One of the most probable disasters in my area is wildfires, as our community is situated in a forest area. In the case of wildfires, many members of the community will become homeless, which implies that human service organizations, such as homeless shelters, will need to help the community deal with the consequences of the natural disaster. According to Public Health Emergency (PHE, 2020), when responding to such an emergency, the human service organization needs to make sure that all the homeless individuals and families are physically safe. All the family members need to be put together to help children and their parents maintain unity and comfort (PHE, 2020). Additionally, unique needs to be identified and addressed. In particular, hot food, shelter, and transportation should be arranged, and mental health and trauma assessments should be conducted (PHE, 2020). All the provided services should be culture-sensitive to comply with NOHS ethical standards. When responding to the disaster, I would instruct all employees to use their cultural competence and humility skills to ensure that all the unique needs of representatives of different cultures are considered. In particular, I would ask them to pay attention to how culturally appropriate it is to put homeless people of different genders together to be compliant with Standard 11, which requires service providers to be knowledgeable about the different cultures and act accordingly (NOHS, 2015). Additionally, I would ask all the employees to stay away from engaging in personal relationships with the clients, as they may feel vulnerable and search for intimate relationships. This encouragement is coherent with Standard 5 described by NOHS (2015). Finally, I would pay special attention to Standard 4 to ensure that the safety of all the homeless people is ensured.
Introduction The Bible presents powerful ideas and lessons that Christians can follow to achieve their spiritual goals. This paper relies on 1 Corinthians 8:9 to describe why Paul encourages his readers to avoid relying on their freedom since such a practice can make weaker Christian believers to stumble. The discussion identifies who are weak and strong believers, the meaning of freedom among Christians, the notion of a stumbling block, and how such aspects mean for Christians. Chapter Context In the Book of 1 Corinthians 8, Paul provides unique thoughts to guide Christians to examine the question of eating idol food from an informed or purely spiritual standpoint. The chapter describes how and why God is keen to monitor what humans eat and if they do so with some form of conscience. The outstanding message is that the decision to consume idol food would go against one’s consent. In such a situation, a sin would have been committed since God does not embrace such a process or activity. This background forms the basis of Paul’s message to Christian believers. In verse 9, Paul warns Christians that the freedom to pursue their rights and eat whatever they like could make it easier for those who are weak in faith to stumble. Weak and Strong Believers From the context of the selected chapter, it is evident that the specific verse indicates that there some believers who could be identified as strong and others weak. The idea of Christian morality becomes the best idea for distinguishing these two types of Christians. The notion indicates that strong believers would be the ones who are aware of God’s requirements and convictions. In such a case, these individuals appreciate the fact that God’s will needs to be done on earth. Using the chapter, strong believers would be aware that eating idol food is a bad practice since the exercise does not glorify God. This notion remains outstanding even when people would acknowledge food cannot be evil or bad. Those who understand that eating idol food is a violation of their conscience would be classified as strong believers. On the other hand, weak Christians would be those who might lack the conscience regarding what out to be acceptable or not. Such individuals might decide to eat idol food without understanding that such a practice amounts to sin. When strong believers who have the described such a conscience eat idol food, chances are high that the
The major breaches that occurred over the last nine years have affected LinkedIn to a serious extent on an organizational level. Based on the analysis of the company’s cybersecurity status, the major flaws comprise breaches in the website’s API, as well as the lack of HttpOnly cookies and DNSSEC. In addition, first-time visitors of the service are subject to a MITM attack because the domain does not appear on the HSTS preload list (UpGuard, 2021). Thus, in the current cybersecurity situation, the company remains subject to unauthorized third-party access. The lack of DNS key verification creates a favorable environment for phishing attempts, providing another avenue of user data fraud. In this regard, the service’s data is to be protected from unauthorized from the outside. The security systems of Bell-LaPadula and Biba are unlikely to become the optimal choice for this objective. They are designed primarily for the military context, preserving the chain of command and preventing the improper manipulation of data. A