In America, the beginning of the 1960s was characterized by a number of political and civil movements that were aimed at providing the Black people with rights, freedoms, and opportunities. Regarding the thoughts developed by Malcolm X and Mr. King and the outcomes of their murders, many people did not want to accept the fact that a Black man should not have the rights to power. The fact that a Black man was deprived of power made people believe that they deserved that right and that they had all possibilities to achieve power and use it as they wished. Black Americans were constantly oppressed, and protests and revolutions turned out to be the only chance to change the situation. Though many Whites admitted that the Blacks promoted hate as the only weapon to demonstrate their intentions ( Eyes on the Prize ), the participants refused that idea underlining that the only strong desire they have is “to live with hope and human dignity that existence without them is impossible” (Newton 5). The Black Power movement helped to provide people with a sense of racial pride. People had not to be afraid of the color of their skin. All they had to do was to comprehend that the white color is not better than the black color, and there was no person, who could give a clear explanation of why racial diversity should be developed in favor of the Whites. There were a number of attempts to prove the worth of the black nation, and the creation of the Black Panther Party was one of the brightest achievements in the middle of the 1960s. Huey Newton and Bobby Seale were the founders of the party when they came to the conclusion that there was no other way to deal with white shotguns that spread fear among ordinary black citizens and the instability that deprived people of hope. The idea to create a new political party that could be legally approved was based on casual discussions and conversations (Newton 111). People were in need of something more than the white rooster that represented the Democratic Party, and the elephant that represented the Republican Party. Now, it was a black cat that spoke for all Black communities ( Eyes on the Prize ). The ideas offered by the Black Panther Party were impressive. It was not enough for them to ask for freedoms, education, employment, etc. It was neces
Capitalism results in increased production for gain in competitive markets. It creates an economic structure where the private earnings-maximization motive is at the center of its virtues and faults. The advantages of capitalism are entrenched in its striking productivity and development levels. The gain maximization sense stimulates producers to concentrate on what they can best produce and invest in modern expertise to augment effectiveness and productivity (Pemunta, 2018). The two research questions chosen for this study include: In which ways does capitalism facilitate or hinder productivity and growth? What makes capitalism blameworthy or guiltless for environmental disasters? Whilst failing to check past what appears to be the source of dissatisfaction, environmental scientists and ecologists affirm that overpopulation coupled with unrestrained industrial activity results in disasters, for instance, climatic change, water contamination, global warming, acid deposition, soil degradation, and air pollution. Population upsurge and enormous industrial output in developing and developed nations have harmful effects on the climate and the environment. Literature Review With international environmental degradation and social issues becoming serious, scholars started to worry about the best method of resolving the challenge (Sung & Park, 2018). In the recent past, researchers have emerged that connect capitalism to sustainability and cover the extensive notion of sustainable business practices, encompassing environmental, economic, and social ideals. For capitalists, social and ecological issues such as climatic change and environmental degradation may generate an
When conversing with representatives of different cultures, it is pivotal to take into account their etiquette rules. This paper provides several recommendations for conversing with British (mainly English) and Brazilian people. British (and specifically English) people can be expected to be Christian, highly individualistic, rank high on Masculinity (according to Hofstede’s dimensions), but rank low on power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation (“The United Kingdom,” n.d.). It is paramount to be highly punctual, even arrive several minutes early, wearing conservative business attire. Also, one should not breach the privacy of English individuals, respect their personal space, and not maintain eye contact. In addition, it is not recommended to rush English people into making decisions. Also, it is advised not to talk about work when socializing after work hours (“United Kingdom,” n.d.). Finally, it is important that citizens of the U.K. do not consider themselves Europeans, and individuals from Northern Ireland, Wales, or Scotland may become offended if they are called English (“United Kingdom,” n.d.). Simultaneously, the representatives from Brazil can be expected to be predominantly Roman Catholic (“Brazil,” n.d.). When it comes to Hofstede’s dimensions, Brazilians score high on uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and long-term orientation; they