The article by Marceta Reilly “Getting Genuine Commitment for Change” (2015), discusses several responses of employees in the education area to the changes proposed by leaders: principals and coaches.

The reason, according to Reilly (2015), is that people feel secure and comfortable when doing their job in customary ways, and are alarmed when changes affect these traditional ways, which they are accustomed with.

Introduction

The news report is of a tragic incident in which an innocent civilian dies on account of police incompetence and corruption. The incident, touted to be racial, might not be what it seems to be. Although it is difficult for the reporter or the broadcaster to look beyond the case of race, police incompetence in recent years suggests that they blunder into making disastrous decisions with tragic consequences irrespective of the victim’s race. The story of police officers using tasers on a Caucasian senior citizen for using a walking cane is equally outrageous. The victim was blind and ...

Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle.

The number of cases involving mental incompetence has been increasing within the U.S. during recent years. According to a 2008 article from USA Today, “Legal analysts attribute the increase to a lack of mental health care, judges’ increased openness to such claims and legal strategies by defendants to avoid harsh punishment” (Johnson & Seaman, 2008).

It would make sense that more criminals would want to use the defense of mental incompetence, simply because of the fact that if they are found to be incompetent to stand trial, they are then sent to a mental health facility to be treated – if ...

Syndromes in this condition are mostly due to valvular incompetence common in the low pressure superficial venous system, although they may also be due to incompetence of the valves in the deep venous systems.
