The patient will be alluded to as young lady ââ¬ËA and individuals from the multidisciplinary group will be alluded to as experts. An exceptionally concise depiction of the young ladies emotional well-being disease was schizophrenia this can affect a people mind so that they can hear voices and send smells that are not genuine to the natural eye. Different highlights can incorporate silly considerations this is the place the individual can accept that specific circumstances and conditions have happened to them and it is extremely obvious to the individual on the opposite it can cause an individual to feel that others don't trust them (CAMHS, 2002). The moral problem Young lady ââ¬ËA was 15 years old, when she was separated under the 1983 Mental Health Act area 2. Young lady ââ¬ËA got a letter from a companion at home. This letter uncovered that her companion had been assaulted from young lady ââ¬ËAs moms beau. Young lady ââ¬ËA had before this letter unveiled to the nursing group that she herself had been assaulted from her moms sweetheart. She chose not to make a move inspired by a paranoid fear of losing the relationship she had as of late developed with her mom. Right now the young lady needed her mom to never get some answers concerning the divulgence of this assault experience. The companion told young lady ââ¬ËA that this circumstance was going to court. Now young lady ââ¬ËA concluded the time had come to put conclusion on her own assault trial and in this manner needed to go to court and proclaim her own assault trial. The moral issue is should the young lady called go to court or not? Reference Reading from Leathard, A. McLaren. (2007) Ethics contemporary difficulties in wellbeing and social consideration. The Policy Press: UK. There are three additional methodologies which frequently strife with numerous moral issues they are deontology, conceptualism and temperance morals (Leathard McLaren, 2007). It approaches can offer bearings to moral issues. Consequentialism - additionally alluded to as utiliarism found by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. The points of this methodology are think about the results of making a specific type of move (in the same place). All territories of a moral quandary utilizing this methodology would be given equivalent weight while thinking about the result (on the same page). In medicinal services this methodology can be believed to be utilized while considering choices that should be made about the portion of assets (in the same place). Individual Values my own qualities You will portray your qualities however there is no right/wrong response to this. It is essentially how you introduced your problem to the ethic bunch |Julie. How does my own insight, culture, and beneficial experience influence this problem for you? emotions What esteems are in struggle and how has this caused you to feel? What were your apprehensions? Given comparative conditions with someone else would the result be the equivalent? how do these effect on the inquiries you posed resp. to me as an individual Procedure How and for what reason am I settling on a decision I am making i.e., what did I think, feel, and what did I do or not do? How was my dynamic emotional by what variables of enactment, gauges, strategies and authoritative arrangements/methodology and qualities? What different assets would be useful to me in settling on the choices about the predicament? Continue utilizing reflection I think this part Julie is the place you have started to portrayed the diverse moral methodologies. Deontology deon implies obligation and ology is the science, this methodology was found by Kantian. The points of this methodology doesn't consider the outcomes rather it follows up on what is ethically right, specifically deontologists reward the circumstance or customer with deference for singularity which is its most noteworthy significance. This methodology would not affirm of lying to a customer regardless of whether it was in the wellbeing. Any choice is made utilizing deontology would need to be founded on truth. Obligation based hypotheses which would permit the laborer and the customer to demonstrations of the best result which would stay away from hurt. This methodology perceives self-rule, trust and the value of arrangements (on the same page). Prudence got from Aristotelian belief systems. Thomas Aquinas (1990) characterizes uprightness morals isn't just information yet additionally the methodology taken to give incorporation utilizing this information to a moral quandary circumstance, a zone of ââ¬Å"manifestation of moral expert behaviourâ⬠(in the same place: 71). Righteousness morals depict a people character convictions and qualities quality is in activities that they accept are ethically stable. Beauchamp and Childress (1989) portray four moral rules that ought to be viewed as when managing any moral difficulty they are: usefulness, non-perniciousness, independence and equity (in the same place: 72). Anyway these four moral standards now and again can struggle in this manner basic judgment is required while picking a specific methodology to take. These four moral standards they can give a system to help the worker(s)/client(s) circumstance by enabling the reasoning procedure, this assists with the choice procedure of the moral problem (in the same place). In upright expert must consider the various perspectives by perceiving the potential clashes that can occur between these four moral standards. It is subsequently suggested that a specialist makes basic decisions with regards to which approach would be progressively proper to the moral quandary. ââ¬Å"Gardiner (2003) remarks that the temperate professional is driven by profound want to carry on well and that this methodolo gy has an adaptability that can support creative arrangements while recognizing that there will frequently be components of agony or regretâ⬠(on the same page: 76). So from the moral quandary if advantage was applied the patients wellbeing and wishes and emotions would have been viewed as utilizing this methodology. In spite of the fact that, it could seem unsafe to the patient, if the sole perspectives on her circumstance were considered in light of the fact that this could have adversy affected the eventual benefits of the patient. Non-evil applying this way to deal with the moral difficulty could show how the expert has shielded the patient from real or possible damage; this is especially fruitful when the specialist assesses his/her insight and abilities sensibly guaranteeing any type of intercession is taken inside their expert limit. Anyway should the specialist feel there could be constraints then they should look for and share this data with the group of experts thinking about the young lady? This specific methodology may have been applied from help laborer/essential consideration laborers perspective this is on the grounds that non-perniciousness offers the help specialist/essential consideration laborer with more subtleties from the customers viewpoint of the circumstance while; an expert may possibly work with the young lady on if not many events. Consequently the ramifications of the help specialist/essential consideration laborer not imparting data to different experts can make incredible mischief th e patient. In the event that the help laborer/essential consideration specialist prompts the patient ââ¬Å"there is nothing more I can doâ⬠then this will be hurtful and unhelpful to the patient (on the same page: 74). Self-governance the standard of self-rule and effect on revelation and classification. Anyway a patient has an option to data about their condition and their circumstance, the patients sees convictions and qualities ought to be regarded. Albeit, legitimately the young lady in the moral problem was separated under the 1983 emotional well-being act area 2 and along these lines their grounds a professional must take with respect to a fitting choice this can struggle the patients wellbeing/wishes and sentiments. Utilizing the moral issue in this occasion shows when ââ¬Å"beneficence or non-wrathfulness overruling understanding autonomyâ⬠(on the same page: 75). The expert will attempt to the principal obligation to the patient anyway the specialist must adjust this obligation to the patient with respect to the more extensive dangers and contribution of others. Gillon (2003), self-sufficiency is a segment of the other three moral standards and self-governance should take need with d eference for the patient (in the same place). Equity and value ââ¬Å"The Aristotelian standards recommend that I believe framework ought to guarantee equivalent and ought to be dealt with similarly and unequals unequallyâ⬠(in the same place: 77). Considering equity and value to the moral problem the patient may feel the choice to not go to court un-reasonable. Anyway the professional ought to convey an Albanys about the models that was utilized to settle on the choices they made about this moral situation. The standards of equity and value can take into account choices to be made and dispersed by the patients need, benefits, limit or rights. In this circumstance a professional may help the patient to remember her privileges in regard to a grumblings methodology (on the same page). ISSUES Force/polices What are the privileges of the youngster? What rights as an individual? Are there any rights as far as looking for conclusion? All your doing here is noting and indicating Why and what arrangements might be utilized with this difficulty.

This demonstrated a decent move for the club, as Juventus won their second Italian Championship during the 1925-26 season; they beat Alba Roma in the last with a total score of 12-1, Antonio Vojakââ¬â¢s objectives were fundamental that season.[5] From the 1930-31 through the 1934-35 season, Juventus gathered a record of five continuous Italian association titles, four of which were under mentor Carlo Carcano;[5] the crew incorporated any semblance of Raimundo Orsi, Luigi Bertolini, Giovanni Ferrari and Luis Monti among others. Outstandingly, the club arrived at the semi-finals of the Mitropa Cup before going out to Czechoslovakian side Slavia Prague.[8] During 1933, Juventus moved to what is viewed as their first significant home; Stadio Benito Mussolini, it was worked in 1933 for the 1934 FIFA World Cup, holding a limit of 65,000.[9] It was initially named after Benito Mussolini who was Prime Minister of Italy at that point. Edoardo Agnelli kicked the bucket on 14 July 1935, this influenced the clubââ¬â¢s association execution in an enormous way as the absolute most conspicuous players left not long after his demise. In spite of the fact that the club couldn't re-catch their structure for the remainder of the 1930s, they finished as sprinters up to Ambrosiana-Inter in the 1937-38 season.[5] After-World War II the clubââ¬â¢s ground was renamed, Stadio Comunale and Edoardoââ¬â¢s child Gianni Agnelli was set up as privileged president;[7] the club added two more scudetto championshipââ¬â¢s to their name in the 1949-50 and 1951-52 seasons, the last of which was under the administration of Englishman Jesse Carver. This sort of structure would be an indication of things to come later on. After a drought, Juventus marked Welshman John Charles and Italo-Argentine Omar Sivori in 1957 to play close by Giampiero Boniperti (who had been with the club since 1946). This framework was effective for Juventus and they won Serie An out of 1957-58 and 1959-60 with Fiorentina completing second on the two events, the last of which was Juventusââ¬â¢ first historically speaking twofold, as they likewise won the Coppa Italia that season. This record breaking crew turned into the main Italian clubs to win ten titles in 1961, in acknowledgment of this the club were granted a Golden Star for Sport Excellence (Stella dââ¬â¢Oro al Merito Sportivo) to wear on their shirt. Prominently, Omar Sivori turned into the first Juventus player to win the European Footballer of the Year that year too.[10] When Boniperti resigned in 1961, he resigned as the untouched top scorer at the club, with 182 objectives in all rivalries; a club record which would keep going for a long time. The last Juventus title triumph accompanied Heriberto Herrera as mentor in 1966-67,[5] a remarkable players of this time was the solid protector Sandro Salvadore. Juventus further hardened themselves as a pinnacle of solidarity in Italian football during the 1970s by winning the scudetto in 1971-72, 1972-73, 1974-75 and 1976-77,[5] just as arriving at the 1973 European Cup Final where they lost to Ajax. Trained in the early piece of the decade by ÃÅ"estmã r Vycpã ¡lek, a Czech who had once played with Juventus (and Palermo), the Old Lady developed a solid crew of players to push them forward, with Gaetano Scirea, Dino Zoff, Roberto Bettega, Fabio Capello, and Brazilian Josã © Altafini who might turn into the joint-third most elevated scorer in Serie A history.[11] Franco Causio additionally turned into a mainstream player at the club during the 1970s, in actuality he was well known to the point that the club permitted him to wear his hair long, preceding Causio this was against the rules.[12] The club likewise furnished the group with authentic proper wear (made by acclaimed tailors) and constrained them to finish their instructive examinations. The majority of its players stayed with Juventus until the finish of their vocations; many were given occupations with the club or for Fiat (and related organizations) subsequent to playing retirement.

