People vote depending on their preferences. Since voting is optional, there are individuals who usually do not vote. They evade voting due to ignorance of the importance of the democratic process. Electors should acquaint themselves with constructive rationales for voting caring leaders. Firstly, one reason for voting is that every vote is vital. People vote to avoid letting others decide for them who will lead them. They understand that a single vote can determine the winner of an election. There are instances that winners have been settled on by a single vote. In some cases, leaders have been decided by a flip of a coin (Willett). People, therefore, vote to exercise their civil rights and influence the outcome of elections. Subsequently, people vote to protect their health. A number of electors understand that an elected leader has the power to determine the value of health care insurance they would get (Willett). They want quality healthy care services but do not want to be over taxed. They vote leaders who will provide affordable heath care services. Women also can abort after a few judges rule that it is legally acceptable. Electors who are not pleased with such life threatening decision made by a few individuals would prefer to vote in pro-life leaders(Willett). Another reason for voting is to protect historical interests. This means people vote to honor those who fought of their voting rights and human freedoms in the community. In the past, adults younger than twenty-one years, members of minority communities, and women did not have the right to vote. Patriotic citizens sacrificed to fight laws that were holding them captive. People vote in honor of these heroes. The idea behind this reason is if one sacrifices his/her life to fight for others, then people feel the rights are highly essential, and they do not ignore to exercise the rights. They vote to decide who among the historical heroes represented their interests (Willett). Moreover, people vote to decide the destiny of their children and dependants. They decide the destiny of the future generations. This is because leaders make choices that influence both current and future lifestyles (Hardcastle). The laws enacted in parliament regarding education, investment, and the right to life determines the lifestyle other generations will lead. Therefore, many people vote to secure a bright future for their children, grandchildren, and the preceding generations. In addition, they vote to lead by example. A parent, older sibling, or friend demonstrates responsibility by voting. When members of the younger generations learn that their older siblings or relatives are voting, they may become lifelong voters(Willett). In addition, people also vote to lose the right to complain. In spite of the outcome of an election, voting helps electors to gain psychological sense of satisfaction (Hardcastle). After voting, they feel that they have played their roles. They also feel to be part of the future. This motive makes people discover their political strengths and weakness. They also learn ab
Introduction The article ‘SEC adds millions to developer’s alleged fraud in Seattle’ features a recent multi-million fraud scandal involving Lobsang Dargey, developer at Path America. Dargey is facing trial for a case of fraud amounting to millions of dollars (Bhatt, 2015). According to the U.S. immigrations laws, anyone who wishes to invest half a million dollars in the American economy may be entitled to the EB-5 visa program (Bhatt, 2015). Dargey used the visa program as a façade for his fraud luring about 250 Chinese businessmen into investing as much as $125 million for two real estate projects (SEC, 2015). The investors who agreed to finance the projects were promised by Dargey that their funds would be used in accordance with EB-5 program goals when in reality, only $17 million was used by Dargey for legitimate purposes while the remaining $63 were spent on unrelated projects not eligible for EB-5 visa program (SEC, 2015). Key issues The fraud case has gained its notorious popularity because it is international in nature. Moreover, the case revolves around socially-important, large-scale real-estate projects: a skyscraper in Seattle and a commercial and residential development. Undoubtedly, the magnitude of the fraud affects many parties involved, both inside and outside the U.S. Involved stakeholders According to the United States District Court (2015) “Most of the direct victims of this fraud are foreign nationals seeking residency in the United States” (p. 2). The court referred mainly to the direct victims of the fraud, who had lost their money hoping to obtain citizenship in the U.S. However, the court’s ruling to freeze Path America’s bank accounts, a company owned by Lobsang Dargey, put a halt to several large-scale projects leaving thousands of U.S. citizens without jobs. Choices and tradeoffs Although the involved parties could request their money back, interestingly, very few of the investors asked for a refund (Bhatt, 2015). The main reason is that the real-estate project is 95% complete, and there is little to no sense for investors to back up now (Bhatt, 2015). Furthermore, the project created job places which are eligible for obtaining a green card. Dargey’s attorney said that the court ruling to freeze the bank accounts will have ramifications for the immigrant investors who are hoping to obtain EB-5 visas (Bhatt, 2015). Questions raised The case of fraud will have an impact that will touch upon many areas and involve many stakeholders. Firstly, the EB-5 visa program that attracts investment from overseas and creates jobs for U.S. c
