To increase the growth of the new outlet, Pizza Hut recently set up a new market research on the outskirts of Baroda with the investment of __ Basically, Pizza Hut firms in India send Managers to spread proper awareness about their new outlet among the customers through different types of advertising and keep the customers informed about their advancements in current outlets 10. Commercially, I expect that the opening of the new branch will lead to an increase in sales in Baroda, Gujarat, and could increase the market share of Pizza Hut. For this reason, they want to be able to successfully market their new firm when it is commercially launched. As previously mentioned, to increase its growth and successfully market their upcoming outlet, Pizza Hut has been reviewing various promotion strategies like price reduction, to increase the price in their marketing budget and increase in number of staffs 11. So increasing the production by opening the new outlet and to increase the number of staff to work in both of the outlets is a strategy that Pizza Hut is strongly considering in order to increase their growth in the domestic market 12. 8.

Personal interview THEORETICAL FRAME WORK The Growth of a business can be measured in many different ways such as assets, sales revenue, operating profit, market share, value added, and number of employees 13. As information of pizzas is involved, Pizza Hut believes that what they bring new in the market is not compared with any of the products of any another firm which is selling pizza’s14. I commercially expect that the opening of the new firm will lead to increase in sales in Baroda, Gujarat, and could increase the market share of Pizza Hut. Due to this, they want to be able to successfully market their new firm when it is commercially launched. Pizza Hut aims to convince the customers to set down their new business, (target market) 15. The other promotional method used by Pizza Hut and to spread the awareness about their new outlet is to do market research. I did the market research for Pizza Hut so that they can locate their new outlet where there are more potential consumers. High income group was also asked about the opening of a new outlet, before it is brought up in the market. Pizza Hut believes that the methods used to research on opening a new outlet take hold of the attention of the customers for long time, so that they can visit the outlet frequently16. For reasons mentioned above, growth is widely regarded as the most favorable method to increase the profit level. 12. http://www. tutor2u.net/business/presentations/strategy/businessgrowth/default. html 13.

The primary data contains the interview of the Manager of the Pizza Hut outlet which already exists, the opinion of the customers who visit the exiting outlet and a few other people. Market research: This will contain the content of the market research and what it entails. This was conducted by me.

MARKET RESEARCH Market research is the collection, collation and analysis of the data relating to the marketing and consumption of the goods and the services18. Market research helps in opening the new outlet, tells us were we stand in the market and how we can improve.

This is due to one outlet of Pizza Hut not providing delivery services to distant areas21. So if it is in that area then many people can visit the outlet and this will give more profit to Pizza Hut. As people from Fathegunj, Sayajigunj, city area and Karelibaug can visit as it will be nearer to them 22. 17. market research done by interviewing different people 18. business studies book by Dave hall pg 147 19. interviewing different age group of people 20.

The swot analyses will illustrates how the external opportunities and the threats can be matched with the Pizza Hut’s internal strength and weaknesses to result in a set of possible strategic alternative. This would identify Pizza Hut’s distinctive competencies and the opportunities that the Pizza Hut is not currently taking a due to lack of appropriate resources swot means : S-strength W-weaknesses O- Opportunities T-threats Strength(S): these are the things which I observed, Pizza Hut and their staff do and which is the strength for them: They are well known for their pizzas 26. They provide good quality, taste and quick service 27. Their good service; grooming, cleanliness, and good interaction with the customers make customers want to visit them again 28. Due to their good taste and grooming, the other domestic pizza outlets try to compete and learn from Pizza Hut 29. Reputed brand, market excepted very easily, Due to the above, Pizza Hut makes good profit30. Pizza Hut has the ability to provide it’s customers with deals, offers and specials so that they can save money and get more value. This is a strength for the organization as it makes customers purchase more while receiving more value for their money. Customers use these vouchers and specials when ordering in bulk or for everyday orders. Weaknesses (W): these are the things which I observed and Pizza Hut does poorly and in which they can be affected are: During the weekends, Pizza Hut is full of customers, during that time the service is poor 31. There is little to no place for the people to sit who are waiting to be seated32. Availability of other multinational outlets like Mac Donald and Dominos will be the competitors of Pizza Hut too. 33 Opportunities (O): the directions which the business could take in future like: By opening a new outlet there will be an opportunity for growth of the business and development for employees34. If a person was previously employed by Pizza Hut and has passed the Pizza Hut course with the appropriate certificate, then they are able to receive double their salary35. Pizza Hut is a branded and a multi-national chain, therefore it allows staff salaries to be double that which is offered to other staff in other company’s36. Threats (T): the threats to a business arise from the activity of the competitors and failing to take opportunities like: Pizza Inn is the domestic pizza outlet in Baroda; both of them are doing very good profit-wise therefore Pizza Inn is a threat for Pizza Hut37. Pizza Inn is a well-known organization to the Baroda community as it also provides good quality and taste and this is a threat to Pizza Hut as this is one of Pizza Hut’s strengths. 25. business studies book by Dave hall pg 38 26. http://www. tutor2u. net/business/strategy/SWOT_analysis. htm 27.

