Joseph L Badaracco’s article “The Discipline of Building Character” discusses three cases in the workplace setting when the manager’s are called upon to take difficult decisions. The decisions that they take involves something beyond the moral dilemmas which makes the decision making difficult. They are faced with two right courses of actions out of which they must decide on one. In making these decisions, they are called upon to minimize or eliminate conflicts with their values or character, with the organization and with the society. In other words, the moments of the decision making are identified as ‘ ...

Writing a research proposal can be a daunting task if one fails to approach it in a well-prepared manner. In writing research proposals, there are major checkpoints that need to be considered to ensure that the set objectives in the proposal are met. They include: Defining the problem and understanding the context, researching and consulting with experts, and synthesizing and communicating (Schutt, 2015).

The fundamental reason people join trade unions is to get the opportunity to fight against the greed of Capitalism. Left to entrepreneurs and members of the elite, everything will be turned into a tool for their personal enrichment to the detriment of the greater good in society – like welfare, workers and other stakeholders. In line with this, trade unions play a significant role in limiting Capitalist greed. In spite of this, trade unionism is declining and fewer young people are willing to join these unions in all major countries around the globe. The purpose of this letter is to ...

These individuals, especially nurses, are required to provide healthcare needs to patients. Thus, nursing models and theories are established for the purpose of advancing the discipline and addressing issues ...

I found the role of the internet in conducting fast and cost-effective marketing research very much interesting. More importantly, tracing the consumer’s online buying behavior and suggesting recommendations for them from time to time as practiced by online retail giants like Amazon.com amazed me. Also, the concept of mobile marketing by adopting the GPS technology to locate the buyers and send them information about the special offers for the day is quite appealing. I also found the concept of relationship marketing more interesting. The interrelationship between all the stakeholders is the key for the success of any business ...

1.0. Introduction Gone the days when merely price tag and quality were the main determinants of the buying decision for any consumer. Today’s consumer based on growing awareness is much more concerned about the ethical status of the tools and methods utilized to produce, handle, and deliver a product or service. This emerging category of judgmental customer has also influenced the theoretical background as well as several practical considerations in the domain of business.

Diversity can be described as the sum total of all individual attributes within an organization (Binder et al., 2008). It is therefore the case that the foundational basis for the diversity is dependent on an individual’s background, culture, and perception. Consequently, it is critical that I undertake a personal evaluation based on my background, culture, and perception so as to have a conscious idea within the wider construct of diversity in my organization. Having been brought up in a contemporary middle class family, I never had to endure extreme struggles as is the case with some of the ...

Q1 Based on the best quote, “Take whatever idiot they have at the top of whatever agency and give me a better idiot Give me a caring idiot, give me a sensitive idiot, just don’t give me the same idiot” by the president of the Jefferson Parish, Aaron Broussard and the words from James Lee Wit that states “we promised to make an agency that could deliver on the political promises” (Cooper & Block, 2006). This suggests that FEMA was expected to provide the best services that were related to homeland security, for instance dealing with disaster, Hurricane Katrina ...

When it comes to the term coercion, there are usually negative connotations mentioned and covered. Indeed, to coerce someone is to be perhaps punitive and harsh when it comes to leveraging someone to comply with a preference or directive. However, there are some areas of concern and discussion where the usual shades of black and white when it comes to coercion instead fade to shades of gray. For example, if a person charged with a crime is clearly guilty but is not pleading to that effect, they can be offered a plea deal or told that the death penalty ...

Introduction

The book “Entangled Empathy: An Alternative Ethic for Our Relationships with Animals" by Lori Gruen provides a precise view of the nature of ethics in regard to the treatment of animals. In the book, Gruen presents empathy as an important tool for conflict resolution amongst animals and humans as well as within the human relationships. The presentation involves a critique of the way scientists have approached the observation of animals in the past. This has been defined as a detached approach which Gruen points out as a major limiting factor for their ability to understand the different behaviors of ...

Federalism in the United States has evolved over the past 200 years from an arrangement where state and national government powers and responsibilities were clearly distinct and separate, to one in which the line of distinction between the two has blurred. When the framers drafted the Constitution, they provided separate powers to the federal government in Article One. A few of these clauses extended the power of the national government in order to prevent the hazards faced by the Articles of Confederation. In order to ensure that limitations still existed on the federal government, the Tenth Amendment was included. ...

Humans have introduced new changes from a geological perspective such as the production of roughly 300m metric tons of plastic each year . The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) is the organ that decides the age or the time period that we live in . The process of ...

Section 1: Basic Concepts Concept of the Cloud The IT term “ cloud” is short for two related concepts. For the man on the street, it can just mean the internet and that is acceptable1. For the IT initiate, it would be “cloud computing” which is the delivery of on-demand computing services (e.g. applications) to clients via the internet from server farms of the service provider. These services are applications and databases which reside in the vendor’s various locations unknown to the customers. Google and Facebook are there in the cloud.

While language is specific to humans, because this race is the only one capable of speaking due to its physical construction, communication is common to all other animals, regardless of species (Yule, 1996). Communication does not require words, but body language, signs, behaviors, etc., which transmit information, often unintentionally. On the other hand, language consists of sounds and syllables that shape an intentional information sharing process (Yule, 1996). Language is characterized by: displacement (the capacity of speaking about past, present and future), arbitrariness (the form of human language), productivity (the creativity to utter endless utterances), cultural transmission (passing ...

