Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment CPFR is a technique used by large-scale and small-scale firms in their supply chain to assist and support joint practices at different levels of the supply chain. The CPFR is adopted to enhance cooperative inventory management and improve an organization’s supply chain. It seeks to eliminate mistakes and errors in the supply chain that would otherwise disrupt operations in different supply chain levels. The supply chain for Feets Shoe Company can improve its performance by incorporating the CPFR method in its supply chain. It will allow the company to share adequate information regarding the respective product at different supply chain stages to facilitate planning, especially at the retail level, and the ultimate satisfaction of their customers.

The CPFR approach enhances the vertical coordination and incentives specialization across firm-level boundaries. It gives directions and principles to determine ethical and unethical behaviors in the company and its supply chain. Through adequate information distribution through the CPFR approach, Fleets company can recognize the implications of local and federal laws regarding business ethical standards. High-profile cases such as the shoe wear supply chain are prone to lack transparency to determine the activities at every stage of the supply chain. The Fleets company can benefit from using the CPFR technique and allow for transparency and effective coordination. The Fleets shoe company can identify their source of influence for ethical behaviors in the supply chain and implement the outcomes, hence perfecting operations at different supply chain stages.

The CPFR model provides a stable and practical framework that facilitates a smooth flow of commodities and information from vendors to the final consumer of the product. The technique also helps the Fleets company enhance its supply chain management by allowing the leaders to discover their true definition of loyalty. It makes it much easier to resolve disputes at different levels of the supply chain if players at this stage fail to adhere to the code of conduct or are involved in unethical behavior that can potentially jeopardize the supply chain of the Fleets Company. The CPFR model guides the retailers who provide shoes to act ethically by forecasting and determining the correct orders to offset consumer demands. An unbalanced market will likely lead to overpriced commodities due to very high demands. It means that retailers exploit consumers due to the disruption in the supply chain.

It is undeniable that the CPFR has helped many organizations streamline their supply chain and improve their general performance. It helps eliminate grey areas and allows for more trust between players at different levels of the supply chain. Fleets Company should consider adopting the model to gain more transparency and establish ethical behaviors for its employees, vendors, and retailers. This action will provide guidelines for handling unethical behaviors and consequent punishments.

You just read about your topic from a variety of different perspectives. What did you learn? What surprised you? What would you like to know more about? Free write for at least 2-3 paragraphs.

I learned a variety of ways and clinical studies that were being conducted regarding concussions in general. I was able to see the different ways people were being affected by concussions not only in high school. As well as some techniques being made to help prevent but also to help after the concussion was attained. This was very interesting to look at the different ways concussions were incorporated in different peoples lives. Although I did find some research that wasn’t narrowed down to high school, I believe learning about all ages is important. I also think it was crucial for me to get research that looked at before, during, and after the injury has occurred.

I was surprised at the facts and statistics that were being presented in the research. As well as the fact that I thought about neck strengthening and then I found an article regarding that. I was very surprised at how common and universal concussions were. They occurred all over and there was an abundance of research being done to learn more about the topic. I was also surprised at the type of studies that were being conducted involving young athletes.

I would like to know more about the repercussions from getting a concussion. So, what short term affects there and what long term affects there are. As well as does playing sports from a young age have any affect? Does continuing on to college ball or professional have any affect? If so, what are they? I would also like to know if age and gender have any affect with obtaining concussions? As well as if a certain time period is better for recovery and prevention?

Blackfish Film and Ethics

Virtue Ethics

Virtue ethics refers to a philosophy developed by Aristotle. It is a character-based approach to mortality. This theory indicates that practice is vital in the process of virtue acquisition. Virtue ethics contrasts with the view that virtue is present in the world as a natural representation of goodness. Virtue ethics being character-based means that there are different traits and forms of virtue, but all come from constant practice in one’s moral character. For instance, courage would be considered a type of bravery and resoluteness, but bravery comes from years of constantly acting bravely, whereas resoluteness is often displayed when you are angry or feel threatened. Virtue ethics also suggests that healthy interpersonal relationships can have their own virtues (Van Zyl, 46). For example, generosity would be one such virtue for many people around the world since it’s seen as a way to give and express care for others without expecting anything in return.

