The IT staff at Texas Health Resources Inc. must deliver more than technical functionality. And it needs to deliver more than the business requirements; it also has to meet the organization’s ethical standards.
To that end, its systems must help ensure that Texas Health complies with laws and regulations. And they also have to promote the right behaviors and prevent or flag undesirable ones, says Micheal Alverson, vice president and deputy chief information officer at the Arlington-based nonprofit health care system. Consider the challenge of handling patients’ medical records. Even though the federal Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act mandates that agencies keep those records private, caregivers still need to access them—when appropriate.
So the organization’s electronic health records system “gives doctors and nurses who are caring directly for patients quick access when they use the right authentication,” Alverson says. But additional authentication is required to get records for patients who aren’t under the provider’s immediate care. The system records who gets access to what, allowing officials to audit and review cases to ensure there’s no inappropriate access.
“the IT staff holds itself to similar ethical standards, too,” Alverson says. The department has policies that prohibit taking gifts and endorsing vendors, to help guarantee that workers make procurement decisions only based on quality and needs. And when there’s any question—such as when a vendor proposes a deep discount if Texas Health agrees to be an early adopter of a new technology—IT leaders can turn to the system wide Business and Ethics Council for guidance.
“If we really want everyone to subscribe to the idea that working at Texas Health is special, then we have to have people actively believe in doing the right thing,” Alverson says.
Companies are increasingly looking at their ethics policies and articulating specific values that address a range of issues, from community commitment to environmental sustainability, which employees can use to guide their work. The need to comply with federal laws and regulations drives some of this, while consumer expectations, employee demands, and economic pressures also play a part.
Information technology consultant Dena L. Smith lays out a hypothetical dilemma: should an IT department hire a more expensive vendor because the vendor shares its own company’s ethics standards, or should it go with a lower cost provider that doesn’t?
Companies with established ethical standards that guide how they conduct business frequently confront this kind of question, Smith says, but it’s a particularly tough question today, given the recession,. With IT departments forced to cut budgets and staff, chief information officers will find it difficult to allocate dollars for applications that promote corporate ethics.

Assignment:
Respond to two or more of your classmates in one or more of the following ways:
· Offer your thoughts on where the example codes of conduct provided by your colleague either assisted or could have assisted in preventing negative consequences. Support your position by suggesting potential scenarios to which the code of conduct/ethics may apply.
· Offer specific examples from your experience or observations/research of situations where such codes would have made decision making simpler or kept individuals from making bad choices in the use or management of information or information systems.
· Compare the findings of your colleague with your own. What insights did you gain or can you offer as a result of your comparison? Did your colleague take a stand regarding the value of establishing a code of conduct/ethics related to information and information systems that was different from yours, and if so, was the argument made persuasively, or do you think your stand is still more appropriate? Defend your position with evidence and specific examples.
· Offer your insights on how a code of conduct can assist businesses operating globally when there are potential compromises as a result of different cultural norms, practices, expectations, or regulations. Provide examples of where global practices might differ and what managers may need to ensure their employees are not compromised in various situations that may occur. Provide specific examples from your experience or observations.

Technology is used today for a variety of reasons, to communicate, to send information, to store information, and can pose ethical issues. According to Brooks (2010), technology, primarily computer-based systems, can be responsible for unethical information. Businesses need to utilize a code of ethics/conduct to align their business decisions with their systems. Technology is an avenue for a person to be exposed to privileged information. Having a code of ethics enables the organization to hold employees to a set of standards about how to behave. When policies are not in place, it exposes the organization to risks. According to Brooks (2010), when policies are not clear, ethical decisions are left to the discretion of the employee, and this judgment varies widely from person to person. Unethical issues can range from improper and dishonest use of privileged information. According to Brooks (2010), developing a code of ethics specific to IT is necessary to establish trust, foster a culture of honesty, and corporate integrity. The increase in technology development has opened us to all kinds of information, and companies need to communicate how technology is to be utilized. Leaders must apply the code of ethics to daily business; having a policy in an of itself does not guarantee ethical behavior (Brooks, 2010).

