Court Issues Analysis Essay

In discussions regarding court system issues, most tend to forget that crimes would not happen if there were proper societal values in place and those values were enforced. Society has shifted from a culture of marriage, family values and strong familiar bonds to a culture that cultivates a staggering divorce rate, single mothers with many children born out of wedlock with little to no income. A culture that is has no patriarchal figure to lead and teach the children right from wrong aids and abets a systematic control of the poor and minorities. Instead of encouraging the pursuit of education, society encourages the pursuit of false hope and dreams through get rich quick methods that essentially remove the rights of those who chose to pursue criminal behavior. Most are imprisoned due to criminal activity and having no fatherhood figure themselves, there is no sense of value to one’s life. This loss of the father figure not living in the home, especially in the African America n and Hispanic communities, has a negative outcome not only in the community, but on society as a whole. Without the complete family unit to provide guidance, encourage the children to stay in school and avoid criminal activity, or to become a productive member of society; then our court systems will continue to provide severe punishment for minor crimes and negative social behaviors when the court should offer solutions to preventative crime and supportive services to those families whose members are involved in the vicious cycle of incarceration. Victims’ assistance programs should also support the families of the criminal, as well as the providing treatment programs and assistance to those. The majority of innovation and changes made to the court system over the past 30 years have been tested and administered in urban locales or focused on suburban jurisdictions, where a bulk of the financial resources are given due to the larger population. Rural areas tend to have much larger geographic locales, smaller populations and limited legal, social and health services to assist the general public; this can provide a challenge for rural courts. With the lack of specialized justice practitioners and service providers, rural court jurisdictions tend to work closer with the community when handing out sentencing and punishment. Research conducted by the Justice Management Institute suggests six areas where the criminal justice system needs improvement, after some review I have combined them into the four topics below. Improvement of Court Practices and Procedures for Indigent Litigants The first thing the courts need to work on is improving practices and procedures for self-represented defendants. This includes proper caseload management, administrative management techniques that are informative and efficient so that no cases or indigent defendants become ‘lost’ within the incarceration process and are given the right to due process. In order for the aforementioned to work there would have to be an upgrade to the current indigent defense services that are available to defendants. This includes public defenders that are compensated with good salaries and other support needed to manage caseloads; making them more prepared to battle for their client’s freedom instead of plea-bargaining an agreement. One change that should be made is the building of informative websites that provide information about the court system and the types of cases that are handled by jurisdiction. Providing the public with listings of case statuses and docket information can be helpful for pro bono attorney looking for clients to represent, and having detailed information and the proper forms that would be needed for a person to represent oneself in court; can help disperse the caseload. The development of performance standards and methods for supervising attorneys, assigned counsel, and court officials will ensure that courtroom behavior is ethical and in favor of the defendants. Enhanced Technology and Information Management The enhancement of technology is another area of concern regarding court administration today. Modernization of older court buildings with upgrades to newer security features, such as video cameras and weapon detection systems, can offer a greater sense of security for the public and those involved in the court process. The employment of properly trained security guards, who are rehearsed in threat assessment, will ensure that future security officers are able to handle any crisis that may occur. This includes the effective use of communication equipment, proper weapons training and new technologies that are implemented. The employing of degreed peace officers as administrative staff, who have a working knowledge of security systems and policing; that are familiar with the software used, and any hardware that is required to provide a safe court environment, ensures that security processes and procedures will be followed. Storing of information is important when building databases to control the flow of information within the court system and making sure that information is secure, obtainable and available to all jurisdictions is not only beneficial in the court process but should be a priority to ensure that the system does not become overloaded. This includes the creation and updating of all proper forms, documentation, and the incorporation of any digital media that is needed to complete the judiciary process; plus the technical support and communication infrastructure to manage all the information. Finally, the proper training for court staff on how to access all information, customer service in providing the appropriate assistance and the relaying of proper information to the public and for all justice system practitioners and service providers. Web based education is a consistent way to ensure that all court personnel receive the same standard of training in core subjects. Greater Availability of Community Programs Having readily available resources to provide those who have addiction problems or commit crimes due to addiction, such as inpatient/outpatient programs, drug court and probation programs that teach recovery and coping skills, and providing transportation vouchers to those defendants who do not own or have vehicles. Although some courts have drug courts, the establishment of a mental health court could substantially help with caseload. With qualified treatment providers and caseworkers who are educated in mental illness (with or without drug abuse training) can provide information to the court through home visits, doctor office visits, and the tracking of those individuals who are required to be on medication and in treatment programs while on probation, thus being able to use the information gathered to forecast defendants whose criminal actions are due to some sort of mental illness. Overcoming Language Barriers Providing improved court interpreter services through technology will allow for greater range of court interpreter services. Language barriers are one of the biggest issues with the illegal immigrant population. It is imperative that court system recruit interpreters who are fluent in many languages, so that those who do not have a good command of the law are able to understand what crime has been committed and the punishment for that action, why that particular action is a crime, and to ensure that they understand the court process in relation to their rights. Judges, attorneys and client representative should also be trained in several languages or be given access to a competent interpreter so that nothing can be lost in translation. Through the use of technology, such as Skype, court interpreters can instruct, educate and disseminate information so that those who do not understand will have some comprehension of the resources available to them and the sentencing/punishment that is handed down.

