According to Peter Capelli, “52% of U.S. employers surveyed say they have difficulty filling positions because of talent shortages” (par. 10). However, at the time that The Wall Street Journal article was written the unemployment rate was around 9%. The writer explains further that American employers are still complaining about “talent shortages” because they would like to employ persons who do not require any “training or ramp-up time” (Capelli par. 10). These employers hardly hire anyone despite having an “abundance of workers to choose from” (Capelli par. 10). The unwillingness of U.S. employers to hire ...

Introduction
Discrimination implies judging individuals by their ability/disability statuses, race, gender, sexuality, age, and religion as opposed to their competence levels. People may apply for jobs where they are the best-qualified candidates. However, they could fail to get these jobs because of the HR’s discriminative practices. Such form of practice is authentic discrimination. This case study describes one such instance as follows.
In July 2015, a large health care facility lost a case in the settlement of a disability discrimination suit filed by one of its employees (named Ms. X hereafter for confidentiality) through the U.S EEOC. The ...

According to the Associated Press, there were more poor people residing in the state of Washington in 2013 compared to the previous year. This was the case despite the poverty levels remaining steady “across the nation” (Le par. 1). In addition, the United Way has recently revealed in a “comprehensive report” that “1 in 3” Washington households “struggle financially” (Hobbs pars. 1, 22). The experts have arrived at their own conclusions as to why that it is currently the case in the state. However, even though the cause of poverty in Washington State has ...

According to Christopher Bader, Joe Baker and Frederick Carson Mencken in Paranormal America: Ghost encounters, UFO sightings, Bigfoot hunts, and other curiosities in religion and culture (2011) research shows that “more than 2/3 of Americans have paranormal beliefs with this being manifested in their penchant for movies with paranormal themes. This statistic is not alarming since evidently the paranormal and the supernatural have been a part of human culture since the beginning of time. In fact, in most religions paranormal experiences are either commonplace, or show up without alarm to the persons practicing that particular religion. While persons without ...

Alfredo Albondigas is obviously a mentally disturbed man. The inmate could be suffering from psychosis or other related psychological disorders. The mental imbalance might have been brought about by drug and substance abuse. With the known prison background and environment, use of drugs such as Marijuana, heroin, crystal methyl, LSD and others is rampant. Alternatively, Mr. Albondingas might be suffering from acute depression leading to the meltdown. Mental disturbance from the environmental effects of prison trauma and stress could induce delirious hallucinations. Other possible mental states that could be influencing the behavior could be Peduncular hallucinosis and primarily schizophrenia. ...

Therefore, the independent variables are the educational program adopted (PECS and conventional teaching program), environmental ...

The moral point of view refers to people’s perspective on an issue based on whether the issue is deemed morally applaudable or morally right or wrong. So it involves the resolutions or laws created based on a larger perspective about what is right or wrong, one that affects or impacts more than merely one person, and therefore doesn’t take a person’s self-interest into account. The point of view can be identified by two characteristics: a best practice of deferring to reason; in other words, the resolutions should be the outcome of thoughtful sound reasoning, rather than ...

Introduction

The Refugee Convention of 1951 defines the term ‘refugee’ in words that are very much self-explanatory when it says that a refugee is an individual who “owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.”
The people who have to flee their homes and sometimes their countries face challenges that ...

The doctrine of the Trinity is unique to Christianity. It underpins Christian theology and is the most important doctrine of Christian faith and practice. The Trinity is difficult to explain and fully understand, as is to expected since we are human and can never truly understand the infinity and omnipotence of God. Yet, the Trinity is vital to Christian faith as it represents the nature of God, and it affirms the existence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
According to Exodus 3:14 and Philippians 1:2, the Father is God, in John 8: 58 and Titus 2:13, we are told ...

Violent conduct within the workplace environment can be manifested in four different ways. In the first place, total strangers to the organization may intend to bring harm to employees within the organization. Secondly, customers or clients of the organization can also be a threat to the security of the organization. Thirdly, the violence may be exhibited from the very employees of the institution. Finally, all organizations face a threat of violence from outside persons who have a direct connection with one of its members or its workers and this threat could be in relation to a totally private dispute ...

Now, take a look at the global news as countries such as France and Belgium have tasted the horror that gripped the United States in 2001. It is clear that terrorists continue to wreak havoc on the whole world. These terrorist attacks occur all over the world and despite the fact that no attack has ...

The films that will be examined in this paper have much in common though, at the same time they consist of different aspects in their plots and picture different characters (Hayward 67). The main issue that unites all these films is the theme of obsession. The meaning of this word in films is the same, but considering each character, it may have slightly different understanding. Each character has different aims and values and they act according to them (Parkinson 109). Nevertheless, there is one common and the most important characteristic feature in their behavior. It influences their lives and ...

