...violent game. I could tell the excitement on the kids’ faces, and when I greeted them, they did not even reply to me. That incident made me think about all the articles of how violent games affect children. Whereas school violence becomes more and more serious, violent games without close control from the government and families is one of the main reasons. Just because of a small contradiction, students can go straight to a fight, acting like some gangsters, and in the worst case, deathly accidents happen. Do violent games lead to violent behaviors? Do they have bad effects on children and society? Many people nowadays would reject those questions and provide various reasons to prove that violent games are good in general. If we take a look on both sides of the problem, video games are great products of entertainment technology that can bring some good effects, but in most of the cases, the bad effects infringe the good effects, especially for violent games, and that’s why we should limit children playing those by banning violent games for all minors in all states. Video games are great products of entertainment technology that can bring some good effects. After six long researches, a group of American scientists announced on Nature Reviews Neuroscience magazine that video games can create some positive influences on children’s social behaviors, increase particular skills for people. They can also become educational tools with images, or create positive...

...These are shooters who have had a bad experience in their life and their rage comes from the build-up of depression. Every shooter has their own story and reason as to why they chose to attack. Psychiatrist, Dr. Realmuto, claims that we spend more money on people with obvious problems or obvious talents, but we tend to forget about the people who do not fit into those groups. He thinks that traumatic events can cause people with a certain genetic background to act out. Realmuto believes that people should be screened for genetic markers that may prevent any future outbursts. Psychologist David Walsh says that we can not blame school shootings on culture and media. He thinks school shootings happen because of unstable and angry...

...The nation had just finished its war with Al Capone’s gang (Al Capone, 2013). The people were tired of the unrestrained violence and, in an apparent classic effort to obtain safety at the expense of liberty, were willing to accept limits on the right to bear arms. Although this discussion is not about the history of gun control but about the right to bear arms, it bears mentioning that, in almost all cases in which federal gun control has been enacted, the legislation was enacted following an acute emotional crisis or tragedy that either frightened people or tugged at their heart strings (Garrett). In 1968, following the assassinations of President Kennedy, Rev. Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy, Congress passed the Gun Control Act of...

...Part 1- Facts of the Case Prior to the Tyco scandal, the company was one of America's largest conglomerates, with operating revenues of 38 billion dollars and 240,000 employees, worldwide. Tyco Laboratories began operations in 1960, performing experimental work for the U.S. government. The firm went public in 1964 and quickly expanded, mostly by acquisition, to exploit the commercial applications of its work. Dennis Kozlowski joined the company in 1975 as an assistant controller. The company subsequently shifted its focus from growth to profits within its three primary divisions: fire protection, electronics, and packaging. Kozlowski joined Tyco's board in 1987 and became president and chief operating officer two years later. Kozlowski engineered a coup to become Tyco's chief executive officer (CEO) in 1992 and the chair of the board in 1993. He diversified the company, branching into health care. Tyco eventually became the second largest producer of medical devices in the United States. On December 5, 2001, the Tyco shares were trading for 59.76 on the NYSE. B. Identification of all individuals or firms who knew about, participated in, or condoned the behavior.

It is a common agreement that morality is located within the scope of duty. Kant corroborates this held agreement by stating the categorical imperative which every human is obliged to act upon. He conceived this categorical imperative as the moral law which all those who claim to be moral beings have to live on. However, he also affirmed that only autonomous beings can be moral. Moreover, Autonomy seems to be opposed to any idea of law. It is important to note that Kant conceived...

...vital to athletes involved in the sport and help them to play with lowered risks of long term injuries that could possibly affect not only them but also the league in the future as well. The reasons for these changes of rules in the NFL come from various points of emphasis. Legal actions taken by former NFL athletes have plagued the league and its reputation as of late, prompting this proactive approach to reduce the risk of long term effects on players. With all of the legal actions being performed on the NFL some felt that these changes that needed to happen would solely be kick started because of the legal aspect of it as represented by this quote, “"I don't think it'll be driven by public opinion, but by lawyers and insurance companies," David Meggyesy, who played linebacker for the St. Louis Cardinals in the nineteen-sixties.” (McGrath, 2011). One of the main concerns by the NFL is the long term affects that concussions have been shown to have. Extended periods of head trauma have been shown to lead to many dangerous and tragic health problems later in athlete’s lives. As more and more recently retired athletes surface through media outlets with the different health problems they are faced with, the NFL is working hard in hopes to change the quickly degrading reputation that the sport is evolving into. This plan to help current...

