Introduction

Films have always been created with diverse views in mind in that some have been created to serve entertainment purposes, others as exposes while others have been created for educational use. However, the most common feature in all this film is the influence of the genre they are based in and the mindset of the director. Directors often influence the course of the film in that most of these films reflect their desires and interests. This is the reason certain movies can only be identified with particular directors. Another thing that affects the making of films is their genre. Different genres demand distinct methods of directing. For instance, horror movies may require enhanced cinematography than drama films. This is because the scene rather than the actors influence the outcome of horror movies. This essay will review diverse elements related to films in the American society and other societies.

Television Series as Work of Art

Anderson (2008) asks a question that many people would ask in a response to HBOs deed to influence audiences to view TV series as works of art. He states that TV programs have always been seen as eye-catching attractions meant to lure the audiences to the adverts on TV. No one had ever dreamed that these TV serials could be looked at in any other way because of its cinematography and the messages conveyed by the movies. However, some scholars think that these serials can be looked at as works of art especially looking at the skill required to produce a watchable program. Additionally, TV series can be interpreted as cultural representatives in that most of them contain some cultural sense. In addition, they are full of social implications.

However, the fact that these programs still inspire a feeling of indifference, and bad nostalgia implies that the effort by some quarters to view the films as a work of art is still misplaced. HBO has tried its best to change these beliefs and make people see TV series as works of art. Their efforts began when the stellar TV series began airing. The thought behind their action was that works of art get a huge respect for their audiences. The thrill that makes people pays huge amounts of money to either view a gallery or buy a piece of art comes stems from the respect that these audiences proffer to the artists and the art itself. From this belief, HBO noted that altering people’s attitudes would be a step in the right direction in TV broadcasting.

The Sopranos integrates a mixture of generic influences, cinematic and televisual elements. The series also offers an array of a trendy culture and past media and basic forms. Perhaps the main difference between The Sopranos and another series is the inter-textual references that bring an assurance that the scenes beyond the one the audience are watching would be likable. In truth, The Sopranos makes the audience like they belong to the program because apart from enhancing the knowledge possessed by the audience, it also contains aspects synonymous with the audience.

Iconography, Conventions and Audience Expectations of the Horror Genre

Trends in audience perceptions on horror films

The years between 1930 and 1970 oversaw the making of horror films, which were obviously poor in quality compared to other film genres. Indeed, these programs were few and sparsely distributed in TV since most people viewed them as imitations of real life’s occurrences. The horror movies were left for the children and the young adults because the adults thought that it was absurd to watch such movies. Occasionally, these movies would be aired in theaters when all the other film genres have been exhausted. Some movies show the perceptions of people towards this genre. However, other films such as Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963) helped to change these perceptions partly because of the quality of its pictures and plot. Additionally, the fact that the movies were set in the distant past implied that any normalcy synonymous with horror movies had been removed. This implied that the audience could watch these movies without any fright because the notion that they could happen in reality was long gone.

However, some such as Them (1954) had glimpses of reality as the ants in the film seemed to portray the future. Indeed, the supposition that the impact of the atomic bomb and the Cold War would create monsters was the basis for this film. However, the audience were increasing from one day to the next indicating the changing insight into the horror genre. Even then, the directors of such films endeavored to separate the audience from the events happening in the film. This happened after the realization that horror movies inspired fear that did not augur well with the audience.

Iconography of Horror Movies Screaming is the main feature often seen in horror films, and it puts a focus on the commencement of evil in the story. Screaming often occurs after the discovery of a spooky element capable of taking someone’s life. Screaming in horror films often connote human fear for the unexpected while the title of the film is designed to indicate that the audience will experience fear while watching the movie. Although horror films are purposed at bringing fear and edginess in the audience, some incorporate several aspects to make them unforgettable. The adrenaline levels of the audience are raised in the process meaning that the audience is engaged throughout the film. There are several elements synonymous with horror films namely

Discovery – This is usually seen at the beginning of the film as the characters go on with their endeavors usually an expedition. Like the rest of the characters congregate in one place, one character, usually the adventurous one, ventures into another scene. He or she becomes the first to discover the evil, which either kills him or her or maims her. The others come to find out about the existence of the evil later.

Confirmation – This is the point where the characters are persuaded that the evil exists. This raises the fear of the characters as they try to escape while others strategize on how to attack the evil and exterminate it. More times than not, several characters die in the process. The few that remain are successful in getting rid of the evil.

Conventions of Horror Films

There are several conventions that and differentiate and define the horror genre. These may include stylistic conventions or other conventions that make the genre a distinction from the others. The stylistic conventions may include

Sound/Music

The sound and music in horror films are made in such a way to create suspense that informs the viewer of the incoming danger in the subsequent scenes. These sounds are scary and indicate that the action is creepy. In the past, horror films did not put much emphasis on sound and music as they put it nowadays. This made the films appear low quality and unwatchable because they never met their purpose of scaring people. Even so, they had a certain effect on the viewers because they were horrific. Music and sound increase the nervousness of the viewers because of their chilliness. Music has been used over time to signify a horror movie such that there are sounds that are synonymous with the genre.

