Max Weber, the author of the essay under consideration, admits that the ethos of politics should be considered as a cause and tries to explain what calling politics may fulfil “quite independently of its goals within the total ethical economy of human conduct – which is, so to speak, the ethical locus where politics is at home.” (Weber, 117) Weber does not want to concentrate on politics only in order to present a worth material to his reader. He analyses ethics and tries to unite it to politics by means of their distinctive features. One of the means, which are inherent to politics, is violence. It is crucially important for power to be backed up by any kind of violence in order to control, to set the necessary rules, and be effective from different perspectives. Revolutions and wars – this is what can provide the development of power through the whole world. People cannot present and prove their points of view without certain amount of violence. However, all those actions taken to win wars or revolutions should be analyzed from an ethical perspective. Only this way will help to achieve the necessary results properly, without extra sacrifices and even death. Weber is eager to answer rather different questions in his essay: what differs the rule of the worker’s council from the rule of some other person, who holds power; why the wars, which lead to status quo, are needed; what are the reasons of the revolutions, people have to participate in; what the consequences of all those actions are, and what kind of future our next generation will get. These and many other questions are posed by Weber in his work. To answer all these questions, Weber offers to take into consideration the standpoints of many people and decide what idea is more appropriate; to become fee from falsification that surrounds us; and to use real life examples as the best evidences. People need to hear and analyze lots of cases in order to be completely sure about the decision made. This is why the author wants to present several ways to persuade the reader and present various arguments in his text. If he talks about politics in the work, it is possible that he considers men to be the vast majority of the readers. This is why the chosen by him example is good indeed. When a man prefer one woman to another, he does not want to find enough reasons to explain why; just simple phrases like she is not worth my love or something take place. This is why legitimacy means nothing for men in such cases, and this change does not correspond to any ethical principle. So, in order to be ethically proper and not to be put under a threat, it is better to find several legitimate reasons and present them. If such evidences take place in politics, the chosen way will be approved. In order to defend his thesis, Weber’s decides to evaluate several spheres of this life: religious, politic, economic, and even family relations. When the reader observes the situation that is more or less familiar to him/her, it turns out to be more interesting and educative to comprehend the material and take into consideration the hints given. Politics is a th
Human service delivery in the health sector Science and medicine have concentrated on reason and quest for disease prevention and cure with little attention on the clients experience with illness. The argument has been that engagement in medical practice should be free of value and as neutral as possible (Pardeck, 1998). Anything less that this, the argument went, was antithetical to the objectives of professionalism, rationality and reason within the medical practice. This remained the emulated standard for research, medical, practice and service delivery until recently when the aspect of service delivery received notice due to increasing consideration for the client’s understanding and experience with illness. Recently, reasoning and rationality has found its way in behavioral health. The consideration and management of behavioral health care is a new innovation into the field of medicine and the general policy formulation concerning both formal and informal healthcare provision. In the provision of medical care, there is a great need for reduction in cost of service delivery and self funding of the ongoing service deliveries. There is a growth in awareness which is challenged by requirement of welfare funding and change in use of retirement income and pension funds to assist in running the programs especially associated with aged care (Phillipson, 1998). Fine (2004) says that age care is rising with effects on both the nurses and professionals in both acute care institutions as well as the informal nursing homes. The services are transforming tremendously and there need for greater monitoring to ensure their viability. He traces transformation in human oriented service delivery to the post war error when those affected by the wars were increasingly being denied services on account of their terminal illnesses. As a result, there was a rather haphazard cropping up of nursing homes in the 1950s and the 1960s to take care of this group of persons. The next transformation occurred during the last two decades of the 21st century. During this time, innovations in medical services saw the upsurge of the “Cinderella” kind of services especially in Australia and the New Zealand that matched and even beat human health services in other developed world, referred to by European researchers as the “cutting age of change” in the medical service provision. This was an invention that was only challenged when the nursing homes were, as many other service delivery sectors in the post industrialization era, suffered from monetary and population pressures (Iversen, 1998). Medical staff training and by extension, service delivery was becoming inferior as an effect of profit motive and failures associated with systemic problems (Gray, 2001). Thereafter, the third transformation was the introduction of the case management scenarios that saw partnerships between the formal and informal sectors of the medical services sector (Australian Institute of Health 2005–06) ). This was based on community care philosophies as alternatives but with links with the acute formal care services. Through s
