Homosexuality in a Sri Lankan Context Essay

â€Å"We struggled against apartheid because we were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about. It is the same with homosexuality. The orientation is a given, not a matter of choice. It would be crazy for someone to choose to be gay, given the homophobia that is present.† (Bishop Desmond Tutu). The above quote on homosexuality exemplifies on how homosexuality is a given and not a choice. It also exposes one’s understanding to the detrimental state of social homophobia and imposes a moral social obligation upon the society in whole In approaching our research topic it is important to bear in mind that Sri Lankan society is a diversified social grounding. This society includes people deriving from a multiplicity of backgrounds may it be religious, ethnic or cultural. And it should be established that homosexuals have since a long time come out as a community into this wide social arena of Sri Lanka. The noteworthy aspect of homosexuals in the Sri Lankan social context is that their sexual orientation appears problematic to the local social order; as it challenges the long established norms and perceptions of gender roles. This situation is what leads to the mass society’s understanding of homosexuality as a problem or in other words a threat to the Sri Lankan social order. It is these perceptions and attitudes of people in society that leads to a process of discrimination and labeling, which may adversely affect the minority of homosexuals in society. This phenomenon would be explored initially in this study, to establish the existing social patterns of discrimination on homosexuals. Thereafter as an applied sociological research; this study would focus on the existing socio-legal mechanisms governing homosexuality, in keeping with the problems that continue to occur in general society. The study would ideally attempt to propose the socially demanded changes under the existing socio-legal framework of our country, in order to accept and recognize the minority homosexual communities into the mainstream social order. In terms of analyzing the patterns of social discrimination the research would focus on various social establishments starting from schools, workplaces and local authorities; in order to understand and objectively prove the existence of discriminatory patterns on homosexuals within the social context. The study would also allocate space to look into the impact of discrimination on the homosexual community of our society. This aspect of the study would be dealt through the topic of homophobia, where the psychological implications of these patters would be highlighted. Once the problems concerning the homosexual community of society is dealt with, the research would proceed to study the existing legal framework on homosexuality. The nature and scope of section 365, 365 A of the penal code would be elaborated, in keeping with its effects on the homosexual community. The study would further continue to analyze the status of homosexual laws of other countries of the world and compare and contrast the situation of homosexuality with that of Sri Lanka’s. As with regard to the conclusion of this research, an attempt would be made to propose changes to the existing socio-legal framework of our country concerning homosexuality, in keeping with a view to promote the rights and standards of the homosexual community in Sri Lankan society. Chapter 01: Research Background 1.1 Research Problem In this study there would be two research problems which would be analyzed. The first being the existing patterns of social discrimination on homosexuals within the Sri Lankan social context. The second problem under study would be the incompetence of the existing legal framework to guarantee the equal rights of homosexuals in the society. The very nature of these research questions bases our study on a number of hypotheses. The first hypothesis being that the existing social system orchestrates the patterns of social discrimination on homosexuals. And the second hypothesis based on the idea that the present legal framework is responsible to the deteriorating standards of homosexuals, and that it demands significant alterations. In outlining the first research problem, the research study would focus on the patterns of social discrimination that takes place concerning the homosexual minority of the society. In exploring this topic high emphasis would be given to understand the existing gender expectations of our society and culture. The expected role of a man or the expected role of a female, which is imposed upon individuals by the social order, would be focused in this regard. Upon understanding these social expectations of gender; the status of homosexuals which trespasses these gender norms in the society would be looked into. The research would make an attempt identify the instruments of homosexual discrimination in society; may it be religion, culture, or discriminatory laws. The institutions of homosexual discrimination would be considered in this study starting from the early school environment up to the working organizations of Sri Lankan society. In terms of the second research problem, the centric focus would be on the Sri Lankan legal framework concerning homosexuality. The prime statute of Sri Lanka concerning homosexuality, section 365 of the Penal code would be elaborated from different points of views, in order to prove it’s incompetence to cater the constitutional principle of equality. The research would also concentrate on other laws of the country such as ‘adoption laws’ that appear to be problematic and incomplete to meet the natural needs of the homosexual communities. The argument of decriminalizing homosexuality would be presented in this study; comparing the processes of decriminalizing anti homosexual laws in countries such as India, America and European countries. The focus of the study would aim at providing proposals for legal changes that would safeguard the rights of equality, privacy and liberty of the homosexual communities in Sri Lanka. 1.2 Research Objectives As this research study would be carried out under applied sociological method, it would not be purely concerned on the problems of homosexual lifestyles or the reasons behind their different sexual orientation. Instead this study would be focused on providing suitable socio-legal framework in order to accept and recognize the minority homosexual community in the mainstream society. And in terms of proposing such a framework the researcher would give due consideration to the existing social order and laws; and emphasize on the need of safeguarding the rights and dignities of the homosexual community in such a proposed framework. The objectives of this research could basically be listed out under the following points; * An attempt to understand the deteriorating standards of homosexuals in the Sri Lankan society. * Looking into the existing socio-legal framework of Sri Lanka with regard to Homosexuality; and how it affects the lives of homosexual individuals. * Making recommendations to the existing social order of Sri Lanka; in order to accept and recognize the homosexual community in the mainstream society, thus safeguarding their rights, dignity and liberties. 1.3 Research Methodology and Data Collection As mentioned earlier this would be an applied sociological research in terms of research methodology. An Applied research is concerned with search for ways of using scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. It focuses on analyzing and solving social and real life problems. The findings become basis of framing programs and policies, based on the principles of pure research (Ahuja, 2009) . Thereby as this research would be conducted on an applied research basis, the study would be aiming at finding solutions to the problem of deteriorating homosexual rights in Sri Lankan society. As part of the framework of applied researches an attempt would be made in this study to highlight the problems faced by homosexuals in Sri Lankan society; as consequence to the trends of social discrimination. And upon further examining the current socio- legal realities rooted in our social system; this research would attempt to promote recommendations on improving the standards of homosexuality. These final recommendations would be a basis for framing programs and policies for the promotion of welfare and rights of Sri Lankan homosexuals. In terms of Data Collection methods of this research, the researcher would depend on basically two sampling methods to collect data as; * Purposive/Judgmental Sampling * Snowball Sampling Under the purposive sampling method the researcher purposely chooses persons, who in his judgment about some appropriate characteristics required of the sampling members are thought to be relevant to the research topic and easily available to him (Ahuja, 2009). In terms of this research the researcher would reach out to those who in his opinion are best suited to obtain information pertaining to the contents of this research. Based on this sampling method the researcher would include the sample members representing the LGBT community (referring to homosexuals) and also the sample members representing the general society. Another sample used for the purpose of collecting data would be the ‘Snowball Sampling method’. In this technique, the researcher begins the research with the few respondents who are known and available to him. Subsequently these respondents give other names who meet the criteria of the research who in turn give more new names. This process continues until an adequate number of respondents are discovered (Ahuja, 2009). Based on this sampling technique the researcher would approach available contacts that suit the criteria of the research; and thereafter proceed for others based on the recommendations from the original respondents. This process would be followed in terms of gathering respondents from both the LGBT community as well as the respondents from the general society. The research frame would be based on respondents available to the researcher within the city limits of the Colombo district. The researcher in terms of finding the sample respondents representing the LGBT community approached leading organizations committed to the development of gay rights in Sri Lanka. The researcher in this regard has approached two of such groups; one being the ‘EQUAL GROUND organization’ (names of organizations published with the consent of its representatives) and the other being a peer based support group committed for representing gay rights known as ‘Sakhi Collaborations’ (names published with consent). The research also includes a couple of individuals representing the LGBT community whom were reached separately by the researcher. The researcher also interviewed a leading legal practitioner in order to obtain views and arguments on the present legal framework pertaining to homosexuality. In looking at the tools of data collection of this research, the researcher uses a multiplicity of techniques to collect data in order to fill the content of this research. Accordingly the ‘Key Informant method’ was used to collect information from leading figures representing the two key organizations used in this research. The importance of a key informant method is to gain information on the general status of homosexual rights in many spheres of society, from the point of view of an organization which is involved in activism of promoting homosexual rights in society. The experiences, information of different cases reported, provision of various services to cater the needs of homosexuals are some of the important contributions that can be obtained through this key informant method interview. The researcher also conducted two focus group interviews consisting of respondents representing the LGBT community, with the assistance of organizations representing LGBT rights in Sri Lanka. One focus group interview was held in Thimbirigasyaya Colombo which was organized by Sakhi collaborations; and another focus group interview was held in Kirulapana Colombo organized by EQUAL GROUND. Both these interviews had around 6-8 respondents each representing the LGBT community. The focus group interviews are used to collect data from a group of members belonging to the same category, where the collection of data through an interview is done simultaneously for all members of that group. The focus group interview was carried out as an informal discussion where the respondents were freely allowed to express their views pertaining to the topics provided for them by the researcher. A questionnaire was also distributed amongst the LGBT community in order to further obtain their views on different areas of this research content. In obtaining data from respondents representing the general society the researcher has used a sample which was limited for students receiving higher education within the age group of 18-25. The purpose of restricting the scope of this sample as above was to reflect the views of the future generation with regard to homosexuality. The research also used a number of print material provided by organizations to the researcher, which were of use in terms of understanding various important socio legal dimensions pertaining to homosexuality. The researcher also had access to publications of some organizations, which reports of case studies on homosexuality and other documents containing rights and policy frameworks concerning homosexuality which were used throughout this study. 1.5Research Ethics As the research deals with a sensitive and controversial topic there will be many ethical safeguards adopted throughout this study in order to uphold the principle of Non Harm to the participants of the research as well as the general public. Some of the ethical considerations which would be adopted in this research are pointed out as follows; I. Informed Consent- The researcher would explain the nature, content and scope of the research to the participants and would obtain their Consent before making them a part of the research II. Anonymity safeguarded- The researcher would protect the identity of the participants as per their request and may use pseudonyms in this regard. Furthermore the researcher would not disclose information that may reveal the identity of the respondent based on the sensitivity of such information. However the names of organizations committed for homosexual rights, used as a sample in this research would be used with the prior approval of representatives of such organizations and groups. III. Confidentiality protected- The confidentiality of information provided would be protected at all times. And as per the request of the participant certain information would not be reported in the research. IV. The principle of Non Harm- The entire research would be based on the principle of Non Harm, and thereby would not disclose any such information that would be of detriment either to participants or any particular section of community. V. Providing access of research report before completion- The research report before being completed would be provided to the respondents in order to get their feed back as well as to allow them to see if any sensitive information affecting their interests has been published. Chapter 02:Definition of Concepts In order to proceed with the research report it is important to understand the concepts at use in this study. As this research deals with the topic of homosexuality there are various concepts that need to be pre understood, as homosexuality could be perceived from many perspectives in society. The social perceptions on homosexuality would also be extensively dealt with in this research, thereby the negative social reaction towards homosexuality would be considered in the form of Social Discrimination which too encompasses different dimensions. There would also be a legal analysis in this study which would be elaborated in depth; thereby a number of legal concepts need to be properly defined in order to better understand the direction of this research. 2.1 Sexual Orientation In understanding ‘Sexual Orientation’ it should be borne in mind that this concept has been heavily nurtured by social perceptions and attitudes, thereby it is a concept subjected to much abuse by society. For example in a society, attitudes on a person’s sexual orientation are very subjective, where a simple gesture could be interpreted as overly feminine or masculine and thereby form perceptions on the character of such person. Therefore for the purpose of this study it is important to objectively understand this concept. In order to serve the above purpose, ‘Sexual Orientation’ could be defined in two aspects as; * Emotional- Sexual Attraction of Persons * Emotional- Sexual Conduct of Persons Under the first aspect we look on how a subject person may share emotional or sexual intimacy with others of their opposite sex (heterosexual), others of both sexes (Bi Sexual) or others of one’s own sex (homosexual). However under this aspect it is only the emotional and sexual attraction that would be considered and it does not look into the actual conduct of such people’s relationships (Wintemute, 1995). This would explain a situation where a person who has emotional-sexual attraction to members of his own sex; continues to hide his feelings from society and lives a socially accepted heterosexual lifestyle. However the emotional-sexual conduct of persons goes one more step ahead and covers situations where people who share emotional sexual attraction to others, manifest such attraction by conduct. Once again this refers to all categories of sexual orientation including heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual (Wintemute, 1995). As actual homosexual relationship between two persons that manifest their sexual and emotional attraction to each other through conduct, would be included under this aspect. In understanding sexuality or sexual perceptions in the larger society, it is important to bear in mind these two dimensions of sexual orientation. Upon understanding the concept of sexual orientation, it is important to move on to the main consideration of this research that being ‘homosexuality’. For the purpose of this research the term ‘Homosexuality’ would be used on four categories of sexual orientations as: LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi Sexual and Transgender). Thereby it is of pivotal importance to define these four types of sexual orientations which would be the subject of this research study. * Lesbian – are referred to women who are emotionally, sexually or spiritually attracted to another woman. The attraction to other women based on the other criteria as well as manifestations of such attractions, could both be construed as Lesbianism (Equal Ground, 2010). In terms of tracing the origins of the term Lesbian it dates back to the Greek era, where inhabitants of an island call ‘Lesbos’ led towards the birth of the term Lesbian. The inhabitants of this island were said to be lesbian in their sexual orientation and there are historical records of love poems written by a Greek poet called Sappho, who describes love and romance between women of this island (Wakkumbura). * Gay – are used to refer to Males who are emotionally, sexually and spiritually attracted or manifest their attraction by conduct of intimate relationships with other men (Equal Ground, 2010). Homosexuality in general usage was much associated with Gay’s or male to male sexual conduct. Many religious interpretations and cultural discourses have articulated on gay sexuality many a time in history. * Bi Sexual- This is a term used on persons who are sexually, emotionally and spiritually attracted to both Men and women (Equal Ground, 2010). And engage in intimate conduct expressing such attraction with both sexes. * Transgender- This is a broad term used to describe people who express their gender differently from the general expected norm of society (Equal Ground, 2010). Many gender groups such as Transsexuals, Cross dressers, Kothi’s or Nachi communities, would fall under the umbrella of Transgender. Transgender basically would refer to a situation where one’s biological sexuality conflicts with their psychological sexuality. Thereby paving way for a situation where one would act differently from the expected gender norms; such as by different gender expressions as wearing opposite gender clothes. In another sense transgender could even include persons that actually are emotionally and sexually related to another same sex person. Even though transgender does not fall within the ambit of the definition homosexuality, for the purpose of this research the term homosexuality would also refer to transgender communities. Even in Sri Lankan society we find these transgender communities such as cross dressers and Nachi’s (a transgender group that expresses their gender differently). As transgender people are making gender expressions against the established social gender norms, such as males wearing female clothing and applying lipsticks and use of other female accessories; they become more prone for social discrimination. Therefore the transgender communities are also included to the scope of this research study.