Lighting

Although all genres lighting is used in several film genres to portray different things in diverse scenes, the horror genre is known to use light and lack of it extensively. Indeed, horror movies are synonymous with low lighting, which enables the directors to produce a contrast of intense light and darkness. Therefore, generating shadows vital in providing a mood needed in a horror film. Scholars state that the shadows act as imagery allowed horror and noir to make the dark stories to be displayed on the screen. Low lighting creates a huge suspense because both the characters and the audience have no idea of what is surrounding them. Moreover, the evil in these films operate more effectively in the darkness implying that during the darkness, the audience is expecting to view an evil event. This creates anxiety and fear in the audience as it foreshadows future events in that particular movie. In this sense, horror films can be known through low lighting, which changes as the film reaches certain points.

In truth, the faint light introduces a dark atmosphere where the unknown often operates while surrounding the actors. The viewers are obviously frightened by these events since they have no idea of what is going to ensue. Most of them sympathize with the characters, and this becomes the reason they get scared throughout the movie. Since viewers have a clue of the principles of a horror film, they have an estimate of what is going to occur to the character. However, they do not know what exactly will happen and at what time. This leaves them at the highest point of suspense.

Low –lighting was an emphasis of horror films in the past since the art of filmmaking was still low. However, some modern horror films do not focus on light so much as the characters and the sounds in the film. The setting of the movie is also very important because it produces that chilling effect. For instance, Wrong Turn series are set in the forest where the monsters become the hallmark of the movie because they have experience in this environment.

Camera Work

A particular camera work has become synonymous with horror movies hence becoming one of its conventions. Canted angles, intense close-ups, shots from both the point of view and constant shots have become the elements that built anxiety within the audience. Indeed, horror movies exhibit slow movement of the camera, which symbolize that an event is about to occur. This element coupled with the underlying music and sounds generates tension among the viewers hence enhancing the effect of the cinema on the viewers.

The camera allows the viewers to watch the movie in a different way from other movies since this convention can show the subsequent events. This implies that horror movies have an aura of predictability that is attractive to many audiences. Changing these conventions may have a distinctive effect on several groups of audiences since a change is always opinionated. Some may be irked by the changes because of the attractiveness of knowing what is happening next while some may be thrilled due to the undesirability of predictability. However, the outcome of genres in film must be predictable since it is the only way that these genres can be defined. Moreover, an audience chooses to watch a certain genre because of the conventions identified with it. This implies that there have very little changes in the conventions of horror movies concerning camera styles since its inception due to the needs of the audiences.

The horror film conventions and iconography defined above defined viewers expectations as they are the main elements of horror movies. However, these expectations have changed over time, as the audiences demand movies that do not necessarily imitate reality. Moreover, since the quality of pictures in movies was stressed, the viewers expected that the horror genre would be made of high-quality pictures too. Recently, any movie with a low picture quality is never watched since the critics start by reviewing the quality of the images in the film.

National and international cinema

Although Hollywood cinemas may have different settings, they reflect the production strategies synonymous with American. Although the setting may appear to be other parts of the world, the strategies always used reflect Hollywood’s style. Most American films, including those done in other parts of the world are founded on Hollywood values and principles. One watches a movie and without being told the location of the production, they sense that it is from Hollywood from the quality of pictures and the plot of the film. Hollywood films have become very popular to an extent that they can no longer be termed as national cinema. Indeed, most of the events in the Hollywood movies emphasize on events happening in other countries rather than those happening in America. Perhaps the major element that shows the American in the movies is the actors who hail from the Hollywood. However, the improvement of the film industry all over the world implies the existence of movies that imitate, or differentiate itself from Hollywood. One such cinema is the British Cinema, which is seen as imitating the strategies used in Hollywood.

Indeed, British Cinema is seen as lacking its culture as it portrays cultures from other parts of the world. However, this aspect has catered for the Western, who is thrilled by the prospect of watching diverse culture apart from their culture. An example of such a flick is the Crocodile Dundee. The fact that these movies may utilize non-American actors does not imply that they are not imitating Hollywood. In fact, these actors play Hollywood characters making them seem like Hollywood movies. Therefore, while movies from different parts of the world try to have a national outlook, the effect of Hollywood standards is still visible in their films. This is perhaps Hollywood has been taunted as the best film production in the universe, a fact that is arguably true.

The impact of the Director on the outcome of a film

Films combine elements such as the script, the setting, the actors, the designers, the director, and the support staff in its production. However, the director is seen as the major element that determines the course of the film because his or her ideas come to the fore during the production of the film. The fact that film production requires versatility implies that the director can choose to change particular aspects to fit the preferences of his or her audiences. This can also be seen in the outcomes of films as two directors can direct a movie and the two movies receive different receptions from the audiences. Moreover, different genres have different directors.

