  The Triangle Factory Fire, 1911 On March 25, 1911, there was a historical event of a fire tragedy that broke out at the Triangle Waist Factory in New York City. In about eighteen minutes, the fire had claimed 146 lives. Among the dead were women, girls, and immigrant workers that were employed in the Triangle Waist Factory. Notably, the fire broke out a few moments to conclude the industry operations for the day. After the event, the Triangle Factory Fire tragedy has been a characteristic historic event in New York City. Despite that the fire tragedy caused significant losses to franchisees of the textile industry as well as the entire fraternity; subsequent historic occasions indicate that the fire tragedy was initially preventable.  The impacts of the fire tragedy relate to politicized inhumane decisions that deterred the provision of a conducive working environment that guarantee the safety of workers as well as the assets that give meaning to the daily operations.

Leadership Experiences When you work for an organization as large as the one I am employed by, diversity within a team is a common issue I have experienced. The higher the cultural diversity within a team, the more noticeable the differences are in attitudes and behaviors. The two most common types of diversity I have found in my organization are ethnicity/race, gender, and age. The first type of diversity I have encountered in my professional experience would be age. As stated by Blackman (2017), people of different ages tend to think differently due to different experiences. For example, I am technically a Millennial, so I am more technology savvy and able to assist my co-workers who are from the Baby Boomer and Gen X generations on the latest software that we are using. I also feel that I think more critically and work at a much faster pace than my co-workers who are not from my generation. This can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to working on a team, as I find myself much more…

Affordable Care Act (ACA) Healthcare issues have always been at the center stage of politics in the United States. They include healthcare insurance, Medicare and Medicaid Services, premium cost, healthcare reforms, and healthcare access to underserved and vulnerable populations. Interests in universal healthcare insurance came up in political spheres before the mid-19thcentury, but none of the proposed plans came into effect. It was during Harry S. Truman’s presidency that Congress presented the most notable proposal on universal coverage and its implementation. It was not until the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “Obamacare” in 2010 by President Obama that a significant step was made to achieving universal healthcare insurance. The main goals included reducing the number of uninsured Americans, making healthcare coverage more affordable, and expand access to care. The healthcare policy achieved these goals through amending Medicare, expanding eligibility for Medicaid, providing subsidies for insurance purchase for people of moderate income, creating new market places where individual without the coverage of employers could purchase policies directly…

ARIZONA TUITION IMMIGRANTS The United States faces one of the highest immigration rates in the world currently, with a majority of the immigrants entering the country illegally. The state of Arizona is a borderline state that has illegal immigrants and has come up with a model that considers the effects of immigration on workers, capital owners, and aggregate welfare. In the article, the state of Arizona has different tuition rates that are dependent on whether one is an immigrant, either legal or illegal, or a US citizen. Immigrants have significant effects on a state; for example, the increase in labor means that the real wage rates will decline due to the excess supply of labor compared to the scarce demand for labor. Expanding eligibility requirements for the tuition program means that more immigrants will be able to access higher education, thus increasing their competency in the job market. The US, however, consists mostly of immigrants considering they had an open border in the past, improving the welfare of the source country and destination country. The increase in welfare is a…

Some principles argue that; interpersonal communication is irreversible, involves ethical choices, and it is unavoidable influence the nature of interpersonal communication. This paper aims at understanding how the principles of interpersonal communication affect personal and professional relationships.  The article will further establish the impact of perception and self-concept on interpersonal communication. Interpersonal communication is a mutual meaning among people.  Interaction among people entails figuring out what others’ behavior or words imply or signify rather than a mere exchange of words (Wood, 2016).  Interpersonal communication satisfies diverse individual needs.  Self-actualization and personal growth are among desires fulfilled during interactions          (Wood, 2016). Some principles underpin interpersonal communication: interpersonal communication is irreversible, involves ethical choices, and is unavoidable (Wood, 2016, pp 28-29).. According to Wood (2016), Interpersonal communication is irreversible.  This…