Online Policies for Enabling Financial Companies to Manage Privacy Issues

ABSTRACT
Financial companies are under constant threats in the face of cyber-attacks, which are growing by the day. The companies usually implement measures that primarily focus on the deployment of technologies for suppressing the attacks. They do not consider user policies as essential elements that help curb the vulnerabilities. The policies put in place have a low level of enforceability, which lowers the impact of the plans. The research project will determine the relationship between policy enforceability and the vulnerabilities posed to a system by the internal and external users.
INTRODUCTION
Business companies in the financial sector have the responsibility of ensuring the data that belong to the customers are fully protected. Cyber-crimes are on the rise, and the approaches employed today are not entirely practical. Technological tools and measures are not efficient. They should be complemented by the behavioral standards that suppress the vulnerabilities in all the IT domains (Vincent, Higgs & Pinsker, 2015). Enforceable policies will ensure there is an integration of behavioral and technological measures for promoting data security and privacy.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Financial companies usually emphasize policies that guide the collection of customer and storage as well as access to the data by the internal and external users. These policies are relevant as they promote best practices at both levels. The companies have a belief that these are the areas that need closer monitoring and evaluation. However, the policies put in place are not always enforceable. A lack of enforceability creates a situation where the desired outcomes are not realized (Yeganeh, 2019). It explains why data breaches are still experienced even after such policies are formulated and implemented.
RESEARCH METHOD
To investigate the relationship between enforceability of the policies and the vulnerabilities that business organizations are exposed to, a case study method will be used. It is an essential tool that helps determine a causal relationship (White & McBurney, 2012). Also, it will provide insights that will inform the recommendations that need to be considered by the multiple business organizations in the financial sector. Credible data that are free of confounding variables must be collected, analyzed, and inferences drawn. Two data collection procedures will be utilized as follows.
i. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to collect diverse data on the design and implementation of user and online policies. The interviewees will offer data that expound on the security and privacy positions of the systems.
ii. Independent observations will be made to inform the behaviors of the users, both internally and externally. The observation ...

Introduction
Companies in the financial sector handle data that are priority for hackers.
Organizations invest in vast technologies for protecting the data from unauthorized access.
However, they do not adequately invest in behavioral measures for safeguarding the data.
Companies in the financial sector face numerous attempts by the cybercriminals who target stealing data stored in the systems. The corporations handle confidential data that could be used for committing crimes, such as impersonation and illegal transfer of money (Noor & Hassan, 2019). It is a major concern whether financial institutions have effective policies that ensure the data are properly secured from both internal and external threats. Financial companies, especially those that spread across the country have always focused on investing in technologies that promote the privacy of the data and the systems. They are deploying technologies, such as cloud computing, which promote the privacy of the data. Also, they use Bcrypt technologies to encrypt data via algorithms that will take hackers decades to decrypt a single password. Though they invest in such technologies that cost millions of dollars, there are questions whether they invest in behavioral measures to protect the data systems (Noor & Hassan, 2019). Such measures require the use of online policies that will ensure that internal and the external users can adhere to best practices that make them less vulnerable to attacks, especially the social engineering attacks that target unsuspecting users.

Literature Review
Financial companies have implemented policies for promoting desirable user behaviors.
They provide guidelines on how to use the networks.
They do not require the users to follow strict rules, which indicates the inefficiency of the policies.
Financial companies have implemented policies on how customers access their data remotely. Such policies outline the standards that customers must follow such as the multi-factor authentication, which aims at ensuring that no unauthorized users access the data (Suchitra &Vandana, 2016). The policies are communicated to the customers when they provide their data. It is an effective approach that mainly ensures that customer must follow certain guidelines that promote the overall security of the data. However, Timothy Toohey (2014) questions whether the policies apply to the side of the users who are very likely to exhibit behaviors that expose data to threats. For instance, the customers may use devices that have weak antimalware tools. Such devices create an avenue that a hacker can use and access the system.

