This makes rivalry among the groups so as to accomplish quality. Likewise, cooperation improves productivity at work.

Despite what might be expected, the more youthful workforce is for the most part keen on learning and developing their abilities on the obligations, which they perform, hence thinks that its simpler to fill in as a group than, as people.

And if you are like me, this makes you sad, because you were one of those kids that spent half their time in various awkward positions on a couch reading books for upwards of six hours a day sometimes. Figure 1: An informative diagram that I doodled Hereâs a list of all the books Iâve read in college so far (I might be forgetting a few, but this is most of them!) and my (incomplete) list of 10 books for this coming summer! Suggestions welcomeIâd actually like to have way more than 10 books, maybe more like 20, on my list, so that I always have back-ups whenever one of them is checked out at the library ^^; (nf = nonfiction) Summer 2015 New Reads: The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddartha Mukherjee (nf) This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Re-Reads: 6-12. The Harry Potter Series (yes, the whole thing) by J.K. Rowling 13. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe Summer 2016 New Reads: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot (nf) White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi The Icarus Girl by Helen Oyeyemi What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan Re-Reads: 7. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe Honorable Mentions Things I managed to read during Not Summer The Vegetarian by Han Kang (Winter â16) The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told by Alex Haley (nf) (Spring â15) ^(Everyone!! should!!! read!!! this book!!! Everyone!! Check it out now!!!!!! iTâs RIDICULOUSLY Good!!!! And!!! IMPORTAnT!!!!) The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu (Spring Break â17) (it was the MIT Reads book selection so I got it from the MIT bookstore for free :D) (ridiculously good book by ridiculously good Asian American author) The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz (Summer â14) (I read this before I came to MIT and it made me want to take his class so bad) Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan (I read this book for a class, 21G.046: Modern Chinese Fiction and Cinema) Started but never finished, and why: We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (nf) (this is ridiculous as itâs very short and honestly more of a long essay that happens to be bound than a book, but I got back to school and got busy ;__; will finish (starting from the beginning) as soon as finals is over!)

So far, I have Nonfiction: The Gene by Siddartha Mukherjee (the sequel-ish to a book above) (was too popular last summer to check out) Fresh Off the Boat by Eddie Huang (tried before, also too popular) Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (one of few mixed celebrities that actually talks about the experience of being a mixed person, which I really appreciate) The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks Fiction: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath Paradise by Toni Morrison 1984 by George Orwell Inevitable Re-Read: 5. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe Iâd really like to read more Asian or Asian-American authors and more nonfiction, as Iâve been trying to diversify the books I read. Iâve at least successfully read a few African and African-American authors by now, and Ken Liuâs The Paper Menagerie was really great and the first book Iâve read that also really reflected on the Asian/Asian American experience, through sci-fi stories (!!!!), in a very organic way. Going to try and add to that~ Some Thoughts If there is one book that you read after reading this post, make it The Autobiography of Malcolm X, as told by Alex Haley. I promise you that it is not what you are expecting. It is not some dry book of a vaguely important historical figure, and the writing is not super dated or hard to understand. Rather, Malcolm X is like an action movie script, a teen comedy, a coming of age novel, a Shakespearean tragedy, and almost sci-fi-like in its weirdness (particularly Malcolmâs experience with Black American Islam and his rift with Elijah Muhammad), all rolled into one. This man lived an incredible life in ridiculous conditions. While reading it, I could hardly believe that it was all real. I really canât emphasize that enough!! Another comment Iâd like to make is about the book that I have re-read every summer of college, from 2014 til now, which is Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I really like how Achebe rolled together almost everything I feel about colonialism and now neo-colonialism. Itâs a lot more complex than simply âthe colonialists were badâ, and I feel like Things Fall Apart really reflects that. As much as you can see that colonialists profit more than you do from your own work, if your rural area now receives health care, how do you justify keeping them away? If your quality of life is generally better even though youâre being exploited, how do you actively combat that? How does this war of feelings manifest inside a person, destroying them from the inside as they are pulled apart by traditional culture and colonial exploits and fear for survival of a family(ok Iâm waxing poetic here, but the point is, the book is really good). This summer Iâll probably re-read it again along w ith a short story, âThe Headstrong Historianâ in The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which also discusses colonialism. Itâs really interesting to read the differences between two amazing Nigerian authors in two different time periods, with different ideologies, and yet handling some of the same key issues that have, for better or worse, been woven into the societies of many nations. Happy Reading!! Whatever book that you enjoy, whether itâs a new one or an old one or that one you keep meaning to start or finish, I hope youâll find time to read this summer! It can be on the train, the plane, to work, at lunch, in the evenings, or my personal favorite, while âsittingâ improperly on an armchair :) Post Tagged #comics VWVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702796936020603557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751189559484656107.post-42161157021156413922020-05-23T19:45:00.001-07:002020-05-23T19:45:03.241-07:00Malcolm X Assassination Essay - 808 Words Jayden Bohannon Mr.Cheney 9th Grade Literature December 7th 2017 The Unjust Assassination of Malcolm X At the young age of 39, Malcolm X was assassinated by Thomas Hagan in cold blood.

In the introductory part, a brief would be given over the trust being one of the forms of business in Australia, along with introduction of a trustee. The discussion would also cover the very basis from where the case of Re Richtstar was born and the background of the beneficiary of a trust. Once these points have been introduced, the main discussion of the essay would begin. Re Richstar The first and foremost thing which will be discussed in this essay, after introducing the topic is the very case of which the legal and practical implications are to be analyzed. This discussion would touch the background of discretionary trusts and the role which a trust structure plays. The factual background of the case is a must for understanding its implications and hence, the same would be given. The key issues, based on the legislatures, which can be referred to as the Rules in IRAC format, would then be highlighted. This would be followed by the verdict given by the court in this case. Implications After the case is introduced, both the legal and practical implications which have been presented due to this particular case would be discussed in detail. In doing so, each of the points raised by the court in giving their ruling would be highlighted. The reason for this is to enable the understanding of each of the key statements made by the court, and their resultant implication, which touch both the practical and the legal aspect. For instance, a discussion would be carried on section 9 of the Corporations Act, 2001 and the manner in which the same was adopted and analyzed in this matter by the court. This would show how the definition contained in this section has to be interpreted. This would not only highlight the legal aspect, due to being the part of a statute, but also the practical aspect, as the clarity of the definition contained in section 9, with regards to property would be clarified for the future cases, hence, the practical aspect. The ruling given by French J and the supporting cases would also be discussed in this very segment, as they show how this case has to be implied with reference to the cases quoted by French J, for the future cases. This again highlights the practical implications of Re Richstar, when coupled with the previous cases. This essay would not simply discuss what happened, but would analyze what are its implications, along with what was missed in this judgment. This aspect would touch the practical implications, along with the legal ones, as it would highlight the other act relevant to this case, i.e., the Bankruptcy Act. This pattern of judgment and its implications would then be continued. Conclusion Once all the legal and practical implications have been discussed properly, the essay would end with a summary of the entire discussion in a brief. And it would be concluded that the case did not have much of legal or practical implications, apart from acting as a guideline for the future.

