Amnon was Tamar’s stepbrother and both were David’s children. Tamar was requested by her father to serve Amnon with food. She prepared some cakes and took them to her brother who told her to send everyone away before he could eat (Cooper-White 2012). When she was serving him, Amnon took hold of her hand and requested her to lie with him. She refused and asked the brother not to force her into sex as it was against the beliefs of the Israelites but Amnon was adamant to Tamar’s pleas. Amnon grabbed her hand and proceeded to rape her (Cooper-White 2012). This shows that perpetrators exploit the services being offered to them by the less privileged. The cry of Tamar reflects how innocent people fall victim of assault while serving people they trust and respect and how the perpetrators do not heed their pleas. Women face violence and when they cry the society neither listen to them nor do anything about the violence. The action by Amnon and the words that he used is a reflection of domestic violence in our society on how perpetrators of such violence against the opposite sex silence the victims. Perpetrators also use harsh and strong words to maintain their control and power after they have committed the offences. They are determined not to see or recognize their victims in order to be free from the crime they commit (Cooper-White 2012). In the United States of America, an average of one woman is assaulted sexually in every two minutes (Cooper-White 2012). Forty-four percent of the individuals assaulted are aged less than 18 years while those under 30 years comprise of 80 percent. The assaults take the forms of sexual harassment, battering as well as rape (Cooper-White 2012). However, sexual assaults are mostly unreported among other crimes where more than 60 percent of the cases go unreported. People who are known by the victims constitute sixty-three percent of the sexual assaults (Cooper-White 2012). The perpetrators are usually friends to the victim or their acquaintances. Statistics show that in every three women, one is raped during her lifetime. Therefore, it would be wrong for the society to be silent when statistics are evident (Cooper-White 2012). When Pamela Cooper-white wrote the book titled The Cry of Tamar about the violence against women, she implied that violence takes place against both genders (Cooper-White 2012). The experience Tamar went through is not different from what is happening today. For example, her brother Amnon sexually assaulted her. This action took place at her own home when her brother took advantage of her kindness, which happened to be her most vulnerable trait leading to exploitation (Cooper-White 2012). This implies that most of the rape cases occur in familiar surroundings such as homes, offices or schools. There was no respect for Tamar even after she pleaded and said no to the brother. Even though Tamar cried loudly, the community did not come to her rescue. Most of the crimes committed today go unreported because no one cares to disclose once they happen. Violence does not have to be sexual assault but can be murder that affects everyone. The issues of assault should be discussed openly and the society i
Introduction The world has experienced power struggles ever since the existence of man. These struggles have been discussed variously by different authors. The advent of technology has also been integrated in the power struggles being experienced in the world. This paper shall offer a discussion on the manner in which technology has figured into struggles over power. In the discussion, the paper shall incorporate Michel Foucault’s theory of power, and offer a difference between “prescriptive” and “holistic” technologies as presented by Ursula Franklin. The concepts of David M. Kaplan regarding technology shall also be considered. Ursula Franklin: The Real World of Technology In her work entitled “The Real World of Technology”, Franklin engages practical and ideological aspects of technology in trying to conceptualise the manner in which technology impacts on the social relations at different levels. She also sought to redefine the aspect of power and accountability. Technology is regarded as something that involves various aspects such as organisation, procedures, and a mind-set among other aspects. It has been observed that technology developed in two ways. The first way is the aspect of technology that relates to work that allow for the actual practice. On the other hand, the control-based technologies that are meant to enhance control over the operations (Franklin, 1999). Most importantly, Franklin establishes two forms of technological development. These forms of technology emanates from the relationship between the initiator and consumer of the technology. In this respect, she came up with the “holistic” technologies and “prescriptive” technologies (Franklin, 1999). This has been supported by assertions that analysis of various societies and cultures across the world. The holistic technologies enable the initiator and the user of technology to be in control. On the other hand, the prescriptive technologies ensure that individuals are confined to certain functions in using the technology (Franklin, 1999). Technology has been incorporated into the capitalistic developments that are characterised in the modern world. This is in respect to the component of division labour inh
