Every single diverse class were generally isolated by where individuals lived. As such, in no way, shape or form would anybody from a lower class be trapped in an uptown setting. There are an assortment of characters in the novel that originate from various financial foundations. In the novel, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald effectively utilizes area to separate societal position among his characters while the climate and periods of those areas help manage them.Each character speaks to and bolster the distinctions of social class and the four primary areas, The East Egg, the West Egg, the Valley of Ashes, and New York City. In The Great Gatsby geological areas separate social classes. East Egg speaks to old riches. The characters from East Egg are affluent however void inside. Their lives are shallow and unfulfilled. Jordan Baker is delightful outwardly however is just keen on tricking her way through life to get what she needs. The Buchanans look impeccable outwardly yet are useless on the inside.The characters in East Egg are haughty. ââ¬Å"Tom Buchanan is riches brutalized by narrow-mindedness and arroganceâ⬠(Cowley 71). ââ¬Å"Tomââ¬â¢s fretfulness is a pompous emphaticness trying to sidestep in boast the profound disquiet of self knowledgeâ⬠(Dyson 62). Daisy Buchanan is extremely just keen on herself and will utilize any implies that will at last advantage her. West Egg speaks to new riches. The characters that live in West Egg have brought in their cash all the more as of late. Scratch Carraway is taught at Yale and starts an occupation in the bond business when he moves to West Egg.Nick is straightforward and tunes in to othersââ¬â¢ issues. In the novel, Nick Carraway is continually attempting to help his better half Jordan Baker. Her issues spin around her cheating and acting naturally focused. The characters can likewise discover new riches through fra ntic and untrustworthy methods. Jay Gatsby increases the greater part of his riches through legacy. Gatsby imagines that riches will get him the adoration for Daisy and the existence which he longs for. What's more Gatsby has likewise made his fortune through crime, as he is happy to effectively pick up the social position he thinks important to win Daisy.The Valley of Ashes speaks to the socially unaccepted. The characters in the Valley of Ashes speak to destitution. ââ¬Å"This is the Valley of Dry Bones, the Waste Land, The dusty imitation of present day society, where debris dim men are disintegrating, as Eliotââ¬â¢s empty menâ⬠(Bicknell 98). Myrtle and George Wilson both live in an overview carport in the Valley of Ashes. Myrtle Wilson attempts urgently to improve her life and escape the Valley of Ashes. The Valley of Ashes additionally speaks to fate and passing. Myrtle is found as the survivor of an attempt at manslaughter brought about by Daisy and Gatsby.The Valley of Ashes speaks until the very end and dreams for Jay Gatsby, Myrtle Wilson, and George Wilson. These characters kick the bucket in the novel because of misguided judgment and outrage. The characters experience the Valley of Ashes to get to New York City. New York City speaks to glamour and unethical behavior. While in New York City Tom Buchanan takes part in an extramarital entanglements with Myrtle Wilson. Myrtle Wilson doesnââ¬â¢t care about anybody with the exception of the individuals who will guide her on the right way to improve her life. This is one reason why she has an unsanctioned romance with Tom.Tom Buchanan has no ethical questions about his own extramarital undertaking with Myrtle yet with regards to others, for example, Daisy and Gatsby he gets shocked and powers an encounter. During a gathering in New York City, Myrtle Wilson drinks excessively and starts to insult Tom about Daisy. Tom reacts to this by hitting Myrtle and breaking her nose. New York City speaks to an energy for cash and repressed delight. West Egg speaks to dreams while East Egg speaks to the demolition of the real world. Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway both originate from the mid-west.The mid-west speaks to everything that is related with warmth and home. In the wake of leaving the mid-west both Gatsby and Nick move to West Egg which is like the mid-west. Interestingly, the east speaks to everything that is shallow and heartless. Jordan Baker is a prime case of somebody who carries on with a shallow life in East Egg. F. Scott Fitzgerald fuses shading, climate, and seasons into The Great Gatsby. The green light that Gatsby sees each night from Daisyââ¬â¢s dock speaks to his future with her. Automatically I looked offshore and separated nothing aside from a solitary green light, minute and distant, that may have been the finish of a dockâ⬠(Fitzgerald 21). Consistently Gatsby connects for the green light with the expectation that his ached for dream will at last materi alize. The green light is in East Egg and despite the fact that it is scarcely noticeable from his West Egg home he searches for it consistently and trusts it will some time or another be his future. Climate manages the characters activities in The Great Gatsby. Gatsby and Daisy rejoin with one another in the pouring rain.This speaks to the cumbersomeness of seeing each other once more. They become hopelessly enamored again in the reasonable climate when the sun starts to come out. This shows their relationship is blooming. Seasons likewise manage activities in The Great Gatsby. Tom Buchanan goes up against Jay Gatsby about his undertaking with Daisy in the warmth of the late spring. This is like the lethal experience among Mercuito and Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet. George Wilson murders himself and Gatsby when summer goes to fall. All in all, The Wilsons and Jay Gatsby never satisfy their fantasies of wealth.The Wilsons meet their fate similarly as the Valley of Ashes represents when George Wilson executes himself and Myrtle Wilson is a casualty in an attempt at manslaughter. Jay Gatsbyââ¬â¢s dream is never satisfied on the grounds that cash and distress control him. ââ¬Å"Gatsbyââ¬â¢s demise is realized by Daisy, who first lets him shield her and afterward deserts him; by Tom, who guides the hysterical Wilson to where he is to be found; and by Wilson himself-an agent of the debris dark men who comes to Gatsby, in his thwarted expectation, as an awful exemplification of the real factors which have slaughtered his dreamâ⬠(Dyson 65). For Tom and Daisy retreat again into their cash or their immense carelessnessâ⬠(Burnam 112). Tom Buchanan lets George Wilson trust it was Gatsby who had an unsanctioned romance with Myrtle and it was his vehicle who slaughtered her. Daisy Buchanan doesnââ¬â¢t care that she is the person who really murdered Myrtle, permitting Gatsby to assume the fault. The Buchanans keep on living behind a veneer, never permitti ng anybody to see their vacancy inside.They accuse their activities for other people, never assuming the fault. The Wilsons are not missed by anybody since their lives speak to those that are socially unaccepted. Scratch Carraway and Jordan Baker split up and Jordan gets connected with to another man. Scratch chooses to move back to the mid-west since he is tired of East Egg and its unfilled qualities. For each situation, area has isolated the characters monetarily, socially, and in the end characterized their destiny. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-35733115418939641902020-08-22T10:54:00.001-07:002020-08-22T10:54:30.654-07:00The Mighty Dung BeetleWhile most of the human populace shudders at the idea of ingesting excrement, the relentless fertilizer insect adapts to the situation, and utilizations the compost in one of a kind ways. Without fertilizer creepy crawlies, fields would be invaded with compost and flies-and parasites would run amuck. Iââ¬â¢m no master yet as per the Sustainable Parasite Management division at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, tenderly known as PU, the waste creepy crawly is advantageous to our condition. They help keep the dirt cleaner, lessen contamination and green growth development in our waters, and goes about as a natural pooper scooper for our domesticated animals ranches. First letââ¬â¢s start by distinguishing the various sorts of fertilizer creepy crawlies. These glade biscuit munchers are partitioned into three orders, Rollers, Tunnellers and Dwellers. The Rollers do only that.. they fold the prairie patties into smooth, round balls called brood balls. At that point they roll the brood balls away to a progressively alluring area. When the rollers locate the ideal area for their new dwelling place, they cover it into the ground. The female will lay a solitary egg into the brood ball and afterward coat and seal it with a blend of compost, salivation, and obviously, her own fecal issue. After the egg brings forth, the child excrement insect eats up the compost and lives in the brood ball until it arrives at development. At that point there are the Tunnellers. They delve burrows in the ground in profundities of between a couple of centimeters to 1 meter. This is huge enough for them to live and move around in. When the passage has been burrowed, they pull the compost in to the passage and spot it all through. Inside their new home is the place the female lays her eggs. Putting away the fertilizer underground helps keep it new and shields the developing children from predators and parasites. The remainder of the waste directors are the Dwellers who live on the field patty. The female lays her eggs on excrement heaps, and the whole improvement from egg to grown-up happens inside the heap. Occupants are littlest of the three and they appear to like dairy animals patties the best for raising a family. The grown-ups can be found in new, clammy droppings, while the infants are gradually developing in compost that is drying out. Since you know a little about the various sorts of fertilizer insects, letââ¬â¢s perceive how they are attracted to compost. Dr.à Patricia Richardson, Research Associate at the University of Texas, states, grown-up waste creepy crawlies are attracted to compost by smell. Many are species-explicit in that they favor a particular sort of creature fertilizer. Much the same as individuals scanning for the ideal home, the manure creepy crawly will fly up to ten miles looking for the perfect patty. They can assault excrement taps inside seconds after they drop. Some compost scarabs will even hitch a ride close to the tails of creatures fully expecting a store. When drawn by the scent, the grown-ups utilize the fluid substance of the fertilizer for their sustenance. Likewise; a solitary cow patty can pull in 60-80 grown-up flies. That would be a great deal of flies on the off chance that it were not for the serious compost bug. With the entirety of the rolling and burrowing and abiding of the fertilizer creepy crawly, flies and other destructive parasites donââ¬â¢t get an opportunity. Our general public isnââ¬â¢t the first to value the commitments of the manure creepy crawlies. The scarab is in the roller group of compost insects. That's right! The Egyptians have for quite some time been known to have an interest with the dropping tenants. Adornments has been made and carvings have been drafted in reverence of our powerful waste companions. In summation while the manure creepy crawly keeps the dirt cleaner, decreases contamination and green growth development in our waters, and goes about as a natural pooper scooper for our animals ranches, it is likewise critical to comprehend by expelling the compost pat from its unique area, this assists cut with bringing down on the fly populace which is pulled in to the fertilizer pat. By making burrows this will expand soil ability to assimilate and hold water. In this way one can perceive how the compost insect is essential to our condition. So in the event that you truly take a gander at it, the world would be a much smeller place in the event that it were not for the resolute endeavors of the fertilizer bugs. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-48862999266146092642020-08-21T08:36:00.001-07:002020-08-21T08:36:36.797-07:00Blog Archive GMAT Impact Too Many Decisions Can Drive You Crazy Blog Archive GMAT Impact Too Many Decisions Can Drive You Crazy When it comes to the GMAT, raw intellectual horsepower helps, but it is not everything. In this weekly blog series, Manhattan GMATâs Stacey Koprince teaches you how to perform at your best on test day by using some common sense. Have you ever experienced the âpanic stare? Thatâs when you stare at a problem for way too long without really doing anything besides thinking that you donât know what to do. Or you sit down to study, but youâre not sure where to begin, and so you take way too long to get started, while you shuffle your papers aimlessly. The more decisions we need to make, or the more options we have, the harder it is to act, or the more likely we are to act rashly or make snap decisions. Last year, the New York Times published an article on this topic entitled Do You Suffer From Decision Fatigue? During a test like the GMAT, decision fatigue can manifest as the âpanic stare,â or as a feeling of ânot caringâ any longer, so you begin to answer too quickly without checking your work or being careful. This can also happen while youâre studying. Thereâs a lot to study. Youâre having to make constant decisions: What am I going to study next? How am I going to study it? Should I write this down on a flash card? And this doesnât even include the decisions we have to make while answering the questions themselves! One of your tasks while studying is to figure out how to minimize the number of decisions that you have to make while taking the test. Hmm, I could do the problem this way or that way. Which way should I do itâ"how do I decide? Thatâs a great question to ask while youâre studying because then youâll be prepared to make a quick decision during the test. So, when youâre studying, think about ways that you can reduce the number of decisions that you need to make, and ways to make those decisions simpler. In general, yes/no or binary decisions are easier than decisions that require us to formulate actual sentences and complete thoughts. (For example, donât ask: Hmm, which difference should I examine first in this Sentence Correction problem? Instead, ask: Do I know how to deal with the specific difference Iâm looking at right now? Yes or no?) One more thing that might seem obvious now that youve read this: dont make a bunch of decisions about a lot of other random things on the same day before you take your real exam. Know what youre going to eat for breakfast, know how youre going to get to the exam centerâ"basically, decide everything ahead of time so that your brain is as fresh as possible for the start!