Introduction The use of technologies to mechanize and enhance responsibilities consistently discharged by humans is expected to grow tremendously. Incidentally, experts have created drones that can seamlessly execute the majority of duties that were once discharged manually. In the past, people associated drones with the United States’ “military fleet of unmanned vehicles used for surveillance purposes” (Wall & Monahan, 2011, p. 254). Drones were initially designed for military use. However, today, there are individual drones used for commercial purposes. Drones have capacities that surpass those of mobile gadgets like tablets and smartphones. Indeed, the benefits of drones are incomparable to their demerits. They aid in recording videos and capturing images of expansive areas that are inaccessible. In 2015, it is estimated that over 40,000 drones will be operated to help in monitoring and surveying remote regions worldwide. Moreover, drones enable institutions to appraise and share data in real time, therefore making knowledgeable and faster decisions. This paper will discuss the benefits of drones to humanity. Benefits of Drones Law Enforcement Law enforcement agencies use drones to impose law and order. For instance, in the United States, security personnel use drones to search for lost children. United States is dotted with forests that are difficult and dangerous to infiltrate. Cases of children and adults disappearing in the forests are common. Conducting a physical search of the lost children may pose a danger to security personnel. Therefore, security personnel uses drones equipped with thermal imaging gadgets to search for the missing persons (Andreas, 2006). The drones not only accelerate the searching exercise, but also free some personnel to execute other duties. Andreas (2006) claims that drones help security officials to track suspects and conduct tactical surveillance. Today, many illegal immigrants close the border between the United States and Canada. The two countries do not have adequate personnel to monitor the expansive border. Therefore, they use drones to monitor and track illegal immigrants. Indeed, drones have helped to curb cases of criminals smuggling drugs Mexico into the United States. Bloss (2007) argues that drones have made it easy for law enforcement agents to monitor large crowds during public events. Public events attract people from all walks of life. Even though the police may screen everyone getting into a public event, it is hard to prevent some criminals from executing their plans. There needs to be something that can help law enforcement agents to have an aerial view of everything that is happening in the course of the events. Security personnel fly drones above the crowds, which help them to record all that it is happening. In case of an incident, they replay the recording and identify the perpetrat
Introduction In this modern era no one is ready for waiting. Time is very important. It increases the necessity of help desk. As the word indicates, help desk is for helping the public for the smooth running of their activities. Almost all sectors, such as, business, education, medical field, etc. have help desk. Because of its importance its inefficiency will affect the related sectors very badly. In many situations help desk raise many problems. IT support problems are not diminishing As a result of fast growth, IT sector gives support for customer service. So customer satisfaction in service level must increase. But according to Customer Strategies Survey conducted in 2006 November “Customer satisfaction is taking a hit as problems with billing, e-mail response time, service quality and other nagging issues drag on.” (Alter, 2006). Customer satisfaction has decreased in 2006 compared to 2005. The report says that help voice-routing and accounting sector faced more service problems in 2006. Other help desk areas which deteriorated their performance in 2006 compared to 2005 are e-mail responding, call centers, inventory management, returning merchandise, difficulty in real time discussion, difficulty in website usage, inability to identify frauds and attack against privacy. (Alter, 2006). In some areas IT support for customer service has improved its performance. But it did not outperform the other areas. According to this report major reasons for this diminishing performance are:  1. companies try to catch new clients even if they cannot handle their existing clients very well  2. many companies cannot use the Internet at optimum level for their customer service  3. many companies are not able to manage their collected data properly  4. almost all companies have sales and marketing methods, but they do not have proper customer service strategies. In the last year I purchased flash software from the Internet. Then I tried to install that software into my laptop. But installation failed due to some reason. I sent an e-mail to the helpdesk. But they did not give any reply to me. Then again I sent another mail. This time also they did not attend to my complaint. The third time when I sent them a mail using harsh words they reacted. They called me and informed the methods for the installation of flash. Major reasons for this type of problem are:  1. unawareness of helpdesk staff in the working field; in some situations management is forced to employ staffs with lesser efficiency;  2. technology and techniques have very much deve
