And it is an built-in question that we must ask ourselves Are wars rightfully adept for scrimping?ECONOMY AND WORLD WARSthither are several reasons to enter a war. Although economic reasons are the most measurable, patriotism, loyalty and friendship towards a population and the belief of helping the needy and the right out non only decides if a nation should enter a war but in as range decides which side that realm would join. human War 1The United States entered the war veritablely late. They were participants f or approximately an year and a half from April 1917 to noneember 1918.1 This trivial amour in terms of days was very distinguishable from the point of put on of contribution. The number of Americans serving the Army was much(prenominal) than a staggering quartette million. Not only did they provide men to the fighting nations, they also tote up out them with groovy supply of raw materials and weapons and ammunition.2Before the war, the American prudence was in a bad shape. However, the buying of U.S. weaponry and goods for war by the fighting Europeans and when the U.S. itself joined the conflict, the saving boomed.3 Hugh Rockoff writes that if the United States had non converted the opportunity of fashioning and delivering goods and weapons to the European assort, it would have been next to impossible for the realm to enter and gain ground the war.4 The massive business of such goods, which were added only after sounding at the demands do by the European countr ies, ensured easy entrance of the United States.5 Also, the goods were made in such a track that the country itself would need it if it enters the war.6 The Americans had genuinely realized that the spoils of the war, if they won, would be enormous and the profits were non ignorable.Hugh Rockoff also ob administers that opening into the war in 1917 unleashed massive U.S. federal blow overing which shifted national outpution from civilian to war goods. Between 1914 and 1918, some 3 million bighearted number were added to the military and half a million to the government.7 Infact, the impact of such role was that the ramble of un economic consumption came deck from 7.9 percent to 1.4 percent.8 This was not only due to the appurtenance of men in the armies but also because labours and workers were required in large numbers to new manufacturing jobs homogeneous manufacturing guns, war infrastructure and exploitation technology.9U.S. exports to the European countries, due to this war in 1917, shot up to almost tierce generation the year 1913s exports. spell U.S. exported goods worth $1.5 billion dollars in 1913, the sales were in excess of $4 billion dollars in 1917.10 promptly let us assume that the United States had got nothing to do with the war. It was a neutral country and was not supplying any goods to any European country. Also, let us assume that the raw material employ to stimulate these exports for the European countries were only able to manufacture swell up-nigh half as much value when such goods were transported to other countries which were not at war.11 base on these assumptions, if we calculate the value in output in the year 1917, the loss would come out to be a bit more(prenominal) than $2 billion dollars per year.12 In 1917, this was worth 3.7 percent the U.S GNP and most 6.3 percent of the total U.S. cost of war.13Rockoff estimates the total cost of ground War I to the United States at approximately $32 billion, or 52 p ercent of gross national product at the time. He breaks down the financing of the U.S. war effort as follows 22 percent in taxes, 58 percent by borrowings from the public, and 20 percent in money creation. The War Revenue Act of 1917 taxed excess profits profits special an amount determined by the rate of return on slap-up in a base period by some 20 to 60 percent, and the tax rate on income starting at $50,000 ruddiness from 1.5 percent in 1913-15 to more than 18 percent in 1918. Meanwhile, treasury monument William Gibbs McAdoo crisscrossed the country peddling war bonds, even enlisting the help of Hollywood stars and Boy Scouts. The prevalence of patriotic themes created social crush to purchase the Liberty bonds (and, after the armistice, the Victory bonds), but in consecrate the new bondholders did not make a tangible personal devote in buying war bonds, since the yields on these debt instruments were comparable to those on well-worn municipal bonds at the time. As can be seen, patriotic motives were not sufficient to alter market prices of assets during the war.14Due to this war, various infrastructural projects were taken up and developed want Railroad, fuel and granaries. Since men had to go to war, the women took up the initiatory of working in companies, etc. This ensured the economic freedom of women and more and more women started working.It is often said that the ones gain is anothers loss. Wars are no different. Where one countrys, the United States, economy was loss through a positive transformation, the economies of the European powers were humbled. Even though the Allies won the war, the major participants, the British and the French, suffered massive losses. Saints have said that Everything that shines is not gold. They may have won the war, but economically, they had been fooled by this shine.However, the losses were circumscribe mainly to the strife fields. Overall, even the British economy (in terms of GDP) grew by around 14-15% during the four to five years of the world war. However, the country preoccupied its men fighting for the country.15 As discussed earlier, war also involves patriotism and umteen civilians hence started saving and investing in wars rather than the normal consumption. These investments were used majorly for ammunitions. The Governments share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) lift from 8% to 38% in these five years.16The story of the Germans, the losers of the war, was however very different. Not only they had to give huge taxes and compensation, in that location economy was brought to the knees. Germany, in force(p) like any other country, had to borrow money from various banks, the axis of rotation powers and even its citizens. When the Germans deep in thought(p), they had to kick in back even these creditors. The Germans were left in huge debts and their economy was destroyed. And the main cause of their destruction was the Treaty of Versailles. sayd to be a peace tre aty, many people claim it to be an meaningant reason of the Second public War. This treaty literally forced the Germans to accept huge compensations a total sum of 6.6 billion.17 This amount was way beyond the financial capacities of the Germans. Economy doesnt only mean the money or financial capacity. It also means the territorial extend of the country. After all, even territories are the properties of a country. After the First World War, Germany had to give up large chunks of its territories to the Allied Forces.The Versailles treaty deprived Germany of around 13.5% of its 1914 territory (some sevener million people) and all of its overseas possessions. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France, and Belgium was enlarged in the east with the addition of the formerly German border areas of Eupen and Malmedy. Among other territorial re-arrangements, an area of eastern hemisphere Prussia was bridge playered over to Lithuania, and the Sudetenland to Czechoslovakia. The German arm y was limited to a uttermost of 100,000 men, and a ban placed upon the use of heavy artillery, gas, tanks and aircraft. The German navy blue was similarly restricted to shipping under 10,000 tons, with a ban on submarines.18The other financial and economical clauses of the treaty are dealt with in obligate 248 to 312 with certain Annexes.Hence where some countries were enjoying the spoils of war, the other countries had to pay heavy compensations and reparations.World War 2World War 2 was no different when the reasons for the war are given a thought. The world had seen one of the sterling(prenominal) economic tragedies ever in the form of the Great Depression of 1929, good 6 years onwards the start of the Second World War. on that point was chaos on the streets as people anomic on jobs and the unemployment rate was on an all time high, crossing the 25% mark. The companies were going bankrupt, economy was in a disaster and depression, as the name phenomenon suggests, was spre ad across the world. It was evident that another war was on its way.With the bear witness of Adolf Hitler and economic woes of Germany after accepting the Treaty of Versailles, Germans had to wage wars, once again with the Allied Powers.The U.S., like the previous war, joined this one later, approximately by 2 years. The country, however, like before, started producing and manufacturing wartime goods for the worst case scenario. When the United States got involved in the Second World War, the demand for labor shot up. To fight a war, country of necessity weapons and for that the country needs manufacturing facilities and labor in huge numbers. The national employment suddenly fell to a minimal 10% in retributory a few months of the declaration of war by the country from its 1940 level.19 The country was at war and weapons and infrastructure need to be built up with a rapid speed. Even fortification of borders and military bases abroad was evenly important.20 All these factors co upled with the fact that weapons and military equipments, vehicles and other wartime instruments needed to be transported and mobilized ensured vast labor requirement.21 The Employers wanted to fill the vacancies as fast as possible so as to meet the production demand. This however, brought in vacancies in other non-war areas. These sites were because filled by women and non white people. They had been excluded from a farseeing time from such industries which payed highly and involved high skills. Hence war meant employment for the whole country.22War doesnt only bring profits. It brings massive destruction to life and property. Britain gave us the Industrial Revolution, and the very same industries, which were the gazump of the Great Britain, were left nothing more to rumble. The damage that these facilities incurred, not only in Britain but also in other European countries, was much more than what they had incurred in the previous wars.23 Where the change incurred by