Divakarunis Narrative Techniques

Divakarunis Narrative Techniques Narrative is a telling of some invented and true events or linked series of events, described by a narrator (even though may be more than one of each). Narratives are to be identified from descriptions of situation, state, or qualities, and also from theatrical performance of events even if a theatrical work may also comprise narrative speeches. A narrative will reside on a set of actions recounted in a procedure of discourse or narration, in which the events are arranged and selected in a particular order as a plot. As Abbott defined it, Narrative is the representation of events, consisting of story and narrative discourse, story is an event or sequence of events (the action), and narrative discourse is those events as represented1. The category of narratives contains both the shortest descriptions of events and the longest biographical or historical works plus travelogues, diaries in addition to short stories, ballads, novels, epics, and other fictional forms. In the study of ficti on, it is normal to divide the short stories and novels into third person narratives and first person narratives. Thus, Rather than focusing on general, abstract situations or trends, stories are accounts of what happened to particular people and of what it was like for them to experience what happened in particular circumstances and with specific consequence. Narrative, in other words, is a basic human strategy for coming to terms with time, process, and change a strategy that contrasts with, but is in no way inferior to, scientific modes of explanation that characterize phenomena as instances of general covering laws. 2 As an adjective, narrative stands for characterized by or concerning to storytelling. Therefore, narrative technique is the way of telling stories, and narrative poetry is the group of poems including verse romances, ballads, and epic that tells stories, as different from lyric and dramatic poetry. But, to be categorized as a narrative, an event sequence must therefore involve some kind of noteworthy disruption of an initial state of equilibrium by an unanticipated and often untoward event or chain of events 3. Factually speaking, narrative is a story and it can be expressed all the way through poetry, pictures, speech, songs, non-fiction, and fiction as well. When in the writing form, its telling is demoted to a special person; it becomes a method used by that person. This person who is assigned the task of narration is the narrator and his observant serves as a figure or gem through which ideas are passed on to the readers. Narrative technique is very much an artistic venture. Thus, The narrative is about conflict. The narrative is about the temporality of existence. The narrative is about problem solving. The narrative is about human experience. The narrative is about interpersonal relations. A narrator holds the present, detains past and gets ready the reader for future. Usually, these techniques are explained by the points of view in the novel. There are three points to present a narrative: the narrator takes part in the action and also comments on the incidents, third person viewpoint when the narrator narrates the story in an objective way, and omniscient viewpoint where the narrator is like God and can also make his existence felt with authorial interruptions. A narrator has a surfeit of options to describe events. He can base his narrative on causality and temporality or he can narrate all the way through vocalization. Vocalization alters the path of the narrative as the reader gets images of character by the impression of the narrator. It employs three dimensional approach: one who sees, his understanding of events, and the voice of one who narrates. An exceptional feature of prose fiction uses narration and explanation as the manners of the story presented. By applying the device of narration, a prose fiction writer tells her tales by assembling actions in her tine sequence. This method of narration may turn the story understandable and bring it lively to the readers imagination. On the other hand, the explanation of the prose can be both psychological and physical so that it brings feelings and scene to the thoughts of the readers. As a result, through the description and the narration used, the readers of a prose fiction will be competent to understand the story well. Moreover, according to Abrams, the novel is also defined as an extended narrative covering a wide range of characters and experience (1958). Furthermore, the novel opens up wider possibilities for the direct communication of experiences as there is the more private relationship between reader and writer (Shipley, 1962). So, both the writer and the reader can share the everyday experience, because most novels concerned with ordinary people and their problems in the societies in which they find themselves (Peck and Coley, 1984). This chapter seeks to provide an accessible introduction to key ideas about narrative technique with the special reference of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and an overview of the major approaches to narrative inquiry. It will also register multiple perspectives on the study of Divakarunis novels. It will furnish a synoptic account of this area of investigation. So, narrative technique is an approach in which stories can be viewed as supporting many communicative and cognitive activities. Divakaruni writes about the real mirror image of cultural evils or problems. Besides, she also reflects herself as an immigrant in the U.S.A. She is an Indian immigrant who group up in America; it makes her a specialist in blending two cultures, both Indian and American. The major hypothesis behind the study is that narrative discourse or dialogue is created out of the interaction of the cultural reunions as they are coded in readers activity and the languages in discussing the meanings generated by the text. The helpful method is not personal in that it does not depend on the personal feelings of reader and writer; nor impersonal in that human are being essentially involved. The present study focuses on this inter-subjective sphere continued with a whole set of narrative actions that are of great implication in the fiction writers craft. It is believed that the texts by women writers reproduce an extensive range of specific appropriation of the style and language they use on a daily basis and that the feminist novel completes its picture of the world as it is seen by women. Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar in The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth Century Literary Imagination (1979) have traced out that there are assiduous images in womens writings which points out that women writers try to express their restrictions and their confinement, by they cannot express their themes and images in their usual language; for that reason their language is a double-voiced discourse. Therefore, a portrayal of the double-voiced discussion will always be a multifaceted and miscellaneous undertaking because the feminist critic almost contradictory must make an effort to look for meaning there. The hunt for specifically female images and themes is a frequently critic work out. Myth criticism has also proved to b e rewarding for a study of womens fiction, and more studies depend on structuralism and deconstructive process. Writers use different styles and techniques in order to explain their experiences or practices. As Jasbir Jain remarks while discussing this in her article Gender and Narrative Strategy: Women writers while evolving narrative strategies are faced with double problem: how to step out of the frame-work defined by men and patriarchal values; and how to identify and create a tradition of their own.4 Women writers are faced with a dual mind state when writing out their stories the fact is that they are the writers who are writing about unique feeling and experiences dissimilar from that of ordinary men, as well as the reality that they are women. When they seek to do well in their writing, they have to increase above their feeling of gender unfairness or inequality. This is more appropriate for a feminist writer who tries to give air to the strong feelings of fury and bigotry against the oppression and injustice of women she sees around her. In order to make such observations genuinely the woman writer resorts to a variety of narrative strategies. Jasbir Jain continues, When the experience which is being narrated moves against the current, is unconventional or unusual, is radical in its standpoint, or display a strength which may be best muted for the time being, strategy is resorted to. There is no hesitation in laying a false trail or employing subterfuge. Moreover, it is never the same, for them it would become a theory. It may be imaged, or landscape, or scriptural references, or characters, or subplot, or structure which is being used for this purpose and waiting to be decoded. 5 Thus, the women writers use lots of techniques in order to build spaces for themselves at different levels. How far they are at variance from the writing of men is a question that is not easy to answer. But Jasbir Jain further says that, It is not a difference of form one cannot say that men write about external facts and women about internal life; one cannot also say that men write about thickly inhabited worlds and women do write about the responses of women of the shadows which they alone can see and the anguish they alone can feel. It is a difference of perspective. 6 Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has struggled with contemporary subjects and a range of themes- marginalization, marriage, motherhood, conflicts, mothering, class, individuation, woman as mother, wife, sister and lastly yet considerable woman as a human being not just as a second sex or sex object. She seeks cynical about customs and tradition, yet she finds out in their heritage the keys for the longings and needs of women in current time. She is modernist writer since her writing highlights the idea of the trivial woman with an endocentric set up, widespread in the non first world and the first world. In her works, insights take preference over the compulsion of technique. She recognizes the paradoxes in a given area and also pays an ideological, cultural, philosophical, artistic struggle. In this sense, the author hypothesizes the sign of modernism, ego, freedom, love, sex as challenging through her modern emotional responses. Divakaruni writes a lot of narration speakers to have A clear window in the characters, which is shown by the narration of Indian culture value voices as an Indian person in the adopted land, who engages in the cultural conflicts. Like Charles said in the San Jose Mercury news, Divakarunis narrative in Vine of Desire is as gracefully structured as a piece of chamber music, with its interplay of themes and voices, ensemble and solo, working their way toward a final resolving chord. If you find yourself counting the pages left in the book, its likely to be because you wish there were many, many more. 7 A clear window seems to be like the tools of communication between the reader and the writer. Another quality which makes Divakaruni becomes one of the best writers is she offers her readers a window into the multicultural world of her characters. She said, I have no particular reader in my mind but a passionate desire to tell an honest moving story. She adds, If it is good literature, I know as all sensitive writers know, the reader and the writer will connect8. In The Vine of Desire (2002), Divakaruni writes about the mirror image of Indian immigrant in the U.S.A., which is in contrast with the culture of the adopted land. Here in this novel through Sudha and Anju, she exemplifies a contrasting perspective between the unselfishness required of women in India and the occasional freedom offered in their adopted land. The portrayal of the characters outer and inner worlds bring a rich emotional to the story about two women who learn to build peace with the complicated choices which circumstances forced upon them. There are some other novels also with this same concept such as Mistress of Spices (1997) and Queen of Dream (2004), where the protagonist gone through the sense of rootlessness. Divakarunis originality and talent lie in her technique of narration. She has used various techniques in writing such as alternative narrative, first and third person narrative, stream of consciousness, letter and diary writing, myth and magic realism particularly to express disordered and tragic condition of Indian immigrants while establishing themselves to the new civilization. As magic and myth have been a perpetual source of themes for literary writers all over the world since times immemorial. Therefore, magic realism is an artistic genre or style of fiction in which magical essentials combines with the real world. In this technique the story explains these magical elements as real episodes presented in a direct way places fantastic and the real in the similar stream of thought, it is originated in the German art criticism of painting of Weimer Republic and invented by Franz Roh. Hypothetically, the term was born in the twentieth century linking it to post modernism and for this reason it is used in modern fiction to blend fantastic and fabulous events in a narrative to uphold reliable tone of objective genuine report. It ascribes a novel the characteristics like fable, folktale, legend, myth, fantasy, romance, dream, meta narration, mysticism, especially related to the culture. In Brenda Coopers words, Magical realism attempts to capture reality by way of a depiction of lifes many dimensions, seen and unseen, visible and invisible, rational and the process, such writers walk a political tightrope between capturing this reality and providing precisely the exotic escape by some of their western readership. 