Introduce The objective of this presentation is to provide information and analyze the roles of organizational culture, behavioral theory and planning, and community relations in relation to criminal justice leadership. These three factors affect leadership and functions in enforcing the laws, maintaining peace and order, and providing a focus for leadership functions in the community. Who are the leaders of criminal justice? These are the leaders who constitute the criminal justice system. They have to execute good leadership and management in order to provide reforms and change and to affect the kind of justice that the community needs. They have to be leaders in their own right. They must have enough knowledge of being leaders. Community leaders have the obligation to see that laws are implemented and that those who seek justice should obtain what they ask for. Human rights must be observed. Justice should be afforded to the marginalized and vulnerable sector. The Police are mandated to enforce the law. Every citizen in the community has the responsibility to follow the laws and regulations enforced by society. The DA and the law profession should help in the promulgation of justice. The entire justice system works in harmony with the community. Everyone has rights and responsibilities. Planning and Community Relations Almost all police organizations have Police Community Relations. Those involved in Criminal Justice Leadership have realized the significance of maintaining a PCR. All the other leaders must also maintain this good rapport with the community for this will ensure a successful implementation of the rules and laws that should be followed by the members of the community. Organizational culture Organizations in the midst of intense globalization are becoming complex and complicated. Most organizations are now composed of people of diverse cultures. Criminal justice leadership has to be administered with the philosophy and principle of organizational culture. An organization has its own culture apart from the culture of the nation-state or the community in which the organization operates. Leaders and members of this organization have to cope and adjust to the organizational culture. Living with people of different cultures can make the lives of leaders and members unbalanced. Work and life balance is difficult to achieve. But if they know how to adjust, it may not be so difficult. They have to cope, adjust and modify their lives through these experiences. Their emotions, feelings, personal lives have never been so affected by organizational activities that they tend to look at the office or the organization headquarters as their home away from home. They spend and dedicate their time, efforts, and knowledge to the organization. They look at the office as more than a place. Family life plays the second fiddle. They believe that if they are happy in the organization, they are happy at home. The organization comes first. With this scenario, the leader has to be good and effective. He/she must know how to understand the members of the organization. Challenges in leading an organization There is a lot of
Introduction An examination of GE’S current goals reveals that it plans to become a market leader in biotechnology, renewable energy, technological services and transportation and as such plans to do so by leveraging on its ability to basically be able to do things faster, more efficiently as well as more cost effectively than any other company. The inherent problem though with this particular strategy is that in its pursuit for cost effectiveness one must wonder whether GE has taken the concept too far and as such has neglected to include Corporate Social Responsibility as a necessary aspect into its business dealings. It is based on this that this paper will examine the management style of Jeffrey Immelt, current CEO of GE, and elaborate on what areas of improvement he should focus on in order to help create a better working environment for this employees. Management Style Employed by the CEO Immelt’s management style can be considered paternalistic in the sense that his decision making process focuses on what would be best for the organization as a whole through processes which emphasize heavily on efficiency, performance, and what operational methods would cost less for the company in the long run. This can be seen in GE’s strong management discipline regarding not only its stringent implementation of cost saving measures but in its ability to streamline operations in order to squeeze every single bit of productivity out of its employees (Cummings & Tanenbaum, 2005). This, I believe, is the core of GE’s success as a corporation since it enables the company to operate at peak capacity while ensuring that costs are scaled back in favor of efficiency over wastefulness. Such a strategy is evident throughout numerous instances of Immelt’s tenure as CEO of GE as seen in his initiatives which involved centralizing the diverse operational departments into distinct groups so as to reduce administrative costs as well as his emphasis on the use of lean Six Sigma practices in order to reduce operational wastefulness (Olson, van Bever, & Verry, 2008). For Immelt integration of departments and the institution of cost saving measures were just the beginning of the changes that he wanted to implement, of particular interest is his move to divest GE of companies that were either underperforming or no longer considered “vital” in terms of the vision that Immelt had for the company (Paul, 2007). In this regard Immelt did the right thing for GE in continuing to divest GE of aspects of its operation which not only lost the company money but were “ancient” in terms of their ability to continue adapt to the present day environment of constant change and innov
