Abstract
The paper discusses the potential of many disgruntled ex-employees to perpetrate acts of revenge immediately after their departure from the firm. The paper notes the role of reducing the incentive for such violence by allowing the departing employee to maintain personal dignity throughout that process. The paper then deals with violence by non-employees and explains the requirements of standard access protocol and the need to also secure the external environment immediately adjacent to the workplace.

Disgruntled Employees
Non-Employees

From the Paper
"Deadly violence in the workplace is a phenomenon that grew substantially toward the last few decades of the 20th century, before which it occurred so infrequently that it was completely unheard of in many places. Since several high profile tragedies in recent years, workplace security management has included building safety protocols designed to prevent access by unauthorized individuals to company grounds and facilities (Schmalleger, 2001). In general, concerns about security across the board and intensified in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks as most professional businesses that had not already tightened their security procedures began doing so immediately."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the trend of using personality assessments has increased since the 1960's, making the functionality of a business more operationalized. The paper explains that the prediction of behavior has become a pragmatic approach to finding the perfect candidate for the position available in a company. However, this paper argues that there is no real way to reliably measure the personal development of a person's work traits. Personality measurement modules may help us to understand and promote positive personal qualities, but they will not define behaviors that may become destructive if the employee becomes disgruntled.

From the Paper
""No psychologist whose practice includes psychological evaluation can fail to have noticed that the climate for traditional personality assessment in the United States has changed for the worse" (Acklin, 1996, p. 194). The trend of using personality assessments has increased since the 1960s making the functionality of a business more operationalized. The prediction of behavior has become a pragmatic approach to finding the perfect candidate for the position available in a company.

From the Paper
"Company Security Options
The Department as a system


Whether the typical employee of the insurance company under review understands it or not, his or her safety and security is a vital responsibility of the Security Department of the company, functioning as an integral part of Operations Management. Management, whether it is specifically in the hands of Human Resources or at the very top of the corporate hierarchy, has a duty to safeguard the lives and security of its employees at their work place. This includes not merely keeping intruders from gaining access, but also means providing for any and all unanticipated dangers- from fire, foul weather damage, safety in parking facilities or outdoor lot, and handling the potential dangers from disgruntled employees or customers.


For this reason..."

Abstract
The paper relates that it is often said by disgruntled Canadians that "special interests" control the political agenda of the land. The paper discusses how be it feminist organizations, corporate entities, teachers' unions (or unions more generally), environmental groups or some other lobby, there is almost always the assumption that these players are shaping and re-shaping the national political agenda in ways that disadvantage the millions of Canadians who are not card-carrying, placard-waving members of the aforementioned groups. The research question at the heart of this paper is a simple one: do interest groups, overall, really help Canada and Canadians? After reviewing the research, this writer is convinced that they do, indeed, assist the country and its citizens. Therefore, the thesis to be argued is that, as long as they are carefully monitored, interest groups can educate, involve, and galvanize the public at the same time as they educate, motivate, and assist the government - and make it easier for public policy to be administered. The paper looks at the background of Canadian interest groups, explore how they articulate public concerns, cite the functions they serve and outline the mutually beneficial relationship between government/political actors and special interest organizations. The paper shows how these organizations can do a great deal of good because of their expertise and professional commitment to the task at hand.

Abstract
This paper examines why so many Afro-Americans turned from Christianity to become Black Muslims in America and how the Nation of Islam offered these disgruntled individuals a different way of dealing with discrimination and hate.

From the Paper
"The Nation of Islam offered some African Americans a sharp contrast to the mainstream civil rights movement. Specifically beginning in the late 1920's, and continuing up into the 1960's, blacks living mainly in northern cities across America abandoned many aspects of their previous lives to embrace an organization and ideology with "radical" ways of acting and thinking. Why would a person become a Black Muslim? The answer is found in considering the types of individuals who accepted the Nation and the atmosphere which surrounded them. Anger and frustration can be found in the hearts of many converts to the Nation of Islam. Faced with discrimination and hate, some blacks chose extreme, violent separation over the more readily accepted non-violent call for integration."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of Daniel Clowe's critically-acclaimed graphic novel "Ghost World", and its two protagonists, long-time high school friends and social critics, Enid Coleslaw and Rebecca Doppelmeyer. The paper looks at how this book offers an unflinching, sobering critique of the disgruntlement, underlying hypocrisy, and overall stasis inherent in today's American popular, social, and political culture.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because the airline's needs are in a constant state of flux, the first step the human resources manager must take is to establish a system that allows for a regular evaluation of the ever-changing needs of the industry. The paper then points out that job security is a regular concern of airline employees at any level. Additionally, the paper relates that the three main issues that an airline industry human resources manager faces is the increase in the amount of outsourced jobs, recruiting personnel who are qualified to handle the increased level of technology involved in this industry and handling employee disgruntlements and possible strikes or other union-based actions.

From the Paper
"This idea of outsourcing is not unique to the airline industry and often times do not necessarily mean outsourcing to a computer program. Many of the airline industry's traditional jobs are now being outsourced to private companies. For example, such services as food services, maintenance and even ticketing are being outsourced to private companies that specialize in these services by contractual agreement. This trend clearly effects the airline human resources manager's role in that instead of working to recruit, train and supervise multiple departments internally."

Abstract
The paper discusses employers' psychological advantage over their employees in the area of job security, at a time when when there are massive layoffs in every sector. The paper also discusses how longer hours and averted overtime pay ruins employee morale and shows how executives are only looking out for their own financial gains. The paper then addresses the scenario of a corporate merger, and how it can lead to divisions within the company and disgruntlement amongst employees.

From the Paper
"Corporate culture, now more than ever, is constantly changing because there is so much movement in the business world. Employees do not know if the company that they are working for will go under in the near future, or if their bosses will decide to keep them around for a long time. Employees are also left feeling very insecure about their jobs because they do not trust their superiors. Those in charge are often only worried about their own pocket books and do not seem to care how the employees do financially. This has made corporate culture much different than it used to be. The corporation and the worker used to act together to bring stability to both, but that is no longer the case because there is so much movement internally and externally. There is no longer any trust between workers and their corporations, which has led to many problems within the work environment. Corporate cultures are always changing and the business world is more competitive than ever, so these issues will continue on well into the future."

Abstract
The following paper gives us some insight into Bill Peet's, a children's literature author, his past, influences on his life and career and his feud with Walt Disney. It also examines the themes and styles in the three chosen works.

From the Paper
"Bill Peet is one of America's greatest unsung authors. Although he began his career as a talented story man and sketch artist for Disney, he eventually found the role too constricting and he decided to start a new career publishing his own short stories. At the age of forty-nine Bill Peet was getting his second wind. Using his knowledge from The Jungle Book and other Disney movies, Bill Peet started to create shaping literature. Shaping literature is a story or poem that is meant for young readers, but with adult overtones, to add moral and social character."
