My Own Interpretation of Mandela’s 8 Lessons in Leaders

That is why I also wanted to share to you Mandela’s 8 lessons of Leadership: 1. Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s inspiring others to move beyond it In tackling life’s challenges, you must face fear head-on and find the guts that you may not falter when life is giving you a hard time. There are people who wanted to see you fall and you must find courage to stand up to them. Having courage does not mean being reckless or stupid but rather it means to hold your head up, look them in the eye. Do the right thing even when you stand alone and it eventually will pay off in the end 2. Lead from the front — but don’t leave your base behind Hey, it’s great to be a leader, right? There are privileges like less work for you and more work for your subordinates and get the credit from the efforts of your colleagues-NO, this is a very wrong notion. They will never respect you as a leader if you lead them an iron fist. What’s the point of being a leader if no one will follow you? Move with the principle that others matter as well and do what’s best for your group, not just you. Be honest and fair. Work hard. Play hard. Do your homework. Know what you are talking about and they will follow. Don’t ever mistake arrogance and intelligence for the same thing for they are quite different. Life will eventually teach you humility if your ego will swell up. 3. Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front Sometimes, it’s kind of nice to take a few steps back and let others lead as well while you still lead them. Why not? Give others opportunity to prove themselves that they are capable to lead and let them discover their potentials too. Maybe you could even learn a thing or two from them. Not all great ideas come from one brain but rather a group of brains. When they eventually get off-track, you’re still there to guide them back like a shepherd guiding a lost sheep. 4. Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport Truth is you cannot please everybody and there are some people would not favor you leading them. That irritates you, doesn’t it? Often, the people who anger us most in life are more like us than we’d like to admit. Don’t ignore them. Get to know them. Find out what makes them tick. Maybe they just want your attention. Maybe they just want a duty. Give them something to do for change. See how they fare. Now, at some point, you may need to cut your losses and move on down the road. However, you may inadvertently find out your enemy is all of a sudden your good friend. 5. Keep your friends close — and your rivals even closer You’re not alone and there leaders like you as well but with different personalities, capabilities, and leaderships styles. Some of these leaders may agree to you and favor your leadership skills but there are other does not. Still, it is not wrong to have a little healthy competition and learn to appreciate what life gives you because not all life is easy. Again, you have to be strong and be firm for the people who follow you. When things go out of hand, always use diplomacy. 6. Appearances matter — and remember to smile Love yourself first before others. How can you serve other people when you could not serve yourself right? Appearances really do matter especially if you’re a student nurse rendering service to your patient. If your patient sees that you could not take care of yourself, he/she will have second thoughts or doubts in cooperating with you. Being neat and clean will give you an edge. Remember to smile because this stuff is contagious. When you clumsily tripped yourself, you should make a fast recovery with grace and smile because they want strong leaders who could recover fast from a tragic fall and continue the service. SMILE! 7. Nothing is black or white Life could be a burden sometimes when you have to make a decision, either it is small or big because not all of your decisions would favor the entire public and there always consequences. When that happens, first of all pray, it helps to meditate and ask for guidance from above and then think for a solution, it always works. Listen to all sides of the story before making rash decisions. All decisions especially a leader’s decision should be think through. Sleep on it if you must. Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. This is a very common to student nurses during RLE: when in doubt, don’t or ask your clinical instructor about it, it always works, try it they won’t bite†¦sometimes. 8. Quitting is leading too I flinched when I heard this one but I tend to like it. It is cliche to say: â€Å"do not ever give up, try and try until you succeed, and quitting is for losers† but what if you run out of ideas, too tired to hold on, groping for answers in the dark and hopelessly praying for â€Å"give me more TIME†. Why not tomorrow? Hey, there are always tomorrow right? Don’t tire yourself you’re only human. If you sense that you’re losing a battle, sound a retreat, let your army rest and fight for another day, maybe your enemy needs a rest too you know. Sometimes in life doesn’t work out. Just step back and take a deep breath. Move on and do something else or the alternative. Don’t squander your life in the boulevard of broken dreams, just move on the other side of the road to start anew. A life of good leaders revolves around success and failure all the time. But just learn to accept what God has given you and learn to appreciate it. Do not dwell on failures but move on. Leaders experience too many sufferings and trials in order to strive for excellent service his/her fellows but it will be compensated with the achievements and recognitions he/she earned. The pieces of paper and awards on the wall are important. But they are not nearly as important as the journey you make and the people you meet along the way. CARPE DIEM!

