Introduction Mexico is a Spanish Speaking Federal Republic in North America. It borders the Pacific Ocean on the west and south, on the north is the United States; on the east, it borders the Gulf of Mexico. Belize, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea borders Mexico on the Southeast. There are thirty one (31) federal districts and states in Mexico. It is the 14th largest country in the world with a population of 110 million people. The annual population growth is decreasing at a drastic rate, currently standing at 0.85%. Life expectancy is estimated at 75%., the mortality rate stand at 4.5% per 1000 people. Mexico City is the capital city of Mexico. The gross National product (GNP) stands at 760 billion dollars with an annual average growth of 5.8%. Economic Developments: Dependency Theory Dependency theory is the notion that, there are wealthy nations or states and marginalized under developed states. Resources are moved from the poor, under developed nation, to wealthy developed nations to sustain the wealth states economic growth and maintain the wealth. A vicious circle develops making it hard for the underdeveloped country to be independent economically, leaving these countries with no choice but to allow foreign corporations to set up base in their cities. Jobs are created in the city but the average wages is very poor, with the product through the local labor siphoned off to the developed countries. This leads to exploitation as the foreign corporations make huge profits at the expense of poor countries. According to the dependency theory, the development of the global north is directly proportional to the underdevelopment of Global South. Handelman, Howard (2006) Just like other Latin American economies, economic development of Mexico has shown full relevancy of the dependency theory, focusing mainly on export of raw materials. The United States and European Nations and at the same time depending on these countries for capitals and consumer goods. Attempt by some Mexico past leaders like Cárdenas, to create new directions in economic development didn’t yield much as there were no heavy industries in Mexico that could compete against the United States and Britain. Mexico remained dependent on these countries. The Mexican’s elite who controlled most of the countries export were actively involved in perpetuating Mexico dependency. This class originated from a dependent economy and as such they pursued their agenda by advocating for policies g
The Frontline documentary, “Supplements and Safety,” provides a thorough and insightful description of the main problems existing in the supplement industry: safety, regulation, and efficacy. The New York Times reporter, Anahad O’Connor, gathered evidence from recent research projects and interviews with the representatives of the federal government, healthcare practitioners, victims of harmful products, and supplement producers that are likely to disturb every consumer who has ever been interested in purchasing natural remedies. Some of the facts revealed in the documentary will be discussed in the present paper. The major concern with the modern supplement industry is that the product development process is largely uncontrolled by the government, and there are currently no effective regulations that would ensure product safety. As the active commissioner of FDA, Stephen Ostroff, stated in the film, “the FDA does not do any review of dietary supplements before they come onto the market” ( Supplements and Safety 5:19-5:27). They do control the manufacturing process, urge manufacturers to comply with high safety standards, and carry out regular inspections, yet the content of pills is beyond their grasp. Due to this, supplement producers can put almost anything in their products, and the worst of all is the situation when unverified and extremely detrimental ingredients become mixed and sold. It is true that consumers pay to get some positive effects from natural remedies and supplements. Still, it is possible to deal with the situation when supplements simply do not work and show no desired results, but the cases when “natural” products ruin individuals’ lives by inducing irreversible organ damages or cause death are outrageous and provoke severe indignation. Another significant concern, which is directly related to the first one, is that supplements are vastly advertised and their use is promoted through numerous media. Just like in many other profit-oriented industries, ads that aim to sell supplements mainly appeal to consumer emotions and often promise miraculous and unrealistic effects. As such, present-day buyers are now growing more suspicious about this type of advertising. Nevertheless, they continue to trust authoritative figures in healthcare, government, and other organizations that sometimes encourage the use of supplements. Unfortunately, consumers may lack awareness of the true motives of these promoters who may primarily seek personal and financial interests while stimulating product sales growth. As the results of the studies by Dr. Steven Newmaster and Eric Schneiderman revealed, many of companies specialized in dietary supplements can even put those ingredients in their pills that are not listed on the label. Their DNA investigations of supplement contents made it clear that only about 20% of all products that one may buy in large store chains in the United States are what they are intended to be, while others comprise large portions of r
Culture is the complex of main values shared by people on the definite territory, so that to perform the genuine character of the nation with its originality and peculiarity. This simple definition of the term describes a versatile nature of culture in its diversity and capability to make people different or just peculiar to other nations. In this respect the American nation is the complex of different nationalities and ethnical communities united under the wholeness of different cultural points. According to the main items American culture comprises understanding of movie industry, car industry, google.com, Microsoft, American flag, White house, Rushmore Mountain, NASA, Disney world and others. With regards to the events celebrated in America one should realize the significance of Thanks giving, 4th of July, Columbus Day, Kentucky Derby, Memorial Day, and Inauguration day. Under most important for the cultural background locations one points out Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas as well. The very use of the term “American culture” can be immediately associated with so many images and particular traits of this part of the world where the predominant and global character of it describes the wholeness of the concept. The main concepts of it are, for example, the way of living and attitudinal framework of Americans toward living, dressing, behavior etc. It is special for Americans to feel no troubles within the society, because the mentality of them prescribes a grave and expressly underlined joy. All in all, the frames for culture in the United States remain the same.
