Rough Draft
Growing up, I can say my childhood was awesome. I had a wonderful family and great friends. My grandparents owned a farm, so there were always fun things to do, we also had plenty of free time to play. About a mile from my family’s farm was woods that resemble a forest, it was large and had tall trees. The woods, however, had clear paths, so people went there for jogging and relaxation. For my siblings, friends and myself, this was where we often went to ride our bicycles and raced each other. This was a place that I formed a good memory with nature because of its beauty. Apart from the trees, there were other living creatures like birds, squirrels and butterflies and this often made the place a sanctuary for our games due to the different sounds the birds made.
As I grew up, the area where I once lived and loved became populated and were bought by land developers eventually, all the trees were cut down. Where there used to be a place where my imagination could run wild and so filled with life now seems so rocky, congested and full of garbage and damp sites. At first, we did not notice a major difference, but all this changed when the rainy season came. Floods became uncontrollable; the wind blew without anything to block it and therefore destroyed a lot of things. The weather patterns have also been affected making the amount of rain decrease, and also the garbage and smoke have affected people’s health. This had me thinking about the environment we live in.
In conclusion, through the educational system, I was able to learn about the different ways in which the environment is often tarnished. Among them is deforestation, water pollution in rivers and the ocean. Lastly, air pollution thought our carbon emissions. There are also many preventive measures that can be taken to make sure that extreme pollution does not occur laws and regulations that will help with combating those that contribute to environmental destruction. This can assist in preventing extreme weather conditions like flooding and acidic rain which is caused by air pollution and deforestation. For me, I arrived at my ecological identity through has risen six-tenth of a degree within the last 20 years and the population has increased by 1.7 people (Associate Press, 2014). With ga

There is always a presence of uncertainty among human beings regarding safety; however, there is a lack of evidence concerning their harm. GMOs do not have adverse environmental effects as well as they possess little chemicals as they utilize low amounts of pesticides (National Academies of Sciences and Medicine (U.S.), 2016). There could be a presence of vario.

Again, the US should consider committing itself to the agreement since it is made to strengthen the responses of the world to the threats that come as a result of adverse changes of climate through development of favorable or world temperature rise in the century, for the universe to experience a 2 degree Celsius reduction in the areas that are industrialized. The states as a whole ought to develop distinct efforts to assure that countries experience a 2 degree Celsius temperature decrease according to the Paris agreement. The deal is essential in the sense that it will strengthen the ability of nations to combat the results caused by changes in climate as it noticed that it is changing each year.

We experience global warming resulting from constant pollution of air and elevated industrialization by numerous nations around the globe. As days pass, more industries are built, and no mechanism is established to prevent the polluted air from going into the atmosphere. Resources of water have been affected as a result of global warming, leading to irrigation supplies decline. This occurs because of mountain snowpack loss hence the drop in water amounts for irrigation. Nevertheless, underground water is contaminated by global warming resulting in the death of different species living in the water. Furthermore, at a given period, there will be a low production of power due to disruption of sources of power supply. This will be as a result of shrinking glaciers in the mountain. Recreational points will also be affected as a result of snowpack reduction resulted from constant atmosp ...

My Energy use for the entire day
When I wake up in the morning, the following are ways through which I use energy until such a time when I retire to bed:
· Lighting the room that consumes about 8% of the energy.
· Cooking using an electric oven that consumes 14% of the energy and other time use gas cookers.
· The refrigerator that remains on throughout consumes about 18% of the energy.
· Cooling and heating of the water using dispensers and also microwave that consumes about 10% of the energy.
· Dishwashing that uses about 6% of the energy.
· Washing and drying of the clothes that uses 18% of energy.
· Fueling of the car using petrol to go out for the shopping and other activities of interest to me that uses 20% of energy.
· Use of the laptop to do research and other assignments that uses 2% of energy.
· TV and DVDs use 4% of the energy.
Considering different ways that I do use energy, some of them pose a potential adverse effect on the climate change such as carbon emission from petrol fuels. Additionally, sources of the energy that is used are not renewable and considering some of the machines that I use such as washers and dryers, refrigerators and electric cookers, it means that I am one of the people that contribute climate change and therefore, there is need to innovatively consider strategies that I need to in place to reduce energy consumption which would go along way in minimizing negative that I cause to the environment. To deeply address concerns of the climate change in the wider context, I will thoroughly reflect on the week 2, 3, 6, 9, 10 and 11 which address various issues that relate to environmental communication.
Reflection on Energy on use and its integration to climate change and also environmental communication.
In the earlier section, I have identified various through which is use energy when I wake up unto when I retire to sleep. It is equivocal that some of the ways through which I used energy have been introduced after the industrial revolution and even more machines are being introduced which uses fossils fuels which are continually causing climate changes. For example, washing machines and dry cleaners and vehicles are some of the machines which contribute emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that have an adverse effect on the environment. From my personal experiences and upon reflection of the material that I have covered for the past weeks, there are 8 core concepts and ideas that require attention in the resolve to address climate change and revamp environmental communication. These ideas and concepts are as discussed below:

Method of energy production
A number of energy production methods are currently used in the production of electricity and other forms of energy. The following paper will be assessing fossil fuels; with coal being the main method of energy production considered. The role of coal in the production of global electricity has been evidently seen, with coal alone providing a total of 37% world’s electricity. For coal to produce electricity, it is first of all mined and taken to the coal plants where its size is reduced so as to increase the surface area for combustion to take place quickly. The burnt coal is then taken to a boiler, which creates steam that is ultimately used in driving turbines, hence, generating electricity.
Coal has a number of significant health risks; it has been associated with emission of a number of gases, which are harmful to the existence of humans. Coal has mostly been associated with the production of large amounts of carbon dioxide, a significant greenhouse gas which takes a long time to be phased out completely from the atmosphere. Other than carbon dioxide which affects human health indirectly through the impacts of global warming and climate change, coal also produces gases such as mercury and arsenic, which are important health hazards. Other toxins emitted from coal power plants include lead, cadmium, chromium, furans, nickel, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde and dioxins, among many others. Due to these pollutants, coal power production has been associated with a number of health risks, including, cancer, kidney problems, lung issues, problems in the respiratory and the nervous system. Memory, behavior and learning are also at risk due to these method of energy production (Kampa & Castanas, 2008).
To reduce the above stated health impacts, there is need for coal power plants to employ clean coal technologies. There are a number of these technologies and one best which would significantly reduce the impact of the above risks is the management of wastes from coal. Coal itself has a number of wastes which in most occasions appear as emissions. There is need to employ coal cleaning as a method used to reduce emissions when coal is burnt. Other methods of managing wastes include flue gas desulfurization, gasification, and sequestration, use of ultra clean coal and use of low NOx burners. All these perform an important role in reducing the health impacts of coal combustion. Managing wastes from the power plants is an excellent method as it ensures most of the health hazards have been dealt with before the combustion process allows them into the atmosphere. This is also a preventative ...

