...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research. Read through these directions and the requirements for this assignment BEFORE making your choice. Materials needed for this project - ---note cards (preferably 3x5 lined) ---folder with pockets to keep all research materials in ---access to internet and reference books A.

...Potential Careers in Sports Management Esther Cole University of Incarnate Word This is my very first course in sports management and I have learned that there are many paths I could take once I graduate. Right now it is too early to feel passionate about any one career path. I will discuss various careers in sports management and I how feel about them now as I am just starting out. I hope to look back at this paper when I am finished and see if my views and opinions have changed. The Number of students who decide to get a MBA in sports management has grown significantly since the recession. A Ba in sports management was not producing jobs that many hopeful students thought it would. The sports industry was not immune to the recession like many people thought. Some people thought that the sports business would never feel the effects of the recession but they were wrong. Both the NBA and the NFL cut jobs during the recession and this caused a ripple effect with new graduates. They were forced to take low paying jobs working in the industry but as ticket sellers or working in the concessions. Still others who felt there was no other option took unpaid internships in the hope of landing a job afterward (Belson, 2009). Sports management degrees date back to the 1970’s with a rocky start. The degree was not seen as legitimate, “many academics mocked them for teaching how to mix Gatorade” (Wecker, 2011). The program has come a long way and has advanced into a masters level and...

...This paper provides a conceptual discussion of “research ethics”. What does the term “ethics” signify and how does it apply to the practice of research? What obligations do you take on when you “collect data” that purports to reflect something of the thoughts and experiences of others, and then synthesize such material into research study “accounts”? In this paper I will discuss one of the hotly debated issues in educational research - ethics.[1] Ethics has to do with moral beliefs and rules about right and wrong, and it is the task of the researcher to follow the ethics of the study in order to protect the participants from various harms. However, the practical aspects of research ethics are much more complex than might be anticipated. Thus, I will explore complexities, challenges and dilemmas of ethics in this paper. I will provide a conceptual framework of ethics ✓ What it is ✓ Dilemmas ✓ Consent ✓ Confidentiality ✓ Privacy ✓ Betrayal ✓ Deception then describe my personal experience of addressing ethical issues while conducting a research. Conceptual Framework What is Ethics? Ethics has to do with treating research participants with respect and morality. “Nothing is more indicting to a professional than to be charged with unethical practices” (Bogdan and Bicklen, 1992, p. 49). Ethics requires considerate efforts and care. As Hitchcock & Hughes (1993...

...The Restructure of GE Healthcare’s Service on Medical Equipment Introduction GE Healthcare is a global known publicity traded company that is headquartered in the United Kingdom. GE Healthcare is among the top companies worldwide providing high-end medical equipment and service to hospitals and clinics. The organization I based my OCI paper on is a small section of GE Healthcare that is in charge of providing and servicing high-end medical equipment to the Chicago land area. This area is called the Heartland LCT (Local Customer Team), and it expands as far south as Kankakee IL, and as far north as Waukegan IL. The zone also extends from downtown Chicago to DeKalb IL and all in between. The vast majority of modalities that the LCT services are in the imaging department. The main systems are Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computer Tomography (CT), Xray, Ultrasound, and Mammography. The LCT is broken up into teams so that each team services a specific modality in the wide area. Currently there are a total of about 65 field engineers that service these modalities. I am part of a group of 15 fiend engineers that service the MRI’s. I am in charge of several accounts that are located mainly in the west and north suburbs of Chicago. Although this has been a really effective way of servicing these systems in the past, lately we have been loosing some big accounts to the competition. One of the main reasons hospitals decide to go a different route is the way...

...Abstract The intent of this paper is to create a leadership plan for an organization currently facing changes on many facets. The owner of Innovation Inc., Garret Salmon, is hoping to bring his daughter, Joan Salmon, in as his successor in the role of CEO of his company. This paper will outline what the new leader, his daughter, must do to facilitate change, establish trust, develop relationships and create an innovative and ethical plan to ensure success in a constantly changing world. Through prioritizing goals and creating a leadership plan, both father and daughter will be able to set goals for themselves in order to develop a new and more innovative vision. This paper will also explore the relationship between Innovation Inc. and other businesses in their location of Kent, Washington, and will also examine the pressures of “going green” the company is experiencing from the public. Leadership Plan of Innovation Inc. Historically, successful leaders have demonstrated similar qualities. It is these qualities upon which good leaders rely for their success. Whether they were loved, hated, admired, revered or forgotten, successful leaders achieved success and passed down their legacy through values, morals, beliefs, lessons, stories and even through their succeeding generations. One of the more common and preferred method of turning over the reins of leadership is through inheritance. What it takes to be a leader is constantly evolving and has been for millennia...

