...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof? (U.S. Const. art. I, amend. I). In the court case Wisconsin v. Yoder, that found its way to the Supreme Court in 1971, helped define the right to religious freedom. This case gave Amish everywhere the right to choice how long their children go to school (Wisconsin v. Yoder, 1972). Three members of the Amish religion refused to send their children to public schools after eighth grade because of religious reasons. Wisconsin had a law that required that all children go to school until that age of 16 and the Amish parents argued that going to high school was against their religious beliefs and their First Amendment rights of religious freedom...

...Occupy Wall Street Movement was started from a group of activists, students and protesters that really want to change the world and have their voice be heard. (2011, Kroll) Many of these activists are residents of the Unites States, but have lived in other countries and have experienced many protests within their country. As this group formed they felt the need to better understand why the United States’ economy was in a state of flux. They would question the inequality of salaries of many major companies. They also are concerned about how the financial industry or banking institution is corrupt in spending money. Occupy Wall Streets’ slogan is “We are the 99%,” referring to that most of the wealth in U.S. is among the top 1% compared to the other 99%. The other 99 percent are those that may not have jobs, living below the poverty line or those that are middle class. In reality the CEO’s or banking, financial institutions, etc. are accumulating most of the wealth in this country. Many would think that it’s because of unregulated industries that allow improper global trading or unregulated amounts of monies dispersed between the government and protected companies. Upon further analysis of the movement, we will discuss the moral and economic implications of the movement to try to better understand the reasoning behind the passion of the protestors. Months before the protest in Zuccotti Park there were a small number of protestors discussing dissatisfaction of many people losing...

...committees, and advice from qualified healthcare teams. The United States federal government’s main role in health care is to introduce, organize, finance and oversee the health care policy and its delivery. It creates the blueprint for how the U.S. health care should be carried out on varies levels of U.S. legislation. Health care policies made at the Federal level become highest order of laws and guideline for which the state and local governments must comply for the implementation of the policies. The following two examples further explain the role of federal government in health care. The first example is the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, which was introduced, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 8, 2003. Basically, this law gave our seniors citizens the right to prescription drug benefits and more choice in health care. It provided a must need relief to those who were struggling to pay for their own health care expenses. The second example is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which was signed by President Obama in 2010.

...POLICE HISTORY SEPTEMBER 12, 2015 CJS 241 POLICE HISTORY The history of policing dates back several thousand years, to when there was no peace and order. Inhumane acts upon citizens was normal with religious, political, or military police acting as the law. Policing was unstable and unorganized. Citizens took the law into their own hands and served as judge, jury, and executioner. There was no such thing as being “innocent until proven guilty.” If the community believed an individual was guilty of a crime then the community would handle the offense themselves. Early English colonists brought with them to America many familiar concepts of policing based on their own policing systems. These policing systems evolved as time progressed, resulting in major differences in responsibilities and credentials within the legal system. Now, as the U.S. Policing is based on historic English policing, the more modern roles of such officials such as the sheriff, have little in common with their historic ancestors. (CJi) As a member of England’s elite social and political class, and fighting to improve the structure of the law enforcement for more than 30 years, history expresses itself and acknowledges this member as the “father” of modern policing, also known as Sir Robert Peel (Walker & Katz). You may ask who Sir Robert Peel is and how he impacted American Policing. Sir Robert Peel updated England's criminal code. He established the first modern police force in London, whose...

...Environmental Sustainability Instructor: Janet Bargar Argosy University Aisha Freelove 3/13/16 Environmental Issues and the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution was introduced in the late 18th century and progressed throughout the 19th century. During this era many advancements were developed. In addition to the many inventions, urbanization expanded, factories were built, and the environment suffered negative impacts due to air pollution, deforestation, and many other factors. Three of the most negatively impacted inventions to the environment, were the Canal, The Railroad and Locomotive, and the Automobile. There were some positive impacts to these three inventions, but the environment unfortunately was not one of them. Dewitt Clinton was one of the men behind the invention of the Erie Canal. Although history has stated that the idea was not originated by Clinton, he was a significant factor in the process. History states that an imprisoned flour merchant by the name of Jesse Hawley He envisioned building a canal across New York State. His initial goal was to provide an alternate route to help others navigate between the Great Lakes, the Hudson River, and the Atlantic Ocean. Hawley developed the idea after failed attempts to successfully transport his own products. Construction started in 1817 and was completed in 1825. The actual mileage span was documented at 350 miles. Before its closure in 1882, it became a very successful resource which led...