During 17th century, Americans were under colonial rule that denied them rights and powers to govern themselves. Then, Americans fought for their independence gradually by demanding their recognition and inclusion into the colonial government that had oppressed for quite some time.Advertising We will write a custom assessment sample on The United States Constitution specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Colonialists flooded the US in early 17th century from various parts of the world, majorly Europe because they were escaping religious persecution and in search of expansive land for agriculture. Under oppression, Americans made several initiatives in a bid to emancipate themselves and these initiatives culminated into independence in 1776. According to Garrett, in 1765, 13 colonies met to discuss the violation of fund amental rights and in 1774 and 1775, first and second continental congress respectively resolved to have independence (12). In 1776, the United States got its independence and adopted a new constitution in 1787. This constitution has become the legal basis for the present government. Despite the fact that the formulation of the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution dates back to more than 230 years ago, it is still remarkably viable in the modern government. The preamble of the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution envisages a perfect union of diverse states based on common defence, liberty, justice and tranquillity. Even though the preamble dates back to more than two centuries ago, it formed the basis of federal form of government that still exists today. American government has a federal model of government that other countries are trying to emulate for it is a perfect union of diverse states. Garrett argues that the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution has stood the test of time because it established federal government as it exists currently (19). The existence of the federal government reflects viability of the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution in modern governance. Therefore, current union of states has its basis in the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution, which envisaged perfect union and how federal government functions and relates with central government. The United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution is still viable in modern governance because it has an elastic clause that makes it flexible and adaptive to modern changes, which are consistent with new forms of governance. According to Section 8 of Article I, Congress has powers to make necessary amendments that are essential and consistent with the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution.Advertising Looking for assessment on political sciences? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More The United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution is a legal framework that anchors several amendme nts and provisions in view of evolving legal issues of governance in the modern world. Wedes argues that, the elastic clause is particularly relevant to modern governance because it does not only give power to Congress to conduct necessary and appropriate amendments, but also ensures that the constitution is in tandem with dynamic needs of governance (p.1). For instance, Congress has made several amendments in modes of taxation, regulation of commerce and security issues with regard to terrorism. Thus, elastic clause has made the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution remain viable and reliable in current governance. Moreover, the amendment process of the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution is decidedly stringent to protect it from undue mutilation and changes that would make it lose its viability over time. The United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution has the first ten amendments that form basis of human rights, which are inalienable. From independence, the first ten amendments have remained and are truly viable as they are provisions that stipulate inherent and immutable rights of every citizen in America. For instance, the first amendment to the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution provides and guarantees freedom of expression, religion, association and petition. The first amendment assured Americans that the federal government will protect and secure their rights for posterity. In addition, Garlinger states that, the fourteenth amendment to the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution forbids any state from making or enforcing any law that restrict the privileges or deprive life, liberty and property (p.32). Hence, in spite of numerous attempts to amend the constitution, the amendments to United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution are central to human rights and have become the cornerstone in advocacy of human rights, thus still viable in the present government. Supreme Court of the United States also has powers to review the constitutionality of statutes, amendments and treaties th at congress makes to guarantee their consistency with the constitution. According to Prakash and Yoo, Marbury v. Madison (1803), did set a precedent, which gave powers to Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of congressional statutes and amendments (890). Currently, Supreme Court still has powers to review and determine the constitutionality of statutes and amendments of the Congress. Thus, Supreme Court has a considerable role in ensuring that the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution remains viable and consistent across all ages except few amendments that enhance its application in modern governance.Advertising We will write a custom assessment sample on The United States Constitution specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Conclusion Although the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution is over 200 years old, it is still highly relevant in modern society. The constitution provides a legal framework, which anchors several provisions a nd amendments that occur over a period. The legal framework of the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution has relatively remained constant for over 200 years, and is still relevant and viable because it is flexible in adopting new judicial and governing reforms. It is quite evident that the United Statesââ¬â¢ constitution been stable for a long period because of federal form of government, elastic clause, stringent amendment process and judicial review, all of which attest its viability and relevance in the modern United States.

This paper will evaluate the impact of the Beatles to popular culture, and how they have gained great notoriety, popularity, and influence during and beyond said time frame. Initially, an overview of the Beatles shall be presented, including how and why they were able to gain much popularity. A discussion on the impact of the statement of John Lennon on being more popular than Jesus would also be presented. Supporting proof of their popularity shall also be discussed in relation to the popular culture in the 1960s and 1970s. Concluding remarks shall end this discussion, highlighting the impact of the Beatles to popular culture and how their statement reverberates to the current times. The leading authorities on this topic are Hecl and Womack. Hecl discussed that the impact of the Beatles on popular culture was so significant that it was easy to believe that they were more popular than Jesus. Womack also discusses that the youth during the 1960s and 1970s were so enamored and so in awe of the Beatles that they patronized their records more than they did Jesus and Christianity. I also believe that at that point in time, during the peak of the Beatles popularity that they were indeed more popular than Jesus. So, basing it on those considerations, I would be inclined to believe that they were indeed more popular than Jesus. ...

