It is imperative to mention those leadership qualities and a set of skills are vital for a project manager to ensure that no issues related to a particular project occur, and the levels of productivity are satisfactory. Moreover, understanding these factors is necessary if one wants to become an outstanding professional in this area. A set of questions has been developed to provide project managers with information regarding core skills that are vital for this position, and what aspects must be improved in the future. Do you have an understanding of what aspects need to be prioritized in a particular situation and what issues must be avoided? (The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills & Caret Consulting Group n.d.) The primary purpose of this question is to identify if an individual is confident in his or her abilities and does he or she possess qualities that are valuable for every single leader, and one must be able to analyze the situation and set priorities (Englund & Bucero 2012). Moreover, innovations may lead to significant competitive advantage most of the time, and this is an aspect that should be acknowledged by every project manager (Betz 2011). Are you capable of developing long-term relationships with people and do you keep track of the latest information about events in their lives? (Galford & Maruca n.d.) The goal of this question is to ensure that an individual understands that communication with many people is vital for this job, and it is an aspect that should not be overlooked. Are you supportive of innovations and new ideas? (Sugerman, Scullard, & Wilhelm n.d.) This question is vital to identify if an individual is ready to work in an environment where he or she has to deal with numerous changes and outdated approaches are not used. Do you prefer your decisions to be flexible and do you think that it is important to make particular alterations depending on the situation? (Humanmetrics Inc. n.d.) This question is vital because a leader should be capable of making adjustments to increase the efficiency of operations and avoid complications. Moreover, one should be able to make prompt decisions based on the available informa
Introduction Laws and customs existing in every society should regulate relations between people in the complex world of modern society and define and control social interaction. However, this system fails to support human equality in many cases. Ethics of critique deals with ethical behavior concerning inequities in society determined by social class, race, gender, and other factors (Shapiro & Stefkovich, 2016). In this paper, the ethics of critique will be discussed regarding the oppressive social relations and structures outlined by Dewey and Freire. Rawls and Gandhi’s ideas of justice and equality, the alternative ethics of care presented by Hammington’s social readiness to welcome care for immigrants, will also be addressed in the essay. The Relevant Ethical Issues All societies and states have customs, laws, and moral codes that ensure stability. Justice is supposed to be the fundamental principle that governs human relationships regarding the distribution of social goods and values like freedom, equal opportunities, and respect. However, the case under consideration indicates that modern society is far from being equal. Rawls understands justice as the result of fundamental rights and freedoms of society distributed equally (Lindemann, 2019). What is more, Gandhi accentuates that justice is the oppressed people’s weapon to fight for freedom (Nadkarni, 2014). According to Gandhi, acting moral is a must, while ethics is a universal law that should equally apply to all people and ultimately lead to the happiness of all. Gandhi’s perspective coincides with Kantian philosophy, where every human being is to be treated with due respect (Kant, 2018). Thus, the philosophers’ concept of human freedom and equality as the highest value is the ground for to struggle for human rights. Unfair treatment of minorities becomes the main obstacle to overcome in the case study Access to Knowledge . In Gandhi’s interpretation, the struggle for justice should be nonviolent resistance to evil, not through retaliatory violence, but in a peaceful, more complicated, and laborious way (Nadkarni, 2014). A nonviolent response means efforts towards awakening human qualities, conscience, and repentance in the opponent. Another aspect of nonviolence ethics is working with society as a whole, changing public consciousness, creating an intolerant a
Apple is a corporation that has been around for many years and creates products known to many people worldwide. Apple has created many products, including phones, tablets, and laptops, which are widely used nowadays. As one of the most well-known and effective brands in its marketing, Apple, located in a core country of the United States, must find financially efficient solutions for its production and sales. The production of Apple Corporation, a company that began in the United States of America, has been taking place in China for many years. The labor force in China is relatively cheaper to manufacture than in the United States, as the cost of labor, sourcing of materials, supplies, and much more is reduced. This is due, firstly, to the size of the population, and secondly, to the education and qualifications available. Labor costs in China have always been somewhat lower, especially in medium-sized cities (Naftali, 2021). Thus, it is profitable for Apple to use China as a production site in order to reduce costs. This allows Apple to pay average wages to its employees, ship goods wholesale to different countries from a convenient location in China, and sell in countries around the world where demand for Apple products is high. At the same time, the production of electronics in China is at a very high level, which allows for maintaining the quality standard required by Apple. This shows how developed companies use periphery or semi-periphery states for their own purposes. Such use of other countries allows to reduce costs, but at the same time, it is not an objective sign of national discrimination since, thanks to Apple’s factories, it creates many jobs in China. In conclusion, the fact that Apple provides jobs eliminates the question of unethical news, as Apple uses China as a cost-effective solution to optimize production. Companies that exist and operate in a competitive market of electronic gadgets and other goods are forced to compete with each other and minimize costs for financial efficiency. Apple uses resources from different countries to fully optimize the processes. Reference Naftali, O.