These inmates are classified as special offenders, which refers to inmates with behavioral issues that will need close supervision, specific treatment plans, and sometimes treatment outside the correctional facility (Seiter, 2011).

The criminal justice system and correctional system take responsibility for inmates upon sentencing and incarceration, so treatment for inmates with spec ial needs must be taken seriously and treatment must be offered no matter the cost. Substance-Abusing Inmates Inmates who suffer from substance abuse need just as much attention as inmates who suffer from a mental illness. There are different counseling and treatment options for inmates who are suffering from withdrawals and sobriety, but one organization is making a positive impact on prisoners during incarceration. The Residential Drug and Alcohol Program (RDAP) focuses on long-term inmates in federal prisons. RDAP provides services that typically cost $50,000 in society for free to inmates who are truly seeking to make a change while incarcerated (Federal Bureau of Prisons, 2013). RDAP mission is to rehabilitate prisoners by having them interact as they would in society in hope that upon release the preparation and lifestyle will be familiar and not cause a relapse in an inmateââ¬â¢s sobriety (Federal Bureau of Prisons, 2013).

The pressure difference between the blade pressure surface and the blade suction surface induces tip leakage flow, which increases heat transfer in the blade tip region. In this paper, the three dimensional flow and heat transfer are examined for an internally cooled blade cascade with tip injection using numerical technique. The three-dimensional turbulent flow was obtained by solving Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations and the energy equation. The Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ï · model was employed to represent turbulent flow. The cooling air is injected from eleven holes with 3 mm diameter arranged along the blade chamber line.

Typically more girls will report bullying than boys and will have more severe health problems as a result (Gruber Fineran ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-10063795275119432272020-05-05T17:21:00.001-07:002020-05-05T17:21:18.016-07:00Animal Experiments Ethics Controversy free essay sample Experiment In present-day society, it is a well-known fact that animal experiments are playing an increasingly key role in our lives, and it is advancing at an amazing speed. Its research results have completely changed our lives. But in the meantime, the animal experiments ethics controversy has sparked much debate. Many people think that for the survival and development of humans, animal experiments are necessary. While some people argue that life of animals and humans are equally important, they are against any form of animal experiments. In this essay, I will compare and contrast two typical opinions regarding this issue. Convincing arguments can be said that animal experiments are commonly used in medical research. In studies on investigation and prevention, human diseases play a huge role. To start with the role of medicine, using animals to test new drugs could help in understanding the effects and side effects of new drugs. We will write a custom essay sample on Animal Experiments Ethics Controversy or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Therefore, people donââ¬â¢t have to be test subjects, and can avoid the dangers of being these test subjects. Moreover, animal experiments in cloning human organs also have a new break through. For instance, people found that goats implanted with human stem cells have blood and organs similar to DNA of humans. Specifically, the main use of it is nurturing human organs in animalsââ¬â¢ bodies. One day when people are injured or sick, they will be able to directly replace organs. More importantly, through animal experiments, we can explore the mysteries of human lives. In other words, controlling the human diseases and aging, extending the lives of humans could be realized by animal experiments. For these reasons, some statistics show that biomedical research projects with more than 60% need to conduct animal experiments. There are many topic researches of animal experiments that are difficult. After years of research, animal experiments have saved countless lives, and it will continue to save more lives. Compelling arguments can be made that animal experiments play an irreplaceable important role in many other fields of science. In the first place, national defense and military science obviously rely on animal experiments. As we know, the first creature into space was not human, instead it was a dog. People did a lot of experiments with the dog in space, and thus gained a lot of data. Sensors were used to monitor her heartbeat, blood pressure, and other bodily functions to better understand any physical changes that might occur in space. In the second place, agricultural science, using animal experiments is very important and meaningful. Thus chemical fertilizers, pesticide residue testing, and quality of food, is eventually determined through the uses of animal experiments. Last but not least, in the area of light industry, peopleââ¬â¢s daily necessities, especially, the effects of chemical products are experimented on animals to test for harmful ingredients. For instance, before food additives, fur products, cosmetics, and so on, companies were required to conduct animal experiments to prove they were not harm to the human body. With the development of times, more and more fields need animal experiments. Maybe people havenââ¬â¢t noticed, but it has become an essential part of peopleââ¬â¢s daily lives. It may be tempting to argue that animal experiments are not fair. The main reason for this is that people think animals and humans have the same basic survival needs, and high levels of psychological needs. Obviously, animals and humans have the same rights to live in the world. We need to respect animals, respect lives. Another reason is some people think that animal experiments are too cruel. For example, Draize eye irritation test is used to measure the stimulating degree to human eyes of certain products. Rabbitââ¬â¢s are always used to do this kind of test, since they donââ¬â¢t have tears. People lock up these rabbits, open their eyes, and drop in the test substances. In order to get the best results, people will be forced to close their eyes. Moreover, after the experiments, all the rabbits will be killed, whether they are healthy or not. Even so, we should not do this in order to save animals lives instead we should sacrifice peopleââ¬â¢s lives. We canââ¬â¢t dent animal experiments, since it has some inadequacies. I believe that before we find a viable alternative, the majority of people would still support animal experiments. In summary, I would concede that we should protect animalsââ¬â¢ rights and welfare, try to reduce or stop animal experiments. Despite that in the present level of technology, the existence of animal experiments for the development of humans is very necessary. Overall, I am convinced that we should use the proper experimental design, and data analysis methods to reduce the use of experimental testing on animals in the existing conditions, and look for new alternatives actively. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-54652471358114504842020-04-10T03:37:00.001-07:002020-04-10T03:37:02.130-07:00Al Gore Essays - Bush Family, Vice Presidents Of The United States Al Gore Al Gore Running mate: Sen.

Democratic platform backs open trade, death penalty News-Journal Wire Services ST. LOUIS - Pushing a centrist agenda, the Democrats' platform committee drafted a statement of principles calling for open trade, teacher certification and continued support for the death penalty despite objections from liberal, education and labor interest groups. The policy positions dovetail with the agenda of Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic presidential candidate who also supports capital punishment despite growing debate nationwide about its fairness. Meeting Friday, the committee added an amendment to the death penalty plank in the party platform, calling for DNA evidence to be used when appropriate and for efforts to ensure defendants effective legal counsel, which is in line with Gore's view. Some believe serious consideration ought to be given to repealing the death penalty, said Gerald Shea, assistant to the president for government affairs of the AFL-CIO, citing differences of opinion on the committee. I think the party is committed to being tough on crime. The Democratic Party spent the past decade trying to shake a soft-on-crime image that Republicans promoted. Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Gore's Republican opponent, has come under fire for heading a state with the nation's highest number of executions: more than 130 since Bush took office in 1995. North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt, who oversees the draft committee, said he believes Democrats will support the stand. There are differences in the party about the death penalty, he said. But the vice president and I support it in certain cases. The draft committee will submit the document to the platform committee on July 29 in Cleveland. Democrats will weigh final approval during their national convention, Aug. 14-17, in Los Angeles. I believe it's a platform the Vice President Gore can run on, and it's a platform he can win on, said Hunt. Specifically: -On trade, the proposed policy does not address the issue of favored trade status for China, which has been a source of contention within the party and among big labor. But it encourages the need to aggressively open new markets in which to sell our goods - at home and abroad. Major industrial unions have opposed the context and tone of such language. Democrats included a pledge to educate American workers so that they can compete for jobs in a global economy. The platform also vows to protect human rights and the environment. It's not the kind of document we would write, said the Shea of the AFL-CIO, which has endorsed Gore. But in the context of it being an outside group's document, we ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-23222225756058777432020-03-09T17:29:00.001-07:002020-03-09T17:29:04.171-07:00Evaluate the Influence of Two Major Theories of Ageing on Health and Social Care Service Provision EssaysEvaluate the Influence of Two Major Theories of Ageing on Health and Social Care Service Provision Essays Evaluate the Influence of Two Major Theories of Ageing on Health and Social Care Service Provision Paper Evaluate the Influence of Two Major Theories of Ageing on Health and Social Care Service Provision Paper Occupational Therapy is influenced by The Activity Theory because it helps to promote independence. An OTââ¬â¢s typical day would be that they teach their patient a self-care task i. e. dressing, grooming or personal hygiene. They could also teach their patients therapeutic activities such as balance, coordination or a reaching task, or help them with a therapeutic exercise which helps to improve their flexibility, strength and movement. All of these tasks will aid the patient in their everyday life, making it easier for them to do the things they want this could be to brush their own teeth, use the restroom by themselves and even dress themselves without any help. An OT really helps to do this because they tailor their treatments to each patient they have. This helps the patient to get the most out of the treatment and rather than just get back their movements they had before they overall improve it with the treatments. An OT also promotes activities because it gets people back out after theyââ¬â¢ve had a stroke, illness or a fall doing the things that they loved and the things that they want to do. This also gets people socializing again because they are getting out and about and not staying cooped up inside their home, so therefore OT promotes social interaction as well as promoting activities. Occupational Therapy and the Disengagement Theory Occupational Therapy is influenced by The Disengagement Theory because people with may withdraw from society because they feel that they donââ¬â¢t need the therapy and/or they donââ¬â¢t want it. By them feeling like this they may not go to the treatments and as a result of this, their condition may get worse making them stay inside their home. For example, if a male resident had a fall and broke his arm he may be reluctant to get any treatment for it because he feels that he hasnââ¬â¢t ever needed a doctor before so he will be fine and it will heal. This may result in his arm getting stiff and the movements in his arm may be halved. This could make him feel stupid and embarrassed because he now canââ¬â¢t do things like he did before, making him want to stay inside and not participant in activities or social events. Care homes and The Disengagement Theory Care homes are influenced by The Disengagement Theory because they allow people to withdraw from society, they are primarily care based and only a few activities are put on in the care homes. Some examples of the activities they may put on are bowls and hoops. These activities may not interest all the residents which may make them stay inside as they canââ¬â¢t be bothered to come down just to watch or the activity may not accommodate for their needs so they may not be able to participate in the activity, this could make the resident feel stupid, embarrassed and lonely as they canââ¬â¢t get involved with the other residents. This in turn could make the resident not want to come out of their apartment at all because they havenââ¬â¢t got involved with anything in the past, they may feel less confident because they donââ¬â¢t know anyone very well. This may create potential barriers to social interactions between the residents within the care home. Care homes donââ¬â¢t promote independence very well either. This is because they are mainly care givers, however this isnââ¬â¢t all care homes just the majority. They donââ¬â¢t promote independence because they would normally give all the care, such as helping residents get dressed, bathe them, help them to go to the restroom and even help them to eat. Some residents may like this because it gives them an easy life but some residents wonââ¬â¢t have much of a choice because of their health or illness they may have. Care homes and The Activity Theory Care homes are influenced by The Activity Theory because some care homes such as Norah Bellot Court promote activities to get the residents involved and moving which allows the staff members to assess the health and wellbeing of the residents. Norah Bellot Court is more of a sheltered housing but Iââ¬â¢m going to use it as an example. They put on activities such as pool or snooker, bowls, hoops, the WII plus all the games they may have, book days and movie days. You can tell that the residents really like to get involved even when their health or illness does disable them from joining in they still come down to join in and share the company with the other residents. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-81339338150910188952020-02-22T07:56:00.001-08:002020-02-22T07:56:02.145-08:00An in-depth analysis of a Honduras Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 wordsAn in-depth analysis of a Honduras - Essay Example Honduras has a great historical figure. He is Florencio Xatruch who had led the countryââ¬â¢s armed forces and fought successfully against an attempted invasion by North American filibuster William Walker in 1857. A Honduran can be proudly called by the nickname of Catrocha or Catrocho which is inspiringly derived from the last name of Florencio. Every Honduran takes pride in being called with this nickname. Another noteworthy person hailing from Honduras to be mentioned is Salvador Moncada , one of the world famous scientists who has 12 highly cited papers to this credit. His research on heart related drugs includes the development of Viagra. Moncada works at the University College of London and funds an NGO in Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras. By virtue of the natureââ¬â¢s gift, Honduras is siuated conveniently in a land zone of biodiversity hot spot which is also known as the Mesoamerican region. This region extends from Southern Mexico to Panama and is famous for i ts diversity of species. Like other countries in the region, Honduras too has diverse biological resources and its indigenous cultures as well. As per the biological estimates, Honduras contains approximately 6000-8000 species of vascular plants and the number of reptiles and amphians species recorded so far is around 245.Birds can be between 650-700 species and mammal species are close to 110. Honduras is an embodiment of scenic beauty and natural attractions. 80% of the countryââ¬â¢s terrain consists of mountains. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-19825941135220946252020-02-06T00:43:00.001-08:002020-02-06T00:43:02.992-08:00Analyse an aspect of organisation using realist and relativists EssayAnalyse an aspect of organisation using realist and relativists perspectives - Essay Example The realist and relativist viewpoints can both lead to different perspectives and approaches which are a part of various types of business perspectives and organizational behaviors (Dwyer, 39: 2001). One of the aspects that are created from these perspectives is an understanding of how communication works within the internal structure of a business. This is essential for the success of the business as well as the way in which the corporation can continue to grow. From a realist viewpoint, there are specific ways of approaching communication, specifically by leaders and managers of a corporation. However, this is one which comes from the individual personality and understanding of diversity (Ng et al, 474-2006). The incorporation of this viewpoint first comes from a relativist viewpoint which allows individuals to begin practicing specific theories while trying to build an understanding of how to community. When examining this topic, there will be an analysis of how communication work s in the corporation through both viewpoints. This will be followed by a discussion of the literature and an organizational analysis that shows how specific corporations can use this element for their success or failure. Through these different analysis and reviews, there will be an understanding of how both viewpoints are required for communication to work in favor of the corporation. The concept of communication in the workplace is one which is first defined by the concept of the relativistic perspective. This states that everything is relative, or theoretical in nature. The relativism which is created in the workplace is one which is essential to notice, specifically because it is known to cause the main conflicts and disputes within a workplace. The lack of communication is one which is based on the perspective associated with a given organization.

