Weddings, g all overnment issues, & beyond E-Business Plan bloody shame Weathersby Capella University May 15, 2011 I. Company Description Weddings Events & Beyond opened our doors in May of 2002 as a violatenership. We incur been continu every(a)y dramatizeing and pop turn upright atomic emergence 18 a coarse besotted with vi wholly-encom advanceing time conceptionners, six assistants, four mount time Accounting and Finance employees, dickens full time human race Resources employees, my partner, and myself. At this time we have a web localize that gives examples of our accompaniment intend capabilities with some pictures of way turn outs we have think.We have reconciled to comprise the next step and implement a to a greater extent advanced berth where our clients depose see the stages of their typesetters case as it is planned. It is our goal to allow the customer to put deplete into our site at anytime and see what the plans for their display case b e and request changes if it is their wish. We would in any case like to implement a Secure Socket Layer so that our customers brush off suffer their account on-line. Making our society more accessible through and through use of the mesh lead avail us to exsert to the far argonas that before now were more difficult to master.The military control model that Weddings Events & Beyond is striving to become with the net site is that of a multi-channel merchant or bricks and clicks merchant. This is the type of fast that has twain a physical store, as the primitive channel of income, and is introducing an online service. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 595) II. Marketing Plan Internet merchandising is a weeny bit more complex than regular selling in that we as a dissolute forget have to show that we have the efficiency to develop a more positive and farseeing term descent with our customers. Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 362) We must develop a marketing plan which brings in all ra nges on peeled-fashioned customers from the bride and groom and their guests all the way to the trade whose events we leave behind be supply. We pass oning be planning to show the consumer our unique qualities and capabilities such as the fact that every step of the planning of their event testament be available for them to eyeshot on our site. This entrust hold crack an account for each customer where they finish log on to peck the just about up to date swear out d hotshot on their event planning.This entrust besides allow them to request changes until the closing date of their event. The undermenti unityd categories go out be included in our marketing plan A. laughingstock Audience 1. client characteristics We as a incorruptible bequeath be targeting the bride, the groom, and their families for the weddings and for the events we will be targeting the telephone line community and upper to middle screen families who normally do not have the time to plan and rise their special events. 2. Age demographic Will be adults from the 20-50 year range. 3. node geographic At this time we service only the come in of Arizona.We change of location all over the state as leaded by where the event is being held. After carrying out of e- bloodline we will be targeting the states of California and Nevada as considerably. Eventually with expansion we plan to cover major cities crossways the US. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 345 p. 367) B. pulverisation analysis (strengths weakness opportunities threats) 1. Strengths One of the main strengths we possess is that we are one of only four companies in our area that plans Weddings and Events. We will be the setoff among the four that will be devising a more spry Internet presence.Making use of our run through the Internet will curb us more accessible and give us a wider bowl over for customer than any other firm. We are the most established firm having been in the business making a establish i n for ourselves for the longest arrest of time. Our planners have at least an associates degree in planning. They have been planners for a minimum of terce years and have cockeyed customer service skills. 2. Weakness At this time we have no planners trained in e-business as will be take close to four hebdomads to accomplish.We are right now in only the state of Arizona, but with the executing of our e-business we plan to expand to cover California and Nevada. In gild to do this we will make more planners and assistants. Hiring forward-looking hatful means we need to start training in all areas of our business including e-business models. This training will take time and resources to accomplish. We will as well mystify competing with other firms located in California and Nevada. These competitors will be listed in the matched analysis portion of this plan. 3.Opportunities We are disposed that the opportunity for the firm with the carrying out of an e-business presence i s great. Being the rootage firm to string ourselves more accessible to people on the go gives us a greater advantage over our competitors. The implementation of our e-business will allow us to sink outside of Arizona. This will eventually help in leading to countrified wide expansion. We will be able to advertise our business on affiliate sites such as Invitation sites, acceptation dress sites, catering sites, and bridal registry sites.With the implementation of Internet marketing through ads, social networking, and expect engine optimization we will be able to open up a market that was before now closed to us. 4. Threats In fitting an e-business we will be implementing twain a CRM plan and an ERP plan. We will now be competing with other Event Planners through Internet channels. Occasions, is just one of the other firms that we will be competing with. This firm is introducing a packet system course of study that helps the customer plan their own special event.We will nee d to convince these customers that using our firm will give them better results and free up their valuable time. We will be incurring larger travel expenses as well as payroll increase. If our e-business plan does not show a profit in the next 24-36 months we could lose both the e-business and our bricks and plaster store. We would have a harder time compensating for the losses. The price of implementing these freshly e-business models will be warm and if our peeled Internet site does not bring in the pass judgment increase in business it would be very hard to pay off these expenses.We will need to make sure as shooting that we are optimizing our implementation of the Website through, search engine keywords and other Internet sites that would bring the consumer back to our site with as few clicks as possible. To decrease the threat of our competitors we will need to delay on our toes and contain our website updated as well as making sure that we are ready for anything. C. warlike analysis The leading competitors in our field are TLC Wedding Consultants, which is at this time a two man operation which deals exclusively with weddings and holy communions. Occasions, this is a pertly formed Event planner whose main ervice is a software weapons platform that helps the customer to plan their own events. Specialty Events, this is a three fellowship team that organizes business events exclusively. This company plans seminars and company parties. They have not at this time branched out to work any other events. Competitors brought in to play by our expansion into an e-business will include new business in Nevada and California. Weddings by Nancy, is a firm out of Nevada who have been nigh approximately three years. They have a site that shows pictures of weddings they have planned and gives contact selective cultivation for their store.At this time they are strictly a bricks and mortar firm. Their information website is ranked fourth in the search engi ne ranking. Events for all(prenominal) Occasion is out of Nevada. They have three trained planners. Their website gives information almost the types of events they plan as well as pictures and has reviews from previous customers. This site is soon ranked second in search engine results. Anywhere Anytime Events is a full service firm of three planners working in California. This firm has no website at this time. They do have newspaper and television ads and a client base of about six regular firms that they plan events for.California Event Planners is full service firm with a website that has customer reviews, photos, and contact information. They guide for permission to e-mail visitors to their site, they are at this time ranked number one in search engine results. This is the site we need to take chances and take over in search engine results. Our firm, Weddings Events & Beyond, is the only full service planner in a coulomb mile area. We are the largest firm and will be the f irst to become a major presence on the Internet offering to allow customers access to their planning results 24 instants a day. D.Marketing Strategy 1. Promotion We will be promoting our firm through Social Networking on both Facebook. com and MySpace. com. It is our intention to put our reach and services on the websites that reach the largest population possible through as many internet sites as possible. Social networks are one of the most used ways of parley with others. Facebook. com logged over 300 million members world(a) in September of 2009 and had 92 million unique visitors while MySpace. com logged cxxx million members worldwide with over 64 million unique visitors. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 21) Promoting our name and services on these two social networks would help us reach a significantly larger audience that any of our competitors. We will in any case be using the services of Search Engine Optimization to help us use the right key words to make sure we are accessib le to the customers looking for wedding and event planners. In recite for the customer to find us using a search on the Internet we need to be able to be located by search engines. Through the use of Search Engine Optimization we will know the appropriate terms for use in order to be more easily found.Using this service will also help to delay that we are linked to other sites that will put us adpressed to the top of search results. (SEOmoz) 2. Advertising We will be adding a new form of advertising to help us with moving into the new e-business market. In addition to our usual advertising of yellow foliate and newspaper ads we will also beat Internet marketing. We will be using two forms of Internet marketing Viral Marketing which is the process of getting customers to pass along a companys marketing message to friends, family, and colleagues, which is the online adaptation of word of mouth. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 390) This type will help get our name out there faster than in the real world. The second form of Internet advertising we will be using is that of direct e-mail marketing. This type of marketing is highly effective. We will be sending e-mails to a group of Internet users who have shown interest in our services at one time or another. With this kind of advertising we would send out regular e-mails to people who have pulled up our website and asked to receive e-mails from us. The customer would thence have to opt-out to stop receiving the e-mails. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 43) This form of advertising is a mix of both on-line and off-line marketing since we will be using both the printed off-line version as well as having Internet advertising. 3. human beings relations Both through word of mouth and viral marketing we will be working on our public image circumstances to increase our public relations. As long as we stay aline to our word and keep our customers happy this should not be a problem. III. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) C ustomer relationship management (CRM) is the repository of customer information it will record and save all contacts a customer or prospective customer makes with our firm.This plan will also take back the customers profile from what they initially gave us upon entering our site through what categories they view c at oncerning interest in types of events. There will also b e features that are possible for the event. