Taking a Stand
Effective leaders have a high degree of self-awareness and know how to leverage their strengths in the workplace. Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others.
As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyone—regardless of temperament type or related preferences—experiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues.

·
What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between
ethical, moral, and legal leadership.
·
Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organization’s mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession.

You will find that you will test some of the skills you are discovering (or rediscovering) through this class in your practicum project. Let's keep the dialogue going to foster an understanding of leadership from the evidence that supports guiding change for a compelling practice problem. I enjoyed reading your examples and seeing the insight you were able to have with regard to leading a change in your organization and doing some self-reflection on what you could have done differently. Understanding and explaining the change process as a self-aware leader helps you internalize these ideas for future projects, especially the impending DNP projects. Remember that you can leverage others’ skills and attributes, which also facilitates the team process.
As a reminder, the following Course Outcomes (COs) guided your learning this week
· CO3. Differentiate attributes of effective leaders and followers in influencing healthcare. (PO 6)
· CO5. Formulate selected strategies for leadership and influence across healthcare systems. (PO 8
This week, we discovered that each practice scholar plays a role in transforming healthcare through self-assessment to identify individual leadership gaps. Evaluating leadership gaps builds tacit knowledge to move us toward professional maturity. You now know that insight into improved systems begins with insight into one's self. Improved systems evolve through the collaboration of individuals who are first committed to improving their own practice. Practice scholars are called to transform the health of our nation. I have no doubt that you'll answer the call by reflecting on your individual and professional commitment to gain insight on needed change within yourself, and your organization. Next week, you'll reflect on emotional intelligence and mindfulness in the workplace. So, let's keep going! Your work is needed to improve patient outcomes!
Week 2
Hello! Last week, we explored how the self-aware practice scholar is influencing the practice of nursing and the health of our nation. The call for transformation to improve patient care delivery requires nurse leaders to reach beyond their intellect to their emotional intelligence. By increasing emotional competence, nurse leaders are raising their awareness to make better choices. Establishing and maintaining relationships are essential to leadership, and all relationships have an emotional component. Emotional ...

Overview
Counseling professionals from different specializations frequently need to work together to provide effective services to students, families, and individual clients. This assignment asks you to address this need in two parts, using what you have learned in this course so far. In Part 1, focus on theory and concepts, creating your own description and evaluation of your specialization, based on the historical and philosophical development of the counseling profession. In Part 2, apply these ideas to a particular case situation, focusing on how a professional in your specialization might collaborate with professionals in other specializations to help meet the needs of the client.
Directions
Part 1
Evaluate the role of your specialization within the field of counseling, beginning with your own description of the field itself, including both the history and the philosophies involved, explaining where your specialization fits, and describing how your specialization might collaborate with one other specialization that you describe. Cite the articles or other sources you use for the basis of your ideas.
In this part, specifically address the following questions:
·
How would you describe the key philosophies of the counseling profession: wellness, resilience, and prevention? Choose a wellness model, and explain how that model impacts the way in which counselors view clients and the concerns brought to counseling, including the kinds of information counselors need to have about their clients.
·
How have those key philosophies developed? Provide a brief historical perspective of the counseling profession focused on the key philosophies of wellness, resilience, and prevention. Include the beliefs and assumptions that support those philosophies.
·
How did your specialization develop? Identify your preferred counseling specialization and describe how the specialization emerged or the profession developed, including the key ideas on which it is based.
·
What other counseling specialization works well in collaboration with your specialization? Briefly explain the history of how this other specialization developed, highlighting the ways in which it complements yours.
Part 2
Now, select one of the following two cases, either Ashley or Paul, as a foundation for illustrating how professionals in different specializations might work together to meet the needs of the client you choose:
Ashley
Ashley, a 12-year-old girl, admits to one of her teachers that she feels very depressed. Her mother has recently remarried, and Ashley is having difficulty adjusting to life with her stepfather and his two children. She is not able to concentrate in class or do her homework.
Paul
Paul, a 32-year-old man, seeks counseling at a commun.
Write a letter to the editor (3–5 double-spaced typed pages) of .docx
Write a letter to the editor (3–5 double-spaced typed pages) of an academic or professional journal. Your submission should be succinct yet substantive.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
SHOW LESS
Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
Nurses have the opportunity to use their skills and develop programs to keep individuals and communities healthy. Health is complex however, and the nurse needs to possess strong advocacy skills to successfu.

Week 9 Assignment
Continue on with building your final application due in week 10. You will submit one cogent paper that combines the previous two applications (Parts One and Two) from weeks 4 and 7, plus the new material mentioned in the week 8 application
Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.
You will develop a 10- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you. You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for this issue.
-In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical concerns that you could face as an advocate.
Specific details for each aspect of this paper are provided each week.

Organizational Foundations
As you strive to grow in your leadership skills and abilities, you will find that the context in which you work influences your motivation and areas of focus. In a similar vein, your commitment to developing professionally can contribute toward organizational effectiveness.
To that end, it is critical to recognize the importance of organizational culture and climate. In particular, through this week’s Learning Resources, you may consider several questions: How do an organization’s mission, vision, and values relate to its culture? What is the difference between culture and climate? Moreover, how are culture and climate manifested within the organization?
For this Discussion, you explore the culture and climate of your current organization or one with which you are familiar. You also consider decisions and day-to-day practices and the way they relate to the organization’s mission, vision, and values.
To prepare:
·
Review the information related to planning and decision making in health care organizations presented in the textbook,
Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application.
Consider how planning and decision making relate to an organization’s mission, vision, and values, as well as its culture and its climate.
·
Familiarize yourself with the mission, vision, and values of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the statements and actions of leaders and others within the organization support or demonstrate the organizational mission, vision, and values. In addition, note any apparent discrepancies between word and deed. Think about how this translates into expectations for direct service providers. Note any data or artifacts that seem to indicate whether behaviors within the organization are congruent with its mission, vision, and values.
·
Begin to examine and reflect on the culture and climate of the organization. How do culture and climate differ?
·
Why is it important for you, as a master’s-prepared nurse leader, to be cognizant of these matters?