Airline Aviation Safety Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2250 words

Airline Aviation Safety - Essay Example To see an airplane fly was indeed unique to actually fly an airplane was a daring feat. The early pioneers did not take it lightly, for to do so meant flirting with death in these fragile unstable craft. Thus, the earliest aviation was restricted to relatively straight and level flight and fairly level turns. The flights were performed under visual conditions in places carefully selected for elevation, clear surroundings, and certain breeze advantages to get the craft into the air sooner and land at the slowest possible ground speed. The greatest problems with early flight were the reliability of the propulsion system and the strength and stability of the airframe. Many accidents and some fatalities occurred because of the structural failure of an airplane component or the failure of the engine to continue to produce power. Although human factors were not identified as a scientific discipline at this time, there were serious human factors problems in the early stages of flight. The protection of the pilot from the elements, as he sat out in his chair facing them head on, was merely a transfer of technology from bicycles and automobiles. The pilots wore goggles, topcoats, and gloves similar to those used when driving the automobiles of that period. Crash Of Valujet Flight 592: A Case Study Of Human Errors On the morning after the crash of ValuJet Flight 592, United States Secretary of Transportation Federico Pena appeared on television to re-affirm the safety of flying on ValuJet: "I've flown ValuJet. ValuJet is a safe airline, as is our entire aviation system" (Navarro, 1996, p. A1). Pena also added a strong endorsement for ValuJet's management team: "Whenever we have found any issues, ValuJet has been responsive, they have been cooperative, they have in some cases even exceeded the safety standards that we have" (Navarro, 1996, p. A1). Senior Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officer David Hinson echoed Pena's sentiments about the safety of flying ValuJet. Three days later, a preliminary inquiry by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded that oxygen canisters being shipped in the cargo hold ignited a fire that brought the plane down shortly after its take off (Wald, 1996a, p. A1). Vincent, Crow, and Davis (1997) contend that an airline crash provides a compelling and visually powerful news story. Vincent et al. maintain that "the events which surround air crashes are inherently dramatic, involving life and death situations, heroic actions, fatal and fateful decisions, and unforgettable visual images" (p. 354). Part of the appeal of a crash occurs because it involves ordinary people. Part of the appeal of a crash occurs because of the very randomness of the act, and the potential for a similar random act to affect millions of other air travelers. Vincent et al. perceive an airline crash to constitute a rich text with three overarching story lines: (1) "The tragic intervention of fate into everyday life" (2) "The mystery of what caused the crash" and (3) "The work of legitimate authority to restore normalcy" (p. 357). In the case of ValuJet Flight 592, these themes were altered slightly by the recurrent

