The United States declared independence on 4th July 1776. Being an independent state, one of the dreams they had at that time was for its citizens to live in freedom and have equal opportunity in all aspects of life. They believed that all men and women are equal, and that the Creator has endowed them with equal rights. The question as to whether the United States has lived up to the promise of liberty and opportunity for all its citizens can be analyzed by critically looking into a number of issues that the United States is currently facing. These include the following: Do all citizens have access to basic necessities? Do all citizens have the right to own property? Do we have a right to decide what is right for our children or does the government dictate for us through the school systems and Planned Parenthood? Do we have a gap between the poor and the rich? Are government policies put forth for the benefit of all citizens or just for a few elites? And, is modernization threatening the dream the United States once had? From my point of view, the United States has failed to live up to the promise of liberty and opportunity for all its citizens. Looking at its economy, which is currently in crisis, there are rising income inequalities and rising unemployment rates. With such a scenario, citizens have limited choices to exercise their freedom, for instance in choosing where to live, which school to take their children, or which hospital to seek treatment. To my view, is against the dream of equal opportunity for all that the United States had at the time of declaration of independence. Another issue that threatens the freedom of US citizens is war and terror. The US citizens have lived in constant fear of war and terror following the attack of 11th September 2001. It is evident from the huge investment they are putting together to counter war and crime that this issue has certainly threatened their freedom. Modernization has brought about a change in the behavior of people. With these changes, most people desire to do things that the constitution of the US deem illegal. For example, let us look at prostitution. There are people who believe that it is there right; but unless the constitution is amended, the practice remains unlawful to the government. Thus, with the ever-changing behavioral needs of people due to modernization verses the law of the State, which is rather static, citizens have been deprived off their freedom in one way or the other. Political interference is also a factor depriving the citizen’s liberty they so hoped for. For instance, the two political parties in t

Liu Dapeng, Sun Yat-sen, and Tang Qunying Thoughts The Chinese Revolution is famous because it lasted for an extremely long time, and covered numerous territories. China’s bizarre feature during the 1980s refers to the coexistence of capitalism and communism. Conventionally, the revolution began with the 1839 Opium War and came to an end after Mao Zedong died in the year 1976. Considering that the revolution was a protracted conflict, it had few rivals (Bergere 17). These include the French Revolution, the American Revolution that resulted in the 1861 Civil War, and finally in the 1958 Voting Rights Act. It is worth noting that narrating the fall of old and rise of the novel Chinese nation took several decades. Numerous transformations took place during that period. Tang Qunying (1871) associated herself with Sun Yat-Sen’s revolution, which was in denial of the Qing dynasty in Japan in 1905. By then, she was a student and a young widow. She has fought for women’s equality and rights between the 1910s and 1920s. She often grew mad when an elite visitor came to have a photograph of her since the visitor considered her a hero of the 1911 Revolution (Bergere 251). She once remarked to her daughter-in-law that people were extremely different since they did not take into account the people, nation and women’s liberation. She regarded their behavior as sad and shameful, and that they only talked and thought about their creature comforts. During her political life, Tang had participated actively in many activities, and she fought aggressively for women’s rights. Her death was slightly before the Nanjing government included global female and male suffrage in the draft constitution (Bergere 29). According to Yat- sen, China’s enormous size and the borders had inadequate defense, and it was a reflection of the national governance challenges. Moreover, there were no chances for political careers and individual growth. The author acknowledges that China has a certain pattern of feelings and ideas about authority and power (Vogel 592). Together, these feelings and ideas made political navigation from monarchy to the republic, and from empire to nation, extremely challenging. The suffragist Qunying struggled hard for the rights of women, with thousands of women behind this fight. It is worth noting that men never made any efforts to consider both sexes as equal and full citizens (Spence 5). Tang and Sun possessed the talent of drawing public attention, as well as effective leadership styles. The two persons had common loyalty bonds as their guiding principles were against marriage or romance. Assessing their lives is a perfect chance to identify separate and shared women’s and men’s experience in Chinese Revolution. Openness and Reform Policies The development policies in China can only be recognized through using institutional economics’ perspectives (Vogel 29). Therefore, keen attention has to be paid to the cultural, political and historical contexts, where there has been extreme eco
Nowadays, coaching is becoming an important profession; coaching specialists allow people to better establish and reach goals in numerous areas of their lives (Kimsey-House, Kimsey-House, Sandahl, & Whitworth, 2011). In this paper, I will discuss a coaching session I had with a client who faced certain complications as a team leader at his work. After explaining the situation and the decisions about the client’s behavior and its intended impact, I will consider several issues related to the effectiveness of the session. During the coaching session, I provided coaching services to a customer who was having problems with the team that he was in charge of. The customer stated that he had allowed some team members to work remotely, from home, to make work more convenient for them. However, these employees seemed to take advantage of the remote work; their productivity decreased significantly, and it was apparent that instead of working, they simply tended to attend to their businesses most of the time. The client felt that it was necessary to return their performance to high