Tarzan is a fictional character who was adopted and raised in an African jungle by a group of apes after his parents died while being marooned in the jungle. When he is a young adult, Tarzan meets and falls in love with a woman known as Jane Porter after she and her father together with other explorers arrive from England to explore the jungle in Africa. In the movie, Tarzan is faced with the task of living in the jungle with his adopted parents or following Jane to England in the hopes of starting a civilized life. Love plays an important role in this movie because it is from Jane’s love that Tarzan begins to feel that he is different from his adopted family and it is his love for his adopted family which plays an important role in determining whether he will stay or leave the jungle. The main objective of this essay will be to evaluate the context of Tarzan’s decision to choose to live with the apes over the humans he had begun to love. This will involve reviewing important parts in the movie to gain an important insight of how Tarzan came to make his decision of choosing the apes over the human beings. It will also involve evaluating whether love (Tarzan’s love for his adopted family and for Jane Porter) played an important role in determining whether Tarzan would stay or leave the jungle for England. Assessing Tarzan’s decision and the context in which it occurred is important as it provides an important argument for this essay. Context of Tarzan’s Decision Lima and Buck who were the directors of Tarzan the movie which was done in 1999 provide an in-depth background of the myth behind the fictional character of Tarzan. The 1999 version of Tarzan pursues the question of why he is threatened by anyone else who is different from him given that this movie portrays him to be less confident than his fictional character. It can also be observed that this movie has mostly focused on how Tarzan is different from his adopted family and how this difference plays an important role in determining his choice of staying or leaving the jungle. The differences in his parentage and how he was brought up in the jungle especially become predominantly clear when he meets Jane Porter, her father Professor Porter and the other explorers who accompanied them to the jungle (Tarzan).These notable differences become important to Tarzan because he is able to connect with Jane on a human level after she teaches him how to speak in English. His human association with Jane al
Five Key Take-Aways from Steve Ballmer’s Speech for the Stanford Students It is always so interesting and educative to listen to the speeches of the people, who have already achieved something in this life and are ready to share their experience, knowledge, and hints on how to succeed. Ballmer’s work is probably one of the most captivating for me because this person can take several simple things, unite them, and create something amazing. His speech is his vision of how a successful business should be developed, and the five key ideas were taken from the speech help to realize that every person has enough powers, sources, and technological innovations to start working, can dream big and should stay optimistic all the time. In brief, the five key takeaways for me from Ballmer’s talk are as follows:  1. People should be full of optimism to have a desire to begin;  2. People live in a good time to begin any business;  3. People have access to the necessary sources to rely on;  4. People can use the current technological progress in science, education, and health;  5. People should never stop dreaming big. Now, I want to explain such a choice of mine and prove that these points do matter in the world of business and can help people in different situations. One of the initial stages all business beginners should pass through is to understand a personal desire. It is necessary to be optimistic to have and realize the goal, choose the most appropriate methods, and work with good people only. It is not enough to find a professional and believe that this kind of professionalism is everything that is needed. A person has to be good from all perspectives and use his/her qualities for good. Another important aspect of successful management is the ability to use the period that modern beginners live in. Today is the time when people can make free decisions, choose everything interesting to them, and even make mistakes that can be corrected fast. The only thing that people have to do is not to lose this good time available. Besides, people should not neglect all those sources and other important ingredients for business management. People, who do care, want, and can achieve the goals, are welcome to use the sources the world of technology offers. Technological progress is amazing indeed. Though not all people have a chance to enjoy the opportunities, those who are lucky enough should understand how to identify the most important sources and use them. The role of technological progress is
Abstract The purpose of this research is to determine why the rootkits are not malicious but might be used as a part of malware. What needs to be figured out is how different technologies can prevent rootkit attacks from occurring. Rootkits are sets of programs or codes allowing a permanent, consistent, and undetectable presence on a computer without an end user’s consent. The following paper reflects the Internet-based research conducted to find valuable, reliable, and concise data on the topic of rootkits. The works by digital forensics experts Molina et al. and cybersecurity researchers Hoglund and Butler are compared and contrasted to examine different perspectives on the issue of rootkits. The paper contains the evaluation of the experts’ theoretical approaches to detect which one is more effective for Internet and computer security. The findings of the research demonstrate how to protect computers from rootkits, expose the legitimate uses of