Employee Theft

†¢Explain the reasoning behind employee theft. Employee theft could be a result of many issues that arise at the place of employment. Low morale at the workplace is a major reason why businesses suffer from low production and stealing at the workplace, especially if the employee feels that the business or company has wronged or mistreated them in some way. Another reason would be if the employee feels that they are underpaid or under-appreciated for their performance. In sales, lack of control over inventory makes it easier to steal because the employer does not have preventive measures to avoid it. Preventive measures are crucial to reducing the risk of employee theft. If preventive measures are not existent then the opportunity to steal is very high. The best way to control employee theft is to set policies and guidelines regarding the issue. If there are no set consequences to employee theft then employees will continue to steal, because they think that they won’t be punished. †¢Explain ways the culture of our capitalists society encourages attitudes like those Sheehy describes. I would say a culture of technological revolution and an ever expanding ‘action-packed’ business world, along with an image shaped by a culture of video games and action movies has definitely contributed to encouraging attitudes like those Sheehy describes. As it is stated in the text, â€Å" The college students in particular, reports Sheehy, believed that a no- holds- barred, trample- over- anybody, get- what –you- want approach is the necessary and glamorous road to success. This relates directly to the John Rawls notion of justice as fairness. Rawls lists the following among the equal basic liberties: â€Å"freedom of thought and liberty of conscience; the political liberties and freedom of association, as well as the freedoms specified by the liberty and integrity of the person; and finally, the rights and liberties covered by the rule of law. † This notion is characteristic of the capitalist society. There are many contributing factors surrounding employee theft. I think that the desire to steal is a direct result of your moral values. Sheehy stated, employee theft accounts for 50 percent more revenue loss for retailers than shoplifting. So what’s causing the employees to steal? Some employees may steal because the opportunity presents itself, others may steal because it’s part of their DNA, and some may still because they feel that they may be underpaid therefore; they are entitled to more and will compensate themselves. For example, I have a friend that was a Shift Manager at Popeye’s and she was recently fired for stealing money. I asked her to rationalize her actions; she stated that she was getting underpaid and was upset because the company recently hired a new Shift Manager with a higher salary. She also, stated that she was very flexible, worked long hours if needed, and always helped others with their tasks and duties. Bottom line, she felt that the company did not value her hard work and dedication; therefore she stole the money to even the score. She is now looking for a job and her unemployment was denied due to theft. I believe the employees that steals from their workplace, did not take time out to think about the consequences if their caught. In summary, the attitudes Sheehy shared in his report is evident in most businesses today. Some people feel that they will do enough just to get by until something else comes along. Others may feel unappreciated and underpaid, which may cause them to steal from the company to make up the difference. The implications of the work ethics Sheehy reported in the article will have a negative impact on future American businesses, which may cause businesses to close and an increase in corporate fraud. If society does not change the attitudes, we will be a nation without purpose. Having strong work ethics and a mindset of appreciation for the workforce/ environment will help shape our future. Would you report an overpayment to your manager or would you pocket the money if a customer forgot to get his/her change? As mentioned earlier, Sarah reported the overpayment to her manager and coincidently the customer returned back to the store for her change 3 hours later. Sarah displayed a level of integrity and appreciation for her workplace. I believe we still have hope. Sheeny, J. (2010). A New Work Ethic? In W. H. Shaw, Business Ethics (p. 164). http://www. ifpo. org/articlebank/employee_theft. html Explain the reasoning behind employee theft. Sheehy reported that the number cause of employee theft is peer pressures, teenagers are been forced to steal in order to become part of the pack, they feel like they are not been compensated accordingly with their jobs to the nature of their jobs so they feel like it is their given right to get what is owed to them. Also because they can get away with it, it is hard to prove something when no one is willing to tell the truth because they all do it. Explain ways the culture of our capitalists society encourages attitudes like those Sheehy describes. People can actually do what they want to do, if you have a job that you hate, you will not be able to motivate yourself to perform the way you suppose to. On my email signature a work I have a quote saying â€Å"find something you love to and you will never have to work again a day in your life†. It is important that your job should be a hobby, something you are willing to do even if you are not getting paid, but the economy is causing for more people just to take any kind of job in order to survive even if they hate what they are doing.

