...RUNNING HEAD: GENERAL GRIEVOUS FOR PRESIDENT GENERAL GRIEVOUS FOR PRESIDENT 1 GENERAL GRIEVOUS FOR PRESIDENT Sean Sawicki ITT Technical Institute January 21, 2012 GENERAL GRIEVOUS FOR PRESIDENT 2 GENERAL GRIEVOUS FOR PRESIDENT When it comes to politics we always debate which is better, republicans or democrats. Every four years we are faced with the decision to vote for the next Commander and Chief, with our economies in great ruin, unemployment at an all time low and war throughout the planet, it’s time to really face the facts of who’s really going to get the job done. One who will fight to the end to save our economy, or the one who wants to just save the people closest to his beliefs? Well that time has come, with our two running candidates General Grievous (democrat) and Wookie Chewbacca (republican). When we sit back and look into the past of these two candidates, only one stands out in the crowd as the next commander and chief “General Grievous”. According to Darth Sanwicki (2012), creator and trainer of Qymaen jai Sheelal, “The Brain of a human, body by Intel”. Looking into the republican party we see high class people making high class decisions, whatever happened to the Republican belief ” legislations should will be on the Jedi table ...your Jedi members and senators will probably try to get peace on a state or local level rather than national level “The republics...

...XIn season three of the show, Underwood has manipulated and murdered his way to becoming President of the United States, a scary thought considering he didn’t even run, but that’s a whole other story. He realizes that in order to be an effective president, Underwood must actually find ways to benefit the majority of people. Up until this point in the show, Underwood enjoyed working in the shadows as a congressman, conducting his complex schemes without having to contend with the pressing media, buzzing around like flies at every waking moment. Now that he is in the spotlight however, Underwood devises a program called “America Works,” which is what it sounds, a government regulated federal jobs program. That being said, at the same time, gas...

...As Booth began his bold escape, the fate of Abraham Lincoln was unknown. According to “Abraham,” Charles Leale heard the pistol fire and Mary’s scream, so the twenty-three year old doctor sprinted towards the wounded President . When Leale reached Lincoln, the young doctor saw the physical condition of the President. “He found the president slumped in his chair, paralyzed and struggling to breath” (History.com). “Assassination” states that the doctor reacted quickly by ripping the President’s shirt open for a physical examination, but Leale could not find the bullet wound. With that diagnosis, the focus shifted from saving the President to moving him out of Ford’s Theater (2009). “Abraham” states that Lincoln was transported to a home across the street and placed in...

Please pay close attention to what is being discussed, as any transgressions after this report will be dealt with severely. The major focus is on employee reviews. It has been brought to our attention that after employees are finished writing their reviews, they have not been having their supervisors review and sign the review. This is an unethical violation of company policy. We believe that this destroys the connection between managers and employees. The self-review gives the employee an opportunity to show how they think of themselves...

...In the film Legally Blonde, Brooke Taylor-Windham is charged with the murder of her husband. If the following events had occurred in the United Kingdom then the judicial route taken would have been in correspondence with the jurisdictions and statutory laws of the UK, which differ to American laws applied in the film. In the United Kingdom Brooke Taylor-Windham would be charged with the same crime which in this case is murder, as it fits the definition of murder which is defined as ‘Where a person of sound mind and discretion, Unlawfully kills, not through self-defence or other justified killing any human being, born alive and breathing through its own lungs, under the Queen’s peace, with intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm’. Initially Brooke Taylor-Windham would have been given time to consult with her solicitor and then charged at a police station by a custody sergeant, after having being interviewed and then detained after arrest or bailed after arrest until further notice. Following that she would have a court date set to appear at a magistrate’s court. Virtually all criminal court cases start in the Magistrates court. She would appear in front of a panel of three judges of different ages, sexes and nationalities if possible to bring a broader experience of life to the bench, all three judges have the same powers but only the chairman, who sits in the middle, speaks directly to the defendant who in this case would be Brooke Taylor-Windham. Her Solicitor/Barrister...

...sees them because many times people are too afraid to speak out. Why are people afraid to speak out? They do not want to hurt people that are close to them and are afraid of what the reaction will be. Secrets affect many people not just those close to the secret, they affect a vast amount of people, have strange or unexpected beginnings, have consequential results, are rarely resolved to satisfaction and have a lot of power. Secrets affect many people that have nothing to do with the secret in many different ways. Secrets are very harmful and have a butterfly effect. The lies just get bigger and bigger and affect a vast amount of people. Secrets effects are deep and in the Sandusky scandal “No price the NCAA can levy will repair the grievous damage inflicted by Jerry Sandusky on his victims” (Emmert 2). Scandals happen right in front of us and they are so easy to see that we are blinded “Hahn said Paterno was excellent and he never lied to him”, the fact that a coach knew what was happening and did not tell any one is scary (Emmert 2). Scandals can cause an entire population to be brainwashed into believing in things and ideas that they never did. In Russia a secret bombing and war on Chechnya occurred because they disagreed with Putin, “Yet today Chechnya is the only place in Russia where Putin is so openly and publicly worshiped”, this shows that secrets manipulate people and what they believe (Shuster 1). Putin secretly enforced his rule on these people as when, “From...

