The professional activities of staff working in the female community corrections area are largely related to the work with women representing a psychologically complex contingent with a negative sentiment to the administration, with aggressive incentives, and those resisting and countering the efforts of the staff (Alarid & del Carmen, 2012). In addition, in many cases, females tend to have a complex relationship with other residents. In this connection, the system of psychological assessment of women’s identity should not only help fix objectives but also respond to the challenges of security activities. In the course of working with women, there is a need to achieve lower total aggression and conflict levels; however, it is often accompanied by the increased internal hostility, decrease in the sense of guilt, the emergence of emotional dullness, decreased mental alertness, and increased intensity of frustration (Alarid & del Carmen, 2012). In order to evaluate this issue from different dimensions, it is necessary to analyze it from the point of view of both the females undergoing correctional activities and the professionals working with such women. Females and Correctional Facilities The article written by Cantora, Mellow, and Schlager (2014) indicated that there is a variety of non-programmatic factors influencing the successfulness of rehabilitation of women offenders as well as their further integration in the society. According to the authors, many factors should be considered to facilitate the effective community correction services such as “social relationships among clients; perceptions of safety and security; physical characteristics of the internal setting (e.g., sleeping accommodations, visitation area, and privacy); and the neighborhood where programs are situated” (Cantora et al., 2014, p.38). The authors argue that the study of the moral and psychological condition of the offenders (with respect to the interaction with other women, responsiveness to the employees of the correctional institution, the general conditions) and the use of psychological and educational programs to work with them are required. The remedial activities should be directed to the development of psychological and social stability; the work should be designed to maximize the psychological and social rehabilitation of women. One of the indicators of the success of this process will be expressed in the improved relations with inmates, more balanced mental state and a more active interaction with the environment (Cantora et al., 2014). However, it should be noted that the application of the accredited and non-accredited correctional programs for different categories of offenders should comply with the non-programmatic methods of interaction with the setting and environment due to the fact that the psychological techniques should be supported by the appropriate correctional programs. This approach implies the joint work of the primary a
Initiative Description The third initiative of the sustainable city project implies the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, which includes the development of both physical and mental health with the help of such practices as yoga, meditation, exercises in gyms (with cardio stimulation), and various field trips (Dam et al. 2017, p. 40). It is necessary to mention that a healthy and wise community is one of the most essential components of any modern sustainable city, which supports the proposed project’s objectives. The discussed initiative will reduce the rate of obese children in Dubai as they will have more resources and knowledge to maintain fit.                            * People’s mentality regarding their lifestyles will change                                                            SHORT TERM (quick wins)    * Parents will be more attentive to different health issues of their children                                                                     * The population of Dubai will become more responsible for its health                                                                             * The younger generation will become fit and healthy (Hussain 2015, p. 133)                                            MEDIUM TERM (10 years)     * The culture of a healthy lifestyle, physical exercises, and other similar activities will become popular in the city                            * People will become happier because of their healthy bodies and nutritious diets                                                                 * The longevity rate in Dubai will increase                                                                            LONG TERM (20 years)       * The rate of obese children will decrease                                                                                                        * There will be no need for health promotion as it will be regarded as something common.                                Contribution to Sustainable City As mentioned previously, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle makes Dubai a sustainable city because the practices of yoga, meditation, and other exercises make its younger generations fit and wise. Not only do active games make children healthier, but they also enrich their brains with oxygen, which makes them work faster, better, and longer. Moreover, the city will never face a demographic crisis if all the suggested actions will be popular among local citizens.

