Mass Incarceration and the Prison Industrial Complex Amber Edwards Sco 102 Instructor: Craig Allen 5/3/2020 Mass Incarceration and the Prison Industrial Complex The United States experienced stability in the rates of imprisonment from the year 1920 to early 1970s. However, that has changed over the past four decades considering that the rates of imprisonment have multiplied. Currently, the United Sates has over 2.2 million incarcerated adults which is by far the largest population globally. The rapid increase of incarceration in the US for the past four decades has prompted various critiques including the question as to why there is a large population of incarcerated citizens. The aim of this paper is to argue on the ethical issues existing with the mass incarceration particularly the breaches that occur minus ethics. Also the paper will discuss the constitutes of ethical behaviour within the U.S system by using Utilitarianism, Ethical Egoism, Deontology which will shed light on the concerns of mass incarceration as well as the prison industrial complex. Incarceration is among the most applicable strategies to handle social issues which act as an interference to the poor. Generally, the problems are joined together and defined as crime. The most targeted population in this case are people of color (Wagner & Sawyer, 2018). Some of the impacts of the increased rates of incarceration are homelessness, drug addiction, mental illnesses, unemployment and many more. Generally, prisons do not make the social issues or crimes go away rather, they make people disappear. The practice of making people disappear away from immigrants the poor as well as racially marginalized societies has currently become a business. The increase in the rates of imprisonment is among the most systematic applied government social program in the contemporary world. However, issues such as criminalization, social profiling and mass imprisoning of people of color is the main challenge in the criminal justice system. Another ethical concern is making mass incarceration a source of income or rather a business. Prison privatization is also another ethical concern which is the capital’s contemporary movement in the prison industry. Generally, government run prisons are typically in gross violation particularly in international human rights standards making the private prisons less liable. Incarceration is nothing less than slavery considering that a large number if these inmates offer labor services to a country without a living wage, bargaining power of even labor protections. Generally, labor is the only thing the imprisoners can withhold. The breaches of ethics in slavery, racial profiling and using incarceration for profiting purposes in the prison industry are too much. Among the ethical breach that is reflective is the health in the system. Both mental and physical health of the inmates is a primary concern considering that a large number of the inmates suffer.

CRITICAL ISSUES TO CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE U.S. 2
There are many contemporary issues that are found within the American penal system.
Perhaps we are not fully aware of these issues and just how much they affect the American penal
system. Though we are aware that there are issues, we may not be completely aware of just how
much they affect the everyday functioning of the correctional systems. We are not fully aware of
the funding problems, or the overcrowding problems, or just how much violence takes place in
prisons. These three issues seem to be the worst of all the issues that these facilities face.
Funding
Correctional facilities, just like any other business, do not operate for free. Total state
expenditures on prisons and related activities were about $9.6 billion in the mid-1980’s, where
about 40 percent of all state prison construction was financed by a pay-as-you-go method, and 50
percent was paid by general obligation bonds, and the remaining 10 percent was financed using
lease revenue bonds and other revenue streams. By 1996, total state expenditures for prisons
were estimated to be $22 billion, and more than half of all the debt issued to finance prisons was
carried out through a specific variant of lease-revenue bonds which were called certificates of
participation (Public Bonds, 2004). According to the staff at Vera’s Center on Sentencing and
Corrections and Cost-Benefit Analysis Unit, after surveying 40 states in an effort to calculate the
taxpayer’s cost of prisons, the cost of prisons was $39 billion in 2010, which was $5.4 billion
more than what their corrections budgets reflected (VERA Institute of Justice, 2013). Over the
past 40 years, the U.S. has seen a dramatic increase in prison population, and as a result, the
country’s state prison population has grown by more than 700 percent since the 1970’s. This has
come at great cost to taxpayers (VERA Institute of Justice, 2013). At the end of 2012, the United
States prison population was 1,571,013, which is actually a decline for the third straight

consecutive year. More plans are under way in an effort to lower the number of people who are
incarcerated in the U.S., which will help lower the cost of running these facilities as well.
America exceeds every other country in prison inmate population. Attorney General Eric Holder

Individuals With Serious Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System The Case of Richard P. Arthur J. Lurigio Loyola University Chicago, Illinois John Fallon Thresholds This paper presents a case study that illuminates the clinical and practical challenges that accompany the treatment of people with serious mental illness (SMI) and criminal involvement. We discuss the historical conditions that led to the influx of a large number of people with SMI into the criminal justice system. We discuss the case history of Richard P., which illustrates the use of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) to care for criminally involved people with SMI. We focus on the ACT model that was employed by Thresholds to treat Richard P. It was known as the Thresholds Jail Program. We track his progress in the program and explicate the case management considerations that are most salient in treating offenders with SMI. Keywords: criminalization, mental illness, crime, deinstitutionalization, mental health services, probation, ACT 1 Theoretical and Research Basis Fundamental changes in mental health policies and laws have brought criminal justice professionals into contact with the seriously mentally ill at every stage of the justice process: police arrest people with serious mental illness (SMI) because few other options are readily available to handle their disruptive public behaviors; jail and prison administrators strain to attend to the care and safety of the mentally ill; judges grapple with limited sentencing alternatives for individuals with SMI who fall outside of specific forensic categories (e.g., guilty but mentally ill); and probation and parole officers scramble to obtain scarce community services and treatments for people with SMI and attempt to fit them into standard correctional programs or monito.

