...certain types of discrimination. The term privileges immunities and is related to civil rights. Privileges and immunities encompass all rights of individuals that relate to people, places, and real and personal property. Privileges include all of the legal benefits of living in the United States, such as the freedom to sell land, draft a will, or obtain a divorce. Immunities are the protections afforded by law that prevent the government or other people from hindering another's enjoyment of his or her life, such as the right to be free from illegal searches and seizures and the freedom to practice religion without government persecution. Public order means to function or act in a manner that is non offensive to the public. You can't incite someone to violence and you can't just shoot of your windows. Maintain public order is very important because crime is hard enough to stop as it is. With out having any type of public order there would be people committing crimes and bad things happening every second of everyday, so law enforcement would not be able to keep up with all the issues occurring. When it comes to maintaining public order, civil rights can be effected in the process. Civil rights vs. public order can become a huge problem in many areas. When this issue tends to get worse when there are national threats within our country because everybody feels like they need to take more precautions in order to be safe. For example, after 9/11 airports and any type of...

...My Skin, My Life At the beginning of time, racism was not something people had to deal with. As time progressed people views changed because the color of some ones skin color. We all face it everyday whether you notice it or not. You may be judged because of what kind of car you have, or even by the neighborhood you stay in. Racism is still going on in America even after the bloodiest war we have ever seen 620,000 men lost their lives. Seems terrible right? One question I still ask myself why would we as Americans fight each other based on our skin color? This is what led me to interview my roommate Aban Morisetty, about how he feels about the color of his skin. The interview took place in a small study room, where it was just me and him. I first asked the main question. Have you ever experienced racism? He looked at me weird, but then he went on to state that he does experience it. He said “every time I go to the airport people always eye me.” Aban grew up in Multan a small country in Pakistan. As you know people in America these days look at his race to be the cause of 9/11. See, the one thing done by one person in your race pretty much determines the outcome of how people view you in the future. The next question comes up “How does it make you feel every time you walk in a airport?” He goes on to say that “he doesn’t like the way he is looked at because his skin color. People automatically suspect me to be a terrorist. I even do the simple things, like try to dress like...

...9/11 was one of the most known national tragedies in the United States. According to the Washington Post, more than two-hundred and sixty three government policies were either created or reorganized following the attacks. The newspaper found that more than twelve hundred government policies plus organizations and nineteen hundred private companies do work related to counter-terrorism, homeland security, and intelligence ("9/11 to Now: Ways We Have Changed"). At 9:05 A.M. President Bush is sitting in the second-grade class when a man named Andrew Card tells him that another plane has struck the twin towers. By 9:12 A.M. President Bush leaves the school and is already in touch with New York officials as well as the Vice President, Dick Cheney...

...Paper: Why Airport Security Should Be Stronger When we think of airport security, it’s words like “ugh” or “phew” that come about in our minds because we all know how frustrating getting onto airplanes can be. We have to be body searched, our bags have to go through an airport baggage system, and flights may get delayed due to natural causes. While it is true that airport security is an impatient job, it does not necessarily follow that airport security should not be stronger. September 11, 2011 will be a day that I will never forget. Being picked up from kindergarten by my mother, listening on the radio and hearing the fear in my mother’s voice, something was wrong. Being five years old, I knew very little as to what the situation was. At 8:45 AM ET on that day, the first plane hijacked the north tower of the World Trade Center. The building goes into smoke as bodies jump to their deaths, one by one, as life flashed before their eyes. Exactly 18 minutes later, at 9:03 AM ET, the second plane crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. America knew that this wasn’t an accident, but this was a terrorist attack on the United States. Situations as such make me question how strong airport security really is. It is not just terrorism that I am worried about when it comes to the strength of airport’s security systems, but other situations like Ebola coming from Africa into the United States and illegal drug smuggling concerns me, as well. Although airport security is...

...Seitu Stephens COM/156 April 29, 2012 Research Paper: Airport Security Airport security includes the procedure of guarding public transportation by airplane, as well as the terminals from which passengers of aircraft arrive and depart. Airport security has drawn the attention of the American public for invasive pat-downs, body scans and various news reports on concerns from TSA on failures to catch contraband items. A lot of people often wonder what is the reason for pat downs and body scans. Pat-downs are used to resolve alarms at the checkpoint, including those triggered by metal detectors and units. Pat-downs are also used when a person chooses out of screening in order to detect potentially dangerous and prohibited items. Because pat-downs are specifically used to resolve alarms and prevent dangerous items from going on a plane, the vast majority of passengers will not receive a pat-down at the checkpoint. All passengers have important rights during a pat-down. You have the right to request the pat-down be conducted in a private room and you have the right to have the pat-down witnessed by a person of your choice. All pat-downs are only conducted by same-gender officers. The officer will explain the pat-down process before and during the pat-down. Instead of making everyone strip down, the TSA has organized a type of body scan screening machine that let passengers skip the undressing part. The machine “undresses” you by using either x-rays or millimeter radio waves. The...

