Managing information in non-profits requires considering ethical issues like privacy, appropriate use, and control of sensitive donor data. Effective donor databases allow organizations to track donor histories, interests, and relationships to tailor engagement. However, care must be taken to avoid annoying donors by removing those who opt-out from contact and ensuring duplicate data is deleted. When developing templates to track major gift prospects, priority information includes names, giving amounts and dates, and notes on cultivation strategies to facilitate ongoing engagement and fundraising goals.

Introduction
The world as we know it now is much different than it was 100 or even 50 years ago. Without change, the
world, businesses, and life would become stagnant. Stagnancy is not where you want to be. The problem
herein is that one cannot expect to get different results, such as improved productivity, efficiency, or
profitability, if we continue doing the same things we have always done. Businesses especially want to better
their best. They want to get more with less. They want greater profits. As the wants continue to grow, the
world continues to evolve. If you do not change, surrounding businesses will continue to change and evolve,
and you and your organization could be left behind. In this unit, we will explore a few of the many challenges
faced by any business. While some of those challenges may pertain to economic pressures, demographics,
diversity, networked organizations, and ethical behaviors, there are even more. This unit will focus on the
economy, globalization, technological advancements, and social media. However, any of those challenges
mentioned leads to additional opportunities to be explored. Each situation presents an opportunity. It is what
you choose to do when faced with those challenges and opportunities that can make all of the difference.
A Gamut of Challenges
Let us look at the economy and its impact on an organization. To begin, you need to think of a business as a
dynamic entity that changes and reacts to its environment. In this sense, all organizations change and adapt
to what the economy is or is not doing, and, because of this, organizational behaviors change.
Some examples of these changes in behaviors are when the economy is bad and a company suspends pay
raises or bonuses. When an organization’s profits tank or are much lower than predicted, the company can

8.1 Understanding Ethics
Learning Objective # 1: What constitutes ethical management communication?
Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of thought that addresses questions about morality and deals with concepts such as right and wrong,
virtue and vice, and justice and crime (Rae, 2009, p. 15). Ethical challenges have been part of the world of business for as long as there has been a
business world.
Recent dramatic stories involving Enron, BP, Arthur Andersen, and other corporate giants, as well as several banking chains involved in the 2008
mortgage crisis, have reignited interest in building a more ethical business climate. Enron engaged in manipulation of energy prices and illegal accounting
practices. Arthur Andersen was complicit by failing to identify the illegal accounting practices as part of audits of company books. BP failed to follow
safety protocols and record keeping, which led to the 2010 Gulf oil spill disaster.
Communication systems inevitably play into a fraud or unethical action taken by a corporation, manager, or employee. Ethical decisions are made not only
by corporate leaders, but also by every member of an organization. As recent headlines have been packed with ethical issues, colleges and universities
teaching the business leaders of tomorrow have enhanced training and awareness of ethical decision-making. One perspective, ethical management, favors
training for individuals preparing to enter the world of business (Waite, 2011). We will focus on this approach in this chapter by examining the nature of
ethical and unethical communication and by offering analytical models and reasoning processes associated with moral dilemmas and ethical choices.
Values form the building blocks of an ethical system (Rae, 2009). Individual and collective values vary, of course, because they are in�luenced by
numerous forces, including religion, national origin, upbringing, and social associations. This means that the distinction between right and wrong can be
debatable or controversial. For example, charging interest is considered wrong in some cultures, while most of you reading this have come to expect to

