...Debate Summary Amanda Missick, Karla Castillo, Kimberly Archuleta, and Kimberly Arzate BCOM 275 April 2, 2015 John Kungis Debate Summary Throughout the debate we chose to discuss the Chris Kyle murder case where Eddie Routh was convicted for the brutal murder of Chris Kyle, former Navy Seal, and his comrade Chad Littlefield. As the debate summary we decided to go with the pro side of the argument, which includes; Eddie Routh's history of mental disorders, how he fled the scene, and the sentence given to him for his murder charge. Not only did this topic make us have different opinions amongst each other, but made us open our minds to different views. Even though as a team we had our disagreements and different believes on the topic, we came together for the final decision of the debate. We believed that the murder trial of Chris Kyle was justly sentenced. Even though Eddie was facing a low point in his life we believe his alcohol abuse, violent behavior and strange conduct were contributing factors that led to his mental state. Living in a city with one of the biggest military bases in the country, we all in different ways are related to military personnel. Some of us personally know veterans with PTSD. It was discussed during our meetings that it normally takes more than a shooting range to trigger someone to relive those experiences that only veterans have experienced. We are devastated that this incident turned out the way it did, ending the life of not only the...

...Pros More coverage. Coverage will expand to cover nearly 95 percent of legal U.S. residents. With a recent study showing that patients without health insurance have a shorter life span, coupled with the number of uninsured approaching 50 million in 2010, that is perhaps the biggest reason to cheer. A more competitive insurance industry. Increased regulation will stop insurance companies from rigging prices–that recent 40% insurance premium increase in California comes to mind. Competition with newly formed public entities will ideally make the entire industry more competitive. Also, insurance companies are now required to post their balance sheets, executive compensation, and administrative costs online. Insurance companies will have to accept everyone. No more pre-existing condition exclusions. They can’t place limits on coverage anymore, either. Cheaper prescriptions for seniors. It’s reform. We need reform. We’re in a situation where healthcare is even becoming unaffordable to employers, leaving employees with higher out-of-pocket expenses even if they’re ensured. Healthcare costs have jettisoned innumerable people from the middle class. People get sick and die because insurers won’t take them. This isn’t functional. Any kind of reform helps. Cons Cuts in Medicare. The elderly on Medicare will see their benefits changed dramatically. The biggest item being used to pay for the new program is more than $500 billion in cuts to the program at a time when 72...

...Advantages When properly applied to large production systems, Scientific Management could greatly increase productivity. For instance, at Bethlehem Iron, Taylor increased production over 350% and reduced workers by 70% by increasing the shovel size. He promoted rationalization to create prospering organizations. Taylor believed that his principles resulted in a win-win situation for workers and managers and overcame this conflict-driven relationship. Taylor spoke of '.... an emphasis on harmony, not the discord of competition'. He regarded the interests of workers and manager as mutually dependent and that improving organizational efficiency led to wage increases. Taylor provided a justification for management by being the first to describe management as a profession and providing practical tools for managers to better control their organizations. He broke the power of craftsmanship and handed it to managers as guardians of organizations. Taylor's methodology was the first to use statistical control to analyze work and provided a basis for time motion studies, an essential tool in job design efforts. He paved the way for the development of Ford's T-Ford assembly line in the 1920s. Taylor laid the foundation for separating the "staff" and "line" functions required to run large organizations. His intent was to solve the issue of conflicting instructions by setting up specialized departments responsible for work study, personnel, maintenance and quality control. His ideas were...

...Our recommendations of two wireless technologies are WLAN and Wi-fi. With WLAN it would service as a platform, which adds mobility to business solutions. What the WLAN does that would be beneficial to our business is that the WLAN would be integrated within intermountain wired network, it would also support a large range of devices and applications and would also offer centralized network management services. WIFI would also be a great asset due to its mobility. Wi-Fi is ideal due to not having any cables, which is basically wired LAN. The wifi wireless technology would provide an Internet connection giving users access to a small geographical perimeter giving about 100 feet access. This type of service would allow us to communicate wirelessly, mobile devices such As laptops and desktops. A Wireless local area network or a WLAN is the use of high frequency radio waves along with the use of an internet access point device allowing two or more devices to get reception and internet access without being wired to anything. The advantage of this is that the user can keep a connection while moving around the office because it is wireless. It is much easier to incorporate additional devices to the WLAN since there is no wires attached, however, the downfall is that it is not always the most secure or reliable method as. Wifi is a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to grant access to the internet on multiple devices at a high speed level. The advantages of having...

