...3/27/15 Research Paper English 11 If more surveillance was added to society it is believed that it would make the community safer and very beneficial. Automated cameras are the hot new law enforcement tool. Cities use them to catch red light runners and speeders. Washington is setting up hundreds of cameras to monitor streets, federal buildings, subway stations, and other locations. Cameras are not cause for concern, then, when it comes to individual privacy, fairness, or accuracy; the real issue is government power. Cameras are a tool that can be used for good reasons that include watching children in school, decrease the amount of crimes committed, and help the government. Schools have somewhat started to add cameras in their hallways for multiple reasons. One reason is it would help identify a suspect if there happened to be a crime committed in the school like a shooting. The cameras could help both during and after an incident. Video footage will go over the Internet to computers that both school officials and police can access in real time if an emergency arises. It's possible that surveillance could help find the location of the threat and allow safe evacuations from other parts of the building. Not only do school security cameras help you maintain safety around your campus, they also discourage misbehavior. Being very obviously placed, school surveillance cameras have been shown to reduce threats of violence and vandalism drastically. One problem many schools continually...

...Science-Technological innovations intended for studies and their impact to the school performance of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy students An abstract is a concise summary of a larger project, i.e. a thesis, a research paper, that concisely describes the content and scope of the project and identifies the project’s objective, its methodology and its findings, conclusions, or intended results. Remember that your abstract is a description of your project and not a description of your topic. It is easy to get these two types of description confused. Since abstracts are generally very short, it’s important that you don’t get bogged down in a summary of the entire background of your topic (Locker, 1997). In this paper’s abstract, the rationale, statement of the problem, research questions, thesis statement, method and design, sampling technique, and instruments employ in this paper are stated. As what is frequently observed, modern devices are often used in different ways. Good thing about this is that it is used for studies, and so bring advantages to the studies of the students. However, there are still disadvantages being bring by these devices. These are also supported by past studies and literatures, local and foreign, and even environmental issue. To verify what are the general effects of these devices to the studies of the student particularly Bachelor of Science in Accountancy students, I, the researcher, make a research which may be helpful to the students, parents and other stakeholders...

...Running head: AUDIENCE ANAYSIS PAPER Audience Analysis Paper University of Phoenix Audience Analysis Paper What is communication? “Communication is the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs (dictionary.com).” Without communication there’s no collaboration between two people to perform a common cause. When working in a school or organization, there are group and individual communication. At my job, both are commonly performed in a way employee and employers are on the same page to complete a specific task or agenda. In this paper, learning how to foster positive group communication, strategies to increase positive cross-cultural communication, contrast between individual and group communication, and the advantages and disadvantages of using technology for communication were a few of the different communication styles that I’ve learned will reading the chapters 13 and 14. First of all, learning how to maintain a positive group communication can stimulate a good relationship between the groups and formulate an unbelievable atmosphere while focusing on the assignment. Every player on a group has a role! There’s always that one person whom coordinates the group by planning the work and also giving direction. Then he/she encourage who’s open-minded, ready to accept suggestions, and the one who calls people out and get them pumped when the other group member maybe day dreaming. An additional group...

...Running head: ETHICS LEGALITY CLASSROOM Ethics and Legality in Classroom Management Jordan Hollern GCU EDU 536 03/04/2012 Ethics and Legality in Classroom Management A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four peer-reviewed articles that address the legal and ethical implications for classroom management related to the rights and responsibilities of students, parents and teachers. The first article under review is Public School Law-Teachers and Student’s Rights in which the legal rights of both the teacher and the students are defined. The article also includes the legal liabilities of the teacher in the classroom. The Negligent Tort Law states that a teacher may be held accountable by a court of law if he or she could have foreseen and prevented the injury by exercising proper care (McCarthy & Cambron-McCabe, 1992). The duty of the teacher in the classroom is to protect the students (McCarthy, et.al, 1992). The teacher must take all precautions...

...Surveillance Surveillance in Schools: Safety vs. Personal Privacy A project created by Kathy Davis, John Kelsey, Dia Langellier, Misty Mapes, and Jeff Rosendahl Project Home Security Cameras Metal Detectors Locker Searches Internet Tracking “Surveillance…n. close observation, esp. of a suspected person” [emphasis added] --Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder, 1996 In 1995, “The total number of crimes committed per year in or near the 85,000 U.S. public schools has been estimated at around 3 million” (Volokh & Snell, 1998). Our educational system is evolving all the time, and one factor that is constantly changing is the aggressiveness within our schools. In 1940, a survey of teachers revealed that the biggest behavioral problems they had from students were “talking out of turn, chewing gum, making noise, running in the halls, cutting in line, [violating] the dress code, [and] littering” (Volokh & Snell, 1998). In 1990, the toprated problems were “drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide, rape, robbery, [and] assault” (Volokh & Snell, 1998). In 1940, we had little need for surveillance beyond a teacher’s observation and intervention. Today, however, we live in a much more diverse society with troubled youth and adults who have easy access to weapons, drugs, pornography, etc., which have enabled students and staff to bring their violent and/or inappropriate tendencies into the naïve schools. What worked in 1940 (teacher-student confrontation) is not as realistic...

