...Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, represents a landmark decision made by the United States Supreme court that largely impacted the way American society views for-profit corporations regarding their religious beliefs and liberty, yet also the rights of women. Hobby Lobby operates as an arts and crafts company founded by David Green, and owned by the Evangelical Christian family with approximately 13,000 employees. Under the Affordable Care Act, which relies on the Health Resources and Services Administration, preventive care for women in regards to contraceptives need to be provided in specific employer-based health plans. Yet based off of Green’s religious beliefs, as well as the backing provided by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Hobby Lobby dropped its coverage of specific contraceptives that were deemed “abortifacients”- contraceptives that ultimately aid in abortion. Arguing that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 prohibits the government from substantially burdening a person’s exercise of religion, Hobby Lobby cited their religious freedom under the Free Exercise Clause in the First Amendment, which they believed indicated the right to deny access to these contraceptives (Fung). On the...

...their religious belief? This was the main argument in the supreme court case of Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby. This case rocked the supreme court and our nation as many were very opinionated one way or the other. The complete dynamics of healthcare and religion in business was changed and defined by this case. When Obama passed the American Affordable Care Act businesses had to help pay for their employees’ healthcare, part of this healthcare included contraceptives. Hobby Lobby did not agree with four out of the twenty contraceptives offered. They...

...In past years, religion and the use of contraceptives has been a hot topic. There has been a lot of controversy over whether employers should have to provide contraceptives if they have religious views or not. One case in particular is Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores. Hobby Lobby Stores originally sued Kathleen Sebelius before Sylvia Burwell was confirmed the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Duignan). Hobby Lobby Stores sued them because they felt they should not be forced to provide contraceptives against their religious views. The Green family owns and operates Hobby Lobby Stores under Christian beliefs. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, they must provide certain types of preventative care, including contraceptives which the Green family is against. There are exemptions available, but none are for for-profit institutions. On September 12, 2012, the Greens sued the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, and challenged the contraception requirement (“Burwell”). The regulation required companies with fifty or more employees to provide their employees with coverage of the 20 contraceptive methods. The Green family believed that four of these methods were abortion inducers. Therefore, the Greens believed that this was...

...Case name and citation: Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. 134 S.Ct. 2751 (2014). Facts: Here we have the Green family who operates their business (Hobby Lobby) as a for- profit corporation. As doing so they feel the need to exercise their religion as Christians. So even knowing that they will lose large amounts of financial gains for closing on Sunday they still do to exercise their religion. They include biblical principles in the way that they operate their business. Who later brought action against the Health and Human Services (HHS) and other government officials and agencies, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief regarding regulation under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), based on allegations of being forced to provide health care that covers contraception which violates the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA)....

This idea of storing pictures in a scrapbook has been around for a very along time. Most of the products that are available such as acid and wood-products used in paper can damage the photographs. New technology has come along in recent years that include acid-free paper and has revolutionized the method of preserving photos. Scrapbooking has become a popular hobby and can help to tell a story. Card-making has also become a popular hobby and the same supplies that are used in scrapbooking can also be used in card-making. Imagine the excitement that friends and families have when presented with something homemade such as cards. The Stampin’ Room realizes the frustration when supplies that are needed to create that special scrapbook or card are not readily available.

...Sarah Kate Powell Health 2030- Section 002 Lee Crandall 19 November 2015 The Issues With Individuals In Society Having The Responsibility To Pay For Insurance That Covers The Cost of Contraceptives When It’s Against The Individual’s Personal Or Religious Beliefs Introduction: The term “ethics” can be derived from the Greek term ethos that means habit, custom, disposition or character. Ethics is defined as “a system of moral principals and a branch of philosophy which defines what is good for the individual and society. “ (Ethics, 2014) It is a collection of concepts acquired from philosophies, cultures, and religions. Some of these ethical concepts include the principals of autonomy, beneficence and social justice. Ethics provide a moral pathway in which individuals pick to find their way out of difficult issues. Individuals have many different derived concepts, or moral pathways, controversies that cause ethical dilemmas can become apparent. Such dilemmas can be seen in the health care delivery system of the United States and the policies that are enforced within it. One ethical argument in particular that poses issues and controversy regards society having the responsibility to provide or fund insurance that covers the cost of contraceptives when it is against the individual’s personal or religious beliefs. Ethical Dilemma/ Policy Issue: The term “conscientious objection” is the refusal to perform a legal role or responsibility because of personal beliefs. Conscientious...