Technology, by its broadest meaning, has a very important role in today’s classrooms. The application of that technology, however, must be carefully and strategically implemented in order to be of meaningful value to both teachers and pupils. Throughout history, there have been various inventions of technologies, which have brought about revolutionary changes. Technology continually changes our world in outstanding ways, observable from the Sumerians’ invention of the first ever-documented writing system of cuneiform, the Egyptians’ invention of the papyrus, the comparatively more recent inventions of the printing press, television, computers, and the internet. Even the casual definition of the word technology has undergone various transformations over time. According to Noah Webster who is considered to have been among the founding fathers of education in America, technology stood for the “description of arts, or a treatise on the arts.” (Webster, 1828). Today, technology is defined as the practical application of knowledge, especially in a particular area (Cuban, 1998). In the educational setting, technology is referenced as “whatever the most advanced technologies are available for teaching and learning in a particular area.” (Pea, 1998). With this kind of understanding, one can then confidently assume that technology in the classroom today obviously includes the use of computers, digital media, and the Internet. Although the use of technology in schools has brought some significant improvements, we must ask some multifaceted questions regarding its use (Cuban, 1998). This paper seeks to discuss some of the ways in which television and other mass media has affected students, schools, and education in general. The paper will also seek to look at some of the pros and cons of using technologies in education. There is no doubt that the mass media plays a significant role in shaping the ideas of school age children. One area where the mass media has really influenced the education sector has been in the dissemination of information concerning gender violence. Although this is not directly linked with the school curriculum, there is no denying that it is an important subject even among students. Indeed, the relationship between gender and violence is complex. The different roles and behaviors of females and males, children as well as adults, are shaped and reinforced by gender norms within society and as expected, this are inherited at the early stages of life. This is the reason why those fighting against gender based violence work with schoolchildren before gender attitudes and behaviors are deeply rooted (Spring, 1982). In schools, media interventions such as the use of television, radio, Internet, newspapers, magazines and other published publications have been found to effect change within schoolchildren (Spring, 1982). These media tools have been found to increase knowledge, challenge attitudes and modify behavior. Media interventions have also been found to alter soc
Introduction The economic impact of bankruptcy and reorganization can be studied using capital structure. The main objective of studies, which use capital structure, is to analyze the gains or losses to the capital following reorganization. A number of studies that utilized capital structure data in order to evaluate whether reorganization created value has been documented. The majority of the studies show that the value of shareholders decreased following a reorganization. Harold (2001) found out that can be reorganized after reduced profits in the preceding periods. Brealey, Myers and Marcus (2007) stated that bankruptcy occurs when a company is unable to pay its short-term and long-term liabilities. While reorganization is a result of bankruptcy process that was initiated by a creditor. All creditors and stockholders, including dissenters, are bound by the organization plan (Harold, 1999). Harold (1999) stated that reorganization plan should be fair, equitable, and feasible. This means that all parties must be treated fairly and equitably and that the plan must be workable with respect to the earnings power and financial structure of the reorganized company as well as the ability of the company to obtain trade credit and, perhaps, short-term bank loans. Brealey, Myers and Marcus (2007) found that a company value for reorganization could be evaluated to using liquidity and capital structure. In the event that the company has failed to meet its legal obligations but there future opportunities look bright, reorganization becomes the best option. Whenever a debtor enters into a voluntary settlement resulting in the assignment of assets or the appointment of a trustee, the company has committed an act of bankruptcy. The procedures for the reorganization of a corporation that has become bankrupt , either voluntarily or involuntarily are quite a difficult to implement. In the reorganization process, there are certain standard procedures that must be employed in order to provide an acceptable solution. The procedures for the initiation and execution of corporate reorganizations, which include filing, the appointment of a trustee, the development of reorganization plan, the approval of the plan, and the payment of expenses. Literature review The trustee recommends Brealey, Myers and Marcus (2007) states reorganization of the firm; he must draw up a plan. Reorganization plan is generally concerned with the firm’s capital structure. Since most firms’ financial difficulties result from high fixed charges, the capital structure is generally altered in order to reduce the fixed charges. Debts are exchanged for equity or the maturiti
