Introduction Infertility is expressed as the failure to conceive or contribute to conception after having unprotected sexual intercourse for a period not exceeding twelve months. In most cases, infertility is linked to women as compared to their male counterparts. Thus the ability to bear children is very important to a woman and the society at large. Therefore, women are the most affected by this condition (Drosdzol & Skrzypulec, 2008). When a woman realizes that she can not bear children she is affected psychologically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. These negative impacts imply that further nursing research should be geared towards inventing reliable strategies and promoting coping strategies. The nursing practice should be concerned with ensuring good code of ethics when caring for infertile women (Boivin et al., 2007). In this light, this paper will illustrate the negative impacts of infertility on women’s quality of life with respect to physical, social, psychological and mental well being and furthermore, it will discuss about strategies to support such women to cope with these negative impacts. Physical Effects The society considers children to be a blessing and making babies is the main reason of getting into a marriage union. Gonzalez (2000) argues that the major role of a woman in marriage is to bear children, hence depending on her immediate society beliefs she may face rejection from her husband’s parents, relatives, and friends. Women are highly concerned with their physical health with regards to child bearing hence infertility can deprive a woman of her happiness. This is because when a woman is getting married she normally longs for the day that she will hold a baby in her arms. According to Gonzalez (2000) most couples try to make babies immediately they are married so when the babies do not come as expected, the society starts pointing accusing fingers towards the woman because most people do not believe a man can be infertile. Sometimes the lady could be fine while the husband may be the problem but since society perceives that men are superior to women, no one dares to confront the man and instead the blame rests on the woman. In such cases a woman sees herself as having physical health problems. When the couple finally decides to get medical attention and the examinations reveal that actually the woman cannot bear children she gets shocked by such news. As a result, they choose to undergo many different treatment procedures. Shu-Hsin Lee (2003) argues that many women who experience infertility will undergo a variety of treatments which sometimes may put their lives at risk. Depending on the frequency of the unsuccessful medical procedures she has gone through a woman may become more stressed. This stress could result in other dangerous medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure which are induced by high stress levels. These disorders may furt

Since the immigration has always been a matter of concern within the legislators, the main topic that is going to be touched upon in this paper is immigration’s pros and cons. The two vitally important issues this paper will be devoted to are why the immigrants choose the US as their ultimate home, and what the emigrants actually face when coming legally to the US. So, in order to make it clear, the essay will touch upon ethical advantages and disadvantages of immigration for the countries of origin and for the US. The first ethical concept should sound like ‘the US is an ultimate opportunity for those seeking an advanced life level’. America is truly full of legal and illegal immigrants constantly attracting those as an implementation of the American dream. Taken closely, immigrants are people looking for a better standard of life, tired of unemployment and autocracy. As a result they settle in America, though sometimes illegally, in order to have at least a ‘low skilled job’ and real estate for bringing up children in the better society and better state system. Therefore, helping employers use those foreign human resources and help economy grow. The positive side of legal immigration is having completely law-abiding citizens come to the country. When adhering to the laws of the US legal migrants accept the democratically powered society; which also serves a wonderful lesson of Americans’ power to the rest of the world. Foreigners assimilate into the society well. Moreover, they bring their own cultural experience into Americans’ one; which is by all means very beneficial for both sides. Americans are now used to accept multiple religions within a country and foreign communities due to legal migration. The bad thing about legal immigration is being somewhat unequal in rights in comparison to native citizens. Therefore, the entire world’s economic inequality rises up since this is a prior reason for the inequality of the nations all over the world. Ethically would be spending a huge amount of money to leveling the global economy or opening the borders to immigrants. However, so far the immigrants cannot acquire some rights citizens do, like voting. So, being an immigrant in a socially and economically developed country does not necessarily mean being absolutely equal and happy. The second disadvantage in terms of ethics would be the brain drain. Every year the developing countries lose the highly skilled workers once those immigrate to the US, for the immigration is an attractive solution for the college graduates and skilled personnel. Hence, immigration affects the social and economical politics of countries of origin: immigrants pay sales taxes, for example, not to their native country and, besides, Americanization is a great ethical loss for their home countries. However, this also spurs the economy’s growth in the developing countries. Overall, the country cannot function well without sufficient manpower. Retaining the most valuable assets would be the best thing to do for the develop

