The school selected for the technology plan is W.T. White High School. It is a public high school situated in Dallas, Texas. Student enrollment begins from grade nine to grade twelve. It belongs to Dallas Independent School District. White High School was named to commemorate the Dallas superintendent during the time of its inception, Dr. W.T. White. In 1964, the school was officially opened to the public and it accepted students from all races including black students. Judging from the name White High School, then one could easily think that it was a racial school taking into account the fact that it began during the time that segregation had reached its peak in the US. The Dallas Independent School District commonly known as DISD is based in Dallas and it serves the purpose of operating the public schools that are situated within the school district. Its boundaries cover 809 square kilometers of land in the area. Within this boundary, a huge percentage of the schools are situated within the city of Dallas although there are a few other small towns that the school district serves. The exact location of W.T. White High School is 4505 Ridgeside Drive, Dallas Texas 75244. The student population is quite high as there are a total of 2,253 students in the entire school. The students do not come from far to attend school, it draws students from the local surrounding area of Dallas city. W.T. White High School is known for its achievement in nurturing sports personalities. A list of some of the alumni of the school, clearly indicates that the majority of them came to be sportsmen and women that have made the country proud. It covers a wide range of sporting activities including American football, soccer, golf, and basketball. The school has equally made some tremendous achievements in the field. It has won several district championships from 1961 to 1994. It has also produced book smart individuals who have made it in their lives doing business and in the corporate world. There are several goals and objectives that the school needs to put into consideration. There is a need for ensuring that every teacher in the school attends school as required by the floor. In addition to these records, there is a need for the school to have an electronic system of register where students do not have to register on behalf of the students who were absent. Using books in order to record registers is very cumbersome to the teachers who are forced to mark the books on a daily basis. Mistakes could easily be made with manual records. A critical look at the performance of the school recently, it has been obviously clear that the school requires an improvement in terms of technology and its development. The use of the latest version of educational software programs will help to increase the performance of the school to produce more numbers of students who not only are familiar with sporting activities but also highly intelligent. The challenges that are expected during the implementation process, include the outdated software that the school uses, the inability of technolog
Introduction Bullying and worker’s harassment is a common thing in Western Australia where armed forces and especially women are harassed by their bosses while at work. It is of importance to note that, bullying is a situation where power is abused where the minors are harassed physically or emotionally by their seniors. In most cases, women are the victims of bullying and harassment because of their low physical strength (Whitney, 2009). In this relation, bullying or ‘bastardisation’ in armed forces is an issue which affects all nations worldwide but some countries are worse than others. In most of the armed services in Australia, new recruits and women are commonly the victims of bullying and harassment despite the fact that it is unacceptable. In the year 2001, Army Chief Peter campaigned on the illegalities of bullying of army forces as has been reported by one o f the country’s newspaper (Spindel, 2008). It should be noted that, women in Australian armed forces are bullied by being harassed sexually or forced to undertake activities that are not accepted by the Australian workplace Act 1996 section 809(2). Further, most women when they join military they more of psychological bullying than physical one. In this case, mostly women are bullied by being criticized on whatever they do; which makes them feel as failures and hence non productive. In this relation, most of women and other male new recruits have been found to commit suicide as a way of escaping bullying in their places of work. Reports indicate that, women in armed services under fire in Australia are intimidated and threatened by their seniors to the extent that they are forced to put off a fire without full gears (Maravelas, 2005). It should be noted that, workplace bullying causes anxieties, mental disorders and physical sicknesses where the victims are inflicted with pain directly on their bodies. On this basis, it is the work of managers and seniors to look into it that workers or juniors are not harassed in order to maintain their productivity. In armed services for example, the senior should respect the juniors and women in particular and always do to them whatever he/she would like others to do to him. Additionally, employers should build awareness to the employees on all the various ways of bullying. Further, employers should provide good policies to make sure that; workers are in a working environment that would not hurt them both emotionally and physically (Kohut, 2008). It is of importance to note that, employees should be provided with safe reporting processes where they would feel free to report any instance of bullying at any place of work. Moreover, coworkers should under all circumstances support any victim of bullying and report it to the management so that correct measures should be taken accordingly. A point worth noting is that, bullies should be counseled and educate
