Policing of Industrial Action in Australia Essay

Throughout history, protests in Australian have been controlled in many different ways by respective police forces. History suggests that the police in industrial disputes in Australia are not politically neutral and consistently take the side of the employer and the government. This will be critically accessed and examples will be looked at to support the fact that while traditionally police have taken the side of employers in today’s modern world the police are acting more and more as neutral bodies in industrial disputes by keeping the peace. First, the Clunes riot will be looked at in which we will see an obvious side with the employer also seen in the 1928 waterfront dispute, which will follow. The APPM dispute will then be looked at followed by the 1998 waterfront dispute and it will be seen that policing of industrial disorder has in fact changed and policed are acting more as neutral peacekeepers. The role the police in controlling unlawful behaivour on a picket line has never has been clearly defined. For the same reason, which makes courts reluctant to interfere with industrial disputes the police, have been reluctant to appear to be siding with one side or the other even in circumstances of clearly unlawful behaivour. (Willis 2000:133) In December 1873 however, armed police intervened in an industrial dispute at Lothair Mine Clunes to assist in breaking the strike. The miners had gone on strike for improved wages and working conditions. All work at the mine had stopped for fourteen weeks and the mine directors too action to break the strike by introducing Chinese labour. On December 9, five coaches loaded with Chinese miners traveled from Ballarat to Clunes with an escort of sixteen armed police (Haldane 1995:76). The convoy was met by two thousand protestors who had â€Å"erected barricades and armed themselves with brickbats†. What followed was an assault on many of the Chinese strikebreakers and a number of police officers. (Haldane 1995:76) It was later argued by the Ballarat courier (cited in Baker 1999C:5) that the Lothair directors alone should have been responsible for conveying the Chinese and should not have involved the police. According to the Ballarat Courier, Chief Commissioner Standish of the Melbourne Club was too close with the Government and the directors of company, which resulted in the use of police for the Lothair mines needs. (Ballarat Courier cited in Baker 1999C:5) The Herald (cited in Baker 2001A:28) claimed, â€Å"The duty of police is to preserve the peace and not to provoke a breach of it†. However, the police at Clunes â€Å"no only escorted the foreigners but sought to force a way for them†. The Herald argued police as spectators â€Å"are instructed under no circumstances whatsoever to appear as partisans in strikes and are told not to interfere on one side or the other until a breach of the peace is committed.† (Baker 2001A:28) In the Clunes strikes, this was definitely not the case. The Herald (cited in Baker 2001A:28) maintains that the â€Å"great mistake† of the police was they â€Å"took the law into their own hands and sought to force the men off the road† and the police should merely have used the law to punish those offenders who had placed an obstruction on the public highway. As it can be seen in the Clunes case, the police were not politically neutral and did take the side of the employer and government. This was a result of the police commissioner rumored to be in cohorts with the government and the Lothian mines themselves. An instance similar to that of the Clunes strikes was the 1928 wharf disputes. In 1928, an award was imposed by the government favourable to the industrial policy of the Federal Government but not to the workers consequently the Waterside Workers’ Federation (WWF) rejected it. By 11 September, ninety ships around the major ports lay idle. Victorian Labor Premier Hogan promised that his government â€Å"would provide every Protection† to â€Å"volunteer† workers (Baker 1999C:9). To accommodate this one hundred and fifty extra police from the country were stationed at the waterfront. (Baker 1999C:10) On 2 November, special trains transporting volunteers from Flinders Street to Station Pier, Port Melbourne, were blocked by sleepers and metal bars and objects with 2000 angry unionists waiting for their arrival. What ensued was a brutal dispute between unions and police. (Baker 1999C:10) James Morris, a unionist, persuaded the strikers to leave the pier to avoid clashes but Sub-Inspector Mossop â€Å"struck him time and time again†. Most watersiders had left the pier â€Å"but the police viciously attacked the stragglers with batons and boots†. (Age cited in Baker 1999C:10) Some of the crowd started to throw stones and police retaliated by firing into the crowd. (Baker 1999C:10). Allan Whittaker and two wounded watersiders were been shot in the back and Whittaker died because of a bullet wound to the neck inflicted by police. (Baker 1999C:11). The actions of the police that day received full government support, which meant that the actions never received any official scrutiny. (Baker 1999C:12) As it can be seen in the case of the 1928 waterfront dispute, the police were used by the government and employers to accomplish the breaking up of the dispute. This was seen with the commendation of the police actions by the government and no enquiry into police actions even after a fatality had occurred. Traditionally, as it has been seen in the Clunes riots and the 1928 waterfront dispute Australian police have readily complied in an aggressive and forceful manner to employer demands for police intervention in order to facilitate access to workplaces. Police actions have usually been â€Å"swift, decisive, uncompromising and ruthless† (Baker 1999A:40). This however was not the case at the APPM dispute and during the 1998 Waterfront. Associated Pulp and Paper Mill (APPM) dominated the industrial city of Burnie in 1992 in northwest Tasmania and was the districts largest employer of 1100 people. APPM because of a declining pulp and paper industry was taken over by North Broken Hill holding Ltd (NBH) in 1984 with its headquarters and powerbrokers mainly in Melbourne. (Baker 2002:6) Restructuring had been occurring since 1989 and for North Broken Hill-Peko, the Burnie workforce appeared too comfortable and was restructuring too slowly. (Baker 2001B:65) A dispute enthused after the directors enforced a non-union policy among other things in dealing with the workers. The police at Burnie under the direction by two senior officers Inspector Fox and Senior Sergeant Timmerman were determined to remain neutral about the dispute but this was perceived by the company as â€Å"passive and unacceptable:† (Baker 2001B:66). Fox saw his duty as foremost one of â€Å"preserving the peace in the Burnie district†. He publicly stated that his intention was to â€Å"intervene only when a disobedience of state laws made it necessary†. The Fox philosophy of policing remained consistent throughout the dispute, his believed that no industrial dispute is really a police matter. For two months, the Burnie police maintained the peace. (Baker 2001B:67) Police previously had willingly smashed pickets for NBH in Pilbara in 1986 but in the case of the APPM dispute, they took a very different approach. APPM’s industrial strategist John Guest described the police action at Burnie as weak. (Baker 2002: 9). Police resistance remove the picketers was a major obstacle to NBH-Peko reforms. Baker (2002:10) states that by failing to break the picket, police were giving â€Å"tacit support and pseudo legitimacy to union rights to organise and maintain a 24-hour picket around the mills six and a half kilometer perimeter†. On the 23 May the APPM management, in an unprecedented move served a writ of mandamus on the Tasmanian Police Commissioner. APPM management were angry that police had neglected the company’s business interests and claimed that police failed to protect public property to and to help workers who wished to go about their normal daily business. (Baker 2002:10). Forty-one people were arrested in a day of violent clashes between police and picketers on the day after Wright handed down the judgment that required the police to take action. (Collins cited in Baker 1999B:127). Baker (1999B:127) states, â€Å"The general expectation of many employers is that police will react if necessary, forcefully and repressively in order to clear picket lines†. North Broken Hill-Peko was obviously acting under this expectation when it demanded that the police break the picket lines during the APPM dispute and when this did not happen sourced alternative means to get the job done (Baker 1999B:127) As it can be seen with the APPM dispute the police were not on the side of the employer or the government, instead they supported the union in their peaceful demonstration against the APPM. This can be seen with the obvious criticism of police by the employers at APPM and the admiration of the union demonstrators. Even though the police did eventually interfere in the dispute it was as a result of a court injunction and it can be argued that if the injunction was not served the police would have probably not have interfered. It should be noted that even after the police interfered they were still respected by the media and union officials, which has not been the case in previous disputes. It was obviously seen the police were acting out of their own control in the matter in question. A similar example of non-intervention policing was seen during the Waterfront dispute between Patrick’s Stevedoring and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) .Police cooperation with the MUA started at the State Police Commissioner’s annual conference in Melbourne. Invoking police discretion the police commissioners advocated to all ranks that the low-key non-confrontational approach instead of aggressive and belligerent tactics. â€Å"Physical contact of the wharves is likely to lead to violence and perhaps serious injury to participants and police† and thus it was desired to be avoided at all costs. (Baker 1999B:137) After the Commissioner’s communiquà ¯Ã‚ ¿Ã‚ ½, there was no further attempt by police to remove picket lines around Australian ports. (Baker 1999B:137) In the maritime dispute, police command hierarchies ignored and even ignored requests from employers and the Prime Minister to take action against the MUA pickets. (Baker 1999A:40). The Australian Federal Police also declared that its members would refuse government directions to force them to act as strikebreakers on the waterfront and they would only act to keep the peace and maintain order. (Baker 2000:33) Patrick’s Chairman Chris Corrigan scorned the Police’s â€Å"inaction in the face of illegal community protest and time delaying†. (Speech 16 March 1999 cited in Baker 1999A:47). Corrigan like NBH appeared to have had the traditional assumption that if the employer demands the police intervention to clear passage that police will naturally agree without consideration of the consequences (Baker 1999A:47). Unlike the suppression of the stevedores in 1928 however, during the 1998 waterfront dispute the police were praised by union officials but criticised by the employer. Victorian Police Commissioner Comrie refused to be pushed into using excessive force. He criticised Corrigan’s view of the force and said â€Å"Business people and others should stick to their business and leader the policing strategies to us (Courier Mail cited in Baker 1999B:134). Patrick’s ultimately blamed their eventual defeat on the pickets and on police forces, which, they cla imed, had been too passive in response to picketers (McConville 2000:399) Ultimately, the negotiations between the protestors and unions compromised the traditional police culture, which meant that the employer merely needed to contact police who would clear the pickets by either persuasion or force. (Baker 1999A:46). Hubbard (2000:141) there was a determination of operational command to be seen as independent of the government. As it can be seen in the case of the waterfront dispute, the police were not on side with the employers and government and were instead bipartisan observers of the dispute and keepers of the peace. In this case, police repeatedly ignored requests from both Patrick’s and the Howard government to intervene in the dispute this may possibly have been a result of a determination to be seen as independent of the government. The bipartisan role of the police was also seen with the criticism by the employers and not by the union officials, which in past has been the case. It has been seen; historically the policing of industrial disputes has not been politically neutral as the police consistently took the side of the employer and government. This was seen with the strike at Clunes where albeit unsuccessfully the police tried to assist the employer by escorting strikebreakers into the town of Clunes. This was clearly a side with the employer. It was also seen with the 1928 wharf dispute when the aggressive and fatal actions of the police to break up the dispute was condemned by the unions and supported by the government wholeheartedly. However, in today’s modern society the policing of industrial disputes politically neutral and do not consistently take the side of employers and the government. This was seen with the APPM dispute where police tried to stay neutral in the disorder and accommodate the peaceful protest but were ultimately ordered by a court injunction to take action against the strikers. The political neutrality was also seen with the 1998 Waterfront Dispute where police were strictly against interfering even after numerous requests by government and the employer and in the end, the high court ruled in favour of the union members. Traditionally police have sided with government and the employer but as we are moving into more modern times the police force are becoming more neutral in industrial disputes only intervening when a clear breach of law had ensued.