Bad-Bad Words (Term Paper)

Bad-Bad Words Der’rik Hardin Psych 326 December 1, 2012 Dr. Hennon Bad-Bad Words The goal of this paper is to conduct a series of research on curse words, their meanings, and a brief history of profanity. I also intend to show that curse words are deemed acceptable in certain social situations in the American culture. To begin we must define semantic. Semantics is a branch of linguistics that deals with the study of meaning, changes in meaning, and the principles that govern the relationship between sentences or words and their meanings (Weinreich, Labov, & Weinreich, (1980).It can also be referred to as the study of the relationships between signs and symbols and what they represent. But presently, does the meaning of the curse word matter anymore or is it the way we portray these bad words in a specific social situation? Ambiguity and Curse Words Currently there is no exact theory to explain why humans curse or why we chose the words we use to define these curse words. Psych ologists, linguists, speech pathologists and a number of other researchers have been pondering on such an explanation for some time.According to Jay, (2000), cursing is an essential element of language in linguistics and psycholinguistics that refers to multiple uses of offensive speech. The term cursing is subjected to many ambiguous words such as swearing, obscenity, name calling, insulting, ethnic-racial slurs, vulgarity and slang, (Jay, 2000). These terms will be used interchangeably throughout the paper. Thanks to research conducted by Timothy Jay in 1992, it was quite simple to distinguish between the use of cursing and its many ambiguous terms.For starters, cursing is more than name calling. In fact, to curse is to call upon divine or supernatural power in order to cause harm to another, (Jay, 2000). The intent behind cursing is to cause physical harm on another through the use of words and phrases. Most Americans use cursing in short phrases, out of anger and frustration to get their point across with strong emphasis of the portrayed emotion, (Jay, 2000). Swearing is the use of any word or phrase that is likely to cause offense when used in middle class polite conversation (McEnery, 2005).Swearing originally meant to take an oath legally or religiously until a second meaning allowed the term to take on the use of offensive language (Hughes, 2006). Initially, swearing seemed to induce positivity in sentences as it replaced violent actions as a means of expressing anger (Jay, 1992) and still considered to be a synonym to the closely related word curse. To the American culture, obscenity is viewed as sexual in nature (Jay, 1992). Obscene language may consist of words such as â€Å"fuck† â€Å"cunt,† or â€Å"motherfucker. † According to Jay (1992), to label a word as obscene is technically restricting that word to free speech.This means such a word cannot be used freely and can be subjected to restrictions or punishment from the head governing body. It is the American culture which gives obscene words the relation to sexual content and imagery. For this reason, courts deem obscenity as offensive and not to be freely uttered, especially in the media, books, and other forms of public entertainment (Jay, 1992). Written in The Mother Tongue, English and How it Got That Way (Bryson, 1996), it is mandatory that a film or motion picture be rated R using certain explicit words.The Federal Communications Commission, (FCC), attempted to exclude seven bad words from broadcast television; these consisted of â€Å"shit,† â€Å"piss,† â€Å"fuck,† â€Å"cunt,† â€Å"cocksucker,† â€Å"motherfucker,† and â€Å"tits,† (Sapolsky and Kaye, 2005). Even though Americans can be intolerant of swearing, some swearing does occur on U. S. television (Sapolsky and Kaye, 2005) such as South Park (Grimm, 2003). Producing several successful seasons, South Park used milder bad words like, â₠¬Å"hell,† â€Å"ass,† â€Å"screw you,† â€Å"bitch,† bastard†, and â€Å"son-of-bitch,† for example (Sapolsky and Kaye, 2005).Insults and slurs can be considered other forms of curse words, or bad words in general. They take on a similar meaning as curse words in their similar usage to cause harm to another individual. Although insults and slurs consist of different bad words, they are both forms of verbal attacks. While slurs deal with social background, race, and ethnicity indicating stereotypes, insults denote physical, mental, or psychological qualities (Jay, 1992). Lastly, scatology was a new word for me which