C Career exploration and awareness plays a pivotal role in the gifted students’ education. It significantly helps students in roles, options, and opportunities that interest them in the field of work or in the community. To some extent, students differ significantly from each other. Some of them are fast in learning while others are slow. Some have gender restrictions while others have social restrictions, which threaten their ability to achieve their goals. There are two broad categories of students. These include; gifted students on one side and those who are not on the other. Gifted students demonstrate some unique abilities in various grounds. This can be through academic performance, reasoning and constructions, leadership or through music (Johnsen 2006). They show capability that is far above other students. There are several challenges that gifted students face in their effort to maximize on their potential. This group of students sometimes comes across several issues and challenges in their effort to achieve recognition, gain acceptance, and access the necessary gifted student’s education in order to meet their individual needs. In order for the students to learn effectively, it is advisable to have an effective learning, which promotes career exploration, and awareness that is appropriate and equitable to both genders of gifted students. Some of these problems include prejudices, stereotyping and other discriminatory aspects. In some cases, some groups of certain gander of the gifted students need certain considerations while programming the curricular options (Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services Division of Public Schools Florida Department of Education 2008). This is because the gifted students may sometimes be subjected to threats, which can undermine their performance or their ability. It is therefore necessary to understand the prejudice and stereotyping that affects gifted boys and girls students. In teaching gifted students, it is advisable for the teachers to set objectives or specify the skills as well as the information to be learnt. This step in preparation of a lesson is important as it ensures that all the intended information reaches the students. The objectives should be set in such away that they favor every student despite of their gender. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the necessary information is given or demonstrated. By so doing, it becomes easier for the students with varying degrees of giftedness to get all the appropriate information. While passing this information to the students, it is advisable for the teachers to take into consideration the gender aspects. The information should be provided in such a way that it does not discriminate any gender of the gifted student. For instance, it should be free from prejudices and any form of discrimination. In the process of teaching, it is necessary for the teacher to verify whether the students are understanding or have understood what i
Globalization is the extent to which information, investments, trade, political cooperation, cultural values, and social ideas flow among different countries. It is creating a borderless world for managers by allowing them to conduct their operations internationally rather than locally, hire employees from different countries, buy raw materials from the best sources, and sell goods in various markets (Samson et al., 2020). Although the borderless world presents many opportunities to managers, it also entails risks, such as information security and cultural differences. A global mindset is a manager’s ability to recognize and influence people or organizations that have different cultural, social, political, and psychological backgrounds (Samson et al., 2020). It has become imperative for international companies because managers constantly interact with individuals with different perspectives. To ensure effective operations and collaboration, managers should be able to understand these perspectives instead of sticking to a worldview prevalent in their home country. The international landscape is changing since China, India, and Brazil demonstrate economic growth and play an important role in global business. For example, China has received more foreign investments than any other place and has increased its number of Fortune Global 500 companies from 16 in 2005 to 98 in 2015 (Samson et al., 2020). While China is growing through manufacturing, India develops economically through services, software design, and precision engineering. A multinational corporation (MNC) is a company, with more than 25% of revenues which come from operations in countries other than the home country of the parent organization (Samson et al., 2020). MNCs are characterized by close cooperation among affiliates in different countries and a single management authority making key decisions for the parent company and all affiliates (Samson et al., 2020). Additionally, MNC managers have a global perspective, viewing the whole world as one market. Outsourcing refers to participating in a global division of labor that enables companies to complete certain activities in locations with the cheapest raw materials and labor (Samson et al., 2020). Exporting is an entry strategy in which the company’s production facilities remain in the home country, while produced goods are transferred to other countries for sale. Licensing is an entry strategy in which the company in one country gives firms in other countries access to specific resources, such as technology or trademark rights, to produce and sell its products abroad (Samson et al., 2020). Direct investing is an entry strategy where the company manages its production facilities in another country. Reference Samson, D., Donnet, T., & Daft, R. L. (2020). Management (7th ed.).