1. What types of ethical issues and information security issues are common in organizations?
Ethical issues that companies are faced with is ensuring the proper use of the employee, user, and technological data that the company has in their possession. Some organizations have been known in the past to sell the data that the users provide them. This could be an ethical issue by selling the data that is trusted to the organization this falls under the ethical issue of confidentiality. Privacy is the issue of ensuring that the data is secured against attacks and hacker trying to obtain the data. Security issues include the organization developing policies and procedures that ensure the proper use and protection of the data the company has. To develop the policies and procedures a company can have their team look at the OWASP top ten on the OWASP website. (OWASP, 2017) This shows the top rated security issues that the company can employ to ensure the security of their data.
2. How can a company participating in e-business keep its information secure?
A company can ensure that they are ad-hearing the OWASP TOP ten along with making sure that the work stations and servers are up to date with all current patches and anti-virus software.
3. In regards to the organization or company you have chosen to analyze this semester, what types of ethics and information security concerns are there in your organization? What recommendations would you make to the company to better secure their information?
When it comes to recruiting service the data that we need to protect is extremely important we take care of a significant portion of the PII data. Ethical issues that come to though are how the government uses the data which could be used for personal gain or malicious purposes when it comes to the applicant. I think that giving the applicant the power to put their own information into a secure web site and then be allowed to transmit their own information for security clearance would allow the applicant and the air force to take the human element middle man out of the equation and can help mitigate the ethical issues that the organization is faced with. 1.

Healthcare organizations are awash with data. However, electronic health records (EHRs) and digital clinical systems in many healthcare organizations have been deployed without strategic data and IT infrastructure security planning. As a result, chief information security officers (CISOs) frequently have limited authority, sparse staffing and tight budgets. Data security spending in healthcare lags behind other top cybercrime targets such as financial services, according to new research by HIMSS Analytics on behalf of Symantec Corporation.

Scenario:
Sam Trudeau owned a busy veterinary hospital. Two receptionists “manned” the front desk at all times. Their responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, collect payments on services rendered, and various other duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form of cash, checks, and charge cards.
A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s shift, the phones seemed to be ringing non-stop, clients were backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr. Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was $25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr. Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one was generated.
At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be re-filed. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate the paperwork, so there was $25.00 in the cash drawer that had no paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way home and was short cash, so he took the $25.00 out of the drawer, meaning to pay it back.
The next day, no one had noticed the $25.00 was missing, and Mr. Ordine’s file was re-filed. Sam considered the plusses and minuses of putting the $25.00 back in the drawer, and creating the paperwork for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing him to just keep the $25.00. After all, it was not that much money and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay taxes on it anyway.
Respond to the checklist items below in a minimum of a 1–2 page response using APA format and citation style (include an additional title and reference page).
1) Explain the ethical considerations from the Consequentialist (choose one: ethical egoism, act utilitarianism, or rule utilitarianism) and Non-consequentialist (choose one: Divine command, or Categorical imperative) or one of the Virtue ethics viewpoints. You should therefore present a total of two viewpoints concerning the scenario above.
2) Explain the strength of one of your viewpoints chosen for #1 and the corresponding weakness with regards to this scenario and the decision made by Sam Trudeau.
3) Describe what you think the effect will be on the other personnel at the hospital upon an auditor discovering this situation.
4) Discuss how Sam Trudeau should approach the situation using your chosen ethical perspective and explain why and ho.

