Introduction The lack of high-quality skills to forecast staff necessities and operation patterns in many HRM departments should be of concern to the administration. Many concepts related to individual management practices are not fully understood by HRM professionals (Holton and Collins, 2004). This deficiency would require appropriate scientific assistance and consensus-building to be properly addressed. Data on various topics which is vital in making informed HRM decisions has been collected to provide the outlined recommendations. Several other recommendations are outlined to aid the management to make decisions pertaining to HRM systems and practices. The company should save administration information on the number of its workforce. The profile of the staff should be available for the management to formulate the necessary measures to make the systems more proficient. For this purpose, an automated digital register should be developed and be frequently updated. Details on the age of the recruits, sex, credentials, working experience and the profession history of employees should be recorded in the register (Lutta and Hatala, 2009). Such information enables the organization to make decisions on how to promote employees based on skill, and give a valid conclusion on how the payroll will appear. This will enable the forecasting of general gross salary implications in different situations. Although information and software are available in the organization’s departments, skills for making use of the data are wanting. Training the local staff on broader issues than the basic use of the systems is significantly imperative (Lutta and Hatala, 2009). Career improvement issues should also be addressed in this training alongside planning for the employees. The organization therefore needs to re-examine the practical requirement of the records for the efficient operation of the practices in HRM and its systems. For the organization to have useful and highly motivated employees, staffing and promotion must adopt an official approach. There should be channels to announce vacancies and the application of any posts must be open and proper. Open contest should be ensured whenever a new vacancy is advertised in order to match international ethical practices of enrollment and promotion. Though the domestic advertisement of a vacancy may lead to the promotion of an established staff based on merit, the competition that is offered through open advertising proves to bring in more knowledge to the departments. The choice of an internal candidate may be dogged by controversy due to ambiguity in the employment process. Internal and external competition in the department is an ethical practice to ensure that the HRM systems are being run by the most
The language we use in speech and writing often provides clues as to the culture we live in or the one we’re representing. This is true regardless of the author or the style of writing. For example, there is a particular style of speaking that particularly relates to the black or, to be politically correct the African American, vernacular. However, even when two authors are from the same culture, such as Langston Hughes and Roger Abraham, the language used can be quite different, reflecting changes in the region, time, or other factors. This can be seen most clearly when comparing poems by these authors that are using as their subject the same theme, such as “Sinking of the Titanic” by Langston Hughes and “Shine and the Titanic” by Roger Abraham. In both poems, the main character is a black man named Shine who works in the boiler room of the Titanic and attempts to inform the captain of the impending disaster. His words are disregarded as the captain insists the ship has enough pumps to free the ship of water but does not realize the extent of the damage. When this is finally realized, Shine has already jumped overboard to begin swimming for shore. Several characters in both poems call out for Shine to come to help them, all of whom he turns down as he makes his way to safety, primarily as a result of their inability to offer him anything of value on the open water. In the end, the news of the Titanic’s sinking is spread about as a great tragedy through the land while Shine is seen to be drinking heavily somewhere. While the storyline and the characters are very similar in both poems, Hughes’ poem is intended to be a parody of Abraham’s, the language is much different, perhaps reflecting the difference between a cultured and educated man and an uneducated one unconcerned with white opinions. Abraham’s poem is much more carnal, conce
Outline This is an essay that discusses the problems faced by members of a family in connection with their relocation to a new place. They face a lot of problems before and after the relocation. The family includes an adolescent girl. Her problems are the main issue for the family. There are physical as well as psychological problems connected with relocation. This essay focuses on psychological problems, and it also suggests certain solutions for overcoming such problems. Introduction The term relocation means shifting from one place to another. It is very simple to define the term. The real problems arise if the shifting is from a place where one lived for a long twelve years. It will be a nightmare for the family, and further, the parents’ fear will increase if they had a junior high daughter. This will cause sleepless nights and various psychological disturbances in their minds. The psychological disturbances can be in the form of stress and anxiety. It can be the thoughts about the unknown new environment and whether the daughter will be able to fit in the new or unfamiliar atmosphere. The main problem is that the