Introduction
Business ethics is a field that calls for ethical conduct when managers, supervisors, and workers are meeting the daily duties. This in compliance with applicable laws and organization’s code of conduct at all times regardless of the circumstances of a specific situation (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2014). Ethical conduct is helpful to an organization as it helps it avoid backlashes that might surface as a result of an unethical conduct. In light of this, low and high-ranking employees should have a self-drive in upholding ethical conduct in all situations. The following section looks into the ethical make-up of giving or taking a bribe for business purposes while utilizing the Project Management Institute (PMI) steps for arriving for to an ethical decision.
Discussion
The first step entails making an assessment. This is the process where one gathers facts about the ethical dilemma mainly regarding implications on the law and policies. In this case, bribing in the country for business purposes is not perceived illegal but does not abide with the organization’s code of ethics and also does not align with ethical values fostered by the organization. Bribing is normally perceived unethical as individuals are likely to overlook best practices when meeting business goals (Kenny, 2013). They are not held accountable after bribing their way through hence likely to put consumers at risk of harm that may result. In this step, it is worth noting that an individual can as well examine their personal values before committing to the action that need to be undertaken.
The second step entails examining the available alternatives. In this case, it can be seen that the competitors are willing to bribe their way through which is amounts to a threat. There are a number of alternatives that can be undertaken to counter the threat as follows. First, the government official can be involved in a session that will make him learn about advantages that will result if the business operates in the country. For instance, through corporate social responsibility the locals will benefit from a number of offers. Also, employment will be created. The official will be shown the big picture other than pocketing a bribe. Two, another alternative entails making the official learn about the ethical values of the organization that should not be violated in any case. One needs to show him utmost commitment to the values and make him understand the weight of the compromise that needs to be done. More so, he can be shown the impact that might be suffered by the organization in the event that the action is known to the public.
The third step entails making an analysis. In the event that the action backfires, there will be a negative impact suffered by the organization such as facing litigation as well as tarnishing the org.

Your response is well presented and informational. I agree with you that net neutrality is the standardization policy that monitors and ensure internet services providers are deliver information to consumers at a similar speed, in spite of the content. I would like to add the law must strike an agreement connecting securing the private privileges of Internet specialist organizations to facilitate security for the best interest of the internet users.
Net neutrality progress information technology effectiveness as it facilitates the people or organization to recognized worldwide commerce and successfully offers services for their customers. I like the way you have provided that the provided restriction of the internet service providers will lead to slow speed internet and crash which come with negative impact to the business. You have incorporated various practical examples in your response which signifies critical thinking ability which is commendable.
Patrik Khator
I love the way you have introduced your response with a clear and comprehensive explanation of net neutrality as the directing rules that tries to control and standardize the internet service provider activities. I concur with you that net neutrality will utilize the first-in-first out mechanism of receiving and redirecting the data without bias of the size or source which ensure equality in service provision. I would like to add that the net neutrality needs to consider that the move will attract high traffic for the given bandwidth which increases the chances of spam and infection. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) needs to protect its client and the public and ensure that proper strategies for or against net neutrality is developed effectively. I agree with you that without net neutrality the internet services providers can block, slow down or back off access to sites they don't care for which is not fair and just. Your response is systematically presented and directional. Keep up the good work.

A Stanford and Harvard professor convened a symposium on what’s
actually working to improve diversity and inclusion in organizational life. In this
article, David Pedulla summarizes the main findings. First, organizations should set
goals, collect data, and hold people accountable for improving diversity within the
organization. Second, organizations should abandon traditional discrimination and
harassment reporting systems — these often lead to retaliation. Employee
Assistance Plans (EAPs), ombuds offices, and transformative dispute resolution
https://hbr.org/topic/gender
https://hbr.org/search?term=david%20pedulla
/
systems can play a critical role in not only reducing retaliation but also provide fuel
for organizational change. Third, organizations should check to ensure that
technologies used to assist in hiring and promotion aren’t inherently biased.
Fourth, companies must avoid tokenism. Finally, organizations should get
managers and other leaders involved in diversity programs from the start. This will
increase buy-in and lead to smooth implementation.
In the wake of major social and political changes over the past
decades, leading companies are taking steps to increase diversity,
equity, and inclusion. Yet progress in most sectors remains tepid.
Programs designed to increase diversity and inclusion in the
workplace often fail. So that leads to a natural question: What’s
actually working?
Focusing on solutions to the diversity challenge — rather than on the
failures — was top of mind when Devah Pager and I designed a
convening in 2018. We brought together leading experts on bias,
technology, discrimination, and organizational design, and – rather
than documenting the problems that abound – we asked everyone to
focus on answering one simple question: What works? (Pager, who
was the Peter and Isabel Malkin professor of public policy and
professor of sociology at Harvard University, passed away in 2018.
The ongoing aspects of our project, I hope, are a testament to her
pathbreaking work on racial discrimination and social inequality.)
It was challenging to keep our emphasis on solutions. As became
clear, there is no silver bullet. No single solution. Yet, in pushing
ourselves to think outside the box and draw on the best empirical
evidence that exists, the convening participants identified promising
areas where investment, focus, and experimentation have the ability
to serve as remarkable engines of change
We dove into these promising areas and produced a report, titled
“What Works? Evidence-Based Ideas to Increase Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion in the Workplace.” Here, I highlight five key insights

