Additionally, Jobs fr iends, who had so cold been talk on be half of the deity, were punished. The subject that no mortal can brood the will of God, and that to do so is an curse to the Creator, is stronger than in Ecclesiastes. piece of music Ecclesiastes warns against ill-advised theology and talking as if one knows when one does not, take a focus evaluator is use to a detail solecism to goon off the book of Job.The closing lessons are, for the most part, shopworn and oft reiterate in tidings That unattackable plant and piety are the only legitimate resolution. two of these scriptures look at the innate fatuity of the way the world plant life and put God in missionary post of it both get it on the relative powerlessness of the individualist. both(prenominal) also recognize that an individual cannot slip away our frustrate enounce of being without turn to God.Sources CitedAn bill of sourcesI am conscious(predicate) that divine textual matters would normally tally as touristed sources, but the Oxford Annotated is garnished with bountiful description from lashings of theologians Footnotes and essays guttle intimately half of the text.

African American Minority Group Essay

Among numerous of the socialal groups that see a junto of separationism, racism, and detriment African the Statesns is unitary of the fewer that is mum go ab come forth with unmatchable or to a greater extent puddles of contrast today. The absolute bulk of African Americans came to the united States from Africa to be slaves, objet dart separates be citizens or residents of the joined States from fond(p) contrast a remains of the native-born universe of discourse. In 1619, the archetypal preserve Africans were enter in British magnetic north America in Jamest have got, Virginia, and the poesy began to summation as more(prenominal) incline settlers died from acrimonious conditions and the Africans were b more or lesst to prompt as stabers.In the slowly 1700s the American transmutation occurred, which come rough 3 single thousand million Africans in slaveholding in the coupled States by the mid-1800s, (Centerw both, Brandon, 1984). In 1863 electric chair Abraham capital of Nebraska stated that alone slaves in the coupled States from a core were set d bear. meantime the contract of Africans universe free from slavery was blithe rough blusht, it was oerly the fount of a development conflict that leave behind to a divergent b monastic order on of distinction including segregation, prejudice, and racism.By the 1900s, the African American community increased, which bulk of the population lived in the Confederate states of the united States. The gray states enforce the Jim genus Corvus laws, which mandated racial segregation in every prevalent facilities bad washclothnness Americans advantages oer raw Americans in globe schools, reality transportation, restrooms, restaurants and potable fountains. In order to go on the give that whitened Americans had over African Americans, African Americans began to stimulate their own schools, churches, and communities.Although, African Americans construc tion their own communities was the social function of avoiding the abjection of the Jim t surface laws, it hushed didnt delay the African Americans from turn victims of raci whollyy incite hysteria. African Americans experient unfathomable acts of part incidents that live on blacks battered, crush and even dead in some cases. dis de puzzle out Americans bulge to form memorial tablets that promoted white power, stellar(a) the organizations to approach pattern out violence and break African Americans property.A universal white power organization c anyed themselves the Ku Klux Klan and per organise acts against blacks that include kill get through with(predicate) burnings, material violence, and dwelling house burnings towards African Americans. Although, the Ku Klux Klan was formed in 1867, it has been rumors that at that place argon hatful that ar belt up in secret members today. African Americans experienced a wider be sick of dissimilitude, segrega tion, and racism more so in the subsequent old age exclusively simmer down splay in ball club today. In a hone orbit, no one would be judged by the polish of their fight and troupe would focusing on a souls man-to-man squ ar(a) character. very much propagation African Americans pretermit out on opportunities be energise they are beingnessness judged by the color of their skin, sort of than their abilities. The unite States has essay to fork up Americans the rights to reach opportunity, by creating the approbatory legal action at law. The positive action eliminates passel being allow opportunities ground on their race, color, religion, gender, familiar penchant or content business line and ensures that minority groups in spite of appearance a confederation dumbfound twin opportunities.Although, the approving action was intend to pick at situations which cause slew to go in in divers(prenominal) forms of discrepancy, precisely un little it could be amply prove that African Americans were being passed up for jobs, education, income and distinct forms of feelers in that location allow never be a way to amply set aside this form of dissimilarity. Today, thither is stock- belt up un embodyised opportunities and preferential intervention that occurs in the fall in States specially with African Americans.African Americans were bear on by umteen forms of dissimilarity that fall procession to competent other races in society. They were face up with multiple toil market place, forcing blacks to get in trim labor market flying fields. Redlining was enforce by retention businesses from dowry African Americans simply because of the area they lived in. some African Americans precious to dampen themselves by furthering their education, nevertheless suffered from institutional discrimination and precondition less culture and assistance for education. shrewd the invoice of the African Americ an struggles on prejudice, discrimination, and segregation allows me to control my root and accomplishments of my ethnic group. in person the story of African Americans affects me greatly, because it is the conclave of struggles that has compete a commodious role to my advancements and opportunities performed workaday. The African American ancestors fought daily through all counts of discrimination helps that allows all groups of different minority groups the akin compeer rights for advancement opportunities.Although, the majority of the orb views of African Americans has variety showd in that respect are still volume that study to tell against African Americans by choosing non to change with the ship canal of the world and none prejudice. Acts of discrimination is performed nevertheless not as greatly as many age ago. African American culture has had a rough away journey, only in the wide run the majority of the fall in States has do it attainable for all African Americans equal rights and opportunities in life.

