The term internship is used for those individuals who are interested in practical exposure, they are known are “interns”. They work in a firm on temporary basis in order to get aware of the practical things that goes by, internship, basically prepares a person for the real world, interns are said to be “on the job trainers” because they are treated are learners, they have no command over a specific decision, rather they are asked to follow their supervisor and are suppose to conclude each task given to them on time, this helps them in learning the do’s and don’ts of the company. These interns are usually college or university going students, who are interested in making a healthier future for them, which is the reason behind organizations offering part-time internships especially for those students who are studying. But they also offer full time internships during vacations (summers) so that students could get full advantage and take the effective use of their time. All internships are not always in a paid form, they are sometimes unpaid-depends on the requirements by the firm. They are partially paid as well. Students planning to have a degree in science, business, law, advertising, technology and engineering are asked to have a practical occurrence in their respective fields. This can also facilitate them in achieving their goals. Charity organizations usually offer unpaid internships, they typically ask for volunteers. They time duration for internships lasts on average for six to twelve weeks, it can be shorter or more than this. There are on the whole, two types of internships, the first is “work experience internship” and the other is known as “research internships”. Work experience internships are often during the school periods. It can be from two months to an entire year of school. It helps the student to have a practical exposure from the real world and apply that experience in their studies. They are supposed to learn things and pu
Introduction The two main themes that are going to be discussed in this paper are motherhood and death. The theme of motherhood is discussed using the poem “Daystar” and the book “A Worn Path”. This theme involves how women make sacrifices for their loved ones sometimes pushing themselves too much. The theme of death will be discussed using the text “King Oedipus” and “The Things They Carried”. This paper will show how death has influenced the lives of the main characters and how grief engulfs them. Motherhood This poem portrays women as a people whom are in a dilemma between their own well being and that of the family. This poem represents the trials and tribulations that the modern woman undergoes. A woman, or to be more specific, a mother, is always keen on building a good home. She has great love for the children and her mind is preoccupied with their wellbeing. The modern woman seeks to have a break from the family by going to work. She returns in the evening to meet her demanding children and husband. She has to meet the demands of the children and later in bed she has to be intimate with the husband no matter her feelings since she wants to serve him. In the poem “Daystar”, we see a description of a woman who is attempting to have a break from her day to day chores of being a mother and also a wife. She longs for a one hour rest from these demanding duties. She always goes to the garage and sits alone when the children are sleeping. This is the place she unwinds and gives her the courage of raising the children and facing the task of raising a family. In the first and the second stanza the poems shows that this woman is weighed down by motherhood. We see diapers on the hanging line and a doll which is lying at the door. This indicates that this woman is very busy and preoccupied raising an infant or a very young child. This woman is weary and the doll is a good example of this. Her mind is preoccupied with the work that she is supposed to do in the house. The woman going to sit at the garage alone is an indication that she needs to be as close as possible to the house just in case she is needed by the family members. This is an illustration that she has great love for the family but being away for sometime is quite nourishing. Her mind is always preoccupied and the third stanza explains how she is dazzled and easily distracted by petty things like watching a cricket or a leaf that is floating. The one hour which she enjoys peace and tranquility comes to an end her child wakes up. She wants to know what her mother is doing. She fails to comprehend what her mum could be doing in a dingy place instead of being in the house and taking care of it. The mother answers that she is making a palace. This means that this is her area of control since when she is in the house it the children and the husband who are in control and not her. Her husband is an insensitive man and the intimacy between the two is only appreciated by the husband while the wife does not seem to enjoy. Sh
