Introduction The current age has seen an acute upsurge in the value placed on the beauty of women; where the stigmatization, low esteem, and shame associated with being bad looking among women is leading to high instances of plastic surgery, and the use of cosmetics. However contrary to these 20th-century views; it should be noted that the beauty of a woman should not be based on the outward look and sexual attractiveness; but on the ability of a woman to use her intellect, initiative, and dignity to radiate an attractive personal quality. It should further be noted that this emphasis on women’s attractiveness is forcing women on plastic surgery and cosmetics; where the younger ones desire to look older and more attractive; while the older ones seek to disguise the flaws of age and maintain a youthful look. Part of these efforts to improve their appearance is geared towards getting preference on professional grounds; attracting women; and improving their hurt senses of identity. The media is also another contributing factor to this phenomenon; where advertising and televising portray an ideal woman as being slim, highly shaped, with a well-curved waistline and hips; enforcing the erratic view of women and beauty (Brooks et.al. 23-26). Discussion Society has indeed placed so much emphasis on the physical appearance of women and girls; where this phenomenon can be justified through the high instance of weight loss programs, self-fashioned eating disorders in the pursuit of desired body shapes and beauty. Other indicators of this phenomenon are the high instances of cosmetic surgery and the use of cosmetics; which are associated with the pursuit of correcting or improving the looks of body parts, the victims consider not good looking enough. Another factor fueling this perspective is the selection of personnel especially customer attendance staff; based on their looks and the picture portrayed by the media, of an ideal woman (Wagner 14-45). In the poem ‘phenomenal woman’ by Maya Angelou; the stereotypical notion of beauty is battled through the use of what she refers to as the wit of the woman; and the pride in who she is, and not what every other person wants her to be. Other ways she portrays
Reducing the death toll, bodily harm, and destruction from natural or man-made hazards requires greater public awareness. Residents must be conscious of potential disasters and immediate responses to earthquakes, storms, floods, wildfires, or anthrophonic threats, for example, industrial explosions. Equally important is the first responders’ awareness of hazard-mitigation strategies and pre-disaster plans. Empowered public officials would have a higher level of preparedness and response to help reduce the long-term risk of disasters to people and property. The purpose of this training program is to enhance the hazard risk awareness of various stakeholders to support organization-level disaster mitigation strategies or policy actions. Implicit in hazard risk reduction are coordination, cooperation, and information exchange among actors during emergencies. Target Audience The engagement of agencies will be required to enable them to lead hazard mitigation (HM) activities in their jurisdictions. The authorities will conduct public awareness and outreach programs to reduce disaster threats based on the local understanding of risks and vulnerabilities (Mische & Wilkerson, 2016). The target audience for the training comprises three categories. The first group is the federal, state, and local government officials involved in developing HM plans to determine potential threats and vulnerable communities and create sustained strategies for protecting life and property (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2019). The second group is emergency management professionals and first responders. Examples may include county firefighters, Red Cross personnel, and paramedics. The last category comprises hazard mitigation planners in the community who serve as a liaison for different professionals engaged in disaster risk reduction. The rationale for involving various technical disciplines and authorities is to foster coordinated interagency responses and partnerships for increased awareness and utilization of local mitigation capabilities. Issues to be addressed The training will ultimately lead to improved local capabilities to detect, assess, and mitigate the impact of hazards on residents. The participants will be guided through the steps of the HM planning process. In this view, the issues to be addressed by the training will include the four components of HM planning: “risk assessment, capability evaluation, mitigation strategy, and plan maintenance procedures” (Levin, Berliner, & Merdjanoff, 2014, p. 80). First, the participants will be trained on the identification and analysis of probable natural and man-made disasters in their county. The training will focus on the collection and review of relevant data to aid in risk assessment. Cooperation among federal, state, and local agencies is critical. For example, hurricane mitigation would require effective collaboration among emergency management professionals, county law enforcement, firefighters, hospita
