The letter expresses concern about the growing problem of retaliation against corporate whistleblowers and urges the SEC to take actions to clarify and strengthen protections for whistleblowers. It notes that a study found that 22% of employees who reported misconduct faced retaliation. The letter asks the SEC to clarify protections for internal whistleblowers, clarify that actions to block whistleblowing are illegal, and create an advisory committee on whistleblower reporting and protection. Stronger protections would benefit both whistleblowers and corporations.
The document outlines the process of using HPLC to analyze and quantify the amount of capsaicin in three different types of peppers - habanero, jalapeno, and red bell pepper - which were expected to have varying levels of spiciness and capsaicin content. The samples were prepared by grinding the peppers into a fine powder and then extracting the capsaicin using methanol before running the samples through the HPLC system to separate and quantify the amount of capsaicin in each type of pepper. The results would help reflect the subjective experience of heat from each pepper by directly correlating capsaicin levels to

IT 659 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
In Milestone Three you will submit the Recommendations and Global Considerations portion of the final project. The purpose of this assignment is to suggest
relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident.
Prompt: Suggest relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident. Standards external to
the organization that may have helped prevent the incident should also be proposed. This assignment will also address international compliance standards and
how they would have been relevant to the incident. The impact of the incident on global communication and commerce will be analyzed, as well as the impact on
the global technology environment.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Recommendations
a) Propose relevant changes to the organization that may have prevented the incident. How would these changes have helped to prevent the
occurrence?
b) Propose reasonable ethical guidelines that could have helped prevent the incident and that might help the organization prevent future incidents.
Propose changes to the standards external to the organization that might have helped prevent the incident. This can include changes to
regulations and regulatory and ethical standards that might exist today but did not exist or were not properly delivered at the time of the
incident. Be sure to support your conclusions.
V. Global Considerations
a) What international compliance standards (either at the time of the incident or today) would have been relevant to the incident, and how? If your
company is not global, imagine that is.
b) Analyze the impact of the incident on global communication and commerce (again, if your organization is not global, imagine otherwise). In
other words, what impact did (or would) the incident have on views and use of information technology and communication in global contexts?
c) Global Technology Environment: Based on your research and analysis of this case, determine the global legal and regulatory impacts this case
had on the information technology overall. In other words, determine the relationship between this case and the global regulatory standards
that are now in place, will be put in place shortly, or should be put in place as a result of this or related incident(s).

Discussion 1 week 2 Crimes That Harm Business Versus Crimes Committed by Business
Which do you believe presents the greatest threat to civil society: a corporation that commits crimes (e.g., murder, environmental crimes, or bribery), or persons who commit crimes that harm businesses (e.g., embezzlement, fraud, or larceny)? Defend your response, using at least one example from current events.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your fellow students’ posts in a substantive manner. Some ways to do this include the following, though you may choose a different approach, providing your response is substantive:
Review the posts made by your peers. In response to your peers, first identify a non-traditional or creative way in which a corporation might be punished for committing a crime. Then discuss the consequences of implementing that punishment to the example used by your peer.
Respond to Meas Khlaing post
In general, any type of crime being committed will be considered a threat to civil society. In this case, crimes that harm business vs crimes committed by business I would go with the persons who commit crimes that harm businesses is the greatest threat to society today. Not only does this affects the people but the organization structure as well. This can affect the image/reputation of how the consumers do business with that particular organization. Society as a whole, we humans are judgmental creatures and depending on the crime it can affect a lot of things towards that business. However, this all depends on the crime that has been brought up and for society, stakeholder, law regulation to decided what the outcome of the case can be and depending on the case of the crime, paying a simple fine is one option to remedy the situation. For example, Well Fargo sandal with the fraud account being created. According to the NY Times (2018), “Wells Fargo was found by regulators to have systematically created fake customer accounts and misled customers and government officials.” This has caused a lot of problem any many people got away with the scandal and made lots of money from this scheme. Seaquist p. 86, describe fraud are likely to be committed at work and are in one of these six departments: accounting, operations, sales, executive/ upper management, customer service, or purchasing. In the end of this fraud scandal, Well Fargo was fined with a bill as a result of their illegal activities and faced many lawsuits altogether. This also led to the resignation of the CEO at Wells Fargo. Overall, the bank's stable reputation was tarnished by this widespread fraud.