I find it truly a coincidence that more than 5 years ago, I found myself in the same position that Susan Wolf had found herself in with regards to her father’s End Of Life case. My situation pertained to the end of life care of an elderly aunt who had no other family and because of that, she became a part of my own family. She was, fully reliant and dependent on me in so many ways due to her advanced age. I thought that she was a very healthy person and could go on living forever since she was under constant medical care. But all the medical care that the doctors could provide for her could not remove the pain that ravaged her aging body. It was because of that pain that led my mother and I to bring her to a Chinese holistic healer who treated her with some sort of secret Chinese medical injection. The clinic was clean and the instruments seemed to be of clinical grade quality. I had no idea that by bringing her to this doctor we would be opening the gateway to death for her. The injections were supposed to be administered twice a month. However, on the second injection, she developed an uncontrollable fever and could no longer get out of bed without assistance. She was hospitalized that weekend. She had Sepsis, a disease more commonly known as blood poisoning and it had spread throughout her blood, there was no way she could be saved. She was going to die a slow and painful death due to the slow infection ravaging her body. We did not hide the fact that she was given a diagnosis that she would be going home a vegetable, if she ever made it out alive. She made her decision that day, she wanted to go home.She was already bedridden by that point and in need of constant palliative care. My life and the lives of those around me were upturned by the unexpected events. Nobody could go on with their regular lives. We all lived to serve her and make sure she was comfortable until her final hour of consciousness with us.She was constantly being injected with antibiotics that did not seem to do much to control the infection or pain. Later on, she began choking on her food, even a drink of water seemed to drown her. A feeding tube was then attached in order to keep her fed and hydrated. But everything that we were doing for her was for naught. During one particularly painful episode, she called me to her side and asked me “Can you help me die?” I was dumbstruck. I never thought that this woman, who lived through the horrors of life and helped raise me as a child would ever get to such a low point in her own life. I did not know how to answer her and chose to ignore the question. I pretended it was a joke instead. If I had only know
For us to make the distinction linking the initial principles of Islam, the fundamental aspects to reflect on are women doctrines that have been practiced from the Islam core “the Middle East” prior to the accession of Islam religion. Ross et al (1977, pp 493) gives an example of general speculations that are accompanied by general speculations concerning the social relevance in our social demonstration. They evaluate the observers role upon the perceptions of others way of life. Fundamentally, the focus on the Arab communities that convoluted prevailing Islamic discourse about gender analyzes the Arabia at the time Islam was established and Iraq at the time of the classical age. Findings on the core of Islam religious at the time of the legal framework for women were created. And finally on Egypt during both nineteenth century and twentieth century at the time of dramatic social change that was caused by the interaction with the western societies on new discourse on gender and women. (Abdul & Maududi, pp, 135) notes that women have been endowed far from being appealing and sexual desire and the indispensable instincts of modesty. the high trends of family breakdown and the inherent polygamous family structure in the Islamic societies have negatively influenced the western families, which in a way are following the same trend. Muslim thinkers from mid nineteenth to early twentieth century have revealed elaborate legitimacy of veiling among the women. As demonstrated in a conversation between Zainabu and Fatma in their brief dialogue. Zainabu: aren’t you in you Hijab Miss! Fatma: It is hot! Besides these practices have been overhaul by time; when a woman is in a Hijab be it in the media or in day to day life they look as if they are forced to be in one. Have you ever wondered why a woman as beautiful as I am would chose to be in a Hijab cover her hair and beauty as if she was forced to. Zainabu: I am always in one because to hide my nudity. The fundamental nature of morals and values of us Muslims are always in line with the teachings of the Qur’an. Furthermore, the essence of this practice finds it way from the Qur’an which outlines the regulations of modesty precisely in chapter 24 verses 30 through 32. Fatma: I understand Pal. But don’t understand time changes with events. I understand the Holy Scriptures well she quotes the Qur’an “let know the men who believe that by lowering their gaze and by guarding their reticence and modesty, they will magnify their cleanliness and the purity for Allah (God). For Allah is Well-informed on all their deeds at all time. Let know the women who believe that by lowering their gaze and by g
