There appear to be three areas that recent research has shown brain development in adolescence and emerging childhood. The areas of the research were considering the aspects of synaptic pruning, myelination and cerebellum which were viewed within the problem of overproduction. Thus the synaptic pruning takes place actively in the age of 12-20 years, when “the average brain loses 7 to 10 percent of its grey matter” (Arnett, 2007). Thus such simplification of synapse improves the work of the human brain; but there is one disadvantage, as the work of brain becomes more specialized, it gets less flexible. The next issue is myelination, which was considered to act within the period of puberty, but now the scientists think it lasts through the period of teens. The function of myelination is the same with the synaptic pruning: the brain operates faster and more effectively, but then it becomes less flexible. But the result of the recent research that I find most poignant is that cerebellum is of crucial importance for making decisions, understanding humor and other aspects; besides the cerebellum continues to grow until the mid-20s. I would like to tell you about two stages of Kohlberg’s theory of moral development. The first stage concerns the first level of preconventional reasoning, which presupposes that a person obeys the rules in order to avoid punishment. I believe this stage is a feature of children who do not understand yet what is right and what is wrong; and try to follow the rules not to be punished. For example, the kid is not allowed to play on the carriageway, his mother prohibited him to do that and if she appears to see that he plays there, he is sure to be punished; this is the only reason for him to obey the rule. The next stage I am going to describe is the third one. It presupposes that a person tries to conform to some specific rules and principles of behavior. Thus the ‘good’ wife is believed to be a caring mother, a passionate lover, a devoted friend, a business woman and a housewife. I am going to describe the relation of moral reasoning, moral evaluations and moral behaviors in terms of worldviews approach to moral development according to Jensen. A person wants to know what is right and what is wrong; the aspect of moral reasoning answers this question by giving explanations for different kinds of behavior. Then a person comes to know about the right and wrong behavior and makes conclusions on the issue and can judge upon the behavior; it concerns the aspect of moral evaluation, which “in turn prescribe moral behavior” (Arnett, 2007). Moral behaviors become basic principles for worldviews. Thus there exist three types of ‘ethics’, which are based on people’s actions and worldviews; the ‘ethic of autonomy’ presupposes that individual has right to do whatever they like without doing harm to others. The aspect of ‘ethic of community’ presupposes that a member of the community has certain obligations towards other members of this community. According to the aspect of ‘ethic of divinity’ the individual is a “spiritual entity, subject to the prescriptions of a d
Company Background ABC Logistic Company has newly established its first office in Great Portland Street with an initial staff of 6 people – an admin officer, 4 document processors, and a receptionist. There are two directors of this new company who are now interested to deploy a small network in their setup that could help them to manage their staff and resources more efficiently and effectively. Proposed Network Design As shown in the figure, there are total 13 partitions in the office – 2 for directors, 1 for receptionist, and 10 for staff. All the partitions have network ports, therefore, it is possible to provide network connectivity to all the users. Why? In last few years, the significant advancement in information technology and telecommunication has attracted almost every business to use them for improving their processes and gaining competitive edge over their competitors. With the recent developments in wireless communications and video conferencing, the businesses have showed their great interest to embrace these new technologies in order to survive and prosper. Today complex phone systems, fax machines, and networked-computers are considered crucial for any business. How? The proposed network will offer a wide range of benefits to the business; some of the major advantages are:   * Ease of data sharing and access   * Cost reduction (for example, paper cost, postal delivery cost, and so on)   * Centralized point for managing applications (through Application Server)   * Link to the outside world through Internet (the link will be secured through using the Firewall)   * Centralized point for files and documents sharing (through FTP Server)   * Efficient management of resources and users   * Fast and reliable communication (through Exchange Server)
I attended the Delaware County Youth Orchestra on April 4, 2012. At the concert, diverse songs were played, and the tonal disparity with the help of melodious instruments was amazingly faultless. This experience was quite amusing for me, because I witnessed breath-taking performances, and there were songs that were played that seriously made me value orchestras. I have always held Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov with high esteem, but it never transpired to me how incredible it would be, to watch him perform live in concerts. I have to acknowledge, after watching his performance on the Russian Easter, which was first played to a live audience in 1844-1908. It is particularly striking how he uses the musical instruments to create a rhythmic sound. The saxophone is used to strike low and high notes, by using these notes the artist makes the performance electrifying. The artist avoids monotony in music, by including the different