...Faced with the effects of globalization on geopolitical, economic, and cultural relations between societies, nurses are becoming front-line providers in countries where access to healthcare services are limited. In countries where infectious, communicable diseases are largely preventable through vaccination, and simple interventions to improve sanitation and safe drinking water, nurses have a unique opportunity fulfill their social responsibility as health promoters by collaborating with political and healthcare leaders to created sustainable solutions to identified needs. In addition to working as health promoters, nurses need competencies that are necessary to provide holistic nursing care and development of global attitude in providing health care to at risk population.

...The three roles an accountant can play in the AIS An accountant can assume the following three roles in the current business environment: designer, user, and auditor. As a designer, an accountant has to understand business processes and control and map business processes to the system, considering the cost and benefit of different options and critical business needs. It may be noted that the involvement of the accountant at an early stage of system development pays the highest dividends to the organization. This is so because controls need to be incorporated in the system at the design stage itself. Accountants, as users, need to acquire certain skills in order to make productive use of information technology. It is expected of an accountant to possess knowledge in the following areas: 1. A thorough understanding of at least one operating system; 2. A thorough understanding of at least one basic accounting package, word processing software, spreadsheet, database, e-mail software and a browser; 3. A general understanding of systems and application controls for safeguarding systems and data against unauthorized use, piracy, virus attacks and system failure. As user of information technology, an accountant must also know how to test and assess the acceptability of a particular system being acquired or developed for his use and to operate and manage such a system and keep it up to date. As internal and external...

...Illegal Immigration Illegal immigration has been a problem for the United States for a long time. This phenomenon is not new because thousands of illegal immigrants have come into US through either the Mexico border, the Pacific Ocean, or through many other ways. Some people have entered the country legally through a visit visa, but then have stayed illegally and are working in various places. Illegal immigration is a double edged sword; in one hand it provide the local economy with cost benefits as the illegal immigrants are not paid so much, while they are more productive. On the other hand, these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and their employers also do not pay their taxes. There are both pros and cons of illegal immigration and this paper shall take a look at some facts pertinent to illegal immigration in the United States. Every day thousands of illegals stream across the 2,500 miles of border with Mexico. According to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, the total number of illegals in America from this source increases by 275,000 annually. Already the United States is host to an illegal population of 7 to 12 million, of whom the vast majority are Mexican or Hispanic in origin. These illegal and uninvited guests help themselves to jobs, education, welfare and unemployment compensation. The many whose wages are paid under the table pay little or no taxes. And they are easy prey for unscrupulous employers and politicians (Ted Hayes). The U.S. population...

...world international adoption appears to solve two problems at once. However recently Romania has stopped all international adoptions amid claims of corruption and human trafficking. Similar stories have clouded adoptions from Guatemala. Despite these difficulties international adoptions by US citizens have tripled in the past 5 years and legislation has been passed to make it easier for these adopted children to obtain citizenship. While some children complain of a feeling of cultural dislocation, others are sent to Chinese-American summer camps and seem delighted with their new homes and dual identity. The long-term effects of such migrations are hard to predict but many opponents call for more efforts to be made to house children in their country of birth, with proper support for domestic orphanages and adoption schemes. | | Arguments | Pros | Cons | | | | International adoption removes children from the culture into which they were born. Often this causes a sense of dislocation as the child grows older because the do not feel fully a part of their adopted culture nor the culture of the country into which they were born. These feelings can be exacerbated by racial or ethnic distinctions. | | Whatever maybe lost culturally is more than made up for by the benefits of growing up in a secure and loving environment rather than an ‘institutional’ setting. Many parents go to great lengths to learn about the culture of their child’s birth country giving the child the advantage...

European Integration – does it really concern also the way in which we perceive or will perceive our culture?

...Criminal Justice Trends evaluation Marion Wade CJA/394 Criminal Justice Trends evaluation It is important for us to understand past, current, and future trends throughout the criminal justice system. Trends allow us to identify areas that need to be addressed so we may be equipped to handle them better. Society depends of the criminal justice system in many ways to offer them a sense of justice, safety, and peace of mind. Within this paper I will discuss past, current, and future trends and how it affects and changes our criminal justice system. I will also address recent and future trends and contemporary issues that affect the criminal justice system, as well as the values of the criminal justice system in a changing society. Past Trends Even though to most it may not seem like it, the criminal justice system has come a long way in its dealings with the public. In the past the criminal justice system was viewed as a faceless machine that acted independently of the areas it charged to look after. It seemed that it was better to stay detached from the public in order to remain biased in their judgment and to keep their professional appearance. By studying past trends we not only were able to see trends in criminal behavior as well as having the ability to try and create possible projections on why it could lead but, we were also able to view the interaction between the criminal justice system and those it served. Both the criminal justice system and the general public...

Module 2 discussion When I took a humanity class in college, there were two male students who were friends with each other that sat behind me. They were quietly and actively involved during the class discussion and created a pleasant mood. However, during an exam, their voices were loud enough to be heard by me and other students. One female student, C, who sat next me had strongly adverse feelings about their cheating and she wanted us to go to the professor and talk about them together. However, I didn’t because I felt kind of embarrassed reporting the classmates to the professor and did not mind it since it would not have affected my grade anyway. In addition, their voice was loud enough for the whole class to hear, so I guessed that the professor already knew about them and might punish their behavior later. C reported them after the end of...