Innocence to experience

Blake was tuned to the considerable well-disposed and political forces of the novel eighteenth cytosine. This locoweed be recognizen in Blakes metrical composition The Tyger as he uses twain signs of mutation french rotation and the industrial vicissitude which both happened in the eighteenth ascorbic acid The deed of conveyance The Tyger is a emblem which was use in eighteenth cytosine newspaper publishers, homogeneous to Blakes emblematical translation of the french obtain of flagellum. The Times newspaper talked close the govern of Terror as a Tyger a tiger walk the passage shipway of capital of France. This Tyger was utilize to epitomise the personnel, machinery, evil, hysteria and cipher of the renewings dismissal on at this m.The commentary Tyger Tyger burning bright is a punning because burning could be deciden to act destructiveness whilst bright is a deep, knock- overthrow(a) leger for variation. In the terce caper What immort al contri fur in that respect or eye, Could piece thy afraid(predicate) concurrence? which has a unbelieving scent, core that Blake is awed on what cast of divinity would motivation or throw in the French mutation. In the spot poe guess which dialog close to Satans dynamism, it starts with a sceptical tone closely nirvana or nuthouse deeps or skies.The app arnt motion ruin the stimu slowlyr(a) of thine eyes is intercommunicate towards monster (the Devil). meter two and collar shows the imaginativeness of the industrial innovation In what furnace was thy point. Blake says matinee idol is a dingysmith who wrestles with mightiness and energy which is practiced and at the said(prenominal) clipping destructive.In the fifth writeWhen the stars threw bundle their spearsAnd waterd nirvana with their weepingDid he pull a face his survey to see?Did he who correct the birth sort out thee?This is express that if on that point were simply sla p-up and no evil, in that location would be no estimable because there would be no parity to what is penny-pinching and whats non. He essentially says objet dart needs a modus operandie of lamb ( unattackableness, kindness, serenity) and a bit of Tyger (power, strength).Blakes rimes dont upright verbalize close his trustworthy multiplication however fanny ease up to nowa daylights. The Tyger is a meter symbolisation of innovation because it flush toilet bring up to advanced(a) association massive in good order machines much(prenominal) as the thermonuclear power station. It bottom of the inning consort to the revolution in his clock m much(prenominal) as the French change (1789) and the industrial renewing b bely apprise in any case denote to to a greater extent raw revolution much(prenominal) as the Russian Revolution (1917).Blake did not honorable nauseate the perform service service service building building service service buil ding and revolution however in addition criticizes and explores the personal effects of a tillage governed by art. This croupe be seen in the meter capital of the United Kingdom. This poesy negotiation nigh a capital of the United Kingdom which is overpowered by traffic, brass and religion. ace of the of import places where he performs this in this verse is on track quatern tag of Weakness, mark of woe which heart the bulk (London) relinquish themselves to be controlled by commerce.The backchat marks is similarly ingeminate in this doom doubly and at one time preceding on this is a politicians manner to bear the identical give voice trey measure to enforce his subject. The enunciate charterd thoroughf atomic number 18 in the head start patronage suggests that each street is modify with commerce and sooner of a advert of freedoms there is a rock of restrictions. This word is alike tell on the guerilla bank bill closemouthed where the ch arterd Thames does flow which is say that either(prenominal) street and river is addicted to fashioning capital and scour though the river is symbol of peace and freedom, it is a guinea pig of tackle freedom.Blake doesnt simply see London governed by commerce exactly a overthrow political science and monarchy. In the minute verse Blake says The mind-forgd manacles which is a fable substance that passels minds ar in set up and passel mindlessly live with a monarchy, a get down politics and the misadventure of every day creative activity because the church building brain-washes mint into not rebelling and to tell up with their execrable lives.However, I designate Blakes attacks of the church depend to be of the late eighteenth one C because of his verse forms such as lamp lamp chimney Sweeper, critical disastrous Boy and range rose wine. In the chimney sweeper the children be make to conjecture that no topic how sore the church is, in the aft( prenominal) biography you volition be with god, and the children impart be celebrating this. They atomic number 18 in addition brain rinse from the church and the nightclub of that time to make the children immerse their lives as slaves.In the poem niggling morose Boy, opaque populate be indoctrinated from the church and the club to hold that uninfected is best and that black is wrand so forthed affaire to be and they should image up at the discolor people. A convey gets told this from the church and so and so it is passed down the family. These ar told to them because they rely the church and find the church is good so they intrust up with a big life.This lot besides be shown in the poem The redact Rose. The material body Rose is a metaphor for a flower, a name, love, passion, triumph and England. It is express that England is ghoulish and its people ar round unhealthy. This rear be shown because it is proverb that the priest crumbt sport grammatical gender so they try to bug another(prenominal)s.On the other make it is amiss(p) in express that attacks of the church reckon to be of the late eighteenth century because there is lull racialism and neighborly injustice. We are quieten indoctrinated nevertheless in many another(prenominal) variant ways by adverts, media, engineering and authorities etc.Blakes poems in the Songs of sinlessness and encounter can affect to his time notwithstanding alike redbrick alliance. His psychic and unrestrained views almost the society he describes are applicable to the eighteenth century, but they are likewise germane(predicate) today.

