Codes of ethics define responsibilities in professional practices. Different professions have specific codes of ethics founded on the duties of the employees, engagements with clients, and professional standards. In the mental health profession, codes of ethics mainly address professional responsibilities, handling of clients, storage of clients’ information, and the relationships that should exist between the clients and the mental health workers. The following paper will analyze two codes of ethics for social workers and the Association for Addiction Professionals, to identify their significance in promoting effectiveness in care delivery process. One of the codes of ethics among social workers is the Social Workers’ ethical responsibilities to clients. The moral responsibility addresses how social workers should be committed to serving the clients, self-determination, informed consent, competence, privacy and confidentiality, interpersonal relationships, and data access processes, among others. Similarly, the Association for Addiction Professionals has one clause dealing with the professional responsibility of individuals working under the addiction channels. Both of these codes address the mannerisms and the expected conduct among the workers in the social sector and the addiction association, especially when conducting their professional mandates. One of the similarities between the codes of ethics established for social workers is a commitment towards effective and efficient service delivery process. Addiction and social professionals have similar obligations of ensuring that the clients receive the best services, attention, and advocacy. In both disciplines, honesty and congruency are inevitable to promote quality services and to maintain the expected credibility. Also, the code of ethics in the two disciplines advocate for peace and avoidance of any conflict of interest. Battles occur in any social setting due to indifferences, pressure, and incongruence. However, it is upon the social worker and addiction professional to avoid conflicts with fellow workers, clients, and employers (National Association of Social Workers, 2012). Rationality, asceticism, and critical evaluation of ideas promote understanding and peaceful environment (The Associa
Introduction The external environment plays an integral role in shaping the strategic plan that an organization adopts. The strategic plan adopted by a multinational corporation is usually dependent on various factors such as the economic factors, socio-cultural issues and political-legal considerations of the countries that the corporation is operating. In addition, the business model adopted by the corporation should be in line with its goals and objectives (Knorr & Eisenkopf, 2010). The core factor contributing to the success of the Emirates Airlines is its business model that focuses on a lean labor force, leading it being one of the low cost airline carriers (Hanlon, 2007). A flat organizational structure is also another major component of the Emirates Airlines strategic plan that facilitates the running of the company using low operating costs. However, it is important that the company streamline its strategic plan with the different cultural environments that the airline undertakes its operations (Hodgetts & Luthans, 2003). This section of the paper provides a detailed analysis of cultural environment of its home country, which is Dubai and a host country, which in this case is Germany. This section also examines how this cultural environment affects the strategic plan for the organization. An overview of the Cultural Environment of the United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates is the home country for the Emirates Airlines. Owing its Arabic origin, it us arguably evident that the UAE has a rich cultural heritage that influences attitudes of its citizens and ultimately shapes the manner in which business operations are conducted in the country. This implies that the Emirates Airlines and other companies operating in the country must tailor their strategic planning process in accordance with the cultural demands of the people of UAE. The socio-cultural orientation of then UAE in itself is a perfect opportunity for the Emirates Airlines to undertake its business operations effectively; this is because of the increasing economic growth experienced in the country. As a result, the Emirates Airlines hub is its home country, facilitating the connection of flights from its hub (Knorr & Eisenkopf, 2010). The United Arabs Emirates is a multicultural society, although its prime cultural orientation is related to Islam and traditional Arabic culture. As such, the UAE is more liberal and this helps in shaping the strategic plans that business organizations adopt in order to ensure an effect execution of business processes in the area. Ethics is an important aspect of the Islamic culture and the UAE is not an exception. Therefore,
Job skills required that are not related to content knowledge There is a great number of different jobs which are presented in the list. However, it should be said that all these jobs have something in common. The thing is that they are oriented on communication with people (“Job Listings” 1) That is why good communication skills are vital for all specialists who are going to work in the given sphere (“Communication Skills” para. 3). However, some required skills do not belong to the sphere of communication. The thing is that any job supposes some certain kind of activity and a person should have special skills which can help him/her to perform this activity. There is a list of skills which are demanded from specialists  1. ability to read and create graphs  2. customer service skills  3. engineering skills  4. CAD skills related to solid modeling  5. Read and interpret electrical schematics  6. troubleshooting capability As it becomes obvious from the list, there are rather specified skills which people could obtain with the help of special programs or courses. Top Ten skill required by employers  1. Ability to work in a team structure  2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems (tie)  3. Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside an organization  4. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work  5. Ability to obtain and process information  6. Ability to analyze quantitative data  7. Technical knowledge related to the job  8. Proficiency with computer software programs  9. Ability to create and/or edit written reports 10. Ability to sell and influence others (Adams para. 1) It is obvious, that the process of job hunting is very important and it is rather difficult for a young specialist to find a good job (“Top 10 Employability Skills” para. 5). There is a great number of different sites on the Internet which suggest a certain list of skills which officials of a company require from candidates. From the given list it becomes obvious that communication skills and the ability to work with the members of the team are the most important skills which employers demand from their workers. That is why it is possible to say that this kind of skill should be developed as it will help a young specialist. With this in mind, it is also possible to say that content knowledge will also help a person to obtain a good job. Ways to determine if a group or individual exhibits good communication skills It is also possible to determine whether a person has good or poor communication skills. First of all, attention should be given to the appearance of a speaker. If a person is relaxed and does not show
Abstract In the local school districts, the 3 rd grade students undertake the Wisconsin knowledge and concepts exams, whose main purpose is to test what these students know when it comes to key academic areas. The exams involve testing their reading skills and math through the constructed response, which requires them to give short answers to the questions. However, most of the 3 rd graders for example, in the Racine unified local schools perform poorly with most of them failing to answer the questions or filling them partially, hence the students’ performance is below average. Introduction The Wisconsin knowledge that is undertaken by the 3 rd graders always shows their proficiency in reading skills and math and once most of the 3 rd graders results turn out to be below average due to failure in the constructed response section, with Racine unified school being an example where in 2008-9 62.9% of the 3 rd graders scored above proficiency placing it last among school districts, are proving to have very little skills in reading and math with an overall of70.4%in math and 62.3% in reading. Across the state 79% scored above proficiency. In the Racine school we see that they take up a 13% population of the whole school and the average score of the whole school ranges at 77% of reading and math. With an entry level of 60% to the 3 rd grade class after an end term assessment paper in 2 nd grade, in reading and math. Now that a problem as Dillon (2010) is identified, the following are some of the major problems that were established to affect the 3 rd graders performance in the Wisconsin knowledge and concepts examination are stated as follows; The education system as stated by Knudson, Shambaugh and O’day (2011) is a three legged approach, where the school, the child and the parent need to work together and it is with this we spot various problems in regard to the performance; Causes of poor reading skills Children play a vital role in their performance in school, lazy students who do not do their homework or practice is bound to have poor results, lack of seriousness too and naughtiness in school that diverts their attention in class. The development of the child’s brain could affect performance where if the child’s brain development is slow their rate of comprehension is challenged. Parents who are ignorant of the quality of education may not follow up on their Children’s performance is also affected by their attitude where you find they do not like reading or doing math, this is because they have put it in their mind set, that it is hard. The 3 rd grade students also view constructed responses as very hard because they generally think the Wisconsin examination is going to be hard therefore all questions will be difficult. The school board also does play a role in the students’ performance. The board’s decision on certain issues like the recruitment of under qualified teachers, using of old curriculum systems that are outdated, the reforms in the school system are hardly implemented and hence no reforms at all
The course that is named as “Protecting Human Research Participants” aims at discussing such issues as the importance of respect for all research participants and consideration of the principles that can be used in order to identify ethical research, regulations, policies, etc. With the help of this course, investigators can learn how to conduct research that involves human subjects, understand the obligation, and protect the rights. My reaction to this course is positive indeed because it helped me to gain knowledge in such issues as the history of human subject protections, the identification of the risks that could be imposed on research participants, and the importance of study designs that could be used by investigators. This course is a good chance to improve my personal attitudes to the work that I should know how to perform, combine theory with practice, and develop my analytical and critical thinking skills. I have learned that the relations between research participants have to be based on respect, honesty, and trust. All these issues are frequently discussed by a number of writers and researchers, who explain the chosen fields of study and explain how to take care for the vulnerable (Eller, Lev, & Feurer, 2014). Still, it is not enough to know these concepts. It is important to comprehend how to use them and make people recognize you as the user of these concepts. At this time, I work in home health as an RN case manager and at the Emergency Department per diem. Such workplace
