Introduction Syd Jackson (1939 to 2007) was an outstanding Maori militant, trade unionist, and leader; many have referred to him as a true warrior of Maori politics. Mr Jackson rose to the limelight in the 1970s as a youthful, fiery, and eloquent leader of Nga Tomato, and he lived his entire life fighting for the equity of Maori people. As a secretary of the Northern Clerical Workers, Jackson was influential in the transformation of the majorly women’s grouping into a revolutionary group. His fights were mainly focused on Treaty rights and equal rights for the Maori people; this led him to go to the heights of visiting Libya that was then considered an international pariah making him be accused of treason by some politicians (Kukutai, 2003). However, despite the hardships encountered, Syd Jackson maintained his revolutionary nature to fight for the rights of the Maori people. Conventionally, the strength and the impetus of Maori political activism have been erratic; upturns in protests have been followed by downturns in the struggle. The 1970s were characterized by the dramatic expansion of Maori activism which had a significant impact on the citizens of New Zealand. The political volatility resulted in the awakening of the 1975 land demonstration on congress, Raglan, Bastion Point and other habitual demonstrations that occurred at Waitangi. These protests were critical in revealing the abusive and tyrannical foundations of capitalism that had taken root in Aotearoa. The international collapse of the working-class movement and the ascent of the New Right together with the degenerative logic of identity politics had ensnared a majority of the Maori people from engaging in political activities throughout the 1980s. Conventionally, Maori political activism has been an overly diverse social force that entailed a substantial assortment of political strategies, campaigns, and contestants (Jahnke, 2003). Both the radical and the conservative Maori nationalists pursued similar objectives; however, they employed differing tactics (Walker, 1990). This was strongly acknowledged with Maori Capitalism, the electoral authority, revolutionary associations, and cultural chauvinism. Despite the reliance on constitutional change and electoral politics to restructure the excesses of the Maori system, arguments have been raised that suggest that the welfare system held the Maori people back and that the liberation of the Maori people could only be achieved through unrestricted and free-market capitalism (Kukutai, 2003). Roles and Achievements The crumbling of the post-war economic explosion led to the international renaissance of the class conflict and industrial conflict that rose with an unparalleled scale between the years 1968 and 1970s (Jahnke, 2003). The surfacing of the class resistance in the late 1960s was linked to the mounting of the New Left at the global plane. The growth of the scholarly political activism that was headed by Syd Jackson, the antiviolence demonstrations in the West, and the mounting of the resistance in opposition to the United States imperialism were amon
Introduction Wars are ugly and at times are inevitable. Today the world is at war and everyone seems to have a common enemy and that is extremism and terrorism. It is the “war on terrorism”. It was the event of September 11 that changed the course of history. The fall of the twin towers saw the beginning of the two wars that have been prolonged to date. “ America is at war with a transitional terrorists movement fueled by radical ideology of hatred, oppression and murder”(N S C). The United States of America is at war with both Iraq and Afghanistan. Its main reason is to protect the lives and the livelihood of the American people and to provide security to its homeland. But here is where the question lies. Have these wars in actuality brought security for the American people? Is the average American safer and securer today then he was pre September 11? A clear answer is “no”. The Americans are in fact more insecure than ever before. In no way possible has the government of the United States has secured its homeland despite its stating that it has. America seems to be spending a great deal on both defense and war, so much so that only a sma
The Espresso/Coffee Drive -Through will be a dessert café which will be located in Woodley Park, Washington DC. The area records high human and vehicular traffic which makes it appropriate for customers who are interested in consuming espresso, coffee and dessert products from the comfort of their vehicles. This business idea is responsive to current trends because many urban consumers prefer fast foods to normal dining experiences due to time restrictions. The business will use tax incentives within this location to cut on costs and to differentiate itself in the market to help it attract large numbers of consumers. Value added features such as deliveries and internet booking of orders will also be adopted to make customers appreciate the quality of service offered. Startup costs are estimated to be 50,000 dollars and this will be obtained mainly from personal savings because the business is a sole proprietorship. The business will offer consumers both personalized and technological service solutions that are convenient to their consumption patterns. The point of sale will have both coffee and espresso dispensers for consumers interested in getting instant services. Additionally, consumers that prefer to consume the products within the premises will be served by service staff in the restaurant as they enjoy a warm ambience. Even though the restaurant mainly targets consumers who are on the move, its internal décor and sitting arrangements will be designed in a manner that increases customers’ comfort. The firm intends to use a strong consumer engagement strategy to develop products
