...Climate Essay Danielle Beliveau HCS/131 9/21/2015 Linda Widjaja Climate Essay Listening is a very important part of workplace communication. It is imperative that a person understand a message that may be communicated to them in any type of workplace environment in order to respond effectively. It is important to have active listening skills in the work place. Some ways to have more active listening skills is to first, take an interest in the speaker and their message. In the workplace day to day operations can be busy and many people around talking and causing interruptions. However, when a message is being presented by a person’s manager or supervisor, or co-worker, it is important that the person be attentive and willing to understand the message they are about to receive and block out any distractions around them. Focusing your attention on the speaker and their message will show that a person is interested in what the speaker is saying. Many people lead busy lives and have children, husbands, or love interests. Day dreaming is a big distraction when trying to focus in the work place. People tend to think about other things when they are board or disinterested. However, if a message is being presented in the work place it is important that a person gives full attention to the message being delivered as it could mean the difference between something being done right or something being done wrong and for some can mean disastrous consequences...

...Accounting professionals are obliged to comply with certain standards in an effort to protect shareholders and the general public. When one joins any of the accounting professional organizations, such as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) or the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), one is agreeing to adopt the ethical code. This professional code is a positive set of statements and guidelines for CPAs with explicit rules as to what accountants should or shouldn’t do. It applies to all members, whether it is public practice, industry, government or education. There are many reasons why one would want the accountant representing them to adhere to a specific rules and regulations. From an investor’s point of view, one would want an accountant that is going to have their best interests in mind, but to also be morally and ethically bound to perform within legal confines. Sometimes actions may be considered within acceptable limits of the law, but not ethically suitable; in such instances, the code of ethical conduct is even more important. Investors want insurance that the corporation with which they are financially backing is transparent. Transparency, which from an accounting/corporate standpoint, is the free flow of information within an organization and between the organization and its many stakeholders. This transparency and accountability improves the credibility and the relationship between...

...vengeance That shall fly with them; for many a thousand widows.” (294-297). In this passage, Henry releases his fury upon the Dauphin, and his use of hyperbole in both passages serves to provide stunning imagery of the destruction and death that will hit the country of France in retaliation for being mocked. This passage portrays Henry’s merciless behavior, and it foretells how Henry will later address high-pressure situations during the war when his savage and wrathful side overtakes his decisions. This menacing side of Henry is revealed through the violent imagery he delivers, which showcases the amount of rage he holds against the Dauphin and the French. One passage in particular that exemplifies Henry’s intention to arise with all his might and bring forth utter destruction is when he proclaims, “But I will rise there with so full a glory That I will dazzle all the eyes of France,” (290-291). From this passage, the reader is given insight as to how grandly Henry thinks of himself through his depiction of the gunfire and explosions that “will dazzle” France as a result of him being “mocked”. Also, we learn how strongly his presence will be felt by the entire nation of France when he describes how he will “rise there with so full a glory”, which alludes to him being a godly figure who has risen to unleash his wrath upon France. Another example of the crucial role Henry’s heartless imagery plays is when he speaks upon the after-effects that will occur in France after he has brutalized...

...Rawls felt that everything must be done in an act of achieving fairness throughout. He also did not want anything to be done that may hurt or damage another person. For example, Rawls felt that throughout a society, every demographic should be allowed the same treatment and goods as any other. The poor should receive the same health care as the rich, etc. (Lamont, 2002). Questions of distributive justice arise when different people put forth conflicting claims on society’s benefits and burdens and all the claims cannot be satisfied. The essential cases are those where there is a insufficiency of benefits such as jobs, food, housing, medical care, wealth and income as compared with the numbers and desires of the people who want these goods. The other side of the coin is that there may be too many burdens, that of unpleasant work, labor, health injuries of various sorts and not enough people willing to shoulder them. If there are enough goods to satisfy everyone’s desires and enough people willing to share society’s burdens, then conflicts between people would not arise and distributive justice would not be needed. When people’s desires and distaste exceed the sufficiency of their resources, they are forced to...

