...Case Study – Never on Sunday 1. The personal beliefs of McCoy and the Cathy families influenced the organizational culture by only expecting from their employees what they expect of themselves. People deserve a day of rest. They deserve a break. The McCoy’s and Cathy’s share their values and beliefs and incorporate this into the expected behaviors. Their cultural rules based on their Evangelical Christian belief in their faith through letting their “feet do it” shows the commitment to their God through what they do. 2. The lessons for developing high performance organizational cultures for business that are not family run is that it is proven effective. It is a golden rule that all parents teach their children as they grow up. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Business relationships are not different. This relationships need to follow the golden rule too. Companies can use organizational development techniques to manage, nurture, and guide cultural change and adaptation. With strong commitment to collaborative efforts and human values (the golden rule), group and/or individual intervention is effective. 3. The challenges for a new leader who is interested in moving their organization in the direction of the McCoy’s or Chick-fil-A is to get management to buy in that a day’s worth of lost sales is worth the moral and positive attitudes of the employee’s. Employees consider the no workday as a benefit and feel rewarded. Feeling rewarded...

...marriages in America is about 56% and many children growing up sometimes do not even know one parent, typically the father. I chose the subject of juvenile delinquency and single parent homes because I am the product of a single parent home. Growing up I never knew my father; he left when I was a baby. I grew up living with my mother and grandmother, two people who loved me and made sure I was well taken care of. I knew other children had a father, but it never made a difference to me until I was eight years old. My mother insisted that I go to church every Sunday, so we went to St. Michael’s Lutheran Church. In the adult Sunday school class the subject of single parent homes came up. And John Steben, one of the elders in the church, proceeded to say that not only were single parent homes were not Christian and an abomination in the eyes of God, but that children of single parent homes were more likely to get involved and destructive behavior such as drinking, sex, drugs, and even crime. And specifically I was going to get involved in the destructive behavior. Needless to say that never happened. I think it is truly said that single parent homes have such a stigma about them. Studies have been shown that youth in a single parent home are more likely to become involved in destructive behaviors such as drugs, alcohol, sexual practices at a younger age. They are also more likely to susceptible to depression, anger, suicidal behavior, and behavioral...

...Disorder Case Studies 2 Nichole L. Smith Grand Canyon University PCN-529 March 27, 2015 Disorder Case Studies 2 Caffeine is a popular central nervous stimulant currently found in over sixty plants. There are approximately 90% of individuals who use caffeine regularly in their day to day lives. Caffeine has been added to several items to include food, drinks and even medications to either relieve drowsiness or enhance the effect of pain killers. If not careful with the intake of this stimulant it can cause side effects that may result in serious short or long term complications. Because it targets the central nervous system, the effects may be seen in as little as 15 minutes and should be limited by those who suffer from certain medical conditions or pregnant women as it can result in low birth rate and even miscarriage. Individuals who ingest caffeine regularly and suddenly stop often suffer from caffeine withdrawals within 12-24 hours which leads to symptom such as irritability, temporary depression, and headaches (Mandal,2014). Caffeine Consumption: How much is too much? Caffeine is found in our most favorable consumables to include chocolate, colas, and coffee; these three very rich substances also account for the daily caffeine intake. According to the BBC, an individual should not exceed more than 400mg. of caffeine per day. Since caffeine is a chemical produced from various plants, it was originally designed to kill insects and bugs that tried to eat them which in-turn...

...Case Study: Reasonable Accommodation Stephanie Gunnerson The University of Akron Jen Holmes stood with a group of about twenty young adults outside an Apple retail store after closing time, watching through the glass walls as employees inside cleaned the store and it grew steadily darker outside. She was waiting with the others for a group interview, nervously wondering what to expect. After about a half hour some of her fellow interviewees were getting impatient. “What is taking them so long?” “I’m about to break through this glass.” Jen heard some of the others making comments like these, but she kept quiet, not wanting to complain and feeling more shy from nerves. Instead she ended up making small talk with the man next to her, wondering why he was wearing ripped jeans to an interview. They had a short but pleasant conversation. After a few minutes they saw an employee walking toward them to unlock the door and let them in. Following the others to the rows of seats set up in the back of the store, Jen took a seat and watched as the young man she had been talking to outside walked up to the front and started speaking: “Hi, I’m John and I’m an Expert here.” Jen was stunned that the person she had been talking to was actually an undercover employee, but she was immensely pleased now that she had said nothing negative while waiting outside and that she had had a good conversation with John, knowing it could only help her chances of getting hired. John went...