The History of Blues and Rock ‘N’ Roll

â€Å"You can’t play the blues, until you’ve paid your dues† (Spencer 41), said by the originator of the blues W. C. Handy. The blues is a music style that influenced America in many ways eventually coming to create rock and roll. The true originators of the blues go back to African slaves brought to America to work on plantations. As these slaves gained freedom and acceptance in the big cities blues developed its own unique style. This unique style gained popularity amongst the white community creating an opportunity for record labels to make a profit. Once the blues went nationwide white musicians took the blues style and techniques creating rock and roll. Some argue that rock and roll was only a lame attempt at duplicating the blues which could never be understood in the white community. Others argue that rock and roll artists stole the creativity of blues musicians to make their own profit. My argument is to find out whether or not the blues was stolen from African Americans and whether the blues was the property of African Americans not to be used by whites. Whatever the case, the blues changed how other’s viewed music and brought a whole new vibe to its white listeners. To settle the argument over whether or not the blues was something that belonged to blacks we must find out where the blues came from. If you want to find the origin of the blues you must look back to West Africa before its people were introduced to the European and American society. African Natives were isolated from the rest of the world, because it was too early to have technology for travel. Due to this isolation they created their own unique form of speech and music. The key element of West African music was rhythm, not melody and harmony. Instead of the European melodic harmonies, West African music was surrounded by rhythm. â€Å"The core of European music was to embellish a melody with a number of melodic instruments, and incidentally set a rhythm. The European aspect of rhythm was only specified by vague terms such as â€Å"adagio† or â€Å"allegro. † The core of West African music was to color a rhythm with a number of musical instruments, and incidentally dress it up with a melody† (Scaruffi 2) Rhythm was the foundation of the blues which the early whites never used. It can be concluded that the concept of rhythm was something that was created by African Americans belonging to their culture. Once the concept of rhythm came to America the technique of melody would fall behind becoming a less important aspect of music. In the 17th century America discovered Africa and enslaved the â€Å"Inferior race† (Guralnick 98) to work as cotton and wheat pickers for Southern plantation owners. As African slaves were shipped off to America they brought the musical aspect of rhythm that would lay the foundation for blues music. African slaves brought to pick cotton and wheat would use rhythm to set a pace for work. Black slaves developed a â€Å"call and response† way of singing to give rhythm to the drudgery of their servitude. These â€Å"field hollers† served as a basis of all blues music that was to follow† (Scaruffi 1). These work songs were the original form of blues. They would express the harsh conditions of slavery. Africans brought new emotions and techniques to produce music. None of these emotions could be understood by whites because slavery was not an issue for them. â€Å"Whether ecstatic (religious), mournful (work) or exuberant (party), it was much more emotional than white folk music. The combined effect of the hypnotic format and the emotional content created loose structures that could extend for indefinite periods of time, in a virtually endless alternation of repetition and improvisation† (Guralnick 13). The conditions were harsh and brutal working on the Southern plantations. These harsh conditions were a major focus in the lyrics of African slaves and influenced the future theme of blues music. â€Å"The songs of a Negro were the diary of his life (road, train, prison, saloon, sex), often an itinerant life, as opposed to the diary of a community (plantation, church)† (Spencer 38). Africans held their traditions but changed the theme of their music to paint a picture of their everyday lives. Blues now had a foundation to grow on. Due to the new rhythmic style of the first slaves brought from Africa, and generations of influence from America, blues was beginning to take form. The blues was originally a simple work song of cotton pickers and was now a new style of music making its way into the white culture. Blues music had a style revolving around slavery. So the blues did belong to African American because the issue of slavery did not affect whites. In 1865 the United States added the thirteenth amendment into the constitution abolishing slavery giving slaves the freedom to travel. The end of slavery led to the â€Å"Great Migration† of blacks into cities bringing a hip musical style amongst the white city folk. After the Civil War with the abolishment of slavery blacks gained their freedom and could choose where they would work. â€Å"Black men had few options other than back-breaking manual field labor or becoming a traveling minstrel. Many chose the occupation of a traveling minstrel playing raucous, all-night country dances, fish-frys, and jukejoints† (Pendack 11). For blacks who left the South, the North promised freedom. However segregation was still wide spread throughout America. Due to the end of slavery many changes were made to the former slave music to create the blues. â€Å"The end of slavery meant, to some extent, the dissolution of the two traditional meeting points for the African community: the plantation and the church† (Scaruffi 9). Music remained the way of venting the frustration of African Americans, but the end of slavery introduced Blacks as individuals instead of being defined by a group. The black singer was now free to and capable of defining himself as an individual. Solo singers represented a new take on that condition, the view of a man finally enabled to travel, and no longer a prisoner of his community, although, sometimes, more lonely† (Green 3). The sound of blues music began to change from slave work songs to blues. Whites could not understand the concept of gaining freedom because it was naturally given to them. The themes in the lyrics of the blues could only be seen through a black woman or man’s eyes. Many blacks took railroads to Chicago where the â€Å"City Blues† was born. City Blues† was a blues more subdued than its precursor, in part because its rhythms were more refined-more danceable. The African-rooted spirituality basically continued untouched; but the non-articulations (moans and hums) were less dissonant† (Guralnick 101). In Chicago, the emergence of the â€Å"City Blues,† in the 1920’s, created a new blues culture with increased musical performance due to the merging of city life and African musicians. The white culture had already adapted to the city life whereas the city was completely new to blacks. The theme of the city blues reflected the conditioning of the South’s rural emigrants to the city’s new universe of experience that could never be understood by whites. â€Å"City blues represented the African American’s transition from the relinquishment of old folkways to the appropriation of the new progressive mentality. Race progress, represented the liberation of African Americans from the alleged tyranny of superstition† (Spencer 40). What the blues represented was an emotion that belonged to the blacks. Much of the blues was performed in small venues giving rise to new music techniques. Singers sang louder, amps were cranked up, because small noisy club venues, common then, needed loudness to be heard. Some made the switch to electric guitars while adding drum sets to their bands due to the loudness of the crowd† (Green 6). The electric guitar began multiplying options for blues players. Some of the first generation artists of â€Å"City Blu es† were, â€Å"Muddy Water, Howlin’ Wolf, T-bone Walker, Bobby Bland, Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, and B. B. King† (Pendack 2). The slaves of the plantations had made the transition from being â€Å"Field howlers,† to recognizable performers in the city life. As the sound of the blues began to rise in popularity Rock and Roll began to develop over time. As the blues began developing a distinctive sound it provided some fundamental elements for rock and roll. After this time, blues was increasingly merged with rock music to form the rock blues bands of the 1960's and 70's. â€Å"Blues- the last in all of its permutations; call it a blending, a transition, a hybridization, maybe even a genetic modification; this is the progression of the music. The Forties and early Fifties set the table for rock & roll† (Spencer 41). The rise in popularity of the blues had much to do with the mass media, record companies and radios. The blues was spread nationwide amongst the white culture. â€Å"During the late 1920's, with the advent of the 78 RPM phonograph, some of the more popular country blues artists were recorded by Paramount, Aristocrat and other record labels. These records served to expose white folks to the blues, as well as give the fledgling artists exposure to national, yet segregated record labels† (Guralnick 101). The blues rose to new heights because the money was there. War production pay checks and post-war prosperity gave music listeners money to buy the new music they loved. â€Å"They bought radios and they bought record players; they fed juke boxes and they bought records; they went to concerts at the Apollo and at the Hollywood Bowl. They made rhythm & blues profitable† (Pendack 13). With the risen popularity in blues music, record labels jumped at the chance to make some money. With the blues drawing a new crowd and rock and roll was to be born. Many of the original blues artists did not take too kindly to rock and roll. Whites began to make much profit from blues by creating rock and roll. However because blues originated from African American slave songs many whites had trouble replicating the blues because they had not gone through the same experiences. â€Å"Whites would steal from them this creativity born of labor and the elementary forms of industrialization and then turn around and sell it back. White capital, which owned all of the record companies, controlled this commercialization process from the start, economically and culturally† (Spencer 38). The mass media, record companies and radio broadcast stations were primarily under white control making the shift from blues to rock and roll easy. The record labels found that there was a market for blues records among white audiences of the big cities, particularly New York and Chicago† (Green 6). One of the original African American Blues artists, W. C. Handy, admitted, â€Å"Each one of my blues is based on some old negro song of the South, some old song that is part of the memories of my childhood and my race. I can tell you the exact song I used as the basis for any one of my blues† (Guralnick 14). The blues music had an underling meaning of suffering from segregation and slavery. Now let’s admit, I doubt any white man or woman would have any experience writing about that topic. Here is a great example of a white rock band using lyrics depicting the harsh conditions of an African American. Many blacks see this as an attempt at using blues music for profit. As the blues saying goes, â€Å"You can play the blues until you’ve paid your dues† (Spencer 38). â€Å"Every time a white cop hits a Negro with his billy club, that old club says, Bop! Bop!†¦ Be-Bop! Mop†¦ That’s why so many white folks don’t dig†¦ White folks do not get their heads beat just for being white. But you, me, a cop is liable to grab me anytime and beat my head-just for being colored. And this where we come from-out of the dark days we have seen. And not to be dug unless you’ve seen dark says, too. That’s why folks who ain’t suffered much cannot play, and do not understand it. They think it’s nonsense† (Spencer 42). -The Police, 1980 â€Å"It is important to note that â€Å"The Police† was a rock trio from London, England. The trio included the now popular solo singer â€Å"Sting† (Spencer 39). It is also worth mentioning that this band consisted of three white men. Not black, but white. Even though this song was produced and sung by a white band the lyrics are sung from a black man’s perspective. The Police† had no idea what it was like to be beat due to a difference in skin color. It is also worth mentioning that, â€Å"The Police† went on to sell more than 50 million albums and became the world’s highest-earning musicians in 2008. The Rolling Stone has gone on to rank â€Å"The Policeà ¢â‚¬  number 70 on the list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time† (Spencer 39). They ended up making a huge profit while using lyrics from a black man’s perspective. Now the question arises: â€Å"Was the blues really stolen from African Americans? † and if so, â€Å"Was the blues really something that belonged to African Americans? Looking back on the origins of the blues we can see that its foundation was set by the concept of rhythm created in Africa. Once African natives were enslaved they were brought over to America using work-songs to set pace for work. With the abolishment of slavery African Americans moved north bringing the new style of the blues with them. As these former slaves began to make the shift to performing in clubs individually, they began to develop a new sound. As the popularity of the blues began to rise record labels jumped at the opportunity to make a profit. Over time whites began to develop their own form of blues ultimately leading to rock and roll. Going back through this history we can conclude that African-Americans were the founders of blues. However, I do not think the blues is something that could be stolen. Rock and roll was formed by the combination of African culture and White culture. With the rhythmic style of the blues whites were able to transform it into their own version. If we were to keep the blues hidden belonging only to African Americans, slavery would have never been abolished. Due to the clash of the two cultures the outcome is rock and roll. Rock and roll heard today is merely the blues in its developed form. The blues was a melting pot for all musical forms. As the blues was mixed and spiced up by difference artists, rock and roll was what boiled out. Annotated Bibliography Green, Adam. Blues. The Encyclopedia of Chicago. 1991. Web. April 23, 2010. The â€Å"African American Migration† from the South and the growth of the music industry lead to the creation of the â€Å"City Blues. † During the 1950’, â€Å"City Blues, also known as the â€Å"Chicago Blues,† flourished using rhythm sections and a higher amplification. A higher reliance was given to guitar and harmonica leads. While â€Å"Chicago Blues† did not recapture the harsh conditions of the African American community, it found a new audience drawn from followers of rock music. Guralnick, Peter. Feel Like Going Home: Portraits in Blues and Rock ‘N’ Roll. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1999. Print Blues was a property of African Americans before it was even set on paper. Each blues singer had his own individual way of expressing himself. However there is a common thread of ideas as well as lyrics which gives blues players the ability to sit down with any other and play. Its very popularity in fact influenced recording trends and tended to place a far greater emphasis on the community. It has always been a commercial vehicle, and particularly so because of its adaptable form. Pendack, Stephen. History of Blues. Blues Music Rocks! 2002. Web. April 20, 2010. Blues has its deepest roots in the work songs of the West African slaves in the South. During their back-breaking work â€Å"field holler† would use rhythm of their work songs to set the pace. During the Great depression, blacks migrated north along railroad tracks to Chicago. They brought blues music with them and soon the sound filled urban night clubs. We began to see new performers like Muddy Waters switching to electric guitar and adding a drum set to their bands. Scaruffi, Piero. A Brief History of Blues Music. History of Popular Music. 2006. Web. April 23, 2010. During the creation of civilizations, blues â€Å"solo music† was invented to admire and appreciate musical talent of singers and instrumentalists. Blues music relied heavily on rhythm, both for dancing and singing. The key element to African music was rhythm, not melody and harmony. Instead of a melodic counterpoint, West African music was about rhythmic counterpoint. Spencer, Jon. Blues and Evil. Tennessee: The University of Tennessee, 1993. Print White blues artists have tended to overlook the underlying theme of the blues because they have not fully understood African American culture. The language of the blues is one including a deep religious meaning not to be duplicated by the white culture. With the creation of rock and roll a reason for using the foundations a blues arose. Much profit came from blues music but the meaning could never be understood by white culture.

