...| Pearson Waters Inc. | Memo To: | IT Development Department | From: | Donald Foulk | cc: | | Date: | April 1, 2014 | Re: | Unethical Coding Practices | | | Ethical Violations Found During the final stage prior to submitting our application to the client it was discovered that some code, as well as a few of the artwork elements included in the project were utilized without proper permissions from online sources. This required a complete recode to entire portions of the project, as well as to redesign the artwork and visual components. This also required the immediate dismissal of the employees whom perpetrated the violations as is the consequence clearly laid out in the employee handbook which every employee is provided upon their employment. While the client is happy that we identified and resolved the situation prior to providing them with their contracted product, they are understandably less than satisfied due to the delays which this breach caused. Potential effects of this action to Pearson and Watters Inc. could be long lasting. Our very reputation is at stake in any such matter. Not only have we now failed to provide a client with their product in the timeframe which we stated, but that client cannot help but wonder about past and even future projects and whether or not other such breaches were caught. This further effects our company due to having to replace the offending employees rapidly, lost profits due to additional time required to be spent...

...film, a grumpy light house keeper is responsible for maintaining the functionality of the lighthouse. At the point in the time in the movie, the lighthouse keeper decides not to join in the town’s festivities and avoids socializing with the community. While the lighthouse keeper is working on paperwork, the light stops working and the lighthouse goes dark. The importance of the lighthouse is to avoid incoming ships hitting the shore rocks, causing possible loss of the ship, its cargo, and even the passengers on board. As the lighthouse keeper is attempting to fix the light, he further breaks the glass shell of the light beyond repair. A panic comes across the lighthouse keepers eyes as he sees an incoming ship headed straight towards the shore rocks. During this time, the town folk noticed the lighthouse stopped working. They all decided to stop partying and grab a lantern to head to the lighthouse. As the entire town quickly makes their way to the lighthouse with lanterns in hands, they make their way to the top of the lighthouse to provide enough light for the ship to see the rocks and steer clear of danger. Although, the film I chose isn’t a typical corporate organization, I believe it relays an important message. As it may be one person’s responsibility for a specific job duty, it is our social responsibility to help our friends and coworkers in getting the job done if it is needed. Without the assistance of the town, the lighthouse keeper would have not been able...

...The narrative of My Sister’s Keeper alternates between first-person accounts by the novel’s different characters. The bulk of the story takes place in the present, in a one-and-a-half week stretch of time. Sara Fitzgerald, a former attorney and current stay-at-home mom, narrates the remainder of the story from different points in the past but moving gradually toward the present. One final chapter, the epilogue, occurs in the future. In 1990, doctors diagnose Sara’s two-year-old daughter, Kate, with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. The news that their child might die shocks Sara and her firefighter husband, Brian, but Sara immediately resolves to begin Kate on treatment. Kate starts chemotherapy, and her oncologist, Dr. Chance, suggests she might eventually need a bone marrow transplant, preferably from a related donor. The Fitzgeralds test their four-year-old son, Jesse, but he is not a match. Dr. Chance mentions that another unborn sibling could be a match, and Sara suggests to Brian that they have another child. Sara’s passages, told at different points over the next fourteen years, focus largely on Kate’s struggles. She describes how scientists help them conceive another daughter, Anna, who is a perfect genetic match for Kate. Over the course of the next few years, Anna undergoes several procedures, including frequent blood withdrawals and a painful bone marrow extraction, to help keep Kate alive. Sara describes in great detail the pain and suffering Kate endures. Chemotherapy...

...04.07 Drafting Your Argument BAN ON SODA? What would a life be like without a loved one? That sad feeling is how many Americans feel on the ban on soda in New York City. If the soda ban becomes effective many individuals will become as angry. They will question why the law got through and be allowed to hurt the soda industry. The first issue with the soda ban is that many people don’t like being told what to do. If certain people don’t want to drink soda then they don’t have to, but they also should never let the conflicting feelings about soda get in the way of others feelings. By bringing about a soda ban it will be as dangerous as opening Pandora’s box to the world. A study conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center,...

...My Sister's Keeper tells the story of 13-year-old Anna Fitzgerald who sues her parents for medical emancipation. They expect her to give up one of her kidneys for her older sister Kate, who has had leukemia since she was 2 years old. Her parents conceived Anna because they needed a donor of umbilical chord blood to keep Kate alive, and since then Anna has donated bone marrow and stem cells to Kate when she relapsed. But now she no longer wants to continue being used as an organ bank for her sister, and her only resort is the law. She does her research and then goes to a lawyer, Campbell Alexander, who has had some notable successes representing children in courts. Alexander goes around with a service dog, but he is not blind, deaf, or physically disabled, and he won't tell anyone what the dog is for. When Anna asks why he has the dog, called Judge, he wisecracks that he has an iron lung and the dog keeps him away from magnets. The novel takes the reader through the lawsuit, told from the points of view of each of the major characters, Anna, Kate, their brother Jessie, their parents Sarah and Brian, Campbell, and Anna's guardian ad litem, Julia, who turns out to have been Campbell's college girlfriend. On the audiobook, each character's portions is narrated by a different performer, which enhances the sense that these are genuinely different perspectives. The reader comes to understand the quandaries faced by Anna's parents, who love all their children but are forced...

