Juveniles Should Be Sentenced As Adults Essay
Should Juveniles be Charged and Sentenced as Adults If you do the crime you should be able to do the time hypothetically speaking. Unfortunately
under certain stipulations I do feel that juveniles should indeed be charged and sentenced as adults depending on the magnitude of the crime
committed. The main purpose for the Juvenile system is to protect and rehabilitate instead of punishing youth under the age of eighteen. Youthcrime
was on a rise in the late 1970s and the people thought that the get tough approach would work. The focus of this was to scare the juvenile with the
harsh reality of the crimes they committed with the time they would have to actually do behind bars. (Judy Layzell, Greenhaven Press, 2008.) Studies

Essay on Health Risks in the Media
Health Risks in the Media
There is no cure for the common cold. But when we find that cure, another ailment in society will be healed. Unfortunately, this is not the way the
media depicts health risk. Instead, they use disease and danger to profit. The more frightening and uncontrollable a danger, the higher the price tag is.
The media resorts to exaggeration and misrepresentation in order to make money. The reasoning for these unscrupulous tactics is best explained in the
book, Unreliable Sources. It explains that the media has two contradictory goals: a) to provide a public service, and b) to make money. Contemporary
American media has chosen to focus on the latter. In the pursuit of this goal, they have become less ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In truth, the problem is not nearly so large. Some estimate that 1 in 500,000 or more surgeries will have this phenomenon; many times the chances
are even less than those so graphically described. It occurs in .00002% of all surgeries and .0000027% of the general populous. This hardly
constitutes a major problem compared to other problems like surgical errors, misdiagnosis, poor treatment procedures and other dangers in a doctor's
office. This ailment was focused on because it is new, shocking and scares readers into reading next week to find out more. This is becoming the norm
for other uncommon diseases, such as Ebola which is becoming clichГ©d.
The danger of Ebola has become a metaphor for terror because–despite the efforts of scientists–there is no cure for it. The symptoms are shocking,
grotesque and violent, and there is no miracle medicine or vaccination to stop it. It is so terrifying that it has been the model for many works of
popular fiction such as The Andromeda Strain, Hot Zone and Outbreak–a cross between Steven King and Walter Cronkite. That is where the media
picks it up. When it was realized that people were afraid of Ebola, it became a favorite article subject. Reporters described the extreme danger of a
strand of virus like Ebola appearing in the United States and killing millions. They fail to mention, however, that several agencies are already in place

The Rights Of The European Union
The Right to Be Forgotten (September 2014)
Victor J. Williams, MBA Student, Georgia Institute of Technology Scheller College of Business
Abstract–The recent advent of right to be forgotten legislation in the European Union has triggered a debate over the ever–oscillating line of
demarcation between privacy rights and personal freedoms. The right to be forgotten is essentially the theory that one should reserve the ability to
choose what information about one's past may be publicly accessible. The intent of these policies is to limit the ramifications of one's forgiven and/or
forgivable sins. By empowering the individual with the right to have unfavorable data deleted, it is hoped that onerous social stigmas can be mitigated.
However, the impact of that kind of censorship on industry and individual liberties is cause for concern for those outside of the European Union. The
task of adhering to right to be forgotten laws poses a headache for technology providers from a feasibility and financial standpoint. Additionally, many
countries have laws (and populations) that run in opposition to the philosophical basis upon which right to be forgotten laws are based. This paper will
examine the views of three stakeholders on right to be forgotten policies: The United States Government, the European Union, and myself.

Junk Food Issues In America Summary
"Junk Food Issues in America"
Michael Moss is a New York Times investigative reporter who won a 2010 Pulitzer Prize for "The Burger That Shattered Her Life". Moss has reported
for the Wall Street Journal, New York Newsday, and the Atlanta Journal
–Constitution and taught at the Columbia University School of Journalism.
Moss's essay states one of the main issues in America, obesity. Food companies are the main reason for this problem; but who is more at fault the
consumers or the companies? In the reading, "The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food" Moss talks about a private meeting that was
arranged for different food companies in America; the meeting was to talk about the emerging obesity issue in America and how to solve it with
the help of these food companies. The meeting did not finish in good terms because of disagreements due to food companies not wanting to change
their policies. Food companies spend lots of money to make the right products that consumers will get addictive to or products that will trick
consumers into thinking they are not full. For this reason, food companies did not agree with changing their policies; which could result in loss of
clients and money invested. From a consumer aspect, I agree that there is a huge issue with obesity in America; which involves adults and young
children. Author of "The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food", Michael Moss argued "Today, one in three adults is considered clinically
obese, along with one in five kids, and 24 Americans are afflicted by type 2 diabetes, often caused by poor diet, with another 79 million people have
pre–diabetes" (477). This information scared me because it is amazing how much Americas are suffering of poor diet. As a parent this... Show more

