Compare and Contrast Roles Supporting Organisational Structures and Functional Areas in Organisations
Compare and Contrast Roles Supporting Organisational Structures and Functional Areas in Organisations Each business has it's own structure. It could be a hierarchical structure, a matrix structure or a flat structure. Because of these structures it helps make a business efficient in each of the functional areas that it has. Each level of the structure has a level of responsibility. Hierarchical structures are usually used by big businesses that have lots of different areas. This is why this structure is referred to as the pyramid structure. The most important and the most paid are at the top and the less important and the least paid are at the bottom. The people at the top of this structure are the ones that make the decisions and the ones at the bottom follow them. The higher up the structure the more responsibility they will have. The matrix structure is used for projects within the business. No one has more authority than the other and they all have to report to each other. This structure is made to be a structure for temporary use only. A flat structure is usually used by a sole trader who has unlimited liability. If a business is fairly small then a flat structure is the best to use and will be the most useful. The owner is the person who makes all of the decisions in a flat structure. The staff then follows what the owner says. Hierarchical Structure Matrix
What similarities and difference have you noticed in 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' by Keats and 'Mariana'
What similarities and difference have you noticed in 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' by Keats and 'Mariana' The two poems 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' and 'Mariana' have very similar genres. They are both based on a Romantic theme. They are both about unrequited love. In 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' it is about a knight who falls in love with a woman and he thinks she loves him as well until she puts a spell on him and he realises it is all a trick and she doesn't care for him at all. It was written in 1819. In 'Mariana' it's about a woman (Mariana) and how she was engaged to Angelo who jilted her when the ship carrying her dowry was lost at sea. Now, still pining for Angelo, she lives in lonely seclusion in a country house, the poem talks about her miserable life without her lover. La Belle Dame Sans Merci is a ballad which means the language is simple, bare and direct. The poem starts off with a kind of 'narrator' for the first few paragraphs. He basically sets the scene. The narrator describes the atmosphere as eerie, desolate and bleak. There was no noise at all, it was very quiet-"and no birds sing." The second paragraph is when the narrator first speaks to the knight. The season is supposedly autumn/winter time. He asks the knight what's wrong with him. The knight is describes to be "haggard" and look like he's been 'dragged through a hedge backwards.' His face is pale and he
What Is the “Abortion Debate”.
WHAT IS THE "ABORTION DEBATE" How do Christians involve themselves in it? Here are some points to consider: is the zygote inside the women a human, if so when does it become one? The "abortion debate" is a discussion that people have, arguing for or against abortion. There are many issues, whether the baby inside the women is human? If it is considered as human then why is it killed by abortion? It's murder. A baby should have the same human rights as any other human. But obviously if it was considered to be human it wouldn't be destroyed (aborted). There are various opinions as to when the embryo is considered to be human. (1) Life begins at birth, when the baby has passed down the birth canal and has drawn its first breath (2) Life begins at viability. This is the stage that the baby could survive outside the womb if it was born prematurely and this is currently 21 weeks into pregnancy in the UK (3) Life begins at conception. This means at the very moment of conception when the sperm unites with the ovum. As soon as a human life exists it has the right to live and to have the protection of the law. The problem is that different people believe different things. People believe that the embryo is a human at conception because everyone has DNA, which is unique, and this is formed at the moment of conception. The scientific view is that as soon as you can identify the
Have black people in America achieved equality?
Have black people in America achieved equality? In my essay I am going to explain the improvements made by the civil rights movement for black Americans after freedom from slavery. There were many situations that black people faced after freedom from slavery like racial discrimination, segregation between black and white people and torture like lynching. The reasons for why there was an argent need for the civil rights movement was so things would change for black Americans for the better like they would be able to sit together in lunch encounter than separate when they ate. The main achievements that the civil rights movement had was getting an end to segregation and voting rights for black Americans. The key players involved in the civil rights act that made things happen were Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. One of the most important achievements that the civil rights movement had was getting black Americans the right to vote to achieving equality between white and black people. The process of how this achievement was achieved was first by a protest lead by Martin Luther King and certain other people. This march was from Selma to a building in Montgomery, Alabama. On the first March in February 1965 770 people were arrested. Later on the second march led by John Lewis and Horsea Williams mounted police attacked the protestors. These's marches had worried
Fitzgerald is occupied with the notion of illusion and reality. Consider how this concern is expressed in the novel The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald is occupied with the notion of illusion and reality. Consider how this concern is expressed in the novel The Great Gatsby's extensive and frequent references to illusion and reality mirri Fitzgerald's concerns. Illusion, by dictionary definition, is 'The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief', the opposite of reality which is 'The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence'. These were extremely important in the jazz age of the 1920's because many traditions and laws were ignored, creating an illusion of freedom and prosperity. Fitzgerald expresses his concern for this notion in many ways. Fitzgerald uses Nick as a narrator to convey his own ideas about illusion and reality. He is a perceptive narrator who although faced with many illusions of people's characters he sees the reality for what it is, such as when he became friendly with Gatsby but insisted that he disapproved of him from beginning to end" because he saw through the illusion of Gatsby as a person. Also we know that Tom and Nick had been good friends in college but Nick readily admits the reality of Tom and Daisy as being careless and selfish people. As a reader of the novella, we are under the illusion that we meet the charaters as Nick tells us and learn about them as he does, but the reality is that Nick is talking after the summer is over, he
Are there more stomata per mm2 on old leaves or young leaves?
