Executive Summary To worthy causes, it is important that as a member of the society, the business entities should give their support which mainly includes donating money and devoted time. The corporate social responsibility emerged in the United State and Europe as corporation became more powerful and then the communities started reacting to their excess power. Even thought the corporate social responsibility has been in existence since the 1990s, its application has increased in the 2000s with many nations developing legal basis for it. Many of these laws assert that the reason for using the CSR policy has two major reasons; to optimize the work of private sector in the societal welfare and to decrease the possible social gap between the local community and the “company community”. The state has urged companies to become a source of welfare not simply for their employees but also for the whole community in general. For this company, the corporate social responsibility is normally stretched beyond money donations and volunteering of time for what it’s worth. This policy has become a way in through which the company basically operates. The company seeks to be the best member of the society by operating responsibly to the employees, the community in general. The operations of the Company are environment friendly and supportive of the sustainable environment. This is the reason the firm invests in the welfare of the organisation through grants, fundraising, community service, scholarships and awards. The firm has made CSR an integral part of this business plan, action plans and goals. Introduction There are essentially three levels of social responsibility that this company pursues.
The human race has a diversity of characteristics some picked from there way of life and some gotten through life circumstances (events in one’s life). This can only be brought forth by comparing different persons. This paper compares two ancient characters at a time highlighting their differences and similarities. Similarities between Medea and Dido Medea and Dido are human. This is portrayed by their characteristics, one of them being in love. The love relationships of the two characters are full of incidents. Dido is too emotional falls in love for Aeneas. This comes out clearly when Aeneas abandons her to complete a mission. In this occasion, she commits suicide. She loses taste in life without Aeneas close to her. Medea’s husband abandons her for another woman. Both Medea and Dido are ancient characters; they appear in the 13 th century that is around 813 BC. All their stories are told as plays – then popular genres. Both Medea and Dido come from royal families. Dido is the queen of Carthage and Dido’s father was a king of the Phoenicians. Medea is a princess of the Black Sea and a daughter to king Aeetes of Colchis. The other similarity comes in their marriages. Dido is married to Sychaeus. From the plays, it is not clear whether Dido had kids. Medea is also married to Jason. She has two kids from this marriage. Medea is later abandoned by Jason for another woman. After the incidences following their low love moments, the two characters act in revenge. Anger leads Dido to commit suicide. On the other hand, Medea plans for a revenge on the person who has inflicted her. This is a revenge of betrayal by her husband. These two occasions portray the spirit of revenge. Multiple love relationships is another similarity found with both the characters. Dido gets into a relationship with Aeneas after her husband is killed. After Medea’s husband abandons Medea for another woman, Medea is married to another man (Aegus) in the land she fled to. Differences between Medea and Dido The deaths surrounding the two characters are different. Dido’s husband (Sychaeus) is killed by Dido’s brother while Medea kills her own brother (Aegeus) and later kills her own kids. After the incidents, both characters relocate. Dido relocates from his brother after the death of her husband unlike Medea who relocates to hide after the murders she has committed. Medea returns to her home later. On the contrary,
Introduction There is a well-known statement that without past world can not build its future. Events, which took place in the past, a decade, or even century ago can be interpreted differently, that’s why it is essential to research history of humanity from perspective of new generations, and their values. Egypt is a country, touching the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, connected with the Arabian Peninsula. This geographical position has a strategic importance for global trade, so, no wonder that today Egypt is one of the main highways for product flows. Egypt is a link between three gigantic continents with the greatest global markets- Europe, Africa and Asia. From the middle ages, many significant trade routes crossed this country making this land prosperous commercial hub of the world. However, after the discovery of the Cape route, a great amount of commerce has moved from Egypt to the Atlantic, reducing the commercial importance of Egypt. In 1869 an impressive gateway was opened by building the Suez Canal, which not only helped Egypt to regain its old leadership position, but also establish one of the first medieval highways. According to Edouard Navillle, “The Store-City of Pithom and the Route of the Exodus” the geographical position of Egypt had to be taken advantage of and construction of Suez Channel was inevitable process. The idea of building the channel did not appear in the nineteenth century, however this idea belonged to Necho (c. 609-593 B. C.), an Egyptian king, who tried to facilitate communications between the Red Sea and the Nile with the Mediterranean. Information about completion of these canals is not found in any sources, however it is obvious that such project could