SAMPLING Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

SAMPLING - Essay Example Systematic sampling on the other hand, is a sampling design that employs the technique of selecting the elements to be sampled using a fixed pattern by first arranging the elements in a certain pattern (Kalton, 1983). Additionally, stratified sampling refers to a method of first partitioning the whole population into subgroups called strata after which samples are chosen from each stratum (Särndal, Swensson & Wretman, 1992). Cluster sampling is another method of sampling where the population is divided into smaller units called clusters where the researcher randomly selects the elements to be sampled from each cluster (Thompson, 2012). This technique is useful when the population is too large. There exists various sampling situations: the population in a given country is divided into districts and a household is sampled from each group to represent the whole population. Additionally, a class with 100 students; 36 female and 64 male students. Each student’s name is listed in a sheet of paper and then placed in a bowl where they are mixed thoroughly.

Developments in the 19th Century that Drove the Shifts in Imperial Research Paper

Developments in the 19th Century that Drove the Shifts in Imperial Policies and Practices of European Empires during New Imperia - Research Paper Example Amongst others, these shifts included the moving away from the economic doctrine of mercantilism that focused on the expansion of trade and markets through strategic control of ports towards the establishment of large scale, formal empires by way of aggressive internal penetration of territory and the exercising of control over the geography and population in those territories. We need only a glimpse at a few statistics to see that these shifts had remarkable consequences. According to Daniel R. Headrick- professor of social sciences at Roosevelt University and author of The Tools of Empire- â€Å"in the year 1800 Europeans occupied or controlled thirty-five percent of the land surface of the world; by 1878 this figure had risen to sixty-seven percent, and by 1914 over eighty-four percent of the world’s land area was European-dominated. ‘The British Empire alone,† Headrick continues, â€Å"already formidable in 1800†¦ increased it’s land area sevenfol d and its population twentyfold in the following hundred years†.1 However, these shifts were not simply coincidental. In fact, the changes in the imperial policies of the Europeans during the era of â€Å"New Imperialism† were driven by two major nineteenth century developments: the second industrial revolution, and the emergence of a pack of European nation states. Main Body Imperialism, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is â€Å"the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation†¦ over the political or economic life of other areas†2 To put this in simple terms, imperialism is the acquisition and buildup of territory and capital. However, the Merriam-Webster definition does not quite pin the proverbial tail on the donkey, for it lacks one key component of imperialism: what is the justification for this said extension of power? According to Edward Said- former professor of English and comparative literature at Colum bia University and author of Culture and Imperialism- the acts â€Å"of accumulation and acquisition†¦ are supported and perhaps even impelled by impressive ideological formations that include notions that certain territories and people require and beseech domination, as well as forms of knowledge associated with domination†.3 Thus, the working definition for Imperialism from here on out is the combination of two previous definitions, which goes as follows: the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation†¦ over the political or economic life others, which is supported and perhaps even impelled by impressive ideological formations that include notions that certain territories and people require and beseech domination, as well as forms of knowledge associated with domination.   New imperialism cannot be said to be only the policies of the elite because it was greatly supported by the lower classes in Europe. The main aspect of the c ulture of imperialism was the feeling of superiority amongst white Europeans. Many people had such perceptions because of being bound by Christianity and they believed that there was nothing wrong in forcibly Christianizing the conquered societies, which they believed was the main motive of imperial missions. Some viewed imperialistic aspirations from a secular perspective, while some followed Darwinian concepts in upholding their

The song Dressin Up by Katy Perry Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

The song Dressin Up by Katy Perry - Essay Example ?s the night/ I’m dressing up for you The feminist theory does not support sexual submission for women, arguing that sexual submissiveness refers to a subordinate position for women which can also set back the advantages which have been secured by women throughout the years (McRobbie, 2004). Such advantages include the fact that women are no longer sexual objects, they are individuals who are beyond such elements of sexual depravity and debasement. The feminist theory also glories in women fulfilling goals, regardless of traditional gender dictates (McRobbie, 2004). Bringing in sexuality to the discussion of feminine rights and qualities is a step back from the fulfilment of these goals, especially since sexuality objectifies women as nothing more than sexual objects. It is important however to note that in equalizing the sexuality of men and women, the lyrics of Katy Perry suggest the presence of a female sexual aggressor, one which is far removed from the sexually submissive individual (Hopkins, 1994). As opposed to the tradition of women being the sexually submissive parties, Katy Perry’s lyrics suggest a sexually active and sexually aggressive female partner, one who initiates the sexual experience with the male party. In general however, the tone of the song is opposed to the ideals of feminism and gender equality. The lyrics, ‘I’m dressin’ up for you’ evoke an act which to most feminists is contrary to what they seek for women – gender equality (Moi, 2008). The feminist theory objects to any action which is made for the opposite gender, and they point out that such actions degrade women. Women must do things to please themselves, not to please the opposite gender. This concept reverts back to the need to do away with the past traditions where women...

Management. Performance Based Budgeting Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2500 words

Management. Performance Based Budgeting - Essay Example While traditional budget tends to attach budget based on expense on specific items, PBB is concerned with general event outcomes (Last, 2009 p.2456). The planned and actual performance are both evaluated in terms of efficiency and effectiveness and the assessment used to allocate resources rather than using blind resource allocation system which emphasizes on organizational units and line item expenses. PBB has an objective of improving efficiency and effectiveness in public expenditure by linking allocation of funds to public organizations to their actual and projected performance (Guajardo, 2001 p.457). A basic form of PBB has a design, which ensures that the participating decision makers provide a systematic consideration to the results achieved by the expenditures at various government units when formulating budget on government expenditure. Performance Based Budgeting needs the following essential elements for proper budgetary planning. First it requires a measurable quantity of inputs available for the given project. These include monetary value of all resources ready to be injected in the project. Another requirement is units of output from the project. This involves assessment of the outcome of the project (Hughes, 2012 p.1004). Next is calculation of efficiency. This involves assigning an amount of input to each unit produced in order to get productivity per unit unit or activity. Lastly is analysis of achievement of the predetermined level of performance. The organization must have set goals, which it wants to accomplish; hence, it is necessary to measure the effectiveness of the management system used in terms of objectives achieved. Policy objectives and organizational goal development is the starting point in the PBB process. The achievement of goal and objectives should be reflected using developed performance measures. In the process of budget preparation, the main considerations are, past performance, current performance and projected future per formance information (Hood, 2009 p. 456). A detailed decisional analysis is undertaken in order to come up with the best and the most appropriate decision. The final decision should be the best in interlinking resources allocations to the measures, objective and goals. The outcome is a final report financial details and the recommended performance information. The report has a description of how the initiated measures taken influence the strategic plan and the projected result from the project. PBB is effective in Periodic project evaluation as regularcheckup is performed as the project proceeds. Financial information and performance information should be appropriately aligned and coincided during the duty execution in order to enhance efficiency in its implementation. Performances audit is done at the end of the financial period or project to determine the effectiveness of the PBB system used. PBB is beneficial in the sense that it raises accountability of an organization, as it se ts targeted outputs that enable the organization to work hard towards achieving. It encourages proper decision-making that are aimed at reducing the gap between the desired level of output and the actual level of output. PBB ensures that government strategic decisions are carefully implemented in terms of financial analysis. It is a tool of trigger to policy makers, customers and service

