The Cox’s Bazar is also known as a important corridor of trespassing of criminals and smuggling goods on the land of Bangladesh. The Bandorban is one of the best charming hilly districts in our country. But several geographical characteristics make it distinct from normal people of Bangladesh. At here, keep with the matching with socio demographic feature of people the nature and perspective of crime is totally different from the plane land.On participating as a member in the study tour I’ve acknowledged different patterns of crime with its social & economic consequence in that region.

A countable portion of this strength is involve in Refugee camp, BDR Magazine room, VVIP & VIP Protection, KPI`s security. ?No logistic support to prevent Sea Dacoit. ?Residence facility about nil. Analyzing The Crime Patterns In Coastal Area (Coast Guard & Cox’s Bazaar Perspective): On above discussion now we are in the platform to generalize the crime patterns in this two aspects. I proceed on following way- Due to the environmental factors smuggling is the most common crime in this coastal area.Narcotics crime, women repression, Smuggling ,Theft, Illegal Arms offences ,Murder causes threat on police activity, especially on Cox’s Bazaar. Abduction ,Robbery, Dacoit isn’t so frequent criminal feature of crime in this sea level coastal areas. Drug crimes are expanding due to torrent illicit interest for taking drug. Sea (costal) areas are the potential get-way for smuggling, trafficking, illegal Rohinga trespassing etc. Property related conflict / crime is rare to be seen. The ratio between law enforcement personal and public is very poor.So all forms of crime mainly smuggling, criminal & narcotics trespassing, drug crimes, violent crimes is trend to be high day by day.

Community policing; In Response to — ?Domestic Violence ?Trafficking ?Eve-teasing awareness ?Dowry ?Traffic education ?Drug abuse ?School visit for ensuring education and health care ?Tree plantation ?Preserving forest ?Community awareness ?Fire management ?Preservation of hill. Comparison of the crime pattern of coastal and hill area through Analysis : On the base of critical assessment of coastal (Chittagong & Cox’s Bazaar) and Hilly area (Bandorban) now we note as follows- The crime trend on hilly areas is lower than coastal area. Most prominent crime in coastal areas is smuggling.On the other hand, at hilly area we found abduction & murder are the most affected Crime. The hilly people commit pretty alcohol related crime, sometimes we see property conflict between hilly people & Bengali People but this feature is absent at Cox ’s Bazaar. Roninga issue is common problem in both Cox’s Bazaar and Bandorban. Due to the communication obstacle law enforcement personal have serve more hardship in Bandorban than Cox’s Bazaar. There’s no existence of crime committed by â€Å"Santi Bahini† at Cox’s Bazaar but the criminal activities are done in the name of this â€Å"Santi Bahini† at Bandorban.Overall, Hilly people are more peaceful than Bengali people of coastal area. Limitations Of The Study: Though the visit in these coastal & hilly areas helped us very much to gain empirical and practical knowledge in the field of investigation but to visit it we have faced some problems . The main limitation were- ? We didn’t get enough time on staying for collecting data at a one place. ?We collect all these information from representative administrative side, we’ve no scope to verify our findings at field level. Sometimes police representative personal seems like pay unwillingness in answering some fundamental issues. Conclusion: On visiting both these region we become enriched with the knowledge’s that we didn’t have before. This empirical and practical knowledge’s helps us to analyzes the distinct patterns of crime aspects in academic studies.

The Divine Comedy By Dante Alighieri - 1277 Words

Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy from 1308-1320. The story narrates Dante’s pilgrimage through hell, purgatory, and heaven while guided by Virgil and Beatrice. Throughout this journey Dante conforms himself to virtue, properly orders his passions, and conforms his conscience, â€Å"Dante s psychopoiesis operates through the mimetic deformation, reformation, and transformation of conscience† (Macready, 2). This essay will examine what a true conscience is according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and explore the nature of the conscience in Dante’s Divina Commedia. Additionally, this essay will examine the errors of Dante’s conscience regarding divine justice, love, and courage; and who contributes to this formation. One must†¦show more content†¦There are many examples of Dante taking pity on those in hell. First, one can see this portrayed in the second circle of hell by the lustful. The lustful, whose actions often led them and t heir lovers to death, suffer for their sins by means of fire: Into this torment carnal sinners are thrust, So I was told the sinners who make their reason, Bond thrall under the yoke of their lust. (Inferno. 5.37-9). When first entering the second circle Dante, â€Å"beholds a place completely dark, where there is noise worse than that of a storm at sea. Lamenting, moaning, and shrieking, the spirits are whirled and swept by an unceasing storm. Dante learns that these are the spirits doomed by carnal lust† (CliffNotes, The Divine Comedy). Dante reacts to Francesca s love for Paolo, her horrible betrayal, and her punishment so strongly that he faints. Due to Dante’s misguided concept of lust, he does not realize the full severity of Francesca’s sins. Dante also feels pity for one of the most important figures in the poet’s life, Brunetto Latini. Featured among the sodomites, Brunetto Latini is in one of the central cantos of the Inferno. â€Å"Although the poet imagines Brunetto in hell, Dante-character and Brunetto show great affection and respect for one another during theirShow MoreRelatedThe Divine Comedy By Dante Alighieri873 Words   |  4 Pagesâ€Å"The Divine Comedy† is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri.

