Williams puts stock in the “mortality of the spirit” and that everlasting life is futile in light of the fact that demise gives importance to life, however not in the existentialist feeling of the dread of death that does as such. However, death is as yet intelligent, which is not the same thing regardless of whether it is dreaded. Lucretius appears to have dreaded demise, as was quick to demonstrate it not to be wickedness. His contention infers that the length of life is immaterial. In that case, I have a question to Williams regarding whether having a long life brimming with beneficial things is superior to a short one without them. There is a line in Reflections on the Tedium of Immortality which states, “There is no desirable or significant property which life would have more of, or have more unqualifiedly, if we lasted forever” (Benatar, 2010, p.352). It implies Given current realities about human craving and joy and what human existence is, unceasing existence without the possibility of death would be unfortunate. This reminds me of After Many a Summer Dies the Swan by Aldous Huxley. Jo Stoyte’s covetousness, envy, and desperate longing for delayed life show the evil of time and needing at nearer range. At last, the twisted fifth Earl of Gonister, who live for two centuries is fit uniquely of gross evil nature, shows Propter’s postulation that lengthening the life time permitted to man expands and strengt
Public Sector Dealing With Clients’ Problems and Conflicts It is quite difficult to measure how much the public sector has been successful in dealing with clients’ problems and conflicts. This occurs due to the varying attitudes of people and understanding among the different clients; considering all these facts, the public sector needs to design strategies that would prove to be helpful in dealing with the issue. Certain key points are mentioned below:   * Serve the client’s interest.   * Support precision and inspection.   * Support to individual responsibility.   * Creating an organizational environment that can tolerate conflicts. The above key points have been outlined by the public sector to cater to the clients’ daily issues. They have proved to be quite efficient and make it easier to resolve the matters that tend to occur on daily basis. Management Perspective of Dealing with Conflict and Resolution in the Public Sector Managers all over the world have to cope with conflict situations but the ones in the public sector encounter a greater magnitude of conflict as compared to Managers in private sectors. Today in a bureaucratic setting, under loads of regulations and accountability, where managers are pressured to generate more from less, public organizations come across loads of factors that balance internal and external conflicts (Bercovitch). Identifying, dealing with, and resolute the conflict is, therefore, a crucial skill for public managers. However, dealing with conflicts is harder than it is to say. It demands skills that few public administrators possess. Sometimes the problem is not recognized, at other times managers themselves are avoiding confrontation or overlooking complex mattered. However, you can’t resolve conflicts by ignoring them, because negative conflicts always leave their aftermath. These kinds of managers are entitled to be inefficient and ineffective for their teams. Further, we would discuss in detail the organizational conflict and conflict resolution in the public sector. What is conflict? Conflict is defined as a process that generates opposition and discomfort between two parties. Conflict often becomes responsible for causing problems in the future relationship. Conflict develops when one of both parties or both of them does not respect the other’s feelings. The parties can be individuals or groups, or even organizations, or maybe an individual representing the larger group. Conflict in Public Sector Regarding workplace security and environment, the public sector or government is known to be the hardest one to work in. the workplace stress and violence ratio are also comparatively higher. The reason is that government plays diverse roles, some of which are law enforcement and regulatory. It controls and directs the practices and behavior of the public and organizations (Bercovitch). So eventually it attributes to an uneven interaction with the customers. Moreover, the image of a public sector employee or administration is subjected to an inappropriately abrasive stereotype. We often hear almost everywhere around us that government staff is indolent, slacker and inco
Public health nurses perform the greatest role in the maintenance and promotion of healthcare and are responsible for wellbeing crisis response, public guidance, and public health assessment. They hold an indispensable job in the avoidance of infection and help to advance local area wellbeing and security. They are dynamic in their networks to help improve the soundness of the populace (American Psychological Association, 2020). Since they are prepared as enlisted medical attendants, they can offer precise and supportive data about how individuals can secure their wellbeing. An essential focal point of public health nurses is training. They work with senior focuses, local gatherings, schools, and different associations to educate individuals about significant medical problems. They may show different wellbeing rehearses, show relatives how to focus on debilitated or dead friends and family, or urge individuals to get tried or inoculated against infections (American Psychological Association, 2020). They work to make wellbeing data available for people to settle on educated decisions about their wellbeing (American Psychological Association, 2020). Public health nurses guarantee that nursing obligations advance at a similar speed as the requests of general wellbeing by working with the survey and modification of public health nursing’s extension and norms of training. Great wellbeing results from legitimate clinical consideration and endeavors to specialty and executes public arrangements and projects to secure and improve the soundness, everything being equal. Recent instances of public health nurses’ efforts in California incorporate teaching the general population about COVID-19, share science-based data with the general society, and are preparing for the support and planning for a crisis. They promoted different campaigns and short lectures on the vaccination procedure, its significance, and complications. Reference American Psychological Association. (2020).

