Achiever
Your Achiever theme helps explain your drive. Achiever describes a constant need for
achievement. You feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day you must achieve
something tangible in order to feel good about yourself. And by “every day” you mean every
single day—workdays, weekends, vacations. No matter how much you may feel you deserve
a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you
will feel dissatisfied. You have an internal fire burning inside you. It pushes you to do more,
to achieve more. After each accomplishment is reached, the fire dwindles for a moment, but
very soon it rekindles itself, forcing you toward the next accomplishment. Your relentless
need for achievement might not be logical. It might not even be focused. But it will always be
with you. As an Achiever you must learn to live with this whisper of discontent. It does have
its benefits. It brings you the energy you need to work long hours without burning out. It is
the jolt you can always count on to get you started on new tasks, new challenges. It is the
power supply that causes you to set the pace and define the levels of productivity for your
work group. It is the theme that keeps you moving.
Activator
“When can we start?” This is a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action.
You may concede that analysis has its uses or that debate and discussion can occasionally
yield some valuable insights, but deep down you know that only action is real. Only action
can make things happen. Only action leads to performance. Once a decision is made, you
cannot not act. Others may worry that “there are still some things we don’t know,” but this
doesn’t seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that
the fastest way to get there is to go stoplight to stoplight. You are not going to sit around
waiting until all the lights have turned green. Besides, in your view, action and thinking are
not opposites. In fact, guided by your Activator theme, you believe that action is the best de-
vice for learning. You make a decision, you take action, you look at the result, and you learn.
This learning informs your next action and your next. How can you grow if you have nothing
to react to? Well, you believe you can’t. You must put yourself out t.

Can you think of any other modern developments that have been utilized by terrorists?
Analyze and explain why people become and remain involved in a terrorist movement?
What do they hope to achieve?
Define terrorism and explain in your own words how it is practiced. Elucidate if you think terrorism is a criminal act or an act of war. Support your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
Briefly describe a terrorist incident (Orlando Florida night club shooting jun12 2016) from the past five years (from anywhere in the world). Describe the act and explain how those responsible for this act were identified. Analyze if the goal of the terrorist or the terrorist group was achieved.

Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health c.docx
Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages
Among all items listed, our consulting team considers the following the m.

Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.
Are the facts related to the practice problem presented in an objective manner? Explain your rationale.
Does the author use sources to support ideas and claims, and not the other way around? Explain your rationale.
Based on your appraisal, is this exemplar a true synthesis of the evidence? Or is it a summary of the evidence? Explain your rationale.

Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and sta.docx
Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and stakeholders use to determine whether the program is successful. Success is determined by multiple parameters such as financial viability of the program as well as the administrative and clinical impact of the program on the community’s or organization’s mission. Today’s programs are also expected to proactively address healthcare disparities and inequities in all levels of communities and demonstrate measureable reductions in inequities in diverse patient/client populations.
For this milestone, you will create an evaluation plan that will include the financial aspects of your proposed program as well as your evaluation methods. In your submission, be sure to include the following:
Proposed Program :to establish a department in IGM to facilitate holistic care of pediatric patients. This holistic care will require patients to be monitored before, during, and after a clinical procedure. The program will be flexible to ensure that each patient receives customized care at a subsidized fee.
Financial Aspects
o What specific resources would you suggest for use in your program? For example, what staffing and equipment suggestions would you make?
Be sure to explain your rationale.
o What is the impact on the community’s or organization’s current budget? In other words, will the program fit into the existing budget, or willconcessions need to be made?
o What recommendations would you make for ensuring the program is financially sustainable? Are there measurable expense reductions for the community/organization that cover the costs of the program? Does the program create new sources of revenue for the community or organization to offset the costs of the program?
Evaluation
o What will you measure (such as benchmarks, patient outcomes, or other measurable data) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation? Focus on both administrative and clinical measures. Include multiple levels of measurement, including the patients/clients served, populations of patients/clients served, and community environmental measures.
o What tools will you use to measure the effect of your program on reducing the incidence of healthcare disparities?
o How will these evaluation tools tell you whether the program is successful?
o To what extent will the program help ensure healthcare equity across diverse populations? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper for this milestone must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA formatting. Include at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

