...hostility, and other violence in pro and amateur sports which can result in wars. The 2001 NHL season occurred during the Iraqi Civil War, and the NHL had one of the toughest starts ever. Six players had been suspended and 82 major penalties like fighting were given in 42 games, compared to the season before this which was an increase in 44%. Increase of violence in sports during times of war is no coincidence, it is a representation of what is happening in society. Some questions to consider will be is there an explanation to this increase? What are some extreme cases that have led to investigation? And who has spoken out about this correlation? A theory called the cultural spillover theory...

...Regina Woodford CJ 100: Preparing for a Career in Public Safety January 29, 2014 The three key social issues that contribute to the need for criminal justice practitioners are sex offenders, drug abuse, and gun control. The first key social issue is sex offenders. Sex offenders are required by state law to register in the system and allows the public to know where they live and what offense was made (Perlam 2006.). A sex offender is an adult, or child having consensual or nonconsensual sex with a minor. Having a sex offender in your neighborhood can prove not to be a good thing for schools or homes because of the children. When individuals register as they are supposed to, it allows people in the community to be aware of them. The second key social issue is drug abuse. This issue requires a need for criminal justice practitioner in for different reasons. Drug abuse is a social and physical problem. The physical problem is the pain that a person inflicts upon themselves intentionally and unintentionally while high. Drug abuse can lead to life threatening addictions and can also kill a person. Therefore, it contributes for a need of a criminal justice practitioner; the CJ practitioner can promote a lack of narcotics to prevent individuals from spending the rest of their lives jail. When a person abuses drugs, they do not see their problem as an issue. A criminal justice practitioner role would be to help drug abusers by, sending them to rehabilitation centers or locking...

...Employee Motivation within the organization: The job of a manager in the workplace is to get daily tasking done in an efficient and productive manager. To do this the manager should be able to motivate employees. At times this because complicated because some employee’s do not have the incentive or commitment to get the job done properly. Motivation practices and theories are difficult subjects, as they are associates with many different philosophies. Motivation is not clearly understood and more often than not poorly practiced. To understand motivation one must understand human nature itself. Human nature can be very simple, yet very intricate too. An understanding and appreciation of this is a prerequisite to effective employee motivation in the workplace and effective administration and management. Motivation in the workplace is one of the main concerns that managers face when trying to boost their employees to work harder and do what is expected of them on a day-to-day basis. According to Langton and Robbins each theory can be divided into two categories; needs theories and process theories (Langton & Robbins, 2007). Each theories shows the differences that people have and how they can be applied to motivate the individual. Process theories include a broader portrayal which describes the procedures involved in motivating others. Employee incentive programs go a long way towards guaranteeing employees feel appreciated and valuable. This single-handedly can help with employee...

...The ability to use past innovations to chart future shifts in the relationship between science, technology and culture. Abstract The study of history can easily have a somewhat anecdotal purpose behind examining it, but with the advent of Winston’s ‘Modeling for change’ we are able to discern a concentration of social forces working directly on the process of innovations rather than being a force on innovation. It is for this reason that we have the ability to chart future shifts in science, technology and culture through an evolutionary social based process that exist in a perpetual dialogue always tinkering, refining and suppressing devices throughout the ages. There has been a popular contention, a somewhat anecdotal purpose behind studying the past that has something to do with making sure that 'we learn from it' and are not destined to 'repeat it' as such. (Santayana 1906) But when it comes to new technologies it is easy 'at first glance, that there seems to be no patterns in the changes…In some cases the new technologies swept through quickly; in others the transition took decades. In some, the new technologies were complex and expensive to develop. In others… technologies were simple extensions of what the leading companies already did better than anyone else.' (Christensen 1997) What Winston has for the most part provided us, is a more 'crucial overview of how communication technologies develop' (Winston 1998 p11) within the social sphere, to that which 'Modeling...

Most awesome authors of history from Plato's book " Republic" and Plutarch "Lives" all have had a go at noting the inquiry "What qualities and characters recognizes an individual as a pioneer". Underlying the system for this hunt was the distinguishment that of its imperativeness to administration and that initiative is profoundly identified with aspects certain individuals have. It is a thought known as "attribute initiative hypothesis". The attribute initiative hypothesis likewise prompted different types of option authority hypotheses. In consequent studies it was uncovered that the general nature of qualities in administration proposed that persons heading in specific areas may not be great in different...