refers to the use of human waste products, (Jay, 1992).Americans often hear the use of scatology amongst young adults and children more than older individuals. This is probably because the consept of human waste is humorous to the younger crowd. For example, my son, Aiden, likes to refer to his wet underwear as â€Å"pissy,† when he has an accident (which originated from his grandmother). Other words in scatology include â€Å"shit,† â€Å"ass,† â€Å"crap,† or â€Å"ka ka. † The classification of bad words is quite vital for the purposes of semantic evaluation. This allows linguists to define the different type of meanings these utterances employ on the human language (Jay, 1992).Some of these classifications, as there are more than what I have listed above, may overlap a lot. According to Bryson, (1996) in order to know the actual meaning behind a curse word, the listener must know the intent and evaluate the structure in which the curse word is being used. For example, Whitney tells her best friend to â€Å"shut the fuck up† as they are laughing hysterically opposed to Whitney telling her friend to â€Å"shut the fuck up! † as they are arguing over pizza. The example shows two different scenarios with the same word usage but different emotional intent behind them.In order for the listener to interpret the two scenarios differently they must pay attention and evaluate how Whitney is communicating in each sentence. As put by Dewaele (2004), the perceived strength behind curse words matters rather than reasoned on the basis of word semantics. Curse Words in their Proper Setting Although, mainly found offensive, curse words are not always used to cause harm. For example, in a jokingly conversation between two friends, one may utter the statement â€Å"kiss my ass† which may be found humorous to the other friend.Yet, still individuals do not always find curse words funny, such as when one is being told to â€Å"fuck off† during a disagreement. The use of cursing serves to exaggerate or put emphasis on the emotions of the speaker which also drags attention to the listener (Jay, 2000). For this reason some people curse to show how strongly they feel about the topic they may be speaking on. For example, in my experience, when an argument breaks out the audience will hear name calling, such as â€Å"bitch,† â€Å"whore,† etc. Behind the name calling is direct intent to harm the other person being argued with.Even though this is a bad example to show a positive use for curse words, it demonstrates the emotional anger and frustration that the two arguers are trying to convey through the use of name calling, or the term more widely accepted by the American public, curse words (Jay, 1992). It seems to be mutual knowledge that curse words are bad â€Å"pursue,† yet they are still commonly used depending on the situation or demographics. For example, most parents know not to use curse words around young children. So, when is it okay to use cursing terms and why is it situational based?Not only does the situation matter but the choice of curse words and culture makes a difference. Bryson (1996) provides a list of words found most offensive in certain cultures. Some of these bad words could be c lassified under slurs because they employ racial, social class and ethnic offense to a certain group of people. In Norwegian it is highly offensive to call someone a â€Å"devil† (Bryson, 1996), which is equivalent to the American â€Å"fucker. † Some cultures however do not swear at all as their native language does not contain swear/curse words.These cultures include the Japanese, Malayans, and most Polynesians and Native American Indians (Bryson, 1996). Despite the small number of countries that do not condone to cursing, most cultures curse and have been doing so for a very long time (Bryson 1996). A study on Romans, done by Dr. J. N. Adams of Manchester University in England, found an estimated 800 bad words in their vocabulary. These findings are outstanding, compared to the English language containing roughly around twenty depending on how they are being used (Bryson, 1996).In an essay exploring the use of swear words during stand-up comedy, Susan Seizer found i t appropriate to use such obscenity and vulgar words despite the Supreme Court censorship rulings. Siezer (2011), uses swear/curse words in an idiomatic, non-denotational, and non-referential way to promote humor and laughter for the audience. Her goal, in this study, was to use words such as â€Å"fuck† or â€Å"holy shit† to promote