Introduction One of the distinctive and unique ideals of America is individualism and it proponents that everyone is his own master and owner. It was due to Jamestown that spread the ideal of individualism throughout America. This paper presents what are the ideals of Jamestown and how it influenced the civil war and what change ideals from Jamestown to civil war in North America. Individualism as an American Ideal There were many English colonies in the soil of America and Jamestown is recognized as the first permanent English colony in North America. Most of the Americans believe that James town is the birth place of the distinctive, secular and unique ideals of America that led to America’s freedom and prosperity. The concept of individualism which is the spirit of American culture is born in Jamestown promising the progress and opportunities of new world. It brought a new concept like every one is the owner of his own land and it attracted new settlers to America where they can live freely and earn enormously. It inculcated the new ideas of individual liberty that made them to think like every man has the freedom to choose, pursue and realize his own destiny. These ideas were spread throughout the country and with the influence of these ideas the people started to question the British imperialists for actualizing the economic and political freedom. Constitution was framed giving emphasis on the individualism in political practice protecting the individual rights. The individualist spirit was born in James town that persuaded a lot of people to come and settle in America for leading a better life because people were treated dignified. The new ideals with the emergence of James town spread to other colonies of America and even to other countries. It had a role that led to America’s civil war. American civil war which is also known as the war between states held between 1861 and 1865. Slavery was one of the phenomenons at this time in the entire America. People were suppressed and oppressed neglecting the basic dignity of human beings. Negligence of individuality that reflects in the slavery is the main reason for the civil war in America. There were some contrasting opinions between the southern and northern part of America. Southern America has big plantations for crops and cotton. But the northern part of America where Jamestown had an influence had an interest in manufacturing sector, raw materials and production of finished goods. The dominant social evil at this time was slavery and it was eradicated from the northern part. This led to the revolution I southern part also. Southern economy was based on crops whereas northern economy was based on industry. The southern states where crops economy was in force, was in favor of slavery since it had a lot of plantations. But the other part where the industrial economy was at centre was against the slavery. It respected the individual dignity of the people. Conclusion The starting point of ‘individualism’ which is a unique characteristic of United States traces it root to Jamestown. American history is known for the practice of slavery. Jamestown gave a light to eradicate the
Islam is a commonly practiced religion. One of the characteristics of this religion that make it distinct from other religions is the belief in the existence of only one God, with Mohammed as His prophet (WELS Outreach, 2). Secondly, staunch Muslims are known to pray five times a day without fail. Another distinct characteristic of Islam is their faithful fasting during the Holy month of Ramadan, which falls on the 9 th month of the Islamic calendar. Another common practice by Muslims is their annual donation of money to aid the poor in society. Finally, Muslims are encouraged to participate in a pilgrimage to Hajj once in a lifetime (Religion facts, 3). Islam has its roots in Prophet Mohammed. Mohammed was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He was raised by his uncle, Abu Talib as his parents died when he was young. He would retreat to a cave in the Mecca deserts for days and nights of prayer in seclusion. It is after one of these prayer sessions at the age of forty that he reported having received his first revelation from God (Religion facts, 2). Islam is centered on the belief that Mohammed the last prophet of God (WELS Outreach, 1). He gained followers gradually beginning with those from his hometown in Mecca. Mohammed took it upon himself to spread the message of Islam around the world peacefully. Since the inception of Islamic religion in Mecca in the year 610 AD, the Quran has been a guide to those practicing the religion. The term Quran means ‘the recitation’ and is believed to be the verbatim word of God. According to the Muslims, the Quran is God’s word as was given to Mohammed through Angel Gabriel for over 23 years. The Quran explains the Islam religion to those practicing it, while at the same time offering guidance on certain moral issues. This makes it useful in the interpretation of the Sharia law. Besides, this holy book provides details on some historical events, and in turn gives interpretations for these happenings, as well as the lessons to be derived (Religion facts, 3). The Quran presents Islam as a linear and exclusive religion. Muslims conduct prayers and Quran study sessions in Mosques. An example of such is the Mosque Masjid al-Tawheed in San Francisco. This mosque is located on the 1227 Sutter Street San Francisco, CA. There is a mass transit near the mosque, which has a capacity of about five hundred to six hundred Muslims (Alnaseej, 1). The prayer rooms for men and women are separate, with the women having a back entrance to access their sisters’ section. The leadership of the mosque is purely marked by men, as women are not allowed to hold positions of leadership (Alnaseej, 1). The board of directors for the mosque is unelected. Islam has faced a high rate of globalization. The high birth rates among Islamic groups serve to make it the fastest-growing religion in the world today. In Mosques, the presence of non-Arabic speakers has warranted for the translation of the Quran, sometimes through the use of headphones. This attracts more peop