...following statement : "80% of these people have the last name Nicolussi." Ex. On the last 3 Sundays, Henry D. Carsalesman sold 2, 1, and 0 new cars respectively. An example of descriptive statistics is the following statement : "Henry averaged 1 new car sold for the last 3 Sundays." These are both descriptive statements because they can actually be verified from the information provided. The second type of statistics in inferential statistics. This is a set of methods used to make a generalization, estimate, prediction or decision. Ex. Of 350 randomly selected people in the town of Luserna, Italy, 280 people had the last name Nicolussi. An example of inferential statistics is the following statement : "80% of all people living in Italy have the last name Nicolussi." We have no information about all people living in Italy, just about the 350 living in Luserna. We have taken that information and generalized it to talk about all people living in Italy. The easiest way to tell that this statement is not descriptive is by trying to verify it based upon the information provided. Ex. On the last 3 Sundays, Henry D. Carsalesman sold 2, 1, and 0 new cars respectively. An example of inferential statistics are the following statements : "Henry never sells more than 2 cars on a Sunday." Although this statement is true for the last 3 Sundays, we do not know that this is true for all Sundays. "Henry is selling fewer cars lately because people have caught on to his dirty tricks."...

...Abstract The first time that phone hacking scandal caught the attention from the general public was in November 2005, when Prince William’s knee injury, which was only known to few cronies, was exposed as news by News of the World. Former NOtW royal editor Clive Goodman was accused of hiring private detective Glenn Mulcaire for phone hacking activities. The major victims were celebrities, politicians, and members of the British Royal family. Later in 2006, both Goodman and Mulcaire were sentenced. The chief editor Andy Coulson then resigned from the newspaper. However, in July 2011, it was revealed that the phone of missing school girl Milly Dowler had also been hacked by a journalist from the News of the World. The messages in the voice mail box had been erased, which gave false hope survival to police and the girl’s family and potentially destroyed valuable evidences about the girl’s abduction and murderer. Within more and more , resulted in a public outcry against the News International. On the 8th of July, after the British Parliament’s urgent debate regarding the affair, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced that a public inquiry would look in to the scandal and that further investigations needed to be conducted. Due to advertisement boycotts and unrelenting public pressure, News of the World ended its 168 years publication on 10th of July. Eight days later, former News of the World reporter Sean Hoare was found dead. He was the first to allege phone hacking...

...It is important to remember that math symbolizes education as a whole in this passage, rather than a set of random equations. McBride’s parents always told him to focus on his studies and as long as he stayed true to this command, his life should treat him well. They wanted the best for all of their children; therefore it was appropriate to lay down essential rules in the household. Two scenes that correspond to this idea of education and discipline are also documented in the middle of the chapter. In the first scene, McBride’s mother insisted that he should keep his thoughts private and “educate his mind,” after his countless inquiries of his racial identity as a child. In the next scene, McBride asks his Jewish mother which box he needs to mark off to report his race at school. “Don’t check nothing,” was his mother’s response, because all that mattered was his academic success. The importance of receiving a quality...

...Exploring the World of Pedophilia Abnormal Psychology 201 Abstract In recent years religious groups, policymakers and psychologist have debated information regarding the psychosexual disorder called Pedophilia. Most people agree that this disorder deserves attention, and there are very negative stigmas associated. California Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Democrat, wants to federalize a state law to protect pedophiles.

This research paper will examine the historical, cultural, and psychological information regarding pedophilia and how this disorder is viewed in a modern society. This research paper will also examine the prevalence, causes, and treatment of this disorder.

