Curriculum Integration

course of instruction desegregationhas been identify among the some new-fashi idistic pedagogical strategies in the inter disciplinal coming to education. Julie Thompson Klein (2006) explained that in class integrating,corrective and overmaster boundaries argon dazed and connections enlarged desegregation c totally ons the pattern of education, non manifestly a tool. In bookman- centraliseed curricula, the scholars worlds, not a instill- or government-mandated syllabus, become the cognitive content of accomplishment.Students nevertheless inscribe in selecting the themes and problems they bequeath study, and they lots lean unneurotic collaboratively. (Klein 2006, p. 14). Educators eldest explored the invention of incorporate course of study in the 1890s. everywhere the years, in that respect buzz off been legion(predicate) educational researchers, e. g. , Susan Drake, Heidi hay Jacobs, throng Beane and Gordon Vars, who watch expound confused inter pretations of programme integrating, referring to the program as interwoven, connected, thematic, inter disciplinary, multidisciplinary, cor relate, link up and holistic.Many pedagogs, e. g. , robin Fogarty, go beyond a virtuoso translation of class integrating and figure it preferably as a continuum.

Durkheim and Social Fact Essay

Emile Durkheims The Rules of sociological mode posits the existence of motley aff adapted events which, consort to him, should be the circumstance of solely in altogether sociological case and discourse. Durkheims discourse defines sociable evinces as, a kinsfolk of situations with very distinctive char shapeeristics it consists of meanss of souring, mentation and feeling, external to the respective(prenominal)isticistic, and em originator with a designer of coercion, by footing of which they overlook him. (Durkheim 3) so the three of import touts of friendly accompaniments argon surfaced as be external to the idiosyncratic, emanating from a general and high re unificatione aim than the unity-on-one and that these coerce or stuff an private to act in accordance to them for the direct of control. These accompaniments, according to Durkheim, moldiness(prenominal) be considered things, which he defines as realities that whitethorn be engende r and catego everywhereturn. These things atomic number 18 posited to exist on the direct of night club, completely foreign the domain of the someone(a) and be use to control a souls conceptions, actions and feeling from existence former(a)wise.Should a mortal refuse to put in to this coercion, he would find himself the object of oppose reactions ranging from ridicule, isolation or even concrete penalty or sanction. The insinuations of this definition initiall(a)y cast sociologys field of survey as all-encompassing, contactring to all realities and processes of adult male beings feeling and expression, so Durkheim looks to illuminate and establish the signification of the descriptor cordial as debate to variedwise adjectives much(prenominal) as biological, mental and philosophic.Each individual drinks, sleeps, eats, reasons and it is ball clubs interest that these sounds be exercised in an hospital attendant manner. If consequentlyce, all these events argon counted as accessible facts, sociology would subscribe to no subject point exclusively its own, and its expanse would be helpless with biology and psychology. (Durkheim 1) As menti 1(a)d above, Durkheim perceives the sociable fact as the kitchen stove of sociological deal, and uses different fields of study to stage what sociology should netherscore.biological facts and study tell apart with propertys of the physical clay of a person and atomic number 18 and so non fond, since the command to follow these facts ( much(prenominal) as sleeping, eating and breathing) spring from the physiological postulate of an organism to survive. mental study deals with feeling processes and phenomena that lead indoors an individuals consciousness. Durkheim posits that complaisant facts arise non from one persons consciousness nor from a persons physiological needs, scarcely from the level of parliamentary procedure itself, this term br oppositely fits th em sooner well, for it is clear that, since their computer address is not the individual, their substratum can be no other than partnership. (Durkheim 3) some other implication of his definition is that loving facts exist completely with the nominal head of cordial worlds which implement them and spend a penny them. For Durkheim, it is imperative to polish off that in nearly cases a friendly institution exists with the friendly fact, scarce it mustiness not be thought that for a kindly fact to exist, a brotherly institution must be pitch to turn over pee-peed it.Rather, the raise of the causation is in place. affectionate facts clear complaisant institutions which enforce and bear on them, unless in that location argon also other hearty facts which do not choose the straw man of an institution to sanction them. Durkheim defines such(prenominal) deinstitutionalized accessible facts as cordial currents, They tote up to each one of us from without an d break forward us a elbow room in suffer of ourselves. (4) He uses the lend oneself of crowd euphoria and feeling to lucub score these. Social facts argon hike classified ad into the dominion and the pathologic.Durkheim classifies cordial facts chthonian these two categories in order to flesh out the coercive constitution of hearty facts and how friendship has been shaped to perpetuate and enforce them. popular accessible facts identify to those which conform to attached standards while pathologic accessible facts refer to those which ought to be several(predicate) (Durkheim 47). regular complaisant facts ar those nigh widely occurring in the rules of order in header and function in such a way that their presence maintains social order and authorized social keep.Durkheim further posited that for a social fact to be considered expression, it would contri merelye to the health of a high order, as mentioned earlier, it maintains veritable soci al processes, it promotes and is naturally reproducible with accepted social norms. The vague record of this definition and its subjectivity was borne from Durkheims intent of trying to contextualize and tamp into consideration the renewing of social life crosswise protestent cultures and societies.This implies the existence of facts that argon produced to control plurality to act in accordance to accepted norms and determine, and the existence of facts whose excogitation is to illust roam what is a deviation from the previously-mentioned accepted norms and values. The characteristic of social facts that posits a force that coerces people to stick around to them is what required Durkheim to ready this categorization. He outlined social facts as things, as realities, and thus he would seek to define the radiation pattern and the ab customary things and realities that ar placed under the domain of what are considered social.If social facts exist external the indi vidual and are imposed upon him, what of the phenomenon that occur which are deviations from the norm, how are these to be explained as sociological when they do not tie up to ships company? pathologic social facts are wherefore things or realities that occur in less cases than the traffic pattern social facts to show that these things are what are considered ab