Space exploration is one of the most rapidly developing science which is known for its high financial implications and advanced cutting-edge technologies. Life beyond the planet was always an object of researches and investigation. Many new developments, equipment, and discoveries from space are notably useful and efficient for improving the level and the quality of life on the Earth. The history of that kind of researches started in ancient times when philosophers tried to investigate the night sky to find out the system of stars arrangement. Since then, studies in this field have progressed in a significant way, and now people even have their own space station in Earth orbit. Nowadays, there are specialized organizations such as the Aerospace Industries Association or American Astronautical Society the goal of which is to explore space. The purpose of this paper is to describe the particularities of space exploration, taking into consideration its advantages and disadvantages for humanity, ethical questions, and predictions about the future of this industry. Space Exploration It is an erroneous belief that the exploration of space does not have any impact on the life of ordinary humans. It improves the quality of the life of millions of people every day: the technologies designed for space studies are now used in the medical sphere and for conducting other experiments (Rai et al., 2016). Nevertheless, space research also poses many ethical questions to society concerning colonization, financial resources, and ecological issues. With the advancement of this science, increasingly more questions rest without any answers. For many people who are not very familiar with the topic, it seems to be a complete waste of the governmental budget and just a way for experts to entertain themselves. In the era of Gagarin and first trips into space, being a cosmonaut was considered to be highly prestigious, respected, and, at the same time, romantic. At the present moment, this science went too far away frthe om basic understanding that people regret that their taxes are spent on the exploration of the place that they would never visit. The attitude of the researchers in this field is rather ambivalent; the main beneficial and negative points of space exploration would be covered in the next parts to make the argumentative and clear statement. Benefits of Space Exploration The investigation of space has many advantages for society despite the fact that they are not highly notable for an ordinary person. For example, space researches encourage studies of different types of science (Panesor, 2009). What is more, the young specialists in chemistry, biology, or engineering become interested in the space sphere (Panesor, 2009). It is profitable for both sides – students provide innovative ideas, and the research centers help the new generation of scientists to get
Contemporary business arenas call upon business leaders to adopt strategies and policies that can enhance their organization’s competitiveness. Competition in the airline industry calls upon players to adopt strategies that improve their service quality and create good relations with customers. When opening an extra terminal, terminal 4(), Changi Airport Singapore should enact improvement initiatives that increases successes and reduces failures to attain competitive excellence in today’s market (Cicerone, Hekele & Morado, 2009). This report addresses crucial operational and service excellence strategies that Changi Airports Group (CAG) should adopt to make the new terminal 4 (T4). Critical to quality (CTQs) from passengers’ perspective When designing, placing, and making interior decorations for the new terminal, critical to quality (CTQs) management lead by Lee Seow Hiang should consider factors/policies likely to improve customer feeling/customer experience when using the terminal. With this in mind, the management should think of the factors that customers are likely to perceive pleasant. When a passenger jets into the country, whether returning or visiting passenger, the first impression he gets from the terminal determines the perception and attitude that he creates about the airport and probably the country. The management should ensure that the terminal has impeccable terminal arrival areas with directional signs likely to offer quality guideline to the passage. The music playing in the terminal area should not be destructive to the minds of the passengers; it is wanted to have soothing background music. Color themes and lighting choices comes into play in the terminal areas, the choice of colors should not be screaming however they should offer a sense of harmony, peace, and are comforting. Interior design of the terminal should be attracting and accommodating. Other than the interior design of the terminal, the management should consider having helping, loyal, attractive, smart, dedicated, and courteous staffs in the terminal. The personnel should have a wide understanding of different international languages to accommodate people of different nationalities effectively. The terminal should have some additional delicacies to passengers in the efforts of ensuring they feel wel
