...witnessed an accident that happened right in front of you, would you drop the something that you are doing to go help? Some people would say yes, and some would say no. There is no right or wrong answer to this, but people think that “yes”, you should drop whatever it is that you are doing and go and help that person or persons that are in trouble. This is the “Bystander Effect”. Psychologists have done studies showing that you as a person, whether or not you should interfere would be determined by on the number of bystanders that were present of the incident. When an emergency situation transpires, witnesses are more than likely going to react a little differently whereas just in an “accident”. The difference between and accident and an emergency is pretty simple and basic, emergency is when somebody would be in desperate need of assistance and an accident is something that didn’t mean to take place or happen. When being involved in a bigger crowd when an emergency takes place, it would mean that no single person would have to take that big of a responsibility. In a series of classic studies, researchers Bibb Latané and John Darley found that the amount of time it takes the participant to take...

...NURS 2010 Project Janice Klein Westerns Governors University Nursing is a profession that has been influenced by nursing pioneers, scholars, government agencies and nursing organizations. Nurses need to develop a professional mission statement that defines our understanding of nursing concepts, our professional strengths and our critical thinking abilities. A. Functional Differences A regulatory agency, such as the Virginia Board of Nursing (VBON), is state government agency that exists solely to enforce the laws that regulate nursing practice. The BON protects the public’s safety and welfare by outlining the standards for safe nursing care, issuing licenses to practice nursing and monitoring compliance to state laws (McDaniel, 2013-14). The BON will investigate complaints of nurses not in compliance with the nurse practice act and will take necessary disciplinary action against nurses found in violation. In addition, BONs approve pre-licensure nursing education programs and oversee the licensure examination of nurses. All health care professionals must pay licensure fees in order to practice legally in their state. These activities assure that the public is cared for by qualified individuals (McDaniel, 2013-14). Professional nursing organizations have the same goal as BONs, to protect the public, however the method by which it is accomplished is functionally different. Nursing organizations are nurses working together to develop professional standards and practices...

...Case Study Analysis : SaSa Presented By : Aashik Francis(01) Anand Chaturvedi(09) Anshul Jain(15) Aysha Hazel(30) Delshya Selvaraj(45) Hareesh Gundeeti(55) Introduction Situation Analysis Sa Sa Cosmetics is a very successful Hong Kong based discount cosmetics retailers. The case describes how Sa Sa became successful, culminating in its IPO in 1997. Since then, however, its fortunes have declined somewhat. Most big companies have faced a crisis period after 10-20 years of their induction. We believe that Sa Sa Cosmetics is passing through a similar phase as these big companies. They lost their core competency in discounted retail stores as many new competitors came up with similar models looking at Sa Sa's success in this field. The case discusses recent initiatives that were undertaken to sustain growth momentum. Sa Sa also undertook some marketing research studies. The research findings appear to confirm that Sa Sa may have some major problems. As 2001 comes to a close, Sa Sa contemplates what else can be done to improve profitability and keep on growing. History Sa Sa cosmetics started on April 1st, 1978 in Hong Kong by husband and wife team Simon and Eleanor Kwok, as a simple cosmetic retailer. Soon they realized that discounted store concept had greater possibilities in cosmetic segment and started selling products at a lower margin than its competitors. The company was able to give big discounts to customers...

...had done over the summer. Some had traveled, some had worked and some had been bored. Soon there was roll call and then assignments. It was time to get on with the studies. The bell rang and it was on to the next classroom. Bob and John hung back a bit watching to see if the new girls were going to be in their next class as well. It turned out they were, so the boys followed closely behind and managed to again take seats beside the new girls. “Hi! Well here we are again. My name is Bob Nason and this is John Edwards, usually called Johnny. And you are Shirley Nolan, right?” “Yes, nice to meet you both and this is my friend, Betty Hanson “Hi guys, nice meeting you,” said Shirley. “Hi. You can call me John or Johnny, whatever. Nice meeting you. Where did you go to school last year?” “We were both at Edina, but our families moved to New Brighton during the summer.” The teacher calls the room to attention. “All right, let's cut the chatter. My name is Mike Brown.” He wrote his name on the blackboard. “That will be Mr. Brown to you, thank you.” All chuckled. “I am also coaching boys basketball this year and we are in need of some new blood in that department so I would like to encourage you guys to come on out and join the team. And girls, I understand we are short of cheerleaders and pom-pom girls so ladies lend a hand. Sign up and cheer our players on to become winners.” Mr. Brown picked up his roll call book. “Okay, sound off as I read your name.” He read each name...