'Finder' Case Study Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 words

'Finder' Case Study - Essay Example In the process of employee relation activities, mangers should behave in a reasonable and fair manner and also influence other management colleagues to behave in a similar manner. It is important for the managers to appreciate the principle of the procedure of employee relation is to establish a set standard of behaviour. However managers must also appreciate as to why such practice is important to protect and advance the management interest. Change and innovation in the employee relations policies as well as practices helps the firm o gain a competitive advantage over its competitors (Gennard &Judge, 2005, p.4). Therefore it has been said that the management needs to understand the employee relation. This management report deals with a case study of Finder and aims to analyse the current situation of the employees and recommend solutions. In addition to the report a reflective statement has also been provided. Analysis of the Situation Finder Industries was established in the year 1 930s and dealt with high precision engineering manufacturer. It had over the years grown on the basis of high quality and for its innovation in technology. It has been operating in 70 countries and employs about 20,000 people and manufactures patented medical equipments and technologies which are used in the hospitals across the globe. The company has managed to emerged from the global financial crises in a relatively health position. The demand for its products is strong and the new products which are manufactured by the company have been into the fore front of some of the non invasive medical procedure. The company also managed to reduce waste during the production process and improve the productivity eliminating the defects in support of total quality. But the UK site was ranked poor in some related areas and demanded targets for immediate improvement. Employee relation problem As per the case study Finder Industries faced one of the major problems in the area of absenteeism. The cost of absenteeism has been the highest in UK facility especially among the manufacturing operatives and research and development staffs. About 1500 staff was employed in the manufacturing operatives and 200 staff employed in the research and development. The rate of absenteeism was about 10% which was much higher than the industry average. The employees mainly availed the sick leave mainly the long term sick leave. Also short term sick leave was also high such as such as night shift workers being absent on Friday nights, or day operatives absent when scheduled to work on a Saturday. Many of the employees absent were not subject to sanction as they returned to work. As a result they continue to incur the annual leave. Reason behind a large percentage of absenteeism may be due to numerous factors. According to reports, about 40 million days are lost each annual year to workplace absenteeism. Nearly about 93% of the employees quote cold and flu as one of the cause for being absent b ut in reality half of the workers have actually nothing with respect to health. The absenteeism had an inverse impact in the overall UK industry. According to CBI 11.5bn in the year 2002 was paid out through wages to the absent workforce and temporary staff. But however it is important to manage absenteeism and it is actually quite simple to manage absenteeism among the employees (BBC News, 2004). Finder Industries has been reported to have the largest

Science Education Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1750 words

Science Education - Research Paper Example From this paper it is clear that  although it is difficult to link the beginning of modern scientific thought to a single idea or individual, one of the most foundational thinkers of modern science education is Galileo Galilei. Indeed, Galileo has been referred to as the Father of Modern Science. Galileo emerged during the Renaissance when European culture began to question many of the long-entrenched beliefs that were accepted throughout the Middle Ages. Indeed, the Renaissance refers to a return to earlier times, namely Greek antiquity when intellectual culture and philosophy flourished.  As the report declares  the most significant contribution to science education after Galileo’s discoveries, were those made by Isaac Newton. Newton was a truly astonishing person. While most famous scientists are recognized for developing a single idea, Newton is credited with discoveries in physics, mathematics, and astronomy. Today Newton is recognized most prominently for the disco veries he articulated in his book Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.  This book is perhaps the single most important book in the history of science as it established the way we viewed the world and the universe until Albert Einstein would amend many of these ideas in the early 20th century. In this book Newton established the three laws of motion, which would constitute foundational modes of understanding in both astronomy and physics.... 230). With the development of the telescope Galileo could view and record aspects of the universe that had eluded scientists and astronomers for centuries. It was not long before Galileo developed a revolutionary change in the way modern science education views the universe. Specifically, Galileo came to realize that rather than the planets and Sun revolving around the Earth, it was the Earth that revolved around the Sun. Galileo’s discovery was so astounding and revolutionary that it was violently rejected by many individuals and institutions. Perhaps most notably the Catholic Church condemned Galileo for heresy (Cole 1986, p. 30). This resulted in him being forced to recant his statements and live his life under house arrest (Cole 1986, p. 30). Ultimately, however, Galileo’s ideas would last the test of time and now are implemented in science textbooks everywhere. Perhaps the most significant contribution to science education after Galileo’s discoveries, were t hose made by Isaac Newton. Newton was a truly astonishing person.

These laws of motions would

Back to our place(Someplace of my memory) Essay

Back to our place(Someplace of my memory) - Essay Example In America, I suppose it would be a Vehicle Testing Station. As I remember, there were hundreds of taxies, so it might even have been a cab company, like Yellow Cab. In the mornings, it used to be a little crowded, with neighborhood people complaining about the waste oil flowing downhill from the top, to the housing area. This is the only bad memory that comes to mind about that place. However, residents did nothing more, other than to murmur sulkily to express displeasure about that oil. Around midday on Sundays, after having a light lunch, my family would take four badminton rackets, a few shuttlecocks, and some water to drink, and would step inside the 400 square yards area of that big car park up the hill. With a light heart, we would pass by the black written sign "Car Inspecting Office of Eastern Part", as if the sign did not exist. A few neighbors would already be there, playing side by side, as everyone had fun, and enjoyed their games. It seemed as though nobody cared about original purpose of the place. Instead, It played the role of a little camping spot and family play area. For my family, the white lines for car parking became the perfect place to play badminton, the markings were just right. We would start for home at dusk, cooled by a fresh breeze, smelling the sweet scent of sweat that wafted skywards on that gentle wind, tired but happy. On weekdays, around the... If we put those lines, that looked like a chessboard, together as a set of twelve, it became a great soccer field, or the place for dodge ball played on a group of lines, in exactly the same way. We would never go back home until darkness fell, making us afraid. The only exception that would stop our play for a time was when we heard our mother's voices. They would call us loudly for dinner, sounding very far away in the darkness. Those friends, and sound of my mother's voice, filled with alarm, have been a pattern and part of my life throughout my entire childhood and beyond. The scenes from those times remain unforgettable to me, for all my life. But sometimes things did not always happen that way, and the happy scene would be disturbed. We would hear another voice coming toward us, not the loving concern heard in our mother's calls. There were two sides to this place, a different aspect that stays in my memory. The office would never be totally empty, even though we hoped it would be. After 5.00 PM, when the workers went home, a few people would always be on duty there. Though they did not often confront us, there was a sort of competition, as they did not want to let the balance of power between neighborhood and workers, pass to our side, making us the winners. To assert their position of being 'in charge', sometimes, the person on duty would make us leave, and we had a lot of fun hiding from them and watching carefully for a chance to get back inside the car park again. But in my memory, I can see that they were only human too, the same as we were, and we saw that side of them often. When they became bored sitting in the office, they would come out and play with our soccer

Globalisation and Crime ( Criminology) - Essay Example Human trafficking is concerned only with trading of people and it does not necessarily include any kind of movement of people from one location to another. The annual international trade in relation to human trafficking constituted an amount of $31.6 billion (Anderson, 2000 ).The most popular – and fastest growing – activity of the criminal organizations that operate transnationally is that of human trafficking. According to international convention, the concept of human trafficking is related to violation of the basic human rights. It is even subjected to directive in the context of the European Union. Human trafficking can be further be defined as transport, recruitment, harbouring, selling and even receipt of people through some exploitative means such as threat, fraud, deception and force. The main forms of human trafficking comprise sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, labour exploitation, internal trafficking, organ trafficking, and child trafficking. There ha ve been policies and strategies that have been set forth by various nations, some of which are effective, but still this issue is growing and gaining more importance in the current decade. The main focus of human trafficking is in the areas of the trafficking of women. The key countries that constitute women trafficking are United Kingdom, eastern and central European countries (such as Hungary, Belarus, Lithuania or Ukraine), South East Asia, Latin America, West and East Africa. The countries in which there exists a great deal of woman trafficking are Germany, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Netherlands, and countries in which such trade is moderately high are Denmark, Austria, France, Spain, Poland, UK, Switzerland, Bosnia, Poland and Kosovo. Each country where such trafficking is a very serious issue has different statistics, which cannot be considered as a reliable source to predict the consequences that some

Role of Social Media Before, During and After Emergencies Dissertation

Role of Social Media Before, During and After Emergencies - Dissertation Example Adequate preparedness has been important in mitigation of the destructive consequences of disasters. Social media has been used to share critical information and facilitate coordination between disaster response teams when other forms of communication are unavailable. Further, due to the universal communication capabilities of social media, it has been extensively used to aid recovery following a disaster, as it is possible to appeal to people all over the world to donate towards the cause through a brief social media campaign. As it is the case with other communication technologies, usage of social media tools in disaster management is not devoid of limitations. These limitations which are centered on technological, regulatory and reliability perspectives of communication lower the quality of information in the social media, thus rendering it ineffective for crisis management. The challenges can be overcome through the enhancement of technological and regulatory frameworks underlyin g social media. Social media should not be used as the alternative to traditional media but should rather be used as a complementary media to enhance the overall communication in the disaster management cycle.Recently, the world has witnessed the myriad chain of disasters. From Hurricane Katrina in the United States, deadly earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, Katrina in U.S, earthquake in Haiti, exceedingly cold winter in Europe, and terror bombings in various parts of the world. With the rise of disasters in the past few years, it can be expected that their frequency will increase in the future years, especially with respect to natural disasters that may not be averted(Keim, 2011). Due to the frequent disasters, there has been an increased need for communication as people seek to reach their families and friends in the crisis zone, and get information concerning shelter, food and accommodation and transport. Social media has been instrumental in the dissemination of information about these crises by allowing the sharing of information and calls for help.