similar perspective is valid in the case of Clinical Information Systems Security. The Chinese Wall is created for competitive digital environments, making its purpose utterly different from the pressing concerns of LinkedIn. Next, the Access Control Matrix of the Graham-Denning system deals with specific variables, which are not applicable in LinkedIn’s cybersecurity space. The intermediary principle of Clark-Wilson is more promising in the discussed scenario, but there appear to exist better options. More specifically, the frameworks of noninterference and nondeducibility rely on the strong division of low and high entities (Lu et al., 2019). This is exactly what is needed by LinkedIn, as breaches in DNSSEC and API may allow unauthorized users to access high-level objects within the system. The noninterference framework appears more secure for such sensitive data. Even though it is often perceived as excessively strict, this level of protection will benefit LinkedIn amid the aftermath of data breach scandals. Therefore, the systems of noninterference and nondeducibility reflect the features that ar
Response I do not agree that the U.S. government should regulate offshore outsourcing. Although the practice carries both positive and negative consequences, benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. For companies in the United States to receive maximum gain from offshore outsourcing, the sector should not be subjected to government regulation. Specifically, offshore outsourcing refers to the practice of outsourcing work to suppliers in foreign countries, mainly to take advantage of low cost of labor. Through outsourcing, companies typically engage foreign suppliers to perform some or all business functions in a country other than the one where the product or service will be sold or consumed. It is, however, important to ensure that the overall cost of offshore business is less than the total expense. In general, organizations turn to outsourcing in order to reduce costs, leverage themselves ahead of competitors, and to increase adaptability to changes in the market place (Cohen 250). Offshore outsourcing is a hotly debated issue in the United States that for a very long time has received wide coverage by the media. In 2003, just after the recession, lack of employment was still a concern and the blame was directed at offshore outsourcing as the major contributor to the reduction in U.S. output and the corresponding loss of jobs. Offshore outsourcing is currently being driven by the recognition by many companies of the benefits of outsourcing as a business strategy. To a large extent, this recognition has led to less emphasis on cost reduction and more emphasis on such benefits as flexibility and speed in delivering business solutions, access to new technologies and skills, ongoing productivity improvement, and enhanced training and development of employees. Offshore outsourcing can also have an important effect on firms by helping them to accelerate the development of innovative products and services at far lower cost. Arguments about Offshore Outsourcing An increasing number of companies in the United States have been made to believe that offshore outsourcing is critical for improving a company’s profitability. For most of these companies, failure to use offshore outsourcing strategies leads to loss of business to competitors. For a very long time, the United States and the West have reaped an excessive share of the wealth derived from the world c
Introduction Four Americans were sentenced to eight years of imprisonment when they were found guilty of shipping lobsters in plastic bags and not in wooden boxes, violating the law (that was no longer enforced) of Honduras (“Rough Justice” par. 1). Punishment and disciplining has been part of the society since the Enlightenment (Foucault 82). Offences, earlier in history were made a public spectacle to insight fear for the power of the ruler. However, in the nineteenth century with the advent of the modern times, the nature of punishment transformed and the new form aimed at deprivation in seclusion, hence the prison system. Imprisonment was believed to be a method to control the deviant and has been embraced by most of the modern societies today. However, in some countries like the USA, this form of punishment ahs assumed a new meaning. Imprisoning of the law-breaker was no longer just a method to control and discipline the behavior of the perpetrator but also to garner economic growth and business. In this essay, I will argue that incarceration and prisons in America has become a governmental tool to meet economic and political ends by building more prisons and creating new laws. Prisons and Criminal Justice in America The justice system in America boasts of being harsher and stricter than any other developed countries. The paranoia over the felonious moving freely on the roads creates panic and hence, the overprotective justice system. Any forms of aberration, even the minutes of them, are punished with imprisonment. Why is it so? Is it because the country’s beliefs in a crime free society or some other reason? Criminologists believe that the American penal system is flawed as incarceration rate, duration of imprisonment is very high, and the system criminalizes acts that need not be turned into a criminal act. For instance, a 65-year-old orchid collec