Introduction The economy of the world is facing many serious problems, which have affected both developed countries and developing countries. One of the most serious problems is counterfeit and piracy. Generally counterfeit goods are defined as products with the same characteristics as original one. Many authors have their definition of counterfeit. Burnett (2007) states that “Dealing commercially in fake goods by using similar or identical trade marks to those of the genuine products is illegal, even without a registered trade mark….” Bosworth (2002) defines counterfeit that to simulate the shape of product of another to trick a consumer, or to use trade mark or brand name. It can also copy packaging and many other important characteristic of the origin product. This paper will discuss some problems caused by counterfeit and pirated goods. Not only will the problems be discussed but also the paper will suggest some possible solutions. This will be followed by evaluating if counterfeits goods are because of high prices of brand name. Most Important of all, economic losses are one of consequences of counterfeit goods. As Bosworth (2006) has indicated, the producer of the branded goods may lose profit, especially, when consumer buys a fake product rather than their product. Additionally, they may lose future revenues because consumers will buy competitor goods, if they experience a lower quality in their goods. Also, Tungate (2005, 205, 206) reports that the amount of counterfeit goods is 500 billion all over the world a year according to the international Chamber of commerce, most of this trade is made in China. China is considered a fundamental resource of counterfeit goods and fake products globally. To quote from (Loke-khoon in Tungate 2005, 206), “China is the biggest factory of fakes in the world”… usually, when factories finish producing guanine goods at the end of day, counterfeiters imitate the same product just within hours. The fact of the matter is that, counterfeit and piracy of intellectual property is an international crime. There is a link between organized crime and a hug
Critical evaluation of roles of an International HR Manager (IHRM) to help identify possible HR issues, which have led to this crisis International HR (IHR) management aspects have numerous roles influencing operations of any given multinational corporation (MNC). Similarly, it can affect the financial performance of any given country; however, this varies from one state to the next. Contextually, it is possible to unveil the HR issues that led to the crisis (evident in the case provided) upon critical evaluation of IHR Managers’ roles. Financial meltdown, recessions, and inflations are some of the crisis evident in the case. IHR manager’s roles in any MNC might eventually affect the prosperity and financial aspects of the concerned organization and the country of operation. There are HR issues that have led to the noticed economic meltdown (Davies 2010). Firstly, IHR managers should ascertain the nature of international operations that the business intends to assume. This means that IHR manager must recognize the international labour demands, focus on the available human capital, create more employment opportunities, and provide lucrative working conditions to increase the productivity of the workforce, reduce unemployment cases, and help in averting the localized and globalized economic hitches witnessed in the case provided. This forms the roles of IHR helpful in identifying the possible HR issues evident in the case provided. HR has the role of sourcing viable employees who can propel the operations and growth of the concerned companies in order to realize remarkable economic results. It is from this context that an IHR can contribute massively to an economic crisis or flourish. It is evident that the aspects of international labour market similarly contribute to the ultimate global production and financial stability. Failure to manage such international human capital properly has a devastating impact on the national and international economic downturn. In this context, it is the mandate of IHR manager to ensure that he or she sources cheap and competent labour that will help in propelling the productivity of the concerned MNCs (Forrest 2011). For example, the mentioned internationalized banking corporations like Bank of England, European Central Bank, and Halifax Bank of Scotland among others (MNCs) can utilize their IHR provisions in order to avert the witnessed economic meltdown (Ferrell & Fraedrich 2012). From this context, it is agreeable that IHR has critical roles in managing the global labour market and operation of internationalized businesses hence contributing significantly to the economic prosperity or plunge as noticed in the provided case. Evidently, IHR manager of any MNC is expected to establish policies and practices that govern the availab
Recently a heated debate about the ban of assault weapons has been going on, which made everyone re-evaluate the need for assault weapons in the households. All assault weapons in possession of a civilian cause great danger to the life of the community. Each person carrying a gun must be professionally trained on how to operate it; otherwise, people around are exposed to danger. In the hands of an inexperienced or uneducated person, assault weapons may result in fatal incidents, which endangers the whole community. There are many examples of misconduct with assault guns that cause trauma or even death, and mass shootings are one of the most severe and dreadful examples. Only professionals must be allowed to carry deadly weapons regardless if they are semi-automatic or fully-automatic; in both cases, a gun is still a gun that exposes the surrounding to serious jeopardy. Many civilians are scared to be around people who carry guns in public places because it makes them feel unsafe due to the fact that one can never know what accident can happen in a moment. Assault weapons become a deadly instrument in the hands of a wrong person and can harm innocent people with no prior intentions of doing it, which is one justified reason why assault weapons must be banned. Every civilians must rely on the full protection of the police. Police forces’ main goal is to protect the community by any means and keep people safe no matter what. Every citizen should realize that by keeping a dangerous assault weapon at home they put their friends, neighbours; moreover the whole community at risk. When in meantime hundreds of officers tirelessly work and put their life on the line for the purpose of keeping the neighborhood safe by all means. People must feel protected staying in th
