Colossal Corporation maintains a subsidiary in Serafini, a small country in Eastern Europe. This subsidiary is incorporated in the state of Delaware as New Brand Design, Inc. (NBD), a company that designs, brands, and manufactures innovative electronic products, and markets and distributes them for resale across the globe. NBD has been admitted to conduct business in Serafini.
NBD has been manufacturing and distributing a laptop computer with 360-degree technology. The thin tablet can easily convert into a laptop by flipping the screen over and locking it in place against the back of the keyboard. The laptop, marketed under the name Dualplex 360 is very popular and is distributed primarily in Western Europe, North America, and South Africa.
The Dualplex 360 went on the market six months ago, and the product is selling out in the United States and Europe. Unfortunately, consumers have reported that some laptops that were shipped to the United States have overheated and ignited when they have remained plugged into a power source for too long. In a few cases, the laptops have burned users and damaged property.
NBD’s research and development team was fully aware of the overheating problem when putting the Dualplex 360 on the market but performed a cost-benefit analysis and determined that the payouts from lawsuits would be less than the cost of redesigning and manufacturing a new laptop. The research and development team covered up the defect but included the following disclaimer in the instruction manual:
DO NOT LEAVE THE DUALPLEX 360 PLUGGED IN TO A POWER SOURCE AFTER THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED. SELLER EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE. NOR IS THERE ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY.
The instruction manual contained no other warnings regarding the possibility of overheating or danger. To date, all instances of overheating have resulted from consumers ignoring the warning and leaving their computers plugged in after the battery is fully charged, although some claim they never read the instruction manual so did not see the warning.
The executive board of NBD has reached out to the CEO of Colossal to discuss these issues and the potential that NBD will be held liable for the overheating laptops and resulting injuries and damage to property. The CEO informed the board that the company’s international task force will research and address these concerns.
Learning ResourceFraud and Negligence Torts
Types of Torts
There are three broad categories of torts:
· intentional torts—Intentional torts, as the name implies, are characterized by the mental intent of the tortfeasor. The tortfeasor undertakes an activity with either the desire to bring about an intended result or with the knowledge that the result is “substantially certain." When the action results in an identifiable harm or loss to a third .
Nurses face various types of legal liability in their work. This includes personal liability for their own actions, employer liability if an employee commits a tort, and supervisor liability for the actions of others they oversee. Nurses have a duty to ensure patients receive proper care, maintain patient confidentiality, avoid defamation and fraud, and obtain informed consent. Common issues nurses encounter legally include medication errors, assault/battery, false imprisonment, and liability in specialty areas like maternal/infant care. Proper documentation, compliance with policies and procedures, and maintaining licensure can help nurses meet their legal responsibilities.
1. Nurses can face both civil and criminal liability for negligence in nursing practice. Negligence is defined as failing to act as a reasonably prudent nurse. Common negligent acts include burns, leaving objects in patients, medication errors, and failure to observe patients.
2. Malpractice refers to improper nursing care with serious consequences. Nurses must follow legal requirements for medical orders, prescriptions, documentation, and supervision of students and aides.

