Sumatran Orangutan

The pongo abelii (Sumatran Orangutan) is classed as fundamentally imperiled under the IUCN red rundown. In 1994 the assessed number of Sumatran orangutan was 12,000. This number declined further in 2003 where the gauge demonstrated 7,300 and again in 2008, evaluating 6,500. This obviously is a gigantic decrease in the species populace at lost 5500 orangutans in a multi year time span. The Sumatran orangutan lives on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, and is ordinarily found in the marsh and bumpy tropical rainforests. Indonesia’s woods are compromised with lawful and illicit logging and deforestation. This is a tremendous issue, not exclusively to the orangutans yet in addition to other plant and creature life. This is a troublesome everyday environment for the orangutan, which are living in littler zones which are situated at the northern locale of the island. With this comprising of lesser timberland territories, this offers ease for the poachers and trackers. One of the more concerning issues of this human danger to orangutans is the unlawful pet exchange. The poacher should murder the mother of the youthful they are grabbing. This leaves the more youthful unprotected as they expect care to endure. The more youthful orangutan is viewed as a mainstream pet. This can likewise bring about further decrease in numbers as there are additionally being murdered along these lines less being not able to raise. The reproducing time of the orangutan is much more slow than that of some other primate. The more modest number of posterity being delivered can't meet the quickly diminishing orangutan populace. After some time this will form into a more regrettable state as the diminishing numbers exacerbate. I have decided to organize the pongo abelli (Sumatran orangutan). This is a direct result of the present preservation status named on this species. The recuperation of this species will be moderate. In spite of the fact that the dangers to the orangutan are like that of different species, they are unequipped for creating bigger numbers to adapt to the genuinely necessary bigger populace so as to exist and are increasingly equipped for getting wiped out.