What are the implications for the banks as a result of this new regulation? There are numerous implications fronted by Basel III since its establishment, ratification, and embracement in the financial sectors. This is a critical provision when considered comprehensively in regard to financial control. As stipulated by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), Basel III intends to solidify worldwide capital as well as liquidity regulations in the financial realms. This is a critical implication of Basel III in the context of global financial regulations. It is important to understand these provisions in respect to financial insinuations. Additionally, Basel III intends to streamline the banking sector so as to attain the resiliency and conformity required (Gregoriou 2009, p. 50). This is a critical necessity especially in the international context. Following the internationalization of various financial factors, transaction provisions, and exchange rates, it is important to agree that Basel III will enhance financial provisions of the banking sector as indicated earlier. The proposed changes (as preferred by Basel III) in the financial sector will ensure coherency, efficiency, and other fiscal provisions as supported earlier. This is a vital implication fronted by Basel III upon its full implementation. Additionally, Basel III will imply that all financial institutions must establish, ratify, and embrace some sense of dynamism, autonomy, and complexity so as to comply with the international financial provisions and regulations. This is intended to enhance global financial regulatory landscape despite the looming challenges. Another implication of Basel III (based on its stringent regulations) is that weaker and poorly established banks and other financial institutions will find it hard to survive in the industry (Eubanks 2011, p. 32). This will be caused by the stringent regulatory scrutiny imposed by the Basel III. Similarly, it will be difficult for such organizations to raise the required capital or access the required funding in order to establish and run emerging financial institutions/banks. Concurrently, Basel III will have a considerable implication on the profitability and ROE of numerous financial institutions. This is a remarkable implication emerging from hiked capital requirements, tough regulatory reforms, and increased costs of funding. It is crucial to reflect on such provisions when considering viable business models and other financial implications in regard to Basel III. Basel III will exert extreme pressures on margins as well as operating capacity of various financial institutions globally (Wittenbrink 2011, p. 45). Additionally, inves
Democratic style of leadership is the most preferred form of leadership and therefore it is widely adopted because it provides for change of leaders and for this reason, people have the opportunity to choose the leaders they deserve. Elections provide the people with the opportunity to choose their leaders and therefore the system is crucial in most political systems around the world (Blaugh & Schwarzmantel, 2001). Application of election process is not only in democratic style of leadership but the process will also find application in authoritarian form of leadership, where the rulers use it to prove their legitimacy to the people. Due to the differences in the society and the people, there are various electoral systems. The choice of the electoral system applied in a country depends on several factors such as the leaders and the wish of the people and therefore electoral system provides the people with the system for voting and conducting elections and the single member plurality is one of the electoral systems. This system has been in use in Canada, US and also in Britain, India and in most of other common wealth countries. The systems aims at creating a majority that will support the wining party in parliament while undermining minor parties. The second Ballot Majority-Runoff system is the second electoral system that is widely adopted where the countries that apply the system are Finland, Russia, Columbia and Austria. In this system, if the candidates who stand for election get less than 50 percent of the total votes in the first round of election then the second round of election is held between the candidates with the majority of the vote where the candidate who wins in this round of election is therefore the winner of the election. The alternative vote is also another kind of electoral system, where the candidate who gathers majority of the votes wins the election. This system of election is in use in Ireland and Australian house of representative where in the effect that none of the candidate gathers more than 50 percent of the total votes, the leading candidates are considered and the votes of the lower ranking candidates are distributed to the leading candidates. This process will continue until one of the candidates secures the majority of the votes. The main aim of conducting elections is to demonstrate the rule of democracy which is about political equality among all people (Saward 1998, p. 20). In the modern world, none of the leadership would like to be associated with undemocratic rule and although the ruling elite will sometimes prefer authoritarian style of leadership, the system is not sustainable. For the purpose of sustainability and acceptance by the people democratic rule becomes the only way out though in most cases the ruling elite only masquerade as democratic while in reality they are not. Elections are a good way to demonstrate democracy and therefore the electoral system matters a lot (Dahl, 1998). The system that fully demo