Introduction The story A World on the Edge by Amy Chua is devoted to a wide range of social problems affected the third world countries and closely connected with globalization and integration processes of the modern era. The author argues that globalization has a great impact on poverty and social inequalities which lead to such social problems as racial and ethnic envy. The author uses numerous examples which prove that poverty is still an issue of the day affected many third world countries. Underdeveloped countries usually lack sufficient capital and management skills to develop modern industries. Amy Chua argues that poverty does not lead to killing of people but it becomes a driven force of social change and inequalities. Analysis The paper will examine the issues of poverty in less developed countries and a possibility of the economic aid and integration initiatives for the third world. If too much profit goes back to the investing companies and if local people are not taught skills and brought into managerial positions, far from spreading economic benefits, such enterprises discourage national industries. In fact national industries sometimes sell out to foreign companies. In these ways foreign companies may come to control a nation’s entire economy. The two sources used for analysis are the book Ending Global Poverty: A Guide to What Works by S.C. Smith and A Corporate Solution to Global Poverty: How Multinationals Can Help the Poor and Invigorate Their Own Legitimacy by G. Lodge, G. and C. Wilson. Both books are based on substantial and objective analysis of economic data and current initiatives aimed to eliminate poverty around the globe. Poverty is one of the main problems in the third world countries influenced by globalization and immigration processes. The additional sources will help to prove that global corporation and foreign aid have a great impact local economies thus this support is weak enough to change the situation in these countries. Amy Chua argues that poverty is the main problem affected the third world and its development leading to social conflicts and low standards of living. “Critics of globalization are right to demand that more attention be paid to the enormous disparities of wealth created by global markets. But just as it is dangerous to view markets as the panacea for the world’s poverty and strife, so too it is dangerous to see democracy as a panacea” (Chua n.d.). The causes of poverty are inadequate economic development of the countries and lack of natural resources, unstable political situation and high inflation rates. The development was marked, ironically, by a slowing down of economic assistance, measured as a percentage of rich nations’ economic output. In addition a growing proportion of assistance took the form of loans; more loans were offered at higher rates of interest; and as the indebtedness of underdeveloped countries climbed, so did the amount of money that they returned to donor nations in the form of repaymen
Generally, a philosophical movement is an increase in popularity of a particular school of philosophical thinking. These movements are usually composed of a number of philosophers who agree with the particular school of philosophy. Other groups of people that may be involved in the movements may be scientists, political figures and historians. However, most of the philosophical movements in the past were based on individual thinkers. These thinkers frequently disagreed with each other and had varying opinions concerning the proposed school of philosophy. Most of the defining ideas of the movements were originally derived based on individual ideas. Most of them are usually given the suffix ‘ism’. Movements can be seen to have existed long in history. There are ancient philosophical movements, which existed long ago. Examples include Confucianism, Aristotelianism, Pythagoreanism, and Stoicism, among many others. Later on, the medieval philosophical movements came along. They include Neo-Confucianism, Thomism, Scotism and Scholasticism. More recently, the philosophical movements that were developed were referred to as the modern philosophical movements. In this paper, I will address the Existentialism Movement and argue that Sartre made the most controversial contribution to the movement. Therefore, I will concentrate on his contributions. Existentialism Movement Existentialism is a concept in philosophy that believes in individualism as the beginning of the understanding of human existence (Appignanesi and Zarate 12). It began in the mid-19 th century. Soren Kierkegaard is believed to be the first philosopher in this school of philosophy. Jean-Paul Sartre was also a believer in the Existentialist movement. He wrote an essay on ‘Existentialism and Humanism’ in order to argue his position wit
The people of Hispanic origin account for a considerable part of the population of the United States. More specifically, the Hispanic population of the country has surpassed sixty million by the year 2019, and this number increases to 64 million if the people of Puerto Rico are included. In this regard, a rapid growth has been observed since the second half of the 20 th century, as the Hispanic population amounted to only four million people in 1950. Moreover, it is only projected to increase up to 111 million in the next forty years (Rumbaut, 2019). Nevertheless, in spite of the similarities in origins, culture, and ancestors, the Hispanic population can be divided into two major categories. First of all, there are people who immigrate to the United Stated from Latin America. Second, a considerable portion of Hispanic Americans are born and live in the former Mexican territories ceded to the U.S. The two categories may have varying experiences in this country, as enabled by the objective differences. From one perspective, the inhabitants of former Mexican territories may be expected to show a better degree of assimilation in terms of the American traditions, culture, and language. However, Qian et al. (2017) state that such communities tend to become more enclosed, preserving the centuries of Latin American customs. As such, they form primarily Hispanic families that rarely extend beyond the inner circle. On the other hand, the same study shows that recent immigrants from Latin America have a different experience (Qian et al., 2017). They are more dispersed across the territory of the country, often refraining from forming enclosed communities. Instead, they prefer to assimilate with the rest of the population through the language and, for example, mixed marriages. However, in spite of these differences, both local and immigrant people of Hispanic origins remain loyal to their roots and represent the parts of a whole. They share their native language and cultural code, while being subjected to similar instances of individual and systemic disparities on the racial basis.
