Continuous conflicts have the potential of bringing down the operations of the organization if care is not taken. Several scholars have confirmed through research that coaching is one of the effective methods of resolving conflicts in an organizational setup. The method applies where the trained coach is willing to engage the client that is capable of improving. Coaching allows people to realize their potentials, as well as professional objectives. Application of coaching as a valid tool of managing organizational conflicts is gaining relevance owing t the fact that it helps people gain stability, express and elucidate ideas, build up a mission statement for work life, administer time, make occupation relationship, and deal with personal tasks. Based on this, the coach is charged with a consultative role, supportive task, advisory function, motivation, and training of the learner. Jones and Brinkert (2008) observe that many organizations appreciate the role of conflict coaching as far as prevention of conflict is concerned. In the ninth chapter, Stober and Grant (2010) observe that coaching should take into consideration the cultural aspects of clients. This implies that each culture has its corporate social responsibility, which should be considered when offering coaching services. In this regard, western corporate culture is different from the American culture; hence, the role of the coach is to understand the needs of the trainee before moving in to help (Linder-Pelz, 2010). In modern society, which is characterized by interconnectedness, culture should be analyzed closely before advising employees on the best system to apply in resolving conflicts. In the United States, managers value individual achievement as compared to collective gains. The case is different in Japan since the achievements of the group play an important role in the success of the organization as compared to individual efforts. In Europe, society influences the life of an individual meaning that individualism is not valued so much. Goldsmith, Lyons, and McArthur (2012) observe that coaching influences the leadership skills of an individual. This implies that people should be coached continuously for them to perfect their situational leadership skills. In the fourth chapter, the scholars try to compare coaching with consultative forums. They are of the view that the trainee initiates the coaching process by accepting to cooperate with the coach. Coaching has no end since it is a continuous process. In the fifth chapter, the idea of coaching myth is analyzed since many people are always stuck on who they should depend on far as coaching is concerned. The scholars suggest that an individual with adequate skills and expe
I chose to make my observations in the local church. Situated in the heart of our neighborhood, this 20 th century church has a seating capacity of 1000 people and headed by a youthful priest called Ramero. I was seated in one of the church benches for a period of ten minutes. Several interesting things occurred during this period. Among the notable events I observed include different dressing styles, dialect, and nature of the congregation. This report discusses these observations from a communication point of view. The report attempts to present an in-depth personal profile of the youthful priest during a sermon within the church from an insider perspective. Besides, the paper touches on the environment within the church, the people, and activities taking place from an anthropological point of view. In the expansive hall of the local Catholic church is seated the youthful, jovial, and kind priest called Ramero, who is originally from Taiwan. As a youthful priest, he was inspiringmany, especially with his divine sermons, passionate presentations, and delightful approach in initiating helpful projects to his congregation, as I later learned.The church was filled to the last seat. The seating arrangement was very unique. Women sat on the far left row while the men were concentrated in the middle and the right rows. At the far right corner was the choir team consisting of seven men and five women. This group was wearing purple robes. The choir master was swinging his hands togesture the team to sing one of the compositions. Just then, a group of more than seven
Body shapes differ in body fat levels and muscle accumulation and are determined by genetics. People have different body shapes, with men having rectangular shape and women having hourglass shape. The society has focused on how people appear, but an individual’s view of his/her own appearance may not meet the society’s expectation. This paper focuses on body fitness and health as factors to an ideal image. According to Zygmunt (1995, p.114), “body types can be classified into three; endomorph, mesomorphs and ectomorphs”. In endomorph, both sexes tend to have larger thighs and hips. They also have short legs and high wastes. The second body type is the mesomorphs, whose body appearances are athletic build. They are likely to lose weight as compared to endomorphs. The ectomorphs have low body mass and narrow hips and shoulders. Their whole body shape appears like a ruler. Fashion and beauty magazines put photographs of models that have perfect bodies, such as women with curves. Yuill and Barry (2008 p. 36) argues that “both male and female do different types of exercises so that they can acquire their preferred body shapes and due to complex social relations, especially in the universities, females are anxious of their body shapes and the need for being attractive to their male fellows while seeking their approval”. Media and cultures has been a factor that has led to men and women dissatisfaction of their bodies. Older women are likely to be more satisfied as compared to younger ones who will do all kinds of exercises to have a perfect body figure. Men also spend time on weight training to achieve the same images as those that appear on the media. They do exercises such as jogging, cycling, swimming, shoulder presses, and squats. Young women focus on their
