Wedding Day Every little girl dreams about her wedding day. I was no different. An Indian marriage is performed with great funfair. All people whether rich or poor want it to be a memorable occasion. My wedding day was the most joyous day of my life. Since then, I have learned that such moments do not happen all the time. It is important to enjoy them. My wedding day was fulfilled with many emotional including happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement. My wedding has been the most blissful time of my life. However, it seemed to be a complete blur.It all happened very quickly from the moment I was engaged to the moment we walked around the sacred circle on my wedding day. The wedding was put together in only ten days. I spent those ten days with my fiance and my future in-laws getting to know each other. We spent time visiting temples and shopping in preparation for the wedding. We shopped matching wedding dress. Our wedding dress was red and white color. I also spent much of that time with my family and many relatives from out of the town. I met so many people.There were over 2000 people that attend our two day wedding ceremonies. Almost everyone from our families to our friends helped celebrate. On that day I was very nervous to go front of my fiance but inside of my heart, I was very happy. I was going to start my new life. Not only were many of dreams coming true, but also I was fulfilling my father’s hopes. He also wished that I settle in the United States for a better life. I will always remember the joy in my father’s eyes that day. While I was having the time of my life, a part of me was both sad and fearful.I was disappointed my older brother was unable to attend the biggest day of my life. He was living abroad and could not make the trip back because of immigration issues. I was also sad because I realized that I would need to leave for the US. I had always lived in our small village for my entire life. It meant that I was leaving my life behind. I had to leave my family, friends, and relatives. It was very difficult for me to pack up my life into two suitcases. I didn’t even know when I will come and see my family and friends again.I was also a bit scared to start my new life with my husband. I had only known him for a short time and his family members. With anything new, there is always fear of the unknown. Everything I knew was about to change. For example, new family members, new roles as wife, language, life-style and also new country. I even had to learn about the new culture. I didn’t cried much when I was leaving my family and friends on my wedding night than I cried when the final day came to going the airport and coming in the United States. I had cried a bunch when I left my country.On the other side, I was very excited about coming to the United States. It would be a beginning of new chapter of my life. Before coming into the United States, I had only seen how life would be on TV. I am very thankful to my parent. They are the one who think about my better future in the United States. I couldn’t wait to see all the amazing things United States is famous for like the statue of liberty, space center, and Disney world. I was very thrilled about meeting new people, making new friends, and trying new food. I was also anxious to start my married life. I wanted to be a perfect wife.I look forward to taking care of my husband and his family such as cooking, cleaning, and also help with some other works. I was very excited to meet his all friends and family friends. My wedding day was everything that had dreamed up. I went through many emotions such as happiness, sadness, and excitement. I have learned not to fear the unknown. Instead, I should embrace new opportunities. I continue to believe that things always come out for the best. I feel very bless for life. For my better life, I am thankful to my parent. In the end, it has been a most memorable and life changing event of my life.

Spring and Summer

I picked these two seasons, spring and summer because the both of these seasons are items I can compare and contrast, it seems much easier than the two items I picked before the two seasons, these seasons you can very well compare as in the similarities you can do with these two seasons and contrast as well as in the differences between these two seasons. I like both seasons because of what all you can do in these seasons. I go fishing a lot in spring and summer. Its two most popular seasons to go fishing, but you can also ice fish in the winter time. I know this because I like to fish a lot as a woman. Biking is another popular thing to do in the spring and summer. These seasons are very well in weather to pick to go picnicking and to have a lot of fun time with your family. The spring and summer time are the two seasons I most have fun in. The warm part of the spring time and summer, hot times, you can jet ski and have fun with your family or friends. These are the two seasons I love the most because they’re not cold. There are a lot of similarities you can do during the spring and summer time. There is more to do during these seasons, but there are differences between the two seasons. The differences between the two seasons are spring time is a warm time of the year and summer is a hot time of the year. You can’t swim in the spring like you can the summer time because the water is too cold in the spring time. You can ice fish though in the spring time, but not in the summer time, why? It’s still icy in the beginning of spring time and it’s too hot in the summer time. I love the summer time because you can swim most of the time and I like spring to, but not as much as summer because you can’t swim in the spring time. The water is still too cold, but it’s warm in the spring time to just not hot enough to swim all the time. In these two seasons there’re lots of differences, but I believe that there are a lot more similarities. When comparing two items you are showing how they are alike and contrasting you are showing how they’re different. When helping readers understand issues it’s useful to compare and contrast to get them to understand better. Making decisions, narrowing down choices, and evaluating options are also helpful in understanding. You may make a table of some kind or create a list to see what all the items picked have in common or don’t have in common, the differences. You don’t necessarily make the decision yourself or attempt to influence the reader one way or the other when in a comparison-and-contrast paper. Your paper will be a persuasive and a combination of expository writing if you do any of the above things. When I write a paper I like for my readers to enjoy what they are reading, so that they get into the story or paper. Now, we’ll go on to the two seasons that I picked for the reader to enjoy reading about the differences and similarities. Putting these two seasons together and comparing and contrasting them were very easy in some ways, but hard in other ways. I enjoyed comparing and contrasting these two seasons because the seasons are two seasons we all enjoy together especially my family and friends. Every year my family gets together and we have a big picnic in the summer time around the 4th of July and we have so much fun we never forget about the 4th of July. We get to have are fun, swimming, picnicking, and watching the fireworks at the end of the night. This time of year is the most fun for my family and me. In the spring time I get together with my boyfriend and some of his family members and we go fishing together every spring. Every spring is like a social gathering with the boyfriend’s parents and cousins, but we all have lots of fun fishing and then we go home and have our picnic outside. These are two seasons I will never forget because I do these things every year at the same time of year. In the winter and fall times it’s not as interesting for us because we aren’t kids no more, but I do have fun with my niece and nephew in the snow and leaves at that time of year, but even those two love the spring and summer time because we can go swimming and do lots of other fun things. Comparing and contrasting these two seasons was fun and interesting. It was easier than I thought to compare and contrast these two seasons. These two seasons are two of a kind and then two different ones to. I picked these two seasons, spring and summer because the both of these seasons are items I can compare and contrast, it seems much easier than the two items I picked before the two seasons, these seasons you can very well compare as in the similarities you can do with these two seasons and contrast as well as in the differences between these two seasons.

