Essays on Gap

Whether there in any previous employers to which I would consider returning

No, there is no any previous company to which I would consider returning. I made this decision due to several reasons. The former employers failed to offer me opportunities of growth limiting my chances of achieving professional goals. Although I was exposed to learning opportunities, my duties were very limited. Also, the employers did not offer me the opportunity to work on my personal projects. Second, workload discourages me from returning to previous employers. In the previous two companies, I was unable to cope with the work pressure. The management usually set unrealistic targets, which resulted in stress. Additionally, ...

Nowadays, the studying of ethics has different faces. One can explore it through several prisms: either descriptive or normative, either metaethics or evolutionary one, etc. Frankly speaking, although each of these directions explores the same issues, the angles of view are rather different ones. What is more, many prominent scientists and researchers have devoted their professional efforts to prove the priority of certain positions. In this paper the position of Dutch primatologist and ethologist Frans de Waal will be thoroughly considered. To begin with, de Waal belongs to the researchers, the results of whose work are not the fruits ...

Caucasian and African women are segregated by the differences in their salary and education. With the persistence of racial-based wage and education gaps in modern society, the status and role of colored women, specifically those from the African descent, remain discriminated due to the prevalence of indissoluble racial and gender stereotypes. Although the philosophy of racial and gender equality has, in essence, created “equal education opportunities” for all females, the provision of racial equity has yet to be fully realized. In reality, however, the education and economic gap between Caucasian and African women evinces that the school and professional ...

A 1 + page discussion is describing disruptive business models. You should use examples of companies that have introduced disruptive business models to help with this description; like Dell Computer, Walmart, Southwest Airlines or perhaps Apple. Disruptive business model refers to any business innovation, which creates a new market and value network for a company or a product and in so doing, disrupts the existing value network and market (Shaughnessy, 2016). This consequently displaces established markets, products, and leading firms. The term was coined by Clayton M Christensen in 1995 and has since been used to describe disruptive phenomena on ...

Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians. The military-civil relationship in the United States is based on the doctrine about the civilian control over the military. This doctrine states that the control over the strategic plans and decision-making processes which could generally affect the whole nation should be in the hands of the civilian leaders and not the military leaders. It has ...

Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Takeover of SABMiller

The global beer industry, which has been growing steadily for almost a century now, is filled with variety. There are many types of beer that vary in flavor, production technique, ingredients, color, alcohol levels, and geographic origin. Also, the many brands vary greatly as well. Some brands dominate global beer markets, while other brands are very local - and everything in between.

Globalization is regarded as a process involving integration (Dixon & Davis, 2014). This occurs due to exchange of products, ideas, and various cultural aspects. Globalization has been enhanced by advances in telecommunications, the internet, transportation, and steam locomotives. Additionally, it has led to the growth in certain regions. Globalization has several advantages including development, economic growth, as well as expansion. On the other hand, critics maintain that it has detrimental effects on global populations (Dixon & Davis, 2014). Globalization affects the social well-being of individuals. The sustainability of increased expansion has been debated for long. These negative effects have led to ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Q1 (a) Adichie’s essay presented two basic examples based on the concept of feminism that exists in the minds of men. At first, she illustrated that how she preferred to wear clothes that were less feminine while going to her graduation school. The example gives an impression to the audience that men in the society think that girls are a weaker entity. It also provides an idea that girls have insecurity. Therefore, they tend to look manly to prove themselves as stronger while making a public appearance Q1 (b) Another example that Adichie’s essay has provided is ...

(the author’s name) (the institutional affiliation) Although the countries worldwide have been dealing with poverty issues for several decades this problem is still urgent.

Poverty is associated with individuals’ inability to sustain basic amenities which include decent access to adequate resources: food, clean water, housing, clothing, health services, and safety. Such deficiencies restrict human freedom ...