Introducing the Event Depicted in the Cartoon The cartoon under consideration provides a picture of the horrible disaster happened to Japanese people who lost everything. The tragedy has taken thousands of lives away and has deprived thousands of people of home. In the cartoon, the artist tries to depict the reaction of other people to this tragedy and show how trifle other problems are comparing to the sufferings experienced by the Japanese people. While comparing tsunami disaster and NFL fans’ concerns, Tornoe has managed to render the scale of disaster as well as unconcern of other people with the problem (n. p.). The cartoon is based on the event that happened on March 11, 2011 when about 30 000 people died and got to the list of the missing. Full devastation and natural disaster appears to be one of the horrible events in the history of mankind. But what is more terrifying is people’s indifference to this tragedy and reluctance to help and understand other people’s sufferings unless this tragedy affects them. Tornoe chooses a tricky approach to conveying a satirical character of the cartoon. In particular, while introducing different contexts within an image and correlating two completely different events in terms of meaning and importance, the artist intends to fully disclose the essence of people’s attitude towards the tragedy as well as the measures they take to help. In addition, Tornoe also makes use of irony while comparing two different interpretations of “tragedy” for the Japanese and for the American. Information about Title, Artist, and Subject of the Cartoon Providing a Detailed Description and Analytical Summary The cartoon under consideration is called NFL tragedy whose author is Rob Tornoe, an outstanding political cartoonist. The picture unveils his personal vision of the events happened in Japan and the way the global community reacted to this disaster and expressed its unwillingness to be involved into rescue operations and measures eliminating the consequences of the tragedy. While taking the first look at the cartoon, one can see two figures, one representing the Japanese people and another from the United States. The first person looks desperate and helpless because he lost his home and land because everything was destroyed by the earthquake. The second figure is an American standing near Japanese, but is little concerned with what is going on around him. He seems not to care much about the house burning as well as about heaps of ruins he is standing on. With some beverage in his left hand and a “Fun Number One” gl
Introduction Heroin being highly addictive, can lead to physical and psychological dependence. Therefore, heroin addiction is characterized by compulsive drug use, which can last for long periods despite the presence of harmful side effects. Consequently, heroin addiction has both psychological and social implications on the users (Eisch & Harburg, 2006, p. 271). In the current case, Harry, the protagonist in the movie, ‘Requiem for a dream’, shows several psychosocial effects arising from his heroin addiction. First, because of his addiction, Harry joins criminal gangs selling heroin in the ‘black market’. Here, Harry and his friends live in a dreamland in which fulfilling their social responsibility is nothing but a dream revolving around earning more cash from the drug business to save their families (Watson & Parke, 2009, p. 1159). As a result, Harry and his friends are ready to do anything that generates enough cash to buy drugs. Subsequently, Harry, his girlfriend, and his friend, Tyrone join criminal gangs involved in assassinating competitors in their drug market. Consequently, their business hits an all-time low forcing them to look for alternative means. The relationship between Harry and his girlfriend is adversely affected because of his decision to have her become a prostitute to generate enough cash for drugs (Darke & Hall, 2009, p. 189; Vlahov et al., 2002). Moreover, when Harry’s friend is arrested for murder, most of the cash generated from their drug and prostitution businesses went into bailing him out. To begin a new life, Harry and his friend decided to move to another town oblivious of the consequences of violating the rules governing bails. Their lives change drastically after they are both arrested for a criminal offense. Discrimination Actions in the Movie Following the arrest of Harry and his friend, many discriminatory actions are notable in terms of the way the two convicts are treated. First, the two friends are not given the opportunity to seek better medical, psychiatric, and mental attention, which might have helped them in overcoming their addiction and undergoing normal drug withdrawal therapy. Instead, Harry’s friend is thrown into jail and left to recover from his drug addiction by himself. On the other hand, Harry is taken to a prison hospital that lacks the necessary facilities or expertise, which could have considered the long-term implications of amputating Harry’s arm (Pang et al., 2004,). Instead of amputating Harry’s arm, the physicians should have considered any available alternatives. Moreover, Harry and his friend discriminated against their female counterpart after their business fails because they decided to relocate from their hometown to another town and left her to fend for herself through prostitution. In addition, because of their desire to start a new drug business, they do not consider any possible consequences of leaving their f