Aristotle is considered to be one of the greatest Greek philosophers that ever lived according to the Encyclopedia of Classical philosophy (1997). He lived between 384 B.C. and 322 B.C. having accomplished a lot in philosophy and all other fields of Education. At the age of seven, he joined Plato’s academy where he became one of his favorite student. He later on became a researcher then a teacher in the same institution. In his life, he taught Alexander the Great who at the time was thirteen years of age, at the invitation of his father King Phillip II. This great philosopher was born in a town called Stageira in Chalcidice. Later on at the age of eighteen, he moved to Athens to study and this became his home for the next twenty years, after which he moved to Asia after the death of Plato where he concentrated in the study of biology at Lesbos Island. In fact, Meet the Philosophers of Ancient Greece (2005) indicates that he conducted most of his research in this period. There are a number of significant events which took place during the times of Aristotle and which had an impact in his life. In Athens where he had lived for almost twenty years, there was the anti-Macedonia uprising around 347 B.C. which led to a series of political unrests. Being of Macedonian origin, he was forced to flee the country as indicated in The Columbia Encyclopedia (2008). Later on, King Philip came to power and restored peace between Macedonia and Athens, a gesture that saw to the return of peace. In 323 B.C. however, the political unrest revived again after the rule of Alexander the Great came to an end. Aristotle was considered to be a great sympathizer of Alexander and these latter revolts were directly focused on him. He was charged with blasphemy and forced to flee the country together with his family (Bryant 1996). With the help of other scholars, Aristotle was able to establish his own school, the Lyceum which was later renamed to Peripatetic. According to the Encyclopedia of classical philosophy (1997), Alexander the Great who was one of Aristotle’s students “financed his research in Peripatetic and had ordered hunters, fishermen, bird-catchers, beekeepers and other professionals to convey to Aristotle any information of scientific interest” (pg 1). The coming down of Alexander’s reign had negative effects to the life of Aristotle since it caused a security threat forcing him to flee (Bechler 1995). Besides this the death of Plato also caused a major turn of events in the life of Aristotle. This owes to the fact that he left the Academy and started working on his own philosophical dissertations. After fleeing Athens in 323 BC, Aristotle’s life came to an end in 322 BC after an ailment of the digestive organs (Bar and Bat 1994). His work was considered as the most influential in the world of philosophy and was widely used between the period of antiquity and renaissance. He had a great influence in the wester
Introduction Aerospace legislation represents the laws, rules, and regulations enacted by the legislature to govern the conduct of the aerospace industry. In Europe, the task of air regulation and civilian aviation safety are under the docket of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA 1). This agency was created in the year 2002 and has been effective in performing the duty of regulating the aerospace industry in the European Union. EASA achieved its full functionality in 2008 (EASA 1). Its main tasks include:  1. Providing advice to the European Union on ways to draft new legislations  2. Implementing safety rules and maintaining the air standards of member states  3. Certifying the type of aircrafts within the EU region  4. Certifying the quality of components used in aircrafts  5. Approving organizations that design aircrafts and their components EASA has the power to issue approval certificates to aircrafts. Moreover they approve airworthiness of aircrafts and approve the quality of aircraft parts such as engines and propellers. EASA works in collusion with the aviation authorities within the European Union to ensure that maintenance of aircrafts is up to the required standards (EASA 2). The aviation industry in Europe has formulated rules and regulations that govern aircraft maintenance, organization structure, and planning(EASA 11). This paper will therefore discuss the management procedures involved in maintenance, the functions of the maintenance department and maintenance processes. In addition, the paper discusses the rules and regulations of maintenance procedures and safety as per the European Aviation Safety Agency manual. Aircraft Maintenance Planning Procedures   * Technical Log: It is a data sheet that records all information on technical procedures and operation for each aircraft that has taken flight. Technical data includes information on
