A Womans Place by Naomi Wolf :: Feminism

The True Woman "A Woman’s Place", the name of the commencement speech given by Naomi Wolf at the Scripps College graduation in 1992; contrasts the independent and the dependent woman. In today’s society, there are two different types of women: the woman who has a good head on her shoulders and knows where she is going in the world, and the woman who seeks dependence within the masculine world. Just as they were thirty years ago, women are still not considered to be equal to men. They are more or less looked at as being second to men. Naomi Wolf is a Jewish feminist writer who supports the independent woman. She was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University and graduated from Yale in 1984. Since then, Wolf has written two books that she is very well known for. She wrote her first book, titled The Beauty Myth, when she was twenty-nine years old. This book talks about women and how they feel beauty is one of the most important factors that will get you anything or anywhere. Her second book Fire With Fire was written in 1993. This book is about women taking control and not being victimized. Wolf is said to be a headstrong feminist that really believes in women’s power. In her commencement speech she mentions four factors of knowledge that she believes are mandatory for women to remedy. Her idea of a true or good woman is a strong woman who knows what she wants from life, is out to succeed, and will survive. An untrue or bad woman is a lady that is weak, that has a tendency to get run over, and has no real ambition for what she wants to do with her life. Wolf says that in order to become a headstrong, successful woman, one needs to redefine becoming a woman. Women have many different ways to clarify becoming women. According to Wolf, men have it a lot easier; however, most people in society would not agree with this. Boys have just as hard of a time becoming a man as a girl does becoming a woman. One might believe that Wolf is trying to say a women needs to redefine herself in order to have a place to start, so she can figure out what she wants to be and where she wants to go.

Water Pollution

Water pollution is when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of materials to the water. (www. imbgnet. net) There are four types of water pollutions and I’m going to describe each one of them. I’m also going to tell you the solutions that I can up with and how I’m going to get the government and people involved to help. It is a lot of things that we don’t know about water pollution and how bad it is for our health. Every year, 14 billion pounds of sewage, sludge, and garbage are dump into the water. (www. hinkquest. com) Nineteen trillion gallons of waste also enter the water annually and it is a hard thing to clean up. The first type of water pollution I’m going to talk about is Toxic substance; which is a chemical pollutant that is not a naturally occurring substance. This is what we would call man made material that we dump into the water every day. The second one is Organic substance that occurs when an excess of organic matter such as manure or sewage enters the water. This is a natural thing that we as humans can try to stop at a point in time. Water pollution is a point and a non point source pollution in which we are a big factor of. The point source is the waste that we put into the water every day and the way we store the waste that we use. The non point source is like the sewage we dump and we know that we are doing it. One of the ways that we are putting waste into the water is being on the cruise ships. They are dumping the sewage, bath water, and the other material into the ocean. It is killing all of the food and making us sick on a day to day living. Water pollution is one of the worst things that we should ever let happen in the world. Most countries can’t drink or take baths in the water without boiling it first. The non living things that contribute to the cause of water pollution are all the things that we as humans make or use. The thing that we use in everyday living is a big part of the pollution problem. The living things that are affected by this are the people and animals that need the water to survive. People we need the water to do almost everything that we do when we get up in the morning. We have to drink this water, baths with it, and cook with it every day. We should be careful about the thing that we do and how we do it. The more that we pollute the water the more living things will die and our food supply will be cut out. Thermal pollution is the third one I’m going to talk about it occurs when water is used as a coolant near a power or industrial plant. The water is returned to the environment at a higher temperature than it was originally. Some plants treat the water before it is released back into the environment, but they forget to let it cool down before they release it back. Ecological pollution takes place when chemical pollution, organic pollution, or thermal pollution is cause by natural than by human activity. Water pollution is increasingly becoming a large problem that humans con confront. Water is the most valuable resource. Just think of how much humans dependent on clean water. Water is more valuable than gold, can we go a day, week, year without, gold or water? The fact is we drink the water, we use it irrigation for farm fields, cooking, washing clothes, flushing toilets, and industrial process requires water to function. The earth’s surface is covered by 70% water, why fuss of protect water? Only 3% of all water is