Violence expressed through terrorism to genocide

This paper will focus on violence as expressed through terrorism or genocide; students can choose either of these topics. Both of these are difficult to fully define as there are different perspectives on these behaviors, however there are official definitions from which to work. Students will need to define the behavior so it is clear what is being discussed; research the history, trends and patterns, who is doing this to whom, and specific types of this violence. Because either of these can be a broad topic, a focus on a particular example would be appropriate.

Attention should be given to the possible explanations for this type of violence. We may have our assumptions and beliefs for why these types of violence occur in our world today but we need to examine them in light of the empirical evidence shared in journal articles and government reports. How can this type of behavior be explained? It is a critical area to evaluate and causes/risk factors can range from individual to cultural, groups, etc.

Further, the paper should address what has been tried and is being tried to intervene and/or curtail this type of violence in the world. Most interventions presuppose a cause or explanation for the behavior. Again, there are some excellent resources available from journals and government reports. Punishment and/or government enforcement is generally considered necessary by most, but that alone has not been fully sufficient to prevent, or at times, even reduce these expressions of violence. The paper should conclude with your reasoned analysis on the topic based upon your research.

This paper is to be a minimum of 6 pages (not counting title and reference pages) with a minimum of 7 academic and primary sources.

Problems of Vulnerable Populations

  • For the vulnerable population you had to research for the assignment, identify other social problems associated with teenagers. How do these social problems affect society on a macro level? How do these social problems affect an individual on a micro level? What factors place this population in a position of vulnerability to discrimination or exploitation?
  • For the vulnerable population you had to research for the assignment, describe historical solutions to social problems that have affected this population. Next, evaluate the effectiveness of these historical solutions: Have they worked? Why or why not? Finally, provide your own possible solution that might alleviate the social problem.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Read the scenario below.

Scenario

While planning for expansion, CapraTek is also concerned about its hiring and promotion practices at existing facilities. Management has asked for an analysis of the workforce in its flagship manufacturing facility. As the Recruiting Director for CapraTek’s major manufacturing facility you are concerned about the company’s hiring posture relative to women and minorities. Your manufacturing plant in a nearby major city especially worries you. You recently checked the latest statistics for the SMSA the plant is in and found the following:

  • Females in the labor force: 35%
  • Blacks in the labor force: 10%
  • Hispanics in the labor force: 5%
  • All other groups are 0%

To address your concerns you first looked at the selection statistics for the past 12 months. Note: This plant hires mostly unskilled laborers and then trains them. Here is what you found:

Hiring Statistics

Blacks

Hispanics

Next you looked at your existing work force and found the following:

  • Total: 450
  • Females: 50
  • Blacks: 22
  • Hispanics: 20

Finally, you looked at how protected classes are being moved up in the plant. While workers are hired as unskilled laborers, that is not the whole story. There are two higher paying options open to them: they can become skilled machine operators (by passing an in-depth company run training program) and from there they can become line supervisors (this pays even more than the skilled jobs). You are concerned about how that program works also; the statistics are as follows:

Note: The above totals do not add up to 450 or the work force totals because there are other jobs in the plant not used in this analysis.

Requirements

Using what you know about CapraTek’s hiring and promotion practices, prepare a report for top management addressing the following:

  • Analyze the data for evidence of adverse impact using the 4/5ths rule. Consider the applicant flow.
  • Analyze the data for evidence of adverse impact of employee utilization based on the relevant labor market for the state you chose in Assessment 1.
  • Analyze the data for evidence of adverse impact on any protected class concentrated in lower-paying jobs.
  • Assess CapraTek’s hiring and promotion practices to support its growth strategy.

Additional Requirements

  • Write 4–5 typed, double-spaced pages (not including title page or references).
  • Use Times New Roman font, 12 point.
  • Include a title page and, if needed, a reference page.

Essay on Biblical Integration and Choice of 6 Ethical Issues Relating to ERP Systems

Biblical Integration Essay Instructions

Overview

The goal of this essay is for you to know God in a deeper way after you are done than when you started. You will write a 1,500 word essay that examines an ethical issue and applies the provided biblical integration model to arrive at a biblical worldview of that issue and more importantly, arrive at a deeper understanding of who God is in terms of our relationship with Him. The instructions below describe what is required to complete this assignment.

Materials Required

To complete this deliverable, you will need the following materials

  • This document
  • Microsoft Word

Instructions

Select one of the following ethical issues as it relates to ERP systems:

  • Privacy
  • Access
  • Accuracy
  • Property rights
  • Green computing
  • Compliance issues (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.)

With the chosen ethical issue as a context, write a 1,500 word essay that answers the following four questions in clearly marked sections.

  • Who is God (i.e., what are His characteristics/attributes that apply to the context)?
  • What biblical principles or commands apply to the context?
  • What should our response be, based on who God is and His principles/commands? Your answer should really be one of three options: affirm what the secular worldview says as true, reject what the secular worldview says as false, or redeem the secular worldview by more closely aligning it with the principles and commands of scripture.
  • Who is God (i.e., now that you see how God’s principles have informed your response, how does that change your relationship with Him)?

Your essay must use a minimum of 5 biblical references to support your key points, but avoid quoting long passages of scripture. The idea is to write the essay in your own words, but substantiate your thoughts with biblical support.

religion, nursing

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2 of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.

