Introduction In this particular research paper, the major research project is around the question of â€Å"How should RMIT Univer sity address the issue of declining international student numbers in a very competitive global market? † to seek relative factors and then analysis main reasons and influence.The first part of this paper is identification of research purpose and objectives; in this part it briefly describes currently general situation of Australian international students market and most of universities’ behaviours. Especially, this part represents detailed information of international students in Royal Melbourne Institution of Technology (RMIT) and recent important performance, and then combines all mentioned data and information to confirm the research purpose is aim to find out core factors by examine all related elements.Base on the research purpose of this paper, the reasonable and logical methodology should be used in collecting data and distribute the results from data analysis, therefore this article adopts the method of questionnaire survey to collect information from RMIT Unive rsity’s international students. In this particular questionnaire, it concerns the research project to set up eleven progressively questions. And in third part of this paper, it through the main questions in survey to create accurate data results to assist the continuous analysis and final outcomes.At the end of analysis, according to previous detailed analysis of primary and secondary data, this paper suggests several reasonable and active recommendations such as enhance the quality of education system and facilities and so on to support the objective purpose of this research. Finally, the conclusion of this research summarise all findings and emphasize the key improvements which is suggested to RMIT University then help institution to solve current problems. 2. Research Purpose and ObjectiveA number of international students in Australia have increased considerably over many years ago. More people, particularly from Asia-Pacific region, were likely to study in Australia. Man y universities tried to develop educational systems into Australia education standard and undertake assessment of overseas qualification by the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR) in order to attract more international student (Auditor General Victoria, 2002). However, since the global financial crisis in 2008 numbers of international students are decreased by 10% to lowest levels.Margaret Gardner, vice chancellor and president of RMIT University, said that there is likely to be a decline in the total number of international students coming to Australia. This issue can be caused by many factors, that influence dramatically on decision, such as a soaring currency, restriction of visa application, etc. (Mercer, P 2011). Furthermore, students also have other option countries, which are more affordable study destination. All Australian universities are faced high competitive situation.This seems to be very concerning issue due to the fact that an education industry ea rns a massive income from international student. According to Ding, K (2012), international students bring Australia  a huge $16. 3 billion in export income in 2010-2011. RMIT University is one of high reputation universities in Melbourne. It provides 74,000 students, including 30,000 international students inshore and off shore from more than 100 countries (RMIT University, 2012). However, it has also been in the declining of international student numbers situation even numbers of student in higher education was still growing (Lane, B 2011).In 2011, the Australian Government has changed some visa application policies that would help reverse the decline in international enrollments (PIER, 2011). This may bring advantages to all universities, including RMIT University to have more international students’ enrollments. The purpose of this research is to examine various factors, which affect on decreasing in numbers of international student at RMIT University. The issue will be considered thoroughly in order to find out appropriate solution for this situation.As a result, some crucial recommendation will be given to RMIT University to address the issue of declining of international student numbers. 3. Methodology Research was created by RMIT International students in order to investigate the declining of international student numbers issue faced by RMIT University and give some crucial recommendations to address the mentioned issue. Interviewees comprised 26 overseas students, divided by gender half and half from Chinese(14), Thai(2), Taiwanese(2), Malaysian(1), Indian(2), Ethiopia, Saudi Arabian, Pakistan, UAE, and Kenyan.Most respondents were student 21 – 30 age group. This survey consisted of 11 questions. Personal information was surveyed in the beginning, regarding gender, age, and nationality. Other questions were linked to the factors that affect the problem of declining international student numbers in RMIT University. Furthermore, it can b e inferred to some solutions that address the issue effectively. In the second part of the survey, the interviewees were asked about the person who influence most to study overseas, including provide financial while they are studying.The questions focussed on internal factors that encourage international student studying at RMIT University. The next questions pointed at factors from RMIT University. The participants were asked for an opinion about the most popular education level in RMIT University for international student, also ranked a satisfaction of quality of educational system, facilities and student service at RMIT University if they were concern in these factors. The rest of the questions related to external factors, which would influence participants study at RMIT University. The respondents were asked to rank each factor influences’ to study at RMIT University.Additionally, they were requested to show other option country for studying aboard, unless they studied in Australia. The last question asked for the recommendation to attract more international student come to study at RMIT University. A copy of the interview questions appears in the appendix section of this report. 4. Findings and Outcomes Generally, to study overseas will offer international students a better education and more job opportunities. On the other hand, international students also make significant contributions to Australian society and economy. For example, they will bring different cultures to communities and enrich them.The Australian economy as well as universities will obtain benefits from the tuition fees paid by international students or other expenses. As the number of international students declined in Australia recently, RMIT University should pay attention to this issue for the sake of continuous making profits. Therefore, in this section we will analyse why the number of international students declined recently from secondary data which are collected from lite rature review and primary data which are collected from our questionnaires. The following graph shows the basic trends in international student visa pplications to Australia. Fig 4. 1 [pic] (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011) As Figure 4. 1 shows, there is a sharp increase of student visa applications from 2006 until 2008-09 because of the higher reputation of Australian education system. However, the total number followed by a significantly sudden decrease from 2008-09 until 2011. Because of the graph shows the whole trends of international student visa applications, it can be guessed that not only RMIT University experienced the decline, but also other universities such as Melbourne University or Monash University struggled.Moreover, the decline issue has not changed from the end of 2011 and still continued in 2012. The following Fig 4. 