Creating the ideal marketing plan requires many steps and gathering data. “Knowing the needs of the customer and having a clearly articulated mission will help to target the message to an audience who will be most interested in the service that is being provided” (Sciarra, Lynch, Adams, & Dorsey (2016) p. 340). To find these needs, a needs assessment can be done. After gathering the results, a plan can start to form. Creating a Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats chart (SWOT) will give you a broader view on how to target your population.
“The first step in conducting SWOT analysis is to identify your stakeholders and data that has already been collected” (Sciarra, (2016) p. 340). Your stakeholders will guide you into the right direction for a plan of action. Looking at the type of population including the children, families, and staff members will give you the data to create your SWOT. Moving forward with the data, now to breakdown your SWOT data analysis and create a marketing plan. Strengths; reviewing this section will give you an objective overview of any changes needing to be made. Strengths can consist of staff, location, cliental, and possibly opportunities. If there are areas of weakness this gives us the ability to make changes. Moving forward with those changes leads us to Weakness, do we see a pattern of areas? What can we do to upgrade or change these areas we have identified? Moving on next to Opportunities, what options do we have beyond what we have now? Is there room for growth both financially and structurally? Finally, Threats to evaluate. Are we looking at opening a facility next door to two other highly rated centers that may cause us competition and difficulty building a successful business? Is there a possibility that the area is losing population and economic strength? Gathering the data and taking a step back and reviewing all the pro’s and con’s will give us a bigger picture when deciding which way to market our audience.

TAMMY’S POST:
The scenario
As a human service professional, the agency I represent only provides career assistance, none of which is monetary; all other assistance is a referral to other resources. My sincerely motivated client cannot afford clothes for interviews. Other options have been exhausted.
Kitchener's ethical decision-making model
Kitchener's model is based on five assumptions that need to be at the core of any ethical evaluation and assumes that all ethical behaviors are presumed to be based on 1) autonomy, acting on free-will 2) beneficence, the intention is of benefit to the client, 3) nonmaleficence, actions are not harmful to the client, 4) justice, respect to rights and dignity of client and agency, and 5) fidelity, to commit to client need as appropriate to agency mission (Martin, 2018).
Applying the NOHS ethical principle to my rationale
The NOHS preamble states its purpose as providing human service professionals and educators with guidelines to manage ethical dilemmas effectively broken down into two sections. The first section focusing on human service professionals standards, and the second section focusing on human service educator standards. The human service professional standards categorize responsibilities of and to the client, community, and agency. The standards hone in on respect for dignity, honoring integrity, doing no harm, and avoiding exploitation by maintaining self-awareness and awareness of historical and current global influences that impact oppression and marginalization and demonstrate ethical personal and professional aspects. A human service professional has a duty to clients to recognize client strengths, a right to confidentiality, protect client records, avoid intimate relationships with clients, and not impose personal biases and values. To the public and society, these standards extend a professional obligation to provide services without discrimination or bias, the awareness of laws and advocacy if these violate client rights, how social and political issues impact diversity, and social justice advocacy eliminate oppression (Martin, 2018).

You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:
Create a living will that can serve as a template to the patients. This should cover the basic treatment issues such as resuscitation, feeding tubes, ventilation, organ and tissue donations, etc. Provide instructions in the template that can be easily altered, depending on each patient's wishes.
Summary:
In this section, you will discuss the importance of this document and encourage patients to complete it. Address how this document ensures that a patient's wishes are known and followed by the healthcare team.

Your response is well presented and informational. I agree with you that net neutrality is the standardization policy that monitors and ensure internet services providers are deliver information to consumers at a similar speed, in spite of the content. I would like to add the law must strike an agreement connecting securing the private privileges of Internet specialist organizations to facilitate security for the best interest of the internet users.
Net neutrality progress information technology effectiveness as it facilitates the people or organization to recognized worldwide commerce and successfully offers services for their customers. I like the way you have provided that the provided restriction of the internet service providers will lead to slow speed internet and crash which come with negative impact to the business. You have incorporated various practical examples in your response which signifies critical thinking ability which is commendable.
Patrik Khator
I love the way you have introduced your response with a clear and comprehensive explanation of net neutrality as the directing rules that tries to control and standardize the internet service provider activities. I concur with you that net neutrality will utilize the first-in-first out mechanism of receiving and redirecting the data without bias of the size or source which ensure equality in service provision. I would like to add that the net neutrality needs to consider that the move will attract high traffic for the given bandwidth which increases the chances of spam and infection. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) needs to protect its client and the public and ensure that proper strategies for or against net neutrality is developed effectively. I agree with you that without net neutrality the internet services providers can block, slow down or back off access to sites they don't care for which is not fair and just. Your response is systematically presented and directional. Keep up the good work.

