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.
Outline:
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 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 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 storyman 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."

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.
Abstract This paper wonders if, given the similarity of all the candidates for U.S. President in both parties, it is time for a third party candidate who has an actual chance of winning rather than just splitting the votes so another candidate can win. The author presents arguments in favor of a major third party including that the parliamentary approach to government in other countries is superior to the two party system in the United States. The paper concludes that a viable third party is impossible not because of the high costs and media support critical in an election but because of the problem of the mindset of the voters who see a third party as only speaking for a niche group.
From the Paper "Second, does America represent a democracy when only two parties are running, and these individuals are chosen by a select few? When anyone else who wants to run does not have a chance of being heard unless he/she has millions of dollars (or backing of well-to-do-supporters) and the media? And when anyone who desires to hold a high position has to have been around long enough to have shared political favors with a number of prominent individuals?"
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."
