The skills and abilities associated with growing up during the digital age are relevant for many developing careers. Analyzing the effects of the digital age on the digital generation is vital to understanding how to plan a career. Scholars have already begun exploring the attributes of the generations that have grown up surrounded by technology such as mobile phones and the Internet, particularly millennials and generation z. These two generations approach life, education, and the workplace with different priorities and abilities, often connected with the technology that they have been surrounded by since birth. Various scholars and writers tend to have different views on the generations that are mainly influenced by technologies, as some tend to believe that these experiences encourage their creative thinking. However, others think that the Internet, primarily social media, makes individuals more narcissistic and lazy. Nonetheless, technological proficiency gives young adults a unique set of skills that they can use in their careers or education. Thus, it is essential to analyze primary and secondary data to comprehend whether the digital skills and outcomes of digital literacy are crucial to my dream career as an airline crew member. The article by Tapscott analyzes the qualities of the two most recent generations and how technology influences their learning outcomes, career prospects, abilities, and more. The author has a positive view of the Digital Generation, as she believes that the Internet enables individuals to be “the actor, the collaborator, the initiator, the rememberer, the organizer” (Tapscott, 2012, para. 5). She states that modern technologies help individuals to be more determined, creative, innovative, and collaborative. Moreover, the article’s central idea is that social media, games, computers, and other essential attributes of the Digital Generation enable young adults to attain unique skills and experience for the contemporary labor market. Moreover, the new generation is particularly self-confident, enthusiastic, tolerant, imaginat
Researchers might still argue about the meaning of the term “historiography.” It appears to be closely connected to history, which states what has happened. Historiography, in its turn, is the study of history. Tucker, referring to Goldstein, mentions, that “Historiography is what historians write as historians, not what they say or do” (Goldstein, 1996, p. 256). If we address, for example, the Encyclopedia Britannica, it will state that “… the writing of history, especially the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particular details from the authentic materials in those sources, and the synthesis of those details into a narrative that stands the test of critical examination” (Vann, 2014). Thus, historiography presupposes not describing facts, but analyzing them. It is evident that the past influences the present. Knowledge of history may help to prevent or avoid mistakes in present-day life. Nevertheless, the influence of modern social norms and fads on judging the past events is not always considered. Still, it is certain that the past events look different in the contemporary light. Generally speaking, the contemporary world perception is critical, people try to explain past processes from the modern point of view. Earlier, history itself was not well-developed; it depended much on the church and religion. Any event could be explained as “God’s will, ” and no one would doubt it. On the whole, today’s society is more curious both about present and past events. People are eager to discuss what was happening some centuries ago. Let us look, for example, at the period of the Gilded Age. People tried to educate Native Americans and the newly-arriving immigrants, teaching them to read and to write in English. They believed it was for good and would contribute to their assimilation in the new surroundings. At present, on the contrary, many people think it was the violation of the locals’ rights and interference with their authentic culture and traditions. A similar situation nowadays would probably lead to a revolution. The other example of old times perception can be the Victorian era. It is known that during the reign of Queen Victoria the key virtues for a woman were motherhood, respectability, and concentration on the family. The only suitable place for a lady was her home. Thus, women were far from the social life, being family-centered. It looks rather weird for a modern woman because the feminist movement promotes the equality in social life and work. Thus, something that was good, acceptable and even adorable two centuries ago, is strange now. When the next century comes to an end, historians get a set of tasks to solve. They are to find a place for their science and be honest about the events they transfer to the future generations. Ernst formulates the task of historiography as “no other endeavor fits as well as history does with the peculiar needs of human beings, to whom the temporality of life allots the roles of emigrant
The business environment is dynamic and highly competitive. Staying afloat and remaining profitable have become more and more complicated. Just as the numbers of new business entrances have increased in the recent years, so the level of collapsing ones has raised as well. The principal reason for success in some quarters is attributed to excellent management. The effectiveness and competence of managers contribute to a company’s success. This is because managers mentor, motivate, and supervise employees to ensure that the organizational objectives are met. A number of qualities are essential to achieve these objectives. The system of rewards and punishment is remarkably effective in the management process. Working in teams is the most valuable asset for managers. Teams work s the best when it is properly motivated. It is undisputable that all humans perform their duties exceptionally well when their work