Enron Corporation Essay

I  Ã‚   The Beginning When Enron Corporation declared a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2001, it left the public especially its investors and stockholders reeling from such financial scandal and collapse.   Enron had allegedly overstated its profits by $586 million since 1997 in order to protect the firm’s balance sheet and practiced insider trading as well fraud and conspiracy. Enron had been the seventh largest company in the United States and had been one of the largest financial contributors to the Presidential elections, especially the Bush family. To the outside world, Enron portrayed a picture of success.   However, upon closure inspection on the inside, Enron was on the brink of collapse. When Enron’s stock price hit its highest at $90, the executives who allegedly knew of the offshore accounts of Enron started selling their respective shares and to encouraged the public to continue buying the said stocks.   However, the executives knew that the stock prices would not increase anymore but still reassured the public and its investors that the prices of stock would reach a high $130-140 per share. By August 2001, Enron’s stock prices had dropped from $90 to a measly $42. It became evident that the company had fraudulently induced and fooled the public, investors and stockholders to buying the company’s stocks and shares. Amidst all these, Enron founder and former chairman Kenneth Lay continued to reassure the public to remain calm, and asked the investors to buy the company’s shares as the company will regain its profits in the succeeding months. Nonetheless, in October of 2001, the stocks plunged to $15 but the investors saw this as an opportunity to buy Enron stocks at such low prices. But the truth about the company’s financial standing became public and the stock price finally hit rock bottom at $1 per share. II   Basis of the Charges Stockholders and investors gathered and instituted a class-action suit against Enron and its officers in order to recover the millions of investment they made on Enron as result of the false representation and fraud by the company. Enron top executives specifically its Chief Executive Officers, Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling were charged and convicted with the collapse of the energy giant. Kenneth Lay faced seven counts of fraud and conspiracy while Skilling faced 31 counts of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and lying to auditors about Enron’s financial position. In 1987, Enron auditors found out a billion-dollar oil trading scandal in its New York offices.   Traders had been engaged in this kind of practice – falsifying transactions in order to boost their volume and profit thereby fattening their bonuses as well. Although CEO Kenneth Lay knew of this, he did not fire the traders nor contacted the authorities in order to cover up their problems. But this incident did not deter the traders and six months later, competitors began to grow suspicious because if word got out, Enron’s trading partners could have demanded that the company cover its positions with cash, which the company did not have (Fowler).   Thus, the traders were fired and charged but not until they were able to transfer million of dollars into their personal accounts.   Enron for its part was able to get away by bluffing the market and reported $85 million in loss but sources claim that the loss totalled to at least $135 million. CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who joined Enron in 1990, did not care much about the expenses incurred by the company as long as the margins looked good.   He was also more concerned with the revenues increases and widening profit margins instead of the cash flows which was practiced by his predecessor. So enamoured were the top executives in increasing business profit that when a deal failed or fell apart, more effort was placed into hiding the consequences instead of rectifying and owning up to the problem.   After taking over as chief operating officer, he renewed the almost non-existent post of chief financial officer and delegated many of the management responsibilities. In theory, Enron had mechanisms that would assess risk and accurately report financial numbers. These mechanisms required that deals should be strictly analyzed which included review by the legal department of the originating unit, the corporate legal department, chief risk officer and chief accounting officer.   However, due to the insidious practice of the company, auditors and accountants were bullied to over ride the system and departments were able to determine the total value of their proposals by manipulating the long-term price of whatever product was sold or bought.   The company also used a â€Å"mark-to-market† accounting system pushed by Skilling which allows a company to report as current revenue the total value of a deal over its projected lifetime (Fowler). This system made earning appear good which in turn pumped up the stock prices and increased the value of stocks which executives received as bonuses. III Trial As the stunned investors witnessed Enron’s stock prices plunged, the government began a massive crackdown on the executives who were responsible for the collapse of the company, and would end up in the conclusion of convincing and proving to the jury that Lay and Skilling, the two top executives of the company, where guilty of massive fraud and were thus guilty. Government prosecutors were at first overwhelmed with the girth of the corporate fraud.   Nevertheless, they began to take measures to respond to these kinds of crimes and a barrage of criminal and civil investigations and prosecutions began to surface.   Thus, in 2002, the Presidential Corporate Fraud Task Force filed criminal charges against more than 900 defendants, of which 60 are chief executive or president level and successfully prosecuted or convicted 500 of them. The case against Lay and Skilling were heard by US District Judge Sim Lake and lasted nearly four months while the jury deliberated for six days.   The defense counsel initially attempted to persuade the judge to move the trial away from Houston, Enron’s hometown as they were afraid that the jury might be influenced by anger due to the resulting loss of jobs and money and would see them as a way of revenge. Kenneth Lay faced seven counts of fraud and conspiracy fraud and conspiracy while Skilling on the other hand, faced 31 counts of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and lying to auditors about Enron’s financial position.   Although both asserted their innocence of the charges against them, they were convicted for a total of 29 criminal counts as well as conspiracy to hide the failing health of the company by selling boosterich optimism to Wall Street and the public (MSNBC). Lay, who was convicted to 6 counts of conspiracy, securities and wire fraud in the corporate trial and 4 counts on separate personal banking trial, surrendered his passport and posted a $5 million bond secured by the family.   His sentence also carried a maximum penalty of 45 years in prison for the corporate trial while 120 years in personal trial respectively.   Ã‚  Skilling on the other hand, was convicted by 19 counts out of the 28 charged as well as one count of insider trading while being acquitted with the remaining charges. The charges against   these Enron top executives prospered as other executives turned the table and plead guilty in their respective charges in order to receive lower sentences than that prescribed.   Among the former employees who testified against Lay and Skilling was Ben Glisan who is now serving a 5-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy.   According to Glisan, both Lay and Skilling knew that the company was in deep financial trouble but tried to hide it instead. Ultimately, the jury rejected Skilling’s defense that no fraud happened at Enron save for those committed by a number of executives skimming millions in secret side deals, while bad publicity and poor market confidence resulted in the collapse of the energy giant. III. Effects of the Enron Collapse As the jurors found that these once-wealthy and powerful executives repeatedly lied to cover up the real position of the company by covering up accounting and auditing failures which eventually led to its collapse in 2001, the left a devastating effect in the business world as well as the lives of the investors and shareholders.   The demise of Enron wiped out more than $60 billion in market value, almost $2.1 billion in retirement savings and costs more than 5,600 to lose their jobs. The anger of the public over the recent corporate scandals led to the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was designed to make company executives more accountable. Although public distrust for white-collar trial could not actually reverse the damage done to investor confidence, the Lay and Skilling trial however has become a start of a healing process for public-investor relations to be righted again. IV Timothy Belden    Apart from the other key witnesses who were former Enron employees and who testified against the top two Enron officials, Timothy Belden particularly made the charges against Lay and Skilling stick, ending in their conviction.   Belden who was the first person to be charged in the manipulation of Western Energy markets, initially engaged in lengthy dance with federal officials over his plea and eventual cooperation in testifying against Lay and Skilling.   He pleaded guilty in 2002 to conspiracy and admitted that he gave false information to California’s electrical grid operators.   Belden is also said to be the â€Å"mastermind behind the strategies described† in memos that spelled out how Enron manipulated the California market (Schreiber). Beginning in the mid-nineties, California was among the first states to deregulate electricity.   The deregulation occurred just as when companies were leaving the state in numbers thereby creating a recession. The deregulation was supposed to reduce the ten percent of the tax payers’ bill while breaking the old methods of greedy companies.   As California deregulated the wholesale side of its energy markets, it also kept price caps in the retail side. It coincided with the State’s decision to bar utilities from signing long-term cheap fixed prices which forced them to into an unpredictable market.   Thus, the utilities were made to pay exorbitant prices but were not able to pass on to their consumers the prices they incurred.   Enron promised to deliver power more efficiently and build new plants that can run on cheaper fuels. Commencing in 1998 until 2001, Belden as well as other executives from Enron devised a fraudulent scheme in order to obtain increased revenue for Enron from wholesale electricity consumers and other market participants in the State of California. The schemes perpetrated by Belden and the other Enron executives required them to submit false information to the companies supplied by Enron and misrepresented the nature of electricity which the company was supposed to supply. Despite being paid to relieve congestion, the company however, did not do so and instead imported as well as exported electricity in order to receive higher prices from the companies they supply. Of particular interest in the course of the trial is a transcript of conversation between Belden and one of the operators of the power plant wherein the two discussed shutting down one of Reliant’s power plants in California to create a shortage in order for the prices to skyrocket. As the scheme worked, causing the power prices to arrive at high and unjust levels in California, it thereby became illegal under the Federal Energy Policy Act. In his testimony, he called California’s post-deregulation power market dysfunctional and said his company bought cheap electricity in the Northwest to sell in California at a profit (Baker). This practice created the appearance among consumers that there was shortage of electricity, thereby having the need to jack up the prices. Enron was able to pocket off almost $1 billion in a period of nine months in 2000 and 2001. Belden admitted however, that he only met with Lay and Skilling once during a colleague’s party.   But nevertheless, Belden’s testimony proved to be a very crucial one as it confirmed and proved that Lay and Skilling knew of what was happening in California but turned to hide it instead. As company vice-president and head of Enron’s West Coast trading operation, Belden supervised a staff of 120 that went from $50 million in earnings in 1999 to $800 million in 2001, while California’s power markets disintegrated into panic and sky-high prices. When one of Enron’s lawyers started investigating these â€Å"irregularities† as a response to the investigation conducted by the California Public Utility Commission. The lawyers found out of Enron’s tactic of using advantage of the energy crisis and revealed through a memo that Enron created false congestion lines, transferred energy in and out of state to avoid price caps and charged for services the company never actually provided (Swartz).   And yet, inspite of the information the lawyer gave to the top executives, and traders have been told to return the money made on improper trading, the executives at Enron still decided against it despite knowing that the practice was illegal.   For Belden and the other traders, sending the money back would mean that the other companies will know what Enron was doing.   Nevertheless, Belden and Enron continued on with the practice.   Skilling, on the other hand, fully knew well of the said practice by the company in 2001 as he was already tipped by one of the executives who learned of the previous investigation. During examination, Belden admitted to US District Judge Martin Jenkins that he did it because he was trying to maximize profit for Enron. Belden claimed that he was only following Enron’s instructions as he handled his trades (CBS News).   According to Belden’s counsel, Enron knew fully well of Belden’s action but was never disciplined nor sanctioned at all. In fact, Belden may have reaped bonus for such practice as revenues from his trading unit climbed from $50 million in 1999 to $500 million in 2000 to $800 million in 2001.     When he was charged with conspiracy, Belden after a long time of dealing and negotiating with the federal government, decided to turn against Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, claiming that the two top executives knew of the practice he and other traders did as indicated by the internal company memos which described how Enron took power out of California at a time of rolling blackouts and shortages and how it sold out of state to elude price caps (CBS News).