Student answer The French and the German were a bit different w.docx
Student answer
The French and the German were a bit different when it came down to decentralized and centralized characteristics. The French on one hand had very high forms of decentralization. One said by Alexis de Tocqueville "Decentralization has, not only an administrative value, but also a civic dimension, since it increases the opportunities for citizens to take interest in public affairs; it makes them get accustomed to using freedom. And from the accumulation of these local, active, persnickety freedoms, is born the most efficient counterweight against the claims of the central government, even if it were supported by an impersonal, collective will.” This shows us how decentralization occurred in France. On the other hand Germany focused more on centralization their value of though was a bit different. About 439 districts have adapted to the centralization characteristics while there were other districts in Germany that still opposed this ideology. There is still a debate whether to adapt to centralization or decentralization even till the year 2005, so I would say that try both characterizes and see what is best for ones country. There is never a exclusively correct answer to any power or characteristics however, one must find where they fit best.
b.) Minimum wage law in Germany, France, Britain and the US were quite different. According to research I have found that in Germany construction workers, electrical workers, janitors, roofers, painters, and letter carriers were set off for minimum wage by the method of collective bargaining agreement. So basically in Germany you choose at what wage you want to work and its wage is decided for you, there is no set rule marked for what you will receive in the minimum wage criteria. On the other hand Britain, U.S. and France have a set minimum wage policy and this provides the nation with order and the workers with security, in case of economic fluctuation their pay will not be affected.
c.) Germany’s rules about co-determination are for the benefit of the working class. Unions were formed and they gave the workers a voice and the power to decide what is beneficial for the company, and thus they can cause the profit margin to either go up or down. I am quite fascinated with this policy, for one if I knew that I will have a say as well as power in a matter of escalating at my work place I would work extremely hard and make my workers and company better. This will not only make the economy stronger but also the society worth of value. The board and the work place level gave the people of Germany a podium to stand on and shine. So if one had any concerns with any matter in relations to the company they can step up and voice their opinion. All employees in a private sector firm are not covered by work counsel even though the law required it because of employee relations is standing on collective bargaining issues so there is no cue in where there should be a clause of protection. Its one s.

Technology and Video Games – Does The Good Outweigh The Bad?
Video Games may actually improve cognitive ability by up to 20% over non-gamers says
a recent study by The University of Southern California. Despite this evidence, Ed Bell believes,
although admitting that technology has improved some aspects of society, that we do not know
how to distinguish the good uses of technology from the bad. Ed Bell’s assertion that everything
was better back in the “good ole days” is misleading. Although technology is sometimes used
indiscriminately, as Ed Bell believes in Technology, Movement, and Sound; the benefit that
technology has had on our society, I believe, outweighs the cons – although there are cons.
Teachers in America are under constant pressure to improve test scores, and raise
achievement, yet in a society tethered to technology, they are losing the battle to keep kids
engaged. Ed Bell’s discourse about a leaf blower and noise pollution left much to be desired, yet
his appreciation of the “good ole’ days,” may be agreed upon by many teachers. Back in the
“good ole days,” teachers had fewer distractions from their instruction other than the occasional
note-passing or whispering during the lesson. In today’s society, teachers have to contend with
the constant struggle to keep kids engaged in more than the latest app or text from their friend or
parent. The problem has become almost epidemic, leading to kids learning less in addition to
impeding the progress of class. This sometimes makes it necessary to reteach what the students
fail to absorb because they had their head in their phone during the lesson. Unfortunately, this is
not the only negative effect technology has had on our society.
Student 2
Although Ed Bell’s diatribe seems to wage war on technology, it is the message of
inactivity that I think is the greater take-away from the article. For years, with the increasing
presence of modern conveniences in our daily lives, society’s activity level has steadily
decreased. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that American
adults should get the equivalent of two and a half hours of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
each week. Children should get about an hour a day. With the popularity of games, and the
advancement of time-saving technology, there is less of this activity than there used to be – but
that is not all. With the advancement of computers and automation in the workplace, the
American employee is not working as hard either – well, not laboriously, anyway. In 1950,
thirty percent of Americans worked in high-activity occupations; by 2000, that proportion had
dropped to only twenty-two percent, according to a Harvard School of Public Health article. Ed
Bell’s article is seemingly mostly negative, but there are some positive benefits to technology as
well. .

Introduction
In general, cloud computing is the main concern for most of the organizations around the world because it makes their information available and reachable in any where they are. Actually it is a software resource that is delivered on demand as a service. There are different storages of cloud computing such as Dropbox, SkyDrive and amazon cloud drive. Cloud computing has many advantages like saving large files, back up of stored files, file sharing and access from different devices.
The study was designed with an aim of creating a website that can help people in information technology (IT) lo learn through the website and at the same time make money for having knowledge in the areas that they are good in. With this idea in mind, we took advantage of Amazon cloud equipments such as servers, switches and other networking tools to create our own website. To design and create the pages, we used the Adobe CS5 which includes Photoshop and Dreamweaver then used the Amazon web server to upload and publish the website on the browser in order for it to be accessible to everyone on the browser. The researchers had an aim wanted to undertake this project so as to help people in IT help each other learn new things and at the same time benefit financially from passing their knowledge to other people.
Goals
The main goal of this project is to make learning life easier and at the same time make people more helpful to the other people who need helps in IT field. Furthermore, this website will give the chance to earn money from providing lessons to people who wish to learn IT. Another goal that we focused on is when some companies have workload or need some people to do they can just submit it on our website and contact with who is able to be responsible to do it.
Why did we choose this project?
We choose this project to be done in this course to implement .