2 shows the change of volume of Enrolments and Commencements in different Australian educational sectors. As we can see the total volum e of Enrolments and Commencements in March 2012 declined by -8. 5% and -7. 2% respectively compared with the same month of last year. Especially, the Higher Education sector displays a decrease in Enrolments of 4. 0% and a 6. 0% decline in Commencements compared with 2011 figure. Fig 4. 2 pic](Source: Australian Education International 2012) What kind of reasons that contributed to this situation? According to Deloitte Access Economics (2011), the reasons include the appreciation of the Australian dollar which will increase the living cost in Australia for international students, the change of the General Skilled Migration program which made more difficult for international student to apply the permanent residency and the increased competition from other countries’ universities may also effect the number of international student visa applications.The above analysis is based on the secondary data, next we will use our own data which are concluded from questionnaires to do the further analysis. One question in the questionnaire is: How would you rank the quality of education system of RMIT University? The reason why we ask this question is the quality of education system is an important component of a university. If the quality of a university is good enough and has a higher reputation, then more international students will choose it and vice versa.The responses of this question can reflect international students’ attitudes to RMIT University. The result of this question is showing in the following Fig 4. 3. Fig 4. 3 [pic] Base: International students (26) Q: How would you rank the quality of education system of RMIT University? As we can see from Fig 4. 3, most interviewees which are 13 ranked the quality of education system of RMIT University as Medium. 7 interviewees ranked as High. However, we are very surprised that 2 interviewees ranked the quality as Low. This means they are not satisfied with the education of RMIT University.The reason they gave us why they ranked as Low is they think recent years RMIT University did not improve its education system a lot such as the courses in some programs did not change for a period of time. Combined with this question, we think one reason of declining international student numbers at RMIT University should be the quality of education system is not as good as other universities such as Melbourne University. Fig 4. 4 [pic] Base: International students (26) Q: How would you rank the quality of facilities and services of RMIT University?According to the answers of the respondent in terms of the quality of facilities and services in RMIT University (Fig 4. 4), the result looks like moderate. More than half of answerer (56%) thinks facilities and services quality can be accepted, only 4 students out of 25 who think RMIT University provide a good facility and services, while 28% respondents don’t like the facilities and services. Here, the facilities services, according to RMIT Un iversity, includes maintenance of all mechanical and essential services, mail services, cleaning services, fire and emergency services, and security system (RMIT University 2012).But in the survey, except the facilities mentioned above, the respondent also considers the teaching facilities, library facilities, sport facilities, frequency of social events, administrative services and support, online learning resources, IT support and equipment, university web site, financial support and advice of RMIT University provided. Some students complain that: â€Å"there is always a long line in the hub, in computer lab, and even the printer†, â€Å"no available group meeting room unless I booked it couple of days before†, â€Å"sometimes, I cannot login myRMIT†.Therefore, it is obvious to see that the quality of facilities and services of RMIT University is not a competitive advantage for attracting international student. Fig 4. 5 [pic] Base: International students (26) Q: How would you rank the following factors that influence you to study overseas such as at RMIT University? Knowing the factors that influence student to study overseas is significant to find the reasons of the changes of number of international students. As shown in the pie chart above (Fig 4. ), there are two main aspects that students will consider when they go to abroad for further study, that is, reputation of the university and education system quality, which occupied totally 52% of the all factors that the survey provided. After consider the university reputation and education quality, 15% international student prefer study at the country with the good currency exchange rate. In addition, tuition fee (13%) and social environment (10%) of the expected country as two important aspects will be considered before students choose the overseas university or the country.Few students take into consideration the education policy (e. g. Double degree program in short-term) and the coun try’s immigration policy (e. g. , permanent resident policy), from the survey result, these two policies have the same number of supporter (5%). In this survey question, seven factors were offered, it is clearly that reputation of university, education system quality, education policy and tuition fee refers to the university, while another three factors: immigration policy, exchange rate of currency, and social environment of that country related to the country.Regarding the survey result, compared with the concerns of the country, international students would like put more concentration on the choice of university. Besides, the survey provides an interesting choice, that is, â€Å"which country would you go to study instead of Australia? † Almost every respondent said they want go to USA and UK, and they gave similar reasons, like: â€Å"high quality of education in the world, good education facility, good education atmosphere, weakness of US dollar†. In fact, their opinion of the choice is consistence with the factors affect people study abroad discussed above.Thus, to attract more international students, the university should take more measures to improve their education quality and reputation, rather than relay on the policies of government. 5. Recommendations In the previous section, we have analysed the reasons that the number of RMIT University’s international students declined using both secondary data and primary data. In this section, we are mainly aiming to propose some recommendations for RMIT University for the sake of preventing the declining trend and continuous making profits.The last question in our questionnaire is: If you were reporting to RMIT Executive, what would you recommend RMIT University do to attract more international students? This is an open-end question and the purpose of it is to obtain interviewees’ suggestions about the improvements for RMIT University. Finally, we have concluded 6 recommend ations from all interviewees’ responses for RMIT University to address the issue of declining international student numbers. Improve Education QualityBasically, most interviewees’ first suggestion is about the education quality of RMIT University. Education quality includes many areas such as the quality of programs, courses allocation of programs, physical environment of study and the quality of lecturers. Therefore, we think RMIT University should devote some effects to improving these areas in the future. For example, some courses in the program have not been changed for a long time; RMIT University could allocate different courses for the program after a period of time.This will make the program fresh to students and follow the trend of educational development. By allocating different courses in the program regularly, the quality of program will be improved to a large extent. For the quality of lecturers, we