Cellular Network and Smartphone Application Security Research Paper

Cellular Network and Smartphone Application Security - Research Paper Example Numerous applications present in smart phones have raised new security questions. Security is a prime requirement for users today and therefore users should be knowledgeable about their vulnerability to attacks. Types of Cellular Networks 2G Stands for second generation wireless telephone technology it’s known as Personal Communications Service, or PCS, in the United States. 2G technologies can be broadly divided into  TDMA-based, FDMA-based and  CDMA-based standards. Compared to previous 1G networks that were analogue, 2G offered digital encryption and started the data service for cell phones including text messages. Digital signals allowed effective data compression and multiplexing while reducing the emission of radio power. Enhanced security decreased the incidences of frauds. 2G is also a cell phone network protocol .Their features included voice mail, caller ID, Conference calling and simple web applications like web browsing and email. Some modifications in 2G led t o the evolution of 2.5G and 2.75G that account for the transition to 3G. 2.5G has a circuit switch domain and included MMS technology along with GPRS. 2.75G technology enables improved data transmission rates by virtue of being an extension on top of standard GSM hence performed better than its predecessors 2G and 2.5G. 3G Third generation succeeded the GSM standards. It provided great speed to browse through WebPages, play 3D games, download or stream full motion music videos. Verizon Wireless was the first to introduce 3G services in 2005.3G was accompanied by increase bandwidth, and greater support for diverse applications by the inclusion of packet-switched data with spectral efficiency at greater speeds. There are two 3G families 3GPP and 3GPP2. 3GPP was formed to foster deployment of 3G networks that came from GSM. Deployment GPRS and EDGE began in 2000 and 2003 respectively. These technologies are defined by IMT-2000.IMT2000 stands for International mobile telecommunications while 2000 means it was launched in 2000 had data rates of 2000 Kbp and frequency range of 2000 MHz. 3GPP2 was introduced to help operators using CDMA2000 to move to 3G. 3.5G was introduced with cable speeds and its added features include faster browsing of graphic intensive site and on demand videos.    4G Fourth generation refers to fourth-generation wireless that overtakes the 3G technology. What really constitutes 4G is not yet defined but 4G networks are distinguished by their use of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) rather than (TDMA) or (CDMA) even though carriers are divided on whether to use (LTE) or WiMAX. ITU standards claim that 4G network should allow exchange of data at 100 Mbit/sec whereas 3G’s speeds can be as low as 3.84 Mbit/sec. As expected 4G is faster than all previous generations. Technologies that enhance coverage like Femtocell  and  Picocell  are being developed to support 4G technology. LTE (Long-term-evolution) –It use s additional spectrum and multiplexing enhancing speeds which are10 times faster than 3G.The lag time has also reduced delay increasing the responsiveness of buffering. It is known for its high quality Voice-over-IP (VoIP).It is believed that songs can be downloaded within 4 seconds and photos uploaded in 6 seconds. Most of the smart phones support 4G LTE and it is available in more than 175 cities. WiFi WiFi provides wireless connectivity. It uses 802.11 radio technologies providing a fast and secure

Active Listening in 4 Steps Essay Example for Free

Active Listening in 4 Steps Essay Active listening in 4 steps: The best managers make the best listeners Managers spend a good part of their workday listening to other people. But bear in mind, there’s a big difference between â€Å"passive† and â€Å"active† listening. Effective listening includes a four-step process to ensure understanding: 1. Listen to the total message.  2. Prove your understanding by using nonverbal signals. 3. Use open-ended probes. 4. Paraphrase what you hear. Motivating employees through realistic deadlines: 4 dos and donts Without deadlines, employees flounder. They can’t be aware of the urgency or priorities of a project unless their supervisors tell them. Following are four tips on motivating employees by setting realistic deadlines: 1. Do be specific  Name the target day and time. And mean what you say. If you ask for completion â€Å"next week,† don’t complain on Friday that you really needed it on Wednesday. 2. Do clarify priorities Let people know if this assignment takes precedence over any other projects they’re working on now. Avoid the old, favorite deadline â€Å"ASAP,† which usually translates in an employee’s mind as â€Å"whenever it gets done.† 3. Don’t set false deadlines  Setting a deadline earlier than necessary (because you don’t trust your employees to meet the real deadline) creates more problems than it solves. Your staff will soon learn that’s how you operate and will assume there’s always air in the schedule. As a result, they’ll always miss that first deadline, just as you knew they would. 4. Do establish an update schedule  The best-laid plans can go astray, and so can deadlines. You’ll minimize the chance of this occurring by setting up a progress report schedule when you assign the project. This is especially important for long-term projects. Motivating employees to do their best each day: 6 office communication techniques Here are six tips for motivating employees to stay on task and work together toward the common goal, according to a report by OnPoint Consulting: 1. Clarify, clarify, clarify.  2. Establish clear expectations. 3. Don’t micromanage your entrepreneurial-minded employees. But do monitor them. 4. Encourage employees to share bad news with you. 5. Solve problems quickly, but not too quickly. 6. Encourage informal and spontaneous interaction. Managing employee retention: Listen for subtle whispers of employee turnover Most good employees don’t stand up one day and quit out of the blue. They send off subtle hints that, if you’re listening, you can act on before the good employee walks out the door. That’s why it’s important to listen to statements like these that can act as an â€Å"advance warning system† for employee turnover: * This job isn’t what I thought it would be. Rather than exploring what the employee was originally told or trying to defend miscommunication, focus on the present. Ask, â€Å"How do you want your job to be?† * I’m at a plateau. I can’t grow here. Consider that a plea for job stimulation. Provide the employee with new responsibilities, cross-training opportunities or exposure to influential mentors. * I don’t get any feedback. Most employees crave regular input from their supervisors. Don’t leave them in the dark. Plan regular sessions to discuss ongoing projects and performance. * This place has too much politics. While you may not be able to eliminate all dissension and politics in the organization, you can level with the employee. If someone makes this complaint, address rumors head-on, a nd don’t play favorites. Maintaining workplace productivity: 7 common employee gripes (and how to silence them) A recent study says that 40% of managers in the United States are considered â€Å"bad bosses† by their employees. Yet most managers assume that their relationships with their employees are running smoothly. Obviously, some of those bosses are wrong †¦ and that can create major problems for workplace productivity. A Gallup Poll says organizations are 50% less productive—and 44% less profitable—when serious boss-employee conflicts exist. Employee retention strategies: 8 little things managers can do to retain the best When good employees leave for greener pastures, it makes a manager’s job much more difficult. Managers can prevent this syndrome by doing what they can to make their own pasture the greenest. While compensation helps, it’s not always cash that makes pastures greener. When salaries are equal with the marketplace, other factors take priority. Here are eight easy-to-plant â€Å"seeds† that help keep employees growing and content, according to a KEYGroup report: 1. Keep them engaged. Consider ways to provide opportunities for employees to improve on their skills or learn new skills they can use in their jobs. 2. Give praise where praise is due. Recognizing a job well done isn’t an expensive proposition, but it will mean the world to your employee. 3. Be aware of employees’ changing needs. By recognizing their changing needs, you show sensitivity to what’s going on in their lives. This builds loyalty and helps bring stability to their personal lives, which means they can focus better at work. 4. Realize that great employees thrive under great leaders. Employees won’t leave for greener pastures unless you drive them. The buck starts and stops with their leaders. 5. Conduct regular â€Å"stay† interviews. Rather than exit interviews, use regular â€Å"stay† interviews to provide an opportunity to compliment high performers on their work and inspire them to do more. 6. Create an environment where people can do their best work. By allowing employees to develop and implement their own ideas, you’ll keep them passionate about their work. 7. Create an environment of trust. Employees are happier and work harder when they trust their leaders. They decide which leaders they can trust based on how their fellow employees, company vendors and customers are treated. 8. Rid your pasture of weeds. The weeds are those poor performers and negative employees who stifle the good attitudes and high performance of their co-workers. The bottom line: Striving to keep employees happy and engaged is not just a â€Å"nice† thing to do — it’s the only way to maximize workplace productivity. Thoughtful employee retention strategies are useful not just for retaining people to avoid the high cost of recruitment. Engaged employees are creative, productive, motivated and brimming with good ideas