Week 1 Weekly Summary
You have done a great job in meeting these outcomes, especially in your discussion of past organizational change projects as connected to your leadership self-awareness. You also opened up a new avenue of self-awareness by complete the Zinger-Folkman Extraordinary Leader Assessment and constructing your strengths-to-strategy plan in the interactive exercise. I encourage you to continue collecting new tools for your leadership toolbox and building leadership capacity throughout this course and afterward. You will find that you will test some of the skills you are discovering (or rediscovering) through this class in your practicum project. Let's keep the dialogue going to foster an understanding of leadership from the evidence that supports guiding change for a compelling practice problem. I enjoyed reading your examples and seeing the insight you were able to have with regard to leading a change in your organization and doing some self-reflection on what you could have done differently. Understanding and explaining the change process as a self-aware leader helps you internalize these ideas for future projects, especially the impending DNP projects. Remember that you can leverage others’ skills and attributes, which also facilitates the team process.
As a reminder, the following Course Outcomes (COs) guided your learning this week
· CO3. Differentiate attributes of effective leaders and followers in influencing healthcare. (PO 6)
· CO5. Formulate selected strategies for leadership and influence across healthcare systems. (PO 8
This week, we discovered that each practice scholar plays a role in transforming healthcare through self-assessment to identify individual leadership gaps. Evaluating leadership gaps builds tacit knowledge to move us toward professional maturity. You now know that insight into improved systems begins with insight into one's self. Improved systems evolve through the collaboration of individuals who are first committed to improving their own practice. Practice scholars are called to transform the health of our nation. I have no doubt that you'll answer the call by reflecting on your individual and professional commitment to gain insight on needed change within yourself, and your organization. Next week, you'll reflect on emotional intelligence and mindfulness in the workplace. So, let's keep going! Your work is needed to improve patient outcomes!
Week 2
Hello! Last week, we explored how the self-aware practice scholar is influencing the practice of nursing and the health of our nation. The call for transformation to improve patient care delivery requires nurse leaders to reach beyond their intellect to their emotional intelligence. By increasing emotional competence, nurse leaders are raising their awareness to make better choices. Establishing and maintaining relationships are essential to leadership, and all relationships have an emotional component. Emotional ...

Overview
Counseling professionals from different specializations frequently need to work together to provide effective services to students, families, and individual clients. This assignment asks you to address this need in two parts, using what you have learned in this course so far. In Part 1, focus on theory and concepts, creating your own description and evaluation of your specialization, based on the historical and philosophical development of the counseling profession. In Part 2, apply these ideas to a particular case situation, focusing on how a professional in your specialization might collaborate with professionals in other specializations to help meet the needs of the client.
Directions
Part 1
Evaluate the role of your specialization within the field of counseling, beginning with your own description of the field itself, including both the history and the philosophies involved, explaining where your specialization fits, and describing how your specialization might collaborate with one other specialization that you describe. Cite the articles or other sources you use for the basis of your ideas.
In this part, specifically address the following questions:
·
How would you describe the key philosophies of the counseling profession: wellness, resilience, and prevention? Choose a wellness model, and explain how that model impacts the way in which counselors view clients and the concerns brought to counseling, including the kinds of information counselors need to have about their clients.
·
How have those key philosophies developed? Provide a brief historical perspective of the counseling profession focused on the key philosophies of wellness, resilience, and prevention. Include the beliefs and assumptions that support those philosophies.
·
How did your specialization develop? Identify your preferred counseling specialization and describe how the specialization emerged or the profession developed, including the key ideas on which it is based.
·
What other counseling specialization works well in collaboration with your specialization? Briefly explain the history of how this other specialization developed, highlighting the ways in which it complements yours.
Part 2
Now, select one of the following two cases, either Ashley or Paul, as a foundation for illustrating how professionals in different specializations might work together to meet the needs of the client you choose:
Ashley
Ashley, a 12-year-old girl, admits to one of her teachers that she feels very depressed. Her mother has recently remarried, and Ashley is having difficulty adjusting to life with her stepfather and his two children. She is not able to concentrate in class or do her homework.
Paul
Paul, a 32-year-old man, seeks counseling at a commun.
Write a letter to the editor (3–5 double-spaced typed pages) of .docx
Write a letter to the editor (3–5 double-spaced typed pages) of an academic or professional journal. Your submission should be succinct yet substantive.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
SHOW LESS
Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
Nurses have the opportunity to use their skills and develop programs to keep individuals and communities healthy. Health is complex however, and the nurse needs to possess strong advocacy skills to successfu.

Week 9 Assignment
Continue on with building your final application due in week 10. You will submit one cogent paper that combines the previous two applications (Parts One and Two) from weeks 4 and 7, plus the new material mentioned in the week 8 application
Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.
You will develop a 10- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you. You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for this issue.
-In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical concerns that you could face as an advocate.
Specific details for each aspect of this paper are provided each week.
This paper will serve as the Portfolio Application for the course.

Organizational Foundations
As you strive to grow in your leadership skills and abilities, you will find that the context in which you work influences your motivation and areas of focus. In a similar vein, your commitment to developing professionally can contribute toward organizational effectiveness.
To that end, it is critical to recognize the importance of organizational culture and climate. In particular, through this week’s Learning Resources, you may consider several questions: How do an organization’s mission, vision, and values relate to its culture? What is the difference between culture and climate? Moreover, how are culture and climate manifested within the organization?
For this Discussion, you explore the culture and climate of your current organization or one with which you are familiar. You also consider decisions and day-to-day practices and the way they relate to the organization’s mission, vision, and values.
To prepare:
·
Review the information related to planning and decision making in health care organizations presented in the textbook,
Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing: Theory and Application.
Consider how planning and decision making relate to an organization’s mission, vision, and values, as well as its culture and its climate.
·
Familiarize yourself with the mission, vision, and values of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Consider how the statements and actions of leaders and others within the organization support or demonstrate the organizational mission, vision, and values. In addition, note any apparent discrepancies between word and deed. Think about how this translates into expectations for direct service providers. Note any data or artifacts that seem to indicate whether behaviors within the organization are congruent with its mission, vision, and values.
·
Begin to examine and reflect on the culture and climate of the organization. How do culture and climate differ?
·
Why is it important for you, as a master’s-prepared nurse leader, to be cognizant of these matters?

