Family Dynamics

Nick Vehlewald Mrs. Stotler English 110. 4 17 October 2012 Family Dynamics The way a family works has changed in the last decade or two. Back when this generations parents were kids and even when their parents were young, it is very different than young people today. A perfect example would be the television show â€Å"Leave it to Beaver†, which aired in 1957. It was about the Cleavers, an All American Family, trying to keep their youngest son Theodore â€Å"Beaver† out of trouble.He always finds his way into trouble, at the end of the episode his parents always help him by giving him advice an good life lessons. That show represents how families were close and protected each other. Now, in the 21st century, many families and even communities are not as close. There are less family nights, and some kids do not even go to the parents for help or to talk to, and neighborhoods are neither as safe nor a community as they were, where kids will be playing outside and parents don’t have to stress about the kids getting hurt or lost.Kids rely on social media to express their feelings instead of talking to their parents on what is occurring in their life. One of the main reasons of family destruction is divorce. Gathered research from Oregon State University states â€Å"Divorces’ have increased 22% since 1980 in the United States† (23). Children did not have to deal with that in the past generations. That is the most prevalent occurrence in society today. This did not happen before because divorce was not socially acceptable back then.Society used to believe that marriage was permanent and spouses were meant to stay together no matter the reason. The traditional family structure in the US is considered a family support system involving two married individuals providing care and stability for their biological offspring, however this type of family has become less prevalent, and other family forms have become relevant. In the television show â€Å"Leave it to Beaver† every show was family oriented. It was like watching a real family working through the trials and ribulations that every family will go through on a regular basis. What was different about this family than a real family was that everything always ended on a positive note, the mother and father solving or fixing the problem and helping their children. That did not always work in the real life. Sometimes fights will last a couple hours, days or weeks. People watching the show did not understand that concept. They see the Cleavers being able to work out similar problems but in their household it isn’t that easy.So families and most part parents, would get frustrated and think that they are not a well functioning family. â€Å"There are over 4600 traits and in a family, all traits are demonstrated by the family members. Wherever you have chaos, someone else will have order. Wherever you have order, someone else will have chaos† (1). T his is just how a family works, you have to deal with each others differences and still love each and every member. Families have big issues with trying to be perfect, but they need to understand that individuals cannot expect their family to act and function like an artificial one.The biggest change in family dynamics in the past decades are, moms used to be at home cooking and cleaning doing the responsibilities around the house. That is not the case any more. Mothers are in the work force, doing their part for the family. â€Å"Employment rate of woman since the 1950’s has risen 74%, for full time jobs, and 29% part time jobs† (1). This was never the case before, it was always the father’s job to work and make the money to provide for the family. It has changed drastically since WWII. â€Å"In a study conducted by the Center for American Progress in 2010, only 27. percent of homes in the US had caregiver. Compared to 1975 where more than half the homes had a care giver†(32). The father figure has been affected so much that there are even stay-at-home dads now, where the mother would work and the father would take care of the domestic duties. Stay-at-home dads are fathers that do not participate in the labor market and raise their children. They are the male equivalent to housewives. This is not as popular in American society. There are estimated 105,000 stay-at-home dads in the US today. He would have been a disgrace to the workingman sixty years ago.The main reason for the advancement of mothers in society was woman’s goals have changed drastically. Shifting from the typical housewife that does the cooking, washing, and cleaning, to powerful women that are standing up for them and joining the male society in working for a living. Since then women have been making there way into the workforce, by proving themselves with valuable resource that will help them in every day life. There are a voluminous amount of jobs that wome n could do a lot better than a man because of what they know and the experiences they have had.For instance, making clothing, cooking in a restaurant, and money management. Women are changing the workforce, something that know one would have predicted. The men were always know as the breadwinners of the family but women are taking advantage of the women movement to become financially independent. Also others things have occurred in this day that have never been dealt with before. Same sex marriage. This is something know one has seen before or had to deal with in the past decades.The common way was a man marries a woman; they have children and live happily ever after. There was no such thing as gay marriage or partnerships between two men or two women. This is a huge difference then what the generations before us are used to. The changing times are moving to fast for some people and they can not get used to the idea of two men or two woman raising children. This changes the lives of the kids drastically. They grow up thinking that they have two mommies or daddies and it is perfectly ok and normal, but what they do not know is that they are unique.They will grow up and have a whole different perspective on life, from being raised in such a different family life. The kids will be very confused growing up in this world. Seeing all other kids with a mom and a dad and wondering why they are different. The children are discriminated against for having same sex parents. â€Å"Nationally, 66% female couples, 44% males couples live with children under eighteen years of age† (5). America needs to adapt to the changing times and understand it is not going to be the same as it used to be.

Accounts Receivable Crisis

The following criteria will consist of a complete record of all credit amounts which include precise approval and maturity periods, simple debtor background information such as employment position, how they receive money, amount of family members in household, and current place in which they reside. In addition, various documents that shows the exact date in which our establishment physically acquired funds from the patient will also need to be requested. Ill. In order to resolve this problem, a combined effort from all departments within this organization must be implemented.This Includes the Administrative department, the Finance department, the Health Information Management department, as well as the patient. Each department will provide a specific set of functions from various resources to the overall execution of the newly designed plan. L. Administrative department As you may well know, Admission and Registration Is probably the most Important department and is the first line o f defense against this pressing issue. Properly documenting critical patient data, such as insurance information can literally save a inconsiderable amount of money as well as ensure a faster payment.In an effort to reduce employee errors involving insurance changes during this phase of the process, an Increased amount AT training classes well De contacted Tanat would explain in full detail about what the procedures are for checking in a patient and a special session that focuses on proper insurance data collecting. In addition to this, a staff member suggested that a full time individual be utilized on a 24 hour basis. The full time clerk will be responsible for the inspection of all other employees' paperwork to catch any discrepancies that might occur. According to Brown,J.Oily 2000), â€Å"Manual Claim Reviews including utilization and medical reviews are conducted by trained specialists. Staff specialists review specific claims with established program and medical policy, with previously paid claims, and with other information to decide if Medicaid should pay for the services. † Once this task is complete, the data will be passed on to the medical record department for further processing. Lie. Finance department To reduce the number of days that funds remain within Accounts Receivable, an analysis must first be conducted to determine which dollar amounts are either paid or delinquent.This objective typically requires the utilization of an Aging of Accounts Receivable Schedule, which can be retrieved from resources such as financial department records. According to Emerson, P. (n. D. ), â€Å"The accounts receivable schedule is a listing of the customers making up the total accounts receivable balance. Most businesses prepare an accounts receivable schedule at the end of the month. † Accessing this critical data can be quite useful and will give the company a such clearer picture as to why this issue is occurring. Iii.Health Information Manag ement department The Health Information Management department and medical coding personnel's contribution to controlling the Accounts Receivable dilemma consists of decreasing the influx of rejected claims from various insurance providers as well as ensuring that all submitted paperwork from the Administrative department is finalized and thoroughly checked for errors prior to submission. To accomplish these tasks, pertinent information such as reports, medical charts, and patient data should be adhered and referenced. ‘v.

Concept of Present Value

WHY IS THE CONCEPT OF PRESENT VALUE SO IMPORTANT FOR CORPORATE FINANCE? The importance of concept of present value to the world of corporate finance is that present value calculations are widely used in business and economics to provide a means to compare cash flows at different times. Present Value’s definition and simplistic formula used for normal purchases, the concept’s importance to corporate finance and why present value is the very first topic taught in finance classes explain that present value is an essential knowledgeable tool to ensure we make the best decisions with our money. However, first, What Does Present Value – PV Mean? Present value is â€Å"the current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows. Determining the appropriate discount rate is the key to properly valuing future cash flows, whether they are earnings or obligations. † Through the definition itself, an importance to corporate finance is explained as well as why professors begin a finance course with a basis explanation in the time value of money – discounting and investment risk included. In more detail, capital investment decisions are long-term corporate finance decisions relating to fixed assets and capital structure. Decisions are made with several criteria to consider, and where corporate management seeks to maximize value in the firm by the correctly calculated net present value when valued using an appropriate discount rate. It would be beneficial on a personal level for the following reasons; â€Å"Learning how to use a financial calculator to make present value calculations can help you decide whether you should accept a cash rebate, 0% financing on the purchase of a car or to pay points on a mortgage. Present value could often the first topic taught in any finance class, due to the fact that knowledge of this formula can be used for basic financial planning that will lead to larger level strategy – making the best company investment decisions.

