Strict Fraternization Policy

Now let's discuss some of the disadvantages. Consider your hectic schedule, and then consider another hectic schedule on top of it. While meetings and some events, like charity and recruitment, might be mandatory, others are optional. Though, chances are, you’ll want to attend the fun, frequent social events. Let’s get into the fun stuff, housing. While not all houses are the same, many have a lot of rules and requirements in order to live there, like specific study hours or attendance policies. If you’re more of a free spirit, this may not be your thing. Do you work? Well, you might have to. Fraternities and sororities require membership fees. For example, the initiation dues of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity are about $265 in addition to the

After looking over the Hoover High School code of conduct, there is one rule that I think is not justified. This rule is 3.15, assault upon a student or other person.

The way we interact with each other in our Army culture impacts the way we perceive behavior in relation to sexual assault and harassment. For instance, a culture that allows discriminating jokes or demeaning behavior helps to perpetuate an environment in which sexual assaults and harassment occur. Also, a Command that fails to punish or can be perceived to fail to punish perpetrators of sexual assault can further perpetuate a harmful environment and degrade unit morale and mission readiness. When you walk away from a deficiency, you have created a new standard.

But one thing they all have in common is they show the respect and honor the soldiers and superiors have for one another. Military courtesies are often very similar to the civilities found in the civilian world as well as daily life. The only difference is that it is mandatory for the courtesies seen in the military to be adhered to and followed by its soldiers. If these courtesies are not followed, the offending soldier can, and almost always will, be punished. This punishment can come in the form of corrective training, known commonly as essays, extra duty and can go as far as court martial, jail time and/or being discharged from the military. In the military, manners and levels of respect help to identify the difference between junior to senior ranking members. Courtesies and customs of the Army have been practiced for hundreds of years. They involve a code of conduct that is mandatory for every member of the army to follow. Some are obviously against the rules of professionalism such as public display of affection in uniform, as is being intoxicated in uniform and exhibiting violent behavior are conducts that are punishable in the military code of conduct. Others are unique codes of behavior that must to be followed in order to present a one of a kind organizational structure to the military as these customs and practices instill and show discipline and

Now, the universities’ and colleges of America are trying to clean up the act of sororities and fraternities’. But is coding really you going to help? By putting males and females causes real problem. Fraternities and sororities should not be coed is because it will not reduce the negative behaviors, but insure it and it will affect the colleges and universities in the long run.

In the book this was a constant and consistent factor and an obvious hint as to what to expect further along in the chapters which was a vicious tailspin out of control. Chapter 8 talked about a series of communication break downs. LTC Tom Kunk, the commander of the 1-502nd infantry regiment, set the standard of how the communication was going to exist within the platoons. The book talked about how he would lose his temper at his soldiers regardless how minor the issue. You could leave your weapon unattended or leave trash on the ground either way he would confront you in the most unprofessional way about it. This made his whole leadership style completely ineffective. I personally understand how much this can influence a soldier especially those who are still trying to figure out their leadership styles. If this is the only leadership style you deal with on a regular bases after a while it will start to become the standard for you. LTC Kunk being the commander of the regiment should be demonstrating better discipline and restraint. Instead this makes him appear to have no self control. He should have been setting the standard in a more positive way on communicating with members of the platoons, and creating a more cohesive environment. There were many other leaders in the platoon who made similar mistakes. This example doesn’t just apply to this particular situation but can also result the same in a family. If your mom and dad are constantly bickering and your always

Women have been sexually harassed and assaulted in the work force for years, and for many years, the US Army has been dealing with this enormous and overwhelming issue, through the help of their agency known as the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP). In the US Army regulation 600-20, Army Chief of Staff, General Raymond T Odierno, States the purpose, “This regulation prescribes the policies and responsibilities of command, which include the Well-being of the force, military discipline, and conduct, the Army Equal Opportunity (EO) Program, and the Army Sexual Assault Victim Program.“ For a long time, the Army’s EOP Equal Opportunity

