...Reporting Abuse Summary Mary Wiley, Sandra Spencer, Tracey Marshall-Dove, Lisa Stein, Jeannie Puskarich BSHS332 October 10, 2010 Bobby Fowler Reporting Abuse Summary Team A has been researching and discussing our individual state laws concerning reporting abuse on children, spouse, and elders. The discussion centered around our thoughts on confidentiality and the duty to protect others from harm. There are three of us who reside in Washington State, and one in Florida, and one in Ohio. This summary will bring together all the different laws and the reader will begin to see the similarities and differences on reporting abuse between the states. Protecting the Most Vulnerable There are laws implemented to protect the most vulnerable of citizens. In the United States, nearly 61% of children are victims of abuse and neglect (Iannelli, 2010). The cases of elderly abuse that comes to the attention of authorities are one in 14 according to the Official National statistics (National Center on Elder Abuse, 2010). Spousal abuse happens in every country and culture. Domestic violence statistic reports nearly one third to one half of women are abused by their husbands or domestic partner (Reade, 2010). However, spousal abuse is not exclusively committed against the female gender. One in every 33 men is abused by their mate (MenWeb, 2010). Every aspect of human service work will have a pertinent position in these areas of human violations. ...

His creations led him to begin one of the world’s most successful computer companies in the world, which would eventually create a paradigm shift in the technology world. Jobs was adopted as an infant by a middle class family and grew up in California’s Silicon Valley, where as a teenager, he was exposed to tinkering with his father in the family garage, which in 1976, became the birthplace of Apple Computer (Jobs, 2012). As an executive, Jobs had a temperament that was not always welcomed in the professional atmosphere. Shortly after he began Apple he was asked to leave by the Board of Directors and friend, John Sculley, CEO of Apple Computer. This was a blow that Jobs did not take lightly, and in order to maintain his dream and vision, he started a new software company, called NeXT. Eventually Apple Computer purchased the failing company, only after Jobs returned to Apple Computer in 1997, as the CEO. He replaced Gil Amelio, who replaced John Sculley only three years before (Nair, 2012). In 2007, Apple Computer became Apple, Inc., so the world would know that Apple was not just selling computers (Finkle, 2010). Jobs’ leadership traits, charismatic leadership...

...distribution generated by a typically perverse African political economy, through its effect on the allocation of resources to development. As between these two causes, the second is probably much the more important. This reinterpretation puts considerably more of the blame for African poverty on the Western great powers than does the “poverty trap” analytic that is a common contemporary way of thinking about the African economic situation. INTRODUCTION This essay, which really is an essay rather than a sustained scholarly encounter with the problem, proposes an alternative to the “poverty trap” analytic for understanding extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The poverty-trap idea is well instantiated by the following quotation from Jeffrey and Lisa Sachs, and it is common among liberal Western commentators on African economy. For the world’s poorest people, daily life is a struggle for survival, with millions of impoverished people each year losing that struggle to famine, disease, environmental catastrophes, and violent conflicts that arise in conditions of extreme deprivation. . . . One basic point, not always remembered, is that impoverished countries lack their own budgetary resources needed to supply vital—indeed life-saving—services such as primary healthcare or support for smallholder famers. The poor are thereby trapped. The lack of public services leads to hunger, poverty, and disease, while the poverty means that the tax base of government is too small to support public policies...
