Introduction Even though 3D printing is a relatively young sphere overall, its impact on different areas of human life cannot be underestimated. For the first time, 3D printing was mentioned during the 1980s when Hideo Kodama applied for a patent in the area of rapid prototyping (Bangeas et al. 513). The industrial knowledge and experience allowed him to gain more insight into how prototypes should be created in order to contribute to industrial products and achieve a higher level of quality of different merchandise. The patent was not registered initially, causing Charles Hull to take the lead and get another patent issued for stereolithography apparatus technology (Hull 27). The concept of 3D printing was practically cofounded by Hull, as his contribution revolved around technological advancement and the probability of coming up with prototypes that could be worth some reasonable investments. Selective laser sintering became one of the predecessors of modern 3D printing. During the 1990s, the industry picked up more pace and started focusing much more on fused deposition modeling as well. This techno
Executive Summary This report traces its origin in the fact that the Brazilian tourism industry has evolved and witnessed significant changes in the formulation and implementation of tourism policies. Based on a periodic assessment of these policies, this report acknowledges that ineffective policies, lack of agency coordination, and authoritarian planning processes stifled the Brazilian tourism industry. However, evidence shows that this trend has changed. The Brazilian tourism industry is now flourishing from a decentralised planning structure that effectively addresses local tourism issues. Current policy frameworks are also more inclusive and consultative. This way, there is more stakeholder involvement in the planning process. This trend mirrors global dynamics in the tourism industry because many countries are democratising their policy development frameworks. Eco-tourism and value addition needs are some tenets that Brazil’s policy frameworks share with the rest of the world. The country’s improved tourism status and the expanding contribution of the sector to the South American economy therefore prompt this paper to affirm that Brazil’s tourism planning and policy intervention processes have addressed the problems faced by the sector. Introduction The Brazilian tourism sector is important to the economy of Brazil and other South American nations. The country receives more than 5,000,000 tourists annually (Blanke & Chiesa 2011). The high tourist numbers have elevated Brazil to the status of a top tourist destination, not only in Latin America, but also in the wider South American region. Lohmann (2012) says Brazil is the second most desirable destination in South America and the third most visited destination in the wider Latin America tourism belt (only Argentina and Mexico surpass it in this regard). Based on these positive rankings, it is unsurprising for Lohmann (2012) to say the country receives more than US$5, 000,000 billion annually, from tourism. The 2011 travel and tourism competitiveness index ranked Brazil the 52 nd most competitive tourist destination in the world (Blanke & Chiesa 2011). This position elevated Brazil to be the third most competitive tourist destination in South America (only surpassed by Costa Rica and Mexico). Brazil has a strong competitive edge because of its abundant natural resources. Its rich cultural heritage also supports the tourism market, as it attracts millions of tourists every year (Blanke & Chiesa 2011). The country is also home to different world heritage sites. As described above, many analysts have identified natural resources and cultural enrichment as the main drivers for Brazil’s tourism industry. However, an und
Unwritten arrangements and oral contracts are usually legal and lawfully binding on the condition that they are rational, unbiased, conscionable, and made in upright belief. Even though the major part of individuals links contracts with authorized documents reproduced on paper with a determination of delivering them to legal officials to sign and imprint them, the thing is that only a small number of categories of contracts are obligated by the law to be written (Penner, 2014). The cause why spoken contracts and oral arrangements are repeatedly looked suspiciously upon is that they have a tendency to arise complications when it comes to the implementation. Contracts that are plainly inscribed and implemented are easier to present as evidence in law court than the testament of the pledged parties. It is as well stimulating to dismiss contract flaws when they are not written. When verbal contracts are reviewed in court, there is constantly a risk of one of the sides being dishonest about the footings of the contract (Williston, Currier, & Hill, 2012). Sometimes, all sides of the contract may select to be deceitful about the terms of the bond and thus produce a lawful stalemate for the judges. In the case described, the contract is an arrangement between the two parties to deliver a product (car in this example) that is totally lawful. There are fundamentally six basics of a contract that make it lawful and binding (Penner, 2014). The contract reviewed in the example is a lawful contract for the reason that there are present all six elements:  1. A proposal that precisely details what will be provided and is comprehended by both sides of the contract (Williston et al., 2012). The salesperson provided Jim and Laura with all the necessary information about the car that they were about to buy.  2. Mutua