This summary discusses the benefits and difficulties of using travel accounts from the late 18th century as primary sources. Travel accounts provide first-hand accounts from the author's perspective, but they must be analyzed carefully as they sometimes contain fictional elements, lies, or errors. Comparing multiple accounts and checking references allows historians to test the factual accuracy of the information. While individual accounts may not be completely reliable, examining them together can still provide useful insights into the time period.
The document summarizes the perspective of the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division on the importance of antitrust compliance programs. It describes how the Division's criminal enforcement program has uncovered "brazen" international cartels that involved senior executives colluding to fix prices globally. Effective compliance programs are critical for companies to prevent antitrust violations and position themselves to receive amnesty if a violation occurs. The document outlines characteristics of prosecuted cartels and elements that effective compliance programs should include to detect and prevent such anticompetitive conduct.

Introduction
The effects of environmental recklessness by manufacturing, industry, and consumers are now being seen.
Humankind has scarred the globe, polluted the air, contaminated the soil, and used up the resources.
What are the responsibilities of businesses regarding the environment, plants and animals, and all other resources?
Moral Issues in Business

“A home that was flooded with toxic sludge following the coal-ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant in Tennessee. Even if an environmental calamity like this does not directly affect our lives, should it still be a cause of concern?”

Business and Ecology
Definition of ecology: The science of the interrelationships among organisms (especially humans) and their environments.
Ecosystems: A total ecological community, both living and nonliving, webs of interdependency structure ecosystems – a change in one element can have ripple effects through the system.
Business inevitably intrudes into ecosystems as it produces the things we want – but not all or all kinds of intrusions are justifiable.
Moral Issues in Business
Chapter 7
‹#›
Business’s Traditional Attitudes Toward the Environment
Traditionally, business has regarded the natural world as a free and unlimited good – pollution and the depletion of natural resources is the result.
The “tragedy of the commons”: Damage to the environment can also be explained as the result of a situation in which each person’s or business’s pursuit of self-interest can make everyone worse off – the reverse of Adam Smith’s invisible hand.

Business’s Traditional Attitudes Toward the Environment
Spillover: Unintended costs to third parties from transactions; also called “externalities”
In viewing things strictly in terms of private industrial costs, business overlooks spillover
So business often derives a profit from a product without considering the overall social cost – the damage the product or the production process has caused to the environment and human populations

RE: Week 10 Discussion
· From the first e-Activity, identify one to two (1-2) potential ethical challenges that security professionals may face as technology advances, applications become more mobile, and computer criminals become more innovative. Speculate on one (1) solution that security professional could take in order to mitigate the challenge(s) in question. Justify your response.
A potential ethical challenge that security professionals may face as technology advances, applications become more mobil;e and computer criminals become more innovative is that most of the crime comes from the inside so they can cover up their tracks and know to avoid random audits. Also the ignorance of not knowing and leaving information carelessly in the wrong hands by leaving screens up without protection, losing a mobile device with links to sensitive documents, password protection and if working from home, not having enough security or backup. It is hard to speculate a solution that security professionals can take in order to migitate the challenges except to get in a routine. Like if you always lose your car keys one may get in the habit of putting them on a rack, so a routine can be innovated to boost security. As well as randomly performing audits and password changes.
· From the second e-Activity, among the three (3) definitions of cyber terrorism, give your opinion as to the one (1) definition that is the most accurate with regard to information security and infrastructure protection. Next, describe the impact that digital crimes and digital terrorism are likely to have in the future. Provide a rationale for your response.
One definition that i find is accurate is that there is no satisfactory definition because it changes and evolves. When you think of cyber crime it may start with the computer but ends in the homes and business of people. They may start with an income that is funding terrorist acts and then go to recruiting them and having the people to relocate. So it began by the computer but definitely expanded many different ways. The future will had more options and ...
Introduction to management groups g - i - managerial ethics and corporate s...Diego Thomas
This document provides an overview and summary of the key topics covered in a lecture on managerial ethics and corporate social responsibility. The lecture discusses:
1. Definitions of ethics and how it relates to behaviors governed by law and free choice.
2. Approaches to evaluating ethical behavior such as utilitarian, individualism, moral rights, and justice approaches.
3. Factors that influence ethical decision making for individuals and organizations.
4. The concept of corporate social responsibility and importance of balancing stakeholder interests.
The document discusses business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It defines ethics as principles that outline appropriate moral behavior for individuals and organizations. Business ethics became more important in the 1980s as public criticism of corporate behavior rose. To restore trust, businesses need to punish wrongdoing, increase transparency, and hold people accountable beyond just legal compliance. Various factors like values, management, and the environment influence business ethics. The document also provides examples of ethical dilemmas and discusses approaches to improving ethics through codes of conduct and other measures.

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.
