According to Stee’s words, “Whether due to lack of funds, complacency or the lack of commitment to ensuring the safety of staff, guest and property is not just scary…. in ensuring security of an hotel..”, hotel management should not be based on internal factors. Certainly, his statement is not true on the consideration that; many hotels ought to be well managed by ensuring the availability of various social requirements like security; which would enhance their success. In contrast to Stee Shellum’s statement, the lack of funds, lack of commitment to ensuring the safety of the staff, guests, and properties, and complacency are the main arising issues that ought to be well considered when planning on hotel security as they form the main intrinsic factors affecting hotels performance. On this basis therefore I don’t agree with Stee’s words that; the lack of funds, complacency, or lack of commitment to ensure safety in the entire hotel fraternity does is not a threat to a hotel as evidenced in the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Newmarket and Accommodation Glasgow west end(Raymond, 2009). Perhaps, by having adequate funds, a hotel would enhance the provision of enough facilities for the hotel; leading to guaranteed security within the hotel. As it has been revealed, much insecurity in hotels arises from fire outbreaks in cookers and lighters and therefore, provision of enough and adequate cooking and lighting facilities would guarantee security to an extent. As a matter of fact, in the hotel industry, the main arising issues are more in the management aspects within hotels themselves but not so much affected by the external environment. Hotel security has its basis on the availability of enough funds to acquire the necessary facilities in the hotel on top of requiring highly competitive management personnel in allocating the resources more effectively. For instance, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Newmarket is one of the mismanaged hotels in Canada; in which due to lack of enough funds, most of the pieces of equipment used there is not secure for both the workers and guests, as they are very dilapidated (Raymond, 2009). Meanwhile, the commitment by various identities within a hotel in its entire management system is of crucial significance in ensuring security within a hotel. In this case, the management personnel in a hotel ought to be well devoted to ensuring the availability of security within a hotel. Certainly, as it has been revealed by various researchers, commitment in any social organization plays a very crucial role in ensur
Introduction Dunkin’ Donuts has experienced massive success in this region, and the decision to open five new stores has just come at the right time. However, the success that has been experienced in the recent past does not guarantee that the firm will be successful once the five new stores are officially launched. In order to achieve success, it is important to have a team of dedicated staff, and a management unit that understand the internal and external environmental factors. It is important to put structures in place that will help the firm overcome some challenges that it may face in these new locations. The decision of the owner of this company to promote me to the level of district manager in charge of the five new stores came as a surprise. It means that I have to deliver good results as the new manager of the region that is yet to be tested. This is a big challenge that requires dedication and skills in order to meet the expectations of the investor. It news a clear plan that will be used in order to set up a functional system that will be as effective as the branch that I acted as its manager for the past few years. This plan seeks to define the job design, organizational design, recruiting and selection strategies, training, and performance appraisal that will be used to manage the five new outlets. Job Design According to Aaker (2001), developing an effective job design is one of the most important tasks when managing human resource. On one hand, a manager needs an employee who is dedicated to his work and is very efficient. On the other hand, an employee needs an understanding manager who gives them room to be creative in order to remain motivated in the workplace. When developing the job design, the focus will be to ensure that the employees are well motivated and that they are efficient in addressing their assignment by assigning them tasks that they have the capacity to handle. The design will also help in eliminating cases of repetitiveness at work. Given the fact that the firm will be opening new outlets, it will be important to understand how the internal and external forces interact in defining job design at the new units. The figure below shows some of the major factors that will affect job design Figure 1: Factors that Affect Job Design. Source (Gottschalk, 2006) The organizational factors are internal structures within the organization that defines job design. These outlets will offer a variety of beverages and donuts. When planning different tasks, the management will classify the tasks into five main categories. These categories include the cooks, the waiters, the accountants, nutritionists, and casual laborers. These tasks will be defined further in order to determine how each employee will be assigned different tasks based on job requirements and their personal capabilities. Environmental factors will also influence job deign that will be used, especially when determining how to assign different tasks. Issues such as religion, language barrier, and general perception of the society will define who will be interacting directly with the customers and who will be assigned back