Introduction Human beings are social animals; they need to communicate amongst themselves using different modes of communication. In communication studies, different scholars have developed different communication models. This paper will use a linear analytic model and a simultaneous transaction model to analyze the communication I had with my friend, Steve, on Monday morning. The conversation “Steve, the communication lesson of Monday afternoon has been shifted to Tuesday in the morning”, I said. “Who has told you, is it from reliable sources?” Steve enquired. “Yes there is a notice in the student’s notice board, I have read it”, I answered him. Segmentation of the communication above Effective communication can be segmented into five different stages; the stages must be undergone despite the length and the people involved in the communication. The stages are as follows: Sender In the above communication, the first sender of information was the Communication tutor; he has placed a notice in the student notice board to communicate the change of timetable. After I read the notice, I approached Steve and became the sender at this moment of the message. Receiver In the communication above, there are two receivers, when I read the message from the notice board, I was the receiver of the message, the message was sent to the entire class and me being part of the class, I was an appropriate receiver. After I got the message, I explained it to Steve who had not seen the notice. When I am explaining the situation, Steve is the receiver of the message. Message In the communication, the message that was sent by the tutor and to Steve was the same that communication classes have been shifted from Monday to Tuesday. The clarity of the message is important, as it is an important part of the entire system. It should be easy to understand. Encoding The conversion has two stages of encoding, there is how I got the information from the notice board and read it to get sense out of it. I understood and kept the information in my memory. When I told Steve what I had seen on the notice board, his mental system interpolated my words to give them sense. He was then able to understand me. His understanding can be seen in how he enquired about the source of the information likely to show the importance that the message had on him. Decoding When the teacher decided to change the class timetable, he decoded the mental decision into wri
Criminological Theory and Its Author Donald Lindsley is rightfully considered to be one of the most renowned and influential psychologists of the 20 th century. He made numerous inventions regarding the human electroencephalogram, neurophysiological aspects of human body and behavior, and explored the cortical functions in addition to human brain mechanisms. Numerous researchers in the field of physiology and psychology believe that Lindsley should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. He discovered the reticular activating system which became one of the essential findings regarding the brain function and neuroscience. Over the course of his research, Lindsley developed a behavioral theory that was based on arousal-seeking attitudes. The core aspects of this theory became popular among sociologists, psychologists, and criminologists. The basics of the arousal-seeking behavioral theory were outlined by Lindsey and then complemented by his adepts and other psychologists. The key supposition of the theory is that due to particular environmental or genetic motives, the response to various external stimuli may be diverse in different people (Siegel, 2015). According to the arousal theory, if an individual does not reach a sufficient level of arousal, they become bored. On the other hand, if there is too much arousal, the individual may become rather anxious. In turn, excessive anxiousness may lead to sensation-seeking behaviors (Wagner, 2013). Therefore, Lindsley claimed that sensation-seeking individuals are predisposed to the manifestation of deviant behaviors both environmentally and biologically. Application of the Theory The criminological theory of arousal is usually applied when the crime is based on the feeling of sensation. These individuals can be characterized as crime prone due to their environmental and biological predilection to illicit activities (Hirschi, 2011). As it has been mentioned earlier, the key premise is the feeling of boredom and desire to live a thrilling life. It is important that the criminals that relate to the arousal theory do not expect to gain any financial profit as a result of their delinquent behavior. Nonetheless, if there is a possibility to obtain any assets, the criminals will gladly accept it. The arousal theory is commonly applied when the criminals are triggered by their perception of self-fulfillment. The notion of sensationalism is inextricably linked to the arousal theory as it is defined by a number of novel and thrilling experiences. Moreover, the wrongdoer is affected by the risks that are connected to the “experience” (i
This tweet is about being relaxed even if aging begins as it is not something dramatic and terrible. Indeed, the period of aging can be much more comfortable and pleasant if a person approaches it with acceptance and understanding. I think that the tweet is supported by the evidence from Cashion (2019), namely, the author’s idea about developmental psychology. Considering that adults generated a lot of experience and knowledge and overcame various challenges, it can help them to catch Zen while aging. Finding a balance between one’s body and mind is one more piece of advice. Although wrinkles appear, and hair becomes thinner, appearance can be corrected if it would improve the well-being of a person. At the same time, being with God ensures a spiritual factor of aging, which supports a person in decision-making and problem-solving. This tweet highlights the importance of finding oneself to be happy, be it a family, profession, or any other area that makes a person satisfied with his or her life. It seems that the main idea of this tweet is finding personal happiness to create harmonious relationships. In case of emergency, it is required to put an oxygen mask on yourself first and then on a child since it would be extremely difficult for this child to survive independently. The tweet teaches that adolescence and younger adulthood are the periods with the greatest number of opportunities and potential. I believe that the greater the investment in one’s development, the more successful aging would come. As for the future, it is possible to recommend remaining positive despite challenges and failures since adulthood also provides lessons to be learned (Koenig, 2009). By focusing on momentum, one can avoid unnecessary pressure and tension, which is useful for self-esteem.