Personal interview THE ANSOFFS MATRIX The ansoff matrix: The Ansoff Growth matrix is a tool that helps businesses decide their product and market growth strategy38. Ansoff’s matrix will allow the firm to consider the alternatives open to it for entering a new market or entering new product into the market39. Product | |Existing |New | |Existing |Market penetration |Product development | |New |Market development |diversification | Market Market penetration: market penetration is used to achieve the growth in the existing market with the existing product40. Market penetration uses the marketing mix to push the product which is gaining as much as market share and as quickly as possible41. Market penetration seeks to achieve four main objectives: Increase usage by existing customers, maintain or increase the market share of current products42. Pizza Hut is the branded outlet so that people use the substitute outlet less (Pizza Inn, u s pizza, Uncle Sam’s Pizza, and Dominos). Pizza Hut encourages customers to use their outlet more regularly by providing new taste to the customers43. Product development: this is concerned with marketing new or modified products in the market for the customers 44 like: Normal pizzas intend to act as a replacement for the new product which will be introduced45. Market development: this involves the marketing of the existing product in the new market such as: As Pizza Hut has one outlet already in the market, they will open a new outlet in Baroda but in a different area. They will introduce some new products when they open their new outlet. However, they will need to continue the marketing of their old and classic products along with the new products46. Diversification: this will occur when the product is developed for the new market. Diversification allows a business to move away from the trust upon the present market and product47. 38http://www. tutor2u. net/business/strategy/ansoff_matrix.htm 39oxford study course book by jo toy pg 32 39. http://www. tutor2u. net/business/strategy/ansoff_matrix. htm 40. business studies book by Dave hall pg 239 41. oxford study course book by jo toy pg 32 42. http://www. tutor2u. net/business/strategy/ansoff_matrix. htm 43.

Personal interview 46. business studies book by Dave hall pg 239 PEST –G ANALYSIS Pest g: this will look at the external environment and the global factors that may or will affect a business. It can provide a quick and visual representation. It is usually divided into five external influences on a business-political, economic, social, and technological and green46. Political: this is concerned with how political developments, regionally, nationally and internationally might affect a business’s strategy47. Political development is not so relevant in this instance as Pizza Hut has an existing established branch which is not affected by this external factor, the political issues are not so important because they do have the outlet in India and Baroda. For opening the new outlet government factors are not important as it already has opened one outlet48. Economic: this might include the analysis of a variety of economic factors and their effect on business they include: consumer activity, economic variable, government policy, the effect of change in product and labor markets49. Pizza Hut’s outlet which is Baroda, Gujarat – has competitors in Baroda, Gujarat50 however, these are not Pizza Hut branches – they are other competitors such as Dominos and Pizza Inn. These have an economic external influence as it affects the consumer activity as customers may prefer to go to Dominos if there is better service, quality and price offered. The new place suggested trough market research, there mainly the people with their families and above 30 will visit. It is not that the youth’s wont visit but there are less youth’s in that area compare to the area where the current Pizza Hut is located. Social: how is Pizza Hut affected socially? It is not likely that Pizza Hut will be affected socially as each age group visit’s Pizza Hut51. Due to the location of the old Pizza Hut site (located near commercial places) it attracts a lot variety of consumers. The new site will be located in a suburb where there are families therefore the market will be families. When a whole family eats a meal at Pizza Hut, they tend to splurge on extras such as drinks and sides. This is positive for the organization in terms of profit. However, in Karelibaug, families won’t come daily or once a week to have pizza’s so it can be affected socially. Generally in the new outlet older segment people will visite. Technological: Businesses operate in a world of rapid technological change. The organization needs to regularly review the impact of new technologies upon their activities. The product can become old-fashioned quickly. The production method can become out of date52. Pizza Hut looks that how they are different from other firms such as Pizza Inn, Domino’s pizza, us pizza and many other domestic outlets for pizza’s. Even Mac Donald’s is a competitor. One technological factor which could effect the environment is how Pizza Hut creates its products such as the production line in which a pizza is made. 47. business studies book by Dave hall pg 38 48. business studies book by Dave hall pg 38 49.

