Worldview can be defined as the overarching philosophies about the world that a person holds. There are various factors that shape a person’s acquisition of worldview. These include age, community, gender among others. These philosophies affect, albeit differently, a person’s behavior, including the ability to learn. One of the factors that shape a person’s worldview is gender. Gender means being either male or female. Suffice to state that every community has gender specific roles that it inculcates into people from an early age. For instance, amongst the Japanese, men are seen as the only relevant members of the society, while women are relegated to insignificance. As such women are purely dependent on men in every aspect of life. This means that the worldviews that women and men hold differ because of the social roles imposed upon each these genders by the culture. As such, Japanese men and women have varied concepts of the self; men see themselves as decision makers while women see themselves as inferior to men. Likewise, age also shapes a person’s worldview especially in hierarchical societies, as opposed to egalitarian societies. In hierarchical societies one of the factors that govern the attainment of social status is age. In these societies, as a person progressively attains certain age, the social roles changes due to change of status. A person worldview is only limited to the expectation of the age-based social status since that person is not expected to perform the roles stipulated of a different and higher social status. Furthermore, as a people climb up the social ladder, their behavior becomes more formal. In addition, in the contemporary world, the new age movement is also influencing the worldviews of those who ascribe to its philosophies 1 . Additionally, community also shapes ones worldview about the self, the world and those one is living with. In this sense community refers to the people one lives with and the dominant interpersonal relationships. Such relationships may either be friendly of strained. In a community, one is expected to perform various community roles. Suffice to say that a person motivation to perform those roles is influenced by dominant interpersonal relationships. As such, a persons overarching philosophies about the world within ones community is shaped by the dominant interpersonal relationships 2 . Age, community, gender and other factors shapes a person worldviews. According to how these factors shape a person’s worldview, the person forms certain beliefs about the world, the self and how a person behaves towards others, the world one lives in and the things a person does. A person’s ability to learn is therefore influenced by age, the community ones lives in and gender. In hierarchical societies women’s view ed
In the world of music, one of the most prominent figures is the nineteenth-century Polish composer Frederic Chopin. Called “The boldest and the proudest poetic spirit of the age” by his musical contemporary Robert Schumann [1] , Chopin embodied the essential ideas of the romantic period with his tragedy of losing his native land and spending life in vain attempts at supporting his countrymen in their struggle for freedom. A Slavic soul in the Western world, Chopin expressed all his pain at the loss of motherland in his lyrical music that forever won the hearts of audiences. The composer’s short but eventful life was a struggle between the outward success and recognition in the musical world and the inner contradictions and home-sickness, worsened by the deadly disease — tuberculosis. Born on March 1, 1810, in a small Polish village Zelazova-Wola six miles away from the Polish capital, Warsaw, Chopin was the second child and the only son in the family [2] . His father, Nicholas Chopin, was a French emigrant of Polish origin and worked as an educator to the children of the Polish aristocracy [3] . His mother, Justina Kryzanowska, of poor but noble family, “possessed of all the womanly virtues” [4] . Chopin’s highly educated and refined parents cultivated his love of music since his early childhood. His first piano lessons were given by his mother, and at the age of six he started studying with Adalbert Zwyny [5] The young boy’s affection to piano playing was so big that by the age of twelve he already possessed enough skill to play at public concerts and even experiment in the sphere of technique and tone, “revolutionizing the world of music and the keyboard” [6] At the age of twelve Chopin entered the Warsaw Lyceum for classical education in languages, and later on enrolled the Warsaw Conservatory where h
Introduction In the film End of Poverty, the filmmaker tries to unravel the mystery behind poverty in the world. He ponders on the question of why are there poor people living in such a resource-filled world? The film tactfully highlights the possible roots of modern poverty to that of a man-made origin by going back into history for over five hundred years ago. He systematically explains the cause of poverty in light of the world economic system that is capitalism. This system has made it possible for the developed economies to exploit the resources of the underdeveloped economies this is called modern-day enslavement. The filmmaker equates the effects of capitalism to amount to greed and a total disaster. The filmmaker tries to answer the question of whether it is possible to end poverty in the world. He raises critical a argument by saying