Introduction

Changing a mindset is extremely difficult, especially for a person who is juggling all of the commitments of a busy life—a full-time job, family obligations, showing up for social occasions, and the like. It seems to be simple human nature to go along in life making incremental changes, but never really examining the underlying assumptions that our days are based upon. Entrepreneurs may have certain character attributes that give them the capacity to distance themselves from the urgent—what to wear, who to hire, how to soothe the boss—to focus on the truly important—what is meaningful, ...

The mass product recall caused by the problems in the ignition systems was only the problem of quality assurance department of the General Motors, but also a reflection that the organization needs its organizational culture and leadership style to be fundamentally re-shaped. It has been previously argued that unless the company reconsiders its approaches to human resources management, organizational culture and leadership strategies, GM may face serious problems in the today’s vibrant markets. Specifically, because of huge media exposure, any further product recall may become the cause of substantial reduction in sales. The purposes of this paper it ...

Why people love horror movies? In the society, many people love horror movies because they contain an essential truth that most of the guardians and parents do not tell their children. Some parents usually encourage and comfort their children by urging them that everything is going to be all right and nothing to be worried about. While such people lie to children, the horror films do not. The horror films provide the full measure of what people suffer and experience as adults, and hence creating a significant sense of trust. Monsters in the horror movies present facts that are ...

Isaac Asimov Reason

In my opinion, Isaac Asimov uses humor and irony first to mock QT, Powell and Donovan with the help of humorous situations that happen in the story. QT does not believe that he was created by people and tries to analyze and find the answers. He does not believe in what the Earthmen tell him, even in what he read in books. When QT says that his purpose is to serve the Master, Powell and Donovan laugh at him and his words. But the real irony is that QT acts the same way all the people do – they try ...

Hospital Acquired Infections Health care system is a very dynamic field that changes periodically; the practices that were deemed to be the most effective a decade ago may be rendered less useful or obsolete in the present day care. The changes are basically due to changes in patient needs, the emergence of new technologies, improved science research findings that develop new care methods as well as changes in healthcare policies and regulations. For example in the United States, the increase in the size of an aging population means an increase in number of patients that will suffer from chronic ...

“Poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it?” rings the famous lyric of the late Rapper-Activist Tupac Amaru Shakur. The son of a former Black Panther, this ode to his mother provides a glimpse into the conundrum of surviving in the wake of being poor and black on public assistance. What Shakur unknowingly reveals is the image of welfare in a more empathetic and realistic way that illuminates instead of ignoring the lived realities of its recipients. While Shakur’s lyric is compassionate in it’s depiction, conservative lawmakers are less considerate in their elucidation of ...

Bridge of Spies (2015) is a historical film that was directed by Steven Spielberg. One of the stars in this film is Tom Hanks. This film received a very positive feedback from the viewers and in my opinion it is one of the best films about the confrontation between the USA and the USSR in the past few years. The film is set in 1957 – 1962 and is based on a true story. In 1957, the USA arrested a Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, but a few years later he was swapped for the American pilot that was brought down ...

Cloud Security Solutions

Private and public cloud solutions have been gaining much popularity however there are security issues that have gained a higher priority. Cloud security is a vital part of CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) triad for data security. The cloud functionality in itself is robust and well-paying for customers; however operational security is a concern that is being addressed by vendors. The adaptation of cloud technology has been rapid and fast paced. Cloud security issues over the cloud environment have hindered the growth of cloud industry resulting in a far lesser growth as was expected of the new technology (Donovan).

Faking is a challenge in the selection process as it may lead to the rejection of the most suited candidates and the selection of the least suitable (Donovan, Dwight and Schneider, 2013). The outcome of faking in the selection process is that applicants with high personality and other scores may perform poorly in their actual jobs. However, the problem of faking in selection measures is not as big as suggested by critics of personality measures in selection processes. According to Hogan, Barrett & Hogan (2007), a well-structured personality test limits the possibility of faking during the selection process. Their study ...

Donovan’s Charge and Fences are two plays that are written in completely different time periods—arguably, for two very different audiences. The topic of race and the discussion and discourse surrounding race are different today than they were when Wilson wrote his landmark play Fences. However, despite the fact that these plays were written in different times, there are still common themes that remain the same throughout both plays. Most notably, the conflict between pragmatism and morality runs strongly through both plays. In Fences, Wlison’s characters Troy and Rose face the world very differently. Rose is the ...

Modern business organizations have identified the importance of employee retention policy to get the maximum success in the global platform. Meanwhile, the situation was not the same in the past. Earlier, organizations operating in the global business sector put great emphasis on attracting crucial talent for organizational benefits (Donovan, Dwight and Schneider, 2013, p. 483). Identifying the value of efficient workforce, organizations had put more interest in developing a well-designed recruitment and selection process to get the best talent resources suitable for organizational performance efficiency. On the other hand, there is evidence to show that in the past organizations ...

Domestic violence in extreme cases can lead to loss of life. In most cases, women suffer the most from abusive husbands and boyfriends. The film “Provoked” redefines provocation in domestic abuse. In the movie, the judiciary system is called upon to evaluate its judgement on provocation and murder. This paper seeks to critically reflect on the significance of the film “Provoked” as it relates to the treatment of women’s issues and the role of the justice system. It explores how the ultimate goal of seeking prosecution can in the long run deny individuals justice. At the center of “ ...

Human cloning is defined as creating a genetically indistinguishable image of a human being. It can also be depicted as the asexual reproduction of new human beings, passing through all growth stages and is identical to an existing creature [1]. According to the physician Lewis Thomas, “The cloning of human beings is on most lists of things to worry about in science.” [2] Human cloning has a major effect on all denominations in the world and there are many different opinions associated with it. Religious leaders and thinkers have critically reviewed the scientific projections and ethics of human cloning [2]. Their final ...

One definition of conservatism states that a situation tends to remain static unless acted upon by a strong external force. In the world of major college football, tradition and fiscal conservatism have combined for years to preserve a system by which a tight circle of resource-rich powerhouse programs hold sway from year to year. The major bowl games, the nearly exclusive preserve of the nation’s football elite, serve as NCAA football’s branding identity but do little to determine a quantifiable national champion. A powerful cabal of athletic directors, commissioners, university presidents and other officials maintain the sanctity of the lucrative bowl system. In ...

The history of art has been compared with that of literature. In comparable respects, both have continuity, change and no progressive improvement. Since they are both works of creativity, their histories are characterized by works that seem to go beyond circumstantial limitations with a timeless appeal.
