Introduction The most important aspects of writing and delivering a good speech are preparation and adequate practice (Lancaster 2010). Careers that involve regular delivery of speeches are very challenging because of the time and effort that goes into preparing a speech. Speech writing is an important aspect of learning because it equips people with skills that serve them for life (Esser 2006). For instance, it instils proper communication skills that are critical in human interactions and formation of relationships. The main objectives of a writer when writing a speech is to engage the attention of the audience, use a language that is easy to understand, and present ideas in a way that makes them acceptable and convincing (Neale 2011). A good speech contains certain aspects of communication such as lists, rhetoric questions, emotive language, repetition, contrasts, and evidence to support ideas and arguments. The process of speech writing involves several steps that include identification of purpose, determination of the audience, writing, and proofreading to eliminate mistakes (Dowis 2000). Purpose and audience Determining the purpose of a speech and the intended audience is the first step before commencing the writing process (Neale 2011). The writer needs to know the audience he/she is writing for in order to choose the style of writing, the tone, as well as the words to use. On the other hand, the writer should know what the speech is about and for how long it needs to last. These are minute details that prepare the writer and ensure that they provide quality writing. It is also necessary to have an outline detailing the various points or ideas that the writer intends to cover in the speech (Esser 2006). This type of preparation reduces the stress of writing the speech and reduces the amount of time spent writing or brainstorming for ideas (Neale 2011). The audience is the most important aspect of ensuring that a speech attains its intended objective. Therefore, the writer should ensure that each point that is listed o the outline is explained in the most effective way taking into consideration the needs of the audience. It should be easy to understand and should be written from the audience’s point of view (Roy 2011). This ensures the creation of good rapport with the audience. Understanding the audience also ensures that the writer uses a level of language that is comprehensible and that makes the speech interesting. The writer should decide what he/she wants the audience to learn and choose a style to present the arguments in a logical manner. Writing the speech The introduction is an important part of a speech because it determines whether the audience will be interested in listening to the speech or not. Therefore, the write
Introduction The study of biodiversity stems from the subjects of ecology and evolution, from where it derives its two main objectives. The first objective is to understand how the natural systems operate and are ordered (Bernhardt 2). The second objective is to understand how the systems were derived. The study of biodiversity entails various important practical applications primarily focused on conservation. The knowledge of biodiversity enables us to determine the species that are threaten by extinction under given circumstances and the best way forward to avoid their extinction. At the same time, the knowledge and a more informed understanding of the whole concept of biodiversity gives us the power to intervene in the event that we are faced by the loss of biodiversity, and to restore the lost diversity. Does the current trend in biodiversity help in its conservation? Wilson (2) purports that a majority of the species that ever roamed the surface of the earth have been faced with extinction at an average rate 1-2 species over the past 200 million years. In addition, incidences of mass extinction have occurred in which many taxa (a wide range of life forms) have disappeared within the same geological era. According to the July 8 th 2010 edition of the UN news center, Edward Norton assumed his role as United Nation Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity. The new goodwill ambassador is credited for his active involvement in mobilizing support for conservation endeavors in his position as a board affiliate of the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust and in partaking in the official launching of the Crowdrise networking policy to improve engagement in charitable activity. In his new position as the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Diversity, Edward Norton is charged with the respo
“…If anyone kills a person – unless it is for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all people. And if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all people” (Qur’an 5:32). The world we live in is full of good and evil, and very often, people can not define what is good and what is not. Should we murder people who had done the same before? Should we be the same? How can we punish them? In my opinion, the aim to punish is not the most important in this, but we should try to avoid the same crimes in the future, and that is the aim of Mankind. Of course, nowadays, many people associate terrorists with Muslims. In some way, there is a reason for this because the most laud terroristic events helped with the help of Muslims. But we should remember that every criminal has no nationality, gender, and age. It is very difficult to speak about punishment for people who are not afraid of anything. Fanatic beliefs make them blind, and they seem not to feel pain, and they do not have fear. Is it really so? Do we have the weapons against the terrorist? Speaking about this, I mean the weapons