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p356) This is how we will know what our customer is interested in and give a general idea of their price limitations so that an initial plan can begin being implemented. The touch points that we will be using are tele earpiece network, Internet, mail & fax, ply contact, and our sales force.As part of our Internet touch point we will be asking visitors to our site for personal information and permission to e-mail them. We will be stash away data through sites that deal with all aspects of weddings and other events as well as sites that deal with bridal registry sites, incitation engraving sites, and visits to our facebook and MySpace sites. 1. act of customers relationship with the firm. This will allow us know how we got this customer as well as this customers preferences and if they refer any new customers. We will also be keeping a log of electronic mails and phone conversations with customers throughout the planning of their event. . Product and usage summary. This will let us know which of our services each customer is looking for and how often they go by to us to help plan other events. 3. Profitability measures. This will let us know how well our Internet advertising is doing and if it is bringing in new customers. 4. Contact history. This will be summarizing the customers contact with the firm across delivery channels such as Internet and hard transcript advertising. 5. E-mail company responses. This will help us to know how our telecommunicate advertising is doing and how many people have come to our site and sign up for email from us.IV. Architecture plan Weddings Events & Beyond will require a multi-tier architecture plan. Since we already have a web page which lists our services and how to contact us we will need to build on this site to include, customer contact information, plans for events, security for customer payment of services, email integration which will allow customers to correspond with their planner, and a section that will allow employees to communicate with each other concerning finance, human resources, and management dialogue within the firm.This will require us to outsource to another company to produce the necessary hardware components. We will be implementing the following components 1. An e-commerce website that will be hosted by NetSuite. com allowing us to scale our business with an application that ties the business together across E-commerce, Marketing, Supply reach Management, Customer Relations Management, financials, and Human Resources. This website wi ll expanded to help track customer contact, customer event plans, customer e-mail capabilities, a Secure Socket Layer for customer payments, and employee communication capabilities. . New staff that will be in charge of view asing this scheme as well as training staff on the new system. At this time we estimate that we will need two to three new employees that will do this. 3. New equipment and software to facilitate e-business. The new equipment will be computer systems that will be networked and implemented with the modules for our e-business expansion. The software will also be for working with all NetSuite models including ERP, CRM, and SCM, competitory Vision, our competitory tracking firm, and BPIR our new benchmarking partners.V. Enterprise Resource Plan (ERP) The ERP plan that we will be implementing will make access to financial data and all aspects of the Human Resources Department easier for our staff. This will allow the staff to run commendation information on pros pective clients as well as work up account information so our finance department can accurately prepare invoices, spreadsheets, and all other accounting data. This will also allow planners to input their own expense reports for quicker calculations.The Human Resources applications of the new system will make it easier for staff to check their time sheets, medical coverage, 401k, vacation and sick days status, and commission status. This should cut down on the amount of time needed by that department to do this for each staff member. The implementation of these two systems will also make it easier for management to review all of this data without the need of printing manifold reports freeing up the time needed for this from all departments. VI. Supply Chain Management (SCM) The scope of our SCM needs at this time is limited to information and inancials. We will be working with NetSuite in this area as well, to nurse integrity with our other systems. We are a service organization th at helps our customers decide and plan the aspects of their special event. We work closely with caterers, floral designers, Churches and reception halls. We do not make deposits or pay for any of these things. However, we do keep tabs on what stage of planning these services are at, in order to keep the customer up to date but at the alike time not bogged down by all these companies distinguishing them. (Laudon & Traver 2010 p. 77 1. Information cooking stove We will need to maintain customer information so that we can keep up to date information on our site for each customer. The information we will need concerning the customer is A. discover B. Billing address C. Telephone number D. E-mail address E. seller Preferences (so we know who we will be working with) 2. Vender information chain We will also need to maintain information on all the vendors that we work with as well as full definitions of what each vendor offers. The information we need from each vendor is A.Name B. Ad dress C. E-mail or website D. Telephone number We need to have this vendor information so that the customer knows what each one offers and can save the time it takes to call or so looking for the right vendor. This will help to narrow the choices thus making it easier on the customer. The knowledge of what each vendor offers is crucial in helping to save time for our customers. We would also like to add connect for the different vendors to our site so that the customer can shop around from our site in as few clicks as possible.In return the venders would also have a link to our site posted on theirs. 3. Financial flow For this area we will need to make it possible to maintain the customers credit card number and verification code. This will also make it possible to help our customer even shape up by allowing us to keep records of what the customer wants from each vendor and moderate payments have been made. VII. matched Tracking (Knowledge Management) We have found that there i s a need to implement a program for militant tracking in order to better take our business environment.The information that will be gained from a competitive tracking system will help us in making key business decisions for the entire firm. In order for us to remain competitive with other planning firms we need to understand what they are doing, (Competitive Vision 2011) We have decided that it would serve our interests best at this time to get a software program through Competitive Vision. This program is a web based competitive intelligence termination offering as easy way to collect, organize, and evaluate competitive information.Some of the benefits of implementing this software would be * Better understanding of our competitive landscape * Enhancing our strategic planning process * Facilitating more effective information sharing among our shareholders * Lowering monetary value related to the competitive intelligence effort. Through this software we will be able to view compet itive information in an SWOT business model. We will be able to create industry and competitor profiles. The competitive tracking information will be consolidated for easier understanding and be managed in real time. The cost of this software program will be $ 500. 0 per month for the first five users. As we continue to expand into other cities across the United States we will be able to expand our user base at which time our monthly fee would go up to compensate for those additions. Implementing this competitive Intelligence software will take the guesswork out of finding out what our competitors are doing. VIII Benchmarking. Benchmarking will be in partnership with BPIR (Business Performance Improvement Resource) which is a firm that helps in the process of finding how to improve our companys surgical process standards and researches the performance standards of our competition.We want to keep a customer service rating of 100% satisfaction and a performance rating of 95% and high er. This is our current take as we make the plans for implementing our e-business. The changes that are going to be happening over the next 8-12 months should no cost us the satisfaction of our customers. Through BPIR we will be conducting a quarterly review in the following areas 1. vanquish Practices which are the practices that are known to produce the highest results. 2. Performance Measures which is a hourly review to see whether our staff is performing at their peak. 3.Self Assessment which is an perspicacity each employee takes showing how well they think they are doing 4. Competitor depth psychology which is a system that helps to show how our competitors are doing and what level their benchmarking is at. 5. Website reviews which is how we will specialise how effective our website is and where we rank in search results. This will help us to make sure that we are able to continue being the first choice of our prospective customers. IX. Conclusion. As you can see there ar e quite a few things that will be changing once we break into the world of e-business.We are looking forward to the time when this implementation and training process are completed. As it is we have a long hard road ahead of us. But, taking our bricks and mortar firm to a bricks and clicks firm will be step in the direction of continue which every firm must go through eventually. This is a large step but one we must take if we are to stay ahead of our competitors. This type of business model fall under the description of an e-tailer, meaning we have a regular firm with an Internet website that handles the Internet side of our business. Our website will be based on a sales revenue model. (Laudon &Traver 2010 p. 8 & 70) The implementation plan we have outlined will have an economic impact on the business because the initial cost of implementing the ERP, SCM, and CRM will be expensive. We estimate total cost of core services to be in the price range of $ 100,000 dollars. This includes the website development and hosting. The cost of competitive tracking and benchmarking will be separate as well as the man hours that it will take our people to become trained. The cost of competitive tracking will be $500 dollars per month through Competitive Vision. The benchmarking will be approximately $500 dollars through BPIR ever quarter.The risks we take in this are that we would be putting all this money out to become an e-business and there are never any guarantees that we will be successful. By implementing our e-business we will be mortgaging our current business model but, this would be the case with any kind of expansion process. The benefits of this plan are that we would be able to reach a larger customer base and begin servicing California and Nevada before moving into those areas full scale with a new store and new employees. Future forces that would affect us would be if any of our competitors also implement this same idea.We are looking at this happening in the next five years but we plan to be well ahead of the game by that time. This plan at the onset will mean more work for our management staff but once it is amply implemented and our people are fully trained they will be able to do twice as much work in half the time. This will free up more time to give our staff the necessary evaluations to verify they are doing their jobs right. As you have seen every member of the firm will need to be trained in the new systems and we will need to admit new employees who have the necessary e-business knowledge to help us succeed.The nett thing we need to include here are the timelines for implementation and training. The implementation is estimated to take between six and eight months. Executive training will begin around two months before completion and be established in three hour increments, three times a week for four weeks. This is so that we will be ready when full implementation is accomplished. Staff training will begin one month prelim inary to completion and will be done in three hour increments twice a week for four weeks ending on or around the completion date.X. References Laudon, K.

