Identifying the technical facts There are some evident ethical implications and moral dilemmas associated with the Rae Properties Inc dilemma. In this case, Jeff’s predicament revolves around two key issues. On the one hand, if he were sincere to the investors he would risk the business, since the probability of getting a tenant at the ninety percent-occupancy rate would be negligible. On the other hand, Jeff may perhaps cause the firm to stand a better chance of getting an investor due to the partially hidden details in the prospectus. As a result, if the client discovers these details and decides to act out, Jeff might compromise the reputation of the company and drive away other potential investors in future. Such attack would greatly ruin the company’s reputation. The initial question that Jeff must contemplate and find an answer for is whether he would be reacting ethically by burring very important information in the prospectus. Moral parameters In relation to Buerki and Vottero (2002), on identification of moral parameters, it would be important to be as concise as possible over the extent to which the decision that Jeff makes would have on the reputation of the firm. For instance, what extent would the high break-even occupancy rates affect segments of the clientele? The process of problem analysis and identification should also involve analysis of the effects of legal constrains that are involved. Jeff has catered for any form of legal implications that can arise because the information is not totally omitted but partially concealed. Jeff fails to emphasize the information to take advantage of investors who might not be keen enough. Legal constrains Another ethical issue represented in the case study involves invoking the conscience clause in relation to the law. The investors obviously lack proper information regarding all details of the contract. Like many marketers, Jeff is using a scrupulous method of capturing attention of potential clients due to the influence on sales. Social group and the public in general have different perspective over business need since they feel that an action ought to be driven by consciousness. Jeff needs to analyze his consciousness and validate against the laws governing real estate companies, thus the reason that he need to find a better way of convincing potential client. Personal judgement of Jeff’s decision The decision Jeff makes during the design of the prospectus ought to enhance the relationship between the company and the potential clients rather than conform to a fixed professional code of ethics or organizational culture. Jeff is interested in enhancing measures that assist the firm to maximize profits. Some of this internal bureaucratic rules and regulations are crafted in such a way that they enhance the internal efficiency of the firm, but on the other hand compromise the good relationship with the customers. These are third party Ethical constraints. Jeff is trying to find
Introduction It remains evident that various services such as cleaning, reception desk maintenance, check-in procedure are essential elements of the hospitality industry and influence significantly the customer’s satisfaction during his/her stay in the hotel. Nonetheless, it is apparent that the hospitality industry implies the sufficient flow of business processes, as the quality of the provided services is strongly dependent on the overall efficiency of the organization (Anupindi et al. 2011). It could be said that the overall satisfaction of the customer is dependent on his/her perception of the hotel and his/her rapid fulfillment of his/her quickly arising needs. Nonetheless, the combination of the insignificant procedures and their sufficient flow are the critical determinants of success due to their interdependence. Nevertheless, the duration of the processes cannot be explained theoretically, as the nature of the procedures in the hospitality industry is rather simple. In this instance, one of the services will be chosen for the analysis and evaluated in the theoretical context to improve its efficiency and maintain customer satisfaction on the same level. Despite being the complex system, the primary reason for the existence of the gap between the delivery of the service and the customer perception is the lack of collaboration between the front and back office due to the complications in the efficiency of the processes and the corporate culture. The primary goal of this paper is to verify the choice of the hotel service and describe it using particular examples. In turn, the theoretical framework has to be evaluated and implemented in the context of the chosen service to explain the duration of the activity with the assistance of the article Service Businesses and Productivity by Schmenner, which is highly focused on the functioning of the hotel and maintenance of its efficiency and customer’s satisfaction on the high level (Schemenner 2004). Additionally, other sources and publications are used to explain the duration of the services. In the end, the conclusions are drawn to summarize the findings and to underline the importance of the business processes in the hospitality and tourism management. The Choice of the Service Firstly, the particular service has to be chosen, as the theoretical framework and explanation is highly dependent on the nature of the procedure. In this instance, I have chosen the maintenance of the check-in at the reception desk in the resort hotel, as it is one of the fundamental determinants of the company’s success from the beginning. In this instance, the primary duties of the reception desk should be clarified. The reception desk has to inform the other departments of the check-in and check-out of the guests, as, otherwise, the hotel rooms will not be prepared for the other visitors (Barrows & Powers 2008). In turn, it is also responsible for keeping track of the guests an
