Introduction Six Sigma has been known as the main quality-control program that manufacturing businesses use for preserving the high standards of their products. On the one hand, the program is extremely beneficial for its orientation to customers and meeting their expectations (Pavel & Sarbu, 2014). On the other hand, some companies may find following the program too strict and impractical in specific situations. Thus, it is the disadvantages that should be considered in order to understand the full extent of Six Sigma use. Main body The first disadvantage is associated with the system contributing to bureaucracy and rigidity because of its application to all components of planning and production. It stifles the creativity of workers because all they should think about is customer expectations and preferences (DeMerceau, 2018). Many measures of quality control that may align with the expectations of a company may not be considered because of the overarching objective of achieving a high level of customer satisfaction. In the context of pharmaceutical businesses, a choice of inexpensive, simple packaging may be rejected in favor of expensive to attract customers. Conclusion For small businesses, Six Sigma is extremely costly to implement, and companies that are only starting up may find it challenging to comply with the high standards that may do nothing for their profitability (“What is six sigma & how can it help my business?,” 2018). In the sphere of pharmaceuticals, expectations are particularly high because of strict competition and the monopoly-like prevalence of giants such as Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson. Implementing Six Sigma in these organizations is easier because they possess enough financial and talent resources to adapt their processes to the needs and requirements of customers. Overall, Six Sigma is a widely popular quality control system but is significantly limiting to companies that do not have enough experience.
Trespass to Chattels Issue . Arthur and Carl will be charged with chattel trespass on the account of their illegal encroachment into the yacht, which was in the possession of another person. Rule . Their crime has been identified based on the U.S. Tort Law: “dispossesses the other of the chattel, or (b) the chattel is impaired as to its condition, quality, or value” (U.S. Tort Law, 1993, § 218). Analysis . Since the process of intrusion was carried out without the knowledge of the owner of the yacht and was not mandated in any way, it fits the existing definition of trespassing (U.S. Tort Law, 1993). Seeing that one of the burglars damaged the property of the owner, i.e., the mirror that was broken by the burglars, the crime in question can be identified as a trespass to chattels (U.S. Tort Law, 1993). Conclusion . Therefore, both Arthur and Carl are legally responsible for trespassing to chattels. 1 Burglary Issue . After locating the yacht that they considered to contain a range of valuable objects, Arthur, Ben and Carl planned a break-in with the following fraudulent conversion. Rule . The U.S. Common Law defines burglary as the entry into an establishment “with intent to commit larceny” (California Penal Code 1872, § 495.5). Analysis . Although the definition provided by the California Penal Code applies to the property that is in possession of legal persons and not natural persons, it has been proven that the criminals entered the yacht intending to commit larceny. Therefore, their actions qualify as burglary. Conclusion . According to the case description, Arthur and Carl managed to steal the goods as planned; therefore, they will be accused of burglary. Property Damage Issue . On their escape from the yacht, Arthur and Carl break a mirror, which can be considered an instance of property damage. Rule . The U.S. Common Law states that the people, who are in a temporarily possession of a certain property, are legally eligible for the state of the property in question (U.S. Tort Law, 1993, § 218). Analysis . The reasons for listing the aforementioned event concern the fact that the damage was done to the owner of the mirror and that the specified damage should be refunded. Conclusion . Arthur and Carl are legally responsible for property damage and must pay the price of the mirror to the owner. 1 st Degree Murder Issue . As soon as the burglars run into the watchman, who starts investigating the strange noise coming from the yacht, they start a fight and Carl shoots the watchman accidentally. Rule . The U.S. law defines the homicide of a person, which did not occur as a result of self-defense and was “pe
When people think of improving health and wellness, they often think about new medicine and cure that researchers are yet to discover. Notably, the government funds the majority of this research. This results in massive amounts of money being put towards attempting to improve health care across the lifespan. However, what some people do not realize is that sometimes the small changes have the biggest impact on their lives. As a result, the introduction and examination of the fundamental principle that guides the overall growth and development of one’s health across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood remain an essential parameter in understanding health care across the lifespan. Markedly, it is crucial to understand the methodology, concepts, objectives, and issues necessary for comprehending and evaluating empirically-based information about growth and development at different stages of life (Health across the Life Span: Frameworks, Contexts, and