fresh and drinkable and that 75% is frozen, which leaves a grand total of 1% of the Earth’s surface water is readily available for consumption. Taking the fact into account, one can see why the conservation and protection of our remaining water supply is vital. Water pollution can be stopped, sources of the pollution must be known. Solution is like people, each one is complex as well different. Every part time environmentalist can have a solution to any environmental problem ails this planet. That is not to say that they are always right. We as humans play a major part into what goes into the water and how it gets there. We might not think that we are doing it, but we are. I think that since we realize that we are doing it we can find a way to stop it. The first thing that we need to do is get the big wigs to join in, but before I get into that we are going to talk a little more about water pollution. I think that we can find a better way to store the waste that some of the plants are using. Conversely, are not always wrong either. The solution is the first part, making the solution a reality is second. Water pollution is a problem most everyone would agree does exist. Individuals can do a lot to help with the water pollution problems and aid in the water pollution solutions. By buying organic food and green household cleaners and personal care items to prevent the run off of chemical into ground water. Many pharmaceuticals are eliminated as possible and stay away from meats and the raising used of hormones and drugs. It is important to properly dispose of any paints and varnishes. To implement water pollution solutions is to use less plastics and plastic products and not to litter. Water pollution solutions are very affordable to put into effect. The Unite State research Council has estimated that to do initial clean-up of all contaminated groundwater is over 300,000 sites across the United States it will cost $1 trillion dollars over the course of thirty years. It would average out to 33 cents per person per day. To reestablishing wetlands is to act as a buffer zone to runoff and to assist in filtering pollutants. Less drive to reduce the amount of air pollution being emitted into the environment and minimize the amount of nitrogen deposition. To improve the sewage treatment system to stop the leaks in the pipes. Conserve water, improve storm water management. Monitor watershed. Stop deforestation to soak up the rain water and prevent runoff from occurring. The best water pollution solutions are simply to pressure our government officials here in the United States, to enforce the environmental protections already on the books. The laws is important, if the elected officials is not properly fund enforcement measures and these agencies with those individuals who is committed to protected the environment, and the laws isn’t worth the recycled paper it’s written on. If we can get the government to become a big part in the clean up then we will make a great impact on the world. We will just need the government to help fund the clean up and make sure that we wouldn’t have to do it again. I think that if the government make the law sick then we want have to reclean the water ever again. I think that the benefits will best suit the living things that use the water every day and need it to survive. We want get sick, need to boil it, and we want have to worry about what’s in it. We also want have to worry about the food that we get out of the water having something or dying off. The animals in the world won’t die off so quickly and they won’t have to find water to drink. I think that the challenges will be to get the government involve and the people involved. I think that the most that we will get out of them both is half and that will be a good start. For the most part will be to get the funding for the cleanup and a place to store all the waste that we get out of the water. When it is all said and done we will be able to see a new change in the water. We will be able to look clear through the water and see all the way to the bottom. I think that with the help of every one we can make this happen and at the end we can be ever proud of ourselves. I think that with all the planning and the solutions that we can make it happen before the year is out. It will take a lot of hard work and time, but as a big group we can make it all worth wide at the end. We should look at what this will mean to all living things and how much it will change the world. We can leave this and show the kids to come how beautiful the world can be. We can save many lives and protect the kids of the future America. It will be even better if I can get a least three hundred people from each country to help out right along with their government. The government plays a big part and I will make sure that they understand it to the fullest. I think that we can make a difference in the world if we just put our mind to it. We can’t let the water that we use every day continue to be like this and making us sick. We need to put our foot down and tell them no more with an attitude attached to it. We should take a stand and let the others know that we will not take it anymore. We need to tell them that it is time for a change and the change is now. We need to stand up as one and show the people who are polluting the waters that we will not take any more of this. We need to come up with a way to make this stick and make sure it is there to stay. I think that we can do it and get everyone involves to make this dream a reality for all those to come and the ones that are here to stay.

