Introduction Expertise and devotion are very important in any human undertaking and the nursing process as a profession; where in this case the delivery of the best medical services to the society will be enhanced. With regard to this case, the cooperation of nurses and the appropriate delegation of roles within the clinic are very essential within the nursing service. Further, in this case, there is the need for competence within the nurses’ duties so as to ensure maximum benefit to their clients. Based on the fact that there is a diverse workforce within the clinics, the nursing supervisor is bound to use delegation qualities in ensuring harmony and efficiency within the nursing process. Further, the nursing career has a framework of set rules and regulations, which must be adhered to by all nurses in order to ensure the delivery of quality services to the patients (Kidd, 2002). Discussion The family nurse practitioner gives medical assistance and counseling to the family setup and individuals within their different areas of practice. In order to utilize the diverse workforce available within the clinic, the FNP should first develop a friendship with his/her colleagues so as to encourage the development of teamwork. In this case, clinics have different employees who perform different tasks; which calls for respect and understanding among the workers so as to ensure efficiency within the process of serving the patients. Further, the FNP can become effective by establishing an understanding of the varied needs of their clients which may be psychological, emotional or physical. Additionally, the different clientele within the society have varied needs depending on their gender, age and marital status among others; with regard to which in this case professionalism is important in the administration (Kidd, 2002). Another point to be noted is that the FNP can use their varied workforce within the clinic to meet the needs of their clients; which in this case is possible through the utilization of the varied talents and skills of the diverse workforce available at the clinic. The FNP in this case should adequately consider the importance of teamwork in defining their roles, which in this case will avoid conflicts within the sharing of roles within the clinic. Further, the existence of varied health problems leads to different attention needs to be given to the clients; whereby in this case the nurses undergo different courses within their training thus leading to specialization and division of labor (Kidd, 2002). On the other hand, the delegation of roles is a very technical undertaking which needs professionalism. From another point of consideration, the ANA has a well stipulated set of rules and regulations which must be followed by all nursing practitioners. The delegation of roles among the nurses should also be guided by their areas o
Introduction The gap between the rich and the poor has been increasing yearly since 1970. Indeed, one can state that the distribution of wealth among the American population is uneven. Whereas there are individuals that can be considered extremely wealthy, there are many others who can be described as poor. This is even though both the middle and lower classes have various types of employments. There have been critics who have argued that economic inequality in the country can be solved through provision of a standard basic income (Van Parijs, 2005). This would mean that each person earns the same basic salary. This would be calculated to make sure employees can afford a decent life. Towards this end, one can argue that economic inequality is only considered when people cannot afford basic needs. This paper looks into the current state of economic inequality and how government policies have contributed to the gap. The paper will also consider some programs that have been used in the past to try and lower the disparity. Suggestions on what can be done to ensure a reduced economic inequality gap will also be given. Current Economic Inequality Van Parijs (2005) argues that economic inequality hinders a person’s ability to get sufficient subsistence. There are various reasons why the gap has increased in the last several decades or so. For instance, the population has increased. One can argue that the 4% unemployment rate is very low. Thus, many Americans have one form of employment or the other, yet they are still struggling to cater for their basic needs. Home ownership has been an important aspect of the economic inequality debate. This is due to the fact that renting out apartments is considered an expensive venture in many states in the country. Desmond (2017) interviews different people and presents a case where 44% of the salary of one of the interviewees is spent on rent only. This proves that owning a home in the US is a good way of managing expenses. Indeed, there are various policies that are currently being implemented to lower the economic inequality rates in the country. As stated, Van Parijs (2005) believes that a universal basic income is crucial in achieving this. One of the advantages of such an income is that it provides everyone with the exact amount they need to live comfortably. Towards this end, economies of scale have to be considered for all employees. Issues such as inflation and taxation also have to be considered to ensure that each person, regardless of other external factors, can cater for his or her needs. Apart from the standard income, there have been suggestions that the gap could be lowered using home ownership. Desmond (2017) compares the economic status of several interviewees and concludes that those that own a home have more disposable income and savings compared to those that do not own a home. Through the interviews done by Desmond (2017), one can argue that home owners get benefits that rente
