...Abstract This study aims to determine if Haram foods actually affect the health of Muslims WHETHER GOOD OR BAD. THE RESEARCH PAPER examined DIFFERENT KINDS OF HARAM AND HALAL FOODS AND THE DISADVANTAGES OF NOT ACQUIRING HARAM FOOD like not getting a certain nutrient from a Haram food. The researcher's hypothesis is that there are positive and negative effects of haram foods to the Muslims, IT MIGHT BE REGARDING HEALTH OR THE DIET OF THE MUSLIMS. The research paper will also show what the Muslims do to compensate for not eating Haram foods and the reasons why they are not allowed to eat Haram foods. The researchers first think of the topic that is inclined to their line of specialty then the researchers’ created an outline that will guide the research along the right path and to search for books, journals, & websites that would help them produce this research paper. Effect of Haram food to the health of Muslims There are many types of food but to the Muslims, there are 2 more kinds that depict whether the food is permitted to be eaten or not. These categories are called Halal and Haram. They have no certain advantages and disadvantages but the question is, does Haram food limit or affect the actual health of the Muslims? An important issue that has been with humanity even after generations have passed is the issue of what is right and what is wrong. It is part of our nature to be selfish sometimes if not, most of the time. Laws and some certain substances...

...taboos exists in several religions; its presence has been there for many years. The significance of taboos may be because of health concerns in the sense that certain taboos may reduce, and suppress people to eat a certain food item or act upon something which may have a negative impact on our health both mentally, and physically. Another reason may be to prevent people from upsetting the gods or goddesses. The third reason is for the community to have an order in their government as well as the proper regulations in the economy. One of many taboos that are present in the modern day is the dietary restrictions in the Judaism religion. This specific taboo is known as Kosher or Kashrut, among Jewish people (Rich, 2011). It originates from Torah, a holy scripture which dates back several years ago (Religious Laws: Taboo Foods in Judaism). Some of the restrictions the taboo states are that people should not eat pork; meat and dairy products that come in contact, and shellfish. The concept of this taboo is similar to other religions such as the Hindu and Islamic religions. To begin with, the reason behind not consuming pork is that pigs or meat from this species are considered unclean therefore restricted because of hygiene issues (Religious Laws: Taboo Foods in Judaism). The taboo also restrains people from eating meat that come from animals that do not have cloven hooves or chew their own cud, for instance pigs and hares (Rich, 2011). Another dietary restriction is shellfish,...

...In an era where you can find information on almost anything looking it up on the internet, misinformation can too spread rapidly. For this reason, it is important to know what the Bible actually says. Creating any sort of argument or worldview on misinformation is like trying to attract a cow with a steak, it does not work out well. For example, one common misunderstanding that is frequently is that it is a sin to eat shrimp. Although Leviticus 11:9-12 states that scaleless, finless sea creatures are not allowed to be consumed, this rule only applies to the Jewish faith. With the establishment of a new covenant, some of the laws in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) have been nullified. This rule was one of them. In addition,...

...Culturally Competent Group Paper: Muslim Americans Culturally Competent Paper: Muslim Americans American Muslims are a growing minority group that share a religious identity, but are ethnically and racially diverse. In the United States, the largest ethnic groups that identify as Muslim include US born African Americans, immigrants from South Asia, and immigrants from the Middle East (Padela & Curlin, 2013). Despite the ethnic diversity within Muslim Americans, Padela and Curlin (2013) state that empirical research shows that “religions shape their adherents’ understanding of disease and illness, their health-related behaviors, their interactions with and expectations of the healthcare system, and their adherence to medical recommendations” (p. 1334). Thus, in order to provide culturally competent care to patients that practice Islam, nurses must have an understanding of the Muslim patient’s religious practices and influences. Muslims believe in the integration of daily prayer, spiritual medicine practices, and reading of the Qur’an, the religious text of Islam, with modern medical treatment. Therefore, healthcare beliefs are informed by their religious views and practices. Health is essential to Muslims because their faith compels them to maintain optimal health by practicing everything in moderation such as praying, exercising, working, and eating. On the other hand, illness can be indicative of penance of sin or a test of a Muslim’s faith. When illness...

...Introduction Founded in 1993, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. has expanded from a local favorite consisting of a single location in Colorado to an international chain with over 1500 locations today. There are countless example of various corporations that experience growth trends similar to that of Chipotle’s, however, as a result of the rapid expansion and gains in sales, most of these corporations tend to neglect their corporate social responsibilities (CSR). Chipotle, on the other hand, does not fall susceptible to this trend. Through a complete examination of Chipotle’s CSR initiatives and activities, as well as detailed explanations of Chipotle’s contributions to the three “pillars” of sustainable development, one is able to see that Chipotle is a leader and an innovator in its industry regarding the corporate management of ethical dilemmas and moral responsibilities. A thorough comparison with a similar corporation in the same industry, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Inc., provides further evidence that Chipotle places immense value corporate transparency and quality morals in addition to being a genuinely ethical and responsible corporation.

...Filipinos are food lover. Filipinos do not consider it a meal if rice is not served. Plain steamed rice is the basis of the diet. Three crops a year are harvested to provide enough rice for the population, and the government keeps surpluses stored for times of drought. Salt water and freshwater of fish and shellfish are eaten daily, served either fresh or salted. Fish, chicken and pork are usually fried, although people are becoming more health-conscious and often choose alternative methods of cooking. Garlic is added to food because it is considered healthful. Filipino food is not spicy. All food is cooked on gas burners or wood or charcoal fires and is allowed to get cold before it is eaten. Rice is cooked first, since it takes longer. When it is ready, rice will be placed on the table while the next items of the meal are prepared and served. Table knives are not used. Forks and spoons are used for dining. The food is eaten from a spoon. The traditional method of placing food on a banana leaf and eating with one's hands is also used throughout the country. It is acceptable to eat food with one's hands at restaurants as well as in the home. Breakfast is served at 6 A.M. and consists of food left over from the night before. It is not reheated. Eggs and sausage are served on special occasions. Small buns called pan de sol may be purchased from vendors early in the morning. At midmorning and in the afternoon, people eat merienda. Since Filipinos are fond of sweet foods, a mixture...