Nowadays, due to the rapid development of technologies, it becomes more challenging for the government to regulate the production of modernized goods and services. Efforts of Uber (a ride-hailing company) to create a self-driving car can serve as an excellent example of how the law regulates and deals with the introduction of new technologies. In this report, the rules and laws discussed in the article “Uber Self-Driving Cars: Everything you Need to Know,” written by Johnson and Fitzsimmons, will be identified. Also, ethical issues described in the article will be presented. The article mentioned above narrates the process of the introduction of self-driving cars by Uber and its consequences. Initially, Uber purchased a large number of cars to be used for an automated fleet (Johnson, & Fitzsimmons, 2018). However, the accident involving an Uber self-driving car, which resulted in the death of a pedestrian, put an end to the testing of automated cars (Hicks & Fitzsimmons, 2019). The article discusses traffic rules that are controlled by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (CDMV). The authors point out that CDMV supported the testing of automated cars in San Francisco by revoking the registration of vehicles as test cars for Uber (Geuss, 2016). The primary function of CDMV is to regulate traffic in California in accordance with the rules established by the US government. Therefore, these traffic rules belong to the category of regulations that are performed by a special federal department based on state law. The article also discusses the investigation of car accidents that occurred with Uber automated cars. It refers to the rules that imply Car Accident law, which determines who is responsible for the personal and property damage resulting from a traffic collision (HG Legal Resources, 2020). Another rule mentioned in the article is about trade secrets. This rule can be classified as criminal law because trade secrets are protected under federal criminal law. Stealing trade secrets can also be considered an ethical issue as it violates business and commercial ethics (Milligan, & Wexler, 2014). Another ethical issue raised in the article is the death in traffic. Unfortunately, the utilization of self-driving cars may result in the deaths of pedestrians, which contradicts the concepts of safety ethics.

Introduction The present world enjoys peace, freedom and democracy among other benefits that our ancestors found to be scarce in their times. During those times, freedom was unthinkable, countries were colonized, and the fight for freedom was intense. For instance, some of the reasons for world war I sought to open trade routes in Russia, which was quite difficult. Australian as well as New Zealand soldiers sacrificed their lives to defend freedom and democracy. In the process, a number of them lost their lives; others suffered severe damages, which included physical, emotional and mental effects. Military actions in various countries around the world during the 20 th century were quite influential to current political state of the world. However, it is quite important to note that the current generations rarely recognize these sacrifices. In fact, even though such ceremonies are regularly convened in remembrance of them, few people take time to understand what really happened. In sharp contrast, the youth in Australia and New Zealand are increasingly developing interest in ANZAC day, which remembers military action that occurred in 1915, involving soldiers from both countries. This paper will explore meaning of ANZAC day, as well as youth’s increasing interest in the same (Narushima, 2010, p. 1). ANZAC Day ANZAC day is considered as one of the most important anniversaries in both New Zealand and Australia. The occasion marks anniversary of both countries’ greatest military action, which occurred during the first world war in Turkey. This term refers to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. In addition, the term is commonly used to refer to forces from Army Corps. This commemoration involves several events, which has attributed greatly to its lasting influence on youths, who find such ceremonies enticing as wel
Introduction In 1960s, there was public outcry concerning water pollution in America. This generated the environmental movements that were intended to address such public concerns. When 1960s and today are compared, it emerges that African Americans faced environmental injustices relating to water pollution. In fact, water pollution in both cases occurred due to improper disposal of toxic wastes by industries into rivers and other water bodies. Despite living in different centuries, water pollution causes similar health problems to people living today and those who lived in the 1960s. The major causes of water pollution in 1960s and today are contamination by industrial wastes, improper waste disposal by individuals, oil spills, and inappropriate farming methods (Cassidy, Judge, and Sommers 877). Water pollution in 1960s In 1960s, there were extreme cases of water pollution. However, the public was not aware of the general health problems and associated