This article captured my attention because it did not only focus on the effects of bad workplace conditions on healthcare workers, but it also pointed out how it effects the healthcare field and the particular business overall. Healthcare workers morale, productivity, and work ethic begin to deteriorate and slowly worsen the more they are forced to work in such conditions such as being short staffed, working mandatory overtime, or simply not being given a break. In this article it focuses on things that can be changed to improve such environments that healthcare workers are forced to work in. It must first start with managers standing up for their employees and making these changes happen. It also focuses on things such as workplace incentive that would motivate the employees to feel appreciated even if they must work in these types of environments or situations. With all of the things that healthcare works are exposed to being stress or actual diseases there needs to be more attention on the health of the employees as well as the patients the nurses work so hard to care for. The most important thing to keep a business running is to keep the employees happy, and this begins with making sure all employees have a safe and healthy work environment.

Simuforosa, Magwa. The Impact of Modern Technology on the Educational Attainment of Adolescents. 9 Sept 2013,www.ijern.com/journal/September-2013/23.pdf.

Modern technology is changing the generation perspective of growing up. This brings the positive and the negative among teenagers. By empowering students to plan, discover, experiment, access knowledge and model dynamic phenomena, technology will promote deep concepts of information, high-level thought and deep participation. High-level social networking activity leads students to lose concentration on academic assignments and impacts their academic outcomes negatively. The use of the media as both a source of information and a means of communication is an essential part of school of many developed nations. Therefore, skill in the use of technology is key to the academic success of teenagers in classrooms. There is an increasing need to consider the recipe for success with ever-expanding technology, which involves the student, the teacher, the content and the world in which technology is used.

Being burnt out and having no time for yourself or your life has become the new normal for healthcare employees and there are studies to prove it. This article points out the fact that there has been an increase in stress and burnout in the workplace worldwide, with healthcare being the main one. Many different studies were done on workplace employees of a hospital and all of which showed mild stress amongst all the staff. The source of all the stress was heavy workload and resource scarcity. Both can easily be improved by having more employees present to alleviate the workload. A continuous amount of stress on employees eventually leads to a feeling of burn out which can have a major effect on the employees' health. If the people who are supposed to be the ones to care for the sick begin developing diseases and having health problems the healthcare field will continue to be short staffed. The main way to fix this problem is by having management make the changes to alleviate and care for their employees and the health of their employees.

This article caught my eye because the idea of defunding police departments throughout the United States has been a huge topic on social media platforms. The death of George Floyd under the custody of officers caused more uproar in the United States, especially in the home state of Minnesota where the incident occurred. The Mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti created a new movement of defunding the police by reducing the police’s budget and investing it towards communities of color. According to studies over the years police budgets have increased majorly! The spending has increased from 1977 until now, from $42 billion to $115 billion in 2017. The spending has mostly been going towards operational costs like salaries and benefits. The debate between defunding the budget is that it will affect trainings, impacts hiring and impacts the ability to develop good leaders. I believe that police’s budgets should be limited, and more money needs to go into the black communities. Investing into communities will allow for better education systems, better neighborhoods, building rec centers that have programs and extracurricular activities to occupy kids and teens.

Survey Tips-Hints to better assist you in the making of the SURVEY QUESTIONNARE:

1. Creating Survey Questions

Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods

1. Purpose Statement

There should always be a reason for research.

Whether to provide solutions to a problem or verify data is truthful and valid.

Think about the subjects or participants in the study. How are they crucial to the research?

Keep a collection of sources and continue to synthesize information in a journal throughout the research.

How to Write a Proposal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNkws0x0W0o#action=share

1. The Use of Theory

Theory is the framework of your research. We apply a philosophical and a humanitarian approach when we suggest problems or flaws in a system.

Dick Hebdige discussed the reasoning behind subculture: why young adults decided to rebel against s political system? This was in 1951 when he studied marginalized subcultures like punk.

Why does this matter? Who needs to know? How is the relevant to society?

d. Audience

Conducting research and formulating abstracts or proposals is different than Composition Writing.

Typically, we write in English class: Narrative, Persuasive, Expository, Compare/Contrast or Cause/Effect.

A Research Proposal can be a combination of all these writing styles, so your audience could be a variable of people.

The people should be professionals in the field of your research: graduate committees, conference attendees, or colleagues in the field.

2ND THESIS

Thesis

Technology has been improving in society with each passing year. Technological improvements mean that organizations or businesses can venture through the use of these technologies and improve on the outcome of the products or services that they are providing to the consumers. Start-ups benefit from technology in different ways, such as providing easy information and business evaluation. However, challenges such as start-up businesses selecting the right software tools and allocating proper resources to the business start-ups possess challenges to organizations or individuals that intend on starting their businesses and creating employment.