Introduction: What is currently standing in my way of achieving these goals?I intend to do is a complete turnaround and modification of behavior and perspective in how to be better in leadership. One of the first crucial changes involves changing my habits and specifically ensuring that I am well informed on issues that affect the individuals under my leadership. This is in line with opening communication more and avoiding seclusion and being alone as it is the role of a leader to be always communicating or around his followers at most times. More crucial is to change how I conduct decision making and implement more logical and practical consideration to every situation as it is always good to find an advantage for everybody. To lead the mission to a fruitful conclusion, a leader must establish priorities and utilize the talents, creativity, resources and energy of his followers, generally imperfect individuals, and empower them to rise to and occasionally beyond their previously assumed potential. Great leaders establish a plan, a map to help them organize and ensure they have an appropriate and effective team in place, clearly communicate the plan to and lead their followers to the destination (Jackson, 2012)
Personal values: Needless to say, “all leaders, all human beings, have values. Values are beliefs that represent an individual’s ideas about what is right, good or desirable (Robbins, S. P. & Judge T. A., 2011, p. 144). My philosophy on leadership is founded on my collective life experiences, reflections, successes, and failures. I see a great correlation in terms of how leaders and followers come to meet and get a way forward. As such, I should express more respect for the leaders and followers that are able to listen and interact with me as it shows they support some of my opinions in terms of strength through relationships. I intend to essentially align and try to use my values as a guideline in everything I participate in and everything I say in my work, my relationships and in my family. Also, it is the nature of humans to make errors once in a while but not too often. As such, it is important to be more compassionate and understanding in order to provide an opportunity for them and me to learn from it as their failures are my failures. The manner in which contribution is usually provided is at times not appreciated and as a leader it is crucial to recognize efforts made in a team work setting.
What do I want to make out of my life? This requires a clear vision in order for it to be implemented. This means that I have to lay own my agenda and goals in order to be more accurate in achieving the overall development and growth. This should be in line with my work ethic and beliefs in order for it to be effective and more professional. This would provide me .

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Serial murderer – an introduction
The crime of manslaughter has been known for a long time, to be specifically the early 1600’s but the initial case of a serial murderer was in the year 1888, named, Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated five prostitutes in the East London. Field experts have stated that at any time, the United States has around 50 active serial murderers, owing to the fact that arroba the year multiple homicides have occurred. Now the question arises, who is a serial killer?
A person possessing a specific emotional drive to kill mercilessly is termed as a serial murderer. These murders, killings, manslaughters, or homicides are generally done in a different way that distinguishes one serial murderer from another. The killer often has a sign that they are distinguished with. Serial murderers are kept in the page as being mass- slayers. The only difference being that serial murderers do not naturally kill the way mass murderers/ slayers do, i.e. mass slayers don’t leave breaks in committing the merciless murders. On the other hand, serial murderers tend to have a distinct feature that reflects the fact that they are murderers with a psychotic overdrive (Ellens, 2011).
Jeffrey Dahmer
Nearly 25 years ago, one of America’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer, a paedophile, and a cannibal, was confronted, attacked and mercilessly slayed while cleaning the bathroom of a prison. His span of crime ranged from June 18, 1978 till July 19, 1991.
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial murderer and a sex criminal who brutally raped and then killed 17 men and boys between the years 1978 to 1991. Several of those later homicides consisted of preservation of several body parts of the victims, necrophilia and cannibalism. Though he was initially diagnosed with several mental diseases like borderline personality disorder, a psychotic disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legitimately stable at his probation.
He was sentenced for fifteen terms of life custody on February 15, 1992 for the fifteen of the sixteen homicides that he had committed in Wisconsin. Later, he was condemned to a sixteenth term of life custody for an additional slaughter in 1978 in Ohio. Dahmer was crushed to death by Christopher Scarver On November 28th, 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution (Martens, 2011).
Jeffery’s move into criminality- early years
It is reported by witnesses that as an infant, Dahmer was deprived of attention and love that a child expects from his parents. It is also reported that his mother was identified as a stressed, covetous, and argumentative lady who often quarrelled with her husband and their neighbours. As Dahmer entered the first grade, his mother .

1. Audience for webinar
The audience for the webinar is divided into three age groups. The school going students are the audience. First audience group is the middle child, the second audience group is early childhood and the third group is early adolescence forth is emerging adults. The webinar content will be highly useful because it will educate the audience about the sexuality. The sexual harassments, teenage pregnancy, and many more issues are associated with it, so there is the necessity for such type of education. The webinar content will be characterized specifically according to each age group. The middle childhood and early adolescence need some specific and limited awareness but the adolescence and emerging adults need the detailed awareness.
2. Intended Focus
The webinar focus is on that audience which doesn’t need the higher consideration of the webinar topic. There is a need to educate immature children, teenagers and adults about sexuality. It’s all about creating awareness. Today the world is modernized. The difference between male and female doesn’t matter. The co-education system created a lot of issues along its benefits. There is need to educate the students including girl and boys so they can avoid all bad activities which can lead them towards destruction. Sexuality is not all about the willingness of two people but it sometimes happened in terms of harassments.
The focus is based on the education of immature younger and teenager students who are living in the global world, studying in co-education. Parents are not advising them about the fact that they should avoid such type of relationships, predict the harassments and prevent themselves for being victimized. So, the major focus is to provide awareness to them so they can prevent all that approaches and secure themselves. The webinar focused the school educational system in which such type of awareness sessions are necessary. It has many benefits and our children can take decisions with complete consideration of good and bad.
3. Research Into Webinar Topic
The webinar topic is “Sexuality education in schools”. In recent past years, there are many issues which are get promoted without any awareness and education about sexuality. Entire families are facing a different kind of issues (Shirai, Tsujimura, Abdelhamed, & Horie, 2018). Some families children faced sexual harassments, some victimized by a rapist, some faced the teenage pregnancy, and many facing the diseases which are prevailing with sexual relationships. Sexuality education is necessary, it can eliminate the fantasy factor in which our teenager is living (Breuner, Mattson, & Health., 2016). Innocent adolescence is not aware that how much it could destroy them. How someone can make them victim without there any type of notice and awareness. In innocence and unawareness lot of children f.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Summary of teaching plan
Title: Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Overview
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal and vaginal sexual activities. STDs are very common especially among sexually active teenagers and a number of them don’t have the symptoms making it hard to tell if one has contacted one. STDs are very dangerous to one’s health however, it can be detected when one is tested and majority of them have a cure (Bouchery, Harwood, and Brewer, 2014). STDs are preventable with abstinence and safe sexual practices; one is likely not to contract the disease. Examples of the STDs are: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV and AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, scabies, syphilis and trichomoniais (Stingler, Neusel, and Perry, 2013).
Objectives
1. To help the teenagers understand what STDs are as well as ways one can contract them
2. To teach the teenagers some of the preventive measures of contracting STDs.
3. To educate the teenagers on measures on should take incase exposed to an environment one is likely to contract STDs
4. To help the teenagers differentiate the myths from the facts regarding STDs
Materials
Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts, Graphic power point presentations
STD pamphlets, Writing materials: Pens and Plain papers, Teacher’s laptop, overhead screen
Estimated cost: Overhead screen will be offered by the church, additional materials needed about $45-$80
Directions
The learning sessions was grouped into four different sessions lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. In the first session, it was purely teaching session where I addressed all the objectives in a classroom setting and the teenagers were allowed to take notes. Teaching was enhanced with graphic power points to help create a visual understanding of the different concepts put across. The second session on the other hand was purely audio visual where the teenagers were allowed to view different Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts expounding on sexually, transmitted disease. The audio-visual session also addressed all the objectives just as the case was in the classroom set up in session one.
The third session was an open forum where the teenagers were allowed to ask questions, seek clarification on different issues or add more insight on concept learned. This session was an interactive one where all disturbing questions was addressed. The end of this session was marked by satisfactory response to all questions and insight brought forward by both the teacher and the teenagers.
The fourth and final session was an examination setup where each of the participants were given a quick test to test their understanding for the concepts learnt. Those who performed exemplary were awarded certificates and gifts and the whole were issued pa.

