...Research Paper on John Rawls Roy Love Pol 462-01 Dr. Rose Tuesday, April 17, 2012 INTRODUCTION The philosopher and political thinker that I am doing my research paper on is John Rawls. John Rawls is world renowned as an American philosopher and a leading figure in moral and political philosophy. He was a student, professor, and an icon that achieved kleos apthiton to the highest regard. Mr. Rawls worked on many projects and wrote many books that we still use and reference today. Some of his works include: Justice as Fairness (2001), A Theory of Justice (1971), Political Liberalism (1993), and The Law of Peoples (1999). The most famous and influential work was the Theory of Justice, which was one of his first pieces of work; many say that book was his masterpiece. His work was so famous with the millions that read his work, that his work was nicknamed ‘Rawlsianism’. His work has been echoed through the ages and is quoted without people knowing who they are quoting. For example, the term veil of ignorance is used to describe the morality of an issue, like slavery. I have heard professors and others use that term without ever knowing where it came from. John Rawls has been the receipted of many awards, and according to the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton, he helped a whole generation of learned Americans revive their faith in democracy itself (B. Clinton 1999). One of his famous students, Samuel Freeman, wrote a book in 2007 that will show some insight on...

...Business Research Paper Oprah Gail Winfrey is one of the richest entrepreneurs in the world and is a woman of inspiration, leadership, power, and most of all business. Oprah was born on January 29, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Oprah is the daughter of a sailor and barber, Vernon Winfrey, and maid and dietician, Vernita Lee. Oprah was raised by her grandmother as a child and then was caught between her mother and father as she got older. Her father was a man who cared deeply about Oprah even though he might not have been her biological father, but in her heart her daddy was home. As a child Oprah was exposed to reading and she quickly grew a love for books and it became her way to cope with a difficult life that was still ahead of her. During the time she was back and forth between her parents Oprah was raped as a teen, and at the age of 14 she became pregnant not knowing who the father was, the baby was stillborn. Her father quickly came to the rescue, took her in and made sure she knew just how much he meant to her and he didn’t let go. Oprah claims her father saved her life. With the past left behind and the best yet to come, Winfrey signed up for the local beauty pageant, Miss Nashville, in 1971 and she won. All the locals knew Oprah Winfrey, and this led her to her first job. WVOL, the local radio station gave Oprah her first break reading news. She then took a job as an anchor for Nashville’s WTVF-TV and sooner or later the world needed to know who she...

Description of activity and assessment: Since the intent of the unit is to assess writing standards, I know that they needed to provide a well-written product. In this case, I would still provide them with some choice. Additionally, the standards I chose had to do with evidence, and so they needed to do research, cite evidence, and make sure that it aligned to their ideas in their written product, a common, standards-aligned rubric that would be used to assess all the products to ensure that all students were meeting the same outcomes.

...March 2, 2013 – The Everglades Flood Control and Restoration: A Century of Disaster OUTLINE ABSTRACT ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Before drainage of the Everglades began over a century ago, the wetlands of southern Florida were an interconnected hydrological assortment of lavish freshwater lakes and streams, cypress swamps, secluded estuarine lagoons, freshwater sloughs, tree islands, wet prairies, and mangrove swamps spanning 3.6 million hectares. After a century of intrusion, the daunting task of understanding, fixing, maintaining, and regaining a sustainable, natural Everglades-type ecosystem in South Florida is monumental. The area south of Lake Okeechobee now has a human population of over four million people, with greedy agricultural and urban demands for more water and more space. Therefore, several uphill battles have ensued. The conceptual plans for restoring this ecosystem, currently on record, are all extremely expensive to implement. A more thorough definition of the environmental and societal objectives and measures of success are required. How the ecosystem will respond to the return of a more natural hydrological pattern is uncertain, but needs to be addressed as the expected and desired outcome through measures of performance. The critical level of deterioration of the Everglades has created a crisis-management atmosphere instead of a full spectrum response and future prevention methodology. The political and social aspects of the Everglades...

...their parents or caretakers (U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1995). Abuse and neglect in the home are considered one of the leading causes of death for children four years of age and younger and the largest number of child abuse fatalities is due to severe head trauma. Homicide statistics are only part of the grim reality, with near–fatal abuse and neglect accounting for more than 18,000 permanently disabled children, and approximately 142,000 serious injuries (Baladerian, 1991). Findings from the report, A Nation’s Shame: Fatal Child Abuse and Neglect in the United States, indicate that African Americans are overrepresented in both fatalities and near–fatal injuries (U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1995). Research shows that child deaths from physical trauma are most frequently caused by angry, out–of–control males. Mothers are more likely to be responsible for deaths caused by severe neglect (U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1995). However, researchers 31 cannot account for the large numbers of cases of homicide against African American children. Data on the types of abuse by ethnic groups are...

...ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR Introduction Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations. It does this by taking a system approach. That is, it interprets people-organization relationships in terms of the whole person, whole group, whole organization, and whole social system. Its purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human objectives, organizational objectives, and social objectives. As you can see from the definition above, organizational behavior encompasses a wide range of topics, such as human behavior, change, leadership, teams, etc. Since many of these topics are covered elsewhere in the leadership guide, this paper will focus on a few parts of OB: elements, models, social systems, OD, work life, action learning, and change. Elements of Organizational Behavior The organization's base rests on management's philosophy, values, vision and goals. This in turn drives the organizational culture which is composed of the formal organization, informal organization, and the social environment. The culture determines the type of leadership, communication, and group dynamics within the organization. The workers perceive this as the quality of work life which directs their degree of motivation. The final outcome are performance, individual satisfaction, and personal growth and development. All these elements combine to build the model or framework that the organization operates...

...MANAGING CRIME AND QUALITY OF LIFE USING COMPSTAT: SPECIFIC ISSUES IN IMPLEMENTATION AND PRACTICE By Dr. Vincent E. Henry* I. INTRODUCTION The highly effective management model or paradigm that has come to be known as Compstat was first developed within the New York Police Department in 1994 as a process for managing crime and quality of life in New York City. Compstat was developed in response to a very specific set of immediate needs confronting the NYPD at that time: the compelling need to bring spiralling rates of crime and disorder to within manageable bounds and to refocus the NYPD on its primary mission of effectively ensuring public safety by reducing crime and violence. Since its introduction in early 1994, Compstat has proven to be highly effective in achieving the goals for which it was initially intended. Over time it has also evolved and grown from a basic and fairly rudimentary process involving the collection and analysis of crime data as well as a mechanism for ensuring accountability and information-sharing into a more complex, more nuanced, and eminently more effective management paradigm. As Compstat grew and changed over time, so too did the issues and problems challenging the NYPD. As crime and public disorder offences declined to within more manageable limits, the agency had the luxury of turning its attention to a range of other management problems and issues. While reducing crime and disorder and increasing public safety have never lost their prominence...
