Drug Testing Welfare Applicants Free Essays

As of 2011 there are 4. 3 million Americans on welfare and using 131 billion dollars that come from the tax payers. Welfare has been a hot issue in the United States for a while and a common debate is whether citizens that qualify for welfare should be drug tested or not. We will write a custom essay sample on Drug Testing Welfare Applicants or any similar topic only for you Order Now Most Americans agree that some sort of support system for citizens that are struggling financially is a good idea and can help some get back on their feet. Others will argue that many people on welfare abuse their privileges to fund their substance abuse and misuse the taxpayer’s money. My own view is that people should have to pass a drug test in order to receive these government handouts and prevent habitual users from abusing these privileges. Welfare is a federally funded program that gives monetary assistance to citizens who have little to no income. The United States welfare system began back in the 1930’s, during the Great Depression, era due to an overwhelming amount of families that were struggling to get by. Still today there are millions of people barely making by during these tough economic times. Citizens can apply for different types of welfare including social welfare, corporate welfare, child welfare to name some of the most popular. On these types of welfare people can receive different types of aid such as health care, food stamps or child care. There are many factors go into a person’s eligibility for a welfare program. Eligibility is determined by using gross and net income, size of the family, and certain situations such as medical emergencies, pregnancy, homelessness or unemployment. After the initial application a case worker will gather all this information and determine if the person qualifies for any benefits and how much he or she can receive. A person can also apply for a state run welfare program called the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF. TANF, however, is different than most and requires that the applicant find work within two years of receiving aid. Not finding work will result in a loss of these benefits. A drug test is a technical analysis of a biological specimen such as urine, hair, blood or saliva, to determine the presence or absence of specified drugs in a person’s system. A urine drug test, which is the most common in the United States, screens for ten types of drugs: Amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids (THC), cocaine, methadone, methaqualone, opiates, phencyclidine, and propoxyphene. All of these drugs have various detection periods in the human body but the average is two to ten days. Within this window of time. Studies have shown that the prevalence of substance abuse among welfare recipients has varied widely in their findings, with rates of between 10 and 37 percent. Much of the difference in rates found in these studies is due to different data sources, definitions, and measurement methods and the different thresholds used to define substance abuse. Another difference is whether alcohol abuse and/or the abuse of prescription drugs are included in the estimate. Also how can we get true evidence when we don’t have the means to drug test these welfare recipients yet. Employers require drug testing before employment so why should welfare recipients get the same treatment for the gift of receiving government funding. Its tax dollars of the working people funding someone else’s addictions. Drug use and use and its consequences affect all of society that is vital to a strong America. Drug use strains our healthcare, criminal justice systems and endangers the future of our young people with the overall strain on our economy. Florida recently became the first state to require adults applying for cash welfare assistance (i. e. , not food stamps and housing assistance) to undergo drug screenings. Florida Gov. Rick Scott defended the new rule by arguing that: â€Å"It’s not right for taxpayer money to be paying for somebody’s drug addiction. †¦ On top of that, this is going to increase personal responsibility and personal accountability. We shouldn’t be subsidizing people’s addiction. † In 2009, 20 states put in proposals to pass the drug test laws and at least 36 states put proposals in 2011 around drug testing of welfare (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families – TANF) and food stamp (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – SNAP) recipients. When Florida passed the law of requiring drug tests to receive welfare it set a precedent for other states to follow. Florida government believed that by passing this law itwould deter people from misusing welfare benefits to buy drugs. Florida expects the recipients to pay for the drug test and the government will reimburse the recipient the cost of the drug test. Arizona and Missouri require testing for anyone they â€Å"reasonably† suspect of illegal drug use. As of April17, 2010 Utah and Georgia also passed legislation for drug testing.

