...as one of the fastest and strongest athlete, encourage children to become better athletes. People expect athletes to be professionals throughout his or her career, but fail to realize that athletes are still humans. Mistakes have been made, just like the rest of society. Athletes are in public eyes at all times because of their career. It is best for athletes to show positive leadership for the upcoming generation. Some athlete’s society never hear negative news about, but there are many that is in public eye of social media. Randy Roberts wrote a book called “A Team for America, The Army-Navy Game That Rallied a Nation” (Roberts, 2012). In the book he discusses how a few good men from the Army-Navy stopped fighting during World War II in 1944 just to play a rivalry game of football. People from over the world tuned in as the Navy, ranked number two battled it out on the field against the Army for the number one spot. War was raging around the world in places like Africa, Europe, and the Pacific, people at home had just had Thanksgiving with no turkey, not to mention the lives lost just a day before because of the Great War raging around the world. For just a moment, everyone, everywhere could forget everything and was right with the world. In the eyes of children and men alike, these men were heroes and role models because even though there were hard times threatening the shores, they gave a nation something to smile about. They were football players who happened to be soldiers...

...Articles of Confederation vs. the Constitution of the United States The United States has been run under two constitutions since the beginning. It was first operated under the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was ratified by Maryland and brought into effect on March 1, 1781. The Articles lasted a little over seven years until it was upheld by New Hampshire on June 21, 1788. It was replaced by the Constitution of the United States. In the Articles of Confederation, the legislature was Unicameral. Each state had two to seven members in congress during the Articles. Under The Constitution the legislature was Bicameral, or broken into two sections, which was the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each state...

...MPH§; Nicole L. Frazer, PhD§ ABSTRACT Previous studies have found deployment to combat areas to be associated with an increased risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and alcohol abuse, but many previous studies were limited by samples that were not representative of the deployed military as a whole. This study presents an overview of these three mental health problems associated with deployment among Air Force, Army, Marine Corp, and Navy service members returning from deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan between January 2007 and March 2008. With postdeployment health data on over 50,000 service men and women, including diagnostic information, we were able to estimate prevalence of those who screened positive for risk of each disorder in self-report data at two time points, as well as prevalence of diagnoses received during health care encounters within the military health care system. The prevalence ranges of the three disorders were consistent with previous studies using similar measures, but service members in the Navy had higher rates of screening positive for all three disorders and higher prevalence of depression and PTSD diagnoses compared to the other branches. Further, PTSD risk was higher for service members returning from Afghanistan compared to Iraq, in contrast to previous findings.

...William O. SCHISM and Robert Reinlie, Plaintiffs-Appellant vs UNITED STATES, Defendant To get people to join the armed services during the World War II and Korean War era and make it a career, military recruiters, under the direction of superiors, orally promised recruits that if they served on active duty for at least 20 years, they would receive free lifetime medical care for themselves and their dependents. The government concedes such promises were made in good faith and relied upon. Plaintiffs allege that they were fulfilled until 1995 when, plaintiffs assert, the government breached these implied-in-fact contracts by effectively denying them free care so they had to purchase Medicare Part B insurance in order to be treated by civilian doctors or obtain medications without paying fees because space was no longer available in military facilities where care and medications were free. We must decide whether the government is bound by those promises. The promises made to the plaintiffs, older Air Force retirees, were within the authority of the Air Force Secretary under 5 U.S.C. § 301 in view of annual congressional appropriations for military medicine, as the plaintiffs assert. At most it authorizes space-available treatment, and not free health insurance for life, we hold that the Air Force Secretary lacked the authority in the 1950s when plaintiffs joined to promise free and full medical care. Further, under long-standing Supreme Court precedent, "common-law rules...

...each branch had a rule of no females. On December 3, 2015, the United States Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter stated that all roles in the military are now open to women. This allows women to try out and be a part of the elite positions within the Armed Forces, a huge step for equal rights within the military. Women should be allowed the option of a career in a combat role, even if the physical build discrepancies between men and women are different. Testing should not be adjusted to accommodate a woman’s body type; however, training should be adjusted to give women the chance to compete equally. During World War I, there were more than 12,000 women enlisted in the Navy and Marine Corps. The number sky rocketed during WW II. “On V-J Day, there were 57,000 Army and 11,000 Navy nurses, 100,000 WACs [Women’s Army Corps], 18,000 Women Marines, 86,000 WAVES [the Navy’s Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service], and 11,000 SPARS [United States Coast Guard Women’s Reserve]. Altogether, some 350,000 women had served their country in uniform during the war.” (Breuer 61) On June 12, 1948, the Women’s Armed Service Integration Act was signed by President Harry S. Truman. Women now had the right to military status, and to receive the benefits that came with that status. However, some stipulations came with it. Women could only “compromise 2% of the total force, and may not serve aboard Naval vessels or in combat missions, and may not have command authority over men”. (Escobar) It...