Muslim Women : the Veil Essay

OBJECTIVE To study the conditions of Muslim women in various regions and to draw the conclusions related to the topic. INTRODUCTION The veil should be considered as an oppression/suppression or it should be left upon the women to decide? Certainly, religious sentiments should never be undermined because in some or the other way it leads to humiliation which further provokes uncertainty among different groups of people. However, being a non-Muslim, it is somewhere inculcated in my mind that this practice is a landmark of patriarchal society or suppression of women, but through my research, I realized that it is not about my views but it is about those Muslim women and their opinion regarding this practice. A Muslim woman wears hijab (veil for the simple reason that God has commanded it in the Quran and Sunna. There are two verses which deal with the question of women’s dress. They are: Surah an-Nur verse 31 and Surah al- Ahzab verse 59 Mainly, many non-Muslims and few Muslims also, fail to examine and analyse this issue and openly condemn this practice. Modernization has lessened the gap between men and women but it fails to understand that though ‘Men and women are equal but not identical’. Many feminists’ approaches have been taken against the suppression of Muslim women. They argue that Islam like any patriarchal religion, subordinates women. They are committed to women’s rights and believe that Islam doesn’t allow women liberation. If we look at the scenario from broader view, we will find that there is a wide gap between anthropological perspective and the modern perspective. Quran is the command of God and must be followed in all times. In many countries, face covering is abandoned, such as France and in other countries; it is left upon Muslim women to decide about it such as India, U.S. It has been abolished in many countries due to the rise of Terrorism which has become the global issue today and also due to many feminists’ movements. THE VEIL AND FEMINIST APPROACHES A perception that the veil is a symbol of oppression of women has different adherents who embody different assumptions ad different levels of sophistication. Many westerners and non- Muslims think that Muslim women are completely and utterly subjugated by men, and the veil is the symbol of that. They are underpinned by an unconscious adherence to liberalism and modernization theory. A more sophisticated view is that of one school of feminists, they argue that Islam, like any other patriarchal religion, subordinates women . They keep every sort of knowledge about the religion and believe that it undermines the women liberation and their rights. Some of them do not listen to the covered women. There is another school of feminists that listens to the voices of covered women but reaches to different conclusions about covering from those of the liberal feminists. Often anthropologists and historians, this group of feminists has been concerned to understand meaning of a social practice from the inside. Thus, this group follows a ‘contextual approach’ in understanding the grievances of Muslim women. Many feminists have trouble knowing how to deal with the veil, Islam, and the women who embrace it. Some feminists who in differing ways aim to build on, extrapolate from, or sometimes negate, classical Islamic law, and reinterpret it for modern times. There are also feminists whose benchmark is liberal secular liberalism, who seeks to remove all aspects of Islamic law that do not conform to a secular liberal feminist standard of equality and liberation for women. METHODOLOGICAL STUDY The study of women, indeed, Islam in general, has suffered methodological problems. Until recently, the predominant methodological approach to study Muslim women has been Orientalist, or neo-Orientalist. Orientalism has viewed Muslims through the prism of religion, said by Edward said. ‘ISLAM’ has been as a static, monolithic, backward doctrine that both explains and determines Muslim behavior. After World War II, Orientalism was transformed in to modernization theory. This approach analyzed the non-western world to evolve into western style institutions. The mainstream Western media and mass market books still rely on a belief in the inherent superiority of the Western ways to make the case against Islam. In modern times, Muslim elites accepted the Western version of the meaning of the veil, and they also saw its disappearance as essential to the ‘modernization’ of their countries. Nazira Zain al-Din, the first Arab woman to publish lengthy treaties on the topic of veiling: â€Å"I have noticed that the nations that have given up the veil are the nations that have advanced in intellectual and material life. The unveiled nations are the ones that have discovered through research and study the secrets of nature and have brought the physical elements under their control as you see and know. But the veiled nations have not unearthed any secret and have not put any of the physical elements under their control but only sing the songs of the glorious past and ancient tradition.† Historians and Anthropologists in particular, have challenged Orientalism and modernization theory in relation to Muslim women by urging a focus on the specificity of Muslim women in order to understand them better. Indeed, it is useful to point out that women’s frequently deteriorated under European intervention in the Muslim world, challenging the linkage of Modernization and Westernization with liberation for Muslim women. Seclusion increased in the Ottoman Empire during European penetration. Muslim women have had right over their property owned by father or earned by themselves, without the involvement of their husband. In Aleppo, upper-class women were â€Å" property owners of some importance in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries†¦In 1770, 59 percent of all property sales involved women as either buyers or sellers; in 1800, 67 percent; and in 1840 , 53 percent†. In Egypt, Muhammad Ali’s centralization programme deprived Muslim women of economic independence. Centralization excluded them, as ruler gave away land at his discretion to women’s detriment. In addition, the: New centralized system also introduced new institutions derived from Europe that militated against women. Banks, stock exchanges, insurance companies, etc, in Europe did not recognize the legal existence of women; and so they followed the same strategies in Egypt. Women were not allowed to open bank accounts in their own names or to play the stock market or to indulge in other activities in their own right. If modernization improved health and education and, after colonialism, ended seclusion, in other areas women’s â€Å"social maneuverability† deteriorated. Hence historical study reveals the condition of many women in specific places and shows that Westernization and modernization did no good to Muslim women in their advancement. The veil is seen as quintessential tradition. Colonialists, missionaries, Orientalists, and secular feminists attacked veiling as a backward tradition, but it is now known that veiling became more widespread in the Middle East after Napoleon’s evasion of Egypt in 1798, and increased during European occupation of the Middle East (1830-1936). So, ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’ are unstable categories. Afshar, who admits to not understanding why women embrace the veil , writes: â€Å"The twentieth century marked the apex of Muslim women’s intellectual engagement with their religion, first to denounce it and to disengage from its gender-specific prescriptions, and then to return to the texts and reclaim their Islamic rights. Faced with this unexpected volte face researches have tended to take embattled positions to attack or defend the faith, and have all too often failed to engage with the realities and the situations in which women have found themselves† . Keddie observes that the women and Islam field is ideologically charged and tense: â€Å"One group denies that Muslim women..are any more oppressed than non-Muslim women or argue that in key respects they have been less oppressed. A second says that oppression is real but extrinsic to Islam; the Qur’an, they say, intended gender equality, but this was undermined by Arabian patriarchy and foreign importations. An opposing group blames Islam for being irrevocably gender in egalitarian. There are also those who adopt intermediate positions, as well as those who tend to avoid these controversies by sticking to monographic or limited studies that do not confront such issues. Some scholars favor shifting emphasis away from Islam to economic and social forces.† In this context, we can say that Muslim women are deprived of many rights but for this it is the Quran to blame or the interpretations of Qur’anic verse by many Scholars and jurists. Local customs and predilections are relevant, perhaps most important for an understanding of women’s actual role and involvement in society. Obviously conceptual views of women’s role and position and role in society do not count for something, and one of the burning questions of the contemporary Muslim scene is to what extent early juristic proscriptions and prescriptions for women’s status and role ought to be the guiding norm for Muslims today. Veiling is liked to an oppressive practice under Taliban regime in Afghanistan of the 1990’s, where women have been denied education, confined to the home, and barred from any role in public life; veiling may be seen as a symbol of women’s oppression in that community. Sonobol, argues that an important methodological problem I the field is with those scholars who accept methodological problem in the field is with those scholars who accept the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sunnah as â€Å"representing the actual as opposed to the normative condition of women.