The USA has come though many different periods of time which are characterized by various situations and events. Still, it is possible to state that he problem of immigration has always been crucial for the country. The USA government has always tried to solve the problem of immigration and citizenship. The number of policies and acts which focus on this issue is one of the main ways US government tried to solve the problem. Naturalization Act of 1790 was one of the first documents which tried to regulate the process of immigration and citizenship by means of stating strong requirements and limitations on those who wanted to get US citizenship and get rid of the immigrant label. Generally, the situation was as follows, there were many immigrants and they wanted to struggle for their rights. The idea of citizenship was the central. Therefore, the Naturalization Act of 1790 was necessary, but those who demanded for regulation of the procedure of the US citizenship could not imagine that the document was going to be too limited prejudiced. Before dwelling upon the Naturalization Act of 1790, it should be stated that the slavery was not abolished when the act was accepted, but it moved to the South more, leaving the North American black people more freedom. Thus, the Naturalization Act of 1790 was accepted with the purpose to regulate immigration and the procedure of the citizenship. Considering the document under discussion, it is important to say that it cannot be called the liberal one as a lot of restrictions and the cases of discrimination were noticed there. Thus, the citizenship could be got by any alien, being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof, on application to any common law court of record, in any one of the States wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such court, that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law, to support the Constitution of the United States.. (Naturalization Act n.p.) However, the main requirement was the belonging to the “white” race. Reading the document, it becomes obvious that it avoids gender discrimination. Thus, stating the word “person”, the document creators allow women to have the US citizenship. The point is rather strange as remembering the gender relations of that time, men were dominating even though the cases of business women took place. One more significant fact was devoted to children born abroad and here the gender discrimination remains. Thus, those children who were born abroad could become the citizens of the USA only in case the father was the citizen of the co
According to Ryley and Chapman (2012), climate change refers to the long-term variation in weather patterns that has the possibility of lasting up to one million years. Climate change can occur across different areas on the planet, or may be felt only in specific regions. It is worth to mention that climate change can also be caused by persistent anthropogenic variations in the atmosphere. Zycher (2011) notes that clean energy technology refers to the end-use or energy supply technology that has the ability to generate lower levels of green house gases or pollutants in a given lifecycle. The amount of liquid or solid toxic wastes generated by a clean technology should also be minimal. This paper explains the influence of climate change on the demand and development of clean energy technologies and how clean energy technology is likely to impact the current global economic situation. In addition, the essay discusses the US position in the development of clean energy and the impact of this technology on the US economy. The historical record of climate change reveals that climate undergoes natural variations that largely depend on the time scale. Moreover, it is vital to note that factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in solar radiation as well as the massive industrial revolution of the modern age have been identified as major elements that worsen climate change. The current climate changes being experienced in different parts of the world cannot be understood well by relying only on the natural causes. These researchers believe that warming can be understood well by exploring the various human activities. There is a high likelihood of attaining either success or failure in all the operations that entail the management and control of climate change menace. For instance, the process of statistical analysis of data obtained from a scientific process may significantly determine the success rate of the end result since there are myriads of limitations that can be encountered. However, the introduction of climate change science has facilitated the creation of an interdisciplinary approach that can be used to gain a better understanding of the environment (Cahill & Durham, 2012). The current views on climate change in the US mainly focus on the importance of developing effective measures of controlling climate change that has been consistently witnessed in the region for a very long time. Quite a number of Americans have raised their concerns to the relevant authorities indicating their level of understanding together with the required urgency for addressing climate action. There are no views from Americans supporting climate change in the US because most of them believe that climate change is not helpful in any way (Dettinger, 2011). The Americans believe that embarking on climate action has benefits to both the environment and the US economy. Failing to address climatic changes poses serious risks and threats to plant and animal species as well as the livelihoods of the people. Based on these facts, it is important to create or develop strategies that can help deal with climate ch
