Vedic Religion, Mythology, and Society.

Paige Hammerl Vedic Religion, Mythology and Society The early developments of India have demonstrated to be an exceptionally educated, god dreading, and propelled joint effort of individuals. From roughly 2700 B. C. E to around 500 B. C. E two social orders thrived in the northern locale of India known as the Indus Valley. The Indus Valley Civilization and later, the Aryans †accepted by some to have moved to India from Europe and the center East †cleared the establishment of Hinduism through the impacts of their societies, early religions and social structures.Unfortunately, there is little to be said of the most punctual occupants, the individuals of the Indus Valley Civilization on the grounds that there still doesn't exist a decipherment of the Indus Valley Script. In light of free understandings of antiquities found in old Indus Valley urban areas, we have had the option to delineate that the individuals of the Indus Valley were initially a roaming clan, however later h ad a high level of consistency among city advancement, a language composed on an assortment of little 1 inch seals, and may have venerated Goddesses or a pre-Siva God, regularly observed on these seals with three faces, bullhead, sitting in a yogic position.According to A. L Bashman’s book The Origins and Development of Classical Hinduism, after some time the Indus Valley Civilazation started to decrease since they were driven from their territories by cataclysmic events, for example, the unexpected ascent in the degree of the ocean bed south of the delta of the Indus River (Bashman, 1989, pg. 2). In spite of the fact that we have had the option to remove microscopic pieces of information from the Indus Valley Civilization, a large portion of Hinduism's pre-history comes from a strict Aryan antiquated content called The Veda, comprising of four customs, the Rg-, Yajur-, Sama-, and Atharva-.It is critical to specify that the Veda’s are thought of as endless, or not comp osed by individuals, and the Aryan individuals went down information on the Veda’s from age to age through verbal. Individuals considered the To be as amazingly consecrated writings or sacred texts and they were verbally handed-off for about 3000 years with little to basically no change to them. By some the interpretation of the Veda’s into composed word was seen as against the religion in light of the fact that generally not every person was really permitted or ready to get familiar with the Veda’s in early occasions, and furthermore maybe physical composed words corrupted the holiness of the scripture.The consecrated class of the Vedic Aryans, known as the Brahmans, were seen as the preservers of vedic custom. They were permitted to go to the different religious schools which would represent considerable authority in the remembrance of explicit messages inside the Veda’s. The Veda’s were formed sequentially with the Rg-Veda as the principal conte nt â€Å"written†. The Rg-Veda comprises of 10 books of 1028 songs applauding different divinities, speculated to be formed in early Sanskrit as right on time as 1200 BCE over a time of two or three hundred years. The Sama-Veda is a book of melodies, all dependent on the psalms of the Rg-Veda.The Yajur-Veda comprises of 4 books: one book is the white Yajur-Veda, and the other three are the dark Yajur Veda. Inside these books lies crucial data with respect to systems for customs and penances. Finally, the Atharva-Veda is an assortment of psalms and â€Å"magical† material (spells, charms, curses, and mantras), and this Veda is basically covering enchantment and religion. Every one of the four Veda’s have countless divine beings, or devas, being recognized and applauded. Notwithstanding, inside the Veda’s, stories or legends of the divine beings are barely present; that data was thought to be regular knowledge.All the pantheon of Vedic religion are isolated into two classes: the divine beings (devas) which follow rta, the enormous request, the set course of nature, and the evil presences (asura), follow anrta, or against rta, trying to upset the normal course of things. The divine beings maintain rta, which is basically good and physical all inclusive law. Numerous different divine beings or devas are gods related with nature, the sky and space. The fundamental Devas incorporate Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Nastya, and the minor devas incorporate Yama, Vishnu, and Rudra. The nature divinities incorporate Surya (sun), Agni (fire), Soma (custom plant), Pajanya (downpour), Ushas (first light), Earth, Moon and Night.The divine beings are seen as amazing and willing creatures whose joy or disappointment decides the course of occasions in people everyday lives. On the off chance that they are satisfied they can favor the individuals with downpour for their harvests, fruitfulness in lady, great wellbeing, and so on and on the off chance that they a re disappointed they initially rebuff miscreants with sickness, and after they are ousted to â€Å"The House of Clay† a melancholy hellfire like spot, like where Hades of the Greeks lives. Of the considerable number of divine beings referenced in the vedas, most remarkably in the Rg-Veda, the god Indra, lord of war and climate, has an amazing 250 songs in his honor.Indra is accepted to be the maker of the universe, for when the evil presences, drove by the snake Vrtra, came to assault the divine beings, Indra, strengthed by Soma drink, confronted only them and came out successful and from Vrtra’s dead body he made our reality. Along these lines, Indra is principally seen as a war head (Bashman, 1989, pg. 12). The Veda’s fundamental capacity were its inclusion out in the open love, and it were a basic part in customs. The vedic Aryans primary strict practice was guaranteed strict penance on a recurrent premise to satisfy the divine beings and their ancestors.Both requested acclaim and affirmation so anything from milk, explained spread or ghee, curds, grain (rice/scarcely), soma plant, and even residential creatures were completely utilized as contributions to the divine beings during conciliatory services (Bashman, 1989, ). There were two kinds of conciliatory functions: residential (life-cycle ceremonies, requiring one fire) and grave (open customs, requiring three flames). The vedic Aryan individuals utilized normal conciliatory custom to keep up usefulness of their clan or urban areas. The divine beings were accepted to have authority over things, for example, downpour, illness, sun, fruitfulness, and so on o the individuals would forfeit different merchandise/creatures in their name so as to satisfy them or fortify them to support them. so as to keep up the usefulness of the clan. Every ceremonial was a very fragile encounter. On the off chance that single word, or one system was strange the ceremonial was considered void, and could ev en now and again cause damage to the clan for disappointing the divine beings. This is the place the utilization of Brahman’s were imperative, the customs didn't require monstrous structures or expand symbols, however just a certified Brahman who realized all the necessary methodology gained from the Yajur-Veda.Often they had a few Brahman’s present so as to guarantee the right grouping of occasions happened. Customs were revolved around fire. In ceremonies the fire god Agni would, by means of a particular number of local flames, get penances/acclaims from the individuals and pass them onto different divine beings. This gives Agni the notoriety of a somewhat significant god, with 200 songs committed to him in the Rg-Veda. Fire was seen as a connection between the common and perfect domains (Flood, 2004, 41). Additionally, ceremonies comprised one other significant act preformed by the Brahmans †the eating of the Soma plant.According to Gavin Flood in An Introducti on to Hinduism, Soma is accepted to be some variety of a stimulating mushroom, and was accustomed to carry the clerics to an enchanted state where they could see the divine beings and discuss veda songs to them. Soma was a plant utilized in customs, but at the same time was a divinity (god) and was lauded for making the connection among divine beings and people. To the consumer, Soma brought superhuman quality, a feeling of developing to a tremendous size, and gave dreams of the divine beings coming down to join the admirers (Bashman, 1989, 14).Soma was additionally given to the divine beings during customs as a quality inducer so they would have the option to fend off the evil presences causing a clan sadness. As expressed in An Introduction to Hinduism, customs were preformed consistently by each Aryan at around sunset or day break, and furthermore increasingly confounded ceremonies were preformed toward the start of the two lunar fortnights of the months (the times of full and ne w moons). One costly and significant custom preformed during this period was the rajasuya penance. It was an illustrious penance utilized by rulers to guarantee them a spot in paradise during existence in the wake of death and furthermore to demonstrate their value as a king.This muddled penance was put on by the lord and was revolved around an incredible steed (or pony) that would be trailed by gatherings of men for about a year as it wandered the fields going city to city requesting acclaim before returning to the fundamental city to be relinquished to the divine beings. The criticalness of the rajasuya conciliatory function was its connect to political force (Bashman, 1989, 33). These penances were utilized to keep up the usefulness of a clan/city and offer rulers the chance to demonstrate their value to the individuals, so lords would pay all the broad costs so as to advance these ceremonies.However, the main individuals that had the option to preform these particular services w ith impeccable exactness was the cleric class (Brahmans). This gave them a lot of intensity, and one could contend that it made a force battle between the decision class and the holy class. All things considered, all the conciliatory contribution services were a period for cheering, not just for the rulers who put them on, yet in addition for the whole populace since everybody was profiting. Later in vedic history, after all the Veda’s had been composed, individuals started to become fidgety with their religion.They began to look for additional answers and attempt to make associations between the significance of life, birth/resurrection, karma, the divine beings, and the reason for custom (Reat, 1977, 1). This is the period when the Upanishads were composed. The Upanishads were a â€Å"secret conversation�

