Description of the Problem

My community has developed a habit of ignoring their environment due to their careless attitude towards litter disposal. Despite the development and provision of the general dumping site, the community still does not utilize the dump site as provided by the governing body. This has led to the ugly nature of the community environment, and none of the stakeholders have developed an interest in solving the problem. This paper offers a description of the community problem of littering before offering a solution that will help alleviate the problem. Litter scattering within my community has currently formed part of the ...

Introduction: According to Thaden and Alyssa (2008), “human error is the main cause of flight accidents in complex systems. Therefore since errors are inevitable in the commercial airline industry, it is doubtful to assure safety on the air.” On the other hand, Mangla and Haress (2011) claim that - “air travel is the safest mode in the history of aviation.” Whose statement is reliable between them? In aviation, it is true that human error leads to accidents in the sky, but it is also true that for every accident that happens on the air, the airline company reviews their ...

Answer 1. The alternative work schedule proposed by the human resource director is unlikely yet thought-provoking. Its biggest strength from the firms' perspective is 24*7 operations as the organization required. For example, crew C and B would be working day and night respectively on the Sunday falling in the first week. Likewise, D and A would be working day and night respectively on Monday falling in the same week. The 28 days plan reveals that the plant worked both in days and nights. There is no overlapping and one crew works in one shift only. Also, there is ...

Introduction

In the early 20th century, there were hopes for a new, modern and developed era. With the development of industry, machinery and shipbuilding, people were waiting for something better and convenient for their life. Passenger liners to the "New world" were built together with people's hope for a new life. When the new liner appears, moreover with a reputation of being unsinkable, it is impossible that there would be such an unfair end.

"Unsinkable" Titanic – the ship that defied the higher powers, the miracle of shipbuilding and the largest ship of its time. The builders and owners of the ...

Moral Issues

The case raises the question of whether the companies’ policies on pregnancy and marriage amount to disparate treatment or intentional discrimination of some employees based on pregnancy, marriage, childbirth, and related medical/social impairments. Given that women in many societies bear the primary responsibility for child rearing, and are disproportionately more impaired by pregnancy, the requirement that they leave if they get pregnant may amount to sex-based discrimination. Ultimately, the policy may have a negative impact on the women’s labor force participation (even though this does not appear to be the case for these airlines). Lastly, the case raises ...

What moral issues does the case arise?

Qatar Airlines has been cited over the decades as one of the airlines with the strictest rules by International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and has mentioned that the company is a disgrace to the aviation industry for failing to honor labor rights for its female employees. Some of the controversy issues concerning the airline include its prohibition that the female crew should not get married or pregnant during their first five years of marriage. Furthermore, it is the moral rights of human beings to decide when to marry or get married whatsoever, and an employer should not restrict an ...

The Airline Deregulation Act is a United States federal law which was enacted in 1978 to remove the control the government had over fare, the routes and entry of new airlines. This left the passenger airlines exposed to the forces of the market in the airline industry. The Civil Aeronautics Board which was responsible for controlling entry, exit, the pricing of the airline services and addressing the consumer issues was phased out. This meant that the passenger airlines were only limited to competing only for food, the quality of the cabin crew and the frequency available. This caused a ...

Summary of Event

U.S. Airways Flight 1549 struck a at least two Canadian geese around 3:27 p.m. on January 15, 2009, after departing New York’s LaGuardia Airport headed to Charlotte, North Carolina. As a result, both engines on the plane lost thrust. The pilot notified air traffic controllers of the strike less than three minutes after takeoff, and an emergency was declared. As Captain Chesley Sullenberger communicated with air traffic control, he determined that he would be unable to turn the plane back to LaGuardia Airport and land safely. The captain made the decision to land the ...

Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Despite having the trappings of a hard sci-fi adventure story, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is a deeply humanist and spiritual film exploring philosophical and emotional issues in a complex way (Dean, 2015). Central to this are the concepts of bravery and sacrifice: as Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and the rest of his crew take great risks and travel vast distances to save humanity from a dying Earth, the characters all display varying aspects of the human condition, especially related to these very big, complex ideas. As the characters of Interstellar go about their mission and weigh the risks and rewards ...

Introduction

Almost all of the commercial airplane accidents that have been reported in the past are caused by human error which accounts for approximately 70% of the accidents (Griffin et al., 2015). Hence, it is important to appreciate the fact that human error is recently becoming a principal concern not only to flight operations but in the maintenance practices as well as air traffic control. The above concern has made the major airlines to employ human factor professionals who work closely with the engineers and pilots to embrace innovation on human performance as well as the airplanes to help enhance ...