A key principle is that the child is in charge of his or her own life, and the social pedagogue works alongside them rather than dictating to them. Piagetââ¬â¢s Theory of Cognitive Development Jean Piaget investigated how children think.

Animism, or the belief that even inanimate objects are living, results from egocentrism. Children assume that since they are alive, all other things must be too. Talking Tables and Dancing Dishwashers Animism explains the popularity of childrenââ¬â¢s movies featuring characters such as talking vegetables or singing candlesticks. Young children can readily believe that objects around them are alive, which means they can be entertained by stories involving living objects. Children and adolescents past the age of seven generally lose interest in heroic toasters and prefer stories about people. Stage 3: Concrete Operational Period From the age of seven to about eleven, children become capable of performing mental operations or working through problems and ideas in their minds. However, they can perform operations only on tangible objects and real events. Children also achieve conservation, reversibility, and decentration during this stage: * Reversibility is the ability to mentally reverse actions. * Decentration is the ability to focus simultaneously on several aspects of a problem. Furthermore, children become less egocentric during this stage as they start to consider simultaneously different ways of looking at a problem.

Throughout ââ¬Å"The Merchant of Veniceâ⬠, Shylock is viewed as a greedy monster, since he works as a moneylender, while Antonio is viewed in a positive light by all, especially when he, with some help from friends, was able to outsmart Shylock for the debt owed to him.

By analyzing each philosopherââ¬â¢s ideology, we can identify which thinkerââ¬â¢s theory reflected modern era liberalism the most. For this paper I will be arguing that, John Locke provides a more compelling framework of modern era liberalism because of his perception of the state of nature, the social contract and the function of government. Before explaining how Lockeââ¬â¢s philosophy reflects modern liberalism, it is important to first understand the characteristics that make up modern liberalism. Modern era liberalism stresses the idea that individuals are of great importanceâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Labour essentially creates a distinction between the common and the private (The Second Treatise of Gov., V, 28-29). By analyzing the priority Locke places on private property, we can see how it refle cts the fundamental feature of modern liberalism: individualism. Unlike Locke, Hobbes viewed the social contract as a way to avoid any justification of revolution and believed that the rights humans possessed in the state of nature must be surrendered to a sovereign, in exchange for order (Leviathan, XIV, p. 80). In comparison to Locke and Hobbes, Rousseau did not see the social contract as a solution to the good life, but rather a way for people to improve themselves. Rousseau essentially wanted to establish a relationship between citizens that provided everyone with adequate protection endorsed by the community while preserving the free will and liberty of each (A Discourse on the Origins of Inequality, II, p. 29). Rousseauââ¬â¢s account of the social contract does not reflect the framework of modern liberalism due to the fact that it stresses the importance of community, whereas modem liberalism emphasizes the importance of individualism, an aspect that Locke focuses on when d iscussing private property. Thirdly, Locke provides the most compelling account of modern era liberalism through his description of the function of government.

Answer: Introduction The reports of the past data reflect that almost every size of business entity is implementing the accounting software to maintain a complete track of the internal and the external database. In the framework of the existing subject line Abusaimeh (2014) reflects that the distribution and the development, accounting software in the Australian market have changed the entire database record system. The companies have become highly dependent on the effecting internal process of the accounting software in the Australian market. Yilmaz (2015) figured out that the Australian entities widely use the payroll and the accounting software packages. The survey, conducted over the SMEs (Small Medium Enterprises) reflects the 85% of the organisations prefer using the accounting software to maintain an accurate base of internal and external records. However, Yilmaz (2015) determined that the conservative business owners and the one with the limited technical knowledge are expected to continue with the traditional technical process. However, arguing the latter context, Parthasarathy and Sharma (2016) asserted that the entrepreneurs recruit several technicians in the IT (Information Technology) department to remain updated with the modern information base. Therefore, the entrepreneurs instruct the control unit to investigate on the viability of the IT software proposed by the IT person. By the feedbacks, the technical software is implemented within the internal process. Therefore, the importance of the accounting software is highly recognised by both the conservative and the modern entrepreneurs. The existing study aims to determine the efficacy of the accounting software and the market leaders operating in the specific division. History and the development of the accounting software In the late 1950 and early 1960, the Mega Corporation has taken the initiatives of handling the data that rivalled the requirements of the governing authority (Yilmaz, 2015). The corporation has faced several issues in handling the database in the cost effective software. Due to the repetitive and heavy volume of the financial and accounting data, the database has become the prime candidate for the automation procedure. IBM established the initial programming language by forming a rational database and stored the structured data within the computers. Therefore, the users experienced less issue regarding the data accessibility procedure. According to Abusaimeh (2014), SAP has been developed in 1973, which designed the product lines with the modular methods to increase the swiftness in the database tracking system. The foremost objective behind implementing the software is to have quick access to the database, solving the computations, sorting the complications in the database and acce ssing the database in a sequential manner. In 1981, Peachtree offered the initial integrated office suite, where the word processor and excel sheet were included. Moreover, Intuit has also discovered its first spreadsheet, which the users find effectively useful to maintain the database. Some of the spreadsheets were attached with the excel file, where the users can apply the data in the spreadsheets and keep a backup of the database within the Excel sheets. Accounting softwares market size in the Australian region Intuit, MYOB and Xero are major market leaders of accounting software in the Australian market. In the particular inference, Yilmaz (2015) specified that zero has its operation in the global context, whereas, MYOB has its operation single in the domestic region. The management of the enterprise has declared to have captured 15% of the share nationally. The personality further claimed of having a significant momentum of the dynamic workplace with a total base of 250,000 customers and 10,000 partners (Parthasarathy and Sharma, 2016). Figure 1: Xeros market price (Source: www.afr.com, 2016) In the existing context, Wu and Cao (2016) determined that share price of Xero has closed at $17.75. The price has reached to the maximum margin of $25.60 in March 2016. Conversely, Parthasarathy and Sharma (2016) asserted that the Intuit has managed to capture 80% of the Australian market with its QuickBooks app. On the contrary, an inference can be derived that MYOB has managed to increase its share price within the range of $ 831.7 to $ 833.8million, which reflects an indicative price range of $3 - $4 in the IPO context (www.afr.com, 2016). The previous reports also determine that almost $250 million of the start-ups are using the Xero software for the database tracking purpose. The market leaders in the accounting software segment Xero exclusive manages to consume 65% of the Australian market share in the accounting software division, whereas MIYO has captured only 20% of the shares and the left out figure is engaged by the other enterprises (Protogeros et al. 2011). Accounting software is not only limited to the inventory tracking and account management purpose, but it has also grown to the level of providing the cloud-based services to the companies with lucrative services (www.businessinsider.com.au, 2016). Intuit has managed to capture 80% of the Australian market with its QuickBooks app (Abusaimeh, 2014). Xero is a New Zealand based enterprise that has turned into an Australian giant for the accounting software segment. It has managed to gather 400,000 customers all over the world and proceeded with $240 billion of transactions and 95 million of invoice. Factors that are leading the enterprises to attain the competitive positioning Inventory management: The accounting software package often facilitates the enterprise with the inventory data management system. This software keeps the detailed record of the products and the services. Starting from the production to the distribution of the product is managed and stored in the system. The products like the raw materials, the equipment and tools, the sales based records, everything is managed intensely in the specific system. Due to its easy functionality, the software becomes easy to access (www.afr.com, 2016). Payroll management The software not only maintains the financial records, but it entails on the diversified functional process. According to Yilmaz (2015), the HR personnel can maintain the entire seconds of the internal resources and the compensation division of each of the employees. Therefore, the majority of the SMEs and the well-developed organisations are taking the help of the accounting software to have a data accuracy backup. Challenges and issues faced by the customers with the accounting software Accounting software is highly beneficial for creating and implementing a robust data management system. Presently, it has been found that the accounting software is giving too many problems to the users. Lack of Security The software developers are very much concerned about the security of data. It has been observed that the entire small and big business unit are currently using accounting software and having a tendency to switch towards the cloud-based system (Ciftci, 2010). Hence, lack of data security comes in front of the system as the firewalls do not have enough capability to solve the entire problems. The inefficient service of the firewall and along with inefficient service of the software creates the data security issues. In the opinion of Krishnan and Wang (2014), some accounting software products are not user-friendly and do not permit the users to use the keyboard and mouse. Thus, lack of efficiency is the other major reason for providing low security. Weak Reporting Services The accounting software solution is powerless in assisting the users and the other clients while the people want to get back the required information (Protogeros et al. 2011). Thus, the users get irritated as it is not simple to fetch out the data. The other accounting software does not allow the software products to retrieve the data or import the data as per the necessity. Recommendations to improve the above issues 24/7 Technical supports It is essential to resolve the problems of the customers associated with accounting software within one business day. The accounting software manufacturing firm would need to hire a team who support the clients apart from the business hours (Tankard, 2012). The support team has to provide a contact number to make contact with the customers for fixing the problems on an immediate basis. According to the opinion of Yilmaz (2015), the best support is always a face-to-face session. But in some cases, support through the phone call could be more appropriate to secure the issues of the clients. This process would also be helpful to improve the customer relationship management of the organisation. Improve the software comparability Considering the opinion of Krishnan and Wang (2014), it has been observed that many accounting software is not compatible with the other software programs. For an example, the software developer would require improving the data import and export system, so that the users could easily retrieve the required data. It has been identified that there are many programs which can easily retrieve the data set as per the requirement (Yilmaz, 2015). Hence, the developers of accounting software would need to reconstruct the features of the software for improving the software comparability. Conclusion The preliminary analysis of the study indicates that the accounting software is highly a useful software program to manage the data set. While conducting the study, history of accounting software in Australia has been analysed in the research. It has been speculated that Xero, Intuit and MYOB are the market leaders in Australian accounting software market. These organisations have a huge turnover for establishing a sustainable market position. The challenges such as Lack of Security and Weak Reporting Services are the main issues faced by the customers with the accounting software. Finally, the strategic recommendations like 24/7 Technical supports and Improve the software comparability would be beneficial both for the developers and users to improve the challenges of the accounting software.