something other than sexual or excretory images to the public.She also intends to further the effect of freeing Americans from these referential and denotational word uses in an attempt to open up poetic pleasures of word play (Seizer, 2011). Seizer’s hypothesis was confirmed concluding her study. Through her examples and experiment she proved that the comedic use of dirty words can be illustrated in a non-denotational manner for the sake of comedy and humor. By using obscenity this way a shift in the audiences expectations and moved away from sexual vulgarity to sorts of pleasure (Seizer, 2011).Obscenity throughout the experiment heightened and intensified the expressions of the speaker’s perspective and comical experiences which also put the audience at ease as the free play with words allow the comedian to open up and heighten the states of hilarity (Seizer, 2011). Seizer’s study promoted the idea that curse words are not always seen as a bad thing but more situational based. Depending on the environment, it seems to be okay to freely play with words such as â€Å"dick,† â€Å"fuck,† â€Å"pussy,† and â€Å"shit,† as Susan used in her experiment.Apparently, if it is humorous to the audience, freedom of speech is accepted anywhere. As reported by Andersson and Trudgill (1992), swearing may occur in jokes for humorous intent and many jokes depend on the shock value of swear words for humor; inversely relating curse words and comedy. Not only are curse words deemed acceptable through comedy but for entertainment purposes as well. Take pornography for example. Swear or bad words are used in porn to heightened erotic behavior between two actors. Coates (2003) also reported the use of swearing in social situations.According to Coates (2003), Adolescents may express their identity of being cool through curse words or to display closeness in friendships and popular group settings. Brief History in Profanity After searching through several articles and multiple books I came to realize that curse words has never had a scientific historian. Mencken, (1944) reports bad words, or profanity as he terms it in his article, came to America from England during the Seventeenth Century. In this age of time the use of curse words was not socially accepted.Mencken (1944) goes on to write about John Adams. In 1755, John Adams established rules for the Navy of the United Colonies in terms of profanity. Sailors who chose to speak profanely were authorized to wear a wooden collar or a shameful badge (Mencken, 1944). John Adams was not the only man in history to punish citizens for the use of profanity. One year prior to Adam’s rules, George Washington employed his own set of rules for soldiers in order to decrease the use of swearing or profane cursing (Mencken, 1944). Unfortunately, these rules did not hold many years.Near the end of the century Richard Parkinson stated the words â€Å"damned† and â€Å"hell† as a new phrase used by many Republicans. Parkinson pointed out that men in high power used profane language as well, including George Washington (Mencken, 1944). Accepting Curse Words Similar to our day in age, the restriction of cursing, profanity, and swearing was not successful and still widely used at the discretion of the public. Written in the North American Review of 1934, and cited in Mencken’s article (1944), Burges Johnson declared that American profanity was losing its† punch†.By that he means the severity of curse words has diminished over time. As we can see, the practice of curse words is becoming more socially accepted and used to express identities for some people while emphasizing the intent behind speech for others. Hinduja and Patchin (2008) reported the extent to which teens swear on social networks. Their research data on swearing and Myspace showed 19. 2 percent of participant’s personal profiles contained swearing and 32. 8 percent of participants swearing on their friends profile.Cursing has evolved and become a necessary part of language (Jay, 2000). Mentioned in Jay’s book (2000), a comprehensive theory of cursing must be incorporated into human linguistics and psychological models of language because it captures the emotional aspects of language along with the emphasized, offensive intent behind the speaker. This theory of cursing must be accepted and incorporated into human linguistics because human language does not exist without human emotion which cannot be separated from emotional reactions in the use of language (Jay, 2000).Works Cited Andersson, L.