A brief case summary Tom Parker performs the duty of a field technician and coordinator at Arctic Mining Consultants. His work involves training, supervising and hiring field assistants who receive fairly low wedges despite the hard work that they do. In this case, Parker managed a project involving three team members. The project was done in Alaska, near Eagle Lake. John Talbot, Brian Miller and Greg Boyce had a duty of staking 15 claims by marking a line using flagging tape. Due to the requirement of 60 lines overall, the four team members were to complete seven or more each day. The team members came up with a work plan courtesy of Parker. He however was not happy when Boyce and Miller failed to work within the plan. He occasionally insulted Miller who seemed to be so slow. The work was not even completed within seven days as planned and miller left the sight so demoralized. He has never worked for the company again. Symptoms Parker assumed that all the members were capable of completing the claims as per the plan without allowing every member to have their arguments. He did not respond well to his subjects when they presented their evening reports. In day four, Parker grunted uncommunicatively when the members reported their production instead of even congratulating them for the hard work they did. He did not understand the need for team work hence he forced Millar to work at the same pace as other team members instead of using them to build him. Parker did not have time to talk to his members on their progress but expected more from them. Parker worked together with his members but treated them as though he was more powerful than them. Whenever Millar failed to complete his work as per the plan, the project manager shouted at him portraying unfair discrimination. Miller could not understand why Parker did not do the same to Boyce who also failed to meet the target. In day 8, Parker did ten and quarter lengths while his colleague, Miller, only did five. He ought to have worked together with Miller in order to discover where the problem was and solve it. Boyce and Talbot on the other hand also teamed up to complete their work leaving Millar alone when the whole project was for them. The assistants had a low morale as shown by Millar in day eight when he thought he could not manage five posts as per the requirements. He knew he would receive insults from Parker even if he did six lengths or seven and a half. As a result of low morale he opted to go for lunch instead of completing his job. They worked so hard and got a low wedge even though they were promised a bonus which was hard to come by. Millar also had a low morale because Parker blamed him for the team’s failure to reach the target. Problem analysis There was no motivation among the
Introduction In the field of modern psychology, there are many ways to help people deal with their emotional problems, personal concerns, and other challenges that may change the quality of life. The goal of a counselor is not only to analyze a situation, but also focus on actors, and investigate their problems. A successful resolution of conflicts is a complex process that requires a number of steps to be taken. During this module, the two books by the same author turn out to be the main readings. Arnold Mindell discussed the basics of conflict resolution, the worth of diversity, and leadership in his Sitting in the Fire and The Leader as Martial Artist . The chosen chapters enhance the possibilities of counselors to work in groups and identify their obligations at different stages of a process. Along with the evaluation of diversity and ranks in human behaviors and personal reflection, this essay will include the discussion of conflict causes and their main characteristics to understand what skills matter in conflict resolution. Classification That Matters Human relationships may be challenged by diverse reasons, and each situation has to be evaluated in a particular context. In his book, Mindell (2014) said that the potential power of communities is enormous. Many ways to be heard, understood, and followed are available to people, including riots, revolutions, or other examples of civil disobedience (Mindell, 2014). As a result, multiple conflicts emerge and determine human behaviors. Governments take some steps to regulate such situations in society, but there are also personal cases when a small group of people has to recognize and solve their problems. According to Mindell (2014), inner problems, local issues, and international issues are interrelated in process-oriented psychology. It is not enough to find a conflict situation, but it is important to understand its reasons, possible consequences, and effects on people. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish and analyze ranks as a type of drug that provides people with power. Skin color, gender, sexual orientation, education, religion, profession, and expertise are the factors of conflicts (Mindell, 2014). These
