Introduction A magazine program refers to the act of passing information to a certain group in written form. The editor has the role of ensuring that the message is communicated to the right group and at the right time so that the message will not be outdated. Information in written form is encouraged in cases where the information is private and has to be passed through a way that the person involved will not feel out of place. This is because some messages require protection in terms of privacy so that not all people have to know about it. The writer should have a clear understanding of such information so that he or she is sure of what has to be communicated. The magazines have advantages over other oral Media because in passing the message one also develops his or her reading skills and therefore it is best for the students so that one knows how to read well and also has a cue to other terminologies that the writer uses. (Jeff, 2000, pp 56) Body One can get the message while traveling unlike the oral Media like radios this is because one can carry the magazine but it is hard to carry something like a radio. The information passed by the magazines is seen to be clearer than that from other Media because one can get further explanations by consulting from friends and other experts. But it has also disadvantages in that it only covers the educated and thus the illiterate do not get the information, therefore, one is always left out and does not know what is taking place in the world around him or her. Not all people will be willing to read the magazines because of the time factor whereby one has no time for resting. The features to include in the magazine program are the pictures and drawings. The pictures will attract the audience in that they will make one willing to read that article and therefore such a person will get the information that is to be passed. Most people are attracted by pictures that are drawn by the editor so that they look appealing to the people and thus such people will not be bored in reading the magazines as such pictures have a certain message that is been conveyed. Pictures such as cartoons look attractive and also funny in that the person having such magazine will be willing to read it further to see what is been passed by this picture. Pictures are mostly used by editors so that they can attract their readers this is because the pictures have a certain message to pass and that is why the editors mostly use them to represent somebody who did something that they want others to know. The drawings that are used by the editor may be pictures of people or animals that have certain information that they convey. Therefore the editor has to make the drawings that will be appealing to the readers so that they will be willing to read the articles and thus end up getting the information. These features fit the audience because one is resting from the day’s work and therefore goes ahead to look at the pictures that have been drawn by the editor and make a conclusion about that picture. The audience will be willing to read the magazine so that he or she can free refreshed and the drawings shou
Introduction Australia has regarded itself as a European country on the edge of Asia but this relative isolation has brought about some considerable problems. For instance, it does not have enough or strong influence in any of the strong regional trade associations which include the European Union (EU) or the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA). Basically, the categorization of Australia as middle power has resulted in a mixture of both anxiety and opportunities. Indeed, the label has been associated with both strength and weakness for Australia (Galligan, Roberts and Trifiletti 2001, p.147). For instance, Australia has used this label to advance its claims in matters of trade with the regional trade blocks; however, operating at the center of the most powerful and the less powerful, Australia’s middle power position has provided it with some benefits of credibility, independence and integrity (Galligan, Roberts and Trifiletti 2001, p.147). These benefits have been realized in international achievements such as; Australia’s diplomacy was the key boost to the success of promoting freer agricultural trade through the Cairns Group as well as mid-wifing a peace-keeping force and free elections in Cambodia (Galligan, Roberts and Trifiletti 2001, p.147). Despite this, the status of being a middle power has some its downside. For instance, the middle power has less power and influence in determining the outcomes that shape the global economic, political, trade or security agenda. Though Australia may succeed in facilitating the setting up of agenda, its main contribution to international affairs may just be confined to providing substitute avenues of conflict resolution for the larger powers. This status has influenced the foreign policy formulation for Australia which in turn has helped in fostering its national and international interest in the world. Therefore, the basis of this paper will be to evaluate Australia’s foreign policy tradition and how such policy tradition can help Australia compensate for its relative lack of power and enhance its international influence while at the same time advance its national interest in the contemporary world. Australia’s foreign pol
