...The relationship between the Industrial Revolution and the Russian Revolution offers many interesting perspectives. Whether the former led to the latter and if so, the timing and context of the same, has been a theme of debate. “For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth ... Nothing remotely like this economic behavior is mentioned by the classical economists, even as a theoretical possibility."Robert E Lucas, Jr. When and how did the Industrial Revolution come about? Broadly speaking the complete transformation of manufacturing processes in industries especially textiles and iron marked the boom period of this era. The advent of newer and more efficient forms of technology meant that production leap-frogged generating revenue surplus for the economy. It also meant that the demand for raw materials increased multifold, which translated into more demand for colonies for their supply. Thus, technology boosted economy, which in turn impacted the foreign/strategic policies of the countries in question. Quite expectedly, the Industrial Revolution started in Britain and spread to other countries subsequently. Another facet of the Industrial Revolution was the social...

... listening and empathy skills on the relationship of the customers with the employees. Companies love long-‐term relationships because they translate into returning and repeat customers. Research has shown that it is generally more profitable to service a return customer than to attract and serve a new one (Aggarwal et al, 2005). Furthermore, the effective management of employee-‐ customer relationships has been linked to strategic marketing advantage (Turnbull and Wilson, 1989) and long-‐term profitability (Reicheld, 1994). The employee-‐customer relationships are equally valued by customers (Berry and Parasurman, 1991) and motivate them to make purchases. Because of the importance of the customer-‐employee relationships it is important to examine the factors that influence the perceived quality of this relationship. This relationship quality has a direct affect on the...

...was “Romantic Relationships and Substance Use in Early Adulthood: An Examination of the Influences of Relationship Type, Partner Substance Use, and Relationship Quality” by Charles B. Fleming, Helene R. White, and Richard F. Catalano. This article covered the effects that varying type of relationships have on substance use, and being as I went through these different stages right out of high school so I can relate and appreciate the data. This article was very easy to relate too and to understand how relationships can change you for worst or better, and the way that the data is delivered was straight forward and clear cut so I was able to interpret it clearly. The information that is given in this article was well researched and delivered, and being that this was a research paper it would give good starting points for where I should begin my own research. Although this paper was focused on a limited age range (early adulthood 18-20) it was extremely thorough in retrieving data and offers many areas where you could continue the research and look more into a specific relationship type. This paper covers the opposing affects that differing stages of relationships play on drug use, heavy drinking, and smoking, but this study only focuses on the transition between graduating high school and entering college and gives a small glimpse into what the roles play later in life. The most interesting piece of data that this article had was not only does being in a relationship gives the people...

...The Simple Gift – Essay model A person’s relationship with others and the world around them influences their experience of belonging or not belonging. Discuss this view with detailed reference to The Simple Gift and TWO other related texts. Relationships and experiences contribute to an individual’s sense of belonging or not belonging. This view is clearly evident in The Simple Gift by Steven Herrick and the two related texts _______________ and __________________. The Simple Gift explores the characters of Billy, Caitlin and Old Bill. At the beginning each character feels a sense of not belonging, but this changes as their relationships with each other develop. Billy feels like he doesn’t belong in his world. He is neglected and abused by his father which is conveyed in the poem ‘Sport’. Billy expresses his father’s aggression through the line, ‘gave me one hard backhander across the face, So hard I fell down.’ He also shows his contempt for school in the poem ‘Wentworth High School’ when he begins to sign his name ‘Billy Luckett rhymes with…..’ The only place Billy does experience a sense of belonging is expressed in the poem ‘Westfield Creek’, which he describes as ‘my favourite classroom.’ The language used in this poem is much more positive. Billy’s relationship with Bendarat gives him a sense of belonging, that is carried through in his relationship with Caitlin and Old Bill. At first Billy doesn’t feel he belongs, he uses alliteration to express his preference...