In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research:

  1. How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?)
  2. In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS?
  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend your own view.

Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course readings, lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.

i will be posting two other student articles and i need comment for them too please,

please also use normal and not big words in the writing. it is just a discussion

//======================================================================

Also please make make comment for these two students: something like you like their post and s short comments for each one.

here are the students posts: Student one :

https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/health/2018/09/25/nashville-based-aspire-health-hacked-phishing-scheme-lost-health-information/1420135002/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

My article talks about how a medical center got hacked because of a phishing attack. The hacker gained access into the company’s email account and then exported 124 emails with personal client information. The article isn’t as surprising as most of the other ones in the discussion but I found it interesting that something so simple as a phishing attack that we are trained to avoid all the time is what compromised hundred’s of peoples information. I always thought that I could easily spot a phishing attack, so it’s interesting that a big company with very sensitive information fell for a simple attack like phishing.”

Student two:

https://taskandpurpose.com/gao-cyber-pentagon-weapons-hack/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

This article I chose to talk about focuses on the cyber-security at the Pentagon and how, in test runs, Test Teams were sometimes able to get access to systems and sometimes even take control of them! It’s shocking because you would think that a place like The Pentagon would have the toughest security systems, but it reminded me of the talk we had in class one time where we acknowledged that no system can ever be truly secure. Luckily, these were just test runs and they are helpful in finding was to improve security for the future, and the article does state that The Pentagon seems to be getting better at making workers aware of these security risks. The next steps would be the improve the security in these systems themselves, systems that, some of which, are years old now and the article does state something we also talked about in class which was that it’s easier to secure a system when security is built into the system as it’s being developed, rather than it be added later. This is “more difficult and costly,” the article states. Cybersecurity as a never ending battle because technology just keeps constantly innovating, and I think this article is a good example of this never ending battle.”

What is virtual ethics

  • One of the principle attractions of Aristotle’s ethics is the way in which it encourages human flourishing. Indeed, Aristotle’s ethics is largely concerned with the question of what promotes human happiness or flourishing, about what leads to a fuller and happier human life. (The Greek word for “happiness” that Aristotle uses, eudaimonia, can also be translated as flourishing or “well being.”) Virtues and vices are understood precisely within this context. Virtues are those strengths or excellences of character that promote human flourishing, whereas vice are those weaknesses of character that impede human flourishing. Virtue, Aristotle tells us, is a habit or disposition of the soul (hexis), involving both feeling and action, to seek the mean in all things relative to us, where the mean is defined through reason as the prudent man would define it. (Nicomachean Ethics, II, 6) Habits are not something that are a matter of knowledge but of practice. Only by practicing the virtues do we acquire a virtuous hexis. Aristotle is the author of the idea, action follows being. A good person does good things, or as ForestGump famously said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” A person is honest if he/she tells the truth and a person is patient when he/she acts patiently. Likewise, a person is an adulterer when he/she commits adultery, is a murderer after murdering, is a liar when lying, and is a thief when stealing. To become something different, one’s actions must change.
    You will learn much more about these principles in your readings but I also want you to note that a healthy self esteem and maintaining close friendships is also essential to the ethical life. Somehow, we have come to consider self esteem an invention of the late 20th century but this goes back to the 4th century BC.
    Virtue Ethics is the oldest of the theories we will study by nearly 2,000 years; however, it is not ridiculous to contend that it still may be the most perfect theory of ethics in the West. As you will see in the later enlightenment theories that the moral philosophers gave a great deal of credence to the possibility of the human mind. Aristotle may be more realistic in his approach realizing that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Virtue Ethics is not comprised of thou shall nots or codes of rules but about happiness and human flourishing through the development of virtues and the middle path. Even the Serenity Prayer recited at Alcoholics Anonymous is Aristotelian, “God grant me the serenity
    to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” The middle path of Aristotle even echoes familiar tones to the Buddha’s Middle Way.

    Material

    The texts for this week covers both Virtue Ethics as well as Fair Trade and issues of the common good. The book Practical Wisdom uses Aristotle to challenge our utilitarian/enlightenment/capitalist based theories of productivity. The Schwartz challenges the reader to look at quality and relationships over efficiency. It is not what we do in life but instead, how we do it. The Ethics text gives a general overview of Virtue Ethics and the principles we will apply in the cases. Everybody’s Business is an economically conservative book with a positive view of big business. The authors brag about the transformative effects of ethical businesses in the developing world. This case covers how Nike in the 2000s have done the right thing and how it has transformed the industry and communities they work in.

    1. Textbook: Chapter3, 59-65
    2. Practical Wisdom, Chapters 1-3 Download
    3. Everybody’s Business,

Using the vocabulary and principles found in Practical Wisdom, do an analysis of Nike using the chapter from Everybody’s Business in a 2-3 page paper. Make sure that your points are clear and supported with examples. Generalized statements will not count as an analysis. Do not Google Aristotle and Nike and try to write a paper. If you didn’t read the two assignments it will be immediately apparent. You should have quotes from both texts and from more than one section to show that you fully comprehended the texts. Do not simply summarize the two texts and repeat what you read. To help with your own clarity when writing, make sure you have one major concept per paragraph. If your essay is 5paragraphs plus an introduction and conclusion, I should be able to assume you are making 5 points. Each paragraph should include analysis from both texts. You should articulate your points clearly. When you are done with your paper check for grammar and spelling.
