...wrong? The appellate court system, up to the United States Supreme Court, was created to protect citizens rights. However, the courts have found, that under certain circumstances the government is capable of executing a search or seizure without a warrant as the Fourth Amendment so requires. This paper addresses exigent circumstances to search and seizure. Exigent Circumstances to Search and Seizure The Fourth Amendment to The Constitution of the United States The Constitution of the United States is the basic document that governs the citizens of the United States of America. The framers of the Constitution wrote it with deep emotions in response to how the American Colonies had been treated under the British Crown. The Fourth Amendment, in particular, to protect citizens from unreasonable search and seizure, was written in response to how the colonist had been subject to writs of assistance, which were warrants that British Customs Officers and soldiers wrote themselves to search colonist’s homes and offices (Hentoff, 2011). The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is as follow: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or...

...Age Discrimination in the Workplace George Siler Human Resource Age Discrimination in the workplace Paul is a skilled welder and has been with the same company for over 40 years. All employees from the owner to the janitor know of his contributions that have allowed the organization to flourish. You see, Paul was a specialized welder that was able to accomplish government contracts that allowed the factory to remain open during the past recession. As he was approaching his sixty-second birthday that was attended by co-workers, supervisors and even the owner attended his party to honor this impressive worker. During this time, the owner decided that the time was right to hire a young worker to be trained by Paul to continue the specialized production for the distant future. This was a prudent decision, because all owners and CEO’S have a primary responsibility to improve the bottom line. I know this is true because every business course that I have had this is the message provided by my professors. This story then takes a turn for the worst. Paul trains the young worker, and then the owner thinks why am I paying two people for the same job? Who do you think gets his walking papers? Paul is clearly a victim of age discrimination. Like most of the labor force he is ignorant of the law and becomes one of the many of unreported cases of this abuse of power. In order to help protect those who stand to be singled out and let go because of the unfairness of ageism, the Age...

It is require skilled manager who can communicate effectively, attend to employee queries, be creative and innovative, plan and delegate task and always follow up with problems solving. This article would be a helpful resource for my research paper because it demonstrates the real and recent research from (Hebda, Vojak, Griffin, & Price, 2007- Motivating technical visionaries in large American Companies) which indicated that the most important motivator was time provided by the management to solve the complex issues. It shows that the leaders need to plan and make fast decision making and create a work environment that bring forth employee motivation. It is reliable as the authors use a lot of reference sources to support the conclusions. This journal article is written by three very experience authors. Ann Gilley is an associate professor of management at Ferris State University where she teaches strategy and management. Her areas of research include change, the organizational immune system, and managerial malpractice. Jerry W.

Facebook Student Name: David Yew-Choong KAM Student ID: 09876307. 1 WHY do people use Facebook? Whether it's for posting updates, reposting articles, checking in locations/whereabouts, or playing Farmville – people participate in Facebook to stay connected, to relax, to be entertained, and to be kept informed (Bond, Ferraro, Luxton and Sands 2010, 4; Piskorski, Eisenmann and Smith 2012, 2). Some might even use it to spy on their partners, triggered possibly by romantic jealousy (Darvell, Walsh and White, 2011; Elphinston and Noller 2011, 631). Others use it as a platform to advance various social and political causes by creating public Facebook pages. Lynas is an Australian listed company with ambitions to process rare earths in Malaysia. Concerned about the carcinogenic effects of the post production waste, multiple Stop Lynas Save Malaysia (SLSM in short) Facebook pages have been created by various Malaysian green groups (Stop Lynas, Save Malaysia Facebook page, 2013). The resultant groundswell and widespread publicity on mainstream media could have well contributed to the share price slide over the last two years (Lynas Corporation Price Quotes, 2013). This case as well as the iconic Arab spring uprising in Egypt & Tunisia has clearly demonstrated the edge that Facebook has given to the small man on the street...

...1. Discuss the concept of vertical relations between firms and present a case study to illustrate it. This paper will be looking at vertical relations between companies, putting an emphasis on supply relations, vertical integration and hybrids, illustrating the theory with multiple examples in order to better explain the concepts. Vertical relations refer to a logical and natural association between two or more entities as well as their relevance to one another and the linkages in between. This concept can be easily transposed into the business world, as the interdependence amongst companies is a state of fact in the vast majority of cases. As a matter of fact, it is a general truth that companies only achieve self-sufficiency after integrating all links of the supply chain. Even so, there are still operations that need to be outsourced due to a wide variety of reasons (lack of certain competences/”know-how”, geographical restraints, financial feasibility, time concerns, etc.). More precisely, vertical relations refer to the rapport between two companies in the sequence along the value chain, where there can be one (or multiple) upstream company and multiple (or one) downstream companies. Although the typical characterization of the rapport between a company and the market is a direct one (where the firm sells directly to the end consumer), it is generally not the case. In the most familiar scenarios it is considered that the producer would retain...