One of the reasons why Amy Tan’s novel The Joy Luck Club is being commonly referred to as such that represents a high literary value, is that it contains a number of insights into what can be referred to as the Oriental mode of one’s thinking, which shows itself in the way of how the affiliated individuals address life-challenges. In its turn, this can be seen resulting from the fact that, even though in the novel the Oriental and Western motifs are being interwoven rather seamlessly, it is named, the former that defines the overall significance of The Joy Luck Club. Upon being closely examined, most of these motifs can be categorized as such that relate to the Confucian concept of Wu Xing (the cycle of five elements/phases), on the one hand, and to the Confucianism-based practice of venerating ancestors, on the other. In my paper, I will aim to substantiate the validity of this suggestion at length, while elaborating on what can be considered the main aspects of one’s association with the Chinese (Oriental) ethnocultural identity. The cycle of five elements/phases (Wu Xing) can be defined as the conceptual basis of Confucianism as a philosophy that promotes the idea that the integral components of the surrounding reality are organically interrelated with each other. According to the concept of Wu Xing (schematized below), just about everything around us can be discussed in the allegorical terms of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. The concept’s cyclical essence is concerned with the actual nature of the relationship between the elements in question – wood gives life to fire, fire fertilizes (with ashes) earth, earth ‘conceives’ metal, metal makes possible the existence of water, water feeds wood (trees). At the same time, however, these elements relate to each other in an incompatible manner – wood destroys the earth (with roots), the earth absorbs water, water extinguishes a fire, fire melts metal, metal cuts wood. Thus, Wu Xing implies that the universe’s building blo
Introduction and Company Description: Mission, Vision and Staff Being a full-fledged company, which has entered the world market efficiently, DUBAL has a mission and vision of its own. Focusing, understandably enough, on providing the end user with the services and products of the best quality possible, the company’s vision does not differ much from a gazillion of other statements uttered by the rest of the UAE companies. While DUBAL’s vision is rather predictable and focuses on future growth, the company’s mission deserves being mentioned as a very progressive one – not because of the goals that the company defines as compulsory, but because of the pace that it sets. As the recent report says, DUBAL aims at “to be the best aluminium company in production, markets, people and results” by 2020” ( Growing stronger together , 2009, p. 3). The given statement shows that the company is able to change its mission based on the requirements of the target audience. Consequently, the company hires only professional and properly trained staff. Description of Operations: The Key Stages of Company’s Performance Like any other company, DUBAL splits its performance into several key stages, which allows for controlling the production process better and, thus, helps deliver the goods of the finest quality. As the company describes the production process, it consists of three basic stages, i.e., bauxite refining, alumina smelting and obtaining aluminum; in the course of the process, 4 tons of bauxite are transformed into 1 ton of aluminum. Therefore, the production process can be depicted in the following way: Diagram 1. DUBAL Key Production Process Operations It should be mentioned, though, that the performance process is not restricted to the process of aluminum smelting, though the latter definitely plays the pivoting role in the company’s efficacy. On a larger scale, DUBAL’s performance can be viewed as a process that starts with searching for the companies providing the raw material to the promotion campaign, which is supposed to attract even more customers and, therefore, allow the company for
Define Population Geography; explain, illustrate AND exemplify the Demographic Transition Model Theory Population Geography Population Geography is constituted in human geography, focusing on the scientific aspect of study concerning people, density, and their related spatial distributions. In this study, geographers focus on the decrease and increase in population, settlement patterns, and movement of people over time. This is related to demography (Qazi and Qazi, 2010). Demographic Transition Model (or Population Cycle Theory) Demographic Transition Theory is a model describing the change in population over time. It was started by Warren Thompson (an American demographer) in the year 1929, based on an interpretation of the changes that have been observed (Waugh,2000). These changes include changes in the rates of birth and death in societies over two hundred years. It is a composite picture of the change in population for these nations as a generalization of phenomena and not individual parties. This transition occurs in stages and not as a single process; there are four stages to this. The first stage is concerned with the pre-Modern times. It mainly offers a balance between death and birth rates. Up until the eighteenth century this situation was termed true for every human population, this was when Western Europe broke the balance. In this first stage, there are extremely high rates of both birth and death in a nation (thirty to fifty per thousand). The resultant balance is slow growth in the population, at least since the dawn of the Agrarian revolution ten thousand years ago (Caldwell et al, 2010). Sweden had a population of 1.7 million with an average of 36 years as life expectancy. Birth and death rates having 40 per thousand, which is remarkably high. On the other hand, China had 1.5 million as its population and 34 as its life expectancy. This stage is also called the High Stationary Stage of population growth. Stage two is characterized by a rise in the rise of population brought by a reduced death rate, but births are high. In Europe, this decline in deaths started at the end of the eighteen century in the northwestern of Europe spreading to the southeast over a hundred years. This is evident in Sweden where the number of deaths declined (43 years was the life expectancy), but births were unusually high thus growth rate became higher, 3.5 million (Swanson, 2009). China recorded a rise to 6.5 percent from the initial stage from 2 percent. In the third stage, the population is promoted t