Review of Harry Potter free essay sample

Acclaimed author Stephen King said, Harry Potter books will indeed stand times test and wind up on a shelf where only the best books are kept; I think Harry will take his place with Alice, Huck, Frodo, and Dorothy, and this is one series not just for the decade, but for the ages. The magic begins with Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. The book opens with Harry as a baby, orphaned when the evil wizard Voldemort kills his parents. Somehow Voldemort was unable to kill Harry and his power was broken in the attempt. Harry is left with a mysterious lightning bolt scar on his forehead, and to live with his bitter aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. Everything changes when Harry receives a letter telling him he has been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Rescued from the Dursleys by Hagrid, Hogwarts giant groundskeeper, Harry leaves for a year full of magic. We will write a custom essay sample on Review of Harry Potter or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page At Hogwarts, he finds himself and instant celebrity. He makes close friends in Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and an enduring enemy in Draco Malfoy. He also discovers his uncanny ability for Quidditch, the very bizarre wizarding sport. Harry also learns more about his mysterious past while solving a mystery that leads him to have his second encounter with a weak Voldemort. While Harry escapes once more, he grows closer to his immense destiny. In the second installment Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry is visited at the Dursleys by a house elf who pleads with him not to go back to school because it is too dangerous for him. Harry refuses to stay and is saved by Ron and his brothers who take him back to their house. At Hogwarts Harry begins to hear voices that no one else can and frightening things begin to happen, all believed to be caused by the opening of the mythical Chamber of secrets. Harry reveals himself to be a parselmouth, a dark power that makes everyone think that he is behind all the terrible things. Harry and Ron find the location of the Chamber and enter it, Harry once again meets Voldemort, this time as a memory of the school Voldemort. The third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry finds himself hunted my the supposed murderer and follower of Voldemort, Sirius Black. He learns more about his father and his fathers close friends while finding that Black is also his godfather and was the one who betrayed his father to Voldemort. He meets up with Black at Hogwarts near the end of the book and learns that Black was never the one to turn his family over but it was actually his fathers other friend. Harry tries to clear Blacks name but fails and must rescue him from a horrible fate. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is Harrys fourth year at Hogwarts and everything is different with the famous Triwizard Tournament happening at Hogwarts. You are finally introduced to the fact that there are more magical schools than just Hogwarts. One champion is chosen from each school, but myseriously Harry is chosen as the fourth champion and must compete in three dangerous tasks. In the third and final task, Harry is transported by a magical portkey to a graveyard where he witnesses the return of Voldemort and narrowly escapes death one more. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the battle against Voldemort begins. A secret society called the Order of the Phoenix takes the lead while the Ministry of Magic refuses to believe Harrys revelation that Voldemort has returned. Harry once again returns to Hogwarts but finds that the students no longer hold him as a hero but believe the Ministrys story that Harry is unreliable and unstable. Voldemort finds a way to lure Harry to the Ministry to, as Harry believes, save his godfather Sirius Black. Harry goes and finds himself surrounded by Voldemorts supporters, the death eaters. The Order shows up to protect Harry and in the fight, Sirius is killed. Harrys destiny is finally reveled in a prophecy about Harry and Voldemort that says that Harry must be the one to rid the world of Voldemort or die trying. The sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the battle against Voldemort continues. Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts begins to have special lessons with Harry to prepare him for his now looming destiny. Harry learns about the existence of horcuxes, pieces of dark magic that Voldemort uses to never die. Harry must destroy all of the horcuxes to be able to destroy Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore set off to find one of them and while they are away death eaters storm Hogwarts. Harry and Dumbledore return to find a battle raging inside the castle. They arrive on top of the tallest tower and are surrounded by death eaters. Harry is hidden and immobilized by Dumbledore and Dumbledore is murdered by Professor Snape. In the final book of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Voldemort has taken over the Ministry and has put out a man hut for Harry. Harry cannot return to Hogwarts and must live on the run with his two closest friends, Ron and Hermione. While searching for the remaining horcuxes, they learn of the mythical deathly hallows and how the obtaining of all three make the owner the master of death. Their quest for the horcuxes take them all over the country and through many dangers. The story concludes where it all began, Hogwarts. Harry Returns to Hogwarts to find the final horcuxes and Voldemort learns he is there. There is a huge battle to defend Hogwarts and many of his friends are killed. The story ends with a huge twist and the eventual destruction of the evil Voldemort. Harry is a character that many can bond with and believe in. He is brave, clever and daring, but he is also a humble, intelligent and a leader. People can connect with him because they are familiar with his experiences and trials. Harry Potter doesnt seem like fantasy. J. K Rowling uses excellent skill that makes Harrys world come out with amazing detail and world-like struggles. Harrys struggles with schoolwork and losses within his family and friends is something that almost every kid and adult in the world can relate to. How Harry gets through these struggles is what inspires people to get through their own battles. Even though the story seems very real at points, you still need to use your imagination to get full enjoyment of the series. Some adults may have problems getting past the fact that the non-magic people, or muggles as they are referred to, dont notice the flying cars and motorcycles or people disappearing through a brick wall in the middle of a train station. But the magic is something that everyone can believe in. One thing I always noticed was how apart from the final book, all the books follow the same main story line. Harry and his friends go to school, struggles through homework and Quidditch, get into trouble at some point for breaking the rules for some valiant reason, and have a big problem or mystery they must solve. It always includes the big conic scene, where Harry usually meets his mortal enemy, Voldemort, and always just narrowly escapes. Even through the predicable plot, Rowling uses her amazing ability to keep you reading until the end and always includes a twist that no one saw coming. The Harry Potter series one of the best series in decades. It has a net worth of around $15 billion including the eight movies, and J. K. Rowling is now the second richest woman in entertainment according to Forbes Magazine. The books are full of moral lessons and qualities and have the magic to turn any child into an avid reader.