Analysis of Newspaper Research Report
This paper will discuss an article published in Time.com (2007, March) by Lindsey Tanner, explaining a recentresearch study which found that the
Atkins diet beat three other diets for weight loss over a one year period. The actual research study appeared in the Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) on March 21, 2007. Though the findings revealed greater weight loss for the Atkins participants, this paper will discuss the
reasons why the study may be flawed, and its results not appropriate for making inferences regarding the public at large.

Despite the fact that researchers found the results statistically significant to reject the null hypothesis, Tanner (2007) presents opposing viewpoints
from other researchers. The lead researcher is quoted as saying "There's not a ton of weight loss here" (Tanner, 2007). Many factors challenge the
practical significance of this study: the significance level p < .05, the marginal overall weight loss in obese women, the limited sample studied and the
inability to apply the results to other populations, and the confounding factor all indicate that the results are inappropriate to be used inferentially.

students must have effective reading and writing skills in order to do so. Also, physics, it applies math skills to real world situations to solve

looking for real estate in Newnan, and all of them are easy to use and navigate. Access Coweta is a local online bulletin board that has free listings for
those who are selling their homes or renting their homes. It is great for people who are looking for a good deal and who are looking for homes that
are for sale by owner listings that are not found in the more mainstream markets. This is a good place to look if you do not have a buyer 's agent
and just want to see what is out there in the by owner market. Also, if you like the experience of dealing person to person instead of through the
agents, this is a viable option. It is possible to show the listing to your agent and then have them take care of contacting the buyer. I would
recommend going this route and having your agent be the facilitator when it (or if) it comes down to offer time. Even though I have already bought
my home and am quite happy in it, I enjoy looking at the site and seeing who is selling and what they are asking. There are also a plethora of homes

Causes And Effects Of Depression
Causes of Depression As we perceived today, many of American citizens are suffering from depression where they suffer from mental stresses.
According to Bill Hendrick, a reporter at The Atlanta Journal–Constitution, about nine percent of American citizens are suffering from a depression.
Depression is when a person is not in his or her minds. They may feel down downcasted and traumatized. Depression can be caused by different
factors. Things such as abuses, bullying, death, genetics or a loss. Major events are common in causing depressions. Depression often lead to a
downslide in physical health, mental health, and can cause a person to have unexpected behaviors. Abusive situations can cause depressions when a
person feel hopeless about the way that they are living. For example, a husband and wife are in a marriage and they are happy together. But after a
few years, the husband became abusive and abused the wife. This can trigger a depression in the wife's mind because the person she loved so much
is actually aggressive and she is taking damages from the relationship. The feeling sadness and loneliness can trigger to a depression due to bullying
and indifferent behavior of the community or family members (Effect of Bullying). This can lead to poor mental health and poor physical health also

African Americans And The Civil War
During the Civil War, Georgia seceded from the United States and joined the Confederacy. In 1865, the Confederacy collapsed and the Civil War came
to an end. Following the Civil War, the city of Atlanta was destroyed. Despite the political and socioeconomic struggles during the Reconstruction Era,
Atlanta began rebuilding and became an up–and–coming metropolitan city where both whites and African–Americans could live together, "The white
man and the negro have lived together in this city more peacefully and in better spirit than in any other city, in either the North or South." As Atlanta's
economy was growing, so was its population. Atlanta began to experience a high influx of African–American migrants from surrounding states, and an
increase in tensions between whites and African–Americans began to grow. As African–Americans obtained rights, competition amongst whites and
blacks increased and tensions only further escalated between the two groups. In September of 1906, the racial hostility between whites and
African–Americans resulted in a violent race riot. Although Atlanta was once the city where whites and blacks could live together in racial harmony,
the Atlanta Race Riots of 1906 changed the relationship between the two groups. By the late nineteenth century, Atlanta had rebuilt its economy and
became the center of the economic boom in the South. Atlanta's population in 1880 was 89,000 and by 1900 the population increased to 150,000. In

shortfall of anywhere between $15 billion and $27 billion, have proposed deep reductions in school spending" (Cavanagh). If Texas' school budget gets
cut $7.5 to $14 billion dollars a year (the $15 and $27 billion figures are based on two–year budgets), and more than a quarter of illegal immigrants live
in Texas while the national calculated cost of educating said illegal students is $44.5 billion dollars, then it appears as if the illegal immigrants cost
more than the budget cuts. This means that if illegal aliens were sent back home, Texas would not only be able to forget about budget setbacks, but
would also be able to put a few billion dollars back into the struggling education system. Lest one forgets what most of these cuts will be made,