Problem Evaluation: Overcrowded Prisons
The correctional system plays an important role in the criminal justice system. Imprisonment serves as a method of locking away dangerous people for the purpose of protecting the public and rehabilitating people who have been caught committing various crimes so that they can be ready to be assimilated back into the communities with a lower risk of recidivism. Prisons also serve as a way of punishment, to discourage wrongdoing among the public. Due to these important roles, the criminal justice system has to imprison people. However, the system has experienced a huge problem of overcrowding because of the high rate of incarceration and the low availability of resources.
Problem Identification
Overcrowding of prisons is a huge problem that affects the United States criminal justice system. The United States prison population is growing at a higher rate than the government has been able to control. The number of incarcerated people was grown significantly between 1970 and 1990 during the government’s ‘war on drugs’ when the drug laws were enhanced to include more serious punishments for people involved in drug crimes. Additionally, the high prison population in the United States has been shown to be a result of the poor rehabilitation abilities of the prison system (Williams & Porter, 2016). Studies have shown that a majority of prisoners in the country are recidivists and drug offenders. The issue of prison overcrowding is a problem mainly because of the understaffing and the underfunding, which makes the prison conditions relatively poor. Therefore, it is important that this problem is examined and solutions developed to solve it.
Quantifying the Problem
Imprisonment is the most common form of punishment for criminal activity in the United States. It is estimated that America has the second highest imprisonment rate per capita in the world, only after Seychelles. As at 2014, it was recorded that there are 735 incarcerated people per 100,000 of the population. This value was increased by approximat ...

In this course, we look at classical ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. We also look at the different kinds of perspectives on ethical issues introduced by relativism, ethical egoism, and emotivism.
For this paper, you will pick an ethical issue to discuss, but one that is not a specific topic addressed in our text (thus, gun control or product liability would not be possible choices). Some examples are given below, but it is recommended that you choose to write on a topic you have already encountered or you have thought about previously. (One way of thinking about this is to think of an ethical issue that either worries you or enrages you.)
Identify, specifically, the ethical issue and the ethical problems it presents. Drawing on various sources, explain how one of the classical theories (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics) would resolve the problem. Then, contrast this response with the perspective brought to the issue by relativism, emotivism, or ethical egoism. Finally, state which of these views is closer to your own, supporting your response with a clearly-presented and well-supported argument. The more specific you can be the better, and feel free to include examples that will strengthen your account.

Medical Care for Prisoners
Medical Care for Prisoners
Julio C. Armas
SOC 120
Mrs. Megan Reid
September 21, 2012
Is society ethically obliged to provide free healthcare to prisoners incarcerated for crimes against that same society? There are more people incarcerated in the United States than history has ever recorded; in fact, the U.S. has the world’s highest prison population with over 2 million incarcerated, and there is no indication of the population growth slowing down. This growing prison population has alarming consequences on many facets of prisoner care, and in particular, medical care provided to prisoners. The financial impact of providing adequate medical care for this enormous prison population has severe and deep reaching repercussions on not just the prisons, but the law-abiding citizens, states, and indeed, the entire nation. Many arguments have been made on what level of care constitutes adequate care, and even if health care should or should not be provided to prisoners. The ethical and moral responsibilities we, as a society, are obligated to provide is a hotly debated topic. There are many possible solutions to the health care dilemma, but whether or not those solutions meet the ethical requirements that society has incurred as a result of incarcerating people considered a threat to society is questionable. Also in question is the.

Part 1
IDOC (2022) lists 15 prison facilities in Indiana for adult males. These facilities differ in several aspects, such as size and security levels. Consequently, they are classified into a minimum, medium, and maximum facilities. Minimum prisons are the least restrictive and only house, nonviolent offenders. In total, Indiana has 3 minimum prisons for male adults. Conversely, medium prison has lesser security compared to minimum prisons, and movements are a bit restricted than in minimum prions, with the New Castle Correctional Facility and Westville Correctional Facility being the largest ones. As shown at
dissertation writing service
, maximum prisons are the most secured prison facilities as people convicted in these facilities committed violent crimes. The inmates’ movements are greatly restricted and are under strict surveillance. The state has 3 maximum prisons, with Indian State prison and Pendleton Correctional Facility being the largest.
Part 2
Solitary confinements are some of the improvements that may be done to adult correctional facilities for various reasons. To begin with, they may be meant for people who are unruly. While it may be thought that only minors do not follow the rules, adults too fall culprits of lawlessness and talk back to some obvious orders and therefore necessitate confinement from the rest. Additionally, concerns linked to the safety of staff or other inmates may compel the use of solitary confinements (Ahalt et al., 2017). Particularly, known or suspected gangs may pose a threat and calls for keen management under the solitary confinements. Moreover, the need for own protection may require solitary confinements, especially for sex offenders, transgender, or sexually vulnerable. Lastly, solitary confinement may be used for clinical reasons, especially among the mentally ill who have difficulty conforming to the rules (Kaba et al., 2014).
While solitary confinement is believed to be helpful, it has several associated issues that deem it unfit for the inmates and even staff. According to Ahalt et al. (2017), solitary confinement leads to severe psychological effects and becomes riskier for people who experience it. Ahalt et al. (2017) relate such effects to a deprivation of social contacts among these people, leading to the stress of being isolated. Also, solitary confinement may lead to physical health problems for the victim (Ahalt et al., 2017; Cloud et al., 2015). Such effects lead to effects that are long term and some are short-loved. One of the long term effects of solitary confinement is that it tenders victims incapable of living anywhere else. When such prisoners are released to the outside world or back to prisons to reunite with the rest, they are quite overwhelmed with anxiety and sometimes reach a level in which they are frightened by the people around them. Some of the short-term effects of solitary confinement include withdrawal, emotional breakdowns, hypersensitivity, anxiety, loss ...