Folklore also helps to explain natural phenomena, addressing the ââ¬Å"why?â⬠in order to coherently explain and help people cope with powerful events (again in the absence of science), often natural calamities.à (Burkert 112)à Burkert explains that such tales typically start with some human folly, often a broken taboo or conflict, link these to catastrophes (which are, in these peopleââ¬â¢s views, manifestations of evil), and explain how they are ultimately overcome.à Chains of human wrongdoing, dreadful consequences, and ultimate resolution, says Burkert, create ââ¬Å"a context of sense and [premise] a meaningful cosmos in which people can live in health and at ease. . . .â⬠à (Burkert 128)à Evil is attributed to supernatural agents aroused by human wrongdoing and brings punishment by the gods.à However, resolution does not always occur.à In tales akin to the story of Adam and Eve, whose misdeeds in Eden led to their expulsion from it, both the Ya o of east Africa and the Hopi of North America blame human misbehavior for driving God away from themselves.à (Novak 344-346) World views in oral/first traditions not only involve folklore, but they are also rooted in social hierarchies, since hierarchy serves as a means of ordering the world.à According to Burkert, this is virtually universal in world religions and early societies.à (Burkert 81)à In oral/first traditions, hierarchy involves not only simple subjugation to the powerful, such as humiliation and shows of deference, but also adherence to mutual obligations by superior and inferior alike.à These help create a stable, ordered society in which inferiors show deference to superiors and superiors are obligated to protect or otherwise assist those they dominate.à As Burkert asserts, ââ¬Å"Dominance makes possible forms of solidarity not easily encountered elsewhere. . . .â⬠à (Burkert 82)à Hierarchy also manifests in showing reverence for natural forces.à Again, Novakââ¬â¢s examples of the Sioux relationship to the bison and the Pawnee reverence for ââ¬Å"Mother Cornà ¢â¬ illustrates how oral/first religions clearly recognize their dependence on certain natural resources for their survival, and their world views often place the sources of their sustenance at the top of their hierarchies. (Novak 338-339, 363-372) Another key behavior in such traditions is reciprocal giving, which Burkert considers vital because it ââ¬Å"regulates the standards of justice . . . [and] is an unexceptionable expectation or even obligation of return.à Every gift demands a counter-gift.â⬠à In these societies, an unanswered gift is a serious taboo which violates the obligations inherent in hierarchies.à (Burkert 130)à Creating reciprocal obligations in such religions is a means of promoting peace and stability by strengthening mutual social bonds. Ritual often assumes a central place in oral/first traditions because it ââ¬Å"grows out of anxiety and is designed to control it.â⬠à (Burkert 36)à Rituals involve confronting some aspect of fear or pain in order to better cope with it, or to appease unseen forces.à One such common ritual is sacrifice (pars par toto, Latin for ââ¬Å"part for allâ⬠), which Burkert calls ââ¬Å"a manageable loss in order to gain salvation.â⬠à The author mentions ancient Greek sacrifices to hail (Burkert 34-37), while others involve bodily mutilations (such as finger sacrifice or severing hands).à Another fact of this is sacrificing scapegoats, usually social outsiders or individuals guilty of violating certain taboos. Scapegoats are sometimes blamed for arousing divine wrath, and their sacrifice is a means of restoring safety to a perilous situation.à He grounds this in biology, likening it to distracting predators by leaving behind an expendable part, like foxes gnawing off their paws to escape huntersââ¬â¢ traps.à (Burkert 41)à Similarly, Burkert considers ritual castration a means of defying biology: ââ¬Å"The illusion is that by renouncing procreation men may stay clear of the maelstrom of life and death.â⬠à (Burkert 48)à It is also a biological means of enforcing hierarchy, as seen with lower primates A less brutal aspect of this is the sacrificial feast (eating certain venerated foods) and ritualized killing of certain animals (intended to show the being reverence, as with the bison).à Life, according to Burkert, is ââ¬Å"a transient stability depending upon the ââ¬Ëjustââ¬â¢ exchangeâ⬠(Burkert 155), and showing respect for life-sustaining forces assumes crucial importance.à Another aspect of ritual is the oath, in which words are set in a ceremonial context in order to make them sacred and inviolate.à (Burkert 171-173) Another aspect of behavior in this milieu is the importance of signs, which help divine some aspect of the future, usually through the role of the shaman.à Shamans, who often attain their status through ceremonies or rituals, are basically the mediators between the natural and supernatural, capable of reaching an ecstatic state which gives them divine insights and lets them cross the boundaries that other members of these societies cannot. à An example is the Eskimo shaman, whom Novak claims can achieve a ââ¬Å"fit of mysterious and overwhelming delightâ⬠(Novak 355).à In this state, they may see signs by watching peopleââ¬â¢s behaviors, the weather, objects, and other phenomena in which the future may be divined. These signs basically comprise a kind of unwritten language for interpreting the world, and the shaman acts as a designated translator.à Other signs not limited to the shaman include body markings, such as scars, brands, tattoos, and tooth alteration, which set certain people apart and are not simply arbitrary choices or fashions.à These function as a language (often in the absence of a written language) with deep significance for those who embrace it. à à à à à à à à à à à Despite the commonalities one finds among early traditions, such as bonds to the natural world, the presence of shamans, and the importance of hierarchy and mutual obligation, conversion does not appear to be a matter one could take lightly.à In these societies, religion is not simply a set of doctrines which can be substituted for another, but a complex system of relationships to a specific group of people, physical environment, and body of folklore.à They are not rationalized as commonalities between cultures, since people in these societies seldom transplanted themselves lightly from one cultural cosmos to another.à For example, while first traditions all share similar creation stories, the nuances and elements of each will differ from one another, as will the rituals and signs associated with their religions.à Changing entire world views appears not to be a frivolous decision, since the world views in oral/first traditions are so intricate. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-36937475870670765002020-01-20T11:04:00.001-08:002020-01-20T11:04:03.272-08:00Genetically Modified Foods Essay -- GMOs, Genetically Modified CropsIntroduction Letââ¬â¢s face it, the term genetically modified (GM) foods is not the most appetizing word in the English language and neither is the term genetically engineered foods for that matter. Whether or not you realize it, you have consumed at least one product that contains genetically modified foods. These ââ¬Å"modified foodsâ⬠are hiding all over your supermarkets and in some instances, there is no way to tell just by looking at it. But, they have been around for more than two decades and it has helped to keep our food supply alive. The technological innovation that is genetically modified foods was first introduced during the early 1980s. It took nearly two decades of expensive research and development to move agricultural and food products from the lab and into your supermarkets (Weick & Walchi, 2002). The basic process of creating GM foods is to isolate the gene of a living organism and transfer them into a different living organism. This process is known as ââ¬Å"recombinant DNA or gene technologyâ⬠(Windley, 2008). This is done by cutting DNA from different organisms and joining them together. The loops of DNA that are naturally found in bacteria are cut with a restriction enzyme and then combined with a gene of interest. The technology allows plant breeders to produce crops with characteristics that can withstand diseases and insects. This paper will focus on the effects of genetically modified foods on producers, consumers, and the environment.

