Introduction A trickster is a mischievous character in folklore. These characters are usually very cunning and sly making up for what they lack in the physique by employing their great skills in mingling with the other characters in an effort to make the best of any situation. Due to their sly and elusive nature, it is difficult to pin them down ( Leonard et al., 2004, 4 ). Tricksters are characterized by contrasts of their nature. They are very smart as well as stupid, Kind as well as cruel, polite just as they are rude and so on. The Tennessee Legend of Davy Crockett Folklore has it that Davy Crockett was known throughout the land for being the greatest bear hunter in the entire United States of America. It is said that Davy Crockett participated in the election. Once it was said that while he was campaigning in town, standing on a tree stump talking to a big crowd attending the campaign, a member of the crowd complained that he was thirsty. The crowd below jeered demanding for free drinks and wanted Davy to pay for it from his pockets, or else they would not elect him to Congress (Schlosser 2011, 3). At this instant, Davy knew he had to do something, and first or else, all his effort would be in jeopardy. So he walked to the nearest bar and ordered drinks for the crowd. He took it upon himself to do the singing and shouting, ordering drinks for the crowd. The barman said he wanted to be paid upfront before he served anyone. Davy asked him to hold on for a moment and took his rifle and took off to the woods, and the crowd watched in amusement. Davy did not take long and shot a coon on the first go. He came back with the coon skinned and ready to give to the barman. In those days, coonskin was a god as money which the bar accepted and began serving the crowd. The rounds kept coming and coming until the crowd was drunk as skunks. When the coonskin was all paid up, he went back to the tree stump for another speech to another crowd. News had traveled fast, and Davy took the crowd to the bar, and they all wondered if he was going to run off to the woods again and hunt. He keenly watched the bar and noticed that the coonskin was placed under the counter between logs that had been used to build the bar. He leaned over the counter and used his right hand to reach the coonskin and pulled it hard. He pulled it from the logs and gave it to the barman as payment for the crowd’s drinks to the delight of the crowd who drunk beyond their fill. While the crowd was busy enjoying the free drinks, Davy moved around the bar campaigning, putting his all in it. While moving around, he noticed where the barman hid the coonskin again. He continued moving around
The plays of William Shakespeare are, undoubtedly, the bright examples of how the performing arts can retain their immeasurable value through centuries. Thus, King Lear is one of those works that is being widely discussed and sought after by the major part of literary researchers and scholars of today. The tragedy is known to be staged on a regular basis in practically all of the famous theatres across the world. Yet, if a theatre genre is limited by the established canons and cannot go beyond the conventional norms of performance, a genre of painting is not subject to the same restrictions. Therefore, Ian Pollock’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear represents a combination of classic interpretation and a modern approach to the description of events that take place in the play. Naturally, whenever Shakespeare’s works are performed on stage, the same play can be viewed differently depending on a setting. Surroundings, decorations, costumes, and direction nearly always come as unique elements and do not repeat one another in the manner they were previously staged. Also, intonation tends to vary depending on actors’ capabilities and personal vision of a situation. Delivering a key message to the audience has always been a matter of high-level professionalism and vocational aptitude, meaning that a human factor has always been the reason for one and the same play to be accepted differently. Performative writing, however, has gone even farther in the matters of events depiction (Conkie 2). Written in accordance with comics’ canons, King Lear in Ian Pollock’s adaptation represents a symbiosis of classic Shakespeare and Pollock’s dystopic vision of the plot structure. Normally, a graphic novel has much in common with performing arts, but operates with inexhaustible resources and is not limited by a place of strict time frames. In this particular work, the artist casts the story in the form of dialogue that attempts to cover every relevant moment of the play. The panes are arranged in a way that helps to quickly and intuitively follow the major events and receive a clear picture of those before the actual reading of the utterances. By changing the perspective, Pollock usually f
The doctor’s communication skills and ability to explain complex medical terms and procedures to the patient are among the primary criteria when choosing a medical professional among people. Therefore, medical organizations’ professionals need to establish clear, transparent, polite communication with patients, their family members, and partners to manage their expectations and compliance with medical guidance provided. Reflecting on the conversation that I have witnessed, it can be said that the communication was clear, respectful, and comfortable for all parties involved. The doctor welcomed the patient, allowed him to express his concerns by asking open-ended questions, and integrated the dialogue rules with the client-centered care (CCC) guidelines. The conversation took place in the hospital, namely in the doctor’s exam room, where the professional has the necessary equipment and documents. The main parties were the doctor, his title was the Doctor of Medical Science, the patient, and the attendant, while I got an opportunity to observe the conversation. The doctor witnessed demonstrated professionalism by using a mix of open-ended questions with his assumption to ask a patient about the changes in lifestyle to identify the potential causes of fever and headache. The medical professional used professional terms but made sure that the attendant and the patient understand what he said by asking questions. The doctor tried not to accuse or judge the patient by asking inappropriate questions and implemented active listening to identify what bothers the patient. The professional’s demeanor, clean dress, and confident voice indicated his professionalism appropriate to the setting. The parties demonstrate accountability within the conversation by establishing transparent communication and providing necessary medical records and documents to track the conversation flow and identify points that should be discussed. The doctor collected the information, put it in the medical records, and clarified how it would be processed and protected when an attendant had a question about the data. The individuals witnessed were effective in their communication with one another because they achieved a common understanding of the patient’s problem and communicated the next steps of the process. It is suggested that patient satisfaction is directly related to effective communication that medical professi
