Mothers’ day is a day that is taken to be important because one has to remember the things that his or her mother does in their daily lives. Mothers have the task of rearing and bringing up a child to be responsible for society. That is why a day is kept to thank them for what they have done and continues to do this is because the mothers have most of their time with the children and therefore they have the duty of making sure what is accepted by the society has to be taught to that newborn until the time the child is old enough to go to school. There are four types of mothers that are the saintly pictures of perfection, bountiful earth-mothers, noble embodiments of the maternal ideal like the David Copperfield’s the poor dying mum, and others who set a good example of mothers. Then there are the vain, shallow, self-absorbed mothers like scarlet and others who are involved in spending most of their lives time sacrificing for their children to make sure they grow to be accepted people in the society by teaching them the cultures that are supposed to be followed and this they do through socialization when the child is still young and ready to take things seriously. There are the dragon mothers who are loved by the dramatist this is because they create a state where these dramatists know about the social structure through these mothers are like Amanda and others. A mother whether is a widow, be divorced or single has the responsibility of keeping and rearing the children in the right manner. For example, kanga went through mistreatment by her husband but with all these troubles she never left her duties but did them accordingly like the keeping of the house been her duty she performed every task and kept the troubles as a mystery and also took care of her son. In taking care of the child she faced many troubles whereby it was hard to find a reliable babysitter. The baby has been left to anyone is always a danger this is because not all people will be willing to take care of your child and kanga left her son one afternoon where the person was not willing. People may make the worst plans were by there was a plan that was made as she left her child was they decided to kidnap the child and force the m
Introduction The terms used to denote aging include old, elderly, and aged. These terms usually find different applications in diverse social settings. The age of senior members of the society can be distinguished into two (Regmi 30). First, we have the group of those elderly members of the society who portray the ideal physical distinctiveness of old age and who can continue working. Secondly, there are those who are unable to carry out any tasks and including those eligible for homemaker services. Policies concerning the aged vary from one country to another. For example in Nepal, the retirement age for an individual is 60 for government employees and 63 for university employees. In different communities, age determines a person’s qualification for special responsibilities. For instance in Nepal, when a man attains more than 50 years of age, he is entitled to some powers, such as for executive responsibilities of the land resource and agrarian wealth of the family, having dominion over the continuation of laborers as well as tenants. This authority is attributed to the authoritative role of the father and the grandfather in the presidency of the emotional and economical demands of their generation group (31). How socio-cultural aspect of a community influence aging The old, as well as the young, detest features associated with aging. These symptoms include wrinkling, short-sightedness, hearing impairment, graying, and baldness. This attitude towards aging was displayed in an interview with senior men. In their response, they were concerned with their impression and other people’s opinions about them. They seemed more verbal about their body evaluation and self-impression than their female counterparts. In addition, they were more likely to bitterly dwell on their physical handicaps resulting from old age. Essentially, they were nostalgic about their memorable agility during their youth. The waning of the vibrancy and beauty associated with youth is usually accompanied with pain and sadness (Delaney 205). One characteristic associated with aging is the confusion manifested in the utility of addressing the terminology (Sokolovsky 46). For instance, the use of lung (uncle) or ui (grandfather) regarding a senior in Thai was determined by the estimation of the man’s age by the addressor. Contextually, ui denotes a member of senior generational class who is a retiree and portrays symptoms of old age. Despite the respect attached to such terms of address, a majority of the seniors are of the opinion that they rob the addressee of the authority associated with adulthood. This was supported with the dissatisfaction expressed in switching from the term pa
The transition from the pre-modern to the modern world has been revolutionary for the development and becoming of the future society. Many fundamental beliefs and outlooks on the world have been questioned, which has led to the rethinking of the system and search for the answers to the appearing questions. Therefore, the drastic changes have begun when people started doubting their fundamental values. The development of science highly influenced the shift to modern world. People could access the information more easily with the increasing publishing press in books in a common language worldwide. Consequently, they became more skeptical about the government constructions and realized that there was another way of leading and shaping the individuals. The pre-modern people were very religious, and they formed all the values and beliefs according to the thought that God defined everything and