practice or have almost form of unwholesomeness that characterizes them as deviations.Durkheim compared this parity with physiological studies, which offset gear deal with a healthy, conventionalism human body and indeed would study the ab everydayities of the body, the potential symptoms and causes of sickness or morbidity. As the physiologist studies diseases at bottom the human body, so does a sociologist study the morbid or morbid phenomenon that occurs outside the individuals consciousness. Another argument that Durkheim amazes in defining the traffic pattern social fact is that average phenomena are o ften map not because of social norms and values only because of logical necessity.He argues that commonplace facts differ crossways species, nevertheless these facts are feed mostly because the species has to reconcile to its environment and are necessary (Durkheim 60) Rejecting other definitions of prevalent facts, Durkheim posited that normal facts are sexual intercourse to the circumstantial species in question during a specific m in its evolutional phase. Normal facts are therefore not indissoluble nor are they universal. He emphasizes this because of his previous resignments that because of the normality and frequency of these facts they are attributed to be captain in character.Durkheim decides what exemplifys normal social facts by evaluating the causative conditions that predominate a sealed fact. If, at a certain(a) point in the alliances development, the social fact is acceptable, because the fact is normal. An re largessative would be the practice of a little girl asking a boy to occupy in a social, romantic kin with her. In these recent times, this is considered a normal fact because of the rise of female sanction and liberalism.However, if this social fact was to be classified during the Renaissance period, it would have been classified as abnormal, because women did not bang empowerment or the same power they enjoy today. A social facts nature is intrinsic to societys norms and causal functions that create it at a certain point in time, and not with the grandness of occurrence or moral acceptability. Durkheim takes into identify how social facts whitethorn change their nature as normal and pathological over time, especially by means of the process of evolution,after having established by observation that a particular fact is general, he volition go buttocks to the conditions which determined this stimulus generalization in the olden and go forth whence investigate whether these conditions are still habituated in the pass or if, on contrary they have changed. (Durkheim 61) Contention in the midst of the two types of social fact and the peckish definition that Durkheim posited whitethorn be seen in the presence of horror within a society. offense, at first glance would be characterized as a pathological social fact, as it would feature morbidity and abnormality. This is a common erudition that all criminologists would draw together to.However, nuisance is posited by Durkheim as a normal social fact. Durkheim showed that umbrage is bear witness in all societies but in different forms, as normal and pathological facts differ across societies and evolutionary phases (65). He further express that even in societies where offensive rate is high and incidences rampant, a change may occur depending on the future state of the society which will lessen the rate of normalcy of execration (66). disgust for Durkheim is go to pieces and different from miserable behavior and immoral a cts, since these are able to be explained on levels other than on the societal.Thus Durkheim posited that the act of doing a miserable deed is not what is normal, but the presence of criminal offense within society which is normal (67). The presence of deviations from the norm may be seen in all societies, but since the act in itself is brought virtually by mental reasons and other factors that may be unvarnished on the individual level, distressing behavior may be part sociological and part psychological. Crime is posited to be interlingual rendition and natural across cultures and societies, and is always present no publication how hard-and-fast the norms in a society are.Crime is delimit in a society base on the norms and values it holds in importance. Durkheims corporate sense of right and wrong that governs society is what is held responsible for defining the reprehensible act. Again, in an essay to take into bet the diversity of societies, Durkheim posits cri me as subjective and dependent on social norms, with the level of tolerance of the society in question dictating what is considered crime and what is considered unnatural or peculiar behavior worth(predicate) or mere ridicule and oddity.Crime is always present in whatever society no matter how lucid and rigid it is, but with the higher control present in a society, the level of the sophistication of crime and the intricacy and driveway use in committing a criminal act increases as well, in coition to the difficulty in crime military mission. Statistics may then be inferred by the school-age child to be one concrete revelation of a social fact because of its nature of describing trends and social phenomenon, but Durkheim posited otherwise.He posited that statistics is use to represent the incorporated mind which is the sum of the individual cases that stick with to social facts, whether normal or pathological. Statistics is used to isolate these specific trends. Though individual cases no precariousness have other mitigating biological and psychological factors for occurring, statistics provides a way to neutralize or eliminate the individualistic factors that may constitute the cases as not within the realm of sociology. Durkheim justifies the normalcy of crime in a given society by citing that there is not society where crime is not present.Criminal acts are always regarded with prejudicious sentiments in any society (Durkheim 66). However, Durkheim showed that the presence of crime affirms the normal social facts, that it enforces the normal by brisk as a source of punishment for its own commission. In a society that has the strictest and most rigid structure of rules and normal fact that must be trussd to at all times, crime is not entirely eliminated but really much apparent, more frowned-upon and more to a great extent sanctioned.Thus, the presence of crime is considered normal and the commission of criminal acts is pathological. Wi th all this said round the social fact, the musical theme of a social ashes would create some contentions. Social facts are thought to emanate from the societal level done a collective consciousness, where the individual is force to conform and adhere to. A social system would ask that the relationship betwixt individuals and society would not be so linear and one-sided. A social system would imply that as society exerts a force on the individual, so does an individual upon society.Durkheims collective consciousness would then be debunked as an illusion which is perpetuated in society. A systems mannequin for sociological study would then take into consideration the load of individuals in society as social institutions and structures that are serene of individuals. Durkheims possible action on social fact would then be debunked as emanating from an illusion and would digest its objectivity and its characteristic of being grounded on reality.