Introduction Hacking refers to deliberate actions to interfere with computer systems. The act mainly happens over computer networks. Flaws in the network allow hackers to access the systems. Knowledge on hacking can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to a firm. Advantages associated with the practice include improvement of security in computerized systems. Today, many learning institutions are offering courses in this discipline, especially for students pursuing degrees in Information Technology. The knowledge would be of great use in future in preventing cyber crimes by identifying loopholes that would leave a system vulnerable to attacks (Timberg, Nakashima and Douglas-Gabriel 12). However, the skills can be dangerous and costly to victims. Hackers have in the past used their expertise to commit fraudulent activities, such as access to valuable information. They manipulate this information to gain control of systems. The individuals have also been used in times of warfare to conduct terrorist activities. Most of them engage in the activity for self amusement. In addition, some of them have not even studied related courses, which make it difficult for prosecutors to prove their guilt during a trial. The paper seeks to address the issue of cyber warfare and hacking. More emphasis is placed on the banking industry. The paper addresses cyber warfare and hacking at the international level. Some of the areas addressed by the author include hacking of both small and multinational organizations, the link between cyber war and terrorism, as well as buzzwords and background information with regards to unauthorized access to computer systems. Cyber War and Hacking in Organizations Traditionally, most hackers target computer systems and networks. However, telecommunication companies offering services to mobile phone users have also become a target for these individuals (Perlroth 9). The introduction of smart phones is seen as a major contributing factor to this emerging trend. The fact that these phones use a computerized system makes them as vulnerable as a computer network in relation to hackers. Most of these practitioners target the network. A large number of telecommunication firms are often not aware of the risk they face from the criminals. As such, they are often ill prepared when the hackers attack. The hackers are often anonymous and carry out their activities stealthily (Timberg et al. 12). In most cases, they use malwares to allow them access to information and networks. Foreman Seeley Fountain Architecture is one of the latest victims of such activities. The mobile network company lost $166,000 worth of calls within a single weekend (Perlroth 9). Such kind of vulnerability also exposes customers to risk of losing their money. With increased adoption of mobile banking and money transfer, stakeholders in the sector need
One of the most appealing aspects of William Faulkner’s short story A Rose for Emily is that the readers’ exposure to the main character of Emily Grierson provides them with a better understanding of what accounts for the effects of socially oppressive circumstances onto the process of an individual becoming mentally insane. This is because it was namely the fact that, ever since her early years Emily was indoctrinated to believe that she had no other option but to live up to the expectations of her traditionally minded relatives and neighbors, which caused her to murder Homer Barron in the end. Let us elaborate on this suggestion at length. As it appears from the story, throughout the course of her young years, Emily did not exhibit even a single sign of being predisposed to act in a socially withdrawn manner. At that point of her life, she was nothing but a pretty girl who strived to attain happiness by marrying a man she could love. In fact, Emily’s father also wanted her to do this. However, being the representative of a Southern aristocracy, he never ceased insisting that his daughter may only marry a ‘worthy’ man. In its turn, this prevented Emily from being able to find a husband, while her father was still alive. Nevertheless, being the product of an elitist upbringing, Emily was having a particularly hard time while coping with the fact that, after having turned thirty, she ceased being desired by men, as a potential fiancée. This is exactly the reason why, after her father’s death, Emily choose in favor of leading a socially alienated lifestyle, while going as far as making a deliberate point in not even stepping out of her house. Apparently, such Emily’s decision reflected the fact that, because of her failure to get married, she never ceased experiencing an acute sensation of guilt for not being able to lead a life she prepared herself for. Therefore, it is fully explainable why, after having met Homer, Emily decided to marry him, despite the fact that she did not truly love him and despite the fact that Homer was not taking much interest in marrying her either. Yet, it was only the matter of time before it would eventually dawn on Emily that her expectations, in this respect, were vain. The realization of this fact proved little more than Emily could take. After all, just as it happened to be the case in all highly religious/traditional societies, single women that spend time with single men, without entering into a marital relationship with them, are being commonly regarded ‘unworthy’ and ‘morally wicked’. This was exactly the reason why Emily decided to poison Homer – she simply could not let him go, as it would result in the remains of her elitist sense of self-worth being thoroughly destroyed. Such a strong was Emily’s desire to live up to the socially constructed and religion-based dogmas of public morality that, after having murdered Homer, she continued to sleep with his corpse for years. By doing it, she strived to reaffirm her worthiness as a potential wife. Thus, the character of Emily Grierson can be