9 Divakarunis magical realism is to bridge the gap between present and past state of affairs and its prolific entreaty for Indian immigrants who suffers from miscellaneous kinds of tensions is actually a phenomenon. She successfully used magic realism in her first novel, The Mistress of Spices (1997). She reveals characteristics like self-presentation, visions, eclecticism, mythology, folktales, discontinuity, saying, multiplicity, fables, Bengali culture and tradition to assert appropriating her identity all over the world. The central character in the present novel Tilo has a magic power that becomes the owner of spice shop where she is a master of all spices and speaks to them as characters to resolve the troubles of people in the real world with the assist of magic. She creatively applied magic on Indian immigrants particularly to impart them their heart desires and to overcome their suffering. Spices, legends and myth are beautifully put together by her for the relaxation of people and their psychological, mental, physical problems. So, In order to portray magic realism Divakaruni formed such a character like Tilo who is born in India. She defeats the pirate captain to become a pirate queen and after that she lives on the spice island where she is educated in the art of controlling and listening to the spices. This remote island is a place of protection for these women, who call themselves the Mistresses of Spices and are beneath the concern of the First Mother, the wisest and the eldest teacher. After received skills of the art, she is sent to Oakland, California, to a small Indian spice shop Spice Bazaar where she must begin her tasks of curing the masses. The first rule is that to survive a life of bachelor and never to yield carnal desires; secondly not to leave her place; thirdly, if she doesnt pursue these rules, there is no outcome of spices on people. So, she is warned by her mother not to fall in love with anyone. She should be a virtuous, sincere, and pure while applying the magic of spices and otherwi se she will lose her power over all spices. Old One says, But let me ask you certain you wish to become mistress? It is not to let to choose an easier life. Are you ready to give up your Young body, to take and age and ugliness and unending service? Ready never to step out of the places where you are set down, store or school or healing house? Are you ready never to love any but the spices again? 10 As per as the above illustration in concerned we can understand that spices play a very important role in the novel. India is the land of various spices as Chilly, Sesame, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Asafetida, Tulsi, Fenugreek, Brahmi, etc.; for Tilo these are nothing but characters similar to other human beings who speak to her. Thus, here the use of legendary stories juxtaposing with spices relates to different cultural stories. The author strikes a fragile balance between fantasy and realism in her other novels also. In all her books like Sister of My Heart (1999), Queen of Dream (2004), and Palace of Illusion (2008) there is a mixture of fantasy and realism. Sister of My Heart has numerous reference of Bidhata Purush, whom the mother visits frequently to get knowledge about the future. The old tales say this also: In the wake of Bidhata Purush come the demons, for this is the worlds nature, good and evil mingled. That is why they leave an oil lamp burning11. The incident of fathers death in the caves of Sunderban, where a million rubies grew up and the caves protected by demons are all essentials of fantasy. All these are elements of fantasy which are intermingled with the story. But they are very well appended in the text. Even in Queen of Dreams also Rakhis mother can forecast peoples future with her dreams and assist them to get out of the nastiest situations. While describing the common experiences of the Indian diasporic society, Queen of Dreams creates an Indian-American experience with magic realism. The narrative of this novel presents the connection between the subconscious and wakefulness. The author has whirled a delightful story of a second generation immigrant Rakhi who is trying to discover her identity, with her dream-interpreting mother contributing to the mystery and magic. Her mother Mrs. Gupta interprets dreams the other peoples lives depend on her, used to warn them and aid them because of her, a dream is a telegram from the hidden world12. The essence of the whole novel rests on the words of Mrs. Gupta as she explains the dream and construes the meaning of it. Thus, this novel portrays an amusing typical tale of self-discovery which is full of supernatural elements, mystery, suspense, and real experiences of an immigrant. In this novel, Mrs. Guptas profound past and her secret working of the present is brought to light through her dream journals posthumously. Her dream journals are only her longing memories of her past life in the caves with the elder which actually ascertains her cultural identity. In her journal she describes herself as an essential part of the group. The author used the first person singular narrative to describe her inner feeling, The dream comes heralding joy. I welcome the dream The dream comes heralding sorrow. I welcome the dream. The dream is a mirror showing me my beauty. I bless the dream. My life is nothing but a dream. From which I will wake into death, Which is nothing but a dream of life. 13 Divakaruni is stylistically different; she uses the combination of first person and third person narrative joined with flashback devices to provide realism and force in the novel. The writer used the flashback in time using a type of methods such as retelling of memories and dream sequences. Flashback breaks in a narratives linear time flow. She deals with the heroines self-analysis and also tries to include several other themes. To gain the interest of the reader, sometime she evades the simple technique of straight forward narration and takes up the flashback method. Divakarunis novels begin in the present but for a while move back and onward in time. As we know how much important characters are in a story and Chitra Banerjee usually portrays women characters as a protagonist. Her story focuses on the life of a woman specially an immigrant. Through them she tries to depict their inner feeling and experiences. Though we know the characters and their dialogues play a very important r ole to narrate a story. Characters can be approached from a lot of theoretical points of view, each yielding a different theory and conception of the characters. In widest sense, Character designates any entity, individual or collective normally human or human-like introduced in a work of narrative fiction. Characters thus exist within storyworlds, and play a