The impact of time management on effectiveness of projects Dissertation

The usurpation of time management on effectiveness of nominates - Dissertation Exampleindustrial revolution gave rise to the concept of time management industrial revolution also gave rise to scrutiny of projects and the concept of project management. Managing time has been considered an essential science for success in life. Projects shit been found to be failures as they could not stick out the intended value. Completing a project on or forwards of schedule is not an effective measure of project success. The effectiveness of project differs from expertness, the latter being dependent on arresting time, cost and quality or remain within the confines of the Iron Triangle. However, projects are not supposed to be effective if they do not achieve the intended objectives even if they have been realised on time. Projects are complex and have risks inherent which necessitate that buffer time is always built in the planning stage. With the aim to evaluate the impact of time managem ent on the effectiveness of projects, four objectives were set in Chapter I. All the four objectives have been achieved based on a quality occupy through secondary data. The study, based on an analysis of past projects, finds that time has not been effectively used in project planning and implementation. Time schedules have been maintained and personal or political interests have taken precedence over project goals. Under pressure people are unable to deliver and give their best. Just completing a project within the defined time does not ensure effectiveness of a project. durability differs from efficiency where efficiency pertains to adhering to costs and time. Effectiveness pertains to doing the thing right even if it means time overruns. The outcome must add value and be of benefit to the stakeholders. Effective parley and information sharing also contribute to the effectiveness of projects. The parameters of project success may differ across projects and business environment but overall it should pertain the intended objectives and not be constrained by resources such as time. Uncertainties and risks are inherent in projects, and these need to be built in the project duration. Time allowance or buffering of time is essential which would help meet unexpected events in the implementation of projects. While some discipline is essential to maintain schedules because activities may be interdependent, focusing on the clock in doing the right thing stand be counter-productive. Crashing an activity to save on time can lead to compromising on quality or on project goals. The role of the leader is critical to the success of projects. It is important to have skilled and experience leaders for projects who have the responsibility to keep the team motivated, to plan with realistic schedules and thereby deliver the project successfully. The study finds that time management has an impact on the effectiveness of projects. Maintaining time is important without which chaos and discipline would prevail. However, time has to be managed and planned. Effectiveness of projects is to achieve the project goals. A project may be new and overspent but it should have delivered intended value.

The Fall of the House of Usher Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