not have been implemented at that time due to the lack of developed architectural and scientific methods. Working by Channel According to “The Natural History of Pliny” by Strabo, before the construction’s work started there was a pessimistic theory that the Suez Channel could lead to the flooding of Egypt’s great amount of territory. In spite of such pessimistic point of view, strategic importance of the Suez Channel was emphasized by many politicians and scientists of the nineteenth century. For example, quoting Bismarck, who said that the Suez Channel “like the spinal cord which connects the backbone with the brain”, it can be understood that this channel was of a great importance even for such leading countries, like England , Ottoman Empire or France 3 . According to Captain Mahan’s words, the Suez Channel “is a commonplace of the ages”. Even Napoleon had predicted the significant role of Egypt as a commercial center of the world, by saying that the ruler of Egypt would be the ruler of India. England had its own imperialistic plans to control the Suez Channel and here is what was written by Edward Dicey: “It is no mere accident that the dominion of Syria and Arabia has with rare intervals, belonged to the Power which held the Isthmus. Given a strong military position in E
The ability to deliver engaging presentations in the formal setting may be challenging for it requires thorough research, preparation, and confidence of the speaker. This assignment examines one personal strength and weakness in professional presentations, along with the methods, and reasoning for improving the later mentioned skills. The one personal strength regarding professional presentations that could be distinguished is the usage of relevant compelling visuals in the slides. Appropriate illustrations do not only help to explain the concept more clearly but also enrich the depth of the audience’s understanding. One of the methods to improve the utilization of visuals would be selecting the graphics in accordance with the tone, attitude, and target audience to which the message is intended (Wellstead, Whitehurst, Gundogan, & Agha, 2017). In the nursing profession, the usage of pictures is specifically crucial, since choosing the wrong image may compromise the integrity of the speaker and mislead listeners in the formal setting. The one personal weakness that needs more improvement is the maintenance of eye contact during the delivery. The ability to establish and preserve eye contact does not only give the speaker an opportunity to interact more with the audience but also increases the presenter’s credibility in the eyes of listeners (Wellstead et al., 2017). One of the methods to improve the aforementioned skill would be practicing the speech in front of a mirror or a friend, trying to look straight ahead without getting shy. Clear and engaging delivery is frequently associated with confidence and knowledge. Therefore, an ability to maintain eye contact with a group of professionals in front of the speaker is vital to convince them in the strength of an argument.

Facts Procedural History Issue As the first applicant received the item that will, later on, be referred to as the immovable property into their possession, the decision regarding its transfer into the possession of the second party (Moore) was considered. The specified procedure was carried out under the aegis of the organization that performed the basic tasks of the third party and arranged the financial issues. The transfer of the property under the new name was followed by a mortgage bond. However, the bank denied its customer the loan after a careful analysis of the applicant’s financial record and concluding that the recent problems in the economic area. Particularly, the bank doubted the customer’s solvency even though the client submitted payment within the deadline set. More importantly, the subsequent application filed by the customer was declined by the bank along with the rescission request. As a result, a legal motion was filed. Holding The key reasons for the court to rule in favor of the applicants concerned the application of rule 42(1)(a) or the common law ( Moore and Another v Sheriff 2014, par. 68). Accordion to the above regulation, the following concept needs to be applied to the case to consider it objectively and pass an adequate judgment: “mistake by attorneys – order not erroneously granted – good cause not shown for rescission at common law” (Colyn v. Tigerwood Industries, Ltd. 2002 par. 1). It should also be mentioned that the fraudulent actions, which the bank took to take illegal possession of the property mentioned above were related to the infamous Brusson scheme, in the course of which “Hundreds of poor people were swindled out of their homes, which they were duped into offering as security to obtain cash” (Rose, Hofstätter, & Plessis, 2010, par. 1). Judgment The court ruled in favor of the first applicant. However, the decision made by the judge was made after long considerations of the issue, mainly because of the ambiguity of the issue: “However, I found the applicants’ claim that they had no intent to transfer ownership of the immovable property difficult to reconcile” ( Moore and Another v Sheriff 2014, par. 43). Nevertheless, the decision made by the court stated clearly that the applicant was supposed to retrieve the rights for the property, whereas the defendant was supposed to return the latter into the applicant’s possession. The decision made by the court aligns with the basic principles of the Roman-Dutch Law, particularly, the part of it that addresses the issues concerning mortgage (Shutte, 2012). According to the current interpretation of the subject matter in the stated legal system,
