Ecological Systems

Discuss and examine the ecological systems present to individuals who are experiencing the issues you are examining on a local or national level (Building Trust with the Police and the Community). Focus on the environment, government, ecological, and other forces that impact individuals and groups with this concern. Explain how ecological theory contributes to the maintenance of that issue and how adjustments within the ecological paradigm can create change that impacts individuals struggling with their concerns.

How does Bronfenbrenner’s concept of ecological development challenge the strict use of stage developmental processes in human development? Of what importance is it to know the ecological systems concepts in understanding the implementation of programs in the community provided for ethnically, economically, and socially diverse individuals?

Exosystem

This represents environments that a child does not have direct contact with, but that influence a child’s development nonetheless. For instance parents’ workplaces and various government agencies and institutions can affect resources that groups in the mesosystem, such as families, schools, and neighborhood organizations, have to help a child grow.

Industry-economy interlinkages

The construction industry wants to lobby the government on the importance of investment in building and infrastructure and how this would support economic recovery. The industry bodies, CIOB and QSi, have a particular interest in encouraging government to increase investment in affordable housing, public buildings and infrastructure.

Prepare a report explaining how investment in building and infrastructure can be used to support economic growth. Discuss how the industry’s interaction with the wider economy can lead to an increase in economic growth and therefore at the current time help to sustain increases in GDP. Illustrate your argument by reference to development of the housing stock, public buildings, and infrastructure.

You will need to draw together lecture and reference material on the economics of construction/development. You will need to consider how cycles are generated, how they relate to the interaction between the development industry and the wider economy. You should also note the volatility of the construction/development sector. You should make use of construction output data published by the government. Also examine industry body websites and individual companies.

Note that you are asked for a report rather than an essay. The report should be no more than 3,000 words and, with so few words to play with, needs to be very concise and focused. The report should include diagrams and data as appropriate. Think about the scenario: this is a report designed to convey the key arguments to government in the most effective manner. For advice on report writing you might want to look at Moore and Hesp (1985) Basic of Writing Reports, or, Irving and Smith (1998) No sweat: the indispensible guide to reports and dissertations, or Mort (1992) Professional Report Writing. There are many more texts on report writing available in libraries.

Problems:

1. In scientific visualization, use is made of multiprocessor computers.

1.1.1. Do either of these have a formal proof? If so, present the formal proof and explain what it means (i.e., do not just use formalism, also use ordinary English sentences).

1.1.2. Do either of these have a basis in data? If so, explain the data and explain how the data is used to justify the law.

1.1.3. Which of these laws are more likely to be applicable to most problems in scientific studies??

Business Ethics

Business Ethics
Paper instructions:
The film, Lord of War, explores the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov from his emigration and early misbehaviors in the Brooklyn community locally named “Little Odessa” to the establishment of his arms-trading empire and ultimately to his downfall. The film examines Yuri’s relationships through the years with his younger brother, Vitaly, with his wife Ava, and his nuclear and extended family as well as his parallel business relationships in the illegal arms trade. The language embedded in the film is nearly consistent with the legal constructs of the US Uniform Commercial Code (Negotiable Instruments, Funds Transfers, Bills of Lading, etc.). Yet, for his business to function, Yuri must explore practices that range from the legitimate to the criminal though he tries to remain on the legal side of unethical transactions.

Yuri tells us that “without operations like [his] it would be impossible for certain countries to conduct a respectable war. [He is] able to navigate around those inconvenient little arms embargoes. There are three basic types of arms deal: white, being legal, black, being illegal, and my personal favorite color, gray. Sometimes [he] made the deal so convoluted, it was hard for [him] to work out if they were on the level.” This raises the question about the ethical layers of his business. Furthermore, Yuri notes that “There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That’s one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?” A point which asks us to reflect on whether every business that produces a profit is ethically viable.

Consider the question, then, whether every business model can be matched to ethical and responsible conduct.Is that so? Are there businesses that should not exist? Are there business partnerships that should not be developed? Is every tactic to make a profit ethically permissible and if not, what are the limits? Finally, should a business alter its ethical perspective based on the culture of the partnerships or maintain the ethic of its culture of origin? As an example of the last point, consider the range of corruption: many businesses are aware that “tips” can expedite trade and use them as “appropriate” costs of business; while others limit “tips” to non-government officials to avoid a semblance of bribery.

Using and discussing ethical, stakeholder and moral theory as well as readings , explore the ethical logic of these questions from your perspective.