The Negative Impacts Of Integrity In Society
BrenГ© Brown once said, "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to
practice our values rather than simply professing them." Integrity is threatened everyday by three major combatants: cheating, lying, and
plagiarizing. Many do not realize the extent of their actions. Life is like the domino effect: an action always affects someone else. When a person
lacking integrity makes a decision, the people affected are often wounded in the process. A lack of integrity leads to a life of negative impacts with
the three main threats to integrity being cheating, lying, and plagiarizing. Cheating is universal, and it is very similar worldwide. According to the LA
Times, "Teachers say that hiding cheat sheets in socks, copying neighbors' answers and scribbling notes on walls are the most common tactics. Test
papers routinely are leaked as well, often by low–level school employees who sell them for the equivalent of a few dollars, and sometimes by teachers
or administrators whose professional standing rises if students perform well" (Shashank Bengali 3). This shows that children were not only ones
benefitting from cheating. The children themselves benefitted by passing the tests, but the others benefitted in monetary and social standings.
Although children benefit immediately from cheating, there are negative impacts in the long run. In an article by Bengali, Madhukar Yadhav says,

Marsalis was well known in Henry County for football. With football being one of the biggest events in Paris, being the star on the team is a quick

many great things. After joining Tennessee, Marsalis became well known in Knoxville with its thousand and thousands of supporters.

The Race Beat Chapter Summary
This semester we were obliged to peruse a far reaching novel entitled "The Race Beat the Press, The Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a
Nation". The Race Beat is a book composed by two greatly cordial columnists named Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff (in which Hank Klibanoff

Has your Welfare Benefits Been Shut Down?
Has your welfare benefits been shut down? Food stamps are a stimulus to people who are unemployed and homeless. It's also a way for people who are
working part time making low wages to receive additional assistance from the government. Hardships like this affect our communities with low income
or no income. The city of Atlanta, for instance, is rapidly growing. The United States Census Bureau says, "19.2% of Georgians are in poverty today."
Increased from last year, although there are many factors that contribute to poverty today. Atlanta's efforts rise in poverty, as food stamp cuts and
backlogging shortens local incentives in the Atlanta community, which needs to reform policies as spending, and enrollment responsibility. To help

The Hamilton Project says, "This makes it the country's most critical tool in battling poverty. The program kept 4.9 million out of poverty in 2012."
Many may argue, why are people still being unassisted in receiving SNAP benefits? As Michael Tanner writes in his policy analysis, "Snap is a

Georgia Lawsuit Four women in Georgia filed a lawsuit against Accord Service for discrimination. The company allegedly refused to put nurses in
in–home positions if they were deemed "too black, too old, or too foreign" (Ng 2011). Additionally, one of the plaintiffs who worked in Human
Resources found that the African American nurses were being paid significantly less money than white nurses. This plaintiff, Tracee Goodman,
stated that before placing a nurse in a home, she would be blatantly asked what color the nurse was and their age before a decision was made
(Seward 2011). If the client was white, then management would often insist a Caucasian nurse treat that patient. When the plaintiff brought this to
the attention of superiors, her own hours dwindled to the point where she could no longer afford to stay with the company. The policies set up by
Accord, according to the lawsuit, are based on racial differences. Since these were practices of the company itself, then in order to fix the situation to
prevent a suit, the company's prejudicial practices would have to be completely revamped. Jeffrey Keller (2011), an employment lawyer, was quoted
as saying: "Staffing according to race, regardless of the client's preferences, and paying certain workers more than others because of their race, would
be a blatant violation of federal and state labor laws that prohibit such discrimination. The company does not appear to be taking any steps to remedy

