Security is paramount to the stability of a nation and economic development. Taniguchi (2014) defines safety as “keeping oneself and others free from harm or danger” (p. 312). It is a fundamental principle that promotes urban development. Security influences the interactions between authorities, businesses, and citizens. There is no happiness and trust without safety. Security is significant to people as it enables them to enjoy a quality life. Moreover, it would be difficult for individuals to engage in productive activities in an insecure environment. One of the reasons why many people have invested in Abu Dhabi is the high level of security in the city. Investors are guaranteed of preservation of their assets and revenues. As per Savitch (2015), safety influences social life. A dangerous environment results in deaths and injuries that contribute to psychological distress in friends and families. It is difficult for families to raise children in an insecure neighborhood. Parents cannot allow kids to interact with their neighbors due to fear that they might be recruited into criminal gangs. Such a situation discourages socialization, resulting in families living in isolation. The economic development and prosperity of a city are pegged on security. Investors prefer operating in secure towns as they are assured of constant revenue generation. Safety has contributed to the economic development and prosperity of Abu Dhabi. Tourists are not afraid of visiting the city because they are assured of their security (Aisen & Veiga, 2013). The visitors that come to the town contribute to the rise in government revenue, which assists in the provision of social services. Chen and Fang (2013) state that safety has led to an increase in the number of multinational corporations that operate in Abu Dhabi. In return, the organizations have created employment opportunities for the locals, boosting their income. The government, society, and individuals must maintain security. The government hasduty to provide safety by investing in the state-of-the-art technology to facilitate investigation and apprehension of criminals. In Abu Dhabi, the government has installed security systems that enable law enforcement officers to track and arrest offenders (Myers et al., 2013). Nevertheless, there is the need to invest in a sophisticated anti-terrorism unit to avert potential terror attacks emanating from Islamic State and other terrorist groups. One of the mistakes that many people commit is relying on the law enforcement agencies for their safety. It is imperat
Introduction Mr. Joseph Dunn, the president of Dunn’s Ski Emporium, being in business for a long time and having achieved success, decided to acquire The Deli, run by George Atkins. To make this operation successful, Mr. Dunn developed a leadership plan, in which he considered all the significant aspects of his future leadership. Mr. Dunn emphasized his role as a social architect, stating that it is he, who is responsible for the creation and maintaining a certain kind of a working environment in the company. The view of Mr. Dunn is people-centric. He has also stated the mission and vision clearly and explained how to use managerial staff to strengthen the vision. This plan was presented to George Atkins and discussed with him. The Organization’s Purpose And Goals Dunn’s Ski Emporium needs to make a clear statement of its purpose and goals. Rather than being a personal opinion of Dunn, the statement presents a composed view of him and his team. The main goal of the company is to deliver high-quality services to its customers. An essential step to quality is the motivation of the employees, especially the new ones from The Deli. The organization strives to make its employees reach a greater level of commitment and motivation since, as Dunn believes, it is the only way to enhance the labor productivity and to survive in the conditions of a harsh business competition. To make the staff more motivated, it is also important that managers be able to establish clear and achievable goals that are consistent with the abilities and talents of each particular employee. Working out an individual approach to the employees is one of the main goals of the organization. Apart from that, as a leader, Joseph Dunn needs to develop a just and understandable reward system to boost motivation. Vision and Mission Working out vision and mission statements is a serious step in making a company successful. According to Mr. Dunn and his team, the mission of the organization is to maintain the highest quality of services provided to the clients, to provide the hires with a friendly and productive working environment, where high motivation is encouraged and rewarded, and the managers are presenting real achievable tasks. The vision of the company is to be an organization that is widely known both for the qualities of the services it produces and for its achievement in the field of human resources. Dunn’s Ski Emporium needs to be a name, which immediately appears in a person’s mind when they are looking either for services or a job. Dunn and his team aim to deliver the vision to all of the employees so that they understand what is the aim, for which they need to work. To strengthen the vision, Mr. Dunn and the team need to enforce the role of the managerial staff, giving it more challenging ta