think RMIT University should arrange some training course s for the lecturers regularly to enhance their abilities of teaching and also provide better resources and infrastructures for lecturers. This will improve the quality of lecturers in the long run. Enhance the Quality of Facilities and ServicesExcept the education quality, university’s facilities and services also play an important role in the levels of satisfaction of student experiences. To satisfy international student’s demand in terms of facilities and services, the paper would like recommend RMIT University provide more service counters in hub, and offer more computers in the lab, more group study rooms. For learning resource, more books or journals are required in the library and allowed registered student can assess more online learning resources.Furthermore, provide more writing workshop for international student. More Overseas Advertisements Our third recommendation is about the advertisement of RMIT University itself. We think RMIT University should advertis e itself more in education market especially in foreign countries such as Asian and European countries. In the advertisements, RMIT University should display its unique educational strength such as it is the only university that provides logistics program in Melbourne.Because of the globalization is becoming a trend gradually, the logistics in some Asian countries is boosting its development and demanding more good logistics graduates. As a result, more students want to go abroad to get better education in logistics, so this could be an opportunity for RMIT University to advertise itself and increase the number of international students. Moreover, we think RMIT University should also enhance its cooperation relationships with other foreign universities. For example, RMIT University could introduce more students exchange programs such as study tour and cooperation programs.Cooperation program means international student can study for a period time in his own country’s universi ty and then come to RMIT University to study another period of time to acquire the certificate. This economic way is becoming more and more popular in Asian countries because it can save much cost for students who want to study abroad compared with the way that they apply RMIT University directly. Through this way, RMIT University could also increase its international student numbers. Establish More Scholarship Programs and Reduce Tuition FeeThe next recommendation is about scholarships and tuition fees. Many interviewees mentioned RMIT University should also provide scholarships for international students instead of only providing to PR students or citizens. In fact, most American universities will provide a fairly amount of scholarship to its students regardless of their nationalities. Moreover, as the exchange rate of US Dollar is depreciated currently, more students will choose American universities for better education and scholarship. That is one reason of declining internatio nal student numbers in RMIT University.Thus, if RMIT University could also provide scholarships to international students, the number of students will increase to some extent because Australia has a better environment and society compared with America. This is a significant strength of Australia and an important reason for international student’s choice. Furthermore, tuition fee is another important aspect according to interviewees’ answers. They are not happy with the increase of tuition fee every year. Because the tuition fee is already very high for international students compared with local students.If the tuition fee increases every year, it will be a big burden for international students. According to their answers, they do not hope tuition could decrease, they just hope the tuition fee can keep stable during their study period because they think the tuition fee is an important factor to influence their choice of university. Therefore, we think if RMIT University could consider the issue of scholarship and tuition fees, it will have more chances to increase the number of international students and improve the reputation. Career or Employment SupportThe career support of a university provided is an advantage for attracting international students. Therefore, a suggestion for RMIT University is cooperate or communicate with some companies to offer some practical skill training opportunities to students, enable them obtain the practical work experience and professional skills before they get a job, thus, compared with their peer, the graduates will have more competitive advantage. Besides, RMIT University could provide job information to international students about working in Australia, such as: organise career expo.Take Care of International Student’s Wellbeing A sense of wellbeing is integral to a high-quality experience for international students and is contains accommodation, community engagement and health and safety issues (Counci l of Australian Government, 2010). International students face particular challenges and may require some specialized services to support their wellbeing, because they may be living independently and for the first time in a foreign country with an unfamiliar culture and limited English skills.Apparently, the issues of wellbeing are a responsibility of the council; however, university as an education provider and contact with international students directly, is an important channel to increase student awareness of safety and minimise safety risk by informing students. Therefore, RMIT University can provide safety information and advices to current and future international students and publicise the student personal safety guide to international student at orientation events. In terms of accommodation issues, as we known, there is no accommodation provided in RMIT University.So, for international student’s convenience and safety, RMIT University can cooperate with housing agenc y to provide housing information through school’s bulletin board and website. One survey which was held by Council of Australian Government (2010) indicates that 80 per cent of international students want more Australian students as friends. The paper suggests RMIT University should actively to promote social events, help international students engage with local students and community groups and helps them adjust to the new society and culture. . Conclusion At the end of this report, according to the above detailed analysis and recommendations suggested. In conclusion, the major reason to cause the declining issue happens to RMIT University can be divided into two sections, first one is the integral influence, because of the current international students situation in Australia is indicating an decreasing trend therefore the national factors influence the international students source of RMIT University.The second reason is the social evaluations, concerning the questionnaire survey’s result and analysis; the general evaluations for RMIT University from its international students are obtaining a medium level. Therefore, the results show that the RMIT University service provides to students which is just meet the basic level but not fully satisfied everyone, and most of investigators expect more improvements. Base on the research results, this report suggests several reasonable recommendations to help RMIT University abate current problems.The major opinions include establish more scholarship programs and reduce tuition fee, take care of international student’s wellbeing and improve the quality of education system and facilities. Because of these three suggestions are the key reasons which were reflected on questionnaires research, therefore these performance should be developed first as essential conditions to innovate the whole institution then develop the other parts as long term enhancement and future strategies.