Running head: SETTING UP RESEARCH
1 Chapter 6 Methods of Measuring Behavior
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS CHAPTER:
· • The use of different methods of measuring behavior and collecting data
· • What a test is
· • How different types of tests are designed to assess different types of behavior
· • The use of achievement tests in the behavioral and social sciences
· • The design of multiple-choice items
· • How to do an item analysis
· • The application of attitude scales
· • The difference between Thurstone and Likert attitude scales
In Chapter 5, you got a healthy dose of the theoretical issues that provide the foundation for the science of measurement, why measurement is crucial to the research process, how reliability and validity are defined, and how each of these can be established.
In this chapter, you will begin learning about the application of some of these principles as you read about different methods that can be used to measure behavior, including the ubiquitous test, the questionnaire, the interview, and other techniques.
As you read this chapter, keep several things in mind. Your foremost concern in deciding what method you will use to measure the behavior of interest should be whether the tool you intend to use is a reliable and valid one. This is equally true for the best-designed test and for the most informal-appearing interview. If your test does not “work,” then virtually nothing else will.
Second, the way in which you ask your question will determine the way in which you go about measuring the variables that interest you. If you want to know about how people feel toward a particular issue, then you are talking about attitudinal scales. If you want to know how much information people have about a particular subject, then you are talking about an achievement test or some other measure of knowledge. The focus of a study (such as the effects of unemployment on self-esteem) might be the same, whether you measure attitude or achievement, but what you use to assess your outcome variable depends on the question you ask. You need to decide the intent of your research activity, which in turn reflects your original research question and hypothesis.
Third, really efficient researchers are fully onboard for using whatever method helps them answer the questions that are being asked. This might include a mixed-methods model where one aspect of a research program might include qualitative methods while another might include qualitative methods (see Chapter 10). As research questions and their associated hypotheses become more intricate and complex, the creative side of using a particular research method correctly becomes more important.
Finally, keep in mind that methods vary widely in the time it takes to learn how to use them, in the measurement process itself, and in what you can do with the information once you have collected it. For example, an interview might be appropriate to determine how teachers feel about chang.

NP5. March 22, 2020
NP6. Introduction
NP7. This paper will analyze the question, would removing the protected class designation on 'sex' make a more robust, more competitive workforce, by equalizing the playing the field for men and women. 8. Addressing the question will involve defining and applying moral imagination, moral courage, Dr. Laura's Three Prerequisites for Assigning Moral Credit of Culpability, Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, Intersecting Circle's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Model, Strict Liability Theory, Kohlberg's Moral Development Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
NP9. EEOC Laws and Protected Classes
NP10. Protected classes are the groups protected from employment discrimination by law. 11. These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive.
NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination
NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen.
The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster.
As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used.
One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

Article I Journal Title: Achieving consumer trust on Twitter via CSR communication
The research seeks to establish means that can be used by companies to relay information on corporate social responsibility on social media platforms particularly twitter in an effective manner. It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned.
The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers.
Research Questions
i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives?
ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective?
iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations?
Hypothesis
The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication.
Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders.

Self-Injurious Behavior
For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved.
Article 1
Overview
The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB.
Subjects and setting
The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room.
Design and results
Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Abstract
The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them.
Introduction
The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations.
History
In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy.
How is the model implemented?
TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST.

Abstract
Many organizations and enterprises have adopted the practice of storage of data in the cloud as it is fast, efficient and reliable. It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

Introduction: What is currently standing in my way of achieving these goals?I intend to do is a complete turnaround and modification of behavior and perspective in how to be better in leadership. One of the first crucial changes involves changing my habits and specifically ensuring that I am well informed on issues that affect the individuals under my leadership. This is in line with opening communication more and avoiding seclusion and being alone as it is the role of a leader to be always communicating or around his followers at most times. More crucial is to change how I conduct decision making and implement more logical and practical consideration to every situation as it is always good to find an advantage for everybody. To lead the mission to a fruitful conclusion, a leader must establish priorities and utilize the talents, creativity, resources and energy of his followers, generally imperfect individuals, and empower them to rise to and occasionally beyond their previously assumed potential. Great leaders establish a plan, a map to help them organize and ensure they have an appropriate and effective team in place, clearly communicate the plan to and lead their followers to the destination (Jackson, 2012)
Personal values: Needless to say, “all leaders, all human beings, have values. Values are beliefs that represent an individual’s ideas about what is right, good or desirable (Robbins, S. P. & Judge T. A., 2011, p. 144). My philosophy on leadership is founded on my collective life experiences, reflections, successes, and failures. I see a great correlation in terms of how leaders and followers come to meet and get a way forward. As such, I should express more respect for the leaders and followers that are able to listen and interact with me as it shows they support some of my opinions in terms of strength through relationships. I intend to essentially align and try to use my values as a guideline in everything I participate in and everything I say in my work, my relationships and in my family. Also, it is the nature of humans to make errors once in a while but not too often. As such, it is important to be more compassionate and understanding in order to provide an opportunity for them and me to learn from it as their failures are my failures. The manner in which contribution is usually provided is at times not appreciated and as a leader it is crucial to recognize efforts made in a team work setting.
What do I want to make out of my life? This requires a clear vision in order for it to be implemented. This means that I have to lay own my agenda and goals in order to be more accurate in achieving the overall development and growth. This should be in line with my work ethic and beliefs in order for it to be effective and more professional. This would provide me .

