Main challenges that faces e-learning It is tough to imagine that being in a college or campus was accessing the internet is impossible. The internet is readily accessible, and all the universities are expected to have the facilities which enable the students to access the internet. Technology is applied in almost every aspect of a university. Research shows that people who were born after 1982 have different exposure to technology compared to the previous years. The people born in later years have been given called the Net generation due to the access to technology that they have experienced in their lives since childhood. Technology is transforming hastily, and the delivery of education is shifting to online means in an unthinkable way. The impact of technology transformation is seen rippling in industries and institutions even more. There is a call for research to have a nuanced understanding of the best ways to deliver education online and effectively. There is uncertainty in the best modes of training, considering the current generation have exposure to technology at an early age. Barsky (2008) noted…

Bereavement Transition of Spouses in Older Adults   Introduction   Sudden undesirable changes in the social life of human beings necessitate a change of behavior and practices and sometimes can lead to adverse health outcomes. Death is a natural event that every human being must experience. At other times, people experience the death of a loved one. Bereavement denotes the death or loss of a loved one. It leads to grief and the grief reactions exhibited by those left alive, such as yearning, intense pining, protests, and anger reactions. According to Richardson (2014), grieving due to bereavement has a wide range of effects across various health aspects, including the affective, psychological, physical, spiritual, cognitive, and social realms, among others. Bereavement of a spouse is one of the losses that cause the most significant effects. This paper focuses on the spousal bereavement of older adults aged above 65 years. At least 50 percent of all women and 10 percent of all men experience the loss of a spouse by age 65 years, and the figures rise to 80 percent and 40…

Prisons Privatization and CJS Privatization is the process of transferring control of the public sector to the private sector. The method may entail the sale of the public organization to private investors or eliminate the barriers to the entry of private firm into an industry. Privatization has been crucial in expanding access to services such as energy, water, education, healthcare, and transport. In the 1990s, the government approved America’s first private prison. The state decided the promise that privatization would ease the congestion on public facilities, reduce the general cost of running and maintain correction facilities through improved efficiency and improve the quality of services to inmates. A critical analysis indicates that privatization poses a hindrance to the realization of the objectives of the Criminal Justice System. Prisons should not be privatized to allow the government to provide sensible solutions to the challenges of the CJS. Justice is too sensitive to be served for profit. If police officers received higher pay per arrest, the police would arrest more civilians for crimes that would have required nothing more than a verbal…

Language prejudice towards the Spanish and Latino Language is used for socializing; people have to speak a common language to pass the message to one another, and if their language differs, then communication is a barrier. People use language to transfer cultural knowledge, which is stored in their brains. Language changes with the change in attitude, personal identity, intergroup bias, social perception, stereotypes, as well as attributes. Two people cannot communicate without language, and people cannot respond to each other without the use of language. When people talk, they can do psychological research, and the language role is to stimulate a response. Communication may be used either positively or negatively depending on the contest, the language used as well as the user. People use different language, and then they are not likely to communicate. The use of a combination of Spanish and English phrases makes the whites to discriminate against the Spanish people due to the language. The difference in language use led to racialism, where the white has a racial shift towards the Spanish members. The nonwhites suffer because…

Parent and physician attitudes regarding electronic communication Kleiner, K. D., Akers, R., Burke, B. L., & Werner, E. J. (2002). Parent and physician attitudes regarding electronic communication in pediatric practices. Pediatrics, 109(5), 740-744. Can the participants in this study be considered random samples? Why or why not? The parties in this study cannot be considered random samples. Every object has a similar probability of being selected with no bias according to the simple random sampling principle. The participants in this study are there because they have sick children who may need specialists for their medical conditions. The participants are a convenience sample; participation in the study was based on availability at the time of the survey. Table 1 provides frequency distribution tables for several variables (e.g., ethnicity, education, annual income). By “eyeballing” the charts, what general differences can you identify between individuals from general pediatric (GP) offices and those from specialty pediatric (SP) offices? From the frequency distribution tables, there are minor demographic differences in the annual family income and the parental age. Specialty pediatric office parents had a higher…