In general, do entrepreneurs tend to overestimate or underestimate their knowledge of the laws that pertain to starting a new firm? What does answer to this question suggest that entrepreneurs do before they start a firm? In general, entrepreneurs tend to overestimate their knowledge of the laws that pertain to starting a new firm. Before entrepreneurs start a firm, they should seek for lawyer to get some legal advice, get sources and information about the business, refer to book, or search the information thru the internet about the legal issue that they face. Q2. Describe what is meant by the terms code of conduct and ethics training programs. What is their purpose? The term code of conduct is a formal statement of an organizationââ¬â¢s values on certain ethical and social issues. Which means it is a set of formal statement for a firm or company to concern and emphasis on the values on ethical and social issues. For example, value that an organization expect employee to carry out some task, the method on how employee serve customer, social responsibility for an organization, privacy, and others. Then, ethics training programs is teaching business ethnics to help employee deal with ethical dilemmas and improve their overall ethnical conduct. It means, ethics training program is a set of system or some courses that use to lead employee deal with ethical dilemmas, which is a situation that employee involve some activities that is beneficial to oneself or the organization, but may be unethical. For example, an employee using companyââ¬â¢s computer to carry out new program, thus this may raise an issue whether the new program is the property for an organization or the particular employee.

The purpose for code of conduct and ethics training programs is to promote a healthy climate of business ethics and avoid lawsuit in a firm. Also, the purpose is to establish a strong ethical culture and avoid litigation. Q3. Describe what a foundersââ¬â¢ agreement is and why itââ¬â¢s important for a team of entrepreneurs to have one in place when launching a venture. A founder agreement is a written that deals with issues such as the relative split of he equity among the founders of the firm, how individual founders will be compensated for the cash or the ââ¬Å"sweat equityâ⬠they put into the firm, and how long the founders will have to remain with the firm for their shares to fully vest. It means founder agreement is a formal document that mention about the profit sharing between the founders by following the amount of initial investment between the founders. Items that include in a foundersââ¬â¢ agreement are nature of the prospective business, a brief business plan, legal form of business ownership, buyback clause, description of the initial operating capital and others. It is important for a team of entrepreneurs to have one in place when launching a venture because it can avoid the conflict such the problem between the founders regarding the profit sharing and distribution of stock at the end of the business, avoid litigation, and to know the expectation of their own role in the organization. Therefore, foundersââ¬â¢ agreement is important to act as a set of rules or guideline while founders are conducting their business and it can reduce most of the issues that can harm the performance of a business. Q4. Describe the purpose of a non-disclosure agreement and the purpose of a non-compete agreement. Non-disclosure agreement is a legal document or contract sign between two parties, which is restrict the access or by third party. The purpose of a non-disclosure agreement is a promise made by an employee or supplier who does not disclose the trade secret between the firm to the third party or outsider. Also, a non-disclosure agreement is a contract through which the parties agree not to disclose information covered by the agreement. On the other hand, non-compete agreement is a contract between one party such as employee agrees not to pursue a similar profession or trade in competition against another party such as employer. The purpose of a non-compete agreement is to avoid the possibility that upon the termination or resignation for an employee might begin working for a competitor firm or starting a new business which is related or similar with the employerââ¬â¢s business in a specific geographical area and time frame. Q5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of organizing a new firm as a sole proprietorship? Is sole proprietorship an appropriate form of ownership for an aggressive entrepreneurial firm? Why or why not? The advantages of organizing as a sole proprietorship are being the simplest form of business tructure. Then, creating a sole proprietorship form is easy and inexpensive so a starting cost can be reduced, and then an owner maintains complete control of the business without any intervention in decision making, and profit is own retain by the owner, business losses can be deducted against the sole proprietorââ¬â¢s other sources of income, and the business is not subject to doubl e taxation because the income earned by a sole proprietorship passes directly to the personal income tax return of the owner, and then business is easy to dissolve due to without any partners and complex agreement. Whereas, the disadvantages of a sole proprietorship are liability on the ownerââ¬â¢s part is unlimited so if a business is facing deficit, owner is responsible for all the losses. Then, the business relies on the skills and abilities of a single owner in order to manage the business wisely. Furthermore, raising capital can be difficult because of only owner is running the business without any help from partners. Moreover, the business ends at the ownerââ¬â¢s death or loss of interest in the business, the liquidity of the ownerââ¬â¢s investment is low due to low capital and cash flow can be used in generating more profit. A sole proprietorship is not an appropriate form of ownership for an aggressive entrepreneurial firm. An aggressive firm will probably need to raise capital early in its life because it is important for an aggressive firm to have a huge amount of capital in competing the earlier stage in the market, thus it is not possible under the sole proprietorship form of ownership. Also, in an aggressive entrepreneurial firm will be taking more risk in the investment, hence a limited liability form of company is more suitable in an aggressive entrepreneurial firm, which owner can limit their personal losses.

(2013). Typical dreams of being chased. INTRODUCTION The majority of people experience couple of dreams in their life time. Falling, being chased or threatened are typical dreams that people experience. These dreams can be traced back to recollections of experiences and desired experienced during early childhood (Freud). Researchers have shown that being chased has the highest occurrence rate. METHOD University students from Tibet and south china were selected for participates. The research uses a stratified sampling principle for data collection (Ying Wei ). There were 600 questionnaires that were distributed. A total of 569 valid questionnaires were returned: 278 Tibetan (66 male and 22 female) and 291 Han chines (196 male and 95 female). The participants ages ranges The Han Chinese (102) and the Tibetans (106) a total of 208 were interviewed to collect basic information on being chased dream. The interviewers focused on the key elements that were emotions, the chasing agents, and the reaction when the dreamer was being chased. RESULTS Tibetan participants have a lower percentage (89.2%) than Han Chinese (97.31%) for those being chased in their dreams. Han Chinese and Tibetan both experience negative emotion (fear) when theyre being chased in their dreams; 79.8% in Tibetan undergraduates and 79.2% in Han Chinese. When the dreamer was being chased during their dream their reaction was to runaway. 72.4% of Han undergraduates would runaway, whereas Tibetans was 59.7%. DISCUSSION Running away is the most basic pattern behavior, its the most natural and main reaction to escape danger. Its best to confront the situation then to run away from it.