Legal system in Nursing management .pptxSujiMerline
This document discusses various types of laws, tort law, and professional liabilities for nurses. It defines different types of laws including statutory law, common law, and administrative law. It outlines intentional torts like assault, battery, and invasion of privacy. It also discusses negligent torts and quasi-intentional torts like defamation and misrepresentation. The document covers different theories of liability and professional responsibilities of nurses including informed consent, documentation, staffing issues, patient teaching, and communication. It also mentions laws like the Good Samaritan Act, HIPAA, and do not resuscitate orders.
Vicarious liability holds an employer responsible for harm caused by their employees, even if the employer is not at fault. In this case study, an employee of a company (Tex) negligently caused injuries to a third party (the plaintiff) while working. Under the principle of vicarious liability, the plaintiff can sue both the directly negligent employee (Tex) and the employer for damages. The plaintiff may collect damages from either the employee, employer, or both, as they are both jointly and severally liable for the employee's torts committed within the scope of employment. Testimony from the co-employee (Rex) could help the plaintiff in their case against the employer and other employee.
This document discusses various torts and their application to cyber law. It defines a tort as a civil wrong that results in injury. There are three main categories of torts: intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Negligence requires four elements - duty, breach, injury, and causation. Strict liability does not require fault. The document explores how various intentional torts like defamation, fraud, and interference apply in cyberspace. It also discusses if internet service providers can be liable for subscribers' actions in tort cases involving spam or viruses.
The document discusses key concepts related to nursing documentation and legal liability, including:
1) The purposes of medical records which include substantiating patient health conditions, communicating among providers, recording patient response to care, and resolving legal issues.
2) Key definitions like negligence, the standard of care, and elements of a negligence claim.
3) Common flaws in medical records that plaintiff's attorneys look for such as undocumented gaps, deviations from policies, and biased comments.
4) Strategies for strong documentation including objective assessments, timeliness, and avoiding personal opinions.
CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE There are duties that the corporation.docxvanesaburnand
CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE
There are duties that the corporation itself owes to the general public and to its patients.
These duties arise from statutes, regulations, principles of law developed by the courts,
and the internal operating rules of the organization. If a corporation has a duty and fails
in the exercise of that duty, it has the same liability to the injured party as an individual
would have.
Corporate negligence is a doctrine under which the hospital is liable if it fails to uphold the
proper standard of care owed the patient, which is to ensure the patient’s safety and well-
being while at the hospital. This theory of liability creates a nondelegable duty which the
hospital owes directly to a patient. Therefore, an injured party does not have to rely on and
establish the negligence of a third party.6
Corporate negligence occurs when a health care corporation fails to perform those
duties it owes directly to a patient or to anyone else to whom a duty may extend. If such
a duty is breached and a patient is injured as a result of that breach, the organization
can be held culpable under the theory of corporate negligence.
Liability extends to nonemployees who act as a hospital’s ostensible agents. For
example, inThompson v. Nason Hospital,7 a Pennsylvania court recognized that
hospitals are more than mere conduits through which health care professionals are
brought into contact with patients. Hospitals owe some nondelegable duties directly to
their patients independent of the negligence of their employees, such as duties to use
reasonable care in the maintenance of safe and adequate facilities and equipment; select
and retain only competent physicians; oversee all persons who practice medicine within
their walls as to patient care; and formulate, adopt, and enforce adequate rules and
policies to ensure quality care for their patients.

In 1965, the landmark case Darling v. Charleston Community Memorial Hospital had a
major impact on the liability of health care organizations.8 The court enunciated a
“corporate negligence doctrine” under which hospitals have a duty to provide adequately
trained medical and nursing staff. A hospital is responsible, in conjunction with its
medical staff, for establishing policies and procedures for monitoring the quality of
medicine practiced within the hospital.
Darling involved an 18-year-old college football player who was preparing for a career
as a teacher and coach. The patient, a defensive halfback for his college football team,
was injured during a play. He was rushed to the emergency department of a small,
accredited community hospital where the only physician on emergency duty that day
was Dr. Alexander, a general practitioner. Alexander had no.
This document discusses legal issues in nursing. It begins by outlining the different types of law that govern nursing practice, including constitutional law, common law, statutory law like Nurse Practice Acts, and administrative law. It then discusses the key components of Nurse Practice Acts and how they delineate nursing scope and protect nurses from unlicensed practice charges. The document also examines definitions of nursing, scope of practice, and professional resources. It outlines common legal issues nurses face like negligence, malpractice, assault, battery, and HIPAA violations. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on changing laws and practices to avoid legal issues in nursing.

The document discusses issues related to bad faith claims in insurance coverage. It covers identifying bad faith torts and damages, negotiation and settlement techniques, current legislation impacting insurance defense, litigating insurance claims, and avoiding bad faith claims. The topics are presented in sections with questions and answers to follow each section.
Childcare workers have a legal duty of care to keep children safe. This duty originated from a 1932 UK court case where a woman found snails in her ginger beer and sued. The court established the concept of duty of care, where people in positions of responsibility have an obligation to protect those under their care. For childcare workers, this means they must comply with regulations and agreements to care for children appropriately. Breaching this duty, through negligent actions, could result in legal damages if a child is injured as a result. Childcare workers owe the highest duty of care to young children due to their vulnerability.