Elements of cinematography such as the camera angle are the main factors that determine the impact of directors on a film. These elements make the director the author of the movie and hence he or she is responsible for all the events in the movie. One director who portrays the ideas in the auteur theory is Joss Whedon, whose style of directing is seen to influence the outcome of the film.

Whedon has revolutionized auteur theory by establishing another form through his unchanged production staff. Indeed, Whedon uses a skilled staff motivated by their previous successes, scripts that are proven factually and statistically and support from other directors, producers, and writers in this field. In truth, his reliance on experience has made him one of the most revered directors in the industry. His recurring utilization of a creative team and his collectively structured production strategy has enabled him to create an evolution in the auteur theory.

Whedon’s Strategy and his production personnel have influenced movies since he started directing film in 1997. This is evident in his movie Buffy made his first movie in the years 1997. Although his style of directing was inspired by those of former successful directors, Whedon went further and created a brand of his own seen as one of the best in the industry up to date.

The movies created by Whedon have always had a future look like most of them are based on fictitious events occurring in the future. Moreover, his act of thinking outside the ordinary has allowed him to achieve great strides in the industry. This aspect in him has, however, developed over time as it can be seen from programs including as Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, and the Avengers. Therefore, the notion that film ooze the character of its director is entirely true mainly because of the strategies and the production team.

High Art and commercial forms

The concept of postmodernism has posed many challenges in its definition mainly because it has recently been used. Moreover, different people have distinct definitions of the term implying that there is no agreement yet on its universal meaning. Art has been used to portray this fact although at different stages since every artist comes up with a piece that best explains what they think postmodernism is. This implies that the concept will be ever-present in this era of globalization as the arts industry is moving in that direction.

Multiculturalism and Globalization are always increasing in the current world because of the linkage of economies and politics. However, some studies show that the concept of postmodernism is slowly being replaced by the creolization. In this sense, creolization has a deeper meaning than multiculturalism. This is because the former implies the rise of original tribes such as Africans, Spanish among others. Creolization does not imply the mixture of cultures but an up rise of individual cultures. Multiculturalism, on the other hand, implies that a country has a mixture of cultures. This brings in the concept of high art and art meant for commercial purposes. Artwork in the current world has been made for commercial purposes since the only intention is money minting. Nevertheless, some forms of art such as music videos still have a sense of high art where the listeners are inspired by the foundations of the music.

Elvis Presley, King Creole (1958) can be used as a film depicting high art because the film is based on rock music, which was Presley’s forte. The film is about a young man named Danny, who fails in his exams and decides to take a job at a club to support his family. The people who have a fetish for rock music can only realize the essence of this film. This means that the film is not meant for multitudes and hence cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Recently, music videos, movies, and even serial have been designed to attract people to watch the adverts on TV. However, there are some, which still stress on the foundations of filmmaking. This is a proper indication of the direction that the film industry is moving as producers, actors, and even directors focus on making more money.

Advantages of diversity

Attract the best talent

Organizations that embrace diversity management create an inclusive environment that enhances their reputation with job seekers. Typically, no one would like to work in an organization where his or her talents are not appreciated. Worse of all, know one would like in an environment that is rife with discrimination and where is considered a stranger. This means that organizations that prefer a homogeneous workforce, may discourage talented employees from minority groups from joining the company. In such an event, the organization is unable to realize its full potential. Moreover, the organization loses favor with minority groups and hence loose potential market for goods and services.

Enhanced productivity

In John and Bezrukova’s view by hiring workers on the basis of race and gender results, an organization ends up with employees who are paid more wages, but who are not more productive (703). The relationship between diversity and productivity can also be examined using work teams. Work teams or groups are important in any organization. The benefits of work teams can be illustrated using the example of the Motorolla company. The company has adopted a team-based structure to solve organizational problems. These teams are also charged with the responsibility of coming with creative ideas. An important aspect of cross-functional teams in the Motorolla is that their membership is drawn from diverse groups. Social interaction in work teams leads to increased productivity as the members share diverse viewpoints and perspectives. Ultimately, an organization stands to benefit by forming diverse teams.

Innovation

The interplay between innovation and diversity has been explored by many scholars. Innovation is a multidimensional term, and has both subjective and objective traits. Subjective traits include processes of creativity and original thinking. On the other hand, objective traits include the structures through which creative ideas are generated and transmitted to others. The ability of an organization to come up with creative ideas largely depends on the way subjective raw materials are harnessed by the objective structures of innovation.

Innovation is defined as the generation of new ideas that are vital for the production of goods and services and development of processes and systems. It is widely acknowledged that the ability of workers to communicate creative ideas, can be constrained by institutional and non-institutional forms of discrimination. It has also been established teams that have diverse characteristics have a great capacity to solve more complex problems to homogeneous teams as they had a greater pool of ideas. This position is supported by numerous studies. In such one study, established high levels of innovation in Germany was reported in areas where there were higher levels of cultural diversity than areas with lower levels of diversity. In a more comprehensive study whose participation was drawn from 1000 international teams, Under and Kregel (15) found out innovation was higher in teams that had equal gender ration than teams with an unequal ratio.