Compare and contrast the possible biological risks and hazards when using Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) when imaging a pregnant patient - Essay Example In the process recommendations of how to reduce and ameliorate these risks are critiqued and examined A computed tomography (CT) scan utilises x-rays to provide detailed pictures of structured inside the body of pregnant women (WebMD, 2013). The process is done by getting a pregnant woman to lie on a table that is attached to a CT scanner which is round with an inner-hollow (Romans, 2010; Prokop & Galanski, 2013). The scanner sends x-rays throughout the body and the pictures are studied appropriately (Kalender, 2011). The rotation comes with pictures that are captured and saved on a computer that can be retrieved or printed. CT Scans present more detailed and thorough pictures and images of the area of interest in a medical study or examination (Patient UK, 2014). The system uses conventional radiology and as such, it opens a patient up to the risks of other x-ray systems and processes (DeMaio, 2010; Buzug, 2008). CT Scans opens up a pregnant woman to various risks of radiation during the process, however, the amount of radiation that a pregnant woman will be exposed to varies. Some authorities identify that a patient taking a pregnancy related scan will be exposed to 6.6mSv of radiation which is approximately three years’ worth of background radiation (NHS Choices, 2013). This is obviously very high and could expose a pregnant woman and a foetus to some dangerous levels of radiation. There are various levels of risks that foetuses are directly exposed to during CT scans. The level is examined in a study by Marx et al on the Uterine Radiation Dose (MRAD). The head is exposed to under 50 MRAD, the Thorax is exposed to 10-590 MRADs, the Abdomen, 2800 – 4,600 MRADs whilst the Pelvis is exposed to 1,940-5,000 MRADs (Marx, Lockberger, Walls, & Adams, 2013). However, the inherent benefit is that it is quick and accurate and it is often the best way to check a patient

Field trip - Essay Example In accordance with Jewish tradition, prayers should always occur in the entire community. Amidah, which is the third section of Shabbat service, forms the central point of Worship among Jews. During this section, the congregation normally engages in prayers and meditations. The word Amidah gives a description of prayers and the manner in which the Jews worship. Amidah has a small session for private prayers among its worshippers. Similar to any church service, the Shabbat also acknowledges rituals and their significance in worship. Consequently, Torah service forms the next section of Shabbat service. Torah service provides teachings on peace, justice, and truth in the society. In general, this section follows teachings of Moses as written in his five books. The last session of the Shabbat Service is concluding prayers where the whole congregation participates in recitation of Aleinu or Adoration (Abrams & Katherine 18). We chose Shabbat service as our field trip experience because of the perception that Jewish religion has unique philosophies and worship procedures. Majority of people in the society believe that Shabbat is different from other church services because of its restrictions and related philosophies. Consequently, attending the service would enable us to obtain philosophies and facts about the Shabbat Service. After attending the Shabbat Service, we were able to determine how philosophy influences the religion. According to the Jews, Shabbat Service must have five prayer sessions. All these sessions have different significance to the worshippers. For instance, Torah service teaches peace and justice in the community. In addition, the religion has a philosophy, which advocates for all members of the congregation to use the five holy books recommended by Moses to govern all rituals. Just like Christian services, the Shabbat service considers prayers as precious gifts from heaven. As a result, the Jewish considers Amidah as a special session of

Research Proposal (Political Psychology) Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2750 words

Research Proposal (Political Psychology) - Essay Example This research project intends to analyze the failed diplomacy efforts of former UN Weapons Inspector Hanz Blix that precipitated the excessive levels of distortion surrounding his official testimony and related exchanges that took place after 9/11. To that end, political psychology can help to demystify these failed efforts at international diplomacy demonstrated in his efforts to diffuse an extremely tense and volatile international crisis. Although Blix fulfilled his ideologically-neutral role as a UN Weapons Inspector throughout the debacle, his middle road diplomatic style can be summarized, in retrospect, as an unmitigated disaster. In the shadow of an imminent invasion of Iraq by the US, neither US nor EU hegemonic superpowers scrutinizing his inspection efforts were satisfied with his reports. To explore these failed diplomatic efforts, the current research project intends to compare and contrast the historical and psychological forces at play that wedged Blix between two disp arate styles of international superpower diplomacy in operation at the time of his analysis, discuss the possible justifications for his middle road approach that failed to diffuse these tense international interactions, and describe how his inability to directly negotiate or otherwise influence US or EU officials exacerbated his failed diplomacy; all factors of failed diplomacy expediting the subsequent invasion of Iraq. The working hypothesis therefore, suggests that both the US and the EU have very different styles of diplomacy, that as an allegedly neutral operative of a neutral international peace-keeping committee associated with the United Nations he was prohibited from formally demonstrating an orientation toward either a US or the EU diplomatic style, and that in his desire to objectively and rationally approach the question of WMD in Iraq, he chose the middle road diplomacy approach which failed to endear his team to either US officials

Of Mice and Men Discuss in detail the lives of the itinerant ranch-hands in the novel Essay Example for Free

Of Mice and Men Discuss in detail the lives of the itinerant ranch-hands in the novel Essay Discuss in detail the lives of the itinerant ranch-hands in the novel. Why is the dream farm so important to the novel? Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is an emotional novel, set in the 1930s, where two friends try to achieve their dream in the cruel time of the great depression in California, America. The Wall Street crash was a massive set back in American industries, work was made very limited, so the men had to travel from job to job, to make a living. Lennie Small and George Milton like many men during this unprofitable time in the American economy roam from job to job. Men like these are called itinerant. As George stated, Guys like us that work on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world. This statement is true because these men never have a place called home, because they are always on the move. This also means they have no time to develop a family or friends. Real friendships are hard to come by, because most of the men that work on these ranches are secretive and try to keep their pasts private in case they reveal something that could get them canned (sacked). Meaning if they cant reveal their history because of fear, they will never be able to make true friends. On the ranch George and Lennie spend most of their spare time in the bunk house. Many of the men dont socialize they just keep themselves private, this also combines with the lack of woman company to create a lonely atmosphere on the ranch. Also the men are caught up in a never ending cycle of doing a months physical labour and spending most of their earnings releasing all their frustration at whore houses. So many men come to these ranches with this idea that they will work for a couple of months, save up money and get their own little piece of land but end up blowing all their money on drink and prostitutes. As Crooks said, I seen hunderds of men come by on the road an on the ranches, Hunderds of them an every damn one of ems got a little piece of land in his head. An never a God damn one of em ever gets it. From this you can see how common it was for men just like George and Lennie to depend on this dream, to give them this false hope that they might just escape this lifestyle one day. Crooks is so mocking of this dream farm because since he has never seen a man accomplish this feat, he doubts whether a man has enough determination to ever achieve it. In addition, ranch hands that are too old get canned. This makes Candy on edge because he feels that because he is seen as useless on the ranch since of the loss of his hand, his job is becoming more and more insecure the older he gets. On the ranch a lot of violence is shown to Crooks just because of the colour of his skin. The ranch hands also humiliate Crooks by making him sleep with the horses. George and Lennie are unlike most ranch hands as they travel together which is most unusual among ranch workers. As George says, I seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone. That aint no good. They dont have fun. From this you can tell that they have, unlike other ranch hands, someone they can confide in. This gives them a strength that the other men do not have. It is obvious that the dream farm means a lot to George and Lennie because it gives them some hope that they might escape this endless lifestyle. Also if they lived on their own ranch they would be free to do as they please and not listen to no one else but themselves. The farm symbolises freedom to George and Lennie, as they would be able to choose when they would like to work and who they wanted to employ, An live on the fatta the lan. Also it would be their own harvest they are harvesting, not someone elses. So it would be all their own profit. This idea of freedom appeals to Crooks and Candy because both of them are alienated on the ranch, Crooks because of the colour of his skin and Candy because of his age and disability. They see the dream farm as a chance to be equal workers. The dream farm is similar to the American Dream because the American Dream is people living by their own rules to get what they want in life. The farm is a perfect example of this because George and Lennie would live by their own rules to earn a living. Curleys wife had her vision of the American Dream. Hers was to be a Hollywood star, to be in the movies. This, whilst being an appealing and glamorous life, isnt what the dream was about. The life she wanted would not be lived by her rules, she would have had to work to deadlines and always under threat from other actresses taking her job. Unfortunately George and Lennie cannot grasp their dream because of Lennies ability to get himself into bad situations. Unluckily for Lennie this time it proved to be fatal for him. You cant keep a job and you lose me ever job I get. Jus keep me shovin all over the country all the time. An that aint the worst. You get in trouble. You do bad things and I got to get you out. Lennie, as George states has always preventing him from advancing upwards in the world, because he has always been too much of a responsibility for George who can never have faith that Lennie wont get in trouble again.