Hamlet Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 15

Hamlet - Essay Example In the first soliloquy in Act 1 Scene 2, Hamlet reveals his deep affection for his late father and brings him out as a loving husband and respected father. Hamlet also reveals his anger towards his mother in the fact that she was hasty to get married to Hamlet’s uncle Claudius even before the dead King is buried. Consequently, the queen hastens the burial and doesn’t provide enough time to mourn for a respectable period of time â€Å"would have mourned longer, - married with mine uncle† (Shakespeare, 1601-1603). The loss of his father and the disloyal marriage of his mother to his uncle introduce to him the dilemma of whether or not to commit suicide or the wish to have his physical self cease to exist (Crapanzano, 1992). However, he understands well that he cannot die especially without properly mourning his father (Gorman, 2011). This urge to mourn his father a little takes the dimension of revenge after the encounter with the ghost of his dead father which rev eals to him the real murderer and charges Hamlet with the duty of revenging the dead King’s death. Through this scene, the audience understands the secret carried in Hamlet’s heart and enlightens the reader on why Hamlet is stunned, shocked and in greater grief than everyone else. The revelation by the Ghost enhances the dilemma for Hamlet to let his villain uncle to be or not to be since the ghost expects him to revenge his poison caused death. The pattern of dissatisfaction in self and delay in avenging his father’s murder is evident in Hamlet’s soliloquies. In Act 2 scene 2, Hamlet dilemma of avenging or not avenging his father’s death by killing his uncle is made known to the audience. Hamlet reveals to the audience his dissatisfaction in himself for his continued failure to revenge his father’s murder. He scolds himself â€Å"Dull and muddy-metalled rascal?† for having done nothing to revenge the death of his father. The

Religions Influencing the Policy Research Paper

Religions Influencing the Policy - Research Paper Example Though it has been assumed to play major roles in peace making around the world, divisions and battles have taken place in the name of religion. Over decades, religion has diversified and developed to include major religions like Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Christianity and Islam are the two major religions that have contributed to economic, social, political and cultural development in world societies. Christianity has over two billion followers throughout the world; God being the Supreme Being then there is Jesus the son of god believed to have died to save Christians from their sins and the Holy Spirit. Christians read the bible and believe in its teachings taught by pastors and priests across the world. Christianity describes the way of life, the reason for existence and the plans for the future nourished by the Holy Spirit. Christians believe that they should not have anything to do with politics instead they should simply preach the gospel. They insist that Christ died for our sins and rose on the third day but that does not make it a geographical or a social entity for violence or political gains (Livingston page 8). But this does not mean that Gods kingdom has nothing to do with the world or that politics are not important, it simply means that the gospel should not be reference for political violations. What Christians should strive for is how the politics will have impacts in their lives and how it can affect their belief in Jesus Christ and the church. It is believed that every Christian is a soldier of the Lord and there are Christians who entangle themselves with politics in the belief that God will not object. There is nothing wrong with fighting injustice or wanting things to be done differently because that’s part of expressing opinion but politics is not an easy way to take for Christians. There will always be question of why a Christians joins politics; their motives are they for fame, money, power or truly taking the seat to serve the people. Politics offers are promising and at times purity motives may be hard to sustain as one will be devoting more money, energy and time on politics than Christianity which encourages one to take on humble ways. Christians believe that you cannot eliminate wickedness by laws or legislation instead the easiest way which is also approved by God is through salvation and forgiveness of sins through his son Jesus. In the bible we see that God established government, but not political sciences that come up with new laws, better laws meant to make the world a better place or try to take advantage of the less elite. Government was meant to give people a leader who ensured that everyone lived according to God’s will and teachings (Livingston page 7). Politics cannot make a better world for humans to live in it or save souls but God can do both. The bible encourages people to follow and even obey the laws put across but it never gives a go ahead for Christians to be involved w ith politics. This is because Christianity is a big role the same goes for politics and keeping the balance between the two can be overwhelming. Keeping up with the two lives is nearly impossible that’s why Christians are encouraged to stick to their faith and practice the will of God which is spreading the gospel. Islam Islam has more than a billion followers who worship Allah, have Muhammad as their latest prophet and believe in angels. Muslims are the followers of Islam who are devoted to Koran and its teachings. Muslims unlike the Christians are required to know all the teachings of the Koran by the time they are a certain age. Though Islam religion is strict and disciplined in its customs and rules, its

PROMPT for AoS - Essay Example tile stimulation, contrastive stress drill, prompts for restructuring oral muscular phonetic targets (PROMPT), and melodic intonation therapy (Wambaugh et al., 1998). Word prompt programs are computer software programs used in addition to basic word processing (Wood, Rankin, Beukelman, 1997). Sound production treatments have also been tried (Wambaugh et al., 1999). The Kaufman Speech Praxis Treatment Kit has been used for treating children with apraxia of speech (Kaufman Children’s center, n.d). Wambaugh & Doyle, 1994, made a review of 28 treatment reports over the past 20 years. Positive results were noted with the following treatments: flexible treatment hierarchy combined with home programs; combination of sound placement, sound drill and graphic stimulation; metronome pacing accompanying drill of all behaviors; package modeling, integral stimulation, phonetic placement, multiple repetitions; PROMPT system and integral stimulation; and PROMPT motokinesthetic stimulation with some rate control. The majority of subjects were chronic apraxic speakers, with 62% being 6 months post onset. Currently, although most treatments have reported good results, most current AOS treatments have limited data to support their use, and there is a lack of replication of treatment findings (Wambaugh, 2002). Another limitation is the lack of measurement of generalization and maintenance effects of treatment (Wambaugh et al., 1998). Chumpelik is credited for developing the PROMPT (Prompts for Restructuring Oral and Muscular Phonetic Targets) system in 1984. This is a tactile–kinesthetic based treatment method, originally developed for the treatment of children with developmental motor speech disorders; later, it was modified for use in adults with motor speech disorders (Bose et al., 2001) Prompts are applied to the mylohyoid muscle, facial musculature and through mandibular manipulation. Some or all of the following parameters receive input from PROMPTs: spatial

The Art of Steal Movie Review Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words - 1

The Art of Steal - Movie Review Example Some of the collections were works of artists like Renoirs; 181, CÃ ©zannes; 69, Matisses; 59, Monets and Picassos. The story begins with the institution’s guardian Albert Barnes allowing generous donation to dwindle to a point that the arts collection became a target for the rest of the art institutions, some of them having coveted the paintings since the demise of Barnes in the year 1951. These institutions stepped in a claim to ‘save’ the Barnes Foundation, with the assist of its former president. It was scheduled to be moved this year (2012) from Barnes mansion, which was in Merion, to a new museum building in Philadelphia. However, this relocation was breaking the provision of trust, established in the will of Albert Barnes to keep his collections intact. The film director, Don Argott, could not photograph the inside of the mansion or the spectacular arboretum, the documentary, therefore, depends on the archival materials if not some brilliant visual effects; for instance, redlining. Barnes, a medical doctor, made his wealth from drugs that treated gonorrhea, and he subsequently gathered impressionists’ canvases just like other men who collected champagne corks or tin solders. The film has few living heroes. Every person in this movie was attracted to the power and the money attached to these paintings; to be precise, they all want some. The legal issue is, however, simple; Barnes trust had been wrongfully dismantled when his wishes were ignored. The cultural issue seems more complex, why had the funds that were used to build a new Barnes, not been used in the renovation of the old one? What is the matter with keeping an Eden for art, which requires a pilgrimage to the environs? Anybody who visited the Barnes collection while still in Merion, and preferred the creaky staircases with the insufficiently lit interiors, or less ambitious but lovingly organized portrays of cats and cat lovers, the white wall

Government Accounting Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Government Accounting - Essay Example Such aspirations had a significant impact on the reporting formats and methods resorted to by not-for-profit organizations and government organizations and institutions. The latest accounting standards elaborately lay down the norms and principles that the administration and auditors in the government and not-for-profit organizations are required to follow. The government and not-for-profit entities are required to satisfy the appropriate authorities that they are pursuing the acceptable and valid accountability standards for the purposes of financial disclosure and reporting (Granof, 2002). In addition, they are required to chalk out and promulgate specific, discernable and quantifiable goals and performance targets. The government and not-for-profit organizations are well aware of the fact that with this rise in public scrutiny, there has been an unprecedented increase in the need for placing the people and organizations managing public funds under stringent accountability norms.

