OLAÑO Subject Teacher Submitted by: CHARISH JOY B. BAYOT 10-EINSTEIN March 2016 HISTORY OF VICES IN TEXAS The history of vice in the U.S. state of Texas has been an important part of the state's past and has greatly influenced its development. Vice activities, such as gambling and prostitution, have historically been a significant facet of both the state's culture and its economy. Law enforcement organizations have traditionally defined vice as including prostitution, gambling, alcohol and narcotics, and pornography. These activities, though always controversial, represented major influences in the state with some enterprises at times holding legendary status. The legal status of the individual activities has fluctuated substantially over time. Additionally during some periods individual communities and public officials have been accepting of many of these activities, even when they were illegal, because of corruption, because the activities were seen as inevitable, or often because the activities were economically important. Early Texas and the Republic of Texas Before the arrival of the European settlers in Texas, the plant peyote (peyotl in Nahuatl) had become a popular hallucinogenic among tribes in the Rio Grande Valley as well as parts of West Texas and Chihuahua. Tribes in the area included the Carrizo...

...It seems to be a "coming of age thing" when a student goes to college and ecounters vices such as drinking, unprotected sex and gambling. Such vices cannot be ignored anymore as to the more students seem to be detaching from their parents, they seem to be enjoying freedom too much. Some studies show that between non-college and those who are taking up college, drinking maybe quite a "thing" for college students when there are parties, events and other celebrations that can be thought of. Is this normal? A natural reaction to transitions might be the issue. From being under "rules" to the crossroads of the real life, things from the real life they might be experiencing might not come off good from the start. Such crossroads may be a time for experimenting, discovery and risky decisions. Although this might not apply to others, some of the college students who involve themselves in binge drinking, vices and even unprotected sex are either failing, dropping out or worse, ending up dead, making parents and administrators worried and that some of the laws and policies lack being implemented properly. Yes, there are deaths in students who have binge drinking and too much partying, this is caused by drinking and driving and other alcohol-related crimes. Is it because of kids' morality and views with drinking, peers and sex? Young people still need guidance, and the crossroads of their life like college, are one of the risky periods when they are tempted to try almost anything...

...highly honored and valued by God, it is uprightness. If there is anything that commands any universal appeal, honor, respect and appreciation, it is virtue. By that same token, if there is anything that has been gravely weakened and misunderstood, it is still the selfsame appellation, virtue. It saddens the heart noticing the intimidating compass in moral decadence, negligence of duties, perversion of sexual purity and the cause of justice, bribery, child abuse, kidnapping, greed, immoral acts, selfishness and other social vices. One in a state of wonderment is likely to say that virtually virtue has finally been extinct in our contemporary society. Morals have been thrown to the dogs. People in civil service, political office etc., who claim to be protecting the interests of the masses, have failed woefully. After they have elapsed their stay in their undeserving positions, they won’t want...

...A “vice” is a generic term for a bad habit. Almost all human being s have some vices. Smoking, dringking, swearing are the common vices. A few common vices do not make a person “bad” person- merely a normally weak (that is to say “human”) person. Evil vices such as racial or sexual bigotry are maligant vices, tahat lower the humanity of the person possesing that vice. Even extremely ordinary thing (like a weakness for rich desserts) can be considered a vice in an overweight person, or one who suffers from diabetes, for example. Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime --- that is, the design to injure the person or property of another --- is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practises his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property; no such things as the right...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The rate of students involved in bad vices such as smoking, hard drinking, gambling and sometimes illegal drugs, addiction in computer games and variety of gadgets are serious problems that need diplomatic actions. There are lots of reasons why the youth nowadays are being involved in bad vices. One of the major reasons per observation is the lack of quality relationship with their parents because a lot of parents are just being parents who provide material and physical needs and forget the needs of their children in terms of the emotional and moral aspects. High School senior students are driven to do bad things just to satisfy themselves with their bad vices, like stealing money from their parents, cutting their classes hours, getting into troubles in the community or even inside the school. These things may lead to even more unlikely things that they may even do notorious things to their people. The child-parent relationship is even gone worse because youths are being more and more stubborn while the parents are losing their temper and patience to understand the situation of their children. Parents tend to become stricter and they are being more authoritative to their children that may lead to a rebellion against them. Parents should not only be simply just a parent, but they also be a best friend to their children. They should spend more quality time with their family, talk to them intimately so they could...