of moral character. It is very hard to kill a person in order to punish them when they want to be killed for being happy. So, there is a question if we should give such a generous gift to a person who killed or even tried to kill innocent people? Of course, there is one kind of weapon – religion. Muslims will never stand if they are made to violate the laws of Islam. But then there is a question – we are people who live in the civilized world, and how can we insult religion? We are humans, and we should understand and recognize all the forms of religion, nationalities, and languages. In my opinion, to define the ways of punishment, we should research the inner mechanisms of the terrorist apparatus. Terrorism in all its forms has become one of the dangerous things nowadays, according to its unpredictability and the effects on socio-political and moral problems of the XXI century. Terrorism and extremism in all their manifestations are increasingly threatening for the security of many countries and their citizens, entail enormous political, economic, and moral losses, have a strong psychological pressure on large numbers of people ( Bedau, 2005) . Terrorism has already acquired an international, global character. Even relatively recently, it was possible to speak about terrorism as about local phenomenon. In the 80-90-ies it has become a universal phenomenon. Globalization and the increasing internationalization of terrorism – it is an indisputable fact that is now facing humanity. This phenomenon is due to the expansion and globalization of international relations and cooperation in various fields. It is interesting that today the main material support to terrorist organizations comes from Arab oil-producing and developed Western nations. On the territory of developed countries, there are
When controlling the work of subordinates, one of the tasks of the school’s director is to appoint a responsible specialist who can take the lead in the management of technological resources and select additional personnel. To do it, it is essential to identify those areas that require the introduction of digital equipment and develop appropriate strategies to maintain its stable operation. These measures are necessary as part of personnel management using technological digital innovations as an educational tool. Communication Practices and Procedures The use of computer equipment at school is relevant in some areas. In particular, modern digital means are necessary for the accounting department where permanent calculations are performed, which, in turn, is difficult to implement without the appropriate technology. Also, student computer science education requires equipping with a modern digital base. The operation of the equipment in these areas requires proper monitoring, and the task of the manager is to ensure the stable operation of the equipment. In all these areas, at the moment, some policies regulate control over the operation of digital systems. However, due to the replenishment of the technical base, proper skills are necessary since regular software updates require the appropriate qualification of the manager. One of the key policies supported at the school level is to encourage student learning through digital media. According to McDougall and Betts (2016), “computing technology enables the facilitation of learning experiences which could not be provided in any other way” (p. 223). The advantage of this approach is that the staff has an opportunity to work with the latest achievements of progress and introduce those working strategies that meet today’s standards. Despite some potential challenges, for instance, the possible difficulties of training personnel to work with new software, the advantages of such a model overlap its shortcomings. At the same time, to communicate with these areas, it is possible to develop several relevant strategies. For example, employees can undergo additional training, share experiences in group classes, and introduce innovative tools into the workflow in stages. It will allow you to study the specifics of managing equipment and its components comprehensively. Strategic Initiatives/Goals As a technology leader, it is possible to consider several relevant strategies that may be effective for the successful implementation of appropriate equipme
Seneca can be mentioned among the most famous philosophers of all times, and he is the most famous Stoic philosopher. His works including the four letters can be acclaimed as a piece of eternal wisdom which added to the progress of humanity in the broadest meaning of these words. Generally, the four letters of Seneca can be evaluated as a thorough piece of Stoic thought on such eternal themes as cosmic determinism, human freedom, morality, intellectual development, and the importance of controlling one’s emotions. Speaking about the significance of the content of his letters, it should be mentioned that it can be hardly underestimated. Seneca’s ideas developed in these letters are still timely and meaningful even nowadays after thousands of years to pass. And this is no wonder as in his works he addressed the most important eternal topics of genesis and the meaning of life including cosmic determinism, human freedom, morality, intellectual development, and the importance of controlling one’s emotions. There are numerous interesting ideas in these letters, and in this paper the most significant of them (on my mind) will be addressed. In particular, the idea of facing difficulties in life as a road to perfection is still accepted nowadays as an eternal truth. Namely, Seneca wrote: “a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials” (185). This idea is very interesting especially in our modern