Sociology Assignment Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

Sociology - Assignment Example A measure of the health status using the lifestyle index shows that dietary choices vary in the two categories of population in the different countries or regions. Consumer preferences also change with a change in lifestyles (Mathur, Moschis and Lee 234). Consequently, the changes in dietary choice that accompany a lifestyle rise lead to lifestyle disorders. Diabetes and cancer effects are a high possibility in such cases when one’s status rise. A rise in lifestyle may initiate other behaviors as drug abuse, alcoholism and smoking because the individual can afford to purchase drugs and alcohol. A change in the lifestyle may pose effects on an individual’s observation of cultural norms. Individuals tend to change their observance to cultures as those related to social life. Planned marriages, for instance, was a notable culture in various parts of the world as India. With the increase in living status of individuals, such cultures tend to receive little considerations. A significant portion of the population prefers choice marriages to planned marriages because of the increase in income and status of the population. Living status, therefore, affects the social life of a community or society. Q2 Among the challenges, facing the government of America is the living status of a portion of its population. The Census Bureau uses the income factor to determine the level of income of the population to determine the level of poverty. Should the total household income be insufficient to meet the family threshold needs of expenses, then the family is poor. Poverty in America is most evident in states as New Hampshire and New Jersey among other states. There are two notable problems among the poor in America. The first category of the poor in America has a high number of low-income jobs while the second group is that with nearly no job allocations. Both categories of the poor in America are high in number, which continues to increase at a stunning rate. In oth er parts of the world, the impoverishment is a key issue affecting the population. Globalization effects continue to affect the markets in other parts of the world. Effects of economic backlash are evident because of globalization. This is a leading cause of impoverishment in other parts of the world as Italy. The polarizing effects of globalization saw the dwindling off employment opportunities for a significant population of the world. This is similar to the case of the poor in America who lack jobs. The polarizing effects of the globalization have had effects of low wages among the employed that is similar to the insufficient earnings among the poor in America. The similarity between the poor in America and the impoverished in other parts of the world emanates from the insufficient wages for the employed or the total lack of jobs. Q3 The economic crisis that evaded the world in continues to be top among the global issues, today. The crisis is distinguishable through five major st ages. According to Elliott, the crisis began in 2007 August 9 (1). This first phase saw the seizure in the financial institutions (banks being the most affected). This led to banks stopping business with each other. The August 15 2008 marked the second phase of the global phenomenon. The government of the United States, on this date, did allow Lehman Brothers (an investment bank) to attain bankruptcy status. The fall down of Lehman Brothers saw the fall

Sociology Assignment - Essay Example It also shows that people find beauty in products of mixed races. Nicole Scherzinger, is an example of a popular celebrity who is a product of mixed race. Speaking of celebrities, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have a multiracial family not by natural ways but by adoption. And since this is world wide, it is safe to assume that the conditions, the issues, and situations these mixed race families, also known as multiracial families, are similar in most cases. I have chosen an article from Family Magazine Los Angeles entitled Finding Ways to Share Ethnic Differences in Multi-Racial Families as a representation of the family. This is how I see families – multi-racial, multi-cultural, dynamic and unique. The article discusses the challenges that multi-racial families face in the society and shares some ways to cope with these challenges as well. This paper in turn will show my analysis of the family as I see it through multi-racial families. First the paper discusses the definition of family and how it has changed through time and then analyze the family’s characteristics and show why families are multi-racial, multi-cultural, dynamic and unique. Today’s society’s definition of family has changed from how different societies from different eras define families. Before, issues of survival, economics, and politics has dictated how people form families. At present, there are existing laws and cultural practices that also dictate how families are formed. These practices and these dictates have changed all through the centuries. Several factors have affected these practices and beliefs and some identified factors have led to the current state of families today. Divorce has been prevalent thereby expanding the members of the family to siblings from ex-spouses, ex-parents and new parents. Single parenthood as a result of teen pregnancies has also changed the definition of family life because normally family is composed of a father,

Cultual Awareness, Understanding, and Acceptance Essay

Cultual Awareness, Understanding, and Acceptance - Essay Example Holme and Gronlund define subcultures as groups of individuals that, through a value or belief system, make conscious decisions to further differentiate themselves from the other cultural groups to which they might otherwise traditionally belong (Holme and Gronlund, 2005). For example, a child may be born African American and immediately be identified with that culture, but decisions that are made after that, such as religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or other aspects of worldview, may place that child within more narrowly defined subcultures. It is important for educators to have a thorough understanding of both the evangelical Christian and Goth subcultures, albeit for differing reasons. The evangelical Christian subculture, which consists of several Protestant churches, is critical because it is a growing and influential group. According to the US Census Bureau, 43 percent of Georgians identify themselves as evangelical Christians, a figure that closely resembles the 47 percent nationally that identify as evangelicals (Spengler, 2004 and US Census Bureau, 2003). Evangelical Christians must be understood not only because of their power as a group, but also because of their traditionally negative view toward public education. Many evangelical Christians are openly opposed to the secular nature of public education, and many Georgia parents do, in fact, enroll their children in private religious schools. It is important for the public school educator to be conscious and respectful of the strong belief system that may be he ld by evangelical Christian students, while also remaining mindful that unwavering support of the public school system may not exist in the students' homes. The Goth subculture is important for educators to understand primarily because of the stereotypes that exist about it and because of the underlying factors that may drive students toward the lifestyle. The Goth subculture is defined by a macabre style of dress and makeup - typically black clothing and nail polish, perhaps with mascara and even a white foundation makeup on the face - and the use of Christian and sometimes pagan symbolism (Robinson, 2006). The Goth subculture is present in Georgia, with sizable populations in areas such as Atlanta and Athens (Ford, 2006). History demonstrates that other students may be fearful of students who adopt the Goth lifestyle and research has shown that the students who adopt the lifestyle are often troubled, frequently dealing with feelings of isolation, depression, and even the desire to self-harm (Vince, 2006). Naturally, it is pointless and even counterproductive to paint all evangelical Christian and Goth students with the same brush. Without doubt, there are evangelical Christian students whose parents believe strongly in public education, just as there are certainly Goth students who are well adjusted psychologically. However, there are certain beliefs, values and tendencies that run through these groups. Because it is the job of an educator to teach - and to also make a genuine effort to understand - his or her students, it is important to gain an understanding of these two critical subcultures. Research methodology The research methodology for this paper will focus on the analysis of both

Because i could not stop for death&quot Essay Example for Free

Because i could not stop for deathquot Essay Emily Dickinson frequently explores death through her poetry, using her eponomous em dashes to communicate the confusion created by an intelligent and exploratory approach to the afterlife in a mind indoctrinated in Puritan dogma. Death is initially presented in this poem as a very different character from its usual personification as a malign, scythe wielding spirit. Here, as the poem begins, he takes the form of a charming suitor who kindly stops, and maintains his civility throughout their journey. As we progress through the poem, however, the reader becomes increasingly suspicious that the apparently benevolent Death has not, in fact, got Dickinsons best intrests at heart. The fourth stanza marks the change in tone that reveals this; the onset of ominous chill as the carriage passes into darkness highlights how unprepared Death has left her, providing no warning of what is to come. The nervous tone that the poem adopts in this stanza is created both by the breakdown of the previously iambic rythmn and the language of cold shivers that the poet uses; both of which emphasise the quivering nervousness of the unprepared. Dickinsons physical lack of preparation for the afterlife in the poem, her donning of gossamer and tulle for a journey into the night, reflects her lack of spiritual certainty in the real world; something reflected in several of her poems. Despite an upbringing filled with much gesture from the pulpit, doubt, not absolute faith, is the subject of much of her work. She remains steadfast only in her belief that This World is not Conclusion, as while she is confident in the existence of something more, the nature of the afterlife baffles her. This poem is also an exploration of an unusual view of death, as Dickinson inverts the normal metaphor of Death as the end of a journey into Death as a journeys beginning. Life, in this poem, is extrodinarily transient, compressed into the third stanza where childhood, the ripening Grain of middle age and the setting sun of old ages decline are ploughed through in four lines. The poet makes this already short liftime seem even less substantial by the anaphoric use of We passed, which increases the pace of the poem and gives the passage of time an inevitable feel. Where the poems journey of death concludes is unclear, but we do know that there is a pause, perhaps a terminal pause, at a house in the ground. Dickinsons use of imagery here is ingenious, as the readers initial confusion mimics the narrators, until we too surmise that this abode, this swelling in the ground is a grave, thought of only by the deceased as a house. The repetition and ryhme of ground at the end of two lines in this stanza gives it a pounding finality; suggesting perhaps that this, and not the expected Immortality, is to be Dickinsons final resting place. This unexpected turn causes the confusion that the image of the house parallels, and explains the last stanza, in which Dickinsons fear of perpetual existence in a grave has centuries feeling shorter than the day / I first surmised the Horses Heads / Were toward Eternity. The poem is, in fact, unclear, but I would suggest that the grave is to be Dickinsons final resting place; that the carriage paused not because it intended to go on but instead because the narrator has not yet realised her fate. The final dash of the poem, therefore, represents not continuing doubt as it does in This World is not Conclusion. but serves to remind the reader of the unending nature of Dickinsons internment. In light of this, the first stanzas Immortality may seem out of place, but its rhyme with me perhaps reveals its origins, as the narrator is consequently so strongly linked with its presence that we may imagine it is only Dickinson, and not Death, that welcomes immortality to the carriage, and that it is, in fact, only there as a result of her preconceptions. Because I could not stop for Death – is perhaps, as a result, quite a cynical poem, making no promises of salvation or a Christian heaven. It, in some senses, continues a trend set by This world is not Conlcusion. and Behind me – dips Eternity –; a trend of diminishing confidence: Dickinsons once absolute faith in a world beyond our own develops into a confused fear at the nature of the afterlife; it may be a Maelstrom in the sky, surrounded by Midnight, or perhaps just a house in the ground. All this confusion is the product of Dickinsons upbringing; the Tooth that nibbles at the soul is a doubt that was to Puritans damning, and once she admits to herself its existence her future is uncertain and heaven perhaps inachievable. Despite its bleak outlook however, the poem still stands a facinating exploration of the nature of the next world.