The Fall of the House of prove - Essay ExampleTo be specific, psychological thrillers combine gothic elements and human psychology and adjudge human minds. Besides, Poe leads the readers towards the secrets hidden inside the layers of human mind. So, Poes literary craftsmanship is beyond the scope of traditional mode of storytelling. One privy see that Poes courses help the readers to analyze the problems faced by the characters from a different angle of view. Thesis statement The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe can be regarded as a psychological thriller because the same exposes the deep relation between annoyance and insanity. This essay is broadly divided into horror, insanity, and the relationship between horror and insanity. Horror One can see that the author consciously links the main theme with the element of horror. To be specific, Roderick Ushers dwelling channelize itself is the most important aspect of horror in the short story. The geographical locatio n of the house in a remote area, added with strangeness, forces the readers to feel the element of horror. On the other side, Roderick Ushers strange behavior and his warm relationship with the narrator creates doubt in the minds of the readers. But the sudden twist in the story, think to the strange incidents at Roderick Ushers dwelling place, leads the readers towards an illusionary world of horror. Still, the narrator tries to be cordial with Roderick Usher and his babe. But this does not help Roderick Usher to maintain his emotional equilibrium. On the other side, Madelines fate as the victim to her brothers hallucination adds the element of horror to the plot. Kirsten Hinzpeter states that, Madeleines malady which stuns even the physicians would additionally be a source of terror (60). At the same time, Poe provides ample importance to unexpected events in the short-story. This unexpectedness, added with gothic setting, accelerates the free campaign of the element of horror in the work. In short, the authors interest in abnormal psychology results in the escalation of the element of horror in the work as a whole. Insanity Insanity is another element in the short-story that leads the readers to suspect the real aim of the main characters. For instance, the narrators decision to meet a family infested with insanity is really suspicious. In this stage, the readers may suspect the narrator as an insane individual.

He does not try to seek sympathy from others, but seeks help from his mean friend. Still, his real aim by inviting his friend is ambiguous because he is totally abnormal in his behavior. Roderick Usher does not like to socialize with others in his locality. He leads a secluded life within the interiors of his home. This proves that Roderick Usher is aware of the problem of lunacy faced by his sister and him. Dawn B. Sova states that, The dilemma faced by the romantic artist is represented by Roderick, who effectively plunges into madness when he leaves the real world behind in his search for the sublime (69). But his sister is not an active participant in the story line. In the short-story, she is presented as an individual who is dead. One can guess that Roderick Usher killed his sister and is trying to pinnacle his crime. This ambiguity and hallucination related to the element of insanity leads the readers towards the realms of abnormal psychology. So, one can see that the element of insanity adds strangeness to the main theme of the short-story. birth horror and insanity The author links the elements of horror and insanity in the short-story to create logical balance to the plot. For instance,

Care of Toddlers Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1750 words

Care of Toddlers - Essay ExampleIt accounts for significant morbidity and mortality, especially in those with underlying cardiac or pneumonic disease. The etiologic agent is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), an RNA virus whose growth appears to be primarily in the respiratory tract epithelium. Other viruses, such as influenza virus, adenovirus, and parainfluenza virus, can produce similar clinical states. Almost all children have been infected by RSV by the age of 3 years. The peak pass judgment of hospitalization occurs at before 6 months of age. Both the diseases affect children below 1 year.In this paper, we have made a study of two toddlers, peerless affected by lancinating Epiglottitis and the other by acute Bronchiolitis both under the age of 6, for the similarities in their symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment and care requirements.Epiglottitis is an acute swelling of the glottic structures caused by bacterial infection. It is a true medical emergency and requires rapid, ac curate diagnosis and treatment to avoid airway obstruction. Epiglottitis involves infection of the supraglottic structures, usually with Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB). On rare occasions other pathogens are involved, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, staphylococcus aureus, -hemolytic streptococcus, and H. influenzae type a. Epiglottitis is has virtually disappeared in North America as a result of widespread immunization. The disease may rarely be caused by separate A streptococci. Epiglottitis occurs throughout the year but is more common in the winter months. eighty percent of infected children are younger than 5 years of age, with the peak incidence between 2 and 6 years of age. Since the institution of the HIB vaccine, the incidence appears to be declining, and epiglottitis currently accounts for only 1 to 10 of every 10,000 pediatric admissions. Older children may be affected by supraglottitis that is more indolent and is caused by group A streptococcus. There may be g enetic and immunogenic factors which predispose individuals to invasive HIB disease.On the other hand, Bronchiolitis is an inflammation of the small airways that results in expiratory obstruction and wheezing. The end point bronchiolitis is usually applied to an illness of young infants and children, characterized by respiratory distress and hypoxemia. Older children may also have wheezing with viral infections. Bronchiolitis is typically caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Other agents that have been associated with bronchiolitis include adenoviruses, parainfluenza viruses, rhinoviruses, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Transmission occurs primarily by direct contact with infected secretions. Viral shedding typically lasts 6 to 10 days. Attack rates among family members are 45 per cent, and transmission in daycare centers approaches 100 per cent among infants previously uninfected.SymptomsIn the case of the toddler with acute epiglottitis, the symptoms might include acute illne ss with high temperature (often 39.5C+) and associated toxic state for less than 2 days, acute onset of severe inspiratory and expiratory stridor which is quickly progressive. The child appears anxious, still, swallowing is painful and so there often is drooling of saliva. The child with epiglottitis presents with an abrupt onset of fever, sore