Introduction People who more precisely monitor their comprehension make better judgments regarding the information that they should reread when judged against the persons who less correctly examine their comprehension. Metacognition denotes a thorough assessment of ideas, understanding, and knowledge regarding cognitive occurrences or just deliberating concerning thinking (Pyc, Rawson, & Aschenbrenner, 2014). Metacognition has characteristically been taken to consider at least one of the following factors of a cognitive practice: the comprehension of the progression, supervision of the practice, and the management of the procedure. If made optimal, such facets of metacognition could enhance the performance of the target area, encompassing the learning of students. In this regard, the majority of studies have embarked on training learners to take part in metacognitive deliberations for the facilitation of their success in learning. However, metacognition could be affected by faults and usually express poor precision, which could have a detrimental influence on its execution in the learning of students. Though it is widely believed that metacognition ought to be taught in the classroom as a significant learning proficiency, learners and educators have to be cognizant of the mistakes that could go along with metacognition and discover the best means of avoiding them. More precise monitoring of the cognitive processes results in better test performance. Literature Review Metacognitive knowledge signifies the data that a person confers with when thinking regarding a specific cognition. Such knowledge could entail information regarding the cognitive task being carried out, a person’s capacity to execute that duty, or regarding possible policies that a person could employ for the undertaking of the activity. Metacognitive knowledge entails control and monitoring with the accurateness and success of such tasks increasing with the augment in metacognitive knowledge (Pyc et al., 2014). Metacognitive knowledge may impact the learning of students in numerous, different approaches. For instance, a student that is aware of his or her struggles in the comprehension of topics in mathematics may seek to set some more time for studying the subject or find assistance from the learners that excel in that area of study. The learners who identify much regarding the manner of studying and the occurrences in learning (that is, the ones who have high metacognitive knowledge) excel more when judged against the ones who have little metacognitive knowledge. On this note, informing learners concerning their learning techniques and the identification of successful (and unsuccessful) learning approaches ought not just to boost their accuracy of metacognitive judgment, but should as well develop their self-controlled learning. Concerning the improvement of the metacognition of learners, educators ought to caution students regarding metacognitive delusions (methodical flaws in metacognitive screening) they may bump into while learning particular forms of materials or arriving at some kinds of conclusions. Even though le
Cover Letter The purpose of carrying out this research was to determine the gap between house ownership among the rich and the poor. Factors that could have led to the identified gap were to be established and measures against these negative factors put in place. This was to ensure that all individuals in the various states especially in the urban centers have access to homes. This was also aimed at boosting trading activities in market centers as new consumers are made available to new suppliers thus intensifying the suppliers’ activities. The information that will be received from you will be handled in secrecy. Unconcerned individuals will not be allowed to access the information that you will have submitted. The questions that you will deem sensitive may be left out. The information will be analyzed within the shortest period possible and results given. By submitting the questionnaire, you will have confirmed consent to your information. Lastly, I would like to pass my sincere gratitude to all of you that have participated, since without you, the project could not have been successful. Current Issues in Finance Throughout these modern periods, there has been a propensity of an augment in the efforts by various governments all over the world to provide opportunities for common individuals to own homes. Conversely, stiff competition has been noticed in the housing finance market with regard to innovative suppliers being heartened to venture into the market. The new suppliers were in quest for new purchasers for the purpose of extension of their various activities. Consequently, the intensification of housing facilities is a profitable rejoinder to the market conditions. In the United States, the percentage number of individuals who own houses is approximated to be 63 percent. 52 percent being for the rich while 11 percent being for the poor. Generally, in developed countries the cost of a dwelling can often be 2.5 to 6 times the average annual salary. Therefore this research paper seeks to explain the existence of a gap in terms of home ownership between the rich and the ordinary individuals (Balfour and Smith, 1996). During the project, the identification of the ideal method of collecting data aims at achieving the most precise and accurate information regarding th