The fundamentals of Michael P. Johnson’s work First of all, I would like to point out that Reading the American Past is considered to be one of the most important books about American history. Zoltan is of the opinion that “Reading the American Past Vol. 2 from 1865 can only enhance any readers understanding of American History and the reader provides a great match when paired with any U.S. history textbook” (par. 9). The author wants to draw the readers’ attention to the events, which took place during the Second World War and other important points of the US history. When reading Michael P. Johnson’s work, one can make a conclusion that this war is recognized to be the most cruel and destructive all over the world. The thesis statement America’s participation in the World War II causes many contradictions concerning the support the most powerful country provided the victims of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich with. Thus, one of the diverse questions is America’s relation to the Holocaust until 1942. Some interesting points In my opinion, the most important aspect, which is to be highlighted, is Jews’ mass annihilation. When I was reading the work written by Johnson, I’ve remembered terrible events I read about, – the events, which occurred in Auschwitz. “Of the victims, 1.3 million were Jews and 300,000 were Gypsies, Polish Catholics, and Russian prisoners of war” (“The Holocaust” par. 2). However, the most interesting fact I would like to point out is that the policy of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich was not only to eliminate Jews and other imperfect nations, but also to annihilate people with disabilities, homosexuals, tramps, etc. In his work, the author describes 1942. This makes me to remember one interesting point. Earlier years of Holocaust are omitted as America “adopted a policy of Isolationism, preventing their involvement in other country’s domestic and international conflicts” (“The United States Sits in Silence, Where Was the US During the Holocaust?” par. 1). However, one is to keep in mind that during the World War II America had great power. It was the most economically developed country. For this sense, the most essential question, which is still to be discussed, is the reason of America’s denial of horrible realities. There are numerous theories, which can be used to answer the question; however, I suppose that it was the so-called isolationist policy, Americans wanted to keep to. Other studies include Anti-Semitism approaches, and ignorance factors. Thus, Lauran Freeman is of the opinion that “While many Americans would not physically harm a Jew, they had negative internal feelings towards them. Throughout history, Jews have been continuously looked down upon, and have been used as scapegoats” (par. 2). So, in my opinion, such explanation is a
Introduction Cat’s Cradle is one of the most famous works of Kurt Vonnegut, the American author. The story is about the fantastic island which lives under its laws. The lie and misrepresentation of facts accompany the life of citizens. In Cat’s Cradle Vonnegut tries to show the usefulness and frustration of the existence if it is controlled and manipulated by a certain group of people who hide the truth from people. The essay is devoted to the topic of madness in the novel. In particular, the novel’s plot encompasses the different examples of madness including the fabricated religion, the lie, and madness of Bakonon and McCabe, madness in power, crazy invention, and the whole life in the island. Madness is the central theme in the novel uncovering its moral: the vainness of human activity if it is not for common good. The Topic of Madness in the Novel Fabricated Religion The fabricated religion represents one of the most obvious topics of madness in Vonnegut’s novel. The religion of Bokononism has been developed by Bokonon and McCabe for making life on the island more interesting. It becomes the beginning of the overall madness of people living in San-Lorenzo Island. It is not surprising as there is nothing from the truth in the religion. The dissemination of the fabricated story, as well as the statement about the death penalty of everyone confessing to Saint Bokonon, put people’s mentality and behavior under the control of illusions. Because it is the farfetched religion, it has not given real spiritual satisfaction which any religion should give to people. Moreover, true religions have been supporting people’s belief in eternal life for centuries. As regards the religion which has been disseminated on the island, it has factually become the beginning of the life end on the island. “Live by the harmless untruths that make you brave and kind, and healthy, and happy” (Vonnegut 1963). The most important lesson which can be learned is that the belief in God is a good thing, but the belief in all of what the other people say can be harmful to your life. The Heartbreaking Necessity of Lying The lie of Johnson and McCabe is one of the examples of madness in the novel. Eventually, the good intentions of Johnson and McCabe led to the destruction of the country and the tragic death of its people. The lie which they created was the example of madness itself. The rumors turned people to believers in the sham religion. The mass lie about reality resulted in the outlook estranged from the facts. As regards Johnson and McCabe, they tried to play their roles so well that they, eventually, went mad with their fictitious story. In this context, the story is well described by the words from the novel: “the heartbreaking necessity of lying about reality and the heartbreaking impossibility of lying about it” (Vonnegut 1963). Probably, Kurt Vonnegut tries to make us see that the heartbreaking truth is better than the heartbreaking