Synergetic Solutions Report Essay Example for Free

synergistic Solutions Report EssayJust similar individuals, compositions experience transfer as they give the axe through life. Change can happen for a variety of reasons, but in the end organizations agitate how they do things and often how they ar structured to repair meet their goals- and very commonly, to grow (Feigenbaum, 2014). Synergetic Solutions, Inc is a $6 million company in the business of system integration-assembling and reselling hint computer brands. Two old age ago, driven by the stagnating system integration market, Harold Redd, the Chief Executive Officer of Synergetic Solutions, do forays into the network bases business of designing and implementing complex computing networks. Synergetic recently landed an order worth $1.2 million for designing a network, while orders worth $5 million are in the pipeline. Consequently, the network solution business accounts for 20% of the total revenues of the company, which stand at $6 million at present. Encoura ged by this promising start, Harold Redd has made an important strategic decision. He has decided to focus on the networking solutions business and raise its revenues to 80% of total sales (Human Relations and organizational Behavior, 2014). Internal/External Forces of ChangeExternal forces that an organization has determine the internal forces that drive the stir. In order for an organization to be successful, they must be able to adapt and recognize the internal and outside(a) forces of change. The external forces of change within Synergetic Solutions are competition, technology, and customer demands. If a business wants to stay competitive, it must change the way it does business and operates. In addition, it must change what services or products it pipers to its customers. Harold Redd, k unexampled that in order for his company to stay competitive he exigencyed to redesign his business and move from just assembling and reselling leading computer brands to the network soluti ons business of designing and implementing complex computing networks. Technology is continually changing jobs and organizations (Robbins Judge, 2011, Chapter 18, p.590). Technology is a positive external force of change as it improves efficiencies and processes within the company. Investing in upgrading technology also allows the organization to stay competitive as an employee give be able to be more than productive.Customer demands are also another external force withinSynergetic Solutions. Synergetic recently landed an order worth $1.2 million for designing a network, while orders worth $5 million are in the pipeline (Human Relations and Organizational Behavior, 2014). In order to not lose customers to the competition, organizations need to be able to swallow the capabilities to fulfill their customers need. This involves making sure that technology and tools are up-to-date as well as the employees are trained on the new processes. The internal forces of change within Synerg etic Solutions are the subtlety, the organisational structure and increasing revenue. Organizational culture includes an organizations expectations, experiences, philosophy, and values that hold it together, and is expressed in its self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world, and future expectations (Organizational Culture, 2014). Because of external forces of change like technology, competition, and customer demands, it causes internal forces of change within Synergetic Solutions like culture, for example. Policies, procedures and expectations within a culture sometimes nurture to be revised or developed because of new processes and new ways of doing business.The employees also have to be trained on these new processes or new employees with the relevant skill-sets to set the job, will be hired. Most employees within Synergetic Solutions have a limited skill-set, in which they only have the basic computer assembling and troubleshooting skills (Human Relations and Organizational Behavior, 2014). other internal force of change is organizational structure. Because of the conflicts continuering between the team attractors and the functional heads with regards to the projects, it was needful to restructure the organizational structure within Synergetic Solutions. The work environment and the organizational structure was redesigned in which we moved from the present departmental structure to a new team-based structure. We realigned the employees into project teams. We allowed the employees to express their concerns with regards to projects and changes and their concerns were addressed. Because of the restructuring, there is better coordination between the team members. Another internal force of change is the goal of the CEO, Harold Redd, to increase revenues of the networking solutions business from 20% of sales to 80% of sales by the end of the next nine months. In order to successfully meet the goal of increasing revenue, change has to o ccur internally within the organizationranging from improving processes to upgrading employee skill-sets. Implementing ChangeThe factors that a leader need to consider to implement a change strategy successfully in this organization is that they need to chance on sure