Collapse of Civilizations The ancient civilizations discussed this week and last week all to some extent collapsed. For this discussion, discuss the collapse of one of the civilizations described in the textbook. On p. 480, different causes for civilizational collapse are listed: identify the cause (or causes) most applicable to your chosen civilization and support this with evidence. Lastly, use the information on p. 481-482 to discuss whether our own civilization is destined to collapse. Based on what we have learned from ancient civilizations, are their ways we can culturally adapt to changes? .

Specificity in ICD-IO Coding
VALID ICD-IO-CM/PCS (ICD-IO) codes have been required for claims reporting since October 1, 2015. But ICD-IO diagnosis coding to the correct level of specificity—a more recent requirement—continues to be a problem for many in the healthcare industry. While diagnosis code specificity has always been the goal, providers were granted a reprieve in order to facilitate implementation of ICD-IO. For the first 12 months of ICD-IO use, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) promised that Medicare review contractors would not deny claims "based solely on the specificity of the ICD-IO diagnosis code as long as the physician/practitioner used a valid code from the right family."l Commonly referred to as the "grace period," this flexibility was intended to help providers implement the ICD-IO-CM code set and was never intended to continue on in perpetuity. In fact, this CMS-granted grace period expired on October 1, 2016.2
Unfortunately, nonspecific documentation and coding persists. This is an ongoing problem, even though the official guidelines for coding and reporting require coding to the highest degree of specificity. Third-party payers are making payment determinations based on the specificity of reported codes, and payment reform efforts are formulating policies based on coded data. The significance of overreporting unspecified diagnosis codes cannot be understated. In the short term, it will increase claim denials, and in the long term it may adversely impact emerging payment models.3•4 Calculating and monitoring unspecified diagnosis code rates is critical to successfully leverage specificity

in the ICD-IO-CM code set.
An ICD-IO-CM code is considered unspecified if either of the terms "unspecified" or "NOS" are used in the code description. The unspecified diagnosis code rate is calculated by dividing the number of unspecified diagnosis codes by the total number of diagnosis codes assigned. Health information management (HIM) professionals should be tracking and trending unspecified diagnosis code rates across the continuum of care.5
Acceptable use of Unspecified Diagnosis Codes Unspecified diagnosis codes have acceptable, even necessary, uses. The unspecified code rate is not an error rate, but rather an indicator of the quality of clinical documentation and a qualitative measure of coder performance and coding results. Even CMS explicitly recognizes that unspecified codes are sometimes necessary. "When sufficient clinical information is not known or available about a particular health condition to assign a more specific code, it is acceptable to report the appropriate unspecified code."6 It's also important that coding professionals use good judgment to avoid unnecessary queries for clarification of unspecified diagnoses. The official coding guidelines provide explicit guidance for appropriate uses of unspec.

CNL-521 Topic 3: Vargas Case Study
Bob and Elizabeth arrive together for the third session. As planned, you remind the couple that the goal of today’s session is to gather information about their families of origin. Bob begins by telling you about his older sister, Katie, who is 36 and lives nearby with her three children. Katie’s husband, Steve, died suddenly last year at the age of 40 when the car he was driving hit a block wall. Elizabeth speculates that Steve was intoxicated at the time, but Bob vehemently denies this allegation. He warns Elizabeth to “never again” suggest alcohol was involved. You note Bob’s strong response and learn that his own biological father, whom his mother divorced when Bob was 3 and Katie was 5, had been an alcoholic. When asked about his father, Bob says, “His name is Tim, and I haven’t seen him since the divorce.” Bob shares that he only remembers frequently hiding under the bed with Katie to stay safe from his violent rages. He adds that 5 years after the divorce, his mother, Linda, married Noel who has been “the only dad I’ve ever known.” He insists that his sister married “a devout Christian who never touched alcohol” and attributed the 3:00 a.m. tragedy to fatigue. He adds that a few days before the accident, Katie had complained to him that her husband had been working many late nights and “just wasn’t himself.” Bob speaks fondly of his sister and confirms that they have always been “very close.”
From Elizabeth, who is 31 years old, you learn that she was adopted by her parents, Rita and Gary, who were in their late 40s at the time. They were first generation immigrants who had no family in the United States. Their biological daughter, Susan, had died 10 years earlier after Rita accidentally ran over the 5 year old while backing out of the driveway. Elizabeth surmises that her mother never fully recovered from this traumatic incident and remained distant and withdrawn throughout Elizabeth’s life. Elizabeth describes her father, Gary, as “a hard worker, smart, and always serious.” She shares that most of her family memories were of times spent with her dad in his study, surrounded by books. She states, “He could find the answer to all of my questions in one his many books.” Elizabeth describes herself as the “quiet, bookish type” and attributes her love for books to her father. Like her father in his study, Elizabeth remembers spending most of her adolescence alone in her room, reading, so she would not upset her mother. Looking back, Elizabeth tells you she recognizes her mother’s struggle with depression, “but as a kid, I thought it was me.”
You comment on the vastly different childhood experiences and normalize the potential for relationship challenges under these circumstances. Acknowledging the differences, Elizabeth remarks that Bob’s relationship with his family was one of the things that she was attracted to early in their relationship. Bob agrees with her and comments that Katie and Elizabeth.

