Introduction The holistic health promotion model offers better therapy, is very logical but at the same time narrow. It disqualifies other measures that are “like Cures”. The holistic approach takes the best possible perception of sickness, addressing the various possible causes, offering a therapy process that is multi-dimensional that is opposed to the cures that target specific illnesses. The model is concerned with an individual’s susceptibility towards disease as well as the transmission. The approach also assesses how people can try to get more hardy or disease-resistant before seeking intervention by medication or become more resilient before catching a disease. This paper will therefore address the concerns in a holistic approach that will include spiritual support and beliefs, physical concerns, and the possible distress in the context of a family; the significance of a holistic health strategy; the importance of the holistic approach, and development of the strategy. A Holistic Health Promotion Strategy Holistic support of health is an intervention strategy that takes into account factors that affect the wellbeing of human beings and these include the physical body, the emotional aspect, the mind, and the spiritual perception of human beings. The strategy also combines the best service in modern medicine about the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis as well as intervention (Berg, 2002, p. 385). In this case, ancient and innovative means of intervention can be used to support modern therapy in achieving better results. The patients seem to be strict believers and therefore staunch followers of their religious beliefs as well as their cultural principles. This is evidenced by the fact that Manam who is a male aged 55 years of age suffers depression, anxiety as well as painful urination but does not want his wife to be notified of his condition. He also finds it very hard to discuss his problem with the female nurses. When asked questions that related to his other urinary symptoms, the patients feel very reluctant to inform the female nurses. In the first year, he had denied hematuria but he ultimately came to admit having experienced hematuria. Shuba, the wife of Manan states that she had been using herbal drugs which have not worked for her, however. During the examination, the patient hesitated to take off her gown due to issues of modesty. Furthermore, she has continued taking foods that are high in carbohydrates and fats despite having been on high blood pressure drugs. The strategy of intervention, in this case, will be very critical since the patients will need to be monitored and treated in a way that they would feel that their spiritual or cultural beliefs are not infringed. The holistic approach will work on the basis that good health is a very strong social and econ
Introduction In her essay “Men Explain Things to Me”, Rebecca Solnit tackles the themes of power, gender, and feminism in the society. She addresses the issue of feminism by exploring the various issues affecting women in the society. She explores gender rights within the contemporary society and how men assume that women know “very little about anything” (Solnit 2). Throughout the book, themes of the relationship between male and female genders are explored in depth. An analysis of the text reveals that Solnit has nothing against men. However, it appears that she has a deep understanding of the various problems arising from the nature of men. “Men Explain Things to Me” is one of the essays written by Solnit in a book by the same title. All the texts in this anthology focus on the disparities between men and women, especially with regards to the generally accepted misconception that women know little. The female members of the society are rarely allowed to express themselves. In addition, they are expected to listen to men, who assume that they know very little or nothing at all about anything. In this paper, the author analyzes the theme of feminism in the essay by Solnit. The arguments made in the analysis are supported by resources addressing this topic. “ Men Explain Things to Me”: A Synopsis The essay begins with a narrative of how Solnit and one of her friends visited the home of one “imposing man who had made a lot of money” (Solnit 1). From the onset, it is clear that Solnit has a problem with men and how they treat women. Her agenda in this article touches on the nature of men in contemporary society. She goes on to describe how the man she was visiting with her friend reacts after realizing that she is an author. The man describes her work as “[encouraging] your friend’s seven-year-old to describe flute practice” (Solnit 2). It is an indication of how men have a low opinion of the achievements made by women in the society. Solnit tells the man about her recent work in Eadweard Muybridge. However, he does not even wait for her to finish talking. He is quick to cut her off by enquiring whether or not she had “heard about the very important Muybridge book that came out this year” (Solnit 2). In vain, Solnit and her friend try to impress it upon the man that he w