Measurements, 2011). Further, one should study and comprehend some of the factors that affect human growth and development; for instance, by measuring people’s health at the community level. The impacts of these factors on the health of individuals should also be of great concern to a health practitioner, as he/she can assess the implications on the health disparities I believe that the best way to improve health care is not only just by new research but also by one simple thing called happiness. Remarkably, studies have shown that happier people live significantly longer than those who are not, and happiness comes with the type of lifestyle that one chooses. Happy people are not often stressed and neither depressed, therefore, they are less likely to smoke, drink, and eat too heavily and happiness seems to make people more resistant to both stroke and heart attack. These two health effects are common factors in American deaths. Health care providers seeking to prevent, diagnose and treat these diseases aim at improving the physical and mental wellbeing of everyone across the life span. Their goal is that people stay healthy and recover from illnesses, and live without chronic diseases or disabilities thereby reducing death cases. A new psychological study shows that people who are regularly surrounded by their families and friends are the happiest; therefore, good health habits start at a young age. By finding a way to make children happy, the nation becomes healt
Mission and vision statements are important elements of any business organization. In this paper, the author is going to analyze three elements of Custom Coffee and Chocolate Coffee Shop. The mission statement and possible tactical plan for this entity will be assessed. Also, the author will conduct a SWOT analysis on the firm. Mission Statement According to Bartkus, Glassman, and McAfee (2000, p. 25), a mission statement describes the objectives of a given business organization. The statement highlights the functions of the company and the marketing strategies adopted. Custom Coffee and Chocolate Shop has a wide-ranging mission statement that caters to the needs of the customers, the suppliers, and other stakeholders. The possible mission statement of this organization is Providing High-Quality Services to Customers and Suppliers. Commercial statements have three major components. The three are the key market, contribution, and distinction. The key market includes the target consumers, while contribution involves the products provided to the client. The distinction is based on the uniqueness of the product in the market. The mission statement of Custom Coffee and Chocolate highlights the services offered to the people within the community (Bartkus & Glassman, 2008, p. 209). The menu of the shop encompasses the provision of entertainment, social amenities, and other cultural events. The client is provided with the opportunity to explore the world through the various coffee and chocolate flavors offered (Pakneiat, Panahi & Noori, 2010, p. 255). Such events as entertainment make it possible for the customers to interact with the sounds and words of other cultures. Business management scholars agree that when all the stakeholders pursue the same mission, the success of the organization is enhanced (Jackson, Aparna & Erhardt, 2003, p. 818). SWOT Analysis According to Pakneiat et al. (2010, p. 256), the strategy is used to evaluate a given business organization in terms of its strengths and weaknesses. It also examines the opportunities and threats associated with the entity (Williams, 2008, p. 100). According to Pickton and Wright (1998, p. 105), the strengths of the company are the characteristics that give it an upper hand in the market. In the case of Custom Coffee and Chocolate, it is noted that the two entrepreneurs are the only providers of coffee and chocolate beverages in the university. They know the customer base, the need for unique products, and the existence of high traffic locations in the campus market. Weaknesses entail the internal characteristics that expose the business to competitors in the market (Lang, 2009, p. 242). Custom Coffee and Chocolate lacks su
Rationality has been studied and defined by both philosophers and sociologists over a long period of time now. Philosophers use reason and rationality as their major methods when it comes to the analysis of data collected from well defined observation methods (Sica, 2004, 2). In sociology and related disciplines, rationality of a given situation or decision depends mainly on whether it is optimal in nature or not. On the other hand, persons or organisations are said to be rational if their actions are optimal as far as achievement of objectives is concerned. An optimal action refers to the pursuance of the most desired outcomes within limits that have either been expressed or implied. Sociological rationalisation refers to the process of series of actions and engagements by human beings with an aim of achieving a purposive and well calculated ends which does not rely on emotions, moral considerations, or traditions (Farganis, 2008, 35). Rationalisation is considered as a key characteristic of the modernisation process. In the need for social services, one can talk of rational allocation of available resources. When it comes to organisational operations, proposed corporate strategies can be said to be optimally rational. Many sociological researchers have tried to investigate the concept of rationality in order to understand it fully. They have defined rationality as the process and success in the pursuit