This paper serves the purpose of critically evaluating the Dell Supply Chain and envisaging not only the efficiency of the system but its inefficiencies as well. The paper firstly describes what a supply chain is. The next section presents what is actually supply chain management. Dell's Supply Chain is discussed next following the critical success factors adopted by the Dell Supply Chain Management. Then a major section of the paper presents a critical evaluation of the Dell Supply Chain. And then the conclusions are finally presented. Supply Chain involves every person and stage that is involved in satisfying the customer's demands. It includes every party from the manufacturer to the customers. The supply chain involves the chain that starts from manufacturer, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers and ends on the customers (Chopra and Meindl, 2004). The supply chain of every company is active and ever changing. Information and products are the crucial and continuously involved constituents of every stage in the supply chain. T The key to successful supply chains are the customers because the basic intention of the supply chains is to fulfill the customers' requirements (Chopra and Meindl, 2004). Every party involved in the supply chain works to fulfill the customers' demands because when the customers are satisfied and are getting what they actually want, they are willing to pay even high prices for the products and making profits is what every company lives for. The supply chain is an entire network of various parties striving towards the fulfillment of the demand (Chopra and Meindl, 2004). Thus every supply chain is demand-driven i.e. the whole of the chain of supply works to fulfill the demand (R Ernst, B Kamrad, 2000). The different stages involved in the supply chain involve stocks and inventory which are updated at every stage (Alan Johnson, 2006). Supply Chain and the Competition The competition in the entire global industries is now based on the competition of the supply chains. The approaches different companies use to run and deal with their supply chains are crucial for their construction or destruction (David A. Taylor, n.d.). Supply chain also has a great impact on the cost that the organizations incur and the savings that it makes. Enhancements in supply chains are not just beneficial for the baseline operations but they are also important for the top line operations because an efficient supply chain can increase the competitive advantage of the organizations over the others (David A. Taylor, n.d.). Therefore, the organizations today are focusing on the lowering of costs mainly through their supply chains and through these low-costs, fulfilling the demands of the customers.

The crucial impact of hazardous volcanic processes on the environment and the society needs to be analyzed comprehensively and it is important to realize that the direct volcano hazards include fall processes, flowage processes, and other processes, while the indirect volcano hazards include earthquakes and ground movement, tsunami, atmospheric impact and climate change, etc. A profound analysis of the volcanic impact on the environment confirms that the volcanic eruptions are extremely harmful to the environment, primarily because of the number of toxic gases emitted in the process. Significantly, the toxic gases emitted in volcanic eruptions include carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, carbon monoxide, volatile metal chlorides, etc. and these are extremely hazardous to the environment. This paper makes a reflective exploration of the volcanic impact on the environment in order to discover the various hazardous ways in which volcanic eruptions and process influence the environment and the society, directly and indirectly. One of the major research questions of an analysis of the volcanic impact on the environment should be how the volcanic gases have Garryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02939714554511524570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082899398472781452.post-79372927773987845252020-01-27T23:33:00.001-08:002020-01-27T23:33:02.858-08:00Characterization of Biochemical PathwaysCharacterization of Biochemical Pathways Disscussion: Scorpion envenoming resulted in alteration in pyramidin, histidin, tyrosine, glycerophospholipid and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathways after 48 hours. These effects are an outcome of acute seizures and early myocardial injuries disorder in the group of experimental rates. Metabolite set enrichment analysis results also showed that pancreas, nerve cells and mitochondria are the most affected organs. The toxicity of a given compound refers to its ability to disrupt some biological functions at a certain level of biological organization (i.e., cell, tissue, or organ) It is also related to the amplitude and the duration of the exposure and also to the degree of absorption of the substance by the organism, its distribution, biotransformation and elimination or accumulation (Topol, 2004). Understanding the mechanism of a toxic event is a challenging task, especially in the field of drug research and development. The symptoms caused by scorpion stings in animal models are similar to those observed in humans (Padilla et al., 2005). Glycerophospholipids are known to display a high degree of molecular heterogeneity in mammalian tissues. In addition to their function as structural components of membranes, some molecular species may participate in specific biophysical and biochemical functions (Mason and Dobbs, 1980). Krshina Murthy (2000) suggested that the probable mechanism of death due to scorpion envenoming syndrome is alteration in phospholipid fractions concentrations mainly phosphatidylinositol and phospatidylglycerol (Murthy, 2000). He postulated that disruption of phosphatidylglycerol choline and phosphatidyl inositol are the main causes of death. Glycerophosphocholine metabolite are involved in cell signaling and membrane integrity of the cell and serine is the precursor for choline and acetylcholine biosynthesis which is required in the brain and therefore any damage of the cell membrane can affect glycerophospholipids metabolites pathway and its concentration. In our study, Glycerophospholipid metabolism was one of the main pathways that have been altered by envenomation and this confirms the Krishna Murthy hypothesis. Scorpion envenoming causes fuel-energy deficits and results in inability to utilize the existing metabolic substrates by different organs, which ultimately may lead to death. This is caused by a massive release of catecholamine, angiotensin II, an increase in glucagon and cortisol (Amaral et al., 1994; Avogaro et al., 1996; Balasubramaniam and Murthy, 1984; Basu et al., 1990; el-Amin, 1992; Gajalakshmi, 1982; Gueron and Ilia, 1996; Mirakabadi, 2013). Steroid hormones mediate a wide variety of vital physiological functions such as anti-inflammatory agents. They are also principally, involved in cell signaling, integrity and stability of the cell membrane as well as fuel or energy storage and energy source in cells. In our study cholesterol, dehydroepiandrosterone, 2-methoxyesterone and aldosterone profiles have shown changes. Disruption of cell membrane and liver function failure resulted due to cytotoxic effect of the H.lepturus venom (Heidarpour et al., 2012; R . Dehghani 2012). So the alterations in steroid hormones metabolites pathway are due to cytotoxic effects of venom. In the present investigation, envenomation by H. lepturus causes alteration in carnosine and 1-methylhistidine metabolite concentration of histidine metabolism pathway. Carnosine which is an endogenous cytoplasmic dipeptide(b-alanyl-l-histidine) and have numerous physiological activities in normal muscles activities (Nagasawa et al., 2001) Histidine and carnosine at low concentration could improve hyperglycemia complications with reduction of proinflammatory cytokine levels, increase insulin secretion, and enhance glutathione peroxidase activity. It has been showed that serum glucose elevated and hyperglycemia resulted by envenomation (Lee et al., 2005). Therefore, alteration in carnosine might be due to hyperglycemia state produced by scorpion venom. GENNIP (1999) showed that pyrimidine metabolism which is the building blocks of DNA and RNA is responsible for the cell programming machinery. Pyrimidine metabolism along with purine pathway fulfills a variety of functions in the metabolism of the cell of which the most important are regulation of energy conservation and transport, formation of coenzymes and of active intermediates of phospholipid and carbohydrate metabolism (GENNIP, 1999). Nyhan (2005) postulated that the catabolic pathways for pyrimidine have yielded a number of patients with specific enzymatic deficiencies, most of them with mental retardation, seizures, or both (Nyhan, 2005; Nyhan, 2005 ). Degradation disorders of pyrimidine can be presented as anemia, neurological deficits or devastating multisystem mitochondrial disorder (H. Anne Simmonds and Gennip, 2003). Our results also showed that the concentration of four metabolites of pyrimidine pathway i.e. Dihydrothymine, Deoxyuridine, Deoxycytidine, and Beta-alanine were changed which might be due to neurological deficits and acute seizures, which are caused by scorpion venom and change in cell metabolism. Venom of many scorpions species cause the activation and delay of inactivation of neural sodium channel which induce a massive release of catecholamines and acetylcholines by the postganglionic nerve both in the circulation and in specific organs, such as increase in rate and force of contraction of the heart tissues.(Gueron and Yaron, 1970; Sofer et al., 1997) Tyrosine is the main precursor for catecholamine, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Our results demonstrated that some of intermediate metabolites in this pathway including iodotyrosine, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid and acetoacetic acid metabolite show changes which might be due to increase in catecholamine secretion in the stung victim. Similar clinical manifestations of diabetes are usually observed in scorpion sting victims(Zare and Tanikawa, 2002). Scorpion envenoming causes the release of counter-regulatory hormones (glucagon and cortisol) with suppressed insulin secretion. Under these conditions, the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, and fat is directed towards catabolism. This provokes gluconeogenesis with glucose elevation in serum. During catabolic states such as starvation and diabetes free fatty acids and ketone bodies, compete as fuels for muscle metabolism. Whereas, after prolonged starvation in man free fatty acids displaced ketone bodies as preferred fuels for oxidation in striated muscle (Hagenfeldt et al., 1971; Owen and Reichard, 1971) intracellular ketone-body concentrations in striated muscle increased plasma concentrations rose during starvation and diabetic states and causes ketoacidosis and increase of H+ ions concentration of blood . In our study, synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies specially acetoacetic acid was affected in this pathway which is in accordance with Krishna Murthy study (Murthy, 2000). To summarize, our findings show that the application of metabolomics approaches could play an important role in the characterization of biochemical pathways in the animal model, which envenomed with Hemiscorpius lepturus venom. Our finding indicates the involvement of multiple system and organs in scorpion envenoming syndrome in which the most affected organs are pancreas, nerve cells, mitochondria, and spleen with similarities to acute seizures, the early marker of myocardial injuries and different seizures disorder, which confirm the earlier acute scorpion pancreatitis and myocardial injury reports (Bartholomew, 1970; Novikov et al., 2000).

