    In Company Q's attempt to make logical day-to-day business decisions, they have created tension in the communities that they thrive in. With the intention of protecting the company and its assets, they have unintentionally created a imbalance of social responsibility within the company and community. Closing stores in major metropolitan area is a formula for disaster. These stores could have been where most foot traffic potential is located. That can lead to hight revenues. Company Q has shown that they cannot trust employees even if it is for the greater good. The offering of a small healthy and organic product selection may be an indication that Company Q does have an ear open to the community. In an attempt to save the image and continue Company Q's profitability, a few steps must be taken to sustain this margin. Community leaders should be involved in brainstorming the things Company Q can do. A competitive analysis of Company Q's competition should be factored in.

    America would not be where it is without the laws that have been placed and the citizens who follow the laws. In order for this to happen the knowledge and acceptance of the laws are needed to establish order. African Americans had been secluded in the past through harsh laws of segregation. Although many believe disobeying the law is morally wrong and if disobeyed a punishment should follow, Martin Luther King’s profound statement, “One has the moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws” (King 420) leads to greater justice for all which is also supported by King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Jefferson’s “ The Declaration of Independence,” and Lincoln’s “Second Inaugural Address.”…

    No, I do not believe we can ever completely solve the problem of crime. Though I do believe we can greatly reduce the amount of crime that is being committed. The current issue is that politicians are constructing policies in response to public fear instead of using criminological research to develop new social and public policies. The past has shown us that increased prison sentences and declaring a “war on drugs” will not be the types of policies that will be effective in reducing or solving the problem of crime. I agree with many other criminologists that an effective crime control strategy should incorporate Social Responsibility Perspective, and Social Problems Perspective. Social Responsibility Perspective supports the idea of making individuals responsible for their own actions while Social Problems Perspective is based on a public health approach where the offenders are victims of social problems and poor social conditions.…

    I demonstrate the belief that all students can learn by unambiguously stating high expectations and then by doing everything within reason to help each student reach these learning objectives to the best of his or her individual ability. Therefore, I differentiate instruction so that each student is both challenged and capable of gaining knowledge appropriately. For students who need extra assistance, I offer scaffolding support in the form of visual aids, larger font, vocabulary word definitions, or other hints that allow the student to better understand. For any student who is able to work above grade level, I offer additional or expanded learning options designed to encourage the student to work well beyond minimum requirements. In addition, I actively avoid…
