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…

Professional attitude I have seen others using the standards by applying current best practices in treating older people. They base their decisions on the treatment that they area to administer on older people based on the available evidence. They use information form case reports, scientific principles, and the opinion from experts. To guarantee autonomy wellness and comfort of the patient, a nurse is involved deal with their negative attitude about older people. the dignity and the autonomy of older adults are often being undermined in the healthcare setting. However, by nurses dealing with attitudes and having the right education, they are able to give the patient autonomy and conform to quality healthcare. Furthermore, I have seen nurses provide older people and their caregivers the chance of making their choices without any influence as a way of increasing their autonomy. To ensure the holistic wellbeing of the person and to have a person-centered care, nurses are involved in not addressing the present needs of the person which is insufficient. Still, they look at the person as being an entity comprised of…

Geopolitics Geopolitics, according to Neil Smith, is a form of critical capitalism that is tied to stage controlled spatial control and imperialism. The United States government has been accused of practicing critical geopolitics as it aims to et up a global American empire, albeit with bloody consequences, particularly in the invasion of Iraq. What looks apparent from the invasion of Iraq and other countries by America is the absolute disregard of human lives (Gearo’id et al., 321)Jennifer Hyndman argues that geopolitics is simply a theory of how space and politics interact. Fraser McDonald, on the other hand, criticizes America’s cause superiority policy is the cause of many conflicts in the world. Overall, the geopolitical tool used by the US to advance its foreign policy is faulty and risky. Bibliography Gearo’id, Jennifer, Fraser, Emily, and Virginie.

Theory of self-concept Each of us has different personalities, attributes, strengths, and desires that we often fail to understand what is happening within us. While we may not be able to explain precisely why we think this way, or why we act in this way, the theory of self-concept is an excellent basic knowledge about the relevance of our experiences to our personal life. Self-concept is the totality of our values, desires, thoughts, and attitudes toward our personal life structured systematically. In other words, this is how we think about ourselves and how we should perceive, behave, and carry out our various roles in life. It organizes all that we believe we are, what we think we can do, and how best we think we can do it. According to Gordon et al. (2017), several factors can influence your self-concept. These factors can either be internal or external sources. Internal factors include what you perceive about yourself and others, what you put a lot of concentration on, how you interpret events and circumstances that occur in your life, how…