There are two types of cost associated with hiring new place. They are fixed cost and variable cost. Both these cot will be identified to check the financial growth of the undergoing new outlet. Both are classified as below: Fixed cost Hiring charges foe the new place Salary of the staff Minimum hiring charges of telephone. Variable cost Production cost Office usage Approximately amount of profit for the new outlet May by through which you will be able to fine out pbit (profit before interest and tax), pbt (profit before tax), pat (profit after tax). | | |Per month |Per annum | |Sales | |1350 |16200 | |- variable | |60 |720 | | |contribution |1290 |15480 | |- fixed cost | |45 |540 | | |PBIT |1245 |14940 | |- interest | |78 |940 | | |PBT |1167 |14000 | |- tax | |350 |4200 | | |PAT |817 |9800 | 55 From the above assumption we can conclude that profit on pbit is approximately equals to 65. 60% |1260 |720 | |100 |? | |= 57. 14 | This is the variable cost |1260 |540 | |100 |? | |= 42. 58 | And this is the fixed cost. Variable cost of new outlet is higher than its fixed cost about 14. 12. Contribution of new outlet is about 96% which can be calculated by following formula: |Sales |contribution | |16200 |15480 | |100 |? | |= 96 | 56 Variable cost depends upon number of units of new outlet but the fixed cost is fixed. Cost may also be defined in different class For example: production cost office cost selling and distribution cost We can include raw material cost for the pizza’s and service cost for the pizzas. In production cost all the administration expense and legal and professional charges in office expense. We can bifurcate the transportation of the delivery man and advertisement expenses as selling and distribution charges. Selling and distribution charges can depend on number of unit sold and cost up till cost of goods sold always depends on goods sold57. 55. (Manager of Pizza Hut). Personal interview 56.