Introduction ‘The Tale of Genji’ is an ancient Japanese literature work written by Murasaki Shikibu. The story line is a clear indicator of an aristocratic society that has its members falling in love with classiness. It displays the individuals as models of elegance and culture. It talks about Genji, the son of one emperor who had reigned from his middle age and climbed up the ladder of influence and rank (Shikibu Murasaki 7). While reviewing ‘The Tale of Genji’, one main theme that emerges is the theme of love and interaction between men and women. This theme is an illustration of how relationships at the emperor’s court (in Japan) were working nealry a thousand years ago. Within the story, there are various instances of romantic interactions with women from different ranks and appearances. This paper explores the different instances where the theme of love, lust and interactions of opposing sexes as they appear in the book. Discussion In attaining both emotional and physical maturity, Genji would spend time composing poems in order to show his affection for women. However, most of the women that he interacted with were aware that no serious form of relationship would occur between them and Genji. On the other hand, they would at times admit that they also had love feeling for him. His affairs were dynamic in that he slept with women from in and out of the court. For an individual of his rank, his sexual habits were scandalous and would therefore opt to keep it secret. In the book, Genji falls in love with even women who come from a lower rank. This heavily disappoints the grand ladies at the court. Despite the ladies’ beauty and class, Genji strives to keep it a secret. The secret however are constantly disclosed and every person at the court becomes aware that the emperor loves a certain lady at the different scenarios. The end result is that the royal co-wives from the higher social station become frustrated and frequently speak against the emperor’s new love. With time, the new ladies’ continue to move out with the emperor and give birth of Genji’s children (Shikibu Murasaki 17-32). In chapter two of the book, Genji and his wife live in Sanjo at the house of his father- in law. Despite having a wife, Genji frequently strays away from her to have affairs with other women. Despite his wife’s unhappiness about the promiscuity at the court, he continues to explore the world of women. Genji constantly sleeps with new women and spares very little time for Sanjo. In his friendship with To no Chujo, the Right’s Minister, the author displays the two discussing about exceptional qualities of an excellent woman. This is an indicator of how the two individuals are obsessed with women as depicted in the Tale of Genji. They continue to talk at length about their past relationships with women. This shows that they had an inhere
The Character Strength Profile allowed me to get a deeper insight into my strengths and weaknesses as a student and a future professional. By realizing what my signature, middle, and lesser strengths are, I will be able to focus on the enhancement of existing assets and developing those that I currently lack. According to the profile results, my major strengths are honesty, kindness, spirituality, love of learning, and gratitude. My middle strengths include perspective, fairness, perseverance, hope, forgiveness, self-regulation, teamwork, judgment, humility, social intelligence, prudence, love, humor, and curiosity. Finally, my lesser strengths are leadership, appreciation of beauty and excellence, zest, creativity, and bravery. Each of these groups of strengths bears significance both for my present and future development. When going forward with my education, the most important thing is to make the best out of the strengths I already possess and utilize them to promote my skills and knowledge. I find each of the five signature strengths singled out by the profile highly crucial. Love of learning is probably the most important feature to discuss at this point since it determines my attitude toward gaining knowledge and operating it successfully in the future. I think that love of learning is an important characteristic because, without it, one merely studies the material without being passionate about it. Meanwhile, being truly dedicated to one’s future profession makes one more confident about the selected area of study. Gratitude is another significant feature since it enables people to realize how much good they receive from others, be it a favor or a piece of knowledge shared. Therefore, I am planning to utilize my love of learning and gratitude in my further educational endeavors so as to determine the most crucial information related to my profession and to be thankful to those who pay an effort to give knowledge to m
What relationship exists between religion, morality, and ethics? Religion is best defined as a system of faith. Therefore, morality or ethics is an effort to attain an understanding of human values. It creates objectives and measures actions by the level they enhance these objectives. For instance, if happiness is truly an objective, then the resultant action which creates the highest level of happiness is the correct one. In religious studies, from the book of revelation, people are pooled to a certain understanding of the kind of human norms. It includes how people are supposed to live as well as what makes correct behavior. These teachings and others are examples found in the bible. It can be noted that while the secular individual who desires to live ethically and the religious individual who desires to conduct himself using the mutual code could perform good actions to attain the same good and valuable goals, their inspiration is different. Religious people honor their code of conduct since they believe that it is the best conduct and response to the variable encounters and situations which emanate in the course of living. What are potential results if members of a community accept their community’s benefits, such as emergency services or school systems, but decline to contribute to the community beyond paying taxes? There are far-reaching repercussions for the members of a community who accept their community benefits such as emergency services and school systems but refuse to contribute to the community beyond paying taxes. Most of the benefits that trickle down to the communities from various levels come from the taxes that the community members contribute