notes. Repetitiveness in music is catastrophic to the audience; one cannot expect the audience to listen to low notes without incorporating them with high notes. People may saunter before the concert is over, or some may end up sleeping, all through the performance. The subsequent exhilarating concert was by Camille Saint-Saens, which was a Violin concert. This performance first took place in 1835-1921. Some people may consider one retarded for listening to such a performance. The concert was fascinating; the violins generated a supple enchanting sound. When one listens to the sound produced by the violins attentively, one can figure out what the melodious sound from the instruments explains. The melody in the ejected sounds from musical instruments is an art of music, which can be determined by individuals who attend concerts. The artist does a mammoth job with the violins. His performance is entrancing; his focus is on the low notes in music. He starts on a high note then he revolutionizes to the low notes softly, making the audience value his style of music. The artist is accomplished with violins, making his concert one be remembered by the audience. People need to appreciate harmonious instruments; the violin in this case is the magic behind the great performance. Consequently, there was a concert by Gustav Holst, which was a song about the planets. This song was performed in 1874-1934. The performance ideologies are original and fresh, making the concert innovative. This performance shows how spectacular creations are; each conception has its unique identity. When listening to this performance in a concert, one is able to appreciate the scenery more. The song makes one understand that music is not all about the verbal message; on the contrary, the sound is the only significant element of music. By the use of musical instruments like the bass guitar and the piano, information on the planets is clearly ill
Introduction Emotional management is an important concept that can be used to explain certain types of social behaviors. In combination with an appropriate sociological perspective, it can be used to predict the emotional responses of individuals in certain situations. The following essay incorporates sociological imagination to establish a connection between personal experience and emotional management and apply the conflict theory to further substantiate the conclusions using the personal experience obtained during a remote job. Personal Example An example of my personal experience relevant to the topic was obtained during a part-time job. The performed tasks had to comply with relatively high standards of quality but were compensated generously, so initially, it created an impression of a fair offer. However, over time I started noticing inconsistencies in the requirements posed by the management. In separation, these inconsistencies could be downplayed, and the received payment was sufficient for tolerating them. Nevertheless, over time it became apparent that these details accumulate into a major detriment to my emotional well-being and, by extension, performance on the job. As a result, I decided to quit the job in question. Emotional Management From the emotional management perspective, it is possible to attribute the described scenario to the expected adverse reaction to violations of workplace ethics. An individual is expected to get angry upon encountering the unfair actions, especially those conflicting with the widely accepted practices. By this principle, I started to question the feasibility of the job as soon as the adverse emotional reaction became more apparent than the perception of a fair financial reward. The concept of emotional management deals with the principles of experience in the context of social expectations and norms. From the emotional management standpoint, individuals tend to respond to emotional triggers in a way that is either expected or acceptable on a social level. In other words, it is reasonable to assume that an emotionally challenging event,
Peer Review Advantages of peer review to scholar-practitioner Peer review has both merits and disadvantages depending on one’s argument and perception. Considering the merits, peer review helps scholar-practitioners in various capacities. It provides the needed criticism to various scholarly works, which includes articles and journals. Such criticisms are extremely essential to scholar-practitioners in various perspectives. For instance, criticism helps in identifying weak points of scholar-practitioners’ works (journals). This, in turn, helps the scholar-practitioner to avoid his current mistakes while working on his other journals. Moreover, it also helps scholar-practitioners improve their future works or journals thus giving quality academic outcomes. Peer reviews also refine the works or journals written by scholar-practitioners. It helps in revising journals thus modifying the works of scholar-practitioners to a better academic product. This ensures that the best and most refined academic work of the scholar-practitioner is published for viewers or readers (Molnar, 2011). Ways of determining peer-reviewed articles There are various ways one can determine whether peers have reviewed any two articles. For instance, one can search on peer-reviewed websites to determine whether the articles exist in the sites. This is possible by searching the name of the journal in the peer-reviewed website (CALPOLY, 2011). If the articles appear, then it has been reviewed. One can also know that an article has been reviewed by looking at the front cover of the article (David, 2011). Some journals always provide information on whether the article has been reviewed by peers on front pages. However, it is necessary to understand that the information must not always be on the first page. Therefore, sometimes one will