Abstract There is no universally agreed definition of the term religion. This is due to the dynamic and dissimilar perception of various religionists worldwide. However, religion can simply mean bound to. According to Christianity perspectives, this word refers to a strong belief in Jesus Christ. It can be a monarchy of an extraordinary power that offers consolation wherever faced with problems. It provides strength that aided in meeting the physical and the spiritual challenges in life and at the same time endowed humans with lots of morality. This paper is designed to study the practices in Christianity religions especially in the Roman Catholic Church. A sample of 100 participants from the Catholic Church was selected. A set of 12 questions were also used in this study to achieve the objective stated Introduction Religion can be traced back to the earlier civilization when man began to worship the system of society. At that time humans stayed in a group where systems and regulations were defined to guide the societies. Each group had its own ideology which was harmonized by an icon. On most occasions, the societies performed rituals for their icon which were basically natural such as sun, or spirits icon and character icon (Mencken, H.L. 1946). In this paper, Christianity as a religion has been discussed giving details nature of their worship, scope, and various denominations in the world. The paper also compares Christianity to Buddhism and to some extent the Muslim religion. Christianity is the religion while society is the Christians. Christians are guided by the holy book referred to as the bible which is inscription while the icon is Jesus. Christianity is believed to have emerged from Jews. From there Christianity split to form many branches such as Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Pentecostal among others. As stated above the split of religion is not only based on the different opinions but also on the geographical physical barrier. Religion can be categorized into regions or global. The national symbols of the larger religious movement are referred to as regional religious bodies. A good example is the Lutherans with several autonomous churches such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark, Finland among other countries. On the other hand global religious bodies, comprised of a single church with all members spread all over the world. Such examples are the Catholic Church and the Seven Day Adventist Church (Swenson, Don. 1999). This research paper was further designed to study the Roman Catholic Church, mode of worship, doctrines, and its global distribution. Name, location, and review of the site Catholicism religion is a form of Christianity where all members are under one church or leadership and is controlled from one central place. The church is believed to have started several years ago. The church strongly believed in Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles. The church believed in saints and their power to foresee for example believed that St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers (Mencken, H.L. 1946). The Church also believed in the purgatory which is a place where the dead o
Temperaments in human beings come in opposing pairs. One could either be emotional or unemotional, independent or dependent, aggressive or passive, adventurous or cautious, optimistic or pessimistic, leader or follower etc. Most of the mentioned character traits are inborn but some are developed based on past challenges and support. In his study, Erik Erikson discovered the dependence of behavior on culture and external stimuli like depression and wars. This paper explores the psychosocial theory of Erik Erikson and analyses its application in professional practice (Cherry, 2010, p. 1). Erikson’s psychosocial theory basically divides life into eight “psychosocial crises” that determine growth and personality. Each of these crises has a “syntonic and a dystonic” which are the two opposing emotional forces/dispositions. Although the stages are experienced in a fixed sequence, their timings depend on individuals and circumstances. Thus Erikson did not use strict age definitions in his theory. The crises are as follows:   * Trust V Mistrust. Erikson stipulated that a healthy balance between the two dispositions is achieved if an infant is taken care of and not over-protected or over-indulged.   * Autonomy V Shame & Doubt. A child develops basic confidence or over-reliance on other people from his/her parents reactions during early stages like the potty stage.   * Initiative V Guilt. The level of encouragement of children to indulge in game playing and adventure makes them develop the ability to devise projects or the fear of disapproval.   * Industry V Inferiority. A child who positively succeeds, especially, during school years will be industrious. Contrarily, a child who fails in an activity will get a feeling of inferiority and uselessness and thus he/she will fear purposeful activities.   * Identity V Role confusion. During adolescence, people either develop individuality or lack of identity (identity crisis) depending on their experiences.   * Intimacy V Isolation. This is also known as young adulthood. People seek companionships and love in this stage. A person will therefore decide to be intimate or lonely depending on earlier experiences.   * Generativity V Stagnation. This stage determines if a person will be selfless in giving and caring especially for his children. It can also be extended to productive ac