Confucianism (Analects) Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words - 1

Confucianism (Analects) - Essay Example The practices vary and the divergence of understanding increase (Jacobs, 2012). Confucianism named after the founder Confucius aimed at uniting the people of China. It got adopted as a rule to bring together the people of china. The exams set on Confucianism took only 24 to 72 hours and any male could sit for the exam. It existed from 600 to 1900 era. Under Confucianism, the humanists control the affair of the country and thus the lack of performance by the government becomes lack of performance of the Confucianism. Confucianism has helped revive businesses eventually leading to the evolution of several achievements and thus the need for its revival (Branigan, 2009). However, the idea to revive Confucianism has not gone quite well with some of the citizens in China and thus many of the Chinese have opted resisting the religion. The Christians do not see this form of religion as Godly. As such, many have decided to resist it no matter what it can offer. The various teachings of Confucianism adopted by the Chinese people reflect on superstitions because they believe in a sculpture carving in the museum with no significant importance. Thus, the Christians have opted resisting its revival in the country (Confucius & Slingerland, 2006). Lunyu explains the relationship that exist when people come together and live as one. The morale and desire to embrace the virtues of the society should make one feel comfortable and part of the family (Jones, 1996). The devotion one has towards the service of ensuring unity determines those whoncan act as good family mamebers and those who cannot. If one can keep the virtues of their leaders, when in their presence, and when not in their presence, that means the person can turn out as a good family member. The commitment exhibited by Confucianism members give equal the commitment by anyone serving the state. This means solidarity must persist forever whether during

Allowing Gay Marriage Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words

Allowing Gay Marriage - Essay Example This is wrong for many reasons, not least of which is the infringement on basic human rights. For many years marriage was between a man and a woman, both of the same races, for the purpose of having children and raising a family. That definition has changed a great deal. For example, the law criminalizing the marriage of two people of opposite races has been abolished. Yet we still cling to the definition of marriage that includes â€Å"a man and a woman† as though it were the only thing in the world that mattered. Why is it so difficult for us to accept change in a fluid world? We do not require people in married relationships to be the same race, in fact that would be discriminatory on more than one level. Yet we find it impossible to step beyond what is considered the definition of marriage. It is generally accepted that marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and that homosexuality is both unnatural and a recent invention. This idea is wrong, however. In fact homosexual tendencies have been observed in over 1,500 animal species, including dolphins, lions, and the dwarf chimpanzee which is one of humanities closest relatives. These homosexual tendencies range from life long partnerships, as with some birds, to single sexual interactions. In fact humans have accepted homosexuality for thousands of years. The first recorded homosexual couple dates back to 2400 BCE in ancient Egypt. These men were Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep, and are depicted in Egypt’s most intimate embrace on the walls of their tomb. There have been numerous other cases of the acceptance of homosexuality in Greek and Roman times as well. We can see from this that homosexual tendencies are neither unnatural nor a new invention. What other arguments are there, then, against same-sex marriages? Unfortunately, the arguments are numerous, if a bit unfounded and full of rhetoric. The most

A story with an epiphany and gothic sensibility like Southern Gothic - Assignment Example He didn’t want his brat of a sister using them while he was gone. He was pretty sure he’d locked the video cabinet and he knew he’d secured the padlock just in case, but he couldn’t remember if he’d fully bolted his bedroom door. They drove all the way out to the house without a word. Uncle Jack was actually Stan’s great-uncle and they didn’t have much in common. Uncle Jack belonged to the old world before there was a color TV in every room and barely even knew what a computer was. He also almost never talked. As they pulled up to the crumbling old Colonial, Stan’s hazel eyes widened with shock at what he saw. Just from the outside, it looked like the place should be condemned, not fixed up in a bid for a historical marker. The drive was choked with weeds, the balconies sagged and the shutters, where present, sagged in frames of broken or missing glass. â€Å"Family helps itself,† Jack muttered, ambling over to the front door, fumbling with the large ring of keys he’d brought with him. Stan was impressed. Keys meant control and possession, two of his favorite things. Uncle Jack swung the blue painted wood door inward with a barely perceptible creak and Stan walked into a hallway filled with sunlight as it danced across the millions of dust motes the outer breeze was stirring. His first reaction was a giant sneeze. It was going to be worse than he thought. Jack pointed to doorways as they stomped down a frayed rug – â€Å"parlor, drawing room’s through that doorway there, library, den’s in the back, dining, storage, this here’s where we stay – servant room.† The door opened to a small cramped space that was just large enough for two twin beds, a nightstand each and a single dresser – no closet. But it was clean and he could smell the wholesome scent of fresh sheets. Stan explored the rest of the house, finding several more bedrooms on the second floor, none of which had a decent