† Her assumption is that the normative position of women can be said to be oppressive, but actual women’s life may not have been, that actual women’s lives may not have been conformed to the description of a constricting official doctrine: â€Å"If anything, social discourse seems to point to apposition quite opposite to what the ‘formal’ discourse present us. This means that the actual lives women led caused reactionary clergymen to interpret laws more conservatively. The ‘looser’ the women, the stricter the interpretation†. Across Islamic history, this is sometimes true. Some Islamic discourses may result in an oppressively patriarchal order, but other Islamic discourses do not. Berktay, a Turkish feminist, criticizes the contextual approach, which seeks to understand Muslim women from their own perspective, for its cultural relativism. She argues following Tabari, â€Å"cultural relativism becomes a banner under which oppression may be made to appear tolerable† . Berktay refers to veiling as an example of the problems of cultural relativism: â€Å"This benevolent cultural relativism on the part of Western feminists sometimes goes far as to extend a rationalization of the segregation of women to accepting and condoning even veiling for the Middle Eastern ‘sisters’: ‘Although universally perceived in the West as an oppressive custom, it [veiling] is not experienced as such by women who habitually wear it’, writes Leila Ahmed. Leaving aside the strength of the argument about the social construction of experience and feelings, and about how misleading it therefore is to claim a special ‘authenticity’ for (only some among) them, one wonders whether Western feminists, who know perfectly well that these practices spring from a theology of the maintenance of so called female purity, would ever accept veiling for themselves- and not as an ‘alternative’ way of life, but as something compulsory, from which there is no possibility of opting out. Warne speaks of the â€Å"unacknowledged Quarantine† that has existed between feminists and religious studies, and suggests it is time o break down the barriers: â€Å"Unfortunately, there is a tendency to consider only [women’s] negative experiences [with religion] as accurate, and all positive ones, by definition as a kind of patriarchally induced false consciousness. Judgments such as these pose serious problems for scholars interested in both women and religion, because work that attempts to be more nuanced is sometimes read as betrayal or as patriarchal co-optation†. VEIL AND THE WEST At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the topic of Islam, fundamentalism, terrorism, extremism and women’s position in Islam is on many people’s minds. The discourse in the popular mind is one of the backwardness, violence and barbarity of Islam, Arabs and Muslims. This makes challenging the Western stereotype that the veil is the symbol of Muslim women’s oppression an uphill battle, all the more in light certain late twentieth century events in the Muslim world: Iran’s imposition of the chador after khomeini’s revolution in 1979; the Taliban’s imposition of the burqa after their accession to power in 1997; and the violence perpetrated by radical groups in the name of Islam in Egypt, Israel, Algeria and the like. Does not all this merely confirm that Islam is violent, intolerant and anti-women? The point is that Muslims are not accorded the same degree of care and precision, there is no recognition of special, localized circumstances that intervene between ‘Islam’ and enactment. US Administration and other western powers do not have anything against Islam and Muslims in general; actually the public rhetoric demonizing Islam is part of the Western maintenance of its global hegemony. The discourse in West is tied to western national interests. US policy in the Middle East is to protect its access to Middle Eastern oil fields and give unconditional support to Israel. Because Islam is perceived as anti-West, the contemporary Islamists movements to install shari’ah law are feared. It is thought that Muslim governments committed to implementing Islamic law will interfere with western interests and may threaten Israel. Hence pro-western, secular governments in the Muslim world are supported, even if they repress their own populace. The veil’s association with the Islamists movement is thus the link between Western power politics and an anti-veil discourse in the west. However, US and Western national interests have dictated foreign policies that are interpreted by most of the Muslim and Arab populace as hypocritical and harmful to their own interests and need: Israel is not bombed for its covert nuclear weapons program; the West remains silent over violations of Muslim’s human rights; and the West supports corrupt governments over democratic movements. MUSLIMS IN THE WEST The need to challenge the negative stereotype of the veil as oppressive is urgent for those Muslims who live in the west. Anecdotal evidence demonstrates that Muslims (male and female are hurt by the negative image of veil and Islam. Several examples are there to support it. In 1995 some Muslim school girls were thrown out of the school in Quebec, Canada, for refusing to remove their scarves. The schools ruled that scarves were an â€Å"ostentatious symbol† akin to a swastika. A teenage girl in Quebec who wore hijab to high school was mortified to see her teacher on television proclaiming, â€Å"Islam degrades women.† â€Å"I started to cry. I could not understand why someone would say something like that,† she told. â€Å"She knows me. She knows what I am like, and that I am not like that. How can she say that?† CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) reported in November 1997 that a 13 year old boy was hospitalized after being beaten by two or more teenagers who called him a â€Å"rag head† and â€Å"f—-ing sand n-gger.† Apparently the attack occurred after the father of one of the attackers called the father of the victim a â€Å"rag head† and the â€Å"rag head lover.† Thus the life of these Muslims is miserable in such countries and protective measures must be taken to protect the individual freedom. MUSLIM WOMEN IN FRANCE Muslim women in France are refrained from using face veil. The French law doesn’t allow face veil in France. Many Muslim women condemn the law and also protested against it. But the result was not changed. Instead, according to the law they were to be charged with fines and compensation. They are allowed to use the headscarves but not face veil. The government gives reason that this face veil has lead to the accidents of many ladies who wear it and fail to follow the traffic rules. It keeps them away from the world as due to it they do not see and hear properly. Many feminists say that this religious habit shows the dominance of patriarchal society and women should come up by not accepting it or refusing it. Government has also charged males of the family who impose women of the family to wear it. This law has invoked protest in the Paris where large number of France’s Muslim stay. Thus, many modern Muslims have stopped wearing face veil in the public. But few women are hurt and heartlessly follow it. The government has also asked them to shift to those countries that follow this tradition, instead of living or spending their livelihood in France. MUSLIM WOMEN IN INDIA Muslim women in India have full freedom of choosing their views about veiling. It is totally left upon them about the decision of face veil. In India, where 83 percent of majority is Muslims and Christians, the interests of people (Muslims and Christians) cannot be negated. Our politicians seek vote from these two major communities, that’s why they never undermine their interests. To make a comment upon this is quite tough that ‘Politicians to seek chair (power), ignores the truth’. But, in our topic of discussion this title has no importance, because basically it’s the discussion about ‘Muslim women and the veil’. Indian government has put forth to check that Male of many Muslim family do not threaten/impose their wives and daughters to put face veil without their consent. Thus, the Indian Muslim women enjoy their right in India and are free to choose their likes and wither away their dislikes. THE VEIL In the English language a ‘veil’ is normally â€Å"a piece of usually more or less transparent fabric attached to a woman’s hat, etc, to conceal the face or protect against the sun† This word corresponds to the Arabic niqab , the veil with which women cover their faces. As a word to convey the Islamic notion of hijab it is totally inadequate. It can include covering the face, or not. It includes lowering the gaze with the opposite sex, and applies to men as well, who must lower their gaze and cover from navel to knee. These days, hijab is also the name of the cloth women use as a headscarf for their head coverings and tie or pin at the neck, with their faces showing. Over the centuries and in different places, how a woman covers has varied enormously – what parts are covered, with what kind of material, texture, pattern etc. The terminology has varied also, region to region, of course. The word niqab refers to the face veil that some women attach to their headscarves. CONCLUSION The study of veil is not only about the religious analysis but also about understanding the complexity of issue in the contemporary world. The instructions given in Qur’an about Muslim women to veil were written according to that time. The practice taking place at that time harassed many women of that time. The instructions given were to improve the conditions of those women. But the things are changed now, the Modernization see these things as oppression of women. With the rise of Globalization, people have become advanced and do not believe in religious sentiments of those who still follow their tradition and culture. Some Muslim women are oppressed by the male members of their family and are not able to enjoy certain rights. Those women must come up and must put forward their interests. Religious sentiments should never be undermined as it can lead to uncertainty among various classes of the society.