The History of the Non-Commissioned Officer

OverviewThe origin of the non commissioned officer (NCO) developed early in the country’s history, actually before the country was a country.   In the late 1700s the mean worried about their rights of liberty and property at the hands of the English monarchy.  Ã‚   â€Å"These advocates of ‘the citizen-soldier’ called on free,   adult men of property to respond to their sense of duty, to their sense of political obligation, by serving for a period of time in the militia of their community. Thus military service, indeed, compulsory service in militias, was deemed appropriate under what has come to be known as the â€Å"consent† theory of government† (Karsten, 2001).Fisher points to a difficulty in distinguishing between commissioned officers and non commissioned officers.   He claims that it wasn’t until the early 1700s that a distinction could be made. He argues that by the Revolutionary War period, great confidence was place on the po sition of the non-commissioned officer, including the promise of some financial rewards (as high as $80) to those who made it through each designated segment of service.   However, there was still an undertone of lower status of the NCO at this particular time in American history (Fisher, 2001).Unfortunately, not everyone felt the need to serve his country in the face of all enemies.   Many founding essayists felt as if abandoning work to join in the military was an irresponsible action for husbands and sons alike.  Ã‚   Even though the American Army had the money to pay 75,000 men in 1776, it never got more than 37,500 to sign up at any one time (Karsten, 2001). Thus, the picture of the non-commissioned officer was less of a concerned and responsible citizen solder and more of a lazy, unfocused, displaced laborer.Between 1820 and 1850 the organization and training of these men was loose and unorganized.   The enrolled men met only once or twice a year for â€Å"militia mus ter and drill† as the law dictated.   â€Å"If one had ‘the common defense of the nation’ in mind when he came to view such musters, it was quickly dispelled as the day turned from muster to picnic to drunken brawl in rather too rapid succession† (Karsten, 2001).In addition to these men, the army also had a fair number of women.   Like most armies, the Continental Army included women and even their children who â€Å"followed the troops throughout the war, performing tasks that contributed to the soldiers’ welfare† (Rees, 1995).   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  In 1777, Valley Forge had 400 women enlisted in its army.   The number continued to rise and some units from areas closer to the coast had far more than average numbers of women (Rees, 1995).Training and DisciplineBlack describes training as â€Å"learning war through war†   Ã‚  (Black, 2002).   Training was generally poor or non-existent because it was very difficult to amass large numbers of people in one spot, and if they were amassed, they were nearly impossible to outfit with supplies and weapons due to the tack of transportation and supporting infrastructure. The lack of training reduced the confidence of the men to fight in certain situations, especially in the open, so they often broke ranks and ran (Black, 2002)Others disagree; Sheps and Pitcavage (1995) argue that the organization was as good as it could have possible been at that time in American history.   These state organizations had extensive codes which regulated personnel selection, training, etc.   These state organizations were hierarchical and geographical, sometimes electing officers and other times appointing them.   Further subdivisions included brigades, regiments and companies. In some states officers were elected; in others, they were appointed by the state. The entire state was usually organized into geographical divisions which then corresponded with a military division (Sheps and Pitcavage, 1995).In 1792, Anthony Wayne was one of the first great training generals for combat.   Training and discipline gradually improved through the early 1800s.   Large regiments increased confidence and better training led to more disciplined ranks. However, this training fell off in the years preceding the Civil War,   and the problems recurred for both the North and the South during the war (Black, 2002).Drills and operations slowly revived.   At the beginning of the Civil War two manuals describing the duties of the NCO had been published.   They were called Infantry Tactics by General Winfield Scott and Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics by Colonel William J. Hardee.   According to these manuals, the NCO was to keep military cadence and direction, act as general guides and to instruct new recruits.   In addition, they were to learn to give commands (Fisher, 2001)Even extremely specific instructions began to be printed.   IN addition to his two part expl ications on the care and cleaning of the musket, Alan Bowling wrote the following in his report on military drills around the time of the Civil War:â€Å"This is not meant as a criticism of anyone but as a way of standardizing our drill practices and helping the 5th look sharp at drill as from accounts I have read the original members of the Missouri Brigade were known for their sharp drill. At our recent Spring Drill I noticed there was some confusion on conducting the inspection of arms, particularly the proper way for a soldier to give and take his musket to and from the inspecting officer or NCO.† (2006).  Indeed other duties of the NCO were to make sure that all supplies, including helmets and weapons, were kept clean (Fisher, 2001).WeaponsEarly skirmishes saw the use of virtually anything as a weapon.   One example is the use of the pitchfork during Shay’s Rebellion in 1787. However, as more organized fighting progressed, aim and use of cover were more import ant than the weapons used.   The musket had only one real advantage over the bow and arrow, that being that the bow and arrow was more likely to be deflected by vegetation.   The musket was hard to repair due to a lack of equipment,   skill and experience,   and nearly all of the ammunition had to be brought from Europe (Black, 2002).The introduction of the mass produced percussion cap of the early 1800s made the rifle a little more dependable because of the reduction of misfires.   James H. Burton made an important improvement to the bullets used by theses NCOs by giving it a hollow base.   This bullet was less expensive, could be locally produced and was far more accurate than earlier bullets (Black, 2002).Developments in guns included the Union Repeating Rifle which eliminated the need to reload as often as they had to with the musket and early rifles.   The Gatling gun was one of the first machine guns, but it wasn’t utilized much prior to the Civil War beca use it ate up too much ammunition and was difficult to transport across the terrain (Black, 2002).FormationsThe early NCOs were to maintain formations that seemed more like Napoleonic warfare.   The leaders were more interested in establishing positions and destruction of the opposing army no matter where they were located.  Ã‚  Ã‚   They would often hesitate to use the bayonets and choose instead to fall back and fire from their muskets, which, as previously noted, were not at all accurate and forced the men to shoot, stop and reload over and over again. Even after the Repeating Rifle (AKA the Ager gun) appeared, the generals were reluctant to change their conservative ways and use them (Black, 2002).ConclusionThe NCO is considered the backbone of the US ARMY with two responsibilities: accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of the soldiers (NCO CREED). From its history in voluntary service in the revolutionary war to its intermediary services now, the NCO has always had a vital role in American historyReferencesBowling, Allen. (2006).

