Often gender and sex are used interchangeably, but gender is socially constructed and sex is biologically determined. The word gender has been used since the 14th century but this did not become common until the mid of 20th century. In human societies sex differences are experienced as gender differences. Concepts of gender are cultural interpretations of sex differences. Gender is related to sex differences. Gender depends on how society views relationship of male to man and female to woman. Every culture has prevailing images of what men and women are ―supposed‖ to be like. The concept of an ideal woman exists in every culture...

...This essay will respond to the following statement: “It could be argued that when one thinks deeply about the future, this thinking provides possibilities to change behaviour in the present.”. With this in mind, the challenges and benefits of ecologising education now and for the future will be discussed further. We enjoy many of the beautiful landscapes of our vast land, but if we take a closer look, we begin to see that the Earth is truly in the midst of an environmental existential crisis. The average Australian’s ecological footprint is 7.8 global hectares per capita, which amounts to three Earths, to sustain the lifestyle we have at present (Network, 2012). This statement is rather confronting, as it prompts the thought of a possible diversion from the direction that humanity has followed in the past. It is a wakeup call to those that inhabit this planet, as this is a crucial time for making changes that are sustainable; one does not have the luxury of time for deep contemplation. Now is the time for acting. Potentially the most effective way to ensure that the resources, social and economic stability and the environment of the present day will be sustained for future generations is through educating present and future generations in conservation, sustainability and incorporating an ecological approach into our curriculum and pedagogy. The value of education for sustainability (EfS) is increased awareness of all who live on this land, communities, educational...

Insurance is a business of selling commitments and here is a case where this was broken. Unfortunately the product was mis-sold. Mis-selling is not unique to insurance and happens in various lines of businesses (loans, credit cards, investment products, pharmacy, hospitality etc.), but Insurance being an intangible service – the principle of Caveat emptor prevails in insurance. Often, the intermediary does not fully explain the policy details to the customer. Or the buyer (insured) is in a hurry and doesn't care to check the fine print. There have been cases reported where the agent deliberately misguided the buyer. Discussing an example of mis-selling: A person aged 54, having a handsome amount of savings with him and having no dependents (no kids and wife has passed away a few years ago), has no need of a term insurance (death benefit) but the agent may sell him this policy. A common practice that is seen in this regard is where the agent sells the policy promising a single premium mode or a limited term policy but it actually turns out to be a regular premium mode. And the customer has no option but to surrender the policy or stop paying the premium. According to a survey conducted by Ernst & Young, compared to different types of frauds, insurance companies are most affected by “mis-selling”...

...recruiting cost while also acquiring the talent needed to help the organization succeed. According to Hauer (2004), while online recruiting saves money, it also saves time on the applicants behave as well as the company’s. The Internet is everywhere and it’s the fastest most affordable way to attract qualified applicants to fill vacant positions. Traditional ways of recruiting such as newspaper posting can be very expensive while limiting the content needed to attract the specific qualified individual the company is seeking. Most online job boards allow employers unlimited space to sell their organization to the right candidates. Newspapers price ads by the amount of space being used so it becomes very expensive to post important details about a particular job. Online recruiting offers convenience of being able to apply for jobs anytime and anywhere. Human resource (HR) professionals aren’t available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to accept resumes from potential applicants. This also allows job seekers who are employed to search for other jobs since Traditionally, HR professionals also had to take countless hours to shuttle through enormous amounts of resumes, whereas job boards allow employers to set up screening questions to help filter through resumes with the most potential. This permits the recruiter to tackle more productive, revenue generating tasks. Before, applying for vacant positions was very tedious and timely, but now with the help of online job boards the process...

...Unit 4 and 5 Evaluate the purpose of different types of career guidance interviews Evaluate methodologies to explore the career guidance and development needs of clients Corney and Watts (1998) define information and advice as; ‘providing an immediate response to the needs of clients who present an enquiry or reveal a need that requires more than a straightforward information response. Advice is usually limited to helping with the interpretation of information and with meeting needs already clearly understood by the client…’ Advice and information is therefore concerned with meeting client’s presenting issues relating to information. The OECD (2004:10) definition of guidance is; ‘Career guidance refers to services and activities intended to assist individuals of any age, and at any point of their lives, to make educational, training and occupational choices and to manage their careers’. This reflects the variety of activities that may take place in supporting clients to move forward. Guidance is about helping clients to understand their own needs, set and review career goals, understand any barriers and to produce action plans. Hambly (2008; 16) refers to the iceberg analogy to explain the process of guidance. The top of the iceberg represents the clarifying and meeting of presented needs which is advice and information and the bottom of the iceberg is about exploring additional needs which is guidance. The guidance element may be about exploring high leverage...