...Man for All Seasons has probably enjoyed more popularity than any other English play since the war. After a run of 320 performances in the West End, it was a great success on Broadway, where it was voted the Best Foreign Play of the Year (1962). Bolt himself wrote the screenplay, cutting out the part of the Common Man, although the director was in favour of keeping him. The film was made in 1966, with Paul Scofield playing Sir Thomas More, as he had on the stage both in London and New York. It won six academy awards and had long seasons in cinemas in many parts of the world. In style, A Man for All Seasons is quite different from any of Bolt’s previous plays, but it represents a continuation of the same line of thinking about behaviour. Cherry was a man who had so completely lost touch with his ideal that he was incapable of seizing a real chance of joining fantasy and reality together by selling the house and buying an orchard. Dean was basically a good man and though he’d turned a blind eye on some of the things going on around him and made certain moral compromises for the sake of climbing the academic ladder, he’d never got completely cut off from the ideal (which is represented partly by astronomy). And the action forces him to a point where he digs his heels in and. shuts his ears to the counsels of opportunism (which are represented partly by Sir Hugo). A Man for All Seasons is a graph on which Bolt plots two curves: the steady rise of an opportunist and the decline of...

... Media 43 Introduction The Walt Disney Company’s cultural products have been a great influence on popular culture since the 1930s and an inspiration for generations all over the world ever since. For many, including myself, the Princes, Princesses and fantastical creatures of Disney’s animated fairy tales have become symbols of their youth. Seeing the films gives rise to a feeling of nostalgia, they become a memento of one’s childhood world. But what kind of world is this? What kind of realities do Disney’s fantastical representations construct? In my thesis, I will analyze a specific element of Disney films: gender roles constructed through the representation of femininity in their animated features. I will study how this representation changes over time: has Disney’s highly criticized construction of gender roles changed over time, and if so, what realities do contemporary Disney discourses construct? I propose to research how femininity is represented in Walt Disney‘s animated features, how this representation changes over time and what kind of effects this has on the...

THESEUS Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace. Four happy days bring in Another moon. But oh, methinks how slow This old moon wanes! She lingers my desires, 5 Like to a stepdame or a dowager Long withering out a young man’s revenue. THESEUS Our wedding day is almost here, my beautiful Hippolyta. We’ll be getting married in four days, on the day of the new moon. But it seems to me that the days are passing too slowly—the old moon is taking too long to fade away! That old, slow moon is keeping me from getting what I want, just like an old widow makes her stepson wait to get his inheritance. HIPPOLYTA Four days will quickly steep themselves in night. Four nights will quickly dream away the time. And then the moon, like to a silver bow 10 New bent in heaven, shall behold the night Of our solemnities. HIPPOLYTA No, you’ll see, four days will quickly turn into four nights. And since we dream at night, time passes quickly then. Finally the new moon, curved like a silver bow in the sky, will look down on our wedding celebration. THESEUS Go, Philostrate, Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments. Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth. Turn melancholy forth to funerals. 15 The pale companion...

...Elements of Drama by: Christina Sheryl L. Sianghio Character Most simply a character is one of the persons who appears in the play, one of the dramatis personae (literally, the persons of the play). In another sense of the term, the treatment of the character is the basic part of the playwright's work. Conventions of the period and the author's personal vision will affect the treatment of character. Most plays contain major characters and minor characters. The delineation and development of major characters is essential to the play; the conflict between Hamlet and Claudius depends upon the character of each. A minor character like Marcellus serves a specific function, to inform Hamlet of the appearance of his father's ghost. Once, that is done, he can depart in peace, for we need not know what sort of person he is or what happens to him. The distinction between major and minor characters is one of degree, as the character of Horatio might illustrate. The distinction between heroes (or heroines) and villains, between good guys and bad guys, between virtue and vice is useful in dealing with certain types of plays, but in many modern plays (and some not so modern) it is difficult to make. Is Gregers Werle in The Wild Duck, for example, a hero or a villain? Another common term in drama is protagonist. Etymologically, it means the first contestant. In the Greek drama, where the term arose, all the parts were played by one, two, or three actors (the more actors, the later the...

...Abstract Brands play a critical role in a firm's international marketing strategy. A coherent international brand architecture is a key component of the firm's overall international marketing strategy as it provides a framework to leverage strong brands into other markets, assimilate acquired brands, and rationalize the firm's international branding strategy. This paper looks at the various components of international brand architecture and the different types of architecture found among a sample of large international consumer goods companies. Based on these initial insights, some key issues that need further research are identified. Introduction Branding is a key element of a firm’s marketing strategy. Strong brands help establish the firm's identity in the market place, and develop a solid customer franchise (Aaker, 1996; Kapferer, 1997; Keller, 1998). Owning the number one or two brand in the product category provides manufacturers withas well as providing a weapon to counter growing retailer power (Barwise and Robertson, 1992). A strong brand name Theycan also provide the basis for brand extensions, which further strengthen the firm's position in the marketplace as well as potentially enhancing the brand’s value (Aaker and Keller, 1990). As firms move into international markets, branding plays an important role in its marketing strategy. In particular, a cautious branding strategy provides a means to enhance the firm’s visibility and integrate strategy across...
