...Come Back to Ethics The election is over and you are declared the winner. Just think to yourself for a moment. What would be your first plan of action, and how could you maintain ethical decision making throughout your entire time in office. Ethics is defined as a set of principles of right conduct. It is also a theory or a system of moral values (Merriman/Webster online dictionary). Government Ethics is often times referred to as an oxy-moron. The reason for this is that our government does not use ethics in their decision making. When did a politician's campaign cash reserves start to be called a "war chest?" It makes you think what kind of attitude goes into making that money and just how its being used. (Heroux, 2011). Money has become the source and the root of all that is evil in American politics. The rulers of this money and the evil are lobbyist. Lobbyist are now running wild in politics. The amount of money involved in lobbying is given for a certain cause if you are for that cause, but it is intimately connected to the issue if you are an opponent of the cause. ( Heroux,2011). Many of our public officials have made it plan through their action that the money of the lobbyist have a bigger meaning to them than the welfare of the people. What has also come about is the fact that many decisions are made along racial lines. Politics in America has always been about race. It started with the writing of the Constitution and the compromises made by the people that...

...A Comeback for the UAW The United Automobile Workers are a strong union of workers that strive to improve the workplace. The union has accomplished many breakthroughs for employees in the workplace. The HRM face many obstacles in the auto industry besides compensation. General Motors can work with its employees to build a better workplace by utilizing the UAW resources and making their company known for employee satisfaction. The UAW is a powerful resource to all of those who chose to join and work together for better conditions for all. The UAW has improved many things in the workplace. They have gained cost of living allowances for the union; training and education as well as employer paid health insurance. It is so strong because it is made up of not only current workers but also those who have retired from their positions. This gives the UAW an advantage of not only having newer members but members who have already been in their position. (Who We Are, 2013) UAW has many accomplishments and because of this many workers will find this an attractive, incentive joining the union. The union can offer the employees a voice to be heard through and they band together for equal treatment. When everyone is fighting for the same rights they are able to accomplish more than one people speaking up themselves. Due to the amount of people that are at the retiring stage in their lives, unionization would help those just entering the workforce without prior knowledge about the industry...

...from Conflict In Futility and Come on, Come back, we see the damaging and horrific results of past wars and future wars. Futility clearly illustrates how war affects the living, how it makes them contemplate life, how it makes you question everything, particularly existence. In Come on, Come back, we see how war devastates the mind, how it leaves people longing for peace and salvation, even if they can’t remember what it is they have done or seen. To begin, Owen uses the structure of Futility to convey a single event and the subsequent thoughts it evokes. He uses the simple sonnet form to find the essence of what a death brings to him – the feeling of utter pointlessness. Even though it is much more brief than Come on, Come back, he emphasises the feelings of emptiness that death can bring. He uses half-rhyme to create a disjointed, unnatural feel that makes the poem feel strange and creates a strange disjointed harmony. It doesn’t quite sound right. This is superbly appropriate for the subject itself. Even though the dead soldier looks as if he is just sleeping, he isn’t. It isn’t quite right. He also builds on the series of questions he asks in the poem to build up to the most profound of all: “Oh what made fatuous sunbeams toil to break earth’s sleep at all?” Here we see how he cannot understand why the universe bothered to raise anything, to build a civilisation, when it is all for nothing. We destroy each other. Although Come on, Come back is a narrative poem, it still...

...questionnaires about how they felt being forced to take time off from their sports. Most of them admitted struggling to fill up this emptiness. Also, one of the biggest concerns were re-injuring themselves when coming back to the sport and being forced to postpone come back for an even longer period of time. However, most of the coaches and teammates were supportive and tried not to rush their players or teammates to come back to the field sooner than expected. Unfortunately, there were a few cases when coaches or teammates felt that they cannot achieve their goals without a player and tried to convince him or her to come back sooner to the sport than expected. In conclusion, everyone is affected differently by a setback and deals with this difficulty individually. Paragraph 2 – your opinion of the author’s point of view or information...

...Analyzing “The Parable of the Prodigal Son” “The Parable of the Prodigal Son” is a well-known story from the Bible, of a disobedient son's return home and his father accepting him back. The father’s older son on the other hand feels differently about his brother’s return. The father then tries to convey to the older son on how he should forgive and that the younger son is still part of the family. This story shows how even when a person sins, as long as you return to the lord he will always forgive you and welcome you into heaven. In the beginning of the parable, the younger son says to his father to give him the inheritance that is to be left to him, this tells us that the family is probably rich. In today's world, the father probably wouldn't give his son his inheritance when he said he wanted to leave. Also if the son was to try to come back, I doubt that the father would even let the son back into the house. Today, if you disrespect your parent like he did a lot of the time your parents will disown you. When the prodigal son went off on his own he started to wander the earth and spent his entire inheritance. After he spent everything that he had, he needed to get a job. He ended up feeding pigs, the absolute worst job you could have at the time. Pigs, at the time, were the lowest of the low, so being the one that tends to them and feeds them, really puts into perspective on just how much he hit rock bottom. He even went so low as to consider actually eating the food...

...it was back in 1961. Computers were not household products back then. If you look in a house today you will see at least one computer in most homes. Not only were computers not household items but flat screen televisions, cable, internet, DVD/Blu-ray player, cell phones, digital cameras/camcorders were not in the homes either. With all these things it’s clear that we have more now than people did fifty years ago and these are only a few examples of what we have now that was not around fifty years ago. Today with the technology we have, we can do more and achieve more than anyone ever did fifty years ago. Advancements in technology that have been made today have made life easier for people than it did for the people in 1961. The cost alone for a computer has dropped thousands of dollars, making it possible for us to have one or more computers in our house instead of not having one at all. In 1961 people didn’t make enough money to have a household computer. The cost of computers were anywhere from five to ten thousand dollars back then. Very few people would have ever been able to afford that. Now computers cost as little as three hundred dollars and they are much better than the computer that were made back then. Computers are not only for our homes though. We now have the technology to use them in our everyday life to make our life easier. We can even do our banking right from out cell phones. In 1961 you would have to take the time to go to the back and do all...
