In December of 1867, "the House defeated an impeachment resolution" (Carlton, 423), but when Johnson dismissed Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, this was seen as "a deliberate breach of the Tenure of Office Act" which brought new charges against him. However, Johnson ended up serving out his term as President while under much scorn and condemnation. Thus, Johnson failed to live up to Lincoln's ideals and entirely shrugged off all of the responsibility which he had inherited.
On April 12, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office after a long illness. His death "stunned the nation and not since the death of Lincoln... had there been such evidence of grief for the loss of a national leader" (radley, 364). This was a time of great concern, for the Vice President, Harry S. Truman, was little known to the American public who "openly wondered whether Truman could master the complex…...

Marketing Vice President Roger Smith angrily states: "I am the customer." As such, he expected the contractor to follow his request. What are the merits of Mr. Smith's assertion? To what extent is the contractor obliged to do what the customer orders?
First, Mr. Smith's assertions that he is the customer are non-meritorious. Smith is not involved in the contract in any individual capacity. XYZ Company is the customer. It does not appear that Smith was a signatory to the contract, and there is nothing in the hypothetical scenario to suggest that the contract gave Smith any type of decision-making authority or ability to direct the work of Computer Software Solution, Inc. Instead, given that McMahon was XYZ's project leader and engaged in all of the contracting duties, one imagines that McMahon was the signatory on the contract. The contract should have specified a contact point for direction from XYZ Company,…...

Fair Labor Standards Act
Vice President of EatNGas Inc.
It has come to the attention of the human resources department that EatNGas is potentially in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is a federal offense.
FLSA was founded in 1938 and established a standard for minimum wage, time-and-a-half for overtime, and child labor restrictions. Besides a few exempt employees which are protected in other ways, employers must comply to these laws for the protection of their employees (Grossman, n.d.).
The assistant manager position at EatNGas works fifty to sixty hours per work week and is exempt from overtime rates in exchange for a one dollar per hour raise. This is a violation of FLSA in the following ways:
FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid overtime at one and one-half of their regular rate for all hours worked over forty hours in one work week (Department of Labor,…...

Teamwork should be considered the highest priority. Assembling Swenson, yan and Samuels in a team context is a good first step towards mitigating the problems within the hospital. If these three personnel members can view themselves as a team, whose collective work benefits the hospital and its reputation, individualism and prejudice will no longer have a role in their work ethic. egular team meetings will promote effective communication and allow them to discuss problems in an open and honest manner. Conflicts that may arise from each team member being in charge of certain departments can be mitigated by rotating these responsibilities on a weekly or monthly basis. This will also promote a better mutual understanding of the challenges faced by each team member.
In conclusion, the problem and its solution can be explicated by means of a question and answer sequence, as follows:

A hazard is anything within food, which may cause harm to customers. This may include bacteria, viruses or foreign bodies, which might make a person ill or cause physical injury such as a broken tooth or cut lip. In addition to these, other food hazards include chemicals and heavy metals that may contaminate food products from time to time.
This does not, however, include people who become ill because they have an allergic reaction to a certain type of food, which is perfectly safe for the majority of people to eat. It is important to provide accurate information regarding ingredient used in products, to allow patrons with allergies to make their own decisions as to what they can and cannot eat (HCAAP Manual Plan, 2011).
Food hazards can be divided into four different categories:
Microbiological hazards such as bacteria, viruses, molds, that contaminate, multiply, or are naturally present in foods.

Finally, Mr. Gore shows an image of earth that was made by a friend of his - all of the experts in the film are friends of Mr. Gore. The image was, again, made over a period of years and shows all the geographic locations of the earth. This is important because it segues into Mr. Gore's new direction of rhetoric; a story about two teachers, one he liked very much, the other not so well. Now, this explanation of his impression, his like or dislike of these teachers is intended to accomplish several things in the connection between Mr. Gore and his audience.

Federal Campaign Contributions
Over the last several years, this issue of campaign finance has been increasingly brought to the forefront. This is because the influences of the affluent and special interests in the field of politics have become more perverse. However, the issue of the involvement of special interests in elections has been a major challenge (with the founding fathers warning about how this is a threat to democracy). ("The Presidential Election")
ecently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that limits placed on campaign contributions (i.e. soft money) are unconstitutional. This has opened the flood gates for many different groups to establish political action committees (PACs) that will provide unlimited donations to candidates. This is going directly against the very laws which are designed to limit the influence of the special interests. As, there is a patchwork of regulations that are not supported by: consistent rulings from the courts. Instead, a select amount…...

Joe Biden: A Profile
Joe Biden’s empathy and concern for the American public is reflected in the fact he has served in positions of political leadership for more than a half century (Glueck, 2019). Vice President Biden served in the senate for decades beforehand, and endured tremendous personal tragedies over the course of his life, including losing his first wife and infant daughter in a horrific car accent (Glueck, 2019). One of his sons died of brain cancer, and another son grappled with addiction (Glueck, 2019). This has fostered empathy in the candidate, as reflected in his stance on healthcare, including expanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Biden has often cited his early personal experiences with health-related tragedies as the reason why he…...

Market Share Issues re: Makita
Mr. Galli:
Per your request, we have done an analysis on the market share for Professional Tradesman tools between Black and Decker and Makita Tools. While B&D holds a substantial amount of market share in the portable power tools, Professional-Industrial and Consumer segments, a critical issue is the low comparative share in the fastest growing market, that of the Professional-Tradesman (See Figure 1). While B&D has remained a clear market leader for consumers, the lower than average perception of the product line by Professional-Tradesmen has lowered the share to 9%, with Makita, relatively new to the arena, at a solid 50%.
Demographically and psychographically, the buying behaviors of the tradesmen show that they spend an average of $1,000/annum on tools, usually replacing a broken or outdated model. This is a major purchase for this segment,…...

Atzerodt also made a statement claiming knowledge of a Confederate plot to bomb the White House. The Union's failed raid on Richmond was also approved by Lincoln, and it was later believed that he ordered the death of Jeff Davis in a strategy to end the war. Such speculations were extremely damaging for the strength of the government, and similar conspiracy theories fascinate historians to this day. In this, at least one part of ooth's ideal was realized: government weakness. This however did not result in a revival for the South, which was in fact the ultimate aim.
In conclusion, Lincoln's death meant that his attempts at countrywide reform were immediately nullified. Without his leadership, and in concomitance with the many conspiracy theories at the time, the government was unable to carry further such work. The country was not nearly strong enough to benefit from the good work done by…...

George H.W. Bush
George Herbert Walker Bush, possibly the most underestimated president of recent times, is my choice for the fifth spot. It is perhaps understandable why Bush Sr. is often excluded from most people's list of "great" U.S. Presidents; unlike "activist" presidents such as Franklin oosevelt or his predecessor, onald eagan, Bush carried out his job in a low-key manner but did his job competently. This is precisely why I have chosen him as one of the top five presidents because a president's job, in the words of Bush Sr. himself, does not always involve, "high drama, and the sound of trumpets" (Quoted by ose, 1991, p. 307)
Bush Sr. became the President after having served the country in various positions such as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and to China, chair of the epublican National Committee, head of the CIA, and vice-president in the eagan administration for eight…...

Title and Cultural Identity: A Reflection and a Shaping Force

It is a potent reflection of an individual's cultural identity while simultaneously shaping and influencing its evolution.
