...usually without orderly arrangement” and Le Bon (2006:15) defines a crowd as “a gathering of individuals of whatever nationality, profession or sex and whatever be chances that have brought them together”. Crowding can have a wide range of negative behaviour and negative human effects. For example, crowding in prisons has been accompanied by negative psychological reactions and increased disciplinary problems, assaults, illness complaints, deaths, and suicides. Because of this, prison wardens are affected by it as much as the prisoners themselves because they are exposed to the behaviour prisoners may have. Merely being crowded in any setting can have negative effects. In the classroom, the larger the number of students, the more the strain, anxiety, and frustration it creates. When there is less crowding in the schools, at home, or at any other social setting, there is a reduction of psychological stress and problems are reduced. In other words, the reductions of crowding have positive effects. The larger the crowd is in public settings, the more negative effects there are for groups and individuals. The effects may cause groups or individuals to lose their sanity or take part in activities they normally would not be drawn to doing. Being in a crowd sometimes can mean that you lose your individuality as you are merely blending in with those around you and are not known as a separate individual but rather, the ‘crowd’. I feel this can have a very negative effect on your identity...

What are the ethical and legal issues at stake in this scenario? The ethical issues would be not using a woman character to bring in more business. Plus if you have to buy credits to advance to different levels than that is an ethical issue as well. The legal issues would be making sure that the game is up to the right standards for every country that wants to buy the product. Like the internet is ready for the full nudity but only for purchase for adult users only and want it more lifelike. The U.S. market is not ready for the full nudity so that version needs to be toned down a bit so it will sell better. The Mexican market likes it if the violence was toned down a bit. The Taiwanese market wants more graphics in the violence and the nudity areas. 2. What are Karl’s options? Karl’s options to make the company, Bounce, a lot of money by making sure that everyone is aware of all the things that need to be changed for all the different types of markets.

...claim can not be paid twice for the same incident or same property. The amount of the remaining mortgage will be paid to the First National Bank since they hold the mortgage. [ Any additonal amounts over and above the outstanding mortgage would go to the current owner of the property - Interstate Dist. Corp. The insurance policy still held by Eagle Sales Company is void since Eagle Sales no longer has any vested interest in the property. The policy should have been canceled. ] This was a little confusing, why does Eagle still have an insurance policy with a building they no longer own? I believe in this problem that there are three insurance policies on the same building, not sure if this is legal, since they all have the policy with the same insurance company. It was my understanding that this is illegal but I am not an expert on the matter. So let us believe that own more than one insurance policy on a building is illegal, we need to look at which one is the correct policy. I was always though that the own of the business had to have the insurance on the building, to cover the mortgage, most banks will not grant a loan without an insurance policy on the property. So Eagle did own the building and it was mortgage through First National, then Eagle sold the building to Interstate Distribution, who kept the mortgage through First National. So if the building is destroyed in a fire the insurance company would send out an adjuster who would approve the value of the building and...

...Michael Williams 01/24/14 1) The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, commonly called “Sarbox or SOX” is a federal law that set new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public company boards, management and public accounting firms. This act was approved by the House of Representatives by a vote of 423 to 11. This act contains 11 titles or sections, the bill was the creation of two U.S. senators (Paul Sarbane and Michael Oxley) and it was enacted as a result to a number of major scandals accounting and corporate entities. These scandals which cost investors billions of dollars when the share prices of affected companies collapsed shook public confidence in the American securities markets. Now with all that in mind, this act was for everyone but more to protect small businesses because they always seem to get swallowed up when some big company gets caught with their hands in the cookie jar. So as I write this information down, there is no mention of the Mc Donald’s corporation in any of the information I have researched. So that lets me know that Mc Donald’s practices safe financial practices to ensure their stakeholders that they will never get caught up in scandals of corrupt financial dealings. Mc Donald’s has been doing business since 1933 and I’m 48 years of age and never once have I heard of the company practicing dirty or illegal dealings to scare off existing or future investors, clients, customers, or employees. So as I conclude...

Notwithstanding, in spite of the huge monetary discouragements that pushed individuals as far as possible as far as work and the dedication thereof, Weinstein picks to review particular practices in light of ethics. The author observes that contrary to main feeling that ethics is a more noteworthy measure of how an individual treats others; it is additionally touches on how one treats himself/herself. Subsequently, the author noticed that while it is vital to buckle down, attempting to the prohibition of other life develops is not reasonable to the individual, and by expansion to those close him, for example, workmates and crew. Key to this paper is an examination of Weinstein’s disputes in light of the guideline of non-evil, an essential rule of morals. I agree with Weinstein's assessment. Weinstein states the primary reasons that individuals give for working hard in the midst of hard financial times. The head is the journey to keep one's employment. For this situation, an individual sees that his tireless work might be compensated with support if the association picks to downsize in future.

...reactions. Values are also considered psychological objects that we cannot see or touch, but are considered physical objects (Posner, 2010). Types of values include ethical or moral values, personal values, or core values (Fiset, 2007). “Values, personal values, and core values all refer to the same thing” (Best of Time Management, 2008). Values are used by individuals and organizations. “Using values help individuals and organizations energize everything concerned with them. In this paper, I am going reflect how my values align (or do not align) with the values of Kudler Fine Foods and how they affect my performance. Where Values Comes From Individuals inherit values. They learn from their parents, teachers, and other influential individuals in their life. Values can reflect the values of the place where an individual live. Values may change some, but they last a lifetime (Best of Time Management, 2008). Everyone have values that determine their decisions and guide their lives. Individuals may dedicate or give up their entire life to pursue their values (Posner, 2010). My Values Implementing values as an individual can always attract success, achievement, and well being for that person. I have a lot of values I implement, but I am only going to discuss a few values that I use.

