...Argentine military gaining control over the Government, in what could be known as a coup d'état. They tormented the citizens, destroyed homes, businesses, as well as kidnapping and/or killing those who opposed the takeover. Revolts occurred by those who believed in freedom from the oppression expressed by the militants and eventually the “Dirty War” came to end, but the aftermath of such event left the nation drained and despaired. Such events led to the loss of trust in the government and the military by its people, as they strived to recuperate and move on from the results of the “Dirty War”, economically and socially the nation was forever changed. Argentina was never a country that could compete with such great nations as the United States of America or England, but on the other hand as long as her people were happy, she functioned well. Like all countries, Argentina was put through many tests throughout the last 198 years. “Civil wars, military coups, violent social movements and economic exploitation have sharpened division in Argentina” for many years. From its declaration of Independence from Spain in 1816, to the rise of power by President Juan Perón (seen by most to be a communist) and his marriage to Eva Perón (the nation’s adored First Lady), to the military coup leading to the “ Dirty War”, to Las Islas Malvinas war (the Falkland Island). All of these events had an effect on the nation and its people but none more drastically than the events during “The Dirty...

...realistic fiction that gives readers insight on the beginning of the Revolutionary War through fifteen-year-old Adam Cooper’s eyes. Protagonists, Adam Cooper, and the nation, seem to work alongside each other in the fight against the antagonists, the Red Coats. Adam states, “We had won the battle, but there is less joy in winning a battle than the history books tell you” (Fast 169). Although the colonists are successful, there is more beneath the surface of the American victory. While conflict arises with the Red Coats, Adam Cooper’s life and the nation consist of order, chaos, and reorganization. Before the British disrupt the peacefulness of Lexington, Adam works to maintain order in his life by completing tasks, and the nation sustains order by having meetings to make decisions on important issues. One of the chores Adam completes is retrieving water from the well for his mother (Fast 3). It is routine that every evening someone brings water into the house. Not only does Adam have a routine to follow, but Adam’s father, who is a representative of the nation, has tasks to complete. After supper, Adam’s father attends a Committee meeting (Fast 28). The Committee...

...activities on US soil, few actions to deal with this issue must be taken into consideration, such as the need to define ISIS, reorganization of the Counter Terrorism Bureau, and the coordination of intelligence for the Syrian refugee management crisis. The White House has not done a great job in defining ISIS . Thus, there are no clear goals in dealing with them. Clear goal is needed to produce efficient tasks . For example, the goal could be “defeating” ISIS, which in this case is a vague mission. A vague mission is going to provide constraints in managing governmental agencies. It is more difficult to answer the next question, which is how to “defeat” ISIS because the White House does not have a clear definition of what ISIS really does . Thus, in defining ISIS, a committee should be established. This committee should consist of people who are familiar with the culture...

...Terrorism and US Intelligence The United States Intelligence Community has had to change the way they run in order to prevent a future terrorist attacks like the one on the fateful day of September 11th 2001, when our nations security was severely attacked. To be able to understand more clearly the challenges of our intelligence agencies having stronger capabilities, it is important to note that many of today’s issues are well grounded in the past and we can find many examples of this in history books today. One great example is when the United States transitioned from just focusing solely on our nation to a more global view as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Also, Sputnik was a huge reason for the United States to totally redefine their approach to space. These events and many more often serve as examples that changes should have and still must be be made within our intelligence communities and they helped prompt the largest reorganization of the intelligence community since 1947. Had these changes been made sooner, prevention of these and many more tragedies may have been a success. Beginning from the time when Pearl Harbor was stroked, the government sought to blame the Japanese Americans for the tragedy. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made no hesitation to sign the executive order authorizing an internment of all “Japanese Americans” to proceed. This of course was during a time when racial prejudice was open, but their was a deeper issue within our intelligence...

Consequently, ALL STAR initiated a major restructuring of ASFC at the beginning of 2010. This resulted in the replacement of almost all the senior management staff. Bruce Tate, a senior manager in ALL STAR’s operations in the United States, was appointed President of ASFC. His mandate was to double the size of the Canadian operations and to generate a pre-tax profit margin in excess of 10% within a period of five years. Southeastern US Region. Bruce has a strong background in sales at ALL STAR and a reputation for driving top-line results. In his role as President, Bruce is accountable for ASFC’s total performance, including sales objectives and bottom-line results. He is a hands-on manager who likes to keep a direct reporting relationship between himself and each facet of ASFC’s operations. As a result, he removed the positions of CFO, COO, and EVP and had all six vice-presidents report directly to him. This reorganization did not result in substantial cost savings because the new vice- presidents were paid more than their predecessors. However, Bruce believed that flattening the...