Women were still seen largely seen as the ââ¬Ëstay at home figureââ¬â¢. Due to this environmental impact, children were cared for in their own homes mainly by their mothers. Therefore there was less of a demand in the Early Childcare Education sector. This ended when children started attending Primary school. During the latter part of the Twentieth century, during the times of the Celtic Tiger, the number of job opportunities for women in the workforce escalated. This resulted in an increase in urbanisation and a decrease in family support. For example: Families lived further apart from each other, and as a result, it did not make sense to leave the children with their grandmother or other family members due to financial restrictions such as the price of fuel, or time restrictions such as the length of time taken to leave the children from oneà destination to the ot her. This lead to parents seeking the childminding services privately or within their local area. Statistics have shown that approximately 60% of children under six years of age attended a form of childcare service at this time. (Class Notes) There was a substantial increase in the demand for both private and community childcare services. In response to the rapidly increasing demand for childcare service, it was deemed necessary that an ââ¬ËExpert Working Group on Childcareââ¬â¢ was formed. The Expert Working Group came together and arranged a meeting to discuss ways to resolve the upcoming problems within the childcare services sector. They held discussions on how to make childcare services more readily available and accessible to families in Ireland. It was recognized at this point, that there was a need to develop a ââ¬ËNational Strategyââ¬â¢ to assist them with the transformation of the current childcare services sector. Thus, a National Strategy was developed and was published in 1999. The National strategy recognized and contained the following principles: ââ¬ËThe Needs and the rights of the child, Equality of access and participation, Diversity, Partnership and Qualityââ¬â¢ (Class Notes Page 2) It also contained suggestions and advice on support for parents/guardians, Laws relating childcare, Qualifications, Employment, Planning and Co-ordination. In 2002, the Centre for Early childhood development and Education was established. This centre was set up to develop standards and to improve the childcare sector. The Centre for early Childhood Development and Education aimed to ensure that every childcare setting (whether it was a Full-time / Part-time service or a Public / Private service); met the criteria and quality standards that that were established by the Centre. The main objective of the Centre for Early childhood development and Education was to focus on improving more disadvantaged are as as well as the more advantaged areas so as to ensure that all areas within the childcare sector offered the same quality of services In 2006, ââ¬ËSioltaââ¬â¢ was launched. Siolta was set up to implement the first aim of the Centre for Early Childhood Development and Education which was to develop the current standards within the childcare sector. This was called ââ¬ËThe National Quality Framework for Early Educationââ¬â¢. This ensured that there was support in improving quality across all childcare services which contained children from 0-6 years of age. Further to this, in 2009, a new scheme was introduced within the Childcare sector. The Early Childcareà Education scheme ââ¬ËFree pre-school placeââ¬â¢ was formed. The free pre-school place enabled children within the age range of 3 years and 3 months and 4 years 6 months in September of the relevant year to engage in one free academic year within a full time or seasonal service. If a childcare service/ centre wanted to take part in the Early Childcare Education scheme, the criteria set out by Siolta had to be met and furthermore the Principles set by An Siolta would have to be implemented within their current childcare setting. It is important to recognize that this is the first time that Early childhood education has received any direct Universal funding. As a result of the free pre-school place initiative, the demand within the childcare sector continued to grow. (Siolta) More recent developments within the childcare sector include the introduction of a new initiative called ââ¬ËAistearââ¬â¢, which was established by the Department of Education and Skills through NCCA in 2010. Aistear from the Irish word meaning ââ¬Ëjourneyââ¬â¢, is of relevant importance to childcare settings where children from the ages of 0-6 years receive their care and education. Aistear works closely alongside Siolta and consists of an informal curriculum that contains twelve principles and themes that give guidance to the childcare worker. Aistear recognizes that education and care are not separate within the childcare sector and they aim to help children grow and develop independently.(Aistear) b) Current range of childcare provision in Ireland Six types of services that can be categorised under sessional and fulltime services are: Naà onraà ââ¬â A Naà onraà is a sessional service. It organises and communicates with the playgroup through the medium of Irish, they recognise each child as individuals. The service doesnââ¬â¢t put pressure on children to speak Irish, they still encourage and support children either way. As the children are surrounded in Irish they will gradually pick up and learn the language in their own time. The service is recognised by Forbairt Naà onraà . Parent and toddler groups ââ¬â This is a sessional service and is supported by Early Childhood Ireland. Parents and their children/toddlers meet in one area, often held in one of the parent houses who are taking part in the service. It gives children the opportunity to gain the experience of interacting with others, therefore promoting and developing the childââ¬â¢s social skills. It also gives parents the opportunity to intera ct with otherà parents, gaining support of each other. Montessori pre-schools ââ¬â The pre-school is usually privately run, it develops its curriculum around the methods of Dr Maria. The Montessori focuses mainly on the childââ¬â¢s educational development, its curriculum is therefore more practical based, isnââ¬â¢t fully focused on play. This action of purely practical based education may be scrutinised by certain individuals as it thought by some theorists that children should experience and develop through the experience of play at this young age. The pre-school functions on academic year and mainly cares for children from three to six years of age. Home and community playgroups ââ¬â Home and community playgroups care for children within the age range of 2 and a half to five years of age, they operate in either a home or community basis. Home playgroups are generally privately funded where as community playgroups receive funding from the government, each service usually opens and runs for a period of three to four hours each day. The service highlights and develops childrenââ¬â¢s social and emotional learning through play. Crà ¨ches, Nurseries and Day care services ââ¬â These services are recognised as a fulltime service and cater for children from the age of approximately three months to five years of age. They are open at a minimum of eight hours a day and usually provide a day-to-day curriculum. The services can be privately or publicly run, an increase in demand for these services greatly increased after the Free Pre-School Year was introduced. Each service provides the children attending the service with a hot meal and snacks during the duration of the day. Each service helps met the childââ¬â¢s safety, welfare and developmental needs. They also help children make the best of their abilities, whether that be through play or practical learning. Family Day Care ââ¬â Children are looked after in the childminders home. There is no specific age group that Family Day Care caters for, they can cater for all different age groups at once in the same facility. The hours that the carer caters for the children is arranged between the childââ¬â¢s parent and the carer. The children become easily settled in this form of day care as they are only interacting and building a relationship with one adult with the service. The children are provided with snacks and possibly hot meals, depending on the length of time the child is attending the service. The service is supported and recognised by Childminding Ireland. c) Current range of roles in childcare support organisations and agencies Health Service Executive (HSE) ââ¬â is the first service contacted when there is a serious concern involving a child safety or family issue , the Health Service Executive then has the responsibility of bringing services and agencies together to help resolve the concerned matter. The Health Service Executive provides services that helps protect and support children, parents/guardians and families. There are many roles within the Health Service Executive, they include: Family support worker ââ¬â The Family support worker offers support and supplies services to familyââ¬â¢s going through emotionally distressing times. The Family Support Worker tries to keep families remained together unless there is a family member deemed at serious risk if kept together. Some of the services that The Family Support Worker will supply to the family to try help resolve the issues are, ââ¬Å"Parenting Skills, Confidence and Personal Development, Home Care management, Diet, Nutrition and Health Care, Budgeting and family Financeâ⬠. (Class notes page 4) Community Childcare Worker ââ¬â The Community Childcare Worker works alongside professionals to give support to children who are in disadvantaged families, deemed at risk, deprived or in care. The Community Childcare Worker also helps children deal with or come to an understanding of why they are in that care home. Social Worker ââ¬â works with problematic families and individuals, The Social Worker helps resolve problems in families whether that is emotional, behavioural or social problems. Social Workers also deal with problems such as child abuse, domestic violence, and adoption. Before removing children from their home and separating families social worker s have to prove that they have gave families every option possible, if the family /parents does not comply with any of the options, the matter continues to rise and the child/children are still recognised at risk then the case is taken to court and assessed by a Judge whether the child/children should be removed from the family home, thus action is seen as a last resort. Barnardos ââ¬â Barnardos is Irelandââ¬â¢s biggest childrenââ¬â¢s charity. It is focused on working with children and families on, whether that be group work or one-on-one interaction. Barnardos help children make the best of their abilities when going through difficult situations, such as neglect, abuse,à or poverty. They provide a range of services to help families through distressing timeââ¬â¢s i.e counselling, and bereavement help lines. Barnardos also protest against Government laws that affect children and their way of living e.g. child benefit cuts. d) Six National Childcare organisations Barnardos ââ¬â Barnardos is Irelandââ¬â¢s biggest childrenââ¬â¢s charity, it is mainly focused on working with children and families. Barnardos provide a range of services to help assist and support families through distressing times, they also help children make the best of their abilities whilst going through or have gone through difficult times e.g. neglect. Childminding Ireland- is a registered Charity and was created in 1986. It was created by a small group of childminders that further grew into a bigger organisation. The organisation promotes home-based childcare. Forbairt Naà onraà Teoranta ââ¬â is a voluntary organisation which supports education and care for children from birth who are brought up in Irish. St.Nicholas Montessori Society of Ireland ââ¬â Provide opportunities for Montessori teachers to further their profession. They also offer help, support and give guidance for Montessori teachers. The Irish Society for the prevention of Childrenââ¬â¢s Cruelty ââ¬â Provide a 24hour support service for children who are going through a difficult situations. States that id high quality childcare service wants to keep their service high quality, then the service must ensure that there is good child protection within the facility. The organisation also recognises children are individuals and therefore the childââ¬â¢s right s and values should be supported. Border Counties Childcare Network ââ¬â Is a network that services in counties such as Monaghan, Meath, Louth, Cavan, Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim in helping deliver a childhood service of high quality. LO4: Clear explanation the rights of the child in the context of an ECCE setting. A) Examine the UN convention on the Rights of the Child. The UN convention on the Rights of the Child has 54 articles. Theseà fifty-four articles are a written list of the different types of the childââ¬â¢s rights, if those rights are intentionally broken it is seen as breaking the law. The UN convention on the Rights of the child can be broken into four broad areas, these four areas are ââ¬â Survival, Development, Protection and Participation. Survival ââ¬â The child has a right to life and the right to the basic requirements to survive life e.g. food, water, shelter, clothing, medical aid. Development ââ¬â The child has a right to education, religion, play, develop the identification of right and wrong and leisure. The child also has the right to be provided with a safe environment to develop these skills and knowledge. Protection ââ¬â The child has the right to be protected against abuse and neglect. If a child has come in interference with and suffered from abuse then the child has the right to some form of counselling to come to an understanding and overcome the traumatic situation. Participation ââ¬â The child has the right to join organisations e.g. clubs, groups, freedom of expression and speech. Standard 1: Right of the child. ââ¬Å"Ensuring that each childââ¬â¢s rights are met, requires that she/he is enabled to exercise choice and to use initiative as an active participant and partner in her/his own development and learning.â⬠(Siolta page 13) Component 1.1 ââ¬â Choice for the child Practitioners could put component 1.1 into practice at meal time. By giving the child the options at meal time, this could be achieved by giving the child the choice of two different meals therefore enabling the child to make its own choices. If a child decides they do not want to eat at meal time the practitioner should respect the childââ¬â¢s decision. By having different utensils available at meal time e.g. chopsticks, this provides choice for the child. The child can then make the choice on what they want to eat there meal with. Component 1.2 ââ¬â Use initiative A practitioners could put component 1.2 into practice with a child from twelve ââ¬â thirty-six months by providing the opportunity of letting the child out on its coat independently, enabling the child to zip or buttonà the coat. The practitioner should talk the child through the process, encourage the child as she/he is trying to overcome and accomplish the task and support the child if he/she comes into difficulty. Component 1.3 ââ¬â active participants A practitioner could put component 1.3 into practice with a child from birth to eighteen months by viably communicating. While/when the practitioner is changing the childââ¬â¢s nappy he/she could viably communicate to the child and make eye contact whilst changing its nappy. The practitioner could also sing nursery rhymes and act out movements to the child e.g. three little pigs, touching the childââ¬â¢s toes whilst singing the rhyme. This makes the child feel comfortable and an active participant throughout the activity. LO2: Detained description of the qualifications and experience needed for work associated with one occupation in the ECCE sector. a) Outline legislations, policies, practices and procedures pertaining to ECCE provision. Childcare Act 1991 Provides asset of rules relating to children/young adults under the age of eighteen in Ireland, it governs the care and protection of children in Ireland. (Classnotes) Due to this legislation the Health Service Executive has a mandatory duty to promote and protect the wellbeing of all children under this act. Children who are being abused or at risk, this Act allows those children to be removed or be placed under the care of the Health Service Executive. In relation to preschool services the Act is consulted with when rules and regulations are being drawn up for the supervision of children of pre-school services. Under the Act the pre-school carers have a responsibility and duty to implement safety and wellbeing of children under their pre-school setting. If the pre-school carer has concern for a childââ¬â¢s safety health it is their responsibility to notify the Health Service Executive. If a new pre-school setting is being set up or is intending to set up the local Health Service Executive must be notified. The Health Service Executive then has a duty to inspect the pre-school setting toà ensure the health and safety standards of the setting are being met. The rules and regulations drawn up from the Act must be strictly followed by the practitioners. Childcare (preschool services) Regulations 2006 The regulation outlines the standards that a preschool setting of any form must put/have in place before it can commence e.g. all forms of health, safety and welfare of the setting must be put in place to ensure full safety of the child is being met. It is the Health Service Executiveââ¬â¢s duty for inspecting and giving a report of information on pre-schools of any sort or kind who care for children from the age of zero-six years of age. The regulation is arranged in six parts ââ¬â thirty-three regulations and can be broadly covered over the following areas: ââ¬Å"Health, welfare and development of the child Notification and inspection by the Health Service Executive Record keeping Standard of premises and facilities General administrationâ⬠(class notes) Policies and procedures must be drawn up and developed from these points. Children First 1999 Children First was first made available in the year 1999 but was later replaced with Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children 2011. The general rule of the document was left unchanged but acknowledges past inspections and reports and feedback, due to this the document had been edited to set out distinctive guidelines that individual roles should take is concerned for a childââ¬â¢s health, safety and welfare. Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children 2011 main aims are to ensure childrenââ¬â¢s health safety and welfare are being constantly met. That society are aware that they should not assume but should report any concerns regarding a childââ¬â¢s health and safety and realise that it is their responsibility to put this action into place. The legislation provides advise/support for parents/guardians in regards to their role as a parent/carer. Inspections made by the ââ¬ËDepartment of Education and Scienceââ¬â¢ will take place through-out schools of all sorts toà reinforce and ensure that the new legislation is being enforced. Siolta Siolta is made up of twelve principals, sixteen standard and seventy-five components. The twelve principals provide the base of the frame work. Without the principals the components wouldnââ¬â¢t be able to be put in place. The principals give direction for childcare workers on how they should carry out their work in an Early Childhood Care and Education environment, how to interact and communicate with children and fillies, how subjects should be taught and how the services that the childcare worker works in should be organised. The twelve principles contain: Equality ââ¬â is a necessary aspect to have in a childcare setting, it is essential every child feels equal. Diversity- Every childcare setting should recognise that each child comes from very different backgrounds. It is the childcares settings responsibility to confirm that they understand, respect and accommodate this with visual aids e.g. posters, dolls from different ethnic backgrounds, chopsticks in the home area ec t. Environment- The physical layout of the setting should be organised to meet, encourage and develop the childââ¬â¢s abilities so the child can reach their full potential. Welfare- The childââ¬â¢s health, safety and welfare is essential and should be met as much as it possibly can be e.g. if a child has chicken pockââ¬â¢s, that child should be removed to a room where no other children are present the childââ¬â¢s parents should be contacted and the child shouldnââ¬â¢t return until it has cleared to prevent it infecting other children. The role of the adult- The adult working in the setting has a responsibility to make sure the child is making the most of their experience and are reaching full potential while in that adults company. Teamwork-Good communication and respect should be shown and practised in settings between the various workers in the setting. If there isnââ¬â¢t respect among workers, there wonââ¬â¢t be good teamwork skills therefore the children present in that company will pick up on the negative energy and put what they have picked up on into practice. Pedagogy- The study and theory of the methods and principals of teaching should be put in place in early childhood care and education through holistic play, as this is the most appropriate method of learning for children of that age range. Play-Should be promoted, as it is an essential part in a childââ¬â¢s developmentà whether that be physical or theory learning. Sioltas sixteen standards are essential and necessary in services as it give guidance for workers within the service, IT gives guidance on how to act, provide and develop services with the setting. The standards contain various elements such as the various elements such as the childââ¬â¢s rights to the legislation and regulation. Itââ¬â¢s from the sanders that the seventy-five components are made up. The components help meet the standard. Without the sixteen standards and seventy-five components the knowledge of the twelve principals wouldnââ¬â¢t be able to be put in place as effectively. Siolta was created to improve the way childcare is taught, organised, carried out and viewed in the Early Childhood Care and Education settings who cater for children from the age range of birth to six years of age. It ââ¬Å"defines, assess and supportsâ⬠these improvements. Early Childhood Care and Education settings and services taking part in the free school year must implement Siolta, making more demand for the service. (siolta) Aistear Aistear, was established by the Department of Education and Skills through NCCA in 2010. Aistear from the Irish word meaning ââ¬Ëjourneyââ¬â¢, is of relevant importance to childcare settings where children from the ages of 0-6 years receive their care and education. Aistear works closely alongside Siolta and consists of an informal curriculum that contains twelve principles and themes that give guidance to the childcare worker. Aistear recognizes that education and care are not separate within the childcare sector and they aim to help children grow and develop independently. (Aistear) The manager The manager is required to have a minimum level 7/8 qualification in childcare, they have to manage the day-to-day routine of the preschool setting, ensuring that the developmental needs, safety and wellbeing of each individual child are being met. The manager may also be required to work unsocial hours and must attend to relevant meetings. The manager also has the responsibility to ensure the child protection policy is being implemented within the setting, recording and concerns and also ensuring high sanders of safety are being maintained at all times. (Class notes) The Childcare assistant The Childcare assistant is required to have a minimum of a level 5 qualification in childcare and previous experience is required. They assist in the day-to-day organisation and preparation of the childcare setting. The Childcare assistant must maintain all personal information of the individual children as confidential and at times have to work unsocial hours. The assistant must ensure the children within their care are receiving high standards of care, safety and wellbeing whilst also ensuring the developmental need of the children are being met accurately. The Childcare Assistant will have to at times participate in fundraising activities, special events and outings. They must strictly follow the Child Protection policy and report any concerns. (class notes) The Playgroup Leader The Playgroup Leader is required to have a minimum of a level 5 qualification in childcare and previous experience in childcare is required. The Playgroup Leader is required to manage the day-to-day routine of the playgroup. The playgroup leader has the responsibility to ensure the safety, wellbeing and developmental needs of the children are being continually being met. They must keep all personal information regarding the children within the service, childrenââ¬â¢s family and staff strictly confidential. Must strictly follow and promote the Child Protection Policy, ensuring high standers of hygiene and quality are being promoted within the setting. Organise regular meetings with parents throughout the year. Must regularly carry out appraisal on the staffââ¬â¢s performance, make sure all staff and volunteers have guard vetting. Must try to obtain good staff more and show respect to other staff members. Special Needs Assistant A Special Needs Assistant must have a minimum level5 qualification in childcare. Must ensure that all personal information regarding children or staff they work with remains confidently then it should be reported. Must strictly follow the Child Protection Act and make sure the developmental needs of the child are being met. The assists are recruited to help assistà and support children with special needs or difficult behaviour problems in schools. The assistants engage regularly with the parents of the special needs child, they also participate in fundraising activities, special events and outings to further help the child or children with special needs. Montessori teacher Must have a minimum level5 qualification in childcare. Must strictly follow the Child Protection Act and make sure the developmental needs of the child are being met, ensuring high standards of hygiene and quality are being promoted within the setting. A Montessori has the responsibly to provide opportunities for children so they can figure out how to do something for themselves. Must observe children within the setting and comment on their development. They provide challenging tasks for the children, so they make the best of their abilities. Organise meetings with the parents throughout the year. Detailed description of the qualifications and experience needed for work associated with on occupation in the ECCE sector. One occupation in the Early Child Care and Education sector I have chose to further evaluate on is the pre-school manager. The pre-school manager has many roles and responsibilities such as: Being strictly confidential within and outside the Early Childhood Care and Education setting in relaxation to keeping personal information about the children, their family and also the staff. Ensuring when planned activities are taking place that each individual childââ¬â¢s developmental needs are being met. Making sure that every area and all facilities of the Early Childhood Care and Education setting are being met to Sioltas standards. Has the role of preparing and creating curriculum plans for the staff to carry out in the Early Childhood Care and Education setting. Making sure that there is good staff morale, resolving any issues that arise promptly and effectively Making sure that there the Child Protection policy is being promoted and that the policy is being firmly stuck to. If any concerns are arisen then the manager must document and record this. Organise meetings with parents throughout the year to inform them and discuss such things as the childââ¬â¢s progression and alsoà adhering to any concerns raised by the parents. It is also a role and responsibility of the manager to prepare and organise special event and outings for the children attending the Early Childhood Care and Education setting. ( class notes) The preschool manager must have a minimum qualification of level of seven/eight in childcare.This qualification can be obtained in most ITââ¬â¢s. The duration of study that it would take to obtain this would be approximately three to four years depending on the level of qualification. To then further become a pre-school manager the level of experience the individual would need to have would depend on the Early Childhood Care and Education setting. Generally the minimum experience needed by the individual would be approximately two ââ¬â four years. It would be appropriate that the individual had experience as a supervisor before becoming a pre-school manager. Employment and Career Opportunities in Childcare Funding that is made available to state to childcare services, such as the Equal Opportunities Childcare Programme, the Early Childhood Care and Education Scheme / Free Pre-School year and Community Childcare Solovention scheme make the option of childcare services more appealing and therefore increase the demand for childcare services. As a result of the increased demand for childcare services, the demand for employment opportunities also increases. The Early Childhood care and Education Scheme / Free Pre-school year (FPSY) was introduced in 2009. The scheme recognized the importance of qualifications within the childcare sector and as a result it introduced a minimum qualifications standard for pre-school leaders. An important feature of the scheme is that it offers more funding for better qualified staff and because of this feature it can increase or decrease an individualââ¬â¢s employment opportunities e.g. if an individual applied for a particular position in which the state requires the potential employee to hold a Level 7 qualification, and the candidate did not hold a Level 7 qualification,à that candidate will most likely not get the position as a result as their employment would not benefit the pre-school. The Community Childcare Subvention Scheme is a support scheme that was set up to aid and support non-profit childcare services/centres. This scheme does not support profit childcare services. The schemes main focus is to help the non-profit childcare services. This scheme allows non-profit childcare services to provide their services at a lower rate, which enables children with disadvantaged parents the opportunity to attend childcare services. Each Community based service that takes part in the Community Childcare scheme, has the responsibility to make a guideline available of the different rates for each type of service that they offer to parents. There are four types of fee rates available; and the parent/guardian will be offered the rate depending on what price band or category they fall into based on their individual financial situation. This scheme enables more access to all types of parents and therefore increases the demand for childcare services and effectively increases employment opportunities. Special Needs Assistant ââ¬â Due to the downturn in the Irish Economy, there have been substantial cuts in Special Needs Assistants. It has been revealed that approximately 1200 Special needs assistant positions will be cut in the near future. (Class notes) If this happens, there will be a sharp decrease in the amount of employment opportunities available within the childcare sector. It is also thought that as a result of the cuts, individuals that currently hold a Level 7/8 qualification may not be willing to apply for job opportunities that become available due to the poor pay conditions and low status of the childcare positions. Progression of qualifications within the childcare sector e.g. achieving a Level 5 and progressing to a Level 6, Level 7 and Level 8 qualification is becoming more important to childcare workers to help them increase their employment opportunities. The better the qualification that a childcare worker obtains means they have a higher chance of securing employment within the childcare sector. E.g. If an advertisement is published in a newspaper for a childcare position, and an individual that holds a Level 5 appliesà while also an individual what holds a Level 8 qualification also applies, the individual with the higher qualification i.e. the Level 8 qualification, will have a higher chance of getting the position. After obtaining a Level 8 qualification i.e. A Degree in childcare, which is generally obtained over a three year period, there is a career opportunity to continue to study towards a Primary school teaching qualification. A further two years of study in Teacher training is also required before obtaining a qualification as a Primary school teacher. After achieving a minimum of a Level 7/8 qualification, there is also the opportunity to become a manager within a childcare setting. An individual seeking to further their career or who wishes to pursue a career in management would also need sufficient experience within the early childcare and education setting to secure a higher position. This career opportunity can only become available for the individual if they have obtained a Level 7/8 qualification. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-73500910776758425362020-01-04T03:52:00.001-08:002020-01-04T03:52:03.643-08:00Use a Periodic Sentence to Create Suspense A periodic sentence is a long and frequently involved sentence, marked by suspended syntax, in which the sense is not completed until the final word ââ¬â often with an emphatic climax. This is also called aà period or a suspended sentence.à Professor Jeanne Fahnestock notes in Rhetorical Style that the distinction between periodic and loose sentences begins with Aristotle, who described types of sentences on the basis of how tight or how open they sounded. Etymology Periodic is from the Greek for going around or circuit. Examples and Observations P.G.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius. E.B. White, Stuart Little In the loveliest town of all, where the houses were white and high and the elms trees were green and higher than the houses, where the front yards were wide and pleasant and the back yards were bushy and worth finding out about, where the streets sloped down to the stream and the stream flowed quietly under the bridge, where the lawns ended in orchards and the orchards ended in fields and the fields ended in pastures and the pastures climbed the hill and disappeared over the top toward the wonderful wide sky, in this loveliest of all towns Stuart stopped to get a drink of sarsaparilla.