Flag Burning In America Persuasive Essa Essay example

Chantay Brooks PHI-105 November 16, 2014 Instructor Benjamin Perlin The American Flag can be seen in many public places. You see it in schools, government building, stores and hanging in our homes. Those stars and strips are a symbol of freedom to many people across the nation. But is also represents civil liberties that became the pillars this country was founded upon. Flag Burning should be legalized because it allows those who feel disenfranchised the freedom of speech, the Constitutional right to protest and in many important instances it holds no Anti –American sentiments. The desecration of the flag has been the topic of debate for many years amongst Judicial Court Justices. For years dating back to 1907, the U.S. Supreme Court†¦show more content†¦This brought on the Supreme Court striking down all laws banning flag desecration in 1989. Justice Brennan wrote â€Å"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable (civilliberty website, n.d) One cannot simply ban or outlaw a person’s right to exercise their ideas publically because it goes against the majority or popular belief. Taking away ones freedom of speech, you then take away the voice of a nation. You don’t have to always agree with the words, ideas or views someone expresses but you must give them the right to say it without repercussions. We recite the pledge of allegiance, not fully understanding what it means. The las t section of the pledge states â€Å"with liberty and justice for all†. (UsFlag.org, n.d) Which means, the freedom to live, speak and to carry on without fear or injustice. No matter the race, gender or ethnicity George Washington said it best, â€Å"if the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.†(Washington, n.d line 31 ) This nation was built upon principles that we are all free. Free to live and exercise our rights to speak freely and protest as citizens without fear. The Constitution also allows one to peacefully

