Classroom for All Work aimed at teaching diversity skills is an essential task, and this part of the curriculum requires particular attention. To help first-year students adapt to college life, it is necessary to offer them appropriate educational materials that can be useful for achieving success. According to Bucher, in the context of demographic issues, developing diversity consciousness is a critical task (247). As the skills that need to be developed in this direction, communication attainments are essential. An ability to interact with people of different backgrounds effectively allows avoiding any prejudices and establishing a productive mode of operation. Another important skill that should be taught is proper workplace relationships. If students assess the activities of each of their classmates with respect, it will contribute to creating a cohesive team that could solve any goals efficiently. Finally, conflict management skills developed during the learning process will help avoid misunderstanding and provide an opportunity to resolve disagreements at an early stage. As useful resources for learning, academic sources can be used, for instance, the article by Dessel et al. and research by Valls et al., which are related to training communication skills and the ways of avoiding conflicts. Also, the book by Bucher is a valuable database where various methods of training diversity consciousness are collected. As online sources, a significant list of websites may be helpful. All of them present relevant information related to the concept of diversity among young people and the development of essential communication skills. It includes the following platforms: “Teaching for Change” ( Teaching for Change ), “Zinn Education Project” ( Zinn ), “Rethinking Schools” ( Rethinking ), “EdChange” ( EdChange ), “Teaching Tolerance” ( Teaching Tolerance ), “National Equity Project” ( National ), and “Project Look Sharp” ( Project ). All the materials found here can be useful in teaching diversity skills. Works Cited Bucher, Richard D.

The primary target of this case study is to establish the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) that are elaborated in the Airbus. Strengths. The Airbus has a number of advantages that allow the company to compete with others and maintain market position. Firstly, the biggest strength of the Airbus Company is protecting a superior compelling market share. For example, the company had been maintaining competition with another representative of the industry – Boeing for a position of the dominant aircraft producer on the planet. As a result, the two companies managed to preserve a successful duopoly, in which each organization divides fifty percent of the market share. Secondly, the Airbus Company has launched a profitable and prosperous jetliner manufacturing line: from the A318, which has one hundred and seven seats in a single line, to the A380, which is known as the biggest business aircraft in the production. Moreover, the Airbus Company suggests a broad selection in conditions of breadth and characteristics. Other strengths of the Airbus Company consist in extensive funding and can maintain competition on high levels in conditions of novelties and modernization of the product designing, production, business concerns, and environmental friendliness. And the last but not the least strength of the company is the powerful patronage of EADS over Boeing. Weaknesses. The primary weakness of the Airbus Company is discrete assertions placing blame on the organization for the is
The impact that negative emotions produced on health and life of a person was huge. Anxiety disorders were psychological disorders born of the negative emotions. In this class came the “panic disorders, phobias, posttraumatic stress disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders” (Gluck et al, p 382). An alteration of the fear response was the essential entity in phobias and posttraumatic stress disorders. Emotions were presumed to have three responses: physiological, overt and conscious feelings. In essence emotion was a body response to a stimulus or significant event. An interesting point was that responses to triggers have evolved over the years because the human beings were considered “biologically predisposed” to fears (Gluck et al, p 382). Gluck’s definition of phobia is thus: “A phobia is an excessive and irrational fear of an object, place or situation” (412). The situations were mostly familiar ones and previous experiences modulated their present response; this was termed classical conditioning which was a significant component of fear responses. Some people were afraid of closed spaces and this was claustrophobia. Others feared open spaces and this was agoraphobia which is my subject of discussion. Emotions were dependent on the different areas of the brain (Gluck, 412). Strong emotion stimulated the amygdala which regulated the storage of the emotional matter in the cortex and the hippocampus. Amygdala damage caused lesser emotionality and interfered with enhanced memory storage and the learning of conditioned responses. Memory storage in the cortex and hippocampus occurred independent of the amygdala but the association of the emotional component enhanced the memory formation (Gluck, 412). This paper focuses on three studies which have agoraphobia as a basic subject of discussion. Epidemiology Agoraphobia was a common mental health problem which disabled the patients. The prevalence of this illness in the US was 11% (Phobia overview, Health communities.com). UK had a prevalence ranging between 1-4% (Lovell, 624). An epidemiological program in Hungary estimated the prevalence of various anxiety and phobic disorders where agoraphobia showed a prevalence of 10.5% while panic disorders were only 3.1%. (Maj and Akiskal, p. 104). Earlier research Depressed patients who had comorbidity with panic disorder or agoraphobia had more severe symptoms than when depression occurred alone (Brown et al, 310). Earlier research by Van Valkenberg et al, Grunhaus et al and Brown et al indicated that the comorbidities produced markedly pronounced agitation, with feelings of guilt and inadequacy (Brown et al, 310). Fawcett et al found that suicide and panic attacks were strongly correlated (Brown et al, 310). Norton et al reported that suicide was a more common association of panic disorder than those without the diso
