Discussion Prompt #2
Herbert L. Packers heuristic tool is comprised of two normative patterns: the crime control model and the due process model. The crime control model emphasizes the repression of crime as the most important function of the criminal justice system, and the due process model values the freedom of individual citizens from unjust acts committed by the state. In your opinion, should criminal justice swing toward the crime control model or the due process model? Explain your answer.

External Forces on Policymaking
There are many forces influential in policymaking. Policymaking within the criminal justice system is heavily impacted by public opinion. With varying public opinion on a specific issue, our criminal justice system has an ongoing challenge to establish a sound policy. Discuss the ways policy is influenced by public opinion, as well as political, economic, legal, and ideological forces. Prepare a post detailing the extent to which you believe each of these five forces should play a role in policy formulation.

HRM 310 SNHU Changing Work Environment Questions
OverviewDirectionsEmployees: Currently your company has a remote work program on an as-needed basis for each department. The employees must meet with their manager and discuss the need to work remotely. Only short-term remote work arrangements are granted, and these arrangements are usually for a few days at a time. There was an exception to this policy during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when the company was forced to work remotely. Now that the pandemic is under control, employees are returning to the office. A survey conducted by your company showed that employees want more flexibility in their work arrangements, specifically work-from-home options for longer durations of time. Employees felt more engaged and motivated to work, in many cases working longer than their typical eight-hour day. They are unhappy with the return to the office.Managers: Employees were hired to work onsite, not to work from home for long periods of time. The employer is already providing flexible work arrangements on an as-needed basis. If extended, managers are worried about low productivity and engagement by employees. During the pandemic, some employees were hard to reach when needed during the workday. In addition, managers are unsure how to manage and lead a team in a remote environment while still meeting the goals of the company. Managers understand this is a hot topic in the workforce and would like to find a way to compromise to retain employees.Specifically, your response must address the following rubric criteria:Response to Employees: Create a response for employees from the lens of the HR professional.What information is important for employees (non-managers) to hear from Human Resources?How is your response tailored to employees who now feel a greater sense of leverage?How do you address the changes needed to work in a remote environment?What information is important for managers to hear from Human Resources?How do you address the changes needed to manage in a remote environment?Research: Incorporate reputable resources that reflect depth and breadth of research. Consider using Shapiro Library, Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), legal sources, module resources, and trade sources.

Public policy can be used to provide more incentives for conserving and penalties for consuming. For example, raising the gasoline tax by 50 cents or $1 per gallon would create pressure for smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles. These taxes could be used to support mass transit. Large tax credits could be given for using sustainable energy such as solar and wind power, and prices for natural gas and electricity could be increased. This would encourage energy conservation and the greater use of renewable energy. Tax incentives could be provided for making existing housing more energy efficient. Building codes could be changed to require greater energy efficiency and the use of renewable building products. Greater efforts could be made to encourage or require recycling. The use of hazardous chemicals could be banned. Corporations could be taxed for the depletion of resources and for pollution. This might encourage greater environmental responsibility. Tax credits for children could be capped at two children. This would be an attempt to limit population growth. What is your opinion of measures such as these?

Breast Conditions
A 25-year-old woman presents for evaluation of right-sided breast pain. She reports the onset suddenly 7 days ago. She has never been pregnant, her menses occur monthly, and she is using combined oral contraceptive pills as her method of contraception. She denies significant medical and surgical history, no change in weight, and has no first degree or family relatives with breast cancer, either maternally or paternally. What portion of the physical exam is of most concern for the APRN? Provide three differential diagnoses based on the case presented. Her Pap smear 2 years ago was normal, and she is sexually active with one male partner. Her last menstrual period was 3 weeks ago and today is day 22 of her cycle. She denies trauma to the chest area, has no nipple piercings, and no significant breast stimulation during sexual activity.

How do the traditional learning and online learning methods compare in effectiveness for college students globally?

Is Online Learning Effective?
Education has undergone various transformations over the last two decades. Some of the major transformations have been greatly influenced by external factors like technology and the 2019 Covid pandemic. The evolution of technology over the same period has greatly influenced learning with the growth of the internet leading to an increase in online learning. The Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in online learning as physical attendance to classes was banished.
Online learning has gained prominence over the last three years with more students preferring it to traditional learning methods. This study is supposed to show whether online learning is effective an aspect that will help more students in picking the learning method. The significance of this paper is to show whether online learning is effective through the various research papers that have been carried out.
Research Question
How do the traditional learning and online learning methods compare in effectiveness for college students globally?
Research Methodology
This study aims to show whether online learning is effective. Online learning has gained prominence over the last five years with more students preferring this learning method than traditional learning methods. To show the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of online learning, secondary data will be used for the study. The study will use previous studies on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of online learning. The data will be sourced from the internet.
Preliminary Supposition and Implications
Some of the studies on online learning have been inconclusive (Abuhmaid & Jarrah, 55). However, in comparison to the COVID-19 period, online learning was effective and has, over the years, gained prominence. This study is supposed to show its effectiveness by gathering data from other studies.
Online learning is effective, and thats why it has gained prominence over the last five years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when classes had been suspended, online learning was effectively used to ensure learning did not stop (Ali et al., 578). One of the satisfactions gained by online learning is quick feedback from lecturers to students (Tran, 107).
Conclusion
There is a lot of study to explore on the effectiveness of online learning to offer a comparison with traditional learning methods. This makes the topic of great importance, as the information gained can be used to make important recommendations on online learning. The impact that certain worldwide issues, such as COVID-19, has proven to use that the impact of online learning is very important.