have to look in the entire journal to determine that the article has been reviewed. Another way of asking whether the article was indeed reviewed is by contacting the editor of the document or article. Describing Total Information Networks Online resources Numerous resources are continuously being posted in various Internet sites. However, these online resources often have both scholarly and non scholarly journals. These resources offer a wide range of information needed for any research or study. However, it is imperative for one to evaluate the nature of a resource before using them, since some of them are often invalid thus unreliable. An example of a link that provides numerous journals that can be significant for carrying out an extensive study, which contains adequate information. Sites are also suitable locations for obtaining the reliable information. Academic libraries Academic libraries also contain a wide range of information that can help in conducting various research projects. They contain books, journals, newspapers, electronic resources and other various materials necessary for conducting academic research. These libraries are often found in
While the purpose of budgeting in both public and private sectors is to plan expenditures and revenues, there are considerable differences in the approach to budgeting. First, while public bodies try to balance budgets, private sector organizations aim at predicting operating results. Governmental organizations need to match the expenditures on mandated assets and services with the money they receive from the public, while private organizations use planning to estimate future profits (Kind). Second, budgeting in the two sectors has different aims. In the private sector, the goal is to maximize the profit, while public organizations focus on providing the projected services using the allocated money (Kind). Third, the two types of organizations enjoy different transparency standards. The private sector does not need to provide a detailed budget to the community, while publically owned companies make their budgets available to anyone. In criminal justice, there are agencies that use both types of budgeting. It makes intuitive sense that government organizations in the field such as the police, courts, and prisons, use public budgeting since they spend the money received from taxes. At the same time, privately-owned organizations, including legal aid agencies, law firms, private investigators, and security companies, aim at maximizing their profits. In short, criminal justice agencies use the budgeting system according to their aim, type of ownership, and sources of funding.

Introduction Gerard Manly Hopkins, an English Jesuit clergyman, and novelist wrote the sonnet “God’s Grandeur.” Hopkins composed the poem in 1877, but it was not published until nearly 30 years after his demise in 1889, as was the case for most of his writings (O’Donnell 1). The term “grandeur” implies magnificence or greatness. In “God’s Grandeur,” the author, Hopkins, expresses his admiration for the splendor of God and His creation, as well as his dismay at how humankind lost sight of the special relationship between God and the natural world during the Second Era of the Industrial Revolution. Hopkins utilizes literary devices such as metaphors, imagery, repetition, and symbolism to address the social theme of the lack of connection between people and God, which resulted in the exploitation of nature. Background of the Poem The life of Gerard Manly Hopkins coincided with the second industrial revolution, which indicated a rise in manufacturing and extensive use of machines which alleviated the toil of millions of workers. Moreover, the rapid pace of technological progress of the period ultimately lifted many people from poverty and allowed them to live decently. Yet, although the revolution had many other benefits, including boosting the economy and loosening social limitations through infrastructural developments, its impact on the environment was an issue which could not be ignored even by the most passionate proponents of industrial activity. Namely, the use of machines, large-scale extraction of natural resources such as oil which fueled industries, had translated into devastating effects on the environment. Pollution and destruction of natural habitats of wild animals, as well as contamination of water and air and urbanization, had replaced pristine landscapes in an instant. One of the greatest achievements of humanity in the 19 th century also meant a tragedy for nature. Hopkins was one of the witnesses of these unfolding events and was particularly emotionally affected by the erosion of the environment, which he believed was created by God and given to people as a gift. This reflects the main idea conveyed by Hopkins in “God’s Grandeur,” the loss of connection to God through the destruction of his creation. Hopkins did not write simply about the destruction and pollution of nature, instead, he used it as a pretext for stressing how his contemporaries lost their faith in a higher power. As Kilmer (243) noted, “His religion was the basis of his writing, and that writing a piece on a secular topic was unthinkable.” Thus, with “God’s Grandeur,” Hopkins wanted to remind the audience of the social issue of lack of belief in God in society and used the theme of the evils of the industrial revolution to highlight this topic. Metaphors used in “God’s Grandeur” Of all literary devices, metaphors tend to produce the most powerful effect on the reader since they immediately make the audience conjure up an image in their minds whic