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Serial murderer – an introduction
The crime of manslaughter has been known for a long time, to be specifically the early 1600’s but the initial case of a serial murderer was in the year 1888, named, Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated five prostitutes in the East London. Field experts have stated that at any time, the United States has around 50 active serial murderers, owing to the fact that arroba the year multiple homicides have occurred. Now the question arises, who is a serial killer?
A person possessing a specific emotional drive to kill mercilessly is termed as a serial murderer. These murders, killings, manslaughters, or homicides are generally done in a different way that distinguishes one serial murderer from another. The killer often has a sign that they are distinguished with. Serial murderers are kept in the page as being mass- slayers. The only difference being that serial murderers do not naturally kill the way mass murderers/ slayers do, i.e. mass slayers don’t leave breaks in committing the merciless murders. On the other hand, serial murderers tend to have a distinct feature that reflects the fact that they are murderers with a psychotic overdrive (Ellens, 2011).
Jeffrey Dahmer
Nearly 25 years ago, one of America’s most infamous serial murderers, Jeffrey Dahmer, a paedophile, and a cannibal, was confronted, attacked and mercilessly slayed while cleaning the bathroom of a prison. His span of crime ranged from June 18, 1978 till July 19, 1991.
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial murderer and a sex criminal who brutally raped and then killed 17 men and boys between the years 1978 to 1991. Several of those later homicides consisted of preservation of several body parts of the victims, necrophilia and cannibalism. Though he was initially diagnosed with several mental diseases like borderline personality disorder, a psychotic disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder, Dahmer was found to be legitimately stable at his probation.
He was sentenced for fifteen terms of life custody on February 15, 1992 for the fifteen of the sixteen homicides that he had committed in Wisconsin. Later, he was condemned to a sixteenth term of life custody for an additional slaughter in 1978 in Ohio. Dahmer was crushed to death by Christopher Scarver On November 28th, 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution (Martens, 2011).
Jeffery’s move into criminality- early years
It is reported by witnesses that as an infant, Dahmer was deprived of attention and love that a child expects from his parents. It is also reported that his mother was identified as a stressed, covetous, and argumentative lady who often quarrelled with her husband and their neighbours. As Dahmer entered the first grade, his mother .

1. Audience for webinar
The audience for the webinar is divided into three age groups. The school going students are the audience. First audience group is the middle child, the second audience group is early childhood and the third group is early adolescence forth is emerging adults. The webinar content will be highly useful because it will educate the audience about the sexuality. The sexual harassments, teenage pregnancy, and many more issues are associated with it, so there is the necessity for such type of education. The webinar content will be characterized specifically according to each age group. The middle childhood and early adolescence need some specific and limited awareness but the adolescence and emerging adults need the detailed awareness.
2. Intended Focus
The webinar focus is on that audience which doesn’t need the higher consideration of the webinar topic. There is a need to educate immature children, teenagers and adults about sexuality. It’s all about creating awareness. Today the world is modernized. The difference between male and female doesn’t matter. The co-education system created a lot of issues along its benefits. There is need to educate the students including girl and boys so they can avoid all bad activities which can lead them towards destruction. Sexuality is not all about the willingness of two people but it sometimes happened in terms of harassments.
The focus is based on the education of immature younger and teenager students who are living in the global world, studying in co-education. Parents are not advising them about the fact that they should avoid such type of relationships, predict the harassments and prevent themselves for being victimized. So, the major focus is to provide awareness to them so they can prevent all that approaches and secure themselves. The webinar focused the school educational system in which such type of awareness sessions are necessary. It has many benefits and our children can take decisions with complete consideration of good and bad.
3. Research Into Webinar Topic
The webinar topic is “Sexuality education in schools”. In recent past years, there are many issues which are get promoted without any awareness and education about sexuality. Entire families are facing a different kind of issues (Shirai, Tsujimura, Abdelhamed, & Horie, 2018). Some families children faced sexual harassments, some victimized by a rapist, some faced the teenage pregnancy, and many facing the diseases which are prevailing with sexual relationships. Sexuality education is necessary, it can eliminate the fantasy factor in which our teenager is living (Breuner, Mattson, & Health., 2016). Innocent adolescence is not aware that how much it could destroy them. How someone can make them victim without there any type of notice and awareness. In innocence and unawareness lot of children f.

Summary of teaching plan
Title: Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Overview
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one person to another during oral, anal and vaginal sexual activities. STDs are very common especially among sexually active teenagers and a number of them don’t have the symptoms making it hard to tell if one has contacted one. STDs are very dangerous to one’s health however, it can be detected when one is tested and majority of them have a cure (Bouchery, Harwood, and Brewer, 2014). STDs are preventable with abstinence and safe sexual practices; one is likely not to contract the disease. Examples of the STDs are: chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV and AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, scabies, syphilis and trichomoniais (Stingler, Neusel, and Perry, 2013).
Objectives
1. To help the teenagers understand what STDs are as well as ways one can contract them
2. To teach the teenagers some of the preventive measures of contracting STDs.
3. To educate the teenagers on measures on should take incase exposed to an environment one is likely to contract STDs
4. To help the teenagers differentiate the myths from the facts regarding STDs
Materials
Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts, Graphic power point presentations
STD pamphlets, Writing materials: Pens and Plain papers, Teacher’s laptop, overhead screen
Estimated cost: Overhead screen will be offered by the church, additional materials needed about $45-$80
Directions
The learning sessions was grouped into four different sessions lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. In the first session, it was purely teaching session where I addressed all the objectives in a classroom setting and the teenagers were allowed to take notes. Teaching was enhanced with graphic power points to help create a visual understanding of the different concepts put across. The second session on the other hand was purely audio visual where the teenagers were allowed to view different Video clips featuring adults and teenage experts expounding on sexually, transmitted disease. The audio-visual session also addressed all the objectives just as the case was in the classroom set up in session one.
The third session was an open forum where the teenagers were allowed to ask questions, seek clarification on different issues or add more insight on concept learned. This session was an interactive one where all disturbing questions was addressed. The end of this session was marked by satisfactory response to all questions and insight brought forward by both the teacher and the teenagers.

1 Chapter 6 Methods of Measuring Behavior
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS CHAPTER:
· • The use of different methods of measuring behavior and collecting data
· • What a test is
· • How different types of tests are designed to assess different types of behavior
· • The use of achievement tests in the behavioral and social sciences
· • The design of multiple-choice items
· • How to do an item analysis
· • The application of attitude scales
· • The difference between Thurstone and Likert attitude scales
In Chapter 5, you got a healthy dose of the theoretical issues that provide the foundation for the science of measurement, why measurement is crucial to the research process, how reliability and validity are defined, and how each of these can be established.
In this chapter, you will begin learning about the application of some of these principles as you read about different methods that can be used to measure behavior, including the ubiquitous test, the questionnaire, the interview, and other techniques.
As you read this chapter, keep several things in mind. Your foremost concern in deciding what method you will use to measure the behavior of interest should be whether the tool you intend to use is a reliable and valid one. This is equally true for the best-designed test and for the most informal-appearing interview. If your test does not “work,” then virtually nothing else will.
Second, the way in which you ask your question will determine the way in which you go about measuring the variables that interest you. If you want to know about how people feel toward a particular issue, then you are talking about attitudinal scales. If you want to know how much information people have about a particular subject, then you are talking about an achievement test or some other measure of knowledge. The focus of a study (such as the effects of unemployment on self-esteem) might be the same, whether you measure attitude or achievement, but what you use to assess your outcome variable depends on the question you ask. You need to decide the intent of your research activity, which in turn reflects your original research question and hypothesis.
Third, really efficient researchers are fully onboard for using whatever method helps them answer the questions that are being asked. This might include a mixed-methods model where one aspect of a research program might include qualitative methods while another might include qualitative methods (see Chapter 10). As research questions and their associated hypotheses become more intricate and complex, the creative side of using a particular research method correctly becomes more important.
Finally, keep in mind that methods vary widely in the time it takes to learn how to use them, in the measurement process itself, and in what you can do with the information once you have collected it. For example, an interview might be appropriate to determine how teachers feel about chang.