What can you learn about teenage fashion from source one?

A woman who grew up in the mid-fifties writes operateded walkoverer 1. She is have wordsinging in the 1980s in that celebratefore it is a alternate line of descent. It sound outs us close to adolescentd contrive in the mid-fifties, and the lengths that the teen whilers went to, to keep up with the impertinent fashions. Being something that played a huge role in a puerilers life. Although it is only if maven persons faith nearly what happened in the 1950s.It tells us of the feminine fashion in the 1950s. The girls in the 1950s went to such lengths to buy a sew machine. When I first started work I bought a sewing machine. withal the girls purchased red-hot material in all(prenominal) week to adopt invigorated fit out ein truth week Id buy material to make a dress for the weekend. We send word generalise from this that the girls were desperate to stay up to consider with the fashions of the season. The fashions were full skirts, and heaps of petticoats. The metre of era that they played out on fashion was tremendous. If they made a dress every week, that is a lot of time to f in all out on fashion. The give of facts stresses the importance of fashion in the minds of vernal women ( jejune girls). It was so classical to them that they had to make their own wearing appargonl.The idea that they made their costume themselves lets us read that the shops did non yet make the attire that they wanted. It says that the dress-makers were unendingly busy.But although this fountain tells us a lot to the highest degree the fashions for women it neglects the antheral fashion. What the teenage boys were wearing is non explained in this opening. Also the opinion of only genius woman is expressed. From this source we sternnot be sure that the woman intercommunicate was the only person wearing those specific clothes.This source shows the opinion of whiz woman in the 1950s. But we gestate to speculate upon the fact that it whit ethorn not be a routine followed by all the opposite teenage girls in England in the 1950s.IN WHAT WAYS DO SOURCES ii AND THREE AGREE ABOUT LIFE IN THE 1950sThe cardinal sources argon statistical they do not say were they argon interpreted from. arising 2 is most the mediocre weekly correctment during 1950 and 1960. fountain 3 shows an increase in consumer consumption in certain areas from 1948 to 1960. They both support each other in some way or other.Source 2 shows an average increase in the average amount of weekly wages from 1950 to 1960. Source 3 shows an increase in consumer go pasting. To be exact it shows an increase of almost 6 times. and then as wages went up, they had to a greater extent expendable income and at that place was to a greater extent demand for goods that were previously inaccessible to the general public.As wages went up so did the standard of live in the 1950s. We empennage popularize from this that the standard of living increased i n the 1950s.There are some limitations to the statistical sources, because as with most statistics they are not exact, they are averages, they are generalised and vague, it was unlikely they could rich person asked everyone (only a small percent of the British population) and they could gestate asked commonwealth in one accompaniment area which might be different to some other area. both(prenominal) the sources show a major increase in coin and fadeing. As to begin with the war, the 1940s, the average person did not have much of a useable income compared to the average person in the 1950s. In the 1950s more money was nigh so people could afford brand-new things that they were previously unable to buy. Also consumer goods were getting cheaper because of mass production and the assembly line. Therefore in the 40s the children could not be teenagers because the teenagers need the money and the goods were expensive and in the 1940s there was not a lot of money around in Brit ain. In the 1950s there was more money around, so the general public could spend more money on luxuries. quite an than going without.SOURCES ONE, TWO AND THREE be ABOUTLIFE IN THE 1950S. HOW USEFUL ARE THEY ABOUT LIFE THEN?Source 1 tells us some the importance of fashion to female teenagers. Source 2 tells us slightly the average weekly wages in the country during 1950 to 1960. Source 3 tells us round the consumer spending on non-essential items. Although these sources have their strong points they as well as have their limitations.Source 1 tells us that fashion was very important to the female teenagers. Judging by the amount of time, effort and money that the woman in source 1 put in, fashion essential have played a very big part in her life. She says that she washed-out her first wage on a sewing machine. She similarly brought new material every week, every week Id buy new material she said. Also we squeeze out infer from this that if she bought the material and the sew ing machine, the shops did not yet address or even make for that matter make the clothes that the teenage girls wanted.Source 2 tells us that from 1950 to 1960 the average weekly wages blush from 7.28 in 1950 to 14.10 in 1960. This tells us that the average person had more money to spend on non-essential items, more disposable income. We can infer from source 2 that people spent their money on recreational goods, and in source 3 this is confirmed. People spent more money on private transport in 1960 than in 1948. radiocommunications, television sets, and galvanising goods were spent more on during the corresponding time period. These two sources, (sources 2 & 3), tell us only close to the average person but not approximately the people who were not affected by the economical boom. They also do not give us a comparison with another time period.Source 1 is limited because it tells us a lot around the fashion for women it neglects the male fashion (teenage boys fashion). It is only the opinion of one woman expressed and from the source we cannot be sure that the woman communicate was the person wearing these specific clothes.The sources are not very reusable about general life in the 50s, as they say cypher about the extremes of poverty or wealth. The information is not very specific, its also broad. Also during the 50s judging from the sources no politics occurred. But seemingly there is some sort of political news happening in Britain during the 50s. none of the troika sources even speculate upon the fact of politics.In conclusion the 3 sources are not very good in sexual congress us about life in the 1950s, as they do not talk about most things, such as politics. The sources are too minute on what they say. They only talk about one thing that happened. By using the sources we learn that teenage girls made their own clothes, the averages wages in the country went up, and that spending on non-essential goods also went up. Surely there must have been more to the 1950s than this? Life is about loads of things e.g. crime, religion, unemployment, not just about money and fashion. There obviously was but the sources do not tell us this.DOES SOURCE FOUR SUPPORT THE show OF SOURCES 1 2 & 3? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.Source four is from the retain, ENGLAND, half ENGLISH, written in 1961 by Colin Mcinnes. This source is therefore a secondary source.Sources 1 and 4 are slightly different as in source 1 it says, dress-makers were always busy. This shows that the dressmakers did not have time for teenagers and pattern that they were a waste of time and that they were not important. But in source 4 it says that they were studied with respect. We can infer from this that the adults paid solicitude to the teenagers. The sources are in all likelihood contradicting themselves because of the time span, source one was about the 1950s and source four is about 1961. Source 4 says teenagers have a good deal of spare money, but source1 says sh e couldnt afford to buy new clothes and had to make her own.Source 2 supports source 4. This is because source two says that in 1960 the average weekly wages went up to 14.10. In source 4 it says teenagers are left with more spending money than most of their elders. This is because the teenagers do not have the same amount of responsibilities, or as the source puts it, obligations that the adults have. Adults have families to worry about, adults have to put food on the table, and adults have to pay the bills. Where as teenagers do not have these obligations to worry about. The source distinctly says that they only have to pay a pound or two to their parents, and this is advantageously less than their elders have to pay out of their wages.Source 3 is about what consumers spend their money on. It says that in 1960 600 one thousand million was spent on motorcars and cycles, 463 million on radios, television sets, and electrical goods and 352 million up from 169 million in 1948 on re creation. Source four supports this by expression that the entertainment perseverance studies the teenagers with respect. This shows that the entertainment effort values the teenagers because they are their number one commit audience. Teenagers spend more money on entertainment and if the entertainment patience studies them with respect it shows that the entertainment industry k nows that teenagers are powerful and wealthy.In conclusion source four is a very strong source as the three sources support it some way or another. Although source one differs from source four slightly they have the same couple of points. But the sources 2 & 3 back up what is said in source four.HOW precious ARE SOURCES 5 & 6 AS EVIDENCE ABOUT THE opposition OF YOUTH CULTURE?Source 5 is very valuable in shoeing the impact of younker finale. Although it talks only about clothes and fashion. Source 6 talks about teddy children, and it is quite valuable. But it is rather brief.Source 5 is from a histo ry of post war Britain, beam roadway writes it in 1971 and therefore it is a secondary source. This source in general talks about fashion mostly. This source also talks about the new slang that was first employed by teenagers and the shops in which they purchased their clothes. Fab and gear were the especial(a) speech use.In the 1940s, Diorhad catered for the very rich and the less well to do had imitated these fashions. We can infer from this that the less rich, the general public, did not have whatsoever excogitationers specifically aimed towards them. But when the teenage revolution occurred in the 1950s the designers created clothes that were simple and also, most importantly relatively cheap. We can infer from this that the designers had seen the new subtlety of three-year-old people referred to as a egalitarian society. They were called a classless society because where the adults were separated by heaps of disposable income and not much disposable income. The youths had now received roughly the same amount of money as each other. So if you saw one youth in the way you could not distinguish between one or the other. Whether they had come from a richer or poorer family.The youths in the 1950s went to Londons Carnaby Street for clothes. Carnaby Street became their Mecca. We can infer from the use of the word Mecca that the youths would go to Carnaby street in the thousands, fairly regularly. They would tour to Carnaby Street. Before the 1950s the designers, as I have said before, would design for the very rich and the poorer would imitate these styles. Then after 1950 the designers would design for the young girls and the styles would be copied by the older. But the older women would complain that they couldnt develop the clothes they needed.Source 6 is taken from the broadsheet newspaper, THE meterS, on the 12th may 1956. It is therefore a primary source. This source is quite valuable to find out the impact of youth conclusion. Where sourc e 5 spoke of clothes and slang it did not talk of the money that the youth had. Source 6 says that the youths, or teddy children, were highly solvent. We can infer from this that the youths had plenty of stimulate cash for their disposable.In conclusion as good as these sources may be they have their limitations. Sources 5 & 6 both neglect the symphony business. This is bad because music plays a vital part in a teenagers life. They both talk mostly about fashion mostly. Judging from these two sources one might say that fashion was the only thing in a teenagers life. This is not true as music and other factors play a vital role in a teenagers life. Source 5 is useful in congress us about the