Putting Social Advocacy Skills into Action             A social problem is a condition or behavior that negatively affects a large number of people (objective component) and is widely recognized as an issue that needs to be addressed (subjective component). Homelessness is both a complex political and social problem with several combinations of factors leading to it: uncertain physical and mental health, domestic abuse, lack of affordable housing, unemployment, community and family breakdown, and addictions. Being homeless entails living without shelter but could also include those experiencing partial homelessness, such as living in sub-standard or temporary shelters. Homelessness in America is prevalent, as about 3.5 million people are living on the streets or in a shelter (Erickson & Wilhelm, 2017). Moreover, a more significant number of 7.5 million share living spaces, as they cannot afford the high housing costs. These levels of homelessness in America have been influenced by public policy choices such as affordability and housing supply, eligibility for housing assistance, and welfare spending. Homelessness became a national issue in the 1870s, facilitated by industrialization, urbanization, mobility, and the construction…

5 Underrated Kayak Safety Skills The fact that kayaking is an incredibly safe and comfortable outdoor adventure attracts a lot of paddlers. But even with the most experienced paddlers, accidents may happen at any time. Factors such as strong waves, hitting seamarks, and rocks, among others, may capsize your boat. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to learn kayak safety skills and master them before you go out on the water. They may seem irrelevant and easy to ignore until your life, and anyone else in the kayak depends on you. Things on the water may go wrong very fast, requiring you to act quickly. Thus, practicing these skills regularly will prove invaluable at such times. Most of these skills are underestimated and not given proper attention, deliberately. In this article, we’ll look at the 5 underrated kayak safety skills. Re-entering into the kayak You should learn and practice re-entering into your kayak from the water before you need to do it. Sit-inside kayaks are harder to re-enter compared to sit-on-top kayaks because they get swamped and don’t drain themselves.…

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.

Good interpersonal skills with the ability to work withiouut supervision. An engineer having undertaken the engineering Management unit develops good interpersonal skills as taught because the dynamic society we’re in today requires an engineer with more developed social skills to enhance them to satisfactory deal with the demands of different environment and to engage stakeholders so as to work collaboratively (Lopes Daniele, Cecilion Mateaus and Aparecide Zilpa, 2015). Employability includes the ability to find employment and remain employed. Employability also include hard and soft skills in both formal and personal characteristics (Senior Carl, Cubbidge, Nillson, 2010). It has also been noted that the present society considers good interpersonal skills to engage more stakeholders and technical vocational skills are becoming less important as society changes, the employer wants an engineer who can relate well with clients as well as machines this allows the engineers to produce what the client needs(Carl et al 2010). This is greatly important in a producing goods that are needed by the clients because it increases demand of the product and ensures that no raw material goes…

Nuclear weapons Nuclear weapons play an essential role in international security and politics. Various reasons inspire stats to pursue nuclear programmes.[1] A leading cause for weaker states to embark on nuclear programmes is intending to strengthen their security position, especially where they lack military capabilities.[2] Nuclear weapons offer instant security. Moreover, they are more appealing in comparison with the conventional forces. Consequently, smaller states like Iran, which lack the military might of larger states opt to pursue nuclear programmes. The underlying distrust and perceived threats from other states with military capabilities further inform the nuclear ambition of a state. The ensuing influence and power that nuclear weapons bring to a state imply that even a small state attains formidable powers. This is indicative of a desire for influence and power. Such behaviour may lead to vertical or horizontal proliferation, not to mention it might trigger a ‘domino effect’. In this case, a state may also embark on a nuclear programme simply because a neighbouring state has a stockpile of nuclear weapons. Other reasons why a state may feel compelled to pursue…

      Bipedalism Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date                             Answer to Question 1 According to expert advice, as suggested by Johanson, human bipedalism demonstrates a tremendous evolutionary innovation, which at its initial stage looks not probable. For instance, the researcher asserts that unlike their quadrupedal ancestors, the bipedal primates look clumsy, have a slow pace, and highly unstable as well as being prone to both injuries and falls. However, despite these attributes, several hypotheses attempt to explain why how bipedalism happened or occurred. While all of them try to justify why a man becomes a bipedal primate, I find the theory of attraction of mates as more plausible than the rest. The implication is that the hypothesis of attracting mates combines the other two hypotheses about feeding and looking for food. According to the theory, males who walked through bipedalism had considerable advantages in getting food and even carrying it to their females and offspring back in their dwellings (NOVA, 2006). The hypothesis asserts that the…

Training and skills development sessions Training and skills development sessions get employees motivated and let them think that they are learning and advancing (O’Connor, 2013). This leads the employees to perform correctly and adopt any change and make themselves more fit for Amazon’s culture.   It offers a broader range of exposure to employees and keeps them motivating that they learn new things each day and develop their skills (Varia & Mathew, 2014).   Through job enrichment, employees are trusted by the company to take responsibility for other significant tasks, which enhances their motivation level. Job rotation lets them strengthen their skills to different functional areas, and mentoring and skill development improve their performance at the workplace. Job rotation and training are also the motivating elements at the workplace (Woo, Keith & Thornton, 2015). Therefore, Amazon does not ignore these elements to motivate their employees. Success is the accomplishment of targeted goals, objectives, or purposes. Employees are the real asset for Amazon to achieve targets and objectives. The bar raisers ensure the recruitment of the right person in the correct…