The Life of Serial Killer Israel Keyes

The Life of Serial Killer Israel Keyes On March 16, 2012, Israel Keyes was captured in Lufkin, Texas after he utilized a plastic that had a place with a 18-year-old Alaska lady that he murdered and dissected in February. During the next months, while anticipating preliminary for the homicide of Samantha Koenig, Keyes admitted to seven different killings during over 40 hours of meetings with the FBI. Specialists accept there are in any event three additional casualties and perhaps considerably more. Early Influences Keyes was conceived Jan. 7, 1978 in Richmond, Utah to guardians who were Mormon and self-taught their youngsters. At the point when the family moved to Stevens County, Washington north of Colville, they went to The Ark, a Christian Identity church which is known for bigot and hostile to Semitic perspectives. During that time, the Keyes family was companions and neighbors with the Kehoe family.

Military Service At age 20, Keyes joined the U.S. Armed force and served at Fort Lewis, Fort Hood and in Egypt until he was respectably released in 2000. Sooner or later during his young grown-up years, he dismissed religion totally and declared he was a nonbeliever. Keyes life of wrongdoing had started before he joined the military, be that as it may. He confessed to assaulting a little youngster in Oregon at some point somewhere in the range of 1996 and 1998 when he would have been 18 to 20 years of age. He disclosed to FBI specialists that he isolated a young lady from her companions and assaulted, however not murdered her. He advised specialists that he intended to murder her, however chose not to. It was the start of a not insignificant rundown of violations, including thefts and burglaries that specialists are currently attempting to sort out into a course of events of Keyes criminal vocation. Sets up Base in Alaska By 2007, Keyes set up Keyes Construction in Alaska and started filling in as a development temporary worker. It was from his base in Alaska that Keyes wandered out into pretty much every locale of the United States to design and submit his homicides. He voyaged commonly since 2004, searching for casualties and setting up covered reserves of cash, weapons, and apparatuses expected to murder and discard the bodies. His outings, he told the FBI, were not financed with cash from his development business, yet from the cash he got from looting banks. Specialists are attempting to decide what number of bank burglaries that he may have been liable for during his numerous outings the nation over. It is additionally obscure when Keyes raised to submitting irregular killings. Agents speculate it started 11 years before his capture, not long after he left the military. Usual methodology As indicated by Keyes, his typical routine is fly to some territory of the nation, lease a vehicle and afterward travel now and then many miles to discover casualties. He would set up and cover murder units some place in the focused on territory - reserving things like scoops, plastic sacks, cash, weapons, ammo and jugs of Drano, to help discard the bodies. His homicides units have been found in Alaska and New York, however he confessed to having others in Washington, Wyoming, Texas and perhaps Arizona. He would search for casualties in remote zones like parks, campsites, strolling preliminaries, or sailing regions. In the event that he was focusing on a home he searched for a house with a joined carport, no vehicle in the garage, no kids or canines, he told examiners. At long last, subsequent to submitting the homicide, he would leave the geographic territory right away. Keyes Makes Mistakes In February 2012, Keyes defied his norms and committed two errors. To start with, he grabbed and murdered somebody in his old neighborhood, which he had never done. Besides, he let his rental vehicle be captured by an ATM camera while utilizing a casualties platinum card. On Feb. 2, 2012, Keyes grabbed 18-year-old Samantha Koenig who was filling in as a barista at one of the numerous espresso remains around Anchorage. He was intending to hang tight for her beau to get her and capture them two, yet for reasons unknown ruled against it and just snatched Samantha. Koenigs kidnapping was gotten on record, and an enormous quest for her was directed by specialists, companions, and family for a considerable length of time, yet she was killed soon after she was snatched. He took her to a shed at his Anchorage home, explicitly attacked her and choked her to death. He at that point promptly left the region and went on a fourteen day journey, leaving her body in the shed. At the point when he returned, he eviscerated her body and dumped it in Matanuska Lake north of Anchorage. About a month later, Keyes utilized Koenigs check card to get cash from an ATM in Texas. The camera in the ATM caught an image of the rental vehicle Keyes was driving, connecting him to the card and the homicide. He was captured in Lufkin, Texas on March 16, 2012. Keyes Begins to Talk Keyes was initially removed back from Texas to Anchorage on Visa misrepresentation charges. On April 2, 2012, searchers discovered Koenigs body in the lake. On April 18, an Anchorage fabulous jury arraigned Keyes for the abducting and murder of Samantha Koenig. While anticipating preliminary in the Anchorage prison, Keyes was met for over 40 hours by Anchorage police analyst Jeff Bell and FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden. In spite of the fact that he was not totally pending with numerous subtleties, he started to admit to a portion of the homicides that he submitted in the course of recent years. The Motive for Murder The specialists attempted to decide Keyes intention in the eight homicides to which he admitted. There were simply times, multiple times, where we would attempt to get a why, said Bell. He would have this term; he would state, many individuals inquire as to why, and I would be, similar to, why not? Keyes confessed to considering the strategies of other sequential executioners, and he appreciated watching films about executioners, for example, Ted Bundy, however he was mindful so as to bring up to Bell and Goeden that he utilized his thoughts, not those of different renowned executioners. At long last, the examiners presumed that Keyes inspiration was exceptionally basic. He did it since he loved it. He delighted in it. He loved what he was doing, Goeden said. He discussed receiving a surge in return, the adrenalin, the energy out of it. Trail of Murders Keyes admitted to the killings of four individuals in three unique occurrences in Washington state. He executed two people, and he captured and murdered a couple. He didnt give any names. He presumably knew the names, since he got a kick out of the chance to come back to Alaska and afterward follow the updates on his homicides on the Internet. He likewise slaughtered someone else on the East Coast. He covered the body in New York however executed the individual in another state. He would not give Bell and Goeden some other subtleties of that case.

He led what he called a barrage assault on their home, tied them up and took them to a deserted house. He shot Bill Currier to death, explicitly attacked Lorraine and afterward choked her. Their bodies were rarely found. A Double Life Chime accepts the explanation that Keyes gave them more insights regarding the Currier murders was on the grounds that he realized they had proof all things considered highlighting him. So he opened up more about those killings than he did the others. It was chilling to hear him out. He was plainly remembering it to a certain extent, and I ponder it, Bell said. Two or multiple times, he would sort of laugh, disclose to us that it was so bizarre to discuss this. Ringer accepts their meetings with Keyes were the first occasion when he had ever chatted with anybody about what he alluded to as his twofold life. He thinks Keyes kept down subtleties of his different violations since he didnt need individuals from his family to know anything about his mystery life of wrongdoing. What number of more casualties? During the meetings, Keyes alluded to different killings notwithstanding the eight to which he admitted. Ringer told columnists that he thinks Keyes submitted under 12 killings. Be that as it may, in attempting to sort out a course of events of Keyes exercises, the FBI discharged a rundown of 35 outings that Keyes made the nation over from 2004 to 2012, with the expectation that general society and neighborhood law authorization organizations could coordinate bank burglaries, vanishings and unsolved homicides to times when Keyes was in the region. Talk Is Over On Dec. 2, 2012, Israel Keyes was discovered dead in his Anchorage prison cell. He had slit his wrists and choked himself with a moved up bedsheet. Under his body was a blood-doused, four-page letter composed on yellow lawful cushion paper in both pencil and ink. Examiners couldn't make out the composition on Keyes self destruction note until the letter was improved at the FBI lab.​ An examination of the upgraded letter inferred that it contained no proof or pieces of information, however was only a frightening Ode to Murder, composed by a sequential executioner who wanted to slaughter. The FBI closed there was no concealed code or message in the compositions, the organization said in a news discharge. Further, it was resolved that the works don't offer any analytical pieces of information or leads with regards to the personality of other potential casualties. We may never know what number of individuals Israel Keyes slaughtered.

