Abstract

Nowadays, the role of English can be hardly overestimated. Being a truly global language, a pathway to greater opportunities and the window to broader knowledge and other cultures, English keeps widening the horizons of its possibilities and functions. At the same time, teaching English as a foreign language requires taking great responsibility and, therefore, it often appears as a truly challenging task. This research aims to consider the importance of teaching English as a second language and the implications that may arise during the learning process so as to define key tendencies and principles in ...

After the 1960s, many African Americans and other minority communities as well as women were denied equal opportunities in housing, education and other areas. Many Americans faced unequal economic opportunities and jobs were not distributed adequately to the entire populace (Gourevitch, 163).

The cold war in Europe led to economic difficulties as there was free flow of trade between communist Western Europe countries and capitalist Eastern Europe countries. The McCracken Report as mentioned by Goldthorpe states that ...

1.1 Analyse culture in an organisation Organisational culture are the values, attitudes and practices that contribute to the “unique social and psychological environment” within a business, or organisation (“organizational culture” 2016). Needle (2004) notes that this is a complex process of creating collective values through shared history, understanding of market, hiring and firing of employees, management style, vision, norms, systems, symbols, language use, beliefs and habits. This allows for a set of shared assumptions, which increase the sense of teamwork, and establishes the pattern of collective behaviours and behavioural expectations within an organisation (Ravasi and Schultz, 2006). Successful companies, ...

Introduction

The European Union is the result of the flow of economic integration in the world. It was created in 1958 and became a powerful economic group. Within the framework of the Union, the benefits of mutual trade are established, the general economic policy is carried out, and restrictions on the movement of goods, capital, and labor are constantly removed (Krugman, Obstfeld, and Melitz, 2014). The creation of the EU was due primarily to the fact that in Western Europe after the Second World War, the contradiction between the international character of modern production and the narrow national and state ...

Overview of the Case Study

Over the years, the Singapore government had been operating on a two airline policy that had promoted efficient interaction between the government-owned Singapore airline, and its national competitor, Silvertail Airlines. For about 10 years, the duopoly worked so well until 1990 when other competitors joined the airline industry, following the airline deregulation policies adopted by the government. Consequently, the share price of Silvertail Airline Company started changing due to the friendly services such as low cost charges offered by its major competitors. This wind of change prompted a transformation in the company’s board of directors, which was replaced ...

Introduction

The negative or positive experiences of early childhood play a very significant role in the development of the social and emotional behavior of an individual. According to Fagundes, Bennett, Derry, and Kiecolt-Glaser (2011), the ability to understand the social and emotional behavior of an adult is complex because it requires one to have a comprehensive understanding of their entire lifespan (p. 40). This is because the social and emotional development of an individual are influenced by several factors that they encounter during their major stages of growth in their lifespan (McClelland, Ponitz, Messersmith, & Tominey, 2010, p. 35). Some of ...

Human Resource Dilemmas

It is evident from Timothy’s Reverson’s case that the employment practices of Cameron Lake boat Rentals are authoritative. The company has imposed an authoritative control over the working conditions of the workers as evidenced by it compelling its workers to sign the employment arbitration agreement.

Workers in the company can do very little to fight for their rights as they are bound by the resolution by arbitration. It was illegal and unethical for the company to terminate his employment ...

All organizations be it public or private strive to survive to progress and grow.

Due to this reason, organizational change theory has been a very useful tool for management practice. There are various and multiple information sources available today on change theories to help managers manage change in organizations.

Activity 1

The organizational structure that is presently in the organization is functional structure. In the functional structure, each organization’s portion is grouped in accordance with its objective and purpose (Daft & Marcic, 2010). For example, in company Jimi’s Jammers there are four departments, guitar manufacturing department, guitar design department, customer sales and service department. The decision making is, however, at the top of hierarchy as employees are dependent on decision of their leaders, and leaders are in turn dependent on decision of Henrich. There is chain of command, and the flow of information is from top to bottom. This ...

MODERN MARKETING FOR AN ANCIENT CITY

Introduction

Belfast is one of the world’s most ancient cities, its location at the mouth of the River Lagan having been continuously occupied since about 2,000 years BCE. There are good reasons for this. Courtesy of the Gulf Stream, the site has a mild climate that seldom gets above 65 degrees F. or below 35 degrees F. Its northern latitude gives it one of the world’s shortest winter, and longest summer, days at the biannual solstices. It rarely snows. The city is ringed by low mountains that create a microclimate to ...

The employment practices in Timothy Reverson’s case can be characterized as; i) Rudimentary- Employees in this company seem disrespectful and don't seem to obey protocol or procedure as Timothy's case showed. This could be as a result of organizational culture and how to organization has been past. ii) Slow in growth- It seems that the company has grown very slowly over the years. Timothy has been a part of the company for 15years and yet only 17employees are members as of now. It shows their employment practices are stagnant; recruitment is slow or there simply isn't room for ...

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Introduction “Change management is referred to as the process of initiating, implementing and controlling change in an organization” (Kneer, 2013, p. 3). Managing change is a unique task that requires a set of skills and procedures in order to ensure success through attaining a specific goal. The starting point of change is the definition of a problem that an organization may be experiencing at a given time.

