Here are detailed responses to the questions in 100-200 words each:
1. The main differences in the companies' approaches are size and resources. The large company has more formalized and standardized processes, likely due to its large size. The small startup is more informal and personal due to its small size and limited resources. The medium-sized company falls in between with some formal processes but also a personal touch. A similarity is that all three emphasize introducing new hires to company culture from day one.
2. An important thing missing from all three approaches is assessing job fit and competencies early on. While culture is important, ensuring new hires have the skills and qualifications for their roles is critical to retention and performance. None of

I remember when my grandfather told me stories about
some of the greatest wars in the world. In Medieval times, wars
were characterized by swords and shields. People often used
cavalry and horses when launching attacks against enemies. In
most cases, spies would be sent before attack in order to
determine the location, numbers and strength of the enemy.
Attacks would then be made at night when the enemy would
least expect them to increase the chances of victory. These
stories were very interesting and carried important information
which can be regarded as a historical record. The reason behind
this is that this type of battlefronts do not exist anymore.
Today, people fight with weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
that have the capability of killing hundreds of thousands in just
one detonation and leave even more with fatal injuries. In
modern times, people use the newest technology, such as
electronic warfare, to spot and stop the enemy from attacking
one's country. There are various types of electronic warfare
used today. For instance, technological advancement has
enabled development of devices that cover enemy weapons with
radiation as well as remotely stopping and disabling enemy
vehicles. Some warfare technologies cut off electricity and all
electronic devices and stop distant weapons from firing. One of
the most devastating effects of electronic warfare is the harm
they do to human beings and wildlife. They also cause the
electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which can be dangerous for other
devices. In order to stop such catastrophes in future, people
should limit the use of electronic warfare and have a stronger
defense against it. The purpose of this paper is to describe and
illustrate the effectiveness of electronic warfare as a defense
mechanism by countries but also explain its devastating and
detrimental impacts. The paper sheds light on the different
impacts that electronic warfare has on human, wildlife and
2. electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and the costly nature of the
aftermath of its use.
Terrorism, cyber-attacks and other related crimes have
significantly increased and dominate the world today. There is
urgent need by governments around the world to curb external
attacks against their people. One advantage of EW is that it
provides very effective solutions to counter terrorism. Using
electronic warfare technology, countries are able to gain access
to credible intelligence and the detect location of enemies
thereby being able to disarm and arrest them. EW has also
achieved significant results in securing boarders and protecting
citizens. Since 9-11, the U.S. Army ground and aviation units
have developed new sensors that detect locations of terrorist
groups and can effectively disable and dismantle their networks.
Another advantage of EW that has been identified and verified
is that it cuts off electronic devices. This is another feature that
can be widely used by the military. EW has developed gadgets
that use high frequencies to jam any electromagnetic devices. In
“Electronic Warfare for the Digitized Battlefront” Michael
Farter explains to the readers how electronic warfare works on
electronic devices. He describes that electronic attack with the
use of high-level electromagnetic energy stops all electronic
equipment. This includes military devices, such as weapons,
vehicles, and planes, among others. It also has the same effects
on household electronic equipment, mainly computers and
phones. The advantage of this system is that all computers
which control weapons of mass destruction can be automatically
blocked and disabled. Also, the same happens for any remote
control devices used in combat (Frater, 15).
Still, another advantage of EW is that it allows countries to
protect their citizens and keep enemies away with significantly
lower costs compared to traditional means of protection. Over
time, EW also has proved to have very low maintenance costs.
Additionally, in the event of a battlefield confrontation, nations
can very easily protect their own troops using EW technology
while at the same time inflicting maximum and devastating
3. damage to the enemies. The number of casualties experienced
by the attacker is minimized (Browne and Thurbon, 26).
While EW has multiple strategic military advantages, its
effects can also be horrifying because of the harm it inflicts
upon the humans. EW emits all kinds of radiation that is used in
interrupting electronic devices belonging to the enemy. While
doing so, this harmful radiation targets citizens living nearby.