Gun Control Close your eyes and relax. Imagine that you are in a time of 236 years ago, and imagine that you are one of the few people that had the privilege of writing the country’s constitution. It would not take long until you get to the second amendment. This amendment reads â€Å"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed† (Davis). This amendment has extreme importance, and should not be taken lightly. However, this amendment is not accepted like it used to be, and it is a big controversy in the United States today. Should the public be allowed to have weapons, or should the government take them away? From an economic standpoint, it does not make much sense to take guns away from people. Companies in the United States that manufacture, distribute and sell firearms, ammunition and hunting equipment employ as many as 128,794 people in the country. The total impact th at the economy sees from this industry annually is approximately $42,956,599,500 (Dunham). With these statistics alone, it proves that taking guns away would hurt the already struggling economy greatly. It just does not make sense economically to take guns away from people because it would prohibit sales of firearms, ammunition, and other gun related items.

Essay on Compare and Contrast in Edgar Allen Poe - 1180 Words

Edgar Allen Poe’s use of the first person narrative in The Tell-tale Heart is much more effective than Nathaniel Hawthorne’s use of the third person in Young Goodman Brown because the use of the first person in Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart allows the reader to feel the narrator’s panic while the third person narrator in Young Goodman Brown only tells the story and the reader does not feel the main character’s feelings. By telling the story of the Tell Tale Heart in the first person, Poe allows his readers to see the build up of the main characters insanity with the use of language and crazy and rambling dialogue. On the other hand, Hawthorne’s use of the third person simply narrates the story and tells of Brown’s feelings rather than having†¦show more content†¦Later in the story, Young Goodman Brown has a conversation with the devil. The devil tells Brown that he was acquainted with his father and grandfather and that they ha d been involved in evil business. Brown shows no emotion when he receives this information. The reader does not know if Brown is frightened, repulsed or disgusted by the thought of his relatives consorting with the devil. Brown does not even try to deny such a claim which, in early New England, would surely have been heresy. Brown’s only response to the information is to say,† If it be as thou sayest, replied Goodman Brown, I marvel they never spoke of these matters. Or, verily, I marvel not, seeing that the last rumor of the sort would have driven them from New England.† Again, the reader had no clue as to Brown’s true emotions. In order for a reader to care about the story, how it ends, whether or not it is true, a reader has to have an idea of what the main character thinks. The reader needs to know more than the words that are spoken; he needs to know the sentiment behind the words. At the end of the story, the reader does not know if the stor y is true nor does he necessarily care because the use of the third person narrator did not enable the reader to feel a connection with Young Goodman Brown. On the other hand, Edgar Allen Poe writes in the first person narrator and the reader is able to experience all that the main character isShow MoreRelatedEdgar Allen Poe s The Cast Of Amontillado And Dexter1493 Words   |  6 Pagesis to show how they compare to Edgar Allen Poe and his work.