How Can Introverts (And Anyone Else) Do Well on the MMI

The Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) was designed at McMaster University in Canada to better evaluate an applicant’s interpersonal skills and predict performance in medical school. Like all other interviewers, MMI interviewers are looking for problem solving, communications skills, and the ability to listen to and respond to another person. The benefit of the MMI (to you, the applicant) is that it reduces the possibility that a single interaction will reflect poorly on you. One bad interview could be due to nerves, the interviewer having a bad day, or other factors beyond your control. If you have 8-10 chances, it has more validity and reliability. Studies have indeed shown that students who were accepted based on the MMI also perform better on their medical licensing exams. With that information, it was adopted by other schools and is the sole method of interviewing at many allopathic and osteopathic schools in the U.S, as well as medical, veterinary, dental and pharmacy schools throughout the world. As with all new ideas, MMIs have a potential downside. A study from UC Davis published in 2012 showed that applicants with higher extroversion and agreeableness scores performed better on the MMI and were more likely to be accepted. Which begs the question: Does the MMI disadvantage introverts? And if so, will excluding introverts change the face of medicine for the worse? It’s important to remember that this study was done at one school and during one application cycle, and may have been influenced by a variety of factors. Until more research is available, there is no way to say for sure if introverts are being rejected in higher numbers than in the past. It’s also important to note that not all introverts were rejected, nor were all extroverts accepted (the trends were mainly seen at both ends of the introversion-extroversion scale). We all have a comfort zone on the extroversion-introversion spectrum, and can change where we are at any given moment, depending on the setting, the people we are around, and our mental preparation. So how does a person who leans to the introvert end of the scale do better on the MMI? If extroverts are better communicators in a brief interaction, how can introverts become stronger in this area? The key is to exercise your extroversion muscles. Extroverts tend to excel at quick thinking, networking, collaborating, and conveying their ideas quickly. They also tend to appear happy, and to enjoy interacting with people. Introverts also have some key advantages. Most sessions are done in a one-to-one setting rather than a panel style, which is in the introvert’s comfort zone. In fact, introverts often excel in one-on-one settings because of their strength in listening, empathizing, problem-solving, and thoughtful communication (as opposed to small talk). If you think about it, all these skills are keys in a strong doctor-patient relationship. The main risk is that an introvert could be rated lower than an extrovert if they take too much time to start talking, or don’t get a chance to showcase their natural listening and empathizing ability. The key for an introvert is to calm themselves down multiple times and in multiple scenarios, and to do that, you need to practice. Here are some tips for getting ready for the MMI. In the weeks leading up to your MMI: Pick your wardrobe like an extrovert. Since introverts are at risk of blending into the background, it helps to wear something professional, yet with a touch of personality. A colored shirt, blouse or tie can give you the aura of extroversion. It will give others the impression that you are self-assured, and might even add to your confidence. Practice your smile. Your goal is to come across as friendly, so if you tend toward the serious side of life (many great doctors do), set an alarm several times a day to remind you to smile. Ask your friends and family which smile looks best. If you do it enough, eventually it will feel more natural. Research even suggests that smiling can improve your mood, so try practicing when you are having a bad day. Be true to yourself. It’s also okay to show your calm, focused and more serious side. This is who you are, but just don’t let these qualities make you appear unfriendly. Practice conversations. Talk with friends in 5-8 minute blocks about various topics, then ask them for feedback. Did they think you were following a pre-rehearsed script, or did you appear natural and in the moment? If their answer was a script, practice talking about topics you have never really thought about (eg does television prepare children for adult life, and if so, how?). Force yourself to be creative in your topics. This will help you be ready for the MMI question you have never considered before. Project confidence about why you are a good â€Å"fit† for their school. This is important for any interview, but in the MMI you only have a few minutes to convey it, so you need to be focused on what is important. Think about the word â€Å"fit† and make sure your answer is specific (and hence different) for each school you interview at. Be very specific: I like the __ program at your medical school, because it will allow me to ___. Talk about how your academic goals and the school’s strengths are similar. Do not talk about how you love their city (everyone does) or why they are such a great school (they already know this). Avoid generalizations that do nothing to reinforce YOUR fit there. Avoid arrogance. Introverts are sometimes better at this than extroverts, who are at risk for appearing overly confident. However, introverts can often appear aloof, especially when they are concentrating on their thoughts. If an interviewer mistakes this concentration for arrogance, they are going to rank you low on their list. When you are thinking about an answer, give clues about what you are doing. Practice saying phrases such as, â€Å"That’s a complicated question,† â€Å"I need to think about that one,† â€Å"There are a lot of factors to consider here,† and, â€Å"My thoughts on this are†¦Ã¢â‚¬  then start thinking aloud. Which brings us to the next tip†¦ Show them you can think on your feet. This is easier for extroverts, but not impossible for an introvert who is more inclined to think things through. It just takes practice. Talk to yourself when studying for exams, deciding what to wear, or considering what you will fix for dinner. It’s a matter of turning something you do naturally in your head into a verbal process, and not being afraid to do it in front of others. Self-talk is actually a skill that comes naturally to introverts, and many introverts wonder for years if they are a little bit crazy because of it. Turn it outside and show your interviewer how your mind works. They will recognize it as the skill it really is. Show your problem-solving ability. Unlike extroverts, introverts don’t just say whatever pops into their head. When faced with a decision, they tend to think things through methodically and come up with a list of possible directions to take. This is comparable to the physician’s technique of creating a differential diagnosis, plan, and subsequent treatment options for a patient. Again, the key is to practice doing this out loud, especially in situations where you need to make a quick decision. If you can learn to do your problem-solving out loud and within a few minutes, you will score high points. Show that you can listen and consider various perspectives. This is also an introvert’s strength, so play it up. Pay attention to what the other person is asking. Be in the moment and show that you can engage in natural back and forth conversation. You may feel your nerves creeping up on you and suddenly forget all the great things you were going to talk about, but that’s ok! This is not about what you memorized, but rather, about what you hear. Show them you can listen and repeat their ideas back with a new perspective. Don’t sound like a â€Å"know it all.† Introverts sometimes appear arrogant because they are so excited to share their knowledge with others. They fail to notice how they come across. They may also be more afraid of looking stupid or not knowing an answer, so they ramble on about topics even if they don’t understand them. The key is to appear curious and ready to learn. Medical schools do not expect you to know a lot thus far, so if you don’t know an answer, say so in a way that is not apologetic or defensive. Instead, use this as an opportunity to show your eagerness to learn more about the topic. Be honest and express your lack of experience. Ask some clarifying questions, and be sure to say how you would go about learning more. Your spirit of investigation is more important than your knowledge. Every physician must look things up sometimes, so show that you are willing and able to find an answer. On the Day of the MMI: How do you stay calm when you feel like everything is riding on this moment? Take a page from the work of David Burns, author of the bestseller, â€Å"Feeling Good.† Burns talks about the cognitive distortions that tend to make us more anxious. One of the biggest is our tendency towards â€Å"all or none† thinking. We know we are engaging in â€Å"all or none† thinking when you use any of the following dichotomous terms: †¢ always/never †¢ success/failure †¢ everyone/no one †¢ everything/nothing. In addition, we are setting ourselves up for anxiety when we think in terms of absolutes, such as: †¢ perfect †¢ disastrous †¢ best †¢ worst †¢ only All of these words lead us to â€Å"catastrophize† events that otherwise could be seen as the normal ups and downs of life. If we can learn to ditch these absolutes in favor of more tolerable possibilities, such as good enough, passable, decent, acceptable, average, not too bad, our anxiety will not feel as extreme. The basis for this comes from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) school, which tells us that our emotions follow our thinking. Let’s pretend for a moment that you think to yourself, â€Å"All my dreams are riding on this moment. If I don’t get in to this med school, I will never be a doctor. This is the only school I want to go to.† Now, these thoughts may or may not be true, however it helps to remind yourself that any statement with absolute words in them is unlikely to be true. The real problem is, IF you believe these statements are true, you will feel the pressure, and your emotional level will be higher than is helpful. On the other hand, if you can teach yourself to think, â€Å"I have plenty of chances to do well today. Many of the schools I applied to are a good fit for me. If I don’t get in this year, I can apply again and be stronger for this experience,† you are less likely to feel such intense anxiety. Again, these thoughts may or may not be true, although they do not have absolute words, so they are more inclusive and more possible. The key is, IF you can make yourself temporarily believe them, you will naturally be in a calmer, and more receptive place for an interview. This will allow you the focus you need to show the introvert strengths that come naturally to you, and the extrovert strengths that you have practiced. And finally, if you remember only one thing from this article, this is it: smile at every person you meet on interview day. Smiling can move a person’s impression of you from the lower end of the introversion-extroversion scale into the middle range. This range is where plenty of part-time introverts are accepted into medical school. Smiling makes you look happy, which leads the school to believe you like their program (and who doesn’t want to be liked?). Smiling also makes people feel more relaxed around you, and chances are that a relaxed interviewer will rate you higher than a tense interviewer. And lastly, smiling helps you feel calmer and more focused, which in turn allows you to share your natural introvert strengths. The fact is, medicine needs introverts, but it needs introverts who can step outside their own emotions and make others feel relaxed. It needs introverts who have the ability to share their thoughts with others. It needs introverts who are able to mo ve up and down the extroversion scale when needed. So be yourself, but practice these extraversion tools for good measure. After the MMI: One of an introvert’s strength is writing, so sending a thank you is an easy way to showcase your ability. If a school specifically requests not to send one, it is wise to respect their request. Otherwise, a single thank you to the admissions director is usually your best bet. It should show your genuine gratitude for how they made you feel on interview day. If an interviewer or staff member went out of their way for you, and it feels right to thank them individually, go ahead and do so. But in most cases, a single thank you to the director is enough. Your note can include the names of anyone who was especially helpful, although I don’t recommend you send emails to everyone on the MMI who spoke to you, or list 20 names in your note. The best way to feel confident going into your interview is to be absolutely sure you’ve taken the right steps to prepare.  A mock interview and feedback  from an Accepted admissions expert will  provide you with  personalized guidance and feedback and  help you put your best foot forward on interview day.  Contact us to get started! ; Dr. Suzi Schweikert has served on the UCSD School of Medicine’s admissions committee, and has mentored students in healthcare programs for over 20 years.

