...Introduction: As I prepare to enter the professional world, I understand that I will be likely forced to make decisions based on my personal ethical code and the ethical code of the American Marketing Association. For this paper, I have utilized a combination of my personal and professional experience along with a variety of professional sources to reflect on how I can act ethically during my career. Additionally, I will utilize Mayeroff's On Caring and Dokecki’s book along with the lecture slides to help the role that ethics will play in my professional career. My Personal Background: In tieing my experiences back to the idea of ethics, I cannot ignore the major role that my disability has played in the way that I view the world, my concept...

...Reporting Practices and Ethics Gordon Wilson 3/3/2014 HCS 405 Financial management consists of ethical standards and reporting practices. Monetary managing is the supervision of a business or organization’s finances in order to reach financial goals. The main intention of financial management is to generate capital for the organization, produce a progressive cash flow, and deliver a suitable recurrence in funds. Moreover, there are four elements of financial management that are very important to any health care organization as well as the generally accepted accounting principles related to health care. The four elements of financial management are planning, controlling, decision making, organizing and directing. A financial manager needs to understand and implement each of the four elements to ensure the success of a business. While planning the financial manager need to recognize goals and classify the steps that are necessary for achieving these goals. A financial manager recognizes the procedures that must be completed to achieve the organization’s goals. The organizing and directing element of financial management makes sure the most recent resources are used and provides daily supervision. The financial manager determines how the resources of the organization will be used in order to successfully complete plans that have been established. The controlling element of financial management is to ensure procedures are being followed. Financial managers ensure all ranges...

...believe resiliency is a personality trait. There is some aversion to the use of resiliency, however, as it gives the impression that some are better than others. Resilience is applicable to both adults and children. This paper will focus on the childhood aspect of resilience. Over the years, it has been a topic of interest among researchers as to how some children manage to overcome adversity and thrive, while others suffer psychological and physical distress. As a result, much of the early research carried out on resilience looked at “three sets of factors implicated in the development of resilience: (1) attributes of the children themselves, (2) aspects of their families, and (3) characteristics of their wider social environments” (Vanderbilt-Adriance & Shaw, 2008, pg. 31). Recently, research has shifted from identifying key characteristics of resilient children to understanding how these factors affect a child’s ability to handle adversity. Despite extensive research on the subject, there is still controversy over how to apply these findings for practical use. This can be contributed to the fact that past research used multiple tests across different populations. According to Prince-Embury & Saklofske (2013), “the research-based tools employed in previous research have often been impractical for widespread use in the schools and communities because they are too labor intensive, expensive,...

...© Roger Bougie 2011 The Larouche Candy Company In 1864 Henricus Larouche started making high-quality chocolate in his kitchen in Ooigem, Belgium. Henricus learned his trade at a famous chocolate shop in Paris, and he and his wife began to make chocolate in bars, wafers and other shapes soon after Henricus had returned to Belgium to start his own business. The Belgian people loved Larouche’s chocolate and the immediate success soon caused him to increase his production facilities. Henricus decided to build a chocolate factory in Kortrijk, a nearby city in the Flemish province West Flanders. With mass-production, the company was able to lower the per-unit costs and to make chocolate, once a luxury item, affordable to everybody. The Larouche Candy Company flourished, expanded its product lines and acquired related companies during the following decades. Within a century the company had become Belgium’s leading candymanufacturer employing over 2,500 people. Today, The Larouche Candy Company is one of the biggest manufacturers of chocolate and nonchocolate confectionery products in Europe. Under the present leadership of Luc Larouche the company has become truly innovative. What’s more, the company has adopted a very proactive approach to marketing planning and is therefore a fierce competitor in an increasingly global marketplace. The number of products the company produces and markets has increased dramatically; at this moment there are more than 250 Larouche Candy...

