Introduction Since the early XX century, the topic of gender and profession has been an urgent problem for discussions by the public. The profession of a physical therapist is one of the most socially essential occupations all over the world, and women play an important role in its development. The aim of this essay is to discuss the profession of physical therapist explaining the role of women in this field. The Role of Women in the Profession “Physical therapy in the United States was originally an occupation composed almost entirely of women; the field currently remains about 75% female” (Raz et al., 1991, p.530). It is interesting to note that the relationship was observed between the sphere of activity and gender occupations. In particular, it was found that women are more occupied in the services sphere, whereas the sphere of production, especially requiring the specific technical knowledge and skills, employs mainly the men. Answering the question why women want to be occupied in the physical therapy, it should be said that it represents a kind of job which reflects the main functions of a woman in the family, namely, the role of paying attention to every family member and taking care for family well-being. At the time when women gained equal opportunities with men for being employed, their functions shifted from the level of family to the level of society as a whole to some extent. That is why the medical profession and physical therapy, in particular, became one of the favorite occupations for women. The previous research
Executive Summary A trend in employment can be seen among several of the foreign brands that have entered into Dubai as of late, wherein younger employees have been chosen over their older counterparts. Stores such as Apple, Virgin, and Levi’s seem to hire individuals that are between 21 to 27 years of age. This particular trend in employment is apparently due to the desire of the brands to better relate to their respective consumer niches by presenting a facade that is more relatable, namely individuals that have the same interests as them and are more physically familiar. However, it should be noted that there is a considerable level of employee dissatisfaction at work when it comes to the various workers found at the Virgin Megastore in Dubai. Introduction Virgin Megastores focus on a business model that utilizes a large store format to sell a variety of media-related items. It is similar to the concept utilized by RadioShack yet far more aesthetically pleasing. Despite the relatively pleasing work environments, it has been noted that the store had a relatively high level of employee “churn”. Churn rates refer to the number of employees that leave a company as compared to the amount that are hired. An ideal scenario would be relatively few people leaving the company since this ensures that experienced workers are there to maintain the standard of operations that the company needs. Reframe the Problem Taking this into consideration, an examination needs to be conducted in order to determine why so many employees are leaving. This problem could be due to a variety of possible reasons ranging from the work environment, the peer pressure, low salaries or an assortment of other possible reasons that could be potentially analyzed through observation. It is the assumption of this report that the age of the workers coupled with the way in which the store treats them creates a considerable degree of internal friction between the workers and managers which would cause the workers to leave. Collecting the Data Data collection for this report was done by visiting the Virgin Megastore and conducting a visual observation of the various habits and actions of the employees. Observations were done through infrequent visits to the store at no specific time with the researchers monitoring employees in different locations throughout the store. The following are the collection of insights that were gathered after the observations were conducted: Managers reprimanding employees for using their phone while working: one of the most commonly observed occurrences was the case of managers telling employees to stop using their phones at work despite the fact that there was little in the way of significant foot traffic in the store. It was observed that employees sometimes received a text message or an alert from Facebook or Twitter (could not tell the
Introduction The civilization and ethnicity of China is the base of one of the worlds ancient and most composite civilizations, the country proudly possesses a history abounding in more than five thousand years of political, philosophical, artistic and scientific progression. The history of science and technology in China dates behind first millennium BC is technological contribution of this country to the development of the society and mankind has both a long and rich history. Thus, it is important for the rest of the world to understand the basic aspects of the cultural side of China. Sports and Recreation Physical fitness and exercise is very common in China. People, specially the elderly, gather at parks to practice qigong and Tai Chi Chuan. Acrobatics became very popular after the China Acrobatic Troupe was formed in 1950. China’s traditional and indigenous form of sports includes martial arts and dragon boat racing. The former originated almost 2000 years ago and the latter takes place during their Duan Wu festival. Board games like, Xiangqi, Chinese chess, Go, or Weiqi and International Chess are also popular. A number of imported sports are also played in China, like badminton, weightlifting, diving, basketball, shooting, judo, football or soccer, table tennis, baseball and golf and the young Chinese people have excelled in each of them.