Introduction The choice of the best school is the eternal problem for all parents. Many debates have occurred on this basis. Public and private schools vary in numerous aspects. Nevertheless, the most significant reason for parents’ choice of public schools is the cost of studying at private schools. Although public schools are free for all students, private schools are better for pupils because of the profound approach to studying and the effective environment for education. The comparison of public and private schools The determination of the best type of school can be rather a challenging task. There are both advantages and disadvantages in the public and private sector of education. It is necessary to compare the schools on the basis of several significant factors. Quality of education The school program and teachers’ qualifications predetermine the quality of teaching. Thus, public schools should follow the standards defined by the national curriculum. Private schools can offer a wider choice of subjects to be taught. For instance, some schools include specific topics in their programs such as sexual or religious education of children. Some parents may choose the particular school because its basis meets their principles and understanding of the world. Besides, the teacher in private schools is free to choose thy ways of presenting new material. However, some subjects such as mathematics, history, and science are obligatory in both types of schools. Private schools demonstrate the better quality of education because of their admission standards. Private schools accept students who pass necessary tests and prove that they have the desired level of knowledge. Such a selection enhances the quality expectations. Public schools have to accept all students regardless of the level of their knowledge. Very often, this fact impedes the achievement of good academic results (Kennedy par. 6). Exposure to violence The level of violence in public schools is of primary concern to principals. There have been many cases of shooting in public schools. Consequently, public schools have to work on their security measures. It is also difficult to monitor the intentions and activities of all students in public schools. On the contrary, private schools are considered to be safer than public. It can be explained by several facts. As far as private schools do not have to accept all students, the risk for dangerous behaviors is lower. Also, it is easier to supervise pupils in private schools because they are less in number. Class size The number of students who are taught is significant for the efficiency of education. In public schools, almost thirty students go to one class. Teachers face difficulty in approaching and engaging every student. The time devoted to the lesson is not enough for providing all pupils with opportunities to express themselves and answer. In private schools, the class is comprised of no more than twenty students. Thus, teachers have the possibility to
Though Plum Creek, a well-known timber company, acquired 9,00,000 acres of Maine woods in 1998, the actual controversy started in 2005 when the company came up with its proposal for development in nearly half of the area (Austin, p. 1). This highly debated proposal received criticism in many dimensions. While conservationists were concerned about potential damage to the naturally wild and beautiful Maine woods forest area, local people were anxious about losing their forest-dependent livelihood. However, prolonged discussions with related parties and consequent alterations to the actual proposal in these two years seem to show an acceptable solution to the problem. In 2005, Plum Creek submitted a proposal for development in the Moosehead Lake area to the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC) of Maine. Plum Creek wanted to start various commercial building activities in the area under the ‘Lake Concept’ by showing compensatory environmental protection measures. With an apprehension over the alleged lack of sincerity on environmental conservation and shrewd business attitude of Plum Creek, local people and environmentalists raised objections to the plan. The main concerns have been a possible threat to local businesses, untoward financial burdens on the actual residents, and damage to the wild and beautiful area with excess development that may even badly divide the wild area into segments (Berk, p. 1). However, the latest proposal after the second revision since 2005 seems interesting by properly addressing the concerns of local people. Firstly, it has considered offering permanent protection to nearly 94 percent of land in the plan area (approx. 4,31,000 acres) against its initial idea of a 30 year no-development zone (Hutchinson, p. 1). This alleviates some initial concerns that future developments in the area will spoil the forest and may render local permanent residents to leave the place. Also, Plum Creek has mentioned in this report that proposed commercial activities would take place mostly around the existing development. It is not only beneficial in protecting the inner forest
