Often the popularity of certain world figures can take dimensions that override their original contribution to history in the period in which they existed. In basic terms, this can be explained when looking at such figures as Mandela, Nixon, Einstein, and others, where each of them would be associated with a certain event or action that surpasses their other contributions, positive or negative. In that regard, looking at such a figure as Ernesto “Che” Guevara, such statements can be specifically true. The contributions of Che Guevara can be seen through many biographical facts, part of which made him known during his life, and others gained him a cult status after his death. This paper analyzes the impact of Che Guevara based on his journey with Alberto Granado, which was depicted in the film “The Motorcycle Diaries” (2004), stating that their different paths are related to the sense of rejection that distinguished Guevara. For people who are not informed of the political contribution of Guevara, the first association related to his name will be a sense of revolutionary romanticism. This can be specifically evident when looking at his journey with Granado. Two young men leave everything behind them to travel to Latin America. This sense of romanticism that many people of the current generation cannot afford. What is most important is the transformation process through which Guevara went during this journey, which makes his personality is believable and appealing to people. Aside from the contribution to politics, the contribution to culture can be seen through such examples as the interest that was given to him through such movies as the aforementioned “The Motorcycle Diaries” and several films with the title “Che” in 2005, 2008 and 2009. As the film focused on the facts of Guevara’s life prior to his guerilla activities, another point of influence related to his journey is the sense of rejection. Guevara rejected his lifestyle and his potential career in medicine for ideals he believed in, a rejection that many of the people and even supporters of Guevara also cannot make, which might serve as appoint of admiration for many people. As stated by biographer Pacho O’Donnell, “Today Che is associated in the collective conscience with values — his ethics, his principles,
Introduction Singapore is a small island state that that is surrounded by around 64 smaller islands and lies south of the Malay Peninsula. The most important part of Singapore history starts in 1819 when Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles first arrived in Singapore. However, it is important to note that Singapore history dates much earlier. It is recorded that when Sir Raffles arrived in Singapore, it was only a small island with around 200 people and that Raffles immediately fell in love with this island. He purchased the island from the local chief, Abdul Rahman for the east India Company. The island later became an important seaport. Later on, the island of Singapore together with that of Penang and Malacca joined strait settlements which all fell under the British East India Company. Singapore is a multiethnic society with immigrants from china, India, Malaya and Indonesia who arrived in Singapore during the establishment of the island as a sea port. Immigration into Singapore resulted from the thriving economy in Singapore as a result of the British rule. There were a lot of opportunities and many immigrants worked either as clerks, technicians or teachers. 1823 saw Singapore become a penal station and convicts from India other parts of Asia were used in the building of roads. The eminence of Singapore grew especially following its colonization by the British and the development of the steamships around 1869. The presence of tin and rubber made Singapore one of the leading sea ports in the region. In 1921, Singapore fell under the Japanese rule but was recaptured in 1945 by the British. In 1946, Singapore ceased to become part of the straits settlement and in 1959 attained her internal rule. She (Singapore) joined Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak forming Malaysia. 1965 saw Singapore attain full independence following her secession from Malaysia. Mode Of Subsistence Singapore is a home to numerous groups of people most of whom are immigrants from china, India, Malay Archipelago and Japan. Majority of the Singapore population is made up of the Chinese immigrants who arrived here as early as 1800s. The main economic activity in Singapore is trade but there are also instances of manufacturing industries. It is an active ship making country with tin smelting and rubber milling activities. It is formed on intensive capital, high wage and techno rather than the low wage and labor intensive industrial state it was in early 1980s.