Industry After the New China was formed in 1949, the construction of the Chinese industry was started on a large scale. Throughout its industrial reform, China’s industry managed to eliminate its backwardness becoming technologically advanced. Today, china produces a number of things and its industry is more advanced than most of its neighboring nations. China’s astronautics and aeronautics industry was formed at Chengdu, Shenyang, Shanghai and Xi’an having huge airplane manufacturing bases that also produce military and civilian aircrafts. It also has a very advanced electronic information industry, heavy industry that includes chemical, machinery, iron, steel, energy industries, textiles, and light industries that include household appliances, metal products, household chemicals, electro-optical sources, plastic products, mechanical devices, fur and leathers.

Marketing and promotional mix determination is an integral part of the branding and brand promotion initiative of a company. based on such assertions, Al Fresco too underwent a crucial decision making process of choosing the right promotional campaign that would be appropriate for the strategic initiative of the company as well as fit the advertising budget of the company. Al Fresco has a limited marketing budget of $185,000 for 2006 and decision has to be made as to which is the right method of communicating to the right target customer at the lowest possible cost. The paper describes what were the contexts that were constraint to make a logical choice, the mathematics involved in the decision making process, and the intuitive reasoning behind the final choice. The marketing campaigns that are being opted as options for the campaign of 2006 are buzz campaign, trade advertisement, price-oriented promotions, magazine advertisement, and status quo. The first option was buzz campaign that was used in the previous year but provided unexpected results for the supermarkets. The campaign that was earlier used by the company was buzz campaign that would cost the company approximately $73,000. It is believed by the marketing team of Al Fresco that using this campaign will effectively increase the sales by $95,760 on a pessimistic level and $119,700 optimistically. However, buzz campaign if used in 2006, will cover areas that were not campaigned in the previous year. However, on other side of this campaign is that the sales executives of the company were apprehensive regarding the reaction of the supermarket buyers who were not happy with the untraditional market campaign and felt that it did not help in long-term brand building. The second campaign alternative with Al Fresco was trade advertisements, which would cost around $80,000 to the company. In this the target were shifted to the supermarket executives and buyers. It could make an impact on food retailing decision makers by telling them about the brand’s sales and profit potential. Targeting the supermarket executives would help the company increase its shelf space as well as brand awareness. The only problem that the marketers faced in this respect is that Al Fresco was not actually a developed brand and therefore did not have much to offer as a brand. This promotion option has the virtue of gaining greater credibility from the supermarket executives. The third option is price-oriented promotion that has been a request from the sales force. This increases the attractiveness of the product for the price-oriented customers, and influences, to a great extent, the buying decision of supermarket purchasers. However, competitors use a more expensive option, this form of advertising campaign also. The fourth alternative is a less expensive magazine advertising campaign. In this Al Fresco can advertise its products in magazines like Better Homes and Gardens, Food and Wine , and/or Cooking Light . There are effectively three options – full page, half page, or quarter page colored advertisement. The demographics readers of these magazin
Discussion Domestication is a process where wild animals and plants are transformed in a genetic state to adjust to certain characteristics which benefit humans. In a simplest sense, it can be described as the early stage of human mastery of wild species of plants and animals. The basic difference between domesticated plants and animals from their counterpart wild species is that they are produced by human activities to attain particular characteristics and are adjusted to the conditions of constant care from initial transition to full transition. Certainly, wild animals must possess enough abilities to compete and survive in the wild and should often be on the watch for their predators. Wild animals should be fast and strong to safeguard themselves from their predators and must use their senses of touch, sight, and smell while searching for shelter, water, food, and to warn them from danger. While domestic animals do not require all these abilities and senses to search for food and protect themselves from danger since all they need are provided by humans. Wild animals live liberally and are not reliant on human support, while domesticated animals are reliant on human interference. Most wild animals are either afraid or hostile to humans since they consider humans as dangerous killers. The most significant outcome of domestication of animal species includes a rapid transformation in their seasonal biology. Most wild animals are distinguished by their precise seasonal reproduction and molting sequence, while most domesticated animals, in contrast, may reproduce themselves at any period or season of the year and may not molt at all. The main deference between the domesticated species and the wild species of animals and plan