role, no matter how minor, in one more of the states of affairs or events told about in the narrative. Character can be succinctly defined as storyworld participant.14 Not only the characters but their dialogues also play an important role regarding to the narrative technique. On behalf of the voices of characters in a story is an effectual way of stimulating a narrative. An essential aspect of how we memorize and grow close to fictional characters is the way they speak. Chitra Banerjee tries to take her readers into the mind of the protagonist who put some light on her condition and all loose strings are tied at the end. The first person narration also permits the author to investigate deep into the mind of the protagonist, exposing her frustrations and fear. First-person narration is a style where a tale is narrated by one character at a time, talking for and about them. First-person narrative may be plural, singular or several as well as being a reliable, authoritative or illusory voice. This allows the audience or reader to see the point of view including thoughts, feeling, and opinions only of the narrator. Divakaruni, in the Authors note, say s that, I was left unsatisfied by the portrayals of the womenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦.they remain shadowy figures, their thoughts and motives mysterious, their emotions portrayed only when they affected the lives of the male heroes, their roles ultimately subservient to those of their fathers or husband, brothers and sons. If I ever wrote a bookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦.I would place the women in the forefront of the action. I would uncover the story that lay invisible between the lines of the mens exploits. 15 Draupadi, in Divakarunis The Palaces of Illusions (2008), voyages from being a woman frequently made the issue of narration by patriarchal narratives of becoming a woman who personally narrates itself, in the process, conquering the narratives that have created her womanhood through the countries. By becoming both the agent of the action and narrator, Draupadi picked up the voice of womanhood. This novel generates an impression that among all accounts of the Draupadis story, this one is the most genuine because Draupadi herself enacts and narrates the story of her life apparently without an authorial interruption. Draupadi wants to liberally sing the song of her own life which is multivalent, colourful, and complex. She says, Id played a crucial role in bringing them to their destiny. Id shared their hardship in Khandav. Id helped them design this unique palace which so many longed to see. If they were pearls, I was the gold wire on which they were strung. Alone, they would have scattered, each to his dusty corner.16 Hence, the life of Draupadi, a renowned woman character of ancient India, comes in close proximity to the modern times. It is the energy and fire in Draupadi plus the strength to fight for discrimination. Her multifaceted quality makes her the most majestic and mysterious women for all ages. The novel begins with her fanatical interest of life. Once she said, Through the long, lonely years of childhood, when my fathers place seemed to tighten its grip around me until I couldnt breathe, I would go to my nurse and ask for a story. And though she knew many wondrous and edifying tales, the one I made her tell me over and over was the story of my birth. I think I liked it so much because it made me feel special, and in those days there was little else in my life that did. 17 Such manifold narration of her own lifes story offers Draupadi with a critical insight into her story. She not only acts in response to the events narrated but also critical views other peoples responses to the actions or events of her life. As a result, Divakaruni used this technique very well by narrating the story of her protagonists through their own words. We can usually find a first person narrative in her works where the protagonist tells us about her own life, inner feeling, experiences, etc. The author has created wonderful female characters. She always gave focus on her female figures like Anju, Sudha, Tilo, Rakhi, Mrs. Gupta, and so on. Even in her novel The Mistress of Spices, Chitra Banerjee quotes by her heroine about who is she and what her significance as a mistress of spices in the opening of her novel. She narrates such as, I am a mistress of spices. I can work the others too. Mineral, metal, earth and sand and stone. The gems with their cold clear light. The liquids that burn their hues into your eyes till you see nothing else. I learned them all on the island. But the spices are my loveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦.In a whisper they yield up to me their hidden properties, their magic powers. 18 Thus, her novels are usually written in first person and thoroughly hold the reader. The chapters in Divakarunis novels are named after the central characters. In Sister of My Heart and Vine of Desire the chapters are alternatively named after Anju and Sudha. This is a very exclusive pattern of writing which evidently brings out the internal feelings of the protagonists. Even in Queen of Dreams the chapters are separated between the Form the Dream journals-the diary of Rakhis mother and Rakhi. The journals are read by Rakhi and her father. These dream journals are the disclosure of Ms. Guptas life as a dream teller. Further in her novel Mistress of Spices she has chosen yet another different way. She has named the chapters of the novel on the names of spices. It is written with a fusion of poetry and prose. This book is very spiritual in its features and as Divakaruni says, I wrote in a spirit of play, collapsing the divisions between the realistic world of twentieth century America and the timeless one of myth and magic in my attempt to create a modern fable19. Except all this she also used techniques of letter, diary, and storytelling to enrich her work and make it interesting for the readers. It is noticed that Chitra Banerjee makes a careful use of satire, irony or yet humour, which are the features of remarkable works of art. Blazes of irony are apparent in one or two episodes in a couple of novels but they do not seem to be integrated deliberately by the writers. The ironical circumstances in the lives of the protagonists are scattered here and there in approximately all her novels. In Divakarunis novels satire is more apparent. Her female protagonists who are trying to understand their country of acceptance face ironical situation. In Sister of Heart Sudha comes to America with the purpose that she would be having an innate capacity to bring up her daughter Dayita better life but she has no idea that this would mess up her bond with her sister of heart Anju. Further, In Queen of Dreams the main protagonist Rakhi and her friends are second age group Indians, they think that America is the only country that