Diversity and Inclusion Efforts That
Really Work
by David Pedulla
May 12, 2020
Summary.
Rusty Hill/Getty Images
A Stanford and Harvard professor convened a symposium on what’s
actually working to improve diversity and inclusion in organizational life. In this
article, David Pedulla summarizes the main findings. First, organizations should set
goals, collect data, and hold people accountable for improving diversity within the
organization. Second, organizations should abandon traditional discrimination and
harassment reporting systems — these often lead to retaliation. Employee
Assistance Plans (EAPs), ombuds offices, and transformative dispute resolution
https://hbr.org/topic/gender
https://hbr.org/search?term=david%20pedulla
/
systems can play a critical role in not only reducing retaliation but also provide fuel
for organizational change. Third, organizations should check to ensure that
technologies used to assist in hiring and promotion aren’t inherently biased.
Fourth, companies must avoid tokenism. Finally, organizations should get
managers and other leaders involved in diversity programs from the start. This will
increase buy-in and lead to smooth implementation.
In the wake of major social and political changes over the past
decades, leading companies are taking steps to increase diversity,
equity, and inclusion. Yet progress in most sectors remains tepid.
Programs designed to increase diversity and inclusion in the
workplace often fail. So that leads to a natural question: What’s
actually working?
Focusing on solutions to the diversity challenge — rather than on the
failures — was top of mind when Devah Pager and I designed a
convening in 2018. We brought together leading experts on bias,
technology, discrimination, and organizational design, and – rather
than documenting the problems that abound – we asked everyone to
focus on answering one simple question: What works? (Pager, who
was the Peter and Isabel Malkin professor of public policy and
professor of sociology at Harvard University, passed away in 2018.
The ongoing aspects of our project, I hope, are a testament to her
pathbreaking work on racial discrimination and social inequality.)
It was challenging to keep our emphasis on solutions. As became
clear, there is no silver bullet. No single solution. Yet, in pushing
ourselves to think outside the box and draw on the best empirical
evidence that exists, the convening participants identified promising
areas where investment, focus, and experimentation have the ability
to serve as remarkable engines of change
We dove into these promising areas and produced a report, titled
“What Works? Evidence-Based Ideas to Increase Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion in the Workplace.” Here, I highlight five key insights

Creating the ideal marketing plan requires many steps and gathering data. “Knowing the needs of the customer and having a clearly articulated mission will help to target the message to an audience who will be most interested in the service that is being provided” (Sciarra, Lynch, Adams, & Dorsey (2016) p. 340). To find these needs, a needs assessment can be done. After gathering the results, a plan can start to form. Creating a Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats chart (SWOT) will give you a broader view on how to target your population.
“The first step in conducting SWOT analysis is to identify your stakeholders and data that has already been collected” (Sciarra, (2016) p. 340). Your stakeholders will guide you into the right direction for a plan of action. Looking at the type of population including the children, families, and staff members will give you the data to create your SWOT. Moving forward with the data, now to breakdown your SWOT data analysis and create a marketing plan. Strengths; reviewing this section will give you an objective overview of any changes needing to be made. Strengths can consist of staff, location, cliental, and possibly opportunities. If there are areas of weakness this gives us the ability to make changes. Moving forward with those changes leads us to Weakness, do we see a pattern of areas? What can we do to upgrade or change these areas we have identified? Moving on next to Opportunities, what options do we have beyond what we have now? Is there room for growth both financially and structurally? Finally, Threats to evaluate. Are we looking at opening a facility next door to two other highly rated centers that may cause us competition and difficulty building a successful business? Is there a possibility that the area is losing population and economic strength? Gathering the data and taking a step back and reviewing all the pro’s and con’s will give us a bigger picture when deciding which way to market our audience.
Taking a look at the strengths from all the gathered data will give you a good direction to follow for reaching protentional public relations opportunities.

