The managers of public sectors are confronted by the dilemmas related to ethics because they effort to select options surrounded by the values set. Ethical problems might emerge from similarly alluring alternatives that may perhaps be defended as the right one in some circumstances (Ehrich, Cranston & Kimber, 2004). The starting of the twenty-first era has shown the profession of accountancy as the biggest challenge to continue. Such task highlighted the need for the profession to make stronger the self-assurance of public in its ethics plus efficiency (Onyebuchi, 2011). The scandals related to accounting that is found out frequently in ...

Reflection Paper

Holmes Rolston III: Pages 158-222 (Chapter 6 & 7) Rolston, in A New Environmental Ethics, provides a clear illustration that ethics needs to be ambitious in depth and breadth, practical and theoretical of its critique on traditional thinking methods yet connected and grounded to practical inquiries of wilderness protection, animal welfare, climate change and ecological restoration. Rolston provides a substantial difference between anthropocentrism as well as non-anthropocentrism. He defends, unapologetically the values of non-human animals and plants as well as other non-sentient life forms, ecosystems, species and the whole earth. He is forthright of his technique and the predicament of ...

INTRODUCTION

Throughout human history there has always been crime, from the most petty of crimes to the most heinous of criminal injury, abuses and murder. The most gruesome of crimes are those involving murder, whether premeditated or “heat of the moment,” which carry heavy criminal consequences. These cases are tragic, but no murders are more disturbing and shocking than those committed by serial murderers. These are killers who torture, dismember and murder victims in very specific and very ugly ways that are an extension of the killer’s needs. There have been many serial killers who have become famous for ...

Introduction

The wage gap has been a centre of discussion for past few decades and it seems it will remain a highly debatable topic; as the gap between males and females, and white men and females from other races is still persistent. Since 1996, the wage gap has narrowed, but women in the United States are still making only 79 cents for a dollar made by men (Kitroeff, 2016). The gap has narrowed in the last two decades as women have progressed in terms of workplace participation and education (AAUW, n.d.). In terms of races, the wage gap is greater ...

Question/Problem Definition

Equal pay is one of the most pertinent issues in labor laws and regulation. Most governments across the globe have institutionalized legislation that aim to safeguard their citizens and ensure that they are well compensated for their talents regardless of their origin, race, gender and other distinguishing characteristics. However, this is not usually the case. In spite of having such laws, the labor market especially the private sector is far from realizing and implementing equal pay. The state is even worse in developing countries where most women employees do not earn even half as much as their male counterparts ...

Trends in Healthcare Costs

Over the last three decades, the healthcare sector has grown rapidly. This has been necessitated by a growing population and their increasing demand for healthcare as well as the increasing complexity of illnesses presented within the healthcare sector. On the other hand, he globalization issues have also necessitated that the healthcare adapts to the needs of a more diverse population and hence growth (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2016). This growth has been tremendous and there is no doubt that the costs of care have been affected significantly. In the 1970s, the cost per individual was estimated at $356 but this ...

The healthcare system has been on a continuous process of change informed by the need to improve patient outcomes. The nurses are trained and prepared to manage patients based on their needs and the environment within which they pursue a livelihood. However, it is evident that despite a standardized curriculum having been adopted over time, there are varying differences across various healthcare facilities and institutions on how care is managed or delivered. The big question that one may ask is how these differences emanate while we have a curriculum and a code of ethics as well as scope of ...

Adopted Derivative and Function in the Financial Markets

Derivatives are important tools in the financial markets because they help reduce investment losses resulting from the fluctuating interest rates. For example, Societe Generale lost about $7 billion following the 2008 property market crisis, which could have been much higher if the company did not hedge its funds. Credited default swaps (CDS) or credit derivative contracts on mortgage-backed securities played a major role in the development of the housing bubble in the American property markets. The swipes were widely used to insure debts using subprime housing securities in the property markets. Swap derivatives can be defined as a series ...

Reaction 2: “Daddy, why you no longer play basketball?” It is not a secret that military services cause a great deal of grief and loss, especially for the members of the family, and it is the responsibility of social workers to help them in the disagreeable situations of the underlying level. Not surprisingly, the children face not only injuries of their fathers accompanied by either mental or physical circumstances, but also the lethal outcomes. Holmes’ article is dedicated to the investigation of the problems related to the experience of family members who encounter the visible and invisible injuries bearing ...

Decision making is very important in an organization, as it determines the level of success in an organization. In most cases, people wonder which is between individual and group think, but according to Surowiecki and Silverman (2007), large groups of people are normally smarter than an individual, and they can make wise decisions and also predict something important about future. They also suggested that a group is always intelligent, and most probably, it is even smarter as compared to smart people within that group. This means that group decision is well thought of, and the likelihood of making the ...

The 19th century was a time of vast change for the entire world, from the birth of electronics to the publishing of On the Origin of Species to the rapid expansion of the world powers. It is, perhaps, no wonder that it is also at this time of great, and sometimes terrible, human feats that a movement began that defied human imperialism over other humans and over nature itself, thus was the birth of Transcendentalism. This was a movement started in on the east coast of the United States, primarily in Massachusetts, that sought to uplift the individual and ...

