Since inception, the web has evolved from Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and currently heading to Web 3.0 (Naik & Shivalingaiah, 2008). The Berners-Lee’s original concept of a Read/Write web is progressively being realized; take for instance, initially read/write web involved viewing hypertext documents but this has been made less complicated by the emergence of Weblogs and Wikis, inter alia. The new interactive and Read/Write web (such as Weblogs and Wikis) has provided editable web spaces, which is a shift away from the requisites of programming languages. These recent capabilities of the Web platforms typify the realization of Berners-Lee’s original concept of a Read/Write web. Most of these web platforms are under the umbrella of social media where users can collaborate and learn on themes or entities can gain following. The web is easily accessible across the world. It is a reality that through the Read/Write web teaching can be advanced without having students sit in a classroom. Unless teachers as educators fully embrace gains made with the realization of editable web spaces or ability to archive educational data for student access, the Read/Write web concept will not be a complete success. Nevertheless, the technological advancements in Read/Write web should address the problems of cost and risk associated with its use. The systems of education should shift minds and approach from individual participation to community involvement. The web developers should satisfy the skeptics’ views that wide use of the collaborative web tools invades individual privacy and participation relies on the level of trust between users. These perceived barriers of risk could partly explain why fewer teachers as educators are in collaborative web platforms than the student fraternity, especially of the younger generation. The shift in mindsets and approaches towards the use of the Read/Write web will be delivered by the solutions provided by web developers or/and teachers as educators having to do with them in their current and future natures. Continuous and active participation of teachers in Read/Write web solutions for education will provide a positive paradigm, such as the case of Vicki Davis who is a teacher and blogger. By embracing collaborative and participatory concepts that are entrenched in the utilities of the Read/Write web, learning becomes less linear. The Read/Write web liberalizes the learning process and partly decentralizes teaching role such that student equally and actively contribute to the knowledge gaining process. Under Read/Write web (nonlinear learning process) the teacher has overall control over student but not the knowledge pool. With regard to knowledge the teacher becomes first among equals. During a learning session under the Read/Write web, the gains made through active, interactive and collaborative means overshadow the challenges faced, while managing the learner’s participation. Students should be advised on web etiquette, wh
Graphic design is the art and science of preparing and portraying ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. In other contexts, graphic design visually conveys specific concepts or texts. These graphics can be as straightforward as a brand name or as complicated as font styles on a website. Creative director Alexandros Clufetos said that design work takes diagrammatic and text-based components and executes those into numerous formats, once pressed for details on the graphic design definition (Walker, Sue 549-559). It tends to help the production company hook up with the consumer and gives the impression of the task, occasion, campaign, or product. The importance of graphic design is in communication; design work goes beyond brand identification and recognition. My audience can be highly effective at drawing attention and encouraging them to learn more; it can also assist me in posting opinions with others by producing reference material (Walker, Sue 549-559). An educational picture can convey ideas that cannot be expressed in words alone. Via professionally designed graphics, I can create a good impression and help strengthen your message. It also enhances trust, and the successful brand helps build trust and credibility essential to the development of my business, and my brand promotes staff’s unity, commitment, and identity. Trust has a vital role in convincing buyers that their prod
Prior to crisis management action accurate analysis of a disaster situation is essential. Only after an obvious danger is established then can suitable handling or avoidance steps be taken. Catastrophe analytical procedures can equally be applied to exhausted care professionals. Trauma casualties and crisis management specialists are generally at risk of sympathy lethargy. A state of despair may engulf both a disaster victim and the caregiver. Diminished optimism has been observed in numerous care professions including nursing and counseling. Compassion fatigue occurs in repeated flashbacks of traumatic episodes. A common indicator of sympathy lethargy is intuitive freezing or expressiveness collapse. Psychological outcomes are inefficient work productivity and abandonment. Signs of compassion fatigue are comparable to burnout indicators. However, exhaustion status is distinct in that it occurs over a prolonged period. Burnout feelings are developed by a dissatisfaction of working conditions. On the other hand, compassion fatigue is accumulated and its origin can be traced back (Stang, 2010). Compassion fatigue is therefore as a result of individual reaction to a trauma situation. Exhaustion is directly connected to a psychological condition adapted by an individual. Trauma management experts can develop both compassion fatigue and burnout. The consequences are founded on individual disaster reaction. An individuals’ lethargic status, separated from despair, is directly linked to task performance. Weariness effects might be revealed by sluggish response, pessimism, or