The impact of women in the criminal justice system has been very instrumental. There are many women that have opted to purse the carrier on criminal justice as a result of the inspiration to learn about law so that they can effectively apply it in the real life situations. A degree in law is a perfect choice for a carrier in the criminal justice system as it offers an individual many opportunities to choose from. Being a Juris Doctor is among the options that one can settle for. To be more effective in exercising ones responsibility, one should ensure that one identifies his/her passion so that he/she makes the right decision on where one would like to work. In addition, relevant past experience is paramount and when one happens to migrate to a foreign country. My past experience as a Juris doctor in Philippines equipped me adequately for my first job in U.S. as an Immigration and Naturalization service (INS) which is currently referred as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). This provided a good experience for me since I was in a position to do what I liked. Satisfaction in the workplace ensures high performances as one feels more motivated to work harder, due to the high morale that is exhibited in such a workplace. Thus, such women that have opted to pursue a carrier out of passion and who have been successful in being incorporated in appropriate positions that give them a conducive environment and in particular in the criminal justice system has enabled it accomplish a lot as they have executed their duty with passion and diligence and assisted the department realize most of its objectives. This has also been facilitated by lack of discrimination of the female workers in the system (Angel, 2002). Biasness in the criminal justice system is prevalent. This is as a result of the existence of the various prejudices associated with ones background, culture among others. The most important thing that one should ensure is to make sure that he/she executes ones duty as per the immigration rules since doing contrary to that can result to one losing his/her job. When one is treated unfairly, the management has improvised appropriate mechanism referred to as Equal Employment Opportunity where one can go to complain. To ensure that the employees in the U.SCIS are adequately equipped to exercise their duties with proficiency, the agency makes sure that it gives its workforce continuous trainings to enhance their
Recent Economic Developments Two phenomena that directly impact the hospitality industry are the ongoing recession and the recent appreciation against the U.S. dollar (Bank of England, 2009). Other harbingers of the current economic travails are tight credit and falling home prices (FSA, 2009; Central Intelligence Agency, 2009) The country has not been spared the effects of the global economic slowdown that commenced with a recession across the Atlantic from December 2007. The economy shrank in the second half of 2008, two continuous quarters of negative gross national product growth confirming by official definition that the recession had washed ashore in the country. According to the Office of National Statistics, even that 1.5% quarterly contraction was the worst in 28 years (RTÉ Commercial Enterprises Limited, 2009). In February, the Financial Services Authority (2009) warned that the economy would shrink by at least 2.2% for the rest of the year and trouble in the banking sector suggested that this was a rosy forecast. The situation could get worse before it gets better. A recovery in 2010 is not certain. In a recession, consumer spending falls faster than the contraction of GNP, exacerbated by layoffs and newfound pessimism about personal and household prospects in the months ahead. Even the supposedly cheery 1.5% rise in retail sales last Christmas turns out to have been nearly 3% below what the total holiday shopping recorded in December 2007. Domestic economics affects the local hospitality industry because lodges and chain hotels are also dependent on domestic tourism. With respect to inbound traffic, tourists from abroad, the exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar as the preferred global trading currency is relevant. After appreciating against that currency commencing in January 2004, the pound sterling depreciated again in July 2008 (see Figure 1 below), just as the current recession commenced. This has favourable implications for tourist traffic since foreigners who count value in American dollars are bound to find UK prices significantly cheaper than at this time last year. Adapting the Hotel Chain Marketing Mix Place, Product and Service Mix Place and product mix are of a piece since hotel location is the distribution channel and “point of sale” for the hospitality business. The combination of a shrinking economy and depreciating currency has distinct implications for the hotel categories that will remain sustainable and even gain market share during this recessio
