scuss new legislation as it relates to HR? Are there new laws which need to be develop? In what area and what would the impact be?

2:New legislations and Human Resource Management is an ongoing thing as we evolve as a society and the business world is now global. Some of the more recent laws concern sexual harassment, that might come from a fellow coworker or a manager or owner of a business. There needs to be a culture of anti sexual harrasment established in company’s. Company’s need to make sure that there is a policy and a chain of command to follow in case of an incident. If not the company and individual involved is leaving themselves open for a law suit. I think there should be laws on making sure that not only is the work force diverse but also the key areas of management.

3:Human Resource management must abide by federal Laws as to employee

human rights employee race color or religion, gender can not be tolerated.  Human Resources must assure the work climate is free from sexual harassment. Office policy should be included in the employees orientation.  An employer must not discriminate  an potential candidate for being pregnant,  this must not be an excuse for not hiring the Candidate

4: While I don’t feel that they are inherently enemies, I would say that relationship can deteriorate very quickly. I believe this is because of the interest they serve. I feel that we like to think the Human Resources is just for the people. I also think that we like to believe that the Unions are just for the people. In the end, Human Resources serves their company, and they do what they can for the betterment of both the company and the employees. While the Union does what it can for the Union and the people, it does so for the betterment of the Union as well. This is because the Unions get paid by the dues of the employees, the more they get paid, the more the Union can ask for. This creates a tug-o-war with the employees, I honestly don’t envy those in Unions, that said, I have never been a part of one, so I do not know first hand. Does anyone have first-hand experience? 

It is imperative that we know the difference between a dependent and independent variable. Using an Online Library, please identify an article on this, and compare and contrast these two types of variables.

PLEASE EXPLAIN WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND WHY? (A MININUM OF 125 WORDS)

In the United States, the issue with drugs has been on a steady incline.  In 2016, there were more than 63,600 drug overdose deaths in the United Stated.  The age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths in 2016 was 21% higher than the rate in 2015.  Among persons aged 15 and over, adults aged 25-34, 35-44, and 45-54 had the highest rates of drug overdose deaths in 2016 at around 35 per 100,000.  West Virginia, Ohio, New Hampshire, the District of Columbia, and Pennsylvania had the highest observed age-adjusted drug overdose death rates in 2016.  The age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids other than methadone doubled between 2015 and 2016, from 3.1 to 6.1 per 100,000.  The independent variable in this article is the opioid use.  The dependent variable is death rate.

Drug overdose is a complex disease, and a public health issue quitting usually takes a strong will. Drugs change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to. Studies has been done about how drugs affect the brain and have found treatments that can help people recover from drug addiction to lead a productive live.

Drug abuse carries the risk of serious side effects, whether it is abuse of alcohol, an illegal drug such as cocaine, or medications prescribed by a doctor for instance opioid painkillers.

Drug overdose, accidental or intentional occurs when a person takes more than the recommended dose of a prescription or over-the-counter drug. I was surprised to learn that U.S. government does not track death rates for every drug. However, the National Center for Health Statistics at the   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collects information on many of the commonly used drugs. The CDC also has a searchable database, called CDC Wonder. Of the 64,000 drug overdose deaths estimated in 2016, the highest occurred from use of fentanyl and fentanyl analogs (synthetic opioids) with over 20,000 overdose deaths as indicated by CDC WONDER. Which is unfortunate because this is one of the highly control medications in the hospital but easy obtained outside the hospital.

complete at least two responses (the “Final Posts”) of at least 200 words each to classmates by the dates shown in the course schedule.

First Post:

I think advising agriculturists that they remain to harvest gigantic benefits from developing GM crops. At first, the cost is costly however cash is saved money on pesticides. To deliver the GM crops, present day biotechnology is utilized which requires exceedingly gifted individuals and advanced and costly equipment. Large organizations require significant interests in research facilities, hardware and HR, consequently the motivation behind why GM crops are more costly for agriculturists than customary yields. GM crops, agriculturists are told, are a far superior choice. It requires a shorter investment to deliver the coveted item, it is exact and there are no undesirable qualities. GM harvests can be created to be herbicide safe. This implies agriculturists could shower these products with herbicide and execute the weeds, without influencing the harvest. As a result, the measure of herbicide utilized as a part of one season would be decreased, with an ensuing diminished in costs for agriculturists and buyers. Bug protection was incorporated with the cotton, thus decreasing and notwithstanding expelling the utilization of pesticides, which are costly as well as, more essentially, destructive to the earth. Indeed, even creatures can be hereditary adjusted to be more slender, become speedier, and require less nourishment. They could be changed to have extraordinary qualities, for example, more prominent drain generation in dairy animals. These adjustments again prompt enhanced efficiency for agriculturists and at last lower costs for the purchaser. Altered products could maybe forestall flare-ups, for example, foot and mouth illness, which has crushed numerous ranchers and neighborhood economies.

Second Post:

In regards to GMO products, I know quite a lot about this subject matter.  I believe that there are far too many pros than cons when it comes to these foods.  They are resistant to insects, cutting down on the numerous diseases that insects carry.  They are also more susceptible to the heat, cold, and even drought.  This makes it easier for farmers to grow crops all year around.  Not only does this benefit them financially, it also benefits us as consumers.  They also have more of a tolerance to herbicides.  It is because of GMO products that we can buy seedless watermelon and seedless grapes.  This is because they can engineer the seeds to give the GM food stronger colors,  increase their shelf life, and of course eliminate the seeds. As far as safety goes, GM foods have met the same requirements of the foods grown from non-GM seeds. 

Even if there are some cons, such as allergies, I do not believe there is anything to harmful or dangerous about eating GMO products.  Some people may think that hey cause cancer, but there is no evidence to support that. I do know that they had used rats in an experiment to test the life span when fed GMO food.  The results of this experiment were too vague and the results were inconclusive.  

I think that people concerned about the safety of GMO products, just shouldn’t eat them. Right now there is no label requirement in the US, but if you want to avoid GM foods, just look for the labels that say “USDA certified organic.”  I do think that there should be a law requiring that they label GM foods, because people shouldn’t have to guess at what they are eating.

Background: When World War I ended in 1918, Americans welcomed what they hoped would be a return to normalcy. The decades that followed, however, are ones which would rarely be described as normal in comparison to what came before or after. After World War I ended and through the 1920s, a struggle ensued within the American nation regarding how best to define the nation’s essential character, as groups like the revived Ku Klux Klan fought a rearguard action to define nationhood solely in terms of white skin and Protestant religion against secularists, Catholics, flappers, “New Negroes,” and others who challenged the traditional order. Immediately thereafter, the New Deal implemented in response to the Great Depression revolutionized the role of the federal government in lives of the American people, in ways that many Americans believed violated the basic tenets of the Constitution—and others believed were not radical enough. Taken together, the decades from 1920 to 1940 may have transformed the American nation more than any other comparable time period.
