In today’s information age, less and less information is considered confidential – whether it is an issue of national security, or merely an issue of someone eventually finding the information anyway, the anonymity of journalistic sources has become a very sticky issue. Often, people are compelled to ask for these sources in order to protect national security, or to determine the source of an illegal leak of confidential information to reporters. However, this pursuit directly steps on laws and principles outlined in the First Amendment of the United States in regards to freedom of speech. Due to the importance ...

The ethical quandary in Robert F. Ladenson’s Friends and Lovers presents a situation in which one member of a group of three friends, Claire, must make a decision about how to deal with information she has received intimately concerning her other two friends, Tony and Beth, who are engaged to be married. Tony has revealed he had a brief affair but asked Claire to keep the fact a secret, and Beth has asked Claire if she thinks something is “going on” with Tony. Claire’s decision on how to deal with the situation will differ depending on what ...

Clinical Case Study

The evidence based clinical literature reveals the difficulties in diagnosing Myocardial Infarction (MI) concomitantly with pre-existing left bundle branch block (LBBB) with the application of 12 lead ECG in the pre-hospital environment (Surawicz and Knilans, 2008). Indeed, the T waves and baseline ST segments incongruently displaced in negative direction in cases of LBBB as evident through the ECG findings. These abnormal variations in ECG findings tend to override the actual ECG results in relation to MI manifestations, thereby challenging the confirmation of MI with the ECG intervention. However, the moving ST segments revealed through the serial ECGs during ischemic ...

Interview Techniques

Introduction
Law enforcement officers use interviews and interrogations to get information from criminal suspects. The two aspects of communication are important in deriving needed information. The two techniques are may be different in a number of ways. Interrogations are characterized by verbal aggressiveness while interviews engage a non-aggressive dialogue. Both the parties in an interview contribute to the conversation without prejudice. However, it seems that, in an interrogation, the verdict is already determined before the questioning begins. Sometimes officers engage in unorthodox tactics of eliciting information from suspects. Concerns have been raised about officers bullying suspects during interrogations. Interrogations ...

Introduction

The glory of God and his handiwork can be well shown by the creation of the heavens and the firmament thus the divine revelation.

Some Paradoxes Associated With Whistle Blowing.

The term whistle blower refers to an individual or an informant who exposes wrongdoing within the organization with the objective or hopes to stop it. On the other hand, a paradox refers to the inconsistency between the theory of our systematic understanding of whistle blowing and what we actually know about whistle blowing. This paper provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of the paradoxes behind whistle blowing. However, there is nothing morally problematic about whistle blowing because after all. This is because revealing of the information that has not been revealed is part of the function of science.

According to the University of Rhode Island (URI, 2014), time series graphs compare the variable under observation on the vertical (Y) axis against time on the horizontal (X) axis. Cycles reveal the trend of the collected data over time through plotting points on the graph which in turn produces the highs (peaks) and lows (troughs). The cycles reveal the variations in performance. When a scientist plots two lines (waveforms) on the same graph, the two waveforms provide a graphical comparison of performance between two subjects under observation.
1) When peaks and troughs align, does this mean the data is ...

In the sociology, there are important concepts used to analyze social phenomena in order to reveal their contingency. Modern sociological concepts are mainly compared to a set of analytical tools. These are in turn used to evaluate epiphenomena in order to reveal underlying forces and categories. Therefore, postmodern concepts can be viewed as a set of special effects used to reveal the contingency of the phenomena. As seen in the special effects of various films, the audience is not asked to believe in the reality of the effect, but they are suspended on the belief in the reality.

Introduction

The justice system is a very complex institution, which calls for a proper manner of getting information. In the system where judgments are made depending on the types of evidence given, it is essential that the counsels of both sides take proper measures and steps to ensure that they get the relevant information from the witnesses that will sway the verdicts to their way. Strong evidence through such interrogations is likely to see a party getting an upper hand in the verdict, while shambolic evidence will most likely see a case ruled against one’s expectations. Interrogations, to a ...