...but pink and blue begins this lifelong process in the 21st century (Lindsey, 2005). As my research evolves, I plan to examine gender roles in various aspects of 21st century life: workplace, relationships, parenting, voting, consumer behavior, etc. Since this is such a broad topic, my research will likely lead to a paper with a more narrow focus. For now, I've chosen references which are established articles on this broader topic. This research will likely become more focused as I develop the paper. Origin of Gender Roles The gender roles have evolved a great deal from the onset of the human civilization which started as hunter gathers. The males were primarily responsible to provide food, shelter and protection while the women looked after the offspring and took care of the tribe. The Functionalist perspective explains this fairly non-overlapping segregation of gender roles in the pre-industrial society. Evolution of Gender Roles For a considerable period of time there was little or no interaction between the different civilizations and therefore each society developed its own distinct culture and the socialization process. The local socio-economic factors, religious beliefs, legal and political factors had huge impact of the development of gender roles. In the initial years of the 21st century the agents of socialization had a very narrow, local and a limited impact. These agents were the family, peers, the school and then the workplace. However, industrialization changed...

...The Roles and Functions of a CMHC Abstract The clinical mental health counseling approach has been described as a continuum with healthy individuals on one end and severe mentally ill individuals on the other; consequently, everyone can benefit from clinical mental health counseling. The client-counselor relationship is one in which the client is led to identify strengths and challenges, and develop skills with the goal of independent problem-solving, long-term benefits and future prevention. This paper seeks to explore these domains further. Clinical Roles and Approaches of the CMHC The clinical mental health counseling approach has been described as a continuum with healthy individuals on one end and severe mentally ill individuals on the other; consequently, everyone can benefit from clinical mental health counseling. According to Hersehson and Poser (1987), the client-counselor relationship is one in which the client is led to identify strengths and challenges, and develop skills with the goal of independent problem-solving, long-term benefits and future prevention. Clinical mental health counselors (CMHC) are trained to treat their clients holistically and to use diverse approaches to address wide-ranging issues, diverse cultural backgrounds and life styles, and community settings (Gladding & Newsome, 2011; Myers & Sweeney, 2007). According to Gladding & Newsome (2011) the CMHC will provide services in the following capacities: Mental health counseling...

...May 19, 2014 US Marshal Service Department of Justice: US Marshal Service When we were assigned to write a research paper on any law enforcement agency, I decided to do some research on my life long goal. That goal being, becoming a US Marshal. Growing up in a family surrounded by law enforcement, I always knew I was going to end up doing something with law enforcement. When I began college, I started examining my career options and what path I wanted to pursue. I never wanted to be the stereotypical patrol officer that most of my family had been. I wanted to do something more exciting and out of the ordinary. When I stumbled upon what it meant to be a US Marshal, I fell in love with it. Here I am now as I begin the long process of becoming a US Marshal. Currently in the US Marshal Service there is a total of only 3,829 agents. The US Department of Justice is what runs the US Marshal Service. What makes the Marshal Service interesting is that each agent must be appointed directly by the President of the United States. The US Marshal Service is the oldest agency in the United States and was created in 1789. The USMS main priority is the investigation and detention of fugitives. Although the USMS works directly with State and Local authorities, the Marshals oversee all detention of fugitives. The jurisdiction of the USMS is extremely different from most law enforcement agencies. The jurisdiction of a Marshal spreads worldwide. If a fugitive flees to another country, Marshals...

...An eGain White Paper Customer Support Megatrends and Next Practices 2010 Update © 2010 eGain Communications Corporation. All rights reserved. “May you live in interesting times!” The popular Chinese saying invokes both a blessing and a curse—depending on what you make of it. These are interesting times for customer support executives. As the rise of the Internet (and now, mobile Internet) and social networks collide with forces of globalization, support organizations find themselves in the eye of the storm. They are buffeted by powerful winds of change, ranging from the dramatic migration of most phone business to the Web to the high-profile outsourcing of agent positions to low-cost countries. To add to it, CxOs are redefining expectations from their service and support operations as they seek to build competitive advantage through distinctive customer service. This white paper discusses the eight megatrends transforming customer support organizations today. Resistance is futile. Taking a passive stance is like trying to ignore a tsunami. Megatrends are not fads; they won’t go away after a while. The trick is to embrace change and stay ahead of these trends instead of getting swept away. So what are these megatrends? Megatrend 1: Customer is royalty; her wish must be your command Megatrend 2: Change is the only constant with mergers, acquisitions, consolidation, outsourcing, and offshoring Megatrend 3: Your agents need 20 pound megabrains...

Dr. Croce has turned his decades-long pursuit of cancer remedies into a research empire. He has been the recipient of over $86 million in federal grants. He has also earned more than 60 awards.

Dr. Croce has been fending off allegations of data falsification and other scientific misconduct. An anonymous critic contacted authorities with allegations of falsified date in Dr....