...1.0 Introduction: What is Organisational behaviour? According to Stephen P and Timothy A (2007), Organizational Behaviour is the study which enables an organisation to examine the impact of individual, groups and structure’s behaviour within an organisation. The implementation of such knowledge will eventually improve an organisation’s effectiveness. Organizational behaviour is a field of study and this study is actually concerned about three determinants of behaviour in an organization. Which are : • • • Individual Groups Structure Moreover organizational behaviour helps manager to gain knowledge about Individual, Groups and the effect of structure on behaviour and to apply that knowledge into practice. Organizational Behaviour encompasses a wide range of topics. Although there is still some dispute regarding the importance of each topics, there appears to be general agreement that OB includes the core topics of motivation, leader behaviour and power, inter-personal communication, group structure and processes, conflict, work design and work stress. From the above discussion, it can be said that OB is concerned with the study and understanding of individual and group behaviour in an organization and how their behaviour influence the overall performance of an organization. 1 1.1 Objective: This report is created as an academic requirement of the “Organisational Behaviour” course. It has been prepared to meet the requirement of formal report preparation part that demands...

...that is not the case. The Senate in 2014 was in session for eighty-three days. Even with this relatively light workload Senators have, the rules of the Senate allow for significant absences. In turn, the average Senator worked only seventy-two of those eighty-three days. Senators made an average of approximately $150,000, with additional amounts paid to Senators with particular roles, such as Speaker of the Senate. When compared to the average salary earned by an university-educated Canadian of approximately $60,000, the compensation earned by a Senator seems far too high. The Senate is not fiscally responsible and other parts of our country could certainly better use these resources/funds. Consider how many underfunded schools, hospitals and other programs exist which could certainly make much better use of the money spent on the Senate. It is a huge injustice to spend so much money on an obsolete part of government. On a purely cost/benefit analysis, there can be no argument posited for the continued existence of the Senate. Senate Appointments A basic requirement before obtaining any political office in Canada is to be elected by the constituency. The only instance in Canadian politics where this is not the case is the Senate. Senators are not elected. Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the “advice” of the Prime Minister. Fifty-one of fifty-seven Senators appointed by the Conservative government led by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper were donors to...

It will also discuss the multiple statistical models such as Granger causality and Vector autoregression and the asymmetric results produced. Increased U.S. Military Spending and its impact on the Economy Given the long-accepted, theoretical direct relationship between investment and economic growth, if defense spending has a negative impact on investment, then it would seem reasonable that defense spending would have an adverse impact on economic growth. This was exactly the findings of two studies published in the seventies, zymanski (1973) and Lee (1973). Some studies attribute the negative effect of defense spending on economic growth to reduced investment. Another study argues that defense spending restricts export growth and economic growth because military expenditures compete for the same resources used in the production of exports. Which may also be a understood trade off for military spending vs. export and economic growth. However, other studies were unable to find any stable relationship between military spending and economic growth. Chester (1978) found that military spending and economic growth were positively related. A direct relationship between defense spending and economic growth was found by Ahmed (1986) in a study of the UK. Weede (1983) found evidence that...

Recent attention has even been given by Hollywood in the production of “The Other Boleyn Girl,” a major motion picture depicting the lives of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Obviously Hollywood isn’t a suitable source for a scholarly inspection of such a historical event, but the existence of this film does highlight the interest modern society has on the topic. This paper will examine the personal, political, and theological aspects of Henry VIII and the beginning of the English Reformation, and it will also explore the importance of Henry VIII as one of the reformation’s principal figures.

He stated that, “He had not only lost his language, but also his American Indian name.” According to Tsuanina Lomawauma, head of the American Indian Studies Program at the University of Arizona, the intent was to completely transform the people, inside and out. “Language, religion, family structure, economics, the way you are making a living, the way you express emotion, everything.” (American Boarding Schools 2008). The idea of these federal schooling systems was to keep the communities pacified with their children held in a school someplace far away. In Canada, the residential school system was designed to “take the Indian out of the child” was to be a noteworthy accomplishment by the government. Throughout these Canadian schools, siblings were often separated, Indian languages were forbidden (if spoken needles would be inserted through tongues) so they would learn English and French and forget their cultural language. They were not permitted to practice their traditional religious beliefs and cultural beliefs (learn to become Christian). Many as 50,000 children died in residential schools, in many cases, their parents were never told. The shattering impact of residential schools remain with us today. Separated from their families, Aboriginal children learned few parenting skills for their own children. Many have continued an intergenerational cycle of sexual and...