Introduction With the whole world going through a slow economic phase, Britain has made one profound observation: the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen. This is supported by demographic statistics from the deprived regions of the country. Birmingham and Liverpool, for example, has had the number of poor claimants increasing drastically over the last couple of years (Ian, 2009). Manchester is also amongst the poorest local authorities in Britain. In these regions, the fate of every child born is determined not by his/her performance later in life, but by the wealth status of the parents. Thus, children born in the same hospital can grow up to lead incredibly diverse lifestyles. There is simply little hope of crossing the wealth gap, also called social mobility, from an impoverished state to a middle class or upper class livelihood. The white paper on education and social mobility is set to attend to this issue. Britain’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, stated that even while the global economy is undergoing a down turn, future prospects were bright, and plans should be on hand to harness as much of the local potential as possible. The Minister for Cabinet Office, Liam Byrne, added that there was need to focus on the family units and communities, if Britain’s long term goals on prosperity were to be achieved (Cabinet, 2009). Equal chances would have to be provided to all citizens, regardless of background differences. Highlights of the white paper The social mobility white paper has several major highlights or points of focus. A basic point of focus is the disadvantaged kids under two years old. About 57 million pounds have been extended towards the health care of this age group. At the same time, all disadvantaged mothers will enjoy specialized care through pregnancy and the first two years of nursing. About 6,000 teachers will be receiving a 10,000 pound bonus to motivate them to stay in the schools where their services are needed most (Ian, 2009). The unemployment status will be offset by creating 35,000 entrepreneurship positions so that by 2013, all deserving young people will have something to live on. Gifted minds from poor backgrounds will receive government support in getting positions at the universities. Those not qualified for university education, and who are currently jobless, will benefit from a fulltime volunteer program
Abstract The analysis of worship is given in the paper. We assess the telos and ethos of the service, its contextual significance, and macro organizational patterns in the first section of the report. Secondly, the detailed historical and theological evaluation of liturgical units is provided. We describe the relevance of the selected ceremonial events and give the justification for their implementation in the service in the following paragraphs. The results of the analysis indicate that the suggested worship plan is constructed according to general rules of service structuring; it consistent and logical. Therefore, no changes are required. Introduction It is possible to say that the actions and decisions of the contemporary people are influenced by a great variety of controversial perspectives that make their knowledge chaotic and lacking certainty. This situation interferes with the belief in the universal ethical code of human behavior. Nowadays, people live in an unstable environment, in which the fundamental norms and main rules of morality have lost their power and, therefore, the quality of life and success largely depends on worldviews that people have. In this way, the responsibility to act ethically and rightly is the inner quality of every prudent person who understands the situation in which he or she lives and who wants to bring the positive change to the society. To do so, people need to have knowledge that would allow them to identify the best principles of behavior appropriate for a particular context and practice these principles accordingly. To develop this type of wisdom, a person needs to know God’s purposes (telos) and act towards their fulfillment through self-understanding (ethos). Telos and Ethos Overall, God’s telos can be defined as affirmation and protection of life at both personal and community levels. At the same time, in the Christian faith, ethical practice and development of self-understanding or ethos imply a compassionate attitude to others, promote love to live, and denote the service for the kingdom of God. According to Nicolet-Anderson (2012), “telos combines the good of the community and the shaping of the person into a Christ-like individual” (p. 146). And it is possible to say, that the same telos is represented in the service outlined in the second part of the assignment. The UMC service focuses on the Baptism of the Lord and remembrance of baptism. To understand the telos of the given service we need to evaluate the significance of baptism in the mainline Protestant denomination. “We are incorporated into God’s mighty acts of salvation and given new birth through water and the Spirit” (United Methodist Church [UMC], 2016a, para. 3). The ceremony of baptism can be regarded as a symbol of a believer’s self-identification with Christ; it is a symbol of a new life given by God and born of repentance,
