...FEAR: an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous. In his book Never Cry Wolf (1963) the author, Mowat Farley is showing us a different side to the wolves. At the beginning of the book Mowat hears lots of rumors about the wolves through the people in Churchill giving him a natural fear of the wolves. As he continued his exploration of the Canadian North and his study of the relationship between caribou and wolves he learned more than he could ever imagine.

...Response Paper: Never Let Me Go The screening of the book Never Let Me Go by Ishiguro Kazuo was directed by Mark Romanek, not a very famous director but definitely a hard-working one. The movie includes such actors as Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield who act as the main protagonists of the performance. The movie starts with the final scene of Tommy’s “completion”. Then the viewer is presented with the retrospection of events that leads to this final scene. It is quite different than in the book. The writer tells the story from the very beginning and does not show the ending to the readers. While the movie is created in such a way that in the first scene the viewer knows how it ends, it does not mean that it is not interesting. In contrary it is a very well composed and striking film. From the beginning of the movie the audience is presented with the everyday life of a group of young people: Tommy, Kathy, and Ruth. They seem to be the average persons while in fact they are a part of a big project. They are simply genetically modified clones. They cannot have children, they have to be healthy, and from the very beginning of their lives they are prepared for donations. They give their organs and after one, two or sometimes three surgeries they just complete. Some of these people believe that they can get a deferral. In fact, there is no such thing as deferral and they are meant to die from the very beginning of their lives. Their struggle to postpone the...

...Sample Answers to Questions 1 and 2. Most of you did well on questions 3 and 4, so here I post only sample answers to questions 1(a) & (b) and 2: 1(a) & 1(b): Question on whether moving production to China is ethical; Question on the economic and social costs and benefits of such a move. Sample Answer (A) Note: this student earned high grades for looking at the issue from multiple perspectives, for looking at the benefits and costs to all major stakeholders, and for acknowledging that moving productions overseas is a controversial topic. Excellent use of facts to support his/her claim. 1. Whether or not Ohio Art Company’s decision to shift production offshore was ethically wrong is a controversial topic. In strictly business terms, Ohio Art Company (OAC) did not break any laws or perform an illicit act; OAC’s decision to offshore was one that had few other options – if the company did not find ways to lower production costs, the company would have eventually gone bankrupt. If production had not been moved, OAC would have been unable to lower production costs, and would therefore be unable to generate enough profits to continue business. Either way, OAC employees would have suffered job losses. Furthermore, OAC’s decision benefited shareholders, which is one element of judging an ethical decision; there are no standards that prohibit off shoring. However, OAC’s obligations to its employees are something that must be considered as well. The company, which...

...By around 1700, fiction was no longer a predominantly aristocratic entertainment. The Provençal 12th-century romances and their imitators had already attracted urban connoisseurs who had had the financial means to commission bigger manuscripts in the 14th and 15th centuries. Printed books had soon gained the power to reach readers of almost all classes, though the reading habits differed and to follow fashions remained a privilege. Spain was a trendsetter into the 1630s but French authors superseded Cervantes, de Quevedo, and Alemán in the 1640s. As Huet was to note in 1670, the change was one of manners.[note 12] The new French works taught a new, on the surface freer, gallant exchange between the sexes as the essence of life at the French court. Aristocratic and bourgeois customers sought distinctly French authors to offer the authentic style of conversations in the 1660s. The situation changed again from 1660s into the 1690s: the French market split. Dutch publishers[55] began to sell works by French authors, published out of the reach of French censors. The publishing houses of The Hague and Amsterdam also pirated the entire Parisian production of fashionable books and thus created a new market of political and scandalous fiction and European fashions. Étienne Roger in Amsterdam published Renneville's L'inquisition Françoise (1715), which was also available in the year of its publication, in English and German. Books of the period boasted of their fame on the international...

...When you think about it, there isn’t a day that goes by without being tempted. Temptation comes along our paths every day in our lives. Whether it is from the foods we eat, the people we talk to, or the choices we make, knowing that sometimes they aren’t right. This is why the rapper Logic decided to inspire, or rather uplift, any of his audience going through some adversities or rough patches in life, in his song “Never Been”. Throughout his song, he uses countless examples of how he overcame adversities of his own and is reassuring that immoral temptation is challenging but he believes that we can all overcome it. Logic opens this song with the lyrics, “I’ve been workin’ like I’ve never been, I struggle everyday but I just can’t let the devil in”. Logic is saying how he recognizes how difficult it is to refrain from temptation and how he learned from every situation he has been in. We not only deal with our personal demons, but we also come in contact with outside demons such as the environment that we are put in and by some people perceiving to be the devil to destroy us. In these lyrics right here, Logic is saying we struggle everyday but we can’t let anything or anyone distract us from what we want. These demons, whether internal or external, try to corrupt us but he wants us to know that we are not alone. Immediately after these lyrics, Logic raps “And if I knew back then what I know right now, what I know right now, I’d be better than I’ve ever been, better than I’ve...