Based on other similar it is correct to conclude that diversity contributes to innovation in a number of ways. Firstly,creative ideas are born when the participants have dissimilar mind sets. Conversely,like-minded people are likely to make lie-minded decisions. In a diverse group the participants have dissimilar mind sets owing to their different backgrounds hence innovation is likely to occur. Secondly,diversity in a group encourages effective learning. Thirdly, diversity in a group leads to innovation due to the diverse range of perspectives that the participants have. The participants also have a broader spectrum of expertise and more robust critical evaluation compared to homogeneous group, hence more innovative ideas are born. Fourthly, diverse groups can access a broader network of relationships, cultural capital and bi-cultural competence. Diverse groups use these resources to generate new ideas.

Enhance efficiency

The issue of efficiency is well discussed by Janssens and Stevart in the article titled, theories of diversity within organization studies: debates and future trajectories..It is well acknowledged that the members of a diverse workforce can complement each other, since each one of them has different abilities and comes from a different background. In such a setting, communication is also enhanced because each member has unique ideas and knowledge that the other members can utilize. It then follows that organization should target to employ disadvantaged groups to utilize the specific capabilities that they have.

Retention

Employee engagement reduces turnover. In the US, turnover among women and people of color is significantly higher and a costly problem for many companies. In particular, the turnover rate for black Americans is 40% higher that the rate for whites. Similarly, the turnover rate for women is twice as high as for men. This high turnover rate negatively impacts on an organization in many ways. Firstly, the company the company is forced to spend more money on recruitment, staffing and training costs. Van der Vegt, Van de Vliert, and Huang (1171) estimates that the total cost can be as much as $10,000 for an hourly worker and $200,000 for an executive earning at around $100,000. Women and other minority groups often discriminated against in the workplace or are insecure about their status to fully engage themselves at work. When these groups their concerns are not being addressed they opt to leave their places of work. These minorities also face numerous frustrations when it comes to promotions. Unlike companies that discriminate against these groups based on primary and secondary dimensions, companies that embrace diversity management are able to attain competitive advantage.

The relationship between retention and diversity is well documented. A study that was conducted by Van der Vegt,, Bunderson, and Oosterhof (877) compared the satisfaction levels between workers in a company with a diverse workforce an done without. The results of the study showed that employees in a company with a heterogeneous workforce were more satisfied compared to their counterparts. The findings of this study are clear indication that organizations should embrace diversity management in order to improve the satisfaction of the employees hence reducing the turnover rate. By doing so, the company will not only reap the benefits associated with diversity, but they will also avoid the prohibitive costs of recruiting new employees. Another similar study that was conducted in 2004 found out that women and minority groups were more willing to work in a company with a heterogeneous workforce. Some of the participants in the study argued that they would rather work in an organization with a diverse workforce in exchange for for a lower salary than in an organization without a diversity program but which promises them a higher salary. Their arguments were based on the fear working in a company with a homogeneous workforce was likely to affect them psychologically due discrimination and emotional torture.

Creates a better working environment for employees

As earlier indicated a diverse workplace promotes personal development and higher levels of satisfaction. However, for this benefit to be realized diversity should be implemented on the surface, rather it should be integrated into the firm’s social and business fabric. A safe work environment will also depend on the perception of the employees. In this regard, if minority groups feel there exist perceived discrimination, then their commitment to the performance of the organization is likely to be affected.

Quality of service provision and improved market share

A diverse workforce that mirrors the organization’s consumer market can increase customer base and appeal. The minority employees are also able to understand the needs of the minority customers hence the company is able to increase its market share. Some of the sectors, such as the service-industry require high levels of customer service. In such an industry, the consumers are likely to approach one of their own. It then makes sense that organizations should employee minority workers in order to improve customer relations with minority consumers.

Tempo Meter Melody Mode Medium Texture Dynamics Form Fill-in the chart below.

“Mr. Hernandez” definitions of these musical terms (simplified):Tempo – essentially, how fast or slow – so ask yourself, is this is a slow tempo, fast tempo, or somewhere in between, we call that moderato or mediumMeter – how many big beats do you feel, three beats like a waltz (oom, pah, pah) or perhaps as two-beats or four-beatsMelody – is the melody sound fairly scalar (conjunct), as moving step-wise, or does melody have lots of huge skips (leaps) in that the singer or instrumentalist is low then high then low againMode – this one difficult but you figure out if a minor or major scale is being utilized – don’t sweat this one if you can’t it out, really don’t worry about itMedium – simply state/describe what all you hear: Voices singing (and if so, how many – duet, trio, etc)? Drums? Piano? Guitars? Bass? Horns? Orchestra? Texture – you may wish to study this term more in the book, most textures nowadays are homophonic, that means melody with accompaniment; check the book for more on the other forms (e.g., monophonic, polyphonic, etc)Dynamics – how loud or soft; this does not mean your stereo or necessarily decibel level, rather this means what is the intensity level – is it intense, forceful, or is the song or piece soft, calm, serene? If it is strong & intense, that could be forte – if it is calm, peaceful that is more piano – obviously, dynamics refers to loud or soft, but moreover it refers to intensity; something passionate and powerful doesn’t necessarily have to be loud pounding your eardrums Form – form pretty much means sections of different or unique melodies; so like the verse is a section and the chorus is also a section; most songs are AB or strophic because they contain verse-chorus-verse-chorus and so; some songs have a third section that serves as a contrasting section so those might go something like this: ABABCA or even ABCAB and the like