...Will Gorham Journal 1 ENGM 244 – 1 In our first lecture Professor Birdsong focused on three main points: networking, Jordan’s theory of options, and goal setting. Regarding networking, she emphasized that the key to business success is managing relationships. Without successful interpersonal relationships one can expect to struggle finding success in the business world. According to NPR, 70-80% of jobs are acquired through networking and relationships instead of formally submitting an application through a job posting (http://www.npr.org/2011/02/08/133474431/a-successful-job-search-its-all-about-networking). This has proved true in my own life as well. Of all the jobs I’ve worked, I have only been hired once through a formal application process. For every other job or internship I have worked at, I was hired because of the relationships I had with people at the company or through my extended network. The importance of relationships and communication also applies inside of organizations. No matter what type of business one works for they will be constantly interacting with other people, particularly if they are in a leadership position. Jordan’s theory of options describes the phenomenon of how, as a person ages their options gradually decrease and their responsibilities increase. This is particularly true from a career standpoint. Older individuals who have been working in a particular field for much of their lives have much less career mobility than younger people who...

Executives at each firm (Kenneth Lay, Bernard Ebbers, Dennis Kozlowski, and Mark H. Swartz amongst others) served jail time for their role in these scandals, which severely eroded the public’s trust in the corporate sector. Tyco’s stock plunged from $60.00 to $18.00 in the wake of the scandal, and many employee stockholders saw their savings dissolve (Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative). MCI Worldcom employees/stockholders saw even larger losses, as the stock decreased in price from $64.50 in mid-1999 to pennies shortly after announcement of the fraudulent accounting practices. On a personal note, my sister, after preparing hundreds of severance packages for employees of MCI Worldcom,...

...The Patriot Act Vs The United States Constitution Khadija Nurul Hasan Chaffey College The Patriot Act Vs The United States Constitution The “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism” Act, or Patriot Act was passed on October 24th, 2001 with almost all legislators in favor of it. The terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, sparked a nationwide desire for heightened security and increased abilities for law-enforcement agencies to track and stop terrorists. Thus, the Patriot Act was created in response, and passed with the aim of battling terrorism. However there are always two sides to any passing of a political law: those who support it and those who oppose it. Those who support the Patriot Act have consistently countered that the provisions of the Act are necessary to protect the people from future terrorist attacks, and that the law does an adequate job of protecting individual civil liberties; while those who oppose it argue that the Act is an egregious assault on individual liberties as it violates their constitutional rights. The hypothesis of this paper is to dissect and analyze Sections of the Patriot Act to see if they are in violation of the United States Constitution. Specifically the paper will analyze Sections 505, 215 of the Patriot Act to see if they violate the Constitution. The first violation in question comes from Section 505 of...

...the current state of affairs at HoloSolar Industries and restore its success, as filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy is not an advisable option. I would like to now provide a better understanding of where these recommendations come from. Results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) place me in the ISTJ category. This type of person is typically viewed as someone whose decision-making is thorough and logical, and who takes “pleasure in making everything orderly and organized” (Myers-Briggs). I received a high consideration score (72) on my personal LOQ (Leadership Opinion Questionnaire), an attribute which should be beneficial for a company struggling with discontented employees. A high compliance score on my DISC assessment relates to the importance I place in technical, careful, and accurate work – a testament that reinforces my MBTI result. Of course my proposal is based on more than just these personality tests. While attending Vanderbilt University I studied applied behavioral science within the engineering management discipline, an experience from which I draw much of my expert recommendations. In addition, I support my claims with information taken from prominent books, including Peter Drucker’s “The Essential Drucker,” Daniel Pink’s “A Whole New Mind,” Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” and Stephen Covey’s “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” Task 1 To gain understanding of the situation, my first step was to gather information...