established the law. As they relied on God’s will and lacked scientific knowledge and proof, people took a system as it should, without a doubt that it could be any different. With the growth of the importance of science, the community was striving to define the only correct path of becoming the human race and civilization as a whole. The modern world concluded that by revealing the world ourselves without relying on religious statements, they could learn about it more precisely and gain more knowledge. However, despite all the positive inventions and openings, the public has used technology for creating weapons and covered all the maleficent actions such as genocide, justifying it with science. As time goes by, individuals have realized their autonomy and the value of the individual itself, not only the collective or social group of any kind. People started to demand the s
Introduction In today’s complex and tepid business environment, new projects are invariably being developed as organizations seek new methodologies to reduce costs, improve processes and procedures, enhance productivity, and maintain a competitive advantage by advancing their bottom line. The task of managing these diverse and often multifaceted projects along with their human capital, resources, costs, technology, and communication is a challenging undertaking for which the risk of failure to achieve the intended outcomes or deliverables is often far too high (Young, 2009). An effective solution, crafted to institute a more formalized and centralized approach to the management of expansive assemblages of projects, is the Project Management Office (PMO). It is against this backdrop that this paper will attempt to offer a critical evaluation of the impact of the project management office on the organization’s delivery of information technology projects, with a view to demonstrate their increased importance in ensuring successful completion of IT projects Current evaluative studies demonstrate that many organizations, especially those operating above a specific size and with broad differentiation of project work, have taken the initiative to institute PMOs to assume responsibility for project-related tasks and organize project-related activities (Andersen et al., 2007). There exist compelling evidence that today, more than ever before, contemporary project management precepts have surfaced to inspire a vitalized and buoyant professional approach to project management across varied sectors and industries (Hill, 2004). Although PMOs should not be perceived as a panacea for all project challenges, individual competences in project management have been revitalized and expanded through a blend of developments in project management approaches and processes, execution of training agendas, and automated work-tools that employ sophisticated design models and technology. However, it should be noted that “…there are large variations in terms of organizational location of such PMOs and the responsibilities/tasks they hold” (Andersen, 2007, p. 97). PMOs, according to Hill (2004), have necessitated today’s project managers who have adopted these principles to assume the dual responsibilities of a technical expert in a specific specialty as well as the business or organizational leader for the project. The project manager, through the provisions of the PMO, assumes responsibilities that oblige the professional to perform in a capacity that will facilitate the achievement of one or more operational objectives, which may include but not limited to project man
Introduction Being a student and also a teacher in Saudi Arabia has taught me a lot of experiences that have made life so meaningful. It has been like an investment that the society made which I had to pay back. When I look back, I can admit that there are certain things as a student that you can’t understand about teachers until when you are in their positions. The experiences that I went through when I was a student have made me to be a better teacher to my students. As I associate more with students, I get to know a lot more about student life which I dint know when I was in their position. This is basically because as a teacher, you get to encounter many other sides of students which you could not when you were personally a student. My experience as a student in Saudi Arabia There are some spectacular events that happened in my school life that have always made me cherish and love Saudi Arabia. Among the many things that have happened in may school life, I remember the day when I was taken to fourth grade simply because I was so sharp in mathematics. I was in third grade at that moment and my teacher thought I would be of great help to the fourth graders. Some of the fourth graders were unable to do the sums but I being a third grader managed it. This made me earn a lot of favor with my teachers especially the one who was teaching me mathematics. I was not only good in mathematics but also other subjects. My performance in my primary level was hence very good. I also cherish the moments that we were in school due to the closeness that we shared as both pupils and students. Surprisingly, most of us were from the same tribe and hence shared similar language and culture. We were also so close to our teachers that they would not mind giving us lifts during weekends. There was such closeness between our teachers’ parents and pupils which really enhanced the relationship. I remember there was a time I was in the mini market on a weekend doing some shopping that I had been sent by my parents. The teacher spotted me and offered to give me a lift up to home. This is a culture that the teachers have developed towards their students I was also actively involved in extra curricular activities that were frequently organized by the school. My favorite spotting game was soccer which made me feel relaxed and rejuvenated during weekends and after school. My skills in soccer were also so spectacular that I challenged those that were older than me. I loved to pose a challenge to my seniors not only in my academics but also when in the field playing soccer. This made me earn a lot of respect among my age mates and also favor with my teachers. They just loved my sense of det