The way people should behave during oral presentations is described by many writers and paper men. One can find thousand useful words which can help at the official oral presentation. John Windsor, the author of the article “Presenting Smart: What Story Do Your Graphics Tell?”, provides a reader with some certain rules as to how one should choose appropriate visual aids for oral presentations. According to his experience, relevance is the most important element in presentation pictures. They should not be boring and uninformative; visual aids should be relevant to the audience, your business and it would compulsory bring success to your oral presentation. Kathy Reiffenstein devoted her article to “Five Things Not to Do in Front of an Audience”. She stressed that future cooperation with partners and a number of clients depend on the way the oral presentation was carried out. The author underlines that everyone should follow certain rules:   * be organized (the facts of the presentation material should properly organized);   * do not concentrate too much attention on your personality;   * do not ignore questions of the audience;   * do not make the presentation too tense and formal, try to mix it with some life stories;   * try not to apologize for some misspeaking or wrong slide. One more important aspect of oral presentations success was covered by Gwen Parsons in “The Way I See It: Got Trade Show Troubles?” She focuses on the ways of maximizing investments and attracting more clients by way of oral presentation. The most important thing, according to her material, is to promote your presence in advance and attract more visitors. The articles researched above clear up the way the oral presentation should be carried out. I for one consider that my own presentatio
The purpose of the study is to examine trends and patterns of the variation in the consumer price indices (CPI) for gasoline and electricity in Canada. CPI is an integral economic indicator used in the assessment of the inflation rate of a country and the cost of living among consumers. Trends and patterns of CPI reflect the variation in inflation and consumer rates. In this case, the study collected CPI for gasoline, electricity, and all items because they are values that relate to the consumption of energy in Canada. The data for gasoline CPI represented the non-renewable market, whereas the data for electricity exemplified the renewable market of energy in Canada. According to Natural Resources Canada (2013), Canada produces 63% of its electricity from renewable sources of energy, mainly from hydroelectric power plants. Among countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Canada is the second leading consumer of gasoline, a non-renewable form of energy, in the transport and manufacturing industries (Moshiri & Aliyev, 2017). For comparative analysis, CPI for all items was also used in the study. The selected variables are significant because economists employ CPI in predicting inflation and purchasing powers of consumers in various markets, represented by different categories of products and services. Data The selected data comprised CPI for gasoline, electricity, and all items commonly purchased in Canada. In the selection process, CPI variables and their annual frequencies were searched and then retrieved from an online database (Statistics Canada, 2019). The online database is suitable because it contains valid and accurate economic data for reliable decision-making. Given that the database has diverse forms of data, the appropriate variables of CPI were downloaded in the format of.csv and saved in.xlsx in MS Excel. Subsequently, these variables were filtered in MS Excel and CPI for gasoline, electricity, and all items were selected. Since the selected data comprised of time series from 1949 to 2018, the recent data from 1980 was chosen for analysis (Appendix). Moreover, a composite index for gasoline, electricity and all items was calculated by averaging their indices and using 1980 as the base year. Individual or composite CPI for gasoline, electricity, and all items are important economic indicators in the Canadian economy since they reflect variations in prices, inflation, and purchasing powers of consumers over time. Analysis Central Tendency The measures of central tendency (Table 1) were used to calculate typical CPI values for gasoline, electricity, all items, and the average index. Table 1. Measures of Central Tendency.         Gasoline CPI  Electricity CPI  All Items CPI  Average Index Mean    107.79        93.48            93.83          98.37         Median  85.20         90.80            92.90          89.53         Count   39            39               39             39             The means of CPI for gasoline (M = 107.79) is the highest followed by those of average index (M = 98.37), all items (M = 93.83),
