Sexual harassment in the workplace. Name Institution Sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment can be thought to be sexual behavior directed towards someone, and this behavior is unwelcoming, humiliating, intimidating, offensive, or degrading in nature.

POVERTY AND DISCRIMINATION Modern society tends to discriminate against the poor people from the wealthy since it is believed that their laziness causes the low state. Forbes, an article in the United States, carefully notes that familiar retailers continue to acquire wealth even amid the Corona Virus Pandemic period, and the Investors and consumers are winning. Within a few days after America began issuing guidelines on solitary, the peddle scenery began undergoing a basaltic alteration. Customers felt so much worried about the lockdown statement and began shopping in bulk. For instance, they populated retail shops of tissue paper, cleanser, and even conserved water. The Amazon, then devastated by a colossal boost in computations, were stumbled. The consignment was deferred and freights of luxury articles. As this happened, the sad part was that the poor people were never considered to require the same needs. The article reports that the retailers could even increase the prices of their commodities and the result could just be increased poverty. Despite acceptance in the one thousandth anniversary Declaration of the significance of human freedom, equity,…
Induction Programme An induction programme is a process used within an organization to welcome new employees to the company and prepare them for their new role. It helps in the integration of employees into the organization. The induction programme should have the following essential parts: Welcoming the employees to the organization. It should begin with a welcome to the organization by giving context to the organization as a whole. It should give extra attention to the sections on organization values and current organizational goals. These two sections relate to employee behaviors, making it crucial right from the beginning. Detailing the working spirit in the organization It should give context to the employee’s day to day routines. Start with a session or module on-site access, followed by a section or module from the Human Resource team covering the common Human Resource issues and processes.

Home is so Sad Home is so Sad is Philip Larkin’s poem is a poem addressing various issues such as the theme of home, separation, solitude, and loss. The poet describes how a home can be sad when people have deserted it. Normally, home is regarded as warm and sweet. However, Larkin tries to bring out when a home is deserted; it is no longer associated with warmth as sweetness. When there is no family, soul, or heart in a home, it loses its meaning of being home, and everything becomes sad. Larkin has carefully chosen words in the poem carefully to pass his message across. For instance, in the third stanza, she uses the word “wither” to show how, when the house is left, it longs to serve its purpose of a home. Larkin says, “Of anyone to please, it withers so…” (Larkin 4 Home is so Sad). The word “withers” means that a plant that was alive becomes dry. In the context of the poem, the once alive is not alive because it has no inhabitants (it withered).…
Process of going through acid-base titration. Aim Compute properties of the solution Analyze and interpret data Create a powerpoint presentation Introduction For one to determine the unknown concentration of an acid or base through neutralizing it with an acid or base of known concentration, we use the acid-base titration method. The reaction between an acid and a base to produce salt and neutralized base is known as neutralization .an acid whose conjugate base is much weaker than water is referred to as a strong acid. Strong acid dissociates completely in water to yield one hydrogen ions and a conjugate base. During titration, the concentration of substances in a solution is determined by adding amounts of other substances .the process continues until the endpoint when the colour of indicator changes. In calculating relative reactants and products in a chemical reaction, we apply the principle of stoichiometry. Basic chemical compounds that deprotonate weak acids in the acid-base reaction is known as a strong base. Sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxides are examples or a strong base. Phenolphthalein indicator is used when performing a…
case study A recent case study conducted by Flone Initiative on women’s travel patterns in Nairobi, Kenya, shows that women use public transportation more often than men, and take more trips per day than men. Despite their dependence on public transport, a significant number of female commuters said that they either change their travel patterns or refuse to travel due to safety concerns. Threats and acts of sexual harassment are a constant challenge. Violence against women and girls, or the threat of violence both in private and public, remains a limiting factor to women’s mobility and engagement in the processes of development. As Africa develops, it is imperative to create a safe, healthy, and accommodating public transportation system that can support the free and full movement of all. Flone Initiative believes that one of the essential ingredients to accomplishing this is facilitating the recruitment, retention and promotion of women as workers in the transportation industry at all levels (mechanics, conductors, drivers, owners, managers, investors etc.) Secondly, another rapid assessment conducted by Flone Initiative in Nairobi Metropolitan area established…

My career goals are fresh, and this scholarship will be a breakthrough in helping me to achieve them. I wrote a thesis in my undergraduate studies, and my supervisors were satisfied with my performance. I need a platform to apply the skills I acquired during my undergraduate project as I used mathematical concepts and the scholarship will help me access…
Goals Goals are the aims and the objectives that an individual or a group, or any other form of an organization that one wishes to achieve. Goals are generally everything that all wishes to accomplish in life before passing on. They are usually excellent and are imagined; however, there are struggles and strife that one has to go through to achieve the targeted goals. Many do not complete the goals they set in life for various reasons such as lack of funds, monotony, and boredom, lack of proper strategies towards achieving the goals. Therefore, it is the reason why individuals seek various assistance from the experts in the field of goal setting enables the achievement of the goals in life. As the name suggests, a smart plan is, therefore, the guide to the location of the objective. The acronym, therefore, stands for the specific measurable, achievable, and well stated realistic goals.