is appreciated and valued. Since rewards have proven effective in many instances, all tasks that are done well should be rewarded. Punishing mistakes and failing to reward well-done jobs are undermining effective management. The tendency to focus only on the negative lowers the employees’ morale and must be discouraged. Delegation of duties has been and will be one of the key strengths of management. One person cannot perform all the work on his/her own. It calls for a team. Delegating duties is not a haphazard job. It requires consideration of strengths and weaknesses of employees. This is a significant step in the delegation process as only those best suited for certain tasks will get the opportunity to do them. For managers, delegation presents the most effective way of getting your tasks excellently completed on time. It also eliminates the chances of confusion and failures in job allocation as every employee is assigned to do what he/she does the best. Communication is one of the most important keys to successful management. It can make a difference between success and failure. Therefore, it cannot be ignored at all costs. Good communication does not mean only sharing information with employees, but also requires the given data to be passed using the best method available. This will ensure that the message is understood as intended without any interference. Information flow between you, the manager, and employees should be two way. As you pass instructions, you should be ready to listen to employees and react on their reactions appropriately. As such, putting system in place to enable employees to raise their concerns without fear of intimidation, prejudice, or criticism is essential. A competent manager should communicate well as he/she needs to establish his/her authority. An authoritative manager should also know the boundaries of his/her power well. Hostility is not the solution here because the employees need to be kept at a safe distance to avoid downplaying the manager’s authority. Relationship, especially at work, should be as
Introduction This paper discusses a product recall that involved Halco LED Bulbs. When the product was being manufactured and sold to clients in different international markets, it was mainly used for displays in retail outlets. The PAR30 bulbs that are also in this category measure about 4.75 inches long and 3.75 inches wide while the PAR38 bulbs measure approximately 4.75 inches long and 4.75 inches wide (CPSC, n.d). Several LED bulb models, such as the PAR30/14WW/NFL/LED, PAR30/14WW/FL/LED, were also included in this recall. Essentially, a product recall is affected if a product is found to cause more harm to users about benefits. The recall date of the ProLED bulbs was July 15, 2014, with the recall number: 14-123. The main reason behind this recall is that when in operation, the LED bulbs may overheat. Since they are mostly hanging above consumers, they may fall onto them. The result of such a fall may be either a serious burn or injury. Hence, the ability of these bulbs to separate from the sockets poses a threat to t consumers and warrants their recall. Brown, Nicol, and Ferguson (2005) argue that the LED bulbs are manufactured in such a manner that during operation, they neither generate heat nor release UV and IR radiations into the environment. Considering the sophistication of the technology involved in manufacturing the products, the safety of consumers relies on the safety procedures and precautions set by the manufacturer. In case the product had not been recalled by the manufacturer and it causes serious harm to the consumer, the manufacturer (Halco Lighting Technologies) would be fully liable for negligence. Duty of care In tort law, the duty of care would involve the legal obligations that would be imposed on the Halco Company to ensure that it highlights a reasonable care precaution to the consumers of its product in ensuring that they are not harmed or injured (Howells & Weatherill, 2005; Seaquist, 2012). Recalling this product by the company emphasizes the company’s consideration of the safety of its clients and that the release of these products into the market was not by negligence. Standard of care In this case, the standard of care determines the level of prudence and caution that the Halco Company has taken in producing its products professionally. The level of negligence in allowing the use of the LED bulbs by the consumers is minimal and the risks that have been reported by the consumers of the goods are less (Seaquist, 2012). The company had already eliminated all the environmental hazards that the bulbs might have posed to consumers with the only hazards being reported to be on overheating of the bulbs. This is controllable through the use of appropriate power watts. Hence, the company had observed a standard of care in its product production process (Kim, Bae, Kim, Kim & Song, 2012). Breach of the duty of care The business establishment has a duty of care to its consumers and is expected not to breach it in case of a serious health risk report posed by its products. In making a recall on its LED bulbs, the company has taken responsibility for its products and, he