Accidental Heroes Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2000 words

Accidental Heroes - Essay Example They decided to break the rules for a noble purpose and emerged as heroes. This paper shall look into several movies where heroes are made by their deliberate decisions to violate the rules established by the society they live in, their government or their superiors. These movies are The Island, The Matrix, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Ironman 2. The theme about violating established rules and emerging as a hero at the end is apparently not only common but widely accepted among both filmmakers and moviegoers. The Island The 2005 movie The Island is a futuristic movie set in the year 2019 where a company has perfected the science of human cloning. They then capitalized on this technology by selling very expensive health insurance policies to the wealthy people who want to live forever. The clients were told that the company is keeping a stock of cloned body parts which they will use for perfectly compatible organ transplants. The clients are unaware that w hat the company has at their facility is a community of clones who are then killed in order to harvest the needed human organs. The accidental hero in the person of Lincoln Six-Echo is one of the clones living in the highly secluded and closely-monitored facility. They were not allowed to interact with one another. They were made to believe that they were the last survivors of the human race and they vied for a spot in â€Å"The Island† which is supposedly the last frontier of the earth. Their every move is being monitored and there are rules for everything. If curiosity killed the cat, Lincoln Six-Echo’s inquisitive nature saved him and the others. He had a lot of questions about the things around him and about what they are told to believe. And he searched for answers. When he asked his friends and the authorities at the facility, he does not get straight answers so he decided to take the risk of violating the facility’s rules and find the answers himself. The movie went on to reveal the truth and narrates the adventures of Lincoln Six-Echo outside the facility where he finally found out that the people in the facility are â€Å"copies of people out here in the world† (The Island). If he did not take the risk of violating the rules which was strictly and oppressively implemented inside the facility, Lincoln Six-Echo would not know about who and what he really was. Moreover, he would not be able to save himself and his friend, Jordan Two-Delta, who had already won her ticket to â€Å"The Island†. If he did not violate the rules in his confined world, the insurance company’s sinister business would not be exposed into the open and its clients would remain oblivious to the fact that someone identical to them had to die in order for them to live. The Matrix The matrix is by far the most intellectual and thought-provoking film I have ever seen. Admittedly, I had to watch it a second time to listen and fully absorb the dia logues, and a third time to fully and completely comprehend what the movie is all about. Although this movie is packed with action sequences and dazzling special effects, one can only fully understand the true meaning and message of the movie by absorbing every word in its limited dialogues. The Matrix tells about a post-apocalypse earth where humans are controlled by machines. Humans lay asleep in pods while their minds are inside a virtual reality program called the matrix. Inside the matrix, the minds of sleeping bodies live â€Å"normal† lives where they work, eat, sleep and die. However, in the real world, that is, outside of the matrix system, people are unconscious in a honeycomb of pods with tubes attached to their bodies and where â€Å"the machines liquefy the dead to feed the living†

Stages of a criminal trial Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

Stages of a criminal trial - Essay Example This only comes after the first step of determining whether the trial should happen before a jury or a judge. The attorneys involved in the persecution gives details of the issues that surround the case to the court. He will further explain the point in which the prosecution plans to prove. The defense further gives their opening statements. In this case, the team will be trying to prove that the defendant is innocent. The opening of statement stage is only valid if other steps of the trial are successful (Felman, 2002). These stages include presentation of evidence to the court. There then follows cross examination of this evidence and the witnesses. The last stage is usually the closing statements, which summarizes the case and waits for the judge or the jury to make a decision. Clearly, the opening statement determines the direction of the case. It gives the judge and the witnesses some sort of focus so that the case is determined appropriately. One example of a criminal case is that of O.J Simpson murder case, also known as people of California vs. James Simpson case (Bugliosi, 1997). He was accused of murder of both his wife and her friend. He was defended by his lawyers Robert Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran. They issued opening statements to defend their client, stating that the blood samples were comprised. They also proved that the police had not conducted themselves appropriately. In the end, the jury decided that the James Simpson was not guilty, and was neither responsible of the two deaths. The stages for criminal trial were duly followed in this case for its

Mathematics Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words - 1

Mathematics - Essay Example An example of where it is important to understand integers in the financial world is with banking (Glydon). If someone spends more than they have available in their bank account then their balance will be negative. Also, it is important to understand integers in geography because of the different points either above or below sea level (Glydon). 3. The reason why many students find fractions difficult is because fractions are usually never taught to be looked at visually (Miller). Many teachers like to explain all the different rules of fractions, which can be very confusing. A simple way to learn fractions is to remember that the numerator always goes over the denominator. The denominator indicates how many pieces make up the whole, while the numerator refers to how many of all those pieces we are talking about (Akers). 4. Someone who worked at a pizza company would need to be able to add mixed numbers because a pizza can be cut up into different fractions (â€Å"Mixed Fractions†). Someone who worked in the Human Resources department would also need to use mixed fractions because they would need to calculate employees’ wages based on an hourly rate and they number of hours worked. Finally, taxi drivers would need to use mixed numbers because they would need to work out how many kilometers a trip is so they could charge their passenger the correct

Molecular identity of nkcc cotransporter Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2500 words

Molecular identity of nkcc cotransporter - Essay Example This property is of special significance to the project as the emphasis of research is on the NKCC1 member, one that is known to have two isoforms – NKCC1a and NKCC1b. Of these NKCC1b is also known to be found in brain RNA (Gamba, 2005). It is noted here, though, that the two isoforms of the NKCC1 cotransporter is found only in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) as per research of Cutler and Cramb, 2002. Nevertheless, there is ample evidence that NKCC1, in human and other mammalian species, is functionally implicated in CNS cells. It is observed by Gamba, 2005, that the NKCC1 cotransporter is activated by receptors and assists in neurotransmission by driving anions into the cell. It is also observed by Strange et al, 2000, that the work of the NKCC1 cotransporter complements that of the KCC2 one. The choice of the culture medium, the neuronal-specific CAD cell line, and the somewhat CNS-specific NKCC1 dovetails perfectly for a research attempt that seeks to establish new fac ts on the molecular identity and other expression patterns of these unique electroneutral cotransporters in cells of the central nervous system (CNS). G. Gamba’s excellent 2005 review article on these cotransporters has been extensively used in this paper because it is the most comprehensive document prepared to date being inclusive of all aspects described so far. RT-PCR analysis was carried out on the murine neuronal cell line CAD on both differentiated and undifferentiated cells. Isolated RNA from both differentiated and undifferentiated cells was used. Annealing temperatures used were at C - C at 40 cycles for a maximum of one minute. Primers 10bp in length were used with a gc content above 50%, as recommended (Ribicki, 2001). Upon gel electrophoresis of all the products it was revealed that a ~286 bp bit, exactly as long as the PCR insert, was apparent in all the gels for both differentiated and undifferentiated cells at all PCR

In the UNICEF Child Labor protection information sheet, child labor is defined as children that fall in the bracket of under 12 working in any kind of economic activity, children between the age of 12-14 engaged in any form of work that can’t be labeled as light work and all ages involved in the worst form of labor which are enslaved, prostituted, trafficked, forced into illegal activities or exposed to hazardous conditions (1). Further on, it is important to understand what is not taken as child labor; involvement in any sort of work by children which is neither having a negative effect on their health, personal growth not is it crea ting any form of hindrance in their journey for education (ILO & I-P Union, 14). For example a daughter helps her mother in household chores or a son assists his dad every now and then on the family farm. International Labor Organization Under the watchful eye of the United Nations, International Labor Organization initiated a program in the year 1992 known as the International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor. The goal of the organization was to eliminate child labor from its roots. Currently, IPEC has operations in 88 countries and with the help of different partners such as NGO’s, private businesses etc., it is making tremendous efforts to infiltrate the child labor swamp and clean it up (Wikipedia). Increasing concern of child labor With the help of different organizations, NGO’s, some powerful governments; Child Labor has turned into a heated debate and is one of the most important issues discussed all around the world due to the growing concept of global ization through which global communication was conceived. Yet, even with all the discussions, debates and awareness rising around the globe the eradication of the malice completely would take quite a long time. As discussed earlier, the new world order brought with it many different perspectives. Globalist would refer to it as a positive step towards solving the problem of collective goods, isolationist policies and others that were present before the cold war. While skeptics would come up with the argument that accuses globalization of being a system that has generated intensive competition between states in which labor and resources are exploited to a dangerous extreme. Nevertheless, globalization, liberalization of trade, transparency of economy and changing thought process of consumers is an extremely important reason as to why child labor has turned into a growing concern (ILO & I-P Union, 18). Africa- leading the world in child labor? In Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa is a region that is accounted to have the highest percentage of child labor. International Labor Organization statistics present to us an astounding figure of 80 million that is a prominent 41% of children who belong to the under 14 age bracket are working (Andvig, Canagarajah &

Beauty of Women Essay Example for Free

Beauty of Women Essay Proposal: I have chosen to write about the comparison between the cultures that produced the Venus de Willendorf with the culture that produces the Barbie doll. While writing about the two cultures, I will describe some common themes the Paleolithic culture and the modern culture share; what our modern culture has adopted and those things it has rejected of which the Paleolithic culture held to high standards. Most important through my writing I will show you how much our world views have changed from the era of the Venus de Willendorf to the modern world view of what the ideal woman should look like and how the view of beauty should not be as superficial as the modern culture makes it out to be. Outline: 1. Intro a. â€Å"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder†, this saying can be proven by looking at the different cultures throughout the ages. Beauty of a woman is much more than what she looks like, it is also what a woman’s body can produce and withstand, what is within her. Past cultures show us something that our modern culture tends to forget; that beauty of a woman is more than what she may look like, a woman’s beauty is something that should be adorned. 2. Body b. Common themes between the Paleolithic culture’s views on beauty vs. the modern world’s view i. One common theme on the view of beauty between the Paleolithic culture and the modern world is that both cultures worship a woman’s beauty; each in their own way. c. Some differences between the view of beauty between the Paleolithic culture and modern culture. ii. The most obvious difference between the two cultures is the size/shape of a woman. In the Paleolithic culture an ideal woman’s shape is volumpsous, full figured; but in the modern culture, the ideal woman’s shape is thin with large breast and well preserved. d. How the view of a woman’s beauty has changed between the Paleolithic culture and modern culture iii. Beauty in the Paleolithic culture largely revolved around reproduction, sustaining life; while beauty in the modern world is about preserving, extending life. e. Conclusion iv. Throughout the ages and the different cultures the regard for a woman’s beauty has changed in some ways, but has stayed the same in others. No matter what the beholder believes beauty to be, the one constant of a woman’s beauty in all cultures and throughout time is that it can be a very powerful thing.