CSC 330: Advanced Data Structures, Spring 2019
Released Monday, April 15, 2019
Due on Canvas on Wednesday, May 1, at 11:59pm
Overview
In this assignment, you’ll implement another variant of a height-balancing tree known as a
splay tree. The assignment will also give you an opportunity to work with Java inheritance;
in particular, the base code that you’ll amend is structured so that your SplayTree class
extends from an abstract class called HeightBalancingTree, which gives a general template
for how a height-balancing tree should be defined.
As always, please carefully read the entire write-up before you begin coding your submission.
Splay Trees
As mentioned above, a splay tree is another example of a height-balancing tree — a binary
search tree that, upon either an insertion or deletion, modifies the tree through a sequence
of rotations in order to reduce the overall height of the tree.
However, splay trees differ from the other height-balancing trees we’ve seen (AVL trees,
red-black trees) in terms of the type of guarantees that they provide. In particular, recall
that both AVL trees and red-black trees maintain the property that after any insertion or
deletion, the height of the tree is O(log n), where n is the number of elements in the tree.
Splay trees unfortunately do not provide this (fairly strong) guarantee; namely, it is possible
for the height of a splay tree to become greater than O(log n) over a sequence of insertions
and deletions.
Instead, splay trees provide a slightly weaker (though still meaningful) guarantee known as
an amortized bound, which is essentially just a bound on the average time of a single opera-
tion over the course of several operations. In the context of splay trees, one can show that
over the course of, say, n insertions to build a tree with n elements, the average time of each
of these operations is O(log n) (but again, keeping in mind it is possible for any single one
of these operations to take much longer than this).
Showing this guarantee is beyond the scope of this course (although the details of the analy-
sis can be found in your textbook). Instead, in this assignment, we will just be in interested

in writing an implementation of a splay tree in Java that is structured using inheritance.
Splay Tree Insertions and Deletions
To insert or delete an element from the tree, splay trees use the same approach as the other
height-balancing trees we’ve discussed in class — first we insert/deletion an element using
standard BST procedures, and then perform a “height-fixing” procedure that rebalances the
tree. Thus, what distinguishes each of these height-balancing trees from one another is how
they define their height-fixing procedures.
To fix the tree after both inser.

CoevolutionOver the ages, many species have become irremediably .docx
Coevolution
Over the ages, many species have become irremediably linked. Whether in the context of an arms race or cooperation to conquer new ecosystems, they have no choice but to evolve together . According to Paul Ehrlich and Peter Raven, who introduced the term in 1964, "Coevolution is the evolution of two or more entities caused by the action between these entities of reciprocal selective factors. Organizations must therefore influence each other (Thompson, 1989). Coevolution relates to this week’s theme by the how natural selection affects the ecosystem. The book compares coevolution to an ecological arm race (Bensel & Turk, 2014). One example is a case of bats as stated in the book and their use of echolocation to be able to find insects. One insect that tries to outsmart it is a tiger moth which blocks out and jam’s the bats signal with a high frequency clicks and the bat fly’s erratically to confuse the moth. This is important in adaptation and of evolution of any new biological species. There are two kinds of interactions that happen that can lead to competitive coevolution. One interactions is predation in which one organism kills another organism. The second one is parasitism in which one organism benefits by damaging but not killing another organism.
This term affects living things and the physical world because if we didn’t have the natural selection all our ecosystem who would be extinct including human beings. Many recent studies state that environmental changes have messed with the balance between interacting species and leading to their extinction. When we use the three models of coevolution such as competition, predation, mutualism in organizing and synthesizing ways to modify species interaction when there is climate change in favoring one species over another. Coevolution reduces the effects of climate change and leads to lowering chances in extinction. By getting an understanding of our nature of coevolution in how they interact with different species and our communities interact and respond to the changing climate.
We as human kind must take action and not let our natural system and ecosystem suffer because of our greed for economic growth (Cairns, 2007). We must also be careful of our matriac consumption and forget about ecological and sustainability ethics. (Cairns, 2007). Humans need to take action to better take care of our ecosystem and environment. Morowitz (1992) stated in this journal, “Sustained life is a property of an ecological system rather than a single organism or species.” There are no species that can exist without the ecological life support system even humans (Cairns, 2007). We need to put more effort in taking care of our environment by creating more organizations in getting our communities involved. In achieving sustainability they must guide through ecological and sustainability ethics. There are many challenges that will come but with achieving sustainable use of our planet our environment will .
Coding Component (50)Weve provided you with an implementation .docx
Coding Component (50%)
We've provided you with an implementation of an unbalanced binary search tree. The tree implements an ordered dynamic set over a generic comparable type T. Supported operations include insertion, deletion, min, max, and testing whether a value is in the set (via the exists method). Because it's a set, duplicates are not allowed, and the insert operation will not insert a value if it is already present.
We have implemented the BST operations in a recursive style. For example, inserting a value into a tree recurses down the tree seeking the correct place to add a new leaf. Each recursive call returns the root of the subtree on which it was called, after making any modifications needed to the subtree to perform the insertion. Deletion is implemented similarly.
Your job is to add the functionality needed to keep the tree balanced using the AVL property. In particular, you will need to
· augment the tree to maintain the height of each of its subtrees, as discussed in Studio;
· compute the balance at the root of a subtree (which is the height of the root's left subtree minus that of its right subtree);
· implement the AVL rebalancing operation, along with the supporting rotation operations; and
· call the height maintenance and rebalancing operations at the appropriate times during insertion and deletion.
Code Outline
There are two main source code files you need to consider, both in the avl package:
· TreeNode.java implements a class TreeNode that represents a node of a binary search tree. It holds a value (the key of the node) along with child and parent pointers. It has a height data member that is currently not used for anything. You should not modify this file, but you need to understand its contents.
· AVLTree.java implements an ordered set as a binary search tree made out of TreeNode objects.
The AVLTree class provides an interface that includes element insertion and deletion, as well as an exists() method that tests whether a value is present in the set. It also offers min() and max() methods. These methods all work as given for (unbalanced) BSTs, using the algorithms we discussed in lecture.
To implement the AVL balancing method, you will need to fill in some missing code to maintain the height of each subtree and perform rebalancing. Look for the 'FIXME' tags in AVLTree.java to see which methods you must modify.
Height Maintenance
You'll need to set the height data member each time a new leaf is allocated in the tree. You can then maintain the height as part of insertion or deletion using the incremental updating strategy you worked out in Studio 10, Part C.
The update procedure updateHeight() takes in a node and updates its height using the heights of its two subtrees. It should run in constant time.
You'll need to call updateHeight() wherever it is needed – in insertion, deletion, and perhaps elsewhere.
Rebalancing
You must implement four methods as part of AVL rebalancing:
· getBalance() computes the balance fact.