levels, but he was unable to do. He engaged in discussions with them thrice, and their productivity seemed to increase for a short period after these interactions, but then dropped again. Simultaneously, the client did not want to take the privilege of being able to work from home from his subordinates, for this opportunity had been provided to them because of their prior outstanding performance. The customer, however, expressed his fear that their underperformance will anger the rest of the team, who tend to view the days during which the employees work at home as extra days off; besides, the customer was concerned that their poor performance might undermine his position as a team leader. As a result of the session, we concluded that the customer should change his behavior; in particular, he ought to stop perceiving the members of his team mainly as his friends, and should address them as primarily his employees. Therefore, he should talk to them about the parameters they should meet while working remotely, and discuss the repercussions of not meeting them. The intended impact of this was that the employees (who may also have believed that the days of remote work were something similar to a day off and that this had been their reward for their outstanding performance) should realize that they are still at work, even though they are not at their workplace, and that by displaying poor performance they may let down not only themselves but also their team and their leader. It is stated that during the coaching session, the coach should focus on their client as a whole, and take into consideration not only the problem that the customer is faced with but also their thoughts, emotions, and feelings (Kimsey-House et al., 2011). It is important
Introduction Over the years, individuals and communities have considered three definitions of health. First, they perceive health as both subjective and objective concept and its extension beyond the physical realm. Secondly, the definition involves maintenance and improvement of health. The final definition considers the essence of health to human life. The purpose of this essay is to contrast the professional definition of health and illness. It justifies that these definitions are symptoms of spirituality. My definition of health therefore, is the spiritual well-being of an individual or a community whereas illness is the physical outcome or the manifestation of the spiritual poor being of the community or an individual Definition of Health and Illness While scholars have focused on the physical domain of health and illness, it is still a puzzle among the societies, which esteem the religious definition of health and illness. Although several studies have established the relationship between spirituality and health, scholars have not yet provided a conclusive definition of health and illness. Spirituality defines the inner soul and the inherent nature of the human beings. According to Hart (1988), the well-being of a community depends on the behavior of the individuals in that community (p.123). Adherence to the taboos of religion results into a healthy community. Biblically, people should heed and adhere to the will of God if at all their health is to remain ill free. World Health Organization defines “health as the state of well-being in which the physical, social, and mental functioning of an individual or community is in its normal order” (Clare, 2002, p.39). According to specialists, absence of infirmity in the body of an individual is the absolute definition of health. When the individuals do not attain these conditions, professionals consider them ill. Scholars argue that people’s spiritual judgment hinges on their deeds and therefore, they have to differentiate between the good and bad as defined by their religion. The choice between right and wrong is the ultimate determinant of the health of the community. If people’s choice is to do right for instance, then God blesses them and keeps them off the wrath. If the deeds are against the taboo of the religion, God imposes a divine punishment unto them. This punishment may be a form of sickness. The result of the punishment therefore is physical diseases, which professionals fight to combat. As per the Biblical context, illness is the state of lack of harmony between God and humankind. Biblically, whenever human beings infringed the will of God, the result would be physical, mental, or social illness. As presented in the above discussion, harmony between God and human beings characterizes health. The physical nature of human beings depends on their spirituality. As per biblical context, human can preserve their spirituality if only they maintain good relationship with God. Jeremiah (30:17) states that “but I will restore you to health and heal your wounds” (Humphrey, 2002, p.260). Human beings are healthy only if they are in harmony with God. If howeve
Introduction In the studies of Moore and Hequembourg, the problems of lesbian and black lesbian mothers are explored, while it is pointed out that women of color and those belonging to lower classes appear to be underrepresented in many previous studies. This emphasizes the importance of paying attention to these types of families (Moore 113-115; Hequembourg 743-744). Main body As the mentioned studies show, race and social position influence the “coming-out” process, and it is particularly important for women who already have children. As it turned out, the lower the social position of a woman is, the more difficult it is for her to announce her sexual identity because that means adopting “multiple marginalized statuses” (Moore 116). Being respected in every community, including that of the people of color, motherhood may become a way of achieving a privileged status for these women. In this case, lesbians may give birth to their children when married or in a relationship with a man. The subsequent divorce and coming out becomes more difficult for them since they worry about the way it may influence their children (Moore 118-120). In case a woman realized her sexuality in adolescence, she may come to the conscious decision of becoming a lesbian mother, fully understanding the implications of such an action. Still, according to Moore, by the time of this decision these women appear to have resolved their self-esteem problems connected to adopting “wrong” sexuality, which makes the process easier for them (118). Co-adopting is also more characteristic of such women (Moore 142). Lesbian step-mothers appear to be rather detached from the family problems. For the lesbian mothers who have decided to adopt or give birth, their family is a result of struggling, both with the society and