rootkits, and predict the future of rootkit computer security. Introduction Internet and computer security aim to prevent threats to the confidentiality of users and detect vulnerabilities in digital environments. However, the efforts to protect personal data and sensitive information are undermined by cybercriminals inventing new methods and upgrading the existing malicious programs. The topic of rootkits is relevant today, as it concerns almost everyone who uses a computer or a mobile device. Molina et al. discuss timely rootkit detection in forensic investigations, while Hoglund and Butler offer the legitimate uses of rootkits. The following paper will expose the differences and similarities between the two theoretical approaches to the problem of rootkits. Main text The paper by Molina et al. is based on a defensive approach and offers a non-intrusive tool for rootkit detection that gathers information from system data utilities. Rootkits are described as dangerous as they “enable attackers to have undetected access to computer systems” and “hide an attacker’s presence by manipulating system data” (Molina et al. 140). The researchers support the idea by Hoglund and Butler, who claim that rootkit detectors and prevention software should be placed at the lowest privilege level, or Ring 3, as most rootkits operate there. The computer forensics experts describe rootkit categories, hiding techniques, and detection methods that should be considered for the development of the rootkit detection system. The authors categorize rootkits into kernel, library, user-level, hardware-level, and Virtual Machine Based Rootkits (VMBRs). VMBRs are difficult to detect as they are hidden in the virtual machine monitor (VMM), where malware functions unnoticed. According to Molina et al., the most common hiding techniques are patching (binaries modification), hooking (m
Title, Style, and Citation Meritor Sav. Bank, FSB v. Vinson – 477 U.S. 57, 106 S. Ct. 2399 (1986). Supreme Court of the United States, Web. In this title of the case, the bank’s name comes first since it is the loser who went to a higher court. The lawsuit was initially filed by a bank employee, Mechelle Vinson, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Facts of the Case Mechelle Vinson, a defendant and a former employee of the plaintiff bank, filed a lawsuit against the bank and its bank manager Sidney Taylor. She alleges that while working at the bank, she was sexually harassed by the manager in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1974, Meritor Savings Bank hired Mechelle Vinson, a black woman, as a cashier. Sidney Taylor was the vice president of the bank and the immediate manager of the new employee. Vinson claimed that Taylor coerced her into sexual relations with him and demanded sexual favors at work, including colleagues’ presence. For fear of losing her job, the cashier was forced to meet the needs of her boss. During her several years as a bank employee, Vinson estimates that she was sexually harassed by Taylor approximately 40 to 50 times, both during and after business hours ( Meritor Sav. Bank, FSB v. Vinson , 1) In November 1978, Vinson was fired, the reason why, according to Taylor, was the excessive use of sick leave. Following her dismissal, Mechelle Vinson filed a lawsuit against Sidney Taylor, alleging that sexual harassment by her boss created a “hostile working environment” and was a form of illegal discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Moreover, the woman sought an injunction and compensation from Taylor and the bank. Issue Does the Civil Rights Act prohibit the creation of a “hostile environment,” or is it limited to perceived economic discrimination in the workplace, including dismissal and demotion? Holdings Yes, the Supreme Court ruled that creating a hostile or abusive work environment is indeed a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Reasoning and Analysis
Domestic violence are two of the most highlighted cruelty in the Catholics’ point of view. These are household-related violence that the big victims are always the children. The hodgepodge of domestic violence and child abuse in different countries today is really disturbing. All aspects of the society – which starts from the smallest unit, that is the family, to the church and even to the government sectors – are all keen on finding solutions on how to eliminate, or at lest minimize the causes and effects of continuously increasing rates of domestic violence. However, as of now, it seems that the only way to survive is to have a strong self-encouragement to outwit the oppressor. But is this really effective for protection against domestic violence happening around? With today’s generation of people’s fascination with movie heroes like superman, batman and spiderman to save the land from tyranny increases, the thirst for justice about it also go sky-high. Man’s admiration for those superheroes was uncontrolled that the only thing that can be done is to hope and expect for some leaders who can solve these kinds of problems. Some people think that dilapidation of great leaders today will surely go along with the increase of domestic violence and child abuse because they think that the rules and law that governs each nation will not be implemented properly if without the efforts of their own leaders. C.J. Newton (2001) defines domestic violence as “ isn’t just hitting, or fighting, or an occasional mean argument. It’s a chronic abuse of power. The abuser tortures and controls the victim by calculated threats, intimidation, and physical violence. Actual physical violence is often the end result of months or