...Student Name Ian G. Student ID Lecturer Submission Date University What is the effect of cultural and social-economic differences on access to health care education? Access to health care education is a must for everyone. This is more important when cultural and social-economic differences are minimal. However, this is a difficult thing to achieve in entirety. Health care education is such a big issue that it can only look forward to assistance from the cultural and social-economic quarters. This is a disparity that the facilitation does not seem to come in an easy way mostly due to the attitudes of the people related with imparting the health care education. The effect of these differences mean that the people suffer whilst receiving health care education which in turn implicates for lack of proper and sound health care understanding within the society (Mangles, 1993). The role of the health care personnel is to make sure that the people do not suffer and they are given adequate levels of health care assistance in the form of such educational domains. These people have to decide what can be deemed as acceptable and where the line needs to be drawn as far as the unacceptable realms are related. When culturally distinctive individuals are given health care education, there are certain ambiguities in the wake of understanding how people are segregated on the basis of their locality, region to where they belong and so on (Horder...

...Unintentional plagiarism, while still not acceptable, is less morally reprehensible than intentional plagiarism. Both are unfortunately commonplace in academia, but mistakes in the meticulous process of citing work are more easily forgiven, or should be, than the intentional use of someone else’s work without due attribution. Both types of plagiarism can be avoided by allowing adequate time to plan and write the assigned work. The citation process, for any given format, but MLA in particular, can be confusing at first, especially as guidelines change every few years. However, many resources exist, explaining clearly how to cite any type of source. A little research will soon turn up the proper way to cite something and avoid plagiarism. That being said, it is understandable that mistakes could be made. If they happen to fall through the cracks of a proofread, this is less objectionable than an obvious attempt to claim someone else’s work. An honest mistake is understandable, if avoidable and indicative of sloppiness. Intentional plagiarism is much more offensive than accidental plagiarism, as it shows a clear intent to deceive. Intentional plagiarism stems ultimately from laziness, and sometimes from desperation. The plagiarizer has deemed it worth the risk to copy someone else, either because they lack the motivation to come up with something on their own, or because he or she feels they will not be able to produce something sufficiently up to par. Discerning between intentional...

...ADMINISTRATIVE ETHICS PAPER With all the crackdowns and enforcement of HIPAA there are not all that many violations in the news worth telling of. The article I found most interesting however was in HealthData Management. It told the story of how a pharmacy in Denver was recently fined for ignoring the standards HIPAA outlines with regard the proper way to dispose of PHI. 1 Historically speaking improper disposal of PHI, be it inadvertence, inconvenient or just plain negligence is the leading cause of improper or unauthorized disclosure of health information. Unauthorized disclosures have an impact on absolutely everyone involved. The patient whose information was released, the employee(s) who made the disclosure, the company the employee(s) work for and all of their peers. HIPAA spells out in no uncertain terms the proper way to dispose of records. We must as health care professionals abide by these laws to safeguard our patient’s personal information. We must ensure that 1.any information that relates to the past, present or future condition of our patient is absolutely destroyed. 2. Any information that could identify the patient in any way must also be destroyed. 3. All prescription pads, notebooks, cd’s x-rays or anything that can be used to hurt the business or your patient must all be destroyed. 2. Anyone whose information is improperly disclosed feels a sense of uncertainty, insecurity and a bit violated. They wonder what exactly was disclosed, who got their information...

...Running head: Discipline and Management Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related Grand Canyon University: EDU-450 March2012 Discipline and Management: Different Yet Related One of the most important things that a teacher can do to be effective is to manage his or her classroom. Educators must learn how to manage their classrooms and how to discipline the students. Teachers must know the definitions of discipline, management, behavior and misbehavior in order to know how to identify and handle different discipline and behavior problems in the correct way. A teacher must have a well-managed classroom in order to teach students effectively. Discipline is defined as the act or manner of managing; handling, direction, or control. (A.U, 2012). On the first day of class the teacher needs to establish the rules, and have order in their classroom. Then the instructor should maintain the order in the classroom during all times. Classroom management has to do with procedures, routines, and structure (Marshall, 2010). The teacher should create a plan for managing the classroom. Managing the classroom requires teachers to create a routine of how they give instruction, how they switch from one lesson to the next, and how they handle discipline problems. Teachers should also discipline the students who do not follow the rules so that it would create a safe learning environment for the students as well as him or her self when the classroom is managed...

...Dominique Lofton The Exceptions: IV- Act of the Shipper case study My case study will be over the act of the shipper that is discussed in chapter 9. It brought up some very interesting information on who is, or will be held liable if any damages, loss, and delay happens to the freight. So when it’s an act of the shipper the carrier will not be held liable. I will give you examples and also discuss when the act of a shipper reduces a carrier liability. Before I get into the exceptions I first must give you the general rule so that you can better understand what the exceptions are for act of the shipper. If there were any damage, delay, or loss because of the negligence or oversight of the shipper, consignee or any other party with a legal right to exercise authority over the freight, the carrier cannot be found liable. The shipper in this instance is the carrier. That is the company that gets goods from point A to point B. It can be a car, bus, van, train, or plane. In legal terms the meaning of shipper says that the carrier is not liable for any losses, damages, or delays as a result of acts or omissions by a person, consignor, consignee and whomever else physically handles the goods in that capacity. When this exception is used most often is when there have been some alleged deficiencies in either the loading by the consignor or the rare situation of unloading by the consignee. Another example of when this exception could be used is when the freight is packaged or other...

