...Should gun rights be limited? This is a broad question. I will focus closely to what was written in the attached article “Gun rights and corresponding responsibilities” from the Chicago Tribune by Christine Johanson Ross, of Buffalo Grove. The author breaks right into a non sequitur fallacy, as she is assuming that her thought on gun safety is “commonsense”. She uses many other examples throughout history to prove her point. She uses the similarity of restricted first amendment rights to justify why it is ok to impose additional laws for gun owners. The author states that “20,000 American children and teens die from gun violence yearly”. The author does not state where she got her information from. The non-profit organization, Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) started in 1979, uses information from multiple government agencies. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2008 and 2009, reported a total of 5,740 children and teens aged 0-19, that were killed by guns. The CDF information is verified by the CDC. Center for Disease and Control (CDC), reports annually on the number of deaths in the United States. The numbers below only include deaths caused by firearms. The CDC breaks its statistics down into smaller categories. This particular report is broken down by age and also by type of gun violence. Their numbers include a larger group than the author included, which were children and teens only. By my definition, children and teens would be aged 0-19. ...

...stated that because of “loose lips” citizens could be responsible for “sunken ships,” when in reality, most of the general public were probably never in direct contact with the enemy. The claimed outcome was highly unlikely when considering the first statement. What the propaganda was meant for, was to create hatred for the enemy and build up nationalization. I think for what the phrase was truly meant for, it was a success, however, the phrase itself, if taken literally, was a failure and definitely a fallacy. “Remember the Alamo" is a non sequitur fallacy in today’s society. Originally, the phrase was used as a battle cry during the “massacres by Mexican forces at the Alamo in San Antonio.” (Answers) I believe the original rendition of the slogan was completely relevant to its said situation, but today, people use the phrase as a way to convey strength and honor in essentially any situation. In this case the slogan can be a non sequitur fallacy because the original claim usually has no correlation to what a person may be talking about. People like to use the slogan simply because it can add power to a statement, therefore making it a fallacy and unsuccessful in its purpose. “Guns don’t kill people, people do,” is a slogan from the National Rifle Association. (Lunsford) This statement is recognized as an equivocation fallacy due to the fact that it can be seen as a half-truth. Yes, guns kill people, and yes, people kill people, but is one the result of the other...

...Reflecting on Practice: using learning journals in higher and continuing education Teachers College Reflecting on Practice: using learning journals in higher and continuing education Langer (2002) central focus is plainly stated in the introduction, which is “how the use of journals impacted the learning process of adult non-traditional students and how this impact compared to that of traditional students”. The purpose of this article critique is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Langer (2002) article. The body of the critique will develop the five major elements, which begin with the research question/problem to include the author’s purpose for writing the article. The next element is the conceptual framework, followed by the methodology, results/findings of the study, and lastly the discussion. Even though the research question is stated clearly in the third sentence, the use of the terms former and latter in the introduction was somewhat ambiguous because the two comparatives were used early in the paragraph. The article mentioned traditional students, but it was unclear if they too were adults. The reviewer eventually determined that the traditional students were adults because the article stated that the computer technology certification courses were designed for adult students interested in changing their careers. Langer (2002) gave a clear purpose of his study, which was to understand the immediate and extended effects of journals as learning...

...argues that there is a significant lack of literature exploring the use of journals in enhancing the study of technical courses by nontraditional students (Langer 2000). He carries out a research to establish the effect of using scholar journals by nontraditional students undertaking computer technology classes in the University of Columbia. The scope of the study covers a population of ten students. According to the article, the sampling technique is unbiased as it has equity in gender and utilizes a random sampling method that entails selection of every tenth student in alphephetical order as per the last name. The selected group was required to submit journals to the group of researchers. The researchers sort to meet discrete objectives defined by the study. The objectives included evaluation of the journals submitted by the students and interviewing the selected students on their perception on the use of journals to improve reflection (Langer 2000). The main findings of the research carried out by Langer establishes the fact that journals have a significant influence on student reflections. The author also presents numerous benefits accrued by the students from using...

...a. Rationale for Selecting the Report: My report will focus on the practical experiences through the theoretical understanding as a Senior Officer in Scholastica. This topic is been selected to enlighten what is the work of HR inside a school. Here in this report I specifically described and focus on the HR practices of Scholastica. This topic is been selected because I want to give my audience an idea that HR is mandatory in every organization whether it is a profit or non-profit organization. From my practical learning I want to focus each and every HR practices of Scholastica. Through this process I want to explain the overall HR strategies, plans and formulations those are been implemented from words or documents into actions. Furthermore, I would also like to explain all HR activities that I have learned in my job because it will enhance the practical knowledge that I gained in my work. I bet it will bring greater heights to my HR knowledge once I am done with the formal completion of this report. However, the summary is Scholastica is a school which has a corporate body controlling the major issues of the school management including the HRM. Basically the main HR department is situated in the corporate office and follows the corporate culture. Every organization has its own culture. School is a different kind of organization which might not support the corporate culture. There lays the problem of the HR department or it might be the gap between school and HR...