risks resulting from polluted water. Besides, the governments hardly implemented any environmental protection measures to ensure that both human and industrial activities do not give rise to water pollution. Thus, it was difficult to find individuals taking personal initiatives to ensure water bodies are clean and remained uncontaminated (Daniels, and Friedman 65). Water pollution in the 1960s occurred due to poor sewage systems in the urban and rural areas. Industrial plants located next to the riverbanks also used the readily available water from such water bodies and disposed their waste products in the rivers. The industrial wastes included dyes, alkalis, various acids, and other chemicals. Industries like nuclear reactors, refineries, and power plants obtained water from rivers to cool the plants and released toxic wastes back into the rivers. Improper agricultural practices including the use of pesticides, and fertilizers also caused water pollution (Cassidy, Judge, and Sommers 878). Finally, water pollution resulted from oil spills in water bodies such as the seas and oceans. Despite the health effects caused by water pollution, the government hardly
Introduction and Background The article is titled “Will Organic Agriculture Feed the World,” and it provides its readers with an overview of the statistics that apply to the sustainability of organic farming. The article weighs in on the sustainability of organic farming with respect to the rising global population. The recent data on global population prospects can be used to analyse whether organic farming can sustain food production in the future. The impending global increase in population will not be uniform, and it will have varying effects on food-production patterns. It is also important to note that in the past, population patterns have played a major role in determining food production methods. The food production and distributions patterns that are present in the United States are not necessarily replicated across the world. Therefore, organic farming might not be practical for the United States, but it can work in other places across the world. For example, organic farming is often touted as a replacement for ‘conventional-farming’. However, organic farming is the ‘original’ form of agriculture. Conventional farming was embraced with the view of increasing yields in order to feed the ballooning population. Nevertheless, recent research has indicated that conventional farming could be unsustainable in the long run. This paper is a critical reflection on the sustainability of organic agriculture in the future of food production. Scientific Considerations of Organic Farming The research for this article mainly relies on the global population prospects that apply to this century. In this regard, the population of the world is expected to reach “eight and a half billion inhabitants in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and over eleven billion by 2100” (Meyer 2015). Another scientific aspect of this data is that the impending global-population increase is set to be concentrated in three main areas; China, India, and the African continent. It is interesting to note that “Africa is expected to account for more than half of the world’s population growth between 2015 and 2050” (Meyer 2015). The expected population trends indicate that the poorest countries in the world face the greatest risk of suffering from food insecurity. The other scientific issue that applies to organic food production involves the reliance on ‘healthy soil, clean water, and a stable climate’ versus the use of unconventional food growing methods that do not depend on these three elements. The “current conventional methods of farming rely mostly on chemical inputs and fossil fuels” (Meyer 2015). Most of the issues surrounding the debate on the sustainability of organic agriculture revolve around which form of farming has the best results. Past studies have been inconclusive with some favouring organic farming and others leaning on conventional methods as the solution to global
Introduction Nowadays, in the context of globalization and the development of business plans, the number of various stores is increasing. Therefore, the management of companies has to implement certain strategies to remain competitive in the market. One of these strategies is a Balanced Scorecard (BSC), which is successfully used worldwide. The BSC is a management tool that categorizes organizational goals, regulates activities performed by employees, and controls the results of these activities (Gao et al., 2018). Clotheshound, an apparel store, has been using this strategy for a year. In this paper, the information about the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard by the company, and the next steps of management will be included. Also, the communication of this strategy to the organization and its translation into performance measures will be discussed. Management Strategy in Clotheshound The implementation of the BSC strategy in the Clotheshound store resulted in improvements in some performance measures, but not in others. Therefore, to achieve improvements in all indicators of effectiveness, management, after implementation of the BSC strategy, develops a new reward s