have quite low scores on individualism (“Brazil,” n.d.). When conversing with Brazilians, males should wear a three-piece suit (for executives); females are also expected to dress conservatively (“Brazil,” n.d.). It is critical to make appointments in advance (at least two weeks before the meeting), not to begin business discussions before the host, and to be on time for a business meeting (in San Paulo and Rio-de-Janeiro). Males should shake hands, whereas females “kiss” by placing their cheeks on one another and kissing the air (“Brazil,” n.d.). Brazilians tend to establish long-term relationships, which is paramount in business. All in all, it is important to wear formal attire and be on time for meetings. Nevertheless, the behaviors practiced with the English and Brazilians should differ: English should
Abstract Engineering is an important profession that helps people to develop sustainable innovations needed to solve different problems. The field has a direct impact on the quality of life and the environment. To ensure efficient working, engineers are guided by codes of ethics, which define their values and principles. Over the centuries, some innovations have been developed. In this paper, the author discussed the Green Building Novelty. The innovation aims at promoting sustainability by addressing economic, social, and environmental concerns. Some of the environmental impacts of the novelty include a reduction in waste, as well as conservation of water and energy. In terms of society, innovation provides people with cheap and comfortable housing. Besides, the Green Building promotes health and personal fitness. Introduction Innovation is the application of improved resolutions that meet new requirements or current market needs. It may entail the creation of new and more effective technologies, products, services, and business models that are available to the society, markets, and the government (Beatley & Newman, 2009). Innovation is brought about by several factors. The facets include efforts by different persons to come up with something new and unique, changes in market and industry structure, competition, and human perceptions. In most nations, innovation for sustainability is given the highest priority by engineers. In Australia, for example, novelty is considered to be essential for sustainable growth in peoples’ standards of living and quality of life. The country’s engineers believe that the world has finite resources. As a result, it is important to develop ways of doing more with less to achieve sustainable growth. One of the innovations that entail doing more with less is the green building design. The sustainable construction model involves the setting up of structures that are environmentally friendly and resource-efficient throughout their lifecycle. According to Floyd and Bilka (2012), innovation is characterized by finding a balance between homebuilding and a sustainable environment. In this paper, the author will provide an in-depth analysis of the Australia Green Building Innovation for Sustainability. The concepts to be discussed include the origins of the project, its impacts, and how the innovation addresses sustainability concerns. Also, the paper will focus on the ethical issues associated with green building design. The Origin of the Green Building Innovation in Australia Historical Overview The origin of green building innovation is traced back to the late 19 th century. However, the concept gained widespread momentum in the first decade of the 21 st century. Some of the early buildings that were constructed using the green innovation design include the National Building Museum in Washington DC, London’s Crystal Palace, Milans’s Galleria, and Vittorio Emanuelle II (Maxwell, 2009). All these structures were set up using methods that reduced the impact of the buildings on the environment. Buildings constructed in the early 20 th century using s
Introduction Living in the era of globalisation implies that the firms have to prioritise their expansion strategies and view it as the core of their businesses. In this case, River Island, the company with its headquarters in the UK, considers Asian markets as potential targets for increasing the firm’s profits and international presence. Malaysia and Indonesia could be viewed as the beneficial sources for expansion, as they tend to have favourable economic conditions while experiencing continuous growth (Jones, 2015). Consequently, the primary goal of this paper is to determine the best option for the expansion while assessing the flow of FDIs, corruption rates, transaction exposure, trade barriers, tariffs, regulations, and corporate governance while conducting SWOT and OLI assessments. In the end, the conclusions are drawn to underline the rationale for the outcomes and highlight a strategy suitable for expansion in the clothing segment. Overview of the Company General Information River Island is one of the well-known brands with a high recognition in the fast-fashion industry with its headquarters in London ( River Island: About us , 2016). It currently offers an extended variety of clothing items while covering the target markets such as kids, youngsters, women, and men ( River Island: About us , 2016). Despite its initial focus on the UK market, the firm tends to have offices in different regions such as Europe, the Middle East, and Asia ( River Island: About us , 2016). The company focuses on the maximisation of its profits while highlighting the financial stability as its priority. Nonetheless, it tends to reduce its impact on the environment while using the sources of renewable energy ( River Island: Corporate social responsibility , 2016). In this instance, prioritising global expansion strategy will help the firm increase its profits and enlarge its geographical coverage while complying with its mission statement and underlying the gravity of social responsibility. The Need for Expansion Currently, the firm has the revenues of $1,382.969 ( Hoovers: River Island, 2016). Nevertheless, it is not a complete maximum that the company is able to re