society of consumers who are accustomed that money grow on trees, and are “overfed” with what they in life. In case of the slightest difficulty that such people meet on their road they are “killed”. However, Seneca’s massage related in the above mentioned quotation is of great importance to such people as they must understand that difficulties and even hardships is a normal stage on a way to success. Numerous examples of modern people support this claim by Seneca including Steve Jobs, John Kennedy and many more. I completely agree with the above-mentioned statement by Seneca, and I saw it trueness many times in my own life. Whenever I want to rise into a new level I must go through severe tests and trials. Further, one more important idea in Seneca’s letters became very appealing to me which is “as long as you live, keep learning how to live” (239). What can be more important for successful living than knowledge? Without knowledge it is hardly possible to go through the problems we face in our live
Introduction Integrated working is a situation whereby every person supporting offspring’s works together efficiently to centralize the children, satisfy their needs and enhance their lives. It is best comprehended as a biological Integrated Children’s scheme that is concentrated on the child and his folks. It is served via service synchronization and maintained through integrated corporations and bodies. The genre may be further enhanced to recognize the underlying integration principle closely. This is done through a complicated multi level evaluation (Dunhill, Elliot & Shaw 222). This report will provide an evaluation of the progress of integrated service provision in early years, in the UK, and the principles behind it. It will put into consideration the role of integrated service conveyance to outcomes for families and their offspring’s. It will draw out the allegations for verdict makers at the communal, regional and countrywide level in the UK. It will also offer a holistic assessment of the available verification associated with the strategic, managerial and set issues related to service integration and organization. It will finally detect the most assuring directions for upcoming research and development, and goals to enlighten the procedures of connecting the future investigations clearly with strategy and practice (Gasper 17). Discussion The policy and concept of integrated working in the Early Years in the United Kingdom Before integrated working could be attained at a practical level in the UK, it was required that those involved comprehend how each other’s work contributed to the general project. This evaluation offered support that was family based. This provided a wide account of the threats encountered in child development and the probabilities for interference. Children’s organizations in the United Kingdom were initially developed in the Children enactment of 2004. These were developed to attain the integration of services of front line for kids via co -located services including children’s institutions and comprehensive schools, multi- diverse groups and a chief worker system. There was an ordinary evaluation structure across services in this nation. Information disseminations systems were also to be developed across services so that words of warning could be amassed and the outcome of children estimated with time. Mutual training with some similar modules was also provided. This enabled the personnel to share a solitary message about chief principles and practices such as child fortification. They could also know each other’s duties and accountabilities. Sufficient plans were made for protecting children. Measures for dealing with boundary issues with other services especially parents with psychological health difficulties were put in place (Jones & Pound 665). Primary well being care is a chief player in the services entailed in the UK framework. Its
Fight Club (1999) is an example of a thought-provoking film that transmits quite contradictory emotions. The dynamic plot and complicated psychology of the characters retain the viewers’ attention and make them continue to watch despite several shocking moments. The film’s eccentricity may be connected to the distancing effect discovered by German playwright Bertolt Brecht. He aimed at preventing the audience from excessive emotional investment in characters and making them think critically about the events in the film. Although the effect has been applied mostly for epic theatre, it can work as efficiently for cinema. In Fight Club, the use of the alienation effect and other elements of Brecht’s cinema theory allows viewers better understand the message conveyed. The main principle of the distancing effect is making the familiar strange. The audience sees something recognizable but presented in a weird way so that everyone should form a new understanding of it (Barnett, 2018). This is exactly what happens in the film, the plot of which is based on creating a fight club that more and more members join. In the viewers’ minds, violence has a negative connotation, but there it acquires a new vision. Savage and ruthless fights have a liberating effect on the main character, an ordinary office worker, and many other men like him. As the Narrator says, it is not about winning or losing, but about feeling saved at the end (Fincher, 1999). For the members of the fight club, this is an opportunity not to constrain themselves and to stop pretending, and the blood flowing down their faces symbolizes purification. Showing various people encouraged to join the club, the film conveys the message that such impulse may be inherent in all people, but not everyone is ready to understand and accept this. Thus, combining