...Preparing to Conduct Business Research Team B RES/351 December 4, 2013 Eric Hogan Preparing to Conduct Business Research In the following paper we will analyze, discuss, and research the reasons behind the U.S. military’s rising suicide rate. Before we get into more details, we will have to ask ourselves some questions as part of our research to get the right answers to support our hypotheses in this complex subject. The first question would be: Who are more likely to commit suicide in the U.S. Army, National Guards, or active duty Soldiers? The suicide rate is higher among the National Guard members because active duty members are accustomed to a more structured way of living, established by standard procedures, steady income, and access to support groups at any given time, which translates into a lower suicide rate among active duty members. National Guard and Reserve Soldiers, predominantly serve part-time, which usually consist of one weekend a month and two weeks during the summer, except when activated for deployment missions. Thus, acquiring to adapt to the active duty way of living, which was introduced to them in basic training, in addition, Reservist have to combine his or her personal lives, financial, and work related issues with his or her transition to active duty status. “In addition, most of the suicides occurred outside the military context—not during a weekend drill, or during annual training, and not while performing other active duty military service...

...The main form of punishment for breaking the law in the United States is incarceration. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reports that at the end of 2010, there were 2,266,800 adults incarcerated in the U.S. federal and state prisons, and county jails (Prisoner Statistics, 2012). When one adds the reported 493,100 corrections staff working inside the prison or jail, the total number of people interacting on a daily basis in this closed society creates conditions where corruption at some level is likely to occur (Bureau, 2012). Research suggests corruption of correction officers, also known as detention officers, or guards is a serious issue that should be continually addressed by facility management because it occurs for many reasons and takes on many forms that can pervert the justice system. This paper will explain some main forms of corruption, give outrageous examples of documented corruption, and spell out why, given the ethics expected of the profession, corruption must be continually addressed and prevented. The first step for criminals is finding the officer with a mindset that can be corrupted. Low to median pay scales for these officers and an increase in offenders affiliated with the gang element of society has increased the potential for corruption related manipulation of prison staff (Diaz, 2009). “Corrections and law enforcement work by its very nature involves the...potential for gradual deterioration of social-moral inhibitions and perceived sense of...

...PRINCIPLES OF ETHICS RESEARCH PAPER MR. PHLEPS In the Muslim religion women are often covering up to show modesty. But it is not a requirement some Muslims reveal. Here is a passage from the Quran: "Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; and that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments ..." (Qur'an 24:30-31) Many Muslims argue that it is mandatory that all women cover up. But others disagree. Many claim that it is a choice and that they have the freedom to choose to cover up or not. The incident earlier this week has this issue in question. A woman in Orland Park was arrested for gruesome charges. She beat her 2 year old niece over the course of 4 days. Resulting in the death of 2 year old Bhia Hadid. Nour...

...1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background of the Study Many companies nowadays are already engaging with the products of information technology to a more convenient and faster processing of the data in their business. Every small work that people do is technology dependent. Today, every other person is recognized by the device or gadget, he carries; which is technically advanced. Ultimately, people can say that, "living without technology is like living without air. Therefore, people are much dependent on technology. Technology made their lives simpler but much dependent on it. Communicate with a person in remote areas within fraction of seconds; make a trip around the world within no time, all these are possible with the advanced technology; making us more dependent on its usage. Technology made devices to have a multitasking function. The simpler the work with the use of technology; the more we get dependent on it. Technology made people dependent on it and we can’t expect nor imagine a life without using the word "technology" in it. Therefore, technology plays a major role in our lives. Technological advances have lifted the burden in people’s work on daily basis. There are few drawbacks to some aspects of technology (such as pollution), but overall technology has greatly improved and influenced many aspects of living for most people. In the society many companies are now engaging and integrating their business using the web, one of the reasons is to promote the business without...

