Congress has the empowerment of the constitution. Section 1 of the constitution state that all, “legislative powers vest in the Congress of Continue reading...

Over the years, gender inequality issues within the society have led to women empowerment and successive fight for gender equality. Despite consistent women activist groups and international agreements, women have remained poor and illiterate in the society. According to research, women have limited access to resources and services such as medical care, employment, property ownership, training, and credit. As a result, women have become more susceptible to domestic violence, and poor living conditions as compared to men. There have been various women’s empowerment organizations around the globe that have been founded with the aim of addressing women needs Continue reading...

Communication in Nursing

The basic communication elements are (1) the sender, (2) the channel, (3) the receiver, and (4) the message. All of those elements need to be unambiguous to achieve effective communication, which means that the sender must send a clear message to the receiver through an appropriate channel. Effective communication is critical in healthcare because it affects patient safety, treatment outcomes, conflict resolution, and job satisfaction. However, various factors other than the basic communication elements affect the quality of communication in healthcare. Those factors include the organisational structure, leadership and management styles, organisational culture, staff motivation, and the organisational goals.

Is Social Work Just Common Sense?Name:Institutional Affiliation:

Often the unsung heroes of society, social workers are not often considered to be the top of professionalism. From the outside, it looks like a job that anybody off the streets can apply. Social work revolves around helping people; with common sense as your guide surely you will be able to complete all of your tasks correctly! This is an incorrect assumption, however. It takes many people by surprise to find out that social workers may need a BA or even and MA in order to compete for a job in social work. In fact, many did not know Continue reading...

Education goes beyond its conventional boundaries and determines people’s actions. In fact, what a person does is what they know and what they have learned in a formal or informal setup, through observation, assimilation or by way of instructions. The mind has the potential of learning more and expanding a person’s horizons of their knowledge. Education does not, therefore, start or end at a given point but rather continues throughout life. Just like John Dewey says, education is a social process, it continues throughout life and its outcome seen through the actions that people display on a Continue reading...

Abstract

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is one of the most fascinating and well-known poems by the famed English poet, becoming one of the bastions of British Romantic literature through its immense lyricism and use of metaphor. The poem deals with themes of the violation of nature, the encroaching threat of the Orient and its strangeness on European culture, as well as the stifling nature of guilt, all contributing to a multi-faceted and pluralistic tale that deals with the breadth of human experience.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is one Continue reading...

Aliens Films (1979-1997)

What is the significance of events in films? Are all the bits and pieces in films intentionally included by directors? These are some of the questions I asked myself as I set out on a comprehensive analysis of the audience message in the Aliens Films (1979-1997). According to film analyst Greg Smith, different events in films are not to be treated as accidental encounters of random occurrence and spontaneity. They are instead purposefully planned series of events with cause and effect and with nothing left to chance (Greg 128). Greg explains that Hollywood films are inadvertently one of the Continue reading...

This report focuses primarily on commenting on the statement by Laurel Ulrich that, “Well behaved women seldom make history”. The optimal way to analyze this topic is to look upon the concept of sexism. Sexism is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as, “prejudice based primarily on sex; most importantly, discrimination against the female population”. This prevailent global issue is often addressed in what are known as women’s liberation movements calling on equal employment opportunities of women and to suppress acts of aggression and discrimination against the gender. However, these acts hold little to no success as backed by Continue reading...

Question 1

The violence of white southerners towards African, Republicans and their sympathizers was extremely evident throughout the reconstruction. This can be explained by the fact that they felt threatened by legislation to offer rights for former slaves. There violence was motivated by the civil rights bill of 1987, which declared right to all slaves. The white southerners thought the bill would reduce them to social equality and started the violence against the Republicans and their sympathizers as the way of resting the move. This bill threatened the economy of the southerners because the African Americans were extremely useful in their Continue reading...

The idea of counseling and psychological treatment is quite new on the timeline of human history. For the millennia leading up to the late 1800s, the notion that mental disorders could be fixed or that people could use counseling to work through mental barriers was simply a fancy of the imagination. There have always been places to warehouse the mentally ill, of course; in the New Testament, one reads of the sad case of Legion, a man who had undergone demon possession and was chained up outside of town, left simply to wait for death. When Jesus arrived, he Continue reading...

The majority of contemporary Americans do not believe in cooperation and unification of ideas for the betterment of society as a unit. Americans further adopts the concept of self-empowerment and self-enrichment to the expense of the larger society.

What is more, Americans will go to length in getting the best from others for personal interests and gains. The issue of brotherhood and sisterhood is relatively losing its meaning in American culture. Additionally, there is division of American society on the basis of Continue reading...

Team empowerment refers to capacity building where the employees will be able to make their own decisions without approval or supervision from the management.

This will, therefore, ensure that the decisions of all team members are taken into consideration in problem solving as well as decision making in the organization. This will also enable an organization to have a flat hierarchy of employees with a high proportion of the educated and trusted employees (Bojeun, 2013).

People need to understand the reason for the change. They need to know what the current situation is and why it needs to change to something different.

Sanderson (2006) says that in an autocratic style the manager is the sole decision maker. The manager runs all the decision-making processes without consultation. Autocratic style presents a lot of resentment among the employees. According to Holloway (2010), participative style encompasses contribution from all the employees in decision-making process. Participative approach is better than autocratic since the employees feel valued since their opinions matter.
Holloway (2010) state that centralized model empowers the lower cadres of staff to ensure they participate in decision-making process. A centralized approach streamlines processes and enables the employees to have one line of thought. A Continue reading...

The world is a very different place than it was when people first came out of medieval times. If a person from that period were to step into today’s world, they would surely die from fright.
