Our world is busy and continues to place demands on our time like never before. We are often juggling responsibilities at work and at home, trying to find time to take care of ourselves and maybe even have fun once in a while. As much as we may complain about being busy, we seem to not be slowing down at all. What is the appeal of being busy and how might it be getting in the way of you living your best life? So often we tend to view being busy as a badge of honor or a way to establish status and a sense of worth. This line of thinking tends to make sense in our society because, for the most part, it is still fairly individualistic and no one wants to feel like they are being left behind. We are wired for connection and want to not only belong but feel important, as if being perceived as important or needed better secures our connections with others. What We Think of Ourselves Living in the world means that we are interacting with others. From an early age, as we are learning about the world and how we fit into it, we begin to look at what others are doing as a point of reference. Psychology Today describes social comparison theory as, ... determining our own social and personal self-worth based on how we stack up against others we perceive as somehow faring better or worse. As we go through various seasons of life we look around and, not only notice what others are doing, but place value and meaning to what we see. We then use this value and meaning to look at ourselves and what were doing to determine where we stand. In our observations of the world around us, we might start to notice patterns of what seems to help people gain things like: StatusConnectionLoveValueAcceptanceAdmirationPowerInfluenceSuccessAccomplishment As we notice these patterns, it is common to naturally incorporate that information into our narrative of who we are, who we want to be, or who we believe we are supposed to be. The values of society start to integrate with our development of values and tend to guide our decision making. If our desire is to feel connected, successful, accepted and influential, then we are going to look and see what seems to work to help people achieve those things. In our society, one of those behavior patterns we are likely to notice could include someone who is always on-the-go, overscheduled, and moving in a variety of directions at once. Naturally, our observations tell us that is what we should be doing as well if we want success, connection, acceptance, and influence. What Others Think of Us As a human being interacting with other human beings, it is fair to say that we are apt to consider what others think of us. Admittedly, we are looking around observing others and placing meaning and value to their behavior and assume others would be doing the same with us, observing our behavior and placing value to what they see us doing or not doing. We learn that how we show up in the world seems to matter. If we have learned through our own social experiences that certain patterns of behavior, such as being extraordinarily busy and constantly on-the-go lead to being successful, connected and accepted by others, then we may find it appealing to engage in those behaviors. Harvard researcher and professor Matthew Lieberman, Ph.D., studies the neuroscience of human connection and suggests that our need to connect is as fundamental as our need for food and water. He states in his book, Social, We intuitively believe social and physical pain are radically different kind of experiences yet the way our brains treat them suggests that they are more similar than we imagine. In other words, when we feel social pain, such as feeling judged or rejected, it matters to our mind, heart and our bodies. We want to avoid that kind of pain, so we do what we can to avoid having to experience it. Being busy can possibly offer us a sense of assurance that we have secured a social place within our community. We see ourselves as plugged in, connected, and valued and assume other people likely see us the same way as we continue to demonstrate our excessively busy behavior. However, the pain of rejection or disconnect that we are trying to avoid may not outweigh the pain we put our minds and bodies through by glorifying busyness and being constantly on-the-go. Busy vs. Productive Many of us have been in situations where we have gone through the day feeling extremely busy and overcommitted in our scheduling and obligations, yet look back on our day not feeling particularly productive. Being busy and being productive can often be confused with one another. However, being productive means more than running around endlessly and feeling over-extended. Merriam-Webster defines the word productive as, Yielding results, benefits or profits. Essentially, it means that we have something to show for our hard work. Being busy has to do with an amount of time, where productivity has more to do with our use of time. How to Tell If You Are Addicted to Work Impact on Emotional Health When we glorify busyness we are likely to overextend ourselves with varied obligations, appointments, commitments, and responsibilities. There are many ways in which this lifestyle can impact our emotional health, such as leaving us to feel: AnxiousStressedOverwhelmedInadequateSadFrustratedAngryLonelyHopelessIncompetentGuilty In our attempts to preserve connection and secure our sense of value by being overly busy, we end up taking on too much and can easily become flooded with negative emotion and even feeling isolated from others. When we are unable to complete tasks or adequately fulfill the many obligations we have dedicated ourselves to, we can feel guilty and ashamed for letting people down or letting ourselves down. The reality is that our expectations were likely unrealistic and the ability to follow through successfully would have been impossible. Over time, the experience of these emotions can leave us feeling as if we will never be enough. People who glorify busyness tend to find self-worth through tasks, performance, and accomplishment. It might be easy to understand how this cycle of taking on too much and not being able to adequately follow through can impact our feelings of self-worth, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. If we fear others might see us as incapable as well, our social self is threatened and the very pain of rejection or judgment that we are trying to avoid can have room to creep in. Impact on Physical Health Shuttling from one appointment to the next and having no time to spare in our schedule causes us to get creative in how we are feeding ourselves, moving our bodies, and resting. In other words, we end up making poor choices in all of these areas because we either dont have time to make careful choices or our emotional reservoir is dry due to exhaustion and our impulsive decision making takes over. Eating drive-through or quick processed foods, skipping exercise, and getting very little sleep are common practices for people who glorify busyness. The risk of not being able to socially keep up or feel valuable is too great and, in turn, our physical health and well-being can become compromised. The ways in which excessive busyness can impact our physical health include things