ABSTRACT
Financial companies are under constant threats in the face of cyber-attacks, which are growing by the day. The companies usually implement measures that primarily focus on the deployment of technologies for suppressing the attacks. They do not consider user policies as essential elements that help curb the vulnerabilities. The policies put in place have a low level of enforceability, which lowers the impact of the plans. The research project will determine the relationship between policy enforceability and the vulnerabilities posed to a system by the internal and external users.
INTRODUCTION
Business companies in the financial sector have the responsibility of ensuring the data that belong to the customers are fully protected. Cyber-crimes are on the rise, and the approaches employed today are not entirely practical. Technological tools and measures are not efficient. They should be complemented by the behavioral standards that suppress the vulnerabilities in all the IT domains (Vincent, Higgs & Pinsker, 2015). Enforceable policies will ensure there is an integration of behavioral and technological measures for promoting data security and privacy.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Financial companies usually emphasize policies that guide the collection of customer and storage as well as access to the data by the internal and external users. These policies are relevant as they promote best practices at both levels. The companies have a belief that these are the areas that need closer monitoring and evaluation. However, the policies put in place are not always enforceable. A lack of enforceability creates a situation where the desired outcomes are not realized (Yeganeh, 2019). It explains why data breaches are still experienced even after such policies are formulated and implemented.
RESEARCH METHOD
To investigate the relationship between enforceability of the policies and the vulnerabilities that business organizations are exposed to, a case study method will be used. It is an essential tool that helps determine a causal relationship (White & McBurney, 2012). Also, it will provide insights that will inform the recommendations that need to be considered by the multiple business organizations in the financial sector. Credible data that are free of confounding variables must be collected, analyzed, and inferences drawn. Two data collection procedures will be utilized as follows.
i. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to collect diverse data on the design and implementation of user and online policies. The interviewees will offer data that expound on the security and privacy positions of the systems.
ii. Independent observations will be made to inform the behaviors of the users, both internally and externally. The observation.

Introduction
Companies in the financial sector handle data that are priority for hackers.
Organizations invest in vast technologies for protecting the data from unauthorized access.
However, they do not adequately invest in behavioral measures for safeguarding the data.
Companies in the financial sector face numerous attempts by the cybercriminals who target stealing data stored in the systems. The corporations handle confidential data that could be used for committing crimes, such as impersonation and illegal transfer of money (Noor & Hassan, 2019). It is a major concern whether financial institutions have effective policies that ensure the data are properly secured from both internal and external threats. Financial companies, especially those that spread across the country have always focused on investing in technologies that promote the privacy of the data and the systems. They are deploying technologies, such as cloud computing, which promote the privacy of the data. Also, they use Bcrypt technologies to encrypt data via algorithms that will take hackers decades to decrypt a single password. Though they invest in such technologies that cost millions of dollars, there are questions whether they invest in behavioral measures to protect the data systems (Noor & Hassan, 2019). Such measures require the use of online policies that will ensure that internal and the external users can adhere to best practices that make them less vulnerable to attacks, especially the social engineering attacks that target unsuspecting users.

Literature Review
Financial companies have implemented policies for promoting desirable user behaviors.
They provide guidelines on how to use the networks.
They do not require the users to follow strict rules, which indicates the inefficiency of the policies.
Financial companies have implemented policies on how customers access their data remotely. Such policies outline the standards that customers must follow such as the multi-factor authentication, which aims at ensuring that no unauthorized users access the data (Suchitra &Vandana, 2016). The policies are communicated to the customers when they provide their data. It is an effective approach that mainly ensures that customer must follow certain guidelines that promote the overall security of the data. However, Timothy Toohey (2014) questions whether the policies apply to the side of the users who are very likely to exhibit behaviors that expose data to threats. For instance, the customers may use devices that have weak antimalware tools. Such devices create an avenue that a hacker can use and access the system.

1. What types of ethical issues and information security issues are common in organizations?
Ethical issues that companies are faced with is ensuring the proper use of the employee, user, and technological data that the company has in their possession. Some organizations have been known in the past to sell the data that the users provide them. This could be an ethical issue by selling the data that is trusted to the organization this falls under the ethical issue of confidentiality. Privacy is the issue of ensuring that the data is secured against attacks and hacker trying to obtain the data. Security issues include the organization developing policies and procedures that ensure the proper use and protection of the data the company has. To develop the policies and procedures a company can have their team look at the OWASP top ten on the OWASP website. (OWASP, 2017) This shows the top rated security issues that the company can employ to ensure the security of their data.
2. How can a company participating in e-business keep its information secure?
A company can ensure that they are ad-hearing the OWASP TOP ten along with making sure that the work stations and servers are up to date with all current patches and anti-virus software.
3. In regards to the organization or company you have chosen to analyze this semester, what types of ethics and information security concerns are there in your organization? What recommendations would you make to the company to better secure their information?
When it comes to recruiting service the data that we need to protect is extremely important we take care of a significant portion of the PII data. Ethical issues that come to though are how the government uses the data which could be used for personal gain or malicious purposes when it comes to the applicant. I think that giving the applicant the power to put their own information into a secure web site and then be allowed to transmit their own information for security clearance would allow the applicant and the air force to take the human element middle man out of the equation and can help mitigate the ethical issues that the organization is faced with. 1.

