Introduction This report concerns an analysis performed for Loving Organic Foods by Diligent Consulting Group. Its main objective is to establish the idea behind the motivation of buying habits of the customers. The information provided was incomplete and so it was necessary to recontact the customers who had earlier participated in the data collection process. The aim of reaching out to the customers again was to assist in the collection of additional data. After acquiring the additional information, the database was made up of the annual amount spent on organic food, annual income, age, gender, and the number of people in the household. It is important for Loving Organic Foods to appropriately utilize the data in establishing better understanding of the buying trends of buyers in the market. Organic Food Industry Description The purchase and consumption of organic products are increasing since the production methods utilize the appropriate farming standards. The development of organic food markets entails the creation of benefits for the producers because their production avails higher income for the commodities they produce for sustainability (Bazaluk et al., 2020). The realization of co-existence requires the harmonization of the business plans and adhering to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) legislation standards (Meemken & Qaim, 2018). Similarly, sustainability issues are achieved through the consolidation of organic agricultural laws which are capable of the facilitation of the international market and trade developments (Bostan et al., 2019). There exists a strong association between the production capacity of organic products and the sustainable implementation of development goals (Bazaluk et al., 2020). Sustainability of the organic products ensures the problem of inadequacy is avoided. The production of organic products incorporates a method of farming which uses little chemicals, unlike the conventional methods. Consumers perceive these foods to be healthier and nutritious in comparison to other foods. This is attributed to the lower contamination levels in them (Meemken & Qaim, 2018). Therefore, consumers purchase organic edibles because of the attached health benefits obtained from the products. Additionally, their production is believed to cause little environmental effect as compared to conventional agricultural methods. This has made many governments to subsidize the organic agricultural sector (Meemken & Qaim, 2018). Many consumers of these products prefer to purchase them since they are environmentally friendly. The target market for organic foods products is found globally. The characteristics of the global market are varied due to the size of the market. Demographically, it consists of different age groups although the adults and the older people are the ones who are mostly conscious of their diets. The market has people with different lifestyles, although much focus will be on those who prefer a
In one of the chapters of his book, The Norton Anthology of the World Literature , Puchner talks about the life of Sophocles and the eternal relevance of his seven surviving plays, as well as their influence on the readers and audience. The author believes that precisely Sophocles’ plays are ancient Athens’s best achievement. They raise crucial topics, including the difficulty of choosing between “family and a wider social group” or taking a stand as an outsider (Puchner, 2018, p. 395). The author also notes that Sophocles’ interest in creating realistic characters is one reason why his plays are still popular among modern people (Puchner, 2018). According to the writer, Sophocles is also famous for his contribution to the Athenian theatre, namely, bringing in a “tritagonist,” technically changing dramatic productions, and increasing chorus members’ number to fifteen (Puchner, 2018, p. 396). While getting acquainted with his tragedies, one usually starts thinking about proper compromise and the difference between being compliant or corrupt. Puchner (2018) notes that more than a hundred and twenty plays belong to Sophocles, and the seven surviving are Oedipus the King , Oedipus at Colonus , Antigone , Ajax , the Trachiniae , Electra , and Philoctetes . Many people read books in order to get surprised by their plot twists. However, Puchner (2018) states that Oedipus the King “is a drama not of surprise but of suspense” as the play’s mystery is not the deed of Oedipus but the particular way he learns about his sin (p. 397). According to the author, one of the play’s ambivalent, ambiguous, and riddling language is Oracles, while its additional essential technique is the interplay between metaphorical and literal blindness (Puchner, 2018). The researcher also believes that, depending on the interpretation of the name Oedipus, this character is either a representative of all humanity or a rejected outsider (Puchner, 2018). Moreover, there are two possible ways of perceiving the play, including seeing Oedipus’ deed as a tragic flaw or divine will. Finally, as stated by Puncher (2018), another confirmation of the genius of
External Analysis Population and Demographics Coach Inc. operates in a number of countries, including United States, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and China; in addition, whilst operating such widespread and successful business in different nations, both the company and the demographics of those countries have interconnection between each other. The United States, being the country of origin of the company, is the most important factor that has close connections with the firm’s business operating strategies. This is because the biggest market of Coach Inc is in the US and all the demographic factors, including the age structure, population growth rate, etc., have links with the sales of the company. The total population of the US is 310,232,863, with the highest population growth rate amongst any developed countries and a fertility rate of 2.06 per woman; moreover, in 2010, the number of women in the nation was 156m, and the number of men was 151m; the following table shows a few more facts of US demographics: Age-structure of the Population (2010) 0 to 14 yrs                             20.2 percent 15 to 64 yrs                            67 percent   65 yrs and above                        12.8 percent Median-age of the Population (2010)    Total                                   36.8 yrs     Men                                     35.5 yrs     Women                                   38.1 yrs     Population Growth-rate (2010)          0.97 percent                           Main Religions                         Protestant                              51.3 percent Roman-Catholic                          23.9 percent Mormon                                  1.7 percent  Other-Christian                         1.6 percent  Main Languages                         English                                 82.1 percent Spanish                                 10.7 percent Other Indo European                     3.8 percent  Asian & Pacific-Island                  2.7 percent  Other Languages                         0.7 percent   Table 1: – Demographics of the US.

