Title: Religious Views on Euthanasia Headings: Religious Views on Euthanasia Religious Views on Euthanasia Page Contents Buddhism Christianity Catholicism Protestantism Christians in support of euthanasia Hinduism Islam Jainism Judaism Shinto Unitarian Universalism Influence of religious views See also Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Share this: Like this: Search Quote of the Day Content: Properly thinning out of the passions and the body is sallekhana. A person is allowed to fast unto death or take the vow of sallekhana only when certain requirements are fulfilled. It is not considered suicide as the person observing it, must be in a state of full consciousness. When observing sallekhana, one must not have the desire to live or desire to die. Practitioner shouldn’t recollect the pleasures enjoyed or, long for the enjoyment of pleasures in the future. The process is still controversial in parts of India. Estimates for death by this means range from 100 to 240 a year. Preventing santhara invites social ostracism. Judaism Like the trend among Protestants, Jewish medical ethics have become divided, partly on denominational lines, over euthanasia and end of life treatment since the 1970s. Generally, Jewish thinkers oppose voluntary euthanasia, often vigorously, though there is some backing for voluntary passive euthanasia in limited circumstances.

Secular Judaism is a separate category with increasing support for euthanasia. A popular sympathiser for euthanasia is Rabbi Miriam Jerris. A study performed in 2010 investigated elderly Jewish women who identified themselves as either Hasidic Orthodox, non-Hasidic Orthodox, or secularized Orthodox in their faith. The study found that all of the Hasidic Orthodox responders disapproved of voluntary euthanasia whereas a majority of the secularized Orthodox responders approved of it.

Shinto In Japan, where the dominant religion is Shinto, 69% of the religious organisations agree with the act of voluntary passive euthanasia. The corresponding figure was 75% when the family asked for it. In Shinto, the prolongation of life using artificial means is a disgraceful act against life. Views on active euthanasia are mixed, with 25% Shinto and Buddhist organisations in Japan supporting voluntary active euthanasia. Unitarian Universalism The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) recommends observing the ethics and culture of the resident country when determining euthanasia.

Research shows that while many belong to a specific religion, they may not always see every aspect as relevant to them. Some metadata analysis has supported the hypothesis that nurses’ attitudes towards euthanasia and physician assisted suicide are influenced by religion and world view. Attributing more importance to religion also seems to make agreement with euthanasia and physician assisted suicide less likely. A 1995 study of public opinion found that the tendency to see a distinction between active euthanasia and suicide was clearly affected by religious affiliation and education.

In Australia, more doctors without formal religious affiliation were sympathetic to active voluntary euthanasia, and acknowledged that they had practiced it, than were doctors who gave any religious affiliation. Of those identifying with a religion, those who reported a Protestant affiliation were intermediate in their attitudes and practices between the agnostic/atheist and the Catholic groups. Catholics recorded attitudes most opposed, but even so, 18 percent of Catholic medical respondents who had been so requested, recorded that they had taken active steps to bring about the death of patients.

Title: The Crusades Headings: The Crusades The Crusades Page Contents Historical background Historical context The major crusades Muslims recapture Jerusalem Crusades in Baltic and Central Europe Crusades legacy The Crusades impact on Muslims, Orthodox Christians, and Jews References Share this: Like this: Search Quote of the Day Content: The Crusades The Crusades Page Contents The Crusades Historical background Historical context The major crusades Muslims recapture Jerusalem Crusades in Baltic and Central Europe Crusades legacy The Crusades impact on Muslims, Orthodox Christians, and Jews References The Crusades were a series of military campaigns first inaugurated and sanctioned by the papacy that were undertaken between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. Originally, the Crusades were Christian Holy Wars to recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims, then to defend Christian-held Jerusalem, but some were directed against other targets, such as the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars of southern France, the Fourth Crusade which conquered Orthodox Christian Constantinople, and Crusades targeting Jews, non-conformist Christians, and un-Christianized populations living in Europe. Initially, the Crusades had the blessing of both the Western (Catholic) Church under the Pope and of the Eastern Orthodox Church under the Byzantine Emperor. However, the Emperors withdrew their support as their own subjects became targets of Crusading efforts to root out what they saw as Christian heresy or paganism. Killing Muslims, Jews, or heretics was regarded as an act of merit, rewarded by paradise, and forced conversion was also widespread, although many chose death to renunciation of faith. Conquest of the Orthodox city of Constantinople by the crusaders in 1204 (BNF Arsenal MS 5090, 15th century) Few contemporary Muslim accounts exist of the Crusades, which were regarded as minor “skirmishes” inflicting “pinpricks on the fringes of the Islamic world” (Fletcher: 84). Crusader principalities were sometimes even regarded as strategically useful, providing a buffer zone between the rival sultanates of Egypt and Damascus. In contrast, the Crusades had profound and lasting effect on medieval Europe. From the Christian perspective until recent times, the Crusades were seen as wars of liberation, not aggression, aimed at restoring Christian sovereignty over the Holy Land.

