...Militarization of Police Introduction Attention: A police officer climbs out of a military vehicle in front of you carrying an automatic weapon, wearing a helmet, bulletproof vest, and combat boots. Law enforcement says this shows a strong presence in their community, but is this supposed to make their citizens feel safe when statistics show it creates a higher rate of violence against American citizens? I believe that police should not constantly use military equipment for day to day situations. Thesis: The rate of police militarization increased in recent years. Police officers are intended to be public servants, but with the use of military equipment, it appears that law enforcement is at war with the communities they serve. Body A. Steadily on the rise in...

...are those who care not to know what goes on behind that wired fence. We find that some people that are convicted of crimes that they did not commit. Some people would rather turn their heads to what actually happens in a prison institution, because they feel it is no concern of theirs. Innocent women and men face a disaster in life when they find their selves incarcerated in such facility as these. The treatment in prison facilities toward prisoners with health issues or those who develop health concerns that head officials should take control over. Prisoners receive neglect in many different ways that may end their lives. In my essay, I will share with you the life of a man in prison and the treatment that he received from correctional officers. Every prison environment makes it hard to assure minimal standards for ethical research and voluntary informed consent and privacy. Privacy for those who are in these facilities has many concerns to family members who are looking in from the outside. Health issues and concerns for inmates and neglect that occurs in correctional facilities have been concerns that continue to go unnoticed. The state seems to under staff in some areas of managing inmate’s health problems. There are many who may go unattended of their health issues causing drastic or even death in the process. A prison system update yearly would help to protect prisoners and their health issues. Denying them access to medical attention is also unethical as this can result...

...security interest in its strategic economic endeavors. It is generally seen that India’s partnership with ASEAN have had an impact on India’s economic, political, and security related involvement ‘in these larger, concentric coalitions around ASEAN…in East Asia and in the Asian Pacific’ (Gujral, 1996, p. 12). The look east policy has integrated a larger regionalization framework and strategy encompassing the Asia Pacific issues (Scott, 2007). WE ARE TECHNOLOGY THESIS EXPERTS! ORDER NOW! WWW.UKESSAYHUB.COM The Indians-ASEAN links do not only have economic frameworks but strategic underpinnings as well. As Scot (2007) has indicated, china has been a factor in all of the India’s initiatives albeit blurred in economic progressions. Some analysts have argued that the growing Chinese economic and military influence in Asia has been the anchorage on the basis of which the strategic molding of ‘look East Policy’ was structured. India’s continued influence has therefore been viewed as providing ‘a balance’ to Chinas growing influence in the region. India’s aspiration to be a major global power is indisputable. For many years, India took pride in its role as leader of...

...Brittany Peters Instructor Wenrich Eng. 121 7 June 2015 Research Narrative “Okay, so I get to wake up today and have another day he doesn’t.”- Dave Grohl, band member of Nirvana What would music have been like in the 1990s without Kurt Cobain? Or maybe the question to ask is, “What would music be like today if Kurt Cobain was alive?” The grunge movement was brought to life by the front man of the band Nirvana, Kurt Cobain (Kurt and Courtney).He was what most believed to be an iconic man in the 1990s for the music genre known as alternative rock/grunge. Kurt Cobain passed away on April 5th, 1994, in his home, when he was only 27 years old (“April 05”). He recently started a family with his wife Courtney Love, who was also a musician in a band called Hole (Kurt and Courtney). Kurt was in and out of rehabilitation centers for his drug addiction, and soon before his death had, what people considered at the time, an accidental overdose in Rome. The day his corpse was found an electrician reports his findings. The police and fire department arrive. Pictures are taken of the scene, and then handed to detectives to enhance the report of the incident that took place on the street of Lake Washington Boulevard. As news spreads of the musician’s tragedy fans gather at his house and a memorial service is performed in his honor (Kurt and Courtney). I now tell you the story of how and when Kurt Donald Cobain’s body was found. An electrician, Gary Smith, from the company Veca Electric...

It is thought as a business or industry that attracts and provides in international economic activities (Peng, 2011).

...The topic of my thesis: "Study of theories of motivation and the factors motivating effect on staff of the organization." Highly motivated staff - is essential for a successful organization. No company can succeed without the attitude of workers to work with high-impact, without a high level of commitment of staff members with no interest in the final result, and without their commitment to contribute to the achievement of goals. The aim of this work is to study and evaluate the impact of motivational factors at work within the organization and evaluation of the effectiveness of incentives. The implementation of this goal required the solution of the following research objectives: * Define the concept of motivation. * What is motivation? In 1943, in the journal Psychological Review published a paper of Abraham Maslow, which was called "The Theory of human motivation."In this article, Abraham Maslow attempted to formulate human motivation based on their needs. He organized human needs on five general levels. In contrast to the well-known in his time specialists in the field of psychology as Freud and Skinner, the conclusions of which were largely theoretical or based on animal behavior, Maslow's theory of motivation was based on clinical trials with humans. * Study the effect of the motivating factors of the staff of the organization. * What methods of improving staff motivation are the most effective? Any organization, regardless of size and status wants to...

... 2013 Human Trafficking: Modern Day Slavery Thesis: By raising awareness and being involved in the movement, we can help prevent human trafficking. I. Attention A. Attention Getter: What is human trafficking? According to the Polaris Project, Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery. It is the illegal trade of human beings, mainly for the purposes of forced labor and sex trafficking. B. Credibility: We thought that slavery was abolished in the 19th Century, but we were wrong. It is still happening till this day in 161 countries including the United States. As a matter of fact, it is happening in our own communities without us knowing or even being aware of it. II. Need (Problem) A. Problem: The problem with Human Trafficking is that every year thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad. They are being exploited for manual and sexual labor against their will. B. Evidence 1. According to the A21 Campaign, there are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in human history, with an estimated 27 million in bondage. Only 1-2% of victims are ever rescued. 2. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states, “After drug dealing, trafficking of humans is tied with arms dealing as the second-largest criminal industry in the world.” 3. According to Not for Sale Campaign, slavery is wrapped up in almost every industry’s supply chain, tainting the...

...content, content marketing or perhaps the very latest: collaborative content. While there are varying definitions of each, the underlying thesis beneath them all is that web readers, viewers and social-network users are more likely to respond positively to marketing tactics that don't look like advertising and instead take the form of the rest of the content on the website or platform. On Twitter, that means promoted accounts and tweets; on Facebook, sponsored stories. And on media properties, that amounts to written, video or image-rich posts that look a lot like the editorial content on the site and which would make proponents of church-and-state divides between advertising and editorial departments cringe. Mercedes ad complements its content on TheAtlantic.com But whatever form these content-centric marketing products take, the rush of media companies looking to invest in them tells you one thing: They believe a sole reliance on display ads isn't the best way to turn, maintain or grow profits. The question, though, is whether custom content will grow into a go-to revenue source for media properties across the board or just a few select properties that do it best. "The enthusiasm for content marketing is partially an acknowledgement by the industry that banner ads can't be our best and only answer," said Jeff Lanctot, chief media officer at digital ad agency Razorfish. "There's an appetite for finding something new...
