Understanding Families Introduction Today, dealing with family relationships can be a challenging factor; as a result, most people do not seem to have the strategies that promote efficient family interactions. However, various techniques are appropriate to build on family relations. One simplified approach is Dr. Ronald W. Richardson’s ‘family of origin therapy technique’ that focuses on boosting individual self-esteem and capabilities, then employing a counselor or family therapist to resolve potential disputes. Another common strategy that many people assume is communication. In that, adequate communication amongst family members ensures understanding when there is any form of conflict or disagreement. Consequently, it limits gossip and malice by clearing up misinterpretations or misunderstanding that could break family ties. Also, communication promotes mutual support and provides a comprehensive perspective on challenging situations and insights. In the long run, family bonds become stronger. In a bid to provide a richer understanding, this paper answers various questions by describing my personal family experiences while applying what I have learned from Dr. Ronald W. Richardson’s book ‘Family Ties That Bind.’ When I stopped my regular habit…
Fiscal and Monetary Policy Part 1 (Fiscal policy and monetary policy) Fiscal policy deals with government expenditure/spending and income/earnings. The tools that are used in fiscal policy are taxes and spending. What differentiates fiscal policy and monetary policy is that the control of the former is by the president and the congress and deals with spending and taxes while the latter deals with the purchase and selling of securities to regulate money supply in the economy. As a member of congress, I think that the government should draft and enact laws that will ensure that there is a balance between the federal budget that will ensure less spending. Over expenditure by the federal government affects the economy negatively. Scenario 1: The government is currently spending three billion, one hundred million on programs and brings in three billion, five hundred million through taxation. Does this create a budget surplus or deficit? Explain. 3.5billion-3.1billion= 0.4billion This budget creates a surplus. A surplus budget occurs when the amount of revenue or income generated by the government is greater than the expenditure..…

Effective Listening Basic Leader Course (BLC) has been an excellent course that has provided me with useful information on good leadership. Effective listening is one of the best topics in the course. I was interested in this topic because communication is essential in the Army. If leaders in the Army lack good communication skills, conducting different missions will fail since passing the right message to the team will not be done in the right way. For communication to be successful, learning how to effectively listen is essential. This will involve being in a position to fully understand verbal and nonverbal cues used by the speaker. Effective listening is an important topic that helps Army leaders to be effective. Importance of Effective Listening Army leaders spend most of their time motivating people inside and outside their chain of command to improve decisions, thinking, and attract actions that will result in more exceptional outcomes. An effective Army leader effectively listens to words of a speaker and is interested in understanding their meaning. The listener ensures that they hear what the speaker wanted…

The electoral system in the United States of America The current electoral system in the United States of America According to the Constitution, the president is elected indirectly by the citizens through the Electoral College. In this system, a state has a fixed number of electors based on its number of congress representatives (Felicetti, 2014). The electors are required to cast their votes to choose the president. In the current hypothetical situation, the country has 538 electoral votes (Wlezien, 2015). From the electoral votes, the candidate that receives more than half of votes is declared the president. The proposed system recommends that the country adopts the democratic system of governance. The system supports the majority rule in which the candidate who gets the most popular votes is announced as the president. A comparison between the current system and the proposed electoral system In recent years, a debate has arisen over, which is the best electoral system for the country. Different arguments have since emerged during the course. We must, therefore, analyze the pros and cons of each of the methods…

Government Intervention and Regional Integration Introduction Protectionism entails designed national policies aimed at restricting free trade and protecting domestic industries from competition from foreign industries (Cavusgil et al., 2014). In other words, protectionism is a policy that provides a home industry with an unfair advantage versus international competition. It arises in the form of administrative rules, tariffs and non-tariff barriers such as quotas targeted at discouraging imports. Protectionism is the leading government intervention in international business. Government intervention may use investment barriers to target foreign direct investment flows, which restrict foreign firms from operations (Cavusgil et al., 2014). A tariff is a government tax imposed on imports, which effectively increases the cost of acquisition for the customer. A non-tariff trade barrier is a policy by the government, procedure or regulation that impedes trade through other means than explicit tariffs (Cavusgil et al., 2014). The Role of the US Government Protectionism in Business Activities and Economic Growth The US government has made interventions in international business. The Bush administration in the 2000s imposed tariffs on the importation of foreign…

EBOLA: SHOULD AMERICA CARE? Introduction Ebola is a viral disease that occurs in the form of viral hemorrhagic fever. The disease attacks human beings and primates. The causative agent of Ebola disease is the ebolaviruses. The incubation period of Ebola disease usually takes between two days to three weeks of exposure or contracting the virus. Ebola was first discovered in the year 1976 in two African countries by the names Sudan and Zaire (Pavlik et al., 2018). For that reason, the disease was named after a major river in Zaire called Ebola. During this historic outbreak, the disease was regarded as a pandemic because it first infected about two hundred and eighty-four in Sudan with a fatality rate of 53%. The second case of the Ebola outbreak was reported in Zaire, where it had infected three hundred and eighteen people. The second case was much more extreme because it was characterized by a fatality rate of 88% (Pavlik et al., 2018).