...The word ‘emotion’ dates back to 1579, when it was adapted from the French word ‘emouvoir, which means “to stir up”. No aspect of our mental life is more important to the quality and meaning of our existence than emotions. They are what make life worth living, or sometimes ending. “In psychology an emotion is often defined as a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behaviour.” David G Myers. The “James-Lange” theory of emotion after William James and Carl G Lange also defines emotion as specific feelings caused by changes in physiological conditions relating to the autonomic and motor functions. Figure1. Diagram depicting the definition of an emotion. For more than forty (40) years Paul Ekman has supported the view that emotions are discrete, measurable and physiologically distinct. Ekmans most influential work revolved around finding that certain emotions appeared to be universally recognized even in cultures that were preliterate. His research findings led him to classify six emotions as basic : sadness, happiness, anger, disgust, fear, and surprise. Sadness is an emotion that is produced from an array of visceral feelings like loss, sorrow and disadvantage (Lang, 1993). It is important to realise that the emotional state of sadness is only temporary and that the prolonged feelings of sorrow and unhappiness may be the result of an emotional disorder like depression (Haneli, Shomrat & Hess, 2009). Happiness...

...the August 11, 1998 Wall Street Journal: Work Hard, Play Hard: Employers use fun to boost morale All 25 partners at Certilman, Balin, Adler & Hyman, an East Meadow, N.Y., law firm, are invited to a free conference-room lunch every day. Managing partner Bernard Hyman says the lunches began as a chance to talk business but soon became anticipated social gatherings. “We tell stories, talk about the weekend,” he says, “talk about the football game, talk about our husbands, talk about our wives, talk about our children.” During lunchtime at JW Genesis Financial Corp., Boca Raton, Fla., Vice Chairman Joel Marks lets workers view his TV-sitcom tapes, including “Seinfeld,” “Mary Tyler Moore” and “Taxi.” Terry Deal, business professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., says companies that bring play and celebration into the workplace often have higher profits. A book he co-wrote cites as an example Southwest Airlines, which encourages crews to joke with passengers. But he says few companies incorporate play: “One thing we are finding over and over is that work just isn’t any fun anymore.” Some observers would argue the fun work place is just another fad? What do you think? Does having fun at work lead to higher productivity? Use course concepts to formulate your response. Your Answer: I believe that there needs to be balance between fun and work. If people do not enjoy their job it will lead to lower productivity. My last job was in retail and the store manager...

...Comprehensive assessment Parent teacher Situational variability, and Important tio have different views of the situation for diagnosis Equally important is the need for gathering information about the child's parents and siblings, which provides a context for understanding how problem behaviors manifest. This information also often serves as a basis for determining how well parents and other caretakers will be able to implement treatment strategies. The clinical evaluations of ADHD must be comprehensive and multidimensional in nature, so as to capture its situational variability, its associated features, and its impact on home, school, and social functioning. This multi-method assessment approach should include: parent and child interviews parent- and teacher-completed child behavior rating scales parent self-report measures clinic-based psychological tests review of prior school and medical records individually administered intelligence testing, educational achievement testing, or screening for learning disabilities (only necessary if not completed within the past year a standard pediatric examination or neurodevelopmental screening to rule out any unusual medical conditions that might produce ADHD-like symptoms additional assessment procedures may be recommended, including vision and hearing screening, as well as formal speech and language assessment.

...Meeting the needs of gifted learners poses a challenge for most educators, thus gifted leaners need to be identified and nurtured for the benefit of gifted learners, educators and the community at large. This essay is going to examine 3 blanket characteristics of a gifted learner and suggest strategies to enhance giftedness in teaching and learning process. Eric (1985) groups characteristics of gifted learners into general behavioural, learning and creative features. A variety of approaches can be used to meet the needs of gifted learners in the classroom. The teacher or educator has the following our areas when developing the curriculum: * The content of the curriculum subject * The processes that engage the students * The products of their studies * The learning environment Definition of terms Giftedness Definition 1: Giftedness is ‘a synchronous development’ in which advanced cognitive abilities and heightened intensity combine to create inner experiences and awareness that are qualitatively different from the norm. This asynchrony increases with higher intellectual capacity. The uniqueness of the gifted renders them particularly vulnerable and requires modifications in parenting, teaching and counselling in order for them to develop optically (Columbus Group, 1991) Definition 2: Giftedness is the possession and use of untrained and spontaneously expressed natural abilities (called aptitudes or gifts) in at least one ability domain to a degree that places...
