Introduction E-mall is a component of e-commerce where a server is equipped with external electronic stores via a network. In its simple procedure, electronic mall includes an assortment of e-shops, typically enhanced and managed under one roof or management. This enables customers access information about products, request and purchase products. It functions to enable clients to use external electronic stores over the e-mall server. An electronic mall system simply works as a shopping mall in a computer, and precisely provides a wide variety of electronic stores where each of them has information concerning the range of goods and services. The server on e-mall obtains a request from clients via a network and quickly provides them with the required data regarding several expected products and services. After the client places request for acquisition of goods from the operator, the electronic mall performs a transaction related to the buying of the product (Colin, 2012). Shipping is then performed the traditional way. History As a form of e-commerce, e-mall was first established in April 1984 by CompuServe as a component of the first comprehensive electronic commerce service in USA and Canada. It enabled CompuServe subscribers to purchase from traders such as American Express, Record world, Sears among others online without having to leave their location. Later in May 1984, it was incorporated in the directory of online shopping; therefore, the idea became very acceptable as a component of online marketing. This made e-mall, as a business model in the era of information technology, grow very fast. In August 1984 the e-mall directory continued to add columns and provide ideas of the range of online products. Since then, the process has not stopped to the present day. With the establishment of electronic mall, new ways of purchasing products and services have been created. Lots of benefits have been attributed to e-mall since its emergence, some of them include saving time, offering a wider variety of selection, enabling for autonomous research about markets and cost effectiveness. Link between e-mall and management information technology Management information technology involves controlling information technology resources in accordance with the requirements and objectives of the organization. Consequently, information technology management may also include basic components of management such as controlling, organizing, technical support, designing software and networking (McNurlin, Sprague, & Bui, 2009). The connection between e-mall and information technology lies in the fact that IT management defines the success of e-mall business. IT management plays a significant role in establishing and managing the relevant infrastructure needed in e-mall business. IT management systems and procedures steer the business strategies and enhance value creation. Advantages and disadvantages The internet has consistently continued to enhance the er
Introduction Providing opportunities for early childhood development is an essential step in creating an environment in which children will be able to acquire the skills and knowledge that will help them integrate into the community successfully. However, if the parents or the parent is neglectful, children are likely to fail to acquire the necessary abilities, thus, not only failing to gain the necessary knowledge but also developing a range of health issues, including problems with the cognitive development process (Hutchison, 2012). As the case study of a single mother, Aayla, and her children, Sasha (3 years old) and Cayley (1-year-old), shows quite graphically, there is a strong need to help the mother reconsider her parenting approach and use the strategies that will help reinforce early childhood development. Otherwise, Sasha and Cayley will be unable to acquire the necessary skills. Child 1: Sasha (3) Part I   * Completion of physical development tasks. The fact that Sasha does not copy her mother’s behavior in an attempt to develop the appropriate patterns clearly is a reason for concern. The fact that she cannot dress also shows that she needs further support from a cognitive development expert.   * Significant illness/disease. The cold can be viewed as a minor issue, yet the bruises on Sasha’s arms point to an obvious problem.   * Nutrition and exercise issues. Little to no information has been provided about the food that Sasha consumes. However, judging by the physical characteristics of the girl, i.e., her weight and height, it can be assumed that she is seriously undernourished (Marotz, 2014). Part II   * Cognitive development. Sasha’s cognitive development is currently threatened. Although her curiosity is typical for a child of her age, the lack of communication skills implies that she needs additional opportunities for cognitive development. It is important for her to create prerequisites for abstract thinking, which she may miss unless she is provided with an appropriate intervention (Hutchison, 2012).   * Cultural development. The lack of connection with the community may become the reason for the child to have a poor understanding of her culture and the associated needs. Therefore, it is imperative to provide her with the necessary information in a manner that will help her learn the associated inf
The case of the newly hired employee, who faces discrimination against women and immigrants, is a subject to the violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Anti-immigration discussions are objectively offensive to this Lebanese Christian employee since they are associated with inappropriate treatment and behaviors. In addition, the so-called “men talk” should not be tolerated by management, while the gag order that was set by the HR manager is not a good decision. Education about discrimination and encouragement of employees to avoid it are two main strategies that help in reducing negative behaviors. HR managers should react to all cases of discrimination to show the staff that mutual respect to differences is important for the creation of enjoyable workplace and productive work. Thus, the key goal of the HR manager is to be sensitive to any complaints of discrimination and respond to them immediately.