From the Christian perspective until recent times, the Crusades were seen as wars of liberation, not aggression, aimed at restoring Christian sovereignty over the Holy Land. The Crusades initially elevated the authority of the papacy as the authoritative spiritual and temporal power in Europe prior to the emergence of nation-states. Yet with the descent of the Crusades into indiscriminate slaughter of innocents and aggression against fellow Christians, the moral authority of the papacy and unity of Christendom in Europe suffered. The Crusades also engendered an appreciation of advanced Muslim culture among parochial western Christians. Similarly, the Muslim ruler Saladin greatly respected the English king, Richard Cœur de Lion and chivalric conventions were often upheld on the battlefield following victory or defeat. In the twentieth century, the term “crusade” was revived by some Muslims as a description of what they regard as a Christian-Jewish campaign to destroy the Muslim world.

Current theocracies Christian theocracies Further information: Christian state Holy See (Vatican City) Main article: Holy See and Politics of Vatican City Following the Capture of Rome on 20 September 1870, the Papal States including Rome with the Vatican were annexed by the Kingdom of Italy. In 1929, through the Lateran Treaty signed with the Italian Government, the new state of Vatican City (population 842) – with no connection with the former Papal States – was formally created and recognized as an independent state. The head of state of the Vatican is the pope, elected by the College of Cardinals, an assembly of Senatorial-princes of the Church. They are usually clerics, appointed as Ordinaries, but in the past have also included men who were not bishops nor clerics. A pope is elected for life, and either dies or may resign. The cardinals are appointed by the popes, who thereby choose the electors of their successors. Voting is limited to cardinals under 80 years of age.

A Secretary for Relations with States, directly responsible for international relations, is appointed by the pope. The Vatican legal system is rooted in canon law but ultimately is decided by the pope; the Bishop of Rome as the Supreme Pontiff “has the fullness of legislative, executive and judicial powers.” Although the laws of Vatican City come from the secular laws of Italy, under article 3 of the Law of the Sources of the Law, provision is made for the supplementary application of the “laws promulgated by the Kingdom of Italy”. The government of the Vatican can also be considered an ecclesiocracy (ruled by the Church).

Fortunately, DHL, the international shipping company, was able to redirect many of its flights to destinations in southern Europe that were less affected, and also to shift many deliveries to ground vehicles. In an interconnected, volatile, global economy, supply chains have become increasingly vulnerable. Disruptions — even minor shipment delays — can cause significant financial losses for companies and substantially impact shareholder value. Globalization has made anticipating disruptions and managing them when they do occur more challenging. The potential risks of disruptions are often hidden, and the potential impacts may not be understood. This often results in “black swan” events that can be understood only after the fact. As author Nassim N. Taleb has warned, “Our world is dominated by the extreme, the unknown, and the very improbable … while we spend our time engaged in small talk, focusing on the known and the repeated.” 1 Although companies originally moved production offshore to countries such as India and China to take advantage of lower labor costs, events like Iceland’s 2010 volcanic eruption and the Japanese tsunami in 2011 have shown that the vulnerabilities of extended supply chains are real and serious.

For example, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve, 41% of Minnesota manufacturers said that Japan’s tsunami had affected them negatively. 2 As a result, many manufacturers have reevaluated their sourcing options, and some are shifting operations back to their home markets. While these companies perceive other advantages to reshoring, including improved responsiveness and domestic job creation, reducing their exposure to risk has been an important driver. The reality is that supply chain practices designed to keep costs low in a stable business environment can increase risk levels during disruptions. Just-in-time and lean production methods, whereby managers work closely with a small number of suppliers to keep inventories low, can make companies more vulnerable due to the lack of buffer capacity.

An example of structural/institutional oppression National labor statistics show that among full-time workers in the United States, women on average earn approximately 80% of what men earn . When one closely examines the data and breaks it down, it becomes clear that the primary reason for this is not out-and-out, Mad-Men-style discrimination, where some rabid misogynist sitting in the top office with way too much alcohol in his system is saying things like "I'LL BE DAMNED IF I LET A WOMAN GET THIS JOB!" Rather, the disparity can be overwhelmingly explained by occupational segregation and what's referred to as the "motherhood penalty". And in fact, it's quite likely that a lot of what encourages women to self-segregate in their occupations is the disproportionate burden of motherhood (compared to fatherhood) they can predict to encounter if they decide to have children. ( Yes, a little bit of direct wage discrimination still exists, but it's only causing about a 5% gap, and could easily be fixed by passing a federal law that protects employee's rights to wage disclosure. But I digress). Some observers will then say, "oh, well, this is just a difference in pay that's the result of women's own choices. No discrimination going on here."