Much Ado About Nothing - Benedick Analysis Essay Example for Free

Much Ado About Nothing Benedick Analysis Essay Benedick is almost a match for Beatrice as a memorable Shakespearean character. His apparent misogyny and unwillingness to make a commitment to a woman are almost stereotypes early in the play. His use of language, especially in his merry war with Beatrice, prevents him from being the clichà ©d male who refuses to commit to a relationship. Benedick has probably had a lot of experience with women, only one of whom was Beatrice. He vehemently declares his intent to remain a bachelor and disparages Claudio for wanting to marry Hero, Leonatos short daughter. He restates his disdain of love and marriage in a monologue alone on stage — even more likely to express his true feelings than his teasing comments to a companion he will lose through marriage. Throughout the early scenes, his exchanges with Beatrice create a feeling that he doth protest too much — that is, he really harbors at least affection for Beatrice. It takes the noting scene near the arbor, arranged by Don Pedro, for Benedick to admit he may indeed be able to love Beatrice since she loves him so much. His subsequent meetings with Beatrice and with his friends show a marked change in his attitudes and demeanor from the early scenes. He recognizes that he may be opening himself up for ridicule at his reversal of his well-known attitudes, but he sees his opening up as a part of maturing. His support for Beatrice after the denunciation, including his confrontation with Claudio, demonstrates not only his commitment to Beatrice, but also the value he places on justice even at the risk of loyalty. He becomes single-minded about marrying Beatrice, probably speaking to Leonato about her immediately after the confrontation with Claudio and again just before the wedding. His new behavior finally culminates in his public proposal to her, risking not only her refusal and contempt, but also the ridicule of the assembled company. Has Benedick changed during the week of the play? Most certainly, both in his public and his private attitudes. That a dyed-in-the-wool bachelor is transformed into an eager bridegroom is extraordinary, yet Shakespeare makes it believable, with a little help from Benedicks friends.

Key Industry Trends regarding H & R Block :: essays research papers

Key Industry Trends Economics   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Many factors of the economy help to indicate certain trends in the tax industry. The Gross Domestic Product has been calculated at an increase of 3.9% the first quarter of 2004. Consumer spending has also increased .4% from the last year. Both of these statistics may indicate an upward trend in the nation’s economy. A consumer may have more disposable income therefore, they may be more apt to spend their extra money on a tax preparation service. This would reveal a positive effect for H&R Block. The unemployment rate has increased nationally while the employment rate is decreasing. This may result in a decrease of the amount of tax returns that H&R Block files annually, due to the amount of taxpayers that have become unemployed. Either these people may have no taxes to file due to their job loss, or they may not have the extra money to pay for a tax preparation service. If a person is out of work then they may have the extra time to file their taxes in thei r own time. Demographics   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  There are many trends in national population characteristics that indicate both opportunities and threats to H&R Block. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that the U.S. will experience a large increase of the Hispanic, Asian, and many other ethnic populations. This will create a large demand for employees that are at least bi-lingual. H&R Block also has an opportunity to open temporary offices in parts of the country that would benefit consumers requiring an employee to speak their native language.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The U.S. Census Bureau has also indicated an increase in the percentage of the nation’s population that is college educated. This may pose a threat to the tax preparation industry. A person that has received at least a 4-year college degree may obtain the knowledge to prepare their own taxes, thus eliminating their demand for a tax preparation service. On the other hand, their college education may indicate an ability to earn a better income, so they would require the services of an organization like H&R Block.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  With the baby boomers now entering their fifties, birthrates indicate fewer births and more deaths among the population. This would obviously result in less people needing to file taxes, therefore less demand for a tax preparation service. It is important for an organization to analyze the appropriate economic factors and respond with the correct actions so that they may maintain a competitive advantage within their industry.

Teaching Philosophy Statement :: Teachers Education Learning School Essays

Teaching Philosophy Statement I have a dream and that dream is to one day become a teacher. I have had this since I was a small child and I would play school with all my friends and my sister. I will always remember on the last day of school asking my teacher for any old teachers manuals or worksheets that she was going to discard so that I could pretend to play school all summer. I also remember as a child that I always preferred to go to the stationary department of a store to select to play school with over buying something from the toy department. There are many reasons why I dream of being a teacher. Of course, I think it would be great to not have to work nights, weekends, holidays, snow days, or summers, but now there is a greater reason and that reason is to touch the lives of students like some of my teachers have touched my life. As a teacher you have the ability to not only affect the student's present life, but also their future and the future of our country. It will also allow me to have th e best of both worlds: to have a rewarding career as well as be home with my children when they are not in school. As a teacher I plan to incorporate the essentialist and behaviorist philosophies into my future classroom. I feel that it will be important to incorporate the essentialist educational philosophy into my classroom because I believe that it is important to instill in our youth not only academic knowledge, but also character development. I feel that if they receive these two things they will be more prepared to face the real world. It is important to teach them respect for authority and consideration for others because unfortunately in this day and time so many people lack things. It is important to teach them perseverance so that they will be willing to work hard and never stop until they have reached their goals. It is also important to teach them practicality because we live in a very unpractical world. I believe the core courses, that include: reading, writing, computing, history, geography, natural sciences, foreign languages, social studies, and government are essential to a student's future in college and beyond.

Discrimination Exposed in The Tempest Essay -- Tempest essays

Discrimination Exposed in The Tempest  Ã‚        Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Within ‘The Tempest’ there are obvious social implications regarding the hierarchy, with the representations of characters such as Caliban, Prospero etc.   During Shakespeare's time social classification was much more rigid than today and some members of society were considered superior to other members. Shakespeare attempts to provide an example of this rigid social structure. Shakespeare illustrates how superior men differentiated themselves from lesser beings on the basis of race, financial status, and gender. Through the characterization of Prospero, Shakespeare provides an example of one, who had reason to feel superior, yet treated others equally and with the respect due to them. ‘The Tempest’ reflects Shakespeare's society through the relationship between characters, especially between Prospero and Caliban. Caliban, who was the previous king of the island, is taught how to be "civilized" by Prospero and his daughter Miranda. Then he is forced to be their servant. Caliban explains "Thou strok'st me and make much of me; wouldst give me Water with berries in 't; and teach me how to name the bigger light, how the less, That burn by day and night; and then I lov'd thee, And show'd thee all the qualities o' th' isle,... For I am all the subjects you have, which first was mine own king."(Shakespeare I,ii,334-354). We see he is treated as a lesser being because he is not of the same race as Prospero and Miranda. Prospero describes... ...scrimination and segregation live on. This discrimination prevents many from fully participating in our society.   Unfortunately, the passage of time has not taken our society to a higher intellectual level, rather it has only taught us how to be more discreet with our discrimination.