Introduction Guanxi is Chinese word that means relationships, any kind of relationships. In the business culture, it simply refers to the network relationships that exist among business partners that cooperate and support each other. Guanxi networks are borne of the Chinese mentality that could be understood as “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.” 1 In this spirit, parties are expected to exchange favors regularly and voluntarily. In doing business successfully in China, acquiring the right Guanxi is very important in that the risks, frustrations and disappointments that easily discourage foreigners are minimized. Acquiring a Guanxi with the relevant authorities in regard to ones business will put your business into a long time competitive advantage 2 . Moreover, for any business enterprise in China a series of risks, barriers, and setups it experiences can be discouraging or render it unable to survive in the market but with the correct Guanxi working for your business, these barriers are eliminated 3 . This fact has been refuted by 4 who says that benefits of Guanxi in business performance have been exaggerated and cannot be proven since there is not enough data due to the secrecy that shrouds the practice. Establishing and nurturing a guanxi is a taxing investment in terms of resources and time but in the long run, these investments pay from the favors a person receives from partners especially when they are needed. A common phenomenon in domestic businesses, in the country, is where a strong network of suppliers, retailers, banks and local government official are working together. In this circle, a common culture is where members visit each other’s residence on social visits and brings gifts to the hosts in terms of wine, cigarettes etc. In the western culture, this may be viewed as intrusion, but in China, this is another arena for furthering business interests as 5 observes. Australian networking takes the western route. This means creating an opportunity to meet and build rapport with people who can help in career development if one is looking for a job, chances of meeting new people and exchanging ideas if one is interested in social networking and chances of connecting businesses for business owners and entrepreneurs 6 . This is done through networking events, groups or online. Networking organizations such as Networking World in Australia are business organizations that offer networking services for businesses to join networking groups or events. Business networking is built over time through sharing information and building trust though this is done in a more formal way than in Guanxi. Businesses networking is done as a long term strategy for people mainly want to judge others professionalism, expertise and confidence. The major focus of networking is gaining contacts, leads a
Pyramid of Success and Business In my opinion, Wooden’s pyramid of success accurately indicates the necessary parts of success. Friendship, alongside with loyalty, will help the leader work on a project that others can find uninteresting (e.g. Sergei Brin and Larry Page). Both of the mentioned owners of Google would not work on the search engine back in the 1990s if they did not have enough enthusiasm for it (Brezina, 2012). At the same time, since both of them were highly educated, their skills allowed them to create one of the first popular search engines that were easy to operate. At last, nowadays, Google’s competitive greatness is in its ability to provide users with everything they need and want before their rivals can do it. Leadership Style I am a consultative leader; I believe it is important to know and validate the opinions of others, although my decision remains to be the final one. Therefore, I agree with Wooden on team spirit because only those individuals who place the team above their own self are the ones capable of bringing change into the organization. I also believe that alertness or the ability to learn are crucial for a consultative leader because followers are a major source of new ideas and information that the leader can overlook. However, I cannot agree with Wooden’s view of poise because leaders can often be carried away with their own beliefs and miss important opinions due to this blindness. It is important to be a flexible leader who can be true to him/herself but who can admit his/her beliefs are wrong if it is so. Self-control is an important trait both for leaders and for followers because it mediates the work of a team, allowing it to be more efficient and reducing the number of conflicts. In my personal life, self-control is an anchor that helps me stay confident even during highly stressful events. Pyramid’s Aspects Aspects I agree with are the following: cooperation, intentness, and condition. Cooperation is an essential part of any business because it is difficult, if not impossible, to start and run a business project completely alone. As Wooden (2017) accurately notices, cooperation helps “reach your organization’s full potential” (para. 2). Intentness is helpful when a business faces serious problems and the will to quit grows in the leader; without intentness, the promotion of an idea (or products) will fail at once when first difficulties emerge. Condition (mental, moral, and physical) is crucial not only for the leader but followers as well because any disruption in it will compromise teamwork, leading to unfruitful choices, which are often hazardous for the future of the project. I do not agree with Wooden’s view of industriousness; furthermore, I do not understand why he does not address the importance of creativity. There are thousands of people who are enthusiastic about their job and who work incredibly hard, but their actions do not lead to competitive greatness because the