like: Muscle tension/painRestlessnessInsomniaHeadachesInflammationCompromised immune systemFatigueChange in sex driveDigestion issuesCardiovascular disease Impact on Relationships When we are stretched thin for time and already unable to effectively follow through on our multitude of commitments, it is understandable that our relationships would suffer as a result of being excessively busy. As with other things, relationships need time and energy to continue growing. If you are often overscheduled and overcommitted, you likely have neither time nor energy to spend nurturing your relationships with others. Overall, relationships can be fairly flexible. We understand when people are busy and that it can be difficult to schedule time to chat or connect, especially as adults. However, when someone is chronically busy they can appear unapproachable, detached, and uninterested to those around them. As described in many types of couples therapy such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, there are three main components to look for in healthy, connected relationships: Accessibility, Responsiveness, and Engagement. When our relationships are lacking in one of these areas, it is likely we dont feel very connected. Demanding, overextended schedules leave no time for meaningful connection. In our efforts to preserve relationships, we may send a quick text or attempt to make plans. Over time, especially when attempts to get together are disrupted by last minute changes, people can feel devalued and be less willing to compromise and forgive. Patterns of broken connection lead to people feeling distant and uninterested in maintaining connections. Relationships with friends, family, spouses, and even children can be impacted by the glorification of busyness. Benefits to Making Change Creating change in the area of busyness can offer us improved physical health, greater peace and joy, and better, more connected, relationships. Having time for others and ourselves can offer us that sense of safety, value, and connection we were once looking for by being so busy. Some of the benefits can include: Improved sleepDecreased anxiety/depressionHealthy relationshipsImproved physical healthLess overwhelmIncreased optimismOpportunities for self-careDeeper connections with loved ones Steps You Can Take Examine the Source of Your Self-Worth When we are excessively busy and glorify the idea of busyness, it is common to gain our sense of self-worth through tasks, performance, accolades, and recognition from others. Most can agree these things feel good in the moment but, overall, dont seem to fulfill our sense of self-worth in a meaningful and substantial way. The good feelings do not last long before we tell ourselves it isnt enough and we feel pushed to move on to the next task or performance. As we work to make intentional change in how we spend our time, it is helpful to reexamine where our sense of self-worth has been coming from and how well it has worked. Take a moment to evaluate your core values and allow yourself to be honest with what may have a longer-lasting impact on your positive self-worth. An example of this could be recognizing that over-scheduling yourself leaves you feeling exhausted rather than valued. In exploring your core values you may find that spending time with family offers you a more meaningful sense of connection and value, and choose to set aside more time for that during the week or on the weekends. Challenge Your Narrative Our narrative is what we tend to tell ourselves about who we are, our worth, our abilities, and our purpose, among other things. Being excessively busy is usually a result of our desire to feel worthy, valuable, and connected but can end up leaving us feeling isolated, exhausted, and inadequate. As you begin to make changes in scheduling and setting healthier boundaries around your time, you may find the need to challenge an old narrative that says you are not enough if youre doing all things all the time. It can feel unnatural to slow down a bit and cause you to feel vulnerable. Allow yourself the opportunity to challenge your old narrative and update it with a healthier view of self, your worth, and your purpose. Life Plan Strategies for Busy People Set Boundaries People who glorify busyness and are chronically overscheduled tend to have difficulty setting boundaries with others and being assertive. As you learn to say no to excessive projects, tasks, and appointments, you may fear how people respond to you, especially if they are not used to hearing no from you. Remember why you are taking better control over your time and keep the big picture in mind. Managing time and ridding yourself of excessive busyness is likely about connecting with friends and family, taking care of your physical health, and living with more peace and joy. Remind yourself of those things as you determine where to set boundaries. It is not so much about saying no to the person in front of you as it is about saying yes to yourself and the people who mean the most to you.

Critical Review On The Movie Awakenings - 1964 Words

Critical Review Throughout the history of film-making, the most viewed and highest rated films have typically been in the Comedy, Adventure, or Action genres. Because of this, it is not surprising that films in other genres do not receive the same level of advertising, interest, and even viewing as those in these three categories. Nevertheless, these other films are often hold no less meaning to their viewers than the more popular ones. Penny Marshalls’ Awakenings is one such film. Released January 11, 1991, the drama biography grossed $52 million with an original budget of roughly $31 million. Despite the fact that the pg-13 Columbia Pictures Corporation and Parkes/Lasker Productions movie did not gross even double the original budget,†¦show more content†¦L-Dopa was initially formulated to relieve the symptoms of sufferers of Parkinson’s Disease, but Dr. Sayer believed that it would allow his patients to regain movement. After difficulties convincing his skep tical boss, Dr. Kaufman (played by John Heard), Dr. Sayer only received clearance to administer the drug to one patient, provided he could get get permission from a relative. He chose Leonard Lowe (played by Robert De Niro) as his first trial, after gaining consent from his mother, Mrs. Lowe (played by Ruth Nelson). It was discovered that Leonard needed a much higher dosage of the drug to bring them out of their frozen state, but once this dosage was met, they regained nearly all mental and physical faculties with seemingly no side effects. However, as Dr. Sayer was able to initiate the same treatment with his other patients, he began to struggle as side effects presented themselves. The patients had lost nearly forty years of their lives; many had lost loved ones to death, and none had recollections of their time in the mostly catatonic state. This caused a number of the patients to suffer as they returned to normal activities within the hospital walls. Leonard, however, was ecstat ic to regain his life, and did all he could to convince the other patients of this as they recovered. It did not take long however, for side effects to begin appearing within Leonard’s treatment.