Abstract
Neurofeedback (NF) is gaining recognition as an evidence-based intervention grounded
in learning theory, and 19-channel z-score neurofeedback (19ZNF) is a new NF model.
Peer-reviewed literature is lacking regarding empirical-based evaluation of 19ZNF. The
purpose of this quantitative research study was to evaluate the efficacy of 19ZNF, in a
clinical setting, using archival data from a Southwest NF practice, with a retrospective
one-group pretest-posttest design. Each of the outcome measures framed a group such
that 19ZNF was evaluated, as it relates to the particular neuropsychological constructs of
attention (n = 10), behavior (n = 14), executive function (n = 12), as well as
electrocortical functioning (n = 21). The research questions asked if 19ZNF improves
these constructs. One-tailed t tests performed, compared pre-post scores for included
clinical assessment scales, and selected quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG)
metrics. For all pre-post comparisons, the direction of change was in the predicted
direction. Moreover, for all outcome measures, the group means were beyond the
clinically significant threshold before 19ZNF, and no longer clinically significant after
19ZNF. All differences were statistically significant, with results ranging from p = .000
to p = .008; and effect sizes ranging from 1.29 to 3.42. Results suggest 19ZNF improved
attention, behavior, executive function, and electrocortical function. This study provides
beginning evidence of 19ZNF’s efficacy, adds to what is known about 19ZNF, and offers
an innovative approach for using QEEG metrics as outcome measures. These results may
lead to a greater acceptance of 19ZNF, as well as foster needed additional scientific
research.

Evaluate assumptions and premises used in developing marketing strategy:
(add some introduction of 7-8 lines on marketing strategy)
1) Adjusted the sales force depending on when it increased in the market and we used consumer shopping survey to understand where the customers like to purchase (10-11lines)
2) Due to our high price in the market and the inflation increasing… we didn’t change our prices and further decreased by few cents……. But later as we were going into loss in this inflation period, we increased our prices but kept them reasonable compared to our competitors. (reasons and add few more relevant points to make it big)
3) Advertising- initially we concentrated on aches and chest congestion. Write about targeting audience
4) Brand relevance:
5) Consumer feedback.. coupons…
6) Attractive tagline:
7) Easy to find….(few lines)…. Changed the packing- got positive reviews from customers
8) Introducing new products: a) Allround: aches, chest congestion
b) Allroundplus: nasal congestion, aches, allergy symptoms, runny nose(introduced in 4th year)
c) Allright
9) we took the decision to drop alcohol for children and young adults…. Non-drowsy and can driving safe
10) introduced 12hr multi symptom relief: instead of using tablet every 2hr or 4 hrs… it works for a long time.. less hectic, easy to carry and for journeys.

Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing. Euthanasia can be des.docx
Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing. Euthanasia can be described as the act of putting a person to death painlessly. The practice mostly happens when an individual is suffering from a disease that is incurable and so painful, a physical disorder which is damaging, by withholding the treatments and also by removing the artificial measures put in place to support life.
The practice has been supported by various groups, while others have firmly stood against the practice. For instance, some religious groups believe that practicing euthanasia would kill the value as well as the respect that society has for human life (Bekos, 2019). There have been controversies on euthanasia between religion and morality. Some people are for the idea that euthanasia is the same as murder and is unacceptable.
Other people believe that euthanasia should only be practiced when someone has the capability of making sound decisions. Religious groups and other groups that are against euthanasia believe that embracing the practice would vest a lot of power to the doctors, therefore, affecting the trust of the patients (Mintz, 2019). The team believes that there is appropriate palliative care, thus reducing the need to perform euthanasia. In some cases, the patients may be pressured by the friends, the doctors, or even the family members to request for the practice what might be against the wish. Others argue that embracing the practice would demoralize the teams committed to research and develop new treatments and cures for the diseases. Additionally, euthanasia would reduce the commitment of the nurses and doctors in saving lives.
People supporting euthanasia believe that people should be given the right to make decisions on how to die and when to die. They believe that practicing euthanasia will help control the situations of people and allow them to have a dignified death. Additionally, the group argues that the state should not interfere with an individual decision concerning death since it is a separate issue. Euthanasia is also seen as a way of reducing the cost of treatment. The group believes that the cost of treating diseases that have no cure could be saved by the practice, thus diverting the resources to save more people who are suffering from curable diseases. In addition to this, the act would protect the friends and the families the pain of watching their dear ones suffer for a long time (Jones, Gastmans, & MacKellar, 2017). They, therefore, argue that the same ways the community allow animals to be put to death when they are sick as a way of showing kindness the same way human beings should be prevented from suffering. Until today, the ethicality of euthanasia has not come into a clear agreement, although some states have legalized the practice.
Ethical Egoist opinion.
The issue of euthanasia requires examination of the practice to determine the total benefit of the action. Ethical egoism, may result in an individual decision to die after cons.

