The use of technology in the classroom is slowly becoming an integral part of the way teachers impart knowledge in the classroom.

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

1. Blocked Responses Robert Merton’s strain theory focuses on the stress, anxiety and deviance caused by “discrepancies in cultural goals and the legitimate means to achieve them,” (Murphy & Robinson, 2008, p. 503). This would entail situations where “society doesn’t provide the means to everyone to accomplish the goals it sets out for them,” (Wright, 2008). The most common shared goal in American society is the pursuit of the American Dream. But strain is caused when there are blockages to that goal. When a person is not born in a position of economic comfort or wealth, for example, ...

IT Strategy and Nolan’s Growth Stage Model

Current IT Strategy: Although running in a basic POS, Zara’s IT infrastructure had been working seamlessly with no problem whatsoever that its IT staff cannot fix without seeking Inditex’s technical intervention (McAfee, Dessain, and Sjoman, 2007, pp. 2-3). It has accomplished its original business model of linking customer demand to manufacturing and then manufacturing to distribution. However, it is just that, a basic POS, with no other functionalities to boast for except for its unchallenged stability so far. Thus, in Sanchez’s opinion, if the POS is unbroken, why fix it? Of course, the overall strategy was ...

Front of the House: A Photo Essay

Introduction While management science and organisational behaviour generally study the worker within the workplace, a critique of educational systems, while certainly related, views the worker at an earlier stage in life. In Pedagogy of the Oppressed Freire famously offers the latter, and that is the focus of this essay, which considers Freire’s claim that social inequalities are perpetuated through “banking” education systems (so-named by him.) This essay also includes some personal observations from this author’s recent summer work experience, revisited now in the context of Freire’s well-known article. Paulo Freire was a Brazilian educator and philosopher, ...

Abstract

In the pre-colonial era and shortly after the colonial period, border crossing by communities was a common phenomenon and occurrence.

Q1:The ethicality of offshoring is largely dependent on what services are being offshored. If these are services involving an increased risk in the confidentiality of patient and tax client information (Mintz, 2004), then, offshoring is unethical. Mintz mentioned a report on a Pakistani medical transcriber who threated a medical center in San Francisco unless she received more money for her services.However, when the issue is greater profitability of the company, even against potential long-term threat to the educational system, offshoring involves no ethical question but purely a business decision. There are many advantageous reasons for offshoring, such as taking advantage of foreign ...

Question One

The most predominant was assigning personal blame to some of the participants who had been adversely affected by alcohol and substance abuse. The ethical dilemma in this instance was that the health status of many of these individuals was caused by personal choices, for instance the choice to engage in alcohol and substance abuse (Nies & McEwen, 2013). There is a belief that individuals should be blamed personally for illnesses that result from their personal choices (Hernandez, 2011).

Following The American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Abstract Most buildings once completed take at least one year to settle and require repairs and maintenance. However, many older multiple dwelling buildings have suffered unforeseen issues. The most common problem is water ingress through the building envelope. The reason why residential buildings are critical and require closer and immediate attention is because these buildings belong to people who have invested their life savings into them for comfort and spend most of their time in those places. Commercial and industrial buildings do not require as much attention and their environmental separation requirements vary because they are only occupied ...

Question 1

Prior to its enactment in July 2002, the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act were felt apparent subsequent to the fact that its enactment fostered a series of company fails. Inherently Sarbanes-Oxley Act cultivated the downturn of major companies such as Tyco, Enron and WorldCom (Khanna & Palepu, 2010).

With such apparent effects, Sarbanes-Oxley Act is more likely to affect the America’s stock exchange in many perceptible ways. Swath changes subsequent to the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley Act were deep and profound. To execute the ...

Economic, political and cultural systems integrated together make up Globalization, which revolves around the world.

Another recognized and commonly used intervention is the cognitive behavioral treatment that emphasizes on the improvement of strategies for training cognitive skills.

The traditional face-to-face communication is the most commonly used mode of communication due to its formality and the advantages it offers to the communication process. Face-to-face communication presents the environment for mutual relationship between the parties involved in the communication process. However, Riby, Gwyneth, and Whittle dispute that face to face communication might cause a barrier to effective communication since the parties involved in the process might shy away from eye contact. This may occur for instance in case of upward communication in an organization. A junior staff might fear the eye contact of his supervisor, thereby leading to a barrier ...
