...Health and Safety The Health and Safety act began in 1974 and it was design to protect the safety health and welfare of your employees also the duties and responsibly followed both by employer and employees. This act is and enabling act which means you can add other legislation to it without having to change the act itself. This act states that when you have more than five employees working in the company you should have a written health and safety policy consisting of the aims and objectives for what will be achieved in terms of health and safety for the company. Why do you think we need health and safety in the workplace? * To prevent injuries * To keep staff safe * To make sure customers are safe * If the staff are injured due to no health and safety in work place you can lose staff, which means you would need to employ more part time staff. What might happen if there was no legislation to protect workers from harm? * Abuse from the manager * The owner would not care, as they wouldn’t need to pay compensation for injuries * Wouldn’t worry as they can easily get more employees. Hazards in one of the business… Primark * Clothes in the floor- to prevent it you can have your own section=stations where each staff knows that this is there station and it need to be cleaned * Spillage of drinks- to prevent this you could tell customers not to bring food in to shop for health and safety purpose. * Forgetting your pass- to prevent this...

...CASE: IT WASN’T ABOUT RACE. OR WAS IT? 1.- Identify two different concepts that have been discussed in readings and lectures that you see playing out in this case. * Stereotype: A.- Definition: We can define this concept as “A perceptual and cognitive process in which specific behavioral traits are ascribed to individuals on the basis of their group membership”. (Cox, 1993) We can also define it as a rigid, exaggerated belief associated with a mental category, that can be more or less rational and that is a consequence from the complex environment and the lack of information that the one who consider it shows. In other words, it comes up to simplify the information and the environment. It is important to know that a stereotype result from differences in levels of contact of individuals with members of “outgroups”. In this way, the lower the contact the larger the tendency to evaluate them along fewer dimensions. It is also important to know that a stereotype does not have to be necessarily bad; traits associated with the group can be positive or negative. B.- Give specific examples in the case of where the concept plays out. The stereotype suggested here is the one of the “black criminal”. Unfortunately it is usually associated black people with criminals, or at least there is a thought about that there is a higher probability that a black to be a criminal than a white to be so. We can see how in the case Hope thought that Dillon was a criminal because he entered the...

... It is known for the war that ended slavery. What most people don’t know is the war was not originally fought for the abolition of slavery. The South, or the Confederate, wanted to exercise their rights as states and split from the north. Well Abraham Lincoln thought that would be the downfall of the United States. The Civil War was fought to between the Union and the Confederacy on the issue of splitting up the United States. The country was divided between two philosophies, either they thought the country could only survive and prosper as a whole, or they believed the south had the right to split from the union. The country was divided between two different philosophies. The North believed if the South seceded from the North the country would crumble. While the South believed they had the right as states to separate themselves from the Union. (Malvasi) Abraham Lincoln was the head of the Unions thinking. He had a great sense of political knowledge. He realized if the south did secede the Union wouldn’t stand a chance against attack because half of the country essentially would have been gone. Lincoln originally had no plans of abolishing slavery all his focus was on keeping the country together in one strong unit. (Malvasi) The South on the other hand felt they had been mistreated by the Union and were being taken advantage of. Soon the idea of secession came around and South Carolina was the first to make the threat. They were quickly followed by states like Georgia and Mississippi...

...Do you think America was really free during the 1600s through 1865? I know America was free because of some of these reasons. I knew slavery was not wanted in America and that it should be abolished. Furthermore, The Bill of Rights protected the people's freedom. Also, the Star Spangled Banner tells us that America is home to the free and brave. Slavery and how it was not wanted was a big part in showing America was truly free. There was no mistake that slavery was very bad. Whipping and beating a living being was cruel. That’s why America had to abolish slavery. The south's economy depended on slavery and was not happy that they would have to let them go. The north had already given up slavery. America was free because of the...

...separate when dealing with education is beneficial. Writing Assignment 4 The separation of church and state, is the concept to keep religions out of government. It was made to keep the government neutral and so no national religion would ever be established. Over the years is has been a very heated issue. As this issue grows, America grows in population, our nation is the only country where people from many different backgrounds and cultures come together, and with them come all their different religions. History Our nation was started because people craved freedom of religion. Many Pilgrims fled from Great Britain to acquire freedom of religion, because at that time Great Britain had a national religion. It was so important to them to have religious freedom that they gave up all they had. They gave up the security of staying in Great Britain and they travelled to the unknown. Many of them died in the first year they were here. They made a sacrifice to better the lives of their children and everyone else who came after them. First Amendment of the Constitution Separation of the church and state was never specifically stated in the constitution; however, the first amendment does state that it prohibits making any laws against a religion or that hinders the exercise of free religion. The first amendment was written for the sole purpose that the Pilgrims did not want what happened in Great...