Despite the fact that they were now one company they still acted as if they were still separate. Meaning that instead of everything Babbages and Software Etc. outlet changing their name to Neostar Retail they just kept the original names and acted as two different companies. When Babbages and Software Etc. merged into Neostar Retail things began going down hill. Since they were acting as different stores it got to where one side wasnt sure of what the other side was up to and eventually caused them to go into Chapter 11 reorganization in 1996. That means that a troubled business cant service its debts and pay its creditors. At this time there were currently 800 stores within the United States and more than a few offers for Neostars...

...it in America Richa Parikh 997543154 The transition from Fordism to Post-Fordism in the United States marked a significant change in the organization of businesses. Standard Motor Products(SMP) was initiated in the early 1900s as an after-market automobile parts manufacturer headquartered in Long Island City, Queens. United States was in the midst of an industrial revolution, and concepts of Taylorism and Fordism had barely diffused. Businesses had more control over deciding which products to produce and they primarily marketed to a particular societal class. This allowed room for mass production of standardized products which would lead to mass consumption. SMP thrived through their division of labour and economies of scale that this model of consumption advocated. Then came the burst of globalization, which facilitated access to new markets in order increase profits and shareholder value. Powerful multinationals which exploited these markets from its onset grew considerably in size. As SMP was small in comparison to this competition, it could not influence discount policies from its suppliers and thus, it had to cut costs elsewhere to keep its business profitable. Cutting down costs by expanding into regions with a cheaper labour pool was the only option they had to ensure their survival. Based on the capitalist premise that underlines the economy of the United States, it is through competition that the businesses improve and evolve. For this reason, Standard Motor expanded...

...First, I never really realized the many debates and issues America really has until this course. Some issues may seem like common sense on how to solve the problem but not everyone may be happy with every result because of their “beliefs” moral and values. I know that wearing seat beats is state regulated. The government can legally require us to wear a seat belt. Especially, if their major concern is about cutting cost and saving the lives of others. Many feel that when we allow the government to enforce these kinds of laws, we are surrendering our ability to think and act for ourselves. To be honest we have some people that seem to have no brain and this is why such laws have to be in place. It may not be fair and it may infringe on our rights a bit but it is here to balance things. Most of the time it is not very easy to determine in specific cases the right thing to do and no solutions seem obviously correct. As adults, we have experienced many situations to where we are able to decide whether we would like to follow particular rules, but for children it is undetermined in which case it is safe to let some adults decide for them. So rules like having child restraint are put into place for them so that they are protected in every measure. I know that my children will jump in the car without putting a seat belt on and I have to remind them to put it on because when they are in the back seat. I prefer them to be in a car seat with their seat belt on for my own safety reason as...

...Subject: Funding for Business Writing Course The purpose of this memo is to request funding for a business writing course being offered at Briarcliffe College. This course will not only benefit me; it will benefit the company in many ways by giving me the tools necessary to be more capable at doing my job. At the end of this course I should feel more confident in my ability to write in a more professional and understandable manner. In my position, I am constantly writing, whether it’s an email to an individual’s family or formal billing summaries for the state. How many times have billing summaries been returned from the state because they are not clear on how a service was run or because of senseless grammar errors? There have also been issues where a family didn’t understand a routine notice and call the supervisors for clarity. This does not create a very professional image for our company as a whole. Each time this happens it takes up valuable company time that can be spent on more productive tasks. Below are a few benefits the company will experience: Save time and money more productive and proficient business meetings A more professional image for the company. As I stated above, the course is being offered at . It will begin on October 15, 2011 and run till December 3, 2011. The total cost is $650; $500 for tuition, $75 for technology fees, and $75 for the book. This is a small investment to the future of this company. We will be able to set ourselves apart...

...Death penalty is a bigger discussion, even though I just live here in safe Denmark. I will try to make it about 300 words. The first and maybe even what I think is the stupidest thing about death penalty is the “Eye for an eye” philosophy. Most of all this philosophy can chock me in civilized parts of this world. Like some of the states in the US, that chooses this. But if you turn this around and think, it’s not as expensive for the state as it is to have these criminals in jail, and give them space, food, water, warm bathes, electricity, and so on. It’s cheaper, and easier, just to ‘take them away’. But what about the chances, the chances that someday they will have a new Black Magic, and the idea about the part where they see you ass guilty until the opposite is proven. It’s seen before that someone who’s not guilty lost their life. And how can a state, how can normal people feel raised above everything, and think who has the right to live or die? It’s not only the court I’m thinking at, at this point. It’s also the criminals, who kill. Well, sometimes I also think that death is the only thing a person can deserve, if they done something so awful. But isn’t it just an easy way for them? I won’t mention an example, but think of a criminal who has done something so awful. And when they could come out of jail, the next many years they can’t have a safe live, their life will never be normal, and they will ALWAYS be judged, get the looks, and hear people whisper.

