Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians. The military-civil relationship in the United States is based on the doctrine about the civilian control over the military. This doctrine states that the control over the strategic plans and decision-making processes which could generally affect the whole nation should be in the hands of the civilian leaders and not the military leaders. It has ...

Incident Background

It has come to the attention of the facility’s security management team that there is a plan to steal a portion of the facility’s nuclear waste and release it into the community. We believed that the threat is credible. Naturally, if such a release of nuclear waste were to occur, the potential loss of life and damage to the environment would be substantial. Accordingly, we have developed this incident action plan in order to effectively deal with the risk by either stopping it from ever happening or mitigating its effect and quickly resolving and problems in the ...

Rituals

Rituals can be described as a sequence of activities that involve gestures, objects, and words that are performed in a sequestered premises following a predetermined manner and sequence. Rituals may be dictated by the traditions of a certain community which may include a religious community. Characterization of rituals is majorly done through traditionalism, formalism, sacral symbolism, rue governance and performance. On the other hand, rituals are not defined by these factors. From time immemorial, we find that rituals have always been a feature of each known society. Rituals include rites to worship, sacraments of organized religions that extend to ...

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 ...

Fostering Successful Emergency Planning

Fostering a successful emergency plan ensures that the plan focuses on intensive training and exercises. In doing so, the plan reinforces emergency preparedness for a number of potential emergencies. The exercises that emergency planners can create to test their plans include trial or testing through prototypes and operations, rehearsing the plan and explaining the plan to others and memorizing it (‎Perry, 2016). The best way to access emergencies is through trials. I believe this is true because when accessing emergency systems using trial, one bases the trial on socialist systems. The use of socialist systems in responding to emergencies ...

Introduction

Law enforcement has turned out to be extremely challenging in the contemporary changing social and cultural climate. It has continued to experience a range of challenges that are generated by the existing environment. The law enforcement practices, as well as policies, have received a lot of public scrutiny.

The contemporary policing is primarily marked by the uncertainty and broadening of crime deterrence problems. Among the law enforcement officers, the police have been scrutinized heavily by the public. ...

In chapter one of their book, Fields and Fields warn against an early celebration of the post-racial age, as people from minority groups continue to suffer from racial injustice. The authors talk about the racist concepts that continue to affect the way discussions about race are conducted in present-day America. The authors state that racist concepts are extremely harmful because they not only categorize people in obsolete racial groups that do not reflect their genealogical reality, but they ...

Critical Thinking and Clinical Reasoning

Introduction Critical thinking is the process by which nurses define clients’ problems, examine evidence-based practice and make a rational choice in the delivery of care. The fact that health care is a systematic process that involves the assessment of the current health situation, planning interventions and evaluating the outcome calls for critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Critical thinking is necessary since it makes nurses rely on facts in their efforts to promote positive patient care outcomes.

The article examines the teaching in class and the way it addresses the need for nurses to engage in critical thinking as the ...

Main post starting a thread: “Closing the Wealth Gap: A Review of Racial and Ethnic Inequalities in Homeownership” by Meghan Kuebler Home ownership does not represent an equally realizable goal for all groups in the society, despite the fact that it is a very important investment that may secure a family’s future for generations to come. Although owning a home has been part of the American dream historically, not all groups in the society have had equal access to this privileged position as home owner. In reality, Whites are more likely than any other racial group to own ...

The pros of this acquisition include that it would help ING expand its scale of operations and so compete effectively with other larger banks. Moreover, Oyakank had made significant steps regarding risk management and retail banking hence ING would gain from the former’s expertise in the area. The rate of non-performing loans at Oyakank was very low at 1.5 % compared to the average high rate of 3.5 % set by industry regulators. Additionally, Oyakank had extremely low-risk profile hence the implication that ING would benefit greatly from the techniques used by the former to reduce losses from non-performing loans. ...