Purposes of Reward within a Performance Management System Rewards are very important and fruitful in the performance of organizations. Rewards serve several functions in organizations (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, para.1). Motivation Rewarding employees more often than not serves as a motivating factor to them. When employees put a lot of effort into their work and attain high results in the performance of their duties in time, as it pertains to the timeliness set for the specific projects, the employee will expect to be recognized by the manager for his or her input. Such employees will thus expect to receive a certain award for the performance. Rewarding employees will thus make them more competitive thus boosting the productivity of the firm (Griffin and Moorehead, pp. 156). Reward aids in the recruitment of workers and their retention in the firm The image of an organization is mostly reflected through the presence and or absence of a proper reward system within the performance management system of the firm. When the organization has a good reward system, it will be easy for the organization to attract more candidates during recruitment exercises (Griffin and Moorehead, pp. 156). Loyalty When workers in the organization have a feeling that their input in the organization is being recognized and or appreciated, their loyalty to the employers grows. When the firm does put in place an efficient reward system, the organization will most likely get many loyal workers. Such a firm is likely to have high rates of retaining workers thus high productivity for a long time (Griffin and Moorehead, pp. 158). Attaining fair and consistent employers If the firm fully implements the reward system which is linked to the performance management of the firm, the worker will view and or consider it to be a fair as well as a consistent employer thus attracting workers which will result in a fair and sustainable working environment (Griffin and Moorehead, pp. 157). Components of a Total Reward System A reward management system in an organization normally has various tenets. Benefits In addition to the salaries and wages and or benefits that are paid to the employees, some firms do give extra benefits to these salaries and wages. These benefits are:-   * Housing and car loans   * Health insurance   * Allowance for the education of children   * Allowances for extra training   * Sponsorship for extra training among many other benefits. When firms increase allowances and benefits to the employees, employees are unlikely to exit the firm. This will also attract more willing employees to the
Introduction The history of Christianity dates back to thousands of years ago. It is connected with divisions, debate and conflicts. Though these issues are common with all major world religions, Christianity to a certain extend has endeavored to address them openly. Besides these challenges, Christianity has exploited the beauty that comes with the religion. This is illustrated in the form of painting, worship, literature, architecture and music. The beauty has continued to carry on with the mission Jesus Christ entrusted them. The basis of Christianity is tied to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through this belief, Christianity has attractedmore than a billion adherents globally.Though the twentieth centuryhas seen Christianity split into various denominations, the largest being the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and countless protestant churches respectively. This essay gives a brief summary of Christianity. It begins by tracing the periods of Christianity establishment from the early periods of its growth to present. It also illustrates the factors such as; early Christian beliefs, the assembly of believers and separation from Israel among other factors that contributed to its spread.The paper also discusses Paul’s mission among the Gentiles was an element to the rapid spread of Christianity in places such as; Thessalonica Alexandria, Antioch and Ephesusamong other places. Guisepi notes the early period of Christianity growth contributed to Christianity taking rootin some parts of the Middle East and Roman Empire (Guisepi). The period was a starting point that increased people interest in Christianity, asit expanded to new lands. However, the expansion was viewed by the Romans as a source of threat to their authority. They reasoned that, if more people joined Christianity, they would challenge theRoman Leadership. This made Roman Emperors such as; Marcus Aurelius, Domitian, Decius and Valerian to devise strategies of halting further spread and expansion in the Roman Empire. The strategy in place was persecuting those who were perceived to be Christians. The rulers did this on a wider scale. Emperor Diolectian who ruled between 284 and 260 was among the leading rulers who strengthened the persecution in the Empire. However, after Constantine the Great assumed the throne, he issued a decree of tolerance in 313 in favor of all religions present in the Empire (Guisepi). It is in 380 that Theodosius 1 officiallyrecognized Christianity as religion in the Roman Empire. The middle age saw Constantine and Rome gaining more influence aboutChristian’s affairs.However,their active influence on Christianity matters created theological challenges,centuries after the Emperor Constantine. Hence, this led to the fixing of a council to solve these theological issues. The Roman church under the stewardship of the bishops and