Am I a Competent Communicatior What are My Strengths Essay

Am I a Competent Communicatior What are My Strengths - Essay Example In case of women, they are more expressive of their emotions while the men tend to bottle themselves up and not let their emotions show to the public, if it can be helped as being emotional can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. The idea is to maintain the stiff upper lip, so to speak. In the cultural upbringing of men and women, this is also evident in how they express themselves. It also depends to great extent on the national culture, on what is generally acceptable behaviors. Culture determines how each gender express their emotions in a culturally-approved manner. Along these lines, women tend to engage in conversations more than men. Women in a way are wired to be more talkative and the nature of their conversations are matters which in a way are not very much of consequence, such as exchanging secrets, information and gossip. The men engage in banter just for the fun of it, but also in order to size each other up. This is to measure or assess the personality of the other gu y, a way of analyzing the capability of the person to whom one is talking to. Women talk just for the sake of talking to be comfortable. Moreover, culture also exerts a great influence on non-verbal behaviors. This include hand gestures, facial expressions, length of time between the next word or the silent intervals when speaking, body postures, touching the hand or arms, tone of voice and eye movements. In this regard, the verbal expression when speaking to a person could be either be congruent, contradictory or ambiguous with the accompanying non-verbal expressions. This may tend to either deliver the message accurately to the receiver or may be confusing if it is contradictory. This happens when the verbal message does not coincide with the non-verbal expressions of a person when he or she is talking or speaking to someone, depending of course on a situation. It is therefore very important that we are aware of our non-verbal expressions and gestures. I for one make an extra effo rt to deliver my message across accurately by making all the right non-verbal gestures coincide with what I am talking about to a particular person. This way, it is not possible to get misconstrued and avoid any misunderstandings that can lead to conflict. Men and women handle emotions differently and react to them also differently. Most men are afraid or reluctant to wear their emotions on their sleeves or shoulders, so to speak. In women, they are not afraid to express their emotions which is why people tend to say women are sometimes very emotional. Expression of emotions are very evident when it comes to how intimacy is shown to a partner. In this regard, I try to control my emotions whenever possible, as emotions can either be good or bad, depending on how I react to certain situations. A good example is if my boyfriend tells me â€Å"I need to talk to you about something† which can either be interpreted as something exciting and romantic or understood to mean something worse or bad that affects our relationship. My reaction, in terms of physiological changes, can therefore be good, such as happiness or excitement that elevates my emotions or it can be adverse that affects my blood pressure resulting into hypertension, palpitations, nervousness or insomnia. When it comes to managing conflicts, there is also a cultural and gender divide as to how men and women approach conflict resolution. Women

Adviertisment - Essay Example Rumors may tarnish the quality of a product, but adverts will tend to assure that the product is good. Whether pitching or promoting products and services, all businesses need to make advertisements in order to make connections with their current and prospective customers. Small scale businesses face challenges in making choices on whether to spend their small advertising budgets on television or posters. Print adverts often come with lower sticker prices than the television adverts. TV adverts are strong and have a variety of advantages that the posters lack. Making adverts over the television is more effective than the posters because it reaches out to customers over a wide area at the same time. This survey product on 20th of April 2014 and was given to ilac students , teacher who were in pre-degree iii classes on 8th of April 2014.there were 26persons received this survey however all that people who answered were asked to be anonymous, only there ages and countries can be recorded. Because ilac is an international language school, all of people who answered that surveys covered a particular age from 17-40 years old, include 11 different countries these anonymous were given survey with 10 questions about advertisement. Six of the respondents from Ilac, Russia and two from Asia said advertisements are meant to increase sales in a business. Increasing the sales result in an increase in the profits of a business. But making more sales is not the only use of making. Advertisements can be used as a way of introducing services and products in the market. Through adverts, people who get access to them will learn about the new product without necessarily having to buy them. Adverts can also be used to impress and motivate different trade channels. Making an advertisement about a product may change the perception of how people or consumers think concerning the product. Rumors may tarnish the quality of a product, but