Mini Case
IT Planning at ModMeters4
Brian Smith, CIO of ModMeters, groaned inwardly as he listened to CEO John Johnson
wrapping up his remarks. “So our executive team thinks there are real business oppor-
tunities for us in developing these two new strategic thrusts. But before I go to the
board for final approval next month, I need to know that our IT, marketing, and sales
plans will support us all the way,” Johnson concluded.
Brian mentally calculated the impact these new initiatives would have on his orga-
nization. He had heard rumors from his boss, the COO, that something big was coming
down. He had even been asked his opinion about whether these strategies were techni-
cally doable, theoretically. But both at once? Resources—people, time, and money—were
tight, as usual. ModMeters was making a reasonable profit, but the CFO, Stan Abrams,
had always kept the lid screwed down tightly on IT spending. Brian had to fight for
every dime. How he was going to find the wherewithal to support not one but two new
strategic initiatives, he didn’t know.
The other VPs at this strategy presentation were smiling. Taking ModMeters
global from a North American operation seemed to be a logical next step for the com-
pany. Its products, metering components of all types, were highly specialized and in
great demand from such diverse customers as utility companies, manufacturers, and
a host of other industries. Originally founded as Modern Meters, the firm had grown
steadily as demand for its metering expertise and components had grown over the past
century or so. Today ModMeters was the largest producer of metering components in
the world with a full range of both mechanical and, now, digital products. Expanding
into meter assembly with plants in Asia and Eastern Europe was a good plan, thought
Brian, but he wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to get the infrastructure in place
to support it. “Many of these countries simply don’t have the telecommunications and
equipment we are going to need, and the training and new systems we have to put in

Case Study
: Frederick is a student at Central Fictional State University (CFSU), and he has a great idea for a new business invention. Frederick's invention and the business that he plans to found based on it will absolutely revolutionize the market and will make him very rich. He decides to share his idea with a few trusted professors, and he even uses the idea in a research project for one of his classes.
While Frederick is at home over summer break, he discovers, much to his dismay, that his professors have stolen his idea and have opened a business marketing his new invention. Frederick immediately seeks the advice of the local lawyer who has a reputation for being a "scorched-earth" litigator. He advises Frederick that he should sue “those professors for everything they've got." Frederick, however, is not sure if he should file an aggressive lawsuit, or if there is a better way to proceed.
Frederick knows that your business recently completed mediation to settle a lawsuit filed by one of your suppliers. He comes to you for advice on how to proceed. What is your answer to Frederick? In your response, consider whether the decision to file suit or to proceed through some form of alternative dispute resolution is affected by the previous relationship with the professors (can/should you sue a friend, how will the decision impact an ongoing relationship, etc.). Also, what role could Frederick’s faith play in his decision?

Building Shared Services at RR
Communications4
Vince Patton had been waiting years for this day. He pulled the papers together in front of
him and scanned the small conference room. “You’re fired,” he said to the four divisional
CIOs sitting at the table. They looked nervously at him, grinning weakly. Vince wasn’t
known to make practical jokes, but this had been a pretty good meeting, at least relative to
some they’d had over the past five years. “You’re kidding,” said Matt Dawes, one of the
more outspoken members of the divisional CIO team. “Nope,” said Vince. “I’ve got the
boss’s OK on this. We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT orga-
nization, and there’s no room for any of you. The HR people are waiting outside.” With
that, he picked up his papers and headed to the door, leaving the four of them in shock.
“That felt good,” he admitted as he strode back to his office. A big man, not
known to tolerate fools gladly (or corporate politics), he was not a cruel one. But those
guys had been thorns in his side ever since he had taken the new executive VP of IT job
at the faltering RR Communications five years ago. The company’s stock had been in
the dumpster, and with the dramatically increased competition in the telecommunica-
tions industry as a result of deregulation, his friends and family had all thought he was
nuts. But Ross Roman, RR’s eccentric but brilliant founder, had made him an offer he
couldn’t refuse. “We need you to transform IT so that we can introduce new products
more quickly,” he’d said. “You’ll have my full backing for whatever you want to do.”
Typically for an entrepreneur, Roman had sketched the vision swiftly, leaving some-
one else to actually implement it. “We’ve got to have a more flexible and responsive IT
organization. Every time I want to do something, they tell me ‘the systems won’t allow
it.’ I’m tired of having customers complaining about getting multiple bills for each of our
products. It’s not acceptable that RR can’t create one simple little bill for each customer.”
Roman punctuated his remarks by stabbing with his finger at a file full of letters to the
president, which he insisted on reading personally each week. “You’ve got a reputation
as a ‘can do’ kind of guy; I checked. Don’t bother me with details; just get the job done.”
Vince knew he was a good, proactive IT leader, but he hadn’t been prepared
for the mess he inherited—or the politics. There was no central IT, just separate divi-
sional units for the four key lines of business—Internet, mobile, landline, and cable TV
service—each doing its own thing. Every business unit had bought its own hardware
and software, so introducing the common systems that would be needed to accomplish
Roman’s vision would be hugely difficult—that is, assuming they wanted them, which
they didn’t. There were multiple sales systems, databases, and customer service centers,
all of which led to customer and bus.