...branches of government and all of the branches would have the ability to check the powers of the other branches. This had a big impact on the United States Constitution, where the Legislative , Executive and Judicial branches are kept under control by the other three branches to prevent abuse of power. Congress has the power to legislate in the United States and congress cannot delegate its lawmaking responsibilities to any other agency and there has been a number of supreme court cases in which congress has tried to delegate responsibilities to another branch of government such as the 1998 Clinton vs City of New York case. Congress also has the power to restrain the power of the executive in order to keep the executive in line and not have that branch abuse its power. The Executive power is in the power of the president and the president is “the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy , Militia of several states when called into service” he has the power to make treaties and appointments “with advice and consent of the senate” receive ambassadors and public ministers and “take care that the laws be faithfully executed”, the constitution doesn’t need the president to enforce the law personally, the presidents subordinates can fulfil those duties instead. Congress although can by impeachment stop appointments to the executive and restrict the president. Even though potential laws are shown for the president for him to approve , Congress will vote for the law even if the president...

...American Government FEDERAL POWERS VS STATE POWERS Based on what I have gathered in the lectures Federal Powers are based on more of a national agreement as a whole with declaring what national laws that needs to be made. For instance declaring war as well as raising and maintaining the army and navy. Federal Powers also made laws to enforce the Constitution, and implying powers based on the elastic clause powers that were considered “necessary and proper” for carrying out the enumerated (or express) powers. Based on my research with what I learn through the lecture and web browsing and example of the elastic clause was back in 1791, Federalists in Congress argued that the creation of a national bank was “necessary and proper” for Congress to execute its enumerated powers to coin and borrow money and regulate currency. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) confirmed Congress’s right to found this national bank. Then we have our three branches that help divide federal powers responsibilities which are the executive branch were the president implements the laws, the legislative branch were the Congress makes the laws, and the judiciary branch where the court system interprets the laws and decided legal controversies. Whereas, the State Powers Exercise powers neither delegated to the national government nor prohibited from the states by the U.S. The lecture used example like being able set legal drinking and smoking ages. State Powers also focused on establishing local governments...

Comment on some of the key workplace issues that come out in this article, i.e., leadership and personal character, reforming large organizations, the tension between action-oriented-risk-takers vs. risk-avoidance-managers who “keep their heads down,” social changes including ethnicity/gender, etc. 4. Compare and contrast the two readings…what are two or three key learning issues about “people at work,” about the management of people and how organizations are run, from BOTH these two real life situations, that can help us work more effectively today? (Please be prepared to share your responses to questions #3 and #4 in both a small group setting and with the entire class.) In his life of Alexander the Great, Plutarch reminds his readers that he is as interested in character as he is in history. "The most glorious exploits do not always furnish us with the clearest discoveries of virtue or vice in men," he notes. "Sometimes a matter of less moment, an expression or a jest, informs us better of their characters and inclinations." The lives of the famous, he shows, can provide lessons in prudence, as in the case of the Athenian naval hero Themistocles, or in consuming greed, as in the case of the Roman general Crassus. Larry Berman's "Zumwalt" parallels Plutarch's theme, offering...

...Military Ethics Marvin J. Harris United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Department of Military History Class 64 SGM Rivera November 26, 2013 Abstract Since 1775, the birth of the United States Army, many men and women have served in the United States military. These individuals have given their lives in defense of democracy, both at home and abroad. The oath of enlistment these individuals took to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” is a major obligation. Whether it was through the draft or a voluntary commitment, these individuals are willing to give their lives in defense of their country. Along with their commitment to defense, these soldiers also committed themselves to be ethical professionals as well. The burden of being a member of the United States military is different than any other profession. Military members must maintain a high standard of ethics both on and off duty. Leaders in the United States military always enforce a high standard of both professionalism and ethics. Failure to maintain ethical standards and a high sense of professionalism may lead to a lack of trust within the command and the service. It may also lead to a lack of faith in the military by the general public. Ethics is the foundation that the United States military is built upon.

...Articles of the Confederation vs. Constitution HIS 115 December 10, 2012 The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution are two contrasting documents written by the Founding Fathers. The documents are very different from one another yet they share a few rare similarities. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation prompted Congress to scrap them and begin again with the Constitution. Not all problems were solved by the Constitution, but they were significantly reduced. In any case, the Constitution, the foundation of America, has stood for centuries with very few revisions. Comparing the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution is difficult because the two documents are so innately different. However, there are several notable similarities. In both documents, the United States had a representative government. States would elect a number of officials to assemble in Congress which was headed by a president. This assembly had the power to arbitrate between states. Interestingly, Congress was given power to conscript a navy but not an army. Perhaps they were more concerned about attack by sea than by land. Differences are much more readily found when comparing the Articles and the Constitution. The biggest difference between the two was that the states were sovereign under the Articles of Confederation whereas the Constitution gave the federal government sovereignty. Under the Constitution, the three-branch, checks and balance system of governing was established...