France w ere approximately thrice of their total annual income, Britain suffered heavy losses in the form of damages to residential houses.24 About 30% of the homes in Britain were destroyed by Germans in the Second World War, first by the aerial blitz and then by bombs and rockets.25 The Germans, losing the war again, had their country divided into West and East Germany. While West was influenced by the capitalist USA, the East was the communist USSR.The economic woes for Britain and France were not limited to their own countries. They had to let go many important colonies as they had exhausted their money and resources and had none left for their militaries in these areas. India gained its independence as the growing revolts and violence in the country left Britain shocked. Britain had no more resources to deal with these violent outbursts and had to leave the country, just like they had to leave many other territories. USSR and US strengthened their economies during cold war, but USSR, a fter the nook of 1970, could not recover like the US and had to surrender in the cold war. It has been seen by historians that whenever countries have not at peace(p) to war or had no threat of being attacked, their economy have not grown or grown but with a very low percentage.But the wars, obscure from developing or destroying economies, affect common man too. Inflation and rise in taxes are the two main effects. These are however improvident term.Increasing taxes reduces consumer spending, which does not help the economy improve at all. Suppose we lessening government spending on social programs. Firstly weve lost the benefits those social programs provide. The recipients of those programs will now have less money to spend on other items, so the economy will dec run along as a whole. Increasing the debt means that well either have to decrease spending or increase taxes in the future its a way to delay the inevitable. Plus on that points all those interest payments in the me antime.26Lack of warsThe European countries in the western side of the continent have very little or no threat of being overtaken by another country in the present times. The politicians and ministers are therefore not criticized for not developing the economy faster. Infact, when these ministers lose their office, they are garlanded with income boosts from counseling and consultation as well as speaking fees. If not these, then they retire to an amazing and languorous holiday spot.27 This however is not true for the countries that formulation constant riskiness from their neighbors or other countries. An drill would be that of China and Japan. The Japanese tone great pressure, both territorial and geographical from the Chinese.28 This is true for India and Pakistan. India today is the largest importer of ammunitions as she faces constant and grave danger from its parted neighbors, Pakistan.Hence where countries like India face constant danger from almost all its neighboring co untries, they are the highest importers of ammunitions and weapons and countries like Switzerland, which are considered to be one of the most peaceful countries, hardly import any weapons.29 US spend approximately $650 billion dollars in ammunitions.30 This is what wars can do. They can make a country develop its resources and infrastructure.CONCLUSIONAs we can see, wars have the ability to develop an economy. In this project we dealt with common chord types of outcomes of a war. And each type had its representative. In the first type of outcome, the country wins. They win and enjoy a good deal of compensation. there economy grows by leaps and bounds, the rate of unemployment declines, infrastructure develops and the spoils of war compensate the losses they suffer. An example of this is the United States. While they joined late in the world wars, they had a great say and impact on the war. They had already developed their weapons and ammunitions and had gone to war with preparatio n. The second type of outcome is one in which although the country wins the war, they are badly hurt as far as economy is concerned. Their industries are destroyed, territories left damaged and even the spoils of war are not enough for their recovery. Britain and France are good examples of these. They won the Second World War but ended up losing more than what they won. They exhausted all their resources and their colonies gained independence. The leash type of outcome is one in which the country loses Germany being the example. Germany lost both its wars and had to pay damages which the obviously couldnt. Infact, they had to ask for loans from the same countries they had to pay the damages.But leaving aside these so called boosters of economy, can any war, battle or fight justify the loss of human life? How can we as humans put a value to a persons life? Economy may procure boosted but for a short while. The damage to life, however, is a very very abundant one. In conclusion, I would like to say that war, like alcohol, is an addiction. Initially it tastes good, you think that all the worries are now away. But its not immense before the person indulging himself in such addiction realizes that the pleasure was momentary, what he faces now is scars for life, which no money or economy can remove.1 price Fishback, U.S. Economy in World War I (eh.net 2010) http//eh.net/ cyclopaedia/u-s-economy-in-world-war-i/ accessed 28 June 2014.2 toll Fishback, U.S. Economy in World War I (eh.net 2010) http//eh.net/encyclopedia/u-s-economy-in-world-war-i/ accessed 28 June 2014.3 Carlos Lozada, The Economics of World War I (nber.org 2014) http//www.nber.org/digest/jan05/w10580.html accessed 29 June 2014.4 ibid.5 ibidem6 ibid.7 Ibid.8 Ibid.9 Carlos Lozada, The Economics of World War I (nber.org 2014) http//www.nber.org/digest/jan05/w10580.html accessed 29 June 2014.10 Price Fishback, U.S. Economy in World War I (eh.net 2010) http//eh.net/encyclopedia/u-s-economy-in-world-w ar-i/ accessed 28 June 2014.11 Ibid.12 Price Fishback, U.S. Economy in World War I (eh.net 2010) http//eh.net/encyclopedia/u-s-economy-in-world-war-i/ accessed 28 June 2014.13 Ibid.14 Carlos Lozada, The Economics of World War I (nber.org 2014) http//www.nber.org/digest/jan05/w10580.html accessed 29 June 2014.15 Niall Ferguson, The Pity of War Explaining World War I (1st, Basic Books, 1988) 249.16 Ibid.17 London Jewish Cultural Centre, Economic effects of the Treaty of Versailles (theholocaustexplained.org 2009) http//www.theholocaustexplained.org/ks4/the-nazi-rise-to-power/the-german-economy-c-1919-29/economic-effects-of-the-treaty-of-versailles/ accessed 29 June 2014.18 Michael Duffy, Treaty of Versailles, 28 June 1919 (firstworldwar.com 2009) http//www.firstworldwar.com/source/versailles.htm accessed 29 June 2014.19 David Siminoff and Deb Tennen, World War II Home Front (shmoop.com 2009) http//www.shmoop.com/wwii-home-front/economy.html accessed 29 June 201420 Ibid.21 Ibid.22 Ibid .23 Dr. Susmit Kumar, Consequences of World Wars I and II (susmitkumar.net 2010) http//www.susmitkumar.net/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=66consequenses-of-world-wars-i-and-iiItemid=38 accessed 29 June 2014.24 Ibid.25 Dr. Susmit Kumar, Consequences of World Wars I and II (susmitkumar.net 2010) http//www.susmitkumar.net/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=66consequenses-of-world-wars-i-and-iiItemid=38 accessed 29 June 2014.26 Jodi Beggs, Are Wars Good for the Economy?

Her paintings of flowers, skulls, horns, and pelvises against a colorful rising Mexico background are what made her known to the art world (Zophy 448). There are so many interesting facts about Georgia OKeeffe, which include her education and didactics, her major works and where they are, the follows she has received, and her oxford gray order of payments.Georgia and her siblings tended to(p) the Number Five District school house. This school was called the Town antechamber School. Georgia once stated, My memories of childhood are quite pleasant, although I dislike school. I left the local school when I was twelve, and was sent to a convent school in Madison, Wisconsin. It was the one year I ever really learned anything, (Robinson 24).While Georgia attended the Sacred Heart School, she was in the advanced section of her class. At the convent in Madison, I do nt even remember wanting to do anything I shouldnt, she said (31). In 1902, she was sent to the big public high school in Milwaukee. She didnt pay much attention to the academics and did not like the art teacher either. In the art room of the high school, she realized that the world through which she passing played was a never ending source for her work. Since the age of ten, she knew that painting would be her life long profession (Zophy 448).Georgia first taught at the Chatham Episcopalian Institute in Williamsburg, Virginia. The six weeks at Chatham showed Georgia how to continue her art, live in the country and be able to live off her artworks. It showed her a life she might make for herself after all (Robinson, 79).Georgia was offered a teaching position at the University of Virginia. When she wrote to a friend in Texas to get a reference, her friend told her about an opening in Amarillo. She immediately took the position in Amarillo. I was very excited about going to Texas, where baton the Kid had been, (Robinson, 86).Later she went to West Texas State Normal College in the Texas panhandle. Her teaching methods were unofficial. Georgia was head of her own department. She taught the students the methods of design, draw, costume design, interior decoration, and the teaching of rough drawing (Robinson, 159). unrivalled of Georgias many famous paintings is the Jack-In-The-Pulpit series. This series is a powerful celebration of the strong thrust of spring and of the Cimmerian secret tower enfolded in green. Due to the natural design of the Jack, the paintings have been viewed as sexual. Georgia did not like her paintings to be put into that family unit (Robinson, 354).Another series of Georgias paintings is the Corn series. She got the inspiration to paint this series while living with Albert, her husband, in the country. She loved working in her garden which is where the vision came to her. The design of the young plants while she was looking down on to them made an exciting and stirring statement to her (Robinson, 269).The Georgia OKeeffe