Throughout human history, the trouble that emanates from the activities of smugglers, pirates, and black market profiteers has been a major problem for monarchs and other heads of state. The same thing can be observed today from the pirates of Somalia to the Colombian drug cartels. There are three reasons why smugglers, criminals and lawbreakers would risk their lives to buy contraband such as opium and these are listed as follows: they have found a lucrative business; they are desperate; and they find it a matter of personal opinion whether they must be considered as astute businessmen or enemies of the state. This argument stems from a close study of a book written by Captain Arthur Cunynghame. Cunynghame served as a British sea captain and also as the aide-de-camp to Major-General Lord Saltoun. He was a commander of a ship under the royal crown of Britain and at the same time commander of troops assigned to the East India Company. The main argument stated earlier was the result of studying Cunynghame’s personal recollection of the cause and effect of the Opium War of the late 19 th century. The following is taken from one of his recollections, an insight into the mindset of the people involved in the opium trade and Cunynghame wrote: The difficulties and dangers which were placed by the Chinese authorities in the way of obtaining it, together with the immense price to which, in consequences, it had obtained, caused its sale to be undertaken only by the most lawless as well as avaricious of the community, who risked their lives in this pursuit … the cruelties resorted by the mandarins in its suppression, and by the smugglers in retaliation, are almost incredible. [1] Lucrative Business It is easy to understand why business-minded people flock towards a money-making scheme that assures them a tidy profit. This is simply the dictates of human nature. No person in his right mind would do something that promises verylittle pay if there is an alternative source of income that promises a three-fold increase in income. More importantly human nature dictates that a person should find an efficient method for achieving a particular goal. In this case the goal is to make money and the methodology adopted is smuggling banned products. The high yield profit from the importation of opium is the result of the insistence of the 19 th century Chinese government that opium is destructive to the health and well-being of the general population. Opium was therefore ruled as an illegal substance. It created a dilemma within Chinese society. For many centuries opium was never considered a deadly menace and a prohibitive drug. On the contrary it was viewed as something of a miracle cure that provided relief to different mala
History Bosshardt is a real estate and property management company that focuses on real estate products. The current president and founder of the firm are Aaron Bosshardt, and the general manager is Glennette Maxwell. The company was founded in 1987, which means that it has more than 30 years of experience (“Bosshardt commercial & land,” 2020). The company can be divided into six major divisions, which include commercial real estate, property management, title insurance, maintenance division, relocation, and charity division. The firm is located in North Central Florida, where the facilities are based in Gainesville and Ocala (“Residential real estate,” 2020). The products are commercial and residential real estate, with the market segment being Florida. Although there are no publicly available records of the company’s financial history, there are no controversial data, which means they might be a decent history. Most of the employees are realtors, who actively seek out various deals in the real estate market. The major turbulence faced by the company was the market crash of 2008, which directly impacted their products. The economic crisis has generated a wave of peculiar expectations of both a positive and catastrophic nature. They concern, and, often, not only and not so much the actual economic problems, but rather the problems of socio-political and geopolitical ones (Peters, Besley, & Paraskeva, 2015). On the one hand, such expectations are a natural phenomenon, and economic crises of the past two centuries have always led to some social upheaval and change (Clench-Aas & Holte, 2017). A financial crisis inevitably entails one form or another of a social crisis. As for the geopolitical theme, it is quite clear that economic losses may well lead to a loss of political weight by certain states. However, on the other hand, genuine science should be cautious in general forecasts. One thing is the short-term forecasting of specific social and economic trends. Another thing is the predictions of the global historical plan, in which people can inevitably enter the field of speculation (Chen, Cheng, Ku, & Liao, 2019). Even if general historical trends are predictable, then linking their manifestations to these specific events requires careful analysis and caution in conclusions. Market orientation is mostly focused on commercial real estate due to its high validity and security. The organizational lifecycle is manifested in the fact that Bosshardt is gradually growing due to its assets appreciating over time. However, the issue of corporate culture, which includes norms, was developed much later – it is a question of ideals, mission, organization’s value system, norms, and traditions (Black & Warhurst, 2019). They are aimed at achieving the goals set for the organization. It is in this way that a directed organizational culture can ensure that both the organization’s leadership and its team act based on the goals set for the organization, the goals of meeting the needs of society. It also can ensure the organization’s integration to achieve its goals (Gonzalez-Mulé, C