1 The Role of the Correctional Counselor CHAPTER OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, you will be able to: 1. Identify the functions and parameters of the counseling process. 2. Discuss the competing interests between security and counseling in the correctional counseling process. 3. Know common terms and concerns associated with custodial corrections. 4. Understand the role of the counselor as facilitator. 5. Identify the various personal characteristics associated with effective counselors. 6. Be aware of the impact that burnout can have on a counselor’s professional performance. 7. Identify the various means of training and supervision associated with counseling. PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders. It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and e.
· Debates continue regarding what constitutes an appropriate rol.docxgerardkortney
· Debates continue regarding what constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary. Some argue that federal judges have become too powerful and that judges “legislate from the bench.”
1. What does it mean for a judge to be an activist?
2. What does it mean for a judge to be a restrainist?
· Although conservatives had long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years conservative judges and justices have been likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government.
3. When is judicial activism appropriate? Explain.
· To defenders of the right to privacy, it is implicitly embodied in the Constitution in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. To opponents, it is judge-made law because there is no explicit reference to it under the Constitution. The right to privacy dates back to at least 1890, when Boston attorneys Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis equated it with the right to be left alone from journalists who engaged in yellow journalism.
4. In short, do you believe a right to privacy exists in the federal Constitution. Why or why not?

A case study.
Deborah Shore, aged 45, works for a small corporation in the Research and Development department.
When she first became a member of the department 15 years ago, Deborah was an unusually creative and productive researcher; her efforts quickly resulted in raises and promotions within the department and earned her the respect of her colleagues. Now, Deborah finds herself less interested in doing research; she is no longer making creative contributions to her department, although she is making contributions to its administration.
She is still respected by the coworkers who have known her since she joined the firm, but not by her younger coworkers.
Analyze the case study from the psychoanalytic, learning, and contextual perspectives: how would a theorist from each perspective explain Deborah's development? Which perspective do you believe provides the most adequate explanation, and why?
2. Interview your mother (and grandmothers, if possible), asking about experiences with childbirth. Include your own experiences if you have had children. Write a paper summarizing these childbirth experiences and comparing them with the contemporary experiences described in the text.
3. Identify a "type" of parent (e.g., single parent, teenage parent, low-income parent, dual-career couple) who is most likely to be distressed because an infant has a "difficult" temperament. Explain why you believe that this type of parent would have particular problems with a difficult infant. Write an informational brochure for the selected type of parent. The brochure should include an explanation of temperament in general and of the difficult temperament in particular, and give suggestions for parents of difficult infants.
4. Plan an educational unit covering nutrition, health, and safety for use with preschoolers and kindergartners. Take into account young children's cognitive and linguistic characteristics. The project should include (1) an outline of the content of the unit; and (2) a description of how the content would be presented, given the intellectual abilities of preschoolers. For example, how long would each lesson be? What kinds of pictures or other audiovisual materials would be used? How would this content be integrated with the children's other activities in preschool or kindergarten?
5. Visit two day care centers and evaluate each center using the information from the text as a guide. Request a fee schedule from each center. Write a paper summarizing your evaluation of each center.
Note:
Unless you are an actual potential client of the center, contact the director beforehand to explain the actual purpose of the visit, obtain permission to visit, and schedule your visit so as to minimize disruption to the center's schedule.
6. Watch some children's television programs and advertising, examine some children's toys and their packaging, read some children's books, and listen to some children's recor.

It explains that employers have a duty to use reasonable care in the hiring process to avoid hiring individuals who could harm others. The presentation provides tips for proper documentation of reference checks, background checks, and other screening processes to prevent liability in negligent hiring lawsuits. It summarizes two example negligent hiring lawsuits, one involving a security guard who set a fire and another where a guard allowed theft to occur. Both examples highlight how lack of documentation and screening led to employer liability.

One young lady told me, “This hospital [in a small rural town] scored 100. they have the nerve to publish this. They killed my mom. I wouldn’t take my dog there.”
Corporate Negligence
Occurs when a corporation fails to perform duties and responsibilities it owes directly patients, visitors, and staff.
If a duty is breached and a patient is injured as a result of that breach, the corporation can be liable for a patient’s injuries under the theory of corporate negligence.

