Introduction The rapid technological and economic transformation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) attracts the attention of many journalists and policy-makers. In particular, they take close interest in the underlying causes of this change. Furthermore, they want to determine why the initiatives undertaken by the government of the UAE were successful. To a great extent, this outcome can be attributed to the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum who played a key role in implementing various projects that helped the UAE become an import tourist and financial center (Peck 282). This is one of the main aspects that should be identified. This paper is aimed at discussing the leadership skills of this person. Overall, one can say that Sheikh Mohammed possesses such qualities as tenacity, vision, and willingness to create extra value for people. Additionally, this leader is able to inspire and motivate other people who may also want to display their skills and leadership qualities. This is one of the reasons why he attained many of his objectives. These are the main issues that should be examined in greater detail. This discussion can throw light on some important principles that that policy-makers and managers should consider, especially when they implement new strategies. Brief biography of the leader At this point, it is vital to focus on some biographic details that can throw light on this individual. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was born in 1949 (Bennett 15). One should take into account that Al Maktoum is one of the major ruling families in Dubai (Bennett 15). It is possible to argue that Sheikh Mohammed was trained to be a leader because this is one of the traditions adopted in such dynasties (Dunston and Carter 132). Since the age of four, he received lessons in Islamic Studies and the Arabic Language. Later, he attended various private schools. For instance, one can mention the English Language School which was established by Bell Educational Trust (Bennett 15). Overall, this experience might have been very enriching he had an opportunity to learn more about various cultures or countries. This skill can play an important role for a would-be leader who should be able to communicate with the representatives of different cultures. One can say that it proved to be of great importance to Sheikh Mohammed when he was working with professionals from various countries. In many cases, they represented different business cultures and traditions. Therefore, the formal education was of great value to this person. This is one of the issues that should be taken into consideration. Apart from that, he was appointed as the Crown Prince of Dubai in 1995 (Dunston and Carter 132). This event is an important landmark in his career. One should take into account that he assumed this post at the time when he was more than 50. This detail should not be overlooked because it means that he was already a person wi
Anomie and strain theories are very different but related theories of crime. The first of them analyze the link between countries’ crime rates and societal factors (Cullen, Agnew, & Wilcox, 2017). For example, the theory states that in the US, individuals are likely to engage in crimes to pursue monetary gain because the government promotes monetary success while not stressing the significance of legitimate ways for achieving it. Strain theory explains why some groups of individuals are more likely to participate in illegal activities compared to other ones (Cullen et al., 2017). The central idea of this ideology is that individuals are pressured to engage in crime when they cannot achieve cultural goals. Notably, studies do not show support for both presented theories despite their similarities. Studies in criminology reveal that anomie theory is relevant and can be applied to real-life cases. For example, Simmler, Plassard, Schär, and Schuster (2017) report that its concepts offer a reliable sociological explanation for differences among people of various social classes and their behavior. The study supports the hypothesis that dissociation between culture-related aspirations and the means for realizing them can lead to deviant behavior. At the same time, some studies on strain theory show little support for the hypotheses. For instance, a literature review by Eitle and Eitle (2016) reveals that there is a lack of evidence regarding the applicability of the theory’s principles to juvenile delinquency. The possible conclusion that can be made is that explaining the background of crime rates among various countries using a criminology theory may be effective while linking all crimes to cultural aspects is a strategy that has limitations and should be improved.