While much has been hypothesized regarding paranoia, it is of the essence to note that it mainly connotes to a condition whereby an individual develops a feeling of suspicion towards others. Precisely, persons suffering from paranoia tend to harbor the thoughts that other people are against them. In fact, paranoid individuals tend to think that other people intend to harm them (Sarkar et al., 2012). As a result, paranoia makes people develop certain behaviors aligned to being highly conscious. A reflection on the lives of every individual depicts the fact that at one time in life, an individual develops ...

For one to understand Michelle Alexander’s ideologies on the barriers that hinder the success of African-Americans, an exploration of her arguments is necessary. Accordingly, the author insists on the existence of a “rigid social stratification” that seeks to instill the values of white supremacy in the United States through the mass incarceration of colored persons (Alexander talk, par.1). Now, while the physical separation of whites and other racial groups is evident in the country’s present-day prison systems, the method is merely the latest invention by the supremacist Caucasians. Initially, in the antebellum period, the institution of slavery ...

With the changes in the American cultural and the movement across countries, America is experiencing global changes that have impacted on the language and the people in the country. These changes have brought about new languages that allow persons to speak more than one language. But what do these changes mean for the society? Being bilingual does not change the way in which people live and adjust to the norms in the society. Instead, bilinguals are able to communicate on different levels in the society and among different cultures. Bilingualism stems from the influx of immigrants to the American ...

The number of calories in a single can of soda or a single donut would surprise a number of persons, but many persons are unconcerned with the calorie count in their favorite fast food or snack. With each intake of these favorite snacks, children increase the likelihood of gaining excessive weight and of developing serious health related problems. The recent controversial debates on junk foods in schools has caused many persons to question the presence of junk in schools and the impact that this has on the lives of the younger population. Additionally, people worry about the nutritional value ...

Abstract
“Forensic science” is the applying of science to civil and criminal laws. “Forensic Scientists” assemble, conserve, as well as examine scientific proof throughout the way of an investigation. A few “Forensic Scientists” actually go out to the scene to gather the proof themselves; but rather engage a laboratory position, performing studies on subjects brought to their place by other people. Furthermore, “Forensic Scientists” give proof as unique observers in all cases and may work for either the resistance or the indictment. This paper will show the development of Crime Scene Investigation techniques and ...

Thesis Statement: Kantian ethics, as a utilitarian view, holds that man is the end of the act to be benefitted from instead of the means to achieve the goal.
One of the most denigrating crimes known to man, the trade in people is a crime that impacts the global community. Traffickers trick men, women, and children from almost every country and then “sell” them to traders looking to exploit their situation. Though the most prevalent form of human trafficking is for the illicit sex trade, others are sold into slavery, and even at times into syndicates ...

The Business of International Business is Culture

-Geert Hofstede

Views on the International Business Perspectives

International communication has been the research topic of various scholars and disciplines for several decades. The phenomena of globalization brought upon internationalization and growth of businesses, thus resulting into practicality and necessity of it. Due to the increase in business opportunities’ number beyond the borders of their own country, numerous organizations choose to extend their activities abroad frequently without understanding that the prospective financial growth can result into disastrous conditions because of the inappropriate communication with the individuals from the other countries.
One of the typical misconceptions among the executives of the enterprises is that business communication ...

Present day education systems of the United States of America are subject to racially diversified college classrooms that are significantly different from the classes that existed by the second half of the twentieth century. The notable change is the outcome of “affirmative action” that became law under the Executive Order 11246 courtesy of President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. As per the terms of the executive order, publicly funded companies could not discriminate based on any traits including skin color, gender, and religion. In the end, the action sought to serve two purposes: make efforts to allocate equal opportunity for ...

As we know about many Southerners, the social class segregation was intense and those who believed that they were in a more prominent social position in the society treated the minority groups with unhuman nor respect. Flannery O’Connor is one of the numerous writers who have influenced the treatment of the minority groups in her society. In addition, O’Connor brings to life the way people continue to abuse religion as a tool for show the negative treatment of “others” in the society. Mrs. Turpin like many other white privileged persons in the old South, reveal hasher contempt ...

Human sexuality refers to the capacity for one to have sexual feelings. It can be expressed in differently including same-sex relationships, heterosexual interactions and even relationships among different partners. The form of sexuality one follows is guided by their life teachings and influences by culture, global interaction, and religion. These factors determine how one would choose to live their life. Over time sexuality has changed especially in the past century. Freedom to express one’s sexuality has increased, and people are more willing to transform due to reduced fear of persecution and reproductive limitations. This paper will explore the ...