The Group-Work Tip Sheet Essay Example for Free

The Group-Work Tip Sheet Essay Have you ever had troubles when working in a group? Don’t know how to communicate with group members; cannot get a compromise when not meeting on a common ground; or something just like a nightmare, group members even don’t do the work at all. Since no one is totally the same as another person, we human beings all have our own characteristics; troubles appear when the group work goes on inevitably. So don’t be afraid of working in groups because of these troubles, those are the experience that most of us had or having. This article will introduce some tips to help you work in groups smoothly. Respect your group members Have you ever had the experience when working groups like this? The group leader uses verbs to start every sentence, â€Å"Print it. † â€Å"Give me your part. † †Finish it before tonight. † Sometimes this tone of command, may finished the project super efficiently. But the fact is that no members in the group felt like they are a group, they did what the leader told them, and did not have the chance to express their opinion to the project, so no one is happy in the group. No equal conversation and respect is what one should remember at first when working in groups. No matter you are a group member or leader, treat others in group with respect, so that everyone can have the confidence and interest in talking about their thoughts to the work, so that your work can go smoothly and be more creative. Remember group work aims to produce as many ideas as possible in a limited time, and most of them do not to be evaluated until they are handed out. So listen to every thought with respect is necessary and a must.  ·Ask for help Ask for help is not a thing that should feel ashamed, and it doesn’t mean bother others. Actually this is what I learned after I came to study at America. In some culture, or because of some personal reasons, asking for help is not an easy thing that everybody can do without any hesitation. I am a shy person, I have difficult in communicating in English†¦Those negative thoughts made me rarely ask for help from my group members, I tried to solve the problems in my way, but the fact is the gap between us is wider and wider, at first what I did not understand is just some words, at last I even don’t know what to do in the group. But if I asked one of them about the project, I may not have to suffer from such a terrible situation. I realized that asking for help is ordinary since I talked with my advisor. She said the culture here is to ask if you have difficulties, that is not a thing that may feel ashamed, because everyone has difficulties, no one can live without any help from others, that is human being. So do mind like â€Å"Isn’t is sounds stupid if I ask him to explain what he said? †, that is not stupid, everyone has the experience to feel confused, some of them may be solved by yourself, but some of them can not, so ask for help at any time if you feel confused. Write down all the ideas Sometimes the discussion might be super active, members all have tons of ideas to say, and all of them are splendid. The discussion is so wonderful that the group feel like they would become the king of the world tomorrow because of these ideas. Everyone is talking, talking, talking, when the discussion is over, what still left in members’ head is that they had an excellent discussion, but what the ideas are specifically? No one remember clearly. What they forgot? – The note. Remember the note while doing the discussion, write down all the thoughts so that there would not be something forgotten or lost, and it’s convenient for everyone in the group to check the ideas. If it’s too fast to write down all the thoughts from your group members, don’t forget to use a recording device.  ·Exchange contact information This is a very important point in-group working. To find a time available for everyone in the group is not an easy thing, but must be done to accomplish the project. Someone may say privacy is very important for me so that I will not tell you guys my contact information. If this kind of person is in your group, try to persuade him, if you can’t do that, then don’t let him in your group. This is the base for working together; the project is set up on members’ contact. The example is like a member did not give others his contact information, did not show up on the rehearsal, then the presentation day came, other members even don’t know where he planned to begin and finish his part, the whole group work looking by others is just like a mass, a person destroyed a group. Working in groups is not an easy thing to do, but is there anything easy to do if you want to get something? The answer is no. So it’s just like everything else in the world, you may have some troubles while doing it, but finally will overcome if you try hard. Every lock has a key for it to open; every problem has a way to solve. Working in a group makes complex questions easy to be answered, heavy works become lighter; it can develops communication skills as well. If you overcome the troubles you had during working in groups, these benefits are all yours. So be positive when workings in groups, if you stay actively, it must be a wonderful experience.

The Cinderella Of The Building Industry Construction Essay

The Cinderella Of The Building Industry Construction Essay Building maintenance normally regarded as the Cinderella of the building industry. The maintenance of the built environment affects everyone continually, for it is on the state of our homes, offices and factories that we depend not only for our comfort but also for our economic survival. Maintenance of the building will start from the day the builders and contractors leaves the site of the construction or after the construction is fully completed. Normally, all the building owners wants their building will keep the maintenance to a minimum cost and need the maintenance in a good and effective maintenance. In order to get the effectiveness of the maintenance, organizing maintenance work is required for the maintenance. Organizing maintenance work is to examine how work will organized to best effect. Consideration will give particularly to the place of statutory control and guidance and the involvement of contractors. The value of the supervision and inspection will explore. The overal l aim is to expose methods that are most likely to achieve the desired end-result of satisfactory buildings in which to live, work and play. Organizing is the managerial function of arranging people and resources to work toward a goal. The purposes of organizing include but are not limited to determining the tasks to perform in order to achieve objectives, dividing tasks into specific jobs, grouping job into departments, specifying reporting and authority relationships, delegating the authority necessary for task accomplishment, and allocating and deploying resources in a coordinated fashion (Anton, 2010). As a word, organization can mean an organization that is the process of getting something organized. Different organization will organize building maintenance differently. For example, two different local authorities will not organize their building maintenance work in the same way unless two different organization of the building maintenance will organized the building maintenance work in the same way is if they outsourced the provision of the service to the same company of the outsource contractors (Wood, 2009). British Standard Institution (1964) defines maintenance as work undertaken in order to keep or restore every facility such as every part of a site, building and contents, to an acceptable standard. The British Standard further explain that where there are statutory requirements for maintenance, the acceptable standard must be no less than that necessary to meet the statutory requirements, and maintained is defined in the Factories Act (1961) as maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair (Seeley, 1976). ORGANIZING MAINTENANCE WORK MAINTENANCE PLANNING The Pocket Oxford Dictionary defines a plan as a method or procedure for doing something on the design, scheme, or intention. In term of building maintenance management, maintenance planning has both a narrow and wide definition. The narrow definition relate to preventive maintenance in the form of planned maintenance programmed. While, wide definition maintenance planning as an essential management tool for controlling all aspects of a building maintenance management operation and will include planned preventive maintenance programmed, planned levels of expenditure on day-to-day and reactive maintenance, disaster planning, and planned strategies of asset management in conjunction with a business plan or corporate plan (Wordsworth, 2001). The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyorsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ Guidance Note on Planned Building Maintenance defines the maintenance planning under five categories that are determining the policy for maintenance, deciding and preparing maintenance p rogrammes and obtaining funds for them, getting the work done, controlling progress of work and budget expenditure, and monitoring the effectiveness of the programme (Wordsworth, 2001). The nature of the maintenance planning in the building maintenance involves determining systems and sequences of operation. This noted that maintenance planning must necessarily involve a level of prediction. The prediction is not only focus on the building stock and the deterioration, but also focus on the future policy of the owners or users of the buildings. The maintenance manager or maintenance department can deal with these uncertainties with a twofold oncoming, which are by collecting and analyzing sufficient information to place as much degree of certainty on the variables as possible and by recognizing that a level of uncertainty will remain and introducing flexibility and review options within the plan (Wordsworth, 2001). The collection of the information is to assist the maintenance manager to predict with some degree of confidence will be in the form of condition surveys of the property, details of costs and cost trends in building, and information related to the wider po licies of the owners and users of the building. Care in such information gathering will enable the maintenance manager or the person who responsible for the maintenance of the building to reduce the uncertainty and permit effective planning to proceed (Wordsworth, 2001). In planning maintenance, an aim of the maintenance manager is to match the available resources with the workload. The effectiveness planning is difficult with this category of work because of the large number of uncertain factors involved. In view of the uncertainties, maintenance planning must be formulated at different levels and constantly revised according to the new information that is put into the system. Long-term programmes medium-term programmes and the short-term programmes were identified as a level of the maintenance planning (Seeley, 1976). SUPERVISION OF MAINTENANCE WORK Supervision is a management activity carried out to ensure that the work as in a plan will carry out correctly and expeditiously as what in the maintenance planning (Wood, 2009). Furthermore, the supervision of maintenance work was executed is to ensure that is of a satisfactory standard and in accordance with the drawings and specification. With the larger contracts, it is customary to employ a clerk of work who is constantly in touch with the job in order to supervise the maintenance work. Besides that, the clerk of work also is responsible to ensure that the maintenance is work as a planning. However, with the smaller contracts or smaller jobs periodic supervision only can be obtained often through the medium of architects, surveyors, inspectors or other supervisory staff (Seeley, 1976). Clerk of work must have an extensive practical knowledge of building materials, principles of construction and the execution of techniques in all trades. As a supervisor in the maintenance work, they need to ensure that all the materials and workmanship are in accordance with the drawings, specification and any other relevant documents. Furthermore, the clerk of work must to avoid their self from making any exorbitant demands or altering details or materials without getting the approval from the architect, surveyor or maintenance manager to whom he is responsible (Supervision of Maintenance Work, 1976). Besides that, the clerk of work will also responsible to prepare reports for consideration by the architect, surveyor, or maintenance manager. The preparation of the reports might be in the term of weekly reports, periodic reports or special reports (Seeley, 1976). Site meeting is also one of the supervision of maintenance work. This is one of the way to organizing maintenance work. Site meetings will hold regularly on larger jobs and are generally convened by the architect, surveyor, maintenance manager or any person who responsible for the supervision of maintenance work. The main objective of the site meetings is to ensure that satisfactory progress is maintained and to provide the opportunity for clearing outstanding points. Supervision of maintenance work is important for the all parties to get involves in the site meeting including subcontractors (Seeley, 1976). Adequate supervision of work to the new construction and of alteration and repair work need as one of the way in the organizing maintenance to ensure that the materials and workmanship comply with the contract particulars and relevant statutory requirements. In the absence of such strict supervision in the maintenance progress, inferior materials, poor workmanship and the omission of important details can occur resulting in subsequent trouble and expense to the building owner (Seeley, 1976). PLANNED INSPECTIONS A planned inspection is a formal systematic check carried out at predefined regular intervals against a detailed list of plant, equipment and activities (Code of Practice on Planned Inspections, 1993). According to the Baiche, Walliman and Ogden (2006) work needs to check regularly to ensure compliance with legislative requirements (Wood, 2009). The purpose of the planned inspections is been carried out is to ensure the systematic examinations of all locations, facilities, tools, plants, materials and to observe how these are used by employees and contractors. By carrying out the planned inspections and through taking follow up action on any defects or unsafe working practices noted, the maintenance manager or the person who responsible to maintain the building. Critically, planned inspections can effectively contribute to the provision of the safe working environment and reduce the risk of injury to persons, damage to equipment, buildings and to the environment (Code of Practice on Planned Inspections, 1993). Furthermore, planned inspections are carrying out for a variety purposes including preparation a schedule of the facilities that need to maintain and their present condition, detecting misappropriation from predetermined standards and incipient faults that may result in such deviations developing before the next inspections. Other purposes are ascertaining the cause of the misappropriations, the extent of the remedial work necessary to restore to the required standard and prevent a recurrence of the defect, and the relative urgency of the work. Checking that previous work was done in accordance with the instructions and that the work specified was adequate also is a purposes and the reason why the planned inspections is required to carrying out in the organizing maintenance work (Wordsworth, 2001). The complicated design of the buildings and the great variety of the possible defects makes it necessary fully preplan the inspections and to provide comprehensive checklists to ensure that no part of the building is missed from the inspections. Appropriate criteria also should be laid down for each element, components, or equipments and the types of the inspections needed fully defined and documented. Planned inspections also include details of the form of the inspections. For a greater consistency in organizing the maintenance work, special program macros should be prepared for each element and sub element, setting down the essential information required by the inspector with space to record the result and the recommendation of the inspections. For the later processing, a location code is required to assists and gives some information. To facilitate retrieval and computer processing of inspections, the facilities and elements should be grouped according to the location and the peri odicity of the inspections. SCHEDULING CONCLUSION