...Moss Eng. 113-A Ms. Jennings Tupac Shakur, the Rose That Was “The Rose That Grew from Concrete,” a poem by the late Tupac Shakur, is a poem that parallels Tupac’s life from early childhood until his death and beyond. The concrete representing the struggles and hardships that were a part of Tupac’s earlier days. The rose represents Tupac and his determination to make something of himself against all odds. Tupac Shakur, born Lesane Parrish Crooks on June 16, 1971, spent the majority of his youth in New York City where he was born. In Tupac’s poem the concrete symbolizes his early childhood and the struggles that were a part of growing up. Tupac’s father was absent for most of his life, according to the (urbandictionary.com). Tupac did not meet his biological father, Billy (William) Garland, until after he was shot five times on November 30, 1994, in New York City. Tupac would eventually incorporate the “thug life” persona in his life which would lead Tupac on a downward spiral of misfortunes. Mikal Gilmore, in Rolling Stones article characterizes Tupac as “perhaps the most despised man in America.” Gilmore goes on to describe the late rapper’s music as being merciless and condemned by some of Americas most powerful people (Glimore102-104). Tupac would eventually end up in jail for sexual assault which would not be his last brush with the law. Between Tupac’s vision of what the concrete symbolizes and what was instilled in him from a mother and step father that were members...

...The Man Who Was Almost a Man President Abraham Lincoln signed the Proclamation Emancipation. This document gave slaves their freedom. Sharecropping was also called tenant farming. Blacks viewed this as the only opportunity to become self-sufficient. Knowing that slaves had nowhere to go and all they knew was farming or domestic work; through this system, the landowner still exercised a great degree of power, illustrated by the terms of a contract. Some plantation owners took advantage of majority of the black population, because they could not read, write or count. The plantation owners needed them to keep maintaining the fields and crops. The owners would over charge them for equipment, tools, and even rent if they lived on the land. As the most common farming arrangement, former slaves did not receive payment until the crops were harvested and turned into the landowner. In return, they would be paid, but not equally. They were typically given a portion of the crops instead of money. Many times they were told or cohered into signing a contract with the plantation owners saying they must pay back any advances received, cost of tools, and rent. Richard Wright’s short story “A Man Who Was Almost a Man” from the book of Eight Men clearly illustrate the continuous enslavement by means of sharecropping. A young boy named Dave decides the time has come for him to be a “Man”. Therefore, he makes an adult decision to purchase a gun. After purchasing a revolver he makes a series of...

...provided some guidelines are followed. Introduction Every company throughout the world has from time to time completed an internal analysis of itself. Kraft Foods is no different. To remain profitable in this economy, Kraft cannot remain stagnate. This report will accomplish an internal view of Kraft Foods’ strengths and weaknesses. After analyzing these strengths and weaknesses, Kraft can use the strength of innovation and the weakness of supply and turn them both into good opportunities. Strengths Innovation: One of Kraft Foods’ greatest newfound strength is innovation. However, this was not always the case. In 2008, Kraft ranked next to last in its peer group in new product successes. (Goudreau, 2013) For the rest of 2008 and 2009, 17 of 19 new products introduced into the market were considered failures. There is even a quote from an outside company consultant who was brought in to report on Kraft’s innovation process who said that “Kraft is where good ideas go to die.” (Goudreau, 2013) However, in 2010 Kraft brought in some new senior level management that drastically changed Kraft’s innovation process. Instead of waiting for new ideas to develop naturally, Kraft decided to focus its innovation efforts on only a few ideas. The result of this is that Kraft developed MiO drink mixes, Oscar Mayer...

...meets his tragic demise under the pressure of his own personal demons. Okonkwo is a product of the years of suffering he endured with his father Unoka. Unoka has a strong and influential role contributing to why Okonkwo’s tenacious behaviour and unpremeditated actions lead to his downfall in the novel, “things fall apart”. This downfall happens as he tries not to become like his father which is ultimately ironic. Okonkwo is a fierce worrier who rules his household with an iron fist, his word is deemed final and he is revered by many in his clan. Okonkwo’s is said to “had had no patience with unsuccessful men” and Unoka was a very unsuccessful man. He died without title and in debt. To the majority of the clan of Umuofia, he “was a failure”. Okonkwo “was ashamed of him” and due to this he tried with every fibre of his being to be the exact opposite of his father, he was determined not to be a failure. Achebe then introduces irony with Okonkwo’s eldest son Noweye, who is said to be feminine, weak, and lazy. Infect he has traits like Okonkwo’s father. This situation is very ironic because the person Okonkwo tries to be in stark contrast, the man who he is said to be “ashamed” of, his son resembles the most of any of his children. It is almost as if Unoka is reincarnated in Nwoye. Nwoye however does begin to display masculine qualities, but converts to Christianity which Okonkwo sees as the ultimate act of betrayal. To some readers Noweye may not seem feminine or weak at all, we see at...

