...EST1 Task 1 (Ethical Situations in Business) Tuesday, July 21, 2015 Company Q is a small grocery store that faces multiple roadblocks that a bigger national chain does not normally face. These roadblocks may include things like brand recognition, disposable income, sales on their stock, advertising and the capability to help other stores that maybe facing poor sales. Being a smaller company they may operate with a different code of ethics and have different areas of emphasis. A large chain store may have the capability to absorb losses that resulted from theft, etc. but a smaller chain store may not be capable of doing so. Company Q has had to close down a couple of stores due to these stores not being able make a profit. With this closure they have had to redirect there priorities. At the end of the day it is about money and Company Q is not a non-profit organization so they have to be primarily accountable to their financial statements to survive. With the food bank asking if Company Q would donate some day old organic foods, Company Q had to make a choice. The socially responsible choice would be to donate food to help out the people within the neighborhood, however Company Q has legit concerns in regards to the possibility of employees stealing the donated food and taking it home instead of donating it to the local food bank. Company Q made the choice to dispose of the food instead of dealing with the possibility of theft from their employees. I think Company...

...Professional Roles & Values Project Heather Cantrell Western Governors University Nursing has evolved over the years to entail more than just caring for another person. The nursing profession encompasses regulatory agencies, professional organizations, theories, values, traits and a code. The following outlines some of what it means to be a nurse. A. Functional Differences The Board of Registered Nurses is an entity set up to protect the public from nurses and to regulate the practice of registered nurses. It protects the public by: setting educational standards for RN’s, approving nursing programs, evaluating license applications, issuing and renewing licenses, issuing certificates, taking disciplinary action when needed and managing intervention programs. The BRN assists me by keeping me accountable to the pledge I made as an RN to adhere to my scope of practice and maintaining my continuing education units (BRN, 2016). Professional Nursing Organizations, like the American Nursing Association, act as a voice of a nurse to the public and government. The ANA promotes the rights of nurse’s in the workplace, projects a positive view of nursing and lobbies the congress and other health care industries on behalf of nurses. My membership with the ANA personally is a resource to me for workplace issues that come up and ethical concerns I may have. The ANA offers continuing education units in the form of conferences, seminars and articles. I benefit from the ANA by having...

...The challenges facing the Intelligence Community (IC) in modern day consists of two types: those specific to the mission and those practically complex. Both types must be considered when seeking to improve intelligence analysis.1 The IC is adjusting from the Cold War era to the different difficulties of the 21st century. This shift requires moving from one core “target” to many diverse targets, from threats to national survival to threats to specific U.S. targets, and from demands for general information.2 Additionally, protecting the rights of Americans is a “core facet of our information sharing efforts.” 3 While we must enthusiastically protect the United States from the real threat of terrorist attacks, we must just as enthusiastically protect the information privacy rights and other legal rights of Americans. 4 Further, with planning the IC can have both enhanced privacy protections and increased information sharing. “The President reaffirmed this in his December 16, 2005, Memorandum to the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies.”5 At the direction of the President, the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence developed a set of Privacy Guidelines to ensure the information privacy and other legal rights of Americans are protected.6 Furthermore, the Privacy Guidelines provide a consistent framework for identifying information that is subject to privacy protection, assessing applicable privacy rules, implementing appropriate protections, and ensuring...

...writing. In fact, the three universities that I have attended in the past have all required me to use the APA style of writing. As I recall my high school years, the APA style of writing also seemed to be a favorite amongst my high school teachers. They all required that term papers be written in APA style as well. This type of writing actually does not differ much from the ones included in the text reading. The text mentioned the APA style of writing several times. In my opinion, it appears to be the most popular style of writing, especially amongst college students. Based on the results of the quizzes, my grammar skills were actually a little better than average. I actually had expected to do better, but I guess my grammar skills are not as good as I thought they were. In any event I feel very confident when it comes to spelling, as I have always been a great speller. Even in grade school, I was a good speller. I learned at a very young age to challenge myself when it comes to spelling. Challenging my-self in that area really paid off as I became older, as I’ve never had a problem with spelling. However, I feel that I need more help with run on sentences and with thought patterns. Though I proof read my paper several times, it’s hard for me to see that I have several run on sentences until after I get my grade back. In general, I feel that my writing is just mediocre. However, I also believe that when it comes to writing, I am my own worst critic. Reason being, I am never...

...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price? According to the U.S Census Bureau, out of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2 billion are smokers of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco. Almost 75% of these 2 billion spend between $1000 - $1500 yearly on their favorite packs and cartons that they just cannot resist. We know its a habit, right? Its also an expensive habit.

A select few smokers of the modern world have been fortunate enough to find the solution to the climbing prices of cigarettes. This solution is actually very simple.

Herein lies the solution; roll your own cigarettes. Most people shy away from such an idea claiming that they would never know where to start, or have no idea where they would buy the equipment, but on contrary the first steps to this new lifestyle are very easy, and the tools needed are readily available. The benefits of rolling your own cigarettes are numerous. First off, its inexpensive.

...Terrica Thomas Mr. David Makhanlall Eng 090 12-11-11 My journey as a writer is when I do my papers I have to make sure that I have the correct grammar and no misspelled words. Because when write you want to make sure that your papers flows and that you stay on topic. Because you as a writer wants the people to understand what they are reading. Because your paper have to have so meaning to it and it have to have some clarity to. When I revise my papers it make me look at the things I done wrong. Like when I have misspelled words I can correct them and when I have sentences that don’t make sense and I take the out. When I write I make the mistake of writing a lot of write on sentences. I have to make sure that I don’t do that anymore. I have to make sure that I don’t forget the punctuations because I have the habit of not putting them where they belong and stuff. When I was writing my paper on my mother I think that I did a good job but I think that I could have writing about her goals in life. What she has done with her life right now and what she wants to do right now. I could have talk a little more about what she has done for me when I was growing up. What she had to do to raise three girls on her own. The pattern of errors that I need to work on is run on sentences. Because when I write I can write a sentence that can go on and on forever without a period. A sentence fragment when I write I tend to write a sentence that don’t make any sense...
