Part 1 I decided to carry out a PEST/STEEPL analysis on MacDonald’s‚ the fast food chain. Although in their own Mission and Value statement they describe themselves as a franchise business. The STEP analysis proved to be relatively easy‚ in some was it is similar to SWOT‚ in that once a start has been made it is difficult to stop. I used a copy of their 2011 Annual Report as the basis for the analysis‚ this did make things difficult in term of economic factors as the report was mainly financial

The statement is false. This is a tricky question! Although the Buchanan Report and the Monderman thesis do offer visions of how to manage traffic they also offer us two competing visions of social order. The Buchanan Report is underpinned by a social order which privileges the segregation of humans and motors through an array of measures in urban design and the regulation of the conduct of both drivers and pedestrians. This social order emphasises the value of a social environment delivering the

Ann in an isolated position‚ with no work and no outside time to meet her social needs. ‘The ensuing isolation and loneliness seem to be an inevitable part of caring. This has been referred to by other carers as the caring syndrome’ (Cavaye‚ 2006. K101 Resources). Using up lots of time to care for someone can then increase strain in other relationships‚ as your balance between them may not be equal. Ann’s relationship with Bob her husband was strained at times with tension between them; this was

This essay will explore why working in someone’s home can give rise to tensions and challenges for both the service user and care worker and will go on to explore how these issues can be overcome. When we read about Yetunde’s visit to Angus and Ann’s home it is clear that this was not an easy one for all involved. From the onset‚ tensions were running high within the family home. Ann was feeling frustration and despair at having to wait so long for support to arrive‚ coupled with guilt that

In the beginning of unit one it becomes apparent that there are many difficulties involved in being a carer‚ the main difficulty that stood out for me is that many carers feel they have little or no choice in regards to who will care for the family member in question. Almost immediately we were made aware that Ann was expected to take on the role of caring for her step-father Augus when her mother passed away. Ann along with many other carers feel a sense of ‘Family duty’ when it comes to caring

TMA 02 Part 1 Explain how relationships can develop. I have chosen ‘Theory of mind’ in Unit 1 Psychology and ‘Attachments within the family’ in Unit 5 Childhood to help me to illustrate the diverse and complex ways we can develop relationships in our lifetime. In early childhood we are thought to be very egocentric in that we are unable to see things from another’s point of view. The theory of mind is thought to be how most humans understand that other people have different thoughts‚ feelings and

The word ‘carer’ is the generally acceptable term‚ for someone that supports and cares for a family member‚ friend or neighbour that may be suffering from illness‚ disability or unable to manage daily life unaided (dircetgov‚2006). Care relationships can be very demanding on time and emotions‚ life can become extremely

First of all we need to look at what is meant by the word ‘carer’. A government website agrees “the word ‘carer’ means someone who looks after a friend‚ relative or neighbour who needs support because of their sickness‚ age or disability”. (Directgov 2006). A carer goes beyond what is expected from a relative‚ friend or neighbour; they are not paid like some professionals known as care workers‚ although they are vital to the government in providing care to some of the most vulnerable. The type of