to bolstering social and economic services. A community that pays its taxes well and on time will enjoy better services from the government than the one that fails to play this role. Therefore, failure to pay taxes will lead to a total reduction of such services within the community which is quite detrimental. Legal and ethical issues can arise in any organization. How might these issues be different? What sort of relationship exists between the two? Legal and ethical issues arising in an organization are often different. Legal issues related to what should be done according to the laid legal frameworks. Ethical issues, on the other hand, relate to the good or bad that the services a particular organization’s operations impact on the immediate society. The tight relationship between the two is that legal and ethical considerations lead to the success or failure of an organization within a certain locality. For instance, the BP oil spill in the gulf is a story that captured attention since it led to environmental pollution which is considered une
Introduction Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems constitute one of the fundamental psychological theories that explain forces and factors that influence individuals’ growth and development in society. This theory’s primary assumption is that children’s development in society is subject to interrelationships between and within their social systems. This theory elucidates that individuals live in society under the influence of five environments at micro-, meso-, exo-, macro-, and chrono-levels (Agosto et al., 2017). These environmental systems play a critical role in psychology since different social factors and forces influence children’s development. Given that social systems vary from one culture or society to another, it implies that children in the Western and Arabian contexts experience different forces in their social systems. Understanding cultural contexts is integral in applying this theory to elucidate psychological forces or factors that affect children’s development. From this perspective, this essay examines the cross-cultural construct of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems by explaining its relevance and comparing its application in Western and Arabian contexts. Significance of the Cross-Cultural Construct Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems have great significance to childhood development because it expounds on factors that affect them in society. As children grow and develop, they experience diverse social forces that shape their lives. As a cross-cultural construct, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory explains how diverse social systems affect children at various levels of relationships (Agosto et al., 2017). This theory holds that child development is a product of relationships between and within diverse social systems. Social forces operating in the immediate and expansive environments determine the development of children in society. In this view, Urie Bronfenbrenner classified social environments in which individuals live in five progressive levels: microsystem, mesosystem, ecosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem (Agosto et al., 2017). The microsystem is the most impactful level because it forms an immediate environment where individuals live and develop. It comprises family, religious institutions, school, peers, neighborhood, daycare facility, and hospital since every child should interact with these social institutions during their childhood. Values, doctrines, norms, and ethics espoused by these social institutions at the microsystem have a marked impact on shaping children’s development through into their adulthood. As relationships in the microsystem are bidirectional, a child can influence other children in different social units. The second level of social interaction forms the mesosystem, where social units of microsystems interconnect and int
Case Study Ann Hobbes is a girl of 26 years old. She is an African American and lives in New York, USA. Now Ann works as a waitress in a restaurant. She wants to change her job, but she has not an appropriate education because she had problems while studying at school, and later she resisted to enter the college. Ann’s colleagues do not like to work with Ann because there are many conflicts with the clients and administration during those days when she works. Ann was brought up in a poor family which lived in a small town in Texas. Ann never had real friends because the society of the town discriminated the commune of the African Americans in different ways, and those children who studied at school with Ann refused to communicate with the girl and even abused her physically. Thus, a young girl used to demonstrate the violent behavior toward the other children, and she also refused to obey the authority at school. Moreover, Ann’s parents did not pay much attention to the girl, and they were not interested in her problems in communication with the other children and adults. Later Ann’s parents refused to interact with Ann as a result of some misunderstanding with her mother. In that situation, Ann tried to commit a suicide at her parents’ eyes, and then she attempted to fire the parents’ house. When Ann moved to New York she changed a lot of workplaces, but she could not build any positive relations with her colleagues and administration. She is inclined to lie to her supervisors and to clients. The changes in her mood can affect the girl’s challengeable behavior when she acts impulsively and can provoke the conflict, abuse the other people, and express the anger. Ann has no friends, and she never had any positive r