Introduction Birmingham International Airport, which is currently known as Birmingham airport, is situated east of Birmingham city centre in England. The airport serves both domestic and international flights mainly to the Middle East, Europe, North America and Asia. Ranked the 7 th busiest in the United Kingdom, the airport has been a base for several famous airlines in Europe, such as Thomson Airways, Ryanair, Flybe, and Monarch. Moreover, Birmingham has been one of the most favourite airports for many passengers in Europe as evidenced in its performance in 2013, when it managed to hit a record of 9.6 million passengers (Feigh, 25). This may be attributed to the role played by operations manager and director at Birmingham Airport. Key Functions of Operations Management at the Airport There are various kinds of operations that are handled by operations management in order to provide quality products and services to customers. Some of the key functions of operations managers at the airport include coordinating and controlling terminal operations, controlling arrivals and departure of flights, and managing the day-to-day running of the airport as well as the performance of employees and service contractors. Moreover, an operations manager liaises with other organisations and government to achieve a common goal in air transport. Finally, the manager prepares reports on monthly operations in the industry including training and development of supervisory staff (Feigh and Pritchett 26) In controlling and coordinating the airport’s terminal operations, subordinate employees are given particular objectives and goals to accomplish. They undergo effective training in order to enable them to perform well in their respective areas of work. Big airline industries have a high number of employees to enhance service delivery to a large number of customers, unlike smaller airlines that have few and manageable crews. Another role involves the management of arrival and departure process of flights at the airport terminal, which is achieved through the day-to-day planning process. When certain unfavourable circumstances arise, change in operation planning is effected in order to determine the best way to handle issues and monitor progress. In order to manage day-to-day activities, operations managers should fully understand the technicalities of various positions involved. Some of the positions include central control coordinator, terminal departure supervisor, ramp patrol supervisor, and ramp planning supervisor (Feigh et al. 169). Indeed, through experience and knowledge, the operations manager is able to know the responsibilities of each position and manage every task involved. In managing the daily performance of staff members and service contractors, operations managers monitor and assess day-to-day activities of subordinate employees as well as the facility maintenance department. Facility maintenance supervisor ensures that any task on the ground is completed and resolved on time in order to facilitate the safety of flights. On a daily basis, each empl
Abstract Respiratory system regulates the volume of gases inhaled and exhaled by a person. This experiment examined the lung volume and capacities and the differences in vital capacities between genders. Furthermore, it investigated several factors that control the respiratory rate and volume, such as pH, O 2 , and CO 2 level. The lung volume helps in studying lung diseases and complications. Notably, the average vital capacity (VC) of men was higher than that of women. This might be due to physiological and anatomical differences between males and females, as well as body size. In addition, we examined the effect of re-breathed air in paper bags on breathing rate and tidal volume (TV). The subjects measured their resting respiration rates and tidal volumes for 2 minutes using a spirometer and a power lab recording system. Next, they measured the respiration rate during breathing in paper bag for 2-3 minutes. Their results indicated a slight increase in respiration rate from 15 to 17 breaths /min and an ideal volume increased sharply from 0.9 to 1.4. Remarkably, this indicated an increase in CO 2 level, which stimulated the increase in the quantity of exchangeable air. As a result, the tidal volume increased even though the rate was low. During hyperventilation CO 2, level decreased, which resulted in a decrease in the stimulus for breathing, thus the brain got less signals to re-breathe holding and took longer periods than normally to stimulate breathing from 73 to 119 sec. Introduction The respiratory system’s is tasked with supplying the body with ample O 2 and elimination of the waste products of tissue metabolism such as carbon (IV) oxide. The lungs volume is conditioned by inhale and exhale of air. Lung capacity is the sum of Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), Tidal Volume (TV), Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), and Residual Volume (RV) (Marieb and Hoehn, 2010). To understand one’s respiratory situation, Lung volume can be measured to give this information. Additionally, lung volume helps in accurate diagnosis of lung complications. As lung volumes and capacities can vary irregularly, in pulmonary patients they are regularly measured using a spirometer. The outcome can provide definite diagnosis and even distinguish between obstructive pulmonary disorder and restrictive disorder. These disorders come up when there is loss of total lung capacities and variation function of lungs ( Measuring Lung Capacity , n.d.). Upward change in TLC, FRC and RV may occur due to lungs hyperinflation in obstructive diseases. On the other hand, VC, TLC, FRC, and RV are because of restrictive diseases that limit lungs expansion (Marieb and Hoehn, 2010). Factors such as CO 2, O 2, and pH in arterial blood affect the rate of respiration. However, CO 2 pressure is the main stimulus that controls respiration in human bodies; therefore, any change in CO 2 level will lead to an increase of pH level to nine. Results Experiment 1: Measurement of Lung Volu