History In 1962, Dave Wildman founded the Wildman’s chain of fitness centers by acquiring ailing and financially struggling gyms. The growth strategy of the fitness center included an aggressive growth that saw the acquisition of dozens of brands even though their financial performance was weak then. Wildman’s chain was later acquired by Bally Manufacturing, a gambling equipment company, in part of a diversification program in the early 1990’s. The gambling equipment company spun off its health club division in 1996, branding it Bally Total Fitness (Wells and Raabe 8). Bally Total Fitness CEO, Lee Hillman, rationalized the fitness center’s brand by selling off uneconomical outlets in a bid to bolster performance and improve profitability. In all outlets, nineteen clubs were divested between 1996 and 1997. In later years of 1900s, Bally Total Fitness, under the stewardship of CEO Lee Hillman, went on an expansion program that saw the company acquire fitness and sport centers across North America, which left the company with significant debt levels. The growth program also added onto the list Bally Fitness Center’s product offerings, which contributed considerably into the company’s revenues. However, trouble for Bally Total Fitness began with disgruntled customers claiming that the company’s 36-month commitment contract for its members was unfair. Other customers complained that the company did not honor cancellation requests, and that the company also practiced unethical fee collection methods such as charging customer credit or bank accounts for fees without authorization. As a result, the Federal Commission of Trade fined the company $120,000 in civil penalties. The company’s accounting methods were also questioned by the SEC. SWOT Analysis Presently, social trends in the United States are used to envisage what may give details of the future in US. An assessment of the present social trends and an impression of demographic changes give a forecast of the “strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats” that countenance of the existence of relaxation, pastime and fitness firms, like Bally Fitness Center for the prospects put-forth. Strengths Bally Total Fitness has strategically distributed its outlets acros
Introduction Helping adolescents suffering from problems with drug addiction is an urgent problem of the modern healthcare sector since the number of teenagers experiencing this issue is significant. In the medical community of Union City, NJ (zip code 07087), there are special resources designed to help people overcome their difficult situations and return to normal life. Working with young people is associated with challenges, for instance, teenagers’ failure to accept their problems or unwillingness to trust medical specialists. However, based on the review of medical resources in Union City, skilled care for drug-addicted adolescents can be provided, and accessibility is one of the key strengths of this assistance. Available Resources In the medical community in question, there are several resources that can help deal with the problem of adolescent addiction. Not only clinics but also individual specialists provide their services, and such assistance is qualified and professional. In Union City itself, there are no narrowly focused clinics; nevertheless, nearby, there are medical centers that also help the residents of the community under consideration. As a few examples of available resources, the following can be cited: Resource                         Location                            Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Hudson Psychiatric Associates, LLC                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Bhavin Gajera                    79 Hudson St                        Dr. Gajera is the specialist workin
Introduction Supply chain management (SCM) entails adding value to a product or service through integration of activities related to making of the product or service. A relevant definition of SCM covers the integration of business processes in a bid to ensure that products and services conform to customers’ orders (Handfield and Nichols Jr 5). In this regard, understanding of the making process of the organisation’s product and other essential processes is critical for SCM. Production and distribution of goods are positioned either at upstream or downstream of the company’s supply chain. In addition, SCM is integral in ensuring that the organisation’s focus on customers’ satisfaction is fulfilled with utmost convenience. SCM is important for streamlining the cost of production and ensuring that information flow between business processes is efficient. Manufacturing organisations are known for using SCM to guarantee the inventory cost is reduced through demand projection and effective production scheduling. On the other hand, management information system (MIS) is a broad term used to describe a computer-oriented system that manages the flow of information within an organisation (Haigh 19). MIS exists in the form of software and is the recent development in information management. MIS has become an integral component in decision-making processes since it uses computerised applications that manage and control projects, resources and data on managers’ behalf. Supply chain management information An effective SCM must consist of essential aspects that will facilitate its integration with MIS. In this regard, information and analytical tools used by the organisation must be considered. In addition, algorithms and other methodologies should take the factors for an information system (IS) into account together with other information including techniques, methods, or procedures. The mentioned data should be related to integral activities or aspects of the electronic manufacturing company. These aspects cover inventory, transportation, price, production cost, suppliers and customers. Fig 1.0 Organization aspects and SCM interfaces. SCM major processes The electronic manufacturing company’s SCM major processes comprise the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) in charge of supply and design collaboration processes. It should also be stated that strategic planning is an integral activity for the Internal Supply Chain Management (ISCM). Other activities from the same process are demand planning and field services. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) processes entail sales and marketing, order processing, and customer services (Lambert 28). All the above processes are to be integrated to form a comprehensive Supply Chain Management Information System (SCMIS) that should be easy to use among the organisation functions, and its performance should be reliable, cost-efficient, and adaptable. Implementing SCMIS using an Agile System Development and ARIS framework The Agile System Development is important for creating a SCMIS that is dynamic an