Introduction The paper summarizes the process of forming and institutionalizing of the United Arab Emirates federation by the Trucial States. The author focused on the involvement of Britain, local contribution, and challenge the Trucial states encountered before and after forming the federation. Challenges According to the author, the Trucial States faced many challenges that affected the formation of the UAE federation. One of the challenges was the unplanned withdrawal of the British. The British left without making arrangements with local rulers forcing the Trucial States to rely on the existing traditional structures and institutions. For instance, the model for the supreme council of rulers, the Trucial states Development council, and the Trucial Oman scouts was adopted as the basis upon which the federation was established. Another challenge was the unsettled issue of disputed borders. Though Britain had helped these states to reach some agreement, everything collapsed upon their untimely withdrawal. Another challenge was the difficulty of reaching out to all the seven Trucial states. Out of the seven states, it was not clear as to who would be interested in joining the federation. The other challenge was the issue of powerful neighbors surrounding these states. Iran was entangled in ownership row with some states such as Abu Musa. The other claimant was Saudi Arabia, who had for a long time asserted claims to some parts of Abu Dhabi. Nevertheless, under the great leadership of all of the seven states, the UAE federation was formed. Sheikh Zayed, the ruler of Abu Dhabi, was instrumental in the processes leading to the formation of the federation. He offered assistance in the form of institutional and financial support to all Trucial States. Most importantly, through the ‘Abu Dhabi Fund for Development,’ he was able to provide aid to the Trucial States. The other great advantage was the harmony in which the rulers of the seven states conducted their affairs. Because of their transparency, people trusted their leaders, and every decision they made was quickly implemented. Without wasting much time, the leaders embarked on their first responsibility-enacting the constitution. The constitution was to act as a platform for institutionalization. It espoused some values from the Western countries and local formulas for administering power. For instance, the Federal Supreme Council was established and had political authority, executive authority, and parliamentary responsibilities. Each ruler of the Trucial states had a single vote on legislative matters. However, the veto powers were given to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai because of their contributions towards the establishment of the union. With the veto powers, it meant that other states would not transact serious business without the consent of the Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The newly established union also faced some challenges. Sheikh Khalid, the ruler of Sharjah, was assassinated in 1972. Also, t
Introduction This assignment focuses on the development of a personal integrative theory of personality. The paper covers major concepts and theorists from the seven models that explain personality. A single concept will be chosen from the seven models to develop the narrative, while other concepts excluded will also be highlighted with the rationale for their exclusion. Further, the assignment will also cover the roles of heredity, the environment, and epigenetics while highlighting personality disorders. Finally, the last section is a self-reflection, which depicts changes in my views and describes how theories explain my personality. Human personality, which defined as vital relatively stable aspects of behavior, is fascinating, as these concepts show because there is yet no single finest theory of personality to explore the personality, while many theorists who have studied the issue have often disagreed on personality development (Ewen, 2003). Hence, there is no clear-cut response to issues related to the narratives surrounding personality. Only objective evaluation of human personality based on comparison of various theories can make the subject interesting and thought-provoking. Major Concepts Various theorists have proposed seven major models on personality. Psychodynamic Model Concept The major personality concept in this model is that the unconscious proposed by Sigmund Freud. That is, several aspects of personality can only be realized when they come to consciousness. Individuals tend to conceal unpleasant truths through defense strategies while wishes, desires, fears, and conflicts, most of which remain unknown. Aggressive sexual instincts control human nature (Ewen, 2003). Neurobiological Model Concept The gene-environment interaction depicts a complex process to determine individuals’ personality types (Oldham, 2004). The proponent of this concept is Larry J. Siever. Behavioral Model Concept The behavioral model emphasizes that behaviors are acquired by learning to result from conditioning and interaction with environments. Consequently, people would respond to environmental stimuli, which in turn shape their behaviors. B. F. Skinner shaped this behavioral concept. Cognitive Model Concept Albert Bandura showed that a particular situation, which is a perceived self-efficacy, had a critical influence on individual behaviors with regard to what people believe they can perform. Interpersonal/Relational Model Concept Alan Page Fiske developed a framework for social behavior based on four essential models, which are depicted as universal cognitive structures. They included “communal sharing, authority ranking, equality matching, and market pricing” variations responsible for thought and behavior in every aspect of social life in all cultures (Caralis & Haslam, 2004). Trait Model Concept The trait model concept of personality shows that personality is made up of many other broad traits or characters. Specifically, the notable elements are observed in individual differences. One renowned theorist of the trait mod
