Hunt, Jennifer and Peter K. Manning. “Symbolic Interaction” 14.1 (1991): 51-70-Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction Lies are relative to a moral context, and what an audience will accept. Police learn to lie and to carefully distinguish normal (or acceptable) lies from unacceptable lies, suggesting that lies are a part of a negotiated occupational order. This study reports and analyzes two kinds of troublesome lies: case lies, recognized stories an officer utilizes in a courtroom or on paper to facilitate the conviction of a suspect, and cover stories, lies an officer tells in court, to supervisors, and on the job with the aim of providing a verbal shield or mitigation in the event of discipline.

...Electronic Medical Records HCS/320 August 5, 2011 Electronic Medical Records Health care organizations have changed drastically over the years. Technology has made it more advanced than ever before. New technology has affected the way of health care communication. This paper has been written to show how efficient and effective communication is with electronic medical records, its advantages and disadvantages, its influence on consumers, and the electronic medical records short- and long-term financial impact on organizations. An electronic medical record (EMR) is a computerized medical record created in an organization that delivers care, such as a hospital or physician's office. Electronic medical records tend to be a part of a local stand-alone health information system that allows storage, retrieval, and modification of records (Wikipedia, 2011). Efficient and Effective Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are increasingly used in health care organizations in general and ambulatory settings in particular. Electronic medical records include comprehensive documentation of a patient’s medical history, easy access to medical data from remote sites, improved communication among the various providers involved in health care, easy access to medical information and state of the art resources over the Internet (medical journals, guidelines, evidence-based medicine databases, medication databases,) and clinical decision support. A recent systematic literature review suggests...

...Whistleblowing: Necessary Evil or Good Thing Maureen Haley University of North Carolina – Asheville April 16, 2014 This paper was prepared for Management 484-001, taught by Professor Donald D. Lisnerski Whistleblowing: Necessary Evil or Good Thing Is whistleblowing a necessary evil or good thing? Can whistleblowing be avoided? Can the whistleblower be protected? “A whistleblower is an employee who discovers corporate misconduct and chooses to bring it to the attention of others.”(Ghillyer, 2014) Whistleblowers can be viewed as providing a praiseworthy act or be severely labeled as informers who have breached the loyalty of their co-workers and company. Whistleblowing can be a service to the community and public. Whistleblowing can be ethical or unethical, and the whistleblower discovering corporate misconduct has the options to be an internal or an external whistleblower. Whistleblowing can save people’s lives. Dr. Jeffrey Wigand made the decision to go public with information that his employer Brown & Williamson (B&W) was manipulating the nicotine content, suppressed efforts to develop safer cigarettes, and lied about the addictive properties of nicotine. According to Sissela Bok, in the book Taking Sides: Clashing views in Business Ethics and Society, “not only is loyalty violated in whistleblowing, hierarchy as well is often opposed, since the whistleblower is not only a colleague but a subordinate. Though aware of the risks inherent in such disobedience...

...Anthony Luchs Professor Ryan Pierson ENGFLM0200 12/3/13 Blade Runner: Proves Neo-Noir is Not a Genre Comparable films fall into the same genre if they include comparable traits. The qualities of the film have to be recognizable, distinct, clustered and transferable. A genre is when the films that are a part of it have these sortable qualities. When films have similar recognizable qualities it means that they have identifiably parallel traits with other films of the same genre. If a film has distinct qualities it means that it cannot include definable traits from other genres. A film with clustered traits has a bunch of associated things that would go on in the same genre. Transferable traits in a film mean that the traits can interchange between film varieties and styles. Neo-noir is a type of movie in which critics often argue whether it is more of a style than a genre because as Paul Schrader says it is, “not defined, as are the western and gangster genres, by conventions of setting and conflict, but rather by the more subtle qualities of tone and mood” (Schrader). Neo-noir movies are known for their dream/nightmare like worlds in which authority is chasing crime. In these dark, unknowing worlds the complex characters endure violence and eroticism in life or death situation (Silver). In Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982) he has shown that neo-noir can be translated through any genre. He did this by proving it is more of a style because it is limited to technical elements...

...THE MOONSTONE by Wilkie Collins THE AUTHOR William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) was born in London, the son of a successful landscape painter and member of the Royal Academy, who was also very strict with both his religion and his money. While his son inherited much of his father’s parsimony, he rebelled against the strict morality of his upbringing, and against Victorian morality in general. After the death of his father, he scandalized his family and friends by setting up housekeeping with Caroline Graves, a young woman who already had a daughter, and presumably a husband. Even when the opportunity presented itself later in life, he refused to marry her, encouraged her to marry another man, and then moved in with her again when that marriage failed. In the meantime, he kept a mistress on the side, Martha Rudd, by whom he had three children. At his death, he divided his estate equally between his two mistresses and two families. Through much of his life, he was plagued by bad health. He was small and somewhat deformed, and rheumatism contracted in his thirties caused him to take increasingly-large doses of laudanum. He himself admitted that he was a bit of a hypochondriac, and eventually became a recluse much like Frederick Fairlie in The Woman in White. To please his parents, he tried the tea business for five years and later studied law, but had no love for either pursuit. He was drawn to the arts, as was his brother Charles, who for a time worked among...

...Running head: DIGITAL FREEDOM FIGHTERS Digital Freedom Fighters: Defending Free Speech in the 21st Century Abstract Many forms of speech have been contested over the course of time with many being banned, but comic books have been the target of many critics over the 75 year time span of publication. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that free speech should not be impeded. Many organizations, including the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, are continuing the legal battle of insuring the right of free speech remains unencumbered. Digital Freedom Fighters: Defending Free Speech in the 21st Century Introduction Comic books have been published for over 75 years with a varied subject matter including superhumans, gods, soldiers, historical events and animals. Originally conceived as a child’s reading fodder, comics have evolved beyond the original audience. A recent study found that over 98% of comic book readers are over the age of 18. (Pantozzi, 2012) No longer an art form exclusively for children, comics have been the target of many censorship attacks. With the advent of 21st century technology, comic books have evolved and the criticisms have evolved with them. Newer challenges to this form of speech can sometimes be overwhelming, but there are many organizations which are focused on protecting these freedoms. These are the digital freedom fighters. They are a safeguard against...

An FBI agent examines a potentially contaminated letter during a white powder training exercise. 2012 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III For the FBI and its partners, 2012 was a year that reminded us once again of the seriousness of the security threats facing our nation. During the year, extremists plotted to attack—unsuccessfully, thanks to the work of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces—the U.S. Capitol, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and other landmarks on U.S. soil. Tragically, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hateful attack in Benghazi took the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. In the cyber realm, a rising tide of hackers took electronic aim at global cyber infrastructure, causing untold damages. High-dollar white-collar crimes of all kinds also continued to siphon significant sums from the pocketbooks of consumers. And in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 young children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, ending a year of violence that saw similar tragedies around the country. Working with its colleagues around the globe, the FBI is committed to taking a leadership role in protecting the nation. As you can see from...