One of the hardest things to do anymore is just to be an authentic human being. No one really seems to know what that means anymore. Although each one of us has our own sense of who we are and our own version of authenticity, these ideas are subdued by the process of McDonaldization. Generally speaking, McDonaldization is a term used to refer to “the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as of the rest of the world” (Ritzer, 1993: 1). This means that everything is valued based upon its ability to be replicated efficiently, predictably, mechanically in measurable amounts, and to a degree of rationality that removes the human equation from the problem altogether. This process is applied to all kinds of things in life today, from how we eat and work to how we play and interact with each other. Understanding how McDonaldization affects parts of our lives, such as in the production of rock music, can help us see the process as it occurs in other areas of our lives. From its earliest beginnings, McDonaldization has played a role in the way music is produced through the principle of calculability. One of my favorite bands has always been the Beatles. It was a band that my father introduced me to, listening to them when I was a baby and singing me to sleep with their songs. As I grew older, I realized how much they had influenced so many other of my favorite bands. It was surprising to me to learn that most of the songs that the Beatles sang were actually written for third-party groups, meaning they were very general and were designed to appeal to the public rather than being expressions of the ideas and thoughts of the band members. The process created to maximize the Beatle’s effectiveness in the rock world is still used today to create new hits. “McDonaldization involves an emphasis on things that can be calculated, counted, and quantified. In terms of the latter, it means a tendency to emphasize quantity rather than quality” (Ritzer, 1993: 102). Just like in the fast-food industry, the more songs that can be produced that can satisfy an audience in the least amount of time were seen to equal the greatest success. This industrial process behind the creation of our musical selections effectively blocks out the creative impulse, which explains why ‘break-out’ bands are so difficult to find. If they don’t follow the currently accepted formula in order to be authentic, they are often relegated to the lower ranks of entertainers because they are not able to ‘package’ their sound. Predictability is therefore another element that plays a large role in how our music is produced today that started back with the sensation of the Beatles. The songs that the Beatles produced were all about other people rather than the people in
The venture business in the United States as such began to take shape in the middle of the 20th century. Its goal was to close the gap that existed between science and industry. An important role in the development of venture business in the United States was played by government support, which was expressed in the creation of a special infrastructure, preferential lending, and measures aimed at the development of venture activities. At the same time, the legislator recognized the American LLC as a form of a legal entity, which is the most suitable for the functioning of a project company. This fact contributed to a significant increase in the number of new companies in the USA which adopted the startup model. Today LLCs are quite widespread and gaining increasing popularity in various sectors. In particular, they are used as static legal entities – asset holders, as opposed to operating companies directly involved in the business process (Mancuso, 2019). LLCs are also actively used by persons who carry out licensed activities, including doctors, lawyers, and auditors (Mancuso, 2019). They create a kind of professional limited liability company (PLLC), choosing the LLC form because of its relative freedom of management. Importantly, the presence of limited liability is determined by the advantage in resolving issues of liability for professional errors. However, the creation of a form such as PLLC is allowed not in all states; for example, in California, the establishment of PLLC is prohibited (Mancuso, 2019). Additionally, the combination of the advantages of limited liability of company participants with the relative freedom of organizing internal management constitutes an advantage for startups and new companies. Essentially, LLC is a legal entity that combines partnership, corporation, and sole proprietorship properties. Figuratively speaking, a limited liability company is a full-fledged legal entity that can be created by one or more persons. Thanks to these properties, LLCs has become the most popular form of activity for startups. In addition, LLC members have the right to choose according to what mechanisms the organization will be taxed and determine the requirements for a corporation, which is quite rare in practice. Thus, being an effective form of entity both on economic and legal planes, LLC status become a reason for the growth of the number of startups and new companies in the USA since gave them enough space for launching their activity. Reference Mancuso, A. (2019). Form your own limited liability company: Create an LLC in any state . (11 th ed.). NOLO.
