...The Responsibility Project – No Phone Zone Day In every community members, has a responsibility. One of the most important responsibilities is social responsibility because it requires of us to make a difference. The issue in the video is using the cell phone while driving. Use of a cell phone while driving is an organizational issue because it disrupts the justice system and results in many victims. According to the No Phone Zone video an estimated 812,000 drivers use mobile devices while driving, one out of three teen drivers admit to texting while driving, 5,870 people lost their lives and 515,000 people were hurt because of distracted drivers (2010). This growing ethical issue has compelled people to take a stand on April 30, 2010 to form an awareness day called No Phone Zone Day (No Phone Zone Day, 2010). Not only is driving while using a cell phone an ethical issue, it is currently a legal issue as well in many states. Using ethical principles to address organizational issues Ethical principles can help to address organizational issues through awareness and support. The ethical principle in the No Phone Zone Day video is how to be socially responsible (Liberty Mutual, 2011). . Even though this issue has become more of a legal issue, law enforcement officials cannot minimize the incident on their own. They need help from outside forces such as politicians and community members to create awareness. People are less likely to break the law or a legal code if...

...The Responsibility Project: No Phone Zone Day ETH/316 The Responsibility Project: No Phone Zone Day As members of a community it is our responsibility to watch out for our fellow residents. When it comes to cell phone usage while driving I think that it is obvious it should not be done. It is socially irresponsible and absolutely unethical to talk, text or play on a cell phone while driving, as the video showed us. But unfortunately still everyday another person is killed by someone using a cell phone. According to the No Phone Zone video an estimated 812,000 people use mobile devices while driving, one out of three teen drivers admit to texting while driving, 5,870 people were killed and 515,000 people were injured because of distracted drivers (2010). This growing ethical issue has compelled people to take a stand on April 30, 2010 to form an awareness day called No Phone Zone Day (No Phone Zone Day, 2010). The role of external social pressures in influencing organizational ethics Organizational ethics get external pressure from all places, and they can be positive and negative. Some types of positive roles are awareness and education. Some negative roles are peer pressure and promotion pressures. If you show people that there are consequences for the actions that they take, then they are more aware. Peer pressure is a double edges sword; it can either be positive or negative. If one person is doing something bad and nothing is happening to them the others...

...Ethics and Social responsibility Theories are formed to display different beliefs, most of the time people agree with a portion of different beliefs rather than the entire concept. Theories are often used to put characters into perspective or to help people figure out who they are and where they belong. The virtue theory, the utilitarianism theory and deontological theory have similarity and differences. These theories also address ethics and morality differently, which makes it more of a challenge to decide which one to go with. Virtue ethics theory stands on the position that “we become good when we cultivate excellence (virtue) by pursuing the moderate course between excess and defect” (Boylan, 2009). This theory addresses ethics by challenging whether or not we judge a person by their actions rather than their character. Ethically people are judged by their actions because there are consequences for those actions. Morally people are judged by their character because it shows the base on which a person is formed. The problem with this theory is a person’s ethics will constantly fight with his/her morals trying to decide what is more important. Utilitarianism theory “suggests that an action is morally right when that action produces more total utility for the group as a consequence than any other alternative does” (Boylan, 2009). Morals teach us to put ourselves last because sacrifice is one of the greatest gifts. Ethics teaches us that we are responsible...

The person takes it with him and the information of where he is presently is provided. The same system has been implemented in this mobile tracking application i.eTrackMeApp but various extended features that the existing system does not have. This system is GPS enabled android mobile phone whose location is tracked. Our application provides the functionality of defining the geo-fence areas as safe, risky and highly risky. Keywords: GPS, TrackMeApp, geo-fence, A-GPS I. INTRODUCTION Various GPS-based tracking systems have been successfully deployed and utilized in various applications such as fleet and vehicle location identification, and in route guidance. Recently, systems that integrate GPS and GSM technologies with Google earth to provide real-time data have also been proposed. However, for indoors and closed environments GPS systems fall short and it becomes difficult to acquire the necessary satellites for accurate position computation. Some of the alternate techniques that are proposed for indoor location tracking...

...Sprint When we think of the number 3 and 4 cell phone carriers, only two come to mind, T-Mobile and Sprint. Both are known for being the most cost friendly companies, with a close amount of customer base and cell coverage. T-Mobile and Sprint both run their companies in many different ways, Sprint launched the I-Phone were T-Mobile chose to become a Samsung Champion, both have different approaches to deploying their LTE service and both use very different cell phone frequencies. While both companies struggle to get as many customers as possible, Sprint decided to follow in the steps of AT&T and Verizon and launch the Apple I-Phone. With the I-Phone being the “must have” device, Sprint felt it would be their saving grace to close a deal with apple and sell the most wanted phone on the planet. By doing this, it almost bankrupted the company with a massive $20 billion dollar deal to secure the phone. Even though they had one of their strongest sales quarters in history with the i-phone, the company still lost $1.5 billion dollars in net profit. As T-Mobile watched the third largest carrier reap the benefits of gaining more customers, the fourth largest carrier choose a different path. T-Mobile decided to become a Samsung champion carrier. By doing that they carried the most Samsung phone models of any carrier, since Samsung is the largest cell phone manufacturer and the biggest Android phone supplier, which is the i-phones biggest competitor. By being a Samsung champion T-Mobile...

...military leaders can speak eye to eye with their subordinates and private industry partners for effective communication to review detailed documents without leaving their offices. They also ensure that the commander’s intent is understood (Military Information Technology, 2009). Video Teleconferencing is a method of holding that allows people who are in different cities and countries, to communicate on computers or television. In the 35th Signal Brigade, Video Teleconferencing was used to talk to leaders and soldiers in combat zones and to have meetings with our higher headquarter, XVIII Airborne Corp at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Before video teleconferencing, the military had emails, chat rooms, and morale calls to keep soldiers overseas in contact with their families. It was also one of the ways commanders communicate with subordinates and held meetings over the phone with units in combat zones. The military realizes that phones calls were not reliable. The phone calls were often broken, had static and unfortunately very expensive for soldiers and the military. However, emails were unreliable and difficult to create because there were not enough computers for everyone to use. Therefore, the military decided to give deployed soldiers a better way to communicate with their families which help reduce the stress that soldiers have from the separation of them and their families. Military leaders are able to communicate more effectively with...

...Have you ever wonder what it is like to be in the boots of a US Service Member during their deployment phase? Also have you ever wonder what it was like to fight in a combat zone and the trials and tribulation they face when the deployment goes on? Well I’m going to tell you the three phases of a deployment. First you start with the ceremony, the lonely flight and finally the trials and tribulations of the combat zone. As you well know I’m no longer in the military but I going to tell you these phases through my eyes when I was in the army during my combat tour in Afghanistan from June 2010 to June 2011. It all started when I first sergeant told us what time to be at the company so we can have our early formation before we head to the Green Ramp. If you don’t know what Green Ramp is, it’s the final holding area that separates the soldiers and the plane. The reason why they call it that because it’s a small ramp that leads to the plane and it has green lands on the sides of the ramp. The formation time was 0500 and the weather was so nice that I could hear all the early birds chirping away. The formation time came and the first sergeant held accountability for all the fellow enlisted and officers that were going with us to Afghanistan. When we all found out what time we were heading to Green Ramp, we all decided that this was going to be a very long day. One of my soldiers came up to me and asks will this be a steadfast deployment and I told him I sure hope so. When it was finally...