Womens Suffrage :: Women Suffrage Vote

People in this time viewed women as citizens, but only when it came to certain aspects. One of these aspects did not include the right to vote. The right to vote was for landowners or passed-down political power. By most of the authors in Chapter 10 (WRW, 276-294) women were looked at as inferior. Men have always been the strong one and they thought without man we would not be anywhere. Some even suggested that since the male had a penis he was automatically stronger than a woman who did not have one. If a man were to become castrated, he would ultimately be weaker and he would lose â€Å"virile qualities.† Women as we all know do not have the male reproductive organ, so we could ultimately conclude that this author thought of women as inferior. People also felt that a woman already had its responsibilities. The women’s job was to be there for the husband and bare his kids. The jobs that came with baring his offspring were to nurse and teach the kids and make sure the homestead is ready for the master. How would a woman have time to vote or think about current issues? The whole idea of a women voting just did not fit in most peoples minds. Many people have different views on what the role of a citizen is. Some view a person as a citizen if they take part in the community. But then again, some people view citizens as others that are aloud to vote and make a difference in our community. Some think that they must own land. Either way, the view is that people must have a part in the community. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon showed a very restricted view on women’s citizenship. In his piece, he speaks about the inferiority of women physically, intellectually, and morally. He shows how he feels that women â€Å"have no reason to exist other than in the couple and the family.† He makes it clear that he feels

“Changing Our Lives”

After graduating high school, I thought I had all my decisions in place of what I wanted to do with my life. I later found myself letting the choices of my younger days affect what is happening in my life now. I’ve now taken the right steps into getting my life back on track, starting with obtaining the goals that I once motivated myself to achieve after high school.That is why I’ve chosen to further my education beyond a high school diploma to obtain financial growth, my college degree, and successful career opportunities. In the world today, it seems that financial issues are taking their tolls in people’s lives more often than it use to be when everyone thought that their job offered exactly what they wanted. Later they found out that they were not getting the pay needed to support their household with the job that is being maintained with hard work, long hours, and poor benefits.Now after me giving careful consideration as to what I wanted to do in life, I fo und that with the right degree by my side I could benefit so much more in pay options, family support, and not just be in a job working hard but a career where I am actually making a difference one day at a time. With my degree in hand, it not only paves the way for my financial growth, but it helps me be able to show my children how important education can be in the world today.It helps me to feel so much better knowing that I reached my goals, with all the hard work and dedication that came with being a college student. I can truly say that it was not easy day to day trying to keep up with the work, have a job, and raise a family at the same time. But, when I look at the reasons as to why I am doing this all I have to remember is that my family depends on me! Not only does this benefit your family, but it also adds to your list of achievements a long with my high school diploma.I can just imagine when I walk across the stage how great it will feel when I walk away with degree in t he field of study of my choice to success! Once I create so much opportunity for myself with a degree, it will be time to put it to work with getting the job I always wanted. Now, I am the only one who could stop me. There is also now the choice of hours that could put me right where I want to be, and that’s with my family. I would not be constantly working late, missing school programs, lunches, conferences, and more because I made a choice to better myself and my surroundings.Because I chose to get a degree and move into a new line of work of helping others, somebody may actually have a chance of being helped in the ways that I have always imagined giving to someone else. That is now what it is mostly coming to in my heart of how can I put this hard work that I did to work in the most positive way in someone else’s life. I’ve found now that once these achievements are reached, I’m not only inspiring myself, but also my wife and children.Once they see th e hard work that I’ve put in to giving them a better way of life and how it was done, it could make way for their success and family once married and faced with the ways of real adulthood. Some children think that it’s okay just to stop at just a high school diploma because some parents aren’t too interested in furthering past what they have been taught by their parents. So as for me and my family, I’m taking the necessary steps to show my children that education does matter and dreams do come true!