It is simply a book that expresses not only the wonder but also the tenderness that encounters with whales and other giants of the sea engender. The story tells of Anne Colletââ¬â¢s experiences as a young girl to a well known biologist. à à à à à When Anne Collet was a child she had her first encounter with the sea, as many young children do, by going on vacations with her family. From that point on she knew it was what she would want to do with her life. She went to college at a university in Brest and enrolled into the department of marine biology. This is where she began to study the sea and all its creatures in it. In 1973 Anne had her first Dolphin encounter and from then on became infatuated with the ââ¬Å"Giantsâ⬠of the sea. Her passion was for Dolphins and Whales. Collet became, and is today, the founder and director of the Center for Research on Marine Mammals in La Rochelle. She has been a Biologist for the past twenty years and has enjoyed every second of it. In her books she speaks with vivid intensity of her encounters with whales, dolphins and seals throughout the worldââ¬â¢s oceans. She conveys the thrilling aspects of her work with marine mammals, from the sublime gaze of a whaleââ¬â¢s eye to the race to save animals harmed by drift nets or toxic spills. Like the teenagers she regularly takes on her voyages, the reader will not only learn about such things as whale evolution and the unusual sensitivity of dolphinsââ¬â¢ skin, but will experience her passion for the ocean, respect for its creatures, and heartfelt concern about ââ¬Å"scorched seaâ⬠policy of over fishing, trawl fishing and pollution.

It was published in the June 26, 1948, issue of the The New Yorker. Written the same month it was published. It is ranked today as ââ¬Å"one if the most famous short stories in the history of America literature.â⬠It has been studied in preparatory schools and in universities since its publication. It is very controversial. Some like it, others do not. The lottery has climax, mood and theme.The lottery has a really crazy climax. Climax is the point of greatest emotional intensity in plot. I think the climax of story is killing the person who picks the lottery up. When they kill the woman, their eyes are changed to jealous. Someone said ââ¬ËHurry up!ââ¬â¢ and then they throw stones to the woman. Among the people, their family included. I was shocked about her family killed their mother. Even if the sonââ¬â¢s face was very pitiful, his parents gave a stone and let him cast it. The chillin g climax also shows serious mood.The story also has extremely serious mood. The mood is generally defined as the atmosphere in the story. Although weather, surrounding and background in the story are sunny and clear, the electing process of the sacrificial victim is too quiet. The weather is a contrast to the village people. At least, the woman has only a tragic ending. She was killed by her friend and family. I think the best of the scene is children kill her too. Itââ¬â¢s impossible, though custom is very important, they shouldnââ¬â¢t have let person sacrifice for their personal goal. These things made me confused to understand the story. The lottery has a theme which is difficult to understand. When I saw the title ââ¬Å"The lotteryâ⬠, I think this story has a good ending, but woman who won the lottery was killed by stones casted by people who she believes and love. It is very irony. Why they killed who won the lottery? I canââ¬â¢t understand this story exactly. But the author who wrote lottery gives us some message. There is old saying ââ¬Å"Donââ¬â¢t judge a book by its coverâ⬠I think this crazy climax and serious mood make me difficult to understand this story.In conclusion, ââ¬Å"The Lotteryâ⬠is a short story which uses crazy climax, serious mood. I think Shirley Jackson who wrote ââ¬Å"The Lotteryâ⬠gives us some messages. First, donââ¬â¢t judge by appearance. This story title is ââ¬Å"The Lotteryâ⬠, but the ending is died who won the lottery. Second, we should remove wrong culture. Wrong culture killed innocent person. So, wrong culture is changed quickly. I searched a lot of information of this story. People say this story is written objectively. I strongly agree with this comment. They were extremely relieved when saw the women who won the lottery. In the movie of last scene, I felt selfishness from them.

We see this happening every day in the land around us, and the rock cycle labels that set of events and processes erosion. We should be able to look at a particular sediment and tell something about the rocks it came from. If you think of a rock as a document, sediment is that document shredded. Even if a document is shredded down to individual letters, for instance, we could study the letters and tell pretty easily what language it was written in. If there were some whole words preserved, we could make a good guess about the documents subject, its vocabulary, even its age. And if a sentence or two escaped shredding, we might even match it to the book or paper it came from. Provenance: Reasoning Upstream This kind of research on sediments is called provenance studies. In geology, provenance (rhymes with providence) means where the sediments came from and how they got where they are today. It means working backward, or upstream, from the grains of sediment we have (the shreds) to get an idea of the rock or rocks they used to be (the documents). Its a very geological way of thinking, and provenance studies have exploded in the last few decades. Provenance is a topic confined to sedimentary rocks: sandstone and conglomerate. There are ways of characterizing the protoliths of metamorphic rocks and the sources of igneous rocks like granite or basalt, but theyre vague in comparison. The first thing to know, as you reason your way upstream, is that transporting sediment changes it. The process of transport breaks rocks into ever smaller particles from boulder to clay size, by physical abrasion. And at the same time, most of the minerals in the sediment are chemically changed, leaving just a few resistant ones. Also, long transport in streams can sort out the minerals in sediment by their density, so that light minerals like quartz and feldspar can move ahead of heavy ones like magnetite and zircon. Second, once sediment arrives at a resting placeââ¬âa sedimentary basinââ¬âand turns into sedimentary rock again, new minerals may form in it by diagenetic processes. Doing provenance studies, then, requires you to ignore some things and visualize other things that used to be present. Its not straightforward, but were getting better with experience and new tools. This article focuses on petrological techniques, based on simple observations of minerals under the microscope. This is the kind of thing geology students learn in their first lab courses. The other main avenue of provenance studies uses chemical techniques, and many studies combine both. Conglomerate Clast Provenance The big stones (phenoclasts) in conglomerates are like fossils, but instead of being specimens of ancient living things they are specimens of ancient landscapes. Just as the boulders in a riverbed represent the hills upstream and uphill, conglomerate clasts generally testify about the nearby countryside, no more than a few tens of kilometers away. Its no surprise that river gravels contain bits of the hills around them. But it can be interesting to find out that the rocks in a conglomerate are the only things left from hills that vanished millions of years ago. And this kind of fact can be especially meaningful in places where the landscape has been rearranged by faulting. When two widely separated outcrops of conglomerates have the same mix of clasts, thats strong evidence that they once were very close together. Simple Petrographic Provenance A popular approach for analyzing well-preserved sandstones pioneered around 1980 is to sort the different kinds of grains into three classes and plot them by their percentages on a triangular graph, a ternary diagram. One point of the triangle is for 100% quartz, the second is for 100% feldspar and the third is for 100% lithics: rock fragments that havent fully broken down into isolated minerals. (Anything that isnt one of these three, typically a small fraction, is ignored.) It turns out that rocks from certain tectonic settings make sedimentsââ¬âand sandstonesââ¬âthat plot in fairly consistent places on that QFL ternary diagram. For instance, rocks from the interior of continents are rich in quartz and have almost no lithics. Rocks from volcanic arcs have little quartz. And rocks derived from the recycled rocks of mountain ranges have little feldspar. When necessary, grains of quartz that are actually lithicsââ¬âbits of quartzite or chert rather than bits of single quartz crystalsââ¬âcan be moved over to the lithics category. That classification uses a QmFLt diagram (monocrystalline quartzââ¬âfeldsparââ¬âtotal lithics). These work pretty well in telling what kind of plate-tectonic country yielded the sand in a given sandstone. Heavy Mineral Provenance Besides their three main ingredients (quartz, feldspar, and lithics) sandstones have a few minor ingredients, or accessory minerals, derived from their source rocks. Except for the mica mineral muscovite, they are relatively dense, so theyre usually called heavy minerals. Their density makes them easy to separate from the rest of a sandstone. These can be informative. For instance, a large area of igneous rocks is apt to yield grains of hard primary minerals like augite, ilmenite or chromite. Metamorphic terranes add things like garnet, rutile, and staurolite. Other heavy minerals like magnetite, titanite, and tourmaline could come from either. Zircon is exceptional among the heavy minerals. It is so tough and inert that it can endure for billions of years, being recycled over and over like the coins in your pocket. The great persistence of these detrital zircons has led to a very active field of provenance research that starts with separating hundreds of microscopic zircon grains, then determining the age of each one using isotopic methods. The individual ages arent as important as the blend of ages. Every large body of rock has its own blend of zircon ages, and the blend can be recognized in the sediments that erode from it. Detrital-zircon provenance studies are powerful, and so popular nowadays that theyre often abbreviated as DZ. But they rely on expensive labs and equipment and preparation, so theyre mainly used for high-payoff research. The older ways of sifting, sorting and counting mineral grains are still useful.

Is it power to the fetus or to the women? The famous Roe v. Wade trial, which was supposed to settle the idea and was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court that was supposed to decide the issue of abortion. It was ruled in 1973, that the right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, extended to a womanââ¬â¢s decision to have an abortion, but that the right to privacy must be balanced between the womanââ¬â¢s and the stateââ¬â¢s interests in regulating abortions: which is to protect prenatal life and protecting the womanââ¬â¢s health. Roe v. Wade reshaped the nationââ¬â¢s politics and divided the country into pro-choice and pro-life sides, while at the same time, it also created hostile states toward abortion clinics and creates the challenge of getting an abortion more difficult. Everyone has an opinion on abortion, whether or not they want to voice it. Some people think itââ¬â¢s immoral to kill a fetus, something that could potentially gestate into a living, human being. Some people think that it is entirely up to the woman. And others think that itââ¬â¢s none of their business. Ever since Roe v. Wade, many states have been trying to create a more difficult aversions to abortions in many ways. Some states tried to make it harder by payment, such as restricting certain insurance payments.