Advantages of Flea Control Boric Acid Methods

Pests are always a nuisance whenever they invade personal space. They can also cause very grievous health problems if not gotten rid of in a timely manner. Flea control boric acid methods come in handy when it comes to getting rid of this blood sucking pests. Getting rid of these pests permanently is very hard and the best solution is keeping them away rather than trying to get rid of them.

There are several ways you can prevent infestation of these pests either on you or your pets. The most effective way to ensure that you do not have this problem is to ensure that you and your pets observe high levels of personal hygiene. It is advisable to bathe your pets regularly with shampoo to avoid these pests from nesting in their fur or feathers.

In the case that your pets are already infested with these pests, it is important to consider using effective insecticides to eliminate this menace. Borax comes in many forms to ensure that it is applicable in most of the situations for the elimination of these pests. This insecticide comes in liquid form, powder form and gel form to ensure that you can use it in all the cases that involve infestation of these pests.

Before the application of this insecticide, it is important to consider which form of the insecticide is most favorable. If the pests are located in places where you cannot use water then you can always opt for a gel or the powder. This is usually applicable in places where water would cause negative effects like near electric wires or on carpets and couches.

When the pests are on your pets, extra care should be taken as this solution can cause irritation of the skin. It is important that you wash your pets with a solution of the insecticide. It is important to properly dilute the solution to ensure that it is strong enough to kill the pests but gentle enough so as not to have negative effects on the skin of your pet. It is also important that you also sprinkle the environment of the pet with the insecticide so as to also kill the larvae.

Borax is very effective because it does not only kill the fully grown pests, but their eggs too. This chemical also eliminates ticks and a wide variety of other blood sucking external pests that feed on the blood of pets and even humans if the infestation is serious. Borax dehydrates the pests and their larvae and eggs eventually kill them.

Extreme care should however be exercised when dealing with these chemicals. Before the application of these insecticides, it is important to make sure that they will not have adverse effects on the users. Borax being an acid can cause adverse effects on the pets if applied in its concentrated form.

All in all, flea control boric acid methods are very effective and are recommended in most cases that involve pest infestation problems. This is because they are easy to apply and can be done without much hassle. This has made them the number one solution for solving pest problems.

Why you should go for the Flea Control Boric Acid Techniques

Our homes cannot remain the same when our homes get infested with Pests. They are extremely annoying have serious impacts on the entire household. The animals are a danger to the health of your family. Ensure that you get the Flea control boric acid services when you realize this problem.

However, you can employ some of the techniques that prevent this menace. The common one is maintaining proper hygiene at all times. Ensure that your pets are clean because they are the major carriers of the pests. You can use shampoo among other detergents so that its fur remains in good shape.

From the time to time, you should check your animals and see if they have any kind of pests in their feathers. This problem is best solved by applying the most powerful insecticides which must also be friendly to your environment. Borax is a trusted product which can be found in liquid, powder and gel forms. It makes sure that it removes the pests from your compound completely.

Your service provider should advice you on the most suitable chemicals which can be used in your situation. This is because there is a variety of pesticides that range from gel to powder forms. Since you do not have experience with such chemicals, consult them. It is appropriate to use gel chemicals on the electric appliances, carpets and couches which should not be touched with water.

Take care of your pets to ensure that they do not host these pests. If this happens, their skin is likely to become itchy and they will be so uncomfortable, especially during the summer period. Be responsible enough to get them a valid solution which will keep the annoying animals away. It is recommended that you bathe your pet using dilute solutions. Be careful not to use concentrated mixtures will negatively affect the skin of your domesticated animal.

The specialists recommend Borax because of its ability to eliminate both fully mature pests and their larvae. It is an effective chemical used on ticks and other blood sucking pests. When it is sprayed, it dehydrates the pests or larvae causing them to die. This is how powerful these chemicals are and hence do not risk by purchasing the wrong form. If not, then you will end up causing more harm to your pet.

These chemicals are poisonous if taken by human beings and pets. Some of them like Borax which is an acid, when concentrated will react adversely if it gets into contact with your skin or the pet’s. This is the reason why a contractor should be very careful as they fumigate your place. All kitchen equipment should be covered well and the children should not get access to the solutions.

It is evident that the flea control boric acid procedures are the most effective. They ensure that the pests leave your home, never to come back again. They are simple to apply and yet provide the best solution for your problem. Of same significance, they are affordable and available to all people in the city.

The effectiveness of the Flea Control Boric Acid Techniques

When pests get a way into your home, you need to do everything possible to kick them out as soon as possible. This is because you will never be comfortable living with these animals. They are annoying and they bring along serious health complications. When you are in this situation, ensure you get professionals to deal with your problem. They will use the Flea control boric acid methods to get rid of the menace.

