He was keeping everyone informed in hopes that action would eventually be taken. Scanlan would take it upon himself to investigate why the recommendations were not being addressed only to be faced with the issue of politics being its driving force. The major issue for the dismissal of the reports by the inspectors from the mine in Illinois was politics. (Illinois Labor History Society, 2012) Scanlan resorted to recommending closing down the mine because of the ignoring of his reports by the administrator and officials. The saddest part of the Illinois mine disaster is that 111 lives have been altered forever in order for the government to be “politically correct” instead of doing what should have be done without even thinking of their own positions and how it would affect them.
Sensibly, they decided to hire an external company, called Industrial/Organization Solutions, Inc. (IOS), to develop and administer its examination. Since the IOS was receiving a very large amount of money to develop and administer its exams, they took extreme measures to verify the test was unbiased, job related, and consistent with business necessity. The extra measures which were taken to validate the exam were done in order to ensure that the exam did not favor White candidates (Mitchell, 2013). 118 firefighters took the exam; including 77 for lieutenant and 31 for captain (ten firefighters did not complete the exam for unknown reasons). It should be noted that
Unit 6 Case Study LS501: Ethics and the Professional Karen Sweeney April 19, 2012 MEMO To: The File From: Ima Lawyer Date: April18, 2012 Re: Last Meeting As the General Counsel for ABC Company, I attend confidential planning meetings with ABC’s executives. At a recent meeting, Charles, ABC’s Chief Operating Officer, revealed the tanks at the waste-water storage facility were leaking. If the water is not released from the tanks, they could explode. Until Maintenance can repair the leak, the company’s best option is to dump highly toxic water into the sewer system to relieve the pressure on the tanks. He also wants to keep the leak and the plan to discharge confidential.
This process begins polluting the ecosystem and harming the food chain from the toxins plastic absorbs and releases. Several projects have been founded to fight this issue, Project Kaisei being one of them. Several other steps can also be taken such as reduce, reuse and recycle, stop littering, reduce disposable plastics and volunteer for beach and coastal cleanups. This problem can and will be corrected with the right education and determination. PLASTIC OCEANS 3 Every year more than 260 million tons of plastic is produced.
He owns a successful painting contracting business which he manages to take car of during the storm. In this story he endures a hard decision of leaving everything behind and sacrificing what he has to leave to higher ground, away from the incoming hurricane. His decision could cost him his life. Zeitoun shows unselfishness when he decides to stay home and takes care of his business while being in the path of a category 5 hurricane named Katrina. One of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit the Unites States.
Sally Blandenburg Professor Primuth U.S. History 2112 Mon/Wed 2-3:20 November 15, 2012 The Triangle factory fire was a major disaster in 1911 in New York, falling behind the General Slocum fire in 1904, and the World Trade Center in 2001, which sparked legislation to enforce improved safety standards and better working conditions for factories and sweatshops. The factory fire brought up attention that work places should have fire-preventative equipment that the employees could access, such as fire extinguishers, along with more accessible routes for the firemen to access locations where employees might be stuck at if a fire occurred and for the employees who can reach it escape the burning building. The fire also encouraged factories to
In some cities they had to actually post arm guards on garbage trucks, people were scavenging for food, people would swamp the garbage truck when they would dump the garbage at the dumps. Production was down particularly of wheat, but there was enough out there but the only problem is transportation and storage system. They were dumping milk in the street as a protest, we didn’t have the system to transport milk from for example Wisconsin to Boston, it couldn’t be done so there are people that are starving in Boston because you couldn’t get the food to them. This is really a crisis and the country knows, Roosevelt knows, if you don’t fix this soon the public will put in dictatorship either on the right or the left. Dictators are very efficient they get things done on time.

People from India, Africa, and South America, all struggling with the problem of maintaing life and receiving affordable and clean drinking water, are all shown to make the viewer aware that this water crisis is universal. Despite this epidemic, big corporations like Vivendi And Nestle are striving. They prey on third world and developing countries who do not have the means to pay off loans taken from The World Bank. These counties are forced then to pay for their own water; water that has been taken from them and privatized. These big businesses, along with government officials, try to hide the problems that are caused by this.
Some think that public administrators are only required in jobs that relate to emergency services such as fire, ems, and police. When you look further into what jobs actually affects the community the list becomes very large. If our garbage and recycling wasn’t taken every week to a designated area to safely be stored or reused, it would affect all of us in a very large way. We can simply burn our trash and try to have organic waste pile in our yard, but eventually it will become a problem. Our yards would become full, it would result in pests, odors, toxic liquids, and methane gases being released into our atmosphere.