The process of recruiting new employees has become very crucial in the contemporary world. This is applicable to both small and large organizations of any structure or size. Organizations are required to have effective methods of recruiting and retaining current positions of employees in an organization. This plays a significant role in determining the performance of an organization. Employment relations refer to the measures that are employed in an organization in order to facilitate good relationship between employees and employers. In other words, employment relations involve those activities that are geared towards the resolving and prevention of those problems that arise from the work of individual’s performance within an organization. It also entails the measures that are employed in promoting absorption of top performing workers within an organization. In the contemporary world, many organizations have realized the need of facilitating effective employment relations in its operations. The most competitive organizations are the ones that have managed to maintain effective employment relations in their operations. However, there is a major concern on whether these needs are taken into consideration bearing in mind that we are in the era where organized labor has significantly declined. In every organization, leaders must be armed with adequate advice on how they can improve the performance of its employees. In order to achieve this, the employer must consider the disciplinary actions as well as the regulatory requirements (Deery 1999). The employers are also required to consider the necessary procedures that should be applied while addressing employees’ needs within an organization. This will significantly contribute towards promoting a good relationship between employees and the employer. This plays a significant role in promoting the organizational goals. In an effort to promote good relationship between employees and the employers, employees should be provided with adequate information. Armed with adequate information, employees will be in a position to understand the organizational goals and policies. Such information will help employees to conduct themselves accordingly in order to meet these goals. For instance, employees will be informed on the procedures that employers are required to follow in promoting or repositioning them within an organization (Anton 2011). The employer also has a responsibility of providing employees with the necessary information that will enable them to correct their poor performance both in the work place and off the workplace (Locke, Kochan and Piore). Again, this will play a significant role in promoting good relationship between employees and employers. When employees are fully informed, they will for instance be ware of the required procedures that are acceptable in passing on their grievances. There are a number of reasons why every organization must promote effective employment relation. By maintaining good relationship between employers and employees, an organization is able to increase employees’ motivat
Introduction Criminal justice systems play a crucial role in various societies. They interpret and enforce laws in various jurisdictions to ensure that all citizens coexist peacefully. In the past, criminal justice systems were forced to rely on basic law enforcement tactics because most criminals were not well versed with sophisticated tactics. As a result, more criminal justice systems are relying on proactive techniques to deal with various law enforcement challenges within their jurisdictions (Peak, 2008, p. 67). Despite all these efforts, criminal justice professionals operate in a hostile environment due to low levels of public trust. In the past, rigid structural problems discouraged criminal justice systems from engaging with the public on various issues. However, current criminal justice departments have realized the benefits of working with various community stakeholders to attain positive outcomes in their operations. This essay analyses present and future crime trends to determine how they affect the operations of the criminal justice system. Current and Future Trends that Affect Criminal Justice System Many modern criminal justice systems have rigid structures which make it difficult for them to adapt to new changes. They have not been able to adapt their internal systems to deal with modern issues such as globalization, multiculturalism, technological developments, and changes in demographic compositions. However, many criminal justice agencies have not changed their recruiting practices to hire highly skilled professionals who