Shoulder Tap Crime

Most states make it a crime to purchase alcohol for a minor, sometimes called the shoulder tap crime, based on the typical manner a request by a minor for an adult to buy alcohol occurs. These crimes generally do not require proof that the defendant knew the person was underage.

• Should the same strict liability apply to a host of a party that is attended by both adults and minors, where alcohol at the private party is furnished to both?
• Should a host be able to offer evidence that he reasonably believed the minor was old enough to drink?
• Would it help your case if the jurisdiction made such a defense available to bars and liquor stores that required buyers to provide proof of age?

Use the following case to help guide your analysis:

Your analysis should be a minimum of two pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation guidelines

 

You are a newly hired HR professional now working for Jeans, Inc. Jeans does not have a formal wage structure, rate ranges and does not use compensable factors. Wages are basically set on prevailing wages in surrounding communities coupled with some attempt for internal equity among workers.

 

Jeans does not participate in formal pay surveys. Instead, the President’s Assistant routinely looks over online job openings and conducts informal surveys among her friends in local organizations.  Jeans has always followed a policy of paying employees about 10% above what the Assistant feels are the prevailing rates. She thinks this reduces turnover and fosters employee loyalty. The practice is to pay men about 20% more than women for the same job. The Assistant explains, “When we hire males, they have families, and they are stronger and can work harder for longer hours.”

 

1.   Compare and contrast the following methods of job evaluation: ranking, classification, factor comparison and point method. Which method (if any) do you recommend for the Jeans company? Why? 

 

2.   Is the Jeans company to a point where it should set up a formal salary structure based on a complete job evaluation? Why? 

 

3.   Is the policy of paying 10% more than the prevailing rates a sound one, and how could it be determined?

 

4.   What would you do now with respect to a pay plan process at Jeans? Why? 

Due Week 2 and worth 200 points

DQ 1: After viewing The Crisis of Credit Visualized video, respond to each of the following:

• • How could government regulations have prevented or mitigated the credit crisis of 2008?
  • Discuss whether too much governmental regulation of business or too little governmental regulation of business presents the greater danger to:
    • the greater good
    • business

DQ 2: Some argue that government needs to increase its regulation of business for the good of society as a whole. Others believe that the marketplace is self-regulating and that government intervention through needless regulation places an unfair, costly burden on businesses in general and on small businesses in par­ticular. What role do you believe government regulation should play to ensure ethical conduct by businesses? How do different political viewpoints potentially shape the answer to this question?

PART 1  of the Research Paper requires students to submit an Annotated Bibliography. The Annotated Bibliography must include a minimum of eight scholarly resources that the student plans to utilize in the Research Paper. Each resource must be formatted per APA (6th ed.) guidelines and include a brief description of the information included in the resource, as well as why it is relevant to the Research Paper.

our efforts with MLD Hospital have paid off. The corporation has hired SMP and your staff to provide supply chain management consulting services. Your team has begun analyzing the existing processes, and you have been tasked with developing the purchasing policies and procedures with focus on ethics in the supply chain.

Remember: From a supply chain management perspective, a company produces services or products. Clearly, MLD Hospital produces a service. This means that sourcing analysis must consider the raw materials necessary for producing this service (e.g., bandages, needles, blood, and medical equipment).

Using course materials and other resources, develop a paper for the hospital management consisting of the following sections:

1. Discuss the importance of identifying the best suppliers by explaining the impact of source selection on supply chain performance.
2. In conjunction with number 1, discuss whether the hospital will insource or outsource its sourcing needs.
3. Develop a high-level ethics policy for the purchasing department at MLD Hospital, identifying general responsibilities and prohibited behaviors

With regards to risk-response planning, there are four (4) responses to negative risks that an organization may pursue: avoid, transfer, mitigate, and accept. Develop an original and unique scenario to describe and contrast each of these responses.

 

 

 

 

 

2-From the selected e-Activity article, describe in detail the way in which the malware was utilized to steal data or gain privileged remote access to a computer or network. Suppose you were an IT Security professional working at the attacked business, and detail the security controls that you would consider putting into practice that would help to prevent this and similar types of malware attacks moving forward.

 

 

 

 

 

“Choosing the Appropriate Server Monitoring Tools” 

 

1-From the e-Activity, choose the two (2) performance counters you consider most important to monitor regularly, and predict two (2) critical issues that can occur for each if they aren’t. Provide support for each of your predictions.

 

 

 

2-Differentiate between the conditions that would be appropriate for implementing agent monitoring and the conditions under which agentless monitoring would be a better choice. Provide at least two (2) specific examples that illustrate the major differences between the two (2).

 

 

 

 

 

“BitLocker Encryption and the Encrypted Hard Drive Feature” 

 

 

 

1-To offset the drawbacks commonly found in BitLocker encryption, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 include an Encrypted Hard Drive (EHD) feature to enhance BitLocker’s functionality.  Choose the EHD benefit you believe provides the biggest improvement over basic BitLocker encryption and management. Provide justification for your response.

 

 

 

 

 

2-Give your opinion of whether or not there is any possible downside, other than greater cost, to using the EHD feature to enhance BitLocker functionality. Justify whether the enhancement can be worth the extra cost, regardless of any possible downsides you may have noted. Support your opinion with at least one (1) specific example that demonstrates EHD’s worth or lack thereof.

 

 

 

“Security Administration and Access Control” 

 

 

 

1-From the e-Activity, summarize the ethical dilemma, and develop a plan in which you would mitigate the vulnerability.

 

 

 

 

 

2-Compare and contrast physical access controls and logical access controls. Further explain in what ways both physical and logical access controls are related to implementing a security policy.