There are several home care services available for individuals with cancer (American Cancer Society, n.d.); out of these, Julia Morales may be expected to use the services of a registered nurse who would assess the care needs of the patient and create a care plan (possibly in collaboration with physicians), as well as of a physical therapist (to help address the problems with walking, which will probably be additionally impaired due to her knee), and of an occupational therapist (to help to regain or not to lose the skills needed for daily living). Because Julia refused to continue chemotherapy and radiation treatment, her adenocarcinoma should be expected to get worse, which means she may need further services of a nurse, who would create plans for supportive care (such as pain control); as well as the services of social workers to help Julia and her partner Lucy to deal with the emotional fallout pertaining to the rapidly progressing cancer (American Cancer Society, n.d.). On the whole, Julia’s condition should be expected to get worse, probably at a fast rate; therefore, the most basic nursing intervention would be aimed at providing Julia with medical care plans for supporting her organism and managing the possible adverse effects of cancer, such as pain and impaired functioning of organs into which metastases may spread. In addition, Julia should be supplied with psychological interventions aimed at creating an atmosphere of trust between the nurse and the patient, giving health education, transferring the patient’s focus from her adenocarcinoma, and helping Lucy to assist Julia (Cheng, Kong, Chang, & Wei, 2013). For Julia’s family (including Lucy), it is possible to provide psychological interventions aimed at relieving grief, as well as educational interventions to empower the family to better assist the patient and tend to her needs. When communicating with Julia and Lucy, it may be recommended to utilize communication techniques that involve the elements of active listening; encourage the verbalization of thoughts and feelings, including such adverse emotions as grief, fear, sadness; and provide emotional support (Cheng et al., 2013; Doenges, Moorhouse, & Murr, 2014). The nurse should also supply the patient and her family with information pertaining to her diagnosis and the expected effects of the disease’s further progression. The nurse might want to focus on the positive experiences and moments of the past (for instance, showing the patient that she had a good life, if possible) and the present (demonstrating to the patient that she is loved and cared about by her partner and her family). While providing interventions, the nurse should refrain from making judgments about the patient’s and her family’s actions, as well as avoid giving the patent and her caregiver’s false hope; in addition, the cultural peculiarities of the patient and her family should be taken into account (Doenges et al., 2014). There are a number of educational components and methods which may be included in Julia’s care plan. For instance, it might be desirable to educate the patient (and her partner, who gives her care) about the potential ways of furth
Introduction Sarah Jewett’s A White Heron is a short story written in the best literary traditions of the nineteenth century: although simple in its language and plot, it cleverly alludes to many important philosophical questions. In a tale about a young girl meeting a hunter, the author touches upon the subjects of the relationship of humans and nature, the feelings of attraction, and moral judgment. This essay aims to analyze how Jewett’s writing style draws upon the dilemma of egoism and altruism in making ethical decisions. Plot The story begins by introducing its protagonist, Sylvia, and her amicable relationship with nature. Wandering in the woods, she meets a young male looking to hunt for the rare white heron and quickly develops feelings for him. Overcome with a “wild ambition” to help the man the girl sneaks out of the house at night to climb the tallest tree in the forest – a vantage point for sighting the bird (Jewett, p. 7). The protagonist discovers the bird’s nest but does not tell the hunter where it is, despite her feelings and his promise to “make them rich with money” (Jewett 9). Jewett lets the reader decide if Sylvia made the right decision as the girl finds herself in doubt about it at the end of the story. Questions In this story, Jewett addresses the critical battle of selfishness and altruism: should one choose what is best for them or the other (and sometimes, for everybody)? The author juxtaposes the dire financial situation of Sylvia’s family, who are “so poor now” with an inalienable right of every creature to live (Jewett, p. 9). The protagonist resents the pettiness of the hunter’s pursuit: “she could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much” (Jewett, p. 6). Therefore, one can praise Sylvia for her decision for the noble spirit. Another can criticize because it affected the welfare of people other than herself. Although morality is important, sometimes it is crucial to estimate the gravity of adhering to it correctly. Conclusion Despite being written a century and a half ago, A White Heron raises a question that occupies the minds of many people today. In a simple story, Jewett connects appreciation for nature and a fleeting attraction, putting its character before a difficult moral decision. Once again, classic literature induces its unsuspecting reader to ponder over the timeless philosophical problems and reflect on their ethics.