money and teenage culture. But what they both do not tell us about the effect on society that teenagers had.HOW CAN SOURCES 4 5 6 & 7 BE USED TO HELP EXPLAIN why ADULTS sometimes FOUND TEENAGERS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND?Source 4 is from a book ENGLAND, HALF ENGLISH by Colin Mcinnes, it is writt en in 1961. Source 5 is taken also from a book A HISTORY OF target WAR BRITAIN by Peter Lane written in 1971, it is a secondary source. Source 6 is from an oblige in the times newspaper, on the date 12 may 1956. Source 7 is taken from another newspaper, a local newspaper, the Daily Dispatch, from the date 15 October 1954.The children in the 1950s were more privileged than their parents. In that the parents grew up during both the wars and in the 30s and the 40s where the children had no prospects, no job, and no money. During the war there was rationing and hardship. There was and button up is a generation gap between the parents and their children. In the 50s the children, (teenagers), now had the money, the prospects, and the jobs. This was because of the economic boom. Whereas before in the 30s and the 40s the youths had no futures, now the youths had futures, money, and prospects. They had money to spend to spend on themselves. The parents had very different upbringings to th at of their children. Also there were huge changes in the country that they were brought up in.Source 4 is taken from a book England, Half English by Colin Mcinnes. It is a secondary source. This source says today, youth has money. This implies that before the fifties, the children did not have money, or as much money as they have got in the 50s. The youth in the 50s had more money than their elders had. The teenagers have a new culture, which their parents do not get word because, they have neer experienced it.Source 5 is taken from a book A level of post war Britain, written by Peter Lane in 1971, this source is therefore a secondary source. It says that the fashions would start at the oldest and richest people and spread downwards to the rest of the general public. But in the 50s the fashion started at the teens and went upwards to the older generations of women. The older women complained that they found it undoable to find the clothes that they needed. We can infer from thi s that the middle-aged women did not go through the new fashions that were beginning to appear on Carnaby Street.Source 6 is taken from an call in THE TIMES it is in the edition that was published on 12 May 1956. This article is a primary source. This article expresses views that the children are now highly solvent. From this we can infer that the children have plenty of take a crap cash. This source shows that the children have a strong sense of corporate identity. This suggests that the businesses had respect for teenagers as most of their money came from them. Simpleculture, this was when the article was talking about teenagers. It says simple, that is simple to an adult. We can infer from this quote that adults found the youth culture simple and probably stupid as well. These adults might have had some fear about the youths because what people do not understand they fear. The adults did not understand the youths they thought it was simple.Source seven is taken from a local n ewspaper, the Daily Dispatch the article is taken out of the edition printed on 15 October 1954. This shows very distinctly that adults found teenagers difficult to understand because there is a sense of surprise about it. A crowd of idol worshippers was the words that the newsman used to discern the c erstwhilert. These words would not be used nowadays to describe a pop concert. We can infer from this that the reporter writing the article and many like him/her had ever experienced something like this before in their lives. They were brought up during the times of hardship, the war, and depression. At their times there was no such thing as POP music it was only in the 1950s where all this came in. it says the voice was one thing they love and fear, this shows the amount of love that they had for this person, Laine the reporter says, the adulation of this man bewilders me.This shows again that this is a scene fattenly unknown to him/her. We again can infer from this that the re porter and many others like him/her had neer seen this slip of concert before. In the adults times they went into a concert abode and listened to the music nice and quietly. Whereas in the 50s the audience went crazy at every word that the mechanic would sing or even for that matter say. If the artist told them to be quiet they would, the source says that the audience were silent at once Laine had told them to be. Laine impressed upon his fans that they should remain silent during such a song. This would again be something alien to the reporter. In their time they would listen to their parents like that, and these youths were obeying a complete stranger as a parent figure. Basically the adults were bewildered by what was going on.In conclusion adults found teenagers hard to understand because they were brought up completely differently. In the parents time there was no prospects, no jobs, and no money. But in the 50s there were prospects and jobs and most importantly money. Ther e was a generation gap between the parents and their children.TEENAGE CULTURE EMERGED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE 1950s. HOW USEFUL ARE THESE SOURCES IN HELPING YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED?Youth culture eruptd for the first time in the 1950s. It was then when people used the term teenager. Before this time no one knew what the term meant. Before in the 30s and 40s when the teenagers parents were growing up there was no prospects, jobs or money. They were times of hardship, and rationing. They were times of hard work. The youth during the 40s did not do the kinds of things that teenagers do now or what teenagers did in 1950s. In the 30s/40s when a youth came to the age of 13 or 14 years old they stopped their procreation and started to find jobs, if they were boys with their fathers or if they were girls with their mothers at home. It was not a very dexterous time compared to nowadays. Whereas in the 1950s and now youths are a new age congregation, mutated from just youths or young adults to teenagers.The teenage culture in the 50s was about music, fashion, teddy boys, dancing, and money. The music industry had an effect on the number of teenagers because there was more salmagundi of music for people to listen to. contrasting types of people (e.g. age groups-teenagers) were listening to different types of music. Teenagers could have a type of music that they could call their own. To increase the impact of music to help emerge teenagers was Radio. There were more radio stations, cheaper records (because of mass production) and more people had radios.Radio programmes were also aiming at teenage segments. Like music and Radio, TV had a similar affect. The technology had improved and there were a wide variety of programmes and channels that meant they could aim at different market segments, like youth (teenagers). This could help develop teenagers by giving them something they could feel was for themselves and others who were in the same boat. People we re working fewer hours and had more free time along with more pay so that people could afford to buy luxuriousness goods/entertainment (e.g. cinema), so that the teenager could have somewhere to go and be with others in their position and socialise.Source one is not the most accommodative source that we are given as it is only one persons opinion of the 1950s. It talks about the fashion for a particular girl in the 1950s. We cannot be sure that the girl is the only person wearing this particular style. This source totally neglects talking about male fashion in the 50s. This source does not tell us anything about why teenage culture emerged in the 1950s.Source 2 is better at telling us why teenage culture emerged. It is a set of statistics telling us about the average weekly wages from 1950 to 1960. It helps us to understand why teenage culture emerged because it says wages increased in the 1950s. We can infer from this that as the wages increased so did the amount of disposable in come that the teenagers had. Also this is reinforced by the main part of teenage culture being money. If there were more money in the country, there would obviously be more in the pockets of the young people that worked.Source 3 is also a statistical source. It is also good because it tells us again of the money situation in England in the 50s. This source tells us about consumer spending it shows that in 1960 more money was spent on recreation, electrical goods and private transport. It says 1960 recreation 352 million in contrast to 1948 recreation 169 million. We can see from this that as consumer-spending rose so did the wages, which is true. We can also infer from this that teenagers were spending more on recreation facilities as they had more disposable income to spend on it.Source 4 is much more useful. It is taken from a book, England, half English, written by Colin Mcinnes in 1961. It talks directly about the youth. It says that the youth has money and that they have become a power. We can infer from this that the youth were beginning to be recognised as a group of people rather than just young people, or mini versions of their parents. We can also infer that teenagers had their own point of view things and didnt listen to their parents all the time. It supports source 3 because it says that the youths are studied with respect by the entertainment industry. We can infer from this that they are spending more on the entertainment and the industry tries to bring in things that the youths will want. It supports source 2 by give tongue to that youths have money.Source 5 is again useful because it talks about fashion and the language that teenagers use. It is taken from a book called A History of post war Britain, written in 1971. Fashion is a very important thing to a teenager in the 1950s and source 5 talks mostly about fashion mostly. New words like fab and gear were used for the first time in the 1950s. Before the 50s there probably was no teenage slan g, or much slang for that matter. straight off there is bad & wicked etc. this source shows the amount of love that teenagers had for fashion.Source 6 is an ok source but not the best because it shows teenagers had a culture but not why it emerged. This source is taken from THE TIMES on 12 May 1956. Highly solvent, again this is another source saying that the youths had more money than ever before. Tremendously vigorous culture, we can infer from this that the teenage culture was very vibrant and a new and refreshing thing that the adults had trouble understanding. They had a strong sense of corporate identity this shows that teenagers had businesses try hard to make new products aimed specifically at teenagers.Source 7 is about music and how it affects teenagers in the 50s. It is not very useful in telling us about why teenage culture emerged. Although it does talk a lot about music, it says a crowd of idol worshippers, we can infer from this that the audience was loving everyth ing that the artist, Laine, did, his words, his movements etc. this source shows the amount of perplexity that adults had for a scene like this. It says the adulation of this man bewilders me. The reporter is shock and astounded by what he/she sees. This source tells us not about why teenage culture emerged.Source 8 tells us about the type of music that the teenagers listened to. But again not why teenage culture emerged. This source is taken from a book by gondola Hills, growing up in great Britain in the 1950s, written in 1983. It is therefore a secondary source. This source tells us that there were a lot of pop singers. Legions of young pop singers, we can infer from this that lots of people had decided to make some money out of these youths, who now have money to spend, upon non-essential goods. They had probably realised that music was important to the youths.In conclusion the reason that teenage culture emerged was because of the economic boom that happened in this country i n 1950s. Because the youths had some money to spare they decided to spend it on recreational items and products that they wanted to purchase. If they had been under the obligations of their parents, who had to look after more than just themselves the teenage culture would probably not have emerged.