Civilization Vs Civilization - 1775 Words

William Golding was born in 1911 in Cornwall, England. In 1930 Golding attended Brasenose College to achieve a degree in science. After years of studying science William Golding decided to switch majors and study English Literature. At the beginning of World War II, Golding joined the Royal Navy, during his time in the Navy he saw the destruction humans can convey and how a normal person can go from a civilized human being to a savage. After the war, he went back to teaching and started writing his books again. His most famous novel Lord of the Flies was published in 1954. The events he saw at war made his associate the war with evil, which he put into Lord of the Flies (Golding.) Throughout the novel, Golding symbolized civilization in†¦show more content†¦Being civilized with morals is important because morals help strive for the best in society. Some of the morals were taught in school, tell the truth, be coragrous, do not cheat or judge and be trustworthy as as few examp les. (RUNON) Out of school, the morals still apply but the list can change. Examples are: self control, being accountable, being tolerant of differences, and having justice. With all these rules it acts like a punishment versus reward behavior. Local communities hold many morals or values that people can see and young ones can take as a good act, when in reality is not. All the institutions, and people in the world teach the morals and values that individuals and communities need. Cruelty and combat contradict civil morality and it is shown every day. Civilized people have their morals, but the people who are in power do not have the same morals that a middle class person would. The power of countries changes every day because of new people in charge.

Vaccines Are The Safest And Most Effective Way Children

For many years, vaccines have been implemented in the healthcare of Canadian infants and children. They are the best and safest way to prevent against many deadly illnesses that can be contracted in a person’s lifetime, such as measles, rubella, and polio. It has been the standard practice of many health care professionals, however many people are choosing to not have their children vaccinated. The anti-vaccine movement has caused many mothers and fathers to not have their children complete their recommended vaccinations. Many are given false information regarding immunization, therefore as pediatric nurses, it is essential to perform health teaching with parents to provide them with the proper information regarding vaccines. As nurses, we need to be sure families made aware that vaccines are the safest and most effective way children can be protected from a variety of deadly illness, remove any barriers families may face with getting their vaccines, and help families feel les s anxious when having their infant immunized. There are many factors contributing to the reasons why parents refuse to have their children vaccinated. In some instances, families can face barriers that prevent them from accessing the essential immunizations they need.

string(104) " could bear it no longer, and he moved to the settee himself, partially covering her with his own body\." What Jack saw took his breath away. â€Å"No one comes here but me,† Grace said softly. â€Å"I don’t know why. We will write a custom essay sample on The Lost Duke of Wyndham Chapter Eleven or any similar topic only for you Order Now † The light, the ripple through the air as the sun slid through the uneven glass of the ancient windows†¦ â€Å"In the winter especially,† she continued, her voice just a little hesitant, â€Å"it’s magic. I can’t explain it. I think the sun dips lower. And with the snow†¦Ã¢â‚¬  It was the light. It had to be. It was the way the light trembled, and fell on her. His heart clenched. Like a fist it hit him – this need, this overwhelming urge†¦He could not speak. He could not even begin to articulate it, but – â€Å"Jack?† she whispered, and it was just enough to break his trance. â€Å"Grace.