individual incompetence. Such qualities typify a diminished keenness to tackle a task and a mood of hopelessness (Miller & McGowen, 2010). Contemptuous approaches towards management of trauma victims can lead to care apathy. Consequently, fatigue developed by disaster assistance personnel can be predicted. An observation of personal approach to the task exposes tiredness. The outcome of work satisfaction is largely dependent on individual performance on a task. Population age sets reaction to traumatic episodes has solicited lengthy discussions among psychology scholars. Studies have suggested diverse opinions on age group response, susceptibility, and handling of disasters. However, advanced research has established disaster reaction and handling parallels exist among age sets. Different age groups respond to distressing episodes in comparable styles. Reactions to catastrophes based on troubled notions intensity, evasive conduct, and ensuing health challenges are alike across age sets. Disaster sensitivity accounts for how individual age groups respond to a traumatic event. Studies have established that disaster impact awareness is similar in all age sets. Disaster alertness relation between age sets contributes to response and coping
Tom Ramsey is an excellent demonstration of a reckless attitude and human development throughout life. His brother, George Ramsey, and he are complete opposites of each other, where the latter is more stoic and hard-working. Both of them started their professional and private lives in a decent amount of prosperity because each of them had a family and career. Tom and George cannot be an outstanding example of “from rags to riches” because they come from a middle-class family. Originally, “The Ant and the Grasshopper” was written to emphasize the importance of hard work and planning to succeed, but W. Somerset Maugham adds a piece of realism into the given storyline. The author shows that there are shortcuts in life, which can be abused. In addition, he demonstrates that society does not care about the means but solely focuses on the result. Tom’s behavior pattern is an example of the realization that there are no rules in life and that financial success can be achieved not only through meticulous work but also in seemingly dishonest ways. Thus, Tom was motivated by the positive reinforcement behavior model, which was mainly fueled by his emotions and understanding of his speaking capabilities, and the author portrayed him as a highly persuasive person. The story introduces Tom as a highly reckless and failing man who abandoned his normal life. He left his wife and job to lead an irresponsible and pleasure-driven existence, where Tom frequently causes troublesome situations. The writing pictures him as a representation of the grasshopper from “The Ant and the Grasshopper” story, who was not involved in hard work. Although the ant did not assist the grasshopper as frequently as George helped Tom, the older brother is a representation of the diligent insect. Tom’s general tendencies of behavior are driven by his urges and emotions rather than conscious and calculated decisions. He is also more inclined to heavily rely on his friends and brother to gain some financial assistance. Tom’s inner life philosophy is epicureanism, where he maximizes the number of pleasures and avoids pain and unpleasant experiences. The story portrays Tom as a liar and a dishonest person because he does not keep his promises given to George. The older brother was tricked and deceived by his younger sibling several times, who pledged to make some amendments in the way he lives. However, it is possible that Tom was undergoing major changes in his life by searching for things that would give him a passion and drive to not only survive but thrive. It is important to note that Tom’s approach to life is highly immoral and not righteous because he was a heavy
Introduction Strategy is one of the main concepts in modern management and marketing. Critics admit that strategic planning often spoils strategic thinking, causing managers to confuse real vision with the manipulation of numbers. And this confusion lies at the heart of the issue: Truly poor performance in any of strategy’s dimensions has the potential to offset excellence elsewhere. Similarly, a selective excellence, earnt or fortuitous — in strategic geography, for example, think of Britain in May-June 1940 — may well offset inferior performance in other dimensions. In general, the analysis finds that there is no single ‘master’ dimension of strategy, though people, politics, and time are strong candidates. Discussion In modern organizations, both strategic thinking and strategic planning are work together to help manager create successful strategies and goals of the organization. Drejer (2002, p. xxi)) supposes that: “strategy theory based on core competencies—or technology, since these two words are not clearly defined as mutually exclusive conceptions—has become an alternative approach to strategy making”. The assumption is that all systems, to some degree, partake of those combined characteristics and, thus, would be able to appropriate the planning process accordingly. A closely h