...How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Get thee behind me, Satan; get thee hence: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. What seek ye? Come and see. Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas. Follow me. Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Before that Philip called thee, when thou wart under the fig tree, I saw thee. Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. Fill the waterpots with water. Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. Take these things hence, make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

...Ethical Healthcare Issues HCS545 May 11th, 2015 Ethical Healthcare Issues Ethical issues arise in all types of industry no matter the magnitude of the issue decisions will have to be made regarding it. The health care industry is no different, some of those ethical issues include patient privacy (or lack of), transplant allocation, refusal of care, patient dumping, access of care, biomedical research and patient noncompliance with treatment. For this paper I will focus on patient privacy, the ethical issue of patient privacy is how patient information is getting leaked unintentionally. An examination of how each of the four major ethical principles can be applied towards this issue will be provided. Patient Privacy The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) original intents were to enable workers to change jobs without fear of losing health care coverage (Liebler & McConnell, 2012), but HIPAA is more commonly known for protecting patient privacy. When organizations had to be HIPAA compliant by April 14, 2003 those organizations were required to train employees in the proper handling of protected health information (PHI), publish policies and procedures addressing the handling of patient medical information (Liebler & McConnell, 2012) . Any release of patient information for purposes other than treatment, payment, or operations requires written authorization (Buppert, 2002). Under the patient privacy rule EVERYTHING is protected, diagnosis...

...The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Introduction, Commentaries, and Translation What are the Yoga Sutras and who is Patanjali? Over fifty different English translations of the Yoga Sutras are extant, standing as a human testament to how Universal Truth is celebrated in terms of a rich diversity. Rather than the common and external type of knowledge (emanating from book knowledge), the following translation and commentary are a result of an intimate familiarity and direct experience both with an authentic yogic tradition and with western culture, psychology, and language that has been refined, tested in fire, and integrated for over thirty five years of intense practice (sadhana). This work is dedicated toward revealing the universal message of authentic yoga that the sage, Patanjali, first wrote down approximately 2000 years ago. Patanjali is not the inventor of yoga, but rather yoga's most popularly known scribe. What has become known simply as the "Yoga Sutras" (sutra means thread) or almost equally as common, as the "Yoga Darshana" (the vision of Yoga), is actually a compendium of an ancient pre-existing oral yoga tradition consisting of both practical advice and theoretical context. The most accepted format of the Yoga Sutras consists of four chapters (called padas) written in the Sanskrit language approximately 2000 years ago in Northern India while utilizing the terminology of the time, i.e., Samkhya philosophical trappings. The dates ascribed to the Yoga Sutras...

...as well as laid groundwork for space travel. With the commodity there is invariably tough and the Industrial Revolution produced a rift between necessities v's desire and the consumption to live and survive an overproduction and over-indulgence of one's ego. The Industrial Revolution set the plans in motion for what we have today. Territory is destroyed by toxic rain called acid rain, our landfills are going over and was no where to put the excess trash what do we do, we burn it or we drop it into our ocean so we are polluting the air and water pollution are water. Our poor ozone layer once healthy and strong protecting us from the harsh solar radiation and solar sun rays now has holes and where those holes are radiated from the sun shines down and torches mother earth. In some circles the talk of the town is the underlying idea that the Industrial Revolution was the toxic spill that put into motion the demise to earth. Many say that the Industrial Revolution was the single most important thing to happen to human beings today and in the same breath other say it was the most destructive creation known to human beings. How can this be; the Industrial Revolution brought unmanageable technology. This technology transformed our culture, it took mankind and humanity to a place our forefathers could not have dreamed in a thousand years. This was the only period in history where life expects increased, the economy increased and the population increased. There were five major changes...

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it. 8 And the LORD said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught? 10 Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 12 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. 13 And there was a day when his sons and his...