The most honest way to treasure one’s job as the old adage goes is to imagine being without one. No matter how the job is, it is better than idling. In any case, people make something out of something not out of nothing. Life is about having a dream and turning it to reality. A good master would make life heaven on earth. If I were to choose out of the free services given, a chauffeur, a cook, housekeeper or a gardener I would go for a chauffeur. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life so goes the old adage. Driving is one of my hobbies in life. If I would offer my services to any one without complaining, then driving would be that one thing. I would drive miles and miles without complaining or getting tired. As for the rest, even a mention of them puts me off. I would also like a job that would make me happy in life as pleasure in a job puts perfection in ones work. Being perfect and smart in what I do underscores my happiness in life. Being a chauffeur would enable me to meet one of my life’s greatest targets, happiness. The amount of money one gets cannot define his/her happiness; felicity lies deep within the satisfaction one gets out of something. Money can buy anything in the world but not happiness. A good example of this is a couple I know very well. Money to them is not an issue but they lack the most essential thing in the house, peace. Fighting is the order of the day for the couple hence happiness and money are two separate identities. I would like a job that allows me to meet new people and make new friends. Being a chauffeur would lay a platform for me to achieve this. My philosophy in life has always been; count your years on earth by the number of friends you have made. The rest of the services given would not give me the chance of making friends as they involve working from an enclosure. I was once involved in this kind of a job as a part-time activity to earn me money and the results were amazing. The number of friends I have today would not have been so would I not have done that job. I called for a party the other day and most of the friends who came were the ones I had met in my part-time job. A job involving travelling would be perfect one for me. Naturally, I adore nature and driving through places would bring me closer to nature. From the vast stretches of vegetation to the calm waters on the way would complete my world. I once drove my family to an animal park. My family has never had such a long entertaining day; stopping at every point to appreciate nature ever seemed to cheer up some members. Currently anyone from my family would also make such stops given the chance. In conclusion, a volunteering service requires self-drive whose stimulant is being able to appreciate the kind of a job you are doing. I would recommend anyone to search for his or her heart’s desires and interests before engaging on such kind of a choice. For me, being a chauffer is the only thing I would consider offering free.
Civil Rights in the United States Civil rights are what citizens in a democratic country are entitled to and they include rights such as the right to vote, right to equal treatment and opportunities, the right to life and the right to protection from any harm or violence. Civil rights are designed to guarantee the freedom of a country’s citizens, allowing them to speak, think and act without any fear of reprisals. It is the government’s duty and responsibility to create an effective legal framework that will see these rights being enjoyed by every citizen (Paterson et al. 5). Women’s Role in the Civil Rights Movement The movement of civil rights in the United States was founded with the main aim of ensuring that the necessary legislation was formulated that would enable American citizens enjoy the civil rights. Past literature that focused on the civil rights movement has shown that women had multiple roles in the movement, the same as their male counterparts. Majority of the women involved in this movement were of black origin while the rest formed part of the minority groups in America (Crawford et al . xviii). These women were fighting for their freedom from slavery and also from being colonized by the whites in a country that was believed to have exercised freedom during a period of instability around the world .A conference for women involved in the civil rights movement were convened in Atlanta, Georgia in the year 1945 to 1965. The conference brought together women activists and scholars who were fighting for the equal rights of women in America. The main objective of the conference was to acknowledge individuals and groups of women who had actively protested and campaigned for reforms in the civil rights. These women were united with the main purpose of gaining the pursuit of happiness that was included in the Declaration of Independence (Crawford et al. xvii). The Pursuit of Happiness The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was seen to be a first step towards creating a more liberal and democratic America. The pursuit of happiness is an important part of the Civil Rights Act that stipulates American citizens have the right to pursue lawful business in a manner that is not inconsistent and disruptive to the equality rights of other American citizens. The pursuit of happiness is meant to increase a citizen’s prosperity and enjoyment in their life or business endeavors (Licht 98). The practice of pursuit of happiness is basically the pursuit of property even though property is deemed to be less valuable than the freedom or life of an individual citizen. Individuals view having property as having security which allows them to be free from any interference by the government or other people. The pursuit of happiness stipulates that having se