Legal system in Nursing management .pptxSujiMerline
This document discusses various types of laws, tort law, and professional liabilities for nurses. It defines different types of laws including statutory law, common law, and administrative law. It outlines intentional torts like assault, battery, and invasion of privacy. It also discusses negligent torts and quasi-intentional torts like defamation and misrepresentation. The document covers different theories of liability and professional responsibilities of nurses including informed consent, documentation, staffing issues, patient teaching, and communication. It also mentions laws like the Good Samaritan Act, HIPAA, and do not resuscitate orders.
Vicarious liability holds an employer responsible for harm caused by their employees, even if the employer is not at fault. In this case study, an employee of a company (Tex) negligently caused injuries to a third party (the plaintiff) while working. Under the principle of vicarious liability, the plaintiff can sue both the directly negligent employee (Tex) and the employer for damages. The plaintiff may collect damages from either the employee, employer, or both, as they are both jointly and severally liable for the employee's torts committed within the scope of employment. Testimony from the co-employee (Rex) could help the plaintiff in their case against the employer and other employee.
This document discusses various torts and their application to cyber law. It defines a tort as a civil wrong that results in injury. There are three main categories of torts: intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. Negligence requires four elements - duty, breach, injury, and causation. Strict liability does not require fault. The document explores how various intentional torts like defamation, fraud, and interference apply in cyberspace. It also discusses if internet service providers can be liable for subscribers' actions in tort cases involving spam or viruses.
The document discusses key concepts related to nursing documentation and legal liability, including:
1) The purposes of medical records which include substantiating patient health conditions, communicating among providers, recording patient response to care, and resolving legal issues.
2) Key definitions like negligence, the standard of care, and elements of a negligence claim.
3) Common flaws in medical records that plaintiff's attorneys look for such as undocumented gaps, deviations from policies, and biased comments.
4) Strategies for strong documentation including objective assessments, timeliness, and avoiding personal opinions.
CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE There are duties that the corporation.docxvanesaburnand
CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE
There are duties that the corporation itself owes to the general public and to its patients.
These duties arise from statutes, regulations, principles of law developed by the courts,
and the internal operating rules of the organization. If a corporation has a duty and fails
in the exercise of that duty, it has the same liability to the injured party as an individual
would have.
Corporate negligence is a doctrine under which the hospital is liable if it fails to uphold the
proper standard of care owed the patient, which is to ensure the patient’s safety and well-
being while at the hospital. This theory of liability creates a nondelegable duty which the
hospital owes directly to a patient. Therefore, an injured party does not have to rely on and
establish the negligence of a third party.6
Corporate negligence occurs when a health care corporation fails to perform those
duties it owes directly to a patient or to anyone else to whom a duty may extend. If such
a duty is breached and a patient is injured as a result of that breach, the organization
can be held culpable under the theory of corporate negligence.
Liability extends to nonemployees who act as a hospital’s ostensible agents. For
example, inThompson v. Nason Hospital,7 a Pennsylvania court recognized that
hospitals are more than mere conduits through which health care professionals are
brought into contact with patients. Hospitals owe some nondelegable duties directly to
their patients independent of the negligence of their employees, such as duties to use
reasonable care in the maintenance of safe and adequate facilities and equipment; select
and retain only competent physicians; oversee all persons who practice medicine within
their walls as to patient care; and formulate, adopt, and enforce adequate rules and
policies to ensure quality care for their patients.

In 1965, the landmark case Darling v. Charleston Community Memorial Hospital had a
major impact on the liability of health care organizations.8 The court enunciated a
“corporate negligence doctrine” under which hospitals have a duty to provide adequately
trained medical and nursing staff. A hospital is responsible, in conjunction with its
medical staff, for establishing policies and procedures for monitoring the quality of
medicine practiced within the hospital.
Darling involved an 18-year-old college football player who was preparing for a career
as a teacher and coach. The patient, a defensive halfback for his college football team,
was injured during a play. He was rushed to the emergency department of a small,
accredited community hospital where the only physician on emergency duty that day
was Dr. Alexander, a general practitioner. Alexander had no.
This document discusses legal issues in nursing. It begins by outlining the different types of law that govern nursing practice, including constitutional law, common law, statutory law like Nurse Practice Acts, and administrative law. It then discusses the key components of Nurse Practice Acts and how they delineate nursing scope and protect nurses from unlicensed practice charges. The document also examines definitions of nursing, scope of practice, and professional resources. It outlines common legal issues nurses face like negligence, malpractice, assault, battery, and HIPAA violations. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on changing laws and practices to avoid legal issues in nursing.
Personal injury lawyers assist their clients in seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from accidents or incidents.