Introduction When a person’s safety is threatened by the behavior of another such as bodily harm, sexual assault, mental and financial impairment, or causing fear, it amounts to abuse. Domestic violence is the abuse of individuals who are in close relationships such as spousal or engagement. The Peace and Protective Orders-Burden of Proof regulation in Maryland and the Violence against Women Act (VAWA) are some of the laws that have been created to deal with domestic violence. The rise in domestic abuse cases has led to the enactment of new laws to offer security and well-being to the aggrieved persons. Peace and Protective Orders- Burden of Proof This is a recent law in Maryland that was passed in 2014 to protect families against domestic abuse. It was meant to vary the amount of evidence available to the judge (from ‘clear and convincing’ to preponderance evidence) who would be making conclusions during peace and protective hearings. The judge is required to grant a final peace order hearing to the accused person who has been issued with a provisional order (Cattaneo, Grossmann, & Chapman, 2016). In the same law, the judge can grant the final peace order under some conditions such as when there is evidence that the accused has inflicted harm to the applicant or intends to do so in the future. The final protective order is granted for protection if the judge receives adequate evidence that abuse has taken place or the defendant acknowledges issuance of the temporary protective order. The statute realizes positive effects where liability to provide evidence is lessened, and those seeking protection and safety can easily access the courts’ intervention. The process of obtaining orders is easier since the evidence needed is of the same standard as in civil proceedings (Cattaneo et al., 2016). Safety and protection are accorded to the abused parties through the peace and protective orders issued, and that prohibit contact, causing distress, and nuisance. The law guarantees a less taxing process to individuals seeking a divorce when ascertaining their case if it is based on domestic abuse where they only give evidence that they have suffered harm other than clear and confirming proof. According to the prosecutor, two men were facing charges of causing death to a New Windsor woman by stifling and cutting her throat and throwing away her body. Bret Michael Wheeler and Robert Theodore Bosley were said to have planned to kill Kandi Gerber; an act they executed maliciously and inhumanly. The judge ordere
Plato believed that human self has two constituent parts: the intellectual soul, which hankers for knowledge and enlightenment and the beast, which is driven only by the desire. According to him, our task is to hold this beast in leash. The soul (mind) must always prevail upon the beast (body). To some extent, his beliefs remind Buddhist philosophy, arguing that the source of our sufferings is the desire. Platos theory finds reflection in works of many other philosophers (Plato, p. 122). Platos pupil, Aristotle modified his theory. According to him, a human being is the combination of three animals (conjugal, political, and mimetic). The conjugal animal is the part of a human being, which hankers for coupling. The “political animal” represents the desire of a human being to form communities. As regards, the “mimetic animal” Plato means that we are inclined to imitate and create. Aristotle explored this issue mostly within the context of political science(Aristotle, 300). If we speak about Platos approach we have to answer the question, how it is possible to conquer this “beast” in other words desire. Aristotles theory seems to be very prudent, but what are the relationships between these parts of “human self” Rene Descartes was convinced that “human self” has dual nature, mind, and body. To a certain degree, it reminds Platos point of view. In his opinion, these are two separate notions. Soul (mind) is immortal, whereas body is temporal. It stands to reasons that body is subservient to mind which embodies intellect, intelligence, reason, whereas body mostly represents emotion (Descartes, p. 55). Descartes believed that a human being must conquer emotions. However, some controversy arises in connection with this idea, for example, should we really set aside our emotions, because they actually make us alive. Hume viewed human being as a creature that trying to keep balance between different elements such as reason and desire. He also explored this issue as the conflict of mind and body. Mind represents reason whereas body represents desire. Although, his views are reminiscent of those ones of Plato, Hume believed that it is necessary to attain equilibrium between these two parts of human self (Hume, p. 211). The philosophical dilemma is how to do it, because in the overwhelming majority of cases, a human being is driven by the desire. Karl Marx did not pay