Competitive Strategy Marketing Capabilities

Question: Discuss about theCompetitive Strategyfor Marketing Capabilities. Answer: Introduction Competitive strategy refers the long-term plan of the organisations, which will be helpful to achieve the competitive advantage over the competitors within the same industry. With the help of this competitive strategy, an organization will be able to hold a defensive position within the organisation as well as can generate a greater return on investment. There are three major components of competitive strategy such as adaptation, aggregation and arbitrage. According to Jayawardhana and Weerawardena (2014), it can be mentioned that adaptation is an organisational behavioural traits, which has reflected the core competence of the organisation. With the help of adaptation strategy, an organisation can increase their revenue earning as well as their market share. On the other hand, an aggregation strategy is benefitted to achieve the economies of scale by increasing the efficiency of the business. Lastly, arbitrage is helpful to exploit economic differences in the market. It is known that Ghemawat AAA framework consists three generic approaches to create the global value. In this context, this study has made a comparison between the pharmaceutical industry and tourism industry of Australia. Moreover, the pharmaceutical organisations are such as Abbott Australasia Pty Ltd and Alcon laboratories Pty Ltd whereas the food and beverage organisations are such as Intrepid Travel and Tourism Travel. Discussion According to Morgan and Strong (2015), Ghemawat emphasises that organisations can increase their performance based on these three dimensions. As a result, the companies will be able to make strategic choices. In the following this study has discussed how the above mentioned organisations used these three AAA frameworks. Figure 1: AAA framework (Source: Acquaah, Amoako-Gyampah and Jayaram 2016) Pharmaceutical industry of Australia: Abbott Australia Pty Ltd: Adaptation Strategy: As per the statement of Block et al. (2015), an organisation tries to adapt new technique or strategy, which can increase the revenue of the company. It is known that Abbott Pty Ltd has the specialisation in the operation of Abbott informatics, Abbott diabetes care, Abbott vascular. Now, in order to improve the revenue earning, Abbott Pty Ltd has adapted new and innovative technique, so that the company has provides the treatment of asthma. As a result, the organisation has purchased new medicines and required machines. Shimamoto (2016) mentioned that as the level of pollution has been increasing within the country, therefore, most of the people of this country have been suffering from asthma or lungs diseases. Hence, this new adaptation by this company has increased the profitability of the organisation. Aggregation Strategy: In the words of Mahfud et al. (2016), aggregation aimed to create the economies of scale of the organisation. The objective of the organisation is to expand their business into global market from the local market. Mr. Ghemawat stated that by expanding the business or with the concept of business aggregation, an organisation could exchange the approaches of the operations. In this context, Abbott Australia Pty Ltd has expanded its business in India. As a result, this pharmaceutical company of Australia has come to know the treatment process of this country. They can also apply this technique in Australia. Arbitrage Strategy: In order to increase the profitability statement, Abbott Australia Pty Ltd has focused to exploit differences among the regions. This organisation used to purchase the useful tools and medicines from the domestic market and then sale these products in the global market (Mitra 2016). With the help of CAGE model, it can be mentioned that the organisation has determined the price based on the countrys economy and on the standard of living of the people. Alcon Laboratories Pty Ltd: Adaptation Strategy: In the opinion of Wu (2015), adaptation strategy of Alcon Laboratories Pty Ltd has aimed to the cost of labour and capital. It is noted that the cost of labour of this organisation is comparatively lower. On the other hand, the workers associated with this organisation, received another advantages. If the employees or their family member suffers from any diseases, they would be able to get free treatment in this organisation. Therefore, Songbo et al. (2015) stated that these workers received remuneration in terms of kind rather than in terms of cash. Hence, it can be inferred that the revenue earning of Alcon has increased by adapting this innovative technique. Aggregation Strategy: In the words of Acquaah and Agyapong (2015), it can be mentioned that Alcon laboratories has followed semi globalisation technique, which will be benefitted from the from investment and also from the communication pattern of trade. On the other hand, this organisation has aimed to the cultural aggregation. In this context, Alcon laboratories seek to market new drugs in the market of EU. As a result, it can be inferred that the increment in the corporate branding of this company over the global product branding is a powerful aggregation strategy of Alcon laboratories. Arbitrage Strategy: Alcon laboratories Pty Ltd has focused to the cultural arbitrage. In the points of Santos et al. (2017), this pharmaceutical organisation tried to move their machineries, which are required to transfer the elements from one culture to the other culture. It is known that Australia is a multi cultural nation. With the help of the concept of cultural arbitraging, the techniques and organisational approaches of Alcon would be transferred. As a result, it can be mentioned that the organisation would get the competitive advantage in this case. Tourism Industry of Australia: Intrepid Travel: Adaptation Strategy: In order to increase the revenue earning by the organisation, this company has followed variation strategies. With the help of this strategy, the company has tried to adapt new policies. They have adapted fair price policy in their business. In this context, it can be mentioned that this tourism organisation does not discriminate the consumers based on their standard of living. They treat their clients equally. Therefore, no one feel deprived and the organisation charge affordable prices of the package of the tour. In this essence, Agyapong, Ellis and Domeher (2016) inferred that variation strategy such as the adaptation strategy is helpful to increase the revenue of the business. Aggregation Strategy: It is known that with the help of this strategy an organisation can increase the economies of scale. In case of expanding their business in the market of EU, the organisation has focused to consider the taste and preferences of the consumers. However, Gould and Power (2015) stated that before expand the business, the organisation needs to take the permission of the government of that country. In addition, it can be stated that Intrepid travel agency has the specialisation in the taste and quality of the foods. Therefore, this organisation has made collaboration with the Golden chippy restaurant of EU. This is a renowned restaurant of this country. In case of organising local tours within EU, Intrepid provides the food of this restaurant to the consumers as the foods of this restaurant is highly acceptable by the consumers. Therefore, the business in the global market would be successfully expanded. Arbitrage Strategy: As per the statement of Rashidirad, Soltani and Syed (2013), this organization has followed economic arbitrage strategy in their business. In this context, the organisation has recruited employees from the local market of EU. As a result, the unemployment rate of the country has reduced. The cost of these labours in the domestic is comparatively lower than hiring labours from the outside of the country. They charge higher salary as their remuneration. Therefore, the cost structure would be effectively reduced. Tourism Travel: Adaptation Srategy: Tourism travel agency of Australia has provided medicines to their clients during long tours. It can be observed that in case of long duration holiday trip, sometimes the visitors suffer from several diseases. Therefore, the management of this travelling agency has also provided the tourists free heath check up every after 5 days. In addition, the required medicines are also provided in free of cost to the service takers. As a result, Jayawardhana and Weerawardena (2014) opined that the satisfaction level of the tourists has been increased. They will like to travel with this travel agency further. Therefore, it can be mentioned that the performance of the organisation will also increase in the future. Aggregation Strategy: It is known that to survive in the competitive market of tourism, each of the organisations require to follow creative and innovative technique in order to achieve their own competitive advantage. In this respect, Morgan and Strong (2015) mentioned that tourism travel has the sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, the business strategy of this organisation is unique, which is only evaluated by a specific group of consumers and buyers. On the other hand, it can be added that during conducting the tours, the management of the organisation has allowed the visitors higher level of comfort. This has improved the sales of services of tourism travel. As a result, the positioning of the organisation would be improved. Arbitrage Strategy: According to Shimamoto (2016), this travel agency of Australia has followed administrative arbitrage. Ghemawat showed that this action was initially followed by Rupert Murdochs News organisation in the year of 1990. With the help of this strategy, tourism travel would be able to reduce the interest payments on the debts. This would in turn help to the finance section of the company. The finance section can deal against the profitability statement of the company. With this definite action, tourism travel would be capable to lowering down the tax liabilities at the rate of 10 per cent (Wu 2015). Therefore, in a synopsis, it can be mentioned that arbitrager strategy is helpful to highlight the disparity between the organisations within the regional or domestic market. This will in turn improve the corporate bargaining capacity with the suppliers. In addition, the supply chain of the organisation has decreased. Conclusion The major concern of this study is to describe the how an organisation would globalise with the help of AAA framework. In order to globalise in the foreign market, the organisations require to adapt different strategies. They also require to follow business innovations and variations to expand a business successfully. With the help of the adaptation strategy, an organisation can increase the revenue earnings. As a result, the market share of the organisation will also be improved. On the other hand, aggregation strategy is benefitted to increase the economies of scale of an organisation. Lastly, arbitrage strategy helps an organisation to create the global valuation by increasing the profitability of the differences of several supply chain of different parts of the regions.

