Executive Summary The purpose of this study is to develop a program implementation strategy for the Prince Muhammad bin Fahd University (PMU) to use to expand existing programs and successfully implement new programs, which are to be offered in English for both make and females students to make the university an international center of academic excellence, research and innovation. An analysis of the current situation, which forms part of the strategic management process, shows that the university offers programs in English for male students only, which reinforces the need to offer the programs in English for female students. The strategy implementation process revealed that the university has some of the most modern facilities for learning and is in the process of introducing a wide variety of programs to accommodate new students from different parts of the world, to offer them the education to prepare them to address emerging challenges in innovation and technology. The university has a management function, which integrates the planning, organizing, motivating, controlling, and staffing functions to ensure there is effective and efficient service delivery and to provide the best resources for the academic programs on offer. An assessment of the university’s external and internal environments based on the economic trends of the country shows that most households have a sustainable income to support the students to complete their courses. A SWOT analysis shows that the university has modern facilities and offers various programs in English. To overcome the issues raised in the study, it was recommended that the university aligns its program implementation approaches to its mission and vision statements by integrating the strategic management concepts with the strategic objectives. PMU Description Introduction Prince Muhammad bin Fahd University (PMU) is one of the most modern universities in Saudi Arabia, which has some of the modern facilities for facilitating the provision of high-quality education programs in Saudi Arabia ( PMU, 2014). The core purpose of the university was to offer programs in different schools of learning to meet the rising demand for university education, to equip students with high-quality skills and knowledge to professionally address new and emerging challenges in the modern society ( PMU,
The onset of the politically instigated violence in my country meant that circumstances had taken a turn for the worst. The future seemed bleaker for me and scores of others who had now been left in this world with minimal hope to hang onto. I acknowledged that life had to be redefined. I had to carry the tag of a refugee, a position that came with immense challenges especially being in a foreign country called Kenya. Xenophobia was the first significant challenge that I encountered in my new status, in society. Kenya is a nation with predominantly distinct people, being a foreigner does not make circumstances better. After traveling for a significant period, I arrived at the refugee camp called………………. The patches of my country men gave me some sense of belonging. However, the natives had deeply rooted xenophobic feelings and were so spiteful of the foreigners. This position could not do any better in curbing the nostalgic feelings that were taking a toll on me. Life was steadily becoming unbearable due to the feelings pertaining to negativity. A chronic shortage of food characterizes life in the camps, the over 50,000 refugees depended on the irregular hand outs from the UNHCR, Red Cross and other well wishers. The food rations are, however, so little and are not balanced. I was once struck by a bout of malnutrition and longing for a good meal. The situation is even worse for children, women and the sick because they can not fight for food with the strong refugees. The limited or absence of water supply does not make life interesting in the camp. Most camps are hardship areas and lie close to the desert and other arid areas, thus water scarcity becomes a key challenge. The water supplied by the Red Cross and UNHCR is hardly enough to cook, leave alone bathing or washing clothes. Life then becomes complicated as the sun scorches consequently making life uncomfortable. This is because Kenya lies in the tropical region. This is coupled with food shortage consequently resulting in frequent cases of human dehydration and starvation. Inadequacy of healthcare services is another grave challenge that I faced in the camp. Medical staff as illustrated by the nurse and doctor is rarely available at the camp. We had to depend on mobile clinics that did rounds in the camp at irregular levels. The drugs presented were questionable since they did little to alleviate the pain I was experiencing. These conditions led to unwarranted deaths that could easily be prevented had there been proper medical care. It is noteworthy that malaria is an ailment that was common in the camps. I remember my dear friend Said undergoing medical tribulations due to poor attention by the therapeutic personnel. The frequent tribal clashes in the neighborhood could not make life any better in the refugee camp. At some point, I even thought their major economic activity was cattle rustling due to the frequency in which such activities occurred. This made numbers in the camp increase since the locals became internally displaced and moved to the camp. That served to furth
Reading aloud with children establishes a special connection between the child and the parent. Reading creates a unique atmosphere that can be associated by the child as something safe, something that can help them talk to their parent through stories from books. Keisha Siriboe claims that reading is a kind of bridge from the present to the future (“Why we all need to start reading aloud to our kids”, 10:55-11:00). Thus, it is necessary to actively instill in children the desire to read aloud with their parents. These videos are comparable to the information from the textbook about that every child needs the help and support of parents. It is imperative to engage in a child’s upbringing from childhood to strive to make their life happy. Anything that can cause a child moral trauma, make them unhappy, becomes a big problem in the future, which may require the intervention of a psychologist. The most important information from the video is that adults need to pay attention to themselves before raising children. Moreover, it is necessary to learn how to settle conflicts, and how to say to say “no” when it is necessary. It is essential to have a sense of harmony, integrity and eliminate the feeling of inferiority. In addition, it is not advisable to put pressure on the decisions made by children. It is necessary to allow them to be independent and learn by trial and error to realize positive and negative life situations. The significance of this research is that reading is one of the most important subjects that contribute to mental development. It is necessary to teach children to read from childhood so that their brain thrives. It is essential to start with reading aloud and then move on to independent reading. Reading affects not only mental development but also affects people’s feelings and emotions. People get a considerable experience reading books, which later has an impact on their whole life. Emotional intelligence is an integral part of every person’s daily life. I need emotional intelligence in any situation involving me and some other person or people. For example, there are cases when the situation begins to take a negative turn and transforms into a conflict, In this circumstance, it is vital to minimize the situation in which the conflict will occur. Thanks to emotional intelligence, I can turn the problem in a direction that will exclude the possibility of a quarrel.

