How much education does a student need to receive a good job? The business world changes so much that a person is not able to keep up with the education that goes along. In the article it gives you the idea that a person can graduate from college and then in five years, what they learned is not used any more. Business changes so much it is hard to tell what the future will do. Researches think that students need to learn different skills to help them out in the work place. The purpose of the study was to find out what database competencies are important for a job in the business field. Also, how do the experts rate the competencies that are giving to them?
The researchers sent out questionnaires to teachers who use or teach database classes. The questionnaires were made up from different resources that had extensive study on the background. The researchers sent them out by e-mail to all chosen participants. The participants were asked if they would mind being part of the study and if so e-mail them back. The study would consist of three parts all three parts would consist of participants communicating with the researchers.
The first part the participants had to rate the competencies of database material. The researchers sent out 64 competencies and the participants could delete and add any to the list. Part two consisted of revaluating their pervious work. The participants could make changes if they felt it was appropriate. The researchers sent out information again to have participants complete three rounds of study.
The study showed the competencies that the participants thought were important. The researchers took the range from all of the participants. It scored them from one to six. Six is the highest and one is low and the participants did not spend much time teaching it or thought it needs to be taught. Save the database file, enter records into databases, and review, edit, and delete database files were some that scored a six.
The conclusion showed that people with interest in the business field should be aware of data base software and database management systems.
My opponents argue that a business is when “goods and services are exchanged for one another or for money” (WebFinance, 2016, para 1). Although, the exchange is undocumented and does

...the undergrads to read a methodology section from the previously mentioned study several days earlier before initiating the baseline data collections. Additionally, written descriptions and outlines of the assessment were read. The participants then collected the baseline data. Afterword, a quiz and feedback were given and a second baseline was conducted.
The Count is the benchmark of the vampire archetype as the monstrous Other that “announces itself as the place of corruption” (Anolik and Howard 1). Dracula is associated with disruption and transgression of accepted limits—a monstrosity of great evil that serves to guarantee the existence of good (Punter and Byron 231). The “Otherness” Dracula possess reinforces our own norms and beliefs through his transgression that separates him from society and the polarity to Western norms and ideals makes him an effective device for extorting revulsion and horror. Stoker’s novel employs Gothic tradition, providing “the principle embodiments and evocations of cultural anxieties” from which the very Gothic mood and horror is produced, establishing the baseline used to distinguish the modern vampires, as part of vampire mythology within the Gothic (Botting Aftergothic
A database management system, or DBMS, gives the user access to their data and helps them transform the data into information. Such database management systems include dBase, Paradox, IMS, and Oracle. These systems allow users to create, update, and extract information from their databases. Compared to a manual filing system, the biggest advantages to a computerized database system are speed, accuracy, and accessibility.
First, in a recent article an executive director of Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights emphasizes the issue of the unsafe environment of sex workers and their violation of human rights. The health and safety of all people is crucial in Canada, the Bedford case placed a huge discrepancy with the government not giving these rights to sex workers. When Bill C-36, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act became the new revised law, it was seen by many as flawed. It does not give sex workers the rights they deserve and does not comply with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Prasad, 2017). If anything, this new law creates a greater barrier for sex workers to sell sex safely. Furthermore, by restricting individuals from purchasing sex, it pushes them to the subsurface rather than having them access safety mechanisms. The Social Science evidence from Canada and throughout the world, emphasize the idea that the sex industry is being pushed into the shadows due to the criminalization of the profession (Prasad, 2017). Second, another recent article by Rick Vanderlinde claims that the oldest profession – prostitution, is being hidden behind closed doors more than ever. Although this is true, the misconception is that “the public thinks it’s illegal but it’s not” (Prasad, 2017). Moreover, there is obviously a confusion with society thinking it is illegal, but they cannot be blamed because it is not being addressed properly. This article depicts Bill C-36, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, as an unchanged law, rather, it proves the issue of the sex industry going into the subsurface. The internet is a platform where you can find sex workers advertising their services, which is legal because it immunizes sex workers to advertise their services,
As mentioned above, will be using the qualitative data analysis, in which would be conducting interviews with managers. The interview data would need to be transcribed, documented and collated. A detailed written description would be prepared for each interview by reference to the interview themes outlined.

Prostitution is highly controversial, many claiming that the legalization would lead to more prostitution, which would therefore be a larger disgrace to society. Furthermore, an essay written by Janice G. Raymond, titled “Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution.” This essay brings down ten legitimate reasons as to why prostitution should not be legalized, citing failed attempts in Australia and the Netherlands. The immoralities of these laws shine when, upon closer examination, the laws regard the prostitutes as mere sexual objects for profit to benefit the economy. However, as these faults are recognized, places like Amsterdam begin to alter their laws regarding prostitutions, making them more strict in an attempt to make prostitution safer. Still, organized and regulated legalized prostitution could lead to world reform in the sex trade.
Individuals who has a college level education are employed at higher rates and with greater consistency. Those people with less than a high school degree are more than three times as likely to be unemployed compared to a bachelor degree recipients.
Due to the changing economy, the employability of graduates has become a key issue. The employers have been involved in numerous researches demonstrating the other attributes which they prefer that are not job specific namely the interpersonal, organization and behavioral skills. This is the major reason why the higher education institutes have been emphasizing on providing education in a manner that the employability skills could be incorporated. Employers
In our world, people rely heavily on the power of technology every day. Kids are learning how to operate an iPad before they can even say their first word. School assignments have become virtual, making it possible to do anywhere in the world. We can receive information from across the world in less than a second with the touch of a button. Technology is a big part of our lives, and without it life just becomes a lot harder. Just like our phones have such an importance to us in our daily lives, database management systems are the same for businesses. Without this important software, it would be almost impossible for companies to complete simple daily tasks with such ease.