It is as if a hungry man, set before a banquet prepared by master cooks and covering a table an acre in area, should turn his back upon the feast and stay his stomach by catching and eating flies. Dylan Thomas, A Childs Christmas in Wales Years and years ago, when I was a boy, when there were wolves in Wales, and birds the color of red-flannel petticoats whisked past the harp-shaped hills, when we sang and wallowed all night and day in caves that smelt like Sunday afternoons in damp front farmhouse parlors, and we chased, with the jawbones of deacons, the English and the bears, before the motor car, before the wheel, before the duchess-faced horse, when we rode the daft and happy hills bareback, it snowed and it snowed. Saul Bellow, Mr. Sammlers Planet And even in the old days, in the days when he was British, in the lovely twenties and thirties when he lived in Great Russell Street, when he was acquainted with Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey, and H. G. Wells and loved British views, before the great squeeze, the human physics of the war, with its volumes, its vacuums, its voids (that period of dynamics and direct action upon the individual, comparable biologically to birth), he had never much trusted his judgment where Germans were concerned. Samuel Johnson, Preface to Shakespeare Upon every other stage, the universal agent is love, by whose power all good and evil is distributed, and every action quickened or retarded. To bring a lover, a lady, and a rival into the fable; to entangle them in contradictory obligations, perplex them with oppositions of interest, and harass them with violence of desires inconsistent with each other; to make them meet in rapture and part in agony; to fill their mouths with hyperbolical joy and outrageous sorrow; to distress them as nothing human ever was distressed; to deliver them as nothing human ever was delivered, is the business of a modern dramatist. James Boswell, The Life of Samuel Johnson ââ¬Å"Addisonââ¬â¢s style, like a light wine, pleases everybody from the first. Johnsonââ¬â¢s, like a liquor of more body, seems too strong at first, but, by degrees, is highly relished; and such is the melody of his periods, so much do they captivate the ear, and seize upon the attention, that there is scarcely any writer, however inconsiderable, who does not aim, in some degree, at the same species of excellence.â⬠Suspended Syntax and Balancing Acts Richard A.à Lanham, A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms Generally speaking, one might say that theà periodà expresses a complete thought self-sufficiently; beyond this, it must have at least two members...Periodic sentence is a very rough English equivalent; it describes a long sentence that consists of a number of elements, often balanced orà antithetical, and existing in perfectly clear syntactic relationship to one another. The phrase suspendedà syntax is often used to describe it, since the syntactical pattern, and so the sense is not completed, is suspended, until the end. Richard A. Lanham, Analyzing Prose The periodic stylist works with balance, antithesis, parallelism and careful patterns of repetition; all these dramatize a mind which has dominated experience and reworked it to its liking. It is tempting to say that the periodic style humanizes time and we can say this, so long as we remember that to go with the flow is as human as to oppose it... Periodic Sentences in Classical Rhetoric James J. Murphy, A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric Isocrates style is particularly characterized by the use of the periodic sentence, a style still recommended today as a means to achieve emphasis. Periodic sentences are formed by a series of clauses that build to the main clause, leading to a climactic effect. Here is an example of the periodic sentence from Isocrates political treatise Panegyricus: For when that greatest of all wars broke out and a multitude of dangers presented themselves at one and the same time, when our enemies regarded themselves as irresistible because of their numbers and our allies thought themselves endowed with a courage which could not be excelled, we outdid them both in a way appropriate to each. Periodic Style vs Cumulative Style Theresa Jarnagin Enos,à Encyclopedia of Rhetoric and Composition A periodic style is usually described as compact and as being characterized by suspended syntax. In a periodic sentence, subordinate elements precede the main clause of the sentence; a periodic style is dominated by such constructions... A periodic style is contrasted with a style variously described as free-running, cumulative, or loose. The use of a free-running style reflects the combining and intermingling of multiple thoughts, one upon the other, and gives the impression that a writer is exploring ideas; the main clause of a loose sentence comes first, and less important details and qualifications follow. A periodic style, on the other hand, is marked by periods and denotes a refinement and a controlled emphasis on the part of the writer. William Strunk, Jr., The Elements of Style The proper place in the sentence for the word or group of words that the writer desires to make most prominent is usually the end. Suspended Sentence Patterns Kristin Dombek, Critical Passages: Teaching the Transition to College Composition Ask students to look at a writing exercise or essay theyve written, and to mark the most important sentence in each paragraph. Ask them to look for places where that sentence might be better placed either at the beginning or end of the paragraph and to think about why. Then ask them questions to help them reflect on the patterns they see: Are you a cumulative or a periodic thinker? What effect does it have when the controlling sentence, with the most important information and thinking, comes at the beginning of a paragraph? At the end? Advantages and Disadvantages of Periodic Sentences Andrew Dousa Hepburn, Manual of English Rhetoric The periodic structure promotes energy, as it preserves the unity of the sentence and concentrates its strength in a single point. But it has an artificial appearance; it is unfitted for some kinds of composition, and its frequent recurrence is always disagreeable. It is not easy, without more help than the English language furnishes, to enable readers to retain in their minds the members of a complex thought, and at the close bind them easily and promptly into unity. To prevent obscurity and overtasking the attention, superfluous words and thoughts should be excluded from a period, and the members and clauses should be few and short. In arranging the clauses of the members, the same rule must be followed that governs the arrangement of the members of the period; the reader must not be led to suppose that the sentence is finished until it actually is so. When this rule is neglected, a period has the tediousness and feebleness of a badly constructed loose sentence. Sources 1 Corinthians.

