Today, finding an interesting advertisement online does not take much time. People choose something interesting and surf the web to observe available options. In 2020, Garnier Company offered another bright commercial for its new hair food shampoo, saying yes to vegan and nourishing and no to added silicones and weight down (Garnier UK, 2020). It may be easily found on YouTube and used for free. The scenario in the advertisement is not complex and includes a narration about the quality of female hair and the company’s contributions to great looks and a healthy style. There is a clear “yes-no” strategy to what the product can and cannot bring to the customer. The Ultimate Blends line has been improved with several food options for different types of hair (Garnier UK, 2020). Several shampoos are advertised, with special attention to such audiences as women of a young age, all races, and hair color preferences. These females are pretty and confident and use their hair as a symbol of power and pride. The identification of this customer segment may be explained by the presence of several women who demonstrate different styles and hairstyles. In addition to a properly chosen audience and colors, the strength of the chosen advertisement is its main claim. The authors underline the importance of using natural origins to nourish hangry hair (Garnier UK, 2020). To prove the credibility of this idea, several statistical facts are given during the advertisement and at the bottom, 75% of 58 agree or 98% of natural origin (Garnier UK, 2020). Advertisements play an important role in everyday life, and the task of potential stakeholders is to strengthen the message and use all available resources (Bai, 2018). In this case, Garnier uses definite and intriguing vocabulary, like adjectives, metaphors, and parallelism. Bai (2018) also recommends adding rhymes and alliteration to show the position of the company and its main features. When people repeat phrases or facts from the advertisement, it means they trust and are interested in the offered material. At the same time, the advertisement has several weaknesses, the analysis of which should help avoid the same mistakes in the future. Garnier UK (2020) uses fast speed to introduce new aloe vera, banana
I think that I could become an ally of the LGBT population. This group requires assistance because heterosexual couples have unearned entitlements and conferred dominance (Edwards, 2006). In particular, heterosexual individuals did not do anything specific to earn this dominance, while representatives of sexual minorities are deprived of this privilege because of their sexual orientation. From my point of view, this state of affairs is not appropriate and should be addressed, meaning that I could act as an ally for social justice. Edwards (2006) stipulates that members of dominant groups are also hurt, denoting that the efforts to impede, amend, redefine, and dismantle the existing systems are necessary to address the situation. This information reveals that allying with the LGBT population can be productive for the group and me. My ally-ship would establish a connection with the oppressed group and focus on providing such people with the required assistance. An appropriate and effective motto should be created to reveal my intent. It seems that the following statement is suitable: “Sexual orientation is not as significant as it seems.” These words denote that judging a person according to their sexual orientation is not reasonable. A few essential obstacles can affect my ally-ship, and they include social opposition and the reluctance of the target population to change the situation. On the one hand, many conservative social groups and structures can argue against my allyship because homosexuality is not appropriate for them. Thus, it is necessary to address this fact by educating people. In particular, the focus can be placed on the fact that social oppression often results in adverse health consequences for LGBT individuals. On the other hand, the representatives of the selected population can be afraid of advocating for positive changes, meaning that specific counseling should be organized for them to make them engaged in the allyship.

White players are much less likely to be harassed based on race by fans. However, racially charged heckling and insults from fans are common towards non-white players. This issue is not exclusive to basketball but occurs often in the sport, such as in the case of Russell Westbrook and a fan who was insulting him. Though Thabo Sefolosha was found not guilty of charges and came to a settlement over the NYPD’s use of force against him, the fact that the case occurred at all is an insight into the privilege of white players in terms of police interaction. Non-white players are much more likely to be unfoundedly stopped, harassed, or hurt by the police. White players are not obliged to understand or research the history of racism in sports and basketball. As such, they may not have a fundamental grasp of why white privilege is an issue within the sport. Non-white players are unable to be ignorant of race as they often encounter issues that have racism at the source. This is how Kyle Korver describes his relationship with racism in sports before he decides to acknowledge it. While players have the option to be uninvolved in discussions on racially charged problems or hold any accountability for themselves or others within the NBA and WNBA, as it does not directly affect them. Non-white players are unable to ignore certain issues of race as they are often directed at them, whether it is systematic or from exterior sources. An example of this includes racially-charged harassment through social media which many athletes cannot avoid aside from not using the platforms. Non-white players are much more likely to run into systematic or administrative racism than white players. This can be seen through racially charged acts committed by figures of authority that should be completely unbiased, including judges, referees, coaches, and other administrators. Incidents such as racially charged decisions by coaches such as Phil Jackson to place white players before non-white players in important games.
