How many of you think that in your lifetime you will see computers exceed the capacity of human cognition? Who thinks there are limitations to what computers can do? (Discuss those limitations in terms of cognitive abilities.) How many of you think that artificial intelligence has removed the human connection and replaced technology with true interaction? .

Offer an alternative explanation for how these patterns of criminal activity and violence affected constitutional law and political freedom. Having effectively established an early version of Parlament , the Anglo-Saxons created a "warlike" system founded on family bonds, aggricultral success, acquisition of funds and property, and control through legal means. (Roth, 2005) Crime was a serious matter as this could effect an individual's financial status/land holdings, family and personal reputation, and life. As each kindship /kingdom had their own laws; however, your "value" as a human would determine werdild (blood price) and options for punishments. (BBC, 2016) Blood fueds and vengeance based retaliations occurred. There were no police forces; however, there were " tithings " (groups of 10 to 12 men) who were responsible for each other and held accountable for each other's actions. (Roth, 2005) Therefore, if you were accused of theift , you and your tithing would appear before a community jury to hear a sentence of death or a fine; however, should you not appear you would then be stripped of your humanity/value and executed. (Roth, 2005) If the Saxons were known for their death penalty, then the Norman's were known for verdicts of mutilation and forming the class system. (Roth, 2005) Unlike the Saxons, the Norman's legal system did establish a police system that was loyal to the monarch instead of the community or kinship . (Roth, 2005) Taking the power away from communities and families to uphold and despence the law, constables handed everything from "tax collection, arresting malfectors , transporting prisoners, and serving legal papers" to maintaining curfew and monarch regulations. (Roth, 2005) Instead of having to survive an ordeal, a theft would have to battle to prove his/her innocence or appoint someone to battle for them if the defendant was a woman, child, elderly, or ill individual. (Roth, 2005) If a woman stole an apple, her brother might have to battle the shop keepers. However, the two systems were vastly different. In the Anglo-Saxon world, the kingdoms experienced more personal and kingdom based freedoms. Even though the death penalty was widely utilized, no positions existed that would be seeking out infractions or looking to punish someone (like a constable). A thief might loose his family and personal honor, face the wrath of his tithing, or have to endure his victim's family claiming their blood price. However, value and worth were placed on family honor, deeds, and contributions to the community. In the United States, this is similar to what we experienced before the civil war. The states had more power than the federal government over their laws and regulations; however, like the Saxons, there were major inconsistencies among states regarding policies, sentences for crimes, and even social attitudes towards certain crimes. The Anti Federalist movement in the United States is founded o.

Often, as a business operates, the partners bring some of their personal items for use by the partnership so that the partnership does not have to incur the expense of buying these items.

What particular problem does this pose when these items are changed or added to in form or character at the expense of the partnership?

Of the five management functions, which do you expect will experience the most dramatic changes in the next decade? Defend your answer. Which will have the least amount of change? Explain your answer. Respond substantively to two other learners. Guided Response: Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond substantively to at least two of your classmates' posts. The five functions of management—planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling- have many close linkages. Planning is part of every other management function. Creating and maintaining an organization's design requires planning. One of the first steps in staffing is human resource planning. Leading requires planning. Leaders rely on motivational programs that are planned in advance. Teams and groups use plans to direct activities. Communication systems and all the new iterations of those systems necessitate careful planning to spot new trends and to implement changes in technologies. Planning is the basis of control through the use of standards. The organizing function shares similar bonds with other management functions. The first element of organizing, job design, is shared with the staffing function. Job specifications established in the job design aspect of organizing are used to recruit and select employees. Employees who fit are able to work well in company-prescribed teams and groups and to communicate effectively within the system. Staffing shares the human element with leading. Staffing involves choosing the right people. Leading includes enticing the highest levels of performance from those people. Controlling has one element in common with staffing. Both are involved in the performance appraisal process for individual employees. Standards link controlling and planning. Further, controlling begins the process of creating the next set of plans. .

Obtaining informed consent for services from clients is required of human services providers; however, it is not always an easy task. Clients typically grant consent by signing documents presented by the agency or the provider that, at minimum, explain the services that will be provided, the client rights, and information on the steps to rescind the consent. In situations where minors or individuals under some form of guardianship are the clients, it is necessary to obtain consent from the legal guardian or authority. However, there are times when obtaining informed consent is not as simple as asking for a signature from the client or guardian. These situations require more thought by the human services providers with emphasis on balancing the client's right to consent with other factors that might influence treatment outcomes or decisions. In this assignment, you will review a case that illustrates the various facets of informed consent. The Case: Smith is a thirty-eight-year-old African American male referred for counseling by his mother to address recent incidents of aggression. Smith resides with his mother because he is not able to live on his own. Smith is unable to hold on to a job and has difficulty establishing and maintaining relationships with others. He is open to counseling but thinks his mother is overreacting to his anger outbursts because she is old and does not understand him. Recently, there have been notable conflicts between them due to Smith's aggressive behaviors that were directed toward his mother. Tasks: Analyze the case and in a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following: What steps would you, as the counselor, take for obtaining informed consent from Smith? Would you, as the counselor, include his mother in the counseling sessions, if you believe it would help with Smith's aggression problem? Why or why not? In your answers, consider the following: Smith is not able to live independently. Smith's aggression might put his mother at risk if he does not get counseling. Smith has to comprehend what is being asked of him when he provides his consent to receive counseling services. There might be cultural differences between you and Smith. .