Questions: 1.Discuss four Environmental trends Identified by Stone (2005) for your Selected Company. 2.Evaluate and Elaborate on how the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs can help motivate Employees at your selected Company.. 3.According to Mathis and Jackson (2000) Incentives can be one of the best ways to motivate employees. Propose five types of Incentives Pay Plans which will help motivate your selected Company's Employees. 4.The Working Environment of Employees is not static and as such there is greater Emphasis on the Importance of Performance appraisal and Career Planning. Analyze any three ) Points each in this regard, for your selected company. 5.Using the Concept of Job Enlargement, Identify the four possible reasons for resistance from Employees at your selected Company if it is introduced. Answers: 1.When it comes to the planning of Human Resource (HR), the impact of the environmental factors, along with the structure, culture, objectives and the HR management have to be considered (Truss, Mankin and Kelliher, 2012). For Changi Airport Singapore (Changi), this has been true. Economic: The economy has a great impact over the strategies which are formed for the HR purposes. The boom or slack in the economy can influence the hiring of the company and even the budgeting or the costs associated with it (Schramm, 2014). For 2015-16, the employee compensation which was paid by Changi was 17% of the companys expenditure and stood at the value of S$221 million (Changi, 2016). The expenses increased due to the employee compensation, which depicted the increase in hiring, with the growth of economy. Social: The social factors also hold the influencing power with regards to HR planning (Norton, 2008). For instance, if a company complies with the applicable employment laws and regulations, it would gain the goodwill required to both hire and retain talent. For Changi, the Code of Conduct sets out the standards, policies and principles which have to be followed by the employees of the company. This helps in creating a strong whistle blowing framework, which is a major attraction for the employees of this day and age (Changi, 2016). Demographic: The demographic factors which have a power of influencing the availability of HR include the training requirements and the work arrangements (Salaman, Storey and Billsberry, 2005). Changi has been focused upon creating a strong employer brand, which was confirmed on April 07th 2016 where the company had been recognized by Randstad as being the Singapores Most Attractive Employer. This survey depicted that the good training and long term job security, along with the working atmosphere and financial health were deemed as the contributing factors. This helps the company in being on track for engaging both the present and the possible employees. Workshops are also conducted by the company so that the HR managers can be equipped with the required techniques for interviewing (Changi, 2016). Technology: The selection, recruitment and job design is influenced by the usage of advanced technology, along with the training requirements (Newell, Robertson and Scarbrough, 2009). The recruitment page of Changi is very interactive and uses the technology for its advantage. It depicts not only the internship and employment opportunities, but also the scholarships and the life at Changi. The interactive page depicts videos, pictograms, photos, stories and fun facts, amongst the other things, which denotes the proper use of technology (Changi, 2017). Using this technology, the company created a primary employer brand video, which was promoted across different online platforms, for instance, LinkedIn (Changi, 2016). 2.In 1943, Abraham Maslow proposed a psychology theory in Psychological Review, under the paper titled A Theory of Human Motivation (Kandula, 2006). In this theory, he stated that the hierarchy of needs contains a five tier model of human needs, which can be depicted through the pyramid as hierarchical levels. The five stages given under this model depict the deficiency and the growth needs (Rakowski, 2011). The physiological, safety, belongingness and love, and esteem needs are the deficiency needs. The most top denotes the growth needs, which is the stage of self-actualization. The four levels of deficiency needs are such which motivate the people to achieve more, till the time they are not met (Pichre, 2015). And till the time such needs are fulfilled, the needs become stronger. In order to progress towards the high level of growth needs, the lower levels have to be satisfied. This is because of the emphasis of Maslow over the needs of the humans to be arranged in a hierarchy (Mas low, 2013). (Source: McLeod, 2007) For the employees of Cheng, the Maslows Hierarchy of needs, helps in motivating the employees of the company. Physiological needs: The psychological needs are considered as the basis needs under this theory. This denotes that the employees of the company need to have such a pay scale which enables them to fulfill these basic needs to food, warmth, sleep, rest and water (McLeod, 2007). The award which the company got from Randstad has built a strong employer brand. The company works on improving the quality of hires, whereby the new talent solutions system was brought into place by the company recruiters for selecting the candidates for the higher level positions. Such programs help the employees in attaining a quality level, which helps in fulfilling the needs contained in this segment. The employees of the company are also encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle by designing mental and physical fitness well-being and healthy eating (Changi, 2016). Safety needs: Till the employee feels that they have job security and their safety is kept supreme, safety needs are not fulfilled (McLeod, 2007). The Randstad had one of the factors as the long-term job security. The company also takes safety and the security of the workers very seriously. The management and the board of the company are responsible for managing both the safety and the risks of the company. The company came up with an innovative aircraft earthing pit design, along with an aerobridge earthing device in order to improve the safety of the individuals who work in the aircraft parking aprons (Changi, 2016). Love and belongingness needs: This need depicts the requirement of acceptance, trust, intimacy, friendship and affiliation (McLeod, 2007). In order for the employees to interact with each other and to inculcate the feeling of belongingness, regular group activities are undertaken. Through a higher participation rate, success for these activities is attained. The company encourages its employees to share their personal stories with fellow colleagues, which helps in attaining this need (Changi, 2016). Esteem needs: The esteem needs denote the achievement, status, prestige, respect and independence for the employees (McLeod, 2007). The Randstad award was one of the factors which boost the status for the employees. The directors of the company have diverse expertise, which helps in fulfilling this need (Changi, 2016). Self-actualization: This is the stage where the potential is realized by the employees, and which results in the employees seeking personal growth for self-fulfillment and for peak experiences (McLeod, 2007). The company strives to nurture each of its employees and to provide opportunities to them for their personal growth. And this is done whilst the inclusive and collaborative workplace culture is maintained (Changi, 2016). 