...It is becoming more important for companies to establish strategic and effective supplier relationships due to the economic uncertainty throughout the global economy. Choosing new suppliers to develop long term and strategic relationships with is an essential skill that companies must master in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. New supplier development helps companies enlarge their supply base, lower product cost and service time, and optimize value. For example, some companies have products that are high mix and low volume with hundreds or even thousands of different items on the bill of material. The demand may be uncertain but each item sold has a large influence on the company’s profit. According to Michael Porter’s Five Forces, powerful suppliers capture more of the value for themselves by charging higher prices, limiting quality or services, or shifting costs to industry participants. Powerful suppliers can squeeze profitability out of an industry that is unable to pass on cost increases in its own prices. 1) Once the company is not able to leverage a competitive advantage against its current suppliers, it will attempt to switch to a new supplier which may be extremely difficult. It is essential for companies to evaluate the pros and cons before developing a relationship with a new supplier. Some companies are obsessed with trying to grow a large supply base while other companies work with incumbent suppliers to leverage long term partnerships and...

...Board: How are board members selected? Has specific criteria been established for selecting new board members? This is an important question to add to the audit because there should be a set list of criteria of what the board and the director are looking for when looking for new members. This way only the right people get the right job. Staff: How are staff members held accountable for their actions? Are there clear procedures for disciplinary action? This is an important additional audit question because all employees should be treated equally including when dealing with performance and disciplinary issues in the workplace. Clear policies would help guide managers in discipline to attempt to avoid favoritism, retaliation, or other unfair practices. This would ensure consistency. Donors and Fundraisers: If fundraising for a non-profit, are donors provided with the proper paperwork for claiming charitable deductions on their taxes? This is an important question to put on the audit if working with a non-profit organization. There should be consistent paperwork provided to donors for tax filing purposes. Clients/Customers: What is the policy on files of former clients? How long are files kept and are they properly destroyed? This is an important question to add because most of the questions are concerning current clients. There is a question about the confidentiality of clients but I do not think it covers or is clear enough about dealing with the confidentiality...

...The first organization that I selected for mission statement analysis is United Bronx Parents, Inc. There website is: http://www.ubpinc.org The current mission statement is as follows: “United Bronx Parents, Inc. (UBP) is a private, not-for profit “community grown” human services agency – providing a variety of social services in the South Bronx and on a citywide basis. Since 1965, UBP’s mission has been “To provide the basic human services necessary for families and individuals to obtain self-proficiency through dignity in their struggle to participate as the functioning and valuable citzens they are.”” The mission statement for UBP is aesthetically good and overall meaningful. It has a purpose statement, it lists the population it is working with and the activities. It also touches on its values and the geographic region it serves. However, it is longer than thirty words. To revise it I would shorten it slightly to read as such: “United Bronx Parents, Inc. is a private not for profit “community grown” human services agency providing the basic human services necessary for families and individuals in the South Bronx.” The second organization that I selected is Providence House which is the non-profit organization that provided me with my supportive housing apartment that I recently moved into since being a victim of a violent crime and subsequently homeless with my daughter for the past four years. Providence House’s URL is: http://www.providencehouse.org ...

...Non-Profit Sector in Canada The non-profit sector in Canada is one of the largest in the world, second only to Netherlands. Canada’s non-profit sector employs about 12.8% of its active economic population. Although the non-profit sector is not considered a specific industry, its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be compared to several key industries in Canada. Statistics Canada divides the Canadian non-profit sector into two: the core non-profit sector and the overall non-profit sector. The core non-profit sector excludes hospitals, universities, and colleges. Including hospitals, universities, and colleges, Canada’s non-profit sector contributes in excess of $100 billion or approximately 7% of the economy. It is estimated that core non-profit sector contributes about 4% of the national GDP, when the value of volunteer work is incorporated. Despite these impressive numbers, Canada’s non-profit sector is constantly under strain and faces various issues such as obtaining funding, recruiting volunteers and board members, and staying relevant and accountable in an ever-changing economic climate. Non-profit organizations include cultural institutions, recreational groups, social groups, environmental organizations, human rights groups, and community organizations. Non-profit organizations are viewed favourably by Canadians; 79% of Canadians think non-profit organizations understand the needs of Canadians better than the government. The non-profit sector in Canada will only continue...

...Difference between non executive director and executive Executive directors are concerned with the actual management. Non- executive do not have executive management responsibilities but are concerned with general management policy and monitoring of executive director. Both owe the same duties to the company (s170- s177) Non- executive director According the Code, the board should include an appropriate combination of executive and non- executive directors, so that not any individual or small group of individuals dominates the boards’ decision making. It should have the appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the company to enable them to discharge their respective duties and responsibilities. With respect to the appointment procedure, non should be selected through a formal process. Any term beyond 6 years should be subject to particularly rigorous review and should take into account the need for progressive refreshing the board. The Code recommends that at least half of the members of the board, excluding the chairman, should be independent non. A smaller company should have at least 2 non. The Code, non-executive directors should be capable of providing an independent view of the board and challenging or questions the executive decisions. The presence of independent non-executive directors on the board can mitigate agency costs. The board now is required to identify in the annual report each non-executive director it considers...
