...algebra should be part of my leisure, but it’s not and there’s no reason for that. 2.) What are your responsibilities in order to help yourself in algebra 1? -My responsibilities in this class are simple. Stay focused in class, be ready to commit, and study. 3.) Should a teacher have high standards and expectations for you? Why? -Yes, a teacher should have high expectations for his/her students. I say this because most people excel in certain things when other influences in that person’s life hold high standards for that person. A lot of people cannot exceed by themselves, so that extra push from a teacher can be very helpful. 4.) Should you be held accountable for the quality of work you do in algebra 1? Why? * Yes, you should be held accountable for your quality of work. I make this statement because a student’s progress should be shown throughout their work. Many people might have a different opinion on this but if a student is on a constant progression it should, with no doubt be rendered in that person’s work. 5.) Are you doing everything possible to make sure you are learning in algebra 1? - No, I do not believe I ‘am doing everything to learn algebra. I say that because once I learn a new lesson in algebra I do not study it on a daily basis. This is something I struggle with. Learning in algebra 1 is never been a challenge for me but retaining the information without any study is the hard part. 6.) Should you be held accountable...

...Paper BCOM/275 February 11, 2013 Should parents be held responsible for their minor children’s criminal behavior? In this paper, Learning Team C will be discussing "Should parents be held responsible for their minor children's criminal behavior?" Parents should not be held any more accountable for the crimes of their children than children should be held responsible for the crimes of their parents. It does not make any sense to discipline one for the misconducts of the other. Nurturing is not a strict skill. Youngsters are not made of robots. Therefore, there is no particular method or outline for raising one’s children, who will promise that the child will develop up to be an accomplished resident that is a benefit to the public. For one artless purpose people who also include children have a free will. Children are less likely to participate in criminal crimes. If they have a productive parent at home taking care of him or her. What children need at home is love, affection, comfort, and positive reenactment. Parents can do any and everything correctly but if the child is rebellion it is nothing the parents can do. Parents can seek outside help to help for their rebellious child. Most children act out because of the way they were raise up, or the people they associate with. Most children who associate him or her with rebellious children tend to act out as his or her surroundings do. Children not held accountable for their actions will never learn the consequences...

...000 private security companies employ some 1.5 million guards, nearly triple the 554,000 state and local police officers and the industry which generates billions in profits is growing rapidly. One congressional advocate of increased regulation says national labor statistics indicate that more jobs will be created in the private security field than any other categories over the next decade. Industry executives estimate that the number of private guards will surge to 2 million by the year 2000 It could be said that private security has been around since the beginning of time. The king’s personal guard would be a great example. For today’s purposes we will be looking at companies such as Wackenhut and Blackwater. These companies are responsible for a large range of private policing. Blackwater is most notable for its protection of high level CEOs and their work within the combat theater of Iraq and Afghanistan. Wackenhut is more responsible for places like court houses and construction sites. Business should and have the right to hire their private security to ensure that their property is not damaged or stolen. The problem comes in when these private companies are given more than just security rights and they proceeded into the realm of the law. One great example is the recent Blackwater scandal in Iraq. Basically, Blackwater employees were on assignment to protect high level security personnel. The BlackWater soldiers thought they were under threat and began to open fire...

...and, secondly, actual results are compared with budgeted ones. Any difference is made responsibility of the key individuals who were involved in (i) setting standards, (ii) given necessary resources and (iii) powers to use them. In order to streamline the process, the entire organization is broken into various types of centers mainly cost centre, revenue centre, profit center and investment centre. The organizational budget is divided on these lines and passed on to the concerned managers. Actual results are collected and displayed in the same form for comparison. Difference, if any, are highlighted and brought to the notice of the management. This process is called Responsibility Accounting. RESPONSIBILITY CENTRE A FORMAL DEFINITION OF RESPONSIBILITY ACCOUNTING Responsibility accounting involves the creation of responsibility centres. A responsibility centre may be defined as an organization unit for whose performance a manager is held accountable. Responsibility accounting enables accountability for financial results and outcomes to be allocated to individuals throughout the organization. The objective is to measure the result of each responsibility center. It involves accumulating costs and revenues for each responsibility centre so that deviation from performance target (typically the budget) can be attributed to the individual who is accountable for the responsibility centre.

... 1. Herbert Hoover assumes that engineers are accountable for whether the products they make actually work according to expectations. But suppose, as is typical, that an engineer works on only a small part of a building or computer. Is Hoover mistaken in saying that the engineer shares responsibility for the project in its entirety? Does what he says apply only to the project engineer responsible for overseeing the entire project? Distinguish the applicable senses of ‘responsibility.’ CBS News had an article online regarding the court case involving the Army Corps of Engineers and their accountability with the levee failure during Hurricane Katrina. CBS News reports that the ruling could impact northern Texas. Congress made the decision that if something happened, the Army Corps of Engineers would not be held accountable. So when something happens, who is responsible? The city that the levee protects? The Federal Government is one thing, but what about all of the other engineering companies large, small, and everywhere in between? Obviously, one company can’t ever say “We cannot be held accountable if one of our products fails and injures people”. That’s wrong. So, how where would the accountability be pinned? If one of those smaller companies produced a product that ended up hurting or killing people, the entire company should be accountable. According to the Encyclopedia of Business, “businesses can be held liable for any damage or harm their products might...