Are there more stomata per mm2 on old leaves or young leaves? Planning Equipment Leaves (old and young) Clear nail-varnish Microscope Lamp Forceps Slide Graticule (1cm) Method I will take some old leaves and some young leaves. I aim to use three of each. I think this is a realistic amount to use because it is a slow process. The leaves I will use will be from a cherry laurel bush (prunus laurocerasus). I will know which leaves are young and which are old by their colour and size. Young leaves are small and a lighter green. Old leaves are larger, and a darker green. First, I will clean the leaf, to remove dust and dirt. Then I will paint 1cm2 of clear nail-varnish on the underside of the leaf, because that is where the stomata are. I will paint the nail-varnish to one side of the mid-rib, but not too near the edge. I will then leave it to dry, while I measure the size of the microscope's field of view, on medium power. To do this, I will use the graticule to measure its diameter, then divide this in half to find the radius. Then I will use the radius measurement in the formula ?r2 to work out the area of the field of view. When the nail-varnish is fully dry, I will carefully peel it off with a pair of forceps, and place it on a slide the same way up as it was on the leaf. Then I will look at it under the microscope. It will be a perfect imprint of the underside of
How does the playwright, Willy Russell, make the strong, rebellious and independent aspects of Shirley’s character stand out against the dreary confines of the Liverpudlian kitchen sink setting where we first see her?
How does the playwright, Willy Russell, make the strong, rebellious and independent aspects of Shirley's character stand out against the dreary confines of the Liverpudlian kitchen sink setting where we first see her? Willy Russell was born near Liverpool. Russell left school at 15 and became a hairdresser before changing his career to teaching where he was able to write and then to being a playwright. Willy Russell once said, "... that would mean a drastic change of course. Could I do it? I could I do something which those around me didn't understand? I would have to break away." This is relevant because the attitude in this speech comes out in his plays. In Shirley Valentine she does something drastic but doubts whether she can do it and no- one understands why she has to do it. It also shows that you can achieve what you want in life. Russell explores a number of themes throughout Shirley Valentine. One theme that Russell explores is changing your life. This is shown when Shirley becomes happier and confident in herself. Russell also explores the theme of how seeing different places affects you. This is shown when Shirley goes to Greece and realises there is a lot more to life than what she is used to. Another theme Russell explores is how other people's opinions and expectations influence you. This is shown in what Joe expects Shirley to have done when he gets home
Compare the early lives of Jane Eyre with Billy Casper.
Compare the early lives of Jane Eyre with Billy Casper Charlotte Bronte wrote the gothic novel Jane Eyre in 1847 and is probably the most famous of all 4 of her novels. The story is about a girl who was brutally abused as a child and who grows up to try and lead a normal life and find love which was not a common thing for a girl of her stature in that era. Jane Eyre is a very intelligent girl for 10 years of age and after her mum and dad die she is sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle Reed in Gateshead. However her Uncle dies and so becomes much neglected. She enjoys reading and for her age she reads very complicated books. She does not have any friends in her life at Gateshead and does not get on with any of her cousins who live there especially "Master" John Reed. Neither he nor his mother respects Jane at all. No one seems to understand Jane at Gateshead and she doesn't often get to speak her own opinion and Mrs Reed does a lot of her talking for her. Mrs Reed has an ideal picture of Jane in her mind and it is someone Jane does not want to be. "A Kestrel for a Knave" (KES) is written by Barry Hines in the mid 1960s and it is all about a young boy called Billy Casper. It is written in much more modern times than Jane Eyre. At the beginning of the novel Billy's situation seems totally different to Jane's but later on the novel we realise that their situations are not so

Prose Study Short, entertaining stories were extremely popular within the Victorian era, and a number of popular writers emerged, captivating their Victorian audience with their suspenseful tales. Elizabeth Gaskell, Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens were all respected authors in this era, and they produced three of the most tense short stories ever created; 'The Old Nurse's Story,' 'The Black Cottage' and 'The Black Veil', which cater for Victorian tastes. Therefore, each story boasts a moral that the writers have chosen to present in equally effective ways. These taught the Victorians how to live their lives, and followed the teachings of the Christian faith, while also revealing the writers' social concerns. Each writer has chosen their own distinctive ways to present their Victorian story, and the openings are designed to attract their readers into their tale. 'The Old Nurse's Story' has been written in first person, in order to convey the feelings of Hester, to the readers that she was 'mighty proud' to be selected as a 'nurse-maid'. 'The Black Cottage' uses Bessie for first person narration, and her feelings about her 'foster-sister' and how she will remember the 'kindness and friendship' 'gratefully to the last day of' her 'life'. This gives the readers Bessie's feelings about Mrs Knifton, describing Bessie's point of view, to ensure that the readers automatically