they fit in. But their individuality is also questioned during the attacks of September 11. Irony is enormously well-known in the works of Divakaruni. The writer makes use of myths to improve the imaginative consequence of the novel. Indian writers in English have derived encouragement from the wealth of matter available in the appearance of stories from the Mahabharata, the Ramanaya, and the Puranas plus local folklore and legends. The most regularly used fig ures from Indian legends is of course Sita, who is well thought-out as the model woman. In Divakarunis novels, there are no straightforward allegories made but one can depict equivalent with the mythological and legendary women in her works. In Sister of my Heart Sunils father enjoys by proclaiming offensive passages about women from the Hindu scriptures. In India her protagonists are anticipated to go behind the footsteps of the legendary women figures. Divakarunis latest novel Palace of Illusions is also predicated on the mythological figure Draupadi. In this novel Divakaruni has illustrated The Mahabharata from Draupadis point of view. Amusingly, even though education and the power of the feminist movement, many prejudices opposite of women still persevere. For the contemporary human being, the past becomes obsolete or if it subsists, it no longer exhibits itself as it was. For this reason, the past must be defined again according to the understanding of each human being. Chtira Banerjee endeavors to come to stipulations with the past in the Ecoian way: The past since it cannot really be destroyedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦must be revisited; but with irony, not innocently. (Umberto Eco p, 67) Thus, the novelist cross-examines the practice of mind emblazoned by the past. It is quite clear here that the protagonists of the novelist like Tilo, Sudha, Anju, Panchali, Rakhi all get free of modesty or humility so as to act in agreement with their inner voice. They are all in fact directed by the spirit while with an ironic equilibrium between faith and disbelief. To them, unfathomable feeling comes out as a later day psychology where Moksha is classified again in relation to the discovery of the Atman (here self, not soul) and the real magic is marked by a novel the sense of lifes path. Chitra Banerjee has nothing to do with the reality that life is not a sequence of show lamps. By the primary use of HOPE chiefly in the conclusion of her novels to pass on a wider human point of view i.e. life is totally changeable and has to be lived through hope as Frye suggests: Irony presents a human conflict which unlike a comedy, a romance or even a tragedy, is unsatisfactory and incomplete unless we see in it significance beyond itself. Something, typical of the human situation as a whole. 20 Divakaruni is a talented writer who uses sensual language to make the novel exciting, besides she is also dramatic and lyrical imaginative writer.

Project Manager Status Report Essay

Provide a quick executive overview of the status of the project in this section It is intended for high level management so it should not get too much into the details of the project. However, it should highlight anything specific, which should be brought to their attention. The Scope/Schedule/Cost/Quality table above is a quick way to present a color coded dashboard for the status report. Typically a variance of +/- 5% will warrant a yellow cautionary color and +/- 10% will warrant a red warning color. For a project which needs tighter control +/- 2% and +/- 5% are used for these thresholds; whereas, other projects with less strict control may use 10% and 20% variances. The percent complete here should be the percent completion of the entire project. For any constraint which is yellow or red this section should contain brief explanation the reason why. Example: The project schedule is 7% behind schedule due to inclement weather which has affected the installation of the fiber optics throughout the campus. This should not affect the project completion date as crews are planning to make up the time by working weekends and extended hours next month. The project risks is red due to the inclement weather and servers which were delivered last month weren’t configured with the correct hardware specifications. The impact of the inclement weather on the schedule will be mitigated by having crews make up the time by working weekends and extended hours next month. Currently we are working with the server vendor to resolve the server hardware configuration problem. The configuration delivered will not handle the work load of going live in two months; however, it is sufficient for development and testing activities scheduled prior to going live. Once you have finished understanding this section you can just highlight the directions and example and place your specific information for your team’s weekly report. Work Planed for Last Month For this section you can copy the â€Å"Worked Planned for Next Week† section from last week’s status report and paste it into this section. Work Completed Last Week In this section you should provide a highlight of work performed and milestones and/or deliverables met during the past week. Work Planned For Next Week Provide an overview of the work being performed during the next week and any milestones or deliverables you expect to meet. Open Issues This section should contain a list of open issues along with their status. Open Risks This section should contain a list of all open risks (risks which have occurred, or are on the verge of occurring). Deliverables and Milestones This section is a quick table, which shows the status of the project milestones and deliverables. The first column is for the name of the Milestone or Deliverable as it’s in the project plan. The next column is the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) number, this makes it easier to find the milestone/deliverable in the project plan (You will create WBS numbers when you create your Work Breakdown Structure form, so for now you can just leave this blank). Planned is the planned date according to the approved project plan, the forecasted is the date you expect and actual is the actual date the milestone was met or deliverable was delivered.

The aim of Perennialism philosophy of education is to ensure that all students receive an educational understanding about the ideas of Western civilization. They emphasize the rational thinking ability of students. With Perennialism they feel that correct and critical thinking should be the primary objective of all students and teachers. Whereas the Essentialist philosophy is the belief that all students should be taught a core of common knowledge in an organized and controlled process. Educators should prepare students for life with the sound practical education. The focus is that educators should instill good morale values, downplaying vocational courses.