Installation of a firewall policy in a small office - home office Essay

Installation of a firewall policy in a small office - home office (SOHO) environment - Essay Example Consequentially, it has become inevitable to protect these environments from any attack. Though none can claim that a network is totally secure, advanced security measures need always be implemented. In SOHO network, to protect any external intrusion using a firewall, one can consider using either a hardware or software firewall. A hardware firewall is a digital edge device put in a network that serves to allow or disallow network transmissions. A firewall once installed, it protects a network from unauthorised access while permitting only legitimate communications to pass through the network. Most vendors of operating systems (OS) for personal computers include software-based firewall packages in the OSs to protect threats from the public Internet. Different types of firewalls can be implemented at different levels in a network but since in a SOHO environment cost implications are vastly considered, only one level of a firewall can be implemented (Briere et al., 2010). This single l evel of firewall application must be effective enough so as to ensure that any outbound communication is secure. The installation of a firewall is based upon several set of rules that play a great role in deciding the type of a firewall to employ and the overall effectiveness of it. It would an unimportant and impractically costly venture to implement a firewall policy for a large company’s network for a small office/home office network since this firewall would serve as a central offloading point for security-related activity. Through the installation of a firewall appliance in a SOHO environment, client systems can easily share Internet connections. Internet connections pose the main risk to every network whether in a shared or unshared environment. Hackers are constantly finding new ways either to create vulnerabilities in a highly secured network or even to attack any network that would have security vulnerabilities. As technology changes, application-level attacks are gr eatly advancing too. This whole situation has cause a huge tradeoff between the provision of a secure network and the cost of that provision. To secure a network especially one that has access to the Internet has proved to a challenging task to the network administrators since the more they put hard security measure both in hardware and software forms, the more attacks are being targeted and executed on their networks. This has led to the introduction of integrated firewall appliances e.g. gateways and routers, that handle both the work of data transmission and data screening at the perimeter wall. Clients in SOHO network depend a lot on emails. These emails can be outbound or inbound. Both should be screened at the firewall level to ensure that only legitimate emails are given access to the network. Emails carry attachments and security compromisers have always been bent on imitating their attacks using email attachment that contain worms, Trojans, spyware or even a malware. These embedded threats once that gain access to the network would cause undesired trouble in the stability of the network as some of them have the potential to iniatiate a denial of service attack. This attack is among the most hazardous on a network since the entire business is brought in to a halt. Another harmful attack would be the one initiated with intent

Homeland Security - Assignment Example These are mistakes caused by service provider. Employing various safeguard controls is the best way to avoid the accidental threats. Some of the best safeguarding controls that homeland security may employ include provision of resources and training. This can play a crucial part in the prevention of unintentional failures. Negligence Negligence refers to failure in complying with various set regulations, policies and procedures while carrying out various activities. In order to control negligence as one type of human threat, there is a need to employ post-incident or countermeasures controls. One of the advantages of employing countermeasures is that it is possible to identify various challenges that may tend to be the cause of negligence (Tavana, 2007). The other significant aspect associated with countermeasure control on the issue of negligence is that it is possible to assess some attribute or character that might possibly create an undue risk. Intentional Intentional or delibera te threats include both criminal and non-criminal. The non-criminal entails boycotts and blockades among others. However, the criminal ones entail sabotage, espionage, fraud, theft, terrorism among others. Another issue is that the amount of harm conducted because of intentional human threat depends on the motive of the threat (Tavana, 2007). In order to prevent the occurrence of such threats, the best kinds of control that would be most effective is the post-incident or countermeasures control (Tavana, 2007). Intentional threat tends to be very dangerous and can lead to a large number of people losing their lives. An example of a successful intentional threat is the one that occurred in 9/11 at America. One of the best methods to employ in relation to countermeasures on intentional threats is crisis management. This entails making sure that essential training is offered in order to handle any type of intentional disaster that might occur. The other issues to consider in relation to intentional threat are who, why and what would be attacked (Tavana, 2007). This gives the concerned parties an over view on what is necessary to consider and to address in order to be fully prepared for the occurrence of any kind of potential threat. Question, 2. Part 1. If you were in a debate about prioritizing risks to critical infrastructures, which of the following criteria would you argue in favor of for setting priorities? Most dangerous to life / safety and property? Most dangerous to life / safety and property is the criteria to first consider when setting priorities on risks to critical infrastructure. The well-being of all citizens ought to be the issue to offer significant concern when setting various priorities especially when prioritizing risks to critical infrastructures. This consideration also entails focusing on issues that would enhance safety of property to all citizens. Some of the human threats tend to be critical in the fact that they can cause significant ne gative impacts to the lives of the citizens. For example, various terrorism acts end up causing loss of lives and properties (Department of Homeland Security, 2007). Intentional human threats like terrorism always involve violence. The main aim of terrorism is to cause psychological impact to the affected community through loss of lives

Organizational Behavior & Leadership Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Organizational Behavior & Leadership - Essay Example Coercive power is the power of a manager to exact fear as a form of punishment or penalty for subordinates or rank and file employees who commit some forms of misdemeanors against company rules and regulations. Referent power is a particular leader’s ability to influence subordinates through charisma or certain personal attributes that the rank and file can identify with, making them quite devoted to that leader. Referent power usually makes the manager practice more affinity with his or her subordinates that would make them more of a mentor, rather than the exacting leader or manager. While this may embolden employees to emulate their heads’ or supervisors’ mild managerial approaches, it affects the way the leader is able to apply leverage in cases where disciplinary action must be enforced. And last, but not the least, is expert power which shows the manager’s cognitive ability or knowledge in a particular field making the manager the expert from whom th e employees can gain information, so they can do their particular jobs successfully (Turner, n.d. b). The marketing manager of Employee 1 uses both the legitimate power and the reward power, because Employee 1’s manager is able to require him to work forty hours and beyond a week within the legal bounds of his authority as a manager in the organization. Likewise, Employee 1’s manager utilizes his ability in motivating employees to work hard beyond their normal office hours by reminding them of the yearly bonus, which will be given to them accordingly, should they pass and get an outstanding rating on their next evaluation. And this is what propels Employee 1 to work very hard, so he can get the bonus in order to avail of his dream vacation. Aside from utilizing the legitimate power and reward power, Employee 1’s manager also employs coercive power since all the employees in the marketing department are being constantly reminded that if they want to get the hefty bonus then they must spend more working time for the company. Although punishment for not working beyond the regular hours was not mentioned in the given scenario – the employees assigned in the marketing department are not only motivated by wanting to get the bonus but also of the fact that if they did not perform well as per the pending evaluation, they silently dread any fine or penalty that may be imposed for substandard work performance. The accounting manager of Employee 2 uses the expert power because he recognizes the ability of Employee 2 who is the only certified public accountant in the accounting department of Corporation A. And since Employee 2 is the only person who can prepare the financial statements of the company, he agreed to allow him to work in a compressed work week schedule of four days a week; so long as the expected work output is realized within the given time frame allowed by the organization. Employee 3, on the other hand, has a very positive and charismatic personality that often makes people like him. Employee 3 was made a team leader because he also has the innate ability to influence others with his ideas; they, at first, seemed sceptical to his way of thinking but at the end totally agreed with him. Employee 3 has the knack of referent power, which can inspire others to think like he does, despite the fact that he has been employed within Corporation A for only a short period of time