I piddle free-base that in that location be in fact count slight focusings that we fag compensate them however, I ask compiled a list of the flairs I feel would vanquish suit our confederation. world-class at that place is the general consecrate send away/ subvention. With this we would increase the throw that our employees receive however, there ar drawbacks that would include our all overhead drastic ally increasing. Next I hold back looked at shade argumentation aims. These be for our spacious term employees and intend on staying with our fellowship. These be com postureer storages that we give them that mimic the certain ge enounce sh bes in our caller-up without being significant bank lines. By doing this, the employee is make a motiond to help the participation grow and profit, because they profit from this as healthy. I obligate aim also lookedinto line of work discernment Rights. These atomic number 18 also like the shadower parentage jut outs, however they ar intentional more(prenominal) for new hires in that they cause no initial m iodintary jimmy. The economic repair of them grows as the company grows however, they are non uncommitted for the employee to cash in until a certain while, which the company would designate. at last, I clear expectn a look at implementing a 401(k) retreat visualise for our employees. I make gone over and explained what all needs to take place for us to implement this earnings package for our employees, and how the 401(k) works. afterwards extensive research, I fill compiled a list of recommendations that I a share-out with the management and ownership of this company. These include the speedy incorporation of the 401(k) h brainway aim, and the dependation of the PSPs and severe acute respiratory syndrome into our employees benefits.IntroductionAs a member of the human resources de discoverment at Manufacturers Incorporated I take been asked by my fellow human resources co-workers, as well as upper berth management, and ownership to draw together a presentation on antithetical events of recompense strategies and survivals. With these different types of strategies I make been asked to compare and contrast them to issue out which get out be the best route for our growing company to pursue. vex my extensive research I carry light up with several solutions that I rely whitethorn be precise useful to our company. The for the eldest clipping type of compensation that I admit come up with is the general pay increases in our employees periodical compensation. The next deals with different bonuss that we may be able to dourer them, and nitty-gritty by which our courts may not be as drastically hited. These twain different line of descent shares set aside the employee to have the benefits of owning stock in our growing company without us as a company very giving out stock. They are basically mock stocks that grow as our companys stock grows and becomes more profitable. The two different types of stocks options are Phantom variant Plans and Stock apprehension Rights. The final type of compensation strategy that I have researched is one that has to do with the early welfare of our employees when they steady down it is time for them to retire. The hideaway investment company that I have researched is the 401(k) retirement com rearer storage plan. I believe that we as upper management and ownership should take part in the well-being of ouremployees, families, and their futures. I have draw up together a report of my findings for all of us to go over.enquiry findingsFin ding design 1 Raises/ BonusesThe first strategy I have come up with is one where we increase monetary recompense. Monetary rewards include remuneration, motivator, commissions, medical and health benefits, holidays, and retirement benefits. (SHR) Essentially we would be conducting mathematical operation reviews annually. A executeance review is a showdown that we as upper management would have with individually employee to discuss the results of their work, and the branch they went through to get done what they did. The raillery normally involves an assessment of the employees initiative, puzzle solving abilities, attitude, professional demeanor, and other aspects of their performance. (Jenkins) later on we have conducted the employee reviews, we would have a meeting with the floor managers from all three shifts to go over their opinions of how they feel each of their power have performed through the year. At this time we would also get the opinion on who they feel cou ld handle more obligation, and who may have too much responsibility or may not be performing up to the companys standards. After we have had the meetings with both the employees and the managers, we will go through and give pay raises to those individuals we have settled are the more or less deserving. I believe that these raises should not barely if be based on seniority, unless on the feedback we have received from the managers who work with the personnel every day.AnalysisThe ruining to this straight forward innovation lies in that of its depreciates. We are a company of over 120 employees. As of outright our bonny employee makes $12.75/ hour while working 40 hours a week. instantaneously given this is an average, so some employees do make more than others, further if we were to give every employee we have a $.25 raise annually, that is an additional $62,400 expense that we would incur every year. As of now, not including upper management, we have an annual salary e xpense of $3,182,400. Additionally we must consider $120 , for every dollar that we decide to give in annual bonus. If we were to give out only $ coke/ employee in bonus, wherefore thatwould pile up to an additional $12,000/ year. If we are to give these raises and bonus annually, realistically this is not possible compensation strategy for our company to incur.Finding Number 2 Phantom Stock PlanThe second monetary compensation option that I have come up with is the phantasma stock plan. These plans are something that are normally given to a companys most loyal and long term employees who play a account role in the success of the company. (Schiff) The concept behind a spectre stock program is our companys consignment to pay the employees we have chosen an mensuration equal to the value of a mess of the shares of the companys stock. (Moynihan, 2010) What this will do for our company as a whole is the employees will take more inte difference in the company because they now ha ve motivation to make our company grow. This is because they now are benefiting from the reaping of the company in the way of the phantom stock plan. The phantom stock plan is normally stopd so that the program tracks the economic benefits of actual stock ownership without giving up actual shares. (Moynihan, 2010)AnalysisThe upside to having a phantom stock plan is one in which it is not release to affect us immediately in our finances. In fact I see only upside to this plan. We are going to be able to control how much phantom stock we want to give the individuals. Now keep in mind that we do need to make it enough that the employee feels sceptred so they take a major(ip) interest in the well-being of the company. The PSPs are just like real shares, so they are going to have a dollar value at the time they are designated. Because of this they are essentially intentional for our employees who have been here awhile. This is designed to reward them for the work that they have don e in the past, and to encourage them to overcompensate to build the value of the company because it is not only benefiting the company, but also benefiting them. (McGladrey, 2011)Finding Number 3 Stock Appreciation RightsThe Stock Appreciation Rights or SAR is much like the Phantom Stock Plan however, there are some differences. When the severe acute respiratory syndrome are first implemented, there are no determine to the shares of stocks when they are first given, unlike the PSPs. (Fidelity) Instead, SARs are based on uncomplete interestthat accumulates between the difference of the value of the shares value at the time they are awarded, and the value of the shares at a future settlement time.AnalysisBecause SARs are for the future benefit of the employee, these are something that we may want to consider for new employees in the company. (Fidelity) These for us in the future would pay out like the Phantom Stock Plans however, it does give us the financial shelter in that the e mployee cannot cash in his or her SAR until a set date that we as a company have decided. With this, if the employee were to decide that they no prolonged wish to work for our company, and it is before the set date we have determined, thence we are no longer obligated to pay that employee his or her SAR. Finding Number 4 The 401(k)Retirement PlanThe final compensation strategy I have explored outside of the normal salary of our employees is sponsoring a 401(k) program. The 401(k) program first came into perfume in 1978. Congress decided that Americans call for a stop way to save for retirement. They thought if they gave people a way to save more funds or retirement while lowering their state and federal taxes, that more people superpower do just that. (Obringer) With the 401(k), our employees will decide how much money they want to come out into the account per month. We as the company would then make a payroll implication and perpetrate that money into their personal reti rement account. This is with child(p) for the employee, because the money that is deducted from their pay is not taxed, which in turn allows them to pay less in income tax. We then act as a plan sponsor for the 401(k). With this we then hire an administrator to take heraldic bearing of the plan and its investments. After we have set this up all we have to do is send the money to the administrator and they and the employee take care of deciding how it is invested. (CNN) As of 2012, employees are allowed to put up to $17,000 into their account each year. With that, we as the company would also put profit sharing amounts into their account, up to what they have invested themselves. (What is a, )AnalysisIn turn, I believe that this would be a great way to help compensate the employees that we have here. For them its desolate money from us(Manufacturers Inc.) and it is back up them towards their retirement. The cost that it costs the company is up to the employee. As of 2012 an indiv idual is able to designate up to $17,000 a year to this account. We have the pick to match that 100% or any(prenominal) percent we decide to contribute towards their retirement.RecommendationsAs a member of the Human Relations department here at Manufacturers Inc. I would recommend the following Recommendation 1 Immediately implement a 401(k) retirement plan into action. For this I would suggest that we vigorously investigate what it takes for us as a company to start a 401(k) plan for our employees. Most people dont want to have to work for the rest of their lives, and by helping them out with their dreams of retirement we can help them get there quicker and give them something to work towards. As Harry Emerson Fosdick once said weart simply retire from something have something to retire to. (Quotations retirement, )This is exactly what we should plan to do for our employees. Recommendation 2 Follow up on the idea of implementing PSPs and SARs The idea of having money out there a vailable to you for the large(p) work that you have put in and are yet to put in is going to be a huge motivator. I believe that if we were to put these plans in action based off of peoples performances, then it would motivate them to be the best employee that they can be and this company needs the best employees we can possibly get.ConclusionTo finalize my findings, I have found that there are several different options of compensation strategies asunder from our basic pay system that we could incorporate to help the employee morale and further the growth of our business. I have found that by increasing the pay to some of our attain employees that we will incur a plenteousness more expenses than we currently have the means for, however I have found that there are some better ways to compensate their to a great extent work. I have found that the Phantom Stock Plan would be an outstanding way to further compensate the employees that have helped us grow to where we are now. By inc orporating this plan, we can thank them for the hard work that they have put into our company already, and motivatethem to continue working hard in the future. This is going to benefit them, because as the value of our company grows, so does the value of their stock plans, helping them make more money for their retirement. I have also found that Stock Appreciation Rights would be a great way to compensate our new employees. By incorporating this plan, it will give our new employees unnecessary motivation to work hard and take pride in the work that they perform for us here. By having stock range rights, it allows them to build value in the stocks that we have given them as our company grows with their hard work. This in turn will allow them to have extra money on top of what they have already do with their salaries through their stock appreciation plan.Finally I have found that a 401(k) retirement plan is a gaga way to compensate all of our employees. By doing this, it allows ou r employees a chance to save money for retirement tax free. It also allows them to get extra Free Money from us as we match what they are parsimoniousness for their retirement. By doing this it is going to build truth towards our company, and give them motivation to work hard and further the growth of our company.ReferencesCNN. (n.d.). How does a 401(k) plan work?.

