...The Roman games and the value of life. The Roman games, or ludi, were held for the entertainment of the Roman people and played a significant role in ancient Roman culture. In the amphitheater, gladiators battled against wild beasts or engaged in combat with other gladiators. Such events were used to “elevate status” and to create “interaction between the ruler and the ruled”, highlighting the importance the Romans placed on rank and hierarchy. The ludi represented Rome’s dominance over its enemies but at what cost? It celebrated the fearlessness and power of the warriors and the state but also revealed their viciousness and disregard for the living. The act of killing, the crowd’s behavior, and even the arena itself all demonstrate how the Roman games devalue life, which is what this essay will explore. Human beings have an unusual fascination with violence but the idea of watching people die for sport is still shocking. The practice of watching deaths actually originates from the Christian ‘good death’, wherein friends and family gather to witness a loved one’s departure to a better place. “Death by public execution was an echo, even a mirror, of the Christian ‘good death’” in that it was a public event and was presided over by clergymen. However, the religious and solemn atmosphere cannot be found in a Roman arena. Le Bon suggests that in a crowd “a man descends several rungs in the ladder of civilization. Isolated, he may be a cultivated individual; in a crowd, he is...

...Critically evaluate the proposition that all human beings possess equal and inalienable rights, and that they are entitled to such rights without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that each individual human being is entitled to. Human rights assert that humans are given certain entitlements simply for being a human. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscious and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 2010). They were developed in a democratic and universal manner. Throughout the world, human rights are acknowledged in various ways, such as shared norms of human moralities, justified moral norms, natural rights, or legal rights which are enforced at either a national level or within international law. However, the concept of human rights has been a heated topic of debate, as there is no consensus as to what should or should not be considered a human right. Human rights are relatively modern, only being in force for just over 50years, however the foundation of this concept is seen in the history of philosophy and concepts of natural law, rights and liberties in classical Greece and the development of Roman Law. Human rights concepts have existed for a lot of human history; however these liberties...

...implement talent acquisition strategies to meet corporate goals How to design and implement talent acquisition strategies to meet corporate goals 09/10/2013 By Tom Bradley and Christian Steele When companies complain that they can't find enough good people, the cause, in our view, is most likely to be deep-rooted and centred on a misalignment between the strategic goals of the business and the efforts of the company's talent acquisition professionals. In this article, we'll outline the approach we took at Pfizer and offer some ideas that you can take away and implement right away. But before we do that, let's first look at why this misalignment between people and business goals happens. The root causes are not that complicated and usually centre on two things: first, the people who find and hire employees don't sit in the same meetings as those who set the direction of the overall business and its main operating units. Getting a seat at those senior-level forums, and the credibility to contribute on an equal footing as a genuine 'business partner', is more difficult than you might think. This is usually because the perception of HR, where talent acquisition resides, is that of a lower-level, tactical support function. We have both worked with a varied, diverse mix of business leaders. Depending on which one you spoke to, they viewed talent acquisition as either strategic, operational or perhaps somewhere in between. But only if the role is seen as strategically important will...

...have appropriate consequences attached to their infractions. Additionally, employees need a safe and non-retaliatory means of submitting infractions for investigation. If, as a company, we provide clear guidelines, appropriate penalties, and straight forward methods of filing complaints, we can foster a productive, safe, and comfortable working environment for all of our employees. Harassment Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; and Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments; tell us how a company must conduct itself in the form of hiring practice (U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 2009). However, these Titles can also help a company shape anti-harassment policies. Any discriminatory or harassing remarks made about any of these topics should fall within the outline of harassment. Pomodoro must strictly prohibit all forms of workplace harassment. An employee’s words, actions or behavior must not create an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. (Rutter, 1997,...

...said, “Government are instituted among Men, deriving their just Power from the Consent of the Governed.” Since the second continental congress declared America’s independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776 the United States government has sought to realize the fundamental principle on which our nation was founded. This was the start of the government we now know and still honor today. As our school children say every morning in class, as our founding fathers wished for us, that all people have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This paper will answer a handful of questions such as; what were the reasons our forefathers divided the government into the legislative, judicial, and executive branches? How are the three branches of the U.S. government supposed to interact? Is the system successful? Why or why not? Are the branches balanced in power? How was the conflict between supporters of a strong federal government and champions of states’ rights characterized then as opposed to now? How could things have been designed more efficiently, if at all? Our founding fathers divided the government into three separate branches was because they planned to implement a democratic government that would work to serve the citizens and not regulate them. In other words, the founding fathers wanted to devise an organization where no single individual or assembly would have too much authority. Basically they didn’t want one person to have too much power. The...

The Constitution assures the states of its problems and its issues. The Nevada Constitution was approved on the first Wednesday of September 1864.

...AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN PUBLIC & PRIVATE PROCUREMENT ENGLISH LAW LaSadia Whitman Abstract Throughout history, there have been many policies and laws that have been passed to make America, a county that will offer a citizenship equal liberty, rights and equal opportunity. In my paper I will discuss the path on how affirmative action was established, and how it is important to public and private procurement. I will use examples of affirmative action from recent discriminating cases. I will show how affirmative action affects federal and subcontractors within the government agencies. I will also talk about how high level manager uses affirmative action within their companies. I will also discuss the path of affirmative action how the changes affect the veterans that have served in the U.S. military. Finally I will discuss how affirmative action has helped changed America for the benefit of the people. “Preferential affirmative action patronizes Americans, blacks, women and others by presuming that they cannot succeed on their own. Preferential affirmative action does not advance civil right in this country” (Alan Keyes). As many decades have past, the question of whether America is place where equal opportunity is available to every citizen of the United States has grown as major debate throughout society. The legal meaning of affirmative action is the employment programs required by the federal statutes and regulations designed to remedy discriminatory...