Student answer The French and the German were a bit different w.docx
Student answer
The French and the German were a bit different when it came down to decentralized and centralized characteristics. The French on one hand had very high forms of decentralization. One said by Alexis de Tocqueville "Decentralization has, not only an administrative value, but also a civic dimension, since it increases the opportunities for citizens to take interest in public affairs; it makes them get accustomed to using freedom. And from the accumulation of these local, active, persnickety freedoms, is born the most efficient counterweight against the claims of the central government, even if it were supported by an impersonal, collective will.” This shows us how decentralization occurred in France. On the other hand Germany focused more on centralization their value of though was a bit different. About 439 districts have adapted to the centralization characteristics while there were other districts in Germany that still opposed this ideology. There is still a debate whether to adapt to centralization or decentralization even till the year 2005, so I would say that try both characterizes and see what is best for ones country. There is never a exclusively correct answer to any power or characteristics however, one must find where they fit best.
b.) Minimum wage law in Germany, France, Britain and the US were quite different. According to research I have found that in Germany construction workers, electrical workers, janitors, roofers, painters, and letter carriers were set off for minimum wage by the method of collective bargaining agreement. So basically in Germany you choose at what wage you want to work and its wage is decided for you, there is no set rule marked for what you will receive in the minimum wage criteria. On the other hand Britain, U.S. and France have a set minimum wage policy and this provides the nation with order and the workers with security, in case of economic fluctuation their pay will not be affected.
c.) Germany’s rules about co-determination are for the benefit of the working class. Unions were formed and they gave the workers a voice and the power to decide what is beneficial for the company, and thus they can cause the profit margin to either go up or down. I am quite fascinated with this policy, for one if I knew that I will have a say as well as power in a matter of escalating at my work place I would work extremely hard and make my workers and company better. This will not only make the economy stronger but also the society worth of value. The board and the work place level gave the people of Germany a podium to stand on and shine. So if one had any concerns with any matter in relations to the company they can step up and voice their opinion. All employees in a private sector firm are not covered by work counsel even though the law required it because of employee relations is standing on collective bargaining issues so there is no cue in where there should be a clause of protection. Its one s.

Technology and Video Games – Does The Good Outweigh The Bad?
Video Games may actually improve cognitive ability by up to 20% over non-gamers says
a recent study by The University of Southern California. Despite this evidence, Ed Bell believes,
although admitting that technology has improved some aspects of society, that we do not know
how to distinguish the good uses of technology from the bad. Ed Bell’s assertion that everything
was better back in the “good ole days” is misleading. Although technology is sometimes used
indiscriminately, as Ed Bell believes in Technology, Movement, and Sound; the benefit that
technology has had on our society, I believe, outweighs the cons – although there are cons.
Teachers in America are under constant pressure to improve test scores, and raise
achievement, yet in a society tethered to technology, they are losing the battle to keep kids
engaged. Ed Bell’s discourse about a leaf blower and noise pollution left much to be desired, yet
his appreciation of the “good ole’ days,” may be agreed upon by many teachers. Back in the
“good ole days,” teachers had fewer distractions from their instruction other than the occasional
note-passing or whispering during the lesson. In today’s society, teachers have to contend with
the constant struggle to keep kids engaged in more than the latest app or text from their friend or
parent. The problem has become almost epidemic, leading to kids learning less in addition to
impeding the progress of class. This sometimes makes it necessary to reteach what the students
fail to absorb because they had their head in their phone during the lesson. Unfortunately, this is
not the only negative effect technology has had on our society.
Student 2
Although Ed Bell’s diatribe seems to wage war on technology, it is the message of
inactivity that I think is the greater take-away from the article. For years, with the increasing
presence of modern conveniences in our daily lives, society’s activity level has steadily
decreased. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that American
adults should get the equivalent of two and a half hours of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
each week. Children should get about an hour a day. With the popularity of games, and the
advancement of time-saving technology, there is less of this activity than there used to be – but
that is not all. With the advancement of computers and automation in the workplace, the
American employee is not working as hard either – well, not laboriously, anyway. In 1950,
thirty percent of Americans worked in high-activity occupations; by 2000, that proportion had
dropped to only twenty-two percent, according to a Harvard School of Public Health article. Ed
Bell’s article is seemingly mostly negative, but there are some positive benefits to technology as
well. .

Introduction
In general, cloud computing is the main concern for most of the organizations around the world because it makes their information available and reachable in any where they are. Actually it is a software resource that is delivered on demand as a service. There are different storages of cloud computing such as Dropbox, SkyDrive and amazon cloud drive. Cloud computing has many advantages like saving large files, back up of stored files, file sharing and access from different devices.
The study was designed with an aim of creating a website that can help people in information technology (IT) lo learn through the website and at the same time make money for having knowledge in the areas that they are good in. With this idea in mind, we took advantage of Amazon cloud equipments such as servers, switches and other networking tools to create our own website. To design and create the pages, we used the Adobe CS5 which includes Photoshop and Dreamweaver then used the Amazon web server to upload and publish the website on the browser in order for it to be accessible to everyone on the browser. The researchers had an aim wanted to undertake this project so as to help people in IT help each other learn new things and at the same time benefit financially from passing their knowledge to other people.
Goals
The main goal of this project is to make learning life easier and at the same time make people more helpful to the other people who need helps in IT field. Furthermore, this website will give the chance to earn money from providing lessons to people who wish to learn IT. Another goal that we focused on is when some companies have workload or need some people to do they can just submit it on our website and contact with who is able to be responsible to do it.
Why did we choose this project?
We choose this project to be done in this course to implement .
Student answer A. (1) Use Mancur Olsons theory to explain the b.docx
Student answer
A. (1) Use Mancur Olson's theory to explain the behavior of Angola's government, elite, and general public with respect to the CIF and CSIH's contracts.
Angola’s government and political elite according to Mancur Olson’s theory are seen as distributional coalitions. Both parties have an incentive to partner with the CIF. China requires natural resources and the Angolan government and its elite want money. The funding is distributed amongst the group and society does not benefit at all. This behavior will continuously impede Angola’s economic growth. There is no funding for projects that create jobs to improve infrastructure. The general public suffers at the hands of this partnership. There is no trust of the government.
(2) What is stadium diplomacy? How does it fit Olson's theory?
A form of cultural diplomacy that China uses as a means to gain access to another country’s market. They are presented as gifts or constitute some sort of partnership between China and the host country. What developing country wouldn't want a newly constructed stadium? The return on a project such as this is assumes to be greater than the cost. That being to China shall we say.
B. (1) Are there parallels between China's treatment of miners in Mozambique and Zambia and Eastover Mining Company's treatment of workers in Harlan County, Kentucky? Explain.
There absolutely are parallels between China’s treatment of the Mozambique and Zambia miners and the workers in Harlan County. In both cases the workers were subjected to unsafe working conditions, unfair labor practices, and indecent wages. Fortunately, the Harlan County workers were able to strike and make a difference. In Mozambique and Zambia the state owned companies and the government swept it under the rug.
(2) Use Olson's model to explain the Chinese government's indifference to Aolong's mistreatment and near enslavement of Chinese workers in Gabon.
The main goal of the Chinese government is to increase its presence globally and strengthen its own economy. China has increased in economic strength over the past three decades. The workers that complained to the embassy regarding the treatment they received from Aolong was addressed as a nuisance. The Chinese government has a bigger incentive to turn a blind eye to the treatment of the workers. The cost of improving working conditions and overall treatment of the workers aren't seen as beneficial.
(3) Is Chinese unionism up to the task of defending Chinese workers in situations like Aolong?
It looks as those the state owned companies are protected by the government and has no incentive of changing its labor practices. Unfortunately, because of the relationship between unions and the government, the workers voice will not be heard.
(4) Why haven't Chinese unions worked to improve conditions for non-Chinese workers in places like Zambia?
Chinese unions have no incentive to improve working conditions for the non-Chinese worker. As long as the.

