In this chapter we also learned the difference between decision support systems and business intelligence system. This chapter explained that Business Research is a systematic inquiry that provides the process of planning. After reading chapter two Ethics in Business Research, Learning Team A learned the issues that are in research ethics. This chapter also explained that the purpose of ethics research is to reassure the safety to those involved in the research process. This chapter explained that Ethic Research requires personal integrity and the need to have middle ground. After reading chapter four The Research Process, we learned the steps in this process. We also learned that research is a centered dilemma and decision. Once we found a topic we would like to write about we would start to find information on the topic and record this information on paper. Another factor that was learned in chapter four was how budgeting and value assessments influence our process for research design and proposing research.

...Assessment/Treatment Plan Christina Blair CMHC/581 June 12, 2012 Shannon Anderson Brice Family Assessment/Treatment Plan Assessment The writre interviewed the Brice family of 5. The family consisted of a father, a mother, 2 girls and 1 boy. David, the father, is mid to late 60 year old Caucasian male. He is tall with square shoulders wearing glasses. He metacommunication Presenting Problem History of Problem- BRIEF Family History Assessment Summary: Another important quality of the co-research position is that of valuing emotional experiences and reflections. Our understanding of the preceding conversation is that in the state of being oppressed by violence, a person is defined by the violence. The concept of choice in that state is a mirage; a woman would not choose violence, but inside of a war zone there is no violence free territory. If the person and the context of violence are separated (deconstructed through externalization) the person's preferred story of their lives outside the "war zone" context can become visible. This distinction became available in the training conversation due to the process of allowing for correction and respecting the trainees feelings of being emotionally connected or disconnected to the unique accounts of those persons oppressed by the problem. Doherty (1991) has described negotiating meanings versus dictating a theme (p. 134). From our reflections about the interviewing process, we have been able to articulate...

...citizenship was, of course, also the motive force of the anti-colonial struggles of the 18th to 20th centuries. A further fact to keep in mind is that the largest cities in the world today, especially those that grew most rapidly in the second half of the twentieth century, are not Western cities. Our course will examine concepts of citizenship and the new urban spaces that emerged, along with the crucial third term of the triad, technology. Moreover in the new grid of electronic capital, as the globe is re-drawn by virtual lines, the histories of the global South are being flattened out in very specific ways. The pervasive NGO culture of our times with its impatient philanthropy and electronic databasing needs more than ever to be ‘supplemented’ by the skill of slow and patient reading that is the unique mandate of Literature. Through our analyses of some of the new institutions and megacities in India(/Asia/ the East), we will try to understand the ways in which cities are being re-imagined in the late-twentieth century and the new struggles over democracy and equality they represent.

...Hawker centres Background Hawker centres offer a diverse range of food, and dining in this natural open-air environment has become a reflection of life in Singapore. (National Environment Agency (NEA), 2009). Hawker centres are not only an integral part of Singapore’s street food culture, but also a significant part of Singapore’s social and cultural heritage.