...Issues Facing Canadian Farmers Today Canadian farmers face many problems such as dealing with the effects of international subsidies. One of the problems that farmers face is the loss of farmland. Due to urban sprawl and rural non-farm development Canada is losing thousands acres of farmland annually. We need to protect our farmland because it’s the base for our agricultural economy. On top of that, our farmlands provide a healthy environment to our wildlife. The American farmland Trust, a nation-wide, not-for-profit agency is working on the preservation of farmland for many years now. They believe that there are four fundamentals to creating growth strategies that benefit farmers, urban dwellers and suburban residents. One, being communities must plan out a good framework that balances out all interest such as work and transportation. Two, being subsidies which support sprawl over top quality farmland must be eliminated. Three, being the support of private landowners must be enlisted to help create land conservation and smart growth strategies. All levels of government must support and commit themselves to the protection of preservation of farmland and open spaces. Canada has good farmland and to pave over it for communities is not right. To make an inch of good topsoil takes millions of years, so there is no way of getting our farmland once it’s lost to the urbanization sprawl. Another problem farmers face are the decline of the family farm and the growth of agribusinesses...

...Human rights are "commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being."[1] Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in local, regional, national, and international law. Peace education is the process of acquiring the values, the knowledge and developing the attitudes, skills, and behaviors to live in harmony with oneself, with others, and with the natural environment. i•de•ol•o•gy (ˌaɪ diˈɒl ə dʒi, ˌɪd i-) n., pl. -gies. 1. the body of doctrine or thought that guides an individual, social movement, institution, or group. 2. such a body forming a political or social program, along with the devices for putting it into operation. 3. theorizing of a visionary or impractical nature. 4. the study of the nature and origin of ideas. 5. a philosophical system that derives ideas exclusively from sensation Distance Formula The distance formula can be obtained by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

...ARTISTIC IDEAS OF BYZANTINE Byzantine art is the artistic products of the Eastern Roman, or Byzantine, Empire, as well as the nations and states that inherited culturally from the empire. Though the empire itself emerged from Rome's decline and lasted until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, many Eastern Orthodox states in Eastern Europe, as well as to some degree the Muslim states of the eastern Mediterranean, preserved many aspects of the empire's culture and art for centuries afterward. A number of states contemporary with the Byzantine Empire were culturally influenced by it, without actually being part of it (the "Byzantine commonwealth"), such as Bulgaria, Serbia, and the Rus, as well as some non-Orthodox states the Republic of Venice and Kingdom of Sicily, which had close ties to the Byzantine Empire despite being in other respects part of western European culture. Art produced by Eastern Orthodox Christians living in the Ottoman Empire is often called "post-Byzantine." Certain artistic traditions that originated in the Byzantine Empire, particularly in regard to icon painting and church architecture, are maintained in Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Russia and other Eastern Orthodox countries to the present day. Byzantine Mosaics (c.500-843) Using early Christian adaptations of late Roman styles, the Byzantines developed a new visual language, expressing the ritual and dogma of the united Church and state. Early on variants flourished in Alexandria and Antioch...

...The year was 1981, and the first discovered cases of PCP, Pneumocystis Cabrini pneumonia was discovered in five young males who did not fit the norm for being diagnosed with this disease. In 1983, the isolation of a T lymph tropic retrovirus was found. In January 1983, the CDC reported a new disease which could be sexually transmitted both homosexually and heterosexual, passed from mother to infant, through blood and blood products. A note was made that the disease could also be passed from a negative host, who carried the disease asymptomatically. On February 7th, the world takes notice of the African American blacks and their relationship with the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In 2006, blacks composed approximately 12% of the United States population over the age of 13. Out of that reported number it was estimated that 46% of them are living with HIV/AIDS. 63% of those cases were from between male to male cases, with 83% new cases being from high risk heterosexual black females. The numbers from the CDC report it is an estimated 12.3 per 10,000 blacks that are currently affected yearly. The hardest hit population by the HIV/AIDS virus in the United States has been the African Americans. Unlike some disease that affects certain races based on race or ethnicity, the blacks are targets because of their social and economic status. 25% of all blacks which live in the United States live in poverty. Based on that fact alone sociologists suggest that because of their social status it affects...