Ageism in the workplace can be subtle and hard to spot, at least for those not on the receiving end. Whether intentional or not, it can have the unfortunate effect of driving older workers to disengage from their jobs mentally or even quit. While the loss of experienced employees is harmful to any business, it’s especially so for small companies. Entrepreneurs may not realize how much institutional knowledge is concentrated in a few key employees until it’s too late. Right now, baby boomers, Generation X and millennials are all in the workforce at once, so it’s more important than ever to be sensitive to ageism. Signs of Ageism in the Workplace Even if you yourself are over 40 or 50, you might be behaving in ways that are ageist without even realizing it. Here are 8 signs ageism could be a problem at your workplace. Training and Development Opportunities are Offered to Younger Employees, But Not Older Ones Do you regularly send younger employees to industry seminars or training events, or encourage them to get certifications, but don’t do the same for your older employees?

Title: What Is a Betterment for Accounting? | Small Business - Chron.com Headings: What Is a Betterment for Accounting? What Is a Betterment for Accounting? Deciding on a Betterment Betterment vs. Normal Expense Recording a Betterment Asset Depreciation References Content: What Is a Betterment for Accounting? | Small Business - Chron.com What Is a Betterment for Accounting? Small Business | Accounting & Bookkeeping | Accounting By Bryan Keythman Updated August 01, 2018 A betterment in accounting is a capital expenditure that improves the quality or extends the life of an asset, such as an upgrade of a machine’s production capacity. A betterment differs from normal repair and maintenance expenses. For example, replacing a broken pane of glass in a window is a repair, but upgrading to a more energy efficient window would be an example of a betterment. Which category you assign to your expenses affects your finances differently in your accounting records and financial statements. Understand a betterment’s characteristics to handle the expenditure properly in your small business. Deciding on a Betterment There are some things to consider when deciding whether to spend money on a betterment. A betterment may lower your operating expenses, improve your production output or improve the quality of your products, all of which may result in higher profit. You need to compare the cost of a betterment, which takes place in the relative short term, with the benefits you expect to receive over time.

Physical Causes Economic Causes Marketing Causes Other Causes Content: What Causes a Store to Go Out of Business? | Small Business - Chron.com What Causes a Store to Go Out of Business? Small Business | Running a Business | Out of Business By Kim Durant Stores go out of business for varied, often-overlapping reasons, some of which are in your control, some of which aren’t. Whether you wonder why your competitor's shop window now displays a “Gone out of business” sign or if you think of starting a store and want to make sure you avoid the most common pitfalls, you may be surprised by how many things can cause a store to go out of business. Physical Causes Physical characteristics like location and interior and exterior design features can cause your store to go out of business. Common symptoms of a bad location include inadequate parking, less-than-desirable surroundings, confusing street layouts, little pedestrian traffic and lack of other retail stores in the area. If your store’s exterior signage or window displays have a poor design, people may be less likely to set foot inside even if the location gets plenty of traffic. Poorly designed interiors can also contribute to a store’s demise. For example, if your store plays music at an earsplitting volume, potential customers may leave the store due to physical discomfort. People may also leave if a store lacks a bathroom or if a clothing store lacks adequate fitting rooms.

Economic Causes Stores sometimes go out of business as a direct result of economic causes, such as shifting demand or excessive overhead. Even if your store is thriving by industry standards, it may go out of business if its overhead is too high. Caution in management decisions can help you avoid excessive overhead, such as signing a lease for more rent than the business can afford or hiring more employees than necessary. Shifting demand can sink a store by causing a major drop in sales. For example, if your store sells only a certain clothing label and that label goes out of style, the store may suffer a drop in sales and be unable to meet its staffing and overhead obligations, causing it to eventually go out of business.

This is especially true if the store relies heavily on a niche audience or you have it located in a place with little casual traffic. Inadequate marketing can mean that you don't do enough marketing, or that you don't execute your marketing well enough or do not direct it at the right audience. Other Causes Many other causes exist for store failure, among them too much or not enough differentiation. Souvenir shops in touristy areas are a prime example of the latter problem.

Do the poor really benefit from investments made by large corporations in their country, or do the rich only get richer? If there is benefit, is it simply in job creation or are there other factors that influence a developing nation's overall well being? Although many factions weigh in on the subject, several basic ideas should be considered. Wages and Inequality As companies outsource work to poorer countries in pursuit of cheaper labor, many of the poor in these developing countries are able to find work at wages that are finally able to sustain their families. However, as in any job market, it seems that those with a higher level of skills are the ones who receive the most work. Those with less skill may not receive the benefit of higher paying jobs with a foreign company. As a result, inequity develops among the working class creating a divide within the local economies. The less skilled still struggle to gain financial stability while others can rise out of poverty. The Effects of Greater Income Also, the opening of trade and development of companies in places like China, for example, have led to huge increases in manufacturing and sales.