In the justice system, the prosecutor is one of the most basic and important parts. As a person directly participating in trials and interacting with people, a prosecutor has to have a variety of skills and knowledge necessary to accomplish their goals. Generally, a person in this position is responsible for proving a person’s guilt in court, meaning interpreting events and actions in accordance with the accepted law and striving to drive criminals to justice. With the changes in the social climate, the role of a prosecutor has been changing gradually, especially in the juvenile justice scene. With the increase in the general population, the rates of crime are also rising, which means a larger amount of child criminals. A qualified prosecutor must not only argue for the guilt or innocence of a person but also present as a role model for young people, as a figure of authority in their community (Backstrom). A person in this position needs to work not only as an advocate of a particular person but the general society and their surrounding community. Decisions of a prosecutor are now made on the notion of overall good, not the benefit of a single individual (Backstrom). Additionally, community values must be upheld and seen in high regard. To ensure that all people in a particular area have the ability to live happy and fulfilling lives, a prosecutor should be aware of the gener
Health Law is expected to boost Medicaid enrollees in managed care Tonya Bauserman, who was insured by HealthCare USA, a health care plan managed by Medicaid, got a knee injury and sought medical assistance from Columbia. HealthCare USA failed to cater to her medical bills. Bauserman was annoyed with the incident. However, it is common because the number of physicians in the care units managed by Medicaid is not enough to adequately serve a large number of patients. HealthCare USA is owned by Coventry Health care. Mathew Eyles, the spokesman, stated that the company had good networks but assist patients but failed to give comments in the case of Bauserman. Medicaid federal program is established in the USA to deal with health matters of the poor and the disabled. HealthCare USA is a privately managed sector providing health care services to more than 50 million patients. The number keeps on increasing, and by 2014, it is approximated that the number will have increased by 16 million people. The question of whether care managed by Medicaid is good for patients to remain a debatable issue because the enrolled people are only supposed to seek assistance within the plan’s network. In the traditional Medicaid, in which payment was offered for services provided, patients have the freedom of seeking medical assistance from any willing doctor. Some experts like James Verdier prefer traditional Medicaid because of the freedom to choose doctors, improved quality, and it is cost-effective. Managed care units are trying to expand their strategies to accommodate large numbers of patients because they have the opportunity. Insurers Clash with Health Providers as States Expand Medicaid Managed Care The number of Medicaid recipients in Florida is about 3 million. Activists of HMO and home nursing industries are working out bills generated by the large numbers of recipients. The nursing home representative wants to ensure efficient inclusion of all facilities in HMO long-term contracts. HMO representative has no problem with the nursing representative’s demands but is mainly concerned with the hospital. Hospitals in Florida are aiming at establishing hospitals to help in the management of Medicaid patients at low costs. The main challenge is competition for money and control of the institutions in the country. Half of the patients under Medicaid programs are in the private sector, where chances of choosing hospitals and doctors are limited. The rest have freedom of choice on where to go for medical help. Programs managed by Medicaid are growing. Uni
In essence, all the models of organizational change are similar because they facilitate the reordering of existing structures, practices, and rules. The main difference between them lies in the greater or smaller number of details and specific approaches to describing the process. I find Hiatt’s ADKAR model to be the most concise, and the method of introducing changes that it suggests to be very effective. What appeals to me most is that ADKAR arranges the change in a way that it eventually comes not from the top management but the employees. Apart from strategic planning and outlining targeted results, it requires a series of measures for preparing employees. Compared to other models, ADKAR is more difficult and time-consuming, but, in the end, it guarantees a smooth transition to the new desired position that is imposed not from the outside, but is born within the group of colleagues. I like the approach when employees become active participants in the change, contribute to the common cause, and do not accept the new order passively. It gives an opportunity for more personal insights and ideas, possibly some unexpected and creative opinions and suggestions from workers who become involved in the process and support the initiative. However, there is a strong possibility that not all the employees would welcome and accept the changes, some of them might leave, but it is only natural. Those who advocate the change actively should, as a result, become more loyal to the company, more conscious of their role in working processes, value their contribution, and that of their colleagues. The aspect I see as the advantage of the ADKAR model also contains certain disadvantages, wh