This term includes the repeated use of drugs for pleasure, stress alleviation or reality alteration as well as the use of prescription medicines in other ways than prescribed (NIDA, 2014). Substance abuse and addiction can lead to potentially fatal diseases such as lung disease, HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and hepatitis (Marsiglia et al., 2014). People who ...

“Many newspapers, magazines and television programmers make money by reporting on the private lives of public figures such as politicians, sports personalities and entertainers. While the media’s right to freedom of expression should be defended, the media should not intrude into people’s private affairs.” To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement above?
After the growth of media in the twentieth century, people who had earned name and fame have always been in the center of the media receiving the attention of the medias and the public. The media whereby the public figures and ...

“At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is worst”—Aristotle
The above statement made by Aristotle emphasizes the significance of law and justice in not only maintaining order, but also help to affirm the nobility and distinction of human beings. In Thrasymachus’s account of justice, the philosopher presents his argument that different individuals and different states perceive the concept of justice differently. For the purposes of this essay, I will be focusing on 377a and 344e, while paying special attention to 338d-339a, 338a-339d, and 343b-344c. ...

Measles, a viral disease, has been established to be highly contagious mainly characterized by body rashes. The causative agent responsible for measles infects the mucous membrane then spreads out to other parts of the body. The condition can, however, be prevented by the use of vaccination.

Abstract

The topic of 'Making Fun of Americas Drinking Age Being Too High' is a fascinating topic that needs immediate attention. The idea of minimum drinking age in America is a controversial issue. The U.S. has a law that allows people who are twenty-one and above to consume alcohol. On the contrary, there are a large number of underage drinkers. Some thinkers feel that this law is going a mile in reducing the number of alcoholics in America. On the other hand, some strategists advocate for the need of lowing the minimum drinking age. The county needs to emulate other ...

Indisputably, mental illnesses are almost in every society and can affect any person irrespective of age, gender, or income group. These diseases have profound impacts on social, economic, and cultural life, and are highly prevalent throughout the world (Vanderplasschen et al., 2013). According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness statistics, the population of adults in Americans with mental illness approximates to 61.5 million in any given year (Reserved, 2016). Mental illness disrupts the normal feelings and thinking, resulting in reduced individual capacity to cope with normal life.

Neoliberalism is both an economic and political ideology which proposes a new way in which states are restricted from interfering with the economic affairs and general day to day dealings of their private citizens. This concept was developed by Adam Smith in 1770 when he posited that government should not be allowed to be involved in the economy of the country and initially it was called liberalism. This stance borrowed heavily from the laissez faire principle which required that traders should be let free to negotiate their own terms of engagement. Adam’s conception was challenged in ...

Generating profits from products made through the use of asbestos is unethical. Organizations have a responsibility to guarantee the safety of employees. Secondly, it is unethical to knowingly expose an employee to a harmful chemical. Employees have a right to a workplace environment that does not lead to safety issues. Recklessness and disregard for the safety of employees mean that corporations are only interested in profits but not the life and safety of employees. Furthermore, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) engage in unethical practice by trying to stop victims from being compensated. My argument is ...

Most persons will reflect on their lives and think of the happy moments that has made them who they are. In fact, for the average person, life is a bit simpler. But for me, life has not always been happy or exciting or filled with comfort. Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to have a profession that helped people. I always volunteered in charity services, or whatever else that would contribute to the care of others. But, my life took a different turn when I turned seventeen. Most persons would look at pregnant seventeen years ...

India’s work on introduction of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities or UNCRPD in the year 2007 is a significant step because it helped in attracting the attention towards the rights of individuals having disabilities.

Attitudes are the most significant barriers for making rights of individuals certain. There are two models on the basis of which disability can ...

Nursing: Benchmark Assignment - Medicare Part D

Introduction
This assignment examines a healthcare policy, which could be changed based on the way it functions currently. From my research Medicare part D legislation aligns with this category for consideration. However, before advancing my arguments it would be clarifying to recap on features of the entire Medicare policy and how it serves the interests of persons beyond age 65 years old along with young disabled persons. This policy was instituted to provide healthcare coverage for legal United States residents who have attained the age of 65 years old. They must be in legal status at least 5 years ...

Thesis Statement: Although progressives responded to the ills of inner cities and working-class immigrants with significant reforms, they mostly failed to address the horrors of Jim Crow rule in the South.
The first set of reforms, which sought to curb the social problems that plagued the United States during the Progressive Era, revolved around an understanding of the communities as a key component in providing the necessary solutions. According to Eric Foner, part of the changes encompassed improving the democratic government by not only “weakening the power of city bosses” but also giving the ordinary citizens more influence on ...

