Project Selection and Planning The process of identifying and selecting information system development projects Project identification is a repeatable procedure for authenticating, recording, ranking, and finally approving the candidate projects within an organization. Project selection is a process in which the project idea is assessed helping in the selection of the project with the highest priority. Project identification and selection in information system projects involve four projects. They are identifying the potential development projects, classifying and ranking the projects, selecting the project for development, and Implementation of the chosen project. Identifying potential development projects Organizations have different ways in which they identify their projects. Various members of an organization can conduct the process.

Economic Development in Post- Civil War America Determinants of Economic Growth during the Post-Civil War. According to Goldfield and Bromsen, Post-Civil War presented the American population to significant developmental transformation mainly through robust industrial activities. There was also an introduction of large-scale farming activities involving mechanization and infrastructural construction. These operations further helped big businesses to expand their activities in marginalized sections of the country. As A result, Asian and European immigrants left rural agriculture for white-collar employment in towns. This situation led to the availability of cheap labor for industries, which in turn led to rapid economic growth. However, the gains from this growth benefited white business owners as employees formed labor unions to fight against occupational injustices. The presence of robust industrial activities and mass production of goods and increased employee grievances means that the Post-Civil War influenced America’s strong economic base. Economic Development after the Civil War The end of the civil war introduced the American ecosystem to the industrial revolution. In the presence of cheap raw materials like steel, soil, timber, iron ore, many industries emerged…
U.N. Policies The United Nations is a global corporation founded in 1945 to substitute League of Nations when the second World War ended. The main objective of the U.N. as an organization is to maintain security and peace internationally. More so, the organization helps in achieving cooperation in the world through solving and preventing international glitches of economic, social, political, and humanitarian issues (Ralph 630). The U.N. gets involved in the response of crisis in a comprehensive manner through its principal subsidiary and organization entities such as funds, commissions, programs, and specialized agencies. U.N. respond to natural disasters and human-caused crisis which affects the health, well-being, and safety of either a society or a country. Whereby the geographical crisis varies, it could be international, national, and local. The response of the humanitarian crisis requires a duration of time to cope with the damages inflicted by disasters (Jeong, 1). The nature calamities which require the response of the U.N. include tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. Also, the human-caused crisis examples such as oil spills, armed conflicts, and other emergencies like a…
Analyzing News Reports on the Colorado River Crisis Colorado river is one of the significant streams of North America with its source in the Rocky Mountains. The river drains across two states in Mexico and seven U.S states flowing southwest in Colorado Plateau through the Grand Canyon reaching Lake Mead. The river turns south, entering Mexico towards the Gulf of California. Recently the water level of the Colorado River has significantly dropped due to climate change and human resources usage like irrigation along the river. The study shows that the water shortage from the river would affect Southwest and Arizona (Bergstrom, 2016). More so, the water level of Lake Mead decreases year after year due to less water supply from the Colorado River. The study gets carried out concerning the lake Mead water decrease showing various effects to all beneficiaries of the water supply. This paper analyzes news reports regarding the Colorado river water crisis and anticipated impact due to the water shortage. Tony Davis uses scientific information retrieved from four master’s students who had graduated from the University of…

Introduction Given the intricacies of crises that the Haddonfield county probation department is facing, the organization requires a strategic response plan that advocates the involvement of all multiple organization players, above and beyond the short-term emergency response tactic. Mitigating the impact of the crises on the overall organization strategy calls for the need for an established framework for coordinated action for an effective result. Whereas the need to conduct situation analysis will establish the possibility of a constitutional crisis and help develop a suitable response tactic for organization survival and damage reputation (Ashari et al., 2017). How well the department of probation responses to the issue of staff misconduct complications, organization’s staffing issues, and current budgetary problems will test the organization’s resolute capacity to provide the appropriate mitigation strategies to protect the organization’s mandate of serving the juvenile offenders. Furthermore, as a department, we will embark on concentrate on improving the views of society when it comes to the department interaction with crime and law enforcement, rather than on the criminal justice…
Question: Economics Question 1: There are three main types of unemployment that are frictional, structural, and cynical unemployment. These types are not explicitly observable and may also overlap, but they offer a valuable way of understanding unemployment. Frictional unemployment happens as workers switch job opportunities on the labor market and as individuals migrate into and out of the labor force. Worker mobility is essential for a competitive labor market which seeks to achieve effective labor distribution throughout the economy. This form of unemployment is generally of shorter. Frictional unemployment is expected to arise at all stages of the economic cycle and as with structural unemployment income and inflation are not impacted. Structural unemployment happens when the available jobs do not match with the people seeking employment. Workers may become unemployed if they work in businesses that decline in size or have skills that could be replaced as a consequence of technical advancements on a wide scale. They may consider it challenging to find jobs in another sector, and will decide to learn new skills or relocate to an area…
Hunger All through the ages, worldwide appetite has been a steady issue. This issue should have the choice of viability. Hunger is realized by various events, including the poverty trap, disastrous occasions, war, poor rustic establishment, and over-abuse of nature. The desperation trap is the example of poverty that can begin from a confined eating routine and progress to birthing a newborn child that is malnourished. Agriculture is the backbone of every country. As my program, I will teach every individual the essence of practicing good agriculture. The best way to dispense with world craving and neediness is to make horticulture all the more earth economical. Protection rehearses, for example, crop broadening, trickle or sprinkler water system, zero-soil culturing, and developing more yields that depend less on nitrogen, are critical to adjusting to environmental change and settling hunger. Proper practice of these agricultural practices ensures there is a continuous flow of food to the hunger strike areas. Crop rotation as one of the farming rehearses helps with battling against the forces of crumbling. Rotating crops helps with improving soil security…
SHOCK OF THE ANTHROPOCENE Section A Artificial fertilizers have disturbed the cycle of nitrogen by leading to the release of nitrous oxide, which is known to be the most powerful greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The artificial fertilizers have also led to the excess runoff of nitrogen in the water, therefore, leading to the destruction of the ecosystem. Before 1900, ammonia was perfected by the German chemicals and it was termed to be the most important since nitrogen was an important element in explosives and German had been stopped from acquiring supplies from Peru and Chile. Section B: question 2 Agent Orange is a herbicide which us army used to spray after noting the inability of incent bombs and napalms to destroy the forests with humid Vietnamese. It is therefore estimated that about 70 million litres of agent orange where sprayed in the UK between the years of 1961 and 1971 containing 40% of Vietnam’s bare land though the country lost 23% of its forest cover. By the use of agent orange herbicides, us army carried aerial missions to induce…
Selfish Impulse Human beings have different personalities, traits, and beliefs. Besides, human beings have conflicting impulses. Psychologists research to explain various human behaviours. For instance, there have been mixed reactions, regarding the actions that an individual would adopt if they found themselves present in an area where a building catches fire. Whereas some people would rush into the building immediately in efforts to save people trapped therein, other people would stand far with no intention of getting close to the building. This situation is among the many issues that psychologists intend to explore. Further, the situation, as mentioned above, would create a question on whether human beings are intuitively selfish or cooperative. This paper thus will give a detailed explanation of how psychologists view selfish impulse. The View of Psychologists The most prevailing thought and assumption over the years have been human nature is primarily negative. For instance, in the doctrine of original sin, Augustine proclaims that all individuals are born selfish and broken, which can be undone through divine intervention (Ward, 2012). Another example is Hobbes, who…