It is important to do all things possible to minimize chances of this infestation. The key preventive measure is keeping your household clean and well lit. The pests will make a home where there is dirt and thrive quickly. Proper lighting will also keep them away. The pets are the common transmitters of these pests into your house. This is why you should always wash the domestic animals using effective solutions and shampoo as well.

When you realize that your dear pet has been infested, do not delay getting them the proper solution. It is best to buy the Borax acid. The specialist working for you should have the knowledge needed in diluting this product. This is because if it is not used in proper portions, it has severe effects on the pet’s skin. The pesticides are in three different forms; in liquid, powder and gel forms.

The process of removing the pests can be simple or complicated depending on how well you implement it. The first step involved is choosing appropriate chemicals that will not harm your beloved pet. Not every pesticide or insecticide can be used on them. Some of them react badly with their skin. This is why you should be careful on what your service provider is recommending to you.

Ensure that you understand all the instructions written on the chemicals before using them. Some will require to be diluted with a certain amount of water. For the gel forms, they are of best service when it comes to your electronics or couches and carpets which should not be made wet at all. Apart from cleaning the pet, you or your servicer should sprinkle the pet housing with the same insecticide in order to eliminate the larvae too.

Many people in the city go for the Borax chemical. It is actually a strong acid which is so effective that it clears all the adult pests plus their eggs. It is commonly used to treat pets with ticks on their skin. Ticks are harmful to your pet as they suck blood from them and even the human beings. This is why you will need to eliminate them as soon as you realize the problem.

The treatment involves the use of chemicals. Because of this, extreme caution should be observed. This is especially when the Borax is involved. As much as it is effective, it can damage a pet’s skin if applied incorrectly.

Any competent fumigator will use the flea control boric acid approach for outstanding results. For pest infestation problems, they are the best solution you can ever get. In addition, the steps involved in the technique are quite simple but will guarantee you good results.

CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY

CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY

3.1 Introduction

If a company like Yuanjin is going to meet the demand of its customers and reduce the amount of time it takes to manufacture products, it has to have strong ties with the top suppliers. It is possible that the textile and clothing industry will soon be in a position to provide competitive skills, high-quality items, and rapid lead times, all of which will contribute to the growth of the structure of the Chinese market. The major purpose of the research is to highlight how China’s textile industry has changed and expanded from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This will mostly be done with a focus on Yuanjin. The following are the main research questions for this investigation:

How can Yuanjin exploit the present post-covid season to change and upgrade?

Which fashion trends right now are applicable to Yuanjin’s textile and apparel industries?

How can Yuanjin take advantage of changes and advancements in the market to obtain a competitive advantage?

3.2 Research Design

The pragmatic approach, together with the philosophy that underpins it, suggests that the qualitative technique is the one that should be used for this research if it is to achieve its aims and objectives. Due to the qualitative nature of the study, qualitative research can demonstrate how attitudes evolve through time. It is possible to demonstrate how people’s perspectives evolve over time via the use of qualitative research methods (Basias & Pollalis, 2018). Techniques of qualitative research are superior than methods of quantitative research due to the fact that qualitative research methods do not have the same constraints. When collecting non-numerical data, there is a possibility that explanations will be supplied that explain more about the data, as discovered by Hawkins (2018). These explanations further describe more about the data. The paper will have a great deal of leeway after obtaining qualitative data and determined what it indicates. It is also true that methods and processes that do not perform well may be altered to operate better in certain circumstances. This is something that can be done. Academics have the ability to use qualitative research methodologies in order to conduct speculative study on subjects that they believe will be fascinating. When each of these factors is considered, it’s possible that qualitative data collecting is more concentrated on the people who are participating in the research than was previously believed.

The author makes a suggestion for a thorough inductive method for the analysis of data, making use of qualitative evaluation data in this investigation. The inductive method will be used in order to condense a great deal of information and make it more concise (Tomaszewski, Zarestky, & Gonzalez, 2020). In addition, the inductive qualitative approach creates clear links between the objectives of the evaluation or investigation and the first data summary. The approach will give a framework for interpreting the underlying process of any interactions or activities that are exposed by the raw data, which is an additional advantage of using the method. This instrument comes in quite helpful. An approach for doing an analysis of qualitative data is known as the wide inductive methodology. It is made up of a range of fundamental methodologies that, when combined, provide findings that are precise and dependable (Tomaszewski, Zarestky, & Gonzalez, 2020). Although it is not as widely popular as other methods for building theories or models, the general inductive technique may be used to address certain assessment problems.