Reformatting a disk is a form of high-level formatting which is normally carried out on a functioning hard drive. The major reason as to why the formatting is done is in order to free the contents of the disk so that it can be used for other data. Each operating system has its own reformatting methods. The reason for this difference is that whatever is done to existing data in one OS is different from the data in other operating systems. Once a disk has been reformatted, the implication is that all the other programs have to be installed again. In order to carry out the formatting process properly, one will have to take notes on some of the common terms that one is most likely to come across. It is essential that the instructions should be clear even to the people who do not specialize in information technology and software. Hence, the following issues need further clarification:   * Operating system (OS): the key program that allows for using a computer.   * Hard disk drive: a magnetic disk for data storage.   * Soft disk drive (floppy disk): a disk for data storage that is not attached to the computer.   * Formatting: preparing the disk for reading and writing.   * Storage medium: the tool that allows accumulating data and keeping it.   * Sector: the smallest unit of a hard disk drive.   * Address: the information that indicates the location of data.   * Windows product key: the set of symbols that allows for activating the Windows OS.   * F8: the keyboard key that starts the safe mode in Windows 7/8.   * Safe mode: the option for booting the Windows OS that is enabled in order to carry out troubleshooting and boots the system in a limited state.   * F10: the keyboard key that allows viewing the boot menu.   * Driver: the software that is used for allowing the OS to coexist and cooperate with different types of software installed on the computer.   * Backup: the process of copying and securing computer data for its further restoration in case of formatting or a system crash.   * Clonezilla: a disk cloning program.   * Disk cloning: copying the disk data onto a soft disk drive for further data restoration.   * Virus: a malicious program that destroys information, encrypts it, transfers the user’s data to the third party, etc. There are a number of reasons why a disk can be reformatted. Among them includes; security compromise of a computer, malfunctioning due to a virus, when the disk is too full, and when the computer becomes too slow. Reformatting can also be done when one wants to add more partitions on the disk (Liu 309).  1. Determi
Monopoly is an economics term, used to mean an organisations operation in a certain sector as a sole producer; the singlehood in production makes the firm have control over a particular product or service. Sometimes the product produced may be for the public or may be a business with an advantage that gives it superiority. One way that monopolies diversify their operation is through mergers; after a merger, there is an effect to the firm and the public (Sweezy, 2004). This paper discusses the effects of monopolies mergers; it will argue from the firms and consumers perspective. Importance of competition among firms Competition among firms keeps the firm on its toes as it tries to enter and remain competitive in the market. To win persuade a consumer buy a company’s products and probably win their loyalty, a company’s products need to stand out in the market. to stand out, then a company need to develop efficient processes and develop its products with time. Competition thus assists a company to:   * Devise, develop, and implement market responsive strategies   * To utilize resources effectively   * To gauge its level of competitiveness and probably develop strategies to increase competitiveness   * It creates the urge and drive to innovate and invent processes and products   * It improves customers care service that may in turn lead to customer loyalty. Competitive environment and the society When firms are competitive, the society stands to benefit however; some level of competitiveness injure consumers. The major benefits that societies stand to benefit are:   * Increased choice of products in the market   * Competitive prices   * Efficient utilization of resources   * High quality products as firms come-up with different combinations to win their favour At very high competition, customers suffer from:   * Chances of low quality products as firms compete for the market, they may tamper with quality of the prod