Discuss the ways in which Louis XIV’s personal rule influenced art and architecture all over Europe Louis XIV believed that the worship of the Sun King required a vast temple to assemble all officials and the faithful. His influence over art and architecture spread all over Europe. He built a temple as a supreme expression of the absolute monarch. His constructions became the most impressive accomplishments of the art, integrating painting, architecture, furniture, and sculpture. Louis XIV invested enormous funds into construction because he believed that the residences of royal and noble families have to reflect wealth and power. Rebuilding, expansion, and beautification of the royal palaces and temples went on year after year. Marly, his summer residence, was surrounded by fountains and greenery. Louis XIV was blamed for excessive construction because the costs consumed 5% of the annual budget. However, the temples and palaces built by Louis XIV gave a powerful spur to the arts in France as well as in Europe. Summarize the methods Colbert used to increase the king’s wealth. Discuss their effects both in the short term and at the end of Louis XIV’s long reign Colbert was recommended to the king by Mazarin. The first service of Colbert was to make the king aware of the corruption of the Superintendent of Finances. Colbert was named Controller General of Finances. Colbert had a passion for work, a clear mind, and an absolute dedication to the king and France. He was the one to introduce rigorous accounting methods that permitted income and expenses to be traced month by month and introduced the annual budget. The special chamber was established to prosecute financiers who enriched themselves dishonestly. He reduced the income tax and weighted indirect taxes on everyone. After the death of Colbert, the budget deficits reappeared. As the result, the king increased existing taxes and added two new. New methods to raise money were introduced: loans, lotteries, the sale of new officers, and currency manipulation. These were the effects of Colbert’s theory. Although an orthodox Catholic, Louis XIV was often in conflict with the Papacy. Explain Customs permitted the king to fill vacant offices in the diocese until the new bishop was appointed (regalian rights). However, these rights were not applied to sixty dioceses and the king decided to put an end to this exemption. With the support of the nobility, the king asked the clergy to back the rights against the church claims. The assembly resulted in four rules: the kings are not subjects to ecclesiastical authority, the pope’s authority in spiritual matters cannot annul the universal councils, the regalian rights remain inviolable, and the pope’s judgment is faith matters becomes reversible. These rules laid the foundation of the conflict between the king and the pope. The king has limited the power and authority to faith matters only and the pope was not willing to lose his power over the political and economic affairs of France. As the defender of Catholic
We all know that the danger posed by the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is palpable in our current time. But what is literally done to help ease the pain and misery of the victims of this global pandemic? Stephen Lewis’ Race Against Time (2006) is an enlightening book that gives personal-yet-factual accounts about the AIDS epidemic that threatens the African continent. Inarguably, the book takes a critical stance towards how HIV/AIDS is dealt with by agencies in Africa, but it still maintains a hopeful, practical and inspiring outlook about the current situation. Coupled with Lewis’ experiences, he lamented the grief he has seen and noted that we all need to join hands to curb this epidemic with a strong sense of urgency. Serving as a part-time Canadian envoy of United Nations UN in Africa, Lewis puts on the forefront the historical context of HIV/AIDS predicament in Africa. He argued that the developed world should hold unswerving responsibility of the HIV pandemic in Africa. As Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations, Lewis did not shy away, as most politicians do, from admitting the Canadian sponsorship scandal and its link to HIV. Lewis recounts how, in 2000, global leaders agreed to eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG), promising the poor such essentials as primary education, basic health and a reversal of AIDS by 2015. He revealed why and how the promises were not kept. Lewis points out that, “HIV/AIDS has sabotaged all of the socioeconomic indices, and the continued damaging western policies in trade and aid and debt, serve to drive the nails into the coffins” (p. 17). Not sounding too preachy about all the faults made by previous HIV/AIDS programs, Lewis sets an example of constructive criticism when he criticizes the heartland of multilateralism, the United Nations. He explained, “I am not an apologist, but I am certainly a devotee” (p.x). Lewis asserted that his criticism is because of his care and fulfillment of the UN. He believed that