Speech Codes Essay Research Paper SPEECH CODES free essay sample

Speech Codes Essay, Research Paper SPEECH CODES: AN ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS? Freedom of address is an issue that has been debated in America since the colonists foremost inhabited our state. The First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right of freedom of address to all Americans. Since so, people have spoken freely about authorities, faith, unfairness, and fundamentally anything else that they have wanted to. However, this freedom is non ever given. Evidence of this can be found on college campuses across the state. More and more colleges and universities are now implementing address codifications, ordinances that prohibit address or other behavior that is opprobrious, baleful, or take downing to certain groups because of their gender, race, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, or cultural background. This type of address is besides known as hatred address. A great contention has arisen over the enforcement of these codifications. We must now make up ones mind whether or non speech codifications are constitutional, and what is more of import for an academic environment, an ambiance in which 1 can talk freely about his or her beliefs, or one in which no 1 feels persecuted or insulted. We will write a custom essay sample on Speech Codes Essay Research Paper SPEECH CODES or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Advocates of address codifications believe that address codifications are great tools for helping the instruction procedure. They feel that address that is really violative to certain groups of people impedes upon the acquisition procedure by making hostile and uncomfortable schoolroom environments when pupils of opposing groups are brought together. They believe that instruction, the primary ground for go toing college, takes a back place to such issues. Therefore, they believe that this job could be solved by the enforcement of address codifications. Advocates of address codifications besides feel that the First Amendment does non really protect all types of address, viz. hate address. They argue that freedom of address was given in order to talk out against things such as corruptness and unfairness, non to give racialists and bigots the right to diss and ache people due to fortunes these people can non command. After all, the Constitution provinces that all work forces are created equal. Advocates argue that the allowance of such hatred address, utilizing the permission of the First Amendment however, is a perversion of this great announcement. Advocates besides feel that excessively much free address, including hatred address, is one of the top grounds for recent additions in hate offenses. Hate offenses are besides on the rise on college campuses across the state. For illustration, victims have had crosses burned in their paces, swastikas painted on their temples and residence halls, and have been physically attacked. Supporters believe that these offenses could be prevented, or at least reduced if hate address was non allowed. They feel that the allowance of hatred address merely serves to derive support for those who speak it, and that prohibition of hatred address is the key. Advocates of address codifications may hold thought that they were making the right thing, but they have been misled. Speech codes that are enforced by government-financed province colleges and universities are in clear misdemeanor of the Constitution because they are signifiers of authorities censoring. All address, no affair how violative it may be, is protected by the First Amendment. The right of free address is indivisible, which means that if the right is taken off from one, it is taken off from all. Furthermore, freedom of address is critical to the staying rights given in the First Amendment. Restricting address would besides curtail freedom of faith, freedom of the imperativeness, and so on. Furthermore, one must recognize that although hate address may be protected, hate offenses are non. In fact, the most effectual step to battle hate offenses may be speech itself. Another job with address codifications is that they are non clear plenty. Ill-defined boundaries and mistily worded prohibitions have created quite a batch of confusion for those seeking to understand the codifications. Many people are now pressing charges against anything and everything that the may happen violative. Charges have been brought up against people who have written amusing lampoons about cultural nutrients in campus magazines. Charges have besides been brought up against people who have made non-racist, derogative comments to other races. Charges such as these are normally dropped, but in some instances, people have really been fired from occupations or expelled from school. However, it would be about impossible to specify the boundaries of address codifications. In order for this to go on, person would hold to do himself the authorization, the jurisprudence. This clearly exhibits the fact that address codifications are non the reply. Speech codifications are designed to decide issues covering with many signifiers of racism and dogmatism. However, address codifications do non decide these issues ; they merely suppress them. Ignoring such jobs will non do them to travel off, as address is a consequence of what is indoors of a individual. One critic of address codifications stated, Verbal pureness is non societal alteration. Freedom of address besides allows pupils to be after antagonistic onslaughts on hatred address. Address can be fought with address, leting those who discriminate against others to see the issue from an alternate point of position and to perchance alter their ain position. Speech codifications would forestall this alteration from happening, doing them to get the better of their ain intent. Finally, address codifications on college campuses defeat one of the chief intents of college in general. The chief intent of most colleges is to help larning through unfastened argument and free enquiry and to edify pupils. Speech codes straight curtail this signifier of larning. Small can be learned in a schoolroom in which the pupils are afraid to voice their sentiments. All positions and sentiments should be entitled to be heard so that others may research them and make up ones mind for themselves what they believe. Students may non ever agree or change their heads on certain topics, but hopefully they will be able to see the issue from a new angle alternatively of a nonreversible, closed-minded point of position. Sing the universe from another s point of position could so be the key to happening peace with each other. After one has examined both sides of the issue of address codifications, it should be clear that address codifications are incorrect and are really tangential to society. Hatred, racism, and dogmatism provender on environments where jobs are suppressed and ignored. No 1 should of all time be content with ignorance toward these issues. Many people choose to turn their dorsums on contending address codifications because they feel that it is merely a little conflict and that there are more of import things to worry approximately. What people fail to recognize is that we give some of our power to the authorities with each little conflict that we lose. Forty old ages ago, totalitarian authoritiess, much like that in George Orwell s 1984, were thought to be an absolute impossibleness. Today, nevertheless, when we look at issues such speech codifications, we can see that eventual entire authorities control is a distinguishable possibility. Therefore, it should be our responsibility as Ameri cans, populating in a society built on democracy, to contend to maintain the rights that our sires one time fought to derive for us. So, we must make up ones mind where we should get down. Possibly we should get down by speaking about it.