...INTRODUCTION The term "Industrial Relations" has developed both a broad and a narrow meaning. Originally, industrial relations was broadly defined to include the totality of relationships and interactions between employers and employees. From this perspective, industrial relations covers all aspects of the employment relationship, including human resource (or personnel) management, employee relations, and union-management (or labor) relations. Since the mid-twentieth century, however, the term has increasingly taken on a narrower, more restricted interpretation that largely equates it with unionized employment relationships. In this view, industrial relations pertains to the study and practice of collective bargaining, trade unionism, and labor-management relations, while human resource management is a separate, largely distinct field that deals with nonunion employment relationships and the personnel practices and policies of employers. Both meanings of the term coexist in the twenty-first century, although the latter is the more common. ORIGINS The term "industrial relations" came into common usage in the 1910s, particularly in 1912 upon the appointment by President William Taft of an investigative committee titled the Commission on Industrial Relations. The commission's charge was to investigate the causes of widespread, often violent labor conflict and make recommendations regarding methods to promote greater cooperation and harmony among employers and employees. Shortly...

...Bloomed or Doomed? Relationships can be rewarding, yet they can cause frustration and hardship as well. Though there are many types of relationships, each requires a dependency or interaction between counterparts. Many people have a different perspective of what ingredients are needed for a successful relationship or marriage. Some people think they can be compatible only with someone who is very similar to themselves, while others feel that opposites attract. Even though there are many variables to a successful relationship and marriage, there are some crucial elements that need to be constant. If those elements are ignored, the connection may be lost. Jhumpa Lahiri’s stories “A Temporary Matter” and “The Third and Final Continent” demonstrate the need for communication and adaptation between two individuals to have a successful marriage. Communication is mandatory in almost every aspect of life where more than one person is involved. It can mean the difference in any outcome if there is too little or more than enough. Communication can come in many forms such as verbal, non verbal, and physical. As every relationship begins with two strangers who come to know each other better through communication, a lack of communication can cause those who once knew each other to become strangers once more. In Lahiri’s story “A Temporary Matter,” Shukumar and his wife Shoba become very distant from each other after the tragedy of their stillborn child. They create as much space as possible...

...Running head: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND SOCIETY Relationship between Business and Society In today’s economy businesses have a divine responsibility and commitment to its relationship between society, family, nation, religious groups and law. In short, business is the activity which provides a good or service with a social and moral contract to society. Chewning, Eby and Roels (1990) have stated, "Christian businesspeople are to be just that – servants of God who act as stewards in the ways that shows God’s will at work, play, worship and in the family” (p. 194). I opened with that quote from our readings because I truly believe that the relationship between society and business needs to be consistent with the moral ethics of the Bible. There has been an ever changing relationship between business and society over the past fifty years. Chewning, Eby and Roels (1990) have stated, "In recent years there has been a revolution in the way people understand the relationship between business and society” and goes on to state “In the future business will be judged not only for its economic contributions, but for its social, political and moral ones as well" (p. 195). This relationship between business and society is apparent and corporations are adding in values to their policies. After ENRON, many corporations fear being labeled as unethical. Chewning, Eby and Roels (1990) tell us, “A number of other important indicators are more important for the long term: employee...

It also serves as the means to develop oneself physically mentally and socially. Education to the youth manifests itself in terms of the need to cultivate the youth of society into mature individuals.

It is important that the education to aims at youth developing social awareness in these adult-to-be (Manali Oak). Education is vital to the healthy growth and development of one’s personality. In making the ‘beings’ ‘human’ to produce ‘human being’ lies the importance of education to youths. But the transition of teenager’s attention from studying from the feeling of love has grown up. Right from the schools, teenagers find themselves getting attracted to the opposite sex in schools, neighborhood or even because of media which influences their feeling in many cases. Teenage affection has more chances of resulting just because of infatuation. It is highly probable that because of the hormonal changes in this phase of life, we are excited and keen...

...with respect to the clients however; it will also require company resources that include the money and time of the consultant. This is a major reason why ENSR always tries to make their business around geographies. Furthermore, organizing around service lines would help the company in efficiently utilizing the company’s resources with respect to desired level of expertise. Moreover, organizing around industries and clients will be helpful in securing clients more efficiently but with a greater level of expense. Moreover, the key accounts program will also help the company in securing relationships with potential and existing customers of ENSR. 2) How could the BDO solution look like in detail? Who would do what? How would the new organization chart look like? Which problems would be solved, which not? Business Development officers are the ones who are engaged in developing relationships with current and potential clients of the company. The business development officer solution was initially implemented in the 90s era as a part of company’s long-term strategy to boost the growth. As of now, the company needs to have at least 20 to 25 business development officers who would then help ENSR to grow their business. The business development officers will not be like the consultants in ENRS who were paid a salary despite the fact that they are working or not. The primary job of business development officers would be...