ESSAY

Trends of Financing Startup Businesses in the era of Technology

My research will be based on my major which is Finance, “Trends of Financing Startup Businesses in the era of Technology.” Advancement in technology have led to immense change in the field of finance which will be my major area of study. For a startup business to be successful in its respective market, there must be strong financial support. As the business thrives and earns profits, the Entrepreneur would start paying up the money slowly (Dunn and Liang). Also, An entrepreneur would get money from friends and family who would have small donations for the business's starting capital. However, the current ways of funding new ventures have been modernized and transformed. I will discuss two trends in funding new ventures for entrepreneurs; these include Crowdfunding and Initial Coin Offering (ICO).

Crowdfunding is a new trend in town for raising capital. This implies that an entrepreneur can raise funds from a crowd, mostly on online platforms. Crowdfunding can take a variety of forms (Mitra). There are three types of Crowdfunding, which include Equity crowdfunding, Debt Crowdfunding, and Donation crowdfunding, respectively. Donation Crowdfunding is more or less similar to the traditional form of raising money through donations from friends, family, and charities, and so forth. In Donation Crowdfunding, the Entrepreneur can set up an account, page, or project on an online platform and request finances to kick start their business. The power of the internet makes this Donation crowdfunding all too easy. 

The other type of Crowdfunding is Equity crowdfunding. In this form of funding, investors can chip in cash to start the business online in exchange for equity. Investors who invest in the business get a piece of the business in the form of company securities. In the instance that the business's value appreciates with time, so does the investors' shares and securities increase. The third and final type of Crowdfunding is Debt Crowdfunding. Unlike the other two kinds of Crowdfunding, this type of Crowdfunding offers startup finances to the Entrepreneur as a debt (Mitra). This means that the Entrepreneur will have to pay back the funds he or she is given. However, this type of Crowdfunding can be risky in the sense that defaulter pays a considerable sum of money if they do not pay back the loan. Private lenders give loans.

Initial Coin Offering is also another type of funding for a business that has become very lucrative. A startup company can sell cryptocurrencies in the form of tokens or coins for real-time prices to investors (Balaban, Župljanin, and Ivanović). This is mostly done for business in the blockchain sector; however, other entrepreneurs are also adopting this method. The tokens are the ones that help to gain funding for the company. If the value of the coin or token appreciates, then the investors will get more money. 

ICO's are perfect for startups as a business is not tied to debts. ICO's are also very flexible and available to any person who requires to use them. Many investors worry about the Liquidity of their assets (Howel, Niessner, and Yermack). In most cases, Investors fear that the capital they have invested in will take a long time to convert into cash. However, with ICO's, the Liquidity of assets is instant, and investors at any time can turn their invested assets into cash. The Initial Coin Offering is also a good idea in funding a business because it is not competitive. Furthermore, investors can invest at any time due to its openness.

Summary Statement: The article discusses the tensions that are created by the public service business model, and the technological business model. The author also indicates the challenges in understanding business models and proper technological applications affect start-up businesses. Hence, there is a need to address these to improve on the technology.

Back in the mid 70, the stagnation of most parts of the western world was due to the inflation created by World War II. While it is true, we have come far from the days of despair and anguish, it is also true that small businesses gave the crisis a different meaning. They were resourceful and flexible using new technology outpowering the large companies. United State for over 60 years has constantly been revising the trade policy. But it is also true that it is not a well-organized policy, it has flaws, making it hard for small business to make good decisions. The unemployment rate is high, and millions of Americans are following their dreams with the help of family members, friends who would help them to bet back to normal. The future is uncleared, we can’t stop thinking on how, where, and what it would need to change in order to give the trade policy a different shape view. Even if small businesses are in demand and there is a variety to pick from, the question still stands on how to get access to fund? And the new way of funding them is through cryptocurrencies. Small businesses are considered the best choice to get the economy back to normal.

INFORMATION LOOK ON THE NEW SOURCE ASSIGNMENT

An event as tragic and unexpected as the rapid contagion of thousands of people around the world (and, unfortunately, the death of many, terrible!) Is causing our economies to reel. Events unfold so quickly that the numbers affected are changing hour by hour. The WHO has already announced that we are facing a pandemic. Without prior immunization, or vaccines or retroviral, for the moment, our only form of prevention is a lot of hygiene, and even more responsibility to avoid contagion.

This is a case where there is a very clear negative externality and where coordination in responses, managed by public powers, is essential to be able to get out of this economic crisis, which is already here. Currently our governments are taking severe measures to prevent contagion (teleworking, limitation of the possibility of travel, prohibition of crowds). The fundamental objective, as the Public Administration and the media are insisting so much, is that the Health system does not collapse for this, the flow of infected at any given time cannot be exorbitant. Hence the need to strictly observe prevention, isolation and social distance measures. For example, South Korea's strategy to monitor potential patients via the App while doing massive checks on the population in open public spaces enabled for this purpose, instead of house to house or in hospitals and, thereby mitigating infections and collapses, has been tremendously successful. We should learn from them. In any case, social distance is essential to reduce the growth rate of infections.