Introduction Individuals should live a happy life even after going through the divorce process. To obtain this, it is necessary for one to consider being remarried. Remarriage allows a person to find love and comfort from the other partner. Furthermore, finding an individual that understands your needs promotes psychological development because the level of stress will be minimized. After separation, people should find new partners irrespective of their financial status to achieve marital satisfaction necessary for self-development. Therefore, individuals should remarry to achieve a better life irrespective of their social, financial, or psychological condition. Benefits of Remarriage When a person chooses to be remarried, they would likely accumulate their financial sources to focus their economic development with the partner. Remarrying also allows individuals to have high self-esteem, thus promoting personal confidence in all aspects of life. Furthermore, the process can make a person find a compatible spouse hence promoting understanding and happiness. Moreover, people can give birth to children, therefore, creating a happy family. Similarly, having a companion that comprehends your emotions and encourages one another would help in developing and managing emotions and also reducing depression. When people are married, they consult one another in case of any issue to find an optimal solution. This improves the level of decision-making in the family for better living (Asghari 240). Additionally, if a person remarries, they have limited chances to suffer from sicknesses like diabetes caused by stress. The companion allows people to be free and mentally healthy, thus minimizing health problems. It is also possible for people to find functional relationships hence facilitating their development. Furthermore, remarrying builds children a family and a home where they belong. The couples also devote themselves to the marriage to make it work based on past experience. Conclusion In summary, remarrying enables individuals to have a better life, thus facilitating their happiness. It also makes people have less health issues associated with depression and stress. The practice facilitates the development of strong and viable families. Furthermore, the couples derive marital satisfaction through love and understanding. Moreover, people receive both social and economic support from their partners and relatives hence improving the living conditions. Lastly, when engaging in remarriage, spouses tend to deliver their best to ensure the institution function drawing their lessons from the past marriage.

The pluses and minuses of each of the various business forms Before establishing a coffee shop, Betty has to evaluate the advantages as well as the disadvantages involved in the available options of businesses forms. In this regard, Betty has been faced with various options including a franchise, limited liability company, sole proprietorship as well as joint venture. In addition, operating a corporation is another business form that Betty can adopt to operate the business. To begin with, adoption of a franchise would enable Betty to be supported by the gains accrued because of the connection to larger firms. In addition, such connections will offer the autonomy that is necessary for Betty to succeed in the operations of the business (Henderson, 2009). Further, the franchise is a model of business that provides the necessary training in the operations of the business. By acquiring the franchise, Betty has been presented with a firm that has already acquired a conventional image and status as well as proven management procedures. The franchise would also enable Betty to reach out for the Christian community. However, buying a franchise would involve adherence to the formal agreement with the franchisor and revamp the concord at the conclusion of the franchise (Henderson, 2009). Second, operating a Limited Liability Company (LLC) offers additional advantages allowing Betty to gain from the liability benefits such as taxes rebates. Nevertheless, LLC experiences inconsistency among the shareholders concerning the dues. Further, interpreting the state laws that create the limited liability status is another disadvantage of such form of business (Mancuso, 2010). On the other hand, operating a partnership would enable Betty together with other partners share the revenue, ventures as well as the running of the firm. However, operating a partnership would deny Betty the sole ownership of the organization (Fontana, 2010). Finally, operating as a sole proprietor would give Betty the total control of the firm as well as exposing the business to minimum government regulations. On the contrary, Betty would be personally responsible for the huge chunk of the business assets (Fontana, 2010). Consequently, the liabilities could affect Betty’s individual resources. In agreement with other responses, it is evident that operating franchise is the best business that Betty should adopt. The reason is that the franchise is a form of business that is readily available to Betty. In addition, nearby franchise is already offering Betty the necessary training vital for the management of the business. Whom Betty should take into the business with her In the operations of the business, Betty should consider employing Alice into the firm. However, Betty should contend with the opposition Alice faces from the husband. In essence, incorporating a person with the same spiritual values in the operations of the busin
