The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a pathogenic retrovirus that provokes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related comorbidities. Because of the high rate of mortality associated with the illness, many researchers focus attention on the investigation of various issues related to it, including those of ethical, behavioral, and legal character. The stigmatization of individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS poses multiple concerns in the medical practice as it often leads to the violation of ethical and professional standards by health care providers. The major factors contributing to the emergence of stigma include ignorance and fear (Famoroti, Fernandes, and Chima, 2013). If people do not have enough information, they fill this shortage by inventing false stereotypes associated with something that instills fear, e.g., a disease. Then individuals characterized by undesirable qualities and features that nurture these fears become isolated from society and are regarded as a threat to the collective well-being. High mortality levels, severe impacts on the organism, infectious nature of the illness − these are the attributes that trigger stigmatization of people with HIV/AIDS. Moreover, in the public mind, HIV-positive patients are linked to those population groups that were discriminated in the society for a long time: drug addicts, sexual minorities, women, etc. In the given paper, the recommendations for the elimination of the disease-related stigmatization and discrimination in a hospital will be suggested. The plan for handling patients’ claims, enforcement of legal ramifications, and community teaching will be discussed. Managing Patients’ Claims of Denial of Services The existence of clear service goals and administration protocols may be regarded as the basis for the assessment of possible patients’ claims. When health practitioners are universally required to comply with specific procedures and are expected to achieve particular results during interactions with patients, it becomes easier to handle reports of misconduct. The policies and conduct protocols should thus contain a detailed description of what practitioners must do when managing the referral of HIV-positive patients. The hospital may develop a program aimed to encourage patients with HIV/AIDS to engage in regular clinical observations. Treatment guidelines may help foster the psycho-social adaptation of patients, ensure self-care, prevent the advancement of comorbidities (including mental illnesses), and preservation of sufficient quality of life (Blank, Himelhoch, Walkup, & Eisenberg, 2013). Moreover, in the clinical environment where the treatment of patients with the infection is regarded as a norm, the denial of service is easier to detect because it will violate the professional standards of behavior and will be punishable. Otherwise, patients may be reluctant to report cases of professional misconduct be
Introduction Renewable energy is a goal to which many developed countries strive. A multitude of solutions exists, but the problem is that there is no universal one yet. According to the report of the International Energy Agency, energy trends in the U.S. are nowadays shifting towards mass oil and gas production and export, which undermines the transition of the country and world towards renewables. [1] Therefore, it is paramount that all stakeholders collaborate to find and adopt the most suitable and convenient solutions in order to progress and bring the world closer to the goal of reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources to the minimum. The business has recently become the key driver of change in the matter. In light of this, it is critical to review the contribution of private enterprises big or small to the global problem of renewable energy. Business Solutions for Renewable Energy Tesla Inc. has emerged as a new beacon for those who care for the problems of ecology. The range of Elon Musk’s solutions is rather ambitious. To achieve the goal of the company that it formulates as “acceleration of the world’s

The bible verses such as Romans 13:1-7, Mathew 22:15-21, Acts 5:29, and 1 Timothy 2:1-4 are very clear on the need for the Christians to obey the earthy and heavenly authority since the responsibilities and duties of the earthly authority are an extension the rule of God upon mankind. In the book of Romans 13:1-7 and Mathews 22:15-21, Christians are expected to honor and live within the authority of the earthly leaders and even pay taxes since it is only God who has the authority to judge the activities of a fellow mankind. For instance, the role of Pharaoh in Egypt was to fulfill the desires of God upon the Israelites. It was through his role a bad leader to the house of Jacob that would free the Israelites. Despite the fact that some of the actions of Moses were not welcomes by the Israelites, they had to obey his office which God used to directly communicate to the in the wilderness. David’s hand was full of blood and in one instance even took Uriah’s wife. But God’s judgment was sent upon his household without the help of mankind. Joseph as a leader in Egypt fulfilled the desires of God for later releasing the Israelites from the bondage of slavery. In summary, in the Christian perspective, all the leaders cannot exercise independence away from the will of God who has the authority to hold them accountable for their deeds (Yancey, 2003). The authority that resides in an office established by God is different from the official who fills the role. As indicated in the book of Mathews 22:15-21, the authority that resides in an office established by God is to exercise the will of the supernatural by exercising good governance, protection of the people of God, and using divine wisdom in leading. However, the official who fills this position may have personal weaknesses such as hatred, unwarranted violence, and inability to make sound judgments. For instance, Saddam Hussein and Hitler allowed their hunger and personal selfishness to exercise leadership outside the will of God. It is important to be able to separate the office and the officer who fills the office in order to understand the will of God upon man through earthly leadership. The offices are important in the society since they promote laws and order, love, and unity, especially when the office holders govern within the will of God (Yancey, 2003). As an individual, I fill the office of church administrator. My role is to maintain order and ensure a flow of activities within the church. The thoughts of St. Augustine in the Just War Theory remain relevant in the Church and State. For instance, the declaration of global support to rebels fighting against the amorphous group called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was justified since the course of the war falls within