Personal interview INVESTMENT APPRAISAL Investment appraisal is the evaluation of an investment project to determine whether or not it is likely to be worthwhile. It is essential to appraise the investment Pizza Hut will undertake and to establish weather it is going to be beneficial. Below are the techniques, which will assist appraising the investment: †¢ Pay back period and †¢ Net present value Pay back period This technique assesses the number of years it will take foe the Pizza Hut to recover all their initial costs. This is a very simple tool as it ignores most of the costs the firm would incur due to opening a new outlet. The cash flow is also an approximate estimate when there are too many variable then Pizza Hut cannot control. They assume that they have more customers and 10% more profit throughout the year than what they had the previous year. There were a few assumptions made for the cash flow. These were that the machine they used to make pizza’s worked at 100% capacity and all products were sold. |Pay back period for the new outlet | |Year |Net cash flow | |0 |-10,00,000 | |1 |2,00,000 | |2 |6,00,000 | |3 |3,00,000 | |3,00,000 |12 months | |2,00,000 |? | |= 8 months | You can get 2,00,000 in 8 months so our net pay back period for investing RS 10,00,000 in new outlet is 2 years and 8 months. Analysis of pay back period. The pay back technique has shown us that it takes 2 years and 8 months to pay back for the new outlet. However, we learn form the market research and swot analysis that there are mainly people above 35 hence it would be smarter from them to do some thing which might attract the youth from other areas and influence them to visit that outlet too. Net present value Net present value incorporates the principle of time value of money by converting payments at different times to the equivalent values at the common reference time. The discount factor used is 4% as the interest they could have got from the bank currently is 4%. I then did NVP. |Year |Net cash flow |Discount factor 4$ |Present value | |0 |-10,00,000 |1 |10,00,000 | |1 |2,00,000 |0. 9615 |1,92,300 | |2 |6,00,000 |0. 9246 |5,54,760 | |3 |3,00,000 |0. 8890 |2,66,700 | Analysis of net present value The new outlet will generate ____ amount after 5 years. ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES To effectively deal with the increase in the growth by expansion, it is necessary for there to be some internal changes. It is very necessary that the staff’s grooming should be done properly, so that they can serve the customers in a professional manner. When they open their second outlet from a single, Pizza Hut will have to keep some one on whom they can trust and can rely on and they have to shift a few staff from the present one to the opening one. As they opening a new outlet, they are turning from one into two outlets. Due to this the position of many of the staff’s have been will be changed. This change does not affect their work, they have an effective communication channels among the employees. This could be in the form of giving the staff a proper atmosphere in which they can settle easily, the changes in the outlet and the goals that the Pizza Hut wants to attain. RECOMMENDATION Starting up the new outlet, initially it will not give them that much profit but it will definitely give some. For this: 1. Pizza Hut should shift few of their staff and of course one of the leader to supervise from the existing outlet to the one which will open in the near future. 2. They should appoint few new staff for the existing outlet and also foe the future’s outlet so that the one who are new in the new outlet can get t know more from their seniors who are shifted from the existing business. 3. For marketing about their new outlet they should restructure they method in which the do the marketing. 4. The market research was done on few people in Baroda, Gujarat, and not in the whole of Baroda. So the extensive market research needs to be conducted across the whole Baroda, Gujarat to get the proper kind of information about the location. CONCULSION The report shows that Pizza Hut should pen the new outlet in Baroda, Gujarat, India. If Pizza Hut increases their staff, then it would be in a better position to serve the customers and if they shift few of their trained staff and give training to the new staff to whom they are going to appoint then they would also be in the better position. They should also shift one of the managers to the new outlet so that in case if any problem occurs then they will be able to handle it. The financial aspects of the undertaking are not the problem for the Pizza Hut as it is in a strong financial stage. But the recruitment of the new staff cold affects the staffs. The environment and the working portfolio of the staffs will be changed as Pizza Hut will reconstruct the marketing set-up. So before employing the new staff Pizza Hut should let the old staff settle into their working environment. As previously said, the personal interview were only conducted in Gujarat, and the result of this only represented he view of customers from Gujarat. Hence, the further market research needs to be done to get a broader perspective on this study. The indirect costs associated with the undertaking the project will have to ascertain. As previously mentioned, one indirect cost is that a large recruitment could lead to a decrease in the motivation of the existing staffs. Other indirect cost could be in the form of the training program for the new recruits to a specialist company, so that it is done efficiently. If the new recruits do their job well, serve the customers in the proper way, follow the training properly, are groomed very well and give the best service then this would motivate the customers to visit them again.

I went to Hightower High School located here at Fresno and my school consists of African Americans and Hispanics so I enjoyed the best of both worlds and cultures. As I walk past my old high school, I noticed that the school buses were parked outside ready to pick up the students to take them back home. It is very easy to notice the diversity of students, which consists of blacks and Hispanic plus few others races. I also noticed the closeness of the two dominate race. I see a couple of interracial couples amongst the students. Personally, I love to see the harmony of different race coming together as one or at least accepting and learning from each other. I think that the world will be a much better place if we can all accept and love each other as we love ourselves. It is very easy to find this pure love amongst the younger generations then the older generations. On a lighter note, I think that the community should ex pand a little more. The community needs more infrastructure, more developments, middle schools, businesses and organizations. For example, Fresno is divided into two visible sections, the first half of the section has residential and the