Introduction In one of the most critical passages of the Bible, James writes, “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell” ( NIV, Jam. 3.6). It is a harrowing warning regarding the power of words and their connection to sin. The tongue can be used for both good and evil, and sin always seeks to corrupt and drive souls into damnation. Despite the common misconception that actions matter more than words, it is with words that humans communicate, express emotion, and exchange information. Words are just as powerful in their ability to betray, to hurt, to curse but also to heal, to love, and to bless. In this passage, James warns of carefully controlling ‘the tongue’ as words cannot be taken back and emphasizes that just as the soul cannot be both good and evil, once certain boundaries are crossed with one’s words – it is a path to damnation through the very corruption by the tongue. Origins of the Tongue The destruction of tongue is as old as sin itself. It is an inherent part of human nature to speak, to express thoughts and feelings. God created the extraordinary gift of the human language, alongside the complexity of the vocal and mental capacities to use it. As God said to Moses, “Who hath made man’s mouth?… have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say” (Exodus 4.11-12). The gift of language and tongue was given so that He could reveal His Word and Will to humans, and we could respond back in faith and praise (Morris). All humans, at one point, have spoken without thought, on instinct or emotion and, as a result, created consequences for themselves and others stemming from words. From the early days, the faithful realized the power of the tongue and also the role of general faith in controlling it. David prays, “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips” (Ps. 141.3) while Paul emphasizes the sins of the tongue, “Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they keep deceiving, the poison of asps is under their lips” (Rom. 3.13). More harm is potentially done by the ton
The term twice-exceptional, often abbreviated as 2e, entered the lexicon of researchers and practitioners in the field of education in the mid-1990s. The expression refers to children who are special in two different ways: they demonstrate outstanding intelligence and solid performance in school but have a learning issue of a sort. This co-occurrence of academic giftedness and learning disability calls for specific strategies that would help children to unlock their full potential and overcome their difficulties. Baldwin, Baum, Pereles, and Hughes (2015) argue that for years, there has been no comprehensive legislation that would provide schools with guidelines on how to handle twice-exceptional learners. In the mid-1970s, the public administration offered definitions for the terms “gifted” and “learning disabled” and provided separate strategies on how to meet the needs of these two demographics (Baldwin et al., 2015, p. 210). The 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act ensured the right of all children with learning disabilities to education. Three years later, the Gifted and Talented Children’s Education Act was passed that outlined what would qualify a child as gifted but did not consider the possibility of him or her having a learning issue. Baldwin et al. (2015) claim that this discrepancy in legislation needs to be overcome so that twice-exceptional learners are no longer mistreated and dismissed. The authors describe the events of the Communities of Practice 2e Summit and report that it helped to make progress toward a common language and a shared vision regarding special children. I think that since the 1970s, the situation with 2e learners has improved but is still far from ideal. The article was an eye-opener — I was surprised at the complexity of the legal process of defining psychological concepts. Belonging to two groups with unique needs is not easy for school-aged children. Hopefully, this issue will attract more attention, and schools will receive official guidelines on how to ensure the safety and comfort of 2e learners.

Introduction Shakespeare’s Hamlet is one of his best-known plays because of the well-written dialogue and soliloquies which use vivid and rich language filled with rhetorical devices. The play consists of both short and extended metaphors mixed in with allusions which contribute to building the plot themes and character development. Shakespeare’s use of allusion and metaphors in Hamlet is vital to creating the dramatic imagery surrounding the play and foreshadowing the extent of the growing conflict. Allusion There are multiple allusions spread throughout the play dialogues and soliloquies. Shakespeare was fond of allusions as a rhetorical device as they were able to describe and evoke emotions in the audience that would instantly recognize the reference. Shakespeare utilized allusions to the Ancient Hellenic and Roman Empire world as well as several Biblical allusions in Hamlet . In one of his soliloquies, Hamlet says, “My father’s brother, but no more like my father/ Than I to Hercules” ( Hamlet 1.2 157-158). It is part of the character exploration, for both himself and his uncle. It reveals him as a displaced figure, both literally and figuratively. Hercules creates an image of the great hero in people’s minds, a force for good, which Hamlet implies that he
The importance of promoting the consistent change can be deemed as the primary trend that can be observed in the context of healthcare nowadays (Boet et al., 2014). Powered by the increasingly high competition rates in the global market and a change in the value system from the problem- to the patient-centered approach, the identified trend heralds a new era in the healthcare realm since it implies the focus on the active promotion of quality improvement and the possibility of lifelong learning for healthcare practitioners, thus, introducing the principles of talent management into the HRM system. It would be wrong to claim that the propensity to change used to be alien to the healthcare environment. Quite on the contrary, significant alterations have been introduced to the specified environment over time. The importance of HRM as a part of the corporate progress has risen to 25-35% of the corporate processes. Furthermore, there has been a shift from employee engagement to employee experience (Spence, 2017). These changes, however, do not imply that healthcare practitioners must keep the focus on the consistent improvement and, therefore, adopt the principles of lifelong learning (Manuti, Pastore, Scardigno, Giancaspro, & Morciano, 2015). Managing healthcare staff members efficiently, while often being rather complicated due to the intrinsic issues