Museum exposed on July 17, 1997 in Santa Fe, invigorated Mexico and was built for the purpose of preserving and presenting the life work of one of Americas famous creative persons, this museum now houses a abiding collecton of OKeeffes art (Georgia). OKeeffe Museums Director, slit H. Hassrick, added, OKeeffes life and work are central to the Santa Fe mix. When people visit Santa Fe, they think of Georgia OKeeffe, and an institution utilize to her artistic accomplishments, located in the region that inspired much of her work, is long overdue. (Georgia).There are more than eighty paintings, watercolors, drawings, pastels, and sculptures in the collection. One of the oculuspieces of the collection is Jimson Weed, a large-scale flower painting, one of her deary flowers, created in 1982. She liked to make more than one version of her paintings (Georgia). The museums long-range plans includ e the inninging of a study center on the museum grounds providing scholars, students, and the general public with reference materials on the life and art of Georgia OKeeffe and her fellow artists (Robinson, 423)Another place that Georgias paintings can be seen is at the case Gallery of Art. Secretary of Treasury, An force W. Mellon, first wrote of his interest in creating a national art museum in Washington, D.C. in the year of 1928. Later in 1937, Congress passed legislation to build the National Gallery of Art as an independent agency at heart the Smithsonian Institution. Four years later, the National Gallery of Art was dedicated by chairwoman Roosevelt in the evening of the seventeenth of March which was attended by over 8,000 guests (National).The mission of the National Gallery of Art is to serve the United States of America in a national role by preserving, collecting, exhibiting, and fostering the understanding of works of art, at the highest possible museum and scholarly standard, ( mission).The 291st Gallery in virgin York was the first gallery to recognize her talent. There were few galleries in New York that showed American art because each artist had their own special style (Younger). It soon closed currently after its opening in 1917 (Younger).Georgia had received many great honors throughout her life. Here are some of them in 1935 she was accepted for excellence in her field by the New York League of commercial enterprise and Professional Women. Later, in May of 1938, she received her first honorary degree, a doctorate of fine arts, from the college of William and Mary, in Williamsburg (Robinson 423). In 1939, she was chosen as one of the twelve most outstanding women of the past fifty years. Her painting, Sunset-Long Island, was picked to represent New York at the Worlds Fair (Ahsby, 432). In 1942, she was given a second honorary degree, this one from the University of Wisconsin. In 1946, Georgia received an honor from the Womens Nationa l Press Club, as one of ten women who had reached feature in their fields (Ashby, 451).Thirty-one years later, on January 10, 1977, Georgia was given the thenar of Freedom, which is Americas highest civilian award and was awarded to her by president Gerald Ford (The Award). Georgia recieved another award from a chair in April of 1985. This one was the National Medal of Arts, given to her by President Ronald Reagan. This is the highest award given to artists and art supporters by the United States Government. With this medal, the President recognizes the design of creative expression of Americas artists. This is a lifetime exertion award. (The Award) Georgia was given this medal one year before her death (National).In 1962, the American Academy of Arts and letter elected her into membership. That same year she was honored with the Bandeis University Creative Arts Award. In 1966, she became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (Robinson 507).Georgia OKeeffe also did many charcoal drawings. Her very first charcoal drawing was titled the Special No. 15, a very early drawing of the Palo Duro Canyon in Texas. It sends a remarkable and significant sense of place. wherefore eighteen years later in 1934, she drew Special No. 40. She wrote, This is from the sea a shell and paintings followed. Maybe not as good as this drawing. Also in this group of Georgias drawings is a rare charcoal drawing of her friend, the African American painter Beauford Delaney from the 1940s. In 1959, she made a charcoal drawing of a riverbed in a desert, which was inspired by sketches she made during one of her first sheet rides (Philidelphia).Another one, Banana Flower No. 1, was chosen by Albert to be shown in his gallery. Because of her high standards when drawing flowers, some people thought there was some hidden meaning in them (American). She also drew Maybe a Kiss in 1916, another of a series, because of a boyfriend who left (Robinson 133). In 1934, she drew th e Eagle Claw and bean plant Necklace (Robinson, 406).All of Georgia OKeeffes paintings and drawings had a reason to be drawn. The first reason is because she loved nature. Many times, she said, You know how you walk on a country road and notice a little tussock of grass, and the next time you pass that way you stop to see how it is acquire along and how much it has grown? (Robinson 233).Many of Georgias visions came from nature, she would tell apart people this by saying, When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, its your world for a moment, (Robinson, 33). She would walk through the pines and hear singing woods, (Robinson, 118). On the prairie she noticed how dried get up and skulls had a beauty of their own. She liked the color, strength, and shapes of these. (Robinson, 119)Another reason for her charcoal drawings is because of her emotions. In the nineteenth century, and in earlier decades of the twentieth century, art critics enjoyed the sentimental and lon g discussions of the emotional qualities in the paintings they saw drearness, tenderness, passion, rage all four were great feelings to be kept in print (Robinson, 178). It seemed she did most of her charcoal drawings when she was sad or lonely (Ashby, 133). She once told a friend that art was a force that passed through the soul (Robinson, 28).Summing up her life, Georgia moved to Abiquiu, New Mexico permanently after her husband died in 1946. She had visited there many times before and fell in love with the place. She rented a ranch and stayed there six months out of the year (Ashby 204). Her style was known as modernism. more or less of her most innovative works were in watercolors, pastel, and charcoal (OKeeffe). By the year of 1984, she was blind (Robinson 249). She spent the rest of her life with a nurse. She died on March 6, 1986 at a hospital in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was cardinal years old. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered into the windy landscape near h er house at Ghost Ranch ( Robinson, 550). This base has some of the many interesting facts about Georgia OKeeffe, including her education and teaching, her major works and where they are, all of the honors she has received, and her charcoal drawings. Georgia OKeeffe had a very interesting life, this term paper only touched on part of it.Works CitedAmerican. Arkansas Art Center. 2000. 20 Feb 2008. .Ashby, Ruth, and Deborah Gore Ohrn.

Bradford reagent used in the assay contains Coomassie Blue which produces a characteristic blue colour upon cover song to proteins in solution (Bradford, Anal. Biochem. 72 248, 1976).. Using a spectrophotometer the absorbance of the coloured product can be determined. outline of multiple samples may involve the use of a microtitre plate so that samples can be replicated and more legitimate results obtained. The use of microtitre plates also automates the process so results are produced very quickly. Samples are pipetted into multi-well plates and the absorbance values measured development a multi-well microtitre plate reader supply with a 595 nm filter.Part 1 Calibration Data for the Bradford AssayA calibration pervert for the Bradford assay in the range 0.2- 1.0 mg/ml was obtained using three replicates for each concentration, using a microtitre plate. These entropy are shown in Figure 1 below. Linear Regression Analysis was performed and the equation of the line of best fit, y=mx +c, was produced (where y represents absorbance, x is the concentration of protein, m is the slope of the line of best fit and c is the intercept of the line on the y-axis).Q1. Describe the relationship between protein concentration and absorbance for the Bradford assay calibration curve.Q2. What is meant by a line of best fit?Q3. Comment on the value of R2Using the values of the equation of the line of best fit, the absorbance value f or each standard was used to calculate the actual concentration of protein in each replicate. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation ((mean/SD)x100%) were calculate and are presented in Table 1 belowComment on the reproducibility of the assay in the range 0.2 to 1.0mg/ml of protein.Part 2 Investigation of the effects of detergents on the absorbance of a set concentration of protein, using the Bradford Assay.BackgroundYou are part of a research team that is looking at the different proteins involved in a cell signalling parcel of land which leads to the increased synthesis of a specific protein, P. One technique used in this work involves the use of cells kept under tissue refining conditions. These cells are treated with inhibitors, after which they are broken open by solubilisation of their membranes (cell lysis) and the soluble cell contents taken up into solution. Before compendium of the solution for levels of P, the total protein content of each lysate h as to be determined. One of the reagents in the buffer solution that can be used to solubilise the cell membranes is a detergent. Detergents can cause interference in a protein assay. In an investigation using the Bradford assay, two detergents at different concentrations were exposed to a set concentration of protein (0.5mg/ml). These are sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Triton X. The absorbance values were converted into protein concentrations using the equation of the line of best fit from the calibration curve and the data subjected to statistical analysis (One Way ANOVA). Mean data are compared in Tables 2 and 3, and Figures 2 and 3.

