Reflecting on public policy in understanding the major environmental situations that we are faced with on a daily basis. I know that the list goes on and on that we are faced were many problems but trying to change them Or fix them seems futile. To me it’s like banging your head against the wall for purposes is served to propose something that has no real intent of change The way I feel about related policies is that we have options but will the options fix the situation or will they continue to Create problems. In my lifetime I have seen lots of issues and lots of organizations with big plans to fix the environmental Issues. But my question becomes if there is a fix how will it affect us long term and is a viable for positive result. Something that we can trust will fix in a way that it’s not a problem 20 years down the road. I guess when I look at it I...

...between informational role of interest groups and institutions as politician seek to control the bureaucracy is investigated. The authors doesn’t claim to take a particular perspective. The author concludes the article by stating that the agenda-setting power of the bureaucrats themselves should be fully addressed. Evaluation: I think this journal targets professional readers. One of the weaknesses of this article is that it is very difficult to understand, especially for public readers. A lot of professional terms and concept have been use in this article.

...Reflection is a necessary component of everyday life, as well as the growth an individual makes within their profession. This concept remains true for teachers who, due to the particular changes they must make in order to meet the fluctuating needs of both their students and society, are perpetually connected to reflection. Beginning with John Dewey, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, numerous scholars have articulated their viewpoints concerning the positive and negatives impacts of this reflective teaching, in addition to its influence on the moral dilemmas faced by educators. One of these people, Elizabeth Campbell, asserts her perspectives throughout her text, The Ethical Teacher, wherein she describes the relationship between ethical knowledge and moral agency, the link between moral dilemmas and ethical knowledge, and the methods of lessening moral tensions in education. Within her book, Campbell (2003) maintains that “ethical knowledge relies on teachers’ understanding and acceptance of moral agency as professional expectations implicit in all aspects of their day-to-day practice” (p. 3). These demands of moral agency are important for students’ learning and development. Consequently, it is essential to understand moral agency. Campbell (2003) declares that moral agency “relates to the exacting ethical standards the teacher as a moral person and a moral professional hold himself or herself to” and “concerns the teacher as a moral educator, model...

Brinkerhoff capacity and change in a Brazilian network John Saxby Pretoria, South Africa Discussion paper No 58A June 2005 European Centre for Development Policy Management Centre européen de gestion des politiques de développement Study of Capacity, Change and Performance Notes on the methodology The lack of capacity in low-income countries is one of the main constraints to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Even practitioners confess to having only a limited understanding of how capacity actually develops. In 2002, the chair of Govnet, the Network on Governance and Capacity Development of the OECD, asked the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) in Maastricht, the Netherlands to undertake a study of how organisations and systems, mainly in developing countries, have succeeded in building their capacity and improving performance. The resulting study focuses on the endogenous process of capacity development - the process of change from the perspective of those undergoing the change. The study examines the factors that encourage it, how it differs from one context to another, and why efforts to develop capacity have been more successful in some contexts than in others. The study consists of about 20 field cases carried out according to a methodological framework with seven components, as follows:...

...Representation from Individual, Organizational and Society Perspective The rise of unions from the 1930s through the early 1950s was due to the convergence of a number of events, an economic policy that attempted to restrict competition beginning in the 1930s, the belief that labor markets were noncompetitive and that individual workplaces were unfair and union premiums were low. The passage of favorable legislation, in the form of the Wagner Act, was a reflection of the idea that unions could actually improve the functioning of labor markets and serve as a countervailing power to big business. Over the past several decades, union membership has declined because government policy became pro-competitive, it became clearer that labor markets were relatively competitive, HR practices developed that reduced the amount of opportunistic behavior of employers, and unions increased the percentage premium they enjoyed in industries where rents were available. In this environment, the public-good aspect of labor unions and their ability to improve the functioning of labor markets was being questioned. The passage of amendments to the NLRA that were unfavorable to unions was a reflection of this changed sentiment as to the public good aspect of unions as well as to the adoption of pro-competitive market policies in general. Consequently the future trend in union mass will depend on the competitiveness of the economy and on the related question of the number of opportunities for unions to fulfill...