Reiman (2007) defines communication as the process of information transfer from one character to another. Hence, nonverbal communication is a type in which wordless cues are sent and received between persons (Reiman, 2007). In most instances, visual cues are used in nonverbal communication. Thus, nonverbal communication is seen as a nonlinguistic transfer of information that is achieved through auditory, visual, kinesthetic and tactile channels. On verbal communication stretches beyond kinesthetic or body language. It also includes physical appearance, proxemics, hepatics, paralanguages and gazes. This paper reports some of my experiences of nonverbal communications I witnessed during a previous marriage/wedding ...

The role that an attorney plays in protecting his client’s interests has long included the privilege of confidentiality, in the sense that a client’s defender should have the ability to discuss his client’s case with full candor, and then decide which elements of that case should make it into the courtroom. This notion has ancient precedents: when Marcus Tullius Cicero was prosecuting the governor of Sicily, during the time of the Roman Empire, he was not allowed to call the governor’s defender as a witness. The logic at the time was that if the advocate ...

MicroRNAs are small, single-stranded, non-coding, 16–29 nucleotide RNA molecules (approximately 22 nucleotides in length) comprising of an evolutionarily conserved class of endogenous ribo-regulators that regulate (modulate) gene expression (Wiemer, 2007, p.1529; Zhang et al., 2006, p.9136; Garzon et al., 2009, p.168).

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Man That Was Used Up” is an astounding dramatic farce involving the search for truth of an unnamed narrator to discern the true secret of a distinguished war hero, General John A.B.C. Smith. Along the way, Poe illustrates a Civil War-era society that brims with a very specific type of cultural revisionism and American exceptionalism that belies the true ugliness of the nation’s atrocities underneath. Looking at this story in the context of the Jacksonian era, in which Indian removal was a very prevalent cultural practice and the upper class lionized ...

Question a

A questioned document is defined as any handwriting, signature, typewriting, or any mark whose source is doubtful (Hilton, 1992). The theory of comparing handwriting is developmental. It is important to examine the original documents rather than copies because details like indentations and pressure may not be identifiable in copies. Therefore, use of copies in a questioned document may not give positive conclusions. In the case of photographs, an original one can reveal more details on magnification. Copies lose vital information, and they show image distortion when enlarged (Hilton, 1992). A questioned document may also prevent positive conclusion because it ...

The reading takes us through a crucial moment in history of the Israelites. All through the bible, God used the promise of the land to assure His people that his promises are real and permanent. Land remains to be a crucial investment in people’s life, which God used to make the Israelites fix their eyes on them. Looking back in history, God told Abraham to move from where he was to a land that he would show him. Moving out was a step of faith that Abraham had to make because of his trust in God. For a ...

In the short story “The Lottery”, written by Shirley Jackson in 1948, the author showcases a dystopian future in which tradition and a sense of community is placed above the individual. An ironic twist at the end turns a pleasant, slice-of-life story about a developing society into a morality tale in which our obsession with tradition is taken to its most extreme conclusion. The characters tacitly endorse horrific violence, showing the real monsters that lie at the very core of human nature. With “The Lottery,” Jackson wishes to showcase the foolishness of mob mentality and the gradual erosion of ...

In life, human beings experience traumatic events; whether accidents, death or any other trauma, such occurrences harm the person’s psychological well-being. In some cases, people are unable to deal with the aftermath of such occurrences; they thus deals with it by pushing it out of consciousness into the sub-conscious. Instead of dealing with the problem, they ignore it through psychological processes; this research paper focuses on the analysis of the process. It is a process known as repression (Loftus, 1993).
Repression is a very general concept in the field of psychology researched by many scholars through the years. ...

Introduction

It has always been true that those not part of the dominant cultural group are alienated from the rest of the social environment, one way or another. Abuse among partners is common in many relationships, either heterosexual or homosexual. However, many times, prejudice and discrimination are directly shown upon gay and lesbian partners, which makes it hard for them to report abuse by their partner, out of fear of failing the social stereotypes. Violence and conscious manipulation are human traits that cannot be classified based on gender. They can occur in any relationship, including among homosexual partners. Intimate partner ...
