For the past few years, the dashboard cameras have been some help on catching police brutality. But what about body cameras? Would they make a better more positive impact in the police...

...towards others. We can’t get away with being rude our entire lives and never expect to pay the consequences. Our actions will always lead to some sort of punishment or reward. A disrespectful person will not be followed by good things. If a person is being treated with respect, they are being shown that you expect good things to precede you and them as well. A wise man shows regard for another’s thoughts. Recent studies (conducted by the University of California, Davis) reveal that a happy person that desires a peaceful existence gives and receives more respect as opposed to a person with blatant disrespect for those around them. Today, so many of us are busy with our own hectic schedules that we don’t have a lot of room for anyone else or their needs or feelings. This doesn’t show the intention of being rude or disrespectful, but in reality that is exactly what it translates into. We are losing out on so many things by being rude and inconsiderate. We miss opportunities to excel and to better ourselves as an individual as well as for your career. Since the first key step to building any relationship, whether it be work related or personal, is respect, then the absence or breakdown of respect is a key factor in the breakdown relationships and the occurrence of conflict. Another way of understanding why respect is so important is to imagine a world without respect. Think, if nobody has respect for others views and/or thoughts, what would the situation be? We would live...

...society has become less of an option and more of a necessity. When it comes to looking for jobs, internships, and even business loans, your education background is one of the first things reviewed. A solid education will allow for opportunities that may not have been available without it. In previous decades college was looked at as a luxury and therefore not essential for such opportunities. With today’s new fad of attending college it has made the job market extremely competitive. And with this competition the better education background you have, the more of an advantage you have over others. Many base success on your career and status which is often founded by a good education. Like anything, education has its cost and it does not come cheap. The average college student graduates with 26,000 dollars in debt. As it may seem college is expensive enough. However, because of inflation, the demand for a solid education, technology, and resources, college cost is increasing at a rapid rate that will not only affect the common student but also take a toll on the society as a whole. Inflation is usually known to be the cause of the general cost of living increasing over time. Inflation causes the consumers buying power to be decreased. With the price of foods, goods, and services increasing, that also includes college. Naturally as cost increase we seek more income. That is not to leave out the incomes of college authorities and staff, they also expect more. That is one cost that is...

...separates truth from untruth is perspective; the way in which we see the picture. As the esteemed legend which was John Grierson, celebrated as the ‘father’ of British documentary making, most famously proclaimed: “the only reality which counts in the end is the interpretation which is profound” (Berkeley University of California, 2003). It is all a matter of perspective. However, with this said, it is crucial that we concede upon the inevitable when it comes to documentary viewing: the complete picture is always obscured. Andrew Morgan’s The True Cost does not escape this reality. Like it or not, all documentaries are, and always will remain, versions of the truth. But this has not stopped the...

...Mobile Tech Advances in “Stealing My Privacy” Mobile Technology has been around us all for some time now. It didn’t just show up in the last five to seven years. It made its debut into society as we know it far beyond that. Some may think that it showed up with the appearance of mobile phones. I mean, we all remember the amazing event that debuted a device that was to change our lives, change our way of thinking and morph our interactions with the world. I am speaking of the iPhone here. It was, in a word from the late Steve Jobs, “revolutionary”. There was so much that could be done with a 3.7” device in the palm of your hand: Email, Internet and Social Media, just to name a few. I pose the question, what about before this became a “thing”? It is a fact that ten years ago, the Smartphone was in infancy, tablet computers as they are today did not exist, and most business was conducted in person or in ways that seem tedious today. The access to business information and applications through mobile devices has grown exponentially, and there is no sign that this will stop. Apple’s iPhone and iPad running iOS and smartphones running Google Android are dominating the mobile business market, due to their flexibility and ease-of-use (SwitchPay, 2014). However, just because it is simple and easy to use and implement doesn’t necessarily warrant its acceptance. There are several other countries abroad that have not adopted mobile tech as widely as the United States. Not...