Issues that relate to the cultural competence of junior medical personnel are an essential aspect of the activities of any clinic that specializes in providing comprehensive medical services to patients. Achieving high performance is impossible not only without sufficient motivation of employees but also without respect for specific ethical standards. The quality of care depends on how well the medical worker understands the significance of all the activities done and understands what issues may arise. Therefore, the improvement of nurses’ cultural competence is relevant and essential work that the management of any medical institution should control. Issue of Caring for People with Different Social Backgrounds One of the issues associated with the cultural competence of nurses relates to the following question: how should junior medical personnel treat patients with different social backgrounds? As workers often face the need to care for people of different races, nationalities, and ages, problems connected with mutual understanding may arise (Purnell 79). In this case, it is required to ensure conditions for patients to feel safe and have sufficient medical assistance. Management should ensure that subordinates do not violate the rules of nursing ethics and assist their wards well regardless of their social status, age or nationality (Smit and Tremethick 133). If this issue is resolved, healthcare institutions will undoubtedly receive positive feedback from grateful patients and will be able to provide highly qualified assistance. Issue of Professional Secrecy Another issue that relates to improving the cultural competence of the nursing staff of medical clinics is as follows: are junior medical workers obliged to preserve professional secrecy and confidential information or not? There are cases where patients face quite serious problems, and sometimes they do not want any third party to know about them. Professional nurses are not to provide such data to anyone unless patients are willing to share particular circumstances of their lives (Gallagher and Polanin 335). Also, as Holland remarks, this issue is relevant in case some people are interested in the state of patients in order to clarify specific events (114). It can be, for example, the task of insurance agents or police representatives. In this case, nurses can disclose confidential information only with the patient’s consent. This principle is an indispensable condition for the observance of nursing ethics and should be supported in all medical institutions. Issue of Relations in the Team Increasing cultural competence among health workers requires discussing the following issue: are employees obliged to show respect for one another or not? Medical ethics does not imply strict observance of norms of communication between colleagues. Nevertheless, some unspoken rules provide for mutual support and assistance among employees (Delgado et al. 209). When the team is work
The time of the global economic and financial stagnation has brought lots of innovations, or returns to the past ideas, in the sphere of economic regulations. The credit crunch crisis has also added to the instability in the countries, and the United Kingdom Government has taken serious steps to fight that instability by increasing its share in certain banks and building society, and by the literal implementation of the state-run economy. Such a policy has its pros and cons, as well as its influence upon the development of the country’s economy can be different. This paper examines the ways in which the state regulated economy can change the balance of powers in the UK production and sales areas. Initially, it is necessary to state that the economy of the United Kingdom is the capitalist one, which presupposes the existence of private entrepreneurship and businesses (CIA, 2009). The implementation of the state regulated economy will inevitably damage the principles of freedom in business and result in the decrease of the performance efficiency of the small and medium sized businesses. Moreover, such a situation will obviously make the foreign investors more cautious about investing their funds into the UK based production centers and manufactures. Accordingly, the main production areas of the United Kingdom will suffer from the lack of freedom and state regulation of economy (Economy Watch, 2009). Among the main products that the United Kingdom launches to its domestic and international markets there are machine building production, vehicles, technological equipment, oil, petroleum, clothes, food and food processing services, etc (CIA, 2009). These branches of economy are known to be on the decrease of their production and sales rates as far as the demand to these products and services has been decreasing over the recent months. The prices for the goods and services aforesaid are also falling causing the losses to their producers who, moreover, have to cut their production facilities because of the inability to fund all the nation- and worldwide networks. In this situation, state regulation of the economy can damage the interests of these producers further (Economy Watch, 2009). However, the positive sides of t