Business crises are not issues that are new, rare or strange in the business world. However, business crises have been there over the years and the occurrences of such business crises incidents have been on increase for the last two decades. It is evident from the business world that the crises are witnessed across all business sectors and industries around the globe. In this connection, crises have been reported in business organizations involved in the provision of different services such as food, healthcare, transportation among others. Similar trends of crises report is also common in those manufacturing companies that deal with production of goods such as vehicles and other consumer products. Undoubtedly, the rise of a crisis within an organization definitely implies that there would be some sort of negative impacts in the operation and performance of the organization. The effects of crises are marked and displayed to the organization through losing the organization performance in its productivity, stock, profitability and incurring of costs through lawsuits. Crisis management, therefore, becomes a crucial factor of checking and controlling the performance of the organization by acting in a proactive and active way to prevent an event which has a potential likelihood of leading the company to financial crisis (Gareth and George, 45) The McDonald’s, an organization involved in the delivery of a range of food services is not an exception in the list of organizations that have experienced or fallen in the traps of crises. When the organization experienced a serious crisis, both from the internal environments as well as external ones, the corporation devised a number of ways of comba
The Facts of the Case This dispute arose in 2013 when an adolescent named Andrew Yount and his mother filed a lawsuit against Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a company that is incorporated in Johnson & Johnson. The plaintiff claimed that the drug manufactured by this organization caused gynecomastia or the growth of female breasts. Moreover, they stated that the defendants had concealed the information about the side effects of their product. In this case, one should speak about the medication known as Risperdal. It is used for treating bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses. Andrew Yount has used this drug since the age of four when he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. At the time, when this plaintiff reached the age of 14, he began to develop female breasts. His mother accused Janssen Pharmaceuticals of failing to warn patients and doctors about the link between the use of Risperdal and gynecomastia. Before this dispute reached the court, Janssen Pharmaceuticals was already penalized for concealing the information about the adverse effects of Risperdal. The Reasoning of the Court and the Outcome of the Case The court that heard this case ruled in favor of the plaintiff and ordered the company to reimburse Andrew Yount and his mother. The reasoning of the judges was based on several premises indicating the culpability of the defendant. Firstly, one should speak about the presence of clinical evidence suggesting that Risperdal can significantly increase the risk of gynecomastia. Secondly, the court took into account the fact that the plaintiff had been taking this drug for a long time. Furthermore, much attention was given to the fact that the management of Janssen Pharmaceuticals attempted to conceal the information about the impacts of their medications. One should note that plaintiffs cannot always prove the guilt of pharmaceutical companies. Very often, it is rather difficult to show that there is a causal relationship between the use of a drug and certain complications. Therefore, courts do not always accept the arguments advanced by claimants. Nevertheless, this case was an exception because it was revealed that Janssen Pharmaceuticals deliberately tried to falsify evidence that could prevent Risperdal from reaching the market. This is why the judges were ready to side with Andrew Yount and his mother. Lessons for Entrepreneurs This case eloquently demonstrates that entrepreneurs must never disregard their ethical duties. The management of Janssen Pharmaceuticals was mostly concerned about the profitability of the company. Additionally, they focused on the losses that this corporation could incur if the information about its products had been revealed. At the same time, they did not consider the needs and expectations of patients. On the whole, there is only one strategy for avoiding such disputes. In particu
Carroll, A 2004, Managing ethically with global stakeholders: A present and future challenge, Academy of Management Executive , Springer Netherlands, 19(2), 114-120. Introduction Management has so far evolved to accommodate ethics in business practice, and corporate social management. This has been at a local level, in companies’ home economies and the local communities. In the advent of globalization, there has been the need for the observation of ethics and corporate social responsibility at this level. Indeed, the interaction of business and free flow of capital at an international level has led to the rise of multinational companies who have wide influence of countries and beating countries GDPs (Carroll 2004). The practices in home countries need to be replicated in host countries viewing the well being of various stakeholder of the business. Annotations Content Carroll (2004) gives a descriptive opinion and findings and deduction from various sources in the need for ethical management, in a global level. He notes the presence and significance of stakeholders such as employees, government, society and the natural environment. First, he illustrates the rise of multinational companies and their significant role in global economics. He cites the constricted application and the lack of adaptation of managers in the ethics at a global level. He says that many companies apply the ethics in their home countries at a global level. He highlights the work of George Erderle and Integrative Social Contracts Theory by Tom Donaldson and Thomas Dunfee, to show the importance of versatility in the application of ethical standards at a global perspective. He notes the importance of ethics as the law is not able to reach all avenues of business practice. He finally notes the importance of multinational companies to observe standards set by international bodies observing ethics for various take holders. Purpose The article serves to give guidance on the rather inadequately explored area of global ethical management. The author intends to provide guidelines on various the practice of ethical management by drawing for the findings of various other sources. Usefulness In research, the article is an invaluable resource as it provides insight and also provokes thought on this unresearched yet very vital topic. He highlights the shortcomings of present ethical management. The author also provides concrete guidelines on the practical drawing form credible sources, and using this information to come to viable and relevant methodologies of practice.