The fiscal, technological, and corporate developments lead to the further development of this tolerant, liberal, and educated group. Those who attend
Oakhurst Baptist Church would most closely identify with this group. There are social problems, though, that are underlying this "roaring boom" in the
city (Hunter 20). Population increase left many families struggling for living accommodations. Technological employment leapt, but unemployment for
the unskilled and young rose, particularly among blacks. This "presents an uncited and under–discussed problem in the community," (Hunter 12). Many
blacks became a group left behind during the modernization and "Manhattanization" of Atlanta in that they fill the "service economy". Globalization

Myrdal asserts that police professionalism is not only necessary with the rise of urbanization, but also essential to protect the rights of blacks living in
the rural South. In 1962, the same year as Hall's death, The Negro Digest published a letter by E.C. Hale, Chief of Police in Lexington, Kentucky. The
letter, titled "Why Racism Hurts Law Enforcement," expressed the white Chief's thoughts on what makes for a good police officer. Among other things,
Hale emphasizes the importance of "fairness, firmness, and impartiality," diligent record keeping, and sensitivity towards minority groups in policing.
Most importantly, Hale writes, "the experience of minority groups with police authorities has not always been a happy one. Indeed, the Negro has had
good reason to look with suspicion and fear upon the uniformed officer. ... The idea that race, creed, or nationality are extenuating factors, permitting
different applications of the law, must be abandoned." Hale goes so far as to strongly advise against using racial slurs and warns that one officer's
negative reputation within a community will impact that community's impression of the entire department.

The federal statute known as the Affordable Care Act, has been touted as a positive development towards healthcare in the United States. However,

implementation of it is widely contingent upon the successes of the plan in the various states and communities. In other words, it will be an

From a cost perspective, there is an argument which suggests that uninsured individuals are the reason that costs are being driven up. However,
according to the Pacific Research Institute, this is not the case. They argue that far less uninsured individuals use health care services, much less being
a strain on them. They point towards Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries as being responsible for the majority of the cost. If anything, the uninsured
are subsidizing the insured, as hospitals are often seen shifting costs to the uninsured, citing that they are doing so in order to quality for governmental
grants (Graham, 2007).
It is argued that reforms would not be a fix to insurer discrimination. Health policy institutes predict that patients would still be discriminated against –
Especially those that have complicated health issues and as a result, multiple bills. This would theoretically make it more difficult such patients to
contend with uncooperative insurance companies. Additionally, health plans could circumvent costs by not including enough doctors in their network
that address ailments which require costly treatments. In a competitive market, it is unlikely that insurance companies will "play fair" (Hilzenrath,

In the case of the New Republic, they were lucky that Stephen Glass' unethical behavior was exposed or else the magazine could have suffered a
great deal more than they already did having to admit that most of his articles were fabricated. Unethical journalism as a whole causes society to

information only further disrupts the trust between the media and society. Sports columnist Mitch Albom from the Detroit Free Press was

hospital continues to face some struggles as it relates to marketing and long term viability. St. Joseph must make an effort to identify their target
markets and then effectively open up lines of communication via marketing to those segments. Facility History and Summary Saint Joseph's hospital
was founded in 1880 by Sisters of Mercy and is Atlanta's oldest hospital. The hospital is located in northern Atlanta near the fairly affluent Sandy
Springs area. The facility maintains 410 beds and 750 physicians (St. Joseph, 2012). The hospital languished with poor financial performance for a
while due to lack of a stable customer base, even though cash reserves have always been strong (CHA, 2011). St Joseph looked for a buyer for some
time but with no luck but that changed when Emory University hospitals bought a 51 percent share in 2011 (Atlanta Journal–Constitution, 2011). The
Emory deal did not lead to a change in the hospitals Catholic affiliation (Catholic Health World, 2011). Atlanta, a metro area of nearly six million, is

Unfortunately under certain stipulations I do feel that juveniles should indeed be charged and sentenced as adults depending on the magnitude of the crime committed. The main purpose for the Juvenile system is to protect and rehabilitate instead of punishing youth under the age of eighteen. Youthcrime was on a rise in the late 1970s and the people thought that the get tough approach would work.