Introduction Autism Spectrum Disorders is a complex disorder that affects an individual’s ability to interact socially with others. It also causes problems associated with normal communication abilities. It always starts at a tender age of three and persists until adulthood. A person suffering from this disorder is not able to coordinate several body organs properly (Hollander, 2003). Their speeches are blurred and lack coherence. Their general behavior is also abnormal. When they start developing, they find it difficult to associate with their age mates because they differ in terms of social behavior. They find themselves isolated from the other group of children because they are not able to respond to the general stimuli. This isolation makes their development even more difficult. They do not get a chance of undergoing normal stages expected of a child. Impact to the Family To any married couple, the most anticipated news is the birth of a child. A child brings joy to the family. It is a sign of completeness to the couple and is always received with joy. However, realization that one of the children is suffering from this disease can be the most disheartening news to any parent. It is a sign that the child will not be in a position to develop into a normal person. One of the greatest fears of a parent with such a child is the fact that such a child would be taken care of until the advanced stages of their lives. It is not only a burden to such parents but also a discouragement. They have no hope of bringing up such a child for they know that such a child will forever need their attention. Most parents expect that their children will be of help to them at their advanced stage of life. (Chantal, 2004). Another problem that always comes with this disorder is the loss of self-esteem in the entire family. The realization that a child is suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorders spells a melancholic mood that would last as long as the child is still alive. The feeling that part of the family is abnormal becomes so strong that it may not be ignored. In some instances, parents have considered dumping such children. Those who are considerate enough take them to homes or any other places where they can be adopted. The Way Forward The parents who decide to stay with such children are always with strong character. Such a family needs to be offered proper counseling in order to manage stress that comes with the knowledge that one of their children is suffering from this syndrome. They need to be encouraged to know that their family condition is just as normal as any other family. This wou
A report released in 2003 by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that even the youngest children have experience with video games. The report indicated that 49 percent of children aged 0 to 6 years have a video game player in their home, while 10 per cent have a video game console in their bedroom (Vorderer & Bryant, 2012, 23). Thirty percent of young children have played video games, including per cent 35 of children aged less than two years. Although game playing is less common among children this age than using other media, 50 percent of children aged 4 to 6 years play video games, and on a typical day, 16 percent of these children play video games for not less than an hour (Vorderer & Bryant, 2012, 23). Among boys this age, 9 per cent play video games on a daily basis (Vorderer & Bryant, 2012, 23). Playing video games has become a popular leisure activity. Most importantly, children across the globe have abandoned traditional outdoor games and have resorted to playing video games. A number of children sociologists and developmental biologists argue that the shift from traditional outdoor game to video games in children has various negative effects on the development of children. Children should not be allowed to spend too much time playing video games for many reasons, three of which are that it affects their health, their behavior, and their life. According to Griffiths (2005, 122) playing video games has significant negative health effects on young children and adolescents. Various case studies have indicated that epileptic individuals who are photosensitive are likely to suffer epileptic seizures when playing video games (Griffiths, 2005, 123). These studies have highlighted that seizures are likely to occur in games that have rapid scene changes and those with patterns of highly intense repetition and flickering. In addition, other studies have revealed that video game playing can cause “auditory hallucinations, enuresis, encopresis, wrist pain, neck pain, elbow pain, tenosynovitis, hand arm vibration syndrome, repetitive strain injuries, peripheral neuropathy, and obesity” (Griffiths 2005, 23). Another study conducted by Vandewater, Shim and Caplovitz (2004, 73) endeavored to determine the relationship between playing videogames and obesity. The study conducted by these researchers found out there is a strong connection between playing video games and the development of obesity in those children who played video games frequently. The study noted that children who spend more time in sedentary activities lead to increased weight status (Vandewater, Shim & Caplovitz, 2004, 73). Not only do video games affect children’s health, but also