...Cloning is not new and experiments with frogs and toads date back to the 1970s . Experiments involving plants and animal embryos have been performed for years, yet experiments involving human beings have never been tried or thought possible, until "Dolly". Her birth shocked the scientific community and has spurred discussion about the possibility of human clones. In the following essay I am going to speak about the subject of Human Cloning, its pros and cons, and speak against the following issues. Pros of Human Cloning Prior to arguing against the human cloning it is imperative to note the positives of this genetic technology. Human cloning will allow doctors to determine the cause of spontaneous abortions, give oncologists an understanding of the rapid cell growth of cancer, allow the use of stem cells to regenerate nerve tissues, and advance work on aging, genetics, and medicines. Some people argue that cloning is the logical next step in reproductive technology. Identical twins are natural clones, so reproductive cloning can be regarded as a technological version of a natural process (McGee, 82). If a couple are infertile, why shouldn't they be able to produce clones of themselves? If a couple have lost a child, why shouldn't they be able to replace that loved individual with a clone if that is possible? Equally if someone has made a great contribution to science, music, the arts or literature, it seems like a good idea to produce more of them in the hope that we might...

...The Globel Concern with GMO’s Recently the discussions of GMO's have become more prevalent in households, schools, restaurants, grocery stores, and other social settings. As an issue that has many pros and cons, there are various points to debate. GMO's, or genetically modified organisms refer to seeds that have been genetically altered before being planted. This is usually done because it will benefit farmers and companies in the long run. GMO's have presented themselves as an issue now that more and more people are beginning to question just how safe they are for consumption. People have begun to speculate whether eating these foods can cause allergies, antibiotic resistance, and other health issues. Although looking further into...

...discussions led by the attending physician, conducted within 72 hours of hospitalization and revisited as needed 5. Documenting the content of discussions and rationale for conclusions in the patient’s chart. When the patient was no longer alert or able to participate in his or her own decisions, the discussion was held with the family. This was a more difficult conversation. Sometimes families thought they were being asked to render a death sentence, and it made them feel guilty.2 What really sums this information up, is both DNR and AND can have both pros and cons to their medical purpose. For instance, DNR is familiar to just about everyone, but the biggest con is that the protocol itself can be misleading and unclear in its motives and that’s where a lot of mistakes can be made. DNR can give false hope to patients and their families that an attempt of CPR or resuscitation can be likely achieved and successful. Another big con about DNR is that it can make the patient or family member feel trapped when deciding on whether to live or...

...Pros and Cons of Abortion Cons * You are killing a baby * Could be against your religious views * Could result in deep depression of guilt * Abortions could cause an infection in the mother’s womb, which could make it harder for the mother to get pregnant in the future * Abortions might have terrible side effects such as blocked fallopian tubes, weakened cervix, and uterine scattering. Those side effects can cause serious pain that is almost impossible to cure without an expensive surgery. * Many women who had an abortion, experience premature birth later in their lives. And we all know what that means: babies are born with extreme disabilities, whether in the physical or the psychological realm. Pros * Teens may not be able to carry a baby without dropping out of school * Rape * Women may have medical issues that prevent them from having a child without harming themselves * The women just may not be able to take care or afford the baby, especially without the help of a male or family * The pain of labor may be traumatic to the mother * The man that got you pregnant may leave you after you give birth * It may be hard for you to form a relationship with someone when you already have a child with a different man * You would have the chance to save up money for when you are actually ready to have a baby, rather than struggling financially when you have the child at an unexpected time. * The women may be rejected by...

...From 1967-2000, there was a normal of 21 earthquakes for every year in the United States that were 3.0 or more on the Richter scale in the central and eastern states. From that point forward, while fracking turned into a need in the US, the number of quakes at this level has expanded by a factor of four (“26 Pros and Cons Of Fracking” 5). On the other hand, a big wide variety of wells were made using the fracking method, and the quantity of earthquakes have been insignificant (“26 Pros and Cons Of Fracking” 3). Methane is an ozone-harming substance, which hints that it is a greenhouse gas which is also a cause of global warming (Squire 35, 36). The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says that fracking can contaminate groundwater tables, tap water systems, and wells and if methane gets into the...