Integrated marketing communications is a method that organizations and firms all over the world have started to use to create the best possible influence and communication with their current and potential customers. Integrated marketing communications allows using multiple tools and channels to help the marketing program cover as many aspects and areas as possible. This approach has proved to be extremely effective; it is designed to involve large amounts of people and create an impression of seamless brand experience for the customers by many different means (Introduction to Integrated Marketing Communications par. 1 n.d.). The variety of tools IMC works through is big – it includes traditional mass-media and digital media. Integrated marketing communications covers such ways of marketing as television, newspapers and magazines, radio, digital billboards and all the possibilities internet has to suggest – this includes marketing through social networks, blogs, micro blogs, forums and webinars.  1. Great examples of the companies that manage to cover various means of advertising with the same campaign are companies like So Delicious (Grinberg 2012). This company has been extremely successful over last couple of years because of the use of IMC. They have their advertising running everywhere: outdoor, on television, in the internet and in magazines. So Delicious has demonstrated how quickly and rapidly the number of fans and consumers grows once the company has joined its efforts to cover many media means at a time and produce the maximum influence. Another amazingly useful technique So Delicious added to the list of their ways to spread the word was an appearance of a celebrity in their social campaign. As a result – the number of their fans skyrocketed by nearly a thousand per cent.  2. One of the biggest challenges for the organizations that are planning to start IMC is to create a harmony between all the media they are using. The experience from the point of view of a consumer has to be seamless; the brand awareness has to be flowing for the customer but not confusing or frustrating. IMC does not only include the company’s communication with the consumers. Another important aspect of it is the company management. Huge corporations like Nike have great marketing campaigns but they have failed the management part and the company has gone through several loud scandals related to inner management. As a result the company’s reputation was affected. Large companies like Nike and Proctor & Gamble lose the balance between the product development and communicational strategies (The Emergence of Integrated Marketing Communications 2014).  3. In recent years main goal of IMC campaigns was growth of audience– increasing number of fans. It is predicted that the new goal of the developing IMC is going to be engagement. The audience does not only need to be attracted, it also will have to be entertained by rewards, prizes, giveaways, contests and gifts. Posting the same content on the fans’ social networks pages will soon become boring. The information will start to repeat itself and annoy the audience. The future of integrated marketing communication l
Literature Review In academic arena, English plays a very crucial role especially in institutions whereby it has been used for infinitely long period of time as a medium of instruction. Students are expected to not only communicate effectively in English language. They are also supposed to master its extensive usage so that they can be able to grasp full content in their various fields of study. According to Bacha and Bahous (2008), there is no possibility of excelling in institutions which use English as medium of communication. Therefore, tremendous effort geared towards learning English language both from the teacher and learner levels is relevant in order to help students overcome academic demands so as to excel in their respective disciplines. Additionally, the acquired skills will assist students in meeting the demands of English language use in a professional context (Bacha & Bahous, 2008). Ismail (2011) explicates that the academic context consign strenuous demands on students as they are required to complete numerous writing tasks in different genres such as essays, research papers and critical reviews. On the other hand, for learners to be able to decipher the different structure and language forms that are most suited for diverse form of texts, they ought to focus on learning the rules of the language that is being used for instruction. Furthermore, in his study on students’ perceptions on writing in ESL, Ismail found out that English plays vital role in initiating students to the wider academic community owing to their improved proficiency and also due to their ability to make distinctions between language activities used in specific genres. Further exploration of students’ perceptions indicated that the kind of attitudes that students held towards ESL either hindered or promoted their writing ability. On the same note, Bacha (2002) underscores that English has been elevated to a higher status around the world owing to the fact that it is the preferred language of use for various specific purposes. Needless to say, English is a preferred medium of instruction in many academic institutions across the globe bearing in mind that even the non-English speaking countries have adopted English in their academic curriculum. For this reason, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Arab world as well as from other parts of the globe have little alternative but to learn English despite the difficulties they encounter in the course of learning. In spite of the fact that L1 (Arabic) has a role to play in students life, it is imperative to mention that English for academic purposes is very crucial not just to outshine in academic field, but also to fit in the global arena whereby it is the main language of communication. Concurrently, this current research offers an in-depth exploration on the use of English for purpose of academic learning and of course the acquisition of knowledge. In addition, it also highlights the difficulties Arabic speakers encounter in the course of switching between Arabic fo