Emergence of modern system of nation-states with the concept of people’s sovereignty is a land mark in the development of human civilization. Of the individual rights guaranteed within the state, some of them have been characterized as basic or fundamental. It is said that human rights are inalienable from individuals as human beings. These individual rights are not to be understood and realized only within the organization of the state as citizen of the state, but as human beings irrespective of their belonging to any particular state. These concrete human rights such as right to life, right to liberty, right to conscience, human dignity etc are essential for physical, mental, intellectual, cultural and spiritual development of human person (Keir, 1968, p.361). So it can be realized that human dignity is the fundamental part of human rights. It is that kind of right which no one can take away from you. This should be included in all of constitution in the world. Democracy is the most popular form of government system. So in a country all of the things are invested for the people. So there can’t have any law or any provision which is against the human beings that why all of the constitution ensure the aspiration of the people. Human dignity is the in borne rights of human being. Social rights place a positive obligation
Introduction Internationally, professionals in different fields have realized the need for continuing professional education (CPE) as a basic procedure to acquire the necessary skills and stay relevant in the job market. Nurses have to participate in CPE practices to boost their skills. Unlike in the past, the demand for an experienced workforce is increasingly rising thus compelling the nurses to engage in CPE practices. The high rate of globalization, consumerism, high technology, and the impact of climate change has compelled the health sector to facilitate practice and services that are modernized to meet the ever-changing needs in the sector. Since nurses form the largest number of health care professionals in Saudi Arabia and other places around the world, nurses are needed to engage in CPE activities to improve their skills and expertise. Nurses are urged to enhance personal development and accountability for continual learning. While considering the fundamental role of CPE to nurses, many countries have set mandatory learning for nurses. Currently, Saudi Arabia has shown significant efforts in promoting CPE among health care professionals. Nonetheless, the participation in CPE by nurses in Saudi Arabia remains to be very low, and no study has been done in Hafr Al-Batin to explore factors that influence nurse involvement in CPE. To fill this void in research, this survey aims at exploring the current practice and the perceived needs for CPE among nurses in Hafr Albatin city in Saudi Arabia. This quantitative cross-sectional survey incorporates 200 registered nurses serving in governmental hospitals and health centers in Hafr Albatin. This survey intends to bring congruent knowledge for consumption by CPE providers to understand factors influencing CPE participation of nurses in Hafr Albatin. The findings will be necessary to increase the participation of the nurses in CPE hence promoting the nursing competence and health care dispensation quality. The survey also investigated if caregivers felt that engaging in CPE missions meets their current requirements and the upcoming expectations in the health care sector. This topic matters now because not much information is available for CPE providers to apply in engaging nurses in CPE practices despite the escalating challenges demanding more competencies in this field. Literature Review Search Strategy This study uses EBSCO databases since it offers highly accessible resources for any kind of research at any given time. Current nursing theories, research findings, and trends in the nursing field were extensively explored to access credible studies addressing the perceived need for CPE in Saudi Arabia. EBSCO is a complimentary research database that offers online interactive retrieval services for peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and magazines among other research materials (Fowler & Davis 2013). Thirty research articles were
Introduction A study by a municipal on the distribution of all companies classified in each enterprise industry was minerals 0.4 %; selected services, 33.3%; retail trade, 36.7%; wholesale trade, 6.5 %; manufacturing, 5.3%; and construction, 17.8 %. Representation of this distribution in a pie chart gives: Figure 1. Distribution From figure one it is possible to quickly observe that the town represented is a town at a growth stage and that is why construction companies constitute of 17.8%. Perhaps the construction companies are involved in building of infrastructure such roads, hospitals, schools and recreational centers common to towns. Another possibility could be that the town is going through renovations exercises due to expansion. However, with regard to the percentage occupied by manufacturing companies which make up of only 5.3 %, it can be assumed that the town is still a young town therefore the issues of renovation can be ruled out. The dynamics experienced by towns is that they have to be centers either for administration, commercial or communication. Analysis of Town Administrative towns are usually built by government or local authorities with the aim of