The document discusses issues related to bad faith claims in insurance coverage. It covers identifying bad faith torts and damages, negotiation and settlement techniques, current legislation impacting insurance defense, litigating insurance claims, and avoiding bad faith claims. The topics are presented in sections with questions and answers to follow each section.
Childcare workers have a legal duty of care to keep children safe. This duty originated from a 1932 UK court case where a woman found snails in her ginger beer and sued. The court established the concept of duty of care, where people in positions of responsibility have an obligation to protect those under their care. For childcare workers, this means they must comply with regulations and agreements to care for children appropriately. Breaching this duty, through negligent actions, could result in legal damages if a child is injured as a result. Childcare workers owe the highest duty of care to young children due to their vulnerability.

1 The Role of the Correctional Counselor CHAPTER OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, you will be able to: 1. Identify the functions and parameters of the counseling process. 2. Discuss the competing interests between security and counseling in the correctional counseling process. 3. Know common terms and concerns associated with custodial corrections. 4. Understand the role of the counselor as facilitator. 5. Identify the various personal characteristics associated with effective counselors. 6. Be aware of the impact that burnout can have on a counselor’s professional performance. 7. Identify the various means of training and supervision associated with counseling. PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders. It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and e.

· Debates continue regarding what constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary. Some argue that federal judges have become too powerful and that judges “legislate from the bench.”
1. What does it mean for a judge to be an activist?
2. What does it mean for a judge to be a restrainist?
· Although conservatives had long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years conservative judges and justices have been likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government.
3. When is judicial activism appropriate? Explain.
· To defenders of the right to privacy, it is implicitly embodied in the Constitution in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. To opponents, it is judge-made law because there is no explicit reference to it under the Constitution. The right to privacy dates back to at least 1890, when Boston attorneys Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis equated it with the right to be left alone from journalists who engaged in yellow journalism.
4. In short, do you believe a right to privacy exists in the federal Constitution. Why or why not?

A case study.
Deborah Shore, aged 45, works for a small corporation in the Research and Development department.
When she first became a member of the department 15 years ago, Deborah was an unusually creative and productive researcher; her efforts quickly resulted in raises and promotions within the department and earned her the respect of her colleagues. Now, Deborah finds herself less interested in doing research; she is no longer making creative contributions to her department, although she is making contributions to its administration.
She is still respected by the coworkers who have known her since she joined the firm, but not by her younger coworkers.
Analyze the case study from the psychoanalytic, learning, and contextual perspectives: how would a theorist from each perspective explain Deborah's development? Which perspective do you believe provides the most adequate explanation, and why?
2. Interview your mother (and grandmothers, if possible), asking about experiences with childbirth. Include your own experiences if you have had children. Write a paper summarizing these childbirth experiences and comparing them with the contemporary experiences described in the text.
3. Identify a "type" of parent (e.g., single parent, teenage parent, low-income parent, dual-career couple) who is most likely to be distressed because an infant has a "difficult" temperament. Explain why you believe that this type of parent would have particular problems with a difficult infant. Write an informational brochure for the selected type of parent. The brochure should include an explanation of temperament in general and of the difficult temperament in particular, and give suggestions for parents of difficult infants.
4. Plan an educational unit covering nutrition, health, and safety for use with preschoolers and kindergartners. Take into account young children's cognitive and linguistic characteristics. The project should include (1) an outline of the content of the unit; and (2) a description of how the content would be presented, given the intellectual abilities of preschoolers. For example, how long would each lesson be? What kinds of pictures or other audiovisual materials would be used? How would this content be integrated with the children's other activities in preschool or kindergarten?
5. Visit two day care centers and evaluate each center using the information from the text as a guide. Request a fee schedule from each center. Write a paper summarizing your evaluation of each center.
Note:
Unless you are an actual potential client of the center, contact the director beforehand to explain the actual purpose of the visit, obtain permission to visit, and schedule your visit so as to minimize disruption to the center's schedule.
6. Watch some children's television programs and advertising, examine some children's toys and their packaging, read some children's books, and listen to some children's recor.

