The agency has the ability to draft rules concerning the specific task it covers, which have the support of the constitution.
Collegiate bodies such as a board or commission handle the running of independent agencies. The president with ...

The agency theory has been around for quite a long time, but formalization of theory dates back into the 70s. In the past, there have been researches done on this topic such as the one done by Rechner and Dalton (1989) to examine the effect of management duality on risk and its effects to the share price. Others include but not limited to (Grover and Malhotra, 2003; Slack et al, 2004; Mabert and Venkataramanan, 1998; Pannirselvam et al, 1999; Selen and Soliman, 2002).

I. Legal System
The United States criminal legal system is based on the British Common Law system. Common law refers to those laws that are created and imposed by judges in the absence of specific a specific code or applicable statute defining the law (LaFave, 2000). Accordingly, during the early years of the nation when a judge was faced with a criminal activity that was not covered by a statute, he would use precedent, or refer to the decisions of similar cases, for guidance. Absent statute and precedent, the judge would simple use his best legal, professional and personal judgment to make ...

Introduction of the OSH Act

OSH Act was proposed due to the accidents that were being experienced in the industries. The industry- specific safety statutes were still being enacted at the period. Most of these statutes protected employees under the federal agency contractors, and those that dealt with maintenance. The health and safety issues were also limited to a number of unions that represented workers that were in hazardous industries. The most common hazardous industries back then were electrical industries, mining, construction and auto. As the incidents of industrial accidents rose in the late 1960’s, there was a need to come up with a health and ...

The long-term care system in the United States is becoming an increasingly importunate policy issue. With the increasing number of the elderly people in the U.S., there is need for policy makers to incorporate policies to take care of their needs. Despite the fact that long-term care receives little attention than health care, long-term is also of equal importance in the U.S. There are challenges in implementing the long-term care system in the U.S. because of many unmet demands and the chronic illnesses of the elderly. The state and the federal government differ on who should finance the long-term ...

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humans. Individual’s lifestyles have developed to such an extent in developed countries that people continue to drain the earth of fossil fuels used to sustain humans. The result is that global warming is happening as a result of natural but predominantly human activities that release carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Measuring the best forms of energy to counteract this depends on a number of technological, economic and societal variables. It also requires the efforts of government to use command and control along with economic incentives to the highest potential for each ...

The modern scientific method dates all the way back to the days of Isaac Newton who, ironically, only went to university because his parents thought he was too poor of a farmer to make anything of himself – so they sent him to read theology (Weisstein, 2011). The climate of research and inquiry produced one of the most transformational minds in all of the history of science. In addition to his laws of motion, he also developed the basis of a scientific method that still guides research and experimentation done in the present day.

Newton’s scientific method boiled down to four ...

Introduction

(Institute/University)

Abstract

Recent news of police engaging lethal force to contain seemingly non-dangerous situations has dominated headlines in the news. News such as the shootings of Kajieme Powell, Michael Brown and countless others and the seeming impunity that the system grants the accused proffer that the system will use any avenue to impose the upper classes’ will on the lower class in the guise of crime control. However, rather than project a racist slant, the research also looks on the possibility that the police officers, in the line of duty, must be given enough latitude in determining the situations that ...

Aspects that Provide for Legitimacy of Federal Laws and Regulations in America

Federal regulations and laws in America apply throughout the country, including individual states that build up America’s entirety. The existence of the regulations, however, owe to various aspects within the country that govern and limit their application. Generally, the American Congress ensures the passing of regulations and laws that govern the country, and additionally authorizes various federal agencies to create and enforce the regulations (Bumgarner, 2006, p. 4). The Administrative Procedure Act, for instance, governs administrative agencies’ proposal and establishment of laws. In addition, the Housekeeping Act, the Congressional Review Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and the Regulatory ...

Introduction

Freedman’s commentary of nuclear deterrence being, C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas la stratégie or ‘It is magnificent, but it is not strategy’ in English, may have been coined from the famous remark of French Marshal Pierre Bosquet while watching the British light cavalry wipe itself out in The Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava in the Crimean War of 1854 in which he exclaimed, “C'est Magnifique, Mais Ce N'est Pas La Guerre” or ‘It is magnificent, but it is not war’. In a similar note, Freedman is implying that the possession of nuclear weapons ...