Management Labor Relation In Singapore †Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss About The Management Labor Relation In Singapore? Answer: Introducation Of all the functions of the HR managers, Labor Management Relations (LMR) are defined as one of the most complicated set of relationships to manage. The labor relations in Singapore, unlike the rest of the world are a four cornered relationship between the government, the employers, the labor unions and the labourers (NTUC, 2017). The four parties involved need to coordinate and cooperate with each other to maintain a healthy balance between them. The success of Singapore and its growth and development can all be contributed to the healthy balance between these three and a collaborative LMR in the nation. This report has been written with an intent to better understand and explain the LMR and the various players that are responsible for the maintenance of the same for Singapore. This report plans to explore the roles played by the four key elements of the LMR namely; employers, employees, trade unions and the government. Singapore as a country provides an exceptional example of how t hese relations are established and maintained to guide the nation towards development. This report also plans to explore and conduct a factor analysis of what makes Singapore and their LMR an interesting and ideal case study. The report further studies about the competitive advantage that Singapore has as a nation because of their exceptional LMR and a synchronized approach to the relations of the four players of LMR (Yoon, 2009). The employees and employers are connected by the professional relationship that they share. The trade unions are the dependable support that both of them have. Harmonious LMR help in avoidance of conflict and the difficult situations like strikes, non cooperation, lock outs, etc can be easily managed and avoided with their help. The LMR also helps in analyzing the competitiveness, vulnerability and job satisfaction level of the employees in order to take timely action for their correction of things are amiss. Being ranked the country with the most co-opera tive labor-employer relationships by the World Economic Forum, Singapore is a competitive nation with every party involved pushing the others to perform their best (Leggett, Strategic choice and the transformation of Singapore's industrial relations, 2005). This is the reason of the tremendous economic and social growth of the country and their people. Analysis of the roles of four key players of LMR LMR is defined as a trilateral relationship between the government, the employers and the laborers. However, if we analyze it closely, there is another player who plays a key role in the maintenance and management of these relationships. The trade unions who organize the labor industry are also an important contributor in the LMR and their maintenance. Thus, the four key players that shoulder the responsibility and help in the maintenance of healthy LMR in Singapore are 1) Employers 2) Employees 3) Trade unions and 4) Government. Now understanding the role played by each of these in detail, the employers in Singapore are all a part of the union for employers named Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF). Founded in the year 1980, it has the members count of over 2000 and is an autonomous body dedicated to help the employers in Singapore make their organizations more productive and profitable. It also helps the employers in the achievement of work-life balance. This organizatio n works in sync with the other key players to help the nation in achieving industrial harmony. SNEF also works towards maintaining and monitoring healthy competition in the market. The second key player in the LMR are the employees or the building blocks of the nation (Commission, 2005). Employees are the players forming the basis of all the unions. The Labor Movement of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) was made an all inclusive movement by the people of Singapore tom unite for the rights of the employees. There is a need for sustainable development of the country at this time. Singapore need to train the people and make them skilled and at the same time create jobs for them. As the people get added to the labor market, job creation needs to go up as well. If this does not happen, it will lead to structural unemployment for the country resulting in wastage of resources (Kaur, 2012). The Trade Unions are a generally neglected, but crucial part of the LMR. Singapore is consta ntly working towards organizing the labor markets into unions and unionizing more and more workers has been the objective of the NTUC for very long now. Having 58 affiliated unions at present, and two affiliated associations which include the industrial, public, service and omnibus sectors it is the a trade unions working towards the accomplishment of all the objectives of the Labor Movement in Singapore. They also work for the protection of the rights of the workers and advocate for their best interests. They help in collective bargaining and support the employees and their rights. The fourth and the all-powerful player in the LMR is the government of Singapore. The government and the leading political party extend the support to all the other key players to maintain a healthy balance between them. The government leadership and support is required by all in order to actually contribute to the growth and development of the nation. The Singapore government has always worked towards p roviding the employers, employees and the trade unions, an environment where they can survive and thrive. The Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2015 which came into force on 1st April 2015 has made a big difference in the LMR. The act has allowed the trade unions to represent employees belonging to the non-executive work functions. This has enabled the trade unions even more and has helped them to represent such employees collectively, which was earlier not possible. The second amendment made in the act was to enable the trade unions to represent executive employees on an individual basis, especially representing them on the issues related to re-employment (Natrss, 2013). The expansion implemented by the Amendment Act provides executives with an additional and less costly alternative for resolving re-employment matters, by settling re-employment disputes through union and management negotiations. The trade unions of Singapore are now likely to seek the recognition for representat ion of the executive employees. This has also