The idea of ‘defamiliarising’ objects and events in order to use them as the topic or the focus for the project work is discussed by Katz as the aspects of the Reggio Emilia approach is based on the project work the topics for which are traditionally taken from the children’s daily experience and surroundings (Katz, 1998). The process of ‘defamiliarising’ everyday objects can be defined as the process of ‘unpacking’ these objects, paying much attention to their qualities, particular features, characteristics, unexpected qualities, and all the levels of usability (Katz, 1998). The main issue which is associated with the Reggio Emilia approach is the appropriateness of using the project work with references to the graphic languages for children of 3-6 years. These projects are presented as the extended in-depth investigations (Katz, 1998). They are controlled by teachers, but the work of children is organised in such a way to give them more independence. Traditionally, the early children educators concentrate on the children’s verbal expressions of their feelings, ideas, and thoughts with references to the play (Rinaldi, Dahlberg, & Moss, 2006). However, the educators who support the Reggio Emilia approach pay attention to the fact that children are able to present their ideas using a lot of graphic languages and participating in the project work. Children can rethink their real-life experiences with the he
Introduction In every organization, strategic staffing process is vital as it helps an organization in identifying and addressing the staffing implications of their respective business strategies and plans. Over the past decade, the issue of promotion barriers in the workplace has been a critical one. Although considerable effort has been put to promote equality in the workplace, gender inequalities remains a major issue in many organizations. In strategic staffing, breaking the glass ceiling has been the main concern in human resource management. Although many organizations have been promoting equity in their practices, there still remain obstacles for some groups of employees to occupy upper posts in an organization. As a result, many qualities and performing employees have been denied upper positions despite of the fact that they have the necessary qualifications for such positions. This has also denied organizations the chance to benefit from the expertise of such individuals. Employees’ productivity has also decreased as a result of lack of motivation. Problem Statement Over the recent past, there have been a growing number of women entering into the workforce occupying various positions. For instance, a significant number of women have entered into careers in professions where they occupy various positions. Despite the fact that the ratio of the women I workforce is becoming increasingly big, the issue of gender inequality remains a problem that requires an urgent solution. It is important to mark that unsettled, the given issue poses a great threat to the women employment, because women will be discouraged, which may affect their performance in their duties. Employees’ motivation plays a significant role in determining the productivity levels. By practicing gender discrimination in the work place, women employees will be discouraged and consequently perform poorly in their responsibilities. This has threatened the performance of many organizations both in the long and short run. It is also important to mention that discrimination in the workplace is also often based on racial differences. For instance, a white supervisor may discriminate against the black people, basing his/her judgments on the widespread stereotype concerning the black workers’ performance. Both kinds of discrimination have posed a major threat in the modern business and management sphere. The practice has denied employees a chance to advance in career, which results in the stagnation of their skills. Gender Discrimination in Job Promotion As already noted, the issue of gender equality has been one of the major concerns in many organizations despite the increasing number of female employees joining the work force. A number of people have carried out studies on this issue. Over the past years, women have been facing a number of barriers which have bloc
Introduction The contemporary world has seen many scholars developing studies to provide an understanding of the requirements of deaf and hard of hearing children in the development of communication skills. The main goal of the scholars is to ensure that deaf and hard of hearing children have a fair chance to get an education and to develop efficient communication skills through language in written and verbal form for deaf and hard of hearing children, respectively. One of the recurrent findings among the scholars is that most of the deaf children develop effective language and communication skills late in their early childhood development stages, especially when they start learning at the normal age of schooling. It is imperative for deaf and hard of hearing students to be placed in an early intervention program for language and communication skills. Steps in the Program Since the class comprises four students between 2-4 years old, it is apparent that the only objective in learning is to help them develop good language and communication skills through listening and spoken language (Nittrouer, 2016). At this age, it is