It is better to study for a higher degree [MSc, PhD] in Saudi Arabia than to go abroad to do it. Completion of a first degree is a guarantee to secure an excellent job in the competitive market of Saudi Arabia. However, many students are torn between progressing with education to obtain a higher degree or proceed to secure a job. If a student decides to pursue a higher degree, he has to decide whether to study in an Arabian university or go abroad to study there. People have different opinions where some opt to study at local universities while others prefer elsewhere; thus, the choice depends on the student. This essay will factor out the argument that it is better to study for a higher degree locally considering the advantages of making links with international students, new cultures, and the boost it will have on your curriculum vitae. To start with, when a student studies abroad, he has the ability to connect with other students from different parts of the world. Everyone has a diverse background from the other,…

Distribution Assignment Numerous distribution methods are implemented to encourage diligence and commitment. However, some are more effective than others in accomplishing their said objectives. In my view, the reinforcement distribution system ranks best in making individuals deliver productively. Reinforcement is a type of behavioral conditioning that can be observed even in our early years (Ain & Aron, 35). It accounts for both positive and negative behavior within any environment, school, or workplace. Positive reinforcement is an intervention carried out to promote desirable behavior. In this, an individual is praised after he or she accomplishes specific set goals with much zeal and tenacity. The praise is accompanied by approval from the superiors who would give exceptional recommendations about you, and this would consequently open more opportunity doors, in all possible aspects. Negative reinforcement is meant to discourage unwarranted conduct, for instance, issuing warnings for substandard work. The reinforcement distribution will undoubtedly prompt me to work hard to acquire the said benefits and avoid penalties. In my opinion, the worst distribution is the one on equity. Equity is being encouraged by many…

Coronavirus: China no case of local transmission for the third day, Singapore records first two deaths. Chinese authorities announced on Saturday that, for the third consecutive day, there were no cases of local transmission of Covid-19, but confirmed new infections originating from abroad. The contagion rate has declined in recent weeks in China, while the rest of the world is taking steps to try to fight the pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday praised China’s success in controlling the outbreak in the city of Wuhan, where the virus was first identified late last year. “Wuhan provides hope for the rest of the world that even the most severe situation can be turned around.” “Of course, we must exercise caution; the situation can reverse. But the experience of cities and countries that have pushed back this coronavirus gives hope and courage to the rest of the world.” said WHO Secretary General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva. Some 56 million people in Hubei province, whose capital is Wuham, were subjected to a giant forced quarantine in January, although local authorities…

Inflating prices Question 1 In terms of funding for any major sporting event, the funding in most cases is not overestimated. Sponsors have to ensure that at all times, there are additional miscellaneous costs that may accrue in such events. The miscellaneous expenses are meant to cover any damage that may occur because of the competition. It is thus not true that funding is mostly overestimated. The costs, on the other hand, are accorded the same based on the standard measure. Prices tend to inflate and change depending on the area that the sporting event is occurring. It is thus hard for actual figures to match in all countries due to the various standards of living that are associated with the different countries. The market can thus better solve the problem by ensuring that they set up a feasibility study that will prioritize critical areas, which in this case will include funds intended to be generated and the evaluation of standards of living to determine costs that the event could cover. With an analysis of the two areas, it would…

Volume as organisation theory Volume two is majorly about the organization and administration of universities and colleges with the application of organizational theory. It outlines how administrators may use this theory to assist them in making sense of the rapidly changing external environment and internal conditions and offer directions for action. The volume argues that while multiple features of organizations have remained unchanged for many years, civilization has presented various problems that are not answered by old theories. The volume covers an in-depth discussion of post-modernism, which offers the understanding that prior notions or consensus were mistaken and must be replaced with new perspectives that consider various epistemological premises that are more relevant to the society. The volume also points out that a multifaceted approach to solving problems in the organization can be made to more effective by relying on more than one theory. The volume offers administrators and leaders with pattern recognition modes that make situations which may appear challenging to be more navigable. The volume also talks about decision making in higher institutions, which as described in the…