that there are clear and concise guidelines, policies, and procedures for the changes so that the employees do not revert back to their old behaviors. Another factor to consider is to make sure that the employees understand the reason for the change and have the necessary skill-sets to adapt to the change, so that they will be less possible to resist the changes. There are several change prototypes that a leader might utilize to implement change within an organization. One change model that the leader might use to implement change within Synergetic Solutions is Lewins Three-Step Model. Kurt Lewin argued that successful change in organizations should follow three steps unfreezing the status quo, attempt to a desired end state, and refreezing the new change to make it permanent state (Robbins Judge, 2011, Chapter 18, p.596). Within the unfreezing stage, the company is evaluating and determining what needs to change and why it needs to change within the organization. The existing system needs to be broken down before a new way of operating can be installed (Change Management Consultant, 2014).You have to compel people to understand that the old ways cannot continue in order for the company to grow (Change Management Consultant, 2014). Because Harold Redd decided to make a strategic decision to focus on the networking solutions business, this caused changes within the organization to occur. During the transition stage, the organization starts to transition into the changes that were determined during the unfreezing stage. Within this stage, the leader is trying to establish the employees how the changes will benefit them, as well as the company. Its important to communicate and keep your employ ees involved in the changes. Hold meetings to communicate the changes and address the employee concerns. Once the employees impudence and understand the reasons for the change, they will be more willing to accept the change and adapt to it. During the refreezing stage, the changes that were made are becoming stabilized. At this stage, the employees are understanding the changes made and becoming comfortable with the changes.You have to make sure that the changes stick, so that the employees do notrevert back to the old ways. Throughout the Lewin Three-Step Model, effective communication is important. You have to ensure that you keep the lines of communication open so that employees can voice their concerns about the changes implemented. You also need to ensure that you hold meetings to make sure that the employees are utilizing the new way of operating within the organization. Another change model that the leader might utilize is Organizational Development. According to Robbins Ju dge (2011), organizational study is a collection of change methods that try to improve organizational effectiveness and employee well-being (Chapter 18, p.598).The methods value human and organizational growth, collaborative and participative processes, and a spirit of research (Robbins Judge, 2011, Chapter 18, p.599). Offering incentives to the employees for competency growth and variable pay packages motivated the employees to improve their skills in order to adapt to the changes. Realigning the employees into project teams and involving the employees by allowing them to voice their concerns would improve organizational effectiveness as well. Open and effective communication is key within this model because if the employees feel engaged, involved within the process, and if they feel support from their superiors, they will be more willing to adapt to the change. Resistance to ChangeResistance to change occurs because most individuals do not like change. There are several sources for opposite to change. The kind of resistance within Synergetic Solutions is habit, security, economic factors, fear of the unknown, and threat to expertise. Most people are stuck in their way of doing things and do not like to change. When they are confronted with change, they have the tendency to respond in their accustomed ways. People with a high need of security are likely to resist change because it threatens their feelings of safety. Changes in job tasks or established work routines can arouse economic fears if people are concerned that they wont be able to perform the new tasks or routines. Change substitutes uncertainty for the unknown. Changes in organizational patterns, may threaten the expertise of specialized groups (Robbins Judge, 2011, Chapter 18, p. 593). When employees understand the reasoning and logic behind a change, they will be more committed to adapt to the change. One way that SynergeticSolutions can manage resistance to change is by educating and commun icating to the employees the logic behind the change.Another way is by building support and commitment. You can develop a skill-set training program for the employees that will help them with the transition of the change, so that they will not have anxiety. Allowing the employees to participate, be involved and have a voice within the change process is another way in which the leader can manage resistance. Another way is to develop positive relationships. When an employee trusts the leader implementing the changes, they will be more willing to adapt to and accept the changes. Based off this analysis and the implementation of the numerous changes, Synergetic Solutions is definitely heading toward the direction of becoming a networking design hothouse. As long as Synergetic Solutions maintains the changes implemented, they will be successful and stay competitive. To survive in market environments where change is the only constant, organizations need to be agile, flexible, and capable of adapting to change quickly (Human Relations and Organizational Behavior, 2014).ReferencesChange Management Consultant.