...Case Study – Never on Sunday 1. The personal beliefs of McCoy and the Cathy families influenced the organizational culture by only expecting from their employees what they expect of themselves. People deserve a day of rest. They deserve a break. The McCoy’s and Cathy’s share their values and beliefs and incorporate this into the expected behaviors. Their cultural rules based on their Evangelical Christian belief in their faith through letting their “feet do it” shows the commitment to their God through what they do. 2. The lessons for developing high performance organizational cultures for business that are not family run is that it is proven effective. It is a golden rule that all parents teach their children as they grow up. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Business relationships are not different. This relationships need to follow the golden rule too. Companies can use organizational development techniques to manage, nurture, and guide cultural change and adaptation. With strong commitment to collaborative efforts and human values (the golden rule), group and/or individual intervention is effective. 3. The challenges for a new leader who is interested in moving their organization in the direction of the McCoy’s or Chick-fil-A is to get management to buy in that a day’s worth of lost sales is worth the moral and positive attitudes of the employee’s. Employees consider the no workday as a benefit and feel rewarded. Feeling rewarded...

...I mentioned earlier because people don’t usually think of animals as having the capability to be upset about their actions. Remorse is ordinarily thought of as being a quality that us humans have, but one that animals would not possess. In the panel 1 continues to repeat “Bad dog, bad dog, bad dog” which shows that he is disappointed in his own actions and that it is bothering him that he had to do what he did to the man. It is the only thing that is on his mind, even when 2 asks about home after it, 1 just keeps on saying “Bad dog, bad dog” because it is the only thing that he can think about, and he can’t get it off of his mind. Another way that this particular scene shows a human quality through the animals is you notice that 1 never attacked until the hunter actually hurt 3. The hunter actually pointed his gun and 3 for a few panels and warned him to...

...Never Again I’ve had enough. Why am I living like this when I don’t have to? I have my own life to live. There’s no reason as to why you, my own father, can control me. I might only be 12 but I can make my own decisions. “Hey Dad, can I go to lunch with Mum?” At this point I was cheerful and enjoying my morning… Well that changed quickly. I didn’t know what I’d done. He lost it. I only asked to go to lunch, what’s the big deal? He was completely mad at me. He was yelling at me until he got in the car and screamed out the driveway. My brother had no idea what he could do to help. Neither of us had ever seen Dad like this. I was a complete mess; my eyes were red and puffy and had tears pouring down my cheeks. Everything hurt. I was scared and upset. I had no idea what to do. How was I supposed to know what to do? I was only 12. I walked back to my room after yet another argument with Dad. For all I know he is oblivious to what or how I feel. Why shouldn’t he be? Yes he’s my dad but I can’t speak my thoughts. Everything has been kept in for too long. I was only just holding together. It was Dad’s weekend to have me but I wanted to go to lunch with mum. I’m not sure what happened to him the night before, or whether it was just his feelings and emotions that had built up over the years, but what I asked must’ve been the last straw. He lost it. He took it all out on me. I could hear the tyres coming back down the gravel driveway. I got up and sat outside on the...

...Unit 2 Narratives Assignment Tammy Rich Kaplan University HU300 – 01 The story that I have chosen is “The Tortoise and the Hare”. The story is about a hare and a tortoise who were good friends. The hare would boast of his speed and the tortoise one day challenged his friend in a race. The confident hare took it easy, but the tortoise ran steadily, and he won the race (Saloni, 2012) The moral of this story is that even if it seems that you are not the quickest or the best at a particular task that may not be the case. If you do your best from the beginning to the end and you will know where you stand. It may prove that someone who seems more skilled at something may not be and slow and steady wins the race (Saloni, 2012). In the fable “The Tortoise and the Hare”, the writers’ concentration isn’t on the Tortoise’s confident in taking on a bully such as the Hare, but emphasizes the foolishness of the Hare’s over-confidence. Growing up hearing this story, I now realize that many people have good natural abilities in regards to race, size, and statues; not knowing what our opponent is capable of. Just as in “The Tortoise and the Hare”, the hare from the start is confident of his ability to defeat the tortoise because of his characteristics and abilities. Thinking his hasting would cause him to get ahead, the hare finds himself behind. A wise man once said “haste makes waste” and in this case it is so true (Milleray, 2013). Storytelling has long held an important role...