Claude McKay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background: For every literary period, there is always a group of writers that define it. When it comes to the Harlem Renaissance, a period that characterized eruption of activities among the African Americans in almost every art field, Claude McKay was the unquestioned leader. Born in 1889, in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, McKay went to become a novelist and a poet known in Britain, USA, and his home land. At the age of seventeen, McKay started writing poems with the influence of his brother, Theophilus. Theophilus was a school teacher in Jamaica, therefore was interested in literature. At a young age, Theophilus helped McKay to develop an interest in the British literature. Claude McKay started receiving mentorship from Walter Jekyll, an Englishman from Jamaica. Jekyll encouraged McKay to write dialect verses. Later on in 1912, McKay immigrated to USA, establishing himself as a renowned poet. He went on to publish Songs of Jamaica, Constab Ballads and two volumes of dialect verse.
B. Transition to Thesis: After his immigration to the United States of America, McKay started to experience things that he did not expect. McKay had not experienced racism until he joined the Tuskegee Institute to study agronomy. America’s racism sparked the fire in McKay to write even more, talking real issues and letting his readers understand what was happening and getting to their guts. He then moved to New York and invested in a restaurant. He married Eulalie Imelda Lewars. McKay published two poems there before he gained recognition as a lyric poet from Frank Harris, an editor at Pearson’s magazine. The Liberator’s editor Max Eastman also recognized him. Throughout his life, McKay was keen to make sure that he addressed the issues that were in the society.
C. Thesis Statement: Claude McKay was an influential poet that was best in addressing real life issues from the Harlem Renaissance period.
II. Significance to New York City
McKay was Voice to the people of Harlem
McKay had a famous voice to the rights of the African Americans in America. During his time, the situation for the blacks was tough and dangerous. The African Americans at that time who dared to oppose discrimination ended up suffering at the hands of the police. The African Americans had no choice but to live in fear of speaking the truth as it was and facing the real life. They, as a result, decide to play down their feeling and thoughts. McKay gave the people of Harlem a helping hand to break from their cocoon. He gave the people a voice, inspired them to go for their rights.
McKay helped in the Cultural Identity of the black people
McKay raised the consciousness of the need to reflect on the issues that affect the African Americans in USA. He attracted the attention of researchers and people in academia to explore the unique problems that the African Americans faced.

BUS 206 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Business law impacts our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. Businesses enter contracts, manufacture goods, sell services and products,
and engage in employment and labor practices—activities that must all adhere to certain laws and regulations. Recognizing and evaluating legal issues is a
fundamental skill that will help you navigate commercial relationships and avoid potential problems in the business world.
Prompt: Imagine yourself as a paralegal working in a law office that has been tasked with reviewing three current cases. You will review the case studies and
compose a short report for each, applying your legal knowledge and understanding of the types of business organizations. In each of the three reports, you will
focus on areas of law covered in this course. Case Study One focuses on the legal system, criminal law, and ethics.
Case Study One: Chris, Matt, and Ian, who live in California, have decided to start a business selling an aftershave lotion called Funny Face over the internet. They
contract with Novelty Now Inc., a company based in Florida, to manufacture and distribute the product. Chris frequently meets with a representative from
Novelty Now to design the product and to plan marketing and distribution strategies. In fact, to increase the profit margin, Chris directs Novelty Now to substitute
PYR (a low-cost chemical emulsifier) for the compound in Novelty Now’s original formula. PYR is not FDA approved. Funny Face is marketed nationally on the
radio and in newspapers, as well as on the web and Facebook. Donald Margolin, a successful CEO and public speaker, buys one bottle of Funny Face over the
internet. After he uses it once, his face turns a permanent shade of blue. Donald Margolin and his company, Donald Margolin Empire Inc., file suit in the
state of New York against Novelty Now Inc. and Chris, Matt, and Ian, alleging negligence and seeking medical costs and compensation for the damage to his face
and business reputation. It is discovered that PYR caused Margolin’s skin discoloration..

