Amoguis CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION “Tardiness often robs us opportunity, and the dispatch of our forces.” -Niccolo Machiavelli A significant number of school-age children have television sets in their bedrooms, and a great many probably are watching a late movie or one of the late-night talk shows when they should be sleeping. When and if they have an alarm clock, they just continue to sleep after it goes off. This was according to Murray Light who was asked to make an article regarding the growing concern of tardiness. Enamiroro Oghuvbu conducted a study in Nigeria to determine the causes of absenteeism and tardiness. He cites that the distance to school, school discipline, family background and school location are some of the common causes of for the tardiness of secondary students. Tardiness is a growing problem according to both of them. One’s tardiness, most especially a student’s, might result to low academic performance for he or she has missed a part of a discussion, making him or her unable to grasp the concept of the lesson.

...universal language, that creates a bridge to reach any and every human being from all walks of life whilst also being the means by which ‘pleasing’ sounds travel in time to affect the emotions. Cobussen, M. (2012) “What is special about humans is not only their capacity to move rhythmically but their ability to entrain their movements to an external timekeeper, such as a beating drum”, it is therefore this possibility to pull on the innate capacity and ability to primarily acknowledge sound, engage in rhythmically movement, develop skill, artistry and mastery whilst also being able to manipulate the elements of sound and rhythm in music to our benefit. Droscher, E. (2006) states “Music is creation - It has been used since the Greek times for healing, communication, relaxation and for enjoyment”. This goes way back to the “Dark Ages” in our history and even though it has been around from even before that time till now, it has evolved into a much seek after and loved creation. 1 Samuel 16 vs. 23 (KJV), makes mention of David being a skillfully harp player, Starr, A. (2009) shares a similar view as Droscher, who also mention that “It all started in ancient tribes when drums were used to communicate over long distances, they found that using rhythm patterns to communicate a message and using large drums it could travel immense distances”. In a Jamaican context its politically correct to say that we use music for the same reason, as it has always existed for procreation and as a tool for...

...learns and retains for later use. Because digital media can be easily integrated into the curriculum, learning becomes a much more accessible and fun event. Most cyber schools encourage the use of videos, audio materials and forums to facilitate learning and comprehension. Many also push for taking to the outdoors as a way to get a real-world understanding of the concepts learned in cyberspace. Both elementary schools and high schools can be completed completely online with no specific time frame required, which means students can graduate as early or as late as their schedule requires. No Need to Travel * A commonly quoted advantage of cyber schools is that lessons can be taken anywhere where a computer and Internet connection are available, making it easy for those in rural areas or who travel frequently to still obtain an education without interruption. While in the past long-distance schools have been criticized for affecting socialization skills, cyber schools now offer forums and virtual meeting points where students can talk to...

...INTRODUCTION Human resource management (HRM) is universal in terms of strategies, policies and processes. The term has gradually replaced personnel management. Managing and developing human resources in the international (global) setting is increasingly recognized as a central challenge, particularly to multinational enterprises (MNEs). Human resource management is both academic theory and a business practice that addresses the theoretical and practice techniques of managing a workforce. While the theoretical aspects of the discipline may also be universal, the same cannot be said of its practice. The paper defines human resource management, the theoretical basis of the discipline, business practice and global or international human resource management. Thereafter, the paper concentrates on global perspective or issues in international human resource management practice. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Human resource management is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms “human resource management” (HRM) and “human resources” (HR) have largely replaced the term “personnel management” as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations. Human resource management can also be defined as the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management...