However the company, was re-branded as Felivaru Fisheries Maldives in June 2009 after separating from the â€Å"Mother company† MIFCO.Science then the company has diversified its production line by introducing fast food items, specially â€Å"Ras Ainu† products. The 100% government owned company has the capacity of processing more than 40 mega tons of canning and cooked frozen lions with the help of a cannery which has the capacity of canning 30 tons of raw fish in 8 hours shift (operate in 3 shift daily) and a fish plant which could produce 40 Mega tons of meat daily. At present 7 vessels are been used to collect fish from all over the Maldives and been stored in fish storage capable of storing total 650 tones (Felivaru, 2010). 2.

Product The products of Felivaru can be divided in to 3 different product lines named as Ras Ainu, canned fish and fertilizers. The details of these lines are being show in a figure 1 on ne xt page as the product mix of Felivaru.

Moving on to canned fish product line Tuna steaks in brain can be considered as the â€Å"King† of European market gaining solid 39% market share. Simultaneously other steaks products also became market competitors by acquiring a market share of more than 19%. In domestic market tuna chucks in brain has ruled counting the number to a superb 60%.Other chunks products also have a market share of more than 30% except tuna chunks in olive oil, which only could capture a market share of 7%. Felivaru is the one and only producer of fish meal in the domestic market. Due to the fact of its preemptive advantage they were able to gain a perfect 100% in domestic market. However in international market Felivaru fish meal could only gain 16% of market share. 3. 2 Price Canned fi sh 3. 2. 1 For the products exciting in canned fish product line, there are numerous competitors competing in the market.Due to the fact of this economy pricing policy has been applied to the products in this product line.

However as mentioned early in 3. 1 Felivaru is the market leader. The reason for this is competitors do not have BM/C/41/22 Page 4 MARKETING PRINCIPLES enough production capacity to supply.However when MIFCO comes to the market on second quarter with their mass production capacity the supply would be increased forcing Felivaru to reduce the price in order to remain as a market leader INDIVIDUAL 3. 2. 3 Fertilizers A different pricing policy named penetration pricing strategy is been castoff on fer tilizers. In 2010 the prices has been set relatively low in order to attract new customers and gain more market share. The minute this goal was achieved the price has been increased in different phases. NAME Fishmeal 25?

The main markets for those products are there in Asia and Europe while all other product excluding chucks product are been sold in domestic market. Currently in international market products are been available on selective areas according to demand. Though this in domestic market, Felivaru products can be purchased from almost each and every retailer outlet near consumer residence. Therefore it can be concluded that intensive distribution is being used in domestic market.In domestic market three distribution routs are being used as distribution network which has been s hown next page in figure 2 BM/C/41/22 Page 5 Figure 2 current distribution roots in domestic market MARKETING PRINCIPLES INDIVIDUAL COMPANY OWN SHOP (FELIVARU MAS FIHAARA) COMPANY (FELIVARU) COMPANY (FELIVARU) WHOLESAILERS (STO) RETAILERS Concumer RETAILERS CONCUMERS CONCUMERS However a different distribution network is been used to distribute products to international market which is been shown below in figure 3 Figure 3 International Distribution networkCOMPANY (FELIVARU) AGENTS WHOLESAILERS RETAILERS CONCUMERS Distribution network used both by Felivaru and MIFCO (Major competitors) is almost same. BM/C/41/22 Page 6 MARKETING PRINCIPLES 3. 4 Promotion INDIVIDUAL At the moment Felivaru use advertising as the primary method of promotion. However sales promotion are also been done to attract consumers. The main mean of advertising currently used is television advertisement. In domestic market the advertisement are currently aired from four different TV station (TVM, VTV, Dhi TV, and Raaje TV) for at least 6 times a day.Also Felivaru is the main sponsors of TVM news program which is on air for 5 times a day and a show which is considered as a hit. 4 Market overview Except Disku, Roshi, and Kulhi uvaali all other product mix is likely to provide opportunities, however those products [Disku, Roshi and Kulhi uvaali] has already considered as flops. Therefore it’s better to stop the production of those products and concentrate on new product to replace it. 5 SWOT 5. 1 †¢ †¢ †¢ †¢ †¢ †¢ †¢ 5. 2 †¢ †¢ †¢ †¢ Strength 44 years of experience in producing and exporting canned fish (Felivaru, 2010).

Enjoys free trade inside EU zone. There is a huge brand loyalty for our canned fish (Tuna chunks) in domestic market. Th e one and only manufacture of Fish meal in domestic market. Weakness Huge competition with competitors in both international and domestic market. Recently separated from the â€Å"mother company† MIFCO and has been formed as a new company, due to the fact the company has not yet been well structured.Felivaru has little or no experience at all in international market for selling fast food. Existing 7 vessels are not enough to collect fish from atolls of Maldives.

Therefore either more vessels re needed collect fish or could bullied some collection stations in few areas with a storage facility and the existing vessels can b e used to transport the collected fish from station to factory in Felivaru. 5. 5. 2 Opportunities Legal action can be taken against sellers who sells fake product in their out let under both international law and new copy right law established early this year. Also awareness program through necessary mean could be done to consumer how to BM/C/41/22 Page 8 MARKETING PRINCIPLES †¢ identify the fake product.

