...Introduction Empirical research on business ethics has traditionally concentrated on examining managers' attitudes to\yard unethical behaviour (e.g. Izraeli 1988, Preble & Reichel 1988, Small 1992) or toward moral dilemmas presented in scenarios (e.g. Cohen et al. 1993, Cruz et al. 2000, Kujala 2000, Reidenbach et al. 1991). A lot of attention has also been given to case studies describing lifethreatening or demanding situations, corporate tragedies or human catastrophes (e.g. Beauchamp 1993, Hoffman 1984, Post 1986, Sethi & Stedlmeier 1991, Shrivastava 1987, and Velasquez 1992). Although all these issues are of utmost importance, they more or less deal with unusual situations and unexpected behaviour, and they can be argued to be beyond the scope of issues on which the managers feel they can exert influence (Waters et al. 1986). It seems that empirical research on ethics in business should be more interested in how managers see the "ordinary life"; the everyday managing situations where they have to face many issues that are moral in their nature (Hosmer 1996: 1, Stark 1993). In the context of studying moral issues in business, the stakeholder approach has gained increasing support in recent years (Van Luijk 2000). It has been found to be a suitable tool for analysing a company's relations with its environment and for dealing with moral issues raised in these relations (Nasi 1995, Waters et al. 1986). To answer the demand for the research of moral issues...

Police officer’s dedicate themselves to striving in protecting and representing their community with the service in which they provide. Putting their lives at risk during the hours of work and aside from the career life these individual’s live like any other person. Much of their time is spent out on the streets patrolling and when they are not they find themselves in court being pressed for information from lawyers regarding cases. Emphases of this paper is to provide some of the data information on why people choose to become a law enforcement official. Why a Law Enforcement Official? Many may believe that officer’s take on the career to follow another family member’s foot steps. To specifically conclude on this matter the information in which will need to be attained will be through the process of intense researching online and via telephone interviewing. The first thought in which must be received is defining why individual’s choose the career of becoming a police officer. According to Nicole A. (2007) it has been noted that many officer’s become involved in law enforcement due to family tradition. Having the desire to follow parent’s footsteps in the same career path has been noted as being a huge reason...

...Gathering Data Research David Thompson CJA/334 Research Methods in Criminal Justice Dr. Lane Roos July 19, 2012 Gathering Data Research Prosecutions, Convictions, Acquittal’s and all forms of legal action in between play a critical role in the courts. However, none of what the attorneys do can be done without first having a firm grasp on each and every case set before them, the judge and the jury that will be making its judgment. But before they can make an informed decision there must have been a gathering of information, or data to support both sides of the case. The gathering of information or data is vital to the case and perhaps even more so to the individual/s that are on trial as their lives can and often do hang in the balance. No matter what profession one may have within the judicial system, researching information is something that at one time or another must be done. The ineffective of data gathering, research and analysis in often one of the primary factors behind an innocent man/woman going to jail and the guilty going free, therefore, the emphases placed on the gathering of information cannot and must not be understated.

...Distracted Driving Sometimes in life “sorry” can become a magic word and fix everything, then there are times that saying “sorry” undoes nothing. Will saying “sorry” help when you crash your parent’s car, because you are too busy looking at your phone? What about when you kill someone’s child because you’re too busy talking to your friend and run a stop light? Will you say “sorry” to the kid’s parents and expect everything to be okay? Saying “sorry” cannot begin to fix some things and preventing those from happening by acting responsibly in the first place is the best you can do. I like the introduction technique with the hypothetical questions. However, you now need to transition into your thesis or central claim, and that central claim needs to come here, at the end of the intro paragraph. Ninety percent of car accidents are caused by human error – driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, speeding recklessly, changing lanes without signaling, passing through red lines, and probably most known of all: distracted driving OK, first of all, don’t begin body paragraphs with statistics. Rarely should you do this. Instead, remember that I want your body paragraphs to begins with subclaims. Secondly, where did you get this statistic? This is not a research paper (you’ll be taught proper research in Composition II). For now, we want you to avoid research sources except your interviews. .