Introduction Nuclear facilities accidents have occurred in some parts of the world, with the most recent one being the Fukushima Daiichi disaster in 2011. These accidents release radioactive contaminants, causing significant damage to the surrounding population’s health and environment. This report examines the Tomsk-7 nuclear accident that occurred on April 6, 1993. It looks into the background, cause, and sequence of the accident, effects on the environment and human health, ethical issues facing such facilities, and lessons learned from the accident. Background of the reactor/facility/equipment The Siberian Chemical Enterprise is a part of the nuclear industry in the Russian Federation (Pike, n.d.). The enterprise produces large-scale uranium and plutonium with one of its facilities at Tomsk. Construction of the facility ended in 1953, with stations used to enrich uranium (Pike, n.d.). It also had reactors for electric energy generation, an isotope detachment station, uranium oxide, and hexafluoride production station, and storage facilities for solid and liquid radioactive wastes (International Atomic Energy Agency, 1998). The facility covered an area of 192 , with a supervision area of around 1560 . The location of the site was 16 km from Tomsk, which was the regional capital. Tomsk had over 500,000 inhabitants, with the rural areas sparsely populated by people mainly involved in farming. The government of Russia had maintained secrecy on the existence of the facility. Due to the activities going on in the facility before the accident, there were records of contamination of air, rivers, and soils from the release of affluent radioactive liquid waste. The facility at Tomsk was a reprocessing facility. The reprocessing occurred at a structure called Building 201 at the Radiochemical Works site. The reprocessing involved chemically extracting plutonium and uranium from used radioactive fuel elements (“Processing of Used Nuclear Fuel – World Nuclear Association”, 2021). Reprocessing is critical as it recycles nuclear fuel waste. This process reduces the volume and radioactivity of the waste materials (“Nuclear reactor – Growth of nuclear programs”, 2021). The method used at Siberian Chemical Enterprise was the plutonium-uranium extraction process (PUREX). Purex involves dissolving the waste fuel into concentrated nitric acid. The dissolved solution gets added to tributyl phosphate. Tributyl phosphate is a chemical able to form compounds with uranium and plutonium as oil solutions. The oil solution gets physically removed from the acid, and then the tributyl acid got washed out using water to get the elements required. The Radiochemical Works structure had two reprocessing plants with its vessels located underground and sealed with 2m of concrete walls. One of the sealed vessels referred to as Installation AD-6102/2 is where later the accident would occur. Installation AD 6102/2 was used for preparing the solution t
Current essay deals with a critical problem of media role in politics. By using Al Gore’s book ‘The assault on reason’ as a launching pad for our argumentation we propose to critically evaluate the role of media in politics. The main thesis which is defended is that mass communication plays a crucial rule in modern politics since it considerably affects the flow of information and frames people’s perception of political affairs. Current essay does not consider media to be something inherently objective and independent but rather recognizes their role as political actor in society having considerable power capabilities. Using Al Gore account and critiques of Bush administration internal and external policies we will try to insert these visions into the wider fabric of media-political axis analysis thereby integrating Gore’s text with our own argumentation defending the abovementioned thesis. Current essay uses Toulmin argumentation style in defending our thesis. Gore’s ‘Assault on Reason’ Gore’s book though mainly presents the critiques of Bush administration policies provides us with some valuable account of media important role in shaping these policies. According to Gore Bush administration ignored the ‘clear warnings’ relating to terrorists threats of 9/11 and ‘stirred up a hornets nest’ in Iraq. Besides this it used mass media to disseminate ‘the language and politics of fear’ and tried to “drive the public agenda without regard to the evidence, the facts or the public interest” through media outlets and column articles in leading American newspapers which referring to some secret security information promoted the interests of Bush administration. So, probably as these facts show media played significant role in discursively framing American policy which partly proves our initial thesis of critical role of media in politics. Besides this Gore puts forward some facts claiming that pro-Bush media dominated national discussion on such issues as war in Iraq, national security, terrorism and other important issues, bypassed reason, silenced dissent and oppositional points of view. This point of view seems grounded to us since the majority of media notwithstanding massive opposition of American populace to Iraqi war supported it through mass propaganda campaigns and disinformation materials on WMD, role of Iraq in 9/11, its sponsoring terrorism and other issues that went in line with dominant American political discourse. Whose interests do these informational campaigns serve? Who are you ‘We are the People…’? (Leahey, 2004). Current media campaign against Iran can also be described as supportive of war. This can be backed by pro-Bush media repeating the same mantra about Ahmadinejad’s malicious ambitions to make a new nuclear Holocaust against Israel based on his alleged utterance in which he called for destroying Israel (in fact these words were wrongly translated), disseminating false information of Iran’s sponsorship of terrorists in Northern Iraq and other disinformation. The visit of Iran’s president to the United States recently this year also proves one-sided representation of thos