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

Abstract Encountering the information about a crime, we tend to find out the allegedly basic issues concerning one’s guilt and the accountability of an offender in the form of just punishment. Such approach is not an exception or a rare case, instead – it is an overwhelming thought. However, in fact, the committing of a crime is far more complicated issue than the mere interrelation between illegal act and inevitable punishment. Nevertheless, people are still likely to neglect the accomplishments of restorative justice as one of incomprehensible novelties. Therefore, this paper is dedicated to the revealing of the truth ...

When defining media violence, one should keep in mind the ideas like; the aims of media violence that are; do they point at passion or retaliation?

In most cases, the process of determining whether a project has been successful or not is not an easy task. I think that the Austin Hill project was successful because the institution conducted an extensive needs assessment to establish some of the needs and preferences of the students at the institution. Furthermore, the objectives, which include the construction of a computer lab, were achieved at the end of the project. Through input from the students, the institution was able to construct a computer lab that was capable of meeting the students’ need for using computers. Essentially, the project achieved ...

The acceptance of this differs from one person to the other, an aspect that shows a different way of observing the concept of one’s life. Nurses must ...

Introduction

Postmodernism came to be in the 1950’s and began as an offshoot of the previously accepted modernist ideology (Stern 72). The main argument made in this paper is that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This argument portrays architecture as a dynamic field, with the advancement of knowledge and technology shaping the outlook of the architects of a particular period. Postmodernism can, therefore, be perceived as an attempt by the architects to challenge the status quo in regards to architectural practice while meeting the ...

Overview Businesses operate within the community, which includes the people they employ, the consumers, and the policy formulators. It is important for businesses to market the idea of being a good citizen by exhibiting community-minded behavior. This makes the concept of corporate citizenship an important consideration for many businesses. Corporations are considered paper citizen and in that view, every citizen has a responsibility to fellow citizens. Corporate citizenship is an important managerial and strategic factor that crafts an instrumental view of the relationship between business and society (Carroll & Shabana, 2010). Big corporates in the world today are becoming more ...

Introduction

In the modern age of corporation, businesses tend to expand their operational reach through a penetration in newer markets. The penetration requires effective teamwork and deployment of limited resources in order to achieve the long-term objectives. The corporate objectives are achieved through an execution of multiple and temporary activities called projects. These projects are different in nature, size, and resource allocation. An effective and timely completion of these plan-oriented activities requires a systematic framework, prominently known as “Project Management”. The Project Management is based on nine key elements that define purpose, approaches, requirements, and execution of the discipline. This ...

Question #1 What are some possible negative outcomes of having replaced older electromechanical controls with computerized and digitalized controls? Before the era of computerized and digital controls, electromechanical controls were widely used. The switch from electromechanical controls to the computer and digital controls were motivated by the advantages the latter controls offered. For example, computerized and digitized controls not only offer a greater flexibility but also the ability to reprogram them dynamically when there is a need to change utility operation characteristics (Willis, 2004). Despite their disadvantages, computerized and digitalized controls have been found to play a key role ...

Introduction

Behavioral psychologists assert that human characteristics are normally distributed and view abnormality a significant deviation from the normal or average behavior (Carter & McGoldrick, 2013). Additionally, an abnormal behavior can be perceived as a socially unacceptable and maladaptive behavior that often results from distorted thoughts. In abnormal psychology, an individual’s emotional, cognitive, and behavioral attributes are examined. In this study, different ways of defining abnormality will be examined. Particularly, a case of a 70-year-old that enters university and started acting the same way as an 18-year-old student will be analyzed. Further, an example of a historic behavior that was ...

Introduction

Architecture as a discipline has evolved over time, with architects from different periods adopting unique approaches to architecture. In the 1950’s, the architectural world saw the introduction of the theory of the postmodern architecture . This came hot on the heels of the famous modernist approach to architecture, which had the support of various classical scholars and architects. The primary argument in this paper is the fact that the post-modernist approach to architecture was a representation of the effort by architecture to establish a voice of its own. This is built on the realization that architecture is a dynamic ...

Introduction

The African diaspora has resulted in a wave of “migration” of Africans from the African continent to other parts of the world. The main reason for this is the slave dispersal that moved Africans from Africa to America, the Middle East and even to the Far East. The dispersal that took place is thought to be one of the greatest forced migrations in the history of humankind (Britannia Academic: Slavery). There is always the ideology that all Africans, no matter where they find themselves around the world, are bound together by their traditional cultures and diasporic experiences. This paper ...

Living by the terms of a marriage contract is an essential aspect of maintaining a marital union from Christians’ perspective. In fact, lack thereof compromises the possibilities of both parties living in harmony. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that marriage contracts can be defined by specific characteristics. For instance, it is established for the benefit of both parties. According to Witte and Eliza (72), the idea of the initial covenant between God and the children of Israel defining the nature of their relationship applies in this marital scenario. As such, both the husband and ...

Many people set morally high standards for educated people. This is fundamentally because we are raised to believe that education makes people “ladies” and “gentlemen”. Hence, there are things that are considered to be “below” some of the most educated and elite people. In spite of this, there are many things that points that the reverse is true. One can hardly rationalize the reason why the most literate and most elite nation on earth, Germany perpetrated the Holocaust in the 1930s and 1940s. This paper argues that although education often leads to enlightenment, it does not necessarily equal to ...