Discussion Questions
: For your forum post, distinguish the way the media was utilized by terrorist organizations in the past to advance their objectives to that being employed today. Specifically address both the pre-9/11 style terrorist means of communication and influence and contrast them with the current day terrorist internet/social media based methods.
Reply to each post there are TWO of them
*150 words min each*
1. For centuries, decades, and years now terrorist organizations has used the media to spread their message across the world, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. According, to Felger and Lesinger, “The media do not create terrorism, but certain actions of the media can facilitate the achievement of the strategic goals of terrorist groups” (Felger & Lesinger, 2017). Terrorists’ organizations utilize media outlets such as local and international newspapers and television. The ultimate goal of terrorists groups is to create fear and terror in order to get their message across whether it’s for religion or political reasons. We all know that the media is a powerful tool that sometimes could be misleading. Before the creation of the Internet terrorist would use newspapers, radio stations, and even word of mouth to spread their news. As one can imagine those methods took a while to spread throughout the local community or world. In addition, the facts and small details became lost in the translation of the events that actually took place. In the past terrorists used, rebel radio stations, television, underground newspapers, flyers, posters, and other types of publications to communicate, recruit, train, as a means to spread propaganda (Hoffman, 2006, p. 199).
Terrorist organizations has always used the media to spread propaganda or their agendas, however the 9/11 attacks has forever changed how terrorist organizations utilized the media to spread their fears on a global scale. In today’s society technology has made it a lot easier for terrorist organizations to spread their word and intentions. Just about every person in the world is carrying a smartphone. Smartphones allows individuals to access media outlets at all times. Information can be passed on through smartphones in a matter of seconds. In today’s society terrorist organizations also uses social media to help spread their intentions. They also use social media platforms to recruit and post training videos. In conclusion, after reading this week’s lesson we can determine that before social media, the internet and advance technology it was a lot harder for terrorist groups to spread their intentions, however they still made it happen.
2. In our discussion this week we must analyze the way terrorist organizations “utilized” the media in the past. I specifically highlight the word “utilize” because that’s exactly what terrorist organizations did. They used the media for their own benefit. In

Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two c.docx
Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke.
Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following:
• Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables.
• What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative?
• What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children?
• What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family.
• Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family.

The Relationship of Lower-Limb
Muscle Force to Walking Ability in
Patients With Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of muscle force associated with ability to walk in the
community without assistance, in the community with assistance, or at
home only in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Subjects and Methods. Percentage of predicted maximal muscle force
(%PMF) of lower-extremity muscles was determined, and walking
ability was categorized in 118 patients with ALS during periodic visits to
the Neuromuscular Research Unit. Data were derived from consecu-
tive visits in which subjects demonstrated declines in walking ability.
Means for %PMF of each muscle group and a limb average were
calculated at each consecutive visit. Results. The mean lower-extremity
average %PMF was: (1) 54.01% (SD512.76%) for subjects who walked
independently in the community and 50.19% (SD514.38%) during
the next visit when these same subjects required assistance in the
community (difference53.82%, 95% confidence interval [CI]5
2.4525.19);(2) 37.52% (SD515.17%) during the last visit that subjects
walked with assistance in the community and 32.18% (SD513.83%)
during the next visit when they walked only at home (differ-
ence55.33%, 95% CI53.61–7.06); and (3) 19.12% (SD59.08%) dur-
ing the visit when subjects were last able to ambulate at home versus
13.70% (SD57.36%) when they became unable to walk (differ-
ence55.42%, 95% CI52.9727.96). Conclusion and Discussion. The
findings suggest there are required levels of lower-extremity muscle
force for various categories of walking ability. Variations in forces
within and between categories of walking ability, however, indicate the
complexity of this relationship. [Jette DU, Slavin MD, Andres PL,

IT Planning at ModMeters4
Brian Smith, CIO of ModMeters, groaned inwardly as he listened to CEO John Johnson
wrapping up his remarks. “So our executive team thinks there are real business oppor-
tunities for us in developing these two new strategic thrusts. But before I go to the
board for final approval next month, I need to know that our IT, marketing, and sales
plans will support us all the way,” Johnson concluded.
Brian mentally calculated the impact these new initiatives would have on his orga-
nization. He had heard rumors from his boss, the COO, that something big was coming
down. He had even been asked his opinion about whether these strategies were techni-
cally doable, theoretically. But both at once? Resources—people, time, and money—were
tight, as usual. ModMeters was making a reasonable profit, but the CFO, Stan Abrams,
had always kept the lid screwed down tightly on IT spending. Brian had to fight for
every dime. How he was going to find the wherewithal to support not one but two new
strategic initiatives, he didn’t know.
The other VPs at this strategy presentation were smiling. Taking ModMeters
global from a North American operation seemed to be a logical next step for the com-
pany. Its products, metering components of all types, were highly specialized and in
great demand from such diverse customers as utility companies, manufacturers, and
a host of other industries. Originally founded as Modern Meters, the firm had grown
steadily as demand for its metering expertise and components had grown over the past
century or so. Today ModMeters was the largest producer of metering components in
the world with a full range of both mechanical and, now, digital products. Expanding
into meter assembly with plants in Asia and Eastern Europe was a good plan, thought
Brian, but he wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to get the infrastructure in place
to support it. “Many of these countries simply don’t have the telecommunications and
equipment we are going to need, and the training and new systems we have to put in
place are going to be substantial,” he said.
But it was the second strategic thrust that was going to give him nightmares, he
predicted. How on earth did they expect him to put direct-to-customer sales in place
so they could sell “green” electric meters to individual users? His attention was jerked
back to the present by a flashy new logo on an easel that the CEO had just unveiled.
“In keeping with our updated strategy, may I present our new name—MM!”
Johnson announced portentously.
“Oh, this is just great,” thought Brian. “Now I have to go into every single applica-
tion and every single document this company produces and change our name!”
Because of its age and scientific orientation, ModMeters (as he still preferred to
call it) had been in the IT business a long time. Starting back in the early 1960s, the

