Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business. Besides enabling a ...

The Corpus Callosum is the largest commissure, which facilitates communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The views on the value of the Corpus Callosum are varied: from the most "useless" to those defining the higher cognitive functions of human brain structure. According to modern concept, the role of Corpus Callosum is not limited to the transfer of information. This commissure enables meta-control of the information in both hemispheres, as one of them must establish the function of its processing (Banich, 1995). Corpus Callosum not only transmits sensory information, ensuring its double representation in every hemisphere, ...

Community based correctional programs are a commonly used alternative to prison. They are an effective option especially when it comes to reducing recidivism, are cheaper, and also prevents overcrowding in prison. In this case, the community based program will feature several aspects. First, it will feature a functional family therapy. Every individual needs the input of family members to change. Unfortunately for offenders, it becomes difficult to relate positively with family members.

The process of making public policy is based on some collected information that is used to represent the views of the public on some issues.

The policy so formulated affects every citizen irrespective of whether they have contributed any information or not (Guess & Farnham, 2011 pp. 23). Some of the policies are formulated with objectives of protecting and serving the interest of some individuals who are perceived to have more power and influence than others.

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years. Characterized by segregation and violence in response to any opposition, the order came to its end. While in the transitional period, the country established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the restoration of national unity. Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

For a while, the role of computers was ignored because people never thought it could be the next big thing in the world. They never understood that the invention was the best way of automating services and granting them a change within the system (Carr, 2003). The benefits accrued from the utilization of the computers have grown in various measures over the past decade, an attribute that has made their presence equivocal in the growth of various ventures. Just as Facebook did, many more platforms will be developed to help people communicate, share and be in touch despite the ...

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 ...

Managing risk is a vast endeavor, not easily understood. Hampton (2011, p. 2) describes that “one large corporation identifies 2,100 business unit risks and 800 common risks across all business units” in his assessment of financial risks. For the current project, we will focus on financial risks and organization risks. Diebold, Doherty, & Herring (2010, p. 1) indicate that for being successful, risk managers must be “constant grappling with the known, the unknown and the unknowable.” The authors think of the ‘unknowable’ as a conceptual framework to improve decision-making: managers have to recognize and contrast situations that are ‘known’ ...

This analysis considers the cost behavior of the various cost items in order to determine the cost and profit at various levels of activity. Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with changes in output. Variable costs are costs that change with changes in output. Semi-variable costs are costs that are partly variable and partly fixed. Stepped fixed costs are costs that remain at a particular level of activity but step-up to a new level when activity level exceeds a particular point (Drury, 2012). In this case, the cost items are classified into either fixed costs, variable costs, ...

This myth is very popular. It is not surprised that I used to believe in the myth about left and right brains. It seems to me that almost all my friends, relatives, acquaintances believe in the idea that people who have more developed right hemisphere are more talented, creative and even genius. I do not remember when I learned this myth the first time, but I know that even some of my school teachers hold this myth. I used to believe that left-handers are very special or that to be left-hander is better than to be a right-hander. One ...

Response: 1 In the ethical violation news about the woman in Texas, the primary concern is that, can we consider her parents’ and husband’s decision as her own free will? A person who is medically declared as brain-dead cannot take a decision. In most of the cases, such patient’s relatives take the decision. As we discuss the right of the patient to be freed from life support, we should also think about the right of the baby in her womb to live. Removing the life support will kill the baby as well, which leads to another serious ...

The concept of patient-centric care is based on the prioritization of patient needs and the tailoring of the care plan to the specific cultural, social, economic, spiritual and psychological needs of the patient. This approach has significantly helped improve patient outcomes due to the increased focus on the holistic management of the patient meaning that all the existing socioeconomic and cultural demands of the patient are met at the point of care (Purtilo & Doherty, 2015). However, this approach has not been easy for the nurses and the healthcare worker. While the focus has been on ensuring that the beliefs, ...

The most important part of an office, company, or institution is its human capital. They invest so much in their human capital or human resource because their outputs are based on the performance of their people. In this matter, businessmen and agencies do agree in one single principle: the success of their company is based on their employees and so it is important for the management to take good care of their people (Kozlowski). However, due to the differences in the employees’ attitude, values, culture, principles, and agenda, there are times that issues come up between themselves (Doherty & Guyler). ...

As Madeleine Leininger noted, nursing is built on the element of caring; nurses are caregivers and thus their interaction with the patient is a necessity rather than an option. Any role that falls within nursing and seeks to cut off the link with the patient cannot in any way find its basis in nursing. My philosophy is built on Linenger’s description of the role of nursing as a process that affords a patient in need the chance to meet and interact with a caregiver who cannot only give them access to resources but can help them cope within ...

According to the National Center for Fathering (2016), in the United States there are an estimated 24.7 million children living without their biological fathers. In the 1960’s only 5.3% of children were born out-of-wedlock, in 2010 that percent has risen to ...

The theory asserts that conflict in the families is a very normal occurrence .Conflict theories view family as a class in society, which one of the group is oppressing others (Otomar & Wehr, 2002). Debatably, a family is not just a social entity of children and married couples. It is a social group in which its members are linked to each other through marriage, ancestry, living together and adoption .In addition they care for each other and share economically. Family is just but a section of society. Conflict theories have variety of roots from systematic approach of society by Marxist and intra-psychic approach of individuals ...

INTRODUCTION

Society is typically divided into units of families; this social institution is meant to allow parents to raise children in the way they wish, imposing values and discipline upon the children and prepare them for the outside world. As the decades go by and the nature of society changes, families must change as well. There are many sociological theories by which to examine the role of families in society, and the roles of individuals within that family, but some lenses fit better than others. In this essay, we will look at the social institution of family through a functionalist, conflict, ...
