Six Sigma Complete Introduction Six sigma entails a set of tools and techniques that can be used by organizations to streamline their production processes. At its core, the technique is fairly simple. Six sigma uses a data-driven approach to eliminate defects while at the same time increasing performance and profitability. It is worth noting that six sigma can be used in different kinds of settings. That is, it does not matter whether the tools are being used in a manufacturing or a business process. While the metrics may differ from process to process, the principle behind each process remains the same. The six sigma technique contains different tools that are used in the decision-making process. Each decision arrived at every section is used in the formulation of the right conclusion. One of the essential tools in the six sigma technique is the basic project information. Other equally important sections within the six sigma technique include the measurement section, analysis section, and control plan section. This essay will examine the different sections of a six sigma technique and how it can…

Social and Professional Networking in Campuses One of the ways in which campus students create professional and social networks is through using part-time jobs and internships. According to Hora (2019), internships have been crucial in establishing the quality of student’s performance based on what he/she had learned in class. In essence, internships give university students a chance to interact with the out of the class environment. It is this during this period that a student can create a solid, professional network with the new associates one interacts with during the internship program. As Hora (2019) further suggests, apart from fostering a student’s personal growth, the internship has been on the forefront in facilitating student professional growth. Internships have been termed as a transformative experience in a student’s life. Students are able to be socialized and introduced into a new professional culture and as a result, able to develop a new pre-professional identity. In the course of the internship program, students are able to draw their self-identity basing on the new information they come across in the workplace. Students are able…

Reading Response Question What can we learn from the primary sources about the conditions of life for Jews and Christians under Muslim rule? What argument do you think Cohen makes about the position of Jews living under other religious groups during the Middle Ages?     As we see from the events that occurred to the Jews, the wrath, and torture of the Populace, it is evident that their life was not easy as they lived in fear of death from the large population. However, the efforts made by just leaders like the Al-Hakim soften their hearts, and they lived to praise him. “…and ask for abundant blessing upon our lord and Caliph.” However, we see that even after the conquest, the Jews and Christians retained their post as leaders but were under the supervision of Muslim rulers. It is also clear from the Pact of Umar that the Jews and Christian were not that much favored because the Pact was suppressing them. As we see, the Pact was written by Muslims but in the Jews and Christians’ place to make…

Microbes             Firstly microbes are seen as harmful, disease and disease-causing, but in the real sense, only a few bacteria are dangerous (Dussud, Hudec, George, Fabre, Higgs, Bruzaud, & Cheng, 2018). The majority of the bacteria are good, and without then, life on earth would be impossible. Notably, bacteria help in degrading dead animals and plants hence bringing valuable nutrients back to the earth (Dussud et al., 2018). Moreover, some bacteria help in cleaning harmful pollutants out of the environment through bioremediation. Through remediation, heavy metals and petroleum become less harmful to the environment.  Therefore, a microbe can be used in various ways that are helpful and can improve the environment.  For instance, I would use microbes to produce fermented food in the beer and wine industry. For example, I would use yeast to produce beer and wine and for leavening bread (Todar, 2020). I would also use lactic acid in making yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, and other fermented milk products. Marine algae can digest plastic with the help of bacterial enzymes (Dussud et al., 2018). The enzyme helps the…

Fingerprinting When I read the title of the article, I asked myself, “What is ‘fingerprinting’ of food stamps?” As an international student, I have a relatively humble notion of America. As a forensic graduate student, I wondered whether the word “fingerprinting” made the topic relevant to my field of study. But it turns out it is not. After reading the article, I asked Alexa is she knew anything about the topic, and the information she gave me about the food stamp program was very helpful. Now I understand that the food stamp is an assistance program for providing food for individuals and families with low-income. The federal government subsidizes the program. I believe that my country has a similar program to enhance the welfare and health of the population. These programs are playing an important role in changing people’s lives. However, there are some obstacles to applying for these assistance programs. According to the article, fingerprinting affects the processing of the application for a majority of people.  But I have learned that the fingering part was designed to protect the…

