string(80) " the speeches given by each of the eight speakers listed in the previous table\." British parliamentary The British Parliamentary Debate Format Robert Trapp, Willamette University Yang Ge, Dalian Nationalities University A debate format consists of a description of the teams in the debate and the order and times for the speeches that make up that debate. The British Parliamentary debate format[1] differs from many other formats because it involves four teams rather than two. Two teams, called the â€Å"First Proposition† and the â€Å"Second Proposition† teams, are charged with the responsibility of supporting the proposition while two other teams, â€Å"First Opposition† and â€Å"Second Opposition,† are charged with opposing it. We will write a custom essay sample on British Parliamentary or any similar topic only for you Order Now Two speakers represent each of the four teams and each speaker gives a speech of seven minutes. The following chart describes the basic format and time limits. As you will see from the chart, each speaker is given a unique title. British Parliamentary Debate Format Speaker |Time | |Prime Minister |7 minutes | |1st speaker for 1st proposition: | | |Leader of Opposition |7 minutes | |1st speaker for 1st opposition: | | |Deputy Prime Minister |7 minutes | |2nd speaker for 1st proposition: | | |Deputy Leader of Opposition |7 minutes | |2nd speaker for 1st opposition: | | |Member of Government |7 minutes | |1st speaker for 2nd proposition: | | |Member of Opposition |7 minutes | |1st speaker for 2nd opposition: | | |Government Whip |7 inutes | |2nd speaker for 2nd proposition: | | |Opposition Whip |7 minutes | |2nd speaker for 2nd opposition: | | As can be seen from the table above, the first four speeches are delivered by the First Proposition and the First Opposition teams then the last four speeches are delivered by the Second Proposition and Second Opposition teams. Therefore, the First Proposition and First Opposition teams generally are responsible for the first half of the debate and the Second Proposition and Second Opposition teams have the responsibility for the second half. The table above describes all of the formal speeches but it does not describe one of the most important and dynamic parts of the debate: points of information. Points of information provide opportunities for members of each team to interact with members of the teams defending the opposite side of the motion[2]. Points of information can be requested after the first minute of a speech and prior to the last minute of the speech. The first and last minute of each speech is â€Å"protected† against interruption. The point of information can last no more than fifteen seconds and may take the form of a question, a statement, or an argument. Only a debater defending the opposite side of the proposition as the speaker can request a point of information. In other words, the debaters for the proposition can request points of information of members of the opposition teams and vice versa. To request a point of information, a debater rises and politely says something like â€Å"point of information please,† or â€Å"on that point. † The debater giving the speech has the authority to accept or to refuse the request for a point of information. In general, debaters should accept a minimum of two points during their speech so that the judges and the audience will know they are able to answer points quickly and directly. Accepting more than one or two points is not advisable because to do so may have the effect of disrupting the speech. To refuse a point of information, the debater may say something like â€Å"No thank you† or â€Å"not at this time,† or may simply use a hand gesture to indicate the person should take return to their seat. If the request for a point of information is accepted, the person who has requested the point has a maximum of fifteen seconds to make the point. As stated earlier, the point can be a question, a statement, or an argument. Sometimes points of information are made to force an opponent to clarify a position but more commonly, they are made to attempt to undermine an argument being made by the speaker. After accepting a point of information, the speaker should answer the question directly. The person offering the point of information is not allowed to follow-up with additional questions. Points of information are among the most important and most interesting parts of British Parliamentary debate because they introduce an element of spontaneity to the debate and give each debater the chance to demonstrate critical thinking skills. Although points of information are a common occurrence in every speech in the debate, each speech contains elements that are unique to that speech. The following table explains the basic responsibilities of each speaker in British Parliamentary debate. Following the table is a fuller explanation of the responsibilities of each speech.