The supply chain for DIMCO products is quite long. It entails the involvement of the manufacturer, an agent based in the United States, local distributors (wholesalers), retailers in different countries and finally, the consumers. That is the up-stream part of the supply chain. Although it is crucial as it adds onto the value of the product, the chain sometimes can involve too much handling, which may damage the quality of goods. This is putting into consideration the goods that the company manufactures. However, it seems convenient for the company as the products do not necessarily require short chains. The down-stream supply chain is quite convenient for the company. The company, however, employs the services of too many suppliers who are widely spread all over the world. This may hurt the logistics involved and can be quite costly for the company. Advantages of Supply Chain Management Supply chain management is the process that manages both downstream and upstream relationships of the supply chain with the aim of delivering customer value at the most optimal cost. DIMCO’s operations must implement a proper supply chain considering the number of parties it is dealing with both from the downstream and upstream arena. The following advantages will be realized if proper supply chain management is implemented. The company will meet the specific requirements of the customer. This will boost its ranking and good will and more people will associate with its product. Proper management of the supply chain may have much capital requirements in the beginning, but in the long run it saves the company costs and increases profits. It also helps the company to monitor the operations of both the upstream and downstream players in the supply chain. DIMCO may have diverse and totally different business strategies at different levels of the product before reaching the consumer. Proper supply chain management acts as a link in business strategies and plays a major role in the decision making of the company in different
Introduction People make mistakes and it is obvious that people forgive, however, when it deals with medical malpractice, the mistakes are forbidden, however, they still occur. Ybarra v. Spangard is a case study which deals with a specific situation when doctor’s mistake has lead to patient’s injury. Clinical negligence is a very serious and one of the most complicated accusing as at one and the same time the fault of a person is difficult to achieve. Having considered the case study Ybarra v. Spangard, the form of negligence that best fits this case is going to be discussed along with the elements for a claim of negligence found there. Which form of negligence best fits this case? The duty of care is one of the clinical negligence which perfectly fits the situation. One of the main reasons for this is the four elements which are included in its definition, which are as follows, “the medical professional had a DUTY OF CARE owed to the plaintiff”, “the medical professional BREACHED that DUTY OF CARE”, “the breach was both the ACTUAL and PROXIMATE CAUSE of the injury”, and “the injury resulted in DAMAGES to the plaintiff” (Negligence, 2009). In our case, the plaintiff was injured, however, due to anesthesia he is unable to make sure who of the doctors was responsible for it. Being put at the operational table, doctors failed to follow whether the patient is appropriately comforted. Due to anesthesia, a patient was unable to comfort himself as well as he was unable to say about some problems which made him feel pain. Therefore, the doctors failed to take care of a patient while they had such a duty. Are all the elements for a claim of negligence found in the case? Identify each of the four Ds. Before answering a question whether all the elements for a claim of negligence are found in the case or not, it is important to enumerate those elements. Duty, dereliction, direct cause and damages are elements for a claim of negligence (Lynch, Hancox, Happell, & Parker, 2009). Duty means the obligation of a person to
Introduction This study has embarked on identifying one of the major companies in the globe with the main objective of investigating some of the moral problems that are facing it. In this light, the writer identified MacDonald restaurant and has discussed the ethical problems that are facing this multinational company. The criticism that has been raised about MacDonald’s operation in the globe is discussed below. The study will evaluate the ethical issues identified with a close reference to the ethical theories of utilitarianism and ontology. Ethical issues that are facing MacDonald restaurants Macdonald restaurant is a leading food serving the industry with millions and millions of customers eating food from this restaurant. Over the years several issues have been asked about food health. This issue of food health has put MacDonald in the line of fire with many people in the society stating that the brand is catalyzing the rate of obesity and unhealthy eating in the world. The company has been offering unbalanced food in its menu, and the information on the essential nutrients in food is insufficient. This has resulted in a public outcry in which it has vehemently criticized the company for encouraging young people to make unhealthy decisions on the type of food that they eat through its appealing advertisements which target this section of the population. It is evident that the burgers and fries that are served at the company outlets have high calories in them and this has made the rate of obesity to skyrocket in the United States. Analysis of the ethical issues that are facing MacDonald restaurant based on utilitarianism Utilitarianism is one of the many theories that have been formulated in ethics in an attempt to dissect the issue of ethics in society. Utilitarianism is a theory of ethics that lies out that the motivating factor in the course of action that is embarked on by any individual should always be to maximize the benefits that are reaped from the action by a majority of people in the society. A close analysis of the theory depicts that; all actions should be guided by the outcome of their happening in which everyone is expected to do what constitutes the greatest benefit (Little, 2009). From this analysis of utilitarianism, it is evident that MacDonald restaurants are to blame for the spiral rates of obesity that are being experienced in the country. It is the duty of MacDonald to ensure that it carries out adequate and conclusive research on the nutritional levels of its products to mitigate the high levels of calories that are included in their food packages. This will reduce the levels of criticism the company is facing. Analysis of the ethical issues that are facing MacDonald restaurant based on Deontology Deontology is the approach of ethics which advocates adherence to rules and obligations. This theory negates the utilitarianism app