Real Time Kinematic GPS (RTK GPS) Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2250 words

Real Time Kinematic GPS (RTK GPS) - Essay Example Both of the receivers have their coordinates; the coordinates of the first reference receiver can be determined in a geocentric frame while the second’s in relation to the first receiver. The combined data of the two receivers is used by the mobile control device algorithms to work out the uncertainty of integers in order to calculate accurate positioning information. Wubbena, et al. (1996) informs that the precision and consistency of RTK solution reduces with adding distance from the reference station. Virtual Reference Station or VRS is a concept that is interrelated to RTK. The figure about the conceptualization of VRS indicates the reference stations of GPS, which work at a distance of seventy kilometres. There is a communication network established between the reference stations through which, data is transferred from one station to other. According to Higgins (2001), the data that is received on the central computer from reference stations results in the modelling of spatial errors due to which, the working of GPS is restricted. As far as users are concerned, they think that it is because of the roving receivers that transfer a mobile call to the central computer due to which, the position of GPS is approximated and corrections are demanded. After this processing, the central computer is able to make corrections on the basis of the coordinates of roving receiver and reference receiver. In order to get more precise results and to make the value of dimensions much authentic and for the lessening of the problems due to which, restrictions are there in terms of survey of RTK, much improved impression of VRS survey is created. According to Cislowski and Higgins (2006), the VRS RTK technique is able to augment the productivity to nearly thirty to fifty percent. In addition, the time needed for procedures and people required for the jobs according to a human resource

Can a judge order a convicted drunk driver to attend weekly Alcoholics Essay

Can a judge order a convicted drunk driver to attend weekly Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings over the course of one year as a condition of probation for drunk driving - Essay Example In case the defendant violates probation, a one month jail term is imposed depending on the original sentencing. However, the state implemented the law of AA as an effective amendment for providing spiritual revelation to the drunk drivers. AA offers the defendant spiritual education programs in order to help the drunk driver to stop drinking (Smith 299). Drunk drivers are given AA as an alternative for going to jail and this takes place after carrying out alcohol screening test. The court does not put the offender directly to AA, but they are sent to the probation officer or a counselor first. The counselor will carry out screening test in order to determine the drinking pattern of the offender. The results will enable the officer to determine the drinking level and then make a decision of sending the offender to the Alcoholic Anonymous. This alternative probation to jail was seen effective because it reduces the costs of maintaining the offenders in jail. The government may violate the freedom of religion, equal protection and due process by holding the court hearings in a church as seen under the First Amendment. Under the First Amendment rights, the church was given freedom and the constitution protects the rights of the church (Smith 301). The church was separated from the state and given the freedom to exercise their rights. Holding court hearing in a church is deemed as the violation of freedom of religion and speech. This is because the First Amendment clause aimed at separating the church from the state. The central government does not have the authority to engage in church matters.