The Concept Of Media Framing

The caprice Of Media FramingIn this paper, we analyze the plan of media enclose in relation to the bring inion of a mosque at country zero. We identify the various frames employ by various media ho intents in the States and comp ar and contrast them. We analyze the related writings and the basic concepts confused in media inning. A general overview of the concept of media physique is also provided.Entman (1993) describes anatomy as a scattered concept where previous exploreers lack nominate conceptual meanings and depend on context-based commentarys, preferably than general applicability. Brosius and Eps (1995) proceeds that skeleton may non be clear in explication and generally used but can be seen as a metaphor which does not convert directly into research setting.While contrastive authors agree that on that point is lack of commonality in the definition of this term, people have a lot used the term frame to key out to similar but different approaches. For th is particular article, I now use the term framing to refer to the stylus media houses use mind-controlling technique to gain readership and viewership by providing what appears to be bracing but intricately woven to control the thought work on and popular surveys.Concept of Media FramingFraming can be comp ard to the setting of agenda or opinion but stretches the research by pin pointing the issues that area at hand instead of a particular topic. Framing theory necessitates the media effect an issue and then places it to connote a new meaning or opinion. It is a very important technique since make the media tailor he thoughts of the masses towards a particular direction hence they become opinion leaders. When the media selects topics, they direct the people where and what to think.When journalists choose a frame, they make sure that they evening provide a structure in such(prenominal) a way that their interview only interpret what is provided. A frame is a notion which serve s to organize or direct social meaning to a minded(p) issue at hand. Their intention is to make the targeted auditory sense to think rough the news bulletin or article and how to think about it.Media framing at grunge Zero Mosque ConstructionThis article looks at the myths, stories, metaphors, and narratives and traditions that the media employed to capture the attention of the American citizens and the wiorld at large and cause the final cause to construct acres zero mosque a big story. While research has show upn that the proposed Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque was not to be constructed at the unlucky World Trade Center site, the frames that were used clearly depicts that the media conditi matchlessd the thoughts of the audience to think in a particular direction.CNNs framing of the Mosque at Ground ZeroNumbers as a frameThe very preponderant frame used by CNN in the framing of the mosque at anchor zero is numbers. They used extremely large statistics in order to sh ow how grave the situation was being objected by Americans. They purported that a poll they conducted revealed that 68% of Americans opposed the construction of the establish zero mosque (McCormack, 2010).This is as postulated by mark (2002).Islamophobic phrases as a frameCNN televised mind-boggling Islamophobes on several do and if not all, Geller who once advocated for the destruction of Jerusalems Dome of Rock, which is a Moslems revered sites, and one who once depicted Muhammad with the face of a pig in her website (FAIR Blog, 2010) had appeared doubly on the CNNs network amidst May and August 2010 to state her order on the proposed construction. Her appearance and her contribution direct people to her perception of what Islam is about. Consequently, CNN by close extension frame the issue of proposed mosque construction and become opinion carrier and disseminates the same to the audience. This media house, ought to have stated the factual reports without tilting towards a nti-Moslem crusaders.Cooper 360 (2010) gave Fischer goggle box airtime to contribute that Islam is totalitarian and that it is anti-Christian and seeks the extermination of Western ideology on civilization. another(prenominal) segment of Cooper (2010) of Anderson Cooper featured Benham of pro liveness, anti-Islam crusade Operation just America, where Islam was termed as a lie from hell. This is in fact use of film as a framing device to cause the listeners to imagine, ponder and dramatize a Muslim-dominated America.Conceptualization of media framingFraming theoryExtant literature has been dedicated to the concept of media framing. This literature can be categorized into four broad stages. The initial stage which gives an account of media framing that occurred between the mid-twenties and the 1930s was characterized by event that occurred during the World War I such as propaganda effects as substantially as its beliefs regarding beliefs on the puzzle out of media on the posi tion of people (Scheufele, 1999). The second phase took place between the 1930s and the 1960s and was marked by issues that tended to put forward the gravitational attraction and nee of personal experience in the process of changing the pose of people. The researchers who noted this did believe that the main media effect was concentrated on the keep of the attitude that were already in existence as postulated by Klapper (1960). The turn over of the third stage which took place between 1970s and 1980s gave life to the new media effects that were even stronger. The focus of the media was in time rapidly shifted from attitude changes to more cognitive based effects as outlined by Noelle-Neumann (1973). The fourth stage which has been running from 1980s to present has been heavily marred by elements of social constructivism, as shown by the work of scholars such as Berger and Luckmann (1966), Gamson and Modigliani(1989) and Tuchman (1978) who are all social scientists. The other p ortion of literature on this stage of media effects has also been researched and discussed by political scientists such as Ivengar (1991) and Scheufele (1999).The concept of social constructivism attempts to make an explanation on the possible relationships that exists between media and the audience via a combination of elements of strong as well as limited media effects in the domain of mass media.The work of Gamson and Modigliani (1989, p. 2) flatly expressed the fact that Media discourse is part of the process by which individuals construct meaning, and universal opinion is part of the process by which journalistsdevelop and illuminate meaning in public discourse. The work of Gamson and Modigliani (1987) further portrays the real meat of media framing as being the main organizing idea or rather the story line that gives a meaning to certain upholding string of events. The frames then do suggest what a certain controversy is about as well as the real essence of the issue invo lved (Gamson and Modigliani, 1987, p. 143).Entman (1993) however points out that the meaning of a frame is tied down to the excerpt of certain aspects of a reality which is perceived in order to make them salient so as to promote a certain definition of a problem, its moral evaluation, causal meaning as well as the treatment of the recommendations (Entman, 1993, p. 52).The work of Iyengar (1991) made a differentiation between the thematic and episodic media frames. These episodic media frames are a depiction of public media issues which in essence are concrete instances as well as precise events that come about as a result of individualistic actions. The thematic framing reports on the other side are a systematic reflection of the problems that take place in our society on a level that is considered abstract but with outcomes that are general. The media framing of the Mosque at stain Zero is a perfect example of thematic framingMedia framing and elements of public deliberationTh e work of Simon and Xenos (2000) on media framing was concentrated on the analysis of media framing in order to research the influence of public deliberation that is actively involved in the process of social insertion as well as the changes that occur in our society over a period of time. They point out that deliberation is a process involving political argumentation that moves on through a process of straggly giving and taking. The effects are therefore intricately linked to the media framing effects as was indicative in their research (Simon and Xenos, 2000, p. 367).Media framing and the reasoning devicesThe work of Gamson and Lasch (1983) came up with an identification of various framing as well as reasoning devices that can be utilized as a combination in order to create frames. The framing devices include metaphors, exemplars, and optical images, depictions and metaphors. These do suggest a framework to be used in viewing of the issues involved. The reasoning devices on the other side include roots, draw principles and consequences. They are used in the provision of justification and reasons for the general positions that are adopted (Gamson and Lasch,1983, p. 399).The work of mark (2002) makes an addition to the list of devices that include synecdoche as well as numbers. Synecdoche refers to figure of speech which represents an idea in its total or in parts. Numbers on the other hand are used as a method of describing a certain phenomena as well as events using measurements. The most favorite technique is the use of ether abnormally large or small numbers in order to dramatize an idea as pointed out by Stone (2002,p. 137)Media framing as depicted by other channels and newspapersThe disoblige started with anti-Muslim activists when they suggested that the proposal a ploy by Muslims in American to captivate the memorial site of the September Eleven attacks (Big Government, 2010). The Big Government uses the record book conquer to capture the atten tion of the already audience who are insane about terrorism and the perceived Islamization of America. The point that the proposed site is closer to the ground zero site would not attract serious readership without using the intelligence information conquer to tune the minds of the audience to imagine America infested by the perceived enemies.A good timeline is provided by the Salon (2010) traces the genesis of the controversy to posts make by Pamela Geller on the web Atlas Shrugs blog (2010), a ejaculate of anti-Muslim forum. Which insinuated about the impending perceived Islamization of America? Geller (2009) retorted that the construction of the mosque at the creation trade centers site was about Islamic expansionism and domination. The term Islamization of America is a catch-phrase used to frame the story in order to agitate the American populace. He added that the Islamic center will instill and encourage the Qurans uncivilized texts. This narrative, together with what ex ists in the Atlas Shrugs blog, is intentionally designed to direct the audience to a specific line of agitation against Muslim rights in America.In addition, from May, the New York Post picked up a story and Andrea Peyser (2010), the columnist who dispersed the propaganda that the center was to open on the September 11 in the course 2011, and used repetitively the term Ground Zero mosque in his references to the heathenish center. This culminated into anti-Muslim debates as intended by the writer. This numerous use of the terminology of ground zero is use of numbers as a framing device. line of products between media houses on framingThe main contrast between the media houses was the sombreness of reporting the extent of media framing. This is depicted in the work of Nisbet and Garrett (2010) whose analysis shown that bedevil News was responsible for most of the rumors and misconceptions regarding the construction of the mosque at ground zero.decisivenessThe concept of media fr aming can be used positively and efficaciously in various parts of the human society such as in effectively improving businesses instead of using it to trample on basic human rights. It is important that it be used since it can be used in eliciting the true meaning of certain events.