helped the employers, who are now approaching the unions for collective discussion instead of individually contacting the employees. The Singapore government has realized that he key to a harmonious workplace is increased collaboration between the employees, the employers and the unions representing them. The increased competitiveness between the employees and the employers is ultimately going to benefit the country as it will increase the productivity and efficiency of the employees. Governed by the rules formed by the Ministry of Manpower (MoM), the employers, employees and trade unions of Singapore constantly help in maintaining harmonious LMR and work in a synchronized manner towards the growth and development of Singapore. Analysis of the competitive advantage to Singapore through LMR Singapore as a country has displayed resilience and stood strong even in the face of adversities as a result of strong LMR. The year 2008 was a year of global economic and financial crisis. Even when the world saw large organizations going bankrupt and countries recording negative economic growth, Singapore registered a growth in employment. This can also be contributed to the solidarity between the Singapore government, the employers and the laborers of the country. The present situation of the world is that of uncertainty and all the nations of the world are undergoing structural changes. Even in these turbulent times, the close ties of the government, the employers and the laborers are being leveraged to keep the Singapore economy from giving in to the pressure and keeping them in the global race to economic progress. Healthy LMR maintenance has helped Singapore in keeping the employees satisfied. The labor movement in Singapore has pushed the employees to perform better and incre ased their productivity by promising them fair wages. The unionized workers in Singapore enjoy a 4% wage hike and bonus payments just like the employees in the other organized sectors. This keeps the employees motivated and loyal to their unions (Leggett, The fourth transformation of Singapores industrial relations, 2007). The laborers are employed on the basis of their skills and productivity and their wages are also set according to that. The Labor Movement of Singapore has also taken care of the disputes and cases that require settlement. Every year they settle thousands of cases resolving the clashes and disputes among the key players of the LMR. They educate and make the employees aware about the rights and responsibilities. The employees, therefore, are more aware than ever before. The unionized workers and laborers have several other benefits enjoy. They have annual paid leaves, leaves on the demise of immediate family and leaves for personal reasons like marriage. The unions provide the employees child sick leaves, elder care leaves, family care leaves and paternity leaves. The unionized workers in Singapore also enjoy 5 days leave for their training and development. These are just a few workplace benefits that the employees in Singapore enjoy (Singapore Government, 2010). The employees and employers are connected by the professional relationship that they share. The trade unions are the dependable support that both of them have. Harmonious LMR help in avoidance of conflict and the difficult situations like strikes, non cooperation, lockouts, etc. can be easily managed and avoided with their help. The LMR also helps in analyzing the competitiveness, vulnerability and job satisfaction level of the employees in order to take timely action for their correction of things are amiss. The grievance handling procedure also becomes easier and more organized when there is a healthy LMR maintained among the parties (Lee, 2013). Harmonious LMR are a contributing factor in the growth and development of both the employees and the employers. They will foster peace and harmony and provide a constructive work environment for all the employees (Poh, 2015). The industrial democracy is also maintained in the system if all the key players are connected and have open discussions. It benefits all the members as it increases the productivity of the firms and consequently the nation. A competitive edge in the work environment can only help in getting the required work from the employees. So, if the healthy work environment or the healthy competition is required within the system, it is vital to provide employees with welfare schemes and concord. The Labor Movement in Singapore is going strong even after 50 years of independence. As a country with a skilled workforce and harmonious industrial relations, Singapore enjoys a significant advantage. However, these relations need to be worked on continuously by all the parties involved and strengthened to continue enjoying this advantage. As the nation faces tough competition from the continuous technological advancement, it has much to do to maintain strong labor-management relationship (SHRI, 2017). The unionization of the employees which is generally avoided by other countries, as it leads to stagnation of the economy and exploitation of the workforce, has instead proved to be beneficial in practice, in Singapore. The strong collaboration between the parties involved in LMR has led to increase in job-creation and a rise in the pay scale of the workers. The NTUC in Singapore works constantly to ensure that the skills of the employees are constantly upgraded and they get the pay and benefits from the employers as per their skills and capability. Conclusion This report has been written with an intent to better understand and explain the LMR and the various players that are responsible for the maintenance of the same for Singapore. The labor relations in Singapore are a four cornered relationship between the government, the employers, the labor unions and the laborers. The four parties involved need to coordinate and cooperate with each other to maintain a healthy balance between them. The success of Singapore and its growth and development can all be contributed to the healthy balance between these three and a collaborative LMR in the nation. This report has explored and conducted a factor analysis of what makes Singapore and their LMR an interesting and ideal case study. The report further analyzed the competitive advantage that Singapore has as a nation because of their exceptional LMR and a synchronized approach to relation of the four key players of LMR. The Singapore government has realized that he key to a harmonious workplace is increased collaboration between the employees, the employers and the unions representing them.