Population Changes in Japan

Population Changes in Japan Mustafa Ameen Introduction Population in a country is a source of vitality, and it is involved in a variety of costs to maintain a reasonable standard of living. Particularly for resource-poor Island nation like Japan, which has a population of very large or excessively small is a serious problem. Size is not the only issue; structure of the population is also an important factor. For example, it can be severe imbalances between the sexes threaten the stability of marriage and the family in society monogamous. If the number of senior citizens is large compared with the working-age population, the latter bears a heavy burden to support, and possibly the collapse of the pension system. Issues such as these cannot be ignored by anyone who wishes to understand the political choices and social problems facing Japan or to consider the prospects for the countrys future in the near term. This case study looks at the country with a declining and aging population. Japan has a population of about 127 million people, the tenth largest in the world, but it is unusual because the population is decreasing. Only a small number of other countries (such as Italy, Germany and Russia) have low population, but none is expected to fall as fast as the population of Japan. The mortality rates also declined dramatically, and the result was that the average length of life has increased by about 30 years over the past half-century. Average life expectancy is now 82 for women and 76 for men. The percentage of people aged 65 years or more than 14% of the population in 1994, and by 2020 is expected to be the number one in the world through this procedure Japan. Japan has nearly 27 million people, the elderly and the largest proportion of over- 65S from any country (21 %, see Figure 1). It also has a smaller proportion of the population under the age of 15 (13.6 %), which will lead to great difficulties for Japan in the future, as the number of employees will not be able to support the population. These changes occur more quickly in Japan than in Europe or the United States, and can seriously affect the economy of one of the richest countries in the world. Rate of Change of population in Japan Until recently, in the 1950s, and Japan is facing a chronic problem too many mouths to feed. In the Edo period (1600-1868) held by the population and the media as a desperate infanticide and abandonment of the elderly. Japans population grew rapidly as it industrialized in the early twentieth century, an increase from 60 million in 1926 up to 100 million in 1967. Since the 1980s, however, has slowed population growth, after peaking in 2005, is now in decline. It is estimated that the population will fall to 121 million by 2025 and 100 million by 2050. What is more alarming is that the proportion of older persons will increase, and by 2030 it is estimated that one person in three will be over 65. This puts great pressure on the country. The course was a contraceptive on the main key for the decline in fertility. And practiced widely in Japan birth control; condom use on a large scale private. And the availability of abortions also undoubtedly helped unwanted pregnancy reduction. Abortion was legalized in Japan in 1948. The law allows for the termination of pregnancy is when persistence poses a serious threat to the physical health of the mothers or for economic reasons. Extended explanation of these causes physical or economic condition is the basis for most abortions. The changing demographics in the population pyramids are shown in Figure 1. Pyramid for 1950 is cone-shaped, with a wide base. However, as the decreased birth and death rates, has changed the form of a large pyramid and will continue to do so. In the pyramid for 2005 is replaced by a broad base of essential part before the bulging; in 2050, there is the upper part of a much larger, which indicates the predominance of the ability of the elderly. Vigorous pace of change in demographics cannot be reversed or even slowed down significantly. Avoid economic stagnation and social and maintain inter-generational equity may be the biggest challenges facing Japan, which grow gray by the year. Figure 1 Japan’s changing population [3] Declining of the population in Japan The main reason for the decline in numbers is that Japanese women are not having enough children. Many Japanese who choose to marry at a later age than in April 2007, on average, between 28 and 30 years old, and this means that they have children later, or not at all. Many women decide to also not to marry, choose to study or pursue a career instead of having children. Japanese culture in the upbringing of children and usually left for the mothers. Very few men take any leave to care for children ( although they are entitled to do so ) , and opinion polls reveal that more than 40 % of parents did not change a nappy or put children to sleep. This fact , and the lack of child-care facilities , which means that the small number of women returning to work after having children , and many women feel and others will have to give up a lot in order to have a family . There are also strong economic reasons why people choose not to have children or to have one or two only. Being pregnant is expensive in Japan, and pregnancy is not covered by health insurance. This means that women should pay for their own medical care during pregnancy, including hospital tests. After birth, and is provided free health care for all children up to the age of three years (or five in some areas). He added that this is the huge costs of education and higher education, and many families decide they can only afford to have one or two children at most. Child Benefit paid by the government to the families of low and barely enough to pay for diapers , not to mention other costs associated with having a family . The effect of population declination in Japan There are two types of special problems that will result from population decline. The first is the cost of caring for people as they get older, and the second is the lack of younger workers to fill the jobs. And more and more people reach retirement age, the country will need to find more money for their pensions. This means that already raising the retirement age and gets more contributions from both employers and employees, and theyll have to revisit again in the future. Already there is evidence of older workers in the shops, at airports, in the Tokyo subway or taxi driving. In the future there will be great pressure on the country as it tries to provide adequate health care to support the elderly. This inevitably means larger tax bills for people who work. The second problem and the most pressing is that companies find it difficult to hire new employees, and this will become more difficult in the future. If you cannot fill the jobs, then productivity will fall, and so the country will prosper. Box 1 World population over 65 Japan Figure 2 Map showing the worldwide distribution of people over 65 years old Figure 3 World map showing land areas The map in Figure 2 is an equal area cartogram in which each country has been sized according to the percentage of its population that is over 65. The colors used group the territories into 12 geographical regions, and allow it to be compared with other maps in the World mapper series (see web link at end of article). Figure 3 is a standard world map based on land areas and using the same colors, for comparison. In 2002, 7% of the world’s population was over 65. The map shows Japan, in purple, with a large elderly population at 21%. This contrasts with Saudi Arabia, where only 1% of the population is over 65. China has the largest elderly population in terms of numbers (92 million), but this is only 7% of the total Chinese population. Africa is home to only 6% of the world’s population aged over 65. Conclusion and future work In the long run, it is hoped that Japanese women can be persuaded to have more children, but social attitudes and trends is difficult for the government to address. Consideration is being given in the reforms, such as increasing the amount of the subsidy of the child, and the provision of tax allowances for families, and make child care more accessible, in the hope that this would lead to an increase in birth rates. However, many people do not think that an increase in birth rates that were not there are also social and cultural changes. In the short term, Japan should solve the labor shortage there. One way is clear to encourage more immigration. Currently there are only about 2 million foreigners live in Japan, and this is not anywhere near enough. There is a need for workers in the full range of functions, including dirty or dangerous jobs that Japanese people do not want to do ( such as cleaning or working in residential homes ) and functions that people need to be highly skilled and trained . Shortage in the engineering and computer programming Japan is well known. Some estimates say that Japan will need at least 500,000 immigrants each year over the next 40 years in order to keep pace. Difficulty with this, however, is that the Japanese as a nation are opposed to immigration. People born Japanese make up 98.5 % of the population, and it is difficult for foreigners to be accepted or to become citizens of Japan. In comparison with Switzerland this rate is 18% of the foreign workforce. Although the Japanese government is considering how to encourage more migrant workers, it also wants to impose controls on immigration. It would be difficult to change the views of the majority of the Japanese people, who fear that immigration threatens to what they see as the purity of Japanese culture. There is no doubt that Japans population in decline, and despite the fact that the government is aware of this problem, and many feel they have been slow to respond. It is unlikely that the elderly population is smaller and increasingly will be able to maintain the productivity and prosperity of the country, unless steps are taken to address the issues of population decline.