Reflection On A Clinical Skill During Clinical Placement Nursing Essay

Reflection On A Clinical achievement During Clinical Placement Nursing EssaySociopsychologyThis render result discuss Reflection on a clinical Skill during the clinical placement, using Gibbs template. The essay is divided into four main sections. It go out first consider some definition of psychology and sociology it allow and then go on to describe an incident from both psychological and sociological point of view. The third part will apologize how to find origin for both incident, and then some conclusions will be drawn to exhibit the best things should be d genius(a). Finally it is my reflexion on clinical placement.psychological science is how long-suffering feel, Psychology tends to emphasis the individual in contents, and it is non roughly how they think. Sociology is to do with relationships, which operate among hoi polloi when they line together in groups. Sociology looks at how an individual operates from the contextual point of view. Class, ethnicity, reli gion, sex, disabilithy, age these kinds of things argon sociology, and anxiety, filtrate, falling off be psychology.The first Gibbs is slightly an old wench who was waiting for her roentgenogram in the room. She was lying on the t able-bodied, and she was crying as a child. It has been explained already her presentuation and the psychology point of view of this enduring and how constituents equivalent be in pain and stress or anxiety force usurp her. So inter in-person and peachy talk skill would assist this diligent and in like manner would help the radiographer to be more professional and the unhurried whitethorn accept their advice because affected role belief that the healthcargons are professional and competence and they nurture ability to treat them. The patient was suffering from the physical and emotional stress, and it is demand to k like a shot what the stress is and how its impact on patient. Stress is unclear solution of the body to whatever deman d further on, and can get physically or psychologically effect. Stressors are the situations that can cause stress. Physical emblem of stress can faster heart beat, increasing sweating, dry mouth, extend muscle, diarrhoea, irritability and anxiety. fretting is the result of being emotionally stressed. (Edward 2006)Everybody experience stress in their life, still individuals are divers(prenominal) and material circumstances are varied. thereof it is important to reduce stress from the patient, and it is our frolic as a radiographer to have a advanced communication with her, by using SOLER.try to sit squarely and with open position, lean forward and have nice sum wholesaler with her and then relax (Egan, 2002).speak nice and clear, but not too slowly, and dont inflate the movement of your leap, Use natural facial nerve expressions and gestures and do not to turn your confront away from a deaf person.55 per cent of communication is body language (Mehrabian ,1970). In thi s case we pack to use different way of communication, because she had a little bit difficulty with hearing, so get patient attention before starting to speak. Make sure the patient can see your face and watch your lip movement and facial expressions. Speak more slowly and keep your tones of your voice low, because old mountain tend to have more difficulty hearing high-pinched sounds. Older patient need more time to find out and respond. Be patient and anticipate them to repeat instruction. Explain the procedure for her, so she would be able to on a lower floorstand what is going on. It is good to limit your hand on her arms, so you will show your empathy and how friendly you are. It can be calm patient down. Be familiar with patients emotions. She had not been given enough information to know wherefore she is at that place, if she had, she could not been so worried. Explain clearly so that she would be able to understand you, and give her right instruction.According to psyc hologists for the patient suffering from psychological and sociological problem, in that jimmy are m any(prenominal) factors that determine our behaviour such as the genes we are born with, physiological brain, nervous system. Cognitive system, thoughts, perception. The loving and cultural environments in which we develop over time. Life experiences including those from childhood and personal differences including our IQ personality and mental health. Being alone would be one of the factors that whitethorn transmit to getting old and hopelessness. As we getting old, there tends to be a decrease in mobility and social relations, with a likely for loneliness and isolation. (Oxman et al. 1992).And now we are going to find sociological factors which might be affect her, including the psychology factors. We will consider her in scathe of age, race, sex and disability. It is easy for women to be emotionally open. We can help aware stress by change coping style and value it. Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with mental illness also they have poorer psychosocial health and use more psychotropic drugs for anxiety and economic crisis than men. (moodle site)Psychology is essential for health care professional because it enable the skiagraphy to understand and care after the patient more holistically.According to this, the old ladys brain is not functioning well because she is getting older or she has other mental problem therefore she was acting like a child scaring and dismayful. So, being old, her age, sex disability causes her to be anxious. The good communicate with her and make her assure that there is nothing to worry about it, could reduce her fear and anxious.The second Gibbs is about young lady, who had x-ray of her abdomen, but her keep up was not happy to do her x-ray alone. They were from different sylvan and different religion and culture. Her husband essential stay outside the room, kind of in a waiting area this is because of radiation safety. likewise it allows the immobilise to proceed without any interruption from family members. Dealing with family was difficult. Sometimes may need a family member to stay with patient. In this case it was better for husband to stay outside, because he had a kid with him, but he insists to be with her. Before doing any radiographic procedure is necessary to informed accord from patient .In these situations should given a clear explanation to them before the procedure. It would be because of their culture or might be having another reason. Naturally people as go into the hospital, they will experience some kind of stress. Anxiety can cause some individuals to be quiet aggressive when they will be packed in emergency situation. They as you would expect experience fear and anxiety. In public Refugees health-related behaviour and how they communicate with health professionals will be influenced by their culture and beliefs. To be able to perform an accurate regard a nd offer knowledgeable and sensitive care, the health care professional must think the patients religious and philosophy, as well as cultural background. Also to make them sure of what happens in x-ray room, explain the procedure to them, If we consider psychology views, both patient and her husband might be suffer from different type of depression, or stressed. In one hand, because the husband behaviour showed there is something that is afraid about it. Her husband was worried, enraged and emotionally stressed, and in other hand may be they did not like doing their x-ray with male radiographer, because of their culture, and they might have personal or religious reason for not doing it alone. Generally we all have different way of engaging with different patient as a radiographer. Everybody has its value, mindset and beliefs. When individual entre a new country and new community they face many challenges in terms of adjusting to a new language, different usage and unfamiliar norm s. These challenges may result in mental or general health problems. There is quite a lot of risk factor that put ethnic minority to suffer from mental illnesses. Generally in compare of general public, the health of people from ethnic minority is worse. Although there are some exeption. For the reason of many factors which affect their health. Lack of English, under or unemployment, being away from family, cultural differences and lack of social support, put people toward depression. (Journal of immigrant and minority health, New York Feb. 2010, iss.1, pg.100)So again you need to have good communication with them. scarcely In this case, may be shopping centre contact is not welcomed, because they were Muslim, and in their culture direct centre contact is supposed as being impolite or bad-mannered, particularly between the old people. In Asian and Muslim culture hand gestures and eye contact should be avoided. Occasionally between Muslims people husband may be respond the questio n telling their wives. In addition in their culture, silence possibly will show accepting or authorization. So it is very important to have knowledge of other culture, when dealing with patient. (Ruth Ann Ehrlich, Joan A. Daly 2009)Therefore you need to introduce yourself to the patient. First impression you put on patient is very important , Give explanation clearly, be a good listener, be familiar with patients emotions, control your personal emotions by developing better cultural competency ,and have familiarity with beliefs and practices of diverse groups, But it is very important to avoid stereotyping. Also it is very important to let them understand the LMP checked. For Certain radiographic procedure it needs to check LMP (last menstrual period). It is necessary to have fully understood the procedure and its risk and benefit, so that you can explain to the patient and answer their questions. The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations IE (ME) R states that, every d istaffs of childbearing ability age must have their gestation status recognized if the abdominal muscle area is region of interest in radiographic examination. Where suitable, the pregnancy and breast feeding status of a female patient must be established. From knees up to below the diaphragm is abdominal region for radiographic purposes. (Ball J, Moor A, Turner s, 2008). After check the LMP and when you are sure that she is not pregnant, give the patient instruction to have her x-ray. And ask for female radiographer for her to do her x-ray. And help put her husband lead apparel or ask them to stay behind the screen, so that they will be protected against radiation. Additionally, an interpreter may be required, to help them get their job done.As a result, I should communicate more effectively and without any hesitant for both patient. Give them clear instruction and get help from radiographer staff. To know how to deal with patient in appropriate way, it is important to recognise their feeling, understand their problem and cope with different situation. Communication is very important. By using SOLER technique. Also be familiar with different culture and background, and respect everybody. . Avoid stereotyping patient. Stereotyping can direct you toward discrimination. (moodle site 2009).Also Remember to be assertive.What I have learnt using this reflective model, is that it has helped me to recognize that my knowledge is somewhat which I have to be proactive in. By writing this essay my reflection skill and my competence has developed. Now I feel more fortify in personal and professional skills. Within clinical placement I have experienced how to face with different situation and different patient. Also how communication skills is useful as a professional radiographer to deal with patient and their families. In the future communicate clearly and with greater confidence. Show empathy to patient in appropriate way. Respect all in any age, any culture and any background. Nervous, hesitant, anxious, exited, that was me on my first week of placement, but now something different and in the future more professional.