“A fascinating journey across centuries towards the world as we experience it today. ... It is
the voice of the ordinary people, and women in particular, their ideas and actions, protests
and sufferings that have gone into the making of this alternative narrative.”
——Sobhanlal Datta Gupta, former Surendra Nath Banerjee
Professor of Political Science, University of Calcutta
“A history of Europe that doesn’t remove the Europeans. Here there are not only kings,
presidents and institutions but the pulse of the people and social organizations that shaped
Europe. A must-read.”
——Raquel Varela, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
“Lively and engaging. William A Pelz takes the reader through a thousand years of
European history from below. This is the not the story of lords, kings and rulers. It is the
story of the ordinary people of Europe and their struggles against those lords, kings and
rulers, from the Middle Ages to the present day. A fine introduction.”
——Francis King, editor, Socialist History
“This book is an exception to the rule that the winner takes all. It highlights the importance
of the commoners which often is only shown in the dark corners of mainstream history
books. From Hussites, Levellers and sans-culottes to the women who defended the Paris
Commune and the workers who occupied the shipyards during the Carnation revolution in
Portugal. The author gives them their deserved place in history just like Howard Zinn did
for the American people.”
——Sjaak van der Velden, International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam
“The author puts his focus on the lives and historical impact of those excluded from
power and wealth: peasants and serfs of the Middle Ages, workers during the Industrial
Revolution, women in a patriarchic order that transcended different eras. This focus not
only makes history relevant for contemporary debates on social justice, it also urges the
reader to develop a critical approach.”
——Ralf Hoffrogge, Ruhr-Universität Bochum
“An exciting story of generations of people struggling for better living conditions, and for
social and political rights. ... This story has to be considered now, when the very notions of
enlightenment, progress and social change are being questioned.”
——Boris Kagarlitsky, director of Institute for globalization studies and social
movements, Moscow, and author of From Empires to Imperialism
“A splendid antidote to the many European histories dominated by kings, businessmen
and generals. It should be on the shelves of both academics and activists ... A lively and
informative intellectual tour-de-force.”

· Clarifying some things on the Revolution
I am going to say something, and I want you to hear me.
I am a scholar of the Revolution. That's the topic of my dissertation. Please believe me when I say that I know a lot about it.
I also happen to know--and this is well-supported by historians--that the Revolution was a civil war in which, for the first several years, Revolutionaries and Loyalists were evenly matched.
I will repeat that. Evenly matched. Loyalists were not merely too cowardly to fight, and they were not old fogies who hated the idea of freedom. Most had been in the Colonies for generations. Many of them took up arms for their King and their country. And when they lost, you confiscated their homes and they fled with the clothes on their back to Canada, England, and other places of the Empire. Both sides--both sides--committed unspeakable atrocities against civilians whom they disagreed with.
Now, a lot of you love to repeat some very fervent patriotic diatribe about how great the Revolution was. That's not history. That's propaganda. Know the difference.
History has shades of gray. History is complex and ambiguous. Washington, for instance, wore dentures made from the teeth of his slaves. Benjamin Franklin's son was the last royal governor of New Jersey. Did you know that the net tax rate for Americans--they always conveniently leave this out of the textbooks--was between 1.9 and 2.1%, depending on colony.? And that was if they had paid the extra taxes on tea and paper.
And, wait for it, people who support California independence use the same logic and arguments as they did in 1775. Did you know that the Los Angeles and Washington are only a few hundred miles closer than Boston and London? That many of the same issues, point by point, are repeating here in California? So put yourself in those shoes. How many of you would have sided with the Empire (whether American or British) based on the fact that you don't know how this will shake out? Would you call someone who supports Calexit a Patriot? Revolutionary? Nutcase? Who gets to own that word, anyway?
You can choose that you would have supported the revolutionaries--but think. Think about the other side. They matter, and their experiences got to be cleansed out of history to make you feel better about the way the revolutionaries behaved during the War. Acknowledge that they are there, and that their point of view has merit, even if you not agree with it.