Economic Conditions The economic condition of Coach Inc is now in a strong position in spite of some severe adverse effects of the global financial crisis in the US economy and consequently in the operations of the company; in order to maintain its position during the recession period it has reduced its expenses in all the sectors. At peak times of economic downturn (in the fiscal year 2008), the gross profit of Coach was $ 2,407,103, operating income was $ 1,147,129, income from continuing operations was $ 783,039, working capital was $ 934,768, and total assets $ 2,273,844. This performance of the company was quite unimpressive to every stakeholder related to the
Introduction According to studies done by scholars and other researchers, the aspect of leadership style or type closely relates with the particular culture of a country. In other words, countries adopt their own unique leadership styles that match their culture and belief in the society (Hur, 2008, p. 359). This paper seeks to undertake an elaborate assessment of literature on leadership styles that are common in the United Kingdom. The paper also considers two other countries, the United States of America and Japan, in attempting to draw out comparisons in the leadership styles that are adopted in these countries. Leadership Style in the UK There is a tendency among managers in the UK to focus more on generalisation rather than specialisation. It is less likely that a manager in the UK would be expected to be technically the most competent person. In other words, UK’s leadership and management offer relatively little consideration on the aspect of pure academic consideration (Simons et al. 2003, p. 347). Instead, a lot more emphasis is placed on relevant experience, as well as on a ‘hands-on’, realistic approach (McCarthy, 2005, p. 222). UK managers will rarely be referred to using their academic titles, such as doctor or professor. This can easily be seen as a sign of affectation. Acquisition of man-management skills is critical for UK managers in order to enhance their team management capabilities. UK managers demonstrate solid interpersonal skills. These skills enable them to form and maintain very strong teams and work groups. Managers work towards cultivating a close, humorous and soft relationship with their subordinates as a way of making them understand their needs and influence their performance. However, the managers are also firm in their decisions and are not necessarily affected by the closeness with their subordinates (Salis & Williams, 2010, p. 436). In giving their instructions and directions, British managers often adopt an indirect way of doing things. British managers have the tendency of asking their subordinates to offer a helping hand in order not to be seen as explicit. The laissez faire economic background that has strongly been established in the UK brings about an aspect of individualism in the society. To a greater degree, managers in the UK are informal in their practices as far as personal exchanges are concerned (Haynes, Marchington, & Boxall, 2006, p. 226). This is mainly caused by the value accorded to humanitarianism. There is a greater realisation among the managers on the need to achieve greater social achievement. The managers often take pride in their ability to influence and shape up things. In essence, manage
Introduction Ethics is a fundamental aspect that must be observed in all fields (Shank, 2006). It plays an important role in the attainment of progress and success (Trochim & Donnelly, 2008). Clergies are mandated to offer spiritual guidance to the Christian regarding the values of Christianity and spirituality. In addition, they guide Christians, authorities, and the entire public on the values that purport humanity. To accomplish their roles, some clergies, such as bishops, deacons, and priests are mandated to forego some fundamental human needs such as marriage. They, also, work under designated rules which are stipulated to purport good moral behaviors. As a result, the clergies are required to observe these behaviors to set a good example to the Christians. Some clergies fail to follow these rules evoking critical ethical issues in their respective societies. This paper will focus on how clergies should embrace ethics and integrity. Sexual Ethics Christians expect clergies to become good role models regarding spiritual and moral life. Sexual conduct is one of the most crucial aspects that define the morality of human beings. Consequently, clergies must embrace good sexual behaviors to create confidence among their followers. However, various denominations have defined different requirements regarding sexual conduct. For example, priests and bishops are not allowed to marry (Wickham, 2009). This ensures that they pay complete attention to their roles. The church expects them to abstain from any sexual relationship with women. However, some