Abstract This project management report provides an analysis of the Ottawa ICT project. Concisely, it explicates the implementation of the project by mentioning various success factors that determined its progress. It also highlights the challenges that hindered its execution. At the outset, the report explores the financial progress of the various issues concerning the management of the project’s resources. In addition, it presents the mechanism of the flow of funds in the realisation of the ICT development objectives. This section explains the mandate of the FINSENY Company to monitor the project’s progress in an attempt to ensure that the financial resources are utilised efficiently. Besides, it describes the financial risk assessment carried out each month to devise appropriate measures for curbing potential uncertainties that can hinder the progress of the project. It is cleared indicated that the risk assessment is based on existing factors such as staffing procedures and information systems among others. Besides, the report provides an insight into the change management practices that were put in place to ensure the successful implementation of the Ottawa ICT project. It indicates that change management was facilitated through the sharing of the project’s purpose, strong leadership values, employee engagement, and ensuring valuable connections among other actions. The second part of the project report presents the scope of the project. The list of the main requirements of the project is explored besides presenting a work breakdown structure (WBS). Stakeholder inclusion and the establishment of project teams are seen as crucial elements that determine the accomplishment of the change process. Lastly, the report provides a project summary that explores the performance and closure of the ICT activities in the region. Background Information Based in Canada’s Ottawa Region, the FINSENY Company was awarded with one of the eight ICT projects that were meant for the accomplishment of Stage 1 of the European Union Commission’s Future Internet Public Private Partnership (FI-PPP) Initiative. The project management report provided in this report comprises two sections. The first section provides analysis of the financial and change management. It also explores the management of the relationships that were formed in the implementation process of the project. Section 2 provides information on the overall activities that were undertaken in the implementation of the project. Various activities that were designed towards the accomplishment of the project included procurement inquiry, the release of the funds, site survey, and designing of the structures. Besides, it encompassed the ordering and delivery of materials to various construction sites, construction processes, and gathering the requirements for designing the company’s website (Kliem, Ludin, & Robertson 1997). Other activities included the implementation of the graphic designs and overall testing of the project in the four sub-regions. The last step entails the closure of the project (See Ap
Structure and Function of a Healthy Heart Standards The students should be able to outline several human-anatomical structures. The students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the role of nurses and physicians as well as outline the tenets of health promotion. Objectives The students be able to create an appreciation of health as well as verbalize the heart’s functions. Anticipatory Set The teacher will lead the students in singing several rounds of the song “ My Hidden Heart .” Key Vocabulary The students will learn new vocabularies such as heartbeat, chest, pump, blood and blood vessels. Materials The teacher will use a diagram with a cartoon drawing showing the heart’s location as well as the major blood vessels. Motivation Being a vital organ such as the heart, the students will build a better understanding of the human body. Presentation The first step is to facilitate the students in making a fist and positioning it on the left lateral area of their chest. The students will be asked to hold a water bottle in the fist and try to squirt water from the bottle in order to comprehend the distance that the heart pumps blood. The teacher will explain that the blood has to go round the body and come back to the heart. To illustrate the hearts repetitive action, the teacher will ask the students if they can keep pumping their fists all night while sleeping. Differentiation To locate the heart, the teacher will help the students make a fist and place it on the heart’s location on the chest. The teacher will also demonstrate how to squirt water from the bottle. Review and Assessment The students will be assessed on their ability to locate the heart’s position in the chest as well as outlining its functions. Extension The teacher will inform the kids that physicians can check if the heart is healthy without cutting the chest open. The students will feel their heart beat that night when lying in bed by placing their hands on their chest. Safety in the Play Ground Standards The students appreciate the measures that are established to keep them safe while playing as well as ways of requesting for assistance when an injury occurs. The students will be able to recognize that even fun activities can result to harm if safety is not observed. Objectives The objective of the lesson is to help students establish rules that enhance their safety in the playground. Anticipatory Set The teacher will issue each student with a band-aid and ask them to place it on their “ owie ” as well as describe how they got their “owies.” Key Vocabulary The students will familiarize themselves with terms such as wounds, injuries, bruises, abrasion, fractures, disability, and surfaces. Materials The teacher will issue the students with a band-aid, boiled eggs, apples, bananas and a chart. Motivation Students who are in kindergarten are at an age where a big perc