Introduction The Lottery i s a 1948 story written by Shirley Jackson. The story is about a small town in the United States that maintains a lottery tradition every year. One resident of this town is chosen randomly by drawing lots, and the rest throw stones at him (Jackson). The first publication of this work caused a broad resonance among readers. In this small work, several urgent and severe societal topics are raised at once – this is the search for a scapegoat, herd feeling, and blind adherence to traditions. Analysis Among the town residents, there is an opinion that the person who “won” the lottery pays for all the evil that has accumulated over the year. The power of tradition and habit stands above the common sense of every inhabitant, except for the victim. Fatal consequences and the settlement of justice takes place with the help of a gambling drawing of lots. The author wanted to show that the strength of the crowd, coupled with a strong sense of habit and tradition, so much clouded the mind that only the victim, left alone against the entire crowd, can realize all the injustice and cruelty of such a tradition. The work raises questions about how faithful to follow traditions in general and when they need to be revised. Of course, cruelty is brought to the absolute in this story, but the question remains relevant. The society in work is not taught by experience that one randomly taken person can pay for the crowd’s mistakes. The relief that residents feel when they stretch out an unmarked paper completely stops all thought in the direction of injustice. Perhaps a momentary fear of a moment when nothing is known yet would cause a revision of traditions (Nebeker, 101). However, society has gone so far that even the pain of the victim does not stop them. Conclusion The work touches on a vast number of topics that project society’s ills, elevated to hyperbole. The heavy and resonant acceptance of this story by readers only proves its literary power. An individual or society as a whole cannot be recouped by randomly drawing a scapegoat. The strength of the crowd must always be regulated by common sense, which is sometimes spoken by the mouth of the victim of the crowd. Works Cited Jackson, Shirley.
Metrics are evaluation numbers used to track, assess and reveal important information about a specific process. First, metrics are important because they provide accurate and real data about the process’s effectiveness. Secondly, based on the metrics’ information, one can suggest improving the particular process. Third, metrics guide organizations or businesses to understand customers’ needs better. Fourth, metrics serve as a feedback tool because it relays information to the business, showing its satisfaction scale. I love working out and eating well, which prompted me to develop a measurable metric plan. I have listed the workout and menu as the main parameters to be assessed in my plan. I have to assign the number of workouts done in a day while balancing the types of meals. The process of keeping fit or losing weight requires an assessment of this kind to ascertain what works best for my body. Metrics are used in the entertaining sector to understand the coverage area, customers’ preferences, and cash flow from different areas. In the entertainment industry, I understand that companies like Showmax, Netflix, and DStv rely on metrics such as subscribers’ number and growth, watch hours, customer engagement, and earnings (Sivanathan et al., 2019). These companies can visualize how their content influences the customers by comparing metrics. With the advancement in technology, it is very hard to point out a profession that requires no success measurement. Ranging from chefs to teachers, the professionals have to track how their skills work. Therefore, no profession does not need data since otherwise the business or organization is doomed to fail. Even though these measurements exist, some professions like barbers, drivers, police officers, and religious teachers may not require data use. Reference Sivanathan, A., Gharakheili, H.