expected that the children start developing higher cognitive abilities; hence, the first step is to boost their cognitive abilities through different educative plays. The playtime will include building blocks, counting objects, and naming fruits and other objects that are commonly found around the house. Since the children cannot communicate through language, the primary mode of communication will be through simple gestures and mouthing some words. This step will help the children to categorize different objects as they are found in different rooms in the house, and to learn how to pronounce their names. My role in this step is to demonstrate how to build the blocks and how to place the miniature objects in the correct parts of the model house while mouthing the names of the objects. The second step entails the development of social skills while learning a spoken language. This step is also dependent on different forms of play. The main approach in this step is to reinforce the development of cognitive skills while incorporating some social skills in the process (Wang, Spychala, Harris, & Oetting, 2013). For instance, as the children play, they will form teams of two to compete against each other in different games. This will help them to develop unique communication pathways with their peers through sign and spoken language, and it will be instrumental in the development of efficient communication skills in the future. It is imperative for the children to gain the confidence to communicate in their own unique channels and to learn how to construct sentences in their speech. The third step aims at providing the children with the ability to express their personality through art and using the appropriate spoken language in the process. While this is tied to the cognitive development step, it is also ge
Introduction In pursuit of higher profits, people became accustomed to double standards of justice. For a row of business owners, justice occurs only when it does not contradict their financial expectations. However, such a position is not only unjust but it is also utterly unwise since there are many illustrations from human history proving that games with justice do not lead to positive outcomes. The use of fellow human beings in one’s own interests especially when it causes harm to the victims is an extreme violation of justice. The world we have produced is full of inequities, oppression, abuse, misallocation of funds, and malversation. In this manifesto, I aim to focus the attention of public on business owners’ overindulging in the area of environmental security. The current tendency to relocate hazardous manufactures to the areas, where the economically disadvantaged people live, is extremely inappropriate. We must understand that security ignorance to the favor of profit-making i
Introduction USS is a company that was taken over by John Crane which is now the parent company. The company grew from 2.5 million to the current 5.5 million with a run rate of 7.6 million. USS deals with the aftermarket and it operates separately from Crane. USS’s exhibited at 3 shows in the year 2006. Currently, the company exhibits at over 10 different trade shows located within the US only. It is therefore imperative for the company to globalize its operations so that it can venture into the international market. Exploration of the international arena through participating in exhibitions will market the company’s products. The company is bound to be successful through globalization because it manufactures products that are needed in the entire world. The issues of environmental management and utility of natural resources has gained wide recognition in the whole world following the events of global warming. Resources utility is also an important phenomenon in the contemporary world. Since USS is involved in manufacturing equipment that are concerned with the technological environmental and resource utility, the company can gain its market shares thereby increasing the volume of sales of the products. In countries such as Israel, pumps are needed to move water from one area to another since the entire country has localized water resources. Other equipment such as vacuums can be used for cleaning thereby improving the environmental management quality. Trade fair in Tel Aviv The Tel Aviv trade show will take place between 15 th and 17 th of November 2011. The organizers are expecting more than 35 exhibitors. More than 20,000 visitors are expected to attend the exhibition that will be held in an a total area of 7,000 square Meters. Hotels in Tel Aviv are generally average in terms of prizes. There are several 5 star hotels present in the city of Tel Aviv. Some of them include Sadot hotel, Best Western Regency Suites, Artplus Hotel, Melody Hotel, Cinema Hotel, Center Chick Hotel, Dan Tel Aviv Hotel, Hotel Montefiore, Crown Plaza Tel Aviv City Center, City Hotel Tel Aviv, Intercontinental David Tel Aviv, Vital Hotel and Towers, Lusky Suites Hotel and Isrotel tower hotel. The above hotels are a few of the top hotels in the city of Tel Aviv. Most of these hotels are actually most appropriate for business visits. The average price per night ranges from USD$150 to USD$800 depending on the type of services one wants in the hotel facility. One of the cheapest hotels is Leonardo City Tower Hotel whose prize is $158 per night per person. The most expensive hotel in the city, with some of the best facilities, apparently, is the Alexander Suites Hotel. The price per night is up to USD 750. This hotel is actually ranked number 17 for business in Tel Aviv (tripadvisor 2011). This exhibition will feature local and international companies that will sho