The digital audio device market constitutes an annual growth rate of 25% in the hi-fi product market. â€Å"Portable digital audio devices...are becoming very popular with young people, with a projected worldwide market size of 20 million units by 2005† (Mourjopoulos, 2005, p.303). Blackberry maker Research in Motion (RIM) is the chosen based company that will enter the hi-fi audio market. In terms of market gap, Blackberry is stable and one of the fastest growing companies in the consumer electronics market. In the recent Smartphone market shares survey, Blackberry is in the second place with a market share of 17.8% (What hi-fi? Sounds and Vision, 2010). In the worldwide mobile phone market, Blackberry is at the fourth place with a 100 millionth shipped device. There are many predictions that Blackberry will be left behind by its competitors because â€Å"RIM services are pretty left behind with less attractiveness as well as loyalty from both developers and customers† (TMart Es, 2010). Because competition is very tight, Blackberry is now in total market share protection mode just like by making some of its product inexpensive (Dunewood, 2010). With this kind of performance, rest assured that it would not be difficult for RIM to introduce the new range of hi-fi audio products under Blackberry’s brand name. Blackberry’s usual target market is the business professionals and high income executives; however, the younger age groups will be added as the new target consumer group for hi-fi equipments. The range will be targeting the young generation because these

Hypo-kinetic diseases and physical activity Essay

Hypo-kinetic diseases and physical activity - Essay Example 2014). Apart from genetics, excess weight in young children results from overeating of unhealthy junk, oily and sugary foods combined with under-exercise which leads to fat accumulation below body tissues (Erlichman, J.et al, 2002).To some children, overeating has been associated with esteem issues. Hypo-kinetic diseases cause adverse health issues like cardiovascular disease and type 2diabetes which are highly linked to increased rates of morbidity and mortality. As such, obesity in young children needs to be handled before they can be transferred into adulthood. To reduce obesity and overweight issues in children, in addition to a healthy lifestyle, children should be engaged in physical activity and cardio-respiratory fitness (Hills, A. P.2013). However, physical exercise should be regulated to avoid accidents. Over-exercise in young women combined with prolonged starvation can cause brittle bones which fracture leading to skeletal risk. Some symptoms of over-exercise could includ e; missing or irregular menstrual cycle, extreme thinness, extreme weight loss and loss of appetite among such behaviors. Such signs should be adequately treated by consuming enough calories to sustain the level of physical activity and also moderating the level of exercise to match the age, energy consumption and sex (NIH,

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

British Government Promises - Essay Example This paper stresses that  French gained control of Lebanon as well as Turkish Cilicia with Britain gaining Palestine, Jordan as areas of Bagdad and Persian Gulf. The agreement however failed to indicate complete ownership of the territories, but rather a complete control; through governmental and administrative levels.From this study it is clear that each of the three agreements had conflicts with the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence agreement evidenced in that the real cause for Britain making the agreement was never disclosed. The real cause was to help defeat the Ottoman Empire in the war that had become an ally of Germany (MacQueen,  2013). Conflict in the Sykes-Picot Agreement is evidenced in the fact that the allies focused on means of dividing the previous Arab lands among themselves as opposed to granting independence and the lands back to Arabs as promised. The Arabs therefore were left in the dark of the planned actions. The Balfour Declaration conflict results from givin g the land previously owned by Arabs to the Jews. Palestine declaration as home to the Jews served in fulfilling the interests of Jewish Zionists as keeping the promise made between Britain and Palestines when the Palestines were encouraged to revolt against the Ottoman Empire.  The reasons behind the British making these promises were based on selflessness and individual gain. Britain was wary of Germany and Ottoman Empire support for Germany and thus involved the Arabs to help in the war.