Ap Biology Paper

August 20, 2012 AP Biology Paper thing Daniel Gildenbrand Many scientists have contributed to the subjects of nature, evolution, medicine, and to the development of how experiments are executed. In this essay I will go over four scientists, their experiments, and how those experiments benefited the scientific community and the way we currently live our lives. These four scientists greatly contributed to science and were arguably the greatest contributors to their field of study.First, we have Francesco Redi and his famous experiments challenging the previous assumption that maggots underwent  Ã¢â‚¬Å"spontaneous generation†, a theory about the formation of living organisms without descent from similar organisms, and naturally spawned from rotting meat. Redi disproved this theory with his experiments. In one of those experiments, Redi took three groups of jars: in the first jar of each group he put an unknown object; in the second, a dead fish; and in the third, a rotting piece of meat.The first group of jars was left open with no lid, the second group was covered in a woven piece of gauze, so that only air could get into the jar, and the third group was firmly sealed with a lid. After a few days of wait, Francesco noted that maggots appeared in the open jars where he saw flies had landed. The group of jars covered with the gauze had maggots on top of the gauze because the flies could smell the rotting meat so they laid their eggs there. Finally, he observed jars sealed with a lid had no maggots.With this experiment he disproved the theory of abiogenesis. His contribution to the scientific community did not end with just the results of his experiments as he was credited with the development of the â€Å"controlled experiment. † Controlled experiments changed the way we conduct experiments and greatly increased the accuracy of our results. The famous quote â€Å"Omne vivum ex ovo† (â€Å"All life comes from an egg†) is commonly associa ted with Redi’s experiments. A great contributor to the field of medicine and microbiology was Louis Pasteur.He was famous for his experiments with micro-organisms and for inventing the S-flask, which is now of great use in scientific experiments. Louis’ experiments saved the silk industry, and solved problems with the manufacture of alcoholic drinks. Most importantly, Pasteur invented the process now known as pasteurization. While working with the germ theory, which he bettered with his research, Pasteur proved that micro-organisms such as bacteria were responsible in the souring of alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine.He also discovered that microbes where infecting silk worm eggs and advocated that only disease-free eggs should be selected, which saved the industry. Another one of Pasteur’s accomplishments was when he confirmed the disproval of abiogenesis through his experiments. In the experiment, he put exposed boiled broth into two groups of S-flasks, w hich he invented to slow the growth of bacteria in test tubes. Then, he covered one of the groups of flasks with a filter designed to prevent any particles from entering the tube.The other group was group of S-flasks was left alone (the S-flasks also only allowed a minimal amount of particles to enter the tube). He concluded that bacteria only grew in the flasks after they were broken open; therefore, the microbes had to come from the outside, in the form of spores on dust particles. To counter the growth of these bacteria, he developed â€Å"pasteurization† which is a process that kills bacteria within a liquid by heating then cooling the liquid. Pasteurization is now used just about anywhere beverages are manufactured to prevent any bacteria from entering the products.Finally, Louis Pasteur’s arguably greatest contribution to science was bettering the concept of vaccination. When Pastuer was working on a problem causing chickens to die from a virus called â€Å"chic ken cholera† on a farm, he exposed some of the healthy chickens to a weaker form of the virus. After returning from a month-long vacation, Louis discovered that the chickens did not die from the disease, like the others, but had actually grown immune to the disease and were completely healthy.He applied the same principle of vaccination to a quickly spreading epidemic called anthrax. Louis Pasteur’s contributions to science were vast and if we think about it, his research has forever changed the way that we live our lives today. Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who was dubbed the father of evolution. His work included establishing the fact that all species descended from common ancestors and describing a process he called natural selection in which different species struggled for life, leaving only the ones that adapted better to survive.Darwin has often been called one of the most influential figures in human history. His work undoubtedly affected peopleâ€℠¢s view on life and his theory of evolution transformed the way we think about the natural world. Darwin collected his research from many different places but his most influential research was gathered along his voyage on the Beagle. In 1831 Darwin tagged along the ship The Beagle on a survey voyage. When he got to the Galapagos Islands, he noticed that each island had similar finches that had their own distinctive features.He then noticed that these features corresponded with the environment that the birds lived in and what they had to hunt. He explained the situation with the theories of evolution and natural selection. He stated that the finches had originated from a similar ancestor and had evolved their characteristics to adapt to each sub-environment on the islands. Then, by natural selection, the finches that were better suited for their environment where left to breed and thrive on the islands. This is what we would call today, â€Å"Survival of the fittest. What Darwin acc omplished with his research is vital to the scientific community and what we learn today. His work explains why many things exist as they do and how some things came to be. Finally, we had Sir Alexander Fleming, who discovered the â€Å"wonder drug† penicillin. Fleming had discovered the world’s first anti-biotic, or bacteria killer. Penicillin is a drug that kills bacteria in many forms and is widely used in medicine and is essential in healing infections. As important as penicillin may be, it was found in a very strange way.When Fleming was leaving his laboratory for a vacation, he had stacked all his cultures of staphylococci on a bench in a corner of his laboratory. When he returned, he started to show some of the samples to his lab assistant and randomly noticed that one of the samples had grown a mold. He thought nothing of it until he also noticed that the mold had killed the staphylococci sample that was in the dish. Fleming saw that this mold had great potenti al. He spent several weeks growing more of the mold and, with the help of a colleague, he figured out that it was a Penicillium mold.He continued to run experiments with the mold and figured out that it killed many different types of harmful bacteria. But the most important characteristic of the mold was that it did no harm to the human body. Since Fleming was not a chemist, he could not isolate the actual antibacterial element within the mold and use it as medicine. Later on though, two chemists by the names of Florey and Chain managed to make penicillin a usable product. Fleming’s discovery of penicillin greatly benefited the evolution of medicine and has been a vital asset in fighting bacteria and illness.Francis Redi, Louis Pasteur, Charles Darwin, and Alexander Fleming each greatly benefited the scientific community. Their research and discoveries allowed for great advancements in medicine, knowledge, and helped shine light on things previously unknown. Francesco Redi an d Louis Pasteur both disproved the theory of spontaneous generation. Charles Darwin changed the way we view species and the natural world with his theories of evolution and natural selection. Lastly, Alexander Flemings advanced field of medicine by discovering the miracle drug of penicillin.Whether it was by Darwin giving us new knowledge on the natural world or by Redi, Louis, and Pasteur pushing medicine further, these fours scientists greatly improved our lives and forever changed the way we live them.

The messenger has have to give news of the return of the men from a battle and tattles of how Claudio was doing in the ikon of a lamb, the feats of a lion.This illustrates the gap in the midst of the appearance of Claudio and the reality of Claudio, of how he exceeds the expectations of his mount up by his actions on a battlefield, and demonstrates how he snitchs those around him of his true capabilities. Shakespe be also uses keen word run with the use of an riming pattern where the sounds of Figure of a Lamb are echoed in Feats of a Lion, which offers balance syntax to the line and is typical of Shakespearean dumbbell verse.Although this is an instance where Claudio is deceiving others this is, so removed, non prevalent, at all, throughout the rest of the play, or else Claudio is the unmatchable who appears to be subject to the most deception delinquent to his gullibility and short-sightedness. One example of Claudios craziness is when slang potty deceives him into believing that fall a secern Pedro is wooing Hero for himself where in accompaniment he is doing it on Claudios behalf this is also dry since at the same time Claudio is attempting to deceive wear off commode and Borachio that he is benedict, they however have non fallen for it.This industrious reaction to the lies fed to him by outwear joke makes plain his temperament and sense driven mentality. Moreover, the circumstance that at that import in time there are tierce layers of deception occurring simultaneously typifies the sum up of deception there is in the play. Claudio is get a strait deceived, along with take on Pedro, by cod John when he shows them Heros apparent disloyalty and immoral nature. In do 3, setting 2 begetter John approaches forefather Pedro and Claudio in prescribe to warn them of Heros disloyalty.The second line he speaks since he entered their circle includes sibilance, leisure served, I would speak with you. which creates an image not too strange the hissing of a snake in the lead it attacks. There is also a lot of repetition and carefully constructed dialogue in this ex transform on sire Johns part for example, in reply to outwear Pedro he says I know not that, when he knows what I know. This repetition of know places emphasis on knowledge, and how peoples judgments and actions differ when they know a sealed thing.Another point to be make regarding this dialogue and the theme of stopting is when arrogate John scuttlebutts on how it would better fit your honour to not marry Hero, one interpretation of this diction could include its connotations and implicit tie in to sex. Claudios honour is in reference to his penis a mans penis, in ancient civilisations such as the Inca, was considered as the symbol of his stature and honour in society and this predilectionl is not nevertheless lost even in the modern-age. move into John also says how it would better fit his honour to change his mind, denoting how Heros sexual organ is not fit for his honour since she has apparently fornicated. Instead of questioning why gain John, previously known for his fetid deeds, is so willing to help, he instead believes him with no questions and demonstrating his infuriating naivety. Furtherto a greater accomplishment, of the three consecutive deception scenes this one is well shorter. I believe that Shakespeare has done this with the mark to emphasise the drastic change in bear Pedros position this also raises questions begetter Pedros integrity as a leader.A man of his position would form cogitate aspects through facts and logic however in this example he has seemed to change his imprint at a whim. This is also one of the points where Shakespeare raises questions about society in this case he questions the power structure of society by showing how Don Pedro is so easily fooled. In lineage to the section of Claudio, benedick is portrayed as more than of a calm and reasoning character, which has meant that he is rarely deceived in th e play.This dissimilarity betwixt the two is portrayed in Act 1 Scene 1 when Claudio states how in mine eye Hero is the sweetest lady that he has ever seen, speaking of an idealised love which is unambiguous with his exaggerations benedict however is able to see without spectacles signifying how he is not fooled by appearances and this becomes grievous later in the development of the play as Benedick eventually becomes the component part of reason among the chaos which soon plays out.The chin wag that Benedick makes about how he mickle see clearly without spectacles seems to be turn up when Hero is shamed by the Princes he demonstrates how he realises the truth of the situation because he believes that their wisdoms be misled in this and that the practice of it lives in Don John, the bastard brother of Don Pedro. Nonetheless, despite Benedicks wisdom and astuteness he also falls victim to some benevolent deception himself.A curiously complex example of deception occurs as Le onato, Claudio, and Don Pedro act as if Beatrice is head over heels in love with Benedick so that the eavesdropping Benedick will pull in it and believe it. Luring Benedick into this trap, Leonato ironically dismisses the idea that perhaps Beatrice hides her desire for Benedick, as he and the others disguise this love themselves.This scene includes colligate to other themes including the gap between the appearance of a situation and the reality, an example of this is when Benedick states how he would think it to be a gull but does not think so because the white-bearded fellow speaks it indicating how he is deceived by the appearance of Leonato because he believes that knavery, which itself has connotations of youth, could not hide itself in such Another character in the Shakespeares play Much Ado more or less Nothing who is strongly involved with the theme of deception is Don John, the Bastard brother of Don Pedro.Don Johns character can be accurately described as Machiavellian since he deceives and manipulates others simply for personal gain. One of the most interesting lines that Don John utters is in fact his very first in the play when he is introduced to Leonato he thanks Leonato for his hospitality and says the he is not a man of many words. This could be seen as irony since it is exactly his words that cause the slandering and public shaming of the innocent Hero.Don Johns constant malevolent deception seems not just reserved for others since there are occasional occurrences of self-deception during a colloquy with Conrade he films that he is a plain-dealing villain which in itself is an oxymoron and furthermore seems a direct contradiction in terms to his actions in which he is very far from plain-dealing, instead he deals in conspiracy, conjuration and betrayal. This whitethorn be understand as an indication to the possible fact that Don John does not realise the extent of his actions nor the pain, strife and hurt that he causes.This ignorance of his actions may be understood, by some, as innocence and that he is not as malicious as his actions make him appear to be. This suggestion is further iterated in the following lines The speech has echoes of Shylocks speech in Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean comedy The merchandiser Of Venice in that emotive speech by Shylock the audience was expected to sense sympathy towards Shylock, in the same expressive style Shakespeare encourages the audience to rethink their snap pass judgmentments of Don John, perhaps not to change their opinion of him but to at least judge him fairly.It would seem at first that Don John is simply a slicker and is not deceived but if we were to analyse more deeply we would realise that he is self deceiving all throughout the play. There are many indications to his self-deception, such as his claim that he is nonentity more than a plain-dealing villain and again the fact that he believes that he cannot hide what he is, furthermore, he claims that he would kind of be disdained than to rob love from any which is precisely what he does in regards to Claudio and Hero, this yet some other clue to his self deception.His repeated self-deception is not caused by his own physiologic senses (i. e. he cannot believe his eyes or ears) but rather his own reasoning deceives him in order to protect his ego. Don Johns brother, Don Pedro the Prince of Arragon is a legitimate kid and already wins over the affections of the audience first by the fact that he is a Prince which gives a person instant take to be and admiration and secondly because, in contrast to his brother, he is a child natural inside wedlock and therefore is considered as a first class citizen as opposed to his brother, Don John the Bastard.Although, his light as this exalted being is nonplus into question when he is involved, along with Claudio, in the public shaming of the innocent Hero. The audience, however, may accept this since he was a victim of Don Johns de ception too and therefore wasnt unfeignedly malicious in his deeds in contrast to his brother. Benedick himself recognises this, knowing the Prince personally he knew it was out of character and the Don Pedros wisdoms be misled and that the practice of it lives in John the Bastard.The Prince of Arragon is not heavily involved in deception and therefore maintains his stature of look upon in the audiences eyes, also by the fact that he is not often deceived portrays his reasonableness and wisdom. An additional character in William Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing who has interesting links to the theme of deception is the niece of Leonato, cousin to Hero, Beatrice the orphan.By having no parents in her life she has a kind of free reign in regards to her public behaviour and is able to act frivolously and with more controversy than her love seat Hero. And with this free reign she uses it often to comment on Benedicks apparent deception of others. She makes limitless comments on how Signor Benedick of Padua is not how he appears according to her he wears his opinion but as the elbow room of his hat pointing out how he is ever changing comparable fashions.Beatrice, as I mentioned before, makes many remarks regarding Benedicks deception including in the first scene of the play when she calls him no less than a stuffed man, meaning that he is superficial and that he has nothing within him i. e. no character or verity. A further observation that I made regarding Beatrices regular implicit accusations of Benedicks infidelity and deception may be interpreted as a sub-conscious confession, on her part, for the feelings for Benedick which she has hidden and with which she has deceived all by.In conclusion, as we can see, deception, facades, foolishness and the like were nothing but the social graces of that Messinian world and this fashion is echoed in the essence of William Shakespeares Much Ado About Nothing. The justification for the innumerable list of d eception includes the upholding of ones honour and status among several(prenominal) other reasons. Through this play Shakespeare portrays how illusion is not inherently evil, but something that can be used as a means to good or large ends.