Introduction Diplomacy has always been one of the most humane methods of achieving political goals. Negotiations are better than violence, so the quality of a diplomat’s skills influences the negotiated situation directly. In other words, the usefulness of a diplomat depends on the experience, negotiation skills, charisma, and other important characteristics that must be demonstrated in very difficult circumstances and under great pressure sometimes. It all makes the requirements to the professional diplomat extremely high. Celebrities have one very distinctive feature to have an influence on people. It is fame. Their efforts as diplomats that represent some organization or a country are not based on their professional experience. They are based on the trust of people who recognize celebrities as the people with the power to influence important social and political processes in a country or region. Despite the obvious lack of professionalism and experience, celebrity diplomats can achieve results. Considering the growing influence of the celebrity diplomacy concept in the sphere of international and domestic politics, the paper is aimed at summarizing the article “From A-lister to Aid Worker: Does Celebrity Diplomacy Really Work?” by Paul Vallely, exploring the influence of celebrity diplomacy on the development of the fragile states, and arguing about the impact that celebrity diplomacy has on the traditional diplomats. Summary The article “From A-lister to Aid Worker: Does Celebrity Diplomacy Really Work?” by Paul Vallely explores the issue of the usefulness or uselessness of such a concept as celebrity diplomacy. The author states that the phenomenon of celebrity diplomacy raises certain questions regarding the appropriateness of such activities of celebrities in the area in which they have zero experience. The fears are about the impact of the unprofessional activities of the celebrities on the political and social processes, especially in the undeveloped and developing regions like Africa, for example. The idea of involving celebrities in political campaigns and various international social programs is not new. However, the experience of such endeavors has not always been successful. The author provides the examples of Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Sophia Loren, Geri Halliwell, Paul McCartney, Heather Mills, George Weah, Bono, Bob Geldof, Eric Clapton, and some others to demonstrate that fame and recognition in the professional sphere would it be music, movies, or sports, cannot guarantee the same success in such area as diplomacy, fundraising for non-government organizations (NGOs), and political activities. In fact, there are not that many successful examples of celebrity diplomacy. Vallely explores the activities of Bob Geldof, Bono, and Angelina Jolie only as these celebrities have managed to become noticeable as the lobbyists of the interests of people. He emphasizes the role of celebrities in fundraising, for example, and or
Organisation Culture Profile The organizational culture inventory seeks to measure how the constituent members of an organization blend or interrelate with respect to such things as shared values, beliefs, and practices (Kotter J.P and Hesket J, L 1992). The Organisational Culture Inventory (OCI) was administered and the results were compared against 5685 members of other organizations. Basically, through looking at the organizational culture inventory we are able to see what is being encouraged by the organization and from it derive its strengths and strategies. The inventory should at the very least give an overview of what is expected from each individual member of the organization (Kotter J.P and Hesket J, L 1992). Current Culture and ideal culture The passive/defensive culture allows people to interact with others in such a way that they do not challenge themselves. It leaves little room for self-motivation in such a way that an individual will strive to outdo others or his previous performance (Kotter J.P and Hesket J, L 1992). In the current culture, approval culture seems to be high at 97% unlike in ideal where it is only 27%. This is a reflection of the reduced need to be accepted and liked by others. Common to the approval culture employees strive to be accepted by colleagues. This may be achieved by being agreeable and obedient. Generally, there has been a decline in all cultures in the passive/defensive culture also shown by an equal decline in the conventional culture by 70% which may be an indication of the decline in the need to conform to the working environment with employees striving to achieve more attention. There is also a need for less concentration and a preference for security and a predictable working environment. The decline in the dependant culture is not as significant which is only 5% which may indicate that the employees still reflect a need for self-protection and th

We are going to communicate with local companies, and we hope that our services would be helpful for the community. Pricing Strategies It is necessary to discuss a broad range of approaches that may be utilized by an enterprise when setting the price for a particular product. The penetration strategy is preferred when a market is already established and a firm is trying to get a competitive advantage by selling items rather cheaply. This technique is appropriate when consumers are sensitive to the price and an enterprise is determined to achieve acceptance (Ferrell & Hartline, 2010). A