Overview The Beatles were a rock band from England, established in 1960 in Liverpool and they are considered one of the most popular and most successful acts in history2. The members of the group include John Lennon (rhythm guitar and vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar and vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar and vocals), and Ringo Starr (drums and vocals)3. Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the songs with occasional contributions from George Harrison. They gained much popularity in UK and in the US as their songs also gained greater social significance. Although Lennon, McCartney, Starr, and Harrison were its popular members, the group started out as a five group line-up with Stuart Sutcliffe playing the bass and Pete best playing the drums4. Sutcliffe soon left the band and Best was replaced by Starr. Their successful career was molded by producer George Martin and manager Brian Epstein. Their first hit in the UK was Love Me Do and in the years which followed, more hits were produced. They became a music phenomenon, and their popularity soon gained the moniker Beatlemania5. They led the so-called British invasion as they hits gained much attention in the US. They toured the world and their popularity reached even greater heights. After producing massive hits, the band broke up in 19706. However, each of them was still able to establish strong solo careers, especially for John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Although the group was only together for 10 years, their strong, successful, and highly influential career is VWVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702796936020603557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751189559484656107.post-58059865688765584302020-02-04T03:35:00.001-08:002020-02-04T03:35:02.969-08:00Vietnam and War Aftermaths Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words - 1Vietnam and War Aftermaths - Essay Example Therefore, increased population in the country has increased pressure on the existing social amenities such as schools and hospitals. In addition, the infrastructure of the country is also under pressure since little has been done to improve its status despite being destroyed during the war period. In addition to the challenges caused by the rapid increase in population, poverty levels of people living in Vietnam make me hate the system of government operating there. In the mid- 1980s and early 1990s, a majority of people living in Vietnam were living in deplorable conditions due to the high levels of poverty in the country. However, it is also good to note that the government took an initiative to correct the situation by initiating systematic strategies. This has brought some changes as reported by the United Nations Human Development Reportââ¬â¢ in 2003 which indicated that the poverty levels in Vietnam had greatly reduced. But the situation is still not very stable as many people living in the poverty prone rural areas migrate to town in search of better living conditions. Further, this has led to the famous rural-urban migration resulting to the population explosion in towns. On the other hand, I am worried about the environmental situation of the country. The pollution levels in the country are high causing the negative impact on several areas in the country and of much concern, the agricultural sector. To begin with, deforestation practices are much rampant in the country resulting from forest destruction for use of wood as a source of fuel. In addition, due to the dilapidated infrastructure, the sewer systems in town have fallen out of control and end up in lakes and rivers without being treated. This causes serious health risks to people depending on the water sources in addition to destroying the flora and fauna existing in the lakes and river. Further, the industrial wastes are far above the recommended limits resulting to further destruction of the ecosystem.à VWVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702796936020603557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751189559484656107.post-1733740630927951572020-01-26T23:59:00.001-08:002020-01-26T23:59:05.930-08:00Defining And Understanding Social Inclusion Social Work EssayDefining And Understanding Social Inclusion Social Work Essay There have always been asylum seekers and refugees going back to the World War but in recent years the United Kingdom (UK) has seen a vast number of asylum seekers coming from different parts of the world in search of security from their troubled regimes. As a signatory to the 1951 United Nations Convention the UK has an obligatory duty to receive and protect asylum seekers until a decision has been made on their individual claim (Hepinstal et al, 2004). According to the 1951 UN Convention an asylum seeker is defined as, a person who has crossed an international border in search of safety and refugee status in another country. To get the refugee status under this Convention a person has to present with; A well founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion and is outside the country of his nationality and unable or, owing to such fear is unwilling to avail himself to the protection of that country. Too often those seeking asylum travel from their familiar communities to start new life in environments that could be alien to them which makes them vulnerable to social exclusion which is defined by the Social exclusion Unit (SEU),( 2004) as: What can happen when individuals or areas suffer from a combination of linked problems such as unemployment, poor skills, low incomes, poor housing, high crime environments, bad health and family breakdown. It is a process that deprives individuals and families, groups and neighbourhoods of resources and services needed for their general involvement and their health and well being (Pierson, 2002). Most of these factors affect the asylum population since they face immigration controls on things that shape them as individuals. This affects their engagement with the society towards expressing their individual needs. For asylum seekers to be socially included in the society certain areas of concern will have to be addressed. This is achieved by firstly understanding what social inclusion means. It is defined by some as, finding ways of preventing and overcoming social exclusion (ncaonline.org.uk). For this to be achieved the following points of views will be discussed on the issues that affect their health and well being, how resources and services from local, regional and national level can support them and the roles and responsibilities of nurses and other health and social care professionals in promoting social inclusion. However the author is going to use different available materials to provide an overview of this diverse group which is often mistaken by the public as a homogeneous group. The author is going to focus on asylum seekers (someone who is still in the process of becoming a refugee) rather than refugees (someone who has been granted the refugee status) because refugees just like o rdinary citizens have wider choices that can socially include them as compared to asylum seekers who do not have the privilege of choice. To whatever the destination an asylum seeker flees to, the journey is rather distressing with fears of being discovered, persecuted and arrested which can affects their mental health and physical well being. It is believed that when they arrive some would have been in good health but, the asylum process itself may entail its additional stresses such as conflict with immigration officials, being denied a work permit, unemployment, difficulties registering with GPs, loneliness and boredom (Hayes and Humphries, 2004). Their mental and physical health may deteriorate within two to three years of arriving due to post-traumatic experiences, unexpected changes, dependency, poverty and poor accommodation (Burnett and Fassil, 2002). Frequently reported mental health problems experienced by asylum seekers include anxiety, depression, phobias and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) which may cause long term problems if not well attended to. These may have been as a result of domestic abuse, multiple losses, torture, witnessing hostile situations and sexual abuse (Jones and Jill, 1998). Since mental health issues are viewed differently in some cultures, healthcare professionals have to be culturally sensitive towards those presenting with problems related to mental health (NMC, 2004). Those with PTSD will require strong advocacy to ensure that they have access to specialist support. However, some of the physical health needs usually suffered by asylum seekers are chronic diseases such as coronary heart diseases and diabetes which may not have been detected because of poor health facilities in countries of origin (Burnett and Fassil, 2002). Some conditions may have been acquired en-route to their destinations such as gastrointestinal problems, respiratory infections such as Tuberculosis (TB), malaria and other communicable diseases such as HIV and AIDS. Asylum seekers may present with fear of being seen as disease carriers which means they may suffer in silence, therefore demonstrating sensitivity towards these people will ensure that they are valued and respected regardless of their illnesses. Offering full medical assessments for the benefit of the individuals will help in detecting any unknown problems and find suitable interventions in promoting their health and wellbeing. Disabilities suffered through torture or war may present health concerns and emotional distress to asylum seekers (Burnett and Fassil, 2002). Those who are disabled will need referrals for assessment of needs where the provision of care may only be granted in regard to their immigration status, which may undermine their basic human needs (Immigration and Asylum Act, 1999). The author argues that this endangers the person with the disability as they will be more vulnerable to social exclusion. Some women seek asylum while they are pregnant. These may have been as a result of domestic violence, rape as well as prostitution as a result of trying to fend for themselves and their families. They may suffer complications due to late registrations, lack of geographical knowledge and support and poor ante-natal care (McLeish, 2002). In some instances when the woman is being abused her needs may not be identified because men are culturally considered as the main speaker of the family risking misdiagnosis of the illness. It will need tactical nursing skills and knowledge of different cultures for the womans needs to be met without disrespecting cultural beliefs and values. Since April 2004 failed asylum seekers have been asked to pay for their hospital charges which can have a negative impact on their mental and physical health. Since one of the core principles of the NHS towards healthcare is that care is regarded as a universal service for all and a basic human right, therefore service should be provided based on clinical need rather than an ability to pay (Kelly and Stevenson, 2006), it can be argued why asylum seekers are refused treatment and asked to pay for their services when they are not even allowed to work for them to be able to finance this need). If health professionals follow this core principal and exercise empathy it will have a positive impact on those who really need care. Accommodation is a key resource in the resettlement of asylum seekers. The areas they are dispersed to may be of great impact to their health and well being. The dispersal process may cause long term damage if they are dispersed to areas that are ill-prepared for their unique needs. There is evidence which shows that asylum seekers may be living in substandard housing that is impoverished, overcrowded and with high risks of fire and spreading of diseases (Garvie, 2001). They have no individual preferences and choices of where they want to live and who to share their accommodation with. While the Immigration and Asylum Act, 1999 makes the care in the community function dependent on immigration status, older asylum seekers who are in need of community care may not be eligible for basic services such as day centre places for those with mental problems, social work support for mental disorders and meals on wheels because they are subject to immigration control which can make their experiences difficult (Cohen, 2001). Okitikpi and Aymer (2000) sited in Pierson (2002) argues that other multi-disciplinary teams such as social workers have an unavoidable political task around the policies of dispersal in order to build broad coalitions in raising local awareness of the legal confinements with which refugee families have to cope. As granting employment to asylum seekers has been observed as a pull factor for more arrivals, asylum seekers in the UK are not allowed to work until they receive their refugee status, even though there is evidence which shows that unemployment does not have any impact on the number of people seeking asylum (Zetter et al, 2003), they are still not allowed to work and have to live on lower than subsistence levels of income as compared to the general public (Hayes and Humphries, 2004). Unemployment makes them more vulnerable to poverty, as they only receive about 70% of normal income support. Those who have exhausted their claims and being looked after under section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 only receive non cash vouchers which they can only use in certain supermarkerts where-by no change is given back which will further reduce the amount. This stigmatises, discriminates and violates their basic human rights as they will not have wider choices of supermarkets that sell f ood from their own countries. It is believed that allowing asylum seekers to work whilst awaiting their decisions may reduce negative socio-economic effects on their mental health and enhances their social integration with the society (Hayes and Humphries, 2004). The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) offers international protection to displaced asylum seekers with a well-founded fear of persecution by assuring them of certain clearly defined rights (Loescher et al, 2008). It has a responsibility of monitoring and supporting states compliance with the norms, rules and decision making procedures set out primarily by the 1951 Convention. Nationally in the UK, the National Asylum Support Service (NASS) within the Home Office works to provide accommodation and money for everyday essentials. It provides regional funding to the local councils and registered landlords in the provision of furnished accommodation. Firstly assessments are done following the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 to check if the person seeking asylum is destitute, so that the level of support needed is clear. NASS can only support those who are awaiting decisions which place those who have been refused status to become destitute and homeless. Voluntary organisations such as Yorkshire and Humberside Consortium for Asylum seekers and Refugees (set up in 2002 co-ordinates with NASS in providing management of accommodation, developing accessible services and promoting integration into new communities (www.harpweb.org.uk). Refugee council provide advice and information in individual languages, emergency accommodation and assistance in different regional areas (www.refugeecouncil.org.uk). Oxfam is also a voluntary or charitable organisation that helps in campaigning for those who are being made destitute by the asylum process to stop them from being deported back to their countries where they may be arrested and persecuted. British Red Cross also help those who are homeless by providing food supplies, clothes and vouchers to buy essentials such as toiletries (www.harpweb.org.uk).