Introduction The Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) is one of two Islamic banks in the UAE, the other one being the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank. DIB is a sharia-compliant institution with approximately US$40 billion in assets and with an employee strength of more than 8,000, serving the different parts of the UAE and other areas in Asia and the Middle East ( Dubai Islamic Bank , 2016). From its humble beginnings in 1975, DIB has grown into an international organization, providing customers banking needs with flexibility, change, and modernity, and serving as one of more than 400 institutions that meet Islamic banking and finance needs worldwide, particularly in the UAE ( Dubai Islamic Bank , 2016). In 2013, DIB had more than 40 branches throughout the UAE and has been expanding ever since (Al-Tamimi & Al-Amiri, 2013). Its vision is to be at the forefront in Islamic banking and finance and its mission is for improvement and growth coupled with excellent customer service, positive innovation, and an unmatched employee career development program ( Dubai Islamic Bank , 2016). The Sharia Supervisory Board, which is composed of experts in Islamic law and other relevant aspects of Islamic banking and finance, supervises the operations of the bank and provides innovative solutions for finance and banking services and also issues “fatawa” for operational guidance. Sharia auditors are working to provide an internal audit ( Dubai Islamic Bank , 2016). DIB is known in the industry as people-oriented, which means it has fostered employee development and promotion of human capital. Training and development are some of the key activities to optimize employees’ performance. Training and development issues DIB’s training department encompasses all its branches. Employees with a talent for leadership and a passion for service are enjoined to participate in the training program. DIB has to find and mold leaders from the current pool of employees by way of a talent management program known as the High Potential Employee Program, which is one of the initiatives of an HRD scheme known as Masdar. The program aims to train and mold corporate leaders, enhance career opportunities, and help support the bank’s fast growth ( Albawaba business , 2015). High Potential Employee Program identifies and develops potential employees who show dedication and passion for work and the necessary traits to become future leaders. The goal is to ensure that these employees are given the appropriate support and training to expose their leadership skills and to enhance personal growth and organizational performance. DIB, through CEO Adnan Chilwan, recognizing the employees’
Introduction Fascism by definition refers to a philosophy which seeks to ensure that the interests of the society always supersede those of the individual. The ideology of fascism advocates for a state that is ruled by a single party which is meant to mobilise people through all means acceptable and unacceptable to ensure that the roots of the society are not drained. While fascism is rooted from socialism, the approach taken is one of capitalism where force and violence is used to achieve what is targeted. Fascism must be distinguished from socialism whereby socialism was seeking total control of all the processes of economy in the society by ensuring that production is state controlled (Trotsky 340). Fascism on the other hand has always taken control though indirectly by ensuring that private owners dominate the processes of economy in the country. While fascism is concept that came to be many years ago, there seem to be merging modern examples of fascist thought. This discussion looks at some of the contemporary examples of fascist thoughts and also the limits and freedoms of such expressions. Nazi Germany Though it happened many years ago Nazi Germany is a perfect example of fascism (Griffiths 145). While the interests of the people were always kept first, the manner in which these interests were achieved was quite wanting especially because there was a lot of violence and force that was applied. During the time of Hitler, power was acquired gradually without the need for an uprising or protests and this is what makes fascism dangerous. In modern day, a perfect example of fascism would be leftism or what has come to be known as left wing politics. This is where change that is social in nature is advocated for with the aim of coming up with a society that is egalitarian. Leftism, pretty much like fascism is driven by emotions which were negative like anger, range and violence and all these negative emotions are directed to the status quo (Mosse 354). Modern fascism like leftism is geared towards changing the status quo or the position held by conservatists. It is the manner in which leftist apply their ideology that is questionable (Mussolini 76). Al Qaeda Looking at the Al Qaeda group which was pioneered by their fallen hero Osama Bin Laden may also reveal traits of modern