Case Study
: Frederick is a student at Central Fictional State University (CFSU), and he has a great idea for a new business invention. Frederick's invention and the business that he plans to found based on it will absolutely revolutionize the market and will make him very rich. He decides to share his idea with a few trusted professors, and he even uses the idea in a research project for one of his classes.
While Frederick is at home over summer break, he discovers, much to his dismay, that his professors have stolen his idea and have opened a business marketing his new invention. Frederick immediately seeks the advice of the local lawyer who has a reputation for being a "scorched-earth" litigator. He advises Frederick that he should sue “those professors for everything they've got." Frederick, however, is not sure if he should file an aggressive lawsuit, or if there is a better way to proceed.
Frederick knows that your business recently completed mediation to settle a lawsuit filed by one of your suppliers. He comes to you for advice on how to proceed. What is your answer to Frederick? In your response, consider whether the decision to file suit or to proceed through some form of alternative dispute resolution is affected by the previous relationship with the professors (can/should you sue a friend, how will the decision impact an ongoing relationship, etc.). Also, what role could Frederick’s faith play in his decision?

Building Shared Services at RR
Communications4
Vince Patton had been waiting years for this day. He pulled the papers together in front of
him and scanned the small conference room. “You’re fired,” he said to the four divisional
CIOs sitting at the table. They looked nervously at him, grinning weakly. Vince wasn’t
known to make practical jokes, but this had been a pretty good meeting, at least relative to
some they’d had over the past five years. “You’re kidding,” said Matt Dawes, one of the
more outspoken members of the divisional CIO team. “Nope,” said Vince. “I’ve got the
boss’s OK on this. We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT orga-
nization, and there’s no room for any of you. The HR people are waiting outside.” With
that, he picked up his papers and headed to the door, leaving the four of them in shock.
“That felt good,” he admitted as he strode back to his office. A big man, not
known to tolerate fools gladly (or corporate politics), he was not a cruel one. But those
guys had been thorns in his side ever since he had taken the new executive VP of IT job
at the faltering RR Communications five years ago. The company’s stock had been in
the dumpster, and with the dramatically increased competition in the telecommunica-
tions industry as a result of deregulation, his friends and family had all thought he was
nuts. But Ross Roman, RR’s eccentric but brilliant founder, had made him an offer he
couldn’t refuse. “We need you to transform IT so that we can introduce new products
more quickly,” he’d said. “You’ll have my full backing for whatever you want to do.”
Typically for an entrepreneur, Roman had sketched the vision swiftly, leaving some-
one else to actually implement it. “We’ve got to have a more flexible and responsive IT
organization. Every time I want to do something, they tell me ‘the systems won’t allow
it.’ I’m tired of having customers complaining about getting multiple bills for each of our
products. It’s not acceptable that RR can’t create one simple little bill for each customer.”
Roman punctuated his remarks by stabbing with his finger at a file full of letters to the
president, which he insisted on reading personally each week. “You’ve got a reputation
as a ‘can do’ kind of guy; I checked. Don’t bother me with details; just get the job done.”
Vince knew he was a good, proactive IT leader, but he hadn’t been prepared
for the mess he inherited—or the politics. There was no central IT, just separate divi-
sional units for the four key lines of business—Internet, mobile, landline, and cable TV
service—each doing its own thing. Every business unit had bought its own hardware
and software, so introducing the common systems that would be needed to accomplish
Roman’s vision would be hugely difficult—that is, assuming they wanted them, which
they didn’t. There were multiple sales systems, databases, and customer service centers,
all of which led to customer and bus.

Claude McKay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background: For every literary period, there is always a group of writers that define it. When it comes to the Harlem Renaissance, a period that characterized eruption of activities among the African Americans in almost every art field, Claude McKay was the unquestioned leader. Born in 1889, in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, McKay went to become a novelist and a poet known in Britain, USA, and his home land. At the age of seventeen, McKay started writing poems with the influence of his brother, Theophilus. Theophilus was a school teacher in Jamaica, therefore was interested in literature. At a young age, Theophilus helped McKay to develop an interest in the British literature. Claude McKay started receiving mentorship from Walter Jekyll, an Englishman from Jamaica. Jekyll encouraged McKay to write dialect verses. Later on in 1912, McKay immigrated to USA, establishing himself as a renowned poet. He went on to publish Songs of Jamaica, Constab Ballads and two volumes of dialect verse.
B. Transition to Thesis: After his immigration to the United States of America, McKay started to experience things that he did not expect. McKay had not experienced racism until he joined the Tuskegee Institute to study agronomy. America’s racism sparked the fire in McKay to write even more, talking real issues and letting his readers understand what was happening and getting to their guts. He then moved to New York and invested in a restaurant. He married Eulalie Imelda Lewars. McKay published two poems there before he gained recognition as a lyric poet from Frank Harris, an editor at Pearson’s magazine. The Liberator’s editor Max Eastman also recognized him. Throughout his life, McKay was keen to make sure that he addressed the issues that were in the society.
C. Thesis Statement: Claude McKay was an influential poet that was best in addressing real life issues from the Harlem Renaissance period.
II. Significance to New York City
McKay was Voice to the people of Harlem
McKay had a famous voice to the rights of the African Americans in America. During his time, the situation for the blacks was tough and dangerous. The African Americans at that time who dared to oppose discrimination ended up suffering at the hands of the police. The African Americans had no choice but to live in fear of speaking the truth as it was and facing the real life. They, as a result, decide to play down their feeling and thoughts. McKay gave the people of Harlem a helping hand to break from their cocoon. He gave the people a voice, inspired them to go for their rights.
McKay helped in the Cultural Identity of the black people
McKay raised the consciousness of the need to reflect on the issues that affect the African Americans in USA. He attracted the attention of researchers and people in academia to explore the unique problems that the African Americans faced.