Bookkeeping vs. Accounting Cash Flow Management Creating Pricing Strategies Good Cost Control Managing Your Assets Creating Tax Strategies Credit and Debt Management Content: For example, someone with good financial judgment knows when to sell an aging asset to get the most for it, disposing of it before it costs more to use than it provides in benefits. A business owner with financial acumen understands that paying for maintenance reduces the chance of large repair and replacement bills. Creating Tax Strategies One way to increase small-business profits is to minimize the taxes you pay. You need financial acumen to create effective tax strategies. For example, you want to depreciate assets over a period that provides you with the best tax write-off. If you're incorporated, you might want to take your pay as a salary or distribution of profits, based on which reduces your payroll tax liability the most. Credit and Debt Management Understanding how to effectively manage credit and debt is another skill people with financial acumen have. Small-business credit cards offer different APRs, fees, rewards, balance transfer offers and interest rates. In addition to cards, you should understand how bridge loans, SBA loans and lines of credit work. In addition to managing your credit, minimize your debt by paying down debt with cash to reduce interest payments while leaving enough cash on hand for emergencies.

Determining Your Target Market Craft Specific Messages Focus on Potential Reach the Right Audience Identify an Under-served Market Cost-effective Strategies Content: This strategy is sometimes skewed however. When it comes to toys, kids are the big end users, so it might be more effective to market directly to them. Even though it is their parents who buy the toys, kids are big influencers of how their parents spend money in this area. Messages marketed to kids can drive them to persuade their parents to make purchases on their behalf. Identify an Under-served Market Businesses of any size can compete effectively by identifying under-served markets. Rather than trying to reach every customer who could use your product, focusing a marketing plan to fit a smaller and possibly unreached part of the total market can allow you to carve out a niche for your product. By focusing resources on a specific customer segment, a small business may be able to better serve a smaller segment of the market than its larger competitors. Cost-effective Strategies Once you know who you are targeting, it is much easier to make decisions on media allocations. If your target market is young women, rather than purchase ad space in every magazine., you can advertise only in those popular with that audience.

You can keep track of your points and even create handouts from notes within PowerPoint. 1 Open PowerPoint and launch the presentation for which you want to take notes. 2 Click in the area below the slide, where it says "Click to Add Notes," and start typing your notes. The notes are associated with that slide, so you need to select each slide individually to enter the notes you want associated with it. 3 Change the formatting for the notes text as desired, using the tools in the Font and Paragraph section of the Home tab. These changes affect any printouts you create from the notes, however, no formatting is applied to notes in Presenter View. 4 Click the "View" tab and then choose "Notes Page" to see your presentation formatted as handouts.

The center operates in commercial space, such as at an office complex, a storefront or even a standalone building. In some cases, day-care centers lease operating space in a church, school or community building, such as a park district facility. These centers may be run on a nonprofit or for-profit basis. Staff members are typically employees, with varying degrees of authority that correlate to their professional education and experience. It is not unusual for the centers to care for dozens of children, who may be grouped into separate classes based on age. Family child-care home: This concept, also known as home-based or in-home child care, offers child care within a private home. Care is provided by the homeowner and other family members, although some home-based child-care providers may hire additional workers to provide assistance.

The educational credentials held by care providers vary, although those who operate and work in licensed family child-care homes must have some training in CPR, first aid and child development as mandated by state licensing laws. A home child-care provider will typically provide care for a small number of children, which may include the children or grandchildren of the provider. This is largely due to space constraints, but is often a selling point for many parents who feel that a reputable home-based childcare provider will give their kids more individualized attention. Research State and Local Requirements The types of licenses, certifications and permits you will need to operate a day-care business depend on the business model you choose.

Make sure to stock your store with good-quality merchandise. This includes unique impulse items as well as common household supplies. To open a dollar or 99 cent store, a business owner has to perform preparatory steps to succeed, including writing a business plan, deciding on the business model, attaining financing and stocking it. 99 Cent Store Business Plan Your business plan helps you solidify your ideas. It should include thorough market research. For example, it will show that big grocery stores dominate the market for perishable goods but that dollar stores dominate the niche markets for everything else including grooming products, snacks and party supplies. You need to take this information and set measurable objectives such as determining your margins. Independent or Franchise If you plan on opening a bargain retail business on your own, you should already have experience in this industry. While not opening as a franchise can offer you benefits such as lower initial investments, no royalties and being your own boss, you may experience difficulties if you don’t have industry experience.

Law Professionalism Continuity Change References Writer Bio Content: What Is the Purpose of an Administrative Agency? | Small Business - Chron.com What Is the Purpose of an Administrative Agency? Small Business | Accounting & Bookkeeping | Accounting By Walter Johnson The purpose of an “administrative agency” is identical to the purposes of bureaucracy. An “administrative agency” is a slightly fancier, euphemistic word for bureaucracy. Technically, administration or bureaucracy refers to any centralized organization, public or private, and how they express or extend their reach. Yet, its general connotation is that bureaucratic organizations are governmental and hence “public.” Law Whether public law or corporate policy, the purpose of administration is to administer and execute that law. It is meant to “extend” the force of that law or policy to all those areas of life that the law is meant to reach. The accounting department of a firm is an administrative agency designed to keep accurate books detailing the firm's income and expenses over time. The accounting department -- or administration -- must remain in its bounds as set by law or policy to retain its legitimacy and focus on its purpose.