...There have been four serious financial crises and countless more corporate scandals with global implications in just the last decade. All of them driven by greed and corruption, all of them led by dynamic, charismatic business leaders who initially showed fantastic promise, innovation and financial leadership. And it seems with the most recent of these crises, many of the key players in the 2008 global recession have not only not been punished, but are still in the same positions of power and able to continue their transgressions. Here are some interesting highlights of the last decade: Enron scandal (2001): Andrew Fastow the CFO of Enron along with Kenneth Lay the Chairman and Jeffrey Skilling the CEO develop an offbalancesheet mark to market fraud that loses $11 billion and bankrupts Enron. It is the largest bankruptcy reorganization in US history at the time. They are charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, securities fraud, false statements, insider trading and money laundering. Fastow serves 6 years in prison, Lay passes away before sentencing and Skilling is sentenced to 24 years in prison. WorldCom scandal (2005): Bernard Ebbers the CEO of WorldCom loses $100 billion of shareholder value in the largest accounting scandal in US history (until Madoff). Ebbers is charged with securities fraud and conspiracy and is serving 25 years in prison. Bernard Madoff (2008): Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC heads a $50 billion ponzi scheme, the largest in history, and is charged with securities fraud...

...Pick a country that has abolished the death penalty. Discuss the reasons that motivated the country to take that stand Death penalty as capital punishment caused and continues to cause heated debates in the society. Nowadays there are many countries where the death penalty is provided by legislation, for example, the USA, China, India, Egypt, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Japan and others. The most common arguments "for" this punishment are the following: protection of society, deterrent effect, economic injustice of life imprisonment, and act of humanism. However, a large number of countries in the world have refused this type of punishment, in particular, Algeria, Tajikistan, Sri Lanka, Laos, Russia and others. They cite the following reasons: possibility of a miscarriage of justice, absence of addressing the causes of crime, contradiction to the international law standards. In the modern globalized world the international community faced faces with the active development of global problems such as terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption, etc. These problems stimulate the constant debate about the necessity to toughen penalties for dangerous criminals, in particular, people discuss the need for of the death penalty in states, where the law does not provide it as capital punishment. The Russian Federation is one of these states. It is the largest country in the world, and many criminal elements from neighboring less prosperous countries penetrate on its territory, they commit...

...Family Related Issues Derrick Dingle Professor Myers-Nelson Law and Ethics in the Business Environment 1. Explain if it matters that a parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for that parent. The type of relationship or lack thereof between a child and their biological parent has no bearing on whether an employee is eligible for FMLA. An employee can ask to use FMLA to care for a family member (whether they had nothing to do with them), for their own physical/mental health care and after the birth or adoption of a child. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides an entitlement of up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave during any 12-month period to eligible, covered employees and employers must grant eligible employee this right for one or more of the following reasons, the birth and care of a newborn child, placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care, care for a spouse, son, daughter or parent with a serious health condition, medical leave when an employee is unable to work due to a serious health condition, qualifying exigencies arising out of the fact that the employee’s spouse, son, daughter or parent is on active duty or call to active duty status as a member of the National Guard or Reserves in support of a contingency operation.

...For the past several decades the centerpiece of the United States (US) Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardized not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation is unparalleled in American political history. Throughout this paper we will explore some reasons why the United States has been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state. One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic and interests, or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of economic, military, and diplomatic support that the United States provides to the State of Israel. We’ll also explore how the United States’ strategic military operations in support of Israel, is in America’s national interest. The United States is now the world's only superpower; if it does not exert international leadership, what country will? No other state’s military has the will or the capability to take on such threats as those emanating from rogue states like Iraq, Iran, or North Korea; nor can any other deal with issues such as the spread of weapons of mass destruction, international terrorism, radical Islam, or international narcotics trafficking....

...Mexican History Term Paper The Drug War: Failed Democratization and Market-Oriented Economics Cause Mexican Insecurity Once a model for Latin American development, Mexico is now home to an epidemic of drug related violence. The state is apparently powerless to stop organized crime, despite increasing military presence in criminal hotspots along the U.S-Mexican border. Since January 2007, more than 28,000 Mexicans died in drug violence. This is a cruel twist for a nation which, during the oil-driven Mexican Miracle of the 1970s, was poised to join the first world of stable industrialized states. Under the heavy-handed guidance of the Partido Revolutionario Institutional, Mexico seemed destined to remain a prosperous authoritarian regime with a thin veneer of democratic legitimacy. However, untested economic policies swept through the country as they did through the much of the world in the 1980s with the help of the "Washington consensus." With the removal of social security nets during an extended period of economic upheaval, Mexico's ruling party was replaced in a wave of popular discontent. The new leadership, with the institutions of an authoritarian regime, did little to relieve the nation of widespread poverty. As a result, the impoverished were unable to either escape crushing deprivation legally or mobilize to replace the government without fear of reprisal. Insurgency, in the familiar form of guerrilla movements and the novel form of increasingly powerful drug gangs...

...Damaging the employers reputation can be done by employees in several different ways, and can include many different forums. What should happen if an employee tweets negative things about their employer? What if they get in trouble outside of work? What if they do something at work that critically damages their reputation that is not part of their job duties? There are many ways that employees conduct inside and outside of work can affect an employer’s reputation, the relationship as well as many consequences for the actions. This report is going to address off-duty conduct and defamation and show cases that are relevant. Essentially anything that employees do outside of work hours should be their business, but is it? In the case Kelly v. Linamar Corporation, 2005 CanLII 42487 (Ont.SC): Mr. Philip Kelly had been working in Linamar for 14 years, and his position was manager which supervisors more than 10 employees and have daily touch base with suppliers and customers. His work record was impressive, and others knew him as a respectful manager. However, he was arrested for holding child pornography in his home computer on January 21, 2002(Filsinger, 2010, p.380).
