The debate on the liability of a product from an ethical position is a very controversial issue. Damages related to products are often a dilemma on who should take the responsibility. In the case of Mr. Shabeev, he did not perpetrate the attacks. However, he wrote the code that eventually led to the creation of the said virus. The virus, targeted towards Target Corp customers, caused irreparable damage not just to the company’s financial aspect but also its reputation as a trendsetter. While Mr. Shabeev could claim to have no dealings ion the actual attacks, he is solely responsible for the whole ...

Funding forms a critical aspect of public universities in terms of research and conducting learning. In the 1950s and 60s educated university students did protest concerning the Vietnam wars and other issues that were affecting America. With a high access to public funds, the universities and colleges could increase the intake of students. However, over the years the reduction in public funds has been construed to have an agenda. Courses on humanities such as sociology and philosophy play an essential role in shaping the minds of college students. Individuals can be able to reason critically and analyze everyday issues from clear ...

In the article Chicago Schools’ Financial Controls Assailed in Report, Caroline Porter discusses how mismanagement and inefficiencies are draining the cash strapped Chicago Public Schools (CPS). This is evidenced by the financial report that had been released for the fiscal year 2013.

In a particular instance, the report showed how a former technological worker had been suspected of embezzling more than $400000 from the schools. Consequently, Porter set out to identify the failure of management ...

Summary Critique

Education in colleges has become quite expensive in recent years. The federal government has provided loans to students to finance their college education. While the intention was to reduce the burden on the students and their families to enable them achieve their dreams but by no means least, at last, the whole system has turned out to increase the burden on the students and their families. This has left the students in a situation whereby they have been forced to recall their education or seek other methods by which they can fund their education. The reasons behind these predicaments have ...

The essay “Farm Girl”, written by Jessica Hemauer, is one that is full of wisdom and detail about a little girl growing up on a farm and how her time spent doing chores there has helped her to prepare for most of life’s great difficulties (Hemauer, 2011). She writes this essay with such experience and confidence in her knowledge and emotions while describing daily duties such as waking up at 5:00 a.m. at ten years old and “cleaning out various huts and pens.” This essay significantly describes the emotions and responsibilities in the life of a farm girl (Hemauer, ...

In 1947 The National Labor Relations Act of 1947 created the FMCS, or the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. This agency was independent and was created in part because of the labor chaos that came after WWII. Originally, it was created to help smooth labor relations, but one very important aspect of it was that it removed the role of labor mediation from the Department of Labor to itself.

Today this independent agency has the focus of preserving labor peace and also creating cooperation between labor-management relationships. They are headquartered in the nation’s capital, and have more than ...

Article Reflection

The article that will be reviewed is “Close Reading in Elementary Schools”. The article is about a qualitative research on close reading and how it can be adapted by elementary schools.

The hypothesis that is being tested is whether close reading is an appropriate instructional routine for elementary students. The research methodology used by the authors is the observation of teachers from different grade levels, who taught different subjects and who are willing to explore close reading. The results of the study reveal the key features that must be addressed if close reading is to be implemented in elementary ...

Upon the announcement of changes in the admission test of the Gifted and Talented programs by the New York City Education Department, several test preparation organizations started coming up with new preparatory content such as the NNAT 2 material by Bright Kids. In addition, many schools are also concentrating on altering their admission process such as a public school named Hunter which instead of allowing parents to choose a tester out of 16, lowered the choice of one out of four testers (Anderson, 2013).

The reason for changing the admission test exams by the New York City Education Department was mainly ...

Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that violent especially shooting video games have become most important leisure activity among youth. With the increasing praise for such games in media and public, these games have stimulated aggressive behavior and feelings of inattention towards friends and family as the users have perceived these animated characters as social beings and they are not actively involved in social activities. Apart from enjoyment and stimulation of aggressive behavior, youths feel no wrong in killing; rather they enjoy playing these games. However, very little research has been done to assess ...