In the federal government, Medicaid, for example, has its own administration of government employees expressly hired and trained to deal with the law and policy as it relates to health insurance, poor relief and dealing with hospitals and doctors. Therefore, an agency like this only works if its employees are professional, with expert knowledge on the laws governing health insurance for poor Americans.

Either measure of value can be higher than the other, and both types of value can change over time. Factors Real value is generally easy to measure. A business must account for the costs of labor, raw materials, shipping, marketing and product development, which allows it to calculate the product's real value. Perceived value is much harder to determine. Factors such as scarcity (including artificial scarcity), marketing efforts, novelty and brand associations all play into perceived value. For example, two businesses may sell similar cars that cost the same amount to produce, giving them identical real values. However, one car will likely have a higher perceived value if its maker has a reputation for reliability, and if the car at the center of a national marketing campaign that uses celebrities and the suggestion of exclusive luxury to appeal to potential buyers. Impact The impact of real and perceived values, and the differences between them, are manifest in sales results and how businesses price their products. A higher perceived value will lead consumers to think that a product is better than other items with the same real value selling for a similar price.

A higher perceived value will lead consumers to think that a product is better than other items with the same real value selling for a similar price. At the same time, the price can impact the perceptions of value. For example, businesses that release special limited editions of existing products can sometimes create a sense of a higher perceived value, due to exclusivity and novelty, even if the product has the same real value as an existing item that sells for a lower price. Marketing Efforts Businesses rely on marketing and public relations efforts to improve the perceived values of their products. When done effectively this allows them to keep prices steady and see sales increase, or raise prices to increase profit margins. Marketing efforts may address specific problems in perceived value, such as a recent product recall or a reputation for poor quality.

Title: How to Record the Depreciation of Buildings in Accounting | Small Business - Chron.com Headings: How to Record the Depreciation of Buildings in Accounting How to Record the Depreciation of Buildings in Accounting Tip Depreciation on a Building: Journal Entry Depreciation Details References Writer Bio Content: When you make improvements or upgrades to a building – adding a loading dock, widening the sales area, installing a new HVAC system – you depreciate those, too. Their useful life may range from 10 to 40 years. If the improvement extends the building's useful life – by replacing the roof, for example – you have to recalculate depreciation based on the new life span. You can simplify your accounting by treating the purchase price of an asset below a certain limit as a straight expense, AccountingTools advises. For example, Salt Lake Community College writes off building purchases as expenses unless they cost at least $250,000. This simplifies the accounting – you don't have to record accumulated depreciation on a building – but it makes the profits for the purchase period much lower on paper. The details of tax-deductible depreciation are different from GAAP rules. The experts at BKD report one big difference is that the IRS has rules allowing you to claim more depreciation in the first few years after the purchase. Accelerated depreciation lets you deduct more of the cost, though you'll have a smaller depreciation write-off later. ‒‒:‒‒ / ‒‒:‒‒ Replay Skip Ads by Read More References AccountingTools:

Title: How the Specialization of Labor Can Lead to Increased Productivity | Small Business - Chron.com Headings: How the Specialization of Labor Can Lead to Increased Productivity How the Specialization of Labor Can Lead to Increased Productivity Workers Master One Task Specialization Makes Best Use of Worker Skills It Saves Time References Content: How the Specialization of Labor Can Lead to Increased Productivity | Small Business - Chron.com How the Specialization of Labor Can Lead to Increased Productivity Small Business | Advertising & Marketing | Product Life Cycle By Sampson Quain Updated February 04, 2019 Specialization of labor is most often known as the division of labor and refers to a process in business in which large tasks are divided into smaller tasks, and different employees or different groups of employees complete those tasks. Specialization is highly desirable in large-scale operations such as car manufacturing because it allows workers with specific skill sets to efficiently perform a specific task. However, specialization is also beneficial for small-business owners who are interested in increasing productivity. Workers Master One Task The idea behind specialization of labor is to create what is known as “economies of scale,” in which an increase in productivity reduces the average cost of making a product. When workers are trained to perfect one task rather than having to handle a host of tasks, they tend to master the one task quickly and become far more efficient. When workers are efficient, they are also productive, so one of the major benefits of specialization is that it frees your employees to focus on doing one thing and doing that thing well. Specialization Makes Best Use of Worker Skills If you own a business that makes custom bicycles, you’d be hard-pressed to hire one employee who can design bicycles and assemble every component of the bicycles from start to finish. However, if you hire one person to design the bicycles and another person to assemble the bicycles, you specialize the labor and maximize the workers’ skills. That, in turn, leads to better productivity because you don't have to spend time and money training your bicycle designer how to make the bicycles, and you don't have to spend time and money teaching your bicycle maker how to design bicycles. More importantly, it’s highly unlikely that either one of your workers has the skills and motivation to learn the other person’s specialty, so dividing the labor is an efficient use of each person’s skill set.

It Saves Time There’s an old business adage that “Time is money,” and as the owner of your own company, you know this better than anyone else. When you spend time doing anything other than making your products or developing your services, you're losing money because you can’t sell what you haven’t made or developed. When you implement a smart division of labor strategy, you save valuable time. Returning to the example of the bicycles, what happens if you only have one person to design and make bicycles? You wait for that employee to finish designing one bicycle before beginning to assemble it, and while the employee is making that bicycle, you don’t have anyone to design the next bicycle.

