...The chivalry thesis has attempted to explain why gender differences occur in crime, but to what extent, is the question that will be answered within this essay. This will be done by also assessing the value of other theories and arguments in order to see how useful the chivalry thesis is in understanding gender differences. The chivalry thesis suggests that more sexism on the part of the criminal justice system, such as the male-dominated police and courts, means that women are treated more leniently than men. There is much evidence for the chivalry thesis, for example according to the Home Office, women are consistently treated less severely by the law, with first offenders about half as likely to be given a sentence of immediate imprisonment than males are. In addition, female offenders are generally regarded by the police as a less serious threat than men, and are therefore more likely to benefit from more informal approaches to their offences, particularly for minor offences, such as cautions or warnings rather than being charged. In addition, women do receive more cautions than men, but this is partly because they commit relatively more minor offences like shoplifting, and they are more likely than men to admit their offences, which is necessary before the police can issue a caution. As a result, the criminal justice system will appreciate their honesty and let them off with lighter punishments. Hence, showing how the chivalry thesis can be useful in explaining gender...

...Style and Substance/Joseph Couch 1 Introduction Academic Writing with Style and Substance Offering Opinions and Exchanging Ideas Understanding the Difference Much writing on the Internet, for high school, and for general purposes contains the personal opinions of writers. As a result, some of the phrases below are very common in these writing situations: “To me,” “I think” “Personally,” “For me,” “It is this writer’s opinion” Style and Substance/Joseph Couch 2 While everyone has a right to a personal opinion, relying on opinion in college writing usually means hiding behind that right rather than facing the fact that others can question a writer’s ideas. As a result, the common defense of “that’s my opinion” does not matter much as a reason to support an essay’s ideas. What does matter for a class that requires a textbook such as this one is writing that shows critical thought and (often) outside research. The first step towards writing with these qualities is an understanding that it does not stand alone as an opinion. In fact, college-level writing acknowledges and engages with the ideas of others who have also often done some critical thinking and outside research on the topic. Essentially, college professors want essays that exchange ideas with other readers and writers rather than present ideas on the level of opinions. This is not to say that a student’s ideas do not count in college writing. The process to a completed paper does often begin with one’s own...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1: Introduction /Background Day by day business world is becoming more competitive, its environment changes rapidly and the introduction of new technologies and techniques make it even a worse scenario for the organizations in order to survive. These challenges compel organizations to have more motivated workforce in order to stay in the competition and to face the challenges successfully. Organization needs the employees more than ever to produce outstanding result and maximize their effectiveness and efficiency. Organizations have realized that to motivate their employees they have to introduce reward system. A system where these organizations appreciate the performance of their employees and encourage them toward more quality work. Organizations have relies that it is not the punitive actions for bad performance which will bring the motivated employees but this reward system will do. This new thinking is driving away the organizations from “command and control” approach towards the “advice and consent” to motivate their employees. Analyzing the factors that affect job satisfaction, motivation and employee performance Agency theory could be helpful. Agency theory indicates the limits to which the organizations can hold their employees responsible for the organization performance. Agency theory can be use to solve the problems arise under conditions of incomplete and asymmetric information when a principal hires an agent. According to the agency...

According to Edwards (2007) nowadays in organizations motivation is treated like catalyst for getting competitive edge over rivals. By Jaffery (2009) a strong relationship exists between motivation and job performance. In view of Halverson (2005) motivation acts like oxygen for organizations and it is of huge importance especially in such business (services) where workers have direct link with consumers as in food business.

The paper will also end with an essay three thesis that highlights on what has been learnt from Toughs main claims. According to Tough on college conundrum, it is seen that the majority of the children from poor families do struggle in getting education as compared to those in the rich families. It is clear that “over the past few decades, it has become evident that the United States does not so much have an issue of restricted as well as uneven college admittance. It has a challenge of incomplete and lopsided college achievement (Tough, p. 150).” Concerning this it is clear that the United States does not concentrate on one background when it comes to ones college admission. They say that the most challenging fact presently is the non-fulfilling college accomplishment. Therefore, it can be pointed out that the college conundrum as stated means that the majority of the grades tend to show more than the mystery content. They say that this discloses characters of motivation, determination as well as the availability of good study habits and time management techniques that inform us about the great pact that a scholar will finish a college program. This is slightly different than the achievement gap since people in life are graded by their academic qualifications. They say that “an ACT preparation...

...ABSTRACT An active, well-informed, well-trained Board of Directors (BOD) is absolutely essential to the success of the organization. The BOD for this organization is not unlike any other not-for-profit boards with less than 10 years in age. The boards of these organizations sometimes consist of inexperienced and unknowledgeable management professionals. New board members are excited to make good decisions and evoke proper change within the organization. They soon find out change is not quick and results aren’t seen over night. Due to this reality board members with tenure can become complacent and thereby miss opportunities for organizational growth. This can create barriers to performance for young board members and old board members alike. This paper argues the necessity of continual board development using assessment methodologies. It takes into consideration current knowledge on why and how development can detour ineffective job performance amongst board participants. This paper creates a possible framework for BOD development in non-profits. OUTLINE Introduction and Overview 4 Evidence or Support Statements 5 Warrants 6 Counterclaim Statement 7 Rebuttal Statement 8 Conclusion Statement 9 References 11 Introduction and Overview Board members are a significant asset to organizations. They make decisions based on strategic need and corporate responsibility. Rarely though do new members arrive on the board with years of experience in the nonprofit sector...