3.3 Data Collection

Along with conducting an online interview with open-ended questions, we will also conduct a case study on the Yianjin Garment Factory as part of the inquiry. In open-ended surveys, the respondents are not coerced into selecting answers from a predetermined selection of possibilities. In its place, individuals are given the option to respond with as much or as little detail as they see fit. A web survey is a kind of online survey that is often prepared by software before being uploaded to research websites, emailed to responders, or both. It eliminates the time-consuming process of creating comments and allows users to simply share their thoughts through mobile devices, which is a significant time saver. This does double duty by both simplifying the procedure and improving the accuracy of the operation (Benitez-Correa, Gonzalez-Torres, & Vargas-Saritama, 2019). When qualitative data is obtained using an online survey employing a questionnaire, the procedure may be completed more quickly and effectively, making it more desirable. In online surveys, respondents are not obligated to provide responses to questions posed in the presence of the interviewer. This indicates that surveys carried out online have the potential to reach a big number of individuals. Participants are able to complete an online survey or questionnaire at their own leisure and on a variety of devices, which is one of the advantages of doing the activity in an online setting. This is one of its many wonderful traits.

In order to evaluate qualitative data from a variety of sources and come to certain conclusions, the approach of case study will be used. A qualitative case study is a kind of research that allows you to examine a phenomena in a specific setting by integrating a number of data sources and presenting the phenomenon from a variety of viewpoints. This type of research can be found in the field of social science. Using this process, you can investigate anything you want to. A case study examines a real-world occurrence and evaluates it within the parameters of its own unique setting. This method was developed on the premise that context plays a crucial role.

It is necessary to provide an open-ended response whenever a question is posed that cannot be answered with a straightforward “yes” or “no,” “true” or “false,” “multiple-choice,” or “rated on a number or star-rating scale.” Users of products are obligated to offer feedback that is both objective and in their native language and vernacular (Abutabenjeh & Jaradat, 2018). It is different from providing them with a list of alternative responses and is what is generally referred to as feedback from the voice of the customer. One of the advantages of using open-ended questions is that they make it possible for individuals to communicate their ideas. As a direct result of this, the information that is provided is far more specific, comprehensive, and often subjective. The researcher has the opportunity to collect more data and views that are more germane to the topic at hand when they use open-ended survey questions.

By asking the participants in the survey open-ended questions, researchers may be able to understand more about what they genuinely believe and how they feel about the subject of the survey. Therefore, there is no doubt that the approach of open-ended inquiry is beneficial for achieving the purpose of the research, which is to collect the respondents’ honest perspectives (Brydges, Retamal, & Hanlon, 2020). Businesses may learn a lot about how consumers feel about their goods and services by conducting surveys with those customers. Using properly calibrated questionnaires, researchers have the ability to determine the levels of customer satisfaction experienced by consumers as well as the reasons why particular prospective customers discontinue using a company’s goods or services. In research studies, the use of open-ended questions encourages participants to discuss freely about their thoughts, beliefs, suggestions, and critiques, which often leads to the discovery of new insights for researchers (Chakraborty & Biswas, 2020). The advantages far outweigh the negatives, which include the fact that open-ended responses are difficult to analyze and do not easily fit into statistical analysis models. Other drawbacks include the fact that open-ended responses may not be used at all.

Participant responses in their own words encourage a better knowledge of them, as there is no predetermined number of viable responses to open-ended inquiries. As a result, there are no constraints on the quantity of data that may be acquired. Since there is no predetermined number of responses to open-ended inquiries, customers’ responses in their own words encourage a better knowledge of them. Because of the variety of perspectives from which people will respond to the questions, you will have the opportunity to learn more about a variety of individuals. Research participants are more likely to supply entirely original data and recommendations when open-ended questions are used, which is one of the benefits of employing these types of queries (Haven & Van Grootel, 2019). Because there is no limit on the number of responses that may be given, it is quite feasible for you to acquire new knowledge and get insights into problems from perspectives that you had never previously considered thanks to the contributions of actual people. When responding to open-ended inquiries, individuals are at liberty to provide as much or as little information as they see fit in their replies. Because they are expressed precisely how the responder expresses themselves and allow for more natural expression, open-ended responses are more challenging (Hawkins, 2018). Replies to open-ended questions often provide more accurate results than responses to multiple-choice questions or questions based on ratings. When researchers ask respondents open-ended questions about their own points of view, they are better able to comprehend the connections between the ideas, emotions, and experiences being discussed.

3.4 Data Sampling

When doing qualitative research, a limited representation (also known as a sample) of the whole population is used for each individual study. A subset is another name for this particular category. Who will take part in the study and how many people will take part in the study will be somewhat determined by the aims of the research, which may need the involvement of extra persons, and partially determined by the characteristics of the study group (like size and diversity). The participants in this investigation will be chosen by a process known as purposeful sampling. Purposeful sampling is often used and is one of the most common sample procedures. A total of 20 individuals were chosen to participate in the study. Of the 20 participants, 8 are current employees at Yuanjin Textile Factory. The remaining 12 are representatives of the textile industry from various Chinese garment and clothing factories. Specifically, the research targets employees within the managerial capacity, individuals with some level of decision-making power, and company executives. It does this by classifying respondents into different subgroups according to criteria that have been shown to be relevant to the research subject (Mfinanga, Mrosso, & Bishibura, 2019). It is possible to make this choice before any data has been collected. It is important to take into consideration not only the goals of the report but also the amount of time and resources at your disposal, as well as the size of the sample. The point of saturation is a common strategy that is used in the process of calculating the size of an anticipated sample size. We have reached the point of saturation in the process of acquiring data when new information is no longer assisting us in gaining further knowledge about the matter that is being studied. If the data that is being acquired is evaluated and analyzed as it is being obtained, then deliberate sampling may be able to assist in achieving the most accurate results.