Forensic science has grown significantly in the contemporary criminal and civil litigation sector over the last two decades. The primary purpose of forensic science is to assist legal representatives or attorneys to make compressive legal decisions. This thesis ideally seeks to conduct an assessment of the ethical issues surrounding forensic evaluations. Ethics is itself a branch of philosophy concerned with the rules of behavior that are acceptable within a given society. However, in this case, the forensic science professionals work within an outlined code of conduct in the medical ethics. The sector of forensic science requires high consideration of ethical standards ...

According to social theorist Karl Marx, revolution is "an unstoppable historical force growing out of class inequalities that are rooted in the ownership of the means of production" (Handelman, p. 221). In essence, the bourgeoisie, who are the ruling elite, controls through various means all the power and resources that are available to the detriment of the working class. This leaves the 'proletariat' unable to rise above their station or gain any agency in the government or nation to which they are dedicating their hard work and resources. Marx, in The German Ideology predicted that, in any such system ...

The movement from sites of waste-disposal of contaminated groundwater is a problem faced by many cities in world. Solid and liquid waste dumped in landfills generates an atmosphere where inorganic and organic compounds present in the water or which are produced in the landfill become prone of entering the hydrological regime through movement. The movement of contaminants in water bodies through landfills is more distinct in temperate and humid climates as penetration of rainfall is moderate to high, and separation of leachate from the aquifers which are underlying for extended time periods becomes a complex process. In such areas, landfills gets ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

Examination of Performance Review Conflict

Examination of Performance Review Conflict

However, ratings for each criterion depends, in part, on the subjective interpretation of the supervisor. Rater bias and favoritism based on gender, race, age, physical appearance or attractiveness, personality, and personal relations or interests may influence supervisor ratings.

Introduction

The transnational corporation (TNC) has been described both as a primary hindrance to growth and a driving force of development. It is viewed both as a main catalyst of underdevelopment through an extensive depletion and transfer of resources to highly developed economies and as a powerful entity able to transform the productive mechanisms in the economically impoverished parts of the globe. Broadly speaking, as defined by the United Nations (UN), the word 'transnational' means “that the activities of the corporation or enterprise involve more than one nation” (Sagafi-Nejad & Dunning 2008, p. 3). Some scholars argued that the definition have ...

Social work is often misinterpreted in mainstream society as a job that one can simply walk into, knowing the ins and outs. Social workers have a job to better communities and families, and to do so appears to be a matter of common sense. Many are surprised to find out an individual may need a University level degree in order to get a job as a social worker. Stranger still, many are surprised you need a degree at all. While it is true that much of what social workers do does involve common sense, they still have laws to abide by. There are still ethical codes ...

Question 1

This argument is rather pedestrian, especially considering that the modern society is based on co-existence. Taking the United States as an example, multi-cultural societies are inevitable in the contemporary world, where globalization is the force behind the destiny of the human race. Race should not be the determining factor as far as what one will do is concerned. On the contrary, all races should be treated equally with such doctrines as the equal employment opportunity being the guiding principles. The origins of this person’s logic could be the basic reasoning of a person in a society with class conflict, with ...

Cultural anthropology, as a practice, notes the fundamental and subtle differences between cultures in an increasingly globalized world. As the world gets increasingly smaller, cultural anthropology will become more complex, especially when it comes to economic systems and how they interrelate. Globalization has led to increased access to foreign goods; various economic and cultural theories will be used to explain the effects that the melding of different cultures and markets are having on the way nations and peoples interact economically. A shift towards democratic autonomy is suggested as a potential solution for the complexities of melding different economic systems in a globalized ...

Introduction

Of course, terrorism has now become an issue of global concern. The mushrooming of the terrorist groups has posed a very great challenge to the global community. The inhuman attacks by the Al Qaeda, Taliban, Tamil Tigers, Al Shabaab and Boko Haram have resulted into the loss of innocent lives.