Also there are thousands of fishing vessels in the country. 7. 1. 4 Buyers [high]The bargaining power of suppliers would be high as there are many substitutes available in the market. 7. 1. 5 The treat to substitute [high] There are substitutes from other companies like MIFCO which has little or no difference. 8 Assumptions Felivaru expects to increase the collection of fish from the new boats or fish collecting station which would increase the production by 10% to 20%. With the help of this increase in production it is expected to increase the export of chunks by 15%. The prices of oil and water used in canned fish production are expected to be same however the price of fish is expected to raise 4% during the year. Objective The purpose of this marketing plane is to launch â€Å"Felivaru Lobster Bisque† to Maldivian Market on the 40 Anniversary (7th November). BM/C/41/22 Page 10 MARKETING PRINCIPLES 10 Strategy 10. 1 Brief description about strategy INDIVIDUAL Lobster bisque is a creamy and smooth soup of French Origin. It contains Milk, Lobster, Wheat, and Clam. The product is designed in such a way that it only requires to be heated in high temperature for 3 minutes in microwave oven (time very on temperature and also can be heated in a normal cooking store). 0. 2 Target market The target market of â€Å"Felivaru Lobster Bisque† can be segmented to 4 main different segments †¢ †¢ †¢ †¢ Sea food lover’s People who live a busy life People who proffer’s western life style Age between 15 to 45 However more than 95% of the population who fits to the above criteria lives in male’. Therefore it c ould be concluded that the target market for the product is male’. 10. 3 Positioning statement Similar to all other Felivaru products the slogan would be â€Å"GENUIN MALDIVES†.Felivaru lobster bisque is the one and only fast food soap in the market and also the first product made from lobster in Maldives. Therefore the product will be marketed in such a way to get the loyalty of lobster lovers and soup lovers. Also a unique formula has been used to replace the wine in the soap designing it a way as a â€Å"Halal† product. 10. 4 Branding Strategy The brand name for this product is â€Å"Felivaru Lobster Bisque†. As the Bisque is made by Felivaru from lobster the name â€Å"Felivaru Lobster Bisque† gives a simple and easy understanding of what the product is to its customers.The reason behind choosing an English name is almost all people in the target market would understand English and also by changing the name of the product Felivaru do not want b ring any difference to the dish name converting it in to Dhivehi. Correspondingly France is a growing market in Maldivian BM/C/41/22 Page 11 MARKETING PRINCIPLES 10. 5 Product Strategy tourism industry and the English name would attract them to this French origin soup and would help them to identify the product. INDIVIDUALFelivaru Lobster Bisque is a sweet and creamy soup of French origin re-designed by replacing the whine in it with a unique and secret formula to make the product Halal certified to 100% Muslim society of Maldives. The main advantage of Felivaru Lobster Bisque is its easiness and fastness in preparing. Just a 3 minute heating in microwave and the bisque is ready to eat. The bisque is packed in a plastic cup which is 9 inch long and has a diameter of 6 inch. The plastic cup is covered with a paper label which gives information about the bisque.In order to make it easy to distribute 24 cups are been packed in a box as a case. 10. 6 Pricing Strategy The price of Feliva ru lobster bisque is set on per cup basis. Factors such as taxation, cost marketing and cost of production will be considered during the pricing of the product. The total price of a single cup of lobster bisque is MRF 20/- adding only 2% of profit margin as the pricing strategy set by Felivaru for the product is penetration pricing.

Racial and Criminal Profiling Assignment Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2250 words

Racial and Criminal Profiling - Assignment Example In Part III, this paper argues that there is substantial evidence that arrests are still being carried out on the basis of racial bias. Subsequently, it maintains that cultural factors have an impact on crime commitment. Introduction Racial and criminal profiling is one of the pertinent topics, as far as criminal justice is concerned. There are concerns about the use and interpretation of the used statistics. There are also the concerns that the profiled information of criminals always reveals certain flaws in the justice system. This leads to the advocacy of the affirmative action, which attracts various questions and issues. This seeks to respond to various questions regarding racial and criminal profiling such as the mentioned, as well the definition of various terminologies underlying the topic. PART I Response to part 1 This cautionary notice is given on the basis that criminal incidences are governed by a range of factors that are largely ignored based on such simple inferences . What this implies is that such data is likely to be biased in giving the information about the scene on the ground. For instance, the introduction of ranks in terms of criminal incidents to states may serve to reinforce the fact that people from certain states do not engage in crimes as those of other areas. In real sense, such an inference is biased. This alludes to how statistics can be misused or misinterpreted (Campbell, 1974). Response to part 1A Indeed, there are various issues that govern the dynamics of crime; hence, the statistics. One of the points that can be acknowledges is that different areas, cities, counties and states have different factors that shape criminal activities. Areas may differ from others in terms of cultural factors, political uniqueness, crime intervention strategies and unemployment rates, among others. Comparing the crime rates between areas often constrain the way these factors should be captured effectively. In some cases, it might create the all owance for statistics to be abused by authorities and other parties to advance their gains at the expense of others. For example, it can be used by some crime prevention authorities of some states to justify their effort, even when the comparison is hardly objective, as documented by Campbell (1974) on the misuse of statistics. PART II Response to part 2 Prejudice refers to a biased presentation of an event, subject or phenomenon. It is a treatment based on notions that are self or socially constructed, as opposed to the reality Gabbidon and Greene, 2005). For example, ideas will be considered to be prejudiced if they do not present the reality views Response to Part 3 Stereotypes are perceptions or notions that are labeled to certain groups of people but which are barely factual. For example, the notion that women are considered to be a weaker species compared to men is a stereotype (Gabbidon and Greene, 2005). Another example of stereotype is where youths are considered to be a gr oup of people that cannot be trusted. Response to part 4 Discrimination is the treatment of people based on the criterion informed by bias and which can be considered to be hardly objective. It has been argued that it is also possible to discriminate with objectivity, in what is referred to as positive discrimination, while negative discrimination is that which is

Phillipa Foot and Natural Goodness Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 5250 words