Coding Assignment 3
CSC 330: Advanced Data Structures, Spring 2019
Released Monday, April 15, 2019
Due on Canvas on Wednesday, May 1, at 11:59pm
Overview
In this assignment, you’ll implement another variant of a height-balancing tree known as a
splay tree. The assignment will also give you an opportunity to work with Java inheritance;
in particular, the base code that you’ll amend is structured so that your SplayTree class
extends from an abstract class called HeightBalancingTree, which gives a general template
for how a height-balancing tree should be defined.
As always, please carefully read the entire write-up before you begin coding your submission.
Splay Trees
As mentioned above, a splay tree is another example of a height-balancing tree — a binary
search tree that, upon either an insertion or deletion, modifies the tree through a sequence
of rotations in order to reduce the overall height of the tree.
However, splay trees differ from the other height-balancing trees we’ve seen (AVL trees,
red-black trees) in terms of the type of guarantees that they provide. In particular, recall
that both AVL trees and red-black trees maintain the property that after any insertion or
deletion, the height of the tree is O(log n), where n is the number of elements in the tree.
Splay trees unfortunately do not provide this (fairly strong) guarantee; namely, it is possible
for the height of a splay tree to become greater than O(log n) over a sequence of insertions
and deletions.
Instead, splay trees provide a slightly weaker (though still meaningful) guarantee known as
an amortized bound, which is essentially just a bound on the average time of a single opera-
tion over the course of several operations. In the context of splay trees, one can show that
over the course of, say, n insertions to build a tree with n elements, the average time of each
of these operations is O(log n) (but again, keeping in mind it is possible for any single one
of these operations to take much longer than this).
Showing this guarantee is beyond the scope of this course (although the details of the analy-
sis can be found in your textbook). Instead, in this assignment, we will just be in interested

Splay Tree Insertions and Deletions
To insert or delete an element from the tree, splay trees use the same approach as the other
height-balancing trees we’ve discussed in class — first we insert/deletion an element using
standard BST procedures, and then perform a “height-fixing” procedure that rebalances the
tree. Thus, what distinguishes each of these height-balancing trees from one another is how
they define their height-fixing procedures.
To fix the tree after both inser.