Cultural Competent Care   * Rogers’ theory of unitary human beings identifies humans as integral with their respective environments.   * Nurses need to be aware of the emerging energy fields to re-pattern them.   * Patients behave and act in accordance with their social, environmental, and cultural forces.   * Nurses use this model to support the delivery of culturally competent care.   * They will involve family members, embrace traditional healing patterns, and pursue clinical procedures that can maximize care delivery. Culturally competent care is an evidence-based practice (EBP) that borrows a lot from Roger’s theory of unitary human beings. Medical practitioners who follow this model will focus on patients’ environmental forces to learn more about their spiritual and medical demands (Aranha, 2018). They will involve different partners, family members, and experts to support the delivery of personalized services. Practitioners who embrace these concepts will meet the medical needs of more people and transform the overall image of the healthcare sector. Culture of Safety   * A safe working environment amounts to EBP.   * The presence of conflicts and challenges will affect nursing practice negatively.   * The targeted patients will record negative health outcomes.   * A positive workplace can result in increased involvement and motivation.   * Rogers’ theory offers powerful insights for achieving such an EBP concept. Rogers’ model is scientific in nature and encourages practitioners to address all possible threats in their respective settings. Such professionals are expected to support one another, solve predicaments, and create a culture of prosperity and safety. Cases of burnout might occur in different work environments without proper solutions (Phillips, 2016). This achievement might result in reduced involvement and morale. Some nurses might opt to seek new job opportunities elsewhere. The insights associated with this theory can, therefore, guide both leaders and followers to promote a safe environment that will support the delivery of personalized and high-quality medical support.
Stand and Deliver describes the story of Jaime Escalante, who comes to teach in the school that is located in the poor Latino neighborhood with the motivation to increase the students’ level of education significantly. Due to the hard work, he and his students are able to successfully pass Advanced Placement calculus two times which makes this movie quite inspirational. Nevertheless, although Latino students are portrayed as very laborious and clever, Goldman maintains that overall the story still recreates and enforces the conservative views concerning Chicanos (92). Such opinion is based on the fact that Stand and Deliver reproduces the negative and one-sided depictions of Hispanic people that are common for Hollywood movies. Despite the seemingly positive portrayal of Latino students who are highly determined to pass the final math exam and enter college, the movie, in reality, reaffirms the most popular prejudices about this minority group. For instance, the movie shows Chicanos as those who are poor, uninterested in studies, and gang members. Evidently, the scenes that describe the life of the students outside the school are no different from the common representations of Latinos in mainstream media (Glick and Dean 65). Probably, the most picturesque example of the movie’s conservative message is the dialogue that happens between Ana’s father and Jaime. The parent of Escalante’s student asserts that his daughter does not need to finish school as she would most surely “get pregnant and drop out” from college later (Goldman 89). Therefore, it can be questioned whether Stand and Deliver can really reduce the racist and prejudiced views towards Latinos. Yet, despite the affirmation of the popular image concerning ‘barrio’ and its inhabitants, the movie challenges the existing institutional racism or, in other words, the system that only serves the interests of the dominant group. Thus, Stand and Deliver shows that in this particular case, Chicanos are not naturally violent or not intelligent. Instead, the blame for poverty, low education, and high criminality levels is placed on institutions that cannot adequately integrate this group and provide its members with good opportunities.