Complex systems are currently a controversial issue which many authors and researches have discussed in their attempt to relate to its complexity. Mitchell (2006), for instance affirms that, “What has transformed historically and what has resulted in the topic being fascinating is the key technique for the study of complex systems is a simulation. It’s also because of this, powerful machines, particularly clusters, made way for empirical insight into this topic (p. 119).” The primary framework for the complex systems as a course is that it is impossible to illustrate, or comprehend the behavior of a system by ...

Introduction

The need for change in any environment, individual or organizational, cannot be overemphasized because of the critical role that change creates in these situations. However, individuals are said to be change agents that enable organizations to change a transformation that creates a positive culture, bottom line and public image (Burke 2013). In this assessment, the paper discusses a change theory applicable to the article by Kimberly King, “Leading Through Change.” It makes a critical review of the article based on the theory and then gives a personal perspective on how to implement change.

Rhetorical Analysis. For this rhetorical analysis essay I examined UK Prime Minister David Cameron's opposition of a 2016 referendum called the “Brexit Exit”. I examined his arguments in a recent article, unpacking the reasons and justifications Cameron used for his position. I felt this was a great opportunity to become exposed, in a detailed way, to how actual politicians use rhetoric in an argumentative or adversarial political context.

Rhetorical analysis asks you to investigate how a text persuades its

audience by identifying a writer’s argumentative strategies in light of contextual constraints and exigencies. These analyses come in many forms: political commentary, critical essays, opinion editorials, and case studies. What ...

Introduction

In the advent of globalization, an increasing number of people have opted to move across countries due to the relatively diminishing size of the world. Employers have also found themselves in receipt of multiple job applications from foreign individuals. The hiring and retention of a foreign employee are usually guided by a different legislation than the one governing the employment of national employees. One of the most fundamental freedoms provided by to the EU citizens is the free movement of persons.

During the course of my college studies, I have taken part in different group assignments and projects, where I had to function in the role of a group leader and manager. One of such group projects turned out to be extremely difficult and challenging for me as team members were negligent, disorganized, and disinterested in the final results of our project. It was especially difficult for me to work together with one troubled student who was always late to the group meetings, ignored the majority of the assigned tasks, and put no effort into the project at all.

Is too much Power Given to The Prime Minister with the British System of Government?

Introduction More often than not, the American president is the one referred to as the most influential person in the world. However, there are some restraints put forth on the president’s power that is not present in Great Britain that is led by a Prime Minister. According to Bennister, (2012, p.43) "Prime Ministers have to act per the political, social, and economic situation in which they find themselves, and instead, have the power as well as resources to mold the environment they occupy either consciously or unconsciously." Additionally, within the political structure of Britain, the Prime Minister’s ...

After hearing such negative sexist talk directed towards a colleague, I would take several measures aimed at ensuring that the perpetrators of the act know that their actions are wrong and should not be repeated. I would also put effort in supporting Jim, who in this case is the victim, encouraging him and urging him to stay strong in a bid to make sure that he comes out a much stronger individual. The best means of communicating would be face-to-face communication as it is a rich channel that enables instant feedback and suitable for personal conversations (Cameron, p.68).

The two articles in context, one penned by Donna Laframboise, titled “Roll Back the Red Carpet for Boys” and the other written by Stevie Cameron, titled “Our Daughter, Ourselves”, have two very different perspectives to the issue of gender equality and feminism. In my view, a close scrutiny of the respective writings would enable one to understand how the articles explore two very different avenues of gender discrimination citing proper examples and subjective arguments. According to my analysis, while Donna Laframboise focuses on the fact that the boys find themselves in oblivion of the society while there is outcry ...

The articles “Roll Back the Red Carpet for Boys” by Donna Laframboise and “Our daughters, ourselves” by Stevie Cameron talk about gender inequality in the eyes of the public, but the truth is that both boys and girls are victims of discrimination. I support the equality and believe that boys should be treated as well as girls are and that girls should not be over-protected. There is the emotional appeal in the article “Roll Back the Red Carpet for Boys” because the author, who is a journalist, writes about the difficulties that young boys face during the process of ...

The Oscar-nominated film ‘12 years a slave’ stands as an epitome amongst all the period films which have their central theme based on the plight of slaves in America. This review aims at assessing the various aspects of the film which made it a huge success and a matter of adulation for the global cinema lovers. The content of the film is extremely well crafted via using an autobiographical account which makes it perfectly competent for its plot(Cameron and Belau 227). The most interesting part of the film is that the story focuses on the most traumatic and ...

The viewing experience of any one classic film made by director Akira Kurosawa, the influential Japanese filmmaker, can elevate the viewer’s taste for cinema to a whole new level. He had been able to make not merely a couple, but dozens of classic films of high artistic and creative caliber. In an October 06, 1985 interview with Julia Cameron, Akira Kurosawa said that films are something that carry across to many different countries and are seen by many different kinds of people. In this sense, they have a tremendous power of communication (3). His films rarely fall short ...

The controversy over the understanding of ethnicity and ethnicity unfolded in America and Europe in the early 1970s following the collapse of the colonial system. Many foreign and domestic scientists are engaged in the consideration of the complexity of inter-ethnic relations that has arisen within countries (the so-called “ethnic paradox of our time”). Most of them in their studies refer to the concept of social constructivism (Berger, & Luckmann). This approach allows one to display the natural multiplicity of ethnic identity. Supporters of this trend claim that the ethnic consciousness can have multiple layers; it can be forked and split ...