Resistant or Conflict in Change Process

Question: Evaluate change management theories and models and select one to apply to the change occurring in the organization. Support why you selected this theory or model. Explain the role that communication will play in your plan. Analyze how communication could be used to handle concerns and doubts of stakeholders. Answer: Specific organization The change is scheduled to take place in Kansas Health Care Association (KHSA) in the US. It is headquartered in Topeka, Kansas. It is a state affiliate of American Health Care Association and partner with National Association of Health Care Assistants. It is a non-profit organization with about 200 long-term care providers. It has for-profit and non-profit facilities including nursing facility, facilities for mental health, intermediate care for the disabled person and hospital-based long-term care facility. It members provide health care to more than 20,000 chronically ill citizens of Kansas. KHSA is also involved in the survey process, administrator licensing and looked after legislative issues for supporting the improved health care of patients. They have spent a lot of money on programs for improving health services. Now they are planning to undergo changes for a more targeted approach so that each project and ideas becomes successful on their own. They are planning for entertai ning funding request through programs so that money goes to the particular area of interest. They are planning for a revamped funding structure and working on oral and behavioral health (Institute, 2016). Driving force for change The low-income group living in Kansas is the driving force for the modification. KHSA focus is on providing health care to patients, and so they want to improve the lives of the community through their philanthropic activities. They seek to improve health services by innovative approaches such as helping clinics connect electronic medical record to computer networks and promoting safe and secure sharing of patient information. They are planning to invest more money in hospitals to extend patient hours (Long-Term Care Providers, 2016). Resistant or conflict in change process The organization undergoing change in routine or program faces various challenges during the change process. KHSA is planning to introduce new technology in clinics for managing health care data. There might be barriers in this process such as medical staffs getting confused about the new technique or new program implemented in hospitals. They might face problems in adapting to the new technology, and this will bring chaos initially. The organization is looking for health care reforms such as entertaining fund request, reimbursement. A small thing is compromised in this process. But the major focus should be on practice of small things. Another biggest barrier in effective change management is miscommunication. Effective communication between health care staff and health leaders will remove any confuse and lead to smooth transitions of the change process in the hospital (Battilana Casciaro, 2013). Change management theories or models Different change management theories or models are useful tools for managing variations in the organization. The three conventional models that companies choose to operate are as follows: 1. Lewins Change Management Model: This model was created by Kurt Lewin. According to him, there are three stages of change. The first stage is unfreezing when there is an effort to resist change. This trend can be eliminated through motivating everyone for the modification. Next stage is the transition period in which change has started, and organization is the transition period. The role of a leader is significant at this time for the success of change. The third stage is refreezing stage when a change has been implemented and accepted by all. In this phase stability is gained as members adapt to operate under new programs (Cummings Worley, 2014). 2. Mc Kinsey 7-S Model: This model was created in 1978 to offer holistic change approach to organizations. In this case, seven factors work together to implement the change. These are shared values, strategy, structure, system, style, staff and skills. Management of all these factors will be beneficial for diagnosing and understanding an organization. The model gives guidance to the organization for the change process, and it has focused both on rational and emotional components. All the factors are crucial in the change process, and each should be addressed effectively. The disadvantage of this model is that since all components are interrelated, change in one part means a change in everything. This model is complex and has a high rate of failure (Mitchell et al., 2015). 3. Kotters 8 step change model: This model was developed by John Kotter, which suggested that effective change can take place only when leaders convince employees about the need for change to take place. The eight steps in this model are as follows- Establishing energy for change Creating a team that is dedicated to change process Developing a vision for the change to make directed efforts. Communicating the vision and strategy for change. Empower staff and system to effectively respond to change. Creating short term goals and rewarding employees for achievement. Remaining persistent throughout the change process. Making the change permanent by incorporating it into organization culture. This model laid more stress on communication, employee empowerment and focus. Even after the change process, things need to be monitored for some time. Kotter's change model will be effective for the selected organization undergoing change process. This is because this model will help Kansas Healthcare to communicate the change process effectively to employees, so they get prepared to adapt to changes. Employee empowerment is also a focus of the model, so the hospital can look into this aspect to effectively bring changes (Appelbaum et al., 2012). Impact of change System thinking involves careful reasoning of consequences of policies and actions in a particular organization, analyzing scenarios through group discussion and taking opinions regarding the change from other workers and understanding the interaction of the change within the health systems. Before going into the change process, Kansas health care could take into account their organizational dynamics such as structure, the pattern of events or programs. All this analysis will help health leaders at Kansas to anticipate the success of change process. It will assist in bringing innovation into the system so that improved health care is given to the patient. The proposed change process in the hospital will help in providing improved health care to people of Kansas and getting the desired fund for health care awareness programs (Benn et al., 2014). Strategies and innovations that could be implemented to effect the organizational change Any change creates discomfort among employees due to a sudden change in organization system. The strategies for effective change management include communicating the reasons for the change to all persons in the organization. Managers can also use quantitative tools to assess the effectiveness of different change programs. Proactive strategies can be taken which help in the transition of organization or team to desired future state before being incited by any events or driving force. Transparency and effective communication are crucial in change management. If employees understand the reason for the change, they will readily agree to the change process. The second strategy is to give essential training to staff so that they quickly adapt to change in the organization system. Some workers feel uncomfortable for the change, and their performance may suffer. To address this problem, personal counseling can be given. The most important step is to check constantly how change is proceeding in the organization. They should check that whether change process has served the purpose of the action or not. It is recommended that leaders with effective interpersonal skill are selected for change process so that they can avoid miscommunication at all levels (Coghlan et al., 2015). Role of communication Communication is a key element in organizational change management strategy. Planned communication strategies help in developing priorities and making staff understand the proposed changes. The different work in the organization is divided among different staff. So it is important for leaders to a different strategy for each group. Such approach will increase employee engagement and motivation to carry out joint organization goal. The leaders need to review and evolve communication strategy from time to time. Stakeholders need to know the progress of change process during its execution. To address the doubt of stakeholders, the effective communication plan should be made by managers to determine how frequently and what information they will communicate to them. Information has to be provided in the right format and impact so that it convinces the stakeholders (Cornelissen, 2014). Strategies to motivate stakeholders Different stakeholders are involved in the success of an organization. There are different ways to motivate each stakeholder. The first step is to identify what are the motivating factors for particular stakeholders. For example, employees are motivated when they get flexibility in the workplace. Patients are driven by quality health care service to the clinic. The focus should be on how stakeholders will benefit from motivational activities. Managers could explain to the stakeholders what they would gain if they are linked to their company. For example, shareholder gets increased stock price if the company has a good reputation. Regular informational meetings should be held with important stakeholders. Leaders can also ask for feedback from them. This will help them analyze how far they have influenced their stakeholders. Key groups which will require targeted motivation in Kansas Health Care includes health care professionals, investors, patients and hospital owner (Rodrigue et al. , 2013). Training for the successful implementation of the organizational change Any change process becomes successful only with adequate support and training for its implementation. A leader needs to give adequate training and support to each staff to make them comfortable with new organization system. Successful implementation of organization change is achieved by following five steps. The first step is creating motivation for change. It involves strategies to overcome resistance to change and creating an atmosphere for change in the organization. The second step is setting vision accurately describing briefly what leaders are trying to achieve through the change. Next phase is to align power with change effort to develop a network of useful players who interact and give each other support to guide the change process. The next actions are managing a transition like individual objectives needs to be achieved within the set deadline. The most difficult phase is to maintain the momentum of the change program. Strong support from leaders is crucial to show credibil ity in the reform effort (Goetsch Davis, 2014). Recommend strategies for sustaining an organizational change Any organization faces various obstacles like high resistance from members and many others. Therefore successful organization change can be sustained by the effort of top leaders in the organization. Leaders should ensure that they would continue to provide support for achieving objectivity and providing a resource for change. Other strategies for sustenance include reviewing employee performance regularly, sharing feedback about accomplishments, rewarding staffs for good effort and addressing any issue immediately (Proctor et al., 2013). Role of stakeholders in organization change Stakeholders are the influential group of people responsible for the success of change programs. If the stakeholder is involved in the planning process, the chance of distrust in the process reduce, commitment and credibility to the process are increased. Internal stakeholders are responsible for planning goals, and they are consulted in various activities. They estimate the scope and success of the project, manage budgets, allocate resources and identify risk in projects. External stakeholders act only as a consultant; they don't take part in the process (Schaltegger et al., 2012). Ways to measure the success of the organizational change There are several tools to analyze the success of success of change process. It can be measured by tracking what objectives have been achieved and is the change fruitful or not. They can measure KPIs (Key performance index) to analyze its benefit over a certain time period. One can check the significance of investment by checking whether benefits gained are justified for the cost incurred to achieve them. Leaders can measure individual employee and team effectiveness. They can analyze whether a team member is affected positively or negatively by the change. The most efficient method is to compare pre-change and post-change data. This is the most effective tool for determining the success of change program. Charts, graphs or core message can be used to display and share information about the success of change project. If the change is successful, then one can identify which intervention lead to the success of the program, and one can finally conclude that it was a transformational cha nge (Senge, 2014).

