...Security Specializations William Feathers SEC/310 February 22, 2016 David M. Bagnoni Security Specializations “Education is not preparation for life; it is life” John Dewey. Statistically educational facilities are safer than being at home, but as things change in the world, we need to start looking at making them even safer. Educational security is relatively new it has only been around for about 60 years (Ortmeier, Ph.D., 2013). In light of recent years, it should be a field that should be expanding. In this paper, I will be discussing this field of security, the role of the security manager, and the importance of the specialization in regard to security interests. Along with addressing the following questions: How does your selected specialization affect international and global business, and how does it affect domestic business? First, this specific field of security covers a broad spectrum of educational institutions from pre-k through college. Each one has their own dynamics and security risks that need special assessments. This field covers one of the world’s more precious commodities which is the safety and lives of future adults. Each person attending school has their own plans and dreams. Most of their time in a learning institution is not concerning if they are safe or not. It is spent studying, learning, and preparing to tackle the world and what they want out of life. So this field has a lot of variety to it. At one school the security...

...Issue 1 As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. ANSWER With the development of science and technology made through out the human history, especially the past one hundred years or so, people these days are spending more time relying on technology to solve various types of problems. Does the ability of humans to think for themselves really deteriorate as they rely more and more on technology? Admittedly, the improvement of technology and its concomitant contribution to a more convenient daily life does to certain extent obviate the necessity of many traditional tasks, subtly affecting the humans’ ability of thinking. Nevertheless, as a whole effect in general, technology progress improves working efficiency and labor safety, and frees humans from low-level repeated physical work to high-level decision-making intellectual work. In addition, technology proposes brand-new problems as well which challenges the humans’ thinking ability to an even unexpected extent. It is true that in many situations, the requirement for thinking seems less demanding than before due to...

...The Education sector has apparently been facing a lot of rampant issues. Henceforth, an education administrator has to face a variety of Legal Issues in Education. In this essay, we shall define the key terms and later explain the ways in which an understanding of Legal issues in education can create a basis for Order, Discipline and Fairness in Educational Management. To begin with, Legal Issues are important issues, topics or situations that people talk about and are authorized by the law. Peters (2013) also says Legal Issues can be “a framework and legislative support put in place to ensure access to and equal participation in Inclusive Education programs.” It also goes on to state that Legal Issues are related with the disabled and the disabilities rights. According to UNESCO, Education is defined as an organized and sustained communication process that brings about learning.(Kelly,1999) The Longman’s Oxford dictionary (2010:1035) defines the concept order as the state that exists when people obey laws, rules and authority. According to the Progressive English dictionary (1967:288), Order is a command which is given by authority. Discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules and orders and punishing them if they do not apply them (Longman’s Oxford dictionary, 2010). Mwanakatwe (2013) also defines Discipline as “a code of conduct or rules of behaviour involving the relationship between the individual and the community in which he lives, works and requiring...

...The organization that I have chosen from the choices that I have been given above is an educational institution. My main reason for choosing an educational institution is because, normally there is much cultural interaction that takes place in this kind of institution as far as the subject is concerned. An educational institution provides us with much cultural diversity as compared to other institutions or organizations like, companies, charitable organizations and even other government bodies among others. Every organization may have a culture, what varies is what type of culture the organization in question has (Davidson & Goldberg 2009). The culture may either be good or bad depending also on the organizational objectives and aim. The educational institution in context can be described to be having more of a good culture to happy staffs or employees. The culture depicted by the organization enables it to achieve its mission and visions. Its culture goes along with a number of criteria which it has adopted in order to achieve its aim. These criteria includes, being strategically relevant as the first point. It also is very strong so as to give the employees and the employers the culture to have the morale that is going to spearhead better performance. Other than the already mentioned, the organization in question in respect to its culture also has got an intrinsic ability that enables to adapt to the various changing circumstances. It should be considered that culture...

...Gender socialization in American educational institutions is what creates the gender norms that so many children grow up believing. As more women take on full-time jobs to support their families or bridge the gaps between their husband’s income and their standard of living, children are placed in daycares and enrolled in after-school activities with educational curriculums. Children grow up spending more time collectively with their teachers and those in positions of educational authority than with their own parents. In the current educational systems, there is no regard for the internal feelings of a male or female on which gender they feel they should be or the personality that they want to develop. Children are grouped by gender in the classroom and segregated in activities based on their sex. Girls learn at an early age that they will be picked last for sports, that boys are stronger than them and better at math and science. Girls and boys are encouraged to behave differently from one another whether consciously or subconsciously by those that educate them. Boys and girls are given different educational goals. Boys are treated as if they are more independent than girls and are given more responsibility in educational settings. Even those that teach children are conforming to gender roles; women teach English and lower grades while men teach physical education and science. Appropriate behaviors and realistic expectations are broken down by gender as well. Boys...

