Analyzing the Effects of Educational Structure of Vietnam on the Greate

Analyzing the Effects of Educational Structures and Opportunities of Vietnam on the Greater Society Abstract: Education attainment is the highest level of formal education a person achieves within a given society. With education there are more opportunities, including a better standard of living. Vietnam is a developing country that sees the benefits of higher education, but due to structural problems, students and administration are dealt with many pressures to overcome. This paper uses structural theories of Weber and Parsons to analyze the current situations in Vietnam. By using public publications and personal interviews, inferences are made about the future development of the country. ANALYZING THE EFFECTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL STRUCTURE OF VIETNAM ON THE GREATER SOCIETY â€Å"Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.† - Thà ­ch Nhá º ¥t Há º ¡nh, This quote spoken by Thà ­ch Nhá º ¥t Há º ¡nh, a religious scholar, Buddhist monk and activist from Vietnam represents the aspiration to have a better life that all people seek. This message, while short, concisely represents the attitudes of many individuals coming from impoverished or developing countries. Generally from a sociological perspective, aspiration profoundly influences people to achieve. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a Southeast Asian nation on the brinks of social development within both public and private sectors. The country which is noted for its single party communist agenda with French civil statute influences, it has re-opened western diplomacy in the last two decades since the Vietnam War. The summer of 2010 marked Vietnam’s 15th ann... ...the abilities for individuals to make decisions accordingly. In particular, family units may influence big decisions, such as what university or college to enter and what a child should choose as a major. Of course, various family units may have varying demands on members, depending on living conditions. This topic will be further discussed later in this paper. In society, there is what sociologists call life chances. Max Weber developed this term and it refers to the opportunities available for a given person within a society (Anderson and Howard 2009). As indicated in our introduction, this often reflects particular stratification of an individual. This also correlates with how individuals interact within society as an institution. Perhaps, life chances could be grouped with the adaptation function with student’s using the resources that are presented to them.

Documentation(Cebu-Bohol Tour)