Man’s products are transformed into the world Berger,(3) says that society is an enterprise of world-building and Religion is part of it. He also adds that society and humankind have a symbiotic relationship. Society cannot exist without men and men are a product of society. In religion, society existed before man and it remains even after the death of men. The notation that humans create culture and culture, in turn, shapes humans is true since; within the society, social processes shape an individual and gives him a sense of identity. Three fundamental steps help us understand society. These include Externalization, Objectivation, and Internalization. Externalization is the process by which human beings both mentally and physically are socially built by outpouring them into the world. Human beings cannot conceive and develop into a different society apart from the world they currently leave in. The human condition is determined by our inbuilt instability which also determines our relationship to our body. Man must, therefore, create a relationship with the world and in turn, create himself (Berger,6). In this step, man’s products are…

RACISM AND RESEARCH The main discussion of the study The study was supported by the federal government regarding the development of syphilis among poor African American males who reside in Alabama. The purpose of the research was to examine the natural cause of the untreated latent syphilis in African American men in Tuskegee in Alabama (Brandt, 1978).  The respondents who had syphilis when they were registered in the research opposing the urban myth that indicates that black men in Alabama were vaccinated with a virus that causes syphilis. Also, in the study, the subjects were given false promises of “special free treatment” that were essentially spinal taps dome without anesthesia.   Results and consequences of the study   Some people and their families were not compensated following the court order of allocation of four years and six months. Also, at the end of this time, 17 participants were not found which means that these men and their families did not get anything equal to the suffering that they endured.  There were no apologies from the research institution of medical happened…

Define Religion according to Geertz According to Geertz (97) religion is a cultural system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing these conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic. He uses the word symbol to refer to a majority of things that are related to culture. For example,  he uses symbols to show conventional signs of some cultural believes like when one waves a white flag or a white handkerchief, it is believed to be a sign of peace or surrender. These cultural acts are social events like any other. In his arguments, he views culture as a model that establishes pervasiveness and powerfulness in men by inducing motivation and moods in them. Through motivation, men experience a certain tendency to perform certain acts in certain situations. For instance, when we say men are religious, it is not about their acts or feelings, but the obligations that push them to behave in certain…

Roman Republic PART A Virgil’s Aeneid was written between 29 and 19 B.C. It tells the story of a legend called Aeneas, a man from Troy, who traveled to Italy, and from whom all Romans originated. The story begins in the Mediterranean Sea. Aeneas and other Trojans are fleeing from Troy, their home, which has fallen to the Greeks. They go to Italy, where Aeneas founds Rome. Aeneas narrates the tale of Troy and how it finished the Trojan War after a decade of Greek occupation. The 509 B.C Roman Republic had certain distinct features. Aristocrats in society were referred to as patricians. The most lucrative administrative positions were held by two leaders, or consuls, the leaders of the Roman Republic. These consuls were elected by a senate of patricians. At the time, plebeians, or low-class persons, had practically no voice in the government. Citizenship in the Roman Republic was revered legal and political status given to free persons only, with regards to governance, property, and laws. Free men in the Roman Republic enjoyed a vast scope of protections and…

Racial Profiling Diversity is an inevitable attribute among the human race. With it, diversity conflict comes about. This is brought about by the different points of view, culture, skin tone, language, and so forth among these individuals. As such, there has been an issue with how the apparatus of the state (police officers), enforce the law with regard to the difference in their racial origin. Thus, when police officers decide to be stereotypical when viewing characteristics such as ethnicity, race, national origin, or religion as an indicator of criminal behavior, it can be referred to as racial profiling. This practice is usually used by law enforcers to target specific crimes or individuals that are suspected of committing such crimes. The issue of racial profiling usually comes about due to the unethical and immoral ideals and beliefs in action. It violates the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution (White, 2019). For instance, the Fourth Amendment indicates that an American citizen has the right to be secure in their persons against unreasonable searches without probable cause. The Fourteenth Amendment indicates…