clergies contravene with this rule by having sexual relationships with even multiple partners. In other denominations, pastors are allowed to marry and have families. This implies that they must be faithful to their husbands and wives. Nonetheless, some pastors have other sexual relationships besides their marriage. This is an ethical issue that has impacted the effectiveness and reputation of pastors in the entire world. In this regard, the clergies should observe their sexual conduct to purport confidence and become good role models to the Christians. Materialism Materialism has become a great challenge to people in the modern world. They are craving money rather than the values purporting morality and spirituality. This has been evident in various religions since Christians have embraced this behavior. Churches have become a place where people outsource money (McMinn & Kerrick, 2008). It has surprisingly changed into a business opportunity. Pastors are starting churches randomly claiming to spread the word of God. However, they start these churches to get wealth through church contributions and offertory. Some clergies indulge in corrupt practices which are conjoined to materialism. For instance, clergies demand money from Christians, who want to get their services, such as child baptism and attending burial ceremonies. Clergies have, also, been payin
Reproduction is one of the most intricate and complex phenomena occurring in species, which is why examining it further will contribute tremendously to the understanding of cells development and the functioning of living organisms, in general. Mitosis is one of the two methods that are used on a cellular level for reproduction (Yanagida 3). Specifically, according to Yanagida, mitosis is “a morphological (cell structural) event, and a number of visible cell structural mitotic markers have been proposed, such as nuclear membrane disassembly, chromosome condensation, spindle formation, kinetochore microtubule formation, etc.” (p. 2). By studying the concept of mitosis closer and understanding in greater detail what occurs on the cellular and molecular levels within cells during it, one will be able to approach a more accurate interpretation of the genetic makeup of different species. The first step of mitosis can be described as the preparation for the following cell division. Mitosis starts with the stage known as prophase, which implies having chromosomes organized with the help of condensing (Saha and Begum 75). As a rule, at the specified stage of mitosis, cohesin contained in the sister chromasin arms is removed from the specified location so that individual sister chromatids could be successfully resolved (Li et al. 2596). Afterward, the preparation for the second stage of mitosis begins. During the second phase, which is known as prometaphase, the actual cell division process is set into motion. Namely, at the moment of prometaphase, the nuclear envelope fragmentation occurs. Thus, the cell is split into tiny vessels that will serve as the building blocks for the daughter cells (Ikeda and Tanaka 1126). The specified stage of mitosis occurs at a particularly fast pace since it requires microtubules to assemble and dissipate when being produced in centrosomes (Zhang et al. 158). Microtubules seek the opportunity to reattach as they undergo the process of assembling and disassembling, seeking kinetochores that can provide attachment sites to them (Ikeda and Tanaka 1127). Furthermore, as microtubules continue to grow, they stretch and expand the chromosomes, causing pole-directed forces to stabilize within the cells (Zhang et al. 159). As a result, when the prometaphase, chromosomes gain pole orientation (Ikeda and Tanaka 1127). The described change prepares the cells for the third stage of mitosis. Next, a crucial change in the chromosomes of a cell occurs. During metaphase, which is the third stage of mitosis, chromosomes are arranged in the most compact manner possible (Guo et al. 1128). As the centromeres of a cell align among the spindle equator, the genetic material of the maternal cell is duplicated, which allows for the two daughter cells to emerge (Orr et al. 1086). When compared to the rest of the stages of mitosis, metaphase is, perhaps, the most peculiar one since it involves the process of splitting t