Critique of Virtue Ethics

An alleged problem or issue with virtue ethics is that it fails to appreciate the intractability of dispute, theory ladenness, and the perspectivai. A debate may be intractable because there is a lack of consensus, or because the issue it addresses cannot be resolved. Theory ladenness refers to the idea that our moral theory should not be biased but include all relevant factors. Virtue ethics is perspectivai since it rejects Kantian or utilitarian formulations that are based on specific perspectives. In virtue ethics, people choose actions that seem good at the time and can change their minds as new evidence arises. An article by Connie Whitenack from 2005 entitled “What’s Wrong With Virtue Ethics” outlines these criticisms by stating a number of common features which have been argued to make virtue ethics deficient as a guiding principle for behavior decision-making.

Virtue Ethics assumes that moral goodness is a matter of following the right rules and displaying the right virtues. We must always do what is considered morally good and refrain from doing anything considered morally bad. Never mind that we may not know for certain what we ought to do; we should simply follow our conscience and hope that it is reliable enough to guide us correctly. This philosophy has many flaws, as can be seen in some of its particular rules about how people should behave. For example, if a person has been taught since childhood to revere those who have authority, they may find themselves naturally obeying those with authority even if those people are doing something harmful or wrong.

The blackfish film is closely related with virtue ethics. The blackfish documentary shows the lives of people working with Orcas. It follows the life of a famous orca trainer, Dawn Brancheau, who was killed by an orca in 2010 at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. While it seems that few people would care about the death of a whale trainer, this film sparks controversy on how animals are treated in such places. This movie is praised for its engaging and emotive portrayal of animal abuse and exploitation in captivity; therefore, it can be said that it is virtuous. The film portrays the lives of whales and what really goes on behind closed doors at places like SeaWorld.

Ted Talk Related to Animal Rights

Buhazza, Noura talks about animal torturing. She describes how humans with no humanity torture animals for their own benefits. The ted talk discusses that humans feel a sense of power when they torture an animal, which is what they rely on (Buhazza, 2). They are humans who need to have control and feel superior to the animal victim. The talk describes how animals tend to react differently depending on what part of their body is tortured. If it’s their back then the animal will be aggressive and try to flee, but if it’s their leg then they will be in pain until the torturing stops. This shows that different emotions can exist when animals are tortured, depending on what part of their body is hurt or killed.

This ted talk shows that there should be laws that control human interaction with animals. Animals must be protected. Humans are the only animals on this planet that torture animals for their own gains and no one should be allowed to go against that. Humans are under a code of morality, which is why we shouldn’t hurt any living thing cause it’s just wrong and humanity should never go against morality.

Blackfish Film and Animal Rights

The documentary titled ‘Blackfish’ is mainly regarding natural history of whales on the basis of how they were treated by humans before shooting one’s attack against them. The Blackfish film illustrates the segregation, hunting practices, and annihilation that face the sea world which comprise of the whales and other animals. These practices are effectively demonstrated in the Tilikum captivity ordeal, the dolphin hunting procedure and many other ways in which the hunt practices are conducted during whale hunts of sea creatures. The movie reveals these incidents to the audience and tells them that there is no need to have a look at these cruel acts which are happening in the field. The people who are involved in these activities have thought it fit to kill whales and other marine animals thinking of their own safety and convenience. In this way, they also avoid being seen as criminals by the people who are watching them doing this activity.

In this film, Orca is discussed to demonstrate great aggressiveness after being incarcerated in the SeaWorld. However, SeaWorld has been fighting against that idea. Since the film was released, it has caused a great amount of controversy on the trainers working in such places and the killers have been removed from captivity. The film is not just about killer whales but also about how they are treated by humans. In general, Blackfish documentary is a great piece on how we treat animals, including whales and dolphins, in captivity at SeaWorld in John Krasinski’s directorial debut. It is an emotional documentary with power conversations to help change our perspective of animal rights and treatment.