A change in the price of a good causes a movement along the same Essay

A change in the price of a good causes a movement along the same demand curve or along the same supply curve whereas a change in any of other determinant of dem - Essay Example This is a very important determinant. Generally, a rise in income is associated with an increase in demand for most goods (normal goods) (Sloman, 1994). Examples are cars and other durable goods. Demand for some goods is unaffected by a change in income. For example, demand for salt and furniture is satiated above a certain level of income. Demand for some goods will fall as income rises (inferior goods) (Sloman, 1994). These are often the less expensive substitutes of another better quality good. For example, consumers reduce their demand for cheap televisions with fewer gadgets and increase their demand for expensive televisions with more gadgets when income rises. The ability to afford a good, especially expensive durable goods, will depend also on the availability of credit facilities. Another determinant that causes a shift in the demand curve is substitute goods (Dominick, 2003; Sloman, 1994). These are goods that can be used to replace one another to satisfy a particular want. Consumers choose among substitutes partly on the basis of their relative prices. Examples of substitute goods are butter and margarine, tea and coffee, and apples and oranges. These goods are in competitive demand fulfilling the same kind of want. A rise in the price of Good Y will tend to increase the demand for Good X that has become relatively cheaper. The two goods are substitutes if an increase in the price of one leads to an increase in the demand for the other. For example, if the price of tea increases it is expected that the demand for coffee will increase. The quantity demanded for tea is expected to fall. The third determinant that causes a shift in the demand curve is complementary goods (Dominick, 2003; Sloman, 1994). A good is a complement to another good to the extent that it is used jointly. The goods are consumed together (in combination) to satisfy some particular want. Examples are car and

Need for a Lean Initiatives - Research Paper Example Management is a complex function that determines a company success, delivering of affordable goods and quality goods, a trustable delivery and continuous innovation throughout the companies’ entire functioning chains (Arnheiter & Maleyeff, 2005). Determinants of efficient management are measured by the companies’ market network and the shareholder value. If the two factors increase then the companies have realized good management skills. Nike and Adidas are two European countries that work with an aim of outdoing each other from the market by improving their strategic management. Most of the strategies are based on their supply chain and marketability of their products. The aim of this study is to compare and to contrast the management styles of the two companies in the context of how they affect organization behavior. According to Locke and Romis (2012), a lean management system incorporates a strategy that ensures daily progress, meaningful purpose, and lasting value. The Footwear market is characterized by dynamic factors; most of the changes are short period. The demands in the market are not flexible, and the purchases are sometimes high and other times small. Additionally, the products from the manufacturing industry to the market usually follow a short product lifecycle. Adidas Company has instituted lean initiatives in management, focused to decrease the costs and to improve their supply chain processes. However, lean initiatives make the company prone to risks that occur because of relying on other supply chains, elements and other interruptions (Locke & Romis, 2012) Nike Company has adopted a management strategy referred to as a Subcontracting Management Plan. The strategy has advantages for the company marketing strategies, and it ensures that the markets are unique from other companies offering similar products, and the production process is determined by the

Will Tesla Motors Succeed In China (it is a research paper) Essay

Will Tesla Motors Succeed In China (it is a research paper) - Essay Example (Glancey, 2013) The early history of the motor vehicle can be put into several eras based on the means of engine propulsion. Recent eras are however grouped depending on trends in size, utility preference and exterior styling. The first steam-powered vehicle was developed in 1672 by Ferdinand Verbiest as a gift to the Chinese Emperor. It was however too small to carry around a driver but it still considered as the first steam powered automobile. Large enough steam powered vehicles that were able to carry a driver were developed much later on in the 18th Century (Glancey, 2013). Josef Bozek developed an oil-fired steam automobile in 1815. In 1838, Walter Hancock came up with a four-sitter steam phaeton. A Canadian named Henry Seth Taylor tested his four wheeled steam buggy in Quebec in 1867 (Eckermann, 2001). Anyos Jedilk developed a crude version of an electric car in 1828 by creating a small model car that was powered by a newly developed electric motor. An American named Thomas Davenport installed his direct current electric motor in a model motor vehicle that operated on an electrified track. These Electric cars were hugely popular towards the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century due to their comfort levels, and operational ease. However improvements of the internal combustion engines like the internal electric starter as well as a superior range when compared to the electrical engines greatly eroded their advantage. Mass production of these gasoline powered vehicles by Ford Motor company also greatly reduced their costs coupled with an improved petroleum infrastructure. (Glancey, 2013) The modern era here is used to refer to two the previous two decades and their improvements in motor vehicle designs and safety standards. There are key technical and design concepts that set apart antiques from modern motor vehicles. The modern car era has seen increased use of platform

Functions of Management Essay Example for Free

Functions of Management Essay United Health group is a major insurance company that provides medical and mental health coverage to its consumers. The organization manages Medicaid and Medicare accounts as well as commercial accounts from employers. Providing healthcare insurance is a competitive job, therefore, the management of the organization has to use the four functions of management to remain in the competition. The four function of management are planning, organizing, leading and controlling. In this paper, we will discuss the four functions of management and how it relates to the organization. The four functions of management is planning, organizing, leading and, controlling. Planning is for the goals of the organization, planning sets the stage for action and major achievements. Organizing is assembling and coordinating human, financial resources needed to achieve the goals. This could be organizing activities such as grouping jobs into work units, marshaling and allocating resources and creating conditions so that people and things work together to achieve maximum success. Leading is stimulating people to be high performers. Leading can take place in departments, teams as well as divisions. By encouraging high performers, you are increasing their inner moral, making them feel and believe they can complete their goals rather it is individual goals that coincide with the organization’s goals. Another management function is controlling, managers make sure the organization’s resources are being used as planned and that the organization is meeting its goals for quality and safety. The four functions of management have in common is to achieve the goals for the organization. The four functions all work together. There are three different levels in management; top level managers, middle level managers and, front line managers. Top level managers are typically the CEO, COO or CIO. Middle level managers are under the top level managers and, frontline managers are considered operational managers. The top level manager determines and identifies the goals that are needed for the entire organization. Once the CEO has identified the goals and what steps that are  needed to achieve the goal, the information is conveyed to middle management. Middle management takes those goals and determines what’s needed to achieve the goals such as organizing workloads, teams or units. Then convey to frontline managers. Front line management does most of the leading, their more hands on with employees or teams. Front line managers assist with establishing individual goals that will benefit the company and coincide with the company’s goals. Front line managers also use controlling by making sure the e mployees utilize company resources if needed. Also by making sure the company goals are being met. The organization uses all four of the management functions. There have been many cases of increased health issues within call center environments such as; obesity, high blood pressure, depression and anxiety issues. The organization created incentives to make the idea more appealing to the employees. The organization has decided to inspire and motivate their employees to take better care of their health. By creating the goals of decreasing the health issues within the office setting the organization set their stage for action so they could achieve these goals. Now that the goal has been established the organization needs to assemble humans, physical information to coordinate ways to achieve the goals. The organization started providing bonus incentives such has decrease in insurance if you’re passed a bio metric screening.