NP5. March 22, 2020
NP6. Introduction
NP7. This paper will analyze the question, would removing the protected class designation on 'sex' make a more robust, more competitive workforce, by equalizing the playing the field for men and women. 8. Addressing the question will involve defining and applying moral imagination, moral courage, Dr. Laura's Three Prerequisites for Assigning Moral Credit of Culpability, Utilitarianism, Kantian Ethics, Intersecting Circle's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Model, Strict Liability Theory, Kohlberg's Moral Development Model, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Model, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
NP9. EEOC Laws and Protected Classes
NP10. Protected classes are the groups protected from employment discrimination by law. 11. These groups include men and women based on sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps” 11a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 12. The designation of a protected class requires employers to abide by the EEOC Laws. 13. The EEOC Laws are “five laws which prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, physical handicap and mental handicap in any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment” 13a. (NARA, 2020, para 16). 14. The applicable laws were designed to “correct a history of unfavorable treatment of women and minority group members” 14a. (NARA, 2020, para 36). 15. Although men and women cannot be discriminated against based on sex, the protected class of sex was designed to prevent discrimination of women in the workplace. 16. The analysis throughout the paper will focus on this fact, and decide if removing sex as a protected class will make the workforce more competitive.
NP17. Moral Courage and Moral Imagination
NP18. Looking at removing a protected class will involve looking at the question from multiple perspectives, this requires moral imagination. 19. Biasucci, Hernandez, and Prentice, 19a. (2020, para 1) say, "Moral imagination, according to philosopher Mark Johnson, means envisioning the full range of possibilities in a particular situation in order to solve an ethical challenge." 20. One view is that the workforce is handing out jobs to women over men, for fear of discriminating accusations. 21. If sex is no longer a protected class, then companies would be able to select the qualified individual without fear of reprisal. 22. Another way of looking at the issue is from the actual definition of protected classes. 23. Sex is a protected class, meaning that both men and women are technically protected from discrimination. 24. From this viewpoint, companies could be accused by both men and women if they feel they employers actively discriminated against them. 25. .

Combatting Senior Isolation with Volunteerism
Senior isolation is a social issue that many of our senior citizens face today. It is estimated that 40% of our senior population suffers from senior isolation. Senior isolation in the elderly has been linked to an increase in illnesses, mortality, depression, elder abuse and a higher incidence of the elderly needing long term care services. It is one of the largest risks to our aging senior’s health and well-being. Volunteer work can help combat senior isolation and have a positive impact on a senior’s health. Senior citizens make up 15.2 percent of the total population of the United States according to the 2016 census bureau and it is reported that by 2060 the number of senior citizens will double. Senior volunteer programs that promote involvement can assist in combating isolation and the negative health consequences while keeping our seniors healthy and active within their communities.
Senior Corps is an organization that currently engages roughly 220,000 older adults between the ages of 55 and above within America in service to their communities through its Foster Grandparent, Senior companion and RSVP programs according to Nationalservice.gov. Utilizing the strengths and assets of our seniors today not only keeps our seniors from isolation but also benefits the communities in which they live. The primary focus of Senior corps is to utilize the strengths, skills and attributes of seniors 55 and above to help tutor, mentor, care for and volunteer to meet the needs of others within their community while also having mutually positive benefits to the health and wellness of the aging senior population. Senior Corp programs not only improve the lives of those served but also the lives of the senior volunteers. Service learning opportunities within Senior Corps could produce beneficial outcomes for the American communities that Senior Corps volunteers, the partnering universities and the student service learners reside. The collegiate service learning students can play an instrumental role in increasing awareness with marketing strategies including recruitment events and informative meetings to promote participation, and enrollment into the programs. Creating and implementing marketing plans while utilizing their technology skills and social media platforms, collegiate service learners can assist Senior Corps in increasing the number of senior volunteers enrolled within each of the programs. Intergenerational learning can promote valuable relationships and partnerships that help bridge the generation gap. Service learners in intergeneration settings report “positive outcomes related to a better understanding of the older generation, enjoyment of interacting with the elders, appreciation of the life exp.

The American Red Cross is an organization with immeasurable commitment to provision of compassionate care to people who are in need in America. As such, this is their mission and their budget epitomizes this. The largest chunk of the income that is mainly received from grants from governments and organizations as well as donations from organizations is spent on humanitarian activities. For the year 2018, 91.85% of the $0.5 billion that was raised from the aforementioned sources was used in humanitarian activities. These included helping people who needed care in in disasters in the shortest notice, ensuring and maintaining community health especially by being in the frontline to deliver blood to patients who needed it in our health facilities. The organization recognizes the importance of mitigating disasters before they happen and therefore set aside $1,659,000 that was used to keep teams ready to stop a disaster before it happened or minimize injury or loss of life as much as possible. This is in line with the organizations principle of being proactive rather than react to disasters when they happen.
The American Red Cross has a total 12,534 permanent employees spread all over the nation to offer humanitarian help whenever and wherever it is needed (Hutchinson, 2018). These are selfless individuals who are always risking their lives to save others’. The organization therefore aims at giving the employees the best working conditions given the circumstances and making sure that they stay safe as much as possible while delivering help. As such, American Red Cross buys the best equipment and vehicles to help the employees as well as volunteers in humanitarian work to get to sites of disasters in the shortest time possible and safely. This is why the company has invested in top notch ambulances that have lifesaving equipment that may be used by the employees to save lives in an occurrence of a disaster.
As indicated above, funds that are used by the organization to finance its operations as well as management are received from state and federal government, and international organizations as grants or from the public as donations. Often times, the funders wish to know how the funds that they give out the cause of saving human lives through humanitarian assistance is used (Schnupp & Möller 2018). The organization therefore posts its official budget on its official website where it can be accessed by all people. In the last 5 years, the donations have been on the rise and this is a good indicator that the people who fund the organizations are happy about how the money they give to it is being used.
One of the key strengths in the company is the manner in which the employees relate with each other and the organization at large. The organization appreciates the selflessness of the people working there. As such, employee retreats are held.