The article by Seyedin et al. (2019), titled “Intervention strategies for improvement of disasters risk perception: Family-centered approach,” discusses the various factors that affect disaster risk perception, including personal, psychological, socioeconomic, and cultural factors. Among cultural factors, what stood out to me was the mention of the so-called “protective spirit,” which is a motive found in many religions, ranging from tribal and local beliefs to larger confessions, such as Christianity or Islam. The idea usually revolves around a protective place, symbol, relic, or practice that would ward off potential and existing disasters. The article states that the effects of religion and the concept of the “protective spirit” have a two-fold effect on the perception and response to the disaster (Seyedin et al., 2019). On the one hand, reassurances of divine protection reduce stress and panic levels, allowing for a more rational assessment of the situation (Seyedin et al., 2019). On the other hand, it may also push the populations into a false sense of security, preferring to stay at the protected place instead of evacuating (Seyedin et al., 2019). The article’s conclusions state that the influence of cultural phenomena requires additional study in the scope disaster risk perceptions in families. In connection to the recent health disaster, which is the epidemic of COVID-19, the cultural idea of “protective spirits” have a negative, rather than a positive impact. The disease spreads in crowds and closed spaces, such as chu
Background and charges Andres Yates who was born in Houston on the 2 nd of July 1964 studied and graduated in 1982 from Milby High School. She was an official in the National Honor Society and a captain of the swimming team. She attended a pre-nursing program for two years at Houston University and had her official graduation from the school of nursing from the University of Texas in 1986. Between 1986 and 1994, she was a registered nurse and worked at the University of Texas in Anderson Cancer Center. Andrea Yates met her husband at the age of 25 in Houston at their complex apartment. They got married in 1993 on the 17 th day of April. The couple spent most of their lifetime in prayers and religious work. Andrea had five kids within their first 8 years of marriage; she had a girl and four boys. Her second pregnancy forced her to stop swimming and jogging and some of her friends mentioned that she was becoming reclusive. Andrea’s living conditions became worse when she gave birth to Luke, her second last born. Her insanity surfaced, this made Andrea witness hallucinations and failed therapy that was accorded to her by her doctors. Several charges against her rose eventually due to this psychotic nature, she was found guilty of capital murder, she also tried to commit suicide by putting a sharp knife on her neck and pleading to be left alone to die and in many instances refused to feed her children. Special needs offender categories Andrea Yates had various special needs offender categories; she actually needed counseling which she got most of it from the Methodist Hospital. Andrea also needed psychiatrist attention and psychotic therapy; she was admitted and treated at the Methodist Hospital where she was diagnosed with a depressive disorder. Andrea was warned against having more kids as that would increase her risk of showing several psychotic behaviors, she was treated with the antipsychotic drug when she was hospitalized again which improved her condition. Problems that made Andrea an offender In my opinion, Andrea Yates had problems that might have led her to being an offender, the pregnancy and the number of children she had within the few years of marriage was a major cause. Taking care and feeding children can be a challenge to most mothers especially where they are many and food is also not available. Another problem was the living conditions that Andrea had; she only lived on a bus which primarily led to her first psychotic behavior episode. In fact, she saw staying on a bus as her source of failure. In the article, we are informed that when Rusty bought a home in a nice neighborhood, Andrea’s condition improved, which was an indication that she needed a home. The best course of treatment According to the living conditions that Andrea had, she became psychotic. This needed an effective course o
Sure Thing by David Ives is a specific play which consists of one scene, two characters and one particular setting. Either reading or watching this play, each one understands that he/she looks like one of the characters. People are created in such a way that they often refuse the opportunities offered by the destiny. Constant search for love makes people look for something better without noticing that they have a good person close to them. Sure Thing is a play which shows such relationships, how people meet each other and without even having a try they refuse to deal with each other, however, a magic bell exists which helps these people look differently at each other, the bell gives them another chance. Living in the modern world, people do not have another chance, they are unable to back time and to consider the situation from another angle. Searching for love is a complicated affair. People spend years on finding their love, however, sometimes they are unable to do it just because they do not make an attempt. I am sure that if people were directed, that if they were given another chance they would use it. Two characters in the play Sure Thing Bill and Betty meet in a café. It is impossible to say whether their meeting was intentional or not, but somebody wanted them to be together and to help them do it, a magic bell rang each time when the conversation was spoiled to give them an attempt to correct and paraphrase a question or a respond in order to help them to find common ground. The beginning of the scene is one of the greatest supporters of the argument. Betty does not want to give Bill even a chance, however, after numerous attempts he is offered an opportunity to sit down. The acquaintance has taken place, however, this is not the end. Having a desire to sit at the same table with Betty, Bill t