... stepped on, feelings would get hurt and sacrifices would happen. The founding fathers didn’t start a revolution to make people happy, they started a revolution because they believed in the idea that everyone had the right to equality. They founded America on the belief that hard work will lead to prosperity in the land of opportunity. All the ideas we associate with America: capitalism, the free market, education, elections, these all came about because people wanted to have power over where their life took them. Being able to make decisions in your own interest: the founding fathers based America on that principal, and they structured the government so it would protect those interests. Today, this is not the case. Although it may appear that America has come a long way since the civil and women’s rights movement, increasing inequality and discrimination in the 21st century has created a democracy that no longer represents the interests of its constituents but its ruling elite. Despite people’s preconceptions that our society represents a shining beacon of equality and fairness, society today faces similar issues to the same one’s we did 50 to 100 years ago. Discrimination still represents a serious issue with regards to an astonishing array of things and staggering economic inequality has devalued the average American’s vote creating a government not based not on a democracy that represents a common...

...by storm, In an environment racked with stress, insecurity, tough decisions and 60-hour weeks, you might expect a resurgence of a management model, based on Machiavelli's Prince, Leonia Helmsley or some other Theory-X icon. Instead, there's a stirring in the opposite direction: A flood of management books, articles and musings that propose the idea of leading from a service perspective; managing from the heart, value-based management, sensitivity and vulnerability.

...Improving Recruitment of Non-traditional Students Introduction The College of Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS) at Friends University offers working and busy adults an attainable way to earn their bachelor’s degrees. Degrees can be earned through accelerated online and evening classes. Since opening in 1985, it has been the largest and most profitable of the three colleges at Friends University. Despite being the most profitable, CAPS has been impacted by a national trend of declining enrollment and increasing skepticism of the value of a postsecondary education. These two issues combined create a large barrier that is not easy to overcome. The recruitment staff for CAPS needs proven tactics to combat the declining trend and skepticism. This paper will detail the research and findings of proven tactics the CAPS recruitment team can use to combat these issues. Background In the past the post-secondary enrollment forecast has been extremely positive. According to the US Census Bureau, between the years 2000 and 2005, college enrollment grew by 15 percent. From 2005 to 2010, it increased another 20 percent. But the growth has come to a standstill. In 2013 enrollment fell yet again by two percent across the board. Because of the demographics served by CAPS, the decline can be contributed to the decrease in college-age population. This can be contributed to the economic recovery. The adults who lost their jobs during the recession or opted out of the unwelcoming job market...

...set up to protect the public from nurses and to regulate the practice of registered nurses. It protects the public by: setting educational standards for RN’s, approving nursing programs, evaluating license applications, issuing and renewing licenses, issuing certificates, taking disciplinary action when needed and managing intervention programs. The BRN assists me by keeping me accountable to the pledge I made as an RN to adhere to my scope of practice and maintaining my continuing education units (BRN, 2016). Professional Nursing Organizations, like the American Nursing Association, act as a voice of a nurse to the public and government. The ANA promotes the rights of nurse’s in the workplace, projects a positive view of nursing and lobbies the congress and other health care industries on behalf of nurses. My membership with the ANA personally is a resource to me for workplace issues that come up and ethical concerns I may have. The ANA offers continuing education units in the form of conferences, seminars and articles. I benefit from the ANA by having comradery with other nurses in the profession (ANA, 2015). B.