...of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The five questions that we will address in this paper are: 1. Is current business and regulatory environment more conducive to ethical behavior? 2. What impact was done to WorldCom because of the accounting ethical breach? 3. How was WorldCom caught and how they failed to be ethical? 4. What accounts were impacted and the resulting impact on operations? 5. What measures could have been taken to prevent this breach? The first thing that we will do is to describe how WorldCom came to be one the biggest companies in the telecommunications industry. WorldCom began in 1983 in Clinton, Mississippi as a long distance company called Long Distance Discount Services. As a result of several mergers that began in 1985 after the board elected Bernie Ebbers as the company CEO, the company grew by leaps and bounds. On November 4, 1997, WorldCom and MCI Communications announced their $37 billion merger to form MCI WorldCom, making it the largest corporate merger of U.S. history. On October 5, 1999, Sprint Corporation and MCI WorldCom announced a $129 billion merger agreement between the two companies. This deal did not finalize because of opposition from the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Union because of concerns of it creating a monopoly. According to the Library of Economics and Liberty, a monopoly is defined as an...

...The History of Police No Name CJA/214 00/00/00 Instructor: No Name We can learn a lot from the history of our police; this history tells us about how we first started off as society. As society today, this history should be something that everyone should know about. The start of our police was a great period in history. America learned a lot of its policing tactics from Great Britain and still uses many of those tactics with a few modifications today. It is a misconception that policing stayed the same over the years, they have learned and applied many different ways of handling different scenarios over the years and police departments continue to evolve. The police has gone through different stages in America’s history, political era, reform era, community era, and the new development stages. In the early colonies policing took form of both informal and communal, patrols called “Watch”. The system of the “Watch” was composed of volunteers in the community and their primary duty was to warn of potential danger. Boston was the first to create the night watch in 1663 followed by New York and Philadelphia shortly after. Watchmen would often sleep or would drink on duty making this a very ineffective crime deterrent. Most the watchmen volunteers were either forced into service by the town, as a form of punishment, or were simply attempting to evade military service. Philadelphia organized an independent police force in 1833 followed by Boston and New York with day police...

To illustrate Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced Assault Weapons Ban legislation that would ban any weapon with a grip on the premise they are too easy to get and used too often for bad (Feinstein). The NRA states “the average annual number of background checks for the last five years, 2007-2011, is 25 percent higher than for NICS’ first five complete years, 1999-2003” (NRA). The NRA also states “In 2009 alone some 1,868,268 pistols were imported or exported by U.S. manufacturers, according to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) data (NRA). If the old mantra holds true overall crime should be on the rise; however, a 2011 FBI Uniform Crime Report shows violent crime is continuing a decade long downward trend and is down 3.8% from 2010. The recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary has overwhelmingly drowned any positive statistics. While this event is truly an unspeakable, horrible, tragedy eventually a reasonable person must put aside emotions, and really think about how to...

...Economic Terms and History Paper Vicki Sellers HCS 440 July 10, 2014 David Disciascio Economic Terms and History Paper Health care economics have dramatically evolved throughout generations in this country. And those changes have caused a shift in how health care organizations to adjust their financial methods, strategies, and how they provide overall care. Health care economics has at times put a great burden on the health care industry such as the providers, the ones needing care, and the insurance companies who now help pay for that care. Health care facilities and companies continually have so many demands put on them with all the changes, it is not surprising that something has to suffer because of it and in our current economy, what seems to suffer most is the quality of care provided. Changes to health care and its delivery have also been impacted by technology, advances in medicine as well as different procedures and medicines . People vary in their belief systems in what has caused the changes to health care economics. Some individuals believe that is due to various changes that United States have gone through since her birth. However many others believe that a lot of influence has been due to advances in technology and how those changes have impacted health care. What is most important is having an understanding of these changes and the impacts they have made on the health care industry over all throughout history. Comprehending the history of and how health care...

...rights and wages, one must question how effective labor management relations are today. Unions present the opportunity for workers to have a representative voice; however, as history proves, unions also present the opportunity for union heads to fulfill self-serving agendas that offer little, if any, respite to workers. As such, this paper examines the history of labor management relations to set the stage for included discussion on current labor and union issues to determine how beneficial unions are and whether they do more harm than good in protecting workers’ rights. History Von Otter defines labor management relations as being related to “the rules and policies which govern and organize employment, how these are established and implemented, and how they affect the needs and interests of employees and employers” (np). Labor management relations involves both industry and economics and often encompasses strategic human resources. However, not all sectors of business, economic and social environments “work” well together as history has proven. The world economy experienced massive growth in the twentieth century with a significant portion of growth recognized after World War II. The economic growth in the United States impacted the world economy and the relationship between labor and management and productivity became a major focus at national and international levels. Despite massive economic growth in the twentieth century, however, the U.S. and other world economies saw a...
