Barclays’ Internal and External Customers :: Business Management Studies

Barclays’ Internal and External Customers Barclays offers a wide range of services to both internal and external customers. Internal customers are member of staff/colleagues that work in an organisation. Examples of internal customers in Barclays include: Small Business Managers, Customer Relations Team, telephone operators, Financial Planning Managers, Customer Service staff, Counter staff, Accountants, Consumer Relations Team, and Relationship Managers. External customers are the majority of individuals who lives in the local areas. Examples of external customers of Barclays include: disabled people, elderly, foreign people, parents, couples, widows, divorcees and students (from schools, colleges, and universities). Internal customers Barclays has number of internal customers who works for them, and also does banking with them. About 5% of accounts belong to Barclays’ staff. It is very important for Barclays to have internal customers because, without them, the financial organisation will have difficulties to meet the needs of external customers. For example, if you image the organisation as an iceberg, only 1/10th is above the water (the external customer), but 9/10th is hidden below the water (internal customers) which, is supporting external customers. This good example of importance of internal customers was extracted from the following website: www.citysun.ac.uk/newonline/customercare/task1/intro.htm. So, if you remove the bottom half of the iceberg (internal customers), top half of the iceberg (the external customer) will sink- in the other words, the whole organisation will come to an end. It is important for Barclays to treat their internal customers in the same way, as they treat their external customers. The advantages of having internal customers to employees: * Better working conditions * Better job satisfaction * Less stress * Having the ‘feel good’ factor * Being part of a good working team The advantages of having internal customers to the organisation: * Less waste and stoppages * Improved communications * A happier workforce * Fewer problems * Increased customer loyalty * Better service to external customers The advantages of having internal customers to the external customers: * A higher, sustained level of service * Faster responses times * Knows that the organisation cares As a result, internal customer care is based on good manners, knowing where your job fits in, working efficiently with colleagues, working as a member of a team, and respecting colleagues’ needs and rights. Organisations, such as Barclays believe that, there are three kinds of attitudes and behaviours towards colleagues that would be essential for quality internal customer care: 1. Caring for colleagues- this would include: making individuals feel good- this will help them to work better, they would become more cooperative, responding reasonably to their needs, and accepting a sense of shared responsibility 2. Cooperating with colleagues- this would include: can get things