Introduction There are many users of the financial statements of the Australian company, Petsec The users include the stockholders, the customers, the suppliers, the creditors, the banks and other lending institutions, the government regulating agencies, the government taxation agencies, the community, the employees, the labor union, the managers, the board of directors, and others. They will use the financial statements for their decision-making activities. These users rely heavily on the external auditors and internal auditors to give their professional opinion on the truthfulness and fairness of the financial statements in compliance with international accounting standards being implemented in Australia (Houston, and Reinstein 2001, 75). The following paragraphs clearly explain audit risk and the corresponding audit plans. Body PETSEC ENERGY is involved in the oil as well as gas discovery, development, and production business in the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Coast. It has also oil drilling operations in the United States and the Beibu Gulf in mainland China. The company’s Its head office is located at Level 13 1 Alfred Street, Sydney Australia. The company was able to invest in the Mobile Bay 953 lease. It has two oil fields. Non Financial Inherent Risks The Energy Current is the news for the business of energy. The news stated that Petsec oil of Australia had a decrease in revenue to the tune of twenty-two percent. The sales figure this second quarter of 2008 $30 million. This is lower by twenty-two percent when compared with the first quarter’s sales figures. In addition, petroleum production had slowed for the same time period. The company’s U.S. Gulf drilling operations had reached a complete stop stage. The company spent US$ 12.5 million (Ibid). There is an inherent risk that management may close down one or more of the oil wells in order to decrease production and thereby result in the current decrease in sales. The audit plan here is to personally visit the wells and have an ocular inspection.

In traditional Jewish culture, men and women have roles that differ. However, males and females are equal in Jewish culture. Nevertheless, many individuals have misunderstood and misinterpreted the role of Jew women. The place of traditional Jew women is not as low as most modern people assume. In fact, the position of Jew women in the Biblical time is better than the position of modern American women. In traditional Jewish culture, women are viewed as separate but equal. The roles that they perform differ from those that men perform (Greenberg 75). Nevertheless, the roles they perform are no less important. In fact, some of the traditional roles of Jew women are vital in the society. While many people despise traditional Jew women, they perform essential roles in the society, which broadly include familial, business and advisory roles. Many people respect and despise traditional Jew women. On Sabbath days, Jewish husbands praise their wives with songs. However, the wives are not allowed to sing Sabbath songs. Additionally, they cannot perform time-bound mitzvoth. Their child bearing and household chores exempt them from time-bound commandments (Greenberg 75). Thus, traditional Jew women are disenfranchised from Jewish shared prayers and education. At least ten Jews must meet to conduct shared prayers and education. Their attendance to day-by-day prayer services do not add up towards minyan, the required number to conduct shared prayers. On the other hand, it is expected that they nurture and care for future Jews. Hence, most of roles of traditional Jew women relate to the family. Traditional Jew women have to ensure that their homes are kept well. The women have to ensure the domestic environment is appropriate for the family. The homes have to be clean and neat. Additionally, they have to ensure that Jewish law is kept in the familial environment. The women are responsible for maintenance of kosher homes. They must ensure that they light candles to welcome Jewish festivals and Sabbath. Moreover, they must ensure the house is appropriate for festivals like the Passover. Finally, they must follow the required dietary guidelines (Labovitz 9). Consequently, the home is the key focus of a Jewish woman. The other role of traditional Jew women is to perform business activities. According to Jewish teachings, women have an elevated level of Binah compared to men. Binah refers to intuition, intelligence and understanding. Rabbis based this argument on the fact that women are built and not formed