...Cons Of Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients Norman Zeitunian BCOM/275 Business Communication October 30, 2012 Todd Keller Cons Of Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients There are many states that have attempted to introduce or have laws on their books for drug testing when individuals who are applying for state benefits. Some of the states are Kentucky, Florida, Virginia and Washington. The overall purpose of this testing is to better prepare individuals for employment purposes. Although that is a good sounding intention, there are many aspects that will be flawed and not viable. The most powerful argument against drug testing for welfare benefits stems from the constitutional standpoint. Organizations such as the ACLU have argued that the Fourth Amendment protects citizens from being searched without probable cause ( Bowler 2012). This issue is the main stopping point for creating this program in states’ is that there are many legal issues and will be challenges in the court systems. This leads to the costs related to dealing with the legal ramifications and potential lawsuits that are filed against states agencies that impose drug testing. Another point that was stated in the same letter was that mandatory drug testing was an "ineffective" and "fiscally irresponsible" way to deal with drug abuse. Instead of drug tests, which cost an average of $42 each not including the costs of running the program, the money would be better spent on training government workers...

By applying principle of double effect we would not accept this kind of order. The situation here is that if we follow one condition the other is ours automatically. The thing with this case is that the manager is expecting something in return to the first order he would give to us. A donation is given by a person freely and willingly. From all the reasons stated above, we do not agree to have an order by the purchasing manager who is expecting us to make a donation of P2, 000 donations to his favorite charity. 3. Sales Expense Reimbursement This case states that an agent of the Southeast Asia wants us to reimburse the customer executive from the Southeast Asia for all his expenses, including some which violates are company’s policies. The agent assures us to reimburse the expenses later. By applying the principle of truth and loyalty we would never accept to go against our company rules. We would choose to go on the right path than to follow the wrong one. Being disloyal to our own company would be a big disgrace to our inner conscience because this very company gives us money...

...Dear Local Government and State Officials: I have been experiencing a wonderful winter in the state of Maryland. We have not had a bad winter however, on the days expecting snow it always turns into a disaster. My husband called me on the phone this morning stating that he was unable to take my friend to the airport due to the snow plows blocking the driveway completely with snow. I had to leave my work that morning to try and make calls to make sure that the situation would not happen again. This is not the only time that this has happened. It happens very often when we get snow. I spoke with the men driving the truck at the time of the incident and advised him that my friend needs to get to the airport right away or she will miss her flight. He advised me that I needed to plow out my driveway because he needed to be somewhere else. I did not take that lightly at all. I contacted his boss who stated that I need to speak with the local government and make a complaint. I became irate at this point and began to scream and throw a fit which was not good at all. After several times of trying to contact you I kept running into a hard rock. I have left several messages and still have yet to receive a phone call back due to this matter. I am writing you this letter to explain my situation. My friend came in town to visit for a few days. Not knowing that we were expected to get snow at the time we received it. She was only to be here for a weekend. Due to the snow we received we were...

...David Bayley and Clifford Shearing: The New Structure of Policing: Descriptions, Conceptualization and Research Agenda Policing is being reconstructed worldwide. Its distinguishing features are (a) the separation of those who authorize policing from who do it and (b) the transference of both functions away from government The change in policing cannot be understood in customary terms. It is often mischaracterized for example as privatization. Because the distinction between public and private domain becomes problematic in the new policing, the more appropriate description for what is occurring is multilateralization—as host of non governmental groups have assumed responsibility for their own protection, and a host of nongovernmental agencies have undertake to provide security services Crucial distinction is made between the auspices and providers of policing. Auspices are groups (and sometimes individuals) that explicitly and self-consciously take upon themselves the responsibility for organizing their own protection. Providers are groups that actually do the policing. In the old paradigm of policing government had responsibility for articulating security needs and for developing institutions to meet them. This has changed auspices can either be public (govt) or private (nongovt) Governments were the organizational auspices for formulating demand for policing, and they were the providers who supplied it. These two functions have become separate it has become acceptable for...

...it takes a prominent position in the conversation between Socrates and Euthyphro. In the Euthyphro, the concept of holiness emerges as Socrates and Euthypho are discussing how Euthypho’s father is accused of murder. They start off my discussing if the murder was just or not. If the murder was just then Euthypho has a duty to let the matter be. If the murder was unjust then action should be taken against him. Euthypho then states that “A son is impious who prosecutes a father. Which shows, Socrates, how little they know what the gods think about piety and impiety.” (Plato, ND) After which Socrates questions what piety and impiety means. This then spurs the conversation towards their concepts of holiness. 2- Present the three definitions that Euthyphro uses in his response to Socrates, and then explain how Socrates refutes each of Euthyphro’s definitions. The first definition that Euthyphro uses is that piety is doing as he is doing, by persecuting any one that is guilty, whether it is of murder, sacrilege or anything that is similar to that. He states that impiety is not punishing those that are guilty of murder or sacrilege. Socrates feels that this is not a definition and isn’t dealt with properly. Socrates refutes this by stating those who prosecute are an example of a holy act and not a definition. He thereby urges Euthyphro to give a more general definition that can be identified as a standard that all other holy deeds could be recognized by. The second definition that...