Information Revenue Service (IRS) is an American agency that collects taxes and enforces the tax laws that guide the entire process. Since the agency is handling information deemed confidential, it has employed numerous securities standards in enhancing confidentiality of their data. The information security standards at IRS have abroad perspective; the security components include physical security program, Privacy, Information Protection and Data Security (PIPDS), Information Technology (IT) Security, and National and Personal Security Information (Internal Revenue Manual, n.d.). Information privacy at IRS remains a key issue in enhancing taxpayers’ confidence. The purpose of physical security program is to offer protection to the lives of employees and the entire management of IRS. IRS protects its information through data security, physical security, and sensitive procedures of handling documents. These complex procedures ensure that these resources are not accessible to third parties. Third parties ease to data accessibility can cause risk and harm. In enhancing information security, IRS ensures that the security procedures are in line with the federal regulations of disclosure, access, disposition, and use of information. Under this program, there are authorities that ensure the employees and contractors meet the outlined standards fully. For instance, The Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits information disclosure from public records without a written acceptance from the concerned person. The Act follows a specified rule regarding allowing an individual to access any information. The rule clarifies on the timing fee and location under which the body can authenticate one to view the data (Internal Revenue Manual, n.d.). Although one has a right to get access to any of the agency’s records, an exemption prohibits information access by the public. If on request for information availability on a format that is already available, the agency is free to supply such information on a format that is reproducible. Additionally, IRS conducts annual security briefings to its employees in order to familiarize them with their security responsibilities. The agency only grants access to sensitive information on a need-to-know basis, and the employees remain responsible for providing security to all information to enhance trust among the public. The agency has a Physical Security Handbook that outlines guidelines on minimum information security standards that allow flexibility for developing higher standards for meeting different requirements. The management at IRS implements these policies on physical security. In Information Technology (IT) Security, IRS’s systems and applications are secured (Internal Revenue Manual, n.d.). The IT Security creates, updates, and maintains information. This system enhances the security of information
Purpose For this project qualitative analysis will be conducted using the focus group discussions. The primary aim of the task is to point out the sentiments of Nando’s consumers to the new delivery framework developed by Nandos. The focus shall be on quantifying the attitudes of consumers to Nando’s as an institution, and the services it offers. This will help determine whether the new idea that the company will be introducing will work in the market and whether its impact on the total income of the company is a risk worth taking. Qualitative research objectives   * To find out what the population think of Nando’s as a company.   * To find out how consumers put Nando’s rate Nando’s amidst competing establishments.   * To find out what consumers think of the Nando’s brand and advertising   * To establish the opinion of consumers on the services and products offered by Nando’s   * To find out the areas Nando’s consumers would like to see improved   * To register the feedback of customers regarding the features they would like to see bundled with thee delivery service   * To find out which media the customers would like to use to access the service   * To find out the rates that the consumers feel should be charged for the service Methodology-Focus group The focus group method of analysis has been selected for this task because it enables one to get varies responses from different classes of people. In order to identify the participants of the focus groups, invitations shall be handed out to patrons of different Nando’s outlets and some sent via E-mail as well. Invitations will also be placed on popular food websites within the region of coverage. These methods have been selected for the invitation because they are inexpensive and just as effective as placing advertisements on bill-boards and newspapers. In order to ensure that individuals are interested in offering their input, freebies, such as free meals will be given to participants. The plan is to have a turn-out of 30 people and it will be pointed out in the various invitation platforms that the selection will be done on a first-come-first-selected basis. On the day of the discussion, the attendees will be grouped into three groups, each having ten people. Each focus group will have one moderator and will sit for a total of 90 minutes. Camcorders will be installed in place to record the sessions, for later evaluation. Reasons for selecting this methodology The primary reason for using focus groups is that they are not as expensive to conduct as other methods of research (Fern, 2001; Morgan, 1997; Puchta, C and Potter, J, 2004). In addition, by virtue of the fact that the researcher interacts directly with the respondents, he can pose even deeper questions than can be permitted by the other methods of research (Krueger and Casey, 2006). Focus group data is also easy to analyse and evaluate and given the needs of the
The Twa Dogs: A Tale Robbie Burns wrote quite a few little stories in verse about his life and times. He was quite critical of many of the social conventions and this story is a criticism of the requirements of class and social position. He talks about Caesar, the dog of King Kyle of Ayrshire and a working collie named Luath. They met one day by chance and became friends. He tells us all of this in the first verse. The second verse describes Ceasar as a foreign dog, not a Scottish breed. We are told he comes from a Cod fishing country, so we assume Newfoundland. Portugal is possible, but it is not “far away”. So we can picture this dog is a Newfie or a Lab. Verse three introduces the theme: Caesar does not discriminate. Even with his fancy brass collar, he will breed
