Ethics: Theory and Contemporary Issues
Ethics are generally relative to a person's culture, but not so much to an individual, although there are exceptions. This comes about because people, even though they are clearly individuals, are also significantly affected by the culture of which they are a part (Becker & Becker, 2002). The cultures, however, are often very different, and many of the ethics that are part of a particular culture do not translate to another culture (Fagothey, 2000). This is often why people who are attempting to do business globally have trouble, or commit an unintentional faux pas. They do not realize the differences between cultures, which can be quite pronounced (Fagothey, 2000). Many of these cultural differences are insignificant, but the ones that deal with ethics and ethical behaviors can become problematic for people who are interacting with other cultures for business or pleasure (Becker & Becker, 2002). Additionally,….

Contemporary Issues in Management: Creativity, Change and Innovation Management

In order to keep up pace with the changing market conditions and beat the competitive pressures in an effective way, organizations have to pursue continuous change and innovation strategies in their business processes and workplace practices (Kerle 2011). Creativity, change, and innovation management has never been an easy task for a business organization due to various internal and external issues and constraints (Khan & Al-Ansari 2005). A number of research studies have been conducted that address these issues from the contemporary business world and present various kinds of models and theories which can be followed by organizations to bring an effective organizational change (Agbor 2008).

The purpose of this paper is to discuss this important issue for one of the leading multinational corporations in the Information Technology industry -- the Microsoft….

Water Management
Contemporary Issue in Management

One of the most important and essential things needed for the healthy maintenance and socio-economic development of the world's ecosystems is water. Proper management of water resources play an important role in reducing poverty and promoting a better livelihood in the community. The life of almost everyone, young or old, rich or poor, is closely associated with water in some way or another. However, the increasing rates of urbanization in the past few years have also resulted in an increase in demand of clean drinking water. This seems problematic because it is now putting quite a stress on the available water resources. Population estimates show that the planet's population is likely to shoot upto 8 billion by the year 2030 and it would be impossible to feed them all if issues regarding water management are not resolved (Pietersen & eekman). Moreover, at the rate at….

This was about the same time we entered into a so-called global economy. Americans buying American puts the steering wheel that is controlling our nation's fate in the hands of those who care about it most - the American People. People feel that the time has come for ordinary Americans to take control of America's destiny (Buy American, 2005).
Supporters of the Buy American campaign which is promoted by the union and some domestic manufacturers fear a growing protectionist sentiment along with efforts to restrict spending of billions in federal stimulus dollars targeted for infrastructure improvements across the nation. With the global crisis that is presently going one, now more than ever America needs to take an active first step in safeguarding working people (DaParma, 2009).

To date, the union has worked to help get the Buy American resolution introduced in more than 600 cities, towns and states nationwide. These efforts….

Tourism
Handbook Coverage of Foreign Investment in Tourism

The Sage Handbook of Tourism Studies offers a fantastic overview of the issue of tourism and tourism studies but as has been pointed out is developed from the perspective that the world was not necessarily about to experience an extreme global recession. For instance in the timeline associated with tourism development internationally the work provides the last section of the timeline to include the 1990s and 2000-and beyond (Jamal & obinson 2009, p. 153). What this offers the reader is the sense that the climate for foreign investment and especially investment in developing nations will remain static as the research and development of national tourism sites will continue to be an issue of economic advantage for both the investor and the nation of focus. Though the work does also challenge the issue of investment oversees in developing nations as something that can and….

business and social climate places a myriad of pressures on managers to obtain their objectives. While the defined purpose of the organization, or mission statement, is meant to keep the organization on track toward justifying its existence, and achieving its goals, the modern manager is also a leader, and must exercise concern for how the organization reaches their goals. The most basic motivation of keeping one's job is not enough to build and maintain a career. The manager who tells the boss what he or she wants to hear, juggles a few figures, shortchanges customers, shortcuts quality control procedures, or exploits workers may think he or she is getting ahead, but eventually the long-term effects on such an individual will create a career which lacks the integrity, and honor which the organization can rely upon. This individual who does not show long-term commitment to results is a candidate for….

close correlation between the concepts and applications of job rotation, job enlargement, and job enrichment. Job rotation is a managerial strategy in which employees rotate performing specific tasks or jobs within an organization at fairly regular periods of time. The point of this strategy is to make employees well rounded, and to see who has the greatest propensity of performing certain types of work. This strategy is distinct from job enlargement in that the latter involves increasing the quantity of tasks or assignments that employees have. That increase may occur at regular intervals, or it may not. The chief difference is that the employee is still responsible for completing his original tasks as well as the additional ones. This is appropriate in situations in which organizations might be understaffed. The main distinction between job enrichment and job enlargement is the quality of the additional tasks included in an employee's….

growth and use of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution using the modern day criminal justice system.
According to Webster's dictionary of Law, Judicial Activism is defined as: "The practice in the judiciary of protecting or expanding individual rights through decisions that depart from established precedent or are independent of or in opposition to supposed constitutional or legislative intent compare judicial restraint." Over the past 4 decades, since the practice of judicial activism has been created by then NAACP lead attorney Thurgood Marshall in order to forward the progress of civil rights legislation, liberal political interests have pursued a practice of judicial activism in order to expand the powers of the government into the lives of U.S. citizens by bypassing the legislative limits defined in the constitution. Through this practice, small minorities of political interests have hijacked a political system which was purposefully designed to….

Federal Judiciary
On Wednesday morning, right before the Supreme Court justices were about to begin their day, Justice Kennedy put a 24-hour hold on a Ninth Circuit Court mandate nullifying same sex marriage bans in the states of Nevada and Idaho (Denniston, 2014). The temporary stay on the Ninth Circuit's ruling is to allow ban opponents to present their side of the issue. This ruling surprised everyone because last year the Supreme Court ruled Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional because it violated the equal protection clause of the Fifth Amendment (United States v. Windsor, 2013). Since then several district and circuit judges have been ruling against same-sex marriage bans instituted by a number of states.

The Supreme Court's ruling in United States v. Windsor (2013) hinged on DOMA usurping state's rights, in particular a state's right to define the act of marriage. New York State for example,….

Contemporary IssuesA complex healthcare system is fragmented and highly sophisticated. In the contemporary world, patients see several specialists track the treatment plans, medical bills, and insurance coverages pose various challenges even to those patients who have filled up the informed consent. In this aspect, health advocacy is integral in easing patient burdens and increasing and improving the system\\\'s navigation. Trained personnel, physicians, and other allied health workers can address health inequalities as one of the techniques for promoting more equitable health outcomes in patients. They can advocate for patients by enabling them to have access and benefits that patients are entitled to, such as home visitation programs and child and family benefits, to mention a few. At the same time, physicians can support patients faced with different social problems by getting their history and providing relevant advice. Other suggestions entail availing oneself as a resource that addresses patient issues and….

The contemporary issue of physical security/IT security

Modern day businesses and organizations face the contemporary issue of physical security/IT security. Whether a business needs to maintain network security for a website or server, or an organization needs to restrict access to a server room, there are several aspects facing the problem of dealing with IT security. Any general computer networking instructor teaches the DOD and/or OSI networking models and from this IT professionals understand that everything start from the bottom, like with the physical level. Therefore, IT professionals tasked to handle IT security, must base their foundation or overall strategy in IT security management on the physical security of software, hardware, and equipment.

Some organizations forget the importance of physical security in an IT security setting may become distracted by the safeguarding features of certain software-based security merchandise and overlook the significance of protecting the network and all its components….