Instruments of Fate in No Country for Old Men
In this movie, No Country for old men, there are three main characters. Anton Chigurh of a killer, Llewelyn Moss of a welder and Vietnam veteran, and Ed Tom Bell of a soon-to-retire country sheriff. Each of the three men has the fate of their lives. Especially, some instruments in this movie play very important roles to decide the fates of Chigurh and Moss. In this movie, Chigurh and Moss are the completely different characters. While Chigurh is a cold-blooded and kills many people, Moss is a typical Amarican who is a Vietnam veteran, has wife, and fearless man. The only common thing between Chigurh and Moss is that money and gun strongly affect both of their lives and fates. Both of them try to get something they want by using guns, but finally the desires leads them to deaths.
In this movie, money plays an important role as a tool for Chigurh to do coin toss. He uses this tool, or coin when he makes his actions and decisions. He often says, “Call it” to people and bets whether he kills them or not by the result of his coin tosses. For example, he says, “Call it” when he goes to a store and talks to an old man. Fortunately, the man wins and is not killed by Chigurh. This action, coin toss, shows us Chigurh’s power, which can control other people’s fates easily without any coherent reasons. We can also say that the coin toss is the way to escape the responsibility to kill people.
The last time that he says “Call it” to someone is when he meets Moss’s wife, Carla Jean. Jean finds that Chigurh is sitting down on the chair on the corner of a bedroom. Although everyone is afraid of him and said which side of the coin, Jean denies calling the coin. Instead of calling the result of coin toss; she criticizes Chigurh’s actions. She says, “The coin don't have no say. It's just you”(Coen). She argues that he chooses his decisions, not by coin, but by himself. She wants to say that a coin does not have any power to change him. In this scene, many audiences may have the questions about Chigurh. For example, “why did he start to kill people? ”, “does he have any purpose to kill people?” and so on. Thinking the reason why he is doing coin toss, we feel that Chigurh is actually lonely and normal person who want to rely on something. It seems Chigurh is not like a usual human beings because of his behavior, looking, and talking way. However, he actually very looks like a modern people, especially Americans who are isolated rather than independent. American people are becoming to do many things by themselves because of the high technologies such as the Internet, and iPhones. Nowadays, people can find any solutions by searching the information on the Internet. Moreover phones can even hear people’s voice and answer their questions. The coin is like an iPhone for Chigurh, who does not have any relationship with others and want to rely on something.
Although he decid.

Studding abroad has become a major priority to for the higher educ.docx
Studding abroad has become a major priority to for the higher education sectors of many counties. Because studying abroad will make students advance in many aspects of their life. Studying abroad will help students to will help students become better in their life in many aspects it will cater their academic , personal, cultural and carrier growth. Education is the most important thing in life. Without education it is impossible to accomplish anything in life. Students who get a chance to study abroad should not miss this opportunity because it is once in a lifetime opportunity due to the benefits it has.
One primary incentive of studying abroad is better education. Studying abroad ensures better educational opportunities’ compared to my home country due to a wider selection of study options to choose from. This will enable students to better specialize in their carrier that they chose. International education is also better because in many Asian countries the teaching method is more focused on theoretical knowledge more than practical. The result of this teaching style will make students gain a vast amount of information will no clue on how to use or apply them correctly. On the other hand the education system in west countries such as the united states will focus on both gaining knowledge and making sure that a student knows how to apply them correctly, so international education is better because it will make students gain a balance education between gaining a lot of knowledge and on how to apply them correctly, this will result in a balance and better rounded education.
Apart from getting better education studding abroad will help make students more independent and will make them get out from their comfort zone and face life. It will also make students to face various situations and crisez that they have to resolve with the help of the parents. And students will have to manage their on money and manage their own life which will help make students more mature. For example when I was back home at Kuwait everything was managed by my parents, such as paying bills, buying grocery. And other life aspects were also done by other people, such as cleaning the house, doing the dishes and cleaning my clothers. All those things I have never done befor in my life because we have house mades which help to do the chores. But when I came to the United states by self and I have never traved befor. I came to a foreign country when I was 18 years old and never had any responsablity to do back in Kuwait. But when I first landed I knew that I was by self and I had to take care of my own self; I searched to apartments and rented one within a weak or two from arriving, I stated to pay my own bills for water, electricity and many other responsibilities that I had to take care of. I have learned in one month to manage my life and became mature and I am grateful for this.
Other great aspect of studying abroad is that it will provide a great chance for cultural .