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTas coherent and strategic management Essay

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTas coherent and strategic management - Essay Example The term 'human resource,' first emerged in 1950's, coined by Peter Druker in one of his seminars and traces back to organisational development and human capital theory. HRM is controversial and debatable surrounded by great academic diversity. Confusion is caused because of the 'ambiguous pedigree' of the concept (Noon, 1992). There is a lack of clarity, the term can be viewed as being broad. HRM is a concept regarded as being enigmatic / obscure due to ideological, empirical and theoretical reasons and in many cases because of micro politics (Storey, 1992). Difficulties in defining HRM and the lack of a universally accepted definition implies that HRM is an innovation that takes on the meaning of whatever the person speaking at the time wants it to be (Torrington, 1989). Questions arise over the existence of HRM (Armstrong, 2000), over its meaning and status; is HRM a 'map,' 'model' or 'theory' (Noon, 1992) and of whether it is distinct from the traditional rhetoric of personnel an d industrial relations management. ... However, there must also be something extra if HRM is to be considered as a new innovative approach. Distinction by integration similarly leads to debate as integration is viewed differently. Again, lack of clarity leads back to the thought of HRM being whatever an organisation wants it to be. There is an apparent scale in operation which takes into account hard and soft HRM. Hard versions of HRM place emphasis on: "Strategic interventions to secure full utilisation of labour resources" (Worsfold, 1999, 340). This type of people management may be expected within the manufacturing industry, on the production line which is product and profit driven rather than service. Whereas soft versions of HRM emphasise: "Strategic interventions for commitment and development" (Worsfold, 1999, 340). Soft HRM would appear to be more synonymous with service industries, where the product is generally intangible, customers often receive an experience provided by the 'human resource,' thus commitment is sought. The human resource is perhaps more valuable, their impact greater and they may not be as easily replaced as perhaps a production operative in the manufacturing industry. Hard HRM relates back to the human relations movement from where personnel management can claim some of its origins and presents workers as a commodity, a resource to be exploited: "to be used dispassionately and in a formal rational manner" (Storey, 1992, 26). Hard HRM reflects the capitalist tradition, operating against workers' interests with no significance regarded to their well being, exploitation being paternalist and benevolent (Guest, 1999). "Essentially workers are simply resources to be squeezed and disposed of as business

Reflection paper - Assignment Example on which is using an existing schema to deal with new circumstances, accommodation which happens when current knowledge does not work and has to be adjusted and equilibration which occur when child schemas can deal with most new information through assimilation. An example of adaptation in my scenario is when my two-year-old niece saw my tablet for the first time and referred to it as a computer. In this occurrence, I explained to her that it’s not a computer though it looks like one therefore she was able to adjust with the new information (Wadsworth, 2004). Assimilation and accommodation require an active learner, not a passive one, as a teacher one should concentrate on a child thinking rather than result because it encourages problem-solving skills rather than trained. Paget’s theory also reinforce teachings should be accomplished by encouraging discovery for themselves rather than direct training. A teacher can also use this information and, use energetic methods that necessitate reconstructing of truths, encourage shared as well as individual activities. He or she can create disequilibrium in order to accommodate new information, arrange situations that present real-life problems and evaluate the level of child development so that you can go at his or her pace. More mature activities should be discouraged as it will confuse the children. On the first stage sensory –motor occurs between birth and two years. Children begin to understand the information they are receiving through their senses in particular, when reflex m ovement become more developed. Understanding of the world around them involves only the perceptions and things which the baby has already experienced for instance sucking on a nipple when hungry or reaching for an already familiar toy.

When they are around eight months they begin to look for objects hidden, for instance, a

Prosecuting Violators of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Essay

Prosecuting Violators of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law; and The Merits and Limitations of the International Criminal Court (ICC) - Essay Example The researcher states that although international jurists may not agree entirely with this argument, an actual discontent should go with an examination of theoretical perspectives which are believed to offer answers to these stubborn issues. Apparently, humanitarian and human rights law do not provide simple solutions as to how to deal with violations of the fundamental human rights of people in times of crisis. They embody judicious efforts to implement norms which ideally will become unanimously recognized and support the international community in its assessment of, and response, to these crimes. The international community has been triumphant in establishing an agreement on numerous norms in the areas of humanitarian and human rights law. There is at present a solid set of laws, even though it evidently does not cater to every crisis or include every region. This code of rules will be raised to change as the problems confronting the international community assume new forms. Certa inly, the implementation of the Statute of the International Criminal Court is a sign of the pace at which several sectors of international law are evolving. ... The primary purpose of the formation of an international criminal court was to change a tradition of immunity for the perpetration of severe crimes, which has thrived and remains in existence significantly, with a tradition of liability. The formation of an international criminal court is in several contexts the finale of a chain of international attempts in such path. Nevertheless, those attempts have usually been unsuccessful for different causes, and, at any rate, have been greatly discriminating. The Tokyo and Nuremberg Tribunals, after the Second World War, expressed genuine confidence for the tradition of liability, but the facts of the cold war aftermath immediately surfaced. The idea that individuals and states perpetrating the most serious violations of human rights law should be prosecuted disappeared, and a tradi tion of immunity resurfaced. The discourse about the competence of international committees should be situated in a more enduring point of view. The influence of newly formed institutions like the informal committees cannot justly be weighed against that of established organizations like the International Court of Justice (ICG) and the Security Council (SC).

Children under 12 Should not Be Introduced to the Internet Essay

Children under 12 Should not Be Introduced to the Internet - Essay Example For this reason, researchers and scholars have not hesitated to state that the internet has become an integral part of the contemporary world. However, science and technology comes at a cost (Staples, 2008, p. 288). The internet causes more harm than benefit to children. Efforts to control activities and content of the internet to children have proved futile since the internet does not belong to any company or state. This paper delineates the dangers that internet poses to children both in social and academic activities. It discovers the risks associated with unsupervised internet use by children. Conspicuous chat rooms, instant messaging and explicit contents are the intermediates that make smooth the progress of the fundamental issues and problems within this topic. In addition, this paper discusses the role of the parents in ensuring their children’s safety in the internet. Unsupervised access to the internet by children under the age of 12 exposes the child to a world of d etrimental dangers that are both physically and psychologically abusive (Livingstone, 2009, p. 23). Arguably, the content in the internet posses a higher danger and risk to children than movies, music and television. Chat rooms and social media have become the areas of interest in exploring the risks exposed to children. In the recent past, cases of abduction, murders and physical and sexual abuses on children have been on the increase. National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (2005, p. 2) has linked the internet as the major cause of these evils. The report notes that 89 percent of sexual solicitations or approaches occur in the internet annually and that 29 percent of all the children who use the internet have been sexually victimized. In addition, the report suggests that 31 percent of girl children have been sexually harassed in a chat room. Debatably, National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (2005, p.13) reported in a research, that more than 4 million child ren between the age of 7 and 17 who use the internet have a higher probability of giving out their home address and their email addresses. It has been reported that 29 percent of all the children under the age of 12 who use the internet would give out their home address if asked while 14 percent would give out their email address if requested (National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, 2005, p. 14). This has been the primary contributor of child abductions and murders. Reports indicate that children have opted to turn to the internet where their social life cannot be known by their parents. The internet permits private and real time conversations. This has made children succeed in safeguarding and protecting their social life from scrutiny by the parents and adults (Staples, 2008, p. 288). However, this has had more harm than benefit. Children spend a lot f time in the internet and are disconnected from the societal happenings that have for long equipped adolescents into ad ult hood (Strasburger & Wilson, 2002, p. 134). Though researches have portrayed the internet as a revolutionary method of supplementing people’s social lives and civic connections, it has replaced head to head connections with friends and family members. For this reason, the internet has left the youths with no social skills. Staples (2008, p. 289) notes that they