Introduction Issues of diversity at workplace usually are usually matters associated with race, age, disabilities, job title, religion, nationality, culture, training, competency, personal habits, appearance and experience among other attributes. Most of the employers understand that diversity is a norm and they actually embrace it and even encourage it. Most organizations have develop efficient ways of encouraging working relationships that embrace diversity among the people at the workplace because every firm now realizes that diversity adds some intrinsic or special value though there are special challenges that are associated with it as well. Some firms like General Electric (GE) have embraced diversity in a unique way and they do so by outsourcing. Why Individual Differences are Important at Workplace Diversity at workplace is an issue that businesses and other organizations are willing to accommodate as they spend money and time in trainings and education for their workers to ensure that they are strongly felt. Today’s workplace is having greater diversity than ever (Greene & Kirton, 2009, p. 47). The workforce is making strides to enhance quality and attain equality at workplace and this way, companies have to value diversity. The main reason being that there will be greater awareness, positive treatment and education of the individual differences (Greene & Kirton, 2009, p. 47). To aggressively tap the individual differences into a workplace for competitive advantage, recruitment efforts seek to attain diversity and employ amenable people to work in teams. Diversity is an opportunity for better performance. As a matter of fact, those companies which are doing very well on the international market or on the domestic market seem to all have integrated the culture of diversity in their operations. Diversity is an opportunity; this is because of the fact that it brings new challenges to the firm, fresh ideas, competition, and a variety of thoughts, innovation, creativity and appreciation (Linda, 2006, p. 476). All these features can be very profitable if channelled in the correct manner. Production for instance, the way production process is carried out in one country could be very different in the next hence having a multinational corporation which employs different nationalities can encourage exchange of ideas that are beneficial to the firm (Linda, 2006, p. 476). The advantages of diversity can summed up in the following benefits; increased innovativeness due to the broader range of ideas and decision making skills (Greene & Kirton, 2009, p. 49). There is also improved client service as diversity enhances communication and understanding. There is also competitive organization management due to the fact that they value diversity h
The article offers an overall discussion on the emergence and rapid growth of problem-solving courts in the United States. According to the author, the problem-solving courts richly supplement the function of the formal justice system in the United States. It is also interesting to mention that this type of court system is becoming popular across the globe. For instance, Great Britain and Australia are already embracing the ideology behind problem-solving courts. Although this category of courts is growing in terms of functionality, drug courts are apparently the most common type. Other varieties include community-based courts, domestic violence courts, and mental health courts. To a large extent, problem-solving courts are currently active referees to cases emanating from interpersonal disputes and neighborhood conflicts. The new problem-solving courts play some of the roles that used to be executed by the conventional civil or criminal courts. The article addresses one main hypothesis that states “people should be accountable for their harmful behavior, but the justice system should do more than simply punish them for that harm; it should prevent future harm” (Butts 121). From this hypothesis, it is evident that problem-solving courts execute their functions on the premise of correcting the behaviors of purported offenders instead of inflicting injuries. These courts do not merely rely on the fact-finding mission as is the case with the conventional courts. They operate like the “juvenile courts for adults” (Butts 121). The article also attempts to brainstorm a number of research questions. These include the definition of problem-solving courts, the origin of the idea behind such courts and the existing types, issues addressed by these courts, and how they process cases at hand. Besides, the author poses the question of whether problem-solving courts are cost-effective. The author reviews the existing information on problem-solving courts. The latter is the main study design or strategy used to present data in the article. The literature review offers a glimpse preview of the development of problem-solving courts, their growth trends, basic functions, and the anticipated future features of the court. Second, the author assumes the role of an observer in order to report both the past and present literature on the development of problem-solving courts. Such a strategy assists the author to take an objective position while reporting findings from other studies. For example, Butt explains how the longitudinal evaluation of