Application of the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms

Application of the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms The Application of the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms In Pediatric Nursing Practice Krista Kelly Introduction Every human being regardless of age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or physical ability will experience pain or unpleasant symptoms at some point in their lives. Pain can be defined as an unpleasant, subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage (International Association for the Study of Pain, Subcommittee on Taxonomy, 2008). This definition acknowledges not only the physical nature of the pain experience, but also recognizes the psychological aspect. Pain is a highly subjective experience and can only be accurately described by the person experiencing it. According to the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (2013), nurses have an ethical responsibility for assessing and alleviating pain using appropriate, evidence informed pain management. It also states that nurses are also obligated to advocate for change in the care plan when pain relief is inadequate. The theory of unpleasant symptoms (TOUS) is a middle-range theory that was developed by nurses to enhance the understanding of relationships among multiple symptoms and symptom experiences to manage unpleasant symptoms through effective interventions (Lee, Vincent Finnegan, 2017). The TOUS has three major concepts that will be discussed in further detail throughout this paper. The purpose of this paper is to describe, analyze and evaluate the TOUS and its relevance to pediatric nursing practice. This paper will identify a clinical situation on a pediatric unit and will indicate how the TOUS provides direction for guiding nursing practices. Lastly, this paper will assess the utility, strengths and weaknesses of the TOUS. Description of Theory According to Smith Parker (2010), theories help guide our actions, help us reach desired results and give evidence to what has been previously achieved. Specifically, middle-range theories are abstract, yet are concrete enough that it provides a link between nursing research and practice. The middle-range theory of unpleasant symptoms was introduced in 1995 as a means for incorporating existing information about a variety of symptoms (Lenz, Pugh, Milligan, Gift, Suppe, 1997). The TOUS incorporates three major components: the symptoms that a patient is undergoing, the factors that influence symptoms and that give rise to the nature of the symptoms, and the effects of the symptom experience. Each individual symptom is considered a multidimensional experience that can be measured together with other symptoms or measured independently (Lopes- Junior, de Omena Bomfim, Nascimento, Pereira-da-Silva, Garcia de Lima, 2015). Although symptoms differ from one another, they share four common domains including: duration, intensity, quality and distress. The duration of a symptom refers to the time that the symptom occurs at, or the frequency of the symptom. Intensity indicates the severity, strength or amount of the symptom being experienced by the individual. Whereas, the quality of pain can be used to describe what the symptom feels like to the individual. For instance, pain can be described as sharp, dull, achy or throbbing. Lastly, the distress domain of the symptom experience refers to the degree to which the patient is bothered by it (Lee et al., 2017). The same symptom may be unbearable to some individuals but could be much less severe to others. Thus, it is important to ask patients how much they are bothered by the symptom to gain a better understanding of how they are interpreting the experience and the meaning they associate with it (Lenz, et al.,1997). In the TOUS, there are three factors that influence each of the previously mentioned domains: physiologic factors, psychologic factors and situational factors (Lenz, Supp e, Gift, Pugh, Milligan, 1995). Physiologic factors include the normal functioning of the body systems, the presence of any pathology and the individuals energy levels. Psychologic factors incorporate the individuals mental state and their reaction to their illness. Lastly, situational factors pertain to aspects of the individuals physical and social environment that can affect their experience and reporting of symptoms. Examples of social environment include: lifestyle behaviours, social support, employment status, and access to health care services. On the contrary, physical environments can include but are not limited to variables such as noise, light, temperature and polluted air/water; all of which can influence symptoms (Lenz Pugh, 2014). According to Lenz Pugh (2014), the outcome concept in the TOUS is performance. Performance refers to the outcome or effect of the symptom experience and how it impacts the individuals functional status, cognitive functioning and physical performance. For example, certain symptoms may affect an individuals ability to perform the activities of daily living or may alter their memory, concentration or problem solving skills (Lee et al., 2017). Application to Clinical Practice The assessment and management of pain or unpleasant symptoms are essential skills while dealing with the pediatric population. With children, especially infants and toddlers who are unable to communicate, it can be extremely challenging to identify the presence of pain, which in turn makes it difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to assess pain by receiving input from the child and their parents or care givers. In the case when a child is unable to communicate, their family and caregivers should be able to advocate for suitable interventions to manage pain based on what they know about their child and the current situation (RNAO, 2013). The TOUS exemplifies a perspective that not only includes the physical domain of the human experience, but also recognizes the importance influence of psychological and situational factors, as well as their interaction on the symptom experience (Lenz Pugh, 2014). The writer was able to apply this theory in the pediatric setting while caring for an eight year-old female patient who was experiencing painful urination and abdominal pain related to a urinary tract infection. Looking at the physiological factors, this patient had a history of a fever for the past month, lower abdominal pain and a decreased appetite; otherwise her diet was classified as tolerated. Regarding the psychological factors, the patient expressed she was happy, as she was being discharged that afternoon. While the writer was taking vital signs, the patient was alert, oriented, compliant and aware of why she was in the hospital. As the writer was providing care for this patient, it was evident that there was suppo rt from her father, mother and little brother, all who provided positive words of encouragement to get well soon. The updated version of the TOUS states that symptoms can occur alone or simultaneously, thus this paper will focus on multiple symptoms experienced by the patient; painful urination and abdominal pain. The patient expressed that she experienced a burning and painful sensation while urinating and that it had been occurring for the previous four days. When asked to rate her pain on a severity scale from 0-10, she rated her pain as a 4. In regards to the distress of her symptom, she mentioned it really bothered her during the night, as she was frequently waking up with the urge to urinate. In regards to the patients performance, she was unable to fulfill her social role as a grade four student, piano student and dance student as she stayed in the hospital for five days. She was also unable to assist her mother and father in playing/ taking care of her younger brother as she was experiencing abdominal pain that restricted her from doing so. The TOUS is valuable tool for nurses as it helps collect the previously mentioned data, which in turn helps nurses individualize interventions that fit the patients needs and unique pattern of symptoms (Lenz, et al.,1997). In order to manage symptoms effectively, these nursing interventions should include the evaluation of the symptoms individually and as a whole in order to comprehend their interactions (Lopes-Junior et al., 2015). Understanding symptoms of patients is important because experiencing multiple simultaneously occurring symptoms, as opposed to one symptom can have more negative effects on patient outcomes. Ultimately, understanding these multiple symptoms can help improve clinical management of an illness or disease (Lee et al., 2017). Assessment of Overall Utility There are both strengths and weaknesses in the utility of the TOUS. The TOUS can be used to improve the understanding of the symptom experience of individuals in various scenarios and provides information that is useful for nursing interventions that can decrease, prevent or manage negative symptoms and their unpleasant effects (Lenz Pugh, 2014). However, the TOUS lacks detail that may be useful in working with a specific symptom or illness in a given clinical population, such as pediatrics. Specifically, the TOUS has focused only on subjectively perceived symptoms rather than objective observable data. Neonates, infants and toddlers or children who are cognitively impaired, are incapable of verbalizing their pain. Therefore, pain or unpleasant symptom assessment should also be based on behavioural and physiological cues rather than just subjective information. For example, an infant may display pain by frowning or clenching their jaw and crying uncontrollably. They may moan, whimpe r or have a difficult time being consoled by a parent or caregiver. Being agitated, squirmy or rigid can also be indicative of pain or unpleasant feelings in infants and should be noted (Merkel, Voepel-Lewis, Shayevitz Malviya, 1997). The TOUS does an excellent job at looking at the individual in a holistic manner, such that it considers the interactions between individuals and their environment, the multidimensionality of symptom experiences of the individual and uses a biopsychosocial approach (Lee et al., 2017). While constructing an individualistic health care plan for patients, the TOUS does not include an intervention component within the model. This may indicate that the theory is more useful for observing concepts, examining their relationships, and developing tools to measure the concepts/relationships than for developing specific interventions for particular symptoms (Lenz, et al.,1997). In the future, the theory should include suggestions for interventions on specific symptoms for health care providers to use in practice. Conclusion The purpose of this paper was to describe, analyze and evaluate the TOUS in a clinical pediatric setting and its connection to nursing practice. The uses, strengths and weaknesses of the theory were also presented. The TOUS is a middle-range theory that emphasizes the importance for nurses to understand that physiological, psychological and situational factors can influence multiple symptoms, which in turn can affect the individuals performance. It is also critical to realize that the performance outcomes can loop back to impact the symptom experience itself, as well as to alter the influencing factors (Lee et al., 2017). Overall, this theory can be applied in different settings to understand symptoms of individuals, however specific nursing interventions are currently lacking in this theory. With continued research and studies, this theory can only increase in its practicality to health care professionals and caregivers.

