Since the fifteenth century, tourism has emerged as a reliable sector in different economies across the world (Matt 2004). However, the economies that benefit from it most are those that posses unique features since, in any given country, the number of both domestic as well as foreign tourists visiting different places of interest is usually tremendous (Richards & Hall 2003). In addition to this, the tourists, once they have visited the site, will always desire to visit that country again, this is contrary to the situations with countries where there are no such attractions. Nowadays, many efforts are advanced in an effort towards seeing sustainable tourism prevail (McGowan 2001, p. 55). Sustainable tourism is a term commonly used to refer to tourism which goals are management of applicable resources, such as the aesthetic, social as well as the economic needs that are to be met, while maintaining various aspects, such as cultural integrity, systems for life support as well as biological diversification. According to scholars, tourism has to be developed in order to become sustainable (McGowan 2001, p. 57). According to them, development of sustainable tourism is a process, and as such, it is intended to meet the present tourist’s needs as well as host communities, where the attractions exist, while still enhancing as well as safeguarding future goals. Many initiatives are to be established to change the nature of tourism (Swarbrooke 2009, p. 42). However, despite this, the sustainable tourism practices have not yet spread across the industry because the stakeholders of tourism are still divided on how to improve the sustainability of tourist destinations (Antonio 2000, p. 12). The purpose of this paper is to evidence the divisions that prevail among the stakeholders, with regard to the way the tourist destinations can be made sustainable, that hinders the spreading of sustainable tourism practices across the tourism industry (Goodwin 2000, p. 12). Stakeholders within this sector play a major role in ensuring that this form of tourism is successfully developed. A stakeholder can be a person or a group that can influence or even be influenced whenever a business goal is attained. To understand the underlying debate first, it is necessary for one to acknowledge who the stakeholders within the sustainable tourism industry are (Matheson & Wall 2002). There exist various active non-governmental organizations that advocate and follow up to ensure that the right measures and policies are implemented towards achieving the effective development of sustainable tourism (Matheson & Wall 2002). As such, they play major roles which are spearheading practices associated with sustainable tourism development to conducting research, especially on issues that hinder the development of the given sphere (Jones 2005, p. 435). Tourists A tourist can be described as a person who leaves his geographic region temporarily with an aim of making a tour just for pleasure to see other countries and cultures (Twining-ward & Butler 2002). They are also significant stakeholders within the sustainable tourism
Introduction The leader is a coveted position for which many individuals strive. However, it is not always apparent what makes someone fit for such a role as there have been many different strategies for achieving one’s goals. There is some advice one can follow to achieve the same level of success in this area, which is outlined in Kouzes and Posner (2003). The purpose of this paper is to describe six lessons to becoming a good leader. The Lessons First of all, it is vital for the leader to focus on the future. If an individual is the head of an organization, they should be able to “imagine the attractive opportunities that are in store when they and their constituents arrive at a distant destination” [1]. This will help inspire their employees as they will know towards which they are working. Secondly, leaders have to understand that they cannot achieve their goals on their own. These rules will help create a sense of unity within the organization. Thirdly, the people occupying the highest position need to lead by example. The fourth lesson would entail learning that a leader always needs to consider their credibility. The employees need to have a role model for the way one needs to work to achieve one’s goals. It is important to remember that “titles may be granted, but leadership is earned” [1]. If the head of a company or an organization does not check the requirements that they ask of their workers, they will lose their position. The fifth lesson asks the leaders to continue learning despite reaching the top of the hierarchy. There is always room to grow, and a willingness to continue improving one’s skills can be a good example for the employees. It is essential for leaders “to anticipate, respond to, and continually learn from the stream of emerging challenges to organizational prosperity” [2]. Lastly, it is important to remember that overcoming obstacles helps achieve an organization’s success. Conclusion It is not always clear what makes a good leader, as there are many different strategies one can employ. This paper outlines six important lessons to becoming a good head of a company. Most of them focus on being a good example to the employees and continuing the learning process. These rules will help create unity within the organization, which will aid in working towards the common goals.
