...Manpower planning has in the past relied too much on the forecasting of manpower requirements in an organization or a society. It should be more concerned with gaining a better understanding of people, and how to develop and match their skills to what organizations or societies require. Employees should be involved in the formulation of manpower policy objectives. Manpower planning involves a ‘stocktaking’ of the workforce and its skills; forecasting the future demand and supply of skills; and diagnostic approach so that adjustments can be made to meet organizational and/or country objectives. The essence of the diagnostic approach is in the understanding of the reasons for any imbalance between the supply of and demand for manpower. What is Manpower Planning? Discuss the process and importance of Man Power Planning in an organization . Ans. Manpower planning means planning means deciding the number and type of the human resources required for each job, unit and the total company for a particular future date in order to carry out organizational activities. Manpower planning may be viewed as foreseeing the human resources requirement of an organization and the future supply of human resources and (i) making necessary adjustments between these two and organizational plans and (ii) foreseeing the possibility of developing the supply of manpower resources in order to match it with the requirements by introducing necessary changes in the functions of human resources management.

...Answer any five of the following questions. 2. What is the General Adaptation Syndrome, explain with an example. Scientist Hans Selye (1907-1982) introduced the General Adaptation Syndrome model in 1936 showing in three phases what the alleged effects of stress has on the body. In his work, Selye - 'the father of stress research,' developed the theory that stress is a major cause of disease because chronic stress causes long-term chemical changes. He observed that the body would respond to any external biological source of stress with a predictable biological pattern in an attempt to restore the body’s internal homeostasis. This initial hormonal reaction is your fight or flight stress response - and its purpose is for handling stress very quickly! The process of the body’s struggle to maintain balance is what Selye termed, the General Adaptation Syndrome. Pressures, tensions, and other stressors can greatly influence your normal metabolism. Selye determined that there is a limited supply of adaptive energy to deal with stress. That amount declines with continuous exposure. Going through a series of steps, your body consistently works to regain stability. With the general adaptation syndrome, a human’s adaptive response to stress has three distinct phases: ALARM STAGE - Your first reaction to stress recognizes there’s a danger and prepares to deal with the threat, a.k.a. the fight or flight response. Activation of the HPA axis, the nervous system (SNS) and the adrenal glands...

...described. Gender equality is described as a status in which men and women enjoy equal opportunities and rights in all sectors in a society, this includes decision making, economic participation, politics, and in different behaviors where men and women’s needs and aspirations are all valued and favored equally. Nevertheless, different culture treats men and women in certain ways in line with their tradition or religion. In The United Arab Emirates countries most of the countries here strictly follow the Muslim faith, with these, women’s freedom are restricted. They are not treated as equal being with men being given absolute power and authority. This gives them the right to discipline their spouses which is a tradition and a way of life here, and that’s how men and women are brought up. Women have little access to higher education and they seem to be content with it since most do not know about their rights. Leaders are male and thus always enforce laws that favor them. In this culture gender equality is when women’s observe the set rules and adhere to the traditions. In African tradition gender equality is none issue since women are disregarded here since tradition plays a key role in how they conduct their business. Here there are roles and work for certain gender, women are to work at home and be the custodian of her husband’s properties. Girls are made to marry early with no right to choose for their preferred partner. Male are the head and leaders whose decisions are final. In...

...Development over Environment: A Pledge to Converse this Trend Introduction The second a child comes on this earth, since that moment he starts developing. For a better and positive development of that child, we proudly implicate for a better and hygienic environment. But in the present scenario, things are a bit different from that of past as yesterday was greener than today. Both development and environment are necessary elements for the survival of a society or a habitat but with the growing or developing economy, at some point of time one has to compromise with the environmental development. Developing nations like India, China, Brazil etc, which are developing economies are ranked in the list of top 10 Green House Gases (GHGs) emitters. It is, by this example, clear that the developing countries in the scale of economy are bigger polluters than the under-developed countries. The trend of development at the expense of environment is being strictly checked by the judiciary, municipal laws and international treaties and customs. Recently, the honourable Supreme Court of India has quoted that development is a trait of progressive society but shall not be made at the cost of environment. It does not take an environmental expert to realize that the world is changing. The global average surface temperature is rising and the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. Many species are experiencing changes in their patterns of growth and migration due to...

...terms of how they reflect specific assumptions about children and education. Furthermore to evaluate how these ideas have impacted children’s education in both the past and the present. Liberalism requires members of society to develop liberal ideas such as individualism and independence amongst the likes of John Locke who wrote a book called ‘Some thought Concerning Education’ (1893) which emphasises the significance of early education in the home. “upbringing in the home is crucial for the development of good character” (May, 1997, p. 3). Rationalism is another imperative feature of the Age of Enlightenment as people used theory to make sense of human development along the likes of Rousseau. His book, ‘Emile’ is about the development of a young boy becoming a man using his ideas for child rearing. “education should be a response to the child’s curiosity and interest to natural world.” (May, p. 39-40, 2005) This theory was put into practice by Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi who was so impressed with his ideas that “he attempted to rear his child according to Rousseau’s principles” (May, 1997, p. 11). The Enlightenment implies equality necessary for females to be educated alongside men to allow for equal opportunity. In Wollstonecraft’s book ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Women’ (1792) she protests for women’s rights in society. May (1997, p. 8) points out that she “argued for the liberal principles of equality, freedom, and rationality for women”. There were both inequalities...

