...Homosexuality in the Military John P. Wernegreen DeVry University Professor Foley Homosexuality in the Military The issue of homosexuality in the military has long been considered a taboo subject, not to be discussed openly, and essentially prohibited with the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy established in the 1990’s. However, attitudes have changed and evolved over the years making homosexuality in general less of a stigma and more of an acceptable lifestyle that some people live. After much deliberation and research, the Department of Defense (DOD) has established its own set of rules and regulations, thus continuing the controversy and discrimination of homosexuality within its ranks and the redefining of its regulations. Beginning in 1916, the United States military began issuing an administrative discharge called a blue discharge. This discharge, also known as a “blue ticket,” was neither honorable nor dishonorable, but it “became the discharge of choice for commanders seeking to remove homosexual service members from the ranks…” (Serving, para. 1). The policy for discharging service members found to be homosexual or engaging in homosexual acts prior to these “blue tickets” was to court-martial them for sodomy, imprison them and subsequently dishonorably discharge them. When the United States began to mobilize troops in World War II, though, it was no longer practical to hold court-martials due to time constraints and troop movements, so commanders began administratively...

...Organizational Behavior I believe the president of the United States Barack Obama and many of the 2010 Congressmen and Senators could have learned a lot from this Organizational Behavior class. I believe that their lack of managing diversity training is the root cause of some major turmoil both in and out of the military, and will continue to be for many years to come. In this analysis I would like to focus on some issues with the legislations repeal act of president Bill Clinton and his 1993 legislation’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and discuss how the 2010 legislation could have managed diversity with less complications. The following analysis is not meant to voice the military nor my personal opinion of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy nor its repeal. This analysis will focus purely on how the 2010 legislation could have managed diversity with less complications (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010, p. 35) in regards to: the repeal act of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy (Wikipedia, 2012), the Defense of Marriage Act (Beutler, 2011), and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 125: Sodomy (SLDN, 2012), and how these policies are currently not working well together (Beutler, 2011). Diversity represents the multitude of individual differences and similarities that exist among people. Diversity is not an issue of age, race, or gender. Diversity is not an issue of being heterosexual, gay, or lesbian or of being Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Muslim, or Buddhist. ...

...Social Web Chari N. Clayton INF103 Catherine Doughty 12/16/2010 Social Web The Social Web is so changing and is expanding each and every day. From online education to Social networking, Social Web has become a part of everyone’s life some way, somehow. We are now able to share websites, share photos, and use Social networking as a friend locating tool, free of charge. With all of the options and choices we have available, we can do just about any day-to-day function if we have a computer with a web browser. What is Social Web? The Social web is a specified term for the World Wide Web as a kind of Social Media. The term is currently used to describe how people socialize or interact with each other throughout the web. The Social Web mostly refers to Social networking, MySpace for example, and content-sharing sites (which also offer a Social networking functionality) within Web 2.0. These Social websites are mostly formed around the connections of people of the same interest, but there are several theories that specify exactly how this formation works. There are for example said to be “people focus” websites such as Bebo, Facebook, and MySpace, that focus of social interaction often by making the user create an online identity and a profile. There is also socializing on the web that is typified by “hobby focus”. For example, if one is interested in photography and wants to share this with like-minded people, then there are photography websites...

Its a pretty honest and downright straightforward discussion, so dont read it if you arent ready for it In this generation of entitlement, some of it may not make sense, but I guarantee its all true. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What follows is a list of the 10 qualities of a good leader. 1. Honesty Do or Do Not, there is no Try! Leaders have to be honest. If those under your charge do not trust you, then they won’t follow you. Common sense, if you ask me. 2. Responsibility If you are going to make decisions, then you should take responsibility for the decisions that you make. Good leaders don’t pass the buck or blame other people – they deal with situations that arise and take responsibility for the results. Oh, and if you delegate a responsibility to someone under your charge and they screw it up,...

...Lovers Or Friends “Wake up Eric time to go to school its your first day, don't want you to be late on your first day of school” Eric mom yelled. “Coming mom” said Eric, “Wait one second and let me put on my shirt” Eric added. The bus pulled up in front of the white picket fence house and Eric is still not ready so he grabs his comb, brush, and his book bag and rush onto the bus. Everyone on the bus starred at Eric as he walked up the three black and dirty stairs. “C'mon boy sit down so we can leave to head to school” the rude bus driver said. Eric didn't know who to sit by because he was new to the school and obviously he thinks no one is going to talk to the new kid. He walked down the hallway as these two light skin boys both wearing fitted jeans and an Hollister shirt one was wearing green and the other wearing a bright yellow color and both wearing all white jordans looking like a pack of sour skittles. As he passed them 1 they started laughing hysterically, as Eric looked at them with a little smirk on his face, one of the boys says to Eric “what are you wearing,them bad ahh reebok and them bad ahh cargos, school Boy”! Eric sat down by himself in the seat behind the two boys. They reached atthe huge, white school building. He got of the bus quickly as possible until then the two boys pushed him out of his way so they could walk he walked through. He had a mean mug on his face like he wanted to punch them in their faces but it’s the first...

...likely to be asked in any interview for a content or Web copy writer. While I was planning to write a small content writing interview guide for a long time what finally made me put my fingers to the keyboard was the truly vast experience gained after giving 11 interviews in 14 days! Persistence does pay at the end of the day. The Getup: As content writing is a relatively informal job, even an informal getup with a semi-formal shirt should do fine. No need for any tie or suit. Punctuality: This is a must irrespective of the job you apply for. Make sure you reach the venue at least 15-20 minutes before the appointed time and put your documents or reference of past work in order and do remember to have an attractive resume in hand. 1) Tell me something about yourself. This is the most common interview question which will almost certainly be asked to any candidate. While it seems a pretty straightforward question many find it the toughest as it’s quite open ended and people fumble when required to speak about themselves rather than about their work and/or skills. But fear not friends. The question is asked merely to know more about your personality than actually seeking your personal details. The best way to approach this question is to start with your high school, go up to graduation/post graduation and move towards your work experience. If the interviewer seeks family details only then you...