Overview: Business law impacts our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. Businesses enter contracts, manufacture goods, sell services and products,
and engage in employment and labor practices—activities that must all adhere to certain laws and regulations. Recognizing and evaluating legal issues is a
fundamental skill that will help you navigate commercial relationships and avoid potential problems in the business world.
Prompt: Imagine yourself as a paralegal working in a law office that has been tasked with reviewing three current cases. You will review the case studies and
compose a short report for each, applying your legal knowledge and understanding of the types of business organizations. In each of the three reports, you will
focus on areas of law covered in this course. Case Study One focuses on the legal system, criminal law, and ethics.
Case Study One: Chris, Matt, and Ian, who live in California, have decided to start a business selling an aftershave lotion called Funny Face over the internet. They
contract with Novelty Now Inc., a company based in Florida, to manufacture and distribute the product. Chris frequently meets with a representative from
Novelty Now to design the product and to plan marketing and distribution strategies. In fact, to increase the profit margin, Chris directs Novelty Now to substitute
PYR (a low-cost chemical emulsifier) for the compound in Novelty Now’s original formula. PYR is not FDA approved. Funny Face is marketed nationally on the
radio and in newspapers, as well as on the web and Facebook. Donald Margolin, a successful CEO and public speaker, buys one bottle of Funny Face over the
internet. After he uses it once, his face turns a permanent shade of blue. Donald Margolin and his company, Donald Margolin Empire Inc., file suit in the
state of New York against Novelty Now Inc. and Chris, Matt, and Ian, alleging negligence and seeking medical costs and compensation for the damage to his face
and business reputation. It is discovered that PYR caused Margolin’s skin discoloration..

Discussion Questions
: For your forum post, distinguish the way the media was utilized by terrorist organizations in the past to advance their objectives to that being employed today. Specifically address both the pre-9/11 style terrorist means of communication and influence and contrast them with the current day terrorist internet/social media based methods.
Reply to each post there are TWO of them
*150 words min each*
1. For centuries, decades, and years now terrorist organizations has used the media to spread their message across the world, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. According, to Felger and Lesinger, “The media do not create terrorism, but certain actions of the media can facilitate the achievement of the strategic goals of terrorist groups” (Felger & Lesinger, 2017). Terrorists’ organizations utilize media outlets such as local and international newspapers and television. The ultimate goal of terrorists groups is to create fear and terror in order to get their message across whether it’s for religion or political reasons. We all know that the media is a powerful tool that sometimes could be misleading. Before the creation of the Internet terrorist would use newspapers, radio stations, and even word of mouth to spread their news. As one can imagine those methods took a while to spread throughout the local community or world. In addition, the facts and small details became lost in the translation of the events that actually took place. In the past terrorists used, rebel radio stations, television, underground newspapers, flyers, posters, and other types of publications to communicate, recruit, train, as a means to spread propaganda (Hoffman, 2006, p. 199).
Terrorist organizations has always used the media to spread propaganda or their agendas, however the 9/11 attacks has forever changed how terrorist organizations utilized the media to spread their fears on a global scale. In today’s society technology has made it a lot easier for terrorist organizations to spread their word and intentions. Just about every person in the world is carrying a smartphone. Smartphones allows individuals to access media outlets at all times. Information can be passed on through smartphones in a matter of seconds. In today’s society terrorist organizations also uses social media to help spread their intentions. They also use social media platforms to recruit and post training videos. In conclusion, after reading this week’s lesson we can determine that before social media, the internet and advance technology it was a lot harder for terrorist groups to spread their intentions, however they still made it happen.
2. In our discussion this week we must analyze the way terrorist organizations “utilized” the media in the past. I specifically highlight the word “utilize” because that’s exactly what terrorist organizations did. They used the media for their own benefit. In

Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two c.docx
Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke.
Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following:
• Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables.
• What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative?
• What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children?
• What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family.
• Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family.