can anticipate new crime trends (Peak, 2008, p. 71). Sophisticated crimes such as cyber fraud, smuggling, corporate crimes, drug trafficking, and money laundering are committed by intelligent criminals who know how to avoid detection. Therefore, the current situation requires criminal justice systems to push for the adoption of new laws to ensure their professionals adhere to higher standards of practice to enable them to discharge their duties more effectively. Many criminals exploit laxity and incompetence by criminal justice systems to commit various offenses because they know they can easily get away with their crimes (Peak, 2008, p. 77). Therefore, law enforcement agencies need to acquire high-quality surveillance systems that gather information about the operations of various criminals to find out specific activities that they engage in. Even though new laws have been introduced to combat serious crimes, law enforcement officers in some jurisdictions lack appropriate skills required to solve complex criminal acts. For instance, both junior and senior law enforcement officers need to acquire forensic and technological skills to make them more competent in their duties. They also need to undergo constant training programs to keep them more focused on their duties. Consequently, this approach will motivate them to achieve better outcomes in their responsib
It has been said that necessity is the mother of all inventions. In other words, scientists and inventors are driven by the need to solve a particular problem. It all begins with a desperate need that requires a complex and costly scientific pursuit. Consider the Wright Brothers and Thomas Alva Edison. These men invested heavily in scientific pursuits to solve a particular problem. The same thing can be said in the medical field when scientists are determined to find a cure for a disease that has affected a sizeable portion of the human population. In the case of Sickle Cell disease, scientists are constantly seeking for a cure. Sickle Cell disease (“SCD”) is an important medical issue because it affects approximately 5% of the world’s population (World Health Organization 1). The disease is caused by a gene that is linked to the production of mutant hemoglobin. A common expression of this problem is the Sickle Cell disease.
Operations management strategy Penang Mutiara Restaurant functions on the pillar of total quality management system. The hotel is proactive in safeguarding assets and resources, sustaining efficiency in operations, and ensuring completeness in the management strategies. These strategies support communicational culture, efficiency, and optimal resource use in it service delivery to customers. The business has incorporated a corporate disclosure and system of litigation variables which are connected at central point by strategic planning. Every operational decision revolves around quality assurance and creatively. Besides, the risk proportions are thoroughly verifies before informed decisions are made. This procedure is necessary in monitoring decision science, distribution of risk elements, and forecasting into future swings in the restaurant industry market (Slack, 2008). The decision makers in the establishment have rationalise the service delivery processes as a prerequisite for managing operational costs, rather than simply introducing cheap menus or food. Skills required in supporting business strategy plan are found in the hotel’s operation management model, which functions as an implementer and driver of business decisions. These variables are critical in ensuring organisational survival in the volatile market. The variables are connected at central point by strategic planning which encompasses costing, speed, quality, flexibility, and dependability to create a smooth continuous operation tracking model that operates like computer from one segment to another. As a result, most of the clients are frequent visitors who are attracted by these unique services (Slacks, 2008). Through setting of performance targets for the staff members, the professional hotel attendees always strive and work harder to satisfy the needs of ever growing demands from their customers. Besides, the topological structure of the hotel consists of communication and operations management system which help in determining efficient performance and optimal resource use. The continuum of increasing the value of quality in operation of the hotel’s human resources lies in constant training and motivation (Williams, 2007). Possible changes In order to avoid an imminent failure, it is vital for the operations management system at the Penang Mutiara Hotel to focus on a defined edge in balancing the labour and operation costs. Despite having this efficient operations management system, the hotel has not fully established a mechanism for monitoring progress at micro level and depends on macro auditing in decision making. Therefore, it is necessary to review certain element of the operations strategy. The hotel should introduce a micro auditing unit for internal decision making rather than depending on macro market environment (MacKay & McKiernan, 2009). Impact of quality, speed, flexibility, and cost Through implementation of the strategic operations management elements such as speed, cost, flexibility, and quality, the Penang Mutiara Hotel is set to immediately an