Introduction Developmental patterns in children are adversely influenced by the contexts around the child’s development environment. Recent research has discovered the various contexts to include family life, the immediate community, and work and school in addition to friends and the societal set up within a child’s environment. Certain issues of concern in children development must as well be addressed in relation to Bronfenbrenner’s systems, having been critical in the society. Children development under normal conditions should yield positivity in their lives in order to eradicate their exposure to societal vices, which impact negatively in their lives. However, the recent years have been marked by rampant children abandonment issues, resilience, depression in youth, delinquency, drug abuse and others problems that are more critical. Bronfenbrenner’s theory provides crucial tools that help address the child’s context in relation to these issues. More over, distinct effects are felt differently in the different developmental stages (Brambring, et al., 1996). The analysis in this paper has an objective to establish the influence of Bronfenbrenner’s systems on children abandonment, specifically for children in 1-2 years of age as well as adolescents. It will also seek to establish the influence that contexts in a child’s development surrounding have on developmental patterns. It will also give an overview of how the attachment theory influences the above stages of development. Influence of a child’s context on development patterns The child’s contextual environment is composed of family settings in which children are brought up. The community also plays a major role in the development patterns as well as work, school, friends and the societal set up in the child’s development environment. A combination of five systems was identified by Bronfenbrenner’s theory regarding children development in their environment. The suggestion he made was that these five systems had a distinct influence on the child’s development depending on the developmental stage. The Micro system entails the explanation of how children are influenced by the environments that are immediate to them, including peer groups, family, neighborhood, school and that provided in childcare set ups. According to research, the family plays a major role in children development, since it is the most immediate child’s exposure. Mesosystems explain the influence that occurs as a result of how children respond to the immediate environments, which are composed of a connection between any of the two micro-systems. For instance, a connection between family and school, a child who has difficulties in family life will definitely have difficulties interacting with teachers as well as
Having accessibility to high-quality water is essential for the survival of humans. We all use water, not only for drinking but for other purposes such as cleaning, cooking, bathing, and so forth. We are constantly in contact with water, hence one must ensure that the water does not contain substances harmful to one’s health. Quality of water and public health The human body is 70% water. Water in other words is an essential component of all processes that take place within our system. Therefore, a component that is so significant must be safe, such that it does not harm one’s health. However, this is not the case. In a lot of areas, the water available to the public is contaminated; that is it has substances that can be of great harm to public health. Health risks due to the quality of water may include Water-contact diseases, Water Borne diseases, Vector-Borne diseases, and Poisoning. (water quality and health) Dirty water when accumulates in an area, is the start of numerous harmful diseases. This is usually what happens in slums, and the reason behind the death of many innocent people. For instance, due to the immense increase in industrialization, most of the waste products are dumped into the seas and oceans for their convenience. This waste contains heavy metals, which can be fatal for the human body. If they make their way into the public drinking or cooking water supply, our health is immediately at great risk. Metals such as mercury and lead can destroy one’s immune system, making one vulnerable to any diseases. Metals such as arsenic and cadmium can cause human poisoning. Not only this, if these metals are dumped into the sea, and go into the bodies of the fish we eat, we too will be indirect victims of the harmful effects. Already the quantity of water available in the world is decreasing as it is, polluting it just leaves us with no options. (water quality information). Water-Borne diseases can be fatal for human health. If our drinking water or say the water we normally go swim in, is contaminated with pathogenic organisms, we can acquire certain diseases which may include: diarrhea, malaria, polio, dengue, typhoid, and many others. These can destroy human lives, and examples can be seen in areas with low water maintenance. (Water Borne Diseases). Water quality and quantity concerns in the US Water quality concerns can be found all over the world. In some areas, they are on a larger scale as compared to others. In the United States, let us look at a report from 2002. In that year 695, 540 miles of rivers and streams, or 19% of the nation’s approximately 3.7 million stream miles were assessed for their quality by the state. It was identified that 45% of it was contaminated, that is not suitable for its appropriate use, 55% was suitable for usage and 5% was heavily contaminated. In 2000 99% of all fish advisories were affected by toxic substances such as mercury lead and so on. Now, whoever had those fish had been at risk, hence, stating that there are quality concerns in the US. (water quality report 2002) (wate