Modern media uses approaches that focus on sex and the stereotypical descriptions and concepts of the roles men and women play as customers. These methods create a female communal issue that started in the 1960s with the interpretation of stereotypical housewives. Today, this image has changed into a different societal problem for women. New advertisements are revealing women in ways different from ever before: the Robert Cavalli fashion advertisement located in Style Magazine exposes the inaccurate insights that are placed on women of a very sexualized and obedient female gender role in American culture. The color arrangement design and graphic emphasis of the advertisement supplement the structure of the excessively sexual female purpose in society. When taking a first look, the ad is quite spectacular. It is flamboyant and easily visible while flipping through the magazine. The ad uses lively colors to emphasize the two themes and really focus on their faces. The colors have a variety of bright greens and orange-reds to modest blues and browns towards the low parts of the ad. These colors are used to get the magazine readerââ¬â¢s attention and help them see the clothing. The background is a bright orange drape that makes people look to the people at the center of the page.

Answer: Introduction For alignment of mind and body mental health is a core component. In this report mental health is a priority and novice ideas are formulated for recovery. Sandy Jeff, one of the eccentric community educators alleviates the people suffering from mental illness. She promotes several steps for specific individuals to overcome from stress, depression, inequalities or discrimination in the society. In this report emphasis is done on National health framework that showcases the basic principles required to avoid mental illness. Sandy deliberately shares the live experiences and ensures how recovery can be achieved through her stories and poetry. Main ideas are described from the National framework for recovery-oriented mental health service and the guidelines are suggested for the practitioners. Thus this report deals with the issues of mental health, its recovery methodology and how sandy has contributed to mental illness in empowering the society. Sandy Jeffs Discussion Sandys video typically stated the necessity of supporting amass group of people and individuals in the society who are prone to mental illness to not only to eradicate the stigma but also to alleviate the suffering from the root level. As a society it is the duty to provide people with right opportunity, as they suffer from mental illness due to variety of reasons like lack of employment, stress or depression. A mental disorder can be due to depression, anxiety or fear. In the video Sandy Jeffs focused on the reflection of live experience and policy for recovery. Sandy depicted many live experiences outlining Sallys story that is not able to live a normal life as she is not very much socialized in her job as well as have family stress (Health.gov, 2018). Due to such reasons she suffered from depression and from mental illness. Sandy used to discover the recovery frameworks to outline the mental health services. Recovery from mental illness is possible but it requires a support from f amily, peers as well as professionals. It requires new and innovative ideas for recovery. There are various stages of mental illness, initially the normal activities start differing and there are no social connections. Mental illness makes the people unstable and Sandy Jeffs mentioned that goal is to maintain stability (Scholarwork, 2017). The important factor which helps in recovery is right environment, satisfying work, and good relationship. Sandy stated that there exists a link between recovery phases as well social inclusion to help people to regain their place in the community. Sandy suggested that for recovery the patient should be involved in educational, training as well as volunteering opportunities so that it supports an individual. It increases the sense to control the mental illness, as there are four dimensions to recovery like health, home, purpose and community. Sandys focuses on life recovery by making everyone informed about the healthy lifestyle by supporting phys ical and social well-being (Thisismyreality, 2018). She stated that engaging an individual in daily activities help in reducing the mental stress. National framework for recovery It is an important policy that is developed to improve the delivery of mental health services. It collaborate all the services related to mental health recovery approach. This framework helps in guiding the patient to resolve their mental illness. It describes that there are various networks to support mental illness. Network starts from home, community to work places. They design recovery oriented services which helps in facilitating the connections to gain maximum benefits (Isaacs, Sutton, Dalziel Maybery, 2017). It has designed various recovery plans to remove the uncertainty, loss and stress. This framework focuses on principals that provide them with growth experience. One is uniqueness of an individual that make sure that every individual is been recognized. This helps an individual in gaining health focus by empowering the personal care. This framework allows an individual to make correct choices, to ensure that balance is maintained between the support and duty of care so th at risks are avoided. It describes the rights and attitudes of an individual by properly listening to the issues and taking actions accordingly (Jacob, Munro, Taylor Griffiths, 2017). It protects the individual from all human right by promoting the support provided by social and vocational activities. The national framework of recovery ensures that evaluation of recovery strategies continues and quality services are provided for improvement (Naslund, et. al, 2017). Lived experience via stories and poetries Sandy described some lived experience by depicting poetries and stories as lived experience of people suffering from mental illness and the issues faced by family members are the key concern of this framework. It focuses on the people suffering from this experience rather than focusing on organizational priority for delivering better services (Sandy , 2018). Concerning the lived experience helps in offering them with new opportunity that enhances them in transforming the framework for better delivery of services (Newman, O'Reilly, Lee Kennedy, 2017). It looks to the challenges and offer the transformation by expertise. Recoveryin the experience of mental health The sole purpose of this framework is to range the health professional by setting hospitals, care centres as well as public service centres (Loos, et. al, 2017). The recovery in the experience of mental illness includes empowering everyone in the society by being sure that they are getting proper care as well as assuring that every individual as unique recovery plans. It supports every individual by making by taking their personal decisions without any inferences from the society. It promotes all the legal right of citizenship among individual that will support every individual in terms of social, occupational as well as recreational activities (Hancock, Scanlan, Gillespie, Smith-Merry, Yen, 2017). This part of principal deal with the fact that every individual gets dignity and respect from the community. This can be done by removing the discrimination from the sort and treating everyone with the same perspective (Hancock, Scanlan, Gillespie, Smith-Merry, Yen, 2017). It acknowledge s that every individual is unique and it practices all the positive ways to helps an individual to know their own potential and goal (Hancock, Scanlan, Gillespie, Smith-Merry, Yen, 2017). Examples from the work of Sandy Jeffs Sandy Jeff implement recovery orientated practice by its poetries and stories as it directly showcase the real life experiences of people suffering from mental illness by providing them with hope and motivation to support better mental health. She provides guidelines for self-recovery to cope up with mental illness (Frost, et. al, 2017). One of the live experiences described by Sandy was about old women who were all alone as her parents died when she was very small. She managed her daily expenses by working in a grocery store but it was very difficult as she suffered from many hardships and suffered from mental illness and no proper treatment was provided to her. Sandy suggested in her poetries that first step should be focusing on the actions to be undertaken. She explained that recovery is personal and should be acknowledged during the journey (Denneson, Cromer, Williams, Pisciotta Dobscha, 2017). Thus she described in her stories about various people and their challenges. She analysed to overcome from mental illness the brain should adapt to positive hope and is essential to recover. It was researched that hope plays a nominal role in recovery of mental illness. Sandy suggested that everyone surrounding the patient that is the family members and other supporting people should keep hope for betterment. She always provided the motivation in her poems to endure the strength required to confront the challenges faced by mental health problems and illnesses (Acu, 2018). The recovery journey of mental health is not difficult it just understands the necessities of their lives. There are various issues in the community, family or culture. By using an appropriate recovery approach it support people in learning how to make their own path by involving family members and society (Australian government, 2010). This helps in identifying the illness and focuses on strengthening the social network. Sandy in her stories states that families play a crucial role in betterment of mental illness by providing emotional, social as well a material support (Sandy Jeffs, 2018). They can support by expressing them with ways of hope and building them with strength to sustain in the community. Sandy discussed about various government policies that produce innovative ideas for protective security among women as well chil drens for healthy development. Government has launched various plans to ensure that welfare systems works according to the promotion strategies and opportunities are engaged regarding the policies (Parker, Dark, Newman, Korman, Rasmussen Meurk, 2017). Conclusion Thus it can be concluded that mental illness is a common issue in the society now a days and to avoid that Sandy Jeff promotes and shares her ideas in schools and at community level. She discussed the basic root cause and other relevant factors which lead to development of mental illness through her poems and stories. She emphasizes the core concern which relates to madness, domestic violence, inequality as well as discrimination in the society. It can also be concluded from this report that national framework has played a vital role in recovery and improvement of mental health services. This report defines experiences of an individual and their mental health issues, emotional distress and the drastic impact and upcoming consequences of mental health issue. Various measures and necessary steps are defined by Sandy and major focus is laid on personal recovery to entirely resolve the mental health issue.