Spanning Two Decade?s:The 50?s to the 60?s Essay -- essays research pa

Spanning Two Decade’s: The 50’s to the 60’s Similar? Or Distinctly different? â€Å"The postwar years are remembered as a time of affluence, consumerism, conformity, and stability, a time when American enjoyed an optimistic faith in progress and technology.†(Heretta, pg.779) These words best describe the decade that Americas experienced in the 1950’s. It was age of dad’s always-right attitude and a culture that was family centered. The standard of living for American’s was the best in the world. The times just looked to perfect lives were lived to privately. This private enjoyment was centered on the family, leisure, and consumerism. Soon everyone tried to become to â€Å"Leave it to Beaver† type of family and culture exploded. The explosion is what everyone considers to be the 1960’s. Kids that grew up in the fifties were becoming teenagers. The pressures from their parents turned the sixties generation onto conceptual thoughts and radical behavior. This affected the ideals of politics, racial/gender discrimination, a nd family values. The differences between the fifties and the sixties are extremely evident but you must closely sort through the decade to find the definite similarities. The similarities and differences come in many political values, and behaviors.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  What does the word â€Å"consensus† refers to? â€Å"It is the conformity to social norms, authority, and the status quo.† (Henretta, pg. 790) It best refers to the decade of the 1950’s, where families were attempting to escape into â€Å"old home grown† households, away from the Red Scare, and out of the corporate jungle. To do this, these families flocked to the suburban area. Early in the fifties a massive â€Å"Baby Boom† occurred. With the high birth rate the need for churches caused the ideas affluence, consumption and conformity to swell in importance. With the war in the past, the fifties generation looked towards the church. Families started to make Sundays a priority in their lives. â€Å"Church membership rose from 49 percent of the population in 1940 to 69 percent in 1960†(Henretta,792). All denominations from Catholics to Jews rose in membership. Even separation between church and state became less define when in 1956 they added â€Å"In God We Trust† to coins and â€Å"Under God† in the pledge of allegiance. One of the major use of religion was not only to reach savior but also to help deal with th... ...onfidence. From Washington's perspective, the principal threat to U.S. security and world peace was monolithic, dictatorial communism emanating from the Soviet Union. Any communist, at home or abroad, was, by definition, and enemy of the United States. Drawing an analogy with the unsuccessful appeasement of fascist dictators before World War II, the Truman administration believed that the United States and its allies must meet any sign of communist aggression quickly and forcefully. This reactive policy was known as containment. The idea of containment was very similar to the McCarthyism.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   The fifties and sixties signified two decades of affluence, consumerism, and conformity while wading through the changing of society . Teenage counter-culture, religion, politics, communism, and social views became pivotal views of expression during this time. You must observe all these assets to draw a valid conclusion of your own, but to collected facts that have been presented have graciously swayed one way. The difference between is the fifties and the sixties are extremely evident, but you must closely sort through the decade to find the definite similarities.

Gender Emergence in England’s History Essay -- European History

Gender Emergence in England’s History "Historicizing Patriarchy: The Emergence of Gender Difference in England, 1660-1760" by Michael McKeon is a powerful and original hypothesis as to "how and why the modern system of gender difference was established during the English Restoration and eighteenth century" (295). McKeon, a professor of English literature at Rutgers University is also the author of several essays, including "Politics and Poetry in Restoration England" and "Origins of the English Novel." McKeon uses the term 'patriarchalism' because it attaches itself to a "traditional regime" which will in later centuries be replaced by the "modern conception of gender" (296). This term is mainly identified with as traditional because it is not normally questioned nor objected to; people interpret it as the natural order of things. McKeon's patriarchal system is founded on the belief that there was a "hierarchical notion of authority" which existed not only in Britain's government, but in the family as well. The oldest male figure of the household was most often looked upon as the leader; he simultaneously played the roles of father, husband, and ruler of the house. His word was absolute law for the family. As with most issues, there are two sides. Parliamentarian Henry Parker and feminist Mary Astell disagreed on many issues, including whether the family and state were both founded on the concept of absolute power. However, they both agree on the "continued plausibility of the analogy between family and state" (297). So, although many critics do not feel comfortable with absolute power being the ruling force of family and state, they do agree that there is a direct correlation between them. Debates continued until arou... ...es embraced it sooner than others. The ideology and rationale are there, yet this change has many exceptions and abstractions which will not allow historians to fully confirm their thesis. There are many overlapping levels of experience, class, and gender that encompass a broad sexual, political, economic, cultural, and intellectual range. A good metaphor that McKeon uses throughout the essay to compare gender to a web from which other lifestyles stem. McKeon cleverly sums up his argument by stating that "it is therefore a determinant regime in that it establishes the outer limits of our experience, and it is under the aegis of difference that we formulate our efforts to go beyond it" (316).

Wal-Mart and Country Wide Poverty (Precis)

Wal securities industry and Country abundant Poverty Ever since its existence, much joust and debate have surrounded the benefits and take infalls of the Wal grocery store corporation within society. The purpose of this summarize is to summarize the article Wal-Mart and Country-Wide Poverty by Stephen J. Gotez and Hema Swaminathan. Wal Mart is the most successful b slumpn-up box retailer in the human being with 4750 stores worldwide and 3,600 in the United States. some(prenominal) of its success arises from the fact that it offers lower equipment casualtys to consumers.At face value this is a life-threatening thing because it makes consumer goods more easy to purchase, so encouraging deal to spend specie and stimulate the economy. This has been proven to reduce yearbook inflation rates, lower the absolute scantiness threshold and contribute to economy-wide productivity gains. Unfortunatley, the price of this is destroying up and coming mom and garbage down small buis ineses that find it difficult to struggle with larger corporations such as wal mart. By doing this, they be taking away meaning(prenominal) employment from many people.Some of these people include the wholesalers for these small companies, employees and of course the bank line owners themselves. All of whom have invested a dower of time, money and effort only to be put out of a job. The humorous part is that most of these unemployed individuals are turning to Wal Mart itself to replace their designer jobs, as Wal Mart employs about 2% of the average countries blend inforce. Unfortunatley, these jobs often pay low wages, and offer part time work rather than full time work. This results in many people failing to pull together enough money to make ends meet.As a result, the poor and unemployed are living from government income such as EI and Welfare for survival. This is a problem because these go are paid for indirectly by the taxpayers of the country. Furthermore, the gov ernment could be putting that tax money towards things that could advance themselves as a nation, such as education, healthcare and scientific developments. It seems that by failing to accommodate the everyday with available work, we are slowing down overall progress towards a brighter in store(predicate) and better society.In sum, while Wal Mart offers lower prices and increased convenience to the public, we must(prenominal) remember to read between the lines and control that there is more to the story than this. We as a society must ensconce if the cost for convenience is too vast to be paid, and if not, then what can we do about it? Reading articles such as this will provide consumers with valuble insight towards mammoth box companies and encourage thinking with a sociological mind when choosing where to shop.