Human Resource Problem The management of the Working Women Clothing Line wants to introduce online marketing as its marketing strategy to increase its market share and boost profitability. In this case, the human resource department has the challenge of hiring new employees and offering appropriate training to the existing ones for the marketing strategy to be effective. Evidently, a significant number of women who are working are preoccupied with their work, and they do not ample time to perform shopping in malls and stores. Since these women are potential customers, the introduction of online marketing is a strategy, which helps working women to purchase fashionable products from online stores in the comfort of their workplaces and homes. Define In the United States, there are big fashion companies, which dominate the fashion industry, and they offer competitive products to professional women. As an upcoming company, Working Women Clothing Line faces challenges, which emanate from the topmost competitive fashion companies. The market share of Working Women Clothing Line has expanded, and the management considers venturing into online marketing to expand clothesline by exploring international markets. Online marketing has the potential to revolutionize a company by expanding its operations, and hence, making it require additional employees in all the departments (Dellarocas 1416). Hence, the human resource department has the responsibility of hiring, training, and retaining top-notch employees to meet the demands of the expanding operations. Currently, the company has only been able to market in three states in the United States, where it has opened its fashion stores. The idea behind online marketing is for the company to sell its products to customers across the world and provide shipping services where possible. Working Women Clothing Line has identified that most professional women double up as wives and managers at home, who do not have enough time to visit the stores. The aim of online marketing is to provide these women with a chance to select and purchase their fashions online and have them delivered to their workplaces or homes across the United States. Judging from its current demand, the fashion industry is growing tremendously in the United States and globally. As physical stores are limiting and expensive to open in all areas, the management plans to use online stores to expand into diverse markets. The establishment of physical stores requires more resources than venturing into online marketing because it needs additional employees and stores. Measure The current group of marketers has no one that can run the online marketing platform. The human resource department, therefore, has to employ someone who can operate online marketing and train the other employees. First, management must design a website that the target customers can easily use. The design is important because it determines how customers can easily search and access information on the website (Kiang, Raghu, and Shang 388). Training for current marketers should im
The Cold War was a battle that had been lasting between the Capitalism and the Communism worlds during the 1950s and the 1960s. The countries involved in it included the Soviet Union and the United States. The causes of the Cold War were political conflicts, military tensions, and competition in economic wellbeing. The Cold War was a way of expressing the misunderstanding that emanated among nations. The war was held though through the creation of military coalitions, broad aiding of the disadvantaged, and deployment of strategic conventional forces, propaganda, and engagement in the arms race. The success achieved after the Cold War The United States was one of the countries that took part in the Cold War; it also involved itself in Space Race. This involvement in the expansion of outer space contributed immensely to the technological advancement of the United States. For instance, in order for the USA to explore outer space, its scientists and researchers came up with artificial satellites that enhanced immensely the provision of eminent security in the country. The United States also focused much on the development of eminent security to counter any attack that might have threatened the national security of the state. In order for the United States to achieve its goals in some regions, it assisted the overwhelmed nations in Europe economically. Due to involving itself in fighting against hunger, fears, poverty, and disarrays, the United States managed to improve greatly the working economy of the world through the provision of good political and social conditions allowing the existence of free institutions. America’s Cold War policy assisted in the economic expansion of Japan and later expounded its support to other industrializing countries in Asia. The formation of alliances among the nations involved in the Cold War contributed to the economic development of many regions. This was because it brought nations that shared common interests together leading to the creation of a free market among them. In addition, states that were economic oriented succeeded immensely in uplifting the developing countries. The Soviet Union was one of the superpowers that were greatly dreaded by many nations, its defeat by the United States was a sign of US success. This was because, at the end of the war, the United States had the power of involving itself freely in a trade that economically geared its growth. Losses incurred due to the Cold War In its provision of economic support, the United States ended up becoming more concerned with safeguarding its interest leading to the development of gaps between it and its al