Galaxywire. net can help the city solve high unemployment rate, because they planned to hire 3000 employees. CEO promised they will stay and treat their employees as a family to deal with increasing distrustful of large corporations in local. Few years later, the outsourcing trend becomes popular in the United States of America, especially, most of Galaxywireââ¬â¢s competitors were already outsourcing. Therefore, top management started to consider moving to India in order to save at least 10 million a year. Galaxywire. net let its employees know immediately of its intention to close the home office. It provided severance packages of a monthââ¬â¢s full pay and extended health insurance coverage for five months. But none of the top executives would be laid off and still get paid high compensations. At that time, the unemployment rate is still at 10 percent, so the city tried to find solution to make Galaxywire. net stay and still recoup most of the money it hoped to save by moving. The city does not want to lose its largest employers, so they proposed a deal that would save 7 million dollar in the first year, 8 million dollar the second, 9 million dollar yearly thereafter and extended the 60 percent tax abatement for another decade. Also, the employees agreed to a 15 percent pay cut. However, the company was not interested in the first offer and still would not stay. So the employees agreed to another 5 percent pay cut and other concessions. In addition, the city increased the tax reduction by another 5 percent. The second offer totally helps the company save 10 million dollar in the first year, 11 million dollar the next and 12 million dollar year thereafter. The second offer is very attractive, and how should the Galaxywire. net make a decision? From my own perspective, the ethical issue in this case is that Galaxywire. et is confronting the moral challenge, they are in moral dilemma, because their profit against needs of employees and the city government. If they choose to stay, it proves they fulfill the commitment. But if they choose to move to India, it proves they break the promise and dishonest. There are two solutions for Galaxywire. net to make decision. First, I suggest that Galaxywire. net should choose to stay in Green Fork and accept the first offer. The first solution has many benefits for Galaxywire. et, the reasons as follow: first, if the company chooses to stay in Green Fork and fulfill the commitment, it would increase employee loyalty and enhance the relationship with local government. Second, it is hard to measure the Indian employees will be qualified for their positions. But there are many skilled and dedicated employees in Green Fork. It is not necessary to take risk to move abroad. Third, the company should choose the first offer instead the second offer, because the second offer will bring the greater burden on local governmentââ¬â¢s budget and the employees will become inactive due to lower salaries. If the company chooses the first offer, the employees and local government will feel grateful to the company because it proves that company still care about the interests of employees and local government. According to the Libertarian theory, the company did not sacrifice individual interests and rights to satisfy the companyââ¬â¢s interest right and interests, we can say what the company did is just and moral. Although the company sacrificed some interests, they guaranteed the employees and local governmentââ¬â¢s interests. The goodwill of Galaxywire. et will be better and better due to choosing the first solution. Second, I suggest that Galaxywire. net should move to India and give up both the first and the second offer. Also, the company should provide the employees who will be laid off a chance to purchase original issue stock as compensation. There are many benefits if the Galaxywire. net chooses the second solution, the reasons as follow: first, the company can reduce the cost and save around 10 million dollar a year, because salaries expense is largest expenditure of each company. Although the second offer can help the company saving more, the local government may not be able to afford it in few years later, because the local governmentââ¬â¢s budget is limited, and it is unfair if too much budget goes to Galaxywire. net. The local government can have more budget to support other developing or small companies in local, if the scale of the companies become bigger and bigger, the high unemployment rate problem can be solved in the long run, because larger companies need more qualified employees. Expending too much budget to keep a largest company is not a wise choice. Also, the government can set up funding to training local people to be qualified employees. Second, issuing original stock as compensation is a good way to solve breaking the promise. The employees can reap benefits from this decision, because they will earn more income per year and feel thankful to the company, and it proves that the company does not put them away; the employees still can rely on company to make money. The employees who will be laid off are used to work at the largest company, and it can prove they are qualified to their position, so it is not hard to find a new job in local or Chicago. Also, the qualified employees can help the local developing or small companies develop faster. The unemployment rate seems not to be worsening if the company moves to India. In addition, the company will have more money to invest in more profitable projects in order to make more profit. When the company gains more and more revenue, they can pay dividends to their stockholders. The second solution relieves the burden of governmental budgeting, makes employees have more income, and help the company reduce the cost. From the view of Utilitarian theory, the company, the government and the employees reap great benefits of the second solution, and it means the greatest good for the greatest number. Therefore, the second solution can be just and moral theoretically. As far as I am concerned, the second solution is more appealing than the first solution. The reason is that the second solution can distribute benefits to every member. Galaxywire. net can reduce the cost and save 10 million dollar, holding stock can help employees who will be laid off earn considerable returns, and local government will not expend more and more to keep the company stay anymore instead giving money to someone who needs it. It seems that the company move to India unequal and against the moral obligation, but according to Rawls, it is moral and just, because unequal distribution of power, opportunities, income or wealth is not just unless everyone benefits. Also, according to Utilitarian theory, everyone will happy due to the benefits he or she received, so the second solution can achieve the good consequence. In addition, the second solution helps limiting the role of government to guarantee the individual1rights. If the company accepts one of two offers, more and more resources will move to the company, it would make other companies cannot have right to achieve these resources. The government plays an important role of social resources distribution. Therefore, the second solution is moral and just in Libertarian theory. The first solution is good but not the best, so it should be rejected, because the Galaxywire. net still does not receive the ideal cost reduction. Also, the local government still needs to expend more to keep company stay, and other companies will receive less support. In addition, the employees will earn less than before, it will make them inactive. Although it is moral and just in Libertarian theory, the company sacrifice own interest to other membersââ¬â¢ interests, it cannot lead to a good consequence, because the benefits cannot make each member satisfied. Therefore, the first solution is not perfect due to the view of Utilitarian theory.