It is evident that in order to solve social problems that have an impact on the world, it is vital to recognize and understand them at first. Conducting social analysis is one of the ways that can help in this. First of all, it is important to define what this phenomenon exactly is. The term “social analysis” refers to a critical approach that allows people to dispute over social assumptions and evaluate them. This method is crucial since it requires an investigation of the ideas that inform people’s perspectives and practices. Furthermore, social analysis helps to analyze and understand a situation. Another reason for its importance is the fact that it studies the impact of such ideas on the population. There is no doubt that the current situation with COVID-19 created social changes. After all, the beginning of the pandemic stimulated several changes in various aspects of human life. Aside from making people practice social distancing, it also led to unemployment and decreased access to healthcare services for a large number of people. Therefore, it is possible to state that this issue negatively influenced many social groups, for example, older people, since they are at high risk of contracting this disease. That is why they are actively prevented from entering public places. Moreover, the outbreak had an adverse effect on the young population who faced such problems as drastic changes in the education system, the absence of jobs, and the resulting stress. For this reason, it can be said that the pandemic enhanced inequality among people. Analyzing these concerns while conducting social analysis may help to create effective solutions that will address issues in various spheres that have suffered from COVID-19.
Writing an essay on how I generate artistic ideas got me thinking about how this process works. In particular, I wanted to look at it both on an individual and a broader scale. I created a visual work inspired by the theme within a piece submitted in my portfolio which is a guided reflection of myself as a 16-year-old girl with long box braids in my hair sometimes the braids are diff colors to show how I express myself as an artist. Some of my art pieces are The Power Of The Braids, Vogue Magazine Cover Self-Portrait, Art Power, Braids Gone Wild, The Smile Behind The Mask, Creepy Spiders & Artful Kitchen Expression. The artistic, creative process that leads to the creation of pieces of visual art is the engine for generating ideas. Botella et al. (2018) conducted an exciting study in which they tried to identify the stages of the creative artistic process. As part of this study, they interviewed students of art schools to describe how they create their art pieces. It is noteworthy that each of the students describes the process of creating ideas in different ways, using various terms. However, in general, the stages identified are the same for all interviewees. This aspect surprised me because it made me clearly understand how I approach the process of generating ideas and choosing a subject for my visual art. The initial stage of the creative process is the identification of the problem or the definition of the goal of creation. For me, this stage consists of the need to search for the issue of interest to me in reality, as well as to examine it through the prism of my inner perception. The main task for me as an artist is the desire to describe objective phenomena from a subjective point of view. This combination, in my opinion, allows the artist to create a valuable piece of visual art. On the one hand, this work can relate to the viewer within a real range of problems, and on the other hand, it can affect feelings and emotions. I think that this initial stage of goal identification is the most important for the creation of art. After realizing the need to discuss a certain topic through visual art, I reflect on how this issue makes me feel. In particular, I consider how I can convey my inner perception to the viewer and what emotions it can evoke in other people. Yokochi and Okada (2020) note that “the formation of a creative vision requires many years of accumulation of art-making activities” (p. 542). Even though I feel quite confident in creating art, I am still actively developing in this area. I devote considerable time to improving my understanding of the pieces of art and also regularly take classes to perfect my technique. It took me a long time to decide on the method and medium of conveying my ideas. However, once I focused directly on my inner voice and perception, the creative process became rather natural and intuitive for me. Appealing to the emotions and feelings of the viewer through the expression of my perception of objects of reality for me is the basis of the creative process.
