Christopher Ordaz My name is Christopher Ordaz; I am in my second year at Cedar Valley College. Hobbies are the activities we engage in to feel satisfaction, and, in other instances, activities we derive joy from. My hobbies include playing occasional multiplayer video games with my friends, going out on the weekend, and taking hikes. Also, I love taking trips around the country, visiting new interesting sites such as national parks. Besides all the fun activities I engage in, what I would like to do is to take some time right after college ends to travel the world. One of the reasons I want to travel soon after college is because traveling is a hobby that I enjoy. It provides opportunities to create lasting memories and connections or friendships. I also want to travel because traveling will make me more knowledgeable and culturally diverse in preparation for the job market. However, my parents and some of my friends are against the idea of arguing that it will be an expensive endeavor, and I have no means to pay for it.…
the development of common law and statutory law Module 1 Module one discussed the development of common law and statutory law. It also highlighted the relationship between the legislature and the law-making process. Common law is the body of legal rules that are derived from the decisions made by the judges while ruling on a case (Friedman & Hayden, 2017). Under stare decisis (the doctrine judges consider when making a universal law), familiar law judges must consider prior decisions that are similar and base their judgments on the precedent. If this is not done, then the choices will likely be overruled later on in the legal process. An example is when the court decided that people who have lived together for over ten years have the right to share their assets. Statutory laws, on the other hand, is a body of law that is written and passed by a body legislature (Friedman & Hayden, 2017). Examples include criminal codes, tax laws, company formation regulations, and traffic regulations. A proposal to change or repeal an existing law or make a new…
. Explain the Impacts of Faith on Economic behavior “Life should be great, rather than long”. The words of Ambedkar are a genuine reflection of the kind of impression religion leaves on the believers. Ideally, the human race is a religious group. As much as there is a small percentage that does not believe in any supreme being, the rest of the people believe in a different religion. Since man began living in social groups, the aspect of faith has always been an integral part of his community. Over the years, people have grown to identify with different religions depending on their beliefs and the faith of their ancestors. Following this, many scholars have explored the role of religion in shaping the behavior and culture of human beings. It has, however, come to the attention of many scholars that the impact that religion has on the economy is not a field that has been explored to its exhaustiveness. The few that have evaluated this relationship has, however, established that religion has a significant impact on the economy of the believers.…
Persistent racial discrimination in the workplace Functionalism is very critical as it addresses constituent elements of the society that includes the institutions, customs, norms, and relevant traditions. In the early 90s, functionalism was highly criticized due to the lack of its capacity to account for social change or conflict and the structural contradictions. It was also condemned for ignoring some systematic inequalities such as class, gender, and race, which are the leading cause of conflict and tension in society. According to sociologist Michael Omi, the structural-functionalist framework is generally supposed to take the unifying role of culture and precisely the white man’s values in resolving and regulating conflicts. From this viewpoint, members of the society are identified as bounded, coherent, and having fundamental relations constructs that operate as an organism with all their different parts working together to realize a social equilibrium. Persistent racial discrimination in the workplace and other related social domains has resulted in an interest in the possible social conflict between different members of society. Unlike in the pre-colonial era, when discrimination and prejudice were widespread and…
Analysis of contracts under contract law Residential house lease If the landlord has refused to make repairs even after receiving warnings from the tenants, other steps will help the tenant receive ramifications or get the repairs to their home conducted. One way of getting the landlord to fix the leak on the roof and the mold is rent withholding or rent strikes where a tenant withholds some or all of the rent. As tenants, Juan has the right to withhold the rent since landlords must provide tenants with habitable and safe housing on the warranty of habitability under the Housing stability and tenant protection act of 2019. If the landlord knowingly refuses to fix issues within the property that significantly affects the quality of life of the tenants in the property, they are in violation of the warranty of habitability. The law is unclear on how long and how much of the rent a tenant can withhold. However, it is essential to ensure that the landlord knows that the rent is being withheld until the repairs are made. Tenants have…

The Concept of Organizational Culture All organizations are established on a specific culture that guides how they carry out their operations and processes such as logistics, public relations, production, marketing, customer relationships, and services. In my thinking, I concur with the idea that organizational culture is a fundamental ingredient in the strategic control within an entity. To this end, there is a sense in which organizations must take proper management of their established culture in a coherent manner and full conformity with organizational goals. Essentially, this will allow the company/organization to achieve its desired ends and lessen uncertainties that may hinder the organization’s performance (Campbell, 2000). Organizational culture gives immense support towards the execution of an organization’s strategic goals as well as the implementation of corporate plans. For this reason, there is a need to continually conduct an assessment of the organization’s culture just to ensure that things are in check for the success of the business. It is not easy to manage organizational culture single-handedly. It requires a collective effort of all personnel in the organization, including employees, stakeholders,…
Modes of Communication The key intention of this memorandum is to present comprehensive modes of communication that would assist in obtaining direct feedback from peers and subordinates about any raised issue. The objective of the communication strategy is to illustrate the leadership style applied in Mexico, and if there exists miscommunication on how managers typically conduct themselves. The feedback may not be received directly due to the mode of communication applied; there is a need to put into consideration the trial of other various techniques of communicating. Communication should be conducted differently or not, as usual, to come up with the intended results. Writing is my preferred mode of communication. Existing methods of communication such as private and weekly meetings have become too prevalent, and individuals are not ready to give feedback through them may be due to fear, etc. Thus, writing will be suitable as an individual will express his/her views freely and widely. A decision should be made that would enhance positive communication within the firm; this will make sure that all members come back to the schedule.…
Reasons for Continuance of discrimination Introduction Numerous news stories touching on racial discrimination in Canada have often angered groups and provoked government response. From asking children to remove their religious headdress to stopping members of minority communities, Canada is rife with racial discrimination. The is a thin line between overt and covert discrimination. Most discrimination meted against blacks is covert, and often known through reports by government agencies and non-governmental organizations. Most black people suffer discrimination on varied platforms from varied individuals and groups. The perpetuation of the discrimination is helped by social dynamics. Racial discrimination of blacks in Canada persists because of institutionalized or normalized discrimination, largely popularized cases of discrimination, and the tendency to seek and stick to black and African identities. Reasons for Continuance of discrimination Many people are at the receiving end of discrimination in Canada. About 23 percent of the people in Canada are victims of discrimination (Godley, 2018: 111). Discrimination based on race is one of the most prevalent discrimination and perhaps the indicator of prevalence. The most discriminated groups are blacks, Asians, and…