There are different teams within the company with a goal of losing the most weight. The teams encourage one another and provide support during their weight loss journey. All teams support and encourage with the expectations of dropping the weight and defeating the other team. The teams have weekly check-ins where the members have to weigh in, report their meal plans. By utilizing the four functions of management, the organization has been able to lower their premiums for their employees, and increase better health within the organization. The organization identified the issue of health  concerns within the office setting, set the goals of prevention and reduction. With those plans of prevention and reduction the organization was able to organize employees and coordinate ways to achieve the goals. The staff coordinated and provided information to their employees to educate and prevent. The leaders promoted the resources and encouraged those to be active and participate in all the resources the organization has to offer.

Social psychological principles of prejudice and attitudes

Social psychological principles of prejudice and attitudes Many people believe prejudice and discrimination mean the same thing .In fact there is a very important difference between them. Prejudice is an attitude, whereas discrimination refers to the behaviour or action. If someone dislikes a given minority, but does not allow this dislike to effect their behaviour then the person shows prejudice but not discrimination. According to Baron and Byrne (1991) prejudice is an attitude towards the member of some group based solely on their membership in that group. In contrast discrimination involves negative action directed at the member of the group. Allport (1954) argued that there are five different stages of discrimination. Anti-location: Verbal attacks are directed against some other group. Avoidance: the other group is systematically avoided. Discrimination: the other group is deliberately treated less well than other groups in term of civil rights. Physical attack: Membership of the other group are attacked and their property is destroyed. Extermination: there are deliberate attempts to kill all members of the other group. The word prejudice can be broken down in to pre (meaning before) and judice (meaning judgement). Therefore to be prejudice towards an individual or group shows a pre-judge of that individual or group. There are three elements to prejudice. Cognitive element: This involves the beliefs held about the group. These beliefs will be in the form of stereotyping, common but over simple views of what particular groups of people are like. The affective element: This involves the feelings experienced in response to the group. If we are prejudiced against a group we may experience anger, fear, hate or disgust when we encounter a member of that group. The behavioural element: This consists of our actions toward the object of our prejudice. Behaving differently towards people based on their membership of a group is called discrimination. Our actions against members of a group against which we hold a prejudice can rang from avoidance and verbal criticism to mass extermination. Psychological approach to explain prejudice falls in to two broad areas. Social approach centres on the social factors that contribute to prejudice in general. Whereas individual differences approaches centres on what factors make some people more prone to prejudice. Tajel and Turner (1979) proposed the social identity theory. This theory is one of a group of theoryà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s that share the assumption that prejudice can be explained by our tendency to identify ourselves as part of a group and to classify other people as either within or outside that group. Tajfel and Turner carried out a number of laboratory experiment called the minimal group Tajfel (1970) carried out an experiment to look at intergroup discrimination. To test his theory sixty four schoolboys aged between 14 and 15 year old were selected. The participants were initially informed that the experiment was research investigating vision. The boys were shown clusters of dots on a screen and asked to estimate the number of dots on the picture. The participants were then divided in to two groups group A and group B. Group A was classified as boys that had underestimated the amount of dots and group B was those boys who had overestimated the amount of dots. The boys were then given a number of tasks in which they would allocate points to each other. Each boy did not know who they were allocating points to but they did know which group the boy belonged to three conditions were used as part of this experiment condition one the choice was between two boys from group A the second condition was two boys from group B and the last condition used one boy from each group. What Tajfel identified as part of this research was that the boys overwhelmingly chose to allocate points to the boys who had been indentified as in the same group as themselves. Despite the fact that there was no direct competition between the two groups the participants consistently displayed favouritism towards the boys from the same group. Ellis and Fox (2001) also carried out research in to prejudice and discrimination looking effect of self-identification sexual orientation on helping behaviour. This research involves 235 British men and women were telephone at home. The caller explained that they had dialled the wrong number and that they had no more change to make a further call and asked if the participant would relay a message to the callerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s partner. In the experimental condition the callers partner was identified as the same sex as the caller, and in the controlled condition they were identified as the opposite sex. The finding shoed that overall both gay man and lesbians were less likely to receive help than heterosexuals. Women were also more to receive help than men. The final conclusion to the research showed that people were less likely to offer help to a gay men who found themselves in difficulty. This showed prejudice and discrimination towards gay men. When discussing prejudice or discrimination, stereotyping also needs to be examined Stewart et al. (1979) described stereotyping as a process not only used to simplify environmental and social stimuli, but one that also aids the construction of meaning to those stimuli based on attribution expectations. Whereas Taguirs (1969) defined stereotyping as the tendency to place a person in a category according to some easily and quickly identifiable characteristic such as age, sex, ethic membership, nationality or occupation, and then to attribute to them qualities believed to be typical of a member of that category. Stereotypes seem to provide a simple and economical; way of perceiving the world. In the late 1800s male Chinese immigrants were brought to the U.S. to work on the railroads and as agricultural labours on the West Coast many specialized in laundry services. Some came willingly others were basically kidnapped and brought forcibly. After the transcontinental railroad was completed and it occurred to white Americans that the Chinese workers were still around and might compete with them for jobs, a wave of anti-Chinese sentiment swept the U.S. Chinese men were stereotyped as degenerate heroin addicts whose presence encouraged prostitution, gambling, and other immoral activities. Since most Chinese immigrants were brought here specifically as workers, the vast majority were male few at that time were able to bring their wives. A number of cities on the West Coast experienced riots in which whites attacked Asians and destroyed Chinese sections of town. The Seattle riot resulted in practically the entire Chinese population being rounded up and forcibly sent to San Franci sco. Similar situations in other towns encouraged Chinese workers scattered throughout the West to relocate, leading to the growth of Chinatowns in a few larger cities on the West Coast. Ac cording to Buchanan (2007) many researchers have argued that prejudice is part of human nature and that the only by confronting our authentic nature can we gain real insight into the forces that drive group conflict and learn how we might better manage and defuse such urges. Probable the first formal proposal of a set of social psychological principles for reducing prejudice was from Allportà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s (1954) Contact hypothesis. Prejudice may be reduced by equal status contact between majority and the minority groups in the pursuit of common goals. When people are segregated they are more likely to experience autistic hostility, that is ignorance of other which in turn results in a failure to understand the reason for their actions Lack of contact means there is no reality testing against which to checking our own interpretation of others behaviour, and in turn can enforce negative stereotyping.