The DND claims that recent efforts have been made to deal with harassment and improve the relations between the genders. Critics, on the hand, have made the assertion that the efforts being made are not enough to eradicate a way of thinking that has existed for decades (Pugliese, 2015). Moreover, the Canadian Armed Forces’ created Operation Honour in an attempt to ‘eliminate harmful and inappropriate sexual behaviour in the Canadian Military’ (Government of Canada, 2015). This operation was sparked by the report by Justice Deschamps which led to the government conceding that the report indicated the truthful existing of an underlying sexualized culture in the Canadian Armed Forces (hereinafter referred to as the CAF). Moreover, they stated if this issue was not publicly addressed by the CAF itself, it would create a more conducive environment to serious sexual assault (Deschamps, 2015). Furthermore, this operation stated that the conduct that has sparked public outrage is morally wrong and does not reflect the values and ethical principles of the DND and CAF (Government of Canada, 2015).

The sociological imagination is to think of society from a different perspective and as an individual to take a step back and think how a situation affects the bigger picture. One of the biggest concerns in today’s military is fear of retaliation from supervisors after an individual reports sexual assault. Within the U.S. Military there have been policies put in place such as the whistleblower protection act, but as we all know when there comes change individuals refuse to comply. Civilians expect that U.S. Military members act in a more professional manner due to the higher standards then the general population.

1st platoon did the exact opposite, with leaders publicly ridiculing and berating their subordinates in front of other soldiers. The diminishing unit cohesion led to a lack of respect between subordinates and superiors. Due to the overwhelming amount of disrespect within the unit, no clear and concise standards were ever set in regards to professionalism between subordinates and superiors. The subordinates were blatantly disrespectful, mouthed off, undisciplined, and did not swiftly follow lawful commands set before them. The leaders lacked communication, direction and were unable to set any boundaries between their subordinates. This led to inappropriate friendships, which in turn led to many undesirable behaviors being ignored.

An overarching social paradox is inherent in the way Canadian citizens internalize the notion of civic duty; while violent participation in the Great War is lauded as personal and national achievement, post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from significant trauma, physical or social, is also recognized as an integral part of the military consciousness. Veterans experience grief as a result of the expected ownership of this psychological binary, and the ability to communicate grief among groups of veterans becomes problematic due to other binaries existing as part of the Great War experience, namely notions of male camaraderie. Groups of males, particularly soldiers, are forged and cultivated based on pre-existing masculine values, and the analysis of the ramifications of imposed masculinity in relation to group dynamics and individualism is as significant as the depictions of violence in the narrative of war. If the Great War alters conceptions of pre-war and post-war male groups due to trauma, then the war period offers an effective analysis for the deconstruction of pastoral male camaraderie prevalent before the devastating physical and social violence that ensues. Eve Sedgwick’s text, “Between Men” (1985), defines homosociality as the “social bonds between persons of the same sex … it is applied to such activities as ‘male

Fraternization in an office can disrupt good order and discipline within a civilian company or in a military organization; even though it seem harmless it can leave an office and its ranks in disorder During this Session Long Project I will identify the ethical dilemma associated with fraternization, explain how the Utilitarian and Deontological Morality Ethics theory can be applied, I will also evaluate and explain if there can be a win-win solution to this issue and lastly I will explain the approach that I consider is in the best interest of the organization and would be best appropriate.

Spouses of officers are trying to get their voice out there, they want people to know that the officers have a family, and that they are just trying to do their job. The article uses a little bit of subjective and also some objective. Strengths of this article is noting what the spouses say about their significant others, and weakness were the journalist not writing enough in his/her own words.

Prejudice within the military can be found when service members of racial and sexual minorities are being the target of favoritism. Back in 1948, anti-Black approaches were widespread movements in the U.S. military, what made President Truman order an end to the racial discrimination in the armed forces. Even though Whites' approaches toward Blacks in the military have transformed in the past fifty years, racial prejudice is still common throughout the military society. Moreover, substantial numbers of heterosexual service members expressed negative attitudes toward gay men and lesbians (Race).