Introduction Nursing programs are platforms where faculty and students offer joint care to patients through clinical knowledge. However, faculty incivility acts must be eliminated to avoid jeopardizing the learning process. The article, “Faculty Incivility: Effects on Program Satisfaction of BSN Students”, by Marchiondo, Marchiondo, and Lasister (2010) features primary research based on empirical evidence to offer an overview of nursing education incivility. This article shows that academic incivility is a common problem for college faculties. Due to the lack of satisfactory research on the effects of faculty incivility on the nursing students’ program satisfaction, the authors conducted this study to fill that gap. This paper will conduct a critical review of Marchiondo, Marchiondo, and Lassiter’s article to evaluate its credibility in nursing education. Despite the few limitations in this report, this paper will show that the authors have given comprehensive coverage of nursing research in their report. Review The topic for any research is the key area that determines the essence and direction of the study. The authors of this article made a very relevant and clear choice of topic. From the previous volumes of nursing research, it is evident that very few studies have been accomplished regarding faculty incivility since much of the current research focuses on the students’ incivility. The unique quality of this topic is that it can be applied not only in nursing but also in other health programs. Therefore, the selection of this topic is undeniably unique and accurate especially considering that currently, faculty incivility has been a major stressor to nursing students. In addition, this topic is suitable for all graduate-level programs for both nursing educators and students. This report is concisely presented and grammatically correct from the start to the concluding remarks. Despite this document being nursing material, it is clear and easily understandable for the public and students joining the nursing field. The article uses a wide variety of evidence-based approaches that help to recognize and address incivility in nursing academics and later in practice. Even though the report is short, it is well organized by covering all sections of an academic report in a brief, but sufficient manner. The text is organized in a way that offers in-depth coverage around teaching, learning, and interacting strategies all woven in a brief and understandable way. The purpose of this study is clearly indicated and precisely explored throughout
Sports and sporting activities are an integral part in human life, since they keep us healthy and fit both physically and mentally. Another significant benefit of sports is that, they do play an important role in enhancing social interactions among people of varied cultural tastes who are likely to come together and interact freely through sports activities. These however, are some of the many benefits associated with sports, and are the reasons why many people fancy sports. Personally, I am a great fan of sports, and I like taking sports activities whenever it is possible. Among other reasons, I have always valued sports for two major reasons; first as a hobby and then as something which can help me improve my whole health in various ways. Jogging and in-house gymnastic activities are my favorite sports programs, and in that case, I like going for the perfect sportswear that would enable me achieve my goals in these fields. Among the various sportswear categories in the market today, I have always had a strong liking for Nike products, particularly shoes, not because of their great popularity, but owing to the fact that they have served me better over the years. The main reason why I have decided to evaluate this specific product is because it matters a lot to me and to other people across the world who have been using it for sports activities. For the purpose of this paper, the product would be evaluated in categories of cost, design or use, and durability. The corporate mission for Nike is to emerge as the global leader in fitness and sports gear, particularly footwear. However, the American sportswear company has long achieved this goal, considering the fact that it has retained its position in the world, as a leader innovator and designer in sports footwear. As a matter of fact, this outstanding success of Nike in the global markets can be attributed to the quality of its footwear products and apparel for sports. Today, the company is ranked among the biggest manufacturers and suppliers of sports shoes in the world, and this coupled with their highly valued brands has made Nike a giant among the global businesses in sports gear. Many people allover the world, especially the younger generation, view Nike shoes as a status symbol, and for that reason, they would like to be associated with them. Having known Nike as a company that manufacturers and sells an assortment of high quality sports products, I have always seen them as a better choice for all my sports footwear needs. This however, would range from indoor to outdoor activities. Unlike other popular brands such as Fila, Puma, Reebok, and Adidas, Nike is an American brand and this home advantage increases the products availability in the country, thus making it easily accessible at a fair cost. More importantly, and just what tends to impress many people, Nike brand sports footwear models are designed into various designs to comply with the current developments in fashion as they are ge
Standards and Standardization Standardization is the process that involves the development and implementation of technical standards of a product or service. In most social sciences, standardization is closely related to the amicable solution for coordination problem. This is a situation where all parties are bound to attain mutual gains through making consistent mutual decisions. Ratifying appropriate decisions followed by consistent decisions result in standards. Standardization is an effective tool whose objective is to capture economical and technological development. It constitutes an integral part of the mechanisms and principles that are attributed to market formation. The principles and mechanisms contribute to the optimization of trading organizational activities. Standardization allows rationalization of production through the control of tec