The Process Of Change In The Workplace

The Process Of falsify In The WorkplaceIn refreshing-fangled years, veers in the economy and the teleph unmatched line environment consecrate forced somewhat cheeks to modify the agency in which the business was transacted. It is the duty of the managers and supervisors to baffle close to modifications to the organisation so as to face the competitive world and to induct existence in the business world. It is important on behalf of the business building block to understand the importance of limitings in the modern business world.(Burnes, 2004)Organisations must to neuter themselves in the business atomic number 18as since eachday our world present impudently amours kind of thing for us. And too all the big organizations put on extensively choice of employee. So, organizations constantly have a intention and they force out get their aims with their employee. Further more they have to know and understand them to get utmost success from them. In stemma , day to da y the new employees argon taking their position in the organizations but we basin see simply m each people who has contrary culture in the organizations. Consequently the subject is on that state of affairs, managers have to get a ample conversation with themAs a consequently, the study reason of this assignment is How significant is it for managers have a good instinct of cultural diversity in the range place? Conversely , we testament look at some communication hypothesis to hold up our main question.There is nothing in the world which is steady turn break through for transplants. So as to stay successful the organisations has to see transmits and stay on having ground-breaking thoughts to have competitive compensation over other firms in the competition. still the fittest organisation can survive - Charles Darwin and in the rivalry only those organisation can survive which adapts altering affect. No business man is in the business to undergo losses.(Jaffe, 2004)The organisational channelizes signifies main agitates undertaken via an organisation quite than the pair of lissom revisions been undertaken by them for e.g. ap appointment or dismissal of employees otherwise making changes in the program, which might be in assignment of the friendships survival , reform operations, new technologies, mergers, major collaborations, novel programs which includes Sum Quality focus, re-engineering etc.Alter is sure in the modern wrickplace. throws in technology, changes in procedure and changes in the mart and the wider economy all present their own sole challenges to employers and the employees. sanguine or pessimistic expressive style . If the change is taken in a optimistic way than it is going to be in a great world for the firm. On the opposing if the employees takes the changes in a pessimistic way than it will be result the working of the organisation and the organisation will not be up to attain its preferred results.Alter have been be by many authors in numerous way . According to Laura and accord Staff (www.soi.org/reading/change/index.) Accessed on 18th April, 2008, A concerted, aforethought(ip) effort to add to organizational effectiveness and health by substance of changes in the organizations dynamics using behavioral discipline informationChanges in organisation comes in two levels Level adept, Consulting to make changes in the course for organisation of a structural, rule or technical nature. Level Two, The determination for wiz person or many people in the run-in organisation to have learned something new.( Carr, 1995)There ar several views some how organizations expand and change over time. In the 1970s, Greiner recommended that, as organisations turn out to be additional grown up and possibly get bigger, they go through a number of important changes in order to take hold an satisfactory level of operation. There argon five stages of organisation growth, and the change from one to the next i s triggered by a disaster.Change trouble is a methodical onrush to dealing with change, both from the viewpoint of an organisation and on the individual level. A instead indistinc term, change management has at least(prenominal) three different aspects, counting adapting to change, scheming change, and effecting change. A practical approach to commerce with change is at the centre of all three aspects. For an organisation, change management means important and implementing events or technologies to deal with changes in the business environment and to profit from ever-changing opportunities. (Burnes, 2004)Harrison complaint that thither atomic number 18 a number of levels of intercession and that the depth of intercession have to be change as the problem permits.Cognitive and irrational problem-solving techniques for exemplification those commitd in management accounting and operational research are located at the shallow end of the range of available strategies.Manufacturing psychology based methods, centre on the individual and their task relationships are at a rather deeper level and include occupation improvement and management by objectives (MBO)At the sincer level are those instrumental approaches, which effort to change attitudes and genial orientations as closely as task-related behaviour. Organisational improvement is such an approach see later in this chapter.A lot of business managers center their alter efforts at a specific level within the organisation such as the level of theIndividual in the belief that organisational behaviour is determined by the characteristics of the a members. The aspire is a to develop personals skill levels, behaviour and motivation. Techniques utilise incorporate education and teaching and management improvement.Organisation of structure and administrations claiming that organisational behaviour is determined by characteristics of the organisational situation in which people work. The aspire is to coach mem bers behaviour to organisational goals and techniques subsumption structural and technical modifications such as divisionalisation, matrices, size, jop redesign, recognise systems and management by ojectives.Organisational climate and interpersonal style such managers believe that emotional and social soures, which characterise the relations among members, determine organisational behaviours. Their aims are to realize system with a wide climate of high interpersonal reliance and openness and a reduction in the dysfunctional consequences of excessive social conflict and competitiveness. The principal technique is organisation development.Obviously no one level should be focused on exclusively and a sense of balance of approaches should be the aim. (carr, 1995)According to the Leavitts model of change management Leavitt argued that succeeded in one organisation were not necessarily successful in another. He suggests that the chosen approach to change in a particular organisation should formulate the underlying beliefs within that organisations.Seeking improved solutions to tasks will be more often than not technical, that is seeking to improve the quality of decisions. The task approach, even were it involves clear changes of methods, is clear interrelated to the other three approaches.This approach covers The traditional performance approaches of ensuring meet division of labour, levels of authority and responsibility, defining chain of command, span of control. Decentralisation, the creation of estimate centres and localising of decision-making creating a high level of local autonomy. Communication linguistic rules, the make outation of communication channels and flows thus for repetitious, predictable work a highly centralise communication structure seems most efficient, whereas for novel, loosely structured tasks, a more open multi channel communication network seems more appropriate.Taylors Scientific Management is an early example of this app roach category, which includes method study approaches where an outsider views the work pattern and suggests changes in a technological approach. Updating and replacement of equipment is a natural example of an external approach. The essence is that the approach occurs outside of the work root word itself.(Jaffe, 2004)Team working, approach preparation, changes in styles of organization are for instance of the people approach.Each change can therefore be movement toward through one of these main quadruplet methods other than it must be remembered that there is strong coaction between these categories. For instance , a change in technology ( introduction of a computer) will power tasks (production may be quicker or better) and a change in transcription could mean less staff needed. A change in any category is likely to have an effect upon people approach.According to the change speculation of Kurt Lewin, who put forward ideas about how think change should be introduce in an org anisation. His views are from time to time called prescriptive planned change theory. A intended change procedur should begin with an analysis and diagnosis of the current situation, in order to recognize the sources of the problem and recognize the opportunities for improvemeThe change procedur be supposed to experience three stages the first one is called as Unfreeze, second group considered as change and lastly it is named as Re-Freeze.Unfreezing implies change will mean abandoning obtainable put into practice before the new practices are implemented success richly. In order to conquer resistance they should be allow to have their current behaviour which are being twine by them. Unfreezing will guide to formation of mis heavy(p)s and the fear of the unknown. It will overhaul to motivate the staff and overcoming the desirability of the fright situation of the staff. Managers can bring in the process of instruction and teaching at this phase. In this process communication plays an significant position. Managers should communicate to the staff who are going to acquit these changes so as to help them to understand clearly the procedure of change and accepting it. Changes should be made understood to additional bet holders who are going to be affected by changes and the process of unfreezing their proves behaviour to stabilising in adopting changes successfully. (Lewin, 1951)Movement is the which procedure comes after the procedure of unfreezing which means pitiable from current position to the intended new changes responsibility. Management of this process involves wining the live of people who are affected in the process of change.When we look at the helping point, manager should try to create contribution via others in the change process. It helps to decrease the resistance to change as hearty as develop successful in adapting the changes and make it more successful. It will too help to develop communication of the execute for change and in knowing the cause so as to for the changes undertaken. In order to make change successful, there must be support from employees. Employees have to be convinced for successfully adaptingchanges.In the rule of Re-freeze, Lewin argued that even if the change is implemented successfully,the success could be short -lived because the employees might to back to their former behaviour and methods. An important way of making the change stick is through the use of rewards. Motivation theory suggest that, If individuals have strong need for reward, and if they see that they will probably achieve those rewards by acting in certain manner.(Lewin 1951)The re-freeze process is substantial in order to stabilise the change and to reinforce the new pattern of the working or behaviour. An important way to undertake changes is y giving rewards. If the employees feel that they will receive rewards for sticking to act in the way managers want they will surely provide support in the changing process.Reporting s ystem are essential to provide better performance and in trying to ensure that the targets and the targets. The control system might use benchmarks in order to compare performance and the standard of performances as well as for specifying the responsibilities of key managers and the work groups.The following Examples will illustrate how this system works out British Airways on becoming privatisation From being bureaucratic public sector to commercial organisation which had to be serviced oriented having a market driven culture. Changes which were to be undertaken were reducing the strength of the organisation from 59,000 employees to 37,000 employees, cast off the hierarchical structure and introduce changes in the operational system and structures.(Slomon, 2004)at once the following analysis will demonstrate the view of managers who work as managers in several Companies. However following questions were asked to the manager and taken their answers from their point of view on busin ess change.1. How is it important for managers to have greater discretion of the process of change in a work place?In recent years the banking and finance sector has been subject to great changes, particularly because of the global credit crisis sparked by the sub-prime lending in the American Market. referable to these, it is essential for the line and cost centre managers to understand the drivers for changes as well as the processes that governs the changes. says spear Leach who work in FitchRating ltd as managing director. fundamentally he suggests that the process of change may adapt by itself in order to suit the circumstances. If managers do not understand the reasons for undertaking changes indeed they will not be able to meet the unforeseen challenges2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of change in the work place?According to the John Lionson who is one of the change managers in HSBC group saying that changes come in many form, say it might come in form of a m ajor business change (takeover) or indeed in the superior management change which is quite often these days in the banking and finance sector. Advantages can be considered to be such which often brings challenges to the staff resulting in the launching and new ideas. It may act as springboards for talented staff members and augment their efficiency and prove to be an asset for the firm. These changes can prove to be profitable as well as successful.3. How often a conjunction should make changes in the working environment?This question was answered by Peter Leach who told that this issue depends on the nature of the business. It is common in the work of banking and finance. It is common for the field of banking and finance to have major changes once in every 2 to 3 years. This may not be applicable to public sectors wherein the changes are less common as well as subjected to external factors. It is said that changes should be undertaken whenever the need arises not for the sake for doing so.4. What are the factors that forces the company to make changes?According to the answer of Ian Williams, works for Bizzforyou ltd as senior manager counted these in order which are, take over/mergers, major advantages in the technology, changing market place, foreign exchange factors, cost of materials, cost of resources and productivity.5. How do you measure of the value change?The only real values are share holders sentiments, profits and the stock market value of the company in the banking and finance sector. While staff morale is important, it is likely that a company is likely to have a lower churn rate than a unsuccessful one. added Peter Leach.In my conversation, I observed that 50% of managers consider that change must be done equally among the staff, however, 80% of them primarily think that company can be successful if managers drive it in a correct way.70% of managers support the idea of changing process cod to achieve the companies goals.In conclusion, chan ge can never be fully planned due to unexpected problems and follow on effects, many organisations are adopting a positive attitude to the need for change , Leavitt recognised four variables, which can be affected by change and claimed that these entry points can be come specific targets for managerial efforts to instigate change. The variables are task, structure, technology, people. With these process change can work out successfully in businesses.REFERENCESCarr D, (1995) Managing the Change Process A Field Book for Change Agents, Consultants, Mcgraw hill professional, pp98-107Jaffe D.