...Case #1-Vice Part 1: Description - Article Attached Part 2: Explain Vice: In the broadest term vice can be a habit that is typically thought of as unacceptable by society. Vice, in minor practices, can be a bad habit, a defect, a fault, or a negative characteristic. In major practices it can be something more severe such as taking one’s life, committing fraud, or endangering oneself. If something is considered vice then it is viewed as wrong and improper. The opposite of vice is virtue, which is seen as positive practices, habits, and behaviors that are valued as moral excellence. Both characteristics’ can be seen in everyday life. For instance we see vice whenever we watch news reports on killing, stealing, and robbing. We also see vice in more minor everyday instances such as cheating on homework, running a red light, or cutting in line. Vice is a broad term because although one can commit minor acts of vice, one can also commit major acts of vice. Some can be forgivable, some not, but they all share the common trait that no matter how big or how small they are still wrong and society as a whole would not approve. Part 3: Explain how is vice present in this article Vice is present in this article because baby Riley’s parents willing committed wrongful acts towards an innocent baby. By freely choosing to let their nine month old baby starve, parents Justin and Brittany Alston, repeatedly performed behavior that society views as unacceptable. When baby Riley was found...

...Transformation at Harley – Davidson Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul – Harley Davidson. During Teerlink's tenure as Harley's Chief Financial Officer, was the organization structure flat or tall? Centralized or decentralized? It is important for us to get an understanding of this two critical terms, Flat organizational structure – organization has few levels as possible. Managers have broad authority and responsibility. (They work too hard). Communication is fast. Tall organizational structure – this type of structure has many levels, many different managers and communication is slow. During Teerlinks tnure from 1983- 1989 as the CFO of the company the structure was said to be flat as the Harley benched marked it’s self with Japanese manufacturing companies. This type of benchmarking can be termed as external benchmarking where you bench mark yourself with a competitor in the same industry. According to the productivity triad that occurred in 1983 where line workers were encouraged to contribute to the decision making process because they knew better than management what worked and did not. Therefore we can come to a certain argument that it was a flat organizational structure. It was decentralize, because during his period as CFO he introduced a structure that had Cross-functionality, lifelong learning, and shared leadership fuel the so-called "circle...

...Running head: TRENDS IN BUSINESS COMMUNICATION Business Communication Trends Daniel F. Gonçalo COM-285 University of Phoenix Online Business Communications Trends In order to understand business communications, we need to know exactly what it encompasses. According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, communication is “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior.” In business communication, it is communication between the people within the company to achieve the desired business activity. Business communication comes in various formats such as, written letters or memorandums, electronic mail, or at times, when not deemed policy changing, may take place verbally. Business communication plays a vital role in my day-to-day activities at work. As a recruiter, recruiting mortgage professionals throughout the United States, timely business communication is critical to my personal success and the successful growth of the company.

...Engaging Patients with User-Friendly Data By John Rother, Executive Vice President for Policy and Strategy, AARP Patients who are informed and involved play a vital role in health care delivery. In order to increase awareness among patients it is important that providers are willing to be somewhat transparent in terms of quality and cost. In reality very few patients use available information on quality and cost which could help them become smarter consumers. Insurance companies and providers have been quick to make improvements and make most decisions for patients. Hospitals have responded well when there have been reports of problems with care. For consumers to be more involved they have to be given specific information at the point of care that has meaning for them. This translates to information that is easy to understand and specific to the current diagnosis. Data should be risk assessed when appropriate, should be user friendly and standardized so any number of providers could easily compare them. While consumers largely go by a hospital’s reputation for making decisions, some may be interested in specific clinical data pertaining physician responses in an emergency situation etc. . Some patients are unable to take advantage of relevant available information. They could be stressed and vulnerable and not have time to research providers or compare data. Not all patients are capable of participating in the complex decision making with...

...http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/03/26/honda-odyssey-vacuum-cleaner-honda-vac-new-york-auto-show/2022873/ NEW YORK -- An automaker thinks it has finally solved the problem that has dogged family vehicles since the dawn the automotive age: an easy way to get rid of all the junk that drops between the seats. Honda is bringing what it says is the industry's first vacuum cleaner to 2014 Odyssey minivan, which will be displayed here at the New York Auto Show opening this week. The small HondaVAC, as its being called, is built into the minivan's rear well. It is meant to be an easy solution to the bane of parents everywhere who have seen the accumulation grow after any long car trip -- tiny tiny mountains of stray french fries, straw wrappers, pennies and Skittles from stem to stern. The most obvious of all minivan options grew out of the idea of a single engineer who came back from a trip with his kids frustrated about the garbage that accumulated in the family vehicle, says Tami Giammarco, a Honda senior engineer in Ohio. "We found it would have a lot of value to our customers," she says. So the team started scouting gas stations and car washes to figure out the secrets of the best auto vacs. The result was a small unit with a hose long enough to reach the entire minivan cabin. It comes with two heads, a wide one and a narrow one for crevices. In a test run by USA TODAY with a variety of junk food, the vac easily sucked up Froot Loops cereal but choked...
