It affects the ability to have enough time to respond and make all necessary decisions •Planning and rules to be set, regularly reviewed to include any new case and tested by companies. This plan should consider welfare of both owners and customers. • Ability to adjust adequately for subsequent information and not being selectively interpreting what one sees on the basis of one's interests, background, experience and attitudes. • Consideration of Humanity during planning and during disaster time (ex. hundreds of passengers on planes, at JFK, in some cases for as long as 10 hours with bathrooms closed!).

...Full Title Nehemiah is the story of a God-fearing man that not only had a vision, but set out on a quest to see to it that his vision would become a reality. God put it on his heart to do so. He did this by traveling to the city of Judah and organizing the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. Under his management, the walls were rebuilt in only 52 days. In his quest, Nehemiah exudes qualities that are beyond admirable. He was inspirational. He was humble. He was honest. Last, but not least, he knew how to utilize his resources to the fullest extent. These qualities are what made Nehemiah a very efficient and effective leader, the kind of leader that could take a business successfully around the globe. I am in the process of deciding whether or not to expand my company’s operations to Mexico. What appeals to me about Mexico is its close proximity to the United States, the fact that is has no tariffs, and the strong work ethic that Mexicans living in America appear to have. I aspire to be like Nehemiah and exude those same leadership qualities that can be attributed to his success in the event that we do expand operations into Mexico. It is apparent that Nehemiah was a very inspirational leader, because he was able to inspire the Jews to get on board with his vision incredibly fast. There is a lot that goes into being an inspirational leader. Inspiring people requires being knowledgeable about your audience so that you are able to connect with them. You must...

...constructively, but they would also have a chance to rebuild the economy, and the country as a whole, in the future. Hank Oettinger, who witnessed the first checks being given by the CWA, stated, “I never saw such a change of attitude. Instead of walking around feeling dreary and looking sorrowful, everybody was joyous. Like a feast day. They were toasting each other. They had money in their pockets for the first time.” (Hank Oettinger, Hard Times, 1933). New Deal programs not only helped the citizens of America physically, they also significantly raised the general moral and opinion of the government. In such trying times, establishing trust is crucial to the redevelopment of the country. The New Deal provided a starting point for the rebuilding of that trust, and essentially became a large part of the reform of...

...to different people in different communities, across the globe. Even the term ‘social work’ is often hard to pin down in the Western tradition. The first ‘constant’ seems to be the history of the development of social work in Britain after the Industrial Revolution and then across the western world predominantly in the United States. Second, social work as a profession arose as the result of the issues thrown up by the Industrial Revolution, such as mass movements away from rural based living, agricultural jobs reduced, with massive technological innovations commencing as far back as the development of the steam engine. Third, social work as a profession is united by its values which are social justice and a need to attend to social welfare (in the context of social wellbeing) in society. Jane Addams and her associates believed that no less than world peace and disarmament were suitable goals for social work. (Hokenstad and Midgely, 1998) So what is ‘international’ social work? The Council on Social Work Education in the United States of America in 1956 examined the question and gave the...

...Economic Systems, Socialism, and Supply & Demand Patrick Domench Intro to Business and Technology Professor Armes DeVry University September 7, 2014 The best system to handle a disaster of epic proportions is Capitalism. We live in a Capitalist system now and we have been through many natural disasters that have rocked our communities and we have always pulled together and gotten through everyone so far. We have even been attacked in New York, one of the largest cities in the USA, and we were able to rebuild. In the free market system the private sector owns most of the resources, this leaves the main function of the government to facilitate and aid economic activity. This is particularly strong in a disaster type situation because the infrastructure of the economy would be disturbed, so in this case the government would be focused on rebuilding and encouraging investment in the private sector. The private sectors main concern is profit and this greatly aids regeneration. A Socialist system would not be best in an emergency situation and I refuse to speculate that it would be. Firstly, the question itself is academically dishonest. It presumes an answer to a postulation or theory, then demands the student to support the results of that theory with "proof". It's like a rhetorical question, but sinister in its intellectual pre-suppositions. Like asking "Everyone knows that Crisco is better than butter in making croissants, now you prove it"! Secondly, it is quite...