Of Mice and Men And American Depression Beginning Essay Example for Free

Of Mice and Men And American Depression Beginning Essay In 1930, the American Depression began. It was to become a feature that would affect many peoples lives. Men such as George and Lennie had no literacy skills; therefore their job span was increasingly limited. George and Lennie were unique in the way that they went around the country working on the ranches together. John Steinbeck used George and Lennies companionship in these times of hardship to reflect optimism and hope. Steinbecks knowledge is mirrored in a vast amount of this book in the way that he produces scenes for the characters to encounter and try to solve. America turned on its people in the Depression, forcing even the severely disabled to work for they had no other options they would not survive if they did not have any capital. Workers used the ranchs resources to comfort themselves. Workers even came to the ranches on a Saturday afternoon, so they could have all their meals on the day of rest and then depart without doing any intense labour. The book illustrates this fact with the quote. Guy that wants to look over a ranch comes in Satday afternoon. He gets Satday night supper an three meals on Sunday, and he quit Monday mornin after breakfast without turning his hand. This quote emphasises the ranch workers dependence upon the ranches and in a way lets us into the typical ranch workers pattern of thoughts, therefore this reiterates how the migrant culture worked. Throughout the book, George and Lennie have a pipe dream; this dream has been a goal, a goal to keep them from spiralling into depression. The dream is to be able to afford their own piece of land and live in peace and harmony, however the dream interprets two opposite trains of thought. For Lennie it means that he can look after the rabbits, therefore it creates a childish reality. For George he craves independence to make his individual character content, however George knows that this is a dream, he is not thinking about what will most likely happen. This was the case for many American ranch workers; they fulfilled these dreams by reading magazines with stories such as The Dark Rider. For example He went to his bunk and put his head on his shelf. Then he picked a pulp magazine from his shelf and brought it to the light over the table. This emphasises the American Dream and this is why this of magazine was so popular, it produces a play in text about a fantasy ranch worker, who travels majestically about the country on his ebony stallion. For the ranch workers they envisage that it will be them upon the stallion doing deeds to save the country, this reflects the migrant cultures point of convergence with their dreams and how it kept their hopes up high during these times of hardship. Steinbeck selects George and Lennie out of the vast migrant culture, for their unique circumstances and their overpowering friendship. For example: Lennie broke in. But not us! Because because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you and thats why. This quote depicts their fondness for one another and how important friendship was. The task for Steinbeck was to create an array of characters who had different characters and attitudes at this time, yet they formed a team who had to work together and cope with each others habits. The migrant culture was a population of people from different backgrounds; therefore this point is dissected from the rest of the book very well At the beginning of the novel, we follow George and Lennie through the state of Soledad trying to seek work. To make matters worse the bus driver dropped them off more than four miles from their location. Jes a little stretch down the highway, he says. Jes a little stretch. God damn near four miles. George is obviously angry about the bus drivers heartlessness towards these two men, however men like George and Lennie were easy targets, as the man knew he would never see them again and they were lower class civilians, therefore people showed no respect towards them. Travelling these long distances in such isolated conditions was a daunting task and there must have been some murders and fatalities in such solitary conditions. The migrant culture brought the aspect of danger into many peoples lives. On arrival. George and Lennie have to go to the boss office to submit their name and various details. It is vital that they both have a reputation for being hard workers at this early stage or they could be asked to leave. The bosss suspicions are aroused by Lennies lack of communication and he immediately asks questions such as: He aint much of a talker, is he? and , I said what stake you got in this guy? You takin his pay away from him? These questions show that the migrant culture was untrustworthy and nobody could be trusted. In the migrant culture the vast majority of ranch workers decreased every mans chances of being noticed and looked after, therefore if the worker was not working up to the average standard they would simply be told to leave. It was a dog eats dog world and the other ranch workers were certainly not sympathetic to your feelings. For example: You was pokin your big ears into our business, George said. I don t like nobody to get nosey. Ranch workers had to have a depth of insensitivity and be oblivious to acrimonious comments. Loneliness featured in the novel was the result of bitterness. There were three main characters that represented loneliness in the novel. Crooks was a black man who looked after the stables. During the American Depression, black people were shown little respect and the white people regarded them as slaves making hurtful comments and forcing them into isolation for the insignificant reason of their colour. To add to Crooks misery, he had a severely bowed back, this limited his work span and his isolation became greater. Crooks was bitter towards all white people for the way they had mentally scared him and for this reason he showed no feelings towards them either. Crooks was even a solitary figure at night, for he was not even allowed into the bunkhouse let alone to sleep in there. Crooks confided in books to make up for his social loss, however he could only seek refuge in a book to a certain degree and soon he fell into the bottomless pit of seclusion once more. Crooks was even foul to his equals such as Lennie. Crooks said sharply: You got no right to come in my room. This heres my room. Nobody got any right in here but me. This quote reflects Crooks bitterness and shows that his isolated life has made him selfish. The America Depression and the migrant culture turned on black people and treated them as dirt. Crooks feels this harsh mannerism and understandingly turns against it, which makes him uncivil too. Curleys wife is another lonesome character, who seeks solace with the workers on the ranch. Her isolation is increased by the fact that she is the only woman on the ranch and the only unemployed person as well, therefore she has far too much time on her hands. Her hasty marriage was a way to conquer loneliness; however it has only stretched her detachment from the world. Other lonesome characters such as Candy and George will not mix with her, as they see her as a troublesome threat. The only person on the ranch who listens to Curleys wife is Lennie, however the relationship is not true, for Lennies mental problems make it infeasible for him to join in any conversation. Lennies power is what makes Curleys wife