The Swimmer by John Cheever American Society Essay Example

The Swimmer by John Cheever: American Society Paper Throughout the story as Ned travels from pool to pool, more and more is revealed bout him by his neighbors, things that Ned had seemingly forgotten or chosen to Ignore. Upon first observation, It would appear that Needs drinking had clouded his memory of certain things that had taken place recently like ? ¦When had he last heard from the Wheelers?o (American Literature, 2412). However, as the story progresses It is made clear that Ned has the tendency to conceal painful facts, keeping them repressed as a defense mechanism to deal with the real misery of his life. Because of that tendency of Needs, one of the most prominent themes in The Swimmer is one must face reality eventually. This is exemplified within the story when Ned finds himself at his mistress house and at the very end when he himself finally makes It home. This theme goes well with the usual John Cheaper subject matter like ? ¦manners and morals of middle-class, suburban America, and the emotional emptiness of life?0 ( Likened, 1) showing that Cheerers work is rooted in Modernism. Needy Merrill Is clearly in denial about the actual events that have taken place In his life.

When he goes to the Blessings house, he overhears talk about his family going broke overnight and he Ignored It as If it were not true (American Literature, 2415). During the next instant he was forced to face the reality of the relationship with his mistress Shirley Adams. Ned was expecting to show up and receive ? ¦love-sexual roughhouse?o from Shirley (American Literature, 2416). What he got Instead was the cold shoulder which he was not expecting. In Needs alternate reality, Shirley was still his lover and would be there to ? ¦cure? him but that was not the case. The incident with Shirley Adams was the first sign of Ned realizing that he had been In denial but the most significant example of reality staring Ned directly In his face was his arrival home. Throughout the story the reader Is led to believe that Needy has a wife named Lucian and that they live together with their four beautiful daughters. Snippets of information gave hints that life was not as perfect as Ned is Imagining when the neighbors start to say certain things about Needs status like him owing broke and asking for money. All the while Ned as been Ignoring these things until he gets home and wonders why the place is so dark- ?cases it so late that they 1 OFF Ana all gone to Deck* Ha Lacuna stayed at ten westernizes Tort supper girls Joined her there or gone someplace else? ?0 (American literature, 2416). Ned then begin to take notice of the poor condition of the house and eventually tried to get in. He finally realized ?cachet the place was empty?0 (American Literature, 2417). Everything that the neighbors had said about Ned and his family was true. He didnt have his family together, they had lost money, and the house was no longer his. Needy Merrill was great at i gnoring the true events of life but he had to face it in the end. The theme one has to face reality eventually is clearly shown in The Swimmer. The protagonist in the story constantly ran away from the truth and was in denial about the misfortunes that had befallen him and he eventually had to face reality. John Achievers work placed him in the literary movement of Modernism because he wrote about how changes like suburban living impacted the lives of Americans during the time. His work also reflected how his life in particular was affected. John Cheaper turned to alcohol as a vice and it was something that disrupted his life completely (American Literature, 2409). In the story, not only does Ned use alcohol to drown out the pain of reality but everyone else in suburbia does the same. The story even opens with ?Celt was one of those midsummer Sundays when everyone sits around saying: l drank too much last night?0 (American Literature, 2409). Therefore, the Modernistic style is expressed thoroughly by Cheaper as he reflects his own life and the lives of Americans in his work.

As an American, one of our most cherished rights is our freedom of religion. People have the right to believe in whatever they want. Whether it’s Jesus Christ, Allah, or Buddha, some people can be easily threatened by this, yet some admire it deeply. Even today with crimes being committed in the name of religious beliefs, stones cast at nonbelievers, and proselytizers conducting door to door recruitment, I believe this variety of spiritual ideals, religious or not, is the fastest growing threat to our society, and will be our termination. Like most Americans, when I think of religious crime, I think of the terrorist attack on September 11th 2001 in New York City, New York. A day that few will forget, when the Islamic fundamentalist group Al-Qaeda destroyed the two towers of the World Trade Center, but if you look back to the year 1995, a Christian fundamentalist named Timothy McVeigh bombed the Alfred P.

This was done in an act of revenge for the U.S. governments attack on the Brach Davidians in Waco, Texas led by a man named David Koresh, a self proclaimed God to his followers.