The King of Equality Comment by Katie: Thoughtful title!
On August 28, 1936 Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the best known speeches in American history. When people commemorate the “I Have a Dream” speech, as it has come to be identified, they recall King’s powerful message about civil rights and the true meaning of freedom in America. In the famous “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King Jr. uses a number of rhetorical devices in order to match his word choice to the strength of his message. Numerous examples of allusion, parallelism, and anaphora are used as tactics to amplify the intensity of his message. Comment by Katie: Great thesis—it makes a clear claim and provides a forecast of your paper’s outline.
King begins his speech with a reference to the Gettysburg address, “Five score years ago…” (King par. 2).The opening allusion is exceptionally moving given that King spoke in front of the Lincoln Memorial. King uses examples of allusions, or references to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. Allusions can be direct or indirect, and are often used to broaden the reader’s understanding. The Gettysburg Address is not the only historical piece referenced in King’s speech; the Declaration of Independence is also referenced in paragraph four of the “I Have a Dream” speech. The speech reads, “This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the ‘unalienable Rights’ of ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness’" (King par. 4). Martin Luther King Jr. addresses the Declaration of Independence in order to get his supporters to recognize the equal rights that they deserve as Americans. In order to provide an honorable basis, King uses numerous biblical allusions. Two examples of biblical allusions used in the speech include Psalms 30:5 and Jeremiah 2:13. King cries ‘It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.” (King par. 2) referring to Psalms 30:5, “For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Dlugan, Andrew). Martin Luther King Jr. is expressing that the struggle for the black community was long and hard but the freedom they will receive will last a lifetime. Jeremiah 2:13 was also a biblical verse King evokes in his speech proclaiming, “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred,” (King par. 8) referring to Jeremiah 2:13, “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water” (Dlugan, Andrew). King is using this biblical verse to explain to his people that they must fight peacefully, without violence and hatred, and if they do they will be rewarded for their peaceful behavior.

Structure!Thesis British politics were changed in such a fa.docx
Structure!
Thesis: British politics were changed in such a fashion because the changes caused something.
If these changes had not occurred, it is possible that x could have happened!
Before the 19th century Reform Acts, British politics possessed a conservative, statesmanlike,
and stable character. The Reform Acts introduced modern republicanism without significant
disruption because the working class British that became incorporated respected British
hierarchical society and the parliamentary system. Furthermore, many of the substantial social
changes from the 19th-20th centuries occurred because of substantial economic changes, not
political reform. If the franchise had not been enlarged to eventually encompass the working
class, it is quite possible that radical political movements, such as the Charterists, would have
gained a political hold.!!
Bagehot and Government!
Bagehot writes from within the period studied!
Bagehot takes an aristocratic view of government!
Ruling takes education, experience, and sobriety--this is what he calls “statesmanship”!
Statesmanship!
The job of the political elites is to provide sober judgment on issues!
His condemnation of American politics largely rests on the inability of the Americans to reach
sober conclusions on politically necessary issues!
Because the President and Congress are in constant competition, there can be no
statesmanship (37)!
The introduction of the working class endangers this statesmanship!
Bagehot writes, “I am exceedingly afraid of the ignorant multitude of the new constituencies.” (p.
17)!
The introduction of the working class would require specific actions on the parts of the
statesmen, and provide a real danger!
However, while Bagehot is anxious about reform, he does not dismiss it out of hand -- it is a
challenge but could provide reasonable results of the Parliament is followed!
Was he right or wrong? Were his concerns justified?!
Bagehot’s concerns are legitimate. The course of other countries’ attempts to reform would
demonstrate that. However, organized, radical labor movements did not form in Britain!
1832 Reform Act!
On its face, the 1832 Reform Act was substantial!
It brought 10-pound householders into the vote!
Functionally, this extended the franchise!
In practice, Bagehot, argues, it was not so extreme!
In the first place, constitutional changes take time to be discovered, as generational changes
matter (7)!
Most of the pre-1832 elites, such as Lord Pemberton, remained in power until the mid-1860s (7)!
Secondly, England is a “deferential society,” argues Bagehot.!
The newly-incorporated members did not participate directly in politics -- they remained
shopkeepers (8)!
“If a hundred small shopkeepers had by miracle been added to any of the ‘32 Parliaments, they
would have felt outcasts there.” (8)!
Parliament remained the space of the elite!
The newly-incorporated did not vote to push their personal interest in politics at the national
level!
They voted .
Student #1 I have chosen to write about the history of data anal.docx
Student #1
I have chosen to write about the history of data analysis for the Los Angeles Police Department. While I currently reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado and work as a deputy sheriff in Denver, Colorado I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and I know that they should have a large amount of data to draw from.
Currently the Los Angeles Police Department uses COMPSTAT to compile their data. They have a unit, known as the COMPSTAT unit, whose sole job is to compile crime statistics and analyze the data (Los Angeles Police Department, 2016) COMPSTAT is short for computer statistics. COMPSTAT was developed by Police Commissioner William Bratton in 1994 for use by the New York Police Department. According to the University of Maryland by the year 2000 over a third of police agencies with over 100 officers were utilizing some sort of COMPSTAT like program (University of Maryland, 2015). In 2002 William Bratton became the Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Police Department and brought with him the concept of COMPSTAT. During the first six years of his tenure Los Angeles saw a steady decrease in the cities crime rates thanks largely in part to COMPSTAT policing.
Mean, mode and median play a large part in analyzing criminal data. The mean is the average number. An example of this for crime data analysis would be in neighborhood C there was 14 robberies committed on Monday between 1 and 3 AM, 17 robberies on Tuesday at the same time period and 9 on Wednesday during the same time period. The mean would be 13.3 robberies per night for those 3 nights. Knowing this is high for the city the data could be used to justify extra police presence in Neighborhood C. An example of the mode would be if in the same neighborhood in the same week there were 17 robberies on both Friday and Saturday, 12 on Thursday and 11 on Sunday. The mode would be 17 and it would also be a reason to add extra police presence in the neighborhood until a significant decrease was seen in the amount of robberies taking place. Finally we come to the median. This is simply line the numbers up for the week and take the number that falls in the middle. In the case of the robberies occurring in neighborhood C the number would be 14. All of this data can be combined to show watch commanders and captain’s areas where they should be focusing their officer’s time. If there is a neighborhood that has seen only one or two robberies during the week, it is definitely not in as much need of a heavy police presence as Neighborhood C is.
Student #2
Beginning in the mid-1990’s, police in New York began to run statistical analysis of the city’s crime reports, arrests and other police activity known as COMPSTAT. Law enforcement agencies since this analysis began, has implemented their own data-driven approaches to tracking and adapting to crime trends. The LAPD is both heavily armed and thoroughly computerized. The Real-Time Analysis and Critical Response Division is its central processor..
Student answer (a) In US business unionism focuses on benefits t.docx
Student answer
(a) In US business unionism focuses on benefits to existing members, (opposed to other countries like Britain) employers’ organizations are not prominent at any level, however, employer’ organizations that seek to maintain unions away from employees have been prominent.
(b) Diversity creates a wider range of variation employment practices, (to mention one factor) but Britain lacks such factor, in addition, the government does not support employment regulation as it happens in US. (i) New modernized methods of union organizing have been implemented such as intensive direct communication with prospective members through young well-educated organizers. (ii) In the US diversity has been a strong factor leading to wider employment arrangements.
(c) (i) (i) according to Olson the likelihood of cross-national cooperation confronts different barriers such as, divergent interests, national differences in language, culture, law and union structure. However the potential exists.
Student answer
US employers are amongst the most anti union employers in the world because unions tend to hurt productivity and reduce profit margin.
Business Unionism uses the principle that unions should operate like a business. It has been attractive to the US employees because business union jobs pay better wages than non-union equivalents. It is operated by employers and employees, therefore the interest of all parties is advocated.
To expand union membership, the US confederation, the AFL-CIO tried to modernise and broaden issues that attract union members such as child care and equal pay. They have also used young well-educated organisers and involve extensive direct communication with prospective members and links to community groups such as churches.
The union density plummeted in the US because of the split of the major unions forming a coalition called the CTW - change to win coalition. In the UK the fall was due to state labour policies, management resistance and workplace practices, changing composition employment and the labour force and issues internal to unionism.
Non union personnel practices have developed the furthest in the US.
Cross-national cooperation is possible through trade and treaty agreements. The major difference between liberal and coordinated is the ability to obtain capital without having to plead with a bank. The liberal has the access to capital via public markets such as stocks and bonds while this is not so with the coordinated.
Olson will say that cross-national cooperation will break barriers and economic incentives such as increased trade will be gained.
Student answer
(a) The U.S. operates on "Employment at will" where employers do not have to provide just cause for dismissal, reasonable notice or severance pay on dismissal of an employee. The U.S. business unionism, focuses narrowly on providing benefits to existing members.
(b) The AFL-CIO tried to modernize and broaden issues that attract union members, (.