Introduction Corporations exist to make profits. One way of increasing profits is by reducing operating costs. Corporations in America have focused on reducing costs by way of offshore outsourcing. Offshore outsourcing involves hiring of companies and individuals outside America to complete tasks set by American corporations with the aim of cutting down on such costs like hourly wages, paid leave and holiday allowances. Offshore outsourcing has proved to be an effective way of cutting down on operating costs. However, offshore outsourcing has attracted proponents and opponents in equal measure. This essay seeks to explain the concept of offshore sourcing, reasons advanced to oppose offshore outsourcing and reasons for offshore outsourcing. A personal opinion will complete this essay. Offshore Outsourcing Offshore outsourcing refers to the process of hiring companies or employees to execute a company’s roles overseas (Wise Geek). For instance, a manufacturing company based in the United States of America may use employees outside America to handle issues relating to customer relations and technical assistance. Data entry is the most popular job outsourced overseas. The internet plays a critical role in the whole process of offshore outsourcing because it allows companies to hire freelance individuals all over the world (Wise Geek). Such overseas companies and individuals charge lower rates than employees in the mother country of outsourcing company do. There are two broad categories of offshore outsourcing. The first category, Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) refers to outsourcing of a corporation’s information technology related jobs like software development, ecommerce, networking, as well as web development and hosting (Rose India Technologies PVT. Ltd). The second category, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), involves outsourcing of services related to customer services, financial accounting practices, logistics, assets management, security as well as procurement (Rose India Technologies PVT. Ltd). Other sectors like human resources, insurance, manufacturing are emerging as popular fields of offshore outsourcing. There are various reasons advanced for offshore outsourcing. Reasons for Offshore Outsourcing Corporations opt for offshore outsourcing because it is cheaper. Most developing countries have high unemployment rates among skilled labor force. Such individuals work for overseas company and charge lower rates than citizens in the parent company’ country (Outsourcing Offshore). In addition, such outsourced employees do not require such benefits like holidays, paid leave, travel allowances among others. This saves cost for an outsourcing corporation. In 2003, the average cost of Indian and Chinese software developers was over ten times cheaper than the average wage of American software developers (Outsourcing Offshore). Corpo
JetBlue was established by David Neeleman in the later years of the 90’s. It is an airline that offers various differentiated services at a low cost. Therefore, it follows the strategy of being the best cost provider aimed at giving its customers a high value for their money. This report will seek to distinctly highlight how the company can be able to achieve its cost spot through the capacity to slot in nice-looking characteristics at abridged prices. Through the management strategic approaches undertaken, JetBlue has the capabilities and resources to expand its growth and profitability as will be evidenced by this report. Analysis JetBlue Airways serves 57 cities with approximately 650 daily flights throughout North and Central America plus 10 international flights. A low-cost airline requires high efficiency in its operations and it is very crucial to come up with very strategic measures so as to remain competitive. The critical aspect lies in the fact that, as much as the organisation is aimed at maximising profits, it is also bound to meet its strategy of offering low-cost fares and also offer high quality services. JetBlue has a mission of being a leading low-fare, low-cost passenger airline aimed at offering high quality customer service to underserved markets and customers looking for the best value in their flight. JetBlue owns the newest and advanced planes that are reliable, safe, fuel efficient, utilising advanced technologies and unique in multi-media entertainments. Prior to 2007 during Neeleman’s tenure, JetBlue was prosperous and consistent in strategic moves producing the best in the airline industry. As a response to the 2007 ice storm, Neeleman instituted the Passenger Bill of rights while at the same time setting systems in place that could hold more reservations agents in future crisis times. The main strategic expectation of the move was in the intent of becoming America’s favourite airline. Company Strategies of Management Growth at JetBlue Strategic management is an aspect within any organisation that is very crucial for development and growth so as to realise considerable growth. According to Hunger and Wheelen (2), strategic management can be termed as set of managerial decisions and undertakings aimed at determining the long-run performance of the corporation in question. The decisions and actions determining the effective long-run performance of a corporation are very critical in determining the eventual performance of the organisation. According to New York Times , an example of a problem faced by JetBlue is the winter of February 2007 which forced airlines to cancel flights or delay them leading to hundred of travellers stranded in