To portray the events of the twentieth and the twenty-first century I want to create a virtual time capsule that will be buried at this point and opened many years later. Certainly I want to leave something for the future generation in terms of my working activity, life, relations with other people and my own interpretation of this world. My personal activity and everyday life would be depicted in this virtual time capsule. Analyzing everyday life and its events, I would say that I am a decent hard-working American, living in Dallas, TX. I live by myself. My typical day starts with a bowl of cereal that I eat for breakfast over a glass of plain cranberry or orange juice. I drive a Honda Accord. Though not very luxurious, the car breaks down rarely and I don’t go to Auto repair often. Once a month I visit my parents that live in Irving, TX. The ride does not take long. I would have visited them more often if I had time. They live in a small neighborhood. During lunch I go to a Mexican restaurant that is located near the place I work. In my opinion stress at work is much better than depression and having nothing to do. Being lazy and slothful makes me angry. Virtual letter hidden in my time capsule would definitely describe the events concerning my everyday activity and the things connected with it. With Power Point and overhead I may create a document on all the activities concerning ordinary American citizens’ lives. Different video films and certain pieces of art would definitely serve the purpose greatly. Future generations will be able to compare products of the culture and arts with our own products. Gwendolyn Brooks’ book of poetry under the title ‘A Street in Bronzeville’ serves as a wonderful example of the twentieth century art of poetry. (Brooks, 1945) First poetry collection of Gwendolyn Brooks, the book analyzes many blacks’ lives and their oppression. I would not say that blacks are suppressed at present. However they were in the twentieth century. Different individuals are depicted in the book of poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks including sad hunchback girl. Describing various layers of American black society, Gwendolyn Brooks pictures the true life of domestic workers and individuals of different jobs and occupations. One of the most significant topics that Gwendolyn Brooks writes about in the book is her brother staff Sergeant Raymond Brooks. Dealing with analysis of twentieth century architecture I may name Seagram building skyscrapers in New York. The most significant feature of the building is its construction in 1957. Skyscrapers are quite new to American culture because they appeared only in the twentieth century. This is the buildings’ main significance. Art and literature of the twentieth century individuals gave rise to many literary trends and movements in art, literature, architecture, music, etc. Pablo Picasso is one of my favorite painters. ‘Woman ironing’ (1904) is a masterpiece and a wonderful example of art (Mailer, 1995). The picture of a thin woman with a desperate face and a
Abstract Globalization has led to the increase in multinational corporations, demanding efficient and competent employees. Trained and skilled employees are the chief prerequisite for successfully running an organization. To enhance the skills and competence of the employees and improving their performance, organizations train them appropriately as per the requirement. This paper throws light upon the responsibilities and activities of the HR director in any organization. Pre-departure Training The interconnectedness among the nations has constantly been boosting due to increased globalization. Nations are interdependent, and this leads to situations where workers require to work and live in different cultures. The difference persists, and diversity remains due to the variety of languages and religions prevailing all over the world. Therefore, it is essential to prepare employees before sending them on foreign assignments to help them in acclimatizing with the different cultures (Bhawuk, 2012). The HR department of an organization is liable to provide them with facilities like training, mentoring, and consultancy for the given projects. Pre-departure Training is a significant prerequisite for any international assignment. It helps the expatriates to acclimatize to the new environment either at work or at home. This training is mandatory for employees on international assignments so that they handle the challenges and problems in foreign land efficiently. As we do not have an in-house training facility for expatriates in our organization, the employees will be provided the required pre-departure training through an external consultancy. International training is one of the main areas of Human Resource Management. Training enhances the skills and performance and contributes to getting better opportunities in the future. Pro
Introduction Throughout life, almost all people have an opportunity to see a large number of things. Some of these items are extraordinary, but their uniqueness can only be noticed by those who pay thorough attention. The present paper focuses on two literary pieces and one movie as the basis for understanding how many gifts presented by nature remain undiscovered by people due to being not observant enough. The importance of noticing things As each of the analyzed pieces suggests, nature always has something beautiful to offer, if only one is willing to see it. Probably the most relevant reflection of this idea is presented in Dillard’s essay “Seeing.” At one point in the story, the writer argues that “what you see is what you get” (Dillard 1). It is impossible to disagree with this opinion since it is only up to each individual whether to notice the magnificent objects and creatures around or to neglect them, being distracted by routine. The significance of observation is further supported in Heat-Moon’s short story. The author mocks those who consider that there is “nothing in particular” in the desert area, and he writes a “list of nothing in particular,” which