The notion of what it meant to be a black individual in America in 2017 has not strayed widely from what it meant to be a black individual in America in the 1700’s, or the 1800’s, or the 1950’s. As each generation seamlessly passes into the next, our shared learned behavior has not become updated through the passage of time. Both Clint Smith and Vernā Myers speak emphatically and personally about what it means to have black skin in America during a time when having white skin automatically places a higher value on your existence. Each of these individuals discusses openly in their TED talks their own personal and perceived experiences of this adverse effect, and they highlight these remembrances through a variety of rhetorical strategies that amplify the meaning behind their words. Clint Smith and Vernā Myers both argued that the modern American society had to overcome its biases against black people using pathos, ethos, and logos to make their argument appeal to their audiences and evoke an emotional response. “Pathos” is a strategy often used to appeal to the emotions of the audience, and both Clint Smith and Vernā Myers achieve this desired effect in contrary ways. Smith and Vernā used pathos in their speeches to connect with the audience and allow them to also reflect on their personal experiences with discrimination. Smith chooses to capitalize on this strategy by embarking upon a journey with his audience through profoundly poetic language that conjures up vividly relatable imagery. He tells the story of how, when he was twelve years old, he was innocently playing with water guns with a group of white friends when his father abruptly pulled him away from the game in fear of what might happen to his son if the wrong person witnessed this unfolding at the wrong moment in time. An important observation of Smith’s pathos in the speech is his style of delivery, which is quite emotional. He uses hand gestures and rapid speech with different intonations to attract the attention of the audience and make them feel what he felt at that moment. Myers used pathos right from the beginning of her speech when discussing “The Warmth of Other Suns,” filled with heartbreaking stories of brilliant African-Americans who encountered the horrors of violence and humiliation. She almost cried when remembering herself hearing about the burnings and beatings of African-Ame
Summary of the Book Dating is a vital practice since it allows people to know and love each other in a bid to make a happy life. Deal (2012) presented various pertinent arguments regarding dating and paid particular attention to a single parent. This book titled as Dating and the Single Parents has a discussion about dating from how it commences to how a stable relationship is established. Author points out that dating of single parents begins with the willingness and readiness to prepare the children for it. When this vital decision is made, a single parent starts to look for a dating partner with whom he or she dates. A successful dating process should end up in a marital commitment and the preparation of a stepfamily. The individuals reengage and become a part of a new family. Essentially, the single parents might decide to live together and marry. Whereas Deal presents these ideas and their appropriate directions, he not only provides advice for people involved in dating, but also makes substantive basis to affirm his argument. Intent of the Book Deal’s suggestions were tactful as they addressed the issues of single parents seeking new relationships that may lead to marriage. It addresses what divorce incorporates and how it influences the life of single parents. Its preliminary section indicates the self-evaluation of the single parents and their own life. Furthermore, it provides the guidelines of evaluating and coming up with pertinent knowledge about their readiness to get into another relationship. Deal discusses some of the attributes to consider when dating such as its purpose, how to groom, and challenges that can be experienced in the process. He elaborates on how dating would affect a person’s spiritual life. Furthermore, the author provides real-life situations and testimonies from experiences of other single parents and children. Precisely, Deal has also brought out some scenarios where single parents and their children experience challenges as this love progresses. Moreover, he considers how partners match their characters in order to live together successfully. Deal uses the symbolic Yellow, Red, and Green lights as the checklists to locate a partner. The fate of the children is addressed as exemplified in the case where he gives precise life experiences on love that occurs between the individual parents. This love that leads to marriage between single parents has been identified as risky unless a person finds a partner who is committed in fulfilling his or her roles in a new family, especially those related to the kids. In a bid to wrap-up the whole idea in the book, the author gives life advices that concern marriage. He advises on the devotion involving marriage life, and the credible preparatory measures as an individual enters into a new family seeking to bring up the step-children. He recommends a clear understanding between the members of the separate families coming together and supports the treatments suited for them. Conclusively, Deal brings out the expected aspects while considering re-marrying after divorce, which raises the concept of the combined fami