CoevolutionOver the ages, many species have become irremediably .docx
Coevolution
Over the ages, many species have become irremediably linked. Whether in the context of an arms race or cooperation to conquer new ecosystems, they have no choice but to evolve together . According to Paul Ehrlich and Peter Raven, who introduced the term in 1964, "Coevolution is the evolution of two or more entities caused by the action between these entities of reciprocal selective factors. Organizations must therefore influence each other (Thompson, 1989). Coevolution relates to this week’s theme by the how natural selection affects the ecosystem. The book compares coevolution to an ecological arm race (Bensel & Turk, 2014). One example is a case of bats as stated in the book and their use of echolocation to be able to find insects. One insect that tries to outsmart it is a tiger moth which blocks out and jam’s the bats signal with a high frequency clicks and the bat fly’s erratically to confuse the moth. This is important in adaptation and of evolution of any new biological species. There are two kinds of interactions that happen that can lead to competitive coevolution. One interactions is predation in which one organism kills another organism. The second one is parasitism in which one organism benefits by damaging but not killing another organism.
This term affects living things and the physical world because if we didn’t have the natural selection all our ecosystem who would be extinct including human beings. Many recent studies state that environmental changes have messed with the balance between interacting species and leading to their extinction. When we use the three models of coevolution such as competition, predation, mutualism in organizing and synthesizing ways to modify species interaction when there is climate change in favoring one species over another. Coevolution reduces the effects of climate change and leads to lowering chances in extinction. By getting an understanding of our nature of coevolution in how they interact with different species and our communities interact and respond to the changing climate.
We as human kind must take action and not let our natural system and ecosystem suffer because of our greed for economic growth (Cairns, 2007). We must also be careful of our matriac consumption and forget about ecological and sustainability ethics. (Cairns, 2007). Humans need to take action to better take care of our ecosystem and environment. Morowitz (1992) stated in this journal, “Sustained life is a property of an ecological system rather than a single organism or species.” There are no species that can exist without the ecological life support system even humans (Cairns, 2007). We need to put more effort in taking care of our environment by creating more organizations in getting our communities involved. In achieving sustainability they must guide through ecological and sustainability ethics. There are many challenges that will come but with achieving sustainable use of our planet our environment will .
Coding Component (50)Weve provided you with an implementation .docx
Coding Component (50%)
We've provided you with an implementation of an unbalanced binary search tree. The tree implements an ordered dynamic set over a generic comparable type T. Supported operations include insertion, deletion, min, max, and testing whether a value is in the set (via the exists method). Because it's a set, duplicates are not allowed, and the insert operation will not insert a value if it is already present.
We have implemented the BST operations in a recursive style. For example, inserting a value into a tree recurses down the tree seeking the correct place to add a new leaf. Each recursive call returns the root of the subtree on which it was called, after making any modifications needed to the subtree to perform the insertion. Deletion is implemented similarly.
Your job is to add the functionality needed to keep the tree balanced using the AVL property. In particular, you will need to
· augment the tree to maintain the height of each of its subtrees, as discussed in Studio;
· compute the balance at the root of a subtree (which is the height of the root's left subtree minus that of its right subtree);
· implement the AVL rebalancing operation, along with the supporting rotation operations; and
· call the height maintenance and rebalancing operations at the appropriate times during insertion and deletion.
Code Outline
There are two main source code files you need to consider, both in the avl package:
· TreeNode.java implements a class TreeNode that represents a node of a binary search tree. It holds a value (the key of the node) along with child and parent pointers. It has a height data member that is currently not used for anything. You should not modify this file, but you need to understand its contents.
· AVLTree.java implements an ordered set as a binary search tree made out of TreeNode objects.
The AVLTree class provides an interface that includes element insertion and deletion, as well as an exists() method that tests whether a value is present in the set. It also offers min() and max() methods. These methods all work as given for (unbalanced) BSTs, using the algorithms we discussed in lecture.
To implement the AVL balancing method, you will need to fill in some missing code to maintain the height of each subtree and perform rebalancing. Look for the 'FIXME' tags in AVLTree.java to see which methods you must modify.
Height Maintenance
You'll need to set the height data member each time a new leaf is allocated in the tree. You can then maintain the height as part of insertion or deletion using the incremental updating strategy you worked out in Studio 10, Part C.
The update procedure updateHeight() takes in a node and updates its height using the heights of its two subtrees. It should run in constant time.
You'll need to call updateHeight() wherever it is needed – in insertion, deletion, and perhaps elsewhere.
Rebalancing
You must implement four methods as part of AVL rebalancing:
· getBalance() computes the balance fact.
Codes of Ethics Guides Not Prescriptions A set of rules and di.docx
Codes of Ethics: Guides Not Prescriptions A set of rules and directives that would result in efficient and ethical professional practice would be something clearly welcomed by student and professional alike. However, as should be clear by now, such prescriptions or recipes for professional practice do not exist, nor does every client and every professional condition provide clear-cut avenues for progress. Professional practice is both complex and complicated. The issues presented are often confounded and conflicting. The process of making sense of the options available and engaging in the path that leads to effective, ethical practice cannot be preprogrammed but rather needs to be fluid, flexible, and responsive to the uniqueness of the client and the context of helping. The very dynamic and fluid nature of our work with clients prohibits the use of rigid, formulaic prescriptions or directions. Never is this so obvious as when first confronted with an ethical dilemma. Consider the subtle challenges to practice decisions presented in Case Illustration 7.1. The case reflects a decision regarding the release of information and the potential breach of confidentiality. The element confounding the decision, as you will see, is that the client was deceased and it was the executrix of the estate providing permission to release the information to a third party.
Case Illustration 7.1 Conditions for Maintaining Confidentiality While all clinicians have been schooled in the issue of confidentiality and the various conditions under which confidentiality must be breached (e.g., prevention of harm to self or another), the conditions of maintenance of confidentiality can be somewhat blurred when the material under consideration is that of a client who is now deceased. Consider the case of Dr. Martin Orne, MD, PhD. Dr. Orne was a psychotherapist who worked with Anne Sexton, a Pulitzer Prize winner. Following the death of Ms. Sexton, an author, Ms. Middlebrook, set out to write her biography. In doing her research, Ms. Middlebrook discovered that Dr. Orne had tape-recorded a number of sessions with Ms. Sexton in order to allow her to review the sessions, and he had not destroyed the tapes following her death. Ms. Middlebrook approached Linda Gray Sexton, the daughter of the client and the executrix of the estate, seeking permission to access these tapes of the confidential therapy sessions as an aid to her writing. The daughter granted permission for release of the therapeutic tapes. A number of questions could be raised around this case, including the ethics of tape-recording or the ethics of maintenance of the tapes following the death of the client. However, the most pressing issue involves the conditions under which confidentiality should be maintained. The challenge here is, should Dr. Orne release the tapes in response to the daughter’s granting of permission, or does his client have the right to confidentiality even beyond the grave? As noted, t.