The transgender policy was created through a comprehensive and inclusive process involving the leadership of all armed services, members of transgender services, medical experts, advocacy groups, and the Rand Corporation (Defense.gov, 2017). It was to serve members openly so that they may no longer be discharged, and isolated from the military because of being transgender people. Moreover, the policies were to be implemented in stages by addressing the needs of the present service members, commanders as well as the whole force, and ultimately, the forces were to recruit based on transgender.

I. Introduction
A corporation is a common type of business organization in which its owners have the ability to use it as a separate, and distinct legal entity. One of the primary differences between a corporation and other types of business organizations, such as a sole proprietorship or general partnership, is that a duly formed corporation is, legally a person. Moreover, under the law, a corporation is a legal person who the owners, in essence, can control and direct to carry out a range of activities. To be sure, corporations are deemed to have a personality or personhood, including ...

The positive aspects of Booker T. Washington’s position on the assimilation of blacks into the free communities of the United States revolve around his recognition of the rigid color line that existed at the time. Even with a Civil War tarnishing the nation’s history, traditions remained unchanged and white supremacy was the epitome of American cultural norms. To that end, Washington’s argument that persons of African descent ought to “cast down [their] bucket where [they were]” is perhaps the best advice anybody could have given the ex-slaves (1895, par.4). After all, the abolition of slavery not ...

An ever increasing number of people make use of airports on a daily basis. It is therefore inevitable that the level of security in the airports is much higher when compared to other areas and installations that do not experience as much traffic. As a result, a number of techniques have been devised to detect any potentially harmful objects and/or persons that may put the safety and security of the airport and its users as risk. It is especially the case given the rapid spread of the global terrorism phenomenon which has made air travel a primary target. It ...

I am like my brother in some ways and different in other ways. It is a natural phenomenon. No two persons can be alike albeit twins. This is the very beauty of nature that no two individuals share the exactly same characteristics. The very evidence of it is that finger prints of each and every person on the earth are different. However, it does not nullify the presence of resemblance between two or more individuals. Resemblance is basically based on genetics and sociological environment of persons which create their behaviour. Thus, it can be safely said that besides that ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

The English legal system is based on elements of the Christian Bible and its tradition. This comes with some moral concepts like lying about other persons and spreading false information.

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a critical analysis of the concept of defamation and how it relates to media law.

Sadness is a construct, and as such cannot exist alone; without happiness there is no sadness and vice versa. They are the yin and yang that propels human beings through life, with happiness being the goal, and sadness being the benchmark by which human beings can assess the progress toward their goals. Ancient Philosopher, Aristotle, who studied under Plato, student of Socrates, touts “happiness” as our raison d’être. He is supported by philosophers who taught after he did, by the United States Declaration of Independence which purports the pursuit of Happiness, and by the fleeting American Dream, which ...

In 1980, then presidential candidate, Ronald Regan, used the term “Make America Great Again” as a promise that, if elected, he would address the growing concerns of the American people who were living in an America wriggled with unemployment and inflation, and restore a sense of supremacy that appeared to be escaping them.
The struggles that the Americans were undergoing during that Regan 1980 run for president were not indicative of who Americans considered themselves to be; rather, masses of people felt marginalized and crippled because of low income or no income, and inflation suggested that as a collective ...

Problem Statement
Issues Affecting the Financial Sustainability of Life Care Communities
A life care community is a type of continuing care retirement community that offers nursing care, independent living, assisted living, and many other services for the persons who subscribe to the services. However, life care communities are not as popular as the senior housing services that have been available for years. The care communities require that a person pays a set deposit before being assigned the care or asylum (Raphael, Ahrens, & Fowler, 2001). The financial success of these organizations relies heavily on the efficiency of the management systems. ...

The Belmont Report was created in 1978 in response to the issues that were made evident from the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, and aimed to provide a number of guidelines to ensure the safety of human subjects during biomedical research (Sims, 2010). The purpose of the report is to protect humans that are involved in medical, nursing, and scientific research by giving guiding ethical principles about how to protect these subjects. The Belmont Report has three main principles, which are “respect for persons, beneficence, and justice” (Sims, 2010, p173). There are also three main practical approaches that should be used ...

Final Case: Health Care Ethics

Reason for the Case
The primary question regarding the case is to justify whether or not it is fair to deny anatomical gifts to someone who abstains from donating his or her own organ or tissue.

Summary of the Case

One of the representatives of the state of California prosed a law that aims to increase the organ and tissue donors in the state. This is due to thousands of patients who are waiting for organs, but the actual citizens who are willing to donate may not be sufficient to address the needs for tissue and organ transplantation. According to the draft bill, ...