...Introduction Research is generally undertaken to assist in elaborating on and uncovering the complexities of real world problems. A problem statement was outlined and research questions were raised during the researcher’s literature review. This problem statement and research questions identified in the researchers literature review requires comprehensive and extensive research and analysis to facilitate the drawing of logical conclusions. The researcher’s literature review was based on addressing BIG DATA challenges using Semantic/Cloud Technologies and gives introduction to the pertinent propositions that will guide the strategy of the researcher’s research. Overview of Research Paradigm Willis (Willis 2007) illustrates that a paradigm is a comprehensive belief system, framework or world which guides research and practice in a specific field. Due to the multidimensional nature of the problem statement and research questions derived from the researcher’s literature review, the research will design research by...

...Q2: For each of the three research papers, identify the specific research question(s) addressed by the author(s) and provide a brief account of the research method employed. (20 marks) Paper one: There are quite a few research questions addressed by the authors, these include; can cannabis, used in isolation, contribute to collisions more than any other characteristics built-in to cannabis users, is there a greater or lower risk of motor collisions when drivers have recently consumed cannabis, and is there a relationship between reckless driving and frequency of driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) among young cannabis users? The study itself is a quantitative study and was observational. The participants were 72 young male adult cannabis users; male, as they were found to be more reckless whilst driving (Beirness & Beasley, 2009). The participants were recruited through telephone interviews, where they were briefed about filling out a questionnaire and participating in a driving simulator task. The participants completed several driving simulator tasks and were observed by the authors on their performance. The authors employed the French version of the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI) to determine the presence of dangerous driving habits, such as aggressive driving, risky driving and...

...Gathering Research Data Paper Hayley Lacy CJA/334 April 11, 2016 Rhonda Grant Gathering Research Data Paper Police officers are viewed by the masses of Americans that they are sworn to protect as the men and women in blue. They have sworn to protect the innocent and keep them from harm’s way and in turn do much more than that for their community. It takes an extraordinaire person to be a police officer. They are someone who is willing to dedicate their lives, health and safety in order to protect those who depend on them. In this paper we will attempt to address and research an interest that has been voiced concerning police officers and their jobs. In this paper we will state the purpose behind our proposed research. We will inform you of the interview structure we will use and we will inform you as to some of the questions that we would ask. We will give distinct advantages of a qualitative data-gathering strategy, such as participant observation, over more qualitative approaches. We will inform you when conducting survey research the importance of informed consent and confidentiality. It is a common conception that police officers choose their particular career path simply because they are inheriting a family member’s desire. They choose to be an officer because their father or their mother or a relative was an officer. It is a common conception that officers are not chosen they are inherited and expected to be from family. This area of interest is something...

It visualizes the negation of female gender in art. The paper investigates the dichotomy of language, the use of irony and situational metaphors to displace conventional ones; it blends theories with critical evaluation of discourse. The research uses empirical methods in solving hypothetical questions with the use of extensive and relatively unstructured interviews. It examines the interviews of twenty five people independently, these people include: University lecturers, students, administrative and technical staff. The work analyzes concurrently their interview testimonies to search for congruence. Data analysis begins with a detailed microanalysis in which emergent concepts...

...produce in the U.S. Hemp can be used for so many different things that are better that and more environmentally friendly than what we are using today, and this displays why the cultivation of hemp should be legalized. Background I bought a backpack last year which was made almost entirely of hemp, which led me to become more curious about this plant which is most often associated with a drug. I started to do more research about this plant to become informed of its many uses and found many interesting facts about the utility of hemp in many aspects of modern day life. The only problem with this plant is that it is not legal because it is related to the drug marijuana, but what people don’t know that they are two completely different plants. There are many different uses for hemp; the two largest being paper and clothing. We are cutting down so many trees in our forests to make paper with when we could just grow hemp that grows in almost any condition and up to four times faster than our current resources, meaning that we would be able to supply more paper while using less resources in a more cost efficient and eco-friendly way. If we were able to stop deforestation, the leading cause of global climate change, by implementing the use of hemp, more trees and vegetation would be allowed to grow, in turn releasing an increased amount of oxygen into the atmosphere, creating a healthier environment for all. Clothing is also very important because the cloth that hemp makes is...