...Duke Energy makes life better for millions of people every day by providing electric and gas services in a sustainable way - affordable, reliable, and clean (quote www.duke-energy.com/about-us ). They became America's largest electric utility with 7.2 million suscribers after a merger with Progress Energy according to the New York Times. The article Duke Energy's Corporate Incompetence - or Fraud? consists of charges that Duke Energy gained hundreds of millions of dollars from charging improper rates and passing inappropriate expenses on to its small user customer base. The introduction of the article starts, either Duke Energy's accountants are grossly incompetent or the corporation has deliberately sought to improperly charge North Carolina's customers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The first point of analysis is Duke Energy's attempt at overcharging customers and the North Carolina Utilities Comission Public Staff allowing them to circumvent penalties. Duke Energy ended up negotiating a secret deal with the public staff in which they overlooked the overcharges they caught, set minimum profit range higher than needed, and gave money back that they overcharged. The issue being raised is how this unethical deal-making is an abuse of the customers that the company is supposed to service. Another point of scrutiny is Duke Energy has a rate rigging scheme that charges small customers unfairly each year for power plants and power lines used by Duke's largest customers...

...The American Trucking Company has recently been experiencing an increase in stolen loads—a loaded tractor/trailer is stolen and the load sold. Loads of merchandise are often worth thousands of dollars, sometimes exceeding the value of the tractor/trailer. American Trucking, while wishing to recover both the load and equipment, seeks a way to locate the tractor/trailer at all times so they can dispatch their security team to retrieve the load before it is sold on the black market (as well as to retrieve the truck/trailer before it is vandalized). They have engaged the services of Truck Locators, a provider of locating services to the trucking industry. Truck Locator’s Truck Finder services is a one-way messaging service that routes messages from the truck on the road to the trucking companies offices. The trucking company is provided with detailed information: GPS location of both the tractor and the trailer, speed of the truck/trailer, whether the trailer doors are open, how much weight is the trailer carrying, etc. Truck Locator’s installs a dedicated hardware unit on the truck and the trailer before the Truck Finder service can be used. Customers generally sign two contracts, one governing the dale of the hardware (devices) and the other providing the provision of the service. Service contracts generally have a duration of 12 months and are billed monthly. Service and devices are sold at standard rates, but discounts are offered depending on the number of units purchased...

...from the realm of possibility, and it is understandable that he would refuse to undertakes such a task for one whom his is not close to. Johnson’s use of “madam” alerts the mother from the first word that her request is unfitting and will not be granted. Johnson goes on to use personification and a metaphor to describe hope and hope lost. In this letter, hope represents the mother, her desire being “the chief happiness which this world affords,” but her request of Johnson being one of many “expectations improperly indulged” which lead to misery. Again, Johnson attempts to be polite to the mother, sparing her from feeling the pain of his indignation alongside the pain of his refusal, but warning her that her request was out of line and “improper.” Johnson remains unwilling to comply and clearly displays this to the supplicating mother. His tone in the last few sentences of the first paragraph further conveys the impropriety of her request, repetition creating emphasis. Johnson becomes direct, thrice writing “it is an expectation,” speaking of her request, followed with a reason her expectation of Johnson’s aid is unreasonable. Johnson’s rhetoric politely shows the mother to her err and immediately denies her request. After denying the mother’s request and refusing her gently, Johnson banishes all thought she had of imploring him to change his mind by writing a rebuke of her action. He repeats “whom I never” and “which I had no means” in parallel structure to link the absurdity...

...Improper binding is a huge problem within the LGBT+ community. Everyday, teens and young adults use improper binding methods such as using an ace bandage, duct tape, and improper binders. Ill fitting binders are also a problem within this community. So many of today's youth are severely injured by binding improperly. Now, if you're not familiar with the the term "binding", I'll share some knowledge. Binding is the act of using a garment or something of the sort to flatten one's breasts to achieve a flat look. The proper way to do so is to use a professional binder, but other's use improper methods. These improper methods are, as I've stated before, duct tape, ace bandages, ripped cloth, and a whole array of other methods. Using these...

...lifestyle complete with furs, jewelry and high-end clothing. Sachdeva embezzled the funds through a variety of means, including fraudulent cashier and traveler’s checks, fraudulent wire transfers, and unauthorized payments from petty cash. The Company further alleged that Grant Thornton, the company's auditor during those same years, failed to properly conduct its audits of the company's financial statements and failed to properly assess the company's internal controls, thus allowing the embezzlement to continue and the damage to the company to escalate. In particular, it claimed that Grant Thornton repeatedly assured Koss' management and its board that the company's internal controls were effective and that Koss could rely on those same internal controls and Grant Thornton's work. Grant Thornton fails to properly investigate, audit and report to the Koss board of directors and audit committee on Sachdeva’s embezzlement and fraud through (i) improper use of cashier’s checks drawn on Company accounts at Park Bank;(ii) improper wire transfers from company accounts at LaSalle National Bank;(iii) the improper use of traveler’s checks;(iv) the improper use of manual checks drawn on company accounts at Park Bank. Grant Thornton recklessly disregarded, or was negligent in not apprehending, the manipulation and fraudulent use by Sachdeva, and the concomitant waste, diversion and damage to Koss in material monetary amounts. Also, Grant Thornton made false reckless and/or...