The availability of basic shelter is critical in the life of mentally challenged persons. It is essential that this basic human need be availed to them because most of them are not in a position to provide it for themselves. The shelter should also be able to accommodate their shortcomings and protect them from discrimination by society. The provision of shelter goes a long way in aiding in the mental, physical and most fundamentally psychological development. People that are mentally incapacitated are found to have difficulties in their personal hygiene. Personal hygiene has been identified as a huge factor in their discrimination in society. This discrimination significantly contributes to further damage in their mental and psychological status. This is as a result of feeling unwanted and uncared for in the environment that they inhabit. However, establishment of shelters for them will be critical in ensuring that their body hygiene is maintained at acceptable standards. In so doing, the discrimination along these lines will be a thing of the past making them develop normally. The day to day handling of daily events is significantly affected by mental instability. Routine habits are significantly upset in the life of the mentally challenged individual. The creation of a fixed program is, therefore, essential in helping them overcome this problem. The attainability of fixed program can be attained by setting up of shelters that are specifically designed for them. The shelters will facilitate the enactment of thus routines that will help them in the regaining
Video game streaming is a comparably new business sector that only starts developing, and careers of streamers are discussed and studied today as an innovative trend in the context of eSports. From this point, the career of a professional streamer is a developing business phenomenon that requires its detailed examination because of the increased interest of partners and viewers in this sphere. The main platform where professional streamers can broadcast their experience in playing online is Twitch.tv that was founded in 2011 by Emmett Shear (Hollist 829). Today, the platform has the monthly flow of visitors in more than 30 million people (Edge 1). The rise of similar platforms for streaming online game playing or tournaments during the recent years indicated the development of the new type of the Internet entertainment industry that guarantees profits not only for platform owners but also to professional players in the sphere of eSports who began to develop the career of streamers (Hollist 829). The most popular streamers are those ones who succeeded in developing the career at Twitch.tv, playing League of Legends. From this
Problem For a long time, the US Navy has been suffering from a lack of capacity in childcare facilities more than other military branches, which creates additional problems such as long childcare waiting lists and additional budgetary costs. Discussion The US Navy has been suffering for decades from the insufficient capacity of childcare facilities. It is necessary to note that this problem is also relevant for the civilian population and other US military branches, especially the Army. According to Werner (2019), “lack of available and affordable child care is a national issue for our generation; for our Navy, it is a critical readiness issue” (para. 4). The COVID-19 pandemic gave humanity a lot of misery and sadness, as well as three good things. Increased international collaboration and public awareness are two of those three good things that the COVID-19 crisis brought to the world. The third one is that the event highlighted the issue of lack of capacity in the Navy childcare. The Department of Defense (DoD) Military Family Readiness Council expressed their concern and recommended expanding childcare capacity across all military sectors in fall 2020 (Military Times, 2020). The reason for this increased attention from the internal organizations of the US DoD is apparent. The readiness of a warfighter directly depends on the well-being of their family (Military Times, 2020). Therefore, the DoD must provide military personnel with all the necessary needs and infrastructure, including childcare structures, to maintain the Navy’s full combat readiness. Lack of capacity in childcare as a core problem creates additional ones. These are long childcare waitlists and additional budgetary spending. As of 2019, The US Navy had “9,000 infants and toddlers that its child care centers don’t have room for…” (Werner, 2019, p. 1). The US Navy needs to expand its capacity for childcare to address these interconnected problems successfully. Increasing the capacity of childcare requires significant financial costs associated with investing in new or existing child development centers and other related structures (Jowers, 2021). The construction of new childcare installations requires not only big money but also time, usually from three to five years (Jowers, 2021). Moreover, it also needs an appropriate physical place (Congressional Research Service, 2019). The sphere of influence of the US Navy is vast, meaning highly variable terrain. Sometimes the future construction site requires adaptation, which also increases lead times and costs. Delay is unacceptable in Navy childcare’s current critical condition that is also complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Delay will not only accelerate the impending infrastructure crisis within the US Navy but will also exacerbate it. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a number of short- and