Introduction When writing a compare and contrast essay one thing that should come to mind is that two dissimilar issues require that one bring out distinction and alikeness if any. In this case, Art history and information technology have no connection. The writer must choose the specific aspects in the two subjects he/she intends to compare. This is because it is not practical to compare two issues as a whole. Another thing to note is that the essay has to be divided into three parts including the introduction, body, and conclusion. (Reif-Lehrer, 2004). The writing processes. Brainstorming The writing process of a compare and contrast essay is pretty much similar to another essay only that in the thesis statement, the writer must provide his opinion on the subject and perhaps sustain it throughout the essay then organize the data into a coherently flowing piece so that it yields a meaningful argument (Essay writing Tips, 2007). After the thesis statement one may choose to concentrate on each subject separately and discussing each fully then give a summary of the basic elements of contrast and similarity. There are various ways of delivering each paragraph in your compare and contrast essay namely; one-side-at-a-time format, the point-by-point format, and the analogy format. Art history and information technology fall in the category of an analogy because there is nothing similar in the two disciplines. Before indulging in the writing process the writer will brainstorm on the topic by asking him/herself some basic questions. (www.rscc.cc.tn.us) For example; what do art history and information technology have in common? What do I already know about the two subjects? What needs to be researched? How do I clearly articulate the points of contrast and similarity? These basic questions will guide the writer in establishing what the purpose or perspective of the essay is going to be. In addition, to write a good comparison and contrast essay it is important to draw from your observations and research on the similarities and differences in their raw form. This is because one will often find himself stuck with little information on the topic of discussion or lack factual information to back the arguments hence necessitating the research. (Eschholz & Rosa, 2007). The actual writing After the brainstorming and research session then comes the actual writing. First and foremost, as pointed out earlier, a good compare and contrast essay has an introduction that gives a reader a pick into what the essay is all about. At this point, a thesis statement is mandatory because it avoids the risk of straying away from the subject of losing coherence in the essay. In addition, as in any other essay writing, an introduction prepares the reader for what to expect, it gives a frame of reference or rather, gives a context within which the issues one intends to compare and contrast are placed. The same principle also applies when writing a compare and contrast essay. The writer’s skills and abilities to critically analyze the similar and contrasting issues come to play. This is especially the
Introduction The magical notion of alchemy is a modern construction. In accordance to this notion, a serious journal of science a completely wrong place for alchemy. But history believes otherwise. It is believed that the history of sciences is strongly interlinked with the scientific disciplines and the concept of “world-view”. This refers to the image of the world along with a phase of cultural development. The birth of this concept was found through the merger of the philosophies of Aristotle with Christian theology and for centuries predominantly found in Europe of the middle Ages and Renaissance. The birth of the “scientific revolution” in natural philosophies in the sixteenth and seventeenth century was identified to be a cultural event associated with great names like Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton (Hankins 1985, 1). This revolution produced the “new philosophy” which was characterized by mechanical rational and empirical philosophy was born out of the magical element of the medieval world-view. History of alchemy has been widely researched and there are different schools of thoughts who present diverse view on the subject and its practices. The roots of the modern sciences are embedded in alchemy which was practiced in early medieval Europe. The history of alchemy is colored by views of rejection of obscurity that arose out of Enlightenment and the Romantic disorientation of Newtonian science that led to a nascent development of occult (Principe and Newman 2001, 385). The mention of alchemy has been found in Europe since A.D 800 to the middle of seventeenth century and its practitioners ranged from kings, clergymen, popes, parish clerks, smiths, dyers, and tinkers (Holmyard 1990, 15). There are references of alchemy in literary works of Shakespeare, Chaucer (in Canterbury Tales), and Ben Jonson (in the Alchemist). The European Alchemy was bounded by the Aristotelian matter theory. As we have seen, the alchemy that was practiced till the seventeenth century slowly evaporated with the ascent of the science which started growing in the seventeenth century itself. This paper argues that the study of the modern sciences was born out of the medieval alchemy. The main aim of this paper is to understand if the erstwhile alchemy as practiced in the medieval Europe have birth to sciences or it was through the enlightenment of the early seventeenth century? Are these two different or same? Did alchemy give birth to physics, chemistry, botany, astrology, psychology, medicine, and so on and so forth? In this paper, we first trace the history of alchemy in brief and its contribution to the development of modern day science. Then we study the famous men of history who devoted their time in stud