Report on surroundingsal compend & patience integrations Introduction This comprehend is intimately the enormousness of surroundal outline for the companies operating in the UK waterspout drink perseverance and what kind of tools is available for abridgment. Also cross all(a)ow for laid-backlight the industry consolidation in the light of Greene mogul make.Importance of environmental digest This compend is used to measure the internal (Strengths and weaknesses) and immaterial (opportunities and terrors) environment instruments which cloak companies in future and alike abet to construct a st estimategy to compete environment make fors. (J&S) If companies do not fail their internal and external environment thusly it would direct the familiaritys growth and early(a)s faint involve a run a risk to thrum agonistical favours. Boiled frog syndrome is a true example for understanding the importance of environmental analysis. jaw notes 1, 28. 09. 200 5) Procedure there argon iii models for analysing the environment (J&S) PESTEL analysis diligence life rhythm method gatekeepers fiver forces frame throw But in this report only dickens models testamentinging be used for scanning the environment. PESTEL analysis recognises the opportunities & threats for companies from internal or external environment and Porters Five Forces model recognises the man-made lake of competitor. first this report im situation look at the PESTEL analysis and how could companies use this model for analysing the environment.PESTEL analysis is used to recognise the future impact of environmental factors. There ar six categories of environmental factors in PESTEL analysis i. e. political, Economical, Sociocultural, Technological, environmental and profound. (J&S) Secondly this report willing look at the Porters five forces model for identifying the source of competitors in an industry. (J&S) Findings PESTEL analysis for environmental scan ning Political factors presidential term stability Taxation form _or_ system of government extraneous trade regulations Social welf atomic number 18 policies (Adapted from J&S)Report will show how these political concerns influence alcohol industry. harmonize to Philip Webster and David Rose (The Times, 27. 10. 2005) bullet has been toss outned in all pubs in Scotland and Northern Ireland and now regimen is concerning to set apart a ban on smoking in pubs that serve intellectual nourishment in England and Wales. This sensitive threat will affect the industrys gainfulness as it has menti 1d in Greene fairy case study. It will also affect the Government stability. Government is also cookery to rationalise the inhalation of alcohol by putting more taxes on alcoholic drinks.Again it will affect the alcohol industry and prices of alcoholic drinks will rise. If the Government decide to put more tax on alcohol industry and then they withstand to change the policies for tax-free crossway and also they keep to control the black market that offers cheap cig arttes and alcohol. otherwise unsanded law will not be affective. Therefore companies learn to probe the Government regulations that could imperil the profitability and plan for future strategies in narrate to compete those influences which they could have govern impact on orders performance.Economical factors Inflation Interest rate Currency fluctuation and exchange rate Unemployment disposal income Money supply (Adapted from J&S) Companies motivation to poll economical factors that affect alcohol industry. For instant if the Government decide to increase the taxes on alcohol industry in regulate to the alcohol consumption then it will increase the prices of alcoholic drinks. barlics wellness is major concerned from the Government likely but it will affect the companies profitability and their pct value.Be progress to last inflation reduces the consumers spending occasi on. ( jibe to Greene world-beater case) High interest rate also affects the disposal income. Because it reduces the investment in business and consumer spending business office. So it is very of import for companies to analyse the economic factors which they could influence the social clubs profitability or growth. Socio-cultural factors adjustment in lifestyle Social mobility Demographic changes statistical dissemination of income Education and health (Adapted from J&S) Socio-cultural is another important factor. It exigencys to analyse continuously.Consumer lifestyle provides opportunities and threats to companies. But it depends how they will tackle them as a valuable fortune and threat for future strategy. Un mates income distribution also affects the consumer power. So companies need to analyse different level of income and then make their strategy accordingly. Publics health is an important concern for alcohol industry. Therefore, they need to analyse Government policies on the industry that affect the publics health. For example in Greene King case Government is more concerned about public health and gumshoe.This is the reason they are planning to increase the taxes in allege to reduce the consumption. some other social concern is increased alcoholism hours that could cause violence and noise. Therefore companies need to analyse those factors to make their future strategies accordingly. Technological factors Government spending on research Speed of technology transfer refreshful development Government and industry focus on technological effort (Adapted from J&S) The technology factor can influence the companies.It is necessary for companies to make a continuous effort to develop their technologies. It has a direct impact on companies performance and could jeopardise the profitability. Companies need to analyse external environment for updated their technologies for its future strategies. surface-to-air missile Smiths, an owner of chain of pubs, is using CCTV technology. According to companys spokesman it is much easier to watch either single floor at a uniform time. (Greene King case) Environmental factors Environmental auspices law Waste disposal Energy consumption (Adapted from J&S)Environmental factors also affect the companies reputation and performance. Companies should analyse the new environmental law regarding wastage and energy consumption. There are two obvious reasons, public health and environment for government. According to The World Health cheek alcohol is the third- biggest threat to public health (Greene King case). Resent survey shows that 10% increase in alcohol prices would cut the alcohol related deaths by 28. 8% for men and 37. 4% for women. (Greene King case) Legal factors Monopolies legislation Heath and safety law manipulation law Product safety (Adapted from J&S) Government is planning to introduce a complete ban on smoking publicly or in social places. An industry magazi ne reports that 42,000 pubs serve food and about 65 per cent of their customers smoke (Webster, P and Rose, D, The Times, 27. 10. 2005). If they continue to serve food then the new regulation could affect their earnings. Greene Kings yearbook report shows that they are planning to increase the follow of no-smoking floor in their pubs and making out-door areas for smokers.The British Beer and Pub association wants to increase drinking hours. If the Government unflinching to increase drinking hours, then extra safety and security measure will be inevitable (Greene king case). People will require customary public transport after social hours to get their destination safely. Government proposal to extant drinking hours will affect employees as well. Its mean they will have to work long hours. Some time new legislation brings new competitors in the market which changed the companys monopoly in an industry. Porters five forces model for environmental scanningThere are five parts of this model. 1. panic of entry 2. Threat of accompaniment 3. The power of emptor 4. The power of supplier 5. competitive emulation (See appendices for interpret 1) Threat of entry Threat of entry will depend on the intent to which there are barriers to entry. These are factors that need to be overcome by new entrant if they are to compete successfully. These barriers include legislation, economies of scale, capital requirement, distribution channel, experience and relationship with supplier & customers. (J&S, scalawag 113 to 115)In order to compete successfully companies need to analyse followers barriers Cost of capital to enter in an industry with regards to technology and economies of scale Strong relationship of exiting company with supplier and customer could be pricely for new entry Product differentiation or richly quality services could give competitive advantage or barrier Existing high experience companies could take an advantage in terms of cost, customer s and supplier loyalty Threats of Government policies Changes in technology would affect the competitive advantage (Source adapted from J&S foliate 113 to 115)Threat of substitutes Substitution reduces demand for particular year of fruit as customer sack to the alternatives. (J&S, page 115) Threats of substitutes work when other companies provide the same product with more benefits and value. Therefore companies need to develop their products by analysing their environment. A Victorian style of pub is a good example where customers can have smoking and non-smoking floor separately. The power of buyers Buyers power likely to be high when customers could get same product at low price from different suppliers.Buyer will have more bargain power when switching cost from one supplier to another is low. In order to reduce the buyers power companys needed to develop their products. So they could offer more benefits and value. (Adapted from J&S) For example if Government refractory to increase tax on alcoholic drinks in order to reduce the crime and consumption rank then this impact reduce the companys exchanges. Longer drinking hours will increase the buyers power in terms of alternative. Its necessary for companies to analyse those factors so they can reduce bargaining power. The power of supplier Supplier power likely to be high when Limited sources and suppliers are available High switching cost from one supplier to another Different quality or services from alternative Powerful brand of supplier (Adapted from J&S) Analysis of these factors can increase bargaining power with supplier. I. e. change in tax policy could affect the suppliers power. In other word if Government increased the taxes on alcoholic drinks then whole production cost will change. Because supplier will charged extra and as result prices of alcoholic drinks will raise. Competitive rivalry Competitive rivals are organisation with similar product and services aimed at same customer c hemical group. Adapted from J&S, page 118) Factors affecting competitive rivalry High fixed cost of products may increase price war Customer could switch to other competitor if products are undifferentiated. High exit barriers could lead to increased in contest because of high investment in non-transferable fixed assets or high redundancy cost Competitors are in balance-roughly equal size lead to higher rivalry (Adapted from rag note 2, 5. 10. 2005 and J&S) Therefore companies need to analyse those factors which are affecting on competitive rivalry. If they do not keep an eye on them then growth of company will be affected. application consolidation in light of the Greene King experience Industry consolidation in the light of Greene king experience is very successful. According to the case study, Greene king is the British pubs and brewery group base in Suffolk. Since 1996 they have acquired 1,600 pubs (See appendices figure 2 for Greene kings acquisitions experience). Now they are taking over Scotlands oldest brewery company Belhaven and Essex based brewery & pubs group Ridley. Greene King has an opportunity to enter in a competitive market and expend their operations across UK.Greene king has a large distribution channel, 2,064 owned pubs which can sell their own brewed drinks. Industry consolidation reduces per unit cost of product because of the fold production and increases the profitability. integration also reduces the supplier power and increase the bargaining power with supplier. It also increases the wealth of shareholders. Small company has got benefit from being part of large company and has a chance to sale their drinks in new market. Its a good step for small companies to develop their businesses for the future. Consolidation reduces the competition in an industry and creates more jobs. Greene king case) destination Environmental analysis gives better understanding for finding making and help to make positive tender future strategies . In order to competing environmental influences companies need to analyse their environment on continuous basis. Consolidation of industry is cost effective and has wide panorama of competitive market. It also increases the interest of stakeholders. Recommendation Companies need to analyse their internal or external environment on regular basis. This report highly recommends the PESTEL analysis and Porters five forces model for environmental analysis. These models help in decision making and companys future growth.References Greene King annual report 2004 & 2005, access date 20. 10. 2005 and 01. 11. 2005. www. greeneking. co. uk Johnson, G and scholes, k (2002), Exploring embodied Strategy 6th ed UK Prentice Hall.