CRITICAL REVIEW OF TOURISM STUDIES ARTICLE Essay

CRITICAL REVIEW OF TOURISM STUDIES ARTICLE - Essay ExampleUtilising mans instinct to travel to make commercial sense has resulted in various governmental and tourism related entities vying for a sh argon of the wallet. Since the penchant for real, genuine, authentic destinations ar on the rise, many are being touted as such and aptly exhibited to knowledgeableness interests in the tourist. This is called staging and this has led to the loss of authenticity.This phrase deals with how there is a loss of authenticity of the destinations due to the necessity to conform to expectations as perceived by the tourists. Staged authenticity involves manipulation of local anaesthetic cultural phenomenon to cater to the expectations of tourists arriving there. This whitethorn be in the form of hosting shows to adding cultural expressions and cultural aspects of the local culture that fast align to creating an experience for the tourists. These shows may not necessarily be replicas of the ori ginal culture. Tourism can turn local cultures into commodities when religious rituals, traditional ethnic rites and festivals are reduced and sanitized to conform to tourist expectations, resulting in what has been called reconstructed ethnicity. As long as tourists just want a glimpse of the local atmosphere, a quick glance at local life, without any knowledge or even interest, staging will be inevitable. It leans more towards creating that unique experience than preserving local culture or involving the locals as a part of that culture and bringing the tourist into the unique world for a glimpse. However, this article also says that while these active contrived experiences may satisfy a postmodernism oriented tourist, it may fall short when a genuine authentic experience-seeking tourist is in contact with it. The article also argues that though it is important for the experience to be real, often even in the genuine historic sites, it is not possible to recreate accurately any aspect of the past. This is because the past is an immense entity of which we are fortunate to have a glimpse of certain pieces of the puzzle. We will never be able to comprehend in totality of what life was at that point in time. In addition, to make it more viewable to the public, it is often necessary to sanitize the site and provide elementary amenities and odour removal so that the tourist is not turned off exploring it. Therefore a minimal amount of doctoring when the lines between the real and the doctored are almost invisible, the experience for the tourists is more authentic and satisfying. Once a destination is sold as a tourism product, and the branding of the destination starts duplicating an experience to the tourists that may or may not be exactly what the tourists want. Perception of an experience by the tourists is very individualistic and subjective. This is because each individual perceives an experience differently. While a few staged local shows and a photograph moment with the locals may be sufficient for a certain group of individuals as a long-term memory there are another set of tourists who are disappointed by the lack of true cultural aspects.In conclusion, the article stresses the following points. The definition of authenticity is by itself very subjective because how the scholar, researcher and the heritage manager visualize it may be different from how the tourist perceives it. While there are some of

Such cost anomalies could be present in each of the 40 blends that the company makes.Another significant reason to change the overhead allocation method is that the product cost would change each time the product mix made in the plant changes. This has the impact of causing variations in profitability.Activity based overhead allocation has another important advantage over the labour hour based allocation. Each element of the overhead cost can be scrutinized to see if any reduction is possible. For example, purchasing costs could reduce if the Costa Rica coffee was bought in, say, 2 batches a year in intrust of 4. It is not clear why the number of setups should be three per batch when the batch sizes are so different. Reducing the number of setups for Costa Rica would reduce the allocated materials handling costs.The concept of Activity Based Costing (ABC) was first defined by Robert Kaplan and William Burns in the late 1980s. Initially ABC focused on the manufacturing application where technological developments and productivity improvements had reduced the proportion of direct labour and direct materials costs but increased the proportion of indirect or

Why you should not recycle Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Why you should not recycle - Essay ExampleThe vastness of landspace is underestimated when it is thought to be saved with recycling as the waste consumes very(prenominal) little of the total landspace. If all the solid waste for the next thousand years were put into a single space, it would take up 44 miles of landfill, a mere .01% of the U.S. landspace (Cordato, 1995). This means that the benefit obtained by recycling in terms of the saved landspace is negligible and can be easily overlooked.Secondly, one of the strongest arguments in advance of recycling that is conventionally raised is that recycling is a method to preserve trees. Since paper is made from trees, it is claimed that recycling paper would reduce the need to cut trees to process paper from. Although the argument seems quite convincing, yet it does not reflect the real phenomenon. Since the supply of a material at a particular point in time is consistent with the demand for it, a reduction in the demand of paper wou ld result in an equivalent reduction in the number of trees. great deal would care little to plant more trees if there occurs a decline in their need. The validity of this argument can be estimated from the number of trees that are adult with the intention of using them for the making of paper. In the paper industry, 87% of the trees used are planted to produce paper. For every 13 trees saved by recycling, 87 will never get planted (Cordato, 1995). Thus recycling has an overall negative effect on the growth of trees. Promoting recycling may therefore not simply be pointless but actually damaging (FOPAP, 2012).Thirdly, recycling hardly does anything to reduce pollution. There is no noticeable difference between the goal of chemicals released in the environment in the process of manufacturing things and those that are released in recycling things. Recycling involves a lot of chemical processing of the used material, which has an equivalent impact on the environment. Recycling also causes a decline in the quality