The 76th Academy Awards Best Picture winner Crash (2004) has not seen a uniform reaction in the global community. Many, from regular viewers to acclaimed critics, share the opinion that this is one of the best movies of all time, a thoughtful narrative of the socio-cultural problems in present-day Los Angeles. Others, on the other hand, retrospectively point towards the controversies in its plot and criticize the overly dramatic nature of the film. Nevertheless, Paul Haggis’ award-winning drama presents a resourceful tool to analyze the complexity of the racial tensions in the American West. The plot presents a narrative of seven pairs of people of varying professions involved in some crime-related situation. The ethnic background of each character falls into five categories: white, Hispanic, black, mixed, and Asian. Overall, the film presents a realistic picture of racial tensions across the present-day United States, where people of different ethnicities exhibit ingroup-outgroup behavior when interacting with representatives of other racial or ethnic backgrounds. The film is determined to elicit strong emotional responses from its viewers, which is evident from the long, dramatic scenes involving critical moments of characters’ stories and the soundtrack accompanying them. Also, the portrayal of a Persian shop owner Farhad as a paranoid individual devoid of strong personality and motivations is bound to spread a stereotyped image of a Middle Eastern man, which is problematic for a movie aimed to show the ugliness of racism. Although the acting is strong and the plot is realistic, the movie’s victory of Academy Awards is doubtful and reflective of the state of the cinematic industry at the time. However, the film has other strong characters with complex psychological backgrounds. For instance, the Hispanic locksmith Daniel Ruiz is a telling story of an individual going through the integrative awareness stage of ethnic identity development. This becomes clear early in the film when the character quietly leaves the house after overhearing an argument between Jean and Rick about changing the locks a second time. Hearing the district attorney’s wife call him an “amigo … [that is] gonna sell a key to one of his homies”, Daniel quietly places the house keys on the counter and leaves the room (Cheadle, D. et al. & Haggis, P., 2004). This act portrays his dignity of being a good member of a marginalized group, which points towards “a positive self-image and … strong sense of self-worth and confidence” (Sue & Sue, 2016). His reaction to being held at gunpoint by Farhad indicates that Daniel understands “potential differences in oppression” of another marginalized group. Thus, as compared to other characters in the film, which strongly exhibit the features of the “conformity” phase (Anthony and Peter), Daniel Ruiz understands his place in American society. Although the cinematic features of the film could be improved and so
Introduction Over the past two decades, many organizations have invested in learning interventions in the workplace. The major target is to advocate for a positive culture of learning and increasing productivity at work. As a result, organizations are also being pushed to increase the number of training sessions to increase social relations in the environment. Similarly, companies have spent more budget on training facilities to increase workers’ knowledge in the market. Despite the constant growth, the adult learner’s job has disparities affecting their power. More especially, changes in the modern space and the organizational culture have significantly affected employees’ environment. In essence, strategies such as training and workshops have been put in place by human resources developers to solve the problem. Factors that Cause Disparities in Workplace Many factors have caused the present challenges at work in most organizations in the world. Occupation inequality is the central issue that is affecting the workers (Botwinick, 2018). Many organizations have found it hard to solve these problems because it has currently become a mindset issue. For example, many employees have the perspective that some of the jobs belong to females or males. Employment inequality is mainly caused by gender inequality, unequal pay, and racial discrimination. Therefore, the three aforementioned factors highly contribute to the current challenges at work. Gender Inequality Gender inequality is a problem that started in ancient times. The bias related to gender began in the old times and only escalated in the current world. Research by Ntayi (2020) has affirmed that the commentary and studies on gender have been on the rise over the past few years. The problem has affected not only the employees but also the other sections of the economy such as the employment section. For example, families have been affected by gender bias resulting from the employment sector and society level. Despite the time, society is still troubled by the major causes of the existing occupation inequality in the job place. Therefore, the adverse impacts of the bias continue being on the rise as the issue remains unsolved. Many factors contribute to gender discrimination in various sectors of the economy. The history of recruitment has affected the current mindset of human resources managers. For instance, a higher percentage of organizations have separated the jobs awarded to women and men (Nachmias & Caven, 2019). As a result, women continue being marginalized in the job selection process. Research has affirmed that it is very rare to find women in technical jobs. Therefore, the issue of gender inequality at workplace continues to multiply because of these mindsets. Unequal Pay Equal pay is among the agendas which both the developing and developed economies have been debating. Men are highly paid in most of technical jobs as opposed to women. For instance, research by Ab