This movie has greatly demonstrated the role of ethics in the society and how the society must truly have ethical and moral values to have a better society. The film has shown us that the real leaders of this world are the people who are kind and give love to everyone (Cowperthwaite). The people who are cruel and hate to others will be thrown away from his or her position. This has been showed by the documentary and I can’t state it more properly than that. This article discusses ethical issues surrounding the use of exotic or trained marine mammals for entertainment purposes and how Blackfish, as well as other films such as Dolphin Diary helped to raise awareness in this topic. This is an important discussion that needs to be more widely discussed.

During the film, I felt so sorry for the animals of SeaWorld, who live in small aquariums and must experience horrible things. They are beaten and forced to perform extremely unnatural acts while they were helpless and defenseless. There are stories about orcas attacking their trainers in their habitats at SeaWorld, something that is always talked about in this documentary film. No one seems to believe what really happened to these orcas before the attack or why did it happen at all. Blackfish wants to give its opinion on why those killings happened because of ethical issues inside SeaWorld company.

The film teaches us to always think twice before taking an action. This is mostly vital when those actions tend to infringe other people’s rights of expression or liberty. The people who are cruel like those in this film will never be rewarded and they will be erased from the society. The importance of showing the good and bad sides of this world can never be over emphasized, especially when you are seeing it on large screen. Those who have such values in mind must see this film to foster their ethical and moral values into what they do for a living. In a time where we have to share our opinion about many things whether good or bad, we must still remember that these opinions may not just be expressed by us but also by people around us too. Even if a few people do not support you, it does not mean that you are wrong.

From the film, we can also see how the marine family face harsh training and punishments. These shows the level of lack of empathy in the society and its effects. In this article, we can read the following: “Blackfish would probably be a better film if it had not been produced to make a point about the ethics of keeping marine animals in captivity. Yet despite its intent, Blackfish also humanizes marine animals and exposes their suffering and desperation.”

Thus, animal rights have been a major topic since the production of the Blackfish film. The movie has demonstrated animal abuse on a grand scale, with the orcas being kept in captivity and abused by SeaWorld. The documentary rightfully gained much attention from the people of the world who care about animal rights (Stokes 160). Not to mention, the film has also received criticism throughout its run-on different channels such as social media and traditional news media. When it turns out that these supposed “animal rights activists” are actually just taking advantage of this marine park, Animal Rights Organization has created an action plan for what needs to be done in order to help save these animals and make them happy once again. The Blackfish film is a must watch for anyone who is interested in animal rights or activism as a whole (whether they care about orcas or not).

The article, “SeaWorld should set captive orcas free” stipulates Jean-Michel Cousteau’s calling on the SeaWorld to release its captive orcas. The Oceanographic explorer, indicates that “They need to be released and put back into a place where we can keep an eye on them and they can reconnect with nature,”. Cousteau and his organization Ocean Future Society has been advocating for the release of marine mammals in captivity, a movement that has created conflict with advocacy groups such as People for the Ethical treatment of Animals which are calling for the closure of all marine mammal parks. The article indicates that SeaWorld is “one of the most controversial institutions in North America” due to its poor treatment of orcas. The article also mentions that this type of treatment is not limited to SeaWorld, but it is instead industry-wide phenomenon. Nowadays, there are at least 81 orcas currently held captive in marine parks, zoos and aquaria across the globe (Jean-Michel 4).