Psyche and Cupid

Relations and origin Though concerning gods and goddesses, Apuleius' Cupid and Psyche was generally relegated to the status of a â€Å"mere† folktale, or in English a fairy tale or in German Marchen. Though a common oral genre found world wide, it is not generally cons William Adlington's idered classical literature. Only with Charles Perrault's Mother Goose Tales and following popularity of other such collections in 17th century did folk tales become recognized in Europe as a legitimate literary genre. Later adaptations English translation of 1566 is excellent reading and for some is still the definitive English translation. In my research, I found some similarities between the modern day story of Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Cupid and Psyche. These similarities, some of which seem rather obvious, can be quite vague also. The myth, as you know tells the tale of a beautiful woman, Psyche and the prophecy of her life as told be the oracle. The story, although seemingly interesting, brings a dismay in my mind because of the lack of it being completely relevant to the story ofCupid and Psyche. As far as characters go, Belle, or Beauty, is compared to Psyche and the beast, although not a beast himself, is parallel to Cupid. The servants in both stories are somewhat the same in the respect that they offer to serve Psyche, or Belle in any way she wishes†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦ Long have stories and media been devoted to tales of a beauty ‘taming' a beast, †¦ Psyche and Eros and Beauty and the Beast had similar situations in their †¦ Gender Differences & Similarities are to reconcile the many levels which †¦ he discusses the tension in human consciousness between Eros and Psyche. Both tales take on an animal-husbandry theme of sorts, although in the case of Eros and Psyche, it is the fear of a bestial husband, while in Beauty and the Beast, there is one in actuality. Psyche embraces a husband that she is not allowed to view after having previously been led to believe that she was to be killed and carried off by a demon. When she later tells her sisters of her husban d’s secret identity, out of jealousy they implant ideas in her head that he indeed is this demon that she had been warned about, and encourage her to kill him. She goes on of course to discover that he is not a demon, but the god Eros when she moves to strike him, but at that point her mistrust and curiosity cause him to leave her. Beauty knows of the Beast’s animalistic characteristics and begins fearing him There are many other interesting contrasts. It also leads to Beauty getting her happy ending without all the suffering that Psyche goes on to endure before getting hers. Beauty goes to give her life in exchange for her father's freedom, and Psyche is sent to the mountain that Eros eventually carries her away from after her father is ordered by a god to send her there. Psyche and Beauty are both sent on the road that leads to their â€Å"beasts† in very funeral-like processions. That is, of course, totally different from the cruel suffering that is going to await Psyche. The scene's tone also leads us to anticipate the joy that Beast's transformation will soon bring Beauty, whose happiness will be as great as her momentary depression. Of course, the angst of the scene where Beauty discovers the dying Beast shows us Beauty's true love for him, sharply contrasting Psyche's fearful suspicions. Young, beautiful maidens sent toward their lovers in such a fashion has to be about the theme of lost virginity. Beauty is rewarded with a lavish wedding, the beast taking the form of the prince who resided in her dreams, and a visit from her family for â€Å"having the courage to rescue [the beast] from the terrible enchantment,† (Cole, Page 23); and Psyche was made immortal in reward for fulfilling the horrid tasks that Aphrodite asked of her. In conclusion we see that time and region do not necessarily dictate a change in theme, even if the individual factors within the theme are changed. Psyche and Eros and Beauty and the Beast had similar situations in their stories and dealt with them in quite different ways. Beauty held back her feelings because of appearances, only to discover that the Beast was who she truly wanted all along. Similarly, the beast changing back into a prince does not have the same ring to it as Eros' escape, which he does only after waiting long enough to tell Psyche â€Å"I told you so. Psyche let hers develop too soon by being led by her curiosity, while Beauty delayed accepting the truth (that the man in her dreams was the one before her), until it was almost too late. http://www. megaessays. com/viewpaper/61042. html dop2001 mega essays LLC TITLE:Eros/Psyche vs Beauty/Beast What is the author's purpose for writing Cupid and Psyche? Here is a brief summary of the story.? People started neglecting Venus for the beautiful Psyche so Venus asked her son, Cupid, to make Psyche fall in love with the vilest man on earth, but he would not do it for he had fallen in love with Psyche. The parents of Psyche became worried because their beautiful daughter had not yet been married so they went to ask Apollo for help. He told them to place her on top of a summit alone where someone â€Å"stronger than the gods themselves, would come to her and make her his wife. The parents did so and later when she was asleep she was carried from the summit to a river where she awoke to find a beautiful palace. In the palace she heard voices, her husband, telling her that later on her sisters would be coming and to not let them see him otherwise â€Å"you will bring great sorrow upon me and ruin to yourself† but the next day when her sisters came they became so envious of her good fortune that they worked on a plot to destroy Psyche, telling her to destroy her husband for he was a monster. Later that evening, Psyche went to the bed of her husband, lit a lamp and saw that he was not a monster, but the God of Love and as she bent over his bed some oil from the lamp burned his shoulder, he awoke and fled away bidding his farewell and saying there can not be love where there is no trust. Psyche was determined to find her love so she went to Venus and gave herself as a servant jealous Venus made her do horrible tasks. One of the tasks she had to retrieve beauty from Persephone, but curios Psyche opened the box and fell into a deep sleep. Cupid now healed and still in love with Psyche took away the sleep and asked Zeus to make her immortal so she could be his bride. Zeus did so and Cupid and Psyche were married. 1. Psyche was married to a god, but she herself was mortal, so she was bound by certain rules in her approach to the god ( the superior male). She broke the rules, driven by human desires, and thus hurt his divinity. Here is the conflict between the divine and the profane(human). It is significant fact that the embodiment of the pure mind( psyche) happens to break the rules against the embodiment of love (feeling), and to hurt him. . The ordeals Psyche has to overcome in order to retrieve the love of Cupid (Eros), appear later in many other fairy tales bearing the motive â€Å"In search for the lost husband†. Here the most important one is the symbolic death and rebirth of Psyche, represented by the decent to the kingdom of the dead and her sleep, from which she is awaken by the power of love. She must die as an imperfect human with her human weaknesses to be able to become a true wife of the deity. Note that Psyche is perfect outside, but imperfect inside. The author implies to our human imperfectness and the role of love to overcome it. Eros. The sign position of the Asteroid, Eros, can reveal some of our erotic turn-on, as well as the level of our erotic nature. EROS IN TAURUS Here Eros has little interest in the aggressive ardency of Aries. Taurus is not responsive to getting up at 6 a. m. to do fifty laps at the pool and he would rather not have to compete with anyone to get what he wants. Eros has a different orientation in this sign, namely, an orientation towards pleasure. That means pure and natural, undiluted personal and sensual gratification. This pleasure-seeking eye of the bull is ever on the niceties of sensuality whether they be in the dinning room, on the massage table or in a king size bed. He finds joy in tangible pursuits that revolve around making the body feel good as well as the pleasure of acquisition. Taurus can also become ferociously possessive of those pleasures in an extremely dogmatic way. PSYCHE Psyche Sign describes your characteristics based on the placement of the asteroid Psyche in your natal chart. Along with the sun sign and moon sign, the Psyche sign also helps you understand yourself better. Psyche in Greek means â€Å"Soul†. This has given rise to a most unconventional kind of astrology. The name has come from Greek mythology where the stories are about evil fathers, jealous women and prince charming. Psyche stands for everything related to love, passion, jealousy and our inner self. This asteroid tells us a lot about ourselves and our journey through life. It gives us an aim to know our soul and mind better and know where we stand today. It tells us about what we expect from our partners and what we crave for in a relationship. PSYCHE IN CANCER: Tend to take on nurturing roles, not necessarily with everyone, but definitely with their lover. They will go out of their way to make partner happy. Psyche , What is the theme/moral/message ? Don't let outside influences affect your relationship with another person†¦ or the trust in between you. Cupid and Psyche is a story of love, truth and redemption. For the Greeks its purpose was to emphasize the importance of truthfulness and also to show that redemption can be obtained through hard work and humility. I suppose you could also say there is a lesson in there about the futility of jealousy (like that displayed by Aphrodite and Psyche's sisters), or simply that love can overcome any obstacle. Eros and Psyche is an allegory of the mystical love of the soul (Psyche) for the divine. In some myths Eros was the first God or ‘Protogenoi' from which all creation sprang. The soul (psyche) seeks to return to it's divine source (Eros/God) through mystical love. Psychology actually first started with its original meaning – the study of the soul that is why it is called as psychology. Why? In the early times, philosophers would like to explain why people behave this or that way and since they attribute human behavior with the soul, they try to study the soul instead of behavior. In addition to this, their findings includes that dead people no longer think, work or do anything, Therefore if the person is dead he has no soul. If there is no soul man cannot think and behave the way he is supposed to be and so on ans so forth. This is to give due consideration that in the past the focus of attention is on philosophy (logic specifically) and psychology evolved from it when they found out that it is a different kind of science. http://answers. yahoo. com/search/search_result;_ylt=AkbtFb6mKbWNQjRbX4HxZ1kjzKIX;_ylv=3? eywords_filter=all&p=psyche+and+eros&keywords_search=+Search+Answers Help on ancient Greece love stories 2003 Ramona Bryce Sometimes referred to as Cupid by Roman writers and translators.