that it is practically impossible with the current economic order. In this paper, we shall discuss in detail the phenomenon that is poverty. An analysis will be made as to whether the various arguments made by the filmmaker,the scholars and the interviewees in the film hold any ground. Body Ideas In the film, the writer uses a lot of explanation that concurs with his thesis that the cause of poverty in developing countries has been caused by the developed countries. The filmmaker explores the use of western capitalization ideologies for example through the introduction of property ownership in a certain society in Kenya destabilizing the cultures and norms of the people. Showcases a scenario whereby the north countries depend on the south in terms of resources since they have non back in their countries.For example the writer gives a practical example as to how The British white settlers infiltrated Africa and took over all the arable land belonging to the natives and in return making them their slaves. Another example was the privatization of all state corporations and resources in Bolivia by the Belgian government which later resulted in an uprising by the masses. Organization The film is arranged in such a way that the author has persuasively argued his case that the cause of poverty is man-made and it was brought about by the scramble for resources in the developing countries.The film is full of rhetoric in the sense that one fails to understand the reason as to why the world is so rich in resources and yet there is extreme poverty in it. The aspect of rhetoric showcases itself is when the countries located in the southern hemisphere despite being naturally endowed with resources, form the bulk of the poorest population in the world. This is not the case with the countries located in the northern hemisphere which suffer from a scarcity of resources ye
Introduction People have found themselves strongly arguing about whether or not being rich means better education and more success. From the two divide individuals bring forth valid and strong arguments that are very convincing. To successfully cover the relevant arguments there is need to provide arguments from both sections. It is worth noting that for the paper to have a clear bearing there is need to first have an explanation of certain major concepts in the questions posed. For instance what does being rich mean? What are better education and more success? The understanding of majority of human being s with regards to being rich means a variety of things to them. Money and wealth means a lot to human beings and it is essential for acquisition of such goods and services as rent, clothing, entertainment food and typically a wider range of other things that makes the life of a human being enjoyable (Broom, Jones & McDonnell, 1977). It is common knowledge that when one is in a situation whereby he/she cannot meet and pay for the basic necessities then such a situation has been shown to negatively impact in wellbeing of the affected human race. For the sake of this paper there is need to draw a line between being rich and wealthy. For one to be considered rich there is need for such individuals to exhibit certain characteristics which include having a balanced life in terms of spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, relational, sexual, financial as well as directional (Caldwell, 1995). Each and every person has in his own mind certain issues that they need to accomplish and have for instance having a nice house, a good car, taking memorable trips among other things. Each and every country in the 21 st century has made education mandatory. United Kingdom is not an exception. The bigger challenge that has faced this idea is lack of adequate resources from the government and more seriously from parents. Despite the fact that the government has strived in ensuring that individuals are able to read and write and acquire additionally education, there are some individuals who come from very humble and poor background. Majority of them have undergone hard times while pursuing their educations. A greater percentage makes it in life and are now billionaires and deemed successful men and women. On he other hand, those from rich background have undergone good time during their studies and due to their parents’ social status have found their way through and have made a good life. Better education in my humble opinion refers to a situation where an individual is or has been capable of acquiring education that has effectively imparted knowledge and skills to him/her that are applicable to real life situation. Such knowledge can be used to make a living. Success means lots of different things to different people. However in my own view success is attained when one has managed to rai