3.Mathis and Jackson (2002) proposed that in order to improve upon the performance management, performance of the employees and to motivate them, the most effective manner is incentives. There are a range of incentives pay plans which can be used by Changi so that its employees can be motivated and these have been summarized below. Sales Compensation: Through sales compensation plans, the employer is not only given the salary, but as an incentive, such an amount is given to him, which is linked to the sales of the company (Mathis and Jackson, 2008). So, in case the company has high sales, as a result of the efforts employed by him, the employee would be paid a higher incentive base. Such incentives are suitable for the employees of sales and marketing department, as their efforts ultimately bring the customers for Changi. Cash Bonus: These denote a lump sum amount being paid to the employee on periodical or occasional basis, so as to boost their performance. It can be either given to a particular department or division or to every employee of the company (Mathis and Jackson, 2008). The annual report of the company for the year 2012-13 denoted that of the $9,999,000 paid as key management personnel compensation, the bonus was included (Changi, 2013). Skill Based Pay: For the formal certification of the mastery of the employee with regards to their competency, skills and knowledge, the employee is rewarded with an addition pay and this is known as the skill based pay (Mathis and Jackson, 2008). Skill is something which is most valued in aviation industry and for Chang, such an incentive pay would also help in attaining and retaining talent. Piecework: This is such pay scale where the price is paid at a fixed piece rate for each of the units produced or for the actions performed (Mathis and Jackson, 2008). However, such an incentive based pay scale would not be suitable for Changi, as this method is suitable for manufacturing industries only. Profit Sharing Plans: The profits sharing plan is the most common form of incentive where the employee is paid a share in the companys profits (Mathis and Jackson, 2008). The contribution of employer in this plan is discretionary and so, the management of the company takes the decision to share or not share the profits with the employees and the amount which has to be shared. Changi made a net profit of S$784 million after taxation (Changi, 2016). This contribution had a high contribution of the employees and hence, profit sharing would probably be the best mode for the company to motivate its employees. 4.A crucial role is played by the working environment of the employees, which is constantly changing in this dynamic world. This increases the emphasis on the significance of career planning, as well as, on the performance appraisal. Importance of Performance Appraisal: Through performance appraisal, not only the performance of the employees can be improved but also the productivity can be. When an employee is appraised for their efforts and for the work done by them, they try to work harder and achieve more. Further, it encourages the other employees to work more, so as to get similar appraisals. Performance appraisal also helps in growth and development of the employees. Such appraisals lead to employee being promoted, which results in their growth. Plus, with higher levels, the skills of the employees develop. Lastly, through performance appraisal, the training needs can be identified (Deb, 2009). This is the reason by Changi has worked towards providing its employees with regular trainings. This helps the employees in polishing their skills and also getting accustomed to the latest trends in the industry. Importance of Career Planning: Career planning also has a lot of significance when it comes to employee motivation. The quality of life is increased for the employees through career planning. A properly planned career helps in chalking out a clear career path for the employees. Further, this gives the employees a direction and a goal to achieve. Career planning also helps in equal opportunity laws to be complied with. When the employees have equal opportunity in work place, not only is their career progressed, but the unnecessary penalties owing to breach of equal employment opportunity laws are steered clear. Lastly, through Career planning, the sense of obligation is raised on part of the employer towards its employees. This is because of the increased educational levels of the employee with regards to the equal employment opportunities. Further, it becomes the duty of the employer to give the employee the chance to progress in their career, when they work for the growth of the com pany in exceptional manner (Lussier, 2008). 5.Job enlargement denotes the increase or rise in the tasks at work, along with responsibilities, so as to make the position of the employee, more challenging. It is also stated as a horizontal experience, where the tasks are given to those who hold the current position in the company (Griffin, 2007). Job enlargement is often resisted by the employees of the company due to numerous reasons. Some of these have been summarized below. Often, the job enlargement is considered as an addition of boring tasks and more routines to the job of the employee. The aviation industry does seem very immersing from the outside, but there are a range of activities which prove to be boring work for the employees. This is because the same procedure is repeated over and over again. Gann (1961) described flying as hours of boredom, which was punctuated with certain moments full of complete fear (Airliners, 2017). The same work is repeated and even the added routines are monotonous. Through job enlargement, a range of tasks are given to the employee. If an employee works on a particular task, an expertise or a specialization is attained. Hence, due to job enlargement, the employees are not able to take advantage of job specialization. For instance, at present, the board of the company is full of individuals who have diverse expertise. In case they are given the responsibilities of three or four more fields, which are out of their expert area, this expertise would be passed away. Even though this may seem implausible at top tier, the same is very true for the lower level management. At times, it is noticed that the employees take interest in doing the same task over and over again, which ultimately leads to their specialization and also keeps them in their comfort zone. There are people who hate changes and job enlargement brings with it such changes which make the employees go out of their comfort zone, and thus, attract resistance from the employees. Hence, if a flight attendant is also given the work of the ground staff, the flight attendant would resist it due to the change roles and responsibilities of the two different work profiles. It is also noticed that the job enlargement is opposed by the union, as the same inhibits the new recruitments. In other words, by giving the current employees the roles for which new people could otherwise have been hired, the unions of the workers or the employees oppose the same, as the opportunities are ended with the concepts such as job enlargement. Taking inference from the example given in previous point, when the work of the flight attendant and that of the ground staff is given to the same employee, two posts would be occupied by one person, which also translates that opportunity for one new employee is ended.