...3) The time and cost to incarcerate prostitutes is never recouped and is therefore lost revenue. 4) It would reduce violence and abuse among women. 5) It is a victimless crime involving two consenting adults. If prostitution were legalized, prostitutes would be taxed, earning revenue for the country and have job benefits, such as security and healthcare, allowing for a safer and healthier work environment. Prostitution is a profession that has been around for more than a millennia. However, it seems to be a sore subject that leaves people at odds with one another. One may ponder whether the profession should even exist, while another may believe there is no harm in allowing the profession to thrive. Although one may see the profession as a cesspool for diseases and find it immoral to perform such acts, one can't help but notice the benefits of legalizing prostitution. If prostitution were legalized, prostitutes would be taxed, earning revenue for the country and have job benefits, such as security and healthcare, allowing for a safer and healthier work environment. If prostitution were legalized, prostitutes would be on payroll and have their income taxed, thus bringing more revenue to the economy. While one may like prostitution to be banned all together, it is highly unlikely considering how long the profession has been around. Consider illegal immigrants working here for less wages and off the books, meaning not being taxed. Why is it we are more bothered...

...discussions that had expanded my way of thinking, some them were emotional, and some of them created some doubts. With my experience with the community service volunteering program, I had a chance to get to know the community on a closer look, and because of the fact that this program was mandatory, I felt like it was a smart way of enhancing morality and social awareness for us toward a better future. Planning your future Since I was a kid, I always dreamt of being a millionaire, and some people will argue that this is not a dream, but it’s a goal to achieve. Where I come from, a dollar means something, so I was raised to appreciate and always know that nothing lasts forever. When I was around thirteen, I saw my dad work 8 hours a day to come home tired and not in the mood to talk or listen. So I always had a question in my mind, do I really want to end up working for a company that tells me what to do and how to do? Or do I want to be my own man? Be my own boss. And at that moment I realized what I wanted to be. An entrepreneur. I was always fascinated by technology and how it will make our life easier. I want to open up my own software company, it will be mainly for creating and developing applications for phones and other gadgets, the first main issue I might face will be to financially be secure when I start this project, I have talked to my brother and he agreed that he will be joining me in this project, which boosted my confidence that I am a step closer to achieve my dream...

...Why Do Operating Systems Differ? “Many people take the way goods and services are provided to them for granted” Why do we as a people not fully appreciated the process in which our goods are provided to us? Some would say it’s due to the convenience in which we can obtain our goods, having almost anything we desire a drive or click of a mouse away. Other’s I believe truly do not know how the very goods they consume or buy on a daily basis get to where they are available for us. Since we will be talking about different goods and services, we will obviously talk about the difference in the process in which these goods are made readily available to the masses. Here we will discuss the production and distribution of your favorite sneaker selling store, Krispy Kreme Donuts, and the Medical Records department of a Hospital. All of us have a neighborhood store in which we favor when looking for a fresh pair of sneakers. I use my neighborhood Sports Lane store for which I worked for a year when I was a teenager. There were several components when it came to its operating system; a system than may not have been perfect sometimes, but was always built for profits. When I started working there the employees were broken up in to three groups. We had our sellers who sold the merchandise, we had our packers and organizers who unloaded and set up the merchandise in our storage; then we had our managerial team who worked the registers as well forever working and critiquing the presentation...

Consider illegal immigrants working here for less wages and off the books, meaning not being taxed. Why is it we are more bothered by illegal immigrants not paying their fair share of taxes than prostitutes? They are legal citizens getting paid to perform a service tax free, which should be against the law, not the service provided. The taxes that tax payers pay now go into municipalities such as the police department and the judicial system. Therefore, taxpayer's money is being wasted when police pursue prostitutes for a victimless crime, resulting in a brief stay in jail with no added penalties. If prostitutes are fined for an infraction, it cost more money...