General This essay focuses deeply on the question of why “Western way of war“ becomes so dominant. The essay summarizes the several answers to the question above starting from the origins said to be classical Greece and Rome to middle ages all the way to world wars and the Gulf wars (Parker 4). The practices of the western war have been noted to reappear generation after generation hence becoming the history of western victory. The explanations of why the current western armies don’t fear any external force apart from themselves. How the patterns of change and where they are experienced in the western way of war are determined. Supporting points on the subject The author describes some qualities which emphasized and made the western way of war most outstanding. Firstly, the existence of the advanced technology, there were excellent weapons and armor which were used by the western people. This left them outstanding from one generation to the other. Superior discipline was another quality among the soldiers (Parker 7). Several effective trainings were conducted and the trainees were willing and ready to be trained, this made the soldiers to far ahead as they knew what was expected of them and united. Ingenuity in response, there was a repeated brilliant tradition which was not originated from the government or religion. This led to continuous improvement among the military challenge. Civic militarism made the preferences of the citizens to be considered as they participated in military decision making, this made the military to grow stronger through the support of the citizens. There was a quality of decisive engagement which made the military to face their enemies head on and later resolve that fight quickly and decisively (Parker 11). The dominance of infantry, there was notions that even the strongest men, or men with horses, or with missiles they cannot win the war alone. The men who were going to the field were well cared for through the collected taxes, and borrowed money and enough materials to be used by these men in the field for a very long time. Finally, there was a moral opposition to militarism, different groups from religions, politics and arts demanded for justification and explicit explanation concerning the war. They used such information to regularly question and even arrest those who tried to apply the restricted ways in the military force. All in all war was not regarded as the preferred course of events but termed as a tragedy among humankind. Out of the above qualities only four of them which determine how deep and classical the western way of war should be perceived. They include technology, civic militarism, open deliberation, and capital. Significance The continual use of the advanced technology is very essential and a well realized goal. During the First World War the machine guns were introduced in European by Germans. By the year 1914 armies were unknowingly depending on weapons such as riffles and machine guns (Parker 9). The us
To effectively manage an organization, leaders should manage accounting information effectively. Although Vincenzo Vasta has been successful in his restaurant business, much success and ease in management can be attained with effective accounts management practices. Accounting information is crucial for decision making to both internal and external users of accounts. When up-to-date and accurate accounts records are maintained, managers are able to make informed decisions (Barry and Jermakowicz, 2010). This report discusses the gains that Vincenzo Vasta would get by maintaining an effective accounting system in his restaurant business. With well-maintained accounting records, Vincenzo Vasta will be able to make informed decisions; informed decisions lead to competitiveness in an organization. Leaders are accountable to external users of accounts who include the government for taxation purposes, shareholders, bankers, and creditors; they are willing to know the financial strength of an organization so that when making decisions whether to transact with the company or not, they are informed of the strength or financial base of the company. Accounting is guided by international accounting standards, this creates some set of uniformity that players in the industry should conform to; when some set of discipline and integrity are maintained, then an organization can compare its operations with others in the same industry, having the same operating risks, and size. Comparison of companies assists in knowing whether a certain company is using its resources in the most effective manner or else it is able to mitigate and manage operating risks in the most effective method at its disposure. For example when gauging the price to charge certain meals, accounting information is likely to offer insight information on the right approach to use when pricing the foods. With the information Vincenzo Vasta can know whether to charge extra for lunch specials or dinner, the information that he will get from the accounting department include sales trend analysis. Marginal cost/price analysis will be another benefit that the company will get from the accountant; the directors will know whether it is beneficial to open an hour earlier in the evening (this will be attained through cost benefit analysis tools of managerial accounting). Transactions in an organization can be managed effectively if appropriate accounting data and records are maintained; for instance to determine the price of a commodity, management should consider all the operating costs that have gone into the production of the said commodity. Other than the costs associated, there should be an analysis/consideration of the operating profit margin that the company would like to get from the said commodity. The above information is accounting information that companies need to manage and hold effectively. A company is considered different and independent of its directors; the above legal requirement has been one of the challenges that non accountants have had when accounting for their companies. The differences are
