Which film did u choose to watch and why? I chose the film Food Inc. for this assignment. My decision to use the film for the assignment was based on the fact that I had watched it before and was highly influenced by it. Additionally, I found it very relevant for the assignment. What did you learn most from the film? The film is among the most perspective-altering documentaries ever produced. It exposes how agricultural production has been revolutionized from small family farms to big agribusinesses with dire consequences to consumers. I learned many valuable lessons from the film. The most important and shocking lesson I learned from the film is that food is a political issue in our country. Policymakers and those who are meant to protect us do not protect us. Instead, they work in collusion with the owners of the agribusinesses. I have also learned that all is not lost. We can correct our mistake my boycotting unhealthy products and promoting those produced naturally. Have you been influenced by the film to change the way you act as a customer? Why? The film has influenced my consumption pattern greatly. I have relied on quality assurance labels on products as a means of approving their safety before purchasing for many years. However, after watching the film, I have come to realize that those standards are not genuine. The stringency that once characterized regulations and inspections has been eroded and agricultural products that are
Plea bargains in the Cumberland County are handled in the criminal courts. Under the plea bargains, defendants are expected to be notified in good time about the Miranda law. This law, which was developed after the Miranda ruling of 1966, has several components that establish the basis for bargaining for pleas (Cline, 2011). According to the Miranda law, it is the right of every citizen to be notified about the option of remaining silent upon arrest. For this reason, the police and any other person in the justice system should notify the defendant that upon being arrested, any information may be used against him. When a person is arrested and confesses of a crime before being told about the Miranda law, nothing said can be inadmissible against him. Pleas are therefore developed under the concept of infringing the Miranda law by the arresting officers. These charges that are heard in the court of common pleas are subject to the intents of performing the alleged action. Voluntary and involuntary actions are analyzed before the courts can offer their judgments. One of the things that are investigated and considered by the courts of Cumberland County is voluntary acceptance and delivery of pleas. Compelling an individual to bargain for pleas is unacceptable and for this reason, voluntary acceptance of pleas should be prioritized (Gado, 2004). It is also expected that the defendants prove of unknowing about the alleged crime case. Since guilty pleas have to be subject to the understanding of the criminal, investigations must show that the alleged person did not know about the crime at the time of performing it. There must be a plea agreement between both parties in order for any plea to hold. There must be substantial evidence to detach the alleged criminal with the criminal activity. Failure to have the required evidence leads the courts to make rulings that are subject to the statutes provided. According to the courts provisions, the defendant is not to be notified about the collateral consequences pertaining to the plea applied for. This includes the projected credits, location of incarceration and the sentence expected. In case of insanity, the Cumberland county courts look at the intentions of committing the crime and for this reason, it becomes hard to use the insanity pleas as they require more than the intents to commit the crimes (Umbright, 2006). While the guilty pleas are not so common, there are instances when they have to be scrutinized in order to ensure that the criminals are not doing so to gain some credit (Sandefr, 2003). Prejudice and being compelled to accept charges has to be evaluated before allowing the plea bargains to proceed. Under the Miranda law, the accused must have been notified about the rights to silent and to a counsel before being arraigned in court. Otherwise, all information gathered before the Miranda statement cannot be used as a statement from the criminal (Cline, 2011). Under these conditions, the Cumberland County uses most of the provis
The Innovation Strategy is meant to help create a product according to the future needs of a customer. An effective strategy must indicate those needs and how to achieve the most significant growth in response to them. It is focused on creating a better product that would be attractive on the market, adapting the product, and getting the most profit out of it. The strategy formulates and indicates certain and uncertain needs of the market. To effectively use the Innovation Strategy, one must find a source of innovation opportunity and integrate it with personal ideas by broadening the company’s vision of the product. It is essential to analyze the market, learn customers’ needs, and find the most profitable niche that would help to achieve goals. Moreover, the Innovative Strategy indicates essential questions, such as when, where, and how to compete to make a higher profit. There are four innovation strategies described by Merle C. Crawford: Inventive, Adaptive, Economic, and Innovative Applications. Innovations that are used in Inventive Innovation Strategy are first to the market; they change the direction of existing products and services. Therefore, the competition is small, but the risk is relatively high because the product is new to the customer. The Adaptive Strategy is focused on improving and defending the existing product, making it the best among others. The risk involved in this type is smaller, due to customers’ familiarity with the offer. A different kind of Innovative Strategy is Economic Strategy, which is used by producers who do not intend to lower the cost of production. They wait for opportunities that would include low risk and less money and usually use successfully implement ideas developed by others. The strategy of Innovative Applications is mostly focused on giving a new life to existing technology. The hierarchy of strategies describes the logical framework of the organization. On top is the Corporate Strategy, which is oriented the innovation by following the customers’ needs to guarantee a competitive advantage in the market. The next one is the Business Strategy, which is formulated according to the focus or cost of the business and is meant to help achieve sustainable competitive advantage in the market. Business Strategy mainly indicates how to compete in long-term success. The last one in the hierarchy is the Functional Strategy. It is focused on which technology to use, including its development, human resources, legal, supply chain, information, and management functions. The hierarchy of strategies helps to indicate corporate values, goals, culture, and tasks, which is vital in the long-run success. Different levels of hierarchy address different goals and issues, therefore, create guidance to which decisions to be made at which level of strategy. However, the three-level hierarchy model mostly works for mass