Discussions and written matter, all correspondence, emails and documents exchanged between parties should be prepared with a thought to potential litigation. Attorney Client Privilege and the Work Product Doctrine are two separate and distinct issues and should be treated within the legal world as separate disclosures. Attorney Client Privilege, which originated in Roman and canon law, has evolved into a recognized judicial doctrine and is necessary in order to provide clients with access to effective, well informed counsel. In Upjohn Co. v US the Supreme Court the Courtâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Prior to a corporation or its employees taking action, it usually requires an informed legal advice. Legal direction may be either taken or dismissed; the point is that in order to provide an informed decision counsel and its direct reports are provided with confidential information. Counsel reviews the confidential information and provides an opinion on the issue. This opinion may or may not support the legality of a matter and the company may or may not act because of the information provided, however, the confidentiality of the initial information provided, the attorneyââ¬â¢s thought process, as well as all reasoning associated with this process needed to be retained as confidential. Particularly when a corporation has in-house counsel, counsel may wear two hats. Not only is the counsel required to provide legal information, some with expert business sense, is asked to provide operational and directional advice. Corporate counsel usually holds more than one title; (in addition to those of General Counsel, Corporate Counsel, Associate Corporate Counsel, etc.) they may also hold the title of an Officer of the company (e.g. Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, Vice President, Secretary, etc.) Counsel needs to be able to separate these titles to ensure that the General Counselââ¬â¢s Work Product andShow MoreRelatedClient Attorney Privilege : The Code Of Silence940 Words à |à 4 Pages Client attorney privilege is describes the code of silence that is a legally recognized right of the client to tell his attorney anything and the attorney will can not disclose this privileged communication.

It can be transmitted by means of saliva, nasal secretions, feces and blood. It can also be spread by coming in contact with the virus on contaminated surfaces. Influenza is responsible for an average of 36,000 deaths and for more than 226,000 hospitalizations each year in the United States. (Davidson, 2007-2009, Davis, 2007). Influenza viruses are divided into three classes. These are A, B, and C. Influenza A and B are blamed for the increases in hospitalization and deaths each year. The aim of receiving an annual vaccine is to prevent spreading infections. Since flu outbreaks vary, it is recommended that individuals receive a vaccination for the fluâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Additionally, as many as 500,000 chicken eggs per day are needed for the process. Influenza viruses are injected into chicken egg embryos, where they are allowed to incubate and multiply for several days. A machine extracts the virus from the egg, which is then purified and chemically killed and made into the vaccine. (Tenpenny, 2008, Davidson, 2007-2009, Offit, 2008). It takes about eight months for the vaccines to be developed using chicken eggs. If another pandemic were to arise, we would not have access to the vaccines for at least eight months. Moreover, once the vaccines are made, they must be used. Vaccines that are not used cannot be stored and must be destroyed because the vaccines break down. The vaccines do include the three influenza viruses; two against different strains of type A, and one against the type B virus. (Tenpenny, 2008, Davidson, 2007-2009, Offit, 2008). In late spring 2009, the World Health Organization labeled the swine flu a pandemic. In October 2009, President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency when over 1,000 Americans, as well as nearly a hundred children, had died as a result of the swine flu. Unfortunately, we also faced a shortage of vaccines to deal with the outbreak. Responding to the flu outbreak was also slow.