A Comparison of JavaScript and VBScript

Question: 1 Understand website design concepts 2 Be able to design interactive websites 3 Be able to implement interactive websites 4 Be able to test interactive websites. Answer: The website in question will be created for a book store. In general, it would be an e-commerce website. The consumer will be capable of purchasing books from the website and then, it will be shipped to a destination of their own choosing. EBooks are not included on the site will deal with actual books, that is, books in paperback formats. Even though, there is a large number of competitors in this business, the market focus of the business is precise and small. The main target are those individuals who are passionate about reading books which have been written by independent and unknown authors. These authors are the individuals who write a decent fascinating book, however, the book doesnt get the necessary amount of attention being in the crowd of various contemporary booksellers, both online and offline. Thus, the model of the business is quite straightforward locate a book which has been written by somewhat anonymous and independent writers, assess the books by an internal reade rs team who will find out the eligibility of the books in regards to being present in the website and then, the books will be catalogued on the site. So, along with providing the consumers a book which is unique and a substitute site for locating a good book to read, the developers will also help these anonymous authors by presenting their works to a small and dedicated audience and thus, help in the generation of a good traction. Thus, the website is required to save and present these books and needs to have a certain limited book set in precise categories which are not as extensive as the ones found at contemporary book stores and the major emphasis is on the collection of these titles. The issue that is being endeavored to be resolved has two attributes one, the independent writers will be provided a proper platform where their works iwont get vanish in the huge ocean of writers and second, to assist readers in locating high-quality, fascinating books which they would have generally not noticed at all. So, any time a consumer visits the website, they will remember that they will locate some unique and difficult to find books which are interesting and fascinating. As this will be an exclusive business, it will be quite difficult to find any other business which is exactly like this one. But, https://www.smashwords.com/ might be a little alike to the business because this website, also, sell and catalogues books from stand-alone authors. But, the focus is not on locating and curating excellent books from stand-alone authors. It needs to be on the creation of a contemporary platform and cataloguing books, only for stand-alone writers. Additionally, the focus of the a bove mentioned website is being given to e-books, while this site will emphasize of paperback and hardbound books. Thus, to create the site and make a catalogue of such stand-alone writers and their books, other book sellers like www.amazon.com can be looked up to as an example. 2.1 The main objective of the site is to offer readers a substitute source of contemporary e-book sellers in lieu of overcrowded stores, so that the reader can locate an excellent and fascinating book to read and at the same moment, assisting proper stand-alone authors to be discovers and praised among an excellent audience of readers. The results The 1st page of the site will clearly be the homepage. Its heading will be Welcome to Indiebookz. Also, the homepage will catalogue some core book sets in two sections Featured and New Releases The 2nd page will be the Browse page.

