Over the last decade, there has been an increase in the number of crimes associated with college students. By comparing the current crime rates in all our college campuses, experts have indicated that campus crime rates have risen exponentially over the last century (Flowers 23). Psychologists have blamed this unprecedented increase on stress, romantic obsession, relationship anguish, and drug abuse. Notably, relationship anguish, romantic obsession, and drug abuse have been cited as the leading causes of campus crimes in the U.S. Currently, law enforcers, researchers and college administrators are struggling to find ways of controlling violence, crimes, and unusual behaviors within our colleges. On the other hand, students, staff, faculty, and external communities are being called upon to advocate for nonviolent behaviors and acts (Wessler & Margaret 45). Through this, they will reduce their chances of falling victims of campus related crimes. This paper focuses on types of campus crimes, their causes, and the responsibilities college administrators have on their prevention. Types of crimes and their causes College crimes include all acts of breaking laws or rules governed by both college authorities and law enforcement authorities. The most rampant crimes committed by college students are binge drinking, underage drinking, and drug abuse. Other extreme crimes committed within the campuses are murder, burglary, robbery, vehicle theft, and sexual assaults. According to the college administrators’ records, crimes in campuses were minimal in the 19th century and in the early 20 th century. The decreased rate of crime was attributed to minimal student populations in colleges, few non-foreign college students, and strong cultural values. In the early 20 th century, there was an increased in the number of students accessing college education. To cope up with the increase, several colleges had to be expanded. Similarly, during this period, there was an increase in the number of foreign students in our colleges. As the population increased, during the 20 th century, the number of crimes within the college campuses skyrocketed. Currently, increase in campus crimes has been an issue to most college students and administrators. It is noted that the increase in campus crimes affects the students, college administrators, college staff, and the community at large. In a recent U.S Campus survey, a report indicated that there is an increased in the number of murder crimes committed by college students. This trend is not only disturbing, but also compromises on the relationships among students within the campus. In a similar survey, it is indicated that murder crimes in colleges mostly occur between the months of A
Beowulf, the Sweden warrior elegized in the cognominal epic Old English poem is an idealized person depicting the character traits admired and highly valued among medieval European people. The poem addresses Beowulf’s personality in his two stages of life: when he is a young warrior and after forty years, in his final period of life at the age of about sixty to seventy years. Through the story telling of the poem it becomes evident that its main character is somehow corrupted by the glory, power and money he acquires for his acts of bravery; still, his main qualities are evident even in the end of the poem. Generally, Beowulf can be seen as a brave, proud and heroic person relying on God and such virtues as valor, courtesy and accolade. Speaking about Beowulf’s characteristic given in the poem, I would mention the next passage from it which, to my mind, best summarizes the qualities that mark this epic hero’s personality: “Nor have I seen a mightier man-at-arms on this earth…he is truly noble. This is no mere hanger-on in a hero’s armor” (Heaney, p. 26). The passage describes Beowulf’s strongest character traits including his courage, strength, and valor. During the three stages of the poem this description of the character is evidently seen; however, his virtue and valor have a strong tendency to diminish under the influence of different circumstances. With each of his battles Beowulf’s personality finds some new black spots on it. This is evident in his motivation and the methods he uses to conquer his adversaries. From a noble desire to save peaceful people from a crafty monster to being motivated by the thirst for money and glory, Beowulf goes through the pathway of deterioration. In his earlier battles he resorts to the use of honest methods, and battles his enemies by means of his own strength, but with the duration of time we see him using magic and assistance from the bottom of the others. The poem’s passage related above describes its main protagonist both in his period of life when he is young and old. In his early life years, the character is seen as the embodiment of the qualities mentioned in the passage. He is a stronghold of integrity and honesty. Unfortunately, as time passes by, he develops bad qualities as thirst for money and praise; these burning desires corrupt Beowulf and he is no longer the embodiment of the best character traits for a noble man in the end of the poem. Concluding on all the above related information, it should be stated that Beowulf can be considered the embodiment of the qualities best describing a medieval noble man and warrior. The passage related in the beginning of the paper emphasis this idea showing Beowulf as a “noble” and the mightiest “man-at-arms on this earth”. Judging on this passage, Beowulf’s main character traits are courage, bravery, accolade and valor. However, with the duration of time Beowulf becomes corrupted by glory, power and money.