fascism. Osama had a good cause for which he was fighting for and this was the protection of Islamic rights. However, it is the manner in which he carried out his mission that was wanting. He used terrorist’s attacks which led to the death of many people and led to the destruction of property. Modern day fascism is frowned upon leading to modern day fascists changing their tactics and strategy. Conclusion Fascist’s expressions have their limits in that they tend to curtain the general freedom of the people by sort of dictating to the people what they ought to and how they ought to behave (Breuilly 97). These expressions however have their fair share of freedom in that the person leading such movements is always a charismatic leader one who is liked by the people he is representing. Fascism therefore is a double edged sword which can hurt
Summary The Shawshank Redemption is a story written by Stephen King. Its film adaptation was directed by Frank Darabont. It is about prison life and the relationships between prisoners and their guards. Red, Andy Dufresne, and Samuel Norton are the main characters in this film. They engage in illegal activities to survive and even the tough prison guards are forced to collaborate with inmates to smuggle goods. Other prisoners die in this correctional facility, but Andy Dufresne escapes from prison and leaves everybody surprised while his long-term friend dies. Red was released and followed Andy in Mexico. Characters Red is the main character in the movie. He is an entrepreneur because he makes prison guards and inmates his closest friends to learn various issues from them ( The Shawshank Redemption ). In addition, he does not want to be controlled and believes that he should lead others; therefore, he did not give others chances to control his life because they would humiliate him no matter how good he tries to be. He was the key player in the smuggling business, he earned while in prison by supplying prisoners with almost everything they wanted. However, this was done at a fee that was used as a reward for his genius skills of smuggling goods into prison ( The Shawshank Redemption ). For instance, the hammer that Andy Dufresne used to break the prison wall and escape was smuggled by Red. This is a business skill that made sure he was paid for his services. He combined his hard work and good memory to locate the stone wall that hid an invitation letter to Mexico and money from Andy. Successful businessmen should be like Andy and have the ability to remember events, people, and places. A good entrepreneur should be unpredictable and secretive and Andy Dufresne meets these requirements, and this makes the prison guards and other inmates believe that he is stupid. This skill is used by businessmen to develop strategies to compete with others. Nobody knew that one day Andy would escape from prison. In addition, his silence confused other inmates who thought that he was incapable of planning to smuggle goods into prison and then escaping without being noticed ( The Shawshank Redemption ). He was a banker, and his financial skills were his greatest tools to manipulate prison guards and other inmates. He offered Byron Hadley solutions that enabled him to evade taxation on his money. His expertise in economics helped Samuel Norton to conduct illegal businesses without being noticed. He used his skills as bait to make prison guards and inmates respect him and seek his services; therefore, this ensured nobody interfered with his plans to escape from prison. He knew h
Shi and Singh (2008:57) have proposed that managed care is not positioned to work in Medicare. Managed care is a set of parameters that include health financing, insurance, service delivery, and payments. Healthcare is built on the aspect of curative rather than preventive strategies. Managed care doesn’t address predisposing factors to causes of diseases. For instance, while research work is seeking management of cancer, the government provides subsidies to the tobacco industry. This predisposes conflict of interest and is fueled by the existence of political rhetoric trait that undermines the sustainability of managed care. The sustainability of managed care is negatively affected by a core belief in capitalism as this makes healthcare service like any other by capitalizing on the maximization of profit which needs a turnaround. As a result, managed care is under threat from possible conflict of interest between the insurance and health care service delivery. This is due to consideration of service delivery as a function of price charged (Shi & Singh, 2008:56-64). Managed care has adopted the market value subject to cost control aspects, choice restrictions, and case management which have shifted managed care from public regulation to private regulation (Hellinger, 1998:835). This has witnessed a shift from public planning into corporate planning. In this respect, managed care strives to achieve the values of bringing in returns on investment. This burdens persons who are not insured as it introduces the element of corruption and lack of basic health benefits. Better strategies are required in case management. Managed care does not achieve the aspect of equity but fuels healthcare as an element of opportunity hence is not likely to seem to work in Medicare. There should be equity in managed care (White, 2009).