Summary and Overview Lora Ann Booker, the Plaintiff in the case was a student at Leigh University when she sustained injuries under the influence of alcohol. She was below the legal age of alcohol consumption and had consumed sizeable amounts of alcohol in private parties that were arranged by different student groups. The parties had not been authorized or sanctioned by the university. When she was returning under heavy intoxication, she attempted to walk through a rough trail full of steep inclines and rocks. Lora fell down and sustained injuries to her head that were later diagnosed as a hematoma in the brain. The plaintiff argued that Leigh University was to be held liable for negligence since the University had not imposed the age verification rules on the parties. There were no uniformed security guards at the parties to v
Abstract There was a time when philosophy ruled the branches of sciences but still, it was realized that there are philosophies that are related to other branches of sciences as well and these are the sciences that included social sciences and the natural sciences. Finer categories of sciences and the disciplines are now being represented by these philosophies and these include psychology, physics, biology as well as economics. Introduction The philosophy of psychology deals with the mind and cognitive abilities. In the late nineties, it was seen that psychology stopped relating all the studies with philosophy and started working on the mind and its related cognitive abilities. For the last thirty years, it has been seen that there is fast growth in the field of cognitive sciences as artificial intelligence, cognitive anthropology, linguistics, and these are collectively referred to as cognitive sciences. Since that time, the philosophers of psychology are the ones who have been contributing to the scientific work in the field of psychology. As a result, it has been seen that the philosophical aspects of cognitive sciences have been studied in a deeper manner (Bermúdez 83). There are many contemporary discussions in the philosophy of psychology and these have been considered diverse as these are inclusive of some philosophical issues related to the cognitive sciences. In this case, the areas that are discussed by the philosophers in psychology include the mind and the other related areas of psychology. Many topics that are discussed by the philosophers in psychology are the ones that arise because of the recognition that the philosophers have in cognitive sciences (Stout 45). In this case, many theories have been presented. One of the theories deals with the causal as well as the representational level properties that are related to the computational theories of cognition. This and the other theories are the ones that deal with the problems of cognitive causations. There are many studies on the nature of cognitive architecture that can help in separating the classics from the connectionist approaches as these are based on the debates between the rationalists and the empiricists. Studies in the philosophy of psychology Main topics that have been analytically covered by the philosophers of psychology since the last two decades include intentions, cognitive architecture and consciousness (Bermúdez 87). Mental representation or intentionality says that human beings do not simply respond to their environments but are equipped with some kind of mental machinery. This is the machinery, which is sensitive to the changes in the environment, but the complexity that the machinery has can deal in attempting to respond to the change. This refers to the stimulus-response pairs defined by the neurologists afterward. A role that is played by the language in the mental representation has also been debated and this is referred to as the hypothesis of the language of thought.
Terms in Male Reproductive System Primary Organs are the organs that are used to produce the hormones, sperms and the eggs. Accessory Organs are the organs involved in conveying and creating the gametes, as well as offering support for the embryo. Urogenital System is the collective reference of both the excretory and reproductive systems of the vertebrates. A Mesonephric/Wolffian Duct is a tube that is used to drain the kidney and also can be used as the sperm tube during copulation. Ureter is an independent duct that is existent in birds and reptiles to drain the waste from the kidney. As such, it is exclusive of the sperm duct. Uterine Duct/Oviduct is a duct independent of the above tubes that opens into a cloaca. A cloaca is a chamber to which all the intestinal, excretion, and reproductive tubes lead. Testes-are a site or an organ where the sperms are produced in a male reproductive system. Seminiferous Tubule is the tubes in which sperms grow and develop after production. Sustentacular/Sertoli Cells are cells that basically surround the sperms in order to nourish them during growth. Interstitial Cells are the cells responsible for the production of testosterone that is essentially male sex hormone. Epididymis is a tube where all the seminiferous tubules lead after passing the vasa efferentia. Urethra is a duct which is responsible for carrying both the sperms and urinary material. Seminal Vesicles, Prostate Glands and Bulbourethral Glands are glands in a male reproductive system that produce respective secretions which ultimately make the semen in the male reproduction system. Terms in Female Reproductive System Oviduct is a tube also known as the u