The prairies, for centuries, were central to the indigenous people who had links to Bison. Leaving behind Bison arrowheads, drive lanes, and tipi lanes for everyone to see, the prairies were preceded by the Cree, Sioux, and Blackfoot, coming one after another. The American revolutionary wars have always portrayed meaningful alliances. Whitehouse-Strong demonstrated that the treaty was between her most gracious Queen of Ireland and Britain and Honorable James McKay from plain wood Cree and of India and other inhabitants of India. The paper aims to explore the history of the indigenous people of the prairies by comparing various texts. The natives had been continuously pushed westward with the increasing wars as others, such as the colonialists, occupied their lands. As revolution dawned, Duhame asserts that the Queen agreed with the Indians to pursue their fishing and hunting activities within the areas subject to regulations. On the other hand, Whitehouse-Strong indicated that the 13 states’ declaration had the right to negotiate or be ratified to form global treaties. As stated in the treaties, Canada swiftly adapted to the native populace. The genesis of the treaties was the fledglings between the occupants and the native Canadians. Additionally, having Treaty Six in the gallery makes that point strong. The black foot is popularly known as the Sikskia tribe and is one of three tribes that makes up the black foot confederacy. According to the Sikskia people, indigenous people’s wisdom is displayed through different thoughts, sights, and knowledge passed through generations. 1 Black foot Sikskia takes three distinct journeys of knowledge relating to health and healing. The philosophy behind the above cultures revolves around the essence of the healing process in spirituality. Each aspect has a unique way of nurturing a close discord between the earth, the creator, and humankind sacredly. The indigenous people of prairies valued knowledge, sight, and the aspects that are passed down orally through generations. Spirituality, health, and wellbeing inform a basis for most tribes, whereby each has a different way of nurturing the Supreme’s relationship. It is a connection, forming the building block of conservation in the most indigenous manner of all tribes in Canada, including the current. Tribal law on a federal basis centered its principles on treaties, under which the federal government acquired its vast territory. Most of the legal and moral obligations were protected strongly by the Canadian government, even though it does not keep its promises. The Cree Intellectual Tradition refers to an oral culture, which shared its perceptions, practices, wisdom, and caveats via the elders’ voices to the next generations. The Nehiyawak nation used oral narratives for quite a long time and for specific reasons. The oral histories for the prairies focused on the spiritual episodes, which accounted for the shape of t
Introduction Over the years, the disengagement of the Aboriginal students with school education has been a matter of serious concern. In fact, various studies reveal that “…majority of Aboriginal students are attending school but it is their level of engagement in schooling that is the critical issue ” (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 96). However, a number of initiatives have been taken in the form of policies, programs and services to address the critical issue. Recent initiatives designed to redress aboriginal disadvantage through schooling Some of policies formulated in the recent past to improve the learning outcomes of Aboriginal students at all levels is discussed below. The first New South Wales Aboriginal Education Policy (AEP) was formulated in the year 1982 by the Aboriginal Education Unit of the New South Wales Department of Education. The primary intentions were imparting education to the Aboriginal students, encouraging the participation of the communities in various decision-making processes and providing culturally aligned teaching. This policy underwent further modification in 1996 to incorporate the importance of assessing student learning outcomes at all levels (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 35). The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Policy of 1990 emphasized on the concerted effort of all Australian governments “… towards educational equity for Aboriginal Australians ” (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 35). This policy was revised in the year 1995 to formulate the National Strategy for the Education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples 1996-2002 with 21 long-term goals and objectives (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 35). Apart from government policies, a number of initiatives, services and programs have been undertaken which have created a great impact on the school education imparted to the Aboriginal students. These have been supported by various funding programs monitored by the Aboriginal Programs Unit like Indigenous Education Strategic Initiatives Program (IESIP), National Indigenous Literacy and Numeric Strategy (NIELNS), Vocational Education Guidance for Aboriginals Scheme (VEGAS) and Aboriginal Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ATAS) (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 37). Some of the programs undertaken with the help of IESIP funds include:  1. Aboriginal Targeted Funding Program aimed at providing funds to the School Education Areas from IESIP funds (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 40).  2. Cultural funds of $5000 imparted to all School Education Areas to facilitate Aboriginal cultural experiences (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 40).  3. Aboriginal Student leadership Programs with the aim of facilitating the growth of leadership qualities in Aboriginal students (NSW DET & AECG 2004, 40). Some of the programs undertaken with the he
