Have a company policy

The first thing to understand about a sexual harassment complaint is that it is unlike many other workplace conflicts. Sexual harassment is an illegal act, whereas some other conflicts are not illegal, but issues of personality issues, inappropriate competition, or other problems which, although serious, do not violate federal law. Therefore, if Ana’s company does not have a written sexual harassment policy, the first thing the HR department should do is develop one and provide training so that all employees are aware of its provisions and understand how to abide by them (Heathfield 2016). Such a policy could ...

Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society.

There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Infective learning strategies and incivility/bullying in the classroom

In the video, the teacher has been observed to have ineffective and poor teaching skills. The teacher lacked control over the students due to her inability to address the class to settle down, keep aside all mobile phones and electronic items and introducing the topic of the learning module (Gaberson, Oermann, & Shellenbarger, 2015). The teacher was focused more on the presentation and reading every bit from the slides without engaging the students to participate by discussion or asking questions. Many students were observed to openly converse with each other, play games, use cell phones, listen to music, and even ...

After the conclusion of the American Civil War (1861-1865), the United States forces returned to front line duties such as engaging in brutal combat with Native American tribes and controlling domestic disorders. The next significant war took place in 1898 when the federal government endorsed military aid for the Cuban revolutions being waged against the Spanish Empire. It was during what would later be known as the Spanish-American War that the weaknesses of the United States Army and Navy became evident. Apparently, rather than building a strong force after their Civil War, the US units either demobilized or only ...

Infective teaching strategies

ANALYSIS

Analysis Net Sales and Receivables, Inventory, DSO and Liquidity The chart shows that net sales of the company are less than receivables for the entire period.

This happens because the company takes almost two months to collect receivables. The number of days taken to collect receivables is illustrated below. The DSO for the entire period considered is above 60 days in all the months ...

Leaders play a significant function in the organization about its future success, employees’ performance, and productivity. An essential role of a leader is to establish as well as maintain a team that performs well. Yukl et al. (2013) contend that there are a lot of diverse definitions about leadership.

Additionally, Guirdham (2002) highlights the significance of leaders possessing great interpersonal and relational abilities, which includes the capacity to convince others. There are extra variables that add to impressive leadership, for example, the ...

How an entrepreneur can construe and utilize different business ratios

Business ratios are fundamental in determining the financial status of a company at a given time. There are twelve financial ratios, some of which appear on a company's financial records. However, both small and large entrepreneurs use four important ratios. The liquidity ratio exhibits a company’s capacity to settle its short-term debt commitments (Vasiu, Nicolae and Iulian 188).

P1 Socrates in Plato’s Gorgias criticizes Orators who are public speakers and tyrants who are rulers and oppressors as unintelligent groups of people in the society. He further says of oration as a type of flattery. This claim by Socrates seems unfair and harsh, but he comes to a conclusion that Tyrants and Orators are unintelligent because, according to Socrates, having power translates to having something good for who has it. Therefore, Socrates views orators and tyrants as having power in the society that they think it is good for them. It is from this definition of a ...

One of the reasons that persons loyal to the Crown accepted the chance to settle in given areas of North America such as Canada and the different states of the United States is the economic potential of the regions. Despite the people who had declared loyalty to the crown having the chance to be leaders in the regions they were attached in, resettling in areas with more potential than others was always an endearing for settlers to move to the different parts of the colony. The Upper Canada region is one of the areas in which most poor people ...

Education is a “Necessity of Life.” In the book Democracy and Education, John Dewey’s postulation about education being a necessity of life illuminates the need for real world application to education. Dewey was a progressive educator who understood that students are failed by the concept of education if they fail to link what is happening in class to what is out there in the real world. He, therefore, sought to bridge the theory and practice concepts of education and argues that the idea of learning in the classroom has to link to the experience outside the classroom. In ...

The concept of the American dream has been widely interpreted by many people to mean the national values that guide America towards attaining prosperity (Adams, 23).

Introduction

In the modern age of technological progress, people begin to puzzle about their place in the environment and the relation of a contemporary human being to the nature. It seems like the link between a person and natural environment is lost, yet still despite the progress, humans try to connect to nature.

There are radical examples, like Chris McCandless, who has chosen alienation from the society in order to live in wilderness ( ...

Joshua W.

A very positive thing I would definitely point out is that Joshua has elaborated on everything that could be construed from the mummy – what anthropological features they had, what gear they possessed, what clothes they wore and weapons they carried. However, what I think could be elaborated further is motivation of European people to go as far to the East. In this respect, it would be very interesting to compare what was going on in Europe itself at that time in order to understand what could have been the incentives to travel so far. The one thing that occurred ...