Ethical Dilemmas Of A Drug Company s Regional Sales Manager

It can be hard to make a decision, especially when an ethical dilemma is involved. Ethical dilemmas pose a challenge because there is good to be found with both choices. The problem arises when one’s personal ethics are challenged. This paper will discuss an ethical dilemma with which a drug company’s regional sales manager was faced. It will discuss: the case and explain the ethical dilemma; the four functions of management; ethical issues; ethical relativism; four values; case resolutions; and Christian values in relation to the case. The Case Tim has worked for ACME Pharmaceutical for 12 years and is currently a regional sales manager. He has been selling a synthetic hormone that treats multiple medical issues including†¦show more content†¦The Four Functions of Management The company has put a lot of managerial effort into introducing this new drug. Managerial effort is referring to the four functions of management which is made up of: planning, organizing, influencing and controlling (Certo Certo, 2016). The company has spent time planning to introduce a drug that they believe will be an excellent replacement for the old drug. This is because the new drug treats all of the same conditions the old drug treated but without the side effects. They also know that it will expand their customer base because in higher doses it can also be used as an abortion pill. The organizing function can be seen when looking at the way tasks have been assigned (J. Krob, personal communication, September 27, 2016). ACME Pharmaceutical has two parent companies, one in the United States and one in Japan. The Japanese parent company decided they want ACME Pharmaceutical to sell this new drug. Because of Tim’s experience, ACME Pharmaceutical would like him to be the point person to launch the new drug. Tim’s supervisor tried to influence him by telling him that not taking the position could be a career-limited decision. One way the controlling function is used is when the company evaluates finances. By selling this drug, the company’s profits will increase: the drug is more marketable due to its’ multiple uses, ability to be used by different types ofShow MoreRelatedEthical Decision Making and Behavior13474 Words   |  54 Pages7 Ethical Decision Making and Behavior As we practice resolving dilemmas we find ethics to be less a goal than a pathway, less a destination than a trip, less an inoculation than a process. —Ethicist Rushworth Kidder WHAT’S AHEAD This chapter surveys the components of ethical behavior—moral sensitivity, moral judgment, moral motivation, and moral character—and introduces systematic approaches to ethical problem solving.

According to the Fatawa-i-Alamgiri â€Å"maintenance comprehends food, raiment and lodging though in common parlance it is limited to the first. † †¢As per the Hedaya all those things which are necessary to the support of life such as food, clothes and lodging may confine its solely to food.

P. C. B) After Act of 1986 During continuance of marriage i) Arising out of status – Under Muslim Law, the husband is bound to maintain his wife as long as she is faithful to him and obeys his lawful and reasonable orders. The marriage however should be a valid marriage and not which is void or irregular. Also the obligation does not comments if the wife has not attained puberty but commences on the attainment of puberty. In Badruddin v.Aiyasha Begum (1957) All LJ 300, it was held that where a husband marries a second wife or keeps a mistress, the wife may refuse to live with the husband and still claim maintenance. ii) Arising out of Contract – Under Muslim Law, certain ante nuptial and post nuptial agreements entered into between parties to a marriage are valid and enforceable. The husband and wife or their guardians may enter into an agreement whereby a wife is entitled to recover maintenance from her husband on the happening of some specified event such as ill treatment or disagreement or husband’s second marriage etc.ON DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE OPTION TO BE GOVERNED BY CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE If a divorced woman and her former husband declare, by affidavit or any other declaration in writing, either jointly or separately, that they would prefer to be governed by the provisions of Sections 125 to 128 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and file such affidavit or declaration in the Court hearing the application, the Magistrate shall dispose of such application accordingly.The explanation to Section 125 states that â€Å"Wife† includes a woman who has been divorced wife, or has obtained a divorce from, her husband and has not remarried. Under the new section 125 Cr. P. C. the claim of the wife could not be defeated by divorcing her. However, under Section 127 (3) (b) the Magistrate was ordained to cancel his order passed under Section 125 on proof that the divorcee has received from her husband the whole of the sum which under customary of personal law was payable on such divorce. This under Muslim Personal Law was taken to be Mahr.A divorced woman means a Muslim woman who was married according to Muslim law, and has been divorced by, or obtained divorce from her husband in accordance with law. But under Fazlunbi v. Khader Vali, (1980) 4 SCC 125, the Supreme Court reiterated the decision in Bai Tahira case andJustice Krishna Iyersaid : â€Å"The payment of an amount, customary or other†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦must inset the intent of preventing destitution and providing a sum which is more or less the present worth of the monthly maintenance allowance the divorcee may need until death or remarriage†¦.The Court by enacting Section 125 to Section 127 charges the court with human obligation of enforcing maintenance â⠂¬ ¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦ Neither personal law nor other salvationary plea will hold against the policy of public law pervading Section 127 (3) (b)†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦Ã¢â‚¬  Bai Tahira v. Ali Hussain Fissalli Chhothia and another, AIR 1979 SC 362 On a simple reading of the explanation (b) of Sec. 125 (1) of the Code it is clear that every divorced wife, otherwise eligible, is entitled to the benefit of maintenance allowance and the dissolution of marriage makes no difference to the right under the current code.The scheme of the provisions in Chapter IX has a social purpose. Section 125 requires as a sine qua non for its application, neglect by husband or father. Where in a petition by a divorced wife u/s. 125 the husband did not examine himself to prove that he was giving allowances to the divorced wife, his case, on the contrary, was that she has forfeited her claim because of divorce and the earlier consent decree held that the husband had no case of non neglect and hence the basic condition of neglect to maintain was satisfied.RIGHTS A Muslim woman at the time of divorce is entitled to the following: †¢A reasonable and fair provision and maintenance to be made and paid to her within the iddat period by her former husband; †¢Where she herself maintains the childr en born to her before or after her divorce, reasonable and fair provision and maintenance to be made and paid by her former husband for a period of two years from the respective dates of birth of such children; †¢An mount equal to the sum of mahr or dower agreed to be paid to her at her time of her marriage or at any time thereafter according to Muslim law; and †¢All the properties given to her before or at the time of marriage or after the marriage by her relatives or friends or the husband or any relatives of the husband or his friends.