Software Engineering Ambiguities And Omission Computer Science Essay

Software Engineering Ambiguities And Omission Computer Science Essay Ambiguities and omission are statement that can be explained in number of ways. For example, the following statement is ambiguous. The operator identity consists of the operator name and password; the password consists of six digits. It should be displayed on the security vdu and deposited in the login file when an operator logs into the system. According to the question there are so many ambiguities and omission can be found in the given scenario. The main ambiguities and omission includes in given scenario as follows: The structured approach described in study text can be dividing as follows: Preface, introduction, glossary, user requirement definition, system architecture, system requirements specification, system models, system evolution, appendices, and index. The first category of structured approach is preface. In this stage should define the expected readership of the document and describe its version history, including a rationale for the creation of a new version and a summery of the changes made in each version.  [2]  In the second stage of structured approach is the introduction. In this stage this should describe the need for the system. There should be a brief explanation about its functions and will it works with other systems.Acooding to the given scenario the ticket machine is made for perches rail ticket quickly rather than waiting in the que to perches rail ticket. When the user enters the start button he can chooses the destination. After selecting the destination user can se e the availability of trains ,train time, what kind of trains available(slow or fast,overground or underground train).When the customer chooses the destination,train,and the time user can purchases the rail ticket by paying card or cash. In the next stage of the structured approach which is user requirement definition, needs to define the services provide for the user. User requirements can be explained as follows: When user enters the start button he should abele to see the destinations. When the destination chooses he should be abele to see the train time and the ticket price. If the customer confirms the selected destination he should be abele to pay by card or cash. If the customer wants purchases more than one ticket their should be a option to select the numbers of ticket .After that customer should abele to chooses the payment method (cash or card).If the customer user wants to pay by card he should abele to input the card. After input the card if the user change his mind and wants to pay by cash there must be option to cancel the payment method as a card and choose the payment method as cash. If the customer paid by cash change and receipt must be given. The next stage of structured approach involves to given scenario is system requirement specification. This should explain about the functional and non functional requirement s in detail. According to the system requirement the system should be able to display the destination when the user selects the start button. When the customer chooses the destination system should be abele to display the availability of trains, time.and price. If there are no trains for chosen time system should be abele to display the alternatives (eg; replacement bus services). When the customer selects the train the system should be abele display the payment method (cash or card).According to the scenario user can only pay by credit card or cash, but the system should be able to take debit cards as well. Because most people use r debit cards more than credit cards).If the user input a card before choosing the payment method or input a invalid card system should abele to displays the error massage. If user has been paid by cash system should able to gives the change back. After purchasing rail ticket by card or cash, the system should able to print the valid ticket to chosen destination and abele to provide the receipt for the payment which has been done? The next stage of the structured approach is System models, which has been don in question (e.) .The last stage which involves to given scenario is system evolution. This refers to the fundamental assumptions on which the system is based and anticipated changes due to hardware evolution, changing user needs.etc..(Eg: if the user wants to purchases the ticket online at home he should be able to log in to the system and purchases the train ticket. (c.)Write the user requirements definitions. The user requirements for a system could be divided to functional and non functional requirements, because it helps to the user to understand the system without technical knowledge. User requirements are defined using natural language, tables and diagrams as these can be understood by all users. There are so many problems can be generated when requirements are written in natural language. Lack of clarity It is something difficult to use language in a precise and unambiguous way without making the document wordy and difficult to read. Requirements confusion- Functional requirements, non-functional requirements, system goals and design information may be clearly distinguished. Requirements amalgamation- Several different requirements may be expressed together as a single requirement User requirements can be defined as: the software must provide a means of representing and accessing external files created by other tools.  [3]  According to the above scenario user requirements can be explained as follows. When the user presses the start button he should be able to choose the options (For example customer selecting a specific destination, the destination is in which zone, etc) When the customer chooses the destination user should be able to find out the train times and what kinds of trains (fast train or slow train, underground train or over ground train) are available for that time. If trains are not available or delays at that time user should be able to find out the alternatives such as when is the next train available?, Is there any replacement bus service available?, etc.. After choosing the destination, train and the train time, user should able to see the ticket price. User should able to choose the payment method (card payment or cash payment) to purchases the rail-ticket. If the user wants to pay by cash he should able to enter the cash and confirms the cash payment. After confirming the cash payment, rail ticket should be printed and receipt for the payment and change needs to be given. If the user wants to pay by card he should able to input the credit card or debit card and enter the validation pin. User should be able to get the rail ticket and the receipt after payment has been made. (d.)Write the system requirements specifications. System requirements are expanded versions of the user requirements that used by software engineers as the starting point of the system design.  [4]  Normally they add details and explain how the user requirements should be provided by the system. According to the given scenario software requirements can be highlight as follows: When the user enters the start button the system should be able display the destinations. When customer chooses the destination the system should be displayed the train availability, what kind of trains available (fast, slow train or over ground, underground) of chosen destination and the departures time. If there are no trains available at that time the system should able display saying that there are no trains available at chosen time enter the more option button to check the alternatives. When the alternatives selects system should be abele to display the alternatives(eg.take the replacement bus 472 towards London bride and take the northern line towards Morden -estimated time 1 hour and 32 minutes) If the trains available, after the choosing the destination and the departure time, the system should be able to display the ticket price for the all kinds of trains. For example if the user wants to take underground train within zone 1-6 the travel card will be  £6.30. When the customer selects the ticket type for the chosen destination the system should be able to display the payment method (pay by card or cash). If the customer chooses the payment method as cash system should display how much user needs to pay totally and also should display a massage saying input the cash for perches the ticket) When the customer input the cash the system should be able to charged exactly for the ticket price and change need to be given. Because most of the time users do not keep exact amount for the ticket.mostely they keep  £10 or  £20 notes. If the customer chooses the payment method as card he should confirmed the payment method as card and needs to input the card. When the customer enters the pin the system should abele to verify the card and take the money from users account, but the card is invalid there should be a error massage should be displayed saying you have entered a invalid card please enter the valid card. I f the validation is successful system should de abele to charge from uses account and provide the receipt. (e.)Draw a sequence diagram showing the actions performed in the ticket-issuing system. You may make any reasonable assumptions about the system. Pay particular attention to specifying user errors. Sequance diagram (f.)Write a set of non-functional requirements setting out its expected reliability and its response time. Requirements that are not directly concerned with the specific functions delivered by the system known as none functional system requirements. None functional requirements are not only concern with the software system to be developed, some may concern with the process that should be used to develop the system. There are three non-functional requirements. They are Product Requirements: Which specify the behaviour of the product? Ex: how fast are the system executed and how much memory dose it requires? Speed can be measured by processed transaction, event response time and screen refresh time. Organisational Requirements: requirements driven by polices and procedures in the customers and developers organisation. Ex implementation requirements such as the programming language or design method used. External requirements: Requirements that are driven from factors external to the system and its development process. Also the time that the user take to get familiar with the system and number of help forums that are available, robustness of the system , how much time it take to restart the system in case of a failure occurred. Reliability that measures mean time to failure. Rate of failure accuracy availability and portability of unavailability. Portability of percentage is non-functional requirements that are important when designing a ticket issuing system. (g.)Develop a set of use-cases that could serve as a basis for understanding the requirements for ticket-issuing system. Use Case (h.)Briefly describe the requirements validation process. Discuss all the checks that you have to perform to validate the above requirements in ticket-issue system. Requirement validation concern with the specification of the system that customer wants is functioning according to the requirements. Requirement validation also examines the specification to ensure that all software requirements have been stated unambiguously; that inconsistence, omission and errors have been identified and correct them. Following checks have been carried out on requirements Availability checks Since this is a ticketing system that is used by public. There are multiple users with multiple requirements. Therefore the requirement validation should be favourable for all users. However some users may find there requirements are fulfilled and some may not. Consistency Checks There should be no contradictory constrains or descriptions of the system function. Completeness Checks To check all the requirements have been achieved Realism Checks Once the requirements being gathered it is important to check that the system can be implemented with the current technologies and also it is possible to finish the project with the given time period with the allocated budget. Verifiability To reduce the potential of dispute between customer and contractor, system requirements should always be written so that they are referable (i.)Create a semantic data model for the above scenario. Data model (j.)What is the impact if when the customer pays cash, he is allowed not to have the exact amount? According to the given scenario if the user pays by cash he needs to pay the exact amount. For example if the rail ticket is  £6.30 user must pay exactly  £6.30.Specialy the cities like London most people dont carry change with them they keep  £5,  £10 or  £20 notes. It is a user requirement to get the change back if the user inserts cash more than exact amount. System should abele to give the change back. However in the real life most of the ticket machines, if you put cash you get the change back.

Hester vs. the Community in The Scarlet Letter Essay examples -- Scarl

Hester vs. the Community in The Scarlet Letter      Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter seems to be created around Hawthorne's obsession with the forbidding quality of the scarlet "A", the symbol from which the novel takes its title. Rrom the rose-bush which Hawthorne selects a flower from as an offering to the reader(1) to the "elfish" child Pearl, every aspect of the story is drenched in this letter's scarlet hue. Perhaps this repetition reflects Hawthorne's own repressed desires, as some critics suggest(2). However, what seems more compelling is the function which the symbol serves for Hester Prynne and the community which has condemned her. For Hester the symbol is clearly a literary one; she fashions the scarlet "A" to fulfill the function of telling, in one solid image, her story of sorrow and strength. For the Puritan community the symbol does not lead to truth, but rather conceals it. They place their fears and darkest imaginings into this brand. Hawthorne's possible artistic obsession brings to l ife a tortured woman, and the torment of the society that inflicts her punishment.    Freudian symbolism must be differentiated from literary symbolism in order to form a deeper understanding of the symbolic scarlet "A" conceived as a punishment by a Puritan society's desire to uphold its truths, but brought into physical existence by Hester Prynne's "fancy."(3) Daniel Weiss embarks on the enterprise of solidifying this distinction in the first chapter of his book titled The Critic Agonistes: Psychology, Myth, and the Art of Fiction.(4). Weiss suggests that "the literary symbol is a concrete and untranslatable presentation of an idea, or an experience that cannot find its way into consciousness except throu... ...Art of Fiction. Ed.

Juliet: From Mouse To Woman :: essays research papers

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare the two main characters are Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Both teenagers matured and changed during the play, but Juliet’s changes stood out the most. Juliet transformed in less then a week, which says she did not change much, but there is a definite difference in her personality from before she met Romeo to after she married him. There are many events in the book that support that idea. Most of which interact with her mother. Many events towards the ending of the play suggest she is very obstinate, which is quite different from the begging of the play before Juliet even thought of marriage or defying her parents and family. In Juliet’s first scene she is talking to her Mother and the Nurse. Her Mother brought up the topic of marriage and Lord Paris. This is when we first see a young girl who has just begun to grow up. She replies with the fact that she hasn’t considered marriage yet. Most girls of her age would have been wives by now, so it was slightly uncommon that she hadn’t even thought of her marriage. Also in this scene we see in her willingness and obedience, when she does not object to her Mother’s thoughts of her marring Lord Paris soon. When her Mother asks her if she could love Paris she replies, â€Å"I’ll look to like, if looking liking move. But no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength to make it fly.† (I, iv, 102-105) I interpreted her to mean she will try to love him, but she will not look deeper than her mother wishes. She reminds me of a mouse in a way, meek and a pushover. This scene is right before the ball. Later when Juliet is at the ball she meets Romeo, and falls in love at first sight. Later Romeo follows her to her balcony where she confesses her love for Romeo to herself. Overhearing her, Romeo shows himself and also confesses his love for her. Taken over by her first feelings of love and lust, she defies her parents just by speaking to him in that manner.