Introduction It can be noted that the study of international relations and the scope of Middle East research are often regarded as worlds apart, with minimal uniting factor between them. In this current age, this definition is too stark. However, it is correct to suggest that more effort needs to be put to bring the different side together and most importantly to bring the region of the Middle East to the core of international relations development (Sasley, 2011). The most influential theory in international relations and predominantly used in the United States from the end of the Second World War was realism. This is a perspective that is based on the intellectual foundations in conservative political and social ideology. To get a better understanding of realism as a perspective in the study of international relations, there is a need to recognize its conservative roots. Although it is conservative like many other theories, realism has an abundant and complex network of thoughts created over centuries. In addition, to avoid the risk of explaining a theory in just a few pages, looks at the critical areas of the realism theory (Hobson, 2005). Realism Theory The first essential element of the realism theory is that it has pacifistic perceptions about human nature. In the conservative world, people are viewed as imperfect, imperceptible and flawed beings. In essence, human nature is a combination of bad and good attributes, and the former cannot be absolutely eliminated. Conservatives who are largely inclined to religion argue that the notion of the first sin can be traced to the biblical stories. This is found in the book of Genesis about how man fell from grace with his creator. This is the reason why all Christians pray for forgiveness every time they attend church. The general assumption is that all in attendance could have at one time in the past week committed a sin. In general, the Christian theological views regard all human as carrying the original sin and by extension regarded as flawed creatures (Sasley, 2011). The second important element of realism theory is a perception of people as social beings. This signifies the fact that people are driven, and have an underlying need to be recognized and belong to a certain social community. The individual does not want to be left in isolation to become unattached creatures. Human beings are not individualist. In this case, they derive an essential sense of belonging, satisfaction, and comfort from their association within social groups. The only difficulty is that group recognition encompasses both inclusion and exclusion from the group. In essence, society groups are recognized by the individuals within, as well as those outside the groups. If everyone belonged to the same group, the group would cease to exist as it would not provide a sense of belonging (Steele, 2008). The third important aspect of related to the conservatism theory or ideology is the belief that social conflict is inevitable. Why is it suggested that conflicts are inevitable? Conflicts are known to be both rational and irrational at the same time. Coll
Circumstances that make aiders and abettors be liable for fraudulent misrepresentations Aiders and abettors are parties to an offense. They share crime intent with the person who commits the crime. They may be liable as a principal, an accessory before or after the fact. Aiders and abettors are liable for fraudulent misrepresentation when they execute some overt act, or give advice or encouragement to commit a crime. The plaintiff bears the burden of proof. He must prove that there is a material misstatement or deceptive conduct, wrongful state of mind, a connection with the purchase or sale of a security, reliance, economic loss, and loss causation (Mann & Barry, 2010). How to determine if misstatements or omissions are material A misstatement or omission is material if it influences an investor’s opinion on investing in a company. Material facts comprise of substantial changes in dividends or earnings and significant misstatements of asset value. The materiality of the misstatement is based
Made in China 2017 is an exhibition organized to attract attention to the sphere of infrastructure, building materials, innovative technologies, etc. The given event was held in Qatar in Doha Exhibition and Convention Center. The area perfectly meets all requirements of the organizers as it is big enough to house 15000 guests and about 300 exhibitions. Therefore, there were many various zones devoted to construction, highway, railway, and building engineering, communications and radio, rail transportation products, etc. Regarding the fact that the main aim of Made in China 2017 was to interest potential customers in the offered products, there were numerous media events to highlight particular aspects of the industry and attract peoples attention. Moreover, visitors were able to attend specific seminars about investment programs and the environment. In general, the exhibition became an essential event in the sphere. Therefore, among numerous companies that presented their products, I would like to speak about five ones. The first one is Guizhou Dagong New Energy Technology Co. The organization works in the sphere of electric motors and produces Vol gate, electric rolling door, roller shutter door, and other motors. It boasts the unique quality of its products and innovative technologies that are used to manufacture different goods. It has arrived at the exhibition with the primary aim to promote its products and ensure that customers will demonstrate a stable level of interest in it. Moreover, trying