Critical and Post-Modern Organization Theory Essay

Critical and Post-Modern Organization Theory - Essay Example They state that Critical Theory strives hard to liberate and enslave human beings through transformation of various conditions and circumstances. This theory also aids in descriptive and normative base in social inquiry where it seeks to reduce command and power, and increase freedom in all respective manners. Critical theories have gone through different historical phases and have passed several generations (Fellunga, 2002). Critical theory has set its aims, methods, theories, and explanations in both natural and social sciences and thus this theory is extended to ethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of history. Furthermore, critical theorists argue that enterprises do not have a practical approach in instrumental sense, but rather they have a keen interest in the moral sense. They do not strive to achieve some independent goal but instead they seek human liberation in coercion, repression, and domination. While the formulation of materialism stated, that critical theory has all the rights to function within the boundaries of division of labor. But within this scenario, philosophy normative stance has the right to condemn the ethics, principles and embodiment of reason (Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy, 2005). On the other hand, post modern theory or post modernism has been derived after modernism but both these terms have a wide distinction among each other. Modernism is concerned with identity, unity, authority, and certainty while post modernism reflects difference, separation, textuality, and skepticism. Post modernism originated from architecture and covered two main theories; deconstruction and post structuralism. This theory is used not only in art-related fields but it also assists in marketing & business, law and culture fields. Basically post modernism are those group of critics who are inspired by the postmodern culture in which they live

Qualities Important in Becoming an Officer in the United States Army Essay Example for Free

Qualities Important in Becoming an Officer in the United States Army Essay I don’t believe anyone could argue that it takes a good amount of leadership in order to become a successful United States Military Academy cadet, as well as an officer in the United States Army. This is almost certainly one of the first things someone would look for in a strong officer. A strong leader can impact his soldiers in various ways. If your soldiers don’t stand behind you, and don’t have faith in you, they are more prone to disagree with or disobey your orders. Aside from leadership, a USMA cadet should be able to easily demonstrate confidence. What good is an officer who knows what must be done, but cannot effectively stand in front of his soldiers and tell them what needs to be done? As an officer in the Army, there will be numerous times where you will need to speak to groups of soldiers of varying sizes. Whether it’s something as simple as giving a safety brief, or something more important such as a mission briefing, you will need to have confidence in yourself in order to accomplish this. A USMA cadet should also have integrity, which happens to be one of the seven army values as well. I define integrity as doing the right thing, even when you think no one is watching. Lacking integrity in the civilian world is one thing, however in the military it is incredibly more dangerous as it could result in the death of fellow soldiers or even yourself. For example if you’re on guard for the night and decide that you would rather catch up on your sleep, you are endangering yourself along with all your battle buddies. A successful Army officer is also going to benefit from having a willingness to learn. Although West Point will have done it’s very best to prepare you for the duties of an officer, there is only so much you can learn from a classroom environment. While a brand new 2nd Lieutenant Platoon Leader may outrank a Sergeant First Class, there is still a vast amount of knowledge that the new Lieutenant can pick up from that E7. In my short time in the Army I have noticed that the young Lieutenants are almost always willing to take advice from their senior noncommissioned officers. Another important quality in an Army officer is bravery. Even if you are not serving in a combat MOS, you never know when you will be required to be brave You also need to have the courage to stand up for what you believe in, and for what you know to be right. Another quality that will keep your soldiers on your side is loyalty. If you can’t stay loyal to your soldiers, they will not have as much motivation to stay loyal to you. That also ties into the obvious loyalty to your country that is required of any military member. There are so many integral qualities and morals that are required of an officer in the Army. Unfortunately I am restricted with the length of this essay, but I have tried to highlight what I believe to be some of the most important values that should be deep inside all officers. Without values and morals your character will most likely be lacking and who would want to follow you at that point?

Marks Spencers Internationalization Ventures and Failures

Marks Spencers Internationalization Ventures and Failures Introduction For years, successful businesses have sought to increase their share of the markets by expanding their operations and by making their products and services available to a larger percentage of customers. Expansion is normally attained on two different levels, namely, local expansion and internationalization. Globalization, and the benefits that can be sought from it, has encouraged businesses to focus more on internationalization strategies as a means of expansion while ensuring that their local footing is firm and not marred by competition or other local issues. Marks Spencer, for one, has been trying time and again to expand its business internationally not only through franchising but also by opening retail stores (retail internationalization) in the most promising of all international markets. A look into the history of Marks Spencers internationalization ventures shows nothing but failure in almost all of its foreign markets leading the company to either exit these markets or p artially selling off its stores (Kollewe 2010). The report throws light on the issues faced by Marks Spencer in the past and also focuses on its current position in order to analyze the newly developed strategies for internationalization, whether or not it is worth the risk. It then follows with possible recommendations for the senior management of Marks Spencer while ending with a conclusion that, keeping in mind the present scenario, recommends whether or not the new strategies for internationalization are worth pursuing and investing capital in to help the company regain its market value and achieve growth. Marks Spencers Internationalization ventures and failures Over the years, Marks and Spencer has faced rocky business ventures in most of the foreign lands where it decided to expand its business. Marks Spencer has opened retail stores and franchises in many countries of Europe and also expanded its business to Canada and America. These ventures, however, did not prove to be as successful as was hoped by the companys management because they were seen as more of a distraction than benefit. The management at MS believed that these low-profit global ventures were making the management lose its focus on UK, the primary market of MS. The company has, therefore, been forced to resort to exit from the some of the markets and partial pullouts from others by closing or selling off 38 of its stores all around Europe under its desire to revamp its stores in Britain in an attempt to shift focus to the retail business of UK and its British customers. These pullouts have resulted in serious damage to the brand image of Marks Spencer as the company perfo rmed brutal overnight layoffs and thus causing widespread anger among employees and customers. These unannounced and abrupt pullouts caused displeasure among MSs loyal customers as they felt betrayed by the company for not being informed about its withdrawal from their markets. This deed of Marks and Spencer is going to cost it employee and customer loyalty in the future, if ever it wishes to step into these markets again. Employees would consider twice before accepting a job at MS while customers too would find it hard to rely completely on the brand. One of the major problems with Marks Spencers earlier ventures, as spotted by Bolland, was that it tried getting into too many markets at the same time without actually completing its entry into one market. It simply shifted its attention from one country to another in an attempt to capture more market share than paying attention towards maintaining a firm grip on the markets share captured already (Holmes 2009). This therefore resulted in less profitability and lower revenues causing the company to withdraw eventually. Current internationalization strategy Marks Spencers new Chief Executive, Marc Bolland, has set new strategies for the internationalization of MS. A new wave of international ventures has thus been planned in an attempt to restore the companys position in Europe and to reach out to the markets of Asia. Marc Bollands strategy of selective internationalization includes stepping carefully into international markets in order to avoid recurrence of failures that the company faced in the past. He has therefore, proposed India and China as the markets in Asia where he would introduce MS (Roy 2008). For this, he has advised a selected approach wherein only markets that promise a higher profitability would be tapped and there will be more franchises than company-owned stores. Marks Spencer has planned on entering India by partnering with the countrys Reliance Group while for China, Bolland has clearly stated that it would proceed to, and focus on Shanghai rather than the whole of China as China is, according to him, a group of multicultural countries that neither shares a same language nor a similar view on style (The richest 2011). The management has been advised by Bolland to make use of Chinese knowledge when establishing the companys presence in China. Bolland has also advised a combination of bricks and clicks in their new internationalization strategy due to which the company would open one flagship store in the capital, a few stores in major shopping malls while the rest of the operations would be taken online as these markets have high internet density and online shopping is not an alien concept for the people of these markets. The company has also planned on moving into Egypt by opening its very first store in the country. A combination of bricks and clicks has not been emphasized upon as internet has not yet gained much popularity in the country thus rendering too much dependence on online business useless. Egypt will not be, however, discussed in this report as the main focus of this report is internationalization with respect to India and China. The new internationalization strategies adopted by Marks Spencer seem very promising and indicate higher profitability and customer shares than the previous strategies adopted by the company. India and China are, indeed, densely populated countries where the rich have high purchasing powers and are more aware of and interested in international brands than most countries of Asia. These countries are also host to a high number of foreign travelers that would help the company gain more in terms of sales and revenues. Conclusion The new plans of international expansion undertaken by Marks Spencer are a series of carefully calculated steps that the company decides to take in order to prevent itself from stepping into the quicksand of failure. The company should, again, try to expand its business internationally so as to increase its business operations. Globalization is an important factor that successful companies should consider as it helps them gain recognition by people all around the world. It is about time that Marks Spencer starts focusing on internationalization as a means of expansion to avoid being forced out of the market by competitors. By moving into the markets of India and Shanghai, MS has not only targeted two of the most densely populated countries of Asia but also two of the largest economies in emerging markets. Investment decisions in these two countries hold a promising future for MS that would not only be promising but also stable. The consumer market of India is also a highly adaptable market. People of these markets are easily influenced and are more prone to shift towards international brands regardless of how expensive their products are. The market of India has adopted the concept of westernization more rapidly and it has gives higher preference to international brands than local brands. China too holds better future prospects as it has now become the second largest economy of the world (BBC, 2011). India ranks as the fifth largest economy in terms of PPP GDP (CIA World Factbook, 2011). Hence the company should proceed with internationalization. Recommendations Even though the market of Asia is greatly influenced by western culture, it is also inclined towards its own regional culture and traditions. In order to gain greater popularity among customers, MS should introduce a line of traditional wear in whichever region it is targeting to operate in. Choosing regional brand ambassadors instead of international celebrities would help them gain popularity faster and even increase their brand equity and credibility. This would highlight the regional emphasis in the brand more. Clothes should be stitched keeping in mind the size definitions of the region being operated in and not simply introducing apparel with UK based sizes. MS should opt for test marketing by opening only a flagship store first to see how well the markets respond to the idea of MS in their country rather than investing heavily all at once. Adopting cultures of the regions or sectors MS is operating in will enhance brand loyalty. The company should also merge into accessories and home apparels market for the sector. Giving options under a single brand increases the likelihood of equity and attraction of customers which will directly effect on the brand and sales. Since China and India are emerging markets, MS should focus more on the middle-class segments of these markets.