Phase 1- Database Design and DDL
My team was recently contracted to design and develop a database for CTU that will store personal and confidential university data. This database is expected to provide the back-end architecture for a front-end web application with an intuitive User/Interface (U/I) to be used by the university HR department. We’ve decided to use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 given the nature of data to be stored because it will be more secure, and it also provides a suite of server maintenance tools to be left behind with the IT Department once the database and web application have been tested and accepted by university stakeholders.
During our preliminary meetings, CTU’s requirements were defined and adequately scoped to begin creation of the database. The following sections contain the business rules and entity tables developed during the preliminary meetings, as well as copies of all the SQL code used to build the database and create the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). Business Rules & Entity Tables
Business Rules:
· A student has a name, a birth date, and gender.
· You must track the date the student started at the university and his or her current GPA, as well as be able to inactivate him or her without deleting information.
· For advising purposes, store the student's background/bio information. This is like a little story.
· An advisor has a name and an e-mail address.
· Students are assigned to one advisor, but one advisor may service multiple students.
· A class has a class code, name, and description.
· You need to indicate the specific classes a student is taking/has taken at the university. Track the date the student started a specific class and the grade earned in that class.
· Each class that a student takes has 4 assignments. Each assignment is worth 100 points.Entity Tables:

STRIKING A BALANCE BETWEEN PUBLIC INTEREST OF
TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVACY
OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION AND SECURITY
INFORMATION: AN EXAMINATION OF TRIBUNE-REVIEW
PUBLISHING CO. V BODACK
I. INTRODUCTION
Pennsyivanians generally want the government to work
properly and to be free from corruption. They also generally want
to know how tax dollars are spent and how efficiently the
government works. The Right-to-Know Law provides access to
state government public records to any individual or entity that
properly requests them. ' The purpose of this law is to give a level
of transparency to the inner workings of the state government.^
However, this right to access public records could lead to the
inadvertent disclosure of important personal identification and
security information of innocent, private citizens.
Under the Right-to-Know Act, the state court system took
responsibility for determining not only what fits into the definition
of a "public record," but also whether the public interest in the
information outweighs the possible " 'impairment of a person's
reputation or personal security' " by the disclosure of that
information.^ Because, historically, Pennsylvania courts have
broadly interpreted the public record definition, individuals are at a
' Right-to-Know Law, 65 PA. STAT. ANN. §§ 67.101- .1102 (West Supp.
2009). The Right-to-Know Law completely overhauled public records access in
Pennsylvania, effective January 1, 2009. Id. §67.101. However, this act only
applies to requests for public records after December 31, 2008. Id. § 67.3101. So
any case pending with a request for information prior to December 31, 2008,
should be decided under the former Right-to-Know Act. The implications of the
revised Right-to-Know Law are discussed in the evaluation section. See infra pt.

This survey will examine how Pennsylvania courts have
attempted to achieve a balance between the public's interest in the

exception to the required disclosure of information in public
records. Part III discusses Tribune-Review Publish.

