Hotel business represents one of the least profitable industries along with airlines, textiles, and several others (Porter, 2008).

Threat of New Entrants
New entrants pose a relatively low threat in the hotel industry. Primarily, this is due to high entry barriers set by a combination of factors. Specifically, they include high capital expenses associated with the entry, economies of scale, and a severely limited supply of attractive locations. As a result, it is difficult to enter this industry, so the threat of new entrants is not a major factor that can negatively affect profitability.

Threat of Substitute Products or Services

Substitute services such as motels, apartments for rent, and other affordable options such as eco-tourism may pose a high threat to the profitability of hotels. However, this force ...

Ways to lessen groupthink in the department.

John should be impartial in leading the department. He should keep his personal and subjective interests away from the workplace and encourage the other employees to act objectively (Desivilya & Yagil, 2005).

In regard to President Reagan’s statement on the criminalization of drugs, I find the following instances fallacious; He goes on state that, all youths are under the influence of drug abuse. In the opinion of these ensuing events, he failed to acknowledge the fact that, society is never uniform. His statement is, therefore, not logically conclusive. It is vague in the most of its positions.

On the same note, he failed to highlight whether the issue was affecting only the male or all categories of youths. Similarly, President Reagan just mentioned statistics of drug abuse among Americans without ...

As I see it, the program is good and has a great overview at first glance, therefore making it effective for the first two years after training in elementary school, but then wears off and hence is not effective in high school and college where the largest number of ...

Recommendation for Treatment

The client currently exhibits serious drug abuse symptoms, especially because of the needle tracks on his left arm. The client, however, denies having injected himself with a drug. He tends to under-estimate the impact of chemical abuse on his body, and I recommend that he receives counseling to help him deal with the situation rather than live in denial. This is because drug abuse can cause death if not addressed early. The client admits to having used other drugs such as cannabis sativa, cocaine, alcohol, and methamphetamines. These drugs are harmful to the body. The client also admits to having ...

Conventional wisdom suggests that society full of criminals is likely to characterized by extreme levels of poverty; economic distress. In a classical view, this relationship between poverty and crime is that poverty, in one way or another encourages poverty-stricken persons to commit a crime. “Poverty is a serious problem in the lives of children” (Bartollas & Schmalleger, 2011, p.173). It has disastrous effects; including high levels of non-marital child bearing, reduced academic attainments to children, disrupted parenting and extended health problems. As families experience these challenges as a result of economic stress, juvenile involvement in crime is also reared.

Physical abuse of children is undoubtedly a serious problem. Children are physically weaker and smaller than adults, so even ignoring the psychological impacts of abuse, physical abuse can be very dangerous to the child’s life. Long-term physical abuse can even impede a child’s physical and mental development, depending on the amount of trauma the body is exposed to (Childwelfare.gov, 2013).
However, outside of the physical impacts, there are mental and psychological impacts of abuse, as well. For this reason, decisive action must be taken in cases where physical abuse of children is a known or suspected problem. Individuals who ...

In simple words, the institution of slavery is based on supremacy and obedience. Douglass has been able to successfully demonstrate the inhuman patriarchal relationship that a master and slave shared before the eighteenth century. In his lecture at Rochester (December 8, 1850), he discussed the inhumanity of slavery in a very broader sense, not just discussing his own experience but validated his point of view by referring to the laws that the slave states adopted in their laws. According to him, slavery was not kindness but cruel practices that did not have any parental warmth. Instead, the slave states practiced slavery ...

Summary

Children would essentially become bullies because of the situations that face them. Some children find themselves in a position of superiority and get the chance to lead others. This opportunity enables them to initiate various activities thus enhancing their ability to lead and focus on issues. Such children, if left with a lot of control and independence will likely become bullies for they learn to control situations early in life. However, other children may not be allowed to control situations or develop self-initiative. This may arise in cases where the child is continuously backed at, discouraged or excessively patronised. This child ...

The Illinois ethics code on child abuse requires a psychologist to know the law and when in doubt, conduct consultations before documenting findings that can help in filling a court case. Law governs reporting a child abuse in Illinois. This protects helps as it protects the person reporting from lawsuit if the reported abuse is later not substantiated, provided the evidence provided before had seemed reasonable to support abuse and you consulted and documented your actions (Olson, Soldz & Davis, 2008). My response does not change depending on the state I am practicing because the ethic code in California and Illinois share ...

Jimi Hendrix’s cover of the Bob Dylan folk song, “All Along the Watchtower,” adapts the song from Dylan’s mellow and malicious folk song to an exuberant, angry rock anthem for young people in the late 1960s. Under Jimi’s alterations, the instrumentation turns ominous and aggressive, his exuberant vocals sounding almost pleading. The song contains a limited chord structure and longer-than-usual musical sections, as well as unsettling improvisation and call-and-response from the vocals and guitar. The combination of all these musical elements make the listener, especially one who was young in 1968 (when the song was ...

Fear appeals are now widely used not only to sell merchandise but to promote issues like health, security, financial safety and other things. LaTour, Snipes and Bliss noted that:

Over the years, several theories have been developed that thought to have influenced the swaying effect of fear appeals. One of these theories is the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) which suggests ...

Having read this post regarding informed consent and confidentiality, the author has mentioned two grey areas regarding the topic. The first grey area mentioned is the issue of clients and therapists not thoroughly reviewing and ensuring a cooperative understanding of a consent form, especially when language barriers are involved. The second grey area discussed is a client’s lack of understanding of the limits of confidentiality, especially when it comes to issues involving abuse or harm to others.

These are both important issues to consider, but rather than mention them as two separate grey areas, consider how these issues are directly related. ...