The success of any healthcare team is highly determined by the social interaction among team members (Bates, Sharratt and King 58; Furukawa 93). Team members have to move in the same direction in line with the shared vision, commitment and ethics while interacting with one another in the healthcare sector (Banks 2129). Some team members work closely with the team managers; hence, making the team successful in its endeavors. However, there are other members who derail the attainment of success in the healthcare setting by engaging in activities that do not promote the dynamics of a cohesive team. Thus, the manager should put in place strategies that will help to keep all team members on track and ensure that there is the integration of the difficult members in the established culture of the team. As a team manager in the healthcare sector, my work is to ensure that all team members adhere to the set precautions. The precautions play a crucial role in improving the service provider as well as enhancing safety in the delivery of healthcare services. In the healthcare setting where I work, nurses have failed to use protective gloves on many occasions. Allegedly, there is one nurse who carries the gloves to her home in order to punish the other team members. This practice puts the caregivers at risk of contracting communicable diseases. According to Raver (14801), solving such a case requires acknowledgment of the existence of the problem. After the problem was reported for the first time, it was taken lightly. However, after occurring repeatedly, it was considered to be a health risk and negligence. In this step, I involved all the team members and reminded them of the importance of using the gloves and the consequences of not using them. I then cautioned the concerned nurse against her behavior and the risk it had on the patients and other health professionals. In this case, it was important to relate the behavior, results and feelings. I explained to her how the patients feel when their lives are threatened due to selfish behavior. The nurse then realized how she has been putting the lives of many nurses and patients in danger. Other team members were also involved so that they could understand the implications of their negligence. I requested the nurse to change the behavior and
This case relates to a HIV positive man, who does not want to inform the wife that he is infected. The man only recently discovered his status after having sex with a woman in a foreign country. In his words, he suspected that he had “picked up something”. The man does not want the issue to come up with his wife because he feels that their marriage has enough problems as it is. He has threatened to sue for breach of confidentiality if his wife learns about his HIV status from the hospital. The complication with this situation arises from the fact that the wife is a patient in the same hospital; hence, there is likelihood that she will come for treatment in the same hospital. The ethical dilemma arising from this case is that by applying the Australian Physiotherapists Association (APA) ethical principles, one party benefits, while the other party suffer. According to the APA (1), the four ethical principles require a practitioner to respect the autonomy of the individual, cause no harm, advance common good, and to act fairly. The ethical principle requiring the respect of the autonomy of the individual can mean that the autonomy of the husband is distinct from that of the wife from. However, there is no easy way to respect the autonomy of each one of them without breach of confidence. Telling the wife of the husband’s status interferes with the husband’s right to confidential treatment. However, keeping quiet with information is likely to cause harm to the wife. In this situation, the common good to strive for is to control the spread of the HIV infection by giving the wife an opportunity to plan for her protection. This assumes that she needs to know the situation hence someone must tell her first if common good will prevail. However, this means that there will be breach of the husband’s confidence. In addition, the requirement to act fairly also makes it impossible to keep quite with the information, yet talking about it also requires overlooking the desire of the husband. The reason why there is an ethical dilemma in this case is the consequences arising from either taking action or failing to take action (2). In one case, talking about the situation may potentially break a marriage, which in itself is a very serious consequence. On the other hand, not talking about it puts an innocent person at risk of infection by HIV, which is also a very serious situation. This is the basic reason why there is an ethical dilemma. There is no clear way out, but a risk in both options. There is a serious legal risk coming from talking to the wife ab