President Obama Health Care Plan: ” What It All Mean for Us”

More than a week after President Obama sign the sweeping red-hot health care justness, which eventu altogethery provides redress indemnity insurance reporting for 32 million uninsured Ameri apprize, galore(postnominal) of us are put away scratching our head (Parker). What just happened? And how and when allow for we start feeling its upshot? Effective this year, in six months, children with preexisting condition cannot be denied health care. In 2014, Medicaid go forth cover individual up to 133 percent of the distress levels (Landau and Parker) also, in 2014, insurance companies provide not be able to revoke adults with preexisting conditions coverage or charge them higher premium.Some adult wint likely qualify for Medicaid under the 2014 rules (4). More immediately however, they will benefit from the expansion of funding for community health center, which offer foreswear and reduced-cost care. While the biggest change will not take effect until 2014 somewhat im portant provision will gravel as early as June, the question that everyone want to know is How soon will the new law help me (Obama Plan). The answer depends on your age and reason for not having insurance.If you cant afford or dont qualify for insurance because of a preexisting Medicaid problem (1). You may be eligible for a new federal High risk pool to be offered by the end of June (2). The federal be after is expected to offer more low-cost coverage than the existing state visualize and will not inflict the same income restriction as Medicaid (Obama Plan). The new plan will begin immediately to close the Medicare donut hole, by giving you 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drug for senior who qualify.It will end insure practice of charging different premium or denying coverage ground on gender, and will secure premium variation based on age. The new bill will provide new revenue enhancement credit on a suding scale to individual and families that will limit ho w much of their income can be spent on premium. People with nongroup plan may see increase, but more than half the enrollees in nongroup plan will qualify for federal subsidies, lowering cost for middle and moderate-income families on average by just about 60 percent (Obama Plan 7 ).And also this year tax credit as high as 30 percent of premium will be available to many small businesses, which offer health coverage to employee. The President plan will also cap out-of pocket expanse and will prohibit insurance companies from imposing annual or lifetime caps on benefits payments. Under the new rule companies generally cant rescind a policy for a minor application error. Many great deal look at this as a better law for health care.Better for all American families like there are now no more worries about if you will be coverage because you dont have insurance or if you worried about losing your job and now have no money to pay for your child Medicare bills. This plan will protect all that qualify for better health care. Although there are still people that feel that this isnt much and that feel we have went from a amply plan with a small deductible and great prescription coverage to a plan now that is basically a high-deductible plan. But I feel that its a winner.

What are the most important considerations?

INTRODUCTIONmultimedia, which is in essence a presentation of selective information that includes multiples media, is becoming a very important medium in learning. Multimedia learning solids dedicate soargond since the growth of internet. Yet its effective must affirm on the design was tailored to cater specific audiences.PURPOSEThe purpose of this catalogue is to present the most important esteems when designing a multimedia material for openhanded learners. This document also further explains these considerations.IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONSOverview of ConsiderationsWhen designing multimedia materials for adult learners, the following important considerations should be submitn into account (Lieb, 1991)1) Adults are sovereign and self-directed.2) Adults have accumulated a foundation of life envisions and knowledge that whitethorn include work-related activities, family responsibilities, and previous education. Generally these are constituted values, beliefs, and opinions.3) A dults are polish lie4) Adults are relevancy oriented and practical5) Adults should be respectedOther minor factors which are non very common to all includes, low level literacy, lacking in confidence and displaying a higher level of anxiety towards academic tasks, limit problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and little or no computer-related skills.Autonomous and Self-directedAdult learners tend to be autonomous and self-directed. Thus a multimedia learning material should have the alternatives that may fit the interest of adult learners. It should not be close in options but rather acts as guide or facilitating control. Adults understructure direct themselves to specific areas of interest at a time to light upon the most efficient learning.Established Values, Beliefs, Knowledge and OpinionsAdult learners experience in life has make established values, beliefs, and opinions. Thus a multimedia learning material should take into account that new ideas and principles sho uld be explained carefully and explicitly. The explanation should connect these ideas and principles to the established values, beliefs and opinions in order for them to understand. Otherwise they might misunderstood it and think that these are not in accordance with their previous knowledge.Goal OrientedAdults are goal oriented so that they should have a purpose in every staff or chapter. The multimedia learning material should clear the objective at the start. Without a goal, adult learners tend to loose their interest because to them life experience has taught them that life is all about goals. The multimedia learning material should translate them an organized layout of the content at the start.Relevance oriented and PracticalAdult learners seek relevance of studies in their daily lives. They need to understand the practical purpose of these lessons. Thus multimedia learning materials should relate the ideas to real world scenarios where they offer a trustworthy level of use. RespectThe most important to all of this is respect. Multimedia learning materials should not try to break the respect by overdoing with jokes to ignite interest.CONCLUSIONMultimedia products should take into consideration the that adult learners are autonomous, have establish values and opinions, goal oriented, relevance oriented, practical and needs respect in order for these products to be effective.ReferencesLieb, S (1991).

My First Day Of Middle School Essay

My first day of middle school I met one of my best friends in the front of the school she had a bizarre look on her face, not the usual big smile accompany with her big brown eyes, but with she looked as though she was sc atomic number 18d. When I bring her a hug she just stood there and didnt move and pointed at her throat, she fell right in front of me and laid there gasping face at the ceiling. Everyone including me panicked and out of nowhere this big tall wangle fun in a black uniform got down and grabbed her and put his distributor point in her chest to listen to breathing According to the travel sound judgment I am enterprising, realistic, and social. I was matched with several different kinds of careers including chef, professional athlete, and a skincare specialist.However, most appealing of all of the suggested careers in my eyes would be to obtain a integrity enforcement patrolman and one day a sheriff/ jurisprudence chief. Growing up being one of the oldest in my family has pressure me to become very protective watching over two younger sisters and countless younger cousins. The sports I rescue played and excelled in including football, dawn and wrestling leave alone help me advance in that career, being that law enforcement is a very stressful job I will have to be fleshlyly and mentally fit to keep up and attain in that field.In Georgia there is an abundance of variation in police officer salaries. The variation is caused by many different factors from population, to the worldwide crime rate in that area. In Atlanta, Georgia the annual profit for a police officer can range from $35,733 to $70, 547 with a average of near $52, 498. I plan to be a police officer for at least ten years and earn a unmarried mans degree in criminal justice, while learning as much as I can about street criminals and how they operate. at once established enough I plan to become a sheriff/police chief whose annual salaries can range from $89,729 t o $112,081 with a median of around $100, 437. Salaries for police chiefs vary for the same reason as police officers. police officers right now are most needed in areas of risque crime and areas where the number of civilians heavily outweigh the number of law enforcement officers. This typify most urban areas and big cities such as Atlanta, Los Angeles, or Chicago. This is in force(p) to me because I already live near Atlanta so I can pursue this career right at home. In this career choicethere are more men than women. Today women ca-ca up about twelve percent of the law enforcement jobs. I intend this is because the physical tests are based on a male ability. The physical exams are more difficult for the women. The average track downing hours of the police are 40 hours per week but the officer can do overtime if necessary. The benefits of having this career can vary from a raise in salary, medical, dental, or even college tuition benefits, and also retirement and pension opt ions.The way to become a police officer is that you have to be a amply school graduate and must complete a police honorary society training program. Some agencies require an associates degree in criminology or criminal justice. Also when trying to be a police officer you have to have good credit because that is composition of your background knowledge check. Its also great to have a good work experience so that it can prepare you for the long hours that you will buy the farm on the job. Being physically fit is another major part of securing my career because you have to be healthy and willing to run and rebound over objects.To sustain my career and make myself marketable I will always come forth with a positive attitude and soak up the job done. I will make sure to strive for the highest of expectations and make sure I am best represented for helping the association and keeping everyone self. I indispensability to do what all law enforcement officers are here for which is to stop crime and help people. I also want to be known for having a kind heart and helping anyone in need.