Museum Repatriation The Egyptian Revolution - 1039 Words

Museum Repatriation In 2011, the Egyptian Revolution sparked not only dramatic social and political changes in Egypt, but also drastic changes around the world. For years the former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs, Zahi Hawass, unapologetically demanded the return of some of Ancient Egypt’s most valuable treasures including: the Rosetta Stone, the Statue of Hatshepsut, the Luxor Obelisk, the Zodiac Ceiling and Nefertiti’s Bust. He went as far as to formally demand them back and label them as ‘stolen artifacts’, even though he openly admitted Egypt has no legal claim to them. The chances of these artifacts being returned were incredibly slim even before the Egyptian Revolution, but after Egypt had no chance of reclaiming†¦show more content†¦Once a country obtains an item legally, they have the right to do whatever they want with it, including destroy it. The middle east is not a safe place for history (let alone people) right now. So, why would we sen d these artifacts back where they re not safe? One danger of keeping large quantities of artifacts together, is that if there were a disaster, it would affect all of them instead of only a few. The Louvre in Paris alone contains over 35,000 objects. If there were to be a natural disaster, it would affect all of these artifacts. However, many preventative measures are taken. EXPAND (What measures? Louvre fire 1999, example. Mona Lisa security.) Accessibility Along with the safety of the artifacts in certain countries in the middle east and Egypt, it s also not safe for visitors, especially from the United States, which makes the items much less accessible. A good example of this is Nefertiti’s bust. The famous bust was discovered by a German team in 1912, and has been displayed in Berlin since 1913 (with the exception of WWII when she was hidden in a salt mine for safety reasons).

Postpartum Depression Symptoms And Treatment Essay

Postpartum Depression is depression that occurs after performing childbirth. This condition is often mistaken for the â€Å"baby blues† which has similar symptoms such as tearfulness, extreme sadness, anxiety, self-doubt, and fatigue. However, the â€Å"baby blues† goes away within a few weeks after and unlike the â€Å"baby blues†, postpartum depression can cause suicidal thoughts, difficulty making decisions, and feeling too exhausted to get out of bed for hours. If postpartum depression is not treated properly or soon enough it can drastically effect the lives of those who have developed it as well as their families. This is because a mother is a very important figure in one’s life because she is the first person that an individual ever makes an emotional connection with; she’s also the first one to play the role of supplying nourishment to her child. Consequently, â€Å"PPD can affect familial relationships and a woman’s capacity to care for and bond with her newborn. Some research indicates that young children of depressed mothers are at increased risk of delay in cognitive and language development† (McGarry, Kim, Sheng, Egger, Baksh, 2009).

Cultural and Organizational Norms Followed by Tesla Motors

Question: Discuss about theCulture and Organization for Tesla Motors. Answer: Introduction Organizational culture impacts functioning and internal environment for every organization(Caligiuri, 2006). Scope of developing a proactive organizational culture is immense and leadership plays an imminent role in developing and supporting such organizational cultural dynamics. The scope of current report addresses leadership style of Elon Reeve Musk, CEO Tesla Motors in accordance to CLTs Global Dimensions of Leadership. Thus, the discussion pertains to leadership values that have led to transforming the current organizational culture. The existing organizational cultural framework in Tesla Motors that has been conducive to the current leadership. Analysis of issues and practices that let to adopting the Global Dimensions of Cultural Framework. Tesla Motors Tesla Motors, an American automobile manufacturer and energy storage company was established in 2003(Motors, About Tesla. About Tesla., 2015). The company is co-founded by Elon Musk, Marc Tarpenning, Martin Eberhard, JB Straubel and Ian Wright. The company manufactures electric cars, their powertrain components and battery charging equipment. The company is headquartered at Palo Alto, California in U.S. The company has as global customer base and Elon Musk is its current CEO. The company employs around 30,000 employees and attained fame in its production of the Tesla Roadster, being the first electric sports car. The company had a series of launches posts that and its second vehicle being an electric luxury sedan, Model S. The company has been making landmark sales from its introduction of various vehicles and crossed 150,000 units global sales. Elon Musk Elon Musk is an engineer cum inventor and a South African born Canadian-American business investor(Beechler, 2007). He co-founded Tesla Motors and fathered several innovative products for the company. Tesla Motors initially incorporated by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning was later co-founded and taken by Musk post financial crisis of the company in 2008. Musk took over in the leadership position of the company as a CEO and product architect. With his vision and hard work Tesla Motors is on a tremendous roads to prosperity and innovation. It is a market leader with very few competitors in the segment. Shareholders are always taken by surprise by the innovative and new dimensions provided by Musk to the company(Bolden, 2006). Tesla Motors Organizational Culture The scope of the report analysis the impact of organizational culture transformation that took place after Elon Musk joined and took over leadership position in the company. In the initial years of incorporation of the company Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning financed the company. Then Series A round of funding was initiated in which Musk led as he had joined in as Chairman and had certain operational roles. He became the controlling investor from the first round of funding as he had invested a lot of personal funds into the business amounting to USD$7.5 million(Eberhard, 2006). Tesla was established with an aim to commercialize electric vehicle with launching of sports car and then transforming into manufacturing mainstream vehicles as sedans, affordable compacts for mass markets. The company was successful in picking up orders by signing production contracts with Group Lots. In Series B investments also Musk led the