The nature of disaster is rather complicated when it is connected with elements of nature. The United States of America became a pawn of natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. The inevitable and unpredictable essence of theses phenomena leave many questions for the researchers and meteorologists. The more nature shows its “wrath”, the more it intends people to investigate the means by which it does so. Nowadays and before many scholars and researchers get information about how to analyze hurricanes only by means of direct examples. Though, the reasons are not identified as well as the forecasting schedule of hurricanes from their primordial impulses till the very beginning of a whirlwind creation. Traditionally the US researchers gave names to different hurricanes in order to designate their individual structure and hazards as well as the anatomy of it. While analyzing any hurricane one should bare in mind that everything in the nature presupposes order. Thus, a hurricane is divided into 4 constituent parts in its anatomy:  1. Outflow;  2. Feeder bands;  3. The eyewall;  4. The eye. (Hurricane facts 2009) Low pressure is a factor which makes water pull up and gives a way for the ominous “eye” to take over the territory within a part of ocean and shore. Here the weather mapping is an indicator which helps in designing further flow of air mass. The unstable and severe activity over the Atlantic Ocean is the major factor for hurricanes in the United States. Among meteorologists such types of hurricane evaluation are taken into account as: physical and statistical. (Hurricane facts 2009) Many scholar draw hypothetic schemes of probable weather development over the ocean, but when the situation is straightforwardly in process and the structure of a hurricane can be designated, then comes the turn of so-called “hurricane fighters” meaning researching aircrafts with scholars and a lot of equipment aboard. NOAA, P-3, and G-IV are the best-known aircrafts which are determined especially for analyzing hurricanes in storm and detecting their characteristic features from the inside. “The jet, which can fly high, fast and far with a range of 4,000 nautical miles and a cruising altitude of 45,000 ft., paints a detailed picture of weather systems in the upper atmosphere surrounding developing hurricanes.” (NOAA’s “Hurricane Hunter” Aircraft 2003) These aircrafts are chosen because the entire nature of a hurricane can be learnt from upside part of it. Due to GPS devices built in dropwindsondes of these machines can indicate pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind information from the inner layers of a hurricane “eye”. The National Hurricane Center perpetually makes several observations of the oceans and work hard especially in the period from the first of June until the thirtieth oh November, when the activity of hurricanes is the most terrible and such of them like Katrina, Teresa, El Nino, Anna, Sam may plainly appear and cause human and economic destruction for the coastal objects in the Atlantic
Introduction This report presents research findings and results undertaken to find out reasons behind small turn out of students and teachers in the National Sports Day events at the college, CNA-Q. Since introduction of the sports and events in the school, very few people use the sporting facilities. This report unveils the research strategies to be undertaken, the primary research method to be chosen, sample selection, data analysis to be performed, and a summary of the whole research in identifying the factors behind the problematic low turnout of students and in sports. As such, the main idea of the report is to present the results containing reasons of the low turnout in sporting activities and events in CAN-Q College, and provide recommendation on how to fix this problem. This report sheds lights of the exploratory research that will be undertaken, as it is fundamental in understanding students and staff tastes and preferences for in sports day (National Sports Day (2012) CNA-Q is one of the oldest colleges in Qatar providing higher education to the local residents since 2002. The college has over 650 staff as well as around 4600 students. The college also has excellent sports facilities ranging from fully equipped male and female gyms, to basketball, tennis and football courts. There are also two male and female swimming pools located in each gym with around the clock life guards as well has shower and locker room facilities maintained in top condition. The students and staff are encouraged to use these facilities to balance work and exercise and stay fit and fresh to perform their roles even better ( National Sports Day 2012). Nevertheless, students and staff do not use the sporting activities as expected and majority rarely attend the National Sports Day events at the college. This came as a big problem to the researcher since the a good amount of promotion done through email, flyers and posters and even through word of mouth among the students at the college campus. In addition, the service is free of charge to all the students and staff as well as the alumni of CNA-Q. The management has many questions on the underutilization of sports facilities against their expectation to recap the investment. Primary Research Method Chosen The research question seeks to find out the information about the opinions and perceptions of students with regard to low turnout of people in sporting events. By undertaking an exploratory research, it will provide sufficient information as per the knowledge of the researcher to enable one to comprehend this problem. As such, I settled to doing a mix of mix of primary and secondary research (Survey research n.d.). The primary research