TOUR CEBU-BOHOL TRIP A few months ago, on September 25 to 30, 2010, we, the students of the STI College of Cotabato, had an educational tour of Cebu and Bohol, both of which are major tourist spots of the country. The given activity was prepared and realized with the purpose of exposing us to two of the most visited places in the Philippines—to let us experience and see for ourselves the feel of the dynamic tourism there and to know about the current trends regarding the field of hotel and restaurant management which, as we know, consists of work that entails lodging and food service, and plays an essential role in the tourism industry. The trip is considered to be a significant part of our training as aspiring hotel and restaurant managers, owners and/or workforce in the future. The school believed that for us to be effective and efficient members of the hotel industry, we should first be involved in excursions like that in order for us to grasp fully the reality of our chosen future careers and get a clear view of its know-how as well as to learn and obtain new ideas which we could apply in the long run. Being a major tourist destination that they are, Cebu and Bohol’s hotels and restaurants are without a doubt in demand. The school did not overlook that and made a great decision of choosing the two for it is, nonetheless, one of the best places of exposure. Over the years, with the advancement of technology, new developments are also inevitable and have surface especially in the competitive world of hotel industry which has truly evolved a lot. For that reason, we are truly glad that through the activity that we had, we were able to learn something innovative which we could not do so the other way around and just by being inside the four walls of our classrooms. We did not only visited the places just for the sake of seeing its physical beauty and take pictures of it like most tourists do but we went there with the very intention of learning especially from the seminars that we attended. The trip that started on the 25th of September 2010 was wisely spent and was efficiently arranged to really fit all the many places that we were able to visit. On the second day, we arrived at Bohol by 6:00am and checked-in at the Bohol Plaza Mountain Resort. It was a 4-star resort built on a mountain or more appropriately, a hill, hence the name, which has a spectacular view of the mainland of Bohol and faces the city of Tagbilaran. We also went to see the mysterious Chocolate Hills and were truly awed by the beauty it possessed. When noon came, we lunched at the famous restaurant on a boat known as The Floating Restaurant via the Loboc River Cruise and were greeted by a sumptuous and delicious meal. After which, we had the Tarsier encounter at the Corella and Tarsier Visitors Center and saw the extinction-threatened smallest primate on Earth, the Tarsier. And then we got to the blood compact site, the place where the sanduguan between the Spaniards and our ancestors during the 1500s transpired and were briefly informed about the rich history of Bohol. In line with that, we were made to see some of the ancestral houses in the place that were preserved and stood the test of time. It now operates as a tourist end including the great churches that were also built ages ago, particularly the Baclayon Church which is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. In addition to that, we had a stopover at the other resorts in Bohol and at the Bee Farm which provided us a rare experience of organic delights. Moreover, we were able to see the splendor of Cebu while on tour, including its magnificent ancestral houses and the churches of the Basilica de Sto. Nino and Cathedral Church that significantly mirrored the rich culture and history of the place. In 1521, the Spanish conqueror Ferdinand Magellan arrived there and in that same year, planted a big wooden cross at the place where the first Filipinos were baptized as Christians. Currently, this place is a big tourist attraction and is called as the Magellan’s Cross. Consequent to that, we set out to see Cebu’s Beverly Hills Subdivision where people could find the affluent gated communities of the place and the idyllic Chinese Taoist Temple that is the center of worship for Taoism open to worshipers and non-worshipers alike. After lunch, we continue to explore Cebu at its best and saw the oldest street there known as the Colon Street. We likewise went to the University of San Jose-Recoletos, a Catholic private university that is considered to be one of the excellent schools in the land and had a tour of the area. For our next destination, we went to the Mactan Shrine where the statue of our first hero, Lapu-Lapu, could be found and had a souvenir shopping. Cebu, like the other well-developed cities in Manila, is a metropolitan area and branded as the center of business and trade in the Visayas. It is identified for its many skyscrapers that has been scattered all over the place which includes our next stop, to one of Cebu’s finest commercial sites, the Ayala Center. However, though we really had fun, we were also exhausted from the day’s activity and, as explorers of the place, I think it is important that we have a comfortable place to spend the night and regain our strength for yet another busy day. The Crown Regency Hotel did not disappoint us on that and gave us what we all need after a long day around town. While there, we were able to get what I think all tourists deserve—that ‘home-away-from-home comfort’ through the superb hotel accommodation and service that they have. We spent our fourth day a little bit different from the past three days. Instead of touring the other landmark of Cebu and Bohol, we attended a seminar on bed-making, flaring and other things involving hotel and restaurant accommodations at the Crown Regency Hotel. Lessons on the hotel’s activity were given to us and before lunchtime, we were escorted up to take a look at their rooms that displayed different themes—depending on the preferences of their customers—and onto the hotel’s roof deck. Afterwards, we went into a beachfront hotel and resort, the Imperial Palace, and had one more seminar regarding the hotel’s services, the silverwares and utensils they are using and so on. When the seminar ended, we proceeded to go to SM Cebu. Along the way, we were able to pass by an outstanding and splendid hotel, considered to be among the top hotels in Asia—the Plantation Bay—which showcased a variety of fruit plantations along its entrance. Sadly, we were not able to take a look inside. All in all, it was a fun-filled learning experience, with all of us getting along and contributing to the success of the activity. The tour really left a great impact to most of us and, indeed, it was worth all the long time of preparation, expenses and fatigue. †¦Till then.