natural and disgusting, Fight Club makes a strong impression on the audience. Along with the ambiguity of concepts goes the ambiguity of images. The behavior of the main characters in Fight Club is not coherent so the audience does not know what to expect from them. Unlike typical dramatic movies, where it is clear who to be compassionate with, it becomes difficult for viewers to understand their attitude to the characters. That is a prime element of Brecht’s system because he wanted to concentrate not on emotions but on thoughts and ideas. He did not aim at dividing the roles into heroes and villains, which would distract the audience from objective thinking. That is why characters show different sides of their personality. For instance, Tyler Durden initially makes an impression of a charismatic, fearless man who stands against the society of consumption because “the things you own end up owning you” (Fincher, 1999). He could become a role model f
Before the introduction of the LMR and the CPOE systems into the company’s framework, the PHS Clinic was an exact representation of a company, whose decision-making process was based on the principles of a traditional, non-computerized approach to data management, which caused numerous issues in data accuracy and patient safety. The incorporation of the LMR and the CPOE approaches allowed for designing an entirely different strategy for information management, In other words, the latest information technology innovations could be incorporated into the framework of the organization so that the process of information transfer could become easier and safer. The investment, which the company’s leadership had to make into the process of enhancing the quality of the service delivery and increasing the rates of patient satisfaction, allowed the company to propel itself into a new stage of development, which involved digital communication. The fact that the organization managed to allocate its costs in a proper manner and, therefore, make a reasonable investment into the further progress, can be viewed as the key factor promoting the further redesign of the information system. The formalities related to the staff’s affiliation to the PHS management style, the use of out-of-hospital offices by the latter, the absence of the relevant technology and skills among the local doctors, the reluctance of the staff to learn new skills, and a comparatively high cost of the overall change can be viewed as the key impediments to the change. The transformation in question allowed for making impressive changes in the design of the organization and the attitude of the staff towards technology. Specifically, the incorporation of the IT architectural framework, which helped the staff get accustomed to the alterations, the design of a specific code for the staff to collaborate efficiently, the design of the governing systems, and the integration of quality assurance tools deserve to be mentioned. Improving the process of data management on an enterprise-wide level is fraught with a range of issues, including the problem of training the staff and making sure that every single member has been made aware of the specifics of the new information management approach. The process of establishing the decision support system in the specified environment, however, is associated with a range of difficulties, the need for creating the corresponding tools, to design a new approach towards establishing the patient-therapist relationships, and the introduction of the new information manage
The constitutional convention of 1787 was formed and tasked with the duty of proposing amendments to The Articles of Confederation besides coming up with a workable plan for the national government. The two contentious plans were presented by the state of Virginia and New Jersey. Structurally, the two plans were the same. Both were for the idea of three branches of Government, which were the legislature, judiciary, and the Executive. In terms of congressional representation, the New Jersey plan proposed a unicameral house, which would allow all states equal representation while the Virginia plan vouched for a bicameral house that would have the House of Representatives elected by people and the senate that would be elected by state legislatures (Foner 257). This representation is possible since congressional power differs per state. Each plan had benefits to the states that were vouching for them. The small states were vouching for equal power because of the fear that the large states would swallow them in the future due to their expansionist agenda. At the same time, they were simply securing resource allocation to themselves against the large states (Foner 257). The large states were securing the democratic rights of their people in terms of proportional representation, as well as decision making at the national level with proportionate allocation of resources. Both Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were great diplomats (states’ rights) in the American society. Hamilton’s idea of the American governance system was based on the British model whereby he proposed a monarchy and parliamentary system. Hamilton was never for the idea of states as he thought they were not necessary. Rather, he supported mercantilists and companies (Foner 258). He was also a champion of the new constitution. Jefferson was a strong proponent of the state. He supported agriculture as the backbone of the economy. He believed in the independence of the states as advocated in the previous constitution. Alexander Hamilton would favor the Virginia plan, as he was a federalist, because he was a strong proponent of a less fractured America with a more centralized government, which wa