Article I Journal Title: Achieving consumer trust on Twitter via CSR communication
The research seeks to establish means that can be used by companies to relay information on corporate social responsibility on social media platforms particularly twitter in an effective manner. It suggests that the involvement of the consumers and the consumer’s own processing mechanisms have a very vital role in so far as an evaluation of the trustworthiness of the companies is concerned.
The topic explored is very relevant since we have seen a continuous trend where various organizations are becoming more and more under pressure when it comes to communicating organizational policies and organizational positions as pertains to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Every market segment needs to be informed about the organization’s good intentions as well as actions so as to have an impression that the corporation is trustworthy. This implies that the market demand that their corporations engage them through dialogue. Notably, the existing academic literature does not have empirical research that seeks to examine impact of asymmetric versus symmetric communication strategies to the consumers.
Research Questions
i. Which strategies have corporations used in communication with their stakeholders about social corporate responsibility initiatives?
ii. Which of the two communication strategies, asymmetric communication and symmetric communication is more effective?
iii. What is the role of stakeholder’s personal information processing mechanisms when it comes to evaluation of trustworthiness of corporations?
Hypothesis
The first hypothesis (H1) states: Asymmetric vs. symmetric CSR communication strategies will have differing impacts on consumer trust in the organization. The second hypothesis (H2) states: Consumer trust is higher among the consumers with high involvement (those being a “green” consumer in symmetric communication.
Considering the hypotheses, it clearly emerges that they are closely linked to the study questions. The formulated questions point into integrated communication approach as used in organizations with particular attention being paid to the relevance of the communication approached to corporate social responsibility. They further go on to address and draw parallels between innovative approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric communication techniques and their impacts on the stakeholders. The above are further captured in the hypotheses especially when we look at the consumer concerns about an organization’s initiatives on social corporate responsibility. For instance, scepticism green consumers have on CSR been capture by H2. Generally, green consumers are very much conscious about the environmental impacts of their purchase as we.

Self-Injurious Behavior
For this final assignment a research of self-injurious behavior has been conducted. Self-injurious behavior, also known as SIB, is described an instance of behavior that results in physical injury to a person’s own body. SIB includes head banging, using objects to cut or puncture self, pinching self, consuming inedible substances, vomiting, pulling own hair, sucking, biting, scratching body parts and use of drugs, among others (Yang, 2003). SIB, is usually displayed by individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities. SIB can result in serious injuries and in severe cases even death. According to Yang (2003), the treatment of SIB has become one of the most serious issues for clinicians and other professionals due to the injury, risk, prevalence, and cost involved.
Article 1
Overview
The first article discussed is "Combination of extinction and protective measures in the treatment of severely self-injurious behavior" by Lizen Yang from Behavioral interventions journal. Yang explores and discusses the advantages of using extinction in conjunction with the non-intrusive protective measures to treat SIB. In the study, extinction in combination with non-intrusive protective measures was selected as the intervention strategy to reduce SIB.
Subjects and setting
The study was conducted on two adolescent females with profound mental retardation and physical disabilities at a state facility. Both subjects exhibited self-injurious behavior (SIB) and had been wearing restrains mechanisms for more than two years to prevent injuries. The treatment sessions were conducted in the morning for one of the subjects and in the afternoon for the other subject in a multipurpose 12’ x 13’room in their residential building. The room contained a table, a desk, and three chairs. Fingernail clippers, a pair of scissors, and a bottle of white petroleum jelly were used, since the target behavior for both subjects was scratching. There was a radio playing soft music at a moderate volume during sessions. There also were several audio and visual activity materials available and placed on the table within the participants’ reach at all times during treatment. During sessions, only the therapist and the participant were in the room.
Design and results
Event recording was used to collect data during each 30 minute treatment session. Two hand held counters were used to record the target behavior. In order to constantly analyze data, and monitor the behavior, as well as avoiding possible medical concerns, each treatment session was divided into three 10 minute intervals. Initially a within-subject reversal design was in which baseline (A) and treatment (B) were alternated in an ABAB sequence, but due to frequent and severe self-injuries and for safety reas.

Abstract
The concept of trusted computing has been in existence for a very long time. It has had an influence on security systems and solutions. In this paper, I will explain the history of TCB. Ways to implement trusted base computing. I will also explain some of the barriers and how to bypass them.
Introduction
The trusted computing base contains hardware, firmware and software that are essential in establishing as well as maintaining security. Moreover, it also includes an operating system with all specific system hardware, in-built security control, software and network hardware, (Ranganathan, 2017). When designing a trusted computing base provision such as access control, giving privileges, user authentication support, authorization of particular processes or systems, backing up information and protection against viruses and malware. It is the responsibility of a trusted computing base to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information. It monitors the input and output operations.
History
In December 1985, the United States Department of Defense put out the trusted computing system evaluating criteria that well-defined TCB. TCB can be understood when it performs as a centralized, trusted entity, (Scott-Nash, et al., 2016). The structures that get the uppermost level security accredited and certification have a centralized system design. The TCSEC accepted the view of peer trusted nodes describing them as members of the NTCB which protects the network system including the firmware, software and hardware. This combination is responsible for enforcing a security policy.
How is the model implemented?
TCB contains four security mechanisms, including authentication and identification, auditing, labelling and security policy. In order to understand how TCB is implemented and work. Let’s take the example of a bank—one of the most trusted icons in society today. When we make deposits, the money is recorded and safeguarded. It will be available when we want it back. We hardly consider the security mechanism in the back since we trust the banking system. All the mechanisms of TCB are in place. Before withdrawing money from the account, one is required to identify and authenticate themselves to the teller with the account number and signature. There is also discretionary access control that is who is authorized to withdraw money from the account. There are very few clerical problems since all the transactions that take place are audited. In development, the environment has to enforce the security model. Other concepts that are used when developing TCB include memory protection and handle, (Noorman, et al., 2019). This falls under the NIST requirement for assurance. When implementing TCB, it is essential to ensure that the application meets the basic requirements of NIST.

Abstract
Many organizations and enterprises have adopted the practice of storage of data in the cloud as it is fast, efficient and reliable. It has eliminated the challenge of loss of data and made it easier to retrieve data. Enterprises are therefore able to thrive in the current era where clients require their needs to be met quickly and in their desired timing. However it is faced with the challenge of security, many do not understand their responsibility of making sure that the data is secure. The storage of data in the clouds has decentralized the IT department because in most cases they are not in control of the data due to the ease of access to the various cloud service providers, different departments within an enterprise which have different service providers. The security mechanisms are not comprehensive to cater to all the service providers. Requiring one to use multiple security measures. Hence there exist several loopholes that can be exploited by criminals impairing the steady operations of the victims. Imposing security on the cloud requires that a mechanism is put in place to not only protect but also detect the threats. This will help in planning how to counter react to any possible threat. It does also ensure that there is a study of the trends of such crimes.

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.

