...Havard model HRM is generally considered to be either Hard or Soft where hard HRM is quantitative, calculative and treats people as a factor of production (an object). Soft HRM on the other hand draws from the Human Resource school of thought which treats people as strategic resources who can provide an organisation with strategic flexibility through being committed, innovative and working in a team so as to achieve a competitive advantage. The Harvard Model is considered to be more soft in nature because it views individuals as potential assets or human assets rather than variable costs. [pic] The Harvard map of HRM A large part of this section in Human Resource Management, 4th edition is devoted to the Harvard 'map' of HRM. This is probably the most seminal model of HRM and has had a major influence on academic debate on the subject. 'We noted that the Harvard Business School generated one of the most influential models of HRM. The Harvard interpretation sees employees as resources. However, they are viewed as being fundamentally different from other resources - they cannot be managed in the same way. The stress is on people as human resources. The Harvard approach recognizes an element of mutuality in all businesses, a concept with parallels in Japanese people management, as we observed earlier. Employees are significant stakeholders in an organization. They have their own needs and concerns along with other groups such as shareholders and customers.' The Harvard...

...Background Lembaga Tabung Haji – TH (Pilgrims Fund Board) was established as a premiere economic-based Islamic financial institution inspired with a realization to help provide investment services and opportunities while managing pilgrimage activities for the Malaysian Muslim community. TH was meant to play a bigger social role, thus in addition to managing pilgrimage activities, it operates as an alternative institutional body providing investment opportunities for Islamic depositors to save and invest in accordance to Islamic principles. Depositors' money is invested in selected investment establishments spread across a diverse range of investment portfolios based strictly on Syariah principles to preserve the purity and integrity of profits derived which is free from "riba"elements and to avoid trading in prohibited ‘haram' products. The fund board was established in 1962 as a modest proposal to aid the Malayan rural economy and to enable the Muslims to perform 'Hajj', one of the tenets of their faith. Today TH is one of the greatest cooperative success stories in Malaysia. Its basic principles, structured by the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz who was then an economic lecturer and later became the Vice Chancellor of the University Malaya, remain unchanged, but the institution has developed beyond imagination. In the early days, Islamic community in Malaysia resorted to rather unsystematic and traditional methods when it comes to saving their money for the purpose of performing...

...This essay will attempt to show you strategies for incorporating bi-cultural approaches into my field of practice in the drug and alcohol sector. The key points I have covered include: Partnership, culture history, building rapport with a client, body language, protection, Te Whare Tapa Wha, participation and kanui to kanui. The primary basic for biculturalism in New Zealand is the Treaty of Waitangi a historical document of agreement signed between Maori and the Crown in 1840. The Treaty of Waitangi can provide all New Zealanders, especially those seeking equity, with clear guidance and support to reflect the three Treaty principles of partnership, protection, and participation. In the New Zealand Association of Counselors code of ethics they make mention to the Treaty of Waitangi. “Counselors shall seek to be inform about the meaning and implications of the Treaty of Waitangi for their work. They shall understand the principles of protection, participation and partnership with Maori” I feel that protection, participation and partnership should be the keys things that I look at when setting up a bi-cultural practice because it is not only about needs but also it is the right that all Maori and Pakeha have guaranteed to them by the virtue of the treaty of Waitangi. First I will look at Partnership this is one of the core values in the code of ethics for counselors. A partnership involves working together with all cultures, understanding differences, working together...

Though the inside of the house is still fairly sophisticated and rich, the outside is broken down and tarnished. All this, along with the store on the house’s ground floor, makes the Yacoubian house one where many different layers of society meet and interact daily. This provides an ideal setting to chronicle social history and analyze social interactions. Al-Aswani chronicles this social history and these interactions by analyzing the symbolism and role of the house itself as well as the lives of its residents. The first resident I will look at in detail is Taha el...