Media shapes the early childhood learning environment to the extent that it highlights ethical issues, gender roles and cultural concerns. Popular media, in particular radio, television, newspapers and popular magazines play proactive roles in constructing the perceptions of how families need to look like. The “ideal image” of a family has immense impacts on “real” families upon bearing in mind that different families comprise of people with differing personalities. The impact is the development of differing cultural identities among people right from the earliest stages of physical and cognition development (Maples, 2001, p.67). Media associates certain races and or cultures as being more superior to others in terms of finance and portrayal of familial roles that people regard as “ideal”. Sexualisation of certain familial roles creates images of reservation of certain duties for a particular gender among children (Lumbay & Albury, 2010, p.143), for instance, thinking of beautiful soap operas aired in television screens. Such images reflect themselves in the development of children. In fact, during children plays, play roles are subdivided alongside the constructed ideal familial gender roles seen on mass media. Popular music, video games, newspapers and even television are not just harmless entertainment forms. They aid in constructing behaviors and attitudes among their audience that people may perceive as media mania instigated (Mackay, 2002, p.37). For instance, ideal families are presented as widely lacking violence. More often, the parties involved in such familial relationships are ever on agreements. Arguably, this is not existent in the real families. Differences are the order of the day. In this context, “ideal families” presented in Australian media afflict families thus rising families’ relationship breakages as each partner seeks an ideal person reminiscent of one appearing on a soap opera. A conflict of culture occurs when values and practices differ from those reflected in the dominant “Anglo” images of family presented widely in Australian media. Cultural conflicts are widely evident based on the ability of the mass media to shape attitudes and peoples’ behaviors with the realm of a family in the “ideal family” images regarded as desirable and acceptable. This means that media images influence people’s cultures to the extent that the images portrayed form a comparative basis of appropriateness of audiences’ culture in comparison to the ideal culture portrayed in the mass media. Adolescents in particular are function cautious. Given that dressing outfits are part of a particular people’s cultural artifacts, a crash occurs where young people tend to emulate differing people’s dressing outfits advertised in the media. The sexualization debate in Australia places the responsibility of erosion of children’s innocence to media particularly TV, radio and popular magazines (Rush, 2011, p. 114: Taylor, 2011, p.49). A mid
From the beginning of human existence, numbers have always been captivating. This attracted popular thinkers to solve the underlying mysteries with natural numbers. Being the global natural language, mathematics has many branches with the oldest as number theory (Zhao et al. 46). Every generation of mathematics experts is fascinated by number assumptions. A good comprehension of this theory is significant in many fields today such as software engineering. Being the king of pure math, number theory forms the basis of cryptography which is taking a great revolution in recent days. There are two different periods in history that represent the evolution of number theory. First was the invention of the greatest common divisor algorithm which is a strategy to simplify fractions by the use of geometrical viewing. This method of working with numbers step by step has always been used in calculations of area, volumes, and lengths. The second important period was the formalization of existing scattered methods while providing the answers to unsolved mathematics problems. This was a breakthrough in mathematics because it formed the foundation for future mathematicians. There are many devised theorems in mathematics with each having its inventor. The arithmetic theorem links prime and natural numbers stating that exceptional products of prime can represent integers larger than one. This theorem joins unusual things with natural and regular numbers. Spacing between natural numbers follows a regular trend while serial prime numbers vary (Bansal et al., 2019). The algebra theorem associates zeros with polynomials and states that numbers alone are not sufficient to form algebraic equations. The foundation of the algebra theorem is the need for complex numbers when evaluating all roots. In the composite number system, every nonconstant has exactly n roots. The theorem is also classified as being existence because it states that the roots are there but does not guide on tracing them. The calculus theorem links integrals and derivatives thus it is all about the connection of change and accumulation. The theory states that it is not obvious for integrals and derivatives to be related but the degree of change of any integral is a result of the function of the collected values. The theorem has a defined computational tool where integrals can be devised through the construction of antiderivatives. The linear algebra theorem is essential in mathematics for relating the row space of an object with its null space. Subspaces are major concerns of this theorem where some are said to be orthogonal. Pythagoras’ hypothesis deals with triangles and outlines that the square of a hypotenuse is the same as the square of the two other sides in any right-angled triangles. It lists a computational met