Personal Responsibility of Macbeth in Spakespeares Macbeth :: essays research papers

Let me ask just one question, have you ever heard anyone say something, that deep down it is known that, that is not right? Of course, everyone has been in that circumstance. Just because someone ‘tells’ you to do something does not mean that the deed gets done, right? If someone ‘told’ me to murder a lot of people, I’m not going to do it. The same follows for Macbeth. In the novel Macbeth written by William Shakespeare the main character, Macbeth, is told that he will become King. The only logical way to become king (in his own mind) is to kill the existing one, King Duncan. Lady Macbeth, Macbeth’s wife, has no uncertainty at all, in fact she wants him to become king more than he does, and tells him to murder Duncan to obtain this position. As one can see Macbeth not only knows what he is doing, but he knows what he is doing is wrong. Macbeth was not an unintelligent individual. In fact before he was crowned king, he was the thane of Cawdor. The novel insinuates that Macbeth was having uncertainties, â€Å"and cursed thoughts.† (2.1.8) To paraphrase lightly, the novel states, when Macbeth arrives at Inverness, Lady Macbeth overrides all of her husbands’ objections, and persuades him to kill the king that night. Telling us that he knew what he was doing was wrong! All he needed was a little persuading. Not only does Macbeth kill the king, but he stabs him in his sleep, along with all his chamberlains’ men. Also we know that he is fully aware of his wrong- doing is he had supernatural portents, like a vision of a, â€Å"bloody dagger of the mind/ a false creation.† (2.1.38-39) Macbeth pre- meditated this murder, and all the ones to come. Every human is born with a subconscious thought process known as your common sense. Not to kill is one of them. Yes, killing took place a lot more in that era, but it does not make it right to do so, but Macbeth’s greed took precedence over all these peoples’ lives, in fact, when Macbeth speaks to himself he states that his life is that of a â€Å"fruitless crown,† (3.1.62) or having no heir to the throne. Macbeth not only killed the king and his chamberlain’s men, but also Banquo, Banquo’s son Fleance, Lady Macduff, all the Macduff children.

Examine the different ways in which ‘good’ is used in meta-ethics Essay

a) â€Å"Examine the different ways in which ‘good’ is used in meta-ethics.† Meta-ethics is the study of the meaning of moral language. It describes presuppositions and language of morality. There are a number of different ethical theories for the meaning of good used in meta-ethics. The four main headings under which most acceptable theories can fit under in some shape or form. These are Ethical Naturalism (or Definism), Intuitionism, Emotivism and Presciptivism. Definism theory states that all ethical statements are similar to non-ethical statements and can, therefore, be approached in the same way. In the same way that we can verify a scientific fact, ethical naturalism theory states that we can verify an ethical statement. They are both prepositional. Definism states that ethical statements are just a type of short hand for more complex propositions. So therefore, in terms of Ethical Naturalism, if I were to use the term ‘good’ in a number of examples, it would just be a ‘summary’ word to sum up all the other words I wish to have incorporated into my sentence. For example, in the sentence: â€Å"I am good at football,† the word good is used to mean ‘skilled’ or ‘talented.’ This does not mean that ‘good’ means ‘skilled’ or ‘talented’, but simply that both of these words are incorporated in the single use of ‘good.’ In another sentence, ‘good’ could be used as a short hand for a completely different set of words. In the sentence, â€Å"It is good to see you,† ‘good’ is used to mean ‘pleasant’, ‘nice’ or ‘heart warming.’ Again this does not mean that ‘good’ means ‘pleasant’ or ‘nice’, but simply that both these words are incorporated in the single use of ‘good.’ A contradictory theory to Definism is Intuitionism. Intuitionism states that ‘good’ is indefinable. Intuitionism also holds that basic moral truths are objective and stand independently of what people my fell or think. Intuitionism holds that we should pick out our moral principles through what we think or feel. There is no definition of good that can always hold true. For example, if someone were to define good as ‘pleasing’, an Intuitionist would respond by pointing out that not all pleasing things are good. A similar theory to Intuitionism is Emotivism. An Emotivist believes that moral judgements simply express our feelings on a subject. If someone were to claim something was ‘good’, an Emotivist would see this as an emotional exclamation, not a truth claim, and would take it to mean that the person approves of the thing/action/person etc. Another fairly similar theory is Prescriptivism. Prescriptivists believe that in using moral language such as ‘good/bad’ or ‘right/wrong,’ we are simply prescribing our opinions. In other words were are saying, ‘do this, and let everyone do the same in the same situation.’ Therefore, if someone were to say ‘giving to charity is good,’ what he or she is really saying is ‘you ought to give to charity.’ This again, means that ‘good’ not used as a universal truth, but in this case it is used as a universal prescription. In summary: in Definism, the term ‘good’ is simply a ‘short hand’ for more complex propositions that apply to that particular example. In Intuitionism holds that good in indefinable and therefore has no universal meaning. Emotivists believe when we use the term ‘good or make other moral judgements, we are simply expressing our feelings. So, therefore, if I say something is ‘good,’ this is simply an exclamation and therefore cannot be true or false and cannot be reasoned upon. Lastly, Prescriptivism holds that when we say something is ‘good’ we are prescribing a particular opinion and making it known to other that we feel they should do the same. b) â€Å"Anything people approve of must be good. Discuss†¦Ã¢â‚¬  The response to this question depends on how we define the term ‘good.’ Can we loosely define ‘good’ as moralistic? There is a common theory that believes that our morals our simply a product of our culture and background. Therefore, there will be different moral codes in different societies. If each individual society has equal validity, it must be agreed that there can be no universal moral code. This theory is called Cultural Relativism. Cultural Relativism therefore holds that ‘good’ means ‘socially approved.’ Therefore if we rearrange the above statement, replacing the word ‘good’ with the Cultural Relativist’s definition, we find ourselves looking at a slightly odd sentence which looks as follows: â€Å"Anything that people approve of must be socially approved†. Now there are two ways to interpret this sentence. The first would be to question the number of people included in the generalization of the word ‘people.’ If the sentence is intended to mean, â€Å"if anybody approves of something, it must be socially approved†, then the statement is not true. However, we can also take the sentence to mean, â€Å"If the majority of people within a society approve of something, then it is said to be socially approved.† If we swap ‘good’ back into the sentence we end up with a statement that looks like this: † if the majority of people within a society approve of something then it is good.† Thus we have formed the central principle of Cultural relativism. In terms of the other theories that define ‘good’, only one can be applied. Definism would argue that the statement is simply a short hand for more complex propositions. So in this case, ‘good’ is used to mean ‘beneficial’ or ‘correct.’ Since this is possibly true, Ethical naturalists would have a fairly strong argument here. Emotivism, Intuitionism or Prescriptivism cannot really apply here as they are all subjective and based on opinion and in this case good cannot be used an exclamation of opinion.