Abstract The prevalence of highly skilled Canadian immigrants doing jobs that do not make use of their skills is high. This means that their credentials are not adequately and accurately evaluated. These individuals are valued in their countries of origin. Many other qualified individuals are denied entry into the country. Surprisingly, several provinces, including Ontario perennially experience workforce shortages annually. Various reasons explain why many people migrate to Ontario, ranging from employment to increased opportunities available to the immigrants. Though immigrants have been associated with adverse effects on social amenities, the benefits settlers bring in Ontario surpass the pressures they put in social services. As such, immigration policies should be re-evaluated to accommodate the needs of the immigrants and put in place measures that ensure Ontario exploit the economic benefits immigrants bring into the town. Policies such as entry modes, employment status, and award of citizenship criteria should be re-examined to regulate the entry of the immigrants that would promote the economic wellbeing of Ontario. Introduction For decades, the Ontario administration had little to do with immigrants in terms of employment. Individuals from diverse locations outside Ontario were alive and would migrate to the province and get lucrative jobs. The immigration transpired, even though the majority of the immigrants speak little English. Despite the implementation of Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship in 2010 that sought to attract professional immigrants to the country (Black, 2013). However, the arbitrary rejection of more than a hundred thousand applications augmented due to fear of the government incurring extra costs on issues like health that relate to the asylums’. How Ontario as a province recognizes newcomers’ skills In the human resource migration concept, immigration is viewed as one of the multiple methods of investment in human capital (Boman, 2011). Immigration should hence happen only if the returns are anticipated to be higher than the costs. The Ontario administration is aware of this concept. There is a need for more skilled individuals in the labor force. Other provinces have recognized the enormous value of skilled immigrants. To mitigate large-scale labor force shortage, Ontario has also implemented diverse strategies to attract and retain an expert labor force. The policies are legally entrenched in the Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement. The strategies include the evaluation of immigrant skills. The immigrants with the necessary skills, expertise, and talents are offered jobs according to their qualifications. Initially, any immigrant would migrate to Ontario, get employed in the factories, and earn a living irrespective of their requirements. By ranking the immigrants according to their skills, more physicians, engineers, and other professionals are settling in the province.
Introduction Obesity has currently been noted as an increasing health problem. In the last thirty years, the percentage of obese people in the United States of America has tripled. Statistics shows that in 1980, the percentage of obese children and adolescents aged between 2 to 19 years was 7.0%. By 2008, the percentage had increased to about 20%. There is no single cause that can be attributed to the problem. Additionally, World Health Organization reports that, women from various cultures have higher risks of being obese as compared to men. It states that “girls are more than 50 percent more likely to be obese than were boys” (World Health Organization, 65). However, the percentage is higher in black people as compared to white people. However the probable causes are; change in dietary patterns, availability and increased access to fast food and soft drinks, reduce physical activity among others. Efforts have been put by individuals and organizations to help those affected to regain normal weight and fight against diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, osteoarthritis among others. According to the World Health Organization report of 2000, Americans population as well as people in other parts of the world have lost their lives due to diseases linked to obesity. As it has been noted previously, there is no single factor that leads to obesity. Following this, there has been two divide with regards to the issue; one side strongly believe that it is the presence of fast food restaurants that has contributed to the problem, on the other hand, there are those opposing this school of thought thereby generating an endless debate on the causes of obesity and the approaches to be taken to curb it. It has been argued that obesity is a serious problem cutting across individuals of all ages. This topic is of a paramount significance since it will help the general public to understand what causes of obesity are and work out the strategies to curb the problem. Opposing positions As it has been noted previously there is a controversy regarding what are the main causes of obesity. To that effect, two documentaries will be used to examine these two opposing sides. The first documentary is titled Super Size Me directed by Spurlock Morgan, produced by Jones Kelvin. It was produced back in 2004 and features Morgan closely following a strict diet of fast-food from the McDonald for a period of one month. He ate three times a day with food totaling 20.92 mega joules. At the end of the period, Morgan gained 11.1kg, and increase of 13.0% in body mass 230 cholesterol. Other consequences he experienced include sexual dysfunction, accumulation of fat in liver and changes in moods. The second documentary which holds a contrary view is titled Fat Head , it was produced by Ostrow page and Smiley Susan directed by Tom Naughton. The documentary refutes the views presented in the Super Size Me as well as the lipid hypothesis. The la
