...pled not guilty to the charges. The Lieutenant was apologetic for his misconduct towards the Appellant. The Appellant was convicted on disrespect to a superior officer and assault. He was sentenced to a bad conduct discharge, confinement at hard labor for one year, forfeiture of all pay, and a grade reduction. This case and conviction went before the United States Army of Military Review December 23, 1970. During the trial evidence produced involved the Lieutenant addressing the Appellant and provoking him by using the derogatory term “boy.” The Court held that the misconduct regarding the Lieutenants communication with the Appellant divested the Lieutenant of his authority as a superior in regards to the offenses committed by the subordinate as shown in United States v. Revels, 41 CMR 475 (1969). In regards to the Revels case, the court dismissed the disrespect charge and part of the assault charge in regards to “assault upon a superior officer”, while affirming the assault charges. The Judge found that the Lieutenant’s conduct fell below the standards of a soldier, and divested himself therefore he did not have the special protection offered to superior officers by Congress. The United States Army Court of Military Review affirmed Appellant Johnson’s conviction for the assault charge and dismissed the guilty charge of disrespect towards a superior officer. Issues: Issue 1: Whether the Court of Military Review judge ruled in error by utilizing the divestiture defense...

...Just because you can do something, does not ever mean it is always morally right or respectable to do. Just to show such disrespect to all Americans and to the nation itself is very morally wrong. When Americans stand for the National Anthem it is a unifying event that brings all of us together no matter the race or ethnicity, and even helps us strive to where we all should be, which is equal no matter man or woman, black or white, it does not matter, just Americans. As Americans we should stand during the National Anthem no matter what, because it brings all of us together and should not divide...

...“Respect others if you would have others respect you” This, written by Baltasar Gracian, is reflecting that if we want to be respected then we have to learn to respect. Disrespect is lack of respect or disregarding someone. Most disrespect you may see will come from children. At their age it is easier to influence them in a negative way rather than adults. Things such as music, television, and social media are known to be a part of this. Research states it is very common for an adolescent to disrespect adults. It is often provoked by increased stress, depression, or violent feelings. One factor you will see is the lack of discipline. Growing up and learning about what’s wrong and what’s right is a crucial part of one’s life. Without discipline, people can grow up thinking they can do what pleases them and not get in trouble. That can include talking in a vulgar way, physical abuse and crime. Music can influence in multiple ways. The most direct way is the lyrics of the song. Sometimes a song will mention things such as beating up parents, allowing people to think this is acceptable. Another way is the artist themselves. Sometimes they will want to act just like their favorite artist. Sometimes that certain artist will be seen getting arrested or doing drugs and their fans will want to act in the same manner. It can take a post on social media, or an article in the news about the artist. Aside from the music, television may also have an effect on the child’s behavior. Certain...

...It is often said that when you kneel during the national anthem, it shows disrespect. The disrespect is seen because the flag stands for the people who have fought and are fighting for our freedom. In discussions of the kneel, one controversial issue has been that kneeling during the anthem is to protest. My own view is that the players should not be able to do it because it shows disrespect to the people who have died and are fighting for our country. Therefore, our flag represents our freedom and the right to declare our liberties. The flag should be respected by the people and the players. However, the kneel argues for racial injustice and police brutality. The players kneeling is not intentionally showing disrespect, but they are taking a stand to protest for a common thing that nobody else sees. Everybody has a right to what they protest, and the public and social media mesmerized it into something that it was not. Although I agree with the kneel that it is for a political protest, I cannot accept the kneel during a football game. The flag is for people to stand and join to give respect to the soldiers who fight for our right to live in our country. Our flag is more than just polyester, and cotton put together, it stands for something much more....

...Have you ever talked about so one? I have I’m not going to lie. But how did you feel after you had talked about that person because I felt bad about it. Like really bad most of the time that I ever was talking about some I was at school. I know that everyone in here has been to school before. Sitting in that class room all day and it’s that one person who makes the whole class laugh. Maybe that person is you? But the fact is that your laughing he’s laughing the whole the class, laughing. Have you ever really listened to what that person was saying….? Is what their saying hurtful or disrespectful in any way, and if it is then why are you laughing. Disrespect is no laughing matter, but still we laugh. Thus my thesis is disrespect and how it affects people. People are disrespected every day and it needs to stop for a lot of reasons. A lot of people think that only adults can be disrespected but that is not true children or teens can be disrespected to. I was once disrespected; let me tell you all about it. When I was in the 7th grade I rode the school bus like most people did. I had a bus driver and fellow bus riders everything here appears normal, does it not? Well it was not normal far for it was the day that I meet the evil bus driver. The first time that I saw her she stare at me so hard and I know that y’all know what I talking about like so hard that she looked like her I balls were going to pop right out of her head.

...Classroom discipline is when the teacher has the ability to discipline the students because of their behaviour and teach in a way that students can learn in an effective way, it is also being able to deal and help students who are facing problems that are affecting their school work. In this essay I will state disciplinary scenarios in classrooms and strategies on how to deal and solve these problems, such as disrespectful students, the non-stop talkers, the cheaters and careless students. . The disrespectful student One of the biggest classroom management mistakes teachers can make is allowing the disrespect from students and taking them personal. There are students who have little respect for teachers and classrooms which disrupt the entire lesson planned for that day. For example when a teacher starts a lesson and a learn stands up or talks without permission or the learner disrespects the teacher’s rules and back chats or responds with an unacceptable attitude. When teachers allow that kind of behaviour it shows that the students can push their luck and have no teaching take place. When coming across such behaviour one needs to stand firm and take no nonsense from the student, approach the...