themselves, while step-mothers seem to have doubts about how well they fit into the new household and they need to exhibit unique adaptability to deal with these doubts (Moore 152; Hequembourg 742). This can be also partially explained by the fact that lesbian step-mothers often “lack a legal place in the family unit” (Moore 152). This brings up the problem of lesbian mothers’ institutionalization. The notion of incomplete institutionalization was first used with respect to different-sex remarriages, but, as Hequembourg points out, it is perfectly applicable to lesbian motherhood (741). It is not only the problem of the disapproval exhibited by the society, but also that of legislation deficiency, as nowadays lesbian families lack “legal recognition of their families, terminology to address family members, and support from families of origin” (Hequembourg 751). This is what Hequembourg addresses as “the legal invisibility” (754). It makes the lives of lesbian mothers particularly difficult. It could be pointed out that there exist other “invisible” types of families. For example, the status of nonresident fathers also evokes doubts
New York State’s fair employment laws generally follow the federal equal opportunity employment laws, however, there are some differences. For instance, in addition to state laws protecting employees from discrimination based on sex and gender, New York’s laws extend to gender identity and expression (Pynes, 2013; State of New York Executive Department, 2020). Related protection is extended to an employee’s preferred pronouns, titles, and names without the requirement of any proof of these preferences (State of New York Executive Department, 2020). Furthermore, appearance standards, including dress codes and uniforms, cannot be differentiated based on gender or sex (State of New York Executive Department, 2020). These additions stem from the currently developing standards regarding the greater focus on gender and sexual identity and expression. An employer has a right to institute policies regarding standards for appearance. For instance, uniforms and dress codes are meant to demonstrate the uniformity of an organization’s employees. Furthermore, as is the case with police departments, religious, political, or other group-identifying symbols can be undesirable as they undermine the organization’s image as neutral in these matters (Pynes, 2013). By the same token, an employer may institute policies regarding grooming and hygiene. When developing appearance standards, however, employers should consider issues that may be related to discrimination. The standards should not be discriminatory, for instance, by imposing different requirements on employees based on their sex, gender identity, or disability status (Management Study Guide, n. d.). Furthermore, it is possible to create indirectly discriminatory standards. Such standards do not specifically target a particular group, but still require a disproportionate amount of effort for that group to comply.
Image 1: Krispy Kreme in Power Rangers (Flynn). The concept of product placement has evolved with time and in today’s competitive market environment, brands are exploiting every avenue to advertise their products and expand their customer base. According to Srivastava, product placement in movies is an alternative to “advertisements for better brand recall, purchase intentions and changes in perceptions toward the brands as well as improving attitudes toward the brand” (281). Krispy Kreme, an American doughnuts and coffeehouse company utilized this concept of product placement in the movie in 2017. In this image, power rangers are holding Krispy Kreme doughnuts as a marketing strategy. This association worked well because some scenes in the movie naturally weave into the Krispy Kreme brand making it part of the filming. For instance, in one scene, rangers are seen training inside one of the company’s local stores. In another instance, Billy, th
Introduction Long ago pottery was a common art and craft that many people were practicing; however it is not so popular today, as many countries referred to mass-production methods that allowed them to meet domestic and export needs rather quickly (Gale 3). The representatives of the general public got used to this, and they usually prefer to go to huge markets when they want to buy something. A part of them even do not know that pottery is the notion that is utilized also to define the final objects made by the potters and the material used in making different kinds of pottery-ware. It is found in the form of clay beneath the ground that can be baked and crafted into many different tools. For example, some nations have been using this clay in making pots, plates, cups, and water bottles. It’s also utilized in the construction industry; housing or commercial buildings. The potter crafts the clay by hand, or by using a machine known as a potter’s wheel, then he dries the object and uses high heat to make it solid and ready for exploitation (Franz 5). The final product is called “vitreous; it means that it can hold water” (Bryk para. 3). People were using clay in crafting products for a very long time. For example, in Egypt, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa this kind of clay has been used since 5000 B.C. With the help of the baked clay people produced all types of pottery that was necessary to their everyday life, mostly cookware. This pottery was discovered as a profession soon after it was fond out that fire as heat is needed in the process. Ancient nations used pottery prior to any literate-cultures. Nowadays, potters are free to use numerous types of clay bodies, but three main ones became known to the craftsmen long ago. Earthenware does not require high temperature and can be made of any color. Except for that, its unique feature is porousness, which presupposes that it rather easy to break. Stoneware can be seen in the same palette, but it is much stronger even though the surface is coarse. Porcelain seems to be the most attractive clay for the general public because the objects made of it are hard, smooth and white (“Types of Clay Bodies” para. 7). Still, it is critical to remember that not every clay type is of the same quality around the world, which is caused by the different temperatures among diverse regions. At that point, pottery became a part only of some nations’ cultures, such as in Saudi Arabia. In this state of the Arab world, pottery is created in many different shapes and sizes with dimensions that are not specified. Every size and design depend on the artistic talent of the potter and one’s idea. As pottery users, people choose the type of the pottery they need