Introduction Formal approaches to critical thinking incredibly emphasize the development and implementation of analytical skills during school years. The idea is to enable students to have the capacity to understand claims properly, develop and follow through various arguments logically, deploying a bigger picture while looking for answers, which are consistent with the right paths of reasoning. Harris (1998) defines critical thinking as “the process that people use to reflect on, assess, and judge the assumption underlying their own and other people’s ideas and efforts” (Para.2). In this perspective, critical thinking comprises the process deployed by people in their attempts to think about their own thinking or the conscious scrutiny of their thoughts. According to Ennis (1962), one can view “critical thinking as a way of becoming aware of and taking control of one’s thinking processes to think more effectively” (p.5). During this process, people interrogate themselves, evaluate evidence suitable for supporting their arguments, attempt to provide logical explanations to complex problems and arrive at witty decisions. On the other hand, Hashemi (2011) looks at creative thinking as “the process that people employ to develop ideas that are unique, useful and worthy for further elaboration” (p.65). However, according to Harris (1998), there “…is another thinking, one that focuses on exploring ideas, generating possibilities and looking for many right answers rather than just one” (Para.3). This thinking is what scholars refer to as creative thinking. Opposed to critical thinking, creative thinking comes into play during an individual’s career life. What precedes the other between creativity and criticality in thinking? Both kinds of thinking are crucial in a problem-solving process. However, “First, one must analyze the problem; then he/she must generate possible solutions; next, he/she must choose and implement the best solution; and finally, he/she must evaluate the effectiveness of the solution” (Harris, 1998, Para.10). These kinds of thinking operate together and cannot principally separate apart. Personal experience in critical thinking In my working life, I have involved myself in the teaching profession. One of the purposes of teaching and training people is to inculcate the ability to think and argue out coherently without the slightest form of biasness. As a teacher, I had to work and provide avenues for the achievement of preset goals. Therefore, I had to reason critically to ensure the provision of judging and reasoning opportunities for students. During this time, I had to appreciate that people can solve problems in several ways. As a repercussion, I had to make provisions to ensure that I consider the views of the entire student, reasoning through to unveil any loopholes, which would otherwise force me to apply the rules of logical thinking to come out with probabilities as to why such solutions were not eloquent. This way,
The movie “Do or Die Affair” was written by Adam Williams. In his writing, William expounded on the diverse character of politicians as depicted in the movie. He begins by portraying the selfish act of the president, then expounds on the self-interest of other politicians running for the presidential post. Although the vice president and the governor belong to the same party, they both had the same interest of juggling for the same top political position; none proved to be ready to step down for the sake of another candidate. In running for the presidential post, the vice president relied on the support offered by the president; whereas the governor relied on the support he was assured by the majority of the council of elders and his mother. Most politicians have defiant characteristics; this is portrayed by the governor who swore never to step down at all conditions or threats passed to him by the president. His courageous stand in running for the presidency proved him a revolutionary leader. However, he also showed his weakness and fear by promising to expose the illegal conduct of the vice president. In exposing the illegal activities of the vice president, the governor exposed the character of the majority of politicians as traitors. In add
Defining Network Li et al. define “a network” as a group or several computer systems that are linked together in order to pursue various organizational objectives (3). Computer systems or networks are grouped into different types. The first one is known as a local area network (LAN). This kind of connection is characterized by computers that are in the same building or office. Wide area networks (WANs) are usually formed by computer systems that are in different geographical locations. A computer system designed for a large city is known as a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). Computer networks have specific characteristics or elements that make it easier for them to function optimally (LaCroix 19). For example, protocols are used to dictate the signals and rules that should be followed by the computers (and users) within the network. The term “typology” is used to define the geometric arrangements of the computers in a given network (LaCroix 26). The common typologies include “a star, a bus, or a ring” (Burgess 18). Benefits of Networks The benefits of modern computer systems and networks cannot be underestimated and explain why entrepreneurs, companies, institutions, and government agencies need them. This is the case because such networks are currently making it easier for many organizations and agencies to realize their missions. The first unique benefit of a network is that it guides companies to create, gather, and archive information. Databases are usually used to support the effectiveness of such networks (Saadaoui and Nasri 3). The archived data and information can be accessed by employees in order to promote organizational performance. Employees can create, store, and eventually retrieve the required information. This strategy can support the goals and objectives of a given company.