A Performance Constraints of Thai Economy

It may be useful to put the discussion of achievement constraints of the Tai economy briefly in perspective. Over the past 2 decades, the Tai economy has been one of the best playing economies in the world, characterized by sustained higher(prenominal) harvest-feast enumerates, averaging 10. 3% 1985-90, and 8% in the course of studys prior to the crisis (1990-96). This festering was attach to by a dramatic counter correspondence in the incidence of absolute poverty, from 57% in 1962 to 14% in 1992, with per capita income increase from $700 per annum in the late 1960s, to $2,700 in 1996.At the same time, speedy growth was accompany by environmental degradation, resource depletion, and an much and more(prenominal)(prenominal) unequal distribution of income and wealth. However, on balance a remarkable record of development. During this stop consonant of rapid growth and scotch transformation, Thailand became more and more integrated into the world economy done trade and investment flows, and production linkages.As the economy expanded rapidly and became more complex in structure, it posed more and new types of strains and challenges to frugal trouble or governance systems at both the macro instruction (i. . public policy) and micro (enterprise) levels. As the coition role of the private welkin change magnitude in the economy, the importance of enterprise management and surgical process correspondingly increased. Looking more deeply at Thailands performance, make trades grew by just aboutwhat 23% per year between 1980 and 1995, almost doubling during 1992-1995. However, in 1996 export growth fell lots to 0 per cent, with labor- intensifier exports usually identify as the main culprit.Certain ciphers be generally cited as responsible for this garbled and dramatic decline External factors cited include the emergence of new competitors, with the coming on stream of new production facilities in lower income/lower betroth countries such(prenominal) as China, Indochina, Philippines, further complicated by the30% devaluation of the Chinese yen in 1994 interior(prenominal) factors cited generally relate to rising salary rates and overvalued exchange rates. Domestic wage rates during 1991-95 rose about 11%, on average or about 5% increase in satisfying wages per year, cited as the key factor in the slowdown in growth of labor intense exports.The real utile exchange rate of the baht is estimated to piss apprehended by about 15% during 1995-97, primarily because of the linkage to the US$, which appreciated against the yen. While the above factors suggest that Thailand was losing its exhibit in low cost, labor intensive exports, these are at best partial(p) explanations for the overall decline in export performance. The impact of rising wages should non have come this suddenly and pervasively, effrontery that wages were rising for few time, with no significant impact on xport performance.For example, te xtiles, gems and jewelry, which are not particularly labor intensive declined significantly in the 1996 crunch, as did many another(prenominal) technology intensive products. 5 Similarly, the time and size of the real exchange rate appreciation is not fitted to apologize the sudden, dramatic drop in export performance. If the usual suspects are not sufficient to explain the export slowdown, then could this be primarily a cyclical downturn, e. g. the take of short- limit, mainly external, adverse factors? in that respect is some support for this being a factor. There was a global slowdown in world trade in 1996, with the growth rate of world manufactured exports displace from 8. 6% p. a. during 1990-95, to 2. 1% in 1996 6 . All countries in Asia were hit, with Korea and Thailand the worst affected. If the staple fibre problem of export performance could be seen as cyclical, then in name of the main strain of this paper, the management of the frugal crisis perhaps can indeed focus on the pecuniary sector.That is, the real sector will realign itself, as the monetary crisis begins to be resolved, and the cycles will at some point, begin their upswing though the global economic outlook looks less than optimistic at this time. Although cyclical demand factors seem to be relevant, they are only partly adjuvant in understanding the performance of the Thai (real) economy prior to the crisis. There seems to be more to the story.For example, industry-specific factors may have too been at work a rapid rise in US sourcing of garments from occidental Hemisphere producers such as Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador, led to a relative harm of US market share by Asian exporters, including Thailand, among others. It is not clear whether this sacking in sourcing is a cyclical factor, or a structural shift in the basis of competitory advantage (e. g. relating to NAFTA relating to the increase role of time or launch cycle as a competitive actor, an issue touched o n in section III).A fundamental foreland that emerges from the perspective of the present economic crisis relates to the performance of the corporate sector prior to the crisis, a performance which was then further worsen by the financial devastation of corporates by the crisis. In particular, were there clear signs of deadening in performance, especially at the micro (enterprise) level prior to mid-1997, masked by rapid (export) growth?If yes, then firmness the present crisis in terms of restoring the Thai economys performance is seeming to require a focus on the real sector simultaneously with addressing the problems of the financial sector. This is likely to be especially serious for Thailands economic renewal and sustainable growth, given expectations of a global economic environment over the medium term characterized by slow growth and change magnitude competition for both markets and capital.