establishing a central and accessible point from which the governance and the development of the surrounding areas can be supervised. Commercial towns on the other hand just spring up mostly due to their position geographically, their topography and their accessibility. For instance a commercial town may spring up between two regions that constantly trade with each other. The regions may be countries, provinces or larger cities. As persons from the two regions exchange goods, it becomes inevitable to establish a central point from where both groups can meet. The established point is always a point that is accessible to both groups. Therefore, both groups can determine days when they can meet to exchange goods. After sometime the constant going back and forth from the center becomes tedious and some groups can begin settling in the center so that whoever wishes to buy goods and services can go to the center. Eventually, traders begin to flock the center and a town is born. The government may soon discover the growth of the town and will therefore seek to regulate this growth and to provide guidelines to developers (Singh, p. 95). Communication towns also spring up from points deemed as being accessible for communication. Such towns include towns established at sea ports, points of intersection of major railway lines or major roads or near airports. Such towns spring up from the need to create amenities to serve persons or groups of persons that meet at these strategic points (Sigh, p. 83). According to Figure 1, the town represented is a commercial center. This is evidenced by the fact that the greatest percentage of companies is occupied by retailers. Retail trade is al
Many people view the world through the eyes of religion and let its influence shapes their understanding of the world around them. Common concepts of good and evil, virtues and vices are often understood through faith which helps individuals understand abstract concepts more accurately. This, however, can present one with a number of unexpected challenges. In the case of many ancient texts, their pages may contain certain beliefs that are harmful in today’s society. Thoughts about power structures, gender roles, and relationships between people as depicted in religious texts often cannot be held to a sufficient level of scrutiny. This makes a critical analysis of certain ideas in religion crucial, the lack of knowledge may prove detrimental to the reader. Taking the treatment of and views on women as an example, in many books their role is rather limited, holding a subservient position to a man. Similar to how Eve was created after Adam from his bone, many women in religion are not the main focus of the narrative. Roles women in religious texts play are often relegated to a few simple archetypes: the mother, the seductress, and an innocent maiden. This limited approach forms an untrue understanding of women in people, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and regressive thought. Notably, women in many religions are closely associated with the concept of “evil”. Women are oftentimes portrayed as inferior intellectually, morally, or physically, requiring the guidance and assistance of men. The Hebrew Bible, as the first example, displays misogynistic attitudes towards women on multiple occasions. One of the morning blessings used by the religion includes the phrase “Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who hahasot made me a woman”, which blatantly disrespects women. In the text of the Bible itself, women are regarded to be the same slaves, encouraged to not study or learn, and generally disrespected. One of the passages is quoted as stating “Happy is he whose children are males, woe is him whose children are females”. Other Jewish religious teachings also connect women with moral depravity, dark arts, and deception. In many instances, women are treated as mere objects unworthy of respect or human interaction. In the case of the Christian faith, some problems are also apparent. The shining example of the Bible’s questionable treatment of women is its attitude towards Eve. The woman is regarded as a temptress and bringer of evil. Christian religion largely advocates for concepts of moral and physical purity, condemning the desires of the body and acts of sexual nature. Women, who are often associated with lust and sin, therefore, are treated as impure and harmful to the traditional Christian life. The new testament argues that women should be obedient to their men and sacrifice their personal autonomy. St. Paul particularly states that women should not be permitted to speak in a church setting. In Islam, expectedly, similar sentiments can be found. Women are regarded are property, standing a level below a,nd male, and best suited for housekeeping and chil