...“management” situation you have encountered. Why has contingency thinking become increasingly important for modern managers? Contingency thinking is when management does not follow other management system or sets of procedures. This is because many situations may come up that do not fit in with how other management theories should play out. The idea is that managers basically follow their own sets of management ideology because situations will always vary and what works one situation may not necessarily work for another situation. 3.) Identify 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of a Bureaucratic organization structure. Where might one be useful and where would one be inappropriate? When going with a bureaucratic ideology, it is so structured and organized and requires specialized skill that a major advantage would be performance itself. That is if it is done correctly. Also, because it based on organization and structure, everyone learns the same skill and therefore there is no judgement coming from management. One of the major disadvantages of instilling bureaucratic theories for management is that too much authority may be vested in too few people and cause managers to ignore protocol in order to get the job done. This leads me to another disadvantage that when following this organizational structure may cause and that is underperformance. Because the bureaucratic organizational system may require people to follow many stricter rules and regulations along with rapid decision...

Early on in the United States the normal affected persons with this disease was men who have same sex partners, and those who used drugs and needles. But in today’s society AIDs has become more serious in the Black American and Hispanic/Latino population. Today many are still affected directly like thousands of gay and bisexual men and others injecting drug users daily. Many of the poor Americans are more likely to be affected with this disease. Within this population the homosexual poor males are more likely to become affected because of the lack of disease control and preventative contraception. The federal budget for spending on domestic HIV epidemic has risen many AIDs organizations have become mobile to help with testing and treatment. On average an AIDs patient annual health care cost is around twenty thousand dollars. The sicker the AIDs patient the higher the cost of care. Patients with low CD4 cell count average around forty four thousand year in health care coverage and at home care. This total is in medical supplies as well. The prescriptions are included in the amount of health care coverage costs yearly as well. This is an expensive disease and there are so many ways to prevent one from contracting it. But it is still an epidemic in America. There are other ways the cost can vary such as according to the age of the patient. For gay males the cost is nineteen thousand a...

...a modernized version of what it set out to destroy. Emperors and palaces replaced by Communist officials, CEOs and skyscrapers. This shook my faith in Human's as we seem truly incapable of rising above our nature to use intellectual social systems to make the world a good place for all people. This level of hypocrisy, while disappointing, was not new to me. Politicians at home always acted hypocritically. Invading countries while preaching peace and calling for austerity while living in mansions. The reason why this hypocrisy shocked me so much was because of how badly people suffered from it. The suffering of 100s of millions of people so that extravagant wealth could be created for the few. Communist revolutions all involve in powering the workers however this nearly always is abandoned quickly and the workers are exploited as happened in the Soviet Union under Stalin. In China it's less obvious. There is not one man, one face that we can accredit the rule of China too. The communist party that governs the country has over 100 million members but only a few have real power. This faceless government makes it seem omnipotent since no one man carries the power it cannot be killed. When I think of China in this way, with all of its 1.3 billion people being controlled by a dictatorial government in disguise it becomes, obviously, less communist. Communist China became Communist at the price of blood. Blood of men that believed in the ideals of communism, ideal I...

...Social media, the monster that we have created that has rapidly grown to a size where no one can stop it for good. Social media is defined as an instrument of social communication, or in other words content that is shared by users to other users using freely available websites. The fact is that now it has gotten to this level we will always have these websites and programs around for longer than we can foresee. There will always be another face book site or a new youtube, we simply can’t stop it now. This wouldn’t be such a bad thing if we weren’t so reliant on our social media sites. The obsessive need of Facebook and other social networking sites is completely out of control. It seems as though no one can live without it, it’s almost as if the internet went down tomorrow no one would know what to do. How would we know what events are happening or when people’s birthdays are? How would we talk to all of our friends? There are a lot of obvious alternatives but they have become more of accessories and not fads, such as email mobile phones and in my opinion most of the appeal to facebook is just how many people are using it, if there weren’t over so many people that used facebook every week then it would lose a lot of its power. Facebook has admitted that there are over 5 million people joining facebook every week. Here are some of Facebook’s most recent statistics. There are over 750 million active facebook users, 50 percent of these users use facebook every day. The average...