TAMMY’S POST:
The scenario
As a human service professional, the agency I represent only provides career assistance, none of which is monetary; all other assistance is a referral to other resources. My sincerely motivated client cannot afford clothes for interviews. Other options have been exhausted.
Kitchener's ethical decision-making model
Kitchener's model is based on five assumptions that need to be at the core of any ethical evaluation and assumes that all ethical behaviors are presumed to be based on 1) autonomy, acting on free-will 2) beneficence, the intention is of benefit to the client, 3) nonmaleficence, actions are not harmful to the client, 4) justice, respect to rights and dignity of client and agency, and 5) fidelity, to commit to client need as appropriate to agency mission (Martin, 2018).
Applying the NOHS ethical principle to my rationale
The NOHS preamble states its purpose as providing human service professionals and educators with guidelines to manage ethical dilemmas effectively broken down into two sections. The first section focusing on human service professionals standards, and the second section focusing on human service educator standards. The human service professional standards categorize responsibilities of and to the client, community, and agency. The standards hone in on respect for dignity, honoring integrity, doing no harm, and avoiding exploitation by maintaining self-awareness and awareness of historical and current global influences that impact oppression and marginalization and demonstrate ethical personal and professional aspects. A human service professional has a duty to clients to recognize client strengths, a right to confidentiality, protect client records, avoid intimate relationships with clients, and not impose personal biases and values. To the public and society, these standards extend a professional obligation to provide services without discrimination or bias, the awareness of laws and advocacy if these violate client rights, how social and political issues impact diversity, and social justice advocacy eliminate oppression (Martin, 2018).

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
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.

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.

Analyze and explain the ethical considerations associated with
managing information.
Technology can pose to be a blessing and a curse at the same
time. The information provided is quick and efficient but
unethical considerations can take place easily. This past
decade, there has been numerous attempts by many different
governments, countries, states, people, who have potential of
breaking the law and violating the rights of citizens for selfish
gain. according to an online article, "Ethics refers to the
principles of right and wrong that individuals, acting as free
moral agents, use to make choices to guide their behaviors"
(Zheng, 2013).
The first concern with managing information is ensuring the
information cannot be manipulated. Ethical issues would be
considerations to privacy and inappropriate use of information,
global access to these systems and control of these systems.
Managers would have to ensure safety guards are in place to
protect the privacy of their clients, financial information and
other important information for the organization. Per an article
in Colorado edu, "The broad issues relating to electronic
information systems include control of and access to
information, privacy and misuse of data, and international
considerations. All of these extend to electronic networks,
electronic databases, and, more specifically, to geographic
information systems. Specific problems within each of the three
areas, however, require slightly different kinds of ethical
decisions" (Lynch, 1994).
Cause-related marketing has become a controversial issue
among potential donors and funders. What are the potential
pitfalls associated with cause-related marketing?
Cause-related marketing is a nonprofit organization networking
with a well known company and the well known company
promoting and supporting the nonprofit organization. While
2. this seems to be an excellent idea, because this sheds light on
the cause of the nonprofit organization, the potential problems
this can cause is the one of the organizations could make bad
decisions, which will make the other one look bad. Companies
have to protect their reputation and we can see many companies
affected, due to bad business practices from the other company.
Another issue is according to an article in Wealth Group,
"Cause-related marketing triggers issues under Federal and state
laws governing false or misleading advertising, state
commercial co-venture laws, and Better Business Bureau
Standards" (Mathis, 2015). Large organizations may advertise
they may donate to a cause, without disclosing the specifics of
their donation, misleading the population and causing for the
company to be investigated.
Consider yourself as a volunteer hired to develop a template for
gathering information about major gift prospects. What
information would be the most important? Why?
Knowing who your major supporters are, is key to the survival
of a nonprofit organization. The first important information is,
knowing who are potential major donors. Knowing this
information will help you understand how to approach this
prospect and win favor with them. With gathering their
information as to who they are, what they're about, what they
value in an organization will help you build a case for them.
The next type of information is, who will work to develop a
relationship with major donors. Having someone who can build
a relationship will also gain favor with that prospect. This
person will gain extra knowledge on the person you're wanting
to network with and will build a bridge with the organization
and them.
The last piece of information is, are there any donors that can
be cultivated into major donors. An example of that is the
organization that's within my company is nonprofit. We had a
donor who helped us open our doors but through a working
relationship and him seeing the progress we've made, along with
3. the people we've helped, has caused him to become a major
donor. There are always some donors who will support your
organization a little at first, to see what your true intentions are
but can be turned into major donors if the organization is stands
true to who they say they are.

