The death of nine male career firefighters in their line of duty The death of nine male career firefighters in their line of duty at a commercial furniture showroom was an unfortunate occurrence, which happened due to some dysfunctions. It could be avoided if several factors were improved. The crucial tactical factors that contributed to the death of these nine firefighters were radio communication problems experienced during the firefighting, lack of a central dispatch center for communication of rescue activities involving departments from multiple administrations, inadequate water supply, lack of safety ropes and other exit locators to guide the disoriented firefighters out of the building, and exhaustion of air supply which led to the firefighters running out of air. Radio communication problems were encountered in the incident whereby some mutual help departments lost communication with the municipal dispatch center with their radios. The mutual aid crew was sent to rescue the missing firefighters. Thus, efficient communication was necessary for them to get help if the conditions inside the building needed more personnel. If the fire chief were receiving responses from…
Endangered Animals Annotated Bibliography Allan, J., Watson, J., Di Marco, M., O’Bryan, C., Possingham, H., Atkinson, S., & Venter, (2019). Hotspots of human impact on threatened terrestrial vertebrates. PLOS Biology, 17(3), e3000158. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3000158 Allan et al. argue the best way of conserving the endangered species is through the identification of places where they are mostly found and initiating strategies towards the protection objective. The scholars achieve this research by presenting a global analysis of the cumulated impact of human activities on the threatened species; particularly, population density, pasture lands, croplands, and electric infrastructures. In all the assessed species, the research established that almost one-quarter of the species are impacted, and at least seven percent of them face threats from human activities in their entire lifetime. The information presented in this journal is of average quality, given that it directly illustrates the extent to which endangered species are distributed worldwide and areas where they are most susceptible. However, one shortcoming of this article is its inability to rely on primary data and instead chooses to provide a narrative that does not…

Ethical Paradigms and Decision Models Leaders in community colleges face moral and ethical dilemmas that necessitate the utilization of ethical paradigms, codes of conduct, and models for ethical decision making. The ethical decision model consists of six stages. Stage one involves the identification of ethical problems through recognition of immoral acts and their implication on individuals within an organization. Stage two includes data acquisition from different sources and attentiveness to an individual’s affective response to a breach of ethics. Stage three necessitates the investigation of relevant existing codes and policies related to the issue. Stage four involves the construction of alternative approaches to dilemma resolution. Stage five includes the evaluation of various alternative approaches using existing ethical codes, autonomy, and justice. Step six involves the selection and use of an alternative based on their probable outcome. The multiple ethical paradigms include justice ethics, professional ethics, ethics of care, critique ethics, and local community ethics (Oliver & Hioco, 2012). Ethics of justice upholds the rule of law and utilization of fairness, equity, and justice. Critique ethics identify inequalities between different groups…