Pharmacists ought to stand up and accept their role in reducing preventable injuries and deaths that occur due to erroneous drug prescriptions. This will be in line with the “patient oriented practice” definition as it was used to describe nursing during the formative years. This call is reinforced by the number of people that die or are admitted in hospitals in the US and all over the world; these numbers run into millions. Although drugs are normally administered with the interest of the patient at heart, perceived sloppiness by either the patient or the nurse have led to disastrous outcomes on the patient’s side. The undesired outcomes affect various components of the healthcare system and the society at large. These include financial costs related to hospitalization, lifetime care for those who become immobile, death of an important member of the family, negative image to pharmacy, and so on. All it takes to prevent these outcomes is a bold move to address drug related morbidity and mortality: pharmacists are best placed to address this issue. Pharmacists must abandon their old ways and adopt a system that focuses on the patient care regarding the effects of drug reactions. However, to make this thought a success, pharmaceutical and nursing bodies will have to establish new standards relating to nursing practice, encourage coordination among various care providers, and increases awareness of pharmaceutical care. However, patients must also be incorporated into these awareness campaigns since a significant number of injuries and deaths from drug use occur due to their failure to use medications in the correct manner. Individual practitioners cannot effect these changes: pharmacists have to come together in an organized union and develop and adopt a standardized patient-centered pharmaceutical care by which all members will conform to.
Introduction Courses as the means of learning new skills and abilities are often taken for granted. However, they offer a plethora of opportunities for extending one’s professional experience and developing the abilities that will serve as the basis for professional growth. The course in question sheds a lot of light on the concept of EBP, therefore, allowing me to train the skills associated with research. However, apart from the identified ability, I also gained an opportunity to learn how a new intervention can be introduced to the target population, how one can convince people to accept it, and the concept of lifelong learning as the foundation for further professional growth. EBP Approach: Focusing on the Crucial Evidence The course taught me the importance of applying the EBP approach as the foundation for further decision-making, including the design of the appropriate therapy and the identification of the strategies that can be used to assist the patient. While seemingly obvious, the usefulness of the EBP framework is often overlooked. As a result, problems with determining the diagnosis, preventing the instances o
Introduction Jonny is a potential investor into an E-Commerce website and hopes to be able to create, manage and expand the website even as he takes safety measures to ensure that the website is safely operated and accessed from any location, including remote locations. He therefore plans to spend an amount of $2 million into the project so as to gain a powerful and perfectly-operating website that may be able to eventually compete with top E-Commerce websites like PayPal (Duran, 2009). This study seeks to identify the different ways in which Jonny may establish a successful and powerful website, its potential to expand, how he may be able to ensure its security and also how he should organize his budget so as to complete the whole process in the right way. Executive Summary Electronic commerce (E-Commerce) is the form of trade that involves buying and selling of products and services using such connections as the internet, LAN, WAN and other computer networks. The process has also developed to include other processes such as online payment options where a client is able to pay for whatever they have bought online, market development, advertisement and marketing for products over the internet, products delivery services as well as many other trade-related activities that occur over the internet. E-Commerce has been on the acceleration especially due to the vast technological advancements and innovations that have taken place over the recent past resulting to an unprecedented increase in the use of personal computers as well as internet activities. With the developments that have been established in E-Commerce, internet users who wish to buy or sell products have been able to have an easy connection with each other from all over the world in such a manner that a seller is able to advertise and market for their products online, converse with the client, negotiate on prices and finally sell the product to the client even without them meeting or even seeing each other physically. In the same way, a buyer is able to view online many products that he/she has an interest in from all over the world and from different sellers, compare prices, quality and other aspects of the products of interest, choose the one’s to purchase, make online payments and then get the products delivered physically to them. These processes may take place from the comforts of one’s home or office, provided there is internet connection (Howard & LeBland, 2003). For development of an E-Commerce website, there are different stages which need to be undertaken so as to endure that it is both effective and productive. The main stages include market analysis, design of the website, pre-testing of the website operations, implementation of the website through hosting and launching, evaluation and modification to fit into users needs, management and upgrading (Lovell, 2010). Every e-commerce website must be flexible such that, with the changes that occur every day in the technology world, it will be easily modif
