Ventura Hills Group aims to provide older people with housing and assisted care. It provides accommodation, healthcare, and other services to the elderly population. The provisions are tailored to meet the evolving marketplace as the seniors’ demands and preferences change. Ventura Hills Group focuses on maximizing older people’s quality of life through personalized and optimum care facilitation that ensures good health, safety, and compassion for the vulnerable group. Its other goal is to promote physical and mental health offered by trained, ethical, and qualified staff members. The quality of care is tailored to exceed that of competitors to earn profit and retain members. Ventura Hills Group will advise senior people on economic alternatives to pay for the needed services at the company or stay in a spacious and less personal facility while fostering optimum quality of life. Ventura Hills Group will renovate the facility and utilize unused buildings to earn more income. The company strives to attract more customers by improving its resources. Adding more space means long-term residents will increase. The company has modest marketing goals to establish long-lasting relationships with customers. It will primarily create a waiting list of more than ten prospective customers. Doing so will enable the company to pre-screen and select clients based on the list created throughout the preceding year. The company will seize a more active marketing goal if a vacancy level exists during its operations. Strategy The company will utilize strategic partnerships and online marketing to meet its plans and clients’. Its website will contain a complete description of the various services provided, the company’s vision and mission, as well as the photographs of its basic facilities. Additionally, Ventura Hills will strategically position the facility into many directory listings, apart from targeting various locations for its marketing needs. Seeking strategic relationships with other companies, including referral agencies, law firms for elder care, insurance companies, senior care websites, home health caregiving, and nursing placement organizations, will enable it to reach more clients. Ventura Hills Group will employ basic promotional strategies in its website, including search engine optimization and listings on online directories. This strategy is suitable because it was presumed that the population is well educated about the facility in the company’s market analysis. Moreover, earlier mentioned, independent living penetration analysis shows a higher penetration, accompanied by significant occupancy, revealing a balanced market (The Bank of San Antonio p. 27). This information indicates a competitive market, but it shows that the population understands the facility’s services. Therefore, the company will reduce operating costs by employing less marketing efforts, for example, in product education. However, it will ensure superior service quality and affordable hiring charges to remain competitive and attractive, promoting long-term sustainability. Tactics Ventura
John Stuart Mill’s view of sovereignty over the mind and the body focuses on the tendency of human beings to exercise liberalism to fulfill their self-interest. Mill’s notion holds that human beings have great desires for better accomplishment of their own good than the good of others. Therefore, there exists competition amongst individuals in their endeavor to fulfill personal wellbeing. According to Mill, human beings are naturally rational and egocentric. They usually compete as they attempt to seek liberation. In his theory, Mill advances that individuals exercise whatever means to seek self-protection against physical, moral, and/or religious coercion. However, the notion asserts that a person’s sovereignty finds its rightfulness only when it is used to defend oneself against ruin. Similarly, the theory warrants individuals to exercise their powers against the will of others to avert any probable destruction. Bishop posits that human beings are the ‘kings’ of their own (9). Hence, they bear the right to decide what they need to do with their bodies and minds (Bishop 9). In other words, individuals have autonomous freedom to choose and pursue their own actions provided they do not intrude on the sovereignty of other people. In comparison, Michael Foucault’s impression of freedom resonates with Mill’s notion since he elucidates various formal, carnal, organizational, and informational structures that enhance the execution of autonomous authority within the societal setting. The philosopher supports that individuals have intrinsic self-will that enables them to choose their route of action to accomplish their self-centeredness (Tobias 66). Foucault’s perspective of freedom suggests that sovereignty over ourselves provides us with power that serves to initiate motivation to execute behaviors of our own choice in society. According to Tobias, Foucault’s notion majorly focuses on political thought and its connotation on individuals’ decisions to exercise sovereignty over their bodies. Nevertheless, Foucault’s view is somewhat pessimistic about positive freedom. Unlike Mill’s opinion of power over the body and mind, Foucault mainly backs negative space, where he explains that human beings are less free than they perceive. His theorization that individuals acquire autonomous powers to initiate a particular set of behaviors makes humans less free beings whose sovereign discipline governs their intrinsic ability. In reality, this kind of intellectuality generates disproportional power relationships to exercise absolute sovereignty over the mind and body (Tobias 81). With this hint in mind, Foucault’s conception disavows the construct that individuals possess unconditional free