Introduction In the present-day world of informational society, knowledge management seems to have become an integral part of the mechanism of any organization. By analyzing the existing information sources and delivering accurate data on time, a company is able to use the data in question to its advantage and improve its performance impressively. However, information acquisition is not the only issue that a company must resolve in order to succeed; apart from the analysis of information sources, the concept of professional responsibility must be introduced and roles and responsibilities must be distributed among the members of the personnel. Despite the fact that the ACME stores clearly lack cohesion between their departments ( Information required for change of control or change of ownership or both for radioactive materials license , n. d.), it can still be assumed that the company is most likely to succeed with the introduction of the principles of shared knowledge into the information management standards. Roles Analysis The company must be given credit for its well thought out structure ( Background information ACE Home Improvements , n. d.). Indeed, after a thorough consideration of the organization chart, one will notice that roles have been distributed reasonably among the members of the company. ACME has a CEO, as known as the Project Sponsor, whose role is to handle the operation of the company ( ACME Autopartes, SA de CV , n. d.). He plays the role of the company leader and the person who is in charge of efficient communication within the organization, as well as the communication of the company staff with the representatives of other companies. The CIO, or the Project Manager, plays the role of the CEO’s assistant, providing the latter with the information regarding the Information Management Plan (IMP) ( Acme Electric Manufacturing de México, S. de RL de CV Company profile , n. d.). The company also has the so-called Project Team, which consists of seven people and includes the COO, the CFO, the CLO, the Director of Marketing, the Director of HR, Store Operations Manager and the IT Applications and Integration Manager. The role of the Project Team members is to make sure that their departments deliver high-quality performance. To be more exact, the IT Applications and Integration Manager’s role is to coordinate the work of the IT department, the Store Operations Manager makes sure that the operations are carried out properly, the Director of HR plays the role of the HRM department supervisor, the Director of Marketing makes certain that the marketing strategies have been defined and that the marketing specialists deliver high-quality results, the CLO performs the role of a learning manager, the CFO plays the part of a financial manager, and the COO’s role is that one of the company’s operating process supervisor. Finally, the Support
Microfinance has become one of the most viable solutions to highest poverty rates among developing economies. It is also world’s most funded intervention due to the possibility to receive micro loans and discover wider opportunities for the poorest people of the world. Despite the promising perspectives, microfinance experienced a serious criticism by 2010. Specifically, the research studies and global reports started challenging the benefits of microfinance, comparing with the collapse of subprime mortgage reform in the United States (Chang n. p.). Dramatic interest rates and cases of suicide among Indian borrowers introduced a negative side of the microcredit opportunity (Chang n. p.). The quantitative evidence suggests that the nature, balance, and magnitude of finance are inconclusive and ambiguous. Although microfinance has been considered an effective tool for dealing with poverty, no evident data has been provided to support its positive effect, which leads to misconceptions about the actual effects of the projects and distracts researchers from introducing new solutions and reforms (Duvendack et al. 9). Therefore, the policy makers are fully aware of the actual underpinning for microfinance project development because it is impossible to introduce consistency to the world economy in case only one dimension is tackled. The genuine intent of introducing microfinance reforms was justified because the possibility to borrow money has lead to increase in self-employment and access to credit money. However, the research on microcredit initiatives in Bosnia has discovered tangible augmentation of child labor rates in small businesses that have been created on the basis of microloans. As a result, the concerns emerge due to the unpredicted outcomes of wider access to loans (Chang n. p.). Other consequences do not contribute to improvement of needs of the poor population in the world because the proliferation of small business has increased the competition and created new challenges for larger global companies and corporations. Despite this serious problem, microfinance should not be fully abolished due to the benefits that other microfinance services propose to people. This is of particular concern to insurance and savings. Certainly, offering microloans to the poorest people will not solve the problem of the third world. Nevertheless, it is a considerable step toward harmonization of the global economy. As result, microfinance fails to solve a compelling problem of poverty in the world due to certain reasons. Before introducing microcredit services, the government should develop a strict regulation according to which small businesses should be controlled to avoid such challenges as child labor and self-employment. The emergence of microfinance project does not have a positive impact on efficient allocation of resources, leading to decreased sustainability. The private segment is discouraged by microfinance policy beca
