Top-down communication is when supervisors speak to their employees without expecting and/or desiring a communicative response. Many organization resisted this practice because the one-way flow of communication can lead to problems such as misinformation, lack of information, dissatisfaction, and apathy. Supervisors encourage their employees often want to influence others, use their skills and identify with work and workplaces that they consider to be meaningful. The other approach is hierarchy which is when individuals are organized based on position, rank and authority and the connections among their own and others organizational roles can be displayed visually via an organizational chart.

...CASE PROBLEM: HAMILTON COUNTY JUDGES Hamilton County Judges try thousands of cases per year. In an overwhelming majority of the cases disposed, the verdict stands as rendered. However, some cases are appealed, and of those appealed, some of the cases are reversed. Kristen DelGuzzi of the Cincinnati Enquirer conducted a study of cases handled by Hamilton County Judges over a three-year period ( Cincinnati Enquirer, January 11, 1998 ). Shown in Table 2.5 are the results for 182,908 cases handled (disposed) by 38 Judges in Common Pleas Court, Domestic relations Court, and Municipal Court.

This study compiles information from 38 Judges who had a total of 182,908 cases presented to them over a three year period. This study shows the number of cases that were disposed, appealed, and reversed. This study is to aid in determining which judges have a greater proficiency trying cases and their verdicts stand as rendered, rather than the verdicts being appealed or reversed. Each judges case load was reviewed and the statistics were determined by how many cases have been appealed, reversed or a conjunction of both. This information will help determine the judges who have made the least, as well as the most errors, while serving in the Hamilton County Court System over the three year period. This study will show that for all the disposed cases in the Hamilton County Court System during the 3 year evaluation period, the Common Pleas Court the probability of a case being appealed and reversed is 0.1129 (11.29%); Domestic Relations Courts probability of a case being appealed and reversed is 0.1604 (16.04%); Municipal Court probability of a case being appealed and reversed is 0.2080(20.80%).

...Statistical analysis of hamilton county court system 1994-1996 Summary of purpose On Sunday January 11th 1998 The Enquirer of Cincinnati Ohio released an article by Kristen Delguzzi entitled, “Courtroom errors undermine justice.” This report summarizes and ranks each court and judges’ ruling in Hamilton County from 1994 to 1996. Each Judge is ranked on frequency of having a ruling appealed and the frequency of handing down an unlawful judgement. These rankings are subdivided into quartiles of how accurate each judge was in their ruling, the higher the ranking the more accurate that particular judge was. This study found that older judges were making the majority of the mistakes. After 28 years judge William Morrissey retired in 1996, however, in the three years prior he had 22 reversals. Judge William S. Mathews a veteran judge of 27 years had 18 reversals in a two year time span. While the two newest Judges Beth Mattingly and James Patrick had only one reversal apiece in 1996. Experts have pointed to burnout of the judges being the lead cause to judicial mistakes.

...mental illnesses can be caused due to disagreement between ID and superego and the overuse of defence mechanisms which could be caused due to bad childhood upbringing. An example would be experiencing abuse as a child or losing a close relative. This helps us today by highlighting the importance and severity of everyone’s childhood and how the protection of children should be priority. This will allow us to decrease the amount of mental health illness cases later on. It has helped the adaption of social services and care services because they have more of an understanding of what to provide and how to care for the child. Also, in schools, it helps us to understand that children may respond with defence mechanisms such as aggression or denial in circumstances that don’t need that response due to the fact that it is their personal way of coping and dealing with what is happening in their private lives e.g. at home. The psychodynamic approach has helped to develop medicine so we are able to have what we have today. Nadine Burke suggested that doctors have found the adverse childhood experiences can affect a child massively due to brain development and their hormones. Unfortunately, they also have a 75% higher chance of developing lung cancer and heart disease. Burke realised that instead of trying to treat every single illness, they need to research and look how they are developed so...

It also grants intelligence authorities to secretly search suspects’ homes without any initial notification if the latter has “an ‘adverse result’ on the investigation” (Kassop 6); what is more, it prohibits “subpoenaed” business from telling anyone whose records were requested and investigated by FBI (Swartz “PATRIOT Act’s Reach Expanded” 1).