Leading Managing People - Expatriate free essay sample

Multinational firms throughout the world are increasingly concerned about hiring, developing and retaining managers with international experience and global perspectives† quoted by Briscoe and Schuler in 2004. This report will be focusing on variety of issues relating to Human Resource implications which faced by the expatriate working in MNC located in Malaysia as well as Malaysian working in overseas. The extraction will be from the most recent newspaper, journal and articles relating to the following topics in human resource management. 1) Expatriate Failure and the Selection policy 2) Training and development for cross-cultural 3) Performance appraisal for expatriate The expatriation was subjugated by professionals sent by their employers to foreign subsidiaries or headquarters. 3. 0 KEY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS 3. 1 Expatriate Failure and the Selection policy Expatriate facade many new challenges both in the workplace and the community. For instance, culture shock differences in work-related norms, isolation, homesick, housing, schooling, language, customs, cost of living and coping with his/her spouse’s problems of adapting to new environment. We will write a custom essay sample on Leading Managing People Expatriate or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page According to Stone(2008), research indicates that a manager’s inability to adapt or their partner’s inability to adapt is the major cause of expatriate failure. Harvey(1983) cited the consequence include premature return from a foreign posting and high resignation rates, with expatriates leaving their company at about twice the rate of domestic managements. Tung (1987) expounded the three main reasons contributing to the failure of expatriates in US MNC is as follows:- * the inability of the manager’s spouse to adjust to a different physical or cultural environment; * the manager’s inability to adapt to a different physical or cultural environment; * other family-related problems. One study by International Orientation Resources, an HRM consulting firm, found that 60 percent of expatriate failures occur due to these three reasons too(Solomon,1994). Besides the above mentioned reasons, include inappropriate selection practices, inadequate preparation and training as well as the stresses associated with expatriation which identified by New Zealand research (Enderwick and Hodgson, 1993). Another critical reason is the cross-cultural communications can be a struggle for the international manager. Gestures, facial expressions, behaviour and words can have different meanings and connotations. China, Korea and Japanese have high-context cultures where considerable importance is given to non-verbal and situational cues. In contrast, Australia, Canada, the US and Britain have low-context cultures where what is said is what it meant(Stone,2008). In contrast, some Malaysians who work aboard feel that the grass is greener on the other side. In Appendix A, this article highlighted the reasons why some Malaysian prefer to remain overseas. Due to higher paid, to widen their horizons, the prestige of working in a foreign company and the quality of life is unbeatable. The expatriate is unable to adapt in the foreign environment due to lack of cultural skills. According to HRM consulting firm, this is because the expatriate selection process at many organisations is essentially flawed (Solomon, 2000). Expatriates failed because these three focal reasons which mentioned by Tung that have not been part of the selection process. The underlying message was that the family is the basic unit of expatriation, not the individual. The MNC needs to look into this matter seriously in order to reduce expatriate failure. 3. 2 Training and development for cross-cultural Many companies including MNC have been ignored on providing training for employees whether local or global organisations. MNC recruits expatriate based on technical competence and past job performance as the key selection criteria and assumed the expatriate is able to adapt in the country where he was posted. MNC should not take them for granted. They should be pre-prepared by providing orientation, training on the cultural, language and living skill in the host country. Shown in Appendix D, expatriate reports interviewed an expatriate working in Nanchang, China on how significant was the culture shock he experienced when he moved abroad? He replied that quite significant and hard to adapt to the Chinese food and people spitting on the streets. Certainly, at the initial stage every expatriate will face cultural shock difference which may lead to miscommunication, misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Then directly he will be unproductive, inefficiency and faces expatriate failure. The MNC has to recruit a new manager to replace him which will be time consuming and have to repeat the process of selection and hiring. The MNC requires the expatriate to train the local employees in the host-country by transferring his knowledge and skills to them so that they are able to be independent and step into the positions/responsibilities within the shortest possible time. The article in Appendix B highlighted Malaysia government will review the education system to produce talent needed for an advanced nation and also perks to lure home highly skilled Malaysians (brain drain) and retain global talent to develop a quality workforce. Even our government recognise the essential of education/training to develop our highly skilled employees that are not only vital to the companies but also making the nation into globally competitive and transforming it as the high-income economy for instance Singapore, HK and Shanghai. 3. Performance appraisal for expatriate Stone (2008) cited that performance appraisal is a matter of serious concern for many expatriates. This is because performance appraisal is often handled badly. Companies fail to take into account the added complexities that come with international appraisals. Key issues involving performance expectations, performance measures and who will be responsible for the conduct of the appraisals are left vague or undecided. Worse, some head office managers ignore the international appraisal and do not incorporate it into the career development process. The end result is that expatriates perceive the appraisal process as unfair and as a source of never-ending frustration. Groeschi (2003) quotes that a number of comparative international and cross-cultural management research projects have concluded that HRM is influenced by culture. He also highlighted the same HRM policy is likely to be attributed quite different meanings by different cultural groups for instance performance appraisal. An organisation’s performance appraisal systems are an important element of its control systems, which is a central component of organisation architecture (see Figure 1 as below). In many international companies, the thorny issue is how best to evaluate the performance of expatriate managers (Hill, 2009). During the appraisal evaluation for the expatriate, there are two groups who evaluate the performance of expatriate managers. They are host-nation manager and home-office managers whom are subject to bias. The host-nation managers may be biased by their own cultural frame of reference and expectations. On the other hand, home-country mangers’ appraisals may be biased by distance and by their own lack of experience working abroad. Home-office managers often not aware of what is going on in a foreign operation and they tend to rely on hard data in evaluating an expatriate’s performance, such as the productivity, revenues, profitability or market share which reflect factors outside the expatriate’s control. Due to such biases, many expatriate managers believe that headquarters management evaluates them unfairly and does not fully appreciate the value of their skills and experience. It also one of the reasons many of them believe a foreign posting does not benefit their careers (Hill, 2009). 