You read "British Parliamentary" in category "Papers" These are very brief descriptions that will be expanded in later chapters. Prime Minister The deb ate begins with a seven-minute speech by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has two basic responsibilities: to define and interpret the motion and to develop the case for the proposition. The first of these responsibilities is to define and interpret the motion for debate. The definition and interpretation is particularly important because it sets the stage for the entire debate. Remember, the Prime Minster has the right to define the motion and the responsibility to do so in a reasonable fashion. Therefore, if the Prime Minister’s interpretation is a poor one, the likely result will be a poor debate. In order to properly define and interpret the proposition, the Prime Minster should do the following: 1)Define any ambiguous terms in the proposition. )Show how these definitions are reasonable ones. 3)Outline a model that will be used by all teams in advancing the debate. More will be said about these three points in Chapter 5 on constructing a case for the proposition. The second responsibility of the Prime Minister is to construct a case for the proposition. Simply stated, a â€Å"case† consists of one or more arguments supporting the Prime Minister’s interpretation of the motion. Therefore, the Prime Minister will outline the arguments supporting the interpretation and begin to develop each of those arguments. The Prime Minister need not present all of the arguments for the First Proposition team. In many cases, the Prime Minister will state that the First Proposition team will have a certain number of arguments and that some will be presented in this speech and the Deputy Prime Minister will present the rest. Leader of the Opposition The Leader of the Opposition has three primary responsibilities: to accept the definition and interpretation of the proposition, to refute part or all of the Prime Minister’s case, and to present one or more arguments in opposition to the Prime Minister’s interpretation of the motion. First, in most ordinary situations, the Leader of the Opposition should explicitly accept the definition and interpretation of the motion as presented by the Prime Minister. In extraordinary cases, when the definition is completely unreasonable as to preclude meaningful debate, the Leader of the Opposition has the right to reject the definition. The problem with rejecting the definition is that such an action will ultimately lead to a very bad debate and the First Opposition team likely will get the blame. Therefore, even in the event of an unreasonable definition, the Leader of the Opposition should point out to the judge and the audience that the definition and interpretation presented by the Prime Minister is unreasonable and then should go ahead and accept the definition for the purposes of the current debate. Second, the Leader of the Opposition should refute part or all of the Prime Minister’s arguments for the motion. Because of the limits of time, the Leader of Opposition cannot reasonably expect to refute all of the Prime Minister’s arguments. The proper goal is to select and refute the most important arguments presented by the Prime Minister. Finally, the Leader of the Opposition should present one, two, or three arguments directed against the Prime Minister’s interpretation of the motion. These arguments are different from those arguments offered in refutation. They should consist of the most persuasive reasons that the Leader of the Opposition can present to convince the audience to reject the proposition. Deputy Prime Minister The Deputy Prime Minister has three primary obligations: to defend the case presented by the Prime Minister, to refute any independent arguments presented by the Leader of the Opposition, and to add one or more arguments to the case presented by the Prime Minister. First, the Deputy Prime Minister defends the case presented by the Prime Minister by engaging any refutation presented against the case by the Leader of the Opposition. This task needs to be accomplished in a very systematic fashion. The Deputy should take up the Prime Minister’s argument one by one and defend each argument against any refutation by the Leader of the Opposition. Thus, at the end of this section of the Deputy’s speech, the audience should see that the case originally presented by the Prime Minister still stands as strongly as it did when initially presented. Second, the Deputy Prime Minister should refute any of the independent argument presented by the Leader of the Opposition. Like the Leader of Opposition, the Deputy should not try to refute all arguments, just the most important ones. Finally, the Deputy Prime Minster should add one or two arguments to the case presented by the Prime Minister. The reasons for adding new arguments in this speech are two-fold: First, the Prime Minister may not have had adequate time to develop all of the arguments that the First Proposition team wishes to present and second, presenting these additional arguments gives the judges and audience a way to judge the ability of the Deputy Prime Minister with respect to the ability to construct arguments. Deputy Leader of the Opposition The duties of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition are similar to those of the Deputy Prime Minister. The Deputy Leader should 1) defend the refutation offered by the Leader of Opposition, 2) defend the arguments offered by the Leader of the Opposition, and 3) add one or more new arguments to those being offered by the First Proposition team. First, the Deputy Leader should defend the refutation offered by the Leader of the Opposition. The Deputy Prime Minister will have engaged the refutation presented by the