...How Safe is Safe Case Study 1. As a company, would you describe PPI as having an identifiable philosophy of moral values? How do its policies contribute to this philosophy? In some ways PPI’s moral values can be considered distinguished. The reason I say this is because as we know, all for profit organizations are obviously out to make money and many will cut corners or sacrifice their future for quick gains. PPI could have very well kept their facility up to code just enough to comply with the law, but instead they are going above and beyond their own narrow self interest to insure the safety of their facility and provide a great working environment for their employees. This organization has obviously instilled some good moral values, by making decisions that not only benefit their own bottom line, but the people that work for them. 2. Which ethical perspective best describes PPI’s approach to safety issues? Would you say PPI takes a utilitarian-duty, or virtue-based approach? I believe PPI’s ethical perspective to safety can closely relate to a virtue-based approach. The company recognizes that it has a moral obligation to provide a safe working environment for its employees, and proper measures have been set forth and are being followed regularly, by having auditors inspect the plant to continuously improve on safety. The company continues to practice in good faith to improve its facility, thereby creating a comfortable, safe, efficient and orderly place to work...

It is important for food to be healthy, and for us to not get the disease. It is not true that if you increase your consumption of seafood is more likely to have seafood illness.

They are dedicated to provide it according sanitation and safety principles. Seafood industry is actually honest about every aspect of their food, and even inspection program approved it. All they want to have customers who trust them, to have their confidence and satisfy them. They want Congress to do something, and provide mandatory inspection to define people how safe and useful seafood industry is. Su, Y., & Liu, C. (2007).

...SAFE House Project Jerald Coleman Crime Prevention CRJ 306 Prof Angelique Lees March 10, 2014 It is the place where the Coleman family has called home for many years. From my years at Grimes Elementary, to playing basketball and football in the streets, crowds gathering for little league football and baseball games. Sunnyside, Texas is one of the most popular areas around the Houston area. However, along with those good times, also came some heartaches and pain due to crimes committed. Many of those little leaguers we watched on the football field years ago, we watched some of them be carried off into police cars or the medical examiner vans. We have watched them as playful children who eventually ended into drugs and violence. One can only ask what we can do to save our community for all of this negativity. The purpose of this proposal is to introduce the idea of a program entitled “Safe House”. Safe House stands for Substance Abuse Free Environment. Safe House will cater to men, women, and juvenile offenders. This proposal will be a brief summary of the crime in our community as well as how this program will be beneficial in preventing more crimes in our area. This proposal will also analyze the SARA Model along with the Crime Analysis Triangle and determine how both would be beneficial in the development of this program. This proposal will also discuss how effective will Safe House be in our community and how. It will then discuss my recommendations, predictions, and...

...remains that it is of paramount importance for your child to learn all possible advantages and disadvantage of sex. Communication plays an important role in the development of intimate sexuality. (Troth p195-218) Today, as young people embark on their first sexual relationships in a threatening climate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including the potentially fatal HIV/AIDS virus, the value of practicing communication and negotiation to facilitate the uptake of safe sex has far-reaching implications for health and well-being. However, communication between parents and are a bit uncomfortable with topics like condoms, STDs, and past sexual partners is a difficult task for many young people whose health may be placed in jeopardy by their inability to discuss safe sex. Public schools are now making sex education apart of their curriculum. However, the controversy arises as to whether sex education should be based on abstinence or a “safe sex” model. Critics of the “safe sex” program claim that teaching safe sex is another way of giving consent to engage in intercourse. Isn’t the bigger issue ensuring that students are prepared for any type of situation they find themselves in? What good is abstinence based course if they are already engaged in sexual activities? It is a proven fact that an abstinence based course doesn’t yield results. Therefore all public schools should teach...

...Safe Staffing McConnell- 2 Safe Staffing Affects Everyone Abstract: Safe staffing is a vital component of quality nursing care. However, oftentimes units in healthcare facilities across the nation lack the personnel that give the units the number of human resources needed to provide safe and sufficient care. A variety of people are affected by unsafe staffing: the actual nurses and ancillary staff, as well as stakeholders such as administrators, government and legislative bodies, and last but not least, the tax payer. The adverse effects of short staffing and the future impending nursing shortage are discussed, along with specific actions that have been taken, and are in the process of implementing, to ensure safe staffing and positive patient outcomes for all states across the United States. Keywords: Safe staffing, nurses, patients, healthcare, problem, nursing shortage Safe Staffing: It Affects Everyone: An Introduction Safe staffing is an essential and vital component of quality care. However, safe nurse to patient ratios are often not met in today's healthcare environment. This paper will describe what safe staffing ratios are, the problems associated with the lack of safe staffing ratios, what some states have enacted to ensure safe staffing, and what the the state of New York is currently projecting to ensure safe staffing is a reality for the future.

...Church's understanding that all sex in this context is "safe". Hence, in the sexual ideology of Catholic dogma "safe sex" means abstinence and nothing else. And yet despite this, every Catholic in the United States knows what is popularly meant by safe sex. American popular culture is inundated with references to safe sex on television, in popular literature, and in schools, which promote the use of condoms as a way for those who are "sexually active" to reduce the risk of the transmission of STDs, including HIV. Although the sexual ideologies underlying these sexual references vary, most of them tacitly approve of, or at least condone, sex outside of wedlock. As a Catholic student growing up in a suburban public high school, these competing safe sex messages created a tension in my understanding of safe sex: they were mutually inconsistent and yet also individually inadequate. Ultimately, my understanding of safe sex has developed as an amalgamation of these competing ideologies. In her book, Fatal Advice, Cindy Patton describes how white, middle-class society in the 1908s sought to preserve the sexual integrity and innocence of their youth by labeling their HIV-positive adolescents as Others, i.e. as members of some deviant subculture or group. The Catholic Church approaches safe sex and the transmission of STDs, particularly HIV, in an analogous manner. The Catholic Church reasons that those who need to practice safe sex in order to protect themselves against contracting...

Courtship is a gradual process that takes a lot of time in getting to know the person better. Many people who start dating have started off as friends with the person they're dating, so they know things about them that makes them potentially good partners in a relationship. However, this doesn't mean that it's easy to talk to them about safe sex. There are so many books giving advice on what to do when you begin dating someone, how to talk about safe sex and things to look for while you're dating that person. The unique thing with self-help books is that each writer's views are different so it doesn't sound repetitive even though the concepts are the same, but the views are very different, including those surrounding safe sex....

...IS LIVING IN A SAFE COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTES TO HAPPINESS Name: Institution: Introduction There is a lot concerning what makes people contented with how they handle their private lives, occupations, and jobs, but much less about what makes them contented with the areas that they stay. Selecting the place where to stay is the distinct most vital resolution that people can make in their private lives. Consequently, this is because the places where the people live structure their entire decisions. Happiness concerns people’s lives completely: it comprises the changing feelings that individuals experience in their daily lives as well as the entire fulfillment concerning life. It is also influenced by human growth along with peripheral circumstances like health and occupation. It is apparent that if an individual feels susceptible or does not feel protected in their locality then there is no chance of being happy (Benfield, 2012). Thus, this argumentative paper is going to explain the notion whether living in the safe community contributes to happiness both in the psychological as well as economical point of view. Most people think that a safe community contributes to happiness. The researchers established that individuals are happier when they are with alternate persons than when they are alone. Therefore, this applies to both the extroverts...