1. Information Security Breach at the American Medical Collection Association

In June 2019, the US experienced one of the worst instances of breach of security within the medical sector. Precisely, the American Medical Collection Association (AMCA) was hacked, leading to exposure of critical details of over 20 million patients (Hodge, 2019). Accordingly, AMCA and its contracting firms encountered detrimental consequences that entail numerous lawsuits which led to their bankruptcy. Similarly, the victims’ (patients’) addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, medical information, social security numbers, and payment data were exposed. Thus, this incident exhibits loopholes and weaknesses on matters about information security. Subsequently, it means that interested professionals and firms should conduct further research and development strategies to promote better protection of information, hence avoiding similar incidents in the future. Besides, this occurrence suggests that information security practice is a highly-challenging and sensitive endeavor that demands lots of diligence. Finally, the unfortunate incident shows that an information security breach is a catastrophic event that attracts massive damages and losses to the victims. 

2. University of Delaware (UD) has a corporate vision statement that focuses on promoting information security through the development of a suitable institutional framework and culture for effectively managing information risk. Accordingly, the vision statement strives to ensure effective, efficient, and secure operations of every unit of the University. Hence, UD has a suitable vision statement that encourages information security by influencing and shaping its operation strategies. UD’s vision statement could be accessed through the following link –

https://www1.udel.edu/security/mission.htmlThe main challenge in finding an appropriate vision statement is that several organizations do not vividly and explicitly express their focus in promoting information security. Besides, many organizations focus on information security at a departmental rather than a corporate level. That is, several firms have offices that focus on information security. Moreover, the use of terminologies that entail vision, mission, and information security as search terms does not offer suitable vision and mission statements. Instead, it provides vision and mission statements for organizations whose aims are to provide advice and strategies for encouraging information security. 

Lack of attention to information security at a corporate level could discourage the allocation of sufficient resources and efforts toward the promotion of information security. Accordingly, organizations would fail to secure their information adequately. It could mean that an organization does not prioritize information security by not expressing interest and focus on information security at a corporate level. 

The University of Delaware’s vision statement exhibits a link to relevant strategies for encouraging information security. Specifically, the vision statement strives to explain how the institution would realize its goal of ensuring the safety of its information. 

Case Study Report “Gambling with Security”

The prevalent loopholes and weaknesses in the organization could facilitate information security breaches. The article reveals that human elements serve as the main weak points through which social engineers use to access and manipulate firms’ information (Ashenden, 2008). Besides, a weak organizational culture could encourage leakage of sensitive information to intruders. For instance, a practice of not deactivating accounts and login details of outgoing employees could render a firm vulnerable to hacking and unauthorized access to critical and sensitive information by malicious persons. Besides, the failure of employees to handle their roles diligently discourages the security of data. For example, security guards could allow a stranger into their facility by not using applicable identification documents to confirm the identities of incoming persons. Moreover, the practice of revealing sensitive information to strangers makes the organization more vulnerable to hacking and information security breaches. Also, technical challenges such as poor generation and storage of access tools such as badges and the use of weak or no passwords tend to promote information security breaches (Mitnick, 2005). For example, an individual could have access to and ownership of more than one badges that are used for accessing different places in the facility. Similarly, organizations could lose their information by making them easily accessible, modifiable, and readable to virtually everyone. More so, the use of single and simple restriction tools such as badges could make it easier for hackers to access firms’ information. 

Accordingly, organizations should embrace the use of strong passwords and other relevant strategies to regulate access to their information (Miloslavskaya & Tolstoy, 2019). Moreover, firms should use coding to make it difficult for unauthorized persons to read and retrieve vital details from their databases. Likewise, firms should adjust their information to make them more resistant to unauthorized modification and other forms of alterations. Besides, firms should train and develop their employees to ensure that they remain vigilant and well-informed about suitable strategies for encouraging the safety and security of their information. Also, employees should exhibit sufficient diligence while handling their jobs to ensure that all the established strategies for encouraging information security are implemented. Therefore, firms could significantly reduce instances of information security breaches by developing their human and technological resources.