Venus had never liked Psyche, so the opportunity of putting her to a series of tests gave Venus a chance to demand the seemingly impossible. In order for Psyche to win back her husband, Cupid, Venus set 4 seemingly impossible tasks before Psyche: 1. sorting out a huge pile of seeds 2. etrieving the Golden Fleece, 3. filling a flask from the water that fills the River Styx, and 4. returning from the Underworld with a box of the beauty ointment of Proserpina (aka Persephone).

The Decline Of The Nuclear Family - 1084 Words

â€Å"The Decline of the Nuclear Family† In 1970, 40% of couples were married with children. 2013 marked a new low as only 19% of household were married with children. A nuclear family is usually described as a heterosexual marriage with the average of 2.5 children, became synonymous with the American dream philosophy in the mid-1940s. The nuclear family standard is rapidly on the decline in the United States. These declining number have a range of causes. The causes of the decline of the nuclear family are cohabitation, childfree couples, high divorces rates, and the introduction of LGBTQ families. The effects are increased self-fulfillment, serial monogamy, childhood psychological trauma and family diversity. Gay and lesbian marriages†¦show more content†¦Today, alternative long-term relationships are growing in times in heterosexual and LGBTQ relationships. Cohabitation is defined by â€Å"Recent Changes in Family Structure† as quote: â€Å"an intimate relationship that includes a common living place and which exists without the benefit of legal, cultural, or religious sanction.† Between 2005 and 2009 2/3 of relationships approximately were preceded by cohabitation (â€Å"Rise of Cohabitation† 2014.) This arrangement is less committed and therefore it takes longer to end, without much emotional devastation of a pricey divorces. Most marriages still begin with cohabitation. However, it is becoming less and less likely that cohabitation will end in a marriage.

This is evident why it is killing the nuclear family standard.