AIDS.gov receives funds for activities of HIV/AIDS from the HHS office. This is funds from the minority AIDS initiative which can respond to the impact of the epidemic on ethnic and minority populations. The allocation of funds is gotten from HHS secretary of minority AIDS initiative fund which is based on proposals of multi-agency. These funds are discretionary as opposed to funds that go directly to other HIV/AIDS agencies. The minority AIDS initiative dollars fund has a link to the HIV/AIDS presidents initiative to fund the organization of AIDS.gov. The global funds for fighting AIDS were started as a non-profit foundation which is a unique public and private partnership that aims at attracting, managing, and disbursing resources to the countries that have been burdened by AIDS. The United States established the global fund and the United States government provided 40% of the total contribution and governs the board. During the six rounds of providing funds, $8.4 billion was committed by the global fund to 136 countries in form of grants. (Seibert, 2000 pp33-34) How reliable are its funding sources Health insurance schemes are made more affordable where people who are infected by AIDS purchase the coverage. Employees are encouraged to purchase health insurance on their own rather than getting in through their employer. The people who purchase their health insurance on the individual market are provided with substantial tax benefits in order to lower taxes for all those victims who are not insured for the insurance to be affordable and provide a significant incentive for the people to purchase coverage. Initiative for affordab
“The Torments of Love” is a fascinating trilogy that explains the nature of love and how vain it can be. It is the story of a young woman Helisenne who was married at the tender age of 11 years, to a much older man. Initially they shared a perfect marriage worth coveting. However, this was only because of Helisenne’s innocence who was both young and naïve at the time. She is portrayed as a chaste and noble lady who is set to be the model wife, respectful and admired by all. However, with the exposure to new environment she becomes wise in the ways of love. Such exposure leads to an adulterous affair with Guenelic, a younger male of seemingly noble origin. The flight to fantasy land reveals the vanity of love brought about by much suffering such that she ends up regretting existence and wishes that her creator would not have let her live beyond her childhood. In the book, De Crenne highlights the two types of love: lascivious love; illicit vain and full of suffering; and matrimonial love noble; chaste and worthwhile. This story therefore is an expression of how the power of lascivious loves over matrimonial, how vain it can be and why people should pursue more worth while ventures. Crenne views marriage as a very sacred and holy institution held in deep reverence by those in it (8). Chastity is the rock under which perfect marriages are built on. A married person has to be both chaste in heart as well as in character: the things that a married person does must reflect a chaste spirit from within. As such a married person especially a woman has to avoid all the trappings of the search for pleasure. With regard to pleasure, Crenne says that it can be found in abundance within marriage and as such, a person has no reason to go searching for it outside the marriage (8). Furthermore a married person holds a very important position in the society and as such has to uphold dignity so as to retain that position (9). Married women are subject to public scrutiny by society and are much more liable to blame and condemnation should they commit any form of misdemeanor such as having affairs with other men. Therefore Crenne sees women as the carriers of dignity not only in marriage but also in the society (9). Men on their part have a free ticket and are allowed to have extra marital affairs without any blame; the kings, princes and such other men of noble background, without criticism from the society, publicly express their affection for Helisenne, despite knowi
It is no wonder that the urban population in world countries is growing day by day due to industrialization and the advancements in the fields of science and technological innovations. Urbanization has become one of the major landmarks of the modern world. No doubt, urbanization has brought about human progress in many areas; however, one can also notice that it is the urban area that is more susceptible to vulnerability and environmental degradation. The degraded urban environment in Canada has added to the issue of the poor health of the Canadians who live in the urban areas and this has redefined the health care needs of the people in the nation. The urban physical and social hazards like poverty and violence have adversely affected the hygiene of the citizens, and changes in lifestyle and food habits have also been instrumental in the breakdown of the general health of the citizens of the nation. It is pathetic to note that the Canadian Government has to spend a large amount of public expenditure for the healthcare needs of its citizens and it is no wonder that a variety of laws, policies and measures have been undertaken by the Government to alleviate the severity of the crisis faced by the nation. The paper tries to identify the major environmental factors that have caused great harm to the health care of Canadians and the aim of the paper is to pinpoint the possible solutions to the issue through research. In Canada, the majority of the total population is living in the urban areas and the country gains much of its GDP from its major cities: “The Canadian economy is inextricably linked to the health of its cities; for example, the seven largest cities in Canada generate almost 45 per cent of the national GDP and large cities like Vancouver and Montreal account for over half of provincial GDP.” (McBean & Henstra, 2003, 1). It is unfortunate to note that the urban areas in Canada are subjected to a lot of natural disasters from time to time. The ill effects of these natural disasters add to the misery of the people and cause a serious threat to the natural health care of the people. Even though earthquakes often destroy the natural peaceful life