The sophisticated urban drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) do not in every case completely forestall fecal tainting of water, bringing about diseases such as Gastroenteritis. This occasion additionally raises the issue of the endemic portion of waterborne diseases in metropolitan areas (Beaudeau, 2018). In view of the considerable potential for contagiousness, AGE (Associated Acute Gastroenteritis) outbreaks present exceptional difficulties. These episodes are dependent upon different levels of underreporting. State and neighborhood wellbeing offices are by and large advised of episodes through open protests, office executives, and medical services suppliers. As indicated by state, numerous people with AGE do not look for medical care or get testing, multiple outbreaks can go unreported (Kambhampati et al., 2018). The constant checking of water turbidity and chlorine turned out to be more far-reaching, making massive datasets accessible, which could be utilized to construct intermediaries for openness (Kambhampati et al., 2018). AGE is utilized in the study of disease transmission as a nonexclusive marker for contaminations emerging from fecal microbes, as the condition is prevalent (Doménech-Sánchez et al., 2020). This gives expected affectability, and as the water-borne pathogens have a short incubation period, it likewise provides significant contamination for natural triggers (Doménech-Sánchez et al., 2020). The pollution of sifted water additionally requires that microorganisms get through boundaries given by treatment. The medical care authorities prescribe that to lessen the danger of burning-through dirtied or defiled water is satisfactorily sifting water prior to drinking. It is additionally critical to take note that not all water channels are similar. The properties of the water channel should be checked to ensure that it is the correct water channel for families. Bright (UV) Light can be utilized as a microbe decrease strategy against certain microorganisms. The innovation requires compelling prefiltering because of its reliance on low water turbidity, the proper force conveyance, and the correct contact times to accomplish the most significant microbe decrease (Chabi et al., 2020). UV may be a successful strategy in microbe decrease in drinking water.
Executive Summary This project proposal is presented to source for financing of opening of a Papa John’s franchise. The proposal includes a critical analysis of all the estimated costs, scheduling and justification. These costs are matched against the forecasted revenues from the projects over a five years period. The completion of acquisition of Papa John’s franchise will grant the franchisee the exclusive rights to operate the business of making and distributing pizzas under the Papa John’s franchise. The acquisition of this franchise will see the operations begin in less than a month. This is because the Papa John has an offer of up to $50,000.00 worth of free equipment upon acquisition of the franchise rights and signing of the agreement. The rest of the major costs will be leasing of a building which is readily available. Other operational costs are incurred once the business in running and these can be met by the working capital float. The process of acquiring the franchise rights will take up to a maximum of two weeks and operations can begin in a month’s time once the funds are availed and the materials and equipment are in the premises. The expected revenue of this business is $600,000.00 in the first year in the most optimistic scenario, $500,000.00 in the most probable scenario, and $400,000.00 in the most pessimistic scenario. The revenues are expected to grow at a rate of 10% per year for at least the next ten years. The fixed costs are predicted to be about $600,000.00 in the first year and then dropping to $200,000 per year for the next foreseeable future. The other variable costs are estimated to be about $100,000.00 per year afterwards. Having all this information, the proposal, therefore, seeks financing for the establishment of the restaurant franchise. Introduction This proposal is submitted with the intention of sourcing for the financing of the acquisition of Papa John’s franchise. Papa John’s Pizza is a restaurant that has been in the busi
Introduction Latinos in America took part in different wars including the gulf and revolutionary wars. Latinos made significant contribution in the US military despite the fact that their efforts were not recognized for a long period of time. The Latinos fought with a lot of patriotism when they went to foreign countries but they only returned home to face discrimination and insurmountable inequalities. They immigrated into America in large numbers during the times of Europe revolution, a factor that compelled them to face negative treatment from Americans. The new Latino immigrants had to contend with harsh treatment from the police alongside being branded a status of outsiders among other societal members. This paper will look at Latino experiences in US military. Experiences of Latino Soldiers in US Military Latino soldiers have continually been enlisted in US military as witnessed by the latest records that indicated that by 2002, more than 100 000 Latinos were enlisted in US military. It is estimated that by 2050 one out of every 4 American citizens will be of Latino origin and this shows the crucial role Latinos play in the US