Code of Street Peer Response

Peer 1: Ariel

I agree with your perception of decent values as a significant identifier within the American middle class. The values advanced through the working poor are what are termed as American by mainstreaming the ideas of self-reliance, sacrifice, hard work, observation and abiding by the laws, and pursuit of education. I particularly like your introduction of religion into these values, because it plays a vital role in defining the said value and giving them more power. Street values and respect have created a buzzword, which you mention in your work; street cred. I like how you define it simply as a response to various situations that are used to define worth and personhood. On collective efficacy, do you think the concept goes beyond a community into larger societies such as a nation’s ability to maintain order?Peer 2: Sandra

The idea of mainstream thought that is embedded in decent values are important in defining a society as you have mentioned. I agree with your position that the definition of these values is largely left to the working poor, or the middle class. Particularly, your presentation provides an important perspective that the values held by these working poor allow them to navigate life, as evidenced by their status in their communities and also their understanding of respect and code of the street. By having decent values, these communities do not neglect the rules of the street, but rather steer clear of their path. Your focus on collective efficacy as a tool to enhance the education system is refreshing. I think ore can be achieved by societies if they focus all of their energies on ensuring that decent values are a part of the education system for the working poor communities.

Clinical mental health internship

Internships are part and parcel of the learning program, and one can fully understand what is meant by being in the field for what they are studying for. I am taking Clinical mental health, and an internship comes along as an essential aspect of my career. Therefore, the internship focusing on what will be learned and its benefits will add to my job. Thus with this in mind St. Luke’s Behavioural Health center would be an appropriate place to have my internship. Intermountain Centers Flagstaff, AZ, would also be very reasonable for my internship.

The two centers focus on making sure that the mental health of their patients is well looked after. The two centers are also well known for their excellent quality care and the ability for interns to learn from them perfectly. The two centers are also strict in following all the states’ requirements about practicum and internship. With the experience obtained from these two institutions, I hope to work with one of them in the future. However, even if not so, I will be one of the best in the field due to the experience I will get from the internship.

Code of the Street

Question A

Two cultural forces are responsible for shaping the reactions of people in neighborhoods: decent values and street values. Decent values are attached to the middle-class and are taught by families that represent the culture, values, and mindset of the mainstream expectations, standards, and behavioral goals (Siegel 194). While the middle-class families are better off compared to their street-focused neighbors, they are still working poor. Their values are strategically placed on hard work and self-reliance with hopes of a brighter tomorrow for their children (Siegel 194). For example, both parents work 3-4 jobs combined to give their children a better education with hopes of a better tomorrow. In complete opposite of decent values, street values are representative of the results of despair in inner-city lifestyles and are opposed to the mainstream thought of a given society (Siegel 194). The street culture pushes individuals towards deviance, opposing the law, and creating a counter culture. Elijah Anderson asserts that civil law is weak street justice fills the void. For instance, the violence in the streets is so bad that 20-year old young adults describe their life as a “kill or be killed” type of existence.

Question B

The code of the street demands that individuals have a dominant attitude and temperament. The informal rules that govern the attitudes and ways of responding to a challenge are often brutal and very violent, sometimes fata (Siegel 94). Anderson points to the same theme, asserting the role of respect to be of critical consequences in the way people relate in the streets. According to Anderson, respect defines an invisible hierarchy, understanding how to treat the next person, whether to challenge their position, and being ready to live with the consequences of the actions. Respect, when attained, gives people the power to survive unbothered in the streets. For example, one way to gain respect is through violence. The availability of drugs and weapons in the community also worsens the situation, because it demands one to be ready to act in the way of the street. The code of the street demands that no one involves the police because the street takes care of its own, a mindset that has destroyed life for young black people, yet used as one way of gaining respect.

Question C

Theoretically, for the community to reflect collective efficacy, there needs to have a change in how the neighborhood views law enforcement. Collective efficacy means that community members are able to control the behavior of groups and individuals in their neighborhoods. Controlling the behavior of people will allow the community to create safer and more orderly societies. For the community to reflect collective efficacy, more people will need to adopt decent values. Theoretically, this can be attained by raising the status of communities to middle-class working families. For example, if people are more concerned with getting the best for their families, working hard to pay off that mortgage, getting their kids through private schools, and similar decent-valued perspectives, then the overall collective efficacy of the community will be achieved.