The code of ethics adopted by the American Nurses Association (AMA) is aimed at ensuring that nurses always act in the best interests of patients. For instance, some of the provisions emphasize respect for every person as well as the personal integrity of medical workers (AMA, 2001, unpaged). Moreover, this code of ethics attaches importance to professional growth and cooperation that are essential for helping patients. These rules should shape the philosophy of nurses and their daily work. In particular, they should affect their relations with patients and colleagues. Each provision of this code can have profound implications for the work of nurses. For instance, one can discuss the following statement, “The nurse collaborates with other health professionals and the public in promoting community, national, and international efforts to meet health needs” (AMA, 2001, unpaged). It should be noted that nurses can greatly improve public health by screening people or by telling them about the importance of healthy lifestyles. So, the code of ethics obliges nurses to fulfill their duties to the community. The code of ethics is also designed to minimize the possibility of negligence and malpractice. In this case, the term negligence can be defined as a nurse’s failure to provide care that every professional will provide in similar circumstances (Daniels, 2004, p. 147). For instance, a nurse can act negligently if he/she forgets to screen a patient during an outreach program. So, negligence can be viewed as inaction that exposes a patient’s health to threat. In turn, malpractice can be understood as wrongful conduct or deliberate violation of professional or ethical rules (Daniels, 2004, p. 147). One can distinguish the following elements of malpractice: 1) the damage is done to the patient; 2) violation of professional standards; 3) the duty that was not performed; 4) evidence showing that the actions of a nurse-led to the damage. For instance, a nurse can give a patient the wrong dose of medication. However, there is no list of m
United States’ politics are shaped by the country’s constitution. The constitution identifies the president as the leader of the country. The other pertinent arms of the government include the Judiciary and the Congress. The US government structure is quite unique from other government structures around the world. The political party structure of the United States is an example of an area that is different from that of other countries around the world. The US utilizes a two-dominant party structure with all the other parties being referred to as third parties. Other democracies also use this third-party element in their political structure. Nevertheless, there are major differences between third parties of the US and those of other democracies around the world. Commonly, third parties in the US have less power as compared to third parties in other world democracies. Third parties feature in several democracies around the world including Canada and the United Kingdom. A third party is basically a party that comes after the two most dominant parties. Sometimes a third party might refer to the third oldest party in a certain country. Some countries assign the term ‘third parties’ to all other political parties that exist concurrently with the two major political parties. On the other hand, some countries have only one dominant third party such as the Conservative Party of Scotland. Third parties are rarely successful because they usually lack some of the advantages that are accorded to the two major parties. Around the world, third parties have relatively less powers as compared to the main political parties. The main difference between parties in the US and other democracies is the constitutional limitations that apply to US third parties. These constitutional-hindrances were designed by the framers of the constitution to ensure that the dominance of the two major parties was sustained. Under the US constitution, elections are conducted under the single-member-plurality system. This system makes it hard for any emerging party to win any major seat because citizens usually doubt the survival of upcoming parties. Other democracies in the world usually provide upcoming parties with the same platform as the dominant parties. The US constitution also makes it hard for third parties to survive because of the Electoral College System. This means that even if a third party garners the popular vote, it will still have to appeal to the Electoral College that is usually dominated by the major parties. Most democracies around the world only rely on the popular vote. Therefore, third parties only have to appeal to a single unit in order to be successful. The other difference between third parties in the US and other parts of the world is that the US usually excludes third parties from participation in presidential debates. Since 1960, only candidates from the two major political parties have had a chance to participate in a national debate. The Supreme Court has upheld this system in several occasions. In other democracies such as the UK, third parties get a chance to participate in national p
Introduction The accomplishment of goals and self-fulfillment on personal and professional levels are the things I take seriously. The achievement of both implies that I have a vision in my life and set specific objectives that drive my daily activities and reasoning. The purpose of this paper is to discuss my ten personal rules of success and explain why they have quite a significant impact on my life. Discussion My first rule coincides with the one specified in the video, which is “just do right” (“Maya Angelou’s Top 10 Rules for Success”). The attainment of goals adds meaning to my life; however, it is of paramount importance to set specific moral boundaries for myself. Other two principles are related to the way these goals are measured. I consider an objective attained if I have been able to transform the world around me while putting the interests of others first. I try to stay calm in any situation since it helps make rational and thought-out decisions. It is necessary to consider all sides of any situation while not taking anything too seriously. This approach enables me to achieve success and avoid the feeling of frustration in case of failure. Staying positive and believing in myself are other two significant rules. Finally, letting go of the things easily is the tenet, which allows shifting the focus of attention from my personality to the world around me. Conclusion Thus, it can be concluded that my ten personal rules of success are based on universal and fundamental values. It is crucial for me to concentrate on positive emotions while making efforts to achieve the aims I have set. Importantly, it is critical to act in accordance with my ethical principles to avoid situations when my success may negatively affect the well-being of other people.