Codecademy: Monetizing a Movement?
We’re a movement to make education more of a commodity. We’re not just a for-profit company. Our mission would get tainted if we charged consumers for content. We need to be authentic.
— Zach Sims, Cofounder and CEO
Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski sat in the Codecademy headquarters, an exposed-brick fourth-floor office near Madison Square Park in New York City. In 2011, while in their early twenties, the two had founded Codecademy, an open-platform, online community to teach users to code. By 2014, they had a total of 24 million unique users and a library of over 100,000 lessons. The company had raised a total of $12.5 million in funding and was, on many fronts, an overwhelming success. However, there were still no revenues. The company’s website stated, “Codecademy is free and always will be.”1
The founders, along with the board, had decided that 2014 would be a year of experimentation with different monetization strategies. By June, the cofounders had preliminarily tested two monetization models. The first charged companies for training employees offline on coding skills, a service that the training departments of these companies paid an annual fee to receive. The second monetization model focused on a labor marketplace to match Codecademy users with jobs that corporations and recruiters were seeking to fill.
But 2014 had also been busy in other arenas for the 25-employee company. In April, the company launched a redesign of its website, because, as the Codecademy blog announced, “it quickly became apparent that if we wanted to grow and mature as a brand, we required a thorough redesign of our entire product.”2 The next month, the company announced that they were opening an office in London to work with the British education system and also had forged partnerships with foundations and government bodies in Estonia, Argentina, and France.
As Sims and Bubinski huddled in their glass-walled conference room, they tried to focus on the task at hand—to narrow down their ideas and eventually decide on a viable business model. The two reviewed early results from both experiments to prepare for the upcoming board meeting where they planned to present their findings and propose next steps. The employee-training experiments had yielded promising initial results but would require hiring a sales force, offline instructors, and some content customization to scale. The labor marketplace model promised less friction in scaling but represented a more crowded market opportunity.
Senior Lecturer Jeffrey J. Bussgang and Case Researcher Lisa C. Mazzanti (Case Research & Writing Group) prepared this case. It was reviewed and approved before publication by a company designate. Funding for the develo.

Codes of Ethical Conduct: A Bottom-Up Approach
Ronald Paul Hill • Justine M. Rapp
Received: 18 January 2013 / Accepted: 12 December 2013 / Published online: 1 January 2014
� Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013
Abstract Developing and implementing a meaningful
code of conduct by managers or consultants may require a
change in orientation that modifies the way these precepts
are determined. The position advocated herein is for a
different approach to understanding and organizing the
guiding parameters of the firm that requires individual
reflection and empowerment of the entire organization to
advance their shared values. The processes involved are
discussed using four discrete stages that move from the
personal to the work team and to the unit to the full
company, followed by the board of directors’ evaluation.
The hoped-for end product is dynamic, employee-driven,
codes of conduct that recognize the systemic and far-
reaching impact of organizational activities across internal
and external stakeholders. Operational details for and some
issues associated with its implementation are also provided.
Keywords Code of conduct � Employee-driven
approaches � Bottom-up development
Corporation, Be Good! Frederick (2006)
That managers and employees are capable of both ethical
and unethical behaviors due to individual and internal
corporate culture factors cannot be denied (Ashforth and
Anand 2003; Treviño and Weaver 2003; Treviño et al.
2006). Over the last decade, as diverse organizational
stakeholders began exerting more pressure on firms to
eliminate unethical conduct, the field of management has
witnessed a proliferation of research on ethics and ethical
behavior in organizations (Elango et al. 2010; Gopala-
krishnan et al. 2008; O’Fallon and Butterfield 2005; Tre-
viño et al. 2006).
However, recent ethical failures, as well as continuous
ethical challenges that organizations face, have led scholars
to conclude that predicting ethical dilemmas is difficult a
priori: ‘‘It is only, when we look back on our conduct over
the long run that we may find ourselves guilty of moral
laxity’’ (Geva 2006, p. 138). What underlies this particular
situation is the inability of organizational elites to monitor
and implement initiatives within today’s complex business
entities (Martin and Eisenhardt 2010; Uhl-Bien et al.
2007). Accordingly, more dynamic approaches to business
ethics is needed, one that spans ‘‘both the individual and
organizational levels’’ of concern (Gopalakrishnan et al.
2008, p. 757).
As a consequence and in reaction to neoclassical eco-
nomics, managers and their employees are expected to go
beyond dictates imposed by the law and marketplace to
fulfill larger responsibilities (Stark 1993). This expectation
is accomplished through adoption of a stakeholder per-
spective that is infused with empathy for people, groups,
and communities that may be impacted by the actions of
business.

While some were proven - the infamous LSD mind-control experiments of the 1950s - others, like the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the crash of the Savings and Loans industry, have little or no merit.
In 1996 the agency was accused of being a crack dealer.
A series of expose articles in the San Jose Mercury-News by reporter Gary Webb told tales of a drug triangle during the 1980s that linked CIA officials in Central America, a San Francisco drug ring and a Los Angeles drug dealer. According to the stories, the CIA and its operatives used crack cocaine--sold via the Los Angeles African-American community--to raise millions to support the agency's clandestine operations in Central America.
The CIA's suspect past made the sensational articles an easy sell. Talk radio switchboards lit up, as did African-American leaders like U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, who pointed to Webb's articles as proof of a mastermind plot to destroy inner-city black America.
One of the people who was accused in the San Jose Mercury-News of being in the midst of the CIA cocaine conspiracy is one of the most respected, now retired, veteran D.E.A. agents, Robert "Bobby" Nieves.
"You have to understand Central America at that time was a haven for the conspiracy theorists. Christic Institute, people like Gary Webb, others down there, looking to dig up some story for political advantage," Nieves said. "No sexier story than to create the notion in people's minds that these people are drug traffickers."
But in the weeks following publication, Webb's peers doubted the merit of the articles. Fellow journalists at the Washington Post, New York Times and Webb's own editor accused him of blowing a few truths up into a massive conspiracy.
Amongst Webb's fundamental problems was his implication that the CIA lit the crack cocaine fuse. It was conspiracy theory: a neat presentation of reality that simply didn't jibe with real life. Webb later agreed in an interview that there is no hard evidence that the CIA as an institution or any of its agent-employees carried out or profited from drug trafficking.
Still, the fantastic story of the CIA injecting crack into ghettos had taken hold. In response to the public outcry following Webb's allegations--which were ultimately published in book form under the title Dark Alliance--the CIA conducted an internal investigation of its role in Central America related to the drug trade. Frederick Hitz, as the CIA Inspector General-- an independent watchdog approved by Congress--conducted the investigation. In October 1998, the CIA released a declassifie.