...Joseph Grenny, Ramón Lavandero, and Linda Groah Silence Kills was conducted immediately before AACN’s national standards for healthy work environments were released10. It identified seven concerns that often go undiscussed and contribute to avoidable medical errors. It linked the ability of health professionals to discuss emotionally and politically risky topics in a healthcare setting to key results like patient safety, quality of care, and nursing turnover, among others. The Silent Treatment shows how nurses’ failure to speak up when risks are known undermines the effectiveness of current safety tools. It then focuses on three specific concerns that often result in a decision to not speak up: dangerous shortcuts, incompetence, and disrespect. The Silent Treatment tracks the frequency and impact of these communication breakdowns, then uses a blend of quantitative and qualitative data to determine actions that individuals and organizations can take to resolve avoidable breakdowns. Imagine you are a nurse who has been given a set of new safety tools that warns you whenever your patients are in danger. That would be powerful, life-saving information, right? But what if nobody listened to you or heeded your warnings? This kind of breakdown is happening in hospitals every day. The quote below is one of 681 collected in the course of this research. “I think nearly every day we are faced with the hand-off allergy list. Frequently, the surgeons will order an antibiotic the patient...

...The National Anthem represents our freedom in this nation and also the people who fight for our country, in addition people should not let their beliefs interfere with the Anthem. For example, these people are protesting during the anthem, however the National Anthem still represents freedom and this country still holds that up. As shown in the selection “After Trump Blasts N.F.L.” the authors state “Don’t appled teams and players who don’t respect the anthem, they can exercise their beliefs a different way.”(qtd. in Hoffman, Mather, & Fortin). This shows how players should find a solution to solve their racism issue and not disrespect others and the flag for that reason. Due to this that may lead to fans and sports media to protest their own beliefs in problems they have in this nation. However, players and people are continuing to follow others who are protesting against racism, for their beliefs that they are not treated as equal to as others and will continue to stand up for their...

...The play Antigone is a tragic story. It is a story of a stubborn king who who values his laws over that of the gods. Creon, the stubborn king, is the tragic hero of the story, opposite of the titular character Antigone. For his actions he loses all of his family. His son and his wife. His son not only acting as reason of his tragicness, but also as a foil for his unreasonableness, anger, and disrespect. Haemon serves as a foil for Creon's character by highlighting his unreasonableness, anger, and disrespect. Haemon, as opposed to his father, was understanding of the situation and understanding of him, exclamating his full respect for him. "Father, I’m yours. For me your judgments and the ways you act on them are good— I shall follow them. I’ll not consider any marriage a greater benefit than your fine leadership." (Line 720-724) Nonetheless, Creon was blinded by his anger. His undesirable traits were made extremely evident during his exchange with Haemon. Whilst Haemon maintained his calm demeanor, Creon...

... from people who has seen or experienced racial injustice and protest America in some way. For example Kaepernick doesn’t stand during the national anthem, because of the racial injustice that has happened to this country. Protesting a national symbol can both be patriotic and not from people’s point of view, but I can see protesting a little more patriotic. Yes, it can also not be a patriotic thing that people should do always, since most veterans sees this as a disrespectful since they serve for everyone in this country. There are a few people who see protesting as a big disrespect to the flag.“National symbols deserve respect not because they are static representations of unchanging ideals, but because they offer a focal point for diverse societies to express and navigate what it is that unites and represents them.” (Cynthia...

...Great Gatsby Essay Test Prompt 1 Judgement is an action that has its moral degradations when used incorrectly. In fact, it is almost impossible to use judgement and be a human being that has good moral standing. Past has proven with bullies that judgement has led to suicide in peoples lives and hence is frowned upon. However, time after time people judge others with haste and make them feel that their actions are incorrect. A big question is whether to judge or not because if people aren’t judged on something they do that is incorrect they very well may end up doing it again. Nick Carraway, a character in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a person who claims to not judge others. His remarkable ability to not place his judgement on others leads him to extraordinary circumstances because of the resulting friendships. Throughout the whole novel, Nick develops the theme that judgement is almost impossible to reserve for one’s whole life because at one point you will eventually feel ill will towards someone who has hurt you on a personal level, or simply just because they seem inferior of your thoughts. On the few first pages of the book, Nick describes himself and his illustrious friend Gatsby, and how he comes up through different circumstances because of the advice his dad once gave him “ just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had,” (1). That advice is that criticizing others is not fair to him or the person on the other...

Managers should be proactive in combating this “drug” that has taken over our workplace environment. Many things such as dictating your employees’ reporting time in advance, outlining consequences of being late, and dealing with tardiness as it occurs can be done to attempt to alleviate this problem which costs companies billions of dollars in lost production opportunities. In a survey that I conducted, my initial observations involving my coworkers were confirmed as out of 40 surveys that I sent out, almost 30 people responded exactly as I expected. The abuse of being tardy is evident all around us as suspense dates are sometimes not met, tasks are not accomplished, and work orders are not completed. It is only through ones intrinsic motivational determination that his problem can be eliminated. Many steps can be taken to attack and attempt to cure this “sickness”.