Colorectal Cancer The Third Most Common Cancer - 901 Words

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world, with nearly 1.4 million new cases diagnosed in 2012. Almost 55% of the cases occur in more developed regions. About 95% of those diagnosed are adenocarcinomas, malignant tumors that form from glandular structures of the epithelial tissues, and mortality is primarily due to hepatic metastasis. It is predicted that by 2035, there will be 2.4 million cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed annually worldwide. http://www.wcrf.org/int/cancer-facts-figures/data-specific-cancers/colorectal-cancer-statistics No major breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of metastatic CRC , many new therapies failing to improve 5-year survival rates. Conventional chemotherapy efficiently targets tumor bulk, however, a small subpopulation of cells, known as cancer stem cells (CSCs), contribute to resistance to therapy, tumor regrowth and relapse. These CSCs have been shown to be responsible for the initiation and maintenance of tumors, as well as chemotherapeutic resistance and cancer recurrence. Accordingly, targeting this group of cells has become a major key to improve the treatment of CRC. Salinomycin is a polyether antibiotic used in chicken fodder as an antiprotozoal agent that acts upon Coccidia parasites.

We had a chance to watch the whales in the ocean. I had desired to watch the whales in Juneau. I was so excited that I almost dropped my telescope into the deep, blue water. I could see a whale flipping in the water. It plashed the waves with its huge, flat tail and dived into the water. The captain drove the boat closer to the whales. One of them Jumped out in a curved position. As it dived into the water, its tails waved back and forth. Water was splashed out on the top of a blue whale’s head. Looking there from the telescope, it looked like a fountain. This trip was extra-entertaining because I went dog sledding with the huskies. I remember the cold day when snow was falling from the sky, piling up on the ground. My parents and I went to a snow-covered mountain at Skagway. We went there by helicopter. The dog-sledding part was so entertaining. At first I held on to the handles steadily, but soon I became bored. I stuck my feet into the snow. I didn’t notice it when the musher speeded up the sled. I fell on my belly. I held on to the handles with my hand and screamed. It was an enjoyable experience even though I got myself totally wet. Another beauty of this trip is that I went to Alaska by cruise. Sometimes on a vacation, I would want to sit back and rest. The cruise provided dfferent shows and exercises for us. Basically every night I went to watch a show or a concert. There was a pool on the 12th deck. I could go swimming any time I wanted to. The freezing cold water penetrated me, but I still went swimming once a while. I had a relaxing time on board. This trip was absolutely enjoyable. I never had such a trip that satisfied me. I’ll never forget the excitement of whale watching, dog sledding and the relaxing time on board. This is definitely the best trip ever!

Essay about Food Inc Eating Organically Essay Example For Students

Essay about Food Inc: Eating Organically Essay I will be writing in my book report on Food Inc about how the food industry is not really telling us what is in our food and how we don’t know much about the food we buy and eat. I was in shock because I try to avoid eating junk food or fast food, and after reading the book I realize I could still be eating junk food, if I don’t learn more about what I am buying. I will be writing about how the food industry can get away with murder and not have to pay for it. Also on how the government is not regulating them as they should. How information is being with help from us, and how we are kept in the dark, for their benefit. How our farmers are treated and how the use of high levels of pesticides to which they are exposed to and their families affects them. The conditions in what they work in sometimes with no access to water or shade. And finally how we can get out of the routine and rut we are in, and how to educate ourselves to eat well and be healthier, and what we need to do to make a change. Food Inc started while researching California’s Strawberry industry, it was investigation piece about how illegal immigrants the transformation of California agriculture, the exploitation of poor migrant workers. Which with more investigation he learned, so much that he decided to write Fast Food Nation which also triggered Food Inc. He felt like there was a whole new world behind the counter that had been deliberately hidden from us.

You would think they would like to take of the people that are making them rich. We find o. .inually raise the bar by adding in extra nutrition, there will be less bad stuff on the market and less strain on our environment. Eating organic maybe a little bit more money but isn’t it smart way to go it is the solution to society’s ills. It’s sensible farm policy and helps with healthcare, you eat better, you are better, it can stabilize fuel prices and reduce our dependence to foreign oil, and it can lead to true national security. Five questions to ask yourself to see if you have reduced your â€Å"FoodPrint†. Is the food organic? Is this product made from an animal? Has this food been processed? How far did this food travel to reach my plate? Is this food excessively packaged? So we want to be world changers, we want to get involve ask questions about the food and where it’s from and how its grown, how are the farmers treated. Get educated about your food!!
