not be able to handle the change in their life brought on by a baby. Nearly 58% of the women gave one of these reasons for choosing abortion. This figure is supported by the fact that the majority of women choosing abortion is unmarried, under the age of 25 and are economically backward. Forcing such mothers who are so reluctant to have and raise children or sending those children to an already overburdened Childcare system seems wrong. People who are anti-abortion believe that it equates to murder. For them it is illogical that the 50 states in America have legalized abortion but murder is a crime. However the question is where do you recognize life as beginning. Those sates which have legalized abortion obviously recognize it life beginning at birth and not at conception. I think before the birth of a child this question is not a legal one but a spiritual or moral one. Nobody should be allowed to make your spiritual decisions for you. A number of people who are so strongly anti-choice have not had the experience of becoming unexpectedly pregnant or their partner becoming unexpectedly pregnant. ‘”I’ve had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, ‘You’re not going to tell them, are you!?’ When assured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn’t want this to interfere with it.” (Physician, Texas) ’(Anti-Choice Women Who Have) It is important to note that only 1.4% of procedures are done after 20 weeks. Must Dilation and Extractions procedures which are described in great detail by pro-life activists are done because the mothers life is being seriously risked or when the fetus is malformed. This is because of moral and legal restrictions. Some believe that euthanasia is a result of the legalization of abortion. I believe that euthanasia is an issue on its own with its own arguments and debates. It is really not fair to blame legalized abortion for the: ‘We said it would lead to euthanasia, and they laughed at us. And so, 25 years later it’s leading to euthanasia….. We await its long-term outcome, but this is no longer a distant threat, and the relation of abortion to euthanasia is increasingly apparent to many people.’ (Wilke C.J).

Opportunity According to Schwimmer et al (2003, p. 1814), the number of people suffering from fitness related illnesses has increased. A large number of them have been advised to engage in fitness activities. The cost of treating the illnesses is high and can be prevented. More and more people have gained interest in fitness activities. Singh and McMahan (2006, p. 209) argue that people are likely to perform well if they engage in fitness activities. People who are likely to join are young adults and the working class. Others who are likely to use the facilities are the residents.

The difference between surface and deep culture in children Early childhood development and education are two important branches with the help of which teachers can comprehend the needs and abilities of children. Many issues have to be considered by educators, and the difference between surface culture and deep culture is one of the crucial concepts. Culture aims at providing a general framework for people’s perceptions of the world (Holtzman & Sharpe, 2014). It can be divided into superficial and deep. Holtzman and Sharpe (2014) offer to think of culture as a tree where surface culture is the above-ground part, and deep culture is the root. Surface culture is everything that could be easily visible and accepted. The best examples are music, food, language, and clothes. Deep culture includes less observable issues such as human beliefs, traditions, and values. To introduce competent and tolerant children means to teach them both levels of culture. It is not enough to learn and comprehend the norms. It is also important to realize why these norms are crucial, and what beliefs are transferred through these norms. Influence of cultural contexts on the social-emotional and cognitive domains of child development Nowadays, many cultural contexts have a certain impact on the social-emotional and cognitive domains of child development. Cognitive and socio-emotional domains are crucial in positive caregiving (Bornstein & Putnick, 2012). Therefore, mothers, as the main caregivers, have to understand what activities are more important for them and for their children regarding the peculiar features of the society they have to live in. There are many mothers, who believe that they have to play with their children and take them outside regularly. At the same time, the same mothers do not find such activities and reading or singing to their children obligatory in caregiving. However, even reading to children and storytelling may vary considerably within cultures (Bornstein & Putnick, 2012). For example, in such countries as the USA and China, technological progress cannot be neglected. As a result, people forget about such simple activities as reading and talking to children. They believe that it is enough to turn on the TV or use audiobooks to meet children’s needs. As for socio-cognitive domains, the cultural contexts play an important role because there are many American and British families where mothers hire babysitters and deprive themselves of direct communication with their children. In Japan, parents support the idea of independence and make their children do a lot of things alone. As a result, children do not accept their parents they way they have to but consider their nannies as the main sources of their social and emotional development. Classroom strategies that can foster the development of dual-language learners In modern American society, the number of dual-language learners increases considerably every year (Smith & Doggett, 2016). Children from
Summary Of Theory Of Victimization The victim precipitation theory states that some people are more prone to initiating or causing confrontation than others. Such kind of precipitation could either be passive or active. According to Siegel (2006), passive precipitation happens when the victim’s personality appear to unconsciously intimidate or encourage the attacker. Passive precipitation might also happen when two individuals are competing for similar goals, such as love or a job promotion. Passive precipitation mainly occur due to the need for power and for this reason, economic power curtails the risk of victimization as noted by Siegel (2006). This type of victim precipitation is normally driven by the social conflict theory which states that human behavior is largely shaped by interpersonal conflict (Siegel & Worrall, 2013). A good example of passive precipitation that is worth of exploration is the murder of Erika Yancey at Fairfax. The murder was the result of an “unconventional” love triangle (Jackman, 2010) in which the victim was murdered because she posed a threat to the attacker. On the other hand, active precipitation happens when the victim exhibits provocative actions in the eyes of the attacker. Some of the provocative actions that could lead to active precipitation include simple attacks, fighting, use of vulgar language, and acting in a manner that is likely to provoke the other person. An example of active precipitation is rape (Siegel, 2006). According to proponents of active precipitation, most rape cases are associated with the victim’s mode of dressing. For example, when a woman is dressed provocatively, this increases the likelihood of her being raped. Siegel (2006) has noted that most rape cases have forced courts to present not guilty verdicts because the victim may have acted in a manner that seemed to suggest that they consented to havi
Communication is a prerequisite for organizational success. If communication in an organization has mistakes, the organization could suffer substantial losses due to wastage of valuable resources such as time, goodwill, employee efforts etcetera. Business communication is among the most dynamic forms of communication due to the mere fact that businesses are aimed at profit maximization, and any change towards more effective communication would make a business achieve this goal. In the contemporary society, businesses are changing their forms of communication to keep in pace with changes in technology. I have personally experienced and witnessed most of the contemporary trends in business communication in my workplace. Communication is particularly crucial in the day-to-day running of a business. The need for effective communication in the day-to-day running of a business is due to the fact that a business may have a number of workers and clients who will need specific information at certain times in order for them to play their roles in the business. In order to work on something during the day-to-day running of a business, stakeholders need to be involved in decision making and action taking. This need will necessitate that these people be informed of a meeting in advance so that they plan for the meeting. The stakeholders will, in most cases, be separated by space and thus the achievement of effective communication will prove to be difficult without the use of reliable communication tools. Thus effective and reliable tools such as email or text messaging to convene the meeting will be necessary. Some tools of communication are also critical in the running of the day-to-day activities of an organization because they provide evidence of transactions (Bates, 2010, p. 1). For instance, correspondences between an organization and a customer could be used as an evidence of a transaction in case a misunderstanding arises. Communication is also important in the day-to-day running of a business because it ensures that employees’ efforts are properly coordinated. This results in effectiveness of the operations of the business because there will be no cases of duplications and repetitions. In the rec