Walter Pater and Luca Dell Robbia Aesthetic Ideas Essay Example For Students

Walter Pater and Luca Dell Robbia Aesthetic Ideas Essay A sea of an aromatic royal blue is what first caught my eye in the Museum of Fine Arts. A color so captivating it was almost calling my name. Luca Della Robbias sculpture Virgin and Child with Lilies ? is what I choose to describe. Out of all of Della Robbias sculptures, why did I choose this one? While viewing the sculpture I felt almost a connection with the subjects projected in the art. The mother had only eyes of love watching her baby curiously grabbing at nearby flowers. The angels above also seemed to be watching over the pair; approving of the mothers loving embrace and ecstatic over the childs curiosity and seemingly future genius. The art makes me feel a sort of peace or serenity. Seeing the mother care for her child reminds me of my own mother; it brings me a feeling of nostalgia. The royal blue sky reflects a calmness in me that really has me enjoying the art. Giving me a feeling of pleasure, the art has me totally engrossed in only it. In The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry ?, author Walter Pater describes what he believes a true aesthetic critic should possess and feel when they examine art. We will write a custom essay on Walter Pater and Luca Dell Robbia Aesthetic Ideas specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now One thing Pater says an aesthetic critic should do is to see the object as it really is, instead of abstractly define art or beauty. The critic should instead focus on the effects the work itself provokes. Pater asks a series of questions pertaining to the art. Doe does this art affect me? Does this art make me feel pleasure? What is this specific arts meaning to me? All of these questions should come up when really describing a work of art. Notice how Pater brings up the individual in every question. An aesthetic critic should focus on how that art made them feel and reach to have their best ideas on the work come through. When Pater talks specifically of Luca Della Robbia he conveys how the Tuscan artist has expression in his pieces. The whole essence of their work is expression, the passing of a smile over the face of a child, the ripple of the air on a still day over the curtain of a window ajar. ? (Pater) Luca Della Robbia overcame limitation or hard realism (one sided presentment of mere form) in sculpture. He did this by combining high art and low art (Michelangelo and Greek sculptors) to create both passion and pure form. Pater discusses how you must bring whats inward to the surface to create expression. If I had not ever read Pater, I dont think I would have noticed the piece of art. Remembering Paters advice to the critic, I really asked myself how the art affected me. I noticed how the art individually made me feel and not how it was made for the public; which is something I would not do otherwise. By reading the Luca Della Robbia chapter I was able to witness how Della Robbia really brought new life to his work with color to a could be ordinary sculpture. I really saw how Della Robbia combined high and low art, just like Pater said. The art had a feeling of expression. I saw how hard realism was overcome. I felt as though the piece showed precise details; like the look of the mothers loving face and the childs curious glance. Della Robbia really brought life to the piece, which made it very easy to enjoy and understand. In conclusion, Luca Della Robbia was a very influential artist, that combined sculpting and works of art. He used expression. Because of reading Pater I was really able to understand the art I was looking at. I learned how to really criticize something art I would probably have not looked twice at. I noticed new details and emotions.