...Family Cultural Research Paper Ashley Ziemann WITC New Richmond Family Cultural Research Paper In Switzerland, there were very wealthy land owners. They were known as the Wipfli family. I did not realize that they were from royalty, I had always just known them as the Wipfli’s. They lived in the Wipfli castle containing 30 rooms, which was wsurrounded by a wall and a moat, which is still owned and occupied by present members of the family. Inside the castle at each of the four corners of the castle, there was a large dungeon. All the walls were covered by murals. There was a circular marble stairway that wound its way up in the middle of the building. On the stairs were the Stations of the Cross. The castle is noted for its one-half mile tunnel which leads from the castle, under the river and comes out to the next village where there was a lake. The purpose of the tunnel was to provide an escape during World War 2. It also has a summer house way up in the mountains where the family lived during long hot summers. My cousin, Kathi, has a painting of the summer house over her dining room fireplace. One of the original family’s sons fell in love with Josephine Van Albert, of the family of Prince Albert (on the tobacco can). They married against her families objections which was possible because the Wipfli’s were wealthier than the Van Albert’s, and they moved from England to Switzerland. Charlotte’s father promptly disowned her, thereby cutting her off all claim our family...

...behavior of individuals as well as it produces relationships. This paper will discuss who this effects, what data exists on the topic, and how relevant it is. Insight will be given on what implications this will have for Canadian society and in return some possible solutions will be offered. An Article written by by Calvert and Pempeck states in one study, college students reported using Facebook an average of 10 to 30 min daily. Considering Focault’s ideology of power, which in essence relates to the availability in which one provides their time and attention, Facebook, is incredibly powerful. Facebook currently has over 845 million active users with many users visiting the site at least once on a daily basis. Because there is no one physically forcing individuals to visit these social networks much less sign up for them to start with, this is a great example of disciplinary power. For some these social networks act as journals or personal diaries, providing them with a sense of expression, while for others it is a way to reconnect with old friends or family that may have started to become more distant. Whatever the reasoning, all users are unified with a sense of belonging. As well as controlling the amount of time you spend on the network or who can obtain an account with them, it always controls your behavior. For example one is much more reluctant to deviate from the norm when under scrutiny much like a guard provides with the idea of a panopticon in a prison. Also Upon...

...When I was six years old, my mom asked me, how about eating a hamburger outside? and I answered “Yes!” and went out with her. But instead I went to a public health center, not fast food restaurant and got vaccinated. It was very painful and I cried. Many people may have an experience like me. However vaccinations help us not to suffer from a certain health problem and lead to an advantageous response to infection. We have had many inoculations decades such as polio, measles, tetanus, diphtheria, etc. As a person of South Korea, I have had many vaccinations. It plays an important role in living healthy. Therefore, I think that all nations should be mandatory vaccinations because it would protect individual and the nation’s health. According to Health Affairs, a journal about healthcare and health policy, a vaccine was attempted for the first time by Edward Jenner who was a doctor from the United Kingdom in 1796. During this time, smallpox spread throughout the UK. Meanwhile Jenner discovered that ranch workers milking cows everyday didn’t catch well the disease. There was a disease, cowpox that is similar to smallpox but a weaker form. When a person contracted cowpox, he or she could endure well than a person who caught smallpox and wasn’t stricken with smallpox anymore. Inspired by this realization Jenner invented the smallpox vaccine after some experiments using cowpox virus. Since then the term ‘vaccine’ began to be used by Louis Pasteur who has been called “microbial father”...

...The mystery behind the religious relic, the Shroud of Turin, has cultivated an array of attitudes and views towards it since its existence, making it one of the most debated and controversial topic in the Christian world. Even after extensive scientific research has been conducted on it, the inevitable question of whether the image on the shroud belonged to Jesus Christ remains unresolved. The Shroud itself is an ivory linen cloth with a herringbone weave. Measuring 14 feet 3 inches long by 3 feet seven inches wide, the cloth itself features a faint shadow-like image of the front as well as the back of a man with a beard and long hair with his hands laid in front of him. Blood stains are also apparent in several areas of the shroud and the material is also disfigured by stains and fire damage caused by its exposure to fire in 1953. The Shroud has also been at hazard from fire in at least two other occasion and was sent to the Poor Clare Nuns for repairs. The earliest known origins of the shroud was in 1357, in the town of Lirey, where it was believed to be housed in the local Church. The canons of this church, proclaimed it to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Upon hearing these claims, the neighbouring Bishop D’Acris stated in his letters to Pope Clement VII of Avignon how the cloth was, “cunningly painted” and that the canons were, “falsely declaring” and “pretending” that it was Jesus Christs’ Shroud. The rise of fake religious relics as a consequence of the widespread...