The first important concept identified is program evaluation. As a registered dental hygienist and health system specialist, I must understand how programs are implemented and why they succeed or fail. As a professional, I might establish or implement a program once that will aim to provide positive improvements to my clients’ health status. However, I should also be aware of other studies and research conducted previously to evaluate what consequences my interventions will have and whether such consequences are necessary at all. Program evaluation also helps medical professionals develop their critical thinking skills that can be applied in practice, especially during the decision-making process. Since program evaluation is a particular method of research that focuses on gathering, analyzing, and implementing the results of the evaluation to one’s practice, it also helps me understand policy changes and predict their influence on my occupation and clients. One of the major parts of program evaluation is the assessment of the program need, something that is rarely done nowadays, especially with large, well-established programs that might not provide as many benefits as they did before. I believe that program evaluation could make the health system more efficient and cost-effective because it would disclose hidden issues and indicate any gaps that we need to address. However, I would not say that program evaluation of unsuccessful programs is meaningless Using its results, medical professionals and researchers can understand what possible mistakes can be avoided in the preparation of healthcare policies and various patient interventions. The assessment of healthcare policies’ impact on patients provides professionals with information about issues in Medicare and Medicaid. While some of them are difficult to solve single-handedly, I as a health system specialist can advise my patients about any arising issues, concerns, and problems to improve their quality of treatment and life. Health promotion is one of my major duties as a dental hygienist. The influence of the environment on the efficiency of health promotion is difficult to argue. As I have previously mentioned in one of my papers, the desire to smoke can decrease if employees work in a non-smoking environment. If the patient’s family is apt to consume healthy food, it is also more likely that the patient will engage in these useful activities too. My responsibility as a dental hygienist is to promote healthy lifestyle interventions to patients and explain how they are influenced by the environment we build. One should not neglect institutional and organizational factors that can affect health. For example, if patients’ colleagues often invite him or her to parties where smoking, drinking, and
Introduction The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in the year 1994 did approve the adoption of a policy paper, named, On the Relationship of Faculty Governance to Academic Freedom . This policy paper has further reiterated the inextricable link that exists between the governance of the faculty and academic freedom and that neither can thrive without the other. Prior to the adoption in 1994, there had been recognition of the profound connection between academic freedom and faculty governance by the committee that was set up by the AAUP in 1915 during their first ever meeting and the subsequent formation of a committee on the place and function of faculties in the university government and administration. The 1994 statement policy did uphold the importance of academic freedom, the freedom of inquiry and research, the freedom of teaching, and the freedom of expression and publication as part of its key elements. The elements that have been mentioned had been acknowledged by the founding members of the AAUP through their experiences at German institutions of higher learning. Palmetto State University recognizes that the faculty will in most cases have opinions and ideas which at best of times are contradictory to the commonly held wisdom or norms. At the university, academic freedom is considered to be focused on developing a sound scholarship and teaching excellence with total disregard for political correctness towards the government or the administration. This kind of approach is consistent with the prevailing wisdom on the idea of delegation of authority and its division between the administration, the faculty and the board of governors. Policies and Academic Freedom The policy statement of 1994 gives three reasons as to why the voice or the viewpoints of the faculty should be allowed in an authoritative dimension across the whole spectrum of the decision making process( Gordon, 1998). This statement also puts emphasis on the importance of the faculty having an atmosphere in which the members do not feel intimidated and are not afraid to express their views for fear of reprisal. The first reason that was advanced to support this notion is that it provides an avenue for the most efficient implementation and accomplishment of the universities’ goals and objectives due to the competency and expertise provided by the faculty committee and the individual scholars associated with the particular department (Kneller, 1964). The second reason is that universities exist for the purpose of teaching and carrying out research and finally, the drafters believed that giving authority to the faculty especially in areas of their expertise is a pre-requisite for the protection of academic freedom at any university. The policy statement talks about the freedom of the faculty and it includes such things as being able to express their views on issues affecting academic matters both in the classroom and while carrying out the research. They can also express their views on issues concerning the university and its policies and also o