This way or another every piece of literary work reflects the society that the characters are destined to live in. One can hardly neglect the significance of the close interconnection between the characters and society. Various authors have in different ways revealed its essence with highlights made either on the way society influenced the characters or the way the characters shaped the society they live in. Both of these aspects of a complex interaction of characters and society are presented in Claude McKay’s Crazy Mary and Eric Walrond’s The Palm Porch. The current paper is concerned with the investigation of the linking personality – society by examples of the main characters of the two works cited above. The research is aimed at comparing Claude McKay’s character of Mary and Eric Walrond’s character of Miss Buckner. The comparison is expected to be made through the following perspectives:   * Comparison of the personalities of the two female characters;   * Comparison of the role that the societies where the characters lived in played in their lives;   * Comparison of the possible causes that made the characters do what they did;   * Comparison of the attitudes that the readers can form in relevance to the characters. In the long run, we expect to define what unites Mary and Miss Buckner and what makes them different. The comparison is also expected to identify the characters’ significance in the stories. Starting with a general comparison of the two characters we should say that McKay and Walrond choose a different mode of presenting their characters: if in the Crazy Mary the main character is shown in her development, in The Palm Porch Miss Buckner is depicted as a steady character with well-established views and life principles. Thus, in the first case the reader witnesses how Mary’s character changes under the influence of society, whereas in the second case he or she is welcome to form an opinion about the woman whose character had been formed during the sixty years of her life. Mary’s problem is introduced just as the story starts: Miss Mary startled the village for the first time in her strange life that day when she turned herself up and showed her naked self to them. Suddenly the villagers realized that after many years of harmless craziness something was perhaps dangerously wrong with Mary, but before they could do anything about it she settled the matter herself (McKay 192). In the case of the second story under consideration, the reader gets to know about the construction of the Panama Canal in terms of its causing “the gradual death and destruction of the frontier post.” (Walrond 134) Though McKay’s work starts directly with the main character’s story and Warland’s one with a description of the environment in which the main character lives, in both cases the reader understands at once that the characters’ destinies are influenced by the rules according to which their societies live. In Crazy Mary the reader can observe a drastic chang
Understanding of Extended Self Extended self may be considered to seem to be good. However, at some point, it may be regarded as a bad habit as individuals are at some point driven to purchase things they may not have budgeted for. The extended self is highly dependent on the individual using it, and the forms that create the extended self are not intentional and active. Possession as an Extended Self Introduced by James(1890), this idea has helped us understand the self. An individual possession as an extended self can be distinguished into two main categories. The self-as-object corresponds to “Me,” and the self-as-subject corresponds to “I.” The “Me” refers to knowing self as an object with experience, and the “I” refers to understanding the self as a subject of experience. Self as an object valid categories include physical objects and cultural artifacts. These are the perceptions, conceptions, beliefs, and values one holds about oneself, whereas self as a subject is beliefs that determine what happens to individual achievements, what happens to an individual, and the ability to think about oneself. How Possessions Became an Extended Self This research interviewed three consumers. The first consumer said that electronic devices, especially a laptop and smartphones, have become part of his extended self. He added that those devices were so much into him that he could not go for an hour without using them or particularly one of them. He acknowledged that not using them for up to a day hour makes him stressed and worried. In addition, he added that this concept makes him buy a new device available in the market without even planning. The second consumer acknowledged that clothing, particularly Adidas designs, has become part of him. The respondent acknowledged that these designer clothes being part of her extended self, make her purchase new designs available in the market without even planning. In addition, she added that she is willing to borrow money from any financial