Products and Services As seen earlier, Event Pace Group Company has varied products and services, which are sold to multiple event organizers. But in this case, Event Pace Group Company has developed a software product known as ‘i-EventSoft planner’, as a product, and intends to sell the product to interested event organizers and companies. The event industry can use this software product to increase its operational efficiency and at same time increase its revenues and profit levels. The motivation of the company in developing this product is guided by the increasing digitalization of the society, whereby information technology is becoming important in society. The society is moving towards technology and people are finding it convenient when an efficient technology is used. Some areas the technology can be useful in the event industry is in the client product and service ordering, visitor and client registration, payments, customer management services, and many more. At the same time, an efficient technology is likely to eliminate the workload and inefficiencies brought about by paperwork and manual process of registration and ordering. In similar manner, an efficient technology is likely to centralize operations of an organization thus enabling the organization make its work faster, efficient and product with reduced errors or inconveniences. In modern world, competition and customer demands and needs force companies to be constantly innovative with regard to identifying the best strategies to address numerous consumer needs in the most satisfying way (Bridge, O’Neil and Cromie, 2003). As a result, the new sof
Introduction Human growth, personality development and problem solving skills are a vital aspect of societal development and well as academic attributes which an individual should not only possess but apply in al life challenges. Towards this, it is the responsibility of every parent as member of a society not only to take care of the children but also to know how to help the children pass early childhood stage in life smoothly. This will help the children to adopt desirable character traits which make them responsible citizen of a country. “Crisis analysis is a critical aspect in prevention and management of crisis in human life” (Soifer, 2009) and (Masters, 2003). It is prudent to note that human life is full of challenges that require amicable solutions. Towards this, it is important to for human being to analyze the challenges in life and offer solution to them. This will go along way in curbing the negative impact of crisis in the society. Teaching mathematics is quite important and plays a pivotal role in knowledge development among the students. In this regard, to provide students with the right insight and channel of mathematics, a procedural vivid program of teaching and understanding is necessary. Towards this, the whole concept of studying mathematics boils down to three main components; conceptual understanding, procedural fluency and problem solving. In addition, the concept of mathematics is not only critical to problem solving in human life but also in everyday business. According to Soifer, (2009), “A well organized instructional programs should enable all students to build a new mathematical knowledge. The concept of mathematic in solving problem and decision making is crucial and should be learnt at early stages of life. This will give the students an easy time developing critical thinking at early stages of academic life. In the process of mathematical problem solving there exist a number of methods which are used. These include, one step problem, multi-step problems and process problem. In most cases, student encounter multi-step problems or process problems and the workings and solution to these problems involves a collaborative and procedural knowledge. This paper takes a critical analysis and a presentation on NYS Math Standards on Problem solving and further looks into the impact and role of mathematical problem solving concept in knowledge development. Pedagogical skills of problem solving Mathematical topics and skills can be easily got from active participation among the students. This is because participation enhances their ability to conceptualize and carry out a logical problem analysis and solution. Participation among the student will go along way in preparing each one of them to the task of solving real life problem as they occur. In this regard, “participation in problem solving should be encouraged among the students”(Masters, 2003).In the task of problem solving, students normally em