Leader of Opposition. At this time, the Deputy Leader needs to show that the original refutation is still sound. Second, the Deputy Leader should defend the arguments presented by the Leader of the Opposition. The task of the Deputy Leader is to make sure that these arguments still stand firm in the mind of the judges and audience. To do so, the Deputy leader needs to consider each argument one by one, engage any refutation offered by the Deputy Prime Minister, and therefore rebuild each argument. Third, the Deputy Leader should present one or more arguments against the proposition. These arguments can be similar to those arguments raised by the Leader of the Opposition, yet they should be new ones to give the judges and audience the ability to judge the Deputy Leader’s argument construction skills. Member of Government The Member of Government initiates the second half of the debate. The Member of Government needs to defend the general direction taken by the First Proposition team but needs to offer a new perspective from the Second Proposition team. In other words, the Member of Government needs to defend the thesis of the First Proposition team while doing so for different reasons. The obligations of the Member of Government can be summarized as follows: 1) Defend the general perspective of the First Proposition team, 2) Continue refuting arguments made by the First Opposition team, 3) Develop one or more new arguments that are different from but consistent with the case offered by the First Proposition team. The first responsibility of the Member of the Government is to defend the general direction of the debate as started by the First Proposition team. In so doing, the Member of Government demonstrates a sense of loyalty to the other debaters defending the proposition. This part of the Member’s speech is important but need not be time consuming. One or two minutes devoted to this aspect of the speech will probably be sufficient. Second, the Member of Government should continue refuting arguments made by the First Opposition team. The Member of Government should not use the same refutation as provided by debaters of the First Proposition team, but should introduce new points of refutation unique to the Second Government team. To the extent possible, the refutation should focus on the arguments presented by the Deputy Leader of the Proposition. Finally, the Member of Government should develop one or more arguments that are different from but consistent with the arguments offered by the Prime Minister. These new arguments sometimes are referred to as an â€Å"extension. † This extension is one of the most important elements of the Member of Government’s case as it provides an opportunity to distinguish the Second Proposition team from the First Proposition while simultaneously remaining consistent with their overall approach. Member of Opposition The Member of Opposition begins the second half of the debate for the Opposition side. Like the Second Proposition team, the goal of the Second Opposition team is to remain consistent with the First Opposition team while presenting a unique perspective of their own. To accomplish this goal, the Member of Opposition needs to fulfill three obligations: 1) Defend the general direction taken by the First Opposition team, 2) Continue the refutation of the case as presented by the First Proposition, 3) Provide more specific refutation of the arguments introduced by the Member of Government, and 4) Present one or more new arguments that are consistent with, yet different from, those presented by the First Opposition team. First, the Member of Opposition should defend the general perspective taken by the First Opposition team. This need not be a time-consuming enterprise, but the Member of Opposition should make clear that the Second Opposition team is being loyal to the arguments of the First Opposition team. Second, the Member of Opposition should briefly continue the refutation of the case presented by the First Proposition team. Again, this continued refutation should be brief and should involve new points of refutation not yet considered by members of the First Opposition team. Third, the Member of Opposition should present more specific refutation of the arguments introduced by the Member of Government. Refutation of the Member of Government’s arguments is an important task because these are completely new arguments supporting the proposition side and have not yet been joined by the opposition side. Finally, the Member of Opposition should present an extension—an argument consistent with, yet different from that presented by the First Opposition team. Like the Government’s extension, this is an important responsibility of the Member of Opposition because it allows the Second Opposition team to show its loyalty to the First Opposition team while clearly differentiating themselves form the First Opposition. Government Whip The whip speakers for both teams have the responsibility to close the debate for their respective sides. The Government Whip should accomplish three goals: 1) Refute the extension offered by the Member of Opposition, 2) Defend the extension offered by the Member of Government, and 3) Summarize the debate from the perspective of the Proposition side. The first responsibility of the Government Whip is to refute the extension offered by the Member of Opposition. This extension has yet to be discussed by the Proposition team and doing so is an important responsibility of the Government Whip. Second, the Government Whip should defend the extension offered by the Member of Government. The Member of Government’s extension is a very important party of the Second Government’s case and in all likelihood has been refuted by the Member of Opposition. Therefore, defending this extension