Cochlear implants remain a controversial treatment for people suffer.docx
Cochlear implants are a controversial treatment for nerve deafness, as many in the Deaf community believe the implants threaten their culture and identity. The implants work by bypassing damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve, allowing those with profound hearing loss to perceive sound. Some in the Deaf community argue that cochlear implants undermine Deaf culture and sign language.
Coalition Testimony Group PresentationCoalition on Nutrition, .docx
Coalition Testimony Group Presentation
Coalition on Nutrition, Food, and Obesity
Identification of the Organization
As a stakeholder in the Nutrition, Food and Obesity Coalition, our main focus is to address the needs of people suffering from obesity and also advocate for better food and nutrition in order to prevent the development of obesity among populations.
The organization’s stand on the issue of obesity is that obesity is very rampant in our societies that it affects even young school-going kids. This isn’t a good reflection of our society and more efforts should be employed to minimize and manage obese cases among populations.
Proposed Bill S.2726
The bill S. 2726 that is referred to as ”Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2018” was formulated to ensure that the Public Health Service Act is amended in order to soundly address obesity among children.
The bill proposes that physical activity and healthy eating among children must be enhanced. This can be done through various forums which will involve the parents, teachers, trainers and any other stakeholder that interacts with children.
Our Stand on the Proposed Bill S. 2726
Our organization is fully supporting the Bill S. 2726 because the adoption of this bill will greatly reduce the cases of children with obesity.
Research has shown that kids who are over-weight while young tend to become obese while adults. Therefore, adopting the bill will minimize the cases of obese kids and young future adults.
I personally support this bill because through this bill, the lives of many children will be free from obese complications and a healthy lifestyle will be promoted.
The bill will also enhance the realization of our organization (and other organizations working to address obesity) goals of promoting healthy eating and managing obesity cases in a proper manner.
I would ask all policy makers to vote YES for the Bill S. 2726 as this will be a big milestone in promoting healthy foods and nutrition and, in turn, tackle obesity cases within the human population.
Personally, I have witnessed children who suffer from obesity due to their unhealthy lifestyle. For instance, instead of playing outside, most kids prefer to play video games. This increases their inactivity levels thereby promoting the occurrence of obesity. Therefore, voting YES for a bill that will reduce a child’s screen time and increase his/her outdoor playtime will be a plus to the fight against obesity cases among children.
Research by Alston, Okrent, & Parks (2012) acknowledge that obesity is a public health menace that affects most American population. They, therefore, find it more effective to implement policies that will curb this menace. Voting the Bill S. 2726 will be a major milestone in the fight against obesity.
It is our duty to take care of the health issues of our children since they are the future leaders. For us to maintain a healthy population in the future, more work should be done.

Codes of Ethics Guides Not Prescriptions A set of rules and di.docx
Codes of Ethics: Guides Not Prescriptions A set of rules and directives that would result in efficient and ethical professional practice would be something clearly welcomed by student and professional alike. However, as should be clear by now, such prescriptions or recipes for professional practice do not exist, nor does every client and every professional condition provide clear-cut avenues for progress. Professional practice is both complex and complicated. The issues presented are often confounded and conflicting. The process of making sense of the options available and engaging in the path that leads to effective, ethical practice cannot be preprogrammed but rather needs to be fluid, flexible, and responsive to the uniqueness of the client and the context of helping. The very dynamic and fluid nature of our work with clients prohibits the use of rigid, formulaic prescriptions or directions. Never is this so obvious as when first confronted with an ethical dilemma. Consider the subtle challenges to practice decisions presented in Case Illustration 7.1. The case reflects a decision regarding the release of information and the potential breach of confidentiality. The element confounding the decision, as you will see, is that the client was deceased and it was the executrix of the estate providing permission to release the information to a third party.
Case Illustration 7.1 Conditions for Maintaining Confidentiality While all clinicians have been schooled in the issue of confidentiality and the various conditions under which confidentiality must be breached (e.g., prevention of harm to self or another), the conditions of maintenance of confidentiality can be somewhat blurred when the material under consideration is that of a client who is now deceased. Consider the case of Dr. Martin Orne, MD, PhD. Dr. Orne was a psychotherapist who worked with Anne Sexton, a Pulitzer Prize winner. Following the death of Ms. Sexton, an author, Ms. Middlebrook, set out to write her biography. In doing her research, Ms. Middlebrook discovered that Dr. Orne had tape-recorded a number of sessions with Ms. Sexton in order to allow her to review the sessions, and he had not destroyed the tapes following her death. Ms. Middlebrook approached Linda Gray Sexton, the daughter of the client and the executrix of the estate, seeking permission to access these tapes of the confidential therapy sessions as an aid to her writing. The daughter granted permission for release of the therapeutic tapes. A number of questions could be raised around this case, including the ethics of tape-recording or the ethics of maintenance of the tapes following the death of the client. However, the most pressing issue involves the conditions under which confidentiality should be maintained. The challenge here is, should Dr. Orne release the tapes in response to the daughter’s granting of permission, or does his client have the right to confidentiality even beyond the grave? As noted, t.