Expected Outcomes and Benefits Currently, the rate of breastfeeding among minority women is too low, which can lead to detrimental outcomes. Research indicates that African American women face more obstacles to breastfeeding than other population groups (Jones, Power, Queenan, & Schulkin, 2015). The core barrier among these is the lack of education on breastfeeding. Thus, the expected outcome is the improvement of breastfeeding exclusivity in the target population. The benefits of such a consequence are evident, the major one being the improvement of newborns’ health and immune system (Gertosio, Meazza, Pagani, & Bozzola, 2016). Also, breast milk has the potential to safeguard babies against infectious illnesses and promote their cognitive development, as well as to scale down infant mortality and enhance their recovery during a disease (Gertosio et al., 2016). Furthermore, the incidence of newborn falls and drops is likely to decrease once the program is successfully implemented (The Joint Commission, 2018). Chronic diseases, the rate of which can be reduced by breastfeeding, include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and heart disease (Binns, Lee, & Low, 2016). Therefore, the positive effects of the project on infants are numerous and crucial. Apart from a range of advantages breastfeeding can bring about for newborns, there are also benefits for mothers. Most importantly, the women who breastfeed are less likely to develop breast or ovarian cancer (Schwarz & Nothnagle, 2015). Besides, breastfeeding mothers’ metabolic health is better than in those who do not breastfeed (Schwarz & Nothnagle, 2015). Finally, the risk of diabetes and heart disease among those who breastfeed is lower. Aim Statement The purpose of the suggested project is to change the attitude towards breastfeeding among African American women by means of enrolling them in an educational program. The insufficient rate of breastfeeding in this population group poses a threat both to newborns and their mothers. Hence, the aim of the change is to introduce a positive tendency among the participants and make it a stable trend in the long run. Measures for Improvement Efforts Outcome Measures Outcome measures commonly help to identify how the suggested change will affect the values and well-being of patients. The program on breastfeeding education can be assessed by the rate of participants who change their unhealthy practice of non-breastfeeding into the healthy choice to breastfeed. Hence, the outcome measure will be the increase in women be
Introduction Human beings have been faced with numerous psychological and neurological disorders for as long as they have existed. According to Robins and Regier, a number of these diseases and disorders do alter the normal functioning of the body system particularly the brain (1999). The manifestation of the diseases and disorders are usually through abnormal behavioral orientations and related mental symptoms. Psychiatric disorders, as defined by Salters-Pedneault, refers to any behavioral or mental/cognitive symptoms that cause a person to be very distressed, the individual may be paralyzed in one way or another thus making him/her very much exposed to various disabilities, pain, and may sometimes cause death (2009). However, all these manifestations need to be experienced by an individual for a period not less than two weeks in order to be categorized as a psychiatric disorder. It is important to note that temporary mental states such as grief resulting from the loss of a relative or a close friend may not be considered psychiatric in nature. The research paper discusses schizophrenia as a neurological disorder. Behavioral Symptoms and Functional Deficits Schizophrenia has been known as one of the most common neurological disorders especially in the United States. This disorder is highly chronic, harsh, and with the capability of paralyzing the victims brain and hence cognitive abilities. An individual suffering from the disorder usually develops improper perception of reality. According to Salters-Pedneault (2009), it is normally associated with auditory delusions or hallucinations, distorted thinking as well as talking patterns, and a general dysfunction in the social and occupational dimensions of everyday life. Furthermore, a schizophrenic normally exhibits notable cognitive deficits like memory loss, asocial characteristics, and a general lack of concern. For individuals prone to develop the disorder, the early stages of adulthood are usually associated with the commencement of schizophrenia. Most significantly, schizophrenia may only be detected by the use of personal experiences and observable behavior of the victim due to the fact that laboratory testing has not yet been developed. Neurological Basis A number of theories to explain schizophrenia as a disorder have been put forward. In general, according to research findings by Robins and Regier, an individual’s genetic composition as well as the environment that one is brought up in and related neurological factors has been associated with the onset of schizophrenia (1999). A neurological basis of this disorder may be linked to a disproportion of the neurotransmitters (chemicals in the brain) and brain-structure distortion. Neurological researchers have found that too much neurotransmitter dopamine, glutamate, amino-butyric acid, serotonin, among others may be associated with schizophrenia disorder. Many research findings reveal that the actual causes of schizophrenic characteristics have not been established yet (Gattaz & Busatto, 2009). Furthermore, as identified earlier, the neurological bas