Control mechanisms are utilized by business organizations in order to have successful management of the businesses. The control mechanisms provide an avenue along which the managers move to bring up the level of productivity, boost innovation, and to ensure there are shared values and beliefs in the company. One of the control mechanisms that have been successfully used by the Boeing Company is the “employee incentive programs”. According to Bateman and Snell (2009), “employee incentive programs” are utilized in order to control employee productivity and this is carried out by encouraging the employees and giving them rewards for their hard work. The Boeing Company has taken an initiative to offer rewards as well as incentives to its employees. Among these incentives offered by the company include; “health insurance, vacations, wellness programs, and retirement benefits’ (“Boeing”, 2011). In addition, the company also offers limited legal and financial advice to the employees at without charging them any fee. As a result of the implementation of these programs by the company, the employees have achieved satisfaction and this has made it possible for it to effectively carry out the management functions of organizing and controlling on human capital. It is of great importance for any manager of an organization to raise the level of “employee incentives” and lead. Indeed, those business managers who are effective have also the ability to play the role of leading. The management is offered with precious opportunities by such mechanisms (employee incentives). This control mechanism tool will develop the capability of the manager to have power over the employees and also facilitate the company’s growth. Leading, as a function of management, operates together with employee incentives and this is for the reason that incentive programs give encouragement to the employees in a number of ways. Through these programs, the employees will be in a position to feel appreciated and at the same time, there will be increased motivation among the employees as well as increased productivity. It is quite vital for the management of an organization to make use of this control mechanism at the time it is making an effort to lead and this is because; employees want their great efforts in their work to be rewarded. In essence, working with motivated employees makes it easier for the management to carry out its functions. It will be easier for the management to plan for activities in the organization with an assurance that they will be effectively carried out. More so, controlling, organizing and coordinating of the activities will be effective. This is the reason why the Boeing Company has been successful in its operations through the use of the employee incentive programs as a control mechanism. Therefore, it can be concluded that, all organizations’ management should make use of the control mechanisms. Such control mechanisms as “employee incentive pr
Introduction For the longest time, women have been considered and treated as the weaker sex as compared to their male counterparts. The human race is considered to be the only one in nature where females depend on males for survival (Perkins 2006). The relationship between men and women is characterized by women serving as domestic workers and playing the role of mothers. Prior to civilization, women were treated as objects and man’s property and source of pleasure. This role was passed down to the young generation who in turn passed it to their children. This at last developed into a culture that portrayed man to be a better and a stronger being than the woman. In the recent past, women have come out strongly to defend and fight for their rightful position in the society. They have also demanded to receive the same respect and rights accorded to men. This can be said to have been achieved as a result of education. Women have resorted to hiring the services of house help and cooks to take care of domestic chores hence freeing them from house work. Women have also sought the services of baby sitters and even child care centers. Creation of this free time away from family life and domestic hustle has made women reconsider their economic viability. In this paper, the author will look at how the availability of child care has affected the participation of women in the labor force. To this end, the researcher will address some of the benefits and costs of child care to the women. Childcare in Contemporary Society In contemporary society, male superiority can be considered to be a thing of the past. Both men and women are considered equal and studies have shown that women are also as economically viable as men. Both men and women engage in economic activities and are able to meet their needs without one having to depend on the other. Such civilization has also led to division of labor, an act previously considered impossible. Men have learnt to appreciate the fact that women are also human beings just like them and that they deserve equal and fair treatment (Perkins, 2006). One factor that has previously inhibited the success of this evolution is the presence of children in the family. Children inhibited their mother’s mobility. Women would resort to seeking the assistance of their close relatives and even neighbors to keep take care of their children while they went to work. This method was however not effective since the mother would have to