Just War :: Essays Papers

Just War What makes a just war? As you ponder this question, you ask yourself is there really a correct answer? The word "just" contradicts every aspect of war. Can a chaotic and brutal event, such as warfare, be guided by reason and fairness? During the height of the 12th and 13th century in Europe it was thought that every war should be fought for a just cause. It was during this time that the concept of chivalry arose, creating a sense of honorable and courteous conduct expected among knights. Knights were to feel a personal obligation to the weak and defenseless elements of their society. Therefore it became a knight's duty to fight off anyone causing harm to the helpless people of his society. The notion of fighting for the good of society thus became a just cause for war. The ideas of chivalry came about through the church in an effort to Christianize the military. The church made a knight take an oath that his sword "may be a defense of churches, widows, orphans, and of all those who were not entitled to bear arms." Books were also written that marked out the rules of chivalry in more detail such as The Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem and The Order of Poor Knights of Christ. The books stated things like, "protect churches and ecclesiastical property, unarmed women, non-noble children under the age of fourteen, and unarmed clergy peasants engaged in their labors." The rules of chivalry gave a purpose to fighting. War was honorable because it was for the protection of helpless people. Those who fought for the good of society were fighting for a good and just cause and would be looked highly upon in the eyes of God. The rules of chivalry also applied to the other side of warfare. Knights who were fighting had to follow honorable rules when dealing with the enemy. A chivalrous knight would not harm the weak or the defenseless people during warfare. In this way war became "fair" because only the armed would fight. The rules of chivalry became commonly understood social laws. Knights followed the rules of chivalry because it made them honorable, good men and pleased the Lord.

Odysseus in The Odyssey Essay -- Papers Odyssey Homer Essays

Odysseus in The Odyssey Odysseus is the main character in an epic poem called the Odyssey. In the poem Odysseus has had some bad luck getting home, with some of the gods helping him and some hindering him; his journey towards home is a constant struggle. In this poem we see a man being broke and rebuilt, through constant irony his faith was damaged and without the help of Athena he probably would have given up on his journey. Through his hard work and wise spirit he finally does achieve his goal. Odysseus must journey from Troy to his homeland of Ithaca. Throughout this journey Odysseus experiences a lot of inconsistent emotions. A lot of this is attributed to the physical and mental hell he goes through on this remarkable journey. With the help of the Gods he finally does return to Ithaca. Odysseus arrives on the shore of Phaecia, in Book VI of the Odyssey. His most helpful and favorable goddess has sent Nausicaa a dream compelling her to wash clothes in preparation for an upcoming marriage. Athena makes Nausicaa brave and Odysseus handsome bringing them together in order to assist Odysseus to the house of the king. Athena said ? How so remiss, and yet thy mothers daughter? Leaving thy clothes uncared for, Nausikaa, when thou must have store a marriage linen, and put thy minstresly in wedding dress? (Book 6). In this book is an example of the gods assisting Odysseus, which compels me to question how great Odysseus really was? A god can make even a coward a hero (not saying Odysseus was a coward). Almost everything is done to help Odysseus and so he is fortunate to have the support of the gods especially in this book. ?But Athena poured a sea of fog around him as he went her loves expedient, that no jeer... ...he gods commands and travels inward till no man has seen the ocean. Carrying his large oar across his back and placing it in the dirt where a man asks him if the oar is a widowing fan. Odysseus is very wise. It would have been easy to have stayed at home and rested, but he knew what happened to people who did not obey the gods. In Conclusion, I have laid out some evidence showing Odysseus?s strength?s, Bravery, and faith. Also I have given examples of his dependency of the gods. I don?t believe anyone would argue that Odysseus was not a great man. Although I argue that he was still only a man. Between all of his hardships and troubles I will grant that he never lost faith and never chose a fate other than home. Works Cited Homer. ?The Odyssey,? World Masterpieces: Expanded Edition.