of Canadians, the changing climate and subsequent weather hazards torment the nation badly. As Gordon McBean & Dan Henstra point out, in Canada, “Weather hazards include tornadoes, hailstorms, winter storms and heatwaves, while weather-related hazards include drought, storm surges, floods and moving ice. Weather and weather-related hazards vary in their likelihood across Canada: for example, tornadoes and hailstorms 6 are most common on the Prairies and in southern Ontario, storm surges are common on the East coast, and winter storms can occur across the country.” (McBean & Henstra, 2003, 2). These weather-related environmental hazards increase the intensity of the health care needs of the affected citizens and it is sad that the Canadians are completely helpless to fight these natural disasters. Heavy rainfalls and snowfalls also pose threat to the peaceful life of the inhabitants as there are chances for floods during heavy rainfall and snowfall. Very often the huge urban buildings, the electr
It needs to be said that I have noticed from my personal experience that I have learned the language as a result of interaction with the environment, and I had my own understanding of particular words. I often analyzed the world around me, and communication with others was also essential. This is quite similar to the rapid construction of a grammar theory that is described by Ottenheimer, and he suggests that children at an early age understand the importance of language and use it as one of the ways to explore surroundings (258). Interactions with others were paramount because they shared the information, and it has helped me to develop my grammar when I was young. Also, Ottenheimer describes cognitive theories as a set of hypotheses that suggest that acquisition of language is related to intellectual development (257). This perspective is also interesting because it is evident that children may remember some words, but they do not use them until they understand their meaning most of the time. It is also interesting that there are numerous instances when children learn several languages at once, and it is a tough task for adults. The critical period in development is essential because it allows children to remember enormous amounts of information at once (Kuhl et al. 256). It is also interesting that there are some differences between the language learning abilities of genders. One of the studies has shown that boys and girls utilize different regions of the brain when performing tasks that are related o language. (Burman, Bitan, and Booth 1349). This aspect should be considered during future studies because it may help to get a better understanding of language acquisition process. Student Name Professor Name Subject Date Discussion 11 According to Ottenheimer, sign language is a method of communication that was developed for needs of Deaf community (115). The sign language that is most commonly used in the United States is American Sign Language (ASL). It can be said that it is somewhat related to English because some concepts are the same, but the structure of sentences and grammar are significantly different. Order of words is also not the same most of the time, and just one sign includes several meanings at once (Ottenheimer, 118). Facial gestures are also paramount because they are used to express the meaning of a particular symbol. It is important to note that I have encountered many individuals that used ASL, but I had issues with recognizing gestures most of the time because it is dramatically different from spoken English. It can also be noticed in some of the movies, and subtitles help to identify the meaning of some signs (Okrent par. 5). Also, I think that it needs to be promoted much more because one of the studies has shown that individuals that experience sign languages at an early age have a better learning experience (Morford et al. 41). I think that this method of communication is efficient and has enormous potential. It can be impleme
The presentations of A Few Good Men play version contrasts considerably with the movie version. The dissimilarities are exposed by the way the characters have been molded. Also the camera and sound effects plays a considerable role in separating the two versions. It ought to be noted that in movie version the characters are more vibrant and realistic than is in the play version. Another notable thing is that the use of diverse camera angles such as close shots, close ups and extreme shots makes the movie version more captivating. Although the play version is more engaging than the movie, it lacks the glamour and flamboyance brought by the lighting and effects. Therefore, the movie is crisply captivating and solidly moving. This can be supported by the fact that though the play version is etched on humor the movie is tied to professionalism. Thus, such dynamics as low and high camera angles are exploited to give the characters diverse features. For instance, the manner the soldiers are depicted in the two versions exposes another considerable dissimilarity. The play version depicts soldiers who look weak and unmotivated. However, the movie version adds glamour and elegance as it depicts the soldiers being glamorous and thrilling. Also, the setting and the backdrop background lighting is quiet contrasting. With the panning and zooming of camera to introduce new scenes the dissolving effects ushering in new scene paves a paramount view that is lacking in the play version. Despite the consi