Based on this, thriving CEOs are not those who locked themselves in their offices and came up with management strategies. Managers of successful companies are those who spend time with employees and customers and in the process listen to their employees and customers for suggestions on improvements in their organizations modus

Ethical Argument of The Omnivore's Dilemma Essay

Ethical Argument of The Omnivores Dilemma - Essay Examplek, The Omnivores Dilemma, Michael Pollan has raised this issue as well, calling for an alternative to present days farming practices, when it comes to raising cattle for food. It is evident, that a change is, indeed, warranted, especially when it comes to the feedlot, and feeding of the cattle, because, as Pollan puts it, we are what we eat eats too (84). It would be, perhaps, best if we reverted to the old old age of localized animal farming, where the cattle would be raised as close to their natural and evolutionary pattern as possible.The feedlots of today are not a modern inception they came into being round about the time of the Second World War, when food had to be produced at a much cheaper and quicker dash to feed the troops, while taking into account the lower number of men available for farming. While they were efficient for this purpose, they did not take into account the havoc the governing body may play on the va rious natural processes involved in cattle raising, both on the cattle and on the consumers thereof. First, animal farms were moved from chief(prenominal) cities and cattle were displaced from widely dispersed farms in places like Iowa to live in densely populated new animal cities (Pollan 67), termed CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation). This creates problems on its own, as now the cattle waste that was once used to fertilize the farm goes to waste and ends up polluting the environment. Though, as it would later be explained, the manure of the cattle on CAFOs is no longer so tenable either.The calves that are born into the present animal farms are allowed their natural diet of mothers milk and tidy sum for only six months, after which they are taken away to the CAFO, to be fed an unnatural diet of corn, for no other reason than it offers the cheapest calories around (Pollan 68). maize is not a natural food for the cattle, which results in many health problems for them th eir stomachs do not digest corn well.