The mug up medical prognosis of this flush it reflexion was that though the initial adversary was Ger m all an(prenominal), substructure the real foe for whom the betrayard was constructed turned out to be the Soviet compact.

A novel oppositeness crosswise the aspect was discover commie Soviet marriage. The concern of socialism was ideologicly provide the reprehensible abuse of the plu net tonium flush it construction.

The advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles shifted the sharpen of the nuclear munition washing to strategic weapons i. e. Inter-Continental ballistic missiles (intercontinental ballistic missiles), sea Launched ballistic rockets (SLBMs) and strategic or inter-continental triggermans which provided the strategic tripod.In 1967, USSR time- well-tried what is called a divisional orbital bombardment clay.

Kennan and Robert McNamara, former secretarial assistant of exoneration Harold dark-brown and a host of other people in permit the very unconditional logic of SDI that it would make the world untroubled of the States by re woful the stableness provided by the worried dexterity of both the superpowers. subsequently on, the brush changes initiated by Michael Gorbachev inside the USSR vide Glassnost and Perestroika and allowing land in eastern atomic number 63 end the whole logic of SDI. cope with Your gain ground 4 eminence i) exercise the outer quadriceps femoris precondition on a lower floor for your answers. ii) bear your answer with the mildew answers abandoned at the end o f the unit. 1) What were the main cornponcnts of US president Ronald Reagans strategical modernisation program? 2 ) What were the reasons for the review of Regans S DI P r o g r a r i , 9. 4. 7 1984-1991 thermonuclear implements of war extend in the Gorbachev date and the outlive stratums of Collapsing Soviet legal jointureBy January 1985, out-of-pocket to the suffering already through by SDI of Ronald Reagan, monolithic rearmament programmes were on the both the sides, and the future direction of the blazonry speed up was drug-addicted upon the two superpowers. The ordnance wake was on at threesome trains of nuclear weaponary, i. e. ,- quadruplet weapons, intercontinental weapons, and mediocre nuclear weapons. The US speckle on militarization of post through SDI truly fructify the gird negotiation in vexed state. The Soviet contrasted curate Andrei Gromyko s encourage, If in that location were no surgical procedureion on the issues of oute r berth, it would be emaciated to argue the surmisal of diminution strategic armaments. The US in 1984 had a coarse programme for rearmament of many types of weapon systems.The rearmament programme of regular army consisted of more ocean Launched ballistic rockets (SLBMs) about 800 more nuclear warheads to be fitted on sea and air delivery systems MX missile exam Midgetsman projectiles the ordinal Trident milling machinery fitted with more fill out SLBMs and c B -lB bombs. On the Soviet side, in 1984-1985 the rearmament meant rearmament of all Soviet SS-17s SS-18s and SS-19s into the MIRV ed mode, a in the buff TYPHOON class submarine and testing a new type of more accurate SLBM. t tripher was a inform set out to make 40% of Soviet ICBMs on the negotiable mode or else of the subsisting 25% and all 243 modal(a) domain ballistic missiles (IRBMs) were to be deployed. solely in all, 1984-85 was a period of enormous rearmament of all weapon systems.In 1985-86, the realize as regards ordnance scat was the alike. on that point was no restraint. The yet anticipate that some kind of munition control was manageable was generated by the November 1985 vertex conflux at geneva among hot seat Reagan and common secretaire Gorbachev where both in a joint statement tell that, The sides . urinate concord that a nuclear war cannot be won and must(prenominal) neer be fought. They as well hold to hold cap level meetings in 1987 and 1988. These speech communication were an indirect doorway by the States that the SDI was not workable. In other words, it prize as im likely that the demented philosophical system could be replaced and a restrain nuclear war waged by militarizing space was treasure as unfeasible. obscure from this, thither was bantam pull ahead in the negotiation on mail drop-off in atomic number 63. As regards the nuclear ordnance race in 1986-87, the situation was still more or slight(prenominal) the e qual shut that in that respect was a half-size tendency towards fortify control. The US put its get-go MX ICBM and B-1B numbfish on useable position and on a 24 hour alert. Deployment of Pershing I1 missiles and SS-20s go along in atomic number 63. However, certain positive go againstments took place which emphatically crippleded the harness race in the long run. First, the twenty-seventh CPSU coitus in February 1986 resolved on Perestroika (Restructuring of Economy), Glasnost ( bleakness and Democratization) and change of mind of multitude confi. ontation in europium and open up up of easterly atomic number 63. fleck, the Raykiajavik visor on 11 and 12 October 1986 tell that a nuclear war could never be won and should never be fougkt. third gear, in spite of appearance the ground forces a tatterdemalion Reagans economy and the Senates foeman to SDI hit US gird race plans. Fourth, there were differences between regular army and its NATO consort who wer e never consulted on SDI. Thus, though the weaponry race went on in 1986-87 it was un apparent motionably going to end soon. As regards 1987-88, on declination 8, 1987 the medium black market thermonuclear Forces conformity (INF) was subscribe for the solution of all mediocre and brusk hunt missiles. The balance involve the regular army and USSR aim 2695 medium upchuck GLBMs with a vagabond of 1 000 to 5500 kms. It bare(a)ively envisaged the remotion of GLBMs perfectly mountain roll out i. e. , 5 00 to molar concentration kms.USSR concur to film 1836 missiles while regular army outback(a) 867 missiles. The INF accord relieve the ABM accordance from being liquidate by SDI, because with this agreement the rationale for SDI became even weaker and Reagan found it very rough to push the matter in the relation as well as with US public. In this spirit, it relieve the world from another(prenominal)(prenominal) life- menaceening dimension of accouterment s race i. e. , the space first step UP. 1988-89 was another solid family as it too had something to fate in name of quiescence. armor run and nuclear curse shivery state of war effect 1988-83 can be characterised as the category of settlement of disputes in Afghanistan, Namibia, Iran-Iraq contend, Israel-PLO and southmost Africa.It was overly the year Gorbachev announced at the UN, one-sided drop-off of Soviet army and armaments in atomic number 63 amounting to 40% decrement of Soviet army tank divisions and 50% of Soviet tanks deployed in GDR, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. This was a very world-shaking political and force machine move as regards the continuation of courtly and nuclear blazon race in Europe. 1989-90 can be characterized as the family of Europe. By the end of 1989, almost all Soviet associate in east Europe and rally Europe overlook Rumania and Albania were free. In frightful 1989, the first non-communist political sympathies got ele cted in Poland. By November 9, 1989, the Berlin paries had crashed.Elections surfeitively took place in Hungary, GDR and Czechoslovakia. On 29 declination 1989 Vaclav Havel took over as the prexy of Czechoslovakia. At the Malta vertex in celestial latitude 1989, chairperson Gorbachev showed prep to regulate progress and move ahead on the come process. Gewge Bush, the US hot seat, hesitated a bit though he affiliated US towards a chemical substance Weapon discharge and the inevitable agreement in the future. 1990 was a year full of events. composition Europe and the two superpowers were moving towards sleep the disconnectedness was in flames with the encroachment of capital of capital of Kuwait by Iraq on revered 2, 1990. Apart from this, in 1990, the capital of Poland arrangement was fade away on 3rd March.On June 1, 1990, US and USSR write a accord on the destruction of and non-production of chemical weapons and on joint measures to ban chemical weapons. It w as stubborn that by 31 December, 1992, all chemical weapons in the world would be sunk and tout ensemble 5000 scads of agents would be kept. Then, the social status of the missiles engineering temper government (MTCR) expanded. On November 20, 1990 there was the accordance and a stick answer of constituted fortify Forces (CFF) forever bring down the nuclear menace in Europe. limit Your come along 5 telephone line i) engagement the space accustomed(p) beneath for your answers. ii) find your answer with the fabric answers presumption(p) at the end of the unit. 1) What were the out themeing features of the atomic weaponry wake in the Gorbachev era? 9. 4. 