Outline Thesis Statement: The essay will argue that the best way to track and stop human organ trafficking is by following the money. The paper uses information from international organizations and peer-reviewed scholars to strengthen its claims. It follows the following outline and uses various sources to determine the best method to track and stop perpetrators of the trade.  1. Provide a background on the illegal human organ transplant trade (Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019; United Nations, 2018).  2. Describe the stakeholders that make the trade possible (Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019; Thompson, 2020).  3. Outline the potential targets for the trade (United Nations, 2018; Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019).  4. Highlight those that obtain monetary benefits from the trade (Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019).  5. Describe various challenges that make it hard to stop the trade (United Nations, 2018; Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019).  6. Outline existing measures against human organ trafficking (Howard & Cornell, 2016, Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019).  7. Recommend new strategies to help track the money using evidence from credible scholars (Heinl et al., 2019).  8. Conclude by summarizing important points. Illegal Human Organ Trafficking Human organs play a key role in saving human life. More than 114000 individuals in America are on the organ waitlist, and new individuals are added every ten minutes (Meshelemiah & Lynch, 2019). Existing organs can only meet about 10% of the demand (United Nations, 2018). The lengthy waitlist and the dreaded outcomes push people to be involved in illegal organ transplants. There is no correct data regarding the trade, though it seems to be on the rise due to considerable profits. It is worth noting that this trade does not involve willing donors rebelling from cultural values for charity. The victims are often unwilling, uninformed, illiterate, and homeless, making it a human rights violation. The trade’s persistence shows that law enforcement’s existing measures are not efficient. The essay proposes that the best way to detect and stop the trade is to focus on the financial transactions instead of implementing laws that define the boundaries of legal human donation. Stakeholders The trade involves a complicated network of parties that make organ harvesting possible. The first person in the network is a broker, the intermediary between the buyer and the seller. This individual also coordinates the entire trade, makes strategic decisions, and is often the first person that the recipient contacts. The broker can be a hospital director, surgeon, or tissue-matching laboratory. Another party is the local recruiter, who identifies the supplier. Doctors are also involved in the operation because they have to perform removal and transplant operations. Arguably, these individuals are the most important aspect of this trade. Other parties involve custom officers, health administration
Introduction Technology and social media have become an integral part of the life of students and educators. According to Asterhan and Rosenberg (2015), teachers use social media for such purposes as academic-instructional, social-relational, and psycho-pedagogical. The platforms used for these types of communication are also different. The use of electronic media for teacher-student communication is highlighted in an employee handbook published for educators to follow (Crosby Independent School District, 2017). One of the most distinctive features of the document is the emphasis on the professional use and the absence of any non-professional links. However, these guidelines can be improved by adding valuable details. This paper includes a brief description of possible guidelines for educators regarding their communication with students. Acceptable Purposes for Initiating Contact It can be effective to enumerate some of the most common reasons for using social media in the educational context. Disseminating information is the essential purpose for initiating contacts (Walsh, Kemerer, & Maniotis, 2014). Educators often need to notify students about some important updates or provide them with instructions. Apart from this, educators need a platform for facilitating the discussion of various topics (Harper, 2018). Teachers encourage students to think critically and apply the knowledge they acquire to different settings. Another possible use of social media is associated with the development of certain networks and ties that can extend the boundaries of the classroom setting. For example, the involvement of students attending different courses or even educational establishments can also be employed for educational purposes. Finally, educators can initiate contacts to receive feedback from their students. The Number and Type of Contacts As has been mentioned above, the purpose of communication initiation has a direct effect on the choice of the number and types of contacts. The dissemination of the information and receiving feedback should be confined to the number of students in a specific class (Harper, 2018). The vast majority of educational establishments have their own information systems. Educators may use built-in resources such as instant messengers or digital classrooms. This type of communication can be regular. The involvement of students in the discussion may also need such popular social media as Facebook or Twitter. These platforms enable teachers to reach larger populations and facilitate the change of ideas (Hershkovizt & Forkosh-Baruch, 2017). Greenhow and Lewin (2015) note that the use of such social media contributes to the development of social skills in student and is instrumental in the integration of younger generations into the society. Time of Day Acceptable for Communications As for the time of the day acceptable for communication, it is highlighted in the existing guidelines (Crosby Independent School District, 2017). It is stated that certain notifications should be disseminated from 8 a.m till 8 p.m. Open discussions have no particular time l