At the beginning of Ismaël Ferroukhi’s first feature film, “Le Grand Voyage”, the relationship between father and son is very tense, due to the generational gap which stops them from forming a truly close relationship. The beginning of the pilgrimage to Mecca finds Reda and his father very different. They seem to have nothing in common. The aged Moroccan immigrant cannot communicate effectively with his French son, and this is emphasized by the fact that they do not even speak the same language for most of the film. Even more important than the generational gap is the ...

The article "Despite Recession, High Demand for Skilled Labor" by Louis Uchitelle highlights the need for skilled labor despite the soaring unemployment rate. The unemployment rate has risen to 9.4 percent, the highest in 30 years (Uchitelle np). This increase is mainly due to a recession. Interestingly tough employers are looking for qualified workers even during the hard times according to the government's standard employment data. These jobs take years of experience to attain the required skills. For instance, it is tough to find an experienced person in welding. It takes a minimum of ten years to produce a ...

Nursing

<Student>

Abstract

It is possible to sort out three major counter-productive actions that took place throughout the meeting (although there were much more). First of all, the meeting started with a formal recital of orders that were imposed on the task force, instead of democratically sharing the views of the new management on the possible review of policies with the selected professionals. Secondly, the topic of new uniform (or scrubs) turned into the public ostracism of the nurse due to her appearance, which is in fact an action punishable by law. The ad hominem accusations prevented the meeting from ...

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

What are the determinants of the Deadweight Loss?

Introduction The deadweight problem happens when the government through an attempt to increase their earnings from the goods in a country increases the taxation on them. It happens when they impose a certain amount of tax on certain commodities in the market and the end consumer as well as the producer in charge of the production process forced to lose the whole or part of their surplus. The loss they both suffer is the deadweight loss. The government has the right to earn some form of income from the trade activities within their borders. However, they also need to ...

Three phase induction motors

Introduction The three-phase induction machine is the most widely used among the rotating machines. An induction machine offers an almost constant speed within its normal operating range when operated off a constant-voltage, constant-frequency, and with the electric power source. The cost of purchasing these machines is very low, and they require little maintenance. However, speed control is difficult and very expensive. Therefore, the rotor current of the three phase induction motors is not induced by electrical connections, but rather the rotation of magnetic field.

The Women’s Rights Movement arrived at its climax in 1970s and 1980s. However, there is still gender bias against women in the workplace. Discrimination is visible in many ways, including in the areas of wage equality, career progression, and leadership. Furthermore, such discrimination exists all over the world, though the capacity that such discrimination takes varies from country to country. While there has been undoubted progress in achieving gender equality over the decades, the task has not yet been completed. In her article, “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions,” Christine Williams reports on ...

Introduction

The concept of discrimination at the workplace has gone through a significant transformation as societal norms evolved under the pressure of globalization and urbanization, international mobility and access to information. While a lot have changed since the US have accepted equal employment opportunities and freedom of its black population, many will argue that gender and racial discrimination are still deeply embedded in employment relationships (Shen et al, 2009). The point that should be made here is once the first step was done to promote diversity and inclusion in social and business contexts, the society cannot go back and accept ...

The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere.

Research indicates that there is a considerable theory-practice gap in the nursing field. The theory-practice gap refers to the mismatch between theoretical nursing that is taught in a class and practical nursing as it is applied in a working environment. It is a global dilemma that every nation tries to deal with in a different manner (Butts, 2011). The theory-practice gap emanated from the hypothesis of applying basic nursing theory in direct practice. I firmly believe that the theory-practice gap has stopped nursing professionals from utilising their knowledge base fully in the practical settings, and it has also compromised ...

History

Abstract Karl Marx observed the large gap between workers’ and serfs’ quality of life compared to the aristocrats running European countries from France to Russia. He theorized that viewing workers as commodities necessary to produce profits was causing deep angry feelings of alienation in the working class. The pamphlet written by Marx and Engel called The Communist Manifesto (1849). Marx’s work grew from Hegel’s theories about alienation in order to apply to society in the decade of the 1840s (Panich & Leys, 1998). Contemporary authors have determined that the feelings of alienation in 1848 were similar to what ...