Ethical considerations are those that pertain to moral values and
decision making at the individual or societal levels. They can
affect a large number of different types of communities ranging
from those involved in healthcare, government, business,
religion, and even social needs. Ethical considerations can thus
involve activities as diverse as information disclosure, research,
practices ecological awareness, and better business. Ethical
considerations help define standard of care. It is useful to
affirm principals to guide a nonprofit organizations decision
and activities.
Affirming values formally grant guidelines for making ethical
choices to ensure accountability. Ethical considerations
associated with managing information are tainted money,
compensation, privacy, stewardship, and conflict of interest.
Tainted money offers money that may have a conflict of
4. interest. The organization should considered where the money is
coming from and whether it would be a conflict because of their
mission. Conflict of interest is when an individual’s personal
interest or concerns are inconsistent with the best for the
organization. Then there is privacy, which bring transparency
and trust to the organization. Privacy grant the organization the
opportunity to plan ahead. Compensation enduring ethic
principals that represent standards, and the standards are
situational that depend on the context of the situation. Lastly
there is stewardship, which the board members are responsible
for the overall wellbeing of the organization. The board
members work exclusively for the benefit of the organization
and its mission. It is required that ethical issues are considered
during the formulation.
Cause related marketing ties an organization’s brand to
something bigger that it’s firm that will resonate with customers
and gain recognition. Cause related marketing can plunge to the
ground. The company can make a wrong decision when forming
a partnership. Its potential pitfalls would include false or
misleading advertising. Advertising should clearly disclose
information. An organization’s information should be clear,
complete, and truthful.
Over commercialization of activities designed to benefit society
may harm the activities that are trying to help. Some other
issues of concern are shifting in giving, tarnishing the causes
image, and reduced overall giving. Shifting in giving is difficult
to prevent. Causes may demonstrate the value from specific
activity. Cause’s image is of prime importance. Inconsistence
identified and generate extensive negative publicity. It is
difficult to identify how causes affect firm’s overall giving
style. The overall impact of any or all of the problems is that
causes may face financial shortfalls.
Conducting solicitation is like guiding a vessel through water.
A crew of informed, committed, prepared professionals are
need. As a leader you need to know all fundraising programs
and campaigns are based upon key elements. These key
5. elements are relationship, charity, and an organization. The
relationship is for support and teamwork, because it will
cultivate relationships with donors. Also the organization can
successfully build its giving by communicating the needs and
offering creative ways for donors to support the mission. Lastly
organizations with a dedicated solicitation team can effectively
develop.
Building an effective solicitation team and matching the right
solicitor to a prospect is another indication of a successful
solicitation. The team should model stewardship giving. The
staff professional are the educator, communicator, planner, and
motivator. Their confidence is determined by their stewardship
and monetary support and must be the first to give leadership
gifts if they expect to receive. Qualified, educated prospects,
the right team of well-prepared professional and a compelling
reason to give are key necessary components for a successful
solicitation.