attracted to him, for Lennie crushed Curleys hand during a fight. Most women would be furious with the man who had injured her husband, but Curleys wife laughs saying to Lennie. Ok, Machine. Ill talk to you later. I like machines. This implicates how she hates her husband and reveals that she only married him for security. Curleys wife knows that Lennie is mentally inadequate, therefore she feels as if she has power over him and of course it is unlikely that she has ever experienced this feeling before. The migrant culture has had a great effect on Curleys wife life. The men who once had time for her, now have to work to survive, therefore they have no time for her inane chatter. George is another solitary character on the ranch. This may sound inaccurate, but as we have discovered Lennie is mentally disabled and cannot participate in sort of conversation. George may be able to have a social life at the ranches, however he will only stay at a ranch for a small duration of time, so close friendships cannot be made. The migrant culture had an immense impact on ranch workers social lives and soon they would have become social outcasts. In chapter three, Lennie brings the subject of the dream into conversation, while sitting down with George one night. George informs him of a reasonably priced farm he has discovered. Candy joined in the conversation still traumatised by his elderly dogs sudden death asking the details of this house. George is reluctant to tell him for the reason that it has been George and Lennies dream from when they started roaming the countryside for work and it would seem immoral for them to invite someone they did not know into it at this stage. Candy is not struck back by these comments and informs them that he has $450 saved up in the bank. George half-closed his eyes. I gotta think about that. We was always gonna do it by ourselves. George portrays a reluctant character who is unwilling to co-operate, yet inside he is probably celebrating the making of his dream. The sudden scope of this dream that has been released is truly magnificent. George and Lennie have conquered every migrant workers pessimistic prospect, to make their dream realistic George is overcome by this unexpected event that he knows will change his life for the rest of his days. In the book he frees his humble and timid character to replace it with an electrifying and bold person who we have not seen before. Quotes to reflect this outburst are: George said reverently: Jesus Christ! I bet we could swing her. His eyes full of wonder. I bet we could swing her, he repeated softly and George stood up. Well do her, he said. Well fix up that little old place an well go live there. George is ecstatic he has finally found a way to make his naturally independent character content and he will be able to make his own money by being the boss, the man he has respected for so long. At last Lennie will be safe from the temptations of the world that he simply cannot handle. George and Lennie have found hope in these mentally painful times, which scarred so many men for life. This scene interprets the fortunes of the human life and after many downfalls they have come to a conclusion, that many migrant workers never found. In novels after optimism comes despondency. The ending of this book is tragic. Lennie, who has become easily influenced by Curleys wife flirtatious movements becomes too attached to her and when asked to feel her hair he becomes over exuberant and in sheer panic clings on to the delicate framework of this woman, Curleys wife slumps to the ground like a ragdoll taking the effect of this mans awesome power with a broken neck to prove the damage, which can not be reversed. The tragedy led to Lennies disappearance and the ranch workers pursue him , however George knew where he was from an earlier plan and went to find him. The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, and he lay without quivering. A emotional scene for two people we thought were so fond of each other, however George knew that Curley and fellow friends were going to kill him and in the most brutal manner possible to mankind, which would have been distressing for the two companions. George thought it would have been appropriate for Lennies last living moments to be filled with the memory that they loved the most, the dream. The dream would not be fulfilled after Lennies crime and death; therefore he would be of a majority once again working to make his dream reality and this is why so many migrants ended becoming severely depressed and killing themselves as a result of their bitterness and hurt. John Steinbeck creates a novel, which depicts a compelling yet brusque meaning. Steinbeck brings out the truth of these times and does not try to shroud it and keep it away from the human eye, for nothing can hide the truth. Since George came to this ranch in Soledad, we have been through his pain with him and happiness, however we have always had the dream in the back of our minds. Grasping the fact that the dream will never occur has added a touch of realism to this book and made us realise that this is not a imaginary story, instead it is the hard hitting truth. The novel has made it obvious that the typical migrant workers life was a continuous circle, which never changes its shape and that it would be the same for George from now on. Hopes and Dreams have been the backbone for this story. Many of the characters have mentioned a dream and at that point their tone of voice changed. For example: She looked up at Lennie, and she made a small grand gesture with her arm and hand to show that she could act. The fingers trailed after her leading wrist and her little finger stuck out grandly from the rest. This quote shows how Curleys wife sparkles on the inside, when she talks about her illusive acting career. Dreams meant so much more to people during the American Depression as they do to our generation due to the great span of activities we can do today compared to the limited amount in the 1930s.A number of peoples dreams can be accomplished today for we have the technology. Hopes and Dreams became the great factor in George and Lennies relationship, for it gave them something to talk about that they both understood and talking is the key to a good friendship. Lonesome migrant workers did not have a friend to confide instead they constantly thought about the long working hours and their isolation. A dream kept them focused and acted as an aid to comfort them. George has now become one of these lonely souls, who we envisage trekking along dusty roads with a face tangled by his own grief. It would not have been right if Lennie, George and Candy went to the idyllic farmhouse and lived happily ever, as that would have not been reflecting the outcome of so many migrant workers lives and Steinbeck would have been interpreting a false hope to the reader. Characters in the novel such as Candy and Crooks fell into the invalid category, where they were envisaged as being outsiders who looked up to normal people on the ranch. Crooks was a black man and at the time of the Depression, black people were looked upon as dirt and only being able to do jobs that would not involve them with any human contact, therefore he was very much isolated from the world and felt bitter and resentful towards any human who tried to bond with him. An example of Crooks bitterness: Crooks said sharply: You got no right to come in my room. This heres my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.