is, in fact, full of exciting sounds, colors, animals, birds, and plants (Heat-Moon). By doing so, Heat-Moon denies the thought prevailing in many people’s minds that the large area in Texas is empty and boring. The writer demonstrates that when one’s heart and eyes are open to the world around them, there is always a variety of things to be stunned by and cherish. Finally, a unique experiment shown in Hutto’s movie is a brilliant example of how grateful nature’s creatures can be if humans give them enough care and support. “My Life as a Turkey,” tells a story of a man who spent over a year looking after turkeys since before their birth and up to the moment when he set them into the wild (Hutto). A very detailed account of these birds’ life is offered in the documentary, and many features of living in the wild, both exciting and dangerous, are revealed. All three pieces make a profound impact on the audience, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to detail in order to see truly beautiful and rare things. Even though nature is a “now-you-see-it, now-you-don’ affair,” as Dillard describes it, there is a much higher likelihood of seeing something if one is looking around oneself (1). That is why it is necessary to disregard someone’s saying that there is nothing in particular about someplace or the world on the whole. Beauty is everywhere around, and the appearances one person missed unconsciously or deliberately are “free gifts” for another individual who can appreciate them (Dillard 2). Conclusion Therefore, the movie and readings teach the audience about the richness of nature. It is necessary to keep in mind that secrets are revealed only for those eag
Since the introduction of the first Blackberry Smartphone in 2002, the Smartphone market has tremendously grown from a backdrop of information explosion. Park (2011) claims that the number of people who use Smartphones have tremendously grown to about one in every three adults. This increased the demand for Smartphones heralded the expansion of the Smartphone market. Chow and Chen (2012) project the global shipment of Smartphone gadgets to increase to about one billion, by the year 2015. The increased adoption of Smartphones in the mobile phone market has come at an opportune time because feature phones are becoming increasingly obsolete. Feature phones have traditionally dominated the mobile phone market, but because of the increased demand for new applications among mobile phone users (and the sophistication of software engineering), feature phones are slowly phasing out, to give way for the adoption of Smartphones. Since Smartphones have infused new features and technologies that were earlier nonexistent in feature phones, the factors informing its adoption greatly differ with those that affect the adoption of feature phones. Indeed, Smartphones are able to perform even the most sophisticated tasks (normally a reserve for computers), while feature phones were only able to perform basic tasks such as calling and text messaging. Therefore, from the increased adoption of new applications in Smartphones, the gadgets have penetrated a new category of customers, tech-savvy customers. Considering the adoption of Smartphone is a new and emerging trend, it is critical to point out that most research studies investigating the adoption of Smartphones have done so by viewing Smartphones as a specialised tool, such as Smartphones for clinical purposes. However, researchers like Cheong and Park (2005) disagree with this view because they see the adoption of Smartphones, not for specialised purposes but rather, for general purposes. According to Hutt (2009), the purchase of a Smartphone (for any consumer) highlights an information cascade, which also stems from a decision-making pattern, where decisions from people of influence affect consumers’ purchase decisions. For example, before a consumer decides to buy a Smartphone, he considers other buyers’ decisions (creates awareness regarding other buyers’ decisions) and infers a specific message from what is known by previous buyers (Hutt 2009). Ilyas (2006) contends that the decision to buy a Smartphone is normally dependent on the level of satisfaction a customer experiences when the purchase ends. Before consumers make the decision to purchase the product, Ilyas (2006) believes that consumers experience several cognitive processes including “recognition, search information, evaluation, and ultimately the purchase decision” (p. 4). The provision of feedback regarding the custome
Introduction Having grown in humble and reserved family my early childhood life was very interesting and enjoyable because at least I had parents who could provide everything to me. My parents always emphasized to me the need to treat other people well, more so other children who sought help from me. Owing to my age and lack of experience of the outside world, I could not see the essence of all they told me; instead, all I could feel was jealous seeing my parents share out what I thought rightfully belonged to me. As I grew, little mattered to me about other people, a notion that has undergone change as I have learnt many lessons from the treatment I gave other children. My Life Experience Life as a bully It is one thing to bully other children and another to understand what they go through in their real lives. This happened on my second month in ninth grade. All through my previous grades, I had always behaved as required, owing to the teachings I received from my parents. On entering ninth grade, my company of friends changed, because I considered myself grown; hence, had to change my behavior to fit what I felt was developing in me; adulthood. One thing I never realized is that the rate at which all this was happening was too much for me to contain, owing to the fact that this friends introduced me to many new adventures. For example, I had this friend called Hillary, whom we had grown with from the first grade to the ninth grade although he came from a richer family. Hillary introduced me to the internet something, which my parents prohibited me from because of reasons that I never I understood. Another worse thing that he introduced me to was bullying, of our classmates and anybody we outweighed whenever we were out of teachers’ sight. In addition to physical bullying, he thought me how to use the internet to bully schoolmates and other strangers by sending funny and threatening messages, something that I never though