The product recall is not a new phenomenon, and it is worth highlighting that a number of different companies made the decision to recall the product after it was sold to the customers in order to protect their life and health. As a matter of fact, sometimes it is difficult to predict possible consequences of the usage of the product. In other cases, the product is very innovative, and it is the reason the experts cannot forecast some problems. However, after multiple testing and customers’ reactions the product can be recalled by the company. The primary purpose of the paper is to discover the corporations that have initiated recall within the last two years. Moreover, it seems essential to make an accent on the process of the recall. Although the process of the product recall is highly dependent on the local law, it should be stressed that there are fundamental aspects that every company follows in case the product is hazardous. For example, in case the manufacturer of the food for pets has sold the product that might consequently lead to the death of the animal, the company should make public announcements and ask the customers to return the product. In such situations, the customers are provided with the replacement of the product or refund. Recalls influence the stock and the reputation of the company in a negative way. People buy food every day, and thus, should be provided with appropriate products that will not be hazardous. Although the food manufacturers must make sure the product is safe, a number of times the food was recalled. On the may 24 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recalled the snacks that were already delivered to schools because of the potential threat of listeria monocytogenes ( Recalls, market withdrawals & safety alerts, 2015, 2016 ). On the 31st of December 2015, the Thomas Produce Company recalled sold cucumbers as the possible risk of salmonella was discovered. On the 23d of December 2015, American Pure Whey recalled Whey Protein because milk and soy were undeclared. In the 12th of December 2015, The Sweet Leaf Tea Company recalled their tea in the glass bottle because of the presence of the glass fragments in it. On the 18th of March 2015, the company Vitamin Cottage Natural Food Markets announced to the public that there is the risk of salmonella in the garlic powder and asked to return the product ( Recalls, market withdrawals & safety alerts, 2015, 2016 ). The sphere of food is not the only one that is experiencing the product recall. The automobile industry is not the exception. In 2015, the Mercedes-Benz recalled almost 4,000 vehicles because of the safety issues ( Mercedes-Benz recalls 3,800
Executive Summary The following report focuses on the automobile industry analysis. This industry is viewed by many analysts as inherently interesting owing to its massive and competitive nature. Due to changes in the global trends and oil reserves, the automobile industry should be re-structured. Method of Analysis of the Automobile Industry This can be done by focusing on the historical description of the industry. In this report, Porter’s Five Forces Model has been used in the analysis to help in deeper understanding of the automobile industry. In this discussion, three market leaders have been chosen for the analysis. These top three companies are General Motors, Toyota and Ford (History of the Automobile, 2005). Industry Overview The industrial growth and expansion of the automobile are majorly influenced by vehicle components, fuel innovation, market changes, societal infrastructure, business structures, suppliers, and manufacturing practices. For instance, the recent consumer empowerment and increasing sophistication trends have prompted the automobile makers and dealers to search for new markets, which are specialized, among the ones that are already saturated with customer diversity bases. A good example of such a market is that of the United States. Therefore, it is important to venture in the newly emerging markets, especially in the Latin America and South East Asia (History of the Automobile, 2005). This will promote the automobile dealers to establish production facilities in the overseas. Such establishments will in turn lead to business strategic partnerships and global alliances with foreign automobile dealers. Using Porter’s Five Forces Model to analyze the Automobile industry Michael Porter came up with five major forces, which influence the industrial performance. The forces identified are barriers to entry, supplier power, degree of rivalry, buyer power and threats of substitutes. Considering other industries that operate under the free market and capitalistic economy, analyzing the automobile industry through the use of Porter’s Five Forces is very important to understand the market dynamics (Freyssenet & Shimizu, 2003). However, in this discussion, the main focus is on the analysis of the barriers to entry that exist in the automobile industry. Barriers to Entry The automobile industry has high entry barriers that only allow fewer firms to enter in the market. In fact, there are small numbers of firms that dominate the automobile industry since there are several barriers to entry. In such business environments, there are high economic rents, which make the automobile industry attractive to many investors, both the local and foreign. However, firms such as the restaurants have few entry barriers due to low economic rents, which make them less