Improper management and decision-making by Enron led to great problems. Because of this, it is particularly necessary to study the fundamental principles of company management. They emphasize three most important aspect such as the planning, organization, and control of activities. Based on this information, management planning is a valuable part of the functioning of the organization. However, it may change the fact that not all changes and decisions of the company can be met without resistance from employees. Another performance indicator is the relationship between management’s performance and employees’ perception and organization. This aspect plays a unique role for the organization since good employee relationships and diversity in the workplace are critical for making the most profit. Communication and various barriers associated with multiculturalism can affect the inability to increase the performance indicators of employees. This may manifest itself in the impossibility of adequate and correct communication of people among themselves, which requires the introduction of special measures to unite the team. Among them, the first may be the creation of a favorable atmosphere in the workplace (Lan et al., 2020). This measure implies the introduction of various team-building practices and the division of work tasks between groups. Management Plan Recommendations First of all, it should be emphasized that with the help of the fundamental principles of management, the company can not only improve its key performance indicators and profits but also gain a leading position in the market. In addition, it will help in
Introduction The first half of the XX century was a critical period issuing the nations and their leaders new and more profound challenges. For Canada, as the World Wars have come into public attention focus, handling the country’s inner processes and its relations with the world has become a crucial matter. The two remarkable Canadians, Sir Robert Borden and W. L. M. King, have achieved significant results in terms of managing the country in military situations both on a domestic and international level. Robert Borden’s domestic policy During Sir Robert Borden’s administration term, Canada was involved in World War I. On the field of his domestic policy, Sir Borden insisted that the War Measures Act of 1914 should be brought into force, thus remodeling the governmental establishment into a war-time institution. This led to the Conscription Crisis of 1917 and fractioned the country in terms of language. The War and the post-War period in Canada were not peacetimes: the unprecedented Winnipeg strike out broke due to inflation and unemployment and had to be put down, which is what Sir Borden did (Francis and Smith 289). Another factor of Borden’s domestic policy was handling the issue of women’s rights in relation to equal suffrage; a bill granting women the right to vote was introduced in 1918, immediately after the war was over. W. L. M. King’s domestic policy In his turn, as far as conscription is concerned, W. L. M. King had to face the second Conscription Crisis as well. King faced the challenge of restricting the conscription for home defense only. Still, the deliberations concerning the matter had a heavy impact on King; in his diary, he wrote: I mentioned to St. Laurent… how very difficult it was for me all alone at Laurier House with no one to talk to and by myself to face over too long a period the kind of situation I am faced with today. He was very helpful. (Neatby par. 87) As to women’s rights, following his predecessor and promoting his ideas, King made another important step, that is the appointment of Cairine Wilson as the Senator. She was the first female holding such an appointment. Robert Borden’s international affairs In his internation
Introduction The United Kingdom’s government policies promote the development of higher education. The government advocates for the increment of the catchment population for higher education and growth of proportions of labour market entrants with degrees. Government policies may lead to the increase in the supply of graduate labour. The media and society in the UK continue to castigate the government over several employment policies. Education analysts underscore a mismatch between higher education graduates and the labour market in the UK (Harvey, 2011). The mismatch leads to scepticism over the reliability of government investment in higher education (Varghese, 2008). Analysis of the graduate labour market Many research studies do not reveal the value of knowledge and skills of university graduates in the labour market. Literature reviews fail to reveal how employers make use of the wide pool of resources available to them. Indicators disregard the effect of the expansion of higher education on the status of employment prospects in the labour market (Parey and Waldinger, 2011). Research reveals a decline in employment opportunities in UK’s leading firms. In 2011, statistics indicated an increment of the employers’ graduate recruitment by about 2.8% and 12.6% in 2010. This aspect happened in the aftermath of the 17.8% falls in 2009 and about 6.7% in 2008.
