...Inside Look into Ethical Concerns of For-Profit and Not- For-Profit Organizations Matthew Morton PHI445: Personal & Organizational Ethics Instructor: Robin McCart-Brown 10/12/2015 “Ethics: an area of study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior: a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong (Merriam-Webster)”. The theory of ethical issues dates back to the first known human beings, as even the oldest settlers of this planet, had some guidelines distinguishing right from wrong doing. This day in age, the actual study of ethics and morals has come a long way, while many famous philosophers and ancient hierarchy’s have their own beliefs and set of rules they believe is right or wrong. When we look at the use of ethics and moral code in relation to business and organizations around the world there is allot to be said. In a world that has evolved beyond the imagination of our earliest settlers, ethics and business have allot in common as every business, for or not for-profit, strives to hold the highest reputation to acquire and retain as much public interest and business as possible. While there are many famous not- for profit organizations and even more for-profit business’s, they are not all as favorable and ethically inclined as they might seem on the surface, leaving the research of these organizations in the hands of the consumer and also the determining of whether a particular organization does good by their own ethical and moral...

Back in the 1940’s when corporal punishment was most used to correct bad behavior.”They’ll live, don’t worry” was the common idea. That event marked his relationship and trust with his father for life. One day after school snow and his buddies were hanging out on the music block with nothing to do. So what they decided to do was deliberately plan in the remodeling of the block, but was caught in action. The consequences of their actions were not to kind. Cleaning the whole music block was not going to be an easy task. The cleaning ran into the late afternoon. When they were finally finished they all headed home. As snow tells it, his friend’s were first they went one by one as they were dropped off at their homes. The first father came home, after listening to what had happen, he said to his son,” I send you to school for an education not to get in trouble’s.” then he took off his belt and redressed his son for his wrong doing. The second father came home and when he learned about what had happened he told his son,” If I ever get a report like this again its going to be worse.” I could not imagine what would be worse than thrashing his son, slamming his son on the ground and kicking him. It was Alex’s turn as he was now terrified talking to himself “I’m dead I’m dead I’m dead I am dead.” His father never raised his hand in violence, but after seeing what his friends received...

...They play a pivotal role in central nervous injury and repair (CNS). Microglia are a type of cell that are the local macrophage-like cells of the brain and spinal cord critical for remodeling the brain (Balakrishnan, et al, 2013). The brain is what helps us move the muscles or tells the muscles to do a specific movement. While the fetus is still developing the microglia is present alongside the white matter tract to perform myelin genesis and axon genesis (Balakrishnan, et al. 2013). Activated, the microglia can either protect or be detrimental as they play an important role in the CNS injury. However, microglia response may depend on the type of infection or inflammation that has occurred. The proinflammatory cells can result in an exaggerated condition, which can be an ongoing inflammatory response that persist long after the injury. This can contribute to free radicals, excitotoxic metabolites, and proinflammatory cytokines...

Compare compact and spongy bone. Compact bone is dense bone with very few spaces and is covered by a nourishing membrane called the periosteum. Spongy bone is identified by its many spaces that are filled with red bone marrow, which produces red blood cells. 3. Describe the structure of a long bone. Where are the yellow and red marrow found in adults? A long bone in the human body contains both compact bone and spongy bone. The compact bone is found on the outer surface of the bone and compose the shaft. The spongy bone is found at the ends of the long bone. Yellow bone marrow it found in the central shaft of the long bone surrounded by the compact bone. Red bone marrow is found in spaces of the spongy bone. 4. Describe the structure of an osteon, and explain the function of osteocytes and the central canal. The osteon consists of a central canal surrounded by concentric rings of osteocytes (mature bone cells) in a rigid matrix. O steocytes are located within a lacuna in the matrix. Canals connect the lacunae to each other and to the central canal. This allows for the transport of items between the cells and the blood vesels in the central canal. 5.

...Decision making and Thinking is a part of our lives like breathing, people don’t stop to analyze why they use this process. People may think that thinking and decision making is a simple process, there are many styles of thinking for every issue people come across in their daily lives. The four different styles of critical thinking are creative, logical, scientific, and persuasive. The different styles of thinking are fit to the different issues and they require thought and analysis to find the best fit. The thinking styles each have a different effect on the issue, so one will need to think about this as another variable. People use the thinking styles to remember, and perceive information, and also solve problems. In this paper we will discuss the four types of Thinking and Decision making and give workplace examples for each. Scientific Thinking The style of scientific thinking has changed the world. In the field of medicine, scientists have been successful in finding cures for diseases, developing new drugs that can extend life, and treatments that can improve the quality of life have been invented through this important style of thinking. The four major steps in the scientific thinking process are observation, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and verification (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007).

...Remodeling Society and the Natural Environment Jonathan Awoloi GRW: Energy, Society & Environment Professor Case Due October 6, 2014 Word count: 1194 Awoloi 1 Energy transitions are the major shifts in the forms of energy humans use as well as the methods used to gather energy caused by new understanding of energy and changing uses. Humans had begun as hunter-gatherers and the discovery of fire was merely the preface to an immense, extensive, and ongoing journey to gather energy in all its forms as efficiently as possible, then use to power all kinds of prime movers that have been created and adapted to improve the amount of work that can be done. These energy transitions in the past altered the structure in which humans lived, from smaller units and villages towards larger and larger societies, but also allowed humans to branch out from the cycle of hunting and gathering, that other animals are restricted to, into an increasingly intellectual lifestyle. Although the methods of energy gathering and use greatly advanced, especially over the last century, the natural environment has been greatly damaged due to the need to clear landscapes to amass more energy. The discovery and domestication of fire was a great advancement for hominids, a spark which initiated the fire that was mankind's domination of this planet. Fire had led to cooking, the greatest advantage gained by domesticating fire according to Alfred W. Crosby1. Aside from the great nutritional and food storage...

...let what happened dictate their individual future. In this film, directed by Mike Binder and produced by Jack Binder and Michael Rottenberg, the message of depression and its effects is relayed quite clearly. This movie relates to the real world very well; it also helps open up the eyes of many who do not understand what depression can do. Reign Over Me deals with a character who has the biggest part of his life taken from him in an instant. While others cannot tell how much Fineman is suffering by his actions, the loss of his family crushes him. Instead of mourning he falls into a deep state of denial where he almost forgets their existence. An important theme throughout is Fineman trying to fix the wrongs he did to his family, like snapping at his wife about kitchen remodeling or not taking his shoes off. Although they are just little things he makes sure nobody comes in his house with their shoes on and remodels the kitchen several times....

In the first part of the strategic plan I will define my business, the services provided, and the customers to be served with my mission statement. I will create a vision for my business to demonstrate what I want my business to become. I will define the guiding values of my business taking into consideration culture, social responsibility, and ethics. I will determine how the vision, mission, and values will guide my strategic decisions as well as assessing how the business will address the customer’s needs and attain a competitive advantage (University of Phoenix, 2009). Mission Statement According to Pearce and Robinson, “The mission of a company is the unique purpose that sets it apart from other companies of its type and identifies the scope of its operations,” (2009, p. 11). The mission statement is usually defined by the owners of the company, or it the company is large enough it will be discussed by the board of directors. Of course most businesses start our small and if they do well enough can become large corporations. Throughout this time and as the business grows they will need to update the mission statement to reflect the company at the present time.
