The saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is used to describe digital immigrants. With the world today revolving around social media, managers and executive level managers are blocking them from their company’s network as a means of safe guarding from hacks and such. What they don’t realize is that the digital natives that work for them, need these sites to function. Digital natives thrive on technology. So much so that it is a lifestyle and it is the basis for their way of working and communicating. Natives are literate, connected, social, and in need of instant gratification. (Myers, M. D., & Sundaram, D) Digital natives use technology as a way of communicating between each other by the use of blogs and texting, whereas immigrants use face to face or email to communicate.

...expectancy was shortened to 64 years or less. Barnhard sued the machine manufacturer, Cybex International, alleging the product was defectively designed. Cybex alleged that Barnhard’s employer, Amherst Orthopedic, was negligent in its installation of the device. Barnhard and Amherst contended that Cybex should have warned users that only 40 pounds of horizontal force was needed to cause the machine to tip. Cybex expert witnesses countered that Barnhard had to have been engaging in inappropriate conduct and caused the machine to tip because of Amherst failing to properly train Barnhard. Barnhard’s suit is for $28.9 million in estimated future medical costs, $1.69 million in past medical expenses, $8 million in damages for future care of children, lost earnings, and past pain and suffering, as well as $25 million in damages for future pain and suffering.

...the lot of the laborer from being taken advantage of by industries; for them to work in safe environments, have fair and reasonable wages, working hours, and compensation. Many industrial jobs were known to be dangerous. Without the accountability of the government, workers risked their lives in hostile working environments. Nothing would be done to protect the workers from these evils unless the government was willing to step in and pass laws to protect the workers and enforce them. In many cases laborers did not have a set of working hours, or compensation for injury in their job. They could be taken advantage of because their bosses had absolute power over them. The laws passed to guard women and children workers are completely justifiable, because women worked just as hard as men in dangerous and tough working environments, and children were made to work in positions not adequate for their anatomy, and logically needed to be protected also. The Massachusetts first annual report of its labor statistics bureau said “There is a peril to life and limb from unguarded machinery, and peril to health from lack of ventilation, and insufficiency of means of escape in case of fire, in many establishments…. These evils can only be prevented by detailed enactment.” Massachusetts hoped to pass the Factory Inspection Legislation which would protect workers by demanding factories have machine guarding, direction, elevator safety and adequate ventilation (U.S Department of Labor). But this...

The airline industry believes that by reducing their carbon footprint they may be able to attract conscientious travelers. Many airports worldwide are recognized for their contributions for their sustainable practices in the sector Air transportation is considered to be an essential in a modernized society. However, air transportation causes harsh impact on the environments. The air transportation system is considered to be the number one cause of air pollutants, especially Carbon dioxide. “Emissions from air transportation have continuously increased over time, accounting for about 4% of carbon emissions from developed countries.” (Safe Guarding Our Atmosphere, 2011) Demand for air transportation and airport capacity continues to rise, but is impacted by environmental limits, such as land use compatibility. According the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) 2011 forecast, one billion passengers are projected to be flown in 2021 and aviation growth over the next five years is expected to jump 5.3%. Adopting sustainable measures is a slow process and goes beyond the minimum environmental requirements provided by the federal government. Even with regulations being enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and local communities, these airports are still producing pollution and waste caused by harmful chemicals, such as paint, and lack of recycling programs, according...