Introduction The promotion of diversity within any workplace can have plenty of benefits to the organization under consideration as well as to employees themselves. However, there may be certain instances in which this notion of diversity becomes controversial; this shall be examined in relation to Variety Store Company and the manager’s responses. Whether the manager’s reply is acceptable The manager’s response was quite reasonable given this organization’s circumstances. If Variety Store Company was confronted with a situation in which there is a job vacancy that possesses two similar qualified applicants but that one of the applicants is a minority and there is a need to restore balance within the organization, then a manager would be obliged to hire a minority. In other instances, a business may require more minorities in managerial positions if those businesses interact with members from the minorities’ countries of origin. (Williams, 2009) In the latter scenarios managers would not be favoring employees because of their race or ethnicity but because of practical business reasons and these d
This week’s readings from “The Cash Ceiling,” written by Nicholas Carnes, reflect on critical issues related to inequality of the citizens in terms of political matters. The first chapter narrates about the gap between the white-collar government and the American working class in this aspect, claiming that the latter never held office. According to the author, the reason for this problem is their inactivity deriving from the surprisingly passive attitude towards this type of societal activity. This situation adversely affects democracy in the United States and, consequently, public policy. It makes the measures taken inappropriate for the resolution of actual issues. The third chapter expands on the factors influencing the neglect of politics by workers. It states that they include the lack of free time resulting from their occupations’ specificities as well as the failure of political leaders to encourage this category of citizens to participate. Therefore, the explicit orientation on monetary rewards harms the representation of these people in the government as opposed to the popular belief in their prevailing unwillingness to act. In addition, the fourth chapter presents the perspective of the author on the challenge of the elections process, which implies the change of politicians by the people within their networks. It means that the distrust of blue-collar workers in this field, complemented by the difficulties of promotion, limits their involvement. In this way, these sources add to the description of the overall inequality from the previous weeks.
The article Valuing the Environment through Contingent Valuation by Hanemann discusses the primary issues of the valuation method to decrease the influence on the environment (Hanemann 20). Hanemann underlines the importance of contingent valuation as an efficient practice from different perspectives (20). Moreover, Hanemann claims that the surveys are the primary value generators among the consumers (28). Furthermore, the imperfections of the implications of the contingent valuation and its compliance with the economic theories are discussed. In the end, the conclusion summarizes the primary findings of the research. I entirely agree with the fact that contingent valuation remains a necessity while being able to protect the environment from pollution. Despite having some criticism regarding compliance with the economic theory, the contingent valuation contributes to the improvement of the economic and ecological conditions of the world and the ability to modify the current opinions about the environment. Firstly, the article is coherent and worth analyzing. I completely agree with the fact that contingent valuation has a positive influence on the economic and social states of the country and actively supports its implementation. Hanemann claims that it helps determine “the worth” of the values to the society (20). For instance, contingent valuation is used to increase the importance of cultural heritage (Baez and Herrero 235). Moreover, the contingent valuation is being considered as being used in the medical field (spinal surgery) (Haefeli et al. 575). Lastly, the economic analysis of the ecosystem remains a necessity to underline its importance (Holmes et al. 19). In the end, contingent valuation has to be implemented, as it is efficient and can benefit the environment, society, and economy. Secondly, I agree with the fact that the implementation of the contingent valuation helps form positive perceptions about the necessity of caring for the environment among members of society. Regarding this matter, Hanemann suggests that the surveys are the generators of the bottom decisions among the consumers and affect their preferences (28). Furthermore, Simons and Winson-Geideman claim that contingent valuation survey helps improve the customers’ perceptions about the market and influence their opinion (193). Additionally, contingent valuation helps cultivate the views about the particular matter and decreases uncertainty (Dominquez-Torreiro and Solino 1). Lastly, it is apparent that contingent valuation policy is essential, as it improves the understanding of the importance of the environment in society. Finally, I agree with the fact that the contingent valuation has some difficulties in implementation, but the careful evaluation allows developing the standard approach. In this instance, Hanemann discusses that contingent valuation has been dramatically criticized due to the lack of correspondence with the economic theory (32). Nonetheless, Hanemann underlines the importance of these arguments but concludes that contingent valuation can be utilized as a primary too
