ProjectID is a surrogate key that starts at 1000 and increases by 100. DepartmentName is the text name of the department, and is therefore not a surrogate key. The WPC database has the following referential integrity constraints: Department in EMPLOYEE must exist in Department in DEPARTMENT Department in PROJECT must exist in Department in DEPARTMENT ProjectID in ASSIGNMENT must exist in ProjectID in PROJECT EmployeeNumber in ASSIGNMENT must exist in EmployeeNumber in EMPLOYEE The relationship from EMPLOYEE to ASSIGNMENT is 1:N, M-O and the relationship from PROJECT to ASSIGNMENT is 1:N, M-O.

...report, I will include research on cultural groups in the Management field. As well as an interview with my current Human Resources Manager. Professional Cultural Groups CS204-09 Cultural Groups1 Employees everywhere have in some sort of way adopted several characteristics from their work colleagues. For example in most professions, the individuals that are employed are all wanting to excel in their profession. Unbeknownst, they adopt similar values and behavior patterns as their peers. It’s true that work places consist of many different professions, and roles. These differences also include diverse cultural groups, such as: Historical factors, social classes, beliefs, values, attitudes, and etc. As a Sales Accounting Administrator, I am constantly working with different departments. These departments include: pricing, sales, accounting, customer service, and human resources. Although, I love the variety of my job. One day I would love to rise to other levels in my career. However, I have learned that within these different departments you work with a variety of people. These individuals are from different backgrounds, have different goals, along with many other things. For example, the pricing department is small, and the individuals that work within that department are very family oriented and are extremely close with one another. The sales department is more male-dominated, professional, and can be extremely busy at times. With the accounting group, this is another...

...Travel Agency HR Plan HRM 552 June 16, 2014 Travel Agency HR Plan The travel agency is rapidly growing, but its HR department does not have a clear mission and function. In developing HR strategies, it is important to refer to the organization’s objectives, as well as a clear mission statement. In order for the company to accomplish its goal of growing the organization, it is imperative that an HR strategic plan is conducted. This paper will go over what is needed in order for the HR department to accomplish the overall strategic business plan. The travel agency is growing and hiring 50 employees can be a challenge. It is important to find candidates with the right type of qualifications and experience to fill specific jobs within the organization. Planning for such growth, travel agency’s Human Resource department needs to orient and train employees, as well as build effective teams within the organization. With such a huge number of new hires, it will be challenging to handle the organizational change especially finding a fit between culture and new employees. Once the HR department has been created, functions such as performance appraisals, compensation and benefits, and conflict management are also carried out, but it would be challenging if the team is understaffed or inexperienced in Human Resource. It is necessary for travel agency to have a system in place to measure level of satisfaction. The purpose of having HR metrics is to know whether or not a function...

...that many of these preceding factors are evident in vulnerable populations around the world, particularly the homeless population. The science Daily (2013) reports that “one in five homeless people with tuberculosis die within a year of their diagnosis” (Death Rate from Tuberculosis in Homeless Alarmingly High). In addition to the high death rate for TB among homeless people, public health officials also recognize a growing threat of drug resistant strains within these vulnerable populations. Theses drug resistant strains of tuberculosis require longer, more consistent treatments, and are often more fatal. In this paper, an example homeless population group on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California will be discussed. Earlier this year, an outbreak of a strain of TB that was unique to Los Angeles was discovered on Skid Row. Public health officials sought out the help from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for assistance in investigating, managing, and...

...'members of the human race as non humans, as objects to be toyed with and discarded. There is no evidence that the death penalty is more effective than long term punishment. States that have the death penalty do not have lower crime rates than states without the death penalty. "Retribution is just another word for revenge, and the desire for revenge is one of the lowest human emotions. To kill the person who has killed someone close to you, is simply to continue the violence which destroys the avenger as well as the offender. Expressing one’s violence simply reinforces the desire to express it. The U.S. Department of Justice’s own figures reveal that between 2001 and 2006, 48 percent of defendants in death penalty cases were African Americans. African Americans make up 13% of the us population, and yet 50% of death row inmates are African American. The biggest argument against the death penalty is that is incredibly biased. A study by Yale showed that African Americans are 3 times more likely to receive the death penalty that white defendants. Since the reinstatement of the modern death penalty, 87 people have been freed from death row because they were later proven innocent. That is a demonstrated error rate of 1 innocent person for every 7 persons executed. A study of the cost of the death penalty in Colorado revealed that capital proceedings required 6x more days in court than life without parole cases. This court time increase several strains available resources and clogs...