Cause of Accident

The collision of two Boeing 747s i.e. KLM Flight 4805 (KLM) and Pan Am Flight 1736 (Pan Am) at Los Rodeos Airport in the 27th of March 1977, was a consequence of a series bad judgments and poor luck. The terrorist bombing of a passenger terminal at Las Palmas Airport led to closure of the airport, and the diversion of considerable traffic to Los Rodeos (Tenerife) Airport with inadequate capacity (notably parking and staff). The congestion led to the routine back taxing, which put the two aircrafts on the runway. Other important causal factors include:

Poor visibility

The rapid deterioration of ...

Abstract

The legal business environment, including laws and regulations formulated to control the conduct of business activities is one of the most important external factors that affect major commercial decisions by business organizations (Pathak, 2013, p. 96).

The time that I attribute a hip-hop dance is when I attended an overnight club with my friends. This type of music, as I learned is unique and invokes its own language, music, dance style and wardrobe styles respectively. Dancing hip-hop requires a closer integration of the body parts in order to invoke the right moves and meaning to the song. The dance complements the social and cultural background of the song, and as such the moves must perfectly complement the song and its historical artifacts. The first element of this dance involves popping, which includes a quick contraction ...

Based on the information in the article “10 Tough Truths About Leadership”, I consider 3 truths to be of paramount importance for leaders to understand and apply to their personal and professional lives. The first one is that “Great leaders aren’t liked very much” (Adams, 2012). Obviously, there are a lot of less successful and lucky people out there who would always show jealousy of other people's success and try to put a spoke in a leader’s wheel. Therefore, it if of crucial importance for a real leader to realize that he/she is likely to have adversaries ...

The scenario raises issues dealing primarily with consideration and variation of a contractual agreement.

Introduction

There is a very large difference in the price and operating economics of aircraft and this is only one aspect of several important factors that are absolutely vital for fleet planning. “Fleet commonality” and costs associated with it must be considered very carefully to obtain a better economic viewpoint of the way that cost effectiveness will impact the operations and eventual survival of the airline from an all encompassing point of view. Some carriers chose to have only a single type of aircraft for their airlines while others usually chose two or more types of aircraft to offer diversified services for ...

The glider designs of George Cayley and Otto Lilienthal were a far cry from the technological sophistication of space flight, and 19th-century designs established basic principles still present in the design of the space shuttle. Mechanization, which started with the Wright brothers, powered flight, giving substance to the age-old human dream of manned flight. War and the onset of commercial flight produced massive improvements in aeronautical design and logistical advances. In the modern era, the very concept of flight has taken mankind into space and inspired plans for manned space travel.

The American Homeland Security Act contains a provision to arm pilots of commercial airlines and gives the deputy pilot the authority to use lethal force in protecting the flight deck against terrorism and other criminal threats. This act was later extended to include the cargo pilots as well. During the debate over the law, the opponents viewed such program as risky and expensive and outweighed the potential benefits suggested (Thurman 48). The proponents, on the other hand, saw the potential benefits of thwarting criminal acts outweighing the presumed risks associated with arming the pilots. In the wake of the September.11 ...

Abstract

Accidents are an inevitable element of the air carriage industry; however, a good number of these could have been avoided given proper human resource management efforts. The task of these specialists is to recruit, to train, and to evaluate industry employees like pilots. Instead, they often overlook health issues and psychological disorders leaving the wellbeing and lives of passengers exposed to mortal threat. Owing to HR specialists’ miscalculations, pilots with insufficient qualification, those willing to ignore the guidelines of dispatchers and act carelessly received their coveted positions. The liberalization of workplace regulations did the industry an ill favor allowing individuals ...

There is always change taking place within the society and in every organization or firm in business. Dexter Dunphy (2011) calls this “a perfect storm of change” (p.6), which is said to be a “global situation of unprecedented urgency” (p.4). This becomes a crisis to the society, not unless the firm acts on its impulse, to take effective action that would successfully solve the issue being confronted. This leads to actions of sustainability for sustainability. It is these sustainable models and framework that will answer to the call of the changing environment, to prevent crisis from taking place in societies within the ...

The International Space Station, sometimes called the ISS for short, was first launched in 1998 (European Space Agency, 1999). Although this does not seem to be very long ago, it was seventeen years ago—almost before cell phone technology really took off around the world. As a result, the technology that was available in 1998 was very different from the technology that is available today; thus, there are many things on the International Space Station that have been upgraded or replaced since the International Space Station was first built in 1998 (European Space Agency, 2015). The ISS is indeed a marvel ...