investment and in its third round it attracted entrepreneurs as Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. With high amounts of investments brought in from such rounds the company was ready to innovate and march ahead. In spite of such high investments Musk highlights there was need in the company to reduce workforce to 10% due to employee burnout factors(Frey, 2011). Post 2008 when Musk assumed CEO at Tesla Motors he removed 25% of its employees and added another round of financing to save the company from bankruptcy. The year 2009 sw a series of landmark event for the company as US$187 million was raised where Musk had a significant contribution. With prototype Model S was displayed at a press conference that attracted Germanys Dailmer AG for investment of US$ 50 million also Toyota invested significant amount similar to Dailmer AG. Elon Musk played a dramatically transformative role in Tesla Motors by time and again saving the company from bankruptcy(Bird, 2010). He has been ever since been actively innovating and devising ways and means by which the company can perform and establish a sustainable future. Hence the report analyses the transformation into organizational culture brought about by Musk through his series of endeavors and commitment to organizational goals. Conceptual Framework Leadership has a complex structure and encompasses a wider range of variables that are utilized in managing of organizations. While various predominant management and leadership theories are existent the most applicable concept that has been adopted for the purpose of the study is Global Dimensions of Leadership, which is culturally endorsed implicit Leadership (CLT) that encompasses various dimensions of culture across globalization(Hardman, 2015). As Tesla Motors have a globalized customer as well as shareholder base, this is the most appropriate leadership style that is incorporated by Musk. Various other leadership framework are present that can be adopted in an organizational culture as Lewins Leadership Styles, that provided multiple approached for autocratic leaders, democratic leaders and laissez-faire. The Blake-Mouton Managerial Grid is a task-oriented and people-oriented style of leadership. Path-goal Theory which is a specific leadership style focused on completing a spec ific task. Flamholtz and Randles Leadership Style Matrix that is based on capability of people. It is divided into four quadrants and then identifies possible leadership style. Then there are specific leadership style as transformational and servant style of leadership(Morrish, 2010). The above styles of leadership is specific to a context and is one-dimensional in nature as it caters to a either being people oriented or tasks oriented. None of the approaches to leadership encompasses the cultural and globalization aspect. As in case of CLT where the cultural dimensions are added in order to arrive at leadership style followed by CEO of Tesla Motors. As the company has various shareholders from various countries and ethnic backgrounds this style of leadership will benefit the company and will be applicable to Elon Musk, who is the current CEO of the company. Characteristics of Musk can be matched against traits found in CLT Dimensions and overrides all other leadership theories or c oncepts. Musk is an extremely dynamic leader who has competencies in global cultures and has been able to convince and mold various companies across the world to invest in Tesla Motors. His skills in various rounds of investment in the company have been significant in saving the company from running into bankruptcy(Osland, 2006). Explanation Leadership framework are developed and employed in organizations such that they can cater to organizational needs of meeting its goals and objectives. There are various forms of leadership styles and methods for understanding leadership traits. The most applicable leadership that has been selected for the purpose of analysis of the report is Global Leadership(Von Krogh, 2012). Global Leadership consists of an interdisciplinary study that encompasses key elements amongst leaders such that they utilize their personal experiences for familiarizing with physiological, geographical, geopolitical, psychological and anthropological as well as sociological impacts from globalization. The scope of Global leadership is most applicable when an individual aims to collaborate efforts with various stakeholders in spite of environmental complexities with a vision to leverage global mindset. Trends that impact business as colonialism, mass media, innovation and other factors also affect humans in th eir business design and other aspects. The inbuilt talents amongst individuals will help navigate the various diverse issues and arrive at business decisions with focus on globalization(zsomer, 2008). Thus, while operating on a global platform there is immense impact of cross cultural predominance that impact business decisions amongst other variables. Careful examination of skills required to manage cross-cultural traits and behaviors amongst individuals reflected that there are 40 parameters. Geert Hofstedes made significant contribution to the field, by studying cultural parameters across 70 countries and boiled down to six different cultural parameters that can be used to lead, design and manage an entire organization culture effectively. After his diagnosing of the several different cultural parameters, the GLOBE Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness Research took over the works of Hofstedes(Luque). The study formed and grouped various different cultural data and put them in groups according to countries that had certain similarities. Thus, the Globe competency was formed. This consecutive developments led to the establishment of Culturally endorsed implicit leadership (CLT) based on certain values. Thus, incorporating globalization that changes rapidly conduct of organizations the values and features that were ascertained are charismatic or value based, team oriented, self-protective, participative, human orientation and autonomous. By incorporating in these leadership traits or values it became easier to serve the world(Hockerts, 2010). The values of leadership can be discussed as; Charismatic or value based: This is a dimension based on integrity, being performance oriented, decisiveness, visionary, inspirational and being self-sacrificing(Crossan, 2010). This type of leaders can become autocratic and in commanding position. Thus, these leaders are capable of influencing the entire team of individuals easily by their inspirations and in-built visions that drive the