Who will be Allure’s main competitors in this market? Cruise lines are one of the fast growing companies in the USA and each year the number of the competitors is going to increase. Working in one and the same industry, the companies are going to create as many specific offers as possible in order to win. The main competitors of the Allure Cruise Line in the industry are the similar companies which provide the clients with the similar services. There are a lot of different companies in the USA which offer similar services, however, most of them cannot be considered as the company competitors as they are big international company and do not have the contradicting interests with Allure Cruise Line. Costa Cruises, Windjammer Barefoot Cruises and The Maine Windjammer Association (Cruise Lines? 2009) are the main competitors of the Allure Cruise Line as the spheres of their interests coincide. Working in Florida and having the similar tours these companies compete severely. Each of the companies wants to become the leading one and that is why more and more practical and innovative decisions are made. Moreover, the competition becomes stronger as the sphere is interesting and attracts more and more participants. How will Allure distinguish itself from its competitors in these markets? One of the main spheres of impact the Allure Cruise Line is best into and is going to compete in is the number of tours offered for the clients. The comfort and the services the clients of the company are offered cannot be compared with any other one. The company distinguishes itself from other similar companies by the quality of the services, the comfort of their ships and the possibility to choose the place of destination and departure. The customers are offered a range of services which are going to be satisfied within the shortest period of time. The location of the Allure Cruise Line offices is one more distinguishing features as the company has the representations in many countries. Additionally, the company is planning to expand into Mediterranean and make sure that it occupies more and more territories. Therefore, one of the main distinguishing features of the Allure Cruise Line is its desire to expand not only nationally, but also internationally. How will they position themselves differently? The positioning of the services is one of the most complicated affairs in the changing environment. The service positioning relies on the company customers who are to express their desires and demands in the relation to the company services. When the demands and desires are expressed, the company managers are to access the costs on the realization of those desires and the service positioning strategy. “The service positioning strategy is a choice of which client segments the organization wants to serve, how it intends to attract and retain those clients, and what methods/know-how it uses to deliver the intended benefit” (The Berkeley Consulting Group, n.d., n.p.). The opportunities and threats are to be considered before applying to the service positioning strategy. To be successful, Allure Cruise Line should apply to al its resources and refer to the capabilities it
Tyger by William Blake About the writer William Blake was born in London on the 28 th of November 1757 and died on the 12 th of August 1827. He is a celebrated English poet who belongs to the school of romantic poems. He expressed his ideas and view of romance both in his poems and his paintings. William Blake was a poet, painter and also a successful printmaker. His works made him to be classified as one of the greatest people who influenced the area of English romanticism. His main outstanding abilities were the gift of being able to express the realities of humanity and empathy through his poems and visionary writings. Paraphrase of the poem The first stanza is a question on the immortal hand that could make such a beautiful and fearful figure for the Tyger, the second stanza asks where the Tyger was created and the third is a question on how the creator formed the Tyger; the fourth stanza is asking which tools were used to create the Tyger. The fifth stanza asks the Tyger, the reaction of his creator and wants to know who exactly is this creature. Finally, the last stanza asks the same question as in the first stanza but this time, it inquires as to how one could dare to create such creature. Themes The poem clearly presents the theme of a greater being or the presence of a mystical power that is not cleary understood. Such a power can be interpreted as God; also the poem dwells on the sublime that is the big, scary and mysterious. This theme is emphasized by the questions that the speaker seeks to find from the Tyger, such as the mortal hand that framed the fearful symmetry; this indicates the presences of a superior being. The use of the phrase “Did he who made the Lamb make thee?” seeks to find out if the same person or creator who had made the lamb created the ti
Introduction One realizes the fact that the modern age could be characterized by the blistering growth of various kinds of business followed by the increase of the importance of money and incomes. Under these conditions, a great number of various companies accept profit as their main goal, trying to increase the level of incomes forgetting about various issues. However, the given situation could lead to the collapse of the whole sector. Body of text First of all, it should be said that the issue of business ethics is very important under modern conditions. There are several reasons for this statement. First of all, one realizes the fact that trying to obtain great incomes various companies could forget about ethics and switch to unfair practices. It will obviously have the great negative impact on the whole sphere and lead to the decrease of the tempos of its development. Realizing the great threat and companys adherence to unfair practices, new businessmen will lose their desire to work in the given sphere. Additionally, it is also very important not to forget about such issues as moral and honesty. There is the idea that profit is the main aim of any business. However, using this pattern, companies forget about ethically right actions that lead to the increase of the level of satisfaction of their customers (Marcoux, 2008). It is a very threatening tendency which could result in the collapse of the whole sector. Being not satisfied with the quality of the provided services, people might prefer use some other remedy. Conclusion With this in mind, it is possible to make a certain conclusion. The issue of business ethics is very important nowadays and companies should adhere to its main concept in order to guarantee the further development of the given sector.