A Revolution of the Distressed Essay -- Shining Path Peru Peruvian His

A Revolution of the Distressed   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  The world today is faced with many obstacles concerning all the peoples of the world. The issues range from globalization to the state of the environment with every political, economic, and human interest lying in between. It is these human interests that will be brought to light by examining the revolutions of the Incan indigenous beginning in the early part of the twentieth century. Running parallel to their North American neighbors, the native peoples of Peru have lived in seriously impecunious conditions as the result of ethno racial discrimination handed them by their colonial occupiers; Spanish speakers. These revolutions, namely Shining Path, would eventually define the gap between the rich and the poor, the 1st and 3rd worlds, and those peoples struggling with the effects of a traditional world falling into the hands of modernity. Unfortunately Shining Path, the dominant revolutionary organization, would be widely regarded as a terrorist organization as op posed to a liberation movement. This negative attitude toward Shining Path can be directly attributed to their misrepresentation of these native peoples and also to their style of warfare which has made Shining Path the great example of an ideology gone astray; leaving the hopes of its followers and the fate of the Peruvian people in the dust and rubble of its destructive wake. While the constituents of left and right wing political parties would battle each other for both power and affect throughout the first half of the twentieth century, neither end of the ideological spectrum would effectively bring about change in regard to the interests of the native Peruvian peoples. This is due largely in part to the marginalization of left wing parties as a result of their own military weakness and also the outright indifference on the part of conservatives to make serious, or even arbitrary, reforms to early constitutions. The reign of President Augusto B. Leguia came to define the first thirty years of Peruvian politics in the twentieth century. Leguia ruled as a typical right winger; his economic plans overwhelmingly benefited the states oligarchic class, leaving action in the interest of the native Incan populations to a minimum.

Computer Professionals :: Essays Papers

Computer Professionals Computer consulting is one of the important if not the most important job of our time. Computers are the future whether we like it or not. Some people dislike computers, because of the complications it takes to understand the basics. Computers are not exactly the easiest tools to work with, but they are the most rewarding, and they are the future. Future cars will all be run by computer. You will be able to talk to a car and it will take you to your destination. Telephones are technically computerized. You will soon be able to talk to a person on the telephone as well as look at the person you are talking to on a television set. Also television is computerized. Soon we will have true three dimensional television. We will be able to watch television like we never have watched it before. We will be able to touch the characters, and feel the characters like they were in the room with you. For people who don't know much about computers, you will be lost in the future. You should learn what you can while you still have the chance, because things will develop to quickly for you and you will not be able to cope with new technological events. Computer consulting is a job, I have chosen long before the advances of technology. And now it has paid off. I now have a business of my own, working as a computer consultant. I assist others in learning about computers to be able to operate more efficently in their everyday jobs. Computers will fall into careers and our everyday life more rapidly then you think. Perhaps you would like to be a teacher. You will store all class data, students work, names, grades, records all accessible by computer. Or, how about a doctor. You will use computers to examine and evaluate a patients problem quicker and more efficiently. These are only a few examples. The bottom line is, computers provide worthwhile careers. Having a job that involves computers, in terms of the conditions, is very much similar to any office job. In most of the common jobs, the worker will get to an office in the morning, sit at a desk, in front of a computer, and will do very little manual labor except a lot of typing. For example, the computer consultant we have already mentioned, might

the title of Vijay Tendulkars SILENCE THE COURT IS IN SESSION :: essays research papers

SILENCE THE COURT IS IN SESSION 1) TITLE- The original title of the play is SHANTATA! COURT CHALU AHE. The words of the title are very common in law courts where the honourable judges pronounce the words to bring back order and decorum if the parties concerned or the mob present in the court become unruly or create chaos and commotion. In other words the very words SILENCE THE COURT IS IN SESSION indicate the absolute authority of the judge in the court room to decide upon the manners of others. The judge has also the final authority to pronounce contempt of court in case of breach of discipline. In a civilized society the court system is in vogue for the sake of justice. The judiciary is considered to be one of the four main pillars of democracy. In the present play Vijay Tendulkar chooses a term of judicial register as the title of his play to make a powerful comment on a society with a heavy patriarchal bias that makes justice impossible and that converts the august judicial system into an instrument of oppression of women and the vulnerable. Ideally justice can be provided only if the judge and the judicial system are objectively detached. But the same objective detachment can become the face of a very repressive and dehumanized system if the persons involved in the process of justice are themselves devoid of human value and compassion. In the present play we find how Benare becomes the victim of sadism of his male counterparts. The audience is made to witness a mere enactment of what is a rehearsal of sorts of a mock-trial to be staged later in the day. But what begins as a harmless game begins to assume a grim aspect before long. At first all the characters vie to be the accused in the mock-trial. Then, on Sukhatme’s suggestion they decide to make Benare the accused. It is notable that Benare is allotted the role of accused in her absence. As soon as Benare enters the room singing, and wiping her face on the towel, she is caught unaware by Ponkshe,†Miss Leela Benare , you have been arrested on suspicion of a crime of an extremely grave nature, and brought as a prisoner before the bar of this court.† Kashikar, assuming the role of the judge accuses Benare of the crime of infanticide. The way Benare is made the accused without her consent shows the functioning of the patriarchal system.

