...Crime Causation Sharon Semien BUS303 August 9, 2011 Katina Douglas Crime Causation In 1980, an Illinois jury convicted John Wayne Gacy for killing 33 young boys and men. Sarcastically, after his conviction, the infamous killer (also known as “The Killer Clown”) said “I should have never been convicted of anything more serious than running a cemetery without a license” (Star Quotes, 2009, p. 1). Obviously, something intrusively wrong resonated in Gacy for him to make such a statement that negated the intensity of his actions. Gacy buried majority of his victims under the crawl space of his home and discarded other victims in the Des Plaines River (Bell & Bardsley, 2011). People often question what would make someone do such vicious and torturous acts on another person. Criminologists developed theories explaining the reasons people deviate from societal norms and commit immoral acts laws prohibit (Schmallenger, 2003). Particularly, in this case, John Wayne Gacy is a person suitable to study. Certainly, a few crime causation theories explain how his upbringing, life experiences, and other deep, underlying issues led him to committing crimes to the extent he did. Gacy’s Background Information Gacy was the only son of three children born to Marion and John Gacy. He had an older sister (Joanne) and younger sister (Karen). The Gacy’s were a middle-classed, Catholic family who lived on the north side of Chicago. As a young boy in middle school, Gacy kept...

...Analyzing a Job Misty Diaz HRM/531 Human Capital Management July 18, 2011 Carol Jackett Analyzing a Job This paper will discuss changes made to a job description that was acquired from jobseekers.com for a Sales Representatives/Service at Catholic Healthcare West. A job description is used to describe in writing the overall summary of a task or job requirements ( Wayne F. Cascio, 2010). Many organizations use job descriptions to ensure that the employees are aware of what he or she will be entering into as far as position requirements. When many people look for employment, a job description can verify if he or she has the qualifications for the position prior to applying for the job. Organizations use job descriptions when recruiting for positions within or outside of the organization. Determining a Need to Create Job Position When reviewing the job description posted on jobseekers.com for the Sales Representatives/Service, their need for this job position was urgent. The reasoning behind this was because the start date actually was for someone to start as soon as possible. I would have changed that for a start date to be tentative pending a review. The former makes the description of the job sound too desperate. This description could cause a multitude of unqualified people to apply for the position. As the mentality could be that the organization would take anyone for this position, thus possibly sounding unprofessional and undignified. Strategy...

...Media Report Paper Linda McGee & Wayne Miller University of Phoenix Media Report Paper A vital responsibility of an educator is examining the role of the media reporting of testing results. As well, how such results are taken and made relevant to making state and national decisions for education. When scrutinizing the results of testing, several matters need to be considered. Investigation of a report for the appropriateness for making high-stake decisions, whether or not there can be another way for fulfilling that purpose, and the relevance of accessing growth over time all need consideration when evaluating results within a report that is assessing our nation’s youth educationally. In looking at the appropriateness for making high-stake decisions in the description results for National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), it’s appropriate in a way because it is at least the same test being used for all the states and it also is measuring the same grade level year to year. However, the NAEP does not take into account the funding for different school districts. As well, there are cases of missing data for some states in subject areas, therefore skewing the data. Also, it admittedly cannot account for the higher instances in some states of disabilities and English Language Learners. Overall, it is not very appropriate given all the factors that could be faulty in its measurement endeavors to be a tool used...

...disabilities who work in the federal government (Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Laws). In some cases there are lawsuits filed by the disabled due to a failure of the disability network. A lawsuit would be “Non-Profit Whose Mission Is to Help Disabled Individuals Failed to Accommodate and Then Fired Deaf Employee, Federal Agency Charged,” which appeared to happen in Detroit. DETROIT - Metropolitan Detroit Center for Independent Living, d/b/a Disability Network / Wayne County will pay $38,500 and provide equitable relief to settle a federal disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. According to the EEOC's suit, Disability Network denied a deaf employee, who worked as an independent living specialist for the non-profit, reasonable accommodations such as TTY equipment, a video phone and the ability to use text messaging. The complaint also alleged that Disability Network rejected the employee's requests, failed to provide him with alternate accommodations, and finally fired him because he is deaf. Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). After first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process, the EEOC sued Disability Network (EEOC v. Metropolitan Center for Independent Living d/b/a Disability Network / Wayne County, Case No. 4:14-CV-12118) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District Court of Michigan. In addition to the...

Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship LOG 5010 - International Transport & Logistics Term The Logistics Plaza of Zaragoza is the largest logistic park in Europe. It is a ten-year project that started in 2000, which is now at the middle of its completion. There are not many articles on logistic parks up till now because it is a very recent development. Generally, logistic activities would grow around strategic part without any pre-planning. Due to overcrowding of those areas, governments are now trying to place logistics in more decentralized regions and are trying to create services in order to attract customers. Case Study Summary The case of Plaza can serve as an instance for potential development, helping to assess the feasibility of newer projects in the same field. In the text, there are a lot of examples of automotive or hi-tech parks; however, there are no preceding case studies that are purely on logistic park. Plaza has been built in order to generate more jobs in Aragon, which is an area of Spain where population is continuously decreasing. (Watson, 2015) It aims to retain and focus on the existing young population, particularly highly skilled labor and Foreign Direct Investment in Spain and increase investment in Research and Development in a country in order to become successful in Europe.

...Effects of “One Giant Step to Humankind” Outreach Project in the Level of Social Consciousness Of the Grade VI Students Is presented to Dr. Nicasio A. Manatan As partial fulfillment to the requirements of Philosophy of Education in Master of Education in Child Study Philippine Normal University By Cheryll S. Leus March 2012 Introduction One of the principles in learning is that “students learn by doing.” Once they are interested in something, they are focused and can easily absorb everything. According to Birkenholz, learning is often defined as a change in behavior. Learning occurs when people take new found information and incorporate it into their life (www.umsl.edu). In this light that the teacher in Social Studies VI asked the students to conceptualize and put into action a project that can contribute in eradicating poverty in the Philippines. The teacher believes that once a person knows something about the problem, he/she has responsibility to help solve it. Engaging the pupils in solving it will eventually develop a socially oriented individual who is critically aware to what is happening in his/her surrounding. And will soon be an effective agent of change in our society. Not everything is learned within the four walls of the classroom. Students may learn things necessary to life but not everything about life. It is important to expose them to the real world outside the school...