Title: How Does Stereotyping Affect the Workplace Environment? | Small Business - Chron.com Headings: How Does Stereotyping Affect the Workplace Environment? How Does Stereotyping Affect the Workplace Environment? Stereotyping in the Workplace Effects of Stereotyping on Individuals Building a Diverse Workforce Content: When stereotyping leads to harassing and discriminatory situations, the work environment becomes tainted with negativity. Someone feeling attacked via the stereotype may feel unsafe or as if they don't belong. This separates teams and stalls creative efforts. People are more likely to have higher anxiety, get sick more often and not focus on work. This all leads to lower productivity. If left unchecked, stereotyping with impacts on the company culture can lead to discrimination lawsuits by existing or former employees who feel management doesn't care about their well-being and maybe even promote the negative and unwanted behavior. Building a Diverse Workforce Diversity training is how companies prevent stereotyping from becoming a problem. In diversity training, workshops and role-playing review common scenarios that could lead to negative stereotyping situations. As employees go through training, they often realize that their own actions, even innocently acted, are inappropriate. This is a significant part of helping to build a workforce that accepts and understands each other, and appreciates differences in individuals.

Over time, iterations of existing products will have greater demand if you enhance them in ways that customers want. Promotions The common business function used for the purpose of driving company or product demand is promotions. This is the marketing component where you pay for advertising, use media opportunities with public relations and engage in personal selling activities with prospects and customers. Emphasizing the merits of your product over competing alternatives and explaining its value proposition is key. You can also leverage existing customer relationships with cross-selling to promote a particular product to a loyal customer. In-Store Demonstrations A common technique that has become increasingly used in retail businesses is in-store product demonstrations. Food samples have been a mainstay in supermarkets. Electronics retailers offer a number of display products for customers to try when they enter the store. This increases buyer interest and allows a customer to experience a product before purchase.

Employees Develop a Stronger Sense of Commitment Employees should feel that company-wide decisions are being made logically, reasonably, and with everyone’s safety and security in mind. They’ll be much more likely to commit themselves to the cause and help achieve every goal you’ve set for the organization. When you find yourself being hesitant in making hard decisions or feeling unsure of the path you need to go down, employees will feel that discomfort and take it upon themselves. If your team can’t trust that you’ll lead them to success, they can’t truly commit themselves to you or your organization. If you can’t show them the dedication they need to see, you can’t expect them to return it. Make sure your staff feels that this is a business that deserves their allegiance. Be a strong leader who knows the importance of decision-making in business and makes the right decisions always. Improved Employee Satisfaction When your staff knows that their jobs are secure and your choices are reliably based on logic, the workplace atmosphere improves dramatically. As employees feel safe in their workplace, they’ll be much happier and more creative.

A confidence interval is a range of values that measure the level of certainty or uncertainty after conducting analysis on a sampling method with an anticipated confidence level. Any number of probabilities can be taken by a confidence interval. Basically, the confidence interval computes the range of values that would likely comprise an unknown population parameter. For instance, a researcher chooses different samples from the same population and find varying results in each of them. As the results are different, some intervals wouldn’t contain true parameters, while others will. Confidence interval might be a trickier topic to understand due to the complexities involved in it. And solving confidence interval problems is an even more daunting issue. But there’s no need to worry anymore, as you have free access to the confidence interval calculator on SmallSEOTools.

After entering these values, click on the confidence level drop-down list and select a confidence level for the problem you are solving. The confidence level calculator provides a different confidence level. Lastly, hit the calculate button to make the confidence interval calculator process your entered values. This smart tool will take a couple of seconds and display results on your screen. Factors That Affect Confidence Intervals The width of a confidence interval could be either narrow or wide. If we look at the confidence interval formula, we can see several factors that can impact the confidence intervals. It’s vital to have narrower confidence intervals as you can gain more information about a population parameter with it. Let’s look into some factors that affect a confidence interval inversely or directly. Size of Sample In the confidence interval formula, the size of the sample is represented with n. The sample size works indirectly with a confidence interval;

A bigger sample size generates more reliable results as it has more information about a population parameter. Confidence Level The confidence interval increases as the confidence level are increased while all of the other factors are fixed. It’s essential to reduce the margin of error, and that’s only possible by improving the quality of data and using a higher confidence level.

However, resource scarcity within the criminal justice system continues to impede the battle against sexual violence. The challenge of "making society safer" not only includes the need for resources, but also requires a comprehensive understanding of accurate offense patterns and risk. ( For a discussion of adult "Sex Offender Risk Assessment," see Chapter 6 in the Adult section.) This knowledge may be used to devise offense typologies, or classification systems, that will inform decisions regarding investigation, sentencing, treatment and supervision. ( For more on "Effectiveness of Treatment for Adult Sex Offenders," see Chapter 7 in the Adult section.) Although other typologies exist, this chapter only includes the classification systems that have been empirically derived and validated.