Introduction Sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) are a serious public healthcare issue affecting millions of individuals worldwide. According to the reports of the World Health Organization (WHO), over one million sexually-transmitted diseases are acquired by individuals daily. The numbers are truly staggering, as it is estimated that half a billion people around the world have herpes simplex virus (HSV), over 290 million people have been infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), and 37 million people suffer from HIV/AIDS (WHO). These diseases, as well as many others, totaling 30 in number, cause immense amounts of harm to individuals, families, and communities at large. STDs are notoriously difficult to cure, meaning that many do not have the means to afford treatment. This results in reduced lifespans, greater morbidity, and social stigma associated with the diseases. Ostracism and isolation often lead to depression and suicide. Children born in families with STDs are very likely to inherit the illnesses and die in infancy. Although the epidemiology of STDs indicates that the majority of the cases are limited to Africa, South America, and South-East Asia, the number of infected individuals in economically prosperous regions, such as North America and Western Europe, continues to grow. In the US alone, over 2.3 million cases have been reported in 2017 for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis (Harris). The country is notorious for having the largest STD rates out of all industrialized countries in the world (WHO). The report states several reasons for these developments, such as the continuous cuts to the healthcare budget, the rising poverty, the decrease in economic output, and the general unawareness of the population. Combined, these factors can affect the state of affairs even in a large and economically powerful country. The number of underreported or undiscovered cases ought to be even higher due to a lack of awareness and social stigmatizing. This constitutes a major healthcare issue both inside and outside of the US. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the scope of the issue, its racial and socio-economic underpinnings, and propose intervention in line with the core values of the University of Saint Leo. History of STDs Sexually-transmitted diseases are as ancient as humanity itself. The first descriptions of STDs can be found in the scripts and clay tablets of the Mesopotamian civilization, dating further than 1800 BCE. Indications of sexually-transmitted ailments were found in ancient Mesopotamian myths as well as their medical notes and legislative documents (Hammurabi’s code of laws) (Gruber et al. 2). In ancient times, sexually-transmitted diseases were associated with brothels and prostitution, and the most common ailments were chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes. They were treated with a combination of herbal medicine and magic, which was said to exorcize the malignant demons out of the body. Similar scriptures were found in other ancient civilizations, such as ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China. The Mediterranean civilizations are notable for taking a
Running head: DOCTORAL LESSONS Doctoral demeanor Demeanor is defined as the appearance of an individual. Doctoral learners are required to have excellent outward expression as they get trained to be leaders, practitioners, and scholars. It has been demonstrated that the outward expression of an individual greatly determines how he or she is perceived by other persons (Mezirow, 1990). If the demeanor attributes are not pleasing other people, the individual could be perceived wrongly by the other persons. In such cases, leaders, scholars, and practitioners could not effectively discharge their duties because of the strained relationship between them and their juniors (Mezirow, 1990). Various types of demeanor could be demonstrated by individuals in different situations. The following are the types of demeanor that persons could have:  1. Professional demeanor  2. Pleasant demeanor  3. Calm demeanor  4. Gentle demeanor  5. Icy cool demeanor  6. No nonsense demeanor As they get trained in doctoral schools, doctoral learners should be pleasant, calm, and professional. It has been demonstrated that persons who have professional demeanor tend to attract attention from other professionals. This could be important for doctoral learners aiming to become scholars. Scholars who have professional demeanor could attract attention from professionals from other institutions. The professionals could listen to the scholar because of the professional demeanor he or she possesses. This demeanor could also be important for scholars who could be interested in approaching research funding institutions for research grants. By presenting himself or herself professionally, research fund managers could pay attention to the research proposal drafted by the scholar. The research fund managers could give the scholar funds to conduct the proposed study because he or she looks professional. The professional outlook could make the managers trust the scholar with funds for conducting the study. On the other hand, leaders in the military should have no-nonsense demeanor. The demeanor expressed by military leaders helps military juniors to develop military skills essential in protecting nations against external aggressions. Therefore, various professionals have different outward expressions dependent on situations on the ground. It is important for doctoral learners to adopt an excellent demeanor so that the corporate world could notice them and enable them to grow professionally (Mezirow, 1990). Doctoral responsibility and accountability Doctoral accountability and responsibility are essential attributes that should be demonstrated by doctoral learners as they train to be scholars, leaders, and practitioners. Accountability is defined as the ability of an individual to be answerable for actions taken. Being responsible means that a person could be held liable for personal action
