...Christopher 5/13/2014 Professor Doe Eng. 112 What are the effects, and possible consequences of America’s lack of water conservation? Everyone uses water daily, in homes, in businesses, on lawns, and for consumption. Water is an essential part of all of our lives, without it we would not survive. Our water sources however, cannot say the same. Water that was once plentiful is now in short supply and no one ever stops to think why. We just continue to use and use like our water is limitless. We never think as much as we should about the affects we have on our supply of water. What happens if we continue to waste away the most precious resource we have? Allen, L., & Woelfle-Erskine, C. (2011). FROM LAUNDRY TO LANDSCAPE TAP INTO GREYWATER. Mother Earth News, (247), 73-78. Laura Allen and Cleo Woelfle-Erskine in their article “From laundry to landscape tap into grey water” (2011), suggest that the use of grey water is a cost effective conservation method. They support their suggestion by showing examples of grey water methods , concluding that “grey water use lowers your water bill, and diverting grey water from over loaded or failing septic systems can extend their life” (para3). Their purpose is to show effective grey water usage methods in order to provide people with the knowledge to perform the practices at home. They can really connect by teaching their audience, who can be the normal, everyday, anybody, they reach out to not only people under water shortages...

Schultz, D. (2010). Ethics Regulation Across Professions. Public Integrity, 12(2), 161-172. doi:10.2753/PIN1099-9922120204 Gifting, a private act of friendship and charity among individuals that has deep cross-cultural roots, is increasingly seen as a morally problematic practice in many professions. Gifting done within the context of employment is now the subject of regulation in many professions as part of a broader effort to promote independence, impartiality, and objectivity. Based upon a survey of more than twenty professional associations and fields of employment, this commentary examines the historical roots of gifting, why it poses an ethical problem, and how many organizations across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are adopting policies to address this practice. Overall, three conclusions are reached. First, because gifting creates...

The majority of time pregnant women aren’t shackled down unless the prison officials feel that they will harm themselves, or present themselves as a legitimate flight risk. Nine times out of ten when pregnant women enter the criminal justice system they are less likely to receive prenatal care, and are more likely to experience intimate partner violence, poor nutrition, chronic disease, infectious diseases, mental illness, and drug and alcohol abuse. These are all things that could put the fetus at risk when it comes to birth defects and many other potential damages to the child. The reason for shackling incarcerated pregnant women is to prevent them from harming correctional officers, and/or harming themselves. In the event there is an emergency, shackles may cause unnecessary delays in the administration of potentially lifesaving measures. In conclusion, it’s best that pregnant women are on their best behavior while incarcerated, because...

...Chabat, Jorge. “Mexico's War on Drugs: No Margin for Maneuver.” The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, July 2002. Web. Jorge Chabat’s article may have been written well over 10 years ago and though he could not have predicted the harsh aspects of the Mexican clash regarding the drug business, several issues he indicated are still substantial to this day. Chabat begins his article by giving a brief summary of Mexico’s illegal drug trafficking trade. He points out that even though Mexico is not a large buyer in drugs for recreational purposes, it provided nearly 3/4 of marijuana and trafficked 60% of cocaine to the US by the 1980s. Due to huge success with the American market, the Mexican cartels were able to obtain money and along with violence, fight their way to the top. With the newly obtained supremacy, arose corruption within the government. Towards the end of 1990s, it was stated that numerous Mexican state governors were corrupted with reports of high profile cartel prisoners disappearing. Along with the help and pressure from the US, the Mexican government continued their efforts to diminish the illicit drug trade, resulting in arrests of high profile criminals, military and public officials but such efforts were futile. The President Fox continued the efforts after his appointment in 2000, in which resulted in the arrest of the entire staff of attorney general’s office in Chihuahua. Chabot stated several different alternatives for Mexico...

...Manipulation. (n.d.). Retrieved September 8, 2014, from http://www.sec.gov/answers/tmanipul.htm The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) define manipulation as, “Manipulation is intentional conduct designed to deceive investors by controlling or artificially affecting the market for a security. Manipulation can involve a number of techniques to affect the supply of, or demand for, a stock. They include: spreading false or misleading information about a company; improperly limiting the number of publicly-available shares; or rigging quotes, prices or trades to create a false or deceptive picture of the demand for a security. Those who engage in manipulation are subject to various civil and criminal sanctions.” This definition is the foundation of how manipulation of any sort in business is not only unethical, but is also illegal. Following the definition given by the SEC, one can learn about manipulation in business and the problems it can cause. Goldstein, J. (1992).

He mentions that 60% of children drop out of school before they get into high school. He also states the No Child Left Behind act is based not on diversity but conformity. He compared Finland to each state within the America. Finland does not use any standardized testing; yet they are consistently above average. The difference with Finland and any state in America can be summed up by 3 things. 1) America in general or state level does not individualize teaching and learning. 2) America in general or state level does not invest in the teacher.

...Prof. McCart-Brown – Ethics PHI445 Assignment 1- 09/09/2014 Annotated Bibliography Challenges and Barriers Facing Minorities in Librarianship Diversity is an important challenge for the field of librarianship as the profession does not reflect or represent the United States population and the communities served. Many barriers exist with improvement needed in the areas of recruitment and retention, cultural programs, LIS curriculum, and more career advancement opportunities for ethic minority groups. In its 2007 report Diversity Counts, the American Library Association (ALA) stated 86.5% of its membership as Caucasian and that “credentialed and non-credentialed librarians…are predominately….white”. The recent statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau clearly indicate the demographic changes in the nation will continue to impact librarianship. In order for the profession to remain relevant to the communities they serve, more work is needed to bring minorities into the workforce. The references listed are beneficial for those interested to learn more about the challenges facing minorities and some proactive steps to help increase diversity in the profession.

Would your response vary according to type and/or quantity of alcohol being promoted? Subject TBS: MARK 936 Name of Subject: Consumer Behaviour Your student name: Prateek Arora Your student number: 4177794 Date: 27 February 2015 th Word Count: 1506 Introduction: There have been a lot of reports and problems being encountered by the society today due to the use of Alcohol, and these problems are specifically relating to alcohol consumption by young adults. Nevertheless, Castilla et al. (1999) in their study suggests that overall consumption of alcohol may be going down but the problem of excessive consumption of alcohol among young adolescents is increasingly taking place in the society. The promotion of alcohol by its manufacturers and retailers is an important factor as irresponsible drinking among young people makes its way towards anti-social behaviour and health problems. Considering alcohol manufacturing and distribution for retailers being a big business all over the world, it is essential for companies to stay ahead between the competition using innovative marketing strategies and campaigns. “There is an ongoing debate regarding the relationship between advertising and alcohol consumption...

The New York Times, 2013. Web. 6 September 2013. Graham addresses the debate which involves the licensing of home care agencies in the state of California. Unions and organizations that support the elderly take one stand to push for legislation that would license home care agencies and certify its workers. The home care agencies take the other stand in opposing this legislation by means of having to disclose names and the possibility of unaffordable and difficult obtainment of care. This information would be used to address both sides of the argument. It is helpful in not only taking one side of the debate, but both, so that a clear understanding may be presented by Beebe, Deane. “California Bill Requires Licensing and Regulations for Non-Medical Home Care Providers.” 2013.