Phillipa Foot and Natural Goodness - Essay Example When brought into comparison with contrasting philosophical models, Foot's Natural Goodness is not entirely without merit but it is unfortunately lacking in several features that are readily found in other philosophical structures. Natural Goodness is a set of moral ideas that are expected to differ from individual to individual; Foot understood that while each person might pander to his or her own moral code that these codes were never the same in two circumstances. Phillipa Foot makes a strong case for Natural Goodness but her critics make just as strong a case for its frailties. Foot is a British philosopher dedicated to the conception of philosophical models that explain daily occurrences in society. She is a descendent of the American president Grover Cleveland, was born and raised in the United Kingdom and studied philosophy at Oxford University. Foot's approach to philosophy has been largely aimed at deconstructing other non-cognitive approaches within the field that posit every action is based on sets of circumstances other than though processes. Her work is influenced heavily by Wittgenstein and through her belief that philosophy should be relevant to modern life and offer solutions, she has gained worldwide acclaim with subjects like the so-called "trolley problem" and for generally expanding the ideological pool of ideas in terms of cognitivism. Her book Natural Goodness attempted a different line of logic from her preceding publication, "Moral Beliefs", which presented a case for both cognitive and non-cognitive foundations for different types of ethical behaviour. "Moral Beliefs" expressed Foot's opinion that pieces of a moral character like courage or a sense of justice are cognitively trained, while moral actions are based on logical conclusion without the emotive qualities that they are usually assigned. Turning this idea around in Natural Goodness shocked many of her readers; Foot wrote that emotive qualities of any action or moral belief system were moot. Instead, each personal moral characteristic and each moral action performed by an individual are linked directly to a set of cognitive processes that have logically monitored related experiences and developed a unique moral set of guidelines. Natural Goodness As a philosopher, Foot has faced the issue of human nature incessantly throughout her career. The underlying question in each of her works is "why be moral". She has spent her career trying to discover the true nature of individual morality and understanding whether it is a cognitive reflex of sorts or whether it is indeed more of a non-cognitive feature of humanity as many of her contemporaries propose. Foot's years of study on the subject of morality has led her to stand by her own cognitive approach to ethical behaviour because as she sees it, human behaviour is indisputably based on cumulative experiences and the cognitive processes that deal with a constant influx of information. The brain is designed to deal with information by 'filing' memories in similar fields where they can be cross referenced to their outcomes, the surrounding circumstances and therefore they can each be grouped according to

Story Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 5

Story - Essay Example r which diseases are to be considered rare as a disease may be seen as rare in a one part of the globe, or in a specific population of people but remain common in a different one. Prevalence, which defines the number of people affected by a disease at a certain time, rather than incidence, which denotes the number of diagnoses in a particular year, is issued in the description of rare diseases and this has resulted in estimates that rare diseases affect more than three hundred million people all over the world. Since the prevalence of rare diseases varies between different populations, a disease that is rarely diagnosed in one population may be very common in a different population. This is particularly true in the case of genetic diseases as well as infectious diseases such as cystic fibrosis, which is a genetic disease that is rare in Asia but comparatively common in Europe and people who originate from the continent (Posada de la Paz & Groft, 2010). Numerous infectious diseases are prevalent in specific geographic areas but rare in the rest of the areas while other diseases including numerous rare forms of cancer do not have a specific pattern of distribut ion, as they are just rare. Categorization of additional conditions is dependent partly on the population that is being considered, with all types of cancer in children typically being considered rare as a limited number of children develop cancer but similar forms of cancer may be more prevalent in the adults. Most of the rare diseases are genetic; an estimated eighty percent, and this makes them chronic while other diseases that are rare occur as a result of people being infected and being allergic to certain things or from causes that are degenerative and proliferative. The categorization of the degree of a disease’s rarity is dependent upon the population under study, additionally; signs and symptoms of a number of the rare diseases might be seen at birth or during childhood while others only become

Article Review - Essay Example In his work, his aim is to keep readers entertained, but in his view to entertain, it is clear the author disregards the Populist Party. In the author’s argument on politics and money, the symbols he uses for representation are characterized. Dorothy symbolizes the medium of transport for the local currency; silver is the value of money, and she wears silver shoes, gold also represents the value of money, while green is neutral. The common farmer believed that the yellow brick road† which was the term used to represent gold would cause harm†, but in the real sense it was what was needed to solve all the problems experienced. The argument that populist use the power they have to their advantage shows, as he uses the wizard who takes on many forms, the wizard only agrees to help if there is something to return the favor. The populist showed people a side of them that they knew would be convincing; their true characters and intentions were hidden. The author Frank Baum was not a politician; he was a writer, and that is why he was well informed in the political settings. The article shows how some people are perceived, dumb and stupid. These people never get the chance give their own opinion. The scarecrow in the article represents this group of people. It is lifeless and without a brain, what people do not know is that the scarecrow has a brain. The article engages the addressees; the symbols used help one to understand why this article was reviewed. Each symbol used is relevant to what it represents. In the symbol of the wizard, it represents bad leaders as the article explain how the wizard transform’s, this clearly shows how bad leaders hide who they really are. The article does not explain in depth, how money and politics play a part in this article, it shows their symbols but does not really explain, how this relates with the common people who are the mice, in this article. The articles’ focus is mainly on the populist, it needs to cover all