is an important responsibility of the Government Whip. The final, and perhaps most important responsibility of the Government Whip is to summarize the debate from the perspective of the Proposition side. The summary may be accomplished in a number of ways. One of the most effective ways is to identify the most crucial issues in the debate and discuss how each side has dealt with each. The summary should, of course, be made from their side’s perspective while being and appearing to be fair-minded. Similarly, the summary should be fair to the First Proposition team but should focus on the arguments pursued by the Second Proposition team. Opposition Whip The responsibilities of the Opposition Whip are almost identical to those of the Government Whip except they are accomplished from the perspective of the Opposition side rather than from the Proposition side. Again, the Opposition Whip should 1) Refute the extension offered by the Member of Government, 2) Defend the extension offered by the Member of Opposition, and 3) Summarize the debate from the perspective of the Opposition side. The details of this speech are exactly like those of the previous speech except that they focus on the Opposition side of the debate rather than the Proposition side. Once again, the primary goal of this speech is to summarize the debate from the perspective of the Opposition side, particularly from the point of view of the Second Opposition team. This summary should fairly support the Opposition side of the debate while focusing on the accomplishments of the Second Opposition team. Summary This then is the basic format of British Parliamentary debating: four teams of two persons each engage one another through a series of seven-minute speeches interspersed by points of information. The teams from each side attempt to maintain loyalty with one another while simultaneously demonstrating the unique qualities of their own arguments. Much has been introduced here that was not fully developed. Later chapters will further explore issues only mentioned here, issues such as case construction, opposition arguments, points of information, refutation and many others. ———————– [1] British Parliamentary debate sometimes is referred to as Worlds-style debate or simply four-team debate. [2] The topic for the debate is called the motion, proposition, resolution, or sometimes just the debate topic. All of these words are used interchangeably. How to cite British Parliamentary, Papers

Understanding Business And Management Research

Question: Describe about the Understanding Business And Management Research? Answer: Introduction Research methodical approaches are different for the different organization. Inter-organizational collaborations have become an important part of the organizational strategy and to counter with faster business dynamics and risk of uncertainties. The present conditions in the global market have opened the way for using different methodical approaches for analyzing market problems. Research methods include tools like collecting data then filtering them to find the appropriate ones. After that, the correct data are taken from analysis and vague data are trashed out. Different analytical tools and statistical packages are used for derivation and analysis. These techniques help to define the data and derive the full proof analysis of the problems. Research methods are there to make the analysis process more modernize. Modern approaches are helping to define the problems by more practical formulas and statistical packages. Using of graphical representation, diagram, and chart assists in ad ding more dimension to the approach. Statistical packages like SPSS, SAS, advanced Excel, STATA, and R are used to make the analysis more viable and trustworthy. These modern systems have enabled more pathways to interrogate problem cases (Larson-Hall 2015). Literature review of research methodologies 1) First Method (Quantitative) The methods and procedures maintain some rules and regulations in the analysis process. These processes are mainly maintained less plagiarism, procedures to minimize grammatical errors. However, these rules change year after year, but one should be aware when amending the task. The specific aims of methodical analysis are to provide a balanced with on the topic of research. It should be able to provide critical analysis of the research information. A good knowledge of theory and practical are needed for better analysis. The topics related with debate, and general arguments should be discussed in a way that it would reflect in the literature. For masters level project works relevant research method and techniques should be used. The material delivered should be analyzed through qualitative and quantitative methods. The understanding of research reports and the information is needed to improve the quality of the analysis (Liamputtong 2013). Quantitative tools are of enormous importance and instrumental in applying existing management and business theory. Practical problems should be countered by using more data from various authentic sources to make it more trustworthy. The theoretical and practically oriented research adds critical understanding to the body of work of the management task. The methods also include some social activities to promote further awareness to the problem topic. Study and module programs are there to help in further study on the topic of research. The learning outcome must include following models. A proper development of understanding is required for research design. The study should be done in an appropriate manner. Evaluate and justify systemically analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data. Ranges of tools are used to collect information. These instruments are recording, interviewing, reading, collecting