The doctrine of judicial precedent explains the importance of case law within the judicial system. It refers to the lawyers’ term for the legal experience. People tend to do things repeatedly and therefore this is also how law tends to behave. If one case has come up with a point of law then it is only logical that a solution will be looked at in the future. The term experience always describes the situation (Walter 1998). What was done before should always be done again and this has to be the starting point in trying to come up with a solution to a particular problem. There is a need to see what examples exist or similar problems that were tackled before. The precedent is a good guide and can easily be followed. The corollary is that people making decisions are always afraid of doing something, just incase it creates a precedent. MacCormick states that to understand a case law is the same as understanding how that particular decision by particular judges about particular parties to particular cases can be used in making of the general rule that can apply to the actions of all the people. Judges need to follow past decisions that were made by other judges in their ruling in similar cases. It relies on the adage, ‘ stare decisis et non quieta movere ’, meaning stand by what has been decided and established’. Fairness and certainty in law is then guaranteed. Judicial precedent is always perceived as the device of the common law. Though judicial precedent is generally referred to as ‘ judge made law’ , the judges simply pursue judicial precedent to avoid coming up with fresh laws. If judges were left to make law other than enforcing it then there would be no democracy. Judges have to protect democracy Ratio decidendi This refers to the legal reason that enables a judge to reach a finding in a case that is brought in the court. It is a binding within the lower courts and stands in disparity to obiter dicta. It involves a fundamental part in the establishment of precedents that bind lower courts in the hierarchy and serves to make an application more predictable. In turn, it reduces the likelihood of the litigation of some issues about the law in the future (Frank & Edna 2003) Coming with reasons for judgment or an order is an important part of the administration of justice as well as the determination of the legal rights of the parties in litigation. To start with, the reasons that underly the decisions that have been reached allow the parties that are not satisfied to exercise their rights of appeal in case the decision is wrong in the exercise of discretion. To add to that, reasons allow parties as well as the public at large to be in a position to know the reason as to why one party and the other one lost. A trial judge should not address all the arguments that are raised during the course of trial but make clear the legal principles that led to reaching of the final conclusion. This enables the final decision to be properly justified at law. Provision of reasons
Crisis and Courage The history of Western civilization provides evidence of cruel and negligent attitude towards children who frequently were treated as property, severely punished or even sold into servitude. Regardless of the remarkable progress of democracy, the problem of social support for youngsters remains undertreated in the United States. Demonizing children’s deviant behavior is the common strategy implemented to justify the draconian punitive measures. While democracies worldwide have already given serious consideration to the protection of youth rights, the legislation of the United States still allows sending children under 18 to be imprisoned for a life sentence. It is important to understand the underlying causes of the youthful problem behavior for selecting the most effective solutions to the problem instead of punishing children who are the victims of the social order themselves. According to Peter Benson (1997), this approach can cause the bankruptcy of social capital (Brendto & Shabhazian 2004). Coping with Conflict Though conflict is a normal animal reaction to the occurrence of threats, people may have a distorted perception of danger and redefine insults as potential threats. The sharp anger as the reaction to any kind of assault is rooted deep in American culture and history. Being exposed to violence at home and school, modern children choose between the roles of victims and victimizers instead of learning how to coexist peacefully with other members of the community. Taking into account the fact that the children’s observable behavior is insufficient for concluding their inner life, it is necessary to understand the triggers and true motives of kids’ actions and avoid responding to their problem behavior with a threat which is a thinking error. Pathways to Problems As opposed to the tendencies of demonizing the children’s problem behavior, the youth trouble makers only try to defeat themselves. Traumas as painful feelings are recognized as the main triggers making children decide on coping or defeating behavior. Developing the sense of their self-identity and looking for their place in the community, children depend upon adults and need their positive responses and connection. Misunderstanding or neglecting children’s needs, adults can traumatize them and observe the troubling behavior which is the direct consequence of their errors. Love and limits are the kids’ primary needs. It is important to distinguish between behavioral and psychological control for teaching children responsibility and self-control paying proper respect to their emotional needs. The Dance of Disturbance According to Karl Menninger (1893-1990), healthy