The Gender Pay Gap What It Is and Why It Matters

In April  2014, the Paycheck Fairness Act was voted down in the Senate by Republicans. The bill, first approved by the House of Representatives in 2009, is considered by proponents to be an extension of the 1963 Equal Pay Act  and is meant to address the gap in pay between women and men that has persisted despite the 1963 legislation. The Paycheck Fairness Act would allow for the punishment of employers who retaliate against workers for sharing information about pay, puts the burden of justifying gendered wage discrepancies on employers, and gives workers the right to sue for damages if they suffer discrimination. In a memo released on April 5, 2014, the Republican National Committee argued that it opposes the bill because it is already illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender  and because it duplicates the  Equal Pay Act. The memo also stated that the national pay gap between men and women is merely the result of women working in lower-paying fields:  Ã¢â‚¬Å"The difference isn’t because of their genders; it’s because of their jobs.† This spurious claim flies in the face of a litany of published empirical research that demonstrates that the gender pay gap is real  and that it exists within—not simply across—occupational categories. According to the NYTimes, federal data shows that it is greatest among the highest paying sectors. The Gender Pay Gap Defined What exactly is the gender pay gap? Simply put, it’s the hard reality that women, within the United States and around the world, earn only a portion of what men earn for doing the same jobs. The gap exists as a universal between the genders, and it exists within the vast majority of occupations. The gender pay gap can be measured in three key ways: by hourly earnings, weekly earnings, and annual income. In all cases, researchers compare median earnings for women versus men. The most recent data, compiled by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and published in a report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), show a 23 cent pay gap in weekly earnings for full-time workers on the basis of gender. That means that, overall,  women make just 77 cents to the man’s dollar. Women of color, with the exception of Asian Americans, fare far worse than white women in this regard, as the gender pay gap is exacerbated by racism, past and present. The Pew Research Center reported in 2013 that the hourly earnings pay gap, 16 cents, is smaller than the weekly earnings gap. According to Pew, this calculation vanishes the portion of the gap that exists due to gender disparity in hours worked, which is produced by the fact that women are more likely to work part-time than are men. Using federal data from 2007, Dr. Mariko Lin Chang documented a gendered annual income gap that ranged from zero for never-married women and men, to 13 percent for divorced women, 27 percent for widowed women, and 28 percent for married women. Importantly, Dr. Chang  emphasized that the absence of a gendered income gap for never married women masks a gendered wealth gap  that crosses all income categories. This collection of rigorous and undisputed social science demonstrates that a gender gap exists when measured by hourly wages, weekly earnings, annual income, and wealth. This is very bad news for women and those who depend on them. Debunking the Debunkers Those seeking to â€Å"debunk† the gender pay gap suggest that it is a result of differing levels of education, or of life choices  one might make. However, according to the American Association of University Women, the fact that a 7% weekly earnings gap exists between women and men just one year out of college demonstrates that it cannot be blamed on the â€Å"life choices† of being pregnant, birthing a child, or reducing work in order to care for children or other family members. As far as education, per the AAUW report,  the maddening truth is that the pay gap between men and women actually widens as educational attainment increases. For women, a Masters or professional degree is simply not worth as much as a man’s. The Sociology of the Gender Pay Gap Why do gendered gaps in pay and wealth exist? Simply put, they are the product of historically rooted gender biases that still thrive today. Though many Americans would claim otherwise, these data clearly show that the vast majority of us, regardless of gender, view men’s labor as more valuable than women’s. This  often unconscious or subconscious assessment of labor value is influenced strongly by biased perceptions of individual  qualities thought to be determined by gender. These often break down as gendered binaries that directly favor men, like the idea that men are strong and women are weak, that men are rational while women are emotional, or that men are leaders and women are followers. These sorts of gender biases even appear in how people describe inanimate objects, depending on whether they are classified as masculine or feminine in their native language. Studies that examine gender discrimination in the  evaluation of student performance and in hiring, professor interest in mentoring students, even in the wording of job listings, have demonstrated a clear gender bias that unjustly favors men. Certainly, legislation like the Paycheck Fairness Act would  help make visible, and thus challenge, the gender pay gap by providing legal channels for addressing this form of everyday discrimination. But if we really want to eliminate it, we as a society have to do the collective work of unlearning the gender biases  that live deep within each of us.  We can begin this work in our everyday lives by challenging assumptions based on gender made both by ourselves and those around us. Recent Attempts at Passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act In March 2019, the Democrat-dominated House of Representatives passed the H.R.7 - Paycheck Fairness Act, a new attempt at the legislation that was first introduced in 1997. The bill was then sent to the Republican-dominated Senate, where it faces an uphill battle.

Perpetrators Victims Bystanders The Jewish Catastrophe

Perpetrators Victims Bystanders The Jewish Catastrophe 1933-1945 is written by Raul Hilberg. Hilberg earned a bachelor’s degree from Brooklyn College and his Ph.D. from Columbia University. Hilberg also was a professor at the University of Vermont in Burlington. He is well known for actually establishing Holocaust studies. Raul Hilberg was an Austrian born citizen who came to America in 1939. He did this when he wrote and published his book Destruction of the European Jews which was met with controversy. This however is just one of many accomplishments that he had in his life. When he came to America, he got drafted and fought in World War II which gave him a firsthand account of the horrific war. During his service, he was†¦show more content†¦Hitler hatred towards the Jews truly began when he came to Vienna. While in Vienna, Hitler read various publications that molded his ideals in regards to the Jews and later policy making when he becomes chancellor. I would like to point out that the author should of took the time to include specific examples of the materials that Hitler read; although, it is fine since we discuss and learned about it in class. Hitler’s first recorded comment against the Jews occurred while in the military. A soldier asked why did Germany lose the war and a commander requested Hitler to reply to the question (Hilberg 5). Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany’s defeat . Hilberg dedicated his life to researching the Holocaust. This is evident because the book contains a large amount of sources establishing who the perpetrators, victims, and bystanders were. In fact, at the end of the book, there are 63 pages of notes dedicated to citing his sources. Due to the large amount of information, he also dedicated seven index pages listing people, groups, and places. The design for the book is actually quite unique as well. Hilberg broke his book in three different modules which could be read in any orde r. This is abnormal when it comes to history. The author dedicates each section from the perspective of the people involved. Hilberg’s