Controversy Behind Qatar 2022 Bid

Qatar 2022 On 2 declination 2010 it was announced that Qatar would host the 2022 FIFA human Cup, aft(prenominal) the FIFA administrator Committee voted in a secret b altogetherot in Zurich. The governing body of Qatars successful proposal bid defeated four early(a) ignoredidates to stage the 2022 edition of the worlds greatest sporting pillow slip Australia, Korea Re unexclusive, Japan and the United States of America. Qatar, with a population of 1. 69 million spate entrust be the first Arab state to host the innovation Cup.Consequently, Qatar is the smallest nation, some(prenominal) by relative population and by argona, ever to have been awarded the tourney hosting privilege. The Qatar bid was emphasized as the only integrity representing the Arab World (which has never hosted a World Cup prior) and positioned their bid as an opportunity to duet the gap between the Arab World and the West. Their hosting of the 2006 Asian Games as well as the 2011 Asian Cup proved to l egitimize their capabilities of hosting the tournament. Further, its superior financial capabilities were unpatterned in their proposals for new stadia and infrastructure.While the decision on 2 December 2010 brought delight to Qatar, it inversely brought concern and controversy in the West. A turn of events of rival candidates, western groups and media outlets have expressed concern over the suitability of Qatar to host the event, with regard to climatic conditions, interpretations of human rights, press freedom and allegations of degeneracy. modality spend World Cup? The World Cup is traditionally held in the northern hemispheres summer. During this season in Qatar, the temperature can carry to 50 C(122F).The Qatar bids chief executive, Hassan al-Thawadi has attempted to abide fears of an unbearable environment by stating heat is not and will not be an issue and that the 2022 World Cup would benefit from state-of-the-art gentle wind cooling technologies. The Qatar 2022 Bids official site explains this Each of the fin stadiums will harness the power of the suns rays to provide a cool environment for players and fans by converting solar thrust into electricity that will then be used to cool both fans and players at the stadiums. When risques are not taking place, the solar installations at the stadia will export energy onto the power grid.During matches, the stadia will draw energy from the grid. This is the basis for the stadiums carbon-neutrality. Along with the stadiums, we political program to make the cooling technologies weve developed available to other countries in earnest climates, so that they in addition can host major sporting events. This method acting of cooling techniques is theoretically able to reduce temperatures from 50 to 27 degrees Celsius. The tender committal in addition proposes to use such cooling technologies in fan-zones, fostering pitches and walkways between metro stations and stadiums.However, the architect in charge of one of the venues has abandoned their project claiming that a more old-fashioned solution would be cheaper and better. Leading firm Populous, which is designing the Sports City stadium in Doha, is trying to persuade Qatari organizers to scrap plans to have air conditioning at the venue. Populous director John Barrow said the system is too expensive and notoriously unsustainable for the environment when used on a striking scale. Given the debate on the subject, a proposal of hosting a Winter World Cup has arisen.Backed by the likes of Blatter and Platini, the proposal suggests for the tournament to be held in January of 2022, rather than the summer. Blatter has told reporters Personally, now that the decision has been taken to have the tournament in Qatar, we must play at the most adequate extent to have a successful World Cup and to have a successful World Cup we have to do it when it is best for the actors which blendr winter. However, Mr. Blatter has failed to p rovide a solution on the effect it would have on European domestic leagues which operate in this period.There is nothing in FIFAs rules to prevent a host changing the time of stratum when a World Cup is played. It is only tradition that dictates this. And the FIFA executive committee has the authority to change any aspect of the World Cup after the decision is made. Workers Conditions Given its lack of sporting infrastructure, the disconnect state must build nine football stadiums in the following(a) ten years- and theyll be using primarily migrant labor (over 90% of Qatars workforce is made up of foreign migrant workers). divvy up union activists are now lobbying FIFA to highlight what they say are poor people working conditions in Qatar.International trade unionists say FIFA has the power to trim back decent working standards on Qatar and will campaign for the tournament to be moved unless FIFA presses for better conditions. If Qatar is unable to support the tournament on its own, Secretary-General Jerome Valcke has suggested the tournament be shared with neighboring states, such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. alcoholic beverageic drink and Homosexuality Qatar is not a dry country. Alcohol can shortly be consumed legally in a few clubs, bars, certain hotel restaurants, and the beading Island by showing your passport for reporting.Hassan Abdulla al Thawadi, chief executive of the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid, said the Muslim state would also permit alcohol consumption during the event. Specific fan-zones will be established where alcohol can be bought. Though legal with a permit, drinking in public is not permitted as Qatars legal system is based on shariahlaw. The selection of Qatar as hosts attracted controversy, ashomosexualityis illegal in Qatar. FIFA hot seatSepp Blatterstated that we (FIFA) dont want any discrimination. What we want to do is open this game to e actuallybody, and to open it to all cultures, and this is what we are doing in 2 022. Corruption Bribery shit Six members of Fifas executive committee a quarter of the rank were accused by Lord Treisman (Chairman of Englands bid) of improper and unethical deportment with two members, Issa Hayatou, of Cameroon, and Jacques Anouma, of Ivory Coast, alleged to received $1. 5 million from each one in bribes from the Qatar 2022 bid in exchange for their votes. The bribery allegations against Qatar were made in evidence fromThe Sunday Timesand published by the committee. As a result, in November 2010, two ExCo members,Reynald TemariiandAmos Adamu, were banned for one and three years respectively.Temarii was also fined 5,000 Swiss Francs, while Adamu was fined 10,000 Swiss Francs. More corruption allegations emerged in the summer of 2011. In May, ExCo member Chuck Blazer claimed fellow members Mohammed hive away Hammam and jackass Warner offered bribes for votes in the upcoming presidential election. As a result of this scandal, Bin Hammam stood down from the Jun e 2011 presidential election and FIFA later suspended both he and Jack Warner. Sepp Blatter stood unopposed and won the election with 186 out of 203 votes.Bin Hammams suspension had been met with widespread anger in the Middle East- He was afterwards banned for life in July. Warner responded to his suspension by exposing an email by Valcke in which the Secretary-General suggested Qatar had bought the right to host 2022 tournament. Valcke defended his statement, insisting he was referring to Qatar using financial muscle to lobby legitimately for votes. They were a candidate with a very important budget and used it to heavily promote their bid all around the world in a very efficient manner, he said. I have made no reference to any obtain of votes or similar unethical behaviour. Qatar 2022s bid team said they unconditionally deny any wrongdoing, and asked for clarification from FIFA on the meaning of the Valcke e-mail. Nevertheless, the scandal has increase concerns over $10 billi on of investment and development contracts related to stadiums and hotels for the World Cup in Qatar. Possibility of a Re-Vote Given the developments in corruption and bribery scandals, as well as questions concerning the Qatars capabilities of hosting the tournament effectively, at that place is a ground swell of popular support to re-hold the 2022 vote won by Qatar.Blatter has said that a FIFA inquiry into persistent and increasingly detail claims of corruption could lead to the Executive Committee (ExCo) making the unprecedented move of rerunning the vote. Blatter also conceded that support for re-running the vote was circulating around the world. much(prenominal) a move would be a monumental embarrassment to FIFA exactly that has to now be balanced with the equivalent embarrassment of more allegations leaking out.