Telehealth can be seen as a ubiquitous topic in health care, but it may come by surprise to some that technology has been adopted rather slowly in the American healthcare system. The COVID pandemic has had a considerable influence on the increasing exploitation of communication technologies in the USA, but some challenges to telehealth adoption are still in place (Poppas et al., 2020). One of the reasons for the low pace at which telehealth has been adopted is the need to allocate additional funds. Although technology is rather available and affordable (numerous devices can be purchased or rented at a low price), healthcare facilities need substantial resources to provide high-quality care. Moreover, hospitals need to integrate telehealth-related devices and systems into their existing information system, which is associated with additional investment. Devices need to be operational while employees need certain training. All these financial issues have become the burden that slowed down the process of telehealth adoption. The existing requirements and standards imposed by federal and state authorities have been obstacles as well. Reimbursement peculiarities have made telehealth services less attractive to healthcare professionals (Huilgol et al., 2020). It is also necessary to add that a large population receiving healthcare services is the cohort of the elderly who are not active adopters of telehealth technologies. Older patients still prefer face-to-face communication and receiving services in traditional forms. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, the COVID pandemic became a considerable impetus for telehealth adoption, and an increasing number of healthcare facilities are active users of this advancement. People in rural areas are most likely to benefit from telehealth, but the residents of populated urban areas are becoming more active users of telehealth as well. The development of new devices and applications, as well as the work on the alignment of different systems, contributes to the spread of telehealth.
The issue of poverty is a never ending topic of discussion all over the world. This is even true in a supposedly rich country like the United States of America. This is my observation as I scan the daily newspapers, watch the six o’clock news and listen to my neighbors when they have nothing else to do but talk about life and politics. It is very important topic of discussion because poverty is something that many of us would not want to experience. At the same time when we talk about poverty we also talk about the other side of the coin, which is, riches and comfort. People from all walks of life, from the high and mighty to the poorest of the poor are affected by impact of extravagant wealth and staggering poverty. Economists, politicians, diplomats, entrepreneurs, employees, speculators, scholars, and even blue collar workers never cease to talk about poverty. However, there is no agreement when it comes to the root cause of these problems. It must be pointed out that poverty is caused by inequality. Poverty and inequality go hand-in-hand and in order to eradicate poverty then we need to deal with inequality. Now, here is the problem, I find it difficult to simplify inequality. For example a poor person in the United States is better-off if compared to someone who struggles in a Third-World country. Inequality on the other hand is the same tricky problem. Minorities are citizens of this country but sometimes they feel as if they are second-class citizens and unable to access to resources that are open most Americans. In order to simplify the discussion I would like to focus on some of the aspects of inequality that is familiar to me. Therefore, I would like to focus on social mobility, access to health care, the right to education, and the right to eat nutritious food. In my opinion it does not matter where you live in the world, whether you are a European living in the trendiest cities or a citizen of Third-World country living in squalor, if you do not have access to the things that I mentioned above then you have experienced inequality and if you look around you the presence of inequality in society is the root cause of poverty. In the January 22 nd issue of The Economist for 2011, there is an article entitled the Inequality: The Rich and the Rest and the author said that inequality exists because of the lack of social mobility (The Economist, 2011, p.1).This is true but there is a need to elaborate on the issue of social mobility. Thus, the lack of social mobility is the existence of social obstacles that prevent a person from getting the best job etc. I believe in this statement and I should say that the focus should be on quality education. In a progressive country like America the door swings wide open for college graduates. If the percentage of young men and women who can afford to go to college will significantly increase then there will be less inequality in this nation. One of the main focuses of the Davos meeting is the growing gap
The period of revolutions, from 1789-1815, and the year of 1848 was marked by great transformations in social and political consciousness of European nations. These periods had a great impact on national identity of nations and their unity, self-determination and state sovereignty. The revolutions can be characterized as one of the milestone events in European history which led to formation of the state and the nation. The historical significance of the revolutions is that they opened new opportunities for the European people to fight for personal freedom and liberty, independence and self-governance (Spielvogel, p. 81). With an independent and developing Western Europe, there would be a steady increase in the production of agricultural and manufactured goods. Population of the lands virtually vacant at that time would probably double in twenty to twenty-five years with no corresponding diminution of it in the European natio