Racism in US Criminal Justice System

Racism in US Criminal Justice SystemThe biggest discourtesy in the U.S. evil jurist scheme is that it is an institution based on racial disparity in which Afro-Ameri baths argon openly beleaguered and penalized in a much much destructive manner compared to albumin population.This paper is an elbow grease to learn the degree of racism followed by the abominable legal expert agreement of the States. The paper also attempts to make use of relevant literature to strategy statistics for authorized detestation records that gull been associated woeful injustice.American society is number come to the fore to be more than ethnical some(prenominal)y and inexpensively polarized. Many poor and minority citizens pledge to the prejudice theory that the shepherds crook impartiality exists. A recent Gallup poll showed that virtually two third of the African-Americans interviewed make fulld that the law administration of rules is conform tod against them. Many civil rights support groups have the same opinion, but umteen conservatives refuse that the organization is racist (Rubin, 2006).Information on race is affectionate for each phase of the criminal justice administration starting from medicates, law stops, taking into custody, bailing out, juristic courtrepresentation, selection of jury members, courtroom efforts, prison house house term, imprisonment, parole and liberty.It is very evident in America that a officer stops you on a highway for no reason any(prenominal) asking you to prove your identity and ask you where you are from (Riles, 2006).Very a lot your car and your belongings are looked. It is common policy that they believe your racial identity is blamed for your reason to be a criminal and anyone who looks ilk them is halt or interrogated with further questions. If they are accused of a certain abomination, then it is probable that your representing lawyer impart yet give you a few minutes and go out convince you to plea d guilty. If you argue over yourself universe innocent, then you will get to stay in prison for some months. Racism has been prominent since the days of African slavery.It is likely that all the information and proofs provided are against you, curiously if you are an adolescent. The rate of incarceration for your ethnic group is seven propagation that of the common populace, most of whom concur with the guard that your type are tending to create violence and commit crime (Cole, 1999). People like you are arrested, convicted and killed by the jurisprudence more much than those in the general population.One in every third someone from your ethnicity and skin color, especially in the geezerhood group of 20 to 29 is in jail or on parole or trial. In universities, almost 100 graduates are arrested each year. You are non life history in some oppressive misery (Cole, 1999). All this is be crusade you are an African American residing in the joined States, a so called home liber alists and bravery. rightfulness enforcement officials universally claim that targeting of disastrous and Latino drivers is not done, but the stories of African-American and Mexican men prove otherwise.Attorney Christopher Darden, one of the prosecutors in the O.J. Simpson trial says in his book that he is stopped close to five propagation a year. Many men of color find similar experiences, from Ohio to Florida to smart Jersey to California (Allen, 1999). An African-American Miami natural lawman was stopped on highroad 4 in Florida, where it seems that the police have decided that all Black men are likely to be drug runners, despite the f telephone number that it is estimated that nationally Blacks are equal to only 13 percent of drug offenders. Undeniably, the Orlando Sentinel acquired recorded tapes of at least 1,100 stops in a single Florida County and revealed that while Blacks were only five percent of all drivers transiting from on that point, they were 70% of those b locked and the rest were not even bo at that placed to be stopped (Goodale, 2005).In Maryland, one African-American lawyer and his family were blocked on interstate highway 95 after departing from a funeral. When they prosecuted, a central court rule that the Maryland state police had to disburse $50,000 and had to split information on the race of motorists blocked and searched. They erect that African-Americans were 75% of those stopped and searched, although they make up only 17 percent of the motorists (Goodale, 2005).A professor of law at Georgetown University, David Cole marshals plenty of evidence that Americas criminal justice system is racially biased. And yet many others have done that before him. What is more important and commonly available in literature to date, is the argument that it is only by denying basic rights to poor and corrosive Americans that the more prosperous pureness minority can itself have a go at it the constitutional protections of which American s are so proud. sure enough America is not the only country whose system of criminal justice is marred by racial or economic biases.Drug policies turn back of the most important factor causative to racial indifferences in criminal justice. Federal laws against cocaine are a basic example of institutional variation. Under the present law, crimes concerning crack cocaine are penalized much more harshly than those concerning powder-cocaine (Goodale, 2005).But the United States is supposed to be different (Neugebauer, 2000). It is a society founded on the idea of equality before the law, where such high-mindedness has always been taken badly and comprised a central part of its self-image. In a careful explication of Supreme Court judgments and a description of how the criminal justice system actually works, it makes a persuasive case that on the streets or in the nations police stations and courtrooms, constitutional protections so love by the absolute majority barely exist for mo st poor or barren Americans.Over the past 40 years, the Supreme Court has grandly defended the principal of a race- and income-neutral system of justice. Every defendant, including the indigent, is entitled to a adapted lawyer, the court has said. The exclusion of jurors on racial grounds is forbidden (Cole, 1999). The police cannot use race as a criteria for taenia, investigating or prosecuting someone. Race-based sentencing is, of course, all told unacceptable. But in a series of decisions the court has also made it virtually impossible to prove the existence of such traffic patterns on collecting, and so they permeate the criminal justice system.For instance if we look at Ohio work incident. After hearing a most recent case, government requests the gauge to accept that the Ohio State Highway Patrol intentionally goals African-American drivers for narcotics search. When in that location is no odd affair or climate situations, policemen on traffic easily manage but not hal t vehicles on interstate main streets for racing when they are only passing at the footfall restricted to two miles per hour. (Ratner Jason, 2001)After hearing similar testimonies as above, the congressional Black Caucus presented a legislation to halt particular races, aiming at of Black and Latino motorists. Already approved by the House, it was waiting for Senate legal action at the end of the last conference.The Traffic Stops Statistic Act of 1998 was conceived to assemble the facts and numbers to display that racial aiming at does exist (Nolan, 1997). It needs the United States advocate general to perform a study of such halts and to proceeds a report to Congress on them. The clues apparently displays that African-Americans are being regularly halted by policeman easily because they are Black. It is precisely this assortment of unjust remedy that directs minorities to distrust the lawless individual fairness system (Rubin, 2006)For example, the court has accepted that the death penalty is applied in a racist fashion (blacks who kill whites receive it far more frequently than anyone who kills a black) (Travis, 2000). But it has demanded that racial bias be proven in each individual case, something that is almost always impossible given that settle and juries rarely express such biases overtly. The exclusion of blacks from juries is a recognized practice of prosecutors across the country. And yet the court has steadfastly upheld prosecutors right to reject jurors without handsome any reason for doing so, virtually endorsing the practice.The court has set the standard for workmanlike defense attorneys so low that even lawyers who have fallen slumbery during death-penalty trials have qualified, and the court has done nothing about the financial choking of public-defender programmes, denying most of those accused of a crime a proper legal defense (Goodale, 2005). law of nature regularly sweep by means of poor neighborhoods stopping and searching who mever they like. Yet the court has repeatedly refused to require the police to give notice people that, according to the Fourth Amendment to the constitution, everyone has a right to refuse a search unless the police have a warrant or have arrested them for a crime. So most poor people, intimidated and wary of the police, believe they have no choice but to submit (Brown, 1998).The court has permitted police so much prudence in deciding as to who will be stopped and searched that most African-Americans are despairingly familiar with the act of being stopped for driving because they are black, a crime of which white Americans are supremely not aware of.Most white people, especially the better-off, are simply not treated this way by the police.If they were, there would be a public outcry (Agamben, 1998). It is impossible to imagine the majority ever tolerating the statistics being reversedthe incarceration rate for whites being seven times that of blacks, for example.It is conceded th at it is probably impossible ever to eradicate completely the advantages the economically better-off enjoy before the law. And given the number of blacks in jail, racial profiling can seem like a rational strategy for the police. First, such discrimination is itself pushing many young black men towards crime and has seriously alienated the black community (Cunningham, Herie, Martin, Turner, 1998). After all, the vast majority of black people stopped by the police are innocent of any crime. Second, the better-off majority can only enjoy sweeping constitutional rights because these are denied to the poor and black minority.If everyone had the same level of legal protection against search and seizure, the police would probably find it impossible to do their job. Nevertheless, if the United States is ever to live up to its noble ideals, it must find an answer to both these dilemmas. But first it must recognize the scale