Essays on Bully

Sending a child to a school or a kindergarten, all parents expect their children to study there and to make friendship with the peers. The children are supposed to spend a lot of time in these establishments, so the school or the kindergarten must become a place the child likes and feels comfortable. But sometimes the parents can notice that instead of being happy, active, and excited about the time spent at school, children come home sad, depressed, and low-spirited. Of course, there may be thousands of reasons – bad marks, problems at school, illness or just a bad mood. ...

There has been an increase in the number of shootings in hospitals as well as other institutions around the country (Hospital Employee Health, 2013).

Introduction

In his seminal work, A History of the Nine Principles of Policing, Robert Peel of the London Metropolitan Police (LMP) mentioned two important principles of policing.

Further, an excellent level of value alignment facilitates the elimination of turnover behaviors including tardiness and absenteeism. Besides, as it was revealed by Bamford, Wong, and Laschinger (2013), value alignment leads to a motivation for superior performance. ...

Since 1998, Microsoft has been involved in an antitrust lawsuit filed by the European Commission. Microsoft was initially charged with failing to provide interface code that would see competitors peg into its Windows server software at a rational price. The European Commission claimed the prices for accessing the code were extortionate, and this led to non-compliance.