of a given objective regardless of the nature of the objectives (Pampel, 2007, 24). This implies that any act of rationality is not screened in terms of its ethicality, morality, or other forms of criticisms. For philosophers, a high quality rationale ought to be free from the influence of emotions, personal preferences, and any other feelings that may create bias. Many rationality theories have been advanced by researchers to explain this concept. The essay seeks to critically analyse Weber’s idea of rationality and the conclusions that he drew about the effects of rationalisation on modern life. Max Weber was a renowned German classical sociologist who lived between 1864 and 1920. Weber, as a sociologist, was more concerned with the interpretation of the different actions in the social settings. He defined sociology as a science which seeks to understand and interpret human behavior with an aim of being able to explain the causes of given behaviour/action, the course which they would take, and the impacts of the behaviours/actions (Sica, 2004, 5). His theory provides a subjective description of factors that are thought to influence the various social actions which in turn define a given society. In his theory, Weber distinguishes between action and behaviour. He notes that action occurs as a result of deliberate and conscious process where people try to attach meaning to their actions as well as understanding their environment. Behaviour
Introduction The triarchic theory of intelligence was put together by Robert Sternberg, an outstanding expert in the field of human intellect. Sternberg’s hypothesis was by itself a landmark because it was amongst the earliest not to be in favor of the psychometric approach to intelligence. In place of the psychometric approach, it took a cognitive line. Sternberg’s classification of human intelligence is dependent on the way in which a person contends with environmental adjustments in the course of their existence. The theory is composed of three sections; componential, experiential, and practical. Various elements of information processing Sternberg connected the operations of the human brain with a string of elements. The elements include meta-components, performance components and information-acquisition components. Meta-components refer to decision-making practices applied in problem unraveling and the coming up with resolutions that entail the greater part of handling one’s mind. They inform the brain the way something should be done. Performance components are the procedures that essentially perform the deeds that the meta-components direct. They are thus the fundamental procedures that let an individual perform things such as distinguishing problems in one’s lasting memory, looking at associations involving objects, and applying associations to a further array of terms. The very last of elements, information-acquisition elements, are utilized in acquiring new information. The components accomplish undertakings th
Introduction Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a serious endocrine system disorder that affects the normal functioning of ovaries in women who have attained the age of childbearing (Balen, Conway, Homburg, & Legro 2005). According to statistics released by the World Health Organization (WHO), this disorder has been reported in more than 5 million women in the United States alone. Globally, it affects between 5 and 10% of women who have attained the childbearing age. The disorder can have adverse effects on a woman’s menstrual cycle, hormones, blood vessels, heart, appearance, and ability to bear children (Homburg 2001). It is characterized by high levels of androgens, missed or irregular periods, and the presence of numerous small cysts in the ovaries. The cause of the disorder is unknown although scientists attribute it to factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalance, and heredity. Major symptoms include acne, anxiety or depression, irregular periods, infertility, cysts on the ovaries, pelvic pain, male-pattern baldness, hirsutism, skin tags, and sleep apnea (Homburg 2001). Research has established that these symptoms can show as early as during late teenage for some women. In addition, PCOS increases the vulnerability of women to chronic health conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol levels (Radosh 2009). Treatments for PCOS include lifestyle modification, birth control pills, diabetes medications, fertility medications, surgery, and drugs for increased hair growth (Balen et al. 2005). This paper will discuss the pharmacological management of PCOS and outline its treatment guidelines. Pharmacological management of PCOS The pharmacological management of PCOS involves the use of drugs that target specific manifestations and individualized patient goals. In that regard, doctors usually prescribe medications that regulate the menstrual cycle, enhance ovulation, reduce excessive hair growth, and clear certain symptoms (Balen et al. 2005). Different medications are used to treat manifestations such as hirsutism, infertility, insulin resistance, and menstrual irregularities. Few agents have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of PCOS. The choice of drug to use is primarily determined by comorbidities and the patient’s desire for pregnancy (Homburg 2001). Insulin-sensitizing agents are usually prescribed because they successfully control or manage menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, anovulation, insulin resistance, and obesity (Radosh 2009). Treatment should be individualized and address the specific manifestations of PCOS present in the patient. Drugs for various PCOS manifestations As mentioned earlier, successful management of PCOS involves the prescription of specific agents to clear various manifestations of the disease such as hirsutism, obesity, insulin resistance, and infertility (Radosh 2