Flannery O’Connor’s “Everything that Rises Must Converge” is a manifestation of racism combined with several emotional indications of faith, grotesque, horror, and subdued tension between generations. However, the visible aspect of the story is racism and it covers the central theme of the text. This is at par with the civil rights movements of the day that dealt with people from the alternate phase of social principles. The socio-economic context is the most important scenario to understand the narrative of the story. It should be noted that anti-racist activities and awareness were instrumental during this period in the social strata of the US and with the deaths of several African-American activists, the civil rights movement was at its peak. A third-person narrator tells O’Connor’s story, but the focus is on the mother-son perspective of events. The son, Julian, is more open-minded than his mother. The mother loves to live in the old days when Julian’s “ great-grandfather was a former governor of this state ” and this “ grandfather was a prosperous land-owner “. Julian is constantly reminded by his mother that his “ great-grand-father had a plantation and two hundred slaves “. (O’Connor, 401) Julian has no such prejudice and tries to control his mother’s hateful attitudes. However, his mother thinks otherwise. She is the face of racism in the story. The fundamentality of this story is a measure of human essence where the major character appears to be nature and the atmosphere. The social norms and distinctions are also a part of it. Flannery O’Connor’s text is a narration where no one in this story is particularly appealing or sympathetic. The old woman and her son are the central characters in this narration and they are opposing each other without winning over each other. The story also ends with a certain message. It appears that at a certain point it becomes the aspect of evil meeting evil. The racist feeling is evil and this evil of white-hating black is the same as the incident where black shows hate towards white. This is the fundamentalism of color and whichever way it moves; it is always evil. The mother meets a black woman with the same hateful nature towards whites that she possesses against blacks. The fact that Julian failed to save her mother at the end indicates that evil only generates evil and this approach makes the story very rude and the narration becomes a merciless text. Julian appears to be a figure of humane beliefs that the author presented as pacification between the two conflicting colors. A
Introduction Good leadership qualities are essential in modern organizations because leaders influence people to do things willingly and with high standards beyond their norm. It also entails serving an organization or a group within it. Unproductive leaders have a notion that their team must serve them because they take leadership for their personal gain, rather than a chance to serve the organization and more and the team. This paper focuses on development of leadership qualities, and the importance of the topic in the port environment. Development of Leadership Qualities Leadership is a unique role because it is concerned with responsibility of a group of people or a team. As compared to other capabilities where a person acquires skills and knowledge, leadership is different because it requires emotional strengths and good behaviors. A winning management is not only concerned with assigning tasks to the group, but also having a leader who can motivate them to accomplish organization goals and reach their full potential. Many teams in an organization want to be directed by a leader who has a clear direction, and to be that kind of a person, there are many things that aspiring leaders need to be, know and do. Many organizations expect their leaders to be high performers, turn around the organization, and persuade team members. A leader must first know how to lead himself so that he can be a good leader to others (Maglen, Hopkins, & Burke, 2001). As a professional career, ports business involves many activities such as handling cargos, working with cranes and forklifts and hence, there is a need to develop good leadership qualities to build an affective team. Handling cargos than contains many items such as grains, fuels, and chemicals is not an easy task and thus, employees need to be motivated through proper leadership. A leader can use several ways to develop his leadership qualities in the port. First, a leader must find out what a team thinks about his leadership style. This opens up his eyes and is able to make any changes, especially when employees give their opinions in an open environment. A leader should also listen hard when teams bring out work related matters, give alternatives, and create harmony. Nevertheless, the leader should respect team’s capabilities and allow them to make some decisions related to their work. Sharing leadership within the team members is essential because a leader recognizes individual strengths. Developing leadership qualities is a process that entails focusing on the areas that will enhance leadership skills. Montana and Charnov (2008) suggest that leaders need to be of high integrity, which means a leader must be trained to be honest and take responsibilities in any actions they may take, either as a team or individually. Passion is another trait that demands a leader to be zealous about their work. In light of this, development of leadership qualities in the ports organization is important because it offers perf