... Humanity has evolved from the essence that separates humans from beasts. The ability to use the mind for reason. Reason is the ability to analyze, create, deduce, and formulate. It is reason that enables human beings to strive to invent; it is through invention that mankind has developed society and created a better world. We could say that technology is the sum total of instrumentally useful culturally-transmissible information. Technology is a word used to collectively describe or portray the advancements, abilities, creations, undertakings, views, and knowledge of a singular group of persons: we as human-kind. When there is talk about the relationships between technology and humanity, it is evident that we have to deal with the interrelations between some very complex phenomena. Technology, science, society or systems of societies, and systems of rights of a universal nature. The discovery and development of a large number of powerful energy sources-coal, petroleum, electricity etc. have enabled humanity to conquer the barriers of nature. All this has facilitates the growth of fast modes of transport, which in turn has transformed the world into a global village. In the “old days”, we used phones for talking to each other. That was it. Not for texting. Not for browsing the web. And not for playing Angry Birds (a nightmare, I know). In the past, technology was a bonus, not a necessity. We did not rely on technology to get from point A to point B. We did not...

...the last two decades to promote the interest of females. From ancient times, the empowerment of women was perceived as a taboo by numerous cultures. In those cultures the subject of women being entitled to live in dignity and total freedom was prohibited. As such, there were violence against women, economic and political discrimination and other forms of inequalities that were deemed acceptable. “Gender equality refers to a situation where both men and women have equal rights and opportunities at all times and where this concept is recognized and respected by all members of society” (Woman Powah, 2007)During the eighteenth century, a considerable amount of recognition was given to the ‘rights of women’, since, the empowerment of these individuals were seem as crucial for contributing to the health of productivity of whole families and communities which would consequently give rise to improved new generation. In Europe during the eighteenth century, gender equality gained political social and philosophical attention when Olympe de Gouges published the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizens, modeled on the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. Guyana has recognized the importance of gender equality, and as such, in 1976 there was a presentation in parliament of a state paper on Equality for Women and in 1990 there was the Equal Rights Act. Since the establishment of the Equal Rights Act, Guyana has taken measures to empower women in some areas...

There are many artists, musicians, writers, poets, etc. alive today than there have been in history yet we complain about the quality going down in every field just because we do not immediately find such talent present amongst us. 2. Technology these days is taken for granted by the youth (for example, the invention of smartphone) which if we see, is a magical object in the human history that kingdoms would have gone to war for. 3. The vital point left out to be discussed is the invention of birth control. Each woman has a right to choose when she wants a child. Birth control is important in overcoming problems such as over population, climate change, etc. We need such essays to give us an insight into how far have we worked and how more do we need to improve in achieving such accomplishments.

Following his studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and Brandeis University, Oswald went on to teach courses at multiple seminaries on the subject of the Old Testament. Due to his years of teaching, he followed the current thought in the scholarly world in reference to the Bible and the subject of myth. In a sixty year gap, scholarly thought went from a popular view of the Israelite thought being completely separate and unconnected to the ancient near eastern thought to currently seeing Israelite religion as simply one more of the complex West Semitic religions. Scholars shifted to view the Israelite religion as a result of evolutionary change where the religion developed from the effects of time and a similar worldview to the world around. The introduction brings up the discovery of such evidence as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the texts found at Ugarit. Oswald...

...NS2015-0028 Human Development Studies B ASSIGNMENT 1 FPDS021 Karin Sonderland Table of Contents Introduction | 2 | Body | 2 | Conclusion | 4 | Bibliography | 5 | Introduction The question on whether democracies are actually required for development to take place is inadequate. In this research, I examine how a democracy forms policies that overcome poverty traps and increase development. Democracy is certainly a set of ideas and principles mainly about freedom, but it also involves of practices and procedures that have been molded through a long, and often torturous history. This paper discusses how democracy has been reliable with growth and examines the relationship between development and democracy. Growth has a decreasing effect on democracy because political leaders have full motivations to obey the rules of democracy beyond a particular edge of development. Moreover, the effects of development are facilitated by the arrangement of the international system. The evolution in politics was required to generate conditions which are beneficial towards the development of the economy, but contestation of policy and the increasing levels of corruption is now failing stock and causing unemployment. The link between democracy and development isn’t an easy one. Lipset (1959) and Barro (1996) claim that development in developed capitalist countries leads to more demands for political freedom. There are many causes why democracy weakens development; it is linked...