Introduction The problem of technological gridlock over the internet has been an increasing concern for the authorities and the future of internet business and usage. The term gridlock indicated a blockage in the transportation network due to over jamming. The technological gridlock has arisen due to excessive internet traffic due to increased usage of multimedia services that creates cyber traffic jams (Robinson, 1999). This is the phenomenon that has been troubling the network administrators as a traffic gridlock has been troubling the city authorities. The question that arises is what this gridlock does to the network and why is it considered a problem. Main body To understand how a gridlock occurs we must understand the flow of internet traffic. Streaming media is similar to broadcast media in that the audio or video material is produced as soon as a computer receives the data over the Internet. The problem is that the streaming data does not respond to network congestion in the way other Internet traffic does. When a computer sends conventional data, it encounters congestion and significantly slows its transmission rate, but a computer sending streaming data will reduce the flow only slightly. So if streaming traffic competes with conventional traffic for the same congested strip of roadway, the streaming traffic, like some V.I.P. motorcade, just assumes the right of way and lets all other data traffic pile up. This causes gridlock on the internet. (Robinson, 1999). What causes such a traffic jam on the internet? The primary reason is, according to Google, the growth in video downloads could create an internet traffic jam that threatens the net’s development (Johnson, 2007). Services that provide a real-time download of data such as YouTube are creating a problem by allowing the download of data that are jamming the network due to increased use. Surfers around the world already use sites such as YouTube to watch videos online, but video file-sharing services are increasing pressure on the internet’s capacity. One of the unwitting culprits is BitTorrent, a technology already used by millions of people to obtain high-quality video over the net. Many people use it to download episodes of US TV series such as Lost, which have yet to be shown in the UK or to see concert footage. Even though the number of users of systems like BitTorrent is not very high, their share of the total internet traffic is around fifty percent (Johnson, 2007). Most of the internet traffic is a peer-to-peer video downloading and without proper infrastructural investme
The Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010) is a program that focuses on promoting health consciousness and disease prevention. This was introduced in 2000 and proposed to conclude by the end of 2010. The main aim of this program is to identify the major threats to people’s health and to ensure necessary preventive steps to encounter these threats. The program has been designed to be initiated on the citizens of Warren Township (Illinois State). On successful implementation of the program in the above township, it will be presented to the Health Department, Illinois as well as to the Ministry of Education (higher education) for implementation throughout the whole state. The department, based on their findings, has recently connected the health nutrition and exercise habits with three main deadly diseases; cancer, diabetes type 2, and heart diseases. Setting a goal towards the broad objective of helping people of Illinois to enjoy a healthy life, especially the aged or senior citizens, this specific program is to be developed and later introduced at both private and public universities nationwide. Such programs will ensure specialized education as well as training related to diet and exercise, and most importantly would identify health-related issues that pertain to proper nutrients and healthy exercises. A bachelor’s degree, as well as a master’s degree program in diet and exercise in the universities, is to be incorporated in this program to offer students an advanced study in both theory and application of nutrition and exercise science. The graduates and masters who pass from these institutions will practice the sessions they have learned, thereby helping the citizens to be health conscious. Since most people are facing health hazards due to obesity, a program involving a door-to-door campaign as well as visiting government institutions such as hospitals and health departments is very essential t
