enactment of the Ebola Eradication Act of 2019 Senator Menendez in 2019 called upon his colleagues to support the enactment of the Ebola Eradication Act of 2019 after the Ebola outbreak in Congo (Galford, 2019). The Act required the United States to provide all the necessary resources and tools to confront the epidemic and prevent it from spreading. According to the Senator, the US needs to engage in multi-sectoral, multifaceted international response program to ensure the issue is put under control (Galford, 2019). The Act will ultimately save lives as it will prevent Ebola from reaching the shores of the US as it has done before. The bill was introduced in Senate in May 2019, and a report related to the law was drafted taking consideration of all the facts associated with the issue. In any case, concerning a bill, the sponsors are expected to get enough support in the Senate to ensure the bill is passed. The bills are then referred to by the concerned committees. For instance, the Ebola Eradication Act of 2019 was introduced to the house…

Qualitative and quantitative methods Qualitative and quantitative methods comprise two broad classes of research methods. The selection of a research method depends on the researcher`s project and personal skills and knowledge in utilizing each research method. These methods are critical in collecting and analyzing data necessary to complete a research project. While most people think these two methods can be used interchangeably, they differ from one another. In a nutshell, qualitative and quantitative methods can be combined to complete a single research project. Quantitative is data-driven to prove facts and conclusions, while qualitative methods generate non-numerical data intended for the project. In essence, these two research methods are distinguishable from one another by many factors. Qualitative research methods are useful in collecting data for describing the topic rather than measuring it. Qualitative research questions are unstructured and help the researcher dive deeper into the research project. The qualitative questions further help the researcher articulate people`s opinions, ideas, reasoning, and attitude towards the entire research topic (McLeod, 2019). In qualitative methods, information is presented in words, language, and pictures. Numbers are…

Cultural referents in fictional works Cultural referents are a common feature in fictional works. They are used to help readers to accord character-specific personality traits and associate them with a unique socio-economic background. The referents use dialects and languages that enable readers to identify the social levels where they belong quickly. They are also used in television commercials and billboards to advertise products because they attract people who identify with them. However, these referents may be used to demean a particular culture, such as the popular Aunt Jemima, who demeans the African American women society. The study of other popular cultural referents is instrumental in identifying how they are used to demean the backgrounds associated with them. Baartman, from the famous French video, venus Noire, is an example of a destructive cultural referent. The film portrays the African-American woman as a valueless object that criminals, merchants, and anthropologists purchase for their personal use. Baartman does not have a personality. She is something that her owners use to extend all things they have imagined that a free human being would not…

 integrative negotiation is effective than distributive bargaining Negotiation is a process that occurs daily, either consciously or subconsciously. Most people are never aware that they are in a negotiation process. For those who are knowledgeable, they either use integrative or distributive negotiation methods. Integrative negotiation permits each party to leave the negotiating table with a feeling of victory (mutual agreement). Distributive bargaining, on the other hand, results in one party becoming a loser. Having experienced both negotiation processes, I argue that integrative negotiation is effective than distributive bargaining. However, in conflict situations, coming into a mutual agreement can be difficult because the parties involve might never agree. Most people believe that negotiation is a method that is used in professional or business settings, but it can also occur in informal situations. Before attending a negotiation class, I believed that I did not have to negotiate until I was old enough to do so. However, after taking a negotiation course, I have realized that I have been involved in several negotiation situations in my life. Some of these experiences include; deciding…

Monitoring of employees ethical concerns The privacy of employees at their workplaces has become a controversial problem in managing human resource. The advancement of electronic monitoring systems has stimulated the issue of employee privacy. The use of computerization in the workplace has enabled most employers to track the activities of their employees in the quest to evaluate their effectiveness and minimize wasting time on off-work activities (Mishra & Crampton, 1998). Several monitoring systems have been applied in the modern workplace for varying reasons. Some methods are used to monitor the accuracy and speed of workers while other systems are set in place to control employee theft. Besides, some systems are installed to uphold safety and even spying in some cases. These monitoring systems have been set in place to eavesdrop and confirm locations of employees. Even though employee monitoring has always been in place to track inventory, input and general productivity, the supervision methods and the limits of the accessible information has changed in recent years. Employers main aim is to benefit from the maximization of employee input at work.…