The cognitive functions of the brain continue to be closely studied by neuroscientists. This task involves the use of complex research methods and technologies. Their main goal is to understand how physical elements such as synapses or neurons affect the human mind. To a great extent, the work of the brain can be better understood through various physical manipulations, for example, surgeries. Moreover, various cases of brain damage can throw light on the role that different parts of the brain play. In particular, one can examine the case of Phineas Gage since it shows how significant brain damage can influence mental processes. Nonetheless, at this point, researchers admit that their knowledge of brain functioning is still very limited. These are the main aspects that should be discussed more closely. Among the major cognitive functions, one can distinguish learning, language capacity, decision-making, reasoning, and problem-solving (Baars, 2013, p. 331). Researchers note that some parts of the brain take part in the various cognitive process (Baars, 2013, p. 331). For example, one should speak about frontal lobe which is closely related to executive functions such as planning (Baars, 2013, p. 331). The case of Phineas Gage attracts the attention of many scientists because it illustrates the effects of the severe injury on the cognitive processes of an individual (Baars, 2013, p. 331). It should be noted that Phineas Gage’s skull was transfixed by an iron rod. Gage survived this injury, but his mental activities were significantly impaired. Much attention should be paid to his goal-related behavior. For example, he could not make plans even for the near future (Jaaskelainen, 2012, p. 171). Moreover, he became extremely impulsive, while this character trait was not typical of him before the accident (Jaaskelainen, 2012, p. 171). One should take into account that in the course of the accident, Phineas Gage suffered the injury of the frontal lobes. As it has been said before, frontal lobes are related to many executive functions such as long-term planning, selective attention, and concentration (Jaaskelainen, 2012, p. 171). These are some of the main aspects that can be identified. Moreover, the frontal lobe is vital for a person’s ability to control his emotions such as anger or annoyance (Jaaskelainen, 2012, p. 171). On the whole, this case of Phineas Gage contributed to the long-term development of neuroscience as we
Introduction Crowdsourcing was first used to determine the degree of influence of the collective mind on a single business. It is believed that crowdsourcing is the process of doing work by a variety of contractors without any contracts, in most cases, online. Unlike freelance, the use of human resources is suitable for solving more labor-intensive tasks that require a considerable number of performers and time. Thus, the most precise definition of crowdsourcing is information technology, which combines interested people and makes it possible to propose ideas on a given topic, comment and discuss, refine and choose the best. Definition of crowdsourcing Crowdsourcing is a unique tool for both business and government. For example, the owner of a company that produces consumer goods is about to release a new product. How do business people know if it will be in demand? It is essential to understand that the standard way of marketing research is time-consuming, expensive, and is not always effective (Brabham, 2017). An alternative is crowdsourcing, because within a couple of days, the consumer demand for the product will be known, and the report will be received f
Personal Sexuality Sexual education has an integral role in removing one’s doubts on sexuality and sex related topics. It has often been identified that sexual education helps one to get a clear picture of the male and female sexuality. The sexual counseling and orientation class that I received was really effective in taking away the veil of sexual illiteracy and it enabled me to understand what human sexuality is. Regarding my personal experience with the class, I can identify it as one of the most effective classes which I ever attended and it helped me in changing my concepts about sex. As it was a class that covered almost all the sections of sexuality, the participants got the opportunity in properly identifying and clarifying their doubts on this topic. It was effective to get a clear picture of sexually-transmitted diseases and their evil effects on mankind. The proposed paper is an attempt to explore what sexuality is and the misconceptions of individuals about sexuality, based on personal experience of attending an orientation class on sexuality. Researchers show their willingness to reach the conclusion that misconceptions and vague beliefs about sexuality contribute severe physical and mental disorder and behavioral problems. Various studies prove that effective orientation courses and sex education programs help to solve sexual problems and permit a person to mould a desired outcome in a person’s sexual life. The course promotes enormous knowledge and scientific information about sexuality in adolescence. In case of an adolescent, physical and mental changes affect seriously. In case of a male, biological changes such as puberty, growth of sexual organs and sexual attractions towards opposite sex are very common. In my own personal opinion the orientation course helped me to create scientific notions about sexual difficulties and sex-related diseases. The course helped me to deal sex as something serious and responsible phenomena in a person’s life. The web article entitled Sexual Difficulties remarks that; “Sexual difficulties belong to the group of conditions known as psychosomatic disorders, in which the body expresses the distress via a symptom, such as low libido.” ( Sexual Difficulties, p. 1). Adolescent period is the most crucial time in a person’s life and the detailed description by the course person gives new knowledge about the behavioral changes and disorder problems. Both male and female suffer from lack of love, consideration, respect and proper interaction. Like other people, I also have some vague concepts about sexual changes and psychological impacts on a person’s life. After the orientation course I could understand more about male and female anatomy and their psychological impacts. Through the course I have got an opportunity to comprehend the term gender problem. Effective interaction between the course person and the listeners reduced the complications of the topic and it enabled me to admit sex is not only a me