As more people move to the edge of town and cities, traffic congestion may get worse. Many people will drive their cars into the city centre to get work. To address this, governments need to ensure that there are fewer cars on the roads, but individuals must do their part in support of official measures. There are three ways to reduce traffic congestion which is by improving the road infrastructure, car pooling and awareness campaign.The first way that is suitable to take an action is by improving the road infrastructure. In this case, the government should take part which is they have to built an alternative ways or road. This is because there are many people that used the same road in every day especially in a big city. By adding the alternative road, the user can choose either one of road that they want to use. It can make the road become less crowded and the traffic congestion can be reduced. Besides that, wider the size of line at the road. For example, from two line become three line.When the roads are become bigger, all the vehicle can move smoothly. Improving the road infrastructure can help to reduce the traffic congestionââ¬â¢s problem in a big cities. Secondly, the ways to reduce traffic congestion is carpooling or sharing car with friend. Nobody likes to sit in traffic. By car pooling, youââ¬â¢re doing your part to reduce the number of cars on the road. The more people who make that choice, the less traffic congestion there will be. People in big cities like Kuala Lumpur is more prefer using their own car.Imagine that if there are have 50 000 people, it is mean there are have 50 000 car or transport on the road. It will affect the bad problem on the road like traffic congestion. If we sharing car with friends or carpooling, it will decrease an amount of car or transport on the road and can reduce this problem. Make sure during we are sharing car, we must to maximum people at least 4 until 5 person in car or more than one based on type of car. Other than that, with using this alternative, the time will not wasting and also decrease the air pollution because there are a few car and transport were used and produce less of smoke.Take for example, we are going to work by sharing car with our neighbours and friends, so that the traffic congestion problem can we avoid because only a few of them are use car. Thus, carpooling or sharing car with friend is the way to reduce traffic congestion. One of the way to solve the traffic congestion is to organize the awareness campaign. A traffic jam may cause people waste a lot of time if the condition is worst and eventually ended up with late to work or to school. So, is very important for society to put in mind that to plan their time when they got out effectively to avoid by getting stuck in the middle in the road.A worker should choose to go to earlier or walk to the workplace if possible. In conclusion, improving the road infrastructure, car pooling and awareness campaign are the three ways to reduce the traffic congestionââ¬â¢s problem in the big cities. Only by the combination of government policy and the acceptance by individuals of the responsibility for the problems related to the increasing number of cars in cities, can help to reduce this problem from keep happen.

According to Marx, capitalism leads to the alienation of man, which work becomes a punishment rather than a pleasure. ââ¬ËAlienationââ¬â¢ was separating people into rigid categories and separates humans from one another by the indifferent to the needs of others. First Marx argues for that work becomes estranged from his product, therefore worker produce products for someone else, man is unable create and enjoy work of labour. Secondly, worker becomes estranged from the work itself, where labour becomes burden after the loss of creativity or identity. Thirdly labour in capitalist societies leads the alienation of people from other species beings, where workers isolated from other beings. In a capitalist society workers become isolated as individuals and view other workers as competitors and enemies rather than friends. As a result of the alienation, humans are turn into machines and tools for the capitalist society and their common bonds and shared concerns are demolished (J.Gin gell, A.Little and C.Winch, 2000).

Answer: Introduction: The National Healthy School Canteen guidelines provide the national guidance as well training to the canteen manager. This helps them to make healthier foods for the school students in the school canteen. However, Peralta, Dudley and Cotton (2016) mentioned that there are regulation ranges that a school food service system needs to maintain. The school canteen managers need to maintain the food safety and the work health and safety. The ACT public school food and drink policy (2015) helps to develop the school food and drink policy to support the guidelines for the implementation of the National Healthy school canteen guidelines (2013) (Veugelers, 2015). This policy helps to provide knowledge of the food and nutrition to the school students and their parents. Example of the school canteen legislation and curriculum overseas is the school canteen legislation England. This legislation helps to educate the parents about the healthy eating and maintenance of the normal BMI range. In Australia, childhood obesity became a big issue that can lead to various health issues. According to Peralta, Dudley Cotton (2016), 24 % boys and 21.5% girls were suffering from the obesity and overweight in 2010 in Australia. The school canteen legislation can help the kids to educate about the healthy eating behavior. Therefore, the schools need to develop some curriculum activities for the school students. The teachers needs to make the students aware about the strong effects of the physical activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid the health issues. In such circumstance, the parents also need to be aware about the healthy food habit of their children. For this purpose, an action plan strategy is made and recommendation is given. Action plan strategies and recommendation Strategies Activities Timeframes Responsible persons Resources required Success measurement Raise awareness among the students to quit bad food habits Organize food time and habit information session Develop posters and pamphlets for the students Arrange meeting with the parents May to July Health and wellbeing committee School teachers Program coordinator Budget Materials for poster making Time of the school teachers Time of the program coordinators Record of the number of present students with their parents Measure the post program activities Create healthy food habit policy Set up a working group to develop and imply the healthy food habit policy July to October School teachers Program coordinator Aware students Policy makers Budget Time of the policy makers Time of the school teachers Time of the program coordinators Developed policy implementation Knowledge and awareness among the students Promote and support the healthy food habit Promote the policies and program awareness among the general public October to May Program coordinator Aware students Budget Time of the program coordinators Number of the participants in the program Success of the program Table 1: Action plan strategies and recommendation (Source: Ronto et al., 2017 and Nathan et al., 2015) References Nathan, N., Wolfenden, L., Williams, C.