Unfortunately, this is not the way the media depicts health risk. Instead, they use disease and danger to profit. The more frightening and uncontrollable a danger, the higher the price tag is. The media resorts to exaggeration and misrepresentation in order to make money. The reasoning for these unscrupulous tactics is best explained in the book, Unreliable Sources. It explains that the media has two contradictory goals: a) to provide a public service, and b) to make money. Contemporary American media has chosen to focus on the latter. In the pursuit of this goal, they have become less ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In truth, the problem is not nearly so large. Some estimate that 1 in 500,000 or more surgeries will have this phenomenon; many times the chances are even less than those so graphically described. It occurs in .00002% of all surgeries and .0000027% of the general populous. This hardly constitutes a major problem compared to other problems like surgical errors, misdiagnosis, poor treatment procedures and other dangers in a doctor's office. This ailment was focused on because it is new, shocking and scares readers into reading next week to find out more. This is becoming the norm for other uncommon diseases, such as Ebola which is becoming clichГ©d. The danger of Ebola has become a metaphor for terror because–despite the efforts of scientists–there is no cure for it. The symptoms are shocking, grotesque and violent, and there is no miracle medicine or vaccination to stop it. It is so terrifying that it has been the model for many works of popular fiction such as The Andromeda Strain, Hot Zone and Outbreak–a cross between Steven King and Walter Cronkite. That is where the media picks it up. When it was realized that people were afraid of Ebola, it became a favorite article subject. Reporters described the extreme danger of a strand of virus like Ebola appearing in the United States and killing millions.

  • 4. The Rights Of The European Union The Right to Be Forgotten (September 2014) Victor J. Williams, MBA Student, Georgia Institute of Technology Scheller College of Business Abstract–The recent advent of right to be forgotten legislation in the European Union has triggered a debate over the ever–oscillating line of demarcation between privacy rights and personal freedoms. The right to be forgotten is essentially the theory that one should reserve the ability to choose what information about one's past may be publicly accessible. The intent of these policies is to limit the ramifications of one's forgiven and/or forgivable sins. By empowering the individual with the right to have unfavorable data deleted, it is hoped that onerous social stigmas can be mitigated. However, the impact of that kind of censorship on industry and individual liberties is cause for concern for those outside of the European Union. The task of adhering to right to be forgotten laws poses a headache for technology providers from a feasibility and financial standpoint. Additionally, many countries have laws (and populations) that run in opposition to the philosophical basis upon which right to be forgotten laws are based. This paper will examine the views of three stakeholders on right to be forgotten policies: The United States Government, the European Union, and myself.

  • 5. Junk Food Issues In America Summary "Junk Food Issues in America" Michael Moss is a New York Times investigative reporter who won a 2010 Pulitzer Prize for "The Burger That Shattered Her Life". Moss has reported for the Wall Street Journal, New York Newsday, and the Atlanta Journal –Constitution and taught at the Columbia University School of Journalism. Moss's essay states one of the main issues in America, obesity. Food companies are the main reason for this problem; but who is more at fault the consumers or the companies? In the reading, "The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food" Moss talks about a private meeting that was arranged for different food companies in America; the meeting was to talk about the emerging obesity issue in America and how to solve it with the help of these food companies. The meeting did not finish in good terms because of disagreements due to food companies not wanting to change their policies. Food companies spend lots of money to make the right products that consumers will get addictive to or products that will trick consumers into thinking they are not full. For this reason, food companies did not agree with changing their policies; which could result in loss of clients and money invested. From a consumer aspect, I agree that there is a huge issue with obesity in America; which involves adults and young children. Author of "The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food", Michael Moss argued "Today, one in three adults is considered clinically obese, along with one in five kids, and 24 Americans are afflicted by type 2 diabetes, often caused by poor diet, with another 79 million people have pre–diabetes" (477). This information scared me because it is amazing how much Americas are suffering of poor diet. As a parent this... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The actual research study appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on March 21, 2007.

The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Despite the fact that researchers found the results statistically significant to reject the null hypothesis, Tanner (2007) presents opposing viewpoints from other researchers. The lead researcher is quoted as saying "There's not a ton of weight loss here" (Tanner, 2007). Many factors challenge the practical significance of this study: the significance level p < .05, the marginal overall weight loss in obese women, the limited sample studied and the inability to apply the results to other populations, and the confounding factor all indicate that the results are inappropriate to be used inferentially.

She performed a qualitative research analysis examining the dominant frame in each local newspaper, and how the journalist established the frame in the story.

An hour south on I–85, it is not too crowded or too deserted. The people are friendly and the schools are of high quality. There are four good places for looking for real estate in Newnan, and all of them are easy to use and navigate. Access Coweta is a local online bulletin board that has free listings for those who are selling their homes or renting their homes. It is great for people who are looking for a good deal and who are looking for homes that are for sale by owner listings that are not found in the more mainstream markets. This is a good place to look if you do not have a buyer 's agent and just want to see what is out there in the by owner market. Also, if you like the experience of dealing person to person instead of through the agents, this is a viable option. It is possible to show the listing to your agent and then have them take care of contacting the buyer. I would recommend going this route and having your agent be the facilitator when it (or if) it comes down to offer time. Even though I have already bought my home and am quite happy in it, I enjoy looking at the site and seeing who is selling and what they are asking.