Introduction It appears that while working on her book My Life on the Road , Gloria Steinem was aiming to achieve two objectives: to highlight the significance of storytelling/listening, as the activity contributive to the cause of making this world a better place to live, and to promote the idea of women’s socio-economic empowerment, as such that has been predetermined by the objective laws of history. The author needs to be given credit for having succeeded in this particular undertaking, as well as in ensuring that many of the book’s themes and motifs appeal to the unconscious anxieties in readers – hence, the bestselling status of My Life on the Road . At the same time, however, there are a number of apparent weaknesses to Steinem’s book as well, the main of which is reflective of the author’s somewhat lessened ability to indulge in the systemic (cause-effect) type of reasoning. This paper’s sub-sequential parts will explore the validity of the above-suggested at length. Analysis There can be only a few doubts that My Life on the Road helps to enhance one’s understanding of social movements. The reason for this is that being concerned with the author’s personal experiences of informal socialization with different people across the planet, the book provides a strong humanist dimension to the cause of feminism, which in turn causes readers to relate to the book’s ideas/claims on an emotional level – something that naturally results in increasing the book’s overall appeal to the audience. At the same time, in her book Steinem succeeded in representing the cause of women’s liberation as such that has been brought about by the process of more and more women all over the world beginning to experience essentially the same desire to be able to live in the gender-egalitarian society. This implies that the social movement of feminism is, in fact, historically warranted – despite the fact that in the patriarchal society a woman’s strongly feminist stance is often considered symptomatic of her mental inadequateness. According to the author, however, this does not undermine the value of the concerned social movement as a “thing in itself”. As she noted: “The accusation that feminism is bad for the family leads to understanding that it’s bad for the patriarchal variety, but good for democratic families that are the basis of democracy”. Therefore, there is nothing odd about the fact that many critics refer to My Life on the Road in terms of

Introduction When a company becomes a multinational, it faces lots of new threats, challenges and some opportunities. If the possibilities of the future opportunities do not exceed the costs and threats, a company should not expand its business to the country. To overcome all the threats and challenges of new entry, the company must consider some factors of the present condition of the selected country. Not all the countries in the world are suitable for all kinds of business. A marketing manager would be successful internationally if he keeps these four things in mind and communicate these 4 things to the customers four ‘C’s: Consumer solution, custome
Background The concerned article examines the effects of alternative energy medicine, Reiki in this case, on women with surgical interventions. Reiki has been increasingly considered a palliative and stress reducer intervention in surgeries and in treating cases of post-surgical stress. Reiki Research Foundation has listed improvements in cases of Multiple Sclerosis and M.E. when Reiki treatments were given. This particular article compares the rehabilitation of two groups of women who have had an abdominal hysterectomy. One group undergoes standard post-operative nursing care while the other group is given repetitive sessions of Reiki. There was a significant improvement in patient’s condition and decrease in stress cum pain for patients receiving Reiki interventions (Anne et al, 2003). Summary of an article with the analysis Reiki has been around for some time and clients and practitioners are increasingly making use of this methodology to alleviate symptoms relieve stress and improve well-being. The authors, deliberate on consumer-driven interest in this methodology so the push, for using alternative therapy modes like these, may come from the recipient clients or customers. This also suggests that authors are not sold on using a methodology like Reiki out of their consent and present grudging acceptance of this intervention technique, saying its “societal demands”, (Anne et al, 2003) that is driving adoption of alternative care systems like Reiki. Reiki allows the empowerment of the clients and they start feeling in control of their health. Holistic practices that are non-invasive and do not require expensive equipment are more readily embraced. Reiki has based on the premise that illness is a physical manifestation of imbalance in the energy body and healing is consequent to the energy body returning to a state of harmony, Yin/Yang balance (Anne et al, 2003)! Reiki Pitfalls Reiki involves hands-on healing much like Touch Therapy (TT) and Healing Touch(HT). Authors provide scientific evidence for energy flow in Reiki healing shows that Reiki healing relaxes the body making it conducive towards self-healing. During the study, there is no specific methodology for preventing any untoward effects from Reiki treatments. There is a possibility of increased trauma because of energy treatments because of psychological distress or through refusal to accept Reiki’s healing efficacy- no mention of these possibilities are mentioned. The Rogerian theory also is based on the interaction of man and the environment as a continual interaction between energy fields and the human energy field if strong will lead to a healthier human being. This very foundation raises a question mark if the will is not strong enough to positively affect the patient? About the possibility of the vulnerability of patients – patients undergoing traumatic surgery which not only has acute after operation pain but also trauma due to affectation of femininity – thus the patient is venerable to any treatment which may allay pain. Authors extend Rogerian principles in HT and TT, saying these m