Mastectomy is a medical term referring to the surgical removal of one breast to treat breast cancer. One breast is removed in order to prevent the subsequent spread of cancerous cells (Bartle-Haring & Lal, 2010). Mastectomy has serious emotional as well as psychological effects on both the patient and her relations, especially her husband. Hoskins (1995) provides that mastectomy greatly affects marital function. In a mastectomy, the loss of a breast which many women see as erogenous makes a woman experience indifference towards her sexuality. This further affects her sexual intimacy with her partner. This essay seeks to critically analyze the literature review on mastectomy and its effects on marital function. Problems arising from mastectomy and impacts on relationships and marriage Mastectomy is traumatizing. Emotional trauma resulting from mastectomy is more than the physical trauma associated with this condition. This is because the woman’s recovery is affected by how her husband or partner responds to her predicament (Lewis, 2004). This evidently shows that mastectomy affects a couple’s marital relationship. It is also important to note that husbands of women who have had a mastectomy are also affected. This is because the husband has to deal with the fact that his wife has one breast. Though the reactions to this fact vary, there is a common trend that has been witnessed in the majority of husbands whose wives have undergone mastectomy. Goldzweig & Andritsch (2010) provide that it is apparent that a husband suffers psychological distress in the event of a mastectomy. The husband first reacts to the absence of one breast. The experience is quite difficult especially when he sees a scar in place of a full breast. This is one of the biggest negative effects of mastectomy as most husbands become withdrawn and avoid their wives. In most cases a husband is normally confused and does not know how to approach the issue due to psychological shock (Pierce, Sherman & Sheridan, 2010). Though there are husbands who take the whole experience positively, a large number of them experience a hard time. To effectively understand the impact of mastectomy, two theoretical perspectives have been used. The first theory is the systems theory and the other is t
Introduction Inside of a computer there is Central Processing Unit which has Arithmetic Logic Unit. The Arithmetic Logic Unit uses some program. This Arithmetic Logic Unit is enclosed inside a very strong container and is used to store or memorize pieces of information for later use. Therefore Programming is central to the success of goal planning in many organizations. Over the years, organizational activity planning has progressed from heavily manual to highly sophisticated and interactive machine language. This has made planning not only fast, but also easy and more effective. Machine use in activity planning has often been referred to as programming. Computers are the most instrumental programming machines as they play host to several programming languages; from the most basic to the most sophisticated and from the very simple and static programs to the highly complex and dynamic ones. These languages and many more have succeeded in granting cost effective solut
In a school setting, being an analyst may be challenging due to difficulties associated with ethical issues. In particular, the American Psychological Association (APA) identifies several general principles and ten sections to describe possible cases and the ways to successfully resolve them (American Psychological Association, 2010). The code of conduct proposed by APA may affect the introduction of behavior modification principles by engaging both counselors and students in the process of behavior analysis and the subsequent positive change. As stated by Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) (n.d.), the applied behavior analysis approach considers the very essence of human actions, focusing on the role of circumstances and their impact on personality. At the same time, Cloninger (2013) argues that personality and behavior are closely intertwined with each other and they may significantly impact one another. In the context of a school, the mentioned approach is useful to understand students’ behaviors and adjust them, if required. The identification and treatment of mental health issues in schools may benefit from the applied behavior analysis. According to Harvey, Luiselli, and Wong (2009), the given approach presents the opportunity of creating a professional team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and other related experts to assist children with mental disorders, focusing on their cultural peculiarities. The application of the specified approach seems to benefit them in learning, communication, and relationship building (Harvey et al., 2009). It is essential to emphasize that behavior shapes personality as one of the key elements unique to every child. Since education plays a critical role in personality establishment, behaviors associated with learning cannot be overestimated (Cloninger, 2013). Social differences, beliefs, and cultures compose an integral part of personality shaping, and their presence is inextricably linked with learning. The given School Psychologist – Based Personality and Behavior Assessment Scenario is a valuable and relevant tool to evaluate behavior changes in students, especially when they show declining academic performance or problems with discipline. As stated by Kosher, Jiang, Ben-Arieh, and Huebner (2014), school psychologists need to be aware of available assessment options and able to interpret their results. The mentioned scenario provides the possibili