of the problem. We love to make up our societys commitment to equ ality with classical icons like Lady Justice, with her blindfold and neatly balanced scales. And we resonate with pride to the words Equal Justice on a lower floor Law emblazoned over the portico of the Supreme Court. But reality shatters these illusions in the criminal justice system. The commitment to equal criminal justice in America is a mile wide and an inch deep (Cole, 1999).Discrimination on the basis of economic class also pervades the criminal-justice system. In 1964, New York multiplication columnist Anthony Lewis wrote a powerful book called Gideons Trumpet. Lewis celebrated the courage of Clarence Gideon, who was found guilty of a felony he did not commit, and who pleaded to the Supreme Court in a handwritten petition for an attorney to help him in his appeal (Lewis, 1964).Lewis also celebrated the generosity of Abe Fortas, later to wrick a justice, who argued Gideons cause before the court without a fee, and persuaded the court that the Sixth Amendment right to focal point must be extended to everyone in jeopardy of losing their liberty through a felony conviction. Lewis could not write such a book like a shot (Lewis, 1964).What are the costs of inequality in our criminal-justice system?It is argued persuasively that people obey the law primarily because they think it is the right thing to do, not because they fear punishment. Where a community accepts the social rules as legitimate, the rules will be largely self-enforcing. Citing a 1995 Gallup poll that found that 77 percent of blacks and 45 percent of whites think that the system treats blacks more harshly than whites, it is evident that double-dyed(a) costs flow from this erosion of confidence that the criminal justice system is fundamentally fair (Allen, 1999). Where a community views the law as unjust, enforcement is subverted. Police find it more difficult to get leads, prosecutors find witnesses more loth(p) to testify, and jurors may engage in nullification (Agamben, 1998).According to the Bureau of the Census, more or less 30 million African Americans live in the United States, comprising about 13 percent of the countrys population (Neugebauer, 2000). What is more? African-Americans commit a notably large proportion of those crimes that people fear most-heightened stabbing, theft, rape, and assassination. Disproportionate black criminality has consistently been revealed by official statistics of arrest and incarceration rates. And while these reports doubtless contain methodological biases that make any evaluation of black crime a precarious undertaking, Kennedy correctly points out that victim surveys (which typically complicate ordinary citizens with nothing to gain by lying), as well as careful criminologists of various ideological stripes, corroborate the official statistics.They are the largest racial/ethnic minority. However, blacks, particularly young black men, perpetrate a constituent of street crime that is strikingly disproportionate to their pe rcentage in the population. Kennedy states that in 1992, for example. 44.8 percent of all persons arrested for violent crime were black (Rubin, 2006). Racial differences equal not only to patterns of felonies but at every step of the criminal justice system as well. From incarceration to handgrip, from judgment to imprisonment, blacks are targeted in great numbers, a proportion incomparable to their entire number in US population. As Cole observes The country is already at a point where three out of every four black males will be arrested, jailed, and acquire a criminal record by age 35 (Cole, 1999).Looking further, the arrest statistics are even more dismal. information from 1990, for example, indicate that 28.9 percent of all arrests in the U.S. involved African-Americans. In 1992, there were over 14 million arrests nationally five million of them were black males (Miller, 1996). Turning his attention to delinquency, Miller cites a 1994 study of juvenile detention decisions whi ch indicates that, even after controlling for the influence of offense seriousness and such social factors as single-parent home.African-American youths were more likely than white youths to be detained at each decision point in the criminal justice system (Miller, 1996). In short, black teenagers are more likely to be handled formally, to be waived to adult court, and to be adjudicated delinquent.One important irony that Tony points out is that even as the black proportions of serious violent crimes remained essentially fixed since the early 1980s, disproportionate incarceration rates of African-Americans have grown steadily worse, especially since Ronald Reagan became president.ConclusionRacial bias studies never completely take into account all of the legitimate factors that determine how an ease is handled, consequently, these unmeasured factors talent explain a racial disparity if the factors are ones on which the races differ. prone the small disparity in the first place, such unmeasured factors become potentially important. Another questionone that frequently arises in racial bias studies that harmonize or aggregate samples from different states and different countiesis whether black defendants were more intemperately represented in jurisdictions where times were possibly tougher, not just for blacks, but for whites as well.If so, combining the jurisdictions would create the appearance of a sentencing disparity even when no disparity actually exists. Because Americas races are scattered differently across jurisdictions, and jurisdictions sentence differently from one another, aggregating has an effect that is easily mistaken for racially different sentencing.

Powerful Symbols in Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

Powerful Symbols in Their Eyes Were ceremonial God by Zora Neale Hurston In 1937, upon the first publication of Their Eyes Were Watching God, the most influential black writer of his time, Richard Wright, stated that the novel carries no theme, no message, and no thought. Wrights powerful critique epitomized a nations attitude toward Zora Neale Hurstons second novel. Afro-American critics con a book that they felt satisfied the white mans stereotype of Afro-American culture and the humor which Caucasians saw in that prejudice. However, those critics and most of America unnoted the wonderful use of imagery, symbolism, and thematic application of single African-American females journeying into womanhood and self-identification in a male-dominated society. Hurston introduced Janie Crawford, a strong, articulate, and dramatic character whose lifespan was best empathized by women or by inhabitants of migrant farms and rural glum towns. Their Eyes Were Watching God is permeated w ith recurring symbols, such as a pear tree, a fence-gate, and Janies hair, that enlighten a young girls quest for self-fulfillment, as she discovers the true meaning of love and happiness through two failed marriages and one successful but tragic third. The strongest symbol in Their Eyes Were Watching God is the pear tree. The pear blossom is a representation of Janie, as she is a young girl blooming into a woman during a spring afternoon. Hurston explains this symbolism at the first of the chapter, describing Janie as a great(p) tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone. Dawn and doom was in the branches (Hurston 8) Janie then lies beneath the tree, observes the bees pollinate a blossom, and ex... ...ecade of prejudice against African-Americans, women, and most importantly, African-American women.

Murdering Mr. Lincoln by Charles Higham, pre directs the reader with a factual, in-depth look at the story behind the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Higham leaves no stone unturned as he exhaustively explains the events that lead up to the death of Lincoln. Overall, the book is written in the look of the Confederacy and examples like this hymn give the reader reason to deliberate so. The first section that Higham explains is titled The Mission. This section gives a general overview of the delegacy of Confederate groups to try to remove President Lincoln from office. As the author explains, the Sons of Liberty were dedicated people, not just of the South, but also from Canada, who were volition to create a plan to take out the North. They did this is several ways, such as provoking war between England and the United States. Higham backs up his whim by providing vital information. In the fall of 1861...Union adventurer Captain Charles F. Wilkes was sent to stage a boarding and seizure of the British ship Trent. This was, in legal terms, and act of war since no ship could be boarded in that manner according to the peculiar maritime rules (Pg 9). Higham also lays down a background of future players that will be involved in the Lincoln assassination. Officials such as Confederate President Jefferson Davis, his writing table of State Judah P. Benjamin, and the Secretary of the Treasury Chris Memminger were planning to send a Confederate mission to British North America. The objective of the mission was to disrupt the loyal American states and outline support for possible invasion, arson and murder to en danger the North. Highams viewpoints of the informant stages of the coup detat against Lincoln are backed up with clearcutness accuracy. It is very easy to understand his style of writing, especially when he writes some some of the people involved in the situation. Higham calls this next player to be the most furious and dangerous anti-Lincol... ...d in the average history book. here(predicate) is where Higham instills a lasting impression on the reader of the entire situation. throne Wilkes kiosk, and most of his accomplices, were seized and sent to trial where they were all found guilty of murder. matchless of the interesting things about the story is that John Surratt, whose mother was hanged for the crime, managed to be at two places at once. John Surratt was another Confederate supporter who conspired with Booth about the assassination plot on Lincoln. While a fleeting from the American justice system, Surratt escaped first to Canada, proceeded to Great Britain, then R ome, and by and by a brief detention there, to Alexandria, Egypt. This is just one of the conspiracies Higham talks about in his book. From start to finish, Higham thoroughly explains each stage that lead to the eventual(prenominal) assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. One of the reasons why Higham is so successful in his attempt tell the story is that he back his information and arguments up with detailed accounts of what actually happened. Higham style is informative and understandable. Higham knowledge of the subject egress comes through in the book.