Introduction Good communication is based on the capability of the recipient to listen and comprehend the intention of the speaker and vice versa. However, communicating with people from different cultures can prove a challenging encounter. Despite the difficulty, the importance of cross-cultural communication cannot be ignored, particularly in a generation where migrants move across borders with disparate traditions and language seeking refuge. Governments are legally obligated to offer protection for refugees as mandated by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the 1951 Protocol. The ongoing Syrian refugee crisis has seen mixed reactions from states concerning whether to receive fleers or not. The crisis is also an illustration of the challenges that locals and refugees face with respect to cross-cultural communication. The following discourse examines the Syrian refugee catastrophe. The goal is to determine the scope of the intercultural and cross-cultural communication in helping Syrian migrants to seek asylum. Comparison of how different governments are dealing with Syrian Refugees The Syrian refugee impasse has been correctly termed as one of the most heinous humanitarian catastrophes after the Cold War. It is approximated that about 7.6 million are internally displaced and that more than 4 million people are fleeing to the neighbouring countries in search of shelter. The extreme erosion of the political and socio-economic structures has intensified the number of refugees’ influx in the neighbouring states and international governments (The UNHCR 2013). The following is an analysis of how various states have welcomed the asylum seekers. The Turkish government has been offering sanctuary for Syrian migrants since April 2011 through an open-door initiative. Back in 2011, the policy was meant to act as an interim plan to offer the displaced persons refuge as the conflict in Syria is resolved. However, it has been forced to readjust the purpose of the initiative following the deepening of the civil war. Turkey has reconsidered its immigration laws and legislated bills to allow an inclusive and liberal migrant and asylum decree. Currently, the state offers Syrian migrants provisional protection status. Moreover, it encourages a nonrefoulement culture while at the same time welcoming Syrians who flee the war-torn country. However, although it maintains a charitable gesture to the migrants, the numbers are becoming hard to withstand (İçduygu 2015). Currently, Jordan hosts about 630,000 Syrian migrants. The figure is expected to rise with the influx of Syrian fleers. Individuals who seek refuge in the state must first register with the UNHCR officials. The migrants have drastically altered the population. Most of the refugees have moved to urban centres such as Amman. Their concentration in the towns makes them easily distinguishable from the locals. While Jordan is willing to accept more refu
Leaders in the nursing field empower or allow nurses and other individuals to assist in fulfilling the objectives of the organization. Nurse leaders from chief executive officers to the level of students play a major role in making decisions. Therefore, everyone has the chance to display the qualities of a good leader in medical work. Effective leaders in the nursing field utilize leadership theories and elements to execute quality health services. Leadership is one of the important factors that contribute to the success or failure of an organization. As a nurse leader, one can be summoned to utilize his or her knowledge and skills to discover creative solutions to medical care occurrences. Today’s medical care organizations require innovative and creative solutions. Hence, health care providers need to be creative and ready to take risks, and experiment. The advantages of creative nursing are that it improves the most excellent practices in caring for patients, self, colleagues, communities, and families (Manthey, 2008, par.2). The nurse manager in the labor room where I work is a female and has been working there for the last 15 years. She runs the labor room, nursery, and post-postpartum unit. Many physicians, head nurses, and administrators have found and left her still at the same post. She is academically qualified and holds an RNC, BSN, MBA, degree. I have selected her because she is a well-organized, verbal, autocratic leader, aggressive and compliant associate of the nursing association. Being an autocratic leader, she is fully in charge of her department. She issues most of the directives which must be followed in the letter. She wields a great deal of power over her subordinates as her opinion about any subordinate is always honored by the management. In this respect, she can successfully lead to the sacking of any uncooperative worker. In addition, she has been working as a nurse manager in the labor room, the nursery, and the postpartum unit for a long. As such, she has faced numerous challenges and events which have greatly impacted her with extensive knowledge on anything regarding the three departments. She is thus well placed to address issues concerning occupational health and safety of the workers. In addition, she is well conversant with the challenges encountered in the labor room and knows how such problems are best solved as well as possible improvements which can permanently eliminate some challenges. Her aggressiveness and commitment show that she is passionate about her job and has been successful in the position. The most common leadership theories are the trait theory, the great man theory, role theory, behavioral theory, leadership grid, Lewin’s leadership styles, Likert’s leadership styles, Vroom and Yetton’s normative leadership, Hersey and Blanchard’s situational leadership theory, authentic leadership, collective leadership, transformational leadership, leader-member exchange theory and path-goal theory of leadership (Clark, 2008, p.8). Theories related to nursing leadership and management include; gen
Introduction Relativism refers to a school of thought that asserts the relative nature of truth and other realities that characterize human existence in society. According to this sociological viewpoint, truth is usually variable depending on context and recurrent parametrical threshold (Binkley 12). Relativists view truth as being subject to individual perceptions and prevailing circumstances that define human considerations with regard to various instances of discourse in social contexts. Moral relativism revolves around various benchmarks that define and regulate moral action during human engagement (Binkley 12). In most cases, individuals propagate truth in a manner that favours their position on germane social undertakings. It is evident that ethical and moral action suffices in limited measure depending on what people have to lose or gain in different situations. Relativism continues to experience controversy and contention due to its core ideals that seek to defend the relative and volatile nature of truth and ethical conduct in social contexts (Binkley 13). There has been debate on essence of the concept of truth relativism. This concept seeks to entrench the inability to define truth as being absolute and rigid. For instance, truth that suffices in one context may not apply in a different or relatively similar context. Under this premise, truth