The, Bury The Dead, By Judith Butler - 3660 Words

â€Å"First thing strikes anybody,† Leopold Bloom reflects while attending a funeral in James Joyce’s Ulysses, â€Å"Bury the dead† (223). In many ways, Bloom’s mental reflection emphasizes the transhistorical and global pervasiveness of ritual corpse disposal as forming origins for human collectivities: namely, that to be human is to respond to the dead, and further, that to belong to a specific human group is to follow specific conventions of responding to the dead. Or, as Robert Harrison asserts, â€Å"Humanity is not a species[;] it is a way of being mortal and relating to the dead. To be human means above all to bury† (xi). If mortal engagement is our primary humanizing fact, as well as a way of organizing human communities through what is or is not†¦show more content†¦Just as responding to the dead upholds and actualizes our very humanity, so too does responding to the precarious lives of others, and both ethical responses trigger g lobal political implications. William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying navigates the ethics and politics of deathways by exploring the functional role of corpse disposal in constructing and deconstructing forms of community during an age of intense modernization. Inhabiting the periphery of a modern economic system as poor white subsistence farmers, but feeling forcefully the pull of the engulfing currents of modernity, the Bundren family undertakes a ten-day journey marred by fire and flood to bury their matriarch in Jefferson. Defining life and death as being co-imbricated, Faulkner parallels the ethics toward the dead and the ethics toward the precarious by showing how members of Yoknapatawpha engage in various modes of assistance or disavowal of the Bundren clan, coloring an ethical and political spectrum of responses to the dead and to the spectralized living. As the rotting corpse of Addie Bundren arrives in the center of the metropolis, forcing modernity to acknowledge the Bundrens as modern subjects-in-be coming, Faulkner, as I argue, grotesquely illustrates complexities of community during global modernization and urban migration and