...My Sister’s Keeper – Jodi Picoult Where is the line with choices? How is a decision determined to be right or wrong? These are some of the questions that summarize the concept of the book My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Anna, the protagonist, files a law suit against her parents, Brian and Sara, because they forced her to make medical decisions that were not her own. Anna is sympathetic with her sister’s condition and has given all she can to ensure Kate’s recovery from leukemia. Yet the discovery of the purpose of her being conceived through vitro fertilization was for the intention to possible spare Kate’s life. Anna claims that her parents’ (Sara and Brian Fitzgerald) push for her to donate her kidney unwillingly is an infringement of her “right to life”. She also claims that she is being denied the right to make decisions as regards her own body. While Anna believes that such an action would be very wrong, her parents emphasize that it is the right decision if saving Kate’s life is the ultimate goal. This book covers this life of this family during the trial period. It focuses on the tension that the family undergoes in a bid to keep one of them Kate, alive. The emotional tenacity of this book brings a different notion of health communication. An analysis of the events in this novel reveals that indeed right and wrong is subjective. This paper examines the different characters and events in My Sister’s Keeper and tries to analyze the theme of what choices are right...

...Bethany Gavins A&P Mr. Schroeder My Sister’s Keeper When an individual is affected by an illness and death, the people that know the individual, usually the family, are affected, too. In My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult, Kate Fitzgerald is diagnosed with Leukemia, which affects every member of her family. The Kubler-Ross’ cycle of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance explains how each family member deals with Kate’s death and grief. Each member has a different way of dealing with Kate’s death. A chronic illness doesn’t affect just the person who has it, but also the people around the person. The Fitzgerald’s are all devastated and are full of grief throughout Kate’s struggle and death from Leukemia. The main character, Anna Fitzgerald, shows her acceptance of the Kubler-Ross cycle.

Anna feels like winning the case will make her parents realize that Anna, too, has a right to live a normal life with a normal childhood. She’s accepted that Kate will soon die and doesn’t want to see Kate suffer any longer. Anna also feels that she’s doing Kate a favor...

...In My Sister’s Keeper, Jodi Picoult tells the story of a family who is faced with a tragedy and in turn creates an ethical dilemma without even realizing it. Brian and Sarah Fitzgerald don’t think they will have any more children after Jesse and Kate, but when Kate is diagnosed with leukemia ideas of having another child spark in the minds of the Fitzgeralds. Although one might think the Fitzgeralds would have another child to replace the one they may lose, their plan is to use the child to keep Kate alive. The Fitzgeralds have a doctor genetically select an embryo as a perfect match for Kate and a short nine months later Anna is born so she can be used as “spare parts” every time Kate’s organs fail. The most important issue presented in this book is the fact that Anna was created for the sole purpose of keeping her sister alive. Not only was Anna born for an unethical reason, but she is forced by her parents to undergo the many and sometimes painful medical procedures required to keep Kate alive. The dispute between Anna and her mother, Sarah, portrays this issue best in the book. When Anna becomes old enough to stand up to her parents, she tells them she doesn’t want to donate anymore and fights them in a legal battle for “medical emancipation”. If Anna is granted medical emancipation from her parents so she wouldn’t have to donate anymore, but Kate would die. Sarah makes her decisions with the best intentions, but sometimes the decisions she makes favor Kate more than they...

...National Book Store's success. Through the hard work and powerful leadership of Socorro Cancio-Ramos and the late Jose Ramos with their family, the company has evolved from its humble beginnings into the biggest and strongest bookstore chain in the Philippines. The first National Book Store started as a stall shop in Escolta before the Japanese occupation selling supplies, GI novels, and textbooks. When war broke out, strict book censorship forced them to shift their trade to soap, candies, and slippers. They bought their merchandise from wholesalers and peddled them to smaller retailers. Liberation came, but the whole Escolta area was burned to the ground. Having all their stocks reduced to ashes left the couple with nothing but determination and an undying drive to succeed. And their persistence paid off. They were able to rebuild a barong-barong in the corner of Soler and Avenida Rizal in time to catch the post-war business boom. They went back to business using their door as a counter for selling textbooks, notebooks, pad paper, and pencils. Business went very well because during that time, there were only a few stores that sold school supplies and books. National Book Store's opening was strategically timed to welcome the first postwar school year. 1948 brought another trial to the Ramos' life. Typhoon Gene destroyed their store and soaked all the merchandise. But this did not dampen the spirit and tenacity of the couple to pursue their dream and rebuild National Book Store...