Donor information management in the non-profit world can
be both hectic and ridiculously easy at the same time.
Understandably, this depends on the information system chosen
for your organization. “In reality, the system should help
development professionals identify, cultivate, and solicit
current and prospective donors.” (Weinstein, pg73). A plethora
6. of options at available to choose from when it comes to
information databases for non-profits. The databases I have
worked with in the past have been Civi, Salesforce, Blackbaud,
and Abila. Each system has its ups and downs accordingly. I
should mention though, that they also had a few user difficulties
in its capability department. Both Civi and Abila were basically
vaults of information with little to no user-friendly functions.
They lean more towards a development centered program. If
other departments wanted to utilize it, the cross functioning is
very limited. For instance, the use of tracking volunteer hours
coinciding with a donor group was nearly impossible to keep
accurate. The rivals Blackbaud and Salesforce were both
amazing to work with and but they had so many functions that
after a while, it became too much to remember each function
available. The feeling was eerily similar to going to a restaurant
and having to look at a 20-page menu. While the options are
nice, and it is more than I anticipated, the amount of options
undoubtedly takes me forever to find what you want.
Depending on the nonprofit and the data that needs to be kept,
each system listed above could be the right one for you. “A
well-designed software package will permit users to record and
retrieve…names, addresses…prospective donors…a history
of…pledge payments…and a great deal more information
concerning the prospect’s interests and relationship to the
organization” (Weinsten, pg74). Civi, Salesforce, Blackbaud,
and Abila each had those capabilities, but it is vital to
remember that the work you put into the system, is work that
will pay off later. What I mean by this is, the most important
part to any database is to input and save any and all data. I
would recommend keeping all of the data collected strictly
confidential unless specific people request otherwise. While it
may seem ridiculous to say, it is important to be aware of the
fact that personal information is indeed personal. It would be
ethically sound to do so. Any nonprofit would make it a point to
collect any data concerning friends, volunteers, donors and
prospective donors. It would serve any non-profit well to
7. properly delete all duplicate data made in error, as wells as
understand whether or not any of the aforementioned people
have indicated that would like to not be contacted. Annoying
those who have opted out, potential donors, or current donors
with any or double solicitation emails, phone calls and/or
mailings would be disastrous. To me, this is equivalent to
shoving something in other person's face, without prompt. It
looks bad for your organization and can portray an image of not
being a well-constructed organization. This error can happen
often when a database is shared among multiple people. Pulling
reports from the data collected can assist an organization with
setting goals. This is why every non-profit organization should
have their development department go through some type of
FERPA (Family Emergency Rights and Privacy Act) training,
have an IT person on hand to help with information
containment, as well as obtain an information database to safely
contain donor information.

On the word of Weinstein (2009) fundraising reports can be
grouped in three main categories: attention directing, problem
solving, and scorekeeping. Managing this such information
properly is very important. The integrity of data can be
counteracted by making some fields in the software system
must-enter fields. “One approach might be to make the type,
gift date, appeal code, and use of funds must-enter fields,”
(Weinstein, 2009). The ethical considerations that are
associated with managing information such as the information
concerning fundraising data bases it that it may include some
sensitive information. Such fields as:
Names, addresses, and phone numbers of current, past, and
prospective donors; a history of every donation, indicating the
8. amount of the contribution, the solicitation method, and any gift
restrictions; the form of the contribution (cash, stock, in-kind,
or other); a history of pledges and pledge payments; comments
and memos containing vital information concerning the
prospective donor; volunteer solicitor assignments; deadlines
and contact dates; memorial and honorary giving; and a great
deal more information concerning the prospect's interests and
relationship to the organization. (Weinstein, 2009, p. 88)
There can be quite a bit of controversy among potential donors
and funders. Liston-Heyes and Liu (2013) discussed three major
concerns relating to issues of: alliance risks, organizational
identity, and the prioritization of NPO stakeholders. These can
all be pitfalls of cause-related marketing.
On the word of Liston-Heyes (2013) an organization's
identity is created through iterative negotiations between an
organization’s stakeholder. This makes it hard to alter the
organizations cognitive image with support of its stakeholders.
According to Liston-Heyes and Liu (2013) partnerships amid a
NPO and a firm allows employees to realign their social with
their commercial and moral identities which strengthens the
organization's validity. However, this study showed that this
may not be the case for NPOs. “More concretely, NPO concerns
regarding how CRM will impact on organizational values and
the management style of the NPO substantially restricts
engagement in CRM” (Liston-Heyes and Liu, 2013).
Other concerns that are associated with safeguarding strategies
that use contracts and which are supported in most cases by
expert negotiators. According to Liston-Heyes and Liu (2013)
there are emphasis on publicizing governance mechanisms to
foster levels of trust between stakeholder groups while deterring
the corporate partner from NPO brand misuse and other goal
displacement attempts. Moreover, the issues of trade-offs
between social and corporate priorities can be a pitfall of CRM.
“In most of the organizations surveyed, these trade-offs are
carried out by making explicit references to the ethical
guidelines endorsed by the NPO,” (Liston-Heyes and Liu, 2013)
9. As a volunteer hired to develop a template for gathering
information about major gift prospects information such as
prospect names, dates, giving status and next moves would be
among information considered important to collect. This will
allow there to be some predictability about reaching out to the
same donor again. It also allows you to get a feel for how
generous they are and what they plan on doing next as far as
donating.