Healthcare organizations are awash with data. However, electronic health records (EHRs) and digital clinical systems in many healthcare organizations have been deployed without strategic data and IT infrastructure security planning. As a result, chief information security officers (CISOs) frequently have limited authority, sparse staffing and tight budgets. Data security spending in healthcare lags behind other top cybercrime targets such as financial services, according to new research by HIMSS Analytics on behalf of Symantec Corporation.

Scenario:
Sam Trudeau owned a busy veterinary hospital. Two receptionists “manned” the front desk at all times. Their responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, collect payments on services rendered, and various other duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form of cash, checks, and charge cards.
A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s shift, the phones seemed to be ringing non-stop, clients were backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr. Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was $25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr. Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one was generated.
At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be re-filed. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate the paperwork, so there was $25.00 in the cash drawer that had no paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way home and was short cash, so he took the $25.00 out of the drawer, meaning to pay it back.
The next day, no one had noticed the $25.00 was missing, and Mr. Ordine’s file was re-filed. Sam considered the plusses and minuses of putting the $25.00 back in the drawer, and creating the paperwork for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing him to just keep the $25.00. After all, it was not that much money and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay taxes on it anyway.

Scenario
In Part I of the assignment, Chuck House and Ben Holmes created a business they called House & Holmes Facilities Management. At the time, Chuck and Ben were the only employees. By the end of the second year, House & Holmes hired two additional full-time employees and paid a few temporary laborers as needed for certain maintenance jobs.
Chuck and one of the temporary laborers, Steve, were carrying an old cast iron bathtub through a customer’s house when the homeowner’s dog ran under Steve’s feet, causing him to lose his balance and drop his end of the tub. Unable to control the tub, Steve dropped his end of the tub causing it to knock over a flat screen television that shattered on the floor. The tub left scratches in the wood floors. Steve tore his rotator cuff in the fall and was unable to work for two months. Ryan, the customer, was upset about his television.
House & Holmes owns three trucks and one van, each registered to the business. The vehicles advertise the company’s name, phone number and website. Jason, one of the full-time employees, drives one of the trucks home at night when he is on call for emergency repairs. One night Jason stopped off at Hillside Tavern to have a couple of beers before going home. On the way home, Jason swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a car driven by Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine’s car sustained $4,500 in damages and she missed three days of work recovering from her injuries.
Regions Bank loaned $20,000 to House & Holmes. Chuck, Ben and their friend Phil agreed to be co-sureties for the loan. The handyman business defaulted on the loan and Regions Bank plans to sue Phil for payment of the loan.
House & Holmes agreed to install a new air conditioning unit and an outdoor kitchen in a luxury home on the beach. The parties agreed to a price of $9,500 for the purchase and installation of the air conditioning unit and outdoor kitchen. Chuck agreed to let the homeowner pay for the work in installments of $2000 a month. Two months later, the homeowner filed for bankruptcy. Chuck demanded payment of the remaining amount due or threatened to repos.

Tina, 45, is employed as a high school teacher; his biological father is not involved in his life. Tina’s boyfriend, Michael, often attempts to serve as a father figure to Jackson.
Jackson went to college immediately after high school, focused on a degree in chemistry. In high school, he was a good student who earned A’s and B’s in most courses. After a car accident, a slight head injury caused him to lose some cognitive functioning and analytical skills. Jackson started drinking alcohol occasionally with friends during his freshman year of college. He also abused prescription painkillers given to him after the accident.
Jackson was in two serious relationships his senior year of high school, with Alice and Beth. He asked both of the girls to marry him, but then recanted. Each of the relationships lasted about 6 months in which each girl complained that Jackson was distant and unable to commit emotionally. Jackson questioned his sexuality his first year in college when he found himself sexually attracted to his roommate Stanley. He asked to be moved to another dorm room due to his uncomfortable feelings around Stanley. Jackson continues to display an overindulgence in alcohol and has difficulty maintaining friendships and relationships. He has left college and is now home with his mother Tina, attending rehab. Tina has claimed that he does not leave his bedroom for the most part and refuses to find a job.