The paper chose to adopt a purposeful sampling since it has a number of benefits. In the first place, it is a way of picking samples that has a low overall cost. In this scenario, the researcher has to take into account the previous experiences of the volunteers in order to choose the most suitable participants for the systematic study (Haven & Van Grootel, 2019). Additionally, it shortens the total amount of time required. One further benefit is that researchers are able to extract the most out of the people they are investigating, which ultimately leads to more insightful conclusions from the research. In addition, purposeful sampling makes it easier to acquire qualitative data, which ultimately leads to improved, more high-quality findings as well as a deeper understanding of the topic being researched. When doing research on a certain subject, it is helpful to zero down on particular groups in order to obtain knowledge about that subject (Mik-Meyer, 2020). The researcher gathers information from people who are the best possible matches for the inquiry, which explains why the results make sense in the context of the study. Last but not least, the use of purposeful sampling helps to restrict the margin of error in the data that was gathered. This is because the information sources are an appropriate fit for the context of the study.

Purposeful sampling is a non-probability sampling method in which the variables for the sample group are chosen based on the researcher’s best judgment. This is sometimes called subjective sampling (Ishtiaq, 2019). For this problem, the sampling method depends a lot on the researcher’s judgment and what they already know. Researchers can get a lot of information from the collected data by using a method called “deliberate sampling.” This helps researchers explain to the wider public how important their results are. Everyone agrees that purposeful sampling is better than other types of sampling in terms of saving money and time. Consequently, it is one of the most common ways that researchers go about their work. Purposive sampling is a flexible research method that can be changed to make a survey more effective, since there are different ways to carry out the above steps (Melnikovas, 2018). When there aren’t many first-hand sources of data that can be used in a survey, purposeful sampling is often the only way to get good results because it gives researchers more control over the results. When purposive sampling is the main focus of a study, researchers can choose from a number of different ways to do qualitative research. It is sometimes necessary to use a different sampling strategy and method to get the data needed to draw a conclusion and meet the goals of these designs. By using the many practical approaches available through the purposive approach, research designs can be made more flexible (Mfinanga, Mrosso, & Bishibura, 2019). This makes it possible to use different methods to get the results you want. Researchers using purposive sampling may have to go through a number of steps, each of which may build on the one before it. This method works well because it gives researchers a wider range of options for non-probability sampling. Even though this often means making a new plan at the start of each phase, this method is important because of its benefits. The most common example of this benefit is the fact that, while a critical sample can be useful for figuring out how important an investigation is, the expert sampling technique makes it possible to look at all the data that has already been collected.

3.5 Data Analysis

The objective of using an inductive technique is to condense the raw textual information into a format that is concise and easy to understand. The method also seeks to create obvious linkages between the goals of the evaluation or study and the summaries that are derived from the raw data. Data from the case study as well as the responses from the 20 respondents will be used to identify key themes and issues within the Chinese textile industry. The overall intention is to understand how major stakeholders perceive the current efforts at Yuanjin and elsewhere within the industry, as far as the direction of the sector is concerned. This is one of the goals of the method. As an integral component of the strategy, the formation of these relationships is intended to take place (Mik-Meyer, 2020). This discussion will come to a close with an application of inductive data analysis, which will be used to develop a framework of the fundamental structure underlying observable experiences or processes in raw data. The general inductive approach is a set of straightforward and organized methods for evaluating qualitative data. These methods have the ability to provide outcomes that are reliable and accurate. When used to a specific set of assessment challenges, the general inductive methodology offers a method that is uncomplicated and uncomplicated in the way it goes about creating results (Saunders, Lewis, & Thornhill, 2007). When compared to the various methods of qualitative data analysis, it is probable that a greater percentage of evaluators would view a wide inductive methodology to be the simpler of the two.

For the purpose of generating ideas and identifying underlying themes, inductive content analysis makes use of a variety of textual materials and resources, such as research papers, old recordings, and other sorts of textual information. The inductive analysis might be considered a descriptive approach given that it is based on the facts and that it explains them. The concept of inductive content analysis is predicated on the notion that recurring topics may be discovered in massive volumes of data via the process of constantly contrasting and comparing various aspects of that material (Benitez-Correa, Gonzalez-Torres, & Vargas-Saritama, 2019). The inductive qualitative technique is the most effective strategy for doing research when there are either a limited number of prior studies on the topic at hand or no studies at all. In order for researchers to find out what the most significant problems are in their area of expertise, they could use the inductive technique, which entails narrowing the data down to a predetermined grouping of concepts or themes.