Formal Institutions Political System Italy is a European nation found along the Mediterranean coastline, with Rome as its capital city. Kings initially ruled the Italian up to the Second World War. Nevertheless, in 1946, Italians decided to overthrow the empire, and the nation became an independent state. The initial State continued until 1992, when scandals devastated Italy’s main political parties. Due to those major improvements in the parties, the era is known as the Second Republic, even though there were no constitutional changes (Capussela, 2018). Sergio Matterella is the current president of Italy, even though it is a ceremonial duty. Legal System Italy is a republic with a constitution composed of 139 reports demonstrating society’s elementary ground from 1948. The reports are into three main groups: essential philosophies, human rights and responsibilities, and republican organization (Capussela, 2018). The national assembly and regional members elect Italy’s presidents by secret ballot. Parliament elects Presidents for seven-year terms to prevent re-election by the same parliament. There are three government systems in Italy, including legislative, judicial, and executive. As the head of the council, the prime ministers oversee and executive authority to the Council of Ministers who carry outlaws and other political decisions (Capussela, 2018). Acts are typically presented to the parliament, but in cases of urgency, bills can get approval through decrees or if the national assembly offers the council the responsibility to act. Economic System The Italian economy consists of established industries in the North owned by private companies and a less established, heavily subsidized agrarian in the South afflicted by poverty and poor infrastructure. The manufacturing of slightly elevated consumer products by midsized and small commercials, most of which are kinship, is a major booster of the Italian economy. In addition, Italy possesses a substantial subterranean economy, constituting approximately 17 percent of the GDP (Capussela, 2018). Farming, service industries, and infrastructure are possibly the most dominant regions to find these events. Italy falls in third place economically in Europe, but its extremely high public bills and structural growth constraints have made it sensitive to financial sector scrutiny. Since 2007, Italy’s community bills have continuously risen, surpassing 131 percent of the GDP in 2017 (Capussela, 2018). However, shareholders’ fear about Italy and the broader eurozone disaster subsided in 2013, reducing Italy’s administration bills borrowing rates. Informal Institution Components of the Culture According to research, Italian is the State’s official language, and almost 93 percent of people speak Italian as their native language (Morretta et al., 2020). Italy’s languages include Sardinian and Piedmontese. Roman Catholicism is Italy’s most commonly practiced religion (Morretta et al., 2020). It is unsurprisi
The innovation implications Globally, China and India are the two emerging world economies that are playing an increasingly important role in the world economy. Through a number of channels, their expansion has exposed a noticeable impact on the global economy with greater emphasis on trade. According to the policy makers, the two nations have poised to play a key role in the debates over the recent past. Fundamentally, China’s enormous current account surplus and reservations of foreign assets have been deemed to contribute to global imbalances. Secondly, the growth in other emerging economies coupled with China’s and India’s may have been a source of upward pressure in the past few years. In fact the exhilarating growth sin the economies were linked with the increases in prices of energy and other commodities. Thirdly, the mounting concerns of risks linked with outsourcing manufacturing activities to China and reserving the services to India has hastened the rapid growth in the countries’ economic development. Lastly, the progressive incorporation and integration of the two countries in the global economy has to a greater extent affected international capital cash flows. In the process increased purchases of US Treasury bonds in addition to increased merger and acquisitions moves in the US by Chinese and India companies (Cooper, 2006). Consequently, the United States, having been considered a super-power of the world economies has started to feel the vibrations caused by the fast-emerging twin nations from the east. For instance, over a decade and a half, China has in its capital, erected sky-scrapers in Manhattan, biggest industrial zones and research centers in other small cities. These achievements have been a result of the ability to mobilize capital and workers, thus managing to fight poverty. A peek into the second globally emerging economy China presents the greatest participation in the global innovation chain. Comparing American and Chinese engineers shows that the Chinese counterparts combine skills using complex algorithms and multimedia technologies. Additionally, innovation will be driven by a rising consumer class through cell-phone subscribers, passenger car markets and consumer preferences. The demands for the latest technologies and features by Chinese and Indian companies/consumers have been indicative of how American were decades before (Bosworth and Collins, 2007). In contrast to the 21 st –century global economic transformation meant for China and India, the United States’ 19 th -century economy was challenged by the small workforce available and the little technological skills at the time. According to Rossi (2007), the two giants capitalize on the fact that they compliment each other’s strengths. While India rises in design, services, software and precision industry, China maintains mass manufacturing of electronics and heavy industrial plants; posing a threat to the world tech industry if in case the two economies merged. In the process of complimenting, most multinationals are having their goods bui