Results Libya was a dominant economy in Africa during the reign of Muammar Gaddafi. However, when he was forced out of power during the Arab Spring in 2011, the country experienced prolonged political instability. The current government has failed to assert its control in various parts of the country. The emergence of insurgencies such as Dabbashi, al-Wadi, and other affiliated militias, which have strong socio-economic ties with political leaders in the country, has made it difficult to manage the national resources appropriately. According to Almnfi and Yang (2015), there is a close relationship between civil war and natural resources within a given region. Greed, grievance, and financing are believed to be the primary cause of the war in regions with important resources such as gold and other minerals. Selfishness pushes rich businesspeople and powerful politicians to create instability in a region to eliminate the rule of law. The anarchy that is created by their actions makes it possible for them to conduct illegal trade without any government interventions (Almohamad & Dittmann, 2016). Grievances as a reason for the civil war in resource-rich regions occur when the locals feel that they are unfairly denied the opportunity to benefit from these resources. In most of the cases, mining of minerals and extraction of oil often limit the ability of the locals to conduct other meaningful economic activities such as farming. As such, they largely rely on these resources to earn their living. If they are denied the opportunity to benefit from these activities, they are likely to form militia groups to fight for what they believe is rightfully theirs. Financing is another common reason for the emergence of insurgencies in resource-rich regions. The insurgencies need a regular flow of money to finance their activities. They may take over the regions they believe have the resources as a way of securing their source of income. Irrespective of the reasons that one may give, it is clear that there is a relationship between the current wars in Libya and the rich oil reserves in the country. Insurgencies are benefiting from the political instability that is created by these armed conflicts. In this chapter, the focus is to present the results based on the questions of the study. What are the strategies used by Libyan insurgents to loot oil? The first question focused on determining the strategies used by Libyan insurgents to loot oil in the region. The various stages of oil looting in the country and the strategies used will be outlined using the data obtained from secondary sources. The table below identifies the various stages in oil production, processing, transportation, and distribution. In each of these stages, the strategy and prevalence of oil extraction are discussed.

Introduction The contemporary labor market is experiencing a remarkable revolution, which is arising from the emergence of information technology and communication. Employees are asking for fair and equitable remuneration coupled with a favorable working environment. In addition, workers are increasingly seeking jobs that contribute to their personal development. Furthermore, the labor market is undergoing structural changes due to the prevailing economic changes. A study conducted by the Reserve Bank of Australia (2012) indicates that the highest rate of employee turnover was recorded in 2012. Subsequently, organizations are experiencing an increment in the rate of voluntary employee turnover. The above trend shows that organizations are facing a challenge in their quest to foster a competitive advantage with regard to human capital. In a bid to survive in such an environment, it is imperative for organizational managers to incorporate effective leadership in order to influence employees. Servant leadership is one of the most effective styles in influencing one’s followers and achieving personal development goals. Spears (2005) define servant leadership as “a leadership style that is based on putting the needs of the employees, customers, and the community first” (p. 2). The concept of servant leadership is based on the idea of prioritizing the internal and external stakeholders’ needs. Servant leadership is gaining relevance in the global workplace, as evidenced by the increased adjustment in the traditional, hierarchical, and autocratic leadership styles. Organizations are incorporating the concepts of teamwork and community in their strategic leadership processes. Additionally, organizations are appreciating the importance of involving diverse stakeholders in their decision-making process. The revolution in organizational leadership is also evidenced by the growth in caring and ethical behaviors amongst leaders. In order to succeed as a human resource manager, it is imperative to develop optimal leadership skills. This paper entails an assessment of the extent to which I have nurtured servant leadership qualities. Moreover, the paper also examines the major changes to the leadership approach that should be incorporated in order to become an effective servant leader. Assessment of servant leadership In the pursuit of a career in human resource management and as the current president of a labor union, I have acquired a number of leadership skills. However, I have also experienced a number of challenges in undertaking diverse leadership roles and responsibilities. One of the sources of conflicts at the workplace emanates from the st
Introduction Toyota Corporation is a Japanese automobile manufacturer that is involved in robotics, biotechnology and financial services. The corporation has been in the industry since 1937, and has had a stain-free history and experienced an unprecedented growth in its operation, currently with over 500 subsidiaries and a labor force of more than 300,000 globally; however over the recent times, the corporation has been facing nightmares of all sorts. The company has been encountered by a number of crises ranging from leadership crisis, public relations, diminishing returns, and the global economic meltdown to the most recent crisis, the accelerator pedal defaults. In counter to these unanticipated situations threatening its continuity and in an attempt to recover from these crises, the corporation’s public relations department was necessitated to formulate an issue management plan. In developing the issue management plan, the corporation has identified the important aspects that need consideration: the crisis management methods to be adopted, the Toyota communication