I want to determine whether the gap year is beneficial to students that have just graduated high school. Individuals who take a gap year have an opportunity to travel to a foreign country, get a job where they can earn job experience, earn money to help get them through school, or volunteer both at home and/or abroad. There is an intriguing array of options now available to students who want to choose to wait a year before starting college. I myself wish that I would have taken a year off to travel and get some worldly experience. I believe that it is a very beneficial option that many students should start taking advantage of. The gap year is a good topic for me to research this semester. We will write a custom essay sample on Topic Proposal Essay: Gap Year or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page RATIONALE: I have not traveled to a foreign country before nor have I taken a year off of school to do so. I am extremely interested in maybe doing so. College is a big transition to make after graduating high school. Since Iââ¬â¢ve come to college I have felt mostly confident with my choice of school and furthering my education. As time goes on and I meet new people and hear different stories I have become more tempted to take a year off to travel. Iââ¬â¢m not sure how my parents would react to this decision but from what Iââ¬â¢ve researched and heard it would be an amazing experience that I most likely would not regret. Being at college has led me to question who I am and I what I truly want to do with my life. Because of those questions I have, I believe that researching the topic of the gap year would be very beneficial because I would be invested in the topic. The gap year has been most popular in Europe. Slowly the idea is taking root in the US as evidence by the increased number or articles written each year about the growing phenomenon. There has also been an increase in the number of programs available to students considering this option. I think that many parents might be afraid to let their children take a year off to explore by themselves. There are downfalls such as how much it might cost and so on. Many might not agree that taking a year off will motivate students more as well. Gap year travelers often return with greater confidence and a much more open-minded and mature approach to life, which can help them to gain greater focus for college life and improve their interpersonal skills for their future career (Tomer). Researching this topic will work well because it is a worldly and manageable topic that is gaining more interest from many different people. Some colleges are beginning to recommend taking a gap year because it leads to more motivated students. In the case of students who donââ¬â¢t feel that college is for them, the gap year offers many ways for them to find out if continuing their education is the right option. Harvard admissions Dean William Fitzsimmons has co-written a paper called Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation arguing that after the pressure studentââ¬â¢s face in high school, devoting a year to their own pursuits prepares them for academia (Chatzky). I believe that a gap year can help students gain a better understanding of whom they are what they want to do or be when they grow up. I also hope to show that a gap year is not all just fun and games but an opportunity to open studentââ¬â¢s eyes to the different opportunities that are available in the world. I believe that by researching the gap year I will be able to find out how it may resolve the problem of students just thinking college is one big party. REQUEST: I want to figure out the actual benefits of taking the opportunity to take a year off and experience the world. I am requesting your approval to research the gap year this semester because it will be manageable and I am invested in finding out the answers to my questions. This is a good topic for my research paper because of the growing interest in the gap year in the US and also the growing number of programs available to students. It is a growing trend with obvious benefits and I am committed to finding out if the benefits are real. ellasanchez1949http://www.blogger.com/profile/05149986783415481693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676063283378267040.post-45755263227088881642019-12-03T04:31:00.001-08:002019-12-03T04:31:03.303-08:00The Imbalance in Ecosystem in the Modern World Population growth among the humans is leading to over exploitation of the eco system in trying to provide food, shelter and clothing. Santa in her publication World Is Undergoing Mass Extinction shows how over exploitation of the environment is causing imbalance in the eco system.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Imbalance in Ecosystem in the Modern World specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The imbalance in ecosystem is eventually leading to extinction of some species from the earth surface. In equatorial Africa, over exploitation of the equatorial forest to provide trees for timber and medicinal herbs is leading to desertification. The Equatorial forest together with the Amazon forest used to boast of the widest varieties of birds and animals which most of them no longer exist. The extinction and endangerment of animals in these forests are caused by human being activities. Sheldon, in the article Endangered Spe cies/Species Extinction ââ¬â Causes, Statistics, and Trends, suggests that human beings should develop a way to exploit the environment without affecting other species living within the same surrounding. Natural extinction can be slowed down even if it is caused by forces of nature. The natural extinction within the Amazon forest is being brought about by climate change. The climate change is brought by human activities which include industrialization and farming. Using of environmentally friendly sources of power to run the industries might reduce the global warming by 25%. The Greater Horseshoe Bat a bird found in Britain is endangered because of human activities of lumbering and use of pesticides within its eco system. The bird left without a natural habitat and food making is hard to survive in the new polluted environment. Laws developed to protect the endangered animals are not enough to protect the rare species. Governments need to involve the local communities in trying to protect the animals which would be an effective process. Kurpis, in her article Ways You Can Help Endangered Species, suggests that communities should be involved in forming game reserves or parks where the endangered animals will be reared. The need to protect endangered animals is a necessity because of the technological advancement among the humans. Human beings have come up with weapons that can kill some of these animals in thousands within a short period. Poachers use these weapons to hunt the endangered animals eventually contributing to eradication of certain species of animals like the white rhino. The anti poaching laws and willingness of people have proved pivotal in increasing the white rhinoââ¬â¢s population within the Earthââ¬â¢s surface. Research by Bishop, in his publication Biodiversity loss from species extinctions may rival pollution and climate change impacts, has shown areas with massive extinction are facing decrease in biodiversity. The extinction is leading to such things as global warming, low production, and air pollution.Advertising Looking for essay on environmental studies? Let's see if we can help you!

Environments that harbor a wide variety of species have a large production of food. The massive production is brought about by ability of nature to control all factors of production using natural means. Human beings will be the greatest losers because of the extinction of certain species. Extinction of herbivores within some eco system is leading to conflict between human beings and carnivores like lions. Such conflict would not take place if humans did not over hunt the herbivores for meat leaving carnivores with nothing to feed. Myers, in the article 10 Recently Extinct Animals ââ¬â Top 10 Lists | List verse, shows that human beings are the main contributors to the extinction of species in the current century. These leaves human beings with a moral obligation of ensuring the endangered species do not get extinct by protecting their habitat. Protection of their habitats will ensure they get safe bleeding places, and enough food to survive.

It threatened the life and reign of Emperor Justinian. The Nika Revolt was also known as: the Nika Rebellion, the Nika Uprising, the Nika Riot, the Nike Revolt, the Nike Rebellion, the Nike Uprising, the Nike Riot The Nika Revolt took place in: January, 532 C.E., in Constantinople The Hippodrome The Hippodrome was the site in Constantinople where enormous crowds gathered to watch exciting chariot races and similar spectacles. Several other sports had been outlawed over the preceding decades, so chariot races were particularly welcome occasions. But events in the Hippodrome sometimes led to violence among the spectators, and more than one riot had begun there in the past. The Nika Revolt would begin and, several days later, end in the Hippodrome. Nika! Fans in the Hippodrome would cheer on their favorite charioteers and chariot teams with the cry, Nika!, which has been variously translated as Conquer!, Win! and Victory! In the Nika Revolt, this was the cry the rioters took up. The Blues and the Greens The charioteers and their teams were garbed in specific colors (as were their horses and the chariots themselves); the fans who followed these teams identified with their colors. There had been reds and whites, but by the time of Justinians reign, the most popular by far were the Blues and the Greens. The fans that followed the chariot teams retained their identity beyond the Hippodrome, and at times they wielded considerable cultural influence. Scholars once thought that the Blues and the Greens each associated with particular political movements, but there is little evidence to support this. It is now believed that the primary interest of the Blues and the Greens was their racing teams, and that occasional violence sometimes spilled over from the Hippodrome into other aspects of Byzantine society without any real direction from fan leaders. For several decades, it had been traditional for the emperor to choose either the Blues or the Greens to support, which virtually guaranteed the two most powerful teams would not be able to join together against the imperial government. But Justinian was a different breed of emperor. Once, years before he took the throne, he had been believed to favor the Blues; but now, because he wanted to remain above partisan politics even of the most superficial kind, he did not throw his support behind any charioteer. This would prove to be a serious mistake. The New Reign of Emperor Justinian Justinian had become co-emperor with his uncle, Justin, in April of 527, and he became sole emperor when Justin died four months later. Justin had risen from humble beginnings; Justinian was also considered by many senators to be of low birth, and not truly worthy of their respect. Most scholars agree that Justinian had a sincere wish to improve the empire, the capital city of Constantinople, and the lives of the people who lived there. Unfortunately, the measures he took to accomplish this proved disruptive. Justinians ambitious plans to reconquer Roman territory, his extensive building projects, and his ongoing war with Persia all required funding, which meant more and more taxes; and his wish to end corruption in the government led him to appoint some overzealous officials whose severe measures caused resentment in several levels of society. Things looked very bad when a riot broke out over the extreme strictures employed by one of Justinians most unpopular officials, John of Cappadocia. The riot was put down with brutal force, many participants were jailed, and those ringleaders that were captured were sentenced to death. This engendered further unrest among the citizenry. It was in this heightened state of tension that Constantinople was suspended in the early days of January, 532. The Botched Execution When the ringleaders of the riot were supposed to be executed, the job was botched, and two of them escaped. One was a fan of the Blues, the other a fan of the Greens. Both were hidden away safely in a monastery. Their supporters decided to ask the emperor for leniency for these two men at the next chariot race. The Riot Breaks Out On January 13, 532, when the chariot races were scheduled to begin, members of both the Blues and the Greens loudly pleaded with the emperor to show mercy to the two men that Fortune had rescued from the gallows. When no response was forthcoming, both factions began to cry out, Nika! Nika! The chant, so often heard in the Hippodrome in support of one charioteer or another, was now directed against Justinian. The Hippodrome erupted in violence, and soon the mob took to the streets. Their first objective was theà praetorian,à which was, essentially, the headquarters of Constantinoples police department and the municipal jail. The rioters released the prisoners and set the building on fire. Before long a substantial portion of the city was in flames, including theà Hagia Sophiaà and several other great buildings. From Riot to Rebellion It is not clear how soon members of the aristocracy became involved, but by the time the city was on fire, there were signs that forces were attempting to use the incident to overthrow an unpopular emperor. Justinian recognized the danger and tried to appease his opposition by agreeing to remove from office those responsible for conceiving of and carrying out the most unpopular policies. But this gesture of conciliation was rebuffed, and rioting continued. Then Justinian orderedà General Belisariusà to squelch the riot; but in this, the estimable soldier and the emperors troops failed. Justinian and his closest supporters stayed holed up in the palace while the riot raged and the city burned. Then, on January 18, the emperor tried once more to find a compromise. But when he appeared in the Hippodrome, all of his offers were rejected out of hand. It was at this point that rioters proposed another candidate for the emperor: Hypatius, nephew of the late Emperor Anastasius I. A political coup was at hand. Hypatius Though related to a former emperor, Hypatius had never been a serious candidate for the throne. Hed led anà undistinguishedà career first as a military officer, and now as a senator and was probably content to remain out of the limelight. According toà Procopius, Hypatius and his brother Pompeius had stayed with Justinian in the palace during the riot, until the emperor grew suspicious of them and their vague connection to the purple, and threw them out. The brothers did not want to leave, fearing they would be used by the rioters and the anti-Justinian faction. This, of course, is exactly what happened. Procopius relates that his wife, Mary, took hold of Hypatius and wouldnt letà goà until the crowd overwhelmed her, and her husband was carried to the throne against his will. The Moment of Truth When Hypatius wasà borneà to the throne, Justinian and his entourage left the Hippodrome once more. The revolt was now too far out of hand, and there seemed no way to take control. The emperor and his associates began to discuss fleeing the city. It was Justinians wife,à Empress Theodora, who convinced them to stand firm. According to Procopius, she told her husband, ... the present time, above all others, is inopportune for flight, even though it bring safety ... For one who has been anà emperor, it is unendurable to be a fugitive ... consider whether it will not come about after you have been saved that you would gladly exchange that safety for death. For as for myself, I approve a certain ancient saying that royalty is a good burial-shroud. Shamed by her words, and buoyed by her courage, Justinian rose to the occasion. The Nika Revolt is Crushed Once more Emperor Justinian sent General Belisarius to attack the rebels with Imperial troops. With most of the rioters confined to the Hippodrome, the results were far different than the generals first attempt: Scholars estimate that between 30,000 and 35,000 people were slaughtered. Many of the ringleaders were captured and executed, including the unfortunate Hypatius. In the face of such a massacre, the rebellion crumpled. The Aftermath of the Nika Revolt The death toll and the extensive destruction of Constantinople were horrific, and it would take years for the city and its people to recover. Arrests were ongoing after the revolt, and many families lost everything due to their connection to the rebellion. The Hippodrome was shut down, and races were suspended for five years. But for Justinian, the results of the riots were very much to his advantage. Not only was the emperor able to confiscate a number of wealthy estates, but he also returned to their offices the officials hed agreed to remove, including John of Cappadocia although, to his credit, he did keep them from going to the extremes theyd employed in the past. And his victory over the rebels garnered him new respect, if not true admiration. No one was willing to move against Justinian, and he was now able to go forward with all his ambitious plans rebuilding the city, reconquering territory in Italy, completing his law codes, among others. He also began instituting laws that curbed the powers of the senatorial class that had so looked down on him and his family. The Nika Revolt had backfired. Though Justinian had been brought to the brink of destruction, he had overcome hisà enemies and would enjoy a long and fruitful reign. The text of this document is copyright à ©2012 Melissa Snell.