Published in 1984, Audre Lorde’s article argues in favor of a unified feminist movement, which does not ignore the differences among the experiences of women belonging to different groups, but rather, it uses those differences to examine the different ways in which women are oppressed, and the ways in which those differences contribute to enriched creativity. The author explains that, right now, the feminist movement is divided by the same forces that create human differences in general, which oppose dominant groups to minority groups, thus creating simplistic patterns of difference, where the characteristics of the dominant groups are ...

Abstract

Risk management is undertaken differently in varied sectors. In a survey of 415 projects in Brazil, the revelation came out that hiring a risk manager or planning for risk enhances project success rate. However, risk means diverse things for different sectors.

Communication and Problem Solving Practices in Public Safety Agencies

Abstract Communication and problem solving are necessary for public safety agencies to be effective. Employees cannot adequately respond to disasters if they do not have the correct information or the information at all. Historically, public service agencies have used different communication protocols and equipment. This has resulted in a severe lack of coordination to disasters and emergencies that require the cooperation of different public safety agencies. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Hurricane Katrina are prime examples of the lack of coordinated communication and problem solving amongst different agencies. New technologies such as geographical ...

Abstract

Emergency planning is a challenge for public service agencies facing budget cuts, changes in available technology, changing community needs, and the consolidations of agencies with different missions and objectives.

The literature also emphasizes the importance of the planning process, and how information systems can help with the consolidation of information and analysis. Response methods and analysis primarily come from the planning process, although feedback from the front-line is necessary. The City of Pompano Beach’ ...

Self-Knowledge

Self-knowledge is the process of self-awareness, understanding your deep essence, the meaning of life and your physical and mental capabilities.

Human resource management and human resource planning are integral parts of any organization. Employees are key players in any organization and the success of an organization considerably depends on the productivity of the employees. Human resource management aims at ensuring cohesion between employees and the management. In the 20th century employees were merely considered as tools to achieve organizational goals but the trend changed. Continuous and intensive research has played a major role in ensuring that organizations view the work force as assets rather than just a means of production (Niehaus& price, 2013, 5). For the purpose of this ...

The two potential and hazardous scenarios that the authors envision for emergency management are fire and terrorism. Fire outbreak is a potential hazard that can affect every organization, company, or even private property. Fire safety is always a component of the designing and building safety. Fire can spread faster and incurs losses by consuming valuable assets, causing destruction, injuring and killing people and animals if not adequately managed. Fire accidents are one of the leading causes of loss of property and deaths in the world and fire outbreak is considered a dangerous scenario. Terrorism is another factor that puts ...

Visual Understanding

Introduction to Visual Understanding When it comes to visual representation of images, intricate details of the image may hinder an individual from completely understanding what a visual image is trying to convey. In most cases, the detail that may catch a viewer’s interest may not necessary be of significance value as compared to the whole image in totality. As such, the viewer of the image ends up not understanding an image that may be simple in its presentation. An example provided is that of a painting of a moth on the bark of a tree where the viewer ...

The rates of hunger and poverty in America are alarming. Food and hunger programs have committed themselves to coming up with solutions to the food insecurity. According to 2015 annual hunger survey in New York State, almost half of working-group residents failed to afford enough food in a household that at least one individual was employed. In 2012-2014, more than 450,000 residents of New York City lived in households that were food insecure but with at least one person employed. A portion of 48% of adults aged between 15 and 65 in New York City lacked sufficient food ...

IRON SUPPLEMENTATION DURING PREGNANCY

They have insufficient iron to meet the increased iron needs both for them and the foetus. According to Staff (2013), approximately 29% of the pregnant women experience iron depletion. Iron is vital ...

Introduction

The disaster events that have occurred in the recent past have illustrated the challenges that face metropolitan areas and states in preparing and later responding to natural disasters (Deyle & Wiedenman, 2014). Considering the suddenness of the different natural disasters, terrorist incidents, as well as their unexpected nature, it is not surprising that there is evidence of the lack of coordination and confusion in the management of transportation system in the aftermath. Although the immediate response to disasters and security incidents is the responsibility of public security agencies, the metropolitan planning organizations play very important role in promoting and coordinating ...