Researchers have developed specific classification-unique offender characteristics (Knight & Prentky, 1990; Simon et al., 1992). Most of these typologies imply that victimization (i.e., who is a potential victim) is linked to the specific type of sexual offender (e.g., rapists sexually assault adults/peers, child sexual abusers sexually assault children). Traditional typologies have been developed to provide a comprehensive understanding of deviant sexual behaviors required for treatment intervention and effective supervision. However, classifying sexual offenders has been shown to be problematic. Sexual offenders exhibit heterogeneous characteristics, yet they present with similar clinical problems or criminogenic needs (e.g., emotional regulation deficits, social difficulties, offense supportive beliefs, empathy deficits and deviant arousal);

This section reviews the most frequently used and empirically tested sex offender typologies for child sexual abusers, rapists, female offenders and internet sexual offenders. Child Sexual Abusers Finkelhor (1984) provides the most comprehensive definition of child sexual abuse: Child sexual abuse is the use of force/coercion of a sexual nature either when the victim is younger than age 13 and the age difference between the victim and the perpetrator is at least five years, or when the victim is between 13 and 16 and the age difference between the victim and perpetrator is at least 10 years.

Child sexual abusers often develop a relationship with a child to manipulate him or her into compliance with the sexual act, which is perhaps the most damaging component of child sexual abuse (John Jay College, 2004). Indeed, a defining feature of child sexual abuse is the offender's perception that the sexual relationship is mutual and acceptable (Groth, 1983). Differences Between Child Sexual Abusers and Rapists Child sexual abusers have been difficult to classify as they vary in economic status, gender, marital status, ethnicity and sexual orientation. Child sexual abusers are often characterized as exhibiting poor social skills, having feelings of inadequacy or loneliness, having greater sexual problems or being passive in relationships (Cortoni & Marshall, 2001;

Differences Between Child Sexual Abusers and Rapists Child sexual abusers have been difficult to classify as they vary in economic status, gender, marital status, ethnicity and sexual orientation. Child sexual abusers are often characterized as exhibiting poor social skills, having feelings of inadequacy or loneliness, having greater sexual problems or being passive in relationships (Cortoni & Marshall, 2001; Groth, 1979; Maniglio, 2012; Marshall, 1993; Whitaker et al., 2008).

Pedophilia consists of a sexual preference for children that may or may not lead to child sexual abuse (e.g., viewing child pornography), whereas child sexual abuse involves sexual contact with a child that may or may not be due to pedophilia (Camilleri & Quinsey, 2008). According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), a diagnosis of pedophilia requires an individual to have recurrent, intense and sexually arousing fantasies, urges or behaviors directed toward a prepubescent child (generally 13 years of age or younger) over a period of at least six months; to have acted on these urges or to be distressed by them;

References Content: For a discussion of adult "Sex Offender Risk Assessment," see Chapter 6 in the Adult section.) Knowledge about general recidivism, in addition to sexual recidivism specifically, is important because many sex offenders engage in both sexual and nonsexual criminal behavior. Research has shown that sex offenders are more likely to recidivate with a nonsexual offense than a sexual offense (see, e.g., Hanson & Bussière, 1998). Studies have also shown that some crimes legally labeled as nonsexual in the criminal histories of sex offenders may indeed be sexual in their underlying behavior (Doren, 2010; Rice et al., 2006; Heil et al., 2009). Rice and colleagues, for example, reported that "Murder and kidnapping are clear examples of apparently nonsexual violent crimes that, when perpetrated by sex offenders, are usually sexually motivated" (2006, p. 526). In addition, a charge or conviction that appears in a criminal history record might not reflect underlying sexual motivation for the crime due to plea bargaining.

Future Directions Summary Notes References Content: The ability to accurately assess the likelihood of future violent acts — and future criminal behavior more generally — is important to clinicians, policymakers and the public alike. In this context, risk assessment typically involves arriving at an estimate of the likelihood that an offender will recidivate (that is, revert to illegal behavior) after the individual experiences legal consequences or intervention for a prior criminal act. ( For more information on "Adult Sex Offender Recidivism," see Chapter 5 in the Adult section.) Risk assessment serves many purposes throughout the adjudication process. It is often undertaken for dispositional purposes to help determine, for example, an appropriate sentence or custody level or the conditions of community supervision. In these situations, decisions are often predicated, at least in part, on the assessed likelihood of recidivism, with resources being allocated accordingly to promote community safety (Kingston et al., 2008). Research has suggested that offenders convicted of sexual offenses have received more attention from policymakers than any other category of offenders over the past 25 years (Ackerman et al., 2011; Hanson & Bourgon, in press;

Indeed, estimates of risk for sex offenders are used in various community corrections, institutional corrections and civil commitment decision-making contexts. Thus, the scientific and theoretical underpinnings of risk assessment are a critical component of the successful management of adult sexual offenders (Hanson & Bourgon, in press; Mann, Hanson & Thortnon, 2010; Tabachnick & Klein, 2011).