APPLICATION Where A reasonable and fair provision and maintenance or the amount of mahr or dower due has not been made or paid or †¢The properties referred to above have not been delivered to a divorced woman on her divorce, †¢She or any one duly authorised by her may, on her behalf, make an application to a Magistrate for an order for payment of such provision and maintenance, mahr or dower or the delivery of properties, as the case may be.Where an application has been made by a divorced woman and the Magistrate is satisfied that- †¢her husband having sufficient means, has failed or neglected to make or pay her within the iddat period a reasonable and fair provision and maintenance for her and the children; or †¢the amount equal to the sum of mahr or dower has not been paid; or †¢that the properties have not been delivered to herHe may make an order, within one month of the date of the filing of the application, directing her former husband to: †¢Pay s uch reasonable and fair provision and maintenance to the divorced woman as he may determine as fit and proper having regard to the needs of the divorced woman, the standard of life enjoyed by her during her marriage and the means of her former husband or, as the case may be. †¢Make an order for the payment of such mahr or dower or †¢The delivery of such properties as referred to above to the divorced woman FAILURE TO PAY If any person against whom an order has been made fails without sufficient cause to comply with the order, the Magistrate may †¢Issue a warrant for levying the amount of maintenance or mahr or dower due in the manner provided for levying fines under the Code of Criminal Procedure and †¢May sentence such person, for the whole or part of any amount remaining unpaid after the execution of the warrant, to imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or until payment if sooner made, subject to such person being heard in defence and the said se ntence being imposed according to the provisions of the said Code.FAILURE TO MAINTAIN HERSELF AFTER IDDAT PERIOD Where the Magistrate is satisfied that A divorced woman has not re-married and Is not able to maintain herself after the iddat period, †¢He may make an order directing such of her relatives who would be entitled to inherit her property on her death according to Muslim law to pay such reasonable and fair maintenance to her as he may determine fit and proper, having regard to the needs of the divorced woman, the standard of life enjoyed by her during her marriage and the means of such relatives and such maintenance shall be payable by such relatives in the proportions in which they would inherit her property and at such periods as he may specify in his order.WHERE THERE ARE CHILDREN Where such divorced woman has children, the Magistrate shall order only such children to pay maintenance to her, and in the event of any such children being unable to pay such maintenance, the Magistrate shall order the parents of such divorced woman to pay maintenance to her: Bai Tahira v. Ali Hussain Fissalli Chhothia and another, AIR 1979 SC 362 No husband can claim u/s. 27 (3) (b) absolution from his obligation under Section 125 towards a divorced wife except on proof of payment of a sum stipulated by customary of personal law whose quantum is more or less sufficient to do duty for maintenance allowance. The payment of illusory amounts by way of customary or personal law requirement will be considered in the reduction of maintenance rate but cannot annihilate that rate unless it is a reasonable substitute. The purpose of payment under any customary or personal law must be to obviate destitution of the divorcee and to provide her with wherewithal to maintain herself. †¢The whole scheme of Sec. 127 (3) (b) is manifestly to recognise the substitute maintenance arrangement by lump sum payment organised by the custom of the community or the personal law of the parties. †¢There must be a rational relation between the sum so paid and its potential as provision for maintenance to interpret otherwise is to stultify the project. WHERE PARENTS ARE UNABLE TO PAYIf any of the parents is unable to pay his or her share of the maintenance ordered by the Magistrate on the ground of his or her not having the means to pay the same, the Magistrate may, on proof of such inability being furnishe d to him, order that the share of such relatives in the maintenance ordered by him, be paid by such of the other relatives as may appear to the Magistrate to have the means of paying the same in such proportions as the Magistrate may think fit to order. WHERE DIVORCED WOMAN HAS NO RELATIVES †¢Where a divorced woman is unable to maintain erself and she has no relatives as mentioned above or any one of them have not enough means to pay the maintenance ordered by the Magistrate, the Magistrate may, by order direct the State Wakf Board, functioning in the area in which the woman resides, †¢To pay such maintenance as determined by him or, †¢As the case may be, to pay the shares of such of the relatives who are unable to pay, at such periods as be may specify in his order. Maintenance under Muslim Personal Law: †¢Maintenance is also termed as Nafaq in Muslim Law.The word Nafaq means food, daily expenditure and lodging. †¢under Islamic law similar to the Christian law, the wife is entitled to maintenance from the husband. But under the Hindu law and Parsi law either spouse are entitled to maintenance. Under the Islamic law the duty to maintain the wife arises as soon as she reaches puberty. The Islamic law differs in this aspect as compared to other personal laws where maintenance is provided irrespective