Ideas on Free Will Free will has become the subject for reflection of numerous outstanding philosophers, who have affected the worldview of thousands of followers. Their understanding of this phenomenon differs due to the epochs they lived in and personal convictions. This paper will present the ideas of Aristotle and Lucretius through the prism of comparing and contrasting their opinions. Aristotle believes that free will is a combination of all voluntary actions. He draws the line between voluntary and involuntary doings claiming that everything influenced by an inward desire of an individual is a voluntary action while everything done under the outward will of others or from ignorance is considered involuntary. In addition to it, if a person limits his or her actions by emotions or social norms, they are also involuntary (“Aristotle” 4). Lucretius, on the other hand, views free will compare it to the movement of atoms. The philosopher says that every action having place under the influence of the external force is not a free will, which comes from the inner desire and motivation of an individual (“Lucretius” 18). To sum up, both Aristotle and Lucretius agree that free will is always linked to a person’s inward desire instead of outward request or order. They also agree that there are no occasions, which would turn involuntary action into a voluntary one because only individuals determine what is better for them. Both authors view free will studying the laws of nature. However, Lucretius compares it to the movement of atoms, which is impossible to alter in response to one’s desire, while Aristotle focuses on the rules adopted by human society and the phenomena of power and authority. Analysis of Logan’s Run Most people agree with Plato, who believes that the picture of the world is determined by an individuals’ personal experience. This notion was developed in his allegory of the cave. The central idea is the existence of the cave full of fettered people, whose heads are fixed forward and who cannot get out of it because they are imprisoned forever. All they can see is the casting of shadows on the walls of the cave. These shadows become the foundation for perceiving reality. However, Plato raises the question: what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to escape? Evidently, the real world and bright light of the sun would astonish him because he would not believe that e
One of the most deserving discussions of topics related to the history of the struggle of the African American people for their dignity, identity and human rights is not even their protest actions or the difficulties they experienced. It would be interesting to focus on those practices that characterize African Americans as a single people with close inner ties and spiritual traditions. Family ties and religious beliefs are two themes that are particularly important in this context. Perhaps it was due to empathic giving in the family and spiritual circle that African Americans in the 19th century received hope and strength to fight further. Religious movements among African Americans in the second half of the 19th century expressed their desire to separate from the white man’s Christian church. African American Protestantism is expressed in the need to find your true Christian god. But in doing so, the black missionary movements and Protestant black churches of the 1880s gave blacks independence and full self-government (White et al., 2016). Men and women divided positions in such a way that it worked for the harmonious construction of a small society. Within the African American church movement, not only education and basic social values ​​developed, but also real political life. Thus, church life for the African American people became the focus of both domestic and public life, strengthening and improving their unity. The church institution in this context seems to be inextricably linked with the family institution, so that the spiritual forces given by the church helped the liberated families to cope with external difficulties. As a result of poverty, hunger and the constant need to relocate in search of work, the African American family has become both stronger and more flexible as a unit. Family ties could be broken for various social reasons, for example, the military, African Americans could even acquire new family ties. Economic needs expanded families by virtue of the need for unification and cooperation, changing concepts such as family and unity. Work Cited White, D. G., Bay. M., & Martin Jr., W. E. (2016).
