Profession of Arms After 10 Years of ar
The Pentagon put out a one-page explanation of the Profession of Arms (POA) in 2011 that points out the "significant impacts" the last nine and a half years have had on the "Army, its Soldiers, Families and Civilians" (Pentagon). This missive pointed out that many of the impacts the wars (in Iraq and Afghanistan) are "well documented and are being addressed. There remain, however, other consequences that we seek to understand" and within those consequences the Pentagon wants to "take a hard look" at how soldiers have changed as "individuals, as professionals and as a profession" (Pentagon).

The level of responsibility of today's Army soldiers is "like no other profession" due to the fact that soldiers are entrusted to "…apply lethal force ethically and only when necessary" and obviously this is an extremely difficult task given the "…chaotic and deadly machinations of war" (Pentagon).…...

Profession of Arms Means to Me
According to Hoang, no profession can be likened to the Profession of Arms. In his own opinion, coming up with a precise definition of the Profession of Arms is in itself a difficult task. This particularly the case given that the meaning one attaches to "the Profession of Arms" is largely personal and internal. It was General of the Army Douglas MacArthur who once pointed out that;

Yours is the Profession of Arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed, that the very obsession of your public service must be Duty, Honor, Country… (Bonn, IX)

As members of this noble profession, our number one goal is to serve the people of this great nation by amongst other things securing the nation from any external threat. For this reason,…...

What it Means to be a ProfessionBeing a profession means cultivating core competencies in specific skill areas. It also means establishing norms of behavior, codes of ethics, and an organizational culture. The Army is essentially a Profession of Arms. Using the Profession of Arms framework, it is easier to understand how and why leaders need to create a cohesive organizational culture through human resources management. The creation of a cohesive, stable, and results-driven organizational culture requires effective human resources sergeants. A profession is vocational, but it also requires ongoing training and skills development. ecruitment, training, retention, and professional development are all roles fulfilled by the human resources (H) sergeant.The Balancing ole of the Profession\\\'s LeadersLeadership in all professions helps to propagate or if necessary, change the organizational culture. Leaders serve as role models for their subordinates, and they also serve as the representatives of the profession to the general public.…...

The past and present

The future after 9/11

Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Corps has traditionally been important in the armed forces of the U.S. Provision of training and mentoring to the general rank soldiers and effective assistance to second lieutenants has been the traditional responsibility of NCOs. The NCOs are technicians and team leaders as well. The role has significance in the future as well. After successfully participating in the wars of Afghanistan and Iraq, NCO Corps is planned to go through a 'consolidation' phase in which non-performing senior NCOs will be retired early. Junior and mid-grade NCOs will be retrained to meet the requirements ofirregular warfare contingencies and in-rank counseling.

Ethical Issues in Question in the Ethical VignetteOfficials in the Department of Defense (DoD), like those in any other profession, are required to act ethically at all times to maintain a positive reputation of the profession of arms and build trust among members of the public. To do this, officials must be able to accurately identify ethical issues when they arise in the workplace. An ethical issue is a situation that compromises, either partly or in whole, one or more moral values or standards of professional ethical behavior (Drolet et al., 2023). The ethical issue that the protagonist (the commanding officer) in the vignette faces is whether to allow the cover up of violations of Navy protocols in order to portray a positive image of his division among his superiors during a personnel inspection. There is concern that three sailors in the officers division may not meet the personal fitness…...

Warfare: An Overview
In today's age, traditional warfare, though a major player as we see in the Iraq war, has in some arenas taken a back seat to information warfare.

y definition, information warfare is the offensive and even defensive utilization of information and information systems to deny, exploit, corrupt or destroy an adversary's information, information-based processes, information systems and computer-based networks while protecting one's own. Parties use information warfare to gain military, public relations or economic advantage. (www.psycom.net)

Users of information technology are most often nation-states and corporations. For instance, by gaining access to a rival company's databases, a business can get a valuable advantage on price-points and supply chains. Countries can decide how much to spend on military equipment by discovering how much in military stocks adversary nations have.

One major focus recently on information warfare has been hackers. For instance, the most recent generation of mobile phones has proven vulnerable…...

occupation of computer programmer reflects a number of traditional components of society in the United States. Demographically, the profession is largely made up of while males in their late thirties. As such, the profession reflects stratification by race, class, and gender. However, recent changes in the profession, such as outsourcing of programming jobs to India, threaten this perception. At the same time, the degree of publicity such outsourcing has received (when compared to attention paid to job losses incurred by Black Americans) continues to reflect the race stratification in American society.
A computer programmer, by definition, is an individual who creates programs that allow computers to perform specific functions. This includes creating computer programs, and designing and testing logical structures for solving computer problems. In the simplest terms, programmers tell computers how, where, and when to access information. Commonly used computer languages include Java, C++, and COBOL (Bureau of Labor…...

Description of Painting

hat Bellows has done with this painting is create an exaggeration of two boxers going at it. The boxers are locked in a bloody battle. It is a brutal image. There appears to be blood on the arms and shoulders of the boxer on the left, and it seems as though the neck and part of the back of the boxer on the right shows blood as well. The faces in the audience are twisted, grotesque, and only a very few are even discernible. Just above the boxing mat, under the right shoe of the boxer on the right is a pair of eyes and eyebrows of…...

Adaptations and Accommodations: No Excuses

Adaptations and accommodations:

How it might impact you in your current or future career as a teacher

When dealing with students with disabilities, it is important not to assume that their condition poses substantial limitations upon their ability to lead a 'normal' life. Many persons with disabilities are able to cope with the demands of life extremely well, even if they live in a society which assumes a certain kind of able-bodiedness. A teacher should not assume that a student without the full use of his or her arms cannot complete a lab assignment or that a student without legs cannot fully participate in a school play. "Keep your expectations of the physically handicapped child high. This child is capable of achieving" (Watson, 2013, Physically handicapped students).

The causes and effects of both these occupations were dependent on occupation of Japan by the allied forces.

Ethical Practice Involves Working Positively Diversity Difference
Counseling is a profession that involves associations based on principles and values ethically. Patients are able to benefit by understanding themselves better and through creating relationships with others. Through counseling, the clients are able to make positive alteration in life and enhance their living standards. Communities, organizations, couples and families are different groups of individuals are main sources of relationships (BACP Ethical Framework, 2013, p.4). Frameworks of ethical practice direct the attention of counseling practitioners to engage in ethical responsibilities. This stud describes the purpose of each principle following the development of good counseling practice. Practitioners make reasonable decisions grounded on these principles without making any contradictions. Nevertheless, research indicates that professionals have met barriers hindering them to integrate all the principles in some cases. In such situations, they are forced to select between required principles. A course of action or a decision is…...

Shopping Tourism in Hong Kong

Shopping tourism is a major aspect of the global tourism trade and as such is an area of tourism that is and should be promoted by destination countries and locations. This is true for Hong Kong as well as in other locations throughout the world. Ashworth (1989) writes that urban regeneration and tourism have become critically important activities beginning in the 1980's. Ashworth specifically notes two elements that link the ideas of the city and tourism and which show the complex relationship that exists between the features of a city and the functions of tourism that serve to result in shopping tourism in the city. The first element is comprised by the specific characteristics of a city and how this serves to impact tourism activities. The second element is…...