...Problem/Cause and solution In his article, Brandon King gives an unequivocal answer to the question “Is the so-called ‘American Dream’ dead, alive or on hold?” He believes that the ideals and values of the American Dream are very much alive even though many people have lost confident in the Great Recession. Under the difficult economic circumstances today, Brandon redefines the American Dream as the potential to work for an honest, secure way of life and save for the future according to the more intense spending habits of Americans. In order to living the American Dream, Brandon lists solutions to three main problems, inequality, economic insecurity and eroded faith in the American Dream. In sum, he believes that though existing, inequality is not a reason for the lost of American Dream in the poor and supporting the top businesses would help the recovery of economy. He also highlights the values and rules of the American Dream, which would help living and inheritance of this spirit. From my perspective, I agree with the main problems he concludes but for some of his solutions, I stand on the opposite site of the author. I think narrowing the income gap is very significant and so do supporting businesses, while the dependence of the spirit itself is in the less important position. Following are my analysis of each argument. According to the article, inequality is regarded as the most worrisome problem by many people. In contrast with economists like Robert Reich and Paul Krugman...

They are being utilized to pick up quality, grow the client base, cut rivalry or go into another business sector or item fragment. Organizations that work a level procurement system assume control or converge with organizations in a comparable business sector segment and at the same phase of generation. The point is to secure extra items or administrations to offer their clients, or to expand piece of the overall industry by procuring contenders.

...or are shaken up by something such as an earthquake or hurricane, they look towards American Humanitarians and our government to lend them a hand. Newspapers constantly talk about countries pleading for help: "We have the resources, we have the know-how to end extreme poverty” (Stossel, Patrick McMenamin 42). And it is true. Our government does provide money and resources to these countries that are begging for help, but not enough. Our country provides more money to aid countries in their civil wars than it does to provide foreign aid for countries that desperately need help. Most aid is intended to be spent as investment projects in particular areas of need such as supplying medicine and water to Third World countries, and rebuilding new roads and homes for countries that are destroyed by natural disasters. The main problem, as most experts put it, is that “aid is substitutable and what the money is supposed to be used for is spent on something else” (Rieff 225). Warfare should be the last thing our government should be focusing on with disasters such as Haiti’s earthquake and with so many deaths from diseases caused by poverty. To help reduce poverty in the world, American Humanitarians and our government should focus more on countries with poverty problems and natural disasters and less on wars with other countries. Every morning our newspapers could report, “more than 20,000 people perished yesterday of extreme poverty” (New York Times). Up to 8,000...

...President Truman approached Congress with what became the Truman Doctrine. The Truman Doctrine can best be defined as a practice in containment. Written with the intent to provide economic support to Greece and Turkey for assistance against communist pressures; there is an underlying promise towards fighting the spread of communism that will support the United States and our thoughts on foreign policy. By addressing Congress with the doctrine, Truman sets a plan of action that portrays the importance of international relationships and our role as leader, declaring the need to protect the struggling countries as a threat to the world, “If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world – and we shall surely endanger the welfare of our own nation” (Truman, 1947)....

Government expenditures:such as military salaries and building roads, however it does not include social security payments and welfare. Net exports: where it is the total of goods produced domestically and sold to foreigners minus goods produced by foreigners and sold domestically. Regarding to above, using GDP as a measure of a nation's economy is quite good because it measures the nation buying power over a given time period. Moreover, GDP can be used as an indicator of a nation's overall standard of living where nation's standard of living increases as GDP increases. However, there are a number of shortcomings to using GDP. Firstly,GDP is computed at market prices which means that it ignores externalities such as environmental issues. Secondly, GDP doesn't count unpaid volunteer work. Actually, the non paid work can lower GDP because the money that was saved from volunteers could have gone to other employed people if the volunteers didn’t do it. Thirdly GDP does not include the household work by which it could make the welfare comparisons both across both time and countries very difficult . Fourthly, Disasters...
