Major stakeholders in the ethics of food include the producer, the consumer, and the government. Individuals have a duty other than to themselves to be healthy. Eating harmful food can cause serious health problems to both the individuals and the community. Many risk factors causing diseases have a link with lifestyle. The World Health Organization has identified risk factors that may cause severe health problems. The top factors include low fruit and vegetable intake, tobacco and alcohol use, iron deficiency, and illicit drugs. Unhealthy diet choices sometimes lead to premature death. However, in given circumstances, they lead to injuries and diseases that require expensive medical care ( Protein and amino acid requirements in human nutrition 84 ). Individuals should have moral duties to other people to lead a healthy lifestyle. This creates a responsibility to make healthy decisions. The responsibility is imperative, but not always superseding. Normative considerations can trump it Korthals 35). The duty to make healthy decisions follows from the need to avoid causing harm to others. Therefore, personal unhealthy decisions are immoral. They will cause harm to other people by means of increased medical rationing, higher taxes, and higher premiums. The cost of making the immoral decision is partly driving up the cost of medical care in most countries. The hospitals, in turn, allocate the costs to all people seeking their assistance. Not all individuals who make unhealthy decisions are equally responsible for the choices. Upbringing, social and economic status, and geography are among factors that influence most of the decisions. In most cases, the support and resources needed to make the right decisions are often limited. Other players involved in the ethics of food come in at this level. Everyone should have access to healthy food. Producers and the government should influence the society to appreciate the need to work hard to bring healthy food on the table. Some individuals have no ability to fend for themselves due to accidents, ailments, and joblessness. They also have a right to have access to healthy food. A Place at The Table examines whether access to healthy food is a right or a privilege through the lens of three people. A single hardworking Philadelph
Introduction The European economy has been in recession since 1930s. Financial crisis in Europe began in 2007. This was without precedent in post war economic history (Eichngreen & O’ Rourke 2009). After this, there was the lengthy premia with insignificant risk, a sharp rise in credit growth and development of the real estate industry as well as easy availability of liquidity. Financial institutions became extremely vulnerable to asset market corrections. This led to a downturn on the financial systems. This actually toppled the whole structure. This however was not a new thing as it had initially happened to other countries before, for example Nordic countries and Asian crisis among others. Just as the 1930s depression was a worldwide phenomenon, there is no difference with the present economic crisis. How did it begin? In the late 2009, investors had fears of a sovereign debt crisis concerning government debt levels that were rising worldwide (Eichngreen & O’ Rourke 2009). Fears were also caused by the downgrading of the government debt in various European states. This made it impossible for Greece, Portugal, and Ireland to refinance their debts in early 2010 as the situation intensified (Eichngreen & O’ Rourke 2009). The Europe finance ministers had to approve a rescue package and eurozone leaders had to come in also by agreeing to another package of money to prevent the collapse of the European economy. The European leaders in addition suggested a creation of a common fiscal union. This union was to be across the eurozone which had to be with very strict rules that were enforceable by the EU treaties. Nevertheless the European currency managed to retain its stability. Greece, Portugal and Ireland were the three most affected countries. This European crisis was caused by a combination of factors that were complex. These factors included things like globalization of finance, imbalances in international trade, bursting of real estate bubbles, slow economic growth rate, easy credit conditions which encouraged high risk bor
Introduction Yves Klein‘s artwork is among the most radical of the twentieth century. According to Karmel, Klein presented an artwork that has remained in the minds of most formal analysts for quite a while, owing to its immense stylistic and figurative features that depict him as a feminist artist. 1 One of the characteristics of the work that depicts him as a feminist is his use of naked female figures in his work. Some scholars interpret the figures as portraying women in demonstrations. It is important to note that contemporary women go to the extent of stripping in the quest for justice. Therefore, perhaps Klein used naked women to portray some kind of protest against male chauvinism. However, his deployment of ‘live brushes’ has elicited a modern debate about feminism. Various scholars observe that Klein violated the privacy rights of the women by forcing them to remain naked at the time of painting the work. Therefore, the problem addressed in this paper is that Klein’s application of ‘live brushes’ is intended to represent women as empowered individuals who have equal abilities as their male counterparts. Women in Klein’s Work Klein uses portraits of naked women to demonstrate feminist perceptions of “the perfect” or “empowered” woman since women have conventionally been viewed as weak vessels as Cullen et al. reveal. 2 The pictures depict women who had been painted with a blue color on their breasts, stomach, and thighs and then asked to lean on the painting material. The images were painted in the 20 th century in the backdrop of the rising pressure in many parts of the globe for the government to embrace gender equality. Because of their nakedness, it is possible to mistake the women shown in the paintings as prostitutes from