...are descriptive but don’t go into detail, mostly explains how things were ran at a farm or plantation in the south during these times. Researchers also explain in these two sources how the work on the fields was done and what punishment was given for wrong doing done by the laborers. The first of the two sources illustrates the many ways laborers showed defiance against their masters. One of the entries suggests that some slaves did eventually get away; it says that two of them ran away and only Charles got away by shoving one of the men aside in the sheep pen. You can also begin to ask why more slaves didn’t revolt if they were so strong and so many got away eventually. Another overseer Elisha Cain, writes how her slave “Darkey” would disturb practically the whole farm and punishing the slave would only make it worse as she then threatened to poison their food. Its quite understanble why slaves did this but most of them didn’t in fear that they would either be sold or just being whipped was a great chastening. Looking further into the first source it demonstrates that women were used for ploughing just as much as men. It goes step by step as to saying most ploughing was done in the months of March and April and that it took barely a week for the cotton to start rising and ten days before the first hoeing commenced. When a new hand or slave were brought in they were whipped and told to pick as much as they could, when finished they would weigh it and every night after that...

...the series of strategies they used throughout the years in building its success. From the beginning there was only a local food stand more like the food trucks on the streets now to becoming the multi-billion corporation with over a billion employees. The way McDonalds is able to penetrate through different markets around the world is very amazing because they may be the only fast food brand that could be found around the world with the possibility of finding one just at a corner near you. The brand is well known around the world yet they may only know the name and that it is a fast food restaurant. Yet different countries or cities may have discrepancies in menu engineering where the company accommodates to the food preferences of the people or the culture of the regions. As many may know, operating a hospitality establishment requires much effort to maintain and operate while the failure rate of restaurants are statistically calculated to be quite high. As discussed by the “RestaurantOwners” website, “Within a 90 percent confidence interval, CRG found that the first year failure rate for startups averaged 23 percent over four years in that market. Based on the study, you could say that there is a one in four chance a new startup will fail.” Nonetheless all company may have there ups and downs while the McDonalds Restaurants brand reign in the fast food market for several decades based upon its loyal customers. McDonalds have also suffered in times where the brand itself was...

...cultural behaviors Tara Fisher South University 11/22/10 Mexican cultural behaviors Each culture has certain beliefs and values that have strong influences on how they live their lives. In this case study, we will review the interactions between a nurse and a male Mexican patient. Case Study In caring for Mr. J.G. a man of Mexican descent, the female nurse enters the room to give discharge instructions. She enters the room and rapidly goes down her checklist of the things that Mr. J.G. must do after discharge. The nurse has had a long day and leans over the bed table to take some stress off her back. Ten minutes later Mr. J.G. calls and asks for the nurse-in-charge and complains about the rude nurse who was just in his room. Why did the patient consider the nurse's behavior rude? How would you as a professional nurse deal with such a situation? Review of the Nurses Behavior In the Mexican culture, family, respect and modesty are important values. In this scenario, the nurse provides the patient with educational information in a hurried manner while leaning over the bedside table. It does not appear that she had built a rapport with the patient. She did not include the patient’s family nor did she take the time to find out who would be involved in Mr. J.G. home care. Modesty is a highly valued belief in Mexican culture. When the nurse leaned over the bedside table, this may be viewed as a lack of modesty and respect by the patient. Mexican cultural behaviors ...

Oglethorpe wanted wanted to get rid of depth. Agriculture- In the Southern Colonies several things were grown. The most popular crop was tobacco. The Jamestown colonists had grown tobacco originally, and tobacco farms sprung up all over Virginia and North Carolina. The two southernmost states (South Carolina and Georgia) grew mostly indigo, rice, and sugar. Georgia made most of its money off of these three cash crops. Foods- As far as meat goes: whatever they could catch, shoot or hit with an axe. Turkeys, deer, rabbits, fish and turtles, plus beef and pork from the animals they imported. The cows were also kept for the consumption of milk and butter. As far as plants go: lots of grains, including wheat and and rice and barley, which was also used to make small beer.

...ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF PERDUE FARMS INC. Analysis of the Organizational Structure of Perdue Farms Inc. Ashton Smith MGMT 630 1121 February 23, 2014 My reason for constructing this analysis is to measure the organizational structure of the Perdue Company by using the Marcic Dimension Scale. This scale evaluates organizations by various categories that help develop a better understanding of how complex an organization might be. The categories I have chosen to assess Perdue include specialization, technology, culture, goals, and size. These dimension factors along with others allow managers to understand exactly how a company operates. Specialization The term specialization is defined as “the degree to which organizational tasks are subdivided into separate jobs” (Daft, 2010). Perdue Farms has divided its tasks by choosing vertical integration to manage every detail. “As a vertically integrated agribusiness, the company is able to ensure quality at every step in the supply chain” (Perdue Inc., 2008). It breeds and hatches its own eggs (19 hatcheries), selects its contract growers, builds Perdue-engineered chicken houses, formulates and manufactures its own feed (12 poultry feedmills, 1 specialty feedmill, 2 ingredient blending operations), oversees the care and feeding of the chicks, operates its own processing plants (21 processing and further processing plants), distributes via its own trucking fleet, and markets the production. (Daft, 2010...
