SQL commands             The first command that I learned was the ‘CREATE’ command. It creates a query. After clicking on it, there are various commands under it. Clicking on the ‘Query Design’ command. It helps in creating a new and blank query in the design view. The ‘View’ command on the left top side of the screen helps in viewing the results in either Datasheet view, SQL view, or design view. Therefore, it prompts the view that the user wants at any given time. The ‘Run’ command helps in viewing the query results. The results come up depending on the query input in the software.

Response to the Film “The Hunting Ground” The film demonstrates the challenges the society is facing regarding matters of sexual harassment and abuse, especially in colleges and universities. Therefore, despite criticism for institutions and society, the laws need to provide mechanisms and methods to control the rate of sexual assaults. The universities and respective administration need to report rape cases to the immediate authorities for respective actions. These need to be done despite considerations of the public image regarding the activities and status of institution in society. The protection of human dignity and right is fundamental as compared to corporate image. Thus, the institutions need to enact laws and policies to communicate the impact of being involved in sexual assaults. The approaches include involving federal authority to investigate and determine the reported cases. By doing so, the institution will provide an opportunity to prosecute victims of sexual assault rather than protecting the individuals. The administrations, to some extent, have a critical role in reducing the cases reported by students and other members of the community. As a result, the systems…