† It was just one word, but it was a benediction. This went beyond desire, it was need. It was an indefinable, inexplicable, living, pulsing thing within him that could only be tamed by her. If he didn’t hold her, didn’t touch her in that very moment, something within him would die. To a man who tried to treat life as an endless series of ironies and witticisms, nothing could have been more terrifying. He reached out and roughly pulled her to him. He was not delicate, nor was he gentle. He couldn’t be. He couldn’t manage it, not now, not when he needed her so desperately. â€Å"Grace,† he said again, because that’s what she was to him. It was impossible that he’d known her but a day. She was his grace, his Grace, and it was like she had always been there within him, waiting for him to finally open his eyes and find her. His hands cupped her face. She was a priceless treasure, and yet he could not force himself to touch her with the reverence she deserved. Instead, his fingers were clumsy, his body rough and pounding. Her eyes – so clear, so blue – he thought he might drown in them. He wanted to drown in them, to lose himself within her and never leave. His lips touched hers, and then – of this he was certain – he was lost. There was nothing more for him but this woman, in this moment, maybe even for all his moments thereafter. â€Å"Jack,† she sighed. It was the first time all morning she’d used his name, and it sent waves of desire pulsing through his already taut body. â€Å"Grace,† he said in return, because he was afraid to say anything else, afraid that for the first time in his life his glib tongue would fail him, and his words would come out wrong. He’d say something and it would mean too little, or perhaps he’d say something and it would mean too much. And then she would know, if by some miracle she did not already, that she had bewitched him. He kissed her hungrily, passionately, with all the fire within him. His hands slid down her back, memorizing the gentle slope of her spine, and when he reached the more lush curves of her bottom, he could not help it – he pressed her more firmly against him. He was aroused, and wound more tightly than he’d ever imagined possible, and all he could think – if he was thinking at all – was that he needed her close, closer. Whatever he could get, whatever he could have – right now he would take it. â€Å"Grace,† he said again, one of his hands moving to the spot where her dress touched her skin, just at her collarbone. She flinched at his touch, and he stilled, barely able to imagine how he would tear himself away. But her hand covered his, and she whispered, â€Å"I was surprised.† It was only then that he once again breathed. Fingers shaking, he traced the delicately scalloped edge of her bodice. Her pulse seemed to leap beneath his touch, and never in his life had he been so aware of a single sound – the quiet rasp of air, brushing across her lips. â€Å"You are so beautiful,† he whispered, and the amazing thing was that he was not even looking at her face. It was merely her skin, the pale, milky hue of it, the soft blush of pink that followed his fingers. Softly, gently, he bowed his head and brushed his lips along the hollow at the base of her throat. She gasped then, or maybe it was a moan, and her head slowly fell back in silent agreement. Her arms were around him and her hands in his hair, and then, without even considering what it meant, he swept her into his arms and carried her across the room, to the low, wide settee that sat near the window, bathed in the magical sunlight that had seduced them both. For a moment, kneeling at her side, he could do nothing but look at her, then one of his trembling hands reached forth to stroke her cheek. She was staring up at him, and in her eyes there was wonder, and anticipation, and yes, a little nervousness. But there was also trust. She wanted him. Him. No one else. She had never been kissed before, of that he was certain. She could have done. Of that he was even more certain. A woman of Grace’s beauty did not reach her age without having refused (or rebuffed) multiple advances. She had waited. She had waited for him. Still kneeling beside her, he bent to kiss her, his hand moving down the side of her face to her shoulder, then to her hip. His passion grew deeper, and hers, too; she was returning his kiss with an unschooled eagerness that left him breathless with desire. â€Å"Grace, Grace,† he moaned, his voice lost in the warmth of her mouth. His hand found the hem of her dress and then slid under, grasping the slender circle of her ankle. And then up†¦up†¦to her knee. And higher. Until he could bear it no longer, and he moved to the settee himself, partially covering her with his own body. You read "The Lost Duke of Wyndham Chapter Eleven" in category "Essay examples" His lips had moved to her neck, and he felt her sharply indrawn breath on his cheek. But she did not say no. She did not cover his hand with hers and bring him to a stop. She did nothing but whisper his name and arch her hips beneath him. She couldn’t have known what the movement had meant, could never have known what it would do to him, but that ever-so-slight pressure beneath him, rising up against his own desire, brought him to the very peak of need. He kissed his way down her neck, to the gentle swell of her breast, his lips finding the very spot at the edge of her bodice that his fingers had so recently traveled. He lifted himself away from her, just a bit, just enough so he could slide his finger under the hem and slide it down, or maybe push her up – whichever was needed to free her to his devotion. But just when his hand had moved toward his destination, just when he’d had one glorious second to cup the fullness of her, skin to skin, the stiff edge peaking in his palm, she cried out. Softly, with surprise. And dismay. â€Å"No, I can’t.