This research explores the essential presence of temporary activities with in a city ,which requires a critical understanding of the functioning of public space .Finally this research would suggest possibilities of better spatial pattern to enhance spatial interaction and revive urban identities. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION: If an urban environment is to be considered as a spatial ‘system’ and it is to be valued as a whole, “one must consider its parts in relation to its parts, its parts in relation to the whole and the whole in relation to the parts” (Archer et al., 1984, p. 8). People tend to respond to their environment...

...Assess the view that secularisation has been a feature only of modern European society. (33 marks) Secularisation is the transformation of a society from one where religious belief played an important part, to one where it has less and less influence. In the UK it is fair to say that there have been some major changes in the religious beliefs that people have. For example there has been a decline in the percentage of the population going to church and there are now fewer baptisms and church weddings. One reason for this could be that there is a might greater variety of new religions and new age movements that seem to appeal more to society today. Wilson argues that Western society has been going through a long process of secularisation and that since the 1960s the percentage of people going to church has fallen by around 30%. Statistics like this show that European society, in particular, is becoming a lot more secular. Rationalisation is one way that secularisation in Europe can be explained. This is when rational ways of thinking come to replace religious ones and many sociologists argue that this is what has happened in Western society. Weber argues that the process of rationalisation began in the Protestant Reformation which undermined the religious worldview and brought to light the rational scientific outlook. For Weber the medieval Catholic view that dominated Europe saw the world as being like an enchanted garden and God (as well as other spiritual beings) were seen...

...the time. When the separate companies merged in 1953, this concept grew to 31 flavors. [3] Baskin-Robbins is known for its “31 flavors” slogan. The idea of having 31 flavors came from the Carson-Roberts advertising agency (which later Ogilvy & Mather) in 1953, along the slogan “Count the Flavors”, “Where flavor counts.” 31 was also more than the 28 flavors then famously offered at Howard Johnson’s restaurants. [citation?] Burt and Irv also believed that people should be able to sample flavors until they found one they wanted to buy-hence the iconic small pink spoon. During a now famous promotion, Amy Boggioni led a group of three who finished 1 scoop each of all 31 flavors in less than 31 minutes. With such a strong start it would never have been anticipated that Baskin-Robbins would ever face problems with regular sales and recognition. Having been a competitive brand for over 30 years it is a wonder at how places such as: Cold Stone, Dairy Queen and Marble Slab have taken over the ice cream industry...

The NFL provides an outlet every Sunday for people to relax and enjoy exciting entertainment. Everyone looks forward. So many people have invested themselves into their favorite team by purchasing season tickets, sporting countless items of team gear, devoting many hours to fantasy football, and gambling.

I personally look forward to see how my Bengals will fair every season. As every season passes, I become more and more encompassed with the National Football League. I find myself becoming more attached to every storyline throughout the entire year. I become more involved with the draft process, the training camp headlines, and free agent acquisitions. The sixteen game NFL schedule doesn’t quench my thirst, and I find myself wishing for more when the season comes to an end. Although the NFL produces a great product every Sunday afternoon, are they taking the necessary steps to protect and assist the people that make it all possible? Like many of the millions of people that tune in for the NFL on Sunday, I used to find myself craving for the next big hit.

...Many stories are read about family members being killed and never resolved. Every year over 58 percent of family murder victims are females, according to police. Over 30 percent of victims were slain by family members. On Thursday August 4, 1892 a bloody-minded murder occurred. It seems obvious that Lizzie Borden daughter of Mr. Borden and step-daughter of Abby Borden committed this crime due to mental issues, family feuding, and evidence toward murders. Recently, a few studies have examined and found out that 2,823 adults have experienced a parent’s death which will cause difficulties later in life. For example, Lizzie didn’t have a mother guidance her life might have had turned out different if she hadn’t lost her mother at a very young age. Losing a parent at any age can be trauma traumatizing and devastating, studies show it can cause depression and loneliness. In some cases the person may...