Invention is one of the prewriting techniques used in writing essays. It refers to the creation of new ideas in relation to the question given or the use of old ideas to come up with new ideas in writing. This is a very important strategy as it encourages critical thinking and creativity in essay writing. Many students, who write compositions, prefer this prewriting technique because apart from encouraging critical thinking, it also enables them to write about subjects that are unique and intriguing. Hence, the participation of old ideas in prewriting entails the consideration of other writers’ ideas towards the subject to be written. The writer formulates new ideas, by taking the old ideas and using them together with his own ideas, creating an entirely new idea. As much as some might consider this as plagiarism, it is not, because the writer does not copyright other people’s ideas but rather use them to formulate his own ideas. In writing, there are several stages that are involved in order to come up with a well written essay. These stages make up the writing process and provide a framework for writing an essay. The stages include; prewriting, writing, revising, editing and publishing. Under each stage, there are several sub stages and they all ensure the essay written is perfect. In this case, the prewriting stage is the first stage in the writing process. Therefore, it refers to the process of coming up with an idea/ideas in writing through a variety of methods such as invention, brainstorming and free writing. These methods of prewriting provide a ground for the writer to know what idea/ideas to explore in his writing. Depending on one’s choice, any of the methods mentioned above would do well in the deciding of the appropriate idea to include in writing. Brainstorming involves the exploration of ideas that come up in relation to one’s initial idea. In this case, the writer writes down a sentence, or a phrase then constructs other sentences that would help in the building of the initial and main idea. Thus, the writer would use a variety of sentences then counter check the sentences to select the ideas that are in line with what he wants to write by leaving out those that are irrelevant. Under free writing, the writer writes down sentences in an open or focused manner. That is the writer does not decide on one idea from the word go but in a piece of paper, writes down many ideas then later on decides on one idea that suits his content. Therefore, when inventing an idea, there are a few strategies that should be put in place. A brief invention involves a quick thought of an idea, written down then the writer comes up with other ideas that would support it. This can be made possible by involving prior ideas of other writers and the use of the computer can act as a good way of getting informat
Introduction What do Microsoft Corporation, Marks & Spencer, and Mambo Graphics have in common? One thing that made them related to each other is that they were known in their fields and achieved more than what they expected. This, they owe to the power of outsourcing. They did not rely on the skills and capabilities of their employees internally. They took time to explore new possibilities for how to be more competitive with the market. They learned that outsourcing can be a very good tool in achieving one’s goal. Highly skilled operators, programmers, agents for a specific insurance company, or even call center agents are hired to provide a certain function that cannot be provided within the country or the state. Lever (1997 pp. 6) defined outsourcing as the contracted services outside a company or even outside the country to do a specific job or function. “Outsourcing or contracting started was initiated in the manufacturing business in the early 1980s primarily as a means of cutting back staff and saving on wages” (Ryans, 1996 pp. 15). They are commonly called third-party providers or simply service providers. Outsourcing: definition and relevance Outsourcing is now more preferred by most organizations rather than developing in-house talents. Such strategy is in line with the goal of the management to continually innovate the human resources, management, and technology of the company. It is seen as more cost-
My encounters with suicide information have always been accidental or through deliberate efforts to search for data. In my educational journey, I do not remember a time when evidence on suicide prevention was provided for students to access. The accidental encounters involved reading through books, particularly of Judas and Samson in the Bible, and novels and short stories, such as Chicken Soup for the Soul . I did not perceive the information as I do today because I never understood its importance and meaning. In the past five years, I have seen and heard several cases of suicide through the media, personal confessions, and interaction with literature (NSU, 2013). I still believe that there is an insufficient effort by authorities to provide information on suicide prevention although many Americans die every year through the act, making suicide one of the leading causes of death. More information is not shared with Americans for several reasons. The stigmatization of suicidal acts or signs discourages potential victims from seeking or accessing information because they fear being judged. Self-annihilation is linked to some of the oldest and most profitable industries, including guns and alcohol. Focusing on guns and alcohol while addressing the problem is a threat to businesses. Therefore, there are efforts to prevent more Americans from accessing information due to the benefits of guns and alcohol producers. Some people cannot get evidence because authorities disregard suicidal cases (NSU, 2013). Prevention programs involve various stakeholders within communities, and authorities are well-positioned to enhance collaboration between different interested parties. After watching the video, there are several key lessons from Dr. Poland and Dr. Flemons. Talking about suicide within the school environment is as important as the monthly fire drills. With students and teachers being increasingly under pressure, they should be trained in detecting and understanding signs of suicide among peers. Moreover, schools should provide a safe environment where students report any suspected cases of suicide (NSU, 2013). The effective way of implementing best practices for prevention involves developing and disseminating literature. Reference NSU. (2013). Schools and suicide prevention . YouTube. Web.