† With jerky movements she scrambled to her feet, righting her dress. Her hands were shaking. More than shaking. They seemed filled with a foreign, nervous energy, and when he looked in her eyes, it was as if a knife had pierced him. It was not revulsion, it was not fear. What he saw was anguish. â€Å"Grace,† he said, moving toward her. â€Å"What is wrong?† â€Å"I’m sorry,† she said, stepping back. â€Å"I – I shouldn’t have. Not now. Not until – † One of her hands flew up to cover her mouth. â€Å"Not until†¦? Grace? Not until what?† â€Å"I’m sorry,† she said again, confirming his belief that those were the worst two words in the English language. She bobbed a quick, perfunctory curtsy. â€Å"I must go.† And then she ran from the room, leaving him quite alone. He stared at the empty doorway for a full minute, trying to figure out just what had happened. And it was only when he finally stepped into the hall that he realized he hadn’t a clue how to get back to his bedchamber. Grace dashed through Belgrave, half walking, half skipping†¦running†¦whatever it was she needed to do to reach her room with the most equal balance of dignity and speed. If the servants saw her – and she couldn’t imagine they didn’t; they seemed positively everywhere this morning – they must have wondered at her distress. The dowager would not expect her. Surely she would think she was still showing Mr. Audley the house. Grace had at least an hour before she might need to show her face. Dear God, what had she done? If she had not finally remembered herself, remembered who he was, and who he might be, she would have let him continue. She’d wanted it. She’d wanted it with a fervor that had shocked her. When he’d taken her hand, when he’d pulled her to him, he awakened something within her. No. It had been awakened two nights earlier. On that moonlit night, standing outside the carriage, something had been born within her. And now†¦ She sat upon her bed, wanting to bury herself in the covers but instead just sitting there, staring at the wall. There was no going back. One couldn’t ever not have been kissed once the deed was done. With a nervous breath, maybe even a frantic laugh, she covered her face with her hands. Could she possibly have chosen anyone less suitable with whom to fall in love? Not that this was the measure of her feelings, she hastened to reassure herself, but she was not so much of a fool that she could not recognize her leanings. If she let herself†¦If she let him†¦ She would fall in love. Good heavens. Either he was a highwayman, and now she was destined to be the consort of an outlaw, or he was the true Duke of Wyndham, which meant – She laughed because really, this was funny. It had to be funny. If it wasn’t funny, then it could only be tragic, and she didn’t think she could manage that just now. Wonderful. Perhaps she was falling in love with the Duke of Wyndham. Now that was appropriate. Let’s see, how many ways was this a disaster? He was her employer, for one, he owned the house in which she lived, and his rank was so far above hers as to be nearly immeasurable. And then there was Amelia. She and Thomas certainly did not suit, but she had every right to expect that she would be the Duchess of Wyndham upon her marriage. Grace could not imagine how crass and overreaching she would appear to the Willoughbys – her good friends – if she were seen to be throwing herself at the new duke. Grace closed her eyes and touched the tips of her fingers to her lips. If she breathed deeply enough she almost relaxed. And she could almost still feel his presence, his touch, the warmth of his skin. It was awful. It was wonderful. She was a fool. She lay down, let out a long, weary breath. Funny how she’d hoped for change, for something to break the monotony of her days attending to the dowager. Life was a mocking sort of thing, wasn’t it? And love†¦ Love was the cruelest joke of all. â€Å"Lady Amelia is here to see you, Miss Eversleigh.† Grace jolted upright, blinking furiously. She must have fallen asleep. She could not recall the last time she had done so at midday. â€Å"Lady Amelia?† she echoed, surprised. â€Å"With Lady Elizabeth?† â€Å"No, miss,† the maid informed her. â€Å"She is alone.† â€Å"How curious.