data, communication, etc. Skills are also needed to analyze individual problems (Finley 2014). Interpersonal skills: These include skills like readiness to accept responsibility, employee flexibility, openness, etc. Team working: Skills like respecting others, giving proper support to colleagues, contributing to teamwork are included in Team working. Written Skills: Literature knowledge and writing skill are of enormous help in delegating research related tasks. IT Skills: Computer knowledge, knowledge about information technology, familiarity with word processing, spreadsheet, and file management skills is important. Experience in the work environment: Work experience is needed as employees with experience can handle critical tasks more easily than a newcomer. Fresh candidates also need skill enhancement classes, technical support, and skill training sessions to make them aware of the system (Zhu 2014). Numerical Skills: Mathematical knowledge, knowledge about statistics and numerical problem solving in practical contexts are needed to better reinvestment of delivering results. Presentation skills: Ability to deliver the result, approaching clients about their views, co Business awareness: Analyzing facts and situations and applying appropriate solution to counter the problem is needed. A general awareness of the marketplace and the challenges help to minimize problems. There are certain objectives in defining different methodologies used to define problem situations (Pickard 2012). Identify and describe important philosophies that help to analyze business problems and management issues. Outline comparative strengths and weaknesses of the main research methods Evaluate, derive and interpret qualitative data Understand and apply correct statistical packages to perform detailed analysis on quantitative data Present further research-oriented works to help future researchers to understand the depth of the subject matter Critical thinking is needed in verbal and literal form Mainly statisticians to amend any type of analysis use quantitative Methods. They use different statistical packages like STATA, R, SPSS and SAS for analysis. These techniques are perfect for evaluating any problem analysis. The quantitative methods have helped the companies to identify their problems by numerical stats. 2) Second Method (Qualitative) Basic Research Applied Research The purpose is to expand knowledge, using universal principles, relating principles with current problem topic. Significant finding and value analysis in respect to society is also needed. In applied research improved understanding of particular business, related problems are needed. Another key purpose is to look out for result-oriented solutions. Knowledge limited to problems may affect in finding the accurate result, so vast knowledge on the various subject is helpful. Research objective should be to relate the problems in relevance with management and organization. The context of basic research is to undertake result based on people concept. Choice of topic and relevancy of problem should be determined by the researcher. A flexible time scale is also an important aspect in this context. In applied research, the research program is undertaken by people based on the variety of setting included in organization and management. The originator should understand the context of the task. Specific time scales are needed to find in this context. There are four types of research problems can be found. These can be reporting, descriptive, explanatory and predictive. Good research is that where the research has distinguished the set of problems accurately and has clearly defined the symptoms and problems. In a pure research, it is wise to separate clearly the dilemma of research and address the research problem appropriately. The researcher should provide a complete research proposal (Chang-Richards et al. 2012). The research design should be thoroughly done without any mistake. The explanation should be done accordingly to help the audience to understand the construction of problem sample. Sampling methodology and proper data collection are two best procedures to access any difficult problem. There might be some limitations in the analysis, but those need to be told frankly. Frankness shows that the result of the research is trustworthy, and customers can use the result to evaluate the problems. The high ethical standard shoul d be maintained to protect any dissolution in the problem statement of the case. Safeguards are needed to be in place to protect the research results. Some participants, key findings, appropriate clients and validity of the organization should be looked after carefully so that no unethical things arrive. The studys methodology and limitation area should reflect the thought process of the researcher and researcher should give an insight of his thinking in the research paper. It can help the students and readers to see the depth of the problem (Hibbert et al. 2014). Ethics should be there to restrain and concern about the accuracy of the result. An adequate analysis is needed for decision makers to sufficiently analyze the collections of the study. Qualitative methods are mainly theory oriented and specific formulas are followed in analysis purpose. Qualitative methods are concerned about the quality of the analysis. It solely follows to maintain the guidelines when amending the task. The results from the analysis might not be the perfect outcome but it can guaranty about the quality of the task. Third Method (Qualitative + Quantitative) Finding presented unambiguously in the words, tables and graphs. Findings should be logically interpreted. It should logically facilitate research program, and the decision should be taken after mangers evaluation. The