Environmental protection has been at the forefront of people’s minds for a number of years recently, with a lot of effort going into protecting and conserving the planet we all live on. The reduction in personal waste, as well as systematic change both work towards the same goal of reducing carbon emissions and protecting the sanctity of natural resources. Many politicians and activists notice and understand the importance climate action has on securing a future for the entire human population. However, there are also significant problems that still have to be solved, many of which might uproot the entire foundation of modern economy. For the most prime example, it is interesting to explore the fossil fuel industry. The term used to describe a combination of oil and petroleum-related businesses, fossil fuel has been continuously cited as being dangerous for the planet. 1 (Fossil fuels and climate change: The Facts). The acquisition of oil, as shown by research, as well as its processing, emits gasses into the atmosphere, creating pollution. In addition, oil fuels cars and other types of vehicles, all of which contribute to the global pool of CO2 emissions. 2018 research has cited fossil fuels and the connected industries as 89% of the reason responsible for global CO2 output ( Fossil fuels and climate change: The Facts ). This means that a number of companies and organizations involved in this industry have an incredibly large influence over the wellbeing and prosperity of the planet. Furthermore, it has been noted that the oil firms knew and understood their own impact even in the past. As sh
Introduction The relationship between employees and employers has been gradually changing as the world faces various changes in the labor relations. During the industrial revolution, the employers were generally accused of mistreating their employees, especially in terms of poor pay and inhuman working conditions. After some time, employees realized that the best way of dealing with the rogue employers is to form the labor unions. Unionization has become very popular among the employees across the world. One of the main responsibilities of these unions is to champion for fair wages for the employees. According to House (2014), employees in various industries, especially those working for the government, still depend on the unions to negotiate for fair wages with their employers on their behalf. However, the labor market is changing rapidly, and many employers now prefer negotiating terms of employment with individual employees based on their knowledge, skills and talents. This puts to question the need for the unions to champion for the rights of the employees. This research paper seeks to determine the importance of unions in ensuring fair wages for workers. Discussion The labor market has been experiencing revolutionary changes in the recent past. This means that the role of the employee unions is changing based on the changing needs of the employees. According to Oxford (2014), it is a fact that employees still need unions to champion for their rights on cases such as unfair dismissal, oppressive rules and regulations, or poor working environments. However, the role of the unions in championing for fair wages for the employees still remains a contentious issue because of these changes in the labor market. There are those who argue that it is still needed, while others feel that it is no longer necessary. It is important to discus

Historical Context The described piece is a video documentation of Juan Chavez’s interview. The speaker talks about the events that happened in the 1970s in the state of Texas. The maker of this video is a historical project called Civil Rights in Black and Brown (CRBB). Chavez speaks about his time in the La Raza Unida Party, a US political party that centered on the rights of Mexican-American people (Chavez, 2016). This political party was somewhat popular in Texas during the 1970s when Latinos in the US started to become dissatisfied with other existing parties. This interview takes place in 2016 as Chavez recalls his experience and talks about people that marched through the states to the capital to promote their party and speak about the rights of Mexican-Americans. Main Points The interviewee talks about the events that happened during the period from 1970 to 1980. In 1975, Chavez along with a number of other activists started to encourage workers to create a union and a charter. Then, this group of people marched to different states every year and promoted their ideas to other people. According to Chavez (2016), they never succeeded. The speaker also recalls himself running for the city council in his home district. The main point that Chavez explores in this interview is the history of a particular La Raza Unida party chapter, which the interviewee was a part of in the 1970s. He supports his points with various facts about historical events. The author can be considered reliable in his retelling of this story as he was a participant in all activities of the described situation. Understanding of Audience This interview is a part of the CRBB collection of videos about the history of the La Raza Unida Party.

Discrimination refers to unequal or unfair treatment of individuals based on specific characteristics. Roger Staubach argues that discrimination is a disease because it eventually spreads to other individuals as they see it occurring once it begins. Discrimination is evident in the novella of Mice and Men through various characters. The story is written in Soledad, California, around the period of the Great Depression. Lennie Smalls and George Milton, who are characters in the story, look for a job at a ranch after they had issues with their previous job. On getting their new job, Lennie becomes attracted to Curley’s wife, the boss’s daughter-in-law. Lennie also befriends the ”stable buch”, an African American man who lives alone in a storehouse located at the ranch. Discrimination starts with one individual, Candy, an aged man who is tasked with cleaning the bunkhouses (Curtis, 20). As Candy shows Lennie and George around, he hints at them about how Crooks is discriminated against because of his race. The theme of discrimination is strong throughout the novel, Watsons goes to Birmingham 1963″ since it is set during the civil rights movement during the 1960’s era. The novel shows how Kenny, a young boy, is traumatized upon witnessing the bombing of the 16th Baptist church in Birmingham. Initially, the young boy does not recognize how racism is severe in his grandmother’s hometown when his family first travels there to keep Byron, his older brother, out of trouble. Kenny realizes that numerous Americans are still against the ideology of racial integration despite the push for equality. The story also evidences that there is discrimination beyond race in the region. Children discriminate against Rufus and Cody Fry at the elementary school because they come from low-income families and have strong southern accents. The kids also discriminate against Kenny because of his remarkable ability to read. Wilona discriminates against Mr. Robert because he is not her father (Curtis, 40). Characters make judgments depending on the people’s superficial characteristics refused to offer services to blacks. Schools, on the other hand, were for whites or blacks and not both. Parents