† Grace sat up, flexing her feet and hands to awaken her body. â€Å"Please tell her I shall be right there.† She waited for the maid to depart, then went to her small mirror to straighten her hair. It was worse than she’d feared, although she could not be certain whether it had been mussed in sleep or by Mr. Audley. She felt her skin flush at the memory, and she groaned at that. Gathering her determination, she repinned her hair and left the room, walking as briskly as she could, as if speed and a set of squared shoulders could keep all of her worries at bay. Or at the very least, make her look as if she did not care. It did seem odd that Amelia would come to Belgrave without Elizabeth. Grace did not know that she had ever done so before. Certainly not to see her. Grace wondered if her original intention had been to call upon Thomas, who was, as far as she knew, still out. She hurried down the stairs, then turned to make for the front drawing room. But she’d not taken more than a dozen steps before someone grabbed her arm and yanked her into a side room. â€Å"Thomas!† she exclaimed. It was indeed he, somewhat haggard and sporting a nasty bruise under his left eye. His appearance was a shock; she had never seen him looking so rumpled before. His shirt was wrinkled, his cravat missing, and his hair had most definitely not been styled a la Brutus. Or even a la human. And then there were his eyes, which were most uncharacteristically red-rimmed. â€Å"What happened to you?† He put a finger to his lips and shut the door. â€Å"Were you expecting someone else?† he asked, and her cheeks grew warm. Indeed, when she’d felt a strong male hand close around her arm and pull, she had assumed it was Mr. Audley, trying to steal a kiss. Her flush grew deeper as she realized she had been disappointed to realize that it was not. â€Å"No, of course not,† she said quickly, even though she suspected he knew she was lying. She quickly glanced around the room to see if they were alone. â€Å"What is wrong?† â€Å"I needed to speak with you before you see Lady Amelia.† â€Å"Oh, then you know she is here?† â€Å"I brought her,† he confirmed. Her eyes widened. That was news. He had been out all night and was considerably worse for the wear. She glanced at a nearby clock. It was not yet even noon. When could he have collected Amelia? And where? And why? â€Å"It is a long story,† he said, clearly to cut her off before she could ask any questions. â€Å"But suffice it to say, she will inform you that you were in Stamford this morning, and you invited her back to Belgrave.† Her brows rose. If he was asking her to lie, it was very serious, indeed. â€Å"Thomas, any number of people know quite well that I was not in Stamford this morning.† â€Å"Yes, but her mother is not among that number.† Grace wasn’t sure if she should be shocked or delighted. Had he compromised Amelia? Why else would they need to lie to her mother? â€Å"Er, Thomas†¦Ã¢â‚¬  she began, unsure of how to proceed. â€Å"I feel I must tell you, given the number of delays thus far, I would imagine that Lady Crowland would be delighted to know – â€Å" â€Å"Oh for God’s sake, it is nothing like that,† he muttered. â€Å"Amelia assisted me home when I was† – he blushed then. Blushed! Thomas! – â€Å"impaired.† Grace bit her lip to keep from smiling. It was quite remarkable what a pleasant image that was – Thomas allowing himself to be anything less than perfectly composed. â€Å"That was most charitable of her,† she said, perhaps a little too primly. But really, it couldn’t be helped. He glared at her, which only made it more difficult to maintain an even face. She cleared her throat. â€Å"Have you, er, considered tidying up?† â€Å"No,† he snapped, â€Å"I rather enjoy looking like a slovenly fool.† Grace winced at that. â€Å"Now listen,† he continued, looking terribly determined. â€Å"Amelia will repeat what I have told you, but it is imperative that you not tell her about Mr. Audley.† â€Å"I would never do that,† Grace said quickly. â€Å"It is not my place.† â€Å"Good.† â€Å"But she will want to know why you were, er†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Oh, dear, how to put it politely? â€Å"You don’t know why,† he said firmly. â€Å"Just tell her that. Why would she suspect that you would know more?† â€Å"She knows that I consider you a friend,† Grace said. â€Å"And furthermore, I live here. Servants always know everything. She knows that.† â€Å"You’re not a servant,† he muttered. â€Å"I am and you know it,† she replied, almost amused. â€Å"The only difference is that I am allowed to wear finer clothing and occasionally converse with the guests. But I assure you, I am privy to all of the household gossip.