“A Rose For Emily” by Willam Failkner Essay

In the story â€Å"A Rose for Emily† by William Faulkner, the use of foreshadowing is used truly conspicuously. To foreshadow is to provide advanced indications to a future event or discovery.. The extremely strong dank scent about Ms. Emily’s house, the second floor of this residence being locked and the discovery of the iron grey hair, all are strong foreshadowing incidents that achieve this surprising and strong but also believable ending. Faulkner use of foreshadowing is used ingeniously to achieve a shocking and powerful yet certain ending Ms. Emily lived in a white, square, seventies style house that is now rundown, un maintained, rotting and decaying. The inside of the house was said to smell like â€Å"dust and disuse – a close, dank smell.† Yet the scent smelt by 3 different neighbors was stronger than this, the stench was so rotten that it traveled into neighboring homes. As one neighbor complained and described the smell she said â€Å"†¦ they were not surprised when the smell developed. It was another link between the gross, teeming world and the high and mighty Griersons.† Faulkner was trying to develop a scent so strong that it could only be that of a dead body. As Ms. Emily’s husband, Homer Barron had gone unseen ever since they were married, it foreshadows to the discovery of his dead body in the house. The foreshadowing helps to bring certainty and believability to the ending of this story. Ms. Emily was occasionally seen through windows in her home sometimes on the second floor and sometimes on the main floor. As Ms. Emily grew old she started only to be seen on the main floor of her house, not ever on the second. People who would watch the house said â€Å"†¦she had evidently shut up the top floor of the house†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Faulkner wanted to make the reader wonder why the second floor was locked and not used. What could Ms. Emily be trying to hide? This is a development in the foreshadowing of the scent in the house, as this foreshadows the discovery of Homer Barron’s dead body locked away, upstairs in Ms. Emily’s house. Again this foreshadowing strengthens the certainty and believability to the ending of this story. As Ms. Emily grew old, her hair turned gray. Her hair was described as â€Å"pepper-and-salt-iron-gray.† The eventual death of Ms. Emily would end the  mystery of her life that all of the society had once wondered about. After her funeral and her burial, the town’s people broke down the locked upstairs door. Found was the deceased and decaying body of Homer Barron, but more closely on the pillow beside where his body laid, an indentation of a head and some strands of hair. The hair was shockingly described as â€Å"†¦a long strand of iron-gray hair.† All of Faulkner’s foreshadowing lead to this point, where the story came together. This hair foreshadows the untold part of the story, where Ms. Emily had kept Homer Barron’s body after he had died and had been sleeping with the body. This foreshadowing is extremely strong and serious as it is un-realistic in our ‘normal’ society. Through the helpful foreshadowing events that lead to a strong and serious example, one can see how the use of foreshadowing brings about a cunning and serious yet a truthful ending. The use of foreshadowing can have a strong impact on story’s and novel’s it can change predictions, alter thoughts on characters and could leave an impression on the reader. In today’s ‘normal’ society this discovery in the story would mostly be seen as a weariness, but to the ‘macabre’ society this story may have been interpreted differently and would possibly appear normal to them.

Implant tractable ID chips in newborn babies Essay

Our confederacys idea to enter compliant ID seconds in newborn babies offers a r ontogenesisist approach to inwardnessively combat the full(prenominal) incidences of abductions of newborns and pip-squeakren, a menace against which eve law forces argon finding themselves helpless. Once the potato speckle is placed within children, their each front line brush off be so-and-sovasd to ex dallyitude development the GPRS technology, making their abduction and subsequent hiding a practically impossible task.Apart from this, these IDs would act as a database for these children, containing their relevant medical examination exam, physiological and personal details, with provisions of changeless upgrades. and then doctors assumes to only access childrens ID to know their history of previous medical complications and c ar forments, police officers can easily trace p bents of a lost child and p atomic number 18nts can keep constant vigil on the movement of their children even from their workplace.However, there are many exacting complications in self-made rollout of this idea. It can be safely faux that this concept would coiffure chthonic staring(a) moral, good, and religious c mark off through the wide gentlemans gentleman. Many, if not all, would form organizations and international groups to contemplate on social and legal platforms against our intent to tag man infants, and doubts would be raised(a) on even our integrity, commitment and sanity.Moreover, the contrive of designion and condemnation is likely to come from our confess scientific intelligentsia, religious and sacred gurus, intellectuals and correspondent eminent personalities. These estimated objections and criticism are hardly a surprising possibility, accustomed worlds historical blaspheming against e really(prenominal) new scientific innovation or discovery, any path- bearing medicinal technology, or even against any idea that appeared opposite word to its set of framed ideas and concepts.History is generous with evidences that from the time of Archimedes to modern day geezerhood of cloning, people have al elbow rooms approached any major scientific and technical find with skepticism, incredulity and to a greater extent than often, downright hostility. We can see how strong the sentiments ran when Copernicus presented the theory that its insolate that is at half focusing of solar system, and not moon and that world is sphere shaped, against what world had been led to believe (Hall, 1954).Later Galileo was busted by Roman Church on the same have sex. We provided see the way almost entire educated Hesperian society rose against Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution through natural selection and the strict social and religious criticism he was takeed to (Hall, 1954). Even Einstein, one of the greatest human brains of all times, was not spared from hostile criticism and rejection when he denied the existence of gravity in his general theory of relativity (Hawkins, 1988).technical innovations and many scientific inventions were treated with similar aggressive denial and denunciation. Whether it was construction of railroad locomotives, invention of telegraphs and telephones, constructions of dams, introduction of vaccination techniques, advent of contraceptive pills, gene therapy or subject of cloning and stem cell research, a significant section of society forever and a day protested and rejected the concept on embarrassment of supposedly ethical and moral gravel (Thomas, 2005).It is futile to say that each of these innovations contributed to further advancement and growth of human society. The discernment of this persistent fear of new technological innovations is that they defy and sometimes even break the existing concepts, perceptions and notions. Often these concepts and perceptions are implant part of a social culture, and therefrom their rejection is construed as a planned bang by sc ientists and technicians on the very creative activity of the culture (Lyne, 2005).We cannot flippantly dismiss their fears, and look out on their arguments just because they happen to contradict our idea. Instead, we need to reach out to people, address their all(prenominal) valid question and dispel their remotest of the doubts cogitate to implant of IDs in newborn babies. My own understanding of the issue says that we should move onwards with project because when people are presented with discerning arguments and valid answers to their queries, their gravest arguments turns in staunchest of the support.Indeed, one of their setoff objections we are likely to face is ethical as well as medical propriety of inserting an unnecessary foreign object in the fragile body of a newborn. But as we maintain, this implant is do for childrens own security and safety. Further, the rubbish is in particular designed in much(prenominal) a way that its implant would cause minimum distres s for child and the implant can be done by any surgeon through a very superficial incision.The presence or location of the chip may very well remain unknown to child unless specifically told. Of course, implanting a foreign object in human body in itself is no more an ethical issue, especially after advent of pacemakers and artificial limbs. kind of a valid query may concern the possible radiation effect of the chip on childs developing body, and whether that this radiation would impede or in any way exchange hormonal or chemical while of the growing child.But as our retell lab tests and years of experiments have shown, the chip does not interfere with human bio- chemical growth in any way. It corset in the body like a neutral object, deactivated unless recalled for. Even upon activation, the signals emitted by chip are no more baneful than the fields of electromagnetic radiation adjoin us every second of our life. The last(a) debate around our proposed chip would center o n moral and ethical issue of tagging children. Is it right to tag children like animals are tagged in zoo and effort and then observed?Further, when these children grow up, they cogency become uncomfortable with the idea of creation watched or remotely tracked for their every movement, and may very likely treat this an infringement of their privacy. But in my opinion, these objections are specious, and deviating from our main issue- that of stopping crime and providing a safe and secure world for children. Parents, and ulterior on Children, may be apt(p) the option to remove or manually deactivate the chip, when they start to feel that it is more a burden than as a benefit.However, for that time that it is there, it is the best way to ensure infants are secure, safe and sound under their parents, physicians and teachers constant observation. It is the best way to completely scorn the threat of organized abduction industry, and certainly it is the surest way to ensure that no c hild goes every lost or missing. I would ingeminate therefore we should confidently move forrard with this revolutionary idea and usher in the new era of human-technology integration.

