The Creation of Standards – PO#2
Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards is a critical aspect of effectively managing the OSH function of any company. By in large, the standards developed by OSHA have been very successful. However, the process for creating these regulations has become ridiculously mucked up through the years. This sections is aimed at determining what must be done to allow for a more unrestricted approach to the creation of federal OSH standards. The researcher will suggest that strong, well-written standards will dramatically enhance the way businesses throughout the U.S. manage worker health and safety.
Exactly what is a Standard
According to Dictionary.com (2013), the definition of “standard” is, something considered by an authority as a basis of comparison. The term also speaks of a rule or principle used as a basis for judgment. To most people, the word standard would potentially conjure thoughts of normalcy or average/expected requirement with respect to quality, quantity, grade, etc. Another interesting aspect of standards is that they are closely correlated to morals and ethics in many people’s daily lives. For example, growing up, many people strive to live up to the standards put over them by their parents, grandparents, teachers, and so forth. It may be safe to assume that many people will seek to deliver upon reasonable standards that are properly communicated.
OSHA is the responsible party in the U.S. for creating standards pertaining to OSH. PELs which were extensively covered in the above section are but one example of standards that have been established by OSHA, albeit a relatively poor one. Anyone with even a novice understanding of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), title 2...

...ed effect they must not only make sense but also appeal to typical worker. The researcher recalls one testimony by a relatively young construction worker who described his view of OSHA standards as a list of “Thou Shall Not’s”.
A final recommendation which the researcher feels is necessary to strengthen the management function of OSH across all U.S. industries is to having components of the Congressional Review Act amended. In particular would be the passage that prohibits any federal agency from issuing a rule that is substantially the same as one that has been rescinded (DOL, n. d. b). By having this powerful clause in place, OSHA cannot redevelop the failed Ergonomic Standard and thus must proceed with a more passive recommendation approach. Again, because this is not an actual standard, it is tremendously difficult for an employer to be cited for and penalized.
from the camera angles to the acting. The Godfather Part II directed by Francis Ford Coppola, It resides in the same category as Goodfellas and Heat. The movie Goodfellas is so spectacular due to the fact that it demonstrates how life in the mafia actually was and not some sugar coated film version of the mob, nevertheless, it sets so many standards for movies to come. With Heat it shows how a broken man can save his family. In The Godfather Part II they manage to show the lighter and darker side
Storytelling is a powerful tool that everybody own and is a part of everyday communication. Telling stories help us to learn about ourselves and others. “The process of finding our voices, naming our lives, and telling our stories is central to what I understand about the experience of empowerment” (Carter, 1994, p. 85). Through storytelling, we learn more about ourselves, our feelings, values and influences to people around us. By being aware of oneself, we acknowledges our “authentic voice with
the fear they had for the safety of the nation. In August 1939 nuclear physicists sent manuscripts to Albert Einstein in fear the Germany might use the new knowledge of fission on the uranium nucleus as way to construct weapons. In response, on August 2, 1939, Einstein sent a letter to President Roosevelt concerning the pressing matter to use uranium to create such weapons before Germany (Doc A-1). To support the development of the atomic bomb, President Roosevelt approved the production of the bomb
The long and intense musical undertone in the Godfather Part II serves a unique role in the flow of the film. The diegetic music sets the scene throughout many different changes in scenery as well as plays a huge part in setting the mood and tone of the characters with their different changes of emotion. In this paper, I will demonstrate how the musical score creates transitions within the film, identifies with the characters and creates underscoring for moments in the film when there is not much
the Power of an Illusion part 2. I am choosing this one because I gained a lot of information on it. It started off by talking about our constitution and how all men are created equal. Well when you look back at it, was every man created equal? The answer is NO! Back when they first started this country they had slaves and men were more dominant then women. A slave had no rights at all and resorting back to the saying, they definitely are not treated equal. After that part, they talked about how race

The Sensory integration frame of reference (FOR) has been used in occupational therapy treatment to treat individuals with Asperger’s syndrome ((Pfeiffer, Koenig, Kinnealey, Sheppard, & Henderson, 2011). Children with sensory processing deficits have difficulty regulating responses to sensations and stimuli (Pfeiffer et al., 2011). Therefore, the sensory integration FOR is designed to provide controlled sensory experiences so that an adaptive motor response is elicited (Pfeiffer et al., 2011). Interventions
all because of the mines that “remade a formerly isolated region at the ragged edges of states and markets into an industrial crossroads fed by circuits of capital, labor, and transnational collaboration that extended deep into both nations” (4). Part II also focuses on the Chinese and Native (Apache and Yaqui) immigrants to Mexico. The border was difficult easy for some, but greatly difficult for others to cross. An Act was passed in 1882 that allowed Chinese to enter Mexico, as long as their profession

Part 1: Evaluate Richard Taylor's view that morality is a matter not of rational principles but of having your heart in the right place. Explore the pros and cons of such a view. Taylor’s view that having compassion is all we need is a compelling thought. There would be no need for logic and reason, but this is not a perfect world. The thought that this would be all we need falls flat based on the fact there are people who lack capability and/or desire for compassion. You cannot enforce or compel

Ralph has several positive characteristics but he also has several crucial weaknesses that prevent him from being the perfect leader. In chapter one the boys decide who they want to be leader. The boys decide on Ralph, “”Vote for a chief!”…every hand outside the choir except Piggy’s was raised immediately. Then Piggy, too, raised his hand grudgingly into the air.” (Golding 18-19). From the very beginning Ralph is seen as the leader. He becomes the one the boys look up to and depend on to make decisions
Representations of war in Henry IV Part 2 demonstrate the chaos of rebellion and the fickle nature of kingship. While there are many discussions of warfare in this play, the action is not presented in the text. War is vital to displaying the power and vulnerability of the person who wears the crown and is used as a way to display masculinity as an important virtue. Through the deterioration of King Henry IV and the slow rise of Prince Hal, we witness a borderline stagnant country in turmoil. The