...Of the six “Weapons of Influence”, the first one I will discuss will be reciprocity. As this concept in Cialdini’s book, I began to think about the commonly used phrase “If you scratch my back, I’ll scratch your back”. Often this phrase means if you someone does something nice or out of the way for you, it is only right that you return the favor. It is common for people to consider the exchange of gifts when the term reciprocity comes about. On the contrary, it goes more into depth than just physical aspects or noticeable items. For instance, it is used in a great extent in politics and leadership. When I started my job as a waitress, I was inexperienced and fairly young. My manager at the time was just appointed manager and was learning as she moved forwards. She hired me and took a chance that any other manager would not have taken. She was very patient, attentive, and kind while training me and fixing my mistakes. She gave me time and constructive criticism that helped me develop as a waitress. Over the months, I became a hard-working and reliable waitress. Eventually, I was offered a different waitressing position at another restaurant that was better in location and offered better benefits. Ultimately, I had to choose between the two restaurants. The current restaurant that I was working at was having a difficult time keeping dependable waitresses and were constantly hiring and firing. So, I knew that I was maybe one of the last good, reliable waitresses that they had on...

...“What was the relationship between industrialisation and the expansion of the British Empire between 1750 and 1850?” Between 1750 and 1850 Britain had revolutionised internally as a dominant industrial figure in Europe. However, although it would be argued that most advances were constitutional, Britain’s foreign relations also enhanced to a certain extent during this period. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Britain had established itself as the first country to industrialise therefore instantly granting it a dominant position in the world economy, this would continue for a further century. During this time it was also advantaged in acquiring the largest empire seen of its time. This therefore suggests that the two developments had a relationship, as without one the other would have been inevitable. The Industrial Revolution and the British Empire are dependent on each other. There would not be an Empire without the Industrial Revolution and vice versa. Although the revolution that occurred was not political, it did however have a number of implications that followed, advantages included its geographical location and nature, expanding empire and worldwide trade network, growing transportation network, rich supply of natural resources, available labour supply and relatively high labour productivity, and expertise in developing technology. Together, these necessary factors set up a suitable foundation on which an industrial revolution could occur. This...

...Early life and education John Dunlop the eldest of his seven siblings was born on the 5th July 1914 in Placerville, northern California, USA. Here in fertile lands of California His parents, John Wallace and the former Antonia Forni, Presbyterian missionaries owned a pear ranch. In due course of time however, his parents migrated to the distant island of Cebu in the Philippines situated in the western Pacific Ocean, with Taiwan to its north, Vietnam to the west, Indonesia to the south and the open North Pacific Ocean to the east. Here he was raised and educated until he graduated from high school. After finishing high school there, Dunlop and his brother soon after returned to the USA to further their education, he entered Marin Community College in California in 1931 because prestigious four-year universities were reluctant to take a student from such a little known high school.1 He transferred to the University of California at Berkeley, where he received a degree with highest honors in 1935 in northern California. He later transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, the same University which turned down his application for enrolment and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1935 with highest honors. It was during his studies at Berkeley, that he met his fiancé’ Dorothy Emily Webb. The two got married on 6th July 1937. Dunlop continued studies at the University where he earned his PhD in Economics in 1939, delivering the dissertation “Movements of wage-rates in the...

...Unit 1/2 Project Nabila Abdelfattah Modern World History Period 3 Instructor: Stephanie Mikulecky September 28, 2016 The Second Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid industrial development that took place from 1870-1914. This revolution witnessed expansion in electricity, petroleum, and steel. It had great wealth, great expansion, and new opportunities. Although this time period had many developments it wasn’t necessarily all positive. Life was not easy, this age had several disadvantages regarding the following perspectives. Working conditions were tough and extremely dangerous. Moreover; workers were underpaid so the living conditions were low. Workers worked long hours, they weren't at home often which affected family relations. Finally employer-employee relationships grew strained. Working during the industrial revolution wasn’t safe, as a matter of fact it was deadly. Working conditions were extremely bad; factories were not well-equipped in the sense of light and due to the factories being careless many lives were lost. “The factories were not well lit, only letting natural light shine in and a dusty and dirty environment.” Aeration was not healthy for workers; it was full of toxins and fumes. These...