Ethnic Politics and
State Power in Africa
The Logic of the
Coup-Civil War Trap
and…
Conundrum!!!!!
Ethnic Pol. & State Power in Africa: Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
Philip Roessler asks fundamental questions:
• Why are some African countries trapped in vicious
cycles of ethnic violence and others not?
• What causes civil wars in some African countries?
(p. i)
In relation to the civil war issue, he argues that:
• Successful or unsuccessful bargaining over power is
at the center of the equation;
• Successful or unsuccessful bargaining over power is
much more important in these equations than
issues of poverty, inequality, land conflicts,
corruption, etc. (p. xv)
In other words, for Roessler,
• Traditionally, analysts have seen civil wars as a
consequence of the need to forge order and peace
out of anarchy;
• Yet, competition for the control of the central
government has been surprisingly marginal in the
analysis of the causes of civil wars in Africa, yet he
believes that this is where we must look a little
more carefully if we are to understand those causes.
(p. xvi).
Ethnic Pol. & State Power in Africa: Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
Roessler focuses on the anarchic
conditions that arose in Africa with the
end of colonialism. According to him,
the end of colonization triggered:
•Fierce competition for the control of
the extractive institutions left behind
by the Europeans;
•This competition often played itself
out along ethnic lines (p. xvi)
Hence the following question:
How could these ethnic groups, in the
absence of absolute authority and
strong cross-cutting institutions (and
even economic alliances), forge a
political covenant (agreement) that
would allow them to govern the new
countries that they inherited?
Ethnic Pol. & State Power in Africa: Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
On the issue of power-sharing and coup d’états,
Roessler suggests that:
• Most leaders of the new African countries did
understand that they could not avoid sharing
power with other ethnic groups. However, this
realization came with a conundrum:
• When they decided to share power, they were
inevitably but also paradoxically giving rival groups
the ability to seize power in a coup.
• And, this, in turn automatically created a coup-civil
war trap, which took effect immediately after the
withdrawal of colonial powers.
• The Cold War (1946-1991) that was triggered after
World War II then worsened this situation by
creating permanent conditions of political
instability through support to such or such other
group, either by the United States and its Western
European allies, or by the Soviet Union and its
Eastern European and Asian allies (p. xvi)
The civil war conundrum, thus, represents the direct
consequence of a strategic choice by rulers with an
ethnic base of supporters to use such an ethnic base
to coup-proof their regimes from ethnic rivals.

Ethics, Corporate Responsibility, and Sustainability
Leaders are in positional power throughout organizations. Today's news is full of stories in which corrupt leaders are engaged in a variety of ethical transgressions. An abuse of power has the potential to impact all organizational stakeholders. So how do leaders rise above and establish themselves as ethical? Leaders must create and foster an environment in which everyone is treated with trust and mutual respect. Leaders have an impact on how their followers behave and what they achieve individually and organizationally. Ethical leadership is a consistent commitment.
Week 4 Learning Objectives
• Identify the characteristics that contribute to leader effectiveness.
• Explain what people want and organizations need from their leaders.
• Describe how different ethical perspectives guide decision making
• Explain how leaders influence their ethics environment
• Summarize the important issues around corporate social responsibility.