The intangible assets include, but not limited to, musical, literary, various works of art, terms, signs, and inventions. Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Intellectual Property Rights specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Internationally, the governing body is the World Intellectual Property Organization, and it is responsible for granting exclusive rights to the owner of the intellectual property for a varying period, according to the type of the intangible asset. Because of the benefits of intellectual property rights, they should be protected by all countries. In order to protect intellectual property, a number of agreements are usually reached to ensure that the owners retain the exclusive rights regarding their use. The first agreement is copyrights, which refer to the set of exclusive rights, specified under the copyright laws of a country, that guard the original authors of both published and unpublished works of literature from unaccredited reproduction and republication (Bainbridge, 2009). In this form of intellectual property, the creator of the copyright is endowed with the responsibility to control how the work is used for a specified period, after which the work is open for others to use. The second agreement is trademarks. These refer to any unique symbol or indicator used mostly by companies for identification purposes, for example, the products of Nike Inc. can easily be identified through the design of their logo. Once registered, a trademark has a legal protection and any unauthorized use of that trademark can make the originator to sue the responsible individuals for trademark infringement. The third fo rm of intellectual property is patents, which refer to the granting of exclusive rights to an originator for a specified time period for discovering any new, beneficial, and no-obvious thing (as opposed to the rights of authorship of any form of art or literature). Advertising Looking for essay on intellectual property? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More A patent is usually granted by the state in exchange for the originatorââ¬â¢s agreement to disclose the aspects of the invention to the rest of the people (Smith Russel, 2005). Another type of agreement is trade secrets, which refer to the initiatives an organization can put in place to ensure that it gains a competitive edge in the market, for instance, an organization can protect trade secrets by issuing contracts to its workers or by locking sensitive information away in a bank vault. Lastly, industrial design rights, often conferred for a period of ten to twenty-five ye ars, have been employed to shield the aesthetic design of items that are not entirely serviceable. Protecting intellectual property rights has many benefits. Importantly, the rights shield the originator from unauthorized use of his or her ideas; consequently, the originator can comfortably earn the sweat of his or her hard work. In addition, the introduction of the rights has played an essential role in enhancing inventiveness and creativity because the originator of the idea often feels free to disclose his or her inventions to the public without the fear of being misused. The costs of protecting the intellectual property rights usually vary from one country to another and the type of intellectual property to be protected. Further, it is important to note that the costs are far less compared to the damages one can incur due to the misuse of his or her ideas.

Part of a well known Philadelphia Quaker family, Nicholas uncle, Attwood Shute, served as the citys mayor from 1756-1758. At age seven, his uncle sponsored his admission to the noted Philadelphia Academy. Studying with the children of other prominent families, Nicholas established important relationships which would aid him later in life. Graduating in 1759, he earned entry into the Schuylkill Fishing Company, an exclusive social fishing and fowling club. Samuel Nicholas - Rising in Society: In 1766, Nicholas organized the Gloucester Fox Hunting Club, one of the first hunt clubs in America, and later became a member of the Patriotic Association. Two years later, he married Mary Jenkins, the daughter of a local businessman. Shortly after Nicholas married, he took over the Connestogoe (later Conestoga) Wagon Tavern which was owned by his father-in-law. In this role, he continued to build connections across Philadelphia society. In 1774, with tensions building with Britain, several members of the Gloucester Fox Hunting Club elected to form the Light Horse of the City of Philadelphia. Samuel Nicholas - Birth of the US Marine Corps: With the outbreak of the American Revolution in April 1775, Nicholas continued to operate his business. Though lacking in formal military training, the Second Continental Congress approached him late that year to aid in establishing a marine corps for service with the Continental Navy. This was largely due to his prominent place in Philadelphia society and his connections to the citys taverns which Congress believed could furnish good fighting men. Agreeing, Nicholas was appointed Captain of Marines on November 5, 1775. Five days later, Congress authorized the formation of two battalions of marines for service against the British. With the official birth of the Continental Marines (later US Marine Corps), Nicholas had his appointment confirmed on November 18 and was commissioned as a captain. Quickly establishing a base at Tun Tavern, he began recruiting Marines for service aboard the frigate Alfred (30 guns). Working diligently, Nicholas raised five companies of Marines by the end of the year. This proved sufficient to provide detachments for the ships of the Continental Navy then at Philadelphia. Samuel Nicholas - Baptism of Fire: Having completed recruiting, Nicholas took personal command of the Marine Detachment aboard Alfred. Serving as Commodore Esek Hopkins flagship, Alfred departed Philadelphia with a small squadron on January 4, 1776. Sailing south, Hopkins elected to strike at Nassau which was known to have a large supply of weapons and munitions. Though warned of a possible American attack by General Thomas Gage, Lieutenant Governor Montfort Browne did little to bolster the islands defenses. Arriving in the area on March 1, Hopkins and his officers planned their assault. Coming ashore on March 3, Nicholas led a landing party of around 250 Marines and sailors. Occupying Fort Montagu, he paused for the night before advancing to occupy the town the next day. Though Browne had managed to send the bulk of the islands powder supply to St. Augustine, Nicholas men captured a large number of guns and mortars. Departing two weeks later, Hopkins squadron sailed north and captured two British ships as well as fought a running battle with HMS Glasgow (20) on April 6. Arriving at New London, CT two days later, Nicholas traveled back to Philadelphia. Samuel Nicholas - With Washington: For his efforts at Nassau, Congress promoted Nicholas to major in June and placed him at the head of the Continental Marines. Ordered to remain in the city, Nicholas was directed to raise an additional four companies. In December 1776, with American troops forced from New York City and pushed across New Jersey, he received orders to take three companies of Marines and join General George Washingtons army north of Philadelphia. Seeking to regain some momentum, Washington devised an attack on Trenton, NJ for December 26. Moving forward, Nicholas Marines were attached to Brigadier John Cadwaladers command with orders to cross the Delaware at Bristol, PA and attack Bordentown, NJ before advancing on Trenton. Due to ice in the river, Cadwalader abandoned the effort and as a result the Marines did not take part in the Battle of Trenton. Crossing the next day, they joined Washington and took part in the Battle of Princeton on January 3. The campaign marked the first time that US Marines served as a fighting force under US Army control. Following the action at Princeton, Nicholas and his men remained with Washingtons army. Samuel Nicholas - The First Commandant: With the British evacuation of Philadelphia in 1778, Nicholas returned to the city and re-established the Marine Barracks. Continuing recruiting and administrative duties, he effectively served as commandant of the service. As a result, he is generally considered to be the first Commandant of the Marine Corps. In 1779, Nicholas requested command of the Marine Detachment for the ship of the line America (74) then under construction at Kittery, ME. This was denied as Congress desired his presence in Philadelphia. Remaining, he served in the city until the service was disbanded at the end of the war in 1783. Samuel Nicholas - Later Life: Returning to private life, Nicholas resumed his business activities and was an active member in the State Society of the Cincinnati of Pennsylvania. Nicholas died on August 27, 1790, during a yellow fever epidemic. He was buried at the Friends Graveyard at Arch Street Friends Meeting House. The founding officer of the US Marine Corps, his grave is adorned with wreath during a ceremony each year on November 10 to mark the services birthday.