Abstract Employee motivation is a critical component that propels organizations into business successes that human resource managers need to factor when recruiting organizational employees and in running organizations. Motivated employees have been identified to be a strong force in improving organizational performance and individual productivity. Motivation, being a key element in organizational management is the basis upon which this report was written. Companies included in the research were Volkswagen, British Airways, and Audi. A common affront in tackling human resource problems at the technical departments of these companies was identified to be a critical component towards success. Among the theoretical approaches for analyzing the situations included Abraham Maslow’s theory of motivation and Fredrick Hertzberg. Common problems identified in these problems included a lack of individual autonomy in decision making, managerial supervisory roles and their adverse effects on employee productivity, lack of incentive programs, transient attention to cross-cultural management, a view of the employee as a commodity solely for profiteering their parent companies, and failure to inspire employees to view organizational success as their success. It has been demonstrated as a feasible to inspire employees with a sense of passion to pursue organizational strategic goals in improving organizational efficiency and productivity. Introduction Current trends in employee productivity relies on a keen commitment by organizational managers in devising better ways of motivating employees to help maintain them, increase their productivity, and their general contribution to organizational efficiency and productivity. It has been demonstrated that employee productivity has a strong correlation to the motivational approaches managers employ in motivating them. In addition to that, various theories of motivation, spanning Hertzberg to Abraham Maslow and newer approaches play a significant role in motivating employees to higher levels of productivity with direct influences organizational performance. Several examples of organizations that have adopted different approaches in motivating their employees abound. Among them include the Volkswagen, British airways, and Audi. Specific to these companies are common problems at their technical departments that require a common affront to solve them. Appropriate approaches to motivating employees incorporate the broader sense of viewing people in a realistic sense, a complete understanding of human behavior and individual aspirations, good and strong relationships with employees, and acknowledgment of individual performance at work. In addition to that, these companies are of a global nature and the need to incorporate elements of cross-culture management
Alexander the great was born on late July 356BC in the capital city of Macedon kingdom. Alexander’s father was Philip 11, who was the honored king of Macedon and his mother was Olympias. Alexander’s mother was the fourth wife of Philip II the king among his other eight wives [1] . The mother to Alexander the great was the favorite wife of king Philip II. Olympia was also from a royal family as her father was a king. On the day that Alexander was born, several incidences were said to have happened in his father’s kingdom [2] . His father received good news that his army had worn in a two combined army war. Also, he was informed that on the Olympic games that were taking place during that period, the winners were his horses. On this same day when Alexander was born, it was marked by the 7 th wonder of the world of burning down of the temple of Artemis. The burning down of the temple led to the conclusion that it was because Artemis was absent confirming the birth of Alexander. All these incidences that happened on the day that Alexander was born were later associated with the leadership quality of him in the future. In his early childhood, there were two people who are greatly recognized by their efforts and contribution in Alexander’s life [3] . These two people are Lanike, the nurse who used to look after him in his early childhood and Leonidas who was a relative to his mother and used to tutor Alexander when he was a young boy. Another person who had agreed to participate in tutoring Alexander was Lysimachus; both of them assisted Alexander to discover more about his social life. When Alexander was ten years old, he demonstrated courage and ambition characters to his father, which made his father to be overwhelmed by joy. This incidence happened when Philip his father wanted to buy a horse from Thessaly trader. Unfortunately, this horse refused to carry anyone and the king told the owner to take it away. Alexander through his intelligence discovered that the horse feared its