...forest fire, etc.)? Why? When dealing with a crisis as serious as a hurricane, flood, blizzard etc. I believe that a free market is best suited for handling these issues. Free market is an economic system in which decisions about what to produce and the amount are decided by the markets buyers and sellers (Courtland, 2005). When something this devastating occurs, many businesses and resources are taken and destroyed. Private sectors are those who own and operate businesses which would eliminate some of the government’s role on repairing communities. The government could focus on aiding and assisting the economy for the better, for example, lending private sectors money to help regain their establishment. The planned system, which the government has large control over resources and limited freedom of choice may not be best suited in this situation because I believe the public would be in fear of what might happen. Planned systems are solely based on what the government recommends, which might not be the best solution during a disaster because people have no choice but to wait on the government to take action. With a free market system we are able to have non-profit organization such as Red Cross or churches help aid and rebuild the communities. Free market system is more open to help where they can manage disasters with help from others rather than a planned market where the government is responsible for how to rebuild the economy. Describe and explain why a socialist system...

...for handling a crisis of epic proportions (hurricane, flood, blizzard, forest fire, etc.)? Why? As far as handling a crisis, I would have to say that the socialist economic system would be the best. Since the Government makes all of the decision, the socialist economic system would probably be best prepared for the situation. “Socialist economy is a system of production where goods and services are produced directly for use, in contrast to a capitalist economic system, where goods and services are produced to generate profit.” (2013) In any kind of crisis, the socialism system would best support the situation. The government would step in and help society out in a situation like this. “Socialism teaches people to help others during the time of crisis. Being a not for profit organization means that everyone doing what they are supposed to and looking after injured people’s best interest.” (2013) Describe and explain why a socialist system might be the best in responding to the needs of people struck by an emergency situation like the earthquake that occurred in Haiti in January 2010 Health care, child care, and education are free in a socialist system. “The government would already be most likely responsible and/or prepared to serve the needs of those in need. It also states in the book that workers get longer vacations and work fewer hours per week, so the people available to help in cleanup disasters would be plentiful. The biggest advantage of socialist system is that...

...non-profit. The goal for this organization would be to open and maintain teaching hospitals in developing countries that suffer largely from the “brain- drain”. The brain drain is a phenomenon in which intelligent people that want an education leave their home country in search of a better life and prosperous education. These people would greatly benefit their native country if they could learn and practice medicine (often the occupation of choice) there instead of going to Europe or America where there is already an abundance of medical care facilitators. This is non-profit is different from organizations that already exist because existing programs bring in volunteers who come in and take up jobs from native people and as soon as resources are gone have to leave. This is unsustainable in many areas and often leaves the cities in more need then before outside sources had come in. This is not a “feel-good” organization; it is not supposed to make outsiders feel like they are helping and being good people. It is supposed to help the people that already have the ambition to practice and study medicine, be able to accomplish that with residencies and then inspire other people in the area to do the same. The first part of Drucker’s Managing the Nonprofit Organization explains what makes up a good mission and the benefits of sticking true to it. The mission statement for the organization that I have yet to create will probably fluctuate as it comes to fruition. The current mission...

...NAME English Comp 201 Professor Harvey February 5, 2014 Should Individuals Without a Government Issued License be Able to Practice Law? Majoring in the legal field has always been a dream of mine. As a little girl, I dreamed of serving the public, sitting in a courtroom and putting “bad guys” behind bars all in a day’s work. I then imagined myself leaving the courtroom and treating myself to a shopping spree, manicure and massage all on a lawyer’s salary. I thought I had everything figured out and life would be perfect as I rode off into the sunset with Prince Charming wearing my suit, and carrying a briefcase. Since then, I have learned law is much more complex than I ever imagined and the idea of a perfect career began to blur right before my eyes. I then decided a career as a paralegal was a better fit for me. I started the path to my career as a paralegal at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and even took an introductory course last fall. One day, my professor asked the class if we thought practicing law without a government issue licensed was considered the unauthorized practice of law. The class began a debate that took nearly the entire class period. It was that moment I became aware of the changes that lie ahead in the legal field before I get my degree. In the last year, a hot, new topic has starting being discussed in the legal field and has created controversy and difference in opinion amongst all fifty states. The controversy began when Washington legalized...

...Homework Assignment Which economic system is best suited for handling a crisis of epic proportions (hurricane, flood, blizzard, forest fire, etc.)? Why? NIMS (National Incidence Management System) also known as FEMA. When there is a natural disaster, emergency crews (fire department, ambulance, police etc.) is usually the first help on the scene to help people out. Socialism system offers the best solution for handling emergency situations because the government takes care of paying the people who work there so everyone can focus on helping the people in need. Being a not for profit organization means that everyone doing what they are supposed to and looking after injured people's best interest. Socialism in its perfect form (which rarely ever happens) seems to be the best economic system because it teaches people how to share things with your neighbor and to help out on the time of need. Describe and explain why a socialist system might be the best in responding to the needs of people struck by an emergency situation like the earthquake that occurred in Haiti in January 2010. A socialist society is more likely to have immediate and controlled impact on an emergency situation like the ones suffered in recent years throughout the world. Socialist societies are base in the good of the nation and the human needs of the people making them more efficient in regrouping and reorganizing their efforts. In these societies, each person has a role to play and they know what it is...

...inequality benefits everybody” written by George F. Will was published in the Washington Post. Will begins the article by explaining that workers in China manufacture goods for other countries and earn about as much as Americans would spend on a latte each day. The author then explains that this cycle increases American’s disposable income. In the next paragraph, Will mentions that most of the people who were the richest people in the 1980s were no longer the richest people in 2013. He then suggests that the world needs more billionaires like Mark Zuckerburg, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates. Although these people would be able to charge more money for their products, they charge less because more people will buy their products if they are sold at a lower price and “profits attract imitators and innovators.” In the next section of this article, Will explains that he believes that monopoly profits are a good thing because they show people how...

...what PI is trying to establish as it helps other businesses. Perceptionicity was a phrase coined, “to define and encompass all the processes used to align perceptions within organizational and/ or corporate cultures.” (Aguayo, 4). With the help of the City of Influence, this section will help explain why developing relationships are key in order to help this idea of Perceptionicity expand across the business world. These principles include but are not limited to how relationships help motivate, how to develop relationships and the advantages to developing relationships in this way. Relationships Help Motivate Most, if not all businesses have employees. Whether it is one to one hundred thousand, the idea of motivation is applicable to these businesses. As an owner or manager we need to think, “When you are not around what motivates your employees?”(Aguayo, 5). This is important, because often owners or managers are not around! Without proper motivation or any motivation; how will the employee produce positive results for the business? PI can have an impact on businesses by helping their management realize this principle. A way to help with this is to not have relationship arrogance within the company. Relationship arrogance means to “prioritize relationships based on a forecasted return on investment.” (Stewart, 50). In a blunter manner, it is to only make relationships with those whom you can get what you want or need. From City of Influence, chapter 8...