Introduction In the contemporary world, mental health is an area of great concern because of the number of individuals that require support and the complexity of the issue. The President’s New Freedom Commission report still affects the generally accepted attitude toward recovery of patients with certain conditions, such as different addictions, and disorders, despite being published almost twenty years ago. This essay will examine if the Recovery Movement raised from it still valid nowadays, based on its paradigm. Discussion of the Recovery Movement’s Approach Recovery Movement that is based on the recovery model, or, in other words, the recovery approach, is the guidance that outlines provisions of how to work with individuals with a diagnosis of a mental illness. The primary premises are that it is possible to recover from a mental health illness and that patient-directed recovery is the most effective one (SW Classes, 2016a). The other provisions that support the approach are that people shall make choices that support their well-being, they need a safe place for living, daily rooting is essential, and social relationships assist in recovering. However, the Recovery Movement is criticized, as its model tends to be claimed as an outdated one. The reason for it is that patient-directed recovery becomes a consumer-directed recovery because many services are offered and justified with attempting to help (SW Classes, 2016a); (SW Classes, 2016b). Simultaneously, it is more focused on the process and general methodology than on the desired outcomes and individualized approach (SW Classes, 2016a); (SW Classes, 2016b). Therefore, there is a need for this model to be significantly improved and adjusted. Conclusion It is possible to notice that many people have been helped with implementing the recovery model’s approach. However, nowadays, this approach was transformed and become a consumer-directed one, with emphasis on the comfort and convenience of the process through services offering, but not on the expected outcomes. Therefore, despite still being a valuable and primary attitude, the Recovery Movement needs to be improved to comply with contemporary realities and practices.
Introduction Air pollution is among the many factors that cause atmospheric destructions across the world. Air pollution leads to gaseous imbalances in the atmosphere, which cause chemical reactions amongst different gas molecules. These chemical reactions produce intense heat in the atmosphere, hence rendering into abnormal increases in the temperatures across the world. Air pollution is rated to be the major cause of discomfort in the living creatures of the world for air is essential for the survival of every living creature. Therefore, distress in the environment due to air pollution causes discomfort in all living creatures and worst still cause deaths. Causes of air pollution There are various causes of air pollution, which include industrial fumes, agricultural input products, domestic, and urban effluents. Beginning with the industrial fumes, the majority of manufacturing factories emit gaseous fumes into the environment as a byproduct of fuel and chemical combustion that produces the energy necessary for the production processes. Today’s technology does not have the ability to develop necessary measures of emitting gaseous effluents safely into the environment (Parry, 2007). Instead, there have been proposals concerning various methods of energy saving that is environmentally friendlier but cannot be used for large factories. Some of the environmental friendlier ways of saving energy include the use of solar and wind-power energies that do not have harmful wastes as compared to other forms of energy production such as the use of diesel generators in factories. Based on the research results of the United Nations Environmental Program, wastes from industries are the major causes of air pollution. Industries are responsible for emitting the most harmful gases such as sulfuric gases that are highly responsible for the depletion of the earth’s ozone layer. The research recommended for safer methods of emitting gaseous effluents, which included the introduction of intoxication chambers that contain water for dissolving the gaseous wastes. Sulfuric compounds dissolve in water, thus making the gaseous effluents less harmful to the ozone layer (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2012). In addition, th
