My Writing Journey Writing may sound easy as it involves putting a pen on a paper and scribbling, but as one gains deep interest, he or she realizes that it requires skills and knowledge to meet the main objective of which is to communicate. Writing is one of the ways used to represent languages with symbols and signs. The write-ups can be transcribed into spoken language and stored for future reference or transmitted to other geographical locations. Writing is not a language but perceived as a tool to convey messages in any readable language of interest. Writing is dependent on many aspects, which are the same as structures of speech such as semantics, grammar, and vocabulary, but the difference is that writing entails signs and symbols. Initially, I had a perception that writing is only meant to present a language using symbols and signs, but later as time elapses, I got exposed to many write-ups that acted as an eye-opener to the writing field that was my passion. I realized that writing entails a lot of aspects other than designing…

Research Master in Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience During my undergraduate studies, I developed a strong interest in cognitive and clinical neuroscience.  I graduated with first-class honors. With this letter, I am applying for a research master’s in cognitive and clinical neuroscience at Maastricht University. My passion for specializing in this field increased after my mother suffered from severe brain bleeding, which caused her to lose multiple body functions. The experience increased my curiosity about the significance of therapies in helping patients to heal and cope with brain impairments. During my visits to the hospital, I learned several techniques such as non-invasive and brain imaging that is useful in detecting brain impairments. Therefore, I developed a passion for studying this program so that I can help other people recover from their conditions. I believe your institution will prepare me to become the best psychologist and help people deal with challenges that are related to cognition. I have efficient research and analytical skills that will help me to write my research proposals during the master’s program.  During my undergraduate studies, I gained…

What were RBC’s ultimate goals in opening a representative office in Thailand? Its ultimate goal was to meet a whole branch license to work in Thailand since the country’s economy had potential, and it was growing fast. RBC’s office in Bangkok by then was only a representative of restricted operations. This office was only operating as a marketing liaison, and it didn’t solicit business in that jurisdiction. The office, as a representative, allowed the Royal Bank of Canada to create connections, refer and offer advice. The bank saw several excellent chances in foreign trade, servicing multinationals, and though trading activities would produce substantial returns. How large is the initial staff for the office, and what is the estimated pretax profit? The bank wanted to start with a staff of five individuals. There would be one general manager, an experienced banker from the network. It would then hire locals (remaining four staffs) as members of the staff. It intended to train the local staff, who would be Thailand University graduates. They would be trained in Canada before going back to their…

Activity 4: Professional Values and Goals Reflection of a Nursing Career My nursing philosophy directly stems from my desire to help people, especially during their desperate times. When I serve people that need help, I get internal satisfaction. Nursing is not a job, but a unique profession that requires one to have passion, patience, and selflessness. It is incredibly satisfying to deal with patients and their families and to help them through the difficult time of illness. Many aspects of patient care within the nursing career make a difference in the lives of the patients and the society as a whole. I grew up with a sibling who had some medical condition that required close care. Sometimes I took on the role of my mother, who was a nurse, to help in carrying out nursing duties. From then on, I knew that nursing was something that I would like to do when I grew up. I so much wanted to help him recover from his ailment.   In another instance, I did some volunteer work for a certain hospital. I…

My life experience The question of what defines and shapes an individual into what he or she is meant to have always been a food of thought to many. I believe who we are and what we become is a series of choices that we make throughout our lives. The incidences that happened throughout our lives, leaving behind memories, often shape our personality. The recollection of these memories forms the root with which our future blossoms. I remember one fall morning, November 27, 2000; I took my first breath of air in Seattle, Washington. My parents had allowed us to spend our thanksgiving together with our grandparents. I love my grandparents not just for their overprotective and warmth they offer but the life lesson that they impart on us. By then, I was just an innocent little boy radiant and perceived life as joyful; hate was not in my vocabulary. Thanks for giving has always been my best holiday since we come together as a family and celebrate. I meet with my cousins to whom they are cheerful and always…

model established by professor Geert Hofstede to implement cultural comparison of key cultural dimensions that influence performance planning Abstract The familiarity of cultural impacts assists IHRM in understanding cultural perspectives in a cross-cultural workplace. Since differences in culture can inhibit organization performance, it is good to explore how cultural dimensions can impact decision making. This report utilizes the model established by professor Geert Hofstede to implement cultural comparison of key cultural dimensions that influence performance planning and how work can be executed in the U.S. as compared to China. This report concludes that cultural training will be needed to encourage Chinese team members to work beyond institutional norms, task execution and fully participate in growing the company’s success. Similarly, the expatriates will need cultural training to understand the significance of cultural disparity so they can adjust their communication practices accordingly. This will help the Chinese to understand the expatriates and overcome cultural barriers that inhibit the effective implementation of the adopted management system. Introduction Background   The internationalization of companies makes International Human Resource Management (IHRM) an essential tool for…

Succession Planning Executive Summary In this executive summary, I will briefly discuss the success of a business enterprise, among many other factors, which depends on effective planning and strategy formulation with respect to its future. In this respect, a strategy to identify and develop individuals with the aim of promoting them on to positions when they become vacant is of significant importance and is commonly referred to as succession planning (Weisblat, 2018). The importance of succession planning is evident from the fact that, aside from the natural retirement, when top management personnel is deceased, for instance, an organization must fill the gap with an immediate successor to at least ensure that the business does not go off the track. However, in the absence of a competent successor, the ship could end up sinking on its own (Weisblat, 2018). Although succession planning for incumbent executives and management demands a selfless attitude and vision, the reality, however, does not portray so. It is a common practice among board members of large business entities to rather look outside their organization for leadership just…

The benefit of studying Sociology Introduction Sociology refers to the study of human relationships, societies as well as the behavior of a human being in a group. This field has a diverse subject matter, ranging from religion to crime, from state to family, from social class and division of race to shared beliefs of a common culture, and from radical societal changes to social stability. Such diverse subjects in sociology play a vital role in understanding how social and cultural structures shape the actions and consciousness of human beings. The primary role of sociologists is careful gathering as well as an analyst of evidence-based social life, which develops and enriches human understanding of fundamental social processes (Webber & Bezanson, 2016). My experience as informed by history Sociology has shaped my perspective on areas such as colonization, industrialization, and capitalism. For instance, I have out that colonialism has been part of the global capitalist system that has caused social changes, exploitation, and uneven development. On the one hand, it produced dependency but also lead to a lot of destruction, according to…

many students are graduating without gaining basic skills In contemporary society, research has indicated that many students are graduating without gaining basic skills. These skills may include handling of their assignment, critical thinking skills as well as problem-solving skills. The leading cause for this can be explained from a different perspective since no one wants to take responsibility. Some say it is related to the quality of the school, and others say it is the professionalism of the teachers while least blame the students for their failure to gain skills. In most cases, the quality of the school contributes the most significant percentage on whether the students will graduate with degrees or not. Such a school might not adequately prepare the students or give students a conducive environment for gaining necessary skills (Kyoung et al., 2017). Lack of or enough and the required resources in schools can deny students the chance of gaining relevant qualifications. In cases where the school lacks professional teachers, it gets hard for them to pass knowledge to the students effectively. Therefore, even at the end…