· Chapter 10: The Early Elementary Grades: 1-3
The primary grades are grades 1-3.
Although educational reform has had an effect on all children, it is most apparent in the early elementary years. Reform and change comes from a number of sources and the chapter begins by reminding you of this. Let’s examine a few of these sources...
Diversity. There has been a rise in the number of racial and ethnic minority students enrolled in the nation's public schools; this number will (most likely) continue to rise. Teaching children from different cultures and backgrounds is an important piece to account for when planning curriculum.
Standards. Standards is a reason for reform. We've already looked at standards; these are something you must keep in mind when planning lessons.
Data-Driven Instruction may sound new, but it is not a new concept to you. We’ve done a great deal of discussing the outcomes of test-taking and assessments. You've probably all heard "teaching to the test."
Technology. Today’s students have had much experience with technology, therefore, it’s important to provide them with opportunities to learn with technology. It may take a while for you to be creative and think of ways to use it in your teaching (if you haven’ t been).
Health and Wellness. Obesity is a major concern in this country. Therefore, it is important to make sure that children have the opportunity to be active. Unfortunately, due to the pressure of academics, many schools have been taking physical education/activity time out of the curriculum.
Violence: One issue that I notice this new edition of the text has excluded is violence. However, I think that this topic is important; we need to keep children safe when they are at school. As a result of 9/11 (and, not to mention that many violent events have happened on school campuses in recent years), many school districts now have an emergency system in place that they can easily use if there is any type of incident in which the children’s safety is at risk.
WHAT ARE CHILDREN IN GRADES ONE TO THREE LIKE?
Your text explains that the best way to think of a child’s development during this time is: slow and steady. During this stage, there is not much difference between boys and girls when it comes to physical capabilities. Although it is always important to not stereotype based on one’s gender, it is especially important during these years. These children are also entering into their "tween" years, thus; being sensitive to the children's and parents' needs in regards to such changes is important.
It is important to remember that children in the primary grades are in the Concrete Operations Stage. This stage is children ages 7 to 12. The term operation refers to an action that can be carried out in thought as well as executed materially and that is mentally and physically reversible.
These children are at an age in which they can compare their abilities to their peers. And, therefore, children may develop learned helplessnes.

Typically, communication breakdowns result from lack of understanding without clarification; often, there wasn't even an attempt at clarification. If barriers to interpersonal communication are not acknowledged and addressed, workplace productivity can suffer.
Language Differences
Interpersonal communication can go awry when the sender and receiver of the message speak a different language -- literally and figuratively. Not everyone in the workplace will understand slang, jargon, acronyms and industry terminology. Instead of seeking clarification, employees might guess at the meaning of the message and then act on mistaken assumptions. Also, misunderstandings may occur among workers who do not speak the same primary language. As a result, feelings may be hurt, based on misinterpretation of words or of body language.
Cultural Differences
Interpersonal communication may be adversely affected by lack of cultural understanding, mis-perception, bias and stereotypical beliefs. Workers may have limited skill or experience communicating with people from a different background. Many companies offer diversity training to help employees understand how to communicate more effectively across cultures and relate to those who may have different background experiences. Similarly, gender barriers can obstruct interpersonal communication if men and women are treated differently, and held to different standards, causing interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.
Personality Differences
Like any skill, some people are better at interpersonal communication than others. Personality traits also influence how well an individual interacts with subordinates, peers and supervisors. Extraversion can be an advantage when it comes to speaking out, sharing opinions and disseminating information. However, introverts may have the edge when it comes to listening, reflecting and remembering. Barriers to interpersonal communication may occur when employees lack self-awareness, sensitivity and flexibility. Such behavior undermines teamwork, which requires mutual respect, compromise and negotiation. Bullying, backstabbing and cut throat competition create a toxic workplace climate that will strain interpersonal relationships.
Generational Differences
Interpersonal communication can be complicated by generational differences in speech, dress, values, priorities and preferences. For instance, there may be a generational divide as to how team members prefer to communicate with one another. If younger workers sit in cubicles, using social networking as their primary channel of communication, it can alienate them from older workers who may prefer face-to-face communication. Broad generalizations and stereotypes can also cause interpersonal rifts when a worker from one generation feels superior to those who are younger or older. Biases against workers based on age can constitute a form of disc.