Read the following scenario and analyze how this situation should be handled.
Scenario
John, a health management student completing an internship at Memorial Hospital, has been appointed chair of a multidisciplinary clinical taskforce by the hospital's CEO. The taskforce will design a new operational system to reduce the waiting time of patients entering the hospital's emergency room (ER). Although John had no clinical experience, he had successfully completed a course in operations management prior to beginning his internship and was excited to apply his new knowledge for solving a "real" problem for the hospital.
The hospital CEO told John that when a patient entered the hospital's ER, it could take up to eight hours from the time the patient was initially triaged by a nurse to the time the patient was either discharged home or admitted as an inpatient by the physician. The CEO said, "Due to quality of patient care issues, this timeframe is unacceptable and the taskforce needs to come up with solutions to this problem. My goal is to reduce the "turnaround" time for the patient from eight hours to two hours."
Prior to being assigned as the chair of this taskforce, John had informally observed the operations of the hospital's ER and noted that many of the bottlenecks causing patient care delays were caused by operational issues such as nurses filling out duplicate forms and a lack of communication between the hospital departments (for example, radiology) when the ER physicians ordered tests or were waiting for test results to confirm their diagnoses. These bottlenecks caused a slow turnover of the ER's examination rooms and unnecessary paperwork resulting in the ineffective use of both the physicians' and nurses' time.
In addition to John, the CEO assigned Dr. Smith, the medical director of the hospital's ER, and Mary, the ER nurse manager, to the taskforce. As chair of the taskforce, John scheduled an initial meeting for 10:00 a.m., the following Monday. John was surprised that both Dr. Smith and Mary arrived twenty minutes late to the meeting saying that this was "taking valuable time away from their normal assignments." John started the meeting by first introducing himself. Before this meeting, he had no interactions with Dr. Smith and Mary. He then reviewed the current statistics of the average wait time for a patient presenting to the ER and the hospital's CEO desire to reduce this time. He then opened the meeting for comments and suggestions.
Dr. Smith spoke first, "In my opinion, the current operational systems that we have in place are just fine. We just need more ER physicians and examination rooms so that more patients can be seen." Dr. Smith told John to recommend that the operational systems were good enough and that the hospital should build a new wing for additional ER exam rooms and hire more physicians.
Interrupting Dr. Smith, John said, "The hospital has a very limited capital budget and no funds have been allocated for build.

Final Paper: Oral History Interview Paper
Throughout the course, you will be exploring various aspects of culture and intercultural communications. Your final assignment in this course will be to
conduct an extensive oral history interview with a person who is somewhat older than you and from a culture or subgroup that you are not a member of.
This person can be a relative or acquaintance who is from a different generation. It can be someone who immigrated to this country either recently or some time ago. Or, it can be someone who belongs to a different subgroup from you and whose cultural experiences you believe would be very different from your own. Obtain permission from the person you are interviewing to record the conversation (either an audio or a video and audio recording) or to take handwritten notes during the interview.
Your overarching goals during the oral history interview are as follows:
To learn more about the culture and subcultures to which your interview subject belongs.
To determine what issues they encountered in terms of intercultural communications.
To relate concepts you have studied in this course to the experiences of this person.
After you have conducted the interview, review your recording or your notes and write a six- to eight-page paper (excluding a title page and a reference page), in which you discuss aspects of this person's culture and/or subcultures and communication issues related to his or her cultural identity. In the paper, you must also include the following:
The name of the person and his or her relationship to you.
The interview subject's cultural background and the culture and/or subcultures to which he or she belongs.
At least six questions from the following list. You may add additional questions or other questions not on this list, if you wish. Remember, though, that the focus of your paper must be on intercultural communication issues.
How far back in time can the person remember? What is his or her first childhood memory? (Consider how it reflects the interview subject's culture or subculture?)
What does the person remember of the experience of being an immigrant or a subgroup member in that time?
Which impressions or experiences from that time are most vivid to him or her today?

CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services of.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

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.

Read the following and then answer the questions at the bottom.docx
1. Read the following and then answer the questions at the bottom
The IT staff at Texas Health Resources Inc. must deliver more
than technical functionality. And it needs to deliver more than
the business requirements; it also has to meet the organization’s
ethical standards.
To that end, its systems must help ensure that Texas Health
complies with laws and regulations. And they also have to
promote the right behaviors and prevent or flag undesirable
ones, says Micheal Alverson, vice president and deputy chief
information officer at the Arlington-based nonprofit health care
system. Consider the challenge of handling patients’ medical
records. Even though the federal Health Insurance Probability
and Accountability Act mandates that agencies keep those
records private, caregivers still need to access them—when
appropriate.
So the organization’s electronic health records system “gives
doctors and nurses who are caring directly for patients quick
access when they use the right authentication,” Alverson says.
But additional authentication is required to get records for
patients who aren’t under the provider’s immediate care. The
system records who gets access to what, allowing officials to
audit and review cases to ensure there’s no inappropriate
access.
“the IT staff holds itself to similar ethical standards, too,”
Alverson says. The department has policies that prohibit taking
gifts and endorsing vendors, to help guarantee that workers
make procurement decisions only based on quality and needs.
And when there’s any question—such as when a vendor
proposes a deep discount if Texas Health agrees to be an early
adopter of a new technology—IT leaders can turn to the system
2. wide Business and Ethics Council for guidance.
“If we really want everyone to subscribe to the idea that
working at Texas Health is special, then we have to have people
actively believe in doing the right thing,” Alverson says.
Companies are increasingly looking at their ethics policies and
articulating specific values that address a range of issues, from
community commitment to environmental sustainability, which
employees can use to guide their work. The need to comply with
federal laws and regulations drives some of this, while
consumer expectations, employee demands, and economic
pressures also play a part.
Information technology consultant Dena L. Smith lays out a
hypothetical dilemma: should an IT department hire a more
expensive vendor because the vendor shares its own company’s
ethics standards, or should it go with a lower cost provider that
doesn’t?
Companies with established ethical standards that guide how
they conduct business frequently confront this kind of question,
Smith says, but it’s a particularly tough question today, given
the recession,. With IT departments forced to cut budgets and
staff, chief information officers will find it difficult to allocate
dollars for applications that promote corporate ethics.
“The decisions are easier in the days when the economics were
favorable, but the choices may have to be more limited now,”
says former CIO John Stevenson, president of consultancy JG
Stevenson Associates. “Now it’s how much can you afford to do
versus how much do you have to do so you don’t get burned.”
Stevenson says companies that had moved toward certain ethical
goals before the economic crisis—whether those goals involved
green initiatives or corporate responsibility programs—aren’t
giving up their gains. “But if they haven’t done that yet, it gets
3. more difficult to say we’ll spend more money than we have to,”
he says.
“Companies use the term ‘corporate ethics’ to mean many
different things. In many organizations, if not the majority, it
means compliance with a set of legal and minimum standards,
In other organizations, corporate ethics means defining a set of
corporate values that are integral to how they go about
business,: says Kirk O. Hanson, executive director of the
Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
Either way, chief information officers have an opportunity to
show how technology can further their companies’ ethics
objectives.
“Policy decisions at the very senior level need to the sensitivity
that IT experts can bring to the table,” Hanson says. “CIOs will
know the capabilities of IT and be able to contribute that to
corporate strategy. They will also know the misuses of those
capabilities and be able to flag those and prevent the
organization from stepping in scandals.”
Hanson cites a 15-year-old case in which marketing workers at a
large telephone company spent millions of dollars to develop a
list of customers with ties to the Washington area that they
planned to sell to other marketers. In violation of company