Discuss the ways in which Poets make use of form and language to :: English Literature

Discuss the ways in which Poets make use of form and language to present their views on love and marriage. In this essay I will be comparing ‘A Woman to her lover’ by Christina Walsh, and ‘Remember’ by Christina Rossetti. These two poems were written in the patriarchal pre twentieth century. I will also be talking about ‘My last Duchess’ by Robert Browning, and ‘How do I love thee?’ by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. These four poets have different views on marriage and love, they differ in the tone of language they speak in, and what they speak about. The poem ‘ A Woman To Her Lover’ By Christina Walsh is a bold poem; Walsh gets straight to making her points on love and marriage. She wants to be her husband’s friend and partner not his slave ‘That I shall be your comrade, friend and mate’. She starts her first stanza with three rhetorical questions, ‘Do you come to me to bend to your will’ ‘To make me of your bond slave’ ‘To bear you children, wearing out my life’. She seems as if she is having an argument, as she ends the first and second stanza with exclamation marks. She also uses Imagery ‘Do you want to vanquish me?’ it is like a battle is taking place. Walsh repeats ‘ I refuse you’ twice. In a way it seems like Christina Walsh is being a little stubborn, or maybe she is trying to get the point through that, she wants her marriage to be an equal one, not were there is a dominant male does the ordering about, and a little meek female who does what the male says. The poem ‘Remember’ By Christina Rossetti is a petrarchan sonnet, with iambic pentameter. The tone is peaceful and there is a lot of use of metaphors, for example ‘... far into the silent land’. Rossetti uses personal pronouns a lot in this particular poem, she uses the words ‘me’ and ‘you’ a lot in the poem, she doesn’t not use the word ‘dead’ but uses ‘silent land instead because she doesn’t want her husband to feel miserable when she is gone. She also uses imagery to describe their relationship. Rossetti repeats the word ‘Remember’ a great deal in the poem. She is saying to her husband that she doesn’t want him to feel sad when he remembers her when she dies, but she doesn’t want him to forget her either, but if it causes him pain when he remembers her then, she would rather he forget her. Both Rossetti and Walsh are talking to their husbands in their poems Discuss the ways in which Poets make use of form and language to :: English Literature Discuss the ways in which Poets make use of form and language to present their views on love and marriage.

She is saying to her husband that she doesn’t want him to feel sad when he remembers her when she dies, but she doesn’t want him to forget her either, but if it causes him pain when he remembers her then, she would rather he forget her. Both Rossetti and Walsh are talking to their husbands in their poems

Music is not just a sound

Music is not just a sound that we hear but it is also a language used by many people. In early times, music is divided into historical periods. Nowadays, music is considered as an effective way of communication. We can say that music serves as an instrument of expression for artist and also for people who loves music. In that sense, people relate their selves into music as an outlet for them to release their feelings or more so for them to acknowledge whatever feeling they have inside.â€Å"Music as a popular communication and entertainment art is a critical aspect of a culture (Jenkins. 2001).† Music has become one of the most popular topics to talk about not just in any TV show, radio show or even in the internet but also in any conversation among people. To this day, music is considered as an effective way of communication because it caters to different genre.Through this genre caters to different generation of the society. In its context, music is emotional because it expr esses the very feeing of the artist. Some music today is too loud but when we carefully listen and understand the very meaning of its lyrics, we will realize that it has a sense and a feeling too that one can relate.It is also an effective communication because it relates the very meaning of it to the people who listen to it. Through the lyrics, people connect themselves to the music and that’s how communication begins. Nowadays, music is used for therapeutic and healing purposes.It creates a language that helps people to understand through its melody and rhythm. From time to time, we have witnessed how music changes for different generation to generation and how it effectively used as a communication tool in different areas of life. Music is widely used on different areas such as in politics, education, and religion and to different people as well.In politics, music is effectively used as a communication tool to convince people to support a candidate. In education, music is used as a subject or simply as entertainment. In religion, music is used to communicating with the Lord and for praising. For mothers, music is used as a language for their babies and for young adults; music is the very heart and soul of their being. Indeed, music is widely use as an effective tool of communication. Truly, many of us is affected by music because  we as individual elate our self to it. Through music we get inspirations as well as learning that provide us the ability to discover our self and to also release whatever feeling we have inside.Music is indeed emotional because musician relates it to their own self. People as well relate it to themselves that it why we can say that music is an effective communication tool. â€Å"Music has been defined so much that it is really not clear anymore what it is or what can be called music (Kosk).†   Nonetheless, music has provided us different types for different people and culture. We hear music and feel it and there is an invisible line that connects us to music and keeps our spirit alive every time we hear our favorite music.   The ever changing of music from time to time makes it more exciting for music lovers to utilize their own self and relinquish such melody that comes form their heart and soul.While music is important, communication as well is very important. The two link together because music is communication and communication is music as well. We may view it differently but the question on how music is an effective communication tool because it is emotional is simply because it conveys messages and influences people in one way or another. Certainly, music entertains us and provides us the same aspirations in life. We as individual relate our self to music because we are also as emotional as the music.It is clearly present in our society today of how effective communication is as a tool. All over the world, music is also considered as a language of heart and soul to people. Through i ts effect and influence it makes, music is a language that effectively communicates to different people and culture. It is a tool that expresses one’s thought and dreams, a communication tool that provides harmony and rhythm and effectively relates its very meaning to people who listens to it. Definitely, music is part of our daily lives and as important as communication, both provides us the ability to be inspired and developed as an individual through its meaning and intention. Music is effective as a communication tool because it is simply emotional on its own and more so it is a line that speaks for its true sense and that communicates to every human being.Works CitedStewart, Cameron. â€Å"Music Theory For Effective Communication.† StatsSheet.Com Reliable Stats,Tools, and Articles. 26 November 2007 â€Å"Music Therapy.† Answers.com. 26 November 2007 Jenkins, Orville Boyd. â€Å"Music as a Language Learning Medium.† 9 June 2001.

Naturalistic Observation Observing People - 999 Words

Naturalistic Observation – observing people in their natural setting. The advantages to his method are; realistic natural behaviours, low demand characteristics, can generate new ideas for research and test existing findings. However the disadvantages are; lack of control of variables, observer bias, limited to public places or certain types of behaviours, which may create ethical issues. Controlled Observation – allows researchers to observe in a natural setting, giving focus on what they want to study. However their intervention could disturb the setting. Participant Observation – The advantages are realism and natural behaviour, thus greater validity, new directions for research, and qualitative data. Conversely, there may be observer bias and effects, lack of quantitative data, difficulty in replicating or generalising, time consuming, and may raise ethical issues (Haralambos, et al., 2002). The systematic collection of data from large number of people, normally based on a sample of the population. This method can be fast, inexpensive and efficient, produces quantitative data and easy to replicate and generalise findings due to large sample. However there can be low response rates and demand characteristics. Structured or unstructured interviews are another method that can be used. There are some essential components of conducting research.