to expand and enhance its functioning, Guizhou Dagong looks for new partners who could be trusted and who could help the company to evolve. The second company is Foshan LongTai Hardware Products Co., Ltd. It develops, manufactures, and sells staircase railing, stainless steel baluster, and other components that are used in this sphere. The company was founded in 2007; however, nowadays, it is a potent agent that is focused on further growth and looks for new opportunities. For this reason, Foshan LongTai uses Made in China 2017 as the platform to attract attention to its products and find new partners who also work in this sphere and could share their experience to attain significant success. Therefore, the company demonstrates stable growth and could become one of the leading organizations in the field. Shenzhen Ostlumi Technology Co., Limited is the third company I would like to discuss. It uses the most innovative and technological approaches to manufacture LED street lights, LED tunn
Introduction Care planning is a legal process that ensures the continuity of care (Chinn & Kramer 2008). According to Aggleton and Chalmers (2010), care planning portrays the care delivery pathway in a systematic and logical manner. This method facilitates collaboration among health professionals, patients and families during the decision-making processes (Ratheet et al. 2015). Patients assume an active role in the development of care plans based on the subjective identification of needs and preferences (Watson 2010). As such, personalised care is essential to meet the distinctive requirements of each patient. The stages of the Care Planning Process The process of developing a care plan follows a definitive cycle of four components: assessment, care planning, implementation and evaluation (Dwamena et al. 2012). According to Ratheet et al. (2015), each of the four steps mandates the health and social care professionals to provide holistic care. Although each stage requires the application of different skills, none of them supersedes the other (Fullbrook 2007). Dwamena et al. (2012) have argued that the four components provide unique contributions to the care planning procedure. According to Chinn and Kramer (2008), the failure to address the requirements of each phase undermines the quality of care. The care planning process begins with the assessment of the client’s needs and preferences (Brotherton & Parker 2013). The use of various assessment tools is essential to generate an in-depth analysis of the care needs (McCormarck & McCance 2010). Efficient communication within the multidisciplinary team is of the essence during the assessment process. Ratheet et al. (2015) have also highlighted the significance of communicating adequately with the patients and their relations. The sources of information include non-verbal observations, written records and verbal communication (Dwamena et al. 2012). The second phase entails setting short an
Many cultures and civilizations have designed devices that pass through the air, from the primitive projectiles used in ancient battlefields such as stones and spears to more complicated, stylish, and buoyant aerodynamic appliances such as the mechanical pigeon of Archytas, Greece. History is awash with stories of early human flight such as the breathtaking stories of Icarus and the 12 th century winged air flights of Eilmer of Malmesbury (“Aviation,” 2009; Lane, 1986). To put the ball rolling, the developments that man has been able to achieve in air transportation have been informed by desires and inventions such as the 1783 hot air balloon developed by Montgolfier brothers and the more recent Wright Brothers heavier-than-air flight of 1903. This report sets out to critically analyze the history of air transportation and how it has served to revolutionalize international trade. The fascination and dreams held by man regarding flying was not extinguished upon the demise of the Wright Brothers. On the contrary, man got obsessed with the notion of developing better aircrafts, an idea that has held on from generation to generation to bring us the latest state-of-the-art airplanes. Today, airplanes have evolved into major transportation carriers responsible for delivering humans and shipments from one point to the other (Martins, 2009). Although the journey has been long, the achievements have inarguably made the world to become a global village. International trade has indeed undergone a complete metamorphosis for the better due to the ease of movement of both civilian and cargo traffic. According to aviation history, the first practical demonstration of air freight was initiated in November 1910 when a cargo of silk was airlifted from Dayton to Columbus, Ohio (Siddiqi, 2007; Martins, 2009). A story appearing in a local daily noted that the air shipment reached its destination much faster than it could have if conventional railroad express had been used to transport the consignment. According to Trani (2005), the first airmail service for the US army was documented in 1916. Nine years from the first practical demonstration of airfreight, the American Railway Express undertook to airlift 1,100 pounds of cargo from Washington D.C. to Chicago using a rehabilitated Handley-Page bomber plane. However, a frozen radiator compelled the freight carrier to terminate its journey prematurely. 1920’s- 1940’s: Period of Unprecedented Growth The US became successful in airmail transportation in the 1920’s; with passenger and freight transportation following in 1930’s and 1940’s respectively. During the 1920’s, the freight carriers catered for intra-country businesses only, stimulating economic growth due to fast delivery of merchandize to the businesses and shortened time of concluding transactions (Alaz,