Introduction Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous scientists of the modern era. His achievements in physics placed him in the same row as people like Einstein. Hawking mostly advanced theories associated with the universe and its development. Moreover, he put effort into popularizing science among people, and his findings became discussed even among individuals who have no understanding of complex physics. This paper describes the life of Stephen Hawking and his most important works. Biography The path of a scientist was determined for Stephen Hawking from the start. Being born in 1942 in a family of a tropical medicine researcher, he was influenced by his father to take this path (Mellors). However, he found biology vague and unspecific, so mathematics and physics became his choice. Being a talented young man, Hawking did not take much time to study since he could easily understand most of the information intuitively. However, this fact did not prevent him from receiving first-class honors in physics upon graduating from Oxford University in 1962 (Mellors). His primary interest at that time was the theory of relativity. However, it was a cosmology that drew Hawking’s attention later in his life. This was the field he concentrated on during his post-graduate studies at Cambridge University, which he finished in 1966 with a doctorate (Mellors). Discovering the origins of the universe became the goal of his life, and eventually led him to develop some of the most ou
Recent fad diets have suggested that carbohydrates cause harm to one’s body. However, this statement has been refuted many times for several reasons. Firstly, to get a beautiful, efficiently functioning body, one needs nutrients – fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and water (Nazario). Carbohydrate metabolism converts carbs into vital energy for the nervous system and brain, as well as for the possibility of proper metabolism of proteins and fats. Once these elements are eliminated, there is a high risk of developing continuous fatigue, which potentially leads to depressive mood. Secondly, giving up carbohydrates leads to extra pounds because after completing a carb-free diet, the body is susceptible to every gram of carbohydrates, and super-compensation occurs in the diet. In addition to an increased appetite for carbohydrate-containing foods, the assimilation of this element increases significantly (Nazario). For example, a person was on such a diet for a month and lost ten pounds, and then immediately returned to a regular diet, regaining the same weight within a week. Thirdly, even after the first day of giving up carbohydrates, a person may feel a slight malaise and headache (Nazario). Later, there is a chance of developing constant headaches leading to migraine. Ultimately, carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the brain. All cognitive functions slowly fade away when the main “engine” ceases to receive sufficient charge. Almost every activity demands increased brain activity which is stimulated by carbs (Nazario). When a person does not consume them, primarily the level of concentration reduces. Constant burning of ketones instead of glucose can lead to impaired brain function. Therefore, it is vital to include carbs into one’s ration in order to ensure that all bodily systems function properly. Work Cited Nazario, Brunilda. “ What Happens When You Stop Eating Carbs ”.

Introduction Mitigation strategies are developed by managers independently regarding the nature of risks identified, their peculiar features, and likelihoods. In this part of the project, it is necessary to develop mitigation strategies for each risk identified earlier and prove that the choice is justified and has enough powerful grounds. Risk mitigation is a chance to reduce the probability of a risky event and decrease the level of impact of each risk on the completion of the work (Heldman, 2005). The idea to resurface an old driveway with new asphalt is not cheap from financial, technical, and even personal points of view. It requires much time to plan the steps, evaluate the risks and think about the most appropriate mitigation strategies to be implemented in the project. Each strategy should describe the opportunities available to people, who are involved in a working process. Risk # 1: Weather Conditions The process of resurfacing an old driveway can be changed because of some unpredictable weather conditions and the inabilities to improve the climate according to personal demands. Therefore, it is possible to use the mitigation strategy called “acceptance” because the project developers can do nothing but accept natural challenges and changes and think about the precautions that can help to reduce the level of harm of this particular risk (Kerzner, 2009). As a rule, the manager is aware of the risk and its possible consequences. It is just necessary to wait and try to prevent the level of the harm by using a special canopy to protect the already done piece of work from inappropriate weather conditions. Risk # 2: Equipment Issues To take advantage of this kind of risk, the manager can stick to the “control” strategy within the frames of which it is possible to develop several measures, follow the risk development, and reevaluate the project to achieve what is expected. In the project under consideration, the manager can address several companies at the same time and have two or more options to rely on in case of emergency (NCHRP Report, 2011). Risk # 3: New Asphalt Quality Transference seems to be the adequate mitigation strategy to this particular risk. Due to the fact that the project manager is not able to be sure of the quality of the material chosen, it is better to discuss this aspect with others, underline the insurance concepts, and transfer the possible risk to them. There are the organizations responsible for the outcomes that depend on the quality of the material. In case something goes wrong or poor results are achieved, the developers have to substitute the mistakes with rational ideas. Risk # 4: Old Driveway Removal Problems The problems caused by an old driveway poor removal can be limited to the frames of an appropriate strategy. A limitation is a chance to expose the risk and take some actions like choosing the best equipment or setting the periods during which it is possible to check the quality of the work done several times. Old driveway may be removed in a variety of ways, and the workers can use several methods to b