4. 0 RECOMMENDATION 4. 1 Expatriate Failure and the Selection policy Managing a MNC provides a diversity of challenges which the crucial one will be how the parent-company will recruit potential expatriate to manage their off-shore operations affiliates/subsidiaries. Selection of the expatriate must be right at the first time although time and resources consuming in reviewing and evaluating all the potential candidates follow by filtering them. The expatriate should not be selected based on technical competence and past job performance as the key selection criteria. Expatriate failure in many cases is the result of a lack of personal adjustment rather than a lack of technical skills. Harvey (1997) cited furthermore, research shows that in many companies expatriate selection is often haphazard and irrational. Organisations need to understand that in choosing expatriates, they should take into account differences in the business, social and cultural environment in the specific country and the impact on the potential expatriate, spouse and dependants (Stone, 2008). Stone’s (1991) study found that both local managers and expatriate managers perceive the essential selection criteria as the expatriate’s ability to adapt and the adaptability of the partner and family. 4. Training and management development for cross-cultural According to Hill (2009), superior performance requires not only strategy must also be supported by the right organisation architecture. Strategy is implemented through organisation. In Figure 1, people are the linchpin of a firm’s organisation architecture. For a firm to outperform its rivals in the global marketplace, it must have the right people in the right postings. Those people must be trained appropriately so they have the skill sets required to perform their jobs effectively and so they behave in a manner that is congruent with the desired culture of the firm. The following trainings are recommended for MNCs’ expatriates:- * Cross-Culture Training prior to departure The purpose of this training allows individuals to more rapidly adjust to the new culture before departing to host-country, and therefore, to be more effective in their new roles (Black and Mendenhall, 1990). It has been widely recognised for more than 20 years that the partners and children of expatriates play an important role in contributing to the success of expatriate assignments (Fukuda and Chu, 1994; Rahim, 1983) Cultural, Language and Practical(Living Skill) trainings * These trainings are helping to control and reduce expatriate failures. There is no question that comprehensive cultural training can have many benefits for MNCs. For starters, it can help orient and develop expatriates to better communicate, understand, and work effectively with people from different cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. Comprehending and valuing cultural differences can al so help expatriates in the effective management of multi-cultural teams. Understanding global markets, customers, suppliers, and competitors is another indirect benefit. Pragmatically, cultural training can have a positive impact on combating very expensive expatriate failure (Luthans, 2002). Their spouse adaption problem, it is important that the spouse and the whole family to be included in this training * Language training usually conducted in host-country’s language. When the expatriate willing to communicate in the host-country language(even not fluent), can help build rapport with local employees and improve the manager’s effectiveness. * Benefit of practical training in helping the expatriate manager and family ease themselves into daily life in the host country. The expatriate community group can be a great source of support and information sharing in helping the expatriate’s family adapt to a foreign culture. 4. 3 Performance appraisal for expatriate To overcome the expatriate’s frustration and problems, the HR manager needs to ensure that the following key issues are clarified before the expatriate begins an overseas assignment:- * What are the organisation’s performance expectations? * What criteria and standards will be used to measure performance? * Who will conduct the evaluation – a local manager, a head office manager or both? * What will be the frequency of the appraisals? What consideration will be given to local environmental influence? (for example, volatility of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, availability of skilled labour, political instability, corruption and so on) * Is the appraisal positively incorporated into the career development process? * Are head office managers cognisant of the local business environment? * Are there any cultural influences that may distort the measurement of the expatriate’s performance? In order to overcome the biases of the two groups who evaluate the expatriate managers’ performance, it is recommended to implement 360-degree feedback.

Homeostasis essays

Homeostasis essays The human bodys ability to maintain a constant environment is essential to its survival. This capability is referred to as homeostasis. Homeostatic mechanisms keep the body near a set point, based on the sensitivity of central nervous system nuclei, which is an ideal value for that particular person. An example of a homeostatic mechanism is a negative feedback mechanism. Any deviation from the set point is made smaller. This mechanism does not prevent variation, it only helps keep the variation near the set point. Many negative-feedback mechanisms have three components; a receptor, a control center and an effector. A receptor monitors the significance of the variable. The control center is where the set point is established. The effector has the ability to change the variable. The set point varies from person to person. The body usually does not maintain its set point exactly but instead it fluctuates and declines around this point bringing forth a normal range of values. When the body undergoes a physical stressor; such as exercise, a secondary set point is established. The Schneider test measures the recovery rate, the rate at which the body moves back to the original set point once a stressor is removed. It determines the recovery limit of the cardiovascular system. It is based on the measurement of heart rate and blood pressure before, during and after exercise, a stressor in this case is standing and moderate exercise. This system was developed by Dr. Schneider after World War I in order to evaluate combat preparedness and overall fitness of American aviators. Exercise: 15 sec.- 88 Score: 16 ...
