The Hispanic culture values children’s turning of age just like the American culture does. In American culture, teenagers can buy cigarettes and lottery tickets at age eighteen. At age sixteen, most American teens (depending on the state) can get a permit and begin to learn to drive. In Hispanic culture, fifteen is the chosen age; they value the girl’s fifteenth birthday because that is the age that they believe the young girl changes and becomes an adult, a woman. When the girl celebrates her fifteenth birthday, they celebrate by having a big turning-of-age ceremony and reception which they call a Quinceñera. The Quinceñera is a big event, almost like a wedding for the young girl.

The Social Action Theory and Symbolic Interactionism Max Weber believed that individuals were the key to society. He developed social action theory, the purpose of which was to find out why individuals function in certain ways. He thought that every social action performed by an individual had a meaning attached to it. Social actions are the result of conscious thought processes that take into consideration the reactions of other individuals. Weber identified four types of social action which include, reason (an instrumentally rational or calculated action), value or rational action (determined by belief), emotion or effectual action (dependent upon the feelings of the individual), and traditional

A recruiting hand-bill by George Washington himself even stated that those who enlisted in the Continental Army would receive “a bounty of Twelve dollars…and sixty dollars a year in GOLD, as well as handsome clothing and a large ration of provisions.” With every advertisement similar to this one, in which enlistment is claimed to be accompanied with incentives (usually money or land), empty promises were soon to follow. This was a strong driving force that led men to desert their posts because most soldiers were not getting paid what they had been promised. James Kirby Martin even alludes, in his book Ordinary Courage, to the fact that 100-acre was promised to veterans, but that land never materialized for most of them. He addresses this in context stating, “The truth was, none cared for them; the country was served, and faithfully served, and that was that was deemed necessary. It was, soldiers, look to yourselves; we want no more of you. I hope I shall one day find land enough to lay my bones in. If I chance to die in a civilized country, none will deny me that. A dead body never begs a grave; thanks for that.” Especially with monetary inflation being high during the time of the war, many soldiers deserted the army in order to provide for their families back home. The buying power of the new Continental dollar falls 90% and a number of food riots breakout due to the extreme prices. The lack of financial stability for

Violations of Federal False Claim Act (attempts to stop appropriate actions to stop or report violations of the law).

Furthermore, a government can usually make some request for an extension. In this case, the government can take over win or settle relator to receive 15% and 25% from the government award. It will depend on his involvement case. Also, the government cannot be intervening to the relator to choose whether it may continue by his own. If Dr. Prost wins he will recover some 30% of the government awards up to 30%. His court will be reducing some relator awards that are involved from the improper activities from the event. I will give some example if an employee will depend on the contractor to discovered his boss it was defrauding the government. The employee can be a file from the False Claims Act that can suit from the qui tam against his employee. By filling the suit the Department of Justice will make some consultation with the Local District Attorney. It can choose the intervene. The employee would be entitled from the percentage 15% and 25% of the governments awards. Throughout this topic, some False Claim act can be relator that should be entitled to the whistleblower

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin sentenced a Charleston man Thursday to 70 months in federal prison for gun crime, announced U.S. Attorney Carol Casto.

The first quiz I took was the “Emotional Intelligence Quiz.” My score was a seventeen out of twenty. The interpretation states, “You seem naturally well-attuned to others' emotions--a vital skill for forming compassionate connections. You scored well above average but still have room for growth; research suggests that people can improve their emotion recognition skills with practice.” The easiest part of this quiz was identifying the emotions that were presented. The most difficult part for me was understanding why my answer was incorrect because when my answer was incorrect, my choice was very similar to the correct answer. For example, at one point I picked shame instead of embarrassment, and the two look very similar. The main thing I learned from this quiz was

Facts: Murray Taxpayer was previously employed by a company who was illegally dumping chemicals into a river. Murray had knowledge concerning these illegal activities of his employer and made an ethical decision to report this to the Environmental Protection Agency. Upon inspection, the Environmental Protection Agency determined that Murrays employer was in fact illegally dumping and was appropriately fined for the charges. Murray’s employer reacted to his whistleblowing by firing him and making deliberate efforts to prevent Murray from gaining employment elsewhere. Murray then sued his former employer for damaging

While I was looking for a social action event to attend that involved, adolescence, children, families, and other individuals/professionals, I had a difficult time. Therefore, I reached out to my local town hall and found an opportunity that included each of these individuals to a certain degree. In other words, a few days before the actual event on July 20, 2017, I had been reviewing my town’s website. Granted, I recently had moved to this town over the last six months and never knew there were so many committees and commissions that existed before. To be honest, some of them I had reached out to see how I can become a volunteer or a member of the board. Nonetheless, I was looking and one event that had appealed to me was the event that is titled, “Middletown’s Youth Juvenile Board (MYJB). While I had some thoughts about what this meeting was going to be, I was intrigued so I wanted to learn more about it. Therefore, the next morning I had called to see if it was open to the public and so forth. To my amazement, the receptionist was very happy to share that it was open to the public, the meetings are two hours long, and they are held on the third Thursday of each month, and what the board does for these children and adolescents.

In this day and age, a corporation, family, or individual always has a potential risk of encountering fraud within their money supply. On average, fraud and abuse costs U.S. organizations more than $400 billion annually (Federal Bureau Investigation, 2010). Many may think that white collared crime is only money laundering or stealing, but that is only two out of the sum that countless culprits get away with. The term “white-collar crime,” originally coined in 1939 is synonymous with the full range of frauds committed by business and government professionals (Federal Bureau Investigation, 2010). These frauds include anything from bankruptcy fraud, money laundering, identity theft, corporate fraud to a wide number of threats all circling