Question: Discuss About The Implications Process Innovation Performance? Answer: Introduction The Knowledge Management is a process which helps to use knowledge effectively in a corporate industry. The Knowledge Management Strategy is an effective way to help workforce share knowledge among them in an Organization (Beyk and Halas 2014). The Organization taken in this report is Universal Consultancy Company. The report shows that Knowledge Management Strategy is proposed by KnoMan Consulting Company. This report focuses on implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy in Universal Consultancy Company. The implementation is showed through analyzing organizational culture, such as Communities of Practice or Organizational Learning, of Universal Consultancy Company. The report also focuses on implementation roadmap of Knowledge Management Strategy. This roadmap is used to understand how the project will be rolled out across the Organization. The purpose of this report is to how the proposed Knowledge Management Strategy will be implemented and rolled out across the Organization . The outline of the report is Knowledge Management Strategy, implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy, Organizational culture and implementation roadmap of Knowledge Management Strategy. Discussion The KnoMan Consulting Company proposes Knowledge Management Strategy in Universal Consultancy Company to implement and roll out across the Organization. The below paragraphs discuss the Knowledge Management Strategy described with previous researches, organization culture and implementation roadmap. Knowledge Management Strategy The Knowledge Management Strategy in this report is described through previous study on implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy in an Organization. They are described below in the following paragraphs. The case study of Knowledge Management Strategy in Malaysian Halal Pharmaceutical Companies shows implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy for sustainable performance of the Organization (Hassan and Daud 2017). The case study shows that they needed Knowledge Management Strategy for sustainable competitive advantage and effective business performance. The Knowledge Management Strategy in this case study shows that it is required for Organization sustainability and performance. Another study on implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy in a Mexican small-medium enterprises trading Company shows improvement in Organizations performance (Perez-Soltero et al. 2015). The study shows that Knowledge Management Strategy helps in identifying, preserving and using knowledge to solve problems in less time in Mexican small-medium enterprises. The study shows the effect of Knowledge Management Strategy before and after its implementation in Mexican small-medium enterprises. The proposed Knowledge Management Strategy is useful in helping the Organization to be more objective towards the decision making (Dalkir and Beaulieu 2017). The Knowledge Management Strategy also helps to increase productivity and efficiency. The other benefits are that it prevents system failures in the Organization. The proposed Knowledge Management System for Universal Consultancy is Content Management System (Altun, Gulbahar and Madran 2015). The proposed Knowledge Management Strategies to be implemented in Universal Consultancy Company are given as follows. The Knowledge Management Strategies are Organizational Structures, Organizational Culture, Knowledge Retention, Core Competencies, External Knowledge Network and Knowledge Management Systems. The first strategy is Organizational Structures which deals with the way the physical and non-physical divisions and barriers impact the operation of Knowledge Management. The second strategy is Organizational Culture which ideals with the way an Organization deals with the values, beliefs and attitude among the workforce. The third strategy is Knowledge Retention which deals with the identification of knowledge resources that are vulnerable to risk and should be retained in the Organization. The fourth strategy is Core Competencies which deals with competitive advantages and helps to sustain in the competitive environment. The fifth strategy is External Knowledge Network which deals with identification, evaluation and establishment with external networks such as customers, suppliers and competitors (Trantopoulos et al. 2017). Implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy The implementation of Knowledge Strategy is described in this section with in terms of previous sections that describes Knowledge Management Strategy (Cheng 2014). The implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy is demonstrated in the following paragraph. The implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy has four phases. They are Knowledge Management Strategy diagnosis, Design of Knowledge Management Strategy, Realization of Knowledge Management Strategy and Rollout of Knowledge Management Strategy (Liebowitz and Frank 2016). The first phase is Knowledge Management Strategy diagnosis which helps to analyze and evaluate the specific needs and requirements of the system of the Organization. This phase is concerned with the needs of an Organization for implementing Knowledge Management System. This phase includes four dimensions of Knowledge Management Strategy that are documentation, communication, generation and utilization. These dimensions are used to realize the problems that exist in the Organization. This phase is necessary to gather all the information, include managers and employees, and to formulate desired goals and objectives. The information is necessary for defining of task force to be distributed to further implementatio n phases. The second phase is design of Knowledge Management