depends on particular terms of reference and prevailing conditions that define such situations (Binkley 16). In fact, truth usually depends on particular parametrical thresholds such as cultural inclination and lingual orientation. Cultural relativism seeks to highlight facts and realities that constitute truth in contexts of human interaction and engagement within cultural entities (Binkley 18). This research undertaking seeks to defend the proposition that truth is relative. It shall also analyze numerous points of view that investigate and assert the reality of this submission. This shall include development of clear thoughts and deliberations with regard to manifestations of truth in individual and collective endeavours. The aforementioned objectives shall materialize through incorporation and utilization of ideas from credible and authoritative academic publications. Discussion Numerous definitions and implications suffice with regard to the concept of relativism. Scholars and modern philosophers have divergent views that seek to shed light on relativism as a critical facet of philosophical and sociological agency in contemporary society. Through such efforts, they strive to establish a cle
Major Findings and Conclusions Psychologists have proposed different models that explain ‘interference and short-term retention’ in human working memory. The article presents a study that sought to investigate the effects of different secondary tasks on short-term memory. The researchers tested different states arising from the Changing-State Hypothesis and the Working-Memory Models. The comparative study indicated that the Working-Memory Model was effective because it presented a better account for the implications of secondary tasks. This makes it effective than the O-OER model. The O-OER model is used to describe the Changing-State Hypothesis. The O-OER model offers a detailed explanation of the implications of disruptive aspects of non-speech and irrelevant sounds. The Working-Memory Model usually assumes that the changing-state tasks will impose “heavy loads on human resources” compared to “steady-state tasks” (Page & Norris, 1998). The researchers observed that crossover dissociations were evident between verbal and spatial serial short-term memories (Meiser & Klauer, 1999). From such findings, the researchers concluded by stating that the Working-Memory Model presents better explanations and arguments for interference during short-term cognition and memory. According to Meiser and Klauer (1999), resources for separate Working-Memory and verbal information corroborate through functional dissociations. However, there is need to consider that the serial-order retention is usually underspecified within the Working-Memory Model (Meiser & Klauer, 1999). In summary, the findings extended the ideas of Jones et al. (1995) thus supporting the Working-Memory Model for interference in human short-term memory. Implications for the Field of Psychology The findings from this study are applicable in the field of psychology. To begin with, the findings support the use of the Working-Memory Model because it offers a clear distinction between the subordinate memory systems and the “central executive” memory (Meiser & Klauer, 1999). The reason for this is that interference effects can be accurately explained using “overload of the central executive and its subsystems”. In the recent past, scholars and psychologists have challenged the Working-Memory Model thus making it inadequate. However, psychologists can use the model because it is effective. As well, the findings are important because they help readers and psychologists understand the applications of the Working-Memory Model in comparison with other models (Meiser & Klauer, 1999). The findings also clarify that the current model does not predict whether “interference occurring during the encoding process” disrupts memory items, serial order, or both. That being the case, psychologists can rely on these findings to support the practices and under working memory. The article explains new ideas and knowledge that can help psychologists support their patients and improve their memories. The findings also provide psychologists with the best ideas for the working memory. Method/Participants The researchers used several experiments to complete the study. The first experiment involved 40 s
The benefits of engaging in physical activity have been widely established, with studies showing that physically active individuals are likely to incur reduced healthcare-associated costs, and minimal decline in functional impairment in comparison with their inactive counterparts (Plow, Allen, & Resnik, 2011). However, several factors can negatively affect physical activity among different individuals depending on their age and the condition they are suffering from, thus depriving them of the perceived benefits of participating in physical exercise. Depression is one of the prevalent psychological disorders that affect the capacity of physical activity among different individuals, but few studies have been conducted along this line, with several of the studies that have been done is on the effects of physical activity on depression. Moreover, considering that depression is related to complications such as coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, its capability to influence physical activity making matters more complex (Jerstad, Boutelle, Ness, Stice, 2010; Plow et al., 2011). This review seeks to evaluate critically various studies that have been conducted on the effects of depression on physical activity. Literature Review Some studies have been conducted to establish the relationship between depression and physical activity. Accordingly, Jerstad et al. (2010) sought to examine the bidirectional association between depression and physical activity by investigating whether future intensification of depression can be reduced through physical activity. Moreover, the study investigated whether depression reduces future physical activity levels. The method employed in this particular study involved a longitudinal assessment on an annual basis involving 496 girls (out of which 56% were recruited) of an average age of 13 years, with a six-year follow up made to assess the outcome measures. The participants filled questionnaires as well as participating in other procedures such as structured interviews that enabled measures to be taken on an annual basis. Additionally, research assistants were charged with taking height and weight readings during the follow-up. The girls par