What is it and why should you attend? In the most simple terms, a private school open house is a chance for you to visit the school. Some schools have a block of time where prospective families can come and go, meet the admissions team, and take a quick tour, while others offer full programs that require families to register in advance and arrive by a specific time. Open houses may have limited space, so if its not clear whether registration is required, its always a good idea to check with the admissions office to be sure.à Exactly what happens at an open house can vary from school to school, but typically you can expect to hear from the Head of School and/or the Director of Admission, as well as one or more of the following things during an open house.à A Campus Tour Nearly every private school open house will have an opportunity for prospective families to tour the campus. You might not be able to see the entireà campus, especially if the school is set on hundreds of acres, but youll likely get to see the main academic buildings, the dining hall, library, the student center (if the school has one), arts facilities, gymnasium, and select athletics facilities, as well as a School Store. Often these are led by students, giving you a chance to ask questions about life from a students perspective.à If youre attending an open house at a boarding school, you might also get to see a dorm room or at least the inside of the dormitory and the common areas. If you have a special request for a tour, you will want to call the admission office in advance to see if they can accommodate you or if youll need to schedule a separate appointment.à Panel Discussions and Question Answer Session Many private schools will host panel discussions where students, faculty, alumni and/or current parents will talk about their time at the school and answer questions from the audience. These discussions are a great way to get a general overview of life at the school and help you learn more. Usually, there will be limited time for questions and answers, so if your question doesnt get asked and answered, just ask to follow up with an admission representative later on.à Class Visits Attending a private school means going to class, so many schools will offer students and their parents to attend class so you can get an idea of what the classroom experience is like. You may not be able to attend the class of your choice, but attending any class, even if its conducted in another language, will give you an idea of the student-teacher dynamic, style of learning, and if youll feel comfortable in class. Some schools will offer students the opportunity to shadow current students for an entire day, giving you the full experience, while others only provide the opportunity for visitors to attend one or two classes.à Lunch Food is an important part of a school, as youre going to each lunch here every day and if youre a boarding student, breakfast, and dinner, too. Many private school open houses include lunch so you can try the food and see what the dining hall is like.à Club Fair Schools will sometimes offer a club fair, where prospective students and families can learn about after-school sports, activities, clubs, and other things that happen on campus as part of student life. Each club or activity may have a table where you can ask questions and meet students who share the same interests as you.à Interview Some schools will offer a chance for prospective students to interview during the open house event, while others will require a second personal visit to conduct these. If youre not sure if interviews are possible or if youre traveling from a distance and want an interview while youre there, ask if its possible to schedule one before or after the event.à Overnight Visit This option is less commonà and is only found at select boarding schools, but occasionally prospective students are invited to spend the night in the dorm. These overnight visits are arranged in advanceà and are not available if you just show up at an open house unexpectedly. Parents will typically find lodging in town or nearby, while students stay with a host student. Visitors are expected to participate in whatever activities happen at night, including study halls, so be sure to bring a book to read or homework. Lights out rules are also expected to be followed, as are restrictions for when you are allowed to leave the dorm at night and in the morning. If youre doing an overnight, you may wish to bring your own shower shoes, towel, and toiletries, in addition to a change of clothes for the next day. Ask if you need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow, too.à A common misconception about open house events is that attending means youre absolutely going to apply. Usually, its quite the opposite. These massive gatherings of prospective families are designed to introduce you to the school and help you decide if you truly want to learn more and complete the application process.

This event, combined with a declining career, was the onset of a deep depression for Rivers, as well as the beginnings of bulimia. Rivers states how a devastating loss affects hunger in two ways - erasing it or launch it to new heights. "For me the suicide inspired a gastronomic space program." she claims (Rivers, 1997, p.98). She describes the beginnings of a binge - overeating rich foods until she felt bloated and her clothes became too small - at which point she reached the solution of self-induced vomiting. Occasional purges soon evolved into weekly then twice a day rituals. Rivers timed her purges to happen roughly a half hour after a meal; she realized she must admit the problem to her therapist when she pulled over to vomit in a rest area bathroom. When she finally admitted her bulimia to her therapist Dr. Michael Greenstein, his observation reflects the general state of her life: out of control. Because of this, one of the few things she has been able to control is her bodily intake and output, which has manifested itself in the form of bulimia. Eating disorders are actually psychological disorders and can frequently be triggered by traumatizing events. The proper name of bulimia is Bulimia Nervosa (BN), which translates as "ox hunger", and refers specifically to a binge and purge cycle happening at least twice a week for at least six months. Purging methods include self-induced vomiting, or the abuse of laxatives, diuretics or enemas. Bulimics may also resort to fasting or exhibit obsessive compulsions to exercise. Sufferers often share similar personality traits: they tend towards perfectionism, while retaining a sense of low self-esteem despite their accomplishments. Depression is a frequent contributor to the disorder's development as well. Unfortunately, since the psychology of bulimia is often related to larger emotional issues, both the condition and the original problems complement and augment each other, resulting in a worsening of all symptoms (Eating Disorders, 2005). There are several Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment (CB) methods for BN: such as various behavior, psychodynamic, family, or experiential therapies, or a Twelve-Step program using the disorder as an addiction. CBT is a process by which the patient comes to recognizes the true psychological issues, learn more constructive coping mechanisms in relation to these, and then modify their behavior to return to more acceptable eating patterns while preventing relapses. Anti-depressants frequently help, as they curb the appetite while inhibiting the root depression; different anti-depressants seem to work equally well (Wilson and Pike, 2001). With Dr. Greenstein, Joan Rivers learned to identify her grief of her husband's suicide and was able to return to host a daytime talk show through the years 1989-1993 (Wikkipedia, 2006), the ending of which coincided with the death of her therapist and her returning to live in New York. Her depression was growing worse. The combination of her husband's los s, her talk show ending, a brief Broadway show collapsing and the failure of her jewelry venture VWVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702796936020603557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751189559484656107.post-5711049402379010262019-11-19T14:53:00.001-08:002019-11-19T14:53:02.622-08:00The Current State of the Caribbean Is Better Explained Through EssayThe Current State of the Caribbean Is Better Explained Through Reference to Contemporary Rather Then Past Global Relations - Essay Example This report stresses that the very conspicuous feminist changes within the Caribbean would be noted in the visibility of Caribbean women in different occupational positions which were once reserved only for European people and the challenges to a transforming relationship between gender and global capitalism are also highlighted This paper makes a conclusion that globalization and its impact on the Caribbean thus seem to depend on several factors such as improved education that can highlight the particularities and specialties of the Caribbean region and bring out the features that would attract the world. Tourism would be a major reason for which businesses and industries would be willing to invest in the Caribbean and the region remains as an attractive tourist destination, making it a full blown participant in the global economy and the process of globalization. The importance of equal gender relations and the significance of comparative education have been discussed considering that womenââ¬â¢s position in society and especially within the Caribbean society in this context could be very important in bringing out the changes in global relations. Caribbean society is changing with the changes of global economy and womenââ¬â¢s relations may actually define how the Caribbean society projects itself to the world. The importance of education also should not be undermined as only a modern form of education within the Caribbean would help it to relate to a globalized changing and interlinked society.