Strategy which helps to design the previous planned goals and objectives. This phase take into account the three aspects of an Organization. They are individual aspects, organizational aspects and technical aspects. The individual aspects include employees participations and their qualifications. The individual aspect helps to gather their perspective to develop the design of Knowledge Management Strategy in the Organization (Geisler and Wickramasinghe 2015). The organizational aspect is related to acceptance of facilities by the management. The project importance is communicated to the employees after the final acceptance through the management. The technical aspects are associated with the technical tools such as software and hardware to support Knowledge Management Strategy. The technology should be selected to suit the needs of employees and should be user-friendly. The third phase is realization of Knowledge Managemen t Strategy which helps in realizing the design of Knowledge Management Strategy. This phase considers the individual, organizational and technical aspects from previous design phase to realize the Knowledge Management Strategy. The technical system is used for implementing Knowledge Management Strategy which helps to promote acceptance of participating employees. The other factor that is usability test is carried out in this phase to analyze different constraints such as learning ability, efficiency, memorability, errors and satisfaction. The usability test is conducted through questionnaire round to analyze and evaluate the suitability of Knowledge Management Strategy. The questionnaire round includes several factors such as system feedback, learning factors and other factors. The result of this phase is then delivered to the next phase where pilot phase is done and finally rollout across the Organization is done. The fifth phase is rollout of Knowledge Management Strategy across t he Organization (Donate and de Pablo 2015). The rollout of Knowledge Management Strategy helps to implement the strategy in the Organization that follows a well-elaborated interaction strategy. The interaction that is followed is taken into account before, in-between and after the rollout process across the Organization (Siadat et al. 2015). The rollout is evaluated against the input factors provided to analyze the goals and objectives are met or not. Finally, the implementation is done with summative evaluation of Knowledge Management Strategy to be continuous and suitable for Organizations business process and users. Organizational Culture (Communities of Practice or Organizational Learning) The organizational culture such as Communities of Practice or Organizational Learning is an important aspect to consider while implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy (Pattinson and Preece 2014). The community of practices will be helpful for Universal Consultancy Company to evaluate the present culture and problems of the Company. The Community of Practice for Universal Consultancy described here is to identify the areas which will help to analyze and evaluate the implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy. The below design may have advantages and disadvantages according to the need of Organization because suggestions are based on the overall description of Organization Culture. Therefore, it is recommended to analyze and evaluate the necessary points required by the Organization. The Community of Practices is designed here through suggestions to develop aspects of Organizational Culture for implementation of Knowledge Management Strategy in Universal Consultancy (Wagner III and Hollenbeck 2014). The first one is design for evolution for Universal Consultancy. The design for evolution should be designed so that evolution of issues fit between Organizational practices and information system. The second one is open a dialogue between inside and outside perspectives. This part shows that managers and technical system should coordinate to work together in an effective way for better decision making. The third one is encouraging and accepting various levels of participation. This part shows that employees should be encouraged for effective participation as they are totally dependent on Decision Support system for making decisions (Power, Sharda and Burstein 2015). The employees should be encouraged to deliver efficiency and effective productivity and they do not gi ve too much emphasis to the system. The fourth one is focus on values in Universal Consultancy. This part shows that Universal Consultancy should reduce the information overload condition generated due to decision support system. The other focus should be on delivery of quality measures through effective participation of managers and employees. The fifth one is coordination among the workforce of Universal Consultancy (Li et al. 2014). This part shows that Universal Consultancy should understand the dynamics and functions of information technology based system for betterment of the Organization. This is because difficulty in understanding of the system will be a major concern for the Organization. The sixth one is identification and planning design for system failures (Frost 2014). This part shows that Universal Consultancy should adopt measures such as risk management systems to prevent system design failures in future. The Community of Practices also contributes to sustain competitive advantage for Universal Consultancy (Kalafatis et al. 2015). Universal Consultancy Company does not include competitive advantage in its concern list. However Organizational culture such as Community of Practices will help the Company to have strong competitive advantage. The sustainability of competitive advantages of Universal Consultancy Company is achieved only when Organizational culture is established.