Ethics are a concept taking base primarily in general human moralities and the application of those rules and guidelines in a private and public environment. Ethics itself is a set of fair principles and laws that govern a just and civilized world. Sometimes, there are instances when government’s organizations and social institutions seem to steer away from moral and humane laws that are expected in a perfect situation. The same can be said about business ethic which refers to how people’s morals and fairness are used in agreements and decisions between companies and organizations worldwide. The main idea of a business ethic is that it closely correlates with the laws of society, and even though people’s kindness and respect are expected, in order for the companies and organizations to flourish, ethics is sometimes not the guideline. A movie titled “John Q” is an example of the social policies that favor those with a great amount of resources and financial wealth. A father is faced with a heartbreaking decision of either letting his son die or getting the money any way possible. It is evident that the most ethical decision is to do anything possible to make sure that a child survives, but as shown, there are social problems in finding money quickly. Since the family does not have a large sum of money and does not own their house, it becomes impossible to loan money anywhere. In addition, the insurance policy that John had was changed by his employer. This is an example of an ethical issue that is outrageous, as the person has devoted years of work and the company opts for a cheaper option that will make it more money. The fact that this is done at any cost and no one really cares about the individual and their problems, is a major unethical event that takes place. Even though this sort of change might have been made illegally there are too many people who are involved in the scheme and their goal is the same—make more money. The hospital is another organization that is partly involved in immoral behavior. As not everyone has insurance, the hospital is unable to treat people who cannot pay. It might seem that the only purpose of the hospital is to treat people and make them healthy, but it has become somewhat of a business where the richest people become the best clients. It is possible to understand that government has to spend money on the hospital and medical employees have to be paid high salary, as the education was expensive for them, but there are times when this shoul
In health care decision-making, there are four main methods of economic evaluation. These are cost-utility analysis, cost of illness studies, cost-effectiveness analysis, and cost-benefit analysis. Each method is suitable for a given scenario as they are designed to work differently. Therefore, given a situation where an evaluation has to be done on new diabetes medication, the cost-benefit analysis would best fit. It involves a comparison of interventions and consequences wherein the costs and benefits are determined in monetary terms. This enables comparing the new medication and a preexistent one using the summary metric (Park, Jit & Wu, 2018). This facilitates decision-making based on the costs or benefits identified. The method is preferred because it considers benefits and costs even beyond intervention length, which enhances planning. It is also data-driven, allowing for the evaluation of a decision free from personal biases or opinions (Hwang, 2016). This ensures that given models are evidence-based and agnostic, and this builds logical operationalization. Additionally, the technique is effective and efficient in uncovering unidentified costs and benefits. This is especially essential when a given solution has underlying intangible costs that are less obvious (Hwang, 2016). Such charges often lead to adverse effects on the quality of operations in an organization. Moreover, the method makes it easy to establish the best decisions by reducing benefits versus costs. It thus eliminates the complexity that other forms have present in evaluation. However, it is limited by the fact that one cannot easily predict all variables. In most cases, if all factors are established, there is always a likelihood of unreliability and inaccuracy, especially in the long run (Park et al., 2018). It is thus as good as the available data used. Additionally, it eliminates the human element in the evaluation as it focuses exclusively on data. This makes it questionable based on the morality of such decisions in health care, mainly because the decisions affect other human beings. Moreover, it is not suitable for long-term interventions due to variable fluctuation and inconsistent timeframes (Park et al., 2018). These limitations are likely to lead to inefficient decision-making and increased risk. Nonetheless, in the performance of a cost-benefit analysis, it is essential to gather information on costs and benefits. Such information would include annual expenditure, cost categories, overheads, resources and activities, and depreciation (Robertson, Skelly & Phillips, 2019). On the other hand, benefits would involve collecting information on the monetary value of the given intervention to clients and the organization. It is also essential to have information on dis