Section I: Awareness
Deliberative
Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Deliberative theme are best described by the serious care
they take in making decisions or choices. They anticipate the obstacles.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
Instinctively, you are considered a businesslike individual by most of your teammates. Why? You
probably avoid activities in the workplace or classroom that make you appear foolish. It’s very likely
that you are likely to be the team member who is known for weighing the pros and cons rather than
rushing recklessly to conclusions. You seldom make impulsive or rash decisions. By nature, you
embody the proverb “Still waters run deep.” Quiet by nature, you give deep thought to many matters.
Often you appear earnest and dignified to others. People benefit from your clear-sightedness as well
as your sympathetic understanding and insights. Because of your strengths, you are somewhat
private about your personal life — that is, your past, your present activities, or your future plans. You
tend to be selective about what you tell and to whom you tell it. Driven by your talents, you often are
described as a no-nonsense person. You are determined to examine the smallest details of
processes, problems, regulations, plans, and contracts. Breaking these into their basic parts helps
you better understand them. You are easily annoyed by individuals who fail to give you enough time
to methodically investigate, study, or think through things.
Questions
1. As you read your personalized strengths insights, what words, phrases, or lines stand out to
you?
2. Out of all the talents in this insight, what would you like for others to see most in you?

Shared Theme Description
People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
Your Personalized Strengths Insights
What makes you stand out?
By nature, you prefer to work with teammates who share your concern about doing everything correctly and ethically. It’s very likely that you bring an exceptionally mature perspective to your team. Most people regard you as the dependable and reliable one. Because of your strengths, you sometimes open yourself to diverse types of people. You ordinarily welcome individuals who otherwise would feel out of place or ignored. Instinctively, you may reject the idea that telling a falsehood about something unimportant is acceptable. Perhaps you refuse to make an innocent social excuse to protect someone’s feelings. Driven by your talents, you experience pangs of remorse when you realize you failed to do something you promised to do. You feel awful when you do not do something correctly. You probably regret having compromised your basic values about right and wrong.

Issue: Given the success of being one of the world’s largest global payments technology companies, MasterCard has an opportunity to enter into the country of North Korea to expand its technology basis and help build the North Korean economy.
Recommendation: MasterCard should research and investigate the costs and benefits of expanding itself into North Korea.
Justification: In its current state, MasterCard is the second largest global payments technology organization and could use this strength to enter into North Korea to help build their economy not only by introducing its products and services into the country, but to help a weak economy become stronger with the proper use of a global payment technology.
Issue: Attempting to expand into other third world countries increases the security threat. The security at MasterCard needs an update to prevent their customers from becoming targets of credit card breaches and fraud.
Recommendation: MasterCard should design a new digital debit/credit card that uses a thumbprint to authorize the use of the card.
Justification: Fingerprints are a unique feature that can provide great security assurance when dealing with theft. The fact that no two fingerprints are identical will make it hard for fraud to take place.
Task 1: A Research and Development (R & D) team will be established for a 12 month period beginning May 2014 and continuing through May 2015 to determine what areas within North Korea would be in the best interest for MasterCard to locate. The team would consist of accountants, lawyers, management, and several other individuals who would work solely on this project for the year. The estimated cost for this project could reach up to $2 million. The current budget is listed at $2.5 million. All correspondence and findings will be reported to the current CEO, CFO, and COO as well as the Board of Directors.
Throughout the year, the R & D team will spend ample time traveling and speaking with the delegates of North Korea to get a good feel of the acceptance of a large corporation entering into their country. Travel expenses during the complete project are estimated to be a total of $150,000 of the expected budget.
The initial expense per visit to North Korea is a $1000 required tour that does not include any other amenities such as airfare, hotel, or food. The estimated complete “tour” expense for the year is $5,000. The flight expense during the year for the R & D team estimates the cost of $18,150 during the year. It is estimated that each ticket would cost $726 and no more than 5 team members would travel at a time, with an estimated 5 trips per year. A budget of $25,000 has been allotted for flight expenses alone due to the current trips per year estimation. As the end of the research gets closer, there may need to be an additional trip or two that need.

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

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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

Taking a StandEffective leaders have a high degree of self-awarene.docx
- 1. Taking a Stand Effective leaders have a high degree of self-awareness and know how to leverage their strengths in the workplace. Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others. As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyone—regardless of temperament type or related preferences—experiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues. At some point in your leadership career, you will encounter an ethical or moral dilemma that requires you to take a stand and defend your position. For this Assignment, you evaluate an issue and consider how you could act as a moral agent or advocate, facilitating the resolution of the issue for a positive outcome. To prepare: · Consider the examples of leadership demonstrated in this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources. · To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament as indicated in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others and include your results from Kiersey Temperament Sorter to describe potential challenges related to your leadership style. · Mentally survey your work environment, or one with which you
- 2. are familiar, and identify a timely issue/dilemma that requires you to perform the leadership role of moral agent or advocate to improve a situation (e.g., speaking or acting on behalf of a vulnerable patient, the need for appropriate staffing, a colleague being treated unfairly). · What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between ethical, moral, and legal leadership. · Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organization’s mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession. What motivation do you see for taking a stand on an important issue even when it is difficult to do so? To complete: Write a 4 to 5 page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following: 1. Introduce the conceptual frameworks of the ethical constructs of ethics, moral, or legal standards and the purpose of the paper. 2. Consider an ethical, moral, or legal dilemma that you have encountered in your work environment and describe it. 3. Analyze the moral, ethical, and legal implications utilized in this situation. Describe your role as a moral agent or advocate for this specific issue.
- 3. 4. Consider your leadership styles identified by your self- assessment and determine if they act as a barrier or facilitation during this dilemma. 5. Summary with Conclusion REMINDERS: · Don’t forget to put introduction with the purpose of the paper (addressing question #1), body of the paper (addressing question #2, #3, and #4), summary with conclusion, and references. Put headings on every addressed question (5 headings). · Kindly follow APA format for the citation and references! References should be 5 years old between the period of 2011 and 2016. · Please utilize my resources below at least three references on the list and you can add more in your own credible resources… References: Readings · Marquis, B.
