...scenario became a little more difficult. The scenarios took Stephen through a process to achieve the desired result and explained why things needed to be don’t in a certain way. For example, a big decision is to analyze all the information a then make a decision what is the first thing to do. For the first scenario, the first thing to do figure out what the problem is which meant talking to the female worker and explaining that all attempts would be made to keep her information confidential, however dependent on the allegations that it may not be completely possible. The next step was to find out who the primary stakeholders were. This was a difficult task for the author that prompted a review of outline materials referencing ethical stakeholders. The ethical lens was used to determine what the author should do initially was the Rights and Responsibilities Lens (Ethics game, 2007). The rights and responsibilities lens allowed the author to look at what ‘duties’ were required in this scenario (Ethics game, 2007). The second scenario was a little more straightforward than the first scenario. The process was similar to the process in scenario one. The first thing to do is establish exactly what the problem is, then what is the most important, or first thing that must be done to remedy the problem. After that is done, then next thing to...

...literacy activities (although they are not referring to Facebook specifically): “From teachers’ perspectives, all of these presumably pleasurable experiences with multimedia detract from students’ engagement with their real work. Within the classroom economy technology work is time off task; it is classified as a sort of leisure recreational activity.” This dichotomy can be broken down, though; students’ enthusiasm for and immersion in these nonacademic literacies can be used to complement their learning of critical inquiry and traditional academic concepts like rhetorical analysis. Although they read these texts daily, they are often unaware of the sophisticated rhetorical analysis they employ while browsing others’ profiles (or as they decide what to add to or delete from their own page). Engaging students in a rhetorical analysis of Facebook can take advantage of this high-interest area — where most students are already rhetorically savvy but unaware of their critical processes — to teach the often...

...Leading the Rescue of the Miners in Chile Disaster struck on August 5, 2010. Thirty-three miners, drilling 700 meters (2,300 feet) below the surface, were entombed by a massive cave-in. They had been working in a medium-sized copper and gold mine beneath the moonlike wilderness of the Atacama Desert near the city of Copiapó, Republic of Chile (Chile), some 800 kilometers (500 miles) north of the country’s capital, Santiago. Chilean Mining Minister Laurence Golborne had arrived in Quito, Ecuador, at 9 p.m. that same day with Chilean President Sebastián Piñera on a state visit. At 11 p.m., Golborne’s smart phone came to life with a message whose brevity spoke urgency: “Mine cave-in, Copiapó; 33 victims.” Golborne informed the president the next morning and flew on commercial air flights to Lima, Peru, and then to Santiago. He then took a Chilean Air Force (FACH) flight to Copiapó, and, from there, he was driven some 45 kilometers to the mine, finally arriving at 3:30 a.m. on August 7. Piñera, a business-friendly Chilean president inaugurated on March 11, 2010, had recruited Golborne, an engineer, entrepreneur, and corporate executive, to serve as Chile’s minister of mines. Golborne had served as chief executive of Cencosud S.A., a large retail firm, and under his leadership, the company had increased annual sales ten-fold, entered the Brazilian, Colombian, and Peruvian markets, and opened two new business lines, including financial William and Jacalyn Edgar Professor of Management...