Ethics in Practice Whistleblower – An Ethical Dilemma A whistl.docx
Ethics in Practice: Whistleblower – An Ethical Dilemma
A whistleblower, by definition, is someone who brings an unethical, immoral, or illegal business practice to the public’s attention. Whistleblowers have a difficult time in doing this, and they often find their lives changed because of their actions. Sometimes they are shunned and receive death threats. It is common for the family members to feel the effects of a whistleblower’s behavior.
Dr. Jeffrey Wigand became one of the best-known whistleblowers after his experience was turned into a movie, The Insider. He proved that tobacco companies were deliberately boosting the nicotine content of cigarettes, making them more addictive and cancer causing. However, like other whistleblowers, he suffered from tremendous stress and received death threats and other forms of intimidation for doing the right thing.
How did Dr. Wigand show moral intelligence in this situation? Jeffrey Wigand put his economic future as well as coworkers and his family at risk to expose the tobacco companies. Would you have done the same thing?

Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and sta.docx
Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and stakeholders use to determine whether the program is successful. Success is determined by multiple parameters such as financial viability of the program as well as the administrative and clinical impact of the program on the community’s or organization’s mission. Today’s programs are also expected to proactively address healthcare disparities and inequities in all levels of communities and demonstrate measureable reductions in inequities in diverse patient/client populations.
For this milestone, you will create an evaluation plan that will include the financial aspects of your proposed program as well as your evaluation methods. In your submission, be sure to include the following:
Proposed Program :to establish a department in IGM to facilitate holistic care of pediatric patients. This holistic care will require patients to be monitored before, during, and after a clinical procedure. The program will be flexible to ensure that each patient receives customized care at a subsidized fee.
Financial Aspects
o What specific resources would you suggest for use in your program? For example, what staffing and equipment suggestions would you make?
Be sure to explain your rationale.
o What is the impact on the community’s or organization’s current budget? In other words, will the program fit into the existing budget, or willconcessions need to be made?
o What recommendations would you make for ensuring the program is financially sustainable? Are there measurable expense reductions for the community/organization that cover the costs of the program? Does the program create new sources of revenue for the community or organization to offset the costs of the program?
Evaluation
o What will you measure (such as benchmarks, patient outcomes, or other measurable data) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation? Focus on both administrative and clinical measures. Include multiple levels of measurement, including the patients/clients served, populations of patients/clients served, and community environmental measures.
o What tools will you use to measure the effect of your program on reducing the incidence of healthcare disparities?
o How will these evaluation tools tell you whether the program is successful?
o To what extent will the program help ensure healthcare equity across diverse populations? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper for this milestone must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA formatting. Include at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

Abstract
Neurofeedback (NF) is gaining recognition as an evidence-based intervention grounded
in learning theory, and 19-channel z-score neurofeedback (19ZNF) is a new NF model.
Peer-reviewed literature is lacking regarding empirical-based evaluation of 19ZNF. The
purpose of this quantitative research study was to evaluate the efficacy of 19ZNF, in a
clinical setting, using archival data from a Southwest NF practice, with a retrospective
one-group pretest-posttest design. Each of the outcome measures framed a group such
that 19ZNF was evaluated, as it relates to the particular neuropsychological constructs of
attention (n = 10), behavior (n = 14), executive function (n = 12), as well as
electrocortical functioning (n = 21). The research questions asked if 19ZNF improves
these constructs. One-tailed t tests performed, compared pre-post scores for included
clinical assessment scales, and selected quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG)
metrics. For all pre-post comparisons, the direction of change was in the predicted
direction. Moreover, for all outcome measures, the group means were beyond the
clinically significant threshold before 19ZNF, and no longer clinically significant after
19ZNF. All differences were statistically significant, with results ranging from p = .000
to p = .008; and effect sizes ranging from 1.29 to 3.42. Results suggest 19ZNF improved
attention, behavior, executive function, and electrocortical function. This study provides
beginning evidence of 19ZNF’s efficacy, adds to what is known about 19ZNF, and offers
an innovative approach for using QEEG metrics as outcome measures. These results may
lead to a greater acceptance of 19ZNF, as well as foster needed additional scientific
research.