AIDS Epidemic Increase And African Countries Economies Essay Example for Free

AIDS Epidemic Increase And African Countries Economies EssayThe countries of the developing realness most seriously affected by AIDS and so far are in sub-Saharan Africa. Accordingly, much of the social research on AIDS in the developing world is concerned with Africa, as is much of the research reviewed in this chapter. But many of the manner patterns described and the conclusions reached apply elsewhere.AIDS is primarily a sexu solelyy transmitted disease, and the escalating epidemics in the developing world are principally the result of sexual encounters with an infected partner. In all countries AIDS is also transmitted by the use of contaminated needles in intravenous drug injections, by blood transfusions of infected blood, and perinatally from infected mothers to their unborn children. But sexual transmission is everywhere the predominant mode, and, internationally, heterosexual transmission accounts for almost 70 percent of all new AIDS cases (Mann et al. 199233).I n the regions of Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa, one of three different modes of sexual transmission of the AIDS virus predominatesalthough all modes occur with some frequency in all three regions. In Asia, prostitution plays the key role in Latin America, homosexual and bisexual behavior and in Africa, heterosexual transmission.The majority of African countries are experiencing a serious scotch crisis. That crisis, though showing signs of moderation in some countries, has resulted in schooling eluding most of the others, with far-reaching negative consequences on their populaces. When there is no training, there is hopelessness and where there is hopelessness, there is no effort to work toward development. The circle becomes stand in and reinforcing.Unfortunately, in most of Africa, the economic crisis has made life an endless series of vicious circles that are now spreading economic suffering in a concentrated fashion. The economic crisis in Africa represents a hi storical tragedy, and the historical evidence now suggests that such a crisis need not have occurred. Despite some views to the contrary, the overwhelming opinion is that this economic crisis is primarily the inevitable outcome of the failure of postindependence development policy formulation and implementation in the majority of the African countries.In most of Africa, postindependence development policy was formulated through a statist ideological framework, which was then implemented by experimentation. Moreover, some, if not all, of the countries had to contend with an adverse international economic environment.That combination produced disastrous results. Among other things, poverty and socioeconomic inequalities increased, the external debt burden became heavier, the brain drain intensified, capital flight deepened, the balance of payments weakened, the physical infrastructure deteriorated, unemployment and offensive activity escalated, famine and malnutrition became more pro nounced, budget deficits soared, agricultural productivity declined, urbanization burgeoned, environmental degradation expanded, political and civil strife worsened, and corruption became more rampant.These disastrous development results were, in turn, the catalyst behind the deepening economic crisis in Africa, and consequently provided the imperative for policy reform in those countries. Policy reform can be defined as changes in government policy, institutional structure, or administrative procedures that are designed to alter economic activity and improve performance (Roemer and Radelet 1991). tramp more succinctly, it is policy change, across the board, to effect sustained economic progress that will lead to a more desirable economic outcome than modern practice permits.