Protecting the environment is the act of taking care of natural resources and using them rationally to prevent annihilation and pollution. It also involves the use of comprehensive management measures that can create an environment that supports human activities and life. Protecting the environment creates sustainable development in an economy. An attractive, natural environment encourages both domestic, and international tourism and this create revenue for the country. Tourism also contributes to the economic growth of a nation as it leads to the creation of jobs for many people (Holden 177). Some people work as tour guides and agents while others work in food and accommodation sector. Protecting the environment also attracts many foreign investors into the country. Foreign investors invest their money and introduce industries in other nations, thus promoting economic growth (Goodstein 26). If a country has a terrible environment, investors will avoid making businesses there, and this reduces economic development in a country. Another way that protecting the environment creates sustainable development is through preservation of natural resources. Most development activities make use of natural resources, and if the environment lacks protection, such resources may become depleted, thus, making further developments impossible. Also, environmental protection causes sustainable development as governments cut the money spent on health-care costs. A good natural environment protects human beings from diseases like skin cancer, cataracts and other illnesses that arise due to environmental pollution. This, in turn, makes governments cut down on health costs. Protecting the environment enhances welfare of human beings. People suffer from health-related issues in areas where the environment gets stressed (Frumkin et al. 4). A harmful environment is accountable for almost a quarter of the worldwide disease problem. In emerging nations, use of incompetent wood-burning stoves to make food causes illnesses. A rising figure of cleaner and more competent stoves, which cut down both the amount of biomass that needs collection to fuel the stove and domestic airborne particulates, are becoming obtainable. Proper environmental management can lessen the risk of malaria through destroying mosquito habitats, breeding mosquitoes that are resistant to the malaria parasite as well as reducing populations of mosquitoes. This fact also relates with the concept of sustainable development as health is a vital element in sustainable development. Sick families cannot meet their daily needs, a mother with respiratory tract infections could be unable to take proper care of the family and a sick child is likely to miss school, or underperform in academics. Protecting the environment enhances continuity of life. The world has limited resources, and rapid consumption of these resources by humans has led to severe environmental degradation. Failure to protect the environment is a crime as it means that we do not care about future generations. Therefore, we must attach significance to protection of the environment so that we can give future generations a better liv
Inequalities in various aspects of social and economic life, and the question of overcoming them, are increasingly the subject of political decisions and the subject of academic research and papers. In addition to social justice and human rights values, they emphasize the importance of equal opportunity as a condition for social cohesion and social inclusion. This also applies to health inequalities, which have received considerable attention from the World Health Organization over the last decade. In this essay, I would like to discuss gender inequalities in health care, as it is an issue of personal interest to me. I do not like hearing how girls are not advised to go into medicine because it is a “serious men’s job” or people do not take nursing jobs seriously and think they are too easy. Various gender inequalities in healthcare area occur in all countries. Inequalities are caused not only by living conditions but also by socio-cultural factors (values, norms, stereotypes) that shape the position of both sexes in society and people’s thinking and behavior about health. Massive discrimination against women in the healthcare sector worsens the quality of care for people because of the deteriorating working conditions for this group of employees. This is because nurses and doctors who experience discrimination and unfair treatment are unable to provide appropriate care. This factor nullifies attempts to ensure the highest possible level of health for all people. I believe that society must stop discriminating against women in doctors’ posts and that the problem is severe enough to warrant a lot of media attention. In this way, society will ensure decent working conditions for women doctors and, hence, proper treatment for the population.