Growing up, I can say my childhood was awesome. I had a
wonderful family and great friends. My grandparents owned a
farm, so there were always fun things to do, we also had plenty
of free time to play. About a mile from my family’s farm was
woods that resemble a forest, it was large and had tall trees. The
woods, however, had clear paths, so people went there for
jogging and relaxation. For my siblings, friends and myself, this
was where we often went to ride our bicycles and raced each
other. This was a place that I formed a good memory with
nature because of its beauty. Apart from the trees, there were
other living creatures like birds, squirrels and butterflies and
this often made the place a sanctuary for our games due to the
different sounds the birds made.
As I grew up, the area where I once lived and loved became
populated and were bought by land developers eventually, all

my imagination could run wild and so filled with life now seems
so rocky, congested and full of garbage and damp sites. At first,
we did not notice a major difference, but all this changed when
the rainy season came. Floods became uncontrollable; the wind
blew without anything to block it and therefore destroyed a lot
of things. The weather patterns have also been affected making
the amount of rain decrease, and also the garbage and smoke
have affected people’s health. This had me thinking about the
environment we live in.
In conclusion, through the educational system, I was able to
learn about the different ways in which the environment is often
tarnished. Among them is deforestation, water pollution in
rivers and the ocean. Lastly, air pollution thought our carbon
emissions. There are also many preventive measures that can be
taken to make sure that extreme pollution does not occur laws
and regulations that will help with combating those that
contribute to environmental destruction. This can assist in
preventing extreme weather conditions like flooding and acidic
rain which is caused by air pollution and deforestation. For me,

It is our nature to be resistant to change. There have been a lot
of resistant to GMOs. I support GMOs as I believe they are safe
for human consumption. GMOs are safe. There is always a
presence of uncertainty among human beings regarding safety;
however, there is a lack of evidence concerning their harm.
GMOs do not have adverse environmental effects as well as
they possess little chemicals as they utilize low amounts of
pesticides (National Academies of Sciences and Medicine
(U.S.), 2016). There could be a presence of various risks in
association to a particular gene introduced, however, each crop
under GMO that has a current feature is usually commercialized
GMOs, there have been no valid evident on negative impacts
connected to GMO crops.
3. Before any food produced through GM technology is allowed
into the market, a series of tests have to be carried out. Such
tests are considered essential by the identified authorities as
they assist in determining the safety regarding every current
GM product. These tests make current GM crop associated
varieties as safe to consume as current non-GM associated
varieties which are not usually tested (In Schmitz & In
Kennedy, 2017).
I believe that GMO food must be labeled due to a variety of
reasons. Firstly, GMOs are present in the food whereby food is
considered to be the number one element concerning the
condition regarding human health. Everyone has a right to be
aware of what type of food that they are consuming despite the
safety claims of GMOs as they have a responsibility to decide.
Secondly, there are a variety of studies that reveal some types
of GMOs as being harmful such as glyphosate which causes
diabetes. Moreover, GMO should be labeled because technology
regarding GMO foreign proteins is considered by prominent
world scientists as being unpredictable as well as uncontrollable
and possess unforeseen impacts (Gostin, 2014).
Nonetheless, current research reveals that GMO foods that
utilize heavy herbicides are involved in destroying the
microbiome of the soil as well as minimize the nutritional
content concerning the food and leave a lot of chemical residues
on such food (In Schmitz & In Kennedy, 2017). Therefore, it
means that such GMOs are substantially distinct and they
warrant labeling. In conclusion, GMO foods should be labeled
mainly because they are an element regarding human health thus
GMO labeling health as well as safety issue first.
There are many ways in which GMOs can affect the world
today. GMOs can impact the environment in various ways as
well as humans both in positive and negative ways. GMOs have
led to increase in the utility of herbicides as well as pesticides,
therefore, leaving a lot of chemical residues on crops which is
harmful to consumer intake. GMOs can greatly destroy the
environment through such increased chemicals on the soil.
4. Moreover, GMOs can lead to widespread poor health-related
issues among humans along with violation of both consumer and
farmer rights. GMO can also lead to a healthy community if all
the precautions are carefully taken, with regular and strict
testing before any release of GMO (Knoepfler,
2016). Contamination of farmer seeds by GMO can lead to
increase in economic losses for farmers and the nation at large.
It is therefore essential that the aspect of GMO be reviewed
carefully to avoid future inconveniences. Energy has become
one of the key aspects to consider after climate change. There
are several cases linked to energy in the United States. There
have also been several measures directed to better and establish
more regulations on the issues about the renewable and the non-
renewable energy. Therefore, the government of the United
States should enhance better measures to address national
energy.

FormBottom of Form This would be made possible by
establishing a National Energy Policy. The first step would be
the policy design and evaluation. This would involve the
technical feasibility of the alternative fuels, the available new
technologies and the future involves looking beyond the
engineer estimates and the general availability of particular
fuels and the limited technologies. Secondly, there should be a
focus on the economic modeling approaches. The economy
should be accounted for in the budget and planning for the
National Energy Policy. The cost welfare of each economic
model has to be well detailed to ensure that the best stands out.
Also, an additional strategy should also involve wide-ranging.
Wide-ranging would ensure that there are more basic policies
that would then be used to develop the National Energy Policy
(Walls et. al, 2010). There should include an examination of an
array of cross-cutting policies that have the availability of
combining multiple individual policies. The other major
strategy should include the examination of economic or welfare
costs.
5. The National Energy Policy would oversee an approach that
would generally offer better measures to society. Major
emphasis would be enhanced on the renewable sources of
energy such as the thermal, solar and hydro. A comparison
would also be developed on the other non-renewable sources of
energy such as oil, natural gas, and coal. This would be
enhanced to offer a comparison on the extent of which they
have affected the society (Walls et. al, 2010). Besides, this
would also enhance an emphasis to foresee the future of other
alternatives of energy that would not have the same causes and
effects as the current energy sources. On the other hand, there
would also be several measure on addressing the current energy
issues. This would involve a higher concentration on the
elimination of the non-renewable sources of energy since they
have brought with themselves a lot of limitations to the society.
Also, there also would be a focus on the renewable sources to
ensure that they are far much developed to eliminate the
existing non-renewable resources. The main approaches that
would be involved include energy security. This would mean a
better understanding of the case of foreign oil. The best
measures would be developed to cater for the case of importing
oil especially the non-renewable sources. This would address
the development and establishment of our measures of creating
our dependable energy sources. Other measures would also be
developing our natural gas security (Walls et. al, 2010). This
would include the best efforts to establish products which do
not have much CO2 content as compared to oil. The most
important measure would be approaching the energy sources on
the extent to which they have affected climate change. A
reduction would occur to the energy sources that are highly
contributing to higher levels of global CO2 among other Green
House Gas emissions.
The United States is one of the States that require the Paris
Agreement in the essence of tackling the main problem that has
struck the world, and that is climate change. There are many
reasons why the United States should join the agreement.
6. Climate change is not a limited challenge to specific areas. It is
a global disaster. It has affected every part of the world. Every
country including the United States requires their
implementation and commitment to meet the necessities of
tackling climate change. (Hansen, 2017) The United States
require the Paris Agreement to secure the lives of
the next generations to come. This would be enhanced by
creating a safe place and improve the environment, and that is
why the United States requires the Paris Agreement. The United
States has faced tremendous challenges due to climate change.
Some of the cases involve flooding among the coastal cities due
to storms and high tides. These cases have brought about very
high insurance rates since the communities have become more
vulnerable to disasters that are as a result of climate change.
There have also been hotter and drier cases of weather which
have generally propelled the intensity of wind fires which
among them are closer to people’s homes. Cases of erosion have
indicated that more communities have to relocate. Based on the
Paris Agreement, much of the benefit will be to the Americans
(Hansen, 2017). The many commitments that have been brought
together to a collective decision will be essential for tackling
the United States disasters among other disasters as per the
Paris Agreement. Therefore, the United States requires the Paris
Agreement for its benefits on climate change.
The Paris Agreement has clear guidelines and commitments on
how he involved member states will tackle climate change.
Therefore, in the few years to come and especially in this
21st Century, there will be limited cases of global warming
among other cases of climate change. Some of the best
initiatives that are being taken from the Paris Agreement to
tackle this challenge include the holding of the increasing
global temperatures that are well below 2 0C which will be
mandated above the preindustrial areas (Hansen, 2017). This
will be an effort of limiting the temperature increase to 1.5 0C
above pre-industrial areas. Regulating the temperatures in these
areas would significantly bring an effort to tackling climate
7. change. Also, the Paris Agreement has measures on increasing
the ability to adaptation to the adverse climatic changes. This
would be achieved through fostering resilience with the other
efforts to limit the release of greenhouse gases (Guy et. al,
2017). This is designed to take place in a manner that does not
affect food production. Besides, other efforts by the Paris
Agreement would include resilient climate developments and
the low greenhouse gas emissions, an effort that will be fostered
through making finance flows consistently. Therefore, the Paris
Agreement has better promise that the adverse effects of climate
change would be minimized to a promising level in the
21st century and especially the case of global warming.
Climate change and especially global warming have adverse
effects on water sources. This includes shifting of precipitation
patterns and the disruption of the water cycle. In turn, generates
drought seasons and precipitation events (Guy et. al, 2017).
These cases in general, threaten water sources. President Trump
decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and angered a lot
of people. Some people argue that it is not about the
environment but more about lining their pockets with money,
while others think that the president has made the right decision
by keeping others from stealing our wealth and jobs. I
personally care about human rights and the effects that this
would cause on people around the world. The climate has done
enough damage as far as water, foods, and homes, I’m not sure
whether President Trump made the right
decision by pulling out of the Paris Agreement, but this could
be a threat to the health of children all over the world.