within an organization, in fact, incorporates several rather basic steps. The specified task can be accomplished by changing the Nurse-to-Patient Ratio (NPR) and making sure that each member of a healthcare facility is provided with the tasks that they can handle. The next step involves encouraging healthcare experts to acquire the relevant knowledge and skills so that the quality of the provided services could increase. Finally, reinforcing the significance of patient education and building a cross-cultural dialogue with the target community must be considered a necessity (Shih et al., 2014; Maher, Sotoude, & Hosseini, 2016). To make sure that the trend mentioned above becomes an integral part of the target healthcare environment, one should consider promoting the significance of the characteristics of healthcare such as the patient-oriented value system and the focus on the active information management. The adoption of a patient-centered framework will help view the needs of the target population as the primary goal. The reconsideration of the information management strategy, in turn, will contribute to a vast improvement in the speed quality of new skills acquisition (Bogaert, Dilles, Wouters, & Rompaey, 2014). Engagement levels among the staff members should be viewed as the key HR metric. The engagement rates will indicate problems in the staff motivation levels. Furthermore, an analysis of engagement in the environment of a healthcare organization may lead to the design of an improved approach toward encouraging employee-manager communication. Turnover, as well as nurse-to-patient ratio, are two other important metrics. Both help identify a problem in HR management, par
Abstract Sexual abuse at an early age instills immense fear in children. In case of child sexual molestation, victims are normally extremely young to have the capacity to express themselves concerning the experience of sexual abuse. This explains why help in the form of medical and therapeutic interventions is delivered after the incident has taken time upon its occurrence. Wieckowski and Hartsoe (2006) suggest that when the trauma of sexual abuse among children is not treated in good time, it translates into posttraumatic stress disarray, nervousness, and/or depressive mayhem (p.294). Trauma associated with childhood sexual abuse affects society in all dimensions ranging from the victim to the family. Perceptions of shame preoccupy the experiences of sexual molestation. Sexual abuse encompasses the misuse of children erotically, physically, or even emotionally (Wieckowski & Hartsoe, 2006, p.293). It amounts to a crime even if no physical contact is made during the process of abuse. The phrase ‘even if physical sexual contact is not made’ implies some acts such as the use of children in the production of pornographic materials, exposure of one’s genitals to seduce a child, grooming, and/or even intimidation. They all amount to sexual abuse. Research on childhood sexual abuse in clinical settings dwells on the psychological problems associated with sexual abuse such as self-esteem, dysfunction disorder, and depression. This paper discusses the religious views of child molestation together with a discussion of the trauma of child sex
Introduction With the current global economic and social challenges, most people are stressed and this condition degenerates into depression among other mental disorders if unaddressed. Although most countries are aware of these challenges, they focus on economic developments while ignoring the citizens’ human needs. Such a trend creates a form of estrangement between the government and its citizens especially the poor, thus enhancing despair. Social sciences focus on such despair to articulate the vision of a good life among the alienated persons. Scientific fields such as psychology can be used to show what the alienated employees can do to improve their status within society. In addition to documenting some of the factors that account for successful children, families, and governments, psychologists equip people with the knowledge of how to survive at times of challenges. By emphasizing prescribed traits, psychologists introduced the concept of positive psychology. Positive psychology aims at enhancing an individual’s prescribed traits such as courage, perseverance, and wisdom among others. Challenges that prevail in society affect students among other members of the public. Recently, there has been an increment in the rate of stress and depression together with other mental conditions amongst school-going children and youths. However, these challenges can be eliminated by emphasizing the reliance on positive traits such as focusing on self-esteem, efficacy, and optimism. In the absence of stress, students’ performance improves as they shift their focus from academic stress to strengthening their efficiency and esteem together with reducing their interpersonal sensitivity (Shoshani & Steinmetz, 2013). Positive psychology is an effective way through which the government, schools, and parents can eliminate academic stress amongst students. Mental health in schools In the past, schools across the United States have experienced an increased pressure to improve performance with the government pushing them to account for the students’ academic achievements. Although the new standards marked a crucial milestone especially in improving academic performance and achievements amongst students, learners experienced emotional stress due to the stringent academic demands (Riolli, Savicki & Richards, 2012). The increment in the number of stressed students is an indicator of the rigorous academic environment. Currently, the country is witnessing a rise in the rate of mental disorders and suicides among children and youths. Apart from the social stressors, some researchers attribute this trend to the academic challenges that these people encounter due to the stringent academic standards (Antaramian, Huebner, Hills & Valois, 2010)