Summary The article, The Use of Prayer and Scripture in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Tan starts with an introductory part, whereby the author gives some of the applicable cognitive behavioral therapy methods. The methods are mindfulness therapy, dialectical therapy, and acceptance-based therapy. Tan (2007) acknowledges prayer and scripture as the third therapy for behavioral therapy in Christianity. Thereafter, the author outlines the use of prayer and scripture in Christian context coupled with outlining seven biblical Christian-based components of the cognitive behavioral therapy. Tan (2007) lists using biblical truth, taking past events seriously, which affects our growth, making and enquiring for willing and informed consent, and using skills and techniques from the scriptural point of view as the of ethical characteristics to obtaining behavioral change. Thereafter, Tan (2007) gives implicit and explicit as the two possible ways in which integration can occur. The author acknowledges the two ways of integration, but he opts to back up explicit integration by arguing that his experiences with different clients have depicted high responses to Christian-based cognitive behavioral approaches. Furthermore, the author argues that in counseling, the counselor should begin by assessing if the client values scripture and prayer to determine if they will be effective. The client’s religious background is reviewed. If s/he acknowledges scriptures and prayer, then the counselor will use them, but not necessarily as the only therapy (Tan, 2007). Moreover, Tan (2007) highlights other seven main characteristics of the healing prayer. The author admits that not all clients will value and accept the inner healing prayer and that it is not meant to heal everyone. Tan (2007) goes ahead to give a case study example of how the inner healing power would be used to different people whereby he outlines the seven key features of how it works. In addition, Tan (2007) gives a deep discussion with a case study on the use of scripture in counseling. The author argues that the counselor would use the scripture in cognitive restructuring to change and refocus the thinking direction of the client in accordance with the scriptural guidelines. Tan (2007) gives a case study example with another client to demonstrate how cognitive restructuring reconstitutes the thinking of the client’s point of view, but with an inclination to the scriptures. The author recommends a good interpretation and application of the Biblical concepts correctly in order to aid in the success of the counseling process. Reflection The article is quite helpful and it clearly serves as a practical example of the integration of theology with Christianity. The author’s wisdom and efforts are clearly depicted in the article, which offers a room for further stu
Executive summary The report will have an introduction giving the thesis statement. This will be followed by a detailed analysis in the main body, of strategy implementation, with a look at the different factors that determine whether a strategic plan actually works or not. These factors are Organizational structure, people, culture and systems, and all these will be analyzed in turn with regards to J.M. Smucker’s. Introduction The purpose of this strategy implementation report is to look into ways on how J. M. Smucker’s as a company can capitalize on its peanut butter and peanut butter products. This will be accomplished by reviewing the company’s organizational structure, its work culture and systems, so as to determine how well fit the outlined strategy is for this particular venture, and thus, guarantee a higher likelihood of success. Analysis of fit for strategy implementation for J. M. Smucker’s’s peanut butter and peanut butter products Organizational structure and strategy implementation at J.M. Smucker’s J.M Smucker’s is a family run company, and has been ever since it was founded in 1987. the current co-CEOs Timothy and Richard Smucker are great-grandsons of the founder, who carry on the ideals that were visualized by their great-grandparent (Gunther, 2010). While the two CEOs are at the top of the managerial ladder and make the major decisions on how the company is run, they also give the due worth to their employees (Pryor, Taneja & Toops, 2009). The organizational structure at J.M. Smucker’s is one that is centrali
Introduction Blood donation is a vital part of medical aid. Although there are artificial substitutes for blood, they will hardly ever be as effective as natural blood in cases when the blood transfusion is needed. In contrast to the blood, they lack plenty of natural substances, which are crucial for metabolism. Main Body Blood donation is a voluntary act aimed at the organization and supply of blood for medical and scientific purposes. The donors are the individuals who donate their blood and its integral parts. The blood donated by the volunteers is often divided into its components because some patients need only plasma, red cells, or some other components. Usually, the donation takes about 8-10 minutes but certain types can take up to two hours ( Why donate blood? 2014). It goes without saying that blood donation is an important part of medicine as almost every third individual on the planet needs the transfusion of blood once in his or her life. The rare blood groups represent especially bright evidence of the importance of voluntary blood donation. Sometimes, the relatives or friends become the donors for the patient. However, if the person who needs the transfusion has the rare blood group and Rhesus factor and none of the relatives has the same, the doctors use the blood donated and stored by the volunteers. Thus, voluntary blood donation can save the lives of people. The patients with leucosis need the transfusion every day and they will die without the supply of the donated blood. Conclusion There are also benefits from donating blood for donors themselves as it reduces the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases. Besides, it stimulates the circulation of blood and makes the skin and hair healthier.