Evaluate assumptions and premises used in developing marketing strategy:
(add some introduction of 7-8 lines on marketing strategy)
1) Adjusted the sales force depending on when it increased in the market and we used consumer shopping survey to understand where the customers like to purchase (10-11lines)
2) Due to our high price in the market and the inflation increasing… we didn’t change our prices and further decreased by few cents……. But later as we were going into loss in this inflation period, we increased our prices but kept them reasonable compared to our competitors. (reasons and add few more relevant points to make it big)
3) Advertising- initially we concentrated on aches and chest congestion. Write about targeting audience
4) Brand relevance:
5) Consumer feedback.. coupons…
6) Attractive tagline:
7) Easy to find….(few lines)…. Changed the packing- got positive reviews from customers
8) Introducing new products: a) Allround: aches, chest congestion
b) Allroundplus: nasal congestion, aches, allergy symptoms, runny nose(introduced in 4th year)
c) Allright
9) we took the decision to drop alcohol for children and young adults…. Non-drowsy and can driving safe
10) introduced 12hr multi symptom relief: instead of using tablet every 2hr or 4 hrs… it works for a long time.. less hectic, easy to carry and for journeys.

Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing. Euthanasia can be des.docx
Euthanasia is also known as mercy killing. Euthanasia can be described as the act of putting a person to death painlessly. The practice mostly happens when an individual is suffering from a disease that is incurable and so painful, a physical disorder which is damaging, by withholding the treatments and also by removing the artificial measures put in place to support life.
The practice has been supported by various groups, while others have firmly stood against the practice. For instance, some religious groups believe that practicing euthanasia would kill the value as well as the respect that society has for human life (Bekos, 2019). There have been controversies on euthanasia between religion and morality. Some people are for the idea that euthanasia is the same as murder and is unacceptable.
Other people believe that euthanasia should only be practiced when someone has the capability of making sound decisions. Religious groups and other groups that are against euthanasia believe that embracing the practice would vest a lot of power to the doctors, therefore, affecting the trust of the patients (Mintz, 2019). The team believes that there is appropriate palliative care, thus reducing the need to perform euthanasia. In some cases, the patients may be pressured by the friends, the doctors, or even the family members to request for the practice what might be against the wish. Others argue that embracing the practice would demoralize the teams committed to research and develop new treatments and cures for the diseases. Additionally, euthanasia would reduce the commitment of the nurses and doctors in saving lives.
People supporting euthanasia believe that people should be given the right to make decisions on how to die and when to die. They believe that practicing euthanasia will help control the situations of people and allow them to have a dignified death. Additionally, the group argues that the state should not interfere with an individual decision concerning death since it is a separate issue. Euthanasia is also seen as a way of reducing the cost of treatment. The group believes that the cost of treating diseases that have no cure could be saved by the practice, thus diverting the resources to save more people who are suffering from curable diseases. In addition to this, the act would protect the friends and the families the pain of watching their dear ones suffer for a long time (Jones, Gastmans, & MacKellar, 2017). They, therefore, argue that the same ways the community allow animals to be put to death when they are sick as a way of showing kindness the same way human beings should be prevented from suffering. Until today, the ethicality of euthanasia has not come into a clear agreement, although some states have legalized the practice.
Ethical Egoist opinion.
The issue of euthanasia requires examination of the practice to determine the total benefit of the action. Ethical egoism, may result in an individual decision to die after cons.