conclusion should justify the matched details. Another thing is that researcher should provide own experience and credentials with the report. In research, related topic referencing should be present. Referencing is needed to justify the credential and viability of the findings. It creates a trust factor in the mind of the readers. To assess any problem researcher should use journal articles, books and authentic website sources to help in analyzing the complexity of the problem (Gacula Jr 2013). Theoretical knowledge It is developed by systematic reflection Research knowledge It is manufactured through systematic investigation Practical knowledge It can be developed though taking actions Tools for thinking 1. Concepts 2. Metaphors 3. Models 4. Theories 5. Ideologies 6. Perspectives 7. Assumptions Primary Research tools Secondary research tools Tertiary research tools Reports Theses Conference Emails Company reports Some government journals Unpublished manuscript Journals Books Newspapers Government publications Index Databases Dictionary Bibliography Encyclopedia Catalogues A good review method includes, Explanation Literature should mention and discuss the related problem statements It mentions theoretical ideas and gives further explanations It summarizes previous studies and investigates the current problem statement. Comparison It analyzes previous studies It discusses theoretical ideas mentioned in the pretext of earlier studies Evaluation It demonstrates how the current study fits with previous studies, and it also shows new contributions This process is a mixed procedure followed by the analytic teams for proper analysis. The mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods has been proved as the best method to counter any specific problem. The problem statement analysis and amending the task is a dual responsibility for the statisticians. They are now approaching the task in a mixed manner to enhance the result better than pervious times. Analysis Assumptions Positivism Interpretivism Reality Tangible Socially constructed Research goal Explaining Understanding Knowledge generated General, average and representative Relative meaning Subject research relationship Rigid separation Interactive Focus Average Specific Desired information Should have a particular problem Problems they confront with Method Content analysis Interviews Research design should be made after revaluing these things, Investigate the research problem Attempt to explore the study Explore the objectives Obtain the information Outline procedures for every research activity Guiding the selection of sources Verifying research question The research design is all about, the kind of answers the study is looking for. What techniques have been used. The sampling procedure that is being used, time, and constraints are there to deal with. The design can be classified into four sectors. These are descriptive study and predictive study, cross-selection studies and longitudinal studies (Sderlund et al. 2011). It can further classify into two topical areas; these are statistical studies and case studies. The environmental selection has three perspectives. These are field conditions, laboratory conditions, and simulations (Creswell 2013). Evaluation To evaluate the techniques, there are methods like, Qualitative techniques Elite interviews Primary data Secondary data Surveys Telephonic survey Personal survey Electronic survey Web-based survey Postal survey Focus groups Composition of groups Quality outcomes Two-stage design Exploration Explanation In-depth interviews With students or clients Observation Observing various results and data Descriptive study To answer and to provide accurate account of current state of affairs The main steps in quantitative research Theory Hypotheses Research design Derived measures of concepts Selecting sites for research Selecting respondents Collect data Process data Analyze data Findings Write up findings Findings Concepts are as follows, Building blocks of theory Labels that give elements to social world Categories Useful concepts are, To provide an explanation of a certain aspect of the social world Standing for things, we want to explain Basis for measuring changes and variations To improve response rates to mail questionnaire Good covering letter Mailing Clear instructions Start questions with welcome word Introductory sentence Greetings Open questions Monetary incentives Personalized covering of letter Statistical graphs like histogram, polygon, ogive and pie charts are used for graphical representation. Statistical formulas like Mean, population mean, sample mean, variability, ANOVAs, Range, Variance and central tendency are used for the analysis process. Statistical tools like SPSS are used in this area. IBM has acquired the use of SPSS. It has terms like nominal, Cardinal and scale. Coding is used for each variable to assign numbers. EDA is used to explain and examine descriptive statistics and frequency distribution (De Vaus 2013). Conclusion It can be concluded that use of various methods has helped to analyze any problem more efficiently than previous times. In modern times, many statistical packages have been derived to help the analysis more productive. It has highlighted the importance of using the benefits to good effect. These tools have been precious for keeping the trust factors in the mind of readers and students. Data collection techniques have been a key instrument to collect accurate data from reliable sources to further track down the importance of the problem topic. Research has found since the last decade or so the practical results have been very frequent than previous years. It has stamped a sense of approval for the instruments, which have been used to analyze problematic situations in an organization.