Need to conduct analysis of The Lesson by Toni Cade Bambara? This essay focuses on the story’s significance, symbolism, characters, setting, and themes. The Lesson short story analysis and summary are also provided. Introduction A short story is a specific type of literary writing which reveals the author’s message within a few pages. Thus, the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara raises the issue of unfairness in society and the way children learn about it. The title reveals the main idea of the story, i.e., the lesson about injustice. The purpose of the story is to depict how children can be taught to understand something more than mere mathematics, how they can see some essential social phenomena. The story also shows how children perceive quite serious, so to speak, difficult experiences. The Lesson by Toni Cade Bambara Summary “The Lesson” depicts a scene from a schoolgirl’s life, the girl and her classmates are taken to an expensive toy shop by their teacher who wants to show children the social injustice ruling in their country. So, schoolchildren see that some people can afford to buy toys which cost more than these children spend on food for a year. Thus, the purpose of the lesson reaches its aim. The Lesson Literary Analysis To reveal the main ideas Bambara exploits very effective technique: narration. Such a composition pattern makes the story more evocative since it sounds more personal. The author uses the first person to depict the necessary events. The story is presented from the standpoint of the child: “Back in the days when … me and Sugar were the only ones just right” (Bambara 85). The story reveals the ideas that occur in this child’s head: “I’m really hating,” “I’m stalling to figure out” (Bambara 88-89). The story is full of Sylvia’s, i.e., narrator’s, assessments: “boring-ass things” (i.e. things told by teacher), “goddamn college degree” (i.e. attitude towards higher education), “poor kid” (i.e. attitude towards a classmate), “magnificent thing” (evaluation of a toy). Of course, it is necessary to point out that the style of the story is quite colloquial. Moreover, there is a lot of slang: “bloody,” “goddamn,” “jerk,” “bitch,” “ass,” “draggy.” Such style is not used by chance. It serves to address the audience of the story, i.e., young people who could read it and come to the necessary conclusions. Such kind of style makes “The Lesson” more emotional and evocative. Young people reading the story can feel that these ideas depicted belong to themselves or their peers, friends. Sylvia’s (the narrator’s) thoughts occur in every child or teenager’s mind, for instance, it is a norm to dislike a teacher, so the narrator notes that they “kinda hated” their teacher (Bambara 85). Again, Bambara writes in the language school children (of suburbs) speak: “outta,” “Whatcha gonna do,” “Givin me one of them grins,” “ain’t nobody gonna beat me at nuthin’”. Of course, this kind of narration will be closer to the young reader. Admitted
Introduction While thinking about the possible topics for this assignment, I happened to find a number of comical cartoon strips that caught my attention. I chose to evaluate a piece by M. Wuerker that touches on the issues of print media and traditional news outlets in the modern age. The trend displayed by the author is relevant to our current society with the ever-rising popularity of the internet and social media. This piece seems important to me, as it highlights the present risk of losing physical media sources. Main body In this essay, I will try to show how this image effectively utilizes text, shape, and color to convey and promote its messages. The number of problems raised and discussed by the public each day is immeasurable, so to reach the vastest possible audience the message must be short, memorable, and well-presented. The image in question is successful at making the reader question their behavior, as well as in raising awareness of the decay of journalism. The first criterion for evaluating this image is its relevancy. The messages of this piece become more apparent as technology advances, with each passing year. In the modern day, the use of smartphones and computers has seen a significant rise, especially in big, developed cities. With the increase in popularity came the invention of news websites and social media, which have quickly garnered mainstream success and popularity. While it takes a large amount of effort and money to write, review, and print a real newspaper, the same cannot be said about the digital one, as it does not require paper or ink. With the quick availability of many online news sites and their cheaper production cost, the online media outlets rapidly start to replace the traditional ones, posing a real threat to the news industry. My second criterion deals with the clarity and effectiveness of the message. This comic places the blame for the decline of print press on the viewers who are too ignorant and absorbed into their phones to notice their involvement with the issue. The piece demonstrates that by depicting people as deformed caricatures, with giant phone screens in their hands, bringing the viewers’ attention to the core component of the image. The image is also strongly supported by text, which in the form of i