of the age of the claimant i. e. the factor of puberty is not considered. Under the Islamic law, wife loses the claim of maintenance if she is disobedient and refuses to be accessible at all times. This is not so under the other personal laws. The wife does not lose claim of maintenance by being disobedient. The wife under those personal laws loses their claim by factors such as remarriage and unchastity. The wife is also entitled to maintenance in accordance with the stipulations laid in the kabirnama. This aspect of Muslim law is absent in other personal laws, where there is no provision of maintenance according to any contract. Maintenance under Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986: †¢A divorced Muslim woman is entitled to claim maintenance under Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 (MWA). †¢The Muslim woman can claim for maintenance from her husband only during the iddat period. However, the SC in the landmark case of Daniel Latiffi v. Union of India, interpreted S. 3 (1)(a) of MWA in such a manner that the husband has to make a reasonable and fair provision for maintenance during the iddat period for the future of the divorced wife.After the iddat period if the divorced wife is unable to maintain herself then she has to rely upon her consanguine relatives – children, parents and other relatives who would be entitled to share from her property. †¢This is another aspect in which the Islamic law differs from the other personal laws – under Islamic law the obligation of maintenance is not solely upon the husband, which is the case with the o ther personal laws, but also upon the consanguine relatives. If she has no such relatives or such relatives do not have the means to maintain her and she is also not able to maintain herself, then the court can direct the State Wakf Board to maintain her. The Maintenance of Women Act (MWA) after its enactment disallowed wife to claim maintenance under CrPC. However the wife can claim maintenance under CrPC if both the parties agree to be governed by CrPC, which is unlikely as S. 3 of MWA is in favour of the husband as compared to S. 125 of CrPC. Thus, we can see that the Hindu, Christian and Parsi personal laws are quite similar to each other, whereas Islamic law has many unique features.However, with the effect of Daniel Latiffi case, the substance of the provision of maintenance remains similar i. e. the husband is mainly obliged to pay maintenance to the wife. Despite the muslim women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 the original controversy was resurrected in Arab Ahemadhia Abdulla v. Arab Bail Mohmuna Saiyadbhai, AIR 1988 Guj. 141. The contention in this case was that in terms of Section 3 (1) (a) of the Act, the maintenance allowance was payable within the iddat period, which implied that it was paid only during the iddat and not beyond it.Rejecting this contention the court pointed out that the Act nowhere specified the period for which she was entitled to get maintenance, nor did the Act provide that it was to be for iddat only. Therefore, the word within meant that he was bound to make and pay the provision and maintenance beyond the expiration of iddat. MAINTENANCE TO CHILDREN AND AGED PARENTS †¢The obligation to maintain children is a personal obligation and arises out of blood relationship as well as a moral duty, which is backed up by statutory provisions. Hindu Law †¢There are two personal law statues amongst the Hindus, which create an obligation to maintain children – HAMA and HMA Maintenance of Children: †¢Section 20 of HAMA imposes an obligation upon the parents –mother and father, both equally to maintain the children – both legitimate and illegitimate. This is a unique feature of the Hindu law where both the parents are equally responsible to maintain the children. S. 20 (2) of HAMA lays down that the children are entitled to maintenance during their minority.This right of maintenance for the daughter is extended till she gets married. The parents are obliged to bear her marriage expenses. However even after marriage a minor married daughter, if she is unable to maintain herself then she can claim for maintenance under S. 125 CrPC. When an application has been filed under section s24 and 25 of HMA, the children are also entitled to get maintenance if the claimant has the responsibility of maintaining them i. e. the claimant’s right to maintenance also includes the right of maintenance of the children.Section 26 of HMA also provides that in any proceeding under the Act the court can from time to time pass interim orders and make provisions in respect of the custody, maintenance and education of the minor children. This is a unique feature of Hindu law where the maintenance can be provided to the children not necessarily under a matrimonial proceeding only but otherwise also. Maintenance of parents: †¢S. 20 of HAMA also lays down an obligation of maintenance o f old and infirm parents who are not able to maintain themselves out of their own personal earnings and property.The HAMA is the first statue in India, which imposes an obligation on the children to maintain their parents. The obligation to maintain is not only limited to the sons but it also extends to the daughters. Under HAMA, both the mother and the father have an equal right to claim maintenance. The explanation to this section also includes stepmother in the term parent. However it is important to note that the section imposes an obligation to maintain only those parents, who are unable to maintain themselves and therefore the obligation to maintain the parents other than those infirm and unable, is