The Relationship of Lower-Limb
Muscle Force to Walking Ability in
Patients With Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of muscle force associated with ability to walk in the
community without assistance, in the community with assistance, or at
home only in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Subjects and Methods. Percentage of predicted maximal muscle force
(%PMF) of lower-extremity muscles was determined, and walking
ability was categorized in 118 patients with ALS during periodic visits to
the Neuromuscular Research Unit. Data were derived from consecu-
tive visits in which subjects demonstrated declines in walking ability.
Means for %PMF of each muscle group and a limb average were
calculated at each consecutive visit. Results. The mean lower-extremity
average %PMF was: (1) 54.01% (SD512.76%) for subjects who walked
independently in the community and 50.19% (SD514.38%) during
the next visit when these same subjects required assistance in the
community (difference53.82%, 95% confidence interval [CI]5
2.4525.19);(2) 37.52% (SD515.17%) during the last visit that subjects
walked with assistance in the community and 32.18% (SD513.83%)
during the next visit when they walked only at home (differ-
ence55.33%, 95% CI53.61–7.06); and (3) 19.12% (SD59.08%) dur-
ing the visit when subjects were last able to ambulate at home versus
13.70% (SD57.36%) when they became unable to walk (differ-
ence55.42%, 95% CI52.9727.96). Conclusion and Discussion. The
findings suggest there are required levels of lower-extremity muscle
force for various categories of walking ability. Variations in forces
within and between categories of walking ability, however, indicate the
complexity of this relationship. [Jette DU, Slavin MD, Andres PL,

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Mass Incarceration and the Prison Industri.docx
- 1. Mass Incarceration and the Prison Industrial Complex Amber Edwards Sco 102 Instructor: Craig Allen 5/3/2020 Mass Incarceration and the Prison Industrial Complex The United States experienced stability in the rates of imprisonment from the year 1920 to early 1970s. However, that has changed over the past four decades considering that the rates of imprisonment have multiplied. Currently, the United Sates has over 2.2 million incarcerated adults which is by far the largest population globally. The rapid increase of incarceration in the US for the past four decades has prompted
- 2. various critiques including the question as to why there is a large population of incarcerated citizens. The aim of this paper is to argue on the ethical issues existing with the mass incarceration particularly the breaches that occur minus ethics. Also the paper will discuss the constitutes of ethical behaviour within the U.S system by using Utilitarianism, Ethical Egoism, Deontology which will shed light on the concerns of mass incarceration as well as the prison industrial complex. Incarceration is among the most applicable strategies to handle social issues which act as an interference to the poor. Generally, the problems are joined together and defined as crime. The most targeted population in this case are people of color (Wagner & Sawyer, 2018). Some of the impacts of the increased rates of incarceration are homelessness, drug addiction, mental illnesses, unemployment and many more. Generally, prisons do not make the social issues or crimes go away rather, they make people disappear. The practice of making people disappear away from immigrants the poor as well as racially marginalized societies has currently become a business. The increase in the rates of imprisonment is among the most systematic applied government social program in the contemporary world. However, issues such as criminalization, social profiling and mass imprisoning of people of color is the main challenge in the criminal justice system. Another ethical concern is making mass incarceration a source of income or rather a business. Prison privatization is also another ethical concern which is the capital’s contemporary movement in the prison industry. Generally, government run prisons are typically in gross violation particularly in international human rights standards making the private prisons less liable. Incarceration is nothing less than slavery considering that a large number if these inmates offer labor services to a country without a living wage, bargaining power of even labor protections. Generally, labor is the only thing the imprisoners can withhold. The breaches of ethics in slavery, racial profiling and using
- 3. incarceration for profiting purposes in the prison industry are too much. Among the ethical breach that is reflective is the health in the system. Both mental and physical health of the inmates is a primary concern considering that a large number of the inmates suffer from chronic diseases, mental illness and even infectious diseases in comparison to the normal population. Besides, thousands of inmates released in the community every yearly have been reported to have an untreated communicable health condition or even an undiagnosed health concern. A large percentage of state prisons do not have a complete and reachable data concerning the health status of their inmates. The worst part is that, prisoners with mental illnesses tend to serve longer sentences with more disciplinary problems as they serve their sentence. Prisons should therefore have essential mental and medical care that is required by inmates because they end up suffering more painful symptoms as their health condition worsens. The act of America’s prison system applies with the ethical perspective of Ethical Egoism considering that they are overly imprisoning their citizens with unsuitable justification that supports their action. Besides, private capital has been involved in the punishment industry which is all because of the profit potential making incarceration which has significantly impacted the U.S economy. Based on research, WCC increased its revenue from $138million to $210 million in the year 1997 (Wildeman & Wang, 2017). In comparison to the public correctional facilities, the increased profits in the private centres majorly depend on non union labor. There have been numerous studies on whether the rates of crime have reduced over the past few decades due to mass incarceration and based on research, incarceration has resulted to an increase of crime in most states. Mass incarceration is unethical in one way or another considering that it causes more harm on the community than good. According to the utilitarianism theory, a deed is considered ethical when it produces more good for a large population of people
- 4. (Bonnemains, Saurel & Tessier, 2016). Thus, mass incarceration is against the utilitarianism theory. America should consider both Deontology and Utilitarianism ethics since they both provide insight of what is considered moral or not. Mass incarceration in that case is not an ethical standard since most people are racial profiled while other have been sentenced for crimes they did not even commit. Deontology theory on the other hand states that people are morally obliged to act in accordance of the set principles irrespective of the results. Prisoners face numerous health challenges including facing violence and injuries in prisons. Crime is just an excuse for the mass incarceration and breaking ot not practising ethical behaviours in prisons. For this trend to change, America must change its ethical standards and views first.