Does violence on televison lead to violence in real life? Essay

The debate on tv effect receiver craze has been on going for more years now and has professionalduced a wide and varied set of views and inquiry results. Many well established psychologists nominate attempted, through various types of experiments and observations, to every support or negate a unite amongst fierceness on boob tube and the lurid episodes in square life.These sets of data wealthy person thrown up some interesting views and personal conclusions regarding the subject of idiot box ferocity, and we will show the varying views and conclusions that some of these psychologists have reached and by using a respected and well known system we will move to show the views of a small section of our community. Previous research into the link between military unit and television Over the years numerous psychologists have produced thousands of experiments and or research to support or negate the link between violence and television.In 1987 a psychologist named Cumber batch produced data on the actual centres of violence found to be in British television programmes. He think that 30% of the programmes contained some form of violence, with an overall frequency of 1. 14 rough acts per programme and 1. 68 violent acts per hour. Each act of violence lasted an fair 25 seconds leading to violence occupying notwithstanding over 1% of ingrained television airtime. His research showed that in 26% of violent acts death occurred, only in 61% no injuries were shown and the victim was portrayed as macrocosm in pain or stunned.In 83% of cases, no line of work was shown as a result of a violent act, and considerable inventory and gore occurred in only 0. 2% of cases. Cumberbatch also revealed that most perpetrators of violent acts were more likely to be portrayed as baddies rather than goodies, and violence occurred twice as frequently in law breaking than in law-upholding contexts. His research, although neither for or against violence on television, gives us an idea of the amount of violence on television we are exposed to.Howitt and Cumberbatch in 1974 analysed three hundred studies of television violence and its direct effect on childrens deportment, they played down the link between television violence and the childrens behaviour. A further study into the relationships between the media and violence carried fall out by Eron 1987and Phillips 1986 found a different conclusion. They concluded that a positive correlation between the amount of belligerence viewed at 8 and later aggression at 30 could be seen. George Gerbner (1989) researched television and its influences on human behaviour and said Television influences human behaviour because there are routes or mechanisms whereby the content of television can have an effect on what we do, and how we act. Thus, trip of televisions influence comes about because of how we learn (by observation and imitation), because of how we respond to certain kinds of study material (ar ousal/desensitisation), and because of the structure of our inhibitions and the way television provides the kind of stimulation needful to release them (disinhibition).I called these behavioural mechanisms, because for the most part the influence was shown on some activity (p128 The Psychology of Television) Aletha Huston (university of Kansas 1989) studied the effects of television violence on childrens behaviour and stated Children who watch violent television programmes, even just funny cartoons, were more likely to hit out at their playmates, argue, disobey class rules, leave tasks unfinished, and were less willing to postponement for things than those who watched the non violent programmes. (p 142 The Psychology of Television)We can see from the varying studies, different results and opinions of these psychologists just how hard it can be to support or negate a link between violence on television and in original life. How the questionnaires were prepared in class In a class room purlieu we produced a questionnaire on peoples opinions relating to the link between television violence and real life. The class split into small groups of three or four and discussed manageable questions to add to the questionnaire, trying to have a balance of pro television and anti television questions.The individual group questions were discussed and eight questions picked to make up the actual questionnaire, these questions consisted of four pro television and four anti television, the questions were set out so an anti television was followed by a pro television question. The obvious reason for the split into pro and anti television is to try and produce a questionnaire that will give the people winning part a non-biased set of alternate answers.

Islam’s View on Suicide Essay

Islam views sympathetic smell as a gift and something sacred that should be saved for the interest group of Allah Taala. No Islamic should put one over his or her nutriment for granted. In the Quran, Allah speaks to His following and educates them on their take aim of life And I (Allah) cr go throughed non the jinn and mankind except that they should godliness Me (Al i). (Adh-Dhariyat 56). This indicates that humans should continue reinforcement to worship their Lord. Through other verses, Islamics argon protected from death by dint of non-homogeneous forms of worship.He has forbidden you only(prenominal) the carrion (flesh of dead animals), and blood, and flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which Allahs Name has not been menti whizd whilst slaughtering). But if unity is forced by necessity without wilful disobe splitnce nor transgressing due limits, then on that point is no sin o n him. Truly, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surah Al-Baqarah 173). These forbidden foods lot only ca employment harm upon a person in the semipermanent and beca give a Islamic is forbidden to consume them. Consumption of banned substances indue only entice death.Similarly, alcohol, cig arttes and drugs ar explicitly shunned in Islam. During the one month fast of Ramadhan, Islamics give notice hunger during the day. At the end of the month, they appreciate the life that they argon prone the opportunity to live with the bounty that Allah bestows upon them. Muslims imagine that death is ordained by Allah and no person will die until his or her time is duely prescribed And no person nates ever die except by Allahs leave and at an nominate term (Imraan 145). Suicide in Islam Suicide is prohibited in Islam. As killing is prohibited in Islam, killing ones self amounts to murder.Strict warnings appear in the Quran as relayed below Do not take life, which Allah ma de sacred, other than in the move of mediocreice, (al-Israa 33) and If bothone kills a person unless it be for murder or spreading mischief in the attain it would be as if he killed the whole of humanity (al-Maidah 32) Suicide, generally, is seen as a result of cowardice. Someone who wishes for an easy way to escape from examine and connect obstruction in his or her life, sometimes entertain self-destruction. This type of prospect is frowned upon in Islam as Muslims believe that Allah would never burden a worshiper to a greater extent than he or she can bear.It is through a Muslims intellect and perseverance, coupled with a lot of faith, that he or she should continue to overcome foundationly obstacles by submitting to the Creator. More importantly though, legion(predicate) factors can carry on to felo-de-se. Among them be depression, substance abuse, own(prenominal) losses and problems, personal health and disability. (a) Depression Depression is a medical checkup condition that inescapably to be treated. A person who has an isolated and detached lifestyle including aff suitable ability, sleeping patterns, the inability to socialise, eating disorders and a dangerous aptitude of stress is most likely to fall bundle the stairs the category of depression.If this person unbosom has the ability to decide for him or herself, treatment should be sought immediately. Alternatively, friends and family who shadowed this person is entertaining thoughts of felo-de-se, must seek help from medical practitioners. prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) reminded his pursuit that Allah had not created any disease (except for cancer) without a cure for it, (Bukhari). It is therefore vital for a person worthless from depression to seek medical attention. (b) Substance abuse Substance abusers can be often allow to suicide through overdoses.Anything that harms a humans health is considered as haraam (prohibited). Substances that atomic number 18 intoxicating, such as cigarettes and alcohol cave in no gain ground to mankind. On the contrary, they are harmful to the user and those who surround him or her. sluice if this person does not overdose in the short run, steadfast habituation to either can stick cancer in the long run, a disease that does not have a cure. The same ruling applies to the use of drugs. Every intoxicant is Khamr, and every Khamr is haram, (Muslim) (c) Personal losses and problems The loss of a loved one can spark suicidal tendencies.Practicing Muslims however protrude death as part of life. The saying inna lillahi wa innalillahi rajiun implies that Muslims accept that from Allah they broach from and to Allah they will return. Muslims accept the passing of a loved one sedately with prayers for his or her happiness in the after life. Personal problems are store up in todays society. Many people are particularly burdened by mounting financial debt. This is usually due to pathetic planning of r esources. Though difficult to overcome, emerging from a financial difficulty is possible.Muslims are prohibited to leave debt when passing, so it is only wise to occur debt rather than end ones life. The first step would be to detract the element of riba (interest) from financial holdings whether they are assets or liabilities. Pay transfer all interest first. In assets such as savings accounts, remove all interest income by donating them to charity. When interest is removed, it will be easier to pay-off loans and an opportunity to start saving money will excessively unfold. Allah condemns usury, and blesses charities. Allah dislikes every disbeliever, guilty.O you who believe, you shall observe Allah and refrain from all kinds of usury, if you are believers. If you do not, then forestall a war from Allah and His messenger. But if you repent, you may keep your capitals, without inflicting injustice, or subject injustice. If the debtor is unable to pay, wait for a better time. If you give up the loan as a charity, it would be better for you, if you only knew. (Baqarah 276-280) pursue in a professional financial planning service will induce healthy spending tendencies. (d) Personal health and disability Again, Muslims are not to be disheartened by around-the-clock pain and suffering endured in life.In fact, these experiences expatiate sins. The more suffering a Muslim is subjected to during his life-span, the easier his condition will be during the hereafter. Suicide is not an option. Be certainly We shall test you with something of vexation and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who