...Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt state that the use of trigger warnings on college campuses are having unintended consequences. A trigger warning is used by a professor to notify students when they are about to discuss material that has the potential to be upsetting or offensive. Lukianoff and Haidt believe that these trigger warnings have been put in place to appease the student’s demands for a safe space where they can learn. The article opens by stating. “a movement is arising, undirected, and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that may cause discomfort or give offense.” The authors argue that this movement stems from a generation that feels entitled to the right to not be offended. This has led to a social environment where professors and students alike feel fearful to speak their mind freely. The trigger warnings these professors are using exasperate the current atmosphere of extreme political correctness. In the view of Lukianoff and Haidt, these trigger warnings are gasoline on the fire. Their claim is that the warnings lead to unforeseen consequences. The warnings lead to the censorship of controversial or challenging ideas. Due to this fact, this generation of students are graduating college ill prepared for the real world. To even further their claim, Lukianoff and Haidt state that trigger warnings lead to increased anxiety and mental illness. The author’s write about how simply...

...flcfReflection Paper #1 Inez Burrell March 19, 2013 The Experiential Learning Activity served as a significant tool to put the process of conflict mapping into perspective. Conflict mapping is a type of model that simplifies a complex social conflict such as the ones taking place in Voinjama, Liberia. It emphasizes the most important elements and systematically asks questions about issues, parties, strategies, and key components. When developing a conflict map, it is also important to focus on the parties’ grievances, trigger events, and root causes of the conflict. Although conflict mapping is used to facilitate the analysis of the conflict, it can actually make the process harder since there are so many possible answers. Each person analyzing the conflict may have different viewpoints for the components that make up that specific conflict as a whole. There are no right or wrong answers because each idea could be vital in solving the specific problems in that conflict. The reality of this became applicable during the Experiential Learning Activity because each group felt differently about the specific issues going on in Liberia. During the Experiential Learning Activity, the class was split into teams in order to analyze the conflict through the use of conflict mapping. As a group, it was decided that the parties involved in the conflict were the Mandingo and Loma. However, looking at the conflict in a broader sense it was decided...

...I agree with Fred’s decision to use a thrid party vendor to conduct the training for the hardware store. Training activities need to be aligned with the organization’s strategy to be effective (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010). Persons of leadership should determine the strategy but they should not rule out the input that could be beneficial from lower level employees. The management team met and discussed its strategic response and determined that the hardware store would focus on particular items and make personalized service the cornerstone of its effort (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010). Now that the target training areas are identified you can determine who will be doing the training and using what strategy. Fred decided to use an outsourcing strategy. This strategy employs outside training vendors for all, or almost all, training activities and provides a flexible way of meeting changing and diverse training needs with professionally developed and administered programs. (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010). It is imperative to isolate who needs to be trained and who will be doing the training. Key things when finding a trainer is to find out their background, work experience, clients, customers, etc. To be effective, the training process is not as easy as it comes across. There are many strategies and concepts at your disposal but the challenging part is deciding which one to use. In this case it was deciding the best training package to utilize. Before choosing a training package...

...10. TAKEHARU ISHIMOTO Representative Music: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII; The World Ends With You; Final Fantasy: Dissidia Takeharu Ishimoto starts off our list of great composers. His talent for creating original and eclectic pieces is impressive to say the least. His score for The World Ends With You exposes his genius for variety, with songs like "Long Dream," "Calling," and "Fighting For Freedom," funky, urban pieces that mix rock, rap, and dance beats. In contrast to this his work for Crisis Core is darker and more pensive, showcasing pieces like the acoustic "Under an Apple Tree," and the jammin' "Wandering in a Sunny Afternoon." And let's not forget his theme for Final Fantasy: Dissidia, an orchestrated bonanza or winds, percussions and brass. To be that diverse is impressive indeed. 9. YOKO SHIMOMURA Representative Music: Kingdom Hearts series; Parasite Eve; Legend of Mana Yoko Shimomura is the lone woman on this list, beating out the likes of talented lady composers like Michiko Naruke (Wild Arms)and Chikayo Fukuda (.hack//G.U.) for a top spot. It's a testament to her talent that she can hang with the guys. Her style can range from melancholy to intense, from soft piano to rocking guitar. Songs like "Dearly Beloved" and "Night of Fate" from Kingdom Hearts have become fan favorites in the JRPG world, and many still remember the riveting "Arise Within You" and "Under the Progress" from Parasite Eve. Her music is definitely worth checking out. 8. MASAHI HAMAUZU ...

...Fibromyalgia [pic] Exercise for Special Populations February 17, 2012 Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain and fatigue. It affects approximately 2% of the population, and is more common in women than in men. Central nervous system sensitization affects the entire body, leading to many secondary symptoms. This paper will cover the history, symptoms, and causes of FMS as well as known treatments and exercise prescription for the syndrome. Fibromyalgia has been described as a full-body migraine. Another common explanation is to compare everyday life with FMS as being similar to the aches and pains associated with a severe case of the flu. FMS patients experience intermittent flares, which are episodes of increased symptoms. Flares usually occur in response to physical or emotional stress, a schedule change, an illness or injury, a new job, the birth of a child, etc. While fibromyalgia is not considered a degenerative disorder, its symptoms usually become more severe if the patient also has a degenerative disorder such as arthritis. First, a patient must have experienced continuous pain in all four quadrants of the body for at least three months (Wolfe et al., 1990). Doctors will usually order many tests in order to rule out other conditions that might be confused with fibromyalgia. The key diagnostic tool for FMS is the tender point exam. No more than...

...Internal Report To: Date: 2012. From: Introduction Company name has experienced a bout of rapid growth recently due to the success of various projects and securing Contracts. Due to the growth within the organisation over the last 12 months, I predict that current absence monitoring procedures and policies need to be introduced or in some cases simply enforced as I suspect the absence costs are rising, where financial savings can easily be made, along with improvements for our employees regarding how their absence is being managed from their line managers. How I collated and analysed my data See below chart: By obtaining staff figures, per department (total employed and absence) for the past two years I was able to total these and compare each year, I was then able to identify how the absence rates have changed. As you can see, the absence has risen by over 50%, within my findings I will explain why I believe this increase has occurred and what procedures can be implemented to improve them.

...Chapter 7 For this assignment, we will create and use a database for the Wedgewood Pacific Corporation (WPC), which is located in two buildings. One building houses the Administration, Accounting, Finance, and Human Resources departments, and the second houses the Production, Marketing, and Information Systems departments. The company database contains data about employees; departments; projects; assets, such as computer equipment; and other aspects of company operations. The database will be named WPC and will contain the following four tables: DEPARTMENT (DepartmentName, BudgetCode, OfficeNumber, Phone) EMPLOYEE (EmployeeNumber, FirstName, LastName, Department, Phone, Email) PROJECT (ProjectID, Name, Department, MaxHours, StartDate, EndDate) ASSIGNMENT (ProjectID, EmployeeNumber, HoursWorked) EmployeeNumber is a surrogate key that starts at 1 and increments y 1. ProjectID is a surrogate key that starts at 1000 and increases by 100. DepartmentName is the text name of the department, and is therefore not a surrogate key. The WPC database has the following referential integrity constraints: Department in EMPLOYEE must exist in Department in DEPARTMENT Department in PROJECT must exist in Department in DEPARTMENT ProjectID in ASSIGNMENT must exist in ProjectID in PROJECT EmployeeNumber in ASSIGNMENT must exist in EmployeeNumber in EMPLOYEE The relationship from EMPLOYEE to ASSIGNMENT is 1:N, M-O and the relationship from PROJECT to ASSIGNMENT is 1:N, M-O.