...Chapter 1 Management and Organizations |GUIDE TO SELECTED REVIEW AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS | | 1. How do managers differ from nonmanagerial employees? The answer to this question used to be straightforward, but the line between managerial and nonmanagerial employees has blurred as more employees take on task once reserved for managers. To keep the answer from becoming too complicated, the best way to address this question is to focus on the fact that a manager’s job is about helping others do their work. 2. Is your course instructor a manager? Discuss in terms of managerial functions, managerial roles, and skills. Course instructors (in contrast to individuals who hold positions such as department head) are not usually classified as managers. In most situations, a course instructor does not fall within the definition of a manager when utilizing managerial functions, mainly because students are clients rather than employees. In some cases, an instructor has little input about course content or how it is to be taught. In these instances, the instructor makes few managerial decisions. In terms of managerial roles, course instructors may be involved in some ways in the interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles. For example, a course instructor could be seen as a liaison (interpersonal role), a monitor and disseminator (both informational roles), and a disturbance handler and...

...watching the Arab bombing the United States Twin Towers, at that time I really did not understand what was going on. Until our teacher was explaining it to us and she pulled up a video and showed us. I felt sad and horrified for all the people who were losing their lies. I had never heard of terrorists before so I was also really nervous. I was terrified at the thought that there were people out there who despised our country so much that they wanted to kill us. So in my paper I will be talking about the short term and the long term effects that it had on us. Topic I: Short Term Effects A. Military Operations (Iraq War) B. Domestic Response: Hate Crimes against Muslims C. American Reactions (created groups to help those injured) Topic II: Long Term Effects A. Economy Decline (Stocks and unemployment rate ) B. Health Effects (toxins spread to residential areas in NYC) C. Government Policies (More security, airport security, anti-terrorism acts) I. Short Term Effect A. Military Operations In the meantime dealing the attack on 9/ 11 our government has been financing war related tasks in Iraq and with the Global War on Terror. With these funds the Pentagon has been separated up into three different parts: you have Operation Noble Eagle (ONE) and they are to offer defense to the US and increase the security. Next, is Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), they help with fighting operation in Afghanistan and terror operation. Last, is Operation Iraqi...

...Although he was subsequently sued by Canada 3000 for providing inaccurate financial information, the case was never tried because Canada 3000 went into bankruptcy protection in November 2001. In June 2002 he launched Jetsgo. On Friday March 11,2005. Just before the busy Spring-break travel week, Jetsgo entered bankruptcy protection stranding thousands of passengers who could not return home and annoying those who could not leave on their spring-break holiday. Throughout its short life, Jetsgo was plagued with both financial and maintenance problems. Leblanc kept operating costs low by: • paying low wages; • making pilots pay for their own training; • leasing old aircraft; • minimizing space parts inventory by flying only two types of airplanes: the McDonald Douglas Md-83 and the Fokket F100; and • promoting ticket sales through the Internet. Despite these cost saving moves,...

...Delta Airlines * Delta Airlines has a 3 tiered structure that organizes the power down from the CEO into subdivisions. As seen in the chart below, the CEO holds all the power of the tiers and the COO is in charge of the in-flight service, strategy & real estate, and airport customer service. Most of these subdivisions require certifications and entail you to be your own supervisor. All of these positions are necessary for the company to succeed and thrive. Without any given part of the organizational structure it would surely fail. * You can compare this structure to a more totem pole structure like Buca Di Beppo. They don’t have tiers but have a pecking order. It starts with the corporate office, or planet Hollywood. Then it goes down the line from all the major positions CEO > VP > AVP > HR department (of corporate division) > Regional Manager of different states > General Manager of 1 store > AGM > sales manager > kitchen manger > supervisor > lead server > server > host > kitchen staff. In this structure there is a major line of command to be talked through before you can reach the VP or CEO, unlike the Delta Airlines where you can easily reach anyone. * Another structure is like the organization I Currently work for which is a 2 tiered structure. It consists of the Owners on top and everyone else on an equal playing field that directly deals with the owners no one else. I like this structure...