entire organization. Team Oriented: This type of leaders is diplomatic, team collaborated, administratively competent and integrative by nature. In case of a toxic leader he would easily malevolent alienating team in order to drive cohesion. The focus of these of leaders is on their team and hence they drive changes or incorporate any vision with dynamic team performances by collaborating with them. Self-protective: Leaders in this case are generally self-centered by nature and face-saving(Musyoki, 2016). They indulge in procedural behavior that can easily introduce conflicts by being conscious of status. Being over protective regarding their status, though they indulge in team work but rarely involves themselves in the conduct for their teams. Participative: Leaders in this domain are well-known for being extremely participative behavior to support the entire team of individuals for goal attainment. Leaders of this type generally indulge in active decision making by involving in feedback systems and team conduct(Kessler, 2015). Human orientation: Leaders of this characteristics are modest and have tremendous compassion for their job role in an altruistic behavior. Autonomous: This type of leaders is capable of functioning without any consultations or advice from anyone(Davies, 2006). These Global dimensions of culturally implicit leadership greatly benefit organizations and team consisting of individuals from varying cultures across the globe. Analysis Elon Musk has been characterized as a leader who is culturally endorsed implicit leader and encompasses several Globe trends. The company boards and employee base for Tesla Motors has a dynamic team structure that encompasses global attributes and structures. Team within Tesla is highly diversified which has matched the competencies that Musk has(House, 2008). His capabilities have led the teams for continued innovations and to thrive for success for the company. His tremendous involvement in the teams and driving them towards success have enable the stock price for the company to perform which has saved the company from bankruptcy. Under his guidance Tesla has been able to attract cross border investments from several leading groups as well. Some of the best start-up entrepreneurs have been attracted and invested in the capital. His demonstration for the company vision has accomplished high levels of achievements for the company. His traits can be highlighted as; Charismatic or value based: Musk is a highly charismatic leader with integrative, visionary and inspirational nature(Dorfman, 2012). He had opted for several rounds of financing for the company and due to his firm believe that the company has high prospects, he invested his own funds into the business. He has also been continuously involved in building innovative venture and promoting newer models by showcasing them in international shows and media. Such role of his has made investors across the world as Toyota take interest in investing in the company. Team Oriented: Musk is wide known for his firing several employees of the company after he joined the organization as a CEO(Musk, 2014). He has firm believe in employees who drive innovation and would be instrumental in bringing changes for the company. His team orientation has enabled high visionary accomplishment for the company in the market for electric cars. Self-Protective: Musk has occupied the leading position in several rounds of financing for the company and opted for investing a lot of his self-funds into the company. Elon Musk withdraws a salary of $1 and his compensation depends on stockholding options and rewards in terms of company performance. Hence, this depicts the high confidence and self-protective nature of his personality(Motors, Tesla Roadster Technology and Innovations. , 2011). Participative: With constant team participation and leading innovation for incorporating change within the organizational framework Musk has devised a number of steps that add to innovative strategies. With Musks constant involvement he aimed at creating cars of low volume in the expensive segment. He intended to uses the money in designing medium volume cars at lower price. Then he aimed at investing those funds for high volume cars. The company under his leadership also aimed at providing solar power for the entire community through their innovative techniques(Mangram, 2012). Human Orientation : Musk has compassion for others in his aim to develop solar polar and make energy affordable to all. Solar power will be cheap source of energy that can light up homes and even used for industrial purposes. His primary aims to lead the change in designing and manufacturing of electric cars is to develop a sustainable future that can accommodate and sustain cars without fossil fuels. Thereby reducing pollution and carbon footprints, which will immensely impact the environment. Such visions have attracted many entrepreneurs and investors to make their investments in the company. Musk being an engineers and being in the innovative team himself, he is able to accomplish such strategic aims for he company. Autonomous: Musk have been immensely self-driven without any consultation from any other stockholder for the company(Burke, 2007). His visions to incorporate energy storage and his compassion to devise cars in the electric segment has been phenomenal in driving changes for the company. Musk is a great leader and his leadership frame can be best accommodated by GLOBE studies in the area of cultural leadership. Thus, his ability to encompass a variety of cultural framework and lead the company have become famous world over. Conclusion Tesla Motors had a corporate vision aimed at creating electric cars that was catered to and developed by Elon Musk. Elon Musk with his investments in the company enabled development and innovation in the company. His characteristics of Globe Leadership Dimensions based on CLT has gained immense success for the company. His visions has developed a dynamic organizational culture characterized by hard work and innovation. Through his various indulgent in designing of various cars the industry has experienced new and technologically advanced cars segment that can match up to future capabilities and challenges posed by globalization. The several leadership undertaken by Musk is not only beneficial to the company but also to a broader aspect of creating a sustainable future by reducing pollution and global warming impacts. This reason has attracted immense amounts of investment and attractiveness for the company such that it can thrive and benefit in the future. Reference List Beechler, S. . (2007).