only moral.Parsi And Christian Laws †¢Maintenance of children: Under the Parsi and the Christian Laws also there are provisions for the custody, maintenance, education etc of the minor children, which are similar to the Hindu law, even though there is no specific provision for maintenance unlike HAMA †¢However, it is important to note that under these personal laws, the maintenance of the minor child can be awarded only during the matrimonial proceeding and not otherwise.Maintenance of parents: Under the Parsi and Christian Laws there is no provision imposing an obligation upon the children to maintain their parents. The parents who want to seek maintenance can do so only under the CrPC. Islamic Laws †¢Maintenance of children: Under the Mu slim personal law, legitimate (minor as well as major) and illegitimate children are entitled to claim maintenance. The obligation of maintenance of legitimate children is primarily on the father. Which is different from the other personal laws which provides for an equal obligation on both the parents) †¢A Muslim father is under an obligation to maintain his sons until they attain the age of puberty and the daughter till she gets married. The Muslim father is not liable to maintain his adult son unless he is disabled by infirmity or disease. However if the father is poor and incapable of earning, then it is the liability of the mother to maintain the children.If both the parents are poor and incapable of earning then grandfather has to provide for the children. Whereas the obligation of maintenance of the illegitimate children is solely on the mother. †¢The quantum of maintenance can be modified or cancelled on the change in circumstances. †¢Maintenance of parents: Under the Muslim Law, similar to the Hindu law, children have an obligation to maintain their parents. According to Mulla, children in easy circumstances should maintain his father and mother even if they may be able to earn something. How to cite Muslim Law, Papers

Part time jobs for students

For most students, there comes a point where they cannot be completely financially reliant on their parents anymore. When that point comes, they need viable part-time options with which they can attempt to pay for your leisurely and shopping expenses. However, be mindful of the fact that all of these part-time career paths require time on your part, which might mean compromising on studies. The only way you can achieve your goal of working without sacrificing your academia is if you hire an assignment help service. These organizations will do all your excess homework for you so you can fulfill your job’s objectives. So here are some suggestions as to some of the paths you can take for earning money. Write If you are particularly passionate about writing, then why not earn money for it? There are plenty of freelance services online with which you can connect with clients looking for your services; the most popular of which is Fiverr. Alternatively, you can opt to be a complete ly independent writer. Depending on your skills, output, and region, you can earn a considerable amount of money by writing. Moreover, this job will be an excellent way of improving your writing skills for academic reasons. Paint While this is not for everyone, those students that have an artistic flair can take advantage of it. Paintings can earn quite a substantial sum on the market, though it is dependent on the artists’ skills and fame. But this is precisely why painting can be so lucrative; the more pieces you make and sell the more famous and popular you get. Your earnings will grow exponentially with each painting. You can also ditch fine arts, and become a graphic artist. There are plenty of customers looking online for graphic artists that can help them develop story-boards, logos, and posters on the aforementioned services like Fiverr. Put your creative talents to good use, and actually earn money off of your artwork. Invest You do not need to be on the stock exchan ge floor to make trades anymore. You can easily trade and invest in stocks, forex and commodities from within the comfort of your home using specialized software. While becoming a small investor is a very lucrative opportunity and has the potential to make you very wealthy very fast, you need to have substantial capital to get started. Small investments would not yield considerable returns. Moreover, you have to be extremely vigilant when you are investing. A single mistake can cause complete financial ruin, so it might not be for everyone. However, if either of these obstacles does not pose a problem for you, then investing in stocks might be a very fruitful venture for you. Serve The most traditional path you can take as a student is to enter the service sector. You can become a waiter, a cook, a cashier, a receptionist, among many other things. This remains the most popular type of work that part-time job-seeking students join; a practice that has been immortalized by pop culture . The primary reason why it is preferred is that it does not require any skills, unlike the other jobs mentioned in this list. You can be completely inexperienced, and the service industry will train you from scratch to become an excellent employee. Another reason is that these jobs usually have flexible shifts, which is perfect for students who do not want them to clash with their classes. The only drawback is that these jobs are normally very physically exertive, and leave you completely worn out. These are the four choices you have. Whatever you pick, you will have to accompany it with an academic help service so that they can do your projects while you work.