From the Louisiana Purchase in 1803to the Gadsden Purchase in 1853 the United States had tripled in size since itsoriginal thirteen colonies and only paid forty-five million dollars in doing so. The idea of Manifest Destiny spread quickly throughout the country and soonthousands were moving westward in search of a new way of life. The idea ofManifest Destiny was for the U.S. to occupy the entire continent. The onlyproblem was that the land it was expanding on to didnt belong to the U.S. Onesuch factor that influenced the expansion of the U.S. was the occupation ofnearby territories by foreign countries. The largest territory and first one tobe bought by the U.S. was the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. In order for theUnited States to expand successfully into the west they needed control of theMississippi River, which at the time was owned by France. The port at NewOrleans was extremely important to the navigation of the Mississippi andprovided a good market for trade. While this purchase was very successful,others did not go as well. Prior to the Mexican Cession of 1848 the UnitedStates and Mexico were having boundary disputes over where the Texas boarderexisted. President Polk reacted by sending troops into Mexico to protect theTexas boundary lines. A year and a half later Mexico surrendered and Texas wasgranted the Rio Grande border line in the Treaty of Guadalupe. Because of thedifferent nations or countries that owned land on the continent, the U.S. wasforced to purchase or fight for the land it wanted. This caused the newlyacquired territories to have a more diverse group of people, which affected thesocial development of the nation as a whole. Another huge factor that played arole in expansion was that of available resources. As the people began to movewestward they would settle in areas with vast amounts of natural resources suchas lakes or streams, where they could gather food. Lakes were very important totravel because they provided drinking water for the people and attracted wildanimals to the area, which could be hunted for food. Also if an area were to dryor rocky it wouldnt be settled. People looked for the best places to live,places they coul d profit from the most. During the gold rush everyone traveledto the western coast in hopes of becoming rich for the very same reason. Thisfactor affected the economical and social development of the U.S. becausecertain areas or regions would produce specific products. Different types ofpeople would also live in the separate areas depending on wealth or trade thatthe family specified in. The third and maybe the greatest factor affecting themigration across the land was geography. Mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, andin some cases canyons were among the biggest impediments for people moving outwest. At first people began to settle beyond the Appalachian Mountains andslowly moved westward towards the Mississippi River. Here they had to cross withtheir belongings safely without sinking them or getting them wet. Next they hadto cross the Great Plains that stretched on for miles and miles without food orwater. Depending on the time of year it was the weather conditions variedsometimes ma king it impossible to travel because of snow or heavy fog. Finally,the Rocky Mountains stood in their path. Being the only obstacle left betweenthem and the Pacific Ocean, the Rocky Mountains were the most difficult to pass. .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 , .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .postImageUrl , .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 , .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:hover , .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:visited , .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:active { border:0!important; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:active , .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513 .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ue83fb4bc8b003614e2ad9f610a39b513:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Romeo And Juliet (637 words) Essay We will write a custom essay on US Expansion Of 1800s specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now Travelers would be lost or stranded in the mountains with no food for weeks,sometimes turning to cannibalism. Many people died from disease and starvationduring their difficult trip west proving it to be virtually impossible to reachthe other side of the continent. These natural barriers slowed the progress ofexpansion across America and isolated groups of people traveling, causing themto settle where they were. Because of this, small towns or villages formed alongthe routes west. The geography also contributed to the social development ofAmerica as the barriers isolated people and kept the economy the same indifferent sections of the country. This had many bad affects on the economies insome areas where the people were dependent upon one thing resource, crop, orproduct. During the time of expansion large areas of land were given to theUnited States from foreign countries. Great Britain contributed the most land tothe U.S. through treaties especially at the end of the Revolutionary W ar. Francesold the Louisiana territory to the U.S. inexpensively and Spain also soldFlorida to the United States in the Adams-Onis treaty. Every foreign nationsigned a treaty with the U.S. agreeing to sell their land claims in thecontinent, except for Mexico. Mexico caused the most problems politically,economically, and socially. The United States went to war with Mexico overTexass boundaries and won, taking Texas and the people with it. Through thepolitical confrontation with Mexico the U.S. changed its own economic and socialdevelopment by bringing Mexicans into the country. With every purchase or treatythe U.S. made they took in more and more people from other countries changingthe social development country.

Baghdad had been a sleepy fishing village on the Tigris before it was promoted to the status of the capital city by the great Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 762.à His grandson, Harun al-Rashid, subsidized scientists, religious scholars, poets, and artists, who flocked to the city and made it an academic jewel of the medieval world.à The scholars and writers produced countless manuscripts and books between the late 8th century and 1258.à These books were written on a new technology imported from China after the Battle of Talas River, a technology called paper.à Soon, most of the people of Baghdad were literate and well-read. Mongols Unite Far to the east of Baghdad, meanwhile, a young warrior called Temujin managed to unite the Mongols and took the title Genghis Khan.à It would be his grandson, Hulagu, who would push the boundaries of the Mongol Empire into what is now Iraq and Syria.à Hulagus primary purpose was to solidify his grip on the heartland of the Ilkhanate in Persia.à He first completely annihilated the fanatical Shiite group known as the Assassins, destroying their mountain-top stronghold in Persia, and then marched south to demand that the Abbasids capitulate. The Caliph Mustasim heard rumors of the Mongols advance but was confident that the entire Muslim world would rise up to defend its ruler if need be.à However, the Sunni caliph had recently insulted his Shiite subjects, and his own Shiite grand vizier, al-Alkamzi, may have even invited the Mongols to attack the poorly-led caliphate. Late in 1257, Hulagu sent a message to Mustasim demanding that he open the gates of Baghdad to the Mongols and their Christian allies from Georgia.à Mustasim replied that the Mongol leader should return to where he came from.à Hulagus mighty army marched on, surrounding the Abbasid capital, and slaughtering the caliphs army that sallied out to meet them.à The Mongols Attack Baghdad held out for twelve more days, but it could not withstand the Mongols.à Once the citys walls fell, the hordes rushed in and collected mountains of silver, gold, and jewels.à Hundreds of thousands of Baghdadis died, slaughtered by Hulagus troops or their Georgian allies.à Books from the Bayt al-Hikmah, or House of Wisdom, were thrown into the Tigris, supposedly, so many that a horse could have walked across the river on them. The caliphs beautiful palace of exotic woods was burned to the ground, and the caliph himself was executed.à The Mongols believed that spilling royal blood could cause natural disasters like earthquakes.à Just to be safe, they wrapped Mustasim in a carpet and rode their horses over him, trampling him to death. The fall of Baghdad signaled the end of the Abbasid Caliphate.à It was also the high point of Mongol conquest in the Middle East.à Distracted by their own dynastic politics, the Mongols made a half-hearted attempt to conquer Egypt but were defeated at the Battle of Ayn Jalut in 1280.à The Mongol Empire would grow no further in the Middle East.

As the leaves begin to fall in autumn, people often find these odd-looking formations on their garden plants and wonder what they are. Many people guess that its a cocoon of some kind. Although this is a sign of insect activity, its not a cocoon. This foamy structure is the egg case of a praying mantis. Soon after mating, a female praying mantis deposits a mass of eggs on a twig or other suitable structure. She may lay just a few dozen eggs or as many as four hundred at one time. Using special accessory glands on her abdomen, the mother mantid then covers her eggs with a frothy substance, which hardens quickly to a consistency similar to Styrofoam. This egg case is called an ootheca. A single female mantid may produce several oothecae (the plural of ootheca) after mating just once. Praying mantids typically lay their eggs in late summer or fall, and the young develop within the ootheca over the winter months. The foamy case insulates the offspring from the cold and provides them with some protection from predators. Tiny mantid nymphs hatch from their eggs while still inside the egg case. Depending on environmental variables and the species, the nymphs may take 3-6 months to emerge from the ootheca. In spring or early summer, the young mantids make their way out of the protective foam case, hungry and ready to hunt other small invertebrates. They immediately begin to disperse in search of food. If you find an ootheca in the fall or winter, you may be tempted to bring it indoors. Be forewarned that the warmth of your home will feel like spring to the baby mantids waiting to emerge! You probably dont want 400 miniature mantids running up your walls. If you do collect an ootheca in the hope of watching it hatch, keep it in your refrigerator to simulate winter temperatures, or better yet, in an unheated shed or detached garage. When spring arrives, you can place the ootheca in a terrarium or box to observe the emergence. But dont keep the young nymphs confined. They emerge in hunting mode and will eat their siblings without hesitation. Let them disperse in your garden, where they will help with pest control. Its usually possible to identify the mantid species by its egg case. If youre interested in identifying mantid egg cases you find, includes photographs of the most common mantid oothecae found in North America. The egg caseà shown above is from a Chinese mantid (Tenodera sinensisà sinensis). This species is a native of China and other parts ofà Asia but is well-established in North America. Commercial biocontrol suppliers sell Chinese mantid egg cases to gardeners and nurseries who want to use mantids for pest control.