Future Methods of Payments   * Apple pay   * Crypto payments   * Biometric authentication   * Wearables   * Online applications Threats   * Lack of control   * Data leakage   * Lack of customer awareness Innovations in technology have affected the financial world to a great extent, leading to the digitalization of payment. Nowadays, when a large number of financial transactions occur in the online environment, new methods of payment are required to improve the efficacy and security of the process. Currently, several possibilities for online payment exist; these include Apple pay, crypto payments, tools based on biometric authentication, wearables, and online applications (Bezovski 2016). Although most of them offer faster management of financial transactions, there are significant security concerns due to the threat of data leakage and similar problems. The lack of control over data transfer currently lies at the core of the security problem. Future methods of payment need to be supported with innovative approaches toward data encryption to minimize the probability of identity theft or the leakage of customers’ personal information (Bezovski 2016). Internet of Things   * Openness to cyberattacks;   * Lack of preparedness toward the threat;   * The unpredictability of the cloud security levels; Lack of education and awareness among users   * Openness to online threats;   * Authentication-related concerns;   * Need for systemic education bout e-payment issues. Absence of AI for identifying fraudulence   * Failure to recognize emergent threats;   * Inability to track down the source of online fraud;   * Drop-in financial security levels. The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), which suggests that people should submit personal information to online storages multiple times aggravates the concern, making customers especially vulnerable to cyberattacks (Radanliev et al. 2018). The lack of preparedness as an inherent problem of most future methods of payment, primarily, the cloud, is another reason for concern. Therefore, it is highly recommended that people’s personal information should be protected by reinforcing security by educating customers and developing artificial intelligence for identifying fraud and preventing it from happening.

Introduction The intention to create an equal and fair society has a number of moments when people put everything on the line to achieve the desired outcomes. First feminist movements occurred in the middle of the 19th century and provoked the proclamation of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Black women realized that society considerably decreased their ambitions compared to white women. They wanted to identify their possibilities and rights through the prism of black feminism or womanism. Women of color set clear goals in relation to various social events, which resulted in the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Today, feminist authors seek to include themselves in the feminist movement in different ways. This paper aims at analyzing the positions of Martha S. Jones and Treva B. Lindsey about black women’s rights legalization. Compared to Jones, who believes in “unparalleled advocates of universal suffrage in its true sense,” Lindsey does not support the relegation of the “voices and experiences of women of color to the background.” 1 , 2 Womanism brought positive social changes, but Jones’ celebration statement remains a weak tenet, enhancing Lindsey’s premise to continue struggling for black women’s rights today. Definitions of Feminism and Womanism The development of a nation requires certain shifts in human relationships and notions’ understanding. When differences between male and female needs were evident, the society coined the term “feminism.” Many thinkers explain sexual politics as one of the reasons for a world crisis where domination politics plays an important role. 3 However, in their intentions t
Summary of the Readings Author’s Main Point In her essay, Atwood (1990), through her eyes and those of her family, describes how people’s perception of the female body as a sex object with accessories has been normalized in society. In their book, Shaw and Lee (2011) reflect on contemporary feminine experiences through a compilation of writings by other authors. Their main point is that the feminine-masculine duality is a construction of cultural ideas learned from contemporary media. Outline of the Argument Atwood’s (1990) argument is summarized below.   * In the introductory paragraph, she describes how her body appears and feels   * She then depicts the accessories and color-coded parts of the female body   * She likens a woman’s body to a toy featuring prominent plastic breasts and narrow waistlines with optional reproductive parts   * She lists the functions of the female body from the men’s eyes – from opening doors to selling cars   * Men perceive women as the missing half required for wholeness Shaw and Lee’s (2011) argument is highlighted below.   * Masculinity or femininity shows how gender is inscribed on a body   * This binary is normalized through how we dress, walk, and talk   * While femininity is associated with the “body, earth, and nature,” masculinity is linked to the spirit and sky (Grossman, 2011, p. 183)   * Male infatuation with breasts and wearing bras portray women as sexual objects   * Men would want to give “power justifications” if they could menstruate (Shaw & Lee, 2011, p. 209)   * Racial differences in body consciousness result from media portrayals   * Women strive to be sexually attractive to men and attain a ‘beauty appeal.’   * The female body dictates that one has to use the girl’s bathroom   * Fashion is associated with femininity Personal Reflection/Understanding of the Material A fundamental point gleaned from the material is that we perceive human bodies as either male or female. This binary has become the norm with the media defining appropriate masculine or feminine dress and appearance. I agree with these sentiments as the color of clothes worn by boys or girls often has a gender-dress association. I have also understood that beauty norms are a reflection of masculine power. Sexual appeal determines a woman’s acceptability by men. As such, she has to modify her body to match the male-defined ideals. To be desirable, females have to dress or act as males expect, hence, they become more like sex objects. Reactions, Opinions, and Thoughts Women are under pressure from beauty and sexual norms inscribed on feminine bodies. Atwood (1990) writes that, according to men, an ideal female is slender and large-breasted. Personally, I am yet to meet a woman with this figure. Only dolls can match that description. In my opinion, fashion and beauty are meant to depict women as subordinate to men. They are objects of male enjoyment. As such, they rarely dress or behave as