  • 14. African Americans And The Civil War During the Civil War, Georgia seceded from the United States and joined the Confederacy. In 1865, the Confederacy collapsed and the Civil War came to an end. Following the Civil War, the city of Atlanta was destroyed. Despite the political and socioeconomic struggles during the Reconstruction Era, Atlanta began rebuilding and became an up–and–coming metropolitan city where both whites and African–Americans could live together, "The white man and the negro have lived together in this city more peacefully and in better spirit than in any other city, in either the North or South." As Atlanta's economy was growing, so was its population. Atlanta began to experience a high influx of African–American migrants from surrounding states, and an increase in tensions between whites and African–Americans began to grow. As African–Americans obtained rights, competition amongst whites and blacks increased and tensions only further escalated between the two groups. In September of 1906, the racial hostility between whites and African–Americans resulted in a violent race riot. Although Atlanta was once the city where whites and blacks could live together in racial harmony, the Atlanta Race Riots of 1906 changed the relationship between the two groups. By the late nineteenth century, Atlanta had rebuilt its economy and became the center of the economic boom in the South.

Millions of illegal aliens receive free education every day and it costs the country billions of dollars. California spends most of this money, but Texas does not sit far behind. Not only will this bankrupt and destroy one of the best education systems in the world, but it will also encourage more and more illegals to bring their children to America.

These expenditures are bad enough, but the situation quickly turns from workable to hopeless when considering the budget cuts that Texas schools must make over the next two years. Sean Cavanagh reveals the state's pending cuts in the following quote: "State officials, facing a–two–year budget shortfall of anywhere between $15 billion and $27 billion, have proposed deep reductions in school spending" (Cavanagh). If Texas' school budget gets cut $7.5 to $14 billion dollars a year (the $15 and $27 billion figures are based on two–year budgets), and more than a quarter of illegal immigrants live in Texas while the national calculated cost of educating said illegal students is $44.5 billion dollars, then it appears as if the illegal immigrants cost more than the budget cuts. This means that if illegal aliens were sent back home, Texas would not only be able to forget about budget setbacks, but would also be able to put a few billion dollars back into the struggling education system. Lest one forgets what most of these cuts will be made, Cavanagh estimates that "Texas school systems would be forced to cut between 80,000 and 100,000 jobs if the spending cuts took effect" (Cavanagh).

  • 19. The Negative Impacts Of Integrity In Society BrenГ© Brown once said, "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them." Integrity is threatened everyday by three major combatants: cheating, lying, and plagiarizing. Many do not realize the extent of their actions. Life is like the domino effect: an action always affects someone else. When a person lacking integrity makes a decision, the people affected are often wounded in the process. A lack of integrity leads to a life of negative impacts with the three main threats to integrity being cheating, lying, and plagiarizing. Cheating is universal, and it is very similar worldwide. According to the LA Times, "Teachers say that hiding cheat sheets in socks, copying neighbors' answers and scribbling notes on walls are the most common tactics. Test papers routinely are leaked as well, often by low–level school employees who sell them for the equivalent of a few dollars, and sometimes by teachers or administrators whose professional standing rises if students perform well" (Shashank Bengali 3). This shows that children were not only ones benefitting from cheating. The children themselves benefitted by passing the tests, but the others benefitted in monetary and social standings. Although children benefit immediately from cheating, there are negative impacts in the long run. In an article by Bengali, Madhukar Yadhav says, "...they are used to ...

Additionally, one of the plaintiffs who worked in Human Resources found that the African American nurses were being paid significantly less money than white nurses. This plaintiff, Tracee Goodman, stated that before placing a nurse in a home, she would be blatantly asked what color the nurse was and their age before a decision was made (Seward 2011). If the client was white, then management would often insist a Caucasian nurse treat that patient. When the plaintiff brought this to the attention of superiors, her own hours dwindled to the point where she could no longer afford to stay with the company.

Since these were practices of the company itself, then in order to fix the situation to prevent a suit, the company's prejudicial practices would have to be completely revamped.

They point towards Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries as being responsible for the majority of the cost.