These programs and organization can have many common denominators, focus and trends, as well as other agencies that help contribute to the success, of not only the company, but the individuals that need help. Across all organizations and programs there are many common denominators that go intact with serving the society.

They also accommodate anyone no matter if they are male or female, including and not limited to sexual preference, age, nationality, beliefs or anything that is important to a client. The professionals must also empower the clients and create and implement treatment plans to help the clients reach competency and self-sufficiency (Gail, 2014). Workers also have responsibility to the clients, the community and society as a whole. All human services worker have no personal motive to help the client and cannot have any relationship with the client unless it is professional. Human services also have certain trends to approach clients. In the human services fields the trends are to enhance the quality of life overall. That is why there are different approaches that may or may not work for certain individuals. Not only is helping individual’s important, but human service has adapted to technology for...

...possessed by the individual and the way he presents those assets to employers. In other words it is the process of self assessment of an individual which can be done by himself or by some other person or agency. Importance of Employability and Personal Skills - In the Recruitment and Retention of staff : While in the process of hiring and selecting individuals in an organisation, the management has to identify a certain selection criteria. This selection criteria consists of a list of abilities and skills, in addition to certain education standard an individual must possess if he has to qualify for that position. An individual who has acquired certain skills like computer knowledge (hardware / software) will be more valuable for an organisation than the one who does not have this skill. The organisation will not have to train the individual who already has this capability. The organisation will get a “Ready Made” asset which can be utilized straight away on a project. The Alcatel can also short list those individuals with certain basic knowledge or skills in a specified field. The individuals can be trained on special task or assignment with minimum effort. For example if an individual has basic skills and knowledge of operations and maintenance of Computers then he can be trained quickly to operate and maintain small computer and telecom networks. That individual will have more value than an individual who does not possess such skills. The individual who is hired and...

...The majority of individuals set goals to live a healthy lifestyle and workout to be fit. Each person has a preference in how, when, if and where they will follow through with these goals.

...integrity has three characteristics: being honest, having values or morals, and being self-aware. I believe it is a conscious decision to admit ones mistakes by telling the truth whether or not someone is watching me. Values are used to create an individual’s moral compass telling me what is right or wrong. I feel that many values a person has is often constructed by a person’s culture as well as the individuals that raised them; I believe that a person always has the choice to reevaluate and change their morals as they choose. For a person to have self-awareness I consider if the individual is not only reliable and trustworthy but also possesses humility and are humble instead of a sense of indulgent pride. Another trait of personal responsibility is accepting consequences. I consider accepting consequences as having the courage to face the fear of what may happen because of a person’s poor choices or mistakes. I also feel that to effectively do this is to accept with grace and not contempt, and to be part of solution to the problems caused. To ensure personal responsibility an individual must understand the effects their choices or mistakes have on others. The effects not...

...The Lies of Meritocracy in America America is seen as the land of opportunity where an individual can go as far as their own merit takes them. The opportunities to be successful are endless and one just has to work hard to achieve them. This is based on the idea of meritocracy where individuals are only measured on the basis of their intellectual contributions, “divorced” identity, social status, gender, race, religion, and other characteristics. But this is only an illusion a so called myth that individuals are brought up to believe. In “Horatio Alger”, Harlon Daltons is able to break down this myth of meritocracy that include how we are judged solely on merits, have a fair opportunity to establish those merits, and how merit will bring success. Ruth Conniff in “Women Losing Ground” is able to support the myth of meritocracy that Dalton has established by explaining how women are still suffering from this myth that America has created. Dalton and Conniff are able to debunk the myth of meritocracy and help those that believe in meritocracy understand the inequality the myth has created in American culture. The idea of meritocracy is stating that an individual will not get judged and that “each of us is judged solely on her or his own merits” (Dalton (Alger theory)). But “sometimes we are judged on a different scale”... “favored...and ignored all on the basis of our race” (Dalton). How does this compare to only being judged on his or her own merits because all that is viewed...

...Gung Ho (1986) stars Michael Keaton in the role of an American wheeler-dealer who hopes to save his small Pennsylvania town by getting a Japanese automobile manufacturer to buy the town’s biggest employer-a failing automobile assembly factory. He is sent to Japan to convince the Japanese that buying this factory is in mutual interest. The movie is about how the Japanese and American cultures try to work together to successfully run the factory. For the most part, the Japanese management and the American workers cannot manage to get along because of cultural differences. The Japanese insisted on discipline, company fitness routines, and putting work before family. Keaton gets into a dispute with one Japanese middle manager over the man's unwillingness to stand up to his own uncle to ask for some time off to be with his newly born child. In the United States, people value individual rights whereas Japanese people have priority over the overall good of the group so that their individual. It is believed that Americans show more concern for interests of themselves and their families, rather than others. Therefore the early leave is acceptable within the American companies. However, being part of the group is essential in Japan; therefore, that request for early leave is against the overall good of the team, and slowing down the production. There were examples of differences as obvious as the eating in two separate break rooms. This was a very funny movie. I really enjoyed it, but...
