Number of Household Members and Wealth Index Score Summary of the dataset The data utilized in this case was adopted from the Demographic and health survey, where a total of 6290 respondents were included in the survey. The wealth index score provides a cumulative understanding of a household’s living standards based on the integration of different measures. The different levels of living standards present a different approach, which helps define a different level emphasis under which it is easier to maintain a proper focus on individual development (Chakraborty et al., 2016). Low-income countries tend to have a very low wealthy index compared to high-income countries. This is mainly a result of different factors that present a highly specific consideration on critical aspects such as the average age of household heads, education attainment, and employment status (Duraiappah, 2018). The wealth index encompasses different factors that can be assessed independently to help understand specific concepts that help in building an understanding of individual social and economic development within a given setting. Therefore this research focuses on establishing the underlying factors which influence…
The idea of the ideal man, as presented by Confucius The idea of the ideal man, as presented by Confucius, is impressive. The current society across the globe, in my opinion, has fewer Chun-Tzu individuals compared to earlier communities. First, the idea of seeking to be a ‘gentleman’ in the context of the teachings presented by Confucius is a possible and achievable endeavour. Individuals can try to improve themselves – a great example of a typical individual goal across society. It is possible to achieve the mentality of the Junzi. Still, various characteristics of this man require an advanced and heightened level of self-consciousness and discipline – which I feel has deteriorated over time and is lacking in the current society. It is most visible in vital areas such as leadership where, unlike in the communities in Confucius’ time, fundamental qualities have eroded, leaving the world in a compromised state of affairs. The 21st-century poses various challenges to Confucianism as a thought and approach to life. For example, the complexity of today’s society at multiple levels poses hurdles for individuals…
REFLECTION ON SOCIAL WORK PLACEMENT Introduction It’s a chilly morning and am having this home visit with my placement educator who is a senior social worker at Early Restorative Practice (RES), on my first day of placement at a service user’s home. I was very privileged to attend this meeting upon my PE request and consent from the service users. The meeting proved to be a very fruitful one for the vast experience of the great ambience around. There was plenty for my observations and the general feel about the place. Confidentiality will be address as I will not be disclosing the individuals that are involved names, location and personal details per the Data Protection Act 1998 and GDPPR 2018. Reaction to the event: My first observation was a conversation between the service users and my placement educator, and both were addressing the issues regarding the visit and what support will be needed to move forward. Still, on my listening skills for the conversation, I heard a big bang noise arriving from upstairs of Mrs B and Mr A…
Reader Response Exercise “Dogs, the Other Victims of the Opioid Crisis” is an article by Douglas Main published in the National Geographic Magazine. The article explores how the opioid crisis has impacted dogs. According to this article, dogs are often the unrecognized victims of the opioid crisis. For instance, a recent peer-reviewed study revealed that around 600 calls are made each year to report accidental ingestion of opioids by pets (Main). Dogs are usually very curious, which results in them ending up sniffing or eating all kind of drugs. Just like in human beings, opioids can have severe effects on dogs. The article by Main left me in disbelief. Before reading this article, I knew that the opioid crisis a serious problem in the country. I knew that the problem has negative effects on the country’s healthcare sector and the economy. However, I was not aware that the abuse and misuse of opioids was a serious problem for dogs. Most importantly, I care very much about dogs. For me, dogs are just as important as human beings. While human beings…

Question 1 Typical cyber-attack process In hacking, there exist two types of hackers, a white-hat hacker, and a black hat hacker. A white-hat hacker is a hacker to secure vulnerabilities in networks, hardware, and software. White hackers are also known as ethical hackers and are known for their nature of exploiting vulnerabilities only when given legal permission to do so. A black hat hacker is a hacker who gets into networks, hardware, and software intending to cause harm. Black hat hackers engage in the exploitation of vulnerabilities to gain money or destruction of data and machines. It is, therefore, necessary for one to be an excellent white-hat hacker, he or she must understand how a black hat works. A black hat hacker typically follows a typical method that involves specific steps with the aim of hacking and acquiring what he or she wants. The first step is reconnaissance, where the hacker identifies a vulnerable target and explores the best way to exploit it, and at this point, anyone is a target. Scanning is the second step, and it is…
Cybersecurity Introduction Cyber security is a body of process, practices and technologies designed to protect devices, networks, data and programs from damages, attacks or unauthorized access. It may also refer to the security of information technology. The military, corporate, financial, and medical and government body’s process, collect and store exceptional amount of informations on their computers and electronic devices.

What are the dangers of being judgmental? Strangely, having good judgment does not necessarily mean being judgmental, instead judgmental is a negative word to describe someone who often rushes to judgment without reason. The adjective judgmental describes someone who forms a lot of opinions usually harsh or critical ones about lots of people. Generally, people that are judgmental are insecure and it says a lot about their own character, a judgmental person a lot of time displays the same behavior that they dislike and are judging others about but they aren’t aware of it. I personally get judgmental about things that I am especially not good at doing, and subconsciously judging my actions and performance based on the prevailing ability of people around me performing the same task. Self-criticism leads to a higher rate of judgmental tendencies. How aware of judgement and criticism are you? In the ‘’Young Goodman Brown’, although Goodman has decided to go to the forest and meet with the devil, he is at the same time judgmental and critical of the people he finds at the black mass, Goodman…
Ethical Standards and Guidelines Discussion My current occupation is military. The occupation has exposed me to the psychological challenges people face in the workplace. For example, several military veterans have committed suicide after suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Miller, 2015). Having reviewed various reports and observed some of the cases, I chose to specialize in General Psychology. It will help conceptualize and address mental health cases within and outside the workplace. This course has introduced me to the concept of research ethics and ethical standards to adhere to as a psychology practitioner. However, the ones that are related to the population I am working with are privacy and confidentiality and record-keeping and fees (Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, 2002). The two standards have been identified following the research conducted on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and veterans’ suicides. The evidence collected revealed that the majority of the population keep off from seeking health care services because they fear they fear their information will be revealed. The victims feel society continues to stereotype them. As a result, I…
What these loyalty payments were controlling incentive conflict. The incentive conflict among HP and Intel is exclusion. In determinations to control the market on chips, Intel presented rebate schemes to four OEMs. In essence, Dell, Lenovo, HP, and NEC acknowledged rebates from Intel on the circumstance of them gaining all or almost all of their necessities for x86 CPUs from Intel. Intel decided payments to one of its retailers, Media-Saturn-Holding (MSH), on the complaint that it only sold processors having Intel’s chips. Intel made disbursements to HP, Acer plus Lenovo on the circumstance that these OEMs suspended, canceled, or limited delivery of products utilizing CPUs from AMD. This action by Intel is unlawful because their opponents would be disbursing an excessive amount of money to arrive in the chip marketplace. If the market turned to be a monopoly market, then they would have complete control. This type of vertical contract is prohibited in the US, consequently violating antitrust laws The advice Intel failed to follow was: If you have imperative power in the marketplace, then you ought to think about…