Ethnic Politics and
State Power in Africa
The Logic of the
Coup-Civil War Trap
and…
Conundrum!!!!!
Ethnic Pol. & State Power in Africa: Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
Philip Roessler asks fundamental questions:
• Why are some African countries trapped in vicious
cycles of ethnic violence and others not?
• What causes civil wars in some African countries?
(p. i)
In relation to the civil war issue, he argues that:
• Successful or unsuccessful bargaining over power is
at the center of the equation;
• Successful or unsuccessful bargaining over power is
much more important in these equations than
issues of poverty, inequality, land conflicts,
corruption, etc. (p. xv)
In other words, for Roessler,
• Traditionally, analysts have seen civil wars as a
consequence of the need to forge order and peace
out of anarchy;
• Yet, competition for the control of the central
government has been surprisingly marginal in the
analysis of the causes of civil wars in Africa, yet he
believes that this is where we must look a little
more carefully if we are to understand those causes.
(p. xvi).
Ethnic Pol. & State Power in Africa: Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
Roessler focuses on the anarchic
conditions that arose in Africa with the
end of colonialism. According to him,
the end of colonization triggered:
•Fierce competition for the control of
the extractive institutions left behind
by the Europeans;
•This competition often played itself
out along ethnic lines (p. xvi)
Hence the following question:
How could these ethnic groups, in the
absence of absolute authority and
strong cross-cutting institutions (and
even economic alliances), forge a
political covenant (agreement) that
would allow them to govern the new
countries that they inherited?
Ethnic Pol. & State Power in Africa: Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
On the issue of power-sharing and coup d’états,
Roessler suggests that:
• Most leaders of the new African countries did
understand that they could not avoid sharing
power with other ethnic groups. However, this
realization came with a conundrum:
• When they decided to share power, they were
inevitably but also paradoxically giving rival groups
the ability to seize power in a coup.
• And, this, in turn automatically created a coup-civil
war trap, which took effect immediately after the
withdrawal of colonial powers.
• The Cold War (1946-1991) that was triggered after
World War II then worsened this situation by
creating permanent conditions of political
instability through support to such or such other
group, either by the United States and its Western
European allies, or by the Soviet Union and its
Eastern European and Asian allies (p. xvi)
The civil war conundrum, thus, represents the direct
consequence of a strategic choice by rulers with an
ethnic base of supporters to use such an ethnic base
to coup-proof their regimes from ethnic rivals.

Ethics, Corporate Responsibility, and Sustainability
Leaders are in positional power throughout organizations. Today's news is full of stories in which corrupt leaders are engaged in a variety of ethical transgressions. An abuse of power has the potential to impact all organizational stakeholders. So how do leaders rise above and establish themselves as ethical? Leaders must create and foster an environment in which everyone is treated with trust and mutual respect. Leaders have an impact on how their followers behave and what they achieve individually and organizationally. Ethical leadership is a consistent commitment.
Week 4 Learning Objectives
• Identify the characteristics that contribute to leader effectiveness.
• Explain what people want and organizations need from their leaders.
• Describe how different ethical perspectives guide decision making
• Explain how leaders influence their ethics environment
• Summarize the important issues around corporate social responsibility.

Ethics in Practice Whistleblower – An Ethical Dilemma A whistl.docx
Ethics in Practice: Whistleblower – An Ethical Dilemma
A whistleblower, by definition, is someone who brings an unethical, immoral, or illegal business practice to the public’s attention. Whistleblowers have a difficult time in doing this, and they often find their lives changed because of their actions. Sometimes they are shunned and receive death threats. It is common for the family members to feel the effects of a whistleblower’s behavior.
Dr. Jeffrey Wigand became one of the best-known whistleblowers after his experience was turned into a movie, The Insider. He proved that tobacco companies were deliberately boosting the nicotine content of cigarettes, making them more addictive and cancer causing. However, like other whistleblowers, he suffered from tremendous stress and received death threats and other forms of intimidation for doing the right thing.
How did Dr. Wigand show moral intelligence in this situation? Jeffrey Wigand put his economic future as well as coworkers and his family at risk to expose the tobacco companies. Would you have done the same thing?