...This essay analyzes Hauora issues of Maori people in New Zealand, providing the most fundamental and crucial elements and moments of its continuous effects from the colonial era until now. In this essay I mainly discuss about the issues of the Maori health before colonization, during colonization, and after colonization. I had used the different methods of research to analyze the data for the issues of Maori health. The research methods used are complete online research method text, course resources and reading and analyzing data from different books as literary review. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to locate relevant information on Maori health. The review formed the body of work on which this essay was based. The literature search was limited to work published between 1900 and 2010 in six subject areas: Maori health in early 1900 till present day, Maori concepts and models, Maori health models, Maori and disability, Treaty of Waitangi and Maori health. The databases searched included all of the New Zealand university library catalogues, the City Library and Google Scholar. Sources that appeared to be relevant were entered into the Reference. In 1769 James Cook concluded that Maori were healthy race .Prior to settlement by Europeans, Maori had been protected from many illnesses because of New Zealand’s Isolation from the large population centers of the world. Now a day’s Maori are recognized as being over represented statistically in poor health issues...

...King Tutankhamen’s Tomb: A Mummy‘s Curse 24 July 2014 Humanities Strayer University Do curses really exist? Louis Sachar stated, “A lot of people don't believe in curses. A lot of people don't believe in yellow-spotted lizards either, but if one bites you, it doesn't make a difference whether you believe in it or not (Goodreads, 2014).” Many people believe that the death of King Tutankhamen generated a curse. The speculation of the curse originated when people began to die after finding his tomb. The newspapers published the text of the alleged curse: "Death shall come on swift wings to him that toucheth the tomb of a pharaoh” (The Curse of the Mummies, 2014). However, some people do not believe that such a curse exists because there is not enough evidence to support this claim. King Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered by Howard Carter between 1922 and 1923. He and Lord Carnarvon, Carter’s supporter, were the first to enter the tomb. Several weeks after entering King Tut’s tomb, Carnarvon died due to a mosquito bite that led to pneumonia. By 1929, eleven people connected with the discovery of the Tomb had died early and of unnatural causes (The Curse of the Mummies, 2014). This included two of Carnarvon's relatives, Carter's personal secretary, Richard Bethell, and Bethell's father, Lord Westbury (The Curse of the Mummies, 2014). Westbury killed himself by jumping from a building (Howard Carter and the Curse of Tut's Mummy, 2014). This sparked a lot of rumors. It did...

...as something incompatible, playing into a narrative which seeks to present the United States as modern in opposition to Iranian barbarism. The two other films play a much more direct hand into a negative portrayal of Iranian trans life. Both Be Like Others and Ali Hamedani’s BBC report on an Iranian gay mullah use Western formations of gender and sexuality to demarcate correct forms of trans life. For instance, in Hamedani’s interview, Taha, the gay mullah, both iterates and demonstrates a non-compliance with gender norms in his life, openly describing his identification with certain presentations of femininity from a young age. Nevertheless, Hamedani’s narrative voice steers the interview back to homosexuality and religion again and again. Before the video even truly begins, Hamedani’s voice rings over a few scenic shots, stating that “Istanbul is unique in the Muslim world for the tolerance of homosexuality.” The final lines of the video return to a similar message as Hamedani ends with quite the memorable line: “Will Iran ever accept Taha the way he is, or is he too gay to be mullah, and too mullah to be gay?” Not only does the BBC interview refuse to consider Taha’s gender and sexuality as overlapping entities—an overlap which Najmabadi reads as inherently unstable—but Hamedani is also guilty of reifying an anti-Muslim narrative, steeped in the assumption that homophobia is an inherent aspect of both Islam and Iran. Be Like Others similarly produces a narrative which constructs...

...THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER The importance of Islam cannot be understated. It is the first pillar of Islam that the prophet (peace upon him) mentioned after mentioning the testimony of faith, by which one becomes a Muslim. It was made obligatory upon all the prophets and for all the peoples. Allah has declared his obligatory status under majestic circumstances. For example, when Allah spoke directly to Moses, He said, ‘and I have chosen you, so listen to that which is inspired to you. Verify, I am Allah! There is none worthy of worship but I, so worship Me and offer prayer perfectly for my remembrance.’ ( Taha 13-14) Similarly, the prayers were made obligatory upon the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during his ascension to heaven. Furthermore, when Allah praises the believers, such as in the beginning of surah al-Muminoon, one of the first descriptions He states is there adherence to the prayers. Once a man asked the prophet (peace be upon him) about the most virtuous. The prophet (peace be upon him) stated that the most virtuous deed is the prayer. The man asked again and again. The first three times, the prophet (peace be upon him) again answered, ‘The prayer,’ then one of the fourth occasion he stated, ‘Jihad in the way of Allah.’ The importance of prayer is demonstrated in the many of the prophet’s statement. For example, the prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If...