Reflection as a student

As a student, this was quite a hard task to accomplish. First of all, it sought to look at an issue that could be considered to be abstract; an issue in which one understands it but it is quite hard to explain exactly what it is. It was confusing even to start on how to research and the kind of information to incorporate. More so, there was no much information on the same, which made the writing quite a problem.

Another challenge was that the issue looked to be somewhat philosophical. That is, there did not seem to be a right or wrong ...

The Title of the Article

The title indicates that the article is about morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. However, Chen fails to specify the aspect of morale and role strain that the article seeks to deal with in the title. For instance, the title would have been more specific if it were stated as follows: causes of morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. In this case, a reader would be able to tell that the article deals with the causes of morale and role strain. It therefore follows that the title of ...

Linda LW, writer and homeschooling parent of one child, asserts in her essay [1] that how the schooling system is unfriendly or ill-prepared for the gifted students. The author claims that since the gifted students have higher intelligence than the average student, the teachers and the education system set higher expectations from them. This higher expectation and improperly equipped schooling system becomes a threat to their performance despite them being gifted.
In the second section of the article, Linda tried to point out that how we set unrealistic expectations from these students. She claims that gifted students often have “ ...

Black and Female Reflections on Graduation School by bell hooks, it is clear that black female students, particularly her, had to deal with racial prejudice throughout their college life. From the essay, it is clear that white professors made life difficult for the black female students to such an extent they would ignore them in class and give discriminatory comments in class. At the time, it seemed as the worst mistake of a person’s life time to pursue a degree in English in white dominated universities in the United States of America. The worst was yet to come because finding ...

The "A Glimpse of Domestic Life in 1827" is a short story from the book called herencia. It is an excellent, unique well written story with superb writing styles. Actually I like the ancient stories myself and this has really made me enjoy reading it. This story addresses some crucial moral themes that are addressed in the world every day such as religion vs. the world and female chauvinism. I think this story should be used by students in small literature circles. The slightly obscure and nonlinear thread may evade some students who are trying to figure out the plot ...

Why MBA Programs Don’t Produce Leaders appeared in the Forbes online e-zine in October of 2011.

Master’s in Business Administration degrees comprises one fourth of the total number of master’s degrees being awarded each year. With such a high number of attendees compared to other master’s degree programs, students obviously seem to believe that they are gaining the skills that they need to be effective managers and leaders of today’s ...

However, during the 90's, most people wanted to work for startups, a situation that is quite different now. Today, people want to begin their own startups.

The state of writing in the U.S. has been on an upward trend for such a long time. The schools in this country have been under pressure lately to produce better readers and writers from their students. There has been increased lobbying by concerned parties on the need for schools and teachers in particular to be accountable for effective literacy instruction. The main reason for this need for public accountability is due to the increased dissatisfaction with literacy in schools. The trends in writing research, writing instruction and writing assessment have been changing ever since.

Jennifer Conlin, writer of “The Freedom to Choose Your Pronouns,” explores gender fluidity in teenagers and college aged students. She asserts that this is just another way teenagers are trying to go against the grain, but she also pairs this with showing that this is not just an American trend. During an interview, she recalls an individual’s example of gender fluidity by saying, “Maybe one day you wake up and feel more like a boy.” While this does not quite define the complexities of gender expression, it is one example that is easy for the general public to understand. ...

The article talks about how the different ethical perspectives in the most modern world have lead to different answers to many problems. It seems that everything can be justified using the modern ethical theories as promulgated by John Stuart Mills and Immanuel Kant. It is the approach, or the perspective of looking at the things that leads to a different answer every time. In other words, there is no definitive answer to the ethical dilemmas. For example, the author of the article cites the example of closure of General Motors plan in the United States of America. He states that ...

Their intention was to depict the role played by personal morals and emotions in encouraging or discouraging the vice of illegal downloading. According to Wang et al (2011, p.155), the authors hypothesised that a downloader who has previously engaged in illegal downloading may experience anticipated guilt because of their undesirable behaviour, and therefore will be less likely to engage in the same in future, unlike those who have had no illegal downloading experience. However, if the act of illegal downloading results in a positive experience for the downloader, in future this positive experience will override the anticipated guilt and thus will ...