Analysis Of Factors Influence Travellers - Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss about the Analysis Of Factors Influence Travellers. Answer: Introduction Hospitality is an ancient concept and it is associated with the gracious and munificent greeting of guests at home or any other place. The connotation of hospitality however, has modified with time, if not changed. In addition, its application has also expanded and it is no longer limited within the confinement of home. In fact, a simple gesture of warmth and graciousness has now transformed into a multibillion-dollar industry. The essay discusses commercial hospitality on details and tries to justify the statement that it is merely an extension of hospitality at home. The essay follows a chronological order beginning with a detailed definition of hospitality. It is then followed by an overview of hospitality at home. This hospitality extended to give birth to commercial hospitality that people witness in various sectors, accommodation in particular. The essay focuses primarily on the hospitality business concerning accommodation and customer preferences when it comes to this aspect. Defining hospitality Hospitality as defined earlier is the simple gesture of welcoming and treating guests in a gracious manner. Kirillova, Gilmetdinova and Lehto (2014) have provided a different perspective of hospitality. According to them, hospitality is interpreted as per the beliefs upheld in ones own community. They state that hospitality depends on the ideals and beliefs propagated by a certain community or religion. A gesture of kindness for one might be an insulting gesture for the other. Nonetheless, the basic criteria remain the same across all communities and religions- satisfying the guests. This age-old tradition has given rise to an industry that is ever growing. The hospitality industry provides broad range of services to the customers and focuses solely on their satisfaction. The hospitality industry is primarily categorized into three broad areas that are accommodations comprising hotels and other similar businesses, food and beverage comprising restaurants, clubs and such businesses and travel and tourism including trains, cruise ships airlines. (Kandampully et al. 2014) is of the view that the services that encompass the hospitality industry although not a necessity but do comprise an important part of peoples lives. The author further augments the view by pointing out the exceptional rise of demand in this industry. This can also be identified from the evidence that an entire subject of study has been dedicated to this industry. Hospitality management is pursued by millions of people around the globe that proves the growing demand of the industry. Hospitality in the home The very concept of hospitality as already mentioned, began from home and does even today. People always try to welcome their guests, either relatives or friends or any acquaintance with warmth and in a generous manner. Likewise, those who visit others homes expect to be treated nicely. Being warm, generous and well behaved to guests involves asking them for food or drinks, enquiring whether they had any trouble reaching and so on. Every person visiting expects these common gestures from the host and vice versa. The main and common goal, thus for the people providing hospitality is the visitors satisfaction. When people visit any relatives or friends home, the first thought that comes to their mind is the similarity the home has to their own. They try to feel the vibe they get at their own homes. To a host, it is an achievement when visitors get the similar feeling as their own home (Kwok and Yu 2013). It is however, crucial to state that welcoming guests with warm gestures and offering them beverages and foods do not entirely count as being hospitable. Hospitality involves both tangible and intangible gestures. Making someone comfortable and allowing them, the space to open up and share their experiences is as important as offering tangible things. These little things learnt at home led to the beginning of commercial hospitality. Commercial hospitality- an extension of hospitality in the home Kowalski (2013) argues that commercial hospitality has its origins in the earliest eras of human life and thus it is one of the oldest businesses in the world. Commercial hospitality involves any business that is concerned with providing accommodation or selling food and beverages in exchange of money. Commercial hospitality is something that people chooses as an option to spend money and leisure time. Therefore, it is something that is not a necessity for people but a luxury. Those associated with the commercial hospitality industry are well aware of this fact and they try their best to attract and satisfy customers. When people decide to go on a tour to some places alien to their home, they mostly expect to have as comfortable journey and stay as possible. By home, it does not mean only the apartment or building people live in, it may also mean their country or their locality. Home generally refers to the place where people feel comfortable and satiated. Thus, while planning to tour or visit some other place, people look for the same comfort, treatment and satisfaction they get in their home. Various factors play a role in the decision that includes the place, the climate, the language and the culture of the chosen for spending time (Filieri and McLeay 2014). In addition, people look forward to be acquainted with the culture, tradition, and cuisine of other places while being in the comfort of the chosen accommodation. They desire authenticity as well as safety while choosing an accommodation. Modern trends in hospitality demonstrate a visible transformation from the conventional ways. The supreme leaders of commercial hospitality providing luxury accommodations to tourists are facing a threat from the emerging trend. This emerging trend is the sharing economy provided mostly online (Wosskow 2014). Airbnb is the company that revolutionized the hospitality industry in the contemporary world. It took the commercial hospitality industry comprising hotels, motels and other similar businesses by storm. The online platform offers innumerable options for travelers and tourists from accommodation to restaurants and many more (Airbnb.co.in 2018). The uniqueness of Airbnb is that the hosts too can earn by giving their homes, apartments, castles or any space as short-term accommodation to tourists. Zervas, Proserpio and Byers (2014) assess the rise of this sharing economy by pointing out the economic impact it had on the traditional hospitality businesses. They put forth the case of Airbnb and its impact on low-priced hotels based mostly in Texas, United States. Other platforms like Airbnb also emerged during the last decade that further expanded the hospitality industry. Some of these firms include HomeAway, Tripping.com, Flipkey, VRBO and many more. An analysis of this sharing economy trend reveals the fact that commercial hospitality is indeed an extension of hospitality found at home. Mentioned in the above section, these sharing economies provide opportunities for people to stay as guests in anyones home and have a homely experience. In addition to that, the hosts can also earn by welcoming guests in their place and being hospitable. According to Ikkala and Lampinen (2015), the hosts or users who rent out their homes for tourists or guests are aggravated to monetize network hospitality not just for financial reasons but also for social experience. Big brands in order to cope with this emerging form of commercial accommodation are devising new ways to lure tourists. These brands have been shaken from their position by these commercial accommodations that have also given rise to rivalry. Hotels have laid allegations on these sites that they have taken away their customers and caused damage to their business (Liu and Mattila 2017). It is but true that these allegations would not help the traditional providers. They need to understand the pulse of the new generation customers and utilize the digital platform. They must not lose their authenticity however, in an attempt to outperform the contemporary accommodation providers. Instead, they can bring forth the drawbacks of sharing economy and the strengths of traditional accommodation. In addition, they can perform a thorough analysis of the strategies employed by the sharing economy like shared values, commitments, and trust to build their own strategy (Cusumano 2015). Although a no vel concept, peer-to-peer sharing can be challenged by the traditional accommodation providers by sticking to their roots and making the best of social media. Direct interaction with the customers increases the chances of attracting them by many folds (Mody, Suess and Lehto 2017). Conclusion Commercial hospitality has always been inspired from the hospitality received in the home, either of ones own or others. Being of the oldest services in the world, hospitality industry has given people the opportunity to feel at home away from home. However, certain limitations are also faced by people that include monetary capacity, availability of time, acquaintance with strange environment, language and so on. Traditional commercial accommodations succeeded in providing luxurious experiences to the people but the homely feeling was still what people looked for. The emergence of sharing economy completely changed the hospitality perspective. People now got the perfect choice of accommodation- a home away from home. In addition, they also got the opportunity to have a meaningful experience by getting to know their hosts. This justified completely, the statement that commercial hospitality is just an expansion of hospitality in the home. The report followed a logical structure to jus tify the statement and included views of different scholars. References: Airbnb.co.in 2018.About Us - Airbnb. [online] Airbnb.co.in.