Susan Sontagââ¬â¢s treatise on the works of Riefenstahl, Fascinating Fascism, breaks down the latterââ¬â¢s appreciation and fascination of the strong and beautiful Nuba figure as examples of Nazi ideology corresponding to the idea of aesthetics for fascists. Sontag writes, ââ¬Å"Riefenstahlââ¬â¢s portrait of them evokes some of the larger themes of Nazi ideology: the contrast between the clean and the impure, the incorruptible and the defiled, the physical and the mental, the joyful and the critical (par. 27).â⬠This description is echoed in Mishimaââ¬â¢s Patriotism, when the lead character Takeyama decides to commit seppukuââ¬âritual suicide by disembowelmentââ¬âas an act of redemption from the dishonor incurred when his comrades formed alliances with the mutineers.à Mishimaââ¬â¢s imagery of Takeyama and his wife Reikoââ¬â¢s preparations for the ritual, as well as the metaphors he uses in describing the coupleââ¬â¢s physical forms conveys a fascination for perfection and beauty a la Riefenstahlââ¬âremarkable symbols of fascist iconography, as Sontag would consider. In its own effect, Takeyama, Reiko and the Nuba become examples of the ââ¬Å"master raceâ⬠, where everyone is beautiful, strong, and does not age (Trimborn McCown 256). Mishima and Riefenstahlââ¬â¢s works are also parallel in such that their depictions of death are detailed, beautiful and almost enthralling.à à In Patriotism, death in is portrayed as a reward, a happy and celebrated ceremony that requires the utmost preparation. In the Nuba culture, death is a central event, along with fighting. In the Japanese culture, as evidenced by Mishimaââ¬â¢s paramount detail in describing Takeyamaââ¬â¢s death, death is a way for one to demonstrate his or her enduring loyalty and nationalism to the Imperial system. Death in both Mishima and Riefenstahlââ¬â¢s works surpass lifeââ¬â¢s merriest eventsââ¬âbirth, marriage, loveââ¬âat times besting even life itself. Mishima writes, ââ¬Å"All around, vastly and untidily, stretched the country for which he grieved. He was to give his life for it. But would that great country, which he was prepared to remonstrate to the extent of destroying himself take the slightest heed of his death? He did not know; and not matter (par. 63).â⬠Takeyamaââ¬â¢s examination of self not only mirrors the authors suggestions of his own death wish, it also echoes the sentiments of those under the spell of a fascist ideologyââ¬âtheir so-called patriotismââ¬âthat converts their idea of nationhood as something not only territorial, but equally and incredibly spiritual. The young lieutenant and his bride chose their own death by seppuku, which may be seen as either an honorable and extremely devout approach, or as a self-destructive and deadly consequence of their fanaticism. Mishima unintentionally diverts the readerââ¬â¢s attention from this concept with his alluring illustrations of fascist ideals and concepts, again reminiscent of Riefenstahlââ¬â¢s imagery in her Nazi films. Sontag would consider it an absolute expression of fascist art, in the sense that it ââ¬Å"glorifies surrender, exalts mindlessness, and glamorizes death (par. 36).â⬠Above everything, Mishima verifies in his work and own life the burden that comes with the duty to abide by cultural traditionââ¬âduty can be all in one beautiful or ugly, life or death.

In the twenty-first century the creation of the positronic brain leads to the development of robot labourers and revolutionises life on Earth. However, to the Martin family, their household robot NDR-113 is more than a tool, it is a trusted friend, a confidant, and a member of the family. Through some unknown manufacturing glitch, NDR-113 or known as Andrew has been blessed, with a capacity for love and a drive toward self-awareness and development that are almost...human. This story is set on an Earth, which is just starting to get used to the idea of robots. Even so, it is an earth that was not ready for Robot NDR-113. Andrew, with his ability to assimilate emotions, and an unexpected gift for fine arts, both astounded and worried people. In an attempt to become human, he develops several prosthetic devices, which prove a godsend to humans. Almost, however, is not enough. Andrew's dream is to become accepted as human. Facing human prejudice, the laws of robotics, and his own mechanical limitations, Andrew used science and law in his quest for the impossible, arriving at last at a terrifying choice: to make his dream a reality, he must pay the ultimate price. I must say that I didn't have very high expectations for this book because I am not a very big science fiction fan, but this book changed my mind. There are many reasons why this particular book changed my view on science fiction. One of the major reasons for my enjoyment of this book is the way in which it was written. Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg set this story up wonderfully. I personally liked the way the book is structured. The first chapter takes place at the end of the story so you start thinking about what is going to happen right from the start. Then, as you near then end of the story you return to where you began in the first chapter and finish the story with a thought provoking ending. Another major reason that I liked this particular story is because it touched on many ethical aspects, from different points of view. Such as, what it means to be human, how humans in general would be perceived by an intelligence that has no knowledge about the way we as humanââ¬â¢s reason or think. The authors also showed how humans will react when they find out that they can create a being with the ability to not just think in a logical pattern but also be creative and intelligent well beyond their own abilities.
