This third stage is often called “Honeymoon,” where the victim adjusts with his bad conduct. Besides, the victim gets forgiven in the honeymoon stage, and afterward, the cycle begins again. The victims begin to feel that the violence is their fault as this cycle goes on. The victim gets deemed helpless as she takes charge of her abuse.

Article Review on ongoing conflict between U.S technology companies and sovereign states In her article, Stephanie Hare explores the ongoing conflict between U.S technology companies and sovereign states as far as the control and access of consumer data is concerned. Most importantly, the article argues that the battle between these entities is preventing them from working together to address the greater enemies in a way that benefits both sides (Hare 550). The first section of this article explores the problem of the wicked problem of data protection. The article ends by exploring how both the U.S technology companies and foreign countries can benefit from increased cooperation between the two entities. Both the foreign sovereign states and U.S technology companies have justifiable reasons for seeking total control over the data provided by internet users. States can use this data to thwart and prosecute cybercrimes and terrorism.

Guidelines to resolve the conflict of responsibility                 Any counselor has a primary responsibility to promote the welfare of their clients and ensure that the client’s dignity is preserved during the counseling. The counseling profession ethics requires the therapist to fulfill other parties’ responsibilities as well. Other parties, in this case, include the client’s family members, the institution he/she is working from, the court or even a working colleague. In a situation whereby the counselor is faced with a dilemma and cannot easily resolve the conflict of responsibilities that the case they are handling come with, client’s confidentiality is always at risk and to come up with a decision that doesn’t violate the client’s confidentiality is always the problem.

In such an occasion it’s…

Conflict resolution is an essential element in negotiation for all parties to participate fully and reach a consensus. Environmental organizations deal with numerous stakeholders such as government, local communities, employees, and other interested parties who might express conflicting interests.  However, for the organization to operate smoothly and engage all parties in a collective goal, it must resolve any existing disputes. Reconciliation is a critical aspect of a negotiation that enhances satisfaction among parties in question. For instance, an organization pursuing a conservation project on resources shared by two conflicting communities may need to restore order and harmony before proceeding with negotiations on sharing its proceeds.

In such instances, the organization might determine who is right through addressing geographical boundaries. However, the most effective method should the lower probability of dispute recurrence, incur minimum transaction…

Criminology uses theory to come up with explanations as to why crime exists and the process through which crime develops among individuals. The theory is defined differently depending on the circumstance at hand, and there are contentious definitions. The general definition of theory in everyday use is that theory involves a set of untested principles that try to explain phenomena without evidential backing. However, theory in scientific aspects such as criminology involves a set of tested and substantiated explanation for the occurrence and existence of various phenomena such as crime.