Unit 4 Essays Unit 4 Essay Unit 4 Essay Unit 4 Name: Course: Institution: Instructor: Date: Unit 4 Explain who (in what roles) within the organization would participate inleadership and membership positions for this team. Leadership and membership positions in a business require the participation of all responsible parties. Organizations are constantly developing measures to deal with arising issues to avoid losses. Teamwork is the most important aspect in safeguarding the vulnerability of corporate internet business. In Mega-Corp, the management is the most important team as it is responsible for establishing incident response policies and organizing the budget and members of staff. The information security team identifies analyses and helps to contain incidences. There are incidents such as illegal admission to telephone lines that require the expertise of the telecommunications team. When the information system is attacked, it is the responsibility of the IT support team to disconnect it from the network. The legal department ensures all plans and policies comply with the laws and federal guidance. This department handles all lawsuits, collects evidence and is involved in suspect-prosecution incidents. Members of Public Affairs and Media Relations department are responsible for informing the media and sometimes the public in case of incidents that require public knowledge. Disciplining employees who are found guilty of causing incidents is handled the human resources department. The business continuity planning professionals are made aware of the incidents in the company and their role is to develop measure in risk assessment and planning responses in certain types of incidents. The incident response team works closely with the physical security and facilities management during incident handling and solving. Describe how this team will interface with the forensics partner Forensic partners are there to make sure that the forensic specialists have all that they need to carry out their work. They are particularly common in this type business. Computer technology Investment network who work hand in hand with other departments in Mega-Corp. These partnerships are there to foster smooth investigations in the laboratory. These partnerships have also opened opportunities for students to get internships in these firms. They thus act as a link between the two. The forensic partners also help in getting a means in which current employees are trained so that they can keep abreast with what is trending in the industry. There is a hierarchy in the business structure, which helps to increase how rapidly the response is to forensic investigation. This is all made possible by the presence of a strong communication network within the company. From top management to lower level employees in Mega-Corp the line of authority is clearly defined and flows seamlessly from one person to another. There is also the inclusion of cyber lawyers that deal with any ambiguity as compared to other law firms. As forensic specialists cannot know everything, the DLA law firm helps them understand computer investigations that are within the confines of the law. These partners are licensed to practice anywhere in the United States. In the event that a case goes to court, they advise the forensic firm parties as appropriately. They also provide them with legal counsel during the trial (Kruse Heiser, 2001). Explain how the organization will establish relationships with local law enforcement and regulatory agencies prior to an incident Mega-Corp has collaborated with other law enforcement agencies so that it can get work for it to do. Organizations such as High Technology Crime Investigation Association (HTCIA), International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) and InfraGard all give the firm an opportunity to interact and network at local and international levels. In addition to that, they have ties with government departments such as Department Homeland Security. These firms have created applications and programs that make sharing of information easy and fast. These programs include US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-Cert) and the Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Program that share information with the private sector, including security vendors, academia, and other federal agencies. Through these products, we can report on any potential threats that they feel the country might face (Department of Homeland Security, 2012). Businesses, law enforcement agencies, academic institutions and other law-abiding citizens felt that they needed an institution, which would address security threats. InfraGard was thus born. This organization addresses any potential threats and the institutions could report any of the threats to it. Mega-Corp’s offices should develop a link between the law enforcement agencies and itself. This will ensure that the lines of communication are clear and that whenever there is an issue it can be easily sorted out. This clear line of communication is a boost when it comes to sorting out any issues. The response time is reduced at a high rate, as there is a great working relationship between Mega-Corp and the institutions. Thus, it is mandatory that both teams be educated on the importance of maintaining a good working relationship. This relationship will remain the same as new generations are brought in to work in the institutions and Mega-Corp. Provide support for your selection of team members and leaders For communication to be fostered in a better way, there needs to be a liaison between the Corporate Incidence Response Team and management at Mega-Corp. The Human Resource Director will act as their go between, it is their responsibility to make sure that the policies and procedures are revised often. This will give adequate support to future investigations. The Human resource department will be tasked with providing any assistance that will be needed in the course of any investigation that needs to be carried out. It is also essential that HR be given the necessary backing to help them carry out their job. Therefore, it is important that a partnership is created so that HR has an easier time when creating, educating and implementing these policies in conjunction with the employees of the firm. Departments such as Information Security board of Review (ISBR) are tasked with role of giving oversight and direction with anything that pertains to Information systems security and making sure there is privacy in conjunction with Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Information Systems Security Officer. The Information Systems Security Officer is appointed by the CIO and ISBR and is tasked with the job of ensuring that the Office of Information of Mega-Corp and ISSO have the appropriate Network Security Manager (NSM). In turn, the NSM is responsible for ensuring that the Network Security Officer (NSO) and Information Security Officer (ISO) are appointed at each work station and that they are doing their work without any hiccups. Both ISSO and NSM should have vast experience in cases involving OS. Therefore, when picking the individuals to head these posts considerable care should be taken so that the best candidate is chosen. The individual needs to be an expert in background networ k monitoring, detection, and intrusion. How the execution of the operating system controls and digital protection architecture of the networks via the NSM and review Mega-Corp information security is done by the ISSO. This ensures that information is protected from any unauthorized access. This is made possible as the NSO and ISO will work hand in hand to supervise compliance, procedures, policies and ensuring security integrity of Mega-Corp systems. These departments will work together with the SIRT and HR Department to revise, expand, and implement corporate policies pertaining to security, technology and acceptable