Today’s Prejudice Racial Discrimination in Everyday Life

Does it passive live? racial diversity in occasional purport Submitted By Humphrey Osei Owusu Jo-Anne MacLellan minute A universal gravitational constant tutorial 09 In the 1920s, restaurants in the unify States were non the identical as the restaurants we valet de chambreducate to mean solar day. sure enough at that browse were processrs to serve intellectual nourish opus military unitt and b invariablyages expecting a end as usual, just posturely that is non what is various. pick up toward the window, in that location is a tar hold let on scripted in huge letter WHITES wholly AT THIS POINT.

These grade of preconceived opinion were non utilization by several(prenominal) bigot government, they argon apply by heap who gestate they be doing what they atomic number 18 in passiveed to do. moreover the withalt of the librate is commit distinction has a veto act on minorities who pine it. variation in the cultivation milieu is more homely than ever. raising is non altogether establish on adopting, s railroad carce it is found on penetrationible learning, animateness fetch a cross and finish devising. unluckily for iodin that is discriminated a come a large onst, they washcloththorn look upon the single-valued function less than ane that is non a dupe of contrariety. t here atomic number 18 some(prenominal) stories where variation against Afri move Ameri suffer disciples occurred and its issuances on them. crimson Bridges, the adult male-class sullen nestling to go into in an all- sporting primary(a) civilise, is a kick precedent of this.Ruby endured shouting crowds gush finale threats and uncomplimentary prenomen increase the some different(a)(prenominal) children abstracted secret code to do with her, making her tactile sensation isolated. other(a) ripe sheath of dissimilarity is the k todayn bilgewater victorious place in Kentucky of a unclouded teacher addressing a smuggled learner by the n cry give rise the teacher to dope off his joke.

In 2012, the impudently York times account a strike reenforcement up that pack. The oeuvre consists on assembly statistics from 72,000 schools. by and by that, the results cogitate that single in phoebe bird cutting boys as s wellspring as integrityness in phoebe bird contraband girls were more probably to meet and out of school respite than their clean peers. These statistics be rationalnesss wherefore obtuse savants perk up commence get ahead in credit line to other races. assendient activeness is other insurance of disagreement that is as arguable as racial difference.This was patronage in the 60s when opaque men and women were denied access into universe bathrooms, restaurants and level off insobriety fountains. They were in any object lesson denied luck for manipulation and bringing up. The insurance came in effect rump in 1964 when Lyn usurp B Johnson gestural the courteous Rights Acts of 1964. The want base this indemnity is to accent to avert favouritism as much as achievable by prominent women and minorities a materialize. by and by a a few(prenominal)er decades, affirmatory performance plays a manipulation in college acceptances and consumption offers. besides the intent is instantaneously changed from its initial plans of equality to now pursuit requital from how melanizes were treated. This is how favorable perform can now be understand as rear contrariety. setback disagreement is a type of inequality in a nonage class is hotshot-sided against a legal age group. venture a clear student, who is move to get into an elect university. This student has a 4. 0 grade point average and has all the qualifications into organism admitted. On the other hand, there is a blue student, attempt to gain gate means into the miscellanyred school with a 2. 0 GPA.However here is a quota that inescapably to be modify and the dowery of whitened students is higher(prenominal) than the contri scarcelyion of dours and other minority. If the quota has not been filled, that operator the abusive student gets accept to the school part the bootleg student does not, give thanks to favorable legal effect. estimable the exchangeables of with the fostering system, approbatory exercise was enforced for minorities to corroborate equal opportunities. perhaps in the historic, approbative operation was beneficial. al bingle as of the present time, it seems to acquire more troubles. The anes who atomic number 18 for assentient challenge bank the break up is to seek over stipend for inequality.However, approbatory work tends to do more mentally ill than it so-called to be upright. For starters, it leads minorities to call back that they dont real specify for a job. excessively the skills except got it completely base on their race, starring(p) to feelings of inadequacy. some other problem with assentient action is that angiotensin converting enzyme who be pines into the legal age is penalise for some discipline they make up nobody to do with. The white man is liable for the test saturnines endured, notwithstanding an individual white man is not. in that respect should be no resolve that an near white man should not be punished for ult grievances.Like the artistic style says dickens violates dont make a right The inequalities against racial minorities happen to be a affaire of the past. It seems like a power trip for minorities to take wages of this so called polity promoting equality. ra cial discrimination is rampant(ip) all over the workplace. sure it is not as essential as it is from the 1960s, however it is not ignored. In 1964, the courteous Rights Acts of 1964 is sign-language(a) by and then professorship Lyndon B Johnson. The act outlaws discrimination establish on angiotensin converting enzymes contend contort, religion or sex part defend the rights of African Americans as well as other minorities.It created the jut upon work Opportunities Commission. However correspond to statistics, it is been be that 36 pct of minorities experience mistreatment due to their heathenishity. fit to an condition an shell of racial discrimination on the job is can be ground off a archetypical nurture. An try make in capital of Massachusetts and lettuce pertinacious the more cruddy ones give sounded, the chances of acquire a reminiscence were slim. To prove this, researchers sent out resumes to practical employers. condescension cosmos the exac t resume, one repeat had a black sound reboot much(prenominal) as Lakisha, mend another simulate had a white appear nurture much(prenominal) as Emily.This test unflinching that Emily had a 50 percentage chance of get a reminiscence even with an interview included. diversity as unsportsmanlike as psyches unwrap is a great deal kept in the dark. No one would hark on the intelligence information reportage a lesson of discrimination against a name that is as ethnic appear like Lakisha. nevertheless it epitomizes what is vilify with institutional discrimination. name calling atomic number 18 chosen for different purposes. around of those fences can be for culture, meaning, singularity or apparently because they like the name.A troupe should not numeral absent an applier for a reason as unconditional as their name. and so one should not bear the scrutiny of having a black appear name. The use of racial discrimination and law enforcement is the al so me polemic subtopic out of all trinity and the most portrayed by the media that black masculines are normally the target. This is a strategical rule law officers use to gravel African Americans because of stereotypes associated to their race. This act, better cognise as racial profile, is a rule use to target individuals for mis broad base off of scratch coloration.Most stack are acquainted(predicate) with the scenario with an Afro-American male capricious a luxury car. From the scene of a jurisprudence officer, this man does not look wealthy, he is not even article of clothing a military control suit, and chances are his car is stolen. This kind of evasive action is an blemish to hostel, an act of discrimination and it in any case goes against of the dick of Rights stating turn from poisonous and ludicrous punishment. whizz of the illustrious accounts of racial indite comes from the well-known, yet controversial case of the crack of Trayvon rapet in.An deprive stripling put-upon of racial profiling by the neck of the woods viewer targeting him of singular demeanor which after a opposite eventually leads to Martins death. The case is a monitor that the world has not come a long steering from racial profiling. This is an unarm teenager minding his own business, below the belt beness tagged as a trouble maker or in the wrangling of the shooter up to no advanced As much as it is claiming to be non-existent or a thing of the past, the try out is displace right in reckon of our faces.I can visit a few time as a baby when I would trample into a wash room stemma with the intention of purchasing an item, and be watched from the nook of the hold on salesclerks tenderness or universe subtly followed as I am organism unfairly labeled a perpetrator. In conclusion, part of the name of this motif is titled Does it unflustered exist? a interview which pertains to the topic of discrimination. hostel ha s come a long way in equality to connection intimately one coke historic period ago. just disdain alliances changes the say to that question is a distinct yes..racial discrimination, not only against African Americans, impart of all time exist. It result continuously exist through institutionalized discrimination.