years of intimidation and control .” Creating a cycle of violence, the origin behind the intended actions is the manifestations in the societal conditions such as poverty and greed for power and control. Some experiences like in most countries, violence against women is caused by patriarchal domination of men. Statistic shows that an estimate of 3 million women is physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year according to the Commonwealth Fund. Others are accounted to childhood problems that was not solved overtime, mental illness and authoritarianism (Commonwealth fund, 1999). With this data alone, it can be realized that domestic violence seems to be historically repeating within the family. Those who were once victimized by their own families or loved ones have the tendency to victimize their own kids and/or loved ones. This then gives an idea that domestic violence is also psychological problem in nature which makes it more challenging to solve, hence the continuous increase in the numbers of victims and oppressors. In America alone, there are 6,000 families recorded where men often abused their wives and children (Strauss, Gelles and Smith, 1990). Other worth-noting statistics include:   * There are at least one in every three women around the world who has been ‘beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime and what is most disturbing is the fact that most often than not, th
Introduction The traditional methods that have been used for budgeting and forecasting by most organisations over time are no longer useful in today’s business environment because they are generally considered to be very costly, too long and fail to accommodate the changing nature of the organisation and the business environment at large. Various scholars have highlighted the importance of budgeting and have argued that it helps improve the performance of an organisation (Lublin and Mattioli, par 2). Today’s volatile business environment has however made the budgeting process more difficult as business conditions keep changing requiring the organisation to adopt to these changes as they happen. There are several aspects of budgeting that have been identified as the main problems that a manager will encounter in the process of coming up with a budget in today’s business environment. These are the aspects that are discussed herein. Worst aspects of Budgeting Problems with people in the organisation The budgeting process involves a scenario where the departmental managers prepare their department budgets and forward them to the CFO of the company who then consolidates them into one maste
Introduction Dementia is a condition in which cognitive functions of brain decline due to disease or damage in brain. Dementia is a non specific illness syndrome in which affected areas may be memory, problem solving and language problems. Memory functions are first affected in this disease. There are different types of dementia includes: Huntington’s disease, Hypothyroidism, Parkinson’s disease, Vitamin B1 deficiency, Vitamin B12 ,deficiency, Folate deficiency, Syphilis, Subdural hematoma, Hypercalcaemia, Hypoglycemia, Aids dementia complex. Inappropriate behaviors in any disease are very common and in dementia different behaviors are common as in this disease memory function involves that’s why patient behaves abnormally. In this disease, patient gets mentally and physically disturb. Dementia patient needs more care and attention as patient’s behavior is more disturbing and needs more finance than any other disease. Behavior disturbances are very common in dementia; Lyketsos proved that each patient of dementia faces some behavioral disturbance at any point of time (Benjamin, 2004). Dementia occurs in adulthood; studies conducted over past three decades proved that adults usually are not sexually active. These studies proved that 50% – 80% people are not sexually active, 60% people were sexually active once in a month. Inappropriate sexual behavior is one of the common symptoms with dementia patients. Common behaviors include sex talk, sexual acts, and implied sexual acts. These behaviors are really embracing for relatives and other as they occur in private or public places (Barouche, 2002). According to one estimate about 60-70% dementia patient shows inappropriate behaviors mainly sexual behavior. Dementia is often thought, this disease is generally defined as a decline in thinking and remembering due to which individual gets unable to function independently (Practice guideline, 1997). Non pharmacological interventions of dementia are listed below: music therapy, bright-light therapy, exercise and recreational activities, pet therapy, social contact intervention, environmental modifications, and modification of activities of daily living care to meet individuals’ needs (Sobin, 2002). Literature reviews shows that three major classes of dementia treatments are often used: antidepressants, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics (Robert, 2006). Inappropriate behavior usually gives depressed effect but typically this term refers to observable behavior of dementia patients. Usually, Non pharmacological behaviors can be divided into four main categories: 1) physical behavior which includes kicking and biting 2) pressing and mishandling of objects 3) verbally non aggressive agitation 4) verbal agitation such as screaming and cursing. In past decades these disease and behaviors had been dealt with medicine, drugs and different treatments but OBRA 87 mandate have questioned to these treatments. In result of these treatments, inappropriate behavior increased as a result an over plus of non phar