it is out of his ethical responsibility that he must point out how the “UN is failing and to suggest constructive alternatives” (p. xii). He argues that his constructive criticism is “a mark of a true loyalist and honest perspective” (p.xii). Taken in a perspective of a privileged white humanitarian envoy, Lewis revealed an insider’s account of Africa’s plight and the developed world’s incapacity to assist the ill-fated continent. Furthermore, Lewis’ book does not only tackle the appalling gap between the UN vision and reality, but also offers attainable solutions. He said that Western nations should not give lip service to equity and social justice only within their own borders. Although these nations acknowledge that there are 40 million people infected with HIV/AIDS worldwide (26 million in Africa), mainly young women, the developed rich countries
Understanding Exigence Rapid economic development and its implications for the environment are the motivation for this paper. While economic sustainability is significant for battling global poverty, its impact on the environment raises concerns in terms of public health and the future of the planet. Humanity needs to take action if it wants to survive. Finding Purpose The goal of the paper is to make people realize that the problem exists, and only immediate action can help humanity avoid irreparable damage to the planet. I want readers to have the same feelings as I do so that the number of people with this concern increases. To achieve this objective, I believe that the combination of expressive and persuasive writing would be relevant. Finding an Appropriate and Effective Genre The purpose of the text is to persuade that with the current course of development, human beings will make the planet uninhabitable. The main message is that immediate action in how we sustain the global economy is required in order to protect the environment while preserving the same state of economic prosperity. The target audience is broad, and the most suitable genre to address this topic is tragedy. Investigating a Topic To investigate the topic, I used discussions and web searches. Conversations with others help identify what aspects of the subject are unknown to other people so that I can focus on these items. On the internet, I looked for statistical information about climate change and various research papers about potential outcomes if no action is undertaken. Developing a Deep Understanding of Topic and Rhetoric Situation Climate change is a complex topic because it affects all organisms, including microbial entities. Humans must take their response to climate change into account when developing sustainable strategies (Cavicchioli et al., 2019). Global warming has implications on livestock, which may indicate that humans will face poverty unless carbon footprint is reduced (Rojas-Downing et al., 2017). Despite such potential disastrous outcomes, it is challenging to inform populations about climate change because of the politicization of this branch of science (Van der Linden et al., 2017). The paper must be written taking this fact into consideration.
Introduction This paper provides a critical analysis of power and Decision making at Queensland Health. This research paper first provides an overview of power and decision making in organizations. The concept of power is demystified i.e. the negative connotations associated with the word are discussed and dispelled. The paper then looks critically into the exercise of power in the Queensland Health case and how the same influences or directs decision making. Based on the analysis, recommendations are made in terms of how to improve power structure in the organization thus improve decision making efficiency and effectiveness. Power in Organizations In often cases, the mention of the word ‘power’ makes individuals think dictatorship, bullying, cruelty, manipulation, lording over others and general unjustified social inequality. It is latently believed or subconsciously held, in many cultures around the world, that power makes individuals exploit, mistreat malign and even enslave others (Clegg et al, 2006, p. 40). It is for this reason that many find the saying “power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely” to be an unchallengeable truth. However, on thinking about it, it should occur to individuals that power in itself is an admirable thing or quality. Each individual has some form of power or capacity within himself (Thomas, 2003, p. 7). Power in itself is not a negative word. The word refers to or is synonymous to authority, influence, clout and control. Having power over others does not mean having lee way to coerce, manipulate and dominate. In the real sense, power only means one has capacity, a talent, a skill, knowledge that others can rely on. Therefore, the individual can provide direction or influence others positively towards a goal. The basic roles of managers in an organization are planning, controlling, organizing or coordination and directing or supervising operations (DuBrin, 2008, p 112).
