When I was a little child, I remember being very proud of the fact that I had a father. It may seem funny, but lots of my friends envied me, as they lived in single-parent families, raised by their mothers.

At those times my father, who worked most of the day, was a huge kind creature for me, who brought me toys and pencils, and took me high in the air.

Now I understand that my Dad, like many other men, was just afraid of little kids. He didn’t realize what would he do with a small kid, so he brought me presents and played with me sometimes.

But when he realized that I was able to understand what he was saying, everything changed. He took me to the long walks in the park near our house in the evenings, and on his days off, and answered my endless questions about trees, sun, dogs, and benches, he took me to the museums where substantial ancient animals lived, and to the Zoo, to show me their descendants alive.

1. The first work of art is a graffiti peace retrieved from the gallery PerfectDefect site, one of the largest online databases of this kind of art. The formal elements of the work are easier to analyze than its content because of the obscurity of the message. This work of art is composed of strong lines. The depicted letters are placed in a one-point linear perspective, with the vanishing point located somewhere in the background of the picture, with a diagonal recession. The artist uses light and dark to accentuate the shape of the letters, placing the source of light in the background and above. The graffiti includes for the most part analogous color schemes, concentrating on blue and green colors. The texture of the letters has a smooth surface quality.

The current speech was designed to speak about violence against women. The reason for choosing this topic is that violence against women remains one of the burning problems of the modern day, and should be addressed as soon as possible. Thought violence against women exists in many countries; the example of Pakistan will discuss this issue.

Despite the fact that the majority of countries have passed the laws assuring that men and women are equal and have equal rights, it happens that in certain countries women seem to have no rights at all.

There have been many international organizations established to eliminate the violence against women; however, there are a lot of proofs that evidence about the high rate of such violence in Pakistan as well as other countries.

Study of philosophy has acquainted me with a list of thinkers whose contributions have produced an impression on my mind.

In this list, Socrates and Augustine of Hippo stand out from the rest.

Socrates impressed me with the Socratic method of inquiry also called Socratic Dialogue. Using this method, two people try to answer a question using their powers of reflection and asking some questions that will reveal the truth based on their reason and understanding. This method, in my mind, contrasts sharply with the modern empirical approaches that try to answer a question based on exploration of the world using scientific methods. It is interesting to note that people in Ancient Greece were willing to spend their time on reasoning and how they relied on their understanding to clarify the features of the universe. Finally, his call “Know thyself” is topical for any human being willing to engage in self-discovery. Continue reading “Essay on Philosophers and Their Influence”

Both have their arguments and are sure in their righteousness. At the same time, both sides agree that Clinton became one of the most influential political figures in the history of the US and probably in the whole world.

“Historians are beginning to categorize Mr. Clinton as a politician of splendid natural talent and some significant accomplishments, who nonetheless missed the greatness that once seemed within his grasp” (Edwards, 1998). Continue reading “Essay about Bill Clinton and His Success”

In
the contemporary world, technologies progress so rapidly that they create new opportunities for entering new segments of the market. In this respect, mass media, television, IT and Internet turn to be probably the most attractive fields for investments due to the possibility of high revenues resulting from implementation of new technologies and offering new services and products to customers. In such a situation it is particularly noteworthy that television which is entirely a constant domain is submitted to quite serious changes which are getting more and more critical in recent years.

Obviously, one of the most successful companies operating in this segment of the market is TiVo which offered customers new services in the late 1990s. As a result, the company became a leader in the industry, being unique and practically deprived of any competition at first stages of its development. However, the recent years have revealed a dangerous trend of a gradual decline of the company’s revenues and subscriptions that indicate at approaching problems if not to say crisis TiVo may face in the nearest future.

In such a situation, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze the reasons for the deterioration of the position of TiVo and find possible positioning strategies which could improve the situation for the company. Continue reading “Positioning and Branding Essay”

With
the mergers and takeovers abundant in corporate news, there are also those that have not yet happened but are largely speculated upon. One such merger is the one between Apple, a high-tech company that sprung from manufacturing of computers, and Nintendo, a Japanese video games maker. The combined company could easily attain a market capitalization of over 0 billion, presenting a formidable threat to Sony and Microsoft, its main rivals. Critics point out that Apple Computers could take a hit with the large competition in the PC market and a possible rise in virus output for Mackintosh, which would be bad for Nintendo. However, after the merger, the talented staff at Nintendo could get hold of Apple’ sizeable financial resources to implement their ideas. This paper will map out an appropriate change process for this situation, prepare contingency strategies, and analyze the role of HR in the process.

The Change Process Model
While there are a variety of change process models, to analyze the proposed change, we will base our proposal on the stepped model found in Randall (2004) and the merger plan developed by Adolph & Hoynes (2002): Continue reading “HR and Change Management Essay”

Under the word “disease” or “illness,” the doctors mean a detour from the norm. So it is understandable: if a man has a lack of insulin, so he has diabetes; too much cholesterin (or cholesterol)– heart attack is possible. But what is a norm for a concrete person? All people are different in age, sex, weight, stature, constitution. Are not these differences normal? Some people have the heart on the right side. Is it a terrible disease? So norms should be taken into account in the majority of cases. That is why we will not be frightened, sensing the reaction on the virus with high temperature and thirst, as it just means that our immune system works without a hitch. Certainly, a detour from the norm is ground to pay attention to your health.

There were many events at my workplace where conflict had arisen. An instance where conflict had affected the whole team was shortly after I started working for the company and during a time where my branch was preparing for a branch audit.