...CMS AND HOSPITAL REINBURSMENT FOR NEVER EVENTS Never Events are errors in medical care that are of concern to both the public and healthcare professionals, and providers. The term "Never Event" was first introduced in 2001 by Ken Kizer, MD, former CEO of the National Quality Forum (NQF), in reference to particularly shocking medical errors such as wrong-site surgery that should never occur (Rosenthal 2012). The CMS issued new rules in 2008 that halt payment to hospitals for treatment of preventable patient complications and injuries, which referred to as “Never Events”. Ten categories of hospital-acquired condition that are reasonably preventable were identify by CMS (ECRI 2008). These are pressure ulcer stages III and IV; falls and trauma; surgical site infection after bariatric surgery for obesity, certain orthopedic procedures, and bypass surgery ,vascular- catheter associated infection; catheter-associated urinary tract infection; administration of incompatible blood; air embolism; and foreign object unintentionally retained after surgery All these are preventable conditions and are subject to nonpayment. This rule that halt payment to hospitals for preventable patient complication and injuries, has tremendous effect on hospital nursing practice. (Herb 2009). As the public becomes aware of the new CMS rules, legal concern have been raise about an increase in malpractice claims related to hospital acquired conditions. Strict liability imposes legal responsibility for...

...Falls are the event described as “an unintentional coming to rest on the ground, floor, or lower level, but not as result of syncope or overwhelming external force” (Trepanier, S., 2014). Falls are preventable, unfortunately still happen in health care settings. “Risk factors for falls include sedative use, cognitive impairment, lower extremity weakness, poor reflexes, balance and gait abnormalities, foot problems, and environmental hazards” (Trepanier, S., 2014). When falls happen it may affect patient’s health, prolong patient’s stay in the hospital and increase the coast for the hospital. “Patient falls are a leading cause of injuries in hospitals, considered to be among the most expensive adverse events, and continue to be a patient safety concern” (Albert, S. M, 2014). It is very important for the hospitals to have fall prevention programs. First, patient’s who get admitted to the hospital are thoroughly assessed for potential fall risk. This initial step is very important to identify what preciouses should be taken to prevent the fall incident. Depending of the patient’s condition, age, history and medications the care plan is established and prevention actions are developed. Most common fall preventions measures, which apply for all the patients include putting the bed in low position, putting call light and personal items within the patient’s reach, putting non skid sucks on the patient, two side rails up. Patients with higher fall risk, such as those who has history of...

...The Four Musicians of Bremen In the story a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster, all past their prime years in life and usefulness on their respective farms, were soon to be discarded or mistreated by their masters. One by one they leave their homes and set out together. They decide to go to Bremen, known for its freedom, to live without owners and become musicians there. On the way to Bremen, they see a lighted cottage; they look inside and see four robbers enjoying their ill-gotten gains. Standing on each others backs, they decide to perform for the men in hope of gaining food. Their 'music' has an unanticipated effect; the men run for their lives, not knowing what the strange sound is. The animals take possession of the house, eat a good meal, and settle in for the evening. Later that night, the robbers return and send one of their members in to investigate. It is dark and he sees the eyes of the Cat shining in the darkness. He reaches over to light his candle, thinking he sees the coals of the fire. Things happen in quick succession; the Cat swipes his face with her claws, the Donkey picks up his hooves and kicks him, the Dog bites him on the leg, and the Rooster crows and chases him out the door, screaming. He tells his companions that he was beset by a horrible witch who scratched him with her long fingers (the Cat), a man with a knife (the Dog), a monster who had hit him with a club (the Donkey), and worst of all, the devil who screamed from the rooftop (the Rooster)...

...BE CONTRIBUTIVE TO THE SOCIETY In our to day’s life, some people never cared about, what the outcome might be when they take their decisions. What will they do to live a peaceful life? What will they contribute to the society? Whether positively or negatively? While other people are the types that are always conscious about, what the outcome might be, when I make this decision? What will they do to live a peaceful life? What they will contribute to the development of the society? John wooden said “the only pressure that amounts to a hill of beans is the pressure you put on yourself. So i don’t worry about outside pressures. But if I don’t put pressure on myself to do the best job I’m capable of doing, then I’m cheating everybody, including myself”. When one is conscious about the life he or she is living, it affects the person behaviour towards the way he dresses, talks, eats, makes friends and even when it comes to choose whom to marry or not. He founds out that he is responsible for every action or decision taken by him and that every success or failure made today is attributed to him. He sees himself as a winner not a whiner. A winner always progress and accept responsibility while a whiner makes excuses and blames others. Winner produces regardless of the situation because he is a master of circumstances. One question that one should ask his or herself at any point in time is: what I’m I to my society; a contributor or a consumer? Are you the type of person that...