...ETHICAL DECISION MAKING AND ETHICAL LEADERSHIP To improve ethical decision making in business, one must first understand how individuals make ethical decisions in an organizational environment. Too often it is assumed that individuals in organizations make ethical decisions in the same way that they make ethical decisions at home, in their family, or in their personal lives. Within the context of an organizational work group, however, few individuals have the freedom to decide ethical issues independent of organizational pressures. ETHICAL – ISSUE INTENSITY The first step in ethical decision making is to recognize that an ethical issue requires an individual or work group to choose among several actions that various stakeholders inside or outside the firm will ultimately evaluate as right or wrong. Ethical issue intensity, then, can be defined as the relevance or importance of an ethical issue in the eyes of the individual, work group, and/or organization. it is personal and temporal in character to accommodate values, beliefs, needs, perceptions, the special characteristics of the situation, and the personal pressure prevailing at a particular place and time. Ethical – issue intensity reflects the ethical sensitivity of the individual or work group that faces the ethical decision – making process. Research suggest that individuals are subject to six “spheres of influence” when confronted with ethical choices – the workplace, family, religion, legal system, community...

...During the late 1930’s the United States was in a state of increased unrest as the Great Depression was ravaging the nation. Distress in Europe was causing pressure to build on the government to begin thinking about the next decade as one that would decide quite a bit about world affairs for decades to come. In 1933 Adolf Hitler had become chancellor of Germany and as he began to consolidate his power he was rapidly developing an environment that would sustain his plans for the Third Reich. He viewed the treatment of Germans after World War I as unnecessarily drastic and used this in his emphatic speeches to convince the German people to stand up against the sanctions imposed on them by the Treaty of Versailles. He viewed the treaty as a continuation of French aggression by diplomatic means through occupation and war indemnity. The ensuing war reparations had effectively crippled the German economy and after Black Tuesday and the collapse of the United States economic system the Germans could no longer rely on loans provided by the US and rapid inflation caused their currency to skyrocket to nearly four billion Reichsmarks for every one US dollar. The German government had been struggling to find a leader and after repeated votes of non-confidence towards the existing system the Nazi party, and it’s radical agenda perpetrated by Adolf Hitler, gained complete control of the German government. He preached that the German people were the rightful race to rule the...

In 1972, a new form of entertainment became commercially available with the release of the video game Pong. In Pong, two players tried to "hit" an electronic "ball" back and forth. From these humble beginnings, a revolution in the entertainment industry was born. Interactive game revenues are now significantly greater than the domestic film industry ("Industrial Strengths," 2000). Worldwide video games sales are now at $20 billion annually (Cohen, 2000). The PlayStation video game console, which began as a side project at Sony, now represents $6 billion of the company's $20 billion in annual sales (Cohen, 2000). It is reasonable to question whether video games may have similar effects...

...Kerry Walsh-Bartlett 27 Research Paper Grade Draft December 6, 2011 The Silent Cry The air is cold, and the room is dark except for the fluttering flicker of a monitor positioned in the corner of the room. The medal stirrups are cold and uncomfortable while lying on a paper, covered doctor’s table. The whirring sound of the suction machine is buzzing through the air. It’s almost over, but no one catches a glimpse of the monitor which is showing a picture of a tiny fetus inside the womb struggling violently to avoid the intruding device of death. This is, in all actuality, the witnessing of the killing of a person, a human being. This topic is so powerful that the debate over pro-life against pro-choice has been going on for many years. People need to be made aware of what is happening nearly everyday in the United States which is the killing of innocent lives by the thousands. According to the pro-life movement, abortions need to be prohibited with no exceptions, to defend the right of human life. Contrary to this belief, pro-choice activists strongly disagree by arguing on every level possible and stating that it is the woman’s decision if she wishes to interrupt a pregnancy within her womb. So, while supporters of abortion claim it should continue to be legal in the United States, especially if the mothers life is endangered or the pregnancy was caused by rape, it actually should not be made legal because of the fact that it is the killing of an innocent human...