The role of ethics and social responsibility in developing a strategic management plan while considering stakeholders needs and agendas

Introduction Ethics are the code of conducts or the rules placed to govern certain processes. Ethics vary from place to place depending on the environment, cultural, social and religious practices among others. Ethics, therefore, dictate how people should behave in certain situations. Social responsibility, on the other hand, is what companies or firms do to show that they are concerned about the society in which the company or business is set up. An example of social responsibility is when a corporation participates in a fundraising that is conducted to help improve the lives of people living in a particular ...

An analysis of how the criminalist in Ted’s case handled the evidence and whether it was positively or negatively involved in the outcome of the case Voelker & RDH (2012) proclaims that the investigators obliged that Bundy to offer a dental impression to aid in the investigation but Bundy refused. After sometimes, the criminalists were granted a search warrant to get the impression in any possible tactic. A disclosure trip was orchestrated to hinder Bundy from grinding his teeth to hide his bite. The initial scar was photographed and a clear overlay created. Voelker & RDH (2012) addresses that the ...

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion. In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...

1. The three policing strategies that are found to be most important are community policing, problem oriented policing and evidence based policing. Community policing involves the establishment of partnership with the community by the police officers. This strategy will allow the police officers to develop a constructive relationship with the community members that will allow them to reach out in helping them solve their problems about crimes and not merely to respond to the calls for service (Albrecht and Das, 2011). The process will result in the decentralization of the police organization that will result in a more responsive ...

Introduction

Over the decades, the United States of America has been an egalitarian human society that has dedicated its resources to the eradication of women inequality and racism (Katz & Moore, 2004). Besides, it has formulated numerous legislations to push for equality for women, emancipation of slaves, and civil rights movements that aimed to promote equal treatments of the American Society (Katz & Moore, 2004). Despite these tremendous steps, racism and gender discrimination in the workplace still continues to be prevalent. In particular, women and minority groups like African-American have been the main target of this discrimination. The discrimination takes various forms ...

Instructuctor Name:

The central claim of supersessionism, an ancient Christian mindset that can be traced way back to the first century, is the forfeiture of God’s covenant with Jews due to their collective guilt over the death of Jesus (Cunningham 1). This ancient thinking could very well be found before the Second Vatican Council. It even found expression from Pope Pius X in a personal message to Theodor Herzl in 1904 – that the Jewish faith was the foundation of Christianity – but was replaced by the teachings of Christ (Cunningham 2). However, in the same verse in his epistle to the ...

SOCIAL INTERVENTION.

Introduction. Social work is a discipline or a profession that is practiced by qualified sociologists. It involves seeking to facilitate the wellbeing of individuals, communities or even societies (Siporin, 1975). Social work enhances social change, cohesion, empowerment, and development. Social work is interconnected with social justice, Human rights, and respect for diversities. It involves the provision of social welfare in order to alleviate the economic and social problems that people face. Such difficulties include health care, education, and food security (Sach, 2003). A sociologist connects people and structures so as to tackle the challenges of life and promote the ...

Alfredo Albondigas is obviously a mentally disturbed man. The inmate could be suffering from psychosis or other related psychological disorders. The mental imbalance might have been brought about by drug and substance abuse. With the known prison background and environment, use of drugs such as Marijuana, heroin, crystal methyl, LSD and others is rampant. Alternatively, Mr. Albondingas might be suffering from acute depression leading to the meltdown. Mental disturbance from the environmental effects of prison trauma and stress could induce delirious hallucinations. Other possible mental states that could be influencing the behavior could be Peduncular hallucinosis and primarily schizophrenia. ...

The concept of self-disclosure sounds quite simple but there are some aspects about it that can be further outlined and discussed so that others can better understand the definition and the factors which might influence it. In the field of communication, there are even various different types of self-disclosure. Self-disclosure, in general and how it pertains to the field of communication, can be described as a deliberate disclosure of personal information to others (Jones, ). Self-disclosure can somewhat be determined by things as simple as what a person is wearing, how they behave, or even just a look into how ...