The novel Cement by Gladkov vividly portrays social and political relations in Soviet Russia and their impact on the life of ordinary citizens. The main events took place in the 1920s when Bolsheviks came to power. The novel demonstrates that one of the true insights of Communism is its understanding of the manner in which all human institutions and activities become perverted to the selfish use of particular groups. Whereas progressive liberalism has hoped for progress through the general education and enlightenment of man, the sectarians and the Communists understand that it will take more than persuasion and education to unseat the powerful from their places of domination. In this sense, we must understand the sectarian note of apocalyptic judgment upon the rich and powerful. From the very beginning, the novel portrays that social and personal relations in Russia were determined by the Communist Party and communist ideology. In the novel, the communist hero Gleb cannot tolerate that after his return from the war his wife Dasha turns out to be “a free Soviet citizen” (Gladkov, p. 52), who sees in him more a comrade than a husband. She tells him that in his absence she almost had to pay with her life for her part in revolutionary activities and after her liberation has become accustomed to free sexual intercourse with other comrades. She wants her husband Gleb to accept this way of life and is not jealous of herself when another woman tries to win his love. As Gleb cannot conquer his jealousy of her lover, she rebukes him: “You need a woman as a slave you are a good leader but in your life a bad communist” (Gladkov 78). Both husband and wife are so much occupied by Party work that there is no more any question of home life. When after a heavy day’s work they meet in their room, they feel that the thought of personal happiness is: “worthless” (Gladkov, p. 296). The fact about Revolutionary Russia is that the powerful groups have shown no tendency whatsoever to allow the state to wither away. Quite the contrary, they have been steadily increasing and maintaining their autocratic power. Some of them, like the Communists, wanted a dictatorship, not of the proletariat but of the saints. Its result would have been identical to that of Soviet Russia. But the wiser of them understood that since man used positions of power to exploit the common good, the only solution was to make these positions of power subject to the contro
The independence of the duke of Burgundy greatly influenced the personality of Louis XI from the time his father Charles VII was king, Louis intrigued with his father and he was sent off to the province of Dauphine and took refuge with Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, who received him eagerly. The Death of Charles VII was a result of the poison that was convinced to have been done by his son who was under the refuge of the duke of Burgundy. It is possible that his “good uncle” assisted the son to kill his father because after Charles VII died, Louis XI made his entry into Paris and he was accompanied by his “good uncle” the duke of Burgundy, and immediately on arrival, he dismissed his father’s counselors, only to recall the best of them once his first wave of anger had passed. Even before he took over from his father Charles VII he had defied him by marrying the daughter Duke of Savoy against his father’s loyal will. Because of the influence, he made an achievement as the first modern ruler to be sensitive to economic realities (Calmette 1963: pp.87-98) Louis XI’s methods; Louis XI was of a composed character, during the battlefield, he preferred to negotiate with his enemies rather than confront them, and in case he would not win the enemies he would try to immobilize them by secret maneuvers, trickery, and even corruption. The network of his secret intrigues, spread throughout Europe which made him a “universal spider” as he was referred to by Charles the Bold. He dismissed his father’s counselors, he was the firm sole master, and he even distrusted the great lords and treated them harshly. Louis XI had constable St. Pol beheaded and cardinal Balue imprisoned in an iron cage and showed great confidence in a small number of associates of lower-class origin like his doctor, Coitier his barber, Olivier le Dain, and Tristan the Hermit, who was the head of a special tribunal charged with summarily judging the king’s enemies. His main concern was to expand taxable wealth and as a result, he took certain measures to encourage trade and industry by encouraging English merchants to return to Bordeaux, tried to secure the Levant trade, sent trade missions abroad, established affairs, and introduced the silk industry to Lyons and Tours www.titeu.com: pp.87-98). The Salic law; during the Burgundian succession, inheritance fell to Mary, the only child as a result of the great struggle. At this time Louis XI was in a good position, but because of the indecent haste with which he acted, it compromised his efforts, as he hurriedly sought to have Mary marry his son but he was too young and as a result, he seized the duchy of Burgundy, Picardy, and Artois without waiting. But Mary instead gave her hand to Maximiclian of Hapsburg, however, Mary’s accidental death as a result of war made Louis XI retain Picardy and the duchy of Burgundy. At the end, France also received Franc he-Comte and Artios (Calmette 1963: pp.98-106). Louis XI was succeeded by his cousin Louis XII, who was also caught up in the Italian mirage although his internal government showed some merit.