uncomplainingly persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return. They are those on whom patch up blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance. (Baqarah155-157) Patience is prescribed for Muslims undergoing undue stress. on th at point are blessings in overcoming hardship and the first step to doing this is to patiently accept the course of obstacles with determination and strength. there are cases where a patient who is enduring continuous pain, and is most probably bed-ridden, requires his or her life to be terminated. This is called euthanasia, or mercy-killing. In some cases, a family member or close friend feels that the patient will be better off deceased, and requests for his or her life to end. Muslims are disallowed from practicing euthanasia. And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you. (An-Nisa 29).Assisting a person to terminate his or her life is unlawful in Islam as this translates into assisting suicide. There are blessings in suffering and a persons life is still as valuable as it would be should he or she be perfectly healthy. A person must continue livelihood until his or her time is due. And take not life, which Allah has made sacred, except by way of justice and law, (Al-Anam 151). In a case where a person is proclaimed as brain-dead and does not feel any pain, a doctor may recommend terminating the use of the life-support machine. This machine is memory the patient alive when he or she is actually is not.If there is medical justification that there is nothing in the power of the practitioners to be able to cure the patient in question, it is tolerable for families of the patient to discontinue the use of the life-support machinery and allow nature to take its course. Suicide in the intelligence operation Suicide Bombing Suicide outpouring is synonymous with Muslim followers in the mainstream media. Suicide milling machinerys reap more attention than those who irregularly occupy countries, causing the lives of innocent civilians some in their own homes. Suicide assail entails a person killing him or herself through an explosion of a bomb.This explosion also encroaches of lives around the suicide bomber. Countries like Palestine an d Iraq have been warped with suicide bombing. Islam, no doubt, is a religion of peace, and never condones any form of violence. Having said that, Islam disallows oppression in any way. It is not permissible for a Muslim to be an oppressor nor is it allowed for him to be oppressed and remain to be oppressed without seeking options of overcoming such violation of basic repairs. A Muslim thus, is required to seek mediation and negotiation with the oppressing party, to release him, his family, his community and ground from the shackles of violence.Since Muslims are bound only by Allahs law, it is prohibited for a country to have the nations freedom curbed by an illegal invasion, all in the name of justice. Should there no means of disentangling a countrys operation from being ruled by a foreign party, Muslims sometimes do have to resort to violence in order to regain their rightful undercoat. War is allowed in Islam when a Muslim party requires to defend their land, property and fa mily. Defending a country for the sake of Islam, is mandatory upon every Muslim, man or woman. For example, in the case of Iraq, bestial sanctions are being imposed on innocent civilians of the country.There are no medical facilities to allow recovery from alien bombs and fire. Children are being killed every day. Women are sexually assaulted. Iraqis are being beaten, wrongly lag and killed by the minute. The country is constantly under attack by missiles and bombs that are released from the air. How are Muslims in this care required to fight? Suicide bombing here is reflected as a need to curb attacks upon innocent people. The Islamic Fiqh Academy affiliated to the OIC, in its fourteenth session, held in Duha (Qatar) 513 Dhul-Qidah1423 A. H., 1116 January 2003 C. E. statesThe Islamic Fiqh Academy stresses that martyr operations are a form of jihad, and carrying out those operations is a legitimate right that has nothing to do with act of terrorism or suicide. Those operations be come bounden when they become the only way to stop the aggression of the enemy, defeat it, and grievously damage its power. According to a fatwa issued by Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, deputy mountain pass of the European Council of Fatwa and Research (ECFR), not only are these suicide bombers unassociated with suicide, they are neither terrorists.In fact, these suicide bombers are k flatn as martyrs those who run a risk their lives in defense of their country, property, family, and foremost, religion. It is not befitting for a suicide bomber in this context to be condemned. Allah Taala narrates And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to (your) oddment but do good for Allah loveth those who do good, (Baqarah 195). In the case of Palestine, civilians suffer from displacement of their own kind to aggressive employment.Such occupation has been in operation for years on end. All Israeli civilians who are occupation of Palestine, are seen a s oppressors. In this case, Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi stresses that the demise of non-aggressive Israelis through suicide bombing also constitutes martyrdom and not terrorism. He continues to state that though Muslims should target military personnel over the lay-civilian, every Israeli who is living in hostility on Palestinian land should also be removed as they themselves continue to violate Muslims right to Holy land and to the Holy Masjid of Al-Aqsa.According to Sheikh Faysal, Muslims should retaliate the way they are too, being attacked, and in this case, attacked with great injustice. If ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted. (An-Nahl 126). Muslims living in the westmost Just because the Islamic Fiqh Academy defines suicide bombing as an act or martyrdom and does not associate it with terrorism or suicide, Muslims in countries that do not live under the neighborhood of war, are not entitled to exploit the ruling.Muslims are not allowed to cause harm to other people, regardless of their faith, who are not oppressing Muslim brothers or sisters. On the contrary, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, head of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR), and the president of the world-wide Association of Muslim Scholars (IAMS) advises that all Muslims are to act in copious kindness and convey the beautiful message of Islam to the best of their ability. Muslims in the West are not allowed to cause destruction in their country of residence, fifty-fifty though Muslim brothers and sisters fall victim to hands of violence.Muslims living under peaceful conditions should take full advantage to speak up on unfair dealings through interfaith dialogues, charity runs, neighbourhood gatherings and through other social events. Muslims should not resort to violence when there is none surrounding them. O you who believe Stand out firmly as Allahs witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you wind to wrong and depa rt from justice. Be just that is next to piety and fear Allah. And Allah is well acquainted with all that you do. (al-Maidah 8) This whole world is made by God.Anything that exists in this world is also made by God. We all are made by God and for God. God has made this earth on which we are living, and the sky. He sends rain to the earth. He has created different kinds of fruits for us to eat like grapes, dates, mango, banana, orange, apple, papaya, pineapple, custard apple and many more. He also created different kinds of vegetables for us to eat like onion, spinach, tomatoes, lemon, carrot, cabbage, cauliflower, ginger, garlic etc. Then He also created different kinds of meat that we eat like chicken, beef, mutton, fish etc.There are also other many different kinds of food we eat, illimitable and uncountable on this earth. Can we live without pee? It is created by our Lord. We need body of water to drink, we need water to grow vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat and other plants. We need water to cook food, we need water to clean ourselves, we need water to clean our houses, wash clothes, wash dishes and then there are much more uses of water. We on this earth cant live without water. Its a fact and we known this fact. This water is created by our God so that we can make it on this earth.That is, we cannot survive if there will be no water on this world. This means that we are really and solely subordinate on our Lord for His mercy on us, we cannot live or survive without our Lord and His mercy. Can we live without air and oxygen? It is also given to us by our Creator, our Lord. God has sent to us on this world for some purpose in life. He has created all these things and shown His mercy on us for some causality. There is some valid genuine reason for which we sent to this world. Were not created purpose less. How can we know our purpose in this life then?We can only know this by His books, He has sent to us and learning from His prophets. After sending us to this world God hasnt left us alone in darkness. From His book we know that when He expelled Adam from paradise, He told Him, Go down to earth, and some of you will be enemy of others, and you will live there for small period of time, then youll have to come back to me one day. Ill keep sending you my commandments, whoever will obey me, Ill take him to paradise, and whoever will deny me and reject my commandments, Ill reject him and take him to hell. (Al-Quran, The Cow)From these lines now we know that our purpose of existence is only and only for God. Were not only created by God but for God. He said in His book, Ive created mankind to worship me and to recognize me. (Al-Quran) God has created all these things for us on which were dependent like food, water, earth only and only to submit to our Lord. We should show our respect to God, be dutiful to Him and become His obedient. Muslims should not be overbearing upon non-Muslims and force them to understand Islam. Lecturing an d preaching to followers of other faith must always be done with tact.A more effective method of dawa would be to lead by action through constructive community projects and general amiable behaviour. Muslims who resort to suicide bombing in countries that do not support war, are not considered as martyrs. In fact, they have committed suicide and in turn, have also killed innocent civilians. Let therebe no urgency or coercion in the religion Islam. The right direction is distinctly clear from error. (Baqarah 256) cleaning other people just as a form of expression, or rather to merely make a point, is not a character of a Muslim.Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on account of religion and drove you not out from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal justly with them. Lo Allah loveth the just dealers. (Al-Mumtahanah 8) Different hadith from Prophet Mohammad (salalaho alaihay wasalam) also stresses the same view that suicide is not permit ted and extremely prohibited in Islam.References 1.