Introduction: The Issues Learned Among the issues that have been learned during the curriculum, I should mention the idea that the innovations in the sphere of hospitality industry depend considerably on the added value. Once creating the right strategy in the world where globalization is taking its toll, one should keep in mind that the innovations are the key to success; allowing people to adapt to the changes in the world, they provide certain stability at the same time. It is also essential to mark that innovation is most likely to result in a superior process, which, in its turn, will contribute to the management of one of the 3 Ps, namely, people (out of people, process, and physical evidence). Once offering innovations into the modern world of hospitality industry, one is likely to attract more tourists, since the barriers for free trade and other limitations are eliminated with the help of globalization. The Innovations in the Hospitality Industry According to the researches conducted by a number of scientists, the most essential innovations in the sphere of hospitality industry concern mainly the issue of and are induced by such phenomenon as globalization. Among the most obvious changes in the sphere of hospitality industry, one should mark such phenomena as the radical innovation and the incremental innovation. According to what Martinez-Roz & Orfila-Sintes (2009) claim, the former presuppose the use of the new attributes of hospitality industry, whereas the latter include the additional characteristic of the old, time-tested services (p. 632). In addition, one should mark the emergence of such phenomenon as the global tourism (Peric, 2005), which is supposed to help people grow aware of the way the boundaries between countries merge with globalization. The Positive Effects Speaking of the positive effects of the changes induced by globalization and progress in the hotel industry, one must stress that the positive effects of the revolution in the tourism industry are obvious. According to the results of Knowles, Diamantis & Bey El-Mourhabi’s (2004) calculations, the business sphere is going to prosper because of the surge of tourists and the decrease of the online advertising costs (p. 101). Moreover, it is essential that one of the most powerful tools, interactivity (p. 102) will be at the disposal of entrepreneurs. Hence, the business and, therefore, the state, will be prolific. The Negative Effects However, it cannot be doubted that with the advent of globalization, certain negative effects can also occur. According to the prognoses of the scientists, it must be admitted that the changes induced by globalization in the sphere of tourism and hospitality industry are going to result in massive job cuts and complexities in obtaining job proposal. According to the evidence from Canada, the job opportunities in the sphere of hospitality industry are rather deplorable there already: “older people should now move on to create job opportunities for the young” (Welsh Affairs Committee, 2009, p. 278). The Analysis of Current Hospitality Industry State Judging from the above-mentioned, it can be concluded that the globaliz
Introduction The situation described in this prompt occurred roughly three years ago with a friend of mine, who studied in a university of Architecture and Engineering. During summer practice, he and his fellow students attended a geodesy class. For the group project, the professor told the students to divide themselves into groups of four and elected four of them to serve as leaders for every respective group. These leaders, called “brigadiers” for every student brigade, were to assume responsibility for the group, coordinate group efforts, and do everything in their power to ensure the success of their group project. My friend was elected to be a leader of one such group. In this paper, we are going to analyze the reasons why the professor elected him to be a brigadier, through the prism of Three-Skill Leadership approach. The Three-Skills Leadership Approach The Three-Skill Leadership approach was first conceptualized by Robert Katz in 1955 and outlined in his article titled “Skills of an Effective Administrator,” published in Harvard Business Review in the following year. This approach was later expanded on by M.D Mumford in his article titled “Leadership Skills for a Changing World: Solving Complex Problems” (Mumford, 2000). This approach identifies three essential skills that a leader must possess in order to be effective – technical skills in the field required for performing the task and grading performance of the subordinates, human skills necessary for facilitating communication and leadership, and conceptual skills necessary for setting greater vision and goals for the future (Northouse, 2016). Implementation in Practice While it is unlikely that the university professor knew of this model or consciously implemented in when making decisions about appointing brigadiers for the student groups, his approach mirrored at least two of three tenets of the Three-skill leadership approach. All four leaders, including my friend, were picked among the better students in the class. At the same time, it must be noted that the students with the highest scores were largely denied leadership positions on the grounds of them having poor people’s skills – the majority of high-scoring students in the class were antisocial and reclusive in nature. Their work was always excellent, but they did not know how to reach out to other students. All four leaders possessed a modicum of social competence and had a good reputation among their peers. Thus, it is possible to see that the professor accounted for two out of three skills mentioned in the Skill Leadership Approach. The third part about conceptual skills was largely neglected. However, in his work, Mumford (2016) did state that conceptual skills were the prerogative of high-end managers and leaders and were largely unnecessary for hands-on leaders, who required s