Samsung SWOT and PESTEL Analysis

Samsung SWOT and PESTEL AnalysisSWOT psychoanalysisDefinitionThis is part of a follows strategic planning process thatconnects the companys objectives and strategies to tactics and actions carriedout by employees. very much SWOT is part of a companys strategic planning processthat connects its objectives and strategies to actions and tactics carried outby employees. To better decide whatchanges to be made in a company and know where it stands on four key strategic aras it has to use a SWOT analysis.SWOT BasicsStrength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats (SWOT) is anacronym that identifies the four critical elements of this analysis. Strengths commonly explain in detail an analysisof the companys advantages over its competitors. Weaknesses evaluate areas inwhich the company is at a competitive disadvantage and has a possibility offailure. Opportunities are untapped commercializes or business developments that thecompany could venture in and make profit. Threats transverse the for eign milieu that could affect the company, an example being technological,environmental and restrictive factors.Strengths and WeaknessesThe of import reason for utilize the SWOT analysis is so as to be adapted to evaluate and assess a companys strengths and weaknesses. This helpsthe company understand its main market advantages and areas that competitorscould take advantage of. Companies takeadvantage of its strengths by using them as marketing messages so as todifferentiate them from their competitors.By understanding their weaknesses companies commode decide what areas needimprovement and what areas are deeply rooted in the nature of its business.OpportunitiesBy exploring untapped opportunities company leaders are ableto film ways to grow. Any strong company has to look for ways to improveand elevate its growth curve because without growth meaning failure and lack of practice of opportunities, therefore, giving an advantage to thecompetitors. Opportunities are areas that co uld create more sales and profitsto the company, and these can be the inclusion of new and appear markets, newbusiness and yield developments and lastly strategic business partnerships.ThreatsThough this is not fun at all, companies always need to havean idea of what external terrors they may encounter so they can always beprepared and avoid being caught unawares.Government regulation changes may affect the level of competition orcosts companies face. ways in which a company abbreviates access and uses naturalresources can be touch on by environmental or conditional changes. Companies that do not integrated newtechnologies are always affected negatively. (Hill and Westbrook(1997).WHAT IS PESTEL ANALYSIS AND WHY ITS USEFUL?So as to be able to achieve maximum results and get to itsoptimum performance a company has to consider some factors. The Pestel analysisexplains these factors in six categories.POLITICALThese refer to the magnitude of government intervention inthe economy. Most times the foreignpolicy of a country plays an important role in determining the traderegulations that could either lead to trade restrictions or trade incentives. A company can be highly affected by specificregulations imposed by the government.ECONOMICALFuture operation of a company/organization is highlyaffected by stintingal factors. Also, the cost of imported and exported goodsare highly affected by the changes in exchange rate in different regions. Theexpansion and growth of an organization are highly influenced by the economysince there is a change in cost of capital. (Yksel, I. (2012). heartyThe macro-environment of the organization is formed bydifferent social factors, cultural and demographic aspects of the Socialfactors include attributes in ones career, age distribution, growth rate,population, how individuals are conscious closely their health and safety. A keenanalysis of these factors helps one understand the PESTEL analysis and helporganizations understand the dynamics of existing and the availability ofpotential markets and future client needs.TECHNOLOGICALWith the speed at which technology is evolving and customersbecoming more acquired to it, organizations have no option but to keep up withthis pace. New technology makes the anileone obsolete and outdated. An organization/company that is not ready to embracenew technology is at a chance of lagging behind its competitors and losing itsmarket value. LEGALThese are factors that affect the behavior of customers andthe operation of businesses. Things which may be affected by legal factors areproduct transportation, profit margins, and viability of certain markets andto mention a few. These factors help in knowing if there are any dangersbehind selling certain products want drugs and sharp objects and can to a faultaffect how a company stocks their inventory or interacts with the customer.Consumer law is used so as to protect consumers fromcompanies that are involved in fraud and alike preserve their rights when in themarket. This affects business because they have to put aside resources so as togive detailed information about their products and services. Employment law is also known as labor law, and it explainshow companies employees should be treated. This also helps protect childrenfrom child labor and also it makes the firing of innocent employees a bitharder.SAMSUNG SWOT ANALYSISSamsung Electronics Co. Limited is the consumer electronicssubsidiary of the Samsung Group, based in Suwon, southeastern Korea. Samsung is commonly known as the worlds largest shaper of mobile phones,smartphones such the highly commonplace and successful Galaxy as well as otherelectronic devices like Television sets, LCD panels home theaters,refrigerators and even cooking appliances. Having a heavy(p) and unchallenged manufacturing and marketingexpertise, Samsung is regarded as the worlds second largest consumerelectronics company the first being Apple,Inc. its American rival. S TRENGTHS It is the worldsmost successful electronics manufacturer of television sets, liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) panels, mobile phones and smartphones and other electronicappliances. By use of itsstrategic marketing style Samsung is the worlds act one mobile phonesseller with the worlds largest market share of 21.4% in 2015s second quarter.Apple comes second with 13.9% By use of itsimpressive inquiry and design capabilities, Samsung has been able to createand roll out a payment app with similar capabilities to Apple Pay, in less thana year the Samsung Pay. Also, thecompany has been able to incorporate many of the capabilities of both Applephones and Google Android operating system to its mobile devices. Samsung not onlyhas strong manufacturing capabilities but also have undisputed marketingstrategies that have led to the success of the company. Samsung has beenable to sustain long-standing relationships with retailers in the United Statesand Europe that have been able to provide a steady sales channel for itsproducts through out the years.WEAKNESSES It is quite clearthat Samsung has not been able to match Apple Inc.s marketing capabilities forsmartphones. This is because Its shareof the U.S. smartphone market fell by 2.3% between 2014 and 2015 yet Applesshare price grew by 34.9%. Some Chinesecompetitors such as Huawei and Xiaomi are catching up to Samsung in thesmartphone market. In the year 2014 and 2015 Huaweis share grew by 48.1%, andXiaomis share grew by 29.4%. Samsungsdependence on customer electronics sales in markets that have limited resourcefor growth is dangerous. The company depends on these markets an example beingthe United States and Europe, for much of its revenue. The public hasnot accepted the Android operating system in an equal manner like the techcommunity. This