...2010 Joan Horvath Learning Team Charter Analysis University of Phoenix uses Learning Teams to teach and reinforce common communication principles and practices that are also common in the workplace. Multiple Learning Teams are created in each class and each team is responsible for developing a Learning Team Charter. Each Learning Team Charter is a guideline of rules for that team and each team member must participate in the charter’s creation. A good team charter will cover team expectations to include the areas of communication, participation and conflict resolution strategies. We will be analyzing the Team D Learning Team Charter and the importance of effective group communication in this paper. The definition of group according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary is a number of individuals assembled together or having some unifying relationship (An Encyclopedia Britannica Company, 2010). Communication is defined as a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior (An Encyclopedia Britannica Company, 2010). Group communication is the two definitions put together. Group communication is three or more people among each other discussing similar interest, goals, and subjects. Communication is a process that gives a shared meaning and understanding within a group. It is a form of interaction within the group. Group communication helps the group to come...

...Experience at Mary Queen of Peace School My knowledge has grown tremendously at Mary Queen of Peace School. In first Grade, I learned basic grammar and spelling. In Second Grade, my pencil stayed on the paper continually as I wrote in cursive for the first time. It was very exciting and I loved being able to write faster and therefore get assignments done quicker. Math was hard and challenging because each day the class had to complete 100 math problems in a certain amount of time. When third grade arrived, it was on to book reports and short stories in literature. One book report each month was required and I got the choice of presenting my report with a shoebox presentation or poster. There were lots of interesting books I explored and a lot of unique topics I was discovering. Fourth Grade contained more homework, but I got through it. At...

...tolerance policies began in 1994 following the passage of the Gun-Free Schools Act (GFSA). It was generated in response to numerous school shootings that had taken place across the United States (US). The Gun-Free Schools Act entail policy that forces schools to expel students who possess or carry a gun(s) while they are on school campuses and/or property. Zero tolerance policies are in schools all across the United States and are coined “Zero-Tolerance Schools”. Zero-tolerance policies are found in schools ranging from elementary through universities/colleges. The court rulings, laws and policies of zero-tolerance are designed to create a safe learning environment by keeping drugs and weapons off of school property. Punishment relinquished in zero tolerance schools range from detention to expulsion from the school. Some individuals believe that zero tolerance policies go too far, as the punishment is swift and unyielding for various types of inappropriate behaviors enacted by students (Lawyer.com, 2015). This paper examines the effects of zero tolerance policies as it relate to David Silverstein, 13, was inspired to build a model rocket after seeing the movie October Sky, a biography of NASA rocket scientist, Homer Hickam.

...INTRODUCTION/ BACKGROUND What is the case about? In July 1994, the president of National Fabricators Inc Mr. Tom Kruger called his bank manager of the confederation Bank of Canada, Mr.Jim Kashmar to ask that the bank continue to extend a temporary line of credit of $ 1,000,000 for a period of sixty days. They needed this extension because there had been some delays in the collection of the company’s holdbacks for that period. After the sixty days they hoped to have collected their holdbacks and other receivables so they would return to their normal line of credit which was $800,00. In the month before however, national fabricators had asked for the same extension in credit as a result of delays in the collection of some payments for locker room installations done. The bank had reluctantly extended the credit on the basis of the confidence in the new president of the company, relations with client and the company’s impact on community. They however stated that, nothing in the application warranted the extension of further credit. As such this new appeal for an extension had to be very compelling. Background National fabricators was reorganised after Canadian Metal fabricators’ ltd, a family business whose shareholders gave up on and resulted in the company going bankrupt. Mr Kruger bought a substantial amount of shares with his savings from shareholders and assumed the position of president of the company. He was a certified management accountant with a great deal...

...because no one will take it seriously At one point in our lives we have had our disagreements with friends. It might have gone as far as getting kicked out of a group. Its not fun being left out. Any form of bullying is not fun. Bullying has been around for ages. As longs as its been around you would have thought there would be a cure for it. If no one likes mean people, why are people so mean? Do we only pretend not to like mean people? This problem has escalated over the years, and has become more prevalent with todays technology. An example of this is seen in the scene of the movie Carrie. Carrie was a religious girl who was sheltered from wordly things. She did not know what her period was. She was taking a shower in the schools locker room when it happned. She ran over to the other girls screaming and crying. They then began to throw tampons at her. The leader of the group then began to record it and put it on youtube. The video was labled Bloody Mary. This resulted in the girl being banned from prom. On prom night she swiched the ballots so it looked liked Carrie and another boy were king and queen. When Carrie took her position on stage they poured pigs blood on her from a bucket hanging above her. They then started to play the video. Carrie took out her embarrassment and anger through her telekinesis. She then killed most of her classmates including her mother and herself. There is another incident of cyber bullying.

...Sexual Harassment Research Paper Legal Definition of Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of sexual nature that tends to create a hostile or offensive work environment. This also includes displaying material of sexual nature that one may find offensive. (LawInfo, para. 1-2) Sexual harassment vs. gender discrimination Sexual harassment differs from gender discrimination in that the unwanted sexual advances, verbal or physical, is behavioral and seeks personal motives. With gender discrimination, it’s not so much based on the unwanted advances and behavior, but how an individual is treated unfairly on the basis of their sex. In both cases, it can happen to males and females. (Sexualharassmentlawyer, para. 2-3) Legal definition of “quid pro quo” (vicarious liability) sexual harassment and example Quid pro quo sexual harassment is defined as employment benefits that are made dependent on the provision of sexual favors; failing to do so, can have serious drawbacks such as loss of employment or benefits. (USLegal, para. 1) Example, a manager makes sexual advances towards one of his employees and he or she repeatedly rejects him. The manager then tells the individual that they must comply with his request or else they will lose their upcoming promotion and potentially their job. The employee feels pressured and feels as though they must comply since their manager...