Introduction The current instability in the automobile sector arises from an array of factors in the business environment ranging from competition to consumers’ bargaining potential. Porter’s Five-Force model is applicable to the automobile manufacturing sector. It is crucial to critically examine specific forces that have contributed to the unstable nature of the global automobile industry. The Three Most Important Factors The Five-Force framework assesses the profitability of businesses by considering the level of competition, the potential of new entrants, suppliers’ powers, consumers’ influence, and the threat posed by substitute commodities and services. The three important factors that seem to influence each of the above elements in the automobile industry include political interferences, economic changes, and environmental concerns. According to Potter (2017), governments rely considerably on the automobile sector and related stakeholders, including suppliers, because they make considerable contributions to taxation, employment, GDP, and balance of payments. Furthermore, Potter (2017) also underlines that changes in economic structures such as the case of Brexit have a significant impact on organisations’ profitability in the automotive industry since manufacturers, suppliers, and customers have to deal with uncertainty. According to Potter (2017), the issue of environmental sustainability also influences customers and manufacturers’ choices. This claim is founded on the awareness that automobiles contribute to pollution. The Intensity of Each of the Forces Each of the five forces poses a certain degree of intensity in the industry. Potter (2017) reveals that the intensity of competition in the industry is high because leading competitors, including VW and Toyota, rival each other. The potential of new entrants in the industry is medium due to the cost associated with the large-scale manufacture of automobiles. Potter (2017) points out that globalisation enhances the power of new entrants in the automotive industry as seen in the case of VW’s entry into the Chinese market, which has enabled the European automaker to sell at least 2 million units annually. Suppliers’ influence is medium in the automobile sector because manufacturers have resorted to diversifying and outsourcing activities in the wake of technological innovations. According to Potter (2017), buyers’ authority is high. In particular, Toyota and Hyundai failed to record remarkable sales from their hydrogen-driven cars. Moreover, the threat of substitutes in the automobile industry is low due to the convenience associated with owning a vehicle. Implications for Profit-Making The intensity of each of the five forces has a significant influence on the profitability of companies in the automobile industry. According to Potter (2017), highly competitive automakers in th
Caves are wonderful creations of nature that manage to incorporate the magic of discovery and the horror of claustrophobia. Although caves are typically associated with cavities in soil rather than ice, the areas that are covered in the latter may also contain caverns as the phenomenon of ice caves in Cincinnati, OH shows. A recent visit that I paid to the Ohio Museum of Natural History and Science has shown that the properties of the local caverns can be simulated in the museum environment and that the model in question can be used to display the key processes occurring in the specified environment, therefore, creating premises for the analysis of the designated area and creating forecasts regarding the further changes in the specified caverns. The phenomenon of an ice cave is typically defined as the tunnels in the upper layer of the ground that lies on the glacier bed. Glaciers, in their turn, can be viewed as the environment, in which ice caverns can be formed. In other words, glaciers serve as the foundation for the development of the cave. The conditions that the Cincinnati environment offers can be deemed as rather favorable for the development of ice caverns. A closer look at the location of Ohio, in general, and Cincinnati, in particular, will reveal that most of the area under analysis is glaciated, i.e., located over a layer of glaciers. As Fig. 1 shows, the environment of Ohio has created premises for the development of caverns in the ice deposits. Figure 1. Ohio: Ice Sheets (“EEES Geology” par. 1). Therefore, the specified area was predisposed to the creation of ice caverns. The trip to the museum and the visit of the cave has shown that the tunnels separate the glacial ice and the bedrock lying beneath. One must give the museum members credit for creating the environment that allows for a thorough and in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of Ohio caverns. For instance, the fact that the caves were created owing to the development of karst in the specified area should be brought up as one of the essential pieces of information regarding the Ohio ice caves. In addition, the exploration of the cave allowed understanding the composition and structure of the ice caverns. Particularly, it became obvious that the Ohio cave system is represented by two key types of caves. First and most obvious, the famous ice caves deserve to be mentioned. Composed primarily of water, the designated type of caverns, however, was underrepresented in the museum. The reasons for the specified issue to occur are quite obvious; replicating the caverns made of frozen water is a rather complicated task. The caverns that the museum actually had to offer were composed of limestone. The specified type of caves is not related to the glacier that the Ohio state partially resides on. Instead, limestone caves exist due to the groundwater movement and the gradual erosion of