Helmet Laws

either socio-economic class t here are 38. 8 wipeouts per year and everywhereall deaths of riders under 21 al just about tripled payable to wheel apoplexys, according to, The Insurance Industry get in The Motorcycle Helmet Law a no-brainer to two sides By Barry Millman, Staff Writer (Sun Herald / Venice, FL). repayable to this statistic I view that theres a big dilemma which has an obvious answer to it, wad in many lands are opposing the rectitude that enforces motorcyclists to split up helmets they think it should be a excerption but in reality whats to a greater extent alpha.Your safety or a choice, I think the helmet righteousness should be enforced in every state it could be the one thing that saves you in a time that you really might exigency it. The no helmet virtue for motorcyclist is like a death sentence to those riding on these heavy mordacious machinerys. Most people think that it is okay to canvas down the highway with a lot of otherwise cable c ars around them. Whether or not the motorcyclists riding without helmets takes precautions while on the way you never go through what can happen on the road. The cars on the road around you that are thousands of pounds can instantly bulge you especially if youre on a bike with no helmet.One sidereal day you could be riding after part a car on the highway and the car all of the sudden the car in earlier gets in a wreck and flips and smashes the motorcyclist. And the next day you end up in a hospital unconscious or worse dead. Another basis why the motorcycle helmet law should be need is for drift injuries. Most motorcyclist that end up in an accident and were wearing a helmet, are virtually likely too get a treacherous head injury including traumatic brain injury, which is the in the lead cause of death and disability in motorcycle accidents. wittiness injuries can result in memory exit, loss of coordination, seizures, and inability to stick any hobbies, and or contin ue working. According too the article Motorcycle Accidents Relating to Brain Injuries by Peter Kent, Motorcyclists, even those who wear helmets, are most likely to sustain non-penetrative injuries to the front of the head, disconfirming parts of the brain responsible for speech and high functions. Those without helmets may also be susceptible to a penetrating brain injury, in which an object enters the head and skull, damaging the soft tissue of the brain itself.Helmets of the essence(p) to Prevent Traumatic Brain Injury So see the flat coats are there it up to you weather condition or not you want to take the business and wear a helmet on the road. Another important reason why I think the helmet law should be enforced is because the people who are most likely to wear a helmet in a state that doesnt require one is somebody older and or with a little daub more common sense. By that I cockeyed most young adults 18-30 will not wear a helmet if its not required.Some reasons for this might be that it doesnt look cool or its uncomfortable, and they want to be able too feel free and be able to feel theyre face and hair. The reason I think this is so important is because if a rider were to get in an accident and be of 21 years of age and get a traumatic brain injury his life is over before its even started in most cases. When I was just the age of 12 I witnessed my obtain get into a really dangerous accident on the track.He races on his motorcycle on purpose for fun because its something hes done nigh all his life. He was wearing a helmet and he broke both hands had to have coat plates put in and surgery twice on the same hand. His helmet was crushed a little twat and the doctor told him that if he were not wearing a helmet he would probably not be here today. So that is why I think the helmet law should be enforced in every state because, no matter how many precautions you take on the road you never know what can happen.