The American Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 was originally intended to allow access to employment for those persons with disabilities at a level equal to what all others enjoy. ADA legislation had a major impact on both the states’ and employer’s awareness level regarding persons with disabilities and their capability to receive access to equal opportunities but the economic impact for those entities remain in question. Apparent inconsistencies between the Act’s goals and its perceived outcome have caused much confusion for employers who believe that the financial burden placed on them is impracticable. The Act was passed with civil rights as its impetus and does not allow divergences of its intention because of employer’s perceptions. However, in practice, an employer could still legally discriminate against those with disabilities An employer is obligated to make reasonable accommodations for an employee or applicant if they are ‘otherwise qualified’ to perform the responsibilities of a position but the ADA provides no definite procedures by which an employer can accurately determine what is considered reasonable. The question of reasonable requires factoring the medical needs of the disabled person with the financial resources of the employer. The courts and employers must consider these factors as they pertain to each individual case. Unlike other discrimination legislation, the ADA dictates that employers and individuals interact. Both are required to establish a person’s eligibility for employment and if the necessary accommodations are reasonable. This dialogue is necessary because almost every situation is unique and complex, not as easily identifiable as discrimination based on gender or race. The individual begins this discourse regarding reasonable accommodations by informing the employer of the disability unless it is obvious. However, the applicant is not required to divulge this information until after they have been offered the job. “It is illegal to ask applicants about disabilities prior to making a conditional offer of employment. An applicant is, however, free to volunteer information at any time” (Franke, 2006). Individuals who are currently employed should approach their employer with proof of how the disability ‘substantially limits a major life activity (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 2000). As a result of the ADA requires that employers may inquire about an applicant’s medical condition only following a job offer, it is impossible to identify and screen candidates considered high-risk to claim a workers’ compensation injury during the interview process. Because employing individuals with disabilities generally entails maintaining a generous sick-leave policy, employers might balance this added cost by reducing the compensation in their sick-leave benefit package. “Employers save money by offering limited paid benefits” (Floyd, 1994). This reduction of benefits not only defers short-term expenditures, this action along with a more stringent attendance policy hel
Overview of information technology and business advancement According to Wu, Mahajan and Balasubramanian (2003), the role of information technology in the contemporary business environment cannot be overemphasized. Information technology is one of the vital tools that are being deployed by business organizations as a means of increasing efficiency and effectiveness in business activities, as well as the reduction of business costs. As of today, a substantial number of firms have adopted e-business practices that are being utilized to discharge business practices, thereby improving business performance. Information technology results in newer paradigms of management that aim at fostering a highly productive environment in business firms (Lindh 2006). The ability of firms to relate with other firms and thrive in the market is highly boosted by information technology (Tsai 2002). However, it should be noted that information technology only benefits firms in a business environment where technology is highly embraced. This means that information technology infrastructure has to be established in a given business environment in order to develop the capacity of information technology adoption in business practices (Ruey-Jer, Rudolf & Daekwan 2008). The question that is often asked while talking about information technology deployment in business organizations concerns the payoff in the business environment in which the firm is located. While information technology is seen as a key driver of performance in business organizations, it is argued to impact negatively on the wider economy. For instance, it results in the layoff of employees in cases where an organization fully embraces information and communication technologies in discharging its business functions (Rogovsky, Sims & International Labour Office 2006). The deployment of Information technology systems in business organizations in Oman According to Al-Wohaibi, Masoud and Edwards (2002), it is quite challenging to adopt technology in advancing business since it presents both risks and challenges to firms. The challenges and risks come from the costs that are involved in the acquisition and installation of information technology systems, as well as the technical issues that result in the continued usage of information technology systems to drive business. The risks and challenges that are involved in technology adoption require a certain level of preparedness and capacity on the side of the firm that aims to deploy technology in its practices. There is variation in the factor to consider in technology adoption in the developed and the developing world. Oman falls within the developing world, with an economy that is classified as an upper middle income economy together with other countries of the GCC like Saudi Arabia (AL-Shoaibi 1998). This reiterates the increase in the economic ability of the country. The developed world is often at an advantage when it comes to the deployment of information technology in discharging organizational functions.