My Personality Theory Paper
Instructions:
For this assignment, you will write a paper no less than 7 pages in length, not including required cover and Reference pages, describing a single personality theory from the course readings that best explains your own personality and life choices. You are free to select from among the several theories covered in the course to date but only one theory may be used.
Your task is to demonstrate your knowledge of the theory you choose via descriptions of its key concepts and use of them to explain how you developed your own personality. It is recommended that you revisit the material covered to date to refresh your knowledge of theory details. This is a "midterm" assignment and you should show in your work that you have studied and comprehended the first four weeks of course material. Your submission should be double-spaced with 1 inch margins on all sides of each page and should be free of spelling and grammar errors. It must include source crediting of any materials used in APA format, including source citations in the body of your paper and in a Reference list attached to the end. Easy to follow guides to APA formatting can be found on the tutorial section of the APUS Online Library.
Your paper will include three parts:
I. A brief description of the premise and key components of the theory you selected. You should be thorough and concise in this section and not spend the bulk of the paper detailing the theory, but rather just give enough of a summary of the key points so that an intelligent but uniformed reader would be able to understand its basics. If you pick a more complicated theory, you should expect explaining its premise and key components to take longer than explaining the same for one of the simpler theories but, in either case, focus on the basics and keep in mind that a paper that is almost all theory description and little use of the theory described to explain your own personality will receive a significant point deduction as will the reverse case of the paper being largely personal experience sharing with little linkage to clearly described key theory components.
II. A description of how your chosen theory explains your personality and life choices with supporting examples.
III. A description of the limitations of the theory in explaining your personality or anyone else’s.
NOTE: Although only your instructor will be reading your paper, you should still think about how much personal information you want to disclose. The purpose of this paper is not to get you to share private information, but rather to bring one .

Leaders today must be able to create a compelling vision for the organization. They also must be able to create an aligned strategy and then execute it. Visions have two parts, the envisioned future and the core values that support that vision of the future. The ability to create a compelling vision is the primary distinction between leadership and management. Leaders need to create a vision that will frame the decisions and behavior of the organization and keep it focused on the future while also delivering on the short-term goals.
To learn more about organizational vision statements, do an Internet search and review various vision statements.
In this assignment, you will consider yourself as a leader of an organization and write a vision statement and supporting values statement.
Select an organization of choice. This could be an organization that you are familiar with, or a fictitious organization. Then, respond to the following:
· Provide the name and description of the organization. In the description, be sure to include the purpose of the organization, the products or services it provides, and the description of its customer base.
· Describe the core values of the organization. Why are these specific values important to the organization?
· Describe the benefits and purpose for an organizational vision statement.
· Develop a vision statement for this organization. When developing a vision statement, be mindful of the module readings and lecture materials.

· Assignment 2: Leader Profile
Many argue that the single largest variable in organizational success is leadership. Effective leadership can transform an organization and create a positive environment for all stakeholders. In this assignment, you will have the chance to evaluate a leader and identify what makes him/her effective.
Consider all the leaders who have affected your life in some way. Think of people with whom you work—community leaders, a family member, or anyone who has had a direct impact on you.
· Choose one leader you consider to be effective. This can be a leader you are personally aware of, or someone you don’t know, but have observed to be an effective leader. Write a paper addressing the following:
· Explain how this leader has influenced you and why you think he or she is effective.
· Analyze what characteristics or qualities this person possesses that affected you most.
· Rate this leader by using a leadership scorecard. This can be a developed scorecard, or one you develop yourself. If you use a developed scorecard, please be sure to cite the sources of the scorecard. Once you have identified your scorecard, rate your leader. You decide what scores to include (for example, scale of 1–5, 5 being the highest) but be sure to assess the leader holistically across the critical leadership competencies you feel are most important (for example, visioning, empowering, strategy development and communication).
· Critique this individual’s skills against what you have learned about leadership so far in this course. Consider the following:
· How well does he/she meet the practices covered in your required readings?
· How well has he/she adapted to the challenges facing leaders today?
· If you could recommend changes to his/her leadership approach, philosophy, and style, what would you suggest? Why?
· Using the assigned readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet including general organizational sources like the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, or Harvard Business Review, build a leadership profile of the leader you selected. Include information from personal experiences as well as general postings on the selected leader from Internet sources such as blogs. Be sure to include 2–3 additional resources not already included in the required readings in support of your leadership profile.
Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