Organization Choice For the summative assessment, it was chosen to analyze the recent changes in Google that resulted in shutting down the Google Plus social network. According to Dassanayake (2019), the Google management team decided to shut down the service due to low usage and the high cost of maintaining a product that meets consumers’ expectations. The example was chosen because the events are recent and fresh in memory. There is a significant body of up-to-date information on the matter that can be utilized. Additionally, it will be beneficial to analyze a case of a successful company admitting the failure of one of its projects. Finally, the organization was selected for personal reasons, as Google Plus has long been a service of interest. In brief, Google was chosen for the summative analysis due to a combination of objective and subjective reasons. Assignment Plan The plan for approaching the assignment consists of four major phases that will be subdivided into smaller steps.  1. Gathering all the material for the assignment and create a reference list appropriately formatted.      1. Collecting information about key stakeholders;      2. Getting acquainted with utilized theories;      3. Obtaining data about actions that were taken.  2. Writing a summary of the essential elements of the organizational change from theoretical and practical viewpoints.      1. Considering the reasons for the events;      2. Determining the type of change;      3. Describing the approaches to the process;      4. Naming the people involved in the matter;      5. Acknowledging organizational culture and power.  3. Choosing and analyzing the success and limitations of two elements of the organizational change process.      1. Reflecting upon the encountered issues;      2. Studying how conflicts were handled.  4. Evaluating the results of the change process and the impact it produced on the company’s performance.      1. Stating the positive outcomes of the process;      2. Specifying the areas of possible improvement. Section 1: Draft Since its launch, Google Plus did receive much attention from the users despite attempts to promote the service. Therefore, the company has been struggling with maintaining the social network, as it does not attract enough attention from the users (Dassanayake 2019). According to Wong and Solon (2018), the additional reason for the matter may have been a security breach that happened in 2018. Even though the company tried to conceal the matter, the bug Google Plus attracted much attention that may have become the final argument towards closing down the service (Wong & Solon 2018). In short, the reasons for the organizational change are connected to the financial and reputational implications of service maintenance. Even though the change may seem spontaneous, it is long-considered and well-planned. The type of change is remedial, as it aims at reducing costs and restoring the image of a company successful
Multinationals have entered into domestic markets and forced local companies to strategize on how they can enter foreign markets so as to remain relevant in the market. There is also the need for flexibility of strategies such as product and pricing strategies in relation to changes in consumer needs. In light of these changes in modern markets, management is now defined as the process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling resources so as to enable achievement of organizational objectives. In a situation where a first line manager seeks to gain from the demise of his manager, it is important that the promotion process takes place in a just manner. If the first line manager refuses to warn his manager of a looming problem in the making, then when the manager ends up being fired it is the doing of his juniors. It is therefore morally wrong for subordinates to seek promotion by sabotaging the careers of their bosses. If a first line manager advices his boss such that failure is avoided, he/ she will receive good recommendation. The Hawthorne experiment was conducted by Elton Mayo to try and find out what affects productivity of employees. Mayo had perceived that the working conditions such as lighting was what affected productivity. The Hawthorne experiment however revealed that recognition and appreciation of employees was the underlying factor that can lead to increased performance. The expectancy theory explains how employees work hard to increase their performance when they expect that their efforts will be repaid by rewards that they value. Equity theory explains that employees compare how they are rewarded with the way other personnel of the same rank are paid for dispensing the same amount of effort. If they find that others are paid more, they get demotivated and vice versa. Goal setting theory proposes that employees get motivated when there are challenging and objective goals that their efforts are directed towards achieving. Reinforcement theory on the other hand looks at behaviours of employees. It explains that managers can promote desired behaviour by rewarding employees who practise them and punishing those who practise undesired behaviour. Between theory X, Y and Z, theory Y is the best approach when motivation of employees is sought. Theory Y is more objective in achieving high performance. This approach appreciates the potential of employees and seeks to work together with them towards the achievement of organizational objectives. Having a diverse