...Research proposal Gender Discrimination and the Role of Education to Overcome it A. Introduction: 1.1 Background Discrimination is a growing problem in each and every society and it is deep rooted in the culture of many societies, which affect the everyday working life in innumerable ways. Discrimination is a well established phenomenon, which poses a great threat to economies, organizations and individuals. There is a wide range of knowledge which helps us understand the basics of discrimination and which provides us with the required data to interpret different cases of discrimination. The existing research further helps us understand discrimination in management of all kinds, especially that due to gender. There is a wide range of knowledge, which confirms the continuing existence of gender discrimination and its deep impact on the lives of individuals and their employers. (Ashberner, 1991; Arnold et al.1995; Davidson and Cooper, 1993; Marshall et al., 1995). Gender Discrimination is the worst of all discriminations and it badly affects the progress of any society. As mentioned above, discrimination has its grounds in the culture of any society. The prevailing thought in the society acts as a catalyst in worsening the situation of gender discrimination. Pakistan is no exception to this main problem which exists almost everywhere around the globe, even in the developed...

...SCHOOL SHOOTINGS I am going to write about the topic school shootings, based on the two texts “Warning” by Terry McCarthy and “It’s only me” by Nancy Gibbs, who both deal with an event which happened 10 years ago. A school shooting is an incident in which gun violence occurs at an educational institution. It most commonly describes an act committed by either students or intruders from outside school campus. They are to be distinguished from crowd-containment shootings enforced by law personnel and are also differentiated from other kinds of school violence, or terror attacks involving multiple weapons. The incident was committed by a, at the time, 15 year old boy called Charles Andrew Williams, Andy for short. He recently moved to Santee, California, a suburb with around 58.000 inhabitants. He was described as being a “good Christian boy” from rural Maryland. Andy was bullied at school, neglected by his father and rarely saw his mother. His parents divorced when he was 5, and things were not good at home. Even his own friends taunted him, but he just slacked it off, like he kept it all inside. His friends described him as being a “follower” and someone you could easily manipulate with. Andy started hanging out with a different group people called the “Grommits”, who were basically a couple of dope-smoking skateboarders. Andy’s friends noticed he started acting different – he ditched school and got into trouble. He talked openly about “pulling a Columbine” and some...

...Influence of Social Institutions: Family, Religion and Education Elizabeth Bouer SOC/100 May 30, 2016 Dr. Karly Way Schauwecker The Influence of Social Institutions: Family, Religion and Education Early philosopher and originator of Functionalism theory, Herbert Spence (1820-1903), compared parallels between the function of the human anatomy and society. “He argued that just as the various organs of the body work together to keep the body functioning, the various parts of society work together to keep society functioning” (OpenStax CNX, 2015, p.15 ). Just as the body has organs that help it to exist and thrive, society also has key components which attribute to its overall success. These essential parts of the successful and fluid existence of a society are referred to as social institutions. Social institutions are structures of principles or conducts, focused on achieving social needs. Six critically significant, outlines of social institutions are: government, education, family, healthcare, religion and the economy (CNX, 2015). Government has its benefits, in that it helps to structure, regulate and organize a society. Healthcare is an essential component, not only for the continuity of existence, but as well as for continuance of reaching full/highest human potential. The economy (more specifically its success), is a critical element for a society’s ability to endure, succeed and grow. However, for many, out of the six institutions, the three most...

...What is the role of institutions according to North? How far does this theory go towards explaining the contours of world development in the pre-modern growth era? Maddison (2006) stated that he “would characterise the whole period 1000-1820 as ‘protocapitalist’”. He believes the transition from pre-modern to modern economic growth took place at around 1820. This will set the stage for this discussion. Within that period, there were two groups of countries which were differentiated by their deviation in economic growth. They were the Group A nations, which included Western Europe, Western Offshoots and Japan, while the rest of the world made up the Group B nations. The contours of world development in this era, largely shaped by Douglass North’s theory of institutions, can be categorise into two main subsets which are Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and population demographics, for the purpose of this essay. North (1990) defines institutions as “the rules of the game in a society or, more formally, are the humanly devised constraints that shape human action”. Institutions exist in every economy, in the form of either formal or informal constraints, developed to define the choice sets, within which individuals and organisations make their decisions. Economic growth is heavily dependent on the productivity of an economy, which in turn is affected by the costs involved. In the neoclassical world of complete information, the gains of trade are only negated by the costs...

...different kinds of institutions-The rule of the game (Law), Social Technologies, Instituted Practices will be briefly introduced. Second part would be summarization of institutions’ evolution from different scholars. The impacts of institutions to economic progress would be mentioned separately here also. Then the third part would be how these three institutions’ combination influences the economic improvement, and more scholars’ economic progress concepts would be discussed together. In this part, three institutional issues would be used as framework to discuss the economic progress brings by institutions. In from family units to business units section, basically it would be how institutions organize a hierarchical social structure for efficiently managing to facilitate division of labor, divide the payoffs, and so on. Following the first section, peace, love, and understanding section argues that laws and language development build up trustable economic environment for strangers to cooperate. Last section is building computers out of people, which integrates two sections earlier and emphasizes institutions creating a web of social structures, norms, protocols, legal structures together making the whole human society as a computer that could self-organized deal with complex problems and pursue the same goal which individual cannot accomplish. In sum, take Taiwan as an example to illustrate all the ideas. 1.Introduction of Institutions: Started by...