shadow and requested his father to be given a chance to tame the horse himself. Alexander managed this successfully, and his father assured him that his intelligence would serve better a bigger kingdom than Macedon [4] . His father considered Macedonia kingdom very small for his son’s ambition. As a sign of joy and assurance of a brighter future for his son, Philip bought that horse for Alexander. The horse was given name Bucephalus same as “ox-head”, and his father wanted it to be his sons companion in all his journeys. A time came when this horse died of old age, and Alexander named a certain city Bucephala as away of remembering that horse. When Alexander attained the age of adolescence, his father started making arrangement for his higher education. Philip wanted a tutor who would be of much help to his son, as he had developed high hopes for his son to become a successful leader who would enlighten people’s lives [5] . He igno
Chief Information Officer The job title of the CIO goes to one of the senior-most executives within an organization and he/she is charged with the responsibility of taking care of computer systems and information technology in the organization. This system helps to support the goals of the enterprise (CIO 2008). The CIO executes and manages useful technology to enhance information accessibility. Chief Technology Officer Within an organization, the position of a chief technology officer is often treated as an executive one. In this case, the occupant of this position deals with the technological and scientific issues that affect the company in question. By and large, the position of a CTO entails overseeing the research and development activities within an organization. In addition, a CTO is also charged with the responsibility of formulating long-term strategies and visions for the company, at the officer level (Medcof & Yousofpourfard, 2006, p. 5). The CTO also facilitates the transformation of intellectual, political, or monetary capital into technology, to ensure that the objectives of the company are realized. It is important therefore for the CTO to integrate strong scientific and technical background with sound business development skills. Chief Security Officer In an organization, the main reasonability of the chief security officer is to act as the business leader in charge of the implementation, management, and development of the company’s corporate security strategy, vision, and programs. As such, the chief security officer is directly involved in the identification, development, maintenance, and execution of various security processes within the organization. This is to help the firm effectively respond to incidents, reduce risks, as well as reduce exposure to potential liability in the different areas of physical, financial, and personal risk. In addition, the chief security officer has to ensure that the most suitable risk and control standards have been established, as far as the intellectual property of the organization is concerned (CSO Online, 2008). Moreover, the CSO is also charged with the responsibility of overseeing the development and implementation of various procedures and policies that have to do with data security at the firm level. Chief Privacy Officer The position of the chief privacy officer is normally reserved for one of the senior-level executives who have a lot of experience in privacy policies and laws. The position of the CPO is relatively new and the reason why companies deemed it necessary to create it is to enable them to respond quickly to the concerns of the consumers regarding the issue of the use of personal information. This also includes financial information, medical data, legislation, laws, and regulations on the protection of the medical records of patients. In addition, the CFO is also charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the banking and financial transactions of the consumers (for example, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act). Chief knowledge officer (CKO) The CKO acts as the custodian of the organization’s Knowledge Man
Introduction The development and analysis of nursing rubric is a rather sophisticated, but an important process that is aimed at providing nursing students with viable learning solutions. There are many types of programs and course that are destined for improving students’ skills and knowledge as well as techniques and approaches for the assessment of those programs. The nursing rubric is one of those specific tools that will be carefully devised and analyzed in this term paper. The rubric provides and assessment of the program outcomes and its influence on students’ skills and level of proficiency. Program Description The program under consideration seeks to present holistic care in nursing schools for students to be able to use patient-centered care with regard to evidence-based practice. This program can be considered as a call for nurse educators because there is great controversy between patient-centered care and evidence-based practice (Hasnain-Wynia, R. 2006, p.2). Hence, evidence-based practice, which can also be called empirically-supported treatment, is often based on statistical analysis carried out by special agencies providing the evidence of the effectiveness of a particular treatment (Arora, 2009, p. 2). In other words, this concept implies the introduction of standardized medicine. However, the concept of patient-centered care is based