Martin Luther King is one of the most prominent figures in the history of the United States who had a profound impact on the development of the country. His speeches made many people determined to start or continue fighting for their rights and true justice in the society that claimed to be democratic. For many, those were something bigger than speeches as they were sermons similar to the ones that were uttered almost two thousand years before King (Johnson and Stone 10). Due to the strengths and impact of his ideas, Reverend Martin Luther King is often seen as a prophet of the 1960s. Many people thought that King was an optimist who believed in the rapid change and the reign of equality. However, some researchers argue that the last years of his life were marked by pessimism and the focus on racial discrimination. This paper is aimed at the description of some psychological traits (pessimism and attention to race) of Martin Luther King based on his last sermon. Psychoanalytic Criticism First, it is necessary to note that the psychological analysis of a written piece is an effective way to develop a psychological portrait of a person or single out some characteristic features. Psychoanalytic criticism was a common framework employed to analyze literary works in the 1960s. Benyei states that this paradigm can be an effective tool due to its ability to “bring up close such mechanisms of the human soul” that cannot be examined in other ways (69). Text interpretation is the basic instrument of the psychoanalytic analysis, and the concepts developed by Sigmund Freud are utilized. The famous professor noted that texts had to be analyzed with reference to the author’s life (Benyei 73). It is also possible to explore the environment and major trends that persist in the society. All these factors affect people’s psyche so they can be traced in their works. Pessimistic Prophet Johnson and Stone claim that Martin Luther King was a pessimistic prophet during the last years of his life (13). The authors explain that pessimistic prophecy is deeply rooted in the notion of African American prophetic culture. Johnson and Stone stress that African Americans’ view of the figure of a prophet differs considerably from that of White Americans (12). The role of the Black prophet was to lament and give voice to other people who could hardly express their sorrow and grief. The prophet was to “chronicle the sufferings” of those oppressed (Johnson and Stone 13). King was that kind of leader who chronicled the hardships of the poor, but he still concentrated on the experiences of African Americans even though many believed his effort was colorblind. Pessimism is apparent in his speech as well as his focus on race is. This analysis is b
Introduction Karl Marx was a great German philosopher who lived between 1818 and 1883. Philosophical ideas of Karl Marx revolve around economics, political, and social perspectives of the society. This analytical treatise attempts to explicitly review the philosophical ideas of Karl Marx. Karl Marx’s biography Karl Marx was born in 1818 in the town of Prussian Rhineland. During his college education, Marx became an ardent follower of the thought of Young Hegelians which influenced most his works. His philosophy revolved around human society in the elements of class struggle and socialism. As a journalist, he worked for renowned papers such as the Cologne and the New York Tribune, where his columns attracted both criticism and praise in equal measure. Marx died in 1881. Philosophical ideas of Karl Mark Karl Marx expressed his sentiments on alienation and pain in the lower class workers imprisonment by the private individuals who have the resources to manipulate and twist social, development, and welfare aspects of the masses in the society. Specifically, the views of Karl Marx on the nature of class struggle, causes and responses to these struggles by the masses were drawn from France during the period of 1848 and 1850. In fact, Marx argued that these private individuals are drawn from the bourgeoisies and the ruling elites in the society. The bourgeoisies are thriving in discrimination and exploitation of labor supply to satisfy their selfishness. Since the bourgeoisies are the masters of labor production tools such as wages, this group, comprising of just a small percent of the society, comfortably sits at the apex of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs pyramid and cannot share the huge profits with the actual laborers who are subjected to harsh working conditions to create a surplus for their exploitative bosses (Shimp 17). As observed by Marx, the powerful private individuals influence labor laws processes in any country to suit their private needs which he termed as selfish. Marx described these laws as ‘only good’ when the same meet their opinionated threshold characterized by mere confirmation of their will; which may not necessarily be in line with the will of the underage employees subjected to inhuman work condition with very little and unreasonable pay. Karl Marx further pointed out that the agents of these masses such as labor unions are sometimes compromised to support the selfish course at the expense of the ordinary employees. Marx noted that the exploiters have formalized their definition partial policies in employee welfare and social interaction. The passionate appeals by the exploited proletariats who give ‘free labor’ are ignored by the bias labor policies and internalized corruption among the agents who should regulate these private individuals (Marx 21). Marx’s labor theory of