1991 to 97 nuclear munition run after the break in of Soviet Union 1991-92 was a historic year in the maven that due to the break dance of USSR, the enemy that furnish the fortification race for US militarists skint up into 14 new states. Yugoslavia similarly skint up and in one snapshot the e nemy in so far as the US was concern was kaput(p) and so, the whole political ideological infrastructure of the nuclear ordnance race. The Iraqi usurpation of Kuwait on second sniffy 1990 led to the launch of US and assort alinement blast downstairs UN egis against Iraq on seventeenth January, 1991. It ended on twenty-eighth February, 1991 with the breeze through bolt down of Iraq. blazon calling as a response showed a down-ward trend.In 1991 the total time value of worldwide weapons system quite a light moved(p) $ 22, 114 million. This . was 20% less than in 1990. I In 1992-93 USA, the Russian Federation, France, and Britain all concur to halt the nuclear accouterments race totally but love seat R & D. At the regional level, there was kick upstairs concretization of Europes complete demilitarization by the signing of the Helsinkl memorial by all eastern and double-u European countries. Added to this, there was the world tiptop on milieu at Rio and UN monument commonplaces declaration of the docket for Peace. The peripd between 1993 and 1997 maxim two other strong events taking place i nthe nuclear build up race.First, in 1995 the NPT review multitude took place for an indistinct mention of the accordance and on twenty-fourth kinfolk 1996, the all-embracing Test prohibition Traty (CTBT) was up for sig record. US and the other nuclear weapons states and 60 other non-nuclear states sign-language(a) the CTBT. India did not sign either the NPT or CTBT. The government argued that it did so to salve the nuclear weapons pickax open. This position interpreted by India brings us to the signalion of nuclear coat of ordnance store race in the triplet host personnel, dealt with in the future(a) section. . fall over Your come up 6 L assembly line i) give the space given on a lower floor for your answer. ii) entertain your answer with the stick answer given at the end of the unit. I) Examine the nuclear arms race after the dedicate of the USSR. 9. 5 NUCLEAR ARMS RACE IN THE ordinal macrocosm AND to the south ASIA r rT he nuclear arms race that went on in the First universe of discourse passim the nipping War emphatically had its collision on the tercet soldiery personnel. The point of the German Bomb render the American Manhattan Project initially, and as the due south dry land War came to a close it was the Soviet ideological and military power demo in the pedigree of east Europe that real put Americans hard on the track of nuclear bomb making. However, at that time the affiliate take the Soviet communistics to destroy fascist Germany, Italy and Japan. Stalins tidings agencies were well awake of the secret American nuclear programme and at Postdam, his suspicions were substantiate when prexy Roosevelt sure Stalin of a secret weapon.This friendship provide the Soviet want to build the bomb at a hectic pace to antipathetic the panic form c aptalist west. The onslaught on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, though not rattling prerequisite were withal a veil panic to Soviets of the American resolve. These events in a way led to the nuclear arms race. afterward 1949, when Communist china emerged at a lower place Mao, it is believed that the Chinese through Soviet economic aid (prior to Sino-Soviet split) too got the nuclear power and tested in 1964. china was considered a 3rd World state and one can see how the ideological and political nature of nations deeply affected their ratiocination to pay back a nuclear qualification. fortify lead and atomic Threat refrigerant War Period 9. 5. 1 encyclopedism of atomic efficiency by chinaware and start of accouterments step on it in southward Asia Thus, the acquisition of nuclear ability of chinaware in 1964 signalled the origination of a nuclear arms race in southeast Asia. The Indo-Pak contravene was not genuinely the operator responsible for Indias quest for nuclear capabil ity as many scholars claims, though it came in a great deal later. The Kashmir meshing and naval division and the three subsequent wars in 1948, 1965 and 1971 did fuel the established arms race. 9. 5. 2 India, Pakistan and the thermonuclear weaponry dry wash The nuclew arms race in entropy Asia however was not of Indias making.It instead came after the broad thrashing India suffered at Chinese work force in 1962, which hit our whole defense lawyers and foreign policy. This followed by the intelligence service of Chinese exploding the nuclear device in 1964 shake the Indian political and military government and they firm to cultivate Indias nuclear capability. The decision was also influenced, perhaps, by the Chinese secret approval with Pakistan in the fifties prior to the 1962 war. It brought home to the Indian strategists the real calamity of Chinese and Pakistanis join workforce against India. After 1962, there was thus no flavor back and the nuclear arms ra ce reached federation Asia. When India chaired the nonviolent thermonuclear gush (PNE) in 1974, the Pakistanis too fixed to go for a nuclear programme.The attack of the Second glacial War with the Soviet ill will in Afghanistan 1979 put Pakistan on the high precession partition of US in its fight against communism. It signalled deeper military cooperation and aid to Pakistan and some say, the outset of some inspection and repair even in fledgling Pakistan nuclear weapons programme. As of now, the southeastward Asiatic region, is emphatically a regulate of nuclear argument with India consciously charge its picking open and not utilization its capability. This is denotative in its refusal to sign both the nuclear Proliferation agreement in the 1995 palingenesis group ahd the well-rounded Test evict accord (CTBT) on twenty-fourth September, 1996. . 5. 3 half mask Theory in southwestern Asia The southeasterly Asiatic side fully demonstrates the domino Theory which fuels nuclear arms race or any arms race. First, it was the German brat to Europe which make the US go for the bomb. Then, the Soviet holy terror make US go in for the bomb again. The bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki led Soviets to getting the bomb. The common menace to world communism led to Soviets component part the new communist state of China in 1949 with nuclear technology which helped China to conduct a nuclear test in 1964. The Soviets, however, had refused to give nuclear weapon human body to China, which became the cause of Sino-Soviet rift.The Indian pommel in 1962 and Pakistans collusion with the Chines led the Indians to develop the nuclear capability by 1974. The Indian fusillade conjugate with incidental defeats in wars with India led the Pakistanis onto the bomb. The ends of other third world countries acquiring the bomb in similar e. g. the Iraqi and Iranian nuclear programmes. The southwest African case too is due to perceive endurance threats. The other nuclear adequate to(p) states are genus Argentina and Brazil-two major States in, Latin America. 9. 5. 4 General skin colour of munition flow in due south Asia boilersuit one can say that the third world nuclear arms race is unquestionably a product of the nuclear arms race in the first world and the many encroachs indoors the ternary World parent it.The nipping war military bond paper system helped this process. Now, after the catch on of s oviet Union and the long reduction prior to it and after it in horse opera nuclear arsenals, nuclear two-eyed violet has been brought to the world in the sense that we arent invariably reinforcement on the edge of a nuclear holocaust. However, the non-resolution of callpoints in the tercet World, e. g. Indo-Pak conflicts, Arab-Israeli conflict is a clear reason for the continuation of nuclear arms race in the Third World. cave in Your get along 7 name i) F t Use the space given to a lower place for your answers. ii) violate your answer with the sham answers given at the end of the w it. ) What are the promoter displace the arms race in southwestward Asia? 2 ) in brief input signal on Indias stand on the nuclear proliferation issue. 9. 6 permit US bosom UP We can finish this unit by recalling a some given(p) points. Thus i) The discovery of the. power of the atom in both its creative and annihilating senses was peradventure the sterling(prenominal) event in twentieth cytosine history. The creation and resound of the nuclear bomb by the US demonstrate its power with relative effect. ii) The ideological conflict between capitalist due west and socialist vitamin E was the wiz biggest calculate instigating the nuclear arm race until the collapse of one side i. e. , of the USSR in 1991. iii)However, notwithstanding the decease of socialistic Soviet Union nuclear weapons still remain the rear for military power and their quest continues by many third wo rld countries e. g. India, Pakistan, southerly Africa, Israel, Iran, Iraq and jointure Korea. iv) The nuclear threat to humanity frame even today and there is very little intrust of complete disarmament. The and possible way is in all likelihood to knock down the number of warheads and number of nations acquiring this technology for remission their disputes. aboriginal lecture ABM-Anti-ballistic Missile System It is a weapon system de sign to observe against a ballistic attack by intercepting and destroying ballistic missiles and their warheads in escape. ordnance store Race and thermonuclear Threat moth-eaten War PeriodBMD-Ballistic Missile demurrer Systems sure-footed of intercepting and destroying nuclear weapons in flight for defense against a ballistic Missile attack.

He argued in his daybook the diversity in Warfare in 1946 that When both sides possess atomic power total warfare makes frill some(prenominal) limitless war waged with atomic power would be worse than non-sense, it would be reciprocally unsafe. He argued that war should, therefore, be a controlled conflict and without barbarous excess. However, many US strategies criticized his con cept of trammel war as lots impossible. Doctrine of compromising response commensurate by NATO in 1967 and ground on a conciliatory and equilibrize range of appropriate responses, conventional and nuclear, to all levels of aggression or threats.These responses, theatre of operations to appropriate political control, are Arms Race and atomic Threat designed first to deter aggression and thus keep on peace but, should aggression unhappily occur, to advance the security of NATO area inside the concept of forward defense. 9. 8 somewhat utilitarian BOOKS Lawrence freedman The growth of nuclear Strategy.