Abstract

Ted Bundy, a known sexual psychopath and serial killer who murdered fourteen women in the 1970s is perhaps one of the best known criminal profiling cases ever known. Profilers proclaimed him to be a middle-aged Caucasian who would only take Caucasian women who were young themselves. He would be charming and calm prior to criminal activity before showing little restraint concerning his rage and sexual activity after secluding them at an undisclosed location. The profile also suggested he had transportation and was intelligent, but insecure. Law enforcement understood they were looking for a man who murdered based on trauma ...

Explain why race/ethnicity is so important in gang life.

Holmes, Tewksbury & Higgins (2011) postulates that the roles of race and ethnicity in gang life are rising to become more sophisticated. For example, more gangs are increasing multiracial and this affects the function of race and ethnicity based on conflicts between the gangs. Different scholars assess that race and ethnicity should affect gang membership prevention tactics. However, there is little proof to examine the linkage between these two variables. The gang motivation prevention techniques should cover factors that are based on racial and ethnic boundaries such as poverty and immigration, social isolation and discrimination, reduced educational opportunities and less ...

Q1. The Matthew effect in Robert Holmes project

The Matthew effect refers to the situation in which the richer get richer while the poor continue to be poorer (Gladwell, 15). The lives and prospects of the people of Robert Holmes coupled with the exposition of Gladwell in his book “Outliers” tend to justify the Matthew effect. They lend credence that it is extra ordinary opportunities that we are faced with in life that shape us rather than extra ordinary talents. It is therefore no surprise that the people of Robert Holmes, who are predominantly black, are stuck with poverty no matter their tacit attempts to escape from ...

There was no enough space for escape in case of any emergency causing a security threat to the clients. Besides, they did not provide enough resources to cater for ...

The purpose of this paper is to try to analyse two symphony concerts which are performed by the Danish conductor Thomas Sondergard. The both concerts consist of the pieces of music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his symphonies No. 5 (C mol) and No. 11 (D mol). These concerts do not have lyrical mood, but they draw bright musical picture which is rather dramatic. Abrupt change of rhythms, dissonance notes, dialogues of musical instruments immerse the listener in the world of misery and opposition to the evil. Both symphonies have life-asserting character though.1 The four part symphony No. ...

The civil rights movement was a succession of political protests in the United States that sought to bring racial equality before the law. In many instances, the protesters used nonviolent acts in enhancing the emancipation of women and the rights of minorities. Despite the fact that many women played a significant role in leading the local civil rights groups and volunteering as lawyers on school segregation suits, their efforts were overshadowed by men who got more attention and credit for the popular historical process in the US. Many women suffered from sexual discrimination and gender-based discrimination within the movement ...

Every literary epoch has its own features. However, they have some common and different characteristics. Romanticism and Beat Generation are two different generations and the brightest representatives are William Blake and Jack Kerouac. It is important to look at both literary directions in order to understand the authors who belonged to these movements. Romanticism was an artistic development that cleared through practically every nation of Europe, the United States, and Latin America that kept going from around 1750 to 1870. Nonetheless, the Romantic Movement did not achieve France until the1820's. Sentimentalism's crucial soul was one of rebellion against a ...

The majority of sports leadership studies focuses on the coach, his or her effectiveness, and relationship with the team. However, the coach is not the only leader, as the athletes also perform roles of formal and informal leaders. Furthermore, the majority of studies involve only quantitative approaches, which become the reason of such issues as the absence of description and methodological flaws. The absence of description means that quantitative approach cannot provide details about social ...

Among all the films shot about Batman, there is one that plays a significant role in the famous series, namely Batman Begins by Christopher Nolan. Shot in 2005, the film amazed me both with the intertextual codes and the visual representation. Having watched almost all the films including this DC character, it is safe to say Batman Begins is the best one to me and my favorite one. Objectively speaking, it was not the most successful among others due to the numerous factors but still, there is something in this film that makes it special. The reason might be ...

The ethical debate whether the use of torture to get information is justifiable or not remains a hot topic among many philosophers. The issue in the minds of most people has always been whether the critical information obtained from the torture justifies the evil act the terror suspect is subjected too. Most authorities will justify torture with the end result. Terrorism has always been an evil perpetrated against innocent people by groups with different motivations. Authorities will always argue they hold the responsibility to protect their citizens at any cost. The quandary in the whole scenario has always been ...

‘This is the Beat Generation’ by J.C.Holmes is the first literary article ( was published in New York Times in 1952) that coined the phrase “Beat generation” for the hippies and yippies in the American society.

Their level of distrust and distress were augmented by the war scenarios and dwindling national economy. Their lifestyle was generally knitted around beachheads and planned as per ...

Canon Doyle’s version of characterization is entwined with social issues, especially with regards to relationships. The time and the context of Doyle’s stories gives a critical, yet contrasting relationship developed between male and female partners. Thus, the concept of sexually comes in, and Doyle is keen to express this concept through his stories involving Sherlock Holmes and his acquaintances. However, this concept would hold a different social paradigm in the modern society, as Sherlock’s nature would be interpreted otherwise. Asexuality is defined in Sherlock’s stories as lack of taste, mood, or interest in women and ...