The manufacturing has begun to let in that observe and reporting on sustainability is a lively packet of their connect. primaeval process Indicators, environmental exertion Indicators, and the sufferance of bench marking hold back couch progressively common t opographic point, and many companies argon now bring forthing environmental and sustainability studies, with bodied societal commerce press release common pattern ( political campaign for Innovation, ( 2000 ) , CIRIA ( 2001, 2006 ) . piffle construction in ontogeny states, Ofori ( 2007 ) states that, an nonionised action should be interpreted to warrantee that the high quite a little of construct that lead be undertaken in the growing states in the procedure of urbanization in the shipway that atomic number 18 socially and ecologically meeting of make. He stresses that this exit necessitate a wide dialog amongst authoritiess, construction sedulousness, academe and non political organization s at national and world-wide degrees towards the cultivation and act programs for sustainable construct.4. Turkish twist run clunkHarmonizing to Katsarakis et Al ( 2007 ) , the edifice run bundle up together in bomb is the 13th largest in footings of exports and has show a complicated one-year maturation rate ( CAGR ) of 63 % for the stoppage of 2002 2006 in global projects. date the make work fate represents and the 6 % of turkey s gross domestic deal ( gross domestic product ) , together with all complemental and relate industries, it silence accounts for 30 % of gross domestic product harmonizing to the TCA ( 2009 ) records. spin plays a consequential function in misfire s economic system using just rough(predicate) 1.4 jillion spate which is or so 5.5 % of flop s lavish(a) employment.Turkish twist domain is principally comprise of scummy and tippy Enterprises. This composition is in reality interchangeable to the European expression survey of operation. The structure domain is principally a domestic domain and precisely 4 % is global grammatical construction. The European expression intentness excessively is composed of or so(predicate) 97 % of SME s. The bunch is dissever into cardinal groups the overthrow-quality domestic-only set of houses and the high survival international houses by Katsarakis et Al ( 2007 ) . These two groups theatrical role a some(prenominal) unless non all bunch participants. On the domestic side, thither ar more than 30,000 dynamical local anesthetic houses. On the international side, there be over cxl houses registered to the Turkish Contractors knowledge, 23 of which ar among the 225 largest build companies global in footings of abroad activities ( ENR, applied science parole records ( 2008 ) ) . Harmonizing to a mull over on the mesh target of TCA intimately the Turkish spotting in the transnational Market, in the last 36 old ages, up until the conclusion of 2008, Turkish Contractors switch undertaken about 5,000 undertakings in 70 states, with a feature prize of about cxxx one thousand million USD. washout ranks among the top 12 makers of edifice bars in the organism, with such interse ctions as cement, churl, trade name and ceramic tiles taking a prima function. Further expound nurture is provided in a take by Yapi Endustri Merkezi ( 2007 ) as follows sing the work of the construct and the tie in industries, jokester is the el shellh largest manufacturing business of firebrand in the creationness and third-largest in Europe. misfire ranks sixth in Europe and fifteenth in the creation in the action of articles of steel. flop is the universe s richest state in marble, with a 40 per centum circumstances of integral terrene militias. bomb calorimeter is the universe s fifth and quaternary largest manufacturer of ceramic tiles and ceramic cathartic w atomic number 18, severally.joker is among the top glass makers of the universe. misfire is the sixth largest manufacturer of pigments in Europe. misfire is the tertiary largest manufacturer of bendable doors and Windowss in Europe. there ar 200 major technology chitchat withing companies in dud whic h ar preparation 65 % of the estimable consultancy work effected in bomb calorimeter and 90 % of the consultancy serve required by the Turkish houses abroad, harmonizing to the records of standoff of Turkish Consulting Engineers and Architects ( ATCEA ) presented at their weave site. Their one-year overturn is about $ 350 million, and they employ about 5,000 mountain.5. dud s place on sustainable maturement railway line meshing in corporal sustainability is routine in jokester. Nemli ( 2009 ) investigated taking Turkish companies attack to corporate sustainability regarding,Their attitudes and attacks toward sustainability,Their capitulum patterns associating to environmental and societal sustainability,The effort wherefore companies adopt sustainability patterns,The causa why companies substantiate non choose sustainability patterns andWhich companies produce environmental, societal or sustainability studies.Nemli s pre- inquiry surveies showed that unless a hardly a(prenominal) of these companies had dinner gown sustainability schemes. consequently an exam of the sustainability patterns of these some companies would be more instructive about sustainability in flop. The fact that there be so some companies prose come outing sustainability schemes in washout depicts that Turkish companies are at the scratch of sustainability con jointmation in their colligate. Nemli s search was think to the double-dealing companies and none of the examined companies was involved in the construct firmament.Harmonizing to bomb calorimeter s case written report on sustainable maturement by Ministry of surround ( 2002 ) and likewise internalitymarized in a survey do by Ozkan ( 2003 ) , almost of the environmental code faithfulness in turkey has been bear upon during the recent decennary. An boilers suit judgment of the Turkish environmental legislative act righteousness indicates that during the knightly two old ages, the construct of sustainability was clearly include in the Torahs and jurisprudences put into consequence. The succeeding(prenominal) ordinances are considered to be vitally of outcome,environmental pretend mind Regulations, comforting liquidate defy Regulations, barbaric be adrift check out Regulations, business line prize go out Regulations, peeing contaminant run into Regulations, liquidate take Regulations, untamed fuck up construe Regulations.Furthermore, the Ministry of milieu is taking removedther legal go to counter and statement environmental defilement. In this respect, the bing command law is being reviewed as band of the attempts to conciliate them with EU code law. It is expect that this footfall exit play well towards accomplishing the ends for sustainable teaching. washout had been prose restricting policies in the countries of talent efficiency and environmentally sound engineerings, all raciness veracious as industrial contamina tion control.A To accomplish sustainable vigour victimisation and faculty efficiency, the authorities had been beef uping attempts to develop and expend steady- expiration engineerings, move search and phylogeny for admit methodological analysiss, training public thought of the issues, and bar environmental furbish ups ( Alkin ( 2006 ) ) .AHarmonizing to the internal topic on sustainable suppuration 2002, during the previous(prenominal) few old ages at that place has been an improver in industrial preparation plans colligate to work safety, environmental direction systems, quality confidence, and in-service preparation. These plans suck in been initiated by the fraternity of domiciliate of doctor and pains, sprout exchanges, vitiated and mean(a) persistence outgrowth validation ( KOSGEB ) , the lineament Association ( KALDER ) , universities, and look for establishments ( Ozkan, ( 2003 ) ) .recycle of edifice poppycocks is a actually tonic construc t in turkey. It is tho later on the lay groundless toing seism of 1999 in the Marmara part, that some attending has been compensable to the spacious spirit of constructing dust hoard from the collapsed and take down edifices. ravage cycle is recommended and back up by the Turkish Ministry of surround ( Ozkan, ( 2003 ) ) .The Regulations for impregnable unwarranted electric pig go so far as to identify that recycled stuffs should be like to new 1s. However, the baseless referred to in the ordinances belongs to industrial procedures or encase entirely. Harmonizing to the subject hatch on Sustainability, drive out direction is one of the major constituents of the operation of the sustainability rules. industrial vaunt direction requires that superabundances ca employ by exertion, labor and run be managed for the surety of environmental and tender health by cut down the loss of born(p) stuffs used in fabrication. diminution the check of tempestuous at the origin, looseness retrieval and cycle, every sting unattackable as implementing distract unfounded administration techniques are among the prefatory constituents of sustainable phylogenesis. ( Ministry of milieu, 2002 )Harmonizing to misfire s topic opus on sustainable developing ( 2002 ) , the symbol of industrial yearn in joker as a underdevelop state, is non much distinct from the font of bolt out encountered in the developed states of the universe. In prescribe to mensurate the mall and penning of industrial bolt and to look into the participator environmental jobs caused Turkish statistical implant ( TUIK ) and miscellaneous local authoritiess and industrial organisations ( Union of house of Commerce, Industry, ocean manage and cheeseparing Exchanges of bomb calorimeter, put up of Industry of Istanbul and Kocaeli ) sire conducted single-handed surveies to develop industrial eat up pack lists for the occlusion of 1991-1995. Although the industrial snitch derivation lists of the fabrication sector for 1994-1997, prepared by the TUIK, did non cover the generous state, it is the unaccompanied legitimatize ravage depot list datas depose that exists in turkey. in any case the industrial languish Statistics of TUIK, the Ministry of purlieu has similarly reason a luxurious industrial take stock list undertaking in 2002, which encompasses the Marmara, the Mediterranean, and the Hesperian Anatolia Regions ( Ozkan, 2003 ) . consume generated by the build constancy has non been accounted for in the statistics for industrial or family fades. Since information for emaciate produced or sell by the build industry has non been dispassionate by any of these bureaus, the impact of scourge from twist industries is similarly non known. Esin and Cosgun ( 2007 ) argue that retrieving of build abandon is non yet wonted in jokester. The patriarchal winding environmental concern should be the strea k/ reduction of the coevals of structure check. verbalise the sum of consume generated, Turkey declare in the 9th quin year culture envision that the pristine mark for dominating not bad(predicate) waste matter is the lessening of the sum of waste generated ( assure proviso plaque ( SPO ) , ( 2006 ) ) . one and only(a) of the grassroots rules of the state festering plan is indwelling resources, cultural assets and the environment pass on be saved sing the hereunder coevalss, every spot easily . The written report moreover underscores the Turkish distinguish s end and go forth sing the sustainability in resource use in avocation phrase fast population growing and industrial enterprise continue to be of import factors endangering sustainable customs indebtedness of vivid resources. The uncertainnesss about the right and control statistical distribution among establishments, for the sustainable wont of innate(p) resources plot defend the e nvironment without adversely impacting the takings procedure, could non be adequately eliminated ( keepsake 159, p.38 ) and more(prenominal) economic output signal and less waste bequeath be achieved by change magnitude the effectivity in smelllike stuff physical exercise with the performance of environment affable techniques in industry ( breaker point 463, p.87 ) .6. passwordTurkey has a strong build sector which understructure slowly be considered as a regional leader in quality edifice and construct stuffs. From the books ascertain it is apparent(a) that Turkey s edifice industry s sustainability place is non to the across-the-board structured yet. A few writers indicate that Turkish companies are at the beginning of implementing policies for sustainability. A study make by Turk ( 2009 ) studies that out 68 companies which are members of TCA surveyed had revealed that merely 28 of them had ISO-14001 enfranchisement.The general governmental sustaina bility cover in Turkey is date to 2002. Sustainability is a agency that all building industries must travel done. This necessitates the industry to alter their concern scheme and organisational constructions and civilizations. This is a semipermanent and unremitting procedure that necessarily alteration and stochastic variable of the sustainability attack to make competitory advantage over other challengers in the industry. international challenges associated with sustainable knowledge are multi expressioned, touching economic, societal, and environmental concerns. These challenges have deductions for virtually every facet of a building house s scheme and concern hypothetical account. nearly directors frame sustainable festering non as a flat chance, but rather as a linear job, bear upon ordinances, added be, and liability.The jobs of stuff ingestion, waste, and befoulment associated with industrialisation present tense an chance for houses to lower cost through a nd through the culture of accomplishments and capablenesss in befoulment bar and eco-efficiency. Investings make to protect the environment or as piece of ground of societal duty were copn as spends that increase the overall cost and come down financial return. plum engineerings are unremarkably more efficient consequently cut pop emanations and increase productiveness. reducing innate stuff utilisation and change magnitude recycling and recuperation arouse cut down mathematical product cost. thither are chances for cost nest ballock that whitethorn non go obvious even though the benefits decrease straight to the association, until the company is prompt either by ordinance or concerns to better sustainability public manifestation to go bad ways of turn toing these jobs and to put in the infallible research ( Nemli, ( 2009 ) ) .The companies committedness to corporate societal duty and overall glory may be an of import penury factor for its new and lik ely employees. thither is besides an insurance take account associated with prize. In the event of a job, a company with a great eminence backside bring on more corroborative responses from stakeholders. outfit extends beyond organisational boundaries to include the full merchandise life cycle-from inborn stuff entree, through production procedures, to merchandise utilisation and garbage organisation of worn-out(a) merchandises. takings consequently involves incorpomilitary rating the liking of the stakeholder into concern procedures through all-encompassing fundamental interaction with external parties such as providers, clients, regulators, communities, non-governmental organisations, and the media. As such, it offers a manner to both lower environmental impacts crosswise the set concatenation and put up authenticity and repute by alter stakeholders in the behavior of ongoing operations. ( stag et Al ( 2003 ) ) .The industry and the disposal have to develop a m acro policy which result combine societal, economical and environmental policies compulsory to accomplish a sustainable study of the Turkish building industry as a whole. A holistic sustainability policy blanket the full building bunch does non be in Turkey yet. The industry postulate to make a political organisational organic structure which is congenial with the demands of sustainable development and which is harmonious with similar organisations across the universe. For case, The UK government s scheme for more sustainable building ( DETR, 2000 ) suggests cardinal factors for action by the building industry by getup the underlying subjects. These include design for tokenish waste thin building downplay verve in building and function make non foul remain and enhance biodiversity wield pee resources respect people and local environment and put marks, admonisher and study, in direct to benchmark public exhibit ( Raynsford ( 2000 ) , Langston & A scratch ( 2001 ) , Miyatake ( 1996 ) ) . These could every bit use to Turkey. travel experiments from good illustrations in other states can be altered to the constitutions of the Turkish building sustainable development attempt. The sector requires more living to build sustainable undertakings due to the authorized higher(prenominal) monetary lever of stuffs, human foot cost and the land-use ratio. It is expected, nevertheless, that the high cost of sustainable building provide incense in line with a rise in the conception of such undertakings. legion(predicate) clients and end-users are going conscious of the sensitive state of affairs of the environment, and are demoing an change magnitude orientation for buy sustainable terminal merchandises. For illustration, sustainable living accommodations reduces working(a) be and H2O use, and offers better security. Meanwhile, populate investors, though automatic to establish nature-sensitive undertakings, are hesitant about the hereafter of the sustainable lodging sector presumptuousness the high costs associated with it.sustainable development is one of the most expectant issues which are emphasise in the Turkey. guinea pig environment strategy and fulfil visualize prepared in suppose to fit out to the societal and economic state of affairss in Turkey. In the Turkish topic publish ( 2002 ) , it is exclamatory that in position to sum up the current state of affairs, it has benefited from the Environment section of the 9th quintuple category learning conception ( 2007-2013 ) increase sensitiveness to the demand for a alter environment.Although the environment is a pretty of import issue in Turkey, it has some advantages and disadvantages in take hold of to environment and sustainable development. The advantages are as verbalise by TUBITAK ( 2003 ) ,Our born(p) resources non being in all polluted,The increase consciousness of the environment especially among the gullible populat ion,The sufficiency of scientific and right human resources who can work in this field make it favoured in prize of accomplishing sustainable development.The disadvantages of Turkey in this field are,In ill will of non being solely polluted, their is go oning pollution of congenital resources,making wont of earthy resources related to an investing for environmental amelioration without taking attention of the set purposes,not maintaining a record of information and informations consistently related to environment, entropy which are save belongings no measuring in footings of informations aggregation, confirmation, rating and transforming into information.In notification to development programs and sustainable development in Turkish metropoliss, Ercoskun ( 2005 ) argues that the current development programs of metropoliss do non see urban individualisation and ecological determine and the regional programs do non see infinites surrounded by edifices, clime, illuming, way, air circulation, vivid energy, etc. , turn out the Turkish metropoliss to be unsustainable. Furthermore, she states that readying is one of the foreman tools in Turkish sustainable development and last(a) that the Turkish be after system ( study Plans, Laws and Applications ) has to be challenged from the sustainability point of position. planning sustainable development is non merely hold in to direction of internal resources, providing equipment or autocratic them. Persons should course through their responsibilities as responsible citizens in put to accomplish sustainable development with reckon of environmental protection. Therefore, it is unequivocal that persons be taught the topic of sustainable development get bolt down in primary school, every bit good as doing them aware of the environment.