plan, and the corporation’s management team. It consists of ways of response to the crisis in reality and perception and metrics to define what scenarios are to be handled as crisis (Gottschalk 2002). Issues Identification The company’s issues identification approach takes into consideration the entire process of ascertaining the financial, political, legal, government and communication problems associated with the crisis at hand. It all started with the financial warning that was issued by the corporation anticipating its first ever loss since its operations commenced close to seventy years ago. A financial forecast that revealed the first ever operating loss was attributed largely to the slump in sales of the manufactured automobiles and robotics and the fact that that the value of the Yen was continuously becoming inferior to the dollar and other major world currencies. Toyota problems was compounded by stiff competition from other automobile manufacturers notably Honda and the slump in the global economy occasioned by the events in Wall Street. Manufacturers of automobile around the world were faced with a tough challenge due to a shake in the operating environment that caused a sharp shift in demand because of the deepened financial crisis that spread over consumers in worldwide. According to The Economist (2010), “the entity had reduced its operating estimate
This paper is aimed at discussing the positive aspects of tourism in Iraq. Overall, it is possible to argue that the architectural monuments located in this country, represent the different historic period, and they can appeal to visitors. Furthermore, there are many natural sites that can be of some interest to people who like active tourism. The main issue is that many people do not know much about the history of Iraq and its culture. These are the main questions that should be examined in more detail. First, it should be noted that the history of Iraq dates back to the second or even third millennium before the Common Era (Hollingsworth 33). There are many attractions in this country, for instance, the Ziggurat of Ur, the ancient city of Hatra, or the gate of Ishtar (Hollingsworth 33). Furthermore, Iraqi can be a destination for Muslim pilgrims from all over the world, because they may visit such mosques as the Great Mosque of Samarra and Al-Askari (Dabrowska and Geoff 239). Overall, these monuments may produce a long-lasting impression on viewers, even those people who have visited many countries or cities. Additionally, there are many natural sites in Iraq. For instance, one can mention the Al-Tharthar Lake or the mountain areas of the Iraqi
The photon description Basically, a photon may be termed as a quantum, a detached packet of light or an electromagnetic power. This implies that the photon occurs as an electromagnetic force carter, a different kind of electromagnetic radiation and a light quantum. The electromagnetic force effects can simply be observed under the macroscopic and atomic level since the photon is massless at rest. In fact, the photon seems to be constantly moving and while in vacuities, each and every viewer can tell that it bears a constant velocity of light which is 2.998×10 8 meters per second. This readily lets in the long distance interactions. However, given that the photon appears like any other elementary particle, it is presently best described as a duality particle which exhibits both the properties of particles as well as waves (Griffiths 15). The photon properties From the theory of light, the photon:   * Have zero rest energy and mass   * Can have collisions or particle like interactions with other particles and electrons   * Can move in free space at a constant light speed of 2.998×10 8 m/s   * Can be created or destroyed when the emission or absorption of radiation occurs   * Carries momentum and energy that similarly relates to electromagnetic wavelength lambda and the frequency nu . Lab experiments about the photon Various laboratory experiments have been conducted to prove the viability of the above named photon properties. These are as subsequently discussed. Experiments conducted on the mass of a photon Photon is still perceived to be massless, and this has been subject to experimental investigations. Lab results show that if a photon particle has some mass, it will fail to travel at a similar velocity as light when in a free space. The speed will rely on its frequency yet it will be lower. Since its relativity is not affected by this factor, the light velocity will not be the definite speed that the photon will move at. It will rather be a constant speed that an object can hypothetically reach as its maximum while in a free space (Grangier et al. 74). This means that it will not be the photons speed, but the space time velocity for gravitons and gravitational waves. Under Coulombs law, the effects of a massive photon are made apparent. The electromagnetic fields are seen to have some degrees of freedom with the modification of this law. The tentative lab review indicated that the quantity of a photon produces very complex upshots in comparison to the reliance on the light velocity frequency. Thus, if this law is held invalid, the subjection of a photon to external electric fields would cause some electric field to be present within the hollow-conductor. This means that there is some accuracy that a photon bears no mass this law (Dehlinger and Mitchell 903). Finally, in a galactic vector potential experiment, it was observed that when a photon has no mass, magnetic field will be observed and the reverse also holds. The particle-wave duality Just like any other quantum element, the photon tends to display the characteristic of both pa