Introduction Social welfare provisions are programs that seek to provide minimum level of service, income or other support services for the groups that are marginalized such as the elderly, poor and disabled people. They are undertaken by both non-governmental organizations as well the government agencies. Social welfare programs which include welfare payments and services are undertaken at the expense of taxpayers and they are funded by benefactors or enrolment of the poor compulsorily. Examples of welfare programs include in-kind transfers such as health care services or even cash inform of earned income tax credit. (Gregory, 2003) More examples of social welfare programs or services include the following: compulsory insurance programs that are based on income aimed at paying the social welfare service provided. In many cases this type of welfare service is incorporated in the taxation system and it is hard to separate it from the income tax. Another example of welfare program is the compulsory savings program that every person earning income must be part of. Main body Financial aid and pensions which encompass tax relief and social security are also other examples of social welfare programs that are directed to those who have low inco
Introduction Communication with people is a process through which human relationships are realized and an essential component that makes up almost the entire human life. Nevertheless, communication is not just a conversation of people, but a whole communication system consisting of communication sides, their mutual influence, ethics, communication techniques, and other components. When the process of communication is closely related to work and directly depends on it, then a person must possess specific communication techniques with clients. In this case, it is essential to know the communication methods and be guided by specific rules and ethics. Moral Foundations After reviewing the questionnaire called Moral Foundations, I received the following results. Harm/Care: 22, Fairness/Reciprocity: 22, In-Group/Loyalty: 11, Authority/Respect: 20, Purity/Sanctity: 16 (Hook et al., 2017). The questionnaire results seem to me to be correct since they quite accurately determine my worldview and attitude to life and the people around me. Also, they describe my standards and understanding of right and wrong quite closely. When I think about my values and moral principles system, I can quite apply this model as a basis. This questionnaire contains all the necessary components: care, honesty, fairness, authority, and purity (Hook et al., 2017). However, this questionnaire is not perfect, so I would suggest making some changes to it even more effective. For example, it would be helpful to add several items to this questionnaire to reveal the level of professional and educational motivation. Moreover, I would provide this questionnaire with several questions that would characterize the current emotional state of the respondent. Based on the results of this questionnaire, it is likely that rude and impatient customers will cause me the most severe problems. I lack self-confidence and firmness, which can be used by more authoritarian or even impulsive people who like to insist on their own. I need to cultivate greater firmness and fortitude of character to cope with any professional tasks effectively. A real professional needs to constantly develop and improve his communication skills. It will also probably be difficult for me to work in a team, so it is much more comfortable to work alone. Value Differences There are various causes of conflicts in the field of human services. They include socio-psychological reasons when there is no balance in the performance of their roles and personal reasons that arise due to character traits. I consider the following to be the most dangerous potential conflicts that can happen to me at work. Firstly, I believe a conflict based on inequality and gender stereotypes to be a dangerous type of conflict. Often people do not pay attention to a person’s skills, taking into account gender. Secondly, some people have stereotypes about appearance when they are biased against a person who lo
Should W-S have added the new line? On the whole, it might have been possible for W-S to eliminate idle capacity by restructuring the process of manufacturing, rather than by adding a new product line, for which there already was competition in the market. Also, it may have been an option to add a different product line, for which there was not such strong competition in the market. However, if that could not have been done, then it is probable that adding the new product line of sports suits and coats for boys was an optimal solution to the problem, and the W-S should have added the new line. Evaluate the companys approach to structuring the product line It might be stated that the approach of the company to structuring the product line is rather effective. Using the same brand name for most of its products, and utilizing only two brand names on the whole, permitted the customers to easily recognize the manufacturer and purchase their products, therefore helping with keeping the customer’s loyalty. The general approach of selling the apparel via the salespersons has proven reliable over the long term, and allowed for effectual spending of money on the purposes of marketing and advertisement. Assuming that the company adds the new line, what should be the overall marketing strategy? When it comes to the marketing strategy of the company for the new line of products, it is apparent that these products ought to be marketed by tying them to the already existing products and brands of the business. This should permit the customers to recognize the new line of products as manufactured by W-S, therefore tapping into the loyalty of the clients who are already committed to W-S. Simultaneously, it might be a viable decision to make an attempt to sell these products at lower prices, for the clients purchasing apparel for children are stated to be price conscious quite frequently.
