...Race and Your Community: Knoxville, Tennessee John Smith Date Aixa College ETH 125 The community of Knoxville is extremely small. A larger amount of the Tennessee population consists of several minority groups. Within my location the residency is composed of mostly Blacks and Whites; I have recently found out that the two groups do not have much differences between the two. As there have been identified, there are several differences between these two groups and the Hispanics, Asians, and Filipinos. Traveling through the City of Knoxville, it is easily noticeable and obvious that the Whites and Blacks are obligated to a higher standard of living; the nicer vehicles and larger houses is the proof of this statement. Throughout the city of Knoxville, I have experienced that although there are numerous differences that are easily noticeable between the different races and ethnicities, the unifying of all groups occur when required because of our common ethics and principles. Each group within the community to which I were raised, correlate and empathize in contradictory ways; however, a general respect for another is displayed by all and the thoughtfulness for each person throughout the community’s miscellaneous ways of living are revealed. Within my community, there is a resemblance bearded of me in observations to color as an outcome of me being white and residing within a community in which many of the residents are of the black...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction A job is a piece of work or task that is assigned to a person with an agreed price or amount of salary. Having a stable job is one thing that every person strives for. It means having something that would help sustain not only the family’s basic needs for everyday life but also to secure one’s future. Unemployment is a stressful life event that can lead to financial difficulties, depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, and increased substance use. (Wanberg 1999). It results to emotional health problems due to depression and anxiety as well as low self esteem and lose of respect from other people due to the inability to support one’s self and his family. In order to be employed, one of the most common requirements of an employer or a business establishment is that a person applying for work should be of good moral character. In most cases, a job applicant is required to secure clearances from either the National Bureau of Investigation or the Philippine National Police. The clearances serve as certificate of good moral character and behavior. The clearance reveals if a person has a clean police record or if he/she has been already convicted of a crime. The employment situations of ex-convicts are a different story because the certificate secured from the said law enforcement agency reveals that the applicant has a bad record on file. Employers tend to reject people with a criminal record for...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS Background Introduction The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack of the World Trade Center in New York City, USA directly caused the death of more than three thousand innocent civilians when two hijacked jetliners deliberately slammed against the twin towers that used to be a testament to the United States’ economic clout. On the same day, two other hijacked airliners were flown to other targets, one of which was the Pentagon, the seat of America’s military might, while the fourth aircraft crashed in a Pennsylvania field, believed to have been due to its passengers fighting back to regain control. While these incidents are certainly not the latest terrorist attacks against civil aviation, these attacks are significant in the sense that its aftermath truly changed the course of history of many nations and radically changed the lifestyles of many peoples. The earliest recorded terrorist act was on September 9, 1949, when a bomb was placed and exploded in a Quebec Airways flight in Canada. Since that first recorded aviation security breach, security experts had been trying to be one step ahead of the terror groups in hardening aircraft and airport targets against all forms of terrorist attacks. However, on July 22, 1968, three gunmen from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), hijacked a passenger airliner of the Israeli airline El Al, on a flight from Rome to Tel-Aviv, and demanded the release of their comrades-in-arms who were...

...Please elaborate and give details. William Clark: Yes, no problem Dawson it my pleasure to be able to share my experiences with the American people. The Lewis and Clark expedition, as it is now being referred to was by far my most remarkable accomplishment. In my humble opinion I feel that it will be remembered as a significant part of American history and I was honored to have been a part of it. Hopefully, my fellow members of the Corps of Discovery and I have left our legacy in our god given country of the United States. Exploring the uncharted of the Louisiana Purchase was an equally terrifying and rewarding experience. Our expedition was incredibly successful but wasn’t without it’s obstacles. Throughout the course of our expiation we encountered various geographical challenges, bad weather, hostile animals, and encounters with Native Americans. Our inability to find a Northwest water passage complicated our expedition. We had initially anticipated that we would find a short easy water passage soon after leaving Missouri. When this wasn’t the case we encountered some rough situations and didn’t know what to expect going forward with the expedition. We encountered a lot of hardships when, making our...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Usage of papers in the organization is greatly reduced by using updated information and database systems. As the digitalization of documents and processes is in pursuit, the cost of administrative maintenance diminishes. This could allocate more resources for use in the distribution of other valuable social goods. Transaction time with the administration is shortened. Efficient service provision requires having the right services delivered to the right people, and delivered fast when the people need it most. These perks would not be present without IT, which serves part of the realization of company’s good governance. (Magno & Serafica, 2006) Good Governance is the manner in which power is exercised in the management of a country’s economic and social resources for development. The essence of good governance was described as predictable, open and enlightened policy, together with a bureaucracy imbued with a professional ethos and an executive arm of the policy-making bodies accountable for its actions (The World Bank Group, 2005). IT promotes good governance in three basic ways: (1) by increasing transparency, information, and accountability; (2) by facilitating accurate decision-making and public participation; and (3) by enhancing the efficient delivery of public goods and services. The use of IT could enable the organization, as well as the public, to inform their rights and privileges. Background of the Study Coreware...

...medical schools across the world. These schools are now trying to appeal to the international student in addition to the country's local citizens. They are doing so by promoting cheaper education, providing grants for eligible foreign students, and accommodating foreign students' language and academic needs. They are also purchasing the curriculums and accreditations of western schools to make their schools more appealing. There is question, however, if these schools are well equipped to train the international physician. It is a concern to many that these schools cannot truly train a physician to practice anywhere in the world. Many believe that medical schools are aiming to increase revenue at the sacrifice for producing inadequately trained medical personnel that can operate in any area of the world after graduation. There are some that propose a universally acceptable medical school curriculum that all medical schools must abide to maintain accreditation to address this issue. Composing such a curriculum, however, is an extremely difficult to accomplish. Educational methods in different areas of the world differ based on the local culture. The foreign students, unfamiliar with the language, teaching methods, and culture of the host country, often struggle in their studies and have lower rates of graduation then those who are of local origin. There has not yet been determined how to creating a global medical school curriculum while still being sensitive to the different...