...Evidence To what extent has the use of technology in evidence altered our understanding of adversarialism? What is adversarialism? The adversarial system is the two-sided structure under which criminal trial courts in the UK operate. There are four prominent structural features of the English adversarial system. Firstly, the parties dominate the conduct of proceedings with the judge playing a relatively passive role. Secondly, the parties are free to choose the terrain on which to fight out their legal battles and to select their forensic weapons. Thirdly, Trials are continuous, oral and public events. Fourthly, the imbalance of power between the state and the accused is ameliorated by rules and principles reducing inequality of arms. High level definitions or at least descriptions of the adversarial system abound such as that of Lord Denning in Jones v The National Coal Board.They are all to the effect that the judge is a passive and neutral umpire who cannot descend into the arena for fear of having his or her judgement clouded. The adversarial system is said to be the most efficient means of arriving at approximate truth because it harnesses the power of self-interest on each side to unearth the best evidence. Similarly the best legal arguments are thought to emerge from the clash of advocate’s submission on the law. A classic quotation is that of Lord Eldon in Ex Parte Lloyd that ‘truth is best discovered by powerful statements on both sides of the question.’ This...

...Theodore H. Poister Obed Q. Pasha Georgia State University Lauren Hamilton Edwards Sam Houston State University Does Performance Management Lead to Better Outcomes? Evidence from the U.S. Public Transit Industry Although performance management processes are widely assumed to be beneficial in improving organizational performance in the public sector, there is insufficient empirical evidence to back this claim. In this article, the authors examine the impact of performance management practices on organizational effectiveness in a particular segment of the public transit industry in the United States. The analysis utilizes original survey data on performance management practices comprising both strategy formulation and performance measurement in 88 small and medium-sized local transit agencies in conjunction with comparative outcome data drawn from the National Transit Database maintained by the Federal Transit Administration. The results provide evidence that more extensive use of performance management practices does in fact contribute to increased effectiveness in this segment of the transit industry. O ver the past 20 years, some of the biggest questions of public management have revolved around performance management, the process of establishing goals for an agency or program, and then using performance information to help manage effectively so as to achieve those goals (Behn 1995; Moynihan and Landuyt 2009; Moynihan and Pandey 2010). In the public sector, performance...

...MEMORY-WORK: AN INTRODUCTION Jennie Small University of Technology, Sydney Research methodology, from the perspective of Critical social science, is considered as: inherently political, as inescapably tied to issues of power and legitimacy. It is assumed that methods are permeated with assumptions about what the social world is, who the social scientist is, and what the nature of the relation between them is (Lather, 1991, p.12). Critical social science moves away from description of behaviour as enduring social fact to attempting to understand how behaviour is produced, thus recasting behaviour as “the effects of contingent and contested processes of change” (Churchman, 2000, p.100 citing Scott). Feminists and those working within a social constructionist paradigm have debated whether there are research methods specific to such approaches. In other words, is there a social constructionist or feminist method? Schwandt (1994), in discussing constructivist, interpretivist approaches to human enquiry, commented that “what is unusual about the approaches cannot be explained through an examination of their methods. They are principally concerned with matters of knowing and being, not method per se” (p.118). Feminists have also considered that it is the methodology and outcomes rather than the methods which define the research as being feminist. Nonetheless, while feminists have adopted a variety of methods, they have tended to prefer qualitative...

Bacteria and Parasites By Victor Banks Melanie Crow COM 155 4/2/13 Bacteria and parasites are both specific types of organisms that are able to have affect on a humans body, but parasites have a greater increase in harming a human being rather than a bacteria. While the exact origin of bacteria remains a matter of speculation, it is clear that they are among the oldest and most adaptable organisms on Earth. Over three and a half billion years ago the earth was an inhospitable planet characterized by a landscape of active volcanoes in an atmosphere with hardly any oxygen, as far as we know the first life forms to be on Earth were simple organisms that closely resembled present day bacteria and did not depend on atmospheric oxygen or survival. Eventually in the shallow waters of primitive earth photosynthetic microorganisms...

...7/26/12 Final Research Paper Birth Control and Its importance for Women Rights Women for centuries have been subjugated to men, and it’s hard to believe but there was a time in history in this country when women didn’t have any rights. Women couldn’t speak in public without the permission of men and were only looked to for bearing children, while taking care of the home. Throughout history women have fought for their rights with movements like the suffrage and birth control movements. The birth control unlike the suffrage movement is still an ongoing battle, even though women have the right to contraception, but many women don’t have access to because of certain state’s government have laws limiting that access to birth control. By the government controlling women’s access to birth control they are controlling the liberty for women. Birth control has been a very controversial topic and taboo since the classical period. Before one can grasp why and how birth control and the use of birth control can be controversial, one will need to understand what birth control is and the history. First, birth control should be viewed as a woman’s basic right that goes hand in hand with her first amendment right, and without any interference from the government. The all encompassing question is what is birth control? Birth control is a practice, material, or device by which sexual intercourse can be rendered incapable of producing a pregnancy (Walker 161). While birth...