The institution of marriage has changed dramatically within the first two decades of the 21st century due to the gradual acceptance of gay marriage. Changes in family laws have been experienced to accommodate the new concept of same-sex couples. Still, there are efforts by the conservatives to have gay marriage repealed. Ideally, gay marriage should not be abolished as society has evolved to embrace equal rights and disregard old-fashioned ignorance. Notably, society has drastically changed with the current generation of millennials being opened-minded. Same-sex marriage is no longer viewed on moral or religious grounds but is perceived as an individual right and choice. With the increasing support for equal rights, most people believe that a person is free to choose what makes them happy. Hence, repealing gay marriage is considered a violation of people’s rights. The young generation which most of them support gay marriage sees the societal shift as an inevitable change that everyone should accept (Dimock et al., 2013). Even some senior adults are changing their minds. Additionally, gay marriage should not be repealed as that is holding on to archaic ignorance. For the longest time, the perception of same-sex marriage was connected to evil or moral wrongness. Partially, the idea persisted due to the unavailability of data to back it up. Nowadays, the prevalence of gay marriage has increased tremendously. For instance, Joe Biden recently nominated Pete Buttigieg, an openly gay person, as US Secretary of Transportation. The belief that allowing gay marriage would undermine the American long-held societal values have changed. Before, it was inconceivable for a politician to claim to be lesbian or gay openly. Nowadays, almost everyone knows someone who is gay (Dimock et al., 2013). Overall, same-sex marriage should not be outlawed since contemporary society accepts it as an individual right.

Introduction The people residing in the United States are protected by the Constitution, and their privacy and the right to not experience an invasion of their property are also an element of this legislation. However, there are several exceptions and cases when the state’s well-being and safety allow the government agents to invade the privacy of individuals, for example, to perform searches and seizures. These cases are the exceptions, although there has been a debate and several Supreme Court cases that are related to this Amendment and the rights of specific groups of people under it. Although the Fourth Amendment guarantees the privacy rights of students, the practical examples and court cases suggest that in some instances, college administration can perform searches with a mere language announcement of such actions and without having to obtain a warrant. This paper will analyze the applicability of the Fourth Amendment to the searches and seizures performed by colleges and whether this legislation protects the privacy of the students who live on campus. Fourth Amendment and Student Rights Firstly, it is necessary to define the Fourth Amendment and discuss the purpose and outcome of this legislation is. According to the United States Courts (2021), “The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government” (para. 1). However, this legislation does not apply to all cases and has several exceptions, which allow government officials to perform searches. This Amendment defines the types of searches and their purpose that are deemed as reasonable and can be justified under the laws of the United States. Therefore, the basic principle of this Amendment is that the citizens of the United States should not be searched, and their property cannot be seized unless the case is a threat to the safety of the country and the public. Secondly, one should understand the balance between the outcome of the search and the violation of the person’s rights. Morris (1969) states that this Amendment allows the searches and seizures in cases that are of public safety importance. Lemons (2012) argues that students perceive their dormitory rooms as private places, and there is a reasonable expectation that their privacy rights will not be violated in these places. These dormitories become the homes of the students during their studies, which from the viewpoint of the student-institution relationship should mean that the latter must respect the privacy and rights of the former. However, dormitories also house a large number of students, and the universities are responsible for their safety, which creates a space for interpreting the Fourth Amendment in a way that allows for searches on campus. Another factor that predetermines the possibility of a search and seizure is the location where these actions take place. For example, schools have to have a warrant before performing a search of the individual’s property (United States Courts, 2021). One case that demonstrates this approach is the Trustees of the Dartmouth College V. Woo