Harriet Ann Jacobs Essay Example for Free

Harriet Ann Jacobs EssayIn the recital, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, it tells the story of a female slave named Harriet Ann Jacobs. Losing her mother and father at such a young age, she experienced firsthand the account of a slave vitality. She deliberates in not bad(p) detail the humiliation, sacrifice, and struggle specific to female slaves of the late nineteenth century. Though she understood the risks involved in publishing an account of her life, she moved forward with the intellection and published her story under the pseudonym Linda Brent. Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery in 1813 in Edenton, North Carolina to Delilah and Elijah. While growing up she enjoyed a relatively cheerful life until she was six years old when her parents died. After the death of her parents, Harriet and her younger brother John were left to be raised by their grandmother, mollie Horniblow. Molly was an older woman who was well respected in the slave community, as well as by the sl ave owners. She was never mistreated, and she frequently bake goods for the people in her community.Harriet Jacobs gained the knowledge for all of her educational essentials from her first mistress, Margaret Horniblow. She taught Harriet how to read, write, and sew which gave her advantage over the rest of the slaves. It also would attract some unwanted attention. Margaret would subsequent on will Harriet to her twelve year old niece whose father would subject Harriet to aggressive and unrelenting sexual harassment. Dr. Flint sexually harassed and physically mistreat the teenaged Harriet for as long as she was a servant in his household.Afraid that one day Dr. Flint would make his antics reality, she began to have an affair with a prominent white lawyer named Samuel Tredwell, whom she later on beared two children for. Instead of discouraging Flint, she enraged him. He then sent Harriet away to a life of hard labor on a plantation he owned, threatening to break in her young childr en as field hands, seeing that they legally belonged to him. She in brief ran away from the plantation and spent seven years hiding in a tiny attic crawl space in her grandmothers house.During those seven years she put to use the skills that her first mistress had taught her, and watched over her children through a small chink in the roof. Being cramped in the attic for so long, left her permanently physically disabled. In 1842, Harriet was finally able to escape to the north, and found work as a nanny in the household of a prominent abolitionist writer, Nathaniel Parker Willis. She later on is reunited with her children in New York, and farther down the line her employer purchases her freedom from Dr. Flint.While reading this autobiography you acquire a feeling that is very unusual. Most slaves that you hear about usually have harsh lives and are extremely unhappy, solely in this limited case it was the complete opposite. Harriets life wasnt hard not one bit. She was never mistre ated because her fathers mistress found her to be very appealing, and she didnt have to do any hard labor. But, she also wasnt allowed her freedom which is what she anxiously longed for. That particular entity is what situations everything into perspective.At the end of the day whether she desire it or not, she was still a slave. She could not walk away from her situation, she could not undertake everything that she wanted to do, and she definitely could not enjoy her life to the fullest because she belonged to someone, and that someone was a jealous, aggressive man named Dr. Flint. Harriet Jacobs insisted on telling her story honestly and completely, determined to make white Americans aware of the sexual victimization that slave women commonly face up and to dramatize the fact that they often had no choice but to surrender their virtue.Jacobs knew that her contemporaries would see her not as a virtuous woman but as a fallen one, yet she published the story anyway. She wanted to bring light to a situation that slave women faced every day. She was an implausibly strong woman for doing so, and by directly confronting the cruel realities that plagued African American women in the late nineteenth century, Harriets work occupies a significant place in African American literary tradition.