Leadership skills are necessary for building a successful nursing career, providing high-quality health care, and developing a culture of improvement at a facility. Future professionals explore their strengths by studying, practicing, and following the inspiring examples of their teachers or senior colleagues. Self-assessment is another valuable strategy for identifying potential gaps to address for becoming a practical nurse leader. Furthermore, awareness of competencies to seek and develop can help DNP-prepared practitioners create their own leadership improvement goals and tactics to achieve them (American College of Healthcare Executives, 2017). Indeed, influential, communicative, team-building, and executive skills are considered essential for nurses of all types of organizations. This paper aims to conduct a self-assessment in relation to nurse leadership, identify potential strengths and gaps, and set development goals. Nursing leadership competencies address effective communication skills, high-quality healthcare providence, rational decision-making, and the ability to be responsible for extended groups of people. Indeed, aspiring DNP-prepared practitioners can assess themselves by identifying if they have sufficient skills to influence others, knowledge of their working environment and safety, and utilize critical thinking (American Organization for Nursing Leadership [AONL], n.d.). Communicational competencies can be expressed through solid organizational expertise, engaging others in specific behaviors, and facilitating discussions (AONL, n.d.). Knowledge of the working environment and the ability to operate in it can be viewed through actions taken to improve the clinical practice and education of others. I had various opportunities to explore my leadership skills, enhance them, identify the gaps, and reveal my strengths throughout my education and nursing practice. Indeed, at school, I was a team leader of volunteering projects we created to conduct systematic support for homeless people in my local community. Participating in the projects as one of the executives felt normal to me because I have always encouraged people to follow me on any mission. That strong quality of my character was released through the ability to craft speeches and develop empathy for individuals I interacted with. Communicational skills are also crucial for leaders as they help tailor the important messages correctly and build trustworthy relationships in a team (Feldman et al., 2019). My strength of encouragement is valuable for my future DNP-prepared career because I would be capable of making positi
Data collection The study aimed to understand the benefits of using the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) approach to reduce stress in nurses. Data were collected from nurses (n=25) working at Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network (LVHHN). The assessment was conducted for 8 weeks in the first quarter of 2004. The study adopted a quantitative method of data collection to ensure the application of many statistical computations (Cohen-Katz et al., 2005). Data were collected from nurses who could communicate in English and who did not have a history of suicide or substance abuse. The study participants were either assigned to the treatment group or control group. The qualitative stage of the study involved the analysis of 46 documents that were used to collect data from the study participants. The following tools were used to collect data:  1. “Getting to Know You Forms”  2. E-mails  3. Interviews  4. Focus groups  5. Final evaluation forms The methods of data collection could allow study participants to provide wrong responses. For example, a respondent could provide a wrong answer to a question if he or she felt that the answer could expose her private life. To avoid this problem, the study could have used more methods of data collection. For example, the study could have employed observation to collect data. With this method, researchers could record the exact behaviors they observed in nurses participating in the study. Data analysis The data collected were analyzed using a thematic analysis of documents used to gather data. A codebook that accommodated 32 items was used to analyze data using a collaborative approach by the research team. To test the codebook, a random selection of 5 interview documents was used. Initially, the codebook method was found to be cumbersome to code all the 32 items in the study documents. To solve the problem, only 6 items were used in the coding process. An agreement was reached when about 2 or 3 researchers provided the same coding results. To ensure thoroughness in the data analysis, the principal investigator coded 41 documents, which were then assessed and verified by the entire research team. After the manual coding, data were entered into the computer and analyzed using NVivo software (Cohen-Katz et al., 2005). The research team erred in reducing the number of items in the codebook because the smaller number of items could have resulted in less accuracy of study findings. The study authors have not provided the type of statistical computations they conducted on the data. It is required that the study authors have to provide the names of statistical tests they use to analyze data. Practical implications of the study The study determined that female nurses were the most vulnerable to stress and burnout in the