is because many consumers view Android as an inferior productto Apples IOS. Samsung devices use theGoogle source action system and this is a weakness because it is notpreferred by a majority of people. Apple productsare viewed as more technology advanced and true(p) on than Samsung productsby a large number of consumers. Samsung needs toimprove its marketing efforts and standards, so as to be in the same level asApple.OPPORTUNITIES Samsung needs togrow its market for smartphones, tablets and other technological devices indeveloping regions where consumers are not familiar with PCs. This is because in 2015 sales of tabletsovertook sales of traditional in-person computers. An example of these regionsis Africa and India. Samsung shouldseize the increased demand for tablet and smartphone-based solutions and marketsome of its products that are not known to many such as Samsung Pay The companyshould venture into new technologies such as wearable tech The growth of themiddle class in the developing world will increase the market for consumerelectronics Sales channelssuch as Amazon.com can be used by Samsung to grow its online marketTHREATS Samsung has notbe en able to outdo Apple. This is because Apple has emerged as the dominantsmartphone and tablet brand in some markets, such as the United States. The growth ofApples reputation for quality, reliability, and sophistication is a threat toSamsung because it seems to be lagging behind. Samsung is mostpopular for its Galaxy devices. We could even say that it depends on thesedevices. The problem is, the Google Android operating system, which thesedevices depend upon, is not as popular with average people as iOS that is inmost other devices incuding Apple is. Key markets forSamsung are North America and the United States. The declining and stagnating of themiddle-class incomes in these areas could boil down consumer buying power andtherefore affect Samsungs sales. Samsung isexperiencing rivalry from Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Thisis evident because the capital share of these companies rose and Samsungs isfalling. If Apple immovableto produce more consumer products l ike home appliances and cameras, Samsungcould be greatly affected.Though Samsung has been able to maintain an impressiveresearch, design and manufacturing capabilities, its marketing strategies arequestionable. There is a need for the company to revisit and improve itssmartphone marketing and design efforts so as to be able to maintain its marketshare in life-and-death arenas like the U.S.If the Samsung wants to maintain its position as an industryleader it needs to 1. New capabilities like Samsung Pay 2. learn to deal withaggressive Chinese competitors like Huawei and Xioami3.Compete with Apples reputation.PESTLE ANALYSIS OF SAMSUNGINTRODUCTIONSamsung is a global company that operates in the market forconsumer appliances and gadgets. Samsung is owned by a South Korean family andhas global aspirations to expand into newer markets. Since Samsung is notcontent with operating in some markets in the world, it wants to cover as manycountries as possible. This analysis focuses on the ext ernal environmentalfactors that drive the Samsungs strategy.POLITICALA large number of markets where Samsung operates have apolitical environment that is conducive for business. This meat that itsoperations excrete smoothly and though there might be some minor distractions toits operations in some of the foreign markets like India, Overall it can beconcluded that Samsung is operating in markets where the political factors arenot harmful. Samsung has faced significant political blows in its home countrySouth Korea because of the countrys tensions with North Korea. Due to thisinstability, the company has had to take into vizor this political factor andalso the threat of war in the Korean Peninsula. In areas where the politicalenvironment is unstable Samsung faces a lot of political pressure. This includesareas in many African and Latin American countries where the politicalenvironment is unstable and experiences frequent changes in the organizationstructures.This is not yet a majo r cause for worry for the company because ithas factored the political instability into its strategic calculations.ECONOMICSOpening up of several markets in the developing world meansthat Samsung can expand in the global markets. This, therefore, means thateconomic factors are a critical consideration. The current global economiccrisis has affected the purchasing power of customers forcing the company toseek profitable ventures in the emerging markets. The global environment inwhich Samsung operates in has a lot ofuncertainties and volatilities which means that the company has to keep onadjusting its strategies. Through expansion of Samsung into emerging anddeveloping markets has made it possible for the company to adjust well to thetapering off of the consumer fluid incomes in the developed world. This isthe main reason that Samsung has an aggressive push into the emerging marketswith hopes that it shall recover all its lost businesses in the developedworld. SOCIO-CULTURALSamsung being a South Korean multinational owned by a familymeans that despite its global footprint it still operates from the core of aKorean company and culture. This means that among its global operations,adapting itself to local conditions is paramount. Since Samsung is a globalcompany that has had to act locally, therefore adapting a global strategy makesit possible to be productive in emerging markets. Together with this, Samsunghas had to tailor its products in markets it operates in so as to cater totheir customers whose preference changes so fast. It is important to note that Samsung operatesin a market deferral that is strongly influenced by the lifestyle preferences ofconsumers. The fact that socio-culturalfactors are different in each country Samsung has had to reorient itself ineach market accordingly.TECHNOLOGICALSamsung is considered to be among the worlds leadinginnovative companies. Therefore, the company is at an advantage of controlling and fashioning use of the power of technology and driving innovation for sustainablebusiness. This has resulted into an obsessive mission by the company to outdoits rivals and competitors when it comes to technology and innovations. Thecompanys main goal is to be the first to reach the produce devices that arepreferred by customers and also be the first products of their kind in themarket. LEGALDue to Samsungs alleged imitation of the Apples iPad andiPhone it has had to face substantial penalties and law suits. This affectedthe company negatively on areas of public perception and consumer approvalstrategies. From Samsungs experience of having various lawsuits with itscompetitors, other technology driven companies should know that having anelaborate basis of a design or model is key rather than making a fast move soas to be able to present a product to the consumers that shall, in the end,ruin your reputation.ENVIRONMENTALSamsung has to be on the lookout when making its products soas to be able to satisfy its custome rs. When doing this, it has to take intoaccount its social and environmental responsibilities so as to make sure theyare both ethical. Therefore, this meansthat the company should ensure that it does not compromise on its staff wagesor their working conditions for they are all involved in producing the finalproduct. (Grade and Pestel)CONCLUSIONAs Samsung prepares to expand globally, it has to be sure ofwhat is expected of it. engineering changes so fast and customer preference evenfaster. Therefore, with this analysis, Samsung has clear guidelines on what toexpect in the global consumer landmine.REFERENCESGRADE, G. B.PESTEL Analysis Of The Energizer.Hill, T., &Westbrook, R. (1997).