The preamble of the constitution of United States points out the importance of a more perfect union, justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare and liberty. The government of America is based upon the principle of democracy and this principle is approved by the theory of Montesquieu that the government that is elected by the people is the best form of government. The committee which was formed for the formation of the constitution included Hamilton, Morris, Madison, William Samuel Johnson of Connecticut, and Rufus King of Massachusetts. They used the theories and principles of Montesquieu, who urged that there must be a balance of power among the three groups of officials like in England. In England the power which was divided between the king, parliament and the judges of English court. And he called this idea of dividing the power into three branches as “separation of powers”. The theories of Montesquieu are based on judgment based universal reasoning and are applicable for the constitutions of modern republics and federation of states like United States. Moreover, Montesquieu was able to recognize the link between law, property and freedom. The constitution of the United States says that, the power of legislation is vested upon a congress of United States, which consists of a senate and House of Representatives, the executive power is vested on a president of the United States of America, and the judicial power of the United States is vested on a supreme court. Here David F. Weiman points out that, “In this historical case the pivotal event was the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788, two centuries before the Maastricht Treaty. Between formal independence in 1781 and the implementation of the Constitution reforms in 1789, the fledgling country was organised politically into a loose confederation of thirteen, virtually sovereign states. Despite the nominal powers granted to the national government under the Articles of Confederation, it lacked the direct means to collect taxes and to enforce its policies.” (Weiman, 2006). Historically, the constitution was ratified in 1788, and was reformed in 1789. This resulted in the political organization of the country into a loose confederation of thirteen states which are virtually sovereign states. Montesquieu believed that it is important to reconstruct the government of separate branches but with equal and different powers. This is aimed to avoid placing unlimited power with one individual or group of individuals. So the constitution ensures that no branch of the government can threaten the freedom of the people. The ideas of Montesquieu, which is related to the separation of powers among different branches of the government, became the basis of United States Constitution. The preamble of the constitution gives an abstract idea about the content and much of it is from a previous work by George Mason, the Virginia Declaration of Rights. Steve Mount points out that “The Declaration of Independence is divided into three main parts, in a style that was very common in its day
Galanz’s Competitive Strategy Galanz is a company that is based in China. Its main business is the manufacture and sale of microwaves. The company faces a lot of competition from other established companies, such as LG, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Samsung, among others. The company has had a long way en route establishing itself as a competitive organization considering the major players in the industry are few, but well established organizations. Initially, the company was only producing microwave ovens for sale in the domestic market. It used to purchase key components and production technology from Japan. The company then started its own Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) business. This attracted foreign brand owners to outsource their production to Galanz. The company then transformed into an Original Design Manufacturing firm. The combination of OEM and ODM facilitated its brand being recognized in the overseas market. The other competitive strategy that the company applied is low cost production. It had cheap labour and land, both of which facilitated in lowering the production cost. This was the major strategy that led to a large volume of sales as the company is able to offer its products at a relatively low price compared to the competitors (Thompson and Frank 552). In addition, the company had an R&D department that had undisputed capabilities of developing highly competitive and innovative products. Finally, the company has a brand name that is well recognised, both in China and abroad. The competitive strategies of Galanz are successful for a number of reasons. First, the low cost production enables the company to sell its products at a low cost. Second, the R&D facilitates quality production. Third, its strong brand has won the loyalty of customers across the globe. The three aspects combined have contributed to a successful competitive strategy for Galanz. Galanz’s Operation Strategies The company also worked towards changing and improving its operational strategies in its bid to succeed in the global market. The aim was to make the operations more effective and efficient and lower the cost of operation. This would be effective in boosting the competitiveness of the company. The operations manager was responsible for following up the company’s operation strategy. The operations manager makes decisions to manage the transformation process that converts inputs into