...Child Labor: An Unrecognized Global Issue Abstract There is much knowledge that needs to be gained globally about child labor. Society needs to find ways to increase awareness in this matter. History has shown that child labor was almost necessary for the survival of families through hard economic times. The concept of children rights brought major change to the outlook of child labor. Children have the same large scale rights as adults do. Conventions have been established in place to protect the right of children here in the United States. Although our government has many laws in reference to child labor other nations do not recognize it as problematic and so it continues. In other countries children are being exploited by employers. These children are stripped of their right to have an education, a prosperous childhood, and of other rights. It can affect a child’s health and development. The objective of the following research paper is to raise awareness of the worldwide child labor issue and summarizes what is being done to help battle the issue. Introduction: Any issue that involves the abuse of young children is a sensitive matter. Images exist of children enduring maltreatment and abuse in different work settings. Child labor has been a long existing nationwide issue and although it is seen as a form of child abuse by many there are those that see it as a norm. Cultures in foreign nations believe that by placing a child in money paying work conditions...

...able to survive the injustices of their native land or the atrocities of their abusive husband without each other. The structure of the novel is intrinsically designed to delve into both of the women’s lives and experience their worlds, all while keeping the same despondent tone. The way Hosseini begins the novel with Mariam’s story preceding Laila’s and then the intersection of the two tie the women together and bring them full circle. The women’s lives are forcefully intersected and their chapters rhythmically play back and forth until the book ends, once again, with only one woman to recount what they endured. The story is told from these multiple points of views to echo the thoughts and juxtapose the lives of the two women. The reader is able to understand the depths of the novel because the two points of view make it that much stronger since both women drive home the same point about the world of hatred in which they live. The power of the back and forth motion accelerates the plot and aids in keeping track of the time that passes between their lives. The ending of part one is strong, cutting, emotional and closes the chapter of Mariam’s childhood, when Rasheed leaves Mariam to “spit out pebbles, blood, and the fragments of two broken molars” (94). Hosseini has already taken the reader through Mariam’s journey growing up, and this scene marks the beginning of the rest of her adult life. The reader feels Mariam’s molars rolling around in her bloody mouth and is able recognize...

...Ronald Hammer EVAN 101-B19 October 5, 2011 “Methods of Evangelism Paper” Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 - The “Intellectual Method” that I have chosen is the Roman road. The Roman Road method is a very simple method that utilizes seven verses of salvation taken from the book of Romans in the New Testament. While many people believe they will go to heaven because they have done charity work, been baptized as a child, attended church, or treated others fairly, the Bible declares that none of us can live up to God’s standards of righteousness. Therefore, we need a road to God that doesn’t rely on anything we do, but rather, relies on the gift of His grace alone. The bible verses that are utilized are Romans 1:20-21 “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.” Roman 2:23 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans 5:8 “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 10:9-10 “If you confess...

...Three Approaches to an Accurate Job Analysis So many issues can arise when dealing with a rapid growing company. In this scenario, one must determine the reason why it is hard to fill a particular position. This could be difficult during a time of growth or expansion. It is important for Human Resource management to analyze the situation and determine the reason why there is such difficulty with filling the Customer Service Rep position. They must determine the duties and qualifications for the job and determine the best way to recruit the most qualified candidate (shrm.com). They must also create a job description that is compelling and that accurately outlines the job duties and expectations for the position. These things can be determined in many ways, but it is important that they analyze the job to the best of their ability in order to have a better idea of why the job isn't easily filled and what type of individual would be most suitable for the position. The text book provided for this course provides several approaches to conducting a proper job analysis. I believe that the Position Analysis Questionnaire would be the most efficient in this particular scenario. This approach highlights many aspects of the job and allows the analyst to gain a very detailed view into everything that the job entails. Someone in the position currently or the person hiring for the position is usually the one that completes the survey. The biggest advantage of this approach is the fact...