† For several seconds he did nothing but stare, as if waiting for her to laugh and say, Only joking! Finally he muttered something under his breath that she was quite certain she was not meant to understand (and indeed she did not; servants’ gossip was occasionally risque, but it was never profane). â€Å"For me, Grace,† he said, his eyes boring into hers, â€Å"will you please just tell her you don’t know?† It was the closest she had ever heard him come to begging, and it left her disoriented and acutely uncomfortable. â€Å"Of course,† she said quickly. â€Å"You have my word.† He nodded briskly. â€Å"Amelia will be expecting you.† â€Å"Yes. Yes, of course.† Grace hurried to the door, but when her hand touched the knob, she found she was not quite ready to go. She turned around, taking one last look at his face. He was not himself. No one could blame him; it had been a most extraordinary two days. But still, it worried her. â€Å"Will you be all right?† she asked. And immediately regretted that she had done so. His face seemed to move, and twist, and she could not be sure if he was going to laugh or cry. But she did know that she did not want to be witness to either. â€Å"No, don’t answer that,† she mumbled, and she ran from the room.

Question: Discuss about the Executive Mobile Computing. Answer: Introduction Victoriapool is basically an android application in which it has been developed in order to improvise on the aspect of the transport system of the individuals who are travelling to the Victoria University as well as the university which are nearby the University of the Sydney CBD (Conti and Giordano, 2014). In regards to this application it has been majorly been designed in order to compile on the details of the individuals who have been living in the similar location as well as tracking of the individuals who may not travel with them to the destination which they may desire (UGIC, 2017). The main aspect functionality of this application is mainly to connect individuals who are travelling to the same destination. The main interface which have been incorporated in the development of this application is the HTML, as well as the JavaScript (UWA, 2016). This application uses the element regarded as the carpooling which there is sharing of the expenses between the users hence lowering on the cost of travelling expenses. Status of the document In this strategy document it is the initial one, the changes will need to be made in the future. It purpose is for the consultation purposes. The scope of the strategy This application intends to improvise on the transport system so that it become cheaper for individual to travel to the Victoria University as well as the nearby Universities. The overall aim of the strategy This application intends to solve on the issue of transport system, whereby it would become cheap to travel within the Victoria University and other University within the CBD. Timescale for the strategy The development of making this strategy it would take a period of one year until its full development and all the necessary logistics have been implemented. After that to full address of this strategy it would take three years. Constraints of the strategy Just like any other application it would encounter some constraints especially on the aspect of the network. It would need to be coordinated with the other regional network to enable it to be operational. Development process The individual who is leading on the development of this strategy is the network manager, of my team in which I was assigned. Other individuals involved are the programmer who would code using HTML and the JavaScript. To date the thing undertaken has been the initial outlay of what the application would look it and the provision of the data flow diagram representing the flow of the logic in the application (Bresnahan and Greenstein, 2014). The service users have also been involved in that at the stage of development we consulted on the type of services they offer so that the application will be inclined to their services. Stakeholders analysis The stakeholders have been identified based on the target market. There are two target market for this application; the VU students and the VU Faculties. On the VU students, there are friends of friends, and other universities friends close to the Sydney CBD stakeholders. On the VU faculties there are other university which are close to the Sydney CBD. These individuals are involved in how contributing on some of the issue affecting them and how they could be addressed through the use of the application (UGIC, 2017). Each of the good has perceived that the application will help them through increase of the social community, reduction of travel cost and improves on the stress on driving for the long distance.