“Untitled” Candy Portrait (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) by Felix Gonzalez-Torres Introduction Felix Gonzalez Untitled art that depicts a pile of candy (portrait of Ross in L.A.) is an example of the 19 candy portraits that remained untitled by the artist. In the case of the art installation in Ross in Los Angeles, the candies are from varied colors, but one essential aspect is that the sweets indicate the white, red, and blue colors reminiscent to the colors of the U.S. flags. Several discussions have pointed out to the fact that candy art installation symbolizes the life of Felix and that of his boyfriend (Spector, 1996). The candies are always piled up to reflect the weight of an overweight person. However, since people often pick the candies as much as they want, the weight gradually reduces, making it lose its biomass at a faster rate. Based on Doyle (2013), the essay would examine several aspects of the art. These aspects include difficulty in understanding art, intimacy, and objectivity. Analysis The experience with the work was mixed and perplexing. Felix’s presentation…

Cloud policy 1. Overview Cloud policy is a system of principles that provide guidelines on cloud use in the Company. The cloud guidelines are mainly implemented in an organization to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the Company’s information (Srikanth et al.,2018). Companies use cloud policies for various reasons such as secure network, manage finance, optimization of costs, and also to manage performance it the organization. Purpose The aim of implementing this cloud policy is to ensure security management in the Company. The cloud policy purposes of highlighting the authorities responsible for network systems. The Company recognizes this cloud policy as the guideline to secure its data from malpractices such as breaching (Demilo et al.,2017). The cloud gives strategies for handling the Company’s information and roles associated with the task of network security. Scope The policy applies to all employees in the Company and the departments in the Company. The system also covers all cloud computing providing various services to consumers (Hemmings, Srinivasan & Swire,2019). Such services include infrastructure-as-a-service, software-as-a-service, and platform –as –a service 4. Policy 4.1Train employees on…

Robotics and Security Networked robotics has helped in carrying out complicated tasks in cloud computing. Networking robots have reinforced cloud computations associated with traditional robots. Allowing robots to access the internet has brought significant benefits to robots, for instance, improved storage and calculations (Vilches et al., 2018). Due to the gained advantages, networked robots are applicable in several areas, such as disaster management. Allowing internet accessibility to robots provides a means for knowledge sharing through different platforms. the increase speedy in solving complex problems is one key benefit associated with networked robots Allowing robots access network have more meaning to security today. Although networked robotics comprehends the reduction of mobility, it also is seen to increase security costs. The networked robotics can be critical to adequate security in cloud computing if the robots are adequately trained to handle specific computations tasks. Training robots will increase their capacity to secure services through their ability to navigate, mapping, and processing commands from individuals (Dieber et al., 2017). With the benefits accrued from networking robots, many individuals focus on training robots for which…

Course Reflection Physical security is essential when it comes to property protection, and thus is inevitable to escape it when implementing security policies. Incorporating physical security helps in reducing vulnerabilities of property od data access. Therefore,physical security adds extra protection to assets being protected and reduces the chances of intruders to access security systems. In this course, I learned several things concerned with security policies. Thus have been able to understand the policy framework for security and governance of information (da Silva et al.,2015). It is through the course I learned about security policies, and now I believe I have the best understanding of the process of mitigating risks through security policy approaches. However,through the course, I discovered compliance with security policies and physical barriers are relevant insights into security. Compliance with security policies is essential to ensure information systems remain safe. By complying with these policies, one can understand their roles and responsibilities towards the security of information systems. Besides that, meeting security policies enables employees to feel much comfortable in their positions and can perform their duties efficiently.…

Cloud computing perspective Cloud computing perspective, whether the cloud provider or cloud consumers, is critical to ensure quality services in computing. The cloud provider perspective can either be internal or external, and each focuses on a specific area to provide quality services. On the other side, the cloud consumer perspective focus on customer concerns during the use of the service. Cloud provider and cloud consumer perspectives care help in various ways. First,both views can facilitate the exchange of ideas (Opara-Martins, Sahandi & Tian,2016). Cloud providers are capable of understanding how consumers think about particular computing services. Therefore, cloud providers understand what consumers look at the services offered and also learn their expectations on cloud services. Additionally, the cloud providers understand the consumer preference towards a specific cloud provider (Di Modica & Tomarchio,2015). Through cloud providers and cloud, the consumer can help improve the design structure of a cloud computing service. Both perspectives are essential in cloud computing. Mainly, it is because they focus on developing and ensuring service provision to users.     References Di Modica, G., & Tomarchio, O.…