After performing I would sit and talk for hours with the homeless and my elders. The information that I learned from them all was so insightful. One of the homeless I was talking to surprised me when they told me just a few years before they held a manager title at a local restaurant. Everyone I talked to preached the same message to me about staying in school and pursuing a higher education. Those singular moments are still fresh in my mind as of today. I will truly never forget being a member of the organization I was apart of. My group also use to get up early every Saturday morning and cook breakfast for our family and friends with allowed us to bond even more with our families. Just picture every Saturday you would wake up wondering what great breakfast will be prepared for you. It was truly an amazing experience. We also never skipped out on fun either. We always set aside days for our group where we would go bowling play flag football against other organizations, and many more activities. Even when we were cooking or steeping for our elders we always enjoyed ourselves. I also got a chance to tral to many places inside and outside of Mississippi. Many people have experiences they will never forget from traumatic experiences to fun ones. A time in my life I will never forget was when I was apart of the Suave Young Gentlemen. I had the chance to travel, have fun, perform in events, step for elders and the homeless, and learn many life lessons along the way. It was truly an experience I will never forget.

Plastic Surgery Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words - 1

Plastic Surgery - Essay Example This ideal person is usually someone of a mid-20ish age, slender, with specific measurements and a certain good-looking charm. This limited view automatically rejects anyone with a larger bone structure or other ‘defect’ from being socially acceptable. Those who can both afford to purchase the ‘right’ look and who are fortunate enough to be a candidate for surgery are seen to have the ideal life. Their outward appearance automatically indicates they also have wealth, happiness and freedom. However, even for these people, this restricted view of the ideal has several negative effects on the individual as well as society. With so much attention given to the way a person looks on the outside as being the only social measure, there is very little room for internal characteristics to receive their rightful attention. People also spend so much time obsessing about the way they look that there is little time or energy for personal development. This shallow, obsessi ve view can be especially seen in the alarming numbers of teenagers, both male and female, seeking plastic surgery, because it can be potentially harmful to the individual’s psychological nature and physical health, and as it is perpetuated by their role models and peers and encouraged or supported by their parents and elders. As it becomes more socially acceptable, more people are turning to cosmetic surgery to enhance their bodies while they’re still attending high school. They are working to construct the ideal form without giving their bodies a chance to finish growing. Many adolescents (and the parents that allow them to seek these types of surgery) don’t seem to realize that plastic surgery is still surgery. Surgery of any type can have significant physical and physiological risks, especially when performed on bodies that have not yet completed their growth cycle. Although some parents might argue that a child has definitely finished growing, doctors have reported sending

Report - Essay Example Outlets vary in size and complexity with some providing hot meals while others only provide cold provisions. An atmosphere conducive to purchasing is required, allowing time to browse and a quick checkout service. A full range of appropriate foodstuffs needs to be available to cater for all tastes and cultural requirements. There are usually peaks and troughs in customers, with most requiring service at lunchtimes and morning/afternoon breaks. At these times, there needs to be a smooth service for customers allowing fast purchase of the desired items without having to queue for extended periods. There are many ways to show a service and its supporting elements. This report uses the service blueprint (Shostak, 1984). Although the service appears simple, there are several things going on at once, which are more easily seen in a service blueprint. The following blueprint is based on the distinctions described by Bitner et al (2008). This part of customer service operations falls within the tangibles area of the dimensions of service quality and both the physical evidence and backstage activities of the service blueprint. For Sodexo, it includes the layout of the outlet, the placement of things like the drinks machines, chillers and cold cabinets, and the overall look of the outlet. Customers expect a food outlet to be clean and comply with relevant health and safety legislation to ensure that they do not suffer from such things as food poisoning (Tester et al, 2010). In addition, any food spills should be cleaned up immediately to ensure no-one slips over. General hygiene is also a tangible aspect of service quality, even though it is not a physical item. The Sodexo staff do try to keep the catering area clean, but there are occasions when food spills are not cleared up as quickly as they could be, and this could affect consumer confidence when purchasing items for consumption. The delay in cleaning up spillage can be caused by too few staff being