Environmental Experience
Growing up, I can say my childhood was awesome. I had a
wonderful family and great friends. My grandparents owned a
farm, so there were always fun things to do, we also had plenty
of free time to play. About a mile from my family’s farm was
woods that resemble a forest, it was large and had tall trees. The
woods, however, had clear paths, so people went there for
jogging and relaxation. For my siblings, friends and myself, this
was where we often went to ride our bicycles and raced each
other. This was a place that I formed a good memory with
nature because of its beauty. Apart from the trees, there were
other living creatures like birds, squirrels and butterflies and
this often made the place a sanctuary for our games due to the
different sounds the birds made.
As I grew up, the area where I once lived and loved became
populated and were bought by land developers eventually, all
the trees were cut down. Where there used to be a place where
my imagination could run wild and so filled with life now seems
so rocky, congested and full of garbage and damp sites. At first,
we did not notice a major difference, but all this changed when
the rainy season came. Floods became uncontrollable; the wind
blew without anything to block it and therefore destroyed a lot
10. of things. The weather patterns have also been affected making
the amount of rain decrease, and also the garbage and smoke
have affected people’s health. This had me thinking about the
environment we live in.
In conclusion, through the educational system, I was able to
learn about the different ways in which the environment is often
tarnished. Among them is deforestation, water pollution in
rivers and the ocean. Lastly, air pollution thought our carbon
emissions. There are also many preventive measures that can be
taken to make sure that extreme pollution does not occur
(Khopkar, 2014). Among the basic measures is educating people
about pollution and creating laws and regulations that will help
with combating those that contribute to environmental
destruction. This can assist in preventing extreme weather
conditions like flooding and acidic rain which is caused by air
pollution and deforestation. For me, I arrived at my ecological
identity through formal education and experience.

Do you feel that GMOs are safe?
It is our nature to be resistant to change. There have been a lot
of resistant to GMOs. I support GMOs as I believe they are safe
for human consumption. GMOs are safe. There is always a
presence of uncertainty among human beings regarding safety;
11. however, there is a lack of evidence concerning their harm.
GMOs do not have adverse environmental effects as well as
they possess little chemicals as they utilize low amounts of
pesticides (National Academies of Sciences and Medicine
(U.S.), 2016). There could be a presence of various risks in
association to a particular gene introduced, however, each crop
under GMO that has a current feature is usually subjected to a
keen and close examination that makes it safe. Since the first
introduction of commercialized GMOs, there have been no valid
evident on negative impacts connected to GMO crops.
Before any food produced through GM technology is allowed
into the market, a series of tests have to be carried out. Such
tests are considered essential by the identified authorities as
they assist in determining the safety regarding every current
GM product. These tests make current GM crop associated
varieties as safe to consume as current non-GM associated
varieties which are not usually tested (In Schmitz & In
Kennedy, 2017).
Do you believe GMOs in foods should be labeled?
I believe that GMO food must be labeled due to a variety of
reasons. Firstly, GMOs are present in the food whereby food is
considered to be the number one element concerning the
condition regarding human health. Everyone has a right to be
aware of what type of food they are consuming despite the
safety claims of GMOs as they have a responsibility to decide.
Secondly, there are a variety of studies that reveal some types
of GMOs as being harmful such as glyphosate which causes
diabetes. Moreover, GMO should be labeled because technology
regarding GMO foreign proteins is considered by prominent
world scientists as being unpredictable as well as uncontrollable
and possess unforeseen impacts (Gostin, 2014).
Nonetheless, current research reveals that GMO foods that
utilize heavy herbicides are involved in destroying the
microbiome of the soil as well as minimize the nutritional
content concerning the food and leave a lot of chemical residues
on such food (In Schmitz & In Kennedy, 2017). Therefore, it
12. means that such GMOs are substantially distinct and they
warrant labeling. In conclusion, GMO foods should be labeled
mainly because they are an element regarding human health thus
GMO labeling health as well as safety issue first.
Do you see GMOs affecting the world today?
There are many ways in which GMOs can affect the world
today. GMOs can impact the environment in various ways as
well as humans both in positive and negative ways. GMOs have
led to increase in the utility of herbicides as well as pesticides,
therefore, leaving a lot of chemical residues on crops which is
harmful to consumer intake. GMOs can greatly destroy the
environment through such increased chemicals on the soil.
Moreover, GMOs can lead to widespread poor health-related
issues among humans along with violation of both consumer and
farmer rights. GMO can also lead to a healthy community if all
the precautions are carefully taken, with regular and strict
testing before any release of GMO (Knoepfler, 2016).
Contamination of farmer seeds by GMO can lead to increase in
economic losses for farmers and the nation at large. It is
therefore essential that the aspect of GMO be reviewed
carefully to avoid future inconveniences.