Book I of the Republic encompasses the debate between Thrasymachus and Socrates, where the former makes two assertions about justice. At first, he declares the notion as mere the ââ¬Ëadvantage of the strong over the weakââ¬â¢; and secondly he views justice as ââ¬Ësubmitting to the prevailing statutes of the state law.ââ¬â¢ (Hourani, 111) The powerful governments, according to Thrasymachus, strive to implement their policies by dint of the force they enjoy in comparison with the weaker states; consequently, the policy is expected to be observed and followed by all the weak nations. As a result, it becomes the law, which is unconditionally and unanimously imitated by all. Consequently, it is equally beneficial for the weaker due to the very reality that it would be obeyed by all the weak without discrimination, and hence will become a law for all individuals. The sophist also argues that justice imposes unnecessary restrains on the human desires, and thus it does not turn out to be advantageous for the majority of the people in general. Hence, on the one side, Thrasymachus defines justice as the exploitation of the weak individual(s) or stratum at the hands of the powerful; and on the other side, he declares it as the abiding of the uniform law, which looks at everyone on the foundations of equality and impartiality. Thus, stronger group signifies the elite or ruling stratum of society, while the weak can be compared to the masses at large. Since the stronger stratum not only articulates the rules and laws, but also abides the same rules it has devised for all, these statutes of law are supportive for the protection of the rights of the weaker too. Somehow, Socrates points out contradiction in the very definition of justice Thrasymachus has developed. Consequently, it invites criticism from Socrates because of the contradiction it contains in its very scope. Socrates, during his cross examination of the very arguments made by Thrasymachus, vehemently refutes the validity of his viewpoint. He is of the opinion that since the individuals, even from the strong and ruling classes, are humans, and hence can make mistakes, they cannot be expected to devise error free laws, policies and strategies. On the other hand, even their most sincere efforts can maintain flaws and mistakes while devising the laws; so these statutes, in the form of advantages and privileges for the stronger, are unable to present the real picture of justice in their nature and scope. Somehow, Thrasymachus counters Socratesââ¬â¢ objection by stating that the rulers are free from making errors or committing mistakes till they are at the helm of the power. And even if they commit they same, there is no one to chal lenge or point out their mistakes till they are enjoying the position of rulers. In other words, the weaker strata do not have the power to put even the incorrect rules into jeopardy. Consequently, they remain as the laws of the country till the individuals, introducing the same, are in the power. (Bloom, 25) Being one of the greatest logicians the world has ever produced, Socrates could not submit to the Thrasymachusââ¬â¢ claim that rules and laws are devised for the benefit of the rulers only. On the other hand, he clarifies his objection with the example that the artwork is created for the consumers and public, and not for the use of the artisan. Similarly, the shopkeeper involves into trade and merchandise by bringing commodities for the people. It is therefore, justice carries advantages for the common man at first, and hence cannot be attributed to the dominant political group only. Socrates also cites the professional abilities and proficiencies of the Garryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02939714554511524570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082899398472781452.post-26455817165911084042019-11-19T23:00:00.001-08:002019-11-19T23:00:59.159-08:00What is Justice Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 1What is Justice - Essay Example In that context, it will be really interesting to delve on the concept of justice in a lay and historical context. The laity tends to predominantly associate the term justice with fairness. In a general context, by justice, people tend to mean and expect to be treated fairly as a citizen and as a human in all spheres of public life. By justice, people expect not to be discriminated against owing to any personal or social attributes like race, ethnicity, gender, age and other political or social affiliations. In a biblical context, some principles tend to be rooted in the very essence of the concept of justice. As per Bible, justice is rooted in the very nature of God and, hence, humans should desist from dispensing justice as an omnipotent and all knowing entity (Greenberg, 1995). Hence, Bible facilitates a very liberal approach towards human justice, that extends due leverage to all the sides engaged in a dispute. Bibles envisages justice in the light of relationships and tends to settle the respective jurisdictions for the church, the state, the family and varied other constituents of the society (Greenberg, 1995). The Hebrews considered the God to be just and the one who expected his adherents to be just. The biblical idea of justice is rooted in the Covenant, which expects the believers to retain justice in interpersonal relationships otherwise they stood the chance of being judged. Plato gives much importance to the concept of justice in his works. Platoââ¬â¢s concept of justice is amply akin to the notions of ethics or morality that includes within its ambit all the duties of a man both as a citizen and as a family member (Parry, 1996). As per Plato, justice happened to be the virtuous aspect of the soul, before which men were expected to set aside the irrational desire to taste all pleasures (Parry, 1996). Hence, to a great extent, the Platonic concept of justice laid down the condition for exercising Garryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02939714554511524570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082899398472781452.post-50865771246105703872019-11-17T11:30:00.001-08:002019-11-17T11:30:05.040-08:00Life-Based Leadership Principles from Jack Welch Essay Example for Free Life-Based Leadership Principles from Jack Welch Essay During the hundreds of millions of years of natural evolution on this planet, survival has always been a continuous challenge for living creatures. It has recently to come into light that in the past four million years, there have been scores of human species on the earth, besides us homo sapiens. However, all of these various human-like beings including the Neanderthal man perished in the course of evolution; we humans have outlived all of them. We have emerged as the true survivors. We are the last ââ¬Å"manâ⬠standing. However, in the whole history of the world, survival could have never been as tough as it is in todayââ¬â¢s world of big business. It is an ever-changing, dizzingly fast-paced, intensely competitive and danger-saturated environment out there. There are many survivors and many winners in this arena, of course. Of all such exceptional people in the recent decades, there is one man who stands out as a celebrated icon of leadership and business success. And it is none other than Jack Welch of GE, arguably the finest CEO in the latter half of the twentieth century. Speaking from a broad perspective, he is not just an exemplary business leader, but a hero, a survivor, a symbol of the triumph of man. Jack Welch is a man who believed that each individual should control his or her own destiny. Welch sums up his conviction thus: ââ¬Å"Today, I see winning as people defining their objectives and fulfilling them, not being a victim. You define where you want to go, and then you go for it ([emailprotected]) And from the depth of this belief perhaps sprang the secret of his greatness. Starting from the early Eighties, Jack Welch, CEO of the General Electric Corporation, has led his company through one of the most revolutionary and far-reaching changes ever witnessed in modern business history. Having taken GE with a market capitalization of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as its CEO 20 years later, in 2000. Although Jack Welch was the legendary leader of a global manufacturing giant noted for its technological might and superiority, he has utilized a very human process to drive change through GEs vast organization. He honoured the individual above all, and the humanity of the individual. To him, the individual was the pivotal force in bringing about organizational change. And for the major part of his immensely successful career at the helm of GE he relentlessly embraced change. It was change that made GE businesses leaders in their markets, added profitable, productive businesses to GEs family, and tapped the brains of knowledgeable employees. Welch worked for change, and change worked for him. Jack Welch of course knew how difficult change could be. Nevertheless he viewed change as his only real chance to transform GE into the kind of top-notch competitive enterprise that he wanted it to be. Only through continuously undergoing massive changes, GE could win, and Jack Welch firmly believed in winning. He wanted to be a winner. And winners were not afraid to make changes. However, pursuit of change, empowerment of individuals, and such principles are only part of a broder human-centric principles of successful leadership in which Jack Welch passionately believed in. Welchââ¬â¢s original approach to management and leadership, which proved so successful in transforming GE could be summed up unders six heads: Control your destiny, or someone else will. Welchs first maxim became the title of a semi-autobiographic bestseller that described the revolution at GE. The basic approach that Welch followed to carry out a dramatic revolution at GE was to trust the individual and let him or her believe in their own desitiny. Welsh believed in delegating authority freely, fairly and responsibly, within the company. In a general context, however, while no mere human being can have absolute control over his or her destiny, the point is to take total personal responsibility for oneââ¬â¢s own life and actions, and assume intelligent control of the course of things. 2. Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it were. Facing reality is tough. Facing reality means looking directly into suffering, failure, inadequacy of ourselves, others, and the world, something which we human beings are programmed to avoid. When corporations do not face simple realities, however, such as their products costing more to produce and being worthless than those of their competitors, market share and profits drop, the company and its employees suffer. Welch saw all these things happening at GE. Only when we are ready to honestly examine ourselves and acknowledge our shortcomings, will we be able to do anything about them. Acceptance can lead to transformation. 3. Be candid with everyone. Traditional wisdom says that honesty is the best policy. This home-spun truth has great relevance in todayââ¬â¢s hyper-modern corporate settings. Welch strove to create an atmosphere at GE where people could effortlessly speak up to somebody in authority, who could then do something about their problems. It is an atmosphere, it is in the air of GE. Welch himself regularly spoke with front-line employees on the plant floor. Welch was equally open to hear both the good and bad things about GE. Honesty, sincerity and candor: they have their own rewards. In a bureaucracy, people are afraid to speak out. This type of environment slows you down, and it doesnt improve the workplace, says Jack Welch. He therefore calls for promoting a corporate culture that appreciates and rewards honest feedback. You reinforce the behaviors that you reward. If you reward candor, youll get it. 4. Dont manage, lead. Welch abhorred a strictly hierarchical type of management built on the concept of control. To Welch, managers should become leaders who show the way to other people by inpsiring and motivating them. Instead of controlling and exploiting workers, leaders should liberate and empower them. Do not push and pull your employees at every opportunity, gently guide them towards greater possibility. Welchââ¬â¢s leadership philosophy continues to be very simple: empower others, ask questions, tap into the potential of all of your associates, choose integrity and candor over charts, graphs, and politics, and spend more time in action instead of planning and posturing budgets. 5. Change before you have to. That is to say, proactivity. One has to be able to look ahead and predict changes that future is going to necessitate. In the context of a business organization, it is far better to change early those things in a company that need to be changed to stay competitive, when there is still plenty of time, rather than forcibly having to change them later when an adverse reality in form of failure and loss thrusts itself in the face of the organization. Welch was fond of yelling across the table at meetings, Change, before its too late! 6. If you dont have a competitive advantage, dont compete. Welch often quoted his business maxim that every division at GE had to be number one or number two or get out of that specific business. In the 1980s, Welch was convinced that inflation would soon become rampant thereby slowing down economic growth. The elimination of the old-line businesses was not going to be an easy job in terms of loss of jobs and lowering of morale that it implied. But Welch had to do what he had to do. The Number 1 or number 2 philosophy ââ¬â as ruthless as it sounds ââ¬â had been critical for GE to grow and survive in the modern world.