on the recognition of cultural diversity within healthcare setting and on the evaluation of individual preferences (Mor, 2005, p. 334). Learners’ Evaluation The program will be focused on facilitating the relations between those two controversial concepts. In particular, students will be required to select a particular clinical issue or case that caused conflict or problems while providing patient-centered care. Students should rely on the Quality department to evaluate the scope of the problem and to meet patients’ individual needs. Additionally, the learners will have to develop a team for working on the problem and developing a new evidenced-based technique. For this, they will have to cooperate with difference professionals to provide their evidence-based scheme. Once the program is completed, students should provide a presentation on the conclusions and concepts they have been studying and analyzing. Measurable Program Outcomes Active and mutual cooperation with professionals will help student to be fully engaged in the learning process and achieve better results in delivering a consistent program. Working in a team will provide students with better comprehension of the problem. The presented program is closely connected with the quality of patient treatment and introduction of effective strategies to ethical issues. Through the application of this program, student will be able to evalu
Introduction An ecosystem is a community of living organisms that interact with nonliving elements in the same environment. Biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem are interconnected through nutrient cycles and energy exchange. Studying and describing ecosystem processes helps to identify the most important species and expose underlying mechanisms. This essay will emphasize the significance of biodiversity and examine three different ecosystems. The characteristics of living and nonliving things will also be compared and contrasted. Living and Nonliving Things From a biological standpoint, all living things display seven characteristics: movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion, and nutrition (Starr, Taggart, & Evers, 2018). To clarify how these characteristics exactly apply to living organisms, a reference to an earthworm will be given. Earthworms contract circular and longitudinal muscles to move through the soil (movement) and escape the environment that poses a threat to their lives with the help of chemical-sensitive skin cells (sensitivity). This species feeds on manure, compost, fungi, and microorganisms (nutrition) and gets rid of the waste through the last body segment once everything is digeste
When asked about a Hispanic woman, an average American citizen is likely to get an image of a sexually attractive young female who is a criminal’s girlfriend or a housemaid in her forties. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie notes that single stories have a considerable effect on people who miscomprehend and who are miscomprehended (TED, 2009). Importantly, the single-story related to Hispanic females refers to the representatives of the entire continent since people pay little attention to the origin of the Latino population (Turner et al., 2018). Be it a Cuban, Mexican, or Peruvian girl; she will be regarded as a Hispanic female characterized by the features mentioned above. The single-story of Latina women unveils numerous instances of social inequality in terms of gender, ethnicity, and social class. The background for the current stereotypes has been set in previous decades. Bivins (2015) states that media images of this population contributed significantly to the creation and establishment of the existing stereotypes. In the second part of the twentieth century, during the second and third waves of immigration, the majority of Hispanic immigrants did not have substantial savings and were often blue-collar workers. Therefore, they had to take up low-paid jobs, but thousands of people, especially those related to the first wave of immigration, have become successful in American society. For instance, Sofia Vergara, a Colombian-American actress, who created a very stereotypical character in a famous TV series, is a successful businesswoman in real life (Bivins, 2015). The success stories remain shadowed by the stereotypical representations of Latina females available from films, print sources, and advertising. When considering the reasons behind the emergence of such stereotypes, it is possible to refer to interactionism. According to this theoretical framework, the interactions between the dominant group and minorities result in the development of bias and stereotypes (Segre, 2015). For instance, Blumer identified the central role of media in the creation of stereotypes. Films and advertisements promulgate the image of a Hispanic woman as a sexually attractive toy or low-paid worker. Without direct contact between the two groups, specific stereotypes become stronger. The rise of stereotypical vision is facilitated by the misrepresentation and low representation of the target population in the media (Bivins, 2015). In simple terms, the stories about Hispanic females are rather scarce in the American media landscape, and the ones that exist misrepresent the group in question. These stereotypes have a substantial impact on U.S. society and the relations between Hispanic females and other groups in the country. Moreover, the single-story