...actions people take in their normal everyday activities. The actions we take reflect the personality the individual has been raised up to be. When a person steels a car and is under aged should their parents be held accountable for the actions their child has committed? There are many answers to this question have been expressed throughout the World Wide Web, articles and book in plenty different ways. Most of the answers express come from the same mentality that the parental accountability should only be imposed to a certain age of a child. In my belief, parents should be held responsible for what their child does up to the point of the second year of high school due to the reason of self-control, basically 16 years of age. The child could be held responsible at that point because the education levels have become so advance to the point where they learn in middle school and in high school classes deductive reasoning – right from wrong. Their social skills are also more developed. There are other factors that are related other than age such as the parental liability child’s act and the characteristics of the child after their parents have showed them the way to make the right decision. Almost every state has some sort of parental responsibility law which holds parents or legal guardians responsible for property damage, personal injury, theft, shoplifting, and/or vandalism resulting from intentional or willful acts of their children. Hawaii was the first state to enact such legislation...

...What happened on December 23, 1913 at Jekyll Island that has completely changed the landscape of the monetary system in United States? Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve has been the Central Bank of the United States of America. There are many questions about the Federal Reserve:; Its legality, its morality and the intentions of the founders and of those who currently are in authority. Was the Federal Reserve necessary when it was started? Is it necessary now? There is a growing group of people who believe that the role the Fed has taken violates everything our country was founded upon- being a part of the government that is by the people and for the people and that it has not lived up to its mandate of making sound monetary decisions that positively impact the present and future of this great nation. The Federal Reserve is a privately held entity that controls the monetary system of the United States, but has no definable role in government, does not answer to any branch of government for it’s actions; it should be disbanded and replaced to ensure special interests are not in control of the monetary system, while eliminating boom and bust economic cycles and bring back fundamental principles of checks and balance for this country and its economy. To truly understand the Federal Reserve as it is today, what it was intended to be when it first started and if it is still a necessary entity, it’s important to look at its origins. Throughout history, in times of...

...projects objectives and goals, accountability and communication is imperative. One of the 10 top reason’s projects fail is due to a lack of accountability, according to Villanova University (n.d.). This paper will go into detail regarding how a lack of accountability and communication can affect a projects overall success. It is important to remember project managers and project team members all need to hold themselves accountable for the success and outcome of project (Mullaly, 2013). Additionally, the project manager is not only responsible for holding themselves accountable but also the whole project team, all on top of their other responsibilities and projects. For this very reason, understanding accountability and creating a system to foster it plays a significant role in the success (Mullaly, 2013). Mullaly (2013) explains that project managers have a set of tools, some more than others, to help in efficiently fulfilling their job and responsibilities. Accountability In its raw form, accountability is defined “the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions” (Accountability, n.d.). However, in the world of business we can go further to say accountability means “the obligation of an individual or organization to account for its activities,...

Usually a person with this Blood alcohol content are confused, they need help completing tasks (standing, walking, using the bathroom), they are between 50-100 times more likely to get into an accident, and they are very close to being incoherent. At 7:43pm Mr. Hard left the bar, according to the bartender, appearing to be of sound mind and judgment. He was picked up by the police at 7:55pm slurring, disheveled and with no recollection of what had happened.

...The Mattel and the Toy Recalls integrative case poses six questions (four from the case and two from the professor) which will be addressed in this analysis. 1. What went wrong with Mattel’s recall strategy? The strategy used by Mattel in the toy recall was focused on passing the blame to China’s work practices and materials used. Mattel prematurely placed disproportionate blame on Chinese manufacturers and appeared defensive and somewhat fearful. In addition, the toy manufacture delayed reporting to the CPSC by a month and a half after they found out that the toys contained lead paint, even though the CPSC guidelines state that a re-call should be issued in 24 hours. 2. Who are Mattel’s stakeholders, who did Mattel cater to in the recall? Mattel’s stakeholders are the parents buying the toys, the retailers, the employees, the shareholders, management, China, business partners, CPSC, the government and third party contractors. The recall catered to the shareholders thus putting the bottom line ahead of the customer safety. 3. What values did Mattel exhibit during the recall? How did it affect Mattel? By waiting over a month to make a potential toy hazard public, Mattel evaded the truth. Even though a little late, Mattel did work with the CPSC to launch an external media blitz to alert the customers. Also the CEO of the company Robert Eckert apologized to parents in a video posted on website and expressed Mattel's emphasis on family when he spoke to parents from his perspective...