We can observe this kind of conversation in legal and religious ceremonies, peopleââ¬â¢s interaction in their communities, in shops and in schools but at the same time we can observe that the variety of their interaction differs from one code to another code which can vary from high to low or vice versa.Advertising We will write a custom research paper sample on Code Switching and Code Mixing specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More It can happen in either cases whether multilingual or bilingual depending upon the participant and situation (Code-Switching OR Code-mixing, n.d.). A code could be a language or a style of language (Code Mixing and Code Switching, 2009). Now when we talk about Code-switching and code-mixing, they are well-known traits in the speech pattern of the average bilingual in any human society the world over (Ayeomoni, 2006). They occur when bilinguals substitute words or phrases (Geetha, 2010). Constituents of one language can be found with the constituents of another language in a number of linguistic phenomena, namely lexical borrowing, transferring, interference, calquing, diffusion, reflexification, code switching and code mixing, etc. The two linguistic phenomena that are claimed to be the most established and common modes of interaction among bilingual speakers are Code switching and code mixing (Redouane, 2005). Meaning of Code Switching and Code Mixing Sometimes people, having different reasons, need to use more than one language within different social settings like, school, home, office and shops etc. For example if they want to greet their friend or they want to explain something more particularly etc. they use different codes. ââ¬Å"Code switching is dealing with different social dimension which are related to different social factors which are a pa rticipant, status and solidarity (social distance)â⬠(Code-Switching OR Code-mixing, n.d.). In Code Switching it is not necessary that the participant knows all the vocabularies or pronunciation of that particular language which he uses to communicate. These kinds of switches are very short and are used in different social settings for different reasons. Suppose in a company, tow workers who are speaking in Arabic and switches to French or English after they start communicating with the third person, is called Code Switching (Code-Switching OR Code-mixing, n.d.).Advertising Looking for research paper on linguistics?

In Jordan for instance while Jordanian Arabic accent, is varied between low and high. Anyone could use in street, in home or between friends (the low) where it could not be used with teachers or doctors or any one in high status. This is the same with different Arabian accentâ⬠(Code-Switching OR Code-mixing, n.d.). Gumperz (1982) defines code switching as ââ¬Å"the juxtaposition within the same speech exchange of passages of speech belonging to two different grammatical systems or subsystemsâ⬠(p. 59). In case of bilinguals, the behavior of switching between different languages in discourse, oral or written is considered as code switching (Ruan, 2003). Bentahila refers to code switching as ââ¬Å"the use of two languages within a single conversation, exchange or utteranceâ⬠, (Bentahila et al. 1983:302). Most rese archers have recognized two types of code switching: ââ¬Å"Intrasentential code switching used for switches within sentences, and interasentential code switching for switches between sentencesâ⬠(Redouane, 2005). Researches have been conducted on the code switching behavior of the bilingual children. Bauer Montero, (20010; Fantini, (1985); McClure, (1977); Saunders,( 1982) have studied the behavior of such children and their findings reveal that the cognitive requirements of the task and the contextual demands like participants and topics influence the bilingual children to switch languages (Ruan, 2003). Sociolinguistic studies reveal that although code switching performs important communicative functions, most educators are unaware about its nature and functions in educational settings. Code switching has long been thought to be stigmatized in education (Crowl and MacGinitie, 1974; Lara, 1989; Ramirez Milk; 1986). Code switching has been identified as a deficiency of the bi linguals who are not well developed in either language that they use (Myers-Scotton:1993) Not much emphasis has been placed on the simultaneous development of the two languages in bilingual children by the educationists. The mainstream society considers the mixing of languages in the process of getting hold of it as objectionable. So, it is highly required that the code switching behavior of the bilingual children or the beginners should be examined in order to understand this phenomenon completely (Ruan, 2003).Advertising We will write a custom research paper sample on Code Switching and Code Mixing specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Code mixing can be related to mixing of two or more languages while doing conversation. Every bilingual experience this kind of occurrence at different stages. This linguistic device is used by bilinguals for many reasons in their communication (Mixing and Code Switching, 2010). Suwito in Sutana (1999: 17 ) says that ââ¬Å"in the phenomenon of code mixing the dependent characteristics are indicated by the relationship between the function and role of language. The role means that who uses the language and function means what will be acquired by the speakerâ⬠(Rabu, 2011, Para 1). Wardhaugh (1986: 103) mentions that ââ¬Å"Code mixing usually occurs in bilingual or multilingual community or society and the function (meaning) of the languages cannot be clearly separated. This code mixing is used when the conversant use both languages together to the extent that they change from one language to the other in the course of a single utteranceâ⬠(Rabu, 2011, Para 3). Thelander (In Chaer, 1995: 152) explains ââ¬Å"the definition of code mixing. He says that if in the single utterance the clauses and the phrases used are hybrid clause or hybrid phrases and each clause or phrase does not support the function of clause and phrase, it is called code mixing. The special character of c ode mixing is that, code mixing is used in informal situation. In the formal situation it may have no exact meaning in Indonesian languageâ⬠Nababan (1984: 32) says that ââ¬Å"in the written language code mixing is indicated by italic writing or underline formâ⬠(Rabu, 2011, Para 4). Code Switching and Code Mixing in Arab Students To explain the difference between code mixing and code switching following are some examples (Kiranmayi, 2010):Advertising Looking for research paper on linguistics? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More ââ¬Å"Life in cities is comfortable bass I am sick and tired of traffic. Life in cities is comfortable but I am sick and tired of trafficâ⬠In the above example only one word is mixed which is in Arabic. This is called code mixing (Kiranmayi, 2010). . ââ¬Å"If you work hard, rà ½h tingah. If you work hard, you will passâ⬠(Kiranmayi, 2010). In above example the speaker started in English but later he switches to Arabic. This is called code switching. ââ¬Å"In Oman most English language teachers are native speakers of Arabic, and they vary considerably in terms of their mastery of the English language. In particular, it is important to note that these foreign language teachers perhaps should not be regarded as true bilinguals who can choose freely between different codes or languages. Instead, they are, more accurately, monolingual individuals who have varied skills and knowledge in English and whose task is to teach this language to the monolingual learnersâ⬠(Kir anmayi, 2010). There was survey done in an Omani school. Following is some conversation between teacher and student: ââ¬Å"Teacher: century Student: Ustaad, century yaani qarn!! (Teacher! Century means qarn?) Teacher: Yes, century means qarn. Teacher: pronunciation Students: yaani ntoq? (meaning ntoq?) Teacher: Yes, pronunciation means ntoqâ⬠(Kiranmayi, 2010). The above mentioned example shows that for interaction code switching is very important. Here we will take up a few studies conducted by different researchers on people of different age groups to understand the phenomenon (Ruan, 2003). Moroccans from formal data are represented by (F) and from informal data by (I) (Redouane, 2005). Single word ââ¬Å" (F): tlabt waà §di lââ¬â¢immigrationâ⬠(I asked alone (for) the immigration) ââ¬Å" (I): à adda à annamshi le mallâ⬠(Tomorrow I will go to the mall) (Redouane, 2005). Larger sequences of words ââ¬Å"(F): ji:t fi la fin du mois de dà ©cembre ka:n ljaw bared kti:r wttaljâ⬠(I came the end of the month of December, the weather was very cold and snow) (Redouane, 2005). ââ¬Å"(I): à adi ntsenna:k vers 2 heures cà ´tà © du kiosque de lââ¬â¢informationâ⬠. (I will wait for you around 2 oââ¬â¢clock near the information booth) (Redouane, 2005). The findings of this study have demonstrated that the speech of these Arabic: ââ¬Å"Lingling: I got lots of candy from Trick-or-Treat. Di: Me too. I have a lot of candy and my mom wonââ¬â¢t let me have all. (Teacher coming into the classroom) Lingling: Lao shi, ni yao bu yao yi ke tang? (Teacher, do you want a piece of candy?) Teacher: Xie xie. Bu yong. (Thanks. No.)â⬠(Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"Lingling understood that she came to the Chinese school to learn Chinese, and the teacher might expect her to use Chinese. Her sense of the status of interlocutors led to her motivation to switchâ⬠(Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"While referring to the subjects taught in the Chinese scho ol, Lingling was more likely to use Chinese than Englishâ⬠(Ruan, 2003). She switched from English to Chinese when she talked to her friend about her WU Shu class (Chinese Martial Art ) (Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"Lingling: I need to go to wu shu ke. (I need to go to Wu Shu class). Di: Yeah, punching and kicking people.â⬠(Ruan, 2003). To Lingling, Wu Shu was a Chinese topic, and it was unlikely and inconvenient for her to translate it into its corresponding English term (Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"When she talked to her classmate Kai about the most popular toys her awareness of culture-related topics was also obvious. At the time of the study many conversations were about Pokemons. In the following conversation her awareness of culture-specific topics is evidentâ⬠(Ruan, 2003). The conversation started out in Chinese, but Pokemon characters prompted the switch to English (Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"Meilun: Lingling, ni hua shen me? (Lingling, what are you drawing?) Lingling: Zhe shi Pich achoo (This is Pichachoo). I will draw Charizard the Flame Thrower too.â⬠(Ruan, 2003). Moreover, code switching was frequently used as a metalinguistic device by the Chinese teacher and the children to expand and monitor teaching and learning (Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"The new and complex concepts were often explained in both the languages by the teacher to ensure that the students had understood the conceptsâ⬠(Ruan, 2003). The children in turn followed the same behavior (Ruan, 2003). Linglingââ¬â¢s verbal exchange with her teacher during a lesson on garden facilitates this finding (Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"Teacher: Lingling, shen me shi hua yuan? (Lingling, what is hua yuan?) Lingling: Hua yuan jiu shi you hen duo hua, shi garden. (Hua yuan has lots of flowers, is garden.)â⬠(Ruan, 2003). ââ¬Å"This study suggests that as with bilingual adults, code switching is employed as communicative devices by bilingual children. Young bilingual Chinese/English children applied code- switching during their speech in order to realize different functions, such as social function, pragmatic function, and meta-linguistic functionâ⬠(Ruan, 2003). The findings suggest that code switching should not be considered a sign of bilingual childrenââ¬â¢s English language learning abilities. ââ¬Å"They should not be discriminated if they engage in code switching behaviorsâ⬠(Ruan, 2003). The children can improve their literacy through using their own linguistic ââ¬Å"funds of knowledgeâ⬠(Moll, 1992) (Ruan, 2003). There is a need for more studies on code switching. It will enable the educators to acquire a better understanding of how bilingual children use languages and learn through languages (Ruan, 2003). These kinds of studies can help teachers provide appropriate instructional support to maximize bilingual childrenââ¬â¢s learning (Ruan, 2003). Man is capable of making many changes and once he has made them it is up to him how to manifest them or how to leave them and this applies on the use of languages also (Duran, 1994).

Conflicts could be avoided by understanding, collaboration and co-operation with other care-givers, by being flexible without compromising the nursing ethics and with a thoroughly psychological insight of the problems. A complete understanding of duties and responsibilities and genuinely caring for patients will win the battle any day without giving scope for conflict and aggression. In this document, there is no reference how the rights are secured; but there is a promise that they are secured in every hospital. Patient's rights are protected and secured by State and Federal laws and hospitals who are obliged to protect the privacy of medical information and records. The governments and the hospitals are responsible for protecting all rights of every patient under all the circumstances. Health for life with safety, dignity and privacy and affordable care are the major rights of the patient. Availability of the best information, highest quality care with efficiency focusing on wellness, trained care providers, Clean and safe environment, help with bills and filling insurance claims, latest technology, cutting-edge medical research, well-equipped facilities, freedom of choice without bias and health provision at right time are the rights of all patients. Preparing the patient and the family with proper information and medical necessities too are the rights of the patients. Patient is provided legal help if he or his family members feel that the patient was not cared for. It can result in suspension of care givers and the hospital could be liable to claims. Patients and their families can claim compensation and if the allegations are proved beyond suspicion of willful neglect, care givers could face imprisonment. Patient rights are connected with the caregiver duties. They are supposed to be in touch with the most recent technology and research of continued progress, and it is their duty that patient is given all possible information, medication, and it is patient's right to make his choice. Duties and rights are connected with one another and they form the basic of patient and professional care relationship.