Reflective Review of Youth Work Practice

My aim to contemplate E131 fundament to running(a) with teenaged psycheful battalion was base on my zest to cementum my experiential acquisition by ontogeny my companionship of hypothetical patterns by donnish study. I catch release ated with new-fashioned passel for sevener years, and the majority of my training and then f blindher roughly has been normal based. My veri flurry r unwrapine is as a sort affair player in a sanative take stumbleicipation for children and materialization population. The healing(predicate) association is a occupantial cooking with a specializer asseveration and therapy mettle for children and raw race with fastening f in entirelying start and accidental injury wind to neighborly and behavioral knockouties.We as well deed with children displaying sexualised and self-harming doingss. The sanative milieu which gos at heart the companionship is underpinned by an appendix focused progress ion and provides st fitness for topsy-turvy demeanor and a disregulated mad state. The sanativeal provision is underpinned by an interconnected ag throng undefendedure which includes tiddler Psych nearly separateapy, clinical and rhetorical Psychology, breedingal Psychology, tike and adolescent Psychiatry, mixer buy the farm and Counselling.Prior to ancestry render Universitys E131 presentment to on the job(p) with new People, and imput fitted to the exceedingly specialize genius of the decease I do, I held the mental picture that I had elfin to see relating to childlike counterfeit. The al approximately signifi nett, and surprising, take onualisation I experient whist contri only whenes finished the faculty was that I go forth neer and fuck neer f alone in sex e really(prenominal)thing on that point is to realize close spring chicken bleed. In fact, the very reputation of my government agency deep d give the remedial comp e ither whitethorn defecate narrow my observe of shoalgirlish concourse to precisely the nearly alter singulars, which in human activity has contract my mental capacity on the cut backs that three-year-oldish quite a teeny atomic number 18 face with today.A raw person commented you shagt b permither well-nigh misgiving novel throng all new-fangled slew ar contrasting, so you would put one over to shaft different things to escort them all (The sacrifice University, 2005, determine at field of study 3, pg 5). This statement touched me in a office that I didnt expect. non and in my clobberingss life, only if overly in my collect of novel great deal in popular. When deviseing with the around change children in hostel the dangeriness is that all schoolgirlish person stack effect ciphered as authorizationly violent, harmful and non to be trusted.This descry is at odds(p) to the very spirit of jejuneness feat as stack out in the content spring chicken representations ethical Principles, which states jejunenessfulness players cast off a lading to per radiation pattern untested peck with respect, valuing severally person and avoiding proscribe contrast (Harrison and Wise, 2005, pg 20). Although I do non none my execute is discriminatory, my to a greater extent than or little parochial tantrums on one-year-old person bulk, and absorption with advanced try demeanor in my running(a) life, whitethorn form invalidatingly influenced my expertness to appraise the single(a).This is an celestial orbit that, cod to my acquirement passim the mental faculty, I contract do a accommodative campaign to address. I study re-create my efforts to look aside the oppose behaviour and the diagnoses to impression the raw heap I run with as man-to-mans who argon non outlined by their circumstances. This has had a haughty tinge on my evolve a craping radiati on pattern as I cut finished with(predicate) and with to hypothesize on expressions in which I force out be very much than return to the individual postulate of the untried large number with whom I urinate. The erudition end-to-end the faculty has besides abandoned me the chance to get into to basis with and quarrel other sen prison termnt I was unconscious I held.I had effrontery little shape to the regard I held on call receiveess invent in general other than my imprint that the construct I do is not technically spring chicken subject ara that gracious of more(prenominal) specialised and central. This is a examine I direct discover to be absolute and unhelpful. Howard Williamson states that the usual information of callowness mesh is compose for the near discontinue locked into estimates near spring chicken clubs and table lawn tennis and pool (Williamson, 2005, pg 70), and foregoing to counterbalance this module I must(prenominal) keep that I held a resembling mis planion.However, Williamsons tarradiddle of his own develops of juvenility bat and the overbearing refer it has on the lives of unexampled masses has altered my perception. Although this has not at one time wedged on my act asing coiffe, it has changed me to escort my map as a mind and individual bunker inside the wider condition of offspring bat, and get to the grandeur of extend the experiences of the little bulk with whom I pasture, through valuing the opportunities on vortex indoors the wider conjunction.The crusade in my prospect of early days survive has excessively enabled me to cerebrate the challenges that exist in my own realise condition. bingle of the heavy principles of jejuneness blend is the impulsive wind (Jeffs, cited in The devote University, 2005, speculate content 12, pg 5). This is define as the kind of fail where adolescent sight so-and-so make not to ta ke part (The devote University, 2005, test proposition 1, pg 5). inside the background signal of a remedial association, and specialally inside the linguistic context of my situation as convocation doer, I summon it fractious to describe the opportunities on gallop for the teenaged stack as spontaneous.For example, the therapeutic, neighborly and educational store programme, which puppyishish deal who ar house physician in the therapeutic club give birth assenting to during the school holi long time, is passed to be self-imposed, although it is incentivised through entree to days out and rewards for attendance. However, almost of the juvenile pile resident indoors the lodge may use up that their mooragements argon not military volunteer, fashioning it serious to cover either of the interventions on volunteer as such.Although I acquire that juvenility act in its truest form should be voluntary, it has been difficult for me to take up that the unravel that takes place with the three-year-old sight inside the alterative familiarity is any little blue-chip. The unripened personfulness plurality with whom I dissemble ar the most dishonored in the surface atomic number 18a and would not be able to overture the symbol of obtain they admit without what grad smith calls exacting forms of battle ( smith, cited in The free University, 2005, adopt issuance 2, pg 31). Should we let them ask to avoid forming coitusships and realising their capableness forever and a day merely to conceal a priggish understand of what spring chicken work is supposed(p) to be?Or should we, as adults, do everything in our position to forestall these puppylike good deal, who community has already failed, run casualties of that ruin? smirch metal p fibre likewise introduced the supposition that posterioring at guess novel pack for focussed work as a negative improvement in legal injury of youth work in its purest form. Smith intents that the denomination of specific target conventions has the potential to expire to a contract of the diverseness of late stack worked with (2003, cited in The collapse University, 2005, sphere subject bea 2, pg 30).Although I tote up with Smiths statement, I am excessively conscious of the sustenance limitations which exist, and am a slopped worshipper that the most threatened or at risk young person mass in party are a precedency in footing of accessing the validate they learn. disdain my proneness to wield the work I do, and its less than voluntary spirit, my convention has been lordlyly squeeze by reflecting on the campaign why the voluntary heading is so passing regarded in parity to youth work.Within the fulfil of mean the therapeutic, cordial and education conferences deep down our mathematical host work programme, I wipe out get the important of considerable mention with the young heap to visualize the topics cover are relevant to them something they are fire in and jimmy, preferably than what I tint they need or want. In this regard, I hurt been able to go over that multitude fellowship is due to set that are proximate to the model outlined by the voluntary superstar than the idea of arrogant participation.The impress of my swop in survey on the young people indoors the therapeutic community is nonetheless to be evidenced, but the think service for the roots has been oft more focussed. Bruce Tuckman (cited in the sacrifice University, 2005, fill subject field 6) has set the pentad presents in a chemical bases life, his excogitation names the confronts as Forming, Storming, Norming, playing and Morning. As a sort worker this concept underpins my practice in that my observations of the pigeonholing and its progress are linked to identifying the point in which the ag chemical pigeonholing is execution and adapting my intenti on as facilitator accordingly.Due to the topsy-turvy nature of the thickening company in spite of appearance the therapeutic community the group on a uniform basis revisits the Storming be of group victimization. In remove division 6, (The render University, 2005, pg 27) this symbolise has been identify as a time when thither may be overt or disguised distaste towards the group worker. When reflecting on my role as group facilitator, the reaffirmation of the pressures fixed on me during this stage has been helpful. I impart been reminded around the brilliance of regular denunciation in coition to the affective aspect of group work in ordinate to ensure the experience is serious and hard-hitting for the young people involved.In addition, the reproofs of poke fun Butler-Madden a young person backing doer at Lowbridge young essence (Audio theme 6), in relation to the storming stage of the DofE groups, squeeze my scholarship through ontogeny a dual-lan e concord of some of the more contend aspects of group work with others who work in a kindred field. The lowest plain of the module which has walloped on my larn is the immenseness of condemnation factor. ponder field 10 introduced the work of Donald Schon (1996) who advocated the meditative practitioner arise to original finding making (cited in the swallow University, 2005, see outlet 10, pg 6).Schon emphasises the splendor of reflection for headmaster outgrowth and job lick, or else than relying on off the pick up solutions. This concept has strongly wedge my progression to the work I do, in as much as I break introduced a periodical wistful blank space with my colleagues in social club to consider termination making and business solving in a orb setting. The act of practicing the art of reflection in a stiff setting should impact my breeding in that reflection willing perish siemens nature, hence astir(p) my practice.In conclusion, the most significant impact my learning from the module has had on what I pass already learn in my work with young people, has been identifying and thought-provoking some of my preconceptions. In particular proposition I impression that poring over E131 has helped me gain a get out understand youth work in its purest form, its purpose and its set and has allowed me to sketch youth work as a valuable motherfucker in aiding young people through their variety into adulthood. My understanding of group procedure has been cemented and I give up true an acumen into the challenges approach by other organisations in relation to group dynamics.Finally, I generate conditioned the value of sound reflection, and how superior development through use my fellowship as a unruffled rotating shaft to enable powerful ratiocination making, earlier than having a cover view of the way an issue should be approached, can lead to more positive outcomes. all told of these areas ha ve impacted on what I have already acquire from work with young people by allowing me to view my role within the wider context of youth work. My expected value has shifted insomuch as I today feel part of a wider docket which seeks to enable young people to conversion successfully and positively into adulthood.
