Conflict of Interest Meaning of Conflict of Interest Segal (2019) describes conflict of interest as “a situation that occurs when an individual or an entity becomes unreliable because of a clash between self-serving or personal interests and personal responsibilities or duties. Conflicts of interest occur when individuals or companies have vested interests such as reputation, money, relationships, knowledge, or status, which can lead them to be biased in their judgment, actions, or decision making (Segal, 2019). Article Summary In this article titled “Conflicts of Interests in business: A review of the concept,” Dragomir (2017) observes that conflicts of interests are a threat to the reputation, integrity, and efficiency of companies. He argues that people enter into conflicts of interest because of three main reasons: a) because of self-interests, b) because of ignorance, and c) when conflicts of interest are a social norm or a common practice (Dragomir, 2017). The author proceeds to state that “self-interest is an automatic response,” which can be avoided by weighing benefits and costs. Refraining from using company resources for individual gains is a difficult, calculated…

Is access to technology worth the potential loss of privacy? In recent, technology has significantly advanced. The effects and benefits of technology are way numerous to be ignored. There have been numerous technological advancements and developments in the past years. Traditional concepts of privacy, such as communications, should be kept private are being challenged by technological developments and advancements. Additionally, the basic concept of being in charge of their personal information and having a say before the information is handed out to third parties is impossible to execute as confidential information is collected, processed, shared, and stored at extreme speeds and volumes through unauthorized techniques. The collection is done through the internet of things that are incorporated into electronics, software, and sensors, thus sharing personal information is unavoidable when using modern technology. The use of new technology has significantly improved many aspects of life, ranging from communication to agriculture. The world has turned into a global village through the World Wide Web, abbreviated as www. Data from every part of the world has is accessible on the internet, such as…

American Cinema The direction of filmmaking business in the US has undergone a tone of changes since the early ages to date. The United States v Paramount pictures case and Hollywood blacklist were the primary cause for significant changes in the industry. The changes were effected as a result of the near-monopoly that was conducted by the notable people in the film making industry. Great and selected actors and directors were being given exclusive contracts that restricted the movies they filmed in. They were to be loyal to those specific managers contracting them; their work was generally limited to what was assigned to them. The goons also controlled the movies that were displayed in independent theaters. This was restricting what gets to people’s screens and the film they choose to see. They even owned the companies that premiered theatres. Due to this change was necessary to this industry to promote a fair working condition for the US citizens. The United States v Paramount pictures case was ruled in favor of the government. It meant the film industry was set free…

NAEP Analytical Paper Analysis of reading over the years reveals that it continues to lag behind as opposed to the set expectations. It has been attributed to several factors that seem to crop up day in day out. They include challenges posed by management, like setting up general standards that are expected to be followed by all students. Some schools have their teachers working too many roles that reading is given minimal time. Inadequate time to design curriculums results in a backlog in reading. The inability to identify diversity in schools by the system contributes to poor translation. To ensure improved reading in students, management should prescribe a curriculum that is friendly to all types of students; teachers should be allocated roles that are enough for them. Curriculum design should be assigned maximum time, and schools should recognize diversity in their curriculum set up. The paper aims to analyses challenges that hinder proper reading outcomes in students and ways to solve the challenges. The school management has turned out to be a significant challenge in achieving the right reading outcomes…

Presentation Aids Various types of presentation guides have been designed to bring out a proper presentation during public speaking. They include the use of stuff, use of posters and flip charts, multimedia ports, use of audios, and video. Stuff could consist of the use of objects or pictures or life-size models. Flip charts are created through PowerPoint presentations. Audios and videos can be made by using digital devices such as cameras and phones. You can also use yourself for performance to produce illustrations. For my persuasive presentation, I will use a poster to present my arguments to the audience. It created by Microsoft PowerPoint and allowed the arrangement of various points on one page. Powerpoint allows different designs that enhance its beauty hence attractive to the eyes.  It captures all my points in one document capturing the audience’s attention. It allows for the points to stick in the mind of the audience as I will use a font size that allows clear visuals. A poster allows me to make some short notes at the bottom that can only be visible…

Clinical Evaluations From the patient analysis, I came up with both pertinent positive and negative findings. The positive findings include the presence of shortness of breath, the production of a wheezing sound, the fact that she has been hospitalized for asthma four times, and the presence of disease in her family history from both the mum and the dad. The negative findings include the no recorded history of drug use; she is unsure of her grandparent’s disease history. I would like to know the relationship she shares with her parents, given that she is the only child and seems not to have a good relationship with the grandparents. I would also like to know how her performance at school is like and how often she does exercise (Berliner et al., 2016). Based on my findings, the girl could have either asthma, acute respiratory distress, or congestive heart failure disease. All of the diseases make the victims suffer from shortness of breath. It is likely to be asthma because she already has a history of it (Abuel-Reesh, 2017). It is likely…

Adolescent Contraception Q 1 I would take into consideration the age of the girl and assess the reason she wants to start using the pill as she notes she had not been sexually active before. Her age depicts she is a teenager, and it is clear she is sexually active. I will consider the number of partners the girl has, which in this case, is one boyfriend. Furthermore, I would assess the willingness of both parties to engage in this, the girl and her boyfriend. I will go ahead to consider the fact that the girl is already sexually active as she reports having done it twice without protection. I will check on her cycle pattern, whether regular or regular, to help in my analysis (Fridgen et al., 2017). I will also check on her relationship with her parents and the two siblings she has.  I will consider her medical history, and she notes she has not had any gynecological or medical issues. I will check on her school life too. Q 2 The girl has the intention to protect…

Theoretical Framework To enable the faulty to attain the ability to focus on efforts on employing master instructions and creating an active participatory learning experience for students, I will incorporate the four major learning theories. They include the behavioral, cognitive, and the constructivism and connectivism. The theories help institutions achieve the set goals which constitutes of achieving superior academic outcomes, creation of a model for sustainable advantage and developing a high performing team. Furthermore, it ensures the fostering of advocacy by students and promotes transformational growth. The theories work hand in hand to better the outcomes of the institution. The behaviourism theory outlines that an individual’s behaviour is based on what his body is conditioned to basing on the outside environment. It is as a result of interaction     with the environment that our bodies are conditioned. In consideration of this, tutors should expose learners to an academic environment. An academic environment that allows students to be free with their tutors to encourage great consultation. It motivates other students to follow suit and get engaged in their study for better performance.…

Power of the Holy Quran Prior to learning this course, I had very little knowledge concerning other religious beliefs. I had formed opinions about them, which have been proven wrong by the class. I have found out that religious beliefs, despite the people following it, are all aimed at shaping an individual’s behaviour and stipulating guidelines on how to handle life issues. The Muslim religion, which is guided by the Quran, has not been any exemption. Their Quran teaches on the way of life and behaviour to portray, including their dress codes and different roles of every gender in the society. Furthermore, it outlines attributes that guide their behaviour as they interact, which is exemplary. I have learned that Muslim teachings promote the use of decent speech as they portray information. It has been depicted from the Quran 23:1-4, “Successful indeed are the believers who are humble in their prayers and who show vain conversations, and who are active in deeds of charity.” The verse outlines the goodness of using decent language in daily life conversations. It has changed my…