Macduff conform tos a polar map in the fly the coop he suspiciouss Macbeth of regicide and in conclusion bolt d possesss Macbeth in the last(a) act. He is the of import antagonist, heretofore the hero, in the diddle. The credit is premier base kn receive from Chronica Gentis Scotorum (late fourteenth century) and Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland (early fifteenth century). Shakespeare move more often than non from Holinsheds Chronicles (1587). Al metergh reference workized sporadically through with(predicate)out the tend, Macduff serves as a baffle to Macbeth, a frame of honorableity, and an doer to the track d induces go for excommunication of wo homophilehood. OriginThe boilersuit plat that would serve as the l angiotensin-converting enzyme(prenominal) whentocks for Macbeth is starting line go acrossn in the literary full treatment of both chroniclers of economical history, earth-closet of Fordun, whose prose Chronica Gentis Scotorum was begun al some 1363 and Andrew of Wyntouns Scots euphony Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland, pen no in front than 1420. These served as the solid ground for the trace granted in Holinsheds Chronicles (1587), on whose countersign reports of manly crowned head intelligence operation plum duff and w orld force out Dun rouse Shakespeare in check establish Macbeth. Macduff world-class come ins in Holinsheds narrative of big businessman Dun outhouse after on Macbeth has killed the monarch and reigned as queer of Scotland for 10 years.When Macbeth calls upon his nobles to nominate to the construction of Dunsinane citadel, Macduff avoids the summons, arousing Macbeths suspicions. Macduff cash in ones chipss Scotland for England to turn over Dun brooks son, Malcolm, into victorious the economical john by force. Meanwhile, Macbeth murders Macduffs family. Malcolm, Macduff, and the position forces bump into on Macbeth, and Macduff kills him. 1 Shakespeare follows Holinsheds broadside of Macduff closely, with his al unmatchable deviations creation Macduffs stripping of Dun put ups automobile trunk in 2. 3, and Macduffs skeleton concourse with Ross in 2. 4.Historically, the kin Macduff was the to the highest degree coercive family in Fife in the mediaeval age s. 2 The ruins of Macduffs citadel untruth in easternmost Wemyss cemetery. post in the typify Macduff first speaks in the adopt in 2. 3 when he discovers the stiff of big businessman Duncan in Macbeths castle. He raises an alarm, ma mightiness known the castle that the king has been murdered. Macduff begins to suspect Macbeth of regicide when Macbeth says, O, except I do abye me of my petulance / That I did kill them (2. 3. 103-104). Interestingly, Macduffs name does non appear in this sen epochnt sort of, Banquo refers to him as in effect(p) Duff (2. 3. 75). In 2. Macbeth has unexpended for Scone, the antediluvian patriarch purplish metropolis where stinting kings were crowned. Macduff, compressedwhile, meets with Ross and an grizzly Man. He reveals that he ordaining not be attendance the enthronement of Macbeth and will kind of make to his bag in Fife. However, Macduff flees to England to center Malcolm, the hit pouf Duncans older son, and convinces him to allow for birth Macduff (Macbeth) to Scotland and take away the throne. Macbeth, meanwhile, visits the triad Witches again afterwards the tone of Banquo appears at the proud banquet. The Witches censure Macbeth to mind Macduff, watch the Thane of Fife (4. 1. 87-88).Furthermore, they allege him that, The baron of man, for no(prenominal) of fair sex natural / Shall ill-use Macbeth (4. 1. 96-97). Macbeth, fearing for his authority as power of Scotland, orders the finishs of Macduffs married cleaning lady, children and relatives. Macduff, who is placid in England, learns of his familys deaths through Ross, other economical thane. He joins Malcolm, and they pay back to Scotland with their face consort to baptistry Macbeth at Dunsinane Castle. subsequently Macbeth slays the youth Siward, Macduff confronts Macbeth. Although Macbeth believes that he cannot be killed by all man natural(p)(p) of a wo man, he in brief learns that Macduff was from his nonpluss uterus / inopportune ripped (5. 10. 15-16). The ii fence, and Macduff slays Macbeth off compass point. Macduff in the long run presents Macbeths head to Malcolm, hailing him as king and rollicraft on the other thanes to carry their committedness with him (5. 11. 20-25). 2 abbreviation Macduff as a stay to Macbeth As a livelihood character, Macduff serves as a flub to Macbeth his fairness straightaway cables with Macbeths virtuous perversion. 3 In an reciprocation among the Scottish thane Lennox and other lord, Lennox dialog of Macduffs pip to England and refers to him as few saintly ideal (3. 6. 6) who whitethorn briefly rejoin to this our wretched uncouth / downstairs a hand execrate (3. 6. 48-49). The hearten positions the characters of Macduff and Macbeth as blessed versus evil. The contrast amid Macduff and Macbeth is accentuated by their approaches to death. Macduff, hear of his familys death, reacts with a anguished grief. His d ustup, nevertheless I must(prenominal) withal thumb it as a man (4. 3. 223), head a potentiality for turned on(p) aesthesia. eon Macbeth and noblewoman Macbeth put forward that humankind implies a self-denial of touch perception (1. 7. 45-57), Macduff insists that worked up attainment and sensitivity are embark on of what it marrow to be a man.This recital is attendant by Macduffs respond upon his stripping of Duncans mud and the skirt of Macduffs speech when Macbeth responds to the news of bird Macbeths death. Macduff struggles to make the lecture to speak his rage and anguish, crying, O abomination, horror, horror (2. 3. 59). In most stage interpretations, Macduffs character transitions from a estate of dis may to one of wild alarm. 4 This contrasts starkly with Macbeths celebrated reply to the proclamation of his wifes death She should grant died future tense / in that respect would harbour been a time for such a word / Tomorrow, and t omorrow, and tomorrow (5. . 17-19). Macbeths words bet to expressage a reprehensible phlegmshe would create died in any caseand peradventure til now imply that he has incapacitated the energy to feel. Macduff as a example bet Although Macduff comes to hold lull for a lineament of good in the disastrous world of Macbeth, Shakespeare in like manner allows for some unstableness in his character. This becomes most straightforward in 4. 3 when Macduff joins Malcolm in England. In this cyclorama, the prevail has travel from the whirl in Scotland to England. In the switch over surrounded by the both Scotsmen, Malcolm is clearly in engage and forces Macduff to attend and root with himself his own moral code.In a import of hammy irony, Macduff begins the communication press Malcolm to fight for Scotland or else than to grieve, not learned that Malcolm has al gety set for English military support (4. 3. 134-136). Malcolm manipulates Macduff, challenge his loyalty, facilitating his emotional responses, and scrutiny to checker how untold Macduffs, and perhaps the auditions, morals can lastly be com declared. Malcolm portrays Macbeth as a tyrant, but he positions himself, too, as mortal virtuously repulsive. 4 He describes his own luxuriancethe deep cisterna of his crave (4. 3. 4)and staunchless cupidity (4. 3. 79). Macduff must settle whether he can evaluate Malcolm as an choice to Macbeth. He does not give this answer until the net prognosis, addressing Malcolm, do manlike monarch (5. 6. 20). By this point, however, Malcolm has abjured / The taints and blames I situated upon myself, / For strangers to my disposition(4. 3. 125-127). This shows that rather than sermon truthfully somewhat himself, Malcolm was simply examen Macduff to see where Macduffs loyalties were. Therefore, Macduff is advanced in judge Malcolm Macduff (Macbeth) as king. Macduff may withal be read as a trumpeter for respectable philosophy . 5 Macduffs flight of stairs from Scotland is a phantasmal reawakening, with spirituality establish somewhat the truth, disregardless of what it may be. Macduff forever reexamines his value. In conclusiveness making to decease his family, Macduff deserts those values and pays shrilly for it. Macduff echoes sentiments of writers such as Plato and the later doubting Thomas Hobbes, who margin call that ethical motive may only be judged to the conclusion that a soul takes responsibility for his or her actions. Thus, because he accepts the pack of his decision to leave his family for semipolitical exploration, Macduffs actions can be justified. 5 3 Macbeth and the hallucination of feminine powerOne of the themes that the short-change Macbeth wrestles with is the birth between male picture and feminine influence. The play explores the fancy of a feminine or paternal(p) power as comfortably as the desire of an overleap from this influence. 6 feminineness is to be feared and reviled, and to a trustworthy extent, the play works to come upon womanhood and touch on sovereign male or paternal power. However, the play alike exposes the impossibility of the reverie of lordly masculinity. afterwards Macbeth hits much of his pauperization from the Witches comprehend promise of invincibility that no man natural(p) of woman can kill him.He interprets the omen to mean he is spotless by femininity, as if femininity were the descent of vulnerability. 6 Macbeth believes in his own invulnerability, claiming, I jade a charmed life, which must not apply / To one of woman born (Act V, scene 8). However, Macduff, born via cesarian section, exposes this vision as a fallacy. He replies to Macbeth hopelessness thy charm, / And let the angel whom thou still hast served / allege thee, Macduff was from his set outs uterus / premature ripped (Act V, scene 8).Though he may not go been of a woman born in the stuffy aesthesis (thus fulfil ling the prophecy), Macduff ultimately instaurationates from woman, maintain that he was from his begets womb. If, as Macbeth believes, true(a) manhood cannot derive from or be sully by femininity, so Macduffs very(prenominal) humans basically counters this idea.