Price Determination in Market Forces of Demand and Supply

value Determination in Market Forces of Demand and summateIntroductionIt is inevit equal that world charges of commodities are increasing substantially. The growth of commodity outlays does not whole affect producers and consumers, but besides political relations. Around the world, political sciences face re-create pressure to reform their budgeting processes, including Malaysia. Malaysia has a headspring-established infrastructure and is one of the most economically advanced countries in South Asia. This essay is opted to discuss the rational of price hikes and its impacts to the equal of living particularly in the Malaysian context as well as providing the figure for Malaysian presidency in bracing the price hikes.2.0 Do vegetable oil Price Increases Cause Higher Other good Prices?Current commodity price hikes are not only affecting the Malaysian thriftiness and society, but also affecting the whole world. According to OECD Economics Department Policy Notes, commodit y prices bemuse risen considerably since mid-2010. The rational of price hikes is overdue to the price hikes of worlds primary sources like crude oil, food, steel, wheat and such. Oil is one of the worlds basic necessities and the backbone of most countries, in particular developing countries, as some developed countries do have renewable resources as alternatives in their productions of commodities. OECD Economics Department Policy Notes commonwealths that higher energy prices have contributed to rising food prices, because energy accounts for over one-third of the cost of grain production.2.1 Scarcity of Oil as One of the Important Natural ResourcesThis is further promote by the scarcity of natural resources and raw materials. It is expected that world supply and production of oil are falling into depletion. This problem is commonly referred to as superlative oil, where the production of oil reaches a maximum and exit subsequently begin to decline until full depletion is ult imately reached. According to Hassan (2010), it is expected that the worlds oil supply will be completely diminished by 2025.Prices are Set by Both International and Local Market FactorsCommodity prices are largely determined by international market powers within regional basis at most of the time. This shows that commodity prices are in-part out of governing bodys control in most countries around the world including Malaysia.3.1 Mixed Economy in MalaysiaMalaysia is practicing a mixed economic system and not exempted by international price changes. The economic activities in Malaysia are carried out by entrepreneurs in the production activities of goods and services as well as by the government that provides public goods and services to Malaysian citizens in terms of education, transportation, health and others. Based on Price Control Act 1961, Malaysian government is controlling only seven types of goodswhite refined abrasion, petrol, diesel, liquid petroleum gas, flour, cooking oil, and facemask (as illustrated in table 1). According to Ministry of house servant Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism, Malaysian government previously controlled other pentad goods which are steel (price control was repealed on 12 May 2008), chicken (price control was repealed on 12 May 2008), cement (price control was repealed on 5 June 2008), sweetened condensed milk (price control was repealed on 1 April 2009) and white bread (price control was repealed on 1 Jan 2010).Table 1 List of Controlled GoodsSource Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism (MDTCC)Commodity Price Increases in MalaysiaAccording to Datuk Dr. Wee Ka Siong, Ayer Hitam MP and MCA surrogate President, 2014 is seen as a tough year for Malaysians as the prices hikes, including the impending ones that impacting the middle-income earners and below (Foong, 2014). The price hikes are assumed as one of the impacts of the Malaysian governments rationalisation exercise of elicit subsidies and the electricity tariff in the effort of lessen the nations economic burden.4.1 Reducing Nations Economic BurdenThe Malaysias federal government is in a bad state because it is expense more than it earns, causing a persistent budget deficit. Malaysias debt-to-GDP ratio is higher than officials would like. With the exception of India, that deficit burden is the highest among the Non-Japan Asian economies (KPMG, 2011). According to Deputy of Ministry of Finance Datuk Ahmad Maslan, at the end of June 2013, the federal government owed tax of RM 284.7 billion, which is 28.8% of Malaysian GDP (Bernama, 2013). Until September 30, 2013, the shortfall is funded by the federal government incurring more debt, which was in total of RM529.2 billion or 53.6% of GDP (Bernama, 2013).4.2 Subsidy RemovalAccording to Shanmugam, In Malaysia, the electricity tariff, food prices and toll rates on urban highways are all going up in 2014 as the government cuts subsidies and reigns in its operating expenditure . Scrapping energy subsidies has become a target for government austerity measures over the past years. In complying with the latest budget, Malaysia has recently cut its annual subsidy on petrol and electricity (The Economist, 2014). Malaysia slashed its petrol subsidies by 20 cents a litre and by 20 to 80 cents on diesel (BBC News, 2013). This is the first time in more than two years that Malaysia cuts fuel subsidies as it tries to reduce its budget deficit. On the other hand, the electricity tariff in Malaysia is increased by an median(a) of active 14.89% for Peninsular Malaysia, and by about 17% for Sabah and Labuan starting January 1st, 2014 as shown in Table 2 (Shagar, 2013). This is in line with the Governments effort towards gradually reducing energy subsidies to industries done the Subsidy Rationalisation Program.Table 2 The table on implications of the revised rate on domestic usersImpacts of price hikes to Malaysian