How are human diets leading animals to extinction and polluting the Essay

How are human diets leading animals to extinction and polluting the environment - Essay Example Consequently, the environment has not been spared by this trend. Combined with the ever changing nature of human diets across the globe, the enormous demand for animals to meet human diet needs is increasingly leading to the extinction of animal species, alongside causing environmental pollution in the process. The social aspect of the global population is characterized by differentiated lifestyles, all of which account for some given form of diet practices. The coexistence of carnivores, vegans, and vegetarians has given rise to myriad human diets, all of which pressure the environment in one way or another. Demand for animal products is always rising, an aspect that continues to threaten the continuity of animal life. Over and above this, diet management has often being ignored by a significant proportion of the human race all over the world. In this respect, a critical component of human diets relies on animals, land, and most importantly the environment. This observation has trig gered the action and reaction of different people, agencies, and government across the globe. For instance, the sustainable development by Sheikh Zayed earned him the Gold Panda award (Todorova, 2011). A direct observation from this is that human activities, and especially diets, have had critical implications on both animal life and environmental welfare. Therefore, the situation needs to be managed by targeting influential factors such as human diet practices. While human diets continue to result in animal extinction and pollution of environment, it is fundamental to consider all the contributing factors to the observed scenario. Population growth around the world has continued to increase at an alarming rate, especially in less developed and developing countries. The implication of this trend has spread to the diet aspect and demand for food. Increase in the global population directly translates to an increase in the demand for food. The global population, having been comprised o f carnivores, vegans, and vegetarians, obtain its food from differentiated sources. In the process, both red and white meats have become a fundamental component of human diets across the globe (O'Sullivan, 2011). As a result, overfishing, excessive hunting, and killing of animals have been realized. Consequently, the environment has suffered immense pressure, thus lacking adequate time to regenerate for the purpose of sustaining global needs; human diets included. As much as human diets need to be changed and/or managed in favor of animal life and the environment, there is a critical need to manage the global population trend. As changes and shifts continue to be realized in regard to human diets, the issue of genetically modified (GM) food has emerged (Detrie, 2011). GM food continues to receive mixed reactions and actions from different people, agencies, and governments around the world. While some parties argue in favor of GM food, others remain against this kind of food. On the same note, there are some parties that continue to be indifferent about the GM food issue. Although, GM food is increasingly taking strong grounds in some countries, health and environmental concerns continue to pertinent issues that need to be addressed. On the same note, striking a balance between science, morals, and ethics has been a challenge in the implementation of GM food around the world (Malek, 2011). The reluctance and resistance facing GM food has

A Critcal Analysis of W. James Work on Varieties of Religious Essay

A Critcal Analysis of W. James Work on Varieties of Religious Experiences - Essay Example James defines religious experiences as feelings and acts of men that are dependent on what is considered to be divine. His method of studying religious experiences is based on the definition. He relies on four forms of experiences (Totor2u, 2009). The first form explains that experiences are unique to an individual and can only be explained by the person who goes through them. The second form gives an insight to the truth while the third one is short lived. Finally, the last experience is supernatural in nature, and it takes over the human body (Totor2u, 2009). His study on varieties of religious experiences addresses the usefulness of religion in human experiences. Given the fact that he does not dismiss the important role played by science in people’s lives, he tries to create a science of religion with the aim of authenticating religion. For James, it is through varieties that unscientific phenomena can be addressed (Pomerleau, 2002). According to his explanation, science cannot be sure whether religious phenomena are genuine or fraudulent. As such, means of dealing with such discrepancies must be developed. However, he agrees that religious accounts may not always be reliable because people tend to profile their experiences around that which they consider most significant (Cho, 1996). James notes that there is a gap between scientific explanation of phenomena and religious reasons that is hard to understand. The level from which situations can be explained through philosophy is different from religious understanding. He acquires evidence from people believe in supernatural forces to control events. The occurrence of unexplainable events is enough evidence to prove that these forces are real. Since it is what an individual believes in, it is perceived to be the truth (Boston, 2000). The point at which things happen without explanation takes the form

Contract law Case Study Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 1

Contract law - Case Study Example As Gavrilovic (2013) has noted, under the Second Schedule of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, a supplier party should make accommodations for the consumer as a way of fulfilling the spirit of reasonableness of contractual terms. In light of these provisions, the University has provided Ms Edwards adequate accommodation of  £20 discount on her weekly rental fee. This accommodation by the University renders her alleged â€Å"unreasonableness† of the institution’s contract terms a, b and c in the tenancy agreement void. Regulation 5(1) of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 provides the definition of an unfair contractual term as one that: has not had the input of the consumer or one that substantially impacts the rights and responsibilities of the parties to an extent that it creates an imbalance of the duties or one that negatively affects the spirit of good faith. In this case, Ms Edwards’ acceptable of the tenancy contract terms offered by the University against other less favourable options provided by the private sector can be construed to mean as a student she negotiated for the lower rental fee (Toms, 2009). A contract term that results in â€Å"significant imbalance† and thus unfair to a consumer, requires that the condition has to be seen as detrimental to the consumer and extremely beneficial to the supplier in terms of profits (Gavrilovic, 2013). In this case, the University did not intend to benefit in any way whatsoever by limiting Ms Edwards’ and any other student’s desire to hold parties within the institution’s premises. In fact, the rule is part of the institution’s duty of care in ensuring that the organization’s assets including the human resources are safeguarded from any harm within the University’s property. In light of this second rule, the contractual terms are fair and reasonable to the plaintiff. Lastly, the terms which the

Distributors Essay Example for Free

Distributors Essay Manufacturers use a number of alternative intermediaries to make their products available to their target customers effectively and efficiently. These intermediaries share the different marketing activities with the manufacturers. Distributors are very popular intermediaries both in consumer marketing and business to business marketing. The three commonly used distribution strategies by manufacturers are exclusive distribution, selective distribution and intensive distribution. In exclusive distribution the distributors are given sole rights to distribute the company products in a given geographic area. This type of distribution is favored when the products being marketed are exclusive, unique or prestigious. In intensive distribution the company sells its products through a large number of distributors and dealers to reach maximum number of consumers in the target segments. It is favored by companies that operate in intensively competitive sectors like the FMCG markets. In selective distribution companies use very few distributions to sell their products in a given geographical area. Of late manufacturers are constantly tempted to shift from an exclusive or selective distribution strategy to a more intensive distribution strategy to reach more number of potential customers for their unique, exclusive and prestigious products. However though this shift may help the manufacturer to increase the sales in the short run it will have a major impact on long term results. Because of this shift the product will loose its uniqueness, exclusivity and prestige of possession and the potential target customer may shift to more exclusive brands offered by the competitor. The company may also loose the loyalty and support of its existing distributors in marketing and service activities. The customers may also refuse to pay a higher price once the exclusivity is lost thus impacting the financial performance of the company in the long run.

Wemmick - Character Analysis Essay Example for Free

Wemmick Character Analysis Essay In an abstract manner Doyle uses Watson to represent the reader in terms of resemblance of attributes; for instance both the reader and Watson are both ignorant of many important intricacies of the case so that they both rely on Holmes to decipher the details for them. Also it could be suggested that both Watson and the audience are trying to escape a much more tedious life and indulge in the exhilarating escapades of Sherlock Holmes. Furthermore the questions that Holmes asks Watson also probe the reader to answer the question for themselves; this is major attraction to this genre, the sense that they are solving a crime. This teamed with the fact that a Victorian audience would be able to relate even more specifically, on different levels, with Watson due to the relevance of him being a Victorian gentleman of which the readers would have been familiar with. Watson is particularly descriptive which gives the reader a real sense of the location and atmosphere. The vocabulary is also characteristic of Watson with the many words being adjectives repeated from story to story. An illustration of this point is the word ejaculated to describe the abrupt vocalizations of someone; this all gives a sense of familiarity with the stories and also a rapport with Watsons character. This sense of security that familiarity brought was badly needed by a Victorian audience who were unsure of their safety due to the lacklustre crime prevention of the police force. Unlike the Victorian police Sherlock Holmes always captured the criminal which was exceptionally reassuring at the time. Holmes and Watson are two very different characters with one common goal, to apprehend the guilty party in whatever mystery they are both entangled in. This contrast in character serves again to glorify Holmes as a gifted detective, this works in the way that Watson is a rather passive character or Holmes foil if you will, which leads most of the proceedings to be conducted by Holmes which shows in a positively intellectual light. The contrast in the logical awareness of Watson and Holmes leaves Holmes appearing almost omniscient compared to the usually clueless Watson. This technique is also used with the numerous police inspectors Holmes employs to do his bidding, each time they look the fool whilst Holmes seizes the acclaim. This is technique used by Doyle to idolise Holmes to the reader. The language used throughout the Sherlock Holmes stories is intensely descriptive as to quench the readers thirst for all the aspects that could have effected the mystery incurring. In historical context this ultra-descriptive style of writing was a more necessary feature in a pre-television era, however in the twenty-first century a readers desire for a detailed picture of other human life is fulfilled by other more advanced forms of media. This is perhaps why, in my experience, readers of the present time period are not exhilarated by the, at the time innovative, detailed style of writing. Watson is very much used as tool by Doyle, in all the ways suggested throughout this essay but also in a different, more political manner. In the Holmes stories Watson conveys the generalised views of an upper class society at the time. The ideals concerned included a negative look upon drugs and an opinion that they are used, or abused, by the subordinate social groups. Watsons, or Doyles, views are shared in this quote You should be ashamed of yourself! This is Watson taking a stern view upon one of his own noble friends indulging in a couple days in an opium den. Watson is also especially respectable of all women throughout the stories, chivalry being an exceptionally valued commodity in Victorian times. Watson, or better still Doyle, is a voice of the Victorian era, which is why the stories were so popular at the time. Further still Watson gives a social commentary of Victorian London which, as you can imagine, would be most interesting to not only Victorian Londoners but also Victorians that lived in other areas but were curious of the cosmopolitan lifestyle of London. Watson teamed with Holmes gives them this along with a descriptive and arguably a thrilling story. In conclusion my belief is that, yes, Watson is a better suited narrator for a Victorian audience rather than a modern audience, this being because of the chronologically social relevance that would supply greater interest for a Victorian reader. However disagreement is found with the statement that Watson is an inadequate narrator for twenty-first century reader as the stories still raise a lot of interesting issues and remain a thrilling read due to the exciting adventures Holmes embarks upon. An objection modern readers have is that the stories are formulaic and therefore tiresome however for the Victorian audience this was an essential feature to bring a sense of security into their generally uncertain lives. There is no doubt that the Sherlock Holmes stories are written for a Victorian audience however this does not exclude modern readers from finding the same overall enjoyment from the stories. The fact is that certain features may not be relevant to a modern readers interests or experiences in a modern life. A plus point is that because of the impression made, upon the stories, by Victorian life that Sherlock Holmes is a useful research tool for that time period. Additionally it is not a question of Watson being unsuitable for a modern audience but instead it is an issue of the crime stories themselves being relevant and therefore enjoyable for a modern audience.
