...English Should be the Only Language Immigration, legal or not, has been a problem for the United States for a long time. In the U.S., promoters of bilingualism have supported the use of other languages for public services, including government documents, hospitals services, voting ballots, and bilingual education. In their essays “A Nation Divided by One Language” and “Viva Bilingualism”, James Crawford and James Fallows claim that it is not necessary to declare English the official language of the U.S. On the other hand, in their essays “English Should Be the Only Language” and “Why the U.S. Needs an Official Language”, S. I. Hayakawa and Mauro E. Mujica argue that English should be made the official language. They contend that multilingualism puts a large financial burden on the country. One specific service in which the cost outweighs the benefits is bilingual education. It is teaching non-English speaking students all school subjects in their native language. However, it lowers the standards for public schools and tends to create a segregated environment for the students. They also point out that the U.S. is a leading nation and English is the most used language in the world. Not forcing immigrants to learn English will actually impede upon their assimilation into America. Without correcting this problem, America will suffer from disunity and divergence. Multilingual government is very expensive. More than 120 multiple languages are spoken throughout the states. To support...

...Responsibility Stances 15 Conclusion 16 Introduction According to General Robert E. Wood “Business is like a war in one respect, if its ground strategy is correct, any number of tactical errors can be made and yet the enterprise proves successful.”[1] Wood compares strategy to war and also indicates its origin from the Greek. The Greek word “strategos” meant “military leader”. Many refer to strategy in terms of either military, games (chess) or team related (football) context. Woods also underlines the neccessity and the reason of a strategy in any organisation. The European College of Business and Management (ECBM) is a registered non-profit organisation specialising in business education. It focuses on two main areas: Personal Development Programmes and Higher Education, Business Management Programmes. This assignment will discuss the means and bases of the strategy of the European College of Business and Management, analyse the use of the strategy and evaluate the application of possible future strategic options.

...individuals in high management and the employees working in the organization. All individuals have their own interpretation of what the rules are and the ethical climate of the organization. This thought process was first explained by Lawrence Kohlberg which define these ethical decision making process as the Stages of Moral Development. Kohlberg’s model of moral development is useful for exploring questions about how members of an organization regard ethical dilemmas, including how they determine what is right or wrong in a particular situation (Hellriegel 2009). For example, an individual in the obedience and punishment orientation will perceive things differently than an individual in the social contract stage. If a person in the lowest stage feels that there is no risk of being caught, the individual will be more likely to engage in unethical behavior, if it benefits them, as evidenced by Lionel Waters of Wesson. Depending on the level of authority the individual has in their organization, the effects of higher management influence can be great or small. Mr. Waters are in higher management and his personal impact is greater because it affects the whole company. Valerie faced this major dilemma because of her personal belief, but also because of his level in management. She was not sure if there were others in management that knew what was going. 2.

...Health errors do not all effect in damage or grievance. Checkup errors that reason damage or hurt are occasionally called avoidable unpleasant actions that are the damage is a reflection to be due to a therapeutic intervention, not principal patient circumstances. Errors consequential in severe injury or death are considered “sentinel events” by the Joint Commission (Longo, D., Hewitt, J. E., Ge, B., & Schubert, S., 2007). The case study, Appearance May Not is Reality, was the focus of this assignment because of privacy practices. The purpose of this assignment was to identify key ethical and legal issues, determine which elements of the Code of Ethics of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) would help administrators determine the right course of action, identify potential ethics committee actions, and administrator’s role in preventing and addressing the issues in the aforementioned case study.

...COM/156 –University Composition and Communication II Benefits of a Higher Education In a report published by the U.S. Census Bureau titled The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings, an average adult with a high school degree could expect to earn about $1.2 million, someone with a bachelor’s degree could earn about $2.1 million, and a person with a master’s degree might expect around $2.5 million. The average salary of a high school dropout is about $21,000 a year which equates to $840,000 over a 40 year period. By most standards, there is a substantial difference in the lifetime earnings presented in the data which will undoubtedly have impact on any one person’s life and those who depend on that person to provide for them. An education is the single most important tool a person can acquire. Well educated individuals not only earn more money throughout their lifetimes, but they also live longer, healthier, and more comfortable lives. Every aspect of peoples’ lives is affected by the level of education or lack of education that they have. The type of career, salary, health, social environment, and community are all factors associated with academic prowess. Also more important, the post professional quality of lives of individuals with higher education credentials is greatly improved over the lives of non-educated retirees. Pursuing higher education empowers individuals to take control of their future by providing more...

...A State of Confusion Wendy Haugen BUS 415 Douglas Edmunds Tanya Trucker’s lawsuit versus the State of Confusion conveys a paradigm concurrent with the course book regarding Interstate Commerce. Commercial traffic within the states, considered Interstate commerce, will affect commerce between states. The Commerce Clause allows the federal government to regulate the interstate commerce. The statute enacted by the state of Confusion requires all towing trailers and trucks that drive through the state of Confusion to use a B-type truck hitch. Tanya Trucker, a resident of the state of Denial is livid, incandescent with fury, yet she controls herself as she contacts a known law firm, which specializes in this field of commercial law. In a genteel fashion, she has expressed her extreme displeasure in the situation with her attorney, pointing out the additional expense this statute imposes on her business. She intends to file suit against Confusion to overturn the statute. Tanya Truckers lawsuit will occur in the jurisdiction of the Federal District court. Her Attorney and his colleagues research their sources, discovering the statute is void as it violates the supremacy clause; No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another. “Federal jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship requires...

...International Education Programs: Risk Management Albert Einstein once said, “There is no scientific antidote (to the atomic bomb), only education. You’ve got to change the way people think. I am not interested in disarmament talks between nations - What I want to do is to disarm the mind. After that, everything else will automatically follow. The ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.” Although those words were spoken decades ago, they are most applicable in the current era of our society. Today, international education programs are faced with several socio and macro-economic challenges, particularly in the United States. These dynamics significantly impact the education programs, driven primarily by government intervention. This paper will explore the interrelationship between government, institutions, students, and risk management, and prove that U.S. government interaction negatively impacts the effectiveness of post-secondary international education programs. Antiquated regulations severely limit operational execution and potential innovation, resulting in an increase in both regulatory and financial risks for the participating institutions. Challenges in the regulatory environment are ever increasing, including financial headwinds that significantly limit the regulatory bodies. Such constraints lead to restrictive prioritization of their tasks in order to stay effective. Their priority setting process, understandably non-transparent...