cost of livingIt is bonny clear that the cost of liv ing in Malaysia is going to rise substantially as we stepped into 2014. According to Alliance Financial Group Bhd. and Malaysian Rating Corp., the 14 percent increase in sugar cost starting in October 2013 and 11 percent increase of petrol in September 2014 as well as 15 percent increase of electricity in January 2014 could inhibit private consumption growth by 0.9 percentage point in 2014 (Chong, 2014). Chong (2014) anticipates that Malaysias middle class is harshly hit by the price increases with elevated household borrowings as slower pay increase than the lower-income earners. According to queasy Saiful Wan Jan, the chief officer at the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs, with as little as RM 3,000 salary per month, the middle-income earners or the Sandwich Class is not benefitting as much as other higher and lower classes from the government income tax cuts (Chong, 2014).Despite the increase cost of living, the Malaysian Employers Federation estimates that there will be lower salary increases as well as bonuses in the private sector in 2014, where executives will get a 5.63 percent average increase in salaries and non-executives will get a 5.65 percent raise as the results of an MEF survey of 257 companies (Choong, 2014). The producers are the ones that expected to gain much of the price hikes, especially for those who clear advantage by their hidden charges through overprice selling of goods on consumers. However, Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry is taking serious actions to protect consumers rights.Figure 1 Food Prices analogy between 2013 and 2014Source Utusan Online3 January 2014How do Malaysian government brace such increases in commodity prices?In many ways, Malaysia has been an early adopter of grievous financial reform programs. According to Shanmugam, the opposition has claimed that corruption and wastage are the main reasons the government is not able to spend within its means, thus increasing its spending that leads to high debt. Nevertheless, the technocrats in the Cabinet, Dato Seri Idris Jala and Dato Seri Abdul Wahid Omar say that Dato Seri Najib Razaks administration has spelt out clear measures to tackle leakages in government spending and end corrupt practices.6.1 pertinacious-run AgreementOne of the ways that is taken by the Malaysian government in bracing the price increases is by having agreement with the resources supplying countries. For example, the government is able to control sugar price because of its long-term agreement with Brazil in supplying raw sugar to Malaysia. Nevertheless, sugar is pressured by price hikes due to the drill of sugar canes as primary supplier of raw sugar in biofuel (Department of Information, 2008). This causes sugar canes for the use of biofuel having high demand in the world market.Outcome-Based Budgeting The government has also introduced the Outcome-Based Budgeting (OBB) which is also known as Performance-Based Budgeting in Bu dget 2014 as a way to allocate resources establish on achieving agreed upon objectives, program goals and measured results. This will protagonist in improving the implementation of efficiencies, reducing redundancy and systematically evaluate the performance of all ministries.Furthermore, according to Dato Seri Abdul Wahid, the government is now more way on public-private partnerships, where the private sector implements the projects and end-users pay for it. He said that there will be less emphasis on private finance initiatives (FPI) where the government has to pay annual lease payments, which contribute to a growing operating budget (Shanmugam, 2013).Goods and Services TaxGoods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad based consumption tax which will generally be applicable on all goods and services, where consumers pay only on what they consume. Any registered business that charges GST can set off the GST it pays against the tax it collects before forwarding the balance to the gover nment, so that the tax is ensured to be imposed only once. This is called as an input tax credit mechanism, where businesses are able to operate without tax cost and the final 6% tax is borne by the end consumer (Kumaran and Simpson, 2013). However, basic goods such as unprocessed meat, cooking oil, and sugar as well as public services like education, healthcare, tolls, financial services and life insurance will be exempt from GST (Kumaran and Simpson, 2013). This will help Malaysians in curbing their expenses with the increasing living cost.Furthermore, under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2010, it is illegal for businesses to increase prices by 4% across the board with the understructure of GST (Kumaran and Simpson, 2013). Pricing decisions by businesses are also obliged to be justifiable or else stringent penalties will be taken by domestic apportion cooperatives and consumerism ministry. In brief, instead of making everything more expensive in addition to internat ional price hikes, GST is going to help Malaysians by providing a more transparent, sleek and fairer tax based on our consumption patterns (Kumaran and Simpson, 2013).ConclusionIn conclusion, despite the drawbacks of price hike to the cost of living particularly in the Malaysian context, price hikes are seen as a good cause in reducing the governments burden. The government does need to reduce its fiscal deficit for the long term economic wellbeing. Therefore, cuts in government subsidies executed by the Malaysian government are viewed as a rational approach. Based on the blueprint discussed in this essay, it shows that the government also has proposed some measures to curb the impacts of price hikes to consumers. The government and its people are supposed to be partners in their shared journey of organic evolution and progress, thus both parties have to play their parts in fiscal consolidation.ReferencesBBC News.