usage. There are certain activities that could be characterized as violations of a security policy. They are as follows: Notifications from an intrusion detection tool Suspicious entries in the system or network logs Log discrepancies, such as gaps in the logs or missing log files Unsuccessful log-on attempts Unauthorized new user accounts, or unauthorized root or admin access Strange new files or unfamiliar file names Modifications to system executable file lengths and/or date and time stamps Unrecognized behavior of writing to system files, or changes in system files Unexplained modification or deletion of data Inability of one or more users to login to an account (Denial of service) Sudden unexplained system crashes Noticeable reductions in system performance Unauthorized attempts to capture or analyze network traffic Any threats that are detected in the server Taking note of any anomalies that may take place in the organizations Proper care and diligence needs to be taken when any of these incidences take place in a firm. There should be immediate investigations to know what the cause was from members of SIRT. In addition to that, the departments from Mega-Corp together with DLA Piper should lend a hand in the Subject Matter Expert (SME). The SME is able to bring about difficult technical information by employing the use of terms and concepts that the final user can easily grasp no matter what level they belong to in an organization. This ensures that, in Mega-Corp, there will be content accuracy of corporate policies. Include a communication strategy that will ensure members of this team have all of the information they need to be successful, if called upon to respond to an incident Reporting Procedures When there has been any security threat, detected employees should inform their NSO. It is therefore mandatory that they know the NSO. If the NSO cannot be reached then the NSM should be reached and if he or she is not available then the ISSO and if all else fails contact the office of the ISBR. The CIO can also be notified by the ISBR and all this should be done in a timely fashion so that the effects of the threat are minimized. If the CIO feels that, the breach was too serious then he or she should report to the CHFI for appropriate response options. If it is suspected that criminal activity is involved then proper legal counsel should be sought. Incident priorities Incase of the following ever happens they should be given top priority: Possible life-threatening activity Attacks on the Internet infrastructure Root name servers Domain name servers Major archive sites Network access points (NAPs) Widespread automated attacks against Internet sites Network/packet sniffers Router attacks Root compromises The procedure of handling such incidences is through; Reports, Training scenarios and Documents that can be handed off to law enforcement, when necessary. It is the duty of employees never to disclose any information about incidents, which happen in an organization to anyone apart from those in the chain of reporting (MTU, 2011). After reporting an incident to the right authorities, there has to be thorough investigations into the matter to come up with possible solutions. Timely reporting allows all members of the incident response team to play their roles effectively. Detection, reporting and analysis of an incident guarantee that the incident is contained. Containment includes decision making however, they depend on the type of incident. Incidents can be communicated through various ways including email, phone conversations and notice boards. Communication can also be done in person. Nevertheless, only those within the incident response team should have access to the information about potential and existing incidents. Depending on the type of incident, the response team should develop appropriate measure to counteract further incidents within the organization. The information technology team should be trained on ways to maintain the operations of the system. Every member of the response team needs to be provided with the right resources to recognize report and analyze the incidents in the organization. After discovering what caused the incident, the response team should take effective measures to ensure that it does not happen again and come up with supplementary resources that would be needed to identify report, evaluate and mitigate future incidents.

10 Pros and Cons Arguments For Abstinence

10 Pros and Cons Arguments For Abstinence Approaches to teenage pregnancy prevention split down the middle between two schools of thought: abstinence (waiting until marriage to have sex)sex education (including contraceptive information and HIV prevention) Both sides argue that their approach is effective, especially in light of the continuing decline in teen pregnancy rates and teen birth rates. Whether thats true or not, one fact is clear: the rates in recent years have hit record lows. So is this due to the push in abstinence-only education programs, or in broader and more comprehensive sex education programs that provide teens with information about contraception and HIV prevention? To consider the role of abstinence or sex education in teenage pregnancy prevention, it helps to consider both sides of the argument. Below are links to both sides of the issue 10 arguments for abstinence as the best form of pregnancy prevention for teens and 10 arguments against abstinence a total of 20 arguments representing each perspective on the abstinence/sex education debate. Ten Arguments For Abstinence Abstinence from sex is the only form of pregnancy prevention that is 100% effective. Every method of contraception has a risk of failure, however, small, but a teen who practices abstinence will never become pregnant.Teens who abstain from sexual activity also avoid the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).Teens who practice abstinence are much less likely to experience a physically or emotionally abusive relationship, drop out of high school, engage in substance abuse, or feel pressured into having sex all risk factors for teens who explore and become sexually active at an early age.A teen who practices abstinence and is in a romantic relationship is secure in the knowledge that her/his partner is not interested in them purely for sex a concern of many teens.Some studies indicate that couples enjoy greater relationship satisfaction when they delay having sex until they are seriously dating, engaged or married.Teens are at a stage in life in which theyre already emotionally vulnerable. Getting involved in a sexual relationship increases that vulnerability and the chances of being hurt or used by a partner. By abstaining from sex, its a lot easier to figure out if a relationship or a person is good for you. Studies have revealed a connection between low self-esteem and early sexual activity. A teen who deliberately chooses to wait to have sexual intercourse is less likely to look to a relationship for validation and may be more self-reliant.Some teens use sex as a way to achieve intimacy and closeness with someone, but this is an artificial way of doing so. Teens who practice abstinence build relationships with partners based on mutual likes and dislikes, common approaches to life, and shared interests and develop a more authentic relationship that can better stand the test of time.Abstinence may help students do better in school. According to the American Journal of Health studies, students in abstinence-only education programs demonstrate better GPAs and improved verbal and numerical aptitude skills.... stronger peer relations, positive youth development, and...[greater] aware[ness] of the consequences of risky behavior, such as teen pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases.Abstinen ce costs nothing and there are no side effects as there are with oral contraceptives and many other forms of pregnancy prevention.