policy, they compiled the list using the company’s database of
customers who frequently placed calls to the District of
Columbia.
Executives learned about the list before the marketing
department sold it. IT then developed a system to monitor use
and block future unauthorized access to such information,
Hanson says. However, it came a bit late, since IT should have
developed the application in advance, anticipating the need to
protect the information as well as detect any efforts to breach it.
4. Hanson says IT today can build systems that can screen
potential subcontractors and vendors to see if they share certain
values. It’s also possible to create tools that flag contracts
whose costs exceed expectations in ways that suggest bribery or
other improprieties, or set up systems that analyze customer
satisfaction surveys to find evidence of unethical behaviors on
the part of workers.
Meanwhile, companies that put green initiatives at the top of
their ethical concerns can have IT create applications that track
energy consumption to flag anomalies that indicate
inefficiencies or calculate the corporate carbon footprint and
identify ways to reduce it.
“You have to step back a minute and ask, ‘What is the role of
technology around ethics?” says Smith. “Technology can help
from a monitoring, protection, and prevention standpoint in a
lot of ways.” The notion of corporate ethics hasn’t always been
so broad, says Mike Distelhorst, a law professor at Capital
University Law School, a former adjunct professor of business
ethics at the Capital School of Management and Leadership and
former executive director for the university’s Council for
Ethical Leadership. “You’d be hard-pressed to find any
company that doesn’t have a beautiful ethics and compliance
program,” Distelhorst says. “They’re talking about it, and
they’re working it all out in various strategic documents. But
the question is whether they’re actually living by it. Some are,
and clearly some aren’t.”
Regardless of where a company stands in the process, IT leaders
should be ready to contribute, he says.
“These policies are worked out on the ethics and compliance
committees below the board level, and they’re having the CIO
as a key player,” Distelhorst explains. That’s the case at Intel
5. Corp., says the company’s chief information officer, Diane
Bryant.
Intel’s Ethics and Compliance Oversight Committee established
the following five principles for the company and its workers:
Intel should conduct business with honesty and integrity; the
company must follow the letter and spirit of the law; employees
are expected to treat one another fairly; employees should act in
the best interest of Intel and avoid conflicts of interest; and
employees mus protect the company’s assets and reputation.
“Intel’s IT staff builds and maintains the systems that allow the
company to meet its legal and regulatory requirements, such as
those laid out for accounting and governance by the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act,” Bryant says. It also developed applications and a
team of workers to handle document retention, which is crucial
should there be a legal case with electronic discovery requests.
But IT also enables Intel to enforce its own values and not just
meet regulatory requirements, Bryant explains. So there are
applications to help perform rigorous checks on suppliers to
ensure that they have sufficient business continuity plans and
environmental sustainability plans, as well as ethical stances
that match Intel’s own. IT has also delivered sophisticated
systems that monitor the power consumption and carbon dioxide
emissions of Intel’s data centers. And it developed systems that
monitor for potential malicious behavior, such as violations of
access management rights or the public release of Intel’s
intellectual property.
“We put solutions in place that help protect Intel’s five
principles,” Bryant says.
Few companies are that advanced in their use of technology to
further an ethical agenda. “Companies recognize that they have
to be on record as being committed, but they’re not yet as
6. convinced that they have to manage it like other parts of their
business,” Hanson explains.
But when companies do decide to move in that direction, that’s
when chief information officers can shine, offering ideas on
what metrics to use and what to measure.
“That’s where IT can be a real leader,” Hanson says, “since they
know what can be measured and captured.”
What are the two meanings of “corporate ethics” in
organizations today? What does each definition imply for IT
practices? How does the economic environment affect this?
How does IT provide more opportunities for difficult ethic
issues to arise? How does IT help address those opportunities?
Use examples from the case to justify your answer.
Should organizations pursue high ethical standards regardless
(or in spite of) their bottom-line impact? Or should they limit
themselves to those scenarios where “good ethics make for good
business”?
