From the Paper
"In conclusion as stated by Hope, CFOs can transform their roles and for organizations like AHA, it adds greater value (Hope, 2006, page 104). The AHA CFO needs to embrace being a freedom fighter, analyst and adviser, architect of adaptive management, warrior against waste, master of measurement, regulator of risk, and more importantly a champion for change (Hope, 2006, page 3). Nevertheless, there has to be balance for these activities, since the CFO has to focus on activities that increase the marginal value in research and upholds the mission of AHA."

From the Paper
"Bel Canto is a story that focuses on the lives of varied groups within society, each affected by its own social environment. However, as the people within the book are forced by circumstance to come together at a vice presidential mansion, they begin to discover that there is one element that they all have in common - music. It is the love of music and the connection that music has to the soul that ultimately impacts each life profoundly. The primary issue that personally affected me through the book was the hope that continuously existed in the face of the most extreme and horrific circumstances. Two characters in particular exemplify this hope, Roxanne and Mr. Hosokawa. These are individuals that are being held against their will over an extensive period of time."

Why this Organization Interests You?
From the Paper
"A major drawback of the ANA is the membership dues - at $ 255.00 for the Full Membership Dues, some nurse practitioners, especially those in economically depressed areas of the United States, will find the amount steep! Although it is a prestigious organization to be part of, this stature costs a bundle. The ANA have Reduced and Special Dues though but these are for student, unemployed and retired nurses. Another possible disadvantage of joining the ANA is the political agenda they endorse; a particular member or a group of members may not believe or may be against some of the association's political agenda."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the American Medical Association (AMA) first arose as a loose association of medical professionals and scientists in 1847. The writer points out that the group was intended to increase the standards of medical and biological education in North America, but was considered both impractical and utopian by many. The writer then looks at the mission of the organization today and discusses the political action committee's activities. The writer maintains that from Medicare to animal testing to malpractice insure, the AMA and the American Medical Association political action committee, which are, for all intents and purposes, one in the same, have served their beneficiaries as well as possible, through lobbying and outward pressure. The writer concludes that their methods may have brimmed over the line of constitutionality at points, but that should not mar the AMA's record because, as a political action committee, it has done all in its power to legally and persuasively enact legislature to assist America's doctors.
From the Paper
"Current president of the AMA, Ronald M. Davis, gave a speech in 2005, which highlighted the organization's illustrious history more than any political or economic agendas. At Smith Davis's initial meeting, over two hundred and fifty delegates from twenty-eight states voted to elect Nathanial Chapman the organization's first president. His first actions included those that would be deemed necessary by burgeoning doctors; the condemnation of secretive and patent medicine, which robbed business, and the establishment of a code of medical ethics and the world's first Committee on Medical Ethics to enforce the doctrines. By the end of the nineteenth century, the groundwork had been laid for the organization's present political sphere of influence."

From the Paper
"The website for the American Diabetes Association is found at http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp. This site is sponsored by the American diabetes Association, a respected group that provides information on diabetes to sufferers, guidance about testing and treatment, and sponsors the search for cures. The American Diabetes Association was founded in 1940 and remains the nation's leading nonprofit health organization "providing diabetes research, information, and advocacy" (The American Diabetes Association, 2005, About Us, para. 1). Members are made up of both consumers and health care professionals, meaning largely diabetics and their families and medical personnel. There is no advertising on the site, except for links and suggestions to reach other sites with information for diabetics. The closest thing to an ad is the appeal for donations to fund the work."

From the Paper
"American society in recent years offers many examples of what happens when a company or an organization does not follow ethical rules. The need for a process for making ethical decisions in any organization is great. There are a large number of instances where ethical decisions are necessary, and corporations and organizations find that they can get themselves into trouble even when they are trying to be ethical if they do not have a strong and effective procedural structure to guide employees in making such decisions. An ongoing process of ethical decision-making creates an atmosphere in an organization that is beneficial, that contributes more to society, and that helps create an environment in which employees may flourish and do their best."

Differential Association Theory, 2003.
A look at the Differential Association Theory as it relates to crime prevention, especially among juveniles.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by analyzing the historical content in which differential association was created, the various influences attributed to assisting in the development of differential association, as well as some of the people who were instrumental in the development. After the presentation of the initial information about the theory, this paper examines the validity of the theory.
From the Paper
"Differential Association has all of the elements that are essential in eventually preventing the bulk of crime in society today. Edwin Sutherland introduced differential association theory which states that behavior is learned in one?s social environment from other people. By the term differential association, Sutherland meant ?the contents of the patterns presented in association? would differ from the individual to individual (Williams, 1999, p.79). Differential Association is appealing because the theory has simple implications and; if the theory is adopted correctly it will give law enforcement their best tool yet in trying to eliminate delinquency before it ever has a chance to take place."

An overview of the history and influences of the NRA (National Rifle Association).

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the National Rifle Association (NRA) was established in the United States over a hundred and thirty years ago for shooting pistols and rifles as sport. In particular, it looks at how the NRA has celebrated many successes over the years in its efforts to protect gun rights and freedom and how the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action has worked for more than a decade to reform the Gun Control Act of 1968.
From the Paper
"Although the grassroots lobbying organization receives some funding from National Rifle Association member dues, member contributions for the purpose of legislative activity is the group's main source of revenue. There are important regulations and restrictions that govern the NRA's political activities, particularly those relating to fund raising activities. Federal and many of the state election laws order that money used to support candidates for political office be raised separately from the member dues and contributions. They are able to support candidates legally by raising funds from generous NRA member contributions and putting it toward the NRA's political action committee- the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF)."