Introduction The novel The God of Small Things was written by Roy Arundhati. It features the story of two Indian twins that happened during their childhood, and how ‘love laws’ destroyed their lives. The rules state how one ought to love, how much one should love as well as people who they ought to fall in love with. Generally, the book describes how people’s lives and behavior may be affected by some minor things. This paper discusses the novel The God of Small Things, which mainly focuses on love laws people apply to, thus they are responsible for their enforcement. The guilty as well as punishment for breaking them are the main issues described in the story. Love is a force that cannot be controlled by law. It is so powerful that it cannot be influenced or adhere to some social code of conduct. The book highlights different love stories that can be said to touch the biological, family, erotic spheres as well as issue of hope. However, the novel mainly focuses on taboo and forbidden love. Writer of the novel considers breaking the laws of love a taboo in the Indian Community. Such an action leads to serious punishment to those who break it. Generally, according to the novel, love laws are rules and traditions set in the Indian community that are aimed at restoring Indian love culture despite increasing globalization. It also focuses on ensuring that the community restores its culture and traditions. These laws were established to guide children and young adults according to the expectations of the society and with whom they ought to have fallen in love, how much they were expected to love such people and how they should have loved the people they claimed to be in love with ( Kline 370). These rules or laws of love were applicable to all the people in the society irrespective of sex or age. However, it mainly focused on young adults and teenagers who had a dream of marrying and/or were in search for a marriage spouse. It was applicable to people with blood relations. These laws aimed at controlling marriage between people of the same biological parents. Laws are adopted to control certain aspects, but adherence to these rules depends on the law enforcers. Love laws were concerned in family matters and enforced by the elders in the society, especially by elderly family members, such as parents, among others. Parents were to ensure that their children were not allowed to love each other because it was considered a taboo in the Indian community (Batra and Messier 112). Love laws were applicable to biological relatives, such as a brother and a sister. Therefore, biological partners were guilty of breaking love laws in case they married each other or engaged in intimate activities. The laws were observed in the society, and those found guilty of breaking the rules were severely punished because it was considered a taboo in the Indian community (Kline 370). Breaking of the love laws is one of the worst taboos, and its punishment is severe. For instance, Velutha was banished because of breaking the love law, while Ammu was locked up in her room. Furthermore, in another incident fr
Indeed this discussion was edifying, and it challenged some of our everyday decision-making processes. The proposals you have suggested in your example would be applicable in different fields of commerce. Various business companies can utilize the explore-exploit trade-off using different advertisement options such as social media, ads, and televisions to woo customers into buying their products. Together with having information on customer needs, this technique will be a success. Tom Griffiths presents very insightful thoughts on making the best decisions and solving common social problems by thinking like a computer. In his Ted Talk, there are three most fundamental approaches to the decision-making process. These methods would facilitate decision-making in limited time, difficult comparisons, and breaking huge problems into small, easily solvable ones. In his first suggestion of using the 37% rule, families considering relocating can apply this rule to find the best-matched neighborhood. In this scenario, a family can scan 37% of the available options, considering their needs like children’s new school, distance traveled to and from work, and security. In an explore/exploit the situation, a student joining college would benefit by comparing the time needed in their academic course and whether they can simultaneously engage in sports activities, community volunteering, or work-school program. Students with extra free time may explore some of the available extra-curricular options that a short academic course might not permit for another learner. Finally, a government facing endless challenges during a pandemic and with limited funds may decide to make the best decision in the shortest time. For instance, during a pandemic, the government may decide to deal with immediate needs like sustaining citizens’ livelihood and offering direct aid. From the numerous functions that the government plays, it could postpone some of its roles like organizing and hosting sports activities and first minimize the effects of the pandemic.