In many respects, the effectiveness of sex offender management policies relies on the ability of criminal justice professionals to accurately differentiate sexual offenders according to their risk for recidivism (Hanson & Morton-Bourgon, 2005). Arguing from a policy standpoint, Tabachnick and Klein (2011) have stated that the results of actuarial risk assessments in particular should inform decision-making at all levels regarding the supervision of adult sexual offenders in order to prevent recidivism. Given the role played by risk assessment in high-stakes decisions such as those involving potential civil commitment for those designated as sexually violent predators, as well as the possibility of lifetime community supervision, reliance on methods and procedures possessing a strong scientific evidence base is especially critical. While much progress has been made regarding the ability of professionals in the field to accurately estimate the likelihood of future sexual reoffense, no one is presently able to estimate either the timing or the severity of such future criminal conduct (J. Levenson, personal communication, May 23, 2011).

Current methods at present allow, in most cases, only for an estimate of the likelihood of both future sexual and nonsexual offending over a specific timeframe. The accuracy of these estimates depends in part on the degree to which the individual offender being assessed matches a known group of sex offenders (knows as the normative sample or norm group) and the degree to which the factors included in the risk assessment accurately reflect the known universe of relevant risk factors. Review of Research The purposes of risk assessment span the spectrum of the adjudication process. Sex offender risk assessments are most often employed in applied forensic settings for purposes of decision-making (Doren, 2002).

Sex Offender Management Practices Across the Criminal Justice Spectrum Methods of assessing sex offender risk can generally be categorized as follows (Hanson, 1998): Unguided (or unstructured) clinical judgment: The evaluator 1 reviews case material and applies personal experience to arrive at a risk estimate, without relying on a specific list of risk factors or underlying theory to prioritize or weight any of the information used. Guided (or structured) clinical judgment: The evaluator begins with a finite list of factors thought to be related to risk, drawn from personal experience and/or theory rather than from relevant empirical evidence.

Title: Headings: Content: Pro 2: Outsourcing can increase economic efficiency. Sometimes companies outsource because of the opportunity costs of doing or producing a good or service themselves. For example, a CEO of a tech startup might outsource HR because she feels her time would be better spent meeting with venture capitalistsand getting her tech team up to speed than with managing employee benefits. When highly skilled people can outsource lower-value tasks and spend more time at high-value tasks, businesses tend to benefit. Proponents of outsourcing say that it can also increase overall efficiency in the economy by distributing tasks to people who have the appropriate skill level for those tasks and letting highly skilled workers be more productive. Pro 3: Outsourcing can distribute jobs from developed countries to developing countries. Some defenders of outsourcing say it’s true that outsourcing to foreign countries (and offshoring) results in the loss of some U.S. jobs but that less-developed nations benefit and that those benefits outweigh the costs to rich countries like the United States. Americans might object to this, they say, but outsourcing can lead to higher wages and more job opportunities in the developing countries to which U.S. firms outsource.

Con 1: U.S. job loss. The drawback to outsourcing that gets the most press is the loss of jobs in the U.S. (or whichever country is doing the outsourcing).

Title: Headings: Content: Advocates also point to the customs receipts of tariffs, which in November were approximately $7 billion. Opponents of tariffs say there are several problems with such measures. First, tariffs increase the price of many goods, which is a definite drawback for consumers. Tariffs can also affect trade agreements between countries. For example, if one country imparts a tariff on a specific import from another country, that country could then respond with a tariff of its own on another good. This, in turn, could cost consumers. While tariffs can protect domestic industries, they can also have a negative effect on these industries. For example, they could result in a lack of competition, resulting in higher prices, inefficiencies and a disincentive to innovation. And while often useful in matters of foreign policy, tariffs can also spark what’s called a trade war. A trade waris when one country sets a tariff or other measures on another country, which then sparks a retaliatory tariff by that latter country, ending up in a cycle of retaliation that has negative effects on the industries on both sides.

History of Tariffs The first tariff by the United States was imparted in 1789. Historically, tariffs were a major source of income for the country until the creation of the federal income tax in 1913. Tariffs also played a key role in matters of foreign policy and negotiation throughout history. There are many examples of tariffs imparted by the United States, ranging from 1930’s Smoot-Hawley tariff, which imparted a tariff on imported agricultural products, or the Fordney-McCumber tariff, a tariff on many imported goods. Tariffs have made a resurgence in recent years, as part of President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy.

Learn the basics of trade wars, their pros and cons, plus how they affect the economy. Trade War: The Basics A trade war occurs when one country imparts a tariffor import restrictions or quotas on imports from another country. As a result, another country imparts tariffs and quotas of their own in retaliation. This can be detrimental to both country’s economies. For example, it can impact domestic businesses and national exports. Also, can raise prices on goods that consumers need and want. Consequently, it can negatively affect diplomatic relationships between countries that are trading partners. However, there are some positives of trade wars, such as shielding domestic industries from foreign imports and job creation.