Body image is one of the most important elements of modern culture and social identity. Modern women of all ages borrow their identities from glossy magazines and copy body images popularized by TV. Ideal body image plays a crucial role in contemporary society determining certain standards of beauty. Ideal body image is one of the main determinants of contemporary society. Trying to keep abreast of time and the social dynamics of modern consumer cultures, ideal body image became risqué for modern women. The research paper aims to analyze the impact o magazines images on body image and perception of beauty among young women, from 17-25 years old. By definition, “Body image is not the same as the body, but rather what the mind does to the body in translating the experience of embodiment into its mental representation” (Hutchinson 59 cited Craik 62). Thus, the researchers have treated cognition as a means for capturing the complexity and richness of experience, while they personified the mind as an entity separate from and superior to the body. Thus through the theoretical construct of “body image, ” the mind dominates the less able and less significant aspects of human experience encoded within this theoretical perspective as “the body.” Besides objectifying the body, body image research has employed a language of pathology to explain the multiple problems girls suffer as they learn to participate in their culture—a culture that places extraordinary value on what women’s bodies look like. Researchers in this tradition have used the names of various diseases (e.g., anorexia, bulimia, gender identity disease, body dysmorphic disorder) to categorize numerous phenomena of the body. Wolf goes on to describe how images of beauty are created in ways that leave many women convinced they could never fully attain that which is constructed as the “ideal” (Craik 32; Gimlin 48-49) The girls’ desires for being judged fashionable could conflict with their interests in developing other characteristics they valued, such as the characteristic of individuality; however, the girls remained painfully aware of the problems associated with low performance with respect to fashion. That is, they explained how an assignation as not fashionable carried a heavy social cost by relegating a girl to an inferior social position. When judged as not fashionable any girl could expect to be considered as generally undesirable. Gauntlett (2002) explained one of the indignities a girl might expect to suffer when judged as “Fashion Out.” When a person is fashion out they will usually get talked about by other people to other people. Although it’s not nice to talk about people, it’s something that just happens” (34). The body images popularized by magazines are based on ideals of beauty and fashion values and appreciated by society. The girls share their knowledge about fashion through an array of cultural narratives including images and articles in such popular magazines as
Introduction Investor confidence is one of the major factors that determine the funds that investors are willing to invest in various sectors of the economy. The current economic conditions determine the confidence of the investors. In addition, the future economic outlook also determines the investor confidence. Favorable future economic outlook increases the confidence of investors. Prior to the global financial crisis, investor confidence was very high. Investors were willing to invest huge funds in the financial markets. This led to the growth of companies that specialized in the provision of financial services. These companies include stock brokerage firms, insurance companies, and banks. Charles Schwab is one of the companies that existed during this period. Charles Schwab was one of the most profitable companies that provided financial services. The company specialized in the provision of discount brokerage services. This helped in differentiating the company from other companies that provided financial services. However, the company also faced several problems. These problems necessitated the company to undertake several strategic decisions to improve its competitiveness. History, Development, and Growth of the Company One can trace the history of Charles Schwab to 1963. Charles R. “Chuck” Schwab was one of the founders of the company. In 1963, Chuck Schwab formed the Investor Indicator newsletter with the help of two other partners. They incorporated Investor Indicator on April 1971 as First Commander Corporation. First Commander was a subsidiary of the Commander Industries. The main business activity of First commander was to conduct a broker-dealer business and publish an investment magazine. Chuck Schwab and four others partners decided to buy back the stock of the company from Commander. This facilitated the formation of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. The company has its headquarters in San Francisco. Brokerage transactions were the main services that the company offered. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) helps in the regulation of companies that engage in brokerage services. The SEC is one of the major bodies that determine the growth of brokerage firms. From time to time, the SEC implements various regulations that affect companies that provide financial services. Soon after the incorporation of Charles Schwab, the SEC implemented several changes that affected brokerage firms. In 1975, the SEC enacted regulation that that increased the flexibility of charges that companies that offered financial services charged its customers. Several brokerage firms took advantage this directive to increase their commissions. However, Charles Schwab took advantage of this directive to increase its competitiveness. The c