The essay is a critical examination of Husserl’s pure phenomenology. As defined by the founder of pure phenomenology it refs to study of experience as well as the manner with which things present themselves in as well as via experience. Strictly speaking the term also has been thought to refer to a descriptive analysis of the essence of pure consciousness. It is worth noting that when Husserl emphasized that phenomenology is a pure discipline, he meant that the foundation of his thought rests on the fact that phenomenology is not science of fact but rather a science of essential being. It exclusively aims at bringing to light knowledge of essence. To him pure is distance from reality. It is this sort of science that leads one to reality. Additionally, pure logic or discipline differentiate sense from nonsense as well as making us understand which sense presented by pure grammar are consistent as well as the ones that are not According to the philosopher pure discipline seek to investigate objects that have meaning usually described by names that are meaningful (Husserl 18). Some examples of pure discipline include psychology. According to Husserl, the subject matter of pure phenomenology as well as its instinctive nature is invisible to the opinion or views that have natural orientation. It is from this discipline that all philosophy stems from. Strictly speaking pure phenomenology unlike the empirical psychology rests on unreal things. Indeed it is this that help human understand things better when in the real world. As previously stated, there are a number of things included in the domain of pure phenomenology. Among the things included include all kinds of sensuously meant and things deemed to be objectivated, the sphere of objectivities seen as being synthetic which are provided with consciousness via referential as well as connective conscious synthesis. Generally speaking, all modes in which things are given to consciousness (Husserl 76). Additionally every feeling desire willing together with immanent comportment constitutes the domain of pure phenomenology. As suggested by Husserl, pure phenomenology is the most fundamental discipline for a number of reasons. For instance, it is has been considered to be a science of pure consciousness meaning that it borrows a lot from pure reflections. It is worth to note here that this concept or approach does not include all external kind of experiences. The fact that the concept pure phenomenology employing pure reflection thus not factoring in the forces from natural; settings for instance nature. Subject matter of pure phenomenology is investigated through a set of mechanisms. One process to attain this is through phenomenological reduction which refers to efforts of aimed to fully define pure essence of phenomena deemed to be psychological. At this point in time empirical subjectivity is put at hold. This is to ensure that pure consciousness is defined in a Being manner. It is worth noting that bracketin
Introduction Social work refers to a professional discipline seeking to improve the life quality and well-being of an individual, community or group by organizing researches, training, working and direct practices on behalf of any given institution or company. Although social work has a national code of ethics, every country has specific codes based on their state codes. This phenomenon makes scholars doubt how the codes can lead to ethical and moral harmony amongst the vast social workers in a given work setting. However, Culver, Gert & Clouser (2006) maintain that the chief purpose of a professional code of ethics is to socialize and educate into any given profession. Discussed below are some of the answers to questions regarding the height of sexual harassment at a Florida-based Jacksonville Shipyards, Inc. (JSI). Protection of Robinson According to Boatright (2009), the male coworkers with Lois Robinson at JSI were not justified to post humiliating pictures of pornographic contents on the walls and notice boards at their workplace. JSI management should curb sexual discrimination This is because their actions were unwarranted according to the presidential order policy on all federal contractors (JSI being one) that eradicated any kind of conduct that would be personally offensive and abusive to the solemn dignity of any worker, either sexually or otherwise. Workers had no right to post pornographic pictures Since this policy was incorporated in the standard rulebook of JSI Company, the senior supervisor had the mandate to implement it and to consequently protect Robinson from the sexual harassment she experienced while working at the company. However, it is a pity to see the JSI supervisors decline to order the removal of the pornographic pictures but instead accuse Ms. Robinson of negligence of duty while spending too much time viewing the pictures. Sexual harassment is not a personal problem The management got it all wrong when they decided to be reluctant over the sexual discrimination crisis in their company, it even sounds crazy that the JSI could not elect an EOO coordinator to assist in the implementation of the “equal employment opportunities” policy as by the presidential order. Prohibition of sexual discrimination Lois Robinson’s treatment by her male co-workers is clearly depicted as a form of sex discrimination because whenever the male workers made crucial sex jokes, she was always sidelined. In fact, she often left her male co-workers to proceed with their exchange of jokes in her absentia. Robinson was sexually discriminated One could even question the integrity and morals of the JSI management too since they kept supplying her male co-workers with pinup calendars that contained nude women in sexually attractive postures. Much stronger evidence of sex discrimination by the male workers in JSI was depicted when; the w