Codecademy: Monetizing a Movement?
We’re a movement to make education more of a commodity. We’re not just a for-profit company. Our mission would get tainted if we charged consumers for content. We need to be authentic.
— Zach Sims, Cofounder and CEO
Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski sat in the Codecademy headquarters, an exposed-brick fourth-floor office near Madison Square Park in New York City. In 2011, while in their early twenties, the two had founded Codecademy, an open-platform, online community to teach users to code. By 2014, they had a total of 24 million unique users and a library of over 100,000 lessons. The company had raised a total of $12.5 million in funding and was, on many fronts, an overwhelming success. However, there were still no revenues. The company’s website stated, “Codecademy is free and always will be.”1
The founders, along with the board, had decided that 2014 would be a year of experimentation with different monetization strategies. By June, the cofounders had preliminarily tested two monetization models. The first charged companies for training employees offline on coding skills, a service that the training departments of these companies paid an annual fee to receive. The second monetization model focused on a labor marketplace to match Codecademy users with jobs that corporations and recruiters were seeking to fill.
But 2014 had also been busy in other arenas for the 25-employee company. In April, the company launched a redesign of its website, because, as the Codecademy blog announced, “it quickly became apparent that if we wanted to grow and mature as a brand, we required a thorough redesign of our entire product.”2 The next month, the company announced that they were opening an office in London to work with the British education system and also had forged partnerships with foundations and government bodies in Estonia, Argentina, and France.
As Sims and Bubinski huddled in their glass-walled conference room, they tried to focus on the task at hand—to narrow down their ideas and eventually decide on a viable business model. The two reviewed early results from both experiments to prepare for the upcoming board meeting where they planned to present their findings and propose next steps. The employee-training experiments had yielded promising initial results but would require hiring a sales force, offline instructors, and some content customization to scale. The labor marketplace model promised less friction in scaling but represented a more crowded market opportunity.
Senior Lecturer Jeffrey J. Bussgang and Case Researcher Lisa C. Mazzanti (Case Research & Writing Group) prepared this case. It was reviewed and approved before publication by a company designate. Funding for the develo.

Codes of Ethical Conduct A Bottom-Up ApproachRonald Paul .docx
Codes of Ethical Conduct: A Bottom-Up Approach
Ronald Paul Hill • Justine M. Rapp
Received: 18 January 2013 / Accepted: 12 December 2013 / Published online: 1 January 2014
� Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013
Abstract Developing and implementing a meaningful
code of conduct by managers or consultants may require a
change in orientation that modifies the way these precepts
are determined. The position advocated herein is for a
different approach to understanding and organizing the
guiding parameters of the firm that requires individual
reflection and empowerment of the entire organization to
advance their shared values. The processes involved are
discussed using four discrete stages that move from the
personal to the work team and to the unit to the full
company, followed by the board of directors’ evaluation.
The hoped-for end product is dynamic, employee-driven,
codes of conduct that recognize the systemic and far-
reaching impact of organizational activities across internal
and external stakeholders. Operational details for and some
issues associated with its implementation are also provided.
Keywords Code of conduct � Employee-driven
approaches � Bottom-up development
Corporation, Be Good! Frederick (2006)
That managers and employees are capable of both ethical
and unethical behaviors due to individual and internal
corporate culture factors cannot be denied (Ashforth and
Anand 2003; Treviño and Weaver 2003; Treviño et al.
2006). Over the last decade, as diverse organizational
stakeholders began exerting more pressure on firms to
eliminate unethical conduct, the field of management has
witnessed a proliferation of research on ethics and ethical
behavior in organizations (Elango et al. 2010; Gopala-
krishnan et al. 2008; O’Fallon and Butterfield 2005; Tre-
viño et al. 2006).
However, recent ethical failures, as well as continuous
ethical challenges that organizations face, have led scholars
to conclude that predicting ethical dilemmas is difficult a
priori: ‘‘It is only, when we look back on our conduct over
the long run that we may find ourselves guilty of moral
laxity’’ (Geva 2006, p. 138). What underlies this particular
situation is the inability of organizational elites to monitor
and implement initiatives within today’s complex business
entities (Martin and Eisenhardt 2010; Uhl-Bien et al.
2007). Accordingly, more dynamic approaches to business
ethics is needed, one that spans ‘‘both the individual and
organizational levels’’ of concern (Gopalakrishnan et al.
2008, p. 757).
As a consequence and in reaction to neoclassical eco-
nomics, managers and their employees are expected to go
beyond dictates imposed by the law and marketplace to
fulfill larger responsibilities (Stark 1993). This expectation
is accomplished through adoption of a stakeholder per-
spective that is infused with empathy for people, groups,
and communities that may be impacted by the actions of
business.