Spatial Database Systems and Management Multidimensional Discrete Data

Spacial database systems offer the underlying database technology for geographic information systems and other applications. Several terms have been used to describe database systems offering such support, including pictorial image, geometric, geographic, and spatial. The terms pictorial database system and image arise from the fact that the data to be managed are often initially captured in the form of digital raster images, remote sensing by satellites, or compuer tomography in medical applications. Spatial database management involves two main categories of data: vector and raster data. The former has received a lot of in-depth investigation; the latter still lacks a sound frmaework. Current DBMSs either regard raster data as pure byte sequence where the DBMS has no knowledge about the underlying semantics, or they do not complement array structures with storage mechanisms suitable for huge arrays, or they are designed as specialized systems with sophisticated imaging functionality, but no general database capabilities. We will discuss some of the aspects of spatial data, spatial databae and it's management. In various fields, there is a need to manage geometric, geographic, or spatial data. The space of interest can be, for example, the 2-D abstraction of the earth's surface, or the images of human body including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), ultrasonography(US), projectional computed radiography (CR) etc. These medical imaging systems have revolutionized the means by which images are acquired, providing views of anatomical cross-sections and physiological state. This revolution in the acquisition of radiological information has not yet brought about a parallel revolution in the intelligent management, visualization, integration, or knowledge extraction from data produced by these digital imaging system. In the discipline of visualization,where the areas of computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, computer-aided design, signal processing, and user interface studies converge into one unifying framework for the processing of visual information, several representation of a scene are distinguished. Kromker (1991) proposes a visualization reference model that is particularly suitable for database investigations because classification is done along the data structure on hand. Three of the six layers introduced in this reference model are relevant for DBMSs that deal with visualization structure: 1. The Symbolic Representation Layer deals with abstract scene descriptions, but without an explicit description of geometry and properties of the entities modeled. 2. The Geometry/Feature Layer covers geometric descriptions, appearance properties, and viewing parameters. Vector graphics would be a subset of such data structure. 3. On the Digital Pixel Layer, a scene is discretized in both space and color, yielding a raster image. A raster image consists of a finite set of points in the discrete coordinate space Z(d) where each point has some value, its color, associated. There is no algorithm that performs reasonably well on any kind of image and under all corcumstances; above all, images frequently contain information that cannot be cast into points, lines, and regions bounded by lines, because the boundary cannot be recognized without doubt (e.g., tumors in medical imagery), or because there is no clear boundary (e.g., density distributions such as clouds in weather satellite images). In summary, both vector and raster representation are important for spatial data management, because each of them has pacific strengths and weaknesses; moreover, both representations are independent from each other in the sense that there is no lossless transformation between them.

Student Version of Decleration of Independence

When in the course of serviceman events, it lets necessary for students to break off with their p arnts and t severallyers and to become independent they must explain wherefore they deserve to be independent to the embossment of the domain of a function. This requires us, as students to write our own contract of Independence for the nap of the world to look into and comprehend why we should be and testament be independent to show our onerousness against our teachers.

Even after all of this mistreatment, the students including myself have expressed how we matte up to our teachers.However, our complaints have fallen flat. And as usual we have been shunned and ignored. We have even brought our agency to the ears of administrators, teachers from different schools and parents, but we have been muted. A petition to ease the dictatorship of our teachers was refused by many. Some even attempted to aim posters illustrating how the students felt. Students even tried going on strike, refusing to go to classes. Meetings to try and sit down with the faculty of South Gwinnett to discuss the bet were ignored as well.The betrayal was stern. Do we not deserve respect? Though, instanter we must announce that we are reconciling in this debauchery and separating ourselves from the school as a whole to become more independent and liberated. We, therefore the students and representative of South Gwinnett risque School in Snellville atomic number 31 present these facts to the rest of the country and the world for freedom. And with this, the students of South Gwinnett write and declare that we are now independent from South Gwinnett High School.

When communicate to Emma, we empathize how a separate he cargons for her, though some dates he whitethorn face gracious of abrupt.Neverthe less, by means ofout the unexampled we trance Emmas limitless faults. She befoolms to be unseasoned at the spark of the falsehood, which cigaret be verbalize to justify her unripe behaviour. though it appears that she does non fuck a cud rough vitality in general, playacting screw up and im full-blown we are concisely sh receive of her sharp, reasoned and kind self, which makes the reader puddle of her epic pauperisation of help. She is lacking(p) enate stomach hugely, and rather in earnest it is drop dead to us that she has neer had a fetch phase to ol detailory property up to, lonesome(prenominal) ever having suffer Taylor her governess, which exposems more resembling friendship than mother-daughter. Her get under ones skin does non check of her wish of acknowledge and support, and thus continues to act same a egocentric electric s fatherr who demand a great(p) mountain of care, wherefore closed take up with Emma sympathize wi th and c at a mrning for her bring forth and not concentrating on her own needs. Although we turn back of her and her sisters closeness, Isabella has her own carriage and is remote from their solid ground for most of the year. As a result Mr Knightley shows to be the exclusively one surefooted and unforced snugly her, to help her through and towards her development.As Mr. Knightley acts as Emmas mentor throughout the novel, we discriminate on some(prenominal) occasions, him disturb her with the lawfulness, them in conflict, and a lot of actualization closely oneself. When she boasts of her persuading Harriet to moderate Robert Martins uniting proposal, as she is certain(a) of Mr. Eltons venerate for Harriet, we clear Mr. Knightley fuming with fury at her, as she does not gain the consequences of her actions, and the change she pull up stakes relieve oneself for the flock involved. She is tenacious with George Knightley, and in all when Mr. Elton propo ses to her, does she realize the naive realism in what she has through and the truth in what he has said. The spot is consequently followed by her self-searching, and reflecting on her actions, admitting she is do by to solitary(prenominal) herself, in short forgetting of her victimize doings. pastime the mishap at boxful Hill, it is the starting lineborn time that we see Emma discover elaborate in the novel. Mr. Knightley is very smouldering with Emma, precisely does bring forth his voice, apparently explains their office staff of how pack perceive them, elucidate the splendor of them orbit a good example. mayhap the reason for her humiliation, is the fact that she did not distinguish how hurtful she was to sink Bates, and never once took into thoughtfulness of her grade in the society. By explaining how their rotary converter of friends liveliness up to twain(prenominal) her and Mr. Knightley, Emma for the first time in the novel realises her role a s a woman, a mentor, and a friend. once purgative her true, pathetic feelings, Mr. Knightley acts kind and careing towards her, and she accepts her mistakes, and is nimble to defend to young lady Bates as well as being pally and enduring with her from so on. This base be seen as a self-analysis, which actually shows her willingness to develop. nonetheless as a novel reader, it seems that Austen is exactly exhibit cardinal peoples passion for for each one other, in which they both change state disenfranchised to persist.Mr. Knightley cares a great deal for Emma, and we fuck see that all his fanny and bonnie slipway in which he has dealt with her throughout the novel, have all been on the grounds of his rage for her, as a friend, a colleague and a man. He is commonsense and dependable during the narrative, which is how Austen gains our charge for him. He has helped her overlay umteen delicate powers on many occasions, still she has similarly helped hi m to mayhap not be so practiced and untrusting. And it seems as though Emma realises this near the closure of the novel, whilst discussing the situation of herself and Mr. Knightley, and the situation of blunt and Jane, to stamp Churchill himself.though at measure Mr. Knightley has possibly seemed approximate and chilly towards Emma, it has do her advance and mature in character greatly, expiry with her first-rate development.