The radiation can be fatal to individuals, and lead to
catastrophic diseases. According to Jamail, even a low-level of
radiation called EMF leads to diseases such as arrhythmias and
tachycardia, other heart diseases and mental illnesses such as
depression. EMF radiation can cause infertility and leukemia.
This is just a fraction of what radiation can do. The bigger
levels of radiation can cause damage to the human’s body by
burning it or leaving some permanent marks. Populations living
near testing grounds for EW are also at great risk of being
affected (Jamail).
The radiation coming from the electronic warfare can also
be dangerous to the wildlife as well. This destruction happens to
plants and animals living in the neighborhood of war zone or
testing areas. Animals are impacted just as humans and face
devastating health impacts such as infertility and giving birth to
deformed offspring. According to Huff, electronic warfare
training puts animals and wildlife at risk due to the emission of
the radiation. The earth, water and air get polluted by the
radiation. The plants that serve as the main source of food for
some animals is poisoned making them inedible. Plants also die
due to heavy radiation levels. Radiations from EW do not
disappear easily and they remain in the ground and in the water
sources for years. EW radiations also causes migration of
animals from contaminated grounds thereby changing the local
environment by disturbance (Huff).
The cost damages from EW are also huge. The biggest
expense of all is the cost the damage caused by electronic
warfare and the EMP effect of it. According to Koop, EMP
effect destroys all the electronic devices in the close range of
4. the blast and later the gamma rays have even further and long
distance effect on other equipment. This means that all
electronics in the neighborhood get damages to the point that
electronics have to be replaced. There are also basic devices
used in an average household which are expensive. All the
damage done to this equipment is irreversible. The expense of
purchasing new equipment comes from the pocket of the
civilians and the government has nothing to do with the
situation, despite the fact that they caused it. Additionally, the
expense of making the EW weapons comes out of the taxpayers
pocket rather than the government finances (Koop).
In conclusion, electronic warfare is one of the most
powerful devices used today in the fighting. It allows to disable
enemy vehicles, weapons of mass destruction, and stop
electricity and all electronic devices, even though the military
has its advantages, EW also cause damage to people and
wildlife, by killing them at close range. It pollutes the
environment also scares away the animals. People also can
suffer from various diseases such as psychiatric disorders,
depression, cancer and heart problems as a result of the
radiation emitted from electronic warfare. EMP effect is also
very expensive because the damage is often irreversible. In the
end, all the equipment has to be replaced, and taxpayers bear
the cost. The only way to solve the problem is to limit the use
of EW, which limits the use of technology and teaching people
how to identify and reduce the effects of it. While EW
technology is a great tool to protect States against enemies it
also harms humans and wildlife, and cause the effect of EMP
and after following the use of this technology is very expensive.

Full Disclosure on Sex Offenders
Case #1: The first case involves an office equipment company
where a 34-year old office equipment repair technician was
paroled after serving a 7-year sentence for attacking women on
jogging paths. His previous employer offered to rehire him as a
field technician who would travel to other offices to repair
business machines as he has been an excellent employee with
outstanding repair skills. Students’ views will differ. However,
most students will probably think that the employee should be
able to continue his job since he has paid his time for his illegal
actions. If his job was more connected to jogging paths, such as
a park employee, then the answer would be different.
6. Case #2: The second case involves an African American who
had served 10 years for child pornographic possession. He is
driving a school bus for a church and has thus far been a model
employee although he did not list his conviction on the
application form even though the question had been asked. In
this case, most students will probably believe that the manager
should not employ this person as a school bus driver since he is
in contact with many children. Also, he lied on this employment
application.
Questions
1. Discuss what a manager should do in each of the two
Michigan cases.
2. What circumstances might lead you to make different
decisions in different cases under Megan’s Law?
There are many factors that might lead one to make different
decisions in different cases. Some examples would be 1) How
long had the employee been employed before you found out
he/she was listed on the list? 2) Was the employee honest on his
application? 3) How long ago did the illegal behavior take
place? 4) What is the employee’s performance work record? 5)
Have other employees complained about this employee?