Law

The role played by the Legislative Branch of the government in the regulatory process can take place in its generic form in the legislative veto, which involves a stipulation wherein Congress shall reserve the right to disapprove an action taken by the agency under an administrative statute (Barry and Whitcomb, 2005, p.65). In most instances, the executive action which is being questioned is the adoption of an administrative regulation. This will serve as an administrative check on the administrative implementation of a statute which has been known as a “legislative veto”. This refers to the reservation of power used by Congress to ...

Part I: The Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers and Self Government Matrix

Figure 1: Adapted from Patterson (2012, p. 40). The separation of powers derives from the need to limit the government’s power by creating separate institutions that share power with no single power being able to exercise decisive power without the approval or support by the rest of the institutions.
The people of the United States have the power of self-government, expressed in the constitution ensured through the provision for individual liberties. The people have the original power including the power to change the constitution, which subsequently gives and governs the exercise of power. However, in order to ...

PART 1

Society and institutions are key concepts in sociological studies. From as early as the 1980s, there have been attempts to revise the key sociological concepts of institutions giving rise to ‘New Institutionalism” or “Neoinstitutionalism.” At first, the ideas were based on organizational theory but the ideas quickly broadened to include micro sociology or individualism and global sociology. In sociological studies, institutional analysis is conducted for understanding how institutions affect and influence individual and collective human behavior. Conclusions can be made through empirical approaches or inferential analyses, which give various scientifically admissible conclusions on the subject. Past studies have shown ...

Disaster and emergency management have increasingly become challenging in different countries due to increasing complexity, frequency and magnitude of disasters. There are four stages involved in the management of a disaster. These include the mitigations stage prior to the occurrence of the disaster, where various mitigating activities and actions are put in place. Disaster preparedness is the second phase of disaster management, which involves education, outreach programs and trainings to the local communities in planning for disaster. The response phase is the phase after the occurrence of the disaster and involves a response from various involved stakeholders. The final phase is ...

Constitutional rights have always been regarded supreme to other rights and, therefore, prima facie would take preference in case of any conflict with any other rights. However, as the world develops there have been proliferations of other conditions and needs that are essential and should be protected to ensure tranquility in the society. This means that despite civil rights being created to grant citizens exclusive rights to enjoy their free will in response to the conditions at that time; the law and the supreme court have in some cases found it necessary to curtail these rights in order serve ...

Implementation of the client-server network becomes efficient since, in case of business expansion, fewer disruptions will be experienced. The resources and data security will be handled through the server. This type of network design allows easier access to the server from various locations and platforms ...

1.0 Introduction
Medicare fraud refers to obtaining money from the Medicare system under false pretense. Many Americans cannot afford to pay for health services. As a result, the Social Security Act in 1965 gave rise to Medicare in order to finance diverse forms of medical care for the vast number of Americans who cannot afford medical insurance. Different forms of Medicare fraud have evolved in the recent past but the bottom line for all of the forms is to illegitimately collect money from the Medicare system. Medicare fraud is just a fragment of the much bigger and intricate web of ...

What is meant by the term "Competitive Elitism?" Using the suggestions of Max Weber and Joseph Schumpeter, identify the ways in which the modern state has deviated from the classical notions of democracy.

Competitive elitism is a type of democracy in which "there [is] little scope for democratic participation and individual or collective development, and where whatever scope existed was subject to the threat of constant erosion by powerful social forces" (p. 125). Essentially, the tenets of science and philosophy, as well as logic, are eschewed in favor of technical development and uniformity. At the very least, an overwhelming majority ...

Coliforms

According to Mohapatra (488), coliform is a general term used to refer to Gram-negative, rod-shaped facultative anaerobic bacteria. These coliforms are identified by production of a gas from glucose or other sugars. In addition, the fermentation of lactose acid and production of a gas within 48 hours at 35 degrees Celsius is also another identification criterion that is used. Species that fall under the coliform group include Citrobacter, Escherichia (E.coli), Klebsiella and Entrobacter (Mohapatra 488).

Fecal Coliforms

Fecal coliform bacteria normally thrive in the intestinal tract of humans and other warm-blooded animals. Hagedorn, Blanch, and Harwood (454), classify fecal coliforms as a group of coliforms ...