Medication administration errors are preventable events that can have serious implications for patient safety. Active management and effective reporting systems can promote error detection and improve patient outcomes (Elden & Ismail, 2016). Collaborative team-based work is an important tool to improve relationships between healthcare professionals and reduce the number of medication errors that occur due to poor communication. An interprofessional team that needs to be assembled to prevent future recurrence of medication administration errors will consist of clinical pharmacists, physicians, and members of the nursing staff. The team’s goal will be to develop a plan for medication use with consideration of responsibilities and professional competencies of members. As experts in medications, pharmacists will have to prepare special guidelines for physicians on managing particular conditions, examine prescribing activities, and communicate patient-specific recommendations to the team. As professionals who manage patients’ daily schedule, nurses will develop an individualized care plan before counseling with a pharmacist. As experts in patient care, physicians will discuss the medication management plan for patients with pharmacists. All members will participate in the examination of case reports of medication errors to identify corrective actions. Accountability should be shared between the team members to enable the successful implementation of team-based care. Ways to distribute and monitor tasks among interprofessional team members include oral communication and non-verbal communication, such as communication logs, protocols, and guidelines. Strategies that will be used to facilitate effective communication and collaboration include the promotion of joint decision-making and education of members about how cultural, managerial, and environmental factors
Introduction Music and songs have the greatest powers on earth. Music has the power to turn on the spirits of the strongest warriors and steal their thoughts for a moment. I chose this topic and this opera because of the interesting scenarios of a strong warrior depicting self-conscious, and crying uncontrollably whenever he listens to a self-conscious song. Despite his might and strength, Ulysses cannot hold his tears whenever the divine bard starts singing. In this paper, I hope to convince the audiences that no matter their strength or their wickedness, a self-conscious song has the power to turn on their emotions and display their inner character. This paper discusses the various instances that a self-conscious song turns on the emotions of Ulysses, the strong warrior and king of Ithaca. The Self-conscious Song during the Feast of the Strangers After winning the Trojan War, the warriors prepare to return home. The king of the Phaeacians decides to hold a feast to give the warriors a warm send-off. A feast is set, and Ulysses and his warriors are to be entertained by a skilful bard. After feasting, the muse inspires the bard to sing and praise the heroes for their victory in the Trojan War. As the bard sang, Ulysses was impressed. The song dripped down his heart and rose his self-conscious. Tears flowed down Ulysses eyes, and he snatched his cloak and dragged it over his head to hide his tears. This was a clear indication of how insinuating the song was. Despite his might and strength, Ulysses shamelessly shed tears as the Phaeacians watched. Whenever the bard paused, he could grab his cloak, wipe his tears and make liberations to the gods. The Self-conscious Song in the Sports Contest Ulysses arrives in Ithaca looking like a beggar. Laodamas invites Ulysses to participate in a game challenge, but his mind is preoccupied with his return home. Without knowing that Ulysses is a king, Laodamas provokes him because of his cowardice. Laodamas hurting words sting Ulysses; he leaps to his feet and displays his superior skills in the game. Ulysses’ skills are received with ululations and the herald orders a dance and lyre for Ulysses. The bard and a group of dancers and singers sing and dance for Ulysses. Ulysses is overwhelmed and he laughs and yells at how the dancers flashed their feet and stroke the sacred dance floor. The self-conscious songs draw Ulysses’ mind out of his worries of his return home. The self-conscious song on recovering the kingdom Ulysses finds that the suitors had taken advantage of his absence, overruled the kingdom territory and wasted his wealth. They had courted and importuned his lovely queen, Penelope. Ulysses is inflicted with so much pain, and he shoots an arrow that strips off all the suitors. Ulysses, his lovely wife Penelope, their son Telemachus, and all the loyal retainers claim victory