They presented a false perception that General Hospital’s postoperative infection rates were lower than those of peer hospitals. The comparison data was published in the local newspaper. The Jones family, believing the data to be correct and concerned about the number of deaths related to hospital-acquired infections, relied on the data in selecting General Hospital as their preferred hospital.
Tasks:
Describe how organizational and professional codes of ethics were violated in this case.
Describe what role an organization’s ethics committee could play in addressing this or similar issues.

cocaine, conspiracy theories and the cia in central america by Craig.docx
cocaine, conspiracy theories and the cia in central america by Craig Delaval
Delaval is a freelance writer and filmmaker and was a production assistant for "Drug Wars." This article was edited by Lowell Bergman, series reporter for "Drug Wars."
Since its creation in 1947 under President Harry Truman, the CIA has been credited with a number of far-fetched operations. While some were proven - the infamous LSD mind-control experiments of the 1950s - others, like the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the crash of the Savings and Loans industry, have little or no merit.
In 1996 the agency was accused of being a crack dealer.
A series of expose articles in the San Jose Mercury-News by reporter Gary Webb told tales of a drug triangle during the 1980s that linked CIA officials in Central America, a San Francisco drug ring and a Los Angeles drug dealer. According to the stories, the CIA and its operatives used crack cocaine--sold via the Los Angeles African-American community--to raise millions to support the agency's clandestine operations in Central America.
The CIA's suspect past made the sensational articles an easy sell. Talk radio switchboards lit up, as did African-American leaders like U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, who pointed to Webb's articles as proof of a mastermind plot to destroy inner-city black America.
One of the people who was accused in the San Jose Mercury-News of being in the midst of the CIA cocaine conspiracy is one of the most respected, now retired, veteran D.E.A. agents, Robert "Bobby" Nieves.
"You have to understand Central America at that time was a haven for the conspiracy theorists. Christic Institute, people like Gary Webb, others down there, looking to dig up some story for political advantage," Nieves said. "No sexier story than to create the notion in people's minds that these people are drug traffickers."
But in the weeks following publication, Webb's peers doubted the merit of the articles. Fellow journalists at the Washington Post, New York Times and Webb's own editor accused him of blowing a few truths up into a massive conspiracy.
Amongst Webb's fundamental problems was his implication that the CIA lit the crack cocaine fuse. It was conspiracy theory: a neat presentation of reality that simply didn't jibe with real life. Webb later agreed in an interview that there is no hard evidence that the CIA as an institution or any of its agent-employees carried out or profited from drug trafficking.
Still, the fantastic story of the CIA injecting crack into ghettos had taken hold. In response to the public outcry following Webb's allegations--which were ultimately published in book form under the title Dark Alliance--the CIA conducted an internal investigation of its role in Central America related to the drug trade. Frederick Hitz, as the CIA Inspector General-- an independent watchdog approved by Congress--conducted the investigation. In October 1998, the CIA released a declassifie.

Cochlear implants remain a controversial treatment for people suffer.docx
Cochlear implants are a controversial treatment for nerve deafness, as many in the Deaf community believe the implants threaten their culture and identity. The implants work by bypassing damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve, allowing those with profound hearing loss to perceive sound. Some in the Deaf community argue that cochlear implants undermine Deaf culture and sign language.

Coalition Testimony Group Presentation
Coalition on Nutrition, Food, and Obesity
Identification of the Organization
As a stakeholder in the Nutrition, Food and Obesity Coalition, our main focus is to address the needs of people suffering from obesity and also advocate for better food and nutrition in order to prevent the development of obesity among populations.
The organization’s stand on the issue of obesity is that obesity is very rampant in our societies that it affects even young school-going kids. This isn’t a good reflection of our society and more efforts should be employed to minimize and manage obese cases among populations.
Proposed Bill S.2726
The bill S. 2726 that is referred to as ”Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2018” was formulated to ensure that the Public Health Service Act is amended in order to soundly address obesity among children.
The bill proposes that physical activity and healthy eating among children must be enhanced. This can be done through various forums which will involve the parents, teachers, trainers and any other stakeholder that interacts with children.
Our Stand on the Proposed Bill S. 2726
Our organization is fully supporting the Bill S. 2726 because the adoption of this bill will greatly reduce the cases of children with obesity.
Research has shown that kids who are over-weight while young tend to become obese while adults. Therefore, adopting the bill will minimize the cases of obese kids and young future adults.
I personally support this bill because through this bill, the lives of many children will be free from obese complications and a healthy lifestyle will be promoted.
The bill will also enhance the realization of our organization (and other organizations working to address obesity) goals of promoting healthy eating and managing obesity cases in a proper manner.
I would ask all policy makers to vote YES for the Bill S. 2726 as this will be a big milestone in promoting healthy foods and nutrition and, in turn, tackle obesity cases within the human population.
Personally, I have witnessed children who suffer from obesity due to their unhealthy lifestyle. For instance, instead of playing outside, most kids prefer to play video games. This increases their inactivity levels thereby promoting the occurrence of obesity. Therefore, voting YES for a bill that will reduce a child’s screen time and increase his/her outdoor playtime will be a plus to the fight against obesity cases among children.
Research by Alston, Okrent, & Parks (2012) acknowledge that obesity is a public health menace that affects most American population. They, therefore, find it more effective to implement policies that will curb this menace. Voting the Bill S. 2726 will be a major milestone in the fight against obesity.
It is our duty to take care of the health issues of our children since they are the future leaders. For us to maintain a healthy population in the future, more work should be done.

Collapse of CivilizationsThe ancient civilizations discu.docx
- 1. Collapse of Civilizations The ancient civilizations discussed this week and last week all to some extent collapsed. For this discussion, discuss the collapse of one of the civilizations described in the textbook. On p. 480, different causes for civilizational collapse are listed: identify the cause (or causes) most applicable to your chosen civilization and support this with evidence. Lastly, use the information on p. 481-482 to discuss whether our own civilization is destined to collapse. Based on what we have learned from ancient civilizations, are their ways we can culturally adapt to changes?