...Reflections on Education Policy SOC 320: Public Policy: Social Services Instructor : Exaterina Gorislavsky Adrienne Henry August 23,2015 My journal today will discuss the reflection on education policy. What are the current major issues reflecting to education? Some of the major issues that are taking today in our nation with education in public schools is poverty. Poverty has been a crisis for the longest and there are so many children who come from low income families. Many families only bring in 23,000 a year or less a year with this going on in the homes it has caused the drop out rate to increase. A big impact to the issues is what goes on in the home as well. Teachers have to deal with students being disrespectful towards adult authority and their peers as well. When you have negativity going on it brings bullying and violence and many students face this on a daily basis. There are Too many students in one class up to thirty students. This is a issue because how can they learn you have too much distraction and this causes the teachers a lack of interest to teach. The Government should take fault for this because they should provide money to pay more teachers to be employed and build more schools...

...Ethics Reflection Alicia Zisumbo STR/581 September 23, 2014 Shad Slaughter Ethics Reflection A strategic plan is an important part of business development because it defines the organization’s strategy, decision-making and the path the company takes in order to succeed. The social responsibility an organization has on the community is how it accomplishes its business while it meets its obligations to society and the environment. Ethics plays a strong role in a company’s strategic plan because the public persona will determine if the company is successful or not. Corporations must remember that the decisions made not only affect the company and its employees, but also the stakeholders and the communities that drive the business. A business has an ethical responsibility to uphold the commonly held beliefs of society because it is society that ultimately makes or breaks a business. A perfect example of this is currently being played out in the media regarding the image of the National Football League (NFL) and its stance on domestic violence. The NFL brings in millions of dollars a year from ticket sales, merchandise, sponsorships, and TV ads. It is a very prosperous business to say the least. The NFL has a code of conduct policy that must be followed by its employees (players, coaches, etc.). The Ray Rice scandal is currently marring the image of model behavior in the NFL. As an avid NFL fan, I have been watching this scandal unfold with the start of a new football...

...Name: Cang Le WP4 Complete Draft English 161 Scott McFarland What would one do if he/she was driving down a foggy mountain road without being aware there's a dangerous cliff ahead? The difference between knowing and not knowing is literally life and death. By asking this rhetorical question, Natasha Lamb and Bob Litterman were able to use this as a metaphor of what would happen if we continue burning fossil fuels. At some points, we will face a "dangerous cliff"- one would call it a tipping point- where an irreversible catastrophic impact will happen. By leaving out the risks and potential environmental damages involved in their carbon asset risk reports to the public and shareholders, ExxonMobil has made it much more difficult for us to estimate how far ahead of us is "the cliff", so one would slowly hit the brake. Corporations and their marketing departments are very experienced at getting inside the minds of consumers and use that as an advantage to increase profits. Imagine the world's biggest and most powerful oil company launching its new TV ad promoting natural gas development and its name brand by claiming "natural gas is one of the world's cleanest fuels"(Brand Republic). The ad definitely seems to be convincing and valid, thus, luring consumers into choosing natural gas instead of other energy alternatives. Many adults are more inclined to buy eco-friendly product even if they would pay more for them .That’s the reaction ExxonMobil seeks: the thoughts of doing...

...the media plays in influencing public perceptions about crime. The public depends largely on newspapers and television for its information about crime and the criminal justice system, but the information they receive is often affected by the limited sources used by journalists to create news stories. Sensationalist reporting of violent crime by the media often helps to increase feelings of insecurity among citizens, and in turn, affects their overall quality oflife. There have been many attempts to increase media literacy among audiences, to monitor media content, and change the nature of crime stories produced. Public service announcements, and public education and awareness campaignsare some of the traditional approaches used by governments, another approach has been 'civic journalism'. While these approaches are still very importantin crime prevention, they represent only a part of the media's potential contribution. Trends in information and communications technology (ICT) offer community safety and crime prevention much more beyond publicity, promotional activities, or surveillance measures (eg. CCTV). Given that many governments and NGOs are investing in ICTs to develop international networks, and construct a knowledge base in crime prevention (policy, best practices, tools, training, etc), what measures can be taken to